description: We study the time evolution of the magnetic field in a plasma with a chiral magnetic current. The Vector Spherical Harmonic functions (VSH) are used to expand all fields. We define a measure for the Chandrasekhar-Kendall-Woltjer (CKW) state, which has a simple form in VSH expansion. We propose the conditions for a general class of initial momentum spectra that will evolve into the CKW state. For this class of initial conditions, to approach the CKW state, (i) a non-vanishing chiral magnetic conductivity is necessary, and (ii) the time integration of the product of the electric resistivity and chiral magnetic conductivity must grow faster than the time integration of the resistivity. We give a few examples to test these conditions numerically which work very well.

description: Abstract. Applying spiritual theory in architecture is one of the critical successes for project design. Consequently, the inspiration of the phenomenological approach in creating mosques will create a strong relationship between users and religious spaces by feeling the spiritual value, which will be a critical factor in delivering this feeling for worshipers. Therefore, it is essential to understand the spiritual sensing of mosque worshippers so that designers can provide successful designs for the community. After reviewing the literature for the leading theory of bodily experiences, the research will use the phenomenological approach to examine mosque architecture design and produce an evaluation matrix that can be used to assess users' spiritual senses in mosque buildings.

description: Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic infectious disease that has long been one of the major health problems. It affects individuals of all ages and both sexes. Poverty, malnutrition and over-crowded living conditions have been known for decades to increase the risk of developing the disease. According to the FMOH hospital statistics data, TB is the leading cause of morbidity, the third cause of hospital admission (after deliveries and malaria) and the second cause of death in Ethiopia after malaria. TB is an obstacle to socio-economic development. Objective: To assess knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of TB patients towards tuberculosis and its treatment in Addis Ababa city, Ethiopia. Methods: The study design was facility based a cross-sectional quantitative survey was undertaken through interviewing 422 patients in eight selected health facilities of Addis Ababa by using purposeful sampling. The sample size was assigned to each health facility proportionally to their quarterly patient flow. Data entry and analysis was done by Epi Info version 6 software package and SPSS version 16.0. Bi-variate and multivariate logistic regression was employed. Results: The result of the study showed that the level of knowledge of tuberculosis was low. Only 47.6% of patients attained high overall knowledge score. Statistically significant association was found between high knowledge score and attending formal education (OR=2.4, 95% CI= 1.5, 3.9), owner of Radio/TV (OR=2.7, 95%CI=1.4, 5.0), listening health information through Radio/TV (OR=2.0, 95%CI=1.3, 3.0) and knowing of person suffered from TB (OR= 2.5, 95% CI=1.6, 3.6). Overall attitude of patients scoring favorable attitude was 56.6% .The findings revealed significant association between high score of attitude and formal education (OR=2.1, 95%CI=1.3, 3.5) and listening health information through radio/television (OR=2.2, 95%CI=1.5, 3.3). Although there was a low level of knowledge and considerable number of the study patients had unfavorable attitude, over all 265 (62.8%) of patients scored favorable practices. Conclusion and recommendation: Generally over all knowledge and attitude of TB patients about TB and its treatment were low in Addis Ababa city. So implementation of health education and awareness creation by using different mechanisms and further research are recommended.

description: Oxy-fuel combustion is considered one of the very promising concepts for carbon capture technology (CCT), which is proven to reduce NOx emissions and increase thermal efficiency. The CH* chemiluminescence is well excepted to be one of the major spontaneous emissions which marks important combustion characteristics of the flame such as equivalence ratio, flame structure, heat release rate, etc. In the present study, an oxy-fuel turbulent non-premixed jet in a co-flow flame diluted with CO2 is experimentally studied with a chemiluminescence signal from CH* over the range of pressures from 2 bar to 5 bar, which is an extension to the earlier study of oxy-fuel flame with varying CO2 dilutions at atmospheric pressure. The experimental results are also compared with the 2D axisymmetric numerical simulation using the flamelet-progress variable approach. Two sets of experiments are carried out, one at a fixed Reynolds number and the other at a fixed co-flow velocity. DSLR and ICCD cameras are used to characterize the near-field of the flame. A narrow band-pass filter is used with the ICCD camera to capture CH* signals at 430 nm from the flame at the repetition rate of 10Hz. So obtained line-of-sight-integrated images from the ICCD camera are subjected to the Abel inversion method to obtain two-dimensional images which are then further post-processed to study the flame behavior. The flame is characterized in terms of the flame attachment height and radius for different fuel velocities (thus, different equivalence ratios) and different elevated pressures (at fixed Reynolds number and equivalence ratio). In addition to it, the DSLR images also provide visual qualitative information about the flame such as flame luminous intensity, its volume, and appearance.

description: Η εθελοντική αιμοδοσία είναι πολύ σημαντική για την ιατρική επιστήμη. Πολλοί παράγοντες εμπλέκονται στη σημαντικότητά της. Το κυριότερο στοιχείο είναι το γεγονός ότι μία αιμοδοσία, η οποία έχει γίνει κάτω από τις απαραίτητες προϋποθέσεις και συνθήκες, μπορεί να βοηθήσει έναν συνάνθρωπο, ο οποίος παλεύει για τη ζωή του. Παράλληλα όμως, μπορεί να σώσει και τον ίδιο τον αιμοδότη από κάποια ασθένεια, από την οποία πάσχει χωρίς να το γνωρίζει, μέσω των συχνών εξετάσεων που αναγκαστικά, βάσει πρωτοκόλλου, διενεργούνται στους αιμοδότες. Από την άλλη πλευρά, υπάρχουν και ηθικές και δεοντολογικές προεκτάσεις που αφορούν στη διαδικασία της αιμοδοσίας, και για τις οποίες η κοινωνία δεν έχει καταφέρει ακόμη να αποσαφηνίσει απολύτως τι είναι ηθικό και τι όχι, και να δημιουργήσει μία κοινή άποψη σχετικά με την δωρεά αίματος και των παραγωγών του. Σε αυτή την εργασία καταρχάς αναλύονται οι διαδικασίες αιμοδοσίας, ώστε ο αναγνώστης να ενημερωθεί για αυτές και για το πρωτόκολλο που τις υποστηρίζει. Κύριος στόχος της εργασίας, είναι να περιγραφούν οι ηθικοί και δεοντολογικοί προβληματισμοί που σχετίζονται με τη διαδικασία της εθελοντικής αιμοδοσίας ώστε οι έμμεσα και άμεσα εμπλεκόμενοι γνωρίζοντας τόσο την πρακτική πλευρά της αιμοδοσίας, αλλά και τους προβληματισμούς που εγείρονται αναφορικά με αυτήν, να είναι σε θέση να εκφέρουν γνώμη σχετικά.
description: Voluntary blood donation is very important for medical science. Many factors are involved in its importance. The main principle is the fact that a blood donation, which has been done under the proper conditions and circumstances, can help a human being, who is fighting for its life. At the same time, however, it can save the blood donor himself from diseases he suffers off without knowing it, through the frequent blood tests that are necessarily, based on a protocol, performed on the blood donors. On the other hand, there are ethical implications in the blood donation process, for which society has not yet been able to fully clarify what is ethical and what is not, and to form a common view on blood donation, and of its producers. At the first part of the thesis, blood donation procedures are analyzed, so that the reader is informed about them and the protocol that supports them. The main purpose of the thesis, is to describe the ethical concerns related to the voluntary blood donation procedure, so that everyone involved - directly or indirectly- be able to express an opinion on it, knowing both the practical side of blood donation and the concerns raised about it.

 Abstract 20‑valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20; Prevnar 20®; Apexxnar®) is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) developed by Pfizer for active immunization for the prevention of pneumococcal infections. PCV20 has a similar structure and formulation to Pfizer’s 13-valent PCV (PCV13; Prevnar 13®; Prevenar 13®), with the addition of polysaccharides to target seven further Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes (8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F). PCV20 has been approved for active immunization for the prevention of pneumonia and invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae in adults since June 2021 in the USA and since February 2022 in the EU. Following further evaluation of its safety, immunogenicity, and effectiveness in pediatric populations, in April 2023 PCV20 received its first pediatric approval, in the USA, for active immunization for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in individuals 6 weeks to 17 years of age and for the prevention of otitis media caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F in individuals 6 weeks to 5 years of age. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of PCV20 leading to this first pediatric approval for active immunization for the prevention of IPD and otitis media caused by S. pneumoniae.

description: Data Release 5 (DR5) of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is the fifth data release from a magnitude-limited (9< I < 12) survey of stars randomly selected in the southern hemisphere. The RAVE medium-resolution spectra ($R\sim7500$) covering the Ca-triplet region (8410-8795Å) span the complete time frame from the start of RAVE observations in 2003 to their completion in 2013. Radial velocities from 520,781 spectra of 457,588 unique stars are presented, of which 255,922 stellar observations have parallaxes and proper motions from the Tycho-Gaia astrometric solution (TGAS) in Gaia DR1. For our main DR5 catalog, stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, and overall metallicity) are computed using the RAVE DR4 stellar pipeline, but calibrated using recent K2 Campaign 1 seismic gravities and Gaia benchmark stars, as well as results obtained from high-resolution studies. Also included are temperatures from the Infrared Flux Method, and we provide a catalogue of red giant stars in the dereddened color $(J-Ks)_0$ interval (0.50,0.85) for which the gravities were calibrated based only on seismology. Further data products for sub-samples of the RAVE stars include individual abundances for Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, Fe, and Ni, and distances found using isochrones. Each RAVE spectrum is complemented by an error spectrum, which has been used to determine uncertainties on the parameters. The data can be accessed via the RAVE Web site or the Vizier database.

Assessment of HIV Risk Perception and Condom Use among Youth in Debre Birhan District, Central Ethiopia
Creators: name: Zewdie, Zebideru
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2005

description: Young people between the ages of 15 and 24 years are both the most threatened globally, accounting for half of all new cases of HIV and the greatest hope for turning the tide against AIDS. Significant proportion of the population particularly the youth are at high risk of HIV infection despite high level of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. Although various surveys have been made to study the sexual behavior of youth in Ethiopia, few studies assess youth risk perception to HIV/AIDS. This cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 2004 to January 2005 to assess HIV risk perception and condom use among youth in Debre Birhan Town of Amhara Region. A total of 663 youths were interviewed and four focus group discussions were conducted. In this study 32.7% of the respondents were sexually active. The mean age at first sexual intercourse was 18.1+ sd 2.1 years. Sixty-two (28.6%) of the sexually active respondents reported that they have more than one sexual partner. Among the sexually active respondents 38.7% had ever used condom and only 44.9% use condom consistently. Condom use was associated with marital status (AOR=0.08, 95% CI=0.01, 0.36), education (AOR=6.92, 95% CI=1.49, 32.00) and reported number of sexual partners (AOR=4.16, 95% CI=1.34, 12.87). With the above risk sexual behavior, participants' attitude towards perceiving themselves at risk of HIV infection was only 4.5%. Knowledge of HIV transmission, (AOR =3.25, 95% CI=1.61, 6.55), number of reported sexual partners, (AOR=2.09, 95% CI=1.01, 4.33), condom use (AOR=0.30, 95% CI=0.14, 0.67), and khat (AOR=2.73, 95% CI=1.03, 7.22) were significantly associated with self-risk perception to HIV. From this study, it was concluded that despite the high knowledge the youths have on HIV/AIDS, they still engage in high- risk sexual behavior and perception of risk acquisition is very low. Thus, peer-based interventions to delay sex and negotiate condom use, youthfriendly sexual and reproductive health services including VCT and developing life skills to enable a change of attitude of the youth to avoid HIV/AIDS are recommended. Key words: Youth, Risk perception, Condom use, Debre Birhan District

description: 2000 subjects from two woredas of a rural section of Ethiopia were interviewed to determine how many were suffering from mental disorder and what determinants are related to the disorder. A WHO Self-Reporting Questionnaire was used to assess mental illness. The questionnaire has been used before in Ethiopia and measures neurotic, psychotic, and psychosomatic illness in terms of symptoms. 344 cases were found, indicating an overall frequency of 17.2% . The great majority of cases were suffering from neurotic and psychosomatic illnesses. Psychiatric morbidity was higher in women, in divorced/separated/widowed groups, and in the age group 35-44. However, the level of social stress experienced in the past year was most predict i ve of mental illness; the higher a person's stress level, the higher the mental symptom score. Family history of mental illness was the second best predictor.

title: Memento gloriae: a new reading of the sermons of John Donne
Creators: name: Gale, Colin Stuart
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The sermons of John Donne are widely regarded as being fixated on human mortality, and making a major contribution to the Western tradition of memento mori as a consequence. This study argues that this is a distortion of his thought; that the preoccupation of his sermons was not with death per se, but with life (specifically, with the particulars of Christian doctrine within which death is subsumed by resurrection); and that, as a result, Donne’s was a radically orthodox voice within seventeenth-century English Protestantism. This thesis is advanced in three chapters devoted to Donne’s sermons on I Corinthians 15, then buttressed by chapters on Donne’s deployment of 1 Corinthians 15 in other sermons, and on how his perspective on the resurrection compares and contrasts with that of near-contemporary representatives of Laudianism and Puritanism respectively.
Assessment of Maternal Death and Factors Affecting Maternal Death Surveillance and Response System in Dire Dawa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tesfaye, Tseyon
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background: Reducing maternal deaths is one of the key goals of Millennium Development Goals (NDGs). Programs and policies aiming to reduce maternal deaths need reliable and valid information. Maternal Death Surveillance and Response (MDSR) system is a method of collecting information on the level and causes of maternal death in order to provide accurate information to improve quality of maternal health care. Objective: The study aims to assess causes of maternal deaths and factors affecting MDSR system in public health facilities in Dire Dawa Methods: A cross sectional facility based study design including quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted in nine health facilities of Dire Dawa where an MDSR system was introduced. The quantitative method assessed maternal deaths and complications for causes and avoidable factors before the introduction of MDSR from 8 June 2013 to 7 June 2014 and after the introduction of MDSR from 8 June 2014 to 9 March 2015 by reviewing patient and facility records and interviewing with health care providers. Factors which affect the implementation of MDSR assessed qualitatively through in-depth interview with 24 purposively selected health care providers working in the nine public health facilities. Results: A total of 45 maternal deaths, 247 maternal complications and 8,857 deliveries were recorded during the two study periods. Maternal mortality ratios for the two periods were 511 and 505 per 100,000 live births in the baseline and implementation period respectively. Of the total maternal deaths 33 (73.3%) were avoidable. The direct obstetric causes were responsible for 41 (91%) of the deaths, of which hemorrhage 27%, hypertension during pregnancy 22% and obstructed labour 18% are the leading causes. MDSR is implementing in the nine public health facilities. Knowledge, attitude, support and supervision, training, staff turnover, and community participation are the main factors which affect the program implementation. Conclusions and recommendations: The identified maternal death is very high and most of them are avoidable and caused by direct obstetric causes of maternal death. MDSR system is implementing and accepted by most of the care providers. Improving care, capacity building, support and supervision and community awareness is crucial to reduce the number of maternal death and to strengthen and sustain the program implementations

description: For percolation on finite transitive graphs, Nachmias and Peres suggested a characterization of the critical probability based on the logarithmic derivative of the susceptibility. As a first test-case, we study their suggestion for the Erdős-Rényi random graph G_{n,p}, and confirm that the logarithmic derivative has the desired properties: (i) its maximizer lies inside the critical window p=1/n+Θ(n^{-4/3}), and (ii) the inverse of its maximum value coincides with the Θ(n^{-4/3})-width of the critical window. We also prove that the maximizer is not located at p=1/n or p=1/(n-1), refuting a speculation of Peres.

Year: 1993

description: This study assesses the overall drug use pattern (with and without prescription) in an Addis Ababa community, potential drug sources, factors associated with increased drug consumption and purchasing following an illness episode. It employed a cross-sectional community-based survey of a sample of 1185 households, selected randomly from the source population of all 23 kebeles of the previous Yeka District of Addis Ababa. A structured questionnaire was developed, pretested and implemented for the purpose of the survey. The study showed that 85.2% of the studied sample population took somekind of drug (prescr ibed or nonprescribed) and 14.8% did nothing following an illness during the four week study period. Drug users and nonusers were compared with respect to demographic and socio-economic variables. The use was higher among children less than 5 years of age, in high income groups, and among those with higher average haelth care expenditure per episode. There was no sex difference observed in relation to drug taking with or without prescription. 86.9% and 84.1% of males and females, respectively, took drugs. Of these drug users, 95.5% took them with prescription and 4.5% without.It is believed that the high use rate of drug taking and vii spesifically drugs with prescription following an illness in the district might be explaind with the burden of morbidity in the district.
Lalo regional varieties: phylogeny, dialectometry, and sociolinguistics
Creators: name: Yang, Cathryn

description: Lalo is a Central Ngwi (Loloish) language cluster spoken in western Yunnan, China by fewer than 300,000 speakers. The purpose of this thesis is to subgroup Lalo regional varieties according to shared innovations that are unlikely to have occurred by chance, contact, or drift. As a complement to the subgrouping, Lalo varieties are also classified according to phonetic distance and intelligibility. Previous research has focused mostly on one variety of Lalo, spoken in western Weishan County (Björverud 1998; Huang and Dai 1992; Chen et al. 1985). In this thesis, the phonological systems of fifteen Lalo varieties are described, many for the first time. Proto-Lalo is then reconstructed by applying the comparative method to Lalo varieties' lexicons and by tracing Proto-Lalo’s development from Proto-Ngwi (Bradley 1979b) and Proto-Burmic (Lolo-Burmese) (Matisoff 2003). Tone changes in various Lalo varieties show voiced prevocalic segments conditioning the development of a low-rising tone and harsh phonation conditioning the raising of pitch height. Phylogenetically, Lalo has three major dialect clusters, Eastern, Western, and Central, which together constitute the Core Lalo group and are located in the traditional Lalo homeland of southern Dali Prefecture. There are also four peripheral varieties, Mangdi, Eka, Yangliu and Xuzhang, whose ancestors migrated out of the Lalo homeland at different times. Phonetic distance between Lalo varieties, as measured by Levenshtein edit distance, is analysed with NeighborNet network analysis and multi-dimensional scaling. This dialectometric analysis also uncovers the three dialect clusters and four peripheral varieties, with minor discrepancies due to contact. Intelligibility test results, which have a strong, significant correlation with phonetic distance, show that cross-cluster comprehension is low. Also, Lalo’s ethnolinguistic vitality is eroding, with many varieties already on the path to extinction. Integrating results from historical linguistics, dialectometry, and sociolinguistics, this thesis presents a more complex picture of Lalo inter-dialectal relationships than previously thought.

description: Alle praktizierenden Logopädinnen und Logopäden sind in ihrem Alltag mit dem Abschluss von Therapien konfrontiert. In der Stottertherapie ist dieser Teil des Prozesses mit besonderer Aufmerksamkeit zu betrachten, da bei Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen Klienten nur in seltenen Fällen mit einer vollständigen Symptomfreiheit nach der Therapie zu rechnen ist und eine hohe Rückfallwahrscheinlichkeit besteht. Anhand welcher Kriterien fällen die Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten ihre Entscheidung, den Abschluss der Therapie einzuleiten? Und wie gehen sie danach vor, um die Wirksamkeit der Therapie für die Zeit nach der Therapie zu sichern? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, liess ich mir in Form von Interviews aus der Praxis berichten. Mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wertete ich die erhaltenen Daten aus und verglich diese mit der Theorie: Die Entscheidung, die Therapie abzuschliessen, wird gemeinsam mit den Klienten anhand fallbezogener Kriterien getroffen und die Vorbereitung für die Zeit nach der Therapie beinhaltet eine Reihe von Bausteinen, die je nach Bedarf des Klienten ausgewählt und erarbeitet werden.

description: Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, η οπτικοακουστική πληροφορία και τα πολυτροπικά κείμενα, μέρος των οποίων αποτελεί ο κινηματογράφος, έχουν εξαπλωθεί ραγδαία σε πολλούς τομείς της καθημερινής ζωής. Ο τελευταίος, εξαιτίας του αφηγηματικού χαρακτήρα που μοιράζεται με τη λογοτεχνία, έχει εμπνευστεί πολλές φορές από αυτήν και έχει μεταφέρει ιστορίες της στη μεγάλη οθόνη. Εάν αξιοποιηθεί κατάλληλα, στα πλαίσια του σχολείου, η συνανάγνωση της μεταφοράς και του πρωτότυπου, θα μπορούσε να υποσχεθεί πολλαπλά οφέλη. Επιδίωξη αυτής της εργασίας είναι, μελετώντας ένα παράδειγμα μεταφοράς, αρχικά να βρεθούν ποια είναι τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά, τα οποία συνήθως μεταφέρονται από το ένα έργο στο άλλο, καθώς και σε ποια σημεία σημειώνονται διαφοροποιήσεις. Επιπλέον, εξετάζονται τα μέσα και οι τρόποι, με τους οποίους δύο διαφορετικές γλώσσες (λογοτεχνική και κινηματογραφική) μπορούν να αποδώσουν τα ίδια γεγονότα. Μία ακόμη αναζήτηση της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι ο τρόπος με τον οποίο η χρήση παιδικών λογοτεχνικών βιβλίων και των κινηματογραφικών τους μεταφορών μπορεί να ενταχθεί στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία προκειμένου να οδηγήσει τους μαθητές/τριες στην υιοθέτηση μιας κριτικής στάσης απέναντι στα κείμενα (οπτικοακουστικά και μη) και στην μετατροπή τους από παθητικούς δέκτες σε ενεργούς και κριτικούς θεατές.
description: In recent decades, audiovisual information and multimodal texts, of which cinema is a part, have spread rapidly in many areas of daily life. Cinematic movies, because of the narrative character they share with literature, have been inspired many times by it and have brought its stories to the big screen. If used properly, within the school, the co-reading of the adaptation and the original, could promise multiple benefits. The aim of this thesis is, by studying an example of adaptation, to first find out what are the key features, which are usually transferred from one artwork to another, as well as their differences. In addition, the media and the ways in which two different languages (literary and cinematic) can convey the same events are examined. Another quest of this thesis is the way in which the use of children's literature books and their cinematic adaptations can be integrated into the educational process in order to lead students to adopt a critical attitude towards texts (audiovisual and other) and to convert them from passive receivers to active and critical viewers.

Upper limb therapy following botulinum toxin-a in young children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy
Creators: name: Hoare, Brian
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: This research program aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention following upper limb injection of Botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The program of research included two Cochrane systematic reviews that synthesised current research evidence in support of a) upper limb injection of BoNT-A and b) constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). These demonstrated that BoNT-A and occupational therapy (OT) was more effective than OT alone and; modified CIMT (mCIMT) program was more effective than customary care. A single blinded, randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of mCIMT in comparison to bimanual occupational therapy (BOT) following BoNT-A. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome was the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA). Secondary outcomes included the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and Goal Attainment Scaling. The modified Ashworth scale and modified Tardieu scale monitored the effect of BoNT-A. Thirty-four children (20 males, 14 females; 18 months to 6 years, mean 3 years ± 1 year 4 months) with hemiplegic cerebral palsy completed the trial. There was no evidence of a difference between groups following treatment on the AHA. The mean effect of mCIMT (n=17) was 0.62 logits less than BOT (n=17) on AHA scores (95% CI -1.46 to 0.22, p=0.14). At 6-months the mean effect of mCIMT was 0.58 logits less than BOT (95% CI -1.43 to 0.28, p=0.19). Children receiving either mCIMT (p=0.01) or BOT (p=<0.001) had improved bimanual performance immediately following intervention. For secondary outcomes, there was evidence that children in both groups improved on all measures except quality of movement. Following injection of BoNT-A, children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy who received twice-weekly mCIMT or BOT for 8 weeks, achieved important improvements in bimanual performance. These gains were maintained at 6 months.

description: We examine the dynamics of a compressible active nematic liquid crystal on a frictional substrate. When frictional damping dominates over viscous dissipation, we eliminate flow in favor of active stresses to obtain a minimal dynamical model for the nematic order parameter, with elastic constants renormalized by activity. The renormalized elastic constants can become negative at large activity, leading to the selection of spatially inhomogeneous patterns via a mechanism analogous to that responsible for modulated phases arising at an equilibrium Lifshitz point. Tuning activity and the degree of nematic order in the passive system, we obtain a linear stability phase diagram that exhibits a nonequilibrium tricritical point where ordered, modulated and disordered phases meet. Numerical solution of the nonlinear equations yields a succession of spatial structures of increasing complexity with increasing activity, including kink walls and active turbulence, as observed in experiments on microtubule bundles confined at an oil-water interface. Our work provides a minimal model for an overdamped active nematic that reproduces all the nonequilibrium structures seen in simulations of the full active nematic hydrodynamics and provides a framework for understanding some of the mechanisms for selection of the nonequilibrium patterns in the language of equilibrium critical phenomena.
