description: Neuromeningeal cryptoccosis in an HIV-negative patient in Bamako, Mali

Introduction/Rationale. Neuromeningeal cryptococcosis (NMC) is a common fungal infection in immunocompromised patients with HIV infection. Its rarity outside HIV/AIDS requires a systematic search for other immunosuppressive factors and a differential diagnosis. We report a case of NMC in an immunocompetent patient admitted to the Point G University Hospital Center in Bamako, Mali.

Case description. The patient presented with fever (39.3°C), general deterioration, Glasgow Coma Scale score of 10/15 without motor deficits, neck stiffness, and helmet-like headache unresponsive to analgesics. The patient had a CD4 count of 932 cells/mm3. No other immunosuppressive conditions were noted. The diagnosis of NMC was confirmed based on clinical and microbiologic findings. The patient was successfully treated in Bamako using an alternative protocol with fluconazole, a more accessible, less expensive treatment with fewer side effects compared to amphotericin B.

Discussion/Conclusion. The occurrence of cryptococcosis in an immunocompetent host is rare. However, it can occur in the absence of predisposing factors. Fluconazole is an effective alternative therapy.

Cryptoccose neuroméningée chez un patient VIH négatif à Bamako, Mali

Introduction/Justification. La cryptococcose neuroméningée (CNM) est une infection fongique très fréquente chez les patients immunodéprimés par une infection à VIH. Sa rareté en dehors du VIH/sida doit faire rechercher systématiquement d’autres facteurs favorisant une immunodépression et nécessite de réaliser un diagnostic différentiel. Nous rapportons un cas de CNM chez un patient immunocompétent, hospitalisé au CHU du Point G de Bamako au Mali.

Description du cas. Le patient présentait une fièvre (39,3 °C), une altération de l’état général, un score de Glasgow à 10/15 sans déficit moteur, une raideur de la nuque et des céphalées en casque rebelles aux antalgiques. Il avait un taux de CD4 à 932 cellules/mm3. Aucune autre pathologie immunodépressive n’a été retrouvée. Le diagnostic de CNM a été retenu devant des arguments cliniques et microbiologiques. Le patient a été traité avec succès à Bamako par un protocole alternatif à base de fluconazole, traitement plus accessible, moins couteux avec moins d’effets secondaires que l’amphotéricine B.

Discussion/conclusion. La survenue d’une cryptococcose sur un terrain immunocompétent est rare. Elle peut cependant survenir sans facteur favorisant. Le fluconazole est une alternative thérapeutique efficace.

description: The accelerated urbanization of countries has led the adoption of the smart power grid with an explosion in high power usage. The emergence of Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), also referred to as Energy Disaggregation has followed the recent worldwide adoption of smart meters in smart grids. NILM is a convenient process to analyze composite electrical energy load and determine electrical energy consumption.
A number of state-of-the-art NILM (energy disaggregation) algorithms have been proposed recently to detect various individual appliances from one aggregated signal observation. Different kinds of classification methods such as Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Support Vector Method (SVM), neural networks, fuzzy logic, Naive Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), and many other hybrid approaches have been used to classify the estimated power consumption of electrical appliances from extracted appliances signatures. This study proposes an end-to-end edge computing system with an NILM algorithm, which especially focuses on recognizing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging. This system consists of three main components: (1) Data acquisition and Preprocessing, (2) Extraction of EV charging load via an NILM algorithm (Load identification) on the NILMTK Framework, (3) and Result report to the cloud server platform.
The monitoring of energy consumption through the proposed system is remarkably beneficial for demand response and energy efficiency. It helps to improve the understanding and prediction of power grid stress as well as enhance grid system reliability and resilience of the power grid. Furthermore, it is highly advantageous for the integration of more renewable energies that are under rapid development. As a result, countless potential NILM use-cases are expected from monitoring and identifying energy consumption in a power grid. It would enable smarter power consumption plans for residents as well as more flexible power grid management for electric utility companies, such as Duke Energy and ComEd.

description: Existing literature has made significant contributions to the growth of supply chain resilience (SCRES) research. However, limited guidance exists on evaluating the level of SCRES within the context of cost. This gap is critical as the level of resilience is inherently dependent upon firms financial capabilities. This paper addresses this issue by examining the relationship between resilience and cost at each sustainability pillar from various sectors. A systematic literature review and content analysis led to a critical taxonomy of SCRES assessment methods, capabilities, cost structures, and trade-offs; and the development of a theoretical framework for evaluating SCRES and cost level.

description: This paper is among the first to focus on how to balance supply chain resilience (SCRES) and cost within the context of novel foods, particularly Alternative Proteins (APs). These supply chains (SCs), continuously evolving, must develop resilience for success amid competition and disruptions. However, the perception that resilience is costly has led companies to doubt their ability to afford it. Through semi-structured interviews across four AP SCs, this cost-resilience relationship is explored. This research proposes a process development approach to balancing SCRES and costs through multi-purpose ‘complementary’ capabilities; which can help address vulnerabilities in a cost-effective way.

description: In the present investigation, effects of Ramalina capitata acetone extract on micronucleus distribution on human lymphocytes, on cholinesterase activity and antioxidant activity (by the CUPRAC method) were examined, for the first time as well as its HPLC profile. Additionally, total phenolic compounds (TPC), antioxidant properties (estimated via DPPH, ABTS and TRP assays) and antibacterial activity were determined. The predominant phenolic compounds in this extract were evernic, everninic and obtusatic acids. Acetone extract of R. capitata at concentration of 2 μg mL-1 decreased a frequency of micronuclei (MN) for 14.8 %. The extract reduces the concentration of DPPH and ABTS radicals for 21.2 and 36.1 % (respectively). Values for total reducing power (TRP) and cupric reducing capacity (CUPRAC) were 0.4624 ± 0.1064 μg ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE) per mg of dry extract, and 6.1176 ± 0.2964 μg Trolox equivalents (TE) per mg of dry extract, respectively. The total phenol content was 670.6376 ± 66.554 μg galic acid equivalents (GAE) per mg of dry extract. Tested extract at concentration of 2 mg mL-1 exhibited inhibition effect (5.2 %) on pooled human serum cholinesterase. The antimicrobial assay showed that acetone extract had inhibition effect towards Gram-positive strains. The results of manifested antioxidant activity, reducing the number of micronuclei in human lymphocytes, and antibacterial activity recommends R. capitata extract for further in vivo studies.

description: Loincloths and health prevention


The authors report on activities carried out in the 1990s in Côte d’Ivoire using original AIDS prevention methods. These initiatives were based on the use of loincloths. The loincloth is a printed fabric that is highly valued in Africa. It has the essential characteristic of being appropriated by women buyers to express issues of relations between women and men. This appropriation can be seen in the fact that loincloths leave the factory with a trade name, but in most cases are given a different name by the users to reflect their own concerns.


Field survey was conducted to identify the characteristics of the most popular loincloths sold in Abidjan markets. In addition, inter-views and activities were conducted with high school students in Abidjan and Dabou (a town 50 km from Abidjan), resulting in the production of an “entre nous” [between us] loincloth which uses AIDS prevention logos, and has been used in several awareness-raising events. Another project by a women’s anti-AIDS association, based on the modification of a fashionable loincloth, was unsuccessful.


The loincloth is still very much a part of African society, with commercial and artistic developments; it’s logical to think that its use in prevention has a future.


Pagnes et prévention en santé


Les auteurs rapportent des actions menées dans les années 90 en Côte d’Ivoire utilisant des méthodes originales de prévention du sida. Ces actions sont basées sur l’utilisation des pagnes. Le pagne est un tissu imprimé très prisé en Afrique. Il présente la caractéristique essentielle d’être approprié par les acheteuses pour manifester principalement les questions de relations entre femmes et hommes. Cette appropriation se manifeste par le fait que les pagnes sortent de la fabrique avec un nom commercial et que le plus souvent les utilisatrices les dénomment autrement en rapport avec leurs préoccupations.


Des études sur le terrain ont été réalisées pour recenser les caractéristiques des pagnes les plus vendus sur les marchés d’Abidjan. Par ailleurs, des entretiens et activités ont été réalisés avec des lycéens d’Abidjan et de Dabou (ville à 50 km d’Abidjan) qui ont permis la fabrication d’un pagne dénommé « entre nous » qui reprend les logos de prévention du sida et qui a fait l’objet de plusieurs manifestations de sensibilisation. Un autre projet porté par une association féminine de lutte contre le sida et basé sur la modification d’un pagne à la mode, n’a pas pu aboutir.


Le pagne reste un objet très présent dans les sociétés africaines, avec des développements commerciaux et artistiques ; il est logique de penser que son utilisation en prévention a de l’avenir.

description: We make decisions every day, some with the potential for a huge impact on our lives. This process of decision-making is crucial not only for individuals but for industries, including construction. Unlike the manufacturing industry, where one can make certain decisions regarding an actual product by looking at it in real time, the nature of construction is different. Here, decisions are to be made on a product which will be built somewhere in the near future. The complex and interim nature of construction projects, along with factors like time essence, increasing scale of projects and multitude of stakeholders, makes it even more difficult to reach consensus. Incorporating VR can aid in getting an insight on the final product at the very beginning of the project life cycle. With a visual representation, the stakeholders involved can collaborate on a single platform to assess the project, share common knowledge and make choices that would produce better results in all major aspects like cost, quality, time and safety. This study aims at assessing decision-making in the earlier stages of construction and then evaluating the performance of immersive and non-immersive VR platforms.

description: Transparent polycrystalline aluminum oxide is a promising optical material, particularly in applications that require ballistic protection. However, the rhombohedral crystal structure of alumina limits its transparency due to birefringent scattering. One method of reducing birefringent scattering is to align the particles along the same crystallographic direction, minimizing the refractive index mismatch. This dissertation explores the use of high aspect-ratio platelet-morphology alumina powder in order to process a crystallographically aligned polycrystalline alumina part, with improved optical properties. The optimal hot-pressing parameters of non-pre-aligned platelet alumina were explored, showing that a low pre-load pressure (0MPa), a high maximum temperature (1800°C), a low maximum pressure (10MPa), and a long isothermal hold time (>5hrs) yields dense, transparent parts. These parameters resulted in samples with a high in-line transmission (>65%) despite a large grain size (>60μm). This is due to a high degree of crystallographic orientation, which minimizes the refractive index mismatch between grains, reducing birefringent scattering. Pre-alignment resulted in a further increase in crystallographic orientation, indicating that the pre-alignment procedure effectively aligns the platelets along the same crystallographic orientation. However, pre-alignment resulted in a minimal improvement in optical properties due to the pre-aligned platelets decreasing the densification. Mechanical properties were characterized, resulting in a flexure stress and Vickers hardness of approximately 175MPa and 17GPa, respectively. These low mechanical properties are due to the large grain size. The Vickers hardness was also characterized along different alignment/hot-pressing directions, showing that the hardness matches that of sapphire along corresponding crystallographic directions. Modifications to the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye model were made, accounting for crystallographic orientation. The modified model more closely matches the experimental optical data, illustrating the importance of accounting for crystallographic alignment. This dissertation emphasizes the importance of characterizing optical losses in transparent ceramics and how they relate to the microstructure, as well as the significance of crystallographic alignment in a birefringent transparent ceramic like alumina.

Complexity measurement of macroscopic opinion dynamics to infer mechanisms within social influence networks
Creators: name: Garee, Michael J
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Operations research
Modelling and simulation

description: Social influence networks are collections of entities dealing with a shared issue on which they have individual opinions. These opinions are dynamic, changing over time due to influence from other entities. Mechanisms within the network can affect how influence leads to opinion change, such as the strength and number of social ties between agents and the decision models used by an individual to process information from its neighbors. In real-world scenarios, these mechanisms are often hidden. Much effort in social network analysis involves proposing models and attempting to replicate target output data with them. Can we instead use the evolution of opinions in a network to infer these mechanisms directly?
This work explores how opinion change in social influence networks can be used to determine characteristics of those networks. Broadly, this is accomplished by simulating social influence networks using various designs and initial conditions to generate opinion data, and then identifying relationships between response variables and changes to the simulation inputs. Key inputs include the population size, the influence model that controls how agents change their opinions, the network structure, the activation regime that controls the sequencing of opinion updates, and probability distributions for communication errors. Analyzing the opinions of individual agents can provide insights about the individuals (microscopic), but in this work, focus is on insights into the social influence network as a complete system (macroscopic), so opinion data is aggregated according to each response variable.
Response variables are designed through the lens of complexity theory. Three types of complexity measurements are applied to opinion data: regression, entropy, and a new complexity measure. In each case, relationships between design factors and response variables are diverse. The influence model and the distribution of communication errors---a factor often omitted from the literature---are consistently impactful, with their various settings producing distinct profiles in time series plots of the measurements. Activation regime is impactful to some entropy measures. Network structure has little impact on the new complexity measure, and population size has little impact in general. Overall, distinctive relationships can exist between opinions and design factors. These relationships, as well as the measures and problem-solving approaches used in this work, may be helpful to analysts working to infer the properties of real-world social influence networks from the opinion data those systems generate.

Exploring Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing from Modeling to the Development of a Smart Metal-Matrix Composite
Creators: name: Lyle, Dennis Matthew
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Mechanical engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The advent of additive manufacturing has opened up new frontiers in developing metal structures that can have complex geometries, composite structures made of dissimilar metals, and metal structures with embedded sensing and actuation capabilities. These types of structures are possible with ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM); a novel manufacturing technology that combines additive manufacturing through the ultrasonic welding of thin metal foils with computer numerical control (CNC) milling. However, the process suffers from a critical limitation, i.e., a range of build heights within which bonding between a foil and the substrate cannot be originated.
This work has two research objectives, the first is a fundamental understanding of the complex dynamic interaction between the substrate and ultrasonic horn, or sonotrode. Specifically, it focuses on the effects that specific modes of vibration have on the dynamic response of the substrate. The second objective is to utilize the UAM process to create metal structures with an embedded sensor that can detect contact or impact. In addressing the first objective, a semi-analytical model was developed to determine the response to three forcing descriptions that approximate the interfacial friction between the foil and substrate induced by sonotrode compression and excitation. Several observations can be seen in the results: as the height increases the dominant modes of vibration change, the modes of vibration excited also change during a single weld cycle as the sonotrode travels across the length of the substrate, and finally the three forcing models do not have a significant impact on the substrate response trends with height and during the weld cycle.
In addressing the second objective, three prototypes were created by embedding a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) sensor within an AL3003 metal-matrix. TENGs utilize contact electrification between surfaces of dissimilar materials, typically polymers, combined with electrostatic induction to generate electrical energy from a mechanical excitation. The sensors demonstrate a discernible response over a 1-5 Hz frequency range. In addition, the sensors have a linear relationship between output voltage and a mechanically applied load, and have the ability to sense contact through both touch and due to an impacting object.

description: Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los consumidores en estas ferias son estudiantes y empleados administrativos, con una notable participación femenina. Se concluye que estas ferias no solo facilitan la venta de productos agroecológicos, sino que también fomentan la educación sobre prácticas sostenibles y la colaboración entre diferentes actores de la comunidad universitaria. El estudio sugiere que el modelo de ferias agroecológicas de la Universidad Central del Ecuador puede ser replicado en otras instituciones, subrayando la importancia de la participación activa de estudiantes y la creación de un ambiente propicio para el aprendizaje y la sostenibilidad.
VECTOR REPRESENTATION TO ENHANCE POSE ESTIMATION FROM RGB IMAGES

description: Head pose estimation is an essential task to be solved in computer vision. Existing research for pose estimation based on RGB images mainly uses either Euler angles or quaternions to predict pose. Nevertheless, both Euler angle- and quaternion-based approaches encounter the problem of discontinuity when describing three-dimensional rotations. This issue makes learning visual pattern more difﬁcult for the convolutional neural network(CNN) which, in turn, compromises the estimation performance. To solve this problem, we introduce TriNet, a novel method based on three vectors converted from three Euler angles(roll, pitch, yaw). The orthogonality of the three vectors enables us to implement a complementary multi-loss function, which effectively reduces the prediction error. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on the AFLW2000, AFW and BIWI datasets. We also extend our work to general object pose estimation and show results in the experiment part.
title: Die Jungen vom Gusch. Zionistische Wertevermittlung in der Jugendliteratur
Creators: name: Stichnothe, Hadassah
Publisher: name: Institut für die Geschichte der deutschen Juden
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Freizeit und Sport
subject: Erziehung und Bildung
subject: Familie und Alltag

description: Die Doppelseite stammt aus dem zionistischen Jugendbuch „Die Jungen
vom Gusch“, das 1936 im Berliner Kedem Verlag erschien und von
Bernhard Gelbart verfasst wurde. Der Roman ist an Jugendliche
adressiert und umfasst 125 Seiten. In dem ausgewählten Textausschnitt
wird ein Treffen der zionistischen Jugendgruppe um den Protagonisten
Kurt geschildert, bei dem Leo Siegler, der Onkel eines
Gruppenmitglieds, aus Palästina zu Besuch kommt und die nächste
Gruppenfahrt besprochen wird. Der Text wird ergänzt durch eine
Illustration, die den Onkel mit den ausgelassen tobenden Jungen zeigt.
Als der Roman erschien, unterlagen Leser und Produzenten
deutsch-jüdischer Kinderliteratur erheblichen Beschränkungen. Mit
der Gründung der Reichsschrifttumskammer 1933 wurde die Voraussetzung
dafür geschaffen, dass jüdische Schriftsteller nur noch in
jüdischen Verlagen und für eine jüdische Leserschaft schreiben
konnten. Texte, die eine deutsch-jüdische Kultur repräsentierten,
wurden von der Zensur unterdrückt. Dagegen wurden zionistische Texte,
die für die zunächst staatlicherseits favorisierte Auswanderung der
jüdischen Bevölkerung warben, sogar gefördert. Diese politische und
thematische Einengung führte zu einer kurzen Hochphase der
deutsch-jüdischen Kinderliteratur und besonders der zionistischen
Literatur. Die zentralen Anliegen dieser Literaturströmung, die seit
Beginn der 1930er-Jahre zur dominanten Strömung innerhalb der
deutsch-jüdischen Kinderliteratur angewachsen war, lassen sich an der
ausgewählten Textpassage gut ablesen.

description: Performance analysis often considers numerous factors contributing to performance, and the relative importance of these factors is evolving based on dynamic conditions and requirements. Investigating large numbers of factors and understanding individual factors' predictability within the ultimate performance are challenging tasks. A visual analytics approach that integrates interactive analysis, novel visual representations, and predictive machine learning models can provide new capabilities to examine performance effectively and thoroughly. Currently, only limited research has been done on the possible applications of visual analytics for performance evaluation. In this dissertation, two specific types of performance analysis are presented: (1) organizational employee performance evaluation and (2) performance improvement of machine learning models with interactive feature selection. Both application scenarios leverage the human-in-the-loop approach to assist the identification of influential factors. For organizational employee performance evaluation, a novel visual analytics system, MetricsVis, is developed to support exploratory organizational performance analysis. MetricsVis incorporates hybrid evaluation metrics that integrate quantitative measurements of observed employee achievements and subjective feedback on the relative importance of these achievements to demonstrate employee performance at and between multiple levels regarding the organizational hierarchy. MetricsVis II extends the original system by including actual supervisor ratings and user-guided rankings to capture preferences from users through derived weights. Comparing user preferences with objective employee workload data enables users to relate user evaluation to historical observations and even discover potential bias. For interactive feature selection and model evaluation, a visual analytics system, FeatureExplorer, allows users to refine and diagnose a model iteratively by selecting features based on their domain knowledge, interchangeable features, feature importance, and the resulting model performance. FeatureExplorer enables users to identify stable, trustable, and credible predictive features that contribute significantly to a prediction model.

title: The emergence and work processes of executive remuneration consultants
Creators: name: de Gannes, Nadine
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: HF5601 Accounting

description: This thesis studies the emergence of executive remuneration consulting as a distinct occupation from the 1990s, and the co-emergence of remuneration consultants and remuneration committees from the early 2000s. These actors, their work processes, norms and interlinkages are studied within the context of key social, economic and political factors, which shape the fields of remuneration consulting work and remuneration governance.
 In light of recent conflicting governance recommendations, it is important to evaluate the system of governance in relation to the historical reference points which have shaped executive pay practices. In so doing, this thesis analyses the dynamic processes in which numerous actors (remuneration committees, executive directors, Reward/HR directors, remuneration consultants and institutional investors), documents (corporate governance codes, governance guidelines and regulations) and tools (market trends analysis and pay benchmarking) are collectively engaged.
 Executive remuneration has overwhelmingly been researched from the agency perspective, delineated into two theoretical points of departure: optimal contracting (Jensen and Meckling, 1976) and managerial capture (Bebchuk and Fried, 2003; 2004). Despite managerial capture theorists seeking to address perceived shortcomings in optimal contracting, both result in an undersocialised (Granovetter, 1985; cf. Main, 2006) view of executive pay practices.
 Drawing on a genealogical approach (Foucault, 1971), Chapter 3 studies the emergence of executive remuneration consulting, while Chapter 4 examines the co-emergence of remuneration consultants and remuneration committees. Drawing on a field-based study at a leading remuneration consultancy, Chapter 5 presents the day-to-day work processes of executive remuneration consultants, and the ways in which consultants have produced their relevance in executive pay design and governance. Chapter 6 problematizes the market for executive talent and presents a conceptualisation of pay benchmarking practice. Chapter 7 argues that a dominant logic of risk has gone undocumented; that it is risk and risk management that ‘percolates and pervades’ (Power, 2004) executive remuneration governance.

description: This short paper proposes to learn models of satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) formulas during solving. Specifically, we focus on infinite models for problems in the logic of linear arithmetic with uninterpreted functions (UFLIA). The constructed models are piecewise linear. Such models are useful for satisfiable problems but also provide an alternative driver for model-based quantifier instantiation (MBQI).
