description: Disease may drive variation in host community structure by modifying the interplay of deterministic and stochastic processes that shape communities. For instance, deterministic processes like ecological selection can benefit species less impacted by disease. When communities have higher levels of disease and disease consistently selects for certain host species, this can reduce variation in host community composition. On the other hand, when host communities are less impacted by disease and selection is weaker, stochastic processes (e.g., drift, dispersal) may play a bigger role in host community structure, which can increase variation among communities. While effects of disease on host community structure have been quantified in field experiments, few have addressed the role of disease in modulating variation in structure among host communities. To address this, we conducted a field experiment spanning three years, using a tractable system: foliar fungal pathogens in an old-field grassland community dominated by the grass Lolium arundinaceum, tall fescue. We reduced foliar fungal disease burden in replicate host communities (experimental plots in intact vegetation) in three fungicide regimens that varied in the seasonal duration of fungicide treatment and included a fungicide-free control. We measured host diversity, biomass, and variation in community structure among replicate communities. Disease reduction generally decreased plant richness and increased aboveground biomass relative to communities experiencing ambient levels of disease. These changes in richness and aboveground biomass were consistent across years despite changes in structure of the plant communities over the experiment’s three years. Importantly, disease reduction amplified host community variation, suggesting that disease diminished the degree to which host communities were structured by stochastic processes. These results of experimental disease reduction both highlight the potential importance of stochastic processes in plant communities and reveal the potential for disease to regulate variation in host community structure.

description: In the present paper, we compare the predictions of two well known mechanisms considered able to solve the cusp/core problem (a. supernova feedback; b. baryonic clumps-DM interaction) by comparing their theoretical predictions to recent observations of the inner slopes of galaxies with masses ranging from dSphs to normal spirals. We compare the $α$-$V_{\rm rot}$ and the $α$-$M_{\ast}$ relationships, predicted by the two models with high resolution data coming from \citep{Adams2014,Simon2005}, LITTLE THINGS \citep{Oh2015}, THINGS dwarves \citep{Oh2011a,Oh2011b}, THINGS spirals \citep{Oh2015}, Sculptor, Fornax and the Milky Way. The comparison of the theoretical predictions with the complete set of data shows that the two models perform similarly, while when we restrict the analysis to a smaller subsample of higher quality, we show that the method presented in this paper (baryonic clumps-DM interaction) performs better than the one based on supernova feedback. We also show that, contrarily to the first model prediction, dSphs of small mass could have cored profiles. This means that observations of cored inner profiles in dSphs having a stellar mass $<10^6 M_{\odot}$ not necessarily imply problems for the $Λ$CDM model.

description: Cervical tumefaction in a child at Brazzaville University Hospital, Republic of the Congo A 8-year-old schoolgirl from West Africa with no previous pathological history was admitted to the haematology department of the Brazzaville University Hospital for the management of cervical adenopathy. The diagnosis of sinus histiocytosis or Destombes-Rosaï-Dorfman disease was retained and the patient was treated with PO corticosteroids (methylprednisolone 32 mg/d then 16 mg/d). Given the rarity and uncertain aetiopathogeny of this syndrome, treatment is poorly codified. It includes corticosteroid therapy, immunomodulators and sometimes chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery, indicated in case of clinical manifestations of local organ compression. The disease may regress spontaneously. Its benignity does not justify systematic treatment in the absence of complications. Tuméfaction cervicale chez une enfant au CHU de Brazzaville, République du Congo Une écolière de 8 ans, originaire d’Afrique de l’Ouest, sans antécédents pathologiques, est admise en consultation d’hématologie au CHU de Brazzaville pour la prise en charge d’adénopathies cervicales. Le diagnostic d’histiocytose sinusale ou maladie de Destombes-Rosaï-Dorfman a été retenu et la patiente a été traitée par corticoïdes PO (méthylprednisolone 32 mg/j puis 16 mg/j). Compte tenu de sa rareté et de l’étiopathogénie incertaine de ce syndrome, le traitement est mal codifié. Il comporte la corticothérapie, des immunomodulateurs et parfois une chimiothérapie, une radiothérapie ou la chirurgie, indiquées en cas de manifestations cliniques de compressions d’organes locaux. La maladie peut spontanément régresser. Sa bénignité ne justifie pas un traitement systématique en l’absence de complications.

description: BACKGROUND: The efficacy of messenger RNA (mRNA)-1273 against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is not well defined, particularly among young adults. METHODS: Adults aged 18-29 years with no known history of SARS-CoV-2 infection or prior vaccination for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were recruited from 44 US sites from 24 March to 13 September 2021 and randomized 1:1 to immediate vaccination (receipt of 2 doses of mRNA-1273 vaccine at months 0 and 1) or the standard of care (receipt of COVID-19 vaccine). Randomized participants were followed up for SARS-CoV-2 infection measured by nasal swab testing and symptomatic COVID-19 measured by nasal swab testing plus symptom assessment and assessed for the primary efficacy outcome. A vaccine-declined observational group was also recruited from 16 June to 8 November 2021 and followed up for SARS-CoV-2 infection as specified for the randomized participants. RESULTS: The study enrolled 1149 in the randomized arms and 311 in the vaccine-declined group and collected >122 000 nasal swab samples. Based on randomized participants, the efficacy of 2 doses of mRNA-1273 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection was 52.6% (95% confidence interval, -14.1% to 80.3%), with the majority of infections due to the Delta variant. Vaccine efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 was 71.0% (95% confidence interval, -9.5% to 92.3%). Precision was limited owing to curtailed study enrollment and off-study vaccination censoring. The incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the vaccine-declined group was 1.8 times higher than in the standard-of-care group. CONCLUSIONS: mRNA-1273 vaccination reduced the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection from March to September 2021, but vaccination was only one factor influencing risk.

description: We consider the impact of a stochastic background of primordial magnetic fields with non-vanishing helicity on CMB anisotropies in temperature and polarization. We compute the exact expressions for the scalar, vector and tensor part of the energy-momentum tensor including the helical contribution, by assuming a power-law dependence for the spectra and a comoving cutoff which mimics the damping due to viscosity. We also compute the parity-odd correlator between the helical and non-helical contribution which generate the TB and EB cross-correlation in the CMB pattern. We finally show the impact of including the helical term on the power spectra of CMB anisotropies up to multipoles with ell ~ O(10^3)$.

description: Research on infectious diseases in the French Armed Forces Health Service: one hundred years after Alphonse Laveran The army has always been particularly exposed to the risk of infection, which Alphonse Laveran already analyzed in 1875 in his Traité des maladies et épidémies des armées. Nowadays, the risk of infection is still present, which is why the Armed Forces Health Service (SSA) employs modern research resources in this area structured around the Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute (IRBA) supported by the Military Training Hospitals (HIA), the Armed Forces Epidemiology and Public Health Center (CESPA), and the Val-de-Grâce School. These resources meet current research needs in infectious and tropical diseases and are preparing to respond to future emergences. Recently, the SSA research has stood out in several epidemics and emergences that have affected the French Armed Forces and the national population. Recherche sur les maladies infectieuses dans le Service de santé des armées : cent ans après Alphonse Laveran Les armées ont toujours été particulièrement exposées au risque infectieux, ce qu’Alphonse Laveran analysa dès 1875 dans son Traité des maladies et épidémies des armées. De nos jours, le risque infectieux est toujours aussi présent, c’est pourquoi le Service de santé des armées (SSA) emploie dans ce domaine des moyens de recherche modernes structurés autour de l’Institut de recherche biomédicale des armées (IRBA) appuyé par les Hôpitaux d’instruction des armées (HIA), le Centre d’épidémiologie et de santé publique des armées (CESPA), et l’École du Val-de-Grâce. Ces moyens répondent aux besoins actuels de recherche en maladies infectieuses et tropicales et se préparent à répondre aux futures émergences. Récemment, la recherche du SSA a pu s’illustrer dans plusieurs épidémies et émergences qui ont touché les forces armées et la population nationale.

description: Seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts befindet sich unsere Gesellschaft in einem Wandel, welcher bewirkt, dass nahezu alle Lebensbereiche in die Digitale Welt gelagert werden. Der Fortschritt in die Digitalisierung soll vielen Menschen den Alltag erleichtern, Wege verkürzen, Informationen schneller abrufbar machen. Jedoch gestaltet sich genau dieser Vorteil für viele Personengruppen zu einem erheblichen Hindernis. Immer mehr Informationen sind nur noch online zugänglich. Menschen mit den verschiedensten Einschränkungen werden somit ausgeschlossen, da es ihnen ohne Alternativen gänzlich nicht möglich ist, Informations- und Kommunikationsangebote zu nutzen, die nicht an ihre Bedürfnisse angepasst sind. Das Ziel in der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es zu beantworten, durch welche Kriterien eine öffentliche Hochschulwebseite erfolgreich an die Voraussetzung eines barrierefreien Zugriffs angepasst werden kann. Dazu wird die folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: Ist es möglich, eine Webseite vollkommen barrierefrei im Medium eines PDF-Dokumentes zu konzeptionieren? Ein barrierefreier Webauftritt ist unausgeschlossen für alle Nutzenden hilfreich und erleichtert die Bedienbarkeit. Für mehr als 30% aller Nutzer ist sie dringend notwendig und wiederum für 10% unerlässlich. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurden mehrere Richtlinien, welche die Konformität und Ansprüche verschiedener Benutzergruppen an einer barrierefreien Informationsverarbeitung festlegen, zu Hilfe gezogen und auf den Bereich des webbasierten Informationsangebotes der Hochschule Schmalkalden zugeschnitten. Die wesentlichsten Richtlinien wurden Veröffentlichungen aus nationalen und internationalen Gremien und Gesetzestexten entnommen. Hierbei werden Empfehlungen und Grundsätze beschrieben, welche die Struktur, Bedienflächen sowie die Schrift und Kontraste der Darstellungen umfassen. Auch Formulare und die Beachtung der Zugänglichkeit verschiedener Dokumente sowie die Bereitstellung einiger Alternativen sind wichtige Aspekte.

description: Experimental violations of Bell inequalities are in general vulnerable to so-called "loopholes." In this work, we analyse the characteristics of a loophole-free Bell test with photons, closing simultaneously the locality, freedom-of-choice, fair-sampling (i.e. detection), coincidence-time, and memory loopholes. We pay special attention to the effect of excess predictability in the setting choices due to non-ideal random number generators. We discuss necessary adaptations of the CH/Eberhard inequality when using such imperfect devices and -- using Hoeffding's inequality and Doob's optional stopping theorem -- the statistical analysis in such Bell tests.

description: Interpretation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) measurements in complex rocks such as shaly sands, mixed-wet rocks, and organic-rich mudrocks has been a challenge for petrophyscists. The major challenges in interpretation of NMR responses in such complex rocks include complex rock composition, presence of clay minerals and organic content such as kerogen, and uncertainties about proton relaxation mechanisms in kerogen and clay minerals. These challenges lead to extensive need for calibration efforts for reliable interpretation of NMR measurements for assessment of petrophysical properties. In this research, I use a combination of experimental and simulation-based approaches to tackle the aforementioned challenges. First, I modify an existing finite-volume simulator to numerically solve Bloch-Torrey equations. This simulator takes pore-scale images of rocks and bulk and surface properties of fluids and grains as inputs. This simulator outputs magnetization decays obtained for different pulse sequences. I apply this simulator to model NMR responses in synthetic and actual pore-scale images of sandstones and carbonates. Next, I use this simulator to quantify the influence of shale topology and internal magnetic gradients on NMR responses obtained in shaly sands. To improve NMR interpretation in mixed-wet rocks, I develop a new NMR-based wettability index. This new index can be applied to mixed-wet rocks with complex pore-structures at any fluid saturation level. I validate this new wettability index in pore-scale and core-scale domains using the developed numerical simulator and experimental measurements documented in a recent publication. Furthermore, I develop a new kerogen surface relaxivity model that accounts for different coupling mechanisms in kerogen pores. I use experimental measurements on kerogen isolates to validate this surface relaxivity model and quantify the influence of inter-molecular coupling on kerogen surface relaxivities. Finally, I develop a new model to quantify clay-bound water relaxation that assimilates the influence of hydrated cations and surface-bound water molecules. The newly-developed kerogen and clay relaxation models are used as inputs for modeling of NMR responses in pore-scale images of organic-rich mudrocks at different reservoir temperatures and Larmor frequencies. The new methods proposed in this dissertation have been applied for forward modeling NMR responses in complex reservoirs. Such analytical and numerical modeling can help in quantifying the impact of experimental parameters and petrophysical properties on NMR responses which can enhance formation evaluation in complex reservoirs

description: Objective The timeframe from hospital discharge to the commencement of outpatient therapies represents a crucial yet often overlooked period in post-stroke recovery. We designed an eight-week post-stroke management program (STRIDE, Stroke Management Training and Inpatient Rehabilitation Discharge Education) targeting individuals discharging from an inpatient rehabilitation facility to home. The primary aims of this pilot study were to determine STRIDE feasibility and participant engagement. Methods Participants with first or recurrent stroke were enrolled. Each week, participants monitored and recorded their daily activity, completed a 15-min educational module and quiz, and partook in weekly and biweekly communication with a fellow participant and STRIDE coordinator, respectively. Feasibility was evaluated by successful initiation of STRIDE and enrollment of the target population. We also assessed participant adherence and conducted semi-structured exit interviews. Results Of the 99 individuals screened, 20 individuals were enrolled (7 females, 28.6 ± 15.7 days post-stroke). Several participants were unable to begin the program (n = 6) or complete the program (n = 4). Overall, participants completing at least 1 week of STRIDE (n = 14) demonstrated adherence with education module and quiz completion and communication with the STRIDE coordinator. Participant feedback from interviews was largely positive, underscoring the value of STRIDE during early post-stroke recovery. Conclusions These findings support the feasibility of an initiated multi-faceted stroke management program. Participant dropout was a limitation and serves as a consideration when designing future iterations of STRIDE. With the long-term goal of promoting autonomy and investment in one's continued recovery beyond the inpatient setting, STRIDE bridges the transition from hospital to home.

description: Bacteriocins, a class of antimicrobial peptide produced by bacteria, may offer a potential alternative to tradi?tional antibiotics, an important step towards mitigating the ever-increasing antimicrobial resistance crisis. They are active against a range of clinically relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Bacteriocins have been discussed in the literature for over a century. Although they are used as preservatives in food, no medicine based on their antimicrobial activity exists on the market today. In order to formulate them into clinical anti?biotics, pre-formulation studies on their biophysical and physicochemical properties that will influence their activity in vivo and their stability during manufacture must be elucidated. Thermal, pH and enzymatic stability of bacteriocins are commonly studied and regularly reported in the literature. Solubility, permeability and aggre?gation properties on the other hand are less frequently reported for many bacteriocins, which may contribute to their poor clinical progression. Promising cytotoxicity studies report that bacteriocins exhibit few cytotoxic ef?fects on a variety of mammalian cell lines, at active concentrations. This review highlights the lack of quanti?tative data and in many cases even qualitative data, on bacteriocins’ solubility, stability, aggregation, permeability and cytotoxicity. The formulation strategies that have been explored to date, proposed routes of administration, trends in in vitro/in vivo behaviour and efforts in clinical development are discussed. The future promise of bacteriocins as a new generation of antibiotics may require tailored local delivery strategies to fulfil their potential as a force to combat antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections.
Adolescent experiences of gentrification and displacement in Austin

description: Gentrification is the process whereby an urban community is reinvested and redeveloped, often promoted through neoliberal urban policies. This results in an area with a higher average household income and, typically, a higher percentage of white residents. However, this phenomenon also affects the longstanding residents who face displacement due to raised taxes, increased rent, or rezoning and redevelopment. Displaced residents then move to other communities, often the suburbs with cheaper rent and taxes. Some emerging research and media stories also suggest that when residents are displaced, their new communities offer a lower quality of life with fewer community amenities. Given the rapid increase in gentrification across the United States, this likely invokes a systematic increase in the rate of adolescent mobility from their neighborhoods and schools. The study is conceptualized through the understanding that displacement by gentrification may affect adolescents in the following ways: social-emotional effects and place attachment, social relationships, community opportunities, and school opportunities. I first contextualize gentrification and displacement in Austin through GIS analysis and conversations with public servants in the schools and communities. Then, following a qualitative interview research design, I conduct responsive interviews with five adolescents who were displaced by gentrification and their parents. Findings suggest that adolescents experience gentrification-driven displacement in Austin in several ways. Some move several times as a result of their parents trying to maintain a sense of community. Other adolescents return to Austin for extracurricular activities to maintain their community despite moving. Three of the adolescents moved to mobile home communities located away from Austin, even though their parents continued to work in the city. Although there were varied school experiences, including facing bullying and problems with language education, they used their social networks and technology to overcome obstacles. This display of resilience helped to mitigate the more painful experiences related to displacement. This study contributes to the literature on gentrification and education in several ways. First, it defines the construct of “student displacement.” This is an understudied resulting effect of gentrification for adolescents. Second, it emphasizes student voice. As students are the most important members of a school community, understanding their perspectives will help make better informed policy and practice decisions. This study provides a critical perspective of a neoliberal and neocolonial logic permeating schools and communities globally. These perspectives should be used to help inform coordinated policy and practice decisions related to education and urban planning

description: We start from known solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation with a spectral parameter defined on the tensor product of two infinite-dimensional principal series representations of the group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ or Faddeev's modular double. Then we describe its restriction to an irreducible finite-dimensional representation in one or both spaces. In this way we obtain very simple explicit formulas embracing rational and trigonometric finite-dimensional solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Finally, we construct these finite-dimensional solutions by means of the fusion procedure and find a nice agreement between two approaches.
Editorial: Recent advances in our understanding of NEC pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment

description: Necrotizing enterocolitis is a leading cause of death among premature infants, and despite research spanning over six decades, the pathogenesis is still not completely understood. The onset of NEC can be rapid and unpredictable, with clinical signs such as abdominal distension and bloody stools, progressing to fulminant bowel necrosis and death within hours. Even though the clinical and pathological descriptions of NEC were first described many decades ago, the management options have not progressed significantly and continue to be supportive care, such as cessation of feedings, intravenous fluids, antibiotic administration, and, in some cases, surgical bowel resection. Although treatment options for NEC remain limited, one effective preventative strategy is the administration of human milk. Recent advances in identifying the precise nutrients in human milk shed light on its bioactive components and their impact on the intestine. In recent years, several studies have highlighted the benefit of using prebiotics and probiotics as additional preventative options for NEC. Clinical studies focused on diagnostic tools such as using serum biomarkers or big data and artificial intelligence may pave the way for earlier detection to minimize disease progression, avoid the negative impact on other organ systems, and improve the poor neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with NEC. The primary objectives for this topic were to focus on recent advances in our understanding of NEC pathogenesis, new diagnostic strategies such as biomarkers and artificial intelligence, and explore new therapeutic options for treating this devastating disease.

description: Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit sind Überlegungen zur Akzeptanz von Einschränkungen und Eingriffen in Grundrechte angesichts der COVID-19-Pandemie. Als dialog-rekonstruierende Untersuchung setzt sie sich aus einem qualitativen Forschungsansatz heraus mit der Krisenkommunikation der Stadt Jena auf deren Facebook-Seite in dem spezifischen Kontext der Corona-Pandemie auseinander. Auf fallspezifischer Ebene soll transparent gemacht werden, wie diskursive Aushandlungsprozesse im Dialog zwischen politischem Akteur und betroffener Teilöffentlichkeit in Bezug auf weitreichende Krisenmaßnahmen verlaufen können. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Analyse kritischer Diskurssituationen zwischen der Stadt Jena und den Facebook-Nutzern hinsichtlich der zum damaligen Zeitpunkt sehr umstrittenen Maßnahme der Maskenpflicht. Es wurden insgesamt 65 Posts der Stadt Jena sowie 5.271 Kommentare aus dem Zeitraum vom 30. März 2020 bis 11. Mai 2020 herangezogen. Die Datenaufbereitung und -verwaltung wurde unter Zuhilfenahme von Excel und MAXQDA realisiert. Methodisch orientiert sich die Arbeit an wissenssoziologischen Ansätzen der Diskursanalyse. Im Rahmen von drei Analysedimensionen – 1. Thematische Entwicklungen, diskursive Ereignisse und Kontextualisierung, 2. Deutungsmuster und 3. Akteure und Beziehungen – wurde das Textkorpus untersucht. Bei der Offenlegung der thematischen Struktur wurde deutlich, dass v.a. die anfängliche Ankündigung der Maskenpflicht sowie die spätere Ankündigung einer Pflicht im Schulunterricht Konfliktherde markierten. Die Analyse zeigte zudem, dass sich insbesondere vier Deutungsmustern bedient wurde, um eine spezifische Perspektive auf die Maskenpflicht zu fördern und sie damit zu legitimieren bzw. zu delegitimieren: 1. Maskenpflicht unter Gesundheitsaspekten, 2. Maskenpflicht unter Gesichtspunkten der Verhältnismäßigkeit, 3. Folgen einer Maskenpflicht-Umsetzung in der Praxis und 4. Maskenpflicht als Alleingang der Stadt Jena.

description: This thesis examines two widely adopted methods of identifying prescription opioid-related risk; prescription drug monitoring programs and clinical screening tools. It identifies how using a combination of both approaches can enable identification of a broader range of risks and support more informed clinical decisions.

A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio–temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models. In reality, however, the distribution of any population both affects and is affected by those surrounding it, creating a complex network of feedbacks causing emergent spatio–temporal features that may not correlate with any particular aspect of the underlying environment. Here, we study the way in

which the movements of populations in response to one another can affect the spatio– temporal distributions of ecosystems. We construct a stochastic individual-based modelling (IBM) framework, based on stigmergent interactions (i.e. organisms leave marks which cause others to alter their movements) between and within populations. We show how to gain insight into this IBM via mathematical analysis of a partial differential equation (PDE) system given by a continuum limit. We show how the combination of stochastic simulations of the IBM and mathematical analysis of PDEs

can be used to categorise emergent patterns into homogeneous versus heterogeneous, stationary versus perpetually-fluctuating and aggregation versus segregation. In doing so, we develop techniques for understanding spatial bifurcations in stochastic IBMs, grounded in mathematical analysis. Finally, we demonstrate through a simple example how the interplay between environmental features and between-population stigmergent interactions can give rise to predicted spatial distributions that are quite different to those predicted purely by accounting for environmental covariates.

description: We introduce quantum history states and their mathematical framework, thereby reinterpreting and extending the consistent histories approach to quantum theory. Through thought experiments, we demonstrate that our formalism allows us to analyze a quantum version of history in which we reconstruct the past by observations. In particular, we can pass from measurements to inferences about "what happened" in a way that is sensible and free of paradox. Our framework allows for a richer understanding of the temporal structure of quantum theory, and we construct history states that embody peculiar, non-classical correlations in time.

description: Background Research ethics guidelines and emphasis on representation in research guide the inclusion of marginalized groups, including people with perinatal opioid use disorders (OUD) and people experiencing incarceration in the United States. However, insights from participants regarding the risks and benefits of participation are not adequately considered. The aim of this study was to examine the risks and benefits of research participation from the perspective of pregnant/postpartum people with OUD who have experienced incarceration. Design We recruited people who had experience with perinatal incarceration and were either currently pregnant or postpartum, and at least 18 years old. All participants met the clinical criteria for OUD. Our study did not have exclusion criteria based on gender, race, or ethnicity. Setting Participants were either currently incarcerated at the North Carolina Correctional Institute for Women in Raleigh, North Carolina, United States or had previously experienced perinatal incarceration and were recruited from a perinatal substance use disorder treatment program located in North Carolina. Participants Between 9/2021-4/2022, we completed 12 interviews with pregnant/postpartum people with OUD, approximately half who were currently incarcerated and half with a recent history of perinatal incarceration. Intervention/measurement Interviews were conducted via Webex phone or video. The interviews followed a scripted interview guide and lasted one hour on average. Interview transcripts were analyzed using the Rigorous and Accelerated Data Reduction technique to produce an overarching thematic framework. Findings Our analysis identified benefits, including the personal advantage of self-expression, helping others and contributing to change, and financial incentives. Risks included stigma and breach of confidentiality, misunderstanding of the distinction between research and advocacy, and limited ability to share their whole experience. Conclusions Participant-identified benefits of research mirrored those from other marginalized populations, though participant-identified risks were novel and nuanced. Recruitment and consent should move beyond normative research ethics committees protocol language to consider the perspectives of participants.

description: $W$-type entangled states can be used as quantum channels for, e.g., quantum teleportation, quantum dense coding, and quantum key distribution. In this work, we propose a way to generate a macroscopic $W$-type entangled coherent state using quantum memories in circuit QED. The memories considered here are nitrogen-vacancy center ensembles (NVEs), each located in a different cavity. This proposal does not require initially preparing each NVE in a coherent state instead of a ground state, which should significantly reduce its experimental difficulty. For most of the operation time, each cavity remains in a vacuum state, thus decoherence caused by the cavity decay and the unwanted inter-cavity crosstalk are greatly suppressed. Moreover, only one external-cavity coupler qubit is needed. This method is quite general and can be applied to generate the proposed $W$ state with atomic ensembles or other spin ensembles distributed in different cavities.

description: Given a sequence of independent random variables with a common continuous distribution, we consider the online decision problem where one seeks to minimize the expected value of the time that is needed to complete the selection of a monotone increasing subsequence of a prespecified length $n$. This problem is dual to some online decision problems that have been considered earlier, and this dual problem has some notable advantages. In particular, the recursions and equations of optimality lead with relative ease to asymptotic formulas for mean and variance of the minimal selection time.
