description: Essential epidemiologic and virologic parameters must be measured to provide evidence for policy/public health recommendations and mathematical modeling concerning novel influenza A/H1N1 virus (NIV) infections. Therefore, from April through August of 2009, the authors collected nasopharyngeal specimens and information on antiviral medication and symptoms from households with NIV infection on a daily basis in Germany. Specimens were analyzed quantitatively by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. In 36 households with 83 household contacts, 15 household contacts became laboratory-confirmed secondary cases of NIV. Among 47 contacts without antiviral prophylaxis, 12 became cases (secondary attack rate of 26%), and 1 (8%) of these was asymptomatic. The mean and median serial interval were 2.6 and 3 days, respectively (range: 1-3 days). On average, the authors detected viral RNA copies for 6.6 illness days (treated in time = 5.7 days, not treated in time = 7.1 days; P = 0.06), but they estimated that most patients cease to excrete viable virus by the fifth illness day. Shedding profiles were consistent with the number and severity of symptoms. Compared with other nasopharyngeal specimen types, nasal wash was the most sensitive. These results support the notion that epidemiologic and virologic characteristics of NIV are in many aspects similar to those of seasonal influenza.

description: Urinalysis is a common laboratory test used for diagnosis of a variety of systemic and genitourinary diseases. Although, collection of sample for urinalysis is extremely easy, when performed during an office visit, in pediatric and geriatric populations, who use diaper, such collection is not trivial and can result in missing important diagnostic information. For example, urinary tract infections (UTIs), are a major source of morbidity in incontinent elderly with dementia who cannot communicate their symptom to their caregivers. Although most UTIs are easily treatable with antibiotics, if not identified and treated timely, they can cause ascending infection, loss of kidney function, sepsis, and possible death. Deployment of smart, autonomous, diaper-embedded systems that can detect early signs of urinary dysfunction can have a significant impact on healthcare of our rapidly aging population. In this dissertation, I propose a diaper-embedded, low-cost, and disposable sensing platform comprising of a urine-activated battery and sensors for detection of nitrite (a surrogate for UTI), red blood cells (hematuria), and protein (proteinuria). I will first discuss my efforts to develop an optical/colorimetric nitrite sensor and a urine-activated power source, all fabricated on a hydrophobic paper/polymeric substrate through laser-assisted machining and lamination-assembly. The system stays in a dormant state until wetted by urine, after which the on-board power source is activated, awakening the rest of the measurement system (i.e., a light emitting diode, a photodetector, interface electronics, and a low-power Bluetooth module) and transmitting the presence or absence of nitrite in the urine to vicinal caregivers in a point-of-care and autonomous fashion. Thorough characterization of the performance and reliability analysis of the platform are also presented to envision its use as an end product. Afterwards, I will discuss the characterization of sensors, based on similar principle, for detecting red blood cells (hematuria) and protein (proteinuria), and the extendibility of the proposed platform for a multi-parameter system measuring nitrite, blood, and protein in the urine. Finally, I will conclude with other possible applications besides urinalysis for the proposed system.
WHAT SORT OF JEW DOSTOEVSKY LIKED AND DISLIKED: A NARRATIVE OF A LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP

description: In his fiction, journalism and letters, Dostoevsky recurrently mentions ethnicity of his protagonists. Russians, Poles, Englishmen, Germans, Turks, Greeks etc. never act as individuals with their personal life but rather as ‘carriers’ of some national idea. Amidst the nations represented in Dostoevsky’s oeuvre, there are some Jews. The fashion of how Dostoevsky portraits them was questionable even at the writer’s lifespan. Arkadii Kovner’s and Sophia Lurie’s letters to Dostoevsky are quite known as well as their direct indictment of the writer in Anti-Semitism. After 1920s, Dostoevsky’s attitude toward Jews turns into a difficult topic of Dostoevsky Studies. In the article, we trace how Dostoevsky uses words which traditionally refer to Jews and show their semantics as highly dispersed. We find the writer’s affinity to use words ‘a Jew’, ‘a Hebrew’ and even ‘an Yid’ with dubious or even without any links to real Jews. Based on private letters of Dostoevsky and his journalism, we derive two Jewish images – positive and negative – which are quite constant in the writer’s texts. Dostoevsky bindingly connects Jews with Judaism, i.e. its practises, traditions and rituals. Thus, he is mostly sympathetic to ‘serious Jews’ – traditionalists. Vice versa, he is rigorously critical to the secular ones. Dostoevsky looks at the polemics of the traditionalists and the ‘maskilim’ and perceives it as a parallel to Russian debates around the Westernization. In the both conflicts, Dostoevsky’s sympathies are with people who keep traditions while he perceives those who decline a ‘national body’ as his own ideological ‘foes’.

Self-reported history of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and STI-related utilization of the German health care system by men who have sex with men: data from a large convenience sample

subject: 610 Medizin

description: Background:In Germany, testing and treatment of sexually transmissible infections (STIs) services are not provided by one medical discipline, but rather dispersed among many different providers. Common STIs like gonorrhoea or Chlamydia infection are not routinely reported. Although men who have sex with men (MSM) are particularly vulnerable to STIs, respective health care utilization among MSM is largely unknown. Methods: A sexual behaviour survey among MSM was conducted in 2006. Questions on self-reported sexual behaviour, STI-related health care consultation and barriers to access, coverage of vaccination against hepatitis, screening for asymptomatic STIs, self-reported history of STIs, and partner notification were analysed. Analysis was stratified by HIV-serostatus (3,511 HIV-negative/unknown versus 874 positive). Results: General Practitioners, particularly gay doctors, were preferred for STI-related health care. Low threshold testing in sex-associated venues was acceptable for most respondents. Shame and fear of homophobic reactions were the main barriers for STI-testing. More than half of the respondents reported vaccination against hepatitis A/B. HIV-positive MSM reported screening offers for STIs three to seven times more often than HIV-negative or untested MSM. Unlike testing for syphilis or hepatitis C, screening for asymptomatic pharyngeal and rectal infections was rarely offered. STIs in the previous twelve months were reported by 7.1% of HIV-negative/untested, and 34.7% of HIV-positive respondents. Conclusions: Self-reported histories of STIs in MSM convenience samples differ significantly by HIV-serostatus. Higher rates of STIs among HIV-positive MSM may partly be explained by more testing. Communication between health care providers and their clients about sexuality, sexual practices, and sexual risks should be improved. A comprehensive STI screening policy for MSM is needed.

description: Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is caused by a reactivation of the varicella-zoster-virus (VZV) and mainly affects individuals aged ≥ 50 years. Vaccines have been licensed or are under development that can protect against HZ and its main complication postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). In Germany, the burden of disease caused by HZ is not well known. To support the decision making process related to a potential vaccination recommendation, we estimated annual HZ disease burden in people aged ≥ 50 years in Germany by utilizing various data sources. Methods: We assessed for 2007 and 2008 HZ-outpatient incidence (number of cases per 1,000 person-years, PY) by utilizing the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (ASHIP) database, which contains nationwide routine outpatient data. For the same time period annual number of HZ-inpatients and HZ-associated deaths were identified by using the Federal Health Monitoring System (FHM). PHN-incidence and loss of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) caused by HZ were calculated by multiplying number of identified HZ-patients with upper and lower limit estimates for proportion of HZ-cases developing PHN and HZ-related QALY, respectively. Results: For the study period we identified an annual average of 306,511 HZ-outpatients aged 50+, resulting in a HZ-incidence of 9.6/1,000 PY. A total 14,249 HZ-associated inpatients and 66 deaths were reported in both years on average. HZ-incidence increased by age from 6.21 in people 50-54 years to 13.19 per 1,000 PY in people aged ≥ 90 years. Females were significantly more frequently affected than males in terms of outpatient HZ-incidence (11.12 vs. 7.8 per 1,000 PY), inpatient HZ-incidence (0.51 vs. 0.38 per 1,000 PY) and mortality (0.29 vs. 0.10 per 100,000 PY). PHN-incidence was estimated to range between 0.43 and 1.33 per 1,000 PY. Based on these figures, there were between 3,065 to 24,094 QALYs lost due to HZ in persons aged ≥ 50 years in Germany per annum. Conclusion: Our study provides important baseline estimates for HZ-related disease burden in Germany. HZ poses a considerable burden on the health care system in Germany both in terms of outpatient and inpatient services. Follow-up assessments of HZ disease burden are needed to monitor the impact of VZV-vaccinations in Germany.
Intimate Correspondence: Negotiating the Materials of Female Friendship in Margaret Cavendish’s Sociable Letters

Subjects: subject: British literature

subject: Epistolaries

description: In this article, I argue that Margaret Cavendish uses 'Sociable Letters' and the female friendship within its pages to intervene in early modern epistolary traditions and negotiate alternatives for conventional markers of intimacy between correspondents. Grounding the argument in current scholarly debates on familiar letter conventions, I demonstrate that Cavendish both capitalizes on and manipulates the standard temporal structures of epistolary exchange. Through a close analysis of several letters in Cavendish's printed collection, I find that memory and shared personal history emerge as key components to Cavendish’s proposed modes of intimacy. The fictional friendship between female correspondents in 'Sociable Letters' contributes provocative new insights to scholarly arguments on Cavendish's authorial mode, as well as critical work on early modern letters and the relationships scripted within their pages.
Efficient Matrix-aware Relational Query Processing in Big Data Systems

Year: 2019
Subjects: Applied computing not elsewhere classified

description: In the big data era, the use of large-scale machine learning methods is becoming ubiquitous in data exploration tasks ranging from business intelligence and bioinformatics to self-driving cars. In these domains, a number of queries are composed of various kinds of operators, such as relational operators for preprocessing input data, and machine learning models for complex analysis. Usually, these learning methods heavily rely on matrix computations. As a result, it is imperative to develop novel query processing approaches and systems that are aware of big matrix data and corresponding operators, scale to clusters of hundreds of machines, and leverage distributed memory for high-performance computation. This dissertation introduces and studies several matrix-aware relational query processing strategies, analyzes and optimizes their performance.
The first contribution of this dissertation is MatFast, a matrix computation system for efficiently processing and optimizing matrix-only queries in a distributed in-memory environment. We introduce a set of heuristic rules to rewrite special features of a matrix query for less memory footprint, and cost models to estimate the sparsity of sparse matrix multiplications, and to distribute the matrix data partitions among various compute workers for a communication-efficient execution. We implement and test the query processing strategies in an open-source distributed dataflowengine (Apache Spark).
In the second contribution of this dissertation, we extend MatFast to MatRel, where we study how to efficiently process queries that involve both matrix and relational operators. We identify a series of equivalent transformation rules to rewrite a logical plan when both relational and matrix operations are present. We introduce selection, projection, aggregation, and join operators over matrix data, and propose optimizations to reduce computation overhead. We also design a cost model to distribute matrix data among various compute workers for communication-efficientevaluation of relational join operations.
In the third and last contribution of this dissertation, we demonstrate how to leverage MatRel for optimizing complex matrix-aware relational query evaluation pipelines. Especially, we showcase how to efficiently learn model parameters for deep neural networks of various applications with MatRel, e.g., Word2Vec.

description: Background: Echoviruses are the commonest cause of aseptic meningitis. Echovirus type 13 which has not been isolated in Germany over a long period of time was the predominant enterovirus serotype associated with different local outbreaks of aseptic meningitis in Germany in 2000. Methods: Virus isolation was performed from cerebrospinal fluid and stools. In order to study the genetic relationship of echovirus type 13 isolates, sequence analysis of a part of VP1 (~300 nt) was carried out. Isolates from different geographic regions were compared to each other as well as to elder viruses (prototype strain from 1953, four isolates from 1965–1986). Results: Overall, 55 isolates of echovirus type 13 were obtained from different parts of Germany. It was shown that the new isolated strains have a very high degree of homology on the nucleotide level (> 98%)) but differ significantly from the old strains (76–85%). Conclusions: a) Rare enterovirus serotypes can cause serious illness. b) The molecular drift has also been shown for other enterovirus serotypes.

description: This article focuses on a vast category of texts, the so-called "Tableaux de Paris", or "Paris-Guides", which contributed in a relevant way to the creation and the vulgarization of the Myth of Paris all along the Nineteenth Century. The relation of these publications with the "high" literature is sometimes ambiguous: several great authors participated to the epic endeavor of displaying Paris's inhabitants (as Hugo, Balzac, Nerval did), others used this very display to denounce the inanity of the myth itself. In effect, Paris appears in these texts as a "common place", both in the sense of a geographical and social space, and in the sense of a stereotype, a linguistic and cultural cliché. The dynamics between Paris as a space (a space that is common, inasmuch it can be shared) and Paris as a stereotype (a common knowledge) is our main focus, as we are convinced that in this relation many of the most important literary features of the Nineteenth Century's French Literature are to be understood.

The critical essays that are here collected have been written by some students of my class, and show clearly enough that "to propose that the meaning of literature lies in its use is to open up for investigation a vast terrain of practices, expectations, emotions, hopes, dreams, and interpretations" (Rita Felski, Uses of Literature, 2008). Aiming not exclusively at a better mastery of literary understanding, but more widely at the developing of a "critical thinking", that is applicable to any dimension of knowledge and practice, the course showed that literature can be "used", and its study can enhance skills and abilities of a manifold kind, such as text analysis, language skills, but also problem solving, accuracy and creativity.

description: Die Leptospirose ist eine durch humanpathogene Spirochäten des Genus Leptospira verursachte zoonotische Infektionskrankheit mit weltweiter Verbreitung. Die schwere Form der Erkrankung wurde erstmals 1886 von dem Heidelberger Arzt Adolf Weil beschrieben [1]. In dieser klassischen Veröffentlichung dokumentiert Weil die Krankheitsverläufe zweier Patienten aus dem Jahr 1882 und bezieht sich ergänzend auf die Aufzeichnungen seines Lehrers Friedreich, der ein ähnliches Krankheitsbild bereits 1870 zweimal gesehen hatte. Bei allen vier Patienten manifestierte sich die Erkrankung durch ein akut einsetzendes Fieber, gefolgt von einer Splenomegalie, einem Ikterus und einer Nephritis. Der Erreger dieser von Weil zuerst als „Typhus biliosus nostras“ (später: Morbus Weil) bezeichneten Erkrankung wurde 1915 von den Japanern Inada und Ido bei der Untersuchung von an Gelbsucht erkrankten Bergarbeitern nachgewiesen, und als Spirochaeta icterohaemorrhagica japonica klassifiziert [2]. Noch im selben Jahr folgten die deutschen Forschern Uhlenhuth und Fromme, die Leptospiren bei Soldaten eines Frontbunkers nachweisen konnten, die klinisch an einer schweren Leptospirose erkrankt waren [3] . Bei der Suche nach einem möglichen Reservoir des Erregers waren wiederum japanische Forscher erfolgreich, denen es gelang, Leptospiren im Gewebe und Urin von Ratten nachzuweisen, welche sie in den Kohlegruben von Kyushi gefangen hatten [4]. Es war schließlich das Verdienst des Japaners Noguchi, Leptospiren von den übrigen Spirochäten zu unterscheiden, und sie als neuen Genus mit der Bezeichnung Leptospira zu etablieren (welchen er allerdings fälschlicherweise für die Ursache des Gelbfiebers hielt) [5].

description: Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a pathogen of emerging concern in industrialized countries. The consumption of wild boar meat has been identified as one risk factor for autochthonous HEV infections. Only limited information is available about thermal stability of HEV, mainly due to the lack of rapid and efficient cell culture systems for measurement of HEV infectivity. Methods: A molecular biological method was implemented in order to distinguish disassembled from intact viral particles using RNase treatment followed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The method was applied to a wild boar liver suspension containing HEV genotype 3. Results: Time-course analyses indicated that the decline of protected RNA could be described by a biphasic model with an initial decrease followed by a stationary phase. The stationary phase was reached after 1 hour at 4°C, 3 days at 22°C and 7 days at 37°C with log reductions of 0.34, 0.45 and 1.24, respectively. Protected RNA was detectable until the end of the experiments at day 50 or 70. Heat exposure for 1 minute resulted in a log reduction of 0.48 at 70°C and increased with higher temperatures to 3.67 at 95°C. Although HEV infectivity titration by inoculation of the liver suspension onto three cell lines did not succeed, the results of the RNase-based method are in accordance with published cell culture-based data. Conclusions: Measurement of intact viral particles using the RNase-based method may provide data on the stability of RNA viruses when cell culture-based infectivity titrations are not efficient or not available. The method enables processing of large sample numbers and may be suitable to estimate stability of HEV in different types of food.
Wireless Sensing of Tissue Deformations Featuring Polymeric Magnets

Subjects: Electrical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Measurement of physiological deformations in specific tissues can provide significant information for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of medical conditions. Yet these deformation measurements can be hard to obtain, especially when the targeted tissue is inside the body where optical access is denied. Current medical imaging technologies, including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and X-ray, can image soft tissues and bones with decent spatial resolution. However, they are not feasible for chronic tissue monitoring or cases in which rapid tissue deformation/vibration measurements are required. Wireless magnetic sensing is a favorable option for implantable pressure, strain, or deformation sensing systems due to its compact size, passiveness, high sampling rate and minimal interference from biological materials. Polymeric magnets, made from polymer carrier and embedded magnetic micro/nano-particles, possess the traits of flexibility, stretchability and biocompatibility that are preferred for biomedical applications. Nonetheless, their magnetic field is much weaker comparing to that of traditional ferrous/rare earth magnets. Emergence of highly sensitive magnetic sensors based on various principles (Hall effect, anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR), giant magneto-resistance (GMR), giant magneto-impedance (GMI), tunneling magneto-resistance (TMR)) has enabled precise magnetic sensing of such polymeric magnets. To this end, we developed wireless magnetic sensing systems capable of measuring tissue deformations through implantable polymeric magnets for biomedical applications. This thesis work details the end-to-end development (magnetic sensor selection, magnetic transducer design & fabrication, measurement algorithm development) and the collaborative, interdisciplinary experiment result of a wireless brain deformation sensing system for blast induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) featuring a polymeric magnetic disk, and a wireless strain sensing system for bladder dysfunction or heart failure (HF) featuring a stretchable polymeric magnetic band. Both systems comprise of one or more polymeric magnetic transducers, an external magnetic sensor / sensor array, and a signal processing unit. Upon tissue deformation, the magnetic transducers attached to the tissue deform jointly, inducing a change in the magnetic field that can be measured wirelessly by the external magnetic sensor / sensor array. Tissue deformation is then recovered from the measured magnetic field signal via the signal processing unit.

Road transportation and freight services

description: The app-based taxi services (ATS) has disrupted the traditional (street-hailing) taxi services (TTS) leading to transformative changes in the urban taxi markets and its impacts on mobility, design and environment. However, the current modeling of these new mobility markets is limited in its understanding of: (1) the underlying factors that influence the growth of the ATS market; (2) the competition of ATS and TTS markets; (3) pricing in the ATS market; (4) system wide tools to understand the impacts of the market. The overarching goal of this dissertation is to address four fundamental processes of taxi system, ranging from demand generation, supply generation and exiting, dynamic pricing generation, and vehicle-passenger matching over road network. This dissertation achieves these goals by using original large scale datasets to characterize disruptive changes in mobility, understand strategic behaviors of stakeholders, and formulate system dynamics. This dissertation develops various modeling structures and estimation methods, motivated from statistical, econometric, machine learning, and stochastic approaches. First, we adapt multiple econometric models for demand, supply, and platform-exiting (offline) behaviors, including mixture model of spatial lag and Poisson regression and mixture model of spatial lag and panel regression. It is apparent that all proposed econometric models should be corrected with spatial lag due to significant spatial autocorrelations. The results indicate effectiveness of dynamic pricing in controlling demand, however, it also shows no impacts on driver's online and offline behaviors. Then a dynamic pricing generation problem is formulated with multi-class classification. This model is empirically validated for the impacts of demand and supply in dynamic price generation and the significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity. Last, we propose a queueing network consisting of taxi service queues for vehicle-passenger matching and road service queue for vehicle movements at homogeneous spatial units. The method captures stochasticity in vehicle-passenger matching process, and more importantly, formulates the interactions with urban road traffic. In summary, this dissertation provides a holistic understanding of fundamental processes that govern the rapid rise in ATS markets and in developing quantitative tools for the system wide impacts of this evolving taxi markets. Taken together, these tools are transformative and useful for city agencies to make various decisions in the smart mobility landscape.
The Creaturely Modernism of Amos Tutuola

description: This article examines the global African modernism of Amos Tutuola through the lens of his nonhuman folkloric creatures. Though the work of the early Nigerian novelist is often characterized as modernism’s inversion, or “traditional,” Tutuola in fact articulates a succession of surreal monsters in The Palm Wine Drinkard (1952) and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1954) that literally embody commodities and technologies, rupturing the trite image of an insular, primitive Africa. With televisions for hands and footballs for eyes, Tutuola’s modern creatures situate West Africa as a global nexus of social relation, consumer culture, and commodity flows.

After the End Times: Postcrisis African Science Fiction

description: We live in a moment of “apocalyptic time,” the “time of the end of time.” Ours is a moment of global ecological crisis, of the ever-impending collapse of capital. That we live on the brink is too clear. What is not, however, is our ability to imagine the moment after this dual crisis. In recent years, African artists have begun to articulate this “moment after,” ushering in a new paradigm in African literature and film that speculates upon postcrisis African futures. Writers and filmmakers such as Nigeria’s Efe Okogu and Kenya’s Wanuri Kahiu have imagined future African topographies—spaces that have felt the fullest effects of climate change, nuclear radiation, and the imbalances of global capitalism. Biopolitics, sovereignty, and the human have all been reconfigured in these African science fictions. Okogu and Kahiu’s futurist aesthetics are specters that loom over our present, calling for a radically reimagined politics of the now.
