description: When community health workers (CHWs) are effective, they can teach healthy child rearing practices in their communities and improve child health and development outcomes. An effective mHealth tool can improve the capacity of CHWs to transmit knowledge to caregivers. This article evaluates the implementation of an mHealth tool in a CHW program in the Amazon of Peru. The intervention was designed, implemented, and evaluated with the guidance of multiple implementation science tools. A Hybrid Type 3 evaluation design was used to test the effectiveness of the implementation strategies and appropriateness of the intervention. The implementation outcomes: acceptability, adoption, dosage, and fidelity were analyzed with mixed methods approach to determine if the intervention was successfully installed in the CHW program. The service outcome, knowledge scores, was analyzed with an independent samples t-test and one way ANOVA to determine the effect of the program. The implementation strategies resulted in high degrees of acceptability, adoption, and fidelity of the mHealth tool. The surveillance component of the mHealth tools was not adequately adopted. The group of caregivers that received home visits with the mHealth tool (N = 48) had significantly higher knowledge scores (+1.26 standard deviations) than those in the control group (N = 138) (t(184) = -4.39, p<0.001). The COVID-19 pandemic significantly decreased the dosage of the intervention received by the participants. The CHEST App intervention is a promising tool to improve the capacity of CHWs during their home visits. Trial registered with ISRCTN on 11/29/2018 at https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN43591826.

description: The Mg II 2796, 2803 doublet has been suggested to be a useful indirect indicator for the escape of Ly-alpha and Lyman continuum (LyC) photons in local star-forming galaxies. However, studies to date have focused on small samples of galaxies with strong Mg II or strong LyC emission. Here we present the first study of Mg II probing a large dynamic range of galaxy properties, using newly obtained high signal-to-noise, moderate-resolution spectra of Mg II for a sample of 34 galaxies selected from the Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey. We show that the galaxies in our sample have Mg II profiles ranging from strong emission to P-Cygni profiles, and to pure absorption. We find there is a significant trend (with a possibility of spurious correlations of ~ 2%) that galaxies detected as strong LyC Emitters (LCEs) also show larger equivalent widths of Mg II emission, and non-LCEs tend to show evidence of more scattering and absorption features in Mg II We then find Mg II strongly correlates with Ly-alpha in both equivalent width and escape fraction, regardless of whether the emission or absorption dominates the Mg II profiles. Furthermore, we present that, for galaxies categorized as Mg II emitters (MgE), one can adopt the information of Mg II, metallicity, and dust to estimate the escape fraction of LyC within a factor of 3. These findings confirm that Mg II lines can be used as a tool to select galaxies as LCEs and to serve as an indirect indicator for the escape of Ly-alpha and LyC.

description: Electrical analogy (Lumped method) is an easy way to model human cardiovascular system. In this paper Lumped method is used for simulating a complete model. It describes a 36-vessel model and cardiac system of human body with details that could show hydrodynamic parameters of cardiovascular system. Also this paper includes modeling of pulmonary, atrium, left and right ventricles with their equivalent circuits. Exact modeling of right and left ventricles pressure increases the accuracy of our simulation. In this paper we show that a calculated pressure for aorta from our complex circuit is near to measured pressure by using advanced medical instruments.

description: In recent years, lepton flavour violating (LFV) decays are one of the most trending topics to probe new physics (NP). The latest results of LHCb have motivated us to study the LFV decays through b to s transition. The branching ratios, forward backward asymmetries and longitudinal polarization fractions of B(B_s) to K^* ({phi})l_1 l_2 decays are studied in non-universal Z^' model. Here, we have structured the four-fold angular distribution of the decays in terms of transversity amplitudes. The variation of the observables in whole kinematic region shows the sensitivity of NP. The observables estimated in this work are very intriguing and might lead a new track towards NP in near future.

description: The objective of this study is to examine associations between state-level breastfeeding support and breastfeeding practices, controlling for women’s status, in the U.S. We used publicly available data on state-level breastfeeding practices and support (international board-certified lactation consultants (IBCLC), births in Baby-Friendly hospitals, and La Leche League Leaders) for births in 2015 from the CDC Breastfeeding Report Card (2018) and other CDC reported data, and indicators of women’s status from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research reports (2015). We conducted an ecological study to estimate incidence rate ratios of exclusive breastfeeding at six months and breastfeeding at 12 months with breastfeeding supports using bivariate and multivariable Poisson regression. Political participation, poverty, and employment and earnings were associated with breastfeeding practices, as was each breastfeeding support in bivariate analyses. After controlling for women’s status, only IBCLCs were positively associated with rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months and continued breastfeeding at 12 months. For every additional IBCLC per 1000 live births, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months increased by 5 percent (95% CI 1.03, 1.07) and the rate of breastfeeding at 12 months increased by 4 percent (95% CI 1.02, 1.06). Political participation, poverty, and employment and earnings were associated with breastfeeding practices, indicating a relationship between women’s political and economic status and their breastfeeding practices in the U.S. Given the influence of women’s status, increasing the number of IBCLCs may improve breastfeeding practices.

description: The Pixel Detector of the ATLAS experiment has shown excellent performance during the whole Run-1 of LHC. Taking advantage of the long shutdown, the detector was extracted from the experiment and brought to surface, to equip it with new service quarter panels, to repair the modules and to ease installation of the Insertable B-Layer (IBL). The IBL is a fourth layer of pixel detectors, and has been installed in May 2014 between the existing Pixel Detector and a new smaller radius beam-pipe at a radius of 3.3 cm. To cope with the high radiation and pixel occupancy due to the proximity to the interaction point, a new read-out chip and two different silicon sensor technologies (planar and 3D) have been developed. Furthermore, the physics performance will be improved through the reduction of pixel size while, targeting for a low material budget, a new mechanical support using light weight staves and CO2 based cooling system have been adopted. An overview of the refurbishing of the Pixel Detector and the IBL project as well as the experience in its construction will be presented, focusing on adopted technologies, module and stave production, qualification of assembly procedure, integration of staves around the beam pipe and commissioning of the detector.

description: Time-series analysis is fundamental for modeling and predicting dynamical behaviors from time-ordered data, with applications in many disciplines such as physics, biology, finance, and engineering. Measured time-series data, however, are often low dimensional or even univariate, thus requiring embedding methods to reconstruct the original system's state space. The observability of a system establishes fundamental conditions under which such reconstruction is possible. However, complete observability is too restrictive in applications where reconstructing the entire state space is not necessary and only a specific subspace is relevant. Here, we establish the theoretic condition to reconstruct a nonlinear functional of state variables from measurement processes, generalizing the concept of functional observability to nonlinear systems. When the functional observability condition holds, we show how to construct a map from the embedding space to the desired functional of state variables, characterizing the quality of such reconstruction. The theoretical results are then illustrated numerically using chaotic systems with contrasting observability properties. By exploring the presence of functionally unobservable regions in embedded attractors, we also apply our theory for the early warning of seizure-like events in simulated and empirical data. The studies demonstrate that the proposed functional observability condition can be assessed a priori to guide time-series analysis and experimental design for the dynamical characterization of complex systems.

description: Energy efficiency has gained its significance when service providers' operational costs burden with the rapidly growing data traffic demand in cellular networks. In this paper, we propose an energy efficiency model for Poisson-Voronoi tessellation (PVT) cellular networks considering spatial distributions of traffic load and power consumption. The spatial distributions of traffic load and power consumption are derived for a typical PVT cell, and can be directly extended to the whole PVT cellular network based on the Palm theory. Furthermore, the energy efficiency of PVT cellular networks is evaluated by taking into account traffic load characteristics, wireless channel effects and interference. Both numerical and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the energy efficiency model in PVT cellular networks. These simulation results demonstrate that there exist maximal limits for energy efficiency in PVT cellular networks for given wireless channel conditions and user intensity in a cell.

description: Selective robotic harvesting is a promising technological solution to address labour shortages which are affecting modern agriculture in many parts of the world. For an accurate and efficient picking process, a robotic harvester requires the precise location and orientation of the fruit to effectively plan the trajectory of the end effector. The current methods for estimating fruit orientation employ either complete 3D information which typically requires registration from multiple views or rely on fully-supervised learning techniques, which require difficult-to-obtain manual annotation of the reference orientation. In this paper, we introduce a novel key-point-based fruit orientation estimation method allowing for the prediction of 3D orientation from 2D images directly. The proposed technique can work without full 3D orientation annotations but can also exploit such information for improved accuracy. We evaluate our work on two separate datasets of strawberry images obtained from real-world data collection scenarios. Our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance with an average error as low as $8^{\circ}$, improving predictions by $\sim30\%$ compared to previous work presented in~\cite{wagner2021efficient}. Furthermore, our method is suited for real-time robotic applications with fast inference times of $\sim30$ms.

description: Nucleotide excision repair is the primary repair mechanism that removes UV-induced DNA lesions in placentals. Unrepaired UV-induced lesions could result in mutations during DNA replication. Although the mutagenesis of pyrimidine dimers is reasonably well understood, the direct effects of replication fork progression on nucleotide excision repair are yet to be clarified. Here, we applied Damage-seq and XR-seq techniques and generated replication maps in synchronized UV-treated HeLa cells. The results suggest that ongoing replication stimulates local repair in both early and late replication domains. Additionally, it was revealed that lesions on lagging strand templates are repaired slower in late replication domains, which is probably due to the imbalanced sequence context. Asymmetric relative repair is in line with the strand bias of melanoma mutations, suggesting a role of exogenous damage, repair, and replication in mutational strand asymmetry.

description: In this paper, we develop a new methodology to provide high assurance about privacy in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS). Our focus lies on vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications enabled by Cooperative Awareness Basic Service. Our research motivation is developed based on the analysis of unlinkability provision methods indicating a gap. To address this, we propose a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) to express unlinkability for the situation where two cars are communicating with a Roadside Unit (RSU) using Cooperative Awareness Messages (CAMs). Our HMM has labeled states specifying distinct origins of the CAMs observable by a passive attacker. We then demonstrate that a high assurance about the degree of uncertainty (e.g., entropy) about labeled states can be obtained for the attacker under the assumption that he knows actual positions of the vehicles (e.g., hidden states in HMM). We further demonstrate how unlinkability can be increased in C-ITS: we propose a joint probability distribution that both drivers must use to obfuscate their actual data jointly. This obfuscated data is then encapsulated in their CAMs. Finally, our findings are incorporated into an obfuscation algorithm whose complexity is linear in the number of discrete time steps in HMM.

description: A model-operator approach to fully relativistic calculations of the nuclear recoil effect on energy levels in many-electron atomic systems is worked out. The one-electron part of the model operator for treating the normal mass shift beyond the Breit approximation is represented by a sum of semilocal and nonlocal potentials. The latter ones are constructed by employing the diagonal and off-diagonal matrix elements rigorously evaluated for hydrogenlike ions to first order in the electron-to-nucleus mass ratio. The specific mass shift beyond the lowest-order relativistic approximation has a form which can be directly employed in calculations. The capabilities of the method are probed by comparison of its predictions with the results of ab initio QED calculations. The proposed operator can be easily incorporated into any relativistic calculation based on the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian.

Reappraisal of COVID-19 Risk for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Withdrawal of the British Society of Gastroenterology IBD Risk Grid

description: Early in the pandemic, there was significant concern about how COVID-19 may impact patients
with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Would IBD, as a chronic immune-mediated condition, be
a risk factor for more severe COVID-19? Would medications used to treat IBD, in particularly
immunosuppressants, increase the likelihood of hospitalization or death due to COVID-19?
However, at the start of the pandemic there was a paucity of data to guide decision making for
patients with IBD. In this setting, many national and international societies issued statements on
management of IBD to provide initial guidance to gastroenterologists and patients with IBD. The
British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) published an IBD risk grid for COVID-19 severity in
April 2020 that proposed a framework for categorizing patients with IBD into those more likely to
be vulnerable to COVID-19 primarily based on co-morbidities and disease characteristics.
Patients deemed at moderate risk were advised to practice stringent social distancing while those
at high risk were recommended to practice “shielding,” the strictest advice for isolating from
others. The authors of the BSG IBD risk grid recently issued a statement withdrawing this
guidance noting a number of factors including that the vast majority of IBD patients are not at
increased risk of adverse COVID-19 outcomes, the reduced severity of disease with recent
variants, and the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

description: Benefits of learning by teaching (LbT) have been highlighted by previous studies from a pedagogical lens, as well as through computer-supported systems. However, the challenges that university students face in technology-mediated LbT$\unicode{x2013}$whether it be teaching oneself, teaching a peer, or teaching an agent$\unicode{x2013}$are not well understood. Furthermore, there is a gap in knowledge on the challenges that students encounter throughout the process of teaching (content selection, preparation, teaching, receiving and giving feedback, and reflection) despite its importance to the design of LbT platforms. Thus, we conducted a study with 24 university students where they taught content they had not fully grasped, without guidance, and participated in a semi-structured interview. Results demonstrate that participants encountered the following challenges: psychological barriers relating to self and others, and lack of know-how. Furthermore, we illuminate design implications required to overcome these challenges and benefit from LbT without requiring prior training in pedagogy.

description: We present a detailed investigation on the evolution of observed net vertical current using a time series of vector magnetograms of the active region (AR) NOAA 11158 obtained from Helioseismic Magnetic Imager. We also discuss the relation of net current to the observed eruptive events. The AR evolved from $βγ$ to $βγδ$ configuration over a period of 6 days. The AR had two sub-regions of activity with opposite chirality: one dominated by sunspot rotation producing a strong CME, the other showing large shear motions producing a strong flare. The net current in each polarity over the CME producing sub-region increased to a maximum and then decreased when the sunspots got separated. The time profile of net current in this sub-region followed the time profile of the rotation rate of the S-polarity sunspot of the same sub-region. The net current in the flaring sub-region showed a sudden increase at the time of the strong flare and remained unchanged till the end of the observation, while the sunspots maintained their close proximity. The systematic evolution of the observed net current is seen to follow the time evolution of total length of strongly sheared polarity inversion lines in both the sub-regions. The observed photospheric net current could be explained as an inevitable product of the emergence of a twisted flux rope, from a higher pressure confinement below the photosphere into the lower pressure environment of the photosphere.

description: Due to condensed development processes, expanding evidence and differences in healthcare system characteristics, many COVID-19 guidelines differ in their quality and treatment recommendations, which has consequences for clinical practice. This review aimed to identify COVID-19 treatment guidelines, assess their quality, and summarise their recommendations. Guidelines were identified for five therapies most commonly used among inpatients with COVID-19 (remdesivir, dexamethasone, tocilizumab, baricitinib, and casirivimab/imdevimab) from 11 countries. Guideline quality was assessed using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II (AGREE-II) tool. Full details of recommendations and supporting evidence were analysed for high-quality guidelines, defined as those scoring ≥50% in Domain 3 (Rigour of Development) of AGREE-II. Overall, guidelines differed substantially in their quality and, even among high-quality guidelines using the same evidence, recommendations regarding specific therapeutics varied. Potential reasons for this heterogeneity, including the availability and consistency of clinical data, visibility of trial endpoints, and context-specific factors, are discussed.

description: In this paper, we investigate complexity of anisotropic cylindrical object under the influence of electromagnetic field in $f(G,T)$ theory, where $G$ and $T$ indicate the Gauss-Bonnet term and trace of the stress-energy tensor, respectively. For this purpose, we calculate the modified field equations, non-conservation equation and mass distributions that assist in comprehending the structure of astrophysical objects. The Riemann tensor is divided into different structure scalars, among which one is called the complexity factor. This factor is used to measure complexity of the system due to the involvement of inhomogeneous energy density, anisotropic pressure and charge. The vanishing of the complexity factor is employed as a constraint to formulate charged static solutions for the Gokhroo-Mehra model and polytropic equation of state. We conclude that the presence of charge reduces the complexity of the anisotropic system.

description: The rapid depletion of fossil fuel resources and environmental concerns has given awareness on generation of renewable energy resources. Among the various renewable resources, hybrid solar and wind energy seems to be promising solutions to provide reliable power supply with improved system efficiency and reduced storage requirements for stand-alone applications. This paper presents a feasibility assessment and optimum size of photovoltaic (PV) array, wind turbine and battery bank for a standalone hybrid Solar/Wind Power system (HSWPS) at remote telecom station of Nepal at Latitude (27°23'50") and Longitude (86°44'23") consisting a telecommunication load of Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), Repeater station and Code Division Multiple Access Base Transceiver Station (CDMA 2C10 BTS). In any RES based system, the feasibility assessment is considered as the first step analysis. In this work, feasibility analysis is carried through hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER) and mathematical models were implemented in the MATLAB environment to perform the optimal configuration for a given load and a desired loss of power supply probability (LPSP) from a set of systems components with the lowest value of cost function defined in terms of reliability and levelized unit electricity cost (LUCE). The simulation results for the existing and the proposed models are compared. The simulation results shows that existing architecture consisting of 6.12 kW KC85T photovoltaic modules, 1kW H3.1 wind turbine and 1600 Ah GFM-800 battery bank have a 36.6% of unmet load during a year. On the other hand, the proposed system includes 1kW *2 H3.1 Wind turbine, 8.05 kW TSM-175DA01 photovoltaic modules and 1125 Ah T-105 battery bank with system reliability of 99.99% with a significant cost reduction as well as reliable energy production.

description: A novel characterization method to measure the pulse duration of ultrafast near-IR pulses is introduced, which uses simple tabletop optics, is relatively inexpensive, and is expected to work in a broad wavelength range. Our diagnostic tool quantitatively characterizes the laser pulse duration of any near-IR wavelength assuming a Gaussian pulse shape with a linear chirp. We negatively prechirp near-IR pulses with a home-built broadband pulse compressor (BPC) and send this prechirped beam through a cell filled with a low-molar solution of a fluorescent dye in a liquid. After two-photon absorption, this dye fluoresces in the visible, and we record this visible signal as a function of the propagation distance in the liquid cell. We calibrate the group velocity dispersion (GVD) of our home-built BPC device against the known GVD of the compressor of our 800 nm laser and confirm this value using geometric considerations. Now knowing the GVD of BPC and the recorded visible signal for various amounts of negative chirp, let us extract the smallest pulse duration of the near-IR pulse from this visible signal. As a useful corollary, our analysis also enables the direct measurement of the GVD for liquids and the indirect measurement of the absorption coefficient for liquids in the near-IR range, in contrast to indirect GVD measurements that rely on methods such as the double derivative of the refractive index.

description: Quantum computers promise to efficiently solve important problems classical computers never will. However, in order to capitalize on these prospects, a fully automated quantum software stack needs to be developed. This involves a multitude of complex tasks from the classical simulation of quantum circuits, over their compilation to specific devices, to the verification of the circuits to be executed as well as the obtained results. All of these tasks are highly non-trivial and necessitate efficient data structures to tackle the inherent complexity. Starting from rather straight-forward arrays over decision diagrams (inspired by the design automation community) to tensor networks and the ZX-calculus, various complementary approaches have been proposed. This work provides a look "under the hood" of today's tools and showcases how these means are utilized in them, e.g., for simulation, compilation, and verification of quantum circuits.

description: We propose the nano-scale displacement sensor with high resolution for weak-force systems could be realized based on vertical stacked two-dimensional (2D) atomic corrugated layer materials bound through Van der Waals (VdW) interaction. Using first-principles calculations, we found the electronic structure of bi-layer blue phosphorus (BLBP) varies appreciably to both the lateral and vertical interlayer displacement. The variation of electronic structure due to the lateral displacement is attributed to the changing of the interlayer distance dz led by atomic layer corrugation, which is in a uniform picture with vertical displacement. Despite different stacking configurations, the change of in-direct band gap is proportional to dz-2. This stacking configuration independent dz-2 law is found also works for other graphene-like corrugated bi-layer materials, for example MoS2. By measuring the tunable electronic structure using absorption spectroscopy, the nano-scale displacement could be detected. BLBP represents a large family of bi-layer 2D atomic corrugated materials for which the electronic structure is sensitive to the interlayer vertical and lateral displacement, thus could be used for nano-scale displacement sensor. Since this kind of sensor is established on atomic layers coupled through VdW interaction, it provides unique applications in measurements of nano-scale displacement induced by tiny external force.

description: Power losses reduction is one of the main targets for any electrical energy distribution company. In this paper, we face the problem of joint optimization of both topology and network parameters in a real smart grid. We consider a portion of the Italian electric distribution network managed by the ACEA Distribuzione S.p.A. located in Rome. We perform both the power factor correction (PFC) for tuning the generators and the distributed feeder reconfiguration (DFR) to set the state of the breakers. This joint optimization problem is faced considering a suitable objective function and by adopting genetic algorithms as global optimization strategy. We analyze admissible network configurations, showing that some of these violate constraints on current and voltage at branches and nodes. Such violations depend only on pure topological properties of the configurations. We perform tests by feeding the simulation environment with real data concerning hourly samples of dissipated and generated active and reactive power values of the ACEA smart grid. Results show that removing the configurations violating the electrical constraints from the solution space leads to interesting improvements in terms of power loss reduction. To conclude, we provide also an electrical interpretation of the phenomenon using graph-based pattern analysis techniques.
