description: This proposal addresses the social determinants of health for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) adults in Durham County, highlighting the importance of social support for their well-being. LGBTQ+ individuals experience higher rates of loneliness, leading to health disparities.
An intergenerational community program is proposed to address these challenges by fostering relationships between younger and older LGBTQ+ adults through art and cultural events. This program will reduce isolation, promote social connectedness, and improve emotional and physical health. Collaboration with the Durham County Public Health Department, LGBTQ Center of Durham, and other LGBTQ+ affirming organizations will allow for support and resources.
Focus groups, status reports, and evaluation surveys will ensure community engagement and program effectiveness. Establishing a dedicated task force addressing loneliness will demonstrate Durham County's commitment to LGBTQ+ well-being. The initiative seeks to enhance social connectedness and health outcomes for LGBTQ+ adults through community engagement and data-driven improvements.

description: Let $(S, m)$ be an $n$-dimensional regular local ring essentially of finite type over a field and let $I$ be an ideal of $S$. We prove that if $\text{depth} S/I \ge 3$, then the cohomological dimension $\mathrm{cd}(S, I)$ of $I$ is less than or equal to $n-3$. We also show, under the assumption that $S$ has an algebraically closed residue field of characteristic zero, that if $\text{depth} S/I \ge 4$, then $\mathrm{cd}(S, I) \le n-4$ if and only if the local Picard group of the completion $\widehat{S/I}$ is torsion. We give a number of applications, including sharp bounds on cohomological dimension of ideals whose quotients satisfy good depth conditions such as Serre's conditions $(S_i)$.

description: We show that light scattering from an ultracold gas reveals not only density correlations, but also matter-field interference at its shortest possible distance in an optical lattice, which defines key properties such as tunneling and matter-field phase gradients. This signal can be enhanced by concentrating probe light between lattice sites rather than at density maxima. As addressing between two single sites is challenging, we focus on global nondestructive scattering, allowing probing order parameters, matter-field quadratures and their squeezing. The scattering angular distribution displays peaks even if classical diffraction is forbidden and we derive generalized Bragg conditions. Light scattering distinguishes all phases in the Mott insulator - superfluid - Bose glass phase transition.

description: Background: The vaginal microbiome has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but information on the impact of diet on microbiome composition is largely unexamined. Objective: To estimate the association between prenatal diet and vaginal microbiota composition overall and by race. Methods: We leveraged a racially diverse prenatal cohort of North Carolina women enrolled between 1995 and 2001 to conduct this analysis using cross-sectional data. Women completed food frequency questionnaires about diet in the previous 3 months and foods were categorised into subgroups: fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, whole grains, low-fat dairy, sweetened beverages and red meat. We additionally assessed dietary vitamin D, fibre and yogurt consumption. Stored vaginal swabs collected in mid-pregnancy were sequenced using 16S taxonomic profiling. Women were categorised into three groups based on predominance of species: Lactobacillus iners, Lactobacillus miscellaneous and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)-associated bacteria. Adjusted Poisson models with robust variance estimators were run to assess the risk of being in a specific vagitype compared to the referent. Race-stratified models (Black/White) were also run. Results: In this study of 634 women, higher consumption of dairy was associated with increased likelihood of membership in the L. crispatus group compared to the L. iners group in a dose-dependent manner (risk ratio quartile 4 vs. 1: 2.01, 95% confidence interval 1.36, 2.95). Increased intake of fruit, vitamin D, fibre and yogurt was also associated with increased likelihood of membership in L. crispatus compared to L. iners, but only among black women. Statistical heterogeneity was only detected for fibre intake. There were no detected associations between any other food groups or risk of membership in the BV group. Conclusions: Higher consumption of low-fat dairy was associated with increased likelihood of membership in a beneficial vagitype, potentially driven by probiotics.

description: Background: There is evidence vitamin A plays a role in neuroblastoma. Not only is 13-cis-retinoic acid used as maintenance therapy for high-risk cases, but prenatal vitamin intake use may decrease neuroblastoma risk. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitamin A-related genes are may be associated with neuroblastoma risk and potentially be modified by vitamin A intake. Methods: The Neuroblastoma Epidemiology in North America (NENA) study recruited 563 case-parent sets through the Children's Oncology Group's Childhood Cancer Research Network. We ascertained dietary nutrient intake through questionnaires and genotyped 463 SNPs in vitamin A-related genes from saliva DNA. Offspring and maternal log-additive risk ratios (RR) and stratum-specific RR for gene-environment interaction were estimated with a log-linear model. We avoided false positives due to multiple testing by using the false discovery rate (FDR). Results: When all neuroblastoma cases were considered together, no offspring variants met the significance criteria (FDR Q-value < 0.2). One maternal SNP (rs12442054) was associated with decreased risk of neuroblastoma (RR: 0.61; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.47–0.79, Q = 0.076). When the cases were categorized according to prognostic risk category and age at onset, nine offspring SNPs were significantly associated with intermediate-risk neuroblastoma. Maternal rs6776706 was associated with (RR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.33–0.72, Q = 0.161) high-risk neuroblastoma and maternal rs11103603 (RR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.45–0.79, Q = 0.127) was associated with neuroblastoma aged <1 year. For gene-environment interaction, maternal rs729147 was associated with decreased risk of neuroblastoma among mothers with vitamin A consumption above the recommendation. Conclusions: Although there is biologic plausibility for the role of vitamin A in neuroblastoma, we found weak evidence of a relationship between vitamin A related genes and neuroblastoma.

description: My paper aims to analyze the attempts of cinema to represent the register of impossible and unimaginable of apocalypse through the movie Heart of Glass of Werner Herzog. The German filmmaker is well-known for his skills to turn something that is impossible to see, such as apocalypse, into visibility. In Heart of Glass Herzog uses a lot of uncanny ways of seeing, especially hypnosis, and different levels of visions, such as prophecies, ecstatic dreams, tableaux vivants of Friedrich and Brueghel’s paintings, to recreate the experience of seeing apocalypse. In this way apocalypse become a cultural device wherein the gaze faces with the mystery of the images.

The analysis of the Shubnikov-de Hass oscillations confirms the 1/2-shift expected from a Dirac spectrum, giving transport evidence of the existence of surface states. Importantly, the SrxBi2Se3superconductor is stable under air, making the SrxBi2Se3 compound an ideal material base for investigating topological superconductivity.

Digital apocalypses: visual or verbal decline?
Creators: name: Sindoni, Maria Grazia
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: This paper addresses the question as to whether new digital forms of interaction instantiate a decline of verbal language or of visual communication. Many studies claim that web-based interactions are more based on verbal language, as they involve live, spoken interactions, which are by definition shaped by conversation, whereas others argue that image is dominant in the digital domain, as it deploys affordances typical of multimodal environments. It provides a theoretical introduction to the study of videochats, seen as dynamic texts that enact a new form of interaction. Interactional resources are arranged in such innovative ways in videochats that they produce a new field investigation for researchers in the field of linguistics, communication, media studies, visual ethnography and digital literacy. The paper singles out relevant aspects, such as the alternation of speech and writing, new patterns in proxemics and kinesics, impossibility of eye contact, which are so striking as to warrant special investigation. In particular, speech and writing are technologically integrated, allowing participants to modeswitch, i.e. alternate between spoken and written discourse. New arrangements of verbal and non verbal resources attempt to simulate faceto-face conversations. However, the illusion of a face-to-face conversation dissolves as soon as videochat-specific resources are unpacked. Despite the growing research into non verbal behavior, videochat data challenge visual analysts and researchers for a variety of reasons illustrated in this paper.

Di corsa, per forza. Performances rituali per la Domenica di Pasqua in Sicilia

Year: 2020
Subjects: Festa religiosa; lavoro contadino; performances coreutiche; conflitto

description: Several sicilian religious celebrations are characterized by a particular mode of processional transport of the fercoli with the statues of the Saints. These are made to run and dance by devoted young men, often competing with each other, both on the streets of the inhabited centers and, in rare cases, inside the religious buildings. This mode of transport is called, especially in the countries of the western Agrigento’s area, “rigattiata”. Many evidences, first of all the agonal climate, suggest that the same performative logic presides over the ritual execution of the “rigattiati” and the ergological action of the work in the fields. The competitive and conflicting climate between two or more adverse factions is, on the other hand, inserted within the so called wars of saints’ phenomenon, once more widespread in Sicily, and can be referred to the power games that articulate relationships between the social partners. Once again we observe how the religious holiday in Sicily is authentically constituted as a “total social fact”: as a space-time of devotion, as an elective moment of affirmation of physical and moral qualities, as a privileged occasion for political confrontation.

description: As performances coincide with showing doing, the meaning and function of performative acts or actions have to be found in their meaning, more than in their effective results. Starting from Cirese’s reflections about the hendyade doing/saying, and thanks to Kirshenblatt-Gimblett’s suggestion that things are slow events, things and actions such as those relative to prison and asylum seekers acceptance policies, may be read “as performances”. Schechner’s theory inspired an approach to Italian state policies concerning security that reveals how the official and Constitutional ends are counterdicted and replaced by an inertial extension of retributive concept of penal condition, on the one hand, and, on the other, by a formal reject opposed to migrants and asylum seekers demand, that leave them as disciplined labour force for the informal (illegal) economy. Read under the performance approach, the security policies do perpetuate an idea of humanity divided between rights bearers (we) and right ruled (the others).

Subjects: Syncretism, Yoruba, Stage, Chorus of Slaves

description: This paper is a summary of Wole Soyinka’s Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite, a Nigerian dramatic rewriting from Euripides’Bacchae. This analysis which identifies the similarities and the inconsistencies between the ancient Greek myths and gods and the Yoruba cosmogony and rituals, will focus on the idea of drama as an ideal medium for social and political expression within a postcolonial space. The following aspects of Soyinka’s Bacchae will be taken under consideration: the relationship between the classical prototype and its Yoruba version (the re-contextualization of time, space and characters; the similarities and the inconsistencies between the ancient Greek myths and gods and the Yoruba cosmogony and folklore); the cultural and metaphysical syncretism; third and last, the metamorphosis of the myth’s identity, that is, the deconstruction of traditional western canons and themes replaced by precolonial rituals. The result is a syncretic theatre.

description: Oral health and disease are known to be influenced by complex interactions between environmental (e.g., social and behavioral) factors and innate susceptibility. Although the exact contribution of genomics and other layers of “omics” to oral health is an area of active research, it is well established that the susceptibility to dental caries, periodontal disease, and other oral and craniofacial traits is substantially influenced by the human genome. A comprehensive understanding of these genomic factors is necessary for the realization of precision medicine in the oral health domain. To aid in this direction, the advent and increasing affordability of high-throughput genotyping has enabled the simultaneous interrogation of millions of genetic polymorphisms for association with oral and craniofacial traits. Specifically, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of dental caries and periodontal disease have provided initial insights into novel loci and biological processes plausibly implicated in these two common, complex, biofilm-mediated diseases. This paper presents a summary of protocols, methods, tools, and pipelines for the conduct of GWAS of dental caries, periodontal disease, and related traits. The protocol begins with the consideration of different traits for both diseases and outlines procedures for genotyping, quality control, adjustment for population stratification, heritability and association analyses, annotation, reporting, and interpretation. Methods and tools available for GWAS are being constantly updated and improved; with this in mind, the presented approaches have been successfully applied in numerous GWAS and meta-analyses among tens of thousands of individuals, including dental traits such as dental caries and periodontal disease. As such, they can serve as a guide or template for future genomic investigations of these and other traits.

description: Physician Assistants (PAs) have been integrated across academic teaching hospitals in Hamilton since 2010. A survey was administered to practicing PAs at Hamilton Health Sciences Centre (HHSC) or St. Joseph’s Healthcare (SJH) to explore PA role integration and PA satisfaction in working at an academic hospital. The 22 PA respondents reported a considerable amount of autonomy of 76% (with 100% being full autonomy). The PAs felt their respective training programs prepared them for the workforce. It is evident that PAs integrate well into the healthcare system; many are mentoring medical students, and all have excellent relationships with their supervising physician(s) and co-workers. However, many PAs expressed feelings of burnout, lack of compensation, and paucity of PA mentorship. Areas of improvement include increasing PA mentorship, recruiting more PAs, and integrating more specialized clinical experience into PA programs.

description: Buchstaber invariant is a numerical characteristic of a simplicial complex, arising from torus actions on moment-angle complexes. In the paper we study the relation between Buchstaber invariants and classical invariants of simplicial complexes such as bigraded Betti numbers and chromatic invariants. The following two statements are proved. (1) There exists a simplicial complex U with different real and ordinary Buchstaber invariants. (2) There exist two simplicial complexes with equal bigraded Betti numbers and chromatic numbers, but different Buchstaber invariants. To prove the first theorem we define Buchstaber number as a generalized chromatic invariant. This approach allows to guess the required example. The task then reduces to a finite enumeration of possibilities which was done using GAP computational system. To prove the second statement we use properties of Taylor resolutions of face rings.

description: Electromagnetic properties depend on the composition of materials, i.e. either angstrom scales of molecules or, for metamaterials, subwavelength periodic structures. Each material behaves differently in accordance with the frequency of an incoming electromagnetic wave due to the frequency dispersion or the resonance of the periodic structures. This indicates that if the frequency is fixed, the material always responds in the same manner unless it has nonlinearity. However, such nonlinearity is controlled by the magnitude of the incoming wave or other bias. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish different incoming waves at the same frequency. Here we present a new concept of circuit-based metasurfaces to selectively absorb or transmit specific types of waveforms even at the same frequency. The metasurfaces, integrated with schottky diodes as well as either capacitors or inductors, selectively absorb short or long pulses, respectively. The two types of the circuit elements are then combined to absorb or transmit specific waveforms in between. This waveform selectivity gives us another freedom to control electromagnetic waves in various fields including wireless communications, as our simulation reveals that the metasurfaces are capable of varying bit error rates in response to waveforms.

description: This article attempts to lay the preliminary methodological foundations for a series of systematic surveys on the performativity of Dante’s poetry within two general areas: the first, which we define “Performativity of the Comedy”, concerns the analysis of semantic, rhetorical, phonic, prosodic, musical, and narratological elements in order to understand if the sacred Poem responds to a finalité performancielle. The second, which we call “Performativity in the Comedy”, concerns the search for elements attributable to the broad spectrum of performing in the Middle Ages and, in particular, for appreciable traces of the categories of spectacularity and theatricality. In this regard, the methodological filter of Performance Studies will be applied to the study of Dante’s poem.

An Introduction in search of answers to the fundamental question: what role has the theater in Schechner’s performance theory and therefore in Performance Studies? In this regard, a comparison is proposed between the conceptions of the relationship between theater and performance in Performance Studies and in New Theatrology; secondly Grotowski’s example is called into question, whose encroachments bring out some unresolved ambiguities and contradictions at the bottom of Performance Studies; finally, the revival in grand style of a (political) commitment of the theater in the last Schechner is noted.

description: Previous studies have investigated the associations between the vaginal microbiome and preterm birth, with the aim of determining whether differences in community patterns meaningfully alter risk and could therefore be the target of intervention. We report on vaginal microbial analysis of a nested case-control subset of the Pregnancy, Infection, and Nutrition (PIN) Study, including 464 White women (375 term birth and 89 spontaneous preterm birth, sPTB) and 360 Black women (276 term birth and 84 sPTB). We found that the microbiome of Black women has higher alpha-diversity, higher abundance of Lactobacillus iners, and lower abundance of Lactobacillus crispatus. However, among women who douche, there were no significant differences in microbiome by race. The sPTB-associated microbiome exhibited a lower abundance of L. crispatus, while alpha diversity and L. iners were not significantly associated with sPTB. For each order of magnitude increase in the normalized relative abundance of L. crispatus, multivariable adjusted odds of sPTB decreased by approximately 20% (odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.70, 0.94). When we considered the impact of douching, associations between the microbiome and sPTB were limited to women who do not douche. We also observed strong intercorrelations between a range of maternal factors, including poverty, education, marital status, age, douching, and race, with microbiome effect sizes in the range of 1.8 to 5.2% in univariate models. Therefore, race may simply be a proxy for other socially driven factors that differentiate microbiome community structures. Future work will continue to refine reliable microbial biomarkers for preterm birth across diverse cohorts.

description: We consider the orbit type filtration on a manifold $X$ with locally standard action of a compact torus and the corresponding homological spectral sequence $(E_X)^r_{*,*}$. If all proper faces of the orbit space $Q=X/T$ are acyclic, and the free part of the action is trivial, this spectral sequence can be described in full. The ranks of diagonal terms are equal to the $h'$-numbers of the Buchsbaum simplicial poset $S_Q$ dual to $Q$. Betti numbers of $X$ depend only on the orbit space $Q$ but not on the characteristic function. If $X$ is a slightly different object, namely the model space $X=(P\times T^n)/\sim$ where $P$ is a cone over Buchsbaum simplicial poset $S$, we prove that $\dim (E_X)^{\infty}_{p,p} = h''_p(S)$. This gives a topological evidence for the fact that $h''$-numbers of Buchsbaum simplicial posets are nonnegative.

description: Let $X$ be a $2n$-manifold with a locally standard action of a compact torus $T^n$. If the free part of action is trivial and proper faces of the orbit space $Q$ are acyclic, then there are three types of homology classes in $X$: (1) classes of face submanifolds; (2) $k$-dimensional classes of $Q$ swept by actions of subtori of dimensions $

description: We introduce and explore a new method for inferring hidden geometric coordinates of nodes in complex networks based on the number of common neighbors between the nodes. We compare this approach to the HyperMap method, which is based only on the connections (and disconnections) between the nodes, i.e., on the links that the nodes have (or do not have). We find that for high degree nodes the common-neighbors approach yields a more accurate inference than the link-based method, unless heuristic periodic adjustments (or "correction steps") are used in the latter. The common-neighbors approach is computationally intensive, requiring $O(t^4)$ running time to map a network of $t$ nodes, versus $O(t^3)$ in the link-based method. But we also develop a hybrid method with $O(t^3)$ running time, which combines the common-neighbors and link-based approaches, and explore a heuristic that reduces its running time further to $O(t^2)$, without significant reduction in the mapping accuracy. We apply this method to the Autonomous Systems (AS) Internet, and reveal how soft communities of ASes evolve over time in the similarity space. We further demonstrate the method's predictive power by forecasting future links between ASes. Taken altogether, our results advance our understanding of how to efficiently and accurately map real networks to their latent geometric spaces, which is an important necessary step towards understanding the laws that govern the dynamics of nodes in these spaces, and the fine-grained dynamics of network connections.

description: Any manifold with boundary gives rise to a Poincare duality algebra in a natural way. Given a simplicial poset $S$ whose geometric realization is a closed orientable homology manifold, and a characteristic function, we construct a manifold with boundary such that graded components of its Poincare duality algebra have dimensions $h_k"(S)$. This gives a clear topological evidence for two well-known facts about simplicial manifolds: the nonnegativity of $h"$-numbers (Novik--Swartz theorem) and the symmetry $h"_k=h"_{n-k}$ (generalized Dehn--Sommerville relations).

description: We investigate the behavior of a harmonically trapped system consisting of an impurity in a dilute ideal Bose gas after the boson-impurity interaction is suddenly switched on. As theoretical framework, we use a field theory approach in the space-time domain within the T-matrix approximation. We establish the form of the corresponding T-matrix and address the dynamical properties of the system. As a numerical application, we consider a simple system of a weakly interacting impurity in one dimension where the interaction leads to oscillations of the impurity density. Moreover, we show that the amplitude of the oscillations can be driven by periodically switching the interaction on and off.

Un parto in maschera? Osservazioni sulla terracotta antropomorfica calcolitica della Fondazione Pierides (Larnaca, Cipro)

description: A well-known anthropomorphic asksos of a seated male, first described in 1981 as an enthroned ithyphallic figure, belongs to the archaeological collection of the Pierides Foundation Museum in Larnaka In this paper, after briefly describing the terracotta as an object per se, I will move to analyze two major opposite interpretative schemes firstly proposed by Desmond Morris and Vassos Karageorghis and then by Naomi Hamilton. Although the lack of clear provenance makes contextual analysis more difficult, we might rely on three different sources of evidence in order to interpret the Pierides terracotta: figurative documents, ethnographic counterparts and literary evidence. As far as the first set of documents is concerned, the archaeological record suggests that while there is no tradition of male figures in Chalcolithic Cyprus, seated figures do have a place in the iconography of the period and they are mostly connected with pregnancy and birth-giving, such as at Middle Chalcolithic Kissonerga-Mosphilia (Period 3B). At the same time, both ethnographic counterparts and the literary analysis of ancient myth confirm the relevance of male transvestitism in the performance of the couvade, as a ritual connected with the fertility and the protection of the woman lifegiver. To conclude with, it will be argued that this threefold data-set leads us to a new interpretation of the significance and peculiar function of this terracotta in the ritual performance of the Chalcolithic community in Cyprus.

Bees and birds in aegean epiphanic dance
Creators: name: Foster, Karen Polinger
Publisher: name: Mantichora. Italian Journal of Performance Studies
Year: 2020

description: Epiphanic dance was one of the principal aspects of ritual performance in the Aegean Bronze Age. The pictorial evidence from seals, seal impressions, wall paintings, and other works shows (mostly) women dancing, usually in open-air settings, to induce divine apparitions or to engender such visions in their audiences. The present study proposes that the hive dances of the honey bee and the aerial acrobatics of the barn swallow served as models for costumes and choreography, whose memory may well be preserved on Homer’s shield of Achilles, with its dancing space that “Daedalus made at Knossos for Ariadne” (Iliad 18:590-606).

description: This paper analyzes the exemplar story of Tariq – a minicab driver born in London in a family from Lahore – and his gradual change from “English” to Pakistani, from “western” to Orthodox believer. An existential parable marked by three main phases: the construction, elaboration and reconstruction of events, narrations and memories by Tariq; his detachment, if not rejection, from the “western” integration of his brothers; his idealization of the country of origin and “local” relationships to which is added the religious choice gradually acquired as a whole as a new way of life. All this will be analyzed from a performative and procedural perspective of anthropology.
