description: Background: Area deprivation has been shown to be associated with various adverse health outcomes including communicable as well as non-communicable diseases. Our objective was to assess potential associations between area deprivation and COVID-19 standardized incidence and mortality ratios in Bavaria over a period of nearly 2 years. Bavaria is the federal state with the highest infection dynamics in Germany and demographically comparable to several other European countries. Methods: In this retrospective, observational ecological study, we estimated the strength of associations between area deprivation and standardized COVID-19 incidence and mortality ratios (SIR and SMR) in Bavaria, Germany. We used official SARS-CoV-2 reporting data aggregated in monthly periods between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Area deprivation was assessed using the quintiles of the 2015 version of the Bavarian Index of Multiple Deprivation (BIMD 2015) at district level, analyzing the overall index as well as its single domains. Results: Deprived districts showed higher SIR and SMR than less deprived districts. Aggregated over the whole period, the SIR increased by 1.04 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.01 to 1.07, p = 0.002), and the SMR by 1.11 (95% CI: 1.07 to 1.16, p < 0.001) per BIMD quintile. This represents a maximum difference of 41% between districts in the most and least deprived quintiles in the SIR and 110% in the SMR. Looking at individual months revealed clear linear association between the BIMD quintiles and the SIR and SMR in the first, second and last quarter of 2021. In the summers of 2020 and 2021, infection activity was low. Conclusions: In more deprived areas in Bavaria, Germany, higher incidence and mortality ratios were observed during the COVID-19 pandemic with particularly strong associations during infection waves 3 and 4 in 2020/2021. Only high infection levels reveal the effect of risk factors and socioeconomic inequalities. There may be confounding between the highly deprived areas and border regions in the north and east of Bavaria, making the relationship between area deprivation and infection burden more complex. Vaccination appeared to balance incidence and mortality rates between the most and least deprived districts. Vaccination makes an important contribution to health equality.

description: The JEM-EUSO observatory on board of the International Space Station (ISS) is a proposed pioneering space mission devoted to the investigation of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs). Looking downward at the earth's atmosphere with a 60$^\circ$ Field of View (FoV), the JEM-EUSO telescope will detect the fluorescence and Cherenkov UV emission from UHECR induced Extensive Air Showers (EAS) penetrating in the atmosphere. The capability of reconstructing the properties of the primary cosmic ray depends on the accurate measurement of the atmospheric conditions in the region of EAS development. The Atmospheric Monitoring system of JEM-EUSO will continuously monitor the atmosphere at the location of the EAS candidates and between the EAS and the JEM-EUSO telescope. With an UV LIDAR and an Infrared (IR) Camera the system will monitor the cloud cover and retrieve the cloud top altitude with an accuracy of $\sim$ 500 m and the optical depth profile of the atmosphere with an accuracy of $Δτ\leq$ 0.15 and a resolution of 500 m. In this contribution the Atmospheric Monitoring system of JEM-EUSO will be presented. After a brief description of the system, the capability to recover the cloud top height and optical depth and to reconstruct the shower profile will be shown based on satellites data and simulation studies.

description: Bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) is an infectious disease of the hoof in cattle with multifactorial etiology and a polygenic influence on susceptibility. With our study, we identified genomic regions with the impact on occurrence and development of BDD. We used 5,040 genotyped animals with phenotype information based on the M-stage system for genome-wide association. Significant associations for single-nucleotide polymorphisms were found near genes CMPK2 (chromosome 11) and ASB16 (chromosome 19) both being implicated in immunological processes. A sequence analysis of the chromosomal regions revealed rs208894039 and rs109521151 polymorphisms as having significant influence on susceptibility to the disease. Specific genotypes were significantly more likely to be affected by BDD and developed chronic lesions. Our study provides an insight into the genomic background for a genetic predisposition related to the pathogenesis of BDD. Results might be implemented in cattle-breeding programs and could pave the way for the establishment of a BDD prescreening test.

description: We study the transfer of heat in the non-equilibrium spin-boson model with an Ohmic dissipation. In the non-adiabatic limit we derive a formula for the thermal conductance based on a rate equation formalism at the level of the non-interacting blip approximation, valid for temperatures $T>T_K$, with $T_K$ as the Kondo temperature. We evaluate this expression analytically assuming either weak or strong couplings, and demonstrate that our results agree with exact relations. Far-from-equilibrium situations are further examined, showing a close correspondence to the linear response limit.

description: We present an analysis of the detached eclipsing binaries V44 and V54 belonging to the globular cluster M55. For V54 we obtain the following absolute parameters: $M_p=0.726\pm 0.015\,M_\odot$, $R_p=1.006\pm 0.009\,R_\odot$, $L_p=1.38\pm 0.07\,L_\odot$ for the primary, and $M_s=0.555\pm 0.008\,M_\odot$, $R_s=0.528\pm 0.005\,R_\odot$, $L_s=0.16\pm0.01\,L_\odot$ for the secondary. The age and apparent distance modulus of V54 are estimated at 13.3 - 14.7 Gyr and $13.94\pm0.05$ mag, respectively. This age is substantially larger than ages we have derived from the analysis of binary systems in 47 Tuc and M4. The secondary of V44 is so weak in the optical domain that only mass function and relative parameters are obtained for the components of this system. However, there is a good chance that the velocity curve of the secondary could be derived from near-IR spectra. As the primary of V44 is more evolved than that of V54, such data would impose much tighter limits on the age and distance of M55.

description: Background: Tamoxifen-adapted MCF-7-Tam cells represent an in-vitro model for acquired tamoxifen resistance, which is still a problem in clinics. We here investigated the correlation of microRNA-, mRNA- and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) expression in this model. Methods: MicroRNA- and gene expression were analyzed by nCounter and qRT-PCR technology; eIFs by Western blotting. Protein translation mode was determined using a reporter gene assay. Cells were transfected with a miR-1972-mimic. Results: miR-181b-5p,-3p and miR-455-5p were up-, miR-375, and miR-1972 down-regulated and are significant in survival analysis. About 5% of the predicted target genes were significantly altered. Pathway enrichment analysis suggested a contribution of the FoxO1 pathway. The ratio of polio-IRES driven to cap-dependent protein translation shifted towards cap-dependent initiation. Protein expression of eIF2A, -4G, -4H and -6 decreased, whereas eIF3H was higher in MCF-7-Tam. Significant correlations between tamoxifen-regulated miRNAs and eIFs were found in representative breast cancer cell lines. Transfection with a miR-1972-mimic reverses tamoxifen-induced expression for a subset of genes and increased proliferation in MCF-7, but reduced proliferation in MCF-7-Tam, especially in the presence of 4OH-tamoxifen. Migration was inhibited in MCF-7-Tam cells. Translation mode remained unaffected. Conclusions: miR-1972 contributes to the orchestration of gene-expression and physiological consequences of tamoxifen adaption.

description: From 1954 through 1972, the scope of the Small Watershed Program has expanded considerably but flood protection for farm land remains Its most significant feature. Congressional action during this time has expanded the program to include development of recreation, fish and wildlife resources, and municipal and industrial water supply. However, the watershed program has remained predominantly agricultural, with drainage and irrigation, as well as flood protection, comprising the most significant part of the program. This study identifies changes in the Small Watershed Program since its beginning and measures its varied emphasis among regions of the United States.

description: Background: Cancer patients form a notable proportion of requestors for physician-assisted suicide (PAS). This manuscript provides data on German oncologists' views concerning due criteria for the assessment of requests for PAS and quality assurance. Methods: The German Society of Haematology and Medical Oncology (DGHO) has conducted a survey among its members to elicit data about practices and views on regulating PAS in March 2021. Descriptive analysis and bivariate logistic regression of quantitative data on socio-demographic and other determinants possibly associated with respondents' views on PAS as well as content analysis of qualitative data were performed. Results: About 57.1% (n = 425) of respondents (n = 745) indicated that they had been asked for information about PAS by patients. Information about palliative (92.7%; n = 651) and psychological care options (85.6%; n = 598) was deemed most important in cases of requests for PAS. More than half of the respondents (57.6%; n = 429) were in favour of a formal expert assessment of decisional capacity and about 33.4% (n = 249) favoured a time span of 14 days between the counselling and prescription of a lethal drug. There was no association between participants who received more requests and a preference for disclosing publicly their willingness to assist with suicide. A majority of respondents requested measures of quality assurance (71.3%; n = 531). Conclusion: According to respondents' views, the regulation of PAS will require diligent procedures regarding the assessment of decisional capacity and counselling. The findings suggest that the development of adequate and feasible criteria to assess the quality of practices is an important task.

description: We prove the existence and uniqueness of a traveling front and of its speed for the homogeneous heat equation in the half-plane with a Neumann boundary reaction term of non-balanced bistable type or of combustion type. We also establish the monotonicity of the front and, in the bistable case, its behavior at infinity. In contrast with the classical bistable interior reaction model, its behavior at the side of the invading state is of power type, while at the side of the invaded state its decay is exponential. These decay results rely on the construction of a family of explicit bistable traveling fronts. Our existence results are obtained via a variational method, while the uniqueness of the speed and of the front rely on a comparison principle and the sliding method.

description: We say that a sequence of operators $(T_n)$ possesses hereditarily hypercyclic subspaces along a sequence $(n_k)$ if for any subsequence $(m_k)\subset(n_k)$, the sequence $(T_{m_k})$ possesses a hypercyclic subspace. While so far no characterization of the existence of hypercyclic subspaces in the case of Fréchet spaces is known, we succeed to obtain a characterization of sequences $(T_n)$ possessing hereditarily hypercyclic subspaces along $(n_k)$, under the assumption that the sequence $(T_n)$ satisfies the Hypercyclicity Criterion along $(n_k)$. We also obtain a characterization of operators possessing a hypercyclic subspace under the assumption that $T$ satisfies the Frequent Hypercyclicity Criterion.

description: This report discusses the prevention of surface water pollution with hog wastes from point sources, and relates it to major structural characteristics of hog production. Nonpoint source pollution, arising from pasture systems and the application of hog wastes to farmland, is recognized but not evaluated. This analysis centers on the 15 major hog-producing States. In 1969, they accounted for 511,000 farms selling hogs, and for 89 percent of U.S. hog output. A third of total sales came from 368,000 farms selling fewer than 200 hogs each annually; 12 percent of sales were from farms selling 1,000 head or more. Open-lot systems of production accounted for 58 percent of all systems; pasture, 33 percent; and total confinement, 9 percent. Uncontrolled runoff is estimated to occur on 112,000 farms; 86,000 of them use open-lot systems. Effluent guidelines used in this report were assumed, since EPA guidelines had not been issued when this study was made. Under these assumptions, application of runoff control facilities to open-lot systems with problems would require investments in the 15 States of $254 to $290 million, and increased annual costs of $36 to $44, or $0.90 to $1.00 per 100 pounds of hogs produced. Unit investments and annual costs would be over 10 times as great for the smallest as for the largest enterprises. After control adjustments are complete, water should be free of hog wastes; pork should cost consumers little or no more as a result of the clean-up program. During the adjustment period some producers, agribusiness firms, and rural communities will suffer; pork supplies are likely to drop and prices to rise. Undesirable economic impacts can be minimized through proper application of regulations

description: The $π^0$, $η$, and $η^\prime$ transition form factors in the space-like region are analyzed at low and intermediate energies in a model-independent way through the use of rational approximants. Slope and curvature parameters as well as their values at infinity are extracted from experimental data. These results are suited for constraining hadronic models such as the ones used for the hadronic light-by-light scattering piece of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and for the mixing parameters of the $η- η^\prime$ system.

description: Many evolved stars travel through space at supersonic velocities, which leads to the formation of bow shocks ahead of the star where the stellar wind collides with the interstellar medium (ISM). Herschel observations of the bow shock of $α$-Orionis show that the shock is almost free of instabilities, despite being, at least in theory, subject to both Kelvin-Helmholtz and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities. A possible explanation for the lack of instabilities lies in the presence of an interstellar magnetic field. We wish to investigate whether the magnetic field of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the Orion arm can inhibit the growth of instabilities in the bow shock of $α$-Orionis. We used the code MPI-AMRVAC to make magneto-hydrodynamic simulations of a circumstellar bow shock, using the wind parameters derived for $α$-Orionis and interstellar magnetic field strengths of $B\,=\,1.4,\, 3.0$, and $5.0\, μ$G, which fall within the boundaries of the observed magnetic field strength in the Orion arm of the Milky Way. Our results show that even a relatively weak magnetic field in the interstellar medium can suppress the growth of Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, which occur along the contact discontinuity between the shocked wind and the shocked ISM. The presence of even a weak magnetic field in the ISM effectively inhibits the growth of instabilities in the bow shock. This may explain the absence of such instabilities in the Herschel observations of $α$-Orionis.

description: BACKGROUND: Treatment with a cochlear implant (CI) poses the risk of inducing a behaviorally unmeasurable air-bone gap leading to false negative absence of cervical and ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs, oVEMPs) to air conducted sound (ACS). OBJECTIVE: To investigate VEMP response rates to ACS and bone conducted vibration (BCV) in CI patients and the applicability of the B81 transducer for BCV stimulation. METHODS: Prospective experimental study including unilateral CI patients, measuring cVEMPs and oVEMPs to ACS and to BCV, comparing response rates, signed asymmetry ratios, latencies, and amplitudes. RESULTS: Data of 13 CI patients (mean age 44±12 years) were analyzed. For the CI side, oVEMP and cVEMP response rates were significantly higher for BCV (77%cVEMP, 62%oVEMP) compared to ACS (23%cVEMP, 8%oVEMP). For the contralateral side, no difference between response rates to ACS (85%cVEMP, 69%oVEMP) and BCV (85%cVEMP, 77%oVEMP) was observed. Substantially higher asymmetries were observed for ACS (–88±23%for cVEMPs, –96±11%for oVEMPs) compared to BCV (–12±45%for cVEMPs, 4±74%for oVEMPs). CONCLUSIONS: BCV is an effective stimulus for VEMP testing in CI patients. The B81 is a feasible stimulator.

description: Economies in buying and selling and in lower investments in machinery found on large wheat farms are partially offset by higher costs for labor and other hired services. Rates of return to equity before income taxes increase with farm size, but rates of return after taxes are very similar regardless of size. The number of large farms will probably increase most rapidly during periods of good prices and good weather. Continued growth in numbers is expected but management rather than capital may be the limiting factor. Growth in the number of large farms is likely to have depressing effects on smalltown merchants who are bypassed by large farmers.

It is supposed that the Universe is dominated by scalar field with noncanonical kinetic terms. The kinetic term is supposed as a power-law function, and the work is performed for two typical cases. Using recent observations, the free parameters of the model are determined. It is shown that theoretical results are in acceptable agreement with observational data. Finally the time period of inflation is derived approximately, and it is found out that the inflation could occur after the five-dimensional Planck time.

description: The paper compares state nationalism, and identity crisis of Pakistani minorities in Sehrish Mushtaq’s A Hindu in Pakistan (2011) and Faiz e Rasool’s A Mad Man’s Diary (2014). Mushtaq uses the India’s Babri mosque incident (1992) to examine shared social conscience and normality of the Hindu minority in Pakistan. Rasool points to distrust of Christian minority in context of Pakistan’s Joseph Colony massacre (2013). Further, Jurgen Schaflechner hints at the Indian fear of the Pakistani Hindu refugees in There They Call Us Hindus. Here We Are Pakistanis (2014). The films challenge a legacy of target-oriented manipulation of the oppositional dichotomy in India and Pakistan, as both the countries resolve the tension by subordinating the minority to the majority. The films examine the stereotypes and point to bourgeoisie constraints that encompass all and hinder change by creating new identities of minorities in the two countries. A Mad Man’s Diary emphasizes on redefinition and transculturation, ignoring binary oppositions and relations of power and dispossession. The reverse narrative technique and intertextuality of dialogues make Rasool a strategic historian at the center of the interpretive process—understanding an ‘oppressed’ past and its relationship to the current culture. A Hindu in Pakistan reconstructs a past defined through an inter-subjective sense of shared experiences and cultural history. The films disturb socially dominant conservative and traditionalist alike. They point to distantiation that denies redefinition of shared social conscience that Mushtaq, Rasool and Schaflechner tend to claim though their films. The films distantiate audience by adjusting cultural connotations and stereotypes concerning the minorities. The interactivity of the dichotomous relationship hints at sagas of transculturation in a hybrid Pakistani society. The characters challenge the official discourse about minorities that has been carefully controlled by state institutions, the clergy, academia, and the art & entertainment industries.

description: Results of photometric observations of the permanent negative superhumper TT Ari in 1961/62 and 1966 are presented. Together with data from the literature they are used to discuss the negative superhump amplitudes $A_{nSH}$ and the amplitudes $A_{beat}$ of the modulation with the beat period $P_{beat}$. Both amplitudes are shown to vary considerably from one season to another. Three correlations are found: (1) between $A_{nSH}$ and $A_{beat}$, (2) between $A_{nSH}$ and $P_{nSH}$, and (3) between $A_{beat}$ and $P_{beat}$.

description: On a group level, satisfaction with botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) treatment in neurological indications is high. However, it is well known that a relevant amount of patients may not respond as expected. The aim of this study is to evaluate the BoNT treatment outcome on an individual level using a statistical single-case analysis as an adjunct to traditional group statistics. The course of the daily perceived severity of symptoms across a BoNT cycle was analyzed in 20 cervical dystonia (CD) and 15 hemifacial spasm (HFS) patients. A parametric single-case autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) time series analysis was used to detect individual responsiveness to BoNT treatment. Overall, both CD and HFS patients significantly responded to BoNT treatment with a gradual worsening of symptom intensities towards BoNT reinjection. However, only 8/20 CD patients (40%) and 5/15 HFS patients (33.3%) displayed the expected U-shaped curve of BoNT efficacy across a single treatment cycle. CD (but not HFS) patients who followed the expected outcome course had longer BoNT injection intervals, showed a better match to objective symptom assessments, and were characterized by a stronger certainty to control their somatic symptoms (i.e., internal medical locus of control). In addition to standard evaluation procedures, patients should be identified who do not follow the mean course-of-treatment effect. Thus, the ARIMA single-case time series analysis seems to be an appropriate addition to clinical treatment studies in order to detect individual courses of subjective symptom intensities.
Simpson's Paradox and Collapsibility

description: Simpson's paradox and collapsibility are two closely related concepts in the context of data analysis. While the knowledge about the occurrence of Simpson's paradox helps a statistician to draw correct and meaningful conclusions, the concept of collapsibility deals with dimension-reduction aspects, when Simpson's paradox does not occur. We discuss in this paper in some detail the nature and the genesis of Simpson's paradox with respect to well-known examples and also various concepts of collapsiblity. The main aim is to bring out the close connections between these two phenomena, especially with regard to the analysis of contingency tables, regression models and a certain measure of association or a dependence function. There is a vast literature on these topics and so we focus only on certain aspects, recent developments and some important results in the above-mentioned areas.

description: A systematic analysis of low-lying quadrupole and octupole collective states is presented, based on the microscopic energy density functional framework. By mapping the deformation constrained self-consistent axially symmetric mean-field energy surfaces onto the equivalent Hamiltonian of the $sdf$ interacting boson model (IBM), that is, onto the energy expectation value in the boson condensate state, the Hamiltonian parameters are determined. The study is based on the global relativistic energy density functional DD-PC1. The resulting IBM Hamiltonian is used to calculate excitation spectra and transition rates for the positive- and negative-parity collective states in four isotopic chains characteristic for two regions of octupole deformation and collectivity: Th, Ra, Sm and Ba. Consistent with the empirical trend, the microscopic calculation based on the systematics of $β_{2}$-$β_{3}$ energy maps, the resulting low-lying negative-parity bands and transition rates show evidence of a shape transition between stable octupole deformation and octupole vibrations characteristic for $β_{3}$-soft potentials.

description: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an important biomolecule with essential roles at the intersection of energy metabolism, epigenetic regulation and cell signalling. Synthetic analogues of NAD+ are therefore of great interest as chemical tools for medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and drug discovery. Herein, we report the chemical synthesis and full analytical characterisation of three stereoisomers of 2″-amino NAD+, and their biochemical evaluation against two classes of NAD+-consuming enzymes: the human sirtuins 1–3, and the bacterial toxin TccC3. To rationalise the observed activities, molecular docking experiments were carried out with SIRT1 and SIRT2, which identified the correct orientation of the pyrophosphate linkage as a major determinant for activity in this series. These results, together with results from stability tests and a conformational analysis, allow, for the first time, a side-by-side comparison of the chemical and biochemical features, and analytical properties, of different 2″-amino NAD+ stereoisomers. Our findings provide insight into the recognition of co-substrate analogues by sirtuins, and will greatly facilitate the application of these important NAD+ analogues as chemical tool compounds for mechanistic studies with these as well as other NAD+-dependent enyzmes.

description: The Impostor Phenomenon (IP) is characterized by an external-instable-specific attributional style (i.e., Impostors perceive successful performance as due to chance). To our knowledge no study has yet tested this notion in real-life situations. Therefore, we invited 76 participants to complete computer-based numerical and verbal intelligence tasks, gave them positive feedback, irrespective of their actual performance, and assessed their attributions of the positive performance feedback. While the self-reported IP was unrelated to psychometrically measured intelligence (rs ≤ 0.07), those high in IP discounted their performance and attributed the cause for their performance as external-instable-specific (r = 0.40). The findings hold when controlling for age, gender, and actual performance. Our study extends the knowledge on the associations between the IP and causal attributions of performance. We discuss how addressing attributional styles could benefit interventions for the IP.

description: We present the results of a high-cadence photometric survey of an $11'\times11'$ field centred on the globular cluster M71, with the Near-Infrared Transiting ExoplanetS Telescope. The aim of our survey is to search for stellar variability and transiting giant exoplanets. This survey differs from previous photometric surveys of M71 in that it is more sensitive to lower amplitude ($ΔM\leq0.02$ mag) and longer period ($P>2$ d) variability than previous work on this cluster. We have discovered $17$ new variable stars towards M71 and confirm the nature of $13$ previously known objects, for which the orbital periods of $7$ are refined or newly determined. Given the photometric precision of our high-cadence survey on the horizontal branch of M71, we confirm the cluster is devoid of RR Lyrae variable stars within the area surveyed. We present new $B$ and $V$ band photometry of the stars in our sample from which we estimate spectral types of the variable objects. We also search our survey data for transiting hot Jupiters and present simulations of the expected number of detections. Approximately $1\,000$ stars were observed on the main-sequence of M71 with sufficient photometric accuracy to detect a transiting hot Jupiter, however none were found.

description: GluN2B-enriched N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are implicated in several neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. No clinically valid GluN1/2B therapeutic exists due to a lack of selective GluN2B imaging tools, and the state-of-the-art [3H]ifenprodil shows poor selectivity in drug screening. To this end, we developed a tritium-labeled form of OF-NB1, a recently reported selective GluN1/2B positron emission tomography imaging (PET) agent, with a molar activity of 1.79 GBq/µmol. The performance of [3H]OF-NB1 and [3H]ifenprodil was compared through head-to-head competitive binding experiments, using the GluN1/2B ligand CP-101,606 and the sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) ligand SA-4503. Contrary to [3H]ifenprodil, the usage of [3H]OF-NB1 differentiated between GluN1/2B and σ1R binding components. These results were corroborated by observations from PET imaging experiments in Wistar rats using the σ1R radioligand [18F]fluspidine. To unravel the binding modes of OF-NB1 and ifenprodil in GluN1/2B and σ1Rs, we performed a retrospective in silico study using a molecular operating environment. OF-NB1 maintained similar interactions to GluN1/2B as ifenprodil, but only ifenprodil successfully fitted in the σ1R pocket, thereby explaining the high GluN1/2B selectivity of OF-NB1 compared to ifenprodil. We successfully showed in a proof-of-concept study the superiority of [3H]OF-NB1 over the gold standard [3H]ifenprodil in the screening of potential GluN1/2B drug candidates.
