description: To identify genetic contributions to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related glycemic traits (fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HbA1c), we conducted genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) in up to 7,178 Chinese subjects from nine provinces in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). We examined patterns of population structure within CHNS and found that allele frequencies differed across provinces, consistent with genetic drift and population substructure. We further validated 32 previously described T2D- and glycemic trait-loci, including G6PC2 and SIX3-SIX2 associated with fasting glucose. At G6PC2, we replicated a known fasting glucose-associated variant (rs34177044) and identified a second signal (rs2232326), a low-frequency (4%), probably damaging missense variant (S324P). A variant within the lead fasting glucose-associated signal at SIX3-SIX2 co-localized with pancreatic islet expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) for SIX3, SIX2, and three noncoding transcripts. To identify variants functionally responsible for the fasting glucose association at SIX3-SIX2, we tested five candidate variants for allelic differences in regulatory function. The rs12712928-C allele, associated with higher fasting glucose and lower transcript expression level, showed lower transcriptional activity in reporter assays and increased binding to GABP compared to the rs12712928-G, suggesting that rs12712928-C contributes to elevated fasting glucose levels by disrupting an islet enhancer, resulting in reduced gene expression. Taken together, these analyses identified multiple loci associated with glycemic traits across China, and suggest a regulatory mechanism at the SIX3-SIX2 fasting glucose GWAS locus.

Short-time behavior of solutions to Lévy-driven SDEs

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We consider solutions of Lévy-driven stochastic differential equations of the form $\mathrm{d} X_t=σ(X_{t-})\mathrm{d} L_t$, $X_0=x$ where the function $σ$ is twice continuously differentiable and maximal of linear growth and the driving Lévy process $L=(L_t)_{t\geq0}$ is either vector or matrix-valued. While the almost sure short-time behavior of Lévy processes is well-known and can be characterized in terms of the characteristic triplet, there is no complete characterization of the behavior of the process $X$. Using methods from stochastic calculus, we derive limiting results for stochastic integrals of the from $\smash{t^{-p}\int_{0+}^tσ(X_{t-})\mathrm{d} L_t}$ to show that the behavior of the quantity $t^{-p}(X_t-X_0)$ for $t\downarrow0$ almost surely mirrors the behavior of $t^{-p}L_t$. Generalizing $t^p$ to a suitable function $f:[0,\infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ then yields a tool to derive explicit LIL-type results for the solution from the behavior of the driving Lévy process.

description: Image sharing on online social networks (OSNs) has become an indispensable part of daily social activities, but it has also led to an increased risk of privacy invasion. The recent image leaks from popular OSN services and the abuse of personal photos using advanced algorithms (e.g. DeepFake) have prompted the public to rethink individual privacy needs in OSN image sharing. However, OSN image privacy itself is quite complicated, and solutions currently in place for privacy management in reality are insufficient to provide personalized, accurate and flexible privacy protection. A more intelligent environment for privacy-friendly OSN image sharing is in demand. To fill the gap, we contribute a survey of "privacy intelligence" that targets modern privacy issues in dynamic OSN image sharing from a user-centric perspective. Specifically, we present a definition and a taxonomy of OSN image privacy, and a high-level privacy analysis framework based on the lifecycle of OSN image sharing. The framework consists of three stages with different principles of privacy by design. At each stage, we identify typical user behaviors in OSN image sharing and the privacy issues associated with these behaviors. Then a systematic review on the representative intelligent solutions targeting those privacy issues is conducted, also in a stage-based manner. The resulting analysis describes an intelligent privacy firewall for closed-loop privacy management. We also discuss the challenges and future directions in this area.

description: Condensation of a liquid droplet from a supersaturated vapour phase is initiated by a prototypical nucleation event. As such it is challenging to compute its rate from atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. In fact at realistic supersaturation conditions condensation occurs on time scales that far exceed what can be reached with conventional molecular dynamics methods. Another known problem in this context is the distortion of the free energy profile associated to nucleation due to the small, finite size of typical simulation boxes. In this work the problem of time scale is addressed with a recently developed enhanced sampling method while contextually correcting for finite size effects. We demonstrate our approach by studying the condensation of argon, and showing that characteristic nucleation times of the order of magnitude of hours can be reliably calculated, approaching realistic supersaturation conditions, thus bridging the gap between what standard molecular dynamics simulations can do and real physical systems.

description: This article examines the key presumptions and theoretical foundations of ecological or nature-assisted creative arts therapies, a branch of contemporary ecotherapy. The ecological arts therapies are considered from the perspective of the eco-human multi-disciplinary approach, which defines the human being in relation to the environment, and seeks to reveal the individual’s subjectivity and shape the world in order to fulfill their needs and take care of environmental well-being. Key concepts of ecological creative arts therapies are explored, such as the ecological, eco-human perspective on health and illness, eco-identity formation, the role of nature as the third subject in the therapeutic relationship, the environmental and ecopsychological perception of the therapeutic setting, and the role of the arts in providing meaningful human connection to nature. These concepts support the understanding of ecological, natureassisted arts therapies as encouraging both public and environmental health and establishing more harmonious relations of humans with nature.

For some specific families of polynomials, we also study the level of such a differential operator $δ$, i.e., the least integer $e$ such that $δ$ is $R^{p^e}$-linear. In particular, we obtain a characterization of supersingular elliptic curves in terms of the level of the associated differential operator.

description: A new benthoplanktonic chaetognath, Sagitta siamensis, is described from near-shore waters of Phuket Island (Thailand), in the Andaman Sea, where it lives among submerged vegetation. It is related to the species of the "hispida" group. In the laboratory, specimens have been observed swimming in the sea water but also sometimes adhering to the wall of the jars, and the eggs are benthic and attached on the substratum. Their fins are particularly thick and provided with clusters of probably adhesive cells on their ventral side and edges. This is the first mention of such fins in the genus Sagitta but the adhesive apparatus do not resemble that found in the benthic family Spadellidae and is less evolved. A review of the morphological characteristics of the species of the "hispida" group is done as well as their biogeography.

description: Newton Harrison, one of the pioneers and leaders of the eco-art movement, presents his ideas about future ecourban communities that are self-renewing and occupy a niche in the whole life web. He envisions these communities as centers for the regeneration of herding and farming, made up of groups of around 20,000 people that join together to occupy a new niche in the web of life rather than dominating or using nature. Newton’s work reveals the social and cultural activities that need to be developed in order to create such communities, including forestry combined with ecologically knowledgeable herding, the newest forms of agriculture that are polycultural in nature, and an education system that is informed and involved in generating an eco-cultural, empathic community.

description: We study the quantum Hall effect in a monolayer graphene by using an approach based on thermodynamical properties. This can be done by considering a system of Dirac particles in an electromagnetic field and taking into account of the edges effect as a pseudo-potential varying continuously along the $x$ direction. At low temperature and in the weak electric field limit, we explicitly determine the thermodynamical potential. With this, we derive the particle numbers in terms of the quantized flux and therefore the Hall conductivity immediately follows.

description: The stomach contents of 308 adult amberjack, Seriola dumerili (Osteichthyes, Cararrgidae) were analysed to investigate the food and feeding habits of this species. Fish occurred in 79.7% of non-empty stomachs, accounting for 79.5% of prey in number and 71.0% in weight; cephalopods occurred in 26.8% of non-empty stomachs, accounting for 20.5% of preys in number and 29.0% in weight. The prey items occurring most frequently were Boops boops, Loligo spp., Sardinella
 aurita, Sardina pilchardus and Sepia officinalis. Pelagic preys occurred overall less frequently and in lesser amounts than demersal ones; moreover males fed much more intensely on demersal preys than females. The amberjack is an essentially piscivorous predator. Though commonly considered a "pelagic" species, it does not seem dependent on pelagic food sources in the central Mediterranean, at least during the spawning season.

description: Background: Several strategies have been proposed to reduce the intake of added sugars in the population. In Mexico, a 10% sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) tax was implemented in 2014, and the implementation of other nutritional policies, such as product reformulation to reduce added sugars, is under discussion. WHO recommends that all individuals consume less than 10% of their total energy intake (TEI) from added sugars. We propose gradually reducing added sugars in SSBs to achieve an average 10% consumption of added sugars in the Mexican population over 10 years and to estimate the expected impact of reformulation in adult body weight and obesity. Methods and findings: Baseline consumption for added sugars and SSBs, sex, age, socioeconomic status (SES), height, and weight for Mexican adults were obtained from the 2012 Mexico National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT). On average, 12.6% of the TEI was contributed by added sugars; we defined a 50% reduction in added sugars in SSBs over 10 years as a reformulation target. Using a dynamic weight change model, sugar reductions were translated into individual expected changes in body weight assuming a 43% caloric compensation and a 2-year lag for the full effect of reformulation to occur. Results were stratified by sex, age, and SES. Twelve years after reformulation, the TEI from added sugars is expected to decrease to 10%, assuming no compensation from added sugars; 44% of the population would still be above WHO recommendations, requiring further sugar reductions to food. Body weight could be reduced by 1.3 kg (95% CI −1.4 to −1.2) in the adult population, and obesity could decrease 3.9 percentage points (pp; −12.5% relative to baseline). Our sensitivity analyses suggest that the impact of the intervention could vary from 0.12 kg after 6 months to 1.52 kg in the long term. Conclusions: Reformulation to reduce added sugars in SSBs could produce large reductions in sugar consumption and obesity in the Mexican adult population. This study is limited by the use of a single dietary recall and by data collected in all seasons except summer; still, these limitations should lead to conservative estimates of the reformulation effect. Reformulation success could depend on government enforcement and industry and consumer response, for which further research and evidence are needed.

description: This article was adapted from Dr. Parker-Bell’s keynote presentation which described her process of designing and teaching a studio art and self-care class to graduate level art therapy students at Florida State University during the COVID 19 pandemic. Due to the limiting factors of required online teaching platforms and virtual engagement, promoting self-care and connection through artmaking became a challenging objective. Consequently, Dr. Parker-Bell incorporated eco-art therapy components into the course design. Sixteen students were invited to select three eco-art therapy articles and explore represented eco-art therapy concepts in nature. Students opted to explore nature alone or together with instructor and peers if they remained in the Tallahassee area. Following nature experiences, students reflected and posted their artworks and reflective statements within the on-line class forum for witnessing by others and completed a paper. Instructor and student reflections about these nature-based experiences inform this article. Themes that emerged from reflections included increased awareness of the power of nature engagement to stimulate stress reduction, reawakened connections with nature and others, and generation of positive feelings related to viewing nature and working with natural materials.

description: We study the effect of higher-derivative terms on holographic Schwinger effect by introducing the Gauss-Bonnet term in the gravity sector. Anti-de Sitter (AdS) soliton background is considered which is dual to confining phase of the boundary field theory. By calculating the potential between the produced pair, we find that larger Gauss-Bonnet factor $λ$ makes the pair lighter. We apply numerical method to calculate the production rate for various cases. The results show that the Gauss-Bonnet term enhances the production rate. The critical behaviors near the two critical values of the electric field are also investigated, and it is found that the two critical indexes are not affected by the Gauss-Bonnet term and thus suggests a possible universality.

description: This article is based on the paper presented by Beverley A’Court at the first international web-based conference, “Ecological/Earth-Based Arts Therapies: International and Multi-Cultural Perspectives” (2020). It reveals the quality of tenderness expressed towards all life forms, exercised not only in relationships between people, but also in their relations with the more-than-human world. Many therapists are taking their sessions outdoors, however it is important to remember that ‘Nature’ is not just a backdrop or resource ‘supermarket’, but a dynamic, living field of diverse intelligences and subjects. The voice of every living being has a place in this ‘orchestra’, contributes to the whole ‘symphony’ and must be attended to for psycho-ecological well-being and survival. Ecological art therapy can be used is a gentle and powerful path back to rediscovering this precious quality within individual daily lives and as a contribution to restoring collective well-being.

Year: 2015

description: The first search for supersymmetry in the vector-boson fusion topology is presented. The search targets final states with at least two leptons, large missing transverse momentum, and two jets with a large separation in rapidity. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The observed dijet invariant mass spectrum is found to be consistent with the expected standard model prediction. Upper limits are set on the cross sections for chargino and neutralino production with two associated jets, assuming the supersymmetric partner of the tau lepton to be the lightest slepton and the lightest slepton to be lighter than the charginos. For a so-called compressed-mass-spectrum scenario in which the mass difference between the lightest supersymmetric particle and the next lightest, mass-degenerate, gaugino particles is 50 GeV, a mass lower limit of 170 GeV is set for these latter two particles.

description: Electric city bus gains popularity in recent years for its low greenhouse gas emission, low noise level, etc. Different from a passenger car, the weight of a city bus varies significantly with different amounts of onboard passengers. After analyzing the importance of battery aging and passenger load effects on an optimal energy management strategy, this study introduces the passenger load prediction into the hybrid-electric city buses energy management problem, which is not well studied in the existing literature. The average model, Decision Tree, Gradient Boost Decision Tree, and Neural Networks models are compared in the passenger load prediction. The Gradient Boost Decision Tree model is selected due to its best accuracy and high stability. Given the predicted passenger load, a dynamic programming algorithm determines the optimal power demand for supercapacitor and battery by optimizing the battery aging and energy usage leveraging cloud techniques. Then, rule extraction is conducted on dynamic programming results, and the rule is real-time loaded to the vehicle onboard controller to handle prediction errors and uncertainties. The proposed cloud-based Dynamic Programming and rule extraction framework with the passenger load prediction show 4% and 11% lower bus operating costs in off-peak and peak hours, respectively. The operating cost by the proposed framework is less than 1% of the dynamic programming with the true passenger load information.

description: Background: On October 1, 2014, the Chilean government modified its previous sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) tax, increasing the tax rate from 13% to 18% on industrialized beverages with high levels of sugar (H-SSBs) (greater than 6.25 grams [g] sugar/100 milliliters [mL]) and decreasing the tax rate from 13% to 10% on industrialized beverages with low or no sugar (L-SSBs) (less than 6.25 g sugar/100 mL). This study examines changes in beverage prices and household beverage purchases following the implementation of the tax reform. Methods and findings: We used longitudinal data collected between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2015, from 2,000 households. We defined the pretax period as January 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014, and the posttax period as October 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015. We conducted a pre–post analysis for changes in prices and purchases, with the latter examined by volume and calories. We compared posttax changes in prices and purchases to a counterfactual, defined as what would have been expected in the posttax period based on pretax trends. All results are stated as comparisons to this counterfactual. We linked beverages at the bar code level to nutrition facts panel data collected by a team of Chilean nutritionists who categorized them by taxation level and beverage subcategory, which included carbonated and noncarbonated H-SSBs and concentrated, ready-to-drink L-SSBs and untaxed beverages. We reconstituted concentrated beverages and analyzed all beverages using as-consumed volumes and calories. Posttax monthly prices of H-SSBs increased, but these changes were small. Prices of carbonated H-SSBs increased by 2.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0%–3.0%), while those of noncarbonated H-SSBs increased by 3.9% (95% CI 1.6%–6.2%). Prices of L-SSB concentrates decreased after the tax by 6.7% (95% CI −8.2%–−4.6%), and prices of ready-to-drink L-SSBs increased by 1.5% (95% CI 0.3%–2.7%). Households decreased monthly per capita purchases of H-SSBs by 3.4% by volume (95% CI −5.9%–−0.9%) and 4.0% by calories (95% CI −6.3%–−1.9%), and this change was greater among high socioeconomic status (SES) households. The volume of household purchases of L-SSBs increased 10.7% (95% CI 7.5%–13.9%), while that of untaxed beverage purchases decreased by 3.1% (95% CI −5.1%–−1.1%). The main limitation of this study was that there was no control group, so we were unable to assess the causal impact of the tax. Conclusions: The modifications of Chile’s SSB tax were small, and observed changes in prices and purchases of beverages after the tax were also small. Our results are consistent with previous evidence indicating that small increases in SSB taxes are unlikely to promote large enough changes in SSB purchases to reduce obesity and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).

This thesis maps the cultivation of chance by analyzing the practice of casting lots as a

cultural technique from the perspective of game studies. A “lot” is commonly understood as

a random decision maker like a coin-flip or drawing the short end of a stick as in a simple

“lottery”. According to Roger Caillois, humans uniquely play with chance (ALEA), while his

other play categories of competition (AGÔN), pretending (MIMICRY) and intoxication (ILINX)

are also observed among animals.

 

This thesis questions the academic status quo that the original use of casting lots evolved

from divination practices called “cleromancy”. Instead, this thesis argues that an ‘aleatory

culture’ using numerals preceded the development of scripture. The thesis first analyses the

characteristics of play, divination and decision making, then the physical and performative

qualities of objects used as lots and lastly presents a historical analysis what „objects of

thought“ (Hacking) concerning ideas of chance have been presented in ancient literature.

 

Humanity’s oldest written myths already describe the highest Gods casting lots to divide the

universe, without having any control over chance nor fate. Instead, this represented common

Mesopotamian inheritance law for division of property. Through a playful and seemingly

useless process of “casting without aim” or “shaking a quiver” of arrows, we learned to

generate quantitative outcomes (Salen & Zimmerman) for random selection or distribution

by an unbiased source. Linking chance to fairness enabled to forge strong communal trust,

while the „ SACRED EARNEST” (Huizinga) to honor and uphold rules had the casting of lots

evolve into cultural institutions that were eventually attributed divine powers.

 

The Greek word for lot “κλῆρος“ is also the etymological root of “cleric”. A media

revolution of trust in scripture had brought forth new literate theological elites who labeled

all unwanted pagan practices as divination, especially concerning conscious randomization.

“Cleromancy” would since remain common terminology, in need of revision.
The maximal number of $3$-term arithmetic progressions in finite sets in different geometries

description: Green and Sisask showed that the maximal number of $3$-term arithmetic progressions in $n$-element sets of integers is $\lceil n^2/2\rceil$; it is easy to see that the same holds if the set of integers is replaced by the real line or by any Euclidean space. We study this problem in general metric spaces, where a triple $(a,b,c)$ of points in a metric space is considered a $3$-term arithmetic progression if $d(a,b)=d(b,c)=\frac{1}{2}d(a,c)$. In particular, we show that the result of Green and Sisask extends to any Cartan--Hadamard manifold (in particular, to the hyperbolic spaces), but does not hold in spherical geometry or in the $r$-regular tree, for any $r\geq 3$.

description: Degeneracies in the energy spectra of physical systems are commonly considered to be either of accidental character or induced by symmetries of the Hamiltonian. We develop an approach to explain degeneracies by tracing them back to symmetries of an isospectral effective Hamiltonian derived by subsystem partitioning. We provide an intuitive interpretation of such latent symmetries by relating them to corresponding local symmetries in the powers of the underlying Hamiltonian matrix. As an application, we relate the degeneracies induced by the rotation symmetry of a real Hamiltonian to a non-abelian latent symmetry group. It is demonstrated that the rotational symmetries can be broken in a controlled manner while maintaining the underlying more fundamental latent symmetry. This opens up the perspective of investigating accidental degeneracies in terms of latent symmetries.

description: Objective To describe trends across the intake distribution of total, manufactured and homemade sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) from 1999 to 2012, focusing on high SSB consumers and on changes by socio-economic status (SES) subgroup.Design We analysed data from one 24 h dietary recall from two nationally representative surveys. Quantile regression models at the 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles of energy intake distribution of SSB were used.Setting 1999 Mexican National Nutrition Survey and 2012 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey.Participants School-aged children (5-11 years) and women (20-49 years) for trend analyses (n 7718). Population aged >1 year for 2012 (n 10 096).Results Over the 1999-2012 period, there were significant increases in the proportion of total and manufactured SSB consumers (5·7 and 10·7 percentage points), along with an increase in per-consumer SSB energy intake, resulting in significant increases in per-capita total SSB energy intake (142, 247 and 397 kJ/d (34, 59 and 95 kcal/d) in school-aged children and 155, 331 and 456 kJ/d (37, 79 and 109 kcal/d) in women at the 50th, 75th and 90th percentile, respectively). Total and manufactured SSB intakes increased sharply among low-SES children but remained similar among high-SES children during this time span.Conclusions Large increases in SSB consumption were seen between 1999 and 2012 during this pre-tax SSB period, particularly for the highest consumers. Trends observed in school-aged children are a clear example of the nutrition transition experienced in Mexico. Policies to discourage high intake of manufactured SSB should continue, joined with strategies to encourage water and low-calorie beverage consumption.

description: Objective Eating away from home is associated with poor diet quality, in part due to less healthy food choices and larger portions. However, few studies account for the potential additional contribution of differences in food composition between restaurant- and home-prepared dishes. The present study aimed to investigate differences in nutrients of dishes prepared in restaurants v. at home.Design Eight commonly consumed dishes were collected in twenty of each of the following types of locations: small and large restaurants, and urban and rural households. In addition, two fast-food items were collected from ten KFC, McDonald's and food stalls. Five samples per dish were randomly pooled from every location. Nutrients were analysed and energy was calculated in composite samples. Differences in nutrients of dishes by preparation location were determined.Setting Hunan Province, China.Subjects Na, K, protein, total fat, fatty acids, carbohydrate and energy in dishes.Results On average, both the absolute and relative fat contents, SFA and Na:K ratio were higher in dishes prepared in restaurants than households (P < 0·05). Protein was 15 % higher in animal food-based dishes prepared in households than restaurants (P<0·05). Quantile regression models found that, at the 90th quantile, restaurant preparation was consistently negatively associated with protein and positively associated with the percentage of energy from fat in all dishes. Moreover, restaurant preparation also positively influenced the SFA content in dishes, except at the highest quantiles.Conclusions These findings suggest that compared with home preparation, dishes prepared in restaurants in China may differ in concentrations of total fat, SFA, protein and Na:K ratio, which may further contribute, beyond food choices, to less healthy nutrient intakes linked to eating away from home.

description: We investigate three types of amplification processes for light fields coupling to an atom near the end of a one-dimensional semi-infinite waveguide. We consider two setups where a drive creates population inversion in the bare or dressed basis of a three-level atom and one setup where the amplification is due to higher-order processes in a driven two-level atom. In all cases, the end of the waveguide acts as a mirror for the light. We find that this enhances the amplification in two ways compared to the same setups in an open waveguide. Firstly, the mirror forces all output from the atom to travel in one direction instead of being split up into two output channels. Secondly, interference due to the mirror enables tuning of the ratio of relaxation rates for different transitions in the atom to increase population inversion. We quantify the enhancement in amplification due to these factors and show that it can be demonstrated for standard parameters in experiments with superconducting quantum circuits.
