description: Abstract Objectives This study sought to determine if low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) is associated with incident heart failure (HF) and if the association is: 1) partly mediated by traditional cardiovascular risk factors; 2) stronger among whites than blacks; and 3) stronger among those genetically predisposed to having high levels of vitamin D binding protein (DBP).Background Suboptimal 25(OH)D is a potential cardiovascular risk factor.Methods A total of 12,215 ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study participants free of HF at baseline (1990 to 1992; median age, 56; 24% black) were followed through 2010. Total serum 25(OH)D was measured at baseline using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Incident HF events were identified by a hospital discharge code of ICD9-428 and parallel International Classification of Diseases codes for HF deaths.Results During 21 years of follow-up, 1,799 incident HF events accrued. The association between 25(OH)D and HF varied by race (p-interaction = 0.02). Among whites, risk was 2-fold higher for those in the lowest (≤17 ng/ml) versus highest (≥31 ng/ml) quintile of 25(OH)D. The association was attenuated but remained significant with covariate adjustment. In blacks there was no overall association. In both races, those with low 25(OH)D and the rs7041 G allele, which predisposes to high DBP, were at greater risk (p-interaction = 0.01).Conclusions Low serum 25(OH)D was independently associated with incident HF among whites, but not among blacks. However, in both races, low 25(OH)D was associated with HF risk among those genetically predisposed to high DBP. These findings provide novel insight into metabolic differences that may underlie racial variation in the association between 25(OH)D and cardiovascular risk.

description: The bipolar, nonthermal, high-latitude lobes known as the Fermi bubbles (FBs) are thought to originate from a massive energy release near the Galactic centre (GC). We constrain the FB engine and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) by analytically and numerically modeling the FB edges as strong forward shocks, as inferred from recent observations. A non-directed energy release produces shocks too spherical to account for observations even for a maximally massive Galactic disc, critical CGM rotation, or injection effectively offset from the GC. In contrast, collimated injection nearly perpendicular to the disc can account for observations in both ballistic (free expansion) and slowdown regimes, as we show using a simple stratified evolution model verified by hydrodynamic simulations. FBs still in their ballistic regime require injection (at $z\simeq100$ pc heights in our model) with a half-opening angle $θ\simeq4^\circ$, a normalized velocity $β_{-2}\equiv v/(0.01c)\gtrsim 0.4$, and an energy $E\gtrsim2β_{-2}^2\times 10^{55}$ erg, launched $\mathbb{T}\simeq 3.3β_{-2}^{-1}$ Myr ago, showing a distinctive low-pressure region behind the bubble head. Slowing-down (mass accumulated) FBs require a faster injection, a thinner jet, a smaller $E/(β_{-2}θ)^{2}$, and a comparable $\mathbb{T}$, and follow a ballistic stage that must reach a height $z_{s}\gtrsim 5$ kpc.

Dieses Modell vermittelt eine theoretische Vorstellung davon, welche Teilprozesse beim Verfassen von Texten eine Rolle spielen und wie diese zusammenwirken. Im weiteren untersuchten wir, inwiefern sich Schülerinnen und Schüler des 5. und 9. Schuljahres und Erwachsene sowie - bezogen auf jede der drei Altersgruppen - experten- und novizenhate Textverfasserinnen und -verfasser in ihrem Wissen über den Textproduktionsprozess und seine Steuerung voneinander unterscheiden. Diese Diagnose vermittelt ein realistisches Verständnis davon, was Textverfasserinnen und -verfasser darüber wissen, wie Textproduktionsaufgaben bewältigt werden können. Auf der Grundlage des "Orchester-Modells" der Textproduktion und der Ergebnisse der Diagnose entwickelten wird einen Intervention zur Förderung der Textproduktionskomptenz von Schülerinnen und Schülern. Solche Teilprozesse des Textverfassens, die sich als schwach entwickelt herausgestellt hatten, bildeten die Schwerpunkte der Intervention. [weiter S. 203]

description: Aim: to explore experiences of being mentored and the contribution of the mentoring to leadership and professional development of doctorally prepared nurses and doctoral nursing students participating in the Nurse-Lead programme. Background: Mentoring is considered important for career development of academic nurses. Doctorally prepared nurses need a wide range of professional competences to develop sustainable careers. Therefore, they may benefit from a larger network of mentors, outside their own organization, to support their professional development. Therefore, a web-based leadership and mentoring programme was developed - the Nurse Lead programme. Design: A descriptive study with semi-structured focus groups. Method: Three focus groups were conducted during an on-site programme meeting in 2019 with twenty-one doctorally prepared nurses and doctoral nursing students. The interview guide included questions about mentoring relationships and meaning of mentoring for leadership and professional development. The interviews were thematically analysed. Results: Five themes were identified: “Preferred characteristics of mentors”, “Developing trusting relationships”, “Engagement of the mentors”, “Becoming a proficient researcher and team leader” and “Becoming an empowered and confident professional”. Conclusion: Mentoring supported the leadership and professional development of doctorally prepared nurses and doctoral nursing students. Participants were engaged in rewarding mentoring trajectories. The results indicate that a similar approach could be followed when developing mentoring programmes in the future.

description: Strict adherence to medication regimens is generally required to obtain optimal response to combination antiretroviral therapy (ART). Yet, we have made limited progress in developing strategies to decrease the prevalence of nonadherence. As we work to understand adherence in developed countries, the introduction of ART in resource-poor settings raises novel challenges. Qualitative research is a scientific approach that uses methods such as observation, interviews, and verbal interactions to gather rich in-depth information about how something is experienced. It seeks to understand the beliefs, values, and processes underlying behavioral patterns. Qualitative methods provide powerful tools for understanding adherence. Culture-specific influences, medication beliefs, access, stigma, reasons for nonadherence, patterns of medication taking, and intervention fidelity and measurement development are areas ripe for qualitative inquiry. A disregard for the social and cultural context of adherence or the imposition of adherence models inconsistent with local values and practices is likely to produce irrelevant or ineffective interventions. Qualitative methods remain underused in adherence research. We review appropriate qualitative methods for and provide an overview of the qualitative research on ART nonadherence. We discuss the rationales for using qualitative methods, present 2 case examples illustrating their use, and discuss possible institutional barriers to their acceptance.

description: The weighted shifts are long known and important class of operators. One of known generalisation of this class are weighted shifts on directed trees, where we replace the linear order of coordinates in $\ell^2$ with a possibly more sophisticated graph structure. In this paper we focus on the question whether a weighted shift on a directed tree admits a subnormal or just power hyponormal (i.e. all powers of the operator are hyponormal) backward extension (a shift on larger directed tree). It comes out that in both cases the question whether we can obtain "joint extension" for a family of trees does not depend on any deep interrelations between the given trees but on their own "extendability" only. We introduce a generalised framework of weighted shifts on directed forests which seems to be slightly more convenient to work with. The characterisation of all the leafless directed forests on which all hyponormal weighted shifts are power hyponormal is also given.

description: Background: Schools and faculties of pharmacy are responsible for selecting students to admit into the profession. Despite many similarities, admission processes, pharmacists’ training, and scope of practice are different across jurisdictions. Students that are selected for admission may then differ in a number of ways, including by personality traits and other individual difference measures. Objective: To compare the trait characteristics between students entering a New Zealand (NZ-University of Otago) and Canadian ((University of Waterloo) pharmacy programme and to compare their professional goals and role perceptions. Methods: Incoming first year students at each university were invited to take an online questionnaire that included personality characteristics and potential predictors of involvement in pharmacists’ roles: (1) the Big Five Inventory (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism); (2) the Achievement Goals Questionnaire-Revised; (3) the Rational Experiential Inventory; and (4) Counsellor Role Orientation. Statistical tests were conducted to determine if there were differences between entry level pharmacy students from NZ and Canada.Results: 184 students (97/150 Otago, 87/118 Waterloo) completed the survey. On average, Waterloo students scored higher on agreeableness (M = 80 vs. 76, p = 0.06), conscientiousness (M = 70 vs. 68, p = 0.30), mastery-approach (M = 93 vs.90, p = 0.06), and faith-in-intuition (M = 67 vs. 61, p = 0.03) compared to Otago pharmacy students who were higher for openness M = 70 vs. 66, p = 0.09). An item measuring reliance on physicians for medicine advice was endorsed more by Otago pharmacy students (M = 35 vs. M = 15, p < 0.001). Items on time pressure (e.g., “It takes too much time to for a pharmacist to talk with a patient about the medication they receive”) were higher for Otago students (M = 41 vs. M = 38, p = 0.26). Higher scores for pharmacist restriction (“There should be legal restrictions on what pharmacists can tell patients”) were also seen among Otago students (M = 26 vs. M = 12, p < 0.001). There were important differences between entry level pharmacy students and practicing pharmacists in both jurisdictions.Discussion: While entry-level pharmacy students had similar personality profiles, differences were observed in role expectations and in experiential learning orientation. This highlights differing societal views on the role of pharmacists in each respective country. Pharmacy schools should study their student bodies when designing their curricula and electives, helping ensure graduates feel like they have the training to do what they need to do. Future work will determine if these personality and learning goals influence students’ preparation for practice.

description: Cancer development is a multistep process often starting with a single cell in which a number of epigenetic and genetic alterations have accumulated thus transforming it into a tumor cell. The progeny of such a single benign tumor cell expands in the tissue and can at some point progress to malignant tumor cells until a detectable tumor is formed. The dynamics from the early phase of a single cell to a detectable tumor with billions of tumor cells are complex and still not fully resolved, not even for the well-known prototype of multistage carcinogenesis, the adenoma-adenocarcinoma sequence of colorectal cancer. Mathematical models of such carcinogenesis are frequently tested and calibrated based on reported age-specific incidence rates of cancer, but they usually require calibration of four or more parameters due to the wide range of processes these models aim to reflect. We present a cell-based model, which focuses on the competition between wild-type and tumor cells in colonic crypts, with which we are able reproduce epidemiological incidence rates of colon cancer. Additionally, the fraction of cancerous tumors with precancerous lesions predicted by the model agree with clinical estimates. The correspondence between model and reported data suggests that the fate of tumor development is majorly determined by the early phase of tumor growth and progression long before a tumor becomes detectable. Due to the focus on the early phase of tumor development, the model has only a single fit parameter, the time scale set by an effective replacement rate of stem cells in the crypt. We find this effective rate to be considerable smaller than the actual replacement rate, which implies that the time scale is limited by the processes succeeding clonal conversion of crypts.

description: Nanoparticles levitated by optical fields under vacuum conditions have applications in quantum science, the study of nanothermodynamics and precision sensing. Existing techniques for loading optical traps require ambient conditions, and often involve dispersion in liquids, which can contaminate delicate optics and lead to enhanced optical absorption and heating. Here we present a clean, dry and generic mechanism for directly loading optical traps at pressures down to 1\,mbar, exploiting Laser Induced Acoustic Desorption. Our method allows rapid and efficient trapping, and is also suitable for site-selective loading of nanofabricated particles grown on a silicon substrate.

description: Diurnal temperature range is an important variable in climate science that can provide information regarding climate variability and climate change. Changes in diurnal temperature range can have implications for hydrology, human health and ecology, among others. Yet, the statistical literature on modelling diurnal temperature range is lacking. In this paper we propose to model the distribution of diurnal temperature range using the five-parameter lambda (FPL) distribution. Additionally, in order to model diurnal temperature range with explanatory variables, we propose a distributional quantile regression model that combines quantile regression with marginal modelling using the FPL distribution. Inference is performed using the method of quantiles. The models are fitted to 30 years of daily observations of diurnal temperature range from 112 weather stations in the southern part of Norway. The flexible FPL distribution shows great promise as a model for diurnal temperature range, and performs well against competing models. The distributional quantile regression model is fitted to diurnal temperature range data using geographic, orographic and climatological explanatory variables. It performs well and captures much of the spatial variation in the distribution of diurnal temperature range in Norway.

description: Despite much discussion in HCI research about how individual differences likely determine computer users' personal information management (PIM) practices, the extent of the influence of several important factors remains unclear, including users' personalities, spatial abilities, and the different software used to manage their collections. We therefore analyse data from prior CHI work to explore (1) associations of people's file collections with personality and spatial ability, and (2) differences between collections managed with different operating systems and file managers. We find no notable associations between users' attributes and their collections, and minimal predictive power, but do find considerable and surprising differences across operating systems. We discuss these findings and how they can inform future research.

description: The main aim of this study was to find out the influence of research innovation on application of research skills among University lecturers in South-South Zone of Nigeria. The population of the study was 3033 lecturers in three Universities. The independent variable was research innovations (government funding and ICT research practices) and the dependent variable was application of research (sub-divided into nine and overall). To achieve the purpose of the study two null hypotheses were formulated and tested. Ex-post facto design was used. Stratified sample techniques was deployed to sample five hundred and fifty (550) lecturers in three university. Data were collected using Research Innovation and Application of Research Skills Questionnaire (RIBARSQ). The hypotheses were tested at .05 Alpha level suing population t-test and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Fisher's Least significant difference t-test were applied where appropriate. The results obtained showed that lecturers' application of research skills was significantly influenced by ICT practices where government funding does not significantly influence application of research skills. From the results, it was concluded that research innovation has improved lecturers research skills. It was recommended that lecturers should undertake computer and ICT practice programmes as these will improve their skills in use of computer in data analysis and formatting of research works. These will also improve on the use of required font size as required by the editors and publishing houses.

description: Controlled topical vocabularies (CVs) are built into information systems to aid browsing and retrieval of items that may be unfamiliar, but it is unclear how this feature should be integrated with standard keyword searching. Few systems or scholarly prototypes have attempted this, and none have used the most widely used CV, the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), which organizes monograph collections in academic libraries throughout the world. This paper describes a working prototype of a Web application that concurrently allows topic exploration using an outline tree view of the LCSH hierarchy and natural language keyword searching of a real-world Science and Engineering bibliographic collection. Pilot testing shows the system is functional, and work to fit the complex LCSH structure into a usable hierarchy is ongoing. This study contributes to knowledge of the practical design decisions required when developing linked interactions between topical hierarchy browsing and natural language searching, which promise to facilitate information discovery and exploration.

description: We develop the theory of double multiplicative Poisson vertex algebras. These structures, defined at the level of associative algebras, are shown to be such that they induce a classical structure of multiplicative Poisson vertex algebra on the corresponding representation spaces. Moreover, we prove that they are in one-to-one correspondence with local lattice double Poisson algebras, a new important class among Van den Bergh's double Poisson algebras. We derive several classification results, and we exhibit their relation to non-abelian integrable differential-difference equations. A rigorous definition of double multiplicative Poisson vertex algebras in the non-local and rational cases is also provided.

description: A recommender system learns to predict the user-specific preference or intention over many items simultaneously for all users, making personalized recommendations based on a relatively small number of observations. One central issue is how to leverage three-way interactions, referred to as user-item-stage dependencies on a monotonic chain of events, to enhance the prediction accuracy. A monotonic chain of events occurs, for instance, in an article sharing dataset, where a ``follow'' action implies a ``like'' action, which in turn implies a ``view'' action. In this article, we develop a multistage recommender system utilizing a two-level monotonic property characterizing a monotonic chain of events for personalized prediction. Particularly, we derive a large-margin classifier based on a nonnegative additive latent factor model in the presence of a high percentage of missing observations, particularly between stages, reducing the number of model parameters for personalized prediction while guaranteeing prediction consistency. On this ground, we derive a regularized cost function to learn user-specific behaviors at different stages, linking decision functions to numerical and categorical covariates to model user-item-stage interactions. Computationally, we derive an algorithm based on blockwise coordinate descent. Theoretically, we show that the two-level monotonic property enhances the accuracy of learning as compared to a standard method treating each stage individually and an ordinal method utilizing only one-level monotonicity. Finally, the proposed method compares favorably with existing methods in simulations and an article sharing dataset.

title: Ανάλυση παραγόντων αποχώρησης εργαζομένων με χρήση της μεθόδου fs/QCA
title: Employee attrition factors analysis using fs/QCA method
Creators: name: Καντουνατακη Σοφια

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η πρόταση ενός μεθοδολογικού πλαισίου που θα είναι σε θέση να εντοπίζει αιτιώδη μονοπάτια (ικανές και αναγκαίες συνθήκες) που οδηγούν στην αποχώρηση των εργαζομένων (employee attrition) μέσω της Ποιοτικής Συγκριτικής Ανάλυσης με ασαφή σύνολα (fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis – fs/QCA), και να προτείνει πιθανούς τρόπους αποφυγής. Επίσης, εφαρμόζεται ο αλγόριθμος Apriori (ως αντιπροσωπευτικό παράδειγμα Association rules mining) για σύγκριση και έλεγχο ευρωστίας (robustness test) των αποτελεσμάτων των δυο μεθόδων.
Τα δεδομένα που πρόκειται να αναλυθούν προέρχονται από ένα τεχνητό dataset που δημιουργήθηκε για έναν διαγωνισμό της Kaggle, και αποτελούν αντιπροσωπευτικό δείγμα αντίστοιχων πραγματικών dataset. Κύριο χαρακτηριστικό του συγκεκριμένου dataset είναι η άνιση κατανομή των δύο κλάσεων, αποχωρήσαντων και μη εργαζομένων. (imbalanced class distribution).
	Η μέθοδος fs/QCA βασίζεται στη θεωρία των ασαφών συνόλων και στη χρήση της Boolean άλγεβρας για να εντοπίσει αιτιώδεις συνθήκες/κριτήρια (ή συνδυασμούς αυτών), οι οποίες θα είναι αναγκαίες ή/και ικανές για την παρουσία του αποτελέσματος (αποχώρηση από την εταιρεία). Μετά την αρχική εφαρμογή της μεθόδου, θα χρησιμοποιηθεί η τεχνική Undersampling για την αντιμετώπιση της άνισης κατανομής των κλάσεων, με στόχο την βελτίωση των αποτελεσμάτων, καθώς και ο έλεγχος Χ2  για την περαιτέρω ανάλυση των αναγκαίων συνθηκών που προκύπτουν.
H εξόρυξη κανόνων συσχέτισης (association rules)  χρησιμοποιεί μοντέλα μηχανικής μάθησης για να αναζητήσει σε βάσεις δεδομένων συγκεκριμένα μοτίβα. Ο αλγόριθμος Apriori (Agrawal & Srikant, 1994) που χρησιμοποιείται στην παρούσα εργασία είναι ένας από τους πρώτους και πιο δημοφιλείς αλγόριθμους εύρεσης κανόνων συσχέτισης.
Τα συμπεράσματα επικεντρώνονται στις αιτίες αποχώρησης των εργαζομένων από την εταιρεία, με την εξαγωγή κανόνων (αιτιωδών μονοπατιών), δίνοντας με αυτόν τον τρόπο τη δυνατότητα στην εκάστοτε εταιρεία να εντοπίσει τα δυνατά και τα αδύναμα σημεία της, καθώς και να προσδιορίσει αυτά που χρήζουν βελτίωσης, ώστε να αποτρέπεται η φυγή των εργαζομένων.
A Force Explosion Condition for Spherically Symmetric Core-collapse Supernovae

description: Understanding which stars explode leaving behind neutron stars and which stars collapse forming black holes remains a fundamental astrophysical problem. We derive an analytic explosion condition for spherically symmetric core-collapse supernovae. The derivation starts with the exact governing equations, considers the balance of integral forces, includes the important dimensionless parameters, and includes an explicit set of self-consistent approximations. The force explosion condition is $\tilde{L}_ντ_g - 0.06 \tildeκ > 0.38$, and only depends upon two dimensionless parameters. The first compares the neutrino power deposited in the gain region with the accretion power, $\tilde{L}_ντ_g = L_ν τ_g R_{\rm NS}/ ( G \dot{M} M_{\rm NS})$. The second, $\tildeκ = κ\dot{M} / \sqrt{G M_{\rm NS} R_{\rm NS}}$, parameterizes the neutrino optical depth in the accreted matter near the neutron-star surface. Over the years, many have proposed approximate explosion conditions: the critical neutrino-luminosity, ante-sonic, and timescale conditions. We are able to derive these other conditions from the force explosion condition, which unifies them all. Using numerical, steady-state and fully hydrodynamic solutions, we test the explosion condition. The success of these tests is promising in two ways. One, the force explosion condition helps to illuminate the underlying physics of explosions. Two, this condition may be a useful explosion diagnostic for more realistic, three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic core-collapse simulations.
description: Figure 10 most clearly highlights the fidelity and the efficacy of the Force Explosion Condition. If you are interested in testing the explosion condition with CCSN simulations, feel free to contact us
