description: Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have been used to encapsulate an array of enzymes in a rapid and facile manner; however, the stability of MOFs as supports for enzymes has not been examined in detail. This study examines the stability of MOFs with different compositions (Fe-BTC, Co-TMA, Ni-TMA, Cu-TMA, and ZIF-zni) in buffered solutions commonly used in enzyme immobilization and biocatalysis. Stability was assessed via quantification of the release of metals by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The buffers used had varied effects on different MOF supports, with incubation of all MOFs in buffers resulting in the release of metal ions to varying extents. Fe-BTC was completely dissolved in citrate, a buffer that has a profound destabilizing effect on all MOFs analyzed, precluding its use with MOFs. MOFs were more stable in acetate, potassium phosphate, and Tris HCl buffers. The results obtained provide a guide for the selection of an appropriate buffer with a particular MOF as a support for the immobilization of an enzyme. In addition, these results identify the requirement to develop methods of improving the stability of MOFs in aqueous solutions. The use of polymer coatings was evaluated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) providing an improved level of stability. Lipase was immobilized in Fe-BTC with PAA coating, resulting in a stable biocatalyst with retention of activity in comparison to the free enzyme.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: Community based health insurance scheme is an effective financing mechanism to help people who are unable to use health care services due to financial problem. CBHI schemes is based on the premises of risk-pooling and community solidarity to risks of falling sick and designed to provide financial protection and reduce out-of-pocket health care expenditure. Objective: To assess willingness to pay for community based health insurance among households in the rural community of Wondo District, West Arsi Zone, Oromia region, south East Ethiopia, 2017. Methods: Community based Cross sectional study design was employed to collect the data. Two stage sampling technique was used to select 499 households as study units which were allocated to the kebeles proportionately.The study population was households that were not enrolled into community based health insurance scheme at the time of study. Data was collected from a total 499 respondents using a structured pre tested questionnaire. The data was cleaned, coded, entered into EPI-INFO version 7 software and transferred and analyzed using SPSS computer software package version 21. Results: Among 499 study participants, 439 (88%) were expressed their willingness to join the schemes, from these 292 (66.5%) were willingness to pay community based health insurance scheme. The mean amount of money household heads willing to pay was 209.65(+21) birr (10USD) per house hold per annual. Based on the logistic regression model, the odds of willingness to pay were likely to be significantly higher among those who attended at least primary education and those with higher income and elderly. Conclusion and Recommendation: The willingness to pay for the community-based health insurance scheme in the study area was high. The scheme may need to give special considerations for the young age group, low income and uneducated households.

description: Precise measurements of the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background can be used to constrain the annihilation and decay of dark matter. In this work, we demonstrate via principal component analysis that the imprint of dark matter decay on the cosmic microwave background can be approximately parameterized by a single number for any given dark matter model. We develop a simple prescription for computing this model-dependent detectability factor, and demonstrate how this approach can be used to set model-independent bounds on a large class of decaying dark matter scenarios. We repeat our analysis for decay lifetimes shorter than the age of the universe, allowing us to set constraints on metastable species other than the dark matter decaying at early times, and decays that only liberate a tiny fraction of the dark matter mass energy. We set precise bounds and validate our principal component analysis using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach and Planck 2015 data.

description: We construct a 1D model Hamiltonian of spinless fermions for which the spinless analogue of $η$-pairing states are quantum many-body scars of the model. These states are excited states and display subvolume entanglement entropy scaling; they form a tower of states that are equally spaced in energy (resulting in periodic oscillations in the Loschmidt echo and in the time evolution of observables for initial states prepared in a superposition of them) and are atypical in the sense that they weakly break the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, while the other excited states are thermal. We extend the approach by presenting models with a tower of scar states generated by multimers located at the edge of the Brillouin zone.

description: We report on a novel dynamic phase in electrical networks, in which current channels perpetually change in time. This occurs when the individual elements of the network are fuse-antifuse devices, namely, become insulators within a certain finite interval of local applied voltages. As a consequence, the macroscopic current exhibits temporal fluctuations which increase with system size. We determine the conditions under which this exotic situation appears by establishing a phase diagram as a function of the applied field and the size of the insulating window. Besides its obvious application as a versatile electronic device, due to its rich variety of behaviors, this network model provides a possible description for particle-laden flow through porous media leading to dynamical clogging and reopening of the local channels in the pore space.

Towards personalised and human-in-the-loop document summarisation
Creators: name: Ghodratnama, Samira
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The ubiquitous availability of computing devices and the widespread use of the internet have generated a large amount of data continuously. Therefore, the amount of available information on any given topic is far beyond humans’ processing capacity to properly process, causing what is known as ‘information overload’. To efficiently cope with large amounts of information and generate content with significant value to users, we require identifying, merging and summarising information. Data summaries can help gather related information and collect it into a shorter format that enables answering complicated questions, gaining new insight and discovering conceptual boundaries. This thesis focuses on three main challenges to alleviate information overload using novel summarisation techniques. It further intends to facilitate the analysis of documents to support personalised information extraction. This thesis separates the research issues into four areas, covering (i) feature engineering in document summarisation, (ii) traditional static and inflexible summaries, (iii) traditional generic summarisation approaches, and (iv) the need for reference summaries. We propose novel approaches to tackle these challenges, by: • enabling automatic intelligent feature engineering • enabling flexible and interactive summarisation • utilising intelligent and personalised summarisation approaches. The experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approaches compared to other state-of-the-art models. We further propose solutions to the information overload problem in different domains through summarisation, covering network traffic data, health data and business process data.

description: Four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills, with a codimension-one defect breaking half of the supersymmetry, arises as the field theory description of the D3/D5 intersection in the holographic limit. This is one of the earliest, most extensively studied, and commonly used systems in holography. In this note we give the full R-symmetry-covariant supersymmetry variations for this system. We also provide the supercurrents and compute the algebra of the corresponding supercharges, obtaining the full set of central charges. We show that magnetically charged finite-energy field configurations preserving half of the supersymmetry are solutions to a new form of the extended Bogomolny equations, in which the defect fields play the role of jumping data for the Nahm-like part of the equations. In the appendices, we explain the connection between our results and the superspace-based formulations in the literature.

description: We present a non-parametric model for inferring the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of dust density in the Milky Way. Our approach uses the extinction measured towards stars at different locations in the Galaxy at approximately known distances. Each extinction measurement is proportional to the integrated dust density along its line-of-sight. Making simple assumptions about the spatial correlation of the dust density, we can infer the most probable 3D distribution of dust across the entire observed region, including along sight lines which were not observed. This is possible because our model employs a Gaussian Process to connect all lines-of-sight. We demonstrate the capability of our model to capture detailed dust density variations using mock data as well as simulated data from the Gaia Universe Model Snapshot. We then apply our method to a sample of giant stars observed by APOGEE and Kepler to construct a 3D dust map over a small region of the Galaxy. Due to our smoothness constraint and its isotropy, we provide one of the first maps which does not show the "fingers of god" effect.

Assessments of Intention to Turnover and Associated Factors among Health Professionals working in Hospitals in Central Oromia, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Fida, Jirata
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: Human resources for Health are a center point in improving global health problems. A health sector especially in developing countries is characterized by a high turnover by internal as well as external brain drain. The quality of health care depends on number, knowledge, skill and commitment without forgetting the importance of other resources by which to serve. Without sufficient numbers of adequately trained, supported and appropriately motivated health workers, there is a significant risk of not achieving national and global health goals. However, turnover of health workers critically affects the health system particularly in countries with limited resources. There is little information on intention to turnover among health professionals working in hospitals in Central Oromia regional state. Aim of this study is to assess turnover intention and associated factors among health professionals working in Central Oromia Hospitals. Methods: Cross sectional study design using quantitative research method was applied. To collect data, structured questionnaire were used in six randomly selected Hospitals. A total of 408 sample sizes were used for the study. Factor analysis was used for all Liker scale instruments to identify factors representing each of the scale using Epi-info version and transferred for analysis to SPSS version 21.0. Results: Three Hundred seventy-one (91%) of health professionals are participated in the study. Out of the respondents (75.5%) had intention to turnover. Among variables: job factor 0.55 (95%CI, (0.44 – 0.69), working environment 1.89 (95% CI 1.51 – 2.39), and organizational factor 1.89 (95% CI, (1.51 – 2.39) had statistically significant association with intention to turnover of health professionals working in Central Oromia Hospitals. Conclusion: The overall intention to turnover among health professionals was high. Working environments: (Coworker relation, work pressure, etc…), job related factors: (Work load, nature of work, working schedule, etc…), and organizational factors: (Leaders, payment, work place condition, etc…) have statistically significant association with intention to turnover of health professionals working in Central Oromia Hospitals. The Federal Ministry of Health needs to strengthen human resources for health management especially at Hospital level in collaborating with regional state governments through implementing different retention strategies (like: BPR, BSC, Transfer Policy, Promotion Policy,…etc).

description: In this work, a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with proper-time regularization is employed to study the structure of nonstrange quark stars. The coupling constant of four-fermion interaction in the conventional NJL model is modified as $G=G_1+G_2\langle\barψψ\rangle$ to highlight the feedback of quark propagator to gluon propagator. To study the dependence of the equation of state (EOS) on this modification as well as the vacuum pressure, we choose nine representative EOSs for comparison. It is found that a smaller $G_1$ leads to a stiffer EOS, and a higher vacuum pressure (i.e., a smaller bag constant) yields a softer EOS at low energy density. It is further shown that the heaviest quark star under this modified NJL model satisfies not only the recent mass measurement of PSR J0740+6620, but also the radius constraints from X-ray timing observations. The corresponding tidal deformability is also in agreement with the observations of GW170817.

description: Maternal work has been seen to have two contradictory effect on child nutrition-via increasing income and decreasing time available in the household . The net effect will depend on the decision making pattern of the household and the adequacy and quality of child care substitute . A sample of 422 mothers and their children were selected In the rural town of Butajira through household survey to exami ne the effect of working for profit/gain on nutritional status of both the mother and children. Result showed that children of working mothers had a better nutritional status [OR(95%CI) 0 . 38 (0 . 19,0.76] however working mothers themselves were at a risk of being malnourished compared to non-working mothers (95%CI): 1. 62 (1. 05, 2 . 5). The decision making pattern and the child care substitute did not show any effect on the overall result . In the attempt to improve the nutri tional status of children the encouragement of maternal involvement in income generating activities is indispensable. Working mothers in the informal work needs to be considered in any nutritional intervention programme as they are likely to be at risk of being malnourished . v

description: The TUCAN (TRIUMF Ultra-Cold Advanced Neutron) collaboration aims to search for the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) with unprecedented precision. One of the essential elements for the nEDM measurement is a polarization analyzer of ultracold neutrons (UCNs), whose main component is a magnetized thin iron film. Several thin iron films were deposited on aluminum and silicon ubstrates and were characterized by vibrating sample magnetometry and cold-neutron reflectometry. A magnetic field required to saturate the iron film is $\sim$12 kA/m for those on the aluminum substrates and 6.4 kA/m for the silicon substrates. The magnetic potential of the iron films on the Si substrate was estimated to be 2 T by the neutron reflectometry, which is sufficient performance for an UCN polarization analyzer of the nEDM measurement.

description: Background: Occupational injury is an unintentional physical damage or injury resulting from an occupational accident. In developing countries, an occupational injury is one of a major problem in the field of public health. This study aims to assess prevalence and factors associated with occupational injury among level one general contractor firm building construction workers in Bole Sub –city, Addis Ababa. Methods: Institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 licensed level one General contractor firms in Bole sub-city from March 01-17, 2017. Stratified sampling technique was used which includes 804 study subjects. Data were collected via face to face interview; Data entry and analysis were used Epi data version 3.1 and SPSS version 21 software package respectively. Descriptive statistics mean, frequency and percent were performed for most variables, bivariate analysis were preformed, Variables with 95% confidence intervals and P value at <0.2 during the bivariate analysis were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis to see the effect of confounding variables. Result A total of 278 (34.6%) respondents reported occupational injuries during the past 12 months giving an overall annual prevalence rate of 346 injuries per 1000 construction workers. Of the total 278 injured respondents 216(77.7%) were hospitalized, the main cause of injury were fight by sharp object 166 (59.7%) and hit by falling object 47(16.9%). Sex (AOR [95%CI] = 2.85[1.17, 6.93]) and employment condition (AOR [95%CI] = 2.92 [1.47, 5.83]) were significantly associated with occupational injury. Working environment variable like regularly machines works safe guard (AOR [95%CI] = 2.17 [1.12, 4.19]) and work involves manually handling activity (AOR [95%CI] = 2.22 [1.02, 4.59]) were associated with occupation injury. Using Personal protective equipment (PPE) all times, drinking alcohol, chewing chat and work satisfaction were statically significantly associated with occupational injury. The odds of occupational injuries were 2.34 times higher among all time non-users PPE when compared with user (AOR [95%CI] = 2.34[1.24, 4.42]). Drinking alcohol increased the odds of occupational injuries by about three folds as compared to those who are not drink alcohol (AOR [95%CI] = 3.01[1.39, 6.90]). Conclusion and Recommendation: - The report of this study indicated relatively lower prevalence of injury among building construction employees compared to other studies this might be machine safe guarded, regular maintenances, and use of personal protective equipment all times. So, it is recommend that workers should be conducted for regular monitoring of substance abuse in workplace and use of personal protective equipment all times had significantly contributed to reduce risks of occupational injuries.

description: Legal Judgment Prediction is one of the most acclaimed fields for the combined area of NLP, AI, and Law. By legal prediction we mean an intelligent systems capable to predict specific judicial characteristics, such as judicial outcome, a judicial class, predict an specific case. In this research, we have used AI classifiers to predict judicial outcomes in the Brazilian legal system. For this purpose, we developed a text crawler to extract data from the official Brazilian electronic legal systems. These texts formed a dataset of second-degree murder and active corruption cases. We applied different classifiers, such as Support Vector Machines and Neural Networks, to predict judicial outcomes by analyzing textual features from the dataset. Our research showed that Regression Trees, Gated Recurring Units and Hierarchical Attention Networks presented higher metrics for different subsets. As a final goal, we explored the weights of one of the algorithms, the Hierarchical Attention Networks, to find a sample of the most important words used to absolve or convict defendants.

description: A paradigmatic microswimmer is the three-linked-spheres model, which follows a minimalist approach for propulsion by shape shifting. As such, it has been the subject of numerous analytical and numerical studies. In this Rapid Communication, an experimental three-linked-spheres swimmer is created by self-assembling ferromagnetic particles at an air-water interface. It is powered by a uniform oscillating magnetic field. A model, using two harmonic oscillators, reproduces the experimental findings. Because the model remains general, the same approach could be used to design a variety of efficient microswimmers.

description: Matrix product purifications (MPPs) are a very efficient tool for the simulation of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems at finite temperatures. When a system features symmetries, these can be used to reduce computation costs substantially. It is straightforward to compute an MPP of a grand-canonical ensemble, also when symmetries are exploited. This paper provides and demonstrates methods for the efficient computation of MPPs of canonical ensembles under utilization of symmetries. Furthermore, we present a scheme for the evaluation of global quantum number distributions using matrix product density operators (MPDOs). We provide exact matrix product representations for canonical infinite-temperature states, and discuss how they can be constructed alternatively by applying matrix product operators to vacuum-type states or by using entangler Hamiltonians. A demonstration of the techniques for Heisenberg spin-1/2 chains explains why the difference in the energy densities of canonical and grand-canonical ensembles decays as 1/L.

title: Sex-influenced mortality in a large Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) cohort caused by RYR2 p.R420W
Creators: name: Abdel-Razek, Omar

description: Background: Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is an arrhythmia syndrome causing sudden cardiac death (SCD). We have ascertained three multiplex, multigenerational families with CPVT due to RYR2 (p.R420W) disrupting calcium channel regulation. The effect of RYR2 p.R420W on survival is described. Methods: Cases of sudden death were ascertained from clinical and genetics chart reviews following informed research consent from individuals or their next of kin (Study ID 00-176). Individuals were considered well-ascertained if disease status of ≥ 50% of their sibship was known (n=60). Affected individuals included mutation positive, obligate carriers (OC), and/or documented SCD <50 years (n=32). Unaffected status was defined as mutation negative (n=23). Remaining individuals were designated unknown (n=5). Unaffected and Unknown groups were combined. Time to death was compared using Kaplan-Meier time-to-event analysis and multivariate Cox regression. Survival was compared to families with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) due to TMEM43 p.S358L. Results: Affected status with RYR2 p.R420W was significantly associated with mortality (RR=4, 95% CI: 1.1-14.5), with 24% mortality in the affected group by age 30. Affected males died earlier than females (RR=6, 95% CI: 1.7-20.4). Median survival in males with RYR2 p.R420W was 50 years (95% CI: 5.5-94.5), compared to TMEM43 44 years (95% CI: 42.0-46.8). Median survival in females with RYR2 was 76 years (95% CI: 37.7-115.2), compared to TMEM43 73 years (95% CI: 69.6-76.1). Conclusions: The RYR2 p.R420W mutation significantly affects mortality. There is a clear sex-influence. Median survival is comparable to another highly lethal mutation TMEM43 p.S358L causing ARVC.

description: The rising demand for transmission capacity in optical networks has motivated steady interest in expansion beyond the standard C-band (1530-1565 nm) into the adjacent L-band (1565-1625 nm), for an approximate doubling of capacity in a single stroke. However, in the context of quantum networking, the ability to leverage the L-band will require advanced tools for characterization and management of entanglement resources which have so far been lagging. In this work, we demonstrate an ultrabroadband two-photon source integrating both C- and L-band wavelength-selective switches for complete control of spectral routing and allocation across 7.5 THz in a single setup. Polarization state tomography of all 150 pairs of 25 GHz-wide channels reveals an average fidelity of 0.98 and total distillable entanglement greater than 181 kebits/s. This source is explicitly designed for flex-grid optical networks and can facilitate optimal utilization of entanglement resources across the full C+L-band.

description: Quantum control of systems plays important roles in modern science and technology. The ultimate goal of quantum control is to achieve high fidelity universal control in the time-optimal way. Although high fidelity universal control has been reported in various quantum systems, experimental implementation of time-optimal universal control remains elusive. Here we report the experimental realization of time-optimal universal control of spin qubits in diamond. By generalizing a recent method for solving quantum brachistochrone equations [X. Wang, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 170501 (2015)], we obtained accurate minimum time protocols for multiple qubits with fixed qubits' interactions and constrained control field. Single- and two-qubit time-optimal gates are experimentally implemented with fidelities of 99% obtained via quantum process tomography. Our work provides a time-optimal route to achieve accurate quantum control, and unlocks new capabilities for emerging field of time-optimal control in general quantum systems.
A community Based Randomized Trial of Three Modes of Oral Rehydration theRrapy

description: A randomized field trial of the relative efficacy of three oral rehydration therapies (ORT) was carried out in 18 rural peasant associations of Adamaboset district, Ethiopia. The three ORTs were pre-packaged glucose oral rehydration salt (GORS) solution (n= 153), home made cereal based oral rehydration pre-packaged salt (CBORS) solution (n=154), and home made cereal and salt based oral rehydration therapy (CBORT) solution (n=156). CBORT was superior (p< . 01) to GORS and CBORS in terms of mean weight gain and diminished stool frequency at 24, 48, and 96 hours following onset of therapy. Analysis of hydration status indicated a higher proportion of children receiving CBORT were found in both the deterioration and improvement categories at 4 hours, but mean dehydration status at 4, 24, 48 and 96 hours was no statistically different among ORT groups. Mothers' compliance was significantly (p<.05) higher and children's acceptance not statistically different between those receiving CBORT when compared to GORS and CBORS. The non-packaged CBORT therapy was found to be as or more efficacious than GORS or CBORS in the treatment of acute childhood diarrhoea. On the basis of these findings it is recommended that replication studies of the relative effectiveness of CBORT, particularly in comparison with CBORS, be done with the view of eventually adding CBORT to ORT programs.

description: In this contribution a novel integration scheme, extending the conventional quadtree-decomposition-based approach by image compression techniques, is investigated for unfitted polygonal meshes with a particular focus on the rational Wachspress shape functions. It is shown that a meaningful reduction of integration points can be achieved without a significant loss in accuracy. However, the full potential of the method in terms of time savings can only be leveraged when applied to higher order polynomial elements.
