description: A non-critical holographic QCD model constructed in the six dimensional Anti-de-Sitter ($AdS_6$) supergravity background is employed to study a the baryon. It is shown that the size of the baryon is of order one with respect to the $λ$, however, it is smaller than the scale of the dual QCD. An effective four dimensional action for the nucleon is obtained in terms of the meson exchange potentials. All meson-nucleon couplings in the non-critical $AdS_6$ background are calculated. Results obtained using our model are compared with predictions of four modern phenomenological interaction models. Also, our numerical results are compared with the results of the Sakai-Sugimoto (SS) model which indicate that the non-critical holographic QCD model can be a good toy to calculate the meson-nucleon couplings.

description: We present the derivation of a novel third-order hydrodynamic evolution equation for shear stress tensor from kinetic theory. Boltzmann equation with relaxation time approximation for the collision term is solved iteratively using Chapman-Enskog like expansion to obtain the nonequilibrium phase-space distribution function. Subsequently, the evolution equation for shear stress tensor is derived from its kinetic definition up-to third-order in gradients. We quantify the significance of the new derivation within one-dimensional scaling expansion and demonstrate that the results obtained using third-order viscous equations derived here provides a very good approximation to the exact solution of Boltzmann equation in relaxation time approximation. We also show that the time evolution of pressure anisotropy obtained using our equations is in better agreement with transport results when compared with an existing third-order calculation based on the second-law of thermodynamics.

description: This article describes the development of ProjectHeartforGirls.com, an interactive web-based program designed to improve sexual communication skills and reduce the risk of HIV/STDs among adolescent girls, a population at heightened risk for negative sexual health outcomes (CDC, 2013). Although sexual communication is a critical predictor of safer sex among teens, there are few online interventions that target these skills as a central program component. We developed ProjectHeartforGirls.com to fill this gap. Program development involved 1) identifying the target population (ethnically-diverse high school girls); 2) clarifying the theoretical foundation (Reasoned Action Model); 3) conducting formative qualitative research (n=25 girls); 4) drafting initial program content; 5) receiving ongoing feedback from a teen advisory board (n=5 girls); 6) programming online content; and 7) conducting usability testing (n=6 girls). These steps are described along with the final intervention product, which is currently being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial.

description: The subject of the study is the preparation of forecast financial documents in the mechanism of planning the financial potential of the enterprise.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the need to develop forecast financial documents as an
important stage of planning the financial potential of the enterprise.
Research methods. The work uses the dialectical method of scientific knowledge, the method of
analysis and synthesis, the comparative method, and the method of summarizing data.
Work results. The article describes the components of financial forecasting. Three models of
financial planning are considered. The sequence of forming the cash flow report is outlined.
Conclusions. The calculation of the forecasted financial potential of the business entity must be
carried out on the basis of long–term net profitability (profitability from operations with fixed assets,
namely profit from investment of fixed capital) and financial stability, taking into account the forecast of
increased profitability of equity capital, growth, preservation or restoration of liquidity. The forecasted
financial potential should be based on the generation of net cash flow, which would allow, due to the
growth of gross revenue and return on equity, to increase or restore lost financial stability, especially
the ratio of current solvency, taking into account the effect of operating and financial levers and the
realism of the forecast of the growth of own working capital in the monetary form.

description: Oral preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) trials report disparate efficacy attributed to variable adherence. HPTN 066 was conducted to establish objective, quantitative benchmarks for discrete, regular levels of adherence using directly observed dosing of tenofovir (TFV) disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/emtricitabine (FTC). Healthy, HIV-uninfected men and women were randomized to one of four oral regimens of fixed-dose TDF 300 mg/FTC 200 mg tablet for 5 weeks with all doses observed: one tablet weekly (one/week), one tablet twice weekly (two/week), two tablets twice weekly (four/week), or one tablet daily (seven/week). Trough serum TFV and FTC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), and CD4+ TFV-diphosphate (TFV-DP) and FTC-triphosphate (FTC-TP) concentrations were determined throughout dosing and 2 weeks after the last dose. Rectosigmoidal, semen, and cervicovaginal samples were collected for drug assessment at end of dosing and 2 weeks later in a subset of participants. The 49 enrolled participants tolerated the regimens well. All regimens achieved steady-state concentrations by the second dose for serum TFV/FTC and by 7 days for PBMC TFV-DP/FTC-TP. Steady-state median TFV-DP predose concentrations demonstrated dose proportionality: one/week 1.6 fmol/106 PBMCs, two/week 9.1, four/week 18.8, seven/week, 36.3. Further, TFV-DP was consistently quantifiable 2 weeks after the last dose for the ≥4/week regimens. Adherence benchmarks were identified using receiver operating characteristic curves, which had areas under the curve ≥0.93 for all analytes in serum and PBMCs. Intersubject and intrasubject coefficients of variation (%CV) ranged from 33% to 63% and 14% to 34%, respectively, for all analytes in serum and PBMCs. Steady-state PBMC TFV-DP was established earlier and at lower concentrations than predicted and was the only analyte demonstrating predose concentration dose proportionality. Steady-state daily dosing serum TFV and PBMC TFV-DP was consistent with highly effective PrEP clinical trials. HPTN 066 provides adherence benchmarks for oral TFV/FTC regimens to assist interpreting study outcomes.
Professional Image and Heroism of Nurses during the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Case Study of the Effects of Social Media on Nurses in Illinois

description: This article uses a survey of nurses in Illinois to explore the heroization of nurses that occurred during the 2020-2021 pandemic and the effects of social media on respondents. Due to their hard work taking care of patients, putting them at risk of contracting the Covid-19, nurses have become viewed as heroic. Other scholars have examined the narratives of heroism surrounding nurses, finding they have both accepted and critiqued their status as heroes. However, there have not been many specific studies of the effects of social media on the heroization process and on nurses during the pandemic. Social media has allowed nurses to publicize their jobs and daily struggles, leading to their status as heroes and general acknowledgement, but can also negatively affect their mental health. In addition, relatively little online discourse about nurses transformed into offline activism, casting doubt on the limits of social media in politics.

description: Orphans and separated children (OSC) are a vulnerable population whose numbers are increasing, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Over 153 million children worldwide have lost one or both parents, including 17 million orphaned by AIDS, and millions more have been separated from their parents. As younger orphans enter adolescence, their sexual health and HIV-related risk behaviors become key considerations for their overall health. Importantly, their high prevalence of exposure to potentially traumatic events (PTEs) may put OSC at additional risk for adverse sexual health outcomes. The Positive Outcomes for Orphans study followed OSC randomly sampled from institution-based care and from family-based care, as well as a convenience sample of non-OSC, at six sites in five low-and middle-income countries. This analysis focused on the 90-month follow-up, during which adolescents 16 and older were assessed for sexual health, including age at sexual debut, past-year sex, past-year condom use, and perceptions of condom use. We specifically examined the relationship between PTEs and sexual health outcomes. Of the 1258 OSC and 138 non-OSC assessed, 11% reported ever having sex. Approximately 6% of participants reported recent sex and 5% reported having recent unprotected sex. However, 70% of those who had recent sex reported that they did not use a condom every time, and perceptions of condom use tended to be unfavorable for protection against sexual risk behavior. Nearly all (90%) of participants reported experiencing at least one lifetime PTE. For those who experienced “any” PTE, we found increased prevalence of recent sex (PR = 1.39 [0.47, 4.07]) and of recent unprotected sex (PR = 3.47 [0.60, 19.91]). This study highlights the need for caregivers, program managers, and policymakers to promote condom use for sexually active OSC and identify interventions for trauma support services. Orphans living in family-based care may also be particularly vulnerable to early sexual debut and unprotected sexual activity.

Neutrino masses, dominant neutrinoless double beta decay, and observable lepton flavor violation in left-right models and SO(10) grand unification with low mass $\bf W_R, Z_R$ bosons

description: While the detection of $W_R$-boson at the Large Hadron Collider is likely to resolve the mystery of parity violation in weak interaction, observation of neutrinoless double beta decay ($0νββ$) is expected to determine whether neutrinos are Majorana fermions. In this work we consider a class of LR models with TeV scale $W_R, Z_R$ bosons but having parity restoration at high scales where they originate from well known Pati-Salam symmetry or $SO(10)$ grand unified theory minimally extended to accommodate inverse seesaw frame work for neutrino masses. Most dominant new contribution to neutrinoless double beta decay is noted to occur via $W_L^{-}W_L^{-}$ mediation involving lighter sterile neutrino exchanges. The next dominant contribution is found to be through $W_L^{-}W_R^{-}$ mediation involving both light and heavy right-handed neutrino or sterile neutrino exchanges. The quark-lepton symmetric origin of the computed value of the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is also found to play a crucial role in determining these and other results on lepton flavor violating branching ratios for $τ\rightarrow e + γ$, $τ\rightarrow μ+ γ$, and $μ\rightarrow e + γ$ accessible to ongoing search experiments. The underlying non-unitarity matrix is found to manifest in substantial CP-violating effects even when the leptonic Dirac phase $δ_{\rm CP} \simeq 0, π, 2 π$. Finally we explore a possible origin of the model in non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory where, in addition to low mass $W_R^\pm$ and $Z_R$ bosons accessible to Large Hadron Collider, the model is found to predict observable neutron-antineutron oscillation and lepto-quark gauge boson mediated rare kaon decay with $\mbox{Br} \left(K_{\rm L} \rightarrow μ\, \bar{e}\right) \simeq \left(10^{-9}- 10^{-11} \right)$.

description: Resonant enhancement of high harmonic generation can be obtained in plasmas containing ions with strong radiative transitions resonant with harmonic orders. The mechanism for this enhancement is still debated. We perform the first temporal characterization of the attosecond emission from a tin plasma under near-resonant conditions for two different resonance detunings. We show that the resonance considerably changes the relative phase of neighbouring harmonics. For very small detunings, their phase locking may even be lost, evidencing strong phase distortions in the emission process and a modified attosecond structure. These features are well reproduced by our simulations, allowing their interpretation in terms of the phase of the recombination dipole moment.

description: We determine all triples $(a,b,n)$ of positive integers such that $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime and $n^k$ divides $a^n + b^n$ (respectively, $a^n - b^n$), when $k$ is the maximum of $a$ and $b$ (in fact, we answer a slightly more general question). As a by-product, it is found that, for $m, n \in \mathbb N^+$ with $n \ge 2$, $n^m$ divides $ m^n + 1$ if and only if $(m,n)=(2,3)$ or $(1,2)$, which generalizes problems from the 1990 and 1999 editions of the International Mathematical Olympiad. The results are related to a conjecture by K. Győry and C. Smyth on the finiteness of the sets $R_k^\pm(a,b) := \{n \in \mathbb N^+: n^k \mid a^n \pm b^n\}$, when $a,b,k$ are fixed integers with $k \ge 3$, $\gcd(a,b) = 1$ and $|ab| \ge 2$.

description: The rise of users in a mobile environment has made movie recommender systems an important research issue. This system helps to recommend top-k movies for target user. To help consumers locate the best movies in a more convenient way, a complete aggregate of user preferences, sentiments (emotions), and reviews is necessary to recommend movies. However, we must consider timeliness and accuracy when dealing with the recommendation system. A different recommendation schemes have been presented includes collaborative filtering, content-based recommender system, and hybrid recommender system. We introduce a movie recommendation system based on a new user similarity metric and opinion mining in this work. The basic goal of this work is to determine the types of movie opinions (positive, negative, or neutral) and to provide users with a top-k suggestion list. We extract aspect-based specific ratings from reviews and also recommend reviews to users depends on user similarity and their rating patterns. Finally, the suggested movie recommendation system was validated using multiple evaluation criteria, and the proposed system outperformed conventional systems.

description: We study the possibility of explaining the late time acceleration with an axion field which is coupled with the dark matter sector of the energy budget of the Universe. The axion field arises from the Ramond-Ramond sector of the Type-IIB string theory. We study the background evolution of the Universe as well as the growth of the matter perturbation in the linear regime. We subsequently use the observational data from Sn-Ia, BAO measurements, measurements of the Hubble parameter as well as the observational data for the growth of the matter perturbation to constrain our model. Our results show that coupled axion models are allowed to have larger deviation from cosmological constant by the present observational data.

description: The serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) has been previously associated with alcohol-related risk. Most findings point to short (S) allele carriers being at increased risk for negative alcohol outcomes relative to long allele homozygotes, although some work indicates a more complex relationship. The current prospective study aimed to clarify how and under what circumstances variations in 5-HTTLPR transmit risk for various alcohol-related outcomes. Participants were 218 adolescents and young adults (29% female) enrolled in the Michigan Longitudinal Study. We tested a moderated mediation model with 5-HTTLPR as the predictor, Self-Rating of the Effects of Alcohol (SRE) score as the mediator, alcohol-related outcomes as the dependent variables, parental monitoring as the moderator of the SRE to alcohol outcomes path, and prior drinks, sex, age, and body mass index as covariates. Four alcohol-related outcomes were tested. The S allele was associated with higher SRE scores (i.e., lower response to alcohol). Parental monitoring was a significant moderator: At low levels of parental monitoring, higher SRE scores predicted more drinks consumed and binge drinking episodes. At high levels of monitoring, higher SRE scores were significantly related to fewer alcohol-related problems. Findings suggest that one mechanism by which 5-HTTLPR variation transmits alcohol-related risk is through level of response to alcohol. Furthermore, the strength and direction of this effect varied by level of parental monitoring, indicating that even in the presence of genetic and physiological vulnerability, parents can influence the likelihood of offspring developing problematic alcohol-related behaviors.

description: Cal-Maine Foods Inc., the largest shell egg producer in the world, had historically operated with low debt levels relative to debt ratios in other industries and within agribusiness. In its third fiscal quarter report, issued by the end of March 2021, Cal-Maine reported no debt in its balance sheet, making this company one of the few debt-free publicly traded agribusinesses in the U.S. This case analyzes Cal-Maine’s capital structure, which represents a rare case for exploring and challenging the notion of optimal capital structure in theory and practice. Understanding the rationale behind a debt-free firm’s policy is puzzling because financial theory predicts that adding debt up to certain level −the optimal capital structure− creates economic value. According to surveyed chief financial officers, there is also evidence that practitioners use an optimal capital structure framework for financial management decisions. By applying a framework allowing for both qualitative and quantitative analysis, this case reviews the benefits and costs of debt in the capital structure, as applied to Cal-Maine. The case asks students to evaluate potential recapitalization policies in which Cal-Maine adds debt to its capital structure and use debt proceeds plus excess cash to repurchase shares at the prevailing price as of the end of May 2021.

description: Increasing numbers of perinatally HIV (PHIV+)-infected youth are surviving into adulthood with better access to treatment. However, few studies examine positive outcomes in the face of adversity (resilience) for PHIV+ youth. Social Action Theory (SAT) provided the theoretical framework for this study of PHIV + youth in South Africa (SA), allowing examination of contextual, social, and self-regulatory factors that influence behavioral health. Data were from youth and caregiver baseline interviews, simply pooled from a pilot (N=66) and larger (n=111) randomized control trial (RCT) of the VUKA Family program. For this analysis, outcomes included emotional and behavioral functioning (total difficulties), and prosocial behaviors. Potential SAT correlates included socio-demographics; caregiver health and mental health; parent-child relationship factors; stigma, and child coping, support; and self-esteem. Regression analyses adjusted for age, gender, and study revealed significant associations at the contextual, social, and self-regulation level. Lower total child difficulties scores were associated with lower caregiver depression (β = 3.906,p < .001), less caregiver-reported communication about difficult issues (β = 1.882, p = .009) and higher youth self-esteem (β = -0.119, p = .020). Greater prosocial behaviors were associated with greater caregiver-reported communication (β = 0.722, p = .020) and child use of wishful thinking for coping (β = 5.532, p = .009). Less youth depression was associated with higher caregiver education (β =−0.399, p = .010), greater caregiver supervision (β = −1.261, p = .012), more social support seeking (β = −0.453, p = .002), higher youth self-esteem (β = −0.067, p < .001), lower internalized stigma (β = 0.608, p = .040), and child use of resignation for coping (β = 1.152, p = .041). Our data support evidence-based family interventions that also promote youth self-regulation skills to enhance the health and mental health of PHIV+ youth.

description: Acute ethanol activates the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, while long-term exposure results in a blunted neuroendocrine state, particularly with regards to the primary endpoint, cortisol, the primary glucocorticoid produced in the adrenal cortex. However, it is unknown if this dampened neuroendocrine status also influences other adrenocortical steroids. Plasma concentration of the mineralocorticoid and neuroactive steroid precursor deoxycorticosterone (DOC) is altered by pharmacological challenges of the HPA axis in cynomolgus monkeys. The present study investigated HPA axis regulation of circulating DOC concentration over the course of ethanol (4% w/v) induction and self-administration in non-human primates (Macaca fasciculata, n = 10). Plasma DOC, measured by radioimmunoassay, was compared at baseline (ethanol naïve), during schedule-induced polydipsia, and following 6-months of 22 h/day access to ethanol and water. The schedule induction of ethanol drinking did not alter basal DOC levels but selectively dampened the DOC response to pharmacological challenges aimed at the anterior pituitary (ovine corticotrophin-releasing hormone) and adrenal gland (post-dexamethasone adrenocorticotropin hormone), while pharmacological inhibition of central opioid receptors with naloxone greatly enhanced the DOC response during induction. Following 6 months of ethanol self-administration, basal DOC levels were increased more than twofold, while responses to each of the challenges normalized somewhat but remained significantly different than baseline. These data show that HPA axis modulation of the neuroactive steroid precursor DOC is markedly altered by the schedule induction of ethanol drinking and long-term voluntary ethanol self-administration. The consequences of chronic ethanol consumption on HPA axis regulation of DOC point toward allostatic modification of hypothalamic and adrenal function.

description: Corrections induced by primordial non-Gaussianity to the linear halo bias can be computed from a peak-background split or the widespread local bias model. However, numerical simulations clearly support the prediction of the former, in which the non-Gaussian amplitude is proportional to the linear halo bias. To understand better the reasons behind the failure of standard Lagrangian local bias, in which the halo overdensity is a function of the local mass overdensity only, we explore the effect of a primordial bispectrum on the 2-point correlation of discrete density peaks. We show that the effective local bias expansion to peak clustering vastly simplifies the calculation. We generalize this approach to excursion set peaks and demonstrate that the resulting non-Gaussian amplitude, which is a weighted sum of quadratic bias factors, precisely agrees with the peak-background split expectation, which is a logarithmic derivative of the halo mass function with respect to the normalisation amplitude. We point out that statistics of thresholded regions can be computed using the same formalism. Our results suggest that halo clustering statistics can be modelled consistently (in the sense that the Gaussian and non-Gaussian bias factors agree with peak-background split expectations) from a Lagrangian bias relation only if the latter is specified as a set of constraints imposed on the linear density field. This is clearly not the case of standard Lagrangian local bias. Therefore, one is led to consider additional variables beyond the local mass overdensity.

description: Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) are self-organizing and self-configuring multi-hop wireless networks with adaptive re-configuration capabilities. The lack of infrastructure, limited bandwidth, dynamic nature, and unpredictability of link failure wreak havoc on network services. In the design and analysis of secure distribution systems, trust is a important factor to consider. As a result, trust-based security is chosen as a security strategy to strengthen the cluster head in this proposed study. As a consequence, for each cluster, a secure cluster head could be chosen, ensuring safe routing. A security approach known as the trust mechanism is offered to strengthen the chosen cluster head. It also discusses the draw backs of the re-election process and a new priority method is proposed which gives an alternative solution for the re-election process.

Accurate CI and Hylleraas-CI wave functions for the atomic effects in the whole-atom-nuclear beta-decay of the Li atom

description: In this review we study the level of accuracy of the electronic wave functions which is necessary to describe properly the atomic effects during nuclear beta-decay. In the case of the beta- decay in the Li atom into Be+ ion we compare the numerical values of the transition probabilities from the S-, P-, D-low-lying states of the initial atom and final ion calculated using both Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction (Hy-CI) and Configuration Interaction (CI) with Slater orbitals wave functions. In addition using the CI method the transition probabilities from F, G, H and I low-lying states have been calculated. The average of the absolute deviation of the transition probabilities distribution for low-lying S-states is <0.15%, for P-states <0.5%, and larger for D- and higher energy states. The numerical results demonstrate that for low-lying states the atomic effect parameters in beta-decay can be calculated with sufficient accuracy using CI wave functions constructed with Slater orbitals. This result opens a new avenue for the accurate calculation of atomic effects during the beta-decay in heavier atoms and molecules.
