description: This study sets to address the problem of rural under-development in Akwa Ibom State. Themain objective of the study is to undertake a study of Public Financial Management and RuralDevelopment in Akwa Ibom State between 2008 and 2017. The study adopted the theory ofDistributive Justice propounded by John Rawls in 1971. The population of Akwa Ibom Stateplaced at 3,920,208 and drawn from the National Population Commission (NPC, 2006) census wasused to determine the sample size of 200 through the use of Taro Yamane’s formula. In all andwith a well structured questionnaire as the major instrument of data collection in this study, thefinal response rate of 182 was determined after sorting out damaged questionnaire forms fromrespondents. The study made use of Historical/Descriptive Survey Design and ProportionalStratified Random Sampling Method to gather data from respondents. The data collected werepresented in simple percentage tables and analyzed using chi-square Statistical Tools. Three Null(Ho) and Alternate (Hi) hypotheses, respectively were formulated. These, among others include:Single stream of revenue or mono-economy had likely not impacted, to a large extent, on ruraldevelopment in Akwa Ibom State between 2008 and 2017. Conversely, single stream of revenue ormono-economy had likely impacted, to a large extent, on rural development in Akwa Ibom Statebetween 2008 and 2017. Three major research questions were asked in order to elicit answers fromrespondents that helped in the testing of the hypotheses. One of those three questions was, “hadsingle stream of revenue or mono-economy likely impacted, to a large extent, on rural developmentin Akwa Ibom State between 2008 and 2017? Three findings were also made and based on thosefindings, three recommendations were given. Among the other findings was, that single stream ofrevenue or mono-economy had not impacted, to a large extent, on rural development in Akwa IbomState between 2008 and 2017. Finally, one of the recommendations made was that, “the stategovernment should create other sources of revenue, apart from oil or federation account.

description: We analyze fermionic criticality in relativistic 2+1 dimensional fermion systems using the functional renormalization group (FRG), concentrating on the Gross-Neveu (chiral Ising) and the Thirring model. While a variety of methods, including the FRG, appear to reach quantitative consensus for the critical regime of the Gross-Neveu model, the situation seems more diverse for the Thirring model with different methods yielding vastly different results. We present a first exploratory FRG study of such fermion systems including momentum-dependent couplings using pseudo-spectral methods. Our results corroborate the stability of results in Gross-Neveu-type universality classes, but indicate that momentum dependencies become more important in Thirring-type models for small flavor numbers. For larger flavor numbers, we confirm the existence of a non-Gaussian fixed point and thus a physical continuum limit. In the large-$N$ limit, we obtain an analytic solution for the momentum dependence of the fixed-point vertex.

description: The purpose of this study was to compare student achievement and satisfaction in online versus traditional introductory statistics courses. The sample studied were undergraduates at a small liberal arts school enrolled in introductory statistics over a period of six semesters. There were a few significant findings in student achievement in the overall sample and other meaningful results were found when assessing nursing and business majors specifically. Student satisfaction results between the two formats were inconclusive. Future studies on this topic can include hybrid education data in addition to online and traditional to see if there are any differences in achievement or student satisfaction in that population. Another possible study could be done regarding achievement in students who took preparatory training prior to enrolling in an online course.

description: ABP 798 is a proposed biosimilar to rituximab reference product (RP), an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety results from the comparative clinical study that evaluated the PK, PD, safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity of ABP 798 versus rituximab RP are presented here. Subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) received 2 doses of ABP 798, United States-sourced RP (rituximab US) or European Union-sourced RP (rituximab EU), each consisting of two 1000-mg infusions 2 weeks apart. For the second dose (week 24), ABP 798- and rituximab EU-treated subjects received the same treatment; rituximab US-treated subjects transitioned to ABP 798. End points included area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinity and maximum observed serum concentration following the second infusion of the first dose (PK) and percentage of subjects with complete CD19+ cell depletion days 1-33 (PD). Primary analysis established PK similarity between ABP 798 and rituximab RP based on 90% confidence intervals of the adjusted geometric mean ratios being within a prespecified equivalence margin of 0.8 and 1.25. Complete CD19+ B-cell depletion on day 3 among groups confirmed PD similarity. These findings demonstrated PK/PD similarity between ABP 798 and rituximab RP in subjects with moderate to severe RA.

description: The oldest open clusters within 250 pc of the Sun, the Hyades and Praesepe, are important benchmarks for calibrating stellar properties such as rotation and magnetic activity. As they have the same age and roughly solar metallicity, these clusters serve as an ideal laboratory for testing the agreement between theoretical and empirical rotation-activity relations at ~650 Myr. The re-purposed Kepler mission, K2, has allowed me to measure rotation periods for dozens of Hyads and hundreds of Praesepe members, including the first periods measured for fully convective Hyads. These data have enabled new tests of models describing the evolution of stellar rotation; discrepancies with these models imply that we still do not fully understand how magnetic fields affect stellar spin-down. I show how we can compare the dependence of H-alpha and X-ray emission on rotation in order to test theories of magnetic field topology and stellar dynamos. These tests inform models of stellar wind-driven angular momentum loss and the age-rotation-activity relation. I also present rotation periods measured for 48 Hyads and 677 Praesepe members with K2, and discuss the impact of unresolved binaries on the study of rotational evolution.

description: Locating apparent horizons is not only important for a complete understanding of numerically generated spacetimes, but it may also be a crucial component of the technique for evolving black-hole spacetimes accurately. A scheme proposed by Libson et al., based on expanding the location of the apparent horizon in terms of symmetric trace-free tensors, seems very promising for use with three-dimensional numerical data sets. In this paper, we generalize this scheme and perform a number of code tests to fully calibrate its behavior in black-hole spacetimes similar to those we expect to encounter in solving the binary black-hole coalescence problem. An important aspect of the generalization is that we can compute the symmetric trace-free tensor expansion to any order. This enables us to determine how far we must carry the expansion to achieve results of a desired accuracy. To accomplish this generalization, we describe a new and very convenient set of recurrence relations which apply to symmetric trace-free tensors.

Greenland ice sheet freshwater implementation in NorESM (Deliverable D5.8)
Creators: name: Chandler, David
name: Langebroek, Petra
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Earth system models are used for a wide variety of experiments aimed at understanding how different components (atmosphere, ocean, land, ice sheets, etc) interact with each other. These interactions can be studied under past, present and future climates. In particular, Earth system models forced by a range of plausible socioeconomic scenarios in the coming century form the basis of future climate projections within the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). There are many potentially important feedbacks between model components, depending on time scales and climate state. One such feedback is between ice sheets and climate: the climate influences the magnitude and distribution of freshwater fluxes discharged from ice sheets, while these freshwater fluxes in turn enter the ocean and influence ocean circulation and climate. Past studies have found both positive (self-amplifying) and negative (self-limiting) feedbacks related to ice sheet freshwater fluxes. Although Earth system models could be the ideal tool for quantifying these climate-ice sheet feedbacks, technical difficulties in the computational implementation of interactions (coupling) between an ice sheet and the rest of the Earth system have necessitated some important compromises in how ice sheets are represented. Detailed knowledge of this implementation is thus needed before designing related experiments. This deliverable describes how the Greenland Ice Sheet and its associated freshwater fluxes are represented within two versions of the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM2). In one version, both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are represented in the simplest way possible (effectively, as snow-covered mountains). This is the version used for the NorESM2 contribution to the latest CMIP phase (CMIP6). In the second version, the Greenland Ice Sheet is represented by a three-dimensional ice flow model that interacts with other model components, while the Antarctic Ice Sheet remains as a snow-covered mountain. This version is currently under development and is likely to participate in the upcoming CMIP7. We finally provide some examples of potentially important differences between the NorESM2 Greenland Ice Sheet and a real ice sheet.

description: Pressure ulcer incidence is high in intensive care units. This causes a serious financial burden to healthcare systems. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of multi-layered silicone foam dressings for prevention of sacral and heel pressure ulcers in addition to standard prevention in high-risk intensive care units patients. A randomised controlled trial to assess the efficacy of multi-layered silicone foam dressings to prevent the development of pressure ulcers on heels and sacrum among 422 intensive care unit patients was conducted. Direct costs for preventive dressings in the intervention group and costs for treatment of incident pressure ulcers in both groups were measured using a bottom-up approach. A cost-effectiveness analysis by calculating the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio using different assumptions was performed. Additional dressing and labour costs of €150.81 (€116.45 heels; €34.36 sacrum) per patient occurred in the intervention group. Treatment costs were €569.49 in the control group and €134.88 in the intervention group. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was €1945.30 per PU avoided (€8144.72 on heels; €701.54 sacrum) in the intervention group. We conclude that application of preventive dressings is cost-effective for the sacral area, but only marginal on heels for critically ill patients.

We derive the general solution of the perturbed Einstein equations in explicit form for this class of models when the perturbations are in the super-horizon regime. As a by-product we obtain a new conserved quantity for long wavelength perturbations of a single scalar field at second order.

description: A set of coupled non-linear integral equations is derived for a class of models connected with the quantum group $U_q(\hat g)$ ($g$ simply laced Lie algebra), which are solvable using the Bethe Ansatz; these equations describe arbitrary excited states of a system with finite spatial length $L$. They generalize the Destri-De Vega equation for the Sine-Gordon/massive Thirring model to affine Toda field theory with imaginary coupling constant. As an application, the central charge and all the conformal weights of the UV conformal field theory are extracted in a straightforward manner. The quantum group truncation for $q$ at a root of unity is discussed in detail; in the UV limit we recover through this procedure the RCFTs with extended $W(g)$ conformal symmetry.

Selenium in geological samples : investing in a mathematical mystery

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Investigations into the environmental fate and effect of anthropogenic sources of selenium in the water and sediment downstream of some mining areas are ongoing. Complimentary investigations into the sources and mechanisms of selenium release from the host geology are also underway. The existing geochemical data for selenium concentration in rock samples has a reported analytical variability of between 6% and 135% (of the sample mean, 95% confidence limits). The difficulties and implications of utilizing data with this level of variability, to interpret and quantify mechanisms of selenium leaching, are discussed. Many authors subscribe primarily to a sulfate-oxidation release mechanism, as selenium is known to substitute for a variable portion of the sulfur within a rock matrix. No data has been reported that fully supports this hypothesis. Data that would support competing or alternative sources and mechanisms of selenium release are discussed. The industry is currently collecting thousands of selenium samples for each environmental assessment, even though there are no protocols on how and where geological samples should be collected, stored or on how the data should be interpreted. A collaborative research program to develop new analytical techniques, to aid in resolution of this situation, is introduced.

description: Hispanics are the fastest-growing minority group in the United States, but they are the most underserved population in terms of access to online health information. The specific aims of this descriptive, correlational study were to examine factors associated with online health information seeking behaviors of Hispanics and to examine the association between online health information seeking behaviors and health behaviors. The study sample (n=4,070) was recruited from five zip codes in the Washington Heights/Inwood community of New York City for the Washington Heights Inwood Informatics Infrastructure for Comparative Effectiveness Research project. Survey data were collected via interview by bilingual community health workers in three settings: a community center affiliated with Columbia University, households and other community settings, and New York-Presbyterian Ambulatory Care Network clinics.  Data were analyzed using logistic and linear regressions. In regards to survey respondents' situational, sociodemographic, and literacy factors (health literacy, computer literacy) associated with their online health information seeking behaviors and those of their household members, the study found that that worse health status (OR=0.42, p<0.001), lack of hypertension (OR=0.60, p<0.01), a high level of education (OR=3.04, p<0.001), and computer literacy (OR=3.78, p < 0.001) were positively associated with respondents online health information seeking behaviors. Health literacy was only positively associated (OR=2.13, p<0.001) in a subsample of respondents (n=2,680) in which it was measured by one item related to understanding written health information. Respondents' factors significantly associated with online health information seeking by household members were: female gender (OR=1.60, p<0.01), younger age (OR=0.75, p<0.01), married (OR=1.36, p<0.01), higher education (OR=1.80, p<0.001), higher computer literacy (OR=2.24, p<0.001), in worse health status (OR=0.592, p<0.001), and presence of serious health problems (OR=1.83, p<0.01). Controlling for factors found to be significant in Aim 1, respondents' online health information seeking behaviors were hypothesized to be positively associated with fruit consumption, vegetable consumption, physical activity, and hypertension medication adherence and negatively associated with alcohol consumption. Hypotheses related to fruit consumption (p<0.05), vegetable consumption (p<0.05), and physical activity (p<0.01) were supported. This study contributes to the understanding of Hispanics' online health information seeking behaviors and provides the foundation for informatics and public health interventions.

description: The burdens caused by chronic wounds on the affected persons themselves and also on the health care system are well recognised. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of chronic wounds in German nursing homes. An annual cross-sectional study was conducted in nursing home residents from 2012 to 2018. The proportion of men affected by chronic wounds was to some extent higher than that of women, 9.0% males vs 7.5% females. In total, 7.8% of all residents were affected by chronic wounds. Of all residents with a chronic wound, 50.5% were affected by pressure ulcer. Male residents were twice as often affected by diabetic foot ulcer than female residents (18.0% vs 8.9%; P = 0.002). Bivariate analysis showed that chronic wounds were highly associated with poor nutrition, urinary incontinence, stool incontinence, diabetes mellitus, and limited mobility (P = 0.000). According to multivariate analysis, the strongest predictors for chronic wounds were limited mobility and diabetes mellitus. The highest prevalence of chronic wounds was in residents who were not restricted in their mobility, had diabetes, were male, and lived in a metropolitan region (23.7%). This study identified the prevalence and risk factors of chronic wounds in nursing home residents. Further research is needed to identify causal factors of the gender difference in the prevalence of chronic wounds. This may have an impact on the choice of prophylactic and therapeutic measures.

description: We investigate the depinning transition for driven interfaces in the random-field Ising model for various dimensions. We consider the order parameter as a function of the control parameter (driving field) and examine the effect of thermal fluctuations. Although thermal fluctuations drive the system away from criticality the order parameter obeys a certain scaling law for sufficiently low temperatures and the corresponding exponents are determined. Our results suggest that the so-called upper critical dimension of the depinning transition is five and that the systems belongs to the universality class of the quenched Edward-Wilkinson equation.

description: Examples of (strongly continuous) one-parameter groups of automorphisms of UHF C*-algebras are given. One example has the property that the infinitesimal generator does not have a union of finite-dimensional subalgebras as a core. (This solves the so-called core problem, raised by S. Sakai, in the negative.) The other has the property of not being classical or commutative, i.e., the one-parameter group is not just an inner perturbation of a one-parameter group which has an increasing sequence of invariant finite-dimensional subalgebras with dense union. (This was certainly expected but has not been proven explicitly.)

description: Based on three reanalysis datasets—ERA-Interim, NCAR–NCEP and JRA-55—the classification of 25 commonly used indexes of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) was investigated. The physical nature of two categories of monsoon index, together with their circulation pattern, climate anomalies, and driving factors, were investigated. Results suggest that the selected 25 monsoon indexes can be classified into two typical categories (Category I and II), which are dominated by interannual and decadal variabilities of the EASM, respectively. The anomalous circulation patterns and summer rainfall patterns related to the two categories of index also exhibit evident differences. Category I is closely linked to the low-latitude circulation system and the anomalous circulation pattern is a typical East Asia–Pacific teleconnection pattern. The summer rainfall anomaly exhibits a typical tripole pattern. However, Category II mainly reflects the impacts of the middle–high latitude circulation system on the summer monsoon and is closely linked to a typical Eurasian teleconnection pattern, which corresponds to a dipole of summer rainfall anomalies. Further analysis suggests that the underlying thermal driving factors of the two categories of monsoon are distinct. The main driving factors of Category I are the tropical sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs), especially ENSO-related SSTAs in the preceding winter and summer SSTAs in the tropical Indian Ocean. The winter signal of Category II summer monsoon anomalous activity mainly originates from the polar region and the middle and high latitudes of the Eurasian continent. Category II monsoon activity is also associated with summer SSTAs in the equatorial central Pacific.

description: We study a coderivation from a cobimodule into a coalgebra. Vector cofields are defined by the action of a codual bicomodule on a coalgebra. This action is induced by a codifferential. A construction of a codual object in the category of bicomodules over a given coalgebra has been proposed. Various notions of duality have been analysed in this context.

description: In this paper we describe the matter-free toroidal spacetime in 't Hooft's polygon approach to 2+1-dimensional gravity (i.e. we consider the case without any particles present). Contrary to earlier results in the literature we find that it is not possible to describe the torus by just one polygon but we need at least two polygons. We also show that the constraint algebra of the polygons closes.

Understanding the impact of Lumbar Disc Degeneration (LDD) and recurrent pain
Creators: name: Deane, Janet Alicia
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Introduction: Some people with Lumbar Disc Degeneration (LDD) experience recurrent low back pain (LBP) and others do not and it is unclear why. This thesis investigates the biomechanical differences between those with LDD and LBP and those without through the examination of intrinsic lumbar spine shape, postural adjustments and kinematic strategies. Methods: Patients and healthy controls were recruited and consented to our cross-sectional cohort (ethical approval reference13/LO/0793). T2 weighted images (L1-S1, 3T MRI) were acquired and groups identified based upon LDD grade (Modified Pfirrmann grading) and the presence of LBP. Intrinsic lumbar spine shape was investigated using Statistical Shape Modelling (SSM). Postural and kinematic strategies were examined during gait, sit-to-stand and bespoke perturbation tasks using surface electromyography (eight bilateral trunk and lower limb muscles) and a novel marker set, the ‘Imperial Spine’ (three segmented spine and bilateral lower limbs). Participant pain (NRS), depression and anxiety (HADS), quality of life (SF-36), disability (ODI) and total STarT Back scores (SBT) were recorded. Results: Intrinsic lumbar shape was significantly different between groups; the ‘LDD pain’ group had larger antero-posterior vertebral diameters (p=0.05) and a more even lumbar curvature with smaller L5/S1 intervertebral disc spaces (p=0.01) than the ‘no LDD no pain’ group. Significant differences in postural and kinematic strategy were observed between ‘LDD pain’ and ‘LDD no pain’ groups, particularly during the postural perturbation task (p=0.049-0.001). Depression, anxiety, disability and SBT scores were significantly higher and quality of life lower for the ‘LDD pain’ group when compared with the ‘LDD no pain’ group (p≤0.0001). Conclusions: This study provides new evidence that intrinsic lumbar shape is associated with LDD and LBP in adults. People with LDD and LBP use different postural and kinematic strategies and have different psychosocial profiles to those without LBP. Future management will need to reflect these biomechanical and psychosocial components.

Fokker-Planck equations for time-delayed systems via Markovian Embedding

description: For stochastic systems with discrete time delay, the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) of the one-time probability density function (PDF) does not provide a complete, self-contained probabilistic description. It explicitly involves the two-time PDF, and represents, in fact, only the first member of an infinite hierarchy. We here introduce a new approach to obtain a Fokker-Planck description by using a Markovian embedding technique and a subsequent limiting procedure. On this way, we find a closed, complete FPE in an infinite-dimensional space, from which one can derive a hierarchy of FPEs. While the first member is the well-known FPE for the one-time PDF, we obtain, as second member, a new representation of the equation for the two-time PDF. From a conceptual point of view, our approach is simpler than earlier derivations and it yields interesting insight into both, the physical meaning, and the mathematical structure of delayed processes. We further propose an approximation for the two-time PDF, which is a central quantity in the description of these non-Markovian systems as it directly gives the correlation between the present and the delayed state. Application to a prototypical bistable system reveals that this approximation captures the non-trivial effects induced by the delay remarkably well, despite its surprisingly simple form. Moreover, it outperforms earlier approaches for the one-time PDF in the regime of large delays.

description: An explicit, detailed evaluation of the classical continuum limit of the axial anomaly/index density of the overlap Dirac operator is carried out in the infinite volume setting, and in a certain finite volume setting where the continuum limit involves an infinite volume limit. Our approach is based on a novel power series expansion of the overlap Dirac operator. The correct continuum expression is reproduced when the parameter $m_0$ is in the physical region $0

description: Primary aim of this study was to determine the extent and type of self-reported interpersonal problems in patients with non-affective psychoses and their impact on psychosocial functioning. Furthermore, we aimed to explore potential links with the psychodynamic construct of Stavros Mentzos' "psychotic dilemma", which describes an insufferable inner tension caused by an individual's struggle of being torn between "self-oriented" and "object-oriented" tendencies. In a cross-sectional study among 129 patients with non-affective psychoses, measures of cognition, symptom load and social functioning as well as a tentative, psychodynamic assessment of Mentzos' "dilemma" were obtained during a clinical research visit. Self-report data on interpersonal problems were gathered using the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-64D) and compared with a German representative standard sample. Second, IIP-64D scores were compared between groups with or without Mentzos' "dilemma". Hierarchical regression analyses were performed to test for the impact of interpersonal problems on psychosocial functioning, while controlling for cognitive deficits and psychopathology. Results showed that IIP-64D scores differed significantly from healthy controls, except for "self-centred" and "intrusive" interpersonal styles. Participants with a potential "psychotic dilemma" scored significantly higher on the subscales: "domineering", "self-centred", "cold", and "socially avoidant" than the group without a "psychotic dilemma". The total amount of interpersonal problems, and particularly high scores on the IIP-64D "socially avoidant" subscale, predicted psychosocial dysfunction, whereas a "cold" interpersonal style had an opposite effect. In conclusion, specific interpersonal problems may predict psychotherapeutic outcome measures like psychosocial functioning and are partly compatible with the psychodynamic construct of Stavros Mentzos' "psychotic dilemma".
Looking for $B\rightarrow X_s \ell^+\ell^-$ in non-minimal Universal Extra Dimensional model

description: Non-vanishing boundary localised terms significantly modify the mass spectrum and various interactions among the Kaluza-Klein excited states of 5-Dimensional Universal Extra Dimensional scenario. In this scenario we compute the contributions of Kaluza-Klein excitations of gauge bosons and third generation quarks for the decay process $B\rightarrow X_s\ell^+\ell^-$ incorporating next-to-leading order QCD corrections. We estimate branching ratio as well as Forward Backward asymmetry associated with this decay process. Considering the constraints from some other $b \to s$ observables and electroweak precision data we show that significant amount of parameter space of this scenario has been able to explain the observed experimental data for this decay process. From our analysis we put lower limit on the size of the extra dimension by comparing our theoretical prediction for branching ratio with the corresponding experimental data. Depending on the values of free parameters of the present scenario, lower limit on the inverse of the radius of compactification ($R^{-1}$) can be as high as $\geq 760$ GeV. {Even this value could slightly be higher if we project the upcoming measurement by Belle II experiment.} Unfortunately, the Forward Backward asymmetry of this decay process would not provide any significant limit on $R^{-1}$ in the present model.

description: Introduction: The most commonly used treatment for advanced colorectal adenomas is endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR). The increased number of EMRs since the introduction of the screening program for colorectal cancer has resulted in an increase in EMR-related complications. This review summarizes the current knowledge for the use of clips for the treatment and prevention of complications after EMR. Areas covered: The historical development of clips is summarized and their properties are evaluated. An overview is presented of the evidence for therapeutic and prophylactic clipping for bleeding or perforation after EMR in the colon. Several clipping techniques are discussed in relation to the efficacy of wound closure. Furthermore, new techniques that will likely influence the use of clips in the future endoscopic practice, such as endoscopic full-thickness resection (eFTR) are also highlighted. Expert commentary: Most research focuses on prophylactic clipping for delayed bleeding after EMR of large adenomas. We advocate a distance of 0.5–1.0 cm between aligning clips. This focus may likely shift from bleeding to perforation. Here, endoscopic treatment with through-the-scope clips and large-diameter clips may well replace surgery. The future role of clips will also depend on the further development of new endoscopic technologies, such as eFTR.
