description: (1) Background: Minimally invasive oesophagectomy (MIE) with intrathoracic anastomosis is increasingly used in treating patients with oesophageal cancer. Anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a critical perioperative complication, despite recent advances in surgical techniques. It remains unclear to what extent the size of the circular stapler (CS), a 25 mm CS or a bigger CS, may affect the incidence of AL. This study aimed to evaluate whether the CS size in oesophagogastrostomy affects the postoperative AL rates and related morbidity in MIE. (2) Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of consecutive patients who had undergone thoracic MIE between August 2014 and July 2019 using a CS oesophagogastric anastomosis at the level of the Vena azygos. The patients were grouped according to CS size (mm): small-sized (SS25) and large-sized (LS29). The patient demographics, data regarding morbidity, and clinical outcomes were compared. The primary outcome measure was the AL rate related to the stapler size. (3) Results: A total of 119 patients were included (SS25: n = 65; LS29: n = 54). Except for the distribution of squamous cell carcinoma, the demographics were similar in each group. The AL rate was 3.7% in the LS29 group and 18.5% in the SS25 group (p = 0.01). The major morbidity (CD >= 3a) was significantly more frequent in the SS25 group compared with the LS29 group (p = 0.02). CS size, pulmonary complications, and cardiovascular disease were independent risk factors for AL in the multivariate analysis. (4) Conclusions: A 29 mm CS is associated with significantly improved surgical outcomes following standard MIE at the level of the azygos vein and should be conducted whenever technically feasible.

description: We present a method for calculating the electronic structure of correlated materials based on a truly first-principles LDA+U scheme. Recently we suggested how to calculate U from first-principles, using a method which we named constrained RPA (cRPA). The input is simply the Kohn-Sham eigenfunctions and eigenvalues obtained within the LDA. In our proposed self-consistent LDA+U scheme, we calculate the LDA+U eigenfunctions and eigenvalues and use these to extract U. The updated U is then used in the next iteration to obtain a new set of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues and the iteration is continued until convergence is achieved. The most significant result is that our numerical approach is indeed stable: it is possible to find the effective exchange and correlation interaction matrix in a self-consistent way, resulting in a significant improvement over the LDA results, regarding both the bandgap in NiO and the f-band exchange spin-splitting in Gd, but some discrepancies still remain.

description: During the past few years, unexpected developments have driven studies in the field of clinical immunology. One driver of immense impact was the outbreak of a pandemic caused by the novel virus SARS-CoV-2. Excellent recent reviews address diverse aspects of immunological re-search into cardiovascular diseases. Here, we specifically focus on selected studies taking advantage of advanced state-of-the-art molecular genetic methods ranging from genome-wide epi/transcriptome mapping and variant scanning to optogenetics and chemogenetics. First, we discuss the emerging clinical relevance of advanced diagnostics for cardiovascular diseases, including those associated with COVID-19-with a focus on the role of inflammation in cardiomyopathies and arrhythmias. Second, we consider newly identified immunological interactions at organ and system levels which affect cardiovascular pathogenesis. Thus, studies into immune influences arising from the intestinal system are moving towards therapeutic exploitation. Further, powerful new research tools have enabled novel insight into brain-immune system interactions at unprecedented resolution. This latter line of investigation emphasizes the strength of influence of emotional stress-acting through defined brain regions-upon viral and cardiovascular disorders. Several challenges need to be overcome before the full impact of these far-reaching new findings will hit the clinical arena.

description: We investigate the role of the isoscalar vector interaction and the dynamics of the Polyakov loop on inhomogeneous phases in the phase diagram of the two-flavor Nambu-Jona--Lasinio (NJL) model. Thereby we concentrate on phases with a one-dimensional modulation, explicitly domain-wall solitons and, for comparison, the chiral spiral. While the inclusion of the Polyakov loop merely leads to quantitative changes compared to the original NJL model, the presence of a repulsive vector-channel interaction has significant qualitative effects: Whereas for homogeneous phases the first-order phase transition gets weakened and eventually turns into a second-order transition or a cross-over, the domain of inhomogeneous phases is less affected. In particular the location of the Lifshitz point in terms of temperature and density is not modified. Consequently, the critical point disappears from the phase diagram and only a Lifshitz point (showing a different critical behavior) remains. As a result, susceptibilities remain finite.

description: Background: Elevated serum ferritin is a common condition in critically ill patients. It is well known that hyperferritinemia constitutes a good biomarker for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in critically ill patients. However, further differential diagnoses of hyperferritinemia in adult critically ill patients remain poorly investigated. We sought to systematically investigate hyperferritinemia in adult critically ill patients without HLH. Methods: In this secondary analysis of a retrospective observational study, patients >= 18 years admitted to at least one adult intensive care unit at Charite-Universitatsmedizin Berlin between January 2006 and August 2018, and with hyperferritinemia of >= 500 mu g/L were included. Patients with HLH were excluded. All patients were categorized into non-sepsis, sepsis, and septic shock. They were also classified into 17 disease groups, based on their ICD-10 codes, and pre-existing immunosuppression was determined. Uni- and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed in all patients. Results: A total of 2583 patients were analyzed. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed positive associations of maximum SOFA score, sepsis or septic shock, liver disease (except hepatitis), and hematological malignancy with maximum ferritin. T/NK cell lymphoma, acute myeloblastic leukemia, Kaposi's sarcoma, acute or subacute liver failure, and hepatic veno-occlusive disease were positively associated with maximum ferritin in post-hoc multivariable linear regression analysis. Conclusions: Sepsis or septic shock, liver disease (except hepatitis) and hematological malignancy are important differential diagnoses in hyperferritinemic adult critically ill patients without HLH. Together with HLH, they complete the quartet of important differential diagnoses of hyperferritinemia in adult critically ill patients. As these conditions are also related to HLH, it is important to apply HLH-2004 criteria for exclusion of HLH in hyperferritinemic patients. Hyperferritinemic critically ill patients without HLH require quick investigation of differential diagnoses.
Spectral weight of doping-induced states in the 2D Hubbard model

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The spectral weight of states induced in the Mott gap via hole doping in the two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied within cluster dynamical mean field theory combined with finite-temperature exact diagonalization. If the cutoff energy is chosen to lie just below the upper Hubbard band, the integrated weight per spin is shown to satisfy $W_+(δ)\geδ$ ($δ$ denotes the total number of holes), in agreement with model predictions by Eskes {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 67}, 1035 (1991)]. However, if the cutoff energy is chosen to lie in the range of the pseudogap, $W_+(δ)$ remains much smaller than $δ$ and approximately saturates near $δ\approx 0.2...0.3$. The analysis of recent X-ray absorption spectroscopy data therefore depends crucially on the appropriate definition of the integration window.

A framework for joint petrophysically and geologically guided geophysical inversion
Creators: name: Astic, Thibaut
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Geophysical inversion is a mathematical process from which an image of the underground structures is recovered from geophysical data. Geophysical methods span a wide range of different physical phenomena, from measuring variations of the Earth’s magnetic field due to local changes in magnetic characteristics to injecting current in the ground through electrodes to observe electrical conductivity variations. However, this process suffers from two main flaws. First, the problem is highly non-unique as there are usually more unknowns than information in the data. To recover an informative image of the subsurface from geophysical data, a priori information about the area is necessary. The widely used minimum- structure approaches usually produce models that are smooth and lack edge resolution while presenting physical properties that are far from their expected values. Second, not all geophysical methods are sensitive to the same features. When multiple surveys with different physics are collected over the same area, combining them in a coherent picture can be complicated by apparent inconsistencies between the inversion results from each method, due to the lack of integration. iii To tackle these issues, I first propose a new framework for incorporating petrophysical and geological information into voxel-based geophysical inversion. The inverse problem is developed from a probabilistic perspective and redefined as three interlocked data fitting problems over the geophysical, petrophysical, and geological data, respectively. By quantitatively linking these data into a single framework, I recover a final inverted model that reproduces the observed, or desired, petrophysical and geological features while fitting the geophysical data. I then expand the framework to multiple physical properties to perform multi-physics joint inversions, using the prior information as a coupling term. By combining the data into a single inversion, I am able to uncover structures that are otherwise indistinguishable using single-physics inversions. The framework is finally applied to the DO-27 kimberlite pipe case study, in the Tli Kwi Cho (TKC) cluster. I jointly invert airborne and ground-based gravity data, along with airborne magnetic data, to recover a quasi-geology model that can distinguish between the diamondiferous and sterile kimberlite facies.

description: The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-known model organism used to investigate fundamental questions in biology. Motility assays of this small roundworm are designed to study the relationships between genes and behavior. Commonly, motility analysis is used to classify nematode movements and characterize them quantitatively. Over the past years, C. elegans' motility has been studied across a wide range of environments, including crawling on substrates, swimming in fluids, and locomoting through microfluidic substrates. However, each environment often requires customized image processing tools relying on heuristic parameter tuning. In the present study, we propose a novel Multi-Environment Model Estimation (MEME) framework for automated image segmentation that is versatile across various environments. The MEME platform is constructed around the concept of Mixture of Gaussian (MOG) models, where statistical models for both the background environment and the nematode appearance are explicitly learned and used to accurately segment a target nematode. Our method is designed to simplify the burden often imposed on users; here, only a single image which includes a nematode in its environment must be provided for model learning. In addition, our platform enables the extraction of nematode `skeletons' for straightforward motility quantification. We test our algorithm on various locomotive environments and compare performances with an intensity-based thresholding method. Overall, MEME outperforms the threshold-based approach for the overwhelming majority of cases examined. Ultimately, MEME provides researchers with an attractive platform for C. elegans' segmentation and `skeletonizing' across a wide range of motility assays.

Conformation dependence of charge transfer and level alignment in nitrobenzene junctions with pyridyl anchor groups

description: The alignment of molecular levels with the Fermi energy in single molecule junctions is a crucial factor in determining their conductance or the observability of quantum interference effects. In the present study which is based on density functional theory calculations, we explore the zero-bias charge transfer and level alignment for nitro-bipyridyl-phenyl adsorbed between two gold surfaces which we find to vary significantly with the molecular conformation. The net charge transfer is the result of two opposing effects, namely Pauli repulsion at the interface between the molecule and the leads, and the electron accepting nature of the NO$_2$ group, where only the latter which we analyze in terms of the electronegativity of the isolated molecules depends on the two intra-molecular torsion angles. We provide evidence that the conformation dependence of the alignment of molecular levels and peaks in the transmission function can indeed be understood in terms of charge transfer for this system, and that other properties such as molecular dipoles do not play a significant role. Our study is relevant for device design in molecular electronics where nitrobenzene appears as a component in proposals for rectification, quantum interference or chemical gating.

description: According to the work of Dennis Sullivan, there exists a smooth flow on the 5-sphere all of whose orbits are periodic although there is no uniform bound on their periods. The question addressed in this article is whether these type of examples can occur in the partially hyperbolic context. That is, if does there exist a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism of a compact manifold such that all the leaves of its center foliation are compact but there is no uniform bound for their volumes. We develop tools to attack the previous question and show that it has negative answer provided that all periodic leaves have finite holonomy.

description: Con il mio lavoro di diploma ho voluto osservare l’atteggiamento dei discenti – la motivazione, la sicurezza e l’autonomia nel lavoro – verso i testi autentici in tedesco. Mi sono occupata dei testi autentici poiché ritengo importante che gli allievi siano confrontati con tali testi e che ricevano gli strumenti necessari per affrontarli. Infatti, al di fuori dell’ambito scolastico, i discenti faranno fronte a dei testi autentici e non a quelli semplificati. Ho osservato l’atteggiamento degli allievi per capire come affrontare con loro tali testi nel modo migliore. Ho eseguito le attività, due questionari e sette interventi, in una classe di terza della SM Lodrino, corso attitudinale. A ogni attività ho osservato gli alunni e ho preso appunti in un diario. Per analizzare i risultati ottenuti ho paragonato le mie osservazioni ai lavori svolti dagli allievi e al questionario finale e ho così individuato i fattori che motivano gli alunni a leggere i testi autentici: il lavoro a piccoli gruppi, i testi brevi e interessanti, la scelta della lettura e del compito, il lavoro in aula informatica e i dizionari online. Tuttavia non sono riuscita a rendere i discenti sicuri nel lavoro e autonomi nell’applicazione delle strategie di lettura. Relatore: Gé Stoks. Materia: tedesco
Age distributions of star clusters in spiral and barred galaxies as a test for theories of spiral structure

description: We consider models of gas flow in spiral galaxies in which the spiral structure has been excited by various possible mechanisms: a global steady density wave, self-gravity of the stellar disc and an external tidal interaction, as well as the case of a galaxy with a central rotating bar. In each model we estimate in a simple manner the likely current positions of star clusters of a variety of ages, ranging from ~ 2 Myr to around 130 Myr, depending on the model. We find that the spatial distribution of cluster of different ages varies markedly depending on the model, and propose that observations of the locations of age-dated stellar clusters is a possible discriminant between excitation mechanisms for spiral structure in an individual galaxy.

description: Families and couples were challenged with stresses unlike any other as individuals faced adversities from lockdowns, as well as fears derived from the coronavirus. During the pandemic, trends of webcomics became more popular, particularly comics that depicted characters in romantic relationships dealing with “the new normal.” In this project, I suggest that social media webcomics incorporated topics of coping. The purpose of this study was to examine webcomics that documented daily life situations during lockdowns and stress-buffering skills found in couples’ interactions when dealing with concerns. Utilizing Braun and Clarke’s (2006) thematic analysis, 585 romantic relationship webcomics posted from March 2020 to December 2021 were analyzed through Walsh’s (2003) theoretical framework of family resilience. Walsh’s (2003) nine themes used for coding included: 1) make meaning of adversity, 2) positive outlook, 3) transcendence and spirituality, 4) flexibility, 5) connectedness, 6) social and economic resources, 7) clarity, 8) open emotional expression, 9) collaborative problem-solving. Additionally, three sub-themes emerged during coding: (1) Caregiving, (2) Differences in Opinion, (3) Physical Touch. Results indicated that the theme of “connectedness” appeared most frequently (Gr=450). The findings provide unique insights into how popular trends of webcomics distributed through social media are beneficial to learning patterns of couples’ coping strategies. I conclude the emphasis of webcomics used more frequently as resources for families to learn resilient approaches.

The approach taken is to identify a migration path from current architectures to those that incorporate re-configuration to a lesser or greater degree. Other challenges identified include change of the development process; incremental and flexible timing and safety analyses; configurable kernels applicable for safety-critical systems.

"Other" women in flight : sexual minority and polygynous refugee women
Creators: name: Yorgun, Siobhan L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Refugee law scholarship is largely focused on the application of refugee law and the refugee status determination processes of Western host countries. This geographical focus of the majority of scholarly work stands in stark contrast to the global distribution of refugees, the majority of whom are hosted by countries of the Global South. This dissertation exposes this imbalanced knowledge production in refugee law, specifically the way in which the unacknowledged bias in the study of refugee law as applied only in select Western countries, limits and indeed distorts our understanding of international refugee law. This distortion has particular consequences for some of the most vulnerable and least mobile refugees residing in host countries of the Global South. This dissertation is based on a qualitative data analysis of interviews I conducted with refugee service providers and refugees in South Africa, supported by a study of the existing literature and legislation. This dissertation presents an alternatively located, feminist study of the understanding of especially ostracized women; polygynous and sexual minority refugee women, within the South African asylum system. I conclude that a variety of factors contribute to the invisibility of these women to service providers, factors which are influenced by and familiar to Western refugee law studies; stereotypical expectations of the refugee figure and of polygynous families and of queer identity, compounded by the socio-economic isolation of these women refugees. I identify particularly relevant distortions in the current study of refugee law, including the neglect of the nexus between economics and experiences of persecution, especially of continuing persecution within host states. I also problematize the reliance on an identity-politics framing of persecuted identities in the study and application of refugee law, which especially disadvantages refugees with intersectional vulnerabilities. The refugees most impacted by these systemic problems in our understanding of refugee law; the economically disadvantaged and those with intersectional vulnerabilities (including, and amplified by, economic disadvantage), are similarly those whose very disadvantage and vulnerability limit mobility. They are thus those most likely to be underrepresented in the distant and expensive states whose asylum systems form the predominant focus of refugee law studies.

description: $N$-point functions of holomorphic fields in conformal field theories can be calculated by methods from algebraic geometry. We establish explicit formulas for the 2-point function of the Virasoro field on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$. Virasoro $N$-point functions for higher $N$ are obtained inductively, and we show that they have a nice graph representation. We discuss the 3-point function with application to the $(2,5)$ minimal model.

Infinitely many commuting operators for the elliptic quantum group $U_{q,p}(\hat{sl_N})$
Creators: name: Kojima, Takeo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)
subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct two classes of infinitely many commuting operators associated with the elliptic quantum group $U_{q,p}(\hat{sl_N})$. We call one of them the integral of motion ${\cal G}_m$, $(m \in {\mathbb N})$ and the other the boundary transfer matrix $T_B(z)$, $(z \in {\mathbb C})$. The integral of motion ${\cal G}_m$ is related to elliptic deformation of the $N$-th KdV theory. The boundary transfer matrix $T_B(z)$ is related to the boundary $U_{q,p}(\hat{sl_N})$ face model. We diagonalize the boundary transfer matrix $T_B(z)$ by using the free field realization of the elliptic quantum group, however diagonalization of the integral of motion ${\cal G}_m$ is open problem even for the simplest case $U_{q,p}(\hat{sl_2})$.

description: The matrix Schroedinger equation with a selfadjoint matrix potential is considered on the half line with the most general selfadjoint boundary condition at the origin. When the matrix potential is integrable and has a first moment, it is shown that the corresponding scattering matrix is continuous at zero energy. An explicit formula is provided for the scattering matrix at zero energy. The small-energy asymptotics are established also for the corresponding Jost matrix, its inverse, and various other quantities relevant to the corresponding direct and inverse scattering problems.

description: We consider a version of the generalized hypergeometric system introduced by Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinski (GKZ) suited for the case when the underlying lattice is replaced by a finitely generated abelian group. In contrast to the usual GKZ hypergeometric system, the rank of the better behaved GKZ hypergeometric system is always the expected one. We give largely self-contained proofs of many properties of this system. The discussion is intimately related to the study of the variations of Hodge structures of hypersurfaces in algebraic tori.

description: We calculate the AC linear response of a superconductor in a nonequilibrium electronic state. The nonequilibrium state is produced by injecting quasiparticles into the superconductor from normal leads through asymmetric tunnel contacts. The dissipative part of the response is drastically increased by the injected quasiparticles and is proportional to their total number regardless of the imbalance between the numbers of electron-like and hole-like excitations.

Reforming the RPP for Public Accountants: Addressing Contemporary Challenges
Creators: name: Science Step Journal
Publisher: name: Science Step Journal

Subjects: subject: Public finance
subject: Economics

description: The reform of the personal and financial responsibility (PPR) of public accountants has become an undeniable necessity. While this framework is essential for ensuring transparency and rigor in the management of public funds, it must be adapted to the evolving economic and institutional context. Indeed, increasing demands for financial performance, the growing complexity of accounting operations, and the rise of new technologies call for a modernization of the current system. A reform would not only alleviate certain constraints weighing on public accountants but also establish a more balanced system that reconciles responsibility, efficiency, and legal security. This article highlights the importance of reforming the personal and financial responsibility regime (PPR) of public accountants, a crucial issue for improving public financial management. Through an in-depth analysis, it examines the limitations of the current framework and the challenges faced by public accountants while proposing reform avenues adapted to modern requirements.

description: For non-Archimedean spaces $ X $ and $ Y, $ let $ \mathcal{M}_{\flat } (X), \mathfrak{M}(V \rightarrow W) $ and $ \mathfrak{D}_{\flat }(X, Y) $ be the ballean of $ X $ (the family of the balls in $ X $), the space of mappings from $ X $ to $ Y, $ and the space of mappings from the ballen of $ X $ to $ Y, $ respectively. By studying explicitly the Hausdorff metric structures related to these spaces, we construct several families of new metric structures (e.g., $ \widehat{ρ} _{u}, \widehat{β}_{X, Y}^{λ}, \widehat{β}_{X, Y}^{\ast λ} $) on the corresponding spaces, and study their convergence, structural relation, law of variation in the variable $ λ, $ including some normed algebra structure. To some extent, the class $ \widehat{β}_{X, Y}^{λ} $ is a counterpart of the usual Levy-Prohorov metric in the probability measure spaces, but it behaves very differently, and is interesting in itself. Moreover, when $ X $ is compact and $ Y = K $ is a complete non-Archimedean field, we construct and study a Dudly type metric of the space of $ K-$valued measures on $ X. $

Beyond men to surveil and women to (un)veil : Muslim youth negotiating identity, home and belonging in a Canadian high school
Creators: name: Miled, Neila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Muslims are living a precarious existence in Canada and the discomfort with Islam and Muslims is deeply entrenched in the Canadian psyche, policies, media and school curriculum. This research study explores Muslim youth identity negotiations and sense of belonging at this time of fear and uncertainty and disturbing racism and Islamophobia. It challenges the Muslim “single story”, questions being Muslim and becoming Canadian and explores the role of schools in youth identity negotiations and belonging using ethnographic methods and visual participatory methods. The study was conducted in a Canadian public high school with young Muslim women and men aged 14 to 19, to investigate how Muslim youth from diverse ethnic, cultural, and national backgrounds and with different experiences of (im)migration and displacement construct and perform their Muslimness and /or Canadianness while they are navigating their daily school experiences. The study is framed theoretically by critical theory, transnational feminism, postcolonialism, and notions of diaspora and critical identity and belonging. The different chapters center the experiences and voices of Muslims in Canada and highlight the multiple ways that they construct and perform “Muslimness”, negotiate “Canadianness” and manage the fluid and shifting “in-betweenness” that characterizes their “glocal” lives. This dissertation delves into investigating the intricacies of Muslim youth identities and belonging and also the research dilemmas emerging from the research journey. It presents the complexities of these experiences; the centrality of race and religious visibility in defining how these young women and men feel about being Muslim and /or Canadian, and the situated ways they engage with their Muslim and/ or Canadian identities, their situated belonging and the different “worlds” they are inhabiting and their ways of making sense of them. The study findings highlight that there is a shift from the essentialized self-understanding and self-representation of Muslim identity shaped by transnational belonging, global youth culture and new forms of identification and engagement with religion, culture and belonging that go beyond the assumptions of authentic Muslim identity and the territoriality of belonging. It also identifies the impact of positive school experiences on these negotiations and the participants’ sense of belonging.
