description: Background: Inter-limb asymmetry above a certain threshold in functional performance indicates increased injury risk in sports. Fatigue has been found to increase bilateral asymmetry in lower-limb jumping performance among high-school and adult athletes, whereas this impact has not been examined in child athletes. This study aimed to examine the effect of fatigue on inter-limb asymmetry in functional performances in elite Taekwondo athletes aged between 9 and 11 years. Methods: Performance of single-leg jumps, Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), and muscle (hamstring and gastrocnemius) flexibility were measured for 13 elite male child Taekwondo athletes (aged 9.85 ± 0.80 years) at both the rested and fatigued states to examine the inter-limb asymmetry. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to examine for difference and the interaction between limb (dominant, non-dominant leg) and state (rested, fatigued state) for each test. Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the asymmetry magnitude at the rested vs. fatigued state for each test, and the variation of performance post fatigue in the dominant vs. non-dominant leg when appropriate. Results: The inter-limb asymmetry in triple-hop distance significantly (p = 0.046) increased with fatigue, whereas the asymmetry significantly (p = 0.004) decreased with fatigue in anterior (ANT) reach distance in SEBT. A significant (p = 0.027) limb by state interaction was shown for posterolateral (PL) reach distance in SEBT, wherein a significant (p = 0.005) bilateral difference was only shown at the rested state. The PL reach distance showed a significantly greater decrease (p = 0.028) post fatigue when using the dominant leg for support compared to using the non-dominant leg. Conclusions: Fatigue significantly impacts inter-limb asymmetry in jump performances and dynamic balance for child athletes, while the variation of inter-limb asymmetry post fatigue may be different across tests. For the purpose of injury prevention, practitioners should consider assessing the inter-limb asymmetry for children at both the rested and fatigued state and be mindful of the fatigue response of each leg in functional tests.

description: Цитологическое исследование является общепризнанным методом морфологической диагностики, позволяющим оценить состояние эпителия при воспалительных заболеваниях, предопухолевых процессах и раке. На современном этапе развития клинической медицины важно выявление не только начальных стадий рака, но и предраковых заболеваний, фоновых процессов. В связи с этим метод цитологической диагностики как скрининговый является одним из наиболее успешных в плане уменьшения частоты диагноза РШМ.

description: Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase gene fusions (NTRK) are oncogenic drivers present at a low frequency in most tumour types (80%) in a small number of rare tumours (e.g., infantile fibrosarcoma [IFS]) and considered mutually exclusive with other common oncogenic drivers. Health Canada recently approved two tyrosine receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors, larotrectinib (for adults and children) and entrectinib (for adults), for the treatment of solid tumours harbouring NTRK gene fusions. In Phase I/II trials, these TRK inhibitors have demonstrated promising overall response rates and tolerability in patients with TRK fusion cancer who have exhausted other treatment options. In these studies, children appear to have similar responses and tolerability to adults. In this report, we provide a Canadian consensus on when and how to test for NTRK gene fusions and when to consider treatment with a TRK inhibitor for pediatric patients with solid tumours. We focus on three pediatric tumour types: non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma/unspecified spindle cell tumours including IFS, differentiated thyroid carcinoma, and glioma. We also propose a tumour-agnostic consensus based on the probability of the tumour harbouring an NTRK gene fusion. For children with locally advanced or metastatic TRK fusion cancer who have either failed upfront therapy or lack satisfactory treatment options, TRK inhibitor therapy should be considered.

description: The purpose of this research is to explore what information sources are influencing the perception of south Korean youths about unification between North and South Korea. The Research Examined the sources and the tone of message which the youths receive from non-school sources such as family, peers, teachers, religious institutions and media. The research methodology combined a survey with interviews. Questionnaires were collected from a total of 273 students in 3 high schools located in metropolitan ares of Seoul in South Korea. Interviews with a student and a unification education lecturer who is a North Korean defector were also conducted. SPSS was used to analyze questionnaires with descriptive analysis, correlation, and multiple regression. Interviews were analyzed for emerging themes. The findings showed that the media and teachers were the primary sources of information about unification. In terms of feeling about messages, students feel that their peers provide mostly negative messages whereas their teachers and religious institutions are more positive. Both media and family were judged to provide about equally negative and positive messages. The students feel that the overall tone of messages from all sources is about equally balanced between positive and negative messages. Lastly, 56% of students have negative feelings about North Korea and unification, which reflects the messages from peer groups. Teachers' positive messages are not very related to students' perception s on unification and North Korea. Among media, movies are a strong influential source in the formation of perceptions toward North Korea. All the information sources such as family, teachers, peers and media equally affect students' feelings about North Korea and unification. Media that students heavily rely on for information are not the exclusive factor contributing to the most personal feelings. My findings suggest that high school students need unification education in formal school curriculum since teachers' messages are not through official curriculum but through informal communications. Without formal education about unification, students tend to rely on other information sources. Also, to positively influence the narrative of unification, unification education needs to expand to adults through civic education. This research supports the necessity of unification education for South Korean youths and adults as a way of achieving unification.
Towards TB elimination: how are macro-level factors perceived and addressed in policy initiatives in a high burden country?

description: Background: Notwithstanding extensive general discussion of the effects of upstream forces on health, there has been limited empirical examination, let alone systematic evidence documenting policy responses to such pathways in the area of tuberculosis (TB) management and control. Our study aimed to gain insight into how macro level drivers of TB are perceived by key stakeholders involved in TB management and control in a high-endemic country, and to assess how such concerns are being addressed in policy initiatives in this setting. South Africa was chosen for this case study due to our team’s long-standing collaborations there, its very high burden of TB, and its introduction of a strategic plan to combat this disease. Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 key informants who were purposively selected for their knowledge and expertise of TB in South Africa. South Africa’s National Strategic Plan for HIV, TB and STIs 2017–2022 was then reviewed to examine how identified themes from the interviews were reflected in this policy document. Results: A history of colonization, the migrant labour system, economic inequality, poor shelter, health system challenges including TB governance, the HIV epidemic, and pertinent socio-cultural factors were all perceived to be major drivers of the epidemic. Although South Africa’s current National Strategic Plan makes a firm discursive commitment to addressing the structural or macro-level drivers of TB, our analysis revealed that this commitment was not clearly reflected in projected budgetary allocations. Conclusion: As in many other high burden settings, macro-level drivers of TB are widely recognized. Nonetheless, while micro-level (biomedical and clinical) measures, such as improving diagnostic procedures and investment in more efficacious drugs, are being (and well should be) implemented, our findings showed that macro-level drivers of TB are underrepresented in budgeting allocations for initiatives to combat this disease. Although it could be argued that structural drivers that undermine health-promoting actions are beyond the purview of the health sector itself, we argue that strategic plans to combat TB in high burden settings need more attention to directly considering such drivers to prompt the necessary changes and reduce the burden of this and other such diseases.

description: The advent of the digital communication has led cryptography into becoming an important agent in providing a secure channel for information exchange. However, the implementation of these cryptosystems in hardware platform presents several challenges in terms of performance and resource constraints. In this doctoral work, new implementations are presented for two specific cryptographic schemes, which are namely the Advanced Encryption System (AES) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). The proposed work includes the optimisation of the mathematic operations such that they are both effective and efficient in implementation. As an end result, this has successfully reduced the hardware cost (area and power consumption) and enhanced the performance of hardware cryptosystems.

description: Retired batteries (RBs) for second-life applications offer promising economic and environmental benefits. However, accurate and efficient sorting of RBs with discrepant characteristics persists as a pressing challenge. In this study, we propose an electrode aging assessment approach to address this concern. First, we introduce three novel electrode aging parameters (EAPs) by investigating the aging-induced relative position shifts of electrode and battery OCV curves. Compared with conventional sorting indices, these EAPs are capable of intuitively interpreting the impact of primary aging mechanisms on battery electrodes, i.e., loss of lithium inventory and loss of active material. Second, we present a data-driven scheme for rapid EAP estimation. This scheme only relies on a number of 15 open circuit voltage (OCV) feature points with fixed magnitudes and varying differential charge amounts to capture essential OCV characteristics at different levels of aging, thereby eliminating the need for substantial and successive OCV data collection and alleviating associated computational cost. In addition, we employ an adaptive affinity propagation algorithm to sort RBs that unlocks the necessity of pre-determining the clustering number. Validation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach in contrast to capacity based benchmark methods.

description: This work studied the impact of three types of styrene-butadiene (SB and SBS) block copolymers on the morphology, electrical, and rheological properties of immiscible blends of polypropylene:polystyrene (PP:PS)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with a fixed blend ratio of 70:30 vol.%. The addition of block copolymers to PP:PS/MWCNT blend nanocomposites produced a decrease in the droplet size. MWCNTs, known to induce co-continuity in PP:PS blends, did not interfere with the copolymer migration to the interface and, thus, there was morphology refinement upon addition of the copolymers. Interestingly, the addition of the block copolymers decreased the electrical resistivity of the PP:PS/1.0 vol.% MWCNT system by 5 orders of magnitude (i.e., increase in electrical conductivity). This improvement was attributed to PS Droplets-PP-Copolymer-Micelle assemblies, which accumulated MWCNTs, and formed an integrated network for electrical conduction. Molecular simulation and solubility parameters were used to predict the MWCNT localization in the immiscible blend. The simulation results showed that diblock copolymers favorably interact with the nanotubes in comparison to the triblock copolymer, PP, and PS. However, the interaction between the copolymers and PP or PS is stronger than the interaction of the copolymers and MWCNTs. Hence, the addition of copolymer also changed the localization of MWCNT from PS to PS–PP–Micelles–Interface, as observed by TEM images. In addition, in the last step of this work, we investigated the effect of the addition of copolymers on inter- and intra-cycle viscoelastic behavior of the MWCNT incorporated polymer blends. It was found that addition of the copolymers not only affects the linear viscoelasticity (e.g., increase in the value of the storage modulus) but also dramatically impacts the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior under large deformations (e.g., higher distortion of Lissajous–Bowditch plots).]

description: We demonstrate that atomically thin nitrogen-based binary group-V wide band-gap indirect semiconductors (NX (X=As, Sb)) can show strong linear and nonlinear optical activities. Contrary to NAs, we find that the fundamental optical absorption in NSb is infact quite resilient towards the temperature variations between 0-450 K. Exciton in NSb is however found to be less strongly bound (1.40 eV) compared to the more tight case in NAs (1.63 eV), leading to a more delocalised Mott-Wannier type texture. The inhomogenous excitonic linewidths for both monolayers within these temperatures are found to be in the range of 100-400 meV. The largest nonlinear second harmonic optical coefficient (2$\omega$ resonances) in NAs and NSb monolayers are obtained to be $\sim$270 and 636 pm/V at 2.6 eV (477 nm) and 3.2 eV (387 nm) respectively. We also provided a detailed analysis of in-plane biaxial strain on these structures. We found that a tensile strain is energetically more favorable and does not influence the exciton binding energy in NAs. The nonlinear coefficient also significantly improves at the two most important 810 and 1560 nm wavelengths compared to the cases offered by the monolayer transitional metal dichalcogenides. Our analysis is based on a fully $ab$-$initio$ G$_0$W$_0$+Bethe-Salpeter excited state theory. The temperature-dependent linear absorption spectra are evaluated by including the electron-phonon self-energies, whereas the nonlinear spectra are treated using the modern theory of polarization within the same perturbative approach.

description: Oral mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their secretomes are considered important factors in the field of medical tissue engineering and cell free biotherapy due to their ease of access, differentiation potential, and successful therapeutic outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and the conditioned medium (CM) from MSCs are gaining more attraction as an alternative to cell-based therapies due to the less ethical issues involved, and their easier acquisition, preservation, long term storage, sterilization, and packaging. Bone and periodontal regenerative ability of EVs and CM have been the focus of some recent studies. In this review, we looked through currently available literature regarding MSCs’ EVs or conditioned medium and their general characteristics, function, and regenerative potentials. We will also review the novel applications in regenerating bone and periodontal defects.

Bulge formation through clump migration and compaction at high-z in the VELA simulations
Creators: name: Ceverino, Daniel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Galaxy compaction and the migration of giant clumps formed through violent disc instabilities is one of the scenarios of bulge formation at high-z. However, the efficiency of these processes depends on the strength of stellar feedback. Models of explosive feedback lead to clumps with short lifetimes (~20 Myr), much shorter than the disc dynamical time. If feedback is weaker, the clumps survive for many orbital times. In this talk, I will describe new cosmological simulations of galaxy formation from the VELA suite that include novel models of feedback. New results show an intermediate scenario, in which gas-rich clumps live for a few disc dynamical times and migrate to the galaxy center, contributing to the net inflow of gas towards the galaxy center. Therefore, wet compaction is actually enhanced in models with strong feedback.

description: Despite the wealth of data from our own Galaxy, the origin of its different components – the thin and thick disks, the bulge and bar – remain elusive. Milky Way Analogues offer a unique insight into how our own Milky Way might have formed and bridge the gap between the detailed measurements in our own Galaxy and the predictions from (zoom-in) cosmological simulations. In this talk, I will present new results from a sample of Milky Way Analogue galaxies observed with MUSE. The sample contains galaxies that have a diverse range of central structures, e.g. with and without bars or dispersion dominated bulges. Using a chemo-dynamical analysis of the MUSE data we identify the potential origin of the different components and explore different formation scenarios that can lead to the diverse range in central structures. I will discuss how the finding in these external galaxies may act as a significant constraint on the formation of the Milky Way’s own central and disk components.

description: Background: The goal of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is to provide optimal care for preterm and sick infants while supporting their growth and development. The NICU environment can be stressful for preterm infants and often cannot adequately support their neurodevelopmental needs. Kangaroo Care (KC) is an evidence-based developmental care strategy that has been shown to be associated with improved short and long term neurodevelopmental outcomes for preterm infants. Despite evidence for best practice, uptake of the practice of KC in resource supported settings remains low. The aim of this study was to identify and describe healthcare providers’ perspectives on the barriers and enablers of implementing KC. Methods: This qualitative study was set in 11 NICUs in British Columbia, Canada, ranging in size from 6 to 70 beds, with mixed levels of care from the less acute up to the most complex acute neonatal care. A total of 35 semi-structured healthcare provider interviews were conducted to understand their experiences providing KC in the NICU. Data were coded and emerging themes were identified. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) guided our research methods. Results: Four overarching themes were identified as barriers and enablers to KC by healthcare providers in their particular setting: 1) the NICU physical environment; 2) healthcare provider beliefs about KC; 3) clinical practice variation; and 4) parent presence. Depending on the specific features of a given site these factors functioned as an enabler or barrier to practicing KC. Conclusions: A ‘one size fits all’ approach cannot be identified to guide Kangaroo Care implementation as it is a complex intervention and each NICU presents unique barriers and enablers to its uptake. Support for improving parental presence, shifting healthcare provider beliefs, identifying creative solutions to NICU design and space constraints, and the development of a provincial guideline for KC in NICUs may together provide the impetus to change practice and reduce barriers to KC for healthcare providers, families, and administrators at local and system levels.

description: During the last two decades, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars for concrete structure has been extensively investigated and a number of FRP bars are commercially available. However, major shortcomings of the existing FRP bars are its high initial cost and low elastic modulus compared to conventional steel bars. The main objective of this study using the concept of material hybridization is to develop a viable hybrid FRP bar for concrete structures, especially for marine and waterfront concrete structures. The purposes of hybridization are to increase the elastic modulus of GFRP bar which have function of protecting corrosion and to reduce the initial cost of the FRP bar. Two types of hybrid FRP bar were considered in the development: GFRP crust with steel core and GFRP bar with steel wires dispersed over the cross-section. Using E-glass fibers and unsaturated polyester resins, the hybrid GFRP bar samples of 13 mm in diameter were pultruded and tested for tensile strength. The effect of hybridization on tensile properties of FRP bars were obtained by comparing the results of tensile test with those of non-hybrid GFRP bars. The results of this study indicated that the elastic modulus of the hybrid FRP bar was increased by up to 160 percent compare to non-hybrid GFRP bars. The results of the test program and the future recommendations are summarized in this paper.

description: Machine learning algorithms have shown potential to improve prefetching performance by accurately predicting future memory accesses. Existing approaches are based on the modeling of text prediction, considering prefetching as a classification problem for sequence prediction. However, the vast and sparse memory address space leads to large vocabulary, which makes this modeling impractical. The number and order of outputs for multiple cache line prefetching are also fundamentally different from text prediction. We propose TransFetch, a novel way to model prefetching. To reduce vocabulary size, we use fine-grained address segmentation as input. To predict unordered sets of future addresses, we use delta bitmaps for multiple outputs. We apply an attention-based network to learn the mapping between input and output. Prediction experiments demonstrate that address segmentation achieves 26% - 36% higher F1-score than delta inputs and 15% - 24% higher F1-score than page & offset inputs for SPEC 2006, SPEC 2017, and GAP benchmarks. Simulation results show that TransFetch achieves 38.75% IPC improvement compared with no prefetching, outperforming the best-performing rule-based prefetcher BOP by 10.44%, and ML-based prefetcher Voyager by 6.64%.

description: Hardware accelerators for convolution neural networks (CNNs) enable real-time applications of artificial intelligence technology. However, most of the existing designs suffer from low hardware utilization or high area cost due to complex dataflow. This paper proposes a hardware efficient vectorwise CNN accelerator that adopts a 3$\times$3 filter optimized systolic array using 1-D broadcast dataflow to generate partial sum. This enables easy reconfiguration for different kinds of kernels with interleaved input or elementwise input dataflow. This simple and regular data flow results in low area cost while attains high hardware utilization. The presented design achieves 99\%, 97\%, 93.7\%, 94\% hardware utilization for VGG-16, ResNet-34, GoogLeNet, and Mobilenet, respectively. Hardware implementation with TSMC 40nm technology takes 266.9K NAND gate count and 191KB SRAM to support 168GOPS throughput and consumes only 154.98mW when running at 500MHz operating frequency, which has superior area and power efficiency than other designs.

description: Hardware accelerator for convolution neural network (CNNs) enables real time applications of artificial intelligence technology. However, most of the accelerators only support dense CNN computations or suffers complex control to support fine grained sparse networks. To solve above problem, this paper presents an efficient CNN accelerator with 1-D vector broadcasted input to support both dense network as well as vector sparse network with the same hardware and low overhead. The presented design achieves 1.93X speedup over the dense CNN computations.

description: Im Jahr 2010 gab es in Deutschland knapp zwei Millionen Umweltschutzbeschäftigte. Mit einem Anteil von 4,8% an allen Erwerbstätigen ist der Umweltschutz damit ein wichtiger Faktor für den gesamten Arbeitsmarkt. Gegenüber dem Jahr 2008 nahm die Umweltschutzbeschäftigung um 18.000 Personen zu. Dieser Anstieg ist nahezu ausschließlich auf die zunehmende Auslandsnachfrage und den Beschäftigungszuwachs bei den erneuerbaren Energien zurückzuführen. Zwischen 2008 und 2010 stieg die Beschäftigung im Bereich der erneuerbaren Energien um 45.000 Personen, was ein Wachstum von 14% in diesem Sektor bedeutet. Einen leichten Beschäftigungsrückgang gab es dagegen im Bereich der umweltorientierten Dienstleistungen.

description: Over a dozen millisecond pulsars are ablating low-mass companions in close binary systems. In the original "black widow", the 8-hour orbital period eclipsing pulsar PSR J1959+2048 (PSR B1957+20), high energy emission originating from the pulsar is irradiating and may eventually destroy a low-mass companion. These systems are not only physical laboratories that reveal the dramatic result of exposing a close companion star to the relativistic energy output of a pulsar, but are also believed to harbour some of the most massive neutron stars, allowing for robust tests of the neutron star equation of state. Here, we report observations of ZTF J1406+1222, a wide hierarchical triple hosting a 62-minute orbital period black widow candidate whose optical flux varies by a factor of more than 10. ZTF J1406+1222 pushes the boundaries of evolutionary models, falling below the 80 minute minimum orbital period of hydrogen-rich systems. The wide tertiary companion is a rare low metallicity cool subdwarf star, and the system has a Galactic halo orbit consistent with passing near the Galactic center, making it a probe of formation channels, neutron star kick physics, and binary evolution.
