description: HEALTHY was a multi-center primary prevention trial designed to reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes in adolescents. Seven centers each recruited six middle schools that were randomized to either intervention or control. The HEALTHY intervention integrated multiple components in nutrition, physical education, behavior change and communications and promotion. The conceptual rationale as well as the design and development of the behavior intervention component are described. Pilot study data informed the development of the behavior intervention component. Principles of social learning and health-related behavior change were incorporated. One element of the behavior intervention component was a sequence of peer-led, teacher-facilitated learning activities known as FLASH (Fun Learning Activities for Student Health). Five FLASH modules were implemented over five semesters of the HEALTHY study, with the first module delivered in the second semester of the sixth grade and the last module in the second semester of the eighth grade. Each module contained sessions that were designed to be delivered on a weekly basis to foster self-awareness, knowledge, decision-making skills and peer involvement for health behavior change. FLASH behavioral practice incorporated individual and group self-monitoring challenges for eating and activity. Another element of the behavior intervention component was the family outreach strategy for extending changes in physical activity and healthy eating beyond the school day and for supporting the student's lifestyle change choices. Family outreach strategies included the delivery of newsletters and supplemental packages with materials to promote healthy behavior in the home environment during school summer and winter holiday breaks. In conclusion, the HEALTHY behavior intervention component, when integrated with total school food and physical education environmental changes enhanced by communications and promotional campaigns, is a feasible and acceptable mechanism for delivering age-appropriate social learning for healthy eating and physical activity among an ethnically diverse group of middle school students across the United States.

description: The HEALTHY study was a randomized, controlled, multicenter and middle school-based, multifaceted intervention designed to reduce risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. The study randomized 42 middle schools to intervention or control, and followed students from the sixth to the eighth grades. Here we describe the design of the HEALTHY nutrition intervention component that was developed to modify the total school food environment, defined to include the following: federal breakfast, lunch, after school snack and supper programs; a la carte venues, including snack bars and school stores; vending machines; fundraisers; and classroom parties and celebrations. Study staff implemented the intervention using core and toolbox strategies to achieve and maintain the following five intervention goals: (1) lower the average fat content of foods, (2) increase the availability and variety of fruits and vegetables, (3) limit the portion sizes and energy content of dessert and snack foods, (4) eliminate whole and 2% milk and all added sugar beverages, with the exception of low fat or nonfat flavored milk, and limit 100% fruit juice to breakfast in small portions and (5) increase the availability of higher fiber grain-based foods and legumes. Other nutrition intervention component elements were taste tests, cafeteria enhancements, cafeteria line messages and other messages about healthy eating, cafeteria learning laboratory (CLL) activities, twice-yearly training of food service staff, weekly meetings with food service managers, incentives for food service departments, and twice yearly local meetings and three national summits with district food service directors. Strengths of the intervention design were the integration of nutrition with the other HEALTHY intervention components (physical education, behavior change and communications), and the collaboration and rapport between the nutrition intervention study staff members and food service personnel at both school and district levels.

description: Статья посвящена феномену джазового фортепианного исполнительства 1940-х гг. Цель исследования – рассмотрение некоторых особенностей процесса становления стиля «бибоп» в контексте фортепианного искусства. В задачи входило проследить преемственность сферы джазового пианизма, тотальность преобразований бибопа и внедрение их в сферу джазового фортепиано, а так же определение роли этого явления в процессе дальнейшей эволюции джазовой музыки. Первыми реформаторами стиля «бибоп» – саксофонистом Ч. Паркером и трубачом Д. Гиллеспи – был предложен резко отличавшийся от свинговой традиции стиль игры. Вслед за ними, ведущие пианисты бибопа Б. Пауэлл и Т. Монк адаптировали находки в области мелодики, гармонии, формы, фразировки и артикуляции в джазовом пианизме. Этот процесс способствовал тотальному установлению стилистических норм бибопа и рождению нового звукового критерия для музыкантов и слушателей. Становление бибопа проходило в два этапа: на первом пианисты, как и другие джазовые музыканты, использовали универсальные приемы возникшего стиля «бибоп», регулирующие трактовку музыкального материала предыдущих периодов развития джаза, а в течение второго исполнители начали сочинять собственные джазовые композиции в рамках критериев бибопа. В результате этого привычные, контрастирующие в свинге части формы джазовой композиции – тема и импровизация – обрели объединяющие элементы и стали демонстрировать однородность в плане музыкального языка. Такие новации бибопа, как усложнение гармонической схемы, хроматизация мелодики, несимметричность фраз и их особая акцентуация послужили базисом для формирования джазовых стандартов нового типа. Эти реформы прочно закрепились как в джазовом исполнительстве, так и в сфере джазового фортепиано, определяя вектор дальнейшего развития искусства джаза.

(MZT AA 0.993 and 0.994); one female paratype from Silhouette, Belle Vue, (pitfall traps), 16.- 20.07.1999, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 1.312); one male paratype from St. Francois, 08.04.2001, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 2.202). Other material examined: Alphonse, 1juv., 09.04.2001, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 2.165); Mahé, 1juv., 03.12.1993, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 0.989) and Roche Caiman Bird Sanctuary, among vegetation, 1j., (MZT AA 0.308); Silhouette, La Passe, 1juv., Dec. 1993, J. Gerlach leg. (MZT AA 0.988). Etymology: Named for my friend Mr. Peter Hitchins who kindly invited me to Cousine during my arachnological excursion to Seychelles in 1999 I then learned his deep concern about the future of the native flora and fauna of Seychelles and especially that of the hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). Diagnosis: C. hitchinsi is readily distinguished from the other Seychellian Clubiona species, viz. C. mahensis Simon, 1893 by having only two small, well separated teeth on the lateral side of the biggest one while in C.mahensis there are five teeth touching each other; this character seems to hold true even for very small juveniles. Description: Medium-sized species; female larger than male (TL = 4.4-6.4, CL = 2.2-2.9). Carapace pale orange - brown; chelicerae and endites dark brown; sternum and legs pale yellowish; abdomen mouse grey, venter lighter. Chelicerae protruding with 4 promarginal and 3 retromarginal teeth. Male palpal tibia with simple, pointed apophysis; embolus long, whip-like. Vulva consisting of a pair of large, somewhat club-like receptaculae; their posterior ends are wide apart while apical ends almost touch each other; dark, transverse collar-like bands form a border between the spherical anterior parts and the larger posterior parts of receptaculae. Discussion: Earlier (Saaristo 1995) I wrongly determined the Roche Caiman Bird Sanctuary juvenile as "C." mahensis as is now shown by the cheliceral dentition.

description: В настоящей статье рассматриваются теоретические основы оперной деятельности выдающегося немецкого режиссера второй половины ХХ века профессора Вальтера Фельзенштейна. Особенностью его постановок явилось стремление максимально приблизиться к пониманию замысла композитора, обеспечить «подлинное прочтение» партитуры музыкального произведения. Начиная с первых постановок Фельзенштейна, критики отмечали высокий профессионализм режиссера. Театр «Комише опер» неоднократно был с гастролями в Советском Союзе и отечественная публика с восторгом принимала их спектакли. В 1969 году Фельзенштейн принял приглашение Советского правительства поставить оперу Ж. Бизе «Кармен» в музыкальном театре имени К. С. Станиславского и Н. И. Немировича-Данченко. Репетиционный процесс затянулся на год и благодаря этому, многие советские артисты и режиссеры смогли познакомиться с постановочными методами В. Фельзенштейна. Немецкий режиссер не оставил после себя целостного теоретического труда, обобщающего его взгляды на особенности постановочного процесса в музыкальном театре. Но в многочисленных мастер-классах, статьях, интервью он излагал свое видение основных проблем режиссуры, а также объяснял принципы работы над музыкальным произведением. В данной статье сделана попытка осмысления теоретических основ режиссерской деятельности В. Фельзенштейна и дано обоснование деления творчества режиссера на два периода. Автор производит сравнительный анализ творческого подхода к музыкальной режиссуре В. Фельзенштейна и А. Я. Таирова, постановки которого произвели на немецкого режиссера огромное впечатление. Впервые производится анализ ранее не издававшегося на русском языке проекта оперной студии, подготовленного В. Фельзенштейном в 1937 году, в период исключения его из имперской палаты театральных деятелей Германии. Этот проект является единственным документом, в котором выдающийся немецкий режиссер системно излагает свои взгляды на подготовку артистов и работников музыкального театра.

description: The HEALTHY primary prevention trial was designed to reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes in middle school students. Middle schools at seven centers across the United States participated in the 3-year study. Half of them were randomized to receive a multi-component intervention. The intervention integrated nutrition, physical education (PE) and behavior changes with a communications strategy of promotional and educational materials and activities. The PE intervention component was developed over a series of pilot studies to maximize student participation and the time (in minutes) spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), while meeting state-mandated PE guidelines. The goal of the PE intervention component was to achieve ≥150 min of MVPA in PE classes every 10 school days with the expectation that it would provide a direct effect on adiposity and insulin resistance, subsequently reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes in youth. The PE intervention component curriculum used standard lesson plans to provide a comprehensive approach to middle school PE. Equipment and PE teacher assistants were provided for each school. An expert in PE at each center trained the PE teachers and assistants, monitored delivery of the intervention and provided ongoing feedback and guidance.

description: HEALTHY was a 3-year middle school-based primary prevention trial to reduce modifiable risk factors for type 2 diabetes in youth. The study was conducted at seven centers across the country. This paper describes the recruitment and retention activities employed in the study. Schools and students were the focus of recruitment and retention. Each center was responsible for the recruitment of six schools; eligibility was based on ability to enroll a sufficient number of predominately minority and lower socioeconomic status students. Study staff met with district superintendents and school principals to verify the eligibility of schools, and to ascertain how appropriate the school would be for conducting the trial. Sixth grade students were recruited employing a variety of techniques; students and their parents did not know whether their school was randomized to the intervention or control arm. This cohort was followed through sixth, seventh and eighth grades. In the eighth grade, an additional sample of students who were not originally enrolled in the study was recruited in a similar manner to participate in data collection to allow for cross-sectional and dose-response secondary analyses. Parents signed informed consent forms and children signed informed assent forms, as per the needs of the local Institutional Review Board. Parents received a letter describing the results of the health screening for their children after data collection in sixth and eighth grades. Retention of schools and students was critical for the success of the study and was encouraged through the use of financial incentives and other strategies. To a large extent, student withdrawal due to out-migration (transfer and geographical relocation) was beyond the ability of the study to control. A multi-level approach that proactively addressed school and parent concerns was crucial for the success of recruitment and retention in the HEALTHY study.

description: Laser frequency combs are fast becoming critical to reaching the highest radial velocity precisions. One shortcoming is the highly variable brightness of the comb lines across the spectrum (up to 4-5 orders of magnitude). This can result in some lines saturating while others are at low signal and lost in the noise. Losing lines to either of these effects reduces the precision and hence effectiveness of the comb. In addition, the brightness of the comb lines can vary with time which could drive comb lines with initially reasonable SNR's into the two regimes described above. To mitigate these two effects, laser frequency combs use optical flattener's. Flattener's are typically bulk optic setups that disperse the comb light with a grating, and then use a spatial light modulator to control the amplitude across the spectrum before recombining the light into another single mode fiber and sending it to the spectrograph. These setups can be large (small bench top), expensive (several hundred thousand dollars) and have limited stability. To address these issues, we have developed an all-photonic spectrum flattener on a chip. The device is constructed from optical waveguides on a SiN chip. The light from the laser frequency comb's output optical fiber can be directly connected to the chip, where the light is first dispersed using an arrayed waveguide grating. To control the brightness of each channel, the light is passed through a Mach-Zehnder interferometer before being recombined with a second arrayed waveguide grating. Thermo-optic phase modulators are used in each channel before recombination to path length match the channels as needed. Here we present the results from our first generation prototype. The device operates from 1400-1800 nm (covering the H band), with 20, 20 nm wide channels.

description: In thinly laminated reservoirs, the determination of oil saturation from conventional resistivity and porosity logs is very challenging and in most cases found not to be representative. When the thickness of the layer is less than the vertical resolution of the measured log, the reading is not the true value of the layer. To address these challenges, several methods have been developed. One of these methods is to enhance the vertical resolution of the standard logs using a very high resolution log derived from borehole images. The other method introduced in recent years, is the measurement of both vertical and horizontal resistivity of the formation with a triaxial induction device. The anisotropy derived from these two directional resistivity measurements can be caused by thin layers lamination, which is highlighted by the vertical resistivity measurement only. The combination of these two methods provides a set of enhanced logs with reasonable depth of investigation with the additional information on anisotropy caused by the thin lamination reservoirs. Using these set of logs in an elemental analysis model, can provide a very detailed formation volumetric model, with layers representative of the thin laminations. A saturation profile is computed which leads to a better understanding of the reservoir and additional information for further investigations such as formation testing and perforation.

description: The HEALTHY study was a randomized, controlled, multicenter, middle school-based, multifaceted intervention designed to reduce risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. The study randomized 42 middle schools to intervention or control, and followed students from the sixth to the eighth grades. Participants were a racially, ethnically and geographically diverse cohort from across the United States. Here, we describe the conceptual underpinnings and design of the social marketing-based communications component of the HEALTHY study intervention that combined changes in the school nutrition and physical education (PE) environment with behavior change initiatives. The communications intervention component coordinated multiple elements to deliver campaigns that served to integrate and support all aspects of the HEALTHY intervention. The campaigns unfolded across five semesters of middle school, each targeting a specific theme related to the HEALTHY objectives. Communications campaigns comprised (1) core elements such as branding, posters, banners and visual and verbal messaging, (2) student events supporting the nutrition, PE and behavior intervention components through the application of social marketing and communications strategies, including the incorporation of student-generated media and (3) distribution of premiums and theme enhancers to extend the visibility of the study beyond the intervention environment. Formative research conducted with students, parents and school administrators was used to refine the communications strategy. Student peer communicators selected from the student body were involved to influence the normative student environment. Marketing and creative design experts developed a brand, logo, activities and materials. In the latter half of the study, student-generated messages and media were used to reflect local interests and culture and enhance peer influence. The HEALTHY intervention delivery and impact were strengthened by the communications strategies. The HEALTHY experience provides practical considerations for systematically incorporating a social marketing-based communications approach within future school-based health behavior interventions.

description: The “activitystat” hypothesis suggests that increases in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) are accompanied by a compensatory reduction in light physical activity (LPA) and/or an increase in inactivity in order to maintain a consistent total physical activity level (TPA).ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to identify evidence of compensation in middle school girls.SubjectsParticipants were 6,916, 8th grade girls from the Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG).DesignInactivity and physical activity were measured over 6- consecutive days using accelerometry (MTI Actigraph). A within-girl, repeated measures design was used to assess associations between physical activity and inactivity using general linear mixed models.ResultsWithin a given day, for every one MET-minute more of inactivity, there was 3.18 MET-minutes (95% confidence interval: −3.19, −3.17) less of TPA (activity > 2 METS) on the same day. Daily inactivity was also negatively associated with TPA on the following day. Each additional minute of MVPA was associated with 1.85 minutes less of inactivity on the same day (95% confidence interval: −1.89, −1.82). Daily MVPA was also negatively associated with inactivity the following day.ConclusionOur results, based on 6-days of observational data, were not consistent with the “activitystat” hypothesis, and instead indicated that physical activity displaced inactivity, at least in the short term. Longer intervention trials are needed, nevertheless our findings support the use of interventions to increase physical activity over discrete periods of time in middle school girls.

description: Many universities have courses and projects revolving around compiler or interpreter implementation as part of their degree programmes in computer science. In such teaching activities, tool support can be highly beneficial. While there are already several tools for assisting with development of the front end of compilers, tool support tapers off towards the back end, or requires more background experience than is expected of undergraduate students. Structural operational semantics is a useful and mathematically simple formalism for specifying the behaviour of programs and a specification lends itself well to implementation; in particular big-step or natural semantics is often a useful and simple approach. However, many students struggle with learning the notation and often come up with ill-defined and meaningless attempts at defining a structural operational semantics. A survey shows that students working on programming language projects feel that tool support is lacking and would be useful. Many of these problems encountered when developing a semantic definition are similar to problems encountered in programming, in particular ones that are essentially the result of type errors. We present a pedagogical metalanguage based on natural semantics, and its implementation, as an attempt to marry two notions: a syntax similar to textbook notation for natural semantics on the one hand, and automatic verification of some correctness properties on the other by means of a strong type discipline. The metalanguage and the tool provide the facilities for writing and executing specifications as a form of programming. The user can check that the specification is not meaningless as well as execute programs, if the specification makes sense.

description: Maintaining data consistency among multiple parties requires nodes to repeatedly send data to all other nodes. For example, the nodes of a blockchain network have to disseminate the blocks they create across the whole network. The scientific literature typically takes the ideal perspective that such data distribution is performed by broadcasting to all nodes directly, while in practice data is distributed by repeated multicast. Since correctness and security of consistency maintenance protocols usually have been established for the ideal setting only, it is vital to show that these properties carry over to real-world implementations. Therefore, it is desirable to prove that the ideal and the real behavior are equivalent. In the work described in this paper, we take an important step towards such a proof by proving a simpler variant of this equivalence statement. The simplification is that we consider only a concrete pair of network topologies, which nevertheless illustrates important phenomena encountered with arbitrary topologies. For describing systems that distribute data, we use a domain-specific language of processes that corresponds to a class of Petri nets and is embedded in a general-purpose process calculus. This way, we can outline our proof using an intuitive graphical notation and leverage the rich theory of process calculi in the actual proof, which is machine-checked using the Isabelle proof assistant.

description: The age-induced decline in the body's ability to fight disease is exacerbated by obesity and metabolic disease. Using a mouse model of diet-induced obesity, the combined challenge of a high-fat diet and age on liver morphology and biochemistry was characterized, while evaluating the potential of 15 min per day of high frequency (90 Hz), extremely low-magnitude (0.2 G) mechanical signals (LMMS) to suppress lipid accumulation in the liver. Following a 36-week protocol (animals 43 weeks of age), suppression of hepatomegaly and steatosis was reflected by a 29% lower liver mass in LMMS animals as compared with controls. Average triglyceride content was 101.7 ± 19.4 μg mg−1 tissue in the livers of high-fat diet control (HFD) animals, whereas HFD + LMMS animals realized a 27% reduction to 73.8 ± 22.8 μg mg−1 tissue. In HFD + LMMS animals, liver free fatty acids were also reduced to 0.026 ± 0.009 μEq mg−1 tissue from 0.035 ± 0.005 μEq mg−1 tissue in HFD. Moderate to severe micro- and macrovesicular steatosis in HFD was contrasted to a 49% reduction in area covered by the vacuoles of at least 15 μm2 in size in HFD + LMMS animals. These data provide preliminary evidence of the ability of LMMS to attenuate the progression of fatty liver disease, most likely achieved indirectly by suppressing adipogenesis and thus the total adipose burden through life, thereby reducing a downstream challenge to liver morphology and function.

description: Multi-agent systems for resource allocation (MRAs) have been introduced as a concept for modelling competitive resource allocation problems in distributed computing. An MRA is composed of a set of agents and a set of resources. Each agent has goals in terms of allocating certain resources. For MRAs it is typically of importance that they are designed in a way such that there exists a strategy that guarantees that all agents will achieve their goals. The corresponding model checking problem is to determine whether such a winning strategy exists or not, and the synthesis problem is to actually build the strategy. While winning strategies ensure that all goals will be achieved, following such strategies does not necessarily involve an optimal use of resources. In this paper, we present a technique that allows to synthesise cost-optimal solutions to distributed resource allocation problems. We consider a scenario where system components such as agents and resources involve costs. A multi-agent system shall be designed that is cost-minimal but still capable of accomplishing a given set of goals. Our approach synthesises a winning strategy that minimises the cumulative costs of the components that are required for achieving the goals. The technique is based on a propositional logic encoding and a reduction of the synthesis problem to the maximum satisfiability problem (Max-SAT). Hence, a Max-SAT solver can be used to perform the synthesis. From a truth assignment that maximises the number of satisfied clauses of the encoding a cost-optimal winning strategy as well as a cost-optimal system can be immediately derived.

description: ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that lower birth order amplifies the positive association between socioeconomic status and central adiposity in young adult males from a lower-income, developing country context.DesignThe Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey is an ongoing community-based, observational study of a one year birth cohort (1983).Subjects970 young adult males, mean age 21.5 y (2005).MeasurementsCentral adiposity measured by waist circumference; birth order; perinatal maternal characteristics including height, arm fat area, age, and smoking behavior; socioeconomic status at birth and in young adulthood.ResultsLower birth order was associated with higher waist circumference and increased odds of high waist circumference, even after adjustment for socioeconomic status in young adulthood, and maternal characteristics that could impact later offspring adiposity. Furthermore, the positive association between socioeconomic status and central adiposity was amplified in individuals characterized by lower birth order.ConclusionsThis research has failed to reject the mismatch hypothesis, which posits that maternal constraint of fetal growth acts to program developing physiology in a manner that increases susceptibility to the obesogenic effects of modern environments.

description: Notre mémoire a pour objet d’étudier les modifications des pratiques d’enseignement d’un enseignant généraliste, engendrées par la collaboration avec un enseignant spécialisé. En effet, depuis l’inclusion scolaire qui se veut une école accessible pour tous les enfants en âge d’être scolarisé, la collaboration entre un enseignant régulier et un enseignant spécialisé devient parfois obligatoire. Un des enjeux majeurs en cause, est la capacité de collaborer l’un avec l’autre afin que l’élève ayant des besoins particuliers arrive à maximiser ses apprentissages. Le rôle de chacun doit être bien défini, notamment au travers d’un travail de négociation entre les deux acteurs, afin que la collaboration se passe au mieux. Nous nous sommes attachées à mettre en évidence les modifications des pratiques enseignantes qui émergent au gré de ces échanges.

description: Previous studies have replicated the association of variants within FTO (fat mass- and obesity-associated) intron 1 with obesity and adiposity quantitative traits in populations of European ancestry. Non-European populations, however, have not been so intensively studied. The goal of this investigation was to examine the association of FTO single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), prominent in the literature in a multiethnic sample of non-Hispanic White American (n = 458), Hispanic American (n = 373) and African American (n = 288) subjects from the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS). This cohort provides the unique ability to evaluate how variation within FTO influences measures of adiposity and glucose homeostasis in three different ethnicities, which were ascertained and examined using a common protocol.

description: ObjectiveWe test whether a disparity by socioeconomic status (SES) (represented by educational attainment) in overweight has emerged among men or women during a recent 17 year period in China.MethodsData from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), a panel study including 7,314 women and 6,492 men, are used to longitudinally track the BMI and odds of overweight by educational attainment among Chinese adults (baseline age 18–50) from 1989 to 2006 to determine whether individuals of low (secondary school) educational attainment experienced a disproportionately faster increase in BMI or odds of overweight (BMI≥25) over time. The unadjusted mean BMI and prevalence of overweight by education are presented. Sex-stratified, random-effects models are used to estimate the associations and interactions by birth cohort are included.FindingsOverweight prevalence has doubled for women and tripled for men. Among women in 1989, the odds of overweight was not different for those of high versus low educational attainment; however, by 2006, odds of overweight were significantly lower for those with the highest education in both the younger (OR= 0.22; CI 0.11, 0.42) and older (OR=0.27; CI 0.10, 0.72) birth cohorts. The reverse trend is seen for men, who also begin with no difference in odds of overweight by SES, but by 2006, the odds ratio for the highest versus lowest education group was OR 3.4 (CI 1.82, 6.18).ConclusionsOver 17 years, low SES has become associated with higher BMI and odds of overweight among Chinese women, while high SES remains a risk factor for overweight among Chinese men.

description: It has been more than two years since the publication of our jointly written book, China Goes Green: Coercive Environmentalism for a Troubled Planet. Since then, multiple developments have confirmed and strengthened our core thesis that China’s “ecological civilisation” framework and programmes serve not only to achieve lower carbon and other environmental goals but also to strengthen the hand of the state over individuals and communities – and even to help export the state’s model of authoritarian governance. This short essay is intended to update this argument and to provide an overview of recent developments with respect to China’s carbon policies, pandemic response and international investment on the Belt and Road.
