description: Nonmalignant respiratory disease (NMRD) mortality was examined among woodworkers participating in the American Cancer Society’s CPS-II cohort study. During the 6-year prospective follow-up, there were 97 NMRD deaths among 11,541 men reporting employment in wood-related occupations and 1,338 NMRD deaths among 317,424 men reporting no exposure to wood dust or wood-related jobs. Relative risks, adjusted for age and smoking, were calculated using Poisson regression. A small excess of NMRD was observed among woodworkers. However, the relative risk was higher among woodworkers who did not report exposure to wood dust (RR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.18–1.97) than those who did (RR = 1.27, 95% CI = 0.91–1.77), and no clear trend with duration of exposure was observed. An excess of NMRD was observed among woodworkers reporting exposure to asbestos (RR = 1.59, 95% CI = 0.85–2.96), as well as the small number of woodworkers reporting exposure to formaldehyde (RR = 1.95, 95% CI = 0.63–6.06), but men not reporting exposure to these substances also had an excess risk. Although limited by a short follow-up period and crude indicators of exposure, the strengths of this analysis were the ability to compare woodworkers to a similar, healthy population and to adjust for the effects of smoking. Cohort studies with better exposure information are needed to examine the role of occupational exposures among woodworkers in the etiology of respiratory disease.
Magnetar powered GRBs: Explaining the extended emission and X-ray plateau of short GRB light curves

description: Extended emission (EE) is a high-energy, early time rebrightening sometimes seen in the light curves of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We present the first contiguous fits to the EE tail and the later X-ray plateau, unified within a single model. Our central engine is a magnetar surrounded by a fall-back accretion disc, formed by either the merger of two compact objects or the accretion-induced collapse of a white dwarf. During the EE phase, material is accelerated to super-Keplarian velocities and ejected from the system by the rapidly rotating ($P \approx 1 - 10$ ms) and very strong ($10^{15}$ G) magnetic field in a process known as magnetic propellering. The X-ray plateau is modelled as magnetic dipole spin-down emission. We first explore the range of GRB phenomena that the propeller could potentially reproduce, using a series of template light curves to devise a classification scheme based on phenomology. We then obtain fits to the light curves of 9 GRBs with EE, simultaneously fitting both the propeller and the magnetic dipole spin-down and finding typical disc masses of a few $10^{-3}$ $M_{\odot}$ to a few $10^{-2}$ $M_{\odot}$. This is done for ballistic, viscous disc and exponential accretion rates. We find that the conversion efficiency from kinetic energy to EM emission for propellered material needs to be $\gtrsim 10\%$ and that the best fitting results come from an exponential accretion profile.

O devir-animal em Luiza Neto Jorge e Paula Rego: mulher cabra, mulher-cão e outras metamorfoses

Publisher: name: POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP
Year: 2017

description: As obras de Luiza Neto Jorge e Paula Rego são um bom exemplo de diálogo polifónico entre as várias artes. Sendo contemporâneas, as suas obras, de matriz surrealista, revelam um desejo claro de desconstruir e subverter o conceito tradicional de arte recriando-a. Ambas recorrem obsessivamente a uma identificação com diferentes animais traduzida em metamorfoses completas ou parciais da figura feminina. A atitude da mulher jorgiana, representada, sobretudo, pela mulher-cabra, é sempre a de uma mulher erótica, ativa, agressiva e desafiadora enquanto a animalidade em Paula Rego, protagonizada principalmente pela Mulher-Cão, apresenta a mulher submissa, humilhada, mas revoltada com a sua situação. Se a Neto Jorge se pode aplicar o «devir-animal» deleuziano total, em Paula Rego ele surge «internalizado» projetando-se em figuras grotescas e monstruosas, onde a metamorfose se revela externa. No entanto, nem por isso as mulheres pintadas por Rego são menos insurrectas do que as da escritora.

description: In the era of big data, materials science workflows need to handle large-scale data distribution, storage, and computation. Any thereof can become a performance bottleneck. To mitigate these bottlenecks, we present a software framework for complex analyses of internal material structures (e.g., cracks). We study the benefits of our framework for a workflow performing synchrotron X-ray computed tomography reconstruction and segmentation of Silica. This workflow comprises five stages: downloading images from X-ray tomography scans (6.0 GB per image); performing image segmentation to remove noises; performing image reconstruction to obtain a clear vision of the material structure; converting the data into OpenVisus formats; and using the OpenVisus streaming services for user analysis. During the first deployment of our framework, we learned that intermediary and outcome data can be at least 30 times larger than the inputs; and the computation during images' reconstruction and segmentation can be heavily resource-demanding. We also observed a set of challenges when dealing with data storage and management as well as scaling up computation resources. Our framework aims to offer an out-of-box solution to the aforementioned challenges through a multi-layer software structure comprising three layers. A low layer provides resource management and job scheduling on heterogeneous nodes (i.e., GPU and CPU nodes). At the core of this layer, Kubernetes provides resource management and Dask enables large-scale job scheduling for heterogeneous resources. A middle layer uses Ansible to manage the execution environment. A higher layer serves as the Jupyter interface. The contributions of our work are four-fold: through our framework, we hide the complexity of the software stack to the user who otherwise is required to have expertise in HPC/cloud; we manage job scheduling efficiently; we enable resource elasticity and workflow orchestration at a large scale; and we enable moving HPC applications to Cloud. Preliminary results show that reconstruction running on 4 GPU nodes exhibit improved performance by 72%.

description: With the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD), the European Union (EU) is involved in the field of last resort social protection, mainly by subsidising food aid. This working paper examines (a) to what extent FEAD funds are geared towards poor Member States with greater social needs, (b) how important food aid in general, and FEAD in particular, is to supplement insufficient minimum income protection for the poor, (c) to what extent food aid is embedded in and supported by (welfare) state institutions, (d) how important FEAD accompanying measures are to strengthen individual power resources. The paper builds on primary and secondary data and includes case study research covering eight European countries and four European cities. Our results show that FEAD organises an – albeit very limited – form of pan-European solidarity. Although FEAD budgets are very small, in some poorer countries they are not trivial compared to national unemployment and social exclusion spending. However, FEAD’s share in food aid packages is small. Moreover, compared to the efforts needed in order to lift minimum incomes to the EU-wide poverty threshold, the funds are relatively smaller in poor countries than in the richer ones. Our findings also suggest that on the one hand, FEAD could strengthen power resources of European citizens through its accompanying measures, but on the other hand, it seems to support the increasing penetration of food aid into welfare state institutions. Nonetheless, FEAD might be used as a stop-gap measure in a political strategy aimed at the implementation of the right to adequate minimum income protection.

description: This survey presents in some detail the main advances that have been recently taking place in Computational Linguistics towards the unification of the two prominent semantic paradigms: the compositional formal semantics view and the distributional models of meaning based on vector spaces. After an introduction to these two approaches, I review the most important models that aim to provide compositionality in distributional semantics. Then I proceed and present in more detail a particular framework by Coecke, Sadrzadeh and Clark (2010) based on the abstract mathematical setting of category theory, as a more complete example capable to demonstrate the diversity of techniques and scientific disciplines that this kind of research can draw from. This paper concludes with a discussion about important open issues that need to be addressed by the researchers in the future.

description: O estudo do Riso Enlatado, enquanto elemento semiótico relevante presente em muitas Sitcoms, tem sido negligenciado, embora represente um nível de constrangimento suplementar para o tradutor audiovisual. Usado como um indicador claro de comicidade, como uma pista explícita da presença do humor, a inserção desta faixa de risos pré-gravada gera opiniões discordantes e controversas junto de académicos e investigadores em Tradução Audiovisual, em Televisão e em Psicologia. Este artigo dá conta das diversas abordagens que o Riso Enlatado tem suscitado e pretende-se assim dar conta da sua relevância enquanto elemento condicionador da tradução do humor.

description: Molti sistemi cognitivi, tra cui anche alcuni agenti artificiali, devono rappresentare lo spazio e gli oggetti spaziali per muoversi e agire in modo soddisfacente (per evitare un ostacolo, cogliere un frutto, decidere un punto dove atterrare). Nel caso degli esseri umani, la rappresentazione dello spazio ha anche un aspetto linguistico: sappiamo descrivere le relazioni spaziali o comprendere il significato di una preposizione come ‘tra’ immaginando una situazione spaziale cui essa si applichi. La rappresentazione dello spazio è pertanto un soggetto di studio che occupa una posizione centrale nelle scienze cognitive. In questo articolo intendiamo proporne una ricognizione metodologica
A praxis do terminólogo. À procura de um espaço conceptual intersubjectivo

description: Nesta reflexão, perspectiva-se que o trabalho do terminólogo implica, a par da análise de corpora textuais e de procedimentos de acção-reflexão introspectivos e autónomos, o desenvolvimento de estratégias de elicitação do conhecimento tácito, através da interacção e da negociação discursivas com o especialista do domínio em estudo. Defende-se, por isso, que as estratégias de interacção entre terminólogo e especialista de domínio merecem atenção detalhada, pelo facto de se reflectirem com expressividade na qualidade dos resultados obtidos. Como consequência, defende-se a produtividade de uma relação diádica que transcende a mera mediação, competindo ao terminólogo afirmar-se como sujeito conceptualizador, decisor e interventor em todas as fases de um processo de representação do conhecimento através da língua.

description: The foundations of Statistical Mechanics can be recovered almost in their entirety from the Principle of Maximum Entropy. In this work we show that its non-equilibrium generalization, the Principle of Maximum Caliber (Jaynes, 1980), when applied to the unknown trajectory followed by a particle, leads to Newton's second law under two quite intuitive assumptions (the expected square displacement in one step and the spatial probability distribution of the particle are known at all times). Our derivation explicitly highlights the role of mass as an emergent measure of the fluctuations in velocity (inertia) and the origin of potential energy as a manifestation of spatial correlations. According to our findings, the application of Newton's equations is not limited to mechanical systems, and therefore could be used in modelling ecological, financial and biological systems, among others.
A construção das personagens em the zoo story: uma abordagem sistêmico-funcional

Year: 2017

description: Este trabalho busca mostrar como se dá a interação das personagens Peter e Jerry na peça The Zoo Story, de Edward Albee, tomando como aporte teórico a linguística sistêmico-funcional. Foram analisadas e quantificadas as trocas de informação e de bens e serviços e do recurso à modalidade nas falas das personagens, bem como dos tipos de processo associados a cada uma nas rubricas do texto, de modo a observar como se deu a construção dessas personagens e a dinâmica de sua interação ao longo da peça. A contabilização das funções atribuídas ao Finito mostrou que as personagens deram primazia a localizar aquilo que expressavam no tempo e no espaço; no entanto, os casos de modalidade e de modalização e modulação elucidaram um forte contraste na personalidade de ambas, reflexo de suas diferentes condições socioeconômicas. Finalmente, as manifestações das personagens no plano físico, através da quantificação dos tipos de processos associados a elas, serviram para mostrar as atitudes de cada uma com relação a sua contraparte, atitudes essas nem sempre manifestadas verbalmente, daí a utilidade de observar os processos que guiam as rubricas do texto. Este trabalho busca elucidar algumas propriedades das metafunções experiencial e interpessoal da LSF e mostrar como ela pode ser aplicada à análise do texto literário, revelando aspectos não somente formais do texto, mas também a maneira como as personagens são construídas em relação umas às outras.

As motivações para a emergência de fenómenos de crowd translation

Year: 2017

description: Este artigo pretende refletir sobre um processo de socialização que a tradução está a viver e que se pode caracterizar por um grande número de indivíduos, completamente diferentes, voluntários e possivelmente sem competências formais em Línguas, que se encontram a realizar atividades de tradução. Estes indivíduos estão, assim, a ter um papel preponderante na atividade de tradução, nomeadamente para ambientes web, permitindo a emergência de um novo modelo de tradução em massa denominado por crowd translation. Este modelo de tradução surge num contexto em que os fenómenos de massas estão a ter impacto em diversas áreas da sociedade, influenciando também a tradução. Desta forma, e para melhor entender a crowd translation, este artigo irá abordar os efeitos do coletivismo que podem ser observados, por exemplo, nas comunidades de prática virtuais e crowdsourcing, tendo também em linha de conta que a sabedoria das multidões influencia, de forma surpreendente, o desenvolvimento desses fenómenos. Assim, serão discutidas as motivações que levam à proliferação da crowd translation essencialmente nas redes sociais, uma vez que estas são um dos principais potenciadores deste modelo, permitindo que indivíduos sem competências linguísticas realizem atividades neste âmbito.

description: As star clusters are expected to form with low star formation efficiencies, the gas in the cluster is expelled quickly and early in their development: the star cluster "pops." This leads to an unbound stellar system, evolving in the Galactic potential. Previous N-body simulations have demonstrated the existence of a stepped number density distribution of cluster stars after popping, both in vertical position and vertical velocity, with a passing resemblance to a Christmas tree. Using numerical and analytical methods, we investigate the source of this structure, which arises due to the phase mixing of the out-of-equilibrium stellar system, determined entirely by the background analytic potential. Considering only the vertical motions, we construct a theoretical model to describe the time evolution of the phase space distribution of stars in a Miyamoto-Nagai disk potential and a full Milky-Way type potential comprising bulge, halo and disk components, which is then compared with N-body simulations. Using our theoretical model, we investigate the possible observational signatures and the feasibility of detection.

description: O aparecimento do Surrealismo em Portugal é tardio ainda que este país tenha sido possivelmente o primeiro a ter tido conhecimento daquele movimento em 1924, logo após a publicação do primeiro manifesto de Breton. Gomes Leal, Teixeira de Pascoaes ou a geração do Orpheu já possuem nas suas obras algumas características surrealistas, embora o Surrealismo em Portugal só venha a impor-se em 1947. Tal como em França, também em Portugal o desenvolvimento do Surrealismo sofreu algumas vicissitudes e Jorge de Sena considera que António Maria Lisboa terá sido talvez o que mais completamente abraçou este movimento.

description: Context. A relative paucity of data exist on the possible health effects of using cellular telephones. Objective. To test the hypothesis that using handheld cellular telephones is related to the risk of primary brain cancer. Design and Setting. Case-control study conducted in 5 US academic medical centers between 1994 and 1998 using a structured questionnaire. Patients. A total of 469 men and women aged 18 to 80 years with primary brain cancer and 422 matched controls without brain cancer. Main Outcome Measure. Risk of brain cancer compared by use of handheld cellular telephones, in hours per month and years of use. Results. The median monthly hours of use were 2.5 for cases and 2.2 for controls. Compared with patients who never used handheld cellular telephones, the multivariate odds ratio (OR) associated with regular past or current use was 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6-1.2). The OR for infrequent users (< 0.72 h/mo) was 1.0 (95% CI, 0.5-2.0) and for frequent users (>10.1 h/mo) was 0.7 (95% CI, 0.3-1.4). The mean duration of use was 2.8 years for cases and 2.7 years for controls; no association with brain cancer was observed according to duration of use (P=.54). In cases, cerebral tumors occurred more frequently on the same side of the head where cellular telephones had been used (26 vs 15 cases; P=.06), but in the cases with temporal lobe cancer a greater proportion of tumors occurred in the contralateral than ipsilateral side (9 vs 5 cases; P=.33). The OR was less than 1.0 for all histologic categories of brain cancer except for uncommon neuroepitheliomatous cancers (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 0.9-4.7). Conclusions. Our data suggest that use of handheld cellular telephones is not associated with risk of brain cancer, but further studies are needed to account for longer induction periods, especially for slow-growing tumors with

description: Background: Patient treatment satisfaction is likely to be a highly relevant outcome measure in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition for which the benefits of treatment must be weighed against frequent, undesirable side effects, inconvenience, and complications associated with therapy. In this study, we sought to evaluate the psychometric properties of a patient-reported treatment satisfaction measure and its relationship to quality of life (QoL) among patients transitioning from inhaled iloprost (iILO) to inhaled treprostinil (iTRE). Methods: We studied treatment satisfaction among 66 subjects with PAH in a single-arm, open-label, multi-center trial of iTRE following transition from iILO. Treatment satisfaction was assessed using the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM, version 1.4) administered to subjects immediately before and 12 weeks after transition of inhaled therapy. The TSQM is comprised of 4 domains: effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and global satisfaction. Scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. Six-minute walk distance (6MWD), functional class, adverse events, drug administration time, and PAH-specific QoL (CAMPHOR) were concurrently assessed. Results: Domains of the TSQM demonstrated evidence of strong internal consistency at baseline and at 12 weeks (Cronbach α = 0.88-0.93). Transition from iILO to iTRE was associated with an improvement in 3 of 4 TSQM domains: effectiveness (+20 ± 21, p

description: O avanço na direcção de uma cultura de gestão da informação verdadeiramente multilingue, resultado do estabelecimento de espaços multilingues de acesso à informação, caracterizados pela heterogeneidade e multiculturalidade, como é o caso dos sistemas de classificação de organizações globais, aumenta a necessidade de existência de metodologias e sistemas de organização da informação e do conhecimento que facilitem e tornem mais eficiente o uso destes recursos. Neste ambiente, a língua, meio por excelência da comunicação humana, e a terminologia, enquanto elemento nuclear à recolha, estruturação e disseminação do conhecimento, representam um papel de mediação cada vez mais importante na comunicação entre os vários interlocutores e na comunicação homem- máquina e um elemento essencial à descoberta e criação do conhecimento, bem como à sua eficiente conceptualização, representação, transmissão e reutilização. Pretendemos, neste contexto, por um lado, analisar o papel da terminologia e das metodologias e recursos de base terminológica na resposta aos desafios que resultam dos processos de gestão e partilha do conhecimento que se desenrolam em ambientes multilingues, e, por outro, discutir os possíveis contributos destas metodologias para o processo de conceptualização e representação multilingue do conhecimento de um domínio.

description: Purpose of the research The contribution aims at modelling Airspace Users' (AU) behaviour when facing a choice between different trajectory products (bundles of trajectories that differ in time and space) offered by a network manager. This represents a paradigm shift vs. the current ATM concept of operations. Methodology We use a stated-preference survey to model AUs' behaviour. The survey encapsulates different scenarios, defining the airport-pair connected by a given flight, time of day, criticality of passenger connections, and the possibility of crew duty problems. For different trajectory product discount regimes, the AUs choose one out of several trajectory products. Research findings The survey is distributed to numerous AUs, aiming at capturing their feedback and classifying them according to their business models. With this information, we will gain a better understanding of the decision-making process when introducing a novel concept of trajectory products. Number of responses allowing, a multinomial logit choice-model will be derived and properly calibrated. Contribution The modelling of the AU behaviour under a novel ATM concept of operations is original work as how they would react in this new environment is absolutely unknown. Hence, the contributions of this paper are two-fold: Design a survey in order to capture the AUs potential decisions considering all expected decision criteria and considering that the AUs are not familiar with the new concept of operations Calibrate a mathematical multinomial logit choice-model based on the feedback received.

description: Graph drawing addresses the problem of finding a layout of a graph that satisfies given aesthetic and understandability objectives. The most important objective in graph drawing is minimization of the number of crossings in the drawing, as the aesthetics and readability of graph drawings depend on the number of edge crossings. VLSI layouts with fewer crossings are more easily realizable and consequently cheaper. A straight-line drawing of a planar graph G of n vertices is a drawing of G such that each edge is drawn as a straight-line segment without edge crossings. However, a problem with current graph layout methods which are capable of producing satisfactory results for a wide range of graphs is that they often put an extremely high demand on computational resources. This paper introduces a new layout method, which nicely draws internally convex of planar graph that consumes only little computational resources and does not need any heavy duty preprocessing. Here, we use two methods: The first is self organizing map known from unsupervised neural networks which is known as (SOM) and the second method is Inverse Self Organized Map (ISOM).

description: Background: Weak health information systems (HIS) are a critical challenge to reaching the health-related Millennium Development Goals because health systems performance cannot be adequately assessed or monitored where HIS data are incomplete, inaccurate, or untimely. The Population Health Implementation and Training (PHIT) Partnerships were established in five sub-Saharan African countries (Ghana, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia) to catalyze advances in strengthening district health systems. Interventions were tailored to the setting in which activities were planned. Comparisons across strategies: All five PHIT Partnerships share a common feature in their goal of enhancing HIS and linking data with improved decision-making, specific strategies varied. Mozambique, Ghana, and Tanzania all focus on improving the quality and use of the existing Ministry of Health HIS, while the Zambia and Rwanda partnerships have introduced new information and communication technology systems or tools. All partnerships have adopted a flexible, iterative approach in designing and refining the development of new tools and approaches for HIS enhancement (such as routine data quality audits and automated troubleshooting), as well as improving decision making through timely feedback on health system performance (such as through summary data dashboards or routine data review meetings). The most striking differences between partnership approaches can be found in the level of emphasis of data collection (patient versus health facility), and consequently the level of decision making enhancement (community, facility, district, or provincial leadership). Discussion: Design differences across PHIT Partnerships reflect differing theories of change, particularly regarding what information is needed, who will use the information to affect change, and how this change is expected to manifest. The iterative process of data use to monitor and assess the health system has been heavily communication dependent, with challenges due to poor feedback loops. Implementation to date has highlighted the importance of engaging frontline staff and managers in improving data collection and its use for informing system improvement. Through rigorous process and impact evaluation, the experience of the PHIT teams hope to contribute to the evidence base in the areas of HIS strengthening, linking HIS with decision making, and its impact on measures of health system outputs and impact.
DOMESTICATED DOMESTICATED! SOME COMMENTS ON THE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH OF JOSÉ CARLOS SOMOZA’S LA CAVERNA DE LAS IDEAS

description: In order to cater for an extended readership, crime fiction, like most popular genres, is based on the repetition of a formula allowing for the reader’s immediate identification. This first domestication is followed, at the time of its translation, by a second process, which wipes out those characteristics of the source text that may come into conflict with the dominant values of the target culture. An analysis of the textual and paratextual strategies used in the English translation of José Carlos Somoza’s La caverna de las ideas (2000) shows the efforts to make the novel more easily marketable in the English- speaking world through the elimination of most of the obstacles to easy readability.

description: We describe the implementation of the frozen-orbital and downfolding approximations in the auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method. These approaches can provide significant computational savings compared to fully correlating all the electrons. While the many-body wave function is never explicit in AFQMC, its random walkers are Slater determinants, whose orbitals may be expressed in terms of any one-particle orbital basis. It is therefore straightforward to partition the full N-particle Hilbert space into active and inactive parts to implement the frozen-orbital method. In the frozen-core approximation, for example, the core electrons can be eliminated in the correlated part of the calculations, greatly increasing the computational efficiency, especially for heavy atoms. Scalar relativistic effects are easily included using the Douglas-Kroll-Hess theory. Using this method, we obtain a way to effectively eliminate the error due to single-projector, norm-conserving pseudopotentials in AFQMC. We also illustrate a generalization of the frozen-orbital approach that downfolds high-energy basis states to a physically relevant low-energy sector, which allows a systematic approach to produce realistic model Hamiltonians to further increase efficiency for extended systems.

PREDICATED THEMES IN A LITERARY CORPUS: THEIR USE AS TEXTUAL RESOURCE IN ALAN PATON’S CRY, THE BELOVED COUNTRY (1948)
Creators: name: Lirola, María
Publisher: name: POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP
Year: 2013

description: This article will show how the frequency of a grammatical structure such as the predicated theme in the novel Cry, the Beloved Country (1948) written by the South African writer Alan Paton is crucial for the meaning of the novel. The usefulness of this marked construction for textual cohesion and contrastiveness will be explored. Special attention will be paid to the discourse functions of the examples in order to observe the consequences of this grammatical choice in the novel: to highlight, contrast, emphasize feelings, etc. The use of predicated themes in this novel allows Paton not only to make the text a more coherent unit – a text – but also allows him to draw the text closer to the context of the situation of the reader, drawing the reader ‘into’ a ‘dialogue’ with the issues of the culture of the time, into the ‘cultural dialogue’ of Apartheid South Africa – the dialogue of the black and the white South Africans.

description: Introduction: In sub-Saharan Africa, bloodborne pathogens exposure (BPE) is a serious risk to health care workers (HCW). Reporting BPE is necessary for effective post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), an important element of workplace safety in health facilities. Limited data are available on factors associated with BPE reporting among HCW. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study assessing experiences of occupational BPE, history of BPE reporting, and use of PEP among health care workers at three public hospitals in Tanzania. From August to November 2012, HCW were interviewed using Audio-Computer Assisted Self-Interview. All HCW at risk for BPE were invited to participate. Factors associated with reporting BPE were identified using logistic regression. Results: Of the 1,102 eligible HCW, 973 (88%) completed the interview. Of these, 690 (71%) were female and 387 (40%) were nurses. Of 357 HCW who had a BPE in the past 6 months, 120 (34%) reported it. Among these 120 reported exposures, 93 (78%) HCW reported within 2 hours of exposure, 98 (82%) received pre- and post-HIV test counseling, and 70 (58%) were offered PEP; 68 (97%) of these 70 HCWs completed PEP. Independent risk factors associated with reporting BPE were being female (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.0 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-3.5), having ever-received BPE training (AOR=2.0, CI 1.2-3.5), knowledge that HCW receive PEP at another facility (AOR=2.6, CI 1.5-4.4) and HIV testing within the past year (AOR=2.3, CI 1.2-4.4). Conclusion: Despite the significant proportion of HCW with a recent BPE, only one in three reported it. Our results highlight the importance of appropriate and continuous training on the prevention and reporting of occupational exposures to increase acceptance of HIV testing after BPE. Disclosure of interest: None declared.
Structural distortion in Ludwigites

description: Structural distortion in a three-leg-ladder is studied in connection with Ludwigites, in particular the Fe and Co homometallic ones. Static impurities in t_{2g}-orbitals as infinite repulsion potentials randomly located in the three-leg-ladder and a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger like tight-binding Hamiltonian are proposed and discussed. It is found that such potentials block itinerant electrons and diminish a structural staggered order parameter, related with structural distortion, as 3^{-M} being M the number of impurities. This diminution is in detriment of Peierls like distortion that occurs in these ladders as in the case of Fe-Ludwigite. On the other hand, this diminution could explain the lack of structural distortion as in the case of Co-Ludwigite.
