description: We report the engineering of the polar magnetooptical (MO) Kerr effect in perpendicularly magnetized L10-MnAl epitaxial films with remarkably tuned magnetization, strain, and structural disorder by varying substrate temperature (Ts) during molecular-beam epitaxy growth. The Kerr rotation was enhanced by a factor of up to 5 with Ts increasing from 150 to 350 oC as a direct consequence of the improvement of the magnetization. A similar remarkable tuning effect was also observed on the Kerr ellipticity and the magnitude of the complex Kerr angle, while the phase of the complex Kerr angle appears to be independent of the magnetization. The combination of the good semiconductor compatibility, the moderate coercivity of 0.3-8.2 kOe, the tunable polar MO Kerr effect of up to ~0.034o, and giant spin procession frequencies of up to ~180 GHz makes L10-MnAl films a very interesting MO material. Our results give insights on both the microscopic mechanisms of the MO Kerr effect in L10-MnAl alloys and their scientific and technological application potential in the emerging spintronics and ultrafast MO modulators.

description: Diese Arbeit verfolgt die Intention, Unklarheiten bezüglich des Verhältnisses zwischen Heilpädagogik und Therapie auf den Grund zu gehen. Im Rahmen einer Literaturarbeit wird den Fragen nachgegangen, wie die beiden Begriffe in aktuellen heilpädagogischen Standardwerken definiert werden und wie deren Verhältnis beschrieben wird. Nach der Zusammenstellung einer geeigneten Literaturauswahl erfolgt eine Analyse bestehender Erkenntnisse der fachlichen Auseinandersetzung zum Untersuchungsgegenstand der vergangenen dreissig Jahre. Aus den dabei gewonnenen generellen Aussagen zum Themengebiet werden Kategorien abgeleitet anhand derer die aktuelle Literatur präzisiert untersucht wird. Dies ermöglicht die Erarbeitung konstituierender Faktoren, die sowohl Aussagen zur Begriffsbestimmung von Heilpädagogik und Therapie als auch zu deren Verhältnis zueinander zulassen. Die Ergebnisse der Analyse verweisen auf die Vielseitigkeit heilpädagogischer Handlungen und die Schwierigkeit, diese auf theoretischer Ebene begrifflich exakt zu erfassen. Die in dieser Arbeit erarbeiteten spezifischen Bestimmungsfaktoren von Heilpädagogik und Therapie stellen eine Hilfestellung für eine theoriegeleitete Positionierung der Heilpädagogik innerhalb dieser Vielseitigkeit dar.

description: BACKGROUND:Health facilities generate different types of wastes characterized as hazardous wastes and most of them are toxic, harmful, carcinogenic, and infectious materials. Those contaminated wastes may affect health workers, waste handlers and laundry personnel. Medical Waste handlers faced massive exposure to hazardous wastes and occupational accidents as a result of manual handling of waste and working under unfavorable conditions. Waste handlers are often at high risk than health care professionals. In Ethiopia there are very little related studies conducted among medical waste handlers. OBJECTIVE:The general objective of the study was to assess safety practices and associated factors among selected public hospital waste handler in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2019. METHOD: An institutional based cross- sectional study was carried out among waste handlers in inselected public hospitals from February up to March 2019. All waste handlers of selected government hospital were included in the study. Data were collected using face to face interview. The collected data had been coded and then entered using Epi-info version 7 software and transferred to SPSS- version22 for analysis. Logstic regression model was carried out for analysis to identify independent predictors at ap-value 0.2. RESULT: The prevalence of current safety practice among public hospital waste handlers was found to be 44.1% (95% CI; 37.3-51.0). The odds of safety practice among respondents with good knowledge was 4.7 (AOR=4.7; 95% CI: 1.9, 11.5) times higher than those respondents with poor knowledge. The odds of safety practice among participants having good supplies were 6.78(AOR=6.78; 95% CI: 2.2, 20.7) times higher than those respondents with lack supplies. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of safety practices among hospital waste handlers was higher among those having good knowledge on safety measures and accessed with safety materials. To sustain good safety practice adequate per-service and in-service traning should be in place to increase their knowledge about safety precautions and availaing safety materials to adherence for safety practice among hospital waste handlers.

description: Dissipation can be used as a resource to control and simulate quantum systems. We discuss a modular model based on fast dissipation capable of performing universal quantum computation, and simulating arbitrary Lindbladian dynamics. The model consists of a network of elementary dissipation-generated modules and it is in principle scalable. In particular, we demonstrate the ability to dissipatively prepare all single qubit gates, and the CNOT gate; prerequisites for universal quantum computing. We also show a way to implement a type of quantum memory in a dissipative environment, whereby we can arbitrarily control the loss in both coherence, and concurrence, over the evolution. Moreover, our dissipation-assisted modular construction exhibits a degree of inbuilt robustness to Hamiltonian, and indeed Lindbladian errors, and as such is of potential practical relevance.

description: Geospatial data are fundamental in most global-change and sustainability-related domains. However, readily accessible information on data quality and provenance is often missing or hardly accessible for users due to technical or perceptual barriers, for example, due to unstructured metadata information or missing references. Within an interdisciplinary process encompassing perspectives of data users, data producers, and software developers, we identified major needs to facilitate effective fitness-for-use assessments by data users and developed approaches to address these. We provided a stylized analysis of large-scale land use data to showcase selected approaches. To support data users, interoperable quality and provenance information need to be meaningfully represented. Data producers need efficient workflows and tools supporting them in creating high-quality, structured and detailed quality and provenance information. Our newly developed approaches to increase the availability of structured metadata synthesize new and existing tools to extract metadata or to generate provenance data during processing. Within our approaches to improve interoperability and accessibility we present novel tools to support (i) the creation of curated and linked registers of data quality indicators and thematic terms, and (ii) linked visualization of data quality and provenance information. Following our approaches increases transparency, facilitates fitness-for-use assessments, and ultimately improves research quality.

description: Previous studies have found that the Galactic rotation velocity-metallicity (V-[Fe/H]) relations for the thin and thick disk populations show negative and positive slopes, respectively. The first Gaia Data Release includes the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) information, which we use to analyze the V-[Fe/H] relation for a strictly selected sample with high enough astrometric accuracy. We aim to arrive at an explanation for the slopes of the V-[Fe/H] relationship. We measure the V-[Fe/H] relation for thin and thick disk stars classified on the basis of their [$α$/Fe] and [Fe/H] abundances. We find dV/d[Fe/H]= -18 +/- 2 km/s/dex for stars in the thin disk and dV/d[Fe/H]= +23 +/- 10 km/s/dex for thick disk stars, so we confirm the different signs for the slopes. The negative value of dV/d[Fe/H] for thick disk stars is consistent with previous studies, but the combination of TGAS and APOGEE data provide higher precision, even though systematic errors could exceed +/-5 km/s/dex . Our average measurement of dV/d[Fe/H] for local thick disk stars shows a somewhat flatter slope than the previous studies, but we confirm a significant spread and a dependence of the slope on the [alpha/Fe] ratio of the stars. Using a simple N-body model, we demonstrate that the observed trend for the thick and thin disk can be explained by the observed radial metallicity gradients and the correlation between orbital eccentricity and metallicity in the thick disk.

Creators: name: Asfaw, Sahle
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background:-Chronic respiratory symptoms including chronic cough, chronic phlegm, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain are manifestations of respiratory problems which are mainly evolved as the result of occupational exposures. Workers engaged in manufacturing, research and development of pharmaceuticals are potentially exposed to drug substances and also to chemical precursors that are potentially hazardous to health. Objective:-To assess determinants of chronic respiratory symptoms among pharmaceutical factory workers. Methods: -A case control study was done among 453 pharmaceutical factory workers with 151 cases and 302 controls. Cases were workers who had chronic respiratory symptom/s within one year period in the pharmaceutical factories from February 2016 to February 2017. Controls were workers who had no any chronic respiratory symptom/s within one year period in the pharmaceutical factories from February 2016 to February 2017. Prior to the actual data collection, a base line survey was conducted for one week to identify source of cases and the controls from each site. Study subjects were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data was collected using pretested and structured questionnaire by trained data collectors. Descriptive statistics, bivariate logistic and multivariate logistic regression analysis was done to see association between determinant factors and chronic respiratory symptoms. Result: Workers' Previous history of chronic respiratory diseases (AOR 3.36, 95%CI (1.85 - 6.12)), family history of chronic respiratory diseases (AOR=2.55, 95% CI, (1.51 - 4.32)), previous dusty working environment (AOR=2.26, 95% CI, (1.07 - 4.78)), ever smoking (AOR 3.66, 95%CI (1.05 - 12.72)) and service year (AOR = 1.86, 95 % CI = (1.16 – 2.99)) showed statistically significant association with chronic respiratory symptoms among pharmaceutical factory workers. Conclusion and recommendation: previous history of respiratory diseases, family history of chronic respiratory diseases, previous dusty working environment, ever cigarette smoking, and service year were determinants of chronic respiratory symptoms of the workers in pharmaceutical factory. Public health endeavors to prevent the burden of chronic respiratory symptoms in the pharmaceutical factories should target reduction of adverse workplace exposures and discouragement of ever smoking. Key word: Chronic respiratory symptoms, socio demographic, behavioral, environmental and occupational factors and pharmaceutical factory worker.

description: We study a particular Galileon inflation in the light of Planck2015 observational data in order to constraint the model parameter space. We study the spectrum of the primordial modes of the density perturbations by expanding the action up to the second order in perturbations. Then we pursue by expanding the action up to the third order and find the three point correlation functions to find the amplitude of the non-Gaussianity of the primordial perturbations in this setup. We study the amplitude of the non-Gaussianity both in equilateral and orthogonal configurations and test the model with recent observational data. Our analysis shows that for some ranges of the non-minimal coupling parameter, the model is consistent with observation and it is also possible to have large non-Gaussianity which would be observable by future improvements in experiments. Moreover, we obtain the tilt of the tensor power spectrum and test the standard inflationary consistency relation ($r=-8n_T$) against the latest bounds from the Planck2015 dataset. We find a slight deviation from the standard consistency relation in this setup. Nevertheless, such a deviation seems not to be sufficiently remarkable to be detected confidently.

description: Quantitative assessments of endemism, evolutionary distinctiveness and extinction threat underpin global conservation prioritization for well-studied taxa, such as birds, mammals, and amphibians. However, such information is unavailable for most of the world’s taxa. This is the case for the Orchidaceae, a hyperdiverse and cosmopolitan family with incomplete phylogenetic and threat information. To define conservation priorities, we present a framework based on phylogenetic and taxonomic measures of distinctiveness and rarity based on the number of regions and the area of occupancy. For 25,434 orchid species with distribution data (89.3% of the Orchidaceae), we identify the Neotropics as hotspots for richness, New Guinea as a hotspot for evolutionary distinctiveness, and several islands that contain many rare and distinct species. Orchids have a similar proportion of monotypic genera as other Angiosperms, however, more taxonomically distinct orchid species are found in a single region. We identify 278 species in need of immediate conservation actions and find that more than 70% of these do not currently have an IUCN conservation assessment and are not protected in ex-situ collections at Botanical Gardens. Our study highlights locations and orchid species in urgent need of conservation and demonstrates a framework that can be applied to other data-deficient taxa.

description: Background: Influenza and influenza-like-illness (ILI) is the most contagious respiratory diseases having substantial public health problem. It is associated with higher morbidity and mortality during outbreak, especially among the elderly and children. The aim of the study was to identify existence of outbreak, etiologic agent, magnitude, associated factors with ILI to contain the outbreak. Methods and materials: We conducted unmatched case-control study in Jawi district from 29 February through 10 March 2016 G.C. We enrolled 28 cases and 112 controls. We conducted face to face interview using structured questionnaire. Data were entered and analyzed using Epi-Info and SPSS. We performed binary logistic regression analysis to explore predictors of ILI. Results: From 29 February through 10 March 2016, we identified 28 cases (attack rate, 20.55/100,000) and no death. From total cases, 4(14.29%) confirmed and 8 (28.6%) admitted cases were reported. Female cases were 67.9%. Majority affected age groups were <5 and ≥ 65 years with attack rates of 37.95 and 25.23 per 100,000 risk populations respectively. In multi variable analysis [AOR (95% CI)]: being female [3.76(1.23, 11.52)], family size ≥5 [4.56(1.24, 16.79)], having contact history with suspected ILI [5.57(1.64, 18.89)], living in ventilated house [0.14(0.04, 0.42)], and having knowledge to ILI [0.1(0.01, 0.91)] were associated factors. Conclusion and recommendation: Most of the cases were females and under five children. Being female, living in large family size and having contact history with ILI were statistically significant risk factors; whereas living in ventilated house and having knowledge to ILI were protective factors. Health education should be continued to successfully contain the outbreak. The community should improve the ventilation status and room space of the house.

description: The management of climate-resilient grassland systems is important for stable livestock fodder production. In the face of climate change, maintaining productivity while minimizing yield variance of grassland systems is increasingly challenging. To achieve climate-resilient and stable productivity of grasslands, a better understanding of the climatic drivers of long-term trends in yield variance and its dependence on agronomic inputs is required. Based on the Park Grass Experiment at Rothamsted (UK), we report for the first time the long-term trends in yield variance of grassland (1965–2018) in plots given different fertilizer and lime applications, with contrasting productivity and plant species diversity. We implemented a statistical model that allowed yield variance to be determined independently of yield level. Environmental abiotic covariates were included in a novel criss-cross regression approach to determine climatic drivers of yield variance and its dependence on agronomic management. Our findings highlight that sufficient liming and moderate fertilization can reduce yield variance while maintaining productivity and limiting loss of plant species diversity. Plots receiving the highest rate of nitrogen fertilizer or farmyard manure had the highest yield but were also more responsive to environmental variability and had less plant species diversity. We identified the days of water stress from March to October and temperature from July to August as the two main climatic drivers, explaining approximately one-third of the observed yield variance. These drivers helped explain consistent unimodal trends in yield variance—with a peak in approximately 1995, after which variance declined. Here, for the first time, we provide a novel statistical framework and a unique long-term dataset for understanding the trends in yield variance of managed grassland. The application of the criss-cross regression approach in other long-term agro-ecological trials could help identify climatic drivers of production risk and to derive agronomic strategies for improving the climate resilience of cropping systems.

description: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that affects 1 in 11 people. More than 1.5 million deaths worldwide each year are related to the disease. Many medications are used for diabetes, but these medications only prevent the disease from progressing and its symptoms. Medicinal mushrooms have been used to treat diabetes since 2,000 years ago in the traditional medicine of different countries. This study reviews the research conducted on the anti-diabetic effect of several medicinal mushrooms reducing blood sugar level by various mechanisms. Mushrooms affect carbohydrate metabolism by inhibiting α-amylase and α-glycosidase enzymes, affect cellular pathways involved in fat metabolism, insulin secretion, and cellular apoptosis. The antioxidant activity of mushrooms prevents oxidative damage to pancreatic beta cells, reduce blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglycerides and normalize liver enzymes levels. The anti-diabetic activity of medicinal mushrooms has been proven by in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as by clinical trials. They were suggested as dietary food supplement in the treatment of diabetes.

description: We present formation simulations of the six Kepler 11 planets. Models assume either in situ or ex situ assembly, the latter with migration, and are evolved to the estimated age of the system, 8 Gyr. Models combine detailed calculations of both the gaseous envelope and the condensed core structures, including accretion of gas and solids, of the disk's viscous and thermal evolution, including photo-evaporation and disk-planet interactions, and of the planets' evaporative mass loss after disk dispersal. Planet-planet interactions are neglected. Both sets of simulations successfully reproduce measured radii, masses, and orbital distances of the planets, except for the radius of Kepler 11b, which loses its entire gaseous envelope shortly after formation. Gaseous (H+He) envelopes account for < 18% of the planet masses, and between 35 and 60% of the planet radii. In situ models predict a very massive inner disk, whose solids' surface density (sigma_Z) varies from over 1e4 to 1e3 g/cm2 at stellocentric distances 0.1 < r < 0.5 AU. Initial gas densities would be in excess of 1e5 g/cm2 if solids formed locally. Given the high disk temperatures (> 1000 K), planetary interiors can only be composed of metals and highly refractory materials. Sequestration of hydrogen by the core and subsequent outgassing is required to account for the observed radius of Kepler 11b. Ex situ models predict a relatively low-mass disk, whose initial sigma_Z varies from 10 to 5 g/cm2 at 0.5 < r < 7 AU and whose initial gas density ranges from 1e3 to 100 g/cm2. All planetary interiors are expected to be rich in H2O, as core assembly mostly occurs exterior to the ice condensation front. Kepler 11b is expected to have a steam atmosphere, and H2O is likely mixed with H+He in the envelopes of the other planets. Results indicate that Kepler 11g may not be more massive than Kepler 11e.

description: Strong light fields have created opportunities to tailor novel functionalities of solids1,2,3,4,5. Floquet–Bloch states can form under periodic driving of electrons and enable exotic quantum phases6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15. On subcycle timescales, lightwaves can simultaneously drive intraband currents16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29 and interband transitions18,19,30,31, which enable high-harmonic generation16,18,19,21,22,25,28,29,30 and pave the way towards ultrafast electronics. Yet, the interplay of intraband and interband excitations and their relation to Floquet physics have been key open questions as dynamical aspects of Floquet states have remained elusive. Here we provide this link by visualizing the ultrafast build-up of Floquet–Bloch bands with time-resolved and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We drive surface states on a topological insulator32,33 with mid-infrared fields—strong enough for high-harmonic generation—and directly monitor the transient band structure with subcycle time resolution. Starting with strong intraband currents, we observe how Floquet sidebands emerge within a single optical cycle; intraband acceleration simultaneously proceeds in multiple sidebands until high-energy electrons scatter into bulk states and dissipation destroys the Floquet bands. Quantum non-equilibrium calculations explain the simultaneous occurrence of Floquet states with intraband and interband dynamics. Our joint experiment and theory study provides a direct time-domain view of Floquet physics and explores the fundamental frontiers of ultrafast band-structure engineering.

description: The A-site spinel material, CoAl2O4, is a physical realization of the frustrated diamond-lattice antiferromagnet, a model in which is predicted to contain unique incommensurate or `spin-spiral liquid' ground states. Our previous single-crystal neutron scattering study instead classified it as a `kinetically-inhibited' antiferromagnet, where the long ranged correlations of a collinear Neel ground state are blocked by the freezing of domain wall motion below a first-order phase transition at T* = 6.5 K. The current paper expands on our original results in several important ways. New elastic and inelastic neutron measurements are presented that show our initial conclusions are affected by neither the sample measured nor the instrument resolution, while measurements to temperatures as low as T = 250 mK limit the possible role being played by low-lying thermal excitations. Polarized diffuse neutron measurements confirm reports of short-range antiferromagnetic correlations and diffuse streaks of scattering, but major diffuse features are explained as signatures of overlapping critical correlations between neighboring Brillouin zones. Finally, and critically, this paper presents detailed elastic and inelastic measurements of magnetic correlations in a single-crystal of MnAl2O4, which acts as an unfrustrated analogue to CoAl2O4. The unfrustrated material is shown to have a classical continuous phase transition to Neel order at T_N = 39 K, with collective spinwave excitations and Lorentzian-like critical correlations which diverge at the transition. Direct comparison between the two compounds indicates that CoAl2O4 is unique, not in the nature of high-temperature diffuse correlations, but rather in the nature of the frozen state below T*. The higher level of cation inversion in the MnAl2O4 sample indicates that this novel behavior is primarily an effect of greater next-nearest-neighbor exchange.

description: Introduction: Globally, about 3.2 billion people were at risk of malaria and the disease killed about 584 000 people in 2013, the burden is heaviest in the African Region. In Ethiopia, 68% of the population lives in malaria endemic areas, and malaria was the leading cause of outpatient visits and health facility admissions during 2009/2010. The malaria outbreak investigated to describe, determine the source and risk factors of the outbreak. Methodology: We investigated malaria outbreak in Asgede Tsimbla woreda from 1-10 Mar, 2016 using descriptive cross-sectional study followed by unmatched case-control study design. We recruited 50 cases and 100 controls. Data entry and cleaning conducted using Epi Info 7.1.6 and exported to SPSS 21 for analysis. Result: The bed net coverage of the district was 45% or 0.8/house hold. A total of 745 malaria confirmed cases were identified, with 22.2 cumulative incidence rate per 1000 population and 52.4 % positivity rate (68.7%, Plasmodium falciparum) in Asgede Tsimbla district from Jan, 25-Feb, 07, 2016. The outbreak affected six kebeles (22.2 %) of the district. The attack rate ranges from 16.4 to 28.4 per 1000 population by kebele. Majority (58.7%) of the cases were males .The median age was 19 years (range; 3mon-85yrs), age specific attack rate was higher in 15-59yrs age group, 25.2 per 1000 population. Stay inside home in the evening, AOR 0.16 (95%CI; 0.06-0.47) and sleeping under net always, AOR 0.13(95%CI; 0.05-0.3) were protective factors. Presence of sick patient in house hold, AOR 4.7 (95%CI; 1.8-11.8), breeding sites, AOR 5.7(95%CI; 2.2-14.5) and intermittent rivers, AOR 3.9(95%CI; 1.5-10.3) were independent risk factors. Conclusion: Presence of malaria breeding sites and malaria sick patient in house hold were independent risk factors for the outbreak. The low coverage and utilization of vector control - 2 - measures were responsible for the malaria outbreak. Scaling up key anti malaria interventions and utilization of the existing ones were among the recommendations. Key words: malaria, outbreak, Tigray, risk factors

description: We use the Gaia data release 1 (DR1) to study the proper motion (PM) fields of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC). This uses the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) PMs for 29 Hipparcos stars in the LMC and 8 in the SMC. The LMC PM in the West and North directions is inferred to be $(μ_W,μ_N) = (-1.872 \pm 0.045, 0.224 \pm 0.054)$ mas/yr, and the SMC PM $(μ_W,μ_N) = (-0.874 \pm 0.066, -1.229 \pm 0.047)$ mas/yr. These results have similar accuracy and agree to within the uncertainties with existing Hubble Space Telescope (HST) PM measurements. Since TGAS uses different methods with different systematics, this provides an external validation of both data sets and their underlying approaches. Residual DR1 systematics may affect the TGAS results, but the HST agreement implies this must be below the random errors. Also in agreement with prior HST studies, the TGAS LMC PM field clearly shows the clockwise rotation of the disk, even though it takes the LMC disk in excess of $10^8$ years to complete one revolution. The implied rotation curve amplitude for young LMC stars is consistent with that inferred from line-of-sight (LOS) velocity measurements. Comparison of the PM and LOS rotation curves implies a kinematic LMC distance modulus $m-M = 18.54 \pm 0.39$, consistent but not yet competitive with photometric methods. These first results from Gaia on the topic of Local Group dynamics provide an indication of how its future data releases will revolutionize this field.

description: Vertical transmission of rubella virus (RuV) occurs at a high rate during the first trimester of pregnancy. The modes of vertical transmission including the response of trophoblasts to RuV are not well understood. Here, RuV-trophoblast interaction was studied in the BeWo trophoblast cell line. Analysis included early and late time-point kinetics of virus infection rate and the antiviral innate immune response at mRNA and protein level. BeWo characteristics were addressed through metabolic activity by extracellular flux analysis and syncytiotrophoblast formation through incubation with forskolin. We found that RuV infection of BeWo led to profuse type III interferon (IFN) production. Transfecting trophoblast cells with dsRNA analog induced an increase in the production of type I IFN-β and type III IFNs; however, this did not occur in RuV-infected BeWo trophoblasts. IFN-β and to a lesser extent type III IFN-λ1 were inhibitory to RuV. While no significant metabolic alteration was detected, RuV infection reduced the cell number in the monolayer culture in comparison to the mock control and resulted in detached and floating cells. Syncytia formation restricted RuV infection. The use of BeWo as a relevant cell culture model for infection of trophoblasts highlights cytopathogenicity in the absence of a type I IFN response as a pathogenic alteration by RuV.

description: Depression affects approximately 300 million adults worldwide and is one of the most common cause of years lived with a disability. The clinical effects of hundreds of diverse interventions, such as psychotherapies, drugs, neurostimulation, physical activities, or further complementary and alternative medicines, are assessed in randomised controlled trials (RCTs). The choice of efficacy outcomes measured by trials is critical as 1) the efficacy of the intervention will be inferred from the primary outcome and 2) there could only be a limited number of secondary outcomes, due to feasibility constraints. Measuring constructs that matter to patients and assessing them in a valid way facilitates both the interpretation of efficacy RCTs while preventing research waste. Up until today, it remains uncertain as to whether the efficacy outcomes measured in RCTs of depression actually matter to patients and consequently, if the results are relevant for clinical practice. The objectives of this study are 1) to identify and describe the efficacy outcomes measured in RCTs of adult depression and 2) to evaluate if both the constructs and the items of the most-used measurement instruments matter to patients.

description: Antiferromagnets with non-collinear spin structures display various properties that make them attractive for spintronic devices. Some of the most interesting examples are an anomalous Hall effect despite negligible magnetization and a spin Hall effect with unusual spin polarization directions. However, these effects can only be observed when the sample is set predominantly into a single antiferromagnetic domain state. This can only be achieved when the compensated spin structure is perturbed and displays weak moments due to spin canting that allows for external domain control. In thin films of cubic non-collinear antiferromagnets, this imbalance is previously assumed to require tetragonal distortions induced by substrate strain. Here, it is shown that in Mn3SnN and Mn3GaN, spin canting is due to structural symmetry lowering induced by large displacements of the magnetic manganese atoms away from high-symmetry positions. These displacements remain hidden in X-ray diffraction when only probing the lattice metric and require measurement of a large set of scattering vectors to resolve the local atomic positions. In Mn3SnN, the induced net moments enable the observation of the anomalous Hall effect with an unusual temperature dependence, which is conjectured to result from a bulk-like temperature-dependent coherent spin rotation within the kagome plane.

description: Magnetic loops filled with hot plasma are the main building blocks of the solar corona. Usually they have lengths of the order of the barometric scale height in the corona that is 50 Mm. Previously it has been suggested that miniature versions of hot loops exist. These would have lengths of only 1 Mm barely protruding from the chromosphere and spanning across just one granule in the photosphere. Such short loops are well established at transition region temperatures (0.1 MK), and we investigate if such miniature loops also exist at coronal temperatures (>1 MK). We used extreme UV imaging (EUV) observations from the High-resolution Coronal Imager (Hi-C) at an unprecedented spatial resolution of 0.3" to 0.4". Together with EUV imaging and magnetogram data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) data from Hinode we investigated the spatial, temporal and thermal evolution of small loop-like structures in the solar corona above a plage region close to an active region and compared this to a moss area within the active region. We find that the size, motion and temporal evolution of the loop-like features are consistent with photospheric motions, suggesting a close connection to the photospheric magnetic field. Aligned magnetograms show that one of their endpoints is rooted at a magnetic concentration. Their thermal structure, as revealed together with the X-ray observations, shows significant differences to moss-like features. Considering different scenarios, these features are most probably miniature versions of hot loops rooted at magnetic concentrations at opposite sides of a granule in small emerging magnetic loops (or flux tubes).
