description: Esta revisión de alcance, centrada en identificar las repercusiones de la apnea obstructiva del sueño en la función cognitiva en adultos, agrega conocimiento significativo a nivel global sobre este tema, al cubrir un vacío en la literatura. Si bien es común encontrar descripciones de las consecuencias cardiovasculares, es menos frecuente encontrar análisis detallados sobre las consecuencias neurocognitivas de la misma. El presente documento ayudará a identificar y sintetizar las investigaciones existentes, proporcionando una visión general de los estudios disponibles y precisando las lagunas en el conocimiento y aquellas áreas que requieren mayor profundización. Esto a su vez, permitirá orientar investigaciones venideras, en especial el planteamiento de revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura acerca de las relaciones y/o asociaciones encontradas entre la AOS y otros factores.

Tinkering with Care Navigation: Designing Public Health Programs to Respond to Moving Contexts

description: Patient navigators have emerged as key actors in mitigating health disparities in part due to expanding support in public health and increased federal support. Patient navigation is a health intervention designed to bridge access issues, integrate disjointed health systems, and ease structural inequalities for complex illnesses, namely cancer. Through an analysis of professional definitions, policy documents, and the perspectives of care navigators, this thesis explores how the patient navigation model is both a response to and a symptom of systemic inequities (Hunleth and Steinmetz 2022; Colvin and Swartz 2015). This thesis explores patient navigation by interrogating its evolving definitions and the active practices that shape it, revealing that attempts to singularly define navigation fail to capture its dynamic and relational nature. Instead, navigation is better understood as an iterative process shaped by social actors who actively refine their approaches to bridge structural gaps in healthcare.Based on eight months of participant observation at a housing shelter in the US Midwest and interviews with public health professionals engaged in the active process of designing, implementing, and altering navigation pathways to cervical cancer screening for people experiencing homelessness, this study assesses care navigation in practice. Drawing on Henrik Vigh’s theory of navigation as movement within unstable environments (2009), I argue that public health professionals adapt their patient navigation strategies in response to changing conditions. I incorporate the concept of "tinkering"—an ongoing, responsive process of modifying existing structures, resources, models, and practices (Mol, Moser, and Pols 2010)—to highlight how these meso-level professionals actively adjust healthcare models to meet patient and organizational needs. By approaching patient navigation as a tinkering process, this thesis expands existing literature on navigation by examining the more granular actions, or shadow work, that people enact in response to or in anticipation of moving social formations. My focus on navigation as tinkering reveals efforts that remain unseen within dominant political and public health discourse. Care navigation in practice represents an adaptive strategy for designing community-based health programs, making abstract care models fit specific social realities, and working toward health justice through times of uncertainty.

title: Raw data for broadband wavelength-to-time mapping (Fig. 4)
Creators: name: Thomson, Robert R
Publisher: name: Heriot-Watt University
Year: 2016

description: Broadband wavelength-to-time mapping

For broadband wavelength-to-time measurements, the supercontinuum was spectrally narrowed to within the 500 nm to 600 nm range using short and long pass filters. Wavelength-to-time mapped spectra were then obtained in two ways, one measurement with and one measurement without a rotating diffuser plate. The wavelength-to-time calibration was performed by recording the arrival time of spectrally narrow pulses within the 500nm to 600nm region. By fitting a 4th order polynomial to these arrival times, we obtained a set of equations for each core-SPAD combination that could be used to convert arrival time into wavelength for the broadband measurements. The spectrum of the light entering the photonic lantern (USB2000_Broadband_Measurement) was also recorded with a conventional spectrometer (USB2000 - Ocean Optics).

For the measurement without the diffuser plate (TCSPC_Broadband_No_Diffuser), the supercontinuum was focused directly into the multimode end of the photonic lantern. When injecting the light into the photonic lantern in this manner, it was observed that each core at the end of the 290 m long multicore emitted light with very different spectra; the result of wavelength dependent coupling in the multimode end of the photonic lantern.

For the second measurement(TCSPC_Broadband_With_Diffuser) a rotating diffuser plate was inserted into the beam path before the multimode end of the multicore fibre. The diffuser plate ensured that all modes in the multimode end of the photonic lantern were equally excited in a time-averaged manner.

For both TCSPC_Broadband_No_Diffuser and TCSPC_Broadband_With_Diffuser, the data consists of a 1024 x 1024 matrix with columns representing pixel number and row representing time bin. To convert time bin into time(s), multiply bin number with the resolution, 53ps e.g. bin number 100 = 100x53e-12s.

To process the TCSPC data, all the hot pixels (TCSPC_Hot pixels) should be set to 0.

description: This paper introduces CURLoRA, a novel approach to fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) that leverages CUR matrix decomposition in the context of Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). Our method addresses two critical challenges in LLM fine-tuning: mitigating catastrophic forgetting during continual learning and reducing the number of trainable parameters. We propose a unique modification to the CUR decomposition process, utilizing inverted probabilities for column and row selection which acts as an implicit regularization, and initializing the $U$ matrix as a zero matrix, and only fine-tuning it. We demonstrate through experiments on multiple datasets that CURLoRA outperforms standard LoRA in mitigating catastrophic forgetting. It maintains model stability and performance across tasks while significantly reducing the number of trainable parameters. Our results show that CURLoRA achieves very good and stable task accuracy while maintaining base model's perplexity scores fixed compared to LoRA upon continual fine-tuning, particularly in scenarios with limited data.

description: Virus-cell interactions represent a complex multiscale and multiphysics problem, requiring the integration of fluid dynamics, deformation physics, and adhesion forces within a coupled fluid-solid domain. Traditional fluid-solid interaction models often assume rigid particles, which is inadequate for capturing the significant deformations exhibited by biological entities like viruses and cells. This research aims to develop a robust numerical framework capable of accurately simulating virus-cell interactions in a three-dimensional multiphase fluid environment. To ensure reliability, we have implemented and validated various computational algorithms, including the tridiagonal matrix algorithm, conjugate gradient method, biconjugate gradient method, and biconjugate gradient stabilized method, on benchmark problems such as 1D/2D unsteady heat conduction, Burger’s equation, and the Taylor vortex problem. These efforts establish a reliable foundation for extending our framework to biological systems. A key objective is bridging macroscale phenomena with microscale protein-protein interactions through machine learning-assisted molecular simulations, enhancing the model’s predictive accuracy. Future work will focus on extending the model to 3D, incorporating multiphase flow dynamics, and integrating realistic biological boundary conditions such as cell membrane properties and viral adhesion dynamics. Additionally, we aim to optimize computational efficiency for large-scale simulations and validate our results against experimental and biological data which will ensure real-world relevance. This research advances biomechanical modeling, offering insights into virus transmission, and targeted drug delivery, with broad implications for virology and biomedical engineering.

description: Purpose: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has progressed in its ability and has seen explosive growth in adoption. However, the consumer's perspective on its use, particularly in specific scenarios such as financial advice, is unclear. This research develops a model of how to build trust in the advice given by GenAI when answering financial questions. Design/methodology/approach: The model is tested with survey data using structural equation modelling (SEM) and multi-group analysis (MGA). The MGA compares two scenarios, one where the consumer makes a specific question and one where a vague question is made. Findings: This research identifies that building trust for consumers is different when they ask a specific financial question in comparison to a vague one. Humanness has a different effect in the two scenarios. When a financial question is specific, human-like interaction does not strengthen trust, while (1) when a question is vague, humanness builds trust. The four ways to build trust in both scenarios are (2) human oversight and being in the loop, (3) transparency and control, (4) accuracy and usefulness and finally (5) ease of use and support. Originality/value: This research contributes to a better understanding of the consumer's perspective when using GenAI for financial questions and highlights the importance of understanding GenAI in specific contexts from specific stakeholders.

Publisher: name: Heriot-Watt University

description: Calibration for wavelength-to-time mapping experiment.

In order to calibrate the wavelength to time mapping (WTM), the tunable Fabry-PÈrot filter was tuned to different wavelengths in the 500nm to 600m region. For each position of the filter a spectrum with a conventional spectrometer (USB2000 - Ocean Optics) and the 290m long multicore fibre with the photonics lantern attached to it were recorded (USB2000_calibration_(wavelength)).

The arrival times for different wavelengths for each core-pixel combination was recorded (TCSPC_Calibration_(wavelength)) and a 4th order polynomial was fitted to the data. The equations of these fits was used to convert the arrival times into wavelengths for the broadband WTM measurement in the 500nm-600nm region.

The arrival times of different wavelengths for the centre core, the core with highest and lowest group velocities is given in Arrival time(fig 3b).

For all TCSPC data files, the file consists of a 1024 x 1024 matrix with columns representing pixel number and row representing time bin. To convert time bin into time(s), multiply bin number with the resolution, 53ps e.g. bin number 100 = 100x53e-12s.

To process the TCSPC data, all the hot pixels (TCSPC_Hot pixels) should be set to 0.

description: Centralized Training for Decentralized Execution where agents are trained offline in a centralized fashion and execute online in a decentralized manner, has become a popular approach in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL). In particular, it has become popular to develop actor-critic methods that train decentralized actors with a centralized critic where the centralized critic is allowed access global information of the entire system, including the true system state. Such centralized critics are possible given offline information and are not used for online execution. While these methods perform well in a number of domains and have become a de facto standard in MARL, using a centralized critic in this context has yet to be sufficiently analyzed theoretically or empirically. In this paper, we therefore formally analyze centralized and decentralized critic approaches, and analyze the effect of using state-based critics in partially observable environments. We derive theories contrary to the common intuition: critic centralization is not strictly beneficial, and using state values can be harmful. We further prove that, in particular, state-based critics can introduce unexpected bias and variance compared to history-based critics. Finally, we demonstrate how the theory applies in practice by comparing different forms of critics on a wide range of common multi-agent benchmarks. The experiments show practical issues such as the difficulty of representation learning with partial observability, which highlights why the theoretical problems are often overlooked in the literature.

description: In a conventional ABE fermentation, solvent concentrations are limited to 2 % (w/w) due to severe product inhibition. This leads to limited carbohydrate concentrations in the feed and a high energy consumption in the distillation section of the plant. An alleviation of product inhibition can be achieved by complementing the fermentation process with in situ product recovery (ISPR) technology. This presentation focuses on the use of organophilic pervaporation directly coupled to clostridial fermentations.   Major benefits of PDMS composite pervaporation membranes were experimentally demonstrated on lab-scale for long-term continuous fermentations: an increased volumetric productivity (up to 1.13 g/L.h), solvent enrichment in the permeate (up to 200 g.kg-1) and an increased carbohydrate concentration (up to 15 % w/w) in the feed. The robustness of the technology was convincingly demonstrated by operating the integrated system during 654h at (total) membrane fluxes of ~0.6 kg.m-2.h-1 without any sign of membrane fouling. The separation factors and long-term fluxes of several organophilic pervaporation membranes were tested in the integrated set-up as well. The flux and separation factor for PTMSP composite membranes decreased quickly when in contact with the fermentation broth. Evaluation of another type of composite pervaporation membrane lead to promising flux improvements in comparison with PDMS composite pervaporation membranes and similar separation factors. This type of pervaporation membrane was tested during prolonged periods of time without a sign of fouling.  Based on the experimental results, a continuous process integrated with organophilic pervaporation was conceptually designed and compared with a base-case for production of 99.75% (w/w) butanol. Rigorous calculations using chemcad as simulation software indicated energy savings of 47.4% for the plant integrated with organophilic pervaporation compared to the conventional biobutanol plant.

description: RESUMO

 

As Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTIs) são ambientes onde o monitoramento e os cuidados permanentes médicos e multidisciplinares são necessários para a melhora do estado geral do paciente. Devido escassez de dados na literatura relacionada ao atendimento odontológico em pacientes infanto-juvenis, que são submetidos à abordagem odontológica em uma unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) de hospitais do sistema Único de saúde (SUS), essa pesquisa tem o objetivo relatar as manifestações bucais presentes nesses pacientes e a abordagem odontológica realizada. Trata-se de uma pesquisa observacional e transversal, através de resgates de prontuários, que analisa dados relacionados ao perfil clínico odontológico de 197 pacientes com idades 0 a 17 anos atendidos pela equipe odontológica da UTI pediátrica, no período de junho de 2017 a junho de 2018. Os dados analisados consistiram na idade, sexo, diagnóstico clínico, diagnóstico bucal, conduta odontológica, tipo de ventilação e nutrição. Houve maior número de internações de pacientes do sexo masculino (54,3%). Em relação ao tipo de ventilação verificou-se que 43,1% encontravam-se em ventilação por ar ambiente, as maiores incidências de alterações bucais foram observadas em pacientes maiores de 10 anos. Constatou-se que pacientes infanto-juvenis internos em UTI podem apresentar manifestações bucais desde o momento da admissão, e a presença do Cirurgião-Dentista trata e previne essas alterações, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes internos e diminuindo o tempo de internação.

description: We propose a unified framework where spacetime curvature regulates the decoherence of the quantum vacuum state, naturally giving rise to gravity, classical spacetime, and quantum probabilities (the Born rule).

Using a logistic curvature filter, derived from local curvature invariants, our model emerges from general relativity and quantum field theory without new fields or modified actions. It significantly reduces the fine-tuning required for the cosmological constant problem, eliminates black hole and cosmological singularities, explains cosmic acceleration, and derives the Born rule dynamically.

Testable predictions include a coherence collapse in the cosmic microwave background at multipoles ~ 4000, supported by Planck data, and polarization decoherence near black holes, consistent with M87* observations. This minimal, observationally grounded approach offers a predictive path to unify quantum mechanics, gravity, and classicality, accessible to near-future experiments.

description: The Tunisian DOI Consortium, spearheaded by CNUDST, unites Tunisian institutions to collectively leverage DataCite's open infrastructures. Our primary goal is to foster a sustainable national community that effectively utilises DataCite's open infrastructure to enhance the adoption and implementation of DOIs across Tunisia.

This presentation showcases how the consortium uses DataCite's infrastructure to boost the visibility and accessibility of Tunisian research outputs. We demonstrate how DataCite's metadata schema connects research with key entities like researchers (via ORCID), institutions (via ROR), and funders, through Persistent Identifiers (PIDs).Managed via platforms like Fabrica and explored through tools like DataCite Commons, this interconnected metadata enhances discoverability and interoperability, illustrating how DOIs link Tunisian research to the global scholarly landscape. DataCite API, gives opportunities to automate registering DOIs within local repositories like the national repository (PIST.TN) and Tunisian eJournal platforms.By embracing DataCite's services and standards, the Tunisian DOI Consortium is making Tunisian research more findable, accessible, and integrated within the global research ecosystem, thereby amplifying its impact and reach.

description: In the digital era, making research easily discoverable and accessible cannot be overstated. In this context, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system has emerged as a global persistent identifiers (PIDs) standard for identifying and linking digital content. However, many institutions in Tunisia, as well as institutions in other developing countries, have been slow to adopt this system due to various challenges.

Building a local community is therefore essential to deal with the adoption of PIDs, including DOIs. A strong, collaborative network should facilitate the sharing of knowledge, resources, and best practices, ensuring that all stakeholders are well-informed and engaged. This community-driven approach not only promotes the widespread use of DOIs but also fosters innovation and efficiency in managing digital resources.

description: The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has raised significant concerns regarding their security vulnerabilities. This paper explores the security risks associated with smart light systems, focusing on covert communication channels. Drawing upon previous re-search highlighting vulnerabilities in communication protocols and en-cryption flaws, the study investigates the potential for exploiting smart light systems for covert data transmission. Specifically, the paper repli-cates and analyzes an attack method introduced by Ronen and Shamir, which utilizes the Philips Hue White lighting system to create a covert channel through visible light communication (VLC). Experimental re-sults demonstrate the feasibility of transmitting data covertly through subtle variations in brightness levels, leveraging the inherent functional-ity of smart light bulbs. Despite limit. ations imposed by device constraints and communication protocols, the study underscores the need for heightened awareness and security measures in IoT environment. Ultimately, the findings emphasize the importance of implementing robust security practices and exercising caution when deploying networked IoT devices in sensitive environment.

description: The market for functional foods is relatively young and growing, mainly due to increased consumer awareness of the importance of nutrition for human health. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that help to reduce the risk of heart disease and maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. The production of omega-3 fatty acid-enriched eggs requires a modification of the poultry feed, which usually involves the addition of fish and/or flaxseed oil and flaxseed. The aim of this study was to use the Health Belief Model (HBM) to determine the factors influencing the willingness to consume omega-3 enriched eggs. The data was collected from 159 respondents (egg purchasers) using a validated questionnaire. Multiple linear regression in the SPSS statistical package was used to analyse the relationships between the HBM constructs. The results showed that perceived benefits, severity, cue to action and self-efficacy had a significant impact on the willingness to use omega-3 enriched eggs. However, perceived barriers, health motivation and perceived susceptibility had no effect on willingness to use omega-3 enriched eggs. Promoting omega-3 enriched eggs by doctors and as tasty, easy available and beneficial for heart health is likely to trigger the willingness to use omega-3 enriched eggs

description: This paper explores the potential of generative AI within interactive art, employing a practice-based research approach. It presents the interactive artwork "Visions of Destruction" as a detailed case study, highlighting its innovative use of generative AI to create a dynamic, audience-responsive experience. This artwork applies gaze-based interaction to dynamically alter digital landscapes, symbolizing the impact of human activities on the environment by generating contemporary collages created with AI, trained on data about human damage to nature, and guided by audience interaction. The transformation of pristine natural scenes into human-made and industrialized landscapes through viewer interaction serves as a stark reminder of environmental degradation. The paper thoroughly explores the technical challenges and artistic innovations involved in creating such an interactive art installation, emphasizing the potential of generative AI to revolutionize artistic expression, audience engagement, and especially the opportunities for the interactive art field. It offers insights into the conceptual framework behind the artwork, aiming to evoke a deeper understanding and reflection on the Anthropocene era and human-induced climate change. This study contributes significantly to the field of creative AI and interactive art, blending technology and environmental consciousness in a compelling, thought-provoking manner.

description: We present the design and first results of the Inner Circumgalactic Medium (CGM) of QSO Line of Sight Emitting galaxies at $z\sim 2-3$, KBSS-InCLOSE. The survey will connect galaxy properties (e.g., stellar mass $M_*$, interstellar medium ISM metallicity) with the physical conditions of the inner CGM (e.g., kinematics, metallicity) to directly observe the galaxy-scale baryon cycle. We obtain deep Keck/KCWI optical IFU pointings of Keck Baryonic Structure Survey (KBSS) QSOs to discover new star-forming galaxies at small projected distances $b\lesssim12"$ (98 kpc, $\overline{z}=2.3$), then obtain follow-up Keck/MOSFIRE NIR spectra to confirm their redshifts. We leverage KBSS images and Keck/HIRES QSO spectra to model stellar populations and inner CGM absorption. In this paper, we analyze two QSO fields and discover more than 15 new galaxies with KCWI, then use MOSFIRE for two galaxies Q2343-G1 ($z=2.43$; G1) and Q2233-N1 ($z=3.15$; N1), which are both associated with Damped Lyman Alpha absorbers. We find that G1 has typical $M_*$,UV/optical emission properties. N1 has lower $M_*$ with very strong nebular emission. We jointly analyze neutral phase CGM and ionized ISM in N/O (for the first time at this $z$), dust extinction, and high-ionization CGM finding that: G1's CGM is metal poor and less evolved than its ISM, while N1's CGM and ISM abundances are comparable; their CGM shows $\sim1$ dex less dust extinction than the ISM; and G1's CGM has direct evidence of hot, metal-rich galactic outflow ejecta. These findings support that metals and dust are driven into the CGM from outflows, but may also be e.g., stripped ISM gas or satellite enrichment. The full KBSS-InCLOSE sample will explore these scenarios.

description: A stable dynamic pricing scheme is essential to guarantee the desired performance of high-occupancy-toll (HOT) lanes, where single-occupancy vehicles (SOVs) can pay a price to use the HOT lanes. But existing methods apply to either only one type of lane-choice models with unknown parameters or different types of lane-choice models but with known parameters. In this study we present a new dynamic pricing scheme that is stable and applies to different types of lane-choice models with unknown parameters. There are two operational objectives for operating HOT lanes: (i) to maintain the free-flow condition to guarantee the travel time reliability; and (ii) to maximize the HOT lanes' throughput to minimize the system's total delay. The traffic dynamics on both HOT and general purpose (GP) lanes are described by point queue models, where the queueing times are determined by the demands and capacities. We consider three types of lane-choice models: the multinomial logit model when SOVs share the same value of time, the vehicle-based user equilibrium model when SOVs' values of time are heterogeneous and follow a distribution, and a general lane-choice model. We demonstrate that the second objective is approximately equivalent to the social welfare optimization principle for the logit model. Observing that the dynamic price and the excess queueing time on the GP lanes are linearly correlated in all the lane-choice models, we propose a feedback control method to determine the dynamic prices based on two integral controllers. We further present a method to estimate the parameters of a lane-choice model once its type is known. Analytically we prove that the equilibrium state of the closed-loop system with constant demand patterns is ideal, since the two objectives are achieved in it, and that it is asymptotically stable. With numerical examples we verify the effectiveness of the solution method.

description: In the present work, we describe a new fossil family of Apoidea supported by phylogenetic analyses involving both fossil and extant groups. †Burmasphecidae fam.n. is based on †Burmasphex Melo & Rosa, a genus described from Burmese amber. We include in this family the monotypic genus †Decasphex Zheng, Zhang & Rasnitsyn also from Burmese amber. Additionally, we describe two new genera and four new species in †Burmasphecidae fam.n.: †Burmasphex mirabilis sp.n.; †Simplisphex gen.n., containing S. scutellatus sp.n. and †S. burmensis sp.n.; and †Callisphex robustus gen. et sp.n. In our phylogenetic study, we extended a pre-existing matrix of morphological data and analyzed it under parsimony and Bayesian inference. In the Bayesian inference analyses, the morphological dataset was partitioned under a homoplasy criterion. We postulate the first phylogenetic hypotheses for the placement of †Angarosphecidae based on the type species, †Angarosphex myrmicopterus Rasnitsyn, plus a new Burmese amber taxon, †A. alethes sp.n. We demonstrate that †Burmasphecidae fam.n. clearly belongs to Apoidea and has a sister relationship with the other representatives of the superfamily. Our results indicate that †Burmasphecidae fam.n. and †Angarosphecidae are distinct lineages, with the second more derived than the first. We discuss the phylogenetic relationships of these fossil lineages with extant groups of both Apoidea and other Aculeata, and present for the first time morphological evidence supporting the clade Formicidae + Apoidea. Finally, we indicate some considerations about the paleoenvironment and the nature of the Burmese amber biota, suggesting an alternative hypothesis to the island endemism described in previous works.

Year: 2016

description: Il presente contributo intende offrire una sintesi degli studi più recenti dedicati al Foscolo “inglese”, vale a dire alla ricca e multiforme messe di scritti letterari e critici affrontati dal poeta negli anni dell’esilio oltremanica. Il periodo tardo della produzione foscoliana è stato a lungo trascurato e presenta numerosi aspetti di specificità e problematicità, a livello sia documentario sia interpretativo. Particolare attenzione sarà prestata agli scritti su Dante, grazie anche all’opportunità di recensire il volume di Davide Colombo Foscolo e i commentatori danteschi.

Aim of this article is an overview of recent essays on the English works of Ugo Foscolo, which include numerous and many-sided literary and critic writings composed by the poet during his exile years in England. This late period of Foscolo’s activity has been greatly neglected and it is characterized by peculiarities and difficulties, both in terms of surviving documents and interpretation. We intend to look specifically into Foscolo’s works on Dante, also thanks to the opportunity to review Davide Colombo’s essay on Foscolo e i commentatori danteschi.
