description: Contract-based design is a method to facilitate modular system design. While there has been substantial progress on the theory of contracts, there has been less progress on scalable algorithms for the algebraic operations in this theory. In this paper, we present: 1) principles to implement a contract-based design tool at scale and 2) Pacti, a tool that can efficiently compute these operations. We then illustrate the use of Pacti in a variety of case studies.

description: This work describes the development of matrix-free GPU-accelerated solvers for high-order finite element problems in $H(\mathrm{div})$. The solvers are applicable to grad-div and Darcy problems in saddle-point formulation, and have applications in radiation diffusion and porous media flow problems, among others. Using the interpolation-histopolation basis (cf. SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 45 (2023), A675-A702, arXiv:2203.02465), efficient matrix-free preconditioners can be constructed for the $(1,1)$-block and Schur complement of the block system. With these approximations, block-preconditioned MINRES converges in a number of iterations that is independent of the mesh size and polynomial degree. The approximate Schur complement takes the form of an M-matrix graph Laplacian, and therefore can be well-preconditioned by highly scalable algebraic multigrid methods. High-performance GPU-accelerated algorithms for all components of the solution algorithm are developed, discussed, and benchmarked. Numerical results are presented on a number of challenging test cases, including the "crooked pipe" grad-div problem, the SPE10 reservoir modeling benchmark problem, and a nonlinear radiation diffusion test case.

description: This review is a contribution to a book dedicated to the memory of Michael E. Fisher. The first example of a quantum many body system not expected to have any quasiparticle excitations was the Wilson-Fisher conformal field theory. The absence of quasiparticles can be established in the compressible, metallic state of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of fermions with random interactions. The solvability of the latter model has enabled numerous computations of the non-quasiparticle dynamics of chaotic many-body states, such as those expected to describe quantum black holes. We review thermodynamic properties of the SYK model, and describe how they have led to an understanding of the universal structure of the low energy density of states of charged black holes without low energy supersymmetry.

description: It has been a long-standing goal to bring massive objects into a superposition of different locations in real space, not only to confirm quantum theory in new regimes, but also to explore the interface with gravity. The main challenge is usually thought to arise from forces or scattering due to environmental fields and particles that decohere the large object's wave function into a statistical mixture. We unveil a decoherence channel which cannot be eliminated by improved isolation from the environment. It originates from sound waves within the object, which are excited as part of any splitting process and carry partial "Welcher Weg" information. This puts stringent constraints on future spatial superpositions of large objects.

description: Ferroelectric memristors have attracted much attention as a type of nonvolatile resistance switching memories in neuromorphic computing, image recognition, and information storage. Their resistance switching mechanisms have been studied several times in perovskite and complicated materials systems. It was interpreted as the modulation of carrier transport by polarization control over Schottky barriers. Here, we experimentally report the isothermal resistive switching across a CoPt/MgZnO Schottky barrier using a simple binary semiconductor. The crystal and texture properties showed high-quality and single-crystal Co$_{0.30}$Pt$_{0.70}$/Mg$_{0.20}$Zn$_{0.80}$O hetero-junctions. The resistive switching was examined by an electric-field cooling method that exhibited a ferroelectric T$_C$ of MgZnO close to the bulk value. The resistive switching across CoPt/MgZnO Schottky barrier was accompanied by a change in the Schottky barrier height of 26.5 meV due to an interfacial charge increase and/or orbital hybridization induced reversal of MgZnO polarization. The magnitude of the reversed polarization was estimated to be a reasonable value of 3.0 (8.25) $μ$ C/cm$^2$ at 300 K (2 K). These findings demonstrated the utilities of CoPt/MgZnO interface as a potential candidate for ferroelectric memristors and can be extended to probe the resistive switching of other hexagonal ferroelectric materials.

description: Deriving system-level specifications from component specifications usually involves the elimination of variables that are not part of the interface of the top-level system. This paper presents algorithms for eliminating variables from formulas by computing refinements or relaxations of these formulas in a context. We discuss a connection between this problem and optimization and give efficient algorithms to compute refinements and relaxations of linear inequality constraints.

description: Recently, a novel probe to study symmetry breaking, known as entanglement asymmetry, has emerged and has been utilized to explore how symmetry is dynamically restored following quantum quenches. Interestingly, it has been shown that, in certain scenarios, greater initial symmetry breaking leads to faster restoration, akin to a quantum Mpemba effect. This study focuses on investigating the effect of mixed initial states and non-unitary dynamics on symmetry restoration. The mixedness of a state can arise from different sources. We consider dephasing or dissipative processes affecting initial pure states or unitary dynamics of initially thermal states. In the former case, the stationary state after the quench is independent of the initial configuration, resembling the phenomenology of the classical Mpemba effect. Investigating the XY spin chain model, through a combination of analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we identify the conditions for the occurrence of the quantum Mpemba effect. It turns out that this phenomenon still occurs in the presence of dissipation or at finite temperature, even though it will be eventually suppressed as the state becomes more mixed.

description: Abstract Summary Orthogeriatric co-management (OGCM) may provide benefits for geriatric fragility fracture patients in terms of more frequent osteoporosis treatment and fewer re-fractures. Yet, we did not find higher costs in OGCM hospitals for re-fractures or antiosteoporotic medication for most fracture sites within 12 months, although antiosteoporotic medication was more often prescribed. Purpose Evidence suggests benefits of orthogeriatric co-management (OGCM) for hip fracture patients. Yet, evidence for other fractures is rare. The aim of our study was to conduct an evaluation of economic and health outcomes after the German OGCM for geriatric fragility fracture patients. Methods This retrospective cohort study was based on German health and long-term care insurance data. Individuals were 80 years and older, sustained a fragility fracture in 2014–2018, and were treated in hospitals certified for OGCM (ATZ group), providing OGCM without certification (OGCM group) or usual care (control group). Healthcare costs from payer perspective, prescribed medications, and re-fractures were investigated within 6 and 12 months. We used weighted gamma and two-part models and applied entropy balancing to account for the lack of randomization. All analyses were stratified per fracture site. Results We observed 206,273 patients within 12-month follow-up, of whom 14,100 were treated in ATZ, 133,353 in OGCM, and 58,820 in other hospitals. Total average inpatient costs per patient were significantly higher in the OGCM and particularly ATZ group for all fracture sites, compared to control group. We did not find significant differences in costs for re-fractures or antiosteoporotic medication for most fracture sites, although antiosteoporotic medication was significantly more often observed in the OGCM and particularly ATZ group for hip, pelvic, and humerus fractures. Conclusion The observed healthcare costs were higher in ATZ and OGCM hospitals within 12 months. Antiosteoporotic medication was prescribed more often in both groups for most fracture sites, although the corresponding medication costs did not increase. © In

description: For digital image speckle correlation (DISC), a novel approach is introduced where an ensemble average over multiple different speckle patterns is calculated. As a result, the measurement uncertainty of the displacement is reduced by an order of magnitude without deteriorating the spatial resolution. This enables precise surface displacement field measurements in the micrometer range with a measurement uncertainty lower than 100nm at a spatial resolution below 20 μm. By using a digital micromirror device (DMD) for illumination modulation, measuring rates in the range of 25 Hz are possible while each measurement is based on 80 images.

description: The composition of ecological communities varies not only between different locations but also in time. Understanding the fundamental processes that drive species towards rarity or abundance is crucial to assessing ecosystem resilience and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. In plankton communities in particular, large temporal fluctuations in species abundances have been associated with chaotic dynamics. On the other hand, microbial diversity is overwhelmingly sustained by a `rare biosphere' of species with very low abundances. We consider here the possibility that interactions within a species-rich community can relate both phenomena. We use a Lotka-Volterra model with weak immigration and strong, disordered, and mostly competitive interactions between hundreds of species to bridge single-species temporal fluctuations and abundance distribution patterns. We highlight a generic chaotic regime where a few species at a time achieve dominance, but are continuously overturned by the invasion of formerly rare species. We derive a focal-species model that captures the intermittent boom-and-bust dynamics that every species undergoes. Although species cannot be treated as effectively uncorrelated in their abundances, the community's effect on a focal species can nonetheless be described by a time-correlated noise characterized by a few effective parameters that can be estimated from time series. The model predicts a non-unitary exponent of the power-law abundance decay, which varies weakly with ecological parameters, consistent with observation in marine protist communities. The chaotic turnover regime is thus poised to capture relevant ecological features of species-rich microbial communities.

description: By using electrical characterization and classical solid state semiconductor device theory, we demonstrate that the open circuit voltage (Voc) in organic solar cells based on non-intentional doped semiconductors is fundamentally limited by the built-in potential (Vbi) originated at a donor-acceptor abrupt (p-n++) heterojunction in case of selective contacts. Our analysis is validated using P3HT:PCBM devices fabricated in our research group. We also demonstrate that such a result can be generalized using data already reported in literature for fullerene-based solar cells. Finally, we show that the dependence of Voc on the device contacts can be understood in terms of the potential barriers formed by the Fermi level alignment of semiconductors at the heterojunction and at the Schottky junctions.

description: A potential phase transition between a normal ground state and a photon-condensed ground state in many-dipole light-matter systems is a topic of considerable controversy, exasperated by conflicting no-go and counter no-go theorems and often ill-defined models. We clarify this long-lasting debate by analyzing two specific arrangements of atoms, including a 3D cubic lattice and a cavity-embedded square lattice layer, which provides a physical model for single-mode cavity QED with coupled dipoles in the thermodynamic limit. These models are shown to significantly differ from the standard Dicke model and, in the thermodynamic limit, give rise to renormalized Hopfield models. We show that a ferroelectric phase transition can (in principle) still occur and the description of the abnormal phase beyond the critical point requires the inclusion of nonlinear terms in the Holstein-Primakoff mapping. We also show how our model agrees with recent experiments.

description: Issue addressed: Dental diseases are chronic conditions that place a significant burden on the population's health; however, they are mostly preventable using a range of health promotion strategies Health promotion is a core competency for all dental and oral health graduates, but little is known about what health promotion content is taught in undergraduate degrees. The aim of this study was to explore the dental and oral health content in Australian undergraduate dental and oral health degrees and map against the last two versions of the Australian Dental Council (ADC) health promotion competencies. Methods: All ADC-accredited dental and oral health courses delivered at Australian universities in 2019 were eligible to be included. Key words were used to locate subjects within the courses that contained health promotion content. This was analysed and ranked against the last two versions (2011 and 2016) of the ADC health promotion competencies. The competencies were then ranked using Blooms updated “six levels of thinking.”. Results: Seven oral health and eight dental courses were mapped. The number of health promotion subjects in courses varied substantially; the percentage of subjects that contained health promotion in oral health courses ranged from 30% to 75% and 16% to 60% for dental courses. All oral health courses were explicitly meeting the current ADC health promotion competencies, however, only half of the dental courses met the competency standards. Conclusion: Curriculum mapping provided a snapshot of the health promotion content within dental and oral health degrees in Australia. Evaluations of the extent to which these courses meet the ADC competencies provide useful information for students, clinicians and policy makers. So What?: This study provides evidence that health promotion training is occurring at varying levels. However, in dentistry, not all the ADC health promotion competencies are being met. A change is needed in the ADC health promotion competencies and ethos of academics involved in the development of curriculum to include and give appropriate attention to health promotion theory, especially advocacy. This will enable future dental professionals to advocate for a range of oral health promotion activities such as water fluoridation, universal dental care and sugar-sweetened beverage taxes.

description: When screening is applied in an excessive, unnecessary or abusive manner, the damage may outweigh the benefits. In order do develop the concept of excessive screening some categories were considered: unnecessary screening, screening without medical indication, induced screening, mandatory screening, and inadequate frequency screening. There are biases of interpretation that do not allow objectively determining the balance of harms and benefits of screening programmes related to overdiagnosis. To prevent damage from excessive screening (overscreening) it is necessary to move from the domain of generic recommendations and guidelines to the clinical practice ground of individual cases. The quaternary prevention, conceptually grounded in person-centred health care, comprises the beliefs, interests, and individual options, making it possible to lead prevention to a human scale.

description: In present work we propose novel neural network architecture and amino sequence embedding technique in solving crucial problem of immunoinformatics - predicting binding affinities of MHC molecules and their peptide ligands. Architecture was implemented in terms of residual blocks approach, which is state-of-the-art in computer vision tasks. For encoding protein and peptide sequences we implemented efficient distributed representation of amino acids through applying  NLP methods.

As a result, our approaches let us train global model for any MHC of interest and considerably improve performance comparing to other existing global models and achieve competitive results with pan-allele models.

description: Atherosclerosis is a disease associated with premature biological aging, [1] as atherosclerotic plaques show evidence of cellular senescence. Emerging evidences indicate that pathological blood vessel responses and dysfunctionality of Endothelial Cells (ECs) are associated with metabolic alterations and can be considered a primary factor in the onset and progression of atherosclerosis and other vascular related diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction. This is a leading cause of morbidity worldwide and occurs when myocardial ischemia exceeds a critical threshold and overcomes myocardial cellular repair mechanisms designed to maintain normal function and homeostasis. Preliminary data from our group have suggested that ECs derived from acute myocardial infarction patients show an altered phenotype with lower proliferation and contribute to neovascularization.

In this study we aim to establish an in vitro model of endothelial pathology using patient-derived endothelial cell lines which are subjected to a systematic evaluation against control cells, [2] to determine the metabolic profile and deep investigate if the endothelial dysfunctionality is a consequence of an abnormal endothelial cell metabolism. The recent results obtained are a part of this attempt, and include a preliminary study of cells growth and of its ability in migration. This study also aims at performing a complete characterization of the metabolic profiles of ECs in normal and pathological conditions, and will include an integrated systems biology approach and proteomic analysis. The identification of novel therapeutic targets to enhance endothelial function and prevent acute myocardial syndrome is one of the principal objectives of our research.

description: We investigate the transport and entanglement properties exhibited by quantum walks with coin operators concatenated in a space-time fractal structure. Inspired by recent developments in photonics, we choose the paradigmatic Sierpinski gasket. The 0-1 pattern of the fractal is mapped into an alternation of the generalized Hadamard-Fourier operators. In fulfilling the blank space on the analysis of the impact of disorder in quantum walk properties -- specifically, fractal deterministic disorder --, our results show a robust effect of entanglement enhancement as well as an interesting novel road to superdiffusive spreading with a tunable scaling exponent attaining effective ballistic diffusion. Namely, with this fractal approach it is possible to obtain an increase in quantum entanglement without jeopardizing spreading. Alongside those features, we analyze further properties such as the degree of interference and visibility. The present model corresponds to a new application of fractals in an experimentally feasible setting, namely the building block for the construction of photonic patterned structures.

title: Gesundheitsförderung als neue Aufgabe der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherungen in Österreich
Creators: name: Resch, Katharina
Year: 2007

description: Die alternde Bevölkerung, der Anstieg von Gesundheitsrisiken und chronischen Krankheiten bestimmen das Gesundheitssystem unserer Zeit. Würden Gesundheitsrisiken früher erkannt werden und Ressourcen rechtzeitig aufgebaut werden, könnte vielen Krankheiten vorgebeugt werden. Gesundheitsförderung zielt darauf ab, die Gesundheitsressourcen von Individuen, Gruppen und Lebenswelten zu verstärken, damit diese ein Höchstmaß an physischem, seelischem und sozialem Wohlbefinden erlangen. Die gesetzlichen Krankenversicherungen sind seit mehr als 120 Jahren fester Bestandteil des österreichischen Gesundheitssystems. Ihr Hauptaufgabenbereich liegt in der Behandlung und Kuration von Krankheiten. Seit 1992 ist auch die Gesundheitsförderung Teil ihres Aufgabenspektrums. Wie ist die Einführung der Gesundheitsförderung in die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung vonstatten gegangen? Wie haben die Krankenversicherungen, die üblicherweise zu pathogenen Krankenbehandlungssektor gezählt werden und nicht zum salutogenetischorientierten Gesundheitssystem, auf diese Neuerungen reagiert? Die Forschungsfragen wurden in der vorliegenden Arbeit mit Hilfe einer sozialwissenschaftlichen Literaturanalyse und qualitativen ExpertInneninterviews mit den VertreterInnen der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherungen bearbeitet.
description: The ageing population, increasing health threats and the rise of chronic diseases characterize the Austrian health care system today. If health risks were detected earlier and resources built up in time, many diseases could be prevented or even avoided in the first place. Health promotion aims at reinforcing health resources of individuals, groups and settings in order to reach a maximum of physical, mental and social well-being. The social health insurance funds have been a component of the Austrian health care system for over 120 years now. Their overall area of responsibility lies in the treatment and curing of diseases. Since 1992 health promotion has become an “additional” part of their responsibilities. How did the integration of health promotion into the social health insurance funds go about? How did the insurance funds, which are traditionally located in the pathogenic health sector as opposed to the salutogenetic health sector, react to these changes? The research questions were elaborated on by means of a literature review and by conducting qualitative interviews with the social health insurance funds in Austria.

description: The OPERAS-D (Design) project supports the 9 main partners (“core group”) of the OPERAS network

in the development of a European e-infrastructure for open access publications in the SSH. The project

addresses long-term requirements for the development of the e-infrastructure and community

building, as well as seeks to expand other interested parties within and beyond Europe, and in diverse

fields of the SSH. To achieve this goal, the key objectives of the OPERAS-D project are to prepare a

design study that defines governance models, structures and scientific and technical concepts for

future services that the infrastructure will provide and establishes a roadmap to achieve these goals

according to the requirements for long term sustainability. OPERAS-D engages the current and future

partners in the OPERAS network to strengthen the community and develop the network of partners

participating in OPERAS across Europe, specifically in central European countries.

Task 5.5, Exploitation Strategy, outlines the exploitation strategy of OPERAS and describes how the

consortium and project partners will seek to exploit the results of the project. This Deliverable 5.3,

Exploitation guide, is the result of Task 5.5. The current version is the first draft of D5.3, to be finalized

by April 30. The task is part of WP 5 – Dissemination, communication and exploitation (M1-18), which

deals with awareness, outreach, in-reach, engagement and collective exploitation actions to maximise

the impact of the project during the project and afterwards.

The aim of the exploitation strategy is to outline how the results of the OPERAS-D project will be used.

As OPERAS-D is a project to prepare all future activities of OPERAS, the exploitation of the project

results is an integral part of the project.

description: The collaborative Galaxy for proteomics project (Galaxy-P) has demonstrated Galaxy’s value in integrating genomic and MS-based proteomic software for multi-omic applications such as proteogenomic and metaproteomic analysis.  Thus far, Galaxy-P tools and workflows have been most readily available to other users of Galaxy, who are operating local instances of the platform.  To increase accessibility, the Galaxy-P team has partnered with the cloud-based cyberinfrastructure Jetstream.  In the initial phase of developing the Galaxy-P/Jetstream resource, we have focused on tools and workflows for integrating RNA-seq and MS-based proteomics data for proteogenomics studies.  A main implemented workflow generates protein sequence databases from in-silico translation of RNA-seq data, focusing on potentially expressed proteins from RNA variants, such as single nucleotide variants and insertion-deletions.  This workflow has incorporated CustomProDB (Bioinformatics 29:3235) which generates a customized database containing annotated variant protein sequences merged with reference sequences for the organism being studied.  The second workflow is focused on sequence database searching utilizing the customized FASTA database from the first workflow.  This workflow uses SearchGUI (Proteomics 11:996), which bundles multiple sequence database searching programs for matching MS/MS data to peptide sequences, along with PeptideShaker (Nature Biotech. 33:22) for post-search statistical analysis.  This workflow also includes a filtering step where putative variant peptide sequences are searched against known proteins via BLAST-P, to confirm their novelty.

We have established an initial public instance on Jetstream with these workflows (http://tiny.cc/galaxyp-proteogenomics).  Galaxy and Jetstream collectively make for a highly extensible and scalable resource, amenable to addition of tools and workflows.
