description: Abstract Children with chronic conditions often experience a long treatment which can be complex and negatively impacts the child's well-being. In planning treatment and interventions for children with chronic conditions, it is important to measure health-related quality of life (HrQoL). HrQoL instruments are considered to be a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) and should be used in routine practice. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the content dimensions of HrQoL instruments for children's self-reports using the framework of ICF-CY. Method: The sample consist of six instruments for health-related quality of life for children 5 to 18 years of age, which was used in the Swedish national quality registries for children and adolescents with chronic conditions. The following instruments were included: CHQ-CF, DCGM-37, EQ-5D-Y, KIDSCREEN-52, Kid-KINDL and PedsQL 4.0. The framework of the ICF-CY was used as the basis for the comparison. Results: There were 290 meaningful concepts identified and linked to 88 categories in the classification ICF-CY with 29 categories of the component body functions, 48 categories of the component activities and participation and 11 categories of the component environmental factors. No concept were linked to the component body structures. The comparison revealed that the items in the HrQoL instruments corresponded primarily with the domains of activities and less with environmental factors. Conclusions: In conclusion, the results confirm that ICF-CY provide a good framework for content comparisons that evaluate similarities and differences to ICF-CY categories. The results of this study revealed the need for greater consensus of content across different HrQoL instruments. To obtain a detailed description of children's HrQoL, DCGM-37 and KIDSCREEN-52 may be appropriate instruments to use that can increase the understanding of young patients’ needs.

description: With the hypothesis that cosmic string loops act as seeds for globular clusters in mind, we study the role that velocities of these strings will play in determining the mass distribution of globular clusters. Loops with high enough velocities will not form compact and roughly spherical objects and can hence not be the seeds for globular clusters. We compute the expected number density and mass function of globular clusters as a function of both the string tension and the peak loop velocity, and compare the results with the observational data on the mass distribution of globular clusters in our Milky Way. We determine the critical peak string loop velocity above which the agreement between the string loop model for the origin of globular clusters (neglecting loop velocities) and observational data is lost.

description: In 2011 the Maa-nulth Treaty came into effect, replacing the Indian Act for the five Nuu-chah-nulth signatories to the Maa-nulth Final Agreement. Tucked in the first section of the treaty is the periodic review where the “Living Tree” doctrine – a foundational legal principle that directs and sets precedent for common law in Canada – is enacted. In 2026, the Maa-nulth Treaty will undergo its first periodic review, with the option to open up and revise the treaty. While Nuu-chah-nulth Nations have long revisited sacred agreements included in legal principles, revisiting such agreements with Crown parties is relatively new in British Columbia. Based on the thematic analysis of twenty-five interviews with Maa-nulth Treaty implementation team members from the Maa-nulth Treaty Society, the federal and provincial governments, and the Alliance of British Columbia Modern Treaty Nations, in this article we explore how treaty signatories perceive and are preparing for the periodic review. We do so while nesting our findings in the supposed evolution of treaty conceptualizations from cede and surrender through to the current Recognition and Reconciliation of Rights Policy in British Columbia. Findings suggest that representatives from across the treaty table are generally willing to uphold the living nature of treaty per priorities identified by Maa-nulth Nations. Yet challenges with implementation remain, particularly associated with poor funding of the treaty, the shuffling of representatives in federal and provincial governments, the magnitude of implementing self-governance for First Nations, and a lack of understanding across federal and provincial governments about the complexity of implementation.

description: We investigate the imprint of reheating on the gravitational wave spectrum produced by self-ordering of multi-component scalar fields after a global phase transition. The equation of state of the Universe during reheating, which usually has different behaviour from that of a radiation-dominated Universe, affects the evolution of gravitational waves through the Hubble expansion term in the equations of motion. This gives rise to a different power-law behavior of frequency in the gravitational wave spectrum. The reheating history is therefore imprinted in the shape of the spectrum. We perform $512^3$ lattice simulations to investigate how the ordering scalar field reacts to the change of the Hubble expansion and how the reheating effect arises in the spectrum. We also compare the result with inflation-produced gravitational waves, which has a similar spectral shape, and discuss whether it is possible to distinguish the origin between inflation and global phase transition by detecting the shape with future direct detection gravitational wave experiments such as DECIGO.

description: Since the more-than-human turn, geographers have increasingly called for a decentering of the human subject by breaking away from a classically modern understanding of subjectivity and by treating humans as one of many players. In this article, we offer an alternative way of decentering the subject by following the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. Far from being subject-centered, psychoanalysis aims to understand the subject as a radically decentered and fragile production, which is only secured through what Lacan calls the imaginary. The imaginary combines two realms—image and imagination—and focuses on how the subject generates a sense of the self through spatial identification with images. Based on image-based interviews conducted in Singapore, Vancouver, and Berlin following the method of photo-elicitation, we demonstrate how this imaginary subject can be empirically investigated. We identify five stages in the interviews that help us retrace how the subject establishes an imaginary relationship with an image as well as how it is confronted with the fragile constitution of this relationship. We conclude by emphasizing the potential of image-based interviews to investigate the decentering of subjects and explore ways in which geographers can further decenter the subject psychoanalytically.

Dose-dependent alcohol-induced alterations in chromatin structure persist beyond the window of exposure and correlate with fetal alcohol syndrome birth defects
Creators: name: Parnell, Scott
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Abstract Background In recent years, we have come to recognize that a multitude of in utero exposures have the capacity to induce the development of congenital and metabolic defects. As most of these encounters manifest their effects beyond the window of exposure, deciphering the mechanisms of teratogenesis is incredibly difficult. For many agents, altered epigenetic programming has become suspect in transmitting the lasting signature of exposure leading to dysgenesis. However, while several chemicals can perturb chromatin structure acutely, for many agents (particularly alcohol) it remains unclear if these modifications represent transient responses to exposure or heritable lesions leading to pathology. Results Here, we report that mice encountering an acute exposure to alcohol on gestational Day-7 exhibit significant alterations in chromatin structure (histone 3 lysine 9 dimethylation, lysine 9 acetylation, and lysine 27 trimethylation) at Day-17, and that these changes strongly correlate with the development of craniofacial and central nervous system defects. Using a neural cortical stem cell model, we find that the epigenetic changes arising as a consequence of alcohol exposure are heavily dependent on the gene under investigation, the dose of alcohol encountered, and that the signatures arising acutely differ significantly from those observed after a 4-day recovery period. Importantly, the changes observed post-recovery are consistent with those modeled in vivo, and associate with alterations in transcripts encoding multiple homeobox genes directing neurogenesis. Unexpectedly, we do not observe a correlation between alcohol-induced changes in chromatin structure and alterations in transcription. Interestingly, the majority of epigenetic changes observed occur in marks associated with repressive chromatin structure, and we identify correlative disruptions in transcripts encoding Dnmt1, Eed, Ehmt2 (G9a), EzH2, Kdm1a, Kdm4c, Setdb1, Sod3, Tet1 and Uhrf1. Conclusions These observations suggest that the immediate and long-term impacts of alcohol exposure on chromatin structure are distinct, and hint at the existence of a possible coordinated epigenetic response to ethanol during development. Collectively, our results indicate that alcohol-induced modifications to chromatin structure persist beyond the window of exposure, and likely contribute to the development of fetal alcohol syndrome-associated congenital abnormalities.

description: The production of K$^{*}$(892)$^{0}$ and $ϕ$(1020) mesons has been measured in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV. K$^{*0}$ and $ϕ$ are reconstructed via their decay into charged hadrons with the ALICE detector in the rapidity range $-0.5 < y <0$. The transverse momentum spectra, measured as a function of the multiplicity, have p$_{\mathrm{T}}$ range from 0 to 15 GeV/$c$ for K$^{*0}$ and from 0.3 to 21 GeV/$c$ for $ϕ$. Integrated yields, mean transverse momenta and particle ratios are reported and compared with results in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}$ = 2.76 TeV. In Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions, K$^{*0}$ and $ϕ$ probe the hadronic phase of the system and contribute to the study of particle formation mechanisms by comparison with other identified hadrons. For this purpose, the mean transverse momenta and the differential proton-to-$ϕ$ ratio are discussed as a function of the multiplicity of the event. The short-lived K$^{*0}$ is measured to investigate re-scattering effects, believed to be related to the size of the system and to the lifetime of the hadronic phase.

description: Portraying Sun Yat-sen in The Chinese Times: A Trans-local Perspective Abstract Sun Yat-sen visited Canada several times over the period of a decade at the turn of the twentieth century to seek financial support for his revolution to overthrow the Qing government and build a republic. The years of China’s new nation-building shortly before and after 1911 witnessed a honeymoon relationship turning to a bitter end between Sun and the Chee Kung Tong (hereafter CKT) in Canada, the strongest financial supporter abroad of Sun’s revolution. This paper examines the narratives The Chinese Times offers on the affiliation between Sun Yat-sen and the CKT, focusing on how the newspaper portrayed and conveyed the CKT’s view of Sun Yat-sen from its local perspective in the transnational context. It reviews how The Chinese Times served as a platform for public opinion and medium in the transnational media sphere while acting as the mouthpiece of the CKT.

description: Device-to-device (D2D) communication enables direct communication between proximate devices thereby improving the overall spectrum utilization and offloading traffic from cellular networks. This paper develops a new spatial model for D2D networks in which the device locations are modeled as a Poisson cluster process. Using this model, we study the performance of a typical D2D receiver in terms of coverage probability under two realistic content availability setups: (i) content of interest for a typical device is available at a device chosen uniformly at random from the same cluster, which we term uniform content availability, and (ii) content of interest is available at the $k^{th}$ closest device from the typical device inside the same cluster, which we term $k$-closest content availability. Using these coverage probability results, we also characterize the area spectral efficiency (ASE) of the whole network for the two setups. A key intermediate step in this analysis is the derivation of the distributions of distances from a typical device to both the intra- and inter-cluster devices. Our analysis reveals that an optimum number of D2D transmitters must be simultaneously activated per cluster in order to maximize ASE. This can be interpreted as the classical tradeoff between more aggressive frequency reuse and higher interference power. The optimum number of simultaneously transmitting devices and the resulting ASE increase as the content is made available closer to the receivers. Our analysis also quantifies the best and worst case performance of clustered D2D networks both in terms of coverage and ASE.

description: In this work, we investigate the possibility of probing a class of neutrino mass models at the LHC proton-proton collisions with 8 and 14 TeV energies. The existence of lepton flavor violating interactions for a singlet charged scalar, $S^{\pm}$, that couples to the leptons could induce many processes such as $pp\rightarrow\ell_α^{\pm}\ell_β^{\mp}+\slashed E $. Using the processes with $\ell_α\ell_β=ee,eμ,μμ$, we found that an inclusive cut on the $M_{T2}$ event variable is vital in our analysis and leads to an effective suppression of the large Standard Model background. Our results show possible detectability of the charged scalars effect, especially at the $\sqrt{s}= 14~\text{TeV}$.

Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) enhances lipopolysaccharide-stimulated tissue factor in human monocytes and monocyte-derived microvesicles
Creators: name: Mackman, Nigel
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Abstract Background Immunomodulatory effects in humans of Δ9−Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana are controversial. Tissue factor (TF), the activator of the extrinsic coagulation cascade, is increased on circulating activated monocytes and is expressed on microvesicles released from activated monocytes during inflammatory conditions, which perpetuate coagulopathies in a number of diseases. In view of the increased medicinal use of marijuana, effects of THC on human monocytes and monocyte-derived microvesicles activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated. Findings Peak levels of TF procoagulant activity developed in monocytes or microvesicles 6 h following LPS treatment and were unaltered by THC. After 24 h of LPS stimulation, TF activity declined in control-treated or untreated cells and microvesicles, but persisted with THC treatment. Peak TF protein occurred within 6 h of LPS treatment independent of THC; by 24 h, TF protein declined to almost undetectable levels without THC, but was about 4-fold greater with THC. Steady-state TF mRNA levels were similar up to 2 h in the presence of LPS with or without THC, while 10-fold greater TF mRNA levels persisted over 3–24 h with THC treatment. Activation of MAPK or NF-κB pathways was unaltered by THC treatment and inflammatory cytokine IL-6 levels were unchanged. In contrast, TNF and IL-8 levels were enhanced by 20–50 %. Conclusions THC enhances TF expression in activated monocytes resulting in elevated procoagulant activity. Marijuana use could potentiate coagulopathies in individuals with chronic immune activation such as HIV-1 infection or inflammatory bowel disease.

description: We appraise the impacts of Western ontologies of conservation and protected areas management in British Columbia. We assess how the ongoing privileging of Western ontologies in management strategies represents “slow violence” that affects traditional food systems of the Líl̓wat Nation and, consequently, Líl̓wat food sovereignty. We find that the slow violence of settler colonialism in Líl̓wat territory continues, with recreation and conservation creating new pressures on Líl̓wat peoples’ food practices on lands that have already been extensively logged, with some areas also flooded for generation of hydropower. We analyze how conflicting ontologies play out in the management and stewardship of conservation and recreation on lands in Líl̓wat territory. We find that current approaches to conservation and recreation management fall short of respecting and putting into practice measures that are compatible with Líl̓wat relational ontologies. This analysis includes unique and important contributions that merge diverse fields of inquiry, including insights into Indigenous food sovereignty and outdoor recreational management, which have previously not come into conversation with one another. Our findings are relevant and timely, given the BC government’s commitments to uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples in provincial laws and policies.

description: Approximate message-passing (AMP) method is a simple and efficient framework for the linear inverse problems. In this letter, we propose a faster AMP to solve the \emph{$L_1$-Split-Analysis} for the 2D sparsity separation, which is referred to as \emph{MixAMP}. We develop the MixAMP based on the factor graphical modeling and the min-sum message-passing. Then, we examine MixAMP for two types of the sparsity separation: separation of the direct-and-group sparsity, and that of the direct-and-finite-difference sparsity. This case study shows that the MixAMP method offers computational advantages over the conventional first-order method, TFOCS.

description: Abstract Background The isolated northern region of Nicaragua has one of the highest rates of diarrheal disease in Central America. Political and environmental hardships faced by inhabitants of this region are contributing factors to this health inequity. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between water and latrine infrastructure and the prevalence of diarrhea in this region. Methods A population-based, cross-sectional survey of women of reproductive age was conducted in the Sahsa region of northern Nicaragua in July, 2009. Households were selected by two stage cluster sampling methodology. A questionnaire was administered in Spanish and Miskito with assessment of household and socioeconomic conditions, sanitation practices, and health care access. Diarrhea prevalence differences at the household level over a two week reporting period were estimated with a standardized instrument which included assessment of water treatment and latrine use and maintenance. Results There were 189 women enrolled in the current study. The use of water purification methods, such as chlorine and filters, and latrine ownership were not associated with reduced prevalence of household diarrhea in the two week reporting period. Latrine overflow, however, was associated with an increased prevalence of diarrhea during the same two week period [adjusted prevalence difference and 95% CI: 0.19 (0.03, 0.36)]. Conclusions Simple, low cost interventions that improve water and latrine infrastructure may reduce the prevalence of diarrheal disease in the isolated regions of Nicaragua and Central America.

An interesting two-dimensional SC forms in such an interface with properties resembling in certain aspects the Fu-Kane superconductor with some notable differences. In a Weyl semimetal with unbroken time reversal symmetry the interface SC supports completely flat Majorana bands in a linear Josephson junction with a π phase difference. We discuss stability of these bands against disorder and propose ways in which they can be observed experimentally.

description: Abstract Background Obesity and physical inactivity are responsible for more than 365,000 deaths per year and contribute substantially to rising healthcare costs in the US, making clear the need for effective public health interventions. Calorie labeling on menus has been implemented to guide consumer ordering behaviors, but effects on calories purchased has been minimal. Methods In this project, we tested the effect of physical activity calorie expenditure (PACE) food labels on actual point-of-decision food purchasing behavior as well as physical activity. Using a two-group interrupted time series cohort study design in three worksite cafeterias, one cafeteria was assigned to the intervention condition, and the other two served as controls. Calories from food purchased in the cafeteria were assessed by photographs of meals (accompanied by notes made on-site) using a standardized calorie database and portion size-estimation protocol. Primary outcomes will be average calories purchased and minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) by individuals in the cohorts. We will compare pre-post changes in study outcomes between study groups using piecewise generalized linear mixed model regressions (segmented regressions) with a single change point in our interrupted time-series study. The results of this project will provide evidence of the effectiveness of worksite cafeteria menu labeling, which could potentially inform policy intervention approaches. Discussion Labels that convey information in a more readily understandable manner may be more effective at motivating behavior change. Strengths of this study include its cohort design and its robust data capture methods using food photographs and accelerometry.

description: Internal energy, enthalpy and entropy are the key quantities to study thermodynamic properties of the moist atmosphere, because they correspond to the First (internal energy and enthalpy) and Second (entropy) Laws of thermodynamics. The aim of this chapter is to search for analytical formulas for the specific values of enthalpy and entropy and for the moist-air mixture composing the atmosphere. The Third Law of thermodynamics leads to the definition of absolute reference values for thermal enthalpies and entropies of all atmospheric species. It is shown in this Chapter 22 that it is possible to define and compute a general moist-air entropy potential temperature, which is really an equivalent of the moist-air specific entropy in all circumstances (saturated, or not saturated). Similarly, it is shown that it is possible to define and compute the moist-air specific enthalpy, which is different from the thermal part of what is called Moist-Static-Energy in atmospheric studies.

description: We present a prescription to compute the time-domain gravitational wave (GW) polarization states associated with spinning compact binaries inspiraling along quasi-circular orbits. We invoke the orbital angular momentum ${\bf L}$ rather than its Newtonian counterpart ${\bf L_{\rm N}}$ to describe the orbits and the two spin vectors are freely specified in the source frame associated with the initial direction of the total angular momentum. We discuss the various implications of our approach.

The impact of environment on the Fall relation

description: In a Lambda cold dark matter (DM) Universe, the stellar specific angular momentum (j) and the stellar mass (M) of a galaxy are tightly correlated as a consequence of the scaling existing for DM haloes. This correlation, a.k.a. Fall relation, is one of the most fundamental scaling relations of galaxies and represents a useful benchmark for analytical models and numerical simulations of galaxy formation and evolution. Indeed, galaxies living in dense environments, such as clusters and groups, and in filaments are affected by physical processes (e.g. mergers, ram pressure stripping, pre-processing) that leave indelible and distinct marks on their angular momentum and mass distributions. Thus, the Fall relation can be used as a powerful tool to get insights on the evolutionary path of galaxies in different environments. In particular, if pre-processing and ram pressure stripping are efficient in filaments, recently-accreted cluster members are expected to lie below the Fall relation of field galaxies. We use a sample of star-forming galaxies in different environments (from field to cluster) and investigate their position in the j-M plane. These galaxies were observed with MUSE/VLT as part of the survey GASP (“Gas stripping phenomena in galaxies with MUSE”), which was designed to probe the galaxy disc up to 4-5 effective radii. This is essential to trace the whole angular momentum distribution of galaxy discs. Our sample includes both old and recently-accreted cluster members. We model the distribution and kinematics of the stellar and ionised gas components of our galaxies to extract robust rotation curves and surface density profiles, and we use these observables to calculate the stellar j and M of our galaxies. We find that our sample follows the Fall relation, with compelling implications for their evolutionary path based on the theoretical expectations.

A Hybrid Graph-drawing Algorithm for Large, Naturally-clustered, Disconnected Graphs

description: In this paper, we present a hybrid graph-drawing algorithm (GDA) for layouting large, naturally-clustered, disconnected graphs. We called it a hybrid algorithm because it is an implementation of a series of already known graph-drawing and graph-theoretic procedures. We remedy in this hybrid the problematic nature of the current force-based GDA which has the inability to scale to large, naturally-clustered, and disconnected graphs. These kinds of graph usually model the complex inter-relationships among entities in social, biological, natural, and artificial networks. Obviously, the hybrid runs longer than the current GDAs. By using two extreme cases of graphs as inputs, we present in this paper the derivation of the time complexity of the hybrid which we found to be $O(|\V|^3)$.

Gene-environment interaction between lead and Apolipoprotein E4 causes cognitive behavior deficits in mice

description: Abstract Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. Environmental factors and gene-environment interactions (GXE) may increase AD risk, accelerate cognitive decline, and impair learning and memory. However, there is currently little direct evidence supporting this hypothesis. Methods In this study, we assessed for a GXE between lead and ApoE4 on cognitive behavior using transgenic knock-in (KI) mice that express the human Apolipoprotein E4 allele (ApoE4-KI) or Apolipoprotein E3 allele (ApoE3-KI). We exposed 8-week-old male and female ApoE3-KI and ApoE4-KI mice to 0.2% lead acetate via drinking water for 12 weeks and assessed for cognitive behavior deficits during and after the lead exposure. In addition, we exposed a second (cellular) cohort of animals to lead and assessed for changes in adult hippocampal neurogenesis as a potential underlying mechanism for lead-induced learning and memory deficits. Results In the behavior cohort, we found that lead reduced contextual fear memory in all animals; however, this decrease was greatest and statistically significant only in lead-treated ApoE4-KI females. Similarly, only lead-treated ApoE4-KI females exhibited a significant decrease in spontaneous alternation in the T-maze. Furthermore, all lead-treated animals developed persistent spatial working memory deficits in the novel object location test, and this deficit manifested earlier in ApoE4-KI mice, with female ApoE4-KI mice exhibiting the earliest deficit onset. In the cellular cohort, we observed that the maturation, differentiation, and dendritic development of adult-born neurons in the hippocampus was selectively impaired in lead-treated female ApoE4-KI mice. Conclusions These data suggest that GXE between ApoE4 and lead exposure may contribute to cognitive impairment and that impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis may contribute to these deficits in cognitive behavior. Together, these data suggest a role for GXE and sex differences in AD risk.
