description:
Background/Objectives: Improvements in catheter connection design intended to increase safety have resulted in connections that are difficult to release manually. No medical device exists to safely disconnect catheter connections. Nurses and other users have developed workarounds including use of hemostats, tourniquets, and wrenches. These workarounds are not always successful for performing this task and can break catheters and catheter connections. This study aimed to evaluate a disconnection device to safely disconnect catheter connections. Methods: This is a mixed-methods study using a user-centered design approach with triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data mapped to Valdez’s sociotechnical framework. Nurses (N = 139) from units across two academic medical centers encompassing diverse patient populations engaged in usability testing and surveys. Data about users’ past catheter disconnection experiences and usability of the specialized disconnection device were collected and analyzed. Triangulation of quantitative data and qualitative themes was mapped using Valdez’s socio-technical framework to complement and strengthen the final design generated for nurses’ user requirements. Results: Ninety-five percent of nurses reported previous difficulty with disconnecting luer connections; 93% of those reporting difficulty improvised with readily available medical devices or products to better grip the connected parts. Over 85% of nurses reported positive experiences using the specialized disconnection device; others suggested design improvements for better performance. Conclusions: The nurses who tested the developed disconnection device reported high acceptability, accessibility, ease of use, and improved task performance. Moreover, as workarounds develop at points of practice where no systematic solution exists, aiming product development activities at these points help close gaps in achieving and maintaining patient safety. This study was not registered.

description: Superconducting tunnel junctions are being developed for application as photon detectors in astronomy. We present the latest results on the development of very high quality, very low critical temperature junctions, fabricated out of pure Al electrodes. The detectors are operated at 50 mK in an adiabatic demagnetisation refrigerator. The contacts to the top and base electrodes of these junctions are fabricated either out of Nb or Ta, which has strong implications on the loss time of the quasiparticles. The Nb contacted junctions show quasiparticle loss times varying between 5 and 80 usec, depending on the device size. The bias range of the Nb-contacted junctions is limited to the range 0-100 uV, because of the set-in of strong non-equilibrium quasiparticle multiplication currents at higher bias voltages. The Ta-contacted junctions, on the other hand, show quasiparticle loss times in excess of 200 usec. These long loss times lead to very strong quasiparticle multiplication, which prevents the stable biasing of the junctions even at very low bias voltages. Junction fabrication and characterisation are described, as well as the response of the detectors to monochromatic light with wavelengths varying from 250 to 1000 nm. The energy resolution of the detectors is discussed.

description: Este estudo pretende analisar a produção para autoconsumo de agricultores familiares da comunidade de Jacarezinho, pertencente ao município de Encantado, Rio Grande do Sul. Para isso, a visão de agricultores, é analisada a partir de perspectivas que se propõem a entender como são percebidos por eles os alimentos produzidos para o autoconsumo, tendo por contraponto a produção moderna, surgida a partir dos anos 70. Buscar-se-á, também, observar o destino dos alimentos produzidos inicialmente para o consumo (trocas, doações, comercialização) a fim de identificar a existência ou não de excedentes que pudessem vir a ser comercializados.---------------This study intends to analyse the production for self-consumption of family agriculturists of the community of Jacarezinho that belongs to the municipal district of Encantado, Rio Grande do Sul. For that, the view of the agriculturists, are analysed from the perspectives that propose to understand how the food that is produced for self-consumption is perceived by them, having the counterpoint, the modern production from the seventies. It will also search to observe the destination of food that is produced at first for the self-consumption(exchanges,donations,commercialization) in order to identify the existence or not of surplus which could be commercialized.
Absorption of dark matter by a supermassive black hole at the Galactic center: role of boundary conditions

description: The evolution of the dark matter distribution at the Galactic center is analyzed, which is caused by the combination of gravitational scattering on Galactic bulge stars and absorption by a supermassive black hole at the center of the bulge. Attention is focused on the boundary condition on the black hole. It is shown that its form depends on the energy of dark matter particles. The modified flux of dark matter particles onto the black hole is calculated. Estimates of the amount of dark matter absorbed show that the fraction of dark matter in the total mass of the black hole may be significant. The density of dark matter at the central part of the bulge is calculated. It is shown that recently observed gamma radiation from the Galactic center can be attributed to the annihilation of dark matter with this density.

description: A generalized model for the critical temperature Tc of superconducting bilayers is presented, which is valid with no restrictions to film thicknesses, Tc of the layers and interface resistivity. The model is verified experimentally on a series of Nb-Al and Ta-Al bilayers with Nb, Ta layer thicknesses of 100 nm and Al layer thicknesses ranging from 5 nm to 200 nm. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment was found for the energy gap and the Tc of bilayers. The results are important for designing practical superconducting devices.

description: We present the "C4 Cluster Catalog", a new sample of 748 clusters of galaxies identified in the spectroscopic sample of the Second Data Release (DR2) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The C4 cluster--finding algorithm identifies clusters as overdensities in a seven-dimensional position and color space, thus minimizing projection effects which plagued previous optical clusters selection. The present C4 catalog covers ~2600 square degrees of sky with groups containing 10 members to massive clusters having over 200 cluster members with redshifts. We provide cluster properties like sky location, mean redshift, galaxy membership, summed r--band optical luminosity (L_r), velocity dispersion, and measures of substructure. We use new mock galaxy catalogs to investigate the sensitivity to the various algorithm parameters, as well as to quantify purity and completeness. These mock catalogs indicate that the C4 catalog is ~90% complete and 95% pure above M_200 = 1x10^14 solar masses and within 0.03 <=z <= 0.12. The C4 algorithm finds 98% of X-ray identified clusters and 90% of Abell clusters within 0.03 <= z <= 0.12. We show that the L_r of a cluster is a more robust estimator of the halo mass (M_200) than the line-of-sight velocity dispersion or the richness of the cluster. L_r. The final SDSS data will provide ~2500 C4 clusters and will represent one of the largest and most homogeneous samples of local clusters.

description: O uso dos produtos à base de plantas medicinais surge como uma forte tendência mundial. Esse é considerado um mercado promissor e apresenta números expressivos, tornando-se um ambiente de negócio atrativo. Entretanto, apesar de toda importância social e econômica, o Brasil e o Paraná não tem investido adequadamente na produção, industrialização e distribuição dessas plantas. Nesse contexto, buscou-se, através desse trabalho, caracterizar e analisar a produção de plantas medicinais no estado do Paraná. Para alcance desse objetivo foram utilizados dados secundários, encontrados em livros, artigos científicos, revistas e, principalmente, em sites governamentais. Pode-se concluir, a partir da pesquisa, que existe um aumento da oferta e demanda de plantas medicinais, entretanto o sistema produtivo encontra-se deficiente e despreparado para atender a esse novo mercado. O Paraná é o estado maior produtor de plantas medicinais no Brasil, contudo seu maior desafio é agregar valor a esse produto. A legislação brasileira, a ausência de linhas de crédito específicas e o investimento inicial são considerados os principais entraves a produção.-------------------The use of products based on medicinal plants emerges as a strong global trend. It’s considered a promising market and presents significant data, becoming an environment attractive to business. However, despite all social and economic importance, Brazil and Paraná has not adequately invested in the production, industrialization and distribution of these plants. In this context, this work aims to characterize and to analyze medicinal plants production in Paraná state. To do so secondary data were used, found in books, scientific papers, magazines and, especially, in government sites. It can be concluded from the research that there is an increase in supply and demand for medicinal plants, however the production system is deficient and unprepared to reacht this new market. The Paraná is the largest producer of medicinal plants in Brazil, but its biggest challenge is adding value to those products. The Brazilian legislation, the absence of specific credit conditions and the initial investment are considered the main obstacles to production.

description:
Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and examine the relationships among elements of infection prevention practices, the care environment, psychological safety, and safety climate in adult medical surgical units in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Nurses in adult inpatient medical surgical units in the northeast were surveyed electronically. Each self-rated their infection prevention practices and elements of the care environment in their primary work unit. They were also asked to rate a series of questions regarding how psychologically safe they felt on their units as well as the overall patient safety climate. Results: A total of 259 nurses responded (52% response rate) to the survey. Overall psychological safety was rated neutrally among respondents, with a rating of 3.5 (1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest). Respondents reported better ratings of the safety climate on their unit (4.0) but also identified areas for improvement. Eight of twelve infection prevention practices were correlated with higher safety climate scores and ten were correlated with higher psychological safety scores. Nine of ten environmental factors were correlated with higher safety climate and higher psychological safety scores. Conclusions: Both psychological safety and patient safety climate are related to nurse self-ratings of performance of infection prevention practices. Similarly, the care environment nurses work in has important implications for psychological safety and patient safety. It is essential for nursing leadership to act as a steward in these areas to build a higher quality care environment for nurses and patients alike.

description: In light of the cosmological observations, we investigate dark energy models from the Horndeski theory of gravity. In particular, we consider cosmological models with the derivative self-interaction of the scalar field and the derivative coupling between the scalar field and gravity. We choose the self-interaction term to have an exponential function of the scalar field with both positive and negative exponents. For the function that has a positive exponent, our result shows that the derivative self-interaction term plays an important role in the late-time universe. On the other hand, to reproduce the right cosmic history, the derivative coupling between the scalar field and gravity must dominate during the radiation-dominated phase. However, the importance of such a coupling in the present universe found to be negligible due to its drastic decrease over time. Moreover, the propagation speed of gravitational waves estimated for our model is within the observational bounds, and our model satisfies the observational constraints on the dark energy equation of state.

description: We study a simple quantum mechanical symmetric donor-acceptor model for electron transfer (ET) with coupling to internal deformations. The model contains several basic properties found in biological ET in enzymes and photosynthetic centers; it produces tunnelling with hysteresis thus providing a simple explanation for the slowness of the reversed rate and the near 100% efficiency of ET in many biological systems. The model also provides a conceptual framework for the development of molecular electronics memory elements based on electrostatic architectures.

description: Background: The growing dollar store sector has raised concerns about nutrition and associated health outcomes, especially for low-income communities who disproportionately rely on dollar stores. Perspectives of dollar store shoppers are largely absent. Objective: This study aimed to understand why low-income shoppers choose to purchase food from dollar stores and what store changes, policies, and programs would make it easier for them to purchase healthier items. Methods: In May–June 2023, we conducted interviews with 19 dollar store shoppers in an urban county in North Carolina. We used thematic analysis and the framework method to identify emergent patterns and themes across responses. Results: Individuals relied on dollar stores because of the affordable prices and convenient locations. In order of frequency, most participants purchased candy and snacks from dollar stores, followed by meat, fruits, and vegetables. Participants wanted more fruits, vegetables, and higher quality proteins at dollar stores and supported policies that increase access to healthier options via increased purchasing power, increased access to a mobile farmers’ market, marketing that identifies nutritionally healthy products, and improved access to other store types. Responses to removing unhealthy items from checkout areas were mixed. Conclusions: Dollar stores are affordable and convenient food retailers for people with low incomes. However, dollar stores are not meeting demand for fruits, vegetables, and proteins, items necessary for food and nutrition security. To improve food access and community health, decision makers should incorporate community perspectives into efforts aimed at improving dollar store food options.

A limitada eficácia no controle dos processos de degradação ambiental relacionados com as ações do desmatamento e das queimadas encontram-se vinculados com a abordagem linear e disciplinar com que são tratados. Os resultados observados sugerem que o processo de modificação sobre o ambiente físico que se verifica nestas localidades é influenciado por uma associação positiva que os agricultores em ambos os sistemas produtivos estabelecem entre estas ações e uma suposta melhoria nas suas condições de produção.-----------------------The study aborded in this article is aimed at verifying the relationship between the environment degradation process and the model of productive development established in the western part of Mato Grosso State, Brazil, taking as reference familiar and patronal producers in the localities of Pontes e Lacerda and Campos de Júlio, respectively. The limited efficiency in the control of the environment degradation processes related to the deforestation and fire in the forest where linked with the linear and disciplinary approach. The observed results suggest that the process of modification of this physical environment, which can be checked in these places is influenced by a positive association that the rural producers in both production systems established between these actions and a presumed improvement in their productive conditions.

description: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been increasingly employed to investigate functional brain activity. Many fMRI-related software/toolboxes have been developed, providing specialized algorithms for fMRI analysis. However, existing toolboxes seldom consider fMRI data augmentation, which is quite useful, especially in studies with limited or imbalanced data. Moreover, current studies usually focus on analyzing fMRI using conventional machine learning models that rely on human-engineered fMRI features, without investigating deep learning models that can automatically learn data-driven fMRI representations. In this work, we develop an open-source toolbox, called Augmentation and Computation Toolbox for braIn netwOrk aNalysis (ACTION), offering comprehensive functions to streamline fMRI analysis. The ACTION is a Python-based and cross-platform toolbox with graphical user-friendly interfaces. It enables automatic fMRI augmentation, covering blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal augmentation and brain network augmentation. Many popular methods for brain network construction and network feature extraction are included. In particular, it supports constructing deep learning models, which leverage large-scale auxiliary unlabeled data (3,800+ resting-state fMRI scans) for model pretraining to enhance model performance for downstream tasks. To facilitate multi-site fMRI studies, it is also equipped with several popular federated learning strategies. Furthermore, it enables users to design and test custom algorithms through scripting, greatly improving its utility and extensibility. We demonstrate the effectiveness and user-friendliness of ACTION on real fMRI data and present the experimental results. The software, along with its source code and manual, can be accessed online.

description: Understanding the meaning of existing SQL queries is critical for code maintenance and reuse. Yet SQL can be hard to read, even for expert users or the original creator of a query. We conjecture that it is possible to capture the logical intent of queries in \emph{automatically-generated visual diagrams} that can help users understand the meaning of queries faster and more accurately than SQL text alone. We present initial steps in that direction with visual diagrams that are based on the first-order logic foundation of SQL and can capture the meaning of deeply nested queries. Our diagrams build upon a rich history of diagrammatic reasoning systems in logic and were designed using a large body of human-computer interaction best practices: they are \emph{minimal} in that no visual element is superfluous; they are \emph{unambiguous} in that no two queries with different semantics map to the same visualization; and they \emph{extend} previously existing visual representations of relational schemata and conjunctive queries in a natural way. An experimental evaluation involving 42 users on Amazon Mechanical Turk shows that with only a 2--3 minute static tutorial, participants could interpret queries meaningfully faster with our diagrams than when reading SQL alone. Moreover, we have evidence that our visual diagrams result in participants making fewer errors than with SQL. We believe that more regular exposure to diagrammatic representations of SQL can give rise to a \emph{pattern-based} and thus more intuitive use and re-use of SQL.

The effects of population III stars on the chemical and photometrical evolution of ellipticals

description: We have studied the effects of an hypothetical initial generation containing very massive stars (M > 100 Msun, pair-creation SNe) on the chemical and photometric evolution of elliptical galaxies. To this purpose, we have computed the evolution of a typical elliptical galaxy with luminous mass of the order of 10^11 Msun and adopted chemical evolution models already tested to reproduce the main features of ellipticals. We have tested several sets of yields for very massive zero-metallicity stars: these stars should produce quite different amounts of heavy elements than lower mass stars. We found that the effects of population III stars on the chemical enrichment is negligible if only one or two generations of such stars occurred, whereas they produce quite different results from the standard models if they continuously formed for a period not shorter than 0.1 Gyr. In this case, the results are at variance with the main observational constraints of ellipticals such as the average [] ratio in stars and the integrated colors. Therefore, we conclude that if population III stars ever existed they must have been present for a very short period of time and their effects on the following evolution of the parent galaxy must have been negligible. This effect is minimum if a more realistic model with initial infall of gas rather than the classic monolithic model is adopted. Ultimately, we conclude that there is no need to invoke a generation of very massive stars in ellipticals to explain their chemical and photometric properties.

description: Since the Spring of 2020, the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) organization has intentionally committed to reframing and refocusing efforts to move the organization forward through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Having made a statement in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis during the unprecedented times of the coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic (for review, see Bushana et al., 2020; Esposito & King, 2020), we have internally valuated the organization to develop a DEI action plan that would advance the society’s ideals and programming for years to come (Bayline et al., 2020).

description: O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar a relação entre o grau de desenvolvimento tecnológico e a estrutura fundiária dos municípios da regiões Norte e Noroeste do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para caracterizar o grau de desenvolvimento tecnológico, foi empregada a técnica da analise fatorial, enquanto o índice de Gini, a área média e o percentual da área ocupada pelos 5% maiores e os 50% menores estabelecimentos foram empregados para caracterizar o perfil fundiário. Constatou-se que há diferenças entre o grau e o perfil do desenvolvimento tecnológico atingindo pelas regiões, que estão relacionadas, provavelmente, com a as diferenças na estrutura fundiária de cada uma delas.----------------The objective of the research was to analyze the relation between the degree of technological development and the agrarian structure in the North and the Northwest regions of the Rio de Janeiro. Factor analysis technique was used to characterize the degree of technological development, while the Gini index, the average area, the percentage of the area corresponding to the 5% largest landholders, and the percentage of the area corresponding to the 50% smallest landholders, were used to describe the profile of the land distribution. It was observed significant differences between the regions, concerning the degree of the technological development, that are, probably, related to the differences in the agrarian structure of each one of them.

Photoabsorption spectra of the diamagnetic hydrogen atom in the transition regime to chaos: Closed orbit theory with bifurcating orbits

description: With increasing energy the diamagnetic hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from regular to chaotic classical dynamics, and the closed orbits pass through various cascades of bifurcations. Closed orbit theory allows for the semiclassical calculation of photoabsorption spectra of the diamagnetic hydrogen atom. However, at the bifurcations the closed orbit contributions diverge. The singularities can be removed with the help of uniform semiclassical approximations which are constructed over a wide energy range for different types of codimension one and two catastrophes. Using the uniform approximations and applying the high-resolution harmonic inversion method we calculate fully resolved semiclassical photoabsorption spectra, i.e., individual eigenenergies and transition matrix elements at laboratory magnetic field strengths, and compare them with the results of exact quantum calculations.
