description: Ecologic and cross-sectional multilevel analyses suggest that characteristics of the places where people live influence their vulnerability to HIV and other sexually-transmitted infections (STIs). Using data from a predominately substance-misusing cohort of African-American adults relocating from US public housing complexes, this multilevel longitudinal study tested the hypothesis that participants who experienced greater post-relocation improvements in economic disadvantage, violent crime, and male:female sex ratios would experience greater reductions in perceived partner risk and in the odds of having a partner who had another partner (i.e., indirect concurrency). Baseline data were collected from 172 public housing residents before relocations occurred; three waves of post-relocation data were collected every nine months. Participants who experienced greater improvements in community violence and in economic conditions experienced greater reductions in partner risk. Reduced community violence was associated with reduced indirect concurrency. Structural interventions that decrease exposure to violence and economic disadvantage may reduce vulnerability to HIV/STIs.

description: Schwinger's formalism in quantum field theory can be easily implemented in the case of scalar theories in $D$ dimension with exponential interactions, such as $μ^D\exp(αϕ)$. In particular, we use the relation $$ \exp\big(α{δ\over δJ(x)}\big)\exp(-Z_0[J])=\exp(-Z_0[J+α_x]) $$ with $J$ the external source, and $α_x(y)=αδ(y-x)$. Such a shift is strictly related to the normal ordering of $\exp(αϕ)$ and to a scaling relation which follows by renormalizing $μ$. Next, we derive a new formulation of perturbation theory for the potentials $V(ϕ)={λ\over n!}:ϕ^n:$, using the generating functional associated to $:\exp(αϕ):$. The $Δ(0)$-terms related to the normal ordering are absorbed at once. The functional derivatives with respect to $J$ to compute the generating functional are replaced by ordinary derivatives with respect to auxiliary parameters. We focus on scalar theories, but the method is general and similar investigations extend to other theories.

description: We propose that primordial black hole (PBH) binary systems can lead to standard timers in tracking the evolution of the Universe. Through gravitational waves from monochromatic PBH binaries, the probability distribution on major axis and eccentricity from the same redshift is obtained. By studying the dynamical evolution of PBH binaries from the initial probability distribution to observed redshifted ones, the redshift-time calibration can be extracted, which can constrain cosmological models. A general formalism of the standard timer is further concluded based on the evolution of statistical distribution in dynamical systems.

description: We compared multiple pharmacy refill-based adherence indicators for antiretroviral therapy, as well as thresholds for defining non-adherent behavior, based on ability to predict virological failure. A total of 29,937 pharmacy visits with corresponding viral load assessments were contributed by 8,695 patients attending a large clinic in Johannesburg, South Africa. Indicators based on pill coverage and timing of refill pickup performed comparably using the strictest thresholds for adherence [100 % pill coverage: odds ratio (OR) (95 % confidence interval (CI)) : 1.26 (1.15, 1.39); prescription picked up on or before scheduled refill date: 1.27 (1.16,1.38)]. For both types of indicators, the association between non-adherence and virological failure increased as the threshold defining adherent behavior was lowered. All measures demonstrated high specificity (range 84–98 %), but low sensitivity (5–19 %). In this setting, patients identified as non-adherent using pharmacy-based indicators are likely correctly classified and in need of interventions to improve compliance. Pharmacy based measures alone, however, are inadequate for identifying most cases of nonadherence.

description: By using the ARRAKIS, the atlas of stellar rings in galaxies (Comeron et al. 2014) based on data of the S4G survey, we have compiled a list of early-type, S0-Sb, disk galaxies with outer stellar ring-like features (`pure' rings, R, or pseudorings, R'). Current star formation signatures within these features were searched for through the NUV-maps of the galaxies provided by the ultraviolet space telescope GALEX. We have found that current star formation, with the mean age of the young stellar population less than 200 Myr, is present in about a half of all `pure' rings; and within the pseudorings it is observed almost always.

description: The effect of directly observed therapy (DOT) versus self-administered therapy (SAT) on antiretroviral (ART) adherence and virological outcomes in prison has never been assessed in a randomized, controlled trial. Prisoners were randomized to receive ART by DOT or SAT. The primary outcome was medication adherence [percent of ART doses measured by the medication event monitoring system (MEMS) and pill counts] at the end of 24 weeks. The changes in the plasma viral loads from baseline and proportion of participants virological suppressed (<400 copies/mL) at the end of 24 weeks were assessed. Sixty-six percent (90/136) of eligible prisoners declined participation. Participants in the DOT arm (n = 20) had higher viral loads than participants in the SAT (n = 23) arm (p = 0.23). Participants, with complete data at 24 weeks, were analyzed as randomized. There were no significant differences in median ART adherence between the DOT (n = 16, 99% MEMS [IQR 93.9, 100], 97.1 % pill count [IQR 95.1, 99.3]) and SAT (n = 21, 98.3 % MEMS [IQR 96.0, 100], 98.5 % pill count [95.8, 100]) arms (p = 0.82 MEMS, p = 0.40 Pill Count) at 24 weeks. Participants in the DOT arm had a greater reduction in viral load of approximately −1 log 10 copies/mL [IQR −1.75, −0.05] compared to −0.05 [IQR −0.45, 0.51] in the SAT arm (p value = 0.02) at 24 weeks. The proportion of participants achieving virological suppression in the DOT vs SAT arms was not statistically different at 24 weeks (53 % vs 32 %, p = 0.21). These findings suggest that DOT ART programs in prison settings may not offer any additional benefit on adherence than SAT programs.

Effectiveness of Interventions Promoting HIV Serostatus Disclosure to Sexual Partners: A Systematic Review

description: Disclosure of HIV serostatus to sexual partners is mandated within certain states in the United States and other countries. Despite these laws implemented and public health efforts to increase disclosure, rates of disclosure to sexual partners among people living with HIV (PLWH) remain low, suggesting the need for interventions to assist PLWH with the disclosure process. We conducted a systematic review of studies testing whether HIV serostatus disclosure interventions increase disclosure to sexual partners. We searched six electronic databases and screened 484 records. Five studies published between 2005 and 2012 met inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Results showed that three of the HIV serostatus disclosure-related intervention studies were efficacious in promoting disclosure to sexual partners. Although all three studies were conducted in the United States the intervention content and measurements of disclosure across the studies varied, so broad conclusions are not possible. The findings suggest that more rigorous HIV serostatus disclosure-related intervention trials targeting different populations in the United States and abroad are needed to facilitate disclosure to sexual partners.
New LHC Benchmarks for the CP-conserving Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

description: We introduce a strategy to study the parameter space of the general, CP-conserving, two-Higgs-doublet Model (2HDM) with a softly broken Z_2-symmetry by means of a new "hybrid" basis. In this basis the input parameters are the measured values of the mass of the observed Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson and its coupling strength to vector boson pairs, the mass of the second CP-even Higgs boson, the ratio of neutral Higgs vacuum expectation values, and three additional dimensionless parameters. Using the hybrid basis, we present numerical scans of the 2HDM parameter space where we survey available parameter regions and analyze model constraints. From these results, we define a number of benchmark scenarios that capture different aspects of non-standard Higgs phenomenology that are of interest for future LHC Higgs searches.

Ulysses and IBEX Constraints on the Interstellar Neutral Helium Distribution

description: We relax the usual assumption of Maxwellian velocity distributions in the interstellar medium (ISM) in the analysis of neutral He particle data from Ulysses and the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX). For Ulysses, the possibility that a narrow component from heavy neutrals is contaminating the He signal is considered, which could potentially explain the lower ISM temperature measured by Ulysses compared to IBEX. The expected heavy element contribution is about an order of magnitude too small to resolve that discrepancy. For IBEX, we find that modest asymmetries in the ISM velocity distribution can potentially improve the quality of fit to the first two years of data, and perhaps improve agreement with the Ulysses measurements.

description: We have investigated the efficacy of two recently proposed variations of the pair-natural-orbital approach to reducing the scaling of coupled cluster property calculations. In particular, we have extended our implementations of the PNO++ and combined PNO++ methods, which make use of field-aware pair-densities to define the virtual-orbital spaces used to describe electron correlation effects, in order to test their accuracy, efficiency, and robustness on larger molecular systems than previously investigated. For fluoroalkane chains up to 1-fluoroheptane we find that the PNO++ and combined PNO++ methods yield smaller localization errors in response properties than PNO for similarly compact virtual spaces, and, while the PNO method performs better than the PNO++ method for correlation energies, the combined PNO++ method recovers similar accuracy for correlation energies to the PNO method. For more three-dimensional molecular structures such as $α$- and $β-$pinenes, the PNO, PNO++, and combined PNO++ methods all yield similar errors for response properties, whereas for ($S$)-1-phenylethanol, the PNO method performs slightly better than the other two approaches. We also investigate the use of a product density to define the virtual space, as well as two candidates for defining weak-pair contributions.

description: Drug abuse is a contributing factor in women’s HIV risk in low-income communities in Cape Town, South Africa. This study assessed whether experiencing violence is associated with reduced drug abstinence among adult women (n = 603) participating in a randomized field trial for an HIV prevention study in Cape Town. In relation to drug abstinence at 12-month follow-up, multivariable regression models were used to assess (1) baseline partner and non-partner victimization, and (2) victimization at 12-month follow-up among participants reporting baseline victimization. Baseline partner (AOR = 0.6; 95 % CI 0.4–0.9) and non-partner victimization (AOR = 0.6; 95 % CI 0.4–0.9) were associated with a reduced likelihood of drug abstinence at follow-up. Among participants who reported victimization at baseline, those no longer reporting victimization at follow-up did not differ significantly in drug abstinence compared with those who reported victimization at follow-up. The study findings highlight the lasting impact of victimization on women’s drug use outcomes, persisting regardless of whether violence was no longer reported at follow-up. Overall, the findings support the need for the primary prevention of violence to address the cycle of violence, drug use, and HIV among women in this setting.

description: Chimera is a relatively new emerging phenomenon where coexistence of synchronous and asynchronous state is observed in symmetrically coupled dynamical units. We report observation of the chimera state in multiplex networks where individual layer is represented by 1-d lattice with non-local interactions. While, multiplexing does not change the type of the chimera state and retains the multi-chimera state displayed by the isolated networks, it changes the regions of the incoherence. We investigate emergence of coherent-incoherent bifurcation upon varying the control parameters, namely, the coupling strength and the network size. Additionally, we investigate the effect of initial condition on the dynamics of the chimera state. Using a measure based on the differences between the neighboring nodes which distinguishes smooth and non-smooth spatial profile, we find the critical coupling strength for the transition to the chimera state. Observing chimera in a multiplex network with one to one inter layer coupling is important to gain insight to many real world complex systems which inherently posses multilayer architecture.

description: The Garífuna, an ethnic minority group in Honduras, have been disproportionately affected by HIV. Previous research suggests that migration and high rates of multiple sexual partnerships are major drivers of the epidemic. Using data from a 2012 population-based survey, we assessed whether temporary migration was associated with 1) multiple sexual partnerships and 2) sexual concurrency among Garífuna men and women in Honduras. Among both men and women, temporary migration in the last year was associated with an increased likelihood of multiple sexual partnerships and with concurrency, though only the association between migration and multiple sexual partnerships among men was statistically significant (Adjusted Prevalence Ratio 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.4). Migration may contribute to HIV/STI vulnerability among Garífuna men and women via increases in these sexual risk behaviors. Research conducted among men and women at elevated risk of HIV should continue to incorporate measures of mobility, including history of internal migration.

description: Background:In a range of human disorders such as multiple myeloma (MM), immunoglobulin light chains (IgLCs) can be produced at very high concentrations. This can lead to pathological aggregation and deposition of IgLCs in different tissues, which in turn leads to severe and potentially fatal organ damage. However, IgLCs can also be highly soluble and non-toxic. It is generally thought that the cause for this differential solubility behaviour is solely found within the IgLC amino acid sequences, and a variety of individual sequence-related biophysical properties (e.g. thermal stability, dimerisation) have been proposed in different studies as major determinants of the aggregation in vivo. Here, we investigate biophysical properties underlying IgLC amyloidogenicity.Results:We introduce a novel and systematic workflow, Thermodynamic and Aggregation Fingerprinting (ThAgg-Fip), for detailed biophysical characterisation, and apply it to nine different MM patient-derived IgLCs. Our set of pathogenic IgLCs spans the entire range of values in those parameters previously proposed to define in vivo amyloidogenicity; however, none actually forms amyloid in patients. Even more surprisingly, we were able to show that all our IgLCs are able to form amyloid fibrils readily in vitro under the influence of proteolytic cleavage by co-purified cathepsins.Conclusions:We show that (I) in vivo aggregation behaviour is unlikely to be mechanistically linked to any single biophysical or biochemical parameter and (II) amyloidogenic potential is widespread in IgLC sequences and is not confined to those sequences that form amyloid fibrils in patients. Our findings suggest that protein sequence, environmental conditions and presence and action of proteases all determine the ability of light chains to form amyloid fibrils in patients.

description: In many applications, the observations can be represented as a signal defined over the vertices of a graph. The analysis of such signals requires the extension of standard signal processing tools. In this work, first, we provide a class of graph signals that are maximally concentrated on the graph domain and on its dual. Then, building on this framework, we derive an uncertainty principle for graph signals and illustrate the conditions for the recovery of band-limited signals from a subset of samples. We show an interesting link between uncertainty principle and sampling and propose alternative signal recovery algorithms, including a generalization to frame-based reconstruction methods. After showing that the performance of signal recovery algorithms is significantly affected by the location of samples, we suggest and compare a few alternative sampling strategies. Finally, we provide the conditions for perfect recovery of a useful signal corrupted by sparse noise, showing that this problem is also intrinsically related to vertex-frequency localization properties.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet die aktuelle Situation von Schulabsentismus an einer Hauptschule in NRW. Die Forschungsfrage lautet: Wie stellt sich das Problem Schulabsen-tismus an einer ausgewählten Hauptschule in Nordrhein-Westfalen aus den Perspektiven der Schüler*innen, der Lehrer*innen und der Schulsozialarbeiter*innen dar? Es werden hierzu Bedingungsfaktoren und allgemeine Aspekte, teils in den Personengruppen, unter-sucht. Für die Untersuchung spezifischer Faktoren sind insgesamt sieben Hypothesen for-muliert worden. Durch die Ergebnisse wird sich erhofft, die Situation in Anbetracht der Per-sonengruppen konkreter nachvollziehen zu können, etwa Motive, Probleme, Ursprünge, Gemeinsamkeiten und Wechselwirkungen, um Ansätze für Prävention und Intervention zu entwickeln. Die Erhebung erfolgt auf fachlicher Grundlage und wird teilweise mit bisherigen Forschungserkenntnissen und Fachliteraturen in Relation gesetzt. Für die Situationsanalyse ist der quantitative Ansatz, eine Fragebogenerhebung, gewählt worden. Hier sind je zwei Klassen der Jahrgänge sieben, acht und neun, sowie alle Lehr-kräfte und Schulsozialarbeitenden befragt worden. Die quantitative Studie ermöglichte ei-nen umfangreichen Gesamtüberblick über die Schulabsentismussituation an der Schule. Es bestätigte sich, dass die Schule ein erhebliches Problem mit schulabsenten Verhaltens-weisen von Schüler*innen hat. Grundsätzlich positiv ist die Wahrnehmung von Schulabsen-tismus aller Parteien, die Einsatzbereitschaft vieler Lehrer*innen und Schulsozialarbei-ter*innen, die Elternkommunikation mit Kooperation, das Schulklima und die Etablierung der Schulsozialarbeit. Grundlegende Defizite sind erkennbar in der Bekanntheit von Hilfs-angeboten für Schüler*innen, im Umgang mit Schüler*innen durch Lehrpersonen bzw. auf der Beziehungsebene, beim fachlichen Kenntnisstand zum Schulabsentismus der Lehr-kräfte und der Schulsozialarbeitenden, im Bereich von Schwerpunktangeboten, der Unter-richtsgestaltung, bei der Informationskommunikation und Kooperationskultur. Deutlich wird, dass sich die aufgezählten Faktoren negativ auf die Situation auswirken und Schulabsentismus begünstigen, weshalb Handlungsbedarf besteht, um defizitäre Aspekte zu verbessern.

description: Irregular participation in HIV medical care hinders HIV RNA suppression and impacts health among people living with HIV. Cluster analysis of clinical data from 1,748 patients attending a large academic medical center yielded three HIV service usage patterns, namely: ‘engaged in care’, ‘sporadic care’, and ‘frequent use’. Patients ‘engaged in care’ exhibited most consistent retention (on average, >88 % of each patient’s observation years had ≥2 visits 90 days apart), annualized visit use (2.9 mean visits/year) and viral suppression (>73 % HIV RNA tests <400 c/mL). Patients in ‘sporadic care’ demonstrated lower retention (46–52 %), visit use (1.7 visits/year) and viral suppression (56 % <400 c/mL). Patients with ‘frequent use’ (5.2 visits/year) had more inpatient and emergency visits. Female, out-of-state residence, low attendance during the first observation year and detectable first-observed HIV RNA were early predictors of subsequent service usage. Patients ‘engaged in care’ were more likely to have HIV RNA <400 than those receiving sporadic care. Results confirm earlier findings that under-utilization of services predicts poorer viral suppression and health out-comes and support recommendations for 2–3 visits/year.

description: Knowledge of sexual partners' HIV infection can reduce risky sexual behaviors. Yet, there are no published studies to-date examining prevalence and characteristics associated with knowledge among African-American women living in high poverty communities disproportionately affected by HIV. Using the HIV Prevention Trial Network's (HPTN) 064 Study data, multivariable logistic regression was used to examine individual, partner, and partnership-level determinants of women's knowledge (n=1,768 women). Results showed that women's demographic characteristics alone did not account for the variation in serostatus awareness. Rather, lower knowledge of partner serostatus was associated with having two or more sex partners (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.37-0.65), food insecurity (OR=0.68, 95%CI: 0.49-0.94), partner age>35 (OR=0.68, 95%CI: 0.49-0.94), and partner concurrency (OR=0.63, 95%CI: 0.49-0.83). Access to financial support (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.05-1.92) and coresidence (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.05-1.95) were associated with higher knowledge of partner serostatus. HIV prevention efforts addressing African-American women's vulnerabilities should employ integrated behavioral, economic, and empowerment approaches.
