description: This year we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the International Digital Preservation Conference (iPRES). The first iPRES took place in 2004, hosted by the Library of the Chinese Academy of Science and Electronic Information for Libraries. The event was entitled the Chinese-European Workshop on Digital Preservation and topics included global infrastructure for local preservation, international cooperation, and preservation aspects of different digital object types. Over the years iPRES has grown in attendance, representation, programming and governance - how do we characterize this growth and what would we want to or need to do differently as we look ahead to the next 15 years? During PART 1 of this moderated discussion, panelists will reflect on their collective experiences of iPRES over the last fifteen years: How have recurring topics changed or evolved over time? How have hosts measured success for previous conferences? What would each of the panelists like to continue or improve about iPres - in their experience as attendees,presenters, or as organizers and hosts?

description: Elizabeth Castle forms part of the South-East Granite Complex of Jersey, Channel Islands and is one of several multi-magma complexes in the region. The rocks have calc-alkaline signatures indicative of a subduction zone setting. In the western half of the Elizabeth Castle complex, the outcrops are wholly granophyre, while to the east, granophyre and minor monzogranite are intimately associated with diorite. The dioritic rocks form part of a layered series which is preserved at several localities. The layered diorites were initially intruded by multiple sub-horizontal granitic sheets. All contacts between the diorite and the granitic sheets are crenulate, indicating that the two were present as coexisting magmas. Fine-grained, dark margins in the diorites contain quench textures such as spherulitic plagioclase and acicular apatite, and are interpreted as chilled margins. At many contacts a narrow tonalitic marginal zone, with acicular amphiboles, is present. Field relationships suggest that this is a hybrid produced by interaction between coexisting dioritic and granitic magmas and this is confirmed by modelling based on geochemical data. It is proposed that within the marginal zones the presence of volatile-rich fluids, increased temperatures and a decrease in viscosity promoted chemical diffusion across the dioritegranite interface. The transfer of elements, together with the presence of volatiles, promoted the growth of hydrous mafic phases and suppressed crystallization of alkali feldspar. At the same time, fluid infiltration modified the composition of the dioritic magma. Field evidence indicates that these processes took place in a narrow time frame prior to further granitic intrusion. Parts of the sheeted complex were extensively disrupted by the later granitic intrusions, producing large areas rich in dioritic enclaves. Within these disrupted areas a grey inhomogeneous rock is encountered. Field and petrographic evidence suggest that this is a hybrid rock produced by the physical mixing of dioritic and granitic magmas. Linear chemical trends confirm this interpretation. Minor intrusions comprising red granite dykes, basic dykes, composite dykes and aplite sheets cut the complex.

description: Cell and gene therapies promise durable benefits but face financial challenges from the uncertainty in their performance. Value-based purchasing arrangements (VBPAs) can address uncertainty but have been inhibited in the US by the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) approach to determining Medicaid Best Price (MBP) rebates. The likely effectiveness of MDRP reform proposals enabling VBPAs is examined in this study for durable cell and gene therapies. Monte Carlo simulations examined three potential reforms (Multiple Best Prices, Bundled Sales, and National Pooling) to determine the impact on payment misalignment, the required payer size to participate, and the percentage of total lives covered by a VBPA. Simulation results suggest that 11% to 54% of commercial US lives would be feasibly covered by a VBPA depending on reform type and condition size. MPB reform achieved the highest commercial contracted percentage and lowest misalignment for commercial payers compared to National Pooling and Bundled Sales. State Medicaid plan results suggest lower extreme misalignment across all successfully contracted instances than commercial payers. The Multiple Best Prices will likely enable VBPAs for many durable cell and gene therapies and larger payers. Further reforms may be needed to extend VBPAs to ultra-orphan conditions.

description: All throughout the 1911 century, the city of Athens manifest a distinct character that was inspired by its history. Flourishing with Neoclassical civic architecture, it remained a modest metropolis that was planned to function harmoniously around its ancient monuments. Today in the 21st century, its landscape has undergone a radical transformation. The city has expanded uncontrollably to accommodate an ever-increasing inflow of urban migration, accumulating one half of the nation's entire population within a confined geological space. Athens has become a product of cataclysmic urban growth. Furthermore, the ancient city is becoming increasingly anonymous, sprawling, with a landscape that is subjected to dominant economic trends. My photographic work for this practice led Ph. D. critically examines the ways in which development has made an impact on the Athenian landscape, altering its physiognomy. My research draws together Eugene Atget's documentation of the city of Paris, in conjunction to Walter Benjamin's criticism of modernity to demonstrate how capitalism produced a destructive effect on culture and a loss of history to society at large. In addition, I investigate the documentary value of the work by contemporary photographer Andreas Gursky to establish the character of our own modern age, and to create a critical image of the city and its landscape in the photographs of my work. Throughout my research, l consider how Atget, Benjamin as well as Gursky utilise the aesthetic of the photographic document as a model for generating a criticism of society, new ways of perceiving the world, in addition to generating a sense of historical awareness for the observer of their work. Through particular subjects such as the industry of property development, tourism, as well as others, I explore how Athens has lost the inherent connection with its history and the cultural heritage that it is simultaneously trying to promote. Juxtaposing Athens with Old Paris, I consider how the historic parts of the city become destroyed in the interest of urban development, and argue that the present chaotic appearance of city is not only the product of its modern history, but also the outcome of capitalism as a world historic condition of our time.

description: Der Begriff „Künstliche Intelligenz“ (KI) suggeriert, dass Intelligenz maschinell generiert werden kann, derart, wie man künstliche Gelenke oder Kunstseide herstellen kann. Zuweilen macht sich eine Angst breit, die künstliche Intelligenz werde eines Tages die menschliche Intelligenz überflügeln, was zu ungeahnten Gefahren für die Menschheit werden kann. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird gezeigt, wo die Grenzen des Machbaren liegen und dass KI nur das bewerkstelligen kann, was menschliche Intelligenz in Maschinenprogramme umsetzen kann. Was ist der Grund dafür? Intelligenz und Information, die Basis aller KI, sind nicht-materielle Größen, die darum von materiellen Systemen nicht erzeugt werden können. Diese Mauer kann durch kein Artefakt übersprungen werden. Der Computer denkt nicht; er tut, was sein Name sagt: Er rechnet. Keine noch so gut programmierte Maschine wird selbst in der Lage sein, neue kreative Information hervorzubringen, weil hierzu ein geistiger Prozess vonnöten ist.

description: The skin forms an efficient barrier against the environment, and rapid cutaneous wound healing after injury is therefore essential. Healing of the uppermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, involves collective migration of keratinocytes, which requires coordinated polarization of the cells. To study this process, we developed a model that allows analysis of live-cell images of migrating keratinocytes in culture based on a small number of parameters, including the radius of the cells, their mass and their polarization. This computational approach allowed the analysis of cell migration at the front of the wound and a reliable identification and quantification of the impaired polarization and migration of keratinocytes from mice lacking fibroblast growth factors 1 and 2 an established model of impaired healing. Therefore, our modeling approach is suitable for large-scale analysis of migration phenotypes of cells with specific genetic defects or upon treatment with different pharmacological agents.

description: To evaluate the financial impact of utilizing rpFVIII or rFVIIa during a hospital admission for the diagnosis of acquired hemophilia A (AHA) by reviewing the margin between the cost to the hospital for providing care and the amount the hospital is reimbursed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in the US. Data source was the Medicare Limited Data Set, which contains claims for hospitalizations, charges, and amounts reimbursed by CMS. Study patients were hospitalized with AHA and treated with rpFVIII and/or rFVIIa between 1/1/2015 and 12/31/2019. CMS Fiscal Year 2020 Impact Files, with hospital-level cost-to-charge ratios (CCRs), were used to estimate hospital costs. Sensitivity analyses were conducted to estimate margins at different CCRs. Hospital margins were, on average, positive with use of either rpFVIII or rFVIIa (rpFVIII: $51,548.89; rFVIIa: $35,943.80). Sensitivity analysis results suggest that the use of rpFVIII is similiar, compared with rFVIIa for a large majority of hospitals. While there may be higher reimbursement for rpFVIII hospitalizations, this analysis suggests that the use of rpFVIII, compared to rFVIIa, may have no impact on hospital finances for the majority of hospitals, despite rpFVIII’s higher per unit cost.

description: Progestin-only contraceptives (POCs) are appropriate for many women who cannot or should not take estrogen. POCs include injectables, intrauterine contraception, implants, and oral contraceptives. Many POCs are long-acting, cost-effective methods of preventing pregnancy. However, concern about weight gain can deter the initiation of contraceptives and cause early discontinuation among users.

description: Der Beitrag diskutiert die Debatten, die der Sammelband Beißreflexe aufbrachte. Er verweist einerseits auf gefährliche Nähen zum Diskurs der Rechten, die sich die Beißreflexe-Autor*innen insbesondere durch ihren Schulterschluss mit der Zeitschrift EMMA einhandelten. Andererseits greift er den Impetus von Beißrefexe auf, Machtverhältnisse auch unter linken Aktivist*innen und gesellschaftlich Marginalisierten systematisch zu analysieren. Anhand des Buches Schwule Sichtbarkeiten (Çetin/Voß 2016) zeigt er, wie Wissenschaftler*innen, diese ohnehin oft in der öffentlichen Kritik stehenden Gruppen z.T. vor weiterer Kritik „verschonen“ und stattdessen Machtverhältnisse einseitig im Feld der Privilegierten beschreiben. Er problematisiert, dass dies die hegemonialen, in diesem Fall rassistischen, Kritiken „wahrer“ erscheinen lässt, da alternative Erklärungsangebote ausbleiben.

description: Gallstone diseases impose a significant economic burden on the health care system; thus, determining cost-effective management for gallstones is essential. We aim to estimate the cost-effectiveness of cholecystectomy compared with conservative management in individuals with uncomplicated symptomatic gallstones or cholecystitis in India. A decision-analytic Markov model was used to compare the costs and QALY of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC), delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC), and conservative management (CM) in patients with symptomatic uncomplicated gallstone/cholecystitis from an Indian health system perspective. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated. One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed to test parameter uncertainties. ELC and DLC, compared to CM, incurred an incremental cost of -₹10,948 ($146) and ₹1,054 ($14) for the 0.032 QALYs gained. The ICER was -₹3,42,758 ($4577) for ELC vs. CM, and ₹33,183 ($443) for DLC vs. CM, suggesting ELC and DLC are cost-effective. ELC saved ₹12,001 ($160) for 0.0002 QALYs gained compared to DLC, resulting in an ICER of -₹6,43,89,441 ($8,59,733). The results were robust to changes in the input parameters in sensitivity analyses. ELC is dominant compared to both DLC and CM, and DLC is more cost-effective than CM. Thus, ELC may be preferable to other gallstone disease managements.

description: Hyperkalemia is associated with increased healthcare resource utilization (HRU). This study evaluated the impact of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) use on HRU in outpatients with hyperkalemia. A retrospective noncomparative study using claims data from the HealthVerity warehouse, which included outpatients in the United States who initiated SZC between January and December 2019 (index date) with ≥6 months’ continuous coverage before (baseline) and after (follow-up) the index date (total coverage of 12 months). The study aimed to describe HRU with long-term and short-term SZC (defined as >90 and ≤90 days’ supply, respectively, during 180 days’ follow-up) and identify characteristics associated with long-term versus short-term therapy. Of 1153 patients, 748 (64.9%) received short-term and 405 (35.1%) received long-term therapy. During follow-up, lower proportions of patients on long-term versus short-term therapy had hyperkalemia-related hospitalizations (10.1% vs 15.1%; P < 0.05) and all-cause hospitalizations (22.5% vs 29.3%; P < 0.05). Hyperkalemia-related and all-cause hospitalization proportions were 33.0% and 23.3% lower, respectively. Predictors of long-term therapy included stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Approximately one-third of patients with hyperkalemia received long-term SZC therapy. Hyperkalemia-related and all-cause hospitalization proportions were lower with long-term therapy, although further confirmatory studies are needed.

description: In this work we analyse the properties of cosmic voids in standard and coupled dark energy cosmologies. Using large numerical simulations, we investigate the effects produced by the dark energy coupling on three statistics: the filling factor, the size distribution and the stacked profiles of cosmic voids. We find that the bias of the tracers of the density field used to identify the voids strongly influences the properties of the void catalogues, and, consequently, the possibility of using the identified voids as a probe to distinguish coupled dark energy models from the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology. In fact, on one hand coupled dark energy models are characterised by an excess of large voids in the cold dark matter distribution as compared to the reference standard cosmology, due to their higher normalisation of linear perturbations at low redshifts. Specifically, these models present an excess of large voids with $R_{eff}>20, 15, 12$ Mpc h^{-1}, at $z=0, 0.55, 1$, respectively. On the other hand, we do not find any significant difference in the properties of the void detected in the distribution of collapsed dark matter halos. These results imply that the tracer bias has a significant impact on the possibility of using cosmic void catalogues to probe cosmology.

Erst im Laufe der späten achtziger und verstärkt in den neunziger Jahren hat sich eine neue empirische Polizeiforschung etabliert, die zumeist mit qualitativen Methoden und externer Finanzierung neuerlich Forschung über die Polizei betreibt. Daneben hat sich auch innerhalb der Ausbildungs- und Forschungsinstitutionen der Polizei (insbesondere den Fachhochschulen und kriminologischen Forschungsstellen) eine institutionenkritische Forschung (beispielsweise zur Arbeitszufriedenheit der Polizist/ inn/en) herausgebildet. Auch die Auftragsforschung der Polizei hat sich für polizeikritische Themen (wie z.B. die Untersuchung fremdenfeindlicher Übergriffe) geöffnet. Diese Entwicklung wird in dem vorliegenden Papier - dem ersten Schritt zu einem empirischen Projekt - dokumentiert. Neben dieser Bestandsaufnahme wird abschließend eine mögliche Perspektive für weitere empirische (und theoretische) Forschungen vorgeschlagen.

description: We investigate in detail the Casimir torque induced by quantum vacuum fluctuations between two nanostructured plates. Our calculations are based on the scattering approach and take into account the coupling between different modes induced by the shape of the surface which are neglected in any sort of proximity approximation or effective medium approach. We then present an experimental setup aiming at measuring this torque.

description: Health economic outcomes of real-world treatment sequencing of androgen receptor-targeted agents (ARTA) and docetaxel (DOC) remain unclear. Data from the electronic Castration-resistant Prostate cancer Australian Database (ePAD) were analyzed including median overall survival (mOS) and median time-to-treatment failure (mTTF). Mean total costs (mTC) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) of treatment sequences were estimated using the average sample method and Zhao and Tian estimator. Of 752 men, 441 received ARTA, 194 DOC, and 175 both sequentially. Of participants treated with both, first-line DOC followed by ARTA was the more common sequence (n = 125, 71%). mOS for first-line ARTA was 8.38 years (95% CI: 3.48, not-estimated) vs. 3.29 years (95% CI: 2.92, 4.02) for DOC. mTTF was 15.7 months (95% CI: 14.2, 23.7) for the ARTA-DOC sequence and 18.2 months (95% CI: 16.2, 23.2) for DOC-ARTA. In first-line, ARTA cost an additional $13,244 per mTTF month compared to DOC. In second-line, ARTA cost $6726 per mTTF month. The DOC-ARTA sequence saved $2139 per mTTF compared to ARTA-DOC, though not statistically significant. ICERs show ARTA had improved clinical benefit compared to DOC but at higher cost. There were no significant cost differences between combined sequences.

description: In 1998 the Criminological Institute of Lower Saxony (KFN) carried out three extensive quantitative studies on juvenile violence: (1) A representative survey of the violence experienced and practised by young people of ninth-grade school age (minimum age 14 years and maximum age 18 years, mostly 15-16 years old). Until April 1999 data have been collected and analysed from 12,882 respondents in the towns and cities of Kiel, Hamburg, Hanover, Stuttgart, Schwäbisch Gmünd, Leipzig, Wunstorf and Lilienthal. (2) An analysis of all files from 1990, 1993 and 1996 of the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) in Hanover involving young persons under the age of 21 who were registered by the police as suspects for violent crimes. (3) A study of the development of crime in the same age group based on statistics kept by the police, DPPs and courts at federal and regional levels (in the Länder). This article presents and reviews the main findings of the three projects by putting forward eight certain key propositions.

Stop Decay with LSP Gravitino in the final state: $\tilde{t}_1\to\widetilde{G}\,W\,b$

description: In MSSM scenarios where the gravitino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), and therefore a viable dark matter candidate, the stop $\tilde{t}_1$ could be the next-to-lightest superpartner (NLSP). For a mass spectrum satisfying: $m_{\widetilde{G}}+m_t>m_{\tilde{t}_1}>m_{\widetilde{G}}+m_b+m_W$, the stop decay is dominated by the 3-body mode $\tilde{t}_1\rightarrow b\,W\,\tilde{G}$. We calculate the stop life-time, including the full contributions from top, sbottom and chargino as intermediate states. We also evaluate the stop lifetime for the case when the gravitino can be approximated by the goldstino state. Our analytical results are conveniently expressed using an expansion in terms of the intermediate state mass, which helps to identify the massless limit. In the region of low gravitino mass ($m_{\widetilde{G}}\ll m_{\tilde{t}_1}$) the results obtained using the gravitino and goldstino cases turns out to be similar, as expected. However for higher gravitino masses $m_{\widetilde{G}} \lesssim m_{\tilde{t}_1}$ the results for the lifetime could show a difference of O(100)\%.

description: STN1013001 is an innovative latanoprost cationic emulsion for open-angle glaucoma/ocular hypertension (OAG/OHT) and ocular surface disease (OSD). A 5-year, 7 health states, 1-year cycle early Markov model-supported cost-utility analysis (CUA) of STN1013001 vs. other latanoprost formulations (Latanoprost) followed the Italian National Health Service (INHS) perspective. One-way, probabilistic and scenario sensitivity analyses tested the uncertainty of the baseline results. Value of information analysis (VOIA) investigated the potential cost-effectiveness of collecting further evidence. Over 5 years, the Markov model-supported CUA predicts STN1013001 to be potentially highly cost-effective vs. Latanoprost (+€57.60 cost at €2020 values; +0.089 Quality-Adjusted Life Years). The Incremental Cost-Utility Ratio (€647.65) falls well below the lower limit of the acceptability range proposed for Italy (€25,000-€40,000). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the baseline findings. VOIA highlighted that further information might only be cost-effective for OAG/OHT utilities and OSD-related disutility. STN1013001 is potentially highly cost-effective and strongly dominant vs. Latanoprost for OAG/OHT+OSD patients from the INHS perspective. These findings should be re-assessed using the data from the ongoing Phase III trial (NCT04133311) comparing the efficacy and safety of STN1013001 vs. Latanoprost and with future real-world CUAs upon the availability of STN1013001 on the Italian market.

description: Implicit moral evaluations-i.e., immediate, unintentional assessments of the wrongness of actions or persons-play a central role in supporting moral behavior in everyday life. Yet little research has employed methods that rigorously measure individual differences in implicit moral evaluations. In five experiments, we develop a new sequential priming measure-the Moral Categorization Task-and a multinomial model that decomposes judgment on this task into multiple component processes. These include implicit moral evaluations of moral transgression primes (Unintentional Judgment), accurate moral judgments about target actions (Intentional Judgment), and a directional tendency to judge actions as morally wrong (Response Bias). Speeded response deadlines reduced Intentional Judgment but not Unintentional Judgment (Experiment 1). Unintentional Judgment was stronger toward moral transgression primes than non-moral negative primes (Experiments 2-4). Intentional Judgment was associated with increased error-related negativity, a neurophysiological indicator of behavioral control (Experiment 4). Finally, people who voted for an anti-gay marriage amendment had stronger Unintentional Judgment toward gay marriage primes (Experiment 5). Across Experiments 1-4, implicit moral evaluations converged with moral personality: Unintentional Judgment about wrong primes, but not negative primes, was negatively associated with psychopathic tendencies and positively associated with moral identity and guilt proneness. Theoretical and practical applications of formal modeling for moral psychology are discussed.

description: We show that, when boosted to the infinite momentum frame, the quark and gluon orbital angular momentum operators defined in the nucleon spin sum rule of X. S. Chen et al. are the same as those derived from generalized transverse momentum distributions. This completes the connection between the infinite momentum limit of each term in that sum rule and experimentally measurable observables. We also show that these orbital angular momentum operators can be defined locally, and discuss the strategies of calculating them in lattice QCD.

The effects of utterance timing and stimulation of left prefrontal cortex on the production of referential expressions
Creators: name: Arnold, Jennifer E.
name: Nozari, Nazbanou
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: We examined the relationship between the timing of utterance initiation and the choice of referring expressions, e.g., pronouns (it), zeros (…and went down), or descriptive NPs (the pink pentagon). We examined language production in healthy adults, and used anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to test the involvement of the left prefrontal cortex (PFC) on the timing of utterance production and the selection of reference forms in a discourse context. Twenty-two subjects (11 anodal, 11 sham) described fast-paced actions, e.g. The gray oval flashes, then it moves right 2 blocks. We only examined trials in contexts that supported pronoun/zero use. For sham participants, pronouns/zeros increased on trials with longer latencies to initiate the target utterance, and trials where the previous trial was short. We argue that both of these conditions enabled greater message pre-planning and greater discourse connectedness: The strongest predictor of pronoun/zero usage was the presence of a connector word like and or then, which was also tended to occur on trials with longer latencies. For the anodal participants, the latency effect disappeared. PFC stimulation appeared to enable participants to produce utterances with greater discourse connectedness, even while planning incrementally.

description: Talk given at University of Calgary, online, 28 March 2023 A Navigating DORA Webinar | Tuesday, March 28, 2023, 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. MT The quantification and oversimplification of academic success is harming scholarly communities in all disciplines. Scholarly metrics, such as the h-index or impact factor, are widely applied in academic tenure and funding decisions, but often inappropriately. This has created publication pressure, leading to a range of adverse effects and even scientific misconduct. Join UCalgary’s Knowledge Engagement team, and guest speaker Dr. Stefanie Haustein to discuss research evaluation, and the Metrics Literacies project. To improve the understanding and appropriate use of scholarly metrics, the Metrics Literacies project aims to aims to educate researchers and research administrators about scholarly metrics by developing, testing and disseminating educational videos to reduce the misuse of metrics in academia.
