description: Objectives: Secondary analysis of clinical trial data suggests visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of blood pressure is strongly associated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease. Measurement of blood pressure in usual practice settings may be subject to substantial error, calling into question the value of VVV in real-world settings.

Methods: We analyzed data on adults of at least 65 years of age with diagnosed hypertension who were taking antihypertensive medication from the Cohort Study of Medication Adherence among Older Adults (n = 772 with 14 or more blood pressure measurements). All blood pressure measurements, taken as part of routine outpatient care over a median of 2.8 years, were abstracted from patients’ medical charts.

Results: Using each participant's first seven SBP measurements, the mean intraindividual standard deviation was 13.5 mmHg. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the standard deviation based on the first seven and second seven SBP measurements was 0.28 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.20–0.34]. Individuals in the highest quintile of standard deviation of SBP based on their first seven measurements were more likely to be in the highest quintile of VVV using their second seven measurements (observed/expected ratio = 1.71, 95% CI 1.29–2.22). Results were similar for other metrics of VVV. The intraclass correlation coefficient was lower for DBP than SBP.

Conclusion: These data suggest VVV of SBP measured in a real-world setting is not random. Future studies are needed to assess the prognostic value of VVV of SBP assessed in routine clinical practice.visit-to-visit variability

description: Background: Soils are widely recognized as a non-renewable natural resource and as biophysical carbon sinks. As such, there is a growing requirement for global soil information. Although several global soil information systems already exist, these tend to suffer from inconsistencies and limited spatial detail. Methodology/Principal Findings: We present SoilGrids1km — a global 3D soil information system at 1 km resolution — containing spatial predictions for a selection of soil properties (at six standard depths): soil organic carbon (g kg−1), soil pH, sand, silt and clay fractions (%), bulk density (kg m−3), cation-exchange capacity (cmol+/kg), coarse fragments (%), soil organic carbon stock (t ha−1), depth to bedrock (cm), World Reference Base soil groups, and USDA Soil Taxonomy suborders. Our predictions are based on global spatial prediction models which we fitted, per soil variable, using a compilation of major international soil profile databases (ca. 110,000 soil profiles), and a selection of ca. 75 global environmental covariates representing soil forming factors. Results of regression modeling indicate that the most useful covariates for modeling soils at the global scale are climatic and biomass indices (based on MODIS images), lithology, and taxonomic mapping units derived from conventional soil survey (Harmonized World Soil Database). Prediction accuracies assessed using 5–fold cross-validation were between 23–51%. Conclusions/Significance: SoilGrids1km provide an initial set of examples of soil spatial data for input into global models at a resolution and consistency not previously available. Some of the main limitations of the current version of SoilGrids1km are: (1) weak relationships between soil properties/classes and explanatory variables due to scale mismatches, (2) difficulty to obtain covariates that capture soil forming factors, (3) low sampling density and spatial clustering of soil profile locations. However, as the SoilGrids system is highly automated and flexible, increasingly accurate predictions can be generated as new input data become available.

description: We have carried out first-principles based DFT calculation on electronic properties of silicene monolayer on various (111) semi-conducting surfaces. We find that the relative stability and other properties of the silicene overlayer depends sensitively on whether the interacting top layer of the substrate is metal or non-metal terminated. The nature of silicene-monolayer on the metal termi- nated surface can be metallic or even magnetic, depending upon the choice of the substrate. The silicene overlayer undergoes n-type doping on metal terminated surface while it undergoes p-type doping on non metal terminated surfaces of the semiconductor substrates.

description: Background: The persistence of depressive symptoms after hospitalization is a strong risk factor for mortality after acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Poor adherence to secondary prevention behaviors may be a mediator of the relationship between depression and increased mortality.

Objective: To determine whether rates of adherence to risk reducing behaviors were affected by depressive status during hospitalization and 3 months later.

Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

Setting: Three university hospitals.

Participants: Five hundred and sixty patients were enrolled within 7 days after ACS. Of these, 492 (88%) patients completed 3-month follow-up.

Measurements: We used the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to assess depressive symptoms in the hospital and 3 months after discharge. We assessed adherence to 5 risk-reducing behaviors by patient self-report at 3 months. We used χ2 analysis to compare differences in adherence among 3 groups: persistently nondepressed (BDI<10 at hospitalization and 3 months); remittent depressed (BDI ≥10 at hospitalization; <10 at 3 months); and persistently depressed patients (BDI ≥10 at hospitalization and 3 months).

Results: Compared with persistently nondepressed, persistently depressed patients reported lower rates of adherence to quitting smoking (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.23, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.05 to 0.97), taking medications (adjusted OR 0.50, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.95), exercising (adjusted OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.95), and attending cardiac rehabilitation (adjusted OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.91). There were no significant differences between remittent depressed and persistently nondepressed patients.

Conclusions: Persistently depressed patients were less likely to adhere to behaviors that reduce the risk of recurrent ACS. Differences in adherence to these behaviors may explain in part why depression predicts mortality after ACS.

description: It is estimated that 2.4 million individuals are incarcerated in federal, state, and county prisons and jails in the United States, the largest number seen in the developed world (Flatow, 2014). In addition, there are an estimated 4.75 million, or 1 in 51, adults under community supervision in the United States (Herberman & Bonczar, 2014). This includes individuals on probation, parole, and other forms of post-prison supervision. There are issues with the mass incarceration system in the United States that extend beyond the sheer number of individuals incarcerated. For instance, people of color make up 30% of the population but 60% of those imprisoned (Kerby, 2012). For the about 850,000 on parole, many face struggles adapting to society and attaining basic needs such as health care, housing, and employment. These factors, among many others, lead these individuals to violate parole and become re-imprisoned, creating a cycle of perpetual contact with the legal system. The Parole Revocation Defense Unit at the Legal Aid Society provides services for those who have had their parole revoked or face parole revocation. Social workers work together with lawyers to provide comprehensive plans to reduce sentences and recommend alternatives to incarceration. One tool, known to be powerful within PRDU at the Legal Aid Society, is written mitigation, a process used to advocate for and provide holistic presentations of clients. This paper evaluates the benefits of written mitigation by looking at the sentencing for 20 cases before and after written mitigation. The findings show that written mitigation was helpful in reducing sentences and resulting in alternatives to incarceration with statistical significance. This information learned contributes to the larger discussion of the relevance of social workers in legal settings to provide holistic services and broader conversations of criminal justice reform and elimination of institutions that produce outcomes that do more harm than good.

description: We examine a new path transform on 1-dimensional simple random walks and Brownian motion, the quantile transform. This transformation relates to identities in fluctuation theory due to Wendel, Port, Dassios and others, and to discrete and Brownian versions of Tanaka's formula. For an n-step random walk, the quantile transform reorders increments according to the value of the walk at the start of each increment. We describe the distribution of the quantile transform of a simple random walk of n steps, using a bijection to characterize the number of pre-images of each possible transformed path. We deduce, both for simple random walks and for Brownian motion, that the quantile transform has the same distribution as Vervaat's transform. For Brownian motion, the quantile transforms of the embedded simple random walks converge to a time change of the local time profile. We characterize the distribution of the local time profile, giving rise to an identity that generalizes a variant of Jeulin's description of the local time profile of a Brownian bridge or excursion.

description: The present status of the coupled-channel inverse-scattering method with supersymmetric transformations is reviewed. We first revisit in a pedagogical way the single-channel case, where the supersymmetric approach is shown to provide a complete solution to the inverse-scattering problem. A special emphasis is put on the differences between conservative and non-conservative transformations. In particular, we show that for the zero initial potential, a non-conservative transformation is always equivalent to a pair of conservative transformations. These single-channel results are illustrated on the inversion of the neutron-proton triplet eigenphase shifts for the S and D waves. We then summarize and extend our previous works on the coupled-channel case and stress remaining difficulties and open questions. We mostly concentrate on two-channel examples to illustrate general principles while keeping mathematics as simple as possible. In particular, we discuss the difference between the equal-threshold and different-threshold problems. For equal thresholds, conservative transformations can provide non-diagonal Jost and scattering matrices. Iterations of such transformations are shown to lead to practical algorithms for inversion. A convenient technique where the mixing parameter is fitted independently of the eigenphases is developed with iterations of pairs of conjugate transformations and applied to the neutron-proton triplet S-D scattering matrix, for which exactly-solvable matrix potential models are constructed. For different thresholds, conservative transformations do not seem to be able to provide a non-trivial coupling between channels. In contrast, a single non-conservative transformation can generate coupled-channel potentials starting from the zero potential and is a promising first step towards a full solution to the coupled-channel inverse problem with threshold differences.

description: We investigate the microwave characteristics of a spin transfer nano-oscillator (STNO) based on coupled vortices as a function of the perpendicular magnetic field $H_\perp$. While the generation linewidth displays strong variations on $H_\perp$ (from 40 kHz to 1 MHz), the frequency tunability in current remains almost constant (~7 MHz/mA). We demonstrate that our vortex-based oscillator is quasi-isochronous independently of $H_\perp$, so that the severe nonlinear broadening usually observed in STNOs does not exist. Interestingly, this does not imply a loss of frequency tunability, which is here governed by the current induced Oersted field. Nevertheless this is not sufficient to achieve the highest spectral purity in the full range of $H_\perp$ either: we show that the observed linewidth broadenings are due to the excited mode interacting with a lower energy overdamped mode, which occurs at the successive crossings between harmonics of these two modes. These findings open new possibilities for the design of STNOs and the optimization of their performance.

description: Homelessness continues to be a persistent and highly visible public health issue in New York City. New York/New York III, the current initiative that aims to expand supportive housing services for New York City’s chronically homeless mentally ill population, will expire in June 2016. In the context of shifting policies reflecting the growing popularity of the Housing First model, the authors of this paper call attention to the unique needs of the severely and persistently mentally ill (SPMI) homeless population. The authors propose that the current and future states of homelessness initiatives are inadequate in their levels of funding, coordination, and regulation, thereby negatively affecting New York City’s most vulnerable residents. Drawing on evidence from the literature, we compare the Housing First and traditional housing readiness models in New York City, the latter of which has become increasingly controversial in recent years. The authors provide suggestions for bridging the current gaps in research, policy, and practice in hopes of increasing accessibility and prioritizing housing for this population.

description: Neoliberal education reform has resulted in a growing number of charter schools across the country, many of which are concentrated in low-income communities of color (Kahlenberg & Potter, 2014). Charter schools serving these demographics often practice a “no excuses” pedagogy featuring two components: (1) universal, precise behavioral expectations and (2) systematic rewards for compliance and penalties for disobedience (Golan, 2015; Goodman, 2013; Whitman, 2008). This article examines overlooked consequences of the “no excuses” model by presenting a narrative inquiry involving 3 social workers from charter schools in Harlem, New York. Individual, semi-structured interviews were conducted about professional background, roles and responsibilities, the school community, and the political context of charter schools. The collective narrative that emerged from this framework describes how participants have met their concern that a “no excuses” model creates traumatic or unsupportive environments for marginalized students with evidence-based advocacy. This article serves to foster the community of charter school social workers who wish to critique the “no excuses” model within their schools and on a broader scale.

description: Research has historically dismissed the prevalence of eating disorders in people with disabilities, yet studies and clinical observations suggest that individuals with physical disabilities are at increased risk for developing eating disorders. Due to this discrepancy, there is little awareness of how to treat eating disorders among this population. Self-understanding is a key component in treating both individuals with physical disabilities and individuals with eating disorders. With this finding, this article seeks to demonstrate that music therapy is an effective treatment option for those with both an eating disorder and a physical disability due to its focus on self-understanding.

description: We hypothesized that, in patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who recover basic language function, speech-evoked blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI) responses within the canonical language network increase over the first 6 months post-injury. We conducted a prospective, longitudinal fMRI pilot study of adults with acute severe TBI admitted to the intensive care unit. We also enrolled age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. We evaluated BOLD signal in bilateral superior temporal gyrus (STG) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) regions of interest acutely and approximately 6 months post-injury. Given evidence that regions outside the canonical language network contribute to language processing, we also performed exploratory whole-brain analyses. Of the 16 patients enrolled, eight returned for follow-up fMRI, all of whom recovered basic language function. We observed speech-evoked longitudinal BOLD increases in the left STG, but not in the right STG, right IFG, or left IFG. Whole-brain analysis revealed increases in the right supramarginal and middle temporal gyri but no differences between patients and healthy subjects (n = 16). This pilot study suggests that, in patients with severe TBI who recover language function, speech-evoked responses in bihemispheric language-processing cortex reemerge by 6 months post-injury.

description: We present two years of faced challenges and success stories of collaboration with researchers from the Biostatistics department at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Research software engineering is a relatively new career field, and the structure, responsibilities, evaluation metrics, and collaboration boundaries are not firmly defined. All of these can build unreasonable expectations and can negatively affect both researchers and RSEs. The best practices and faced challenges discussed here can be an excellent heuristic for the current RSEs to improve productivity and give a better picture for the potential RSEs on what to expect. We discuss the followed software engineering best practices and learned lessons, including unit testing, functional testing, Continues Integration, documentation for users and developers, containerizing development environment, and practical use of version control systems. We also discuss requirements for addressing different types of projects based on the maturity of the research (completed, in progress, not started). Efficient communication is an essential part of the collaboration, which can include a broad spectrum of researchers (from undergraduate students to a well-established PI). We discuss the best practices for communication and how provide tips on how to prepare good documentation and test cases. Our two years' experience shows how taking care of small, yet important details can help researchers and RSEs in building sustainable and better scientific software.

We investigate how the method performs on full 6D mock stream data, and mock data with outliers included. As currently formulated the technique is computationally costly when applied to data with large observational errors, but we describe several modifications that promise to make the technique computationally tractable.

description: We study the homotopy theory of a certain type of diagram categories whose vertices are in variable categories with a functorial path, leading to a good calculation of the homotopy category in terms of cofibrant objects. The theory is applied to the category of mixed Hodge diagrams of differential graded algebras. Using Sullivan's minimal models, we prove a multiplicative version of Beilinson's Theorem on mixed Hodge complexes. As a consequence, we obtain functoriality for the mixed Hodge structures on the rational homotopy type of complex algebraic varieties. In this context, the mixed Hodge structures on homotopy groups obtained by Morgan's theory follow from the derived functor of the indecomposables of mixed Hodge diagrams.

description: Community Development Agreements (CDAs) have the potential to facilitate the delivery of tangible benefits from large-scale investment projects, such as mines or forestry concessions, to affected persons and communities. To be effective, however, CDAs must be adapted to the local context, meaning that no single model agreement or process will be appropriate in every situation. Nonetheless, leading practices are emerging which can be required by governments, voluntarily adopted by companies, and demanded by communities. These practices are grounded in ensuring that all parties are sufficiently informed, capacitated, and prepared to engage in meaningful negotiations regarding how the investor’s operations should benefit local stakeholders. This article reviews existing research on CDAs, as well as available agreements from the extractive sector in Australia, Canada, Laos, Papua New Guinea, Ghana and Greenland. It articulates seven broad leading practices and how different stakeholders could work to achieve more effective agreements.

We show that, for example, for a countable ${\mathbb X}$, the poset $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}), \subset \rangle $ is either isomorphic to a finite power of ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb Y})$ or forcing equivalent to a separative atomless $σ$-closed poset and, consistently, to $P(ω)/$Fin. In particular, this holds for each ultrahomogeneous structure ${\mathbb X}$ such that ${\mathbb X}$ or ${\mathbb X} ^c$ is a disconnected structure and in this case ${\mathbb Y}$ can be replaced by an ultrahomogeneous connected digraph.

title: Mid-career academic women in higher education in China: barriers and strategies
Creators: name: Zhao, Jiayi
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Women’s employment rates in China are amongst the highest in the world; however, only a relatively small proportion of these women ever rise to senior leadership positions (Attane, 2012). A similar pattern can be seen in higher education (HE). Although nowadays women serve as president and senior managers at universities and many women have engaged management roles, relatively few make a break through the so-called ‘glass ceiling’ into senior leadership (Sheng, 2009). From past decades, China has gone through radical social change and scholars have begun to draw attention to female leadership in the Chinese context, but there is limited research on women and leadership in HE. Therefore, this research seeks to examine the career paths, experiences and aspirations of women in mid-career academic roles, since that is a career stage where the ‘glass ceiling’ appears to present a barrier to further career progression. Underpinning this study is an analytical framework which incorporates four main themes, which are the gender theory, women and leadership theory, the research economy, and the concept of career capital. Following a sequential mixed methods design, both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed, beginning with an online questionnaire with a sample of 391 mid-career academic women working in Chinese higher education. This was followed by semistructured interviews with 16 women. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and multivariate statistics in SPSS. Qualitative data were analysed thematically and triangulated with the quantitative results. This research has analysed the internal and external barriers and difficulties that present to their progression to senior leadership positions in higher education. The findings suggest that the major barriers in mid-career academic women’s promotion in China were the pressures from promotion requirements, especially the requirement for publications. This research provides a critique of the way that academic success has become increasingly tied to metrics and indicators. The findings contribute to the field of women’s educational leadership studies. The findings have important implications for education policy makers and university leaders.

Not Only ‘Context’: Why Transitional Justice Programs Can No Longer IgnoreViolations of Economic and Social Rights

subject: FOS: Sociology

description: Transitional justice programs traditionally focused on breaches of civil and political rights and violations of bodily integrity, largely ignoring violations of economic and social rights (ESRs) and relegating socioeconomic issues to the category of ‘background’ or context. This approach is becoming increasingly untenable given that ESRs articulate binding and increasingly justiciable legal obligations. Considering past ESR violations can also provide crucial insight into the causes of past conflict, and addressing socioeconomic grievances can help to reduce the chances of future rights violations or civil unrest. This Article sets out when transitional justice ought concern itself with breaches of ESRs using the ‘respect, protect, fulfill’ framework of state obligations. Drawing on past examples, the Article argues that failures to respect and protect ESRs are usually discrete enough to be included in the mandates of truth commissions, reparations schemes, and, in some cases, criminal prosecutions. Decentralization programs and the vetting of corrupt economic actors can also effectively address past ESR violations and lead to socioeconomic improvements. Addressing state failures to fulfill ESRs is a more complicated question, although there are occasions where such violations should be included in transitional justice mandates. Ultimately, transitional justice can no longer ignore that ESRs articulate non-negotiable and clearly defined standards, which often hold the key to stable and sustainable political transitions.
Actions, angles and frequencies for numerically integrated orbits

description: We present a method for extracting actions, angles and frequencies from an orbit's time series. The method recovers the generating function that maps an analytic phase-space torus to the torus to which the orbit is confined by simultaneously solving the constraints provided by each time step. We test the method by recovering the actions and frequencies of a triaxial Stäckel potential, and use it to investigate the structure of orbits in a triaxial potential that has been fitted to our Galaxy's Sagittarius stream. The method promises to be useful for analysing N-body simulations. It also takes a step towards constructing distribution functions for the triaxial components of our Galaxy, such as the bar and dark halo.

description: Introduction:There is limited evidence investigating the effect of vestibular/oculomotor rehabilitation programs in children and adolescents post moderate-severe TBI at the sub-acute stage. Objective:To describe the development of a treatment protocol for vestibular/oculomotor interventions in this population, and to assess the inter-rater agreement of this protocol as an initial step of a clinical trial. Method:The protocol was developed by 10 health professionals, address the high variability of balance performance, the high prevalence of vestibular/oculomotor abnormalities and the low prevalence of symptoms reported in this population. Results:The protocol enables the clinician to use the assessment during the treatment exercise selection. The training position was defined by the Pediatric Balance Scale. Vestibular/oculomotor exercises were selected using a quantified version of the Vestibular/Ocular Motor Screening. The exercise protocol was selected based on impairment in function or reproduction of symptoms. The protocol planning was implemented by two assessors in 27 children and adolescents post-moderate-severe TBI (median age 14.1 [6–18.4] years) in the sub-acute stage (median 40 [14–162] days since injury). Very high agreement was found (k > 0.72) in all the parameters. Conclusion: This protocol could reliably be used in a randomized control trial that assesses the effect of vestibular/oculomotor rehabilitation program in children and adolescents post moderate-severe TBI at the sub-acute stage.
Legal Transitions and the Problem of Reliance

description: This Article analyzes the literature on legal transitions. The principal focus is taxation, but the analysis generalizes to other areas. I argue that the theoretical apparatus developed by scholars active in the legal transitions area suffers from significant conceptual shortcomings. These shortcomings include the unwarranted assimilation of legal to factual change, the naturalization of conventional arrangements, and the disregard of the distinction between making law and finding it. As a consequence, the recent literature offers an analysis that is unable either to explain actual transitions or to provide an adequate theory of how legal change should take place. In the end, the older view of legal transitions is more capable than the newer one of providing an adequate normative and positive framework for understanding legal transitions.

description: This paper introduces the Hamiltonian-Adaptive Ternary Tree (HATT) framework to compile optimized Fermion-to-qubit mapping for specific Fermionic Hamiltonians. In the simulation of Fermionic quantum systems, efficient Fermion-to-qubit mapping plays a critical role in transforming the Fermionic system into a qubit system. HATT utilizes ternary tree mapping and a bottom-up construction procedure to generate Hamiltonian aware Fermion-to-qubit mapping to reduce the Pauli weight of the qubit Hamiltonian, resulting in lower quantum simulation circuit overhead. Additionally, our optimizations retain the important vacuum state preservation property in our Fermion-to-qubit mapping and reduce the complexity of our algorithm from $O(N^4)$ to $O(N^3)$. Evaluations and simulations of various Fermionic systems demonstrate $5\sim20\%$ reduction in Pauli weight, gate count, and circuit depth, alongside excellent scalability to larger systems. Experiments on the Ionq quantum computer also show the advantages of our approach in noise resistance in quantum simulations.
