description:   Afghanistan is the 36th Least Developed Country (LDC) member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It is a landlocked country yet deliberately situated at the heart of Silk Road which even today can fill in as the center point of trade and transit of Central Asia and South Asia. It is accepted that sustainable economic development through drawing in significant investment and trade cannot be accomplished without more extensive integration into the world economy. Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) unequivocally perceives the role of trade for economic development culminating Afghanistan's reconciliation into the world economy as one of the key advancement objectives for which membership to WTO is a fundamental step (ANDS, 2008). Economic growth and reduction in poverty is the main goal of ANDS which place more prominent accentuation on a free market and private sector-led economy. This dissertation highlights on the role of WTO in the guise of TRIPS Agreement in Afghanistan.

description: Background Malnutrition is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), requiring timely and sufficient nutritional supplementation. In patients hospitalized for active disease, symptoms and/or altered intestinal function hinder enteral nutrition feasibility. In this scenario, parenteral nutrition (PN) is used. We aimed (1) to assess the frequency of PN use between 1997 and 2012 among hospitalized pediatric patients with IBD, (2) to determine the risk of in-hospital thrombus and infection associated with PN, and (3) to identify predictors of thrombus and infection in pediatric IBD hospitalizations utilizing PN. Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis of pediatric patients hospitalized between 1997 and 2012. We used the Kids' Inpatient Database (KID) to identify pediatric patients (ó18 years of age) with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), PN exposure, and primary outcomes including thrombus and infection. We used multivariable regression to identify risk factors for outcomes of interest. Results Parenteral nutrition was utilized in 3732 (12%) of 30,914 IBD hospitalizations. Three percent of PN patients experienced a thrombotic complication, and 5.5% experienced an infectious complication. Multivariate analysis showed PN as an independent risk factor for thrombus (odds ratio [OR], 4.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.2-5.6) and infection (OR, 3.8; 95% CI, 3.1-4.6). Surgery was an independent risk factor for thrombus (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.4-2.7) and infection (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 2.0-3.1) in hospitalizations exposed to PN. Conclusions Hospitalized pediatric IBD patients, particularly surgical, receiving PN are at increased risk for thrombosis and infection. Clinicians must balance these risks with the benefits of PN.

description: We study the production of a top-quark pair in association with one and two vector bosons, $t \bar t V$ and $t \bar t VV$ with $V=γ, Z, W^\pm$, at the LHC. We provide predictions at next-to-leading order in QCD for total cross sections and top-quark charge asymmetries as well as for differential distributions. A thorough discussion of the residual theoretical uncertainties related to missing higher orders and to parton distribution functions is presented. As an application, we calculate the total cross sections for this class of processes (together with $t \bar t H$ and $t \bar t t \bar t$ production) at hadron colliders for energies up to 100 TeV. In addition, by matching the NLO calculation to a parton shower, we determine the contribution of $t \bar t V$ and $t \bar t VV$ to final state signatures (two-photon and two-same-sign-, three- and four-lepton) relevant for $t \bar t H$ analyses at the Run II of the LHC.

description: Background Racial and socioeconomic disparities exist in the treatment and outcomes of children and adults with Crohn's disease (CD). This study investigated the impact of race and insurance status on emergency department (ED) evaluation and treatment among children with CD in the United States. Methods Data from the Pediatric Health Information System included ED visits between January 2007 and December 2013 for patients aged ó21 years with a primary diagnosis of CD, or a secondary diagnosis of CD plus a primary CD-related diagnosis. Analyses were performed using mixed-effects logistic regression. Results Subjects included 2618 unique patients (black, 612 [23%]; white, 2006 [77%]) with 3779 visits from 38 hospitals, a median age of 14.0 ñ 4.0 years, and 50% male. White children had a higher median neighborhood income and were more likely to have private insurance (57% vs 30%; P < 0.001). Emergency department visits for privately insured patients had higher odds of complete blood count (odds ratio [OR], 1.43; 95% CI, 1.08-1.90) and C-reactive protein/erythrocyte sedimentation rate (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06-1.82) vs Medicaid insured. Visits for white children had higher odds of receiving antiemetics (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.06-2.17) vs black children. The proportion of patients with repeat visits was greater for black children (33%) than white children (22%; P < 0.001) and greater for Medicaid-insured (27%) than privately insured patients (21%; P < 0.01). Conclusions This cross-sectional database study demonstrated that black children and those with Medicaid insurance made more ED visits and received somewhat fewer treatments, which may be explained by greater use of the ED for routine care. An opportunity exists for better outpatient management of children with IBD so that nonemergent problems are more effectively handled.

description: This work is concerned with suitable choices of tetrad fields and coordinate systems for the Hamiltonian formalism of a spinning particle derived in [E. Barausse, E. Racine, and A. Buonanno, Phys. Rev. D 80, 104025 (2009)]. After demonstrating that with the originally proposed tetrad field the components of the total angular momentum are not preserved in the Schwarzschild limit, we analyze other hitherto proposed tetrad choices. Then, we introduce and thoroughly test two new tetrad fields in the horizon penetrating Kerr-Schild coordinates. Moreover, we show that for the Schwarzschild spacetime background the linearized in spin Hamiltonian corresponds to an integrable system, while for the Kerr spacetime we find chaos which suggests a nonintegrable system.

description: The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation has facilitated transformational research in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), through the RISK and PROTECT studies, that has laid the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of molecular mechanisms of disease and predictors of therapeutic response in children. Despite these advances, children have lacked timely and informed access to the latest therapeutic advancements in IBD. The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation convened a Pediatric Resource Organization for Kids with Inflammatory Intestinal Diseases (PRO-KIIDS) Clinical Innovations Meeting at the inaugural Crohn's and Colitis Congress in January 2018 to devise how to advance the care of children with IBD. The working group selected 2 priorities: (1) accelerating therapies to children with IBD and (2) stimulating investigator-initiated research while fostering sustainable collaboration; and proposed 2 actions: (a) the convening of a task force to specifically address how to accelerate pharmacotherapies to children with IBD and (b) the funding of a multicenter clinical and translational research study that incorporates the building of critical research infrastructure.

description: We address quantum communication channels based on phase modulation of coherent states and analyze in details the effects of static and dynamical (stochastic) phase diffusion. We evaluate mutual information for an ideal phase receiver and for a covariant phase-space-based receiver, and compare their performances by varying the number of symbols in the alphabet and/or the overall energy of the channel. Our results show that phase communication channels are generally robust against phase noise, especially for large alphabets in the low energy regime. In the presence of dynamical (non-Markovian) noise the mutual information is preserved by the time correlation of the environment, and when the noise spectra is detuned with respect to the information carrier, revivals of mutual information appears.

description: Background & Aims: Adults with ulcerative colitis (UC) who undergo colectomy at high-volume centers have better outcomes and fewer complications than those at low-volume centers. We aimed to evaluate the hospital volume of total abdominal colectomy (TAC) for pediatric patients with UC and explore time trends in the proportion of colectomies performed at high-volume centers. We then evaluated the association between hospital colectomy volume and complications. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of pediatric patients (age, ó18 y) hospitalized for UC using the Kids? Inpatient Database, a nationally representative database of pediatric hospitalizations. We identified UC hospitalizations with a procedural code (International Classification of Diseases, 9th or 10th revision) for TAC from 1997 through 2016. We defined complications using diagnosis codes adapted from published algorithms. We defined high-volume as hospitals that performed 10 or more TACs annually. We used multivariate statistics to evaluate the association between hospital volume and in-hospital complications. Results: A total of 1453 hospitalizations of children with UC included a TAC (2306 colectomies nationwide). A total of 766 hospitals performed 1 or more annual colectomies and only 36 (4.7%) were high-volume hospitals, accounting for 21% of colectomies. The proportion of colectomies at high-volume hospitals decreased over time. The absolute risk of complication was 16% at high-volume centers compared with 22% at low-volume centers (adjusted odds ratio, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.5?0.9). The effect of annual TAC volume on complication risk was not statistically significant for nonemergent admissions. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with UC who undergo colectomy at high-volume centers have fewer complications. However, only a small proportion of pediatric colectomies (<5%) are performed at high-volume centers.
A Cyclic Universe Approach to Fine Tuning

description: We present a closed bouncing universe model where the value of coupling constants is set by the dynamics of a ghost-like dilatonic scalar field. We show that adding a periodic potential for the scalar field leads to a cyclic Friedmann universe where the values of the couplings vary randomly from one cycle to the next. While the shuffling of values for the couplings happens during the bounce, within each cycle their time-dependence remains safely within present observational bounds for physically-motivated values of the model parameters. Our model presents an alternative to solutions of the fine tuning problem based on string landscape scenarios.

Year: 2018

description: The significant increase in pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease in recent decades appears to be a global phenomenon, with studies from multiple geographic areas noting an increase in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In this large, population-based cohort from northern France, the rapid increase in pediatric CD and UC from 1988-2011 may be due to multiple potential etiologies including environmental factors and advancements in diagnostic capabilities. We should consider the clinical implications of this rise in incidence, including potential risk stratification approaches that may offer the ability to modify the disease course of patients with earlier diagnosis.

description: We derive a new class of supersymmetric D3/D7 brane configurations, which allow to holographically describe N=4 SYM coupled to massive N=2 flavor degrees of freedom on spaces of constant curvature. We systematically solve the $κ$-symmetry condition for D7-brane embeddings into AdS$_4$-sliced AdS$_5\times$S$^5$, and find supersymmetric embeddings in a simple closed form. Up to a critical mass, these embeddings come in surprisingly diverse families, and we present a first study of their (holographic) phenomenology. We carry out the holographic renormalization, compute the one-point functions and attempt a field-theoretic interpretation of the different families. To complete the catalog of supersymmetric D3/D7 configurations, we construct analogous embeddings for flavored N=4 SYM on S$^4$ and dS$_4$.

description: Objectives: Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important treatment endpoints in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We evaluated the gastrointestinal (GI) PRO Measurement Information System (PROMIS) in IBD subjects. Methods: Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America's Partners is an Internet-based cohort of IBD subjects. Participants complete surveys, including demographics, disease characteristics, PROMIS domains, disease activity (short Crohn's disease activity index or simple clinical colitis activity index) and quality of life (QoL) indices. In a nested cross-sectional study, we used univariate and bivariate analyses to assess associations between 8 GI-PROMIS domains (reflux, swallowing, diarrhea, nausea, belly pain, gas, incontinence, and constipation) and QoL and disease activity indices. Results: The study included 2,378 Crohn's Disease (CD) and 1,455 ulcerative colitis (UC) respondents with a median age of 41 years. Median disease duration was 11 years for CD subjects and 8 years for UC subjects; 57% of CD subjects and 42% of UC subjects were in remission. Among symptomatic CD subjects, those with active CD reported significantly worse symptoms on all 8 domains than those in remission. The same was observed for UC subjects with the exception of disrupted swallowing. IBD subjects with worse QoL reported significantly worse symptoms on all 8 domains compared to those with better QoL. Conclusions: In IBD subjects experiencing GI symptoms, GI-PROMIS domains were strongly associated with disease activity and QoL indices. GI-PROMIS holds potential as PRO measures in IBD and correlates with other validated indices in this population.

description: We investigate the nature of a gravitational two-state system (G2S) in the simplest setup in Newtonian gravity. In a quantum description of matter a single motionless massive particle can in principle be in a superposition state of two spatially-separated locations. This superposition state in gravity, or gravitational cat state, would lead to fluctuations in the Newtonian force exerted on a nearby test particle. The central quantity of importance for this inquiry is the energy density correlation. This corresponds to the noise kernel in stochastic gravity theory, evaluated in the weak field nonrelativistic limit. In this limit, quantum fluctuations of the stress energy tensor manifest as the fluctuations of the Newtonian force. We describe the properties of such a G2S system and present two ways of measuring the cat state for the Newtonian force, one by way of a classical probe, the other a quantum harmonic oscillator. Our findings include: (i) mass density fluctuations persist even in single particle systems, and they are of the same order of magnitude as the mean; (ii) a classical probe generically records a non-Markovian fluctuating force; (iii) a quantum probe interacting with the G2S system may undergo Rabi oscillations in a strong coupling regime. This simple prototypical gravitational quantum system could provide a robust testing ground to compare predictions from alternative quantum theories, since the results reported here are based on standard quantum mechanics and classical gravity.

description: Background: To build a Patient-Powered Research Networks (PPRN) that prioritizes the needs of its members who have inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), we sought to better understand patients' preferences for what are the essential features that will facilitate and sustain engagement. Methods: We conducted a two-phase qualitative study. Seven focus groups involving 62 participants with IBD were conducted (phase 1). Focus group results informed the phase 2 cognitive interviews, which included 13 phone interviews. Topics included experiences with IBD and research, PPRN engagement, patient-generated health data, and resources/tools to facilitate self-management. All focus groups and interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed in ATLAS.ti 7.5. Thematic categories were derived from the data, and codes were grouped into emergent themes and relationships. Results: Four major themes emerged through inductive coding: (1) the impact of knowing; (2) participation barriers and challenges; (3) engagement and collaboration; and (4) customizable patient portal features/functionalities. Participants were motivated to participate in the PPRN because the knowledge gained from research studies would benefit both society and the individual. Main concerns included credibility of online resources, pharmaceutical industry profiting from their data, data security, and participation expectations. Participants wanted a true and equal partnership in every phase of building a PPRN. Participants felt it was important to have access to personal health records and be able to track health status and symptoms. Conclusion: Partnering with participants throughout PPRN development was critical to understanding the needs and preferences of patients with IBDs and for shaping engagement strategies and the portal's design.

description: Background: Marijuana is legal in a number of states for indications that include inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and patients are interested in its potential benefits. Aims: We aimed to describe the legal use of marijuana in individuals with IBD in the USA who participate within the CCFA Partners internet-based cohort. Methods: A total of 2357 participants who lived in states where prescription or recreational marijuana was legal, were offered the opportunity to complete a survey on marijuana use and IBD symptoms including perceived benefits of therapy. Bivariate statistics and logistic regression models were used to determine factors associated with marijuana use. Results: Surveys were completed by 1666 participants (71%) with only 214 (12.8%) indicating they had asked their medical doctor about its use and 73 actually using prescribed marijuana (4.4%). Within the respondent group (N = 1666), 234 participants lived where both medical and recreational marijuana is legal and 49 (20.9%) reported recreational marijuana use specifically for IBD. Users reported positive benefits (80.7%), but users also reported more depression, anxiety, pain interference, and lower social satisfaction than non-users. Those prescribed marijuana reported more active disease, and more use of steroids, narcotics, and zolpidem. Conclusions: Few IBD patients consulted their medical doctors about marijuana use or used prescription marijuana. Where recreational marijuana was available, usage rates were higher. Users reported benefits but also more IBD symptoms, depression, anxiety, and pain. Marijuana use may be higher in patients with IBD symptoms not well treated by conventional medical approaches.

description: Background: Aspects of sexual health, which can be adversely affected by chronic disease, have been inadequately explored in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Aims: We evaluated patient-reported interest in sexual activity and satisfaction with sex life in a large cohort of IBD patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study within the Crohn?s and Colitis Foundation Partners Internet cohort. Sequential participants completed a 6-question supplemental online survey to examine sexual interest and satisfaction using the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System? (PROMIS?) Sexual Function and Satisfaction measures. One-sample t tests were used to compare interest and satisfaction scores to general population norms. Results: Among 2569 individuals, 1639 had Crohn?s disease (CD), 930 had ulcerative colitis (UC) or indeterminate colitis, and 71% were women. Mean PROMIS scores for sexual interest were comparable to the general US population in men (CD: 49 and UC: 48 vs. population mean 50) and women (CD: 41 and UC: 40 vs. population mean 42). However, sexual satisfaction scores were lower than the US population in men (CD: 48 and UC: 48 vs. 51) and women (CD: 47 and UC: 46 vs. 49), p < 0.01 for both. Older age, disease activity, depression, anxiety, and pain were associated with lower interest and satisfaction and lowered IBD-specific quality of life. Conclusions: IBD patients in a large online survey had similar levels of sexual interest but decreased sexual satisfaction compared to the general population. Exploring these sexual health domains during clinical encounters can aid in improving IBD quality of life.

description: The impact of obesity on pediatric Crohn disease (CD) remains poorly characterized. We aimed to evaluate disease-related outcomes in overweight and obese children with CD, compared to normal-weight children. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children with newly diagnosed CD enrolled in the ImproveCareNow Network. Patients were stratified into normal weight, overweight, and obese groups using standardized weight percentiles. A total of 898 children were included, with 87 children (10%) being overweight and 43 children (5%) being obese; baseline characteristics were similar between groups. There was no significant difference in number of visits in remission during 1 year between normal weight, overweight, and obese children. At 1-year follow-up, nutritional status, growth status, or medication use also did not differ between groups. Hence, obesity does not appear to adversely affect CD outcomes in children with newly diagnosed CD in the first year after diagnosis.

description: A field test held in the Hopi Buttes, Arizona, was planned to test geological, geophysical, and analytical operations and instruments that are of potential use in Apollo Extension Systems lunar surface missions. The test was conducted under "shirt-sleeve" conditions, but potentially useful methods of recording and compiling information during lunar exploration were employed. The test showed that by using specially planned procedures, field and analytical information can be evaluated during field operations and compiled at a location that is remote from the field. It also showed that the more information that is analyzed as operations progress, the more effectively can succeeding operations be conducted. Experience in field operations under these conditions appears to be a major factor in collecting and analyzing critical scientific information.

description: Background: Previous reports have shown differences in phenotypes among black patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared with other racial groups, but prior studies were limited by small numbers of black patients and cross-sectional analyses. We used data from the Sinai-Helmsley Alliance for Research Excellence cohort to compare phenotypes and treatment patterns of black and white patients with IBD in a prospective study. Methods: We compared phenotypes, IBD-specific therapies, and health care utilization among black and white patients with IBD. For all analyses, we performed bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression to adjust for potential confounders. Results: Among 5537 patients with IBD, 314 (6%) reported black race. Black patients were more likely to report a Crohn's disease (CD)-related complication at baseline (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.44; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.95). Black patients with CD were more likely to develop a new abscess (aOR, 2.27; 95% CI, 1.31-3.93) and initiate an anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy during follow-up (aOR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.09-3.14). Black patients with ulcerative colitis were more likely to have proctitis (24% vs 13%, P = 0.033) at baseline. There were no differences in surgery or hospitalization rates during the follow-up period. Conclusions: Black patients with CD demonstrated increased complications at baseline and during follow-up in this cohort. Despite more complicated disease, black and white patients with IBD were generally given the same medications and experienced similar rates of hospitalization and surgery during the study period. In our multicenter cohort, clinical outcomes among black and white patients with IBD were similar.
Parking functions and tree inversions revisited

description: Kreweras proved that the reversed sum enumerator for parking functions of length $n$ is equal to the inversion enumerator for labeled trees on $n+1$ vertices. Recently, Perkinson, Yang, and Yu gave a bijective proof of this equality that moreover generalizes to graphical parking functions. Using a depth-first search variant of Dhar's burning algorithm they proved that the codegree enumerator for $G$-parking functions equals the $κ$-number enumerator for spanning trees of $G$. The $κ$-number is a kind of generalized tree inversion number originally defined by Gessel. We extend the work of Perkinson-Yang-Yu to what are referred to as "generalized parking functions" in the literature, but which we prefer to call vector parking functions because they depend on a choice of vector $\mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{N}^n$. Specifically, we give an expression for the reversed sum enumerator for $\mathbf{x}$-parking functions in terms of inversions in rooted plane trees with respect to certain admissible vertex orders. Along the way we clarify the relationship between graphical and vector parking functions.

description: Efforts to improve healthcare quality were firmly established before the Institute of Medicine (IOM) historic 2000 and 2001 reports, To Err is Human Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century Despite the long-standing healthcare quality improvement (QI) efforts that date back to the turn of the 20 th century, the IOM reports significantly advanced the awareness of healthcare quality deficits and the resulting risk to patients from those gaps in care. Studies immediately following the IOM reports emphasized and verified the presence of detrimental care gaps and highlighted a myriad of contributing factors. Studies focused specifically on the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, demonstrated suboptimal patient outcomes stemming from, in part, system and provider variation. In the years that have followed, research studies have shown the persistence of suboptimal outcomes in IBD despite an awareness of key drivers for poor care quality and concerted efforts in advancing QI initiatives. In 2017, IBD advocacy groups and provider networks have demonstrated progress in furthering both pediatric and adult IBD outcomes through the use of QI methods and tools including collaborative learning networks. A significant amount of work lies ahead, however, to build upon these advances and improve IBD outcomes further. This article reviews the history of quality initiatives in healthcare, identifies ongoing gaps in IBD care with a review of current IBD improvement efforts taking place, and identifies several targets for improving IBD care quality moving forward into the 21st century.
