description: Accessing water in Freetown’s informal settlement faces various challenges. This study conducted an assessment of the existing legal and policy framework that governs water supply to informal settlements in Freetown. Through the Literature review and analysis from the expert interviews and focus group discussions, the research found that there are areas within the legal, policy and strategy documents that must be addressed, to create the necessary framework for increasing access to water supply in these communities. Key recommendations from the findings includes: the Ministry of Water Resources in consultations with key stakeholders must develop a comprehensive water law; roles and responsibilities must be clarified, coordination and collaboration among sector stakeholders must be regularised for better planning and the Central and Local Government together with the Utility Company must improve on community engagement with these communities.

description: Tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) have gained a great deal of recent interest due to their potential to reduce power dissipation in integrated circuits. One major challenge for TFETs so far has been achieving high drive currents, which is a prerequisite for high-performance operation. In this paper we explore the performance potential of a 1D TFET with a broken-gap heterojunction source injector using dissipative quantum transport simulations based on the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism, and the carbon nanotube bandstructure as the model 1D material system. We provide detailed insights into broken-gap TFET (BG-TFET) operation, and show that it can indeed produce less than 60mV/decade subthreshold swing at room temperature even in the presence of electron-phonon scattering. The 1D geometry is recognized to be uniquely favorable due to its superior electrostatic control, reduced carrier thermalization rate, and beneficial quantum confinement effects that reduce the off-state leakage below the thermionic limit. Because of higher source injection compared to staggered-gap and homojunction geometries, BG-TFET delivers superior performance that is comparable to MOSFET's. BG-TFET even exceeds the MOSFET performance at lower supply voltages (VDD), showing promise for low-power/high-performance applications.

description: Introduction. Cosmetic products contain a wide range of chemicals to which we are exposed every day. The aim of the study was to determine the presence of potential dangerous substances which can cause adverse health effects by examining product labels.

Methods. A total of 283 products were collected from various shops in Lecce (Italy) and divided into 3 categories: rinse-off, leave-on and make-up. The label of every product was examined and a list including fragrances, preservatives and other chemicals of concern was created.

Results. Fragrances were present in 52.3% of the examined products, mostly limonene (76.9%) and linalool (64.6%) but also citronellol (34.1%), geraniol (31.5%), coumarin (30%) and hexyl cinnamal (29.2%). Preservatives showed a rate of 60% and the most frequently identified were phenoxyethanol (48.7%), sodium benzoate (35.6%), potassium sorbate (22%), methylparaben (15.2%) and MI/MCI (9.9%). The other chemicals of concern were detected in 58% of products; included PEGs (62.3%), acrylate copolymer (34%), petrolatum (17.2%), polysorbates (14,8%), BHT (14.7%), ethylhextyl methoxycinnamate (13.6%), benzophenone-1 (3.7%), benzophenone-3 (4.9%), BHA (1.6%), cocamide DEA and toluene (1.2%).
Conclusions. The use of many of these substances is allowed within certain limits, due to their toxicity at higher concentrations. Other important aspects should be considered as, for instance, the possibility of long-term effects. On the other hand, other substances may induce several acute adverse side-effects, i.e. contact dermatitis and allergic reactions. For these reasons, an enhancement of the criteria used for cosmetics formulation is required since many chemicals used singularly or combined are potentially unsafe.

Subjects: healthcare workers, vaccination coverage, vaccines

description: Introduction

In recent years, a phenomenon known as "vaccine hesitancy" has spread throughout the world, even among health workers, determining a reduction in vaccination coverage (VC).

A study aimed at evaluating VC among healthcare workers (HCWs) in 10 Italian cities (L'Aquila, Genoa, Milan, Palermo, Sassari, Catanzaro, Ferrara, Catania, Naples, Messina) was performed.

Materials and methods

Annex 3 of the Presidential Decree n. 445 of 28 December 2000 was used to collect information on the vaccination status of HCWs. The mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated with regard to the quantitative variable (age), while absolute and relative frequencies were obtained for categorical data (sex, professional profile, working sector, vaccination status). The connection between VC and the categorical variables was evaluated by chi-square method (statistical significance at p<0.05). The statistical analyses were performed by SPSS and Stata software.

Results

A total of 3,454 HCWs participated in the project: 1,236 males and 2,218 females.

The sample comprised: physicians (26.9%), trainee physicians (16.1%), nurses (17.2%) and other professional categories (9.8%). Low VC was generally recorded. Higher VC was found with regard to polio, hepatitis B, tetanus and diphtheria, while coverage was very low for measles, mumps, rubella, pertussis, chickenpox and influenza (20-30%).

Conclusions

This study revealed low VC rates among HCWs for all the vaccinations. Measures to increase VC are therefore necessary in order to prevent HCWs from becoming a source of transmission of infections with high morbidity and/or mortality both within hospitals and outside.

description: The semiconductor-insulator phase transition of the single-layer manganite La0.5Sr1.5MnO4 has been studied by means of high resolution synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction and resonant x-ray scattering at the Mn K edge. We conclude that a concomitant structural transition from tetragonal I4/mmm to orthorhombic Cmcm phases drives this electronic transition. A detailed symmetry-mode analysis reveals that condensation of three soft modes -Delta_2(B2u), X1+(B2u) and X1+(A)- acting on the oxygen atoms accounts for the structural transformation. The Delta_2 mode leads to a pseudo Jahn-Teller distortion (in the orthorhombic bc-plane only) on one Mn site (Mn1) whereas the two X1+ modes produce an overall contraction of the other Mn site (Mn2) and expansion of the Mn1 one. The X1+ modes are responsible for the tetragonal superlattice (1/2,1/2,0)-type reflections in agreement with a checkerboard ordering of two different Mn sites. A strong enhancement of the scattered intensity has been observed for these superlattice reflections close to the Mn K edge, which could be ascribed to some degree of charge disproportion between the two Mn sites of about 0.15 electrons. We also found that the local geometrical anisotropy of the Mn1 atoms and its ordering originated by the condensed Delta_2 mode alone perfectly explains the resonant scattering of forbidden (1/4,1/4,0)-type reflections without invoking any orbital ordering.

Subjects: coping, resilience, earthquake, rescue

description: Background:few studies focus on the role training has on rescue workers who are active as volunteers or actual workers in emergency situations such as an earthquake. In October 2016, a strong earthquake hit Central Italy and in particular the province of Macerata in the Marche region. Lots of rescuers were called to deal with the emergency. The aim of this study was, therefore, to examine their preparation, studying resilience and coping strategies, as these qualities can protect against complications brought on by traumatic situations (post traumatic stress disorder).

Study design: an observational study of 70 rescue workers who were active in the area affected by the disaster within the province of Macerata was carried out.
Methods: the questionnaire proposed by the Coping Inventory for Stressful situations (CISS) was used, while individual levels of resilience were measured with the Resilience Scale. Both methods were employed in two separate interviews conducted before and after their intervention in the disaster area.
Results: the sample showed medium to high levels of coping (91.6%) and resilience (89.6%) were present in both interviews. Some areas relative to coping mechanisms, such as social avoidance and distraction are preferred by women, while men prefer avoidance and task-oriented activity. Results for resilience show a slight difference for perseverance in men.

Conclusions: the ability to use mechanisms of self-preservation like coping and resilience helps rescue workers to better respond in emergency situations. Surely one of the most appropriate ways to reach this result is provided by their preparation.

description: Background: Fluoroquinolone resistant Escherichia coli isolates have become an important challenge in healthcare settings in Iran. In this study, we have determined Fluoroquinolone resistant E.coli isolates (from both outpatients and inpatients) and evaluated mutations of gyrA and parC within the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDR) of these clinical isolates. Materials and Method: A total of 135 E.coli clinical isolates were recovered from urine of 135 patients (91 outpatients and 44 inpatients) admitted at Alzahra hospital, Iran, between September and February 2013. We assessed antimicrobial susceptibility of all isolates and determined mutations in QRDR of gyrA and parC genes from 13 fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates by DNA sequencing. Results: In this study resistance rate of fluoroquinolones (Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin and Ofloxacin) were 45.2%. Two E.coli isolates were shown just a single mutation, but other isolates possessed 2,3,4 and 5 mutations in gyrA and parC genes. Mutations in the QRDR regions of gyrA were at positions Ser83 and Asp87 and parC at positions Ser80, Glu84, Gly78. Conclusions: Ciprofloxacin is the most common antimicrobial agent used for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) in healthcare settings in Iran. Accumulation of different substitutions in the QRDR regions of gyrA and parC confers high-level resistance of fluoroquinolones in clinical isolates.

description: Aim: The purpose of this study was to measure the HH compliance among health care workers (HCWs) in intensive care units at Beni-Suef university hospital, Egypt before and after an intervention program.

Methods: Data were collected by direct observation of HCWs, using the standardized WHO method for direct observation ‘‘Five moments for HH’’ approach. Observations were conducted before (March to April 2017) and after (July to August 2017). The study included 608 opportunities (observations) collected before and 673 opportunities collected after the intervention.

Results: Overall, HH compliance increased significantly from 30.9 (95% CI: 27.2-34.6%) before intervention to 69.5 (95% CI: 65.2-72.6%) post intervention. HH compliance rate among nurses was significantly higher compared with compliance of physicians and other HCWs (P = 0.001). HH compliance rates after body fluid exposure, before aseptic procedures, and after patient contact were significantly higher compared with compliance rates before patient contact and after patient surrounding contact (P=0.001). In logistic regression analyses, there was a statistically significance for compliance of HH among events of before and after patient contact (OR = 1.399, 95% CI: 1.004–1.948) P=0.047.

Conclusions: The educational programs improved the HH compliance among HCWs in the intensive care units at Beni-Suef university hospital. The hospital should conduct continuous monitoring in observing the monthly trend of the units and sharing the findings to spread best practices. It is important to provide sustained intensified training programs to help efficient and effective HH into all elements of care delivery.

description: A crucial issue in star formation is to understand the physical mechanism by which mass is accreted onto and ejected by a young star. The visible spectrometer VEGA on the CHARA array can be an efficient means of probing the structure and the kinematics of the hot circumstellar gas at sub-AU. For the first time, we observed the Herbig Ae star AB Aur in the H$α$ emission line, using the VEGA low spectral resolution on two baselines of the array. We computed and calibrated the spectral visibilities between 610 nm and 700 nm. To simultaneously reproduce the line profile and the visibility, we used a 1-D radiative transfer code that calculates level populations for hydrogen atoms in a spherical geometry and synthetic spectro-interferometric observables. We clearly resolved AB Aur in the H$α$ line and in a part of the continuum, even at the smallest baseline of 34 m. The small P-Cygni absorption feature is indicative of an outflow but could not be explained by a spherical stellar wind model. Instead, it favors a magneto-centrifugal X-disk or disk-wind geometry. The fit of the spectral visibilities could not be accounted for by a wind alone, so we considered a brightness asymmetry possibly caused by large-scale nebulosity or by the known spiral structures, inducing a visibility modulation around H$α$. Thanks to the unique capabilities of VEGA, we managed to simultaneously record for the first time a spectrum at a resolution of 1700 and spectral visibilities in the visible range on a target as faint as $m_{V}$ = 7.1. It was possible to rule out a spherical geometry for the wind of AB Aur and provide realistic solutions to account for the H$α$ emission compatible with magneto-centrifugal acceleration. The study illustrates the advantages of optical interferometry and motivates observations of other bright young stars to shed light on the accretion/ejection processes.
Spherical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: The paper considers random motion of a point on the surface of a sphere, in the case where the angular velocity is determined by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The solution is fully characterized by only one dimensionless number, the persistence angle, which is the typical angle of rotation of the object during the correlation time of the angular velocity. We first show that the two-dimensional case is exactly solvable. When the persistence angle is large, a series for the correlation function has the surprising property that its sum varies much more slowly than any of its individual terms. In three dimensions we obtain asymptotic forms for the correlation function, in the limits where the persistence angle is very small and very large. The latter case exhibits a complicated transient, followed by a much slower exponential decay. The decay rate is determined by the solution of a radial Schrodinger equation in which the angular momentum quantum number takes an irrational value, namely j=(sqrt{17}-1)/2. Possible applications of the model to objects tumbling in a turbulent environment are discussed.

description: We have investigated numerically the field-driven propagation of perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic layers. It was then compared to the historical one-dimensional domain wall (DW) propagation model widely used in spintronics studies of magnetic nanostructures. In the particular regime of layer thickness (h) of the order of the exchange length, anomalous velocity peaks appear in the precessional regime, their shape and position shifting with h. This has also been observed experimentally. Analyses of the simulations show a distinct correlation between the curvature of the DW and the twist of the magnetization vector within it, and the velocity peak. Associating a phenomenological description of this twist with a four-coordinate DW propagation model, we reproduce very well these kinks and show that they result from the torque exerted by the stray field created by the domains on the twisted magnetization. The position of the peaks is well predicted from the DW's first flexural mode frequency, and depends strongly on the layer thickness. Comparison of the proposed model to DW propagation data obtained on dilute semiconductor ferromagnets GaMnAs and GaMnAsP sheds light on the origin of the measured peaks.

Methods: In a hypothetical framework, the relationship between self-efficacy, outcome expectation, social support and self-regulation and physical activity were assessed using path analysis and indices of fitness. Furthermore, the predictive power of the model was evaluated.

Results: Social cognitive theoretical model had a good predictive power for physical activity. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed the suitability of the theoretical model; this model is able to cover 80 % of physical activity variance. Evaluation of social cognitive theoretical model using path analysis showed that self-regulation was the strongest determinant of physical activity. Social support and outcome expectation had very weak effects on physical activity; nonetheless, their effect was enhanced by the presence of self-regulation. Self-efficacy had a weak effect on physical activity, however as an intermediate variable, it reinforced the impact of social support and outcome expectation on physical activity.

Conclusions: The use of the present hypothetical model is suggested as an appropriate framework in research related to physical activity among women as well as to strengthening self-regulation skills in designing and implementing programs promoting physical activities.

description: Introduction: Since Vietnam has signed WHO framework on tobacco control (FCTC) in 2003 and has issued tobacco control law in 2013, there has been little research concerning about what impacts smoke-free regulations have had on public compliance. The objective of this study was to assess public exposure to secondhand smoke and reaction toward smoke-free policy regulations in Vietnam and the associated factor.

Methods: Using the design of GATS (Global Adult Tobacco Survey), a nationally representative sample of 8,996 adults were approached for data collection. Logistic regression was used to examine the associated factor.

Results: The study revealed that the prevalence of respondents exposed to secondhand smoke was much higher in bars/café/tea shops (90.07%) and restaurants (81.81%) than in any other public places, universities (36.70%), government buildings (31.12%), public transport (20.04%), healthcare facilities (17.85%) and schools (15.84%). 13.23% of respondents saw smokers violate smoke-free regulations. Among those who saw them violate smoke-free regulations, just one-third cautioned them to stop smoking. Strikingly, a higher rate of cautioning smokers to stop smoking was observed among the older, married, and better educated respondents. Respondents who were married, better educated and in lower economic status were more likely to remind smokers to stop smoking.

Conclusions: The study has called for strengthening two of the six MPOWER (Monitor, Protect, Offer, Warn, Enforce and Raise) components of the tobacco free initiative introduced by WHO, Monitoring tobacco use and prevention policies and Protecting people from tobacco smoke.

description: Rings are a model system for studying phase coherence in one dimension. Superconducting rings have states with uniform phase windings that are integer multiples of 2$π$ called fluxoid states. When the energy difference between these fluxoid states is of order the temperature so that phase slips are energetically accessible, several states contribute to the ring's magnetic response to a flux threading the ring in thermal equilibrium and cause a suppression or downturn in the ring's magnetic susceptibility as a function of temperature. We review the theoretical framework for superconducting fluctuations in rings including a model developed by Koshnick$^1$ which includes only fluctuations in the ring's phase winding number called fluxoid fluctuations and a complete model by von Oppen and Riedel$^2$ that includes all thermal fluctuations in the Ginzburg-Landau framework. We show that for sufficiently narrow and dirty rings the two models predict a similar susceptibility response with a slightly shifted Tc indicating that fluxoid fluctuations are dominant. Finally we present magnetic susceptibility data for rings with different physical parameters which demonstrate the applicability of our models. The susceptibility data spans a region in temperature where the ring transitions from a hysteretic to a non hysteretic response to a periodic applied magnetic field. The magnetic susceptibility data, taken where transitions between fluxoid states are slow compared to the measurement time scale and the ring response was hysteretic, decreases linearly with increasing temperature resembling a mean field response with no fluctuations. At higher temperatures where fluctuations begin to play a larger role a crossover occurs and the non-hysteretic data shows a fluxoid fluctuation induced suppression of diamagnetism below the mean field response that agrees well with the models.

description: In this paper, we prove that the mean curvature blows up at the same rate as the second fundamental form at the first singular time $T$ of any compact, Type I mean curvature flow. For the mean curvature flow of surfaces, we obtain similar result provided that the Gaussian density is less than two. Our proofs are based on continuous rescaling and the classification of self-shrinkers. We show that all notions of singular sets defined in \cite{St} coincide for any Type I mean curvature flow, thus generalizing the result of Stone who established that for any mean convex Type I Mean curvature flow. We also establish a gap theorem for self-shrinkers.

Motor learning through a social lens

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The goal of this dissertation was to study the impact of a co-learner on individuals’ motor performance, learning, and perceptions of the practice experience. In Experiment 1, we introduced “concurrent” practice, where partners practiced and observed one another simultaneously. Concurrent practice promoted movement coupling within pairs and was perceived as more interfering than individual and turn-taking practice of a balance-related task. However, these differences did not impact error during practice or testing. In Experiment 2, we studied whether matching or mismatching a partner is better for multi-skill learning. Partners practiced the same or different golf-putting skills in alternation. Although contextual interference would be higher for the mismatched group, mismatching did not modulate performance in practice or retention compared to matching or pure physical practice. In Experiments 3–5, we studied multi-skill learning when learners have control over how to practice. Experiment 3 tested self- versus peer-directed practice, when one partner practiced and the other passively observed or made task-switching decisions for the performer. Both self- and peer-schedulers made performance-dependent decisions, choosing to switch tasks based on timing error. Although peer-schedulers chose to switch more frequently, the groups did not differ in retention. In Experiments 4 and 5, we assessed the impact of a partner on self-directed practice choices, when partners switched turns after 9-trial blocks or after every trial. Self-directed learners showed partner-dependent practice, with the partner’s practice impacting sequence selection and switching frequency. Importantly, self-directed learners did not sacrifice the performance-dependent nature of their task-switching, suggesting that some practice behaviours are resistant to a partner’s practice while others are susceptible to modulation. Overall, this dissertation provides evidence that practice in pairs influences the practice decisions/behaviours of learners and provides efficiency benefits, as two people can be trained in the time otherwise devoted to one learner. However, practice in pairs did not improve learning compared to practice alone. Merely practicing with a partner, even if they exert some influence on decisions, was not enough to yield motor learning benefits for the individual. There is a need for well-powered studies to explore the conditions which might promote such benefits.

description: We show how the conversion of magnetic field energy via magnetic reconnection can progress in a fully three-dimensional, fast, volume-filling regime. An initial configuration representative of many laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas spontaneously evolves from the well-known regime of slow, resistive reconnection to a new regime that allows to explain the rates of energy transfer observed in jets emitted from accretion disks, in stellar/solar flare processes as well as in laboratory plasmas. This process does not require any pre-existing turbulence seed which often is not observed in the host systems prior to the onset of the energy conversion. The dynamics critically depends on the interplay of perturbations developing along the magnetic field lines and across them, a process possible only in three-dimensions. The simulations presented here are the first able to show this transition in a fully three-dimensional configuration.

Non-coding RNA expression in lung adenocarcinoma : the long and the short of it
Creators: name: Sage, Adam Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Lung cancer genomic profiling has led to the development of therapies targeting aberrant protein expression. However, the majority of patients present tumours with undruggable or unidentified driver mutations, highlighting the need for a new approach to discover lung cancer genes. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators of cellular processes, such as proliferation, apoptosis, and the immune response; functions that can be perturbed in cancer. I take a global approach to explore the broad role of ncRNAs in lung tumours to uncover alternative regulatory mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. Non-coding RNAs are divided into two main categories based on their size: small (sncRNAs; <200nt) and long (lncRNAs; >200nt). I analyzed small RNA sequencing data from two cohorts of paired lung tumour and non-malignant tissue samples to identify previously-unannotated microRNAs (miRNAs). Using in silico algorithms and subsequent curation, I discovered 141 novel miRNA sequences, representing a substantial increase in the lung miRNA transcriptome. Not only were these transcripts specifically expressed in lung tissues, but they also displayed deregulated expression patterns in tumours and potential prognostic value. This strategy has been instrumental for miRNA discovery in tumours from other organs. Immunotherapy has provided a promising treatment option for lung cancer, but the ability to predict treatment response is an emerging challenge. LncRNAs are known to have a significant role in the immune system. Several lncRNAs have described functions in lung tumours, but lncRNA expression in tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes remains uncharacterized. I determined the lncRNA expression patterns from purified human immune cell subsets, and delineated their cell-type specificity, which may contribute to their particular immune-regulatory roles. These expression patterns were recapitulated in both bulk lung and in single-cell RNA sequencing data. My observations highlight the contribution of infiltrating immune cells to sequencing analyses and also the relevance of lncRNAs to the biology of the tumour microenvironment. Together, my results emphasize the importance of high-throughput deep-sequencing efforts and lay a foundation for the discovery of novel genes involved in lung cancer biology. Assessment of ncRNAs represents the next frontier of cancer biology research and new opportunities for therapeutic target and biomarker discovery.

description: An eclectic, versatile Tuscan doctor, Eusebio Giacinto Valli (1755-1816) was a scholar of several branches of medicine, particularly public health, preventive medicine and epidemiology. His brilliant and wide-ranging education, and his intense passion for physics and chemistry, as applied to the human body, enabled him to conduct numerous studies in the field of vaccinology.
He travelled to the Middle East in order to study the epidemiology of the plague and carried out experiments aimed at discovering a cure and a prophylaxis for rabies, succeeding in attenuating the rabies virus by inoculating a mixture of saliva from rabid dogs and gastric juice from frogs.
Having travelled to Spain and then to Cuba, where he undertook the study of yellow fever, he died in Havana in September 1816, after injecting attenuated germs of the disease into his own body.
He was buried in the great Monumental Cemetery "Cristobal Colon", where his tomb bears the epigraph: "victima de su amor à la humanidad ("a victim of his love for humanity")

description: We review the approach to modeling soft hadron physics observables based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD. The focus is on light quark mesons and in particular the pseudoscalar and vector ground states, their decays and electromagnetic couplings. We detail the wide variety of observables that can be correlated by a ladder-rainbow kernel with one infrared parameter fixed to the chiral quark condensate. A recently proposed novel perspective in which the quark condensate is contained within hadrons and not the vacuum is mentioned. The valence quark parton distributions, in the pion and kaon, as measured in the Drell Yan process, are investigated with the same ladder-rainbow truncation of the Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations.
