description: Out-of-pocket healthcare payments can impoverish families and drive a vicious cycle of poverty and disease. Using a mixed-methods approach, we investigated the economic burden for households living with chronic diseases in Malaysia. We found that despite having a Universal Health Coverage-based healthcare system, household with diabetes experienced catastrophic healthcare spending and faced impoverishment. Non-poor households were observed to incur higher catastrophic spending, driven by tendencies to seek private care due to inadequacies of public healthcare. Our study may provide insights to design healthcare financing systems with enhanced financial risk and social protection to effectively manage chronic diseases in the long-term.

description: Objectives: We aimed to describe differences in disease characteristics and outcomes in Takayasu arteritis (TA) patients with different ethnic backgrounds. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study consisting of TA patients seen at specialty vasculitis clinics from five academic hospitals across Canada. Disease features, treatments and outcomes were compared between Caucasian and non-Caucasian patients. Results: The cohort included 113 patients, of which 51 were Caucasian. Over 50% of the non-Caucasian patients were Asian. Compared to non-Caucasians, Caucasian patients had higher CRP and ESR at diagnosis (33.6mg/l versus 9.4mg/l, p=0.033; and 51mm/h versus 24mm/h, p=0.047; respectively), and were less likely to have baseline cardiovascular comorbidities including dyslipidemia (11.8% versus 29%, p=0.037). There were no significant differences between ethnicity groups for other disease characteristics or outcomes. Conclusion: Ethnicity did not appear to play a significant role in determining disease characteristics and outcomes when comparing TA patients from various ethnic backgrounds living in the same country.

description: Female sex workers in low- and middle-income countries are at high risk of unintended pregnancy, but few programs address this issue. In addition, female sex workers rely heavily on mobile phones, making this a feasible way to reach them with health information. An SMS program called WHISPER was developed with female sex workers in Mombasa, Kenya, to promote contraceptive use, and related health behaviours. WHISPER was tested in a trial in Mombasa, and found to improve some aspects of contraceptive knowledge and behaviour, but not unintended pregnancy rates. This research has implications for future health initiatives for female sex workers.

description: This thesis describes the impact of video narratives on self-efficacy related to medication-taking behaviour of post-stroke patients. The video narratives incorporated the concepts of Health Belief theory in a motivational story format, delivered by actual patient and medical professional, were able to motivate and trigger patients’ proactivity towards enhanced self-efficacy in understanding and taking medication, positive perceptions on illness and treatment, and improve blood pressure control and monitoring. This strategy was readily accepted by post-stroke patients of various cultural backgrounds in Malaysia. The sustainability of this translational research of theory-to-practice highlights the necessity of future collaborations in tertiary healthcare settings.

description: Background: ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) with renal involvement is an important cause of ESKD. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter, cohort study reports features and outcome of 464 AAV patients with kidney involvement isolated from the cohort of 995 AAV patients diagnosed between 1990 and 2021 in 11 Polish reference centers. Results: Diagnosis included granulomatosis with polyangitis (GPA), 336 patients (73%) and microscopic polyangiitis, 128 patients (27%). Median age at presentation was 52 years and 63 years, respectively (p< 0.001), Men in this cohort constituted 56% and 49%, respectively (p< 0.001). Median maximum creatinine concentration at presentation was 2 mg/dL and 1.23 mg/dl, respectively (p = 0.028). Median maximum CRP level at presentation was 65 mg/dl and 38 mg/dl respectively (P = 0.024). ANCA was negative in 3% of the patients. Double positity was noted in 2%. The duration of follow up was 58 months and 37 months, respectively (p< 0.001). Cumulative patient’s survival at 5 years was 90 % and 78%, respectively (p< 0.001). In the multivariable Cox model, mortality was associated with the diagnosis of MPA, age, cardiopulmonary complications, CRP > 25mg/dl, active smoking (p< 0.001). Creatinine concentration at diagnosis was not associated with increased mortality. Plasmapheresis did not affect 5 year survival in both groups. MPA patients more frequently required haemodialysis. Cumulative 5-year patient’s survival on dialysis was similar in both groups. Conclusion: The significant risk factors for greater mortality in AAV with renal involvement were active smoking, CRP > 25 mg/dl at presentation, MPA diagnosis, age, and cardiopulmonary complication. The maximal median creatinine concentration, as well as plasmapheresis did not affect survival. Significant morbidity and mortality are still associated with the diagnosis of AAV. Disclosures: None

description: Non structural protein 3 (NS3) helicase from hepatitis C virus is an enzyme that unwinds and translocates along nucleic acids with an ATP-dependent mechanism and has a key role in the replication of the viral RNA. An inchworm-like mechanism for translocation has been proposed based on crystal structures and single molecule experiments. We here perform atomistic molecular dynamics in explicit solvent on the microsecond time scale of the available experimental structures. We also construct and simulate putative intermediates for the translocation process, and we perform non-equilibrium targeted simulations to estimate their relative stability. For each of the simulated structures we carefully characterize the available conformational space, the ligand binding pocket, and the RNA binding cleft. The analysis of the hydrogen bond network and of the non-equilibrium trajectories indicates an ATP-dependent stabilization of one of the protein conformers. Additionally, enthalpy calculations suggest that entropic effects might be crucial for the stabilization of the experimentally observed structures.

description: We investigate the long time steady-state dissolution of CO$_{2}$ in a deep saline aqquifer in the presence of a background hydrological flow. In steady-state, the distribution of CO$_2$ in the groundwater upstream of the aquifer involves a balance between three competing effects: (i) the buoyancy-driven flow of CO$_2$ saturated water; (ii) the diffusion of CO$_2$ from saturated to under-saturated water; and (iii) the advection associated with the oncoming background flow. This leads to three limiting regimes. In the limit of very slow diffusion, a nearly static intrusion of dense fluid may extend a finite distance upstream, balanced by the pressure gradient associated with the oncoming background flow. In the limit of fast diffusion relative to the flow, a gradient zone may become established in which the along aquifer diffusive flux balances the advection associated with the background flow. However, if the buoyancy-driven flow speed exceeds the background hydrological flow speed, then a third, intermediate regime may become established. In this regime, a convective recirculation develops upstream of the anticline involving the vertical diffusion of CO$_2$ from an upstream propagating flow of dense CO$_2$ saturated water into the downstream propagating flow of CO$_2$ unsaturated water. For each limiting case, we find analytical solutions for the distribution of CO$_2$ upstream of the anticline, and test our analysis with full numerical simulations. A key result is that, although there may be very different controls on the distribution and extent of CO$_2$ bearing water upstream of the anticline, in each case the dissolution rate is given by the product of the background volume flux and the difference in concentration between the CO$_2$ saturated water and the original aquifer water upstream.

title: An Umbrella Review and Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy of Autism Spectrum Disorder Screening Tools Using Missing Data Recovery and Epidemiological Adjustment
Creators: name: Starnes, Jon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description:
INTRODUCTION: Early identification and early childhood intervention are known to improve cognitive, social, and adaptive functioning and improve the quality of life of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. Since early intervention and treatment success depends on early identification, early childhood screening with high-quality screening tools is critical. Recovering missing data and adjusting the data for epidemiologically reported prevalence can provide more accurate estimates of missed cases when studies report results without follow-up data to verify missed cases.


AIM: The purpose of this study was to conduct an umbrella review and meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy (MADA) of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) screening tools to evaluate the effect of three missing data and prevalence adjustment methods on pooled diagnostic accuracy metrics.


METHODS: This study selected a final sample size of 28 previously reviewed population-level studies for inclusion that focused on children ages 6 to 72 months (total screened = 205,934). The three data adjustments included: recovering missing or unreported data using standard diagnostic accuracy formulas; epidemiologically adjusting the recovered data using reported ASD prevalence by year and nation of origin; epidemiologically adjusting the recovered data using CDC yearly reported ASD prevalence. Using a bivariate random effects Reitsma model, the study calculated pooled sensitivity, specificity, and a pooled diagnostic odds ratio for each data adjustment approach. The bivariate analysis also applied metaregression models to simultaneously compare the pooled sensitivity and false positive rate for each data adjustment.


RESULTS: Sensitivity systematically decreased for each data source in both the univariate and bivariate analysis. Recovering missing data increased sensitivity in the univariate and bivariate analysis (Se = 0.732 and Se = 0.759, respectively). Univariate sensitivity decreased after the national (Se = 0.628) and CDC prevalence (.422) adjustments. Sensitivity in the bivariate analysis decreased after the national (Se = .652) and CDC prevalence (Se = .384) adjustments. The current results suggest that recovering missing data and adjusting for national prevalence may be an appropriate data adjustment method to obtain unbiased assessments of diagnostic accuracy and help detect screening tools weaker than those promoted from cross-sectional studies.

description: There is a knowledge gap about menopause-related health literacy among migrant women. This research explored migrant women’s perceptions of menopause, menopause-related health literacy and experiences with menopause-related health care. 23 women from Vietnam and Horn of Africa nations were interviewed and 139 health practitioners completed a survey. Limited ability to speak English and cultural beliefs influenced health literacy in migrant women. Health practitioners believed that limited information in community languages and short consultations made it difficult to provide menopause-related care to migrant women. The findings inform practice and policies and provide strategies addressing health literacy in primary health care settings.
Conditions for water ice lines and Mars-mass exomoons around accreting super-Jovian planets at 1 - 20 AU from Sun-like stars

description: Exomoon detections might be feasible with NASA's Kepler or ESA's upcoming PLATO mission or the ground-based E-ELT. To use observational resources most efficiently we need to know where the largest, most easily detected moons can form. We explore the possibility of large exomoons by following the movement of water (H2O) ice lines in the accretion disks around young super-Jovian planets. We want to know how different heating sources in those disks affect the H2O ice lines. We simulate 2D rotationally symmetric accretion disks in hydrostatic equilibrium around super-Jovian exoplanets. The energy terms in our semi-analytical model -- (1) viscous heating, (2) planetary illumination, (3) accretional heating, and (4) stellar illumination -- are fed by precomputed planet evolution tracks. We consider planets accreting 1 to 12 Jupiter masses at distances between 1 and 20 AU to a Sun-like star. Accretion disks around Jupiter-mass planets closer than ~4.5 AU to Sun-like stars do not feature H2O ice lines, but the most massive super-Jovians can form icy satellites as close as ~3 AU to Sun-like stars. Super-Jovian planets forming beyond ~5 AU can host Mars-mass moons. We study a broad range of disk parameters for planets at 5.2 AU and find that the H2O ice lines are universally between ~15 and 30 Jupiter radii when the last generation of moons is forming. If the abundant population of super-Jovian planets at ~1 AU formed in situ, then they should lack giant icy moons because their disks did not host H2O ice in the final stages of accretion. In the more likely case that these planets migrated to their current locations from beyond a few AU, they might be orbited by large, H2O-rich moons. In this case, Mars-mass ocean moons might be common in the stellar habitable zones. Future exomoon searches can provide powerful constraints on the formation and migration history of giant exoplanets.

description: Social inclusion is an important yet under-researched contributor to health and wellbeing. Young adults with serious mental illness (SMI) are thought to be socially excluded. This has not been rigorously assessed due to a lack of psychometric tools to measure social inclusion in this population. This research program demonstrated the reliability and validity of a new tool (the Filia Social Inclusion Measure) in samples of young adults both with and without SMI. In comparing these groups, it also produced novel insights into the social exclusion of young adults with SMI in domains of independent living and reciprocity in social relationships.

description: We use non-perturbative linked-cluster expansions to determine the ground-state energy per site of the spin-one Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice. To this end, a parameter is introduced allowing to interpolate between a fully trimerized state and the isotropic model. The ground-state energy per site of the full graph decomposition up to graphs of six triangles (18 spins) displays a complex behaviour as a function of this parameter close to the isotropic model which we attribute to divergencies of partial series in the graph expansion of quasi-1d unfrustrated chain graphs. More concretely, these divergencies can be traced back to a quantum critical point of the one-dimensional unfrustrated chain of coupled triangles. Interestingly, the reorganization of the non-perturbative linked-cluster expansion in terms of clusters with enhanced symmetry yields a ground-state energy per site of the isotropic two-dimensional model being in quantitative agreement with other numerical approaches in favor of a spontaneous trimerization of the system. Our findings are of general importance for any non-perturbative linked-cluster expansion on geometrically frustrated systems.

description: Therapeutic treatments for schizophrenia do not alleviate symptoms for all patients and efficacy is limited by common, often severe, side-effects. Genetic studies of disease can identify novel drug targets, and drugs for which the mechanism has direct genetic support have increased likelihood of clinical success. Large-scale genetic studies of schizophrenia have increased the number of genes and gene sets associated with risk. We aimed to examine the overlap between schizophrenia risk loci and gene targets of a comprehensive set of medications to potentially inform and improve treatment of schizophrenia.

title: Identifying Gaps in Care for Early Intervention Providers working with Deaf/ Hard of  Hearing (D/HH)+ Children and Recommendations for Systemic Improvements
Creators: name: Ormond, Kristina
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
The Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) system, which was originally developed by the Joint Commission on Infant Hearing and was created to provide a screening through intervention support network for children with congenital hearing loss and auditory disorders, to support their communication development, quality of life and growth milestones. The EHDI system is a web of healthcare providers and community organizations that includes a variety of peer-based and community-based family support to help prevent missed diagnoses, gaps in care. It also offers emotional resources and access support to families of children with hearing loss. The goal of this system is to enable children to meet their developmental milestones at a similar age and to a similar degree as their hearing peers. This research seeks to understand family experiences navigating the early intervention system for children who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HH) with an additional suspected or confirmed diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), commonly referred to as D/HH+. The goal of this study is to understand if, and where gaps may exist in the early intervention system, a critically important early care setting for this population. Responses from this qualitative survey created for this study will be compared to previous evidence collected as part of the Gallaudet Annual Survey of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children and Youth, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Childrens Health Survey. The results from the study will be used to create recommendations to improve clinical education design continuing education for healthcare professionals, and provide targeted recommendations for systemic improvements to strengthen provider and community network linkages. The outcome of these educational programs will be to improve the health, development, and care outcomes for D/HH+ children and potentially others with complex conditions in the future.

description: We revisit the applications of integral geometry in AdS$_3$ and argue that the metric of the kinematic space can be realized as the entanglement contour, which is defined as the additive entanglement density. From the renormalization of the entanglement contour, we can holographically understand the operations of disentangler and isometry in multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz. Furthermore, a renormalization group equation of the long-distance entanglement contour is then derived. We then generalize this integral geometric construction to higher dimensions and in particular demonstrate how it works in bulk space of homogeneity and isotropy.

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy of the liver and the second leading cause of cancer related mortality globally. This is due to the majority of patients presenting at a disease stage not amenable to curative treatments. Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) is the most common treatment for patients with unresectable HCC, however the median survival ranges from 20 to 45 months. Through collaboration with six large Australian tertiary centres and international co-authors this thesis undertakes a comprehensive evaluation of the prognostic factors associated with survival in patients with unresectable HCC undergoing treatment with TACE.
Observation of quantum Hawking radiation and its entanglement in an analogue black hole

description: We observe spontaneous Hawking radiation, stimulated by quantum vacuum fluctuations, emanating from an analogue black hole in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. Correlations are observed between the Hawking particles outside the black hole and the partner particles inside. These correlations indicate an approximately thermal distribution of Hawking radiation. We find that the high energy pairs are entangled, while the low energy pairs are not, within the reasonable assumption that excitations with different frequencies are not correlated. The entanglement verifies the quantum nature of the Hawking radiation. The results are consistent with a driven oscillation experiment and a numerical simulation.

description: The perinatal period is a time of high risk for onset of depressive disorders and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, including maternal suicide. Perinatal depression comprises a heterogeneous group of clinical subtypes, and further refinement is needed to improve treatment outcomes. We sought to empirically identify and describe clinically relevant phenotypic subtypes of perinatal depression, and further characterise subtypes by time of symptom onset within pregnancy and three post-partum periods.

description: The nonlinear optical Galton board (NLOGB), a quantum walk like (but nonlinear) discrete time quantum automaton, is shown to admit a complex evolution leading to long time thermalized states. The continuous limit of the Galton Board is derived and shown to be a nonlinear Dirac equation (NLDE). The (Galerkin truncated) NLDE evolution is shown to thermalize toward states qualitatively similar to those of the NLOGB. The NLDE conserved quantities are derived and used to construct a stochastic differential equation converging to grand canonical distributions that are shown to reproduce the (micro canonical) NLDE thermalized statistics. Both the NLOGB and the Galerkin-truncated NLDE are thus demonstrated to exhibit spontaneous thermalization.

description: Developmental dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by reading difficulties. However, there is considerable variability in the types of reading difficulties that children with DD display and evidence that attentional deficits that may be contributing to poor reading ability. This research compared children with reading difficulties (dyslexia) to both age and reading-matched controls on measures examining attention behaviourally, computationally and electrophysiologically. Results revealed that some attentional deficits were unique to dyslexia and that they varied as a function of reading profile. This research can help identify who is likely to present with attentional deficits and inform more targeted treatment.
Orbital dynamics in the planar Saturn-Titan system

description: We use the planar circular restricted three-body problem in order to numerically investigate the orbital dynamics of orbits of a spacecraft, or a comet, or an asteroid in the Saturn-Titan system in a scattering region around the Titan. The orbits can escape through the necks around the Lagrangian points $L_1$ and $L_2$ or collide with the surface of the Titan. We explore all the four possible Hill's regions depending on the value of the Jacobi constant. We conduct a thorough numerical analysis on the phase space mixing by classifying initial conditions of orbits and distinguishing between three types of motion: (i) bounded, (ii) escaping and (iii) collisional. In particular, we locate the different basins and we relate them with the corresponding spatial distributions of the escape and crash times. Our results reveal the high complexity of this planetary system. Furthermore, the numerical analysis shows a strong dependence of the properties of the considered basins with the total orbital energy, with a remarkable presence of fractal basin boundaries along all the regimes. We hope our contribution to be useful in both space mission design and study of planetary systems.

description: The practice to mark blockstones with etched signs by craftsmen is a well known method they used to highlight their work, in order to be paid (piecerates marks) or to identify the location of the block (position marks). The Glyptography assists the studies above the craftsmen related to their way to be associated. The Saida sea-castle of Qala’at al-Bahr was erected during the Crusade period, by a group of pilgrim builders from France, England and Spain. The structures of the castle are plenty of blockstone marks, most of these are piecerates marks, with recurring signs. This case-study, also considering the particular construction techniques of bugnato style, could be a reference point for the Crusade archaeology. The quality of the great number of marks confirms the thesis above the nature of land occupation by crusaders. It took place by not only monks, soldiers or merchants, but also by groups of builders, which stabilized at least for the last of construction.

Approcci metodologici e indicazioni progettuali per il restauro del Palazzo del Doge ad Antivari, Montenegro.

description: The restoration project of an old building requires an approach based on the capacity of the designer to build a computational model that interprets its constructive history. The Doge’s Palace in Antivari a millenary citadel of Montenegro, results from several construction phases that cannot be properly explained only through the application of mechanics principles. The integrated survey and elevation’s stratigraphic study, important to the archaeologist and the architect for the reconstruction of the building’s evolutionary phases, are to the engineer a necessary tool for understanding the structure’s static and dynamic behaviour. This work addresses the issue of the protection of archaeological sites and investigates the means of intervention on buildings in a state of ruin, choosing to run a project of ‘authentic restoration’ that, by establishing structure’s collapse mechanisms, is oriented on non-invasive/removable solutions, designed to not alter the building’s identity.

Transdiagnostic cognitive behaviour therapy for anxiety: Comparisons to traditional CBT, examining the outcomes of therapy and evaluating potential mediators of change.
Creators: name: Pearl, Shaun
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Clinical Psychology

description: Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent, significantly impact people’s lives and contribute to significant economic burden. Transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, based on a foundation of evidence-based practice, and the latest research about anxiety. This research included a comparison of the effects of previous transdiagnostic CBT clinical trials with "standard" CBT trials, to see if it was more effective. The findings favoured transdiagnostic CBT. It also included the results of a recent trial using transdiagnostic CBT for people with anxiety, and tests of the underlying factors that might mediate change in anxiety during treatment.
Measure and material of the 18th- 20th century masonry techniques. Archaeological analysis of the University building in Cagliari (Italy)

description: The University building represents a valid benchmark of the 18th century civil architecture in Cagliari. It consists of two separate architectures, initially seat of the Rectorate and of the Tridentine seminary, which over time have taken on a homogeneous character. The research, facilitated by the realization of a recent restoration project, was aimed to examine the masonry techniques that characterize the building, following an interdisciplinary approach by means of archaeological analyses. The investigation consisted of two main phases, indirect and direct, carried out in parallel. Specifically, it has been based on a thorough survey of the masonries and on mineralogical and petrographic characterization of the natural and artificial stone materials. The data obtained directly and through experiments were compared with the information found in the archival sources related to the construction phases. In the context of reference, the contribution is significant to facilitate the recognition, the dating, and the preservation of coeval architectures that, unlike the one examined, are not philologically dated.

description: The available data for E2 transition strengths in the region between neutron-deficient Hf and Pt isotopes are far from complete. More and precise data are needed to enhance the picture of structure evolution in this region and to test state-of-the-art nuclear models. In a simple model, the maximum collectivity is expected at the middle of the major shell. However, for actual nuclei, this picture may no longer be the case, and one should use a more realistic nuclear-structure model. We address this point by studying the spectroscopy of Hf. We remeasure the 2^+_1 half-lives of 172,174,176Hf, for which there is some disagreement in the literature. The main goal is to measure, for the first time, the half-lives of higher-lying states of the rotational band. The new results are compared to a theoretical calculation for absolute transition strengths. The half-lives were measured using γ-γand conversion-electron-γdelayed coincidences with the fast timing method. For the determination of half-lives in the picosecond region, the generalized centroid difference method was applied. For the theoretical calculation of the spectroscopic properties, the interacting boson model is employed, whose Hamiltonian is determined based on microscopic energy-density functional calculations. The measured 2^+_1 half-lives disagree with results from earlier γ-γfast timing measurements, but are in agreement with data from Coulomb excitation experiments and other methods. Half-lives of the 4^+_1 and 6^+_1 states were measured, as well as a lower limit for the 8^+_1 states. We show the importance of the mass-dependence of effective boson charge in the description of E2 transition rates in chains of nuclei. It encourages further studies of the microscopic origin of this mass dependence. New data on transition rates in nuclei from neighboring isotopic chains could support these studies.
