description: Aims. Recent randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown a significant prognostic benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in the cardiovascular (CV) profile of patients with diabetes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide a concise evaluation of all the available evidence for the use of these agents in patients with heart failure (HF) regardless of their baseline diabetes status. Methods and Results. PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases were systematically searched from inception until November 20th 2020. Eight studies consisting of 13,275 patients were included in the meta-analysis. For the total population, SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.75–0.91; I2 0%), hospitalisation for HF (HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.61–0.75; I2: 0%), CV death (HR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.74–0.92; I2: 0%), and hospitalisation for HF or CV death (HR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.66–0.78; I2: 0%). Subgroup analyses of the total population according to the diabetes status showed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly reduced the risk of hospitalisation for HF (HR: 0.68; 95% CI: 0.61, 0.75; I2: 0%), as well as the risk of hospitalisation for HF or CV death (HR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.66, 078; I2: 0%) and CV death (HR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.74, 0.91; I2: 0%). Conclusions. The results of this meta-analysis confirm the growing evidence in the literature of the favourable profile of SGLT2 inhibitors in cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with heart failure regardless of the baseline diabetes status. This systematic review has been registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021224777).

description: IoT technology has been widely valued and applied, and the resulting massive IoT data brings many challenges to the traditional centralized data management, such as performance, privacy, and security challenges. This paper proposes an IoT data access control scheme that combines attribute-based encryption (ABE) and blockchain technology. Symmetric encryption and ABE algorithms are utilized to realize fine-grained access control and ensure the security and openness of IoT data. Moreover, blockchain technology is combined with distributed storage to solve the storage bottleneck of blockchain systems. Only the hash values of the data, the hash values of the ciphertext location, the access control policy, and other important information are stored on the blockchain. In this scheme, smart contract is used to implement access control. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme can effectively protect the security and privacy of IoT data and realize the secure sharing of data.

description: Purpose: Effects of categorical phonotactic knowledge on pre-attentive speech processing were investigated by presenting illegal speech input that violated a phonotactic constraint in German called “g-deletion.” The present study aimed to extend previous findings of automatic processing of phonotactic violations and to investigate the role of stimulus context in triggering either an automatic phonotactic repair or a detection of the violation.Method: The mismatch negativity event-related potential component was obtained in 2 identical cross-sectional experiments with speaker variation and 16 healthy adult participants each. Four pseudowords were used as stimuli, 3 of them phonotactically legal and 1 illegal. Stimuli were contrasted pairwise in passive oddball conditions and presented binaurally via headphones. Results were analyzed by means of mixed design analyses of variance.Results: Phonotactically illegal stimuli were found to be processed differently compared to legal ones. Results indicate evidence for both automatic repair and detection of the phonotactic violation depending on the linguistic context the illegal stimulus was embedded in.Conclusions: These findings corroborate notions that categorical phonotactic knowledge is activated and applied even in the absence of attention. Thus, our findings contribute to the general understanding of sublexical phonological processing and may be of use for further developing speech recognition models.

description: We discuss the problem of competition between a superconducting (SC) ordered state with a charge density wave (CDW) state in stripe phases of high $T_c$ superconductors. We consider an effective model for each stripe motivated by studies of spin-gapped electronic ladder systems. We analyze the problem of dimensional crossover arising from inter-stripe SC and CDW couplings using non-Abelian bosonization and renormalization group (RG) arguments to derive an effective $O(4)$-symmetric nonlinear $σ$-model in $D=2+1$ for the case of when both inter-stripe couplings are of equal magnitude as well as equally RG relevant. By studying the effects of various symmetry lowering perturbations, we determine the structure of the phase diagram and show that, in general, it has a broad regime in which both orders coexist. The quantum and thermal critical behavior is discussed in detail, and the phase coexistence region is found to end at associated $T=0$ as well as $T>0$ tetracritical points. The possible role of hedgehog topological excitations of the theory is considered and argued to be RG irrelevant at the spatially anisotropic higher dimensional low-energy fixed point theory. Our results are also relevant to the case of competing Néel and valence bond solid (VBS) orders in quantum magnets on 2D isotropic square as well as rectangular lattices interacting via nearest neighbor Heisenberg exchange interactions.

description: Introduction : L'espérance de vie allant croissant, il y a de plus en plus de personnes âgées dans le monde. Parmi elles, nombreuses sont celles qui doivent être institutionnalisées en établissements médico-sociaux. Ainsi, ce travail se penchera sur ce public-ci pour tenter d'établir quelles sont les meilleures interventions réalisables par les infirmières afin d’éviter leurs chutes. En effet, si cette problématique est importante, c’est que les chutes sont la deuxième cause de décès accidentels dans le monde et qu’elles surviennent très souvent chez des personnes âgées. Un questionnement sera alors mené avec comme objectif d’analyser quelles interventions infirmières ont le plus de succès dans la prévention des chutes. Afin de faire cela, j’utiliserai l’approche basée sur les forces, ASFF, mise au point par Laurie Gottlieb. Méthodologie : Dans le but de réaliser une recherche pertinente, j’ai traduit les mots clés en anglais via le site internet CiSMeF en MeSH descripteur, et ensuite, j’ai effectué des recherches dans les bases de données Pubmed et Cinahl. Cette démarche m’a permis d’identifier cinquante-cinq articles dont six articles qui ont été retenus afin d’en faire une analyse critique. Résultats : Pour que les personnes âgées s’impliquent dans leur propre santé, l’infirmière doit communiquer avec elles, mais aussi avec leur famille. Avoir une bonne connaissance de ses patients permet à l’infirmière de détecter les risques, de définir les actions ainsi que les interventions ciblées et personnalisées. L’infirmière doit se baser sur des données probantes, connaître la plupart des facteurs de risque, ainsi que les interventions pour les pallier. Elle doit connaitre les moyens techniques et thérapeutiques afin de combler les besoins des patients. Le niveau de la formation infirmière et des soignants est primordial pour pouvoir assurer un personnel compétent, appliqué et spécialisé. Conclusion : Grâce à ce travail et à mes recherches, l’approche des soins basés sur les forces m’est vraiment apparue comme extrêmement pertinente dans le cas des personnes âgées, car même si certains sont très peu autonomes, ils ont tous des qualités et des forces uniques avec lesquelles nous devons composer. Ainsi, rester lucide tout en étant prévenante est important car nous, en tant que leurs infirmières, faisons partie intégrante de leur environnement et nous devons donc les aider à s’adapter afin de surmonter les défis de leur quotidien.

Delocalization power of global unitary operations on quantum information

description: We investigate how originally localized two pieces of quantum information represented by a tensor product of two unknown qudit states are delocalized by performing two-qudit global unitary operations. To characterize the delocalization power of global unitary operations on quantum information, we analyze the necessary and sufficient condition to deterministically relocalize one of the two pieces of quantum information to its original Hilbert space by using only LOCC. We prove that this LOCC one-piece relocalization is possible if and only if the global unitary operation is local unitary equivalent to a controlled-unitary operation. The delocalization power and the entangling power characterize different non-local properties of global unitary operations.

La Svizzera per immagini: tra diari di viaggio e manifesti turistici (XIX-XX)
Creators: name: Revellado Martin, Alicia
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2022

description: Il seguente itinerario didattico vuole invitare gli allievi a riflettere sulla visione del territorio elvetico che si è sviluppata nel corso degli ultimi secoli. In particolare il progetto prende il via dall'analisi di diari di viaggiatori stranieri del XIX secolo, i quali descrivono le loro impressioni sul paesaggio e sull'ambiente svizzero. L'itinerario offre anche l'occasione per trattare la tematica delle rivoluzioni politiche in maniera più stimolante e accattivante, legandosi proprio ai testi dei diari di viaggio. In seguito il punto di vista viene radicalmente ribaltato, affrontando la tematica della del traforo del San Gottardo e la conseguente rivoluzione della mobilità e della società. L'analisi si sposta quindi sui manifesti turistici svizzeri di inizio XX. La riflessione si concentra infatti sugli elementi del proprio patrimonio che la Svizzera stessa riconosce come valorizzanti. In questo modo gli allievi hanno la possibilità di osservare diversi punti di vista, immedesimandosi nello sguardo dell'altro. Inoltre il progetto termina con la realizzazione di un lavoro finale da parte degli allievi: essi infatti sono chiamati a creare un manifesto turistico del proprio comune di residenza. È così che gli allievi possono mettere in pratica le conoscenze acquisite in precedenza e realizzare un prodotto attingendo dal proprio vissuto e dalla propria realtà quotidiana.

description: Using density functional calculations, we investigate the structural and magnetic properties of ultrathin Gd and Gd-carbide nanowires (NWs) encapsulated in narrow carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The equilibrium geometry of an encapsulated (2 \times 2) Gd-NW is markedly different from that of bulk Gd crystals. The charge-density analysis shows pronounced spin-dependent electron transfer in the encapsulated Gd-NW in comparison with that of Gd-carbide NWs. We conclude that Gd-CNT hybridization is primarily responsible for both the structural difference and electron transfer in the encapsulated Gd-NW.

Functional contribution of L-type calcium channels to basolateral amygdala excitability and pathophysiology
Creators: name: Zhang, Yiming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Calcium influx via neuronal L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) has been implicated in regulating activity-dependent gene transcription, synaptic plasticity, and synaptogenesis. While gain-of-function mutations in neuronal LTCCs have been linked to neurodevelopmental diseases, including autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the role of LTCCs in regulating neuronal electrophysiological properties during early development remains unclear. The amygdala complex contributes toward emotional processes such as fear, anxiety and social cognition and studies suggest that increased excitability of basolateral amygdala (BLA) principal neurons underlie certain neuropsychiatric disorders. While LTCCs are expressed throughout the BLA, direct evidence for increased LTCC activity affecting BLA excitability and potentially contributing to disease pathophysiology is lacking. In Chapter Ⅰ of my study I investigated the contributions of LTCCs to the excitability and synaptic activity of BLA principal neurons at early developmental stages (postnatal day 7 (P7) and P21). By directly applying LTCC agonist (S)-Bay K8644 (BayK) onto brain slices, I found that BLA principal neurons displayed distinct alterations between P7 and P21 in intrinsic excitability properties, including firing frequency response, spike-frequency adaptation and altered spontaneous neurotransmission. These results suggested the possibility that the functional increase of LTCC activity at different stages of neurodevelopment may lead to alterations to BLA neuronal network activity. To investigate the effects of increased LTCC activity as it might relate to the underlying mechanism of developmental disorders such as ASD, in Chapter Ⅱ I examined the effects of increased LTCC function in early development on long-lasting neuronal excitability, synaptic plasticity and behavioral phenotypes. Bilateral injection of BayK into the BLA at different early stages (P7 or P14) followed by recovery and testing at P28 showed enhanced BLA neuronal excitability, long-term potentiation, as well as altered social behaviors, anxiety and repetitive behaviors. Whereas P28 animals that received BayK injection at P21 did not display any differences compared to DMSO control. These results provide evidence for the contributions of LTCCs at different stages of neurodevelopment, as well as their role in inducing long-lasting alterations in neuronal networks and behavioral phenotypes. They also provide new insights into LTCC dysfunction as it is potentially related to amygdala-related neurological disorders.
Gamma-ray binaries: microquasars and binary systems with pulsar

description: Several binary systems have been detected at High Energy (HE, E > 100 MeV) and/or Very High Energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. Some of them are X-ray binaries in which accretion feeds relativistic radio jets and powers the non-thermal emission (i.e., microquasars), whereas in others the power comes from the wind of a young pulsar instead of accretion. Although the power mechanism in these systems is different (accretion vs pulsar wind), all of them are radio, X-ray and gamma-ray emitters, and have a high-mass bright companion (O or B) star that is a source of seed photons for IC scattering and target nuclei for hadronic interactions. I review here some of the main observational results on the non-thermal emission from X-ray binaries as well as some of the proposed scenarios to explain the production of gamma rays.

description: Report Foreword: Changes in marketing practices and the structure of marketing channels have been taking place in Mexico since the mid-1980s when Mexico began to open its economy. These changes have accelerated since 1994 when the North American Free Trade Agreement was implemented. One of the key market sectors affected by the expansion of trade and foreign investment in Mexico in recent years has been the fresh produce sector, where the rapid expansion of national and international supermarket chains has forced significant change in traditional distribution practices. Nonetheless, the adoption of modern handling and transportation practices for perishable fruits and vegetables in Mexico continues to be inhibited by the absence of well-defined quality standards, poor supply chain management, and inadequate physical infrastructure. This report looks in detail at the supply side and demand side changes that have taken place in Mexico’s fresh produce distribution system in recent years, the challenges that continue to undermine efficient distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables, and the implications of these changes and challenges for U.S. fresh produce growers and shippers.
Fingerprinting Dark Energy II: weak lensing and galaxy clustering tests

description: The characterization of dark energy is a central task of cosmology. To go beyond a cosmological constant, we need to introduce at least an equation of state and a sound speed and consider observational tests that involve perturbations. If dark energy is not completely homogeneous on observable scales then the Poisson equation is modified and dark matter clustering is directly affected. One can then search for observational effects of dark energy clustering using dark matter as a probe. In this paper we exploit an analytical approximate solution of the perturbation equations in a general dark energy cosmology to analyze the performance of next-decade large scale surveys in constraining equation of state and sound speed. We find that tomographic weak lensing and galaxy redshift surveys can constrain the sound speed of the dark energy only if the latter is small, of the order of $c_{s}\lesssim0.01$ (in units of $c$). For larger sound speeds the error grows to 100% and more. We conclude that large scale structure observations contain very little information about the perturbations in canonical scalar field models with a sound speed of unity. Nevertheless, they are able to detect the presence of "cold" dark energy, i.e. a dark energy with non-relativistic speed of sound.

description: In his Comment on a recent paper by two of us Kominis claims that the recently proposed quantum measurement model for spin-selective reactions of radical pairs leads to ambiguous predictions in a simple case. Here we show that this claim is based on a confusion between the unreacted and unrecombined portions of the radical pairs, and to an incorrect interpretation of the improper density matrices used in both our model and the conventional Haberkorn model of such reactions. We further show that if this error is corrected then the supposed ambiguity is resolved.

description: Based on our recent MHD simulations, first, a concept of the successive merging of plasmoids and fragmentation in the current sheet in the standard flare model is presented. Then, using a 2.5-D electromagnetic particle-in-cell model with free boundary conditions, these processes were modelled on the kinetic level of plasma description. We recognized the plasmoids which mutually interacted and finally merged into one large plasmoid. Between interacting plasmoids further plasmoids and current sheets on smaller and smaller spatial scales were formed in agreement with the fragmentation found in MHD simulations. During interactions (merging - coalescences) of the plasmoids the electrons were very efficiently accelerated and heated. We found that after a series of such merging processes the electrons in some regions reached the energies relevant for the emission in the hard X-ray range. Considering these energetic electrons and assuming the plasma density 10^9-10^10 cm^{-3} and the source volume as in the December 31, 2007 flare (Krucker at al. 2010, ApJ 714, 1108), we computed the X-ray spectra as produced by the bremsstrahlung emission process. Comparing these spectra with observations, we think that these processes can explain the observed above-the-loop-top hard X-ray sources. Furthermore, we show that the process of a fragmentation between two merging plasmoids can generate the narrowband dm-spikes. Formulas for schematic fractal reconnection structures were derived. Finally, the results were discussed.

description: When a satellite galaxy falls into a massive dark matter halo, it suffers the dynamical friction force which drag it into the halo center and finally it merger with the central galaxy. The time interval between entry and merger is called as the dynamical friction timescale (T_df). Many studies have been dedicated to derive T_df using analytical models or N-body simulations. These studies have obtained qualitative agreements on how T_df depends on the orbit parameters, and mass ratio between satellite and host halo. However, there are still disagreements on the accurate form of T_df . In this paper, we present a semi-analytical model to predict T_df and we focus on interpreting the discrepancies among different studies. We find that the treatment of mass loss from satellite by tidal stripping dominates the behavior of T_df . We also identify other model parameters which affect the predicted T_df.

description: Recent experiments have observed magnetic reconnection in high-energy-density, laser-produced plasma bubbles, with reconnection rates observed to be much higher than can be explained by classical theory. Based on fully kinetic particle simulations we find that fast reconnection in these strongly driven systems can be explained by magnetic flux pile-up at the shoulder of the current sheet and subsequent fast reconnection via two-fluid, collisionless mechanisms. In the strong drive regime with two-fluid effects, we find that the ultimate reconnection time is insensitive to the nominal system Alfven time.

Evolution of twist-shear and dip-shear in Faring active region NOAA 10930

description: We study the evolution of magnetic shear angle in a flare productive active region NOAA 10930. The magnetic shear angle is defined as the deviation in the orientation of the observed magnetic field vector with respect to the potential field vector. The shear angle is measured in horizontal as well as vertical plane. The former is computed by taking the difference between the azimuth angles of the observed and potential field and is called the twist-shear, while the latter is computed by taking the difference between the inclination angles of the observed and potential field and is called the dip-shear. The evolution of the two shear angles is then tracked over a small region located over the sheared penumbra of the delta sunspot in NOAA 10930. We find that, while the twist-shear shows an increasing trend after the flare the dip-shear shows a significant drop after the flare.

description: In a previous paper, we presented a matrix model reproducing the topological string partition function on an arbitrary given toric Calabi-Yau manifold. Here, we study the spectral curve of our matrix model and thus derive, upon imposing certain minimality assumptions on the spectral curve, the large volume limit of the BKMP "remodeling the B-model" conjecture, the claim that Gromov-Witten invariants of any toric Calabi-Yau 3-fold coincide with the spectral invariants of its mirror curve.

Metamorphic and geochronological evolution of mid- and upper-crustal rocks in the Nepalese Himalaya
Creators: name: Lihter, Iva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: As a young, active collisional orogen, the Himalaya has been a common target for studying collisional dynamics and metamorphic processes. Despite this targeted investigation, there remain unresolved issues that hinder our understanding of the mountain belt formation. For example, while the Himalayan metamorphic core (HMC), a package of exhumed midcrustal rocks that record Cenozoic metamorphism and deformation in the Himalaya, was previously thought to be a laterally continuous unit, recent research has documented evidence of a complex structural and metamorphic evolution not accounted for in previous tectonic models. In addition, parts of the Himalaya remain understudied due to geographic isolation and/or political obstacles potentially holding back new discoveries. This study works to elucidate the metamorphic and geochronologic evolution of midand upper-crustal rocks from three different locations in the Nepalese Himalaya. The results from high-precision Lu-Hf garnet geochronology and U-Th-Pb accessory geochronology in the Kanchenjunga region outline new evidence of pre-Himalayan garnets within the HMC. It is argued that these ca. 290 - 230 Ma garnets reflect either two-stage growth during Cambro- Ordovician and Cenozoic times, or growth during the early Permian opening of the Neo- Tethys, unrelated to Himalayan metamorphism. A similar multidisciplinary approach with mineral geochemistry, monazite petrochronology and phase equilibria modelling on midcrustal rocks from the Makalu-Arun region outlines at least three late Oligocene to mid- Miocene tectonometamorphic discontinuities within the HMC, with one of these inferred as an out-of-sequence thrust. The dataset obtained is consistent with a structural model driven by thrust wedge kinematics. Finally, garnet trace element geochemistry, monazite petrochronology and classical (conventional) thermobarometry carried out on metamorphic rocks in the vicinity of a Miocene pluton in the Upper Mustang region resolved contrasting interpretations on the origin of these rocks. This work provides evidence that metamorphism in the area was driven by time-resolved heat transfer away from the pluton. The dataset and interpretations produced as part of this thesis provide critical information for our understanding of the development of the Himalayan mid-crust and the development of new tectonic models explaining orogenic processes in general.
