description: Based on the development status and development characteristics of the "left-behind" children, we analyze the current situation of the "left-behind" children's values education in China. After studying the training methods and mode of young people's values in the US and Europe, we reflect on the "left-behind" children's values education in China, and point out the following deficiencies in the "left-behind" children's values education in China: the traditional Chinese culture is at the ebb, and socialist core values have not received close attention, being developed sluggishly; the educational content is stale and the method is single; the rise of science education leads to the decline of humanities education, hindering comprehensive human development. We draw the following precious experience from the values education in the UK and the US for the "left-behind" children's values education in China: laying great emphasis on humanities education, to promote comprehensive human development; seeking and reshaping the mainstream values under plural values; giving full play to the social forces, to promote the development of the "left-behind" children's values education.

description: The clinical efficacy and safety of DAURISMO (glasdegib) combined with low-dose cytarabine (LDAC) were demonstrated in the BRIGHT AML 1003 study among newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia patients who are not eligible to receive intensive chemotherapy. This study aims to evaluate its cost-effectiveness versus LDAC alone and azacitidine from a Canadian payer perspective. A partitioned-survival model was developed with three health states: progression-free survival (PFS), relapse/progression and death. Clinical inputs were obtained from the BRIGHT AML 1003 study for glasdegib and LDAC, and from the two trial publications and indirect treatment comparison for azacitidine. Drug acquisition/administration, disease management, adverse event and end-of-life costs were considered. All costs were measured in Canadian dollars. Cost-effectiveness of glasdegib + LDAC was assessed against LDAC alone in main population, and against azacitidine by bone marrow blasts (BMB). A weighted average ICER was calculated to represent the current treatment use of Canadian clinical practice. The reference-case analysis was conducted probabilistically, and numerous probabilistic scenario analyses were conducted. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) compared to LDAC alone was CAD $177,065 (a mean gain of 0.41 QALYs and an incremental cost of CAD $72,695), to azacitidine in 20–30% and >30% BMB group were CAD $178,201 (a mean gain of 0.34 QALYs and an incremental cost of CAD $59,889) and dominant (a mean gain of 0.28 QALYs while reducing costs by CAD $7,856) respectively, resulting in a weighted average ICER of CAD $81,310 per QALY. Though uncertainties remain with the generated PFS curve, the derived azacitidine curves, administration and vial wastage, the model has been built under the best available evidence and relied on clinical opinions where there were data gaps. The weighted average ICER suggests that glasdegib + LDAC is cost-effective at a CAD $100,000 willingness-to-pay threshold.

description: Fracture liaison services (FLS) use a multidisciplinary approach to treat patients who have experienced an osteoporotic fracture to reduce the risk of subsequent fractures. To date, there has been minimal FLS implementation in Latin America where fractures continue to be undertreated. This study aims to estimate the number of fractures averted, bed days avoided, and costs saved resulting from universal FLS implementation in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. A calculator was developed to estimate the annual benefits of FLS programs in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina from a public hospital perspective. It was assumed all patients with a hip, vertebral, or wrist fracture were referred to an FLS program. Country-specific data were obtained from a previous systematic review and interviews with osteoporosis experts. Hospitalization and post-hospitalization costs were expressed in 2019 USD without discounting. Costs of FLS implementation were not considered. In 2019, the number of FLS patients prevented from having a subsequent hip, vertebral, or wrist fracture was estimated as 15,607 in Brazil, 8,168 in Mexico, 5,190 in Argentina, and 2,435 in Colombia with total bed days saved of 142,378 in Brazil, 75,877 in Mexico, 52,301 in Argentina, and 21,725 in Colombia. The annual cost savings in 2019 were highest in Argentina (28.1 million USD), followed by Mexico (19.6 million USD), Brazil (7.64 million USD) and Colombia (3.04 million USD). Over five years (2019–2023) the cumulative cost savings were 145 million USD in Argentina, 106 million USD in Mexico, 40.5 million USD in Brazil, and 16.1 million USD in Colombia. Universal FLS implementation in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina was predicted to prevent 31,400 fractures, avoid 292,281 bed days, and save 58.4 million USD in 2019, though caution is warranted in the interpretation of these results due to high uncertainty. Increased implementation of FLS programs in Latin American countries may help to realize these benefits.

description: The two-body Dirac equations for the bound q bar q systems are obtained from the different (five) versions of the 3D-equations derived from Bethe-Salpeter equation with the instantaneous kernel in the momentum space using the additional approximations. There are formulated the normalization conditions for the wave functions satisfying the obtained two-body Dirac equations. The spin structure of the confining qq interaction potential is taken in the form x gamma0 X gamma0 + (1-x) I X I, with 0 < x < 1. It is shown that the two-body Dirac equations obtained from the Salpeter equation does not depend on x. As to other four versions such a dependence is left. For the systems (u bar s), (c bar u), (c bar s) the dependence of the stable solutions of the Dirac equations obtained in the different version on the mixture parameter x is investigated and results is compared with such dependence of 3D-equations derived from Bethe-Salpeter equations without the additional approximation and some new conclusions are obtained.

description: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) originates from squamous cells lining the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck region, affecting areas such as the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, larynx, and hypopharynx [1]. Drug repurposing offers a cost-effective approach to identify new treatments by reutilizing existing drugs with established safety profiles [2]. Exploring protein domain interactions can uncover new insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets [3].

description: Given observations of the standard candles and the cosmic chronometers, we apply Padé parameterization to the comoving distance and the Hubble paramter to find how stringent the constraint is set to the curvature parameter by the data. A weak informative prior is introduced in the modeling process to keep the inference away from the singularities. Bayesian evidence for different order of Padé parameterizations is evaluated during the inference to select the most suitable parameterization in light of the data. The data we used prefer a parameterization form of comoving distance as $D_{01}(z)=\frac{a_0 z}{1+b_1 z}$ as well as a competitive form $D_{02}(z)=\frac{a_0 z}{1+b_1 z + b_2 z^2}$. Similar constraints on the spatial curvature parameter are established by those models and given the Hubble constant as a byproduct: $Ω_k = 0.25^{+0.14}_{-0.13}$ (68\% confidence level [C.L.]), $H_0 = 67.7 \pm 2.0$ km/s/Mpc (68\% C.L.) for $D_{01}$, and $Ω_k = -0.01 \pm 0.13$ (68\% C.L.), $H_0 = 68.8 \pm 2.0$ km/s/Mpc (68\% C.L.) for $D_{02}$. The evidence of different models demonstrates the qualitative analysis of the Padé parameterizations for the comoving distance.

description: In August 2018, the US FDA granted accelerated approval for nivolumab in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and at least one other line of therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of nivolumab vs. usual care as third-line (3 L) therapy for patients with recurrent SCLC (rSCLC) from the health payer perspective. Given the potential for a meaningful fraction of treated patients to achieve long-term response to nivolumab, we also assessed the impact of using mixture cure modeling (MCM) vs. parametric survival modeling on survival estimates and cost-effectiveness from the US Medicare payer perspective. We created a partitioned survival decision model to assess the cost-effectiveness of 3 L nivolumab vs. usual care in rSCLC, based on observed US treatment patterns. Using this approach, we assessed the impact of extrapolating long-term survival from the CheckMate 032 trial, using both MCM and standard parametric curve fits. Nivolumab survival, resource use, and Grade 3/4 adverse event rates were derived from CheckMate 032. Usual care survival, resource use, and costs were derived from an analysis of patients receiving 3 L treatment for rSCLC in the SEER-Medicare registry. We applied 2020 Wholesale Acquisition Cost for drugs and 2020 CMS reimbursement for procedures. Utilities were derived from the literature. We estimated life years (LY), quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and costs over a lifetime horizon. MCM and parametric survival model extrapolations resulted in 0.43 versus 0.38 more LYs, 0.34 versus 0.30 more QALYs, and $69,308 versus $61,336 more expenditure for nivolumab vs. usual care, respectively. The costs per QALY gained using mixture cure versus parametric survival modeling were $204,386 and $207,431, respectively. Mixture cure modeling was equivalent compared to parametric modeling in estimating the cost-effectiveness of nivolumab-based therapy due to the small fraction of patients achieving a long-term response with nivolumab (12.9%).

description: The B modes generated by the lensing of CMB polarization are a primary target for the upcoming generation of experiments and can potentially constrain quantities such as the neutrino mass and dark energy equation of state. The net sample variance on the small scale B modes out to l=2000 exceeds Gaussian expectations by a factor of 10 reflecting the variance of the larger scale lenses that generate them. It manifests itself as highly correlated band powers with correlation coefficients approaching 70% for wide bands of Delta l/l \~0.25. It will double the total variance for experiments that achieve a sensitivity of approximately 4 uK-arcmin and a beam of several arcminutes or better. This non-Gaussianity must be taken into account in the analysis of experiments that go beyond first detection.

description: Foreign trade is a fundamental driver of Uzbekistan's economic growth, facilitating global economic integration, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), and fostering industrial modernization. In 2023, Uzbekistan's total trade turnover amounted to $60.8 billion, reflecting a 23.5% year-on-year increase (State Committee on Statistics, 2024). This growth is attributed to a series of trade liberalization policies, economic diversification, and strategic partnerships with key trading blocs. However, challenges such as high reliance on primary commodities (gold and natural gas constitute 47% of exports), limited technological exports, and logistical constraints persist.

description: Atomistic simulations are performed to study the statistical mechanical property of gold nanoparticles. It is demonstrated that the yielding behavior of gold nanoparticles is governed by dislocation nucleation around surface steps. Since the nucleation of dislocations is an activated process with the aid of thermal fluctuation, the yield stress at a specific temperature should exhibit a statistical distribution rather than a definite constant value. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the yield stress follows a Gaussian distribution at a specific temperature. As the temperature increases, the mean value of yield stress decreases while the width of distribution becomes larger. Based on numerical analysis, the dependence of the mean yield stress on temperature can be well described by a parabolic function. Present study illuminates the statistical features of the yielding behavior of nanostructured elements.

description: To build upon previous outdated studies by comprehensively assessing the direct healthcare burden of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Patients with ≥2 diagnoses for ADPKD (ADPKD cohort) were identified in the US fee-for-use IBM Truven Health Analytics MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and IBM Truven Health Analytics MarketScan Medicare Supplemental databases (01 January 2015–31 December 2017) and matched (1:3) to controls without ADPKD (non-ADPKD cohort). The index date was the last calendar date followed by 12 months continuous enrollment (study period). Patients with ADPKD were stratified into one of seven mutually exclusive groups based on chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages (I–V), end-stage renal disease requiring renal replacement therapy (ESRD-RRT), and unknown stage. During the 12-month study period, patients with ADPKD incurred significantly higher total healthcare costs than those without ADPKD (mean cost difference = $22,879 per patient per year [PPPY]; p p Results may not be representative of the overall ADPKD US population; CKD stage was based on diagnosis and procedure codes; criteria used to identify ADPKD at risk of rapid progression did not rely on laboratory values; there may be billing inaccuracies and omissions in health insurance claims data. This study demonstrated the substantial healthcare costs associated with ADPKD, which increased as patients progressed through more severe CKD stages.

Quantum nonlocality in the presence of superselection rules and data hiding protocols

description: We consider a quantum system subject to superselection rules, for which certain restrictions apply to the quantum operations that can be implemented. It is shown how the notion of quantum-nonlocality has to be redefined in the presence of superselection rules: there exist separable states that cannot be prepared locally and exhibit some form of nonlocality. Moreover, the notion of local distinguishability in the presence of classical communication has to be altered. This can be used to perform quantum information tasks that are otherwise impossible. In particular, this leads to the introduction of perfect quantum data hiding protocols, for which quantum communication (eventually in the form of a separable but nonlocal state) is needed to unlock the secret.

description: Here, we propose a class of scale-free networks $G(t;m)$ with some intriguing properties, which can not be simultaneously held by all the theoretical models with power-law degree distribution in the existing literature, including (i) average degrees $\langle k\rangle$ of all the generated networks are no longer a constant in the limit of large graph size, implying that they are not sparse but dense, (ii) power-law parameters $γ$ of these networks are precisely calculated equal to $2$, as well (iii) their diameters $D$ are all an invariant in the growth process of models. While our models have deterministic structure with clustering coefficients equivalent to zero, we might be able to obtain various candidates with nonzero clustering coefficient based on original networks using some reasonable approaches, for instance, randomly adding some new edges under the premise of keeping the three important properties above unchanged. In addition, we study trapping problem on networks $G(t;m)$ and then obtain closed-form solution to mean hitting time $\langle \mathcal{H}\rangle_{t}$. As opposed to other previous models, our results show an unexpected phenomenon that the analytic value for $\langle \mathcal{H}\rangle_{t}$ is approximately close to the logarithm of vertex number of networks $G(t;m)$. From the theoretical point of view, these networked models considered here can be thought of as counterexamples for most of the published models obeying power-law distribution in current study.

description: The growth and composition of the North Dakota economy have been measured by using economic base analysis. Economic base (sales for final demand) has been estimated for sectors corresponding to the North Dakota Input-Output Model and for industrial categories. These two measures produce the same total basic economic activity, but use different delineations. North Dakota’s economic base has grown from $8.3 billion in 1990 to $33.2 billion in 2011 when measured in current year (nominal) dollars. When measured in real or constant dollars, the economy grew from $13.0 billion in 1990 to $33.2 billion in 2011. Constant dollars remove the effects of inflation and were calculated using the Gross Domestic Product Implicit Price Deflators. Nominal growth of the state’s economy from 1990 to 2011 was 127.2 percent, which amounted to 77.6 percent real growth. Natural resource-based activities (agriculture and energy) continue to comprise over half of the state’s economic base, accounting for 50.1 percent in 2011.

description: Aportes teóricos oriundos do neo-institucionalismo têm sido amplamente utilizados na análise de cadeias agroindustriais brasileira nos últimos anos. Concentrando-se nas relações verticais entre agentes econômicos, a Economia dos Custos de Transação (ECT) propõe um modelo de análise que explora a forma como compradores e vendedores fazem suas escolhas organizacionais buscando minimizar os custos de transação. Essas escolhas, denominadas estruturas de governança no jargão ECT, seriam feitas com base em características específicas da transação, aqui chamadas atributos das transações. Buscando explicar as relações que se formam entre os atores de um mesmo segmento produtivo, o aporte de Redes de Poder auxilia na investigação das dinâmicas organizacionais presentes em um determinado setor. Dessa forma, o modo como os atores privados se relacionam entre si, com suas associações de representação e com as agências governamentais são explorados buscando identificar que elementos determinam a capacidade de um ator coordenar e exercer influência nas operações da cadeia produtiva ou na formulação de políticas publicas e privadas para o setor. Apresentando uma boa capacidade descritiva e normativa, esses dois aportes possibilitam o entendimento das estruturas organizacionais e dos processos de decisão de um determinado setor. Este artigo buscara a integração dos dois aportes acima mencionados com o objetivo de analisar as estratégias de compra de trigo por um moinho atuante no estado de São Paulo. Assim, serão analisadas tanto as relações dessa empresa com seus fornecedores (tradings, produtores e cooperativas) no que se veio a chamar coordenação vertical, como as relações com os demais moinhos e associações de representação que atuam no setor, a chamada coordenação horizontal. Este trabalho defende que a análise dessas formas de coordenação auxilia no entendimento de como a empresa estudada traçou suas estratégias de compra de trigo.

description: A simple model is proposed for nematogenic molecules that favor perpendicular orientations as well as parallel ones. (Charged rods, for example, show this antagonistic tendency.) When a small disorienting field is applied along $z$, a low density phase $N_-$ of nematic order parameter $S_z<0$ coexists with a dense biaxial nematic $N_b$. (At zero field, $N_-$ becomes isotropic and $N_b$ uniaxial.) But at stronger fields, a new phase $N_{+4}$, invariant under $π/2$ rotations around the field axis, appears in between $N_-$ and $N_b$. Prospects for finding the $N_{+4}$ phase experimentally are briefly discussed.

Repenser la recherche doctorale par le projet architectural : les reconfigurations épistémologiques au croisement de l’architecture et des arts visuels
Creators: name: Charitonidou, Marianna
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2020

description: Ce projet de recherche vise à explorer quelques pistes spécifiques de la recherche par le projet en architecture au niveau doctoral. Deux terrains d’étude : celui qui examine les divers modes de concevoir la recherche par le projet en architecture et ses points de divergences avec la recherche sur le projet dans le même domaine et celui qui étudie les points de divergences et convergents entre la recherche par le projet en architecture et celle-ci en arts visuels. Alors que le projet est placé au centre de l’enseignement dans les écoles d’architecture, la reconnaissance du projet comme dispositif de recherche scientifique reste un sujet controversé. La possibilité de considérer le projet comme une activité de recherche au niveau doctoral implique de concevoir la recherche comme un processus d’enquête exploratoire, spéculatif voire expérimental, dont l'objet est la création de connaissances. Une spécificité des connaissances acquises à travers la recherche par le projet en architecture est l’exploration du statut de dessins architecturaux et la réinvention des voies d’établir de rapports visuels entre le sujet qui produit les artefacts architecturaux et le sujet qui les interprètent. Un point de départ de ce projet est la reconnaissance que cette question, qui se situe au cœur de toute pratique architecturale, ne peut pas s’adresser de manière satisfaisante en termes épistémologiques par les projets doctoraux qui s’effectuent selon de modèles qui imitent les modèles des thèses en sciences humaines, qui constituent l’exemple dominant dans la majorité des écoles d’architecture au niveau européen. De fait, les recherches par le projet sont souvent reléguées à des domaines multi- ou interdisciplinaires, un décentrement qui a des implications sur le paysage universitaire d'autant plus notables que, d'un autre côté, les sciences exactes témoignent elles d'un intérêt toujours grandissant pour les modèles appliqués de la recherche.

description: Control over the quantum states of a massive oscillator is important for several technological applications and to test the fundamental limits of quantum mechanics. Addition of an internal degree of freedom to the oscillator could be a valuable resource for such control. Recently, hybrid electromechanical systems using superconducting qubits, based on electric-charge mediated coupling, have been quite successful. Here, we realize a hybrid device, consisting of a superconducting transmon qubit and a mechanical resonator coupled using the magnetic-flux. The coupling stems from the quantum-interference of the superconducting phase across the tunnel junctions. We demonstrate a vacuum electromechanical coupling rate up to 4 kHz by making the transmon qubit resonant with the readout cavity. Consequently, thermal-motion of the mechanical resonator is detected by driving the hybridized-mode with mean-occupancy well below one photon. By tuning qubit away from the cavity, electromechanical coupling can be enhanced to 40 kHz. In this limit, a small coherent drive on the mechanical resonator results in the splitting of qubit spectrum, and we observe interference signature arising from the Landau-Zener-Stückelberg effect. With improvements in qubit coherence, this system offers a novel platform to realize rich interactions and could potentially provide full control over the quantum motional states.

description: Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) has a progressive course of disability with continuous neurological worsening. We investigated societal costs of PPMS in Australia and the economic impact of increasing the independence of people with PPMS through delaying disease progression. This prevalence-based retrospective cost-of-illness analysis used observational data from publicly available secondary data sources and literature findings. Direct and indirect costs of PPMS were considered. A replica estimated population was created using the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling (NATSEM) microsimulation model of the Australian tax and transfer system (STINMOD+). Using a budget impact analysis approach, we modelled the effect on PPMS costs of an effective hypothetical disease-modifying treatment (DMT) that delays disease progression by a year from mild to moderate and a further year from moderate to severe PPMS. An estimated 31,650 Australians have multiple sclerosis (MS) including 4,430 with PPMS. The proportion with PPMS was estimated to increase with age and disease severity. Overall 25% of males with MS, and 10% of females, were estimated to have PPMS. Societal cost of PPMS in Australia in 2018 was estimated at AU$418.1 million. Indirect costs contributed 67.5% of total costs, attributable to reduced workforce participation and need for informal care. The modelled DMT was estimated to create savings of AU$14.9 million (3.6%). Fewer people had moderate and severe PPMS resulting in major cost savings, partially offset by increased costs of treatment, care and support for a relative increase in the number of people with mild PPMS and their increased productivity losses. Publicly available data may be incomplete. The potential cost of the DMT was not considered. The economic burden of PPMS was estimated at AU$418 million in 2018. An effective DMT that delayed progression from disease severity states by one year could provide significant cost savings.

description: This study compared medication use, healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and exacerbations among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who initiated glycopyrrolate/eFlow Closed System nebulizer 25 mcg/mL glycopyrrolate (hereafter GLY) in a real-world setting before and after treatment initiation. Retrospective claims and hospital charge master data were used to identify individuals ≥ 40 years of age diagnosed with COPD who initiated GLY between 1 April 2018 and 28 February 2019 (first prescription claim = index date). Patients were excluded if they had ≥1 asthma diagnosis in the 6-month pre-index period. The proportion of patients with COPD-related medications, other outpatient HRU, hospitalizations, and exacerbations were compared between the 6-month pre-index and 6-month follow-up periods. Among patients utilizing the service, per-person utilization rates were compared between the two periods. Among patients initiating GLY (n = 767), the mean age was 71.4 years, 56.1% were female, and the mean Charlson Comorbidity Index score was 2.0. The mean number of GLY claims per person was 3.8 during the follow-up period. Compared to the pre-index period, a lower proportion of patients had claims for COPD medications including oral corticosteroids (62.1% vs. 69.1%, p = .0001) and fixed-dose SAMA/SABA (26.1% vs. 33.0%, p p p p = .005), or moderate exacerbation (48.0% vs. 53.2%, p = .01) after initiating GLY. Among patients with linkage to inpatient data (n = 316), fewer were hospitalized (7.9% vs. 13.0%, p = .037) and hospital length of stay was shorter (1.9 vs. 3.6 days, p = .017) after initiating GLY/eFlow. Among patients initiating GLY in a real-world setting, COPD medications, hospitalizations, other HRU, and exacerbations decreased after treatment initiation compared with the 6-month pre-index period.
