Dixa inextricata

description: Dixa inextricata species group
Diagnosis. The most compelling synapomorphy known for this group occurs in the larval stage, which will be described elsewhere. The caudal process of these species has a longitudinal, dorsal row of spines medially, short and barely protruding in D. calciphila sp. nov., but much more developed in the other two species. The epiproct, typically a prominent, small, round, oval, subrectangular or triangular sclerite positioned between the 9th tergum and proctiger lobes of the male terminalia in related congeners, is reduced in this group (compare Figs 21–23 vs 24). The following characters serve to distinguish males of this group from all other known species of Dixa Meigen: scutum brown; wing hyaline, lacking infuscation; epiproct reduced; basal gonocoxal lobe subovoid to rounded, its greatest width ca. 1/ 3X length of gonocoxite, not extended beyond basal 2/3 of gonocoxite, horizontal margin not distended dorsally, resulting in no proximal bulge when viewed laterally; gonostylus triangular as seen in lateral view; restricted to the eastern Nearctic.

description: Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) associated uveitis (JIAU) are at risk for secondary glaucoma, frequently requiring surgical management. We compared the success rates for trabeculectomy (TE) and Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation. We conducted a retrospective analysis of TE (45 eyes), primary AGV (pAGV) (7 eyes), or secondary AGV (sAGV) implantation after TE (11 eyes) in JIAU at the 2-year follow-up. All groups achieved significant pressure reduction. After 1 year, the overall success rate was higher in the Ahmed groups (p = 0.03). After adjusting the p-value according to Benjamin Hochberg, there is no significant difference between the groups in the Kaplan–Meier, despite a significant logrank test between all groups (p = 0.0194) and a better performance in the Ahmed groups. Slightly better success rates were achieved with pAGV in managing JIAU patients with glaucoma refractory to medical treatment.

description: Background: Recognised as essential for high-quality dementia service, person-centred care aims to understand and respect the unique needs of each individual. Self-experience practices may offer caregivers an opportunity to acquire knowledge, empathy, and skills related to person-centred care, especially through recreating experiences similar to dementia. Given the need to enhance the understanding of self-experience practices in dementia care, a more comprehensive investigation of these training interventions for (future) caregivers is needed. Methods: We conducted a scoping review to map the evidence on the use of self-experience practices in dementia training. We systematically searched Cochrane Library, MEDLINE via PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science. We also searched for grey literature, as well as registry entries, and conducted backward citation tracking of included reviews. We analysed data on intervention characteristics, factors influencing the implementation, and learning outcomes based on Kirkpatrick’s model. Results: We included 44 reports across 30 intervention programmes. The majority of reports (91%) were published from 2016 onwards, with 32% originating from the USA and 25% from the UK. We identified passive, interactive, immersive, and multicomponent self-experience interventions in dementia education and training. Learning outcomes based on Kirkpatrick’s model were fairly distributed across all identified modalities. Both consumers and providers emphasised aspects related to the development and implementation of practices, particularly organisational-related considerations such as temporal and spatial planning of trainings. Conclusions: Our review highlights diverse interventions incorporating self-experience practices, with an increasing role for technological tools. While self-experience interventions engage participants, the impact on individuals with dementia and organisational levels remain largely unreported. Our overview, informed by current literature, underscores unique considerations and challenges associated with dementia-related self-experience practices. Implementing and evaluating complex training interventions using self-experience practices should consider ethical aspects.

Design and modeling of a MEMS-based accelerometer with pull in analysis
Creators: name: Kannan, Akila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis reports the design and modelling of a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical system) based inertial accelerometer. The main motivation to design a differential type of accelerometer is that such a kind of structure allows differential electrostatic actuation and capacitive sensing. They can be operated at the border of stability also so that the “pull in” operation mode can be explored. Such kinds of structures have a wide range of applications because of their high sensitivity. One is in the field of minimally invasive surgery where accelerometers will be combined with gyroscopes to be used in the navigation of surgical tools as a inertial micro unit (IMU). The choice for the design of a structure with 1 Degree ofFreedom(DOF) , instead of a 2-DOF device was instigated by the simplicity of the design and by a more efficient 1-DOF dynamic model. The accelerometers were designed and optimized using the MATLAB simulator and COVENTORWARE simulation tool. First set of devices is fabricated using a commercial foundry process called SOIMUMPs. The simulation tests show that the SOl accelerometer system yields 8.8kHz resonant frequency, with a quality factor of 10 and 2.l2mV/g sensitivity. To characterize the accelerometer a new semi automatic tool was formulated for the noise analysis and noise based optimization of the accelerometer design and the analysis estimation shows that there is a trade off between the SIN ratio and the sensitivity and for the given design could be made much better in terms of SIN by tuning its resonant frequency.

description: To assess COVID-19 vaccination status among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). A cross-sectional study. Twelve hospitals from all regions of Thailand. One hundred and eighty people with SCI were randomly selected from the Thai SCI registry database. Not applicable. The primary outcome, which was the COVID-19 vaccination status, and the secondary outcomes, which were the number of vaccination doses, satisfaction and dissatisfaction aspects, and barriers to vaccination, were recorded using a specifically developed questionnaire over the telephone during February to March 2022. Data were analyzed using descriptive analyses, bivariate, and multivariable analyses. Of the 96 people with SCI who were able to respond, the prevalence of receiving at least one dose was 77% but the prevalence of receiving a booster dose was 20%. Being non-traumatic SCI correlated negatively with having received any vaccination doses when compared to traumatic SCI. Most of the participants were satisfied with the government provision of COVID-19 vaccines. The major barriers to vaccination were problems related to a negative attitude toward the vaccination, followed by transportation difficulties and wheelchair-inaccessible vaccination sites. Seventy-seven percent of people with SCI participating in this study received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, whereas only 20% of them received a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccination. To increase the prevalence of vaccination, healthcare providers should deliver the fact regarding COVID-19 vaccination to reduce negative attitudes, as well as remove physical barriers to vaccination places for people with SCI.

description: Background: Extended aortic repair is considered a key issue for the long-term durability of surgery for DeBakey type 1 aortic dissection. The risk of aortic degeneration may be higher in young patients due to their long life expectancy. The early outcome and durability of aortic surgery in these patients were investigated in the present study. Methods: The subjects of the present analysis were patients under 60 years old who underwent surgical repair for acute DeBakey type 1 aortic dissection at 18 cardiac surgery centres across Europe between 2005 and 2021. Patients underwent ascending aortic repair or total aortic arch repair using the conventional technique or the frozen elephant trunk technique. The primary outcome was 5-year cumulative incidence of reoperation on the distal aorta. Results: Overall, 915 patients underwent surgical ascending aortic repair and 284 patients underwent surgical total aortic arch repair. The frozen elephant trunk procedure was performed in 128 patients. Among 245 propensity score–matched pairs, total aortic arch repair did not decrease the rate of distal aortic reoperation compared to ascending aortic repair (5-year cumulative incidence, 6.7% versus 6.7%, subdistributional hazard ratio 1.127, 95% c.i. 0.523 to 2.427). Total aortic arch repair increased the incidence of postoperative stroke/global brain ischaemia (25.7% versus 18.4%, P = 0.050) and dialysis (19.6% versus 12.7%, P = 0.003). Five-year mortality was comparable after ascending aortic repair and total aortic arch repair (22.8% versus 27.3%, P = 0.172). Conclusions: In patients under 60 years old with DeBakey type 1 aortic dissection, total aortic arch replacement compared with ascending aortic repair did not reduce the incidence of distal aortic operations at 5 years. When feasible, ascending aortic repair for DeBakey type 1 aortic dissection is associated with satisfactory early and mid-term outcomes.

description: This special issue within the Global Dialogues series reports on a exploration of the relationship between cultural diversity and democratic global cooperation. Usually cultural differences are assumed to be a problem and a hindrance for people to work together in a democratic way. But could it be instead an opportunity for constructive and democratic global public policy? To consider this possibility the Käte Hamburger Kolleg / Centre for Global Cooperation Research (KHK/GCR21) in collaboration with the Building Global Democracy programme (BGD) convened a working group of ten researchers with extensive experience in theories and practices of cultural politics. Indeed, the group itself encompassed large geographical, social, disciplinary and ideological diversities.
        In November 2013 the working group met for a workshop at KHK/GCR21 offices in Duisburg, Germany. After this meeting the participants rewrote their individual reflections in the light of their dialogue together. They suggest an alternative of ‘transculturalism’ might make diversity and difference a major asset for effective responses to pressing global issues. Addressing both, the promises and the pitfalls, this booklet offers to open wider horizons for, and invigorate further debate on, democratic global cooperation.

Tackling growing inequalities (UNTANGLED Policy Brief)

description: Growing inequalities are shaping modern economies and societies, driven by dramatic changes in the technological landscape, in the organisation of global transactions and value chains and in response to global challenges raised by the financial crisis, the pandemic and the energy crisis. The emerging inequalities are manifest in diverging trends in economic and employment growth between places, as well as the redistribution of wealth among population and worker groups (Chancel et al., 2022). Increasing inequalities are therefore a dominant trait of the contemporary era. Even if national tax and benefits systems can partly mitigate the effects of automation on income inequality (Doorley et al., 2023), digitalisation is expected to amplify inequalities across places (Capello et al., 2023), across firms (Jona-Lasinio and Venturini, 2022) and workers (Perugini and Pompei, 2022).In the opinion of many commentators and scholars, this scenario calls for attention to possible policy actions to curb such multiple inequalities or at least to mitigate their most harmful effects. By analysing some of the factors pushing toward the upsurge of inequalities in the new millennium, Project UNTANGLED has contributed to understanding of which policy fields such interventions could target and the potential complementarities and synergies among EU, national and regional-level actions. Such multi-dimensional and multi-level policies may range from the creation and/or upgrading of digital infrastructure and uptake of cutting-edge technologies, to a renewed prominence of all those social policies aimed at upskilling the current and future labour force and to ensure quality jobs, all central themes in the EU Digital decade agenda.

Toward a general nested soft-collinear subtraction method for NNLO calculations

Publisher: name: Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA)
Year: 2024

description: In this proceeding we report on the recent study [1] performed in the context of nested soft-collinear subtraction [2]. The scheme is designed to provide a
fully differential and analytic subtraction method for infrared singularities at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD. At variant with respect to the first formulation of the nested soft-collinear subtraction, Ref. [1] aims at organising the subtraction procedure in a way that allows for a drastic reduction of the complexity related to the proliferation of the subtraction terms, and at dealing with arbitrary final states. In this document we highlight a crucial aspect of the analysis of Ref. [1]: the idea of rearranging NNLO subtraction terms as iterations of few universal structures identified at NLO.
Optimal ridge penalty for real-world high-dimensional data can be zero or negative due to the implicit ridge regularization

description: A conventional wisdom in statistical learning is that large models require strong regularization to prevent overfitting. Here we show that this rule can be violated by linear regression in the underdetermined $n\ll p$ situation under realistic conditions. Using simulations and real-life high-dimensional data sets, we demonstrate that an explicit positive ridge penalty can fail to provide any improvement over the minimum-norm least squares estimator. Moreover, the optimal value of ridge penalty in this situation can be negative. This happens when the high-variance directions in the predictor space can predict the response variable, which is often the case in the real-world high-dimensional data. In this regime, low-variance directions provide an implicit ridge regularization and can make any further positive ridge penalty detrimental. We prove that augmenting any linear model with random covariates and using minimum-norm estimator is asymptotically equivalent to adding the ridge penalty. We use a spiked covariance model as an analytically tractable example and prove that the optimal ridge penalty in this case is negative when $n\ll p$.

description: This project used a systematic and integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach to co-create theory- and evidence-based best practices for physical activity counseling for adults with spinal cord injury (SCI). Guided by the IKT Guiding Principles, we meaningfully engaged research users throughout this project. A systematic approach was used. An international, multidisciplinary expert panel (n = 15), including SCI researchers, counselors, and people with SCI, was established. Panel members participated in two online meetings to discuss the best practices by drawing upon new knowledge regarding counselor-client interactions, current evidence, and members’ own experiences. We used concepts from key literature on SCI-specific physical activity counseling and health behavior change theories. An external group of experts completed an online survey to test the clarity, usability and appropriateness of the best practices. The best practices document includes an introduction, the best practices, things to keep in mind, and a glossary. Best practices focused on how to deliver a conversation and what to discuss during a conversation. Examples include: build rapport, use a client-centred approach following the spirit of motivational interviewing, understand your client’s physical activity barriers, and share the SCI physical activity guidelines. External experts (n = 25) rated the best practices on average as clear, useful, and appropriate. We present the first systematically co-developed theory- and evidence-based best practices for SCI physical activity counseling. The implementation of the best practices will be supported by developing training modules. These new best practices can contribute to optimizing SCI physical activity counseling services across settings.

description: Objective: The aim of the present systematic review is to synthesize existing evidence (qualitative and quantitative) regarding age- and sex-specific differences with glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Design: The electronic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, and Web of Science were searched up to March 15, 2023. Articles reporting on the association of risk factors (age and sex) with glenohumeral osteoarthritis were considered. We used Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to assess study quality. Meta-analysis was conducted to quantitatively summarize the association of age and sex with glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Results: A total of 24 articles were retrieved for full-text review. Of 24 articles, 8 reporting age-specific and 5 articles reporting sex-specific associations with glenohumeral osteoarthritis were included. The odds ratio for the age (odds ratio = 3.18; 95% confidence interval = 1.10–15.92) and female sex (odds ratio = 1.78; 95% confidence interval = 0.95–3.42) were increased and observed statistically significant. Conclusions: The present systematic review and meta-analysis suggests the role of increasing age as one of the significant contributors to glenohumeral osteoarthritis. However, association of female sex with glenohumeral osteoarthritis is least convincing. Future studies are required to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the contributory role of increasing age and female sex in the establishment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

description: To report the availability and activity of online uveitis support groups. An online search was conducted for support groups for uveitis. Member count and activity were recorded. Posts and comments were graded along five themes: emotional or personal story sharing, information seeking, offer of outside information, emotional support, and expressions of gratitude. An online search resulted in 32 support groups for uveitis. Across all groups, there was a median membership of 725 (IQR 1410.5). Of the 32 groups, five were active and accessible at the time of study. In these five groups, 337 posts and 1406 comments were made within the past year. The most prevalent theme in posts consisted of information seeking (84%) while the most prevalent theme in comments consisted of emotion or personal story sharing (65%). Online uveitis support groups provide a unique space for emotional support, information sharing, and community building.Abbreviations: OIUF – Ocular Inflammation and Uveitis Foundation.

description: Assess refractive outcomes following uveitic cataract surgery and identify factors associated with deviations from the target refractive goal. A multicenter retrospective chart review was performed for 216 subjects with uveitis undergoing cataract surgery. Prediction error was calculated and tested for association with demographic and clinical characteristics using single variable and multiple regression analysis. 39.8% of eyes deviated from the intended refractive target by at least 0.5 diopters (D). The mean prediction error was 0.56 ± 0.67 D. Younger age (p = 0.042), preoperative inflammatory corneal findings (keratic precipitates and/or band keratopathy) (p = 0.0004), and poorer postoperative visual acuity (p = 0.0054) were associated with a deviation from the intended refractive target by at least 1 D. A higher percentage of eyes undergoing uveitic cataract surgery deviated from the intended refractive target when compared to reported refractive outcomes in normal subjects. Younger age, preoperative inflammatory corneal sequelae, and poorer postoperative visual acuity were associated with this outcome.

description: Introduction: The reduction of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in ruminant feed is desirable due to costs and negative environmental impact. Ruminants are able to utilize N and P through endogenous recycling, particularly in times of scarcity. When N and/or P were reduced, changes in mineral homeostasis associated with modulation of renal calcitriol metabolism occurred. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential effects of dietary N- and/or P-reduction on the regulatory mechanisms of mineral transport in the kidney and its hormonal regulation in young goats. Results: During N-reduction, calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) concentrations in blood decreased, accompanied by a lower protein expression of cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily B member 1 (CYP27B1) (p = 0.016). The P-reduced fed goats had low blood phosphate concentrations with simultaneously high Ca and Mg levels. The insulin-like growth factor 1 concentrations decreased significantly with P-reduction. Furthermore, gene expression of CYP27B1 (p < 0.001) and both gene (p = 0.025) and protein (p = 0.016) expression of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1c isoform in the kidney were also significantly reduced during a P-reduced diet. ERK1/2 activation exhibited a trend toward reduction in P-reduced animals. Interestingly, calcitriol concentrations remained unaffected by either restriction individually, but interacted significantly with N and P (p = 0.014). Additionally, fibroblast growth factor 23 mRNA expression in bone decreased significantly with P-restriction (p < 0.001). Discussion: These results shed light on the complex metabolic and regulatory responses of mineral transport of young goats to dietary N and P restriction.

Recycling clock network energy in high-performance digital designs using on-chip DC-DC converters

description: Power consumption of CMOS digital logic designs has increased rapidly for the last several years. It has become an important issue, not only in battery-powered applications, but also in high-performance digital designs because of packaging and cooling requirements. At multi-GHz clock rates in use today, charging and discharging CMOS gates and wires, especially in clocks with their relatively large capacitances, leads to significant power consumption. Recovering and recycling the stored charge or energy about to be lost when these nodes are discharged to ground is a potentially good strategy that must be explored for use in future energy-efficient design methodologies. This dissertation investigates a number of novel clock energy recycling techniques to improve the overall power dissipation of high-performance logic circuits. If efficient recycling energy of the clock network can be demonstrated, it might be used in many high-performance chip designs, to lower power and save energy. A number of chip prototypes were designed and constructed to demonstrate that this energy can be successfully recycled or recovered in different ways: • Recycling clock network energy by supplying a secondary DC-DC power converter: the output of this power converter can be used to supply another region of the chip, thereby avoiding the need to draw additional energy from the primary supply. One test chip demonstrates energy in the final clock load can be recycled, while another demonstrates that clock distribution energy can be recycled. • Recovering clock network energy and returning it back to the power grid: each clock cycle, a portion of the energy just drawn from the supply is transferred back at the end of the cycle, effectively reducing the power consumption of the clock network. The recycling methods described in this thesis are able to preserve the more ideal square clock shape which has been a limitation of previous work in this area. Overall, the results provided in this thesis demonstrate that energy recycling is very promising and must be pursued in a number of other areas of the chip in order to obtain an energy-efficient design.

description: The high abundance of most viruses in infected host cells benefits their structural characterization. However, endogenous viruses are present in low copy numbers and are therefore challenging to investigate. Here, we retrieve cell extracts enriched with an endogenous virus, the yeast L-A virus. The determined cryo-EM structure discloses capsid-stabilizing cation-π stacking, widespread across viruses and within the Totiviridae, and an interplay of non-covalent interactions from ten distinct capsomere interfaces. The capsid-embedded mRNA decapping active site trench is supported by a constricting movement of two flexible opposite-facing loops. tRNA-loaded polysomes and other biomacromolecules, presumably mRNA, are found in virus proximity within the cell extract. Mature viruses participate in larger viral communities resembling their rare in-cell equivalents in terms of size, composition, and inter-virus distances. Our results collectively describe a 3D-architecture of a viral milieu, opening the door to cell-extract-based high-resolution structural virology.

description: Neighbor embeddings are a family of methods for visualizing complex high-dimensional datasets using $k$NN graphs. To find the low-dimensional embedding, these algorithms combine an attractive force between neighboring pairs of points with a repulsive force between all points. One of the most popular examples of such algorithms is t-SNE. Here we empirically show that changing the balance between the attractive and the repulsive forces in t-SNE using the exaggeration parameter yields a spectrum of embeddings, which is characterized by a simple trade-off: stronger attraction can better represent continuous manifold structures, while stronger repulsion can better represent discrete cluster structures and yields higher $k$NN recall. We find that UMAP embeddings correspond to t-SNE with increased attraction; mathematical analysis shows that this is because the negative sampling optimisation strategy employed by UMAP strongly lowers the effective repulsion. Likewise, ForceAtlas2, commonly used for visualizing developmental single-cell transcriptomic data, yields embeddings corresponding to t-SNE with the attraction increased even more. At the extreme of this spectrum lie Laplacian Eigenmaps. Our results demonstrate that many prominent neighbor embedding algorithms can be placed onto the attraction-repulsion spectrum, and highlight the inherent trade-offs between them.

description: To investigate predisposing immunosuppressive conditions causing cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVr) and risk factors for delayed diagnosis in patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2018 in the Swedish population of 10 million. Sixty-three consecutive patients (100 eyes) were diagnosed with CMVr. The most common immunosuppressive state predisposing for CMVr was hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (27%) and hematological malignancy (24%). Two patients (3.2%) had no other predisposing factor than diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients with delayed diagnosis (≤30 days) were older than those with earlier diagnosis, mean age 68.7 (±9.8) and 48.8 (±17.6), respectively, p = .001. Signs of intraocular inflammation (IOI) were seen in 42 (70%) of cases and more common in delayed than early diagnosis, 16 (89%) and 21 (60%) respectively (p = .03). Delayed diagnosis was more common in older individuals with signs of IOI. DM may be a risk factor for CMVr, and clinical signs can be mistaken for diabetic retinopathy.

description: Although deep learning models have taken on commercial and political relevance, key aspects of their training and operation remain poorly understood. This has sparked interest in science of deep learning projects, many of which require large amounts of time, money, and electricity. But how much of this research really needs to occur at scale? In this paper, we introduce MNIST-1D: a minimalist, procedurally generated, low-memory, and low-compute alternative to classic deep learning benchmarks. Although the dimensionality of MNIST-1D is only 40 and its default training set size only 4000, MNIST-1D can be used to study inductive biases of different deep architectures, find lottery tickets, observe deep double descent, metalearn an activation function, and demonstrate guillotine regularization in self-supervised learning. All these experiments can be conducted on a GPU or often even on a CPU within minutes, allowing for fast prototyping, educational use cases, and cutting-edge research on a low budget.

description: To investigate the incidence of and predictive factors for recurrent cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-negative patients. A retrospective review of HIV-negative patients who were newly diagnosed with CMVR between January 2005 and February 2019. Of 28 patients (44 eyes), 35.9% of eyes had a recurrence of CMVR after discontinuation of anti-CMV therapy. The incidence of CMVR recurrence was 17 per 100 eye-years. The factors significantly associated with CMVR recurrence were eyes with retinitis area of more than 25% (P = .013), absence of vitreous haze (P = .003), neutropenia at presentation (P = .001), and absence of systemic immunosuppression therapy prior to presentation (P = .002). Eyes with a large area of retinitis, absence of vitreous haze, and neutropenia at presentation are predictive of CMVR recurrence while receiving systemic immunosuppression prior to CMVR presentation has a lower risk of CMVR recurrence.
