description: Our objective was to examine the association between healthcare payer type and missed HIV care visits among 1,366 US women living with HIV (WLWH) enrolled in the prospective Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS). We collected secondary patient-level data (October 1, 2017-September 30, 2018) from WLWH at nine WIHS sites. We used bivariate and multivariable binary logistic regression to examine the relationship between healthcare payer type (cross-classification of patients’ ADAP and health insurance enrollment) and missed visits-based retention in care, defined as no-show appointments for which patients did not reschedule. Our sample included all WLWH who self-reported having received HIV care at least once during the two consecutive biannual WIHS visits a year prior to October 1, 2017-September 30, 2018. In the bivariate model, compared to uninsured WLWH without ADAP, WLWH with private insurance + ADAP were more likely to be retained in care, as were WLWH with Medicaid only and private insurance only. In the adjusted model, WLWH with private insurance only were more likely to be retained in care compared to uninsured WLWH without ADAP. Private health insurance and ADAP are associated with increased odds of retention in care among WLWH.

description: Let $\mathcal{I}$ be an ideal on $ω$. For $f,g\inω^ω$ we write $f \leq_{\mathcal{I}} g$ if $f(n) \leq g(n)$ for all $n\inω\setminus A$ with some $A\in\mathcal{I}$. Moreover, we denote $\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}}=\{f\inω^ω: f^{-1}[\{n\}]\in\mathcal{I} \text{ for every $n\in ω$}\}$ (in particular, $\mathcal{D}_{Fin}$ denotes the family of all finite-to-one functions). We examine cardinal numbers $\mathfrak{b}(\geq_{\mathcal{I}}\cap (\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}} \times \mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}}))$ and $\mathfrak{b}(\geq_{\mathcal{I}}\cap (\mathcal{D}_{Fin}\times \mathcal{D}_{Fin}))$ describing the smallest sizes of unbounded from below with respect to the order $\leq_{\mathcal{I}}$ sets in $\mathcal{D}_{Fin}$ and $\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}}$, respectively. For a maximal ideal $\mathcal{I}$, these cardinals were investigated by M. Canjar in connection with coinitial and cofinal subsets of the ultrapowers. We show that $\mathfrak{b}(\geq_{\mathcal{I}}\cap (\mathcal{D}_{Fin} \times \mathcal{D}_{Fin})) =\mathfrak{b}$ for all ideals $\mathcal{I}$ with the Baire property and that $\aleph_1 \leq \mathfrak{b}(\geq_{\mathcal{I}}\cap (\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}} \times \mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}})) \leq\mathfrak{b}$ for all coanalytic weak P-ideals (this class contains all $Π^0_4$ ideals). What is more, we give examples of Borel (even $Σ^0_2$) ideals $\mathcal{I}$ with $\mathfrak{b}(\geq_{\mathcal{I}}\cap (\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}} \times \mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}}))=\mathfrak{b}$ as well as with $\mathfrak{b}(\geq_{\mathcal{I}}\cap (\mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}} \times \mathcal{D}_{\mathcal{I}})) =\aleph_1$.

description: To explore the associations of urbanicity with clinical/behavioral outcomes and sociodemographic factors among women living with HIV in the Southern United States, 523 participants of the Women’s Interagency HIV Study were classified into population density quartiles. Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes revealed that 7% resided in areas where >30% commute to urban areas, 2% resided in small towns or rural areas, and 91% resided in varying densities of urban areas. Although women in lower density, mostly suburban areas reported higher socioeconomic indicators such as advanced education and greater annual household income, larger proportions of women in the lowest density quartile perceived discrimination in health care settings and agreed with several internalized HIV stigma scale items. Women in the lower quartiles had higher CD4 counts, while those in the lowest quartile were more likely to have a suppressed HIV viral load, report being employed, and not report a history of drug use or current heavy alcohol use. More research is needed to understand the interplay between population density and mechanisms contributing to HIV control as well as increased internalized stigma and perceived discrimination, along with how to target interventions to improve outcomes for individuals with HIV across urban, suburban, and rural areas.

description: Objective: To measure mortality incidence rates and incidence rate ratios (IRR) in adolescents and youth living with perinatally acquired HIV (YPHIV) compared with those living with nonperinatally acquired HIV (YNPHIV), by region, by sex, and during the ages of 10-14, 15-19, and 20-24 years in IeDEA. Design and methods: All those with a confirmed HIV diagnosis, antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive at enrollment, and who have post-ART follow-up while aged 10-24 years between 2004 and 2016 were included. We estimated post-ART mortality incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) per 100 person-years for YPHIV (enrolled into care <10 years of age) and YNPHIV (enrolled ≥10 years and <25 years). We estimate mortality IRRs in a negative binomial regression model, adjusted for sex, region time-varying age, CD4+cell count at ART initiation (<350cells/μl, ≥350cells/μl, unknown), and time on ART (<12 and ≥12 months). Results: Overall, 104846 adolescents and youth were included: 21340 (20%) YPHIV (50% women) and 83506 YNPHIV (80% women). Overall mortality incidence ratios were higher among YNPHIV (incidence ratio: 2.3/100 person-years; 95% CI: 2.2-2.4) compared with YPHIV (incidence ratio: 0.7/100 person-years; 95% CI: 0.7-0.8). Among adolescents aged 10-19 years, mortality was lower among YPHIV compared with YNPHIV (all IRRs <1, ranging from 0.26, 95% CI: 0.13-0.49 in 10-14-year-old boys in the Asia-Pacific to 0.51, 95% CI: 0.30-0.87 in 15-19-year-old boys in West Africa). Conclusion: We report substantial amount of deaths occurring during adolescence. Mortality was significantly higher among YNPHIV compared to YPHIV. Specific interventions including HIV testing and early engagement in care are urgently needed to improve survival among YNPHIV.

description: Abstract: In the world of education, efforts to improve quality should always be carried out, both conventionally and innovatively. To be able to improve the quality of education, it is necessary to improve and improve the teaching and learning process. Likewise with education in  pesantren, where pesantren must also always be open to the times, but cannot be separated from its spirit as a pesantren which is a place for regeneration of ulama' which is not identical to the book of turats (yellow book). From various efforts so that students in addition to having to be able to understand the yellow book, are also required to know others. Therefore, one of them can be done by managing the yellow book curriculum based on learning acceleration so that learning objectives are achieved effectively and efficiently. The objectives of this study are: (1) knowing curriculum management, (2) knowing the yellow book reading curriculum based on accelerated learning. This research on curriculum management based on accelerated learning uses a qualitative approach, the subjects in this study are informants, supervisors, and students at Pondok Modern Darul Khoirot Tirtoyudo, Malang. The data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. The study yielded findings. First, the management of  the yellow reading curriculum at Pondok Modern Darul Khoirot Tirtoyudo Malang is effective  with  indicators, among others, planning carried out by the manager, acceptance of new participants, implementation that runs with maksimal and the output produced is also fairly good.  Second, the yellow book reading curriculum based on accelerated learning that is carried out is also efficient by looking at the achievements that should be achieved within one year or two semesters, after implementing it only takes one semester, even though students  are able to apply the provisions in Nahwu and Shorof.

description: The research focused on integrating the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) approach to enhance the two selected literacy programs namely, the Reading Enhancement and Appreciation Development Program (READ) and the Environmental Awareness Program (EAP) that are being implemented by a university volunteer service program. Utilizing a multi-case research design, the study identified and described the components of the two selected literacy programs in terms of the programs' plan, design, implementation, and assessment and evaluation. The above-mentioned components of the selected literacy programs were evaluated to be either
 consistent or inconsistent with the OBE approach. From the findings, a literacy program model that integrates the nature and principles of the OBE approach was provided. The recommended literacy program highlighted the need for the program outcomes to be aligned with the Institutional Vision, Mission, and Goals (VMGs) and with the global and national education standards. Clear specific program outcomes for
 all the main beneficiaries which include the volunteer facilitators and the learners should be identified. For the plan, reviewing current literacy program objectives, identifying modified literacy program objectives, identifying target learners, conducting needs assessment, accomplishing learner profile with the aid of reliable instruments, including various stakeholders in the program plan, identifying the strategies to ensure program sustainability, and constructing a clear process map for the key people involved were recommended. For the design, identifying the program outcome, integrating specific literacy models and theories in the development of the program and learning outcomes and modules, integrating the OBE framework in the development of the program and learning outcomes and modules, including various stakeholders in the program design, and retooling of key people on module development were recommended. For implementation, integrating experiential learning and participatory approaches and of OBE in teaching-learning systems were recommended. For assessment and evaluation, identifying performance indicators and targets and tools for assessment and integrating program, effectiveness, impact, and policy evaluations were recommended.

description: In this work we review the formalism normally used in the literature about the effects of density-dependent magnetic fields on the properties of neutron and quark stars, expose some ambiguities that arise and propose a way to solve the related problem. Our approach explores more deeply the concept of pressure, yielding the so called chaotic magnetic field formalism for the stress tensor. We also use a different way of introducing a variable magnetic field, which depends on the energy density rather than on the baryonic density, which allows us to build a parameter free model.

description: Introduction: Evaluating outcomes of paediatric patients with HIV provides crucial data for clinicians and policymakers. We analysed mortality and clinical events rates among children, adolescents, and youth with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV) aged 0 to 24 years stratified by time-varying age and CD4, before and after antiretroviral therapy (ART), in the paediatric IeDEA multiregional collaboration (East, West, Central and Southern Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Central/South America and the Caribbean). Methods: ART-naïve children with HIV enrolled before age 10 (proxy for perinatal infection) at IeDEA sites between 2004 and 2016, with ≥1 CD4 measurement during follow-up were included. We estimated incidence rates (IR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of mortality and first occurrence of WHO-4 and WHO-3 events, excluding tuberculosis, during person-years (PY) spent within different age (<2, 2 to 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 14, 15 to 19, 20 to 24) and CD4 (percent when <5 years [<15%, 15% to 24%, ≥25%]; count when ≥5 years [<200, 200 to 499, ≥500 cells/µL]) strata. We used linear mixed models to predict CD4 evolution, with trends modelled by region. Results: In the pre-ART period, 49 137 participants contributed 51 966 PY of follow-up (median enrolment age: 3.9 years). The overall pre-ART IRs were 2.8/100 PY (95% CI: 2.7 to 2.9) for mortality, 3.3/100 PY (95% CI: 3.0 to 3.5) for first occurrence of a WHO-4 event, and 7.0/100 PY (95% CI: 6.7 to 7.4) for first occurrence of a WHO-3 event. Lower CD4 and younger age strata were associated with increased rates of both mortality and first occurrence of a clinical event. In the post-ART period, 52 147 PHIVY contributed 207 945 PY (ART initiation median age: 4.5 years). Overall mortality IR was 1.4/100 PY (95% CI: 1.4 to 1.5) and higher in low CD4 strata; patients at each end of the age spectrum (<2 and >19) had increased mortality post-ART. IRs for first occurrence of WHO-4 and WHO-3 events were 1.3/100 PY (95% CI: 1.2 to 1.4) and 2.1/100 PY (95% CI: 2.0 to 2.2) respectively. These were also associated with lower CD4 and younger age strata. Conclusions: Mortality and incidence of clinical events were highest in both younger (<2 years) and older (>19 years) youth with PHIV. Scaling-up services for <2 years (early access to HIV diagnosis and care) and >19 years (adolescent- and youth-focused health services) is critical to improve outcomes among PHIVY.

A Late Bronze Age metalwork hoard from the North Downs at Little Woodcote, Wallington, Surrey
Creators: name: Cotton, Jonathan

description: Surrey Archaeological Collections, 106, 1-61
description: A substantial hoard of Late Bronze Age metalwork recovered with the aid of a metal-detector from the northward-facing dip-slope of the North Downs in late 1993 is catalogued, and its position within the local and wider regional sequence outlined. Here designated Little Woodcote I, the hoard is ascribed to the recently defined cross-channel Boughton-Venat/late Carps Tongue complex and can be dated to the latter part of the Ewart Park phase of the British Late Bronze Age, c 1020-800 BC (LBA3). As originally reported, the hoard comprises 126 objects with a total weight of nearly 28kg (c 61 lbs), making it the largest extant such deposit known from the historic county. It is chiefly composed of two categories of objects: axes of end-winged and socketed form, and fragments of plano-convex copper ingots. Other object categories, each represented by a single item, comprise a more or less complete socketed gouge, a sword fragment of likely Ewart Park type, and a curated fragment of Breton palstave, the latter of continental Bronze Moyen III date (equivalent to the British Taunton phase of the Middle Bronze Age, c 1400--1250 BC), buried out-of-time. The status of an additional seven pieces of Late Bronze Age metalwork from the site that surfaced on two separate occasions, three in the mid-1990s and a further four in 2009, respectively, remains unclear. Together, these comprise two end-winged axes (one complete), two fragments of Carps Tongue sword, and three fragments of ingot with a combined weight of 725.14g (c 1.5 lbs). Some, none, or all these additional pieces may comprise strays from the original find, or some, none, or all may belong to a second reportedly equally sizeable hoard here conveniently designated Little Woodcote II. Although few details are now verifiable, this was apparently found some twenty paces to the east two or three days after the first discovery and its contents (which included large axes) dispersed. Initially deposited with the British Museum for identification and recording, Little Woodcote I was subsequently transferred to Guildford Museum for conservation and further study. From 2002 until 2023 it was loaned to the Museum of London (together with the three additional pieces that had come to light in the mid-1990s) before being returned to Guildford Museum in April 2023. (The four pieces reported in 2009 remain in private hands.) No detailed microscopic use-wear or metallurgical analysis has been undertaken on the contents of the first hoard. While desirable, this is beyond the scope of the present contribution, which now supersedes the original notification of the discovery (Cotton Needham 1999).
Unadorned beauty, public enjoyment and safeguarding amenities at Box Hill, 1914-1950

description: Surrey Archaeological Collections, 106, 63-100
description: How might a place become special through the practices of preserving and accessing open space in the era of two world wars? Box Hill, with its sheepwalk, arable fields and beech, box and yew woods, was a well-established popular resort for Londoners by 1914. Donated to the National Trust that year, the Hill's maintenance, in its 'natural state', was an uncharted local undertaking. The process of safeguarding this unadorned open space for public enjoyment in the years 1914-50 is explored with reference to Lord Farrer's address in 1920, the memorial viewpoint, points of interest on the plateau, the litter nuisance, woodland repair and replenishment, wandering in open space, the protection of wild plants and turf slopes, the bird sanctuary and anti-invasion defence, road maintenance and the restored stepping stones. Voluntary social action, calls for better citizenship and a polite culture in the countryside converged to sustain the Hill's genius loci. However, new modes of leisured consumption and motorised technologies were encountered, where the only landscape design element appeared to be 'Beauty when unadorned adorned the most'. Familiar, if not everyday, unspoiled scenery of forested heights, secluded coombes and chalky slopes was locally sustained by upkeep rather than embellishment, until the national 'stocktaking' of natural resources after 1945. Documentary sources consulted include the Box Hill Management Committee minute books and newspaper cuttings, the records of amenity organisations and local authorities, and poetry and prose arising from individual and group experiences of the Hill.
Neural correlates of reading on the autism spectrum

description: Individuals with autism without obvious language delays can show intact abilities to read aloud as evident by equal or better performance in both word and pseudoword (pronounceable nonword) reading compared to their neurotypical counterparts, however, struggle when it comes to retrieving word meaning. While there is an extensive literature on single word reading differences at the behavioral level, there are currently no studies that examine those reading differences at the neural level, among individuals with autism. Here we examined behavioral and neural responses to words and pseudowords (pronounceable nonsense words) while reading aloud between autistic individuals and neurotypicals in order to gain a better understanding of the neural differences in word processing among individuals with autism. Linear regression analyses for reaction time (RT) to words revealed an interaction effect between group and imageability in which individuals with autism showed greater reduction in RT as word imageability increased. Whole-brain analyses revealed activations in similar areas between groups, with the largest clusters of activation occurring within the left superior temporal gyrus for neurotypicals for words and within the left precentral gyrus for the autism group for both words and pseudowords. Modulations of neural activity word frequency were only observed in the neurotypical group, with increased word frequency associated with decreased activity in the left middle frontal gyrus and increased activity in the right anterior temporal lobe and angular gyrus. Effects for pseudoword consistency were only observed in the AUT group in which increased pseudoword consistency was associated with decreased activity in bilateral intraparietal sulcus and inferior parietal lobule. These results open up interesting possibilities on the functionality single word processing in autism that are in line with the current neurocognitive theories of autism. Future studies should consider focusing on examining how potential differences in brain and behavior responses of processing words in autism are related to the features and characteristics that are associated with written words.

description: Global Health ist durch die Ausrichtung auf weltweite gesundheitliche Chancengleichheit (Health Equity) bereits ein normativ bestimmtes Gebiet. Es bedarf aber zur Bestimmung und Beurteilung von Verantwortlichkeiten und geeigneten Ansätzen weiterer sozialethischer Reflexion. Diese muss einerseits universale Standards wie die Menschenrechte berücksichtigen, andererseits durch Einbeziehung naturräumlicher, sozioökonomischer und soziokultureller Kontextualität Eurozentrismus vermeiden. Nur so kann in den unterschiedlichen Handlungsfeldern, die vom individuellen Konsum über bilaterale Projekte und Programme bis zur globalen Gesundheits- und Entwicklungspolitik reichen, ein Vorgehen ermöglicht werden, das den Aspekten von Gesundheit als verantwortbarem Gemeinwohl entspricht. Denn Gemeinwohl kann sowohl durch Partikularinteressen Mächtiger gefährdet werden als auch – im utilitaristischen Missverständnis – den Bedürfnissen marginalisierter Gruppen und Individuen nicht genügend gerecht werden.
description: By focussing global health equity, global health itself is already a normatively defined area. Further ethical reflection is, however, needed to determine and assess responsibilities and appropriate approaches. This must take into account universal standards such as human rights, but also incorporate ecological, socio-economic and socio-cultural contextuality and thereby avoid Eurocentrism. Thus, in the various fields of action ranging from individual consumption via bilateral projects and programmes to global health and development policy, ways can be found that correspond to the aspects of health as a common good. After all, the common good is threatened in two ways, by the particular interests of powerful minorities and – in the utilitarian misunderstanding – by not adequately meeting the needs of marginalized groups and individuals with reference to a majority.

description: Global spread of anoxia in aquatic ecosystems has become a major issue that may potentially worsen due to global warming. The reconstruction of long-term hypolimnetic anoxia records can be challenging due to lack of valid and easily measurable proxies. The sedimentary Mn/Fe ratio measured by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is often used as a proxy for past lake redox conditions. Yet the interpretation of this ratio can be problematic when Fe and Mn accumulation is not solely redox driven. We used the varved sediments of Lake Moossee (Switzerland) to examine the partitioning of Fe and Mn in seven fractions by sequential extraction under various oxygen conditions over the last 15,000 years. We combined this data with XRF scans and an independent diagnostic proxy for anoxia given by a hyperspectral imaging (HSI)-inferred record of bacteriopheophytin, to validate the use of the XRF-Mn/Fe ratio as redox proxy. In the 15,000-year long record, Fe was bound to humins and amorphous, crystalline, sulfide and residual forms. Mn was mainly present in carbonate and amorphous forms. Higher erosion, prolonged anoxia, diagenesis and humic matter input affected Fe and Mn accumulation. Under holomixis the XRF-Mn/Fe ratio successfully reflected lake redox conditions. Periods with higher detrital Fe input obscured the applicability of the ratio. During phases of permanent anoxia, intensified early diagenetic processes trapped Mn in the sediments in carbonate, crystalline oxide and humic forms. Our study shows that the single use of the XRF-Mn/Fe ratio is often not conclusive for inferring past lake redox conditions. The application of the XRF-Mn/Fe as a proxy for anoxia requires taking into account the individual lake characteristics and changes in lake environmental conditions, which affect the accumulation of Fe and Mn in the sediments.

description: Background: People with HIV are disproportionately coinfected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and experience accelerated liver-related mortality. Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) yield high sustained virologic response (SVR) rates, but uptake is suboptimal. This study characterizes the DAA-era HCV treatment cascade and barriers among US men and women with or at risk for HIV. Methods: We constructed HCV treatment cascades using the Women's Interagency HIV Study (women, 6 visits, 2015-2018, n=2447) and Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (men, 1 visit, 2015-2018, n=2221). Cascades included treatment-eligible individuals (ie, HCV RNA-positive or reported DAAs). Surveys captured self-reported clinical (eg, CD4), patient (eg, missed visits), system (eg, appointment access), and financial/insurance barriers. Results: Of 323/92 (women/men) treatment eligible, most had HIV (77%/70%); 69%/63% were black. HIV-positive women were more likely to attain cascade outcomes than HIV-negative women (39% vs 23% initiated, 21% vs 12% SVR); similar discrepancies were noted for men. Black men and substance users were treated less often. Women initiating treatment (vs not) reported fewer patient barriers (14%/33%). Among men not treated, clinical barriers were prevalent (53%). Conclusions: HIV care may facilitate HCV treatment linkage and barrier navigation. HIV-negative individuals, black men, and substance users may need additional support.

description: Introduction: Foreign-born persons comprise ~13% of the US population. Immigrants, especially women, often face a complex set of social and structural factors that negatively impact health outcomes including greater risk of HIV infection. We described socio-demographic, clinical and immunological characteristics and AIDs and non-AIDS death among foreign-born women living with HIV (FBWLWH) participating in the US Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) in the US from 1994 to 2016. We hypothesized that FBW will experience higher AIDS-related mortality compared to US-born women (USBW). Methods: The WIHS is a multicenter prospective observational cohort study of mostly women living with HIV (WLWH). The primary exposure in this analysis, which focused on 3626 WLWH, was self-reported country of birth collapsed into foreign-born and US born. We assessed the association of birthplace with categorized demographic, clinical and immunological characteristics, and AIDS/non-AIDS mortality of WLWH, using chi-squared tests. Proportional hazard models examined the association of birthplace with time from enrolment to AIDS and non-AIDS death. Results: Of the 628 FBW, 13% were born in Africa, 29% in the Caribbean and 49% in Latin America. We observed significant differences by HIV status in socio-demographic, clinical and immunological characteristics and mortality. For both AIDS and non-AIDS caused deaths FBW WLWH had lower rates of death. Adjusting for year of study enrolment and other demographic/clinical characteristics mitigated FBW’s statistical survival advantage in AIDS deaths Relative Hazard (RH = 0.91 p = 0.53), but did not substantively change the survival advantage in non-AIDS deaths RH = 0.33, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: Foreign-born WLWH exhibited demographic, clinical and immunological characteristics that are significantly different compared with women born in the US or US territory. After adjusting for these characteristics, the FB WLWH had a significantly lower hazard of non-AIDS but not AIDS mortality compared to women born in the US or a US territory. These findings of non-increased mortality can help inform models of care to optimize treatment outcomes among FBWLWH in the United States.

description: A light pseudoscalar of the lepton-specific 2HDM can enhance the muon g-2, but suffer from various constraints easily, such as the 125.5 GeV Higgs signals, non-observation of additional Higgs at the collider and even $B_s\to μ^+μ^-$. In this paper, we take the light CP-even Higgs as the 125.5 GeV Higgs, and examine the implications of those observables on a pseudoscalar with the mass below the half of 125.5 GeV. Also the other relevant theoretical and experimental constraints are considered. We find that the pseudoscalar can be allowed to be as low as 10 GeV, but the corresponding $\tanβ$, $\sin(β-α)$ and the mass of charged Higgs are strongly constrained. In addition, the surviving samples favor the wrong-sign Yukawa coupling region, namely that the 125.5 GeV Higgs couplings to leptons have opposite sign to the couplings to gauge bosons and quarks.

description: We prove a new version of the Holevo bound employing the Hilbert-Schmidt norm instead of the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Suppose Alice is sending classical information to Bob using a quantum channel, while Bob is performing some projective measurement. We bound the classical mutual information in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm by its quantum Hilbert-Schmidt counterpart. This constitutes a Holevo-type upper bound on the classical information transmission rate via a quantum channel. The resulting inequality is rather natural and intuitive relating classical and quantum expressions using the same measure.

description: Introduction: Condomless anal intercourse (AI) confers a far greater likelihood of HIV transmission than condomless vaginal intercourse (VI). However, little is known about AI practice over the life course of women, to what extent AI practice is condom-protected, and whether it is associated with other HIV risk behaviors. We aim to describe longitudinal AI practice among HIV-seronegative women and to identify subgroups with distinct trajectories of AI practice. Methods: Using data from the Women's Interagency HIV Study, an observational cohort of US women with or at risk for HIV, we described AI practice among HIV-seronegative participants. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify distinct AI trajectories. We used multinomial regression to examine associations between baseline characteristics and trajectory group membership. Results: A third of the 1,085 women in our sample reported any AI over follow-up (median follow-up = 14 years). AI decreased more sharply with age compared to VI. Consistent condom use during AI was low: twice the proportion of women never reported using condoms consistently during AI compared to during VI. 5 trajectory groups were identified: AI & VI persistors (N = 75) practiced AI and VI consistently over follow-up (AI & VI desistors (N = 169) tended to practice AI and VI when young only, while VI persistors (N = 549), VI desistors (N = 167), and AI & VI inactives (N = 125) reported varying levels of VI practice, but little AI. AI & VI persistors reported multiple male partners and exchange sex at more visits than other groups. Women who identified as bisexual/lesbian (vs heterosexual), who had ever experienced physical and sexual violence (vs never), and/or who reported above the median number of lifetime male sex partners (vs median or below) had approximately twice the odds of being AI & VI persistors than being VI persistors. Conclusions: We identified a small subgroup of women who practice AI and report inconsistent condom use along with other risk behaviors throughout the life course; they may therefore particularly benefit from ongoing access to HIV prevention services including pre-exposure prophylaxis.

description: Cosmological simulations of Population (Pop) III star formation suggest that the primordial initial mass function may have extended to sub-solar masses. If Pop III stars with masses < 0.8 M_Sun did form, then they should still be present in the Galaxy today as either main sequence or red giant stars. Despite broad searches, however, no primordial stars have yet been identified. It has long been recognized that the initial metal-free nature of primordial stars could be masked due to accretion of metal-enriched material from the interstellar medium (ISM). Here we point out that while gas accretion from the ISM may readily occur, the accretion of dust from the ISM can be prevented due to the pressure of the radiation emitted from low-mass stars. This implies a possible unique chemical signature for stars polluted only via accretion, namely an enhancement in gas phase elements relative to those in the dust phase. Using Pop III stellar models, we outline the conditions in which this signature could be exhibited, and we derive the expected signature for the case of accretion from the local ISM. Intriguingly, due to the large fraction of iron depleted into dust relative to that of carbon and other elements, this signature is similar to that observed in many of the so-called carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. We therefore suggest that some fraction of the observed CEMP stars may, in fact, be accretion-polluted Pop III stars.

description: Position bias, the phenomenon whereby users tend to focus on higher-ranked items of the search result list regardless of the actual relevance to queries, is prevailing in many ranking systems. Position bias in training data biases the ranking model, leading to increasingly unfair item rankings, click-through-rate (CTR), and conversion rate (CVR) predictions. To jointly mitigate position bias in both item CTR and CVR prediction, we propose two position-bias-free CTR and CVR prediction models: Position-Aware Click-Conversion (PACC) and PACC via Position Embedding (PACC-PE). PACC is built upon probability decomposition and models position information as a probability. PACC-PE utilizes neural networks to model product-specific position information as embedding. Experiments on the E-commerce sponsored product search dataset show that our proposed models have better ranking effectiveness and can greatly alleviate position bias in both CTR and CVR prediction.
