description: Cancer treatments have advanced tremendously, but we do not fully understand patients' priorities in receiving care. This thesis examines how advanced cancer patients in Malaysia value and rank several important outcomes in cancer care, such as quality of life outcomes, severity of pain, place of death, and survival extension. It finds that they value improved quality of life more than merely extending their survival because it is critical for them to minimise the impacts of cancer on their physical, psychological, and social well-being. After three months, patients' preferences are found to change significantly. The findings of this thesis support the need for early integration of palliative and supportive care into cancer care to enhance patients' quality of life.
Quantum resource theories in the single-shot regime

description: One of the main goals of any resource theory such as entanglement, quantum thermodynamics, quantum coherence, and asymmetry, is to find necessary and sufficient conditions (NSC) that determine whether one resource can be converted to another by the set of free operations. Here we find such NSC for a large class of quantum resource theories which we call affine resource theories (ART). ARTs include the resource theories of athermality, asymmetry, and coherence, but not entanglement. Remarkably, the NSC can be expressed as a family of inequalities between resource monotones (quantifiers) that are given in terms of the conditional min entropy. The set of free operations is taken to be (1) the maximal set (i.e. consists of all resource non-generating (RNG) quantum channels) or (2) the self-dual set of free operations (i.e. consists of all RNG maps for which the dual map is also RNG). As an example, we apply our results to quantum thermodynamics with Gibbs preserving operations, and several other ARTs. Finally, we discuss the applications of these results to resource theories that are not affine, and along the way, provide the NSC that a quantum resource theory consists of a resource destroying map.

description: Scope of the WP6 Training & education: Addressing the skills gap is to address the skills gaps that are relevant to support HPC applications in materials, both on the shorter­ and on the medium/longer­term perspective. In order to do so, the CoE planned to structure a specific section in the CoE portal (http://www.max­centre.eu), so to allow users access to the available training and education offer and learning materials. This intends to include activities offered by both the consortium and external institutions, to maintain an updated map of the existing initiatives in training and education and of the emerging needs in view of future roadmap and initiatives. All instruments are being developed in close connection with other CoE’s, PRACE, Quantum ESPRESSO Foundation etc. This document is the deliverable D6.2 of the MaX project and briefly describes the Webpage with education resources developed on the MaX website. The related staff developed of a specific section of the CoE portal dedicated to Education and Training, allowing users access to the available offer and learning materials. (month 12) This is a living document and will be updated continuously in the course of the project.

description: The analytic "equilibrium model" for galaxy evolution using a mass balance equation is able to reproduce mean observed galaxy scaling relations between stellar mass, halo mass, star formation rate (SFR) and metallicity across the majority of cosmic time with a small number of parameters related to feedback. Here we aim to test this data-constrained model to quantify deviations from the mean relation between stellar mass and SFR, i.e. the star-forming galaxy main sequence (MS). We implement fluctuation in halo accretion rates parameterised from merger-based simulations, and quantify the intrinsic scatter introduced into the MS under the assumption that fluctuations in star formation follow baryonic inflow fluctuations. We predict the 1-sigma MS scatter to be ~ 0.2 - 0.25 dex over the stellar mass range 10^8 Mo to 10^11 Mo and a redshift range 0.5 < z < 3 for SFRs averaged over 100 Myr. The scatter increases modestly at z > 3, as well as by averaging over shorter timescales. The contribution from merger-induced star formation is generally small, around 5% today and 10 - 15% during the peak epoch of cosmic star formation. These results are generally consistent with available observations, suggesting that deviations from the MS primarily reflect stochasticity in the inflow rate owing to halo mergers.

description: We present a complete framework for numerical calculation of the power spectrum and bispectrum in canonical inflation with an arbitrary number of light or heavy fields. Our method includes all relevant effects at tree-level in the loop expansion, including (i) interference between growing and decaying modes near horizon exit; (ii) correlation and coupling between species near horizon exit and on superhorizon scales; (iii) contributions from mass terms; and (iv) all contributions from coupling to gravity. We track the evolution of each correlation function from the vacuum state through horizon exit and the superhorizon regime, with no need to match quantum and classical parts of the calculation; when integrated, our approach corresponds exactly with the tree-level Schwinger or 'in-in' formulation of quantum field theory. In this paper we give the equations necessary to evolve all two- and three-point correlation functions together with suitable initial conditions. The final formalism is suitable to compute the amplitude, shape, and scale dependence of the bispectrum in models with |fNL| of order unity or less, which are a target for future galaxy surveys such as Euclid, DESI and LSST. As an illustration we apply our framework to a number of examples, obtaining quantitatively accurate predictions for their bispectra for the first time. Two accompanying reports describe publicly-available software packages that implement the method.

description: A decade of intense research on two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals has revealed that their properties can differ greatly from those of the parent compound. These differences are governed by changes in the band structure due to quantum confinement and are most profound if the underlying lattice symmetry changes. Here we report a high-quality 2D electron gas in few-layer InSe encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride under an inert atmosphere. Carrier mobilities are found to exceed 1,000 and 10,000 cm2/Vs at room and liquid-helium temperatures, respectively, allowing the observation of the fully-developed quantum Hall effect. The conduction electrons occupy a single 2D subband and have a small effective mass. Photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals that the bandgap increases by more than 0.5 eV with decreasing the thickness from bulk to bilayer InSe. The band-edge optical response vanishes in monolayer InSe, which is attributed to monolayer's mirror-plane symmetry. Encapsulated 2D InSe expands the family of graphene-like semiconductors and, in terms of quality, is competitive with atomically-thin dichalcogenides and black phosphorus.
Treatment Outcomes of HIV-infected Patients on Second Line ART in Selected Health Facilities of Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Kebede, Adisu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Ethiopian government launched free ART initiative in 2005, since then, there is an unprecedented effort to scale-up ART and access to HIV care. Following massive rollout of ART, large numbers of people are receiving first-line ART and as the cohort mature, the number of people living with HIV who will fail and switching will steadily increase. Identifying treatment failure in patients taking ART in order to propose early therapeutic switches to another available ART regimen is essential. In Ethiopia, there is no study on treatment outcome for the second line anti-retroviral therapy. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the clinical, immunological and virological treatment outcomes of patients on second line antiretroviral therapy among adult HIV/AIDS patients in selected public health facilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted between July 2014 and June 2015.A total of 236 adult HIV patients who were on second line ART for more than six month were included. Clinical specimen were collected from each client during routine clinic visits. Viral load and CD4 cell count tests were done and basic clinical information were extracted from the medical record. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 software. P values <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: Among the total of 236 HIV infected individuals received second line ART, 111(47%)were male and 125(53 %)were female. The mean age was 40+ 10SD (18-78)years and the average time on second line treatment was 2.4+ 1.17SD(0.5-7.5) years. The average CD4 count at switch to second line ART was 133 cells/mm3(4-519)[95%CI:121.4-145] and there was significant increase in mean CD4 count to 338 cells/mm3 after switch to second line ART. About 204 (86.4% )the of the patients had undetectable viral load. Conclusion: In this study, we observed a significant improvement in clinical and immunological condition as well as good virological suppression in patients after starting second line therapy. Even though higher viral load suppression observed, 32(13.5% )of the study participants also have virological failure.

description: We study the thermal transport properties of general conformal field theories (CFTs) on curved spacetimes in the leading order viscous hydrodynamic limit. At the level of linear response, we show that the thermal transport is governed by a system of forced linearised Navier-Stokes equations on a curved space. Our setup includes CFTs in flat spacetime that have been deformed by spatially dependent and periodic local temperature variations or strains that have been applied to the CFT, and hence is relevant to CFTs arising in condensed matter systems at zero charge density. We provide specific examples of deformations which lead to thermal backflow driven by a DC source: that is, the thermal currents locally flow in the opposite direction to the applied DC thermal source. We also consider thermal transport for relativistic quantum field theories that are not conformally invariant.

description: We study the quark mass dependence of the H-dibaryon in the strangeness $S=-2$ baryon-baryon scattering. A low-energy effective field theory is used to describe the coupled-channel scattering, in which the quark mass dependence is incorporated so as to reproduce the lattice QCD data by the HAL QCD collaboration in the SU(3) limit. We point out the existence of the Castillejo-Dalitz-Dyson (CDD) pole in the $ΛΛ$ scattering amplitude below the threshold in the SU(3) limit, which may cause the Ramsauer-Townsend effect near the $NΞ$ threshold at the physical point. The H-dibaryon is unbound at the physical point, and a resonance appears just below the $NΞ$ threshold. As a consequence of the coupled-channel dynamics, the pole associated with the resonance is not continuously connected to the bound state in the SU(3) limit. Through the extrapolation in quark masses, we show that the unitary limit of the $ΛΛ$ scattering is achieved between the physical point and the SU(3) limit. We discuss the possible realization of the "H-matter" in the unphysical quark mass region.

description: Background: rivers are an important source for drinking, irrigation, recreation and other domestic purposes. However, if it is polluted, it can act as the storehouse of harmful infectious agents that possess multiple drug resistant genes, which is a growing public health concern. Objective: To determine gram negative bacterial profile and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern from selected sewage polluted urban rivers of Addis Ababa. Methods: A cross sectional prospective study was conducted from February – April 2017. Water samples were collected from the rivers that pass through ten sub cities of Addis Ababa. Turbid samples were tenfold diluted (1:10) with sterile physiological saline. Samples were inoculated on blood and MacConkey agar. Presumptively isolated organisms were identified by BioMerieux VITEK 2 COMPACT machine. Antimicrobialsusceptibility patternwas alsoperformedfor 19 antibiotics by the machine with minimum inhibitory concentration technique. Epidata 3.1 was used as data entry and SPSS 20 was used for data analysis. Results:From a total of 94 river water samples, 150 gram negative bacterial isolates were recovered to the species level and 30 isolates were not identified by the machine. The isolation rate was 98% (92 samples were positive for one or more than one bacterial isolates). The predominant species were A. hydrophylia/cavae 26 (17%) followed by E.coli 23(15%), K.pneumonia 18(12%), Rautella species 18(12%), K. oxytoca 17 (11%).The least identified species was E.gergovia and C.braki1(1%). A. Hydrophila/Cavae showed high level of resistance to cefazolin 10 (38%), cefoxitin 9 (35%) and trimethoprim sulphomethoxazole 10 (38%). E.coli. showed also high level of resistance to many of tested antibiotics like ampicillin 21 (91.3%), and 16(70%) resistance to Cefalotin, Cefuroxime, Ceftriaxone and Cefepime. Both K.Pneumoniae and K.oxytoca showed high resistance to ampicillin 16(94%) and 17(95%) respectively. Among identified bacterial species, most of them showed multidrug resistant pattern. Providential retigerri showed 100% MDR Followed by P.Alkalificiens (90%), E.coli (78%), Morganella species (75%), and C.frundi (60%). Conclusion and Recommendation: A.hydrophila/cavae and E.Coliwere the most predominant bacterial isolates. Most of identified bacterial species were highly resistant to ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulnic acid. Drug resistance and MDR were very high in this study.

Turbulent-diffusion Mediated CO Depletion in Weakly Turbulent Protoplanetary disks

description: Volatiles, especially CO, are important gas tracers of protoplanetary disks (PPDs). Freeze-out and sublimation processes determine their division between gas and solid phases, which affects both which disk regions can be traced by which volatiles, and the formation and composition of planets. Recently, multiple lines of evidence suggest that CO is substantially depleted from the gas in the outer regions of PPDs. In this letter, we show that the gas dynamics in the outer PPDs facilitates volatile depletion through a mechanism which we term "runaway freeze-out". Using a simple 1D model that incorporates dust settling, turbulent diffusion of dust and volatiles, as well as volatile freeze-out/sublimation processes, we show that as long as turbulence in the cold midplane is sufficiently weak to allow majority of the small grains to settle, CO in the warm surface layer can be turbulently mixed into the midplane region and depleted by freeze-out. The level of depletion sensitively depends on the level of disk turbulence. Based on recent disk simulations that suggest a layered turbulence profile with very weak midplane turbulence and strong turbulence at disk surface, CO and other volatiles can be efficiently depleted by a factor of a few over Myr timescales.

Creators: name: Mengistu, Teklay
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Background: Reference interval (RI) for hematological parameters are used for a comparative decision-making process by the treating physician, for diagnosis, management and monitoring of hematologic disorders. Manufacturers' package inserts RI, which is western population based, is the most frequently external source of hematologic parameters. However, many factors like gender, age, environmental, lifestyle, and ethnicity influence hematological parameters. Objective: To establish hematological parameters reference interval for adults of Dire Dawa Population, Dire-Dawa. Methods: A cross sectional study design was employed for hematologic reference interval determination in Dire Dawa City Administration from January to May 2019. The study participants were from strata of adults (18-65 ages of both sexes) and pregnant women. After obtaining informed written consent, data was conveniently collected using a well-defined questionnaire that covers exclusion criteria. Fresh whole blood of 5ml was collected and 2ml poured into K3EDTA and analyzed by Mindray BC-3000plus hematology analyzer and 3ml for serology tests. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24, the 95% reference intervals for each hematological parameters were calculated. Statistical significance was determined at p< 0.05. Result: A total of 472 individuals, aged 18 to 65 years for adult groups of both gender and 15 to 49 years for pregnant women were the final study participants in this study. Their mean ± SD age was 30.93±9.34 years. The respective 95% reference intervals for males, females and pregnant women were for WBC: 3.5-10.3x103/μl, 3.8-10.2x103/μl and 3.6-11.8 x103/μl; for Hgb: 12.40-17.50gm/dl, 10.78-15.25gm/dl and 9.5-13.50gm/dl; for RBC: 4.46-6.15x106/μl, 3.81-5.49 x106/μl and 3.67-5.07x106/μl; for HCT: 43.8-58.5%, 37.48-52.08% and 32.20-46.03%; for PLT: 164.0-447.00x103/μl, 177.0-442.27x103/μl and 157.5-421.5x103/μl. A statistically significant difference was observed between males and females for almost all hematologic parameters. Conclusion: There was a significant difference for most hematologic parameters based on genders and between pregnant and non-pregnant women. The RI obtained in this study is different from the values currently practiced in Dire Dawa town underscoring the need for locally appropriate intervals.

We also explore the efficacy of including galaxy shape information in redshift estimation. Support vector machines, a type of machine learning, utilize optimization theory and supervised learning algorithms to construct predictive models based on the information content of data in a way that can treat different input features symmetrically. Methods: The custom support vector machine package we have developed is designated SPIDERz and made available to the community. As test data for evaluating performance and comparison with other methods, we apply SPIDERz to four distinct data sets: 1) the publicly available portion of the PHAT-1 catalog based on the GOODS-N field with spectroscopic redshifts in the range $z < 3.6$, 2) 14365 galaxies from the COSMOS bright survey with photometric band magnitudes, morphology, and spectroscopic redshifts inside $z < 1.4$, 3) 3048 galaxies from the overlap of COSMOS photometry and morphology with 3D-HST spectroscopy extending to $z < 3.9$, and 4) 2612 galaxies with five-band photometric magnitudes and morphology from the All-wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey and $z < 1.57$. Results: We find that SPIDER-z achieves results competitive with other empirical packages on the PHAT-1 data, and performs quite well in estimating redshifts with the COSMOS and AEGIS data, including in the cases of a large redshift range ($0 < z < 3.9$). We also determine from analyses with both the COSMOS and AEGIS data that the inclusion of morphological information does not have a statistically significant benefit for photometric redshift estimation with the techniques employed here.

Helicobacter pylori infectionamong dyspeptic and non-dyspeptic HIV patients at YekaHealth center, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Seid, Getachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: Helicobacter pylori is a potent producer of urease. HIV infected patients experience many form of opportunistic infections including gastrointestinal symptoms. The exact role of H. pylori infection among HIV infected patients in causing gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia remains unclear. There are limited data regarding H. pylori infection in HIV- positive patients in relation to CD4 count in our region and country. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection using stool antigen among dyspeptic and non -dyspeptic HIV patients at Yeka health center, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: A case control study enrolling 370 study participantswas conducted from January- June 2017. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected and3 milliliter blood was drawn aseptically for CD4+T cell count and complete blood count. Stool samples were collected for H. pylori stool antigen test. All necessary data were recorded on questionnaires and data sheet. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS version 20.Logistic regression analysis was used to see the relation between dependent and independent variables. Results: Of the 370 (185 dyspeptic and 185 non-dyspeptic) study participants, H. pyloriantigen was detected in 117 (31.62%) participants. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was slightly higher in dyspepsia patients 60/185 (32.43%) than non-dyspepsia 57/185 (30.81%) individuals [AOR=1.097, 95% CI: 0.689-1.747, p=0.697]. The infection was significantly associated with gender in non dyspepsiapatients [AOR=2.612, 95% CI: 1.338-5.099, p=0.015] whilein non- dyspepsia patients the association was not significantly [AOR=0.805, 95% CI: 0.393-1.648), p=0.639]. In both patient groups, no significant association was observed in the prevalence of H. pylori with age, family size, educational status, marital status, toilet use habit, occupation,alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking and khat chewing (p>0.05). In both case and control group H.pylori infection was higher in patients with CD4T cell count greater than 200cells/μl. Conclusion: The prevalence of H. pylori infection was slightly high among symptomatic than non-symptomatic patients. The infection was not significantly associated with socio- demographic and behavioral factors while it was higher in patients with higher CD4 T cell count.The observed prevalence of H. pylori stool antigen positivity necessitates the need to design and apply intervention measures that could decrease transmission and thus minimize the clinical consequences of infection.

Year: 2014

description: Introduction: - Wound infections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Etiologic agents of wound infections vary with geographical locations. Pathogens that infect wounds can be part of normal flora or acquired from the hospital environment. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of pathogens cultured from infected wound and determine their antimicrobial resistance pattern to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Methods: prospective cross sectional study was conducted at ARFTH from December 2013 to May 2014. Swabs from different types of wounds were processed to investigate etiologic agents using standard microbiological technique. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were done using disc diffusion technique as per the standard modified Kirby-Bauer method. Result Out of 300 wound swab samples analyzed, 205(68.3%) were culture positive. 33 (16.1%) of the culture had double infections. and total 238 bacteria were isolated from 205 cases.. Staphylococcus aureus was the most frequently isolated pathogen which accounted for 91 (38.2%) of isolates followed by Pseudomonas aeroginesa 53 (22.3%). The sensitivity rates of norfloxacin, gentamicin and ceftriaxone were 82.8%, 78.9%, and 76.9% respectively. The overall MDR (resistant to three or more antibiotics) rate of gram positive bacteria were 73.6% and 67.6% of the gram negative bacterial isolates were identified as multiple drug resistants. Conclusion S. aureus and psuedomonas aeroginesa were the predominant causes of wound infections. norfloxacin Gentamicin and ceftraxone were the most effective drugs. Periodic surveillance of the species of bacteria involved in wound infection and determination of their antimicrobial resistance is recommended for empirical treatment.

description: We present a new open-source Python package for exact diagonalization and quantum dynamics of spin(-photon) chains, called QuSpin, supporting the use of various symmetries in 1-dimension and (imaginary) time evolution for chains up to 32 sites in length. The package is well-suited to study, among others, quantum quenches at finite and infinite times, the Eigenstate Thermalisation hypothesis, many-body localisation and other dynamical phase transitions, periodically-driven (Floquet) systems, adiabatic and counter-diabatic ramps, and spin-photon interactions. Moreover, QuSpin's user-friendly interface can easily be used in combination with other Python packages which makes it amenable to a high-level customisation. We explain how to use QuSpin using four detailed examples: (i) Standard exact diagonalisation of XXZ chain (ii) adiabatic ramping of parameters in the many-body localised XXZ model, (iii) heating in the periodically-driven transverse-field Ising model in a parallel field, and (iv) quantised light-atom interactions: recovering the periodically-driven atom in the semi-classical limit of a static Hamiltonian.

description: This paper studies the problem of receiver modeling in molecular communication systems. We consider the diffusive molecular communication channel between a transmitter nano-machine and a receiver nano-machine in a fluid environment. The information molecules released by the transmitter nano-machine into the environment can degrade in the channel via a first-order degradation reaction and those that reach the receiver nano-machine can participate in a reversible bimolecular reaction with receiver receptor proteins. Thereby, we distinguish between two scenarios. In the first scenario, we assume that the entire surface of the receiver is covered by receptor molecules. We derive a closed-form analytical expression for the expected received signal at the receiver, i.e., the expected number of activated receptors on the surface of the receiver. Then, in the second scenario, we consider the case where the number of receptor molecules is finite and the uniformly distributed receptor molecules cover the receiver surface only partially. We show that the expected received signal for this scenario can be accurately approximated by the expected received signal for the first scenario after appropriately modifying the forward reaction rate constant. The accuracy of the derived analytical results is verified by Brownian motion particle-based simulations of the considered environment, where we also show the impact of the effect of receptor occupancy on the derived analytical results.

description: This Document summarizes the dissemination actions put in place by the MaX CoE in the second 18 months of activity (from March 2017 to August 2018). MaX dissemination includes initiatives aimed at researchers and academia, as well as dedicated actions targeting industrial end-users. Scientific achievements have been published in internationally recognised, peer-reviewed scientific journals, typically of very high impact. The efforts towards researchers, graduate students and potential academic users has also taken broad advantage of typical Conference and Workshop channels. MaX members have given an impressive number of invited and contributed talks to conferences, workshops, and seminars, covering all range of subjects related to the CoE activity: from methodological developments, to improvement of HPC performances and technology exploitation, to cutting edge computational studies of scientific test cases. The above initiatives represent the bulk of the dissemination actions of MaX, together with a few broader-impact actions and an increased social media presence through web portal, newsletter, twitter. MaX strong training activities, described in deliverable D6.4 for the same period, also represented a valuable and impactful channel of dissemination. Dissemination actions specifically directed to industry --especially individual meetings and the industry-specific website-- are described in deliverable D5.4 on industrial outreach, which covers the time period M16-M36 (January 2017 – August 2018).
