description: In this paper, we use unique health record data that cover outpatient care and the associated costs to quantify the health care costs of a sizable increase in the retirement age in Germany. For the identification, we exploit a sizable cohort-specific pension reform which abolished an early retirement program for all women born after 1951. Our results show that health care costs significantly increase by about 2.9% in the age group directly affected by the increase in the retirement age (women aged 60–62). We further show that the cost increase is mainly driven by the following specialist groups: Ophthalmologists, general practitioners (GPs), neurology, orthopedics, and radiology. While the effects are significant and meaningful on the individual level, we show that the increase in health care costs is modest relative to the positive fiscal effects of the pension reform. Specifically, we estimate an aggregate increase in the health costs of about 7.7 million euro for women born in 1952 aged 60–62 which amounts to less than 2% of the overall positive fiscal effects of the pension reform.

description: We study the sharp interface limit of the two dimensional stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation driven by two types of singular noise: a space-time white noise and a space-time singular divergence-type noise. We show that with appropriate scaling of the noise the solutions of the stochastic problems converge to the solutions of the determinisitic Mullins-Sekerka/Hele-Shaw problem.

description: Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the preoperative minimal cephalic vein size in the forearm was predictive of successful wrist fistula maturation to a functional hemodialysis access. Methods: Forty-four consecutive patients underwent evaluation before surgery with ultrasound scan imaging to map the entire cephalic vein in preparation for the construction of an arteriovenous fistula at the wrist. Measurements of the vein diameter were obtained from the ultrasound scan images at eight representative sites. Patients were clinically followed to determine maturation of the fistula to provide a functional hemodialysis access. The smallest diameter of the cephalic vein then was used as a preoperative predictor of fistula maturation. Results: Successful maturation of the arteriovenous fistula was achieved in 22 of the procedures (50%). Cephalic veins with a minimal diameter of 2.0 mm or less were used for anastamosis in 19 patients (43%), and three of these procedures (16%) led to a functional access site. The remaining 25 patients (57%) had minimal cephalic vein diameters greater than 2.0 mm, producing a successful maturation in 19 of the fistula creations (76%). A significantly higher rate of successful fistula maturation in those patients with a preoperative minimal cephalic vein size greater than 2.0 mm was realized (P = .0002, χ2 test, with Yates correction for continuity). Conclusion: In patients with a minimal cephalic vein size of 2.0 mm or less, a procedure other than wrist fistula should be considered for optimization of dialysis access.

description: We study the low frequency wave propagation behavior of sandwich beams containing periodically embedded internal resonators. A closed form expression for the propagation constant is obtained using a phased array approach and verified using finite element simulations. We show that local resonance and Bragg bandgaps coexist in such a system and that the width of both bandgaps is a function of resonator parameters as well as their periodicity. The interaction between the two bandgaps is studied by varying the local resonance frequency. We find that a single combined bandgap does not exist for this system and that the Bragg bandgaps transition into sub-wavelength bandgaps when the local resonance frequency is above their associated classical Bragg frequency.

description: SBA/hydrotalcite/heteropolyacid nanocomposite is synthesized via a novel procedure in which the as-prepared heteropolyacid-loaded SBA-15 was impregnated with calcined hydrotalcite. The ternary hybrid system was characterized by using SEM/EDS, XRD, BET, TPD, TGA, FTIR and ICP-AES and also used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one derivatives via the reaction of arylaldehydes and 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one under reflux condition. Moreover, the catalytic activity of this catalyst was confirmed for the one-pot four-component reaction of aryl aldehydes, ethylacetoacetate, malononitrile and hydrazine hydrate/phenyl hydrazine in aqueous media for the synthesis of pyranopyroles. The investigation of the effect of the synthetic procedure and calcination of the hydrotalcite on the catalytic activity of the catalyst established that this factor does not exert a marked effect on the catalytic activity. The present procedures benefit from diverse advantages, including high yields, simplicity, mild reaction conditions and short reaction times. Moreover, this catalyst was reusable for up to five reaction runs and the HPA leaching was suppressed.

description: В статье исследуются современные теоретические аспекты применения дистанционного обучения в образовательном процессе. Дистанционное обучение должно быть интерактивным, то есть обучающиеся должны иметь возможность общаться как с преподавателем, так и между собой посредством не только электронной почты или различных мессенджеров, а напрямую, путем так называемых «виртуальных классов», в режиме реального времени. Сделан вывод о том, что дистанционное обучение – это современная самостоятельная форма обучения, реализуемая специфичными средствами Интернет-технологий или другими средствами, предусматривающими интерактивность. Дистанционное обучение имеет свои положительные и отрицательные психологические аспекты. В современных условиях 2020 года при дистанционном обучении важно соблюдать спокойствие и использовать рекомендации, направленные на повышение эффективности образовательного процесса.
description: The article explores the modern theoretical aspects of the use of distance learning in the educational process. Distance learning should be interactive, i.e. students should be able to communicate with both the teacher and each other through not only e-mail or various messengers, but directly, through so-called “virtual classes” in real time. It is concluded that distance learning is a modern independent form of learning, implemented by specific means of Internet technologies or other means of providing interactivity. Distance learning has its positive and negative psychological aspects. In modern conditions of 2020, with distance learning, it is important to remain calm and use recommendations aimed at improving the effectiveness of the educational process.

description: Education has been identified as a key component in sustainable development and sustainability transitions, as exemplified by the UN’s Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2004-2015), thus, it is important for universities to understand the current state of their sustainability education and outreach efforts. The purpose of this research is to present a case study of a small campus that is making active efforts towards advancing its sustainability profile. This research uses transdisciplinary sustainability as a theoretical framework, using a social science approach and a mixed research method. Through a series of 10 expert interviews with faculty and staff at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland, and a survey administered to the student body, this research unveils areas where Grenfell Campus has been successful at sustainability implementation and where it can improve, according to the Holistic Campus Sustainability Framework. This research reveals that while Grenfell Campus has increased its sustainability profile considerably in recent years in areas such as Operations and Engagement & Collaboration, there are still key areas in need of improvement, namely in the areas of Governance, Food Production & Services, Sustainability Communications, and Assessment & Reporting.

description: Kundenindividuelle Produkte werden in vielen Märkten immer stärker nachgefragt und stellen Unternehmen vor die Herausforderung, diese in möglichst vielen Varianten und dennoch effizient herstellen zu können. Ein möglicher Ansatz dazu ist die kollaborative Montage, die die besonderen Fähigkeiten von Mensch und Roboter kombiniert. Neben Fragen der Sicherheit und der physischen Gestaltung des Arbeitsplatzes kommt dem Informationsmanagement eine besondere Rolle zu, denn im Vergleich zur rein manuellen oder vollautomatisierten Montage gibt es mehr Beteiligte, mehr Schnittstellen und daher auch mehr kritische Informationsflüsse. Ein kollaborationsgerechtes Wissens- und Prozessmanagement muss die Integration aller beteiligten Systeme unterstützen, spezifische Fragen der Arbeitsteilung im Rahmen der Steuerung adressieren, aber auch die Planung und das Engineering neuer Varianten ermöglichen und durch Persistierung und Analyse von Prozessdaten zu einer stetigen Qualitätssteigerung beitragen. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Entwicklung und Validierung einer ent- sprechenden Methodik. Dazu wird das Konzept eines „Manufacturing In- tegration Bus“ eingeführt und mit speziellen Verfahren zur kollaborativen Arbeitssteuerung und einem durchgehenden Ansatz zur Verwertung der Prozessdaten kombiniert. An einem Minimal-Demonstrator, einem Demonstrator mit erweiterten Fä- higkeiten und einer industriellen Anlage wird die Methodik validiert.

description: Objective: Pararenal and type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) are not currently considered as indications for endovascular repair given unfavorable neck anatomy or aneurysm involvement of the visceral vessels. Open repair of these aneurysms is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly postoperative renal dysfunction. In selective high-risk patients, debranching of the visceral aorta to improve the proximal neck region can be used to facilitate endovascular exclusion of the aneurysm. Methods: Between October 2000 and July 2003, 10 patients were treated with open visceral revascularization and endovascular repair of pararenal and type IV TAAAs at a single institution. Patient demographics and procedural characteristics were obtained from medical records. Results: Overall 13 visceral bypasses were performed in 10 patients: 6 patients with a single iliorenal bypass, 3 with a hepatorenal bypass, and 1 patient with complete visceral revascularization. Juxtarenal aneurysms occurred in 5 patients (50%), suprarenal aneurysms in 3 patients (30%), and type IV TAAAs in 2 patients (20%). All patients had successful endovascular aneurysm exclusion. Mean follow-up was 8.7 months. There were no perioperative deaths, neurologic deficits coagulopathies, or renal dysfunction. Follow-up spiral computed tomography scans demonstrated patency of all bypass grafts with only one patient requiring a secondary intervention for late type I leak which was sealed with placement of a proximal cuff. Conclusion: These initial results suggest that are similar to infrarenal AAA endovascular repair. This combined approach to repair of pararenal and type IV TAAAs reduces the morbidity and mortality of open repair, and represents an attractive option in high-risk patients while endoluminal technology continues to evolve.

Publisher: name: Springer

description: The influence of flow parameters such as cavitation number and Reynolds number on the cavitating cloud behavior and aggressiveness is analysed in an experimental work. The focused geometry is a convergent-divergent nozzle with a given radius of curvature at the minimum cross section. By means of a high-speed camera the kinematics of cloud cavitation is visualized. The shape of the cloud is a horse shoe (U-shaped) with two legs ending at the material surface which is in agreement with the Helmholtz vortex theorem. Indeed it is worthwhile to look at the cavitation cloud as a ring vortex whose second half is a mirror vortex within the material. Due to the convection flow, the legs of the vortex are elongated and hence the rotational speed of the vortex core will increase. Thus cavitation bubbles will concentrate within the legs of the vortex and that behavior is observed in the cavitation experiments. The aggressiveness of the cloud is quantified by using soft metal inserts adapted on the nozzle geometry. The interpretation of the plastic deformation, called pits, is done with a 2-dimensional optical measurement system, which is developed to scan large and curved surfaces. In this way damage maps are obtained. Consequently dimensional analysis is used to analyse and generalize the experimental results. Thus a critical Reynolds number is found for the transition from sheet to cloud cavitation. Further an upper limit for the Strouhal number exists for the given geometry. A physical model for the critical Reynolds number is given elsewhere [1]. Also a model for the dynamics of the observed stretched cloud with circulation is published by Buttenbender and Pelz [2].

description: We present new proper motion and parallax measurements obtained with the European VLBI Network (EVN) at 5$\,$GHz for the three isolated pulsars B1929+10, B2020+28, and B2021+51. For B1929+10 we combined our data with earlier VLBI measurements and confirm the robustness of the astrometric parameters of this pulsar. For pulsars B2020+28 and B2021+51 our observations indicate that both stars are almost a factor of two closer to the solar system than previously thought, placing them at a distance of $1.39_{-0.06}^{+0.05}$ and $1.25_{-0.17}^{+0.14}\,$kpc. Using our new astrometry, we simulated the orbits of all three pulsars in the Galactic potential with the aim to confirm or reject previously proposed birth locations. Our observations ultimately rule out a claimed binary origin of B1929+10 and the runaway star $ζ$ Ophiuchi in Upper Scorpius. A putative common binary origin of B2020+28 and B2021+51 in the Cygnus Superbubble is also very unlikely.

description: Objective: To establish the effect of challenging neck anatomy on the mid- and long-term incidence of migration with the AneuRx bifurcated device in patients treated after Food and Drug Administration approval and to identify the predictive factors for device migration. Methods: Prospectively maintained databases at the University of North Carolina (UNC) and Washington University (WU) were used to identify 595 patients (UNC, n = 230; WU, n = 365) who underwent endovascular repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with the AneuRx bifurcated stent graft. Those patients with at least 30 months of follow-up were identified and underwent further assessment of migration (UNC, n = 25; WU, n = 59) by use of multiplanar reconstructed computed tomographic scans. Results: Eighty-four patients with a mean follow-up time of 40.3 months (range, 30-55 months) were studied. Seventy percent of the patients (n = 59) met all inclusion criteria for neck anatomy (length, angle, diameter, and quality) as defined by the revised instructions for use guidelines and are referred to as those with favorable neck anatomy (FNA). The remaining 25 patients retrospectively fell outside of the revised instructions for use guidelines and are referred to as those with unfavorable neck anatomy (UFNA). Life-table analysis for FNA patients at 2 and 4 years revealed a migration rate of 0% and 6.1%, respectively. For UFNA patients, it was 24.0% and 42.1% at 2 and 4 years, respectively (P < .0001). The overall (FNA and UFNA) migration rate was 7.1% and 17.1% at 2 and 4 years, respectively. Overall, late graft-related complications occurred in 38% of patients (FNA, 27%; UFNA, 64%; P = .003; relative risk, 1.7). There was no incidence of late rupture or open conversion. The relative risk of migration for UFNA patients was 2.5 compared with FNA patients (P = .0003). A larger neck angle and a longer initial graft to renal artery distance were predictors of migration, whereas shorter neck length approached but did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: Patients who have unfavorable aneurysm neck anatomy experience significantly higher migration, devicerelated complication, and secondary intervention rates. However, there was no incidence of open conversion, rupture, or abdominal aortic aneurysm–related death, thereby supporting the AneuRx device as a feasible alternative to open repair even in patients with challenging neck characteristics. Enhanced surveillance should be used in these high-risk patients. ( J Vasc Surg 2006;44:932-7.)

The secondary decay $K^{*+}\to Kπ$ can be used to study a number of angular observables, which are worked out in terms of short-distance Wilson coefficients and hadronic form factors. Our analysis allows for an independent extraction of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{ub}|$ and for the determination of certain ratios of $\bar{B}_s\to K^*$ form factors. Moreover, a future precision measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry in the $\bar{B}_s \to K^{*+} \ell^-\barν_\ell$ decay can be used to unambiguously verify the left-handed nature of the transition operator as predicted by the SM. We provide numerical estimates for the relevant angular observables and the resulting decay distributions on the basis of available form-factor information from lattice and sum-rule estimates. In addition, we pay particular attention to suitable combinations of angular observables in the decays $\bar{B}_s \to K^{*+}(\to Kπ)\ell^-\barν_\ell$ and $\bar{B} \to K^{*0}(\to Kπ)\ell^+\ell^-$, and find that they provide complementary constraints on the relevant $b\to s$ short-distance coefficients. As a by-product, we perform a SM fit on the basis of selected experimental decay rates and hadronic input functions, which results in $|V_{ub}| = (4.07 \pm 0.20) \cdot 10^{-3}$.

Emergent stent-graft treatment for rupture

description: It is not too surprising, given the lower prevalence of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) as compared with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), that development of endovascular devices for thoracic disease has lagged behind progress in the infrarenal area. Recently, published reports of decreased mortality associated with endovascular device implantation for ruptured AAAs have highlighted its potential advantage in emergent situations. The first reported use of an endovascular stent graft to treat a ruptured TAA was reported by Semba et al in 1997. Although the use of endovascular therapy to treat ruptured AAAs is gaining wider acceptance, its use in thoracic pathologies has been slow to develop in the United States, even though 20% of TAAs and nearly 50% of thoracic dissections present with rupture in the EUROSTAR registry. This may be a factor of relatively limited dissemination of technology. Examination of clinical trial enrollment shows that 10 sites in the United States account for approximately 50% of the cumulative implantations.

description: A dilaton potential is adjusted to recently confirmed lattice QCD thermodynamics data in the temperature range $(0.7 \ldots 3.5) T_c$ where $T_c = 155 \text{MeV}$ is the pseudo-critical temperature. The employed holographic model is based on a gravity--single-field dilaton dual. We discuss conditions for enforcing (for the pure gluon plasma) or avoiding (for the QCD quark-gluon plasma) a first-order phase transition, but still keeping a softest point (minimum of sound velocity).

It underscores the profound influence of socio-economic, cultural, and environmental determinants on health outcomes. Drawing from authoritative sources, the paper illuminates the subtle yet significant roles played by social determinants in scripting wellness narratives. It further dissects the intricate choreography of health systems, highlighting their dynamic interplay with societal health stories. The article positions critical social work as an indispensable advocate for health equity, bridging gaps between individuals, communities, and health systems. Through a series of case studies, it elucidates the interrelationship between social determinants and health systems, revealing their mutual impacts. The narrative culminates in a forward-looking discussion, envisioning a future health landscape characterized by inclusivity, equity, and justice, urging social work to play a pivotal role in reshaping health narratives.
The floppy disks in the garage: physical preservation conditions and digital media

description: This talk illustrates a case study of working with removable digital media previously stored in far-from-ideal conditions, in a small archives with minimal resources. The process included physical cleaning of disks, and resulted in over 90% of data being recovered and preserved. The preservation of born-digital materials begins well before they reach any archival institution.
Stochastic thermodynamics for kinetic equations

description: Stochastic thermodynamics is formulated for variables that are odd under time reversal. The invariance under spatial rotation of the collision rates due to the isotropy of the heat bath is shown to be a crucial ingredient. An alternative detailed fluctuation theorem is derived, expressed solely in terms of forward statistics. It is illustrated for a linear kinetic equation with kangaroo rates.

description: Reputation is generally defined as the opinion of a group on an aspect of a thing. This paper presents a reputation model that follows a probabilistic modelling of opinions based on three main concepts: (1) the value of an opinion decays with time, (2) the reputation of the opinion source impacts the reliability of the opinion, and (3) the certainty of the opinion impacts its weight with respect to other opinions. Furthermore, the model is flexible with its opinion sources: it may use explicit opinions or implicit opinions that can be extracted from agent behavior in domains where explicit opinions are sparse. We illustrate the latter with an approach to extract opinions from behavioral information in the sports domain, focusing on football in particular. One of the uses of a reputation model is predicting behavior. We take up the challenge of predicting the behavior of football teams in football matches, which we argue is a very interesting yet difficult approach for evaluating the model.

description: Endografts are more commonly being used to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms and other vascular lesions. Endoleaks are a potential complication of this treatment modality and can be associated with aneurysmal sac expansion and rupture. This case report presents a patient who developed a type IA endoleak after endograft repair of a descending thoracic aneurysm. The endoleak was successfully treated through computed tomographic-guided transthoracic embolization, although the patient experienced lower extremity paraparesis postprocedurally. The patient's endovascular repair was complicated by the development of an aortoesophageal fistula and endograft infection necessitating operative debridement and endograft explantation.
La cultura come motore produttivo In risposta a 11 domande su Olivetti

Publisher: name: La Rivista di Engramma

Subjects: Olivetti
Holistic
Religiosity
Industrial humanism
Jewish tradition
Cosmopolitanism
Territory

description: Luca Zevi places emphasis on some underappreciated aspects of Olivetti’s thought, beginning with his capacity for a holistic approach to the world that allowed him to evade ideological and party distinctions, and a profound religiosity that new how to unite the Catholic notion of an industrial humanism with the Jewish tradition of a link between individualism and community, specificity of places, and cosmopolitanism. From all this also comes the centrality of the territorial dimension with respect to the urban one, and the overcoming of the polarization between congested metropolitan areas and depopulated inland areas. Finally, the awareness that architecture and urban planning are the means to realize the City of Man. In this, Zevi captures Olivetti’s timeliness: the ability to combine solidarity, production, and the environment.

description: Accurate representation of the molecular electrostatic potential, which is often expanded in distributed multipole moments, is crucial for an efficient evaluation of intermolecular interactions. Here we introduce a machine learning model for multipole coefficients of atom types H, C, O, N, S, F, and Cl in any molecular conformation. The model is trained on quantum chemical results for atoms in varying chemical environments drawn from thousands of organic molecules. Multipoles in systems with neutral, cationic, and anionic molecular charge states are treated with individual models. The models' predictive accuracy and applicability are illustrated by evaluating intermolecular interaction energies of nearly 1,000 dimers and the cohesive energy of the benzene crystal.

description: The fluctuations in wind power entering an electrical grid (Irish grid) were analyzed and found to exhibit correlated fluctuations with a self-similar structure, a signature of large-scale correlations in atmospheric turbulence. The statistical structure of temporal correlations for fluctuations in generated and forecast time series was used to quantify two types of forecast error: a timescale error ($e_τ$) that quantifies the deviations between the high frequency components of the forecast and the generated time series, and a scaling error ($e_ζ$) that quantifies the degree to which the models fail to predict temporal correlations in the fluctuations of the generated power. With no $a$ $priori$ knowledge of the forecast models, we suggest a simple memory kernel that reduces both the timescale error ($e_τ$) and the scaling error ($e_ζ$).
