description: Background. Recent studies report that acute stroke patients who present to the hospital on weekends have higher rates of 28-day mortality than similar patients who arrive during the week. However, how this association is related to clinical presentation and stroke type has not been systematically investigated. Methods and Results. We examined the association between day of arrival and 28-day mortality in 929 validated stroke events in the ARIC cohort from 1987-2004. Weekend arrival was defined as any arrival time from midnight Friday until midnight Sunday. Mortality was defined as all-cause fatal events from the day of arrival through the 28th day of followup. The presence or absence of thirteen stroke signs and symptoms were obtained through medical record review for each event. Binomial logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios and 95 confidence intervals (OR; 95 CI) for the association between weekend arrival and 28-day mortality for all stroke events and for stroke subtypes. The overall risk of 28-day mortality was 9.6 for weekday strokes and 10.1 for weekend strokes. In models controlling for patient demographics, clinical risk factors, and event year, weekend arrival was not associated with 28-day mortality (0.87; 0.51, 1.50). When stratified by stroke type, weekend arrival was not associated with increased odds of mortality for ischemic (1.17, 0.62, 2.23) or hemorrhagic (0.37; 0.11, 1.26) stroke patients. Conclusions. Presence or absence of thirteen signs and symptoms was similar for weekday patients and weekend patients when stratified by stroke type. Weekend arrival was not associated with 28-day all-cause mortality or differences in symptom presentation for strokes in this cohort.

description: We determined prospectively the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in relation to baseline high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) in 19 049 participants of the Longitudinal Investigation of Thromboembolism Etiology (LITE), which was composed of 14 490 participants of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study and 4559 participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS). In addition, we determined the risk of VTE in relation to baseline subtractions of HDL (HDL2 and HDL3) and apolipoprotein A-l (apoA-l) in 14 488 participants of the ARIC study. Age-adjusted incidence rates of VTE by HDL-c quartile ranged from 1.64 to 1.91 per 1000 person-years in men and 1.40 to 1.94 per 1000 person-years in women; however, there was no apparent trend of VTE incidence across HDL-c quartiles for either sex. The multivariate adjusted hazard ratios of VTE by HDL-c quartiles (with quartile 4 as the reference) were nonsignificant for both sexes and ranged between 0.91 and 0.99 for men and 0.78 and 1.22 for women. Results did not differ in separate evaluations of idiopathic and secondary VTE. In the ARIC study, there was no trend of VTE hazard ratios across quartiles of HDL2, HDL3, or apoA-l. Low HDL-c does not appear to be an important VTE riskfactor.

description: The aim of the research work was to investigate the level of knowledge of the nursing staff of the Intensive Care Units in reading, interpreting and evaluating the electrocardiogram. In the first part, the evolution of the cardiogram over the years was presented and i referred in detail and separately to different types of cardiograms as well as the characteristics that make them dangerous or not. In addition, in the second part of the research, i presented the statistical results that resulted from the collection of data from the employees of the Units and only strictly. The results appeared highly positive and significant among all demographic characteristics examined with both knowledge and opinions about electrocardiogram interpretation. In conclusion, the majority of participating ICU nurses demonstrated a high level of knowledge regarding the evaluation and interpretation of the ECG as they consider its reading to be of outstanding importance and extremely difficult. Finally, the study noted the need for further training as it seems to significantly affect the level of nurses.

description: Background: Individuals with chronic kidney disease have a high mortality rate after acute myocardial infarction. It is not known how frequently these individuals are prescribed combination cardioprotective therapy and if survival is affected by such therapy after acute myocardial infarction. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 1,342 Medicare recipients with acute myocardial infarction. Data were collected by medical chart abstraction as part of the Cooperative Cardiovascular Project in 60 hospitals in North Carolina during 5/30/1996-12/28/1997. We categorized cardioprotective medication use as aspirin alone, aspirin with beta-blockers, and aspirin with beta-blockers and ace-inhibitors. Chronic kidney disease was defined as a derived glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ranging from 15-89 mL/min/1.73 m2. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to determine the effect of cardioprotective medication use on survival while controlling for potential explanatory variables. Results: The prevalence of cardioprotective medication use differed among levels of chronic kidney disease. Those with severe kidney disease (GFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2) were less frequently prescribed aspirin with beta-blockers, 27.1%, and only 8.6% were prescribed aspirin with beta-blockers and ace-inhibitors. Survival was improved with prescribed cardioprotective medication use. In severe kidney disease (GFR 15-29 mL/min/1.73 m2), the hazards risk for death was 0.21 (0.08, 0.53) for aspirin alone, 0.17 (0.06, 0.51) for aspirin with beta-blockers, and 0.35 (0.09, 1.42) for aspirin with beta-blockers and ace-inhibitors. Conclusions: Individuals with chronic kidney disease benefit from combination cardioprotective therapy, but are less likely to be prescribed them after acute myocardial infarction. Further investigation is warranted to identify possible reasons for these observed treatment disparities.

description: Plasma D-dimer concentration rises more than 100-fold during acute deep vein thrombosis, but there are no prospective data concerning D-dimer as a risk factor for incident venous thrombosis in a general population. Incident venous thrombosis was ascertained in 2 prospective observational studies, the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study and the Cardiovascular Health Study. Of 21 690 participants enrolled between 1987 and 1993, after 8 years of follow-up, D-dimer was measured using baseline stored plasma of 307 participants who developed venous thrombosis and 616 who did not. Relative to the first quintile of the distribution of D-dimer, the age-adjusted odds ratios for future venous thrombosis for the second to fifth quintiles of D-dimer were 1.6, 2.3, 2.3, and 4.2, respectively (P for trend < .0001). Following added adjustment for sex, race, body mass index, factor V Leiden, prothrombin 20210A, and elevated factor VIII coagulant activity (factor VIII:c), these odds ratios were 1.5, 2.1, 1.9, and 3.0, respectively (P for trend < .0001). Among those with idiopathic thrombosis or secondary thrombosis unrelated to cancer, the adjusted fifth quintile odds ratios were 3.5 and 4.8, respectively. By contrast, D-dimer in the fifth versus first quintile was not related to occurrence of cancer-associated thrombosis (odds ratio, 1.1). Odds ratios for elevated D-dimer were consistently elevated in subgroups defined by age, sex, race, duration of follow-up, and thrombosis type (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolus). D-dimer is strongly and positively related to the occurrence of future venous thrombosis.

description: The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in relation to factor V-related risk factors. Using a nested case-control design combining 2 population-based prospective studies, we measured factor V Leiden, HR2 haplotype, activated protein C (APC) resistance, and plasma factor V antigen in 335 participants who developed VTE during 8 years of follow-up and 688 controls. The overall odds ratio (OR) of VTE was 3.67 (95% Cl, 2.20-6.12) in participants carrying factor V Leiden compared with noncarriers. APC resistance measured after predilution with factor V-deficient plasma conferred an OR of 2.58 (95% Cl, 1.62-4.10). All 3 participants homozygous for the HR2 haplotype had a VTE, and the OR of VTE for homozygosity was estimated to be 5.5 (95% Cl, 2.45-12.5). Carriers of the HR2 haplotype otherwise were not at increased risk of VTE overall (OR = 1.05; 95% Cl, 0.64-1.72), but double heterozygotes for HR2 and factor V Leiden carried an OR of idiopathic VTE of 16.3 (95% Cl, 1.7-159) compared with noncarriers. Factor V antigen also was not associated with VTE overall, but for participants with the combination of high factor V antigen plus factor V Leiden the OR of idiopathic VTE was 11.5 (95% Cl, 4.2-31.4). In the general population, APC resistance and factor V Leiden were important VTE risk factors; homozygosity for the HR2 haplotype may be a risk factor but was rare; otherwise, HR2 haplotype and factor V antigen were not risk factors except in carriers of factor V Leiden.

description: Through December 1998, sumatriptan had been used to treat more than 236 million migraine attacks world-wide. In clinical trials alone, more than 88 000 migraine patients had treated more than 300 000 migraine attacks with sumatriptan, and 2000 normal healthy volunteers had been exposed to the drug. This paper describes the safety and tolerability profile of sumatriptan in three sections: adverse events reported in clinical trials, special issues, and spontaneous post-marketing reports of adverse reactions. Data from the extensive clinical trials programme coupled with information from nearly 10 years of experience in clinical practice demonstrate that sumatriptan is generally well-tolerated, with an acceptable benefit-risk ratio when used properly. Significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events are rare but have been observed. This fact highlights the need for careful patient selection and vigilant adherence to the prescribing recommendations for sumatriptan. The wealth of clinical trials and post-marketing information for sumatriptan may be useful in guiding prescribing decisions for members of this class of drugs.

description: In Burke County, North Carolina, previously incarcerated individuals have lower economic stability due to unemployment, lower education levels, and low socioeconomic status (Burke County Health Department, 2022). One year after exiting prison, 51% of formerly incarcerated individuals do not have a job and earn below the federal poverty line (NC Commerce, 2023). Evidence shows that well-established reentry processes including continuing education and steady employment reduce recidivism (NIJ, 2023). More educational training for incarcerated individuals results in lower rates of recidivism; less than a high school degree results in a 60% recidivism rate, whereas recidivism drops to 19% for those with any college degree (Bender, 2018). We determined short, medium, and long-term focus goals, and established guidance for potential hurdles in building an incarceration education program. An education program for incarcerated individuals in Burke County will improve long-term health and economic stability by offsetting the social determinants that lead to nonviolent criminal behavior (Parker, 2022).

description: Metamaterials based on regular two-dimensional arrays of thin wires have attracted renewed attention in light of a recently proposed strategy to search for dark matter axions. When placed in the external magnetic field, such metamaterials facilitate resonant conversion of axions into plasmons near their plasma frequency. Since the axion mass is not known a priori, a practical way to tune the plasma frequency of metamaterial is required. In this work, we have studied a system of two interpenetrating rectangular wire lattices where their relative position is varied. The plasma frequency as a function of their relative position in two dimensions has been mapped out experimentally, and compared with both a semi-analytic theory of wire-array metamaterials and numerical simulations. Theory and simulation yield essentially identical results, which in turn are in excellent agreement with experimental data. Over the range of translations studied, the plasma frequency can be tuned over a range of 16%.

description: The impact of forces such as the internet and the rise of e-commerce has led to an increasingly distributed and diverse style of systems development environment. With this change has come the call for methods suited to this type of development. The object technology community has developed a number of techniques which facilitate development in such an environment (e.g. components, design patterns and templates). However comprehensive software process support is still lacking, particularly in the area of requirements elicitation and specification. This paper describes an implementation of the OPEN methodology which incorporates formal specification into the requirements engineering process through integration of the requirements engineering method FOOM, and how such an approach benefits the types of systems development projects described above.

description: This proposal discusses the social determinants of health associated with lack of education
access and quality and their impact on Opportunity Youth in Burke County, North Carolina. It
highlights the public health concerns associated with lower post-secondary education attendance
rates, higher prevalence of Opportunity Youth, and the need to improve education access and
quality to combat poverty, eliminate disparities, and foster economic growth, health, and well-
being. The proposal aims to increase post-secondary enrollment among 16-24-year-olds, reduce
stigma around government programs, and enhance retention rates at educational institutions. A
systems thinking analysis revealed three leverage points to achieve the vision and goals and the
importance of involving diverse community partners to provide consultation, collaboration, and
feedback to ensure long-term success. The proposed co-design approach utilizes the firsthand
knowledge of community partners to create a practical, realistic, and effective implementation
plan tailored to the specific needs of Opportunity Youth in Burke County.

description: In this paper, we study the connection between the tribimaximal and bitrimaximal mixing patterns. In doing so, we are forced to work in a non-diagonal charged lepton basis. This leads to several relations that must hold between the lepton mixing angles. After a short discussion, we analyze the underlying flavor symmetry responsible for this prediction. Finally, we add CP violation to bitrimaximal mixing and study its effect on the flavor symmetry group.

description: Increasing the health literacy of the population is an objective within the domain of social and community contexts. Addressing substance use disorder is a priority in Burke County, and the national drug overdose crisis disproportionately impacts populations with low health literacy. Burke County Public middle and high school students aged 12-18 years demonstrate low health literacy related to illicit drugs and many use them. The consultant team recommends the Burke County Board of Commissioners adopt policies and allocate funds to engage a coalition of community stakeholders to implement the Project STAR prevention program to increase health literacy related to illicit drug use among Burke County Public middle and high school students. The purpose of implementing this evidence-based program will be to improve health and well-being in Burke County.

description: Symptom monitoring with electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) detects problems early, enabling care teams to intervene and prevent downstream complications and thereby improve outcomes. Tenets were developed from prior experiences and research to assist practices with implementing ePRO programs. These tenets include using a quality improvement approach to change management with attention to software functionality, measured outcomes, personnel deployment, leadership and culture, workflow, equity and patient engagement. Practices can optimize program participation and effectiveness by using these tenets and implementing continuous program monitoring to identify and address barriers.

Properties Of Dark Matter Halos Of Main-Sequence Star-Forming Galaxies At Z~1.6
Creators: name: Kashino, Daichi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: We investigate the properties of dark matter halos that contain "main-sequence" star-forming galaxies at 1.43<z<1.74 using the FMOS-COSMOS survey. The projected correlation function is measured for 516 galaxies down to stellar mass of 109.57 M⦿ and SFR~15 M⦿ yr-1, for which the Hα emission line is detected. We find that these galaxies live in halos of Mh=5×1012 M⦿ on average, which will likely become present-day halos equivalent to the typical mass scale of galaxy groups. We then constrain the stellar-to-halo mass ratio at Mh<1012 M⦿, finding a systematically lower mass ratio than those measured at higher masses.

Increasing Economic Stability for Incarcerated Working-Aged People in Burke County, North Carolina

description: In Burke County, North Carolina, previously incarcerated individuals have lower economic stability due to unemployment, lower education levels, and low socioeconomic status (Burke County Health Department, 2022). One year after exiting prison, 51% of formerly incarcerated individuals do not have a job and earn below the federal poverty line (NC Commerce, 2023). Evidence shows that well-established reentry processes including continuing education and steady employment reduce recidivism (NIJ, 2023). More educational training for incarcerated individuals results in lower rates of recidivism; less than a high school degree results in a 60% recidivism rate, whereas recidivism drops to 19% for those with any college degree (Bender, 2018). We determined short, medium, and long-term focus goals, and established guidance for potential hurdles in building an incarceration education program. An education program for incarcerated individuals in Burke County will improve long-term health and economic stability by offsetting the social determinants that lead to nonviolent criminal behavior (Parker, 2022).
Exact solutions of the simplified March model for organizational learning

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: James G. March's celebrated agent-based simulation model for organizational learning [March, Organization Science \textbf{2}, 71 (1991)] has been extensively studied for the last decades. Yet the model was not fully understood due to the lack of analytical solutions of the model. We simplify the March model to take an analytical approach using master equations. We then derive exact solutions for some simplest yet nontrivial cases, and perform numerical estimation of master equations for more complicated cases. Both analytical and numerical results are in good agreement with agent-based simulations. These results are also compared to those of the original March model. Our approach enables us to rigorously understand the results of the simplified model as well as the original model to a large extent.

Exceptional-point Sensors Offer No Fundamental Signal-to-Noise Ratio Enhancement

description: Exceptional-point (EP) sensors are characterized by a square-root resonant frequency bifurcation in response to an external perturbation. This has lead numerous suggestions for using these systems for sensing applications. However, there is an open debate as to whether or not this sensitivity advantage is negated by additional noise in the system. We show that an EP sensor's imprecision in measuring a generalized force is independent of its operating point's proximity to the EP. That is because frequency noises of fundamental origin in the sensor -- due to quantum and thermal fluctuations -- increase in a manner that exactly cancels the benefit of increased resonant frequency sensitivity near the EP. So the benefit of EP sensors is limited to the regime where sensing is limited by technical noises. Finally, we outline an EP sensor with phase-sensitive gain that does have an advantage even if limited by fundamental noises.

Non-Bloch Theory for Spatiotemporal Photonic Crystals Assisted by Continuum Effective Medium

description: As one indispensable type of nonreciprocal mechanism, a system with temporal modulations is intrinsically open in the physical sense and inevitably non-Hermitian, but the space and time degrees of freedom are nonseparable in a large variety of circumstances, which restrains the non-Bloch band theory to apply. Here, we investigate the spatially photonic crystals (PhCs) composed of spatiotemporal modulation materials (STMs) and homogeneous media, dubbed as the STM-PhC, wherein the spatial and temporal modulations are deliberately designed to be correlated. To bypass the difficulty of the spatiotemporal correlation, we first employ the effective medium theory to account for the dispersion of fundamental bands under the influence of Floquet sidebands. Based on the dynamical degeneracy splitting viewpoint and continuum generalized Brillouin zone condition, we then analytically give the criteria for the existence of the non-Hermitian skin effect in the STM. Assisted by developing a numerical method that embeds the plane wave expansion in the transfer matrix, we establish the non-Bloch band theory for the low-frequency Floquet bands in the STM-PhCs, in which the central is the identification of the generalized Brillouin zone. We finally delve into the topological properties, including non-Bloch Zak phases and delocalization of topologically edge states. Our work validates that effective medium assists the non-Bloch band theory applied to the STM-PhCs, which delivers a prescription to broaden the horizons of non-Bloch theory.
