description: Additional file 1. Wild boar samples (n = 101) tested by FAVN test and ELISA. Of the 57 ELISA-positive samples tested by the FAVN test, a cytotoxic effect was identified on 11 samples (marked with * in the table). Although cytotoxicity was seen, the results for the 11 samples were 100% correlated between FAVN test and ELISA. As concern the 44 ELISA-negative samples tested by the FAVN test, a cytotoxic effect was identified on 20 samples (marked with * in the table). For 13 out of these 20 samples, the results from both the FAVN test and ELISA were correlated, while for the remaining 7 samples, the results were different.

description: A recent approach to arrival times used the fluorescence of an atom entering a laser illuminated region and the resulting arrival-time distribution was close to the axiomatic distribution of Kijowski, but not exactly equal, neither in limiting cases nor after compensation of reflection losses by normalization on the level of expectation values. In this paper we employ a normalization on the level of operators, recently proposed in a slightly different context. We show that in this case the axiomatic arrival time distribution of Kijowski is recovered as a limiting case. In addition, it is shown that Allcock's complex potential model is also a limit of the physically motivated fluorescence approach and connected to Kijowski's distribution through operator normalization.

description: Ultrafast, femtosecond laser pulse interaction with dielectric materials has shown them to have significantly higher laser fluence threshold requirements, as compared to metals and semiconductors, for laser material modification, such as laser ablation. Examples of dielectrics are crystalline materials such as quartz and sapphire, and amorphous glasses. The interaction between femtosecond laser pulses, at a wavelength with negligible linear absorption, and a dielectric has been found to be weak, and multiple pulse irradiation is therefore typically used in order to see significant and quantifiable effects. In this study the dielectric is the crystalline, layered, natural mineral muscovite, a mica with formula KAl_2 (Si_3 Al) O_10 (OH)_2. Muscovite, newly cleaved, is used in a wide range of technological and scientific applications including as an insulating material in electronics and as an ultra-flat and ultra-clean substrate. A single, ~800 nm wavelength, ~6 micron spotsize, ~150 fs laser pulse is found to lead to a systematic range of laser modification topologies, as a function of the fluence of the single laser pulse, including bulk removal of material. The fs laser pulse/material interaction is greater than expected for a standard dielectric at a given fluence. Optical surface profiling and FESEM are used to characterise the topologies. Contrasting the results of the two techniques supports the use of optical surface profiling to characterise the material modification despite its limitations in lateral resolution as compared to FESEM. The interlayer mineral water content of natural muscovite is proposed as the primary reason that mica behaves differently to a standard dielectric when irradiated with a single 800 nm fs laser pulse.

description: (Abridged) We report on observations of the optical and NIR afterglow of GRB020405. Ground-based optical observations started about 1 day after the GRB and spanned a period of ~10 days; archival HST data extended the coverage up to 70 days after the GRB. We report the first detection of the afterglow in NIR bands. The detection of emission lines in the optical spectrum indicates that the GRB is located at z = 0.691. Absorptions are also detected at z = 0.691 and at z = 0.472. The latter system is likely caused by clouds in a galaxy located 2 arcsec southwest of the GRB host. Hence, for the first time, the galaxy responsible for an intervening absorption system in the spectrum of a GRB afterglow is identified. Optical and NIR photometry indicates that the decay in all bands follows a single power law of index alpha = 1.54. The late-epoch VLT and HST points lie above the extrapolation of this power law, so that a plateau is apparent in the VRIJ light curves at 10-20 days after the GRB. The light curves at epochs later than day ~20 after the GRB are consistent with a power-law decay with index alphaprime = 1.85. We suggest that this deviation can be modeled with a SN having the same temporal profile as SN2002ap, but 1.3 mag brighter at peak, and located at the GRB redshift. Alternatively, a shock re-energization may be responsible for the rebrightening. A polarimetric R-band measurement shows that the afterglow is polarized, with P = 1.5 % and theta = 172 degrees. Optical-NIR spectral flux distributions show a change of slope across the J band which we interpret as due to the presence of nu_c. The analysis of the multiwavelength spectrum within the fireball model suggests that a population of relativistic electrons produces the optical-NIR emission via synchrotron in an adiabatically expanding blastwave, and the X-rays via IC.

An Educational Intervention to Alleviate the Effects of Burden of Chronic Illness Care: Presentation of a Caregiver Toolkit to Increase Awareness Among Primary Care Providers and Family Caregivers
Creators: name: Fuller, Ashley
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: The risk for burden among caregivers who provide care to elders with chronic illnesses is significant due to the negative effects on a caregiver as evidenced by psychological distress, depression, anxiety, social isolation, poor quality of life, and ineffective coping. Identifying caregivers who experience this burden is crucial to be able provide them with the opportunity to participate in community programs that focus on caregiver health. Purpose: The purpose of the integrative review DNP project was to highlight the importance of a psychoeducational and psychosocial training program, Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC), to increase awareness among Primary Care providers and caregivers. The PTC program demonstrated a positive effect in physical, psychological, and social well-being and helped caregivers’ to cope and communicate more effectively in the caregiving role. Toolkit: Creating a Caregiver Toolkit that consisted of information pertaining to the PTC program and community resources educated Primary Care providers and can assist them in identifying burden and service referral. The toolkit can also help caregivers to create community ties with both professional and nonprofessional services and support. Clinical Implications: Use of a Caregiver Toolkit in Primary Care helped to increase the knowledge among providers and family caregivers and focused on the use of community resources, support over the caregiving trajectory, and effective communication between caregivers and providers. Awareness of the PTC program among providers and caregivers positively correlated with a decrease in this burden, improved health status, and functioning, which lead to enhanced coping, problem solving, and communication.

description: Variations in individual fann characteristics and behavior of farm operators are taken into account in a procedure for estimating production potentials of agricultural areas. The procedure combines sampling and programming techniques. It differs from the purely synthetic approach, or the representative firm approach, in that the programmed or budgeted results are adjusted for changes in individual farm situations on the basis of the socioeconomic characteristics of individual farmers and their resource base. Aggregate output is shown by a case study to be influenced by variables other than those normally included in budgeted linear progranlming models.
High-transition-temperature superconductivity in the absence of the magnetic-resonance mode

description: The fundamental mechanism that gives rise to high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) superconductivity in the copper oxide materials has been debated since the discovery of the phenomenon. Recent work has focussed on a sharp 'kink' in the kinetic energy spectra of the electrons as a possible signature of the force that creates the superconducting state. The kink has been related to a magnetic resonance and also to phonons. Here we report that infrared spectra of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+d), (Bi-2212) show that this sharp feature can be separated from a broad background and, interestingly, weakens with doping before disappearing completely at a critical doping level of 0.23 holes per copper atom. Superconductivity is still strong in terms of the transition temperature (Tc approx 55 K), so our results rule out both the magnetic resonance peak and phonons as the principal cause of high-Tc superconductivity. The broad background, on the other hand, is a universal property of the copper oxygen plane and a good candidate for the 'glue' that binds the electrons.

description: This study investigates the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) on motherhood activities and paid employment using four occupational groups in the Enugu Urban Area, Enugu State, Nigeria namely; teachers, nurses, bankers and police personnel. The multistage sampling techniques were adopted and 995 respondents (aged 18-60 years) were selected using the questionnaire instrument. Qualitative data were generated by focus group discussion (FGD) with 31 participants (aged 18-60 years) not issued with the questionnaire. The quantitative data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 and the results are presented in frequency distribution tables, percentages and cross tabulation. The hypotheses were tested using chi-square (x2) statistical inference. The qualitative data were analyzed in themes and verbatim quotes used to complement the results of the quantitative data. The findings revealed that among those more engaged, 28.7% of them were of low rank while 71.3% of them were of high rank (x2 =1.1198, df = 1, p = .274). Also, the results showed that for those less engaged in motherhood and family activities, 46.7% earned ₦800,000 per annum and below while 53.3% earned above ₦800,000 per annum. On the other hand, among those more engaged in motherhood and family activities, 52.3% earned ₦800,000 per annum and below while 47.7% earned above ₦800,000 per annum (x2 =2.601, df = 1, p = .107). The study therefore recommended among others; the need for a policy that will consider working mothers, especially in banking and police occupations. It is also recommended that policy makers and development partners should involve working mothers in developing policies that will help them cope with work and family life
The Impact of Spinal Manipulation Therapy (SMT) for Nonspecific Low Back Pain in the Military Population: An Integrative Review with Presentation of the SMT Toolkit to Primary Care Providers
Creators: name: Ress, Kelsey
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Nonspecific Low Back Pain (NLBP) continues to be a frequent cause for medical care and creates significant direct and indirect costs for the patient and healthcare system. Military members are a unique patient population that is at increased risk for experiencing NLBP. Evidence supports spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for the treatment of NLBP and clinical practice guidelines (CPG) recommend the use of SMT in the treatment of NLBP. Purpose: The purpose of this integrative review was to determine if SMT is an effective intervention for the military population experiencing NLBP. Presentation and Toolkit: An educational presentation and SMT Toolkit were created, formally presented, and distributed to providers that treat and manage active duty military. The SMT Toolkit is a comprehensive yet consolidated practice guide that includes current evidence, the CPG, local SMT referral options and criteria, provider resources, and patient education information. The DNP student created the SMT algorithm and patient education handout, which are embedded within the toolkit. Outcomes/Discussion: Based on the project’s outcomes, ultimately the integrative review with educational presentation, and SMT Toolkit succeeded in increasing providers’ knowledge and awareness and influenced their practice behaviors. Conclusion: The need to determine the most beneficial, conservative, and cost effective treatment options for NLBP like SMT is more important than ever. Users would benefit from using this DNP project, either through utilization in patient care, replication, or expanding further in a similiar quality improvement project. Future investigators should consider factors that improve utilization and sustainment of practice toolkits.

Poor health outcomes among South Carolinians, indicated by an overall U.S. health ranking of 42 (America's Health Rankings, 2016) may be the result of an underdeveloped public health workforce. This can be mediated through a thorough assessment of the public health workforce followed by the implementation of a workforce development plan. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to assess the competency level of the South Carolina public health workforce and to develop, implement, and evaluate a workforce development plan to address the weaknesses identified through the assessment process. The Competency Assessment for Public Health Professionals developed by the Council on Linkages between Academia and Public Health Practice was used to assess the competency level of the six Midlands Region Program Managers within the eight domains of the instrument: 1) Analytical/Assessment, 2) Policy Development/Program Planning, 3) Communication, 4) Cultural Competency, 5) Community Dimensions of Practice, 6) Public Health Sciences, 7) Financial Planning and Management, and 8) Leadership and Systems Thinking. Training was developed based on the composite assessment scores for all program managers and was prioritized by the areas with the lowest scores. Pre and post test and focus group findings were used to measure the effectiveness of specific training focused on the Public Health Sciences domain of the Core Competency Assessment tool.

description: Tailoring of individual single-atom-thick layers in nanolaminated materials offers atomic-level control over material properties. Nonetheless, multielement alloying in individual atomic layers in nanolaminates is largely unexplored. Here, we report a series of inherently nanolaminated V2(A'xSn1-x)C (A'=Fe, Co, Ni and Mn, and combinations thereof, with x=1/3) synthesized by an alloy-guided reaction. The simultaneous occupancy of the four magnetic elements and Sn, the individual single-atom-thick A layers in the compound constitute high-entropy-alloy analogues, two-dimensional in the sense that the alloying exclusively occurs in the A layers. V2(A'xSn1-x)C exhibit distinct ferromagnetic behavior that can be compositionally tailored from the multielement A-layer alloying. This two-dimensional alloying provides a structural-design route with expanded chemical space for discovering materials and exploit properties.
Hypertension: Enhancing Lifestyle Management Through Patient Education and Pender’s Health Promotion Model
Creators: name: Holcomb, Katherine
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Uncontrolled hypertension is a significant problem in the United States with 46% of hypertensive adults not achieving adequate blood pressure control. Inadequately treated HTN results in increased risk of renal disease, cardiovascular disease, and associated mortality. Interventions aimed at improving blood pressure control have targeted providers, patients, or a combination of providers and patients. Methods: The objective of this project was to enhance lifestyle management of patients with uncontrolled hypertension as measured by patient self-report in post-discharge interviews. The intervention incorporated education for patients on lifestyle management recommendations for hypertension as well as health promotion strategies inspired by Nola Pender’s Health Promotion Model. Patients chose a goal behavior and collaborated with this DNP student to identify facilitating factors and barriers to achieve these goals utilizing a health promotion worksheet. This intervention also targeted planning strategies by providers and facilitated the development of patient-specific care plans. This DNP project was conducted on two inpatient medical/surgical units outside of Boston, MA. Results: This intervention was completed with a convenience sample of 20 patients. Outcomes, as measured by patient self-report using a Likert scale, revealed that 11 patients always completed the goal behavior (55%), 4 patients sometimes completed the goal behavior (20%) and 3 patients reported never achieving their goal behavior (15%); the outcomes of 2 patients were unknown (10%). Discussion: Although there are several limitations to be considered this intervention shows promise in enhancing lifestyle management of patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
Evaluating Health-Related Quality of Life for People with Multiple Sclerosis: A Quality Improvement Project to Promote Peer Support
Creators: name: Caron, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that impacts the central nervous system, resulting in symptoms of fatigue, numbness, tingling, weakness, dizziness, pain, spasticity, gait disturbance, and depression. How individuals cope with MS may shape adjustment, impacting health outcomes both physically and psychologically. The difficulties that MS may present can result in patients experiencing depression and decreased quality of life. Peer support has been shown to help reduce problematic health behaviors and depression, and to improve medication behavior adherence. While peer support is known to be beneficial in many types of chronic illness, it is unclear whether peer support is beneficial for people with MS. Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to execute peer support interventions to evaluate how peer support may impact health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people living with MS. Methods: Peer support groups were held once a week for six weeks for participants who are living with MS. Participants completed questionnaires before the first peer support group, and then at 3, 6, and 9-weeks, using quality of life as an outcome measure to evaluate the effectiveness of this peer support program. Results: Health-related quality of life was not consistent in participants during the peer support sessions. Conclusion: People with MS have symptoms and circumstances that vary on a daily basis, and this can impact their health-related quality of life.

description: We use the natural lifts of the fundamental tensor field g to the cotangent bundle T*M of a Riemannian manifold (M,g), in order to construct an almost Hermitian structure (G,J) of diagonal type on T*M. The obtained almost complex structure J on T*M is integrable if and only if the base manifold has constant sectional curvature and the second coefficient, involved in its definition is expressed as a rational function of the first coefficient and its first order derivative. Next one shows that the obtained almost Hermitian structure is almost Kaehlerian. Combining the obtained results we get a family of Kaehlerian structures on T*M, depending on one essential parameter. Next we study the conditions under which the considered Kaehlerian structure is Einstein. In this case (T*M,G,J) has constant holomorphic curvature.

description: We study precision electroweak constraints on the close cousin of the Littlest Higgs, the SU(6)/Sp(6) model. We identify a near-oblique limit in which the heavy W' and B' decouple from the light fermions, and then calculate oblique corrections, including one-loop contributions from the extended top sector and the two Higgs doublets. We find regions of parameter space that give acceptably small precision electroweak corrections and only mild fine tuning in the Higgs potential, and also find that the mass of the lightest Higgs boson is relatively unconstrained by precision electroweak data. The fermions from the extended top sector can be as light as 1 TeV, and the W' can be as light as 1.8 TeV. We include an independent breaking scale for the B', which can still have a mass as low as a few hundred GeV.

Os dados foram coletados a campo, com a metodologia de painel. As regiões analisadas foram: Rondonópolis (algodão e soja), Lucas do Rio Verde (algodão), Sorriso (soja) e Campo Novo do Parecis (algodão e soja). Como corolário, as duas culturas apresentaram margens negativas em todas as regiões pesquisadas. Entretanto, a margem negativa da cultura da soja foi menor, comparativamente ao algodão, apontando para sua competitividade, além do menor risco de produção. No caso de CNP e Norte de Mato Grosso (LRV e SOR), o algodão gerou um prejuízo três vezes mais que a soja. Em RNP, a perda por hectare foi 5,7 vezes mais no algodão em relação à soja. As regiões de CNP e SOR apontaram maior competitividade em relação à RNP. Em termos gerais, os custos variáveis são os maiores gargalos em ambas as culturas, justificada pela maior utilização de fertilizantes e defensivos químicos

The formula is based on the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin (LKF) transformation between the massless propagators of charged particles interacting with gauge fields, in two different gauges.

description: During the transition from a neutral to a fully reionized universe, scattering of cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons via free-electrons leads to a new anisotropy contribution to the temperature distribution. If the reionization process is inhomogeneous and patchy, the era of reionization is also visible via brightness temperature fluctuations in the redshifted 21 cm line emission from neutral Hydrogen. Since regions containing electrons and neutral Hydrogen are expected to trace the same underlying density field, the two are (anti) correlated and this is expected to be reflected in the anisotropy maps via a correlation between arcminute-scale CMB temperature and the 21 cm background. In terms of the angular cross-power spectrum, unfortunately, this correlation is insignificant due to a geometric cancellation associated with second order CMB anisotropies. The same cross-correlation between ionized and neutral regions, however, can be studied using a bispectrum involving large scale velocity field of ionized regions from the Doppler effect, arcminute scale CMB anisotropies during reionization, and the 21 cm background. While the geometric cancellation is partly avoided, the signal-to-noise ratio related to this bispectrum is reduced due to the large cosmic variance related to velocity fluctuations traced by the Doppler effect. Unless the velocity field during reionization can be independently established, it is unlikely that the correlation information related to the relative distribution of ionized electrons and regions containing neutral Hydrogen can be obtained with a combined study involving CMB and 21 cm fluctuations.

description: Hybrid Dirac fields are fields that are general superpositions of the annihilation and creation parts of four Dirac spin 1/2 fields, $ψ^{(\pm)}(x;\pm m)$, whose annihilation and creation parts obey the Dirac equation with mass $m$ and mass $-m$. We discuss a specific case of such fields, which has been called ``homeotic.'' We show for this case, as is true in general for hybrid Dirac fields (except the ordinary fields whose annihilation and creation parts both obey one or the other Dirac equation), that (1) any interacting theory violates both Lorentz covariance and causality, (2) the discrete transformations $\mathcal{C}$, and $\mathcal{CPT}$ map the pair $ψ_h(x)$ and $\barψ_h(x)$ into fields that are not linear combinations of this pair, and (3) the chiral projections of $ψ_h(x)$ are sums of the usual Dirac fields with masses $m$ and $-m$; on these chiral projections $\mathcal{C}$, and $\mathcal{CPT}$ are defined in the usual way, their interactions do not violate $\mathcal{CPT}$, and interactions of chiral projections are Lorentz covariant and causal. In short, the main claims concerning ``homeotic'' fields are incorrect.

description: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a criação de clusters de comportamento de ativos relacionados à agroindústria (derivativos agropecuários e ações BOVESPA) baseados na análise de componentes principais; utilizando este resultado como ferramental de tomada de decisão na construção de carteiras de investimento. Isso, baseado no princípio que a redução da volatilidade da carteira via diversificação depende da baixa covariância entre eles, ou seja, que os ativos pertençam a diferentes clusters.

description: O presente trabalho apresenta uma reflexão acerca das representações que sustentam os critérios demarcatórios de cidade e campo utilizados pelas instituições de assistência técnica e extensão rural. Deter-nos-emos, especificamente, em analisar as representações de urbano e rural utilizadas pelo Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Rural (SENAR), e as conseqüências do mesmo para as práticas de capacitação junto ao público por ele selecionado. O que desejamos problematizar na prática do SENAR, mas deixando claro que isto não está restrito à atuação do mesmo, é como seu pressuposto de demarcação espacial do rural e do urbano se baseia em critérios do senso comum, marcados por uma concepção ideologizada hierarquizante da relação campo/cidade, que em nada corresponde à dinamicidade das relações sociais e econômicas do embricamento rurbano. Defendemos, que a delimitação que o SENAR e outras instituições de assistência técnica e extensão rural utilizam para selecionar o “público rural” para seus cursos e atividades extensionistas impede que muitas pessoas que vivem em uma “cidade rural”2 sejam "capacitadas" e possam dinamizar o tecido social local, com iniciativas de geraçãode renda e retenção do capital econômico em nível local. Chamamos a atenção neste artigo, também, para a forma como a própria concepção dos conteúdos dos cursos promovidos pelo SENAR acaba por ser afetada por este binarismo socioespacial. Neste sentido, privilegiamos a análise das conseqüências desta concepção binária e antagônica de rural nas diretrizes estabelecidas pelo SENAR para a seleção dos participantes para os seus cursos, lançando como questionamento a suposta adequação dos conteúdos propostos para os cursos, face às necessidades dos habitantes de uma cidade rural. Segundo a nossa perspectiva, a consideração acerca do que o SENAR considera como rural afetaria, inclusive, a noção de trabalho rural, que não pode ser compreendida somente considerando as atividades rurais como correspondendo à atividade agrícola, o que justifica a necessidade de se buscar novas teorias e visões acerca do rural e da ruralidade.

description: The lightcurve of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) variable star MACHO 81.8997.87 shows evidence for photometric variations due to both stellar pulsation, with a 2.035 day period, and eclipsing behavior, with an 800.4 day period. The primary star of the system has been identified as a first-overtone Cepheid but the nature of the secondary star has not been determined. Here we present multicolor BVI photometry of a primary eclipse of the system and fit a model to the complete lightcurve to produce an updated set of elements. These results are combined with 2MASS JHK photometry to give further insight into the identity of the companion star. We find that the companion is most consistent with a late-K or an early-M giant but also that there are a number of problems with this interpretation. The prospects for future observations of this system are also discussed.

description: In this letter we analyze the relative scales for the GUT and twin sectors in the F-theory model discussed in Ref. \cite{Clemens-3}. There are a number of volume moduli in the model. The volume of the GUT surface in the visible sector {[}sector(1){]} (with the Wilson line GUT breaking) defines the GUT scale $M_{GUT}\sim2\times10^{16}~GeV$ as the unification scale with precise gauge coupling unification of $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)_{Y}$. We choose $α_{GUT}^{-1}\sim24$. We are then free to choose the ratio $α_{G}(2)/α_{G}(1)=m_{1}/m_{2}$ with $m(1)$ and $m(2)$ independent volume moduli associated with the directions perpendicular to the two GUT surfaces. We then analyze the effective field theory of the twin sector(2), which may lead to a SUSY breaking gaugino condensate. Of course, all these results are subject to the self-consistent stabilization of the moduli.
