description: We present experimental, numerical, and theoretical evidence for a new mode of antiferromagnetic dynamics in nanoparticles. Elastic neutron scattering experiments on 8 nm particles of hematite display a loss of diffraction intensity with temperature, the intensity vanishing around 150 K. However, the signal from inelastic neutron scattering remains above that temperature, indicating a magnetic system in constant motion. In addition, the precession frequency of the inelastic magnetic signal shows an increase above 100 K. Numerical Langevin simulations of spin dynamics reproduce all measured neutron data and reveal that thermally activated spin canting gives rise to a new type of coherent magnetic precession mode. This "rotor" mode can be seen as a high-temperature version of superparamagnetism and is driven by exchange interactions between the two magnetic sublattices. The frequency of the rotor mode behaves in fair agreement with a simple analytical model, based on a high temperature approximation of the generally accepted Hamiltonian of the system. The extracted model parameters, as the magnetic interaction and the axial anisotropy, are in excellent agreement with results from Mossbauer spectroscopy.

description: We theoretically study the quantized anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) in skyrmion crystal (SkX) without external magnetic field. The emergent magnetic field in SkX could be gigantic as much as $\sim4000$T when its lattice constant is $\sim1$nm. The band structure is not flat but has a finite gap in the low electron-density regime. We also study the conditions to realize the QAHE for the skyrmion size, carrier density, disorder strength and temperature. Comparing the SkX and the system under the corresponding uniform magnetic field, the former is more fragile against the temperature compared with the latter since the gap is reduced by a factor of $\sim$ 1/5, while they are almost equally robust against the disorder. Therefore, it is expected that the QAHE of SkX system is realized even with strong disorder at room temperature when the electron density of the order of one per a skyrmion.

description: Research tells us that there is an effect of prayer on well-being. However, little is known about the mechanisms that underlie this relationship. In addition, much of the available data concerning prayer and well-being is based on Christians living in the United States, and our knowledge of how prayer and well-being are functionally interconnected in other faith groups, including Muslims, is sparse. The primary aim of this study was to understand how prayer impacts well-being in individuals of the Muslim faith. Specifically, four potential mediators of the relationship between prayer and well-being were examined; optimism, spirituality, mindfulness, and social support. These mediators were selected based on previous empirical work demonstrating the role these factors have in both religious practices and mental health. Optimism, spirituality, and social support are important mechanisms in the relationship between prayer and well-being in Christian samples, while mindfulness underlies the beneficial effects of contemplative practices on well-being in studies focused on Buddhist practices. In this study it is proposed that as a contemplative practice of the Abrahamic faith, Muslim prayer (salah) relates to well-being through the mediatory roles of optimism, spirituality, social support, and mindfulness. Participants (N=155) were recruited from local mosques, Muslim Student Associations of the University of Ottawa and Carleton University, local halal restaurants, and MuslimLink (an Ottawa-based Muslim newsletter). SurveyMonkey was used to gather information on participants’ prayer habits, and level of trait mindfulness, spirituality, optimism, social support, and subjective well-being. The data were analysed using a parallel multiple mediator model via the Monte Carlo confidence interval to test for the indirect effect of the mediator variables. Optimism and spirituality were both found to be mediators of the relationship between frequency of prayer and subjective well-being. While mindfulness correlated with both frequency of prayer and well-being, it did not mediate the relationship between the two. Social support correlated with frequency of prayer and not well-being and was not a mediator between the two variables. Psychological interventions that incorporate faith-based practices have been found to have greater effectiveness for religious patients. Understanding prayer and how it relates to well-being is important to implementing intervention and prevention strategies that are culturally informed thus better serving the Muslim population needs.

description: Purpose This study aimed to examine psychometric properties of a caregiver version of the well-established Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General Scale (FACT-G) after conducting focus groups and obtaining expert input. Methods We made minor wording modifications to the Patient FACT-G to enable caregivers to report how the illness affected their overall quality of life (QOL) and well-being on four subscales (physical, social, emotional, functional). We tested the acceptability, precision, factor structure, reliability and validity of the Caregiver FACT-G among partners of prostate cancer patients (N = 263) and caregivers (spouses, siblings, adult children) of patients with advanced cancer (breast, lung, colorectal, prostate) (N = 484) using data from two Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs). Results With a factor structure similar to the Patient FACT-G, Caregiver FACT-G was acceptable and precise in measuring caregiver QOL, with high inter-factor correlations and internal consistency reliability (Cronbach’s alphas 0.81–0.91). The Caregiver FACT-G had strong convergent validity demonstrated by significant positive correlations with caregiver self-efficacy (0.25–0.63), dyadic communication (0.18–0.51), and social support (0.18–0.54) in both samples. It also had strong discriminant validity evidenced by significant inverse correlations with negative appraisal of caregiving (− 0.37 to − 0.69), uncertainty (− 0.28 to − 0.53), hopelessness (− 0.25 to − 0.60), and avoidant coping (− 0.26 to − 0.58) in both samples. Caregivers’ baseline FACT-G scores were significantly associated with their physical (0.23) and mental well-being (0.54; 4-month follow-up) and their depression (− 0.69; 3-month follow-up), indicating strong predictive validity. Conclusion This is the first study evaluating the psychometric properties of the Caregiver FACT-G. More psychometric testing is warranted, especially among caregivers of diverse sociocultural backgrounds.
Imidoyl Amidine Ligands: A Versatile Framework to Build Homo and Heterometallic Complexes

description: Ligand design in general enables the formation of coordination compounds with multiple functionalities within a single framework. To date, two of the most widely studied ligands are 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (terpy) and acetylacetone (acac), whose tridentate and bidentate coordination pockets, respectively, enables the formation of metallic complexes with various geometries. The Brusso group had been incorporating imidoyl amidine (ImAm) ligands to build different materials such as organic radicals and fluorescent materials. In particular, the ligands N-2-pyridylimidoyl-2-pyridylamidine (Py2ImAm) and N-2-pyrimidylimidoyl-2-pyrimidylamidine (Pm2ImAm) were recently synthesized and have great appeal to build metallic complexes, as they poses two coordination sites similar to those in terpy and acac. The work presented herein represents the first studies involving the coordination of Py2ImAm and Pm2ImAm as discrete ligands. Our results demonstrate the versatility of these ligand frameworks, in which discrete mononuclear complexes, homometallic and heterometallic polynuclear complexes may be realized. Chapter one serves as a brief introduction to transition metal chemistry and has a comprehensive review of the coordination chemistry of the ImAm ligand framework. In chapter two, the selective coordination of first row transition metals into the bidentate or tridentate sites of Py2ImAm is explored. The formation of these mononuclear complexes is acid-base driven, where a weak acid induces coordination to the tridentate site and a weak base leads to coordination in the bidentate site. Coordination to both sides of Pm2ImAm with manganese or iron is explored in chapter three. The results show the formation of unusual tetranuclear complexes with the metal ions in both low spin and high spin configurations. Chapter four covers the coordination to cobalt, and the formation of polynuclear complexes with different geometries using Pm2ImAm. The magnetochemistry of these cobalt polynuclear complexes is also presented and reveal a single molecule magnet behaviour for one of the complexes. Finally, in chapter five, a one-pot synthesis of copper-manganese heterometallic complexes is presented. Overall, these imidoyl amidine ligands are able to build complexes with different geometries, different electronic configurations (i.e. low or high spin), and different metal ions. These results show a great versatility of ImAm ligands and suggest the future use of these ligands by other research groups.

description: Context. Palliative care aligns treatments with patients’ values and improves quality of life, yet whether receipt of recommended elements of palliative care is associated with end-of-life outcomes is understudied. Objectives. To assess whether recommended elements of palliative care (pain and symptom management, goals of care, and spiritual care) precede in-hospital death and hospice referral and whether delivery by specialty palliative care affects that relationship. Methods. We conducted structured chart reviews for decedents with late-stage cancer, dementia, and chronic kidney disease with a hospital admission during the six months preceding death. Measures included receipt of recommended elements of palliative care delivered by any clinician and specialty palliative care consult. We assessed associations between recommended elements of palliative care and in-hospital death and hospice referral using multivariable Poisson regression models. Results. Of 402 decedents, 67 (16.7%) died in hospital, and 168 (41.8%) had hospice referral. Among elements of palliative care, only goals-of-care discussion was associated with in-hospital death (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.37; 95% CI 1.01e1.84) and hospice referral (IRR 1.85; 95% CI 1.31e2.61). Specialty palliative care consult was associated with a lower likelihood of in-hospital death (IRR 0.57; 95% CI 0.44e0.73) and a higher likelihood of hospice referral (IRR 1.45; 95% CI 1.12e1.89) compared with no consult. Conclusion. Goals-of-care discussions by different types of clinicians commonly precede end-of-life care in hospital or hospice. However, engagement with specialty palliative care reduced in-hospital death and increased hospice referral. Understanding the causal pathways of goals-of-care discussions may help build primary palliative care interventions to support patients near the end of life.

Testing Late Quaternary tectonics in low-rate contractional settings – Preliminary outcomes from fluvial network analysis along the Southern Apennine Outer compressional Front (SAOF)

description: The Apennine compressional Outer Front (AOF) is clearly seismogenic in northern- and central Italy, and along the Maghrebian chain in Sicily. This seismogenic setting is supported by geodetic data revealing evidence of active shortening, at low rates (0.2–0.8 mm/y), as well as by available focal mechanisms. On the other hand, the AOF is often considered inactive in southern Italy (SAOF) where it is buried under Plio-Quaternary foredeep successions, and relevant instrumental seismicity with compressive kinematics is lacking.
 Following some recent literature reporting Late Quaternary regional uplift affecting marine terraces (Gulf of Taranto-southern Italy), as well geological/ morphotectonic evidence and macroseismic data analyses supporting the existence of active compressive structures in the Maiella Mt-Abruzzo foothill areas (central-southern Italy), we tested the hypothesis of Late Quaternary deformation along the SAOF.
 Considering the favorable setting of the drainage system (with respect to the SAOF) in the southern Abruzzi and Molise regions, we here investigated the transient response that fluvial networks could exhibit as a consequence of active processes (active folding, uplift) and related base-level changes. Knick-point detection over along-river longitudinal profiles, along with more advanced metrics (normalized steepness index maps) were compared with the geological, lithological and structural features known for the area. Geomorphic indexes seem to suggest significant tectonic signals along the Adriatic piedmont sector, between the rivers Pescara and Saccione. Preliminary results will be shown and discussed in terms of fluvial landscape response in low deformation rate areas and to comparison to adjacent and/or similar settings.

description: IMPORTANCE: Persons living with serious illness often need skilled symptom management, communication, and spiritual support. Palliative care addresses these needs and may be delivered by either specialists or clinicians trained in other fields. It is important to understand core elements of palliative care to best provide patient-centered care. OBJECTIVE: To describe frequency, predictors, and timing of core elements of palliative care during the last 6 months of life. DESIGN: Retrospective chart review. SETTING: Inpatient academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS: Decedents with cancer, dementia, or chronic kidney disease (CKD) admitted during the 6 months preceding death. EXPOSURES: We identified receipt and timing of core elements of palliative care: pain and symptom management, goals of care, spiritual care; and specialty palliative care utilization; hospital encounters; demographics; and comorbid diagnoses.We ran Poisson regression models to assess whether diagnosis or hospital encounters were associated with core elements of palliative care. RESULTS: Among 402 decedents, themean (SD) number of appropriately screened and treated symptoms was 2.9 (1.7)/10. Among 76.1% with documented goals of care, 58.0% had a primary goal of comfort; 55.0% had documented spiritual care. In multivariable models, compared with decedents with cancer, those with dementia or CKD were less likely to have pain and symptom management (respectively, 31% (incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.56–0.85) and 17% (IRR, 0.83; CI, 0.71–0.97)). There was amedian of 3 days (IQR, 0–173) between transition to a goal of comfort and death, and amedian of 12 days (IQR, 5–47) between hospice referral and death. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Although a high proportion of patients received elements of palliative care, transitions to a goal of comfort or hospice happened very near death. Palliative care delivery can be improved by systematizing existing mechanisms, including prompts for earlier goals-of-care discussion, symptom screening, and spiritual care, and by building collaboration between primary and specialty palliative care services.

description: Surface oxidation processes are crucial for the functionality of Cu-based catalytic systems used for methanol synthesis, partial oxidation of methanol or the water-gas shift reaction. We assess the stability and population of the "8"-structure, a $|\begin{smallmatrix} 3&2\\ -1&2 \end{smallmatrix}|$ oxide phase, on the Cu(111) surface. This structure has been observed in x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction experiments as a Cu(111) surface reconstruction that can be induced by a hyperthermal oxygen molecular beam. Using density-functional theory calculations in combination with \textit{ab initio} atomistic thermodynamics and Boltzmann statistical mechanics, we find that the proposed oxide superstructure is indeed metastable and that the population of the "8"-structure is competitive with the known "29" and "44" oxide film structures on Cu(111). We show that the configuration of O and Cu atoms in the first and second layers of the "8"-structure closely resembles the arrangement of atoms in the first two layers of Cu$_2$O(110), where the atoms in the "8"-structure are more constricted. Cu$_2$O(110) has been suggested in the literature as the most active low index facet for reactions such as water splitting under light illumination. If the "8"-structure were to form during a catalytic process, it is therefore likely to be one of the reactive phases.

title: Alcohol use and cognition: Processing speed and subjective executive function deficits across the spectrum of drinking behaviours
Creators: name: Powell, A
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2024

description: Previous research has demonstrated that multiple cognitive functions are impaired in alcohol use disorders, including executive functions and processing speed. Recovery of function may be possible, though to what extent is unclear. In non-dependent hazardous drinkers, executive function research is inconsistent (possibly due to a neurocompensatory mechanism of increased effort), as is processing speed literature. Self-report methods may provide a unique insight into executive functioning within different alcohol contexts, while differences in processing speed measurement may account for discrepancies. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between alcohol use and cognitive function, in different contexts. A systematic review examined longitudinal recoverability of cognitive function during abstinence in individuals with an alcohol use disorder, followed by a series of studies that assessed subjective executive function and vibrotactile reaction time in a range of dependent and non-dependent drinkers. Overall, the results showed that 1) cognitive function in several areas can recover in individuals with an alcohol use disorder who maintain abstinence, 2) hazardous drinkers experience poorer subjective executive function, but 3) perform faster during choice reaction time, and 4) impaired choice reaction time is demonstrated during early abstinence in dependent drinkers compared to controls, as is worsening mental fatigue, specifically in outpatients. These results have implications for health providers and policymakers, as hazardous drinkers are subject to alcohol harms despite not being a clinically prioritised group, while outpatients, despite typically fewer complex needs, are experiencing potentially harmful effects of cognitive exertion, so may need more support within their treatment pathway.

description: Classically, black holes admit maximal interior volumes that grow asymptotically linearly in time. We show that such volumes remain large when Hawking evaporation is taken into account. Even if a charged black hole approaches the extremal limit during this evolution, its volume continues to grow; although an exactly extremal black hole does not have a "large interior". We clarify this point and discuss the implications of our results to the information loss and firewall paradoxes.

Intent-Centricity and Homogeneous Architecture
Full-Stack Decentralised Applications
Counterparty Discovery
Programmable Settlement Architectures

description: Programmable settlement architectures do not enable counterparty discovery and solving, both of which are necessary to build the majority of interactive multi-party applications. The architectural constraints of programmable settlement result in contemporary application protocols that have at least one Web2 component, which becomes the centralisation point. We present Anoma, a unified architecture for full-stack decentralised applications. Anoma is designed following the principles of intent-centricity and homogeneous architecture / heterogeneous security, together constituting a declarative paradigm for building decentralised applications. In this paper, we first outline the Anoma architecture, provide an intuition for the design rationale, and describe how Anoma disentangles the choices of protocol and security. We then define the Anoma application programming model and enumerate several existing and novel decentralised applications that can be built using the novel primitives. Finally, we outline the current components used to instantiate Anoma and list future research directions.

description: Purpose: Patients undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) have varied symptoms during their hospitalization. This study examined whether daily symptom reporting (with electronic patient-reported outcomes [PROs]) in an inpatient bone marrow transplant clinic reduced symptom burden on post-transplant days +7, +10, and +14. Methods: A prospective, single-institution1:1 pilot randomized, two-arm study recruited HCT patients. HCT inpatients (N=76) reported daily on 16 common symptoms using the PRO version of the Common Terminology for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE). Fisher’s exact test was used to examine differences in the proportion of patients reporting individual symptoms. Multivariable linear regression modeling was used to examine group differences in peak symptom burden, while controlling for symptom burden at baseline, age, comorbidity, and transplantation type (autologous or allogeneic). Results: HCT patients receiving the PRO intervention also experienced lower peak symptom burden (average of 16 symptoms) at days +7, +10, and +14 (10.4 vs 14.5, p =0.03). Conclusions: Daily use of electronic symptom reporting to nurses in an inpatient bone marrow transplant clinic reduced peak symptom burden and improved individual symptoms during the two weeks post-transplant. A multi-site site trial is warranted to demonstrate the generalizability, efficacy, and value of this intervention.

description: Electrospun polymer jets are imaged for the first time at an ultra-high rate of 10,000 frames per second, investigating the process dynamics, and the instability propagation velocity and displacement in space. The polymer concentration, applied voltage bias and needle-collector distance are systematically varied, and their influence on the instability propagation velocity and on the jet angular fluctuations analyzed. This allows us to unveil the instability formation and cycling behavior, and its exponential growth at the onset, exhibiting radial growth rates of the order of 10^3 s^-1. Allowing the conformation and evolution of polymeric solutions to be studied in depth, high-speed imaging at sub-ms scale shows a significant potential for improving the fundamental knowledge of electrified jets, leading to obtain finely controllable bending and solution stretching in electrospinning, and consequently better designed nanofibers morphologies and structures.

description: Within the scope of the master's thesis we investigated the physical and mechanical properties that determine the durability of newly developed façade panels made of alkali-activated materials. Using energy simulations and modelling, we compared their effects on thermal comfort in interiors with a standard contact thermal insulation façade system (ETICS). The panels with a high proportion of industrial and construction waste were developed as part of the international H2020 project InnoWEE and consist of two layers of expanded polystyrene and a finishing layer. The final layer consists of a binder consisting of an alkali-activated mixture of metakaolin, fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag and an aggregate of construction waste (concrete, ceramics, bricks and mortar). As the alkali-activated products are a relatively new material which has not yet been sufficiently evaluated in practise and there are no prescribed standard methods for testing it, it is necessary to carry out extensive testing before placing it on the market. Thus, we have carried out the following tests on façade panels: water absorption, water vapour permeability, determination of the bond strength, determination of the density, porosity and pore distribution of the finishing layer, freeze-thaw behaviour, freeze-thaw resistance in the presence of de-icing salt, impact strength, carbonation resistance, alkali silicate reactivity and sulphate resistance. Based on the results of the tests carried out, we gave an assessment of the usability of the façade panels. We also used the Ubakus and DesignBuilder programs to determine the influence of façade panels on the passage of heat and matter through the structural assembly of the exterior wall on a simple building model (single-family house) and to verify their impact on the energy efficiency of the building. The results obtained were compared with a classic external thermal insulation composite façade system (ETICS).

description: This paper examines a general class of noisy matrix completion tasks where the goal is to estimate a matrix from observations obtained at a subset of its entries, each of which is subject to random noise or corruption. Our specific focus is on settings where the matrix to be estimated is well-approximated by a product of two (a priori unknown) matrices, one of which is sparse. Such structural models - referred to here as "sparse factor models" - have been widely used, for example, in subspace clustering applications, as well as in contemporary sparse modeling and dictionary learning tasks. Our main theoretical contributions are estimation error bounds for sparsity-regularized maximum likelihood estimators for problems of this form, which are applicable to a number of different observation noise or corruption models. Several specific implications are examined, including scenarios where observations are corrupted by additive Gaussian noise or additive heavier-tailed (Laplace) noise, Poisson-distributed observations, and highly-quantized (e.g., one-bit) observations. We also propose a simple algorithmic approach based on the alternating direction method of multipliers for these tasks, and provide experimental evidence to support our error analyses.

description: PURPOSE Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that assess how patients feel and function have potential for evaluating quality of care. Stakeholder recommendations for PRO-based performance measures (PMs) were elicited, and feasibility testing was conducted at six cancer centers. METHODS Interviews were conducted with 124 stakeholders to determine priority symptoms and risk adjustment variables for PRO-PMs and perceived acceptability. Stakeholders included patients and advocates, caregivers, clinicians, administrators, and thought leaders. Feasibility testing was conducted in six cancer centers. Patients completed PROMs at home 5-15 days into a chemotherapy cycle. Feasibility was operationalized as $ 75% completed PROMs and $ 75% patient acceptability. RESULTS Stakeholder priority PRO-PMs for systemic therapy were GI symptoms (diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting), depression/anxiety, pain, insomnia, fatigue, dyspnea, physical function, and neuropathy. Recommended risk adjusters included demographics, insurance type, cancer type, comorbidities, emetic risk, and difficulty paying bills. In feasibility testing, 653 patients enrolled (approximately 110 per site), and 607 (93%) completed PROMs, which indicated high feasibility for home collection. The majority of patients (470 of 607; 77%) completed PROMs without a reminder call, and 137 (23%) of 607 completed them after a reminder call. Most patients (72%) completed PROMs through web, 17% paper, or 2% interactive voice response (automated call that verbally asked patient questions). For acceptability, . 95% of patients found PROM items to be easy to understand and complete. CONCLUSION Clinicians, patients, and other stakeholders agree that PMs that are based on how patients feel and function would be an important addition to quality measurement. This study also shows that PRO-PMs can be feasibly captured at home during systemic therapy and are acceptable to patients. PRO-PMs may add value to the portfolio of PMs as oncology transitions from fee-for-service payment models to performance-based care that emphasizes outcome measures.

description: A search for a new resonance decaying to a $W$ or $Z$ boson and a Higgs boson in the $\ell \ell/ \ell ν/ νν+ b \bar{b}$ final states is performed using 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data recorded at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search is conducted by examining the $WH/ZH$ invariant mass distribution for a localized excess. No significant deviation from the Standard Model background prediction is observed. The results are interpreted in terms of constraints on the Minimal Walking Technicolor model and on a simplified approach based on a phenomenological Lagrangian of Heavy Vector Triplets.

description: We report on the physical properties of single crystalline EuRhSi$_3$ and polycrystalline EuIrSi$_3$, inferred from magnetisation, electrical transport, heat capacity and $^{151}$Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy. These previously known compounds crystallise in the tetragonal BaNiSn$_3$-type structure. The single crystal magnetisation in EuRhSi$_3$ has a strongly anisotropic behaviour at 2 K with a spin-flop field of 13 T, and we present a model of these magnetic properties which allows the exchange constants to be determined. In both compounds, specific heat shows the presence of a cascade of two close transitions near 50 K, and the $^{151}$Eu Mössbauer spectra demonstrate that the intermediate phase has an incommensurate amplitude modulated structure. We find anomalously large values, with respect to other members of the series, for the RKKY Néel temperature, for the spin-flop field (13 T), for the spin-wave gap ($\simeq$ 20-25 K) inferred from both resistivity and specific heat data, for the spin-disorder resistivity in EuRhSi$_3$ ($\simeq 35$ $μ$Ohm.cm) and for the saturated hyperfine field (52 T). We show that all these quantities depend on the electronic density of states at the Fermi level, implying that the latter must be strongly enhanced in these two materials. EuIrSi$_3$ exhibits a giant magnetoresistance ratio, with values exceeding 600 % at 2 K in a field of 14 T.
