description: Previous work reported a bar signature in color-selected IRAS variable stars. Here, we estimate the source density of these variables while consistently accounting for spatial incompleteness in the data using a likelihood approach. The existence of the bar is confirmed with a shoulder at a approx 3 kpc, an axis ratio of a:b = 2.2-2.7, and a position angle of 19° ± 1°. The ratio of nonaxisymmetric to axisymmetric components gives a similar estimate for the bar size of a = 3.3 ± 0.1 kpc and a position angle of phi0 = 24° ± 2°. We estimate a scale length of 4.00 ± 0.55 kpc for the IRAS variable population, suggesting that these stars represent the old disk population. We use this density reconstruction to estimate the optical depth to microlensing for the large-scale bar in the Galactic disk. We find an enhancement over an equivalent axisymmetric disk by up to 40%, but this still too small to account for the MACHO result. In addition, we note a possibility for a significant asymmetry at positive and negative longitudes with optical depths comparable to those in Baade's window. Independent of our reconstruction, an infrared microlensing survey may be a sensitive tool for detecting or constraining structural asymmetries. More generally, this is a pilot study for Bayesian star count analyses. The Bayesian approach allows the assessment of prior probabilities to the unknown parameters of the model; the resulting likelihood function is straightforwardly modified to incorporate all available data.

description: Cell movement in the early phase of C. elegans development is regulated by a highly complex process in which a set of rules and connections are formulated at distinct scales. Previous efforts have shown that agent-based, multi-scale modeling systems can integrate physical and biological rules and provide new avenues to study developmental systems. However, the application of these systems to model cell movement is still challenging and requires a comprehensive understanding of regulation networks at the right scales. Recent developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning provide an unprecedented opportunity to explore cell movement using 3D time-lapse images. We present a deep reinforcement learning approach within an ABM system to characterize cell movement in C. elegans embryogenesis. Our modeling system captures the complexity of cell movement patterns in the embryo and overcomes the local optimization problem encountered by traditional rule-based, ABM that uses greedy algorithms. We tested our model with two real developmental processes: the anterior movement of the Cpaaa cell via intercalation and the rearrangement of the left-right asymmetry. In the first case, model results showed that Cpaaa's intercalation is an active directional cell movement caused by the continuous effects from a longer distance, as opposed to a passive movement caused by neighbor cell movements. This is because the learning-based simulation found that a passive movement model could not lead Cpaaa to the predefined destination. In the second case, a leader-follower mechanism well explained the collective cell movement pattern. These results showed that our approach to introduce deep reinforcement learning into ABM can test regulatory mechanisms by exploring cell migration paths in a reverse engineering perspective. This model opens new doors to explore large datasets generated by live imaging.

description: We show that the fraction of time a thermodynamic current spends above its average value follows the arcsine law, a prominent result obtained by Lévy for Brownian motion. Stochastic currents with long streaks above or below their average are much more likely than those that spend similar fractions of time above and below their average. Our result is confirmed with experimental data from a Brownian Carnot engine. We also conjecture that two other random times associated with currents obey the arcsine law: the time a current reaches its maximum value and the last time a current crosses its average value. These results apply to, inter alia, molecular motors, quantum dots and colloidal systems.

description: The slip of a fluid layer in contact with a solid confining surface is investigated for different temperatures and densities using molecular dynamic simulations. We show that for an anomalous water-like fluid the slip goes as follows: for low levels of shear, the defect slip appears and is related with the particle exchange between the fluid layers; at high levels of shear, the global slip occurs and is related to the homogeneous distribution of the fluid in the confining surfaces. The oscillations in the transition velocity from the defect to the global slip is shown to be associated with changes in the layering distribution in the anomalous fluid.

description: Temporal inhomogeneities in event sequences of natural and social phenomena have been characterized in terms of interevent times and correlations between interevent times. The inhomogeneities of interevent times have been extensively studied, while the correlations between interevent times, often called correlated bursts, are far from being fully understood. For measuring the correlated bursts, two relevant approaches were suggested, i.e., memory coefficient and burst size distribution. Here a burst size denotes the number of events in a bursty train detected for a given time window. Empirical analyses have revealed that the larger memory coefficient tends to be associated with the heavier tail of burst size distribution. In particular, empirical findings in human activities appear inconsistent, such that the memory coefficient is close to $0$, while burst size distributions follow a power law. In order to comprehend these observations, by assuming the conditional independence between consecutive interevent times, we derive the analytical form of the memory coefficient as a function of parameters describing interevent time and burst size distributions. Our analytical result can explain the general tendency of the larger memory coefficient being associated with the heavier tail of burst size distribution. We also find that the apparently inconsistent observations in human activities are compatible with each other, indicating that the memory coefficient has limits to measure the correlated bursts.

description: 
Prior work on supervisor bottom-line mentality (SBLM) has suggested it represents a static, unbending focus, with supervisors so focused on the bottom line that they discount ethical considerations. We propose that SBLM varies, within-person, given various factors in a supervisor's work life that pull and push their attention to and away from the bottom line across their workweeks. We theorize that the varying nature of SBLM elicits anxiety in employees that is exhausting because, on the days supervisors give greater emphasis to the bottom line, employees must abandon the comfort of their routines to produce bottom-line results. Ultimately, this experience motivates employee unethical behavior (i.e., coworker undermining). We also predict that, by providing employees support and guidance, supervisors’ steadfast commitment to ethics (i.e., between-person ethical leadership perceptions) influences the degree to which exhausted employees undermine their coworkers. Results from three experience-sampling methodology studies using diverse samples of working adults support our predictions. In Study 3, we also test assumptions in our theorizing with research questions about potential antecedents of SBLM variability and the moderating effects of ethical leadership. These results revealed that supervisor daily ratings of their leader's BLM and the supervisor's own job demands prompted SBLM variation. In addition, supervisor daily ratings of their own BLM were related to employee-rated daily SBLM. Second, while ethical leadership varies within-person, within-person perceptions did not moderate effects; only between-person perceptions (or employee perceptions of their supervisor's general commitment to ethics) did. Implications for theory and research are provided.
Comparing the Effectiveness of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) and Medical Management in end-stage Heart Failure

description: Heart Failure (HF) is a complex clinical condition caused by structural or functional cardiac disorders that impair the ability of one or both ventricles to fill with or eject blood. Although many conditions may lead to HF, the predominant causes are myocardial ischemia and high blood pressure. (1) Heart transplantation remains the gold standard therapy for end-stage HF. Nevertheless, for patients who are ineligible for transplant, the available management options include: destination therapy with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or medical therapy (5). The purpose of this systemic review is to determine whether LVAD or medical therapy is more effective in decreasing mortality and increasing functional status (measured by 6 min walk distance) in patients with end-stage HF. A search strategy was developed and applied in both PubMed and Scopus. Key terms such as, heart failure, LVAD, medical therapy, functional status, fluid retention and quality of life were used. Exclusion criteria such as year and language of publication were applied to further refine the search results. The 12 most relevant publications were used for the purpose of this research. HF affects an estimated five million patients in the United States. Of those, 60% have heart failure with left ventricular dilation and reduced ejection fraction. LVAD is a mechanical device that is surgically implanted into the patient’s chest to help restore blood flow and thus relieve symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. On the other hand, medical therapy includes aggressive use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, beta blockers, digoxin, and diuretics to relieve lung congestion, create fluid balance and improve patient symptoms. Studies show therapy with permanent LVAD device doubled the one-year survival rate of patients with end-stage HF as compared with medical treatment alone. Furthermore, LVAD patients experienced 340 days alive out of the hospital, compared with 106 for patients on medical therapy.(2)

$^{139}$La and $^{63}$Cu NMR investigation of charge order in La$_{2}$CuO$_{4+y}$ ($T_{c}=42$K)

description: We report $^{139}$La and $^{63}$Cu NMR investigation of the successive charge order, spin order, and superconducting transitions in super-oxygenated La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ single crystal with stage-4 excess oxygen order at $T_{stage}\simeq 290$ K. We show that the stage-4 order induces tilting of CuO$_6$ octahedra below $T_{stage}$, which in turn causes $^{139}$La NMR line broadening. The structural distortion continues to develop far below $T_{stage}$, and completes at $T_{charge}\simeq 60$ K, where charge order sets in. This sequence is reminiscent of the the charge order transition in Nd co-doped La$_{1.88}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$ that sets in once the low temperature tetragonal (LTT) phase is established. We also show that the paramagnetic $^{63}$Cu NMR signals are progressively wiped out below $T_{charge}$ due to enhanced low frequency spin fluctuations, but the residual $^{63}$Cu NMR signals continue to exhibit the characteristics expected for optimally doped superconducting CuO$_2$ planes. This indicates that charge order in La$_2$CuO$_{4+y}$ does not take place uniformly in space. Low frequency Cu spin fluctuations as probed by $^{139}$La nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate are mildly glassy, and do not exhibit critical divergence at $T_{spin}$($\simeq T_{c}$)=42 K. These findings, including the spatially inhomogeneous nature of the charge ordered state, are qualitatively similar to the case of La$_{1.885}$Sr$_{0.115}$CuO$_4$ [T. Imai et al., Phys. Rev. B 96 (2017) 224508, and A. Arsenault et al., Phys. Rev. B 97 (2018) 064511], but both charge and spin order take place more sharply in the present case.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: An efficient and facile synthetic approach towards a series of novel 3-phenyl-2-oxido/sulfido-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4,2-benzoxadiazaphosphepines 2–7 was described. The method depended on the cyclocondensation of equimolar ratios of salicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone (1) with different examples of phosphorus halides and phosphorus sulfides in toluene containing triethylamine as a catalyst. In the same manner, the fusion of salicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone (1) with triethyl phosphate in the presence of DBU afforded the 2-ethoxy-1,3,4,2-benzoxa-diazaphosphepine 8, while a fusion of compound 1 with diethyl phosphite and tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphite led to the formation of new examples of 1,2-benzoxaphospholes 9 and 10, respectively. Interestingly, the reaction of compound 1 with diethyl ethoxycarbonyl phosphonate in ethanol containing DBU as a catalyst furnished the chromeno[3,4-d][1,2,3]diazaphosphole derivative 12 as a regioselective product.

description: The adsorption of a single multi-block $AB$-copolymer on a solid planar substrate is investigated by means of computer simulations and scaling analysis. It is shown that the problem can be mapped onto an effective homopolymer adsorption problem. In particular we discuss how the critical adsorption energy and the fraction of adsorbed monomers depend on the block length $M$ of sticking monomers $A$, and on the total length $N$ of the polymer chains. Also the adsorption of the random copolymers is considered and found to be well described within the framework of the annealed approximation. For a better test of our theoretical prediction, two different Monte Carlo (MC) simulation methods were employed: a) off-lattice dynamic bead-spring model, based on the standard Metropolis algorithm (MA), and b) coarse-grained lattice model using the Pruned-enriched Rosenbluth method (PERM) which enables tests for very long chains. The findings of both methods are fully consistent and in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

RURAL-URBAN MIGRATION IN GHANA: FACTORS INFLUENCING FEMALE MIGRANT (KAYAYEI), USING THE LIFE COURSE PERSPECTIVE
Creators: name: Faisal, Kamara
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: Rural-urban migration among adolescent girls (Kayayei) in Ghana has attracted a lot of public, government and non-governmental organizations (NGO's) as well as scholarly concerns regarding the unique issues of the phenomenon in the country. Despite the growing concerns of the 'Kayayei' among scholars and researchers, socio-economic livelihood, the push and pull factors, social theory and social structure have been used to examine adolescent girls' migration issues in Ghana's urban cities. This paper aims to understand the scale and nature of the demographic changes and the interconnections between urban development, socio-economic, political (institutional) and historical antecedent processes contributing to adolescents’ girl’s migration in Ghana affecting the life course of adolescents' girls in the migratory landscape. This paper is theoretical and explanatory oriented in nature. The article explores the dynamics of rural-urban migration, offering a clear rationale for the migration of rural adolescent girls' ‘Kayayei' in Ghana. The paper begins with a brief introduction of neoliberal policies (economic reforms) that have led to excessive urbanization, bringing about demography changes in developing countries and affecting the rural agricultural economy and household socio-economic composition. The paper attempts to draw a link between urbanization, historical regional development, and the new economic structuring (economic reforms) in Ghana's national economic space. Theoretically, the paper reviews the life course literature to critically appraise and examine the closely related dynamism of adolescent migratory patterns and economic reforms, environmental and institutional changes in developing countries like Ghana. Using literature review data source (Alatinga, 2019), the finding suggests that adolescent girls who migrate to the urban cities are overwhelmed by the predominance absence of alternative off-farm source of income and infrastructural development, which hinders educational attainment in rural communities.
Joined-up Governance of Agri-Food Systems in Canada: An Examination of Food Policy Councils as a Form of Joined-up Governance
Creators: name: La Forge, Sylvie
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Agri-food policy has traditionally been addressed by different governmental agencies and jurisdictions. Departments of Agriculture and Health as well as provincial and municipal governments shape the different aspects of agri-food systems, generating disjointed policies (Barling et al., 2002). Food policy councils (FPCs) at the local and regional levels have emerged across North America, both in response to this fragmented approach and to the detrimental effects of the dominant agri-food system. One of the main objectives of these councils is to bring diverse stakeholders together to address the multiple and related challenges within agri-food systems including food access, environmental sustainability, and health (Borron, 2003). Within this context, this explorative research examines how and in which ways existing FPCs can contribute to a national food policy framework in Canada. Drawing on literature from public management, this paper demonstrates in what ways FPCs contribute—or have the potential to contribute—to a joined-up governance of agri-food policy in Canada. It also highlights what FPCs can learn from existing studies and experiences of joined-up governance initiatives in other sectors as a way to increase their effectiveness.

description: The origins of Gamma-ray Burst prompt emission are currently not well understood and in this context long, well-observed events are particularly important to study. We present the case of GRB 070616, analysing the exceptionally long-duration multipeaked prompt emission, and later afterglow, captured by all the instruments on-board Swift and by Suzaku WAM. The high energy light curve remained generally flat for several hundred seconds before going into a steep decline. Spectral evolution from hard to soft is clearly taking place throughout the prompt emission, beginning at 285 s after the trigger and extending to 1200 s. We track the movement of the spectral peak energy, whilst observing a softening of the low energy spectral slope. The steep decline in flux may be caused by a combination of this strong spectral evolution and the curvature effect. We investigate origins for the spectral evolution, ruling out a superposition of two power laws and considering instead an additional component dominant during the late prompt emission. We also discuss origins for the early optical emission and the physics of the afterglow. The case of GRB 070616 clearly demonstrates that both broadband coverage and good time resolution are crucial to pin down the origins of the complex prompt emission in GRBs.

description: INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic healing has been associated with improved long-term clinical outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is a recommended target for treatment. Evidence is limited regarding real-world uptake and patterns of treat-to-target monitoring to assess endoscopic healing after treatment initiation. We aimed to estimate the proportion of patients in the Study of a Prospective Adult Research Cohort with IBD (SPARC IBD) who received colonoscopy in the 3-15 months after starting a new IBD treatment.
METHODS: We identified SPARC IBD patients who initiated a new biologic (infliximab, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab, vedolizumab, and ustekinumab) or tofacitinib. We estimated the proportion of patients who received colonoscopies in the 3-15 months after IBD treatment initiation and described use by patient subgroups.
RESULTS: Among 1,708 eligible initiations from 2017 to 2022, the most common medications were ustekinumab (32%), infliximab (22%), vedolizumab (20%), and adalimumab (16%). The median patient age was 38 years, with 66% Crohn's disease; 55% were female, and 12% were non-White. In the 3-15 months after medication initiation, 49.3% (95% confidence interval 46.2%-52.5%) of initiations were followed by a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy use was similar between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, but was higher among male patients, those older than 40 years, and those who received colonoscopy within 3 months of initiation. Colonoscopy use varied between study sites, from 26.6% (15.0%-38.3%) to 63.2% (54.5%-72.0%).
DISCUSSION: Approximately half of SPARC IBD patients received colonoscopy in the 3-15 months after initiation to a new IBD treatment, suggesting a low uptake of treat-to-target colonoscopy for the assessment of mucosal healing in real-world clinical practice. The variation in colonoscopy use between study sites suggests a lack of consensus and a need for more robust evidence around whether or not the practice of routine monitoring colonoscopy is associated with improved patient outcomes.

description: Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field different from $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. For a positive integer $N$, let $K_\mathfrak{n}$ be the ray class field of $K$ modulo $\mathfrak{n}=N\mathcal{O}_K$. By using the congruence subgroup $\pmΓ_1(N)$, we construct an extended form class group whose operation is basically the Dirichlet composition, and explicitly show that this group is isomorphic to the Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(K_\mathfrak{n}/K)$. We also present algorithms to find all form classes and show how to multiply two form classes. As an application, we describe $\mathrm{Gal}(K_\mathfrak{n}^\mathrm{ab}/K)$ in terms of these extended form class groups for which $K_\mathfrak{n}^\mathrm{ab}$ is the maximal abelian extension of $K$ unramified outside prime ideals dividing $\mathfrak{n}$.

description: Previous studies of music and meaning largely focus on the effect of overarching musical forms and features on listener’s experiences or interactions between society and a piece of music to describe the mechanism by which listeners engage with musical works. The following paper is an attempt to argue for a change in focus in musical analysis that pays more attention to the detail in subjective musical experiences to better account for how music is understood and evaluated by listeners, and how they derive value from musical works going forward. Initially, this paper posits an account of musical understanding which identifies the shortcomings of Formalism in the description of the fundamental mechanisms of musical understanding and experience. The account of musical understanding offered is one that describes the similarities between Concatenationism and computational heuristics to explain the fundamental principles by which listeners identify and process musical sounds thus rejecting the notion that apprehension of musical form is a necessary condition for understanding music. Following on from this an examination of the limitations of cultural analysis of musical works is contrasted with an approach that concentrates on the effect of individual’s dispositions in understanding how musical meanings and values are created for listeners. The above study is undertaken by analysis and criticism of the work of various authors who have written about either musical understanding or the value and meaning of musical works.

The vagal paradox: A polyvagal solution
Creators: name: Porges, Stephen W.
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2023

description: Although there is a consistent literature documenting that vagal cardioinhibitory pathways support homeostatic functions, another less frequently cited literature implicates vagal cardioinhibitory pathways in compromises to survival in humans and other mammals. The latter is usually associated with threat reactions, chronic stress, and potentially lethal clinical conditions such as hypoxia. Solving this 'vagal paradox' in studies conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit served as the motivator for the Polyvagal Theory (PVT). The paradox is resolved when the different functions of vagal cardioinhibitory fibers originating in two anatomically distinguishable brainstem areas are recognized. One pathway originates in a dorsal area known as the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and the other in a ventral area of the brainstem known as nucleus ambiguus. Unlike mammals, in all ancestral vertebrates from which mammals evolved, cardioinhibitory vagal fibers primarily originate in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. Thus, in mammals the vagus nerve is 'poly' vagal because it contains two distinct efferent pathways. Developmental and evolutionary biology identify a ventral migration of vagal cardioinhibitory fibers that culminate in an integrated circuit that has been labeled the ventral vagal complex. This complex consists of the interneuronal communication of the ventral vagus with the source nuclei involved in regulating the striated muscles of the head and face via special visceral efferent pathways. This integrated system enables the coordination of vagal regulation of the heart with sucking, swallowing, breathing, and vocalizing and forms the basis of a social engagement system that allows sociality to be a potent neuromodulator resulting in calm states that promote homeostatic function. These biobehavioral features, dependent on the maturation of the ventral vagal complex, can be compromised in preterm infants. Developmental biology informs us that in the immature mammal (e.g., fetus, preterm infant) the ventral vagus is not fully functional and myelinization is not complete; this neuroanatomical profile may potentiate the impact of vagal cardioinhibitory pathways originating in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. This vulnerability is confirmed clinically in the life-threatening reactions of apnea and bradycardia in human preterm newborns, which are hypothetically mediated through chronotropic dorsal vagal pathways. Neuroanatomical research documents that the distribution of cardioinhibitory neurons representing these two distinct vagal source nuclei varies among mammals and changes during early development. By explaining the solution of the 'vagal paradox' in the preterm human, the paper highlights the functional cardioinhibitory functions of the two vagal source nuclei and provides the scientific foundation for the testing of hypotheses generated by PVT.

description: Ventricular volume and its progression are known to be linked to several brain diseases such as dementia and schizophrenia. Therefore accurate measurement of ventricle volume is vital for longitudinal studies on these disorders, making automated ventricle segmentation algorithms desirable. In the past few years, deep neural networks have shown to outperform the classical models in many imaging domains. However, the success of deep networks is dependent on manually labeled data sets, which are expensive to acquire especially for higher dimensional data in the medical domain. In this work, we show that deep neural networks can be trained on much-cheaper-to-acquire pseudo-labels (e.g., generated by other automated less accurate methods) and still produce more accurate segmentations compared to the quality of the labels. To show this, we use noisy segmentation labels generated by a conventional region growing algorithm to train a deep network for lateral ventricle segmentation. Then on a large manually annotated test set, we show that the network significantly outperforms the conventional region growing algorithm which was used to produce the training labels for the network. Our experiments report a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of $0.874$ for the trained network compared to $0.754$ for the conventional region growing algorithm ($p < 0.001$).
