description: BACKGROUND: Patients with autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are often exposed to chronic glucocorticoid (GC) treatment with many side effects. Glucocorticoid-induced myopathy (GIM) is a well-established side effect, which particularly affects the proximal muscles. The Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index (GTI) is a validated global assessment tool which quantifies GC toxicity over time.
OBJECTIVES: This study marks the first study which analyses GIM in patients with AIBDs. The objectives of this study were to utilize the GTI to investigate the nature and prevalence of GIM in AIBD patients and explore potential risk factors.
METHODS: This international cohort study was conducted in blistering disease clinics across Australia, China, Greece, Iran, Japan, the Philippines, Turkey and the United States of America between February 2019 and July 2023. The GTI tool was completed by a medical practitioner at each patient visit. Data related to glucocorticoid toxicity were entered into the Steritas GTI 2.0 to generate an aggregate improvement and cumulative worsening score at each visit.
RESULTS: The study included 139 patients. There were 132 episodes of myopathy, and 47.5% of patients developed muscle weakness at some point during the study period. Cumulative GC dose correlated positively with myopathy risk, while average dose and treatment duration were not significant. Older age, male gender and obesity more than doubled the likelihood of developing GIM.
CONCLUSIONS: GIM is a common side effect experienced by AIBD patients on GC treatment. Muscle weakness is less likely to occur if cumulative GC dose is less than 0.75 mg/kg/day. Studies of exercise programs to mitigate myopathy and newer alternative treatments to reduce cumulative GC dose should be considered.
The ECB as a Strategic Actor

Subjects: classificationCode: 4408

description: The European Central Bank’s relationship to the national governments of the monetary union was modeled as a contest between fiscal and monetary dominance early in the euro crisis (Buiter 2010, drawing on Sargent and Wallace 1981). This paper shows how strategic behavior helped to shape the timing and substance of ECB policy during 2010-2013 as well as the response of governments. While ex ante bargains between the monetary and fiscal authority can in principle preempt the struggle for dominance, political fragmentation of the euro area prevented such bargains during the crisis. Strategic behavior largely explains the differences in the responses of the ECB, the Federal Reserve and Bank of England to their respective crises and continues to play out as the euro area seeks to complete the architecture of the monetary union. Deflation demonstrates that monetary not fiscal dominance prevails in the euro area, decisively. The ECB Governing Council should now prioritize the objective of raising the rate of inflation in light of this victory.

description: In the present paper, we study the capability of interacting dark energy model with pure momentum transfer in the dark sector to reconcile tensions between low redshift observations and cosmic microwave background (CMB) results. This class of interacting model with pure momentum exchange introduces modifications to the standard model in the level of perturbation. We investigate the model by comparing to observational data, including integrated Sachs-Wolfe-galaxy cross-correlation, galaxy power spectrum, $f σ_8$, and CMB data. It is shown that this model can alleviate the observed tension between local and global measurements of $σ_8$. According to our results, the best fit value of $σ_8$ for interacting model is $0.700$, which is lower than the one for $Λ$CDM model and also is consistent with low redshift observations. Furthermore, we perform a forecast analysis to find the constraints on parameters of the interacting model from future experiments.

description: In the heavy-fermion system $Yb_2Pd_2In_{1-x}Sn_x$, the interplay of crystal-field splitting, Kondo effect, and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interactions leads to complex chemical-, pressure-, and magnetic-field phase diagrams, still to be explored in full detail. By using a series of techniques, we show that even modest changes of parameters other than temperature are sufficient to induce multiple quantum-critical transitions in this highly susceptible heavy-fermion family. In particular, we show that, above $\sim 10$ kbar, hydrostatic pressure not only induces an antiferromagnetic phase at low temperature, but it likely leads to a reorientation of the Yb magnetic moments and/or the competition among different antiferromagnetic configurations.

description: Let $Δ(x)$ denote the error term in the Dirichlet divisor problem, and $E(T)$ the error term in the asymptotic formula for the mean square of $|ζ(1/2 + it)|$. If $E^*(t) = E(t) - 2πΔ^*(t/(2π))$ with $Δ^*(x) = - Δ(x) +2Δ(2x)- {1\over2}Δ(4x)$, then we obtain $$ \int_0^T(E^*(t))^4 dt \ll_εT^{16/19+varepsilon}$$, which is the first non-trivial bound for higher moments of $E^*(t)$. The method of proof also provides an upper bound for sums of fourth powers of mean square integrals of $|ζ(1/2 + it)|$ over well-spaced points. This, in turn, yields a new proof of the twelfth moment estimate for $|ζ(1/2 + it)|$. Among the chief ingredients in the proof is a recent result of Robert--Sargos on the distribution of four square roots of integers, plus an approach of M. Jutila that involves the use of Airy integrals to deal with the ensuing exponential sums.

description: The comparison of visual magnitudes of stars compiled in old catalogues is expected to yield information about their long-term magnitude variations. In seven old catalogues whose historical data have been intensively compared, 2123 sampled stars have been studied, disregarding stars that we could not identify, double stars which could be misidentified, or stars observed under poor conditions, and known variable stars with large amplitude discrepancies. The independence of stellar magnitude catalogues is demonstrated by comparing seven old studies to each other, suggesting that the magnitude estimates in each catalogue reflect the brightness at each observational period. Furthermore, by comparing them with a modern star catalogue, the magnitude differences show a Gaussian distribution. Therefore, if they are sufficiently larger than the deduced standard deviations, the magnitude variations between the catalogues can be considered real. Thus, the stellar magnitudes compiled in old studies can be used as scientific data within the average intrinsic uncertainty. These seven old catalogues can be used as data for the survey of the long-term variability of stars.

description: The contribution of different components of an air shower to the total energy deposit in the atmosphere, for different angles and primary particles, was studied using the CORSIKA air shower simulation code. The amount of missing energy, parameterized in terms of the calorimetric energy, was calculated. The results show that this parameterization varies less than 1% with angle or observation level. The dependence with the primary mass is less than 5% and, with the high energy hadronic interaction model, less than 2%. The systematic error introduced by the use of just one parameterization of the missing energy correction function, for an equal mixture of proton and iron at 45deg, was calculated to be below 3%. We estimate the statistical error due to shower-to-shower fluctuations to be about 1%.

description: We report specific heat measurements of the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn5 in the vicinity of the superconducting critical field H_{c2}, with magnetic field in the [110], [100], and [001] directions, and at temperatures down to 50 mK. The superconducting phase transition changes from second to first order for field above 10 T for H || [110] and H || [100]. In the same range of magnetic field we observe a second specific heat anomaly within the superconducting state. We interpret this anomaly as a signature of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) inhomogeneous superconducting state. We obtain similar results for H || [001], with FFLO state occupying a smaller part of the phase diagram.

description: The search for exoplanetary radio emission has resulted in zero conclusive detections to date. Various explanations for this have been proposed, from the observed frequency range, telescope sensitivity, to beaming of the emission. In a recent paper, we illustrated that exoplanets can orbit through the radio photosphere of the wind of the host star, a region that is optically thick at a specific frequency, for a large fraction of their orbits. As a result, radio emission originating from the planet could be absorbed or `eclipsed' by the wind of the host star. Here we investigate how the properties of the stellar wind and orbital parameters affect the fraction of the orbit where the planet is eclipsed by the stellar wind. We show that planets orbiting stars with low density winds are more favourable for detection in the radio. In terms of the orbital parameters, emission from transiting planets can escape the stellar wind easiest. We apply our model to the $τ$~Boo planetary system, and show that observing the fraction of the planet's orbit where it is eclipsed by the wind of the host star could be used to constrain the properties of the stellar wind. However, our model developed would need to be used in conjunction with a separate method to disentangle the mass-loss rate and temperature of the stellar wind.

Bipartisanship in a Polarized Age
Creators: name: Tama, Jordan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Rising partisanship and ideological polarization are defining features of contemporary American politics, but relatively little attention has been given to how this growing polarization and partisanship are affecting U.S. foreign policy making. I argue that foreign policy bipartisanship still occurs with some frequency because many foreign policy issues do not break down along partisan ideological lines, and lawmakers of both parties tend to see the world differently than the president. I apply my argument to the issue of foreign policy sanctions – an issue on which Congressional Republicans and Democrats often favor highly punitive measures that are resisted by the president. My analysis of three recent major U.S. sanctions debates shows that bipartisan majorities in Congress have driven the enactment of strict human rights and nonproliferation sanctions concerning Russia and Iran, and have nearly succeeded in sanctioning China for its currency policies – even though the president has resisted these laws and bills in whole or in significant part. The analysis demonstrates that foreign policy bipartisanship remains alive; that Congress remains capable of challenging the president successfully on important foreign policy issues; and that congressional activism on sanctions issues is motivated not only by interest group pressure, but also by ideational differences in the foreign policy approaches of lawmakers and the president.

Universal entanglement concentration

description: We propose a new protocol of \textit{universal} entanglement concentration, which converts many copies of an \textit{unknown} pure state to an \textit{% exact} maximally entangled state. The yield of the protocol, which is outputted as a classical information, is probabilistic, and achives the entropy rate with high probability, just as non-universal entanglement concentration protocols do. Our protocol is optimal among all similar protocols in terms of wide varieties of measures either up to higher orders or non-asymptotically, depending on the choice of the measure. The key of the proof of optimality is the following fact, which is a consequence of the symmetry-based construction of the protocol: For any invariant measures, optimal protocols are found out in modifications of the protocol only in its classical output, or the claim on the product. We also observe that the classical part of the output of the protocol gives a natural estimate of the entropy of entanglement, and prove that that estimate achieves the better asymptotic performance than any other (potentially global) measurements.

The acceptance of the central and forward LHC detectors is taken into account and predictions for the invariant mass, rapidity, transverse momentum and acoplanarity distributions are presented. Our results indicate that the contribution of the Durham and double diffractive processes can be strongly suppressed by the exclusivity cuts, which will allow to perform a precise analysis of the LbL scattering, as well the search of beyond Standard Model physics in this final state.

description: Impurity-induced quasiparticle bound states on a pair-breaking surface of a d-wave superconductor are theoretically described, taking into account hybridization of impurity- and surface-induced Andreev states. Further a theory for effects of surface disorder (of thin impurity surface layer) on the low-bias conductance of tunnel junctions is developed. We find a threshold $n_c$ for surface impurity concentration $n_S$, which separates the two regimes for surface impurity effects on the zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP). Below the threshold, surface impurities do not broaden the ZBCP, but effectively reduce its weight and generate impurity bands. For low $n_S$ impurity bands can be, in principle, resolved experimentally, being centered at energies of bound states induced by an isolated impurity on the surface. For larger $n_S$ impurity bands are distorted, move to lower energies and, beginning with the threshold concentration $n_S=n_c$, become centered at zero energy. With increasing $n_S$ above the threshold, the ZBCP is quickly destroyed in the case of strong scatterers, while it is gradually suppressed and broaden in the presence of weak impurity potentials. More realistic cases, taking into account additional broadening, not related to the surface disorder, are also considered.

description: Approximately 18 percent of the 3.2 million smartphone applications rely on integrated graphics processing units (GPUs) to achieve competitive performance. Graphics performance, typically measured in frames per second, is a strong function of the GPU frequency, which in turn has a significant impact on mobile processor power consumption. Consequently, dynamic power management algorithms have to assess the performance sensitivity to the frequency accurately to choose the operating frequency of the GPU effectively. Since the impact of GPU frequency on performance varies rapidly over time, there is a need for online performance models that can adapt to varying workloads. This paper presents a light-weight adaptive runtime performance model that predicts the frame processing time of graphics workloads at runtime without apriori characterization. We employ this model to estimate the frame time sensitivity to the GPU frequency, i.e., the partial derivative of the frame time with respect to the GPU frequency. The proposed model does not rely on any parameter learned offline. Our experiments on commercial platforms with common GPU benchmarks show that the mean absolute percentage error in frame time and frame time sensitivity prediction are 4.2 and 6.7 percent, respectively.

description: The running of the QCD coupling is incorporated into the infrared evolution equations for the flavour structure function g_1. The explicit expressions for g_1 including the total resummation of the double-logarithmic contributions and accounting for the running coupling are obtained. We predict that asymptotically g_1 ~ x^{- Δ_S}, with the intercept Δ_S = 0.86, which is more than twice larger than the non-singlet intercept. The impact of the initial quark (δq) and gluon (δg) densities on the sign of g_1 at x << 1 is discussed and explicit expressions relating δq and δg are obtained.

Causal Claims and Causal Explanation in International Studies
Creators: name: Jackson, Patrick Thaddeus
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Many discussions of causation, especially those in the social sciences, are hampered by their reliance on an impoverished conception where the necessary and essential mark of a causal connection is systematic cross-case covariation. This leads to an observational understanding of causation as connected to general patterns, as well as a thorough-going conflation of causal claims and causal explanations. If we think of a causal explanation as a response to a specific kind of practical problem-situation in which the task is how to accomplish something and we shift to a manipulationist understanding of causation, many things become clearer. In particular, we see that the various efforts to conduct real-world open-system evaluations of casual claims are often misguided, inasmuch as such evaluations are often mistaken for causal explanations of observed outcomes.

description: Family Brachycephalidae   Brachycephalus bufonoides and B.garbeanus were ressurrected from synonymy with B. ephippium and validated as full species (Pombal, 2010).
 The species listed as “ Eleutherodactylus gr. lacteus (Miranda‑Ribeiro, 1923)” by Rocha et al. (2004) is probably meant to be Ischnocnema lactea. This species is problematic, however, and needs to be reviewed in order to define its actual status and geographic distribution (T. Silva‑Soares, pers. comm.). As I. lactea was described from a site in the state of São Paulo and attribution of this name to other populations at present is considered problematic, we exclude this species from the list pending resolution of its taxonomic status.
 Ischnocnema nigriventris (Lutz, 1925) was originally described based on specimens from “Serra de Cubatão” (state of São Paulo) and“Itatiaia” (state of Rio de Janeiro) (Lutz, 1925). Presumably based on the latter record, the species was included in the list of Rocha et al. (2004). Since then, Berneck et al. (2013) have reviewed the species based on the existing syntypes and on newly collected material, concluding that I. nigriventris occurs only in the state of São Paulo. Berneck et al. (2013) argue that the record from Itatiaia was based on a specimen that is presently lost, and apparently not conspecific with the remaining syntypes (as previously suggested by Heyer, 1985). Thus, we herein remove this species from the list of amphibians occurring in the state of Rio de Janeiro.

description: In the Randall-Sundrum compactification of AdS$_5$ with detuned brane tensions, supersymmetry can be spontaneously broken by a non-trivial Wilson line for the graviphoton. The supersymmetry breaking vanishes in the tuned limit. This effect is equivalent to supersymmetry breaking by Scherk-Schwarz boundary conditions.

title: The professional development of teachers' classroom use of ICT through mentoring
Creators: name: Podhraški, Ivan Edward
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: This study is concerned with the effective mentoring of teachers. It is qualitative by nature and is organised as two case studies; the first being conducted in a primary school and the second in an inner city mixed comprehensive school. The study considers the process of mentoring as a mechanism to build on skills developed by New Opportunities Funding (NOF). It therefore considers the confidence and competence of teachers in using Information Communications Technology (ICT) in their teaching. Two main questions were posed: * Can mentoring improve staff attitudes towards the use of ICT in the classroom? *Can mentoring be used as a tool to enhance CPD in ICT and hence encourage staff to increase and develop their use of ICT in the classroom? Data was collected over a period of three years in the form of field notes, semi-structured interviews, documentation, pupil group interviews, book scrutiny and classroom/lesson observations from teachers (the mentees), their mentors and their pupils.

description: Practice‐based research networks (PBRNs) support the translation and evaluation of evidence‐based practices and interventions on a large scale and have primarily been used in primary care settings. Few pharmacy PBRNs exist. Our objective is to describe the composition and characteristics of the Rural Research Alliance of Community Pharmacies (RURAL‐CP), which is the first PBRN exclusively for rural community pharmacies. For each enrolled pharmacy, a pharmacist liaison completed a survey that assessed the pharmacy's operational characteristics, including business operations, human resource management, division of clinical responsibilities, technology and enhanced services, organizational context, and research priorities. Additionally, up to five other pharmacy staff members completed a brief survey on organizational context. Descriptive statistics were calculated. As of May 2023, there were 126 pharmacies across seven southeastern states that were enrolled in RURAL‐CP. Most pharmacies (91%) were independent pharmacies and operated 6 days per week (82%). On average, pharmacies employed 10 staff members and most trained student pharmacists. Pharmacies offered valuable services in their community, including immunizations, naloxone dispensing, and medication delivery. Blood glucose testing was the most common point‐of‐care (POC) test offered, and most pharmacies were interested in expanding POC offerings, particularly A1c testing and cholesterol screening. RURAL‐CP pharmacies have, on average, relatively strong organizational contexts and readiness for change. Pharmacists' top research priorities were expansion of clinical services, reimbursement, patient adherence, and addressing diabetes and hypertension. Although not generalizable to all rural pharmacies, results indicate that rural pharmacies deliver many important services in their communities and are interested in increasing services provided.

description: Recent results on the analysis of event-by-event net-baryon number fluctuations in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 2.76$ and $5.02$ TeV are presented. The cumulants of the net-proton distributions, proxies for the net-baryon distributions, up to third order are discussed. The experimental results are compared with HIJING and EPOS model calculations and the dependence of fluctuation measurements on the phase-space coverage is addressed in the context of calculations from Lattice QCD (LQCD) and the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model.

description: Family Bufonidae   Baldissera et al. (2004) reviewed the Bufo crucifer (now Rhinella crucifer) group and resurrected Bufo ornatus Spix, 1824 (now Rhinella ornata). According to that work, all records of R. crucifer from the state of Rio de Janeiro should be attributed to R. ornata. However, R. crucifer (sensu Baldissera et al., 2004) was subsequently reported from different localities in Rio de Janeiro (Marques et al., 2006; Silveira et al., 2009; Almeida‑Gomes et al., 2010), confirming the presence of both species in the state. Additionally, Silveira et al. (2009) presented the first records of another member of the R. crucifer complex, R. pombali (Baldissera, Caramaschi & Haddad, 2004), for the state of Rio de Janeiro. However, recent molecular studies have found no support for the validity of R. pombali (Thomé et al., 2010, 2012), and it was concluded that this taxon was based on R. crucifer × R. ornata hybrids (Thomé et al., 2012). As R. pombali is currently an invalid taxon, it is not included herein in the list.
 The species listed in Rocha et al. (2004) as “ Bufo gr. margaritifer Laurenti, 1768” is, most probably, Rhinella hoogmoedi Caramaschi & Pombal,2006,which is currently the only species of the R.margaritifera group known to occur in the state (Frost, 2017).Therefore, we substituted the former name by the latter.

description: We have studied how 2- and 3- dimensional systems made up of particles interacting with finite range, repulsive potentials jam (i.e., develop a yield stress in a disordered state) at zero temperature and applied stress. For each configuration, there is a unique jamming threshold, $ϕ_c$, at which particles can no longer avoid each other and the bulk and shear moduli simultaneously become non-zero. The distribution of $ϕ_c$ values becomes narrower as the system size increases, so that essentially all configurations jam at the same $ϕ$ in the thermodynamic limit. This packing fraction corresponds to the previously measured value for random close-packing. In fact, our results provide a well-defined meaning for "random close-packing" in terms of the fraction of all phase space with inherent structures that jam. The jamming threshold, Point J, occurring at zero temperature and applied stress and at the random close-packing density, has properties reminiscent of an ordinary critical point. As Point J is approached from higher packing fractions, power-law scaling is found for many quantities. Moreover, near Point J, certain quantities no longer self-average, suggesting the existence of a length scale that diverges at J. However, Point J also differs from an ordinary critical point: the scaling exponents do not depend on dimension but do depend on the interparticle potential. Finally, as Point J is approached from high packing fractions, the density of vibrational states develops a large excess of low-frequency modes. All of these results suggest that Point J may control behavior in its vicinity-perhaps even at the glass transition.

description: Gammaherpesviruses are oncogenic viruses that establish lifelong infections and are significant causes of morbidity and mortality. Vaccine strategies to limit gammaherpesvirus infection and disease are in development, but there are no FDA-approved vaccines for Epstein-Barr or Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus. As a new approach to gammaherpesvirus vaccination, we developed and tested a replication-deficient virus (RDV) platform, using murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68), a well-established mouse model for gammaherpesvirus pathogenesis studies and preclinical therapeutic evaluations. We employed codon-shuffling-based complementation to generate revertant-free RDV lacking expression of the essential replication and transactivator protein encoded by ORF50 to arrest viral gene expression early after de novo infection. Inoculation with RDV-50.stop exposes the host to intact virion particles and leads to limited lytic gene expression in infected cells yet does not produce additional infectious particles. Prime-boost vaccination of mice with RDV-50.stop elicited virus-specific neutralizing antibody and effector T cell responses in the lung and spleen. In contrast to vaccination with heat-inactivated WT MHV68, vaccination with RDV-50.stop resulted in a near complete abolishment of virus replication in the lung 7 days post-challenge and reduction of latency establishment in the spleen 16 days post-challenge with WT MHV68. Ifnar1−/− mice, which lack the type I interferon receptor, exhibit severe disease and high mortality upon infection with WT MHV68. RDV-50.stop vaccination of Ifnar1−/− mice prevented wasting and mortality upon challenge with WT MHV68. These results demonstrate that prime-boost vaccination with a gammaherpesvirus that is unable to undergo lytic replication offers protection against acute replication, impairs the establishment of latency, and prevents severe disease upon the WT virus challenge. Our study also reveals that the ability of a gammaherpesvirus to persist in vivo despite potent pre-existing immunity is an obstacle to obtaining sterilizing immunity.
