Subjects: Health Care

description: The problem we will address in this article is related to the selection process in the organizationsand the tendency to reject candidates who are described as “job hoppers” or ones who make frequent changes to their job positions. This generally causes certain levels of stress and anxiety, on the one hand for the candidates, and on the other hand, for the professionals involved in the selection process.Based on several studies of leading online job portals such as LinkedIn, CareerBuilder, Robert Half International and our own observations, we have outlined options for identifying the problem and approaches for solving it.
Passive Surveillance of Transient Ischemic Attacks in the Emergency Department: Validity of Administrative Data and Determinants of Inaccuracies in Data Coding

description: Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and transient ischemic attacks (TIA) are an ideal target for stroke prevention strategies. Administrative data are an important source of information for TIA research, but they have not been validated in the emergency department (ED). We aimed to determine the validity of TIA codes in the Canadian ED administrative database and the predictors of accurate TIA coding. We studied patients presenting to the ED with acute neurological symptoms. The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) database diagnosis codes were compared to the ED chart re-abstraction and 90-day final clinical diagnoses to obtain the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values. The sensitivity of TIA codes was low to moderate (37-64%), but the specificity was high (82-93%). Quality of physician documentation was an important predictor of data accuracy. Our findings inform TIA research and surveillance methods and we identify an opportunity for improving administrative data quality.

description: There is no evidence in the literature that the seed activity and implantation pattern recommended for permanent breast seed implant (PBSI) are optimal. These planning parameters were systematically evaluated to determine an optimal planning strategy for PBSI. A simple model was used to investigate planning strategies incorporating various Pd-103 seed activities, needle and seed spacings, and implants in which seed positions are either restricted to or permitted outside of spherical target volumes. To address more realistic geometries, model parameters were used to re-plan a 5-patient cohort in MIM Symphony. The results confirm that the current clinical needle-to-needle and seed-to-seed spacing provides the most favourable dose distributions, given the limitations imposed by the implant apparatus. However, a drastic improvement in dose homogeneity, with equivalent coverage and conformity, can be achieved by implanting seeds beyond the PTV within a 0.3 – 0.5 cm margin, and optimizing seed activity on a per patient basis.

A Study of Symptom Content of Perceptual Abnormalities in Individuals at Clinical High Risk of Psychosis

description: Perceptual abnormalities (PA) are frequently endorsed attenuated psychotic symptoms in youth at clinical high risk (CHR) of psychosis. However, few studies have explored the subtypes of PA and their relationships with the above environmental and affective factors in CHR. Four hundred and forty one CHR individuals who met criteria for attenuated psychotic symptom syndrome (APSS) determined by the Structured Interview for Psychosis-risk Syndromes (SIPS) were assessed on content of PA, early traumatic experience, cannabis use and self-reported anxiety, attention and auditory sensory processing. Overall, it was found that both simple auditory and simple visual PA were associated with traumatic experiences, current cannabis use and increased anxiety. In addition, complex auditory PA were found to be linked to reduced attention. There was no evidence to support a relationship between auditory PA and electrophysiological measure of auditory sensory processing. Furthermore, those who made the transition to a full-blown psychosis were more likely to have complex auditory PA. Finally, for those who did convert to psychosis, an examination of any changes in content from baseline to the time of conversions suggested that PA content progressed to being more specific and concrete, with more modalities involved and with a development of delusional attributions. The results of this study suggest that simple PA might be secondary symptoms of trauma, cannabis use and anxiety rather than early signs of a psychotic disorder. Early presence of complex auditory PA at prodromal stage could potentially be considered as an indicator for later psychotic outcome.

description: The article discusses the problem of controlling the degree of intensification of the absorption process of NH 3 purified brine and CO 2 ammoniated brine in the technology of soda ash production. It is known that the aforementioned gases upon contact with brine the reaction proceeds with liberation of a considerable quantitative via heat. Increasing temperatures s lead to reduced NIJ output and finished products. Timely control of the withdrawal requires maintaining the degree of intensification of the heat exchange process at a certain level while maintaining the ratio of the absorption and cooling zones of the absorption tower. To intensify the heat transfer process, an efficient pipe with smoothly outlined diaphragms inside and similar grooves outside with different pitches of placement of spiral turbulators obtained by rolling is used. The experiments were carried out in the transitional region of the fluid flow with a change in the pitch of the turbulators h / S = 0.0091-0.08, and the depth of the grooves S / D = 0.7-7.0. Based on experimental studies on heat transfer inside and outside the pipes, the main regularities have been revealed for the flow of water inside the pipes and gas-liquid flow outside. Experimental data showed the intensification of heat transfer depending on the pitch of the turbulators by 2.2-2.9 times and in the annular space 1.8-2.05 times as compared with a smooth pipe. By summarizing the experimental data, criterion formulas are derived for calculating the degree of heat transfer intensity both in the channels and in the annular space. Based on the obtained data on the heat transfer coefficient, the heat transfer coefficient s was calculated and presented in the form of a graph K = f (S / D , Re). Analysis of figure 1 shows the presence of a region of maximum values of the heat transfer coefficient for all Reynolds numbers of the transition region of fluid flow , which falls in the interval S / D = 1.0-1.4 .

description: We investigate the instabilities of interacting electrons on the honeycomb bilayer by means of the functional renormalization group for a range of interactions up to the third-nearest neighbor. Besides a novel instability toward a gapless charge-density wave we find that using interaction parameters as determined by ab-initio calculations for graphene and graphite puts the system close to the boundary between antiferromagnetic and quantum spin Hall instabilities. Importantly, the energy scales for these instabilities are large such that imperfections and deviations from the basic model are expected to play a major role in real bilayer graphene, where interaction effects seem to be seen only at smaller scales. We therefore analyze how reducing the critical scale and small doping of the layers affect the instabilities.

description: The objective of the study was to determine whether maternal stress affects early development in zebrafish (Danio rerio). The hypothesis was that maternal stress will lead to excess cortisol deposition in the embryos, and this will compromise the larval stress response and locomotor activity. Maternal stress and the attendant rise in cortisol levels led to excess cortisol deposition, but only transiently in the embryos. This was kept in check by cortisol-induced stimulation of 11βHSD2, a cortisol-degrading enzyme, in the ovarian follicles. Excess embryo cortisol content disrupted the larval stress response, locomotor activity, and was anxiolytic. These phenotypes corresponded with increased region-specific neurogenesis. Post-hatch elevation in cortisol levels by waterborne exposure, mimicking a stress response, increased locomotor activity but did not impact anxiety behaviour. Overall, maternal stress alters larval stress and behavioural phenotypes, underpinning a distinct developmental effect associated with elevated zygotic cortisol content in zebrafish.

description: In the mining and metallurgical industry, in addition to raw materials, the quantitative volume of technological operations has a significant impact on the cost of the extracted metal. As practice shows, the most energy-intensive process is crushing of rocks, which accounts for 30-50% of all production costs. In this connection, the management of this process is one of the main technical and economic factors in the chain of rock dressing. In this paper, the mathematical function of the ball mill MSHTs 75×55 is derived, on the basis of which a computer model is built in the SIMULINK subsystem of the Matlab software package. As a result, the transient and impulse characteristics of the mill were built, and the stability of the system was determined from the calculated transfer function.

In dimension two, we point out that it tends to infinity when the initial (relative) temperature tends to zero. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first result of this kind for the inviscid Boussinesq system. In passing, we provide continuation criteria (of independent interest) in the $N$-dimensional case. In the second part of the paper, our method is adapted to handle the axisymmetric incompressible Euler equations with swirl.

In an alternative approach, in two exponential and power law form of the scalar field functions in the model, field equations are solved by simultaneously best fitting the model parameters with the most recent observational data. This approach gives us an observationally verified interpretation of the dynamics of the universe. We then discuss the best fitted of equation of state parameter, the statefinder parameters and the reconstructed scalar field in the model.

description: The rapid development and expansion of cities prompts significant species declines and changes in wildlife population, behavior, and genetic flow. In some fragmenting landscapes, conservation managers have engaged in functional connectivity (FC) initiatives as a countermeasure. It can help identify areas to focus de-fragmentation and area characteristics (width, composition) that are crucial for animal dispersal through cities. However, its application in urban environments for this purpose is very recent. In this study, the trends of FC for urban wildlife were reviewed; a GIS-multicriteria fuzzy logic expert consensus approach for modeling expert knowledge to form group consensus opinions was developed; and seasonal changes in FC for coyotes in the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, were evaluated. The suitability models produced from the consensus approach were validated with empirical data and used to assess FC for urban coyotes. FC validated with road mortality data was only significant during the dispersal period and not during pup-rearing or breeding. This dispersal period network likely reflected transient and disperser connectivity not resident. Priority areas and their connectivity contributions identified from this study can help inform the direction of City of Calgary urban green infrastructure development.
Beliefs about English: Korean postsecondary short-term study abroad learners in Canada
Creators: name: Kim, You Mi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: English has been associated with “development” and “globalization” (Pennycook, 2007; Phillipson, 2008) and the importance of English education has been emphasized in many countries including South Korea. As the notion of “English as a global language” spreads, skills in English are emphasized as compulsory to live in a global world and an increasing number of students leave their home countries to acquire such skills (Park & Bae, 2009; Waters, 2006). Their motivation to pursue language learning is closely related to their beliefs about the target language; these beliefs are not neutral or objective but ideologically shaped. However, English language learners’ beliefs in relation to ideologies have not been sufficiently explored. Drawing on the concept of language ideology (Thompson, 1990; Woolard, 1998), this study investigates the beliefs of English language learners—specifically, postsecondary Korean adults who participate in short-term study abroad in Canada—toward English, learning English, and using English. It also examines how these beliefs influence the learners’ notions of their mother tongue and study abroad experiences. The study identifies two core values that such learners place on English: (1) English is a competitive tool which enables them to get a job in Korea and (2) English is a global language which enables them to connect to other foreigners throughout the world. The study found that the participants viewed Korean—their mother tongue—as a local language only for Koreans. In addition, they believed they would acquire English skills at a native speaker’s level of fluency through simple exposure and in a relatively short time. Thus, they struggled with negative self images as ashamed and inferior learners. These results indicate a need for a critical approach to English education.

description: Formation energy of the σ-phase in the Fe-V alloy system, ΔE, was computed in the full compositional range of its occurrence (34 < x < 60) using the electronic band structure calculations by means of the KKR method. ΔE-values were found to strongly depend on the Fe concentration, also its variation with different site occupancies was characteristic of a given lattice site. Calculated magnetic and configuration entropy contributions were used to determine sublattice occupancies for various compositions and temperatures. The results agree well with those obtained from neutron diffraction measurements.

description: The Bs-Bsbar mixing phase, beta_s, can be extracted from Bs -> K0(*) K0bar(*), but there is a theoretical error if the second amplitude, Vub* Vus P'uc, is non-negligible. Ciuchini, Pierini and Silvestrini (CPS) have suggested measuring Puc in Bd -> K0(*) K0bar(*), and relating it to P'uc using SU(3). For their choice of the direct and indirect CP asymmetries in Bd -> K0(*) K0bar(*), they find that the error on beta_s is very small, even allowing for 100% SU(3) breaking. In this paper, we re-examine the CPS method, allowing for a large range of the Bd -> K0(*) K0bar(*) observables. We find that the theoretical error in the extraction of beta_s can be quite large, up to 18 degrees. This problem can be ameliorated if the value of SU(3) breaking were known, and we discuss different ways, both experimental and theoretical, of determining this quantity.

description: This research presents a novel single-architecture universal shift register/counter with an integrated memory unit. A full swing gate diffusion input (GDI) flip-flop is designed and implemented in both a synchronous counter and a universal shift register. SRAMs are mostly utilized as cache memory due to their ability to retain data when the power is ON. Hence, a 4 × 4 SRAM-based on full swing gate diffusion input flip-flop is developed to act as a memory for the proposed single-architecture universal shift register / Counter with the memory unit. To enhance performance, a 4 × 4 SRAM based on the proposed GDI flip-flop is incorporated as the memory unit. The design aims to improve key performance metrics, including clock-to-Q delay, power-delay product, area, and static power consumption. Simulation results demonstrate a 25% reduction in clock-to-Q delay, 30% reduction in D-to-Q delay, 20.2% reduction in power-delay product, 14.9% reduction in area, and 28.6% reduction in static power consumption compared to conventional D-flip-flop designs. The proposed architecture is validated through simulations using Tanner EDA at 1.2 V operating conditions, confirming its efficiency and potential applicability in high-performance sequential circuits.

The role of keratinocyte alpha v beta6 integrin in the regulation of transforming growth factor beta during wound healing
Creators: name: Eslami, Ameneh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The stratified squamous epithelium of skin and mucosa is mostly formed from keratinocytes and protects the organism from its surrounding environment. Any damage to this protective layer is restored through re-epithelialization – an essential part of wound healing. Therefore, studying the regulatory mechanisms of keratinocytes during re-epithelialization is important in understanding the processes involved in both normal and impaired wound healing. The keratinocyte αvβ6 integrin is induced during wound healing. Interestingly, αvβ6 integrin can activate both fibrogenic transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and anti-fibrogenic TGF-β3. The role of αvβ6 integrin, however, especially in regards to the regulation of TGF-βs, during wound healing, is largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the potential for the αvβ6 integrin-mediated regulation of TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 during wound healing in gingival and skin wound tissue sections. Furthermore, we investigated the possible regulatory mechanisms of TGF-β1 activity by αvβ6 integrin in keratinocytes. Spatio-temporal co-accumulation of αvβ6 integrin with TGF-β1 and TGF-β3 in the wound epithelium suggested that αvβ6 integrin may locally regulate both isoforms during wound healing. Prolonged co-expression of αvβ6 integrin and TGF-β3 in the scar-free gingival wound epithelium may potentially have an important role in the protection of gingiva from scarring. Our in vitro data showed that keratinocytes responded differentially to low levels of endogenously produced TGF-β1 compared to high amount of extracellular matrix (ECM)-bound latent TGF-β1. While the data were suggestive of activating endogenous TGF-β1 by the keratinocyte αvβ6 integrin, high levels of ECM-associated TGF-β1 was removed by keratinocytes in the presence of αvβ6 integrin allowing them to overcome the TGF-β1-mediated inhibitory effects on the cell proliferation. Taken together, our data showed a potential for the αvβ6 integrin-mediated local regulation of TGF-β1 and -β3 during wound healing. Prolonged expression and co-accumulation of αvβ6 integrin and TGF-β3 may be important in the protection of gingival wounds from scar formation. Our finding of αvβ6 integrin-mediated removal of the matrix-bound TGF-β1 in keratinocytes may be important at the time of wound closure, when keratinocytes typically show increased proliferation rate despite high levels of TGF-β1 in the surrounding matrix.
White spruce (Picea glauca) traits affecting the success of spruce beetles (Dendroctonus rufipennis) in the southwest Yukon

description: A major outbreak of spruce beetle (Dendroctonus rufipennis) occurred in the southwest Yukon between 1990 and 2007. I determined how white spruce (Picea glauca) allocation to growth, defence and reproduction affected spruce beetle population growth, and how climate mediated these interactions. Spruce beetle population growth was greatest in years when spruce grew more slowly and had fewer cones, with no detectable effect of mean summer or winter temperature. For individual spruce trees, the probability of being attacked by spruce beetles increased with decreasing relative growth rates, increasing tree diameter, and increasing number of resin ducts produced in the previous five years; cone production did not affect attack probability. Once attacked, the probability of tree death increased with both decreasing relative growth rate and number of induced resin ducts produced in the attack year. These results show that tree growth and defence but not reproduction determined spruce beetle susceptibility.

description: For conformal field theories in arbitrary dimensions, we introduce a method to derive the conformal blocks corresponding to the exchange of a traceless symmetric tensor appearing in four point functions of operators with spin. Using the embedding space formalism, we show that one can express all such conformal blocks in terms of simple differential operators acting on the basic scalar conformal blocks. This method gives all conformal blocks for conformal field theories in three dimensions. We demonstrate how this formalism can be applied in a few simple examples.

description: The IRNSS and SBAS constellations have geostationary satellites in the space segment. Geostationary satellites provide additional observations and are always visible to a given user. However, due to their small line-of-sight velocities, geostationary satellites have two unique challenges: Doppler collision and observability, both of which can affect their use in an RTK solution. The first phase of this research is aimed at understanding Doppler collision. It is a unique phenomenon in GNSS where tracking errors are introduced in the measurements due to cross-correlation between two or more satellites. Doppler collisions affect geostationary satellites for longer durations and the error resembles code multipath. If not mitigated, Doppler collision could have an impact on the ability to use code measurements of geostationary satellites in RTK positioning. This research describes likely conditions for Doppler collision, derives a Doppler collision error envelope for geostationary pseudorange measurements, and then demonstrates the effect using simulated and live signals. The second phase of this research presents the effect of Doppler collision on an RTK solution using geostationary satellites, with emphasis on ambiguity convergence time. Multiple mitigation techniques such as de-weighting of geostationary observations and use of narrow correlator are proposed to reduce the impact of Doppler collision. iii The third phase talks about the observability of a geostationary satellite. The relatively static nature of geostationary satellites leads to poor observability and has a direct impact on the convergence of ambiguities. The poor observability can limit the use of standalone constellations such as IRNSS in an RTK solution. Finally, an investigation is conducted on both hardware-simulated and live data of IRNSS to understand the impact of Doppler collision and observability. Mitigation methods are applied, and the improvement in the code measurement error and the convergence of ambiguities is presented. Overall, this thesis is aimed at addressing some of the key issues arising from the use of geostationary satellites in an RTK solution so that a multi-constellation RTK solution progresses one step closer to the possibility of an all-constellation RTK solution, including IRNSS.

description: The use of fuzzy logic in management tasks was primarily due to the increasing complexity of existing tasks. Fuzzy logic and management based on it are close to the principles of human thought. Fuzzy logic essentially provides effective means of displaying uncertainties and inaccuracies in the real world. The availability of mathematical means to reflect the fuzziness of the source information makes it possible to build a model of adequate reality.

Subjects: subject: Health sciences
subject: FOS: Health sciences

description: Purpose – This viewpoint article discusses and analyses the need and benefits of a patient safety definition within the context of nursing. Design/methodology/approach – This viewpoint article is supported by literature review, statutory documents and expert knowledge evidence. All these sources provided a unified narrative of the background, current aspects and future needs of patient safety. Findings – The need for strengthening patient safety and the nurses’ role within healthcare’s actions towards patient safety are discussed. The predominant role of nurses due to the proportionate size and significant role along with the need for clarification of patient safety in nursing terms is recognised. Research evidence of nursing areas with safety issues and relevant nursing interventions are presented. Based on all findings, a research-based nursing specific patient safety definition is proposed. This definition includes three axes: what is patient harm, how this harm can be eliminated or reduced and which are the areas of nursing practice that are identified to provide opportunity for patient harm. These axes include nursing specifications of the patient safety definition. Originality/value – It is the first time that a nurse specific patient safety definition is proposed. This definition strives to enhance nurse practitioners’ understanding and engagement with patient safety by clarifying aspects of patient safety within everyday nursing practice.

description: While the search for exoplanets around main sequence stars more massive than the Sun have found relatively few such objects, surveys performed around giant stars have led to the discovery of more than 30 new exoplanets. The interest in studying planet hosting giant stars resides in the possibility of investigating planet formation around stars more massive than the Sun. Masses of isolated giant stars up to now were only estimated from evolutionary tracks, which led to different results depending on the physics considered. To calibrate the theory, it is therefore important to measure a large number of giant star diameters and masses as much as possible independent of physical models. We aim in the determination of diameters and effective temperatures of 5 giant stars, one of which is known to host a planet. AMBER/VLTI observations with the ATs were executed in low resolution mode on 5 giant stars. In order to measure high accurate calibrated squared visibilities, a calibrator-star-calibrator observational sequence was performed. We measured the uniform disk and limb-darkened angular diameters of 4 giant stars. The effective temperatures were also derived by combining the bolometric luminosities and the interferometric diameters. Lower effective temperatures were found when compared to spectroscopic measurements. The giant star HD12438 was found to have an unknown companion star at an angular separation of ~ 12 mas. Radial velocity measurements present in the literature confirm the presence of a companion with a very long orbital period (P ~ 11.4 years).}

description: Entities are real world objects such as persons, places, or events that appear in natural language text such as web pages, news, and journals. Entity Linking, a nascent field in Natural Language Processing, is the task of linking entities in text to their referent entries in a Knowledge Base (KB), which is a repository of information such as Wikipedia. There’s a huge application of entity linking in automatic knowledge base population, prevention of identity crimes, etc. It can also provide background information about unfamiliar concepts during document reading, rendering a smooth and joyful reading experience without frequent “context switch”. This thesis taps into the power of convolutional neural network, and proposes an architecture that makes use of deep learning layers, convolution, max pooling, and fully-connected neurons with dropout to approach the problem of entity linking. Based on a pre-trained word2vec word embedding and another ad-hoc trained layer of word representation, we were able to outperform previous state-of-art models, which handcrafted a large number of features, by a modest margin. Visualization of the neural network is also provided in order to understand what happens under the hood. Our experiment showed that it clearly captured the desired features, indicating the efficacy of neural network in dealing with entity linking.
The ground beneath our speech : moral ordering in plea-based criminal justice
Creators: name: Owen, Simon Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Moral ordering is fundamental to Canada’s criminal law and justice systems, and is most explicitly encountered in post-conviction sentencing proceedings. Beginning with the premise that the law’s order is founded upon both ‘universal’ wrongs and ‘individualized’ responses, this thesis considers some of the problems and opportunities that guilty plea-based resolution processes pose for the moral ordering that criminal courts are convened to undertake. Chapter One conceptualizes sentencing hearings as formal occasions for the expressive discernment and application of moral values. ‘Proportionality’, or the gravity of an offence and the degree of responsibility borne by an offender, is the guiding principle by which courts undertake this gauging. This chapter also considers how an offender’s normative orientation towards their criminal conduct (commonly expressed as remorse) informs sentencing hearings’ function as forums of moral enquiry and ordering. Chapter Two confronts some of the practical difficulties in plea and sentencing proceedings that inhibit and distort the moral ordering that the law aspires towards. The formation and use of guilty pleas, as the dominant means by which criminal charges are formally resolved, are examined for their capacity to open or constrict avenues of moral communication. Other mechanisms, such as the statutory-based tools of offender allocution and victim impact statements, are also assessed as means by which sentencing courts are able to act as forums of informed, dialogic moral ordering. Chapter Two also considers the influence that professional legal actors have in shaping and mediating the experience of lay participants in these forums. Chapters Three and Four present empirical research into how the law’s concern for moral ordering operates in sentencing courts, with particular regard to the engagement of offenders. Eleven justice system professionals, mostly lawyers, were asked for their perspectives and experiences, and observations of four provincial courts in British Columbia were conducted to analyze a court’s “moral speech”. It was observed that while a language of moral ordering could be heard in a majority of sentencing hearings, its expression flourished in contexts that afforded focus on an offender’s full circumstances, thus drawing upon both individual voices and shared values.
