description:
Centering birthing parents is critical for improving reproductive health policies and practices. This study investigates patient perspectives on measuring the quality of perinatal care. A cross-sectional qualitative research study was conducted at an academic medical center in the Southeastern United States. Individuals who had recently given birth participated in audio-recorded interviews between May 2020 and September 2020. This analysis addresses the research question, “If we were providing quality healthcare for families, how would we know?” Transcribed and translated responses were inductively coded to develop categories and identify themes. Forty birthing parents participated in the study. Metrics, timing, and process were identified as important components of meaningfully measuring the quality of perinatal care. Recommended metrics included asking patients whether their health priorities were addressed. Additional metrics of importance were whether coping strategies were provided, the clarity of information provided, patient comprehension of health information, the extent to which care planning was collaborative among patients and their healthcare team members, whether clinicians alleviated patient doubts, patient feelings of being taken care of, healthcare team mannerisms, clinician demonstrations of respect for patient autonomy, and postpartum visit attendance. With regard to timing, patients desired that their healthcare team members “check-in” with them as part of an ongoing, direct dialog. Birthing parents also wanted opportunities to provide feedback soon after encounters. As part of a robust measurement process, they wanted to share their insights with someone who was not a part of their healthcare team, for maintaining confidentiality. The patients desired a “serious platform” with accessible methods for all birthing parents to be able to convey nuanced accounts of their care. They also wanted to hear from the healthcare institutions about their feedback. Birthing parents sought assurances for their perinatal care feedback to be de-identified to protect them from potential retaliation. The participants recognized that they might need to utilize healthcare services from the same institution and individuals in the future. Birthing parents expressed desire for their perinatal healthcare experiences to be understood. Meaningful quality measurement may be promoted through transparent and multimethod opportunities for patients to securely share insights. In addition to healthcare systems communicating assurances of patient confidentiality, institutional feedback in response to patient-reported experiences is recommended.

Intertemporal Pricing with Resellers: An Empirical Study of Product Drops

description:
Product drops occur when a retailer releases a limited-edition product line on a specific date for a short period of time. Due to limited inventory of the product and the short sales horizon, a resale market emerges where products may resell at higher prices once the firm stocks out. The firm faces a central tradeoff: pricing too high may lead to a longer stockout time and future markdowns; pricing too low may lead to transfer of profits to resellers. Any firm in this position may ask, “How do resellers impact my profit?” To answer this question, we build a dynamic structural model that captures customer decisions to consume or strategically resell, as well as the firm’s intertemporal pricing decision in the presence of resellers. We estimate our model using a unique data set from a retailer of baby clothing with weekly product drops, where customers engage in a resale marketplace through Facebook groups. We find resale data collection and analysis is valuable to incorporate into pricing as firm profit increases by 8.8%, and reseller presence reduces firm profit by 5.8% even if resale data are used in pricing. These impacts are magnified by resale market growth, demonstrating that managers need to take action as resale markets gain wider adoption. This paper was accepted by Victor Martínez-de-Albéniz, operations management. Supplemental Material: The online appendix and data files are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2022.04152 .

Remarks. Elevation of the variant cretica to species level was discussed in detail by Ćurčiċ et al. (2001). It is a good example of species evolution on islands: a taxon formerly thought to be a variant, but nowadays treated as a separate species from Crete. It represents one of the two Cretan Megaphyllum species. The correct spelling of the species should be creticum according to the rules of ICZN (2000).

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the effectiveness of seven different closed system transfer device (CSTD) product lines following the 2015 NIOSH Vapor Containment Performance Protocol, using a Gasmet™ DX5000 Terra multigas FTIR analyzer. METHODS: Seven different CSTD systems were assessed using a two-task evaluation on their capacity to contain the NIOSH-specified challenge agent, 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Task 1 simulated reconstitution and compounding steps while Task 2 simulated compounding and administration steps. Vial adapters, syringe adapters, IV bag adapters, and y-site adapters from each CSTD product line were tested. All tasks were performed in a custom-built environmental test chamber as outlined in the 2015 NIOSH protocol, with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) release detected and measured by a Gasmet™ analyzer. RESULTS: The BD PhaSeal™ CSTD product line effectively contained IPA vapor during both tasks with a task performance metric of 0.00 ppm for each task. BD PhaSeal™ Optima, Equashield®, Yukon Medical Arisure®, ICU Medical ChemoLock™, BD Texium™, and ICU Medical ChemoClave™ non-vented CSTDs demonstrated detectable and quantifiable IPA leakage during each task. The leaks occurred at different steps within the protocol, and the amount of IPA vapor detected varied. CONCLUSION: In this study, one CSTD product line (i.e., PhaSeal™) successfully contained IPA vapor below the Gasmet™ analyzer's limit of quantification (LOQ) for IPA of 0.04 ppm for both Tasks 1 and 2, demonstrating it to be a validated closed system per the study protocol. All other CSTD product lines demonstrated some level of IPA leakage with task performance metrics above the analyzer's LOQ. However, these results tell us little about how well CSTDs contain hazardous drugs (HDs), as a universal HD surrogate for effectively assessing the closedness of all types of CSTDs has yet to be identified.

description: Conductor materials with good mechanical performance as well as high electrical- and thermal-conductivities are particularly important to break through the current bottle-neck limit ($\sim 100$ T) of pulsed magnets. Here we perform systematic studies on the elastic properties of the Cu-6wt\%Ag alloy wires, a promising candidate material for the new-generation pulsed magnets, by employing two independent ultrasonic techniques - resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) and ultrasound pulse-echo experiments. Our RUS measurements manifest that the elastic properties of the Cu-6wt\%Ag alloy wires can be improved by an electroplastic drawing procedure as compared with the conventional cold drawing. We also take this chance to test the availability of our newly-built ultrasound pulse-echo facility at Wuhan National High Magnetic Field Center (WHMFC, China), and the results suggest that the elastic performance of the electroplastically-drawn Cu-6wt\%Ag alloy wire remains excellent without anomalous softening under extreme conditions, e.g., ultra-high magnetic field up to 50 T, nitrogen / helium cryogenic liquids.

description:
Metastasis causes a majority of deaths in breast cancer patients. Metastasis is the spread of cancer to distant sites in the body away from the primary tumor, creating secondary tumors, or metastases. A tumor metastasizes when cancer cells strategically regulate genes that play a role in angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, invasion, and regulation of the cell cycle to bypass apoptosis and increase proliferation and stemness. Several transcription factors have also been identified to play a role in metastatic breast cancer, as they enable invasion, intravasation, transport, extravasation, and colonization of metastasis through other processes such as angiogenesis and EMT, making them a prime target for cancer treatment. Understanding how transcription factors play a role in breast cancer metastasis will enable the development of targeted therapeutics for breast cancer. This paper reviews the roles of E2Fs, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), EMT master regulators, sex determining region Y (SRY)-related high-mobility group (HMG) box (SOX), E26 transformation-specific (ETS), Yin Yang 1 (YY1), forkhead box M1 (FoxM1), BTB domain and CNC homology 1 (Bach1), sineoculis homeobox homolog (SIX), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), myelocytomatosis (MYC), Kruppel-like factors (KLFs), and c-Jun in breast cancer metastasis.

description: Motivated by recent debates around the many-body localization (MBL) problem, and in particular its stability against systemwide resonances, we investigate long-distance spin-spin correlations across the phase diagram of the random-field XXZ model, with a particular focus on the strong disorder regime. Building on state-of-the-art shift-invert diagonalization techniques, we study the high-energy behavior of transverse and longitudinal correlation functions, computed at the largest possible distance, for a broad range of disorder and interaction strengths. Our results show that while transverse correlations display a fairly stable exponential decay over the entire XXZ phase diagram, longitudinal correlations exhibit markedly different behavior, revealing distinct physical regimes. More precisely, we identify an intermediate disorder region where standard observables show well-converged MBL behavior [J. Colbois et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 116502 (2024)] while the distributions of longitudinal correlations reveal unexpected fat-tails towards large values. These rare events strongly influence the average decay of longitudinal correlations, which we find to be algebraic in a broad region inside the supposed MBL phase, whereas the typical decay remains mostly exponential. At stronger disorder and weaker interactions, this intermediate regime is replaced by a more conventional exponential decay with short correlation lengths for both typical and average correlators, as expected for standard localization. Our findings shed light on the systemwide instabilities and raise important questions about the impact of such rare but large long-range correlations on the stability of the MBL phase. Finally, we discuss the possible fate of the intermediate region in the context of recent perspectives in the field.

Theory of the spin Seebeck effect influenced by crystal-field excitations in Tb$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$

description: The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a phenomenon of thermoelectric generation that occurs within a device consisting of a bilayer of a metal and a ferromagnet. When Tb$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ (TbIG) is substituted for the ferromagnet, the effect goes to zero at low temperatures, yet it increases to positive values with the application of a magnetic field. This is opposite to the expectation that the SSE should be suppressed by a magnetic field due to the increase in the magnon gap. In this paper, the crystal-field excitations (CFE) in TbIG are calculated within a mean field theory exploiting the parameters of Terbium Gallium Garnet Tb$_3$Ga$_5$O$_{12}$ (TGG) from the neutron-scattering experimental literature. Like TGG, the primitive cell of TbIG hosts twelve Tb sites with six inequivalent magnetic sublattices, but due to the net $[111]$-molecular field from the tetrahedral and octahedral Fe ions, these can be classified into two distinct groups, the $\mathbf{C}$ and the $\mathbf{C'}$ sites, which account for the `double umbrella' magnetic structure. We show that when an external magnetic field is applied along the [111] direction of the crystal, the lowest CFE of the $\mathbf{C}$ sublattices decreases. As a consequence of the magnetic field dependence of the lowest CFE, we find that at low temperatures the SSE in TbIG can result enhanced by an applied magnetic field.

description: In this paper, we investigate properties of a symmetric Toeplitz matrix and a Hankel matrix by studying the components of its graph. To this end, we introduce the notion of ``weighted Toeplitz graph" and ``weighted Hankel graph", which are weighted graphs whose adjacency matrix are a symmetric Toeplitz matrix and a Hankel matrix, respectively. By studying the components of a weighted Toeplitz graph, we show that the Frobenius normal form of a symmetric Toeplitz matrix is a direct sum of symmetric irreducible Toeplitz matrices. Similarly, by studying the components of a weighted Hankel matrix, we show that the Frobenius normal form of a Hankel matrix is a direct sum of irreducible Hankel matrices.

description: This contract celebrates the marriage of Moses, son of Judah, and Esther, daughter of Isaac, that took place in 1900 in Cochin, South India. According to the Indian caste system, the Jews of Cochin, very few of whom live there today, are divided into three groups: the Malabari (or black Jews) - whose namesake is the Indian coast of Malabar -, merchants who boast of their descent from King Solomon; the Paradesi (or white Jews) who arrived in Kerala during the colonial period; and the Meshuhrarim, originally slaves of Jewish merchants, who converted and were freed. The Jewish community of Cochin distinguished itself in numerous artistic fields, especially in the production of ketubbot. Based on its division into two sections, the present contract is typical of Indian production: the upper part of the document is taken up by lengthy blessings and biblical verses, written in square letters, while the lower part contains the actual wedding contract, written in a semi-cursive script. The decoration, consisting of elegant leafy branches in gold (and in yellow for some leaves), simultaneously frames and highlights the texts with its lustrous and shimmering effects.

description:
Chordomas are rare, locally aggressive tumors that have a high rate of recurrence, especially at the skull base. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of proton beam therapy (PBT) and carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for skull base chordoma. We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Ovid up to November 26, 2023, following the PRISMA statement. Studies involving more than 10 patients with skull base chordoma treated with PBT or CIRT were included. The outcomes analyzed were local control, overall survival, progression-free survival, and toxicities. Meta-analysis was performed using the Mantel–Haenszel method and the inverse variance method. Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 1,145 patients (671 treated with PBT and 474 with CIRT). No significant difference was found between PBT and CIRT for 5-year local control (LC) and overall survival (OS). The only timepoint with a difference in local control was at 3 years, when PBT showed an advantage in local control (90% vs. 83% for CIRT; p = 0.05) and progression-free survival was similar (94% for PBT vs. 83% for CIRT; p = 0.09). Sensitivity analysis and meta-regression revealed no significant influence of predefined parameters on outcomes. Publication bias was suggested by asymmetrical funnel plots. Both PBT and CIRT are effective treatments for skull base chordoma, with comparable long-term efficacy. This meta-analysis underscores the need for individualized treatment approaches and further research to refine these therapies in clinical practice.

description: We explore the electronic and magnetic properties of NH$_4^+$-intercalated vanadium pentoxide (NH$_4^+$-V$_2$O$_5$), a material that has been identified as a promising cathode for aqueous zinc-ion batteries. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations incorporating the Hubbard U correction reveal that NH$_4^+$-V$_2$O$_5$ is an antiferromagnetic insulator with an energy gap of 1.97 eV. The introduction of NH$_4^+$ ions into the V$_2$O$_5$ structure results in significant structural distortions, leading to the formation of magnetic vanadium ions (V$^{4+}$, $3d^1$) and non-magnetic ions (V$^{5+}$, $3d^0$). The magnetic vanadium ions are organized into chains with antiferromagnetic order along the $a$-axis. Our findings indicate that NH$_4^+$-V$_2$O$_5$ exhibits strong electron correlation effects and negligible interchain magnetic interactions, rendering it a promising candidate for a one-dimensional magnetic van der Waals system. This work provides insights into the electronic and magnetic behaviors of NH$_4^+$-V$_2$O$_5$, with implications for its potential applications in energy storage technologies.

description:
In the face of unpredictable climate patterns, crop growth and yield are becoming increasingly vulnerable, with rice—a staple food crop—being no exception. While much attention has been paid to heat stress and its impact on crops, the effects of cold stress on rice remain underexplored. Cold stress can induce the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), impair membrane fluidity, inhibit normal growth, degrade proteins, and disrupt photosynthesis (Xu et al., 2023). To combat cold stress, rice plants have developed a mechanism that includes the accumulation of secondary metabolites like anthocyanins, which are regulated by the MYB-bHLH-WD (MBW) transcription factor complex (Schulz et al., 2015; Xu et al., 2015). Wei et al. (2019) demonstrated that TTG1, a WD40 protein that is part of the MBW complex, plays a critical role in regulating plant pigmentation, vegetative and reproductive growth, and abiotic stress responses, including salt and osmotic stress (Wei et al., 2019). However, how TTG1 responds to cold stress in rice had not been thoroughly studied until recently.

description:
Objective To examine the effect of the male partner's entry into payroll tax‐exempt earnings on the female partner's labor market outcomes. Background Employees only pay payroll taxes up to a specific limit, which results in a comparatively greater increase in the take‐home pay of individuals who earn labor incomes above this threshold. We argue that returns from payroll‐exempt labor are gendered: That is, because men are more likely high earners than women, they will more often benefit from the payroll tax ceiling. This increases the labor market returns of men and sets substantial incentives within couples to reduce the paid labor of the secondary earner. Method We use panel data from the United States (PSID) to examine changes in women's annual work hours, hourly wages, and earnings over the partner's entry into payroll tax‐exempt labor (treatment) using fixed‐effect models with individual slopes. The models enable us to assess women's labor market outcomes while adjusting for heterogeneous within‐couple earnings differential slopes before treatment in addition to any time‐constant heterogeneity. Our sample contains 7297 women providing 65,811 observations. Results Women's earnings on average diminished by 4% after the partner breaks through the payroll tax contribution threshold. This was mostly explained by changes in annual work hours, which on average decreased by 4%. We did not find reduced hourly wages in the short run. Conclusion We conclude that payroll exemptions for high earners reinforce gender inequality within upper‐income couples, which is a link hitherto missed in the literature.

description: Machine translation (MT) in the medical domain plays a pivotal role in enhancing healthcare quality and disseminating medical knowledge. Despite advancements in English-Thai MT technology, common MT approaches often underperform in the medical field due to their inability to precisely translate medical terminologies. Our research prioritizes not merely improving translation accuracy but also maintaining medical terminology in English within the translated text through code-switched (CS) translation. We developed a method to produce CS medical translation data, fine-tuned a CS translation model with this data, and evaluated its performance against strong baselines, such as Google Neural Machine Translation (NMT) and GPT-3.5/GPT-4. Our model demonstrated competitive performance in automatic metrics and was highly favored in human preference evaluations. Our evaluation result also shows that medical professionals significantly prefer CS translations that maintain critical English terms accurately, even if it slightly compromises fluency. Our code and test set are publicly available https://github.com/preceptorai-org/NLLB_CS_EM_NLP2024.

description:
Bioactive fatty acid-derived oxylipin molecules play key roles mediating inflammation and oxidative stress. Circulating levels of fatty acids and oxylipins are influenced by environmental and genetic factors; characterizing the genetic architecture of bioactive lipids could yield new insights into underlying biology. We performed a genome wide association study (GWAS) of 81 fatty acids and oxylipins in 11,584 Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) participants with genetic and lipidomic data measured at study baseline (58.6% female, mean age = 46.1 years (standard deviation 13.8)). Additionally, given the effects of central obesity on inflammation, we examined interactions with waist circumference using two-degree-of-freedom joint tests. Thirty-three of the 81 oxylipins and fatty acids were significantly heritable (heritability range: 0-32.7%). Forty (49.4%) oxylipins and fatty acids had at least one genome-wide significant (p< 6.94E-11) variant resulting in 19 independent genetic loci. Six loci (lead variant minor allele frequency [MAF] range: 0.08-0.50), including desaturase-encoding FADS and OATP1B1 transporter protein-encoding SLCO1B1, exhibited associations with two or more fatty acids and oxylipins. At several of these loci, there was evidence of colocalization of the top variant across fatty acids and oxylipins. The remaining loci were only associated with one oxylipin or fatty acid and included several CYP loci. We also identified an additional rare variant (MAF = 0.002) near CARS2 in two-degree-of-freedom tests. Our analyses revealed shared and distinct genetic architecture underlying fatty acids and oxylipins, providing insights into genetic factors and motivating work to characterize these compounds and elucidate their roles in disease.
Spinor Adjoints, Gauge Invariance and a new Road to Sterile Neutrinos

description: In this work, we analyze the possibilities of certain gauge transformations regarding some specific spinorial dual structures. To this end, we define a general structure, which can be expressed in terms of discrete symmetry operators associated with parity, charge conjugation, and time reversal. To this end, we consider the demand of tensor covariance of the spinor bilinears under space-time transformations and also deep algebraic considerations such as the invertibility of the dual structure which guarantee that the physical information remains unchanged (respecting the Fierz-Pauli-Kofink identities), and so on. Later, we examine the global gauge freedom implicated by each choice of dual and point out the physical implications. The final goal is achieved by establishing a well-defined coupling between the Elko and standard model neutrinos in a prelude for a new formulation of the hypothetical so-called sterile neutrino.

description:
Hydroxyacetone (HA) is an atmospheric oxidation product of isoprene and other organic precursors that can form brown carbon (BrC). Measured bulk aqueous-phase reaction rates of HA with ammonium sulfate, methylamine, and glycine suggest that these reactions cannot compete with aqueous-phase hydroxyl radical oxidation. In cloud chamber photooxidation experiments with either gaseous or particulate HA in the presence of the same N-containing species, BrC formation was minor, with similar mass absorption coefficients at 365 nm (<0.05 m2 g–1). However, rapid changes observed in aerosol volume and gas-phase species concentrations suggest that the lack of BrC was not due to slow reactivity. Filter-based UHPLC/(+)ESI-HR-QTOFMS analysis revealed that the SOA became heavily oligomerized, with average molecular masses of ∼400 amu in all cases. Oligomers contained, on average, 3.9 HA, 1.5 ammonia, and 1.6 other small aldehydes, including, in descending order of abundance, acetaldehyde, glycolaldehyde, glyoxal, and methylglyoxal. PTR-ToF-MS confirmed the production of these aldehydes. We identify C17H26O5, C10H22O9, C15H27NO7, C17H23NO5, and C18H32N2O9 as potential tracer ions for HA oligomers. We hypothesize that efficient oligomerization without substantial BrC production is due to negligible N-heterocycle (e.g., imidazoles/pyrazines) formation. While HA photooxidation is unlikely a significant atmospheric BrC source, it may contribute significantly to aqueous SOA formation.
