description: Objectives: To determine the incidence rate (IR) and predictors of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods: This population based retrospective cohort study included 325 patients diagnosed with AAV between 1997 and 2016 in a defined population in southern Sweden. To identify patients diagnosed with MI, the AAV cohort was linked to the SWEDEHEART registry, a national quality of care registry including all MI-cases hospitalized at coronary care units in Sweden, and to the Skåne Healthcare register (SHR), a regional diagnosis database. Cases found in SHR but not included in SWEDEHEART were confirmed via case record review. Demographics and clinical data were collected from time of AAV diagnosis. MI events occurring in a period beginning 3 months prior to AAV diagnosis and any time after were considered AAV-related MI. For each patient with AAV, we randomly sampled 10 age and sex-matched controls from the background population. The incidence rate (IR) of AAV- related first MI was calculated dividing cases by sum of person years of follow up. Follow up time was defined as time from diagnosis of AAV (index-date for controls assigned as same as date of AAV-diagnosis in AAV-partner) to first MI-event, death, or end of study in November 2018. The incidence rate ratio (IRR) was calculated by dividing the IR for patients with AAV by the corresponding rate for the controls. Predictors of MI in AAV was studied using Cox-regression model using the following factors in uni- and multivariable analysis: age at AAV diagnosis, disease phenotype, creatinine per 100 μmol/L increase and ENT-involvement. Results: Thirty-seven patients (11.4%) were diagnosed with a first time AAV-related MI during a follow up time of 2330 person-years. The IR of MI was 1.6/100 person-years (95% CI 1.1-2.1). Compared to official Swedish statistics, the AAV- patients of this cohort were more than five times as likely to suffer a MI compared to the overall adult population. The IR was highest within three months from AAV diagnosis, 10.2/100 person-years (95% CI 3.1-17.2). The IRR of MI was 1.9 (95% CI 1.3-2.8, p=0.001). The highest IRR were obtained for patients with MPO-ANCA+ disease (2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.3, p=0.0004), and those with BVAS >15 at time of AAV-diagnosis (2.1, 95% CI 1.3-3.3, p=0.002). Age at AAV diagnosis independently predicted occurrence of MI. Conclusions: This cohort study shows that patients with AAV are more prone to suffer from MI, particularly within the first period after disease onset. Age was the single independent predictor of MI in AAV-patients.

description: We characterize the selection function of RAVE using 2MASS as our underlying population, which we assume represents all stars which could have potentially been observed. We evaluate the completeness fraction as a function of position, magnitude, and color in two ways: first, on a field-by-field basis, and second, in equal-size areas on the sky. Then, we consider the effect of the RAVE stellar parameter pipeline on the final resulting catalogue, which in principle limits the parameter space over which our selection function is valid. Our final selection function is the product of the completeness fraction and the selection function of the pipeline. We then test if the application of the selection function introduces biases in the derived parameters. To do this, we compare a parent mock catalogue generated using Galaxia with a mock-RAVE catalogue where the selection function of RAVE has been applied. We conclude that for stars brighter than I = 12, between $4000 \rm K < T_{\rm eff} < 8000 \rm K$ and $0.5 < \rm{log}\,g < 5.0$, RAVE is kinematically and chemically unbiased with respect to expectations from Galaxia.

description: Excessive alcohol consumption is leading to increased rates of liver injury and disease. A new research strategy focuses on manipulating gut microbiota to lessen alcohol-induced harm. This study examined the hepatoprotective effects of extracts from Acanthus ilicifolius (EAI) on acute alcoholic liver injury by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signalling pathway and modulating intestinal microbiota in mice. The results showed that EAI dose-dependently reduced alcohol-induced elevations of AST, ALT, and ALP levels. EAI showed significant inhibitory effects on the expressions of TLR4, NF-κB, and pNF-κB proteins. Furthermore, EAI caused a notable reduction in hepatic levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Supplementation with EAI could ameliorate alcohol-induced dysbiosis of intestinal bacteria. The levels of ALT, AST, and ALP levels were negatively correlated with Ligilactobacillus, Lactobacillus, and Alistipes, but positively correlated with Helicobacter and Bacteroides. Overall, EAI alleviated alcoholic liver injury in mice by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB signalling pathway and modulating intestinal bacteria.

description: A superelliptic curve $\X$ of genus $g\geq 2$ is not necessarily defined over its field of moduli but it can be defined over a quadratic extension of it. While a lot of work has been done by many authors to determine which hyperelliptic curves are defined over their field of moduli, less is known for superelliptic curves. In this paper we observe that if the reduced group of a genus $g\geq 2$ superelliptic curve $\X$ is different from the trivial or cyclic group, then $\X$ can be defined over its field of moduli; in the cyclic situation we provide a sufficient condition for this to happen. We also determine those families of superelliptic curves of genus at most $10$ which might not be definable over their field of moduli.
description: A sentence in the third page of the previous version might have given the impression that equations of Tables 1..3 were defined over the field of moduli. This has been rewritten in order to make it clear. Remark~1 is added (pg. 11) and the abstract has been rewritten.

description: Many rare event searches including dark matter direct detection and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments take advantage of the high VUV reflective surfaces made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) reflector materials to achieve high light collection efficiency in their detectors. As the detectors have grown in size over the past decade, there has also been an increased need for ever thinner detector walls without significant loss in reflectance to reduce dead volumes around active noble liquids, outgassing, and potential backgrounds. We report on the experimental results to measure the dependence of the reflectance on thickness of two PTFE samples at wavelengths near 178 nm. No change in reflectance was observed as the thickness of a cylindrically shaped PTFE vessel immersed in liquid xenon was varied between 1 mm and 9.5 mm.

description: We propose an infrastructure that helps a system administrator to identify a newly published vulnerability on the site hosts and to evaluate the vulnerability’s threat with respect to the administrator’s security priorities. The infrastructure foundation is the vulnerability semantics, a small set of attributes for vulnerability definition. We demonstrate that with a few attributes it is possible to define the majority of the known vulnerabilities in a way that (i) facilitates their accurate identification, and (ii) enables the administrator to rank the vulnerabilities found according to the organization’s security priorities. A large scale experiment demonstrates that our infrastructure can find significant vulnerabilities even in a site with a high security awareness.

description: Background: Treatment related morbidity and mortality significantly impact outcome in ANCA associated glomerulonephritis (GN). The aim is to optimise kidney and patient survival by personalising medicine according to a reliable risk stratification. Methods: We conducted a multicentre, international retrospective study investigating patients with biopsy proven ANCA associated GN. We validated and refined the ANCA Renal Risk Score (ARRS) to optimise the outcome prediction for end stage kidney disease (ESKD) and the recovery from acute renal failure at presentation. Results: Six regional referral centres from the US, England, Turkey and Mexico, and the Irish national registry provided data on 766 patients with ANCA GN. Median age was 63 years (interquartile range 46 - 69), 56.4% of patients were male. 51.3% of patients were anti-myeloperoxidase positive, 42.6% anti-proteinase 3 positive and 6.1% ANCA negative. 17.6% initially required renal replacement therapy, and 57.7% of these patients recovered renal function. During a median follow up of 58 months, 26% of patients developed ESKD. The original risk score correlated with outcome; 12.5%, 24.4%, and 64.3% of patients developed ESKD in the low, moderate and high-risk groups, respectively (p=0.002). The risk score was modified by adjusting cut-offs according to regression tree analyses assigning risk points to create new risk groups. The refined score predicted renal recovery in patients presenting with dialysis dependent acute kidney injury (83.3%, 50%, 33.3%, p=0.02) as well as the development of ESKD during follow up (11.4%, 37%, 66.7%, p=0.0004). Conclusions: We developed and externally validated a reliable prediction tool enabling personalised medicine in ANCA associated GN. Adjusting the ARRS using real world data from around the globe optimised the risk stratification. Disclosures: DG is a consultant to ChemoCentryx and Aurinia Inc.

description: High-precision constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) will significantly improve our understanding of the physics of the early universe. Among all the subtleties in using large scale structure observables to constrain PNG, accounting for relativistic corrections to the clustering statistics is particularly important for the upcoming galaxy surveys covering progressively larger fraction of the sky. We focus on relativistic projection effects due to the fact that we observe the galaxies through the light that reaches the telescope on perturbed geodesics. These projection effects can give rise to an effective $f_{\rm NL}$ that can be misinterpreted as the primordial non-Gaussianity signal and hence is a systematic to be carefully computed and accounted for in modelling of the bispectrum. We develop the technique to properly account for relativistic effects in terms of purely observable quantities, namely angles and redshifts. We give some examples by applying this approach to a subset of the contributions to the tree-level bispectrum of the observed galaxy number counts calculated within perturbation theory and estimate the corresponding non-Gaussianity parameter, $f_{\rm NL}$, for the local, equilateral and orthogonal shapes. For the local shape, we also compute the local non-Gaussianity resulting from terms obtained using the consistency relation for observed number counts. Our goal here is not to give a precise estimate of $f_{\rm NL}$ for each shape but rather we aim to provide a scheme to compute the non-Gaussian contamination due to relativistic projection effects. For the terms considered in this work, we obtain contamination of $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm loc} \sim {\mathcal O}(1)$.

description: Background: The risk of kidney failure varies substantially amongst patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis. We derived a simple instrument to estimate the 1-year risk of kidney failure in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. Methods: Analysis of individual patient data from 7 international randomized controlled trials conducted by the European Vasculitis Study Group covering the spectrum of severity in ANCA-associated vasculitis. Candidate predictors included age, sex, ANCA type, creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and use of dialysis. The outcome of interest was kidney failure by 1-year post-enrollment. Candidate predictors were included in iteratively fit logistic regression models with parameters that did not improve fit dropped. Models were internally validated using bootstrapping and externally validated in an 8th randomized controlled trial. Alternative models were compared using discrimination and calibration statistics and decision curve analysis. Results: Kidney failure occurred in 54 of 786 participants in the derivation data. Serum creatinine, fit with a cubic spline, and need for dialysis at baseline resulted in the simplest, most parsimonious model with a C-statistic of 0.919 and Brier score of 0.050 in the derivation data set and a C-statistic and Brier score of 0.876 and 0.102 respectively in the validation data. A simpler model using only serum creatinine categorized as <200 µmol/L, 200 to 300 µmol/L, >300 to 500 µmol/L and >500 µmol/L or receiving dialysis performed similarly to the best model for patients up to an 11% risk and discrimination and calibration statistics in the external validation data were similar to the best fitting model (C-statistic 0.830 and Brier score 0.108). Conclusions: A single serum creatinine is a useful estimator of the risk of kidney failure at one year in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis. Even simple categorization of serum creatinine can reliably identify patients at low risk of kidney failure adequately. Disclosures: The authors have no relevant financial disclosures

description: Markov networks are extensively used to model complex sequential, spatial, and relational interactions in a wide range of fields. By learning the structure of independences of a domain, more accurate joint probability distributions can be obtained for inference tasks or, more directly, for interpreting the most significant relations among the variables. Recently, several researchers have investigated techniques for automatically learning the structure from data by obtaining the probabilistic maximum-a-posteriori structure given the available data. However, all the approximations proposed decompose the posterior of the whole structure into local sub-problems, by assuming that the posteriors of the Markov blankets of all the variables are mutually independent. In this work, we propose a scoring function for relaxing such assumption. The Blankets Joint Posterior score computes the joint posterior of structures as a joint distribution of the collection of its Markov blankets. Essentially, the whole posterior is obtained by computing the posterior of the blanket of each variable as a conditional distribution that takes into account information from other blankets in the network. We show in our experimental results that the proposed approximation can improve the sample complexity of state-of-the-art scores when learning complex networks, where the independence assumption between blanket variables is clearly incorrect.

description: Sandawe (Tanzania) exhibits numerous different clause linkage strategies. Categorising these strategies according to the traditional distinction between coordination and subordination is challenging as Sandawe has an atypical system of marking the subject and TAM of a clause. Furthermore, as discussed in Haiman and Thompson (1984), the concept of ‘subordination’ in clause linkage is itself problematic and needs to be rigorously defined in order to be useful and consistently applicable cross-linguistically. This talks discusses three of the nine types of clause linkage identified in Sandawe which fall in the first category of Dixon’s (2006) three-way division of complex sentences into (i) coordinate and non-embedded subordinate construction, (ii) relative clauses and (iii) complement clauses. The first of these categories is then further classified with reference to the composite approaches to subordination found in Haiman and Thompson (1984) and Lehmann (1988).

description: The identification of peaks or maxima in probability densities, by mode testing or bump hunting, has become an important problem in applied fields. This task has been approached in the statistical literature from different perspectives, with the proposal of testing procedures which are based on kernel density estimators or on the quantification of excess mass. However, none of the existing proposals provides a satisfactory performance in practice. In this work, a new procedure which combines the previous approaches (smoothing and excess mass) is presented and compared with the existing methods, showing a superior behaviour. A real data example on philatelic data is also included for illustration purposes.

description: This paper exposes in a detailed manner the recent findings about the SU(2) scenario for the underdoped phase of the Cuprate superconductors. The SU(2) symmetry is formulated as a rotation between the $d$-wave SC phase and a $d$-wave charge order. We define the operators responsible for the SU(2) rotations and we derive the non-linear $σ$-model associated with it. In this framework, we demonstrate that SU(2) fluctuations are massless in finite portions of the Brillouin Zone corresponding to the anti-nodal regions ($0,$$π$), ($π,0$). We argue that the presence of SU(2) fluctuations in the anti-nodal region leads to the opening of Fermi arcs around the Fermi surface and to the formation of the pseudo-gap. Moreover, we show that SU(2) fluctuations lead, in turn, to the emergence of a finite momentum SC order -or Pair Density Wave (PDW)- and more importantly to a new kind of excitonic particle-hole pairs liquid, the Resonant Excitonic State (RES), which is made of patches of preformed particle-hole pairs with multiple momenta. When the RES liquid becomes critical, we demonstrate that electronic scattering through the critical modes leads to anomalous transport properties. This new finding can account for the Strange Metal (SM) phase at finite temperature, on the right hand side of the SC dome, shedding light on another notoriously mysterious part of the phase diagram of the Cuprates.

description: Statistical methods for functional data are of interest for many applications. In this paper, we prove a central limit theorem for random variables taking their values in a Hilbert space. The random variables are assumed to be weakly dependent in the sense of near epoch dependence, where the underlying process fulfills some mixing conditions. As parametric inference in an finite dimensional space is difficult, we show that the nonoverlapping block bootstrap is consistent. Furthermore, we show how these results can be used for degenerate von Mises-statistics.

description: Let $\mathbb{k}$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We introduce a formalism of mixed sheaves with coefficients in $\mathbb{k}$ and showcase its use in representation theory. More precisely, we construct for all quasi-projective schemes $X$ over an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_p$ a $\mathbb{k}$-linear triangulated category of motives on $X$. Using work of Ayoub (2007), Cisinski-Deglise (2012) and Geisser-Levine (2000), we show that this system of categories has a six functors formalism and computes higher Chow groups. Indeed, it behaves similarly to other categories of sheaves that one is used to. We attempt to make its construction also accessible to non-experts. We then consider the subcategory of stratified mixed Tate motives defined for affinely stratified varieties $X$, discuss perverse and parity motives and prove formality results. As an example, we combine these results and Soergel (2000) to construct a geometric and graded version of Soergel's modular category $\mathscr O(G)$, consisting of rational representations of a split semisimple group $G/\mathbb{k}$, and thereby equip it with a full six functor formalism (see Riche-Soergel-Williamson (2014) and Achar-Riche (2016) for other approaches). The main idea of using motives in geometric representation theory in this way as well as many results about stratified mixed Tate motives are directly borrowed from Soergel and Wendt, who tell the story in characteristic zero.

The Challenges of Project Implementation in Urban Local Government Development Program II (ULGDP II):the Case of Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (MUDHo)
Creators: name: Yimer, Getachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges of Urban Local Government Development Project implementing by MUDHo. In order to meet the objectives of the study, descriptive survey method was employed. 86 respondents were selected for the study by Simple random and purposive sampling technique. Questionnaire containing open and close-ended items constructed in terms of Likert scale were employed in the process of data gathering. The data obtained through the questionnaires were analyzed using frequency, percentages, mean and SD. The information obtained through closed and open-ended questionnaires were organized and analyzed to give meaning for the study by SPSS version 20. Findings from the data analysis revealed that delayed payment to contractors, poor subcontracting, and inconsistent task reviews, poor relations between engineer and contractor, inadequate work inspection ability to anticipate short-term disruptions were constraints related to project management of ULGDP II, differences in reporting formats and timeframes and payment documentation and approval procedures were the major challenges of ULGDP II project implementation of the ministry. The study also concludes that without addressing the multivariate challenges identified by the study it is too difficult to attain the objective set by ULGDPII. The study recommends that. MUDHo, Urban Revenue Enhancement Fund Mobilization and Finance Bureau, regional municipality should develop the human resources, ensure progressive and continuous project planning, designing effective communication channel, provide appropriate timely and constructive feedback, ensuring smooth relationship with all concerned bodies, conducting proper and legal procurements and avoid delay of fund disbursement at all level so that project implementation become effectiveness and efficient.

description: Classical spectral methods are subject to two fundamental limitations: they only can account for covariance-related serial dependencies, and they require second-order stationarity. Much attention has been devoted recently to quantile-based spectral methods that go beyond covariance-based serial dependence features. At the same time, methods relaxing stationarity into much weaker local stationarity conditions have been developed for a variety of time-series models. Here, we are combining those two approaches by proposing quantile-based spectral methods for locally stationary processes. We therefore introduce time-varying versions of the copula spectra and periodograms that have been recently proposed in the literature, along with a new defi nition of strict local stationarity that allows us to handle completely general non-linear processes without any moment assumptions, thus accommodating our quantile-based concepts and methods. We establish the consistency of our methods, and illustrate their power by means of simulations and an empirical study of the Standard & Poor's 500 series. This empirical study brings evidence of important variations in serial dependence structures both across time (crises and quiet periods exhibit quite di fferent dependence structures) and across quantiles (dependencies between extreme quantiles are not the same as in the \median" range of the series). Such variations remain completely undetected, and are actually undetectable, via classical covariance-based spectral methods.

description: A tropical curve in $\mathbb R^{3}$ contributes to Gromov-Witten invariants in all genus. Nevertheless, we present a simple formula for how a given tropical curve contributes to Gromov-Witten invariants when we encode these invariants in a generating function with exponents of $λ$ recording Euler characteristic. Our main modification from the known tropical correspondence formula for rational curves is as follows: a trivalent vertex, which before contributed a factor of $n$ to the count of zero-genus holomorphic curves, contributes a factor of $2\sin(nλ/2)$. We explain how to calculate relative Gromov-Witten invariants using this tropical correspondence formula, and how to obtain the absolute Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas invariants of some $3$-dimensional toric manifolds including $\mathbb CP^{3}$. The tropical correspondence formula counting Donaldson-Thomas invariants replaces $n$ by $i^{-(1+n)}q^{n/2}+i^{1+n}q^{-n/2}$.

Dynamics and optical manipulation of nuclear spin in self assembled (InGa)As/GaAs quantum dots

description: Nuclei and electrons trapped in quantum dots create a strongly interacting spin system due to the strong localization of electrons in quantum dots. Due to strain in self-assembled (In,Ga,As)GaAs quantum dots quadrupole interactions appear which have a significant influence on the nuclear spin system. Therefore it is no longer possible to describe the nuclear spin system as one system with certain characteristics like a buildup time and decay time. Instead, in the case of strain the nuclear spin system can be separated into two subsystems, one with a nuclear spin state |±1/2⟩ which is weakly influenced by quadrupole interactions and the other with nuclear spin states |±3/2⟩, |±5/2⟩,… which is strongly influenced by quadrupole interactions. Each subsystem possesses different characteristic buildup and decay times of dynamic nuclear polarization generated by circular polarized light excitation of the quantum dots. A fast decay mechanism for polarized nuclei occurred during an interruption of the excitation beam for quantum dots with a single resident electron on a nanosecond scale. In relation to this phenomenon strong differences for the dynamic nuclear polarization are detected when either pulsed- or CW-lasers are used for excitation due to the short excitation time in relation to the repetition rate of the pulsed-laser. Further a new effect of optical pumping of nuclear spins in quantum dots is observed. The new effect, called resonant nuclear spin pumping, is observed in a magnetic field oriented perpendicularly to the excitation light beam (Voigt geometry). It creates a nuclear polarization perpendicular to the externally applied magnetic field.

description: La categoría de derechos fundamentales que pretenderemos analizar en este estudio regulado por la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos y por la Constitución Política colombiana son los derechos políticos y electorales, los cuales son el eje central sobre el que se desarrolla la democracia y el pluralismo político. El artículo 23 de la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos consagra los derechos a la participación en la dirección de los asuntos públicos, a votar, a ser elegido, y a acceder a las funciones públicas, los cuales deben ser garantizados por el Estado en condiciones de igualdad. Pero así mismo, consagra las causales que limitan a los ciudadanos la capacidad de ejercer sus derechos políticos, las cuales deben ser implementadas por los Estados con criterios de proporcionalidad, razonabilidad y en aplicación de los principios pro homine y de buena fe que rigen los tratados internacionales, para garantizar y asegurar el ejercicio efectivo de estos derechos.
