An investigation of the clinical relationship between foot posture and patellofemoral joint alignment
Creators: name: Curran, Sarah
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Public health not elsewhere classified

description: It has been suggested that abnormal foot posture is related to patellofemoral joint pain. An understanding of the relationship hinges on assessment of the relationship between the two, but whilst satisfactory (reliable and valid) clinical methods of foot posture exist, there is no consensus on the optimal technique for assessing patellofemoral joint alignment. Therefore, a series of studies were performed to examine standardisation, reliability, validity and functional significance of patellofemoral joint alignment measures (Q, modified A, tibiofemoral joint and tubercle sulcus angles). Intraclass correlation coefficients of all measures was fair-to-excellent (standard error of measurement <2o), whilst each measure showed significant differences (p<0.001) in selected foot positions and postures (i.e. 10o abduction, maximally pronated). A cross-sectional study then investigated normal values for these measures in 335 asymptomatic individuals. The Foot Posture IndexÂ© was used to categorise participants into pronated (n=110), neutral (n=111) and supinated (n=114) groups. All patellofemoral joint measures differed significantly between pronated and supinated foot postures, with values tending to increase with pronation. This data was used to categorise 60 asyrmptomatic individuals into three patellofemoral joint alignment groups (high, central and low, n=20 per group), and a group of patellofemoral joint pain patients was also included. Rearfoot and midfoot loading characteristics were obtained using the EMEDÂ® -m system. Comparisons between groups showed significant differences, with high and patellofemoral joint pain groups demonstrating slower and reduced loading at the rear and midfoot compared to central and low groups (p<0.001). Whilst further inquiry is required this data suggests that foot posture, functional foot loading characteristics and patellofemoral joint alignment are related. Differences in loading characteristics suggest a mechanism by which patellofemoral joint alignment and foot posture may be related to pathology. This provides a rationale for clinical interventions aimed at modifying foot and/or patellofemoral joint alignment

description: We revisit the cosmological and astrophysical constraints on the fraction of the dark matter in primordial black holes (PBHs) with an extended mass function. We consider a variety of mass functions, all of which are described by three parameters: a characteristic mass and width and a dark matter fraction. Various observations then impose constraints on the dark matter fraction as a function of the first two parameters. We show how these constraints relate to those for a monochromatic mass function, demonstrating that they usually become more stringent in the extended case than the monochromatic one. Considering only the well-established bounds, and neglecting the ones that depend on additional astrophysical assumptions, we find that there are three mass windows, around $4\times 10^{-17}M_\odot,$ $2\times 10^{-14}M_\odot$ and $25-100M_\odot$, where PBHs can constitute all dark matter. However, if one includes all the bounds, PBHs can only constitute of order $10\%$ of the dark matter.

William Burtons 1642 Revised Edition of The Description of Leicestershire

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 50, 30-36
description: In 1597, at the age of twenty-two, shortly after entering the Inner Temple, William Burton of Lindley, Leicestershire, began an historical and topographical survey of his native country . He considered this project to be an eminently suitable pastime for a young barrister; he was to write many years later " ... there is no study or learning so fit or necessary for a lawyer as the study of Antiquities". When ill health cut short his legal career and forced Burton into premature retirement, his youthful hobby became his chief preoccupation. It took the form of one of the earliest county histories, which with great reluctance on the author's part only overcome by the prompting and encouragement of his large circle of friends, finally appeared in print, and indeed in English, on 20 October 1622 under the title of The Description of Leicestershire containing matters of Antiquity, History, Armoury and Genealogy.

description: Quantum simulation promises to have wide applications in many fields where problems are hard to model with classical computers. Various quantum devices of different platforms have been built to tackle the problems in, say, quantum chemistry, condensed matter physics, and high-energy physics. Here, we report an experiment towards the simulation of quantum gravity by simulating the holographic entanglement entropy. On a six-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum simulator, we demonstrate a key result of Anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory(\adscft) correspondence---the Ryu-Takayanagi formula is demonstrated by measuring the relevant entanglement entropies on the perfect tensor state. The fidelity of our experimentally prepared the six-qubit state is 85.0\% via full state tomography and reaches 93.7\% if the signal-decay due to decoherence is taken into account. Our experiment serves as the basic module of simulating more complex tensor network states that exploring \adscft correspondence. As the initial experimental attempt to study \adscft via quantum information processing, our work opens up new avenues exploring quantum gravity phenomena on quantum simulators.

description: During the reign of Henry II the doctrine of national security was stringently applied to fortifications with the king asserting his right to occupy private castles in the interests of peace and stability. Roger of Howden records that in 1176 Henry "took every castle in England into his hand and removing the castellans of the earls and the barons, put in his own custodians". Some were eventually returned to their owners, many others were not. This policy, continued by his successors, had the ultimate effect of greatly diminishing the number of castles in private hands. The castles of Leicestershire present a good example of this process of erosion.

description: Given a non-associative unital ring $R$, a monoid $G$ and a set $π$ of additive maps $R \rightarrow R$, we introduce the Ore monoid ring $R[π; G]$, and, in a special case, the differential monoid ring. We show that these structures generalize, in a natural way, not only the classical Ore extensions and differential polynomial rings, but also the constructions, introduced by Cojuhari, defined by so-called $D$-structures $π$. Moreover, for commutative monoids, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for differential monoid rings to be simple. We use this in a special case to obtain new and shorter proofs of classical simplicity results for differential polynomial rings in several variables previously obtained by Voskoglou and Malm by other means. We also give examples of new Ore-like structures defined by finite commutative monoids.

description: A medieval battle was the most transient of events, armies converged, confronted one another, fought and either died or departed. Their effects upon the landscape were obliterated within the seasonal cycle though the occasion often lingered on in local folk memory. Bosworth Field was no exception, fought almost by chance on an area of marsh and waste in western Leicestershire 'mete for twoo battales to encountre' lying south of Market Bosworth between the villages of Shenton, Sutton Cheney, Dadlington and Stoke Golding. Yet the consequences of that fierce engagement were by no means transient for it heralded a period of one hundred and eighteen years of Tudor monarchy. The historical significance of the Battle lies somewhere between these extremes of event and consequence.

description: A recent result of M. Kourganoff states that if $D$ is a closed, reducible, non-flat, Weyl connection on a compact conformal manifold $M$, then the universal covering of $M$, endowed with the metric whose Levi-Civita covariant derivative is the pull-back of $D$, is isometric to $\mathbb{R}^q\times N$ for some irreducible, incomplete Riemannian manifold $N$. Moreover, he characterized the case where the dimension of $N$ is $2$ by showing that $M$ is then a mapping torus of some Anosov diffeomorphism of $T^{q+1}$. We show that in this case one necessarily has $q=1$ or $q=2$.

description: Cette recherche explore la manière dont les discours médiatiques représentent les violences à caractère sexuel contre les femmes lorsqu’elles sont commises par des athlètes masculins, et comment les structures de pouvoir sont maintenues (ou non). En utilisant un cadre théorique féministe inspiré de l’intersectionnalité et une méthodologie d’analyse féministe critique du discours, cette recherche examine à qui, et comment, les discours médiatiques attribuent la responsabilité des violences à caractère sexuel commises par les athlètes masculins. Elle vise également à comprendre le rôle que jouent les positions sociales des athlètes (agresseurs) et des survivantes dans la représentation des violences à caractère sexuel dans les médias. De plus, à travers l’analyse de 273 articles de journaux provenant de 6 grands journaux canadiens, cette recherche explore la relation entre les discours médiatiques, les mythes de la violence sexuelle et la culture du viol dans les articles traitant des violences à caractère sexuel commises par des athlètes masculins. Enfin, ayant recueilli des données sur deux périodes différentes, l’une avant le mouvement #MeToo (2014-2016) et l’autre après (2018-2019), cette étude propose une comparaison de la représentation des violences à caractère sexuel dans les discours médiatiques avant et après le mouvement #MeToo, afin d’analyser si le mouvement a eu un impact sur les manières de rendre compte des violences à caractère sexuel commises par les athlètes masculins. D’une part, les résultats indiquent que les survivantes sont rarement évoquées dans les médias et, si elles le sont, c’est pour remettre en question leur niveau de responsabilité vis-à-vis de l’acte de violence à caractère sexuel ou pour contester leur crédibilité. D’autre part, les médias se concentrent largement sur l’agresseur en louant ses prouesses sportives, en rappelant son statut de célébrité et en évoquant les conséquences des accusations sur sa carrière et son entourage. Aucune différence significative n’a été constatée entre l’avant et l’après-#MeToo sur la manière dont les médias rendent compte des violences à caractère sexuel commises par des athlètes masculins. L’objectif principal de cette recherche est de servir d’outil aux médias afin qu’ils soient davantage axés sur les survivantes lorsqu’ils traitent des violences à caractère sexuel commises par des athlètes masculins.

description: Graph-based methods have been quite successful in solving unsupervised and semi-supervised learning problems, as they provide a means to capture the underlying geometry of the dataset. It is often desirable for the constructed graph to satisfy two properties: first, data points that are similar in the feature space should be strongly connected on the graph, and second, the class label information should vary smoothly with respect to the graph, where smoothness is measured using the spectral properties of the graph Laplacian matrix. Recent works have justified some of these smoothness conditions by showing that they are strongly linked to the semi-supervised smoothness assumption and its variants. In this work, we reinforce this connection by viewing the problem from a graph sampling theoretic perspective, where class indicator functions are treated as bandlimited graph signals (in the eigenvector basis of the graph Laplacian) and label prediction as a bandlimited reconstruction problem. Our approach involves analyzing the bandwidth of class indicator signals generated from statistical data models with separable and nonseparable classes. These models are quite general and mimic the nature of most real-world datasets. Our results show that in the asymptotic limit, the bandwidth of any class indicator is also closely related to the geometry of the dataset. This allows one to theoretically justify the assumption of bandlimitedness of class indicator signals, thereby providing a sampling theoretic interpretation of graph-based semi-supervised classification.

description: Consider a normal Ornstein--Uhlenbeck semigroup in $\Bbb{R}^n$, whose covariance is given by a positive definite matrix. The drift matrix is assumed to have eigenvalues only in the left half-plane. We prove that the associated maximal operator is of weak type $(1,1)$ with respect to the invariant measure. This extends earlier work by G. Mauceri and L. Noselli. The proof goes via the special case where the matrix defining the covariance is $I$ and the drift matrix is diagonal.

A Characterization of Circle Graphs in Terms of Multimatroid Representations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The isotropic matroid $M[IAS(G)]$ of a looped simple graph $G$ is a binary matroid equivalent to the isotropic system of $G$. In general, $M[IAS(G)]$ is not regular, so it cannot be represented over fields of characteristic $\neq 2$. The ground set of $M[IAS(G)]$ is denoted $W(G)$; it is partitioned into 3-element subsets corresponding to the vertices of $G$. When the rank function of $M[IAS(G)]$ is restricted to subtransversals of this partition, the resulting structure is a multimatroid denoted $\mathcal{Z}_{3}(G)$. In this paper we prove that $G$ is a circle graph if and only if for every field $\mathbb{F}$, there is an $\mathbb{F}$-representable matroid with ground set $W(G)$, which defines $\mathcal{Z}_{3}(G)$ by restriction. We connect this characterization with several other circle graph characterizations that have appeared in the literature.

description: Despite the development of therapeutic interventions to prevent mortality following myocardial infarction (MI), there is a significant long-term risk of developing heart failure (HF). Injectable collagen hydrogels have demonstrated considerable promise as a therapeutic solution to reduce adverse ventricle remodeling associated with the development of HF post-MI. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes involved in the degradation of the structural components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The activation of MMPs following MI is an essential step in the cardiac repair process. However, uncontrolled enzymatic activity during this time has been associated with the formation of adverse fibrosis. Given the role of the proteases in tissue remodeling, MMPs may be a potential biomarker to predict the development of HF. This thesis work seeks to examine the effect of a novel hydrogel matrix therapy on cardiac tissue post-MI using broad-spectrum MMP-targeted radiotracer, [18F]BR3531. In Study 1, serial positron emission tomography (PET) imaging was performed to elucidate the spatial and temporal binding of [18F]BR351 post-MI using a murine model. Imaging was performed by administering [18F]BR351 at time points corresponding with periods of peak MMP activation post-MI. In vivo PET imaging and in vitro autoradiography demonstrated decreased [18F]BR351 binding in the infarct region. In Study 2, the model was used to evaluate the efficacy of a therapeutic collagen hydrogel to attenuate tissue remodeling. The groups that received the matrix treatment exhibited improved [18F]BR351 uptake in the infarct region. However, conflicting results between in vivo imaging and in vitro autoradiography, and immunohistochemistry using MMP2 and MMP9 indicate that [18F]BR351 may not be suited for MMP imaging in mouse models of MI.

description: Syntactic parsing is a key task in natural language processing. This task has been dominated by symbolic, grammar-based parsers. Neural networks, with their distributed representations, are challenging these methods. In this article we show that existing symbolic parsing algorithms can cross the border and be entirely formulated over distributed representations. To this end we introduce a version of the traditional Cocke-Younger-Kasami (CYK) algorithm, called D-CYK, which is entirely defined over distributed representations. Our D-CYK uses matrix multiplication on real number matrices of size independent of the length of the input string. These operations are compatible with traditional neural networks. Experiments show that our D-CYK approximates the original CYK algorithm. By showing that CYK can be entirely performed on distributed representations, we open the way to the definition of recurrent layers of CYK-informed neural networks.

description: The Bounded Height Conjecture of Bombieri, Masser, and Zannier states that for any sufficiently generic algebraic subvariety of a semiabelian $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$-variety $G$ there is an upper bound on the Weil height of the points contained in its intersection with the union of all algebraic subgroups having (at most) complementary dimension in $G$. This conjecture has been shown by Habegger in the case where $G$ is either a multiplicative torus or an abelian variety. However, there are new obstructions to his approach if $G$ is a general semiabelian variety. In particular, the lack of Poincaré reducibility means that quotients of a given semiabelian variety are intricate to describe. To overcome this, we study directly certain families of line bundles on $G$. This allows us to demonstrate the conjecture for general semiabelian varieties.

Athletes from two team sports from the third German league (ice hockey: n = 16; soccer: n = 23), and one individual sports (diving: n = 11) were included. These athletes were investigated using posturography under different conditions (e.g., stable surface, unstable surface; eyes open, eyes closed) to determine postural stability and regulation. Most of the performance maxima were found among the divers (6), followed by ice hockey (5) and soccer (4). The biggest effect of sport was found in the stability indicator, where the subject was standing on a stable surface and their eyes were closed (NC; p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.273). This significance was observed between the soccer (17.3 ± 5.66) and diving (24.9 ± 6.98) subjects. The stability indicator had the largest significant effect (50%, 2/4). These results provide coaches and athletes insight into the postural stability and regulation of male athletes in sports with different demands on postural control. Especially for soccer players, it may be beneficial to address muscular imbalances to reduce the risk of lower extremity injuries.

description: We introduce and study skew product Smale endomorphisms over finitely irreducible topological Markov shifts with countable alphabets. We prove that almost all conditional measures of equilibrium states of summable and locally Holder continuous potentials are dimensionally exact, and that their dimension is equal to the ratio of the (global) entropy and the Lyapunov exponent. We also prove for them a formula of Bowen type for the Hausdorff dimension of all fibers. We develop a version of thermodynamic formalism for finitely irreducible two-sided topological Markov shifts with countable alphabets. We describe then the thermodynamic formalism for Smale skew products over countable-to-1 endomorphisms, and give several applications to measures on natural extensions of endomorphisms. We show that the exact dimensionality of conditional measures on fibers, implies the global exact dimensionality of the measure, in certain cases. We then study equilibrium states for skew products over endomorphisms generated by graph directed Markov systems, in particular for skew products over expanding Markov-Renyi(EMR) maps, and we settle the question of the exact dimensionality of such measures. In particular, this applies to skew products over the continued fractions transformation, and over parabolic maps. We prove next two results related to Diophantine approximation, which make the renowned Doeblin-Lenstra Conjecture more general and more precise, for a different class of measures than in the classical case. In the end, we prove exact dimensionality and find a computable formula for the dimension of equilibrium measures, for induced maps of natural extensions $\mathcal T_β$ of beta-maps, for arbitrary β> 1.

description: We investigate an optimization problem governed by an elliptic partial differential equation with uncertain parameters. We introduce a robust optimization framework that accounts for uncertain model parameters. The resulting non-linear optimization problem has a bi-level structure due to the min-max formulation. To approximate the worst-case in the optimization problem we propose linear and quadratic approximations. However, this approach still turns out to be very expensive, therefore we propose an adaptive model order reduction technique which avoids long offline stages and provides a certified reduced order surrogate model for the parametrized PDE which is then utilized in the numerical optimization. Numerical results are presented to validate the presented approach.

description: Land use/land cover change (LULCC) studies are gaining prominence among environmentalist and land use planners. This is due to the effects of LULCCs on natural ecosystems and livelihoods. In the coastal landscape of south-western Ghana, there exist knowledge gaps in the variations in size and intensities in LULCCs and the degree of change among land cover types in LULCC studies. Such studies are important for identifying periods of rapid land cover transitions and their implications on the landscape. Using change detection, intensity analysis and informal stakeholder conversations, the land use system dynamics of the study landscape was analyzed over a 34-year period to assess the variations in size and intensities in LULC transitions and its implications. The results showed a dynamic landscape driven primarily by rubber and settlement expansions. Rubber and settlement increased threefold (172.65%) and fourfold (449.93%) in the 34-year period mainly due to rubber outgrower scheme and onshore infrastructural developments, respectively. Gains in rubber and settlement targeted arable lands. The LULCC implies local food insecurity issues, declines in ecosystem services and compromised livelihoods, hence, the enforcement of the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act (2016) is recommended in land use planning in the coastal landscapes of south-western Ghana.
Immunodisregulation in chronic hepatitis C infection: the mechanisms of autoantibody production

description: Chronic hepatitis C virus infection produces several alterations of immunological reactivity which may contribute to the disease progression and influence response to antiviral therapy and development of hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study, which includes 117 patients and 20 healthy volunteers, the presence of autoantibodies and their correlation with the degree of liver damage, host response to viral antigens, response to interferon-Î± (IFN-Î±) therapy and virus genotype, as well as T cell phenotype, NK cell activity and relevant cytokines production were analysed. The main findings include a direct correlation between the number of autoantibodies tested and Knodell's Score of liver damage and a direct correlation between HCV core IgM production and presence of antimitochondrial antibodies. There was no significant difference in overall frequency of autoantibodies in HCV-PCR positive and negative groups of patients. However, antimitochondrial autoantibodies as well as HCV-core IgM were associated with presence of HCV in the serum and non-responsiveness to IFN-Î± therapy. Geno (sero) type 4 was dominant in the analysed group of patients and, again, the presence of IgM to core antigens and antimitochondrial antibodies correlated with non-responsiveness to IFN-Î± in this subgroup. Further, non-responsiveness to IFN-Î±, therapy correlated with higher interferon-Î³ (IFN-Î³) and transforming growth factor-Î² (TGF-Î²) production, higher percentage of CD25+ cells and lower NK cell cytotoxic activity in vitro. Taken together the data obtained demonstrate that the viral genotype and immune response of the host define the outcome of hepatitis C virus infection and response to IFN-Î± therapy. They suggest for the first time that antimitochondrial autoantibodies may be surrogate parameter of virus persistence and support the notion that cytokine interplay, in particular, with TGF-Î² production and the activity of putative -regulatory CD25+ cells may influence the natural history of HCV infection and response to antiviral therapy.

description: Weighting methods are widely used to adjust for covariates in observational studies, sample surveys, and regression settings. In this paper, we study a class of recently proposed weighting methods which find the weights of minimum dispersion that approximately balance the covariates. We call these weights "minimal weights" and study them under a common optimization framework. The key observation is the connection between approximate covariate balance and shrinkage estimation of the propensity score. This connection leads to both theoretical and practical developments. From a theoretical standpoint, we characterize the asymptotic properties of minimal weights and show that, under standard smoothness conditions on the propensity score function, minimal weights are consistent estimates of the true inverse probability weights. Also, we show that the resulting weighting estimator is consistent, asymptotically normal, and semiparametrically efficient. From a practical standpoint, we present a finite sample oracle inequality that bounds the loss incurred by balancing more functions of the covariates than strictly needed. This inequality shows that minimal weights implicitly bound the number of active covariate balance constraints. We finally provide a tuning algorithm for choosing the degree of approximate balance in minimal weights. We conclude the paper with four empirical studies that suggest approximate balance is preferable to exact balance, especially when there is limited overlap in covariate distributions. In these studies, we show that the root mean squared error of the weighting estimator can be reduced by as much as a half with approximate balance.

description: A fundamental question in neuroscience is how structure and function of neural systems are related. We study this interplay by combining a familiar auto-associative neural network with an evolving mechanism for the birth and death of synapses. A feedback loop then arises leading to two qualitatively different types of behaviour. In one, the network structure becomes heterogeneous and dissasortative, and the system displays good memory performance; furthermore, the structure is optimised for the particular memory patterns stored during the process. In the other, the structure remains homogeneous and incapable of pattern retrieval. These findings provide an inspiring picture of brain structure and dynamics, are compatible with experimental results on early brain development, and may help to explain synaptic pruning. Other evolving networks -- such as those of protein interaction -- might share the basic ingredients for this feedback loop and other questions, and indeed many of their structural features are as predicted by our model.
