description: Purpose: Depressive disorders cause a major burden of disease worldwide and often lead to a loss of social functioning. Patients suffering from depressive disorders report a lower quality of life (QOL) than people without a history of mental health issues. Internet-based interventions (IBIs) based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are effective in reducing symptom severity but data on their impact on quality of life in clinically depressed patients so far is scarce. Methods:Selfapy is a CBT-based IBI for depressive disorders. 401 participants (332 female, mean age 37 ( SD  = 11) with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) or dysthymia were enrolled in a randomized, parallel, three-arm trial comparing a therapist-guided Selfapy intervention with an unguided Selfapy intervention and a waiting list control. QOL was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF at baseline, post-treatment (12 weeks) and at 24-week follow-up. The effects of the interventions on QOL were calculated using linear mixed effects models. Results: At post-treatment (12 weeks) the guided and unguided intervention groups reported an increase in QOL on physical and psychological health domains compared to controls (significant group*time interaction). The gain in QOL was maintained over the follow-up period only for psychological health. QOL decreased in the social relationships and environment domains over the course of treatment and during the follow-up treatment for all participants. There were no differences between the guided and the unguided intervention. Conclusion:Selfapy proved to positively affect psychological and physical QOL in a sample of participants suffering from depressive disorders and can therefore be considered an effective and highly scalable therapeutic tool. The pattern of results might partly be attributable to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and public health measures that coincided with the trial.

description: (Abridged) AVOCADO aims at establishing firm conclusions on the formation and evolution of dwarf galaxies by constructing and analysing a homogeneous, multiwavelength dataset for a statistically significant sample of approximately 6500 nearby dwarfs (M_i > -18 mag). We present the sample selection criteria and describe the suite of analysis tools, some of them developed in the framework of the Virtual Observatory. We make use of optical spectra and UV-to-NIR imaging of the dwarf sample to derive SFRs, stellar masses, ages and metallicities - which are further supplemented with structural parameters that are used to classify them morphologically. This dataset, coupled with a detailed characterisation of each dwarf's environment, allows for a fully comprehensive investigation of their origins and to track the potential evolutionary paths between the different dwarf types. We characterise the local environment of all dwarfs in our sample, paying special attention to trends with current star formation activity. We find that virtually all quiescent dwarfs are located in the vicinity (projected distances < 1.5 Mpc) of L* companions, consistent with recent results. While star-forming dwarfs are preferentially found at separations of the order of 1 Mpc, there appears to be a tail towards low separations (<100 kpc) in the distribution of projected distances. We speculate that, modulo projection effects, this probably represents a genuine population of late-type dwarfs caught upon first infall about their host and before environmental quenching has fully operated. In this context, these results suggest that internal mechanisms -such as gas exhaustion via star formation or feedback effects- are not sufficient to completely cease the star formation activity in dwarf galaxies, and that becoming the satellite of a massive central galaxy appears to be a necessary condition to create a quiescent dwarf.

description: N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is one of the most abundant modifications of cellular RNA, where it serves various functions. m6A methylation of many viral RNA species has also been described; however, little is known about the m6A epitranscriptome of haemorrhagic fever-causing viruses like Ebola virus (EBOV). Here, we analysed the importance of the methyltransferase METTL3 for the life cycle of this virus. We found that METTL3 interacts with the EBOV nucleoprotein and the transcriptional activator VP30 to support viral RNA synthesis, and that METTL3 is recruited into EBOV inclusions bodies, where viral RNA synthesis occurs. Analysis of the m6A methylation pattern of EBOV mRNAs showed that they are methylated by METTL3. Further studies revealed that METTL3 interaction with the viral nucleoprotein, as well as its importance for RNA synthesis and protein expression, is also observed for other haemorrhagic fever viruses such as Junín virus (JUNV) and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV). The negative effects on viral RNA synthesis due to loss of m6A methylation are independent of innate immune sensing, as METTL3 knockout did not affect type I interferon induction in response to viral RNA synthesis or infection. Our results suggest a novel function for m6A that is conserved among diverse haemorrhagic fever-causing viruses (i.e. EBOV, JUNV and CCHFV), making METTL3 a promising target for broadly-acting antivirals.
Demokratisch altern. Ein Vorschlag der Gebrüder Grimm

description: Alter ist auf Demokratie angewiesen, und es ist gut beraten, selbst demokratischer zu werden. Das klingt wie ein Satz aus einem aktuellen Altersratgeber, ist aber ein Gedanke, den Jacob Grimm bereits 1860 entwickelt hat. Was kaum bekannt ist: Der berühmte Märchen- und Sprachforscher ist zugleich einer der bedeutendsten Begründer der Altersforschung in Deutschland gewesen. In seiner „Rede über das Alter“ hat Jacob Grimm eine demokratische Gesinnung zum Charakteristikum des Alters erklärt. Damit ist einerseits ein bestimmter Lebensstil gemeint: Man soll mit sich selbst demokratisch umgehen, um zwar gerade im Zeichen von Verletzlichkeit, Hinfälligkeit und Endlichkeit im Alter. Zum anderen richtet sich Grimm an die Öffentlichkeit: Es geht um einen demokratischen Umgang mit dem Alter und um Handlungsspielräume für das Alter in Kultur und Gesellschaft. Der Vortrag stellt Grimms Thesen über das Alter vor und vergleicht sie mit Aspekten der heutigen Altersdebatte.

description: Several classical constructions illustrate the fact that the chromatic number of a graph can be arbitrarily large compared to its clique number. However, until very recently, no such construction was known for intersection graphs of geometric objects in the plane. We provide a general construction that for any arc-connected compact set $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that is not an axis-aligned rectangle and for any positive integer $k$ produces a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets, each obtained by an independent horizontal and vertical scaling and translation of $X$, such that no three sets in $\mathcal{F}$ pairwise intersect and $χ(\mathcal{F})>k$. This provides a negative answer to a question of Gyarfas and Lehel for L-shapes. With extra conditions, we also show how to construct a triangle-free family of homothetic (uniformly scaled) copies of a set with arbitrarily large chromatic number. This applies to many common shapes, like circles, square boundaries, and equilateral L-shapes. Additionally, we reveal a surprising connection between coloring geometric objects in the plane and on-line coloring of intervals on the line.

description: Introduction: While cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders (ADs) has been proven to be effective and is commonly recommended, a considerable proportion of patients remain symptomatic, do not respond to treatment or discontinue it. Thus, augmentation strategies aimed at enhancing CBT outcomes are essential to reduce the burden of OCD and ADs on patients and society. Various augmentation strategies for CBT in OCD and ADs have been investigated, yet it remains unclear if they show robust beneficial effects beyond first-line CBT. With this systematic review and meta-analysis, we will provide an overview and critically assess the efficacy of non-pharmacological augmentation strategies in addition to first-line CBT treatment for symptom reduction, response rates and dropout rates in individuals with OCD or ADs. Methods and analysis: We will screen PubMed, Embase, PsycArticles, PsycInfo, CINAHL, PSYNDEX and Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials without restrictions on publication dates or languages. Additionally, forward, and backward searches of included studies and systematic reviews will be conducted. Two reviewers will independently screen the studies, extract data and assess the methodological quality of the studies. We will exclusively include randomised controlled trials. The primary outcomes will be symptom severity and response rates. Dropout rates will serve as a secondary outcome. Moreover, we will provide a narrative review of the results. We will use subgroup and meta-regression analyses to identify potential moderators and sources of between-study heterogeneity. We will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system to assess the overall quality of evidence.
Millennial Iranian American beliefs about mental health and treatment: a qualitative study
Creators: name: Rouzitalab, Sheila
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This study explored millennial Iranian Americans’ attitudes about mental illness and treatment-seeking as well as their perceptions of community beliefs and attitudes. This study centered on five questions: 1) How do millennial Iranian Americans view mental health and treatment-seeking? 2) What are the similarities and differences in beliefs about mental illness and treatment-seeking between millennial Iranian Americans and generations before them? 3) What does this population perceive to be common stressors within their ethnocultural community that could negatively impact mental health? 4) What are accepted ways in which millennial Iranian Americans cope and seek support for emotional difficulties? 5) What solutions does this population believe would improve the mental health outcomes of their ethnocultural community? Fourteen millennial Iranian Americans were interviewed using a semi-structured interview protocol. The author analyzed the interviews using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six phases of thematic analysis and found themes across the data. The themes outlined that millennial Iranian Americans view mental health as overall well-being, that they have empathy towards people with mental illness (PWMI) and are largely open to seeking professional mental health treatment (i.e., therapy and psychotropic medication). Millennial Iranian Americans highlighted that their generation tends to be more open about mental health and treatment than generations before them, and that their parents were becoming more open over time. Despite this, the Iranian American diaspora at large was still said to perpetuate stigmatizing views of people with mental illness, including beliefs that PWMI are crazy, weak, and responsible for their mental illness. Negative implications of this stigma included anticipated stigma among the general population, resulting in fear of judgment for having a mental illness or engaging in treatment, secrecy or denial about mental illness and treatment, and delaying or avoiding treatment altogether. Common stressors identified in the community were the importance of appearance and status, and immigration history and acculturative stress. Social support was a key form of coping, and public discourse and education about mental health were recommended to reduce stigma and increase treatment-seeking. Study limitations, implications, and future directions are also discussed.

description: An explicit finite-difference scheme is presented for solving the two-dimensional Biot equations of poroelasticity across the full range of frequencies. The key difficulty is to discretize the Johnson-Koplik-Dashen (JKD) model which describes the viscous dissipations in the pores. Indeed, the time-domain version of Biot-JKD model involves order 1/2 shifted fractional derivatives which amounts to a time convolution product. To avoid storing the past values of the solution, a diffusive representation of fractional derivatives is used: the convolution kernel is replaced by a finite number of memory variables that satisfy local-in-time ordinary differential equations. The coefficients of the diffusive representation follow from an optimization procedure of the dispersion relation. Then, various methods of scientific computing are applied: the propagative part of the equations is discretized using a fourth-order ADER scheme, whereas the diffusive part is solved exactly. An immersed interface method is implemented to discretize the geometry on a Cartesian grid, and also to enforce the jump conditions at interfaces. Numerical experiments are proposed in various realistic configurations.

description: Recent observations of a zero bias conductance peak in tunneling transport measurements in superconductor--semiconductor nanowire devices provide evidence for the predicted zero--energy Majorana modes, but not the conclusive proof for their existence. We establish that direct observation of a splitting of the zero bias conductance peak can serve as the smoking gun evidence for the existence of the Majorana mode. We show that the splitting has an oscillatory dependence on the Zeeman field (chemical potential) at fixed chemical potential (Zeeman field). By contrast, when the density is constant rather than the chemical potential -- the likely situation in the current experimental set-ups -- the splitting oscillations are generically suppressed. Our theory predicts the conditions under which the splitting oscillations can serve as the smoking gun for the experimental confirmation of the elusive Majorana mode.

Different groups of students were assigned to look at the ball's motion using various representations: motion diagrams, vector diagrams, free-body diagrams, verbal description, equations and graphs, drawn against time as well as against displacement. Overall, feedback from students about the lesson was positive. We further discuss the benefits of using computer simulation to support and extend student learning.

description: Optimal experimental design (OED) seeks experiments expected to yield the most useful data for some purpose. In practical circumstances where experiments are time-consuming or resource-intensive, OED can yield enormous savings. We pursue OED for nonlinear systems from a Bayesian perspective, with the goal of choosing experiments that are optimal for parameter inference. Our objective in this context is the expected information gain in model parameters, which in general can only be estimated using Monte Carlo methods. Maximizing this objective thus becomes a stochastic optimization problem. This paper develops gradient-based stochastic optimization methods for the design of experiments on a continuous parameter space. Given a Monte Carlo estimator of expected information gain, we use infinitesimal perturbation analysis to derive gradients of this estimator. We are then able to formulate two gradient-based stochastic optimization approaches: (i) Robbins-Monro stochastic approximation, and (ii) sample average approximation combined with a deterministic quasi-Newton method. A polynomial chaos approximation of the forward model accelerates objective and gradient evaluations in both cases. We discuss the implementation of these optimization methods, then conduct an empirical comparison of their performance. To demonstrate design in a nonlinear setting with partial differential equation forward models, we use the problem of sensor placement for source inversion. Numerical results yield useful guidelines on the choice of algorithm and sample sizes, assess the impact of estimator bias, and quantify tradeoffs of computational cost versus solution quality and robustness.

description: High spatial resolution low-J 12CO observations have shown that the wide-angle outflow seen in the Orion BN/KL region correlates with the famous H2 fingers. Recently, high-resolution large-scale mappings of mid- and higher-J CO emissions have been reported toward the Orion molecular cloud 1 core region using the APEX telescope. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate this outflow in the higher-J 12CO emission, which is likely excited by shocks. The observations were carried out using the dual-color heterodyne array CHAMP+ on the APEX telescope. The images of the Orion BN/KL region were obtained in the 12CO J=6-5 and J=7-6 transitions with angular resolutions of 8.6 and 7.4 arcsec, respectively. The results show a good agreement between our higher-J 12CO emission and SMA low-J 12CO data, which indicates that this wide-angle outflow in Orion BN/KL is likely the result of an explosive event that is related to the runaway objects from a dynamically decayed multiple system. From our observations, we estimate that the kinetic energy of this explosive outflow is about 1-2x10^47 erg. In addition, a scenario has been proposed where part of the outflow is decelerated and absorbed in the cloud to explain the lack of CO bullets in the southern part of BN/KL, which in turn induces the methanol masers seen in this region.

description: In this paper, a new formulation for the three dimensional Euler equations is derived. Since the Euler system is hyperbolic-elliptic coupled in a subsonic region, so an effective decoupling of the hyperbolic and elliptic modes is essential for any development of the theory. The key idea in our formulation is to use the Bernoulli's law to reduce the dimension of the velocity field by defining new variables $(1,β_2=\frac{u_2}{u_1},β_3=\frac{u_3}{u_1})$ and replacing $u_1$ by the Bernoulli's function $B$ through $u_1^2=\frac{2(B-h(ρ))}{1+β_2^2+β_3^2}$. We find a conserved quantity for flows with a constant Bernoulli's function, which behaves like the scaled vorticity in the 2-D case. More surprisingly, a system of new conservation laws can be derived, which is new even in the two dimensional case. We use this new formulation to construct a smooth subsonic Euler flow in a rectangular cylinder, which is also required to be adjacent to some special subsonic states.

description: Newest vertex bisection (NVB) is a popular local mesh-refinement strategy for regular triangulations which consist of simplices. For the 2D case, we prove that the mesh-closure step of NVB, which preserves regularity of the triangulation, is quasi-optimal and that the corresponding L2-projection onto lowest-order Courant finite elements (P1-FEM) is always H1-stable. Throughout, no additional assumptions on the initial triangulation are imposed. Our analysis thus improves results of Binev, Dahmen & DeVore (Numer. Math. 97, 2004), Carstensen (Constr. Approx. 20, 2004), and Stevenson (Math. Comp. 77, 2008) in the sense that all assumptions of their theorems are removed. Consequently, our results relax the requirements under which adaptive finite element schemes can be mathematically guaranteed to convergence with quasi-optimal rates.

description: Spotted-wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is an economically-important pest of small fruits worldwide. Currently, timing of management is based on morphological identification of adult flies captured in baited monitoring traps; however, distinguishing SWD from other native drosophilids in traps is a time-consuming process that requires magnification. And a degree-day model that could help small fruit growers understand and predict the seasonal activity of this pest has not been developed for Indiana. Due to the low tolerance for maggots in fruit market, most small fruit growers rely on intensive, insecticide applications on a calendar-based schedule without guidance on the activity levels of SWD. A total of 6,051 SWD adults were monitored weekly using commercial Scentry traps at three highbush blueberry orchards during May to August. I applied the published SWD developmental thresholds of 7.2 °C (lower) and 31.5 °C (upper) and the single-sine method to calculate accumulated degree days in the year of 2021 and 2022. A predictive model from two years of data at three locations exhibited an S-shaped curve, with 5%, 25%, and 50% of adults detected at ~907, 1,293, and 1,523 CDD, respectively. By examining infestations in three varieties, ‘Bluecrop’, ‘Blueray’, and ‘Elliot’, I found that blueberry infestation rate increased as the trap captures increased. The use of early-ripening highbush blueberry varieties can reduce infestation and regardless of variety, as berries became softer, the number of SWD egg scars in berries increased. DNA-based diagnostic methods, like loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), have the potential to improve SWD detection by replacing morphological identification with DNA-based identification. Positive results of the LAMP assay are based on a visible color change from pink to yellow when focal DNA is present. I tested the reliability of LAMP results using SWD DNA and then evaluated the sensitivity of LAMP in discriminating between SWD and two native drosophilids common captured in monitoring traps in Indiana, Drosophila affinis and D. simulans. I found the LAMP assay can quickly and accurately identify SWD with as little as 0.1 ng/μl of DNA. Following optimization, the assay also suggested success in discriminating between SWD and these two native species: it only requires an individual fly, DNA extraction is not necessary. By better predicting seasonal SWD activity and optimizing DNA-based diagnostics for this pest, this study can help improve the timely detection of SWD and the management in small fruit systems.

description: The aim of this project is to investigate the behavour of a major European and
global economy, that of the U.K. The norm used to do that was the I.E.C. The data
collected was used to fit a sigmoid curve with variables the cumulative I.E.C. vs.
time in years. Subsequently, the percentage difference between the various data
points and the ideal sigmoid was calculated for each year, which was used to
create a Kondratiev Wave (K-wave or Long wave) curve, the parameters of which,
including each period, were evaluated. Matlab was used as a tool to form both
curves. The results were then compared to a number of brake points of the U.K.’s
economy and it was verified that those two did not contradict. Finally an attempt
of a short term prediction was held and a number of propositions of future work
on this project were given.

description: We propose a general formula for the perturbative large N superconformal index of 5d quiver fixed point theories that have an AdS(6)xS(4)/Z(n) supergravity dual. This index is obtained from the parent theory by projecting to orbifold-invariant states and adding the twisted sector contributions. Our result agrees with expectations from the dual supergravity description. We test our formula against the direct computation of the index for Z(2) and Z(3) and find complete agreement.

description: This study presents the basic lines of electronic administration in Spain. The complexity of the Spanish political-administrative system makes such a study challenging, in view of the considerable degree of autonomy and competences of the regional administrative bodies and local agencies with respect to the central government, the former being more visible in the 17 regions of Spain. Nonetheless, the central government maintains a series of legal instruments that allow a certain common framework of action to be imposed, aside from what is put into effect through diverse programs aimed precisely to develop common tools for the regions and municipalities of Spain. After an introduction that provides some necessary background, this study describes the legislative framework in which Spain's electronic administrative system has developed. The data included in the study refer to investment in information and communication technologies (ICT) and the services offered by the different Administrations on the internet; internet access by citizens, homes, businesses, and employees, as well as the interactivity existing with administrations by means of the internet; the origins and rise of various political initiatives of the Central Government involving electronic administration; and finally, the situation of civil service personnel, as catalysts of the success of Information Society in the Public Administration within Spain.

description: Scholars in the humanities interested in how the fertile concept of the parasite can shed light on works of literature and other cultural products, have several theoretical resources they can draw upon. This article compares three of the most important ones, in order to discuss their similarities and differences, and also to bring out their respective strengths and weaknesses: the deconstructive philosophy of Jacques Derrida, Michel Serres’ work, and advances in biological thought following from Leigh Van Valen’s so-called »Red Queen hypothesis«. Even if Serres offers a more comprehensive understanding of the parasite than does Derrida, the latter’s insights are still needed. As I argue in the article, the reason is that they can help counter an unfortunate tendency in Serres’ writings that has led to his book The Parasite being read in two opposed, but equally problematical ways. My central claim is that the most productive starting point for a better theory of the parasite is to be found in the triangulation of insights from Serres, Derrida, and the Red Queen.
description: Das Konzept des Parasiten bietet für die Untersuchung literarischer Texte und anderer Kulturerzeugnisse ein ergiebiges Feld. Geisteswissenschaftler_innen stehen dabei verschiedene theoretische Ansätze zur Verfügung. In dem vorliegenden Artikel werden drei der bedeutendsten Ansätze auf ihre Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede hin verglichen und ihre jeweiligen Stärken und Schwächen herausgearbeitet: Jacques Derridas dekonstruktivistische Philosophie, Michel Serresʼ Arbeiten zum Parasiten und die »Red Queen Hypothesis« des Biologen Leigh Van Valen. Auch wenn Serresʼ Verständnis des Parasiten umfassender ist als dasjenige Derridas, argumentiere ich, dass Derridas Einsichten helfen können, eine zu einseitige Lektüre von Serresʼ Der Parasit zu vermeiden, die sich aus einer unglücklichen Tendenz ergeben hat, seine Argumentation auf zwei entgegengesetzte, aber gleichermaßen problematische Weisen zu verstehen. Der Artikel dient als Plädoyer dafür, dass der produktivste Ausgangspunkt für eine adäquatere Theorie des Parasiten in der Triangulation der Erkenntnisse von Serres, Derrida und der »Red Queen Hypothesis« zu finden ist.
