Northeast Brazil
COVID-19 Pandemic (2020-)

description: Brazil endured a devastating blow during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the long-standing inequalities the country has consistently struggled with for years, the Northeast region was drastically and disproportionately affected. This study highlights the social and health inequalities that were overlooked and emphasizes the importance of better structured governmental policies that more efficiently address struggles in one of Brazil’s most heavily affected regions. The intention of this thesis is to serve as a helpful analysis for Brazil and other countries of socioeconomic and healthcare vulnerability to avoid repeating the same mistakes and to also consider what future consequences may lay ahead.

description: Experiments are beginning to probe the interaction of quantum particles with gravitational fields beyond the uniform-field regime. In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the gravitational field in such experiments can be written as a superposition state. We empirically demonstrate that alternative theories of gravity can avoid gravitational superposition states only by decoupling the gravitational field energy from the quantum particle's time evolution. Furthermore, such theories must specify a preferred quantum reference frame in which the equations of motion are valid. To the extent that these properties are theoretically implausible, recent experiments provide indirect evidence that gravity has quantum features. Proposed experiments with superposed gravitational sources would provide even stronger evidence that gravity is nonclassical.

description: We calculate the two-point Green's functions of operators dual to fermions of maximal gauged supergravity in four and five dimensions, in finite temperature backgrounds with finite charge density. The numerical method used in these calculations is based on differential equations for bilinears of the supergravity fermions rather than the equations of motion for the fermions themselves. The backgrounds we study have vanishing entropy density in appropriate extremal limits. Holographic Fermi surfaces are observed when the scalar field participating in the dual field theory operator has an expectation value, which makes sense from the point of view that the quasi-particles near the Fermi surfaces observed carry non-singlet gauge quantum numbers in the dual field theory.

description: The global spread of SARS-CoV-2 has continued to be a serious concern after WHO declared the virus to be the causative agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global pandemic. Monitoring of wastewater is a useful tool for assessing community prevalence given that fecal shedding of SARS-CoV-2 occurs in high concentrations by infected individuals, regardless of whether they are asymptomatic or symptomatic. Using tools that are part of wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approach, combined with molecular analyses, wastewater monitoring becomes a key piece of information used to assess trends and quantify the scale and dynamics of COVID-19 infection in a specific community, municipality, or area of service. This study investigates a six-month long SARS-CoV-2 RNA quantification in influent wastewater from four municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) serving the Charlotte region of North Carolina (NC) using both RT-qPCR and RT-ddPCR platforms. Influent wastewater was analyzed for the nucleocapsid (N) genes N1 and N2. Both RT-qPCR and RT-ddPCR performed well for detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 using the N1 target, while for the N2 target RT-ddPCR was more sensitive. SARS-CoV-2 concentration ranged from 103 to 105 copies/L for all four plants. Both RT-qPCR and RT-ddPCR showed a significant positive correlation between SARS-CoV-2 concentrations and the 7-day rolling average of clinically reported COVID-19 cases when lagging 5 to 12 days (ρ = 0.52–0.92, p < 0.001–0.02). A major finding of this study is that RT-qPCR and RT-ddPCR generated SARS-CoV-2 data that was positively correlated (ρ = 0.569, p < 0.0001) and can be successfully used to monitor SARS-CoV-2 signals across the WWTP of different sizes and metropolitan service functions without significant anomalies.

description: Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life-threatening emergency associated with the use of antipsychotic (neuroleptic) agents and characterized by a combination of symptoms, including severe muscle rigidity, hyperthermia (elevated body temperature), altered mental status, autonomic dysfunction, and elevated levels of creatine kinase (a muscle enzyme) in the blood. It is an infrequent yet life-threatening condition. The exact cause of NMS is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve an abnormal response to dopamine receptor blockade in the brain. The differential diagnosis of NMS includes other syndromes with hyperthermia as a prominent feature, fever complicating Parkinson's disease or other extrapyramidal syndromes, and lethal catatonia. The management of NMS involves a combination of supportive care, discontinuation of the offending antipsychotic medication, and pharmacologic treatment to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. Prompt recognition and management of NMS are essential to prevent potentially life-threatening complications.

description: We study mechanisms that select a subset of the vertex set of a directed graph in order to maximize the minimum indegree of any selected vertex, subject to an impartiality constraint that the selection of a particular vertex is independent of the outgoing edges of that vertex. For graphs with maximum outdegree $d$, we give a mechanism that selects at most $d+1$ vertices and only selects vertices whose indegree is at least the maximum indegree in the graph minus one. We then show that this is best possible in the sense that no impartial mechanism can only select vertices with maximum degree, even without any restriction on the number of selected vertices. We finally obtain the following trade-off between the maximum number of vertices selected and the minimum indegree of any selected vertex: when selecting at most~$k$ vertices out of $n$, it is possible to only select vertices whose indegree is at least the maximum indegree minus $\lfloor(n-2)/(k-1)\rfloor+1$.

description: In addition to being suitable for laser cooling and trapping in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) using a relatively broad ($\sim$5 MHz) transition, the molecule YO possesses a narrow-line transition. This forbidden transition between the $X^{2}Σ$ and $A'^{2}Δ_{3/2}$ states has linewidth $\sim$2$π\times$160 kHz. After cooling in a MOT on the $X^{2}Σ$ to $A^{2}Π_{1/2}$ (orange) transition, the narrow (red) transition can be used to further cool the sample, requiring only minimal additions to the first stage system. The narrow line cooling stage will bring the temperature from $\sim$1 mK to $\sim$10 $μ$K, significantly advancing the frontier on direct cooling achievable for molecules.

description: We discuss a rigorous procedure for quantifying the difference between our past lightcone and the past lightcone of the fiducial Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetime modeling the large-scale description of cosmological data in the standard $Λ\mathrm{CDM}$ scenario. This result is made possible by exploiting the scale-dependent distance functional between past lightcones recently introduced by us. We express this harmonic map type functional in terms of the physical quantities that characterize the actual measurements along our past lightcone, namely the area distance and the lensing distortion, also addressing the very delicate problem of the presence of lightcone caustics. This analysis works beautifully and seems to remove several of the difficulties encountered in comparing the actual geometry of our past lightcone with the geometry of the fiducial FLRW lightcone of choice. We also discuss how, from the point of view of the FLRW geometry, this distance functional may be interpreted as a scale-dependent effective field, the pre-homogeneity field, that may be of relevance in selecting the FLRW model that best fits the observational data.

Group Field Theory in dimension four minus epsilon

description: Building on an analogy with ordinary scalar field theories, an epsilon expansion for rank-3 tensorial group field theories with gauge invariance condition is introduced. This allows to continuously interpolate between the dimension four group SU(2) X U(1) and the dimension three SU(2). In the first situation, there is a unique marginal 4-valent coupling constant, but in contrast to ordinary scalar field theory this model is asymptotically free. In the SU(2) case, the presence of two marginally relevant 6-valent coupling constants and one 4-valent super-renormalizable interaction spoils this interesting property. However, the existence of a non-trivial fixed point is established in dimension four minus epsilon, hence suggesting that the SU(2) theory might be asymptotically safe. To pave the way to future non-perturbative calculations, the present perturbative results are discussed in the framework of the effective average action.

description: Simultaneous detection of THz emission and transient magneto-optical response is employed to study ultrafast laser-induced magnetization dynamics in multisublattice magnets NdFeCo and GdFeCo amorphous alloys with in-plane magnetic anisotropy. A satisfactory quantitative agreement between the dynamics revealed with the help of these two techniques is obtained for GdFeCo. For NdFeCo the THz emission reveals faster dynamics than the magneto-optical response. This indicates that in addition to spin dynamics of Fe ultrafast laser excitation triggers faster magnetization dynamics of Nd.

description: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and digital PCR (dPCR) methods have revolutionized environmental microbiology, yielding quantitative organism-specific data of nucleic acid targets in the environment. Such data are essential for characterizing interactions and processes of microbial communities, assessing microbial contaminants in the environment (water, air, fomites), and developing interventions (water treatment, surface disinfection, air purification) to curb infectious disease transmission. However, our review of recent qPCR and dPCR literature in our field of health-related environmental microbiology showed that many researchers are not reporting necessary and sufficient controls and methods, which would serve to strengthen their study results and conclusions. Here, we describe the application, utility, and interpretation of the suite of controls needed to make high quality qPCR and dPCR measurements of microorganisms in the environment. Our presentation is organized by the discrete steps and operations typical of this measurement process. We propose systematic terminology to minimize ambiguity and aid comparisons among studies. Example schemes for batching and combining controls for efficient work flow are demonstrated. We describe critical reporting elements for enhancing data credibility, and we provide an element checklist in the Supporting Information. Additionally, we present several key principles in metrology as context for laboratories to devise their own quality assurance and quality control reporting framework. Following the EMMI guidelines will improve comparability and reproducibility among qPCR and dPCR studies in environmental microbiology, better inform engineering and public health actions for preventing disease transmission through environmental pathways, and for the most pressing issues in the discipline, focus the weight of evidence in the direction toward solutions.

description: The pseudoscalar particles pions, kaons and the $η$-particle are considerably lighter than the other hadrons such as protons or neutrons. Their lightness was understood as a consequence of approximate chiral symmetry breaking. This led to current algebra, a way to express the relations imposed by the symmetry breaking. It was realized by Weinberg that because of their low mass, it is possible to formulate a purely pionic (effective) field theory at experimental energies, which carries all information on the (non-perturbative) dynamics, symmetries, and their spontaneous breaking of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and allows for systematic calculations of observables. In this review, we trace these developments and present recent activities in this field. We make the connection to other effective theories, more generally introduced by Wilson, as approximate field theories at low energies. Indeed, principles and paradigms introduced first for pions have become ubiquitous in particle physics and the standard model. Lastly, we turn to the latest development where the present (fundamental) standard model itself is considered as an effective field theory of a - yet to be formulated - even more fundamental theory. We also discuss important techniques that were developed in order to turn chiral perturbation theory into a predictive framework and briefly review some connections between lattice QCD and chiral perturbation theory (ChPT).

description: The long-tailed distribution is a common phenomenon in the real world. Extracted large scale image datasets inevitably demonstrate the long-tailed property and models trained with imbalanced data can obtain high performance for the over-represented categories, but struggle for the under-represented categories, leading to biased predictions and performance degradation. To address this challenge, we propose a novel de-biasing method named Inverse Image Frequency (IIF). IIF is a multiplicative margin adjustment transformation of the logits in the classification layer of a convolutional neural network. Our method achieves stronger performance than similar works and it is especially useful for downstream tasks such as long-tailed instance segmentation as it produces fewer false positive detections. Our extensive experiments show that IIF surpasses the state of the art on many long-tailed benchmarks such as ImageNet-LT, CIFAR-LT, Places-LT and LVIS, reaching 55.8% top-1 accuracy with ResNet50 on ImageNet-LT and 26.2% segmentation AP with MaskRCNN on LVIS.

description: Privately-owned drinking water wells serving fewer than 25 people (private wells) are prevalent and understudied across most of the US. Private wells primarily serve rural households located outside of municipal drinking water and sewerage service coverage areas. These wells are not regulated by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Safe Drinking Water Act, are not regularly monitored by any public agency or utility, and generally do not undergo disinfection treatment. Coliphages are a group of viruses that infect coliform bacteria and are useful viral surrogates for fecal contamination in water systems in much the same way that fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), such as E. coli and to a lesser extent total coliforms, are used to quantify fecal contamination. Coliphages are approved by the EPA for regulatory monitoring in groundwater wells in the USA, but are not routinely used for this purpose. The present study characterizes the occurrence of male-specific and somatic coliphages, along with FIB, in private wells (n = 122) across two different counties in North Carolina. While occurrences of E. coli were rare and frequency of total coliform was generally low (~20%), male-specific and somatic coliphages were detectable in 66% and 54% of samples, respectively. Concentrations of male-specific coliphages were higher than somatics at each county and on a monthly basis. Rainfall appears to be partly influencing higher coliphage concentrations in December, January and February. This research underscores the need for increased surveillance in private wells and consideration of using coliphages in order to better characterize occurrence of fecal contamination at the time of sampling, especially during rainier months.
title: The Experience of Mental-health Inpatient Service-users Who Are Prevented from Self-harming
Creators: name: Thomas, Jay
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2027

description: Background - Research and Expert by Experience (EBE) testimony has created a strong foundation for empirical research that understands self-harm as a mediator of psychological distress. However, risk-management is frequently prioritised in the approach of mental-healthcare services toward self-harm (Shaw, 2012; Morrisey, Doyle & Higgins, 2018). The research presented here builds on a small body of existing knowledge investigating the issues around the enforced prevention of self-harm which examines the question: if self-harm mediates psychological distress, then is forcibly preventing self-harm likely to have consequences that must be understood and worked around in the context of inpatient intervention. Aims - The aim of this research is to investigate the lived experience of preventive measures which limit participants’ use of self-harm whilst living in an inpatient environment. Based on the experiences of participants, the study aims to bring attention to and guide inpatient clinical staff on the drives behind an individual’s self-harm as well as the potential consequences of its prevention for service-users and staff. Methods – Seven semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals with a history of self-harm who had experienced an admission to psychiatric hospital. Reflexive Thematic Analysis was conducted on the data acquired. Findings and discussion – Participants described their understanding of how their past experiences, history of self-harm and emotional and behavioural responses to being unable to self-harm linked together to determine their experience of psychiatric admissions. Implications for practice and theory on self-harm are discussed.

description: The rapid growth in the use of software in our daily life is quite noticeable and could be observed easily. Software of every kind find their use cases in our day to day lives, whether its web apps, native platform application or even operating system and needs to be developed, deployed, maintained and distributed by a dedicated task force or operational personal that dedicate themselves to keep the systems up and running. With this increase in number of software development leads to integration in the work environments with a variety of distributed work-flows that could result into the development of software from a variety of teams that could collaborate over the code with its flavour of distributed code collaboration and deployment. We have seen a huge increase in the usage of version control, code deployment like docker and code generation and completion techniques in the recent years which could not be declined as a new era of working with the software and development environments. Whether individuals or organizations everyone is moving towards this procedure of software development. It would be incomplete without referring to the name of GitHub which could be called as the home-ground for developers where code of every domain and genre finds its place to be further collaborated with where it could be further enhanced and improved. This model of code deployment and development scales the development of software to a next level. Docker and code generation and completion techniques also play a vital role in this sector as docker on one hand provide the code with the functionality to deploy your code in an environment where its free from its environment dependencies and code completion techniques targets other genre of software development that is no code or low code. Our proposed system targets these three genre of software development providing the users with the ease of automation to reduce the rigorous task of maintaining the code and working with these environments.

description: Free-electron-based spectroscopies can reveal the nanoscale optical properties of semiconductor materials and nanophotonic devices with a spatial resolution far beyond the diffraction limit of light. However, the retrieved spatial information is constrained to the excitation space defined by the electron beam position, while information on the delocalization associated with the spatial extension of the probed optical modes in the specimen has so far been missing, despite its relevance in ruling the optical properties of nanostructures. In this study, we demonstrate a cathodoluminescence method that can access both excitation and emission spaces at the nanoscale, illustrating the power of such simultaneous excitation and emission mapping technique by revealing a sub-wavelength emission position modulation as well as by visualizing electromagnetic energy transport in nanoplasmonic systems. Besides the fundamental interest of these results, our technique grants us access into previously inaccessible nanoscale optical properties.

description: Wastewater surveillance for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has garnered extensive public attention during the coronavirus disease pandemic as a proposed complement to existing disease surveillance systems. Over the past year, methods for detection and quantifi cation of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in untreated sewage have advanced, and concentrations in wastewater have been shown to correlate with trends in reported cases. Despite the promise of wastewater surveillance, for these measurements to translate into useful public health tools, bridging the communication and knowledge gaps between researchers and public health responders is needed. We describe the key uses, barriers, and applicability of SARS-CoV-2 wastewater surveillance for supporting public health decisions and actions, including establishing ethics consideration for monitoring. Although wastewater surveillance to assess community infections is not a new idea, the coronavirus disease pandemic might be the initiating event to make this emerging public health tool a sustainable nationwide surveillance system, provided that these barriers are addressed.

description: To test the contribution of non-equilibrium quasiparticles to qubit relaxation, we have repeatedly measured the relaxation time T_1 in Al/AlOx/Al transmons with electrodes that have different superconducting gaps. In one device, the first layer electrode was formed by thermal evaporation of nominally pure Al, while the counter-electrode was formed by deposition of oxygen-doped Al, which gave a larger gap value. The relaxation time was long, but showed large fluctuations, with T_1 varying between about 100 and 300 μs at 20 mK. In other transmons, we formed the first layer electrode by deposition of oxygen-doped Al, while the counter-electrode was formed by deposition of nominally pure Al. These devices showed a similar range of large and fluctuating T_1 values, with maximum T_1 values over 200 μs. The relaxation time of the devices did not depend strongly on temperature below about 150 mK, but dropped rapidly above this due to thermally-generated quasiparticles.

description: The phenomenology of the iron pnictide superconductor can be described by the threeband s+- Eliashberg theory in which the mechanism of superconducting coupling is mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations and whose characteristic energy W0 scales with Tc according to the empirical law W0 = 4.65kBTc. This model presents the universal characteristics that are independent of the critical temperature, such as the link between the two free parameters l13 and l23 and the ratio Di/kBTc.

description: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2), a novel member of the Coronaviridae family, has been identified as the etiologic agent of an ongoing pandemic of severe pneumonia known as COVID-19. To date there have been millions of cases of COVID-19 diagnosed in 184 countries with case fatality rates ranging from 1.8% in Germany to 12.5% in Italy. Limited diagnostic testing capacity and asymptomatic and oligosymptomatic infections result in significant uncertainty in the estimated extent of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Recent reports have documented that infection with SARS-CoV-2 is accompanied by persistent shedding of virus RNA in feces in 27% to 89% of patients at densities from 0.8 to 7.5 log10 gene copies per gram. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in feces raises the potential to survey sewage for virus RNA to inform epidemiological monitoring of COVID-19, which we refer to as wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), but is also known as environmental surveillance.

description: Eating raw oysters can come with serious health risks, as oysters can potentially contain bacteria of the Vibrio genus that cause food-borne infections. Vibrio bacteria are concentrated by oysters and, when consumed, infections can result with severe symptoms such as diarrhoea, lesions on the extremities, or even death. Vibrio spp. concentrations are strongly affected by season, location, and other factors such as temperature and salinity. Previous research in North Carolina oysters has been conducted on wild and farmed oysters but not at the same time. Farmed, or aquaculture raised, oysters are considerably different from wild oysters and could possibly pose different health risks. Farmed oysters are handled, raised from seed, and often grown using suspended grow-out systems called ‘floating cages’. Therefore, farmed oysters can be grown at the surface of the estuary, while wild oysters typically grow at the bottom of the water column. This project compared the concentrations of Vibrio spp. in suspended, farm-grown oysters and wild oysters at three sites, using a paired approach with farmed and wild oysters sampled in proximity. An important part of this comparison was identifying pathogenicity of the bacteria isolated from the samples. Distinction was made between off- and on-bottom farming. Interestingly, on-bottom oysters had more pathogenic V. vulnificus than off-bottom oysters.
