description: Road traffic accidents are a big concern for people all over the world. This study has been organized in order to establish a baseline of road accidents in the rural areas near to the national road n°4 (RN4) and to improve assistance to the victims from the scene of the accident until their admission to the hospital emergency room.

Methods: This is a retrospective and descriptive study carried out during the period from January 1st 2011 to December 31st 2012 involving 299 victims from 165 different accidents. Patients were admitted to the emergency room (SUSI) of PZAGA university hospital.

Results: Injuries caused by road accident on RN4 amounted to 24,96% of emergency total admission due to road traffic injuries. Sex ratio was 1,67 and the 15-29 age group was most affected. More than half of the victims (55.85%) were occupants of the car. The 2 wheels were involved in 42.42% of accidents. Only 21.07% of victims received pre-hospital care in peripheral health centers of the public sector (14 CSB, 2 CHD, 2CHRR) or the private one. Doctors and nurses in these centers have not benefited from specific training sessions. More than 80% of patients did not receive proper care. The average time of transport was 4 hours 18minutes and only 4.68% of patients benefited from ambulance transport. The AIS 3 to 6 score found in 22,30% of the patients. The case fatality rate was 3.01%. Setting up a system of pre-hospital care adapted to the local realities turns out to be absolutely necessary and should be included among the priorities of the Malagasy state.

description: From a theoretical study of the mechanical response of jammed materials comprising frictionless and overdamped particles under oscillatory shear, we find that the material becomes soft, and the loss modulus remains finite even in an absorbing state where any irreversible plastic deformation does not exist. The trajectories of the particles in this region exhibit hysteresis loops. We succeed in clarifying the origin of the softening of the material and the residual loss modulus with the aid of Fourier analysis. We also clarify the roles of the yielding point in the softening to distinguish the plastic deformation from reversible deformation in the absorbing state.

description: Friction-driven static electrification is familiar and fundamental in daily life, industry, and technology, but its basics have long been unknown and have continually perplexed scientists from ancient Greece to the modern high-tech era. Despite its simple manifestation, triboelectric charging is believed to be very complex because of the unresolvable interfacial interaction between two rubbing materials. Here, we for the first time reveal a simple physics of triboelectric charging and triboelectric series based on friction-originated thermoelectric charging effects at the interface, characterized by the material density ($ρ$), specific heat (c), thermal conductivity (k), and Seebeck coefficient (S) of each material. We demonstrate that energy dissipational heat at the interface induces temperature variations in the materials and thus develops electrostatic potentials that will initiate thermoelectric charging across the interface. We find that the trends and quantities of triboelectric charging for various polymers, metals, semiconductors, and even lightning clouds are simply governed by the triboelectric factor $ξ=S/\sqrt{ρck}$. The triboelectric figure-of-merit is expressed with the triboelectric power K=$ξ\sqrt{t/π}$, of which the difference can be maximized up to 1.2 V/W cm$^{-2}$ at the friction time t = 1 s. Our findings will bring significant opportunities for microscopic understanding and management of triboelectricity or static electrification.

description: Intelligent entities such as self-driving vehicles, with their data being processed by machine learning units (MLU), are developing into an intertwined part of networks. These units handle distorted input but their sensitivity to noisy observations varies for different input attributes. Since blind transport of massive data burdens the system, identifying and delivering relevant information to MLUs leads in improved system performance and efficient resource utilization. Here, we study the integer bit allocation problem for quantizing multiple correlated sources providing input of a MLU with a bandwidth constraint. Unlike conventional distance measures between original and quantized input attributes, a new Kullback-Leibler divergence based distortion measure is defined to account for accuracy of MLU decisions. The proposed criterion is applicable to many practical cases with no prior knowledge on data statistics and independent of selected MLU instance. Here, we examine an inverted pendulum on a cart with a neural network controller assuming scalar quantization. Simulation results present a significant performance gain, particularly for regions with smaller available bandwidth. Furthermore, the pattern of successful rate allocations demonstrates higher relevancy of some features for the MLU and the need to quantize them with higher accuracy.

description: Thermalization is a ubiquitous process of statistical physics, in which details of few-body observables are washed out in favor of a featureless steady state. Even in isolated quantum many-body systems, limited to reversible dynamics, thermalization typically prevails. However, in these systems, there is another possibility: many-body localization (MBL) can result in preservation of a non-thermal state. While disorder has long been considered an essential ingredient for this phenomenon, recent theoretical work has suggested that a quantum many-body system with a uniformly increasing field -- but no disorder -- can also exhibit MBL, resulting in `Stark MBL.' Here we realize Stark MBL in a trapped-ion quantum simulator and demonstrate its key properties: halting of thermalization and slow propagation of correlations. Tailoring the interactions between ionic spins in an effective field gradient, we directly observe their microscopic equilibration for a variety of initial states, and we apply single-site control to measure correlations between separate regions of the spin chain. Further, by engineering a varying gradient, we create a disorder-free system with coexisting long-lived thermalized and nonthermal regions. The results demonstrate the unexpected generality of MBL, with implications about the fundamental requirements for thermalization and with potential uses in engineering long-lived non-equilibrium quantum matter.

description: We perform a bifurcation analysis of the steady states of Rayleigh--Bénard convection with no-slip boundary conditions in two dimensions using a numerical method called deflated continuation. By combining this method with an initialisation strategy based on the eigenmodes of the conducting state, we are able to discover multiple solutions to this non-linear problem, including disconnected branches of the bifurcation diagram, without the need for any prior knowledge of the solutions. One of the disconnected branches we find contains an S-shaped curve with hysteresis, which is the origin of a flow pattern that may be related to the dynamics of flow reversals in the turbulent regime. Linear stability analysis is also performed to analyse the steady and unsteady regimes of the solutions in the parameter space and to characterise the type of instabilities.

description: We consider an input-to-response (ItR) system characterized by (1) parameterized input with a known probability distribution and (2) stochastic ItR function with heteroscedastic randomness. Our purpose is to efficiently quantify the extreme response probability when the ItR function is expensive to evaluate. The problem setup arises often in physics and engineering problems, with randomness in ItR coming from either intrinsic uncertainties (say, as a solution to a stochastic equation) or additional (critical) uncertainties that are not incorporated in a low-dimensional input parameter space (as a result of dimension reduction applied to the original high-dimensional input space). To reduce the required sampling numbers, we develop a sequential Bayesian experimental design method leveraging the variational heteroscedastic Gaussian process regression (VHGPR) to account for the stochastic ItR, along with a new criterion to select the next-best samples sequentially. The validity of our new method is first tested in two synthetic problems with the stochastic ItR functions defined artificially. Finally, we demonstrate the application of our method to an engineering problem of estimating the extreme ship motion probability in irregular waves, where the uncertainty in ItR naturally originates from standard wave group parameterization, which reduces the original high-dimensional wave field into a two-dimensional parameter space.

description: In the wake of the 2020 COVID-19 epidemic, much work has been performed on the development of mathematical models for the simulation of the epidemic, and of disease models generally. Most works follow the susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) compartmental framework, modeling the epidemic with a system of ordinary differential equations. Alternative formulations using a partial differential equation (PDE) to incorporate both spatial and temporal resolution have also been introduced, with their numerical results showing potentially powerful descriptive and predictive capacity. In the present work, we introduce a new variation to such models by using delay differential equations (DDEs). The dynamics of many infectious diseases, including COVID-19, exhibit delays due to incubation periods and related phenomena. Accordingly, DDE models allow for a natural representation of the problem dynamics, in addition to offering advantages in terms of computational time and modeling, as they eliminate the need for additional, difficult-to-estimate, compartments (such as exposed individuals) to incorporate time delays. Here, we introduce a DDE epidemic model in both an ordinary- and partial differential equation framework. We present a series of mathematical results assessing the stability of the formulation. We then perform several numerical experiments, validating both the mathematical results and establishing model's ability to reproduce measured data on realistic problems.

description: In large data centers, storage nodes are organized in racks, and the cross-rack transmission dominates the bandwidth cost. For the repair of single node failures, codes achieving the tradeoff between the storage redundancy and cross-rack repair bandwidth are called rack-aware regenerating codes (RRCs). In this work, we give the first explicit construction of RRCs with the minimum repair bandwidth (i.e., the cross-rack bandwidth equals the storage size per node). Our construction applies to all admissible parameters and has the lowest sub-packetization level. Moreover, the underlying finite fields are of size comparable to the number of storage nodes, which makes our codes more implementable in practice. Finally, for the convenience of practical use, we also establish a transformation to convert our codes into systematic codes.

description: The present search focus on the mechanism of gravitationally influenced particle creation (PC) in higher dimensional Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW) cosmological models with a cosmological constant (CC). The solution of the corresponding field equations is obtained by assuming a periodically varying deceleration parameter (PVDP) i.e. $q= m \cos kt - 1$ [Shen and Zhao, Chin. Phys. Lett., 31 (2014) 010401] which gives a scale factor $a(t) = a_0 \left[\tan \left(\frac{kt}{2}\right)\right]^\frac{1}{m}$, where $a_0$ is the scale factor at the current epoch. Here $k$ displays the PVDP periodicity and can be regarded as a parameter of cosmic frequency, $m$ is an enhancement element that increases the PVDP peak. Here, we investigated the periodic variation behavior of few quantities such as the deceleration parameter $q$, the energy density $ρ$, PC rate $ψ$, the entropy $S$, the CC $Λ$, Newton's gravitational constant $G$ and discuss their physical significance. We have also explored the density parameter, proper distance, angular distance, luminosity distance, apparent magnitude, age of the universe, and the look-back time with redshift $z$ and have observed the role of particle formation in-universe evolution in early and late times. The periodic nature of various physical parameters is also discussed which are supporting the recent observations.

description:
Experiences within one's social environment shape neural sensitivity to threatening and rewarding social cues. However, in racialized societies like the USA, youth from minoritized racial/ethnic backgrounds can have different experiences and perceptions within neighborhoods that share similar characteristics. The current study examined how neighborhood disadvantage intersects with racial/ethnic background in relation to neural sensitivity to social cues. A racially diverse (59 Hispanic/Latine, 48 White, 37 Black/African American, 15 multi-racial and 6 other) and primarily low to middle socioeconomic status sample of 165 adolescents (88 female; Mage = 12.89) completed a social incentive delay task while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning. We tested for differences in the association between neighborhood disadvantage and neural responses to social threat and reward cues across racial/ethnic groups. For threat processing, compared to White youth, neighborhood disadvantage was related to greater neural activation in regions involved in salience detection (e.g. anterior cingulate cortex) for Black youth and regions involved in mentalizing (e.g. temporoparietal junction) for Latine youth. For reward processing, neighborhood disadvantage was related to greater brain activation in reward, salience and mentalizing regions for Black youth only. This study offers a novel exploration of diversity within adolescent neural development and important insights into our understanding of how social environments may 'get under the skull' differentially across racial/ethnic groups.

description: Chemical transformations, such as ion exchange, are commonly employed to modify nanocrystal compositions. Yet the mechanisms of these transformations, which often operate far from equilibrium and entail mixing diverse chemical species, remain poorly understood. Here, we explore an idealized model for ion exchange in which a chemical potential drives compositional defects to accumulate at a crystal's surface. These impurities subsequently diffuse inward. We find that the nature of interactions between sites in a compositionally impure crystal strongly impacts exchange trajectories. In particular, elastic deformations which accompany lattice-mismatched species promote spatially modulated patterns in the composition. These same patterns can be produced at equilibrium in core/shell nanocrystals, whose structure mimics transient motifs observed in nonequilibrium trajectories. Moreover, the core of such nanocrystals undergoes a phase transition - from modulated to unstructured - as the thickness or stiffness of the shell is decreased. Our results help explain the varied patterns observed in heterostructured nanocrystals produced by ion exchange and suggest principles for the rational design of compositionally-patterned nanomaterials.

description: We consider a phase-field model for the incompressible flow of two immiscible fluids. This model extends widespread models for two fluid phases by including a third, solid phase, which can evolve due to e.g. precipitation and dissolution. We consider a simple, two-dimensional geometry of a thin strip, which can still be seen as the representation of a single pore throat in a porous medium. Under moderate assumptions on the Peclet number and the capillary number, we investigate the limit case when the ratio between the width and the length of the strip is going to zero. In this way and employing transversal averaging, we derive an upscaled model. The result is a multi-scale model consisting of the upscaled equations for the total flux and the ion transport, while the phase-field equation has to be solved in cell-problems at the pore scale to determine the position of interfaces. We also investigate the sharp-interface limit of the multi-scale model, in which the phase-field parameter approaches 0. The resulting sharp-interface model consists only of Darcy-scale equations, as the cell-problems can be solved explicitly. Notably we find asymptotic consistency, that is the upscaling process and the sharp-interface limit commute. We use numerical results to investigate the validity of the upscaling when discontinuities are formed in the upscaled model.

description: Pipelined NLP systems have largely been superseded by end-to-end neural modeling, yet nearly all commonly-used models still require an explicit tokenization step. While recent tokenization approaches based on data-derived subword lexicons are less brittle than manually engineered tokenizers, these techniques are not equally suited to all languages, and the use of any fixed vocabulary may limit a model's ability to adapt. In this paper, we present CANINE, a neural encoder that operates directly on character sequences, without explicit tokenization or vocabulary, and a pre-training strategy that operates either directly on characters or optionally uses subwords as a soft inductive bias. To use its finer-grained input effectively and efficiently, CANINE combines downsampling, which reduces the input sequence length, with a deep transformer stack, which encodes context. CANINE outperforms a comparable mBERT model by 2.8 F1 on TyDi QA, a challenging multilingual benchmark, despite having 28% fewer model parameters.

description:
In 1903, sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, “. . . for the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color line” (1). In their article, Johnson and colleagues (2) estimate life expectancy at birth in the United States by race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic), sex, and state from 1990 to 2019. The findings add to our growing knowledge of large and persistent racial/ethnic health disparities and changes in disparities during recent stagnation in U.S. life expectancy.

description: Defense-survival mechanisms are activated by innate programming and/or past experience. In families at high risk for depression, if offspring have hyperactive circuitry, are exposed to threatening, unpredictable environments, and have genes that impact their brain plasticity then they could be at a high risk for sustained anxiety, fear and depression. The hyperactive circuitry could  be also transmitted across generations. Defense-survival mechanisms can be studied by measuring the startle reflex, an across species response sensitive to adverse states. We have  shown that being at high risk for depression is associated with cortical thinning in the brain. Depression and  memory changes has also be shown to be associated with cortical thickening.

In a 30 year multi-generational, longitudinal family study of depression  at the fourth wave we conducted startle tests on generation 2 (G2) and generation 3 (G3) individuals who were at either a high or a low familial risk for depression due to generation 1 (G1) having or not having depression.  Our research showed that high- and low-risk groups due to generation 1(G1) having or not having depression differed in their  startle responses delivered in a threatening, unpredictable experimental context (i.e., anticipation of unpleasant airblast ). There was elevated baseline startle in high risk children potentially due to contextual anxiety.

Our primary Aim was to determine if elevated baseline startle was associated with cortical thickness in the brain. Aim 2 was based on exploratory analyses to determine if elevated startle was also associated with memory problems due to the fact that cortical thinning was associated with memory problems.

description: We investigate the numerical artifact known as a carbuncle, in the solution of the shallow water equations. We propose a new Riemann solver that is based on a local measure of the entropy residual and aims to avoid carbuncles while maintaining high accuracy. We propose a new challenging test problem for shallow water codes, consisting of a steady circular hydraulic jump that can be physically unstable. We show that numerical methods are prone to either suppress the instability completely or form carbuncles. We test existing cures for the carbuncle. In our experiments, only the proposed method is able to avoid unphysical carbuncles without suppressing the physical instability.

description: Les stéréotypes de genre ont une influence non négligeable sur les choix d’orientation effectués par les adolescent·e·s à la fin de leur scolarité, ces choix étant à l’origine de la division sexuée du travail. Le but de ce mémoire professionnel est d’étudier l’étendue des stéréotypes de genre au sein d’un établissement secondaire de l’ouest lausannois ainsi que leur influence sur l’intérêt, le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle et les choix d’orientation professionnelle des élèves. Pour cela, il·elle·s ont répondu à un questionnaire composé de questions ouvertes et fermées. Les principaux résultats de cette étude ont démontré que l’intérêt pour les différentes branches scolaires diffère en fonction du genre et qu’il est corrélé avec le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle. De plus, bien que les élèves semblent avoir « intégré » la notion d’égalité d’accès et de capacités face aux professions, leurs choix d’orientation personnels reflètent néanmoins une vision très stéréotypée. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance de la question du genre et de l’égalité dans le milieu scolaire. Pour favoriser un monde professionnel mixte et égalitaire, il est de ce fait indispensable que de nouvelles pratiques pédagogiques soient mises en place, tant dans le domaine de la formation des enseignant·e·s qu’au sein des établissements scolaires, et ce en passant par les autorités.
Language, its technologies and sustainability

description: This paper argues that there is a crucial link between language and sustainability and explores in particular how the evolution of certain characteristics and functions of human language are related to it. The emphasis is on how the principal technologies of language - speech and writing - are related to our ways of being and doing, reflecting on and acting in the world and the consequences of this relationship in terms of the sustainability of our existence. The emergence of writing and its correlation with nominal language are seen as particularly significant developments in how we represent reality and thereby risk following unsustainable pathways.

description: Ultrasound computed tomography techniques have the potential to provide clinicians with 3D, quantitative and high-resolution information of both soft and hard tissues such as the breast or the adult human brain. Their practical application requires accurate modelling of the acquisition setup: the spatial location, orientation, and impulse response of each ultrasound transducer. However, existing calibration methods fail to accurately characterise these transducers unless their size can be considered negligible when compared to the dominant wavelength, which reduces signal-to-noise ratios below usable levels in the presence of high-contrast tissues such as the skull. In this paper, we introduce a methodology that can simultaneously estimate the location, orientation, and impulse response of the ultrasound transducers in a single calibration. We do this by extending spatial response identification, an algorithm that we have recently proposed to estimate transducer impulse responses. Our proposed methodology replaces the transducers in the acquisition device with a surrogate model whose effective response matches the experimental data by fitting a numerical model of wave propagation. This results in a flexible and robust calibration procedure that can accurately predict the behaviour of the ultrasound acquisition device without ever having to know where the real transducers are or their individual impulse response. Experimental results using a ring acquisition system show that spatial response identification produces calibrations of significantly higher quality than standard methodologies across all transducers, both in transmission and in reception. Experimental full-waveform inversion reconstructions of a tissue-mimicking phantom demonstrate that spatial response identification generates more accurate reconstructions than those produced with standard calibration techniques.

description:
Life course intervention research requires a thorough understanding of complex factors that interact to affect health over time. Partnerships with families and communities are critical to understanding these interconnections and identifying effective interventions. Here, family and community engagement are presented, aligned with the 5 phases of the life course intervention research framework: planning, design, implementation, evaluation, and translation. During planning, the researcher considers their own starting position and what they need to learn from families and the community. The design phase produces a plan for family engagement that is layered, iterative, and includes qualitative methods that will inform life course modeling and the research process. The implementation phase includes administrative actions such as creating opportunities for contributions and providing compensation to family and community partners. The evaluation phase requires measurement of the quality of partnerships with families and community and includes making adjustments as indicated to improve these partnerships. This phase also calls for reflection on the impact these partnerships had on the intervention, including if they made a difference for those being served. During translation, the researcher works with all partners, including families and communities, about follow up steps toward project continuation, replication, or completion. The researcher also works collaboratively in determining how the study results are shared. A holistic approach to health over the life course that is designed and executed in partnership with families and their community can generate research findings with broad practical applicability and strong translational potential.

description: Peterzil and Steinhorn proved that if a group $G$ definable in an $o$-minimal structure is not definably compact, then $G$ contains a definable torsion-free subgroup of dimension one. We prove here a $p$-adic analogue of the Peterzil-Steinhorn theorem, in the special case of abelian groups. Let $G$ be an abelian group definable in a $p$-adically closed field $M$. If $G$ is not definably compact then there is a definable subgroup $H$ of dimension one which is not definably compact. In a future paper we will generalize this to non-abelian $G$.

description:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to describe how the language diversity (i.e., the within-group variability in dual-language skills) of Latino dual-language learner (DLL) preschoolers was related to their science readiness skills and (b) to describe the importance of language of science instruction for Spanish-dominant children. METHOD: Latino DLL children's (N = 161; ages 3-5 years) language skills were assessed in various domains of both Spanish and English, and then their science readiness skills were assessed in their dominant language. Using a latent profile analysis, profiles were generated to describe the diversity of DLLs' bilingual skills. These profiles were used as independent variables in a series of hierarchical regressions to predict children's science readiness skills. With the Spanish-dominant subsample, an interaction term was created between profile membership and language of science instruction to determine how language of instruction contributes to the relation between language and science readiness skills. RESULTS: English-dominant children and children with high and balanced dual-language skills had the highest science readiness skills, and instruction in two languages was related to higher science readiness skills of certain Spanish-dominant children. Results underscore the linguistic heterogeneity of Latino DLL children and its importance for school success and bilingual instruction initiatives. CONCLUSION: Findings provide evidence for the within-group variability in the dual-language skills of Latino DLL preschool children relating to differences in their science readiness skills, as well as for how bilingual instruction is related to science readiness skill.
