Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: Hypertension is a major cause of premature death in China. Understanding risk factors including behavioural and predisposing factors may help to prevent development of hypertension and control the extent of premature mortality. In this case-control design conducted in Hunan province, 416 hypertensive subjects were matched with an equal number of normotensive persons from nearly 9,000 volunteers. A self-report questionnaire was employed to collect demographic and lifestyle information, and fasting serum biomarkers related to lipid profile, renal function, glucose level and uric acid were assessed. When age and sex were stratified, serum biomarkers such as blood urea nitrogen and triglycerides showed a significant difference for hypertension, while lifestyle behaviours including university degree, alcohol use, Body Mass Index and psychological stress (job and married life) were also associated with hypertension. After adjusting for covariate confounding factors, only elevated triglyceride levels were strongly linked to high blood pressure, odds ratio = 1.55, 95 per cent confidence level = 1.16-2.06. To control high blood pressure, hypertriglyceridemia should be included in hypertension treatment and followed up to assess the substantial risk of cardiovascular diseases.

description: Decisions taken in our everyday lives are based on a wide variety of information so it is generally very difficult to assess what are the strategies that guide us. Stock market therefore provides a rich environment to study how people take decision since responding to market uncertainty needs a constant update of these strategies. For this purpose, we run a lab-in-the-field experiment where volunteers are given a controlled set of financial information -based on real data from worldwide financial indices- and they are required to guess whether the market price would go up or down in each situation. From the data collected we explore basic statistical traits, behavioural biases and emerging strategies. In particular, we detect unintended patterns of behavior through consistent actions which can be interpreted as {\it Market Imitation} and {\it Win-Stay Lose-Shift} emerging strategies, being {\it Market Imitation} the most dominant one. We also observe that these strategies are affected by external factors: the expert advice, the lack of information or an information overload reinforce the use of these intuitive strategies, while the probability to follow them significantly decreases when subjects spends more time to take a decision. The cohort analysis shows that women and children are more prone to use such strategies although their performance is not undermined. Our results are of interest for better handling clients expectations of trading companies, avoiding behavioural anomalies in financial analysts decisions and improving not only the design of markets but also the trading digital interfaces where information is set down. Strategies and behavioural biases observed can also be translated into new agent based modelling or stochastic price dynamics to better understand financial bubbles or the effects of asymmetric risk perception to price drops.

description: The characteristics of the inner layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, are determinant for the earth's life. In this experience we explore the first hundreds of meters using a smartphone mounted on a quadcopter. Both the altitude and the pressure are obtained using the smartphone's sensors. We complement these measures with data collected from the flight information system of an aircraft. The experimental results are compared with the International Standard Atmosphere and other simple approximations: isothermal and constant density atmospheres.

description: The vast majority of extrasolar planets are detected by indirect detection methods such as transit monitoring and radial velocity measurements. While these methods are very successful in detecting short-periodic planets, they are mostly blind to wide sub-stellar or even stellar companions on long orbits. In our study we present high resolution imaging observations of 63 exoplanet hosts carried out with the lucky imaging instrument AstraLux at the Calar Alto 2.2m telescope as well as with the new SPHERE high resolution adaptive optics imager at the ESO/VLT in the case of a known companion of specific interest. Our goal is to study the influence of stellar multiplicity on the planet formation process. We detected and confirmed 4 previously unknown stellar companions to the exoplanet hosts HD197037, HD217786, Kepler-21 and Kepler-68. In addition, we detected 11 new low-mass stellar companion candidates which must still be confirmed as bound companions. We also provide new astrometric and photometric data points for the recently discovered very close binary systems WASP-76 and HD2638. Furthermore, we show for the first time that the previously detected stellar companion to the HD185269 system is a very low mass binary. Finally we provide precise constraints on additional companions for all observed stars in our sample.

description: Spin dephasing by the Dyakonov-Perel mechanism in metallic films deposited on insulating substrates is revealed, and quantitatively examined by means of density functional calculations combined with a kinetic equation. The surface-to-substrate asymmetry, probed by the metal wave functions in thin films, is found to produce strong spin-orbit fields and a fast Larmor precession, giving a dominant contribution to spin decay over the Elliott-Yafet spin relaxation up to a thickness of 70 nm. The spin dephasing is oscillatory in time with a rapid (sub-picosecond) initial decay. However, parts of the Fermi surface act as spin traps, causing a persistent tail signal lasting 1000 times longer than the initial decay time. It is also found that the decay depends on the direction of the initial spin polarization, resulting in a spin-dephasing anisotropy of 200% in the examined cases.

description: The article discusses the impact of external shocks on the volume of Russian household savings in foreign currency as an alternative to Bank deposits method of savings for the period from 2002 to 2014. We use data on the purchase volume and sale of Euro by Central Bank of the Russian Federation to estimate Euro nest egg amount by the population of the regions. We then empirically investigate the relevance of the regions border position on the volume of purchases of Euros by the population. We made a comparative analysis of the dynamics Euro purchase and sale by groups of regions with similar spatial effects during external shocks (the global financial crisis and the beginning of western sanctions against Russia). Our results confirm the existence of a direct relationship between the volume of purchase of Euro and the income of the population. We show (i) that the border with the EU is relevant for determining the volume of Euro purchases by the population (ii) the purchase and sale of Euros in the internal and border regions differ depending on the nature of the external shock.

description: We present muon spin rotation ($μ$SR) and susceptibility measurements on single crystals of isoelectronically doped URu$_{2-x}$T$_x$Si$_2$ (T = Fe, Os) for doping levels up to 50\%. Zero Field (ZF) $μ$SR measurements show long-lived oscillations demonstrating that an antiferromagnetic state exists down to low doping levels for both Os and Fe dopants. The measurements further show an increase in the internal field with doping for both Fe and Os. Comparison of the local moment - hybridization crossover temperature from susceptibility measurements and our magnetic transition temperature shows that changes in hybridization, rather than solely chemical pressure, are important in driving the evolution of magnetic order with doping.

maximal functions

description: The broad theme of the thesis is of geometric maximal functions associated to curved surfaces. We produce novel results about two maximal functions of different types, presented in two parts of the thesis. In the first part (Chapter 2), we study the Lᵖ → Lᵖ boundedness of a lacunary maximal function on a graded homogeneous group. The main theorem of this part generalises the existing maximal results in specific homogeneous groups, such as the Euclidean space and the Heisenberg group. Using an iteration scheme, we estimate the maximal function, assuming that the measure associated to the maximal function satisfies a curvature condition. This second part of this thesis (Chapters 3 and 4) deals with the problem of Lᵖ → Lᵖ boundedness of a Nikodym maximal function in the Euclidean space. The maximal function is defined using a one-parameter family of tubes in Rᵈ⁺¹, whose directions are determined by a non-degenerate curve in Rᵈ. These operators naturally arise in the analysis of maximal averages over space curves. The main theorem generalises the known results for d = 2 and d = 3 to general dimensions.

description: This guide aims to facilitate community management and open governance within DIVINFOOD’s Living Labs through the use of digital tools, as well as to create and sustain networks of actors around these Living Labs. To this end, it first seeks to provide an overview (not exhaustive) of the key digital tools available for community management support, highlighting their main features, strengths, and weaknesses, in order to enable each of the Living Labs to select the most suitable tools for their needs. The document then focuses on proposing practical tutorials for accomplishing essential tasks in community engagement (organizing discussion groups, creating mailing lists, voting on decisions, scheduling meetings, etc.). Beyond DIVINFOOD’s members, it can be a resource for all actors involved in the facilitation of community management and open governance.

description: Neutrino detectors have the proven capability to monitor nuclear reactor power levels and fuel consumption by observing the energy spectrum of neutrinos emitted by the reactor. However, conventional neutrino detection techniques require massive detectors that would be difficult to deploy in the field for nuclear monitoring applications. A new detection method, Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering, requires significantly smaller target mass—kilograms instead of kilotons. Therefore, a deployable nuclear monitoring system based on coherent neutrino scattering would have significantly lower size, weight, and power requirements than competing systems based on conventional neutrino detection techniques. Coherent scattering was recently demonstrated for high-energy neutrinos from a spallation source. However, detecting the low-energy neutrinos produced in nuclear reactors will require significant improvements in sensor technology.
 The Ricochet collaboration aims to perform the first detection of reactor neutrinos via coherent neutrino scattering. Our approach relies on arrays of TES bolometers specifically optimized to measure extremely low recoil energies in the range of 10-50 eV. In this talk, we will describe our efforts at MIT Lincoln Laboratory to develop circuits for microwave multiplexed readout of these highly-sensitive bolometric detectors. DISTRIBUTION STATEMENT A.

description: General half-BPS A-type boundary conditions are formulated for N=2 supersymmetric field theories on compact 3-manifolds with boundary. We observe that under suitable conditions manifolds of the real A-type admitting two complex supersymmetries (related by charge conjugation) possess, besides a contact structure, a natural integrable toric foliation. A boundary, or a general co-dimension-1 defect, can be inserted along any leaf of this preferred foliation to produce manifolds with boundary that have the topology of a solid torus. We show that supersymmetric field theories on such manifolds can be endowed with half-BPS A-type boundary conditions. We specify the natural curved space generalization of the A-type projection of bulk supersymmetries and analyze the resulting A-type boundary conditions in generic 3d non-linear sigma models and YM/CS-matter theories.

description: The Artmann formula provides an accurate determination of the Goos-Haenchen lateral displacement in terms of the light wavelength, refractive index and incidence angle. In the total reflection region, this formula is widely used in the literature and confirmed by experiments. Nevertheless, for incidence at critical angle, it tends to infinity and numerical calculations are needed to reproduce the experimental data. In this paper, we overcome the divergence problem at critical angle and find, for Gaussian beams, a closed formula in terms of modified Bessel functions of the first kind. The formula is in excellent agreement with numerical calculations and reproduces, for incidence angles greater than critical ones, the Artmann formula. The closed form also allows one to understand how the breaking of symmetry in the angular distribution is responsible for the difference between measurements done by considering the maximum and the mean value of the beam intensity. The results obtained in this study clearly show the Goos-Haenchen lateral displacement dependence on the angular distribution shape of the incoming beam. Finally, we also present a brief comparison with experimental data and other analytical formulas found in the literature.

description: Background: The incidence rate of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is increasing in several countries despite that public health measures are put in place. Given that COVID-19 is a newly emerging disease, there is little knowledge about the disease. The present study aims to assess knowledge, perception, and preventive practices toward COVID-19 among health workers in Tigray, North Ethiopia. Materials and Methods: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among health professionals working in public hospitals. Data were collected between April and May 2020. The researchers included 403 participants and recruited them via a simple random sampling technique. To collect data, the researchers prepared a structured questionnaire guided by the WHO survey questions. Data were entered into Epi-info 7 and exported to SPSS version 20.00 for analysis. The researchers applied descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Tables and graphs were used to describe data, and multivariate binary logistic regression was used to determine factors affecting knowledge, perception, and practices toward COVID-19 prevention. Results: Among the participants, 79, 88, and 64.3% of them had adequate knowledge, positive perception, and good practice toward preventing COVID-19, respectively. Besides, 92% of the study participants knew that the COVID-19 virus does not have curative treatment and vaccine. The findings revealed that 55% of the respondents did not use the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times. The result showed that being female [AOR: 2.43, 95% CI (1.50–3.94)] and having a work experience of 2–5 years [AOR: 2.44, 95% CI (1.10–5.39)], news media as a source information [AOR: 7.11, 95% CI (3.07–16.49)], social media as a source information [AOR: 4.59, 95% CI (2.15–9.84)], and governmental website as a source information [AOR: 4.21, 95% CI (2.15–8.27)] were reported as protective factors; and being single [AOR: 0.15, 95% CI (0.03–0.75)] was reported as risk factor toward the prevention of COVID-19. Conclusion: Most health workers had adequate knowledge and positive attitude toward COVID-19; nevertheless, a significant proportion of health workers had poor practice toward the prevention of COVID-19, including the use of PPE. Additionally, some groups of health professional showed poor practices of implementing the public health measures, hence the call for them to improve in the prevention and control of COVID-19.

description: In the last few years, the Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) has come to be an important area of research. Significant research has been conducted to improve the performance of VANETS. One output of further research conducted on VANET is the Vehicular Delay Tolerant Network (VDTN). It is an application of the mobile DTN where nodes relay messages in the network using a store-carry-forward approach. Due to its high mobility, it suffers frequent disconnections and also congestions at nodes which leads to message drops. To minimize the rate of message drops and so optimize the probability of message delivery so that drivers are increasingly aware of the situation of the road, we propose a congestion control mechanism: Congestion Aware Spray and Wait (CASaW) protocol in this work so as to optimize the rate of message delivery to its destination and so increase the awareness of drivers in the vehicular environment thereby improve road safety. The results have shown that our proposition performed better than other classical VDTN protocols in terms of message delivery probability and rate of packet drops performance measures. We used the Opportunistic Networking Environment (ONE) simulator to implement the classical VDTN protocols: the PROPHET protocol, the Epidemic protocol, the MaxProp protocol and the Spray and Wait Protocol. The simulation scenarios shows a better performance for the congestion control mechanism we propose as it maintains a good message delivery rate as well as minimize the rate of packet losses thereby optimizing the chances of messages getting to their destinations and so improve road safety.

description: Global warming is already impacting the activities of many sectors of the economy. We studied this influence on forestry, particularly, temporary road infrastructure used for logging in winter. The goal of the paper is to investigate the relationship between the wood removal volumes and timing of operations temporary infrastructure in the different climate zones. We tested hypotheses for the dependence of wood removal on: a) annual allowable cut b) road density c) road density except wetlands. This paper used the data covers 1999-2009 and the territory of the Republic of Karelia. We examined two types of winter temporary road (ice roads and snow-ice roads) and two versions of their lifetime (earlier and later construction). The investigation made use of panel model with the fixed effects. Also we used one-way analysis of variance (ANOWA) to explain the territorial effects. Our main findings are that the volume depends on the type and lifetime versions of winter roads. One day winter road operation increases monthly volume of wood removal by 1485-1746 m3. We have determined the territory that is the most vulnerable to climate warming. This approach is suitable for identifying areas where should be increase road density to avoid deforestation. It can be applied to justify the state co-financing of forest road construction and to develop adaptation measures for forestry and forest industry of to climate warming.

description: CLEAN algorithms are a class of deconvolution solvers which are widely used to remove the effect of the telescope Point Spread Function (PSF). Loop gain is one important parameter in CLEAN algorithms. Currently the parameter is fixed during deconvolution, which restricts the performance of CLEAN algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new deconvolution algorithm with an adaptive loop gain scheme, which is referred to as the adaptive-loop-gain adaptivescale CLEAN (Algas-Clean) algorithm. The test results show that the new algorithm can give a more accurate model with faster convergence.

description: The WAFFLE campaign is a short field experiment originally conducted to provide data for initial investigations into minute-scale wind forecasting.
 A single long-range scanning lidar was deployed behind DTU's V52 research wind turbine at Risø test site in Denmark. Plan position indicator (PPI) scans were performed facing west to measure the dominant inflow to the test site.
 This dataset was used in an applied workshop at the EAWE PhD seminar in Belgium. The presentation file and code notebooks are available in the related publications link.
 A complete written description of the experiment will be available in a forthcoming PhD thesis by Elliot Simon.
 The dataset includes: Scanning lidar observations, wind turbine SCADA from the V52 wind turbine, and met-mast observations directly in front (west) of the turbine.
 This is an original dataset. The lidar portion represents a level 2.3 data product in the FAIR lidar data schematics, that is geo-located radial velocities stored in NetCDF files with dimensions of time, range and line-of-sight number. The wind turbine and mast data formats are labelled HDF5 files.

description: The experimental value of ${\rm H_{3}S}$ isotope coefficient decreases from $2.37$ to $0.31$ in the pressure range from $130$ GPa to $200$ GPa. We have shown that the value of $0.31$ is correctly reproduced in the framework of the classical Eliashberg approach. On the other hand, the anomalously large value of the isotope coefficient ($2.37$) may be associated with the strong renormalization of the normal state by the electron density of states.

description: Due to the heterogeneity of data, methods, experiments, and research questions and the necessity to describe flexible and short-lived setups, no widely used subject-specific metadata schemata or terminologies have been established for the field of engineering (as well as for other disciplines facing similar challenges). Nevertheless, it is highly desirable to realize consistent and machine-actionable documentation of research data via structured metadata. In this article, we introduce a way to create subject specific RDF-compliant metadata profiles (in the sense of SHACL shapes) that allow precise and flexible documentation of research processes and data. We introduce a hierarchical inheritance concept for the profiles that we combine with a strategy that uses composition of relatively simple modular profiles to model complex setups. As a result, the individual profiles are highly reusable and can be applied in different contexts, which, in turn, increases the interoperability of the resulting data. We also demonstrate that it is possible to achieve a level of detail that is sufficiently specific for most applications, even when only general terms are available within existing terminologies, avoiding the need to create highly specific terminologies that would only have limited reusability.

description: We consider localised bulging/necking in an inflated hyperelastic membrane tube with closed ends. We first show that the initiation pressure for the onset of localised bulging is simply the limiting pressure in uniform inflation when the axial force is held fixed. We then demonstrate analytically how, as inflation continues, the initial bulge grows continually in diameter until it reaches a critical size and then propagates in both directions. The bulging solution before propagation starts is of the solitary-wave type, whereas the propagating bulging solution is of the kink-wave type. The stability, with respect to axially symmetric perturbations, of both the solitary-wave type and the kink-wave type solutions is studied by computing the Evans function using the compound matrix method. It is found that when the inflation is pressure-controlled, the Evans function has a single non-negative real root and this root tends to zero only when the initiation pressure or the propagation pressure is approached. Thus, the kink-wave type solution is probably stable but the solitary-wave type solution is definitely unstable.

description: The benefits of contrast-enhancing imaging probes have become apparent over the past decade. However, there is a gap in the literature when it comes to the assessment of the phototoxic potential of imaging probes and systems emitting visible and/or near-infrared radiation. The primary mechanism of fluorescent agent phototoxicity is thought to involve the production of reactive molecular species (RMS), yet little has been published on the best practices for safety evaluation of RMS production levels for clinical products. We have proposed methods involving a cell-free assay to quantify singlet oxygen [(SO) a known RMS] generation of imaging probes, and performed testing of Indocyanine Green (ICG), Proflavine, Methylene Blue, IR700 and IR800 at clinically relevant concentrations and radiant exposures. Results indicated that SO production from IR800 and ICG were more than two orders of magnitude below that of the known SO generator Rose Bengal. Methylene Blue and IR700 produced much higher SO levels than ICG and IR800. These results were in good agreement with data from the literature. While agents that exhibit spectral overlap with the assay may be more prone to errors, our tests for one of these agents (Proflavine) appeared robust. Overall, our results indicate that this methodology shows promise for assessing the phototoxic potential of fluorophores due to SO production.
Are you prepared for the next storm? Developing social normsmessages to motivate community members to perform disasterrisk mitigation behaviors

description: Preparing for natural disasters and adapting to climate change can save lives. Yet, minimal research has examined how governments can motivate community members to prepare for disasters (e.g., purchasing flood insurance or installing water barriers in homes for floods and hurricanes). Instead, studies have focused on how to communicate actions individuals should take during disasters, rather than before disasters. This study develops messages targeting social norms, which are promising approaches to motivate community members to adopt disaster risk preparedness and mitigation behaviors. Specifically, we developed a variety of messages integrating descriptive norms (i.e., what others do), injunctive norms (i.e., what others believe should be done), and a social norms-based fear appeal, or social disapproval rationale (i.e., a negative social result of [not] taking behaviors). Then, we tested these messages through two between-subject factorial online experiments in flood- and hurricane-prone U.S. states with adult samples (N = 2,286). In experiment 1 (i.e., purchasing flood insurance), the injunctive norms message using weather forecasters and the social disapproval rationale message significantly increased social norms perceptions, which in turn influenced behavioral intentions. In experiment 2 (i.e., installing water barriers), the injunctive norms message using weather forecasters, the injunctive norms message using neighbors, and the social disapproval rationale message significantly increased social norms perceptions, which in turn influenced mitigation intentions. However, the descriptive social norms message was not effective in increasing social norms perceptions. We provide some of the first empirical evidence on how organizations’ risk communication can empower community members to prepare and mitigate the impact of disasters.

description: We study a stochastic control system involving both a standard and a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter less than 1/2. We apply an anticipative Girsanov transformation to transform the system into another one, driven only by the standard Brownian motion with coefficients depending on both the fractional Brownian motion and the standard Brownian motion. We derive a maximum principle and the associated stochastic variational inequality, which both are generalizations of the classical case.

description: Background Despite the tenets of rights-based, person-centered maternity care, racialized groups, low-income people, and people who receive Medicaid insurance in the United States experience mistreatment, discrimination, and disrespectful care more often than people with higher income or who identify as white. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the presence of a doula (a person who provides continuous support during childbirth) and respectful care during birth, especially for groups made vulnerable by systemic inequality. Methods We used data from 1977 women interviewed in the Listening to Mothers in California survey (2018). Respondents who reported high levels of decision making, support, and communication during childbirth were classified as having “high” respectful care. To examine associations between respectful care and self-reported doula support, we conducted multivariable logistic regressions. Interactions by race/ethnicity and private or Medi-Cal (Medicaid) insurance status were assessed. Results Overall, we found higher odds of respectful care among women supported by a doula than those without such support (odds ratios [OR]: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.0–1.8). By race/ethnicity, the association was largest for non-Hispanic Black women (2.7 [1.1–6.7]) and Asian/Pacific Islander women (2.3 [0.9–5.6]). Doula support predicts higher odds of respectful care among women with Medi-Cal (1.8 [1.3–2.5]), but not private insurance. Conclusions Doula support was associated with high respectful care, particularly for low-income and certain racial/ethnic groups in California. Policies supporting the expansion of doulas for low-income and marginalized groups are consistent with the right to respectful care and may address disparities in maternal experiences.
