description: The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected healthcare workers to enormous stress. Measuring the impact of this public health emergency is essential to developing strategies that can effectively promote resilience and wellness. The Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory Supplemental Healthcare Module-Brief Version (EPII-SHMb) was developed to measure impacts among occupational cohorts serving on the front lines of healthcare. While this instrument has been utilized in COVID-19 related studies, little is known about its psychometric properties. This study collects evidence for validity of the EPII-SHMb by evaluating its internal structure and how its scores associate with other variables. Physicians and nursing staff across a large New York health system were cross-sectionally surveyed using an online questionnaire between June and November 2020. Exploratory factor analysis resulted in a 3-factor solution, identifying factors Lack of Workplace Safety (7 items), Death/Dying of Patients (3 items), and Lack of Outside Support (2 items). Internal consistency was high overall and within physician/nursing and gender subgroups (Cronbach’s alpha: 0.70 − 0.81). Median scores on Death/Dying of Patients were higher among those who directly cared for COVID-19 patients or worked in COVID-19 hospital units. These results are promising. Additional studies evaluating other dimensions of validity are necessary.

description: The present study reports the first occurrence of an alien spionid polychete worm, Pseudopolydora
 paucibranchiata Okuda 1937, in the Mediterranean Sea. This species, which was previously identified as P. antennata
 Claparède, 1870, formed a dense population in and near Alsancak Harbor (Izmir Bay, Aegean Sea), especially in June 2004.
 It was also found at some stations in Iskenderun and Mersin Bays in September 2005 (Levantine Sea). The maximum
 density and biomass (wet weight: ww) of P. paucibranchiata in Izmir Bay were 6180 ind.m-2 and 4.77 g wwt.m-2, respec-
 tively. The seasonal fluctuations of density and biomass of the species were studied in Izmir Bay, indicating that its density
 and biomass values increased in spring and summer, and drastically diminished in fall and winter. This species is able to
 reproduce in the area both in winter, spring and summer. Its establishment in the area is most probably transport by ballast
 water. The morphological, ecological and distributional characteristics of the species as well as its impact on the prevailing
 ecosystem are analyzed and discussed.
Factors Influencing Ball-Player Impact Probability in Youth Baseball

description: Altering the weight of baseballs for youth play has been studied out of concern for player safety. Research has shown that decreasing the weight of baseballs may limit the severity of both chronic arm and collision injuries. Unfortunately, reducing the weight of the ball also increases its exit velocity, leaving pitchers and nonpitchers with less time to defend themselves. The purpose of this study was to examine impact probability for pitchers and nonpitchers.
Distribution and habitat of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis Linnaeus, 1758 (Mollusca: Bivalvia) along the northern and eastern Tunisian coasts

description: Although the bivalve Pinna nobilis Linnaeus, 1758 has been recorded in previous studies in the Tunisian inshore
 areas, the status of this endangered species is still poorly known and there is a knowledge-gap about its distribution and
 ecology. The present work is a contribution to the knowledge of the fan shell distribution and the density of individuals
 along the northern and eastern Tunisian coasts, at depths situated between 0 and 6 metres. An important part of Tunisian
 coast was surveyed, stressing some observations concerning the species ecology and its preferred biotopes. The size
 structure of the five densest populations was also described. The fan shell density varied among these localities from 0.02
 individuals 100 m-2 in Tabarka Elcorniche beach (northern coast) to 20 individuals 100 m-2 in the locality of Stah Jaber
 (eastern coast). It seems that P. nobilis prefers to be located within sheltered habitats with optimal hydrodynamic conditions,
 in particular low current velocities and turbulences, low wave action and in sandy-muddy or muddy substratum. Regarding
 the size structure analysis, it appeared that the majority of the five examined populations, except for Teboulba, was
 dominated by small individuals that do not exceed a maximum shell length of 40 cm. It also seems that the sheltered and
 shallow sites constitute appropriate recruitment areas for juveniles of P. nobilis.
Is the Higgs Boson Composed of Neutrinos?

description: We show that conventional Higgs compositeness conditions can be achieved by the running of large Higgs-Yukawa couplings involving right-handed neutrinos that become active at $\sim 10^{13}- 10^{14}$ GeV. Together with a somewhat enhanced quartic coupling, arising by a Higgs portal interaction to a dark matter sector, we can obtain a Higgs boson composed of neutrinos. This is a "next-to-minimal" dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking scheme.

Event detection, tracking, and visualization in Twitter: a mention-anomaly-based approach

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Social and Information Networks (cs.SI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The ever-growing number of people using Twitter makes it a valuable source of timely information. However, detecting events in Twitter is a difficult task, because tweets that report interesting events are overwhelmed by a large volume of tweets on unrelated topics. Existing methods focus on the textual content of tweets and ignore the social aspect of Twitter. In this paper we propose MABED (i.e. mention-anomaly-based event detection), a novel statistical method that relies solely on tweets and leverages the creation frequency of dynamic links (i.e. mentions) that users insert in tweets to detect significant events and estimate the magnitude of their impact over the crowd. MABED also differs from the literature in that it dynamically estimates the period of time during which each event is discussed, rather than assuming a predefined fixed duration for all events. The experiments we conducted on both English and French Twitter data show that the mention-anomaly-based approach leads to more accurate event detection and improved robustness in presence of noisy Twitter content. Qualitatively speaking, we find that MABED helps with the interpretation of detected events by providing clear textual descriptions and precise temporal descriptions. We also show how MABED can help understanding users' interest. Furthermore, we describe three visualizations designed to favor an efficient exploration of the detected events.

description: Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the world and is quickly diversifying. In the Northwest Atlantic, interest in sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) (hereafter scallop) aquaculture has grown substantially. However, technical and economic challenges have hindered industry growth. We conducted bioeconomic simulations for various sized farms that targeted either live “whole” scallops or the shucked adductor muscle “meat.” The majority of farms selling whole scallops were profitable. However, all farms selling meats generated negative returns. Labor made up the greatest portion of costs in model simulations and increased linearly with farm size, representing a significant bottleneck. Whole scallop farm value was most sensitive to changes in (1) market price and (2) time to market. Our analysis suggests four strategies to increase farmed scallop production in the Northwest Atlantic: (1) mechanize low density net culture, (2) optimize net stocking densities, (3) build site selection tools, and (4) invest in consumer education, end-markets, and biotoxin testing for whole scallops. The sector will require a combination of regulatory, industry, and research cooperation to overcome these pressing challenges, but holds the potential to profitably diversify the bivalve aquaculture industry.

The Hybrid Studio: Introducing Google+ as a Blended Learning Platform for Architectural Design Studio Teaching
Creators: name: Steinø, Nicolai
name: Khalid, Md. Saifuddin
Publisher: name: Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education
Year: 2017

description: Studio teaching in architecture and design traditionally bases on the presence of both instructors and material learning artefacts. Instructors typically give supervision to students one-on-one at their drawing tables. Students, in turn, work with a tangible material such as pens and tracing paper, and scale model material such as cardboard and styrofoam. From this triangle of students, instructors and learning artefacts, the learning emerges. As such, the physical presence of people and stuff is a fundamental premise of the traditional studio learning format. As the object of study in architecture and design is physical – the designed artefacts in the form of objects and buildings – a certain hesitation seems to reside in architecture and design education towards new mediated forms of learning. However, while completely mediated forms of learning such as MOOCs may not be a feasible replacement for the traditional architecture and design studio, forms of blended learning, combining physical and online learning has the potential to make the best of both worlds, enriching studio learning without losing its indisputable merits in architecture and design education. In this paper, the introduction of an online communication platform – Google+ – in a four months urban design studio course is evaluated and discussed concerning its capacity to facilitate a transforming blend. The online platform was used for general instructor/student communication, for student/student communication, as well as for sharing of student work in progress. It also worked as a one-on-one supervision platform for whenever students were in need of supervision and advice outside class hours. The implementation of Google+ into the studio course was experimental and ran alongside the use of official Moodle platform. The students evaluated the positive and negative aspects of both platforms. While they were mostly critical of Moodle, they valued the functionality of Google+ from several perspectives; they also made critical remarks. While the experiment was not entirely successful, it seems beyond doubt that transforming blends have a lot to offer in architecture and design studio teaching.

description: Ce travail de recherche a pour but d'analyser l'impact de la politique monétaire de la BCEAO sur la croissance économique et l'inflation au Mali. Pour cela, deux équations ont été utilisées, l'une pour expliquer l'inflation et l'autre pour expliquer la croissance économique en utilisant la méthode d’estimation ARDL. A l’aide des données trimestrielles provenant de la BCEAO couvrant la période 2010-2021, nous avons trouvé qu’à court terme, le taux de prise en pension à un effet négatif et significatif sur la croissance économique au Mali. Par contre à long terme, elle affecte positivement et significativement la croissance économique.

En outre le taux du marché monétaire influence positivement et significativement sur la croissance économique. Le taux de marché monétaire agit de façon négative et significative sur la croissance économique. Il ressort des estimations de l’équation de l’inflation que le taux de prise en pension et le taux de marché monétaire expliquent l’inflation qu’à long terme. Ainsi, à long terme, le taux de prise en pension affecte positivement et significativement l’inflation. Par contre le taux de marché monétaire n’affecte pas l’inflation.
How Quantum Are Non-Negative Wavefunctions?

description: We consider wavefunctions which are non-negative in some tensor product basis. We study what possible teleportation can occur in such wavefunctions, giving a complete answer in some cases (when one system is a qubit) and partial answers elsewhere. We use this to show that a one-dimensional wavefunction which is non-negative and has zero correlation length can be written in a "coherent Gibbs state" form, as explained later. We conjecture that such holds in higher dimensions. Additionally, some results are provided on possible teleportation in general wavefunctions, explaining how Schmidt coefficients before measurement limit the possible Schmidt coefficients after measurement, and on the absence of a "generalized area law"\cite{genarealaw} even for Hamiltonians with no sign problem. One of the motivations for this work is an attempt to prove a conjecture about ground state wavefunctions which have an "intrinsic" sign problem that cannot be removed by any quantum circuit. We show a weaker version of this, showing that the sign problem is intrinsic for commuting Hamiltonians in the same phase as the double semion model under the technical assumption that TQO-2 holds\cite{tqo2}.

description: According to the island rule, small-bodied vertebrates will tend to evolve larger body size on islands, whereas the opposite happens to large-bodied species. This controversial pattern has been studied at the macroecological and biogeographical scales, but new developments in quantitative evolutionary genetics now allow studying the island rule from a mechanistic perspective. Here, we develop a simulation approach based on an individual-based model to model body size change on islands as a progressive adaptation to a moving optimum, determined by density-dependent population dynamics. We applied the model to evaluate body size differentiation in the pigmy extinct hominin Homo floresiensis, showing that dwarfing may have occurred in only about 360 generations (95% CI ranging from 150 to 675 generations). This result agrees with reports suggesting rapid dwarfing of large mammals on islands, as well as with the recent discovery that small-sized hominins lived in Flores as early as 700 kyr ago. Our simulations illustrate the power of analysing ecological and evolutionary patterns from an explicit quantitative genetics perspective.

description: The feeding habits of the black anglerfish, Lophius budegassa Spinola, 1807 off the Tunisian coast, were
 investigated in relation to sex, size and seasons. Stomach contents of 416 specimens were collected on a monthly basis
 between November 2004 and January 2006. One hundred and twenty two stomachs were empty (29.32%), a proportion that
 significantly changed between males and females. The food composition suggests that the Tunisian black anglerfish is an
 active feeder. Seven zoological groups were identified in the stomach contents of L. budegassa: osteichthyans,
 chondrichthyans, cephalopods, bivalves, gastropods, crustaceans and echinoderms. Among the different zoological groups,
 osteichthyans were the most ingested (%IRI = 87.57). A total of 73 different prey species was recorded: Merluccius
 merluccius (%IRI = 21.51), Trachurus mediterraneus (%IRI = 18.62) and T. trachurus (%IRI = 17.34) being the most
 frequent prey species. The diet of L. budegassa changed qualitatively and quantitatively with special regard to size of
 specimens. Limited seasonal changes were observed in food spectrum. The trophic level (TROPH) of 4.47 calculated in the
 black anglerfish is high and indicates that the species is a top predator. The TROPH values ranged between 4.27 and 4.54,
 and increased asymptotically with size of specimens.

description: Multivariate meta-analysis is increasingly utilized in biomedical research to combine data of multiple comparative clinical studies for evaluating drug efficacy and safety profile. When the probability of the event of interest is rare or when the individual study sample sizes are small, a substantial proportion of studies may not have any event of interest. Conventional meta-analysis methods either exclude such studies or include them through ad-hoc continuality correction by adding an arbitrary positive value to each cell of the corresponding 2 by 2 tables, which may result in less accurate conclusions. Furthermore, different continuity corrections may result in inconsistent conclusions. In this article, we discuss a bivariate Beta-binomial model derived from Sarmanov family of bivariate distributions and a bivariate generalized linear mixed effects model for binary clustered data to make valid inferences. These bivariate random effects models use all available data without ad hoc continuity corrections, and accounts for the potential correlation between treatment (or exposure) and control groups within studies naturally. We then utilize the bivariate random effects models to reanalyze two recent meta-analysis data sets.

description: The stress fields of dislocations predicted by classical elasticity are known to be unrealistically large approaching the dislocation core, due to the singular nature of the theory. While in many cases this is remedied with the approximation of an effective core radius, inside which ad hoc regularizations are implemented, such approximations lead to a compromise in the accuracy of the calculations. In this work, an anisotropic non-singular elastic representation of dislocation fields is developed to accurately represent the near-core stresses of dislocations in $α$-iron. The regularized stress field is enabled through the use of a non-singular Green's tensor function of Helmholtz-type gradient anisotropic elasticity, which requires only a single characteristic length parameter in addition to the material's elastic constants. Using a novel magnetic bond-order potential to model atomic interactions in iron, molecular statics calculations are performed, and an optimization procedure is developed to extract the required length parameter. Results show the method can accurately replicate the magnitude and decay of the near-core dislocation stresses even for atoms belonging to the core itself. Comparisons with the singular isotropic and anisotropic theories show the non-singular anisotropic theory leads to a substantially more accurate representation of the stresses of both screw and edge dislocations near the core, in some cases showing improvements in accuracy of up to an order of magnitude. The spatial extent of the region in which the singular and non-singular stress differ substantially is also discussed. The general procedure we describe may in principle be applied to accurately model the near-core dislocation stresses of any arbitrarily shaped dislocation in anisotropic cubic media.

description: During restoration works carried out under the direction of the Archaeological Superintendence of Salerno, Avellino and Benevento, a three-dimensional survey was carried out aimed at the documentation of performed restoration works, setting-up for museum exhibitions and the monitoring of the Arco di Traiano in Benevento. The potentialities of 3D documentation are wide-ranging and not only limited to the cataloguing, but aimed at different kind of development: analysis of details, planning and structuring of restoration and conservation works, 3D printing to realize scaled copies without plaster cast operations, mapping of the state of conservation. The 3D model becomes a tool of knowledge and analysis, the use of which is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, also in relation to the increase in computing power and graphical display of devices such as notebooks, tablets, smartphones and dissemination of "broadband" for the interconnection of data transmission.

La ricomposizione dei frammenti delle mura urbiche di Carlentini attraverso l’interpretazione di documenti inediti
Creators: name: Romeo, Emanuele
Publisher: name: Restauro Archeologico
Year: 2017

description: The goal of the restoration of the city walls of Carlentini was to salvage the meaning of this work both as a urban system with cultural value. The work is the document of the history and material culture of a town that has preserved its road network nearly unchanged over the centuries, but has suffered the alterations in the residential buildings and the continuous disintegration of this fortified complex. With the help of unpublished cartographic sources, it was indeed possible to add, to the sections of walls still visible, those that were hidden under the building expansion of the last fifty years, thus ideally reconstructing the entire fortification. After these investigations, only a few portions of the original defensive work turned out to be completely lost or partially collapsed. Indeed, thanks to the knowledge acquired over a greater extension of the walls, the protection institutions have had to manage a larger and more complex fortification system than previously thought.

description: The small-scale artisanal fishery of the edible tunicate Microcosmus sabatieri was studied in the South Aegean
 Sea. Mean abundance was 156 ± 53 ind.20′ dive-1 and the pattern of distribution was even. Size-frequency analysis
 indicated a mode around 10 cm at all surveyed islands; nevertheless, significant differences on mean size of the ascidians
 were observed, as average size decreased eastwards, probably related to increased demand.
Studi e riflessioni per la salvaguardia e valorizzazione della cripta di Sant'Eusebio a Pavia

description: Located in Pavia, in an area that owes its importance to the Longobards era, the crypt of St. Eusebius is today the only surviving evidence of an ancient Germanic Cathedral, perhaps dating from the reign of King Rotari. Cited by Paolo Diacono in his Historia Langobardorum, it was over time affected by various alterations, devastations and assaults, alternated with long and dusty periods of neglect, which inevitably affected its dignity. This important 'monumental ruin', for too long confined within a structure that prevents its correct perception and public enjoyment, has recently been interested by new multidisciplinary studies and investigations aimed at improving its critical knowledge and understanding and then at establishing necessary conservation and valorisation activities, able to underline its high monumental value, improve its accessibility and ensure its transmission to future generations.

description: In decision-making on optimal treatment strategies, it is of great importance to identify variables that are involved in the decision rule, i.e. those interacting with the treatment. Effective variable selection helps to improve the prediction accuracy and enhance the interpretability of the decision rule. We propose a new penalized regression framework which can simultaneously estimate the optimal treatment strategy and identify important variables. The advantages of the new approach include: (i) it does not require the estimation of the baseline mean function of the response, which greatly improves the robustness of the estimator; (ii) the convenient loss-based framework makes it easier to adopt shrinkage methods for variable selection, which greatly facilitates implementation and statistical inferences for the estimator. The new procedure can be easily implemented by existing state-of-art software packages like LARS. Theoretical properties of the new estimator are studied. Its empirical performance is evaluated using simulation studies and further illustrated with an application to an AIDS clinical trial.
Sistemi di documentazione per l’analisi ed il progetto di recupero del forte San Lorenzo el Real del Chagre, Colón, Panama

Year: 2017

description: The paper is a summary of some studies that have focused on the documentation for the restoration and enhancement of the Fort San Lorenzo el Real del Chagres in Panama. The aim of the project is to develop an experimental methodology for the creation of descriptive atlases with an informative and reliable metric survey systems; a documentary corpus necessary for the understanding of the historical events which have affected this place, today declared UNESCO heritage, and for the definition of guidelines for restoration and enhancement. The monument is unique for both the special relationship with the surrounding context for defensive strategies terms, and for the deep connection with the events that have affected not only the colonization and development of Panama, but the entire Central America. From the first project of a "Castillo" to the creation of present's fortified fortress overlooking the outfall of the Chagres River, the paper is going to explain the major historical events that have influenced the image of the building, illustrating the documentation and the recovery project.

Discovery of interstellar ketenyl (HCCO), a surprisingly abundant radical

description: We have conducted radioastronomical observations of 9 dark clouds with the IRAM 30m telescope. We present the first identification in space of the ketenyl radical (HCCO) toward the starless core Lupus-1A and the molecular cloud L483, and the detection of the related molecules ketene (H2CCO) and acetaldehyde (CH3CHO) in these two sources and 3 additional dark clouds. We also report the detection of the formyl radical (HCO) in the 9 targeted sources and of propylene (CH2CHCH3) in 4 of the observed sources, which extends significantly the number of dark clouds where these molecules are known to be present. We derive a beam-averaged column density of HCCO of 5e11 cm-2 in both Lupus-1A and L483, which means that the ketenyl radical is just 10 times less abundant than ketene in these sources. The non-negligible abundance of HCCO found implies that there must be a powerful formation mechanism able to counterbalance the efficient destruction of this radical through reactions with neutral atoms. The column densities derived for HCO, (0.5-2.7)e12 cm-2, and CH2CHCH3, (1.9-4-2)e13 cm-2, are remarkably uniform across the sources where these species are detected, confirming their ubiquity in dark clouds. Gas phase chemical models of cold dark clouds can reproduce the observed abundances of HCO, but cannot explain the presence of HCCO in Lupus-1A and L483 and the high abundances derived for propylene. The chemistry of cold dark clouds needs to be revised in the light of these new observational results.

description: Negatively buoyant freely swimming crustaceans such as krill must generate downward momentum in order to maintain their position in the water column. These animals use a drag-based propulsion strategy, where pairs of closely spaced swimming limbs are oscillated rhythmically from the tail to head. Each pair is oscillated with a phase delay relative to the neighbouring pair, resulting in a metachronal wave travelling in the direction of animal motion. It remains unclear how oscillations of limbs in the horizontal plane can generate vertical momentum. Using particle image velocimetry measurements on a robotic model, we observed that metachronal paddling with non-zero phase lag created geometries of adjacent paddles that promote the formation of counter-rotating vortices. The interaction of these vortices resulted in generating large-scale angled downward jets. Increasing phase lag resulted in more vertical orientation of the jet, and phase lags in the range used by Antarctic krill produced the most total momentum. Synchronous paddling produced lower total momentum when compared with metachronal paddling. Lowering Reynolds number by an order of magnitude below the range of adult krill (250–1000) showed diminished downward propagation of the jet and lower vertical momentum. Our findings show that metachronal paddling is capable of producing flows that can generate both lift (vertical) and thrust (horizontal) forces needed for fast forward swimming and hovering.

description: The sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, is landed in fishing sites located along the coast of Senegal (Eastern
 tropical Atlantic). The smallest mature male was 165 cm in total length (TL) and weighed 14 kg while the largest male
 reached 193.5 cm TL and weighed 32 kg. The smallest adult female was 179 cm TL and weighed 25 kg while the largest
 female was 225 cm TL and weighed 64 kg. Parturition occurred from April to June. The gestation period was estimated at
 twelve months, at most. Females appeared to reproduce every two years. Size and mass at birth were based on near-term
 embryos and neonates; it probably occurred between 58 and 65 cm TL (mean: 60.3 cm ± 1.55) and between 0.92 and 1.52
 kg (mean: 1.08 kg ± 0.133). Litter sizes ranged from 4 to 12. Embryos and post-partum males did not significantly
 outnumber the females.
