Creators: name: Leviner, Savit
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2014

description: The Intricacies of Tax & Globalization review explores the effect of globalization on taxation. It looks into the available data (particularly from the OECD and EU) to explore global trends in taxation over the past three decades to evaluate whether and to what extent globalization leads to convergence or divergence of national tax policies, and to assess the merit of such changes.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 111099 Nursing not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Health sciences

description: This grounded theory research explored the basic social processes of how nurses develop and evolve their value systems. Multiple data was gathered from 54 Indonesian nurses across a range of clincial settings, including focus group and individual interviews, anecdotal and reflective stories. Data analysis informed the construction of the theory, Becoming a nurse: Developing and evolving a value system (the DEVS theory). The theory deepens our understandings of how nurses establish, negotiate and manage personal-professional values whilst navigating through their challenging professional life. Education strategies are recommended to enhance awareness of personal-professional values negotiation in nursing practice.

description: We study the eigenvector mass distribution for generalized Wigner matrices on a set of coordinates $I$, where $N^\varepsilon \le | I | \le N^{1- \varepsilon}$, and prove it converges to a Gaussian at every energy level, including the edge, as $N\rightarrow \infty$. The key technical input is a four-point decorrelation estimate for eigenvectors of matrices with a large Gaussian component. Its proof is an application of the maximum principle to a new set of moment observables satisfying parabolic evolution equations. Additionally, we prove high-probability Quantum Unique Ergodicity and Quantum Weak Mixing bounds for all eigenvectors and all deterministic sets of entries using a novel bootstrap argument.

description: We present spectral energy distribution modelling of 6875 stars in omega Centauri, obtaining stellar luminosities and temperatures by fitting literature photometry to state-of-the-art MARCS stellar models. By comparison to four different sets of isochrones, we provide a new distance estimate to the cluster of 4850 +/- 200 (random) +/- 120 (systematic error) pc, a reddening of E(B-V) = 0.08 +/- 0.02 +/- 0.02 mag and a differential reddening of Delta[E(B-V)] < 0.02 mag for an age of 12 Gyr. Several new post-early-AGB candidates are also found. Infra-red excesses of stars were used to measure total mass-loss rates for individual stars down to ~7 x 10^-8 Msun/yr. We find a total dust mass-loss rate from the cluster of 1.3 (+0.8/-0.5) x 10^-9 Msun/yr, with the total gas mass-loss rate being > 1.2 (+0.6/-0.5) x 10^-6 Msun/yr. Half of the cluster's dust production and 30% of its gas production comes from the two most extreme stars - V6 and V42 - for which we present new Gemini/T-ReCS mid-infrared spectroscopy, possibly showing that V42 has carbon-rich dust. The cluster's dust temperatures are found to be typically >~550 K. Mass loss apparently does not vary significantly with metallicity within the cluster, but shows some correlation with barium enhancement, which appears to occur in cooler stars, and especially on the anomalous RGB. Limits to outflow velocities, dust-to-gas ratios for the dusty objects and the possibility of short-timescale mass-loss variability are also discussed in the context of mass loss from low-metallicity stars. The ubiquity of dust around stars near the RGB-tip suggests significant dusty mass loss on the RGB; we estimate that typically 0.20--0.25 Msun of mass loss occurs on the RGB. From observational limits on intra-cluster material, we suggest the dust is being cleared on a timescale of

description: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often require long term treatment with multiple medications. Medication adherence is essential to encourage the best health results in RA. This thesis assessed medication adherence to oral RA medications in patients with RA in Iran and examined determinants of adherence with a specific focus on the effect of medication out-of-pocket costs. The study was conducted in Iran and had two components; a cross-sectional survey of 308 patients and semi-structured interviews with 10 rheumatologists. Iranian patients with RA were non-adherent to their oral RA medications and experienced cost-related medication non-adherence.

description: This work presents proximally optimal predictive control algorithm, which is essentially a model-based lateral controller for steered autonomous vehicles that selects an optimal steering command within the neighborhood of previous steering angle based on the predicted vehicle location. The proposed algorithm was formulated with an aim of overcoming the limitations associated with the existing control laws for autonomous steering - namely PID, Pure-Pursuit and Stanley controllers. Particularly, our approach was aimed at bridging the gap between tracking efficiency and computational cost, thereby ensuring effective path tracking in real-time. The effectiveness of our approach was investigated through a series of dynamic simulation experiments pertaining to autonomous path tracking, employing an adaptive control law for longitudinal motion control of the vehicle. We measured the latency of the proposed algorithm in order to comment on its real-time factor and validated our approach by comparing it against the established control laws in terms of both crosstrack and heading errors recorded throughout the respective path tracking simulations.

description: Identity is a mystery of how people become themselves, but one deserving of exploration. This study applies identity theories to present the overall picture of the psychosocial make-up of Chinese migrant nurses. Chinese nurses have their original values from China, and migration brings about many factors contributing to their identity construction, including different cultures and values, different managements, and different resources. Understanding the experience of Chinese migrant nurses based on insights into their identity is critical to any consideration of improving support for them, and thus ensuring the quality and safety of health care.

description: Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in Saudi Arabia. This study explored cardiac rehabilitation programs identifying gaps in practice, barriers and enablers to attending programs by exploring patient experiences and views of healthcare providers working in public hospitals. The findings reveal staff were not aware of programs in their departments, lacked training and there were language and communication barriers. Gender, cultural and background differences were factors in discontinuity of care, compounded by distance and transport problems for patients. A cardiac rehabilitation program was modeled for the Saudi context recommending multifaceted and multidisciplinary approaches.

The study also explore the perceptions of the maternity healthcare professionals on the care that they women in this group at the maternity healthcare settings. Findings from this study reveals that women’s HSBs are strongly influenced by socio-cultural factors, with knowledge only playing a minor role. Culturally-tailored health prevention strategies related to hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are needed within the maternity healthcare settings of Brunei.
Binary dynamics near a massive black hole

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the dynamical evolution of binary stars that interact with a static background of single stars in the environment of a massive black hole (MBH). All stars are considered to be single mass, Newtonian point particles. We follow the evolution of the energy E and angular momentum J of the center of mass of the binaries with respect to the MBH, as well as their internal semi-major axis a, using a Monte Carlo method. For a system like the Galactic center, the main conclusions are the following: (1) The binary fraction can be of the order of a few percent outside 0.1 pc, but decreases quickly closer to the MBH. (2) Within ~0.1 pc, binaries can only exist on eccentric orbits with apocenters much further away from the MBH. (3) Far away from the MBH, loss-cone effects are the dominant mechanism that disrupts binaries with internal velocities close to the velocity dispersion. Closer to the MBH, three-body encounters are more effective in disrupting binaries. (4) The rate at which hard binaries become tighter is usually less than the rate at which a binary diffuses to orbits that are more bound to the MBH. (5) Binaries are typically disrupted before they experience an exchange interaction; as a result, the number of exchanges is less than one would estimate from a simple "nvσestimate''. We give applications of our results to the formation of X-ray binaries near MBHs and to the production rates of hyper-velocity stars by intermediate mass MBHs.

description: This research explored what are the processes that Chinese women go through in living with breast cancer. The findings identified that the women go through a fluctuating adjustment process in living with their illness. This process is influenced by personal factors, social-environmental factors and some specific cultural features. The findings of this research advance the knowledge of Chinese women's adjustment processes and post-traumatic experiences. This research informs the need for new support programs for Chinese women during their breast cancer journey. It highlights that nurses, in China and multi-cultural settings, require further education in understanding the cultural specific processes that Chinese women use, to enable nurses to support and encourage this group of women with adjusting to living with breast cancer.

description: While Moore's law has driven exponential computing power expectations, its nearing end calls for new avenues for improving the overall system performance. One of these avenues is the exploration of alternative brain-inspired computing architectures that aim at achieving the flexibility and computational efficiency of biological neural processing systems. Within this context, neuromorphic engineering represents a paradigm shift in computing based on the implementation of spiking neural network architectures in which processing and memory are tightly co-located. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive overview of the field, highlighting the different levels of granularity at which this paradigm shift is realized and comparing design approaches that focus on replicating natural intelligence (bottom-up) versus those that aim at solving practical artificial intelligence applications (top-down). First, we present the analog, mixed-signal and digital circuit design styles, identifying the boundary between processing and memory through time multiplexing, in-memory computation, and novel devices. Then, we highlight the key tradeoffs for each of the bottom-up and top-down design approaches, survey their silicon implementations, and carry out detailed comparative analyses to extract design guidelines. Finally, we identify necessary synergies and missing elements required to achieve a competitive advantage for neuromorphic systems over conventional machine-learning accelerators in edge computing applications, and outline the key ingredients for a framework toward neuromorphic intelligence.

The U.S. as Tax Haven? Aiding Developing Countries by Revoking the Revenue Rule
Creators: name: Brunson, Samuel D.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2014

description: Over the years, many OECD countries, including the United States, have identified tax havens as a significant problem, and have acted to limit the ability of their taxpayers to use tax havens to reduce their taxes. The United States has implemented tax regimes, including subpart F and the passive foreign investment company rules, and disclosure regimes, such as the recently-enacted FATCA rules, to prevent U.S. taxpayers from taking advantage of tax haven jurisdictions. But the intersection of a number of U.S. tax rules, it turns out, makes the United States an attractive place for foreigners to invest—and hide—their money. Principal among these is the revenue rule, an eighteenth-century common law rule that prevents the United States from recognizing and enforcing foreign tax judgments. As a result, if a foreign taxpayer hides money in the United States and fails to pay taxes at home, her government has no recourse to satisfy the tax debt with the taxpayer’s U.S. assets. Such hidden money disparately impacts developing countries by reducing their ability to finance government through developing tax infrastructure, and instead forcing them to remain dependent on foreign aid. The revenue rule stands in stark contrast to the general default rule that U.S. courts will enforce foreign final judgments. But the revenue rule is not grounded in any compelling policy considerations. Moreover, to the extent that the U.S. revokes the revenue rule, not only will the U.S. aid other countries—including, especially, developing countries—but it may receive reciprocal aid in collecting taxes from U.S. taxpayers with assets held overseas. This Article argues that the U.S. should revoke the revenue rule, both from a moral obligation to aid developing economies in becoming self-sufficient and to receive reciprocal aid in collecting taxes being held overseas.

description: Indian-born mothers giving birth in Australia face adverse perinatal outcomes, despite access to excellent healthcare. My research reveals that Indian-born mothers living in Australia are not affected by widely recognised risk factors for adverse perinatal outcomes, such as single status, older maternal age, smoking, weight, and poor antenatal attendance. Rather, Indian-born mothers are at increased risk for higher rates of dietary related medical conditions (hypothyroidism, iron deficiency anaemia and vitamin D and B12 deficiencies). Indian -born mothers are at increased risk for induction of labour, emergency caesarean, low birth weight, and preterm birth, implying a relationship between adverse perinatal outcomes and Asian ethnicity. Antenatal care tailored to the special requirements of pregnancy in Indian-born mothers is recommended.

The exchange of Majorana neutrinos and/or supersymmetric particles may contribute. We point out that measurements of supersymmetric signals at the LHC, including single slepton production, could be used to help bound some supersymmetric processes contributing to neutrinoless double beta decay. LHC information about the supersymmetric spectrum could be combined with Bd-Bd bar mixing data in order to bound a competing neutrinoless double beta decay process involving sbottom exchange.

description: A simple statistical model in terms of light-front kinematic variables is used to explain the nuclear EMC effect in the range $x \in [0.2,~0.7]$, which was constructed by us previously to calculate the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the nucleon. Here, we treat the temperature $T$ as a parameter of the atomic number $A$, and get reasonable results in agreement with the experimental data. Our results show that the larger $A$, the lower $T$ thus the bigger volume $V$, and these features are consistent with other models. Moreover, we give the predictions of the quark distribution ratios, \emph{i.e.}, $q^A(x) / q^D(x)$, $\bar{q}^A(x) / \bar{q}^D(x)$, and $s^A(x) / s^D(x)$, and also the gluon ratio $g^A(x) / g^D(x)$ for iron as an example. The predictions are different from those by other models, thus experiments aiming at measuring the parton ratios of antiquarks, strange quarks, and gluons can provide a discrimination of different models.

Homeless persons experience increased incidences of illness and injury and die earlier than other Australians, yet access health services, including palliative and end of life care less. Government, palliative care and homelessness peak body and organisational documents; interview transcripts; and research reflection were critically analysed. Differences in language and worldviews between homelessness and palliative care sectors had an impact on service access and care delivery for homeless persons with palliative care needs. and funding models made sharing care challenging. Recommendations include direct engagement of homeless persons with palliative care needs in the development of shared models of care, funding flexibility and education of the workforces.

description: Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze: 1) What is the regulation of leasing  law in Indonesia? 2) What are the obstacles faced by the parties to the Leasing transaction? 3) How are Default Resolution Efforts in Leasing Transactions? The research method used is empirical juridical with a statutory approach, concept approach, and case studies. The results showed that: 1) The legal basis  of Leasing is Presidential Regulation No. 9 of 2009 concerning Financing Institutions and Decree of the Minister of Finance No. 1169/KMK.01/1991 concerning Leasing Activities. This Ministerial Decree entered into force on November 27, 1991 and has retroactive effect from January 19, 1991. With the enactment of this Decree of the Minister of Finance, Decree of the Minister of Finance Number 48/KMK.013/1991 concerning Leasing Activities, is declared invalid. 2)  One of the obstacles in leasing contracts is that the regulations on leasing provisions in Indonesia are still somewhat underestimated, that Indonesia still has not specifically regulated the law containing leasing. This is a wedge or obstacle that is still very worried by the lessor.  3) Thereare several ways that can be used to resolve default disputes arising from both parties, namely by musawarah, making collections, giving summons or reprimands, making claims through district courts or arbitration.
The Use of Cross-Border Corporate Profits and Losses and “Global Corporate Tax Information”: A Game Theory Approach
Creators: name: Garbarino, Carlo
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2014

description: The paper, proposes a game theory approach based on a concept of Global Corporate Tax Information and analyzes the unilateral strategies a country can select from to regulate cross-border profits and losses in its capacity as a residence-country or as a source-country. A description of the strategies available to residence-countries when there is no exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information is developed in section 2. Section 3 then looks at the interactions of those unilateral strategies of residence and source countries when there is no exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information, and shows that they lead to a stable uncooperative equilibrium as the result of “dominant strategies.” Section 4 emphasizes the strategic importance of Global Corporate Tax Information insofar as it is conducive to effective cooperation in enforcement that prevents aggressive strategies by global taxpayers and shows that such coordination can be backed by multilateral commitment. Section 4 also demonstrates that the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base (“CCCTB”) can be viewed as a multilateral method for the exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information if approved by at least nine EU countries (i.e. the minimum number of parties required under the “enhanced cooperation” procedure.) Section 5 concludes by proposing that the U.S. could become a party to pre-existing multilateral systems for exchange of Global Corporate Tax Information such as the CCCTB.

Unclear but present danger : assessing the impact of private military contractors on civil war severity
Creators: name: Lenko, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group’s ‘March for Justice’ has been the greatest threat thus far to Vladimir Putin’s regime. Months prior to Wagner’s March for Justice, Wagner was a key part of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and was a key factor in Russian foreign policy on the African continent. As private military contractors (PMCs) continue to gain continued media exposure through Wagner’s headline-grabbing actions, the effect of PMCs continues to be an under-analyzed facet of research. Through quantitative analyses, this paper examines the effect of PMCs on conflict severity (measured in battle-related deaths) in civil wars from 1989-2016. The origin and the type of civil war a PMC is involved in have real implications for the level of violence associated with PMCs in a civil conflict. Through my findings, I build on the conventional wisdom of the PMC and civil war literature, as well as provide a future research agenda in this blossoming vein of scholarship.
A Cosserat approach to modelling the deformation mechanisms of uncured composites during processing
Creators: name: Courteau-Godmaire, Hubert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Composite forming is an intricate multi-physics process involving ply slippage, shearing, bending, and compaction within a viscous matrix. Existing simulation technologies primarily adopt shell-based modelling, often sidelining thickness effects and limiting the accuracy of ply-level defect predictions. In response to this limitation, this work integrates the Cosserat continuum (micropolar) theory, offering a mechanism-based approach to capturing the unique layered kinematics of composite layups. A Cosserat continuum extends the traditional continuum models by introducing an additional rotational degree of freedom, providing a framework for accommodating asymmetric shear behaviour and intrinsic bending observed experimentally during the forming process. This theory has been integrated into a custom-built 2D explicit finite element model in MATLAB. The model leverages high-order elements and a co-rotational edge tracking method to define material orientation. To capture the soft and highly deformable behaviours of the uncured composite materials during forming and consolidation, the model incorporates various constitutive responses such as nonlinear fibre-bed compaction, viscoelasticity, and inter-layer plastic slip. The accuracy of the model is demonstrated through extensive verification against analytical solutions and Abaqus models, affirming its robustness under large-strain and large-rotation conditions. The Cosserat-based model efficiently simulates layered structures with fewer nodes and by bypassing the need for contact algorithms, provided the macroscopic behaviour remains continuous. The model is further shown to provide its practical relevance in composite manufacturing by offering valuable insights into wrinkle formation during the consolidation of a C-Channel spar. This research represents a proof of concept, highlighting the potential of the explicit/Cosserat approach in accurately modelling the deformational response of composites during processing. Future enhancements could focus on increasing the speed of the explicit solver, or porting the methodology to a commercial platform as a user element subroutine.
A LOFAR Survey of the Taurus and Perseus Molecular Clouds

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: High-velocity (200-400km/s), collimated jets from young stellar objects (YSOs) can drive powerful shocks within molecular clouds, leading to the production of low-energy cosmic rays. These cosmic rays ionise their environment, thereby acting as a source of feedback to the star-formation paradigm, by altering the degree of magnetic support opposing core-collapse. The exact degree to which low-energy cosmic rays affect the star-formation mechanism is a question of great importance. Despite this however, surveys quantifying cosmic ray-feedback have yet to be conducted, until now. In this proposed talk, I will discuss the results of two radio-surveys, utilising the LOFAR telescope, of the Taurus and Perseus molecular clouds. LOFAR frequencies (120-168 MHz) are well-suited for the detection of radio emission of non-thermal electrons/cosmic rays accelerated at jet-shocks, which are spatially-separated (>6 arcsec) from the central YSO positions. Given the high sensitivity (~100 uJy/beam across) over the entirety of both complexes (~150 square degrees) this work quantifies the role played by cosmic rays in the star-formation paradigm, our primary result. In addition to this, both variable and non-variable radio emission has been detected spatially-coincident with Class 0/I and flat-spectrum YSOs from the Spitzer c2d sample, an entirely unexpected result. Thus, our secondary findings will report on the nature of this emission, which is unrelated to jets and more likely stemming from either the YSOs' magnetospheres, or existing exo-planets in orbit around the protostars.

description: We have performed precision electrostatic calibrations in the sphere-plane geometry and observed anomalous behavior. Namely, the scaling exponent of the electrostatic signal with distance was found to be smaller than expected on the basis of the pure Coulombian contribution and the residual potential found to be distance dependent. We argue that these findings affect the accuracy of the electrostatic calibrations and invite reanalysis of previous determinations of the Casimir force.

description: We consider the group $(\mathcal{G},*)$ of unitized multiplicative functions in the incidence algebra of non-crossing partitions, where ``$*$'' denotes the convolution operation. We introduce a larger group $(\widetilde{\mathcal{G}},*)$ of unitized functions from the same incidence algebra, which satisfy a weaker condition of being ``semi-multiplicative''. The natural action of $\widetilde{\mathcal{G}}$ on sequences of multilinear functionals of a non-commutative probability space captures the combinatorics of transitions between moments and some brands of cumulants that are studied in the non-commutative probability literature. We use the framework of $\widetilde{\mathcal{G}}$ in order to explain why the multiplication of free random variables can be very nicely described in terms of Boolean cumulants and more generally in terms of $t$-Boolean cumulants, a one-parameter interpolation between free and Boolean cumulants arising from work of Bozejko and Wysoczanski. It is known that the group $\mathcal{G}$ can be naturally identified as the group of characters of the Hopf algebra Sym of symmetric functions. We show that $\widetilde{\mathcal{G}}$ can also be identified as group of characters of a Hopf algebra $\mathcal{T}$, which is an incidence Hopf algebra in the sense of Schmitt. Moreover, the inclusion of $\mathcal{G}$ into $\widetilde{\mathcal{G}}$ turns out to be the dual of a natural bialgebra homomorphism from $\mathcal{T}$ onto Sym.

description: Specialist nurses are often included in multidisciplinary teams to provide supportive care to women with gynaecological cancer. This thesis describes and defines the role of specialist nurses in the provision of gynaecological cancer care in Australia and New Zealand. It identifies that specialist nurses play a ‘keystone’ role for both women and the multidisciplinary team, though not all women with gynaecological cancer have access to their care. It recommends the standardisation of specialist nursing nomenclature, the development and evaluation of guidelines for practice, and access to specialist nursing care for all women with gynaecological cancer.

description: In this paper, we study the Multi-Period Optimal Power Flow problem (MOPF) with electric vehicles (EV) under emission considerations. We integrate three different real-world datasets: household electricity consumption, marginal emission factors, and EV driving profiles. We present a systematic solution approach based on second-order cone programming to find globally optimal solutions for the resulting nonconvex optimization problem. To the best of our knowledge, our paper is the first to propose such a comprehensive model integrating multiple real datasets and a promising solution method for the EV-aware MOPF problem. Our computational experiments on various instances with up to 2000 buses demonstrate that our solution approach leads to high-quality feasible solutions with provably small optimality gaps. In addition, we show the importance of coordinated EV charging to achieve significant emission savings and reductions in cost. In turn, our findings can provide insights to decision-makers on how to incentivize EV drivers depending on the trade-off between cost and emission.

description: This research explored the perspectives of three different groups on prehospital care provision in Indonesia: nursing graduates who may staff ambulances, ambulance nurses, and decision makers in prehospital care. This research consisted of three studies, two quantitative studies and one qualitative study. This research shows that both nurse graduates and ambulance nurses had limited prehospital-related skill and knowledge. This research also shows that government support and local communities have an important role in improving the EMS system in Indonesia. The results of the research may be used to improve education and clinical practice for prehospital care in Indonesia.
Interplay Between Structural Randomness, Composite Disorder, and Electrical Response: Resonances and Transient Delays in Complex Impedance Networks

description: We study the interplay between structural and conductivity (composite) disorder and the collective electrical response in random networks models. Translating the problem of time-dependent electrical response (resonance and transient relaxation) in binary random composite networks to the framework of generalized eigenvalues, we study and analyze the scaling behavior of the density of resonances in these structures. We found that by controlling the density of shortcuts (topological randomness) and/or the composite ratio of the binary links (conductivity disorder), one can effectively shape resonance landscapes, or suppress long transient delays in the corresponding random impedance networks.

Non-standard neutrino interactions in the Zee-Babu model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We investigate non-standard neutrino interactions (NSIs) in the Zee--Babu model. The size of NSIs predicted by this model is obtained from a full scan over the parameter space, taking into account constraints from low-energy experiments such as searches for lepton flavor violation (LFV) and the requirement to obtain a viable neutrino mass matrix. The dependence on the scale of new physics as well as on the type of the neutrino mass hierarchy is discussed. We find that NSIs at the source of a future neutrino factory may be at an observable level in the nu_e to nu_tau and/or nu_mu to nu_tau channels. In particular, if the doubly charged scalar of the model has a mass in reach of the LHC and if the neutrino mass hierarchy is inverted, a highly predictive scenario is obtained with observable signals at the LHC, in upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments, in LFV processes, and for NSIs at a neutrino factory.

description: The disease spreading on complex networks is studied in SIR model. Simulations on empirical complex networks reveal two specific regimes of disease spreading: local containment and epidemic outbreak. The variables measuring the extent of disease spreading are in general characterized by a bimodal probability distribution. Phase diagrams of disease spreading for empirical complex networks are introduced. A theoretical model of disease spreading on m-ary tree is investigated both analytically and in simulations. It is shown that the model reproduces qualitative features of phase diagrams of disease spreading observed in empirical complex networks. The role of tree-like structure of complex networks in disease spreading is discussed.

Treating acute pulmonary oedema and acute decompensated heart failure in the emergency department with intravenous furosemide: A systematic review of adult patient outcomes
Creators: name: Shaan De Mel
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: Furosemide is a loop diuretic commonly used in the treatment of acute pulmonary oedema in an Australian context. The drug facilitates diuresis, providing a means for offloading the fluid congestion synonymous with acute pulmonary oedema. However, whilst recognised as beneficial in this respect, it has been postulated that furosemide therapy may contribute to poor patient outcomes.

 Aim: To appraise existing literature on the use of furosemide in adult patients presenting to the ED with acute pulmonary oedema and acute decompensated heart failure.

 Method: Ten databases were searched for published and unpublished literature. Retrieved records were screened for eligibility against set inclusion criteria and appraised for methodological quality.

Results: Three randomised controlled trials and one cohort study were eligible for inclusion. Furosemide was shown not to provide any statistically significant improvements in respiratory distress, pH, blood pressure or oxygen saturation. Furosemide therapy was shown to cause significant depletions in serum potassium when delivered as continuous infusion

Conclusion: There is little compelling evidence, as supported by a lack of statistically significant results to show that furosemide contributes to poor or beneficial patient outcomes. Findings did not highlight any statistically significant advantages of the medication, however results were still clinically important. Furosemide was shown to cause hypokalaemia when delivered as a high dose continuous infusion and also provided some relief from short-term dyspnoea. Inconsistent dosing, inclusion criteria, routes of administration and methods of measuring outcomes were noted across the studies, which created difficulty when comparing results directly with one another. Additionally, it was unclear whether all participants in the included studies received non-invasive positive pressure ventilation and nitrate medication as a component of their therapy.
