The illness experience of patients following a myocardial infarction : implications for patient education
Creators: name: DeAdder, Dawna Nadine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study used the research method of phenomenology to elicit the patient's perspective of the illness experience following a myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose of studying this experience was to gain an understanding of what it meant to men and women to have a MI, what the learning needs were following a MI, and how these learning needs were met. It was proposed that patients would view the illness experience differently from health professionals, thus the patients would identify different learning needs. Anderson's (1985) adaptation of Kleinman's health care system framework was used to conceptualize this problem. Three males and two females, ranging in age from 42 to 77 years, participated in the study. Data were collected through 11 in-depth interviews. From analysis of this data significant statements were extracted to provide a description of the phenomenon under study. The findings of this study suggest that health professionals and patients do view the MI experience from different perspectives. The emphasis of the patients on understanding the MI experience from the reality of their world is reflected in their attempts to rationalize the occurrence of the MI and their desires to know more about their own MI, prognosis, and treatment. In order to plan patient education that will assist post-MI patients in their recovery health professionals must assess patients individually for their: (1) beliefs regarding risk factors and causes of MI; (2) desire for Information; (3) preference for method of instruction; and, (4) preference for timing of education.

description: Inhibition of human mitochondrial peptide deformylase (HsPDF) plays a major role in reducing growth, proliferation, and cellular cancer survival. In this work, a series of 32 actinonin derivatives for HsPDF (PDB: 3G5K) inhibitor’s anticancer activity was computationally analyzed for the first time, using an in silico study considering 2D-QSAR modeling, and molecular docking studies, and validated by molecular dynamics and ADMET properties. The results of multilinear regression (MLR) and artificial neural networks (ANN) statistical analysis reveal a good correlation between pIC50 activity and the seven (7) descriptors. The developed models were highly significant with cross-validation, the Y-randomization test and their applicability range. In addition, all considered data sets show that the AC30 compound, exhibits the best binding affinity (docking score = −212.074 kcal/mol and H-bonding energy = −15.879 kcal/mol). Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations were performed at 500 ns, confirming the stability of the studied complexes under physiological conditions and validating the molecular docking results. Five selected actinonin derivatives (AC1, AC8, AC15, AC18 and AC30), exhibiting best docking score, were rationalized as potential leads for HsPDF inhibition, in well agreement with experimental outcomes. Furthermore, based on the in silico study, new six molecules (AC32, AC33, AC34, AC35, AC36 and AC37) were suggested as HsPDF inhibition candidates, which would be combined with in-vitro and in-vivo studies to perspective validation of their anticancer activity. Indeed, the ADMET predictions indicate that these six new ligands have demonstrated a fairly good drug-likeness profile.

description: In the framework of the expected association between gamma-ray bursts and gravitational waves, we present results of an analysis aimed to search for a burst of gravitational waves in coincidence with gamma-ray burst 050915a. This was a long duration gamma-ray burst detected by Swift during September 2005, when the Virgo gravitational wave detector was engaged in a commissioning run during which the best sensitivity attained in 2005 was exhibited. This offered the opportunity for Virgo's first search for a gravitational wave signal in coincidence with a gamma-ray burst. The result of our study is a set of strain amplitude upper-limits, based on the loudest event approach, for different but quite general types of burst signal waveforms. The best upper-limit strain amplitudes we obtain are h_{rss}=O(10^{-20})Hz^{-1/2} around 200-1500 Hz. These upper-limits allow us to evaluate the level up to which Virgo, when reaching nominal sensitivity, will be able to constrain the gravitational wave output associated with a long burst. Moreover, the analysis here presented plays the role of a prototype, crucial in defining a methodology for gamma-ray burst triggered searches with Virgo and opening the way for future joint analyses with LIGO.

Sculpting the sub-Saturn Occurrence Rate via Atmospheric Mass Loss

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The sub-Saturn ($\sim$4--8$R_{\oplus}$) occurrence rate rises with orbital period out to at least $\sim$300 days. In this work we adopt and test the hypothesis that the decrease in their occurrence towards the star is a result of atmospheric mass loss, which can transform sub-Saturns into sub-Neptunes ($\lesssim$4$R_{\oplus}$) more efficiently at shorter periods. We show that under the mass loss hypothesis, the sub-Saturn occurrence rate can be leveraged to infer their underlying core mass function, and by extension that of gas giants. We determine that lognormal core mass functions peaked near $\sim$10--20$M_{\oplus}$ are compatible with the sub-Saturn period distribution, the distribution of observationally-inferred sub-Saturn cores, and gas accretion theories. Our theory predicts that close-in sub-Saturns should be $\sim$50\% less common and $\sim$30\% more massive around rapidly rotating stars; this should be directly testable for stars younger than $\lesssim$500 Myr. We also predict that the sub-Jovian desert becomes less pronounced and opens up at smaller orbital periods around M stars compared to solar-type stars ($\sim$0.7 days vs.~$\sim$3 days). We demonstrate that exceptionally low-density sub-Saturns, "Super-Puffs", can survive intense hydrodynamic escape to the present day if they are born with even larger atmospheres than they currently harbor; in this picture, Kepler 223 d began with an envelope $\sim$1.5$\times$ the mass of its core and is currently losing its envelope at a rate $\sim$2$\times 10^{-3}M_{\oplus}~\mathrm{Myr}^{-1}$. If the predictions from our theory are confirmed by observations, the core mass function we predict can also serve to constrain core formation theories of gas-rich planets.

description: WIF1 (Wnt inhibitory factor 1) is a potent tumour suppressor gene which is epigenetically silenced in numerous malignancies. The associations of WIF1 protein with the Wnt pathway molecules have not been fully explored, despite their involvement in the downregulation of several malignancies. In the present study, a computational approach encompassing the expression, gene ontology analysis and pathway analysis is employed to obtain an insight into the role of the WIF1 protein. Moreover, the interaction of the WIF1 domain with the Wnt pathway molecules was carried out to ascertain the tumour-suppressive role of the domain, along with the determination of their plausible interactions. Initially, the protein-protein interaction network analysis endowed us with the Wnt ligands (such as Wnt1, Wnt3a, Wnt4, Wnt5a, Wnt8a and Wnt9a), along with the Frizzled receptors (Fzd1 and Fzd2) and the low-density lipoprotein complex (Lrp5/6) as the foremost interactors of the protein. Further, the expression analysis of the aforementioned genes and proteins was determined using The Cancer Genome Atlas to comprehend the significance of the signalling molecules in the major cancer subtypes. Moreover, the associations of the aforementioned macromolecular entities with the WIF1 domain were explored using the molecular docking studies, whereas the dynamics and stability of the assemblage were investigated using 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations. Therefore, providing us insights into the plausible roles of WIF1 in inhibiting the Wnt pathways in various malignancies. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

Planning strategy for public art, city of Vancouver
Creators: name: Duncan, Alan Slater
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This corporate strategy for public art proposes a comprehensive yet incremental process to address the most pressing concerns now facing the City of Vancouver in planning for public art. The strategy, including its implementation, is deliberately incremental. The need for flexibility in planning for public art emerged from discussions with public artists, arts administrators and consultants; interviews with authors of recent exemplary public art plans; review of literature and other documentation, including the popular culture; and my personal understanding of public art from the perspective of public art producer, planner and urban designer. The proposals are informed by a review of the evolution of public art, planning and planning for public art. They are proposed within a historical context of public art planning in Vancouver and build upon the inventory and analysis of processes already in place within the civic administration. The strategy recommends upgrading the existing Art in Public Places Subcommittee into a Public Art Commission and the creation of three new advisory bodies, all with strong professional staff support, to ensure broader participation in public art while increasing the breadth of expertise to deal with aesthetic judgements, commemoration, urban design and other public realm issues in Vancouver. It also recommends restructuring the civic administration by dissolving the Board of Parks and Recreation; consolidating the urban realm design functions of the Board of Parks and Recreation, the Engineering Department and the Planning Department into a holistic urban design group; consolidating cultural planning and development functions associated with Community Centres into the Social Planning Department; and creating a new Department of Parks and Recreation responsible primarily for park maintenance and recreation functions. The proposed definition of public art is all-inclusive to encourage rather than limit or inhibit the most creative, innovative possibilities whether permanent or temporary, physical or ephemeral. The entire process is proposed to be open to wide community participation. It welcomes grass-roots initiatives and promotes project development and management by existing Vancouver organisations involved in the production of public art. The inherent flexibility of this incremental strategy allows responsiveness to the community, civic aspirations, and the evolving nature of our understanding of public art. It facilitates the development of a common and evolving vision in Vancouver for a more humane city through the media of public art. By planning through the use of art to make places public, it begins to allow us to recapture the public essence of urban living.

description: Physical-layer based key generation schemes exploit the channel reciprocity for secret key extraction, which can achieve information-theoretic secrecy against eavesdroppers. Such methods, although practical, have been shown to be vulnerable against man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, where an active adversary, Mallory, can influence and infer part of the secret key generated between Alice and Bob by injecting her own packet upon observing highly correlated channel/RSS measurements from Alice and Bob. As all the channels remain stable within the channel coherence time, Mallory's injected packets cause Alice and Bob to measure similar RSS, which allows Mallory to successfully predict the derived key bits. To defend against such a MitM attack, we propose to utilize a reconfigurable antenna at one of the legitimate transceivers to proactively randomize the channel state across different channel probing rounds. The randomization of the antenna mode at every probing round breaks the temporal correlation of the channels from the adversary to the legitimate devices, while preserving the reciprocity of the channel between the latter. This prevents key injection from the adversary without affecting Alice and Bob's ability to measure common randomness. We theoretically analyze the security of the protocol and conduct extensive simulations and real-world experiments to evaluate its performance. Our results show that our approach eliminates the advantage of an active MitM attack by driving down the probability of successfully guessing bits of the secret key to a random guess.

description: The 24 M Jupiter mass brown dwarf 2MASS1207-3932 has for some time been known to show clear signs of classical T Tauri-like accretion. Through analysis of its oxygen forbidden emission we have discovered that it is driving a bipolar outflow. Blue and red-shifted components to the [OI] 6300 forbidden emission line are seen at velocities of - 8 km/s and +4 km/s. Spectro-astrometry recovers the position of both components relative to the BD, at ~ 0.08 arcseconds(in opposing directions). A position velocity diagram of the line region supports the spectro-astrometric results. The H-alpha and HeI 6678 lines were also analysed. These line regions are not offset with respect to the continuum ruling out the presence of spectro-astrometric artifacts and underlining the validity of the [OI] 6300 results. The low radial velocity of the outflow, and relatively large offsets, are consistent with 2MASS1207-3932 having a near edge-on disk, as proposed by Scholz et al. 2MASS1207-3932 is now the smallest mass galactic object known to drive an outflow. The age of the TW Hydrae Association (~ 8 Myr) also makes this one of the oldest objects with a resolved jet. This discovery not only highlights the robustness of the outflow mechanism over an enormous range of masses but also suggests that it may even be feasible for young giant planets with accretion disks to drive outflows.

Determination of perturbative QCD coupling from ALEPH $τ$ decay data using pinched Borel-Laplace and Finite Energy Sum Rules

description: We present a determination of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) coupling using the V+A channel ALEPH $τ$-decay data. The determination involves the double-pinched Borel-Laplace Sum Rules and Finite Energy Sum Rules. The theoretical basis is the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of the V+A channel Adler function in which the higher order terms of the leading-twist part originate from a model based on the known structure of the leading renormalons of this quantity. The applied evaluation methods are contour-improved perturbation theory (CIPT), fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT), and Principal Value of the Borel resummation (PV). All the methods involve truncations in the order of the coupling. In contrast to the truncated CIPT method, the truncated FOPT and PV methods account correctly for the suppression of various renormalon contributions of the Adler function in the mentioned sum rules. The extracted value of the ${\overline {\rm MS}}$ coupling is $α_s(m_τ^2) = 0.3116 \pm 0.0073$ [$α_s(M_Z^2)=0.1176 \pm 0.0010$] for the average of the FOPT and PV methods, which we regard as our main result. On the other hand, if we include in the average also the CIPT method, the resulting values are significantly higher, $α_s(m_τ^2) = 0.3194 \pm 0.0167$ [$α_s(M_Z^2)=0.1186 \pm 0.0021$].

description: Fully correlated study of $_{ΛΛ} ^6$He hypernucleus has been performed with two- and three- baryon potentials. For the S=-2 sector, various simulations of Nijmegen $ΛΛ$ potential models have been used. We investigate the role of every strength of the strange sector potentials on the energy breakdown and present a crystal clear understanding of their interplay. Consistency between $_Λ^5$He and $_{ΛΛ}^6$He depends on the $ΛN$ space-exchange strength only. Investigation limits the strength of simulated Nijmegen $ΛΛ$ potential models. The study is a step forward to determine all the strengths, to reslove A=5 anomaly and to search for $_{ΛΛ}^4$H in an authentic way.

description: The charge state of an ion provides a simplified electronic picture of the bonding in compounds, and heuristically explains the basic electronic structure of a system. Despite its usefulness, the physical and chemical definition of a charge state is not a trivial one, and the essential idea of electron transfer is found to be not a realistic explanation. Here, we study the real-space charge distribution of a cobalt ion in its various charge and spin states, and examine the relation between the formal charge/spin states and the static charge distribution. Taking the prototypical cobalt oxides, La/SrCoO$_3$, and bulk Co metal, we confirm that no prominent static charge transfer exists for different charge states. However, we show that small variations exist in the integrated charges for different charge states, and these are compared to the various spin state cases.

description: Quantifying entanglement properties of mixed states in quantum field theory via entanglement of purification and reflected entropy is a new and challenging subject. In this work, we study both quantities for two spherical subregions far away from each other in the vacuum of a conformal field theory in any number of dimensions. Using lattice techniques, we find an elementary proof that the decay of both the entanglement of purification and reflected entropy is enhanced with respect to the mutual information behavior by a logarithm of the distance between the subregions. In the case of the Ising spin chain at criticality and the related free fermion conformal field theory, we compute also the overall coefficients numerically for the both quantities of interest.

prior data, these strains were host specific, with only one strain associated with members of
the red oak family, one strain associated with American elm, one strain associated with
American sycamore, and two strains associated with mulberry. Strains found for asymptomatic
foliage were the same as strains from the symptomatic foliage on individual trees.
Cross transmission of the strains was not observed at sites with multiple species of infected
trees within an approx. 25 m radius of one another. X. fastidiosa strain specificity observed
for each genus of tree suggests a highly specialized host-pathogen relationship.

description: People spend large parts of their everyday life using their smartphones. Despite various advantages of the smartphone for daily life, problematic forms of smartphone use exist that are related to negative psychological and physiological consequences. To reduce problematic smartphone use, existing interventions are oftentimes app-based and include components that help users to monitor and restrict their smartphone use by setting timers and blockers. These kinds of digital detox interventions, however, fail to exploit psychological resources, such as through promoting self-efficacious and goal-directed smartphone use. The aim of this study is to evaluate the theory-based smartphone app “Not Less But Better” that was developed to make people aware of psychological processes while using the smartphone and to support them in using their smartphone in accordance with their goals and values.

description: In the present paper, we have investigated the motion of charged particles together with magnetic dipoles to determine how well the spacetime deviation parameter $ε$ and external uniform magnetic field can mimic the spin of a rotating Kerr black hole. Investigation of charged particle motion has shown that the deviation parameter $ε$ in the absence of external magnetic fields can mimic the rotation parameter of Kerr spacetime up to $a/M \approx0.5$. The combination of external magnetic field and deviation parameter can do even a better job mimicking the rotation parameter up to $a/M\simeq0.93$, which corresponds to the rapidly rotating case. Study of the dynamics of magnetic dipoles around quasi-Schwarzschild black holes in the external magnetic field has shown that there are degeneracy values of ISCO radius of test particles at $ε_{cr}>ε\geq 0.35$ which may lead to two different values of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) radius. When the deviation parameter is in the range of $ε\in (-1,\ 1)$, it can mimic the spin of a rotating Kerr black hole in the range $a/M \in (0.0537, \ 0.3952)$ for magnetic dipoles with values of magnetic coupling parameter $β\in [-0.25,\ 0.25]$ in corotating orbits.

description: Threads as considered in basic thread algebra are primarily looked upon as behaviours exhibited by sequential programs on execution. It is a fact of life that sequential programs are often fragmented. Consequently, fragmented program behaviours are frequently found. In this paper, we consider this phenomenon. We extend basic thread algebra with the barest mechanism for sequencing of threads that are taken for fragments. This mechanism, called poly-threading, supports both autonomous and non-autonomous thread selection in sequencing. We relate the resulting theory to the algebraic theory of processes known as ACP and use it to describe analytic execution architectures suited for fragmented programs. We also consider the case where the steps of fragmented program behaviours are interleaved in the ways of non-distributed and distributed multi-threading.

description: Magnetic fields provide an important probe of the thermal, material, and structural history of planetary and sub-planetary bodies. Core dynamos are a potential source of magnetic fields for differentiated bodies, but evidence of magnetization in undifferentiated bodies requires a different mechanism. Here we study the amplified field provided by the stellar wind to an initially unmagnetized body using analytic theory and numerical simulations, employing the resistive MHD AstroBEAR adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) multiphysics code. We obtain a broadly applicable scaling relation for the peak magnetization achieved once a wind advects, piles-up, and drapes a body with magnetic field, reaching a quasi-steady state. We find that the dayside magnetic field for a sufficiently conductive body saturates when it balances the sum of incoming solar wind ram, magnetic, and thermal pressures. Stronger amplification results from pileup by denser and faster winds. Careful quantification of numerical diffusivity is required for accurately interpreting the peak magnetic field strength from simulations, and corroborating with theory. As specifically applied to the Solar System, we find that early solar wind-induced field amplification is a viable source of magnetization for observed paleointensities in meteorites from some undifferentiated bodies. This mechanism may also be applicable to other Solar System bodies, including metal-rich bodies to be visited in future space missions such as the asteroid (16) Psyche.

Beyond the bubble catastrophe of Type Ia supernovae: Pulsating Reverse Detonation models

description: We describe a mechanism by which a failed deflagration of a Chandrasekhar-mass carbon-oxygen white dwarf can turn into a successful thermonuclear supernova explosion, without invoking an ad hoc high-density deflagration-detonation transition. Following a pulsating phase, an accretion shock develops above a core of 1 M_sun composed of carbon and oxygen, inducing a converging detonation. A three-dimensional simulation of the explosion produced a kinetic energy of 1.05E51 ergs and 0.70 M_sun of 56Ni, ejecting scarcely 0.01 M_sun of C-O moving at low velocities. The mechanism works under quite general conditions and is flexible enough to account for the diversity of normal Type Ia supernovae. In given conditions the detonation might not occur, which would reflect in peculiar signatures in the gamma and UV-wavelengths

The relationship between level of nursing education and intellectual and ethical development
Creators: name: Dams, Zoe Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Pursuit of university education for nurses has been a controversial and poorly understood ideal. It has been difficult to clearly demonstrate and articulate the benefits of higher education for nurses and nursing. In this research the mission of undergraduate education in general, and the Canadian Nurses Association position paper on baccalaureate education served as the basis of inquiry into aspects of university education for nurses and nursing. From these sources and review of the literature it was ascertained that a primary value of education is seen as helping individuals develop intellectual and ethical maturity which allows them to make judgments and commitments in a relativistic world. This theorectical orientation was operationalized through Perry's theory of intellectual and ethical development (1970). The Measure of Epistemological Reflection (MER), a tool based on this theory, was developed to measure a person's level of intellectual and ethical maturity. In this study the MER was administered to diploma and baccalaureate nursing graduates to determine if this construct could be used to differentiate the effects of the two levels of education. The findings indicated that there was no difference between diploma and baccalaureate groups of nurses on their scores on the MER. There was no correlation between scores on the MER and age or experience. There was, however, a significant difference between a group of nurses who participated in university education in addition to their basic nursing program, and a group who had no other university credit outside of their basic nursing program. These findings, and their implications for nursing practice, education, and research are discussed.

description: Advances in antiaging drug/lead discovery in animal models constitute a large body of literature on novel senotherapeutics and geroprotectives. However, with little direct evidence or mechanism of action in humans—these drugs are utilized as nutraceuticals or repurposed supplements without proper testing directions, appropriate biomarkers, or consistent in-vivo models. In this study, we take previously identified drug candidates that have significant evidence of prolonging lifespan and promoting healthy aging in model organisms, and simulate them in human metabolic interactome networks. Screening for drug-likeness, toxicity, and KEGG network correlation scores, we generated a library of 285 safe and bioavailable compounds. We interrogated this library to present computational modeling-derived estimations of a tripartite interaction map of animal geroprotective compounds in the human molecular interactome extracted from longevity, senescence, and dietary restriction-associated genes. Our findings reflect previous studies in aging-associated metabolic disorders, and predict 25 best-connected drug interactors including Resveratrol, EGCG, Metformin, Trichostatin A, Caffeic Acid and Quercetin as direct modulators of lifespan and healthspan-associated pathways. We further clustered these compounds and the functionally enriched subnetworks therewith to identify longevity-exclusive, senescence-exclusive, pseudo-omniregulators and omniregulators within the set of interactome hub genes. Additionally, serum markers for drug-interactions, and interactions with potentially geroprotective gut microbial species distinguish the current study and present a holistic depiction of optimum gut microbial alteration by candidate drugs. These findings provide a systems level model of animal life-extending therapeutics in human systems, and act as precursors for expediting the ongoing global effort to find effective antiaging pharmacological interventions.

description: Exciting electrons in solids with intense light pulses offers the possibility of generating new states of matter through nonthermal means and controlling their macroscopic properties on femto- to picosecond timescales. One way to manipulate a solid is by altering its lattice structure, which often underlies the electronic, magnetic and other phases. Here, we review how structures of solids are affected by photoexcitation and how their ultrafast dynamics are captured with time-resolved electron diffraction and microscopy. Specifically, we survey how a strong light pulse has been used to tailor the nonequilibrium characteristics to yield on-demand properties in various material classes. In the existing literature, four main routes have been exploited to control material structures: (i) phase competition, (ii) electronic correlations, (iii) excitation of coherent modes, and (iv) defect generation. In this review, we discuss experiments relevant to all four schemes and finish by speculating about future directions.
