description: In the pre-hospital emergency-urgency system the nurse often manages patients with alterations in body temperature in terms of both hypothermia and hyperthermia. Conditions that favour heat loss are: trauma, burns, hypoglycaemia, neurological syndromes, neuro-degenerative diseases, drug or alcohol intoxication, sepsis and septic shock. As far as hyperthermia is concerned, the conditions that can lead to an increase in body temperature are: microbial infections, burns, neoplasms, inflammatory diseases, heatstroke, hormonal diseases, intoxication and drug addiction. There is little data analysing the phenomenon in the pre-hospital setting. Proper assessment of the patient presenting hypothermia or hyperthermia in the pre-hospital setting ensures proper planning and implementation of targeted, accurate and immediate interventions. Body temperature detection, therefore, is fundamental to patient management as the EBP states.The objectives are as follows: to map the literature pertaining to body temperature detection in the pre-hospital setting during patient assesment

description: We consider a solution of the effective four-dimensional brane-world equations, obtained from the General Relativistic Schwarzschild metric via the principle of Minimal Geometric Deformation, and investigate the corresponding signatures stemming from the possible existence of a warped extra dimension. In particular, we derive bounds on an extra-dimensional parameter, closely related with the fundamental gravitational length, from the experimental results of the classical tests of General Relativity in the Solar system.

description: We developed a novel Plasmodium falciparum genotyping strategy based on the heteroduplex tracking
assay (HTA) method commonly used to genotype viruses. Because it can detect both sequence and size polymorphisms,
we hypothesized that HTA is more sensitive than current methods. To test this hypothesis, we compared the ability of
HTA and a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect genetic diversity in 17 Thai samples. The HTA detected
more MSP1 sequence variants in eight isolates (47%), less sequence variants in three isolates (18%), and an equal
number of sequence variants in six isolates (35%), suggesting that HTA is equal to or more sensitive than the nested
PCR. This study is a proof of concept that HTA is a sensitive allelic discrimination method able to determine genetic
diversity in P. falciparum and warrants its use in studies of antimalarial drug efficacy.

description: Molecular markers have been proposed as a method of monitoring malaria drug resistance and could potentially be used to prolong the life span of antimalarial drugs. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Plasmodium falciparum gene pfmdr1 and increased gene copy number have been associated with in vitro drug resistance
but have not been well studied in vivo. In a prospective cohort study of malaria patients receiving mefloquine treatment
on the Thai-Myanmar border, there was no significant association between either pfmdr1 SNPs or in vitro drug sensitivity
and mefloquine resistance in vivo. Increased pfmdr1 gene copy number was significantly associated with recrudescence
(relative risk 2.30, 95% CI 1.27–4.15). pfmdr1 gene copy number may be a useful surveillance tool for
mefloquine-resistant falciparum malaria in Thailand.

description: This paper presents a comprehensive and quality collection of functional human brain network data for potential research in the intersection of neuroscience, machine learning, and graph analytics. Anatomical and functional MRI images have been used to understand the functional connectivity of the human brain and are particularly important in identifying underlying neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Autism. Recently, the study of the brain in the form of brain networks using machine learning and graph analytics has become increasingly popular, especially to predict the early onset of these conditions. A brain network, represented as a graph, retains rich structural and positional information that traditional examination methods are unable to capture. However, the lack of publicly accessible brain network data prevents researchers from data-driven explorations. One of the main difficulties lies in the complicated domain-specific preprocessing steps and the exhaustive computation required to convert the data from MRI images into brain networks. We bridge this gap by collecting a large amount of MRI images from public databases and a private source, working with domain experts to make sensible design choices, and preprocessing the MRI images to produce a collection of brain network datasets. The datasets originate from 6 different sources, cover 4 brain conditions, and consist of a total of 2,702 subjects. We test our graph datasets on 12 machine learning models to provide baselines and validate the data quality on a recent graph analysis model. To lower the barrier to entry and promote the research in this interdisciplinary field, we release our brain network data and complete preprocessing details including codes at https://doi.org/10.17608/k6.auckland.21397377 and https://github.com/brainnetuoa/data_driven_network_neuroscience.

description: Electrically driven single-photon emitting devices have immediate applications in quantum cryptography, quantum computation and single-photon metrology. Mature device fabrication protocols and the recent observations of single defect systems with quantum functionalities make silicon carbide (SiC) an ideal material to build such devices. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of bright single photon emitting diodes. The electrically driven emitters display fully polarized output, superior photon statistics (with a count rate of $>$300 kHz), and stability in both continuous and pulsed modes, all at room temperature. The atomic origin of the single photon source is proposed. These results provide a foundation for the large scale integration of single photon sources into a broad range of applications, such as quantum cryptography or linear optics quantum computing.

description: To characterize the clinical presentation, surgical management, long-term complications and outcomes of Gunshot Wounds(GSW) to the orbit. An extended case series with retrospective chart-review was conducted on all cases (1985–2020) of traumatic ocular injuries secondary to GSWs at an academic institution with a level 1 trauma center. Predictors included demographic information, clinical and radiologic examination findings, and surgical intervention at time of presentation. Outcomes included long-term lid malposition, visual acuity, pain, and secondary surgery. Descriptive statistics and tests of association were performed, including Fishers exact tests for categorical data, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests, analysis of variance, and, in the case of repeated measures, generalized estimating equations. 88 patients with GSW involving the orbit were included with average age of 32.6 years (sd = 15.7). Patients were 85.2% male, 75% African-American, 25.0% Caucasian, and 5.7% Hispanic. Median follow up was 43.3 months (4.6, 136.4). The injuries at presentation were 53.4% intracranial, 21.6% open globe, 80.7% orbital fracture, 89.8% lid laceration. Visual acuity did not significantly improve over time. Long-term complications included abnormal lid or globe position in 26.1% of patients, reduced visual acuity in 55.2%, and persistent pain in 50.6%. To our knowledge, this represents the first and largest clinical epidemiologic study with insight into the clinical presentation, surgical intervention, and long-term outcomes of GSW to the orbit. The results demonstrate a long-term burden of persistent pain and reduced visual acuity in patients who suffer from GSW to the globe and orbit. This study may guide patient management and communications.

description: Artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) have recently been adopted as first-line therapy for Plasmodium
falciparum infections in most malaria-endemic countries. In this study, we estimated the association between
artesunate-mefloquine therapy failure and genetic changes in the putative transporter, pfmdr1. Blood samples were
acquired from 80 patients enrolled in an 2004 in vivo efficacy study in Pailin, Cambodia, and genotyped for pfmdr1 copy
number and haplotype. Having parasites with three or more copies of pfmdr1 before treatment was strongly associated
with recrudescence (hazard ratio [HR] = 8.30; 95% CI: 2.60–26.43). This relationship was maintained when controlling
for initial parasite density and hematocrit (HR = 7.91; 95% CI: 2.38–26.29). Artesunate-mefloquine treatment selected
for increased pfmdr1 copy number, because isolates from recurrent episodes had higher copy numbers than the paired
enrollment samples (Wilcoxon rank test, P = 0.040). pfmdr1 copy number should be evaluated further as a surveillance
tool for artesunate-mefloquine resistance in Cambodia.

description: Wie werden eigene private Daten geschützt? Um dieser Frage nachzugehen, wurde in einer qualitativen Studie mit sechs Informatikabsolvent_innen erfragt, wie diese die Privatheit ihrer Daten schützen. Das Ziel der teilstrukturierten Interviews war es einen möglichst breiten Überblick über tatsächlich verwendete Techniken und Technologien zum Schutz der privaten Daten zu gewinnen. Während sich die Vermutung bestätigte, dass alle Teilnehmer_innen ein Bewusstsein für die Brisanz ihrer privaten Daten hatten, unterschieden sich die Definitionen ebendieser privaten Daten sowie das Verhalten, um diese zu schützen. Es konnte beobachtet werden, dass viel Wissen in diesem Bereich nicht zwangsläufig zu einem vorsichtigeren Handeln führt. Mögliche genannte Strategien zum Schutz der eigenen Daten sind: Informiert bleiben, Datensparsamkeit, Vermeidung der Produkte bestimmter Konzerne sowie Resignation. Als Motivation für das jeweilige Verhalten wurden sowohl politische, philosophische, utilitaristische, als auch angstgetriebene Gründe genannt. Letztere können in Angst vor Diebstahl und Angst vor Andersbehandlung unterschieden werden.

Effective treatment of PFAS contaminated waste and process water using coagulation and flocculation - Implications for soil washing

description: Poster-presentation at the 33rd SETAC conference, Dublin (May 2023) High concentrations of Per- and Polyfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are found in different waste waters, like leachat waters from landfillls, in domestical and industrial wastewater and in soil washing water from soil washing facilities handling PFAS contaminated soil. Water treatment steps in these application commonly include a coagulation and flocculation step, where particles and parts of dissolved subtances are separated from the liquid phase. For an environmental sustainable use of soil washing as a remediation method the treatment and reuse of washing water is crucial. To evaluate the effectivness of different coagulants and flocculants 6, on the market available products, were tested for their PFAS reduction efficiency. The selection resembled typicall coagulants used in soil washing, waste and water treatment facilities (e.g metalloxides, polyacrylamides, activated carbon products) and one specially designed, biodegradable PFAS additive made from renewable raw materials. To mimic soil washing waste water, a silt-clay-water mixture, spiked with PFAS in concentrations typically found at AFFF contaminated sites was used. These sites are, due to their high PFAS soil concentrations favourable for soil washing as a remediation method. Preliminary results show reduction efficiencies of standard flocculants rangig up to 50% for long chain PFAS and up to 30% for short chain PFAS. Maximum reduction rates for long chain PFAS can be reached by lower coagulant concentrations compared to short chain PFAS. The use of specially designed green additives in this study lead to high reduction of PFAS. Concentrations of long chain PFAS can hereby be reduced by over 98% and for short chain PFAS by over 85%. The results of this study indicate that by choosing the right coagulant and flocculant in the wastewater treatment process, PFAS can be efficiently removed from the water phase. It should be noticed, that the change of a coagulant or flocculant can be done while operating these facilities and withouth bigger investments in additional treatment infrastructure, which makes this approach fast and easy to implement.

description: Environmental factors have been shown to be related to cholera and thus might prove useful for prediction.
In Bangladesh and Vietnam, temporal cholera distributions are related to satellite-derived and in-situ environmental
time series data in order to examine the relationships between cholera and the local environment. Ordered probit
models examine associations in Bangladesh; probit models examine associations at 2 sites in Vietnam. Increases in ocean
chlorophyll concentration are related to an increased magnitude of cholera in Bangladesh. Increases in sea surface
temperature are most influential in Hue, Vietnam, whereas increases in river height have a significant role in Nha Trang,
Vietnam. Cholera appearance and epidemic magnitude are related to the local environment. Local environmental
parameters have consistent effects when cholera is regular and more prevalent in endemic settings, but in situations
where cholera epidemics are rare there are differential environmental effects.

description: Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are recognized as the most promising magnetar candidates, as indicated by their energetic bursts and rapid spin-downs. It is expected that the strong magnetic field leaves distinctive imprints on the emergent radiation both by affecting the radiative processes in atmospheres of magnetars and by scattering in the upper magnetospheres. We construct a self-consistent physical model that incorporates emission from the magnetar surface and its reprocessing in the three-dimensional (3D) twisted magnetosphere using a Monte Carlo technique. The synthetic spectra are characterized by four parameters: surface temperature kT, surface magnetic field strength $B$, magnetospheric twist angle $Δϕ$, and the normalized electron velocity $β$. We also create a tabular model (STEMS3D) and apply it to a large sample of XMM-Newton spectra of magnetars. The model successfully fits nearly all spectra, and the obtained magnetic field for 7 out of the 11 sources are consistent with the values inferred from the spin-down rates. We conclude that the continuum-fitting by our model is a robust method to measure the magnetic field strength and magnetospheric configuration of AXPs and SGRs. Investigating the multiple observations of variable sources, we also study the mechanism of their spectral evolution. Our results suggest that the magnetospheres in these sources are highly twisted ($Δϕ> 1$), and the behavior of magnetospheric twisting and untwisting is revealed in the 2002 outburst of 1E 2259+586.

description: We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital for fever, chills, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue, myalgia, and general muscle weakness. All these symptoms had occurred 3 weeks after the ingestion of
inadequately cooked pork meat, subsequently confirmed to be infested with Trichinella spiralis . Laboratory results
showed mild leukocytosis, inflammation, and mild liver and muscle cytolytic syndrome, all suggestive of trichinellosis.
Echocardiography showed apical hypokinesis and an apical mass (likely a thrombus). The immunologic assessment for
the presence of Trichinella antigens was positive. The outcome was favorable after treatment with an anticoagulant, an
antiaggregant, prednisone, and mebendazole. Follow-up controls showed the absence of any symptoms and thrombus,
with only mild electrocardiogram modifications still present.
Composing behaviours in the semiring of dynamical systems

Year: 2020

description: By considering the operations of product and sum (co-product) in the category of finite dynamical systems, we obtain a semiring structure, which allows us to analyse the composition of dynamics from an algebraic point of view. This semiring D appears to have a relatively complex structure, including multiple distinct decompositions into irreducible elements. We investigate the algorithmic solvability of equations in the associated semiring of polynomials D[X], which ranges from undecidable to tractable, as well as the related question of (in)decomposability of finite dynamical systems.

A decision tree model was used to estimate costs, outcomes, and incremental cost-effectiveness for 17,893 pregnant women attending 28 antenatal clinics who received long-lasting ITNs free of charge. Costs including purchase, transportation, storage, and distribution of ITNs were derived from program records. The ITN efficacy and other parameters were derived from peer-reviewed literature. Outcomes modeled included low birth weight (LBW) deliveries, infant deaths averted, life-years saved (LYs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) averted. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. For the 17,893 women in our program, ITN distribution would be expected to avert 587 LBW deliveries and 414 infant deaths. The incremental cost-effectiveness was US $17.22 per DALY averted (95% confidence interval [CI] = US $8.54-$30.90), US $15.70 per LY saved (95% CI = US $7.65-$27.68), and US $411.13 per infant death averted (95% CI = US $353.95-$1,085.89). If resources were constrained, the greatest benefit would be among women in their first through fourth pregnancies. Thus, ITN distribution is a cost-effective addition to antenatal services.

description: This article charts the journey of Kibble, from one of Scotland's oldest child and youth care charities, to an award-winning social enterprise. It explores the definition and history of social enterprise and how Kibble created a Victorian blended income-stream long before the term 'social enterprise' had been coined. The authors discuss the daily challenges and opportunities of adopting a social enterprise model in a child and youth care organisation. Finally they outline the need to blend purpose with profit and explore the impact on stakeholders, beneficiaries, staff and ultimately on wider society.

description: We performed a cross-sectional study of Trypanosoma cruzi seroprevalence in 14 communities in three provinces of Ecuador and estimated the magnitude of the association of seropositive individuals within households. A total of 3,286 subjects from 997 households were included. Seroprevalence was 5.7%, 1.0%, and 3.6% in subjects in the Manabí, Guayas, and Loja provinces, respectively. Seroprevalence increased with increasing age in Manabí and Guayas, whereas in Loja, the highest prevalence occurred in children ≤ 10 years of age. In the coastal provinces, clustering of seropositives within households was not observed after adjustment for other household factors. However, in the Andean province of Loja, the odds of seropositivity were more than two times greater for an individual living in a household with another seropositive person. Our results indicate that transmission of T. cruzi is ongoing in Ecuador, although intensity of transmission and mechanisms of interaction between humans and the insect vectors of disease vary between geographic regions.

description: The orientational order in vertically agitated granular rod monolayers is investigated experimentally and compared quantitatively with equilibrium Monte Carlo simulations and density functional theory. At sufficiently high number density, short rods form a tetratic state and long rods form a uniaxial nematic state. The length-to-width ratio at which the order changes from tetratic to uniaxial is around $7.3$ in both experiments and simulations. This agreement illustrates the universal aspects of the ordering of rod-shaped particles across equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems. Moreover, the assembly of granular rods into ordered states is found to be independent of the agitation frequency and strength, suggesting that the detailed nature of energy injection into such a nonequilibrium system does not play a crucial role.

description: Filtering and smoothing algorithms for linear discrete-time state-space models with skewed and heavy-tailed measurement noise are presented. The algorithms use a variational Bayes approximation of the posterior distribution of models that have normal prior and skew-t-distributed measurement noise. The proposed filter and smoother are compared with conventional low-complexity alternatives in a simulated pseudorange positioning scenario. In the simulations the proposed methods achieve better accuracy than the alternative methods, the computational complexity of the filter being roughly 5 to 10 times that of the Kalman filter.

Associations of Song Properties with Habitats for Territorial Oscine Birds of Eastern North America
Creators: name: Wiley, R. Haven
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: To investigate adaptations for long-range acoustic communication in birds, I analyzed associations between broad categories of habitats and properties of territorial songs for eastern North American oscines. From published recordings, I obtained three frequency properties (maximal, minimal, and dominant) and three temporal properties of songs (presence of sidebands, presence of buzzes, minimal period of repeated elements). Sidebands and buzzes indicated rapid amplitude modulation of a carrier frequency. Habitats occupied by territorial males were classified into six categories (broad-leaved or mixed forest, coniferous forest, parkland or forest edge, shrubland, grassland, and marshes). Frequencies in songs correlated strongly with body size, which varied among habitats. Analysis of covariance and phylogenetic regression, after controlling for body size, revealed an association of maximal but not dominant or minimal frequencies with habitat. In contrast, the temporal properties of song were all strongly associated with habitat, even within phylogenetic groupings. These results suggest that the temporal properties of songs of many oscines have evolved to reduce the effects of reverberation in forested habitats. Exceptional species might have retained features of song subject to degradation to permit listeners to judge distances to singers. In addition, adaptations for acoustic communication in different habitats might include differences in the perception of songs.
Noise and Nonlinearity in Measles Epidemics: Combining Mechanistic and Statistical Approaches to Population Modeling

description: We present and evaluate an approach to analyzing population dynamics data using semimechanistic models. These models incorporate reliable information on population structure and underlying dynamic mechanisms but use nonparametric surface-fitting methods to avoid unsupported assumptions about the precise form of rate equations. Using historical data on measles epidemics as a case study, we show how this approach can lead to better forecasts, better characterizations of the dynamics, and better understanding of the factors causing complex population dynamics relative to either mechanistic models or purely descriptive statistical time-series models. The semimechanistic models are found to have better forecasting accuracy than either of the model types used in previous analyses when tested on data not used to fit the models. The dynamics are characterized as being both nonlinear and noisy, and the global dynamics are clustered very tightly near the border of stability (dominant Lyapunov exponent λ < 0). However, locally in state space the dynamics oscillate between strong short-term stability and strong short-term chaos (i.e., between negative and positive local Lyapunov exponents). There is statistically significant evidence for short-term chaos in all data sets examined. Thus the nonlinearity in these systems is characterized by the variance over state space in local measures of chaos versus stability rather than a single summary measure of the overall dynamics as either chaotic or nonchaotic.
