description: Background Pulmonary involvement is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Long-term impairment has been reported in adults with severe infection. However, most infections cause only mild symptoms or are even asymptomatic, especially in children. There is insufficient evidence regarding pulmonary outcome measures in mild SARS-CoV-2. The objectives of this study were to determine spirometry parameters after SARS-CoV-2 infection and correlate those with reported persisting symptoms in children, adolescents, and adults. Methods Data on clinical symptoms during acute infection as well as SARS-CoV-2 serology results were recorded. Twelve months after infection, spirometry was performed and information on persisting symptoms was collected using a structured questionnaire. 182 participants (108 SARS-CoV-2 positive) from 48 families were included; 53 children (< 14 years), 34 adolescents and young adults (14–25 years), and 95 adults. Results Spirometry values did not significantly differ between the particular subgroups of the cohort (adults, adolescents, children; infected and non-infected individuals). Adults reported more symptoms during acute infection as well more persisting fatigue (29.7% of participants), reduced physical resilience (34.4%), and dyspnea (25.0%) 12 months after infection than adolescents (fatigue 26.7%, reduced physical resilience 20%, and 0% dyspnea) and children (4%, 0%, 0%, respectively). There was no correlation between persistent subjective symptoms and spirometry results. Discussion Children and adolescents are less affected than adults by acute SARS-CoV-2 as well as by post-infection persistent symptoms. Spirometry was not able to demonstrate any differences between healthy individuals and participants who had suffered from mild SARS-CoV-2 12 months after the infection.

description: The principle of equivalence of care states that prisoners must have access to the same standard of health care as the general population. If, as recent court decisions suggest, assisted dying is not limited to people with a terminal physical illness or irremediable suffering, it might also be requested by people with severe mental illness in detention. Some of the countries with legal regulations on assisted dying also have recommendations on how to handle requests from prisoners. However, detention itself can lead to psychological distress and suicidality, so we must consider whether and how people in such settings can make autonomous decisions. Ethical conflicts arise with regard to an individual's free will, right to life, and physical and personal integrity and to the right of a state to inflict punishment. Furthermore, people in prison often receive insufficient mental health care. In this review, we compare different practices for dealing with requests for assisted dying from people in prison and forensic psychiatric facilities and discuss the current ethical and psychiatric issues concerning assisted dying in such settings.

description: This article offers a comprehensive treatment of polynomial functional regression, culminating in the establishment of a novel finite sample bound. This bound encompasses various aspects, including general smoothness conditions, capacity conditions, and regularization techniques. In doing so, it extends and generalizes several findings from the context of linear functional regression as well. We also provide numerical evidence that using higher order polynomial terms can lead to an improved performance.

Eudorylas parvifrons

description: Eudorylas parvifrons (Loew, 1858)
Pipunculus parvifrons Loew 1858: 375 [1860: 356]
Diagnosis: Third antennal segment very long acuminate; ocellar triangle unusually small. No specimen examined.
Type material (not examined): South Africa: males, “Cap.” [leg. Tollin] [based on Loew 1858].
Male (based on Loew 1860, translated from German)
Head. Third antennal segment very long acuminate; black. Face very narrow, much narrower than in E. aculeatus, black with inconspicuous white shine. Ocellar triangle exceptionally small, black, somewhat shining. Eyes touching for very long distance, ocelli enlarged in this region (characteristic for females).
Thorax. Mesonotum and scutellum black with brownish grey pollinosity, ventrally and below the scutellum with “pale as ashes” pollinosity.
Legs. Femora black, base and tip brownish yellow. Tibiae and tarsal segments brownish yellow (last tarsus dark brown), tibiae with an uncertain brown ring in the middle.
Wing. Glassy with greyish colour. Fourth costal section about as long as third costal section. Cross-vein R-M slightly beyond 1/3 of discal cell. Pterostigma dark brown, almost fully coloured. The section of the m between the two cross-veins strongly bent.
Abdomen. Black-brown, with silver pollinosity, more greyish on the hind margins laterally. Genitalia undissected: black brown, somewhat shining.
Female—Unknown.
Remarks —The redescription is based on Loew (1858 and 1860). Type material (several specimens based on the original description) seem to be lost according to H. Wendt, MNHU. (pers. comm.). The collector of the types is dubious: “B. Sp.” is given in Loew (1858: 375), and “Tollin.” in Loew (1860: 356).
Distribution— South Africa.

description: The quadratic embedding constant (QEC) of a graph $G$ is a new numeric invariant, which is defined in terms of the distance matrix and is denoted by $\mathrm{QEC}(G)$. By observing graph structure of the maximal cliques (clique graph), we show that a graph $G$ with $\mathrm{QEC}(G)<-1/2$ admits a ``cactus-like'' structure. We derive a formula for the quadratic embedding constant of a graph consisting of two maximal cliques. As an application we discuss characterization of graphs along the increasing sequence of $\mathrm{QEC}(P_d)$, where $P_d$ is the path on $d$ vertices. In particular, we determine graphs $G$ satisfying $\mathrm{QEC}(G)<\mathrm{QEC}(P_5)$.
Social learning with complex contagion

description: We introduce a mathematical model that combines the concepts of complex contagion with payoff-biased imitation, to describe how social behaviors spread through a population. Traditional models of social learning by imitation are based on simple contagion -- where an individual may imitate a more successful neighbor following a single interaction. Our framework generalizes this process to incorporate complex contagion, which requires multiple exposures before an individual considers adopting a different behavior. We formulate this as a discrete time and state stochastic process in a finite population, and we derive its continuum limit as an ordinary differential equation that generalizes the replicator equation, the most widely used dynamical model in evolutionary game theory. When applied to linear frequency-dependent games, our social learning with complex contagion produces qualitatively different outcomes than traditional imitation dynamics: it can shift the Prisoner's Dilemma from a unique all-defector equilibrium to either a stable mixture of cooperators and defectors in the population, or a bistable system; it changes the Snowdrift game from a single to a bistable equilibrium; and it can alter the Coordination game from bistability at the boundaries to two internal equilibria. The long-term outcome depends on the balance between the complexity of the contagion process and the strength of selection that biases imitation towards more successful types. Our analysis intercalates the fields of evolutionary game theory with complex contagions, and it provides a synthetic framework that describes more realistic forms of behavioral change in social systems.

Central position of the human histo (blood) group O(H)  and phenotype-determining enzymes in growth and infectious disease.
Creators: name: Arend, Peter
Publisher: name: Figshare
Year: 2017
Subjects: Cancer

description: Development
of the blood group A phenotype is associated with the impaired formation of adaptive
and innate immunoglobulins due to clonal selection and phenotypic, glycosidic
accommodation of plasma proteins. Compared with individuals from blood group
O(H), individuals with blood group A have a significantly higher risk of
developing certain types of cancer and exhibit strong susceptibility to malaria
tropica or infection by Plasmodium
falciparum. Although malaria tertiana, caused by Plasmodium vivax, is the
best-documented type of malaria, P.
falciparum causes the most severe disease. In both malaria types, the risk
of developing disease is molecularly strongly related to blood group phenotype
formation, although outcomes are reverse; while the Duffy positive (Fya) individuals are most susceptible to P. vivax infections but the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) protein
exerts marked cancer regulation, human blood group A shows significant
susceptibility to both life-threatening infection by P. falciparum and distinct types of cancer. Aside from the
molecular features of the DARC protein, the phenotype-determining
glycotransferase(s) from blood group A, affecting the levels of anti-A/Tn
cross-reactive immunoglobulins, might also explain the adhesion of the parasite
to host cells via the parasite's serine repeat antigen (SERA), which when exposed
to cancerous GalNAcα1-O-Ser/Thr-R,
"A-like"
(Tn) glycosylation, suggests to provide invasion of the parasite into a cancer
cell as well. In contrast, the human blood group O(H) is currently discussed to
have a survival advantage of the overall risk of developing cancer, it rarely
develops life-threatening malaria disease and offers the widest functional
flexibility in adaptive and germline-encoded innate immunity.

description: Catecholamine signaling is known to influence bone tissue as reuptake of norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerves into bone cells declines with age leading to osteoporosis. Further, β-adrenoceptor-blockers like propranolol provoke osteoprotective effects in osteoporotic patients. However, besides systemic adrenal and sympathetic catecholamine production, it is also known that myeloid cells can synthesize catecholamines, especially under inflammatory conditions. To investigate the effects of catecholamines produced by CD11b+ myeloid cells on bone turnover and regeneration, a mouse line with specific knockout of tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme of catecholamine synthesis, in CD11b+ myeloid cells (THflox/flox/CD11b-Cre+, referred to as THCD11b-Cre) was generated. For bone phenotyping, male mice were sacrificed at eight and twelve weeks of age and harvested bones were subjected to bone length measurement, micro-computed tomography, fluorescence-activated cell sorting of the bone marrow, gene expression analysis, histology and immunohistochemistry. Support for an age-dependent influence of myeloid cell-derived catecholamines on bone homeostasis is provided by the fact that twelve-week-old, but not eight-week-old THCD11b-Cre mice, developed an osteopenic phenotype and showed increased numbers of neutrophils and T lymphocytes in the bone marrow, while CCL2, IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10 mRNA expression was reduced in sorted myeloid bone marrow cells. To investigate the influence of myeloid cell-derived catecholamines on fracture healing, mice received a diaphyseal femur osteotomy. Three days post-fracture, immunohistochemistry revealed an increased number of macrophages, neutrophils and cytotoxic T lymphocytes in the fracture hematoma of THCD11b-Cre mice. Micro-computed tomography on day 21 showed a decreased tissue mineral density, a reduced bone volume and less trabeculae in the fracture callus indicating delayed fracture healing, probably due to the increased presence of inflammatory cells in THCD11b-Cre mice. This indicates a crucial role of myeloid cell-derived catecholamines in immune cell-bone cell crosstalk and during fracture healing.

description: Water confined in nanoscale cavities plays a crucial role in everyday phenomena in geology and biology, as well as technological applications at the water-energy nexus. However, even understanding the basic properties of nano-confined water is extremely challenging for theory, simulations, and experiments. In particular, determining the melting temperature of quasi-one-dimensional ice polymorphs confined in carbon nanotubes has proven to be an exceptionally difficult task, with previous experimental and classical simulations approaches report values ranging from $\sim 180 \text{ K}$ up to $\sim 450 \text{ K}$ at ambient pressure. In this work, we use a machine learning potential that delivers first principles accuracy to study the phase diagram of water for confinement diameters $ 9.5 < d < 12.5 \text{ Å}$. We find that several distinct ice polymorphs melt in a surprisingly narrow range between $\sim 280 \text{ K}$ and $\sim 310 \text{ K}$, with a melting mechanism that depends on the nanotube diameter. These results shed new light on the melting of ice in one-dimension and have implications for the operating conditions of carbon-based filtration and desalination devices.

description: Much of the success of modern language models depends on finding a suitable prompt to instruct the model. Until now, it has been largely unknown how variations in the linguistic expression of prompts affect these models. This study systematically and empirically evaluates which linguistic features influence models through paraphrase types, i.e., different linguistic changes at particular positions. We measure behavioral changes for five models across 120 tasks and six families of paraphrases (i.e., morphology, syntax, lexicon, lexico-syntax, discourse, and others). We also control for other prompt engineering factors (e.g., prompt length, lexical diversity, and proximity to training data). Our results show a potential for language models to improve tasks when their prompts are adapted in specific paraphrase types (e.g., 6.7% median gain in Mixtral 8x7B; 5.5% in LLaMA 3 8B). In particular, changes in morphology and lexicon, i.e., the vocabulary used, showed promise in improving prompts. These findings contribute to developing more robust language models capable of handling variability in linguistic expression.

description: L'obiettivo della presente è stato il ricercare modi di divisione/combinazione di segnali, per ottenere alte potenze con l'uso di dispositivi a tecnologia integrata, qualificati per lo spazio. Tutto ciò porta ad un alta riduzione dei costi di posa in opera. Anche la riuscita di ogni singola posa in orbita viene aumentata, considerando che la fase di lancio è quella in cui avviene la maggior part dei guasti (dovute in principal modo a stress meccanici e termici), dei dispositivi del pay load. Questo aumento è chiaramente dovuto al numero inferiore di moduli (convertitori di tensione a altro), presenti a bordo del satellite.
WELL Factsheet: Effectiveness of water quality interventions in preventing diarrhoea

description: This fact sheet describes the results of a systematic review of 41 controlled trials among some 56,000 participants to assess the effectiveness of water quality interventions to prevent endemic diarrhoea. Although there were substantial clinical and methodological differences in the studies, the evidence for the effectiveness of water quality interventions was compelling. Household-based interventions were generally more effective at preventing diarrhoea than those at water source. Effectiveness was positively associated with compliance. Effectiveness was not conditioned on the presence of improved water supplies or sanitation in the study setting, and was not enhanced by combining the intervention to improve water quality with other common environmental interventions intended to prevent diarrhoea.Produced by WEDC and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for the Department of International Development (DFID) of the UK government (now the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)), this archive collection of WELL factsheets remains relevant. It covers topics ranging from the anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater through to water quality and safety plans.

description: Diagrams often appear as node-link representations in many contexts, such as taxonomies, mind maps and networks in textbooks. Despite their pervasiveness, they present significant accessibility challenges for blind and low-vision people. To address this challenge, we introduce Touch-and-Audio-based Diagram Access (TADA), a tablet-based interactive system that makes diagram exploration accessible through musical tones and speech. We designed and developed TADA informed by insights gained from an interview study with 15 participants who shared their challenges and strategies for accessing diagrams. TADA enables people to access a diagram by: i) engaging in open-ended touch-based explorations, ii) allowing searching of specific nodes, iii) navigating from one node to another and iv) filtering information. We evaluated TADA with 25 participants and found that it can be a useful tool for gaining different perspectives about the diagram and participants could complete several diagram-related tasks.

description: Purpose A characteristic problem occurring in COVID-19 is excessive elevations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g. IL-6 and CRP) which are associated with worse clinical outcomes. Stimulation of the vagally-mediated cholinergic anti-inflammatory reflex by slow paced breathing with prolonged exhalation may present a clinically relevant way to reduce circulating IL-6. Method Single-center randomized controlled clinical trial with enrolment of 46 patients hospitalized with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and moderate COVID-19 pneumonia (primary diagnosis). Differences between intervention (4sec inhalation, 6sec exhalation for 20 minutes 3x daily) and control group in IL-6 calculated using multilevel mixed-effect linear regression models with random slope including the covariates relevant comorbidities, COVID-19 medication, and age. Both groups received standard care. Results Mean age was 57 years ± 13 years, N= 28 (60%) male, N=30 (65%) with relevant comorbidities. The model including group-by-time interaction revealed a significantly lower trajectory of IL-6 in the intervention group (effect size Cohens f2 = 0.11, LR-test p=.040) in the intention-to-treat sample, confirmed by per-protocol analysis (f2 = 0.15, LR-test p=.022). Exploratory analysis using the median split of practice time to predict IL-6 of the next morning indicated a dose-response relationship with beneficial effects of practice time above 45 minutes per day. Oxygen saturation remained unchanged during slow-paced breathing (95.1% ± 2.1% to 95.4% ± 1.6%). Conclusion Patients practicing slow-paced breathing had significantly lower IL-6 values than controls with a small to medium effect size and without relevant side effects. Further trials should evaluate clinical outcomes and an earlier start of the intervention. Slow-paced breathing could be an easy to implement, low-cost, safe and feasible adjuvant therapeutic approach to reduce circulating IL-6 in moderate COVID-19 pneumonia.

description: Moral judgement is a complex human reaction that engages cognitive and emotional dimensions. While some of the morality neural correlates are known, it is currently unclear if we can detect moral violation at a single-trial level. In a pilot study, here we explore the feasibility of moral judgement decoding from text stimuli with passive brain-computer interfaces. For effective moral judgement elicitation, we use video-audio affective priming prior to text stimuli presentation and attribute the text to moral agents. Our results show that further efforts are necessary to achieve reliable classification between moral congruency vs. incongruency states. We obtain good accuracy results for neutral vs. morally-charged trials. With this research, we try to pave the way towards neuroadaptive human-computer interaction and more human-compatible large language models (LLMs)

description: The electronic structure and phonon dispersion of XS$_2$ with X = Co, Tc, Ti, Ru, Nb, and Rh in the monolayer MoS$_2$ structure with trigonal-prismatic coordination are studied from first principles. Although each XS$_2$ is dynamically unstable, CoS$_2$, TcS$_2$, RuS$_2$, and RhS$_2$ can be stabilized by developing charge density waves in the (2$\times$2) supercell, leading to metal-insulator transitions. Without really needing the metal-insulator transitions and large atomic distortions, additional energy may be gained in the total energy by mixing transition metal elements to create high-entropy combinations for X, presenting a wide range of high-entropy XS$_2$ compounds that exhibit a variety of band structures, including direct- and indirect-gap semiconductors, metals, and semimetals.
