description: We consider supergravity solutions of D5 branes wrapped on supersymmetric 2-cycles and use them to discuss relevant features of four-dimensional N=1 and N=2 super Yang-Mills theories with gauge group SU(n). In particular in the N=1 case, using a gravitational dual of the gaugino condensate, we obtain the complete NSVZ beta-function. We also find non-perturbative corrections associated to fractional instantons with charge 2/n. These non-perturbative effects modify the running of the coupling constant which remains finite even at small scales in a way that resembles to the soft confinement scenario of QCD.

description:
Introduction: Twenty-five to forty-five percent of normally developing children and up to eight % of children with developmental delays have oral feeding difficulties. Such disorders, even of short duration, can disrupt normal development and cause serious long-term sequelae. Materials and Methods: We performed a review Meta-Analyses, Randomized Controlled trails and Reviews published since 2008 in English retrieved within the PubMed database. Fifteen articles were included that specifically focused on feeding and swallowing disorders in the newborn. Results: Assessment of neonatal dysphagia is divided into: noninstrumental and instrumental. The types of non-instrumental assessment are evolving, though in clinical practice they remain predominantly qualitative. Fiberoptic endoscopic examination of swallowing (FEES) and videofluoroscopic examination (VFS) are used for instrumental assessment, but recently other examinations are emerging. Treatment can also be divided into: surgical and nonsurgical. Surgery is essential for infants with malformations in the aerodigestive tract that would not be able to feed orally otherwise. Non-surgical treatments can be compensatory to help the infant at mealtime or habilitative to help the infant develop oral skills. Conclusions: The newborn intake of neonatal feeding and swallowing disorders is recent. Further study are needed to define the proper assessment of these disorders, in order to identify the treatments that in most cases dwell on taking care of preterm infants.

description: In this paper we discuss how interactive ceilings may improve productivity and collaboration in office environments. The ceiling of an office offers an unobtrusive, unobstructed display and input area which is accessible to all persons in the room. Therefore, enhancing ceilings with input and display capabilities allows for a range of new single-user and multi-user applications such as status indicators, unobtrusive notifications, in-house navigation and collaborative work areas. However, ergonomic constraints limit the application space. To investigate such constraints we built a working prototype of an interactive ceiling. Currently, we are conducting a study investigating which areas on the ceiling may be used for displaying notifications and content.

description: The purpose of this study was to identify the internal and external factors associated with the implementation of the organization's policies. It was an applied-descriptive study conducted through a survey method using a questionnaire. For the purpose of this study, after reviewing the literature and theoretical foundations, we tried to identify the most important internal and external factors affecting optimal policy implementation. Therefore, seven factors and their indices were selected based on frequency and importance. In the form of seven hypotheses, the relationship between these factors and optimized policy implementation was evaluated. The statistical population included 120 employees of the Department of Natural Resources and Watershed Management of Khorasan Razavi province. The sample size was calculated using the Morgan formula to be 92 people. Regarding the fact that the policy implementation had an abnormal distribution, the nonparametric single t-test was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated a positive and significant relationship between all internal and external organizational factors identified by optimal policy implementation in the organization.

Thanks to the excellent technology combined with improving living conditions, a pediatric intervention for hearing loss, is faster and easier In addition to the normal hearing aids, the cartilage conduction, the adhesive-based, the Bone Conduction, and the Bonebridge hearing aids, show that there are multiple options to compensate the hearing loss in children. The main reasons for using such interventions are the gapless continuation of the child’s hearing, language, and speech development. A subject’s ability to understand language they can listen to, improves significantly their ability to understand speech and to distinguish between sounds. This manuscript presents the major types of Hearing Aids, which are available for various clinical hearing impairment startegies.

description:
Introduction: Patients with hearing loss who undergo auditory rehabilitation with hearing aids or cochlear implants may experience skeletal dysfunctions and postural maladjustments to achieve a better balance.



Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a manual therapy treatment and the improvement of quality of life in a sample of patients with similar clinical diagnosis.



Method: The study is an uncontrolled trial based on a therapeutic treatment lasting 5 weeks with 5-week follow-up. A survey was administered to 101 subjects to evaluate the presence of skeletal disorders; Six of these subjects underwent a specific treatment with Autobalance Exercises, Myofascial Treatment, Respiratory Treatment, and Cervical Treatment.



Results: The primary outcome of the study is the score obtained on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for reported pain, while the secondary outcome is the administration of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale, and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire. At T0, the average score on the NRS scale was 6.2; the average score on the NDI was 19%; 33% showed altered sleep quality. Moreover, 83% showed a rotational pathology component in the mobilization of the cervical region, 67% reported trapezius pain, and 100% reported headaches.



The sample undergoing treatment benefited from the results obtained at the final follow-up stage: regarding the primary outcome, the NRS scale showed an improvement of 2.8% with an average value of 3.4%, and a decrease in headache episodes; regarding the secondary outcome, the NDI percentage decreased by 14% on average; the improvement in sleep quality had positive feedback with a reduction or disappearance of trapezius pain.



Conclusions: If the medical focus is on overcoming hearing impairment with the most suitable aid for the individual, musculoskeletal and postural dysfunctions cannot be neglected. It is important to emphasize that postural symptoms are not a consequence of the hearing rehabilitation but rather due to poor adaptation of the musculoskeletal structure, which implements compensatory patterns over time.

description: Groundwater use often has external effects on both the environment and future groundwater benefits, leading to over withdrawal. Ostrom’s research on common property resources (CPR) and related literature indicates that CPR management may improve if users have more information about the groundwater system, more opportunities for communication, and empowerment to regulate. In this paper, we conduct a computer laboratory experiment involving 180 students to evaluate the role of these components of engagement in reducing irrigation withdrawals from an aquifer. Our treatments, which consisted of different levels of information, communication and empowerment, resulted in decreases in groundwater extraction and increases in irrigation profits over nine-year extraction horizons. Enhanced information and communication also increased the fraction of subjects who voted for and complied with collective action in the form of quotas on pumping levels.

We examine all $SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ chiral operators of order p^4 that lead to new four--gauge--boson interactions but do not alter trilinear vertices. We show that the e-gamma and gamma-gamma modes are able not only to establish the existence of a strongly interacting symmetry breaking sector but also to probe for anomalous quartic couplings of the order of 10^{-2} at 90% CL. Moreover, the information gathered in the e-gamma mode can be used to reduced the ambiguities of the e+e- mode.

description: We study the roles of migration and remittances along with other income sources on investment decisions in rural Bangladesh. We estimate households’ investment equations conditional on their participation in and income from alternative (farm and non-farm) activities in the context of household’s current endowments and existing market structures. Using a true household-level panel data from rural Bangladesh covering 2000, 2004, and 2008 with 1223 sample points, we estimate the effects of migration and remittances on household’s investment in own cultivated land, land rent out to other households, livestock and non-farm business capital. Results show that remittances decrease household own cultivated land and also decrease land rent out to other households. We explain this result by controlling households labor endowments, education status and existing market imperfections. Our results also show that female headed households overall invest less in self-employment activities when they receive remittances. We find that remittances have little investment effects in general which is expected result given the overall low productive investment rate of remittance receiving households in Bangladesh.

description:
Over the last 30 years, stapes surgery has undergone notable changes, evolving from an initial stapedectomy operation to the more current stapedotomy and stapedotomy with reversed times. The aim of the study was to demonstrate how, through the choice of a reversed stapedotomy procedure, it is possible to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from otosclerosis, in terms of improvement of auditory perception and the more objective audiometric examination. The study analyzed patients operated on from December 2014 to March 2016, for a total of 81 operations (m25 f56). For each patient we researched the audiometric tests carried out the day before the operation and three weeks after. In the evaluation of each exam, analyzing the frequencies of 500-1000-2000 Hz, we calculated the average value of the VA and the ABG and, by comparing the pre-operative values ​​with the post-operative ones, the gain or each patient’s hearing loss. Finally, the 81 cases were divided into 4 classes based on the pre-operative air bone gap values.



The study carried out, in accordance with the data present in the literature, demonstrates that the reversed time technique guarantees an excellent improvement of the air bone gap. It also highlights how there is uniformity in hearing recovery for classes A, B and C quantifiable with an average improvement of 64.08% of the starting gap. As regards class D, due to the worse starting situation, a smaller decrease in the gap is calculated at around 52.05%.

description:
The galvanic skin response (GSR) is an autonomic reflex that modifies electrical skin resistance after sensory input. Its most famous use regards the lie detector test, which is used in the United States in job interviews, security clearances, and interrogations. It utilises the sympathetic nervous system that modifies electrical skin resistance after sensory input without the patient’s collaboration. Our scope was to verify the presence of GSR in the audiometric exam and if this reflex was present at the hearing threshold level. We have evaluated 20 consecutive patients who arrived in our hospital for an audiometric test. We have demonstrated that this reflex is present at the hearing threshold level and absent under the threshold level in all frequencies commonly explored in standard audiometric exams.



These results can lead to objective audiometry, which could finally avoid medico-legal disputes linked to hearing loss simulation.

description: Failure by democratic states to resolve protracted international territorial disputes has often been traced to domestic politics. In seeking advantages at the bargaining table and to limit vulnerability versus domestic challengers, democratic leaders may assert hardline territorial demands to mobilize support from sympathetic publics. By staking their political credibility on such claims, they may become locked into extreme policy positions which render compromise untenable. To what extent, however, does expressed support by sympathetic publics actually imply audience costs for reneging? This paper argues that sympathetic publics’ demands for policy follow-through on revisionist territorial claims depend upon how they are framed. Building on the existing audience cost literature, it demonstrates that tangibly salient frames highlighting national security threats are more likely to consistently move sympathetic publics to demand policy redress than intangibly salient frames asserting national rights to defend heritage or cross-border kin. It does so using comparative survey experiments in Israel and Serbia – two democratic states with disputed international boundaries and strong domestic nationalist sentiment, but whose geopolitical contexts are dissimilarly conducive to territorial revisionism. Results contribute to a refined understanding of how domestic attitudes toward nationalist claims impact international conflict processes.

description: Peritrichous bacteria such as Escherichia coli swim in viscous fluids by forming a helical bundle of flagellar filaments. The filaments are spatially distributed around the cell body to which they are connected via a flexible hook. To understand how the swimming direction of the cell is determined, we theoretically investigate the elastohydrodynamic motility problem of a multi-flagellated bacterium. Specifically, we consider a spherical cell body with a number N of flagella which are initially symmetrically arranged in a plane in order to provide an equilibrium state. We analytically solve the linear stability problem and find that at most 6 modes can be unstable and that these correspond to the degrees of freedom for the rigid-body motion of the cell body. Although there exists a rotation-dominated mode that generates negligible locomotion, we show that for the typical morphological parameters of bacteria the most unstable mode results in linear swimming in one direction accompanied by rotation around the same axis, as observed experimentally.
Three-point functions at strong coupling in the BMN limit

description: We consider structure constants of single-trace operators at strong coupling in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory using the hexagon formalism. We concentrate on heavy-heavy-light correlators where the heavy operators are BMN operators, with large R-charges and finite anomalous dimensions, and the light one is a finite-charge chiral primary operator. They describe the couplings between two highly boosted strings and a supergravity mode in the bulk dual. In the hexagon framework, two sums over virtual magnons are needed to bind the hexagons together around the light operator. We evaluate these sums explicitly at strong coupling, for a certain choice of BMN operators, and show that they factorise into a ratio of Gamma functions and a simple stringy prefactor. The former originates from giant mirror magnons scanning the AdS geometry while the latter stems from small fluctuations around the BMN vacuum. The resulting structure constants have poles at positions where an enhanced mixing with double-trace operators is expected and zeros whenever the process is forbidden by supersymmetry. We also discuss the transition to the classical regime, when the length of the light operator scales like the string tension, where we observe similitudes with the Neumann coefficients of the pp-wave String Field Theory vertex.

description: We study a new mechanism to discover dark photon fields, by resonantly triggering two photon transitions in cold gas preparations. Using coherently prepared cold parahydrogen, coupling sensitivity for sub-meV mass dark photon fields can be advanced by orders of magnitude, with a modified light-shining-through-wall setup. We calculate the effect of a background dark photon field on the dipole moment and corresponding transition rate of cold parahydrogen pumped into its first vibrational excited state by counter-propagating laser beams. The nonlinear amplification of two photon emission triggered by dark photons in a cold parahydrogen sample is numerically simulated to obtain the expected dark photon coupling sensitivity.

description: Coated diammonium phosphate (CDAP) and humic acid (HA) have improved crop phosphorus fertilizer use efficiency. However, the effects of different phosphorus concentrations and HA incorporation on wheat and their potential mechanisms are unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of varying phosphorus concentrations and HA applied in combination with coated phosphate fertilizers on wheat growth and its yield. An incubation experiment was performed using different phosphorus (P) concentrations (P0%, P1%, P10%, and P100% in Hoagland nutrient solution) combined with two HA content (0 and 0.1 g L−1). Finally, the wheat pot experiments were presented with two HA application rates (0 and 45 kg ha−1) and two P levels (60 and 75 kg P2O5 ha−1) under the condition that two forms of P fertilizer (CDAP and diammonium phosphate (DAP)) were comprised. At the same P rate, the auxin (IAA) and cytokinin (CTK) content in wheat seedlings of HA-added treatments was increased by 11.30%- 40.33% and 12.03%-29.21%, respectively, compared with the HA-free treatment. The CDAP combined with HA that improved the wheat growth and increased the yield and P use efficiency (PUE) by 2.7%-4.3% and 6.7-7.1 percentage points. Furthermore, the interactions between the types of P fertilizer (DAP, CDAP) and the application rate of HA were recorded as being significant (p < 0.01) for the wheat yield. In conclusion, as an environmentally friendly fertilizer, the combination of CDAP and HA increased enhanced root growth, and then maximized yields and PUE, which is important for P resource conservation and environmental protection.

description: Abstract: Climate change is a major global threat to biodiversity with widespread impacts on ecological communities. Evidence for beneficial impacts on populations is perceived to be stronger and more plentiful than that for negative impacts, but few studies have investigated this apparent disparity, or how ecological factors affect population responses to climatic change. We examined the strength of the relationship between species-specific regional population changes and climate suitability trends (CST), using 30-year datasets of population change for 525 breeding bird species in Europe and the USA. These data indicate a consistent positive relationship between population trend and CST across the two continents. Importantly, we found no evidence that this positive relationship differs between species expected to be negatively and positively impacted across the entire taxonomic group, suggesting that climate change is causing equally strong, quantifiable population increases and declines. Species’ responses to changing climatic suitability varied with ecological traits, however, particularly breeding habitat preference and body mass. Species associated with inland wetlands responded most strongly and consistently to recent climatic change. In Europe, smaller species also appeared to respond more strongly, whilst the relationship with body mass was less clear-cut for North American birds. Overall, our results identify the role of certain traits in modulating responses to climate change and emphasise the importance of long-term data on abundance for detecting large-scale species’ responses to environmental changes.

description: By a "happy fractal" we mean a metric space with bounded geometry in the sense of a doubling condition and a lot of paths of finite length, so that any pair of points can be connected by a path whose length is less than or equal to a constant times the distance between the two points. In these notes we consider some examples, related notions, and other aspects of analysis on metric spaces. This includes Lipschitz functions of some positive order and the special class of functions known as "atoms" which are related to singular integral operators.

Subjects: subject: 004 Informatik

description: We present Sentilyzer, a web-based tool that can be used to analyze and visualize the sentiment of German user comments on Facebook pages. The tool collects comments via the Facebook API and uses the TreeTagger to perform basic lemmatization. The lemmatized data is then analyzed with regard to sentiment by using the Berlin Affective Word List – Reloaded (BAWL-R), a lexicon that contains emotional valence ratings for more than 2,900 German words. The results are visualized in an interactive web interface that shows sentiment analyses for single posts, but also provides a timeline view to display trends in the sentiment ratings.

Disease-microbiome features

description: Abstract: Background: Interest in the interplay between host genetics and the gut microbiome in complex human diseases is increasing, with prior evidence mainly being derived from animal models. In addition, the shared and distinct microbiome features among complex human diseases remain largely unclear. Results: This analysis was based on a Chinese population with 1475 participants. We estimated the SNP-based heritability, which suggested that Desulfovibrionaceae and Odoribacter had significant heritability estimates (0.456 and 0.476, respectively). We performed a microbiome genome-wide association study to identify host genetic variants associated with the gut microbiome. We then conducted bidirectional Mendelian randomization analyses to examine the potential causal associations between the gut microbiome and complex human diseases. We found that Saccharibacteria could potentially decrease the concentration of serum creatinine and increase the estimated glomerular filtration rate. On the other hand, atrial fibrillation, chronic kidney disease and prostate cancer, as predicted by host genetics, had potential causal effects on the abundance of some specific gut microbiota. For example, atrial fibrillation increased the abundance of Burkholderiales and Alcaligenaceae and decreased the abundance of Lachnobacterium, Bacteroides coprophilus, Barnesiellaceae, an undefined genus in the family Veillonellaceae and Mitsuokella. Further disease-microbiome feature analysis suggested that systemic lupus erythematosus and chronic myeloid leukaemia shared common gut microbiome features. Conclusions: These results suggest that different complex human diseases share common and distinct gut microbiome features, which may help reshape our understanding of disease aetiology in humans.

description:
Background: Auditory results of cochlear implant (CI) vary according to both the presence/absence and severity of the malformations and the clinical condition of the patient.



Methods: This retrospective-longitudinal study examined the trend of the hearing threshold, verbal perception and CI mapping parameters in 50 pediatric patients, who underwent CI surgery at an age ≤7 years over a 12-month period (from activation to 12 months post-IC). The sample (4 groups) was clustered according to etiology, presence or absence of inner ear dysplasia and/or associated disabilities; a second subdivision (3 groups) considered the time of CI intervention (< 18 months, 18-36 months, > 36 months).



Results: The whole cohort shows an overall improvement in both tonal audiometric threshold and verbal perception over time. The subdivision according to etiology shows better results in children characterized by a normo-developed cochlea and absence of associated disabilities. The subdivision according to the time of CI intervention shows a greater development of perceptual abilities in children implanted before 18 months of age. Electrophysiological parameters and CI stimulation levels show a standard trend over time in the different groups and higher C levels in the group of patients with congenital conditions.



Conclusion: Nowadays, anatomical malformations of the inner ear are no longer a contraindication for CI surgery. An interdisciplinary approach and detailed counseling regarding the expected results should be tailored according to both the etiology of the hearing loss and the time of the CI intervention.

description:
Background - a pitch mismatch is considered detrimental for binaural integration and auditory performance in asymmetric hearing rehabilitated with cochlear implant. However, current psychoacoustic pitch balancing procedures are time consuming and annoying, leading to disengagement and unreliable results.



Aim - the aim of this study is to speed up the psychoacoustic pitch discrimination test maintaining high levels of reliability and engagement with a gamified mobile-based procedure appropriate for children and adults.



Methods - a preliminary case study is presented of a mobile-based application to test pitch discrimination in an adult patient affected by asymmetric hearing loss with mild sensorineural hearing loss in one ear and profound sensorineural hearing loss rehabilitated with cochlear implant in the other ear. The details of the procedure and the results of ease of use and workload questionnaires are reported.



Results - the pitch discrimination test pointed out a frequency-specific mismatch between the unaided ear and the cochlear-implanted ear. The questionnaires’ scores suggest that the gamified procedure could be easily implemented in the testing protocol of cochlear implant fitting.



Conclusion - the results of the psychoacoustic pitch discrimination test could be useful to improve cochlear implant fitting. Research is ongoing to verify and validate the efficiency of the gamified pitch discrimination procedure reported in the present study.
