description: We report the first measurements of sixth order non-linear quark number susceptibilities in continuum QCD. This extends our earlier computation of the continuum limit of non-linear quark number susceptibilities and the pressure in QCD for m/Tc=0.1. For T/Tc > 1.5, no phase transitions are observable for mu<30T. Systematics of off-diagonal susceptibilities are reported. The equation of state in the high temperature phase of the QCD plasma is constructed.

description: Perfect fluid spheres, both Newtonian and relativistic, have attracted considerable attention as the first step in developing realistic stellar models (or models for fluid planets). Whereas there have been some early hints on how one might find general solutions to the perfect fluid constraint in the absence of a specific equation of state, explicit and fully general solutions of the perfect fluid constraint have only very recently been developed. In this article we present a version of Lake's algorithm [Phys. Rev. D 67 (2003) 104015; gr-qc/0209104] wherein: (1) we re-cast the algorithm in terms of variables with a clear physical meaning -- the average density and the locally measured acceleration due to gravity, (2) we present explicit and fully general formulae for the mass profile and pressure profile, and (3) we present an explicit closed-form expression for the central pressure. Furthermore we can then use the formalism to easily understand the pattern of inter-relationships among many of the previously known exact solutions, and generate several new exact solutions.

description: Background Efforts to distribute naloxone have equipped more people with the ability to reverse opioid overdoses but people who use drugs are often reluctant to call 911 due to concerns for legal repercussions. Rural communities face unique challenges in reducing overdose deaths compared to urban communities, including limited access to harm reduction services as well as greater concerns about stigma and privacy. Methods The Rural Opioid Initiative was funded in 2017 to better understand the health-related harms associated with the opioid crisis in rural US communities and consists of eight studies spanning ten states and 65 counties. Each study conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with people who use drugs to understand contextual factors influencing drug use and health behaviors. We analyzed qualitative data from seven studies with data available at the time of analysis to understand peer response to overdose. Results Of the 304 participants interviewed, 55% were men, 70% were white, 80% reported current injection drug use, and 60% reported methamphetamine use. Similar to what has been found in studies focused on urban settings, people who use drugs in rural communities use a range of strategies to reverse overdoses, including non-evidence-based approaches. Several reported that multiple doses of naloxone are needed to reverse overdose. Three themes emerged around the willingness to call 911, including (1) hesitancy to call 911 for fear of legal consequences, (2) negative perceptions or experiences with law enforcement officers, and (3) efforts to obtain medical intervention while avoiding identification/law enforcement involvement. Conclusion People who use drugs employ multiple strategies to attempt overdose reversal, including non-evidence-based approaches. Greater education about the most effective and least harmful strategies is needed. Reluctance to call 911 is rooted in concerns about potential legal consequences as well as perceptions about law enforcement officers, which may be heightened in rural communities where people who use drugs are more easily identified by law enforcement. People who use drugs will go to great strides to connect their peers to needed medical services, suggesting that comprehensive interventions to reduce interactions with law enforcement officers and eliminate legal consequences for reporting overdoses are critical.
title: The rheology of human blood and blood cellular components in suspension measured with a modified Weissenberg rheogoniometer
Creators: name: King, Robert G
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: The development of the Weissenberg Rheogoniometer is described, together with details of the modifications that were required to adapt it for hemorheological studies. The rheological parameters, viscosity and elasticity of whole blood from healthy human donors, prepared in concentrations of red cells from 10. to 95 percent, were measured in steady, oscillatory and pulsatile flow. The viscosity and elasticity of red cells resuspended in buffer solution at similar concentrations are also reported. The changing rheological properties of the clotting process of non-anticoagulated human blood have been studied with time. Preparations of red cells and white cells in abnormal states (in sickle cell disease and leukemia) have been studied and the rheological data reported. Surface rheological investigations are also made of preparations of blood proteins such as fibringen, albumin and spectrin/actin derived from the red cell membrane. These materials are deployed both at air-fluid and fluid-fluid interfaces. The effect of the addition of such materials as coagulating and anticoagulating agents to these preparations are also studied. The results of these investigations serve to establish the mechanism regulating the viscoelastic behavior of blood in health and to elucidate the pathophysiological changes in blood rheology in disease.

title: The relation between the obsessional character and aspects of cognitive performance
Creators: name: Ford, Michael George
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This research aims to examine the relation between obsessionality and aspects of cognitive performance in secondary school children. The obsessional character is typified by such traits as orderliness and caution, and may be distinguished from the obsessional neurotic who displays varied clinical symptoms. An examination of the literature attempts to ascertain the nature of relationships between obsessional attributes and cognition, but the majority of studies concentrate on adult clinical populations. The cognitive style of reflection-impulsivity is considered in view of its superficial similarity to the obsessionality dimension but it is found to be a narrow concept at its most discriminating with younger children. Means of assessing obsessionality psychometrically are examined with particular reference to six tests, only one of which has a variant suitable for use with children, the Easy Reading Version of Kline's Ai3Q. Data on reliability and validity for this test are sought in a series of three studies with 12 and 13 year old children; it is concluded that it can satisfactorily discriminate between children of this age who may be labelled high or low obsessionals. Sex differences were also found. Two studies of cognitive performance are carried out using four tasks involving speed and accuracy. The results confirm in general hypotheses that high obsessional children perform more accurately and with less speed than low obsessionals, but some interaction effects with sex are noted as well as indications of possible task-specificity. The results are discussed in the light of such factors as underinclusive thinking and theories of reversal and arousal. It is concluded that obsessionality in an important variable to be considered when investigating cognition in children.

description: In the absence of neither an effective treatment or vaccine and with an incomplete understanding of the epidemiological cycle, Govt. has implemented a nationwide lockdown to reduce COVID-19 transmission in India. To study the effect of social distancing measure, we considered a new mathematical model on COVID-19 that incorporates lockdown effect. By validating our model to the data on notified cases from five different states and overall India, we estimated several epidemiologically important parameters as well as the basic reproduction number ($R_{0}$). Combining the mechanistic mathematical model with different statistical forecast models, we projected notified cases in the six locations for the period May 17, 2020, till May 31, 2020. A global sensitivity analysis is carried out to determine the correlation of two epidemiologically measurable parameters on the lockdown effect and also on $R_{0}$. Our result suggests that lockdown will be effective in those locations where a higher percentage of symptomatic infection exists in the population. Furthermore, a large scale COVID-19 mass testing is required to reduce community infection. Ensemble model forecast suggested a high rise in the COVID-19 notified cases in most of the locations in the coming days. Furthermore, the trend of the effective reproduction number ($R_{t}$) during the projection period indicates if the lockdown measures are completely removed after May 17, 2020, a high spike in notified cases may be seen in those locations. Finally, combining our results, we provided an effective lockdown policy to reduce future COVID-19 transmission in India.

description: Die Republik Österreich kauft 1994 einen Teil des wissenschaftlichen Nachlasses des emigrierten Wiener Psychologen Ernest Dichter (1907-1991). Dichter gilt als Begründer der Motivforschung, einem Teilgebiet der Marktforschung, das die Beweggründe für das menschliche Wollen und Handeln beim Konsum erforscht und besonders für die Werbung von Interesse ist. 1997 kommt der Nachlass an die Universität Wien und wird an der damaligen Fachbereichsbibliothek für Publizistik und Kommunikationswissenschaften untergebracht. Das Ernest Dichter-Archiv umfasst ca. 6.000 - vor allem auf Englisch verfasste - Studien, Offerte und Publikationen Dichters, aber auch Zeitungsartikel über ihn und Interviews mit ihm. Ziel des Projektes „Ernest Dichter-Archiv“ ist in einem ersten Schritt den ursprünglichen Bestandsnachweis, der in Form einer Excel-Liste vorliegt, für die Migration in das cloudbasierte Bibliotheksmanagementsystem Alma der UB Wien vorzubereiten, d.h. maschinenlesbar zu machen. Dazu gehört die Analyse der Liste, die Bereinigung und Aufbereitung der Datensätze, das Datenmapping sowie die testweise Einspielung repräsentativer Beispieldatensätze in Alma. Diese Vorarbeit dient dem zweiten Schritt, das Archiv für Forschende, Studierende und andere interessierte Personen besser zugänglich zu machen. In einem Konzept werden daher Beispiele von bisherigen Ernest Dichter-Websites analysiert und darauf aufbauend Überlegungen angestellt, wie man für die Fachbereichsbibliothek die Sichtbarkeit des Ernest Dichter-Archivs erhöhen kann.

Heterogeneity of solid neutron-star matter: transport coefficients and neutrino emissivity
Creators: name: Jones, P. B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Calculations of weak-interaction transition rates and of nuclear formation enthalpies show that in isolated neutron stars, the solid phase, above the neutron-drip threshold, is amorphous and heterogeneous in nuclear charge. The neutrino emissivities obtained are very dependent on the effects of proton shell structure but may be several orders of magnitude larger than the electron bremsstrahlung neutrino-pair emissivity at temperatures of 10^9 K. In this phase, electrical and thermal conductivities are much smaller than for a homogeneous bcc lattice. In particular, the reduced electrical conductivity, which is also temperature-independent, must have significant consequences for the evolution of high-multipole magnetic fields in neutron stars.

description: Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) is characterized by the acquisition of a somatic mutation in a hematopoietic stem cell that results in a clonal expansion. These driver mutations can be single nucleotide variants in cancer driver genes or larger structural rearrangements called mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs). The factors that influence the variations in mCA fitness and ultimately result in different clonal expansion rates are not well understood. We used the Passenger-Approximated Clonal Expansion Rate (PACER) method to estimate clonal expansion rate as PACER scores for 6,381 individuals in the NHLBI TOPMed cohort with gain, loss, and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity mCAs. Our mCA fitness estimates, derived by aggregating per-individual PACER scores, were correlated (R2 = 0.49) with an alternative approach that estimated fitness of mCAs in the UK Biobank using population-level distributions of clonal fraction. Among individuals with JAK2 V617F clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential or mCAs affecting the JAK2 gene on chromosome 9, PACER score was strongly correlated with erythrocyte count. In a cross-sectional analysis, genome-wide association study of estimates of mCA expansion rate identified a TCL1A locus variant associated with mCA clonal expansion rate, with suggestive variants in NRIP1 and TERT.

description: ISO/LWS grating observations of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220 shows absorption in molecular lines of OH, H$_2$O, CH, NH, and NH$_3$, as well as in the [O I] 63 $μ$m line and emission in the [C II] 158 $μ$m line. We have modeled the continuum and the emission/absorption of all observed features by means of a non-local radiative transfer code. The continuum from 25 to 1300 $μ$m is modeled as a warm (106 K) nuclear region that is optically thick in the far-infrared, attenuated by an extended region (size 2$''$) that is heated mainly through absorption of nuclear infrared radiation. The molecular absorption in the nuclear region is characterized by high excitation due to the high infrared radiation density. The OH column densities are high toward the nucleus and the extended region. The H$_2$O column density is also high toward the nucleus and lower in the extended region. The column densities in a halo are similar to what are found in the diffuse clouds toward Sgr B2 near the Galactic Center. Most notable are the high column densities found for NH and NH$_3$ toward the nucleus, with values of $\sim1.5\times10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $\sim3\times10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$, respectively. A combination of PDRs in the extended region and hot cores with enhanced \hdo photodissociation and a possible shock contribution in the nuclei may explain the relative column densities of OH and \hdo, whereas the nitrogen chemistry may be strongly affected by cosmic ray ionization. The [C II] 158 $μ$m line is well reproduced by our models and its ``deficit'' relative to the CII/FIR ratio in normal and starburst galaxies is suggested to be mainly a consequence of the dominant non-PDR component of far-infrared radiation, although our models alone cannot rule out extinction effects in the nuclei.

description: The two dimensional system of electrons in a high magnetic field offers an opportunity to investigate a phase transition from a quantum liquid into a Wigner solid. Recent experiments have revealed an incipient composite fermion liquid in a parameter range where theory and many experiments had previously suggested the Wigner crystal phase, thus calling into question our current understanding. This Letter shows how very small quantitative corrections (< 1%) in the energy due to the weak interaction between composite fermions can cause a fundamental change in the nature of the ground state, thus providing insight into the puzzling experimental results.

description: As the remnants of stars with initial masses $\lesssim$ 8 M$_{\odot}$, white dwarfs contain valuable information on the formation histories of stellar populations. In this paper, we use deep, high-quality, u-band photometry from the Canada France Imaging Survey (CFIS), griz photometry from Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1), as well as proper motions from Gaia DR2, to select 25,156 white dwarf candidates over $\sim$4500 deg$^2$ using a reduced proper motion diagram. We develop a new white dwarf population synthesis code that returns mock observations of the Galactic field white dwarf population for a given star formation history, while simultaneously taking into account the geometry of the Milky Way, survey parameters, and selection effects. We use this model to derive the star formation histories of the thin disk, thick disk, and stellar halo. Our results show that the Milky Way disk began forming stars (11.3 $\pm$ 0.5) Gyr ago, with a peak rate of (8.8 $\pm$ 1.4) M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$ at (9.8 $\pm$ 0.4) Gyr, before a slow decline to a constant rate until the present day --- consistent with recent results suggesting a merging event with a satellite galaxy. Studying the residuals between the data and best-fit model shows evidence for a slight increase in star formation over the past 3 Gyr. We fit the local fraction of helium-atmosphere white dwarfs to be (21 $\pm$ 3) %. Incorporating this methodology with data from future wide-field surveys such as LSST, Euclid, CASTOR, and WFIRST should provide an unprecedented view into the formation of the Milky Way at its earliest epoch through its white dwarfs.
A common ground between liberalism and multiculturalism? : addressing citizenship and Canadian identity in British Columbia’s social studies curriculum
Creators: name: Essex, Graham

description: Public schooling has long been considered a venue where society has a say in the development of its citizens. Citizenship in Canada, however, is contested territory. Throughout Canadian history, the country has faced questions of who belongs as part of the nation, and the rise of multiculturalism as federal policy has only seen these questions grow. In light of this, it is worth considering the way citizenship has been, and continues to be, constructed in our schools. This is especially the case with a new curriculum entering our schools. In this paper, I consider liberal and multicultural theory, the history of multiculturalism in Canada, and then focus teaching of History and Social Studies has evolved in Canada over time. Finally, I will examine the nature of citizenship as constructed in British Columbia’s Social Studies curriculum at the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade levels, in both the 2006 and the 2015 curriculum documents.

description: Climate change and the rise of a grassroots–legislative political–environmental movement in the United States should change how urban planners think and act on spatial change and social justice. After the 2018 U.S. elections, organizing movements and progressive legislators endorsed the Green New Deal. In this Viewpoint I look at the Green New Deal’s potential implications for urban planning. I analyze it in reference to the 1930s’ New Deal inspirations and current climate and urban challenges, and illustrate the contradictions between large-scale spatial change and community-scale social justice. I explain how the imperatives of the Green New Deal, in conjunction with the shifting sites, scales, and politics of planning for climate change, should encourage planners to reframe their spaces and politics of practice toward a reconceptualized urban regional scale and a new politics of more public participation.

description: We study D-branes in the background of Euclidean AdS2xS2 with a graviphoton field turned on. As the background is not Ricci flat, the graviphoton field must have both self-dual and antiself-dual parts. This, in general, will break all the supersymmetries on the brane. However, we show that there exists a limit for which one can restore half of the supersymmetries. Further, we show that in this limit, the N=1/2 SYM Lagrangian on flat space can be lifted on to the Euclidean AdS2xS2 preserving the same amount of supersymmetries as in the flat case. We observe that without the C-dependent terms present in the action this lift is not possible.

description: In most ectotherms, a reduction in developmental temperature leads to an increase in body size, a phenomenon known as the temperature size rule (TSR). In Drosophila melanogaster, temperature affects body size primarily by affecting critical size, the point in development when larvae initiate the hormonal cascade that stops growth and starts metamorphosis. However, while the thermal plasticity of critical size can explain the effect of temperature on overall body size, it cannot entirely account for the effect of temperature on the size of individual traits, which vary in their thermal sensitivity. Specifically, the legs and male genitalia show reduced thermal plasticity for size, while the wings show elevated thermal plasticity, relative to overall body size. Here, we show that these differences in thermal plasticity among traits reflect, in part, differences in the effect of temperature on the rates of cell proliferation during trait growth. Counterintuitively, the elevated thermal plasticity of the wings is due to canalization in the rate of cell proliferation across temperatures. The opposite is true for the legs. These data reveal that environmental canalization at one level of organization may explain plasticity at another, and vice versa.

description: We analyze the charge-to-mass structure of BPS states in general infinite-distance limits of $\mathcal{N}=2$ compactifications of Type IIB string theory on Calabi-Yau three-folds, and use the results to sharpen the formulation of the Swampland Conjectures in the presence of multiple gauge and scalar fields. We show that the BPS bound coincides with the black hole extremality bound in these infinite distance limits, and that the charge-to-mass vectors of the BPS states lie on degenerate ellipsoids with only two non-degenerate directions, regardless of the number of moduli or gauge fields. We provide the numerical value of the principal radii of the ellipsoid in terms of the classification of the singularity that is being approached. We use these findings to inform the Swampland Distance Conjecture, which states that a tower of states becomes exponentially light along geodesic trajectories towards infinite field distance. We place general bounds on the mass decay rate $λ$ of this tower in terms of the black hole extremality bound, which in our setup implies $λ\geq 1/\sqrt{6}$. We expect this framework to persist beyond $\mathcal{N}=2$ as long as a gauge coupling becomes small in the infinite field distance limit.

description: We numerically investigate the long--time evolution of density perturbations after the first appearance of caustics in an expanding cosmological model with one--dimensional `single--wave' initial conditions. Focussing on the time--intervals of caustic appearances and the spatial distribution of caustics at subsequent times, we find that the time--intervals of caustic appearances approach a constant, i.e., their time--subsequent ratio converges to 1; it is also found that the spatial distribution of caustics at a given time features some universality rules, e.g., the ratio between the position of the nearest caustic from the center and that of the second nearest caustic from the center approaches a constant. Furthermore we find some rules for the mass distribution for each caustic. Using these universality constants we are in the position to predict the spatial distribution of caustics at an arbitrary time in order to give an estimate for the power spectral index in the fully--developed non--dissipative turbulent (`virialized') regime.

description: We apply experimental technique based on the combination of methods dealing with principal refractive indices and absorption coefficients to study the photoinduced 3D orientational order in the films of liquid crystalline (LC) azopolymers. The technique is used to identify 3D orientational configurations of trans azobenzene chromophores and to characterize the degree of ordering in terms of order parameters. We study two types of LC azopolymers which form structures with preferred in-plane and out-of-plane alignment of azochromophores, correspondingly. Using irradiation with the polarized light of two different wavelengths we find that the kinetics of photoinduced anisotropy can be dominated by either photo-reorientation or photoselection mechanisms depending on the wavelength. We formulate the phenomenological model describing the kinetics of photoinduced anisotropy in terms of the isomer concentrations and the order parameter tensor. We present the numerical results for absorption coefficients that are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The model is also used to interpret the effect of changing the mechanism with the wavelength of the pumping light.

description: We give a short overview on our work on ancestral lineages in spatial population models with local regulation. We explain how an ancestral lineage can be interpreted as a random walk in a dynamic random environment. Defining regeneration times allows to prove central limit theorems for such walks. We also consider several ancestral lineages in the same population and show for one prototypical example that in one dimension the corresponding system of coalescing walks converges to the Brownian web.

description: Improved rice production techniques are being promoted in Ghana as a way of enhancing sustainable productivity among farmers. Despite the important role that the adoption of improved rice production technologies plays in improving output, very few studies, especially in the context of Northern Ghana, have been conducted to analyse the factors influencing their intensive adoption. In this study, we compared the results of negative binomial, Poisson and zero inflated Poisson (ZIP) models to analyse the determinants of intensity of adoption of improved rice production techniques, using primary data collected from 543 rice farmers in the Upper East and Northern regions of Ghana. Based on model diagnostics, we accept the results of the ZIP model. The empirical results confirm the relevance of technology demonstration fields, farmers’ experience, training, and sex of the farmer in enhancing and sustaining the adoption of improved agricultural technologies. Household extension method, research and extension, and farm size should also be considered in promoting the adoption of improved practices among rice farmers since these covariates had significant relationship with the intensity of adopting improved agricultural technologies.

description: We review the approach to calculation of one-loop effective action in ${\cal N}=2,4$ SYM theories. We compute the non-holomorphic corrections to low-energy effective action (higher derivative terms) in ${\cal N}=2$, SU(2) SYM theory coupled to hypermultiplets on a non-abelian background for $R_ξ$-gauge fixing conditions. A general procedure for calculating the gauge parameters depending contributions to one-loop superfield effective action is developed. The one-loop non-holomorphic effective potential is exactly found in terms of the Euler dilogarithm function for a specific choice of gauge parameters.We also discuss the calculations of hypermultiplet dependence of ${\cal N}=4$ SYM effective action.

description: The aim of the study was to evaluate postburn contracture reconstructions caused by high temperature such as tandir. The records of our 58 patients who were operated for burn contracture between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Duration elapsed after the burn, localization of contracture, surgery applied, and the recurrence rates were recorded. McCauley classification was used to evaluate the severity of hand contractures. One hundred and thirty-seven contracture release operations were performed in 45 hands in 40 cases. Five patients had bilateral hand contractures. One hundred and sixty-three (84.9%) surgeries out of total 192 contracture release surgery were applied to the hand and foot region. FTSG alone was the most common method of treatment. Z-plasty was used the most frequently by our team as the flap surgery. Tissue damage is more severe due to very high temperature of the tandir and as a result, more frequent and heavier burn contracture occurs on hands and feet than other burn etiologies develops, and reconstructive operations are needed more frequently.

description: Ο σκοπός αυτής της μελέτης είναι να συμβάλλει με μια κριτική ανασκόπηση στον προβληματισμό για τον σακχαρώδη διαβήτη στην κύηση (GDM), προκειμένου να παρασχεθεί μια όσο το δυνατόν λεπτομερής ανάλυση και παρουσίαση διαφορετικών πτυχών του θέματος, υπό το φως πρόσφατων ερευνητικών ευρημάτων. Η κατανόηση των διαφορετικών παραγόντων κινδύνου, των παθοφυσιολογικών μηχανισμών και των γενετικών παραγόντων που συμβάλλουν στην πρόκληση GDM, θα συμβάλλει στον εντοπισμό γυναικών που διατρέχουν αυτό τον κίνδυνο. Στη συνέχεια, θα αναπτυχθούν αποτελεσματικά προληπτικά μέτρα και θα διαμορφωθεί η επαρκής διαχείριση της νόσου. Ένα ζήτημα που προκαλεί πολλές συζητήσεις, είναι ο τρόπος ανίχνευσης με προσυμπτωματικό έλεγχο και η διαχείριση του GDM. Οι κλινικές δοκιμές έχουν δείξει ότι ο GDM μπορεί να προληφθεί με ουσιαστική τροποποίηση του τρόπου ζωής. Ως προς τη χρήση ινσουλίνης και μετφορμίνης στη θεραπεία του GDM, τα πλεονεκτήματα και μειονεκτήματά τους, όπως και οι έως τώρα συγκρίσεις μεταξύ τους, είναι αβέβαια, ειδικά όσον αφορά τις μακροπρόθεσμες εκβάσεις στους απογόνους, οι οποίοι εκτίθενται προγεννητικά. Οι τρέχουσες οδηγίες οργανισμών όπωςτο ACOG (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) και η ADA (American Diabetes Association) συνιστούν την ινσουλίνη ως την κυριότερη φαρμακευτική θεραπεία πρώτης γραμμής, καθώς είναι γνωστό το πρόβλημα της διέλευσης από τον πλακούντα των από του στόματος χορηγούμενων παραγόντων, ενώ η μετφορμίνη κερδίζει έδαφος γιατί φαίνεται ότι είναι μια ασφαλής εναλλακτική λύση έναντι της ινσουλίνης
description: The purpose of this study is to contribute to a critical review of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) concerns in order to provide the most detailed analysis and presentation of different aspects of the issue, in the light of recent research findings. Understanding the different risk factors, pathophysiological mechanisms, and genetic factors that contribute to GDM will help identify women at risk. Then, effective preventive measures will be developed and adequate disease management will be established. One issue that is causing a great deal of controversy is how to detect and manage GDM. Clinical trials have shown that GDM can be prevented by substantial lifestyle modification. As for the use of insulin and metformin in the treatment of GDM, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the comparisons between them so far, are uncertain, especially in terms of long-term outcomes in the offspring, which are exposed prenatally. Current guidelines from organizations such as the ACOG (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) and the ADA (American Diabetes Association) recommend insulin as the primary first-line drug therapy, as the problem of passing through the placenta of oral agents is known, while metformin is gaining ground because it seems to be a safe alternative to insulin

description: We construct the general first-order hydrodynamic theory invariant under time translations, the Euclidean group of spatial transformations and preserving particle number, that is with symmetry group $\mathbb{R}_t\times$ISO$(d)\times$U$(1)$. Such theories are important in a number of distinct situations, ranging from the hydrodynamics of graphene to flocking behaviour and the coarse-grained motion of self-propelled organisms. Furthermore, given the generality of this construction, we are are able to deduce special cases with higher symmetry by taking the appropriate limits. In this way we write the complete first-order theory of Lifshitz-invariant hydrodynamics. Among other results we present a class of non-dissipative first order theories which preserve parity.
