description: Background: The Brief Scale of Psychological Well-Being for Adolescents (BSPWB-A) is a 20-items self-report questionnaire developed to measure adolescents’ psychological well-being. The present study aims to adapt and validate the BSPWB-A in the Indonesian context. Methods: Referring to International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines, the adaptation and validation procedure included back-translation, peer and expert reviews, cognitive interviews, and evaluation of scale psychometric properties. Data from 770 junior and high school students aged 11 to 19 were collected and analyzed to identify the scale reliability (internal consistency) and construct validity through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Convergent validity was assessed by correlating the BSPWB-A score with other related measures, such as the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-6 (K-6). Results: The BSPWB-A has good psychometric properties. An acceptable Cronbach’s alpha coefficient indicated high internal consistency. The CFA supported the four-factor model implying adequate construct validity. Moreover, the instrument correlated positively with the life satisfaction and positive affect scales; and negatively with the psychological distress and negative affect scales. Conclusions: The Indonesian version of the BSPWB-A is psychometrically sound for assessing adolescents’ psychological well-being in Indonesia.

description: Introdução: Os recém-nascidos (RN) têm um peso considerável no total de admissões nas urgências pediátricas hospitalares mas constata-se que a maioria destas admissões são injustificadas do ponto de vista clínico.

Objectivos: Obter elementos que permitam reduzir a proporção de atendimentos desnecessários e proporcionar uma melhor adequação dos cuidados prestados na urgência pediátrica.

Material e métodos: Estudo descritivo prospectivo longitudinal sobre a coorte dos RN nascidos no nosso hospital no pe - ríodo doze meses, com detecção das visitas à urgência pediátrica hospitalar durante o período neonatal.

Resultados: Os RN contribuíram para 3% do total de crianças observadas na urgência pediátrica, 73% dos quais (621 RN) nascidos no nosso hospital, o que correspondeu a 17,8% dos nascimentos nesse mesmo período. Os principais motivos de recurso à urgência hospitalar foram queixas gastrointestinais, icterícia, queixas respiratórias e choro. Os diagnósticos mais frequentemente atribuídos corresponderam a problemas de puericultura e patologia neonatal benigna. Onze por cento dos casos resultaram em internamento, principalmente para realização de fototerapia. Setenta por cento de todos os casos foram considerados injustificados do ponto de vista clínico. Verificou-se uma maior frequência de recurso não justificado à urgência hospitalar nos casos de mãe com menor escolaridade e nas primíparas.

Conclusões: A maioria das visitas neonatais à urgência pediátrica hospitalar corresponde a situações não urgentes. Devem ser reforçadas as medidas de esclarecimento, apoio e formação das mães, quer durante a gravidez (cursos de preparação para o parto), quer depois do parto, com um aprofundamento da sua relação com os locais de Cuidados de Saúde Primários. Salientam-se ainda a inespecificidade dos sintomas dos RN em casos de doenças potencialmente graves e a importância da referenciação à urgência hospitalar.

description: The field-particle correlation technique utilizes single-point measurements to uncover signatures of various particle energization mechanisms in turbulent space plasmas. The signature of Landau damping by electrons has been found in both simulations and observations from Earth's magnetosheath using this technique, but instrumental limitations of spacecraft sampling rates present a challenge to discovering the full extent of the presence of Landau damping in the solar wind. Theory predicts that field-particle correlations can recover velocity-space energization signatures even from data that is undersampled with respect to the characteristic frequencies at which the wave damping occurs. To test this hypothesis, we perform a high-resoluation gyrokinetic simulation of space plasma turbulence, confirm that it contains signatures of electron Landau damping, and then systematically reduce the time resolution of the data to identify the point at which the signatures become impossible to recover. We find results in support of our theoretical prediction and look for a rule of thumb that can be compared with the measurement capabilities of spacecraft missions to inform the process of applying field-particle correlations to low time resolution data.

description: Introdução: O melhor conhecimento dos factores de risco da gravidez na adolescência, especialmente a não desejada, pode ser uma forma de contribuir para a sua prevenção.

Objectivo: Determinar possíveis factores de risco sociais, comportamentais e biológicos de gravidez na adolescência.

Métodos: Estudo de caso-controlo comparando adolescentes grávidas (casos) com adolescentes que nunca estiveram grávidas (controlos). Foram analisados factores de risco (a) social: índice de Graffar, tipo de família, rendimento escolar e abandono escolar; (b) comportamental: hábitos de dependência, coitarca, contracepção e número de parceiros sexuais; e (c) biológico: idade, menarca, regularidade dos ciclos menstruais, índice de massa corporal e perturbações da saúde mental.

Resultados: Foram incluídas 50 jovens em cada grupo, emparelhadas por idade. Os factores de risco de gravidez encontrados com significado estatístico foram (a) sociais: índice de Graffar ≥4 (OR: 4,96; IC 95%: 1,96-12,74), família não nuclear (OR: 4,64; IC 95%: 1,83-11,98), reprovações prévias (OR: 8,84; IC 95%: 3,20-25,16) e abandono escolar (OR: 9,01; IC 95%: 3,34-24,96); (b) comportamentais: hábitos de dependência (OR: 8,43; IC 95%: 1,65-57,87) e não utilização de contracepção (OR: 44,33; IC 95%: 5,05-100,92); e (c) biológicos: idade de menarca <12 anos (OR: 5,25; IC 95%: 1,89-15,02), irregularidade dos ciclos menstruais (OR: 4,51; IC 95%: 1,74-11,91) e índice de massa corporal >percentil 85 (OR: 2,95; IC 95%: 1,04-8,55). Não se revelaram factores de risco de gravidez a existência de mais de um parceiro sexual (OR: 4,42; IC: 0,5-99,31), idade de coitarca <15 anos (OR: 5,11; IC 95%: 0,93-36,71) e as perturbações da saúde mental (OR=1; IC 95%=0,15-6,63).

Conclusão: Na promoção da saúde sexual e reprodutiva su - gere-se que se dê atenção privilegiada às jovens de meio desfavorecido, de famílias não nucleares, com insucesso escolar, hábitos de dependência, idade menor de menarca, ausência de contracepção, irregularidade menstrual e excesso de peso.

description: We analyse the response and thermal behaviour of an Unruh-DeWitt detector as it travels through cosmological spacetimes, with special reference to the question of how to define surface gravity and temperature in dynamical spacetimes. Working within the quantum field theory on curved spacetime approximation, we consider a detector as it travels along geodesic and accelerated Kodama trajectories in de Sitter and asymptotically de Sitter FLRW spacetimes. By modelling the temperature of the detector using the detailed-balance form of the Kubo--Martin--Schwinger (KMS) conditions as it thermalises, we can better understand the thermal behaviour of the detector as it interacts with the quantum field, and use this to compare competing definitions of surface gravity and temperature that persist in the literature. These include the approaches of Hayward-Kodama, Ashtekar et al., Fodor et al., and Nielsen-Visser. While these are most often examined within the context of a dynamical black hole, here we shift focus to surface gravity on the evolving cosmological horizon.

description: KLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel "Hängt das Bedürfnis nach geistiger Herausforderung mit dem Wohlbefinden zusammen?". Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Als testlesende Person war Ruben beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Menschen unterscheiden sich darin, wie gerne sie geistig herausgefordert werden. Sie nehmen dann eher an anspruchsvollen Aktivitäten teil, die viel Nachdenken erfordern. Sie haben zum Beispiel Spaß am Lösen von Rätseln. Einzelne Forschungsergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass das auf Dauer zu mehr Wohlbefinden führen kann. Menschen mit einem hohen Bedürfnis nach geistigen Herausforderungen könnten nämlich zum Beispiel lernen mit Problemen besser umzugehen. Ob es diesen Zusammenhang wirklich gibt, ist aber noch unklar. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: Wie hängt das Bedürfnis nach geistiger Herausforderung mit dem Wohlbefinden zusammen? Das Bedürfnis nach geistiger Herausforderung hängt mit dem Wohlbefinden zusammen. Erwachsene mit einem größeren Bedürfnis nach geistiger Herausforderung haben eher auch ein höheres Wohlbefinden.

description: Introdução: Os acidentes rodoviários são a principal causa de morte e incapacidade infantil em Portugal. A utilização dos sistemas de retenção adequados no transporte automóvel de recém-nascidos, lactentes e crianças contribui para a diminuição de lesões em caso de acidente.

Objectivos: Determinar os conhecimentos e respectiva fonte de informação das puérperas sobre transporte automóvel de recém-nascidos e crianças e avaliar a intenção sobre a forma de transporte do recém-nascido à saída da maternidade.

Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado na Maternidade de um Hospital Universitário em 2003, com aplicação de um inqué rito a uma amostra de 475 puérperas entre as 24 e as 48 horas pós-parto. Foram estudadas as variáveis respeitantes à caracterização sócio-demográfica, gravidez, parto e recém-nascido e transporte automóvel de recém-nascidos e crianças.

Resultados: Verificou-se que 92% das mães não considera seguro o transporte ao colo no automóvel e 80,4% considera mais segura a utilização de cadeira apropriada. À alta hospitalar, 72,8% tenciona utilizar a cadeira apropriada, 18,5% a alcofa e 7,2% tenciona transportar o recém-nascido ao colo no percurso automóvel até ao domicílio. A intenção sobre o modo de transporte do recém-nascido no automóvel relaciona- se com a idade (p=0,011), com a etnia (p<0,01), com a escolaridade (p<0,01) e com a paridade das mães (p=0,04). Apenas 52,6% das mulheres se encontram bem informadas sobre o transporte automóvel seguro e 80,8% refere a comunicação social como fonte de informação.

Conclusão: Considera-se necessário que os profissionais de saúde se envolvam na informação sobre transporte automóvel de recém-nascidos e crianças durante a gravidez e puerpério, de forma a incentivar o transporte correcto e a diminuir a morbilidade e mortalidade infantis nos acidentes de viação.

description: We develop a new approach to tackle communication constraints in a distributed learning problem with a central server. We propose and analyze a new algorithm that performs bidirectional compression and achieves the same convergence rate as algorithms using only uplink (from the local workers to the central server) compression. To obtain this improvement, we design MCM, an algorithm such that the downlink compression only impacts local models, while the global model is preserved. As a result, and contrary to previous works, the gradients on local servers are computed on perturbed models. Consequently, convergence proofs are more challenging and require a precise control of this perturbation. To ensure it, MCM additionally combines model compression with a memory mechanism. This analysis opens new doors, e.g. incorporating worker dependent randomized-models and partial participation.

description: The emerging quantum technologies heavily rely on the understanding of dynamics in open quantum systems. In the Born approximation, the initial system-bath correlations are often neglected which can be violated in the strong coupling regimes and quantum state preparation. In order to understand the influence of initial system-bath correlations, we study the extent to which these initial correlations and the distance of separation between qubits influence the dynamics of quantum entanglement and coherence. It is shown that at low temperatures, the initial correlations have no role to play while at high temperatures, these correlations strongly influence the dynamics. Furthermore, we have shown that distance of separation between the qubits in presence of collective bath helps to maintain entanglement and coherence at long times.

description: Introdução: A adaptação à vida extra-uterina, ou transição fetal-neonatal, é um processo biológico complexo que envolve modificações funcionais em todos os órgãos e sistemas do recém-nascido.

Objectivo: Avaliar os principais aspectos fisiológicos e clínicos de adaptação à vida extra-uterina, em recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso.

Material e métodos: Estudo prospectivo de uma coorte histórica de recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso (peso ao nascimento inferior a 1500g) admitidos no Serviço de Neona - tologia de um hospital de apoio perinatal diferenciado, entre 2000 e 2005. Através da revisão dos processos clínicos, foram colhidos dados relativos à adaptação respiratória, hemodinâmica, metabólica, nutricional, térmica, neurológica e mortalidade, nas primeiras 24 horas de vida.

Resultados: Foram estudados 104 recém-nascidos (57F/47M), com mediana da idade gestacional nas 29 semanas (22-36) e mediana do peso ao nascimento nos 1095g (500-1495), 37 (36%) com peso inferior a 1000g. Ao nascimento, 69 recémnascidos (66%) foram intubados e iniciaram ventilação mecânica. Sessenta e três recém-nascidos (61%) desenvolveram doença das membranas hialinas, 60 (58%) necessitaram surfactante exógeno. Às 24 horas de vida 56 recém-nascidos (54%) apresentavam necessidade de ventilação mecânica e 79 (76%) de oxigenioterapia. Quarenta e sete recém-nascidos (45%) apresentaram hipotensão arterial, 21 (20%) necessitaram de apoio vasopressor, 42 (40%) apresentaram acidose metabólica, 30 (29%) hipoglicemia, nove (9%) hipotermia e sete (7%) hemorragia intraventricular. Quinze recém-nascidos (14%) iniciaram alimentação entérica. Três recém-nascidos (3%) faleceram. As complicações do processo adaptativo ocorreram com maior frequência nos recém-nascidos com peso ao nascimento inferior a 1000g.

Conclusão: O recém-nascido de muito baixo peso, devido à imaturidade fisiológica dos seus aparelhos e sistemas, apresenta dificuldade, ou mesmo incapacidade, de adaptação à vida extra-uterina. As medidas actuais de suporte, tendo por base o conhecimento da fisiopatologia dos mecanismos home ostáticos envolvidos nos processos de adaptação, permitem a transição fetal-neonatal da maioria destes recém-nas - cidos.

description: Introdução: A mastoidite aguda é a principal complicação da otite média aguda. A antibioticoterapia e a melhoria dos cuidados de saúde diminuiram drasticamente a sua incidência, mas nos últimos tempos tem-se verificado um recrudescimento da doença.

Objectivos: Avaliar características sociodemográficas, clínicas, laboratoriais e evolução da mastoidite aguda na população infantil num Hospital Geral, na Zona Metropolitana de Lisboa.

Métodos: Revisão dos casos de crianças internadas com mastoidite aguda entre Junho de 1996 e Maio de 2005.

Resultados: Registaram-se 77 episódios (71 crianças), com uma incidência estimada de 9,3/10000 crianças na área estudada, predomínio do sexo masculino (62,3%) e raça caucasiana (93,4%). A mediana de idades foi 3,8 anos (mínimo-5 meses; máximo-14 anos). Em 26 casos (33,8%), havia história de otites de repetição e em 16 (20,8%) outras patologias do foro otorrinolaringológico. Nos três meses anteriores ao internamento, 58,4% tinham tomado antibióticos. A clínica cursou com febre (77,9%), sinais inflamatórios auriculares: rubor (70,1%), edema (67,5%), calor (57,1%), otalgia (46,8%), protrusão do pavilhão auricular (44,2%) e otorreia (40,3%). Os agentes isolados foram Pseudomonas aeruginosa (8), Strep to coccus pneumoniae (4) e Staphylococcus coagulase negativo (1). Registaram-se complicações em 20 doentes (26%): osteíte (5), abcesso subperiósteo (5), meningite (4), abcesso craniano de Bezold (1), abcesso de partes moles (1), trombose venosa (1) e parésia facial (2). Os antibióticos mais utilizados foram as cefalosporinas de 3ª geração (48,3%), 2ª geração (25%) e amoxicilina/ácido clavulânico (25%). Realizou-se intervenção cirúrgica em 20,8% dos doentes. Faleceram duas crianças imunodeficientes. Actualmente, 68,8% estão curadas, quatro registaram recaídas e oito mantêm otites de repetição.

Conclusões: Pelo elevado número de casos e potencial aparecimento de complicações, a mastoidite aguda continua a ser uma patologia a considerar em Pediatria. A miringotomia deve ser mais considerada nestas situações e a utilização de antibióticos na comunidade deve ser criteriosa.

description: Introdução: A varicela é habitualmente uma doença benigna e auto-limitada, podendo no entanto ocorrer complicações gra ves. A piomiosite é uma infecção primária do músculo esquelético, pouco frequente em climas temperados, por ve zes difícil de diagnosticar na fase inicial e é uma complicação rara da varicela.

Doentes e Métodos: Revisão dos processos clínicos de todas as crianças com varicela e piomiosite, admitidas no Serviço de Urgência em 2004.

Resultados: Foram observadas quatro crianças (três rapazes) com piomiosite, no decurso de varicela. A mediana de idades era 22 meses. Todos eram previamente saudáveis, não existia história recente de traumatismo e nenhum estava vacinado contra a vari cela. Tratava-se de casos secundários nos seus agregados familiares e todos estavam a receber ibuprofeno. O diagnóstico foi feito precocemente em todos, com base na ecografia e confirmado por ressonância magnética em dois. Todos os casos correspondiam ao estadio inicial de evolução das piomiosites. To - dos receberam antibiótico e num caso foi necessário associar dre nagem cirúrgica. A evolução foi favorável. Isolou-se Streptococcus pyogenes em dois casos e Staphylococcus aureus em um.

Conclusão: Num curto período de tempo foram identificados quatro casos de piomiosite no decurso de varicela. Nenhum deles ultrapassou o primeiro estadio de gravidade da evolução. O tratamento empírico inicial incluiu cobertura anti-es - trep tocócica e anti-estafilocócica e foi utilizada também, na fase inicial, a clindamicina. A pesquisa microbiológica é mui - to importante e permitiu a mais adequada tomada de decisões terapêuticas. A evolução foi favorável em todos.

description: Properties of the noise-driven escape kinetics are mainly determined by the stochastic component of the system dynamics. Nevertheless, the escape dynamics is also sensitive to deterministic forces. Here, we are exploring properties of the overdamped drifted escape from finite intervals under the action of symmetric $α$-stable noises. We show that the properly rescaled mean first passage time follows the universal pattern as a function of the generalized Pécklet number, which can be used to efficiently discriminate between domains where drift or random force dominate. Stochastic driving of the $α$-stable type is capable of diminishing the significance of the drift in the regime when the drift prevails.

description: Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of zero-temperature, high-density quark matter plays an integral role in attempts to constrain the behavior of the dense QCD matter found inside neutron-star cores, irrespective of the phase realized inside the stars. In this Letter, we consider the weak-coupling expansion of the dense QCD equation of state and compute the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order contribution arising from the non-Abelian interactions among long-wavelength, dynamically screened gluonic fields. Accounting for these interactions requires an all-loop resummation, which can be performed using hard-thermal-loop (HTL) kinematic approximations. Concretely, we perform a full two-loop computation using the HTL effective theory, valid for the long-wavelength, or soft, modes. We find that the soft sector is well-behaved within cold quark matter, contrary to the case encountered at high temperatures, and find that the new contribution decreases the renormalization-scale dependence of the equation of state at high density.

description: We study the waveforms of time signals produced by scalar perturbations in static hairy black holes, in which the perturbations can be governed by a double-peak effective potential. The inner potential peak would give rise to echoes, which provide a powerful tool to test the Kerr hypothesis. The waveforms are constructed in the time and frequency domains, and we find that the late-time waveforms are determined by the long-lived and sub-long-lived quasinormal modes, which are trapped in the potential valley and near the smaller peak, respectively. When the distance between the peaks is significantly larger than the width of the peaks, a train of decaying echo pulses is produced by the superposition of the long-lived and sub-long-lived modes. In certain cases, the echoes can vanish and then reappear. When the peaks are close enough, one detects far fewer echo signals and a following sinusoid tail, which is controlled by the long-lived or sub-long-lived mode and hence decays very slowly.

Differential diagnosis. Laemoglyptus gandakiensis differs from the other species of the L. gandakiensis -subgroup by the combination of the narrow emargination of the dorsal part of the aedeagus, being apically curved in lateral view and shorter than the laterophyses (cf. KAZANTSEV 2009).
Distribution. Nepal: Western Region. KAZANTSEV (2009) reported it also from the Central Region.

description: Magnetic focussing of charge carriers in two-dimensional systems provides a solid state version of a mass spectrometer. In the presence of a spin-orbit interaction, the first focussing peak splits into two spin dependent peaks, allowing focussing to be used to measure spin polarisation and the strength of the spin-orbit interaction. In hole systems, the k^3 dependence of the Rashba spin-orbit term allows the spatial separation of spins to be changed in-situ using a voltage applied to an overall top gate. Here we demonstrate that this can be used to control the splitting of the magnetic focussing peaks. Additionally, we compare the focussing peak splitting to that predicted by Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and k.p bandstructure calculations. We find that the focussing peak splitting is consistently larger than expected, suggesting further work is needed on understanding spin dependent magnetic focussing.
title: Electron-phonon interactions using Wannier-Fourier interpolation
Creators: name: Engel, Manuel
Year: 2017

description: Neue Verfahren im Bereich der computergestützten Materialphysik ermöglichen eine effiziente Berechnung der Wechselwirkung zwischen Elektronen und Phononen in ab-initio Simulationen von Festkörpern. Im Speziellen ist ein Wannier-Fourier-InterpolationsSchema entwickelt worden, welches auf einer alternativen Representation der üblichen Bloch-Orbitale durch Wannier-Functionen beruht. Diese Methode verwendet die räumliche Lokalisierung dieser Funktionen verbunden mit einem Cut-off-Radius im Ortsraum um eine Interpolation auf beliebige Punkte im reziproken Raum durch eine generalisierte Fourier-Transformation zu ermöglichen. Das Ziel dieser wissenschaftlichen Arbeit war die zuvor genannte Methode in das Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package zu implementieren, sowie ein solides und flexibles Framework für weitere Entwicklungen bereitzustellen. Gegenwärtig stützt sich die Implementierung auf die Simulation von Superzellen, verwendet finite Differenzen und ist mit der projector-augmented-wave-Methode kompatibel. Die Erstanwendung des Interpolations-Schemas auf Diamant zeigt vielversprechende Resultate, welche die Funktionstüchtigkeit der verwendeten Algorithmen untermauern. Insbesondere sind sowohl Nullpunkts- als auch temperaturabhängige Renormalisierung des direkten Bandübergangs im Rahmen der Allen-Heine-Cardona-Theorie berechnet worden. Trotz ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit fehlt es der vorliegenden Implementierung an wünschenswerten Elementen und ihre Funktionalität ist eingeschränkt. Dies ist Grund genug um weitere Entwicklung anzustreben.
description: New techniques in computational materials physics allow for efficient calculations of electron-phonon interactions in ab-initio simulations of condensed matter. Specifically, a Wannier-Fourier-interpolation scheme has been developed, which is based on an alternative representation of electronic Bloch orbitals using Wannier functions. This technique utilizes the spatial localization of these functions combined with a real-space cut-off in order to perform an interpolation to arbitrary reciprocal lattice points via a generalized Fourier transform. The aim of this thesis was to implement the aforementioned method into the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package and provide a solid and flexible framework for further developments. Presently, the implementation is based on super-cell calculations utilizing finite differences and it is compatible with the projector augmented-wave method. Incipient application of the interpolation scheme to diamond showed promising results, providing strong evidence that the present algorithms work as intended. In particular, the zero-point as well as temperature-dependent renormalization of the direct band gap have been calculated in the framework of the Allen-Heine-Cardona theory. The current implementation, albeit potent, still lacks desirable features and is limited in functionality, which calls for further developments.
