description: For certain conditions of layer thickness, the interface between GdTiO$_3$ (GTO) and SrTiO$_3$ (STO) in multilayer samples has been found to form a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with very interesting properties including high mobilities and ferromagnetism. We have here studied two trilayer samples of the form [2 nm GTO/1.0 or 1.5 unit cells STO/10 nm GTO] as grown on (001) (LaAlO$_3$)$_{0.3}$(Sr$_2$AlTaO$_6$)$_{0.7}$ (LSAT), with the STO layer thicknesses being at what has been suggested is the critical thickness for 2DEG formation. We have studied these with Ti-resonant angle-resolved (ARPES) and angle-integrated photoemission and find that the spectral feature in the spectra associated with the 2DEG is present in the 1.5 unit cell sample, but not in the 1.0 unit cell sample. We also observe through core-level spectra additional states in Ti and Sr, with the strength of a low-binding-energy state for Sr being associated with the appearance of the 2DEG, and we suggest it to have an origin in final-state core-hole screening.

Deconstruction

description: These are the years of the Russian Revolution: the theatrical experiments of the Avant-gardes, developed between Moscow and St Petersburg, overturned the teachings of the past, renewing the principles of spatial composition. The deconstruction of the body and space architectural and urban space is expressed through unconventional systems of representation.
In the costumes for Victory over the Sun (St. Petersburg, 1913) Malevič breaks down bodies and faces in proto-Cubist terms, seeking a synthesis of sign, colour and meaning, drawing on an archaic and symbolic language of representation. archaic and symbolic language of representation, a prelude to a new 'icon'. In the stage sketches, axonometric and perspective, doors thrown open to new spatial, temporal and spiritual dimensions.
The set design of Le Cocu Magnifique (Theatre of Mejerchol'd, Moscow, 1922) is represented by a multifaceted artist, painter, stage designer and designer, who crossed the currents of Cubo-Futurism and Suprematism, arriving at the language constructivist language. In her drawings, Popova transcends the boundaries of the surface and organises forms in interaction with space, prefiguring principles of literal and phenomenal transparency. With the architectural and urban design for The Palace of Labour (Moscow, 1922-23) the Vesnin brothers document, through the drawing, the great gulf between an initial cube-futurist impetus (most probably sketched by Aleksandr) and a rediscovered rigour in the spatial composition by stereometric elements of the final project.
The objective of the essay is twofold: to recognise, not only, the role of drawing in the representation of a new spatiality, experienced through avant-garde theatre and architecture, but also the value of redrawing (from original sketches, sketches, diagrams and original notes…) in revealing the principles of spatial composition of a theatre set design - which no longer exists, except in some photos and preparatory sketches - or of an architectural-urban project, which could never become reality.

description: We present a coarse-grained model for evaluation of interactions of globular proteins with nanoparticles. The protein molecules are represented by one bead per aminoacid and the nanoparticle by a homogeneous sphere that interacts with the aminoacids via a central force that depends on the nanoparticle size. The proposed methodology is used to predict the adsorption energies for six common human blood plasma proteins on hydrophobic charged or neutral nanoparticles of different sizes as well as the preferred orientation of the molecules upon adsorption. Our approach allows one to rank the proteins by their binding affinity to the nanoparticle, which can be used for predicting the composition of the NP-protein corona. The predicted ranking is in good agreement with known experimental data for protein adsorption on surfaces.

description: The cost of pregnancy is hard to study in marine mammals, particularly in species that undergo pregnancy while diving continuously at sea such as elephant seals (genus Mirounga). We analysed the diving behaviour of confirmed pregnant and non-pregnant northern elephant seals (M. angustirostris, n = 172) and showed that after an initial continuous increase in dive duration, dives of pregnant females become shorter after week 17. The reasons for this reduction in dive duration remain unknown, but we hypothesize that increased fetal demand for oxygen could be the cause. Our findings reveal an opportunity to explore the use of biologging data to investigate pregnancy status of free-ranging marine mammals and factors that could affect pregnancy success.

description: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) drug assistance programs (ADAPs) provide access to medications for people who lack other health coverage. In this article, the authors present the results of a 1997 survey identifying how 48 States implemented ADAPs, focusing on the number of beneficiaries, medical and financial eligibility criteria, the administration of waiting lists, and the coverage of drugs including protease inhibitors. Increased funding for ADAPs is necessary to maintain this important part of the public sector safety net for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) care.

Effect of Insurance on Prescription Drug Use by ESRD Beneficiaries
Creators: name: Shih, Ya-chen Tina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: In this article the author reviews the prescription drug coverage policy in the Medicare End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) program and examines the relationship between secondary insurance status and the number of medications prescribed for dialysis patients who had Medicare as their primary payer. Negative binomial models were used to examine this relationship. Findings in this study indicate that the number of secondary payers has a significant impact on the number of prescription drugs received by Medicare ESRD patients. Further research is needed to determine whether Medicare beneficiaries without secondary insurance are obtaining fewer prescriptions than needed or if those with greater coverage are obtaining more than needed.

description: In this paper, we categorize fine-grained images without using any object / part annotation neither in the training nor in the testing stage, a step towards making it suitable for deployments. Fine-grained image categorization aims to classify objects with subtle distinctions. Most existing works heavily rely on object / part detectors to build the correspondence between object parts by using object or object part annotations inside training images. The need for expensive object annotations prevents the wide usage of these methods. Instead, we propose to select useful parts from multi-scale part proposals in objects, and use them to compute a global image representation for categorization. This is specially designed for the annotation-free fine-grained categorization task, because useful parts have shown to play an important role in existing annotation-dependent works but accurate part detectors can be hardly acquired. With the proposed image representation, we can further detect and visualize the key (most discriminative) parts in objects of different classes. In the experiment, the proposed annotation-free method achieves better accuracy than that of state-of-the-art annotation-free and most existing annotation-dependent methods on two challenging datasets, which shows that it is not always necessary to use accurate object / part annotations in fine-grained image categorization.

Year: 1999

description: The use of home health care (HHC) services among Medicare end stage renal disease (ESRD) enrollees remains an understudied area. In this article, the authors report sociodemographic characteristics and patterns of HHC utilization by Medicare-covered ESRD patients. The authors found that those who were female, age 85 or over, diabetic, and residing in the New England or West South Central census divisions were more likely to use HHC services and were also more intensive users. Analysis of use patterns in such high-risk populations is necessary to ensure that health policy changes do not have unintended consequences for vulnerable patients.
Polarizable polymer chain under external electric field in a dilute polymer solution

description: We study the conformational behavior of polarizable polymer chain under an external homogeneous electric field within the Flory type self-consistent field theory. We consider the influence of electric field on the polymer coil as well as on the polymer globule. We show that when the polymer chain conformation is a coil, application of external electric field leads to its additional swelling. However, when the polymer conformation is a globule, a sufficiently strong field can induce a globule-coil transition. We show that such $"$field-induced$"$ globule-coil transition at the sufficiently small monomer polarizabilities goes quite smoothly. On the contrary, when the monomer polarizability exceeds a certain threshold value, the globule-coil transition occurs as a dramatic expansion in the regime of first-order phase transition. The developed theoretical model can be applied to predicting polymer globule density change under external electric field in order to provide more efficient processes of polymer functionalization, such as sorption, dyeing, chemical modification, etc.

description: In response to the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) of 1997, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) initiated a massive information and education campaign to promote effective health plan decisionmaking. Early results suggest that the pilot version of the Medicare & You handbook and other new Medicare informational materials were viewed favorably overall. Despite their limitations, most beneficiaries found the information useful. The longer, more comprehensive materials were not perceived to be more useful than the shorter, less complicated version. Additional research is needed to determine which subgroups of beneficiaries may need more and, possibly less, information.
Market Entry and Exit in Long-Term Care: 1985-2000

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Market entry and exit of skilled nursing providers is analyzed to observe initial industry responses to Medicare prospective payment. Supply adjustments were immediate, and were stronger in urban than in rural areas. After12 years of steady growth, widespread market expansion ceased in 1998, but net reductions in the number of facilities occurred primarily in the hospital-based sector. In county-level modeling with controls for State policy effects, post-prospective payment system (PPS) reductions in the number of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) were associated with supply considerations; reductions were more likely to occur in areas with higher bed-to-population ratios prior to PPS implementation, and in areas that had recently seen expansion in capacity. County-level reduction in the number of SNFs was not associated with low income or other sociodemographic risk factors.
Technical Efficiency Analysis of the Ethiopian Brewery Industries

description: This study aims at determining the level of technical efficiency of the Ethiopian brewery industries overtime using stochastic frontier production function model. All the parameters of the frontier function and the inefficiency model have been estimated simultaneously using maximum likelihood estimation.

The usefulness of the frontier approach to the measuring efficiency of industries is twofold. Firstly, it provides managers of the firms with answers to the questions regarding cost minimization, organization and distribution systems. Secondly, frontier methodology offers guidance to regulators and policy makers as for solving and mitigating problems in particular industry and economy in general.

description: The contribution proposes the reading of a particularly significant work, in order to investigate the process of invention of the ‘signs’ proper to the place from which the project originates, and their metamorphosis into basic figures of architecture, embedded in the landscape. This is the partisan cemetery in Vojsko, designed in 1951 by Edvard Ravnikar with his collaborators and where, in a grassy break among the forests of the karst plateau of Idrija, 305 fighters who took part in the resistance are buried.
The work represents a piece of the extensive research on the symbolic representation of memory that has accompanied much of Edvard Ravnikar’s professional and theoretical career, and which has deposited, as an architectural outcome, a constellation of small interventions spread throughout the Slovenian territory. Layered here are traces generated by necessity, elements of tradition and archetypal signs, sedimented in the architect’s vocabulary and interpreted through the filter of the modern.

Rural Hospital Wages and the Area Wage Index

Year: 2002

description: We examined data on hospital hourly wages and the prospective payment system (PPS) wage index from 1990 to 1997, to determine if incremental changes to the index have improved its precision and equity as a regional cost adjuster. The differential between average rural and urban PPS hourly wages has declined by almost one-fourth over the 8-year study period. Nearly one-half of the decrease is attributable to regulatory and reporting changes in the annual hospital wage survey. Patterns of within-market wage variation across rural-urban continuum codes identify three separate sub-markets within the State-level aggregates defining rural labor markets. Geographic reclassification decisions appear to eliminate one of the three. Remaining systematic within-market rural wage differences work to the reimbursement advantage of hospitals in the smaller and more isolated communities.

description: The authors profile facilities converting to critical access hospitals (CAHs) from 1998-2000, comparing characteristics of their communities, operations, and finances to those of other small rural providers. Counties where CAHs are located are more sparsely populated, but do not have substantially different sociodemographic profiles than other rural counties. Converting hospitals' acute daily census averaged well below the statutory limit of 15, but over one-half reduced unused bed capacity to meet CAH size limitations. The average case-mix adjusted Medicare cost per case was 16-percent higher for CAH converters than for other small hospitals and their financial ratios were substantially worse, although many other operating characteristics were similar.

description: In the last decade, a combination of high sensitivity, high spatial resolution observations and of coordinated multi-wavelength surveys has revolutionized our view of extra-galactic black hole (BH) astrophysics. We now know that supermassive black holes reside in the nuclei of almost every galaxy, grow over cosmological times by accreting matter, interact and merge with each other, and in the process liberate enormous amounts of energy that influence dramatically the evolution of the surrounding gas and stars, providing a powerful self-regulatory mechanism for galaxy formation. The different energetic phenomena associated to growing black holes and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), their cosmological evolution and the observational techniques used to unveil them, are the subject of this chapter. In particular, I will focus my attention on the connection between the theory of high-energy astrophysical processes giving rise to the observed emission in AGN, the observable imprints they leave at different wavelengths, and the methods used to uncover them in a statistically robust way. I will show how such a combined effort of theorists and observers have led us to unveil most of the SMBH growth over a large fraction of the age of the Universe, but that nagging uncertainties remain, preventing us from fully understating the exact role of black holes in the complex process of galaxy and large-scale structure formation, assembly and evolution.

description: The 1965 legislation that established Medicare and Medicaid declared that the Federal Government would not interfere in clinical medicine. Despite the original intent, Medicare and Medicaid have had tremendous influence on medical practice. In this article, we focus on four policy areas that illustrate the influence of CMS (and its predecessor agencies) on medical practice. We discuss the implications of the relationship between CMS and clinical medicine and how this relationship has changed over time. We conclude with thoughts about potential future efforts at CMS.

description: Of course not, but if one believes that information cannot be destroyed in a theory of quantum gravity, then we run into apparent contradictions with quantum theory when we consider evaporating black holes. Namely that the no-cloning theorem or the principle of entanglement monogamy is violated. Here, we show that neither violation need hold, since, in arguing that black holes lead to cloning or non-monogamy, one needs to assume a tensor product structure between two points in space-time that could instead be viewed as causally connected. In the latter case, one is violating the semi-classical causal structure of space, which is a strictly weaker implication than cloning or non-monogamy. We show that the lack of monogamy that can emerge in evaporating space times is one that is allowed in quantum mechanics, and is very naturally related to a lack of monogamy of correlations of outputs of measurements performed at subsequent instances of time of a single system. A particular example of this is the Horowitz-Maldacena proposal, and we argue that it needn't lead to cloning or violations of entanglement monogamy. For measurements on systems which appear to be leaving a black hole, we introduce the notion of the temporal product, and argue that it is just as natural a choice for measurements as the tensor product. For black holes, the tensor and temporal products have the same measurement statistics, but result in different type of non-monogamy of correlations, with the former being forbidden in quantum theory while the latter is allowed. In the case of the AMPS firewall experiment we find that the entanglement structure is modified, and one must have entanglement between the infalling Hawking partners and early time outgoing Hawking radiation which surprisingly tame violation of entanglement monogamy.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in the Medicare population remains low despite Medicare coverage. We describe a population-based effort to increase CRC testing of Medicare enrollees in two States through promotion and distribution of office-based tools to primary care physicians and gastroenterologists. Small increases in colonoscopy test use by primary care physicians were observed, but the differences were not statistically significant. Results in one State were stronger than the other, and two components of the intervention appeared more promising than others. Use of CRC tests can be increased, but additional approaches are needed.

description: This study developed and applied benchmarks for five indicators included in the CAH Financial Indicators Report, an annual, hospital-specific report distributed to all critical access hospitals (CAHs). An online survey of Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers was used to establish benchmarks. Indicator values for 2004, 2005, and 2006 were calculated for 421 CAHs and hospital performance was compared to the benchmarks. Although many hospitals performed better than benchmark on one indicator in 1 year, very few performed better than benchmark on all five indicators in all 3 years. The probability of performing better than benchmark differed among peer groups.

description: We introduce the ring of partial differential operators with constant coefficients and commensurate time lags (we use the terminology D$Δ$ operators from now) initially defined by H. Glüsing-Lürßen for ordinary $DΔ$ operators and investigate its cohomological properties. Combining this ring theoretic observation with the integral representation technique developed by M. Andersson, we solve a certain type of division with bounds. In the last chapter, we prove the injectivity property of various function modules over this ring as well as spectral synthesis type theorems for $DΔ$ equations.

description: Formative research is used to inform intervention development, but the processes of transmitting results to intervention planners and incorporating information into intervention designs are not well documented. The authors describe how formative research results from the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG) were transferred to planners to guide intervention development. Methods included providing oral and written reports, prioritizing recommendations, and cross-checking recommendations with intervention objectives and implementation strategies. Formative work influenced the intervention in many ways. For example, results indicated that middle schools offered only coeducational physical education and health education classes, so the TAAG intervention was designed to be appropriate for both sexes, and intervention strategies were developed to directly address girls’ stated preferences (e.g., enjoyable activities, opportunity to socialize) and barriers (e.g., lack of skills, fear of injury) for physical activity. The challenges of using formative research for intervention development are discussed.

Additional information about this Adis Drug Review can be found here Abstract Daridorexant (Quviviq™) is a useful option for the treatment of insomnia disorder, which has shown efficacy in younger and older adults. It antagonises the orexin receptors, thereby reducing the wake drive. Daridorexant is the first dual orexin receptor antagonist to be approved for the treatment of chronic insomnia in the EU and has been approved for insomnia in the USA. In phase 3 clinical trials, daridorexant dose-dependently improved objective latency to persistent sleep, objective wake time after sleep onset, subjective total sleep time and, at the 50 mg dose, subjective daytime functioning compared with placebo. Daridorexant was generally well tolerated. Adverse events (AEs) commonly associated with insomnia drugs, such as somnolence, fatigue and dizziness, occurred at a similar or slightly greater frequency with daridorexant than with placebo. Falls occurred at a similar or lower frequency with daridorexant than with placebo. Most AEs were mild in severity and the incidence was not dose-dependent. The efficacy of daridorexant was maintained during a 12-month extension trial, with no new safety or tolerability concerns. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023

description: Formative research uses qualitative and quantitative methods to provide information for researchers to plan intervention programs. Gaps in the formative research literature include how to define goals, implementation plans, and research questions; select methods; analyze data; and develop interventions. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG), a randomized, multicenter field trial, to reduce the decline in physical activity in adolescent girls. The goals of the TAAG formative research are to (a) describe study communities and schools, (b) help design the trial’s interventions, (c) develop effective recruitment and retention strategies, and (d) design evaluation instruments. To meet these goals, a variety of methods, including telephone interviews, surveys and checklists, semistructured interviews, and focus group discussions, are employed. The purpose, method of development, and analyses are explained for each method.
Listening to Girls and Boys Talk About Girls’ Physical Activity Behaviors

description: As part of the formative assessment for the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG), a multicenter study to reduce the decline of physical activity in adolescent girls, girls and boys with diverse ethnicity from six states participated in focus groups and semistructured interviews. Data from 13 girls’ focus groups (N = 100), 11 boys’ focus groups (N = 77), and 80 semistructured interviews with girls are examined to identify perceptions of girls’ physical activity behaviors to help develop TAAG interventions. Both girls and boys talk about physically active girls as being “tomboys” or “too aggressive.” Girls are more likely to characterize active girls as “in shape,” whereas boys say they are “too athletic.” Girls report boys to be influential barriers and motivators in shaping their beliefs about physical activity. Given the strong influence of peers, developing successful interventions for girls should include verbal persuasion, modeling, and social support from both girls and boys.
