description: To evaluate the effects of delayed cord clamping on neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in infants born to patients diagnosed with pre-gestational diabetes (type I or type II). In January 2016, our institution implemented an organization-wide thirty-second delayed cord clamping protocol. This retrospective cross-sectional study represents infants of mothers diagnosed with pre-gestational diabetes who delivered before and after protocol implementation. The study period was from October 2014 to August 2017. The primary outcome was peak neonatal transcutaneous bilirubin (mg/dL) level during neonatal hospital stay. The secondary outcomes included neonatal serum bilirubin (mg/dL), jaundice requiring phototherapy, hypoglycemia, polycythemia, respiratory distress, and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. A subgroup analysis for outcomes stratified by type of pre-gestational diabetes was also performed. 145 patients were included in the final analysis. The mean peak neonatal transcutaneous bilirubin level was 10.1 mg/dL ± 3.4 mg/dL for immediate cord clamping and 9.5 mg/dL ± 3.4 mg/dL for delayed cord clamping (p = .25). There were no significant differences between groups for neonatal jaundice requiring phototherapy, hypoglycemia, polycythemia, respiratory distress, or NICU admission. No differences were observed in neonatal outcome by subgroup analysis of pre-gestational diabetes type. In our study, there was no significant increase in peak neonatal transcutaneous bilirubin in term (≥37 week) infants of mothers with pre-gestational diabetes after undergoing thirty-seconds of delayed cord clamping. In the absence of contraindications, we advocate for continued use of delayed cord clamping for these infants.

description: The Seed Voucher System (SVS) was adopted by the Emergency Rice Initiative (ERI) to grant farmers access to certified improved seed, in order to mitigate the adverse effect of the 2008 global food crisis on resource poor farmers in rural Nigeria. This study examined the impact of the SVS on income inequality reduction and rice income per hectare among rice farming households in Nigeria. Structured questionnaire was used to collect Baseline (2008) and post-voucher (2010) data, using multistage sampling procedure. Using Randomized Control Trial approach, 160 farmers out of the 600 rice farmers randomly selected in 2008 received the seed voucher (treated), and others did not (control). The results revealed that poverty and income inequality declined significantly after the intervention. The SVS also lead to significant increase in rice income per hectare. Therefore, the use of seed vouches to grant farmers access to production inputs could actually be a way out of the endemic poverty situation in rural Nigeria and can also be used to redistribute income among rural households in Nigeria.

description: POLARUSCHAKOV PETTIBONE, 1976
 Polaruschakov Pettibone, 1976: 55. – Uschakov, 1982: 124 (translated version). – Jirkov, 2001: 133. – Barnich & Fiege, 2003: 92.
 Type species: Macellicephala polaris Uschakov, 1957.
 Diagnosis (emended): Short body, dorsoventrally flattened, up to 25 segments. Frontal filaments absent. Eyesabsent.Medianandlateralantennaeabsent.Facial tubercle absent. Reduced palpophores. Tentacular segment fused with prostomium, tentaculophores without acicula or chaetae. Pharynx with seven pairs of distal papillae; two pairs of jaws with smooth margins or with a secondary small tooth (Polaruschakov lamellae sp. nov. and Polaruschakov omnesae sp. nov.). Dorsal tubercles present (Polaruschakov lamellae sp. nov. and Polaruschakov polaris) or absent (Polaruschakov reyssi, Polaruschakov limaae sp. nov. and Polaruschakov omnesae sp. nov.). Elytrophores prominent, up to ten pairs, on segments 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19. Parapodia subbiramous, notopodia shorter than neuropodia; noto- and neuropodia with elongate acicular lobe; tips of noto- and neuroaciculae not penetrating epidermis. Notochaetae distally with spinous rows; notochaetae more slender than neurochaetae. Neurochaetae numerous, serrated along both margins. From segment 3, ventral cirri inserted medially on neuropodia. Nephridial papillae small. Pygidium small, with terminal anus.
 Remarks: The diagnosis of genus Polaruschakov is emended to include the following characters observed in the new species described below: jaws with small secondary tooth on margin and absence of flattened scale-like structures on segment 6. As highlighted for Hodor gen. nov., this feature, occasionally present on anterior segments, is likely to be a reproductive character, as suggested by its presence or absence without pattern among the taxa belonging to the Anantennata clade (i.e. without median and lateral antennae).

description: We report here an extensive study of sustained oscillations of the viscosity of a complex fluid near an out-of-equilibrium transition. Using well defined protocols, we perform rheological measurements of the onion texture near a layering transition in a Couette flow. This complex fluid exhibits sustained oscillations of the viscosity, on a large time scale (500s) at controlled stress. These oscillations are directly correlated to an oscillating microstrutural change of the texture of the fluid. We observe a great diversity of dynamical behavior and we show that there is a coupling with spatial effects in the gradient v direction. This is in agreement with a carefull analysis of the temporal series of the viscosity with the dynamical system theory. This analysis indicates that the observed dynamical responses do not strictly correspond to 3-dimensional chaotic states, probably because some spatio-temporal effects are present and are likely to play an important role.

description: In its December 2019 edition, the \textit{Notices of the American Mathematical Society} published an essay critical of the use of diversity statements in academic hiring. The publication of this essay prompted many responses, including three public letters circulated within the mathematical sciences community. Each letter was signed by hundreds of people and was published online, also by the American Mathematical Society. We report on a study of the signatories' demographics, which we infer using a crowdsourcing approach. Letter A highlights diversity and social justice. The pool of signatories contains relatively more individuals inferred to be women and/or members of underrepresented ethnic groups. Moreover, this pool is diverse with respect to the levels of professional security and types of academic institutions represented. Letter B does not comment on diversity, but rather, asks for discussion and debate. This letter was signed by a strong majority of individuals inferred to be white men in professionally secure positions at highly research intensive universities. Letter C speaks out specifically against diversity statements, calling them "a mistake," and claiming that their usage during early stages of faculty hiring "diminishes mathematical achievement." Individuals who signed both Letters B and C, that is, signatories who both privilege debate and oppose diversity statements, are overwhelmingly inferred to be tenured white men at highly research intensive universities. Our empirical results are consistent with theories of power drawn from the social sciences.

description: The search for Cosmic-Ray Ensembles (CRE), groups of correlated cosmic rays that might be distributed over very large areas, even of the size of the planet, requires a globally spread and dense network of detectors, as proposed by the Cosmic-Ray Extremely Distributed Observatory (CREDO) Collaboration. This proposal motivates an effort towards exploring the potential of using even very much diversified detection technologies within one system, with detection units located even in hard-to-reach places, where, nevertheless, the sensors could work independently - without human intervention. For these reasons we have developed a dedicated communication solution enabling the connection of many different types of detectors, in a range of environments. The proposed data transmission system uses radio waves as an information carrier on the 169MHz frequency band in a contrast to the typical commercially used frequencies in a IoT systems (868MHz). The connectivity within the system is based on the star topology, which ensures the least energy consumption. The solution is now being prepared to being implemented using the prototype detection system based on the CosmicWatch open hardware design: a portable, pocket size, and economy particle detector using the scintillation technique. Our prototype detector is equipped with a dedicated software that integrates it with the already operational CREDO server system.

description: Jatropha projects have been set up worldwide as solution to reduce competition between food and biofuel production. Jatropha is mostly produced on marginal land in developing countries and production is labour-intensive. The subject of this study is an existing Jatropha plantation in central Madagascar. The aims are to assess whether large-scale Jatropha plantations offer sufficient income possibilities to contribute to poverty alleviation and food security. The results show that incomes and food security improved in 2008 due to income generated on the plantation, but deteriorated between 2008 and 2010 mostly due to a decline in agricultural yields for climatic reasons. We find weak evidence that households working for the plantation experienced less reduction in incomes and expenditures than control households. The majority of households did not reduce agricultural production; plantation workers are mostly poorer farmers who need an additional income source.

Here we report on progress towards the development of an 87Rb BEC experiment in a large (~10cm diameter) toroidal storage ring. A BEC will be formed at a localised region within the toroidal magnetic trap, from whence it can be launched around the torus. The benefits of the system are many-fold, as it should readily enable detailed investigations of persistent currents, Josephson effects, phase fluctuations and high-precision Sagnac or gravitational interferometry.

description: Policymakers are increasingly calling upon agricultural research managers to consider poverty reduction objectives when making resource allocations. The authors present a simple method to measure the impact of agricultural research on the poor. This method has the advantage that it presents the results in a manner consistent with commonly used measures of poverty. This consistency and focus should facilitate and enhance dialogue between policymakers and research managers when deciding on resource allocations and assessing impacts on poverty reduction. An illustrative application is presented using data from Malawi.

description: BATHYLEVENSTEINA PETTIBONE, 1976
 Type species: Bathylevensteina bicornis (Levenstein, 1962).
 The genus is monotypic. The type species was originally described as Macellicephala by Levenstein (1962), who described a particular shape of the prostomium, ending with ‘bifurcate frontal horns’. Pettibone (1976) incorrectly considered these frontal horns as lateral antennae inserted medially. Later, Pettibone (1994) corrected this interpretation and placed Bathylevensteina within the subfamily Macellicephalinae.

description: This thesis explores the mobility choices of South Asian immigrants in Australia. By using various datasets, the research in this thesis addresses the unique travel patterns and lifestyle choices that set them apart from native-born Australians, including less travel by car and more travel by public transport and active travel. Unfortunately, this evolves into high levels of car-dependency over time due to concerns with and perceived higher costs of non-car modes of travel. With Australia’s population growth fuelled by incoming immigrants of various cultural backgrounds, such research has the potential to better understand and serve their, and the broader population’s, travel needs.

description: In this paper, the price dynamics of a rice market are examined using dynamic programming techniques. The model is parameterised to the case of Bangladesh and thus represents the situation of a very poor country which has characteristically high price elasticity (due to income effects) and high storage and interest costs. The incentives for private sector storage and its impact on price stability are examined. Various options for public intervention in the storage sector are also explored, including price ceiling schemes and subsidisation of storage costs. Results show that interventions that remove private disincentives (such as storage subsidies) are much cheaper than direct intervention by government, but the impact on the probability distribution of prices is quite different. The effect of trade on the probability distribution of prices is also examined. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

description: We investigate electron-phonon coupling in many-electron systems using dynamical mean-field theory in combination with the numerical renormalization group. This non-perturbative method reveals significant precursor effects to the gap formation at intermediate coupling strengths. The emergence of a soft phonon mode and very strong lattice fluctuations can be understood in terms of Kondo-like physics due to the development of a double-well structure in the effective potential for the ions.

description: This paper presents the mechanical properties data and constitutive model of S32001 stainless steel at elevated temperatures. S32001 stainless steel is a new type of duplex stainless steel, with good corrosion resistance and higher strength. Its yield strength at room temperature is about 1.9 times that of S304 and S316 series stainless steels, while the nickel element content is only 1 %~3 %. When used as structural steel, S32001 has good economy and significant advantages. Therefore, the high-temperature steady-state tensile test study of S32001 duplex stainless steel was conducted, and the main mechanical property indexes such as initial modulus of elasticity, nominal yield strength, tensile strength and elongation after fracture, etc. at elevated temperatures were obtained and compared with other types of stainless steel and Q235B structural steel. The applicability of Rasmussen model and Gardner model was studied using the test data, and the constitutive relation expression at elevated temperatures was established based on Rasmussen model. The study shows that the yield strength and ultimate strength of S32001 stainless steel decreases with increase of temperature, which is lower than 50 % at room temperature at 600°C, but the material strength at elevated temperatures is significantly higher than that of S30408 stainless steel, which has more superior fire resistance properties. The results of this paper can be used in the study of structural fire performance and fire resistance design.

description: We present lattice QCD results for mesonic screening masses in the temperature range 140 MeV $\lesssim T \lesssim$ 2500 MeV. Our calculations were carried out using (2+1)-flavors of the Highly Improved Staggered Quark (HISQ) action, with a physical value for the strange quark mass and two values of the light quark mass corresponding to pion masses of 160 MeV and 140 MeV. Continuum-extrapolated results were obtained using calculations with a variety of lattice spacings corresponding to temporal lattice extents $N_τ= 6 - 16$. We discuss the implications of these results for the effective restoration of various symmetries in the high temperature phase of QCD, as well as the approach toward the perturbative limit.

description: The livestock sector is emerging as one of the fastest growing agricultural sub-sectors in India and the expectations are that this growth could further accelerate due to growing incomes and the high income elasticity of demand for livestock products. Given the size and relatively equitable distribution of livestock in India, this presents an excellent opportunity for the country to boost rural incomes and accelerate the pace of poverty reduction. But, successful capitalisation of such opportunities requires a policy regime that facilitates growth in productivity at the farm level as well as in the processing sector. The productive potential of animals depends crucially on the quality of nutrition, genetic material and the animal health system, and on all these counts, India has a poor record. The public sector continues to be the primary provider of veterinary services, and the deteriorating fiscal situation of most state governments is making it extremely difficult to either expand the reach of these services or improve the quality of service delivery. Although, on efficiency grounds, there is good rationale for commercialised delivery of these services, serious concerns prevail in India about the equity implications of private sector delivery or full cost recovery within the government system. Evaluation of the desirability of user fees or private delivery of livestock services requires an understanding of the factors influencing the demand for these services. This paper examines the nature of demand for veterinary services in three states of India and presents first estimates of demand elasticities for veterinary services. The results indicate that price is not an important determinant of the decision to use these services. Also, practically no variation is found in price elasticities across income groups. These results suggest that the fears of sharp declines in the use of these services as a result of full cost recovery and/or private sector delivery are unfounded. © 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

description: We study two sets of rate equations for sympathetic cooling of harmonically trapped Bose gases. Calculations for mixtures of Na-Rb and Li-Cs show that both sets yield similar results for the cooling times. The equilibration rates are in fair agreement with each other and differ considerably from classical rates. The onset of Bose-Einstein condensation is rather sudden and non-exponential in time, and the growth of the condensate differs for the two different mixtures we studied.

description: We show that during evaporation of a pore network, liquid can refill the gas occupied pores, snapping off a gas bubble, which then moves to a stable configuration. This phenomenon is induced by the capillary instability due to the wettability heterogeneity of the pore network and has a much smaller time scale as compared to the evaporation process. The capillary instability induced liquid refilling and bubble movement are explained in detail based on the analysis of the images obtained from the visualization experiment. The capillary valve effect, which hinders the movement of the gas-liquid interface and is induced by the sudden geometrical expansion between small and large pores, can be suppressed by the residual liquid in the large pore. For better understanding of the capillary instability induced gas-liquid two-phase transport during evaporation, a novel pore network model is developed, which considers not only the capillary and viscous forces but also the inertial forces that are seldom taken into account in the previous models. The pore network modeling results are in good agreement with the experimental data, demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed pore network model, which opens up a new route for better understanding of the role of inertial forces in two-phase transport in porous media.

description: Electron and phonon transient temperatures are analyzed in the case of nondegenerate semiconductors. An analytical solution is obtained for rectangular laser pulse absorption. It is shown that thermal diffusion is the main energy relaxation mechanism in the phonon subsystem. The mechanism depends on the correlation between the sample length and the electron cooling length in an electron subsystem. Energy relaxation occurs by means of the electron thermal diffusion in thin samples (), and by means of the electron-phonon energy interaction in thick samples (). Characteristic relaxation times are obtained for all the cases, and analysis of these times is made. Electron and phonon temperature distributions in short and long samples are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed for different correlations between the laser pulse duration and characteristic times.

description: To synthesize the current evidence for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the human milk of mothers with confirmed COVID-19 and its potential role in neonatal SARS-CoV-2 infection. Using terms related to novel coronavirus 2019 and human milk, a systematic search was performed in three electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science) for studies published between December 2019 and 15 October 2020. Published peer-reviewed studies reporting the results of RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2 RNA in human milk in mothers with confirmed COVID-19 were included. Proportion meta-analysis of case series and prospective cohort studies was performed using STATA version 14.2 (StataCorp, College Station, TX) and pooled estimate (with 95% confidence interval) of overall incidence of SARS-CoV-2 transmission was calculated. We identified 936 records, of which 34 studies (24 case-reports, 10 cohort studies) were eligible for this systematic review. A total of 116 confirmed COVID-19 lactating women (88 in cohort and 28 in case-reports) underwent RT-PCR testing in human milk, and 10 (six in case reports) were detected to have SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The overall pooled proportion (from cohort studies) for SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection in human milk was 2.16% (95% CI: 0.0–8.81%, I2: 0%). Four studies (six patients) also reported the presence of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies (along with RT-PCR) in human milk. The limited low-quality evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 RNA is detected in human milk in an extremely low proportion, however, based on current evidence no conclusion can be drawn about its infectivity and impact on the infants. In concordance with World Health Organization recommendations, exclusive breastfeeding should be considered in all cases unless any other contraindication exists.

description: BATHYMACELLA PETTIBONE, 1976
 Type species: Bathymacella uschakovi (Averincev, 1972).
 The genus is monotypic. The type species was originally described and placed close to Macellicephala, Macellicephaloides and Macelloides as having no lateral antennae (Averincev, 1972; Hartmann-Schröder, 1974). Later, Pettibone (1976) revised the genus considering that the lateral prostomial horns described by Averincev (1972) were, in fact, lateral antennae. There are some misunderstandings and confusions between frontal filaments, frontal horns, cephalic peaks or lateral antennae in descriptions of polynoids. Further investigation of polynoid anatomy is required to gain a better understanding of these structures and their differences. In the present study, this species has been coded as having a median antenna and no lateral antennae.

title: ‘Diagnosis of the diagnosis’: Spheres of action in pedagogical diagnosis with reference to the pedagogical translation of a disciplinary collaboration between Medicine, Psychology and Educational Science

description: At the separation between humanities and natural sciences, the disciplines of pedagogy, psychology and medicine come to a meeting point in join endeavors. Researchers in working fields that involve engaging in empirical studies and analysis of theories contribute with study designs to a loop in human development that can be represented by complexity theories. Specifically, human development mainly concerns who we are as time shifts. This dissertation theorizes about the immense range of meanings of theories, presenting open questions associated with advanced technological results and fundamental propositions using collaborative disciplinary models, internal dynamics of subject-matters and theoretical markers for diagnosis. Drawing on Elmar Anhalt’s (2012) complexity theory of education and Thomas Rucker’s (2014) complexity theory of Bildung, I have confronted their work with the challenge of disciplinary collaboration in a medical school to preserve the ‘diagnosis concept’ out of the complexity in a pedagogical perspective. The combination of pedagogical object and the reality of education is used to review some of the history of academic traditions concerning universities, procedures by which theories are built and social contexts for the relationship between experts and interested persons. I identified that such a relationship is a key to success in delivering results outside of a conservative approach to pedagogy. Unlike all previous pedagogical approaches, I invite the reader to discuss, through socio-historical cues, how healthcare projects systematically produce synthetic constructs that engage epistemic cultures and possible worlds of education to assess a context according to a shared reality.

description: The purpose of the paper is to research the vocational education needs of Ukrainian universities’ librarians in order to acquire / update competencies under the circumstances of rapid technological, social and economic change. The results were obtained through an online survey conducted by The Section of the University Libraries of the Ukrainian Library Association. The online questionnaire consisted of six logically related sections designed to find out the following: demographic characteristics, the attitude to the need for continuous vocational education, the knowledge level, skills and abilities based on self-examination, effective education forms, motivating and restraining factors, peculiarities of information perception, etc. The findings demonstrated that librarians are cognizant of the necessity for continuing professional development in order to implement changes. Another important finding is that there is a demand for professional development programs. The findings are important because they specify the range of topics, skills, abilities that librarians feel the necessity for, as well as the priorities in choosing the convenient educational forms. The study is also intended to contribute towards the development of appropriate curricula, resources, and services for advanced training.

description: Home treatment (HT) represents a team-based community mental health service for patients in acute mental health crises, providing an alternative to a hospital stay. Enhancing mental health services within the community is an ongoing concern in many industrial countries that originated in the deinstitutionalisation of mental health care. Both, implementing new mental health care services, as well as conducting experimental studies on those services within routine clinical settings bring about particular challenges. The aim of this thesis is to outline key factors associated with the successful study and implementation of HT.

Three empirical studies were conducted for this thesis; all of them are based on an extensive research project (N=707) accompanying the introduction of a new HT service to the Canton of Aargau, Switzerland.

The first study examines the validity of psychiatric diagnoses obtained by clinicians during routine clinical examinations for a subsample of the main HT study project. The second study analyses stakeholders’ perspectives, aiming to identify effective components of HT and to evaluate the implementation of the new HT service. And the third study aims to refine patient suitability for HT using patient characteristics.

Insights of theses three studies are reviewed and implications for research and practice are outlined in a general discussion within this thesis.
Phase transition and chaos in charged SYK model

description: We study chaotic-integrable transition and the nature of quantum chaos in SYK model with chemical potential. We use a novel numerical technique to calculate the partition function explicitly. We show the phase transition in the presence of large chemical potential. We also show that a mass-like term consisting of two fermion random interaction (q=2 SYK term) does not give rise to a sharp transition. We find that turning on the chemical potential suppresses the Lyapunov exponent in the chaotic phase exponentially.

description: We study the discovery prospect of different three body lepton number violating~(LNV) meson decays $M_{1}^{-}\to\ell_{1}^{-}\ell_{2}^{-}M_{2}^{+}$ in the framework of right handed~(RH) neutrino extended Standard Model~(SM). We consider a number of ongoing experiments, such as, NA62 and LHCb at CERN, Belle II at SuperKEK, as well as at the proposed future experiments, SHiP, MATHUSLA and FCC-ee. The RH Majorana neutrino $N$ mediating these meson decays provides a resonant enhancement of the rates, if the mass of $N$ lies in the range $(100\, \text{MeV}-6\, \text{GeV})$. We consider the effect of parent mesons velocity, as well as, the effect of finite detector size. Using the expected upper limits on the number of events for the LNV decay modes, $M_{1}^{-} \to\ell_1^{-}\ell_2^{-}π^{+}$~($M_{1}=B, B_c,D, D_{s}\,\text{and}\,K$), we analyze the sensitivity reach of the mixing angles $|V_{e N}|^{2}$, $|V_{μN}|^{2}$, $|V_{τN}|^{2}$, $|V_{e N}V_{μN}|$, $|V_{e N}V_{τN}|$ and $|V_{μN}V_{τN}|$ as a function of heavy neutrino mass $M_{N}$. We show that, inclusion of parent meson velocity can account to a large difference for active-sterile mixing, specially for $D$, $D_s$ meson decay at SHiP and $K$ meson decay at NA62. Taking into account the velocity of the $D_s$ meson, the future beam dump experiment SHiP can probe $|V_{eN}|^2 \sim 10^{-9}$. For RH neutrino mass in between 2 - 5 GeV, MATHUSLA can provide best sensitivity reach of active-sterile mixings.

description: We have studied the structure of the superconducting gap in MgB2 thin films by means of point-contact spectroscopy using a gold tip. The films were produced by depositing pure boron on a sapphire substrate, using e-beam evaporation, followed by reaction with magnesium vapour. The films have a Tc of 38.6 +- 0.3 K and resistivity of about 20 microOhm cm at 40 K. The point-contact spectra prove directly the existence of a multi-valued order parameter in MgB2, with two distinct values of the gap, DELTA1=2.3+-0.3 meV and DELTA2=6.2+-0.7 meV at 4.2 K. Analysis of the spectra in terms of the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk model reveals that both gaps close simultaneously at the Tc of the film. Possible mechanisms that can explain the intrinsic co-existence of two values of the gap are discussed.
