Longitudinal ordinal multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression analysis of the association of ASRS–memory and –attention (combined outcome variable) with sociodemographic characteristics and substance use at baseline and over time (per year). Legends: ADHD: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; ASRS-A: The adults ADHD self-report scale version 1.1, part A. 1) The combined outcome variable was generated as a sum score of the responses to ASRS, part A, question 3 (ASRS–memory) and ASRS, part B, question 9 (ASRS–attention), ranged from 0 to 8. Patients who completed one health assessment visit and only responded to one of the two ASRS questions were excluded (n = 35). A total of 666 patients responded to ASRS–memory and attention questions. Of those, 241 had completed two or more occasions, rendering 257 repeated responses to the questions. The correlation between ASRS–memory and –attention questions was 0.39. ASRS–memory: How often do you have problems remembering appointments or obligations? ASRS–attention: How often do you have difficulty concentrating on what people say to you, even when they are speaking to you directly? The responses were answered on a Likert scale ranging from never (0) to very often (4) for each question, which generated a sum score from 0 to 8.

description: Groundwater discharges in the western Canadian oil sands region impact river water quality. Mapping groundwater discharges into rivers in the oil sands region is important to ensure wastewater and steam injections remain sequestered, rather than eventually resurfacing. Saline springs comprised of Pleistocene-aged glacial meltwater enter regional rivers, but their spatial distribution has not been mapped comprehensively. Here we show substantial increases in salinity along three major rivers as they flow through the Athabasca Oil Sands Region adjacent to many active oil sands projects. Major ion concentrations and isotope (2H/1H, 18O/16O, 87Sr/86Sr) compositions suggest that increases in river water salinities are caused by saline groundwater discharges from Cretaceous or Devonian aquifers. These regional subsurface-to-surface connections signify that injected wastewater or steam may potentially resurface in the future, emphasizing the critical import of mapping groundwater flows to understand present-day streamflow quality and to predict potential for injected fluids to resurface.
Animal Attraction: Hidden Polemics in Biblical Animal Illuminations of the 'Michael Mahzor'
Creators: name: Offenberg, Sara
Publisher: name: Interfaces: A Journal of Medieval European Literatures
Year: 2019
Subjects: Hebrew Illuminated Manuscripts; Hasidei Ashkenaz; Piyyut Commentary

description: The Michael Mahzor, produced in Germany in 1258, one of the earliest illuminated Mahzorim, is a two-volume prayer book containing liturgical poems for the Holy Days and the 'four special Sabbaths,' when liturgical additions are made to the regular weekly chapter reading during the month of Adar. The manuscript is copiously illuminated, with animals adorning the opening words of the liturgical poem, and contains a militant iconographical plan, including knights and fighting warriors. The relationship between text and image in illuminated manuscripts is important, because they need to be 'read' together in order to understand the illuminations in their immediate and general context. The novelty of this study is in a holistic reappraisal of the manner in which we think about illustration in connection with text. This paper addresses three scenes containing animals in the Michael Mahzor: El Mitnase, Mich. 617, f. 4v; Zakhor, Mich. 617, f. 11r; and Kol Nidrei, Mich. 627, f. 48r. The first two examples discussed here are the illumination of El Mitnase for Shabbat Shekalim, the Sabbath beginning the month of Adar and the piyyut for the pericope Zakhor for the Shabbath that immediately precedes Purim, which is celebrated on the fourteenth of Adar. The third is the liturgical formula Kol Nidrei for Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The article suggests that the animals in the last two scenes represent the four kingdoms mentioned in chapters seven and eight of the Book of Daniel. Jewish exegesis commonly interpreted these beasts as symbols of four historical kingdoms. In addition, aspects of animal symbolism in the illuminations – such as hunted and hunting animals – should be considered in the context of medieval Jewish-Christian polemics. By examining the scenes together, we can speculate as to the greater plan the patron might have had in mind when ordering this manuscript. The article seeks to understand how the Jewish patrons envisioned themselves and their neighbors, through a prism of images, piyyutim, and the writings of Hasidei Ashkenaz.

Year: 2022

description: The article presents a qualitative analysis of key educational issues emerged from 16 semi-structured interviews conducted in Italy between November and December 2019 with policy makers, experts and civil society organisations. This endeavour was part of a wider research entitled “CRIMG – Mainstreaming of children’s rights: multilevel governance perspective” and aimed at investigating children’s rights in educational, health and social policies of Italy and the Veneto Region, as well as of Spain and the Catalonia Region. For the purpose of this contribution, findings and results are drawn exclusively from Italian interviews and selected among those more relevant to educational policy analysis, evaluation, and decision making. They specifically point towards the need for further action to strengthen the recognition of children as rights holders and learners, their right to freely express their opinion in education and meaningfully participate in the development of programmes that affect their lives, bringing children’s expectations and interests at the core of decisions.

description: When the Flood finally disappeared, according to Genesis 8 Noah sent out first the raven and afterwards the dove as messengers. According to the Hebrew Bible, both birds returned to the ark. According to the Greek Septuaginta and the Vulgata, however, the raven failed and remained absent. Since both versions of the text nevertheless were transmitted to the Western world by Jerome, the question arose of how to unify the stories. The paper sums up the many medieval and early modern approaches to the biblical text, taking into account the long tradition of medieval allegory on the one hand, as well as the search for the sensus litteralis on the other and the attempts to reconcile the different versions of the story. The final section is dedicated to the interpretations developed by early modern physico-theology to explain the different behaviour of the animals. The article demonstrates that even in this case medieval strategies kept their attraction.

An electrochemical fabrication procedure to etch the tips is used to yield reproducible sub-100-nm apex. We also study electron transport through single-molecule junctions formed by a single octanethiol molecule bonded by the thiol anchoring group to a gold electrode and linked to a carbon tip by the methyl group. We observe the presence of conductance plateaus during the stretching of the molecular bridge, which is the signature of the formation of a molecular junction.

description: Some selected catalogs of the effective temperatures for F, G and K stars are analyzed. By an improved technique we estimate the external errors of these catalogs from data intercomparisons. The values of the effective temperatures are then averaged with the appropriate weights to produce a mean homogeneous catalog based on the selected data. This catalog, containing 800 stars, is compared with some other independent catalogs for estimating their external errors. The data may be used as a source of reliable homogeneous values of effective temperatures, together with their errors.

description: Extensive work exists on regular rail network planning; however, few studies exist on the planning and design of ring-radial rail transit systems. With more ring transit lines being planned and built in Asia, Europe and the America’s, a detailed study on ring transit lines is timely. This thesis is based on idealizing transit network in perfect ring-radial transit lines. An analytical model using the continuum approximation approach is first introduced to find the optimal number of radial lines considering a city with a radio-centric street network. An approximate analytical model for ring-radial rail network planning is then introduced allowing analysis of the feasibility and optimal alignment of a ring transit line in a city. The city of Calgary‘s light rail transit network and Shanghai metro network are used to illustrate the applicability and transferability of the model. The model is then extended to allow simultaneous consideration of radial and ring lines and analyzing a transit network with partial ring and radial lines. This extension allows a more realistic idealization and analysis of rail transit networks. A benchmark analysis of cities with ring transit lines is used to identify prominent types of lines in idealized ring-radial transit networks. The cities are then assessed based on their unique network patterns using identical model inputs such as length of rail transit network and trip distribution patterns. This thesis provides a decision support tool for transit planners to compare the performance of different rail transit network extension alternatives for long-term rail transit planning. It can also be used for cost- benefit analysis to compare total generalized passenger cost savings versus the cost of network extension. Unlike simulations and agent-based models, this model is shown to be easily transferable to many ring-radial transit networks. Therefore, with a daily OD trip matrix and transit network supply characteristics and parameters as input, the model can be implemented for many radio-centric cities. The benchmark analysis using the combined universal ring-radial rail transit network model is a mathematically sound platform to compare different rail transit networks and propose the best examples of rail network topologies.

description: In conditional copula models, the copula parameter is deterministically linked to a covariate via the calibration function. The latter is of central interest for inference and is usually estimated nonparametrically. However, when a parametric model for the calibration function is appropriate, the resulting estimator exhibits significant gains in statistical efficiency and requires smaller computational costs. We develop methodology for testing a parametric formulation of the calibration function against a general alternative and propose a generalized likelihood ratio-type test that enables conditional copula model diagnostics. We derive the asymptotic null distribution of the proposed test and study its finite sample performance using simulations. The method is applied to two data examples.

description: We show a new path to ε~0 materials without resorting to metal-based metamaterial composites. A medium that can be modeled using Lorentz oscillators usually displays ε=0 crossing points, e.g. ε=0 at λ~7μm and 20μm for SiO2 and CaF2, respectively. We show that a Lorentz medium yields a singularity-driven enhancement of the electric field followed by dramatic lowering of thresholds for a plethora of nonlinear optical phenomena. We illustrate the remarkable enhancement of second and third harmonic generation in a layer of ε~0 material 20nm thick, and discuss the role of nonlinear surface sources.

description: Today, technology surrounds our lives and for most families and schools, digital screens have become essential. At the same time, young children are being exposed to these screens at an earlier age. In almost every region exists organisms that investigate the possible harmful effects of overexposure to screen-time during early childhood. Despite this, most Spanish studies either exclude young children (0-6 years). As a result of COVID-19 pandemic, several new articles have been produced with the aim of analyzing the situation, anticipating possible consequences and providing action strategies and healthy routines for families and schools. Throughout this study, we will analyze the current literature on the issue from three different fields of study with the aim to compare Spanish (national) and international research. Once the keywords were established (preschool, early childhood, young children, screen, ITC and guidelines) a systematic literature research was done in two databases: Google Scholar and Scopus. The results were filtered to return only journal articles published in the last 10 years. Articles found in Google Scholar by December 2021 with keywords in the title: in English n= 264; in Spanish n = 2. Articles found in Scopus with keywords anywhere in the text: International n = 45.865; National n= 2.875. Many of these studies are focused only on analyzing screen-time from a health perspective. Fewer studies approach the problem from a holistic perspective or show the importance of the problem but don’ t offer alternatives and solutions. “Educación infantil” and “TIC” are the most frequently used terms in Spanish research, while in English research are “preschool” and “screen”.

Studies of Small Air Bubble Motion in Turbulent Pipe Flow

description: This dissertation conducts a systematic study of the hydrodynamics of a small single bubble in turbulent horizontal channel flow. The effects of Reynolds number on bubble formation and its shape, velocity, and trajectory were investigated experimentally. A Shack Hartman wavefront sensor and a high-speed video camera were used to collect images at various points downstream from the bubble injection point. This provided information on bubble size, velocity, and spatial location as a function of Reynolds number. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to measure both mean and turbulent liquid velocity statistical profiles. The data collected using PIV coupled with the analysis of the three-dimensional trajectory of a single bubble completely characterizes the flow. As a result, the optimal parameters for bubble formation in a horizontal channel are found in terms of the bubble injection velocity at the injection nozzle, and the necessary bubble volume for stabilization. Specifically, it is found that the bubble shape near the injection nozzle (x=2H, where H is the width of the channel) is not stable but becomes more stable in terms of its shape and orientation in the central section in the vertical direction of the experimental pipe. Investigations of bubble trajectory show that at a distance equal to the channel width from the injection nozzle, the buoyancy force is dominant and, as a result, the bubble trajectory is sufficiently stable and independent of the Reynolds number. Thus, it can be described by equations of motion resulting in a parabolic function. Further away from the nozzle, turbulent effects dominate over the buoyancy force and the bubble trajectory cannot be predicted with certainty for Reynolds numbers greater than 74000. A critical regime was found for the current geometry where a detailed investigation of the streamwise and vertical bubble velocities was conducted to assess the dominant forces controlling them. It is found that the previously mentioned velocity components depend on the Reynolds number. Also, drag and buoyancy forces, in addition to the turbulence dispersion force, are the main factors affecting the bubble velocity. An experimental study of the continuous phase (bubble carrier) velocities allows one to establish a correlation between the turbulent eddies and the bubble motion. The use of a stochastic turbulence force for predicting the bubble trajectory is proposed. This idea is implemented in a numerical model to simulate the bubble trajectory in turbulent pipe flow. It is shown that this model reflects the experimental data within the parameters investigated sufficiently well. Overall, the present study presents a thorough description of bubble formation and behaviour for different Reynolds numbers. All results are given using non-dimensional parameters for researcher’s convenience to reproduce experiments.
Design and Evaluation of a Brief Motivational Intervention to Promote Enrolment in Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Mixed-Methods Feasibility Study

description: Objective: Patients who are referred to exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event stand to benefit from a range of positive CR-related outcomes, including reduced morbidity and mortality. Yet, only 19-34% of eligible patients participate in CR in the United States and Canada. Motivational interviewing could be useful for encouraging CR enrolment, but empirical support does not exist. Research that examines patients’ decision-making about CR enrolment is needed to inform effective motivational intervention in this context. Methods: A two-part study was conducted to design and evaluate a brief motivational intervention to enhance intention to attend a 12-week CR program. Part 1 involved a qualitative examination of decision-making about CR enrolment using semi-structured interviews with ACS patients following CR referral but prior to enrolment (n = 14). A brief motivational intervention was subsequently designed to target obstacles to CR identified by patients in Part 1. Part 2 involved a two-group randomized controlled trial to examine preliminary efficacy and mechanisms of the intervention, using a usual care control group (n = 96). The primary outcome was intention to attend CR. Secondary outcomes included CR beliefs, CR barriers, self-efficacy, illness perception, social support, CR enrolment/adherence, and intervention acceptability. Results: Thematic analysis of qualitative data in Part 1 suggested the intervention should aim to bolster anticipated benefits of CR; assist patients in overcoming concerns about exercise, transportation, finances, and scheduling; and address contextual variables such as emotional distress and knowledge gaps. Randomization to the motivational intervention was associated with greater intention to attend CR (p = .001), greater perceived necessity of CR (p = .036), lower exercise concerns (p = .011), and higher CR adherence (p = .008), compared to usual care. Conclusions: Results provide preliminary evidence for the efficacy of a brief motivational intervention to enhance intention to attend CR. Implementing strategies that enhance the perceived necessity of CR and reduce exercise concerns may help improve adherence to CR following an ACS event. This body of work will help optimize efforts to promote participation in an under-utilized, cost-effective program that significantly improves ACS outcomes.

description: The Seebeck coefficients, electrical resistivities, total thermal conductivities, and magnetization are reported for temperatures between 5 and 350 K for n-type Bi0.88Sb0.12 nano-composite alloys made by Ho-doping at the 0, 1 and 3% atomic levels. The alloys were prepared using a dc hot-pressing method, and are shown to be single phase for both Ho contents with grain sizes on the average of 900 nm. We find the parent compound has a maximum of ZT = 0.28 at 231 K, while doping 1% Ho increases the maximum ZT to 0.31 at 221 K and the 3% doped sample suppresses the maximum ZT = 0.24 at a temperature of 260 K.

description: A set of groundwater samples was collected from a series of groundwater wells with known contamination from BTEX compounds. From these groundwater samples native bacterial cultures were enriched for the reduction of either nitrate or sulphate coupled to the oxidation of benzene or toluene. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted with these enriched bacterial cultures to assess the isotope effects on nitrogen and sulphur during denitrification and bacterial sulphate reduction (BSR). N and S isotope fractionation in nitrate and sulphate was observed during the experiments. N and S isotope enrichment factors (ε) were determined for both benzene and toluene biodegradation. These unique ε values can be used in a field setting to determine the predominant biodegradation reaction occurring in groundwater contaminated with BTEX compounds.

description: Eating disorders and obesity are often represented as separate concerns. Despite research showing that eating disorders and obesity can be represented along a spectrum of eating- and weight-related concerns, practitioners and researchers continue to work in opposition. Using a social constructionist, situational analysis, I explored how food, eating, and weight were differently represented according to cultural discourses evident at eating disorder conferences and obesity conferences by examining food menus and abstracts of presentations. I identified discursive tensions across and within the eating disorder and obesity fields regarding representations of (a) food presentation at conferences, (b) acceptable eating behaviors, and (c) beliefs about individual responsibility for weight. My analysis suggests a need for more effective, coordinated communications across the eating disorder and obesity fields to enhance prevention-oriented practice, and underscores the important roles of psychologists in assisting their clients to develop alternate ways of relating to food, eating, and their bodies.

description: This investigation provides insights into the significance of community art in community development through a case study investigation of the Queer, Imaging, and Riting, Kollective of Elders (Quirke). I use collaborative documentary video as both a method and a text to address two research aims. First, I explore Quirke members’ experiences as part of the Arts, Health, and Seniors Project. Second, I examine significant outcomes of using collaborative documentary video as a research and communication tool. I argue that individual and collective empowerment through building skills, interconnections, and confidence is of central significance to Quirke members’ experiences. I also argue that documentary video informed by a collaborative, structured process may produce mutually beneficial outcomes for researchers, participants, and program administrators. While this study is limited by its context specific nature, it nonetheless contributes to our collective understanding of community art programs and collaborative video.

In combination with SQUID measurements of magnetization and anisotropy energy, this leads to an estimate of the exchange stiffness and domain wall width in these films. These parameters are essential for determining whether domain walls will form in patterned structures and devices made of such materials.

description: Many people try addictive drugs, but only a small percentage transition from situational/recreational use to the escalating, compulsive, and relapsing disorder of addiction. It is therefore important to characterize the individual differences that render individuals vulnerable to addiction. Substantial evidence suggests that individual differences in early life experience, biological sex, personality traits, and neurobiology of the reward system are all associated with the development of addiction. A dimensional model of how all these factors relate to addiction is necessary, but simultaneously and experimentally probing all these processes in humans is impossible. I therefore conducted a large-scale study to explore these phenomena in rats. Throughout ‘adolescence’ (PND 21-35), I exposed a group of rats to a variety of stressors [i.e., forced-swim, restraint, predator odour, food-restriction, and social isolation; termed ‘early life adversity’ (ELA)]. As adults (PND 60-140), I assessed them on numerous addiction-relevant behavioural traits (i.e., impulsivity, anxiety, novelty-preference, and attraction to reward cues). After trait assessment, I observed the rats’ propensity to self-administer the opiate remifentanil. I then killed a subset of rats and quantified DA receptor mRNA in the mPFC. ELA decreased impulsivity and decreased the rate of acquisition of opiate self-administration in male rats only. Compared to males, female rats exhibited greater anxiety-like behaviour and potentiated opioid self-administration. Anxiety-like behaviour and attraction to reward cues predicted several addiction-relevant behaviours.

description: Data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) had a profound impact on the understanding of a variety of physical processes in the early phases of the Universe and on the estimation of the cosmological parameters. Here, the 7-year WMAP data are used to trace the disk and the halo of the nearby giant spiral galaxy M31. We analyzed the temperature excess in three WMAP bands (W, V, and Q) by dividing the region of the sky around M31 into several concentric circular areas. We studied the robustness of the detected temperature excess by considering 500 random control fields in the real WMAP maps and simulating 500 sky maps from the best-fitted cosmological parameters. By comparing the obtained temperature contrast profiles with the real ones towards the M31 galaxy, we find that the temperature asymmetry in the M31 disk is fairly robust, while the effect in the halo is weaker. An asymmetry in the mean microwave temperature in the M31 disk along the direction of the M31 rotation is observed with a temperature contrast up to about 130 microK/pixel. We also find a temperature asymmetry in the M31 halo, which is much weaker than for the disk, up to a galactocentric distance of about 10 degrees (120 kpc) with a peak temperature contrast of about 40 microK/pixel. Although the confidence level of the signal is not high, if estimated purely statistically, which could be expected due to the weakness of the effect, the geometrical structure of the temperature asymmetry points towards a definite effect modulated by the rotation of the M31 halo. This result might open a new way to probe these relatively less studied galactic objects using high-accuracy CMB measurements, such as those with the Planck satellite or planned balloon-based experiments, which could prove or disprove our conclusions.

description: The nuclear bulge is a region with a radius of about 200 parsecs around the centre of the Milky Way. It contains stars with ages ranging from a few million years to over a billion years, yet its star-formation history and the triggering process for star formation remain to be resolved. Recently, episodic star formation, powered by changes in the gas content, has been suggested. Classical Cepheid variable stars have pulsation periods that decrease with increasing age, so it is possible to probe the star-formation history on the basis of the distribution of their periods. Here we report the presence of three classical Cepheids in the nuclear bulge with pulsation periods of approximately 20 days, within 40 parsecs (projected distance) of the central black hole. No Cepheids with longer or shorter periods were found. We infer that there was a period about 25 million years ago, and possibly lasting until recently, in which star formation increased relative to the period of 30-70 million years ago.

description: Origin essentialism gained prominence following Saul Kripke's endorsement of the view in Naming and Necessity. Since Kripke, several authors have developed arguments for origin essentialism; yet, no argument currently on offer adequately defends the view. In this thesis, I examine four arguments for origin essentialism and argue that each is unsuccessful. I offer a counter-model against the view that origin essentialism is a consequence of Kripke's work in Naming and Necessity. I show that Nathan Salmon's refinement of Kripke's argument for origin essentialism fails because it assumes an implausible principle. I discuss Graeme Forbes's argument, which proceeds from the assumptions of the necessity of identity and that there are no bare truths concerning identity, and show that origin essentialism is not a consequence of those assumptions. Lastly, I show that a branching model of possibility fails as a basis for a persuasive defence of origin essentialism due to implausible consequences.

Remarks on the complex branch points in pi-N scattering amplitude and the multiple poles structure of resonances

description: A simple heuristic argument to understand the existence of branch points in the unphysical sheet for pi-N scattering amplitude is presented. It is based on a hypothesis that the singularity structure of the pi-N scattering amplitude is a smooth varying function of the pion mass. We find that, in general, multiple poles structure of a resonance is a direct mathematical consequence when additional Riemann surface is included in the study and the two-pole structure found to correspond to the Roper resonance is a good example.

description: Introduction: In tandem with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), integrated mobile Health (mHealth) applications (apps) are important for the rapidly evolving digital healthcare. However, there are limited studies exploring on mHealth apps especially among medical students. Thus, we aim to assess the awareness, attitude and practice of mHealth apps among medical students. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study among medical students in a government university in Sarawak from January to April 2021. Validated questionnaires on basic demographics, awareness, attitude and practice on mHealth apps (medical education, health and fitness and COVID-19 management) were administered to all consented students. Results: More than half of the respondents had high awareness for mHealth apps (medical education (61.8%), health & fitness (76.3%) and COVID-19 management (82.7%). Positive attitude towards these apps were observed (97.2%, 98.4% and 97.5% respectively). However, less than half of the respondents have installed the medical education apps (n=89, 35.7%) and health and fitness apps (n=97, 39%) (Fig. 2). The practice of medical education apps was significantly associated with household income of the respondents (p<0.05) whereby the usage was seen most in T20 category (Table 1). Respondents’ uncertainty to choose suitable apps was the most common barrier reported to the use of medical education apps (n=110, 68.8%) and health and fitness apps (n=112,73.7%) (Fig. 3). Discussion/Conclusion: The medical students had good awareness and attitude towards mHealth apps. However, the practice of using mHealth apps was relatively low. Thus, efforts to address the barriers and the promotion of use of mHealth apps are necessary.

description: Understanding the origin and diversity of emission processes responsible for Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) remains a pressing challenge. While prompt and contemporaneous panchromatic observations have the potential to test predictions of the internal-external shock model, extensive multiband imaging has been conducted for only a few GRBs. We present rich, early-time, multiband datasets for two \swift\ events, GRB 110205A and GRB 110213A. The former shows optical emission since the early stages of the prompt phase, followed by the steep rising in flux up to ~1000s after the burst ($t^{-α}$ with $α=-6.13 \pm 0.75$). We discuss this feature in the context of the reverse-shock scenario and interpret the following single power-law decay as being forward-shock dominated. Polarization measurements, obtained with the RINGO2 instrument mounted on the Liverpool Telescope, also provide hints on the nature of the emitting ejecta. The latter event, instead, displays a very peculiar optical to near-infrared lightcurve, with two achromatic peaks. In this case, while the first peak is probably due to the onset of the afterglow, we interpret the second peak to be produced by newly injected material, signifying a late-time activity of the central engine.
