description: The clinical learning environment is important in GP specialty training and impacts professional development. Uniquely for GP trainees, about half of their training periods occur in a hospital environment, which is not their final workplace. There is still little understanding of how hospital-based training influences GP's professional development. To seek the views of GP trainees on how their hospital experience contributes to their professional development as a GP. This international and qualitative study seeks the views of GP trainees from Belgium, Ireland, Lithuania, and Slovenia. Semi-structured interviews were performed in the original languages. A joint thematic analysis in the English language resulted in key categories and themes. From the four themes identified, GP trainees were found to experience additional challenges on top of the service provision/education tensions, which are common to all hospital trainees. Despite these, the hospital rotation component of GP training is valued by trainees. A strong finding of our study is the need to ensure that learning from the hospital placements is placed firmly in the context of general practice, e.g. GP placements prior or parallel with the hospital placements, educational activities resourced by GPs during their hospital experience, encouraging hospital teachers to have greater awareness of the educational needs of GPs, including an awareness of their training curriculum. This novel study highlights how hospital placements for GP trainees could be enhanced. Further study could be broadened to recently qualified GPs, which may uncover new areas of interest.

description: Cold storage has a significant role to maintain supply of potato throughout the year in a country and hence it can influence to reduce the seasonal price variations because in agriculture supply mainly regulates the price of commodities. This study was undertaken to investigate whether the cold storage can reduce the seasonal variation in prices of potato in Bangladesh. National data on monthly wholesale prices of potatoes (potato local, potato Holland white and red) were collected during the period from 1972 to 2018 from Department of Agricultural Marketing. Ratio to the moving average method was applied to measure the seasonal price indices between the two periods (before establishing sufficient capacity of cold storage and after establishing sufficient capacity of cold storage for storing potato in Bangladesh) for assessing whether the cold storage can reduce seasonal variation in prices of potato. From the study it was revealed that seasonal price variation of different varieties of potatoes became lower after establishing sufficient cold storage capacity (more than 30 per cent of total potato production from 1988 to 2018) in the country, i.e., there is an impact of cold storage in reducing the seasonal price variation of potato. Because price variations for individual months, coefficient of variation and range, all of them are lower after establishing sufficient capacity of cold storage. So, cold storages can reduce the seasonal variation in prices of potato. Government should facilitate more for establishing cold storage; these facilities can improve the seasonal price fluctuations of other vegetables also.

description: This thesis aims in enhancing the security of a federated Service Oriented Architecture, allowing safer communication of RESTful micro-services in the cloud. To achieve this goal, HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) or HTTP over TLS (Transport Layer Security) were incorporated in the communication of the micro-services. In each exposed service, TLS certificates were installed in order to encrypt the communication and guarantee the authenticity of the service. Emphasis was put on improving the mechanism for user authorization and authentication, when they access the system. Τhe authorization code grant of the OAuth 2.0 protocol and OpenID Connect were incorporated in the API of the system. The authorization code grant provides API security and reduces the chance of exposing user credentials, by utilizing scoped access tokens. OpenID Connect extends the OAuth 2.0 Protocol and provides enhanced user authentication, ID token validation, and SSO (Single Sign-On) functionality, amongst the federated architecture nodes. A series of experiments showed that the added security measures introduce delay into the system. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that different encryption algorithms and key lengths affect system performance.

Για την επίτευξη αυτού του στόχου, το HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) ή εναλλακτικά το HTTP μέσω TLS (Transport Layer Security) ενσωματώθηκε στην επικοινωνία των μικρο-υπηρεσιών. Σε κάθε εκτεθειμένη υπηρεσία, εγκαταστάθηκαν TLS πιστοποιητικά με σκοπό την κρυπτογράφηση της επικοινωνίας και την εγγύηση της αυθεντικότητάς της. Επιπλέον δόθηκε έμφαση στη βελτίωση του μηχανισμού έγκρισης και ελέγχου ταυτότητας των χρηστών κατα την πρόσβασή τους στο σύστημα. Η λειτουργία «παραχώρηση κωδικού εξουσιοδότησης» (authorization code grant) του πρωτοκόλλου OAuth 2.0 καθώς και το πρωτόκολλο OpenID Connect ενσωματώθηκαν στο API του συστήματος. Η παραχώρηση κωδικού εξουσιοδότησης ενισχύει την ασφάλεια του API και μειώνει την πιθανότητα έκθεσης διαπιστευτηρίων χρήστη. Το OpenID Connect επεκτείνει το πρωτόκολλο OAuth 2.0 και παρέχει βελτιωμένη πιστοποίηση χρηστών, χρησιμοποιώντας αναγνωριστικά τεκμήρια (tokens) που δίνουν πρόσβαση σε συγκεκριμένο εύρος πληροφοριών (scoped), επικύρωση των αναγνωριστικών τεκμηρίων και  την λειτουργικότητα SSO (Single Sign-On), μεταξύ των κόμβων της αρχιτεκτονικής. Μια ακολουθία πειραμάτων έδειξε ότι τα πρόσθετα μέτρα ασφαλείας εισάγουν καθυστέρηση στο σύστημα. Επιπλέον, επιδεικνύεται ότι διαφορετικοί αλγόριθμοι και μήκη κλειδιού κρυπτογράφησης επηρεάζουν την απόδοση του συστήματος.

description: An electroweak singlet scalar can couple to pairs of vector bosons through loop-induced dimension five operators. Compared to a Standard Model Higgs boson, the singlet decay widths in the diphotons and Z gamma channels are generically enhanced, while decays into massive final states like WW and ZZ are kinematically disfavored. The overall event rates into gamma gamma and Z gamma can exceed the Standard Model expectations by orders of magnitude. Such a singlet may appear as a resonant signal in the gamma gamma and Z gamma channels, even with a mass above the WW kinematic threshold.

description: Evaluation of a combination of antibiotics as an adjuvant therapy in acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). Patients with ASUC were randomized to either infusions of placebo or intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole in addition to standard care. Primary outcome was response on day three according to Oxford’s criteria. Secondary outcome measures included changes in partial Mayo score, CRP levels, fecal calprotectin (day three), and need for second-line therapy, hospital stay, and mortality (day 28). Fifty patients (25 in each group, median age: 33 years, 23 males) were included. The number of patients with fulminant disease in the antibiotic group were 16 (64%) as compared to 7 (28%) in the standard of care group. Complete response on day three was attained by 7 (28%) in the antibiotic and 6 (24%) standard of care group (p = 1.00). Three patients from the antibiotic group underwent colectomy and three received intravenous cyclosporine whereas four patients in the standard of care group received cyclosporine (p = 0.725). There was no significant difference in change in CRP, Partial Mayo score, and fecal calprotectin between the two groups on day three. Combination of intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole did not improve outcomes in ASUC. Acronym: AAASUC trial Registration Number: CTRI/2019/03/018196 and NCT03794765

Reading testimonio today : Central American literature from 1982 to the present
Creators: name: Thakkar, Upasana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This thesis argues that testimonio is above all a perspective from which to read a literary text: it is one way (among many) to understand or interpret a text. The thesis investigates the continued validity of this perspective in the twenty-first century, even as the genre of testimonio is apparently in decline in today’s neoliberal world in which the market governs the production and consumption of literary works. Written and read by would-be revolutionaries and their sympathizers during the resistance to military regimes, testimonio helped propagate the belief that the end of the struggle would bring social change. Texts such as Me llamo Rigoberta Menchú, Miguel Mármol, Si me permiten hablar, and others describe the oppression of military rule and outline the dream of forming a peaceful post-war society. However, in many cases post-war settlements brought disappointment and frustration to the people, leading to a new, more cynical ethos in contemporary literature, and the notion that testimonio (or any other literary tool) might bring social change came to seem an illusion. Against this dominant narrative, I read contemporary fiction and film from Central America (specifically, El Salvador and Guatemala) as testimonio, with a focus on aspects such as parody, transnationalism, and visuality. Contemporary Fictions such as El asco, Insensatez, The Tattooed Soldier, or Voces inocentes are examples that can be read as testimonio. Reading literary fiction from the perspective of testimonio will bypass much of the unproductive debate that surrounds the genre: the dichotomy between truth and lies, fact and fiction, authenticity and inauthenticity. The testimonio genre is trapped in this debate, which occludes the literariness of a text read as testimonio, on the one hand, and the testimonial aspects of literary texts, on the other.

description: We construct a modified on-shell BCFW recursion relation to derive compact analytic representations of tree-level amplitudes in QED. As an application, we study the amplitudes of a fermion pair coupling to an arbitrary number of photons and give compact formulae for the NMHV and NNMHV case. We demonstrate that the new recursion relation reduces the growth in complexity with additional photons to be exponential rather than factorial.

description: We propose a device in which the spin-polarized AC plasmon mode in the surface state of a topological insulator nanostructure induces a static spin accumulation in a resonant, normal metal structure coupled to it. Using a finite-difference time-domain model, we simulate this spin-pump mechanism with drift, diffusion, relaxation, and precession in a magnetic field. This optically-driven system can serve as a DC "spin battery" for spintronic devices.

description: We use weak lensing data from the Hubble Space Telescope COSMOS survey to measure the second- and third-moments of the cosmic shear field, estimated from about 450,000 galaxies with average redshift ~ 1.3. We measure two- and three-point shear statistics using a tree-code, dividing the signal in E, B and mixed components. We present a detection of the third-order moment of the aperture mass statistic and verify that the measurement is robust against systematic errors caused by point spread function (PSF) residuals and by the intrinsic alignments between galaxies. The amplitude of the measured three-point cosmic shear signal is in very good agreement with the predictions for a WMAP7 best-fit model, whereas the amplitudes of potential systematics are consistent with zero. We make use of three sets of large Lambda CDM simulations to test the accuracy of the cosmological predictions and to estimate the influence of the cosmology-dependent covariance. We perform a likelihood analysis using the measurement and find that the Omega_m-sigma_8 degeneracy direction is well fitted by the relation: sigma_8 (Omega_m/0.30)^(0.49)=0.78+0.11/-0.26. We present the first measurement of a more generalised three-point shear statistic and find a very good agreement with the WMAP7 best-fit cosmology. The cosmological interpretation of this measurement gives sigma_8 (Omega_m/0.30)^(0.46)=0.69 +0.08/-0.14. Furthermore, the combined likelihood analysis of this measurement with the measurement of the second order moment of the aperture mass improves the accuracy of the cosmological constraints, showing the high potential of this combination of measurements to infer cosmological constraints.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Objectives: To conduct an environmental scan of unmet dental treatment needs and patterns of dental service utilization of People Living with Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWHIV) in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Methods: An online environmental scan identified services available for PLWHIV in BC. Participants were asked to respond anonymously to a 40-item questionnaire. Associations between the psychosocial factors and outcome variables were evaluated using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results: A total of 104 HIV organizations were identified in BC and less than 3% of the organizations offered dental care. Most of the services identified were distributed within the geographical location of Vancouver Coastal Health which has the highest prevalence of PLHIV in BC. Amongst the 186 participants who responded to the survey, majority of the respondents were male (n = 118; 63%) and were born in Canada (n = 116; 68%). Approximately 40% (n = 74) rated the health of their mouth as fair/poor and 60% (n = 112) reported having one or more unmet dental treatment need. In multiple logistic regression analysis, dental anxiety (OR = 0.1; 95% CI 0.0; 0.4), having a regular dentist (OR = 3.7; 95% CI 1.1; 12.6) and visiting a dental office in the last year (OR = 21.6; 95% CI 6.1; 76.5) were the strongest predictors for the unmet dental treatment needs and last dental visit. Conclusion: Services in general might be available where PLHIV live, but fall short in other areas; dental services are lacking across BC despite participants having high treatment needs.

description: Mobile payment services are spreading in Bangladesh like a spider net with the development of information and communication technology (ICT) and ubiquitous internet access. The present study was conducted to explore the influencing factors of e-commerce transaction through mobile payment services and to investigate the customer experiences with the services where sources of satisfaction and dissatisfaction were identified. Data were collected from 240 users of mobile payment services through field survey during March to April in 2020 by purposive sampling method from Mymensingh and Sylhet Districts. The main satisfaction sources those emerged from the content analysis were, in descending order of incidents: convenience, problem solving, offer and discount, security and trust, and efficacy. On the other hand, complexity and network failure were the main reasons of customer dissatisfaction with mobile payment services. The findings of the multiple linear regression models revealed that age, education, monthly income and residential area had statistically significant effect on monthly e-commerce transaction over mobile payment services. Young people were more prone to use mobile payment services than older. People with higher education transacted less money over mobile payment services. Higher income earner transacted more money over mobile payment services. People live in urban area used the services frequently and transacted more money. The service providers should increase their availability and more advertisements are required to be placed at every possible means of medium in order to aware people about mobile payment services. Building trust among the users and feel them secured are also crying need to develop this sector at a faster way in near future.

description: Adaptation assists farmers to cope with climate change by reducing adverse effect and increasing productivity of agricultural production. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of climate change adaptation strategies on production efficiency of selected pulse crops in Bangladesh. A total of 100(50 chickpea and 50 lentil farmers) pulse growers were selected. A multistage random sampling technique was followed to select the sample farmers. Descriptive statistics and statistical analytical tools such as multinomial logit model and stochastic frontier production function were used. The most common strategy followed in the study areas was increased insecticides or pesticides application (90%) due to climate change. Farmers also followed more doses of fertilizer application (85%), crop diversification (60%), change in land under pulse cultivation (25%), land fragmentation (3%), relay cropping (6%) and seed treatment (11%) as main adaptation strategies to climate change. Climate change awareness had positive, farm size had negative but connection to extension services had both positive and negative significant relationship with choosing and using different climate change adaptation strategies in chickpea cultivation. Education, climate change awareness and extension contact had significant positive relationship and farm size had both positive and negative significant relationship with choosing and using different climate change adaptation strategies in lentil cultivation. Seed had negative and other agrochemicals had positive and significant effect on the yield of both pulses. Average technical efficiency of the farmers was 0.83 and 0.82 for chickpea and lentil respectively implies that there is a scope of increasing productivity of chickpea and lentil by 17% and 18% respectively using current level of inputs only by increasing the farmers’ efficiency. Adaptation strategy multiple planting dates had positive and significant effect on technical inefficiency of chickpea growers. Adaptation strategy relay cropping had negative and significant effect on technical inefficiency of lentil growers. Pulse production efficiency can be increased by eliminating the constraints to adopt climate change adaptation strategies.

description: The physical and ecological attributes of wetlands are important in their economic and biological usefulness. To this end, this research answers questions such as: what are the attributes of the wetland in the study area? Do the wetland attributes have influence on food security status of the households? The study was conducted in the wetlands of Ogun River and its tributaries located in the South-western Nigeria. Primary data were collected through the use of personally administered questionnaire and interview. Two stage sampling technique was used in selecting 633 households included in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive techniques; United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) food security module and binary Logit model. The result revealed that wetlands of upper Ogun have abundance of all wetland attributes examined. Food security situation in households with children was not different from those without children. Majority of wetland residents’ households were not food secure leaving about a quarter as food secured. All the eight wetland attributes examined in this study had potential of increasing food security among wetland households as food security was constituently higher in wetlands with abundance of these attributes as against where they are limited. Socio-economic characteristics and wetland attributes have influence on food security status of households. The study therefore recommends that wetlands that are deep and free flowing with unobstructed water ways should be developed by government, international development agencies and non-governmental organizations so as to improve food security status in wetlands areas.

description: We report on some unusual behavior of the measured current-voltage characteristics (CVC) in artificially prepared two-dimensional unshunted array of overdamped Nb-AlO_x-Nb Josephson junctions. The obtained nonlinear CVC are found to exhibit a pronounced (and practically temperature independent) crossover at some current I_{cr}=\left(\frac{1}{2β_C}-1\right)I_C from a resistance R dominated state with V_R=R\sqrt{I^2-I_C^2} below I_{cr} to a capacitance C dominated state with V_C=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{4eC}} \sqrt{I-I_C} above I_{cr}. The origin of the observed behavior is discussed within a single-plaquette approximation assuming the conventional RSJ model with a finite capacitance and the Ambegaokar-Baratoff relation for the critical current of the single junction.

El pensamiento crítico es una habilidad que no se puede enseñar por métodos tradicionales, sino que se hace necesario el dar espacios que permitan poner en práctica aquellos elementos que lo conforman. Nuestro trabajo presenta un marco de trabajo que busca el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en estudiantes de ingeniería del primer semestre a través de actividades de alfabetización informacional. La propuesta está enmarcada en los cinco estándares de Alfabetización Informacional propuestos por la American Library Association (ACRL) a través de cuatro fases de trabajo dentro de un curso introductorio de estudios generales. Las fases junto con las actividades son analizadas de acuerdo al marco de trabajo de pensamiento crítico Paul-Elder. Si bien la propuesta de enseñanza de alfabetización informacional ha sido incorporada desde el año 2019, es recién en el 2020 que se ha realizado la articulación con el pensamiento crítico, es esta característica hace que este trabajo sea de tipo exploratorio. Consideramos que los primeros resultados nos permiten proponer un marco de trabajo inicial que permita desarrollar no solo la alfabetización informacional sino también desarrollar en una etapa inicial el pensamiento crítico. La estructuración de las fases y las actividades hace que nuestra propuesta pueda ser adaptada y replicada en otras ingenierías.

description: Η διπλωματική εργασία αφορά στην αποκατάσταση και την αξιοποίηση  του ημιτελούς σανατορίου στο Λουτράκι Μαλεβιζίου ως μονάδα φιλοξενίας και φροντίδας ανθρώπων τρίτης ηλικίας για μόνιμη ή προσωρινή διαμονή με στόχο την ενίσχυση του δικτύου υποστήριξης ηλικιωμένων του δήμου. Παράλληλα, αντλώντας έμπνευση από τα ιστορικά και φυσικά στοιχεία της τοποθεσίας αλλά και τις αντιθέσεις /δίπολα που παρατηρούνται στο φυσικό τοπίο της περιοχής, προτείνεται η δημιουργία ενός κέντρου ευεξίας με λουτρικές εγκαταστάσεις το οποίο θα λειτουργεί συμπληρωματικά για την ενίσχυση της σωματικής και ψυχικής υγείας των ηλικιωμένων συνδράμοντας συγχρόνως στην αναβίωση της ταυτότητας του οικισμού. Το νέο κτήριο μέσω της διακριτικότητας, της λιτότητας και των συγγενών υλικών εστιάζει στην αφομοίωση του από το φυσικό τοπίο συμβάλλοντας στην ανάδειξη του υφιστάμενου κτηρίου και στην διατήρηση  της επιβλητικότητάς του. Σκοπός της πρότασης είναι η δημιουργία ενός νέου, φιλόξενου τόπου όπου λόγω της συγκέντρωσης και της συμπύκνωσης των διαφορετικών φυσικών στοιχείων, άμεσα και έμμεσα, επιτυγχάνεται ενότητα ανθρώπου και φύσης. Επιπλέον, μέσω της πρότασης δίνεται μία ευχάριστη πνοή στον οικισμό, ενισχύεται η τοπική κοινότητα και διατηρείται η σύνδεση με την ιστορία.

description: The objective of the study is to find out the factors behind the supply, demand and thereby prices of potato and explore the existence of syndicate in the market. The study is mainly based on secondary data. Additionally, some qualitative data were collected through FGD and KII from Bogura, Rangpur and Munshiganj areas. The area, production and yield of potato grew by 4.58%, 6.61% and 1.95%, respectively per annum since independence. The production of HYV potato rose sharply, while local one rose at a slower pace. Potato production exhibits high fluctuation with roughly three years’ cycle, which sharply decreased in the recent past. The nominal prices of potato witnessed upward trend, while real prices experienced downward trend since independence. There exists wide seasonal price variation of potato with the lowest price in March and the highest in December. Potato market seemingly integrated as prices at all levels move together. The rising trend of potato prices seems to be halted after re-fixing prices by DAM. Real prices displayed wide price variation as volatility index stands at 73.16%. The total surplus of potatoes in 2020 stands at 3.40 lakh MT which is much lower than the previous years. The profit earned by the potato growers was estimated at around Tk. 1.1 million /ha. The estimated DRC implies that Bangladesh had comparative advantage in potato production for export promotion. In 2020, 73% capacity of 392 cold storages in operation is utilized. It is concluded that main cause of the price hike was the artificial crisis created by some profit seeking traders rather than the low production and higher consumption of potato in the country. Fixation of price, regular market monitoring and taking legal action to the artificial crisis creators may be the way of avoiding unexpected price hike of potato in the country.

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis A review of potential risk factors of Oral Contraceptive, Pregnancy and Puerperium
Creators: name: Wimmer, Ramona
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis, Data collection of cerebral venous Sinus Thrombosis, causes of CVST, Oral Contraceptives causes CVST, Pregnancy and Puerperium causes CVST

description: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) has been reported as a dangerous side effect of AstraZeneca Covid19 vaccination and brought this disease back into the spotlight. Although this disease is considered uncommon in the literature, it was already first described in1825. CVST is rare form of a stroke, which has a broad spectrum of signs, with headache being the most common indication. Apart from the side effect of the vaccine, a literature search revealed that studies found statistical correlations between the disease and an increased risk from taking oral contraceptives or during pregnancy and the puerperium, but these were limited by the small amount of data. Diagnosis can be detected with Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and Computed tomography (CT), but there are currently no standard treatments. Fortunately, the mortality rate is low, and a complete recovery is predicted in 80-90% of cases. It was concluded that further research is needed to address this correlation to be taken seriously.

Weaker entanglement guarantees stronger entanglement

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The monogamy of entanglement is one of the basic quantum mechanical features, which says that when two partners Alice and Bob are more entangled then either of them has to be less entangled with the third party. Here we qualitatively present the converse monogamy of entanglement: given a tripartite pure system and when Alice and Bob are weakly entangled, then either of them is generally strongly entangled with the third party. Our result leads to the classification of tripartite pure states based on bipartite reduced density operators, which is a novel and effective way to this long-standing problem compared to the means by stochastic local operations and classical communications. We also systematically indicate the structure of the classified states and generate them.

description: n this letter we investigate the various processes that can contribute to a final state consisting of a lepton, missing transverse momentum and two jets at Next to Leading Order (NLO) at the Tevatron. In particular we consider the production of W/Z + 2 jets, diboson pairs, single top and the tt process with both fully leptonic and semi-leptonic decays. We present distributions for the invariant mass of the dijet system and normalisations of the various processes, accurate to NLO.
