description: The impact of extreme heat on health has received great attention for the increasing number of worldwide heat events. In New York City, most neighborhood-scale studies on heat-related vulnerability mainly examined the risk factors of seniors. This research aims to delve into the relationship between neighborhood characteristics (socio-demographic conditions, heat impact mitigation strategies, community resources, and health risk characteristics) and the heat-vulnerability of economically deprived population, particularly with below or at 30 percent of the Area Median Income, who has manifested symptoms of weakness to heat in New York City. As a measure of relative vulnerability to heat, the study used the difference between the number of cardiac arrests occurred during 2013 Heatwave, which is one of the most recent and the longest heat waves in the City’s historical data, and regular hot days within each Zip Code Tabulation Area. The results from the multiple linear regression analysis and Pearson’s correlation test revealed that the percent of single senior households and the number of public parks in the low-income neighborhoods are negatively associated with their heat emergencies. Significant positive relationships were found between the percent of Black population and the number of community centers in the low-income neighborhoods.

description: Frustrated magnets are known to support two-dimensional topological solitons, called skyrmions. A continuum model for frustrated magnets has recently been shown to support both two-dimensional skyrmions and three-dimensional knotted solitons (hopfions). In this note we derive lower bounds for the energies of these solitons expressed in terms of their topological invariants. The bounds are linear in the degree in the case of skyrmions and scale as the Hopf degree to the power 3/4 in the case of hopfions.

description: Stretched exponential distributions and relaxation responses are encountered in a wide range of physical systems such as glasses, polymers and spin glasses. As found recently, this type of behavior occurs also for the distribution function of certain trap time in a number of coupled dynamical systems. We analyze a one-dimensional mathematical model of coupled chaotic oscillators which reproduces an experimental set-up of coupled diode-resonators and identify the necessary ingredients for stretched exponential distributions.

description: In this work, we show how Gibbs or thermal states appear dynamically in closed quantum many-body systems, building on the program of dynamical typicality. We introduce a novel perturbation theorem for physically relevant weak system- bath couplings that is applicable even in the thermodynamic limit. We identify conditions under which thermalization happens and discuss the underlying physics. Based on these results, we also present a fully general quantum algorithm for preparing Gibbs states on a quantum computer with a certified runtime and error bound. This complements quantum Metropolis algorithms, which are expected to be efficient but have no known runtime estimates and only work for local Hamiltonians.

description: We discuss a novel approach for directional, light dark matter searches inspired by the high precision position measurements achieved in gravitational wave detectors. If dark matter interacts with ordinary matter, movable masses are subject to an effect similar to Brownian motion induced by the scattering with dark matter particles which exhibits certain characteristics and could be observed. We provide estimates for the sensitivity of a hypothetical experiment looking for that motion. Interestingly, if successful, our approach would allow to constrain the local distribution of dark matter momentum.

description: We investigate the structure of the elliptic algebra U_{q,p}(^sl_2) introduced earlier by one of the authors. Our construction is based on a new set of generating series in the quantum affine algebra U_q(^sl_2), which are elliptic analogs of the Drinfeld currents. They enable us to identify U_{q,p}(^sl_2) with the tensor product of U_q(^sl_2) and a Heisenberg algebra generated by P,Q with [Q,P]=1. In terms of these currents, we construct an L operator satisfying the dynamical RLL relation in the presence of the central element c. The vertex operators of Lukyanov and Pugai arise as `intertwiners' of U_{q,p}(^sl_2) for level one representation, in the sense to be elaborated on in the text. We also present vertex operators with higher level/spin in the free field representation.

description: This paper explores the relationship between happiness and inequality. It does so firstly through an analysis of how "classical" authors of political economy and philosophy have linked these two issues. Secondly, major findings of "happiness economics" are discussed in the context of new insights about how happiness is influenced by inequality. This paper also addresses whether these findings provide any substantial arguments for combatting inequality on the grounds of promoting "happiness". It will be seen that although some empirical research shows that the prevalent levels of inequality influence happiness in society, the main argument in favor of tackling inequality for the sake of happiness is normative. In this interpretation, happiness is closely related to John Stuart Mill's neo-Aristotelian idea of "self-fulfillment" and less so to the neo-Benthamite notion of "hedonic pleasure". In the wake of an ever greater emphasis on analyzing people’s "subjective well-being" within national statistics, this has political implications as it calls for the importance of allowing free and broad discussions on the "fairness" of the prevailing political systems as an important prerequisite to promote happiness – and combat inequality.

description: Real-time Deep Neural Network (DNN) inference with low-latency requirement has become increasingly important for numerous applications in both cloud computing (e.g., Apple's Siri) and edge computing (e.g., Google/Waymo's driverless car). FPGA-based DNN accelerators have demonstrated both superior flexibility and performance; in addition, for real-time inference with low batch size, FPGA is expected to achieve further performance improvement. However, the performance gain from the single-FPGA design is obstructed by the limited on-chip resource. In this paper, we employ multiple FPGAs to cooperatively run DNNs with the objective of achieving super-linear speed-up against single-FPGA design. In implementing such systems, we found two barriers that hinder us from achieving the design goal: (1) the lack of a clear partition scheme for each DNN layer to fully exploit parallelism, and (2) the insufficient bandwidth between the off-chip memory and the accelerator due to the growing size of DNNs. To tackle these issues, we propose a general framework, "Super-LIP", which can support different kinds of DNNs. In this paper, we take Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) as a vehicle to illustrate Super-LIP. We first formulate an accurate system-level model to support the exploration of best partition schemes. Then, we develop a novel design methodology to effectively alleviate the heavy loads on memory bandwidth by moving traffic from memory bus to inter-FPGA links. We implement Super-LIP based on ZCU102 FPGA boards. Results demonstrate that Super-LIP with 2 FPGAs can achieve 3.48x speedup, compared to the state-of-the-art single-FPGA design. What is more, as the number of FPGAs scales up, the system latency can be further reduced while maintaining high energy efficiency.

description: Diversos estudios sobre derechos y desigualdades en el contexto de la migración internacional y la transnacionalización del trabajo coinciden en poner de relieve la utilidad potencial o efectiva de los nexos entre organizaciones de la sociedad civil, sindicales y no sindicales. Con este trabajo procuro aportar a la comprensión de algunas limitaciones en la lucha que organizaciones de este tipo llevan adelante a propósito de las desigualdades que afectan a trabajadores/as migrantes bolivianos/as. El documento analiza la situación de los/as migrantes en Buenos Aires y La Plata (Argentina), y en Madrid (España), profundizando en un estudio de caso en el primero de estos lugares. Las limitaciones de estas luchas se aprecian en la desconexión de los/as propios/as migrantes respecto de ellas y, al mismo tiempo, son resultado de esa desvinculación. El trabajo hace hincapié en las dificultades que las organizaciones no gubernamentales y sindicatos pro migrantes exhiben para actuar sobre la intersección de dimensiones de la desigualdad (clase, nacionalidad, etnia y otras) y las formas aparentemente inconciliables de organización asociadas a las pertenencias colectivas que se desarrollan en torno a dichas dimensiones. Las divergencias resultan de la productividad que el trabajo de representación y organización social y política tiene en la caracterización de las desigualdades y en la configuración de los actores mismos.

description: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are among the most common and significant patient safety issues posing great threats to public health. One in every 25 inpatients in the United States experiences a HAI. Because they have continuously been a major reason for increased morbidity and mortality in healthcare facilities, increased attention to understanding the spread of HAIs is an urgently needed. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation, was to examine the risk factors for two of the most common HAIs (surgical site infection [SSI] and Clostridioides difficile infection [CDI]), using multiple methodological approaches. Chapter 1 provides an overview of HAIs, the risk factors identified from the previous literature, and the necessity of different methodological approaches to identify the risk of HAIs. Chapter 2 is an integrative review synthesizing the findings from seven published studies examining the association between the development of pocket hematoma and the risk of wound infection in individuals with cardiovascular implantable electronic devices. Chapter 3 is a summary of a retrospective cohort study using machine learning techniques—logistic regression, decision tree, and support vector machine approaches—to build predictive models of SSI among individuals with permanent pacemakers, followed by a comparison of the predictive abilities of the three algorithms. Chapter 4 describes a retrospective matched case-control study to examine (1) temporal changes in the incidence of community or hospital-acquired CDI, (2) the risk factors for hospital-acquired CDI including individual-host factors and pharmacological-related factors, and (3) temporal changes in the risk factors for hospital-acquired CDI. Lastly, Chapter 5 summarizes and synthesizes the findings of the studies included in this dissertation, the strengths and limitations of the studies, implications for public health and clinical practice, advanced studies on methodology, and future research. In conclusion, this dissertation adds comprehensive knowledge regarding the associations between risk factors and HAIs by identifying reliable risk factors measured in various ways and applying various methodological approaches.

description: Introduction  Oral nutritional supplements (ONS) are used to reach protein and energy goals in patients at risk of malnutrition [1]. Compliance with ONS can be challenging but may be improved by prescribing ONS in smaller portions with medication rounds (MEDPass) [2]. We compared the likelihood of meeting energy and protein requirements in patients receiving ONS with MEDPass versus conventional administration. Material and Methods  The MEDPass Trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label trial conducted on medical and geriatric wards in a University Hospital in Switzerland. The MEDPass group received 50ml of ONS four times per day with the medication rounds. The control group received ONS per conventional care. The primary outcome was the percentage of energy in relation to the individual requirement. Secondary outcomes included the coverage of protein intake in relation to the individual requirement, the amount of daily consumed ONS, the course of handgrip strength (HGS), body weight (BW) appetite, nausea and 30-day mortality. Results  From November 2018 until November 2021, 204 patients were included in the trial (MEDPass group n=100, control group n=104). 203 patients were analyzed in the intention-to-treat analysis. There was no difference in the coverage of energy requirement between the MEDPass and control group (82 vs. 85% (Δ -3%, 95%CI -11 to 4%), p=0.38). Similarly, no differences were found for the coverage of protein requirement (101 vs. 104% (Δ -3%, 95% CI -12 -7%), p=0.57, average daily intake of ONS (170 vs 173 ml (Δ – 3 ml, 95% CI -14 to 8 ml), p=0.58) and 30-day mortality (3 vs. 8 patients, OR 0.4 (95% CI 0.1-1.4), p=0.15). The course of HGS, BW, appetite and nausea did not differ between the groups (p=0.29, p=0.14, p=0.65 and p=0.94, respectively). The per protocol analysis showed similar results. Conclusion  We found high compliance for ONS intake and high coverage of protein requirements but no further improvement regarding any of the endpoints was found when ONS was administered using MEDPass compared to conventional care. However, MEDPass administration may provide an alternative that is easy to integrate into nursing routines which may lead to lower workload with cost benefits and reduction of food waste.

description: We study surface second-harmonic generation (SHG) from a singular plasmonic structure consisting of touching metallic wires. We use the technique of transformation optics and relate the structure to a rather simpler geometry, a slab waveguide. This allows us to obtain an analytical solution to the problem, revealing rich physical insights. We identify various conditions that govern the SHG efficiency. Importantly, our analysis demonstrates that apart from the mode-matching condition, phase-matching condition is relevant even for this sub-wavelength structure. Furthermore, we identify a geometric factor which was not identified before. We support our analysis with numerical simulations.

description: This dissertation is devoted to the history of the Albanian system of education in general, its mathematics education program in particular, and, specifically, the Albanian high school mathematics assessment.  Historical in terms of its research methodology, and mathematical-pedagogical in terms of the objects of the study, this research explores and compares the Albanian high school mathematics graduate examinations during 1970s and 2006 – 2015: two decades during two different historical periods. It analyzes the general structure of the examinations, their mathematical task design, and the history of their changes under the influence of political and social processes. The units of analysis here are the questions of each examination, which are examined both individually and in context as part of the examination, investigating the examinations’ topic coverage and comparing the latter to the intended national curriculum.
      	This study was based on multiple primary sources, including documents from the Albanian Ministry of Education, the Central State Archive of the Republic of Albania, the Internet archive (http://www.arsimi.gov.al), memoirs of former teachers, high school textbooks during the respective years, and other sources. The analysis showed that Albanian mathematics education was not immune to political and social change: both its curriculum and assessment were affected. Examination administration, format, topic coverage, and item characteristics, even the pure mathematical problems, represented in some ways the Albanian social, economic, and political views of the time.

description: Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases are plasmid (but also chromosomally) encoded enzymes found in Enterobacteriaceae, determining resistance to a variety of important antibiotics including penicillins, cephalosporins, and monobactams. In recent decades, the prevalence of ESBL /AmpC-producing bacteria has increased rapidly across the world. Here, we evaluate the potential use of bacteriophages in terms of a reduction of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in healthy animals. The aim of our studies was to isolate bacteriophages capable of destroying ESBL/AmpC-producing Escherichia coli isolated from livestock habitats. The efficacy of isolated phages against ESBL/AmpC E. coli strains varies, but creation of a phage cocktail with broad activity spectrum is possible. This may indicate that the role of phages may not be limited to phage therapy, but bacterial viruses may also be applied against spread of bacteria with antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. We also addressed the hypothesis, that phages, effective for therapeutic purposes may be isolated from distant places and even from different environments other than the actual location of the targeted bacteria. This may be beneficial for practical purposes, as the construction of effective phage preparations does not require access to disease outbreaks.

description: We study a complex intertwining relation of second order for Schroedinger operators and construct third order symmetry operators for them. A modification of this approach leads to a higher order shape invariance. We analyze with particular attention irreducible second order Darboux transformations which together with the first order act as building blocks. For the third order shape-invariance irreducible Darboux transformations entail only one sequence of equidistant levels while for the reducible case the structure consists of up to three infinite sequences of equidistant levels and, in some cases, singlets or doublets of isolated levels.

title: Experimental and Numerical Study of RC Walls with Opening Strengthened by CFRP

description: Concrete structures regularly require strengthening due to various reasons. These structures include bridges, buildings and infrastructure, across numerous sectors and industries. Based on the load-carrying capacity of structures and proposed future applications, a vast array of strengthening methods may be utilised. Due to rapid advancements in construction materials, technology has led to the achievement of being able to secure safer, more economical and functional buildings. Of the innovative materials, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) appears to be an encouraging solution for the retrofitting and strengthening of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures because of its unique properties. These properties include: high strength-to-weight ratio; high fatigue endurance; environmental degradation and corrosion resistance. FRP is also durable and very flexible for application to the various shapes of structural members. Further, it is easy to install, with a negligible increase in structural size and weight. The application of FRP is dependent upon the type of structural member plus its behaviour. It can be used to enhance the load capacities (axial, flexural, or shear), ductility, rigidity, the remaining fatigue life as well as the durability against harsh environments.

description: Representation theory for the Jordanian quantum algebra $U=U_h(sl(2))$ is developed. Closed form expressions are given for the action of the generators of U on the basis vectors of finite dimensional irreducible representations. It is shown how representation theory of U has a close connection to combinatorial identities involving summation formulas. A general formula is obtained for the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients $C^{j_1,j_2,j}_{n_1,n_2,m}(h)$ of U. These Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are shown to coincide with those of su(2) for $n_1+n_2 \leq m$, but for $n_1+n_2 > m$ they are in general a nonzero monomial in $h^{n_1+n_2-m}$.

description: We construct charged soliton solutions around spherical charged black holes with no angular momentum in asymptotically flat spacetime. These solutions are non-linear generalizations of charged scalar clouds, dubbed Q-ball hair or Q-clouds, and they do not contradict the non-existence theorem for free (linear) scalar clouds around charged black holes. These solutions are the first examples of O(3) solutions for Q-clouds around a non-extremal and non-rotating BH in the Abelian gauge theory. We show that a solution exists with an infinitely short hair in the limit of extremal black holes. We discuss the evolution of scalar hair in a system with fixed total charge and describe how the existence of Q-clouds is related to the weak-gravity conjecture. The reason that the no-hair theorem by Mayo and Bekenstein cannot be applied to the massive scalar field is also discussed.

description: INTRODUCTION AND JUSTIFICATION: Sepsis is defined as an organic dysfunction possibly deadly caused by an uncontrolled host response to an infection originated by the presence of microorganisms (SINGER et al., 2016; WHO, 2023). However, sepsis in children does not present a clear definition (ILAS, 2019), and are without updates since 2005, when the Surviving Sepsis campaign defined sepsis in children as the presence of more than two criteria of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) (GOLDSTEIN, et al., 2005).This corroborates the importance of the nursing team's evaluative role, which is not directly related to the level of training, but to the work experience associated with the technical-scientific knowledge and capacity of operationalization (VIOLA; HAGAN, 2017). The nursing team has to be able to monitor, identify and evaluate physio-behavioral changes in a systematic way in order to guarantee quality care, aiming to improve the clinical picture (SOUZA et al.,2023). OBJECTIVE:Analyzing the evidence available in the literature on nursing care for neonatal sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit. METHOD Integrative Literature Review, based on Evidence-Based Practice. This will be carried out in six stages: identification of the topic and research question definition; establishment of criteria for inclusion and exclusion of studies; studies categorization; evaluation of studies included in the integrative review; interpretation of results and knowledge synthesis of the main results from the analysis of the included articles (MENDES; SILVEIRA; GALVÃO, 2008).Research Question: In order to develop the research question, it was used the PICO strategy, being (P) patient – “Neonates with sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit”, (I) intervention – “Nursing care”, (C) comparison – “not applicable” and (O) result - “Clinical condition improvement”, which resulted in: “What is the scientific evidence on nursing care provided to newborns with sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit that contributes to improving the clinical condition?”. Review presentation:The results will be presented descriptively, providing a knowledge synthesis of this review.https://meet.google.com/qom-vzya-ynpDescriptors: Newborn; Neonatal Sepsis; Nursing Care; Neonatal Intensive Care Units.

description: Spin coherent states play a crucial role in defining QESM (quasi-exactly solvable models) establishing a strict correspondence between energy spectra of spin systems and low-lying quantum states for a particle moving in a potential field of a certain form. Spin coherent states are also used for finding the Wigner-Kirkwood expansion and quantum corrections to energy quantization rules. The closed equation which governs dynamics of a quantum system is obtained in the spin coherent representation directly for observable quantities.

description: This work proposes an improved reversible data hiding scheme in encrypted images using parametric binary tree labeling(IPBTL-RDHEI), which takes advantage of the spatial correlation in the entire original image but not in small image blocks to reserve room for hiding data. Then the original image is encrypted with an encryption key and the parametric binary tree is used to label encrypted pixels into two different categories. Finally, one of the two categories of encrypted pixels can embed secret information by bit replacement. According to the experimental results, compared with several state-of-the-art methods, the proposed IPBTL-RDHEI method achieves higher embedding rate and outperforms the competitors. Due to the reversibility of IPBTL-RDHEI, the original plaintext image and the secret information can be restored and extracted losslessly and separately.
title: The Social Benefits in Sports City Planning: A Case study Examination of Manchester and Melbourne
Creators: name: Pye, Peter Nicholas
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Global sport
subject: Sports city planning
subject: Melbourne, Australia
subject: Manchester, England

description: The relatively recent emergence of global sport has occurred at such a rate that it has been called one of the largest and fastest growing components of the world economy (Cornelissen, 2007; Higham & Hinch, 2002). One of the latest manifestations of this growth is the emergence of sports cities (Smith, 2010). The concept of sports cities is an ill-defined term, and one that has emerged in conjunction with the growth in global sporting events - events which have left a legacy of stadiums and other facilities in host cities (Smith, 2010). Many cities have adopted the term in order to optimise sport infrastructure, extend event legacies, and leverage the associated economic opportunities. Despite their abundance, there is little research that explores sports cities, and less still that explores the extent to which social benefits form part of their planning. To address this gap, a conceptual framework has been developed that combines two fields of research; sport and urban planning. The framework is derived from Coalter’s examination of the social benefits of sport, and Gehl's investigation into the components of liveable cities (Coalter, 2005, 2007b; Gehl, 2010, 2011). Using this conceptual framework, an analysis is conducted on the two leading sports cities of Manchester and Melbourne. This research explores whether their sports city planning included the provision of social benefits. Through the use of observation, document analysis, and interviews, the research reveals the sports city planning process from the perspectives of those involved in it.
In search of the Australian dole bludger : constructing discourses of welfare, 1974-83
Creators: name: Archer, Verity
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2006

description: This thesis argues that the invention of dole-bludger discourse in 1974 was part of a broader struggle to replace Keynesianism with New Right economics. It uses a Gramscian framework to situate its argument and draws primarily on parliamentary debates, press articles, and the publications of economic think tanks for evidence. In 1974 Australia experienced the simultaneous rise of unemployment and inflation. Economic think tanks and business organisations constructed this economic 'stagflation' as a crisis in need of a radical cure, and proposed remedies in the form of a decreased welfare state. In doing so they actively adopted an American New Right project that had been under construction since the late 1960s. This project was translated into an Australian vernacular through media and parliamentary discourse. As part of this process the 'Australian taxpayer' was placed in discursive opposition to the newly invented 'dole bludger'. The importation of 'new class' discourse created another dichotomy, between taxpayers and welfare workers, or supporters of the welfare state more generally. Welfare was represented as the cause of economic problems rather than their cure. Dole-bludger discourse therefore rendered illegitimate the economic justice claims of the unemployed, focusing instead on the taxpayer as 'victim'. In doing so it separated workers from the welfare state and from the Left.
