description: The decline in children’s vaccination coverage and the resurgence of preventable infectious diseases draw attention to parents’ vaccine hesitancy. Our study introduces two validated tools to independently assess vaccine hesitancy and health literacy among parents with school-age children. We developed a Vaccine Confidence Index (VCI) from 10 Likert items, exploring their relationships through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. We modified the IMETER (Italian medical term recognition test) to measure health literacy. We assessed the internal consistency of the modified IMETER and the 10 Likert items using Cronbach’s alpha test (α) and McDonald’s omega total coefficient (ω) with good results (ω = 0.92, α = 0.90; ω = 0.87, α = 0.82 respectively). We used these tools within a questionnaire conducted on 743 parents recruited from pediatric clinic waiting rooms in Italy, collecting demographic data, information sources on vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases knowledge. The VCI resulting from factor analyses consisted of six items on a ten-point Likert scale, reflecting the ratio of positive to negative items. The survey revealed significant variations in the VCI according to individual features such as education, use of social networks, or Health institutions as sources of information. Multivariate logistic regression identified an association between vaccine intention and the VCI. Health literacy was functional for 91.2% of participants, but knowledge about vaccine-preventable diseases was generally low. The VCI showed no significant association with health literacy and vaccine-preventable diseases knowledge. The VCI and the modified IMETER effectively assess vaccination attitude and health literacy, offering valuable public health tools for tailoring vaccination campaigns to hesitant population subgroups.

description: We use perturbation theory to construct perfect lattice actions for fermions and gauge fields by blocking directly from the continuum. When one uses a renormalization group transformation that preserves chiral symmetry the resulting lattice action for massless fermions is chirally symmetric but nonlocal. When the renormalization group transformation breaks chiral symmetry, the lattice action becomes local but chiral symmetry is explicitly broken. In particular, starting with a chiral gauge theory in the continuum one either obtains a lattice theory which is gauge invariant but nonlocal, or a local theory with explicitly broken gauge invariance. In both cases the spectrum of the lattice theory is identical with the one of the continuum and the anomaly is correctly reproduced. We also apply our techniques to vector-like theories. In particular we propose a new renormalization group transformation for QCD and we optimize its parameters for locality of the perfect action.

In this work we extract and build the catalogs of metal absorbers that will be used in future analyses, and make our results publicly available to the community. We design a fully automatic algorithm to search for absorption metal-line doublets of the species CIV, NV, SiIV and MgII in high-resolution ($R\gtrsim30\,000$) quasar spectra without human intervention, and apply it to the high-resolution and signal-to-noise ratio spectra of 690 quasars, observed with the UVES and HIRES instruments. We obtain $5\,656$ CIV doublets, $7\,919$ doublets of MgII, $2\,258$ of SiIV, and 239 of NV, constituting the largest high-resolution metal-doublet samples to date, and estimate the dependence of their completeness and purity on various doublet parameters such as equivalent width and redshift, using real and artificial quasar spectra. The catalogs include doublets with rest-frame line equivalent widths down to a few ${\rm mÅ}$, all detected at a significance above 3$σ$, and covering the redshifts between $1

description: Vaccines may alter the ability to combat infections unrelated to the target disease, i.e. have “nonspecific effects.” The non-live Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis vaccine (DTP) has been associated with increased child mortality, especially for females. In 2008, the DTP-containing Pentavalent vaccine replaced DTP vaccine in Guinea-Bissau. We investigate female relative to male mortality after Penta vaccination. In Guinea-Bissau, Bandim Health Project (BHP) registered children’s vaccination and vital status at biannual village visits and provided vaccines. Among children Penta-vaccinated by BHP, we compared mortality of males and females in Cox proportional hazards models. Children aged 6 weeks to 8 months entered the analysis at the date of vaccination and were followed for up to 6 months. Between September 2008 and December 2017, 33,989 children aged 6 weeks to 8 months were under surveillance. Of these 12,753 (females: 6,363; males: 6,390) received Penta by the BHP and entered the study contributing with 19,667 observations. The mortality rate following Penta vaccination was 25.2 per 1,000 person years for females and 26.6 for males, resulting in an adjusted Female/Male mortality rate ratio of (F/M aMRR) 1.01 (0.82–1.25). The association between sex and mortality differed by timeliness of vaccination, F/M aMRR: 0.62 (0.41–0.93) for children vaccinated below median age, and F/M aMRR: 1.38 (0.90–2.13) for children vaccinated above median age. We did not find higher overall mortality in females than males after Penta vaccination. Our findings suggest that mortality differences between males and females following Penta vaccination may depend on timeliness of Penta vaccination.

description: Correlations between different partitions of quantum systems play a central role in a variety of many-body quantum systems, and they have been studied exhaustively in experimental and theoretical research. Here, we investigate dynamical correlations in the time evolution of multiple parts of a composite quantum system. A rigorous measure to quantify correlations in quantum dynamics based on a full tomographic reconstruction of the quantum process has been introduced recently [Á. Rivas et al., New Journal of Physics, 17(6) 062001 (2015).]. In this work, we derive a lower bound for this correlation measure, which does not require full knowledge of the quantum dynamics. Furthermore we also extend the correlation measure to multipartite systems. We directly apply the developed methods to a trapped ion quantum information processor to experimentally characterize the correlations in quantum dynamics for two- and four-qubit systems. The method proposed and demonstrated in this work is scalable, platform-independent and applicable to other composite quantum systems and quantum information processing architectures. We apply the method to estimate spatial correlations in environmental noise processes, which are crucial for the performance of quantum error correction procedures.

description: Repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) is a broadly used statistical method to analyze data from experimental designs. RM-ANOVA aims at investigating effects of experimental conditions (i.e., factors) and predictors that affect the outcome of interest. It mainly considers contrasts that test standard main and interaction effects, even though more complex contrasts can in principle be used. Analyses, however, only focus on drawing conclusions about average effects and do not take into consideration interindividual differences in these effects. We propose an alternative approach to RM-ANOVA for analyzing repeated measures data, termed latent repeated measures analysis of variance (L-RM-ANOVA). The new approach is based on structural equation modeling and extends the latent growth components approach. L-RM-ANOVA enables the researcher to not only consider mean differences between different experimental conditions (i.e., average effects), but also to investigate interindividual differences in effects. Such interindividual differences are considered with regard to standard main and interactions effects and also with regard to customized contrasts that allow for testing specific hypotheses of interest. Furthermore, L-RM-ANOVA can include a measurement model for latent variables and can be used for the analysis of complex multi-factorial repeated measures designs. We conclude the presentation by demonstrating L-RM-ANOVA using a minimal repeated measures example.
Gravity as a Yang-Mills Theory Based on the Lorentz Group

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Yang-Mills theory associated with the restricted Lorentz group is revisited as a candidate for a theory of gravity. This is a natural idea because the principle of equivalence of gravitation and inertia suggests to introduce locally inertial coordinate systems with the gauge freedom of Lorentz transformations. Compared to previous implementations of the idea, we use a generalized expression for the vector potential of the gauge theory in terms of the metric, which involves a coupling constant. One can verify that, in the limit of small coupling constant, all the classical predictions of general relativity are reproduced. For the resulting higher-order field equations, the nature of the singularity associated with black holes changes. The proposed theory is based on a dimensionless action for coupling the Yang-Mills field to matter.

Computational methods for geochemical modelling: applications to carbon dioxide sequestration
Creators: name: Moreira Mulin Leal, Allan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Geochemical modelling is fundamental for solving many environmental problems, and specially useful for modelling carbon storage into deep saline aquifers. This is because the injected greenhouse gas perturbs the reservoir, causing the subsurface fluid to become acidic, and consequently increasing its reactivity with the formation rock. Assessment of the long term fate of carbon dioxide, therefore, requires accurate calculations of the geochemical processes that occur underground. For this, it is important to take into account the major water-gas-rock effects that play important roles during the gas storage and migration. These reactive processes can in general be formulated in terms of chemical equilibrium or chemical kinetics models. This work proposes novel numerical methods for the solution of multiphase chemical equilibrium and kinetics problems. Instead of adapting or improving traditional algorithms in the geochemical modelling literature, this work adopts an approach of abstracting the underlying mathematics from the chemical problems, and investigating suitable, modern and efficient methods for them in the mathematical literature. This is the case, for example, of the adaptation of an interior-point minimisation algorithm for the calculation of chemical equilibrium, in which the Gibbs energy of the system is minimised. The methods were developed for integration into reactive transport simulators, requiring them to be accurate, robust and efficient. These features are demonstrated in the manuscript. All the methods developed were applied to problems relevant to carbon sequestration in saline aquifers. Their accuracy was assessed by comparing, for example, calculations of pH and CO2 solubility in brines against recent experimental data. Kinetic modelling of carbon dioxide injection into carbonate and sandstone saline aquifers was performed to demonstrate the importance of accounting for the water-gas-rock effects when simulating carbon dioxide sequestration. The results demonstrated that carbonate rocks, for example, increase the potential of the subsurface fluid to dissolve even more mobile CO2.

description: Cumulative sum (CUSUM) and change-point analysis (CPA) are two well-established statistical process control methods to detect changes in a sequence. Both have been used in psychometric research to detect aberrant responses in a response sequence, e.g., test speededness, inattentiveness, or cheating. However, the pros and cons of CUSUM and CPA in different testing settings still remain unclear. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive comparison of the performance of twelve CUSUM-based statistics and three CPA-based procedures in detecting test speededness. Two speededness mechanisms are considered, namely the graduate change model (GCM) and the hybrid model (HM), to test the robustness and flexibility of the two methods. Simulation studies show that the performances of the statistics are affected by the underlying data generating model, the severity of speededness, and the test length. Generally, under HM some CUSUM statistics perform much better than the CPA-based statistics. Under the GCM, the performance of the CPA statistics is dramatically improved. Taken together, due to the unknown mechanism of speededness in real applications, two CUSUM-based statistics are recommended when the test length is long (e.g., 80 items), regardless of the underlying mechanism being HM or GCM. In a relatively short (e.g., 40 items) or medium-length (e.g., 60 items) test, no statistic always ends up in the top three under both HM and GCM. In those cases, either one of the two CUSUM-based statistics mentioned above can be a reasonable choice because of their good (though not necessarily the best) performance in a wide range of conditions.
Testing Haldane's Conjecture in the O(3) Model by a Meron Cluster Simulation

description: Twelve years ago, Haldane formulated his famous conjecture for 1-d antiferromagnetic quantum spin chains. In the context of the 2-d O(3) model with a θterm, it predicts a phase transition at θ= π, which has not yet been verified reliably. To simulate this we use the Wolff cluster algorithm together with an improved estimator for the topological charge distribution. Each cluster carries integer or half integer charge. Clusters with charge 1/2 are identified with merons. At θ= πthey are inactive, such that the mass gap vanishes. We obtain critical exponents which are consistent with predictions from the k=1 WZNW model, therefore confirming a second order phase transition.

Analysis of carotid wall mechanics based on ultrasound imaging
Creators: name: Wang, Zhongjie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2014

description: Stroke is the third biggest killer and the leading cause of severe disability in the UK. The most common type of stroke is known as an ischaemic stroke in which blood vessels in the brain become blocked, most often as a result of rupture of atherosclerotic plaques formed in the carotid arteries, especially at the bifurcation and in the entrance to the internal carotid artery which feeds the cerebral circulation. The carotid arteries can be examined through ultrasound scans, which provide images of the vessel allowing assessment of the severity of carotid disease. In this project, ultrasound images of carotid arteries acquired from patients with varying degrees of carotid disease are analysed and computational models are built to predict the mechanical stresses within carotid arteries with or without atherosclerosis. Ultrasound imaging was chosen owing to its non-invasive nature and wide availability. Work presented in this thesis follows a logical progression. First, image analysis tools are developed and presented in Chapter 3. Based on the processed ultrasound images, finite element models of carotid arteries are constructed and biomechanical analyses of varying degrees of complexity are carried out. In Chapter 4, the carotid artery is assumed as an elastic material, and comparisons are made between 2-D and 3-D models based on idealised geometry. In an attempt to improve the predictive ability of the model and achieve better understanding of disease progression, the viscoelastic behaviour of the carotid vessel wall is taken into account, and detailed analyses of the effect of vessel wall viscosity and hysteresis are presented in Chapter 5. Methods used to derive subject-specific viscoelastic material properties from in vivo pressure-diameter data are also described. Finally, in order to understand the effect of interaction between the viscoelastic vessel wall and blood flow in carotid arteries, fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models are developed, and the FSI model as well as its validation are presented in Chapter 6. Work reported in this thesis has shown that by combining ultrasound measurement with computational analysis, it is possible to provide additional information that will aid clinicians in their diagnosis and decision making. Carotid biomechanical analysis can be carried out with subject-specific information, such as viscoelastic wall properties and geometry, derived from in vivo data acquired non-invasively. The ultrasound-image based modelling approach developed in this thesis will also help improve our understanding of the role of vessel wall motion in the development and progression of carotid diseases.

description: Background: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is defined by liver inflammation and consecutive fibrotic damage caused by a deposition of fat in the liver. No licensed medical treatments exist and lifestyle modification is difficult to incorporate into everyday life. We investigated the efficacy and safety of a 48-week treatment with vitamin D3 in NASH patients. Methods: Histologically determined NASH patients with elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and decreased 25-OH vitamin D level at baseline received vitamin D3 or placebo orally over a 48-week period. The primary endpoint of this study was the change in ALT from baseline to the end-of-treatment. Steatohepatitis was categorized according to the Steatosis, Activity and Fibrosis Score and disease activity was assessed using the NAFLD activity score. Results: Serum 25-OH vitamin D levels significantly increased only in the vitamin D3 group over the 48-week treatment phase indicating compliance. In contrast to placebo, patients in the vitamin D group had markedly decreased ALT levels after the end-of-treatment phase. A significant decrease during treatment with vitamin D was also observed for cytokeratin-18 fragments compared with placebo. The study was not powered to detect changes in histological score, hence only descriptive results for histopathological characteristics are available. Conclusions: Treatment with 2100 IE vitamin D q.d. over 48 weeks was well tolerated and led to a significant improvement of serum ALT levels in patients with hypovitaminosis D and histology-proven NASH as the primary endpoint together with a trend toward reduction of hepatic steatosis, which was not significant due to a small number of available biopsy specimens.

description: What to do when item response data are multidimensional but a unidimensional model is preferred in terms of statistical simplicity and ease of interpretability? The projection method for the compensatory logistic multidimensional item response model for dichotomous data leads to a two parameter logistic model with local item dependence. Despite the local item dependence, the model is unidimensional for many practical purposes. Here, Ip’s projection method is generalized to the case of the graded response model for polytomous variables, extending the applicability of the method to Likert-type response formats. A secondary aim of the paper is the study of rotation techniques intended for use prior to projection. In contrast to rotations aiming at a simple structure of factor loadings, the proposed techniques increase the variance explained before or after projection, facilitate the interpretation of the projected dimension by variants of target rotations or a mix of both. The method is illustrated with an application to the Highly Sensitive Person Scale and R code is provided.

description: We present the results from ASCA observations of NGC 3783 carried out during 1993 and 1996. Variability is observed both between the two epochs and within the individual observations, the latter due to a non-stationary process. We find the spectra at both epochs to contain features due to absorption by ionized material, predominantly due to Ovii and Oviii. We find the opacity for such material to decrease by a factor approx 2 in the approx 0.7--1.0 keV band between the epochs while the photoionizing flux increases by approx25%. By comparison with detailed photoionization models we show this behaviour is inconsistent with that expected from a single-zone of photoionized gas. A deficit in the data compared to such models, consistent with excess absorption by Oviii, supports the suggestion that the material consists of two or more zones. Significant Fe K-shell emission is also observed during both epochs. We show this emission is dominated by the asymmetric line profile expected from the innermost regions of the accretion flow. We find no evidence that the Fe emission varied in either shape or equivalent width between the two epochs.

description: The periodic optical orientation of electron spins in (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots leads to the formation of electron spin precession modes about an external magnetic field which are resonant with the pumping periodicity. As the electron spin is localized within a nuclear spin bath, its polarization imprints onto the spin polarization of the bath. The latter acts back on the electron spin polarization. We implement a pulse protocol where a train of laser pulses is followed by a long, dark gap. It allows us to obtain a high-resolution precession mode spectrum from the free evolution of the electron spin polarization. Additionally, we vary the number of pump pulses in a train to investigate the build-up of the precession modes. To separate out nuclear effects, we suppress the nuclear polarization by using a radio-frequency field. We find that a long-living nuclear spin polarization imprinted by the periodic excitation significantly speeds up the buildup of the electron spin polarization and induces the formation of additional electron spin precession modes. To interpret these findings, we extend an established dynamical nuclear polarization model to take into account optically detuned quantum dots for which nuclear spins activate additional electron spin precession modes.

description: We report new results on complex-temperature properties of Ising models. These include studies of the $s=1/2$ model on triangular, honeycomb, kagomé, $3 \cdot 12^2$, and $4 \cdot 8^2$ lattices. We elucidate the complex--$T$ phase diagrams of the higher-spin 2D Ising models, using calculations of partition function zeros. Finally, we investigate the 2D Ising model in an external magnetic field, mapping the complex--$T$ phase diagram and exploring various singularities therein. For the case $βH=iπ/2$, we give exact results on the phase diagram and obtain susceptibility exponents $γ'$ at various singularities from low-temperature series analyses.

description: Dwarf galaxies populating the Galactic halo are assumed to host the largest fractions of dark matter, as calculated from their velocity dispersions. Their major axes are preferentially aligned with the Vast Polar Structure (VPOS) that is perpendicular to the Galactic disk, and we find their velocity gradients aligned as well. It suggests that tidal forces exerted by the Milky Way are distorting dwarf galaxies. Here we demonstrate on the basis of the impulse approximation that the Galactic gravitational acceleration induces the dwarf line-of-sight velocity dispersion, which is also evidenced by strong dependences between both quantities. Since this result is valid for any dwarf mass value, it implies that dark matter estimate in Milky Way dwarfs cannot be deduced from the product of their radius to the square of their line-of-sight velocity dispersion. This questions the high dark-matter fractions reported for these evanescent systems, and the universally adopted total-to-stellar mass relationship in the dwarf regime. It suggests that many dwarfs are at their first passage and are dissolving into the Galactic halo. It opens a promising way to estimate the Milky Way total mass profile at large distances.

description: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has now persisted globally for four years, resulting in a staggering death toll of over 4 million individuals. The COVID-19 vaccine has emerged as a highly effective tool in controlling the spread of this virus. However, as the number of individuals receiving COVID-19. In this context, the investigation of adverse reactions related to COVID-19 vaccines holds paramount importance in relevant research. The purpose is to evaluate the current research status regarding adverse reactions associated with COVID-19 vaccines, offering insights for future research. A total of 3,746 articles were included in this analysis, and there has been a notable upward trajectory in the volume of published articles. The CiteSpace v6.1.R6, VOSviewer, SCImago Graphica, and Excel 2019 were employed to analyze and visualize the results. The institutions, countries, journals, authors, co-cited references, and keywords of these articles were analyzed. Furthermore, this study delves into the characteristics of articles on adverse reactions associated with COVID-19 vaccines. It was observed that the number of studies on COVID-19 vaccines has increased year by year since 2019 and witnessed a surge in output in 2021. The vast majority of studies have affirmed the overall safety of COVID-19 vaccines, with adverse reactions tending to be more concentrated in specific diseases. These findings provide valuable ideas for future research in this field and suggest the importance of strengthening international cooperation on adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines.
Concluding Remarks at the 12th Potsdam Cosmology Workshop

description: Research in cosmology traditionally divided into two separate lines. On the one hand was the search for initial conditions: the cosmological parameters H, Omega, Omega_b, and Lambda, and the power spectrum P(k). On the other hand was the study of the formation and evolution of structures, from globular-cluster sized objects to large-scale structures. These lines of investigation are now becoming increasingly intertwined, and this tendency manifested itself in this conference. Following is my personal perspective on where we stand today. I also discuss some technological developments that I think will affect the field. My concluding remarks are very informal. They are not a review paper, and I omit references altogether rather than give a partial list.

Band Structure of Twisted Bilayer Graphene: Emergent Symmetries, Commensurate Approximants and Wannier Obstructions

description: A remarkable feature of the band structure of bilayer graphene at small twist angle is the appearance of isolated bands near neutrality, whose bandwidth can be reduced at certain magic angles (eg. $θ\sim 1.05^\circ$). In this regime, correlated insulating states and superconductivity have been experimentally observed. A microscopic description of these phenomena requires an understanding of universal aspects of the band structure, which we discuss here. First, we point out the importance of emergent symmetries, such as valley conservation, which are excellent symmetries in the limit of small twist angles and dictate qualitative features of the band structure. These have sometimes been overlooked when discussing commensurate approximants to the band structure, which we also review here, and solidify their connection with the continuum theory which incorporates all emergent symmetries. Finally, we discuss obstructions to writing down tight-binding models of just the isolated bands, and in particular a new symmetry based diagnostic of these obstructions, as well as relations to band topology and strategies for resolving the obstruction. Especially, we construct a four-band model where the two lower isolated bands realize all identified Wannier obstructions of the single-valley nearly flat bands of twisted bilayer graphene.

description: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a prevalent cardiovascular disease that greatly increases mortality in the aging population and imposes a heavy burden on global healthcare systems. The purpose of this study is to examine the research structure and current trends of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against AS from a bibliometric perspective, since the development of these drugs is currently booming. This study collected articles and reviews on mAbs against AS from the Web of Science Core Collection, spanning from 2003 to 2022. Biblioshiny was utilized to analyze and visualize the characteristics of countries, regions, authors, institutions, and journals included in this collection. We used VOS viewer to illustrate the frequency of country co-occurrence, and CiteSpace to visualize co-cited reference, keywords co-occurrence, keywords citation bursts, keywords clustering and timeline plots. The study included 1325 publications, with the United States emerging as a leading contributor to the field. ATHEROSCLEROSIS, CIRCULATION and ARTERIOSCLEROSISTHROMBOSIS AND VASCULAR BIOLOGY are core journals that publish high-quality literature on the latest advances in the field. Noteworthy authors with numerous high-quality publications include Witztum JL and Tsimikas S. Currently, lipid metabolism and inflammation are the main research areas of interest in this field. The mAbs against AS is an evolving field, and ongoing research continues to advance our understanding. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in this area, highlighting two primary research directions: inflammation and lipid metabolism. Additionally, the paper identifies emerging research hotspots, which will provide researchers with useful insights to guide future investigations and anticipate research directions.
