description: Abstract Background Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) provides vital information for decision-making and its structures, systems and processes are expected to be integrated throughout the life-cycle of public health programs. The acquisition of these skills should be developed in a structured manner and needs educational systems to identify core competencies in M&E teaching. This article presents our work on harmonizing M&E competencies for Masters level programs in the South Asian context and undertaking the global review of M&E track/ concentration offered in various Masters of Public Health (MPH) programs. Methods Through an online search and snow-balling, we mapped institutions offering M&E tracks/ concentrations in Masters of Public Health (MPH) programs globally. We obtained detailed information about their M&E curriculum from university websites and brochures. The data on curricular contents was extracted and compiled. We analyzed the curricular contents using the framework for core competencies developed by the Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH); and the Miller’s triangle. This data was then used to inform a consultative exercise aimed at identifying core competencies for an M&E track/ concentration in MPH programs in the South Asian context. Results Our curricular review of M&E content within MPH programs globally showed that different domains or broad topic areas relating to M&E are covered differently across the programs. The quantitative sciences (Biostatistics and Epidemiology) and Health Policy and Management are covered in much greater depth than the other two domains (Social & Behavioral Sciences and Environmental Health Sciences). The identification of core competencies for an M&E track/ concentration in the South Asian context was undertaken through a consultative group exercise involving representation from 11 institutions across Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. During the consultation, the group engaged in a focused discussion to reach consensus on a set of 15 core competencies for an M&E track in South Asian MPH programs. Conclusion This work presents an opportunity for institutions to identify and re-examine their M&E competencies as a part of their specialized tracks within MPH programs. Our curricular analysis approach has the potential for adaptation and further use in curriculum analysis across different academic specialties.

description: Absolute gravimeters are used in geodesy, geophysics and physics for a wide spectrum of applications. Stable gravimetric measurements over timescales from several days to decades are required to provide relevant insight into geophysical processes. Users of absolute gravimeters participate in comparisons with a metrological reference in order to monitor the temporal stability of the instruments and determine the bias to that reference. However, since no measurement standard of higher-order accuracy currently exists, users of absolute gravimeters participate in key comparisons led by the International Committee for Weights and Measures. These comparisons provide the reference values of highest accuracy compared to the calibration against a single gravimeter operated at a metrological institute. The construction of stationary, large-scale atom interferometers paves the way for a new measurement standard in absolute gravimetry used as a reference with a potential stability up to 1nm/s2 at 1 s integration time. At the Leibniz University Hannover, we are currently building such a very long baseline atom interferometer with a 10-m-long interaction zone. The knowledge of local gravity and its gradient along and around the baseline is required to establish the instrument’s uncertainty budget and enable transfers of gravimetric measurements to nearby devices for comparison and calibration purposes. We therefore established a control network for relative gravimeters and repeatedly measured its connections during the construction of the atom interferometer. We additionally developed a 3D model of the host building to investigate the self-attraction effect and studied the impact of mass changes due to groundwater hydrology on the gravity field around the reference instrument. The gravitational effect from the building 3D model is in excellent agreement with the latest gravimetric measurement campaign which opens the possibility to transfer gravity values with an uncertainty below the 10nm/s2 level. © 2020, The Author(s).

A burrowing species, rarely detected because of its mainly fossorial habits.
 Habitat. It can be observed under stones or beneath rotten vegetation in habitats with rather deep soils (forested valleys, palm grooves along wadis, bushlands). It was reported also among droppings of goats (Schätti & Desvoignes 1999). We have collected it from 20 m of altitude at Wadi Qishn to 380 m south of Rokeb, but the species was collected at Diksam (695 m) by H. Rösler (Rösler & Wranik, 2004) and Schätti & Desvoignes (1999) cited it from Homhil at 700 m.

description: Finite-size effects in systems with diverging characteristic lengthscale have been addressed via state-of-the-art Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations of various models exhibiting solid-solid, liquid-liquid and vapor-liquid transitions. Our simulations, combined with the appropriate application of finite-size scaling theory, confirm various non-trivial singularities in equilibrium dynamic critical phenomena and non-equilibrium domain coarsening phenomena, as predicted by analytical theories. We convincingly demonstrate that the finite-size effects in the domain growth problems, with conserved order parameter dynamics, is weak and universal, irrespective of the transport mechanism. This result is strikingly different from the corresponding effects in critical dynamics. In critical phenomena, difference in finite-size effects between statics and dynamics is also discussed.

description: The iteratively reweighted least-squares approach to self-tuning robust adjustment of parameters in linear regression models with autoregressive (AR) and t-distributed random errors, previously established in Kargoll et al. (in J Geod 92(3):271–297, 2018. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00190-017-1062-6), is extended to multivariate approaches. Multivariate models are used to describe the behavior of multiple observables measured contemporaneously. The proposed approaches allow for the modeling of both auto- and cross-correlations through a vector-autoregressive (VAR) process, where the components of the white-noise input vector are modeled at every time instance either as stochastically independent t-distributed (herein called “stochastic model A”) or as multivariate t-distributed random variables (herein called “stochastic model B”). Both stochastic models are complementary in the sense that the former allows for group-specific degrees of freedom (df) of the t-distributions (thus, sensor-component-specific tail or outlier characteristics) but not for correlations within each white-noise vector, whereas the latter allows for such correlations but not for different dfs. Within the observation equations, nonlinear (differentiable) regression models are generally allowed for. Two different generalized expectation maximization (GEM) algorithms are derived to estimate the regression model parameters jointly with the VAR coefficients, the variance components (in case of stochastic model A) or the cofactor matrix (for stochastic model B), and the df(s). To enable the validation of the fitted VAR model and the selection of the best model order, the multivariate portmanteau test and Akaike’s information criterion are applied. The performance of the algorithms and of the white noise test is evaluated by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, the suitability of one of the proposed models and the corresponding GEM algorithm is investigated within a case study involving the multivariate modeling and adjustment of time-series data at four GPS stations in the EUREF Permanent Network (EPN). © 2020, The Author(s).

description: The spin blockade in capacitively coupled quantum dots was discussed using local anodic oxidation (LAO) and electron beam lithography. The tunability of the interdot coupling as a function of top gate voltage and magnetic field was studied. It was observed that the spatial separation of edge channels in the leads was much smaller in LAO devices. The results show that the spin blockade is useful for spin detection in LAO based quantum dot devices.

This rare worm snake has been previously reported from only few localities in the central and southern part of the island. We have only been able to collect two specimens at the end of January 2009 in a locality at low altitude situated in the western part of the island.
As stated by Schätti & Desvoignes (1999) the drawings in the paper by Hahn (1978) are quite misleading; these drawings were reproduced by Rösler & Wranik (2003: 144). Rösler & Wranik (2006a) compared the lectotype of the species to few specimens held in the collections of the Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (Bonn) and noted that one specimen presented a larger total length, higher number of dorsal scales and smaller diameter at midbody.
 Habitat. We found two specimens under palm leaves on rough soil in a palm grove.
 Original data. Fig. 27. Qeysoh.
 Bibliographic data. Boulenger (1899), Steindachner (1903), Rösler & Wranik (2006a), Parker (1949).
 General distribution. Endemic to Socotra Island.
 Remarks. Adalsteinsson et al. (2009) “ provisionally assigned [the worm snakes of Socotra] to [the new genus] Myriopholis, although their isolation on this Gondwana fragment may indicate deeper divergence ” but these authors never analyzed any Leptotyphlops from Socotra and based their conclusion only on the morphological data by Rösler & Wranik (2006a). In the absence of genetic evidence and in order to avoid taxonomic instabilty, we prefer to maintain the Socotran worm snakes in the genus Leptotyphlops pending further studies on Socotran specimens too.

description: Abstract Background Medication reconciliation is a safety practice to identify medication order discrepancies when patients’ transitions between settings. In nursing homes, registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), each group with different education preparation and scope of practice responsibilities, perform medication reconciliation. However, little is known about how they differ in practice when making sense of medication orders to detect discrepancies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe differences in RN and LPN sensemaking when detecting discrepancies. Method We used a qualitative methodology in a study of 13 RNs and 13 LPNs working in 12 Midwestern United States nursing homes. We used both conventional content analysis and directed content analysis methods to analyze semi-structured interviews. Four resident transfer vignettes embedded with medication order discrepancies guided the interviews. Participants were asked to describe their roles with medication reconciliation and their rationale for identifying medication order discrepancies within the vignettes as well as to share their experiences of performing medication reconciliation. The analysis approach was guided by Weick’s Sensemaking theory. Results RNs provided explicit stories of identifying medication order discrepancies as well as examples of clinical reasoning to assure medication order appropriateness whereas LPNs described comparing medication lists. RNs and LPNs both acknowledged competing demands, but when performing medication reconciliation, RNs were more concerned about accuracy and safety, whereas LPNs were more concerned about time. Conclusions Nursing home nurses, particularly RNs, are in an important position to identify discrepancies that could cause resident harm. Both RNs and LPNs are valuable assets to nursing home care and keeping residents safe, yet RNs offer a unique contribution to complex processes such as medication reconciliation. Nursing home leaders must acknowledge the differences in RN and LPN contributions and make certain nurses in the most qualified role are assigned to ensure residents remain safe.

description: Advective trapping occurs when solute enters low velocity zones in heterogeneous porous media. Classical local modelling approaches combine the impact of slow advection and diffusion into a hydrodynamic dispersion coefficient and many temporally non-local approaches lump these mechanisms into a single memory function. This joint treatment makes parameterization difficult and thus prediction of large-scale transport a challenge. Here, we investigate the mechanisms of advective trapping and their impact on transport in media composed of a high conductivity background and isolated low permeability inclusions. Breakthrough curves show that effective transport changes from a streamtube-like behaviour to genuine random trapping as the degree of disorder of the inclusion arrangement increases. We upscale this behaviour using a Lagrangian view point, in which idealized solute particles transition over a fixed distance at random advection times combined with Poissonian advective trapping events. We discuss the mathematical formulation of the upscaled model in the continuous time random walk and mobile-immobile mass transfer frameworks, and derive a model for large-scale solute non-Fickian dispersion. These findings give new insight into transport in highly heterogeneous media. © 2020 BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved.

description: Aims. We present a stand-alone software (named EXSdetect) for the detection of extended sources in X-ray images. Our goal is to provide a flexible tool capable of detecting extended sources down to the lowest flux levels attainable within instrumental limitations, while maintaining robust photometry, high completeness, and low contamination, regardless of source morphology. EXSdetect was developed mainly to exploit the ever-increasing wealth of archival X-ray data, but is also ideally suited to explore the scientific capabilities of future X-ray facilities, with a strong focus on investigations of distant groups and clusters of galaxies. Methods. EXSdetect combines a fast Voronoi tessellation code with a friends-of-friends algorithm and an automated deblending procedure. The values of key parameters are matched to fundamental telescope properties such as angular resolution and instrumental background. In addition, the software is designed to permit extensive tests of its performance via simulations of a wide range of observational scenarios. Results. We applied EXSdetect to simulated data fields modeled to realistically represent the Swift X-ray Cluster Survey (SXCS), which is based on archival data obtained by the X-ray telescope onboard the Swift satellite. We achieve more than 90% completeness for extended sources comprising at least 80 photons in the 0.5-2 keV band, a limit that corresponds to 10^-14 erg cm^-2 s^-1 for the deepest SXCS fields. This detection limit is comparable to the one attained by the most sensitive cluster surveys conducted with much larger X-ray telescopes. While evaluating the performance of EXSdetect, we also explored the impact of improved angular resolution and discuss the ideal properties of the next generation of X-ray survey missions.

description: In order to understand the rheological properties of cementitious suspensions at early stages, among other phases, the formation of ettringite and its time-dependent influence, whether by amount or morphology, has to be examined in detail using a suitable method to stop the hydration process. It is state-of-the-art to exchange water with isopropanol, however, the water initially remains in the system possibly leading to reduced time resolution. Our group raised the question if freeze-drying or the combination of the water-isopropanol exchange with subsequent freeze-drying might be a suitable technique to achieve an almost complete hydration stop at any time. Recently, it was shown under which circumstances low-pressure characterization techniques can be employed without destroying the samples due to loss of crystal bound water. Here, by implementing these recent results, we show under which circumstances freeze-drying indeed can be employed as fast hydration stop method. © 2021

description: In this article, we develop a reduced basis method for efficiently solving the coupled Stokes/Darcy equations with parametric internal geometry. To accommodate possible changes in topology, we define the Stokes and Darcy domains implicitly via a phase-field indicator function. In our reduced order model, we approximate the parameter-dependent phase-field function with a discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) that enables affine decomposition of the associated linear and bilinear forms. In addition, we introduce a modification of DEIM that leads to non-negativity preserving approximations, thus guaranteeing positive-semidefiniteness of the system matrix. We also present a strategy for determining the required number of DEIM modes for a given number of reduced basis functions. We couple reduced basis functions on neighboring patches to enable the efficient simulation of large-scale problems that consist of repetitive subdomains. We apply our reduced basis framework to efficiently solve the inverse problem of characterizing the subsurface damage state of a complete in-situ leach mining site. © 2022, The Author(s).

description: Knowledge-based geometry models reduce variant design to the input of parameter values. Especially knowledge-based CAD models that incorporate geometrical data and implemented explicit knowledge offer additional possibilities. One is interactive drag-and-drop control of geometric features. This poses new requirements for the setup of CAD models as each geometric constraint, dimension and 3D feature contributes to the variability of the model. In this paper, the authors give methodological guidance to such modeling tasks by extending the CommonKADS approach with a correlation model for CAD model entities. The guidelines are visualized for the creation of an interactive, configurable steel construction model.

Here, we prove that the number of iterations of this process is O(n^{4/3}); that is, the number of convex layers of the $n\times n$ grid is Θ(n^{4/3}).

description: Abstract
              Obesity is a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other chronic diseases. Some drugs, including fenofibrate, are used to treat obesity or excessive weight by lowering the level of specific triglycerides. However, different groups have different drug sensitivities and, consequently, there are differences in drug effects. In this study, we assessed both genetic and nongenetic factors that influence drug responses and stratified patients into groups based on differential drug effect and sensitivity. Our methodology of investigating genetic factors and nongenetic factors is applicable to studying differential effects of other drugs, such as statins, and provides an approach to the development of personalized medicine.

description: We present and discuss new visual wavelength-range observations of the inner regions of the supernova remnant SNR 0540-69.3 that is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These observations provide us with more spatial and spectral information than were previously available for this object. We use these data to create a detailed three-dimensional model of the remnant, assuming linear expansion of the ejecta. With the observations and the model we study the general three-dimensional structure of the remnant, and the influence of an active region in the remnant - a "blob" - that we address in previous papers. We used the fibre-fed integral-field spectrograph VIMOS at the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory. The observations provide us with three-dimensional data in [OIII]5007 and [SII]6717,6731 at an 0.33x0.33 spatial sampling and a velocity resolution of about 35 km/s. We decomposed the two, partially overlapping, sulphur lines and used them to calculate electron densities across the remnant at high signal-to-noise ratio. Our analysis reveals a structure that stretches from the position of the "blob", and into the plane of the sky at a position angle of about 60 degrees. We speculate that the pulsar is positioned along this activity axis, where it has a velocity along the line of sight of a few hundred km/s. The "blob" is most likely a region of shock activity, as it is mainly bright in [SII]; future observations of [OII]3729 would be useful to test whether the S/O abundance ratio is higher than average for that location in the remnant. The striking resemblance in X-rays between the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) of SNR 0540-69.3 and the Crab, in combination with our findings in this paper, suggests that the symmetry axis is part of a torus in the PWN.

description: Abstract To develop a more realistic assessment of costs, herein named “true” costs, the extra-cancer from medical radiation, environmental damage from imaging paraphernalia and radioactive wastes must be included as long-term costs from imaging examinations. It is urgent to define the “true” costs across imaging modalities as it interferes on physicians’ decision to request an exam and on research projects such as cost-effectiveness analysis. Cardiology is the specialty that most will benefit from the outcome as cardiovascular exams represent almost 30% of the total exams acquired annually worldwide.

description: Sensorimotor control simultaneously engages multiple cognitive processes, like decision making, intention, processing, and the integration of multisensory signals. The reciprocal relationship of cognition and sensorimotor learning is well documented. However, little is known if the status of cognitive skills relates to immediate sensorimotor performance of performing a novel skill. Thus, we aim to explore whether cognitive skills in general and executive functions (EFs) in particular may relate to novel sensorimotor performance and adaptive skills. Therefore, 23 male participants engaged in a novel driving simulation for 2 days. On the first day, they accustomed to the F1 simulation until meeting a preset threshold (adaption). On the second day, they aimed to drive as fast as possible (performance). In addition, we measured EFs and global cognition. We found meaningful relationships between response inhibition (Stroop Color and Word Test), the driving performance (r = 0.48, p = 0.013), and the adaptive ability (r = 0.34, p = 0.012). All other tests of executive functioning and global cognition remained non-significant. Our results illustrate an association of driving performance and adaptive abilities and the EF selective attention/inhibition in a novel F1 simulation. Given the novelty of the task, the ability to adjust sensorimotor behavior to keep the car on the track seems to be the primary necessary skill to navigate the lap and achieve fast times. © Copyright © 2020 Eckardt, Roden, Grube and Schorer.

Known from several localities of the Hajhir massif, with a single old lowland record from Hakari in the Noged plain, recently studied by Rösler & Wranik (2004); our records confirm this scenario.
 Habitat. Sparse and dense Croton and Buxus shrublands with scattered trees (Dracaena and Boswellia), forested areas, palm groves near the seacoast, along wadis, often with scattered stones, up to 995 m (Qaroni).
 Original data. Fig. 29. Go'o area, Diksam plateau, Central Noged, Wadi Ayhaft.
 Bibliographic data. Corkill & Cochrane (1966), Hahn (1978), Schätti & Desvoignes (1999), Rösler & Wranik (2004, 2006a).
 General distribution. A Socotran endemic.
 Remarks. Rösler & Wranik (2004) observed relevant morphological variation among the specimens examined and provisionally assigned them to Leptotyphlops cf. wilsoni. Two years later these authors further improved their taxonomical hypotheses assigning part of the material they studied to Leptotyphlops wilsoni and part to a new undescribed species “ Leptotyphlops sp.” (Rösler & Wranik, 2006a). Adalsteinsson et al. (2009) followed Rösler & Wranik (2006a) indicating four species of worm snakes (Myriopholis) distributed on Socotra Island. Since Rösler & Wranik (2006a) have never formally described their unnamed taxon, we adopt here a conservative approach considering all these specimens as conspecific, pending further evidence.

description: In the reconstruction process of unknown multiple scattering objects in inverse medium scattering problems, the first important step is to effectively locate some approximate domains that contain all inhomogeneous media. Without such an effective step, one may have to take a much larger computational domain than actually needed in the reconstruction of all scattering objects, thus resulting in a huge additional computational efforts. In this work we propose a simple and efficient multilevel reconstruction algorithm to help locate an accurate position and shape of each inhomogeneous medium. Then other existing effective but computationally more demanding reconstruction algorithms may be applied in these initially located computational domains to achieve more accurate shapes of the scatter and the contrast values over each medium domain. The new algorithm exhibits several strengths: robustness against noise, requiring less incidences, fast convergence, flexibility to deal with scatterers of special shapes, and advantages in computational complexity.

description: We investigate subdominant order parameters stabilizing at low temperatures in nano-scale high-T$_c$ cuprate islands, motivated by the recent observation of a fully gapped state in nanosized YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ [D. Gustafsson {\it et al}, Nature Nanotech. {\bf 8}, 25 (2013)]. Using complementary quasi-classical and tight-binding Bogoliubov-de Gennes methods, we show on distinctly different properties dependent on the symmetry being $d_{x^2-y^2}+i s$ or $d_{x^2-y^2}+i d_{xy}$. We find that a surface-induced $d_{x^2-y^2}+i s$ phase creates a global spectroscopic gap which increases with applied magnetic field, consistent with experimental observation.
