description: Tidak mudah untuk menjadi sebuah entitas politik dan sosial budaya yang secara utuh dan penuh menjadikan demokrasi sebagai sebuah pola baku. Hal inilah yang dihadapi oleh Indonesia saat ini, bahkan ketika reformasi sudah EHUJXOLUVHODPDGXDGDVDZDUVDODPDQ\D 'HÀQLVLGDQUHVXOWDQVLGHPRNUDVL hingga kini masih menjadi sebuah objek kontestasi pemikiran di kalangan para penyelenggara negara, akademisi, masyarakat madani, maupun pihakpihak luar yang peduli pada deliberasi demokrasi di seluruh dunia. Pada awalnya, reformasi diharapkan oleh banyak pihak menjadi pendulum untuk menggerakkan demokrasi Indonesia ke titik yang lebih baik, yakni medium untuk mewujudkan stabilitas dalam semua gatra kehidupan bernegara. Namun demikian, pada fase dinamika reformasi, menguat pesimisme dan frustrasi publik. Reformasi yang berjalan memunculkan ‘pembludakan’ kebebasan bahwa demokrasi massa ditandai oleh mencuatnya kebebasan natural (natural freedom), alih-alih kebebasan sipil (civil liberties), paradigma yang masih bermuatan middle-class oriented dan belum terakomodasinya aspirasi arus bawah, demokrasi yang masih terperangkap sekedar elektoral-prosedural, serta belum kukuhnya nilai-nilai kebangsaan dan ke-Indonesia-an di segenap elemen masyarakat. Di sisi lain, optimisme bahwa demokrasi produk reformasi akan menghasilkan kebijakan publik yang baik masih tetap digaung-gaungkan oleh sebagian kalangan, meskipun secara kuantitas sangat sedikit. Kalangan ini berpandangan bahwa politik, termasuk politik demokratik, merupakan sebuah wilayah yang paling cepat berubah. Bahkan karena kecepatan perubahannya, ilmu sosial dan politik selalu ketinggalan dalam mengikutinya. Kalangan ini juga menolak adanya jurang yang lebar antara aspek preskriptif dan deskriptif yang menjadi landasan berpikir pihak-pihak yang pesimis dengan masa depan reformasi. Tulisan ini ditujukan untuk mencari benang merah terhadap kontestasi pemikiran antara kedua pihak yang berseberangan dengan memilih pijakan awal pada alur berpikir mereka terlebih dahulu untuk kemudian ditarik sintesa pemikirannya. Tulisan ini akan berupaya mengembalikan spirit reformasi dengan mengacu pada empat konsensus bangsa demi mewujudkan daulat rakyat dalam rangka mencapai tujuan nasional.

description: The generic behavior of purely dissipative open quantum many-body systems with local dissipation processes can be investigated using random matrix theory, revealing a hierarchy of decay timescales of observables organized by their complexity as shown in [Wang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 100604 (2020)]. This hierarchy is reflected in distinct eigenvalue clusters of the Lindbladian. Here, we analyze how this spectrum evolves when unitary dynamics is present, both for the case of strongly and weakly dissipative dynamics. In the strongly dissipative case, the unitary dynamics can be treated perturbatively and it turns out that the locality of the Hamiltonian determines how susceptible the spectrum is to such a perturbation. For the physically most relevant case of (dissipative) two-body interactions, we find that the correction in the first order of the perturbation vanishes, leading to the relative robustness of the spectral features. For weak dissipation, the spectrum flows into clusters with well-separated eigenmodes, which we identify to be the local symmetries of the Hamiltonian.

title: A Study of Type 2 Mediated Immune Responses
Creators: name: Vignali, Debora
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: Within tumors, immune responses strongly influence tumor development and stroma architecture, determining cancer progression. Tumor immune responses may be polarized towards a type 1-like “pro-inflammatory” or a type 2-like “alternative” phenotype, the latter mediated by type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-9 and IL-13). Type 2 responses are generally thought to be associated with enhanced cancer growth. Whilst the effects of single type 2 cytokines in tumor progression have been extensively studied, the overall role of type 2 responses is far from thoroughly understood. In our study we utilised a unique quadruple IL-4/5/9/13 deficient mouse (T2KO), which features complete genetic depletion of type 2 responses. We assessed how the complete lack of type 2 cytokines affects both tumorigenesis and tumor progression. We showed that the complete lack of type 2 responses reduced tumor growth in a mouse model of transplantable breast carcinoma, correlating with improved T cell tumor infiltration and type 1 polarization. We further demonstrated that T cell depletion abolished the protective effects. Thus we formally demonstrated that type 2 responses promote tumor growth. Surprisingly, in carcinogen-driven tumor formation, lack of type 2 responses significantly increased tumor incidence. This was associated with a decreased protective fibrotic encapsulation of the carcinogen, matching pioneering studies on the protective effects of foreign body responses in carcinogenesis. The lack of carcinogen encapsulation in T2KO mice led to enhanced carcinogen spreading, thus suggesting that type 2 responses are protective against carcinogenesis. These findings further suggested a possible protective role against carcinogenesis of enhanced type 2 responses, such as in cases of allergy or asthma. To verify this, we examined two human patient cohorts, in Norway and Italy, and confirmed that, in men, pre-existing type 2 immune responses are significantly associated with reduced incidence of lung cancer. In summary, our findings suggest a protective role of type 2 responses from carcinogenesis, which may become detrimental in cancer progression. Our data also pose novel questions about the influence of immune responses on tumor formation, tumor growth and on tumor-associated fibrosis, occurring at different stages of the disease.

description: One of the practical applications of cooperative transferable utility games involves determining the fee structure for users of a given facility, whose construction or maintenance costs need to be recouped. In this context, certain efficiency and equity criteria guide the considered solutions. This paper analyzes how to allocate the fixed costs of a highway among its users through tolls, considering that different classes of vehicles or travelers utilize the service. For this purpose, we make use of generalized highway games with a priori unions that represent distinct user groups, such as frequent travelers or truckers, who, due to enhanced bargaining power, often secure reductions in their fares in real-world scenarios. In particular, the Owen value, the coalitional Tijs value, and a new value termed the Shapley-Tijs value, are axiomatically characterized. Additionally, straightforward formulations for calculating these values are provided. Finally, the proposed methodology is applied to actual traffic data from the AP-9 highway in Spain.

description: The goal of this study is to explore a novel method for the solar photospheric magnetic field diagnostics using Stokes V widths of different magnetosensitive Fe~I spectral lines. We calculate Stokes I and V profiles of several Fe I lines based on a one-dimensional photospheric model VAL C using the NICOLE radiative transfer code. These profiles are used to produce calibration curves linking the intrinsic magnetic field values with the widths of blue peaks of Stokes V profiles. The obtained calibration curves are then tested using the Stokes profiles calculated for more realistic photospheric models based on MHD models of magneto-convection. It is shown that the developed Stokes V widths (SVW) method can be used with various optical and near-infrared lines. Out of six lines considered in this study, FeI 6301 line appears to be the most effective: it is sensitive to fields over ~200G and does not show any saturation up to ~2kG. Other lines considered can also be used for the photospheric field diagnostics with this method, however, only in narrower field value ranges, typically from about 100G to 700-1000G. The developed method can be a useful alternative to the classical magnetic line ratio method, particularly when the choice of lines is limited.

Accretion dynamics in neutron star black hole binaries

description: We perform three-dimensional, Newtonian hydrodynamic simulations with a nuclear equation of state to investigate the accretion dynamics in neutron star black hole systems. We find as a general result that non-spinning donor stars yield larger circularization radii than corotating donors. Therefore, the matter from a neutron star without spin will more likely settle into an accretion disk outside the Schwarzschild radius. With the used stiff equation of state we find it hard to form an accretion disk that is promising to launch a gamma-ray burst. In all relevant cases the core of the neutron star survives and keeps orbiting the black hole as a mini neutron star for the rest of the simulation time (up to several hundred dynamical neutron star times scales). The existence of this mini neutron star leaves a clear imprint on the gravitational wave signal which thus can be used to probe the physics at supra-nuclear densities.

description: Diplomasi secara praktis dan teoritis merupakan aktivitas politik yang dimainkan oleh suatu negara dalam rangka mencapai kepentingan nasional. Terlepas dari kontestasi pemikiran dalam studi hubungan internasional antara kaum realis dengan liberalis, serta positivis dengan pasca positivis, diplomasi sendiri memainkan peran vital sebagai pengejawantahan politik luar negeri suatu negara. Republik Indonesia, sejak memproklamasikan kemerdekaan pada tahun 1945 hingga saat ini, mengalami pergantian rezim dari masa ke masa. Masingmasing rezim memiliki corak sendiri dalam memainkan diplomasi sebangun dengan tantangan serta lingkungan strategik yang dihadapi. Kerapkali pelaksanaan diplomasi mampu menyokong pencapaian kepentingan nasional, namun tidak mempertimbangkan aspek ketahanan nasional. Tapi tak sedikit yang mampu menyelaraskan keduanya.Tulisan ini dibuat dengan maksud untuk mencapai beberapa objektif, yakni penelaahan ke masa lampau mengenai pola-pola diplomasi yang dimainkan oleh sebuah rezim, membaca pola-pola diplomasi yang dimainkan oleh rezim yang sedang berkuasa, serta ekspektasi diplomasi yang seharusnya dijalankan pada masa yang akan datang dengan penekanan pada keselarasan antara pencapaian kepentingan nasional dengan kukuhnya ketahanan nasional. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dan analitik dengan merujuk pada pendekatan historis dan futuristis.

description: The classical theory of liquid crystal elasticity as formulated by Oseen and Frank describes the (orientable) optic axis of these soft materials by a director $\mathbf{n}$. The ground state is attained when $\mathbf{n}$ is uniform in space; all other states, which have a non-vanishing gradient $\nabla\mathbf{n}$, are distorted. This paper proposes an algebraic (and geometric) way to describe the local distortion of a liquid crystal by constructing from $\mathbf{n}$ and $\nabla\mathbf{n}$ a third-rank, symmetric and traceless tensor $\mathbf{A}$ (the octupolar tensor). The (nonlinear) eigenvectors of $\mathbf{A}$ associated with the local maxima of its cubic form $Φ$ on the unit sphere (its octupolar potential) designate the directions of distortion concentration. The octupolar potential is illustrated geometrically and its symmetries are charted in the space of distortion characteristics, so as to educate the eye to capture the dominating elastic modes. Special distortions are studied, which have everywhere either the same octupolar potential or one with the same shape, but differently inflated.

description: Die motorischen Fertigkeiten und die Bewegungsausführung von Kindern zwischen vier und acht Jahren zeigen eine grosse Variabilität. Schwierigkeiten in diesen Bereichen wirken sich auf alltägliche Tätigkeiten aus und können zu einem Leidensdruck führen, sowie das Wohl des Kindes beeinträchtigen. In der Psychomotoriktherapie werden motorische Fertigkeiten geübt, mit dem Ziel die Bewegungsausführung zu verfeinern und den Leidensdruck beim Kind zu mindern. Um die Bewegungsausführung zu verbessern, werden in der Psychomotoriktherapie häufig Interventionen zur kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung durchgeführt. In der Praxis wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich eine Verbesserung der kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung positiv auf die Bewegungsausführung auswirkt. In dieser Arbeit wird mittels einer systematischen Literaturanalyse nach Studien geforscht, welche den Zusammenhang zwischen der kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung und der Bewegungsausführung untersuchen. Die Erkenntnisse sollen zu einer höheren Evidenz beim Einsatz von psychomotorischen Interventionen führen.Es wurden acht Studien gefunden, welche den Zusammenhang zwischen der kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung und der Bewegungsausführung untersuchen: Drei Studien weisen eine hohe Signifikanz auf, zwei Studien eine geringfügige-, und drei Studien liefern keine aussagekräftigen Ergebnisse zum Zusammenhang zwischen der kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung und der Bewegungsausführung.Aus den Befunden einzelner Studien kann geschlossen werden, dass das Training der kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung einen positiven Einfluss auf die Bewegungsausführung hat. Um diese Aussage zu verallgemeinern, braucht es noch mehr Forschung. Die vorhandenen Studien beleuchten einzelne Teilbereiche der Motorik. Interventionsstudien, welche sich auf ein kinästhetisches Training beziehen wären erforderlich, um die Wirkung der kinästhetischen Wahrnehmung auf die Bewegungsausführung zu beurteilen. Weiter wären Metastudien nötig, um allgemeine Ergebnisse abzuleiten.

description: The two-dimensional momentum density of Be on the basal GMK plane, i.e. the line integral of the three-dimensional momentum density along the c-axis, is reconstructed via the Cormack method from both experimental and theoretical Compton profiles. It is shown that in the case of Be, despite the momentum density is highly anisotropic, merely two Compton profiles are sufficient to reproduce the main features of the momentum density. The analysis of the reconstructed densities is performed both in the extended and reduced zone schemes.

description: Contact tracing, the practice of isolating individuals who have been in contact with infected individuals, is an effective and practical way of containing disease spread. Here, we show that this strategy is particularly effective in the presence of social groups: Once the disease enters a group, contact tracing not only cuts direct infection paths but can also pre-emptively quarantine group members such that it will cut indirect spreading routes. We show these results by using a deliberately stylized model that allows us to isolate the effect of contact tracing within the clique structure of the network where the contagion is spreading. This will enable us to derive mean-field approximations and epidemic thresholds to demonstrate the efficiency of contact tracing in social networks with small groups. This analysis shows that contact tracing in networks with groups is more efficient the larger the groups are. We show how these results can be understood by approximating the combination of disease spreading and contact tracing with a complex contagion process where every failed infection attempt will lead to a lower infection probability in the following attempts. Our results illustrate how contact tracing in real-world settings can be more efficient than predicted by models that treat the system as fully mixed or the network structure as locally tree-like.

The aim of this study is the assessment of the economic position of the local community in the financial system of the Republic of Srpska and, accordingly, opportunities for these communities to support and improve the standard of living of its inhabitants. The analysis conducted in this paper show show significant limitations in this respect. Modification of existing models of funding local communities is essential if we want to strengthen their economic function. That attitude is based the basic hypothesis of this work. The survey is based on a more elementary and secondary methods of social science.
Contextuality for preparations, transformations, and unsharp measurements

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: An operational definition of contextuality is introduced which generalizes the standard notion in three ways: (1) it applies to arbitrary operational theories rather than just quantum theory, (2) it applies to arbitrary experimental procedures, rather than just sharp measurements, and (3) it applies to a broad class of ontological models of quantum theory, rather than just deterministic hidden variable models. We derive three no-go theorems for ontological models, each based on an assumption of noncontextuality for a different sort of experimental procedure; one for preparation procedures, another for unsharp measurement procedures (that is, measurement procedures associated with positive-operator valued measures), and a third for transformation procedures. All three proofs apply to two-dimensional Hilbert spaces, and are therefore stronger than traditional proofs of contextuality.

title: Impact of the Secondary Education Examination (English) on Students and Parents in Nepal
Creators: name: Dawadi, Saraswati
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: This study aimed at investigating the impact of the secondary education examination English test on students and their parents in Nepal. It was conducted with Grade 10 students (N=247) and their parents (N=6) in Nepal. It employed a mixed methods methodology comprising a longitudinal survey (pre-test and post-test survey) with students, oral diaries recorded by six students intermittently for three months and interviews with those six students and their parents both in the pre-test and post-test context. The test impacts were critically examined through the lens of critical language testing theory. The findings suggest that the majority of students (79%) were motivated to learn English in the pre-test context, but not in the post-test context. Most students and their parents had positive attitudes towards the test fairness and accuracy in the pre-test context but they considered the test to be unfair and inaccurate in the post-test context. They reported feeling extremely anxious about the test and under enormous pressure to raise test scores. The test had huge impact on learning English; students’ learning was limited to the test contents and they rarely used the strategies that develop their English language skills. Parents provided any possible support to their children for the test preparation. They even tended to coerce their children to use certain strategies for the test preparation and to work very hard for the test. However, individual differences were observed in each case. Despite the fact that the test supported students to study the subject of their choice at higher secondary level, the overwhelming majority of students had difficulty in learning different subjects taught through English at Grade 11. Thus, the study provided a set of implications for teaching English in an English as a foreign language context along with some recommendations for the improvement of the test and for future research.

description: Small, carefully crafted perturbations called adversarial perturbations can easily fool neural networks. However, these perturbations are largely additive and not naturally found. We turn our attention to the field of Autonomous navigation wherein adverse weather conditions such as fog have a drastic effect on the predictions of these systems. These weather conditions are capable of acting like natural adversaries that can help in testing models. To this end, we introduce a general notion of adversarial perturbations, which can be created using generative models and provide a methodology inspired by Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks to generate adversarial weather conditions for a given image. Our formulation and results show that these images provide a suitable testbed for steering models used in Autonomous navigation models. Our work also presents a more natural and general definition of Adversarial perturbations based on Perceptual Similarity.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Much can be learned through the process of handcrafting a jacket. A variation of A/R/Tography, HC/R/Tography, is utilized in this paper to explore and research the connections of the handcrafter, research, and teacher, and the implications that this has for home economics in general and the textiles and clothing classroom in specific. Images taken throughout the handcrafting process serve to track progress from inspiration, to making, and explore final metamorphosis, while creating connections in learning and understanding. By creating a jacket, the concept of handcrafting is explored, reflecting on the meaning of each step as it relates to curriculum and pedagogy in a clothing, textile and fashion classroom. Handcrafting as a process is used to explore the concepts of inspiration, creation and metamorphosis and their relationship to the pedagogy of experiential and transformative learning in home economics. Handcrafting was selected as the focus for this paper due to my personal connections with it throughout my education and career. The research question, “What does handcrafting teach?” is used to explore facets of the handcraft practice and how it relates to curriculum and pedagogy within the clothing and fashion classroom.

description: Since the introduction of property taxation in Serbian legislation, the tax system has been the subject of reforms a number of times for the purpose of its harmonization it with European Union standards. Initial changes were almost unnoticiable, while the latest modifications in the law attracted considerable interest of the tax policy creators, financial experts, as well as the taxpayers themselves because they introduced a new method of determining the tax basis which has increased the overall tax liabilities at annual level. Bearing in mind that the property tax generates local revenue and that local governments are in constant need for additional resources, the methodology of determining the tax liability should be based on the principle of equity and equality in order to ensure an ultimately efficient tax collection. In this paper, the authors will attempt to analyze both positive and negative aspects of improving the property tax system through a number of years, as well as to propose some solutions for the future reform of this system. By means of fiscal decentralization, this revenue plays an important role in financing local expenditure, while its abundance directly secures a larger autonomy of local self-government units, making them less dependable on the funds coming from the state budget.

description: Knowledge distillation constitutes a potent methodology for condensing substantial neural networks into more compact and efficient counterparts. Within this context, softmax regression representation learning serves as a widely embraced approach, leveraging a pre-established teacher network to guide the learning process of a diminutive student network. Notably, despite the extensive inquiry into the efficacy of softmax regression representation learning, the intricate underpinnings governing the knowledge transfer mechanism remain inadequately elucidated. This study introduces the 'Ideal Joint Classifier Knowledge Distillation' (IJCKD) framework, an overarching paradigm that not only furnishes a lucid and exhaustive comprehension of prevailing knowledge distillation techniques but also establishes a theoretical underpinning for prospective investigations. Employing mathematical methodologies derived from domain adaptation theory, this investigation conducts a comprehensive examination of the error boundary of the student network contingent upon the teacher network. Consequently, our framework facilitates efficient knowledge transference between teacher and student networks, thereby accommodating a diverse spectrum of applications.

description: In today’s time of modern business, where the most important environment or competition, which is increasingly specific to the globalization of markets and economic regulation, we can say it is unsuccessful without the use of digital technologies and the Internet. Powerful competition can bring significant benefits to consumers, taking into account that manufacturers are superior in terms of product quality, prices, service delivery, warranty period, deferred payment and various other bonuses to attract as many customers as possible to their product or service. The subject of research is the influence of the Internet and digital technology on the development of competitiveness. The key competitiveness factors of the companies on the market are current competitors, potential competitors, substitutes, customers and suppliers. These factors actually represent Potter’s model of five forces, and they will be further elaborated below, each individually.

description: Sejak ditetapkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 2014, maka terdapat perubahan mendasar bagi pengisian jabatan pimpinan tinggi di instansi pemerintah. Sesuai mandat oleh undang-undang tersebut, pengisian bagi jabatan pimpinan tinggi dilakukan secara terbuka dan kompetitif. Sementara itu, tata cara pengisian jabatan administrasi yang terdiri dari administrator, pengawas, dan pelaksana diatur dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 11 Tahun 2017 tentang Manajemen Pegawai Negeri Sipil juga mengalami perubahan. Perubahan dalam pengisian jabatan pimpinan tinggi dan administrasi tentu diharapkan dapat memperbaiki kinerja birokrasi. Lemhannas RI termasuk instansi pemerintah hibrida dalam hal asal sumber daya manusia yang terdiri dari PNS, prajurit TNI, dan anggota Polri. Perlu dilakukan analisis atas implementasi kebijakan pengisian jabatan pimpinan tinggi dan pengangkatan dalam jabatan administrasi. Hal ini bertujuan agar dapat diselami kondisi riil pelaksanaan dari kebijakan tersebut, sehingga dapat menjadi masukan kepada pemangku kepentingan terkait. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan: (1) telaah peraturan perundang-undangan; (2) wawancara; (3) observasi. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa seluruh faktor yang mempengaruhi implementasi kebijakan ini masih belum optimal.

description: One of the goals of machine learning is to eliminate tedious and arduous repetitive work. The manual and semi-automatic classification of millions of hours of solar wind data from multiple missions can be replaced by automatic algorithms that can discover, in mountains of multi-dimensional data, the real differences in the solar wind properties. In this paper we present how unsupervised clustering techniques can be used to segregate different types of solar wind. We propose the use of advanced data reduction methods to pre-process the data, and we introduce the use of Self-Organizing Maps to visualize and interpret 14 years of ACE data. Finally, we show how these techniques can potentially be used to uncover hidden information, and how they compare with previous manual and automatic categorizations.

description: To discuss current challenges and future perspectives in order to initiate a debate on the introduction of leadership in Serbia’s health care system. The ultimate goal of the review is to provide a ground work on which future standardized training and credentialing curriculum could be based on. The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched in December 2017 and January 2018 for scientific papers written in English using the keywords: health systems, management, leadership, medical education. Health care issues have been the subject of intense scientific discussions around the world for the past two decades. Most attention is drawn to the efforts of interested countries to find the most effective way of managing complex health care systems. There is evidence that management is important and that in successful management, the effects are correlated with management practices and promoted values. The situation where heads of health care teams of large clinical systems in Serbia are physicians, requires more attention to be paid to managerial and leadership skills. Clinical quality depends on employee team work, therefore leadership and management skills are necessary at all levels. The development of leadership competencies must be an integral part of the training and eductation of doctors in Serbia. There is currently a great necessity of a standardized curriculum to be developed and applyed with training and certification of current and future leaders.

description: We study the distribution of the Galois group of a random $q$-additive polynomial over a rational function field: For $q$ a power of a prime $p$, let $f=X^{q^n}+a_{n-1}X^{q^{n-1}}+\ldots+a_1X^q+a_0X$ be a random polynomial chosen uniformly from the set of $q$-additive polynomials of degree $n$ and height $d$, that is, the coefficients are independent uniform polynomials of degree ${\rm deg}\, a_i\leq d$. The Galois group $G_f$ is a random subgroup of ${\rm GL}_n(q)$. Our main result shows that $G_f$ is almost surely large as $d,q$ are fixed and $n\to \infty$. For example, we give necessary and sufficient conditions so that ${\rm SL}_n(q)\leq G_f$ asymptotically almost surely. Our proof uses the classification of maximal subgroups of ${\rm GL}_n(q)$. We also consider the limits: $q,n$ fixed, $d\to \infty$ and $d,n$ fixed, $q\to \infty$, which are more elementary.

description: A hybrid network--deterministic model for simulation of multiresistant pathogen spread in a healthcare system is presented. The model accounts for two paths of pathogen transmission between the healthcare facilities: inter-hospital patient transfers (direct transfers) and readmission of colonized patients (indirect transfers). In the latter case, the patients may be readmitted to the same facility or to a different one. Intra-hospital pathogen transmission is governed by a SIS model expressed by a system of ordinary differential equations. Using a network model created for a Lower Saxony region (Germany), we showed that the proposed model reproduces the basic properties of healthcare-associated pathogen spread. Moreover, it shows the important contribution of the readmission of colonized patients on the prevalence of individual hospitals as well as of overall healthcare system: it can increase the overall prevalence by the factor of 4 as compared to inter-hospital transfers only. The final prevalence in individual healthcare facilities was shown to depend on average length of stay by a non-linear concave function. Finally, we demonstrated that the network parameters of the model may be derived from administrative admission/discharge records. In particular, they are sufficient to obtain inter-hospital transfer probabilities, and to express the patients' transfer as a Markov process.
