description: Purpose: We estimated average medical costs due to metastatic breast cancer (mBC) among younger (aged 18–44), midlife (aged 45–64), and older women (aged 65 and older) by phase of care: initial, continuing, and terminal. Methods: We used 2003–2014 North Carolina cancer registry data linked with administrative claims from public and private payers. We developed a claims-based algorithm to identify breast cancer patients who progressed to metastatic disease. We matched breast cancer patients (mBC and earlier stage) to non-cancer patients on age group, county of residence, and insurance plan. Outcomes were average monthly medical expenditures and expected medical expenditures by phase. We used regression to estimate excess costs attributed to mBC as the difference in mean payments between patients with mBC (N = 4806) and patients with each earlier-stage breast cancer (stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, and unknown stage; N = 21,772) and non-cancer controls (N = 109,631) by treatment phase and age group. Results: Adjusted monthly costs for women with mBC were significantly higher than for women with earlier-stage breast cancer and non-cancer controls for all age groups and treatment phases except the initial treatment among women with stage 3 breast cancer at diagnosis. The largest expected total costs were for women aged 18–44 with mBC during the continuing phase ($209,961 95% Confidence Interval $165,736–254,186). Conclusions: We found substantial excess costs for mBC among younger women and during the continuing and terminal phases of survivorship. It is important to assess whether this care is high value for these women.

description: In 1988, during the extension of a modern water channel, an ancient monument was discovered in the plain west of Apollonia (Albania). While the excavators described it as an altar, this paper argues that the monument may be better interpreted as a tomb of the aedicula type as it is situated in the necropolis area close to the city wall. The monument is an important indicator of Apollonia’s funeral customs and raises questions regarding the funeral assemblies and areas of representation in Apollonia.

description: As a droplet impacts on a granular substrate, both the intruder and the target deform, during which the liquid may penetrate into the substrate. {These three aspects together distinguish} it from other impact phenomena in the literature. We perform high-speed, double-laser profilometry measurements and disentangle the dynamics into three aspects: the deformation of the substrate during the impact, the maximum spreading diameter of the droplet, and the penetration of the liquid into the substrate. By systematically varying the impact speed and the packing fraction of the substrate, (i) the substrate deformation indicates a critical packing fraction $ϕ^*\approx 0.585$; (ii) the maximum droplet spreading diameter is found to scale with a Weber number corrected by the substrate deformation; and (iii) a model about the liquid penetration is established and is used to explain the observed crater morphology transition.

description: Objective: The objective of this pilot study was to determine if temperature and exposure time affected the pH of
various beverages. Methods: Five types of beverages (fruit drink, juice, carbonated drink, malted drink and
sports drink) were selected for the pilot study. The pH of each drink was measured using separate cans at three
different temperatures which are 4⁰C, 25⁰C and 27⁰C. The pH of the drinks were recorded in triplicate readings
and repeated ANOVA test was done. Separately, each type of drink was assessed at an interval of 10 minutes for
a total duration of 30 minutes. Triplicate readings were taken at a consistent room temperature of 27⁰C. A
repeated ANOVA test was done to determine if there is any significant difference in pH changes caused by the
time of exposure. Results: With the exception of juices, all other drinks showed significant difference in pH
value when drinks are tested in different temperatures. As for the effect of exposure time on pH of beverage,
three drinks (carbonated, sports drink and juice) showed significant difference. Conclusions: Given the fact that
pH readings are different in the same drink in different environments, the timing of reading and the room
temperature should be standardized for the main study. Further studies which include longer length of exposure
time should be done to assess if there is any recognizable pattern of pH change in the various beverages.

description: The principle of local distinguishability states that an arbitrary physical state of a bipartite system can be determined by the combined statistics of local measurements performed on the subsystems. A necessary and sufficient requirement for the local measurements is that each one must be able to distinguish between all pairs of states of the respective subsystems. We show that if the task is changed into the determination of an arbitrary bipartite pure state, then at least in certain cases it is possible to restrict to local measurements which can distintinguish all pure states but not all states. This surprising fact gives evidence that the principle of local distinguishability may be expanded beyond its usual applicability.

description: Environmental effects on walking behavior have received attention in recent years because of the potential for policy interventions to increase population levels of walking. Most epidemiologic studies describe associations of walking behavior with environmental features. These analyses ignore the dynamic processes that shape walking behaviors. A spatial agent-based model (ABM) was developed to simulate peoples’ walking behaviors within a city. Each individual was assigned properties such as age, SES, walking ability, attitude toward walking and a home location. Individuals perform different activities on a regular basis such as traveling for work, for shopping, and for recreation. Whether an individual walks and the amount she or he walks is a function distance to different activities and her or his walking ability and attitude toward walking. An individual’s attitude toward walking evolves over time as a function of past experiences, walking of others along the walking route, limits on distances walked per day, and attitudes toward walking of the other individuals within her/his social network. The model was calibrated and used to examine the contributions of land use and safety to socioeconomic differences in walking. With further refinement and validation, ABMs may help to better understand the determinants of walking and identify the most promising interventions to increase walking.

It is known that in higher dimensions, bound orbits exist only for pure Lovelock black hole in all even dimensions, D=2N+2, where N is degree of Lovelock polynomial action. In particular, we compute periastron shift and light bending and the latter is given by one of transverse spatial components of Riemann curvature tensor. We also consider pseudo-Newtonian potentials and Kruskal coordinates.

The changing semantics of happy and glorious after the English Revolution of 1688: A corpus-assisted discourse study
Creators: name: Cecconi, Elisabetta
Publisher: name: mediAzioni
Year: 2023

description: My paper takes as its focus the semantic variation of the pre-modifying adjectives happy and glorious which resulted from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the subsequent triumphal representation of Britain as a champion of freedom and emancipation. By adopting principles of corpus-assisted discourse studies (Stubbs 2001; Partington 2004), I shall examine the collocational patterns of the two lexical items in the British periodical press, covering the period from 1620 to 1789. Before the Glorious Revolution the meaning of the two premodifiers appears consistent with the definitions provided in the OED but from 1688 onwards changes in the phraseology affect their semantics. In particular, after the Revolution, happy and glorious show a semantic preference for words referring to liberty and (universal) rights which enriches their meaning with a sense of freedom from oppression and corruption. Given that the two adjectives already had a positive meaning, the libertarian semantics acquired after 1688 can be interpreted as a further amelioration in the direction of liberalism and, at the end of the century, Enlightened universalism. In order to investigate the changing semantics of the two adjectives throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, I shall make use of the Florence Early English Newspapers Corpus (1620-1649), the Lancaster Newsbooks Corpus (1653-1654), the Zurich English Newspaper Corpus (1671, 1681, 1691) and the British Newspaper Archive for the period from 1700 to 1789.

description: We investigate new properties of the Dirac electrons in the finite graphene sample under perpendicular magnetic field that emerge when an in-plane electric bias is also applied. The numerical analysis of the Hofstadter spectrum and of the edge-type wave functions evidentiate the presence of shortcut edge states that appear under the influence of the electric field. The states are characterized by a specific spatial distribution, which follows only partially the perimeter, and exhibit ridges that shortcut opposite sides of the graphene plaquette. Two kinds of such states have been found in different regions of the spectrum, their particular spatial localization being shown along with the diamagnetic moments that reveal their chirality. By simulating a four-lead Hall device, we investigate the transport properties and observe new, unconventional plateaus of the integer quantum Hall effect, which are associated with the presence of the shortcut edge states. The contributions of the novel states to the transmittance matrix that determine the new transport properties are shown. The shortcut edge states resulting from the splitting of the n=0 Landau level represent a special case, giving rise to non-trivial transverse and longitudinal resistance.

description: We explore several extensions of the generalized entropy construction of Lewkowycz and Maldacena, including a formulation that does not rely on preserving replica symmetry in the bulk. We show that an appropriately general ansatz for the analytically continued replica metric gives us the flexibility needed to solve the gravitational field equations beyond general relativity. As an application of this observation we study Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a small Gauss-Bonnet coupling and derive the condition that the holographic entanglement entropy must be evaluated on a surface which extremizes the Jacobson-Myers entropy. We find that in both general relativity and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity replica symmetry breaking terms are permitted by the field equations, suggesting that they do not generically vanish.

description: Solar irradiance variations over solar rotational time-scales are largely determined by the passage of magnetic structures across the visible solar disk. Variations on solar cycle time scales are thought to be similarly due to changes in surface magnetism with activity. Understanding the contribution of magnetic structures to total solar irradiance and solar spectral irradiance requires assessing their contributions as a function of disk position. Since only relative photometry is possible from the ground, the contrasts of image pixels are measured with respect to a center-to-limb intensity profile. Using nine years of full-disk red and blue continuum images from the Precision Solar Photometric Telescope at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (PSPT/MLSO), we examine the sensitivity of continuum contrast measurements to the center-to-limb profile definition. Profiles which differ only by the amount of magnetic activity allowed in the pixels used to determine them yield oppositely signed solar cycle length continuum contrast trends; either agreeing with the result of Preminger et al. (2011) showing negative correlation with solar cycle or disagreeing and showing positive correlation with solar cycle. Changes in the center-to-limb profile shape over the solar cycle are responsible for the contradictory contrast results, and we demonstrate that the lowest contrast structures, internetwork and network, are most sensitive to these. Thus the strengths of the full-disk, internetwork, and network photometric trends depend critically on the magnetic flux density used in the quiet-sun definition. We conclude that the contributions of low contrast magnetic structures to variations in the solar continuum output, particularly to long-term variations, are difficult, if not impossible, to determine without the use of radiometric imaging.

description: The sibling relationship represents a unique bond characterized by a high degree of closeness and intimacy, which fosters teaching and learning. Two studies investigated associations between sibling-directed teaching, imitation as a learning strategy, and learner involvement during a semi-structured, video-taped construction task. Study 1 also examined associations with the teacher’s Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities; Study 2 focused on associations with birth order and sibling relationship quality. In both studies, siblings ranged from preschool-age to the cusp of middle childhood (Study 1 n = 61; Study 2 n = 72). Findings across both studies indicated that learners engaged in significantly more nonverbal than verbal imitation and imitation was predominately immediate and not deferred. Teachers responded to both verbal and nonverbal learner imitation positively, corrected, or did not respond. In Study 1, learner task involvement was predicted by learner age and nonverbal imitation, while teaching strategies that were positively related to the teacher’s ToM abilities were associated with learner imitation. In Study 2, younger siblings’ reports of a positive sibling relationship were significantly associated with learner imitation. Birth order differences were only evident for younger (but not older) sibling learner imitation and task involvement. Findings are discussed in light of relationships and social constructivist theories of development.

description: Birds play a crucial role as indicators of environmental health, making them valuable species for conservation assessments. Despite agriculture covering 60.45% of India's total land area, conservation efforts have traditionally focused on natural forests and protected areas. This study aims to fill the gap by presenting a systematic checklist of bird species observed in the Nautanwa agriculture landscape of Maharajganj district, Uttar Pradesh. Conducted from May to June 2022, the study recorded 52 bird species across 47 genera, 28 families, and 13 orders. Passeriformes emerged as the dominant order, comprising 12 families and 22 species.Distance sampling revealed an overall bird density of 11.74 ± 0.73 individuals per hectare. The study reported an overall diversity index of 5.67 and a richness index of 53.69 for the Nautanwa agriculture landscape. Six foraging guilds were identified, with omnivores representing the majority at 51%. Notably, the research identified two vulnerable species, the Sarus crane (Grus Antigone) and Lesser adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus), emphasizing the conservation significance of the Nautanwa agricultural habitats. Monitoring these areas is imperative for effective long-term conservation planning, especially considering the rapid landscape changes.This preliminary avifauna study establishes a baseline for future research, offering valuable insights for understanding and comparing mass-level landscape changes in Uttar Pradesh. The findings underscore the importance of considering agricultural landscapes in broader conservation strategies and highlight the need for continued monitoring to protect vulnerable bird species in these dynamic environments.

description: Behavior has a broad and central role in health. Behavioral interventions can be effectively used to prevent disease, improve management of existing disease, increase quality of life, and reduce healthcare costs. A summary is presented of evidence for these conclusions in cardiovascular disease/diabetes, cancer, and HIV/AIDS as well as with key risk factors: tobacco use, poor diet, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol consumption. For each, documentation is made of (1) moderation of genetic and other fundamental biological influences by behaviors and social–environmental factors, (2) impacts of behaviors on health, (3) success of behavioral interventions in prevention, (4) disease management, (5) and quality of life, and (6) improvements in the health of populations through behavioral health promotion programs. Evidence indicates the cost effectiveness and value of behavioral interventions, especially relative to other common health services, as well as the value they add in terms of quality of life. Pertinent to clinicians and their patients as well as to health policy and population health, the benefits of behavioral interventions extend beyond impacts on a particular disease or risk factor. Rather, they include broad effects and benefits on prevention, disease management, and well-being across the life span. Among priorities for dissemination research, the application of behavioral approaches is challenged by diverse barriers, including socioeconomic barriers linked to health disparities. However, behavioral approaches including those emphasizing community and social influences appear to be useful in addressing such challenges. In sum, behavioral approaches should have a central place in prevention and health care of the 21st century.

description: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a fatal condition with dismal prognosis and aggressive local invasiveness; and with uncharacterised molecular pathology relating to non-specific therapeutic modalities. Given the importance of oxidative stress in chronic diseases and carcinogenesis, and the lacunae in literature regarding its role in gallbladder diseases, this study aimed to study the involvement of oxidative stress and deregulation in the base excision repair (BER) pathway in the pathogenesis of gallbladder diseases including GBC. This study involved patients from the North-East Indian population, where the numbers of reported cases are increasing rapidly and alarmingly. Oxidative stress, based on 8-OH-dG levels, was found to be significantly higher in gallbladder anomalies (cholelithiasis [CL] and cholecystitis [CS]) and GBC at the plasma and DNA level, and was associated with GBC severity. The expressions of key BER pathway genes were downregulated in gallbladder anomalies and GBC compared to controls, and in GBC compared to both non-neoplastic controls and gallbladder anomalies. Expression of XRCC1 and hOGG1 was significantly associated with both susceptibility and severity of GBC. The XRCC1 codon280 polymorphism was associated with disease susceptibility; and significantly higher oxidative stress was observed in hOGG1 genotypic variants. The genomes of GBC patients were found to be more hypermethylated compared to controls, with the promoters of XRCC1 and hOGG1 being hypermethylated and, therefore, being silenced. This study underlined the prognostic significance of the oxidative stress marker 8-OH-dG and BER pathway genes, especially hOGG1 and XRCC1, in gallbladder anomalies and GBC, as well as stated their potential for therapeutic targeting.

description: Purpose: A recent study using national data from 2000 to 2009 identified colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality “hotspots” in 11 counties of North Carolina (NC). In this study, we used more recent, state-specific data to investigate the county-level determinants of geographic variation in NC through a geospatial analytic approach. Method: Using NC CRC mortality data from 2003 to 2013, we first conducted clustering analysis to confirm spatial dependence. Spatial economic models were then used to incorporate spatial structure to estimate the association between determinants and CRC mortality. We included county-level data on socio-demographic characteristics, access and quality of healthcare, behavioral risk factors (CRC screening, obesity, and cigarette smoking), and urbanicity. Due to correlation among screening, obesity and quality of healthcare, we combined these factors to form a cumulative risk group variable in the analysis. Results: We confirmed the existence of spatial dependence and identified clusters of elevated CRC mortality rates in NC counties. Using a spatial lag model, we found significant interaction effect between CRC risk groups and socioeconomic deprivation. Higher CRC mortality rates were also associated with rural counties with large towns compared to urban counties. Conclusion: Our findings depicted a spatial diffusion process of CRC mortality rates across NC counties, demonstrated intertwined effects between SES deprivation and behavioral risks in shaping CRC mortality at area-level, and identified counties with high CRC mortality that were also deprived in multiple factors. These results suggest interventions to reduce geographic variation in CRC mortality should develop multifaceted strategies and work through shared resources in neighboring areas.

description: Die über mehrere Jahre durchgeführten archäometrischen Untersuchungen der antiken Steindenkmäler in der Antikensammlung des Budapester Museums der Bildenden Künste, die im Zusammenhang einer neuen archäologischen Erforschung der Denkmäler stattfanden, werden hier bekannt gemacht. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, daß die echte Kooperation der beiden Forschungszweige mittels intensiver Diskussion und Schärfung der Methoden und Argumente zu neuen Erkenntnissen führen kann. Die Beachtung archäometrischer Informationen durch die Archäologie bringt einerseits Bestätigung kunsthistorischer Einordnungen; sie wirft andererseits aber auch neue Fragen auf, die bisweilen zu innovativen Interpretationen führen oder auch unerwartet zu derzeit nicht lösbaren Problemen, die daher zu einer wissenschaftlichen Debatte anregen. In mehreren Abschnitten werden für diese Potentiale und Schwierigkeiten charakteristische Beispiele antiker Skulpturen der Sammlung aufgezeigt.

description: Background: Population-based studies suggest that patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have better outcomes when treated at high-volume facilities, but the relative contribution of provider expertise and hospital resources to improved outcomes is unknown. This study explored how treating facility, individual provider volume, and patient-sharing between MM specialists and community providers influenced outcomes for patients with MM. Patients and Methods: A state cancer registry linked to public and private insurance claims was used to identify a cohort of patients diagnosed with MM in 2006 through 2012. Three multivariable Cox models were used to examine how the following factors impacted overall survival: (1) evaluation at an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center (NCICCC), (2) the primary oncologist's volume of patients with MM, and (3) patient-sharing between MM specialists and community oncologists. Results: A total of 1,029 patients diagnosed with MM in 2006 through 2012 were identified. Patients who were not evaluated at an NCICCC had an increased risk of mortality compared with those evaluated at an NCICCC (hazard ratio [HR], 1.50; 95% CI, 1.21-1.86; P,.001). Compared with patients treated by NCICCC MM specialists, those treated by both low-volume community providers (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.14-1.90; P,.01) and high-volume community providers (HR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.04-1.61; P,.05) had a higher risk of mortality. No difference in mortality was seen between patients treated by NCICCC MM specialists and those treated by the highest-volume community oncologists in the ninth and tenth deciles (HR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.84-1.37; P 5.5591). Patients treated by community oncologists had a higher risk of mortality regardless of patient-sharing compared with patients treated by MM specialists (eg, community oncologist with a history of sharing vs NCICCC MM specialist: HR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.10-2.02; P,.05). Conclusions: Findings of this study add to the accumulating evidence showing that patients with MM benefit from care at high-volume facilities, and suggest that similar outcomes can be achieved by the highest-volume providers in the community.

description: Background: The link of acidic beverage consumption and dental erosion is a well-known fact. However,
the substitution of sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) by either non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS)
or Steviol Glycosides (SG) in carbonated soft drinks remains unclear. Objective: To assesses the dental
erosion potential related to NNS (Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, Sucralose), and SG in carbonated soft drinks
on 60 extracted healthy premolar teeth. Methods: Samples were randomly distributed into five groups:
Group I: Classic CokeTM, Group II: Light CokeTM, Group III: Stevia CokeTM, Group IV: Mineral Water,
Group V: Distilled Water. Initially, pH, titratable acidity and calcium content of each tested drinks were
determined. Standardize enamel surface area of premolar teeth were exposed in selected five beverages in
5-minute duration, three times in 4 hours interval daily for four consecutive days. The erosive potential
was evaluated by measuring calcium released and teeth weight loss. Results: All tested carbonated soft
drinks showed significance differences p<0.05. Light CokeTM showed the highest dental erosion followed
by Classic CokeTM and Stevia CokeTM. Conclusion: Substitution of sweeteners types in acidic beverages
do give a different influence on teeth erosion. SG can be proposed as future sweetener substitute in acidic
beverages to reduce dental erosion.

description: Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and let G=E(Q)_tors be the associated torsion group. In a previous paper, the authors studied, for a given G, which possible groups G\leq H could appear such that H=E(K)_tors, for [K:Q]=2. In the present paper, we go further in this study and compute, under this assumption and for every such G, all the possible situations where G\neq H. The result is optimal, as we also display examples for every situation we state as possible. As a consequence, the maximum number of quadratic number fields K such that E(Q)_tors\neq E(K)_tors is easily obtained.
