description: Urbanization is advancing rapidly in many areas of the United States, yet urban areas occupy only about 10 percent of the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, where there is the greatest concentration of population. Moreover, the current rate of urbanization has had little apparent impact on total U.S. agricultural production. Seventy percent of the U.S. population lives within the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's)—counties or groups of counties with urban concentrations of 50,000 or more people. Over 80 percent of the population increase between 1960 and 1970 occurred in SMSA's. About 7 million acres, an average of nearly one-third of an acre per capita population increase, shifted to urban uses within SMSA's during that time. Only 10 percent of the total area of SMSA's was in urban uses in 1970. Twenty-four percent was cropland, 19 percent pasture and range, 32 percent woodland, and 15 percent miscellaneous. SMSA's comprise 13 percent of the land area of the 48 contiguous states; but 17 percent of the farms, 14 percent of cropland harvested, and 21 percent of the value of farm products sold were reported from these areas in 1969. Overall, the proportion of the total value of farm products sold in SMSA's decreased slightly between 1959 and 1969. Of the eight highest valued crops, the proportion produced within SMSA's increased for four crops and decreased for the others during this period.

description: Farmers used 494 million pounds of pesticides in 1971 (exclusive of sulfur and petroleum)—a 40-percent increase over 1966. Crops accounted for close to 94 percent of the use of these pesticides. Herbicides, the major farm pesticide products, accounted for 228 million pounds, twice the amount in 1966. Almost all of the herbicides were used on crops, and 45 percent of these on corn. Farmers used about 170 million pounds of insecticides in 1971, up 14 percent over 1966. Cotton was the major recipient of insecticide products, accounting for over 47 percent of those used on crops. Farm use of fungicides amounted to almost 42 million pounds, and miscellaneous pesticides accounted for over 54 million pounds. Information is presented on leading products such as methyl parathion, toxaphene, and 2,4-D. Approximately 96 pesticides (individual products or groups of products) are included in the study, which is based on a survey of about 8,600 farmers throughout the United States (excluding Alaska). Survey data were expanded to represent regional and U.S. pesticide usage for selected crops, livestock, and other purposes.

description: This entry examines multilingual commercial films by Pakistani women screen writers, directors, and producers. Set against the backdrop of Pakistan’s political inconsistency — the problems of migration and rehabilitation, East-West polity issues, and sovereign changes, the entry points to over three hundred commercial films that some eighty women producers and directors have made in Pakistan over the past seventy years. Starting with Saeeda Bano (Swaran Lata) as the producer of the first Pakistani Punjabi feature film Pheray (Marriage; Majeed 1949), and Noor Jehan as the first woman director of a Punjabi film Chanvay (Dearest; 1951), bilingual or trilingual women filmmakers have consistently made Urdu, Punjabi. and Pashto films while the Sindhi cinema has declined. Women made romantic musicals or mixed genres — romantic with social, fiction, fantasy, folklore, crime or history whose renditions cover Sindhi folklores, Pashto film crimes, Punjabi liberalism, and Urdu traditionalism. The entry finds that women made Sindhi films a decade and a half before making Pashto films. The women from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) did well under the successive regimes of Yahya, Bhutto and Zia, but it was actually during Zia’s period (of the so-called Islamization and terrorization) that eight out of a total of fifteen women filmmakers of Pashto films joined the silver screen, denying the social reality of the real (faceless) women of KPK through women who are open with their emotions, gaze, and sexuality in films. The article examines women’s identity and gaze issues in Amrita Pritam, Maya Devi, and Rukhsana Noor’s textual contributions to Pakistani commercial films and the musicals of Saeeda Bano, Salma Mumtaz, Noor Jehan, Shamim Ara and Sangeeta.

description: This entry examines commercial films as sites for the representation of women, gender and Islamic cultures. Authors are asked to critically write on the form and content of these films. Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the cinematic conventions of representation, objectification. Authors are asked to consider feminist theoretical insights about voyeurism and the politics of the “gaze”. The authors may also pay attention to the themes of these depictions as well as their socio-historical and political contexts. Authors are asked to examine the national and transnational reception of these films, and the consumption and marketing of these narratives in the international market. Authors are asked to be attentive to the representations of women’s experiences and voices.

Micropedia (Abstract): This article examines how women and gender have been represented in films from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, keeping in mind the origins of romantic musicals in Bharata Muni’s Natya Shastra and in Parsi musical theatre. Focusing on the modest chhooi-mooi girl, a popular jutty, a folklore protagonist (Heer), and a dirty dancer, the article highlights the modesty of the “ideal” chhooi-mooi girl and the defiance, tenacity, and decision power of Heer. Discussing the politics of quality and identity, the article examines the conditions of these two women to find that the chhooi-mooi girl is a quality (a symbol of femininity), while Heer is a symbol of identity (female agency). Real Pakistani women oscillate between the conditions of these two women in their struggle to survive, love a man of their choice, or just live happily. Films reinforce the stereotypes of self-sacrificing, subservient women who either avoid or seek men’s company under the symbolic order.

description: The recycling of dried layer waste (DLW) as feed to livestock and poultry is examined in considerable detail, but less information is available on recycling broiler waste. The cost of pollution abatement associated with alternative poultry-waste management systems is also analyzed. The cost of producing 1 ton of DLW is $25, $30, and $46 for flock sizes of 80,000, 50,000 and 10,000 cage layers, respectively. Using available drying systems, onfarm processing and feeding of DLW do not appear to be economically feasible for the family-size (10,000 layer) operation. However, processing and feeding DLW may be feasible for the larger operations. The highest net returns are attained by the larger operations when DLW is fed at 12.5 percent of the ration. Cost analyses of the alternative methods of waste abatement show land disposal and anaerobic lagoon treatment to be the least expensive. Mechanical drying, aerobic lagoon treatment, oxidation ditch treatment, and combined anerobic-aerobic lagoon treatment fall within the intermediate cost range. Composting and incineration are the most expensive.
The Vertical Structure and Kinematics of Grand Design Spirals

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We use an N-body simulation to study the 3-D density distribution of spirals, and the resulting stellar vertical velocities. Relative to the disc's rotation, the phase of the spiral's peak density away from the mid-plane trails that at the mid-plane. In addition, at fixed radius the density distribution is azimuthally skewed, having a shallower slope on the trailing side inside corotation and switching to shallower on the leading side beyond corotation. The spirals induce non-zero average vertical velocities, , as large as ~ 10-20 km/s, consistent with recent observations in the Milky Way. The vertical motions are compressive (towards the mid-plane) as stars enter the spiral, and expanding (away from the mid-plane) as they leave it. Since stars enter the spiral on the leading side outside corotation and on the trailing side within corotation, the relative phase of the expanding and compressive motions switches sides at corotation. Moreover, because stars always enter the spiral on the shallow density gradient side and exit on the steeper side, the expanding motions are larger than the compressing motions.

description: Net returns in 1972 were a record high on viable commercial cattle ranches in the Southwest, one of the most important feeder calf producing areas in the United States. Favorable range conditions that reversed the drought situation of previous years and recordbreaking prices received for cattle in 1972 combined to boost returns to ranchers. Returns were large enough to pay ranchers an adequate wage for their labor, with some opportunity to reduce burgeoning indebtedness.

description: The Geiseltal biota is an Eocene lacustrine Konservat-Lagerstätte in central Germany. Despite its rich fauna and flora (over 50 000 fossil vertebrates, insects and other invertebrates, plants and trace fossils) the taphonomy of the biota, and of the anurans in particular, is poorly understood. We analysed the skeletal taphonomy of 168 anurans, scoring each specimen for orientation, completeness and articulation. Most are partial skeletons, truncated during preparation. This process introduces measurable artefacts into the taphonomic data, which requires further study. We identified recurring taphonomic states, including disarticulation or loss of abdominal bones, loss of one or more limbs, extensive disarticulation, and extensive loss of elements across the body. Relatively rare states include: loss of distal limb elements only, scattered bones, and isolated, articulated limbs. These data inform a new taphonomic model for the Geiseltal anurans. Comparative analysis of patterns in completeness and articulation in these specimens and anurans from other Cenozoic Lagerstätten reveals repeated patterns in preservation in lacustrine-hosted settings, such as proximal to distal trends in completeness, preferential loss of small peripheral bones, disarticulation of abdominal bones, and reorientation of major body regions. Taphonomic controls in lacustrine systems are surface water temperature, lake depth, vegetation, exposure to bottom currents, transport mechanisms, scavenging, decay regime, bone size and location in the skeleton; all ultimately controlled by palaeoclimate, lake physiography and hydrology, and anuran anatomy. A universal approach to quantitative analysis of skeletal taphonomy metrics will enable comparative testing of the relationship between preservation and palaeoenvironment for diverse fossil vertebrates.
On the quantisation of gravity by embedding spacetime in a higher dimensional space

description: Certain difficulties of quantum gravity can be avoided if we embed the spacetime $V_4$ into a higher dimensional space $V_N$; then our spacetime is merely a 4-surface in $V_N$.What remains is conceptually not so difficult: just to quantise this 4-surface. Our formal procedure generalises our version of Stueckelberg's proper time method of worldline quantisation. We write the equations of $V_4$ in the covariant canonical form starting from a model Lagrangian which contains the classical Einstein gravity as a particular case. Then we perform quantisation in the Schrödinger picture by using the concepts of a phase functional and wave functional. As a result we obtain the uncertainty relations which imply that an observer is `aware' either of a particular spacetime surface and has no information about other spacetime surfaces (which represent alternative histories); or conversely, he loses information about a particular $V_4$ whilst he obtains some information about other spacetimes (and histories). Equivalently, one cannot measure to an arbitrary precision both the metric on $V_4$ and matter distribution on various alternative spacetime surfaces. We show how this special case in the `coordinate' representations can be generalised to an arbitrary vector in an abstract Hilbert space.

description: In addition to involvement in epigenetic gene regulation, histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate multiple cellular processes through mediating the activity of non-histone protein substrates. The knockdown of HDAC8 isozyme is associated with the inhibition of cell proliferation and apoptosis enhancement in several cancer cell lines. As shown in several studies, HDAC8 can be considered a potential target in the treatment of cancer forms such as childhood neuroblastoma. The present work describes the development of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) of HDAC8 based on substituted benzhydroxamic acids previously reported as potent and selective HDAC8 inhibitors. Within this study, we investigated the HDAC8-degrading profiles of the synthesized PROTACs and their effect on the proliferation of neuroblastoma cells. The combination of in vitro screening and cellular testing demonstrated selective HDAC8 PROTACs that show anti-neuroblastoma activity in cells.

description: We give results of a low-resolution optical spectroscopic study of the bright nebulous stars conforming the tight stellar trapezium embedded in IRAS06548-0815, of the exciting star of IRAS06547-0810, and of the stars associated with reflection nebulae (R-or N-stars) NJ065703.0-081421, NJ065714.1-081016, IRAS06548-0815 D and IRAS06548-0815 G, all objects scarcely observed and apparently pertaining to the dark cloud LDN 1655. Our results given here combined with the corresponding 2MASS near infrared photometry enables us to estimate a photometric distance to LDN1655 of 1.9 kpc and to locate the trapezium stars on the (log Lstar/Lsun, logTeff) or HR diagram in an attempt to disclose about their true nature. The spectroscopy of IRAS06548-0815 revealed two classic T Tauri, two Herbig Ae/Be stars, four weak-line T Tauri stars, and two probable lithium-rich stars. Additionally, we found that the R-star IRAS06547-0810 is excited by a single B1(V) star, that IRAS06548-0815 D is excited by a SpT. B2/B3(V) star, NJ065703.0-081421 and NJ065714.1-081016 are excited by a B3/B4(V) emission star and an A6(V) star, respectively. The brightest near infrared source of the trapezium, IRS1, has an infrared luminosity comparable to a highly reddened O8(V) star (Av of 29m). The second brightest near infrared source of the trapezium, IRAS06548-0815 C is, optically, a single classical T Tauri star of spectral type K4/K5, but is a resolved binary in the 2MASSKs band, both components being of about the same brightness.

description: Recent years have seen growing interest in exploiting dual- and multi-energy measurements in computed tomography (CT) in order to characterize material properties as well as object shape. Material characterization is performed by decomposing the scene into constitutive basis functions, such as Compton scatter and photoelectric absorption functions. While well motivated physically, the joint recovery of the spatial distribution of photoelectric and Compton properties is severely complicated by the fact that the data are several orders of magnitude more sensitive to Compton scatter coefficients than to photoelectric absorption, so small errors in Compton estimates can create large artifacts in the photoelectric estimate. To address these issues, we propose a model-based iterative approach which uses patch-based regularization terms to stabilize inversion of photoelectric coefficients, and solve the resulting problem though use of computationally attractive Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) solution techniques. Using simulations and experimental data acquired on a commercial scanner, we demonstrate that the proposed processing can lead to more stable material property estimates which should aid materials characterization in future dual- and multi-energy CT systems.

description: Excerpts from the report Preface: The report addresses primary questions concerning the fertilizer situation. How tight is the current supply and demand balance? Where might shortages occur? What will be their intact? Is the current situation indicative of even larger shortages in the future? What barriers loom, and how can they be overcome? What policy measures are needed to correct the situation? Attention is directed to the situation and outlook in the United States and the world with emphasis on less developed countries. Because of inadequate data, the situation in individual States or localities within the United States could not be explicitly addressed. It should not be inferred, however, that the situation in these areas parallels that for the United States. Conditions vary considerably, and the severity of the problem in some areas greatly exceeds that for the United States in general.

description: Transition-metal dichalcogenides intercalated with 3d-transition metals within the van der Waals (vdW) gaps have been the focus of intense investigations owing to their fascinating structural and magnetic properties. At certain concentrations the intercalated atoms form ordered superstructures that exhibit ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic ordering. Here we show that the self-intercalated compound Cr1+δTe2 with δ ≈ 0.3 exhibits a new, so far unseen, three-dimensionally ordered (2×2×2) superstructure. Furthermore, high resolution X-ray diffraction reveals that there is an asymmetric occupation of the two inequivalent vdW gaps in the unit cell. The structure thus lacks inversion symmetry, which, thereby, allows for chiral non-collinear magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, Néel-type skyrmions are directly observed using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. The skyrmions are stable within the accessible temperature range (100–200 K) as well as in zero magnetic field. The diameter of the Néel skyrmions increases with lamella thickness and varies with applied magnetic field, indicating the role of long-range dipole fields. Our studies show that self-intercalation in vdW materials is a novel route to the formation of synthetic non-collinear spin textures.

description: In this work we devise a new method to study quark anti-quark interactions beyond simple ladder-exchange that yield massless pions in the chiral limit. The method is based on the requirement to have a representation of the quark-gluon vertex that is explicitly given in terms of quark dressings functions. We outline a general procedure to generate the Bethe-Salpeter kernel for a given vertex representation. Our method allows not only the identification of the mesons' masses but also the extraction of their Bethe-Salpeter wave functions exposing their internal structure. We exemplify our method with vertex models that are of phenomenological interest.

description: We consider the reaction-diffusion problem $-Δ_g u = f(u)$ in $\mathcal{B}_R$ with zero Dirichlet boundary condition, posed in a geodesic ball $\mathcal{B}_R$ with radius $R$ of a Riemannian model $(M,g)$. This class of Riemannian manifolds includes the classical \textit{space forms}, i.e., the Euclidean, elliptic, and hyperbolic spaces. For the class of semistable solutions we prove radial symmetry and monotonicity. Furthermore, we establish $L^\infty$, $L^p$, and $W^{1,p}$ estimates which are optimal and do not depend on the nonlinearity $f$. As an application, under standard assumptions on the nonlinearity $λf(u)$, we prove that the corresponding extremal solution $u^*$ is bounded whenever $n\leq9$. To establish the optimality of our regularity results we find the extremal solution for some exponential and power nonlinearities using an improved weighted Hardy inequality.

description: Despite the global interest in green energy alternatives, little attention has focused on the large-scale viability of recycling the ground heat accumulated due to urbanization, industrialization and climate change. Here we show this theoretical heat potential at a multi-continental scale by first leveraging datasets of groundwater temperature and lithology to assess the distribution of subsurface thermal pollution. We then evaluate subsurface heat recycling for three scenarios: a status quo scenario representing present-day accumulated heat, a recycled scenario with ground temperatures returned to background values, and a climate change scenario representing projected warming impacts. Our analyses reveal that over 50% of sites show recyclable underground heat pollution in the status quo, 25% of locations would be feasible for long-term heat recycling for the recycled scenario, and at least 83% for the climate change scenario. Results highlight that subsurface heat recycling warrants consideration in the move to a low-carbon economy in a warmer world.

description: Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC) is emerging as global problem with unknown molecular drivers. Using a digital epidemiology approach, we recruited 8,077 individuals to the cohort study for digital health research in Germany (DigiHero) to respond to a basic questionnaire followed by a PASC-focused survey and blood sampling. We report the first 318 participants, the majority thereof after mild infections. Of those, 67.8% report PASC, predominantly consisting of fatigue, dyspnea, and concentration deficit, which persists in 60% over the mean 8-month follow-up period and resolves independently of post-infection vaccination. PASC is not associated with autoantibodies, but with elevated IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF plasma levels, which we confirm in a validation cohort with 333 additional participants and a longer time from infection of 10 months. Blood profiling and single-cell data from early infection suggest the induction of these cytokines in COVID-19 lung pro-inflammatory macrophages creating a self-sustaining feedback loop.

description: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important epigenetic regulators involved in many diseases, especially cancer. Five HDAC inhibitors have been approved for anticancer therapy and many are in clinical trials. Among the 11 zinc-dependent HDACs, HDAC10 has received relatively little attention by drug discovery campaigns, despite its involvement, e. g., in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma. This is due in part to a lack of robust enzymatic conversion assays. In contrast to the protein lysine deacetylase and deacylase activity of most other HDAC subtypes, it has recently been shown that HDAC10 has strong preferences for deacetylation of oligoamine substrates like acetyl-putrescine or -spermidine. Hence, it is also termed a polyamine deacetylase (PDAC). Here, we present the first fluorescent enzymatic conversion assay for HDAC10 using an aminocoumarin-labelled acetyl-spermidine derivative to measure its PDAC activity, which is suitable for high-throughput screening. Using this assay, we identified potent inhibitors of HDAC10-mediated spermidine deacetylation in vitro. Based on the oligoamine preference of HDAC10, we also designed inhibitors with a basic moiety in appropriate distance to the zinc binding hydroxamate that showed potent inhibition of HDAC10 with high selectivity, and we solved a HDAC10-inhibitor structure using X-ray crystallography. We could demonstrate selective cellular target engagement for HDAC10 but a lysosomal phenotype in neuroblastoma cells that was previously associated with HDAC10 inhibition was not observed. Thus, we have developed new chemical probes for HDAC10 that allow further clarification of the biological role of this enzyme.

description: Even though there are reported methods for the quantification of free amino acids (FAAs) in biological products, no work has been done on the analysis of these substances in formulations. Moreover, further research is required as the reported methods do not fulfill analytical method requirements. The objective of this study was, therefore, to develop and validate a rapid, reliable, and appropriate RP-HPLC/DAD method for the simultaneous determination of 18 FAAs (l-Ala, l-Arg, l-Asn, l-Asp, l-Gln, l-Glu, l-Gly, l-His, l-Ile, l-Lue, l-Lys, l-Met, l-Orn, l-Phe, l-Pro, l-Ser, l-Thr, and l-Val) in topical formulations. After appropriate method development, the technique was validated for selectivity, linearity and range, limit of detection, limit of quantification, precision, and accuracy. The samples were derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl). Chromatographic separation was performed on InfinityLab Poroshell 120 E.C 18 (3 × 50) mm, 2.7 μm column at 25 °C. The mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile adjusted to appropriate pH was pumped in gradient mode at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min. Ten microliters were injected and analyte detection was conducted using a DAD. The results indicate that the method was selective for these FAAs. It was linear over the concentration range of 5–80 µM with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.995. Moreover, it was sensitive, precise, accurate, and robust. All the reported drawbacks of RP-HPLC-based analysis of FAAs were resolved, and hence, this new method can be considered appropriate for the analysis of these FAAs in topical formulations.

description: We study the star-formation history of the Galactic bulge, as derived from the age distribution of the central stars of planetary nebulae that belong to this stellar population. The high resolution imaging and spectroscopic observations of 31 compact planetary nebulae are used to derive their central star masses. The Bloecker tracks with the cluster IFMR result in ages, which are unexpectedly young. We find that the Bloecker post-AGB tracks need to be accelerated by a factor of three to fit the local white dwarf masses. This acceleration extends the age distribution. We adjust the IFMR as a free parameter to map the central star ages on the full age range of bulge stellar populations. This fit requires a steeper IFMR than the cluster relation. We find a star-formation rate in the Galactic bulge, which is approximately constant between 3 and 10 Gyr ago. The result indicates that planetary nebulae are mainly associated with the younger and more metal-rich bulge populations. The constant rate of star-formation between 3 and 10 Gyr agrees with suggestions that the metal-rich component of the bulge is formed during an extended process, such as a bar interaction.

description: In this letter we consider the collinear limit of gluon scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM theory at strong coupling. We argue that in this limit scattering amplitudes map into correlators of twist fields in the two dimensional non-linear O(6) sigma model, similar to those appearing in recent studies of entanglement entropy. We provide evidence for this assertion by combining the intuition springing from the string worldsheet picture and the predictions coming from the OPE series. One of the main implications of these considerations is that scattering amplitudes receive equally important contributions at strong coupling from both the minimal string area and its fluctuations in the sphere.

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators in the intercellular communication, influencing the function and phenotype of different cell types within the tumor micro-milieu and thus promote tumor progression. Since EVs safely transport packages of proteins, lipids and also nucleic acids such as miRNAs, EVs and their cargo can serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate EV embedded miRNAs specific for melanoma, which could serve as potential biomarkers. In contrast to previous studies, we not only analysed miRNAs from EVs, but also included the miRNA profiles from the EV-secreting cells to identify candidates as suitable biomarkers. While the characterization of EVs derived from normal melanocytes and melanoma cells showed largely comparable properties with regard to size distribution and expression of protein markers, the NGS analyses yielded marked differences for several miRNAs. While miRNA load of EVs derived from normal human epidermal melanocytes (NHEMs) and melanoma cells were very similar, they were highly different from their secreting cells. By comprehensive analyses, six miRNAs were identified to be enriched in both melanoma cells and melanoma cell-derived EVs. Of those, the accumulation of miR-92b-3p, miR-182-5p and miR-183-5p in EVs could be validated in vitro. By functional network generation and pathway enrichment analysis we revealed an association with different tumor entities and signaling pathways contributing melanoma progression. Furthermore, we found that miR-92b-3p, miR-182-5p and miR-183-5p were also enriched in EVs derived from serum of melanoma patients. Our results support the hypothesis that miRNAs derived from EVs can serve as prognostic or diagnostic liquid biopsy markers in melanoma. We identified EV-derived miRNAs and showed that those miRNAs, which were enriched in melanoma cells and EVs, are also found elevated in serum-derived EVs of patients with metastatic melanoma, but not in healthy subjects.
title: Clinical features of encephalitis in children and comparison with adults

description: Encephalitis in children is a life-threatening illness with severe long term sequalae common in survivors. The burden of illness to those afflicted is exacerbated by under recognition and late diagnosis. There has been minimal work done on attempting to quantify encephalitis in children, and the context in which it presents or any comparison with adults. This information can be used to develop mechanisms of early identification to facilitate earlier treatment and improve outcomes.

This PhD Project aimed to describe the incidence, burden, distinguishing features, and outcomes of encephalitis in children, and then compare them with data from a national study. Using data from a national study on childhood meningitis and encephalitis (UK-ChiMES), I found large numbers of children who met suspected encephalitis criteria had other childhood conditions, most pronounced in children under 1 year of age. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and enterovirus were two of the commonest causes. Suppurative bacteria was a frequent cause of encephalitis in children under 1 year of age and was associated with higher early warning scores and low cerebrospinal fluid glucose. Autoimmune encephalitis in children over 1 year of age was associated with lethargy. In common with other childhood cohorts there was a significant number of children with encephalitis from an unknown cause. I found there was a large burden of illness and significant long-term sequalae in these children. Poor long-term outcome was found in few children and were associated with admission to intensive care. 

Subsequently, I used the same approach to analyse and contrast these paediatric findings with an adult population recruited from a trial of dexamethasone in Herpes Simplex Virus Encephalitis (DexEnceph). I found there was some commonality in presentation of illness but that outcomes in this adult population were dependent on increased age, decreased consciousness and time until aciclovir.

The unique differences of the paediatric population are further apparent in comparison with other adult populations in the literature. In contrast with adults, children present more commonly with suspected encephalitis like illnesses, have different aetiologies of disease and improved outcomes. This work also advocates for early adoption of neuroimaging and lumbar puncture to facilitate the rapid identification and treatment of encephalitis and other serious neurological conditions.
All set in stone? : how essentialist beliefs about aging affect older workers' motivation to continue working beyond retirement age

description: Although population aging requires that employees increasingly work beyond traditional retirement ages, negative age stereotypes often portray older workers as unwilling or unable to work longer. However, recent lifespan developmental research suggests that there are significant individual differences in how fixed versus malleable people perceive the aging process possibly affecting how they envision their occupational future. We develop and test a theoretical model on the role of essentialist beliefs about aging (i.e., the extent to which people believe that aging is an immutable, genetically determined process) in shaping occupational future time perspective and, in turn, motivation to continue working beyond retirement age. Specifically, we hypothesized that older workers (40–65 years) who more strongly endorse essentialist beliefs about aging will be less motivated to continue working beyond retirement age, because they have a more constrained occupational future time perspective. On the basis of a three-wave study (N = 617) and an experiment (N = 358), we find evidence for our proposed indirect effect model, above and beyond previously established control variables (e.g., age, income, health, and age stereotypes). Our findings advance theorizing on work motivation in later adulthood and have important organizational implications in the context of demographic change.
