description: Introduction: Self-care includes taking care of our psychosocial health. Many experts agree that self-care should be included in training for Family Medicine (FM) residents, though it is unclear to what extent and by what means. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate competencies of FM residents in self-care and changes in knowledge, skills and attitudes after an educational compact intervention. Methods: The authors performed a pre-post comparison on residents who were registered in the FM residency program KWBW VerbundweiterbildungPLUS© (n = 401). FM residents were offered participation in a self-care training (270 minutes featuring a broad spectrum of input and practical experience). The intervention group (IG) completed a questionnaire directly before the seminar (T1) and 10 weeks afterwards (T2). Non-attendees (=control group; CG) were asked to fill out a basic questionnaire once. Basic questionnaires for IG and CG covered previous experiences and skills while the follow-up questionnaire at T2 also focused on change of competencies and attitudes. All questionnaires contained free-text questions to capture qualitative impressions. Results: 287 FM residents (IG: n = 212; CG: n = 75) participated in the study. Generally, 86.4% of FM residents had worried that their profession might endanger their personal health (T1: n = 180, CG: n = 68). At T2, 59.5% of IG (n = 66/111) declared that they would not worry about their personal health anymore (T1:T2, p Conclusion: A compact intervention in self-care strengthens competencies, increases awareness, and helps FM residents identify their psychosocial health risks. Further research is necessary to specify the effectiveness of similar compact interventions in self-care and their long-term results.

description: In order to understand characteristics of atrial fibrillation patients in the era of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), this study explores differences in characteristics between patients treated with dabigatran etexilate (DE) and warfarin (W) that may be due to patient channeling in ‘real-world’ clinical practice. Medco claims data were used to characterize 41,805 non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients from the US with a DE (N = 7055) or W (N = 34,750) prescription between February 2011 and April 2012. The first prescription for each treatment in this period defined the index date. The treatment groups were stratified by newly diagnosed or warfarin-experienced patients. Characteristics, comedications, and comorbidities in the 12 month period prior to index date were assessed. Newly diagnosed patients initiating DE had overall lower use of comedications compared to W patients. In contrast, warfarin-experienced patients switching from W to DE showed higher use of antibiotics, beta blockers, gastrointestinal drugs and NSAIDs compared to patients remaining on W. Newly diagnosed NVAF patients initiating DE showed lower proportions for comorbidities such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and renal disease. This was also reflected in the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) (mean DE 2.1 vs. W 3.0) and the CHA2DS2-VASc score (mean DE 3.4 vs. W 4.0). For warfarin-experienced NVAF patients, these differences were not seen. Interpretation of results is limited by the fact that administrative claims data are not gathered for scientific research. Underreporting of non-serious conditions might occur and life-style variables, laboratory values and over-the-counter medication were not available. As also seen for other newly marketed drugs, differences in baseline characteristics, comedication, and comorbidities were detected between DE and W in newly diagnosed patients, as well as in warfarin-experienced patients. This channeling may have significant impact on comparative outcome studies if not properly addressed in study design and analysis.

description: Radial migration is an important dynamical effect that has reshaped the Galactic disc, but its origin has yet to be elucidated. In this work, we present evidence that resonant dragging by the corotation of a decelerating bar could be the main driver of radial migration in the Milky Way disc. Using a test particle simulation, we demonstrate this scenario explains the two distinct age-metallicity sequences observed in the solar vicinity: the plateauing upper sequence is interpreted as stars dragged outwards by the expanding corotation of the decelerating bar and the steeper lower sequence as stars formed locally around the solar circle. The upper migrated sequence dominates at guiding radii around the current corotation radius of the bar, $R\sim7\,\mathrm{kpc}$, but rapidly dies away beyond this where the mechanism cannot operate. This behaviour naturally explains the radial dependence of the $\mathrm{[α/Fe]}$-bimodality, in particular the truncation of the high-$\mathrm{[α/Fe]}$ disc beyond the solar circle. Under our proposed radial migration scenario, we constrain the Milky Way bar's pattern speed evolution using the age-metallicity distribution of stars currently trapped at corotation. We find the bar likely formed with an initial pattern speed of $60-100$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$ and began decelerating $6-8$ Gyr ago at a rate $-\dotΩ/Ω^2\sim0.0025-0.0040$ (where the quoted ranges include systematic uncertainties).

description: {This paper presents the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey around the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). We have measured 1599 new redshifts with VIMOS on the European Observatory Very Large Telescope - UT3, in an area 21x21.6 arcmin^2, including 784 redshifts in the Hubble Space Telescope - Advanced Camera for Surveys GOODS area. 30% of all objects with I_AB=24 have been observed independently of magnitude, indicating that the sample is purely magnitude limited. We have reached an unprecedented completeness level of 88% in terms of the ratio of secure measurements vs. observed objects, while 95% of all objects have a redshift measurement. A total of 1452 galaxies, 139 stars, 8 QSOs have a redshift identification, 141 of these being unsecure measurements. The redshift distribution down to I_AB=24 is peaked at a median redshift z=0.73, with a significant high redshift tail extending up to ~4. Several high density peaks in the distribution of galaxies are identified. In particular, the strong peak at z=0.735 contains more than 130 galaxies in a velocity range +/-2000 km/s distributed all across the transverse ~20 h^-1 Mpc of the survey. We are releasing all redshifts to the community, along with the cross identification with HST-ACS GOODS sources on the CENCOS database environment http://cencosw.oamp.fr.

Accessibility of Computed Tomography (CT) : Survey to identify underserved populations in rural Alberta
Creators: name: Yau, May
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) access is associated with an earlier diagnosis and initiation of treatment. As part of the clinical pathway, inadequate CT accessibility can contribute towards rural health inequities. A dedicated study on the accessibility of CT in rural Alberta, and perceived impact on patients has not been conducted previously. Methods: Physicians who practice emergency medicine out of one or more rural facilities in Alberta were invited to participate in a mixed methods survey on the accessibility of CT. A process map was created to provide an overview on CT access from rural emergency departments (EDs). Results: Thirteen physicians responded to the survey. Four respondents practice at a facility with onsite CT but limited hours of operation, and nine respondents practice at facilities without onsite CT. Respondents rated the value of CT as equal or higher than their accessibility satisfaction scores. Patients are often held in the emergency department (ED) waiting for CT to resume service, or are transferred to a referral facility for their scan. Distance and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) shortages are common sources of delays, which are perceived to contribute towards poorer patient outcomes. Discussion: CT infrastructure is limited in rural Alberta. Accessibility is further limited by hours of operation, and scan restrictions. High perceived value and low satisfaction indicate the demand for CT exceeds service levels in rural areas. Limited hours of operation for CT obstructs patient flow at all facilities within the catchment area. Poor CT accessibility is a barrier to stroke triage, thus, patients from select rural communities experience greater difficulty accessing treatment within the optimal therapeutic window. Frequent use of EMS for offsite CT transfers has a siphoning impact on limited resources, which have already become more constrained due to Covid-19. Extending CT service hours could preserve EMS crews for emergency patient care, and reduce patient holds in the ED; freeing resources to improve patient flow, and reduce ED wait times. Limitations: Responses are limited to opportunistic data, and subject to recall bias. Due to a low response rate, conclusions cannot be drawn regarding which communities experience the greatest inequities in health access compared to others. Recommendations: Further investigation on the feasibility of extending service hours for existing CT scanners is recommended. Facilities without onsite CT can focus on the frequency of imaging related EMS transfers, and access to acute stroke resources to determine if the addition of an onsite scanner can be justified.

description: We propose to induce a time crystalline state in a high-$T_c$ superconductor, by optically driving a sum resonance of the Higgs mode and a Josephson plasma mode. The generic cubic process that couples these fundamental excitations converts driving of the sum resonance into simultaneous resonant driving of both modes, resulting in an incommensurate subharmonic motion. We use a numerical implementation of a semi-classical driven-dissipative lattice gauge theory on a three-dimensional layered lattice, which models the geometry of cuprate superconductors, to demonstrate the robustness of this motion against thermal fluctuations. We demonstrate this light-induced time crystalline phase for mono- and bilayer systems and show that this order can be detected for pulsed driving under realistic technological conditions.

One-loop corrections to polarization observables

description: We review the physics of polarization observables in high energy reactions in general and discuss the status of \NLO one--loop corrections to these observables in specific. Many high order radiative corrections exists for rates but not many \NLO radiative corrections exist for polarization observables. The radiative correction calculations for polarization observables are somewhat more complicated than those for rates. They tend to be smaller than those for the rates. In most of the examples we discuss we include mass effects which significantly complicate the radiative correction calculations. We elaborate a general scheme which allows one to enumerate the number of independent density matrix elements in a reaction and provide explicit examples of angular decay distributions in self--analyzing decays that allow one to experimentally measure the density matrix elements. We provide examples of reactions where certain density matrix elements are only populated at \NLO or by mass effects. In our discussion we concentrate on semileptonic bottom and top quark decays which are linked to leptonic $ μ$ and $ τ$ decays through a Fierz transformation.

description: A new set of the next-to-leading order (NLO) and the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) low-energy constants $L_i^r$ and $C_i^r$ in chiral perturbation theory is obtained. These values are computed using the new experimental data with a new calculation method. This method combines the traditional global fit and Monte Carlo method together. The higher order contributions are estimated with this method. The theoretical values of the observables provide good convergence at each chiral dimension, except for the NNLO values of the $πK$ scattering lengths $a_0^{3/2}$ and $a_0^{1/2}$. The fitted values for $L_i^r$ at NLO are close to their results with the new method at NNLO; i.e., these $L_i^r$ are nearly order-independent in this method. The estimated ranges for $C_i^r$ are consistent with those in the literature, and their possible upper or/and lower boundaries are given. The values of some linear combinations of $C_i^r$ are also given, and they are more reliable. If one knows a more exact value $C_i^r$, another $C_i^r$ can be obtained by these values.

description: Previous studies have raised concerns around the transparency and disclosure rates of clinical trial results on clinical trial registries and in the scientific literature. The objective of this study was to assess the timely disclosure in the public domain of results of company-sponsored clinical trials related to all new medicines approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) over a recent 3 year period. The study surveyed various publicly available information sources for both clinical trial registration and disclosure of results (including clinical trial registries, the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations [IFPMA] Clinical Trials Portal, EMA European Public Assessment Reports and PubMed), searched from 27 December 2012 to 31 January 2013. The study covered all 53 new medicines (except vaccines and fixed-dose combinations) approved for marketing by 34 pharmaceutical companies by the EMA in 2009, 2010 and 2011. It included all completed company-sponsored clinical trials conducted in patients and recorded on a clinical trial registry and/or included in an EPAR. The main outcome measure was the proportion of trials for which results had been disclosed on a registry or in the scientific literature either within 12 months of the later of either first regulatory approval or trial completion, or by 31 January 2013 (end of survey). Of the completed clinical trials associated with all 53 new medicines approved by the EMA between 2009 and 2011, 77% had results disclosed within 12 months. By 31 January 2013, this had increased to 89%. Rates of results disclosure within 12 months were 71%, 81% and 86% for new medicines approved in 2009, 2010 and 2011 respectively. Disclosure increased to 86%, 93% and 91% respectively by 31 January 2013. Although this was a purely quantitative study which did not aim to assess the content of disclosure against any specific requirements, limitations relating to a number of difficulties in finding all relevant data from multiple sources in the public domain were captured. Results of over three-quarters of all company-sponsored clinical trials related to new medicines recently approved by the EMA were disclosed within a year of completion or regulatory approval, and almost 90% were disclosed by 31 January 2013, suggesting transparency is now better than has sometimes been reported previously.

description: This study aims to modify different types of steel slag by heating, characterise the material and test its ability for adsorption of phosphate and ammonia from aquatic products processing wastewater. The materials were characterised by SEM, EDS, BET and FT-IR analyses. The effects of the type of steel slag, calcination temperature in steel slag modification, pH, contact time, adsorbent mass and initial pollutant concentration were investigated using the one-factor-at-a-time approach. The results show that the adsorption kinetic of the samples followed the pseudo-second-order model, whereas their adsorption isotherm fitted well with the monomolecular adsorptive Langmuir with a maximum phosphate adsorption capacity of 45.045 mgPO43-/g. Optimisation using Response Surface Methodology was conducted with the independent factors (adsorbent doses, contact time and calcination temperature of steel slag) and response (removal efficiency of phosphate). The temperature and dosage of the material significantly affected phosphate removal efficiency and optimisation conditions were suggested. Validation of one optimum condition at the calcination temperature of 801°C, the adsorbent dosage of 11.9 g/L and the contact time of 72 min using real aquatic products processing wastewater resulted in the removal efficiencies of 86.93, 87.59, 7.76 and 7.58% for phosphate, total phosphorus, ammonia and total nitrogen, respectively.

description: The modulation of voice properties, such as pitch, volume, and speed, is crucial for delivering a successful public speech. However, it is challenging to master different voice modulation skills. Though many guidelines are available, they are often not practical enough to be applied in different public speaking situations, especially for novice speakers. We present VoiceCoach, an interactive evidence-based approach to facilitate the effective training of voice modulation skills. Specifically, we have analyzed the voice modulation skills from 2623 high-quality speeches (i.e., TED Talks) and use them as the benchmark dataset. Given a voice input, VoiceCoach automatically recommends good voice modulation examples from the dataset based on the similarity of both sentence structures and voice modulation skills. Immediate and quantitative visual feedback is provided to guide further improvement. The expert interviews and the user study provide support for the effectiveness and usability of VoiceCoach.

description: We explore the region of influence of a galaxy cluster using numerical simulations of cold dark matter halos. Many of the observed galaxies in a cluster are expected to be infalling for the first time. Half of the halos at distances of one to two virial radii today have previously orbited through the cluster, most of them have even passed through the dense inner regions of the cluster. Some halos at distances of up to three times the virial radius have also passed through the cluster core. We do not find a significant correlation of ``infall age'' versus present day position for substructures and the scatter at a given position is very large. This relation may be much more significant if we could resolve the physically overmerged galaxies in the central region.

description: Nanofibre-based optical cavities are particularly useful for quantum optics application, such as the development of integrated single-photon sources, and for studying fundamental light-matter interactions in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED). Although several techniques have been used to produce nanofibre-based optical cavities, focussed ion beam (FIB) milling is becoming popular; it can be used for the fabrication of complex structures directly in the nanofibre. This technique uses a highly accelerated ion beam to remove atoms from the target material with high resolution. However, it is challenging to mill insulating materials with highly-curved structures and large aspect ratios, such as silica nanofibres, due to charge accumulation in the material that leads to mechanical vibrations and misalignment issues. In this article, we highlight the main features of nanofibres and briefly review cQED with nanofibre-based optical cavities. An overview of the milling process is given with a summary of different FIB milled devices and their applications. Finally, we present our technique to produce nanofibre cavities by FIB milling. To overcome the aforementioned challenges, we present a specially designed base plate with an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated Si substrate and outline our procedure, which improves stability during milling and increases repeatability.

description: This Ph.D. dissertation will focus on the research and development of an acoustic pressure sensor tailored for hypersonic boundary layer flow measurements. Hypersonic boundary layer flows comprise shocks, laminar-to-turbulent transitions, and high-frequency turbulence with small (sub 1-mm) characteristic length scales. Non-invasive acoustic pressure measurements at the walls of such flows offer useful diagnostics and are desired by the hypersonic community. The desired sensor specification are as follows: operation up to 1,000-K temperature, 0.5-MHz bandwidth, and sensing elements spanning less than 1 mm. The chosen embodiment is a piezoelectric sensor employing AlN as the sensing material. Preliminary prototypes have been micromachined at the UT MRC. These sensors are comprised of diaphragms with 500-µm diameter and 2-µm thickness. The sensors have been packaged into a cylindrical form factor with 0.25-inch diameter for mounting in hypersonic test-tunnel facilities. The dissertation will focus on the rigorous performance characterization of these sensors, the exploration of an array embodiment to enable pressure gradient measurements, and sensor design and characterization at elevated temperatures.

We characterize the effect of a nearby wall on this perturbation, and quantify the importance of finite size effects. Although for the sake of simplicity most of our explicit formulae deal with a 2D situation, our statements hold for 3D situations as well.

 Euloxia is also restricted to southern Australia. This genus is represented by ten species, of which the eggs of two species are described. The eggs of these species are quite different in outward appearance but share some common features. Both eggs are pill­box shaped with somewhat rounded sides. The aeroplyes in fugitivaria Guenée are slightly elevated and distributed in two narrow bands around the perimeter of the egg. The chorion is relatively smooth. In meandraria aeropyles are absent and the chorion is conspicuously marked with regularly spaced, deep pits. The egg of E. meracula Turner (McFarland 1988) appears similar in general shape to E. fugitivaria.

description: We consider the extrinsic geometry of surfaces in simply isotropic space, a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of index zero. Since the metric is degenerate, a surface normal cannot be unequivocally defined based on metric properties only. To understand the contrast between distinct choices of an isotropic Gauss map, here we study surfaces with a Gauss map whose coordinates are eigenfunctions of the surface Laplace-Beltrami operator. We take into account two choices, the so-called minimal and parabolic normals, and show that when applied to simply isotropic invariant surfaces the condition that the coordinates of the corresponding Gauss map are eigenfunctions leads to planes, certain cylinders, or surfaces with constant isotropic mean curvature. Finally, we also investigate (non-necessarily invariant) surfaces with harmonic Gauss map and show this characterizes constant mean curvature surfaces.

description: Glycopyrronium is a once daily (o.d.) long-acting muscarinic antagonist that is approved for maintenance treatment of COPD. This post-hoc pooled analysis of two phase III studies, GLycopyrronium bromide in COPD airWays 1 and 2 (GLOW1 and GLOW2), evaluated the effects of glycopyrronium compared with placebo and tiotropium over 26–52 weeks in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD. Patients aged ≥40 years were randomised to 26 weeks’ treatment with glycopyrronium 50 μg o.d. or placebo (GLOW1) or 52 weeks’ treatment with glycopyrronium 50 μg o.d., placebo, or open-label tiotropium 18 μg o.d. (GLOW2). The primary efficacy endpoint in both studies was trough forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) at Week 12. Other outcomes included additional spirometry endpoints, moderate or severe exacerbations, dyspnoea, health status, rescue medication use and safety. Serial spirometry over 24 hours was conducted in a subset of patients. Of 1888 subjects randomised, 98.2% were analysed (glycopyrronium 1059, tiotropium 267, placebo 528). Least squares mean (LSM) trough FEV1 was significantly higher with glycopyrronium versus placebo at Week 12 (treatment difference ± standard error [SE]: 103 ± 11.2 mL; p 1 from baseline with glycopyrronium versus placebo at all assessments (p 1 immediately after the first dose on Day 1 versus placebo (90 mL at 5 minutes, 144 mL at 15 minutes; both p p p p Glycopyrronium 50 μg o.d. provided early bronchodilation after the first dose that was sustained for 24 hours, and reduced the risk of exacerbations compared with placebo, with efficacy at least equivalent to tiotropium.

description: Background: Incorporating economic evidence in clinical guidelines enhances efficiency in healthcare systems. The underuse of high-quality economic evidence in clinical guideline development can result in inefficiencies that undermine population health. Consequently, economic dimensions have been incorporated into guideline development in recent years. Even with these advances, the process of incorporating economic evidence into clinical guidelines is unclear. Furthermore, the selection, appraisal, and synthesis of economic evidence to be included in guideline development is often inconsistent and non-systematic. Thus, we aim to examine the literature for guidance on methods, including economic evidence, in developing clinical practice guidelines and summarise these methods.

Methods: We will conduct a scoping review to examine current practices in integrating economic evidence in guideline development, guided by the framework proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for scoping reviews. We will develop a search strategy using keywords and index terms related to economic evidence in guidelines. Two authors will search the relevant electronic databases and grey literature sources for methods manuals published within the last ten years. After screening the guideline manuals against the eligibility criteria, two authors will independently review the full texts to extract the data. We will use a narrative approach to describe the dominant methodological approaches and challenges identified in incorporating economic evidence in guideline development.

Conclusion: The results from this scoping review will provide an overview of the current methods for incorporating economic evidence in guideline development. This will provide guidance for guideline development groups in Malawi, Nigeria, and South Africa working on the Global Evidence, Local Adaptation project, but it may also be applicable to a broader global audience.

On the Unusual Effectiveness of Type-Aware Operator Mutations for Testing SMT Solvers

description: We propose type-aware operator mutation, a simple, but unusually effective approach for testing SMT solvers. The key idea is to mutate operators of conforming types within the seed formulas to generate well-typed mutant formulas. These mutant formulas are then used as the test cases for SMT solvers. We realized type-aware operator mutation within the OpFuzz tool and used it to stress-test Z3 and CVC4, two state-of-the-art SMT solvers. Type-aware operator mutations are unusually effective: During one year of extensive testing with OpFuzz, we reported 1,092 bugs on Z3's and CVC4's respective GitHub issue trackers, out of which 819 unique bugs were confirmed and 685 of the confirmed bugs were fixed by the developers. The detected bugs are highly diverse -- we found bugs of many different types (soundness bugs, invalid model bugs, crashes, etc.), logics and solver configurations. We have further conducted an in-depth study of the bugs found by OpFuzz. The study results show that the bugs found by OpFuzz are of high quality. Many of them affect core components of the SMT solvers' codebases, and some required major changes for the developers to fix. Among the 819 confirmed bugs found by OpFuzz, 184 were soundness bugs, the most critical bugs in SMT solvers, and 489 were in the default modes of the solvers. Notably, OpFuzz found 27 critical soundness bugs in CVC4, which has proved to be a very stable SMT solver.

description: This project explores how some of Canada’s diaspora community members view their cultural identities during times of conflict. Nearly a quarter of Canada’s population is made up of immigrants of varying generations. These immigrants are the diaspora who experience their cultures, identities, and identities in conflict in shifting and sometimes confusing ways. The questions that drove this project were spurred by my own fourth-generation Ukrainian heritage. When Russia invaded Ukraine, new emotions surrounding my attachment to my heritage homeland and who I am because of those ties rose to the surface. I share this complex re-evaluation of my identity with other individuals who trace a connection to a country experiencing conflict. I set out to understand whether or not I was alone in these complex emotions and to see how others understood it for themselves. Research took the format of a deep literature review of basic theories of identity, social psychology, and cultural psychology, as well as previous research on identity, identity and social media, diaspora, and social media and news consumption by diaspora. The literature review was then used as a guideline to formulate a question line for a series of interviews conducted with Canadian diaspora members of varying generations, ages, cultural attachments, and heritage backgrounds. Those interviews, along with my personal reflections, were then compiled into a final podcast series. Cultural identity includes real and imagined attachments, and a multitude of different circumstances leading to how diaspora members feel about their homelands. Guilt, a concept called the Myth of Return, barriers to returning, and complex calls to action — from duty to social media performance — all play a part in how interviewees understood their cultural identities. The news and social media also play a key part in awareness of current events, driving action, grief, and creating a deeper understanding or attachment to heritage. All of these aspects play into a feedback loop of behaviour and validation that strengthens or weakens attachment to heritage and culture.

description: We analyze a model for the synchronization of nonlinear oscillators due to reactive coupling and nonlinear frequency pulling motivated by the physics of arrays of nanoscale oscillators. We study the model for the mean field case of all-to-all coupling, deriving results for the onset of synchronization as the coupling or nonlinearity increase, and the fully locked state when all the oscillators evolve with the same frequency.
