description: We aimed to compare the risk of developing osteoporosis in patients prescribed warfarin or direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with those with no therapy. We included 37,632 patients aged between 18 and 111 years with a recorded diagnosis of AF between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2017. Patients were followed until the diagnosis of osteoporosis, switch or discontinuation of the OAC, last clinical visit, or end of the study period, whichever occurred first. The incidences of new-onset osteoporosis were calculated using the Cox proportional hazards model. Of total, 16,995 (45.2%) had no recorded OAC prescription, and 20,637 had a recorded prescription of warfarin (6,609) or DOAC (14,028). Compared with those not prescribed an OAC, the risk of being diagnosed with new-onset osteoporosis increased in patients prescribed warfarin (HR 2.22, 95% CI 2.00–2.47, p < 0.001) and DOACs (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.29–1.58, p < 0.001). However, the effect of DOACs was not statistically significant (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.86–1.33, p < 0.535) after excluding patients with at least one recorded prescription of systemic corticosteroids, antiepileptics, or proton pump inhibitors. Use of warfarin or DOACs was associated with a significantly increased risk of developing osteoporosis compared with no OAC treatment.

description: Replacing ANSI C language with other modern programming languages such as Python or Java may be an actual debate topic in technical universities. Researchers whose primary interests are not in programming area seem to prefer modern and higher level languages. Keeping standard language ANSI C as a primary tool for engineers and for microcontrollers programming, robotics and data acquisition courses is another strong different opinion trend. Function oriented versus object oriented languages may be another highlighted topic in actual debates.

description: There is a relationship between the inability to access healthy foods and negative health outcomes. Residents of neighborhoods with fewer fresh produce sources and many convenience stores are at a higher risk of chronic diseases. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, about 16.5% of Durham’s population lives in classified food deserts or “low-income tracts where a substantial number or substantial share of residents do not have easy access to a supermarket or large grocery store” (2019). Moreover, about 26.7% of the county’s adults are considered obese with only 15% of adults consuming fruits and vegetables five or more times per day (Durham County, 2021). This is especially true for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) due to the longstanding history of systemic racism that has led to a lack of investment in these neighborhoods. Through the Healthy Food Small Retailer Program, small retailers such as convenience stores are awarded funds to increase availability of fresh food options for BIPOC in Durham County to provide a more equitable and healthier environment.

description: This study investigated the clinical efficacy sofosbuvir/daclatasvir (SOF-DCV) in patients with COVID-19. PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for relevant articles written before January 6, 2022. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the clinical efficacy of SOF-DCV (study group) with alternative treatments (control group) in patients with COVID-19 were included. A total of 9 RCTs were included. The all-cause mortality rate in the study group was 10.7% (96/898), which was lower than that in the control group (12.3%, 108/871). However, this difference was not statistically significant (odds ratio [OR] = 0.83; 95% CI, 0.62–1.12; I2 = 49%). The overall clinical recovery rate was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (OR = 2.34; 95% CI, 1.47–3.72; I2 = 20%). Furthermore, the average length of hospital stay was shorter in the study group than in the control group (mean deviation = −1.84; 95% CI, −3.42 to −0.26, I2 = 68%). Although SOF-DCV did not confer a survival benefit in patients with COVID-19, it may increase a patient’s odds of clinical recovery, and shorten the length of their hospital stay.

description: Developing and evaluating novel compounds for treatment or prophylaxis of emerging infectious diseases is costly and time-consuming. Repurposing of already available marketed compounds is an appealing option as they already have an established safety profile. This approach could substantially reduce cost and time required to make effective treatments available to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this approach is challenging since many drug candidates show efficacy in in vitro experiments, but fail to deliver effect when evaluated in clinical trials. Better approaches to evaluate in vitro data are needed, in order to prioritize drugs for repurposing. This article evaluates potential drugs that might be of interest for repurposing in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 disease. A pharmacometric simulation-based approach was developed to evaluate in vitro activity data in combination with expected clinical drug exposure, in order to evaluate the likelihood of achieving effective concentrations in patients. The presented pharmacometric approach bridges in vitro activity data to clinically expected drug exposures, and could therefore be a useful compliment to other methods in order to prioritize repurposed drugs for evaluation in prospective randomized controlled clinical trials.
FOOD INSECURITY AMONG LOW-INCOME FAMILIES AS AN ECONOMIC SOCIAL DETERMINANT OF HEALTH IN DURHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
Creators: name: Pettersson, Jessica

Year: 2022

description: Economic stability in Durham County, North Carolina, includes household food insecurity. Food insecurity is a lack of consistent access to healthy, affordable foods. County initiatives to increase food security exist, but many low-income families still suffer from food insecurity. Food insecurity is associated with various short- and long-term health effects, including poor academic performance, malnutrition in children, and increased susceptibility to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. To alleviate this, an evidence-based ridesharing program that transports County residents to and from participating grocery stores at a reduced cost is proposed to reduce transportation barriers for low-income families. The ridesharing proposal will be designed, evaluated, and implemented through partnerships with various educational, community, and nonprofit stakeholders.

description: Doubly diffusive convection is considered in a vertical slot where horizontal temperature and solutal variations provide competing effects to the fluid density while allowing the existence of a conduction state. In this configuration, the linear stability of the conductive state is known, but the convection patterns arising from the primary instability have only been studied for specific parameter values. We have extended this by determining the nature of the primary bifurcation for all values of the Lewis and Prandtl numbers using a weakly nonlinear analysis. The resulting convection branches are extended using numerical continuation and we find large-amplitude steady convection states can coexist with the stable conduction state for sub- and supercritical primary bifurcations. The stability of the convection states is investigated and attracting travelling waves and periodic orbits are identified using time-stepping when these steady states are unstable.

Mira Aoun, Myrtle Bianca Bryant, Heather MacLean, and Adrianna Mulligan: Addressing Access To Healthy Foods For Elementary School Students In Durham County, North Carolina
(Under the direction of: Zunaid Ahsan and Kimberly Truesdale)

Food security is an integral part of any community. The social and community context of Durham County, North Carolina (DC) is affected by low levels of food security among individuals in this population. Access to healthy foods is a component of food security. Young children are one of the most vulnerable populations when it comes to the effects of food security. Therefore, this initiative, Durham Care and Share (DCAS), focuses on public elementary school students in DC. After analysis of potential program options and stakeholder engagement, this initiative decided to recommend edible school gardens to address healthy food access for our priority population. After implementation of this initiative, engagement with our stakeholders, and evaluation of the initiative, we will be able to determine the success of this program and whether it truly improves the social and community context of DC.

description: The quantum Hall (QH) effect in two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) is conventionally observed at liquid-helium temperatures, where lattice vibrations are strongly suppressed and bulk carrier scattering is dominated by disorder. However, due to large Landau level (LL) separation (~2000 K at B = 30 T), graphene can support the QH effect up to room temperature (RT), concomitant with a non-negligible population of acoustic phonons with a wave-vector commensurate to the inverse electronic magnetic length. Here, we demonstrate that graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) realizes a novel transport regime, where dissipation in the QH phase is governed predominantly by electron-phonon scattering. Investigating thermally-activated transport at filling factor 2 up to RT in an ensemble of back-gated devices, we show that the high B-field behaviour correlates with their zero B-field transport mobility. By this means, we extend the well-accepted notion of phonon-limited resistivity in ultra-clean graphene to a hitherto unexplored high-field realm.

description: We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate energy transfer mediated by optical near-field interactions in a multi-layer InAs quantum dot (QD) structure composed of a single layer of larger dots and N layers of smaller ones. We construct a stochastic model in which optical near-field interactions that follow a Yukawa potential, QD size fluctuations, and temperature-dependent energy level broadening are unified, enabling us to examine device-architecture-dependent energy transfer efficiencies. The model results are consistent with the experiments. This study provides an insight into optical energy transfer involving inherent disorders in materials and paves the way to systematic design principles of nanophotonic devices that will allow optimized performance and the realization of designated functions.

description: A high repetition rate electron source was generated by tightly focusing kHz, few-mJ laser pulses into an underdense plasma. This high intensity laser-plasma interaction led to stable electron beams over several hours but with strikingly complex transverse distributions even for good quality laser focal spots. Analysis of the experimental data, along with results of PIC simulations demonstrate the role of the laser wavefront on the acceleration of electrons. Distortions of the laser wavefront cause spatial inhomogeneities in the out-of-focus laser distribution and consequently, the laser pulse drives an inhomogenous transverse wakefield whose focusing/defocusing properties affect the electron distribution. These findings explain the experimental results and suggest the possibility of controlling the electron spatial distribution in laser-plasma accelerators by tailoring the laser wavefront.

description: Within Durham County, non-Hispanic Black adults are the most common racial/ethnic group living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) and face more economic instability, negatively affecting their overall health. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal government program that lessens the severity of poverty, a key factor of economic instability. SNAP lifted nearly 300, 000 North Carolinians out of poverty in 201. However, North Carolina has low SNAP participation rates with nearly one in five individuals in the "SNAP gap," being eligible for SNAP benefits but not receiving them.  To increase SNAP participation and decrease food insecurity and poverty, Durham County could implement a local program that serves high-need and disinvested communities. This Durham specific program would increase SNAP enrollment and consist of four key components: community engagement, outreach, application assistance, and education resources.

description: In the present article we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of microtubules, the basic components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, and rely on the known general model. A crucial interaction among constitutive particles is modelled using W-potential. Three kinds of this potential are studied, symmetrical and two non-symmetrical. We demonstrate an advantage of the latter ones.

description: Let $k$ be even. We consider two series $F_k(x)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{σ_{k-1}(n)}{n^{k+1}} \sin(2πn x)$ and $G_k(x)= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{σ_{k-1}(n)}{n^{k+1}} \cos(2πn x)$, where $σ_{k-1}$ is the divisor function. They converge on $\mathbb{R}$ to continuous functions. In this paper, we examine the differentiability of $F_k$ and $G_k$. These functions are related to Eisenstein series and their (quasi-)modular properties allow us to apply the method proposed by Itatsu in 1981 in the study of the Riemann series. We focus on the case $k=2$ and we show that the sine series exhibits different behaviour with respect to differentiability than the cosine series. We prove that the differentiability of $F_2$ at an irrational $x$ is related to the fine diophantine properties of $x$. We estimate the modulus of continuity of $F_2$. We formulate a conjecture concerning differentiability of $F_k$ and $G_k$ for any $k$ even.

description:  Childhood educational attainment and long-term health outcomes are tightly linked to socioeconomic status.  In order to break the cycle of poverty and poor health, Durham County has acknowledged the need to focus on those students at a high risk of failing to realize grade level competency.  Here we describe our ambitious goal to increase the reading and math grade level proficiencies for third through eighth-grade students within Durham County Public Schools (DPS), particularly focusing on improving the equity in proficiency achievement. This paper will evaluate the potential effect of the Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports framework on DPS students by discussing the program, stakeholders, budget, and engagement plan to improve grade level proficiency scores for third to eighth-grade students.

description: El presente trabajo surge con la finalidad de presentar las primeras ideas de la potencial aplicación en el análisis de riesgo y la valuación de los proyectos de inversión pública de una de las herramientas más importantes de las finanzas modernas que es la Teoría de las Opciones Reales. Actualmente, la distinta literatura que trata sobre opciones reales se ha enfocado en la evaluación privada o financiera de los proyectos de inversión, sin embargo, si su aplicación se quiere extender al análisis de los proyectos del sector público, ésta tiene que hacerse considerando los conceptos y las herramientas de la evaluación social de proyectos.
Design and modeling of an ultra-compact 2x2 nanomechanical plasmonic switch

description: A 2x2 Mach-Zehnder optical switch design with a footprint of 0.5 $μ$m x 2.5 $μ$m using nanomechanical gap plasmon phase modulators [arXiv:1410.0273] is presented. The extremely small footprint and modest optical loss are enabled by the strong phase modulation of gap plasmons in a mechanically actuated 17 nm air gap. Frequency-domain finite-element modeling at 780 nm shows that the insertion loss is ${\leq}$ 8.5 dB, the extinction ratio is > 25 dB, and crosstalk for all ports is > 24 dB. A design optimization approach and its dependence on geometrical parameters are discussed.

description: In der vorliegenden Masterthesis wird Agilität in Organisationen der Sozialen Arbeit untersucht und der Fragestellung nachgegangen, inwiefern eine agile Projektmanagementmethode wie Scrum auf Organisationen der Sozialen Arbeit übertragen werden kann. Durch komplexe Einflüsse aus Umwelt und Gesellschaft werden neue Herausforderungen an die Soziale Arbeit sowie deren Organisationen herangetragen, die einen veränderten Umgang zur Bearbeitung sozialer Probleme erfordern. Agilität bietet als ganzheitliches Konzept einen Lösungsansatz, um in einer veränderten Form reagieren zu können. Dies geht mit einer Vielzahl agiler Methodiken einher. Die qualitative Untersuchung zeigt, dass Agilität organisationale Bedingungen und Logiken erfordert. Sowohl das individuelle Mindset, die Kultur und Strukturen der Organisation sowie das Leadership müssen berücksichtigt werden. Nicht zuletzt leistet die Untersuchung mehrere Ansätze und praktische Herangehensweisen, mit denen, beispielsweise durch den Modellversuch «socialScrum», Agilität in Organisationen der Sozialen Arbeit bei der Bearbeitung sozialer Probleme gelingen kann.

description: We report on a 10 ks simultaneous Chandra/HETG-NuSTAR observation of the Bursting Pulsar, GRO J1744-28, during its third detected outburst since discovery and after nearly 18 years of quiescence. The source is detected up to 60 keV with an Eddington persistent flux level. Seven bursts, followed by dips, are seen with Chandra, three of which are also detected with NuSTAR. Timing analysis reveals a slight increase in the persistent emission pulsed fraction with energy (from 10% to 15%) up to 10 keV, above which it remains constant. The 0.5-70 keV spectra of the persistent and dip emission are the same within errors, and well described by a blackbody (BB), a power-law with an exponential rolloff, a 10 keV feature, and a 6.7 keV emission feature, all modified by neutral absorption. Assuming that the BB emission originates in an accretion disc, we estimate its inner (magnetospheric) radius to be about 4x10^7 cm, which translates to a surface dipole field B~9x10^10 G. The Chandra/HETG spectrum resolves the 6.7 keV feature into (quasi-)neutral and highly ionized Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission lines. XSTAR modeling shows these lines to also emanate from a truncated accretion disk. The burst spectra, with a peak flux more than an order of magnitude higher than Eddington, are well fit with a power-law with an exponential rolloff and a 10~keV feature, with similar fit values compared to the persistent and dip spectra. The burst spectra lack a thermal component and any Fe features. Anisotropic (beamed) burst emission would explain both the lack of the BB and any Fe components.
