description: Background: There is evidence of pre-established vulnerability in individuals that increases the risk of their progression to severe disease or death, although the mechanisms causing this are still not fully understood. Previous research has demonstrated that a urinary peptide classifier (COV50) predicts disease progression and death from SARS-CoV-2 at an early stage, indicating that the outcome prediction may be partly due to vulnerabilities that are already present. The aim of this study is to examine the ability of COV50 to predict future non-COVID-19-related mortality, and evaluate whether the pre-established vulnerability can be generic and explained on a molecular level by urinary peptides. Methods: Urinary proteomic data from 9193 patients (1719 patients sampled at intensive care unit (ICU) admission and 7474 patients with other diseases (non-ICU)) were extracted from the Human Urinary Proteome Database. The previously developed COV50 classifier, a urinary proteomics biomarker panel consisting of 50 peptides, was applied to all datasets. The association of COV50 scoring with mortality was evaluated. Results: In the ICU group, an increase in the COV50 score of one unit resulted in a 20% higher relative risk of death [adjusted HR 1.2 (95% CI 1.17–1.24)]. The same increase in COV50 in non-ICU patients resulted in a higher relative risk of 61% [adjusted HR 1.61 (95% CI 1.47–1.76)], consistent with adjusted meta-analytic HR estimate of 1.55 [95% CI 1.39–1.73]. The most notable and significant changes associated with future fatal events were reductions of specific collagen fragments, most of collagen alpha I (I). Conclusion: The COV50 classifier is predictive of death in the absence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, suggesting that it detects pre-existing vulnerability. This prediction is mainly based on collagen fragments, possibly reflecting disturbances in the integrity of the extracellular matrix. These data may serve as a basis for proteomics-guided intervention aiming towards manipulating/ improving collagen turnover, thereby reducing the risk of death.

description: BACKGROUND: With the exception of the FDA-approved valrubicin and pembrolizumab, there are no standard second-line treaments for BCG-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). OBJECTIVES: To provide a systematic review of the novel intravesically administered therapeutic agents for the salvage treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. METHODS: Online search of the PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases was performed. The endpoints of this review were to evaluate the efficacy of the agents in terms of complete response rates (CR) and durability of CR, overall survival, recurrence-free survival and cancer-specific survival and to report on their toxicity profile. A search on Clinicaltrials.gov was performed to identify ongoing clinical trials. RESULTS: 14 studies were included in this review. The critical clinical need for the development of an effective, safe and durable intravesical drug for the salvage treatment of high-risk NMIBC seems to be met mainly by intravesical gene therapy; in fact, data support the FDA-approved nadofaragene firadenovec as a potentially important therapeutic advancement in this context. Promising results are also being obtained by the combination of N-803/BCG and by innovative drug delivery systems. CONCLUSIONS: Considering the plethora of novel intravesical treatments that have completed phase II evaluation, one can reasonably expect that clinicians will soon have at their disposal new agents and treatment options for BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. In the near future, it will be up to the urologist to identify, for each specific patient, the right agent to use, based on safety, results and cost-effectiveness.

description: Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), poly(hexamethylene succinate) (PHS) and three kinds of poly(butylene succinate-co-hexamethylene succinate)s (P(BS-co-HS)s) were enzymatically hydrolyzed by Fusarium solani cutinase. The results showed that the characteristics of the enzymatic hydrolysis of these polyesters were mainly affected by crystallinity, thermal properties and the BS/HS ratio. The enzymatic hydrolysis rates of the polyesters are as follows: P(BS-co-HS52) ≈ P(BS-co-HS71) > PHS > P(BS-co-HS32) > PBS. Furthermore, with increasing HS content, both the degree of crystallinity (Xc) and melting temperature (Tm) of the polyesters first decreased and then increased. P(BS-co-HS52) and P(BS-co-HS71) had the lowest Xc and the lowest Tm, thus had the highest hydrolysis rate; this shows that the hydrolysis rate is affected by Xc and Tm. The results also showed that BS/HS ratio could affect the physical properties and degradability of polyesters. Thus, it is possible to prepare polyesters with various physical properties and degradability for different applications by adjusting BS/HS ratio. The crystalline and amorphous regions of the polyesters were both hydrolyzed, during which parts of the crystalline regions were converted into the amorphous regions. Finally, we found that the crystal structure and thermal stability of the polyesters were not affected by the enzymatic hydrolysis.

description: We present the exact next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to dijet production at the LHC via quark contact interactions, with different color and chiral structures induced from new physics. Following the recent analysis of quark compositeness search at the LHC, we find that the NLO QCD corrections can lower the dijet cross sections by several tens percent, depending on the theory parameters and the selected kinematic regions, and reduce the dependence of the cross sections on factorization and renormalization scales. We also calculate the renormalization group (RG) improved NLO cross sections by summing over the large logarithms from the RG running of Wilson coefficients. Moreover, we investigate the NLO QCD effects on various experimental observables and exclusion limits of quark compositeness scale.

description: Purpose: Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant neoplasms with a wide range of histological types and occur in almost any anatomic site and side. This study evaluated the prognostic factors in sarcoma patients based on German clinical cancer registry data. Methods: The German clinical cancer register of Saxony-Anhalt was used for all data analyses. Sarcoma cases of all clinical or pathological T-stages (T1a–T4c), all N-stages (N0-3) and M-stages (0–1b) corresponding to the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) stages I to IVB were considered. In our analyses, 787 cases diagnosed between 2005 and 2022 were included. Further, we assessed the association of cancer-related parameters with mortality and hazard ratios (HR) from the Cox proportional hazard models. We included sex, age at diagnosis, histological grade, T-, N- and M-stages, tumor size, tumor localization and tumor side as parameters in our regression models. Results: The majority of sarcoma patients were diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma (12%), liposarcoma (11%), angiosarcoma (5.3%) and myxofibrosarcoma (2.7%). In our univariate regression models, tumors localized in more than one location, head, face and neck region as well as the pelvis and lower extremity were associated with increased mortality risk (more than one location: HR 7.10, 95% CI 2.20–22.9; head, face and neck: HR 1.35, 95% CI 0.89–2.06; pelvis: HR 1.27, 95% CI 0.86–1.89; lower extremity: HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.05–1.96). Higher histological grades, UICC-grades and TNM-stages were related to a higher mortality risk. Differing histological subtypes had significant influence on overall survival and progression-free survival. Patients diagnosed with fibromyxoid sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and angiosarcoma were related to higher mortality risk compared to other histological subtypes (fibromyxoid sarcoma: HR 5.2, 95% CI 0.71–38.1; rhabdomyosarcoma: HR 2.93, 95% CI 1.44–6.00; angiosarcoma: HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.53–2.18). Conclusions: Histological grade, tumor size, nodal and distant metastasis, tumor localization and histological subtype were determined as prognostic factors in terms of survival.

description: We numerically determine subleading scaling terms in the ground-state entanglement entropy of several two-dimensional (2D) gapless systems, including a Heisenberg model with Néel order, a free Dirac fermion in the π-flux phase, and the nearest-neighbor resonating-valence-bond wavefunction. For these models, we show that the entanglement entropy between cylindrical regions of length x and L - x, extending around a torus of length L, depends upon the dimensionless ratio x/L. This can be well-approximated on finite-size lattices by a function ln(sin(πx/L)), akin to the familiar chord-length dependence in one dimension. We provide evidence, however, that the precise form of this bulk-dependent contribution is a more general function in the 2D thermodynamic limit.

description: Cyanobacteria are infamous producers of toxins. While the toxic potential of planktonic cyanobacterial blooms is well documented, the ecosystem level effects of toxigenic benthic and epiphytic cyanobacteria are an understudied threat. The freshwater epiphytic cyanobacterium Aetokthonos hydrillicola has recently been shown to produce the “eagle killer” neurotoxin aetokthonotoxin (AETX) causing the fatal neurological disease vacuolar myelinopathy. The disease affects a wide array of wildlife in the southeastern United States, most notably waterfowl and birds of prey, including the bald eagle. In an assay for cytotoxicity, we found the crude extract of the cyanobacterium to be much more potent than pure AETX, prompting further investigation. Here, we describe the isolation and structure elucidation of the aetokthonostatins (AESTs), linear peptides belonging to the dolastatin compound family, featuring a unique modification of the C-terminal phenylalanine-derived moiety. Using immunofluorescence microscopy and molecular modeling, we confirmed that AEST potently impacts microtubule dynamics and can bind to tubulin in a similar matter as dolastatin 10. We also show that AEST inhibits reproduction of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioinformatic analysis revealed the AEST biosynthetic gene cluster encoding a nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase accompanied by a unique tailoring machinery. The biosynthetic activity of a specific N-terminal methyltransferase was confirmed by in vitro biochemical studies, establishing a mechanistic link between the gene cluster and its product.

description: The OECD recommends its member countries implement national strategies for financial education. Many other countries, such as China and India, also have such strategies, whereas Germany does not. The strongest reason for rejecting such a strategy is the supposition that financial education interventions are ineffective. Using all available randomized experimental studies, this study investigates and unequivocally rejects this hypothesis. On average, financial education interventions are significantly effective and the extent is similar to comparable (educational) interventions. While it is possible that individual interventions may fail, these failures are exceptions. Overall, financial education works: It works also even if is short-lived, if its effectiveness is not verified for over a year, if circumstances are difficult, and if teaching approaches are conventional. The argument that financial education is ineffective is thus invalidated and, against this background, German policymakers can move forward in implementing the OECD recommendations.

description: The German economy is taking longer than expected to overcome the pandemic: It is likely to increase by only 2.1 percent in 2021 and capacities remain markedly underutilized. In addition, global supply bottlenecks are affecting German industry, resulting in stalled domestic production despite high demand. Following a profitable summer due to low case numbers and progress in the vaccination campaign, the personal services sector is weakening again as infection rates rise once more. If the supply bottlenecks are solved in 2022, industry should take off and the German economy should record powerful growth of 4.9 percent. Although inflation remains moderate in the underlying trend, higher oil prices and the return to the normal value-added tax are driving the rate up to 3.0 percent in 2021. These effects will no longer apply in 2022. Nevertheless, inflation remains somewhat elevated at around 2.0 percent, as rising production costs due to a shortage of intermediary goods are partly passed on.

description: Recently, the coronavirus pandemic has caused economic developments in major economies to drift apart: While infection rates were declining and production was experiencing strong growth in places such as Europe and the United States in the second quarter of 2021, emerging economies were experiencing strict economic restrictions due to high case numbers. In some of these countries, the economy declined. Globally, the spread of the coronavirus slowed considerably in late summer 2021 and accordingly, the global economy will return to its recovery course beginning in the third quarter of 2021. Although higher case numbers are expected in winter 2021/22, they will probably have far less of an impact on the economy than before due to increased vaccination rates and selectively implemented containment measures. Positive momentum, particularly in the services sector, will be provided mainly by continued strong growth in private consumption, which is likely to remain a key growth driver in the coming years. Currently, raw material and input shortages are hindering growth in the manufacturing industry. However, disruptions to international supply chains and restrictions at key primary product manufacturing sites are expected to dissipate in the first half of 2022. This will probably lead to some catch-up effects in the manufacturing sector, which is likely to provide the global economy with additional momentum. Thus, DIW Berlin is maintaining its growth forecast of 6.7 percent for the global economy. In 2022, global economic output is expected to grow by 5.2 percent. In the second quarter of 2021, the estimate was 0.3 percentage points lower. Global economic output is expected to grow by 4.2 percent in 2023.

description: The mandate of the European Central Bank’s monetary policy is to ensure price stability. Interest rate changes by the ECB affect labor costs and the value added of firms. If both dimensions are not equally affected, monetary policy has a distributive effect between workers and shareholders. Balance sheet data from over two million companies in the euro area show that the labor costs in labor-intensive companies decrease more strongly than in other firms in response to interest rate increases. Heterogeneity of the companies can lead to asymmetries in the transmission of monetary policy in the euro area countries. Therefore, new monetary policy instruments targeting firms should be discussed. European labor markets with uniform labor law and European labor market institutions, along with the long-discussed banking and capital markets union, could help monetary policy affect the whole euro area more evenly.

description: The article presents an ethnographic analysis of the planning and implementation of open-field photovoltaic (PV) plants on agricultural land in East Germany. Employing qualitative methods, the study delves into the multifaceted dynamics surrounding the expansion of Germany’s renewable energy sector, particularly in the considered 'energy state' of Brandenburg. Despite Germany’s commitment to renewable energy, the absence of a comprehensive legal framework governing conflicts over land use for solar energy installations poses significant challenges. Large-scale solar parks, designed for mass energy generation, often necessitate significant land acquisition, which sparks conflicts, particularly when the potential land serves agricultural purposes. The study underscores the shifting perception of land from socioecological wealth to a mere economic resource. The urgency of addressing ecological tipping points through energy transitions contrasts with the current scenario of unchecked investor and developer land acquisitions in pursuit of economic gains. This phenomenon, characterised as ‘invisible land-grabbing,’ has engendered a lack of trust in large-scale PV projects and potentially hampers solar PV approval processes. In conclusion, the article highlights the intricate interplay between energy transitions, land management, and socioecological well-being. It calls for a holistic approach to address the ethical, ecological, and economic implications of renewable energy expansion and land use.

description: We investigate the spontaneous pair production, including the Schwinger mechanism and the Hawking thermal radiation, of charged scalar particles from the near horizon region of a (near) extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole. The paradigm is equivalent to the dynamics of the charged scalar field in a specific AdS$_2 \times S^2$ spacetime with a constant electric field. Two possible boundary conditions are adopted to explicitly compute the corresponding production rate and absorption cross section. It is shown that the Schwinger production rate can be eventually suppressed by the increasing attractive gravitational force as the geometry changes from the extremal to the near extremal black hole. Consequently, the Schwinger mechanism and the Hawking radiation are generically indistinguishable for the near extremal black holes. The holographic description dual to the pair production is also briefly discussed.

description: Given a wireless network where some pairs of communication links interfere with each other, we study sufficient conditions for determining whether a given set of minimum bandwidth quality-of-service (QoS) requirements can be satisfied. We are especially interested in algorithms which have low communication overhead and low processing complexity. The interference in the network is modeled using a conflict graph whose vertices correspond to the communication links in the network. Two links are adjacent in this graph if and only if they interfere with each other due to being in the same vicinity and hence cannot be simultaneously active. The problem of scheduling the transmission of the various links is then essentially a fractional, weighted vertex coloring problem, for which upper bounds on the fractional chromatic number are sought using only localized information. We recall some distributed algorithms for this problem, and then assess their worst-case performance. Our results on this fundamental problem imply that for some well known classes of networks and interference models, the performance of these distributed algorithms is within a bounded factor away from that of an optimal, centralized algorithm. The performance bounds are simple expressions in terms of graph invariants. It is seen that the induced star number of a network plays an important role in the design and performance of such networks.

Nowhere places and the poetics of landscape : temporality, literary atmosphere, and the ethical arena in colonial modernity.
Creators: name: Deggan, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This study introduces a multi-disciplinary ecocritical approach to fictional evocations of place in colonial modernity between 1890 and 1940. Drawing together both modernist and contemporary theories of cognition, spatio-temporality, cinema, and the literary and human geographical assimilation of unfamiliar places, it analyzes the literary and visual poetics by which modernist depictions of landscape produce analogues for the crisis of the individual in the face of the other. Quarrelling with the sometimes recursive formulations of the spatial turn in culture studies, it reconceives the spatio-temporal arena through which literary representations of consciousness are staged through setting depictions. In order to track the dislocating of the subject in “exotic” environments an analytic frame is introduced, aesthetic duration, describing the narrative poetics by which epiphanic human experiences come to be mounted through tropes of aporia or ‘blockage’ – the temporal process by which the ambient aspects of concrete topographies are transformed into ideational or affective atmospheres. While the initial chapters introduce a model of theatricalized temporal ambience in fiction through Joseph Conrad’s An Outcast of the Islands, the study goes on to include close readings of Conrad’s Lord Jim as well as exoticist works by the problematic ‘modernists’, Lawrence, Forster, and Woolf. More fully, the scenographic dynamics of topographical depiction in these fictions of the imperial periphery are used to reveal how texts utilize durational forms and their primary vehicle, atmospheric appearing, in order to evoke interiority. Additionally, the present-time experience of cognitive crisis, where grounded in representations of landscape, is shown to constitute a performative forum for consciousness and narration. To this end the spatio-temporal frames of William James, Henri Bergson and Walter Benjamin are explored for their insights into the dynamics whereby the moment of signification is held open in order to enable thematic, affective, and cognitive transfers. The study thus begins by theorizing the ecologically nuanced strategies by which colonial places offer themselves as stand-ins for the decentred subjects of European modernism, and concludes by establishing a theatricalized model for the synaesthetic processes by which the places in colonial modernist fiction communicate significance via their performative poetics.

description: Childcare workers are essential for both families and society at large, and their working conditions and pay are often a topic of discussion. Using new data spanning until the end of 2019 from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) as well as a special SOEP additional survey in day care centers, this report shows how childcare workers view their occupation, day-to-day work, and pay. According to the data, childcare workers are less satisfied than elementary school teachers in almost every single area. In regard to their health, childcare workers have about the same satisfaction level as nurses. Well over half are moderately to heavily stressed as a result of time pressure at work and 81 percent experience stress due to what they perceive as inadequate pay. If presented with the option to change their weekly hours worked, most childcare workers would choose to reduce them. To improve the quality of the working environment and allow childcare workers to spend more contact time with children, an increase in the number of staff in day care centers is necessary. Such an increase would benefit childcare workers, children, families, and society at large. However, to achieve this, all governance actors—the Federal Government, states, municipalities, as well as day care employers—need to commit in a bolder and more coordinated way.

description: La diabetes es una enfermedad metabólica que se clasifica en diabetes 1, diabetes 2 y diabetes gestacional; en la cual existe un desequilibrio en el control de la glucosa en sangre, elemento que funge como principal fuente de energía para el organismo y que proviene de los alimentos. Sin embargo, sin una correcta acción de la hormona insulina es imposible que esta glucosa pueda ser utilizada por parte de las células. (Latham, M. 2002). Esta enfermedad puede tener un mejor pronóstico si se lleva un control adecuado, sobre todo en el consumo de la carga de glucosa alimentaria, para lo cual existe un sistema de conteo de carbohidratos que ayudarán a tener un mejor monitoreo y tratamiento. Dentro de esto destacan términos como índice y carga glucémica que, al ser manejado adecuadamente por los pacientes con diabetes, coadyuvan en el manejo óptimo de la enfermedad y así contribuyen a una mejora en la calidad de vida.

Invariant measures for Cherry flows
Creators: name: Saghin, Radu

description: We investigate the invariant probability measures for Cherry flows, i.e. flows on the two-torus which have a saddle, a source, and no other fixed points, closed orbits or homoclinic orbits. In the case when the saddle is dissipative or conservative we show that the only invariant probability measures are the Dirac measures at the two fixed points, and the Dirac measure at the saddle is the physical measure. In the other case we prove that there exists also an invariant probability measure supported on the quasi-minimal set, we discuss some situations when this other invariant measure is the physical measure, and conjecture that this is always the case. The main techniques used are the study of the integrability of the return time with respect to the invariant measure of the return map to a closed transversal to the flow, and the study of the close returns near the saddle.

Spectrum of the excited $N^*$ and $Δ^*$ baryons in a relativistic chiral quark model

description: The spectrum of the SU(2) flavor baryons is studied in the frame of a relativistic chiral quark potential model based on the one-pion and one-gluon exchange mechanisms. It is argued that the N* and Delta* resonances strongly coupled to the pi-N channel are identified with the orbital configurations $(1S_{1/2})^2(nlj)$ with a single valence quark in the excited state (nlj). With the obtained selection rules based on the "chiral constraint", we show that it is possible to construct a schematic periodic table of baryon resonances, consistent with the experimental data and yielding no "missing resonances". A new original method for the treatment of the center of mass problem is suggested, which is based on the separation of the three-quark Dirac Hamiltonian into the parts, corresponding to the Jacobi coordinates. The numerical estimations for the energy positions of the Nucleon and Delta baryons (up to and including F-wave resonances), obtained within the field-theoretical framework by using time ordered perturbation theory, yield an overall good description of the experimental data at the level of the relativized CQM of S. Capstick and W. Roberts without any fitting parameters. The Delta(1232) is well reproduced. However, N g. s. and most of the radially excited baryon resonances (including Roper) are overestimated. Contrary, the first band of the orbitally excited baryon resonances with a negative parity are underestimated. At the same time, the second band of the orbitally excited Delta* states with the negative parity are mostly overestimated, while the N* states are close to the experimental boxes. The positive parity baryon resonances with J=5/2, 7/2 are close to the experimental data. At higher energies, where the experimental data are poor, we can extend our model schematically and predict an existence of seven N* and four Delta* new states with larger spin values.

description: In the last decades, many European hospital markets witnessed a wave of mergers leading to increased levels of market concentration. The effects of hospital mergers and the effectiveness of competition enforcement have been discussed by politicians but understudied by academics. This report studies how hospital mergers impact hospital service provision by focusing on the French hospital industry from 2009 to 2017. The report finds that local mergers may result in a change in the health care services offered. For example, merging hospitals reduce the offer of duplicate services. The results suggest that competition authorities may want to encompass these strategic reactions in their analysis when deciding ex ante whether or not to approve mergers. These insights are also particularly relevant for the German hospital industry, which operates in a similar regulatory context to the French case.

description: To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, it is necessary for industrialized countries to support developing countries financially. The channels and mechanisms under which this support would be provided are known as International Climate Finance. Building upon expert interviews with a focus on the industrial sector, this report analyses the different areas of International Climate Finance and suggests ways for increasing its efficiency. International Climate Finance currently strongly builds on traditions of development cooperation and aims at creating incentives and providing support for greenhouse gas mitigation efforts in recipient countries. This report suggests modifying International Climate Finance on the basis of Elinor Ostrom’s principles of global cooperation. One of these principles is reciprocity of mitigation efforts: donor countries combine their financial support of recipient countries with domestic climate policy goals. Knowledge exchange and technical cooperation could strengthen mutual trust and increase social consciousness in donor and recipient countries. Were International Climate Finance instruments to be redesigned according to these principles, they could legitimize stronger national steps to CO2 mitigation and support an international dynamic that could accelerate the transition to climate neutrality.
