description: En este trabajo, se analiza el servicio público de transporte, haciendo énfasis en el individual de pasajeros. Dicho análisis desprende la intervención del estado en la economía y su regulación, al ser el transporte un servicio público de carácter esencial. Luego de ello se describen las economías colaborativas, sus características principales y como participan en el mercado del transporte individual de pasajeros, lo que lleva a apreciar el fenómeno desde la perspectiva derecho de la competencia desleal. Posterior a ello, se presenta un análisis económico del derecho, basado en el teorema de COASE, y como la norma del transporte se impacta desde la oferta regulada, generando asimetrías de la información y aumentando el costo del mercado. Haciendo un parámetro del fenómeno se establecen las posibles soluciones la problema de las plataformas de transporte, desde la optimización de la norma y su ajuste a la demanda
description: In this paper, public transport services are analyzed with a focus on individual passengers. This analysis highlights the intervention of the state in the economy and its regulation, as transport is an essential public service. Next, collaborative economies are described, along with their main characteristics and their role in the individual passenger transport market. This leads to an appreciation of the phenomenon from the perspective of unfair competition law. An economic analysis of the right is then presented, based on the COASE theorem, to show how transport norms are impacted by regulated offers, generating information asymmetries and increasing market costs. Finally, possible solutions to the problem of transport platforms are established by optimizing norms and adjusting them to meet demand.

description: In this paper, I examine the representation of trauma in Cartouches gauloises in light of recent scholarship about trauma and memory. Without a preference for FrenchAlgarian or Arab-Algerian, director Mehdi Charef explores trauma of forced displacement and witnessing the massacres mainly through children’s perspectives. Charef also depicts the process of ‘acting out’ and ‘working through’ of individual and collective trauma among the characters, and the nation they represent, by use of camera language. Meanwhile, placing the film in its historical context highlights the collective trauma of two important groups in Algerian society after the war: the Pieds-Noirs (the FrenchAlgerian) and Harkis (the pro-France Algerian warriors). They experience social trauma due to the exile and their lacking sense of belonging absent a national identity as they are not recognized as citizens of either government. A final section discusses the measures which the Algerian and French governments respectively took after the war. Unlike to the commemorative monuments and museums the Algerian built, the French government denied the existence of the war for a long time thereby aggravating the socially embedded trauma.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

BDSM as Performance: The Experience of Empowerment in the ‘Submissive’ Role
Creators: name: Cinquino, Vanessa
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: Performing sexual identities that go beyond westernized heteronormative ideals encourage creative perspectives on how sexuality, pleasure and desire can be achieved. Within the sexual subculture of BDSM, submissive performativity is part of a co-dependent dynamic between the dominant and the submissive. This leads me to question how such submissive performances can elicit feelings of empowerment for the submissive. I argue that submissive performativity feels empowering because it creates contrived power exchanges that are a meaningful part of a submissive’s subjective reality. I use Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective on social interactions to analyze the importance of performing these sexual roles, along with discussing Foucault’s ideas on sadomasochism and manufactured power-dynamics crucial to the dominant/submissive exchange.

description: We study breathers and solitons on different backgrounds in optical fiber system, which is governed by generalized coupled Hirota equations with four wave mixing effect. On plane wave background, a transformation between different types of solitons is discovered. Then, on periodic wave background, we find breather-like nonlinear localized waves of which formation mechanism are related to the energy conversion between two components. The energy conversion results from four wave mixing. Furthermore, we prove that this energy conversion is controlled by amplitude and period of backgrounds. Finally, solitons on periodic wave background are also exhibited. These results would enrich our knowledge of nonlinear localized waves' excitation in coupled system with four wave mixing effect.

description: Este texto brinda un análisis reflexivo sobre la relevancia y el avance en la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz firmado en 2016 entre el gobierno de Colombia y la Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP), así como su vínculo con las movilizaciones sociales de 2019 y 2021. Por tanto, se ofrecen algunas ideas y estrategias que buscan aportar a la superación o al desescalamiento de la crisis social y política que enfrenta Colombia actualmente (2021-2022). Este análisis, también se nutre del testimonio de un excombatiente de las FARC-EP y firmante del acuerdo paz, el señor Germán Gómez, quien lidera desde 2017 y hasta la actualidad un proyecto de turismo ecológico en el departamento de la Guajira, denominado Tierra Grata Ecotours. Este testimonio ilustra un caso de estudio y una experiencia por parte de un actor protagonista de los altibajos tanto del proceso de reincorporación a la vida civil, como parte de la implementación del Acuerdo de Paz. En efecto, su testimonio permite extrapolar una serie de aprendizajes y recomendaciones que podrían inspirar estrategias útiles para otros casos más o menos similares, o en general, para un país que se encuentra movilizado, entre otras causas, a favor de la paz.
description: This text provides a reflexive analysis on the relevance and progress in the implementation of the Peace Agreement signed in 2016 between the government of Colombia and the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejercito del Pueblo (FARC-EP), as well as its link to the social mobilizations of 2019 and 2021. Therefore, some ideas and strategies are offered that seek to contribute to the overcoming or de-escalation of the social and political crisis currently facing Colombia (2021-2022). This analysis is also enriched by the testimony of a former combatant of the FARC-EP and signer of the peace agreement, Mr. Germán Gómez, who has been leading an ecotourism project in the department of La Guajira, called Tierra Grata Ecotours, since 2017. This testimony illustrates a case study and an experience from a protagonist actor in the ups and downs of both the reintegration process into civilian life and the implementation of the Peace Agreement. Indeed, his testimony allows us to extrapolate a series of lessons and recommendations that could inspire useful strategies for other similar cases, or in general, for a country that is mobilized, among other causes, in favor of peace.

description: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful technology for rapid volumetric imaging in biomedicine. The bright field imaging approach of conventional OCT systems is based on the detection of directly backscattered light, thereby waiving the wealth of information contained in the angular scattering distribution. Here we demonstrate that the unique features of few-mode fibers (FMF) enable simultaneous bright and dark field (BRAD) imaging for OCT. As backscattered light is picked up by the different modes of a FMF depending upon the angular scattering pattern, we obtain access to the directional scattering signatures of different tissues by decoupling illumination and detection paths. We exploit the distinct modal propagation properties of the FMF in concert with the long coherence lengths provided by modern wavelength-swept lasers to achieve multiplexing of the different modal responses into a combined OCT tomogram. We demonstrate BRAD sensing for distinguishing differently sized microparticles and showcase the performance of BRAD-OCT imaging with enhanced contrast for ex vivo tumorous tissue in glioblastoma and neuritic plaques in Alzheimer's disease.

description: The newly installed Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope has been used to obtain multi-band images of the nearby spiral galaxy M83. These new observations are the deepest and highest resolution images ever taken of a grand-design spiral, particularly in the near-ultraviolet, and allow us to better differentiate compact star clusters from individual stars and to measure the luminosities of even faint clusters in the U band. We find that the luminosity function (LF) for clusters outside of the very crowded starburst nucleus can be approximated by a power law, dN/dL vprop L α, with α = –2.04 ± 0.08, down to MV ≈ –5.5. We test the sensitivity of the LF to different selection techniques, filters, binning, and aperture correction determinations, and find that none of these contribute significantly to uncertainties in α. We estimate ages and masses for the clusters by comparing their measured UBVI, Hα colors with predictions from single stellar population models. The age distribution of the clusters can be approximated by a power law, dN/dτ vprop τγ, with γ = –0.9 ± 0.2, for M gsim few × 103 M sun and τ lsim 4 × 108 yr. This indicates that clusters are disrupted quickly, with ≈80%-90% disrupted each decade in age over this time. The mass function of clusters over the same M-τ range is a power law, dN/dM vprop M β, with β = –1.94 ± 0.16, and does not have bends or show curvature at either high or low masses. Therefore, we do not find evidence for a physical upper mass limit, MC , or for the earlier disruption of lower mass clusters when compared with higher mass clusters, i.e., mass-dependent disruption. We briefly discuss these implications for the formation and disruption of the clusters.

description: Melting and, conversely, solidification processes in the presence of convection are key to many geophysical problems. An essential question related to these phenomena concerns the estimation of the (time-evolving) melting rate, which is tightly connected to the turbulent convective dynamics in the bulk of the melt fluid and the heat transfer at the liquid-solid interface. In this work, we consider a convective-melting model, constructed as a generalization of the Rayleigh-Bénard system, accounting for the basal melting of a solid. As the change of phase proceeds, a fluid layer grows at the heated bottom of the system and eventually reaches a turbulent convection state. By means of extensive Lattice-Boltzmann numerical simulations employing an enthalpy formulation of the governing equations, we explore the model dynamics in two and three-dimensional configurations. The focus of the analysis is on the scaling of global quantities like the heat flux and the kinetic energy with the Rayleigh number, as well as on the interface morphology and the effects of space dimensionality. Independently of dimensionality, we find that the convective-melting system behavior shares strong resemblances with that of the Rayleigh-Bénard one, and that the heat flux is only weakly enhanced with respect to that case. Such similarities are understood, at least to some extent, considering the resulting slow motion of the melting front (with respect to the turbulent fluid velocity fluctuations) and its generally little roughness (compared to the height of the fluid layer). Varying the Stefan number, accounting for the thermodynamical properties of the material, also seems to have only a mild effect, which implies the possibility to extrapolate results in numerically delicate low-Stefan setups from more convenient high-Stefan ones.

description: A production plan is a description of how core assets are to be used to develop a product in a product line. A product line organization creates such a plan to ensure that the correct core assets are used appropriately to build a specific product in a specific way. The production plans and techniques used to create products vary widely from organization to organization and from one product line to another. Because of this variance, the developers of production plans need some guidance about the plans' form and content. This technical report provides guidance for creating, using, and evaluating a production plan. In addition, this report presents a classification scheme that describes the characteristics of a product line organization that influence the form and content of the production plan.

description: Introduction Pulmonary neutrophilia is a hallmark of numerous airway diseases including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Neutrophilic asthma, Acute Lung Injury (ALI), Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and COVID-19. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of dietary interventions on lung health in context of pulmonary neutrophilia. Methods Male BALB/cByJ mice received 7 intra-nasal doses of either a vehicle or lipopolysaccharides (LPS). To study the effect of nutritional interventions they received 16 intra-gastric doses of either a vehicle (PBS) or the following supplements (1) probiotic Bifidobacterium breve (B. breve) M16-V; (2) a prebiotic fiber mixture of short-chain galacto-oligosaccharides, long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides, and low-viscosity pectin in a 9:1:2 ratio (scGOS/lcFOS/lvPectin); and (3) A synbiotic combination B. breve M16-V and scGOS/lcFOS/lvPectin. Parameters for lung health included lung function, lung morphology and lung inflammation. Parameters for systemic immunomodulation included levels of fecal short chain fatty acids and regulatory T cells. Results The synbiotic supplement protected against the LPS induced decline in lung function (35% improved lung resistance at baseline p = 0.0002 and 25% at peak challenge, p = 0.0002), provided a significant relief from pulmonary neutrophilia (40.7% less neutrophils, p < 0.01) and improved the pulmonary neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) by 55.3% (p = 0.0033). Supplements did not impact lung morphology in this specific experiment. LPS applied to the upper airways induced less fecal SCFAs production compared to mice that received PBS. The production of acetic acid between day −5 and day 16 was increased in all unchallenged mice (PBS-PBS p = 0.0003; PBS-Pro p < 0.0001; PBS-Pre, p = 0.0045; PBS-Syn, p = 0.0005) which upon LPS challenge was only observed in mice that received the synbiotic mixture of B. breve M16-V and GOS:FOS:lvPectin (p = 0.0003). A moderate correlation was found for butyric acid and lung function parameters and a weak correlation was found between acetic acid, butyric acid and propionic acid concentrations and NLR. Conclusion This study suggests bidirectional gut lung cross-talk in a mouse model for pulmonary neutrophilia. Neutrophilic lung inflammation coexisted with attenuated levels of fecal SCFA. The beneficial effects of the synbiotic mixture of B. breve M16-V and GOS:FOS:lvPectin on lung health associated with enhanced levels of SCFAs.

description: We consider the positions and velocities of electrons and spinning nuclei and demonstrate that these particles harbour hidden momentum when located in an electromagnetic field. This hidden momentum is present in all atoms and molecules, however it is ultimately cancelled by the momentum of the electromagnetic field. We point out that an electron vortex in an electric field might harbour a comparatively large hidden momentum and recognise the phenomenon of 'hidden hidden momentum'.

description: The main contribution of this paper is to design an Information Retrieval (IR) technique based on Algorithmic Information Theory (using the Normalized Compression Distance- NCD), statistical techniques (outliers), and novel organization of data base structure. The paper shows how they can be integrated to retrieve information from generic databases using long (text-based) queries. Two important problems are analyzed in the paper. On the one hand, how to detect "false positives" when the distance among the documents is very low and there is actual similarity. On the other hand, we propose a way to structure a document database which similarities distance estimation depends on the length of the selected text. Finally, the experimental evaluations that have been carried out to study previous problems are shown.

description: In the framework of the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD) approach we studied finite size effects of the phase diagram and domain structure evolution in spherical nanoparticles of uniaxial ferroelectric. The particle surface is covered by a layer of screening charge characterized by finite screening length. The phase diagram, calculated in coordinates "particle radius vs. screening length" has a wide region of versatile poly-domain structures separating single-domain ferroelectric and nonpolar paraelectric phases. Unexpectedly, we revealed a region of stable irregular labyrinthine domains in the nanoparticles of uniaxial ferroelectric CuInP2S6 with the first order paraelectric-ferroelectric phase transition. We established that the origin of labyrinthine domains is the mutual balance of LGD, polarization gradient and electrostatic energies. The branching of the domain walls appears and increases rapidly when the polarization gradient energy decreases below the critical value. Allowing for the generality of LGD approach, we expect that the gradient-induced morphological transition can be the source of labyrinthine domains appearance in many spatially-confined ferroics with long-range order parameter, including relaxors, ferromagnetics, antiferrodistortive materials and materials with incommensurate ferroic phases.

description: The building sector generates around 5-8% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)[1] and the disposal of C&D waste at the end-of-life is a high environmental cost. The raw earth is a sustainable construction material with low embedded energy, available locally. It is the most ancient technique of construction, studied in recent years to reduce the environmental life cycle impact of buildings. Clay is responsible for the earth plastic behaviour and represents the binder that keeps together silt and sand grains. Earth sets through drying without chemical reactions, so it could be reinserted into the nature. At the same time, earthen constructions do not withstand weathering and develop lower mechanical performances compared with those which exploit hydraulic binders. We investigated the possibility of improving these characteristics by stabilizing earthen products with the addition of small amounts of lime preserving clay as eco-friendly binder and the full end-of-life recyclability. Four earths with different binder properties – two kaolin clays, one illite clay and a smectite – were characterized and analysed at the lab scale. The change of the Atterberg limits on adding lime was determined. The clay modification and potential pozzolanic reactions with lime were measured by X-ray diffraction. Two earths were selected to be tested as plasters, adding sand and lime in order to reduce shrinkage and increase water resistance. Cracking and adhesion tests were run for all mixtures. The results show decreasing performances for all the plasters mixtures stabilized with lime, especially in the presence of an expandable clay fraction. The water resistance is improved for the stabilized mixtures that require less sand to reduce cracking and swelling. Lime is better used as a surface finish and plaster, not as stabilizer, because reacting with clay it increases the plastic limit and raises the water demand to obtain a plastic and workable mixture.

description: With autism first recognized in the 1940s, the early cohorts of autistic children are beginning to enter older adulthood. Little is known about the experiences and outcomes of autistic older adults. In the general population, “successful aging” is a dominant model among gerontologists and is used to evaluate outcomes in older adulthood. This narrative review aims to provide a framework for understanding and supporting successful aging in older autistic adults. Using Fernández-Ballesteros’ four-domain model of “aging well” we review knowledge on aging and autism by examining outcomes in health and functioning, cognitive and physical functioning, positive affect and control, and social participation and engagement. Findings indicate that outcomes in autistic older adults are generally poor, marked by increased medical conditions, low adaptive skills, elevated risk of cognitive decline, limited physical activity, high rates of mental health conditions, low quality of life, and reduced social or community participation. Patterns of challenges are similar across cognitive abilities and profiles of autistic traits. Challenges and next steps in aging and autism research are identified, and future directions for the field are discussed.

description: In an attempt to address the productivity and quality problems afflicting the software industry, many organizations are turning toward computer-aided software engineering (CASE) technology as a potential solution. Unfortunately, the inflated claims of vendors and unreasonable expectations of new users have led to many failed CASE adoption efforts. This guide answers questions organizations may have concerning CASE technology, and provides a strategy for the adoption of CASE tools into an organization.

description: Diese Arbeit ist als Aktionsforschung konzipiert, die Generationen näherbringt, indem eine 6.Klasse aus der Stadt Zürich an drei Freitagnachmittagen ein Kunstprojekt in einem städtischen Alterszentrum durchführt. Es wird untersucht, inwiefern sich dieses Generationen-Projekt auf das soziale Selbstkonzept adoleszenter Jugendlicher auswirkt. Dafür werden die Ergebnisse mithilfe von drei Datensätzen trianguliert: aus Lehrerperspektive anhand von Forschungstagebucheinträgen, aus Schülerperspektive auf Basis von Interviews und Umfragen sowie mittels normierten Einschätzlisten zum Sozial- und Lernverhalten aus Lehrer- (LSL) und Schülerperspektive (SSL). In Anlehnung an das Projekt Social Friday (www.socialfriday.org), das sich, mit dem Appell die unproduktivste Zeit der Woche vermehrt für soziales Engagement einzusetzen, an Unternehmen richtet, wurde im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit erstmals das ergänzende Social-Friday-Klassenprojekt realisiert. Durch die Entwicklung, die Erprobung und die Evaluation des Projekts ist ein Social-Friday-Starterkit für Schulklassen entstanden, das sich mit dem Appell das Projekt selbst auszuprobieren nun auch an Lehrpersonen richtet. Die Projektauswertung ergab, dass sich die 6.Klasse aufgrund der sozialen Selbstwirksamkeitserfahrungen tendenziell als kooperativer wahrnahm. Dies deckte sich mit der Einschätzung der Lehrpersonen.

description: Cosmogenic neutrinos are produced when ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interact with cosmological photon fields. Limits on the diffuse flux of these neutrinos can be used to constrain the fraction of protons arriving at Earth with energies $E_{p} \gtrsim 30$ EeV, thereby providing constraints on the composition of UHECRs without fully relying on hadronic interaction models. We show to which extent current neutrino telescopes already constrain this fraction of protons and discuss the prospects for next-generation detectors to further constrain it. Additionally, we discuss the implications of these limits for several popular candidates for UHECR source classes.
Magnetic Field Amplification and Rapid Time Variations in SNR RX J1713.7-3946

description: Evidence is accumulating suggesting that collisionless shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs) can amplify the interstellar magnetic field to hundreds of microgauss or even milli-gauss levels, as recently claimed for SNR RX J1713.7-3946. If these fields exist, they are almost certainly created by magnetic field amplification (MFA) associated with the efficient production of cosmic rays by diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) and their existence strengthens the case for SNRs being the primary source of galactic cosmic ray ions to the `knee' and beyond. However, the high magnetic field values in SNRs are obtained exclusively from the interpretation of observations of radiation from relativistic electrons and if MFA via nonlinear DSA produces these fields the magnetic field that determines the maximum ion energy will be substantially less than the field that determines the maximum electron energy. We use results of a steady-state Monte Carlo simulation to show how nonlinear effects from efficient cosmic ray production and MFA reduce the maximum energy of protons relative to what would be expected from test-particle acceleration.

description: Governing for enterprise security means viewing adequate security as a non-negotiable requirement of being in business. If an organization's management does not establish and reinforce the business need for effective enterprise security, the organization's desired state of security will not be articulated, achieved, or sustained. To achieve a sustainable capability, organizations must make enterprise security the responsibility of leaders at a governance level, not of other organizational roles that lack the authority, accountability, and resources to act and enforce compliance. This implementation guide builds upon prior publications by providing prescriptive guidance for creating and sustaining an enterprise security governance program. It is geared for senior leaders, including those who serve on boards of directors or the equivalent. Throughout the implementation guide, we describe the elements of an enterprise security program (ESP) and suggest how leaders can oversee, direct, and control it, and thereby exercise appropriate governance. Elevating security to a governance-level concern fosters attentive, security-conscious leaders who are better positioned to protect an organization's digital assets, operations, market position, and reputation. This document presents a roadmap and practical guidance that will help business leaders implement an effective security governance program.

description: Background/Objectives: Concurrent opioid (OPI) and benzodiazepine (BZD) use may exacerbate injurious fall risk (e.g., falls and fractures) compared to no use or use alone. Yet, patients may need concurrent OPI-BZD use for co-occurring conditions (e.g., pain and anxiety). Therefore, we examined the association between longitudinal OPI-BZD dosing patterns and subsequent injurious fall risk. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study including non-cancer fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries initiating OPI and/or BZD in 2016–2018. We identified OPI-BZD use patterns during the 3 months following OPI and/or BZD initiation (i.e., trajectory period) using group-based multi-trajectory models. We estimated the time to first injurious falls within the 3-month post-trajectory period using inverse-probability-of-treatment-weighted Cox proportional hazards models. Results: Among 622,588 beneficiaries (age ≥ 65 = 84.6%, female = 58.1%, White = 82.7%; having injurious falls = 0.45%), we identified 13 distinct OPI-BZD trajectories: Group (A): Very-low OPI-only (early discontinuation) (44.9% of the cohort); (B): Low OPI-only (rapid decline) (15.1%); (C): Very-low OPI-only (late discontinuation) (7.7%); (D): Low OPI-only (gradual decline) (4.0%); (E): Moderate OPI-only (rapid decline) (2.3%); (F): Very-low BZD-only (late discontinuation) (11.5%); (G): Low BZD-only (rapid decline) (4.5%); (H): Low BZD-only (stable) (3.1%); (I): Moderate BZD-only (gradual decline) (2.1%); (J): Very-low OPI (rapid decline)/Very-low BZD (late discontinuation) (2.9%); (K): Very-low OPI (rapid decline)/Very-low BZD (increasing) (0.9%); (L): Very-low OPI (stable)/Low BZD (stable) (0.6%); and (M): Low OPI (gradual decline)/Low BZD (gradual decline) (0.6%). Compared with Group (A), six trajectories had an increased 3-month injurious falls risk: (C): HR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.58–2.01; (D): HR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.93–2.59; (E): HR = 2.60, 95% CI = 2.18–3.09; (H): HR = 2.02, 95% CI = 1.70–2.40; (L): HR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.98–3.76; and (M): HR = 1.96, 95% CI = 1.32–2.91. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that 3-month injurious fall risk varied across OPI-BZD trajectories, highlighting the importance of considering both dose and duration when assessing injurious fall risk of OPI-BZD use among older adults.
