description: Whooping cough is an acute respiratory disease caused by B. Pertussis, characterized by a paroxysmal cough and the presence of severe complications. Against the background of high vaccination coverage, the incidence remains unstable, with a tendency to increase in many countries, Russia is not an exception. Whooping cough remains a significant cause of childhood mortality and a serious health problem. In the world, about 60 million people get whooping cough every year. More than 1 million children die, especially in the first year of life. In Russia, indicators ofthe average level ofmorbidity are registered: from 1,0 to 4,15 per 100 thousand population. The tense epidemiological situation is explained by the lack of alertness of clinicians in the possibility of infection of adolescents and adults, since the disease often occurs in an atypical form and is diagnosed as ARI or SARS. The increase in morbidity is associated with: improved diagnostics (PCR diagnostics), changes in the antigenic structure of the pathogen, short duration of postvaccination immunity, and reduced vaccination coverage.
Key words: pertussis, the incidence of pertussis, the epidemiological significance of pertussis, vaccination

description: Many features from texts and languages can now be inferred from statistical analyses using concepts from complex networks and dynamical systems. In this paper we quantify how topological properties of word co-occurrence networks and intermittency (or burstiness) in word distribution depend on the style of authors. Our database contains 40 books from 8 authors who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries, for which the following network measurements were obtained: clustering coefficient, average shortest path lengths, and betweenness. We found that the two factors with stronger dependency on the authors were the skewness in the distribution of word intermittency and the average shortest paths. Other factors such as the betweeness and the Zipf's law exponent show only weak dependency on authorship. Also assessed was the contribution from each measurement to authorship recognition using three machine learning methods. The best performance was a ca. 65 % accuracy upon combining complex network and intermittency features with the nearest neighbor algorithm. From a detailed analysis of the interdependence of the various metrics it is concluded that the methods used here are complementary for providing short- and long-scale perspectives of texts, which are useful for applications such as identification of topical words and information retrieval.

description: Problem: Little is known about midwives’ views and wellbeing when working in an all-risk caseload model. Background: Between March 2017 and December 2020 three maternity services in Victoria, Australia implemented culturally responsive caseload models for women having a First Nations baby. Aim: Explore the views, experiences and wellbeing of midwives working in an all-risk culturally responsive model for First Nations families compared to midwives in standard caseload models in the same services. Methods: A survey was sent to all midwives in the culturally responsive (CR) model six-months and two years after commencement (or on exit), and to standard caseload (SC) midwives two years after the culturally responsive model commenced. Measures used included the Midwifery Process Questionnaire and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Findings: 35 caseload midwives (19 CR, 16 SC) participated. Both groups reported positive attitudes towards their professional role, trending towards higher median levels of satisfaction for the culturally responsive midwives. Midwives valued building close relationships with women and providing continuity of care. Around half reported difficulty maintaining work-life balance, however almost all preferred the flexible hours to shift work. All agreed that a reduced caseload is needed for an all-risk model and that supports around the model (e.g. nominated social workers, obstetricians) are important. Mean CBI scores showed no burnout in either group, with small numbers of individuals having burnout in both groups. Discussion and conclusion: Midwives were highly satisfied working in both caseload models, but decreased caseloads and more organisational supports are needed in all-risk models.

description: It is common practice in the oil and gas industry to use a single vertical well with limited number of geophones to monitor the microseismicity induced by hydraulic fracture treatment. In this thesis, I have employed a synthetic and stochastic modeling approach to investigate the effects of monitoring geometry and noise on inverting recorded P- and S-wave amplitudes for the moment tensor and source parameters responsible for generating the observed seismograms. The results of the synthetic modeling have shown that microseismic moment-tensor inversion using data from a single vertical monitoring wellis ill-conditioned and incapable of resolving all six components of the moment tensor. Mitigating this problem requires introducing new constraints and a-priori assumptions on mversion.

description: Search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence constitutes one of the major endeavors in science, but has yet been quantitatively modeled only rarely and in a cursory and superficial fashion. We argue that probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) represent the best quantitative framework for modeling astrobiological history of the Milky Way and its Galactic Habitable Zone. The relevant astrobiological parameters are to be modeled as the elements of the input probability matrix for the PCA kernel. With the underlying simplicity of the cellular automata constructs, this approach enables a quick analysis of large and ambiguous input parameters' space. We perform a simple clustering analysis of typical astrobiological histories and discuss the relevant boundary conditions of practical importance for planning and guiding actual empirical astrobiological and SETI projects. In addition to showing how the present framework is adaptable to more complex situations and updated observational databases from current and near-future space missions, we demonstrate how numerical results could offer a cautious rationale for continuation of practical SETI searches.

description: I investigate the effects of the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid Expansion on the mental health of high school students using data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System from 2009 to 2019. I find that Medicaid Expansion was associated with decreases in rates of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Following Medicaid Expansion, youth residing in Expansion states experienced a 0.73 percentage point decline in suicidal ideation and a 0.68 percentage point decline in suicide attempts, a 4.88% and 4.80% reduction over the pre-treatment mean in Expansion states, respectively; these effects are marginally significant at the 10% level. The effects of Medicaid Expansion against suicidality appear five years post-policy implementation for both suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, which is 2019 for most of the Expansion states. Analyzing the effects of Medicaid Expansion by demographic subgroups suggest that the policy may have particularly benefited Black and queer youth who experienced increases in the prevalence of self-reported major depressive episodes but decreases in suicidal behavior.

We analyze the evolution of the density of topological defects and we show that these take finite density over very long periods of time in all kinds of quenches. We identify the leading mechanisms for the growth of domains in the ordered phases and we evaluate the (anisotropically) growing lengths involved in dynamic scaling.

This article examines and evaluates his grand achievements and incomplete efforts in light of the social crises and political travails of his time. To do honor to him is to keep the legacy of his work and life alive. And to keep this legacy alive is, in part, to keep in view how he made and remade himself-cast and recast his ways of life and ways of struggle-under circumstances (usually adverse circumstances) not of his choosing.

description: Accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) is important to know how much water is required during the growing season, to improve crop water management, to conserve soil and water resources and for water rights purposes. Various forms of semi-empirical equations have been developed to estimate crop ET. The ASCE-EWRI Standardized Penman-Monteith (PM) equation and the full version of the Penman-Monteith equation have been used in this study to estimate alfalfa ET. The ASCE-EWRI Standardized PM equation along with crop coefficients (Kc) can be used to estimate actual crop ET. The full version of the PM equation can be applied to calculate actual ET directly for unstressed crop conditions using weather and crop variables. In this study, both PM ET methods were evaluated using a monolithic precision weighing lysimeter. The research was carried out at the Colorado State University- Arkansas Valley Research Center, Rocky Ford, Colorado. Data from 2009 and 2010 from a large precision monolithic weighing lysimeter were used. The performance evaluation of the PM equations was done for different atmospheric stability conditions. The statistical analysis included the mean absolute error, mean biased error, root mean squared error, linear regression slope-intercept (and goodness of fit), and the index of agreement. The evaluation was done using days where the alfalfa was at reference conditions. The results showed that both PM ET methods compared satisfactorily with the lysimeter ET values, however, both methods underestimated actual alfalfa ET. It was also observed that the bias was larger in unstable than in stable atmospheric condition for both methods.

description: We use the variational mean-field approach to systematically study the phase diagram of a bilayer heterostructure of the correlated transition metal oxide LaNiO3, grown along the (111) direction. The Ni 3+ ions with d7 (or eg1) configuration form a buckled honeycomb lattice. We show that as a function of the strength of the on-site interactions, various topological phases emerge. In the presence of a reasonable size of the Hund's coupling, as the correlation is tuned from intermediate to strong, the following sequence of phases is found: (1) a Dirac half-semimetal phase, (2) a quantum anomalous hall insulator (QAHI) phase with Chern number one, and (3) a ferromagnetic nematic phase breaking the lattice point group symmetry. The spin-orbit couplings and magnetism are both dynamically generated in the QAHI phase.

description: Fetal hemoglobin level is a heritable complex trait that strongly correlates with the clinical severity of sickle cell disease. Only few genetic loci have been identified as robustly associated with fetal hemoglobin in patients with sickle cell disease, primarily adults. The sole approved pharmacologic therapy for this disease is hydroxyurea, with effects largely attributable to induction of fetal hemoglobin. In a multi-site observational analysis of children with sickle cell disease, candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with baseline fetal hemoglobin levels in adult sickle cell disease were examined in children at baseline and induced by hydroxyurea therapy. For baseline levels, single marker analysis demonstrated significant association with BCL11A and the beta and epsilon globin loci (HBB and HBE, respectively), with an additive attributable variance from these loci of 23%. Among a subset of children on hydroxyurea, baseline fetal hemoglobin levels explained 33% of the variance in induced levels. The variant in HBE accounted for an additional 13% of the variance in induced levels, while variants in the HBB and BCL11A loci did not contribute beyond baseline levels. These findings clarify the overlap between baseline and hydroxyurea-induced fetal hemoglobin levels in pediatric disease. Studies assessing influences of specific sequence variants in these and other genetic loci in larger populations and in unusual hydroxyurea responders are needed to further understand the maintenance and therapeutic induction of fetal hemoglobin in pediatric sickle cell disease.

description: At least two multi-planetary systems in a 4:3 mean motion resonance have been found by radial velocity surveys. These planets are gas giants and the systems are only stable when protected by a resonance. Additionally the Kepler mission has detected at least 4 strong candidate planetary systems with a period ratio close to 4:3. This paper investigates traditional dynamical scenarios for the formation of these systems. We systematically study migration scenarios with both N-body and hydro-dynamic simulations. We investigate scenarios involving the in-situ formation of two planets in resonance. We look at the results from finely tuned planet-planet scattering simulations with gas disk damping. Finally, we investigate a formation scenario involving isolation-mass embryos. Although the combined planet-planet scattering and damping scenario seems promising, none of the above scenarios is successful in forming enough systems in 4:3 resonance with planetary masses similar to the observed ones. This is a negative result but it has important implications for planet formation. Previous studies were successful in forming 2:1 and 3:2 resonances. This is generally believed to be evidence of planet migration. We highlight the main differences between those studies and our failure in forming a 4:3 resonance. We also speculate on more exotic and complicated ideas. These results will guide future investigators toward exploring the above scenarios and alternative mechanisms in a more general framework.

description: Otitis media is a common reason for hearing loss, especially in children. Otitis media is a multifactorial disease and environmental factors, anatomic dysmorphology and genetic predisposition can all contribute to its pathogenesis. However, the reasons for the variable susceptibility to otitis media are elusive. MCPH1 mutations cause primary microcephaly in humans. So far, no hearing impairment has been reported either in the MCPH1 patients or mouse models with Mcph1 deficiency. In this study, Mcph1-deficient (Mcph1tm1a/tm1a) mice were produced using embryonic stem cells with a targeted mutation by the Sanger Institute’s Mouse Genetics Project. Auditory brainstem response measurements revealed that Mcph1tm1a/tm1a mice had mild to moderate hearing impairment with around 70% penetrance. We found otitis media with effusion in the hearing-impaired Mcph1tm1a/tm1a mice by anatomic and histological examinations. Expression of Mcph1 in the epithelial cells of middle ear cavities supported its involvement in the development of otitis media. Other defects of Mcph1tm1a/tm1a mice included small skull sizes, increased micronuclei in red blood cells, increased B cells and ocular abnormalities. These findings not only recapitulated the defects found in other Mcph1-deficient mice or MCPH1 patients, but also revealed an unexpected phenotype, otitis media with hearing impairment, which suggests Mcph1 is a new gene underlying genetic predisposition to otitis media.

description: © 2020 Elsevier B.V. Background: The efficacy of foot orthoses in reducing patellofemoral pain (PFP) is well documented; however, the mechanisms by which foot orthoses modulate pain and function are poorly understood. Research question: This within-subject study investigated the immediate effects of foot orthoses on lower limb kinematics and angular impulses during level walking and stair ambulation in individuals with persistent PFP. Methods: Forty-two participants with persistent PFP (≥3 months duration) underwent quantitative gait analysis during level walking, stair ascent and stair descent while using: (i) standard running sandals (control); and (ii) standard running sandals fitted with prefabricated foot orthoses. Hip, knee, and ankle joint kinematics and angular impulses were calculated and statistically analyzed using paired t-tests (p < 0.05). Results: Relative to the control condition, foot orthoses use was associated with small but significant decreases in maximum ankle inversion angles during walking (mean difference [95% confidence interval]: −1.00° [−1.48 to −0.53]), stair ascent (−1.06° [−1.66 to −0.45]) and stair decent (−0.94° [−1.40 to −0.49]). Foot orthoses were also associated with decreased ankle eversion impulse during walking (−9.8Nms/kg [−12.7 to −6.8]), and decreased ankle dorsiflexion and eversion impulse during stair ascent (−67.6Nms/kg [−100.7 to −34.6] and −17.5Nms/kg [−23.6 to −11.4], respectively) and descent (−50.4Nms/kg [−77.2 to −23.6] and −11.6Nms/kg [−15.6 to −7.5], respectively). Ankle internal rotation impulse decreased when participants ascended stairs with foot orthoses (−3.3Nms/kg [−5.4 to −1.3]). Limited changes were observed at the knee and hip. Significance: In individuals with persistent PFP, small immediate changes in kinematics and angular impulses – primarily at the ankle – were observed when foot orthoses were worn during walking or stair ambulation. The clinical implications of these small changes, as well as the longer-term effects of foot orthoses on lower limb biomechanics, are yet to be determined.

description: This article provides a selective review on the recent developments of some nonlinear nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models. In particular, we focus on two types of modelling frameworks: nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models with deterministic trends, and semiparametric single-index panel data models with individual effects. We also review various estimation methodologies which can consistently estimate both the parametric and nonparametric components in these models.

description: We present results from the first radio observations of a complete orbit (~ 17 days) of the neutron star X-ray binary Circinus X-1 using the Australia Telescope Compact Array Broadband Backend, taken while the system was in an historically faint state. We have captured the rapid rise and decline of a periastron passage flare, with flux densities for 9 days prior to the event stable at ~ 1 mJy at 5.5 GHz and ~ 0.5 mJy at 9 GHz. The highest flux densities of 43.0 +/- 0.5 mJy at 5.5 GHz and 29.9 +/- 0.6 mJy at 9 GHz were measured during the flare's decline (MJD 55206.69) which continues towards pre-flare flux densities over the following 6 days. Imaging of pre-flare data reveals steady structure including two stable components within 15 arc-seconds of the core which we believe may be persistent emission regions within the system's outflows, one of which is likely associated with the system's counter-jet. Unlike past observations carried out in the system's brighter epochs, we observe no significant structural variations within \approx 3 arc-seconds of the core's position. Model subtraction and difference mapping provide evidence for variations slightly further from the core: up to 5" away. If related to the observed core flare, then these variations suggest very high outflow velocities with Γ > 35, though this can be reduced significantly if we invoke phase delays of at least one orbital period. Interestingly, the strongest structural variations appear to the north west of the core, opposite to the strongest arcsec-scale emission historically. We discuss the implications of this behaviour, including the possibility of precession or a kinked approaching jet.

description: Tracking the volume of keywords in Internet searches, message boards, or Tweets has provided an alternative for following or predicting associations between popular interest or disease incidences. Here, we extend that research by examining the role of e-communications among day traders and their collective understanding of the market. Our study introduces a general method that focuses on bundles of words that behave differently from daily communication routines, and uses original data covering the content of instant messages among all day traders at a trading firm over a 40-month period. Analyses show that two word bundles convey traders' understanding of same day market events and potential next day market events. We find that when market volatility is high, traders' communications are dominated by same day events, and when volatility is low, communications are dominated by next day events. We show that the stronger the traders' attention to either same day or next day events, the higher their collective trading performance. We conclude that e-communication among traders is a product of mass collaboration over diverse viewpoints that embodies unique information about their weak or strong understanding of the market.

description: Using models to simulate and analyze biological networks requires principled approaches to parameter estimation and model discrimination. We use Bayesian and Monte Carlo methods to recover the full probability distributions of free parameters (initial protein concentrations and rate constants) for mass-action models of receptor-mediated cell death. The width of the individual parameter distributions is largely determined by non-identifiability but covariation among parameters, even those that are poorly determined, encodes essential information. Knowledge of joint parameter distributions makes it possible to compute the uncertainty of model-based predictions whereas ignoring it (e.g., by treating parameters as a simple list of values and variances) yields nonsensical predictions. Computing the Bayes factor from joint distributions yields the odds ratio (~20-fold) for competing ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ apoptosis models having different numbers of parameters. Our results illustrate how Bayesian approaches to model calibration and discrimination combined with single-cell data represent a generally useful and rigorous approach to discriminate between competing hypotheses in the face of parametric and topological uncertainty.

description: © 2020 Elsevier B.V. Background: The efficacy of foot orthoses in reducing patellofemoral pain (PFP) is well documented; however, the mechanisms by which foot orthoses modulate pain and function are poorly understood. Research question: This within-subject study investigated the immediate effects of foot orthoses on lower limb kinematics and angular impulses during level walking and stair ambulation in individuals with persistent PFP. Methods: Forty-two participants with persistent PFP (≥3 months duration) underwent quantitative gait analysis during level walking, stair ascent and stair descent while using: (i) standard running sandals (control); and (ii) standard running sandals fitted with prefabricated foot orthoses. Hip, knee, and ankle joint kinematics and angular impulses were calculated and statistically analyzed using paired t-tests (p < 0.05). Results: Relative to the control condition, foot orthoses use was associated with small but significant decreases in maximum ankle inversion angles during walking (mean difference [95% confidence interval]: −1.00° [−1.48 to −0.53]), stair ascent (−1.06° [−1.66 to −0.45]) and stair decent (−0.94° [−1.40 to −0.49]). Foot orthoses were also associated with decreased ankle eversion impulse during walking (−9.8Nms/kg [−12.7 to −6.8]), and decreased ankle dorsiflexion and eversion impulse during stair ascent (−67.6Nms/kg [−100.7 to −34.6] and −17.5Nms/kg [−23.6 to −11.4], respectively) and descent (−50.4Nms/kg [−77.2 to −23.6] and −11.6Nms/kg [−15.6 to −7.5], respectively). Ankle internal rotation impulse decreased when participants ascended stairs with foot orthoses (−3.3Nms/kg [−5.4 to −1.3]). Limited changes were observed at the knee and hip. Significance: In individuals with persistent PFP, small immediate changes in kinematics and angular impulses – primarily at the ankle – were observed when foot orthoses were worn during walking or stair ambulation. The clinical implications of these small changes, as well as the longer-term effects of foot orthoses on lower limb biomechanics, are yet to be determined.

Origin of TeV Galactic Cosmic Rays

description: We consider a possibility of identification of sources of cosmic rays (CR) of the energy above 1 TeV via observation of degree-scale extended gamma-ray emission which traces the locations of recent sources in the Galaxy. Such emission in the energy band above 100 GeV is produced by CR nuclei and electrons released by the sources and spreading into the interstellar medium. We use the data from the Fermi gamma-ray telescope to locate the degree-scale 100 GeV gamma-ray sources. We find that the number of such sources and their overall power match to those expected when CRs injection events happen every ~100 yr in portions of ~1e50 erg. We find that most of the sources are associated to pulsars with spin down age less than ~30 kyr and hence to the recent supernova explosions. This supports the hypothesis of supernova origin of Galactic CRs. We notice that the degree-scale extended emission does not surround shell-like supernova remnants without pulsars. Based on this observation, we argue that the presence of the pulsar is essential for the CR acceleration process. We expect that a significant fraction of the degree-scale sources should be detectable as extended sources with km3-scale neutrino detectors.
