description: Purpose of Project: Many Intensive Care Units struggle with the issue of high noise levels. Decreasing noise levels is conducive for health and wellbeing of patients and staff, and enhances patient experience during their hospital stay. Methodology: This quality improvement project measured noise in two phases. The baseline noise levels were measured for four weeks (May 31, 2021 to June 25, 2021). After completing the measurement of baseline noise levels, brief information sessions were conducted among Intensive Care Unit team members about the importance of noise reduction, during the morning huddles (June 28, 2021 to July 2, 2021). A week after the completion of morning huddles, the visual noise warning device was activated and measurement of post-intervention noise levels were measured for four weeks (July 5, 2021 to July 30, 2021). Results: The mean noise levels from 8:00 am-1:00 pm before the implementation of a visual noise warning device was 64.1 decibels (dB), and post-intervention was 57.2 dB; a decrease of 10.76%. Comparatively during the evening hours (8:00 pm-1:00 am), the mean noise levels pre-intervention was 58.1 dB, and the mean noise levels post-intervention was 49.7 dB, a decrease of 14.45%. Implications for Practice: Clinical: The implementation of a visual noise warning device demonstrated noise reduction in Intensive Care Unit. It is hoped that for future studies the visual noise warning device be considered as part of an effort to reduce noise, promote healthy sleeping patterns and well-being of patients hospital-wide. Research: For the next Doctor of Nursing Practice student who wish to explore about noise reduction in a larger scope, this project may be of value as a resource, or may serve as a starting point. Policy: Revisiting hospital policies may be considered to include the importance of noise reduction in the onboarding of all hospital employees. Education: Educating all hospital workers about noise reduction. Establishing expectations about every employee’s behavioral standards enhances their accountability for maintaining a healthy sound environment.

description: We use a Bayesian inference analysis to explore the sensitivity of Taylor expansion parameters of the nuclear equation of state (EOS) to the neutron star dimensionless tidal deformability ($Λ$) on 1 to 2 solar masses neutron stars. A global power law dependence between tidal deformability and compactness parameter (M/R) is verified over this mass region. To avoid superfluous correlations between the expansion parameters, we use a correlation-free EOS model based on a recently published meta-modeling approach. We find that assumptions in the prior distribution strongly influence the constraints on $Λ$. The $Λ$ constraints obtained from the neutron star merger event GW170817 prefer low values of $L_\text{sym}$ and $K_\text{sym}$, for a canonical neutron star with 1.4 solar mass. For neutron star with mass $<1.6$ solar mass, $L_\text{sym}$ and $K_\text{sym}$ are highly correlated with the tidal deformability. For more massive neutron stars, the tidal deformability is more strongly correlated with higher order Taylor expansion parameters.

description: All elementary Hamiltonians in nature are expected to be invariant under rotation. Despite this restriction, we usually assume that any arbitrary measurement or unitary time evolution can be implemented on a physical system, an assumption whose validity is not obvious. We introduce two different schemes by which any arbitrary unitary time evolution and measurement can be implemented with desired accuracy by using rotationally invariant Hamiltonians that act on the given system and two ancillary systems serving as reference frames. These frames specify the z and x directions and are independent of the desired time evolution. We also investigate the effects of quantum fluctuations that inevitably arise due to usage of a finite system as a reference frame and estimate how fast these fluctuations tend to zero when the size of the reference frame tends to infinity. Moreover we prove that for a general symmetry any symmetric quantum operations can be implemented just by using symmetric interactions and ancillas in the symmetric states.

description: In this paper, an $n$-user Gaussian interference channel, where the power of the transmitters are subject to some upper-bounds is studied. We obtain a closed-form expression for the rate region of such a channel based on the Perron-Frobenius theorem. While the boundary of the rate region for the case of unconstrained power is a well-established result, this is the first result for the case of constrained power. We extend this result to the time-varying channels and obtain a closed-form solution for the rate region of such channels.

description: The narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS 07598+6508 is known to be a stong Fe II emitter. The analysis of several high S/N ratio spectra shows that its spectrum is dominated by a relatively narrow "broad line" region (1 780 km s$^{-1}$ FWHM) emitting not only Fe II, but also Ti II and Cr II lines. Although we were unable to find a completely satisfactory physical model, we got the best agreement with the observations with collisional rather than radiative models, with a high density (n=10$^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$), a high column density (N$_{H}$=10$^{25}$ cm$^{-2}$) and a microturbulence of 100 km s$^{-1}$. This BLR is qualitatively similar to the one observed in I Zw 1. We have not found traces in IRAS 07598+6508 of the narrow line regions found in I Zw 1.

description: Our study presents a dialect normalization method for different Finland Swedish dialects covering six regions. We tested 5 different models, and the best model improved the word error rate from 76.45 to 28.58. Contrary to results reported in earlier research on Finnish dialects, we found that training the model with one word at a time gave best results. We believe this is due to the size of the training data available for the model. Our models are accessible as a Python package. The study provides important information about the adaptability of these methods in different contexts, and gives important baselines for further study.

description: Background: In U.S. death records, many drug overdoses do not have classified drug involvement, which challenges surveillance of opioid overdoses across time and space.Objective: To estimate the 2017–2018 change in opioid overdose deaths that accounts for probable opioid involvement in unclassified drug overdose deaths.Methods: In this retrospective design study, data on all drug overdose decedents from 2017–2018 in the U.S. were used to calculate the year-to-year change in known opioid overdoses, predict opioid involvement in unclassified drug overdoses, and estimate the year-to-year change in corrected opioid overdoses, which include both known and predicted opioid deaths. We used the Multiple Cause of Death (MCOD) data from CDC.Results: We estimated that the decrease in the age-adjusted opioid overdose death rate from 2017–2018 was 7.0%. There is a striking variation across states. Age-adjusted opioid overdose death rates decreased by 9.9% in Ohio and more than 5.0% in other Appalachian states (Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky), while they increased by 6.8% in Delaware.Conclusions: Our models suggest that opioid overdose-related mortality declined from 2017 to 2018 at a higher rate than reported (7.0% versus than the reported 2.0%), potentially indicating that clinical efforts and federal, state, and local government policies designed to control the epidemic have been effective in most states. Our local area estimates can be used by researchers, policy-makers and public health officials to assess effectiveness of state policies and interventions in smaller jurisdictions implemented in response to the crisis.

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties, essential for correct heart function. To study the protective cardiovascular effects of selenium in adolescent rats exposed to a BD-like procedure. 32 adolescent male rats exposed to an intraperitoneally BD-like model or not, and supplemented with 0.4ppm of selenite or not, were divided into 4 groups: control, alcohol, control-selenium and alcohol-selenium. Blood pressure and heart rate (HR) were determined after experimentation. Se deposits, oxidative balance and the expression of glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), NF-kB and caspase-3 were measured in the heart. Also, DNA instability in rat lymphocytes and serum vascular markers were determined. Statistical analysis was performed with the ANOVA model. The BD-like model depleted Se heart deposits (p p p p p p p p p p p p Se supplementation presents cardioprotective effects since it reversed HR and systolic blood pressure observed in BD-exposed adolescent rats.

It is shown that HfF^+ has deeply bound ^1Σ^+ ground state, its dissociation energy is D_e=6.4 eV. The ^3Δ_1 state is obtained to be the relatively long-lived first excited state lying about 0.2 eV higher.

description: We investigated the influence of oxygen over-stoichiometry on apical oxygen disorder and magnetic correlations in Nd2NiO4+d (d~0.11) in the temperature range of 2-300 K by means of synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, neutron single crystal and powder diffraction studies, combined with macroscopic magnetic measurements. In the investigated temperature range, the compound crystalizes in a tetragonal commensurate structure with the P42/ncm space group with excess oxygen atoms occupy the 4b (3/4 1/4 1/4) interstitial sites, coordinated by four apical oxygen atoms. Large and anisotropic thermal displacement parameters are found for equatorial and apical oxygen atoms, which are strongly reduced on an absolute scale compared to the Nd2NiO4.23 phase. Maximum Entropy analysis of the neutron single crystal diffraction data uncovered anharmonic contributions to the displacement parameters of the apical oxygen atoms, toward the nearest vacant 4b interstitial site, related to the phonon assisted oxygen diffusion mechanism. Macroscopic magnetization measurements and neutron powder diffraction studies reveal long-range antiferromagnetic ordering of the Ni-sublattice at TN ~ 53 K with a weak ferromagnetic component along the c-axis, while the long-range magnetic ordering of the Nd-sublattice occurs below 10 K. Temperature dependent neutron diffraction patterns show the appearance of a commensurate magnetic order at TN with the propagation vector k = (100) and the emergence of an additional incommensurate phase below 30 K, while both phases coexist at 2 K. The commensurate magnetic structure is best described by the P42/nc`m` Shubnikov space group. Refined magnetic moments of the Ni and Nd-sites at 2 K are 1.144(76) muB and 1.632(52) muB respectively. A possible origin of the incommensurate phase is discussed and a tentative magnetic phase diagram is proposed.

description: We consider the quantum correlations, i.e. the entanglement, between two systems uniformly accelerated with identical acceleration a in opposite Rindler quadrants which have reached thermal equilibrium with the Unruh heat bath. To this end we study an exactly soluble model consisting of two oscillators coupled to a massless scalar field in 1+1 dimensions. We find that for some values of the parameters the oscillators get entangled shortly after the moment of closest approach. Because of boost invariance there are an infinite set of pairs of positions where the oscillators are entangled. The maximal entanglement between the oscillators is found to be approximately 1.4 entanglement bits.

title: Survival of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in England: investigating the socioeconomic inequalities
Creators: name: Smith, M
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2021

description: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a heterogeneous group of malignancies characterised by various behaviours and prognoses. Two of the most common subtypes are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma, where patients with either can have markedly different health outcomes. Survival probability is commonly used to measure the performance of a healthcare system in managing cancer patient health outcomes in a population, such as England. In England, the National Health Service is responsible for the care and management of patients and their health outcomes, and is committed to providing equal access to healthcare regardless of the patient’s underlying characteristics. However, although cancer patients are now more likely to live to 5 years after diagnosis, there are vast inequalities in survival between patient characteristics. Socioeconomic inequalities in survival, for all cancers, have narrowed since the late 20th century but these socioeconomic-gaps in survival persist. Comorbidity, the presence of a chronic disease unrelated to the cancer, is more prevalent amongst individuals living in more deprived areas. These socioeconomic gaps in survival may be explained by the presence of comorbid conditions or by the interaction between patients and the healthcare system. The aim of this PhD is to investigate the inequalities in survival of patients with non- Hodgkin lymphoma in England using population-based cancer registry data linked to other population-based health outcomes databases. This thesis includes one paper investigating the association between patient and healthcare pathway characteristics and long-term survival probabilities, another paper that focuses on inequalities in short-term survival probability, and a final paper on inequalities in diagnostic delay. An additional paper was written concurrently to this thesis that provides a tutorial on the methods, amongst others, that were used for the paper investigating short-term survival.

description: We present an analysis of multi-wavelength observations of an area of 0.27 deg x 0.27 deg around the Galactic HII region G18.88-0.49, which is powered by an O-type star (age ~10^5 years). The Herschel column density map reveals a shell-like feature of extension ~12 pc x 7 pc and mass ~2.9 x 10^4 Msun around the HII region; its existence is further confirmed by the distribution of molecular (12CO, 13CO, C18O, and NH3) gas at [60, 70] km/s. Four subregions are studied toward this shell-like feature, and show a mass range of ~0.8-10.5 x 10^3 Msun. These subregions associated with dense gas are dominated by non-thermal pressure and supersonic non-thermal motions. The shell-like feature is associated with the HII region, Class I protostars, and a massive protostar candidate, illustrating the ongoing early phases of star formation (including massive stars). The massive protostar is found toward the position of the 6.7 GHz methanol maser, and is associated with outflow activity. Five parsec-scale filaments are identified in the column density and molecular maps, and appear to be radially directed to the dense parts of the shell-like feature. This configuration is referred to as a "hub-filament" system. Significant velocity gradients (0.8-1.8 km/s/pc) are observed along each filament, suggesting that the molecular gas flows towards the central hub along the filaments. Overall, our observational findings favor a global non-isotropic collapse scenario as discussed in Motte et al. (2018), which can explain the observed morphology and star formation in and around G18.88-0.49.

description: Phase contrast transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful tool for imaging the local atomic structure of materials. TEM has been used heavily in studies of defect structures of 2D materials such as monolayer graphene due to its high dose efficiency. However, phase contrast imaging can produce complex nonlinear contrast, even for weakly-scattering samples. It is therefore difficult to develop fully-automated analysis routines for phase contrast TEM studies using conventional image processing tools. For automated analysis of large sample regions of graphene, one of the key problems is segmentation between the structure of interest and unwanted structures such as surface contaminant layers. In this study, we compare the performance of a conventional Bragg filtering method to a deep learning routine based on the U-Net architecture. We show that the deep learning method is more general, simpler to apply in practice, and produces more accurate and robust results than the conventional algorithm. We provide easily-adaptable source code for all results in this paper, and discuss potential applications for deep learning in fully-automated TEM image analysis.

We Can Detect Your Bias: Predicting the Political Ideology of News Articles

description: We explore the task of predicting the leading political ideology or bias of news articles. First, we collect and release a large dataset of 34,737 articles that were manually annotated for political ideology -left, center, or right-, which is well-balanced across both topics and media. We further use a challenging experimental setup where the test examples come from media that were not seen during training, which prevents the model from learning to detect the source of the target news article instead of predicting its political ideology. From a modeling perspective, we propose an adversarial media adaptation, as well as a specially adapted triplet loss. We further add background information about the source, and we show that it is quite helpful for improving article-level prediction. Our experimental results show very sizable improvements over using state-of-the-art pre-trained Transformers in this challenging setup.

Wide-Angle Invisible Dielectric Metasurface Driven by Transverse Kerker Scattering

description: Interference is the cornerstone of Huygens source design for reshaping and controlling scattering patterns. The conventional underpinning principle, such as for the Kerker effect, is the interference of electric and magnetic dipole and quadrupole modes. Here a route to realize transverse Kerker scattering through employing only the interference between the electric dipole and magnetic quadrupole is demonstrated. The proposed approach is numerically validated in an ultra-thin Silicon square nanoplate metasurface, and is further verified by multipole decomposition. The metasurface is shown to be invisible fornear-infrared wavelengths and with an enhanced electric field in the region of the nanoparticle. Additionally, we develop further the proposed approach with practical implementation for invisibility applications by exploring the effects of the aspect ratio of the square plate nanoresonator, the inter-particle separation, and the presence of a substrate. Further it is demonstrated that invisibility can be observed at oblique incidence up to 60° for a transverse magnetic plane wave. The results are relevant for Huygens metasurface design for perfect reflectors, invisibility and devices for harmonic generation manipulation.

description: We investigate the competition between superconductivity and ferromagnetism in chaotic ultra-small metallic grains in a regime where both phases can coexist. We use an effective Hamiltonian that combines a BCS-like pairing term and a ferromagnetic Stoner-like spin exchange term. We study the transport properties of the grain in the Coulomb blockade regime and identify signatures of the coexistence between pairing and exchange correlations in the mesoscopic fluctuations of the conductance peak spacings and peak heights.

The mysterious diffuse UV radiation and Axion Quark Nugget dark matter model

description: It has been recently argued [1-3] that there is a strong component of the diffuse far-ultraviolet (FUV) background which is hard to explain by conventional physics in terms of the dust-scattered starlight. We propose that this excess in FUV radiation might be result of the dark matter annihilation events within the so-called axion quark nugget (AQN) dark matter model, which was originally invented for completely different purpose to explain the observed similarity between the dark and the visible components in the Universe, i.e. $Ω_{\rm DM}\sim Ω_{\rm visible}$. We support this proposal by demonstrating that intensity and the spectral features of the AQN induced emissions are consistent with the corresponding characteristics of the observed excess of the FUV radiation. If the future studies confirm the puzzling characteristics observed in [1-3] it might unlock a much more deeper and fundamental problem of modern cosmology-- it may reveal the nature of the dark matter.

description: We consider the sum $\sum 1/γ$, where $γ$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in an interval $(0,T]$, and consider the behaviour of the sum as $T \to\infty$. We show that, after subtracting a smooth approximation $\frac{1}{4π} \log^2(T/2π),$ the sum tends to a limit $H \approx -0.0171594$ which can be expressed as an integral. We calculate $H$ to high accuracy, using a method which has error $O((\log T)/T^2)$. Our results improve on earlier results by Hassani and other authors.

description: We consider static circularly symmetric solution of three-dimensional Einstein's equations with negative cosmological constant (the BTZ black hole). The case of zero cosmological constant corresponding to the interior region of a black hole is analyzed in detail. We prove that the maximally extended BTZ solution with zero cosmological constant coincides with flat three-dimensional Minkowskian space-time without any singularity and horizons. The Euclidean version of this solution is shown to have physical interpretation in the geometric theory of defects in solids describing combined wedge and screw dislocations.

description: Online nonnegative matrix factorization (ONMF) is a matrix factorization technique in the online setting where data are acquired in a streaming fashion and the matrix factors are updated each time. This enables factor analysis to be performed concurrently with the arrival of new data samples. In this article, we demonstrate how one can use online nonnegative matrix factorization algorithms to learn joint dictionary atoms from an ensemble of correlated data sets. We propose a temporal dictionary learning scheme for time-series data sets, based on ONMF algorithms. We demonstrate our dictionary learning technique in the application contexts of historical temperature data, video frames, and color images.

Creators: name: Raby, Simon Oliver

description: This thesis provides an explanatory account of HRM and performance in growth-oriented SMEs. HRM researchers hold a relatively emaciated understanding of the generative mechanisms and processes at work between HRM and performance in SMEs. A rationalisation of the employment relationship allied with the predominance of a scientific approach has led to a focus on what at the expense of understanding how and why HRM influences small firm performance. It is argued within this thesis that a metatheoretical reorientation is required to address the weaknesses of existing HR1v1 and performance research. This study adopts a realist and pragmatic approach to social research inquiry. A new conceptual framework is designed that builds on prior contextual studies (e.g. Edwards et aI., 2006, Hamey and Dundon, 2006, Gilman and Edwards, 2008) to include the dynamics of growth in SMEs. This allows for the exploration of how internal and external dynamics interact with performance and labour management practices in SMEs. The analysis begins by exploring the patterns of HRM practices across SMEs through the lens of High Performance Work Systems (HPWS), findings that inform a contextual analysis of five growing SMEs. This thesis draws some interesting conclusions. First, SMEs do not score highly on measures of HPWS take-up, particularly when one inquiries into actual practice as opposed to initial survey reports. No evidence' is found of Sills taking a high performance approach to performance. Second, one cannot conclude that SMEs are deficient or that one should condemn them as failing in some way. Traditional HRM metrics cannot be easily applied to small firms; they are simply not scaled down versions of larger firms. Third, therefore, we find that aspects of HRM are addressed in ways relevant to the small firm context. Fourth, the I : notion that the application of HPWS results in increased levels of performance is too simplistic; researchers must consider their relationship as mutually reinforcing. The case studies demonstrate the relevant processes, notably the effects of shocks in relation to business performance that led to responses which in turn implied changes to HR practices. An HPWS model would have meant little to these firms. Though the second point is correct, it does not follow that all is well at all times. The case studies demonstrate differing degrees of effectiveness in dealing with external shocks, and point to the importance of leadership. Ensuring the long term growth and sustainability of firms relies on more than entrepreneurial flair alone; it requires leaders to become effective champions of change.
