description: Esophageal cancer (EC) makes up 3.2% of all cancers but ranks sixth among cancer-related deaths worldwide. This real-world analysis determined the use of PD-1/PD-L1 (PD[L]1) inhibitors in EC patients after receiving first-line therapy. Newly diagnosed EC patients initiating first-line treatment were identified in the IBM MarketScan® administrative claims databases during the study period (5/1/2015-10/31/2020) using ICD-9/ICD-10 codes. Patients were assigned to either the chemotherapy only, radiation only, chemotherapy plus radiation (chemoradiation), or esophageal transhiatal/transthoracic surgery cohorts. 7,276 EC patients started first-line therapy (chemotherapy only =2,502, radiation only =3,355, chemoradiation =1,180, surgery =239). The average age at diagnosis was 62 years and 23% were female. The median time from start of first-line therapy to utilization of a PD(L)1 inhibitor was 259 days. Pembrolizumab (72%) was the most frequently used PD(L)1 inhibitor across the three cohorts, followed by nivolumab (25%). Furthermore, the number of patients receiving a PD(L)1 inhibitor increased each year with the majority (73%) of use occurring between 2018 and 2020. Findings from this real-world study suggest that PD(L)1 inhibitors are increasingly used after first-line therapies in EC, especially among patients initially receiving chemotherapy only. New immunological therapies such as PD(L)1 inhibitors hold great promise for patients with solid tumors. A clearer understanding of their real-world utilization is critical.

description: International health electives pose specific ethical challenges for students travelling from to low and middle income countries. We undertook a systematic review of the literature on interventions to prepare students to identify ethical issues addressed, educational approaches and to collate evidence on the effectiveness of different strategies. We searched nine electronic databases of peer-reviewed literature and identified grey literature through key word searches; supplemented through citation mapping and expert consultation. Articles that described ethical training conducted by universities or professional bodies were included for review. We reviewed forty-four full text articles. Ten sources of published literature and seven sources of grey literature met our inclusion criteria. We identified thirteen ethical situations that students should be prepared to manage and eight generic skills to support this process. Most interventions were delivered before the elective, used case studies or guidelines. Some suggested ethical principles or a framework for analysis of ethical issues. Only two papers evaluated the intervention described. Our paper collates a small but growing body of work on education to prepare students to manage ethical issues. Ethical training should have elements that are delivered before, during and after the elective. Interventions should include case studies covering thirteen ethical issues identified here, linked to ethical principles and a process for responding to ethical issues. We suggest that evaluations of interventions are an important area for future research.
title: Fatigue in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

description: Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases often complain of fatigue which is considered as a priority symptom that impairs the quality of life. Fatigue in these patients is long-lasting and persistent, it includes physical, emotional and cognitive dimensions, and it is linked to many predictive factors. Its evaluation and therapeutic management are a major challenge in rheumatologist’s daily practice. Several assessments tools have been developed and validated over the past few years, most of them are based on the patient’s personal perspective. Treatment of fatigue is not only limited on suppressing inflammation and controlling disease’s activity, but there have been other alternatives including non-pharmacological strategies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, physical exercise and self-management. Fibromyalgia is one of the most common causes of fatigue in these patients, its screening and treatment should not be overlooked.
description: Les patients atteints de rhumatismes inflammatoires chroniques se plaignent souvent de fatigue qui est considérée comme un symptôme prioritaire et qui altère la qualité de vie. La fatigue chez ces patients est durable et persistante, elle comporte plusieurs dimensions physique, émotionnelle et cognitive, et elle est liée à de multiples facteurs prédictifs intéressant la maladie et le patient. Son évaluation et sa prise en charge thérapeutique constituent un vrai défi dans la pratique quotidienne du rhumatologue. Plusieurs outils d’évaluation ont été développés et validés sur les dernières années, dont la plupart reposent sur la perspective personnelle du patient. Le traitement ne se limite pas uniquement à supprimer l’inflammation et à contrôler l’activité de la maladie, mais il y a eu d’autres alternatives notamment non-pharmacologiques tels que les thérapies cognitivo- comportementales, l’exercice physique et l’autogestion de la maladie. La fibromyalgie associée constitue l’une des causes les plus fréquentes de la fatigue chez ces patients, son dépistage et sa prise en charge thérapeutique ne doivent pas être négligés.

description: Through this thesis I try to give a glimpse of the potential applications a rigorous fabrication of Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCE) could lead to. Producing structures made of LCE with sub micro-metric resolution and containing azobenzene molecules could open the way to 4D nano-printing. A buzzword that however hides a dormant breakthrough if the community manages to understand how to couple efficiently the chemistry and the physics behind this material.
After a theoretical presentation of the elastomer (chapter 2) some basic properties involving light interaction have been modeled and explained (chapter 3). Most of the content is then dedicated to the description of two specific fabrication techniques which are illustrated by two different applications. The first one is a micro swimmer whose
appendages could be made of LCE by Direct Laser Writing and remotely activated by light (chapters 4 and 5). The second one is a plasmonic grating embedded via nanotransfer printing into a LCE layer (chapters 6).

description: El projecte final de carrera realitzat s’emmarca dins el projecte CLAM, desenvolupat pel Grup de Tecnologia Musical (MTG) de l’Institut Universitari de l’Audivisual (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). L’MTG és un grup interdisciplinari el qual destaca per la recerca en l’àrea de l’anàlisi i sínitesi de so per a aplicacions relacionades amb la música i la multimèdia. Durant els últims anys, el grup ha anat creixent a un ritme vertiginós participant en un gran nombre de projectes, tant a nivell estatal com europeu i mundial. Els orígens del projecte CLAM (que és l’acrònim de C++ Library for Audio and Music) es remunten a l’any 2000 quan l’MTG té la necessitat d’implementar diversos sistemes software reaprofitant anteriors desenvolupaments, i donada la complexitat d’aquests projectes, la feina de reaprofitar codi resulta ser molt complexa i costosa. Per tant es va decidir iniciar aquest projecte amb el proposit de dotar d’eines i infrastructura software en forma de llibreria en C++ a la resta de desenvolupadors del grup, posant l`ènfasi en l’aspecte de la qualitat del software de la llibreria. A la tardor de l’any 2001 el projecte comença a definir-se i és precisament en aquestes dates quan vaig decidir buscar el tema pel meu PFC ja que havia quasi acabat els cursos de la carrera. Donat el meu interés per la música i la producció musical em vaig presentar a l’MTG expressant el meu interés per participar en els projectes que es desenvolupaven dins aquest grup. Així és com vaig entrar a formar part de l’MTG, com a becari de recerca, treballant amb el tot just començat projecte CLAM –aleshores anomenat simplement MTG-Classes a manca d’un nom. Aquest projecte final de carrera presenta, doncs, part del treball que he realitzat durant el primer any del projecte CLAM. Darrerament, CLAM ha ampliat els seus objectius ja que desde fa dos mesos forma part del projecte europeu IST Agnula l’objectiu del qual és produir una distribució Linux, de codi obert, orientada a la producció multimèdia. PRÒLEG 7 Aquest document s’estructura en dos grans apartats: la primera de requeriments i dels conceptes previs que es necessiten per fer i entendre el projecte; i la segona que és pròpiament la realització del projecte, incloent-hi les decisions de disseny més rellevants, la metodologia usada, també un anàlisi enconòmic i la planificació del projecte, i acabant amb les conclusions i línies futures.

description: PEGylation of proteins remains an integral part of macromolecular therapeutics due to its well-known benign effects and pharmacokinetic enhancement properties. We report herein that PEGylation can be taken to the next level of complexity and dynamic behaviour by introducing highly stable but responsive supramolecular handles. By attaching small boronic acid groups onto proteins and salicylhydroxamate moiety to end-functionalise PEG chains, we demonstrate a comprehensive study on the facile assembly/disassembly of a core-shell protein–polymer architecture using fluorescence and microscale thermophoresis on a macromolecular level. In addition, we demonstrate that both the activity and cellular transfer of functional proteins remained conserved throughout the assembly process thus establishing a rapid and orthogonal strategy towards protein PEGylation.

description: The use of the Self-reporting Tool On Pain in people with Intellectual Disabilities (STOP-ID!), an online application developed by the authors to aid in the self-reporting of pain, was evaluated in 40 adults with Down syndrome. Comprehension of the use of the tool (the ability to recognize representations for vocabulary and pain, and to navigate the tool interface), and the use of the tool to self-report pain experience, were investigated. The use of the online tool was investigated with both a laptop and a tablet computer in a crossover design. The results provide evidence that more participants recognized representations of pain location and pain affect than representations of pain intensity and pain quality. A small percentage of participants demonstrated the ability to recognize all of the representations of vocabulary items and to navigate the tool without assistance (18% laptop, 18% tablet). Half of the participants were able to report at least one pain component of a current or remembered pain experience without assistance (50% laptop, 53% tablet). Ways to improve the design of tools for reporting pain and to improve performance are suggested.

description: We developed an improved technique for measuring the size distribution of black carbon (BC) particles suspended in liquid water to facilitate quantitative studies of the wet deposition of BC. The measurement system, which consists of a nebulizer and a single-particle soot photometer, incorporates two improvements into the system that we developed earlier. First, we extended the upper limit of the detectable BC size from 0.9 μm to about 4.0 μm by modifying the photo-detector for measuring the laser-induced incandescence signal. Second, we introduced a pneumatic nebulizer (Marin-5) with a high extraction efficiency (∼50.0%) that was independent of particle diameter up to 2.0 μm. For BC mass concentrations less than 70 μg L−1, we experimentally showed that the diameters of BC particles did not appreciably change during the Marin-5 extraction process, consistent with theoretical calculations. Finally, we demonstrated by laboratory experiments that the size distributions of ambient BC particles changed little during their growth into cloud droplets under supersaturation of water vapor. Using our improved system, we measured the size distributions of BC particles simultaneously in air and rainwater in Tokyo during summer 2014. We observed that the size distributions of BC particles in rainwater shifted to larger sizes compared with those observed in ambient air, indicating that larger BC particles in air were removed more efficiently by precipitation.

Year: 2020

description: Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), häufig übersetzt als solidarische Landwirtschaft, ist eine innovative Form der direkten Kooperation zwischen Landwirten und Verbrauchern: Nach gemeinsam festgelegten Grundsätzen teilen sie die Kosten sowie die Produkte aber auch die Verantwortung und die Risiken, die aus der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion entstehen. Von der engen Verbindung von Produktion und Konsum werden positive Effekte auf die ökologische, ökonomische und soziale Nachhaltigkeit agrarischer System erwartet. Um zu dem bislang geringen Kenntnisstand zu CSA in Deutschland beizutragen, wurde im Zeitraum von 2015 bis 2018 am Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung ein Forschungsprojektes durchgeführt, das durch das Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft gefördert wurde. Ziel des Projektes war es, CSA als alternative Nischenstrategie für landwirtschaftliche Betriebe zu betrachten. Der Beitrag gibt die zentralen Ergebnisse wieder.

Towards Automatic Rhythm Description of Musical Audio Signals. Representations, Computational Models and Applications
Creators: name: Gouyon, Fabien
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2003

description: The aim of this document is to give an overview of part of my research activities during the last years and to advocate a research proposal for the fulfilment of my Ph.D. dissertation.
 This document is concerned with the automatic description of rhythmic aspects of musical audio signals. First, we formulate motivation statements to this topic and comment on terminology issues and inherent difficulties to the problem of automatic rhythm description. Then, we propose a review of rhythm representation schemes, rhythm description computational models and applications for rhythmic description in the context of music content-based processing. In this review we highlight a set of requirements that we believe of interest for rhythm representations; we also propose an original comparison of many state-of-the-art computational models with respect to the functional blocks of a comprehensive diagram. We then report on our initial research objectives and our contributions to date We implemented algorithms for the automatic extraction from musical audio signals of the tempo and beats at three different metrical levels, as well as the swing ratio. We proposed enhancements to existing rhythm representation schemes.
 Evaluations are also provided the tick induction algorithm reaches an error rate of about 20%, in tactus induction the error rate is about 25% and in downbeat induction it is about 10%. Finally, given our initial aims and current achievements we formulate a research proposal for future work the main objective will be the design of a computational model for the description of audio signal metrical structure, implementing influential schemes between metrical levels.

description: Capsule The analyses support the grouping of the three Acanthis species, although a large split is observed between the A. hornemanni subspecies. Aims To investigate the morphological variation in A. f. islandica among different periods of the year and its morphological differentiation from the other subspecies A. f. flammea and A. f. rostrata, and also from the redpoll species, A. cabaret and the two subspecies of A. hornemanni, exilipes and hornemanni. Methods The subspecies status of the Icelandic population was evaluated with Amadon's rule, by comparing its variation of traits to the distribution of the traits in different species/subspecies of the group. ResultsA. f. islandica is characterized by intermediate wing, bill and tail lengths. Based on the 75% rule, wing length and bill depth can be used to discriminate A. f. islandica from both extreme morphs of redpolls (currently classified as different species); A. hornemanni and A. cabaret, and tail and wing length can distinguish A. f. islandica from its conspecifics A. f. flammea. The overall morphological divergence within the redpoll complex is not supported by association to the studied nuclear markers. Conclusion The taxonomic status of the three redpoll species is supported by Amadon's rule, however the subspecies status of the Icelandic Redpoll remains unclear.

description: Capsule Ortolan Bunting occurrence is associated with bare ground, Lucerne, shrub cover and hedgerows/tree rows. Aims To assess the habitat features selected by Ortolan Buntings at the territory level in semi-open landscapes, in the northern Apennines of Italy. Methods We mapped territories in ten different plots and built a habitat selection model comparing 52 occupied cells with 52 unoccupied ones (cell size: 1 ha). We built multivariate adaptive regression splines models based on ground-measured variables. Results The model revealed an association with intermediate Lucerne cover (50% of the cell), high shrub cover, bare ground (≥5%) and hedgerows/tree rows (≥25 m/ha). The most important driver of occurrence was bare ground (optimum at 5–20%). Conclusion The maintenance of the mosaic and low-intensity farmed landscape, the promotion of Lucerne and the conservation/restoration of hedgerows/tree rows, may be promoted through the Rural Development Programme. The conservation of bare soil, grassland and shrubs at optimum amount at fine-scale could be the object of an agri-environment scheme targeted specifically at the Ortolan Bunting.

Realtime Algorithmic Music Systems From Fractals and Chaotic Functions Toward an Active Musical Instrument
Creators: name: Hinojosa, Ruben
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2003

description: My research work focuses on a particular approach to symbolic modeling of music, concerned with the possible development of a new model of computer music system Active Musical Instruments. I will show that the basis of this model is present in several ideas that have emerged in the recent past. I will also show that here converge concepts from relevant research areas that are under continuous and growing development, such as Algorithmic Music Systems, Interactive Music Systems, Mapping, and Human Computer Interfaces. I intend to contribute to the setting-up of a formalized framework for the study of Active Instruments as a model of a new kind of computer-based musical instrument. So, the elaboration of a theoretical, conceptual and methodological framework for the study, design and development of these instruments will be proposed. Active instruments own a generative nature, which imply a generative model for its core. I will explain why iterated and chaotic functions (Ifs) could be a good candidate for the development of this core. Thus, I will also propose the study of this kind of model inside the proposed framework as a particular and narrow approach to the nature of the problem. In fact, in this research work I propose the development of the following relation Active Instrument = Realtime Algorithmic Music (Ifs?) + Interactive Control. Finally, I will suggest some possible future directions for achieving my objectives.

description: This article introduces covariance regression analysis for a p-dimensional response vector. The proposed method explores the regression relationship between the p-dimensional covariance matrix and auxiliary information. We study three types of estimators: maximum likelihood, ordinary least squares, and feasible generalized least squares estimators. Then, we demonstrate that these regression estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal. Furthermore, we obtain the high dimensional and large sample properties of the corresponding covariance matrix estimators. Simulation experiments are presented to demonstrate the performance of both regression and covariance matrix estimates. An example is analyzed from the Chinese stock market to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed covariance regression model.

description: SARS-CoV2 infection causes COVID-19, and represents the most emergent health care crisis of our generation. Ample evidence in the scientific literature suggests that SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and endemic human coronaviruses infect brain cells. We delineate a rationale for encouraging evaluation of the brain, and in particular the brainstem, in COVID-19 so that potential neuropathological mechanisms can be delineated.
