description: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is crucial for the growth and survival of regulatory T cells (Treg), and thus for the control of autoimmunity. In previous studies we have proven the significance of an acquired IL-2 deficiency and related Treg defects in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

description: We provide an explicit description of the primitive ideals of the enveloping algebra $\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty))$ of the infinite-dimensional finitary Lie algebra $\frak{sl}(\infty)$ over an uncountable algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Our main new result is that any primitive ideal of $\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty))$ is integrable. A classification of integrable primitive ideals of $\operatorname{U}(\frak{sl}(\infty))$ has been known previously, and relies on the pioneering work of A. Zhilinskii.

description: We analyze theoretically the charging current into, and the transport current through, a nanoscale two-dimensional electron system with two parallel quantum dots embedded in a short wire placed in a photon cavity. A plunger gate is used to place specific many-body states of the interacting system in the bias window defined by the external leads. We show how the transport phenomena active in the many-level complex central system strongly depend on the gate voltage. We identify a resonant transport through the central system as the two spin components of the one-electron ground state are in the bias window. This resonant transport through the lowest energy electron states seems to a large extent independent of the detuned photon field when judged from the transport current. This could be expected in the small bias regime, but an observation of the occupancy of the states of the system reveals that this picture is not entirely true. The current does not reflect slower photon-active internal transitions bringing the system into the steady state. The number of initially present photons determines when the system reaches the real steady state. With two-electron states in the bias window we observe a more complex situation with intermediate radiative and nonradiative relaxation channels leading to a steady state with a weak nonresonant current caused by inelastic tunneling through the two-electron ground state of the system. The presence of the radiative channels makes this phenomena dependent on the number of photons initially in the cavity.

description: Gradient descent dynamics in complex energy landscapes, i.e. featuring multiple minima, finds application in many different problems, from soft matter to machine learning. Here, we analyze one of the simplest examples, namely that of soft repulsive particles in the limit of infinite spatial dimension $d$. The gradient descent dynamics then displays a jamming transition: at low density, it reaches zero-energy states in which particles' overlaps are fully eliminated, while at high density the energy remains finite and overlaps persist. At the transition, the dynamics becomes critical. In the $d\to \infty$ limit, a set of self-consistent dynamical equations can be derived via mean field theory. We analyze these equations and we present some partial progress towards their solution. We also study the Random Lorentz Gas in a range of $d=2\ldots 22$, and obtain a robust estimate for the jamming transition in $d\to\infty$. The jamming transition is analogous to the capacity transition in supervised learning, and in the appendix we discuss this analogy in the case of a simple one-layer fully-connected perceptron.

description: Social bots have become an important component of online social media. Deceptive bots, in particular, can manipulate online discussions of important issues ranging from elections to public health, threatening the constructive exchange of information. Their ubiquity makes them an interesting research subject and requires researchers to properly handle them when conducting studies using social media data. Therefore, it is important for researchers to gain access to bot detection tools that are reliable and easy to use. This paper aims to provide an introductory tutorial of Botometer, a public tool for bot detection on Twitter, for readers who are new to this topic and may not be familiar with programming and machine learning. We introduce how Botometer works, the different ways users can access it, and present a case study as a demonstration. Readers can use the case study code as a template for their own research. We also discuss recommended practice for using Botometer.

Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this paper is to examine the strategic integration of HRM practices with business strategy in Addis Ababa private general hospitals. Based on the matching model this study focuses on the four HRM practices, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance and reward management. The study was explanatory research and explained the casual relationship of independent and dependent variables. The study was census and used self-administered questionnaire to gather the data; and overall 99 questionnaires from 18 private hospitals returned and analysed for a response rate of 85.3%. The respondents were all managers of the hospitals. Analysis of questionnaire response shows except recruitment and selection (mean=3.70) which is highly effective practice the other three HR practices (training and development mean=3.27, performance mean=3.31and reward mean=2.96) are in medium effective level. But strategic integration of HRM practices has been adopted by the private general hospitals and the study finding showed that the relationship between HRM practices and business strategy(differentiation, Cost) is positive and statistically significant with a p value of 0.000 for all the four HRM practices; In addition, top management support found important determinant of HRM functions and business strategy integration. And the result showed that Business strategy of the private hospitals affects the HRM practices. This paper provides some insights into approaches to strategic integration of HRM practices in Addis Ababa private general hospitals. Finally it is recommended that the private hospitals HRM practices should have strategic approach, in order to strengthen the HRM practices. Creating awareness about the HRM practices through meetings is important for the implementation and the success of HRM practices. And top manager's support and cascading down the business strategy and the HR strategy to line managers ensures the acceleration of HR practices implementation. Having consistent HRM practices and good documentation system helps to improve the best HR practices and integration
STROKE: awareness of risk factors for stroke, quality of stroke care and outcomes after stroke
Creators: name: Kilkenny, Monique
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis represents a series of papers that cover the spectrum of stroke prevention and treatment, from awareness of risk factors for stroke to the quality of acute stroke care for patients with stroke in Australia. The papers include data from a large-scale health promotion program, as well as from national hospital audits and a clinical quality registry. Each source of data has strengths and limitations. This body of work contributes new knowledge across this spectrum for one of the leading causes of global disease burden. The quality and importance of the research is highlighted by the fact that five of the papers were accepted in international journals with important standing in the field. The individual papers presented in this thesis have been published (or submitted to) high-profile, high-impact peer reviewed journals, which reinforces that these papers represent a significant body of work which individually and collectively have advanced knowledge in the area of stroke. Papers within this thesis have provided evidence that the health promotion initiative called the “Know your numbers” (KYN) Program, undertaken by the National Stroke Foundation (NSF), is a successful model for improving awareness of risk factors for stroke: - The KYN Program is a feasible and acceptable method of raising awareness of hypertension and diabetes in the Australian community. - The KYN Program can improve awareness of risk factors for hypertension and stroke among participants. - Participants in the KYN Program were effectively prompted to modify their cardiovascular risk. The KYN Program also provided evidence that: - one in two participants were at ‘high risk’ of developing diabetes - Non-invasive diabetes screening was an acceptable method for assessing risk of diabetes as part of opportunistic health checks in community pharmacies. Papers within this thesis have also provided evidence of how the quality of acute stroke care can influence outcomes for patients with stroke: - There are potential modifiable and non-modifiable factors associated with readmission after stroke. - Severe complications, which are potentially modifiable, were independently associated with readmission within 28 days of stroke. - Patients with transient ischaemic attack who had a large number of comorbidities and who present to emergency department multiple times before admission for stroke and were more likely to be readmitted within one year of stroke. - There are inequalities in the quality of care for Indigenous patients with stroke compared to non-Indigenous patients and, subsequently, poorer outcomes for Indigenous patients with stroke. The papers in this thesis have contributed to the aims of the World Stroke Organisation to foster the best standards of practice for patients with stroke and increasing stroke awareness among the Australian population.

description: Rota-Baxter operators for groups were recently introduced by L. Guo, H. Lang, and Y. Sheng. V. G. Bardakov and V. Gubarev showed that with each Rota-Baxter operator one can associate a skew brace. Skew braces on a group $G$ can be characterised in terms of certain gamma functions from $G$ to its automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$, that are defined by a functional equation. For the skew braces obtained from a Rota-Baxter operator the corresponding gamma functions take values in the inner automorphism group $\operatorname{Inn}(G)$ of $G$. In this paper, we give a characterisation of the gamma functions on a group $G$, with values in $\operatorname{Inn}(G)$, that come from a Rota-Baxter operator, in terms of the vanishing of a certain element in a suitable second cohomology group. Exploiting this characterisation, we are able to exhibit examples of skew braces whose corresponding gamma functions take values in the inner automorphism group, but cannot be obtained from a Rota--Baxter operator. For gamma functions that can be obtained from a Rota-Baxter operators, we show how to get the latter from the former, exploiting the knowledge that a suitable central group extension splits.

description: We study the nonequilibrium exciton-polariton condensation in 1D to 0D and 1D to 2D junctions by means of non-resonant spectroscopy. The shape of our potential landscape allows to probe the resonant transmission of a propagating condensate between a quasi-1D waveguide and cylindrically symmetric states. We observe a distinct mode selection by varying the position of the non-resonant pump laser. Moreover, we study the the case of propagation from a localized trapped condensate state into a waveguide channel. Here, the choice of the position of the injection laser allows us to tune the output in the waveguide. Our measurements are supported by an accurate Ginzburg-Landau modeling of the system shining light on the underlying mechanisms.

description: The recent interior point algorithm by Dahl and Andersen [10] for nonsymmetric cones as well as earlier works [16,19] require derivative information from the conjugate of the barrier function of the cones in the problem. Besides a few special cases, there is no indication of when this information is efficient to evaluate. We show how to compute the gradient of the conjugate barrier function for seven useful nonsymmetric cones. In some cases this is helpful for deriving closed-form expressions for the inverse Hessian operator for the primal barrier.

description: We propose a combinatorial solution for the problem of non-rigidly matching a 3D shape to 3D image data. To this end, we model the shape as a triangular mesh and allow each triangle of this mesh to be rigidly transformed to achieve a suitable matching to the image. By penalising the distance and the relative rotation between neighbouring triangles our matching compromises between image and shape information. In this paper, we resolve two major challenges: Firstly, we address the resulting large and NP-hard combinatorial problem with a suitable graph-theoretic approach. Secondly, we propose an efficient discretisation of the unbounded 6-dimensional Lie group SE(3). To our knowledge this is the first combinatorial formulation for non-rigid 3D shape-to-image matching. In contrast to existing local (gradient descent) optimisation methods, we obtain solutions that do not require a good initialisation and that are within a bound of the optimal solution. We evaluate the proposed method on the two problems of non-rigid 3D shape-to-shape and non-rigid 3D shape-to-image registration and demonstrate that it provides promising results.

description: An Aberdeen Group survey 2004(as cited by Markus, 2004) of Supervisor and non-supervisor employees in service organizations found that 99% had some form of performance evaluation. Recent surveys show the high rate of change that performance management systems are not satisfactory in most businesses (Leanne 2004). This research seeks to identify the factors that have contributed towards relatively low level of implementation of performance management systems compared with the expectation of the top management. The role of employees, management style, the organization culture and structure in the implementation of performance management was identified to establish their contribution towards effective and efficient performance management systems. This research sought to contribute towards improved implementation of performance management systems in organizations and contribute towards the body of knowledge in the area of implementation of performance management. The population of this study comprised of 232 Supervisors and 1,113 non-supervisory employees of Wegagen Bank (WB). The study adopted descriptive survey design to collect data on the issues relating to the role of employees, culture, and structure and management style in the implementation of performance management system. The study concludes that employees understand what is expected of them to perform optimally. The respondents agreed that in this organization, employees are committed to their work and are keen on improving, but also employees know how their goals contribute to the organization objective, there is a clear career path for members of staff in this organization, the flow of information and communication within and across function is smooth in this organization as well as everyone in this organization knows what they are responsible for and how they contribute to the organization. The study concludes that employees understand what is expected of them to perform optimally. The study further concludes that the role of employees is considered important in the implementation of performance management in organization although not highly. The study recommends that the role of employees should be improved performance

description: We provide mutual elementary recursive order isomorphisms between classical ordinal notations, based on Skolem hulling, and notations from pure elementary patterns of resemblance of order $2$, showing that the latter characterize the proof-theoretic ordinal of the fragment $Π^1_1$-$\mathrm{CA}_0$ of second order number theory, or equivalently the set theory $\mathrm{KPl}_0$. As a corollary, we prove that Carlson's result on the well-quasi orderedness of respecting forests of order $2$ implies transfinite induction up to the ordinal of $\mathrm{KPl}_0$. We expect that our approach will facilitate analysis of more powerful systems of patterns.

description: Unconventional superconductors have been long sought for their potential applications in quantum technologies and devices. A key challenge impeding this effort is the difficulty associated with probing and characterizing candidate materials and establishing their order parameter. In this Letter, we present a platform that allows us to spectroscopically probe unconventional superconductivity in thin-layer materials via the proximity effect. We show that inducing an s-wave gap in a sample with an intrinsic d-wave instability leads to the formation of bound-states of quasiparticle pairs, which manifest as a collective mode in the d-wave channel. This finding provides a way to study the underlying pairing interactions vicariously through the collective mode spectrum of the system. Upon further cooling of the system we observe that this mode softens considerably and may even condense, signaling the onset of time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity. Therefore, our proposal also allows for the creation and study of these elusive unconventional states.

description: Let $m\ge3$ be an integer. The polygonal numbers of order $m+2$ are given by $p_{m+2}(n)=m\binom n2+n$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. A famous claim of Fermat proved by Cauchy asserts that each nonnegative integer is the sum of $m+2$ polygonal numbers of order $m+2$. For $(a,b)=(1,1),(2,2),(1,3),(2,4)$, we study whether any sufficiently large integer can be expressed as $$p_{m+2}(x_1) + p_{m+2}(x_2) + ap_{m+2}(x_3) + bp_{m+2}(x_4)$$ with $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4$ nonnegative integers. We show that the answer is positive if $(a,b)\in\{(1,3),(2,4)\}$, or $(a,b)=(1,1)\ \&\ 4\mid m$, or $(a,b)=(2,2)\ \&\ m\not\equiv 2\pmod 4$. In particular, we confirm a conjecture of Z.-W. Sun which states that any natural number can be written as $p_6(x_1) + p_6(x_2) + 2p_6(x_3) + 4p_6(x_4)$ with $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4$ nonnegative integers.

description: We theoretically propose a unifying expression for synchronization dynamics between two-level constituents. Although synchronization phenomena require some substantial mediators, the distinct repercussions of their propagation delays remain obscure, especially in open systems. Our scheme directly incorporates the details of the constituents and mediators in an arbitrary environment. As one example, we demonstrate the synchronization dynamics of optical emitters on a dielectric microsphere. We reveal that the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) bridge the well-separated emitters and accelerate the synchronized fluorescence, known as superfluorescence. The emitters are found to overcome the significant and nonuniform retardation, and to build up their pronounced coherence by the WGMs, striking a balance between the roles of resonator and intermediary. Our work directly illustrates the dynamical aspects of many-body synchronizations and contributes to the exploration of research paradigms that consider designed open systems.

description: The subreddit r/The_Donald was repeatedly denounced as a toxic and misbehaving online community, reasons for which it faced a sequence of increasingly constraining moderation interventions by Reddit administrators. It was quarantined in June 2019, restricted in February 2020, and finally banned in June 2020, but despite precursory work on the matter, the effects of this sequence of interventions are still unclear. In this work, we follow a multidimensional causal inference approach to study data containing more than 15M posts made in a time frame of 2 years, to examine the effects of such interventions inside and outside of the subreddit. We find that the interventions greatly reduced the activity of problematic users. However, the interventions also caused an increase in toxicity and led users to share more polarized and less factual news. In addition, the restriction had stronger effects than the quarantine, and core users of r/The_Donald suffered stronger effects than the rest of users. Overall, our results provide evidence that the interventions had mixed effects and paint a nuanced picture of the consequences of community-level moderation strategies. We conclude by reflecting on the challenges of policing online platforms and on the implications for the design and deployment of moderation interventions.

description: In the current dynamic business world, organizations are always in searching different strategy to enhance their organizational performance and outsourcing becomes one of the widely embraced business strategies. However, in spite of the increasing trend in outsourcing arrangements, there are inadequate literature underpinnings on how outsourcing non-core business activities affect organization performance in different sector and the same is true in ECX. In order to bridge that gap this research sought to study the effects of outsourcing noncore business activities on organization performance in ECX. The researcher used descriptive and inferential research design method in carrying out his study. The study targeted a population of 682 staff from 11 departments. The researcher used stratified sampling method to pick sample respondents. Data was collected from primary sources through survey method by use of questionnaires and interview of the top level management. The data was quantitatively analyzed based on research objectives by using of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 software. Both correlation and regression analysis were done. The study findings revealed that, though all of the dimensions of outsourcing non-core business practices have statistically significant positive relationship with organizational performance, service quality and communication was found to have no statistically significant predictive power on organizational performance of ECX, while the remaining two dimension, cost reduction and employee commitment, have found to have a statistically significant predictive power on organizational performance of ECX. Based on the study findings, the researcher recommended that: ECX should be more strict in following the deployment of committed outsource staff by designing competency framework which can ensure employees commitment and that can be strictly followed and meet by the outsource company in deploying employees which provide the outsourced noncore business activity of the Exchange, and ECX should not outsource an activity until they have confirmed that the service provider is capable of handling the activity with minimum reasonable cost in the way that can meet cost reduction objective of outsourcing

description: In this work, we study active particles with prescribed surface velocities in non-Newtonian fluids. We employ the reciprocal theorem to obtain the velocity of an active spherical particle with an arbitrary axisymmetric slip-velocity in an otherwise quiescent second-order fluid. We then determine how the motion of a diffusiophoretic Janus particle is affected by complex fluid rheology, namely viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity, compared to a Newtonian fluid, assuming a fixed slip-velocity. We find that a Janus particle may go faster or slower in a viscoelastic fluid, but is always slower in a shear-thinning fluid as compared to a Newtonian fluid.

description: The Data Supermarket is a repository of data about the ingredients, food and fibre we can grow in New Zealand, now and in the future.
It includes information about a wide variety of vegetable, fruit, arable, animal, plant and tree crops, plus climate and economic data. The wide range of new datasets provide a broad understanding of the benefits and consequences of many land use opportunities.
Datasets contain information on suitability, yield maps, climate change impacts and economic information. This reliable and robust data is freely available to help New Zealand's primary sector identify a much greater range of suitable land opportunities.
These are national-scale data and are suitable for screening and to help inform conversation. This data could be used to create a short-list of potential land-use options that may be feasible, to consider as candidates for in-depth business cases from local experts.
Each dataset includes information about its limitations and how the data was produced, and most include GIS layers. Access to GIS software is required to use these.
Data is open-access and suitable for New Zealand use only. The information can be downloaded for use in third-party tools.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Implementation of HRM by line supervisors could positively impact employees' satisfaction, attitudes and job behaviours which are directly related to the achievement of continuous improvement in the performance of an organization. The primary objective of this research has been to analyze the role of line supervisors in the implementation of human resource management policies and practices in the case of Sheraton Addis Luxury Collection Hotel. Data was collected from 57 line supervisors and 281 employees of the hotel, whilst the study covered 33 outlets or sections and it employed self- administrated questionnaires. The data collection involved all line superiors and those employees who were selected from all outlets using a quota sampling method .Two types of online questionnaires were administrated for supervisors and employees, respectively. The first part of both questionnaires focused on demographic information of the respondents. The second part focused on those variables that measure the effectiveness of line supervisors as implementers of HRM policies and practices. Outlets were the major unit of analysis of the study. The result of the study indicated that the HRM-related competence of line supervisors, the time provided to handle HRM-related responsibilities and the support they obtain from HR department varies across outlets. However, on average, line supervisors do not provided time to handle HRM responsibilities. However; they are satisfied with the support they obtain from the HR department as well as about their own HRM-related competences. The study also gave insight on the negative impact a long span of control has on the HR related effectiveness of line supervisors. Although employees are satisfied with the HRM-related performance of their respective line supervisors, only 24% of outlets employees are engaged to their direct supervisors. To fill the gap in employee engagement to their direct supervisors the study recommended specific training regarding the core HR activities, measures towards enhancing the HRM related capacity of line supervisors, optimizing the span of control and institutionalizing integrated HRM systems in order to achieve and maintain best organizational performance.
