description: Limited studies have focused on maternal early-life risk factors and the later development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed to estimate the GDM prevalence and examine the associations of maternal early-life risk factors, namely: maternal birthweight, parental smoking at birth, childhood urbanicity, ever-breastfed, parental education attainment, parental history of diabetes, childhood overall health, childhood body size, and childhood height, with later GDM. This was a retrospective cross-sectional study using the UAE Healthy Future Study (UAEHFS) baseline data (February 2016 to April 2022) on 702 ever-married women aged 18 to 67 years. We fitted a Poisson regression to estimate the risk ratio (RR) for later GDM and its 95% confidence interval (CI). The GDM prevalence was 5.1%. In the fully adjusted model, females with low birthweight were four times more likely (RR 4.04, 95% CI 1.36-12.0) and females with a parental history of diabetes were nearly three times more likely (RR 2.86, 95% CI 1.10-7.43) to report later GDM. In conclusion, maternal birthweight and parental history of diabetes were significantly associated with later GDM. Close glucose monitoring during pregnancy among females with either a low birth weight and/or parental history of diabetes might help to prevent GDM among this high-risk group.

description: The deep connection between gravitational dynamics and horizon thermodynamics leads to several intriguing features both in general relativity and in Lanczos-Lovelock theories of gravity. Recently in arXiv:1312.3253 several additional results strengthening the above connection have been established within the framework of general relativity. In this work we provide a generalization of the above setup to Lanczos-Lovelock gravity as well. To our expectation it turns out that most of the results obtained in the context of general relativity generalize to Lanczos-Lovelock gravity in a straightforward but non-trivial manner. Another very interesting feature for gravity is that gravitational field equations for arbitrary static and spherically symmetric spacetimes with horizon can be written as a thermodynamic identity in the near horizon limit. This result holds in both general relativity and in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity as well. In a previous work [arXiv:1505.05297] we have shown that, for an arbitrary spacetime, the gravitational field equations near any null surface generically leads to a thermodynamic identity. In this work, we have also generalized this result to Lanczos-Lovelock gravity by showing that gravitational field equations for Lanczos-Lovelock gravity near an arbitrary null surface can be written as a thermodynamic identity. By taking appropriate limit to general relativity we can reproduce the results presented in arXiv:1312.3253 and arXiv:1505.05297.

description: There is great interest in the role epigenetic variation induced by non-genetic exposures may play in the context of health and disease. In particular, DNA methylation has previously been shown to be highly dynamic during the earliest stages of development and is influenced by in utero exposures such as maternal smoking and medication. In this study we sought to identify the specific DNA methylation differences in blood-associated prenatal exposures including birth weight, gestational age and maternal smoking. We quantified neonatal methylomic variation in 1263 infants using DNA isolated from a unique collection of archived blood spots taken shortly after birth (mean = 6.08 days; s.d. = 3.24 days). An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of gestational age and birth weight identified 4299 and 18 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) respectively, at an experiment-wide significance threshold of p −7. Our EWAS of maternal smoking during pregnancy identified 110 DMPs in neonatal blood, replicating previously reported genomic loci including AHRR. Finally, we tested the hypothesis that DNA methylation mediates the relationship between maternal smoking and lower birth weight, finding evidence that methylomic variation at three DMPs may link exposure to outcome. These findings complement an expanding literature on the epigenomic consequences of prenatal exposures and obstetric factors, confirming a link between the maternal environment and gene regulation in neonates.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Developing differences: towards an evolutionary medicine of early life effects’.

description: Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) drives Parkinson's disease (PD), although the initial stages of self-assembly and structural conversion have not been directly observed inside neurons. In this study, we tracked the intracellular conformational states of α-Syn using a single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) biosensor, and we show here that α-Syn converts from a monomeric state into two distinct oligomeric states in neurons in a concentration-dependent and sequence-specific manner. Three-dimensional FRET-correlative light and electron microscopy (FRET-CLEM) revealed that intracellular seeding events occur preferentially on membrane surfaces, especially at mitochondrial membranes. The mitochondrial lipid cardiolipin triggers rapid oligomerization of A53T α-Syn, and cardiolipin is sequestered within aggregating lipid-protein complexes. Mitochondrial aggregates impair complex I activity and increase mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, which accelerates the oligomerization of A53T α-Syn and causes permeabilization of mitochondrial membranes and cell death. These processes were also observed in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons harboring A53T mutations from patients with PD. Our study highlights a mechanism of de novo α-Syn oligomerization at mitochondrial membranes and subsequent neuronal toxicity.

description: This paper investigates whether or not fixed (decoupled) direct payment to Korean rice farmers is decoupled. In this paper, we conclude that it increased rice production and it causes the excess supply of rice. It is true since many Korean rice farmers do not recognize the differences between fixed direct payment and variable direct payment. It shows that Korean government needs to inform the payment terms of the fixed direct payment to rice farmers through newspaper and media.

description: SN HFF14Tom is a Type Ia Supernova (SN) discovered at z = 1.3457 +- 0.0001 behind the galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). In a cosmology-independent analysis, we find that HFF14Tom is 0.77 +- 0.15 magnitudes brighter than unlensed Type Ia SNe at similar redshift, implying a lensing magnification of mu_obs = 2.03 +- 0.29. This observed magnification provides a rare opportunity for a direct empirical test of galaxy cluster lens models. Here we test 17 lens models, 13 of which were generated before the SN magnification was known, qualifying as pure "blind tests". The models are collectively fairly accurate: 8 of the models deliver median magnifications that are consistent with the measured mu to within 1-sigma. However, there is a subtle systematic bias: the significant disagreements all involve models overpredicting the magnification. We evaluate possible causes for this mild bias, and find no single physical or methodological explanation to account for it. We do find that model accuracy can be improved to some extent with stringent quality cuts on multiply-imaged systems, such as requiring that a large fraction have spectroscopic redshifts. In addition to testing model accuracies as we have done here, Type Ia SN magnifications could also be used as inputs for future lens models of Abell 2744 and other clusters, providing valuable constraints in regions where traditional strong- and weak-lensing information is unavailable.

Nearly constant loss or constant loss in ionically conducting glasses: A physically realizable approach
Creators: name: Macdonald, J. R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: Conductivity exhibiting power-law frequency response with an exponent of unity leads to frequency-independent dielectric loss. Such constant-loss (CL) behavior is not physically realizable over a nonzero frequency range, and approximate expressions that have been used to represent it are inconsistent with the Kronig–Kramers relations. Response models are proposed and investigated that do satisfy these relations and can lead to very close approximation to CL over many frequency decades, as often observed at low temperatures in ionic conductors such as glasses. Apparent CL response is shown to arise from the series connection of a constant-phase complex-power-law element (CPE), with exponent δ (0<δ≪1), and a frequency-independent dielectric constant, ε U . Two physically disparate situations can lead to such a series connection. The first involves bulk CPE response in series with an electrode-related, double-layer blocking capacitance involving a dielectric constant ε S . Then, apparent CL behavior may be associated with localized ionic motion in the bulk of the material. The second (mirror-image) situation involves CPE response associated with ionic motion in or at an electrode in series with a capacitance such as the bulk high-frequency-limiting total dielectric constant ε ∞ or the pure-dielectric quantity ε D∞ . The present model is used to simultaneously fit both the real and imaginary parts of data derived from measurements on a sodium-trisilicate glass at 122 K. This data set exhibits power-law nearly constant loss for ε ′ (ω) and apparent CL for ε ″ (ω). The magnitude of the CL closely satisfies a simple equation involving only δ and ε U . Further, for the electrode-power-law situation, estimated values of limiting-high-frequency dielectric constants turn out to be more consistent with bulk values established at much higher temperatures where nearly constant loss is no longer a dominant part of the response. Data at −0.5°C are also analyzed with a more complicated composite model, one that is a generalization of both of the above approaches, and nearly constant loss bulk, not electrode, power-law effects in both ε ′ (ω) and ε ″ (ω) are isolated and quantified. For this data set it is shown that electrode effects are important at both ends of the frequency range.

description: Stress and uncertainty have been shown to increase people’s health information-seeking (Lee & Hawkins, 2016). Health information-seeking is generally viewed as a positive as it is a coping strategy employed by patients (Lambert & Loiselle, 2007). However, The WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has highlighted the risk of false and misleading information spreading rapidly across different platforms, and he called this an infodemic (Zarocostas, 2020). The spread of speculative and false information about Covid-19 breaths uncertainty among the public and this leads to problems for the rational management of the outbreak (Kelly, 2020). During the current health crisis, the spread of false information has detracted from evidence-based precautions advised by health authorities. It has also led to delays in people seeking time-sensitive treatment and people avoiding medications (O’Connor & Murphy, 2020). When faced with a health emergency, governments can suspend ordinary law to protect the population. During COVID-19, governments have undertaken numerous extraordinary measures including limiting freedom of movement and freedom of assembly, placing restrictions on entrepreneurial activity and utilising surveillance technology (Nay, 2020; Paakkari & Okan, 2020). One option open to governments hoping to reduce the infodemic is to restrict individual freedom of expression. This Work-in-Progress (WIP) paper uses the Belmont Report (Ryan et al., 1979), to explore how restricting an individual’s freedom of expression may be tailored to meet the needs of wider society during a health crisis and how this may impact on the rights of the individual.
Nuclear magnetic resonance radiation damping in inhomogeneous radio frequency fields: The toroid cavity detector
Creators: name: Momot, Konstantin I.
name: Johnson Jr., Charles S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: A theory is presented for radiation damping (RD) in the toroid cavity nuclear magnetic resonancedetector, a cylindrically symmetric inhomogeneous-rf field detector in which the magnitude of B 1 is inversely proportional to the distance from the cylindrical symmetry axis. The equations of motion of the magnetization components are obtained and discussed. Numerical simulations of conventional- and composite-pulse experiments are presented, along with a discussion of the effects of RD on the evolution of magnetization. Preliminary simulations of RD in the presence of inhomogeneous line broadening are also presented. The signature effect of radiation damping in the TCD is the winding or unwinding of magnetization gratings that has recently been observed by other researchers. The observed magnitude of the effect is linked to the effective filling factor, which currently appears to be limited by the stray inductance of the detection circuit. The results are of interest in connection with recent findings regarding the interaction of RD with the dipolar demagnetizing field.

Comparison and evaluation of several models for fitting the frequency response of dispersive systems
Creators: name: Macdonald, J. Ross
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Using both simulated and experimental data, detailed comparisons are made between the different physical interpretations and responses of several important models commonly employed for fitting and analyzing conductive-system data sets, such as those for ionic glasses. Those considered are one following directly from stretched-exponential temporal response, designated the Kohlrausch K0; several ones indirectly associated with such stretched-exponential response: the original modulus formalism (OMF) model and corrected modulus formalism (CMF) ones; and the ZC model, one whose real-part conductivity expression has been termed “universal dynamic response.” In addition, several models involving dielectric dispersion, rather than resistive dispersion, are found to be less appropriate for the present data than are the CMF ones. Of the four main conductive-system models the CMF approach fits data for a wide variety of materials much better than do the others. The OMF is shown to be both experimentally and theoretically defective and leads to poor and inconsistent fitting results. The simple ZC model involves nonphysical low-frequency-limiting real-part conductivity response and is usually less appropriate even than the K0. High- and low-frequency expressions and fit results for the various dielectric elements are presented, along with discussion of characteristic, peak, and mean relaxation times for the various models, failing to confirm some proposed relations between these quantities suggested earlier.

description: We study the response of random singlet quantum critical points to local perturbations. Despite being insulating, these systems are dramatically affected by a local cut in the system, so that the overlap $G=\left|\langle Ψ_B |Ψ_A \rangle\right|$ of the groundstate wave functions with and without a cut vanishes algebraically in the thermodynamic limit. We analyze this Anderson orthogonality catastrophe in detail using a real-space renormalization group approach. We show that both the typical value of the overlap G and the disorder average of $G^α$ with $α>0$ decay as power-laws of the system size. In particular, the disorder average of $G^α$ shows a "multifractal" behavior, with a non-trivial limit $α\to \infty$ that is dominated by rare events. We also discuss the case of more generic local perturbations and generalize these results to local quantum quenches.

description: The structural, electronic, vibrational, and magnetic properties of the C 48 N 12 azafullerene and C 60 are comparatively studied from the first-principles calculations. Full geometrical optimization and Mulliken charge analysis are performed. Electronic structure calculations of C 48 N 12 show that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is a doubly degenerate level of a g symmetry and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is a nondegenerate level of a u symmetry. The calculated binding energy per atom and HOMO-LUMO energy gap of C 48 N 12 are about 1 eV smaller than those of C 60 . Because of electron correlations, the HOMO-LUMO gap decreases about 5 eV and the binding energy per atom increases about 2 eV. The average second-order hyperpolarizability of C 48 N 12 is about 55% larger than that of C 60 . Our vibrational frequency analysis predicts that C 48 N 12 has 58 infrared-active and 58 Raman-active vibrational modes. Two different methods for calculating nuclear magnetic shieldingtensors of C 60 and C 48 N 12 are compared, and we find that C 48 N 12 exhibits eight 13 C and two 15 N NMRspectral signals. Our best-calculated results for C 60 are in excellent agreement with experiment. Our results suggest that C 48 N 12 has potential applications as semiconductor components, nonlinear optical materials, and possible building blocks for molecular electronics and photonic devices.

description: Recently, economic depression, which scoured all over the world, affects business organizations and banking sectors. Such economic pose causes a severe attrition for banks and customer retention becomes impossible. Accordingly, marketing managers are in need to increase marketing campaigns, whereas organizations evade both expenses and business expansion. In order to solve such riddle, data mining techniques is used as an uttermost factor in data analysis, data summarizations, hidden pattern discovery, and data interpretation. In this paper, rough set theory and decision tree mining techniques have been implemented, using a real marketing data obtained from Portuguese marketing campaign related to bank deposit subscription [Moro et al., 2011]. The paper aims to improve the efficiency of the marketing campaigns and helping the decision makers by reducing the number of features, that describes the dataset and spotting on the most significant ones, and predict the deposit customer retention criteria based on potential predictive rules.

description: We introduce a model of a dual-core optical waveguide with opposite signs of the group-velocity-dispersion (GVD) in the two cores, and a phase-velocity mismatch between them. The coupler is embedded into an active host medium, which provides for the linear coupling of a gain-loss type between the two cores. The same system can be derived, without phenomenological assumptions, by considering the three-wave propagation in a medium with the quadratic nonlinearity, provided that the depletion of the second-harmonic pump is negligible. This linear system offers an optical realization of the charge-parity ($\mathcal{CP}$) symmetry, while the addition of the intra-core cubic nonlinearity breaks the symmetry. By means of direct simulations and analytical approximations, it is demonstrated that the linear system generates expanding Gaussian states, while the nonlinear one gives rise to broad oscillating solitons, as well as a general family of stable stationary gap solitons.

description: We present results of a combined theoretical and experimental study on the vibrational predissociation of the HCl dimer. On the theoretical side, photodissociation linewidths and product-state distributions for monomer stretch excited states with total angular momentum J=0 were computed, using the Fermi golden rule approximation. The resonances investigated include excitation of the hydrogen bond donor and acceptor stretches, as well as combinations of one of these modes with the intermolecular stretch and geared bend modes, for both even and odd permutation symmetry. Line strengths for the transitions from the J=1, K=0 ground state to excited states with J=0 were computed using quasibound states. On the experimental side, the photofragment angular distribution method was employed to obtain complete final-state distributions for the monomer stretch excited states. Three different transitions were probed, all starting from the lower tunneling component of the ground state: the (R)Q(0)(1) transition for excitation of the acceptor stretch and the (Q)R(0)(0) transition and unresolved (R)Q(0) branch for the donor stretch excitation. We find that, in contrast to the HF dimer, the excited-state alignment of the HCl dimer, resulting from excitation using a polarized laser beam, is completely lost on the time scale of the dissociation. The agreement between theory and experiment for the product-state distributions and line strengths is reasonable. The computed lifetimes are 1-2 orders of magnitude too small, which is attributed to a deficiency in the potential energy surface.

description: The possibility of realizing bosonic fractional quantum Hall effect in ultra-cold atomic systems suggests a new route to producing and manipulating anyons, by introducing auxiliary bosons of a different species that capture quasiholes and thus inherit their non-trivial braiding properties. States with localized quasiholes at any desired locations can be obtained by annihilating the auxiliary bosons at those locations. We explore how this method can be used to generate non-Abelian quasiholes of the Moore-Read Pfaffian state for bosons at filling factor $ν=1$. We show that a Hamiltonian with an appropriate three-body interaction can produce two-quasihole states in two distinct fusion channels of the topological "qubit." Characteristics of these states that are related to the non-Abelian nature can be probed and verified by a measurement of the effective relative angular momentum of the auxiliary bosons, which is directly related to their pair distribution function. Moore-Read states of more than two quasiholes can also be produced in a similar fashion. We investigate some issues related to the experimental feasibility of this approach, in particular, how large the systems should be for a realization of this physics and to what extent this physics carries over to systems with the more standard two-body contact interaction.

description: Electric fields in non-local media with power-law spatial dispersion are discussed. Equations involving a fractional Laplacian in the Riesz form that describe the electric fields in such non-local media are studied. The generalizations of Coulomb's law and Debye's screening for power-law non-local media are characterized. We consider simple models with anomalous behavior of plasma-like media with power-law spatial dispersions. The suggested fractional differential models for these plasma-like media are discussed to describe non-local properties of power-law type.

description: The variation of remotely sensed neutron count rates is measured as a function of cratercentric distance using data from the Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer. The count rate, stacked over many craters, peaks over the crater centre, has a minimum near the crater rim, and at larger distances, it increases to a mean value that is up to 1% lower than the mean count rate observed over the crater. A simple model is presented, based upon an analytical topographical profile for the stacked craters fitted to data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA). The effect of topography coupled with neutron beaming from the surface largely reproduces the observed count rate profiles. However, a model that better fits the observations can be found by including the additional freedom to increase the neutron emissivity of the crater area by ~0.35% relative to the unperturbed surface. It is unclear what might give rise to this effect, but it may relate to additional surface roughness in the vicinities of craters. The amplitude of the crater-related signal in the neutron count rate is small, but not too small to demand consideration when inferring water-equivalent hydrogen (WEH) weight percentages in polar permanently shaded regions (PSRs). If the crater-wide count rate excess is concentrated into a much smaller PSR, then it can lead to a significantly biased inferred WEH weight percentage. For instance, it may increase the inferred WEH for Cabeus crater at the Moon's South Pole from ~1% to ~4%.

description: The importance of international trade and economic openness is widely agreed in business world and governmental policy makers. The active international trade ensures the business development promoting the comparative advantages of different countries, increases consumption and customers satisfaction, strengthens competition, raises the business efficiency, etc. However, the global slowdown of world’s economics in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic occurred also had the negative impact on international trade development. This research aims to analyse the 2011 – 2020 trends and macroeconomic factors of international trade between European Union (EU-27) and Africa. The research results maintain that the European Union markets are significantly sensitive to the macroeconomic deterioration which has a strong negative impact on industrial production imports from Africa. The regression analysis confirmed that officially predicted economic growth of European Union economy will have positive trends on African production exports to EU-27. The main industries and African countries were highlighted in this research that are expected to have the most benefit from international trade growth with European Union. The impact of main African international trade partner countries’ GDP growth on EU-27 exports to Africa was also analysed. The similarities of African countries importing the most EU-27 production to this continent were revealed.

title: Methadone as indiscipline: The making of the virtuous subject in Kyrgyz prisons
Creators: name: Azbel, Lyuba
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

description: At the core of this PhD is a critical engagement with the project of translation. Methadone treatment, promoted within public health as an essential way to treat opioid addiction and prevent HIV infection among people who inject drugs, presents difficulties for translation into new settings. Post-Soviet prisons, where methadone uptake remains low despite an expanding HIV epidemic, are a particularly challenging, yet important, site for the implementation of methadone treatment. In this thesis, I treat the unique availability of methadone treatment in prisons in Kyrgyzstan, where informal prisoner governance prevails, as an opportunity to scrutinize how Western medical technologies travel. I mobilize materialist readings of governmentality, which provide a powerful conceptual lens for theorizing methadone as a form of, and resource for, governance. This mode of analysis marks a fracture from ‘evidence-based’ medicine—which treats methadone as a singular pharmacological object acting on a human body—to explore, instead, the relational and situated production of substances and bodies. Drawing on fieldwork from three Kyrgyz prisons for men, I argue that methadone, rather than having a presumed entitative status, is enacted through its environment, including the practices of informal prisoner governance. This produces methadone objects and subjects that depart sharply from those proffered by the global evidence base. I demonstrate how an assemblage made up of the prisoner code of conduct, the architecture of prisons, prisoner relations with state governance, and the relations between methadone and other drugs, produces a methadone of ill health and (un)virtuous methadone subjects. I conclude by reflecting on how this research itself is an intervention with ontopolitical effects, working to challenge mainstream conceptualizations of intervention translation in public health. These findings erode monopolistic assumptions of the dualism between evidence and practice to open up space for new interventions to be noticed and made through practice.
