description: The pathogenesis involving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the context of chronic HBV (CHB) virus infection requires to be understood for developing improved modalities of diagnosis and treatment. We retrospectively investigated the association between NAFLD and CHB virus infection in the context of liver fibrosis. Among the 522 consecutive CHB patients who underwent transient elastography between years 2013 and 2016, we studied 455 subjects in the current investigation. Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) scores were generally higher in patients with steatosis and fibrosis or cirrhosis. Antiviral treatment had significantly reduced the hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load. Other liver function markers showed a significant positive correlation with both CAP and LSM scores. Plasma IL-13 was independently associated with increased CAP score where every increase of 1 unit of IL-13 was associated with an increase in CAP score by 0.98 unit. CCL11 was independently associated with LSM with every increase of CCL11 by a unit that, in turn, was associated with an increase of LSM score. We found that there was a high concurrence of NAFLD among patients with CHB virus infection. The presence of metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammation in CHB virus-infected patients were two independent factors that led to the progression of liver cirrhosis, with IL-13 playing the key role in linking the metabolic with the inflammatory components.
The political construction of accountability keywords
Creators: name: Fox, Jonathan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Terminology in the accountability field is ambiguous, encompassing both top-down, technocratic control initiatives and bottom‑up efforts to challenge the abuse of power and promote equity. The main proposition is that communicating accountability strategies should rely on conceptual and cross-cultural translation rather than awkward attempts at direct linguistic translation. To illustrate how accountability keywords are both politically constructed and contested, this article briefly reflects on the origins, circulation, and transformation of six relevant terms: transparency, the right to know, whistle-blower, advocacy, openwashing, and social accountability – including reflections from accountability advocates from Pakistan, Guatemala, and the Philippines. The conclusion calls for a two-track approach to communicate public accountability strategies, which involves (1) searching within popular cultures to find existing terms or phrases that can be repurposed, and (2) inventing new discourses that communicate ideas about public accountability that resonate with culturally grounded common-sense understandings.

description: Using a multiple-image reconstruction method applied to a harmonically trapped Bose gas, we determine the equation of state of uniform matter across the critical transition point, within the local density approximation. Our experimental results provide the canonical description of pressure as a function of the specific volume, emphasizing the dramatic deviations from the ideal Bose gas behavior caused by interactions. They also provide clear evidence for the non-monotonic behavior with temperature of the chemical potential, which is a consequence of superfluidity. The measured thermodynamic quantities are compared to mean-field predictions available for the interacting Bose gas. The limits of applicability of the local density approximation near the critical point are also discussed, focusing on the behavior of the isothermal compressibility.

description: Community health workers (CHWs) are frequently put forward as a remedy for lack of health system capacity, including challenges associated with health service coverage and with low community engagement in the health system, and expected to enhance or embody health system accountability. During a ‘think in’, held in June of 2017, a diverse group of practitioners and researchers discussed the topic of CHWs and their possible roles in a larger “accountability ecosystem.” This jointly authored commentary resulted from our deliberations. While CHWs are often conceptualized as cogs in a mechanistic health delivery system, at the end of the day, CHWs are people embedded in families, communities, and the health system. CHWs’ social position and professional role influence how they are treated and trusted by the health sector and by community members, as well as when, where, and how they can exercise agency and promote accountability. To that end, we put forward several propositions for further conceptual development and research related to the question of CHWs and accountability.

description: All immunological methods are vulnerable to different kinds of interference. The purpose of this work was to study the cause and frequency of method-dependent interference in the Roche thyroid immunoassays. Serum samples with discordant thyroid function tests (TFT) were selected from samples sent to the Hormone Laboratory, Oslo University Hospital from June 2013 to September 2018. We identified 93 patients with discordant pathological TFT when analysed with the Roche methods and normal results when analysed with alternative methods. 42 of these samples were sent to Roche Diagnostics (Germany) for investigation of the interfering substance. Roche found interference to be caused by the presence of endogenous anti-streptavidin antibodies (ASA) (34 of 42 patients), ruthenium or the idiotype of the ruthenium labelled antibody (3 of 42 patients) and mouse antigens (1 of 42 patients). Method-dependent interference was estimated to affect 0.37% of the patients investigated in our laboratory. Interference due to the presence of endogenous ASA were further explored in other (non-thyroid) immunoassays by comparing analyte levels before and after pre-adsorption of the patients’ sera with streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads. An underestimation of hormone levels was observed in sandwich immunoassays, while an overestimation was found in competitive assays. Method-dependent interference in Roche thyroid immunoassays is caused mainly by ASA and is not a very rare phenomenon. Misleading results may lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate medical treatment. The supplier of the assay should be alerted when the available alternative methodology reveals method-dependent errors.

This allowed us to determine the extragalactic nature of this X-ray source, which is a Type 2 Seyfert galaxy at redshift z = 0.068 +- 0.001. This result points to the fact that 2MASX J14585116-1652223 hosts one of the very few Active Galactic Nuclei detected so far in the hard X-ray band above 20 keV, in particular at z > 0.05. Other optical and X-ray properties of this object are also discussed.

description: Heterogeneous Face Recognition (HFR) is a task that matches faces across two different domains such as visible light (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), or the sketch domain. Due to the lack of databases, HFR methods usually exploit the pre-trained features on a large-scale visual database that contain general facial information. However, these pre-trained features cause performance degradation due to the texture discrepancy with the visual domain. With this motivation, we propose a graph-structured module called Relational Graph Module (RGM) that extracts global relational information in addition to general facial features. Because each identity's relational information between intra-facial parts is similar in any modality, the modeling relationship between features can help cross-domain matching. Through the RGM, relation propagation diminishes texture dependency without losing its advantages from the pre-trained features. Furthermore, the RGM captures global facial geometrics from locally correlated convolutional features to identify long-range relationships. In addition, we propose a Node Attention Unit (NAU) that performs node-wise recalibration to concentrate on the more informative nodes arising from relation-based propagation. Furthermore, we suggest a novel conditional-margin loss function (C-softmax) for the efficient projection learning of the embedding vector in HFR. The proposed method outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on five HFR databases. Furthermore, we demonstrate performance improvement on three backbones because our module can be plugged into any pre-trained face recognition backbone to overcome the limitations of a small HFR database.

description: Charles is not a relative of H Swatten but he is the relative of Richard James East who owns the medal, 1914-15 star awarded to H Swatten SE-6631 A.V.C.

I believe that his name was Harry Swatton, his medal card was marked with 'correct surname Swatton' and that the AVC was in fact the RAVC the Royal Army Veterinary Corps. Harry was in the AVC regimental number SE/6631 as a Private and later as a Corporal. He served in the Western Front, France & and Flanders. In 1918 he was listed as sent to class Z (this was a reserve contingent of previously enlisted soldiers now discharged).

Harry was born 9th July 1885 in Liddington, Wiltshire to Henry & Fanny Swatton who was a groom. Harry was not the only son who went into the RAVC, his younger brother Richard also served but was killed in France 1916. In 1901 they were both grooms and their father was an Ostler (Groom).

Harry survived the war and in 1939 was an Office Caretaker living in Swindon with his wife Ivy. He died in 1961 still living in Swindon.
General Considerations on the Finite-Size Corrections for Coulomb Systems in the Debye-Huckel Regime

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study the statistical mechanics of classical Coulomb systems in a low coupling regime (Debye-Huckel regime) in a confined geometry with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use a method recently developed by the authors which relates the grand partition function of a Coulomb system in a confined geometry with a certain regularization of the determinant of the Laplacian on that geometry with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We study several examples of confining geometry in two and three dimensions and semi-confined geometries where the system is confined only in one or two directions of the space. We also generalize the method to study systems confined in arbitrary geometries with smooth boundary. We find a relation between the expansion for small argument of the heat kernel of the Laplacian and the large-size expansion of the grand potential of the Coulomb system. This allow us to find the finite-size expansion of the grand potential of the system in general. We recover known results for the bulk grand potential (in two and three dimensions) and the surface tension (for two dimensional systems). We find the surface tension for three dimensional systems. For two dimensional systems our general calculation of the finite-size expansion gives a proof of the existence a universal logarithmic finite-size correction predicted some time ago, at least in the low coupling regime. For three dimensional systems we obtain a prediction for the perimeter correction to the grand potential of a confined system.

description: Reginald is the great uncle of Roger. He was registered as John C Reginald Hawkins at birth but also had a second birth registered with the name Reginald Hawkins.

He was born 20th September 1894 in Wiltshire.

The family believe he was in the Mounted Regiment at Devizes and served in the first wave. He fought at Mons where he was wounded. He was then sent to India for Garrison duties (the family believe he was court marshalled) where he was bought out of the army in 1915. He had a tattoo of a crucifix on his back.

He was awarded 3 medals:
1914 Star with bar 5th Aug - 22nd Nov 1914
1914- 1918 Medal
The Great War for Civilisation 1914 - 1918

The family also believe he had a long service tape. He moved to Gloucestershire and in 1939 he was a Bus Driver. Reginald died in Bournemouth Dorset 14th February 1981 aged 86 years.

The influence of rejection sensitivity and fear of negative evaluation on emotion recognition
Creators: name: Barbieri, Vincent A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Findings on emotion recognition abilities among the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) population are mixed. Rejection sensitivity (e.g., when a person anxiously expects, readily perceives, and frequently overreacts to rejection), a core feature of BPD, and fear of negative evaluation, a related construct, are hypothesized to play a key role in predicting emotion recognition abilities. The present study primed individuals with feelings of rejection and negative evaluation and then measured emotion recognition accuracy. It also explored the usefulness of a new dynamic stimulus for emotion recognition. Results indicate that rejection sensitivity and fear of negative evaluation did not significantly predict emotion recognition abilities. However, interaction results revealed fear of negative evaluation buffered against the negative impacts of emotion dysregulation, such that individuals high in fear of negative evaluation were significantly less impacted when recognizing fear in others than those low in fear of negative evaluation as emotion dysregulation increased. The findings suggest fear of negative evaluation may help protect against the negative impact of emotion dysregulation on emotion recognition accuracy. Results from the dynamic stimulus provided preliminary evidence to support this task as a measure of emotion recognition ability.

description: We have analyzed the variability and spectral evolution of the prototype dwarf nova system SS Cygni using RXTE data and AAVSO observations. A series of pointed RXTE/PCA observations allow us to trace the evolution of the X-ray spectrum of SS Cygni in unprecedented detail, while 6 years of optical AAVSO and RXTE/ASM light curves show long-term patterns. Employing a technique in which we stack the X-ray flux over multiple outbursts, phased according to the optical light curve, we investigate the outburst morphology. We find that the 3-12 keV X-ray flux is suppressed during optical outbursts, a behavior seen previously, but only in a handful of cycles. The several outbursts of SS Cygni observed with the more sensitive RXTE/PCA also show a depression of the X-rays during optical outburst. We quantify the time lags between the optical and X-ray outbursts, and the timescales of the X-ray recovery from outburst. The optical light curve of SS Cygni exhibits brief anomalous outbursts. During these events the hard X-rays and optical flux increase together. The long-term data suggest that the X-rays decline between outburst. Our results are in general agreement with modified disk instability models (DIM), which invoke a two-component accretion flow consisting of a cool optically thick accretion disk truncated at an inner radius, and a quasi-spherical hot corona-like flow extending to the surface of the white dwarf. We discuss our results in the framework of one such model, involving the evaporation of the inner part of the optically thick accretion disk, proposed by Meyer & Meyer-Hofmeister (1994).

description: De-Rating or Vulnerability Factors are a major feature of failure analysis efforts mandated by today's Functional Safety requirements. Determining the Functional De-Rating of sequential logic cells typically requires computationally intensive fault-injection simulation campaigns. In this paper a new approach is proposed which uses Machine Learning to estimate the Functional De-Rating of individual flip-flops and thus, optimising and enhancing fault injection efforts. Therefore, first, a set of per-instance features is described and extracted through an analysis approach combining static elements (cell properties, circuit structure, synthesis attributes) and dynamic elements (signal activity). Second, reference data is obtained through first-principles fault simulation approaches. Finally, one part of the reference dataset is used to train the Machine Learning algorithm and the remaining is used to validate and benchmark the accuracy of the trained tool. The intended goal is to obtain a trained model able to provide accurate per-instance Functional De-Rating data for the full list of circuit instances, an objective that is difficult to reach using classical methods. The presented methodology is accompanied by a practical example to determine the performance of various Machine Learning models for different training sizes.

description: Robert (Bob) was the grandfather of Robert Arthington. He was born 24th April 1898 in to Benjamin and Henrietta Arthington a Wool Sorter in Bradford Yorkshire. Robert joined up when he was 16 years old but actually got his call up papers when he was 18 and was already recovering from his injuries.

He was a Private in the Prince of Wales Own (West Yorkshire regiment) regimental numbers 3859 & 241314. He had enlisted 4th January 1915 serving in France. He was discharged as no longer fit to fight in March 1918 due to having received a gunshot wound to his right knee which he received in April 1917 and the shrapnel remained. The family received a letter to say he had been injured in action twice.

Robert went on to marry Janey Osborne in 1920. He worked at the Leather Mercery Warehouse. He died in December 1995 aged 97. The grandson Robert has photos of his grandfather relating to his training and service in France. He also has letters which have been passed down to him.
Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Caregiver Responses to Youth Media Exposure (CRYME)
Creators: name: De Simone Irace, Carla
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The current study evaluates the psychometric properties of a measure of caregivers’ behaviors in relation to youths’ exposure and response to violent news. Using data from caregivers (N = 350) recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk, a confirmatory factor analysis, an assessment of concurrent and discriminant validity, and a two-week test-retest reliability of the Caregiver Responses to Youth Media Exposure (CRYME) were performed. Results support a three-factor structure with scales reflecting caregivers reassuring a child of his/her safety, limiting access to violent news, and encouraging safety behaviors by instilling fear of situations covered in the media. Concurrent and discriminant validity of the three scales were supported. Test-retest reliability was acceptable for two of the scales. The revised CRYME is a valid and reliable measure that can be used to identify caregiver practices for regulating violent news consumption and/or buffering its impact following violent/tragic events.

description: In the current scenario nanoparticles (NPs) have gained a breathtaking impetus due to their multidimensional applications in varied fields. In the present effort, biogenic synthesis of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) was carried out using aqueous extract of dried powder of Emblica officinalis (Amla). Physicochemical characterization of nanoparticles was carried out via UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) wherein the particles were found to be quasi spherical and with a size ranging between 3 and 11 nm. The ZnO nanoparticles exhibited significant antibacterial activity against bacteria as Streptococcus pyogenes MTCC 442, Bacillus cereus MTCC 1272, Escherichia coli MTCC 1687 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 4673. The nanoparticles displayed high anti-biofilm activity toward all the bacterial strains, when tested against three different base materials viz. glass, plastic and metal (Aluminum). Further, the nanoparticle treatment of bacterial cells caused changes in their cell membrane permeability, leading to leakage of nucleic acid from the bacterial cells, thereby defining it as the most probable mechanism for their anti-biofilm potential.

description: The concept of neutral evolutionary networks being a significant factor in evolutionary dynamics was first proposed by Huynen {\em et al.} about 7 years ago. In one sense, the principle is easy to state -- because most mutations to an organism are deleterious, one would expect that neutral mutations that don't affect the phenotype will have disproportionately greater representation amongst successor organisms than one would expect if each mutation was equally likely. So it was with great surprise that I noted neutral mutations being very rare in a visualisation of phylogenetic trees generated in {\em Tierra}, since I already knew that there was a significant amount of neutrality in the Tierra genotype-phenotype map. The paper reports on an investigation into this mystery.

description: We have studied the spin glass behaviour of non-superconducting La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$Cu$_{0.95}$Zn$_{0.05}$O$_4$ ($x=0.10-0.22$). As in the superconducting analogues of these samples the spin glass transition temperature $T_g$ decreases with increasing $x$, and vanishes at $x=0.19$. A local enhancement in $T_g$ at $x=0.12$ is also observed and attributed to stripe ordering. The disappearance of $T_g$ for $x\geq0.19$ is discussed in terms of a quantum phase transition.

description: The current study evaluates the psychometric properties of a measure of caregivers’ behaviors in relation to youths’ exposure and response to violent news. Using data from caregivers (N = 350) recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk, a confirmatory factor analysis, an assessment of concurrent and discriminant validity, and a two-week test-retest reliability of the Caregiver Responses to Youth Media Exposure (CRYME) were performed. Results support a three-factor structure with scales reflecting caregivers reassuring a child of his/her safety, limiting access to violent news, and encouraging safety behaviors by instilling fear of situations covered in the media. Concurrent and discriminant validity of the three scales were supported. Test-retest reliability was acceptable for two of the scales. The revised CRYME is a valid and reliable measure that can be used to identify caregiver practices for regulating violent news consumption and/or buffering its impact following violent/tragic events.

description: Charles is the grandson of Richard James East. Richard was born in 8th September 1874 in Wallingford, Berkshire to William & Jane East a Shoe Maker.

Richard was a career soldier who had first enlisted in 1891 in the Royal Regiment of Artillery. From this previous time in the army he had regiment number 347361. He married at Rodbourne Cheney in 1903.

He re-enlisted in January 1915 having been a General Labourer. He was in the Royal Engineers, Transport Branch regiment number 64800. He served in France, was twice wounded and was in hospital and convalescence in Scotland.

He was awarded the following medals:
Kings South African with bars 1901 & 1902
Queens South African with bars Transvaal, Orange Free State and Cape Colony
1914-15 Star
1914-1918 Medal
The Great War for Civilisation 1914-1919

In 1939 Richard is a Boiler Makers helper living with his wife and family in Swindon. Charles brought in a photo of Richard in India, he is seated on the far left. Another photo was taken in South Africa and although the family know Richard is in the photograph they are not sure which one he is. He also brought in a written history of Richard James East.

Richard died in 1954 aged 79 in Swindon, Wiltshire.

description: Fluctuations in the fluorescence from macroscopic ensembles of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots have the spectral form of 1/f noise. The measured power spectral density reflects the fluorescence intermittency of individual dots with power-law distributions of "on" and "off" times, and can thus serve as a simple method for characterizing such blinking behavior.

description: A thermostable bacterial lipase from Geobacillus zalihae was expressed in a novel yeast Pichia sp. strain SO. The preliminary expression was too low and discourages industrial production. This study sought to investigate the optimum conditions for T1 lipase production in Pichia sp. strain SO. Seven medium conditions were investigated and optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Five responding conditions namely; temperature, inoculum size, incubation time, culture volume and agitation speed observed through Plackett–Burman Design (PBD) method had a significant effect on T1 lipase production. The medium conditions were optimized using Box–Behnken Design (BBD). Investigations reveal that the optimum conditions for T1 lipase production and Biomass concentration (OD600) were; Temperature 31.76 °C, incubation time 39.33 h, culture volume 132.19 mL, inoculum size 3.64%, and agitation speed of 288.2 rpm with a 95% PI low as; 12.41 U/mL and 95% PI high of 13.65 U/mL with an OD600 of; 95% PI low as; 19.62 and 95% PI high as; 22.62 as generated by the software was also validated. These predicted parameters were investigated experimentally and the experimental result for lipase activity observed was 13.72 U/mL with an OD600 of 24.5. At these optimum conditions, there was a 3-fold increase on T1 lipase activity. This study is the first to develop a statistical model for T1 lipase production and biomass concentration in Pichia sp. Strain SO. The optimized production of T1 lipase presents a choice for its industrial application.
A system for reflection in C++

description: Object-oriented programming languages such as Java and Objective C have become popular for implementing agent-based and other object-based simulations since objects in those languages can {\em reflect} (i.e. make runtime queries of an object's structure). This allows, for example, a fairly trivial {\em serialisation} routine (conversion of an object into a binary representation that can be stored or passed over a network) to be written. However C++ does not offer this ability, as type information is thrown away at compile time. Yet C++ is often a preferred development environment, whether for performance reasons or for its expressive features such as operator overloading. In this paper, we present the {\em Classdesc} system which brings many of the benefits of object reflection to C++.

Voting Power Implications of a Unified European Representation at the IMF

description: We consider some of the implications of a proposed reform of the voting system of the IMF in which EU countries cease to be separately represented and are replaced by a single combined representative of the European bloc. The voting weight of the EU bloc is reduced accordingly. We analyse two cases: the Eurozone of 12 countries and the European Union of 25. Using voting power analysis we show that the reform could be very beneficial for the governance of the IMF, enhancing the voting power of individual member countries as a consequence of two large countervailing voting blocs. Specifically we analyse a range of EU voting weights and find the following for ordinary decisions requiring a simple majority: (1) All countries other than those of the EU and USA unambiguously gain power (measured absolutely or relatively); (2) The sum of powers of the EU bloc and USA is minimized when they have voting parity; (3) The power of every other non-EU member is maximized when the EU and USA have parity; (4) Each EU member could gain power - despite losing its seat and the reduction in EU voting weight - depending on the EU voting system that is adopted; (5) The USA loses voting power (both absolutely and relatively) over ordinary decisions but retains its unilateral veto over special majority (85%) decisions (as does the EU bloc).
