Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Introduction As the population ages, frailty is expected to become a more common complicating feature in the management of Non-ST-Elevation ACS (NSTEACS). Understanding how frail elderly patients respond to coronary intervention is therefore of significant public health importance. We conducted a retrospective cohort study with robust bias-limiting statistical methods to estimate the causal effects of a routine invasive strategy in frail elderly NSTEACS patients. Methods and Results A cohort of frail elderly NSTEACS patients was extracted from three of NSW’s administrative health databases. We used propensity score matching to pair 583 treated and control patients, creating treatment groups that were balanced across many confounders. Regularised conditional logistic regression models and Cox models were used to adjust for residual frailty risk in estimating the causal effects of a routine invasive strategy on several outcomes. A routine invasive strategy significantly decreased the odds of one-year all-cause death (OR = 0.46), one year MACE (OR = 0.59) and in-hospital death (OR = 0.23) but significantly increased the odds of in-hospital major bleeding (OR = 1.49). Treatment decreased the long-term hazard rates of all-cause death (HR = 0.60) and MACE (HR = 0.62). The Hospital Frailty Risk Score was significantly associated with the odds of one-year all-cause death (OR = 1.02) and the hazard rates of all-cause death and MACE (both HR = 1.02). No differential treatment effects between subgroups of frailty risk were observed. Conclusion While frailty risk was associated with increased risk of all-cause death and MACE, a routine invasive strategy decreased the risk of one-year and long-term all-cause death in frail elderly NSTEACS patients, including those at very high frailty risk. Frailty risk alone should not preclude an elderly NSTEACS patient from being treated invasively, but methods to minimise and manage the higher odds of in-hospital major bleeding are essential.

description: A quinidine-catalyzed diastereoselective addition of α-angelica lactone to β-halo-α-ketoesters is reported. The α-angelica lactone displays unusual regioselectivity in this reaction, acting as a nucleophile at the α-position to provide fully substituted glycolic esters with three contiguous stereocenters. Subsequent diastereoselective hydrogenation provides an additional stereocenter within the lactone.

description: We report on the observation of weakly-bound dimers of bosonic Dysprosium with a strong universal s-wave halo character, associated with broad magnetic Feshbach resonances. These states surprisingly decouple from the chaotic backgound of narrow resonances, persisting across many such narrow resonances. In addition they show the highest reported magnetic moment $μ\simeq20\,μ_{\rm B}$ of any ultracold molecule. We analyze our findings using a coupled-channel theory taking into account the short range van der Waals interaction and a correction due to the strong dipole moment of Dysprosium. We are able to extract the scattering length as a function of magnetic field associated with these resonances and obtain a background scattering length $a_{\rm bg}=91(16)\,a_0$. These results offer prospects of a tunability of the interactions in Dysprosium, which we illustrate by observing the saturation of three-body losses.

description: European democracies appear to be facing substantial difficulties. Challenges arise from the emergence of right-wing populist parties and the withdrawal of citizens from established political parties. These changes it is claimed have led to an erosion of trust in the democratic political system. Drawing on ten waves of the European Social Survey from 2002 to 2020 in 11 Western European countries we test the evidence for a decline in democratic sentiment. Results do not support any deterioration in satisfaction with the way democracy works and trust in parliament, legal and police systems. Nor have hostile attitudes to immigrants increased in this period. Given the general rise in the electoral support for these parties our findings appear puzzling. However, while the evidence indicates no deterioration, attitudes to political parties and parliaments were far from positive in 2002 providing fertile ground for the emergence of populist radical right-wing parties.

title: An investigation of saltiness perception of lysine and calcium lactate and their application in developing reduced salt meat products
Creators: name: Wang, Sijia
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2025

description: Excessive salt intake is associated with a growing risk of cardiovascular disease. In order to reduce salt levels in food, one of the popular strategies is to use other metallic salts to partially replace salt. However, this often causes a significant loss in saltiness, leads to additional tastes (i.e., bitter) and reduces shelf-life. According to pervious research, lysine and calcium lactate may hold the key to solve this problem, and hence, enable successful salt substitution. This experiment aimed to explore whether lysine and calcium lactate can be used as salt substitutes and their effect on the quality of low�9 sodium meat products. Since umami taste has been used widely in sodium reduction by enhancing flavour perception, therefore, this thesis first aimed to gain a better understanding of the interaction of the five basic taste sensations (sweetness, sourness, saltiness, bitterness, umami), and especially the role of umami in complex taste systems. A trained sensory panel was used to rate the taste intensity of equi-intense aqueous solutions. The results concluded that umami did not enhance or suppress the perception of any other taste, whereas sweetness, saltiness, sourness and bitterness significantly suppressed the perception of umami. Therefore, the study changed focus to consider whether lysine and calcium lactate could contribute to salty taste. In aqueous solution, calcium lactate did not offer saltiness, but 1% lysine produced weak saltiness. Overall, 1% lysine with or without 0.75% calcium lactate would replace 50% salt (NaCl) in solution system without compromising saltiness perception. The effects of lysine and calcium lactate as substitutes were further tested in a real food matrix (low-salt meat products). Physicochemical characteristics, sensory properties and microbiological analysis were used to evaluate their effectiveness in salt-reduced pork patties. The results concluded that lysine increased the yield and calcium lactate improved shelf-life of a salt-reduced pork patty. Calcium lactate and lysine could offer effective way to reduce salt by 50% without compromising shelf life and eating quality. Because lysine, as a basic reactive amino acid, may be involved in Maillard reaction and modify the flavour profile of meat products during heating processing, thereby affecting the salty taste. So, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to study the volatile flavour compounds in salt-reduced pork patties in a range of meat pH (5.5 to 6.5). Results showed that Maillard reaction-related volatile flavour compounds were very low in the low salt patties prepared with lysine and calcium lactate under normal meat pH conditions, and the modification to flavour profile of cooked pork patty was minimum. To sum up, the combination of lysine and calcium lactate could be used as a new salt substitute in meat products offering comparable eating quality and shelf life to full salt products.

description: AbstractThere is increasing recognition that many if not most common chronic pain conditions are heterogeneous with a high degree of overlap or coprevalence of other common pain conditions along with influences from biopsychosocial factors. At present, very little attention is given to the high degree of overlap of many common pain conditions when recruiting for clinical trials. As such, many if not most patients enrolled into clinical studies are not representative of most chronic pain patients. The failure to account for the heterogeneous and overlapping nature of most common pain conditions may result in treatment responses of small effect size when these treatments are administered to patients with chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs) represented in the general population. In this brief review we describe the concept of COPCs and the putative mechanisms underlying COPCs. Finally, we present a series of recommendations that will advance our understanding of COPCs.PerspectiveThis brief review describes the concept of COPCs. A mechanism-based heuristic model is presented and current knowledge and evidence for COPCs are presented. Finally, a set of recommendations is provided to advance our understanding of COPCs.

description: I explore, from a proof-theoretic perspective, the hierarchy of classical and paraconsistent logics introduced by Barrio, Pailos and Szmuc in (Journal o f Philosophical Logic, 49, 93-120, 2021). First, I provide sequent rules and axioms for all the logics in the hierarchy, for all inferential levels, and establish soundness and completeness results. Second, I show how to extend those systems with a corresponding hierarchy of validity predicates, each one of which is meant to capture “validity” at a different inferential level. Then, I point out two potential philosophical implications of these results. (i) Since the logics in the hierarchy differ from one another on the rules, I argue that each such logic maintains its own distinct identity (contrary to arguments like the one given by Dicher and Paoli in 2019). (ii) Each validity predicate need not capture “validity” at more than one metainferential level. Hence, there are reasons to deny the thesis (put forward in Barrio, E., Rosenblatt, L. & Tajer, D. (Synthese, 2016)) that the validity predicate introduced in by Beall and Murzi in (Journal o f Philosophy, 110(3), 143–165, 2013) has to express facts not only about what follows from what, but also about the metarules, etc.
Alfvén wave phase-mixing in flows: Why over-dense, solar coronal, open magnetic field structures are cool?

description: The motivation for this study is to include the effect of plasma flow in Alfvén wave (AW) damping via phase mixing and to explore the observational implications. Our magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations and analytical calculations show that, when a background flow is present, mathematical expressions for the AW damping via phase mixing are modified by the following substitution: $C_A^\prime(x) \to C_A^\prime(x)+V_0^\prime(x)$, where $C_A$ and $V_0$ are AW phase and the flow speeds, and the prime denotes a derivative in the direction across the background magnetic field. In uniform magnetic fields and over-dense plasma structures, where $C_A$ is smaller than in the surrounding plasma, the flow, which is confined to the structure and going in the same direction as the AW, reduces the effect of phase-mixing, because on the edges of the structure $C_A^\prime$ and $V_0^\prime$ have opposite signs. Thus, the wave damps by means of slower phase-mixing compared to the case without the flow. This is the result of the co-directional flow that reduces the wave front stretching in the transverse direction. We apply our findings to addressing the question why over-dense solar coronal open magnetic field structures (OMFS) are cooler than the background plasma. Observations show that the over-dense OMFS (e.g. solar coronal polar plumes) are cooler than surrounding plasma and that, in these structures, Doppler line-broadening is consistent with bulk plasma motions, such as AW. If over-dense solar coronal OMFS are heated by AW damping via phase-mixing, we show that, co-directional with AW, plasma flow in them reduces the phase-mixing induced-heating, thus providing an explanation of why they appear cooler than the background.

description: In the scalar dirty multiple-access channel, in addition to Gaussian noise, two additive interference signals are present, each known non-causally to a single transmitter. It was shown by Philosof et al. that for strong interferences, an i.i.d. ensemble of codes does not achieve the capacity region. Rather, a structured-codes approach was presented, that was shown to be optimal in the limit of high signal-to-noise ratios, where the sum-capacity is dictated by the minimal ("bottleneck") channel gain. In this paper, we consider the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) variant of this setting. In order to incorporate structured codes in this case, one can utilize matrix decompositions that transform the channel into effective parallel scalar dirty multiple-access channels. This approach however suffers from a "bottleneck" effect for each effective scalar channel and therefore the achievable rates strongly depend on the chosen decomposition. It is shown that a recently proposed decomposition, where the diagonals of the effective channel matrices are equal up to a scaling factor, is optimal at high signal-to-noise ratios, under an equal rank assumption. This approach is then extended to any number of transmitters. Finally, an application to physical-layer network coding for the MIMO two-way relay channel is presented.

description: Green chemistry can play a crucial role in 4IR by providing solutions for sustainability, biotechnology, and eco-efficiency. For example, green chemistry can help to develop bioprocesses that use renewable resources and minimize hazardous waste production. Recently, synthesis of xanthene derivatives has attracted considerable attention to organic chemists owing to their widespread therapeutic and biological properties, such as antiviral, ant-inflammatory and agricultural bactericidal activity. They have also been utilized in the preparation of dyes in leather technologies, to visualization of biomolecules, and pH-sensitive fluorescent materials. Although various methods are evolved to synthesize xanthene derivatives, but most of the cases the methods are not free from restraints, such as uses of toxic metal catalyst, extra precautions needed for reaction set up, limited examples, and above all are not fully green chemistry allowed. To keep eyes on the 12-green chemistry principles a green technique has been developed for the synthesis of 15 biologically active xanthene derivatives by the condensation of 2-naphthol, aldehyde, and dimedone mediated by a small organic molecule, 2- aminophenol. Structures of the synthesized products were determined by IR, 1H & 13C NMR spectroscopy and HRMS spectrometric analyses, and all the data unambiguously supported the assigned structures. Short reaction time, straightforward, easy product isolation technique, non-toxic catalyst, and above all metal-free process are the noteworthy advantages of this method

description: Class imbalance poses a major challenge for machine learning as most supervised learning models might exhibit bias towards the majority class and under-perform in the minority class. Cost-sensitive learning tackles this problem by treating the classes differently, formulated typically via a user-defined fixed misclassification cost matrix provided as input to the learner. Such parameter tuning is a challenging task that requires domain knowledge and moreover, wrong adjustments might lead to overall predictive performance deterioration. In this work, we propose a novel cost-sensitive boosting approach for imbalanced data that dynamically adjusts the misclassification costs over the boosting rounds in response to model’s performance instead of using a fixed misclassification cost matrix. Our method, called AdaCC, is parameter-free as it relies on the cumulative behavior of the boosting model in order to adjust the misclassification costs for the next boosting round and comes with theoretical guarantees regarding the training error. Experiments on 27 real-world datasets from different domains with high class imbalance demonstrate the superiority of our method over 12 state-of-the-art cost-sensitive boosting approaches exhibiting consistent improvements in different measures, for instance, in the range of [0.3–28.56%] for AUC, [3.4–21.4%] for balanced accuracy, [4.8–45%] for gmean and [7.4–85.5%] for recall.

description: In this review we discuss the multifaceted problem of spin transport in hydrogenated graphene from a theoretical perspective. The current experimental findings suggest that hydrogenation can either increase or decrease spin lifetimes, which calls for clarification. We first discuss the spin-orbit coupling induced by local $σ-π$ re-hybridization and ${\bf sp}^{3}$ C-H defect formation together with the formation of a local magnetic moment. First-principles calculations of hydrogenated graphene unravel the strong interplay of spin-orbit and exchange couplings. The concept of magnetic scattering resonances, recently introduced \cite{Kochan2014} is revisited by describing the local magnetism through the self-consistent Hubbard model in the mean field approximation in the dilute limit, while spin relaxation lengths and transport times are computed using an efficient real space order N wavepacket propagation method. Typical spin lifetimes on the order of 1 nanosecond are obtained for 1 ppm of hydrogen impurities (corresponding to transport time about 50 ps), and the scaling of spin lifetimes with impurity density is described by the Elliott-Yafet mechanism. This reinforces the statement that magnetism is the origin of the substantial spin polarization loss in the ultraclean graphene limit.

description: We investigate prospects of using counter-rotating vortex superposition states in non-equilibrium exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensates for the purposes of Sagnac interferometry. We first investigate the stability of vortex-antivortex superposition states, and show that they survive at steady-state in a variety of configurations. Counter-rotating vortex superpositions are of potential interest to gyroscope and seismometer applications for detecting rotations. Methods of improving the sensitivity are investigated by targeting high momentum states via metastable condensation, and the application of periodic lattices. The sensitivity of the polariton gyroscope is compared to its optical and atomic counterparts. Due to the large interferometer areas in optical systems and small de Broglie wavelengths for atomic BECs, the sensitivity per detected photon is found to be considerably less for the polariton gyroscope than with competing methods. However, polariton gyroscopes have an advantage over atomic BECs in a high signal-to-noise ratio, and have other practical advantages such as room-temperature operation and robust design. We estimate that the final sensitivities including signal-to-noise aspects are competitive with existing methods.

description: We construct 2-solitons of any speed of the focusing energy-critical nonlinear wave equation in dimension 5. The existence result also holds for the case of K-solitons, for any K >2, assuming that the speeds are collinear. The main difficulty of the construction is the strong interaction between the solitons due to the slow spatial decay of the single soliton. This is in contrast with previous constructions of multi-solitons for other nonlinear models (like generalized KdV and nonlinear Schrodinger equations in energy subcritical cases), where the interactions are exponentially small in time due to the exponential decay of the solitons.

Protective measurement is described, both in the original and generalized form. The degree to which the system and the apparatus remain entangled in a protective measurement, is assessed. A possible experimental test of protective measurements is discussed.

description: There is good evidence that poor sleep quality increases risk of painful temporomandibular disorder (TMD). However little is known about the course of sleep quality in the months preceding TMD onset, and whether the relationship is mediated by heightened sensitivity to pain. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was administered at enrollment into the OPPERA prospective cohort study. Thereafter the Sleep Quality Numeric Rating Scale was administered every three months to 2,453 participants. Sensitivity to experimental pressure pain and pinprick pain stimuli was measured at baseline and repeated during follow-up of incident TMD cases (n=220) and matched TMD-free controls (n=193). Subjective sleep quality deteriorated progressively, but only in those who subsequently developed TMD. A Cox proportional hazards model showed that risk of TMD was greater among participants whose sleep quality worsened during follow-up (adjusted hazard ratio=1.73, 95% confidence limits: 1.29, 2.32). This association was independent of baseline measures of sleep quality, psychological stress, somatic awareness, comorbid conditions, non-pain facial symptoms and demographics. Poor baseline sleep quality was not significantly associated with baseline pain sensitivity or with subsequent change in pain sensitivity. Furthermore the relationship between sleep quality and TMD incidence was not mediated via baseline pain sensitivity nor change in pain sensitivity.

description: Wald's entropy formula allows one to find the entropy of black holes' event horizon within any diffeomorphism invariant theory of gravity. When applied to general relativity, the formula yields the Bekenstein-Hawking result but, for any other gravitational action that departs from the Hilbert action, the resulting entropy acquires an additional multiplicative factor that depends on the global geometry of the background spacetime. On the other hand, the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) has extensively been recently used to investigate corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula, with the conclusion that the latter always comes multiplied by a factor that depends on the area of the event horizon. We show, by considering the case of an $f(R)$-modified gravity, that the usual black hole entropy derivation based on the GUP might be modified in such a way that the two methods yield the same corrections to Bekenstein-Hawking formula. The procedure turns out to be an interesting method for seeking modified gravity theories. Two different versions of the GUP are used and it is found that only one of them yields a viable modified gravity model. Conversely, it is possible to find a general formulation of the GUP that would reproduce Wald entropy formula for any $f(R)$-theory of gravity.

description: In science education, learners’ conceptions of scientists and their work are often assessed by the Draw-A-Scientist Test (DAST). Due to validity concerns, methodical literature demands the development of alternative instruments to measure learners’ conceptions validly and efficiently. This study presents an instrument with 29 rating scale items to assess pre-service teachers’ (PSTs) Views of Scientists, their Activities, and Locations (VoSAL). The items were developed based on theoretical considerations, previous findings, and repeated discussions by biology education experts. After several steps of test development, PSTs filled out the questionnaire (N = 1,098). Exploratory factor analyses and reliability measurements mostly confirm the proposed structure. Groups comparisons were performed regarding the results from pre-service biology teachers of three different study stages (nfreshmen = 114; nsecond and third years = 124; ngraduates = 107). Analyses of variance and corresponding post-hoc tests showed that undergraduates (freshmen, second and third years) differ significantly from graduates regarding the scales stereotypical appearance, inquiry location, and scientific activity, with undergraduates having more stereotypical conceptions than graduates. In sum, the VoSAL can be utilized to gain valid data of PSTs’ conceptions about scientists and their work. Also, the VoSAL can be considered efficient since the test time is between 5 and 10 min. Thus, the questionnaire is valuable in studies that aim to introduce and expose PSTs to realistic science images.

description: Objective. With the increasing societal awareness of the prevalence and impact of acute pain, there is a need to develop an acute pain classification system that both reflects contemporary mechanistic insights and helps guide future research and treatment. Existing classifications of acute pain conditions are limiting, with a predominant focus on the sensory experience (e.g., pain intensity) and pharmacologic consumption. Consequently, there is a need to more broadly characterize and classify the multidimensional experience of acute pain.

description: Recently, there had been a great deal of interest in obtaining and describing of all kinds of knots in links in hydrodynamics, electrodynamics, non Abelian gauge field theories and gravity. Although knots and links are observables of the Chern-Simons (C-S) functional, the dynamical conditions for their generation lie outside of the scope of the C-S theory. The nontriviality of dynamical generation of knotted structures is caused by the fact that the complements of all knots/links, say, in S^3 are 3-manifolds which have positive, negative or zero curvature. The ability to curve the ambient space thus far is attributed to masses. The mass theorem of general relativity requires the ambient 3-manifolds to be of non negative curvature. Recently, we established that, in the absence of boundaries, complements of dynamically generated knots/links are represented by 3-manifolds of non negative curvature. This fact opens the possibility to discuss masses in terms of dynamically generated knotted/ linked structures. The key tool is the notion of knot/link concordance. The concept of concordance is an adaptation of the concept of cobordism to knots and links. The logic of implementation of the concordance concept to physical masses results in new interpretation of Casson's surgery formula in terms of the Regge trajectories. The latest thoroughly examined Chew-Frautschi (C-F) plots associated with these trajectories demonstrate that the hadron mass spectrum for both mesons and baryons is nicely described by the data on the corresponding C-F plots. The physics behind Casson's surgery formula is similar but not identical to that described purely phenomenologically by Keith Moffatt in 1990. The developed topological treatment is fully consistent with available rigorous mathematical and experimentally observed results related to physics of hadrons

description: Splicing is one key mechanism determining the state of any eukaryotic cell. Apart from linear splice variants, circular splice variants (circRNAs) can arise via non-canonical splicing involving a back-splice junction (BSJ). Most existing methods only identify circRNAs via the corresponding BSJ, but do not aim to estimate their full sequence identity or to identify different, alternatively spliced circular isoforms arising from the same BSJ. We here present CYCLeR, the first computational method for identifying the full sequence identity of new and alternatively spliced circRNAs and their abundances while simultaneously co-estimating the abundances of known linear splicing isoforms. We show that CYCLeR significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of F score and quantification of transcripts in simulated data. In a in a comparative study with long-read data, we also show the advantages of CYCLeR compared to existing methods. When analysing Drosophila melanogaster data, CYCLeR uncovers biological patterns of circRNA expression that other methods fail to observe.

description: We develop a kinetic theory for twisted density waves (phonons), carrying a finite amount of orbital angular momentum, in large magneto optical traps, where the collective processes due to the exchange of scattered photons are considered. Explicit expressions for the dispersion relation and for the kinetic (Landau) damping are derived and contributions from the orbital angular momentum are discussed. We show that for rotating clouds, exhibiting ring-shaped structures, phonons carrying orbital angular momentum can cross the instability threshold and grow out of noise, while the usual plane wave solutions are kinetically damped.

description: AbstractSmall cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcaemic type (SCCOHT) is a lethal and sometimes familial ovarian tumour of young women and children. We and others recently discovered that over 90% of SCCOHTs harbour inactivating mutations in the chromatin remodelling gene SMARCA4 with concomitant loss of its encoded protein SMARCA4 (BRG1), one of two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex. To determine the specificity of SMARCA4 loss for SCCOHT, we examined the expression of SMARCA4 by immunohistochemistry in more than 3000 primary gynaecological tumours. Among ovarian tumours, it was only absent in clear cell carcinoma (15 of 360, 4%). In the uterus, it was absent in endometrial stromal sarcomas (4 of 52, 8%) and high‐grade endometrioid carcinomas (2 of 338, 1%). Recent studies have shown that SMARCA2 (BRM), the other mutually exclusive ATPase of the SWI/SNF complex, is necessary for survival of tumour cells lacking SMARCA4. Therefore, we examined SMARCA2 expression and discovered that all SMARCA4‐negative SCCOHTs also lacked SMARCA2 protein by IHC, including the SCCOHT cell lines BIN67 and SCCOHT1. Among ovarian tumours, the SMARCA4/SMARCA2 dual loss phenotype appears completely specific for SCCOHT. SMARCA2 loss was not due to mutation but rather from an absence of mRNA expression, which was restored by treatment with the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A. Re‐expression of SMARCA4 or SMARCA2 inhibited the growth of BIN67 and SCCOHT1 cell lines. Our results indicate that SMARCA4 loss, either alone or with SMARCA2, is highly sensitive and specific for SCCOHT and that restoration of either SWI/SNF ATPase can inhibit the growth of SCCOHT cell lines. © 2015 The Authors.
