description: T4.3.4 Report  Thematic focus analysis on the role of gender (RRI key) and diversity/inclusion (AIRR) across the 4 key domains, 5 UNESCO regions and different stakeholder types. Table Description  The themes highlighted in blue emerged from the qualitative analysis of textual data from interviews conducted under Work Packages (WP) 3 and 5 of the RRING project. They formed the basis for the theme-specific comparative analysis and presentation of results/findings in T4.3.4 report. Some of the themes comprise of codes (and sub-codes) that further explored the subjective understanding of the interview participants regarding the objectives of the subtask (as listed below). A description of all the themes, codes (subcodes) and examples from the interview transcripts are provided in T4.3.4 codebook. The three specific objectives of the subtask include:
 1 - An in-depth comparative analysis across the 4 Key Domains (Digital ICT, Bioeconomy, Waste Management and Energy) focusing specifically on the theme of gender equality (RRI Key), diversity and Inclusion (AIRR dimension).
 2 - A theme-specific comparative analysis (high level) across the 5 geographic regions (UNESC definitions), for all research performing organisations (RPOs) and research funding organisations (RFOs).
 3 - A theme-specific consideration of what the RRING research data (WP3 and WP5 data relevant to this subtask) show about the “linked up global” extent for RRI policy and practice, and the role of nation-states and international organizations in this global world of RRI in the context of gender equality, diversity and inclusion.
 Further analysis under these objectives include:
 - Identifying how the outcomes of research and innovation (R&I) align with the values and expectations of society.
 - Examining the extent to which all the groups involved in, and affected by, research work together. For example, how teams and decision-making bodies have balanced gender representations; and the extent to which gender equality, diversity and inclusion, and areas of intersectionality are considered as part of R&I process and content to provide results that are useful for all citizens.
 - Determining how voices across diverse communities are involved in research, from its conception to its commercialisation.

description: The theory of a jamming transition is proposed for the homogeneous car-following model within the framework of Lorenz scheme. We represent a jamming transition as a result of the spontaneous deviations of headway and velocity that is caused by the acceleration/braking rate to be higher than the critical value. The stationary values of headway and velocity deviations, and time of acceleration/braking are derived as functions of control parameter (time needed for car to take the characteristic velocity).

description: Mean-field calculations for the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a large magnetic field with a partially filled Landau level with index $N\geq 2$ consistently yield ``stripe-ordered'' charge-density wave ground-states, for much the same reason that frustrated phase separation leads to stripe ordered states in doped Mott insulators. We have studied the effects of quantum and thermal fluctuations about such a state and show that they can lead to a set of electronic liquid crystalline states, particularly a stripe-nematic phase which is stable at $T>0$. Recent measurements of the longitudinal resistivity of a set of quantum Hall devices have revealed that these systems spontaneously develop, at low temepratures, a very large anisotropy. We interpret these experiments as evidence for a stripe nematic phase, and propose a general phase diagram for this system.

description: Aim: To assess the cost-effectiveness in Canada of atezolizumab compared with docetaxel or nivolumab for the treatment of advanced NSCLC after first-line platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Materials and methods: A three-state partitioned-survival model was developed. Clinical inputs were obtained from the phase III OAK trial comparing atezolizumab with docetaxel in patients with advanced NSCLC who progressed after first-line platinum-doublet chemotherapy. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were extrapolated beyond the trial period using parametric models. A cure model assuming a 1% cure fraction was fitted to the OS data for atezolizumab. Outcomes for nivolumab were informed by a network meta-analysis (NMA) versus atezolizumab. Resource use and costs were informed by clinical expert opinion and published Canadian sources. Utility values were obtained from the OAK trial. The perspective of the analysis was that of the Canadian publicly-funded health care system. The base case time horizon was 10 years, and the discount rate was 1.5% annually for both costs and effects. Scenario analyses were performed to test the robustness of the results and all analyses were performed probabilistically. Results: Atezolizumab demonstrated a quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gain of 0.60 compared with docetaxel at an incremental cost of $85,073, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of $142,074/QALY. Atezolizumab dominated nivolumab (regardless of dosing regimen), based on modest differences in both QALYs and costs. Docetaxel was most likely to be cost effective at willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds below $125,000/QALY gained, while atezolizumab was most likely to be cost effective beyond this WTP threshold. In most scenario analyses, the results remained robust to changes in parameters. A reduced time horizon and alternative approaches to the NMA had the greatest impact on cost-effectiveness results. Conclusion: Atezolizumab represents a cost-effective therapeutic option in Canada for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC who progress after first-line platinum doublet chemotherapy.

description: Intercoder Reliability (ICR) Assessment for T4.3.4 Intercoder reliability assessment was built into the coding process to check at different intervals during the coding process, the level of agreement (or disagreement) between the two coders and to assess the rigour and transparency of the codebook as it applies to the textual data.
 Krippendorff’s Alpha Coefficient - K-alpha was used to assess the reliability of the data coding process. The computation of K-alpha is widely considered as one of the best measures for assessing the agreement among coders because it accounts for not only the raw agreement between multiple coders, but also their agreement by pure chance. The generally accepted rule is that α ≥ 0.800 values indicate desired levels of acceptability, while values 0.800 > α ≥ 0.667 are only acceptable in some cases with appropriate justification. α < 0.667 values are considered unacceptable. α values were computed using the Krippendorff’s Alpha Python implementation “fast-krippendorff” (Pln-Fing-Udelar, 2019). As specified in T4.3.4 Action Plan, ICR was checked at ten percent (10%), thirty percent (30%) and hundred percent (100%) points of the data coding process. These checks were conducted in two separate blocks:
 - ICR assessment for the interview transcripts (n = 152) at 10%, 30% and 100% points of data coding
 - ICR assessment for the survey transcripts (n = 2300 *excluding empty cells) at 10%, 30% and 100% points of data coding
 This was done to reflect the uniqueness of the interview and survey questions in addressing the RRI key and AIRR dimensions of the subtask and to ensure that the selected sample was representative of the dataset. The sample size considered at each point/in total was within the standard expectation of 10 -20 per cent (%) of the total transcripts. At the specified ICR check point, coded cases (transcripts) comprising of 93 variables (codes) were exported from NVivo software (in Microsoft Excel format) and sent by email to ICoRSA, for ICR assessment / α computation. K-alpha results at hundred per cent (100%) points of data coding for all the interview and survey cases are provided as annexes 7 and 8 respectively. K-alpha Results  The α rule as specified above was applied as appropriate in recommending the variables that were retained (or excluded) from further analysis. At 100% interview and survey ICR analysis, there were only two dips under the acceptable 0.8 threshold (Codes 7 - Gender equality and the creation of social values, and 9 - Barriers to gender equality, diversity and inclusion in R&I). A decision was made by the team to exclude Code 7 given that it rarely occurred during the coding process. The code was however left in the codebook provided in this document for the purpose of clarity and transparency.
On the modular covariance properties of composite fermions on the torus

description: In this work we show that the composite fermion construction for the torus geometry is modular covariant. We show that this is the case both before and after projection, and that modular covariance properties are preserved under both exact projection and under JK projection which was recently introduced by Pu, Wu, and Jain (PRB 96, 195302 (2017)). It is crucial for the modular properties to hold that the CF state is a proper state, i.e. that there are no holes in the occupied $Λ$-levels.

description: The scientific community has long been interested in capsaicin, and the extensive hunt for AChE and BChE enzyme inhibitors is still ongoing. In this investigation analogs of capsaicin, such as the pharmaceutical nonivamide, which is preferred in clinical settings for the topical treatment of pain, were explored in the search for appropriate inhibitors. Thus, to test their inhibitory effect on AChE and BChE, we synthesized a short series of derivatives derived from vanillylamide. Consequently, it was discovered that compounds 12, 34, and 35, which have Ki values in the sub-micromolar concentration range, are especially effective inhibitors. Compound 12 demonstrated dual mixed-type (competitive/uncompetitive) inhibitory activity for both enzymes; compound 34 showed selective mixed-type inhibitory activity for AChE, and compound 35 was found to have selective uncompetitive activity for AChE.

description: The importance of the immune system in regulating tumor growth by inducing immune cell-mediated cytotoxicity associated with patients’ outcomes has been highlighted in the past years by an increasing life expectancy in patients with cancer on treatment with different immunotherapeutics. However, tumors often escape immune surveillance, which is accomplished by different mechanisms. Recent studies demonstrated an essential role of small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), in the post-transcriptional control of immune modulatory molecules. Multiple methods have been used to identify miRNAs targeting genes involved in escaping immune recognition including miRNAs targeting CTLA-4, PD-L1, HLA-G, components of the major histocompatibility class I antigen processing machinery (APM) as well as other immune response-relevant genes in tumors. Due to their function, these immune modulatory miRNAs can be used as (1) diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers allowing to discriminate between tumor stages and to predict the patients’ outcome as well as response and resistance to (immuno) therapies and as (2) therapeutic targets for the treatment of tumor patients. This review summarizes the role of miRNAs in tumor-mediated immune escape, discuss their potential as diagnostic, prognostic and predictive tools as well as their use as therapeutics including alternative application methods, such as chimeric antigen receptor T cells.

description: The Hippo signaling pathway is an important regulator of organ growth and differentiation, and its deregulation contributes to the development of cancer. The activity of its downstream targets YAP/TAZ depends on adherens junctions. Plakophilin 4 (PKP4) is a cell-type specific adherens junction protein expressed in the proliferating cells of the epidermis. Here, we show that PKP4 diminishes proliferation as well as differentiation. Depletion of PKP4 increased proliferation but at the same time induced premature epidermal differentiation. PKP4 interacted with several Hippo pathway components, including the transcriptional co-activators YAP/TAZ, and promoted nuclear YAP localization and target gene expression. In differentiated keratinocytes, PKP4 recruited LATS and YAP to cell junctions where YAP is transcriptionally inactive. YAP depletion, on the other hand, reduced PKP4 levels and keratinocyte adhesion indicative of a feedback mechanism controlling adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation by balancing YAP functions.

description: We report measurements of the in-plane thermal conductivity ($κ$) of YBa_2Cu_4O_8 (Y-124) single crystals in the temperature range $4K\leq T\leq 300K$ and compare them with previous results on YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} (Y-123). For transport perpendicular to the CuO chains, $κ_a(300K)\simeq 10$W/mK, and along the chains, $κ_b(300K)\simeq 40$W/mK. The temperature dependence of $κ$ for both transport directions is much stronger than in YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} (Y-123), indicative of substantially superior lattice heat conduction in Y-124, and resulting in maximum values for $κ$ at $T\sim 20$K exceeding 200W/mK. The data imply a surprisingly large anisotropy in the lattice conduction. $κ_a$ and $κ_b$ are enhanced in the superconducting state as in other cuprates. The magnitude and anisotropy of the enhancement are discussed and compared to those of Y-123.

By solving the full relativistic linear wave equations in the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole, we find that the strong gravity can create unique signals in the lensed waveform, particularly during the merger and ringdown stages. The differences in terms of fitting factor between the lensed waveform and best-fitted unlensed general relativity template with spin-precessing and higher-order multipoles are greater than $5\%$ for the lens black hole mass within $70M_{\odot}

description: With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), an increasing number of energy harvesting methods are being used to supplement or supplant battery based sensors. Energy harvesting sensors need to be configured according to the application, hardware, and environmental conditions to maximize their usefulness. As of today, the configuration of sensors is either manual or heuristics based, requiring valuable domain expertise. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a promising approach to automate configuration and efficiently scale IoT deployments, but it is not yet adopted in practice. We propose solutions to bridge this gap: reduce the training phase of RL so that nodes are operational within a short time after deployment and reduce the computational requirements to scale to large deployments. We focus on configuration of the sampling rate of indoor solar panel based energy harvesting sensors. We created a simulator based on 3 months of data collected from 5 sensor nodes subject to different lighting conditions. Our simulation results show that RL can effectively learn energy availability patterns and configure the sampling rate of the sensor nodes to maximize the sensing data while ensuring that energy storage is not depleted. The nodes can be operational within the first day by using our methods. We show that it is possible to reduce the number of RL policies by using a single policy for nodes that share similar lighting conditions.

We develop a systematic theory of integration on these moduli spaces via suitable algebras of polylogarithms, and use it to prove that Kontsevich's integrals can be expressed as integer-linear combinations of multiple zeta values. Our proof gives a concrete algorithm for calculating the integrals, which we have used to produce the first software package for the symbolic calculation of Kontsevich's formula.

description: We study circular orbits that are tilted with respect to the equatorial plane around a Kerr black hole. We write the equations for the parameters of a tilted circular orbit in terms of the orbit's radius and the Carter constant, or equivalently, the tilt angle. The tilted innermost stable circular orbits (TISCO)s are discussed as well as the last circular orbits. The azimuthal precession of an orbit is then studied and an approximate expression for the precession speed is given. We finally try to link tilted circular orbits to quai-periodic oscillations in some astrophysical black hole systems.

description: Non-Hermitian systems at the exceptional point (EP) degeneracy are demonstrated to be highly sensitive to environmental perturbation. Here, we propose and theoretically investigate a novel multilayered heterostructure favoring double EPs for a unique set of material parameters at which forward- and backward-reflection coefficients vanish, respectively. Such an EP heterostructure is shown to scatter off light when system parameters are perturbed away from the degeneracies due to the effect of ambient temperature and mechanical stress fluctuations. The proposed structure is conducive in manipulating optical responses for two mutually independent parameters sensing.

description: AbstractBackground: Associations between childhood vitamin K consumption and cardiac structure and function have not been investigated.Objective: We determined associations between phylloquinone (vitamin K-1) intake and left ventricular (LV) structure and function in adolescents.Methods: We assessed diet with three to seven 24-h recalls and physical activity (PA) by accelerometry in 766 adolescents (aged 14-18 y, 50% female, 49% black). Fat-free soft tissue (FFST) mass and fat mass were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. LV structure [LV mass (g)/height (m)2.7 (LV mass index) and relative wall thickness] and function [midwall fractional shortening (MFS) and ejection fraction] were assessed by echocardiography. Associations were evaluated by comparing the LV structure and function variables across tertiles of phylloquinone intake. Prevalence and OR of LV hypertrophy (LV mass index >95th percentile for age and sex) were also assessed by phylloquinone tertiles.Results: The prevalence of LV hypertrophy progressively decreased across tertiles of phylloquinone intake (P-trend < 0.01). Multinomial logistic regression-adjusting for age, sex, race, Tanner stage, systolic blood pressure, FFST mass, fat mass, socioeconomic status, PA, and intakes of energy, fiber, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin D, and sodium-revealed that compared with the highest phylloquinone intake tertile (reference group), the adjusted OR for LV hypertrophy was 3.3 (95% CI: 1.2, 7.4) for those in the lowest phylloquinone intake tertile. When LV structure variables were compared across phylloquinone intake tertiles adjusting for the same covariates, there were significant linear downward trends for LV mass index (6.5% difference, tertile 1 compared with tertile 3) and relative wall thickness (9.2% difference, tertile 1 compared with tertile 3; both P-trend ≤ 0.02). Conversely, significant linear upward trends across phylloquinone intake tertiles were observed for MFS (3.4% difference, tertile 1 compared with tertile 3) and ejection fraction (2.6% difference, tertile 1 compared with tertile 3; both P-trend < 0.04).Conclusion: Our adolescent data suggest that subclinical cardiac structure and function variables are most favorable at higher phylloquinone intakes.

description: We investigate higher order effects in electromagnetic dissociation of neutron halo nuclei using a simple and realistic zero range model for the neutron-core interaction. In the sudden (or Glauber) approximation all orders in the target-core interaction are taken into account. Small deviations from the sudden approximation are readily calculated. We obtain very simple analytical results for the next-to-leading order effects, which have a simple physical interpretation. For intermediate energy electromagnetic dissociation, higher order effects are generally small. We apply our model to Coulomb dissociation of $^{19}$C at 67 A MeV. The analytical results are compared to numerical results from the integration of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. Good agreement is obtained. We conclude that higher order electromagnetic effects are well under control.

description: Smart mobility management would be an important prerequisite for future fog computing systems. In this research, we propose a learning-based handover optimization for the Internet of Vehicles that would assist the smooth transition of device connections and offloaded tasks between fog nodes. To accomplish this, we make use of machine learning algorithms to learn from vehicle interactions with fog nodes. Our approach uses a three-layer feed-forward neural network to predict the correct fog node at a given location and time with 99.2 % accuracy on a test set. We also implement a dual stacked recurrent neural network (RNN) with long short-term memory (LSTM) cells capable of learning the latency, or cost, associated with these service requests. We create a simulation in JAMScript using a dataset of real-world vehicle movements to create a dataset to train these networks. We further propose the use of this predictive system in a smarter request routing mechanism to minimize the service interruption during handovers between fog nodes and to anticipate areas of low coverage through a series of experiments and test the models' performance on a test set.
Quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem: a time domain formulation
Creators: name: Pottier, Noelle

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: A time-domain formulation of the equilibrium quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) in the whole range of temperatures is presented. In the classical limit, the FDT establishes a proportionality relation between the dissipative part of the linear response function and the derivative of the corresponding equilibrium correlation function. At zero temperature, the FDT takes the form of Hilbert transform relations between the dissipative part of the response function and the corresponding symmetrized equilibrium correlation function, which allows to establish a connection with analytic signal theory. The time-domain formulation of the FDT is especially valuable when out-of-equilibrium dynamics is concerned, as it is for instance the case in the discussion of aging phenomena.

“Entitled to everything, responsible for nothing:” Gendered Discourses of Antifeminism, Biological Determinism, and Violence in Two Communities of Reddit’s Manosphere
Creators: name: Cousineau, Luc S.
Publisher: name: AG About Gender - International Journal of Gender Studies

description: The manosphere, described as a “loose confederacy” of groups joined together by antifeminist ideologies (Ging 2019), flourishes online, especially in online spaces that allow for ideologically aligned, but geographically dispersed, individuals to come together in community. This research examines two communities from the website reddit.com, /r/MensRights and /r/TheRedPill. These communities make up small parts of the larger manosphere, but are each important models for the intersections of sex/gender systems, masculinities, and ideological variants of male supremacy that take place under its umbrella. Incorporating data from a digital ethnographic project, this article explores, compares, and contrasts three gendered discursive practices manifest in /r/MensRights and /r/TheRedPill. Examining user posts and community generated content, I situate these two groups’ claims to antifeminism, fundamental differences between men and women, and the leveraging of violence (broadly understood), as overlapping ways of claiming particular masculinities both unified within the manosphere and divergent between groups. Despite their classification as communities of the manosphere, the ways these two groups express their ideological standpoints and situate themselves as ideological-oriented communities, set them apart from one another. This critique extends our knowledge about how the masculinities of the manosphere, and their socio-political implications, are significant and growing problems as we seek to fashion a more just society. Keywords: manosphere, men’s rights, red pill, masculinity, digital ethnography, reddit.

description: Physical monitoring systems represent potentially powerful assessment devices to detect and describe occupational physical activities. A promising technology for such use is smart textile systems (STSs). Our goal in this exploratory study was to assess the feasibility and accuracy of using two STSs to classify several manual material handling (MMH) tasks. Specifically, commercially-available ‘smart’ socks and a custom ‘smart’ shirt were used individually and in combination. Eleven participants simulated nine separate MMH tasks while wearing the STSs, and task classification accuracy was quantified subsequently using several common models. The shirt and socks, both individually and in combination, could classify the simulated tasks with greater than 97% accuracy. Thus, using STSs appears to have potential utility for discriminating occupational physical tasks in the work environment. Practitioner summary: A smart textile system could classify diverse MMH tasks with high accuracy. This technology may help in developing future ergonomic exposure assessment systems, with the goal of preventing occupational injuries.

Type species
Afrosyrphus varipes Curran, 1927, by monotypy.
Differential diagnosis (adapted from Vockeroth 1969)
Moderately robust, rather pilose species with extremely long, slender antennae, obscure abdominal markings and densely pilose hind legs. Face almost straight in profile, with low tubercle, densely pale pruinose laterally, with a shining, broad, dark median facial vitta. Eye apparently bare (with extremely short and scattered pile), holoptic in male. Antenna porrect or nearly so, with postpedicel longer than scape and pedicel together; arista bare, subbasal. Mesonotum dull, heavily pruinose; pleura dull, pruinose. Thoracic pile pale, unusually long but not obscuring ground colour. Subscutellar fringe very long and dense. Dorsal and ventral katepisternal pile patches narrowly joined posteriorly, clearly separated anteriorly. Metasternum bare. Hind coxa and hind trochanter with a pile tuft at median angle. Wing membrane with extensive bare areas on rather more than basal half, microtrichia on rest of membrane very fine but moderately dense. Ventral calypter with many fine, erect pale pile on posterior part of dorsal surface. Apical half of hind femur and hind tibia of both sexes with dense dorsal and ventral fringes of long, mostly dark pile. Abdomen unmargined, narrowly oval, long pilose.
Distribution
Afrotropical Region (see Fig. 2).
Systematic remarks
Vockeroth (1969) suggested a close relationship with Epistrophe based on adult morphology and male genitalia. Láska et al. (2000) described the puparium of Afrosyrphus based on the material from Kenya collected by Schmutterer and argued that Afrosyrphus is more closely related to Epistrophella based on the puparium morphology. Our unpublished target enrichment Syrphinae phylogeny supports both of these hypotheses, with Epistrophella sister to Afrosyrphus + Epistrophe.

description: In the present paper, which is a direct sequel of our paper [12] joint with Roozbeh Hazrat, we prove unrelativised version of the standard commutator formula in the setting of Chevalley groups. Namely, let $Φ$ be a reduced irreducible root system of rank $\ge 2$, let $R$ be a commutative ring and let $I,J$ be two ideals of $R$. We consider subgroups of the Chevalley group $G(Φ,R)$ of type $Φ$ over $R$. The unrelativised elementary subgroup $E(Φ,I)$ of level $I$ is generated (as a group) by the elementary unipotents $x_α(ξ)$, $α\inΦ$, $ξ\in I$, of level $I$. Obviously, in general $E(Φ,I)$ has no chances to be normal in $E(Φ,R)$, its normal closure in the absolute elementary subgroup $E(Φ,R)$ is denoted by $E(Φ,R,I)$. The main results of [12] implied that the commutator $\big[E(Φ,I),E(Φ,J)]$ is in fact normal in $E(Φ,R)$. In the present paper we prove an unexpected result that in fact $\big[E(Φ,I),E(Φ,J)]=\big[E(Φ,R,I),E(Φ,R,J)\big]$. It follows that the standard commutator formula also holds in the unrelativised form, namely $\big[E(Φ,I),C(Φ,R,J)]=\big[E(Φ,I),E(Φ,J)\big]$, where $C(Φ,R,I)$ is the full congruence subgroup of level $I$. In particular, $E(Φ,I)$ is normal in $C(Φ,R,I)$.

description: Objectives: Healthcare service needs have changed with the use of effective treatment strategies. Using data from the modern era, we aimed to explore and compare health service-related direct costs in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA). Methods: We linked a longitudinal, population-based clinical data set from Finland’s largest non-university hospital’s rheumatology clinic with an administrative database on health service-related direct costs in 2014. We compared all-cause costs and costs of comorbidities between adult patients with JIA, PsA, RA, and AxSpA (including ankylosing spondylitis). We also characterized patients with high healthcare resource utilization. Results: Cost distributions were similar between rheumatic diseases (p = 0.88). In adulthood, patients with JIA displayed a similar economic burden to much older patients with other inflammatory rheumatic diseases. A minority were high utilizers: among 119 patients with JIA, 15% utilized as much as the remaining 85%. For PsA (213 patients), RA (1086), and AxSpA (277), the high-utilization proportion was 10%. Both low and high utilizers showed rather low disease activity, but in high utilizers, the patient-reported outcomes were slightly worse, with the most distinct differences in pain levels. Of health service-related direct costs, index rheumatic diseases comprised only one-third (43.6% in JIA) and the majority were comorbidity costs. Conclusions: Patients with JIA, PsA, RA, and AxSpA share similar patterns of healthcare resource utilization, with substantial comorbidity costs and a minority being high utilizers. Innovations in meeting these patients’ needs are warranted.
