description: ABSTRACT Background: Preventing and/or delaying cognitive impairment is a public health priority. To increase awareness of and participation in behaviors that may help maintain cognitive function or reduce risk of impairment, we need to understand public perceptions about risk and protective factors. Methods: We conducted a scoping review of studies examining the public's perceptions about risk and protective factors related to cognitive health and impairment published since the 2007 National Public Health Road Map to Maintaining Cognitive Health . Results: A search of five databases yielded 1,115 documents published between June 2007 and December 2013. Initial review of abstracts identified 90 potentially eligible studies. After full-article review, 30 met inclusion criteria; four additional articles identified in reference lists also met inclusion criteria. Of the 34, 16 studies addressed Alzheimer's disease (AD) specifically, 15 dementia broadly, 5 mild to moderate cognitive impairment, and 8 normal functioning, with some content overlap. Across studies, respondents reported genetics ( n = 14 studies), older age ( n = 8), stress ( n = 7), brain/head injury ( n = 6), and mental illness/brain disease ( n = 6) as perceived risk factors for AD and dementia. Protective factors most commonly identified for maintaining cognitive health were intellectual/mental stimulation ( n = 13), physical activity ( n = 12), healthy diet ( n = 10), and social/leisure activities ( n = 10). Conclusions: Studies identified genetics and older age as key perceived risk factors more so than behaviors such as smoking. Individuals perceived that numerous lifestyle factors (e.g. intellectual stimulation, physical activity) could protect against cognitive impairment, AD, and/or dementia. Results can inform national and international education efforts about AD and other dementias.

description: Während Pakistan am 14. August den sechzigsten Jahrestag seiner Existenz begeht, feiert Indien einen Tag später das runde Jubiläum seiner Unabhängigkeit. In Abgrenzung zum Rivalen Indien blickt Pakistan nicht auf seine mehrere Jahrtausende alte Geschichte, sondern auf die emanzipatorischen Versuche der Muslime unter britischer Herrschaft zurück. Der Fokus liegt dabei häufig auf dem Vater der Nation (Baba-e-Qaum), Mohammad Ali Jinnah (25.12.1876–11.09.1948 ). Jinnah erscheint in Pakistan omnipräsent zu sein und ist doch so weit weg. Sein Konterfei gegrüßt die Passanten auf dem Weg vom Flughafen in Rawalpindi in die etwas mehr als zehn Kilometer entfernte Hauptstadt Islamabad.

description: This paper completes a classification of the types of orientable and non-orientable cusps that can arise in the quotients of hyperbolic knot complements. In particular, $S^2(2,4,4)$ cannot be the cusp cross-section of any orbifold quotient of a hyperbolic knot complement. Furthermore, if a knot complement covers an orbifold with a $S^2(2,3,6)$ cusp, it also covers an orbifold with a $S^2(3,3,3)$ cusp. We end with a discussion that shows all cusp types arise in the quotients of link complements.

description: Glial cells are critical players in every major aspect of nervous system development, function, and disease. Other than their traditional supportive role, glial cells perform a variety of important functions such as myelination, synapse formation and plasticity, and establishment of blood–brain and blood–nerve barriers in the nervous system. Recent studies highlight the striking functional similarities between Drosophila and vertebrate glia. In both systems, glial cells play an essential role in neural ensheathment thereby isolating the nervous system and help to create a local ionic microenvironment for conduction of nerve impulses. Here, we review the anatomical aspects and the molecular players that underlie ensheathment during different stages of nervous system development in Drosophila and how these processes lead to the organization of neuroglial junctions. We also discuss some key aspects of the invertebrate axonal ensheathment and junctional organization with that of vertebrate myelination and axon–glial interactions. Finally, we highlight the importance of intercellular junctions in barrier formation in various cellular contexts in Drosophila. We speculate that unraveling the genetic and molecular mechanisms of ensheathment across species might provide key insights into human myelin-related disorders and help in designing therapeutic interventions.

description: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) persists as a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease and is characterized by the production of autoantibodies and immune complexes that affects multiple organs. The underlying mechanism that triggers and sustain disease are complex and involves certain susceptibility genes and environmental factors. There have been several immune mediators linked to SLE including cytokines and chemokines that have been reviewed elsewhere(1–3). A number of articles have reviewed the role of B cells and T cells in SLE(4–10). Here, we focus on role of dendritic cells (DC) and innate immune factors that may regulate autoreactive B cells.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
Renal Artery

description: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a very effective treatment for kidney stones, although not free of complications. PAARs are rare vascular complications, little described in the literature, present in less than 1% of patients with hematoma after ESWL. Rupture of the PAAR has a high mortality rate and its management must be carefully elaborated. The diagnosis of this vascular lesion is a challenge, since the clinical and laboratory manifestations are not specific and may require additional tests. In this study, we reviewed the current literature relating PAAR after ESWL.

description: Fully data-driven, deep learning-based models are usually designed as language-independent and have been shown to be successful for many natural language processing tasks. However, when the studied language is low-resourced and the amount of training data is insufficient, these models can benefit from the integration of natural language grammar-based information. We propose two approaches to dependency parsing especially for languages with restricted amount of training data. Our first approach combines a state-of-the-art deep learning-based parser with a rule-based approach and the second one incorporates morphological information into the parser. In the rule-based approach, the parsing decisions made by the rules are encoded and concatenated with the vector representations of the input words as additional information to the deep network. The morphology-based approach proposes different methods to include the morphological structure of words into the parser network. Experiments are conducted on the IMST-UD Treebank and the results suggest that integration of explicit knowledge about the target language to a neural parser through a rule-based parsing system and morphological analysis leads to more accurate annotations and hence, increases the parsing performance in terms of attachment scores. The proposed methods are developed for Turkish, but can be adapted to other languages as well.

description: Neural networks are at the forefront of machine learning being responsible for achievements such as AlphaGo. As they are being deployed in more and more environments - even in safety-critical ones such as health care - we are naturally interested in assuring their reliability. However, the discovery of so-called adver- sarial attacks for supervised neural networks demonstrated that tiny distortions in the input space can lead to misclassifications and thus, to potentially catas- trophic errors: Patients could be diagnosed wrongly, or a car might confuse stop signs and traffic lights. Thus, ideally, we would like to guarantee that these types of attacks cannot occur. In this thesis we extend the research on reliable neural networks to the realm of unsupervised learning. This includes defining proper notions of reliability, as well as analyzing and adapting unsupervised neural networks with respect to this notion. Our definitions of reliability depend on the underlying neural networks and the problems they are meant to solve. However, in all our cases, we aim for guarantees on a continuous input space containing infinitely many points. Therefore we extend the traditional setting of testing against a finite dataset such that we require specialized tools to actually check a given network for reliability. We will demonstrate how we can leverage neural network verification for these purposes. Using neural network verification, however, entails a major challenge: It does not scale up to large networks. To overcome this limitation, we design a novel training procedure yielding networks that are both more reliable according to our definition as well as more amenable for neural network verification. By exploiting the piecewise affine structure of our networks, we can locally simplify them and thus decrease verification runtime significantly. We also take a per- spective that complements a neural network’s training by exploring how we can repair non-reliable neural network ensembles. With this thesis, we paradigmatically show the necessity and the complications of unsupervised neural network verification. It aims to pave the way for more research to come and towards a safe usage of these simple-to-build yet difficult-to-understand models given by unsupervised neural networks.

description: This paper addresses the problem of distributed secondary voltage control of an islanded microgrid (MG) from a cyber-physical perspective. An event-triggered distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme is designed to regulate the voltage magnitude of each distributed generators (DGs) in order to achieve a better trade-off between the control performance and communication and computation burdens. By using two novel event triggering conditions that can be easily embedded into the DMPC for the application of MG control, the computation and communication burdens are significantly reduced with negligible compromise of control performance. In addition, to reduce the sensor cost and to eliminate the negative effects of non-linearity, an adaptive non-asymptotic observer is utilized to estimate the internal and output signals of each DG. Thanks to the deadbeat observation property, the observer can be applied periodically to cooperate with the DMPC-based voltage regulator. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control method has been tested on a simple configuration with 4 DGs and the modified IEEE-13 test system through several representative scenarios.

description: The objective was to study the effect of colpocleisis on pelvic support, symptoms, and quality of life and report-associated morbidity and postoperative satisfaction. Women undergoing colpocleisis for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) were recruited at six centers. Baseline measures included physical examination, responses to the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory, and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire. Three and 12 months after surgery we repeated baseline measures. Of 152 patients with mean age 79 (±6) years, 132 (87%) completed 1 year follow-up. Three and 12 months after surgery, 90/110 (82%) and 75/103 (73%) patients following up had POP stage ≤1. All pelvic symptom scores and related bother significantly improved at 3 and 12 months, and 125 (95%) patients said they were either ‘very satisfied’ or ‘satisfied’ with the outcome of their surgery. Colpocleisis was effective in resolving prolapse and pelvic symptoms and was associated with high patient satisfaction.

H de Toulgoë, B. et J. Lalanne Cassou, J. Navatte col, 1 male (MNHN). Male 13.0 long. Antennal segment I somewhat longer than II, segment III almost 3 times longer than II and subequal to IV, segment V subequal to III. Rostrum reaching fourth visible abdominal sternite, segment II, the longest reaching metacoxae, segment IV shorter than III and subequal to I. Tergite VII with a wide membranous band on distal margin, without a median process. Abdominal ventral side dark­castaneous with yellow spots close to lateral margin. Body length: 13.0; abdominal width: 10.0; head length: 3.0; head width: 3.5; pronotal width: 9.0. Pygophore subtriangular, widely open dorsoposteriorly. Dorsal rim (dr) projected posteriorly at middle third, slightly concave over proctiger. Lateral process of dorsal rim (lpdr) small. Posterolateral angle processes (plap) subtriangular, flat, divergent. Ventral rim developed as a process (vrlp) on each lateral angle, almost as long as posterolateral angle processes, not fused with them. A mesial concavity and some transversal furrows distally on ventral surface of pygophore. Paramere (pa) hammer­like, posteroventrally directed. Proctiger (pr) subtriangular, covered by setae on ventral edge and posterior face. Posterior face strongly declivent with low lateral carina. Comments: The structure of the male genitalia suggests Parantiteuchus is close to Antiteuchus. Posterolateral angles processes not fused, proctiger dorsally membranous, and the presence of lateral processes of the dorsal rim are characters shared by both genera. Parantiteuchus can be distinguished from Antiteuchus by the hammer­like parameres, ventral rim with lateral processes, and middle third of dorsal rim projecting posteriorly. In Antiteuchus the parameres are usually lobate, the ventral rim lacks lateral processes, and the middle third of dorsal rim is strongly concave. Ruckes (1962) allied both genera because their similar facies.

description: In this work, we consider pressurized phase-field fracture problems in nearly and fully incompressible materials. To this end, a mixed form for the solid equations is proposed. To enhance the accuracy of the spatial discretization, a residual-type error estimator is developed. Our algorithmic advancements are substantiated with several numerical tests that are inspired from benchmark configurations. Therein, a primal-based formulation is compared to our newly developed mixed phase-field fracture method for Poisson ratios approaching $ν\to 0.5$. Finally, for $ν= 0.5$, we compare the numerical results of the mixed formulation with a pressure robust modification.

THE KHEUOL LANGUAGE SPOKEN IN SAMAÚMA VILLAGE

description: The Galibi-Marworno people speak the Kheuól indigenous language, a French-based creole language (Santos & Silva, G. 2020; Silva, G. 2021) and Portuguese as a second language. They inhabit the Uaçá and Juminã Indigenous Lands, located in the Municipality of Oiapoque, in the extreme north of the State of Amapá, Brazil. This work brings the results of the research carried out in my final course work (TCC), developed in 2019, in which I carried out a Sociolinguistic Diagnosis in the Samaúma village. In this village, we find speakers of Kheuól Galibi-Marworno, Kheuól Karipuna and Portuguese, each language being used in different spaces and at different levels of use. The research was carried out through printed questionnaires, applied to 49 residents of the village. I used the script proposed in the guide of the National Inventory of Linguistic Diversity - INDL (2016) with some adaptations for our reality. I tried to identify the situation of the Kheuol Galibi-Marworno language, its vitality, the degree of Kheuol/Portuguese bilingualism (Silva, 2016) of the villagers, the spaces in which these languages are used, interethnic marriages; and mastery of writing in the indigenous language and in Portuguese. We observed that the Portuguese entered the village through different routes: through marriages with non-indigenous people or with people of other ethnic groups; through contact with health officials, education - in meetings to discuss community interests; through the services of the evangelical church.

description: This paper proposes a distributed secondary voltage control method based on extended state Kalman-Bucy filter (ESKBF) and fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) control for the resilient operation of an islanded microgrid (MG) with inverter-based distributed generations (DGs). To tackle the co-existence of multiple uncertainties, a unified modelling framework is proposed to represent the set of different types of disturbances, including parameter perturbation, measurement noise, and immeasurably external variables, by an extended state method. Kalman-Bucy filter is then applied to accurately estimate the state information of the extended DG model. In addition, based on the accurate estimation, a fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) surface with terminal attractors is designed to maintain the system stability and accelerate the convergence of consensus tracking, which significantly improves the performance of secondary voltage control under both normal and plug-and-play operation. Finally, case studies are conducted in both MATLAB/Simulink and an experimental testbed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

description: We provide a general, homotopy-theoretic definition of string group models within an $\infty$-category of smooth spaces, and we present new smooth models for the string group. Here, a smooth space is a presheaf of $\infty$-groupoids on the category of cartesian spaces. The key to our definition and construction of smooth string group models is a version of the singular complex functor, which assigns to a smooth space an underlying ordinary space. We provide new characterisations of principal $\infty$-bundles and group extensions in $\infty$-topoi, building on work of Nikolaus, Schreiber, and Stevenson. These insights allow us to transfer the definition of string group extensions from the $\infty$-category of spaces to the $\infty$-category of smooth spaces. Finally, we consider smooth higher-categorical group extensions that arise as obstructions to the existence of equivariant structures on gerbes. We show that these extensions give rise to new smooth models for the string group, as recently conjectured in joint work with Müller and Szabo.

description: We consider a discrete-time non-Hamiltonian dynamics of a quantum system consisting of a finite sample locally coupled to several bi-infinite reservoirs of fermions with a translation symmetry. In this setup, we compute the asymptotic state, mean fluxes of fermions into the different reservoirs, as well as the mean entropy production rate of the dynamics. Formulas are explicitly expanded to leading order in the strength of the coupling to the reservoirs.

description: SummaryNon-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is the sixth most common cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Most NHLs initially respond well to chemotherapy, but relapse is common and treatment is often limited due to the toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents. Pegylated-liposomal doxorubicin (PLD, Ben Venue Laboratories, Inc), a produces less myelotoxicity than non-liposomal (NL) doxorubicin. To further enhance efficacy and NHL targeting and to decrease toxicity, we conjugated an anti-CD22 monoclonal antibody (HB22.7) to the surface of PLD, thereby creating CD22-targeted immunoliposomal PLD (IL-PLD). HB22.7 was successfully conjugated to PLD and the resulting IL-PLD exhibits specific binding to CD22-expressing cells as assessed by immunofluorescence staining. IL-PLD exhibits more cytotoxicity than PLD in CD22 positive cell lines but does not increase killing of CD22 negative cells. The IC50 of IL-PLD is 3.1 to 5.4 times lower than that of PLD in CD22+ cell lines while the IC50 of IL-PLD is equal to that of PLD in CD22- cells. Furthermore, IL-PLD remained bound to the CD22+ cells after washing and continued to exert cytotoxic effects, while PLD and NL- doxorubicin could easily be washed from these cells.

description: We analyze a convex stochastic optimization problem where the state is assumed to belong to the Bochner space of essentially bounded random variables with images in a reflexive and separable Banach space. For this problem, we obtain optimality conditions that are, with an appropriate model, necessary and sufficient. Additionally, the Lagrange multipliers associated with optimality conditions are integrable vector-valued functions and not only measures. A model problem is given demonstrating the application to PDE-constrained optimization under uncertainty with an outlook for further applications.

description: The abrupt variation in climatic patterns has become a global concern in terms of food security. Biochar, known to ameliorate climatic adversities by sequestering carbon and activating systemic resistance pathways in plants, has become increasingly relevant. Therefore, the study was aimed to characterize leaf waste biochar (LWB) by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, SEM-EDX and X-ray diffraction analytical techniques as well as determination of its impact on the development of bacterial wilt (BW) in eggplant (Solanum melongena) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum (RS). The effect of LWB on the physiology and defense associated biochemistry of eggplants was investigated thoroughly. Eggplants either inoculated (+RS) or un-inoculated (-RS) were cultivated in potting mixture containing 3 and 6% (v/v) LWB separately. In comparison with substrate (soil only), percentage disease index was significantly reduced (71%) in plants grown in 6% LWB amended treatments. Biochar-induced increase in level of total chlorophyll content as well as in bio-chemicals such as phenolics, flavonoids and peroxidases were evident on plants in terms of resistance response against BW. Moreover, biochar also significantly affected the level of NPK in the eggplants. In conclusion, biochar triggered biochemical alterations played a pivotal role in the management of BW along with the curing of the disease-infested soils.

description: Viele Tsunami-Opfer in Sri Lanka haben inzwischen wieder ein Haus. Doch damit fangen die Probleme häufig erst richtig an. „Nach dem Tsunami lebte ich mit meiner Familie in einer Notunterkunft. Dann durften wir uns aussuchen, in welchem der neuen Dörfer wir leben wollen. Aber die Entscheidung, nach Katupolwatta zu ziehen, war die schlechteste meines Lebens.“ Eine bittere Erkenntnis für Nalani, Bewohnerin des Hauses Nr. 63 in Katupolwatta. Das neue Dorf im Süden Sri Lankas wurde nach dem Tsunami von einer europäischen Nichtregierungsorganisation gebaut. Mitten im Nirgendwo, acht Kilometer von der Küste entfernt. Es gibt Konflikte innerhalb des Dorfes und mit den Nachbargemeinden: Die gönnen den Neuen die internationale Hilfe nicht!

description: SummaryPurpose Amplification or over-expression of the mitotic Aurora A kinase (AAK) has been reported in several heme-lymphatic malignancies. MLN8237 (alisertib) is a novel inhibitor of AAK that is being developed for the treatment of advanced malignancies. The objectives of this phase I study were to establish the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profiles of escalating doses of MLN8237 in patients with relapsed or refractory heme-lymphatic malignancies. Methods Sequential cohorts of patients received MLN8237 orally as either a powder-in-capsule (PIC) or enteric-coated tablet (ECT) formulation. Patients received MLN8237 PIC 25–90mg for 14 or 21 consecutive days plus 14 or 7days’ rest, respectively, or MLN8237 ECT, at a starting dose of 40mg/day once-daily (QD) for 14days plus 14days’ rest, all in 28-daycycles. Subsequent cohorts received MLN8237 ECT 30–50mg twice-daily (BID) for 7days plus 14days’ rest in 21-daycycles. Results Fifty-eight patients were enrolled (PIC n = 28, ECT n = 30). The most frequent grade ≥3 drug-related toxicities were neutropenia (45%), thrombocytopenia (28%), anemia (19%), and leukopenia (19%). The maximum tolerated dose on the ECT 7-day schedule was 50mg BID. The terminal half-life of MLN8237 was approximately 19h. Six (13%) patients achieved partial responses and 13 (28%) stable disease. Conclusion The recommended phase II dose of MLN8237 ECT is 50mg BID for 7days in 21-daycycles, which is currently being evaluated as a single agent in phase II/III trials in patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10637-013-0050-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

description: We discuss the successes and limitations of statistical sampling for a sequence of models studied in the context of lattice QCD and emphasize the need for new methods to deal with finite-density and real-time evolution. We show that these lattice models can be reformulated using tensorial methods where the field integrations in the path-integral formalism are replaced by discrete sums. These formulations involve various types of duality and provide exact coarse-graining formulas which can be combined with truncations to obtain practical implementations of the Wilson renormalization group program. Tensor reformulations are naturally discrete and provide manageable transfer matrices. Combining truncations with the time continuum limit, we derive Hamiltonians suitable to perform quantum simulation experiments, for instance using cold atoms, or to be programmed on existing quantum computers. We review recent progress concerning the tensor field theory treatment of non-compact scalar models, supersymmetric models, economical four-dimensional algorithms, noise-robust enforcement of Gauss's law, symmetry preserving truncations and topological considerations. We discuss connections with other tensor network approaches.

description: Ich will ins Land der Nachkommen Vijayas, der buddhistischen Löwensöhne, und ins Land der Inseltamilen, die Shiva huldigen. Ankunft in Colombo-Katunayake. Es ist März, Vormonsun. Schon am frühen Morgen legt sich eine schwüle Wärme auf meinen vom Flug ermatteten Körper, der bald von der glühenden Hitze des Tages erfasst werden wird – sieben Grad von der Linie des Äquator entfernt. Ich bin in Sri Lanka, der „strahlend-Schönen“ oder dem „Land der Hyazinthen und Rubine“, der „Juwelen-Insel“ und „Insel der Götter“, „Zeilan“, die „beste Insel der Welt“, wie Marco Polo schwärmte, oder „Serendib“, die „zufällig entdeckte Schöne, Entzückende“, so Ibn Battuta, der berühmte arabische Reisende des Mittelalters. Aber ich bin nicht zufällig hier, will wandeln auf den Spuren vieler Tausender Touristen jüngster Zeit, wie Reisende aus Deutschland der letzten Jahrhunderte: Julius Meurer, Ernst Haeckel, Wilhelm Geiger, Emil Selenka, Hermann Hesse – Forscher und Literaten. Ähnlich den Griechen, Persern und Chinesen vor ihnen, gerieten sie alle beim Anblick des Eilandes in eloquente Euphorie, doch ich weiß: Ich bin auch an dem Ort eines schon fast zwanzigjährigen blutigen Bürgerkrieges, spannungsgeladener sozialer, ethnisch-religiöser Gegensätze und in einem Land mit der zweithöchsten Suizid-Rate auf unserem Planeten.
