description: Background/aims Financial compensation for research participation is a major focus of ethical concern regarding human subject recruitment. Phase I trials are sometimes considered to be a lucrative source of income for healthy volunteers, encouraging some people to become "professional guinea pigs." Yet, little is known about how much these clinical trials actually pay and how much healthy volunteers earn from them. Methods As part of a mixed-methods, longitudinal study of healthy volunteers, we required participants to complete clinical trial diaries, or surveys that captured detailed information about screening and enrollment in Phase I trials. Over a 3-year period, participants provided information online or via telephone about each clinical trial for which they screened (e.g. the clinic name, the study's therapeutic area, the length of the trial, the number of nights spent in the clinic, and the study compensation), and whether they qualified for trial inclusion. Clinical trial diaries generated data about whether participants continued to screen for and enroll in clinical trials and how much money they earned from their participation. Results 131 participants routinely completed clinical trial diaries or confirmed that they had not screened for any new clinical trials. Together, these participants screened for 1001 clinical trials at 73 research facilities during a 3-year period. Overall, the median clinical trial compensation was US$3070 (range=US$150-US$13,000). Participants seeking new healthy volunteer trials tended to screen for three studies per year, participate in one or two studies, and earn roughly US$4000 annually. Participants who were unemployed earned the most income from clinical trials compared to those with full-time or part-time jobs, and those individuals whom we label "occupational" participants because of their persistent pursuit of clinical trials earned more than people who screened occasionally. Notably, the median annual trial compensation was well below US$10,000 for all employment groups, and most occupational healthy volunteers also earned less than US$10,000 each year. The 10% of participants who earned the most had a median annual income of US$18,885 from clinical trials, and there was significant volatility in these individuals' earnings from year to year. Conclusion Despite the perception that Phase I enrollment can generate significant earnings, it was exceedingly rare for anyone in this study to make more than US$20,000 in a single year, and unusual to earn even between US$10,000 and US$20,000. From an ethics perspective, individual trials might appear to unduly induce enrollment by offering significant sums of money, but given our findings, the larger problem for low-income participants may be the unrealistic perception that clinical trials alone could be a way of earning a living.

description: Purpose: The German Classification of Diverticular Disease was introduced a few years ago. The aim of this study was to determine whether Classification of Diverticular Disease enables an exact stratification of different types of diverticular disease in terms of course and treatment. Methods: This was a prospective, bicentric observational trial. Patients aged ≥ 18 years with diverticular disease were prospectively included. The primary endpoint was the rate of recurrence within 2 year follow-up. Secondary outcome measures were Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index, Quality of life measured by SF-36, frequency of gastrointestinal complaints, and postoperative complications. Results: A total of 172 patients were included. After conservative management, 40% of patients required surgery for recurrence in type 1b vs. 80% in type 2a/b (p = 0.04). Sixty percent of patients with type 2a (micro-abscess) were in need of surgery for recurrence vs. 100% of patients with type 2b (macro-abscess) (p = 0.11). Patients with type 2a reached 123 ± 15 points in the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index compared with 111 ± 14 in type 2b (p = 0.05) and higher scores in the “Mental Component Summary” scale of SF-36 (52 ± 10 vs. 43 ± 13; p = 0.04). Patients with recurrent diverticulitis without complications (type 3b) had less often painful constipation (30% vs. 73%; p = 0.006) when they were operated compared with conservative treatment. Conclusion: Differentiation into type 2a and 2b based on abscess size seems reasonable as patients with type 2b required surgery while patients with type 2a may be treated conservatively. Sigmoid colectomy in patients with type 3b seems to have gastrointestinal complaints during long-term follow-up. Trial registration: https://www.drks.de ID: DRKS00005576

description: Adverse weather conditions can have different effects on different types of road crashes. We quantify the combined effects of traffic volume and meteorological parameters on hourly probabilities of 78 different crash types using generalized additive models. Using tensor product bases, we model non-linear relationships and combined effects of different meteorological parameters. We evaluate the increase in relative risk of different crash types in case of precipitation, sun glare and high wind speeds. The largest effect of snow is found in case of single-truck crashes, while rain has a larger effect on single-car crashes. Sun glare increases the probability of multi-car crashes, in particular at higher speed limits and in case of rear-end crashes. High wind speeds increase the probability of single-truck crashes and, for all vehicle types, the risk of crashes with objects blown on the road. A comparison of the predictive power of models with and without meteorological variables shows an improvement of scores of up to 24%, which makes the models suitable for applications in real-time traffic management or impact-based warning systems. These could be used by authorities to issue weather-dependent driving restrictions or situation-specific on-board warnings to improve road safety.

Standard Model thermodynamics across the electroweak crossover

description: Even though the Standard Model with a Higgs mass mH = 125 GeV possesses no bulk phase transition, its thermodynamics still experiences a "soft point" at temperatures around T = 160 GeV, with a deviation from ideal gas thermodynamics. Such a deviation may have an effect on precision computations of weakly interacting dark matter relic abundances if their mass is in the few TeV range, or on leptogenesis scenarios operating in this temperature range. By making use of results from lattice simulations based on a dimensionally reduced effective field theory, we estimate the relevant thermodynamic functions across the crossover. The results are tabulated in a numerical form permitting for their insertion as a background equation of state into cosmological particle production/decoupling codes. We find that Higgs dynamics induces a non-trivial "structure" visible e.g. in the heat capacity, but that in general the largest radiative corrections originate from QCD effects, reducing the energy density by a couple of percent from the free value even at T > 160 GeV.

The Alien Republic: Narratives of Deterritorialization in Imaginations of Turkmenistan from the Late Nineteenth to the Late Twentieth Century

description: Turkmenistan holds a special place in the Russian and Soviet imagination. At the turn of the last century, especially, Turkmenistan appeared as an imaginative object shaped by both nineteenth century tropes and images of the steppe and by the modernist's revaluation and displacement of these very tropes. This article traces this intellectual history from the late nineteenth century to the fall of the Soviet empire and elicits three main narratives through which the republic was rendered alien: Turkmenistan as a “republic from outer space,” as an “arctic desert,” and as a republic whose southern border is constantly threatened by various forces that can never be successfully defeated. Based on a wide body of literary works and films, mainly from the 1920s–30s and the late Soviet period, the paper points to intertextual references that betray both shifts and continuities within these narratives. The analysis shows how notions of political integration and climatic transformations were constantly countered by alternative imaginary boundaries, contributing to an “imaginative geography” of the republic that shaped the way Turkmenistan was perceived. The development of such an “imaginative geography” of Turkmenistan as an “alien republic” was thereby inextricably linked to its steppe and desert geography, marked by a threefold dialectic between concrete and imaginary geography, a rhetoric of appropriation and of alienation, and between present and mythical time.

description: Demand response is a viable concept to deal with and benefit from fluctuating electricity prices and is of growing interest to the electrochemical industry. To assess the flexibility potential of such processes, a generic, interdisciplinary methodology is required. We propose such a methodology, in which the electrochemical fundamentals and the theoretical potential are determined first by analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Afterward, experiments are conducted to determine selectivity and yield under varying loads and to assess the additional long-term costs associated with flexible operation. An industrial-scale electrochemical process is assessed regarding its technical, economic, and practical potential. The required steps include a flow sheet analysis, the formulation and solution of a simplified model for operation scheduling under various business options, and a dynamic optimization based on rigorous, dynamic process models. We apply the methodology to three electrochemical processes of different technology readiness levels—the syntheses of hydrogen peroxide, adiponitrile, and 1,2-dichloroethane via chloralkali electrolysis—to illustrate the individual steps of the proposed methodology.

Warum Viele wissenschaftliche Artikel sind nicht reproduzierbar. Häufig fehlen der Quelltext oder die Daten. Und selbst wenn beides zugänglich ist, kann es an technischen Schwierigkeiten scheitern. Das wird spätestens dann zum Problem, wenn Gutachter*innen eine Analyse verfizieren möchten oder andere Forscher*innen auf bereits existierenden Materialien aufbauen möchten. Diese Problematik führt dazu, dass auch Fördermittel nicht mehr bewilligt werden ohne dass Anträge klare Pläne zu Datenveröffentlichung und Softwareveröffentlichung beinhalten. Im Projekt o2r versuchen wir seit 2016 Lösungen zu entwickeln, um Wissenschaftler*innen dabei zu unterstützen, ihre Forschungsmaterialen reproduzierbar zu veröffentlichen. Unser Wissen und unsere Erfahrungen wollen wir nutzen um die Reproduzierbarkeit und damit die Qualität und Konkurrenzfähigkeit von Forschungsvorhaben aller Fachrichtungen an der WWU positiv zu beeinflussen. Wer Wir möchten mit diesem Workshop vor allem Professoren*innen und Postdocs ansprechen, die sich zum einen über den aktuellen Stand der Technik und existierenden Infrastrukturen informieren möchten, zum anderen aber auch an einem generellen Austausch zum Thema Reproduzierbarkeit interessiert sind und über gemeinsame Ideen und Herausforderungen neue Projektideen und Projektpartner entdecken wollen.

Causal Pathways Leading to Human Failure Events in Information-Gathering System Response Activities

description: Human Failure Events (HFEs) are complex, multi layer events culminating with a human machine team’s failure to complete a plant objective. HFEs can be further described by Crew Failure Modes CFMs which document specific ways the objective tasks may be un successfully performed. In turn, these CFMs are affected by Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs ), some of which exert a more direct influence than others. However, in current Human Reliability Analysis HRA methods, the multitude s of causal relationshi ps between PIFs, CFMs, and HFEs are not explicitly modeled. This work seeks to fill that gap by developing structured causal models that document direct and indirect pathways from PIFs, through CFMs, and into HFEs. This work is intended to expand the curre nt application of causal based HRA modeling beyond control room environments to external environments under natural hazard scenarios. A Bayesian network of information gathering operator activities in response to a system demand is developed by following the causal mapping methodology defined in Zwirglmaier et al. 2017 )). The relationships in this structure are substantiated with existing psychological and organizational literature, thereby allowing for the identification of the main causal pathways leadin g to a particular CFM, and therefore an HFE. The work draws upon proximate causes of failure from the NRC’s NUREG 2114 , CFMs in the Phoenix HRA method, and PIFs from Groth’s 2012 hierarchy. Capturing these causal pathways provides the foundation for an imp roved causal basis of HRA, which represents a promising strategy for enhancing the accuracy and technical basis of HRA. Future efforts will include validation of the structures, constructing similar models for decision

Why Do Human-Machine Teams Fail: Investigating Failure Mechanisms in Human Reliability Analysis

Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland

description: Human Reliability Analysis (HRA), whether qualitative or quantitative, typically focuses on the how of “human failure.” For instance, the possible modes (Crew Failure Modes – CFMs) of failure define how a Major Crew Function (MCF) can be unsuccessfully performed by a crew of operators. The CFMs are typically associated with various Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs) that change the probability of occurrence (and thus, the probability of failing the MCF). However, the cognitive and/or physical pathways that result in a specific CFM (i.e., the question of why a failure occurs) are not often explicitly included in HRA methods. Even in Bayesian network (BN) models, these failure pathways are found implicitly (if at all) in the encoded causal relationships between the lower-level PIFs and higher-level CFMs. Our work posits that failure mechanisms may be revealed by cognitive-physical patterns underlying the presence of identified failure modes, i.e., specific sets of PIFs and/or subtasks (crew activity primitives – CAPs) specify failure mechanisms that can result in the failure mode. Our research reviews previous works that cover failure mechanisms in HRA and identifies possible failure mechanisms in tasks related to information gathering. We then extrapolate this finding to propose a definition for the failure mechanism in HRA and a preliminary procedure for identifying and modeling failure mechanisms in BN models.
Public Opinion and Death Penalty Policy Under Direct Democracy Institutions: A Longitudinal Analysis of the American States
Creators: name: Caron, C.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2021

description: Capital punishment remains legal in most U.S. states even though only a small number of them regularly impose it. I attribute the persistence of death penalty statutes to the existence of direct democracy institutions in about half the states. Applying a longitudinal research design that leverages annual estimates of state death penalty opinion, I show that these institutions strengthen the connection between public opinion and capital punishment’s legality, indicating that they foster policy responsiveness. By extension, because citizens have generally favored capital punishment, I find that direct democracy states are more likely to have the death penalty. I also demonstrate that direct democracy increases the likelihood that policy will be congruent with majority opinion, especially in states where opinion leans strongly in one direction. The representation-enhancing effect of direct democracy, however, does not extend to the punishment’s application, as measured by states’ issuance of death sentences.

Mainstream Media Recirculation of Trust-Reducing Social Media Messages

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2021

description: Citizens need to trust in the integrity of news reporting for the free press to fulfill its role as a democratic institution that enables citizens to hold representatives accountable. Growing research has shown that increased use of social media erodes trust in legacy news. However, trust-reducing social media messages are not contained to social media platforms; they are widely recirculated by the mainstream media. We argue that mainstream media corporations select social media messages to recirculate precisely because of their trust-reducing features in order to respond to short-term competitive market incentives. We turn to Donald Trump’s Twitter posts as examples of trust-reducing messages and show that the media cites more trust-reducing messages more quickly and more frequently than less trust-reducing messages. These findings implicate mainstream media corporations alongside social media platforms in the systematic and ongoing degradation of trust in legacy news reporting.
Estimates for radial solutions of the homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential

description: Motivated by the question of existence of global solutions, we obtain pointwise upper bounds for radially symmetric and monotone solutions to the homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential. The estimates say that blow up in the $L^\infty$-norm at a finite time $T$ can occur only if the $L^{3/2}$-norm of the solution concentrates for times close to $T$. The bounds are obtained using the comparison principle for the Landau equation and for the associated mass function. This method provides long-time existence results for the isotropic version of the Landau equation with Coulomb potential, recently introduced by Krieger and Strain.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) is a dynamic global information network consisting of Internet-connected objects, such as RFIDs, sensors, and actuators, as well as other instruments and smart appliances that are becoming an integral component of the Internet. Over the last few years, we have seen a plethora of IoT solutions making their way into the industry marketplace. Context-aware communication and computing has played a critical role throughout the last few years of ubiquitous computing and is expected to play a significant role in the IoT paradigm as well. In this article, we examine a variety of popular and innovative IoT solutions in terms of context-aware technology perspectives. More importantly, we evaluate these IoT solutions using a framework that we built around well-known context-aware computing theories. This survey is intended to serve as a guideline and a conceptual framework for contextaware product development and research in the IoT paradigm. It also provides a systematic exploration of existing IoT products in the marketplace and highlights a number of potentially significant research directions and trends.

description: Frieze patterns of numbers, introduced in the early 70's by Coxeter, are currently attracting much interest due to connections with the recent theory of cluster algebras. The present paper aims to review the original work of Coxeter and the new developments around the notion of frieze, focusing on the representation theoretic, geometric and combinatorial approaches.

description: Photoaffinity labelling is a promising method for studying protein-ligand interactions. However, obtaining a specific, efficient crosslinker can require significant optimisation. We report a modified mRNA display strategy, photocrosslinking-RaPID (XL-RaPID), and exploit its ability to accelerate the discovery of cyclic peptides that photocrosslink to a target of interest. As a proof of concept, we generated a benzophenone-containing library and applied XL-RaPID screening against a model target, the second bromodomain of BRD3. This crosslinking screening gave two optimal candidates that selectively labelled the target protein in cell lysate. Overall, this work introduces direct photocrosslinking screening as a versatile technique for identifying covalent peptide ligands from mRNA display libraries incorporating reactive warheads.
Ms. Categorized: Gender, notability, and inequality on Wikipedia
Creators: name: Tripodi, Francesca
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2021

description: Gender is one of the most pervasive and insidious forms of inequality. For example, English-language Wikipedia contains more than 1.5 million biographies about notable writers, inventors, and academics, but less than 19% of these biographies are about women. To try and improve these statistics, activists host “edit-a-thons” to increase the visibility of notable women. While this strategy helps create several biographies previously inexistent, it fails to address a more inconspicuous form of gender exclusion. Drawing on ethnographic observations, interviews, and quantitative analysis of web-scraped metadata, this article demonstrates that biographies about women who meet Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion are more frequently considered non-notable and nominated for deletion compared to men’s biographies. This disproportionate rate is another dimension of gender inequality previously unexplored by social scientists and provides broader insights into how women’s achievements are (under)valued.

description: In the framework of the Left-Right twin Higgs (LRTH) model, we consider the constrains from the latest search for high-mass dilepton resonances at the LHC and find that the heavy neutral boson $Z_H$ is excluded with mass below 2.76 TeV. Under these constrains, we study the Higgs-Gauge coupling production processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ZH$, $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ν_{e}\bar{ν_{e}}H$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}H$, top quark Yukawa coupling production process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow t\bar{t}H$, Higgs self-couplings production processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ZHH$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ν_{e}\bar{ν_{e}}HH$ at $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders. Besides, we study the major decay modes of the Higgs boson, namely $h\rightarrow f\bar{f}$($f=b,c,τ$), $VV^{*}(V=W, Z)$, $gg$, $γγ$. We find that the LRTH effects are sizable so that the Higgs boson processes at $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider can be a sensitive probe for the LRTH model.

description: We consider a holographic dark energy model, with a varying parameter, n, which evolves slowly with time. We obtain the differential equation describing evolution of the dark energy density parameter, $Ω_d$, for the flat and non-flat FRW universes. The equation of state parameter in this generalized version of holographic dark energy depends on n.

Does Participation in Food Benefit Programs Reduce the Risk for Depressive Symptoms?
Creators: name: Santos, Hudson P.

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Ltd
Year: 2021

description: BACKGROUND:Food insecurity affects 15 million households in the United States and is associated with negative physical and mental health outcomes including Major Depressive Disorder. Governmental public assistance or food benefit programs including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are social intervention services that attempt to minimize food insecurity for low-income households. There is little consensus regarding the effects of food benefit participation on reducing risk of depressive symptoms.OBJECTIVE:This study aims to explore the association between household food insecurity and food benefit participation (SNAP or WIC) on risk for depressive symptoms using nationally representative samples from the Center for Disease and Control and Prevention Nutritional Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 cohorts. We hypothesize that food insecurity is associated with increased risk of depressive symptoms and food benefit participation with reduced risk.METHOD:Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using survey-weighted logistic regression to explore the relationship between food insecurity, food benefit participation, and the risk of depressive symptoms controlling for relevant income and sociodemographic variables.RESULTS:When controlling for sociodemographic variables, food benefit participation did not reduce the risk of depressive symptoms, while high levels of food insecurity were associated with elevated risk.CONCLUSIONS:High levels of food insecurity are associated with elevated risk of depressive symptoms. Nurses and public health professionals can address food security needs through increased knowledge of referral and eligibility requirements. Implications on clinical practice, policy, and future directions for research are discussed.

description: We prove that a deformation of a hypersurface in a $(n+1)$-dimensional real space form ${\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1}$ induce a Hamiltonian variation of the normal congruence in the space ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1}_{p,1})$ of oriented geodesics. As an application, we show that every Hamiltonian minimal sumbanifold in ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{n+1})$ (resp. ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{n+1})$) with respect to the (para-) Kaehler Einstein structure is locally the normal congruence of a hypersurface $Σ$ in ${\mathbb S}^{n+1}$ (resp. ${\mathbb H}^{n+1}$) that is a critical point of the functional ${\cal W}(Σ)=\int_Σ\left(Π_{i=1}^n|ε+k_i^2|\right)^{1/2}$, where $k_i$ denote the principal curvatures of $Σ$ and $ε\in\{-1,1\}$. In addition, for $n=2$, we prove that every Hamiltonian minimal surface in ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb S}^{3})$ (resp. ${\mathbb L}({\mathbb H}^{3})$) with respect to the (para-) Kaehler conformally flat structure is locally the normal congruence of a surface in ${\mathbb S}^{3}$ (resp. ${\mathbb H}^{3}$) that is a critical point of the functional ${\cal W}'(Σ)=\int_Σ\sqrt{H^2-K+1}$ (resp. ${\cal W}'(Σ)=\int_Σ\sqrt{H^2-K-1}\; $), where $H$ and $K$ denote, respectively, the mean and Gaussian curvature of $Σ$.
