description: Background: Despite the significance of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, these conditions have been under-researched from a population-level perspective. It is important to determine the economic effect of these injuries in order to document the public health burden in the United States. Purpose: To describe the cost of outpatient arthroscopic ACL reconstruction and health care utilization among commercially insured beneficiaries in the United States. Study Design: Economic and decision analysis; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The study used the Truven Health Analytics MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database, an administrative claims database that contains a large sample (approximately 148 million) of privately insured individuals aged <65 years and enrolled in employer-sponsored plans. All claims with Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 29888 (arthroscopically aided ACL reconstruction or augmentation) from 2005 to 2013 were included. “Immediate procedure” cost was computed assuming a 3-day window of care centered on date of surgery. “Total health care utilization” cost was computed using a 9-month window of care (3 months preoperative and 6 months postoperative). Results: There were 229,446 outpatient arthroscopic ACL reconstructions performed over the 9-year study period. Median immediate procedure cost was $9399.49. Median total health care utilization cost was $13,403.38. Patients who underwent concomitant collateral ligament (medial [MCL], lateral [LCL]) repair or reconstruction had the highest costs for both immediate procedure ($12,473.24) and health care utilization ($17,006.34). For patients who had more than 1 reconstruction captured in the database, total health care utilization costs were higher for the second procedure than the first procedure ($16,238.43 vs $15,000.36), despite the fact that immediate procedure costs were lower for second procedures ($8685.73 vs $9445.26). Conclusion: These results provide a foundation for understanding the public health burden of ACL injuries in the United States. Our findings suggest that further research on the prevention and treatment of ACL injuries is necessary to reduce this burden.

description: Since the volume accessible to galaxy surveys is fundamentally limited, it is extremely important to analyse available data in the most optimal fashion. One way of enhancing the cosmological information extracted from the clustering of galaxies is by weighting the galaxy field. The most widely used weighting schemes assign weights to galaxies based on the average local density in the region (FKP weights) and their bias with respect to the dark matter field (PVP weights). They are designed to minimize the fractional variance of the galaxy power-spectrum. We demonstrate that the currently used bias dependent weighting scheme can be further optimized for specific cosmological parameters. We develop a procedure for computing the optimal weights and test them against mock catalogues for which the values of all fitting parameters, as well as the input power-spectrum are known. We show that by applying these weights to the joint power-spectrum of Emission Line Galaxies and Luminous Red Galaxies from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument survey, the variance in the measured growth rate parameter can be reduced by as much as 36 per cent.

description: A new benzophenone derivative, 8′-hydroxymonomethylsulochrin (1), together with eighteen known compounds (2-19) were produced by the endophytic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus WJ-131, isolated from the stem of Gardenia jasminoides. The structure of 1 was determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallography. Under the condition of concentration of 20.0 μM, the splenic lymphocytes proliferation rates of compounds 1 and 7 induced by LPS were 39.4% and 38.1% (LPS, the splenic lymphocytes cell proliferation rates of 21.3%), and the splenic lymphocytes proliferation rate of compounds 7 induced by ConA is 44.6% (ConA, the splenic lymphocytes proliferation rates of 28.9%). Therefore, compounds 1 and 7 promoted the proliferation of ConA/LPS-stimulated splenic lymphocytes at 20.0 μM in vitro. In addition, compound 1 showed weak antibacterial activity against Fusarium oxysporum.

description: The goal of this research study was to investigate a possible correlation between bone mineral density of volleyball and water polo athletes and their dietary habits and training load, as well as to study the difference in bone mineral density of the two groups of athletes. In a total of 36 athletes were chosen who were submitted to a series of measurements: anthropometric measurements, skinfold thickness, hand dynamometer, resting metabolic rate, bone mineral density, body composition analysis and completion of a questionnaire regarding dietary habits, exercise/training, and diet logging. Following the statistical analysis, some correlations were found between bone mineral density and some dietary elements; however, no correlation was found between bone mineral density and training load nor any difference between the athletes of the two sports.

Two rate periodic protocol with dynamics driven through many cycles

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the long time dynamics in closed quantum systems periodically driven via time dependent parameters with two frequencies $ω_1$ and $ω_2=r ω_1$. Tuning of the ratio $r$ there can unleash plenty of dynamical phenomena to occur. Our study includes integrable models like Ising and XY models in $d=1$ and Kitaev model in $d=1$ and $2$ and can also be extended to Dirac fermions in graphene. We witness the wave-function overlap or dynamic freezing to occur within some small/ intermediate frequency regimes in the $(ω_1 ,r)$ plane (with $r\ne0$) when the ground state is evolved through single cycle of driving. However, evolved states soon become steady with long driving and the freezing scenario gets rarer. We extend the formalism of adiabatic-impulse approximation for many cycle driving within our two-rate protocol and show the near-exact comparisons at small frequencies. An extension of the rotating wave approximation is also developed to gather an analytical framework of the dynamics at high frequencies. Finally we compute the entanglement entropy in the stroboscopically evolved states within the gapped phases of the system and observe how it gets tuned with the ratio $r$ in our protocol. The minimally entangled states are found to fall within the regime of dynamical freezing. In general, the results indicate that the entanglement entropy in our driven short-ranged integrable systems follow genuine non-area law of scaling and show a convergence (with a $r$ dependent pace) towards volume scaling behavior as the driving is continued for long time.

description: SARS-CoV-2 has mutated rapidly since its first case report in Wuhan, China, leading to the emergence of an indefinite number of variants. India has witnessed three waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. The country saw its first wave of SARS-CoV-2 illness from late January 2020 to February 2021. With a peak surge of cases in mid-September 2020, India recorded more than 11 million cases and a death toll of more than 0.165 million at this time. India faced a brutal second wave driven by the emergence of highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.617.2 (Delta variant) and the third wave with the leading cause of BA.2 (Omicron variant), which has led to an unprecedented rise in COVID-19 cases in the country. On September 14, 2022, India recorded a cumulative 44.51 million cases of COVID-19 with more than 0.528 million deaths. The discovery of common circulating mutants is facilitated by genome sequencing. The changes in the Spike surface glycoprotein recombinant binding domains served as the critical alterations, resulting in enhanced infectivity and transmissibility, with severe clinical effects. Further, the predominant mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein; the D614G strains served as a model for vaccine development. The mutation of the Wuhan strain to the Variant of Concern led to a significant increase in SARS-CoV-2 infections. In addition, there was a shift in the age group affected by SARS-CoV-2 variant infection. The current review summarized the COVID-19 pandemic's Variant of Concern and the advent of SARS-CoV-2 in India.

description: Last complete novel completed by Charles Dickens and is one of his most sophisticated works, combining savage satire with social analysis. In the opening chapters a body is found in the Thames and identified as that of John Harmon, a young man recently returned to London to receive his inheritance. Were he alive, his father's will would require him to marry Bella Wilfer, a beautiful, mercenary girl whom he had never met. Instead, the money passes to the working-class Boffins, and the effects spread into various corners of London society. Issued monthly from May 1864 to November 1865 in illustrated green paper covers. Chapters 1-4: Chapter 1. On the look out -- Chapter 2. The man from somewhere -- Chapter 3. Another man -- Chapter 4. The R. Wilfer family

The same argument also proves hard Lefschetz for Chow groups of Hilbert schemes of abelian surfaces. As a consequence, we obtain new information about certain pieces of the Chow groups of generalized Kummer varieties, and Hilbert schemes of abelian surfaces. The proofs are based on work of Shen-Vial and Fu-Tian-Vial on multiplicative Chow-Künneth decompositions.

description: Exotic topological states of matter such as Floquet topological insulator or Floquet Weyl semimetal can be induced by periodic driving. This work proposes a Floquet semimetal with Floquet-band holonomy. That is, the system is gapless, but as a periodic parameter viewed as quasimomentum of a synthetic dimension completes an adiabatic cycle, each Floquet band as a whole exchanges with other Floquet bands. The dynamical manifestations of such Floquet-band holonomy are studied. Under open boundary conditions, we discover anomalous chiral edge modes localized only at one edge, winding around the entire quasienergy Brillouin zone, well separated from bulk states, and possessing holonomy different from bulk states. These remarkable properties are further exploited to realize quantized or half-quantized edge state pumping.

description: There has been rapidly growing interest in hybrid quantum devices involving a solid-state spin and a macroscopic mechanical oscillator. Such hybrid devices create exciting opportunities to mediate interactions between disparate qubits and to explore the quantum regime of macroscopic mechanical objects. In particular, a system consisting of the nitrogen-vacancy defect center in diamond coupled to a high quality factor mechanical oscillator is an appealing candidate for such a hybrid quantum device, as it utilizes the highly coherent and versatile spin properties of the defect center. In this paper, we will review recent experimental progress on diamond-based hybrid quantum devices in which the spin and orbital dynamics of single defects are driven by the motion of a mechanical oscillator. In addition, we discuss prospective applications for this device, including long range, phonon-mediated spin-spin interactions, and phonon cooling in the quantum regime. We conclude the review by evaluating the experimental limitations of current devices and identifying alternative device architectures that may reach the strong coupling regime.

description: Real systems are usually composed by units or nodes whose activity can be interrupted and restored intermittently due to complex interactions not only with the environment, but also with the same system. Majdandžić $et\;al.$ [Nature Physics 10, 34 (2014)] proposed a model to study systems in which active nodes fail and recover spontaneously in a complex network and found that in the steady state the density of active nodes can exhibit an abrupt transition and hysteresis depending on the values of the parameters. Here we investigate a model of recovery-failure from a dynamical point of view. Using an effective degree approach we find that the systems can exhibit a temporal sharp decrease in the fraction of active nodes. Moreover we show that, depending on the values of the parameters, the fraction of active nodes has an oscillatory regime which we explain as a competition between different failure processes. We also find that in the non-oscillatory regime, the critical fraction of active nodes presents a discontinuous drop which can be related to a "targeted" k-core percolation process. Finally, using mean field equations we analyze the space of parameters at which hysteresis and oscillatory regimes can be found.

Clinical presentation and workup including visual fields, electroretinogram, and optical coherence tomography are presented. Genetic testing was performed. An eight-year-old female with nephropathy requiring renal transplantation subsequently developed progressive cone-rod dystrophy and optic atrophy. The patient had negative results on a targeted next-generation sequencing retinal dystrophy panel but whole-exome sequencing revealed two variants in COQ2 (likely biallelic), consistent with a diagnosis of primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency. Primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency is a rare disorder with variable systemic and ocular findings; there is also genetic heterogeneity. Genetic testing aids in the diagnosis of this condition, and variants in the COQ2 and PDSS1 genes appear to have the strongest association with ocular manifestations. Oral supplementation of coenzyme Q10 may slow progression of disease. This case highlights the utility of whole-exome sequencing in the diagnosis of a rare syndromic form of ocular disease and reports a novel phenotypic association for this condition.

description: The numerical evaluation of coherent-state path-integral representations for partition functions and other quantities in equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics is discussed. Several coherent-state path-integral schemes are introduced, which differ from each other by the order of approximation and by the operator ordering employed in the high-temperature approximation of the density operator. Simple one-dimensional systems are used to test these schemes. For the harmonic oscillator, finite-dimensional approximations to the coherent-state path integral are calculated analytically and compared to each other and to the real-space path integral. For anharmonic systems, integrations must be approximated by quadrature formulas. This leads to a matrix multiplication scheme which is tested for the double-well potential. The results obtained are accurate from zero temperature way up into the high-temperature regime where quantum effects become negligible. This is a significant advantage over traditional real-space path integral schemes which break down at low temperatures.

description: Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) is a key regulatory enzyme in the de novo synthesis of the purine base guanine. Mutations in the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 1 gene (IMPDH1) are causative for RP10 autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP). This study reports a novel variant in a family with IMPDH1-associated retinopathy. We also performed a comprehensive review of all reported IMPDH1 disease causing variants with their associated phenotype. Multimodal imaging and functional studies documented the phenotype including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), fundus photograph, fundus autofluorescence (FAF), full field electroretinogram (ffERG), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field (VF) data were collected. A literature search was performed in the PubMed and LOVD repositories. We report 3 cases from a 2-generation family with a novel heterozygous likely pathogenic variant p. (Lys314Gln) (exon 10). The ophthalmic phenotype showed diffuse outer retinal atrophy with mild pigmentary changes with sparse pigmentary changes. FAF showed early macular involvement with macular hyperautofluorescence (hyperAF) surrounded by hypoAF. Foveal ellipsoid zone island can be found in the youngest patient but not in the older ones. The literature review identified a further 56 heterozygous, 1 compound heterozygous, and 2 homozygous variant. The heterozygous group included 43 missense, 3 in-frame, 1 nonsense, 2 frameshift, 1 synonymous, and 6 intronic variants. Exon 10 was noted as a hotspot harboring 18 variants. We report a novel IMPDH1 variant. IMPDH1-associated retinopathy presents most frequently in the first decade of life with early macular involvement.

description: In der vorliegenden Dissertationsarbeit wurden drei neue Platin-katalysierte C-C- bzw. C-O-Verknüpfungsreaktionen entwickelt. Hierbei konnten die von Platinverbindungen bzw. kationischen Platinkomplexen bekannten Eigenschaften gezielt umgesetzt werden und führten bei folgenden Reaktionen zum Erfolg: (1) Allylierung von Aldehyden und Acetalen mit Allyldimethylchlorsilan (2) Katalytische FRIEDEL-CRAFTS-Acylierung (3) Furansynthesen (1) PtCl2, Silber(I)-triflat und Quecksilber(II)-triflouracetat (1-5 mol%) katalysieren die Addition von Allyldimethylchlorsilan an Aldehyde und Acetale. Die Allylierungsreaktion weist eine hohe Selektivität gegenüber Aldehyden auf; Ketone, Ester, Alkene, Arylhalogenide, Ether und Nitro-Gruppen werden toleriert. Die entsprechenden Homoallylalkohole können in guten bis sehr guten Ausbeuten (bis 95 %) isoliert werden. Die Addition substituierter Allyldimethylchlorsilane an Aldehyde erfolgt mit guter bis exzellenter Diastereoselektivität. Ein Mechanismus wird vorgeschlagen, bei dem der Katalysator mit dem Chloratom des Allylsilans wechselwirkt. (2) Kationische Komplexe von Platin(II) und weiterer später Übergangsmetalle katalysieren die Friedel-Crafts-Acylierung mäßig bis stark aktivierter Aromaten mit Carbonsäureanhydriden. Mittels ESI-MS, IR und NMR konnten Aussagen über die katalytisch relevanten Spezies im Falle der Katalysatorkombination (PhCN)2PtCl2/2AgSbF6 als auch über deren Wechselwirkung mit den Substraten gemacht werden. (3) Mit Hilfe kationischer Platinkomplexe gelingt die Synthese von Furanen aus Gamma-Delta-Alkinonen, die in Nachbarschaft zur Ketofunktion eine elektronenziehende Gruppe (Ester, Sulfon) besitzen müssen. Durch die Wahl des Gegenions lässt sich gezielt entweder die Synthese des Furans oder eines Cyclohexenonderivats beeinflussen.

description: We investigate the interplay between moduli dynamics and inflation, focusing on the KKLT-scenario and cosmological $α$-attractors. General couplings between these sectors can induce a significant backreaction and potentially destroy the inflationary regime; however, we demonstrate that this generically does not happen for $α$-attractors. Depending on the details of the superpotential, the volume modulus can either be stable during the entire inflationary trajectory, or become tachyonic at some point and act as a waterfall field, resulting in a sudden end of inflation. In the latter case there is a universal supersymmetric minimum where the scalars end up, preventing the decompactification scenario. The gravitino mass is independent from the inflationary scale with no fine-tuning of the parameters. The observational predictions conform to the universal value of attractors, fully compatible with the Planck data, with possibly a capped number of e-folds due to the interplay with moduli.

description: Σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη της αλληλέγγυας ευθύνης των διοικούντων νομικά πρόσωπα για φορολογικές υποχρεώσεις. Παρουσιάστηκε αναλυτικά το νομικό καθεστώς της αλληλέγγυας ευθύνης των διοικούντων νομικά πρόσωπα για φορολογικές υποχρεώσεις, όπως αυτό ίσχυε με τις ρυθμίσεις του παλαιού Κ.Φ.Ε. (ν. 2238/1994), αλλά και με τη νεότερη ρύθμιση του νέου Κ.Φ.Δ. (ν. 4174/2013), τόσο πριν όσο και μετά την τροποποίηση με τον ν. 4646/2019. Αναλύθηκε η νομική φύση της αλληλέγγυας αυτής ευθύνης και εξετάστηκαν επιμέρους ζητήματα που έχουν προκύψει κατά την εφαρμογή των σχετικών διατάξεων, όπως και άλλες έννομες συνέπειες της συνυπευθυνότητας. Τέλος, ιδιαίτερη αναφορά έγινε στο ακανθώδες ζήτημα της έννομης προστασίας του αλληλεγγύως ευθυνόμενου, όπως αυτό διαμορφώθηκε μέσα από τις τροποποιήσεις του νομικού καθεστώτος, με επισκόπηση της σχετικής νομολογίας.
description: The aim of the thesis was the study of the joint and several liability of the legal representatives of legal entities for tax obligations. The legal status of the joint and several liability of the legal representatives of legal entities for tax obligations was presented in detail, as was the case with the regulations of the former Code of income tax (law 2238/1994), but also with the newest regulation of the new Code of tax procedure (law 4174/2013), both before and after the amendment by law 4646/2019. The status in law of this joint responsibility was analyzed, and individual issues that have arisen during the implementation of the relevant provisions were examined, as well as other legal consequences of joint responsibility. Finally, special reference was made to the thorny issue of the legal protection of the jointly and severally liable, as it was shaped through the amendments of the legal regime, with an overview of the relevant jurisprudence.

description: Purpose: Few studies have evaluated the degree to which prescription drug initiators are correctly identified using claims data. We examine the prevalence and predictors of recent statin possession in statin initiators identified using claims data. Methods: Among Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) respondents, we used Medicare Part D claims from 2006 to 2011 to identify statin initiators using a 12-month baseline period of no prior statin claims. Using MCBS interview data, we identified those with self-reported statins obtained during the baseline period. We used log-binomial regression to estimate adjusted prevalence ratios (adjPR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for predictors of recent statin possession. Results: Among 766 statin initiators identified in prescription claims, 155 (20%) reported recent statin possession during baseline. Beneficiaries with no Part D claims in the past 30 days (adjPR = 1.49, 95%CI: 1.13, 1.96), those with no inpatient, outpatient or physician visits in the past 30 days (adjPR = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.11, 2.03), those with a brand name statin index claim (adjPR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.19, 2.02), and those with an index claim in January or February (adjPR = 1.50, 95%CI: 1.00, 2.26) had an increased probability of recent statin possession. Conclusions: In a cohort of statin initiators identified using prescription claims, 20% had evidence of statin possession during the baseline period. Pharmacoepidemiologic new user studies may benefit from including sensitivity analyses within subgroups less likely to include prevalent users to assess the robustness of key findings to misidentification of the time of treatment initiation.

description: In this work, we theoretically study the quantum correlations present in an optomechanical system by invoking an additional cross-Kerr coupling between the optical and mechanical mode. Under experimentally achievable conditions, we first show that a significant enhancement of the steady-state entanglement could be achieved at a considerably lower driving power, which is also extremely robust with respect to system parameters and environmental temperature. Then, we employ Gaussian quantum discord as a witness of the genuine quantumness of the correlation present in the system and discuss its dependence on the cross-Kerr nonlinearity.

description: The hybridization-controlled ligation of oligonucleotides is one of the fundamental approaches that is utilized in diagnostic assays such as the oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA). The fidelity of this strategy is dependent on the sequence selectivity of the nucleic acid hybridization. The DNA-analogue peptide nucleic acid (PNA) exhibits a remarkable high binding affinity and specificity to complementary nucleic acids, making it an attractive tool for gene targeting applications. PNA is an artificial base-pairing system and biochemical tools such as ligases are do not recognize PNA as a substrate. Therefore, PNA-based ligations have to rely solely on chemical methods. For the PNA-based ligation assay for detection of single base mutations, we fashioned an approach in homogeneous solution, in which one nucleobase remains unpaired by forming an abasic site upon ligation thereby increasing the ligation fidelity. Of unique particular interest in diagnostic applications are assay systems allowing for a multiplexed detection of diagnostic events. Mass-spectrometrical detection offers unparalleled resolution and is therefore ideally suited for multiplex detection. In contrast to DNA, PNA exhibits an incomparable suitability for MALDI-TOF/MS analysis in terms of molecular weight resolution and accuracy. The efficiency of the abasic site ligation was successfully tested in a triplex competition experiment, investigating three potential mutations (G12V, F28L, E63H) in the ras gene segment. It can be concluded that the mass-spectrometrical analysis of the abasic site ligation serves as a highly specific means for the detection of single base mutations even in a competitive multiplex format.
