description: Physical activity levels in girls decline dramatically during adolescence, most profoundlyamong minorities. To explore ethnic and racial variation in attitudes toward physical activity, semistructured interviews (n = 80) and physical activity checklists (n = 130) are conducted with African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian middle school girls in six locations across the United States. Girls from all groups have similar perceptions of the benefits of physical activity, with staying in shape as the most important. Girls have similar negative perceptions of physical activity, including getting hurt, sweating, aggressive players, and embarrassment. Chores, runningor jogging, exercises, and dance are common activities for girls regardless of ethnicity. Basketball, swimming, running, and dance are commonly cited favorite activities, although there are slight differences between ethnic groups. The results suggest that factors other than ethnicity contribute to girls’physical activity preferences and that distinct interventions may not be needed for each ethnic group.

description: Graphene oxide (GO) is increasingly used for controlling mass diffusion in hydrogel-based drug delivery applications. On the macro-scale, the density of GO in the hydrogel is a critical parameter for modulating drug release. Here, we investigate the diffusion of a peptide drug through a network of GO membranes and GO-embedded hydrogels, modelled as porous matrices resembling both laminated and ‘house of cards’ structures. Our experiments use a therapeutic peptide and show a tunable nonlinear dependence of the peptide concentration upon time. We establish models using numerical simulations with a diffusion equation accounting for the photo-thermal degradation of fluorophores and an effective percolation model to simulate the experimental data. The modelling yields an interpretation of the control of drug diffusion through GO membranes, which is extended to the diffusion of the peptide in GO-embedded agarose hydrogels. Varying the density of micron-sized GO flakes allows for fine control of the drug diffusion. We further show that both GO density and size influence the drug release rate. The ability to tune the density of hydrogel-like GO membranes to control drug release rates has exciting implications to offer guidelines for tailoring drug release rates in hydrogel-based therapeutic delivery applications.

description: Maintenance has infinite number of functions and its strategic formulation needs infinite number of factors. This kind of multi criteria problems should be handled by multi criteria decision making process. Therefore, the main objective of this research is identifying key maintenance factors and then model maintenance strategy with AHP to select the possible priorities of maintenance strategy by using expert decision method. Selection of efficient maintenance strategy can be achieved by pairwise comparison of the identified functions. This qualitative survey assessed the opinion of maintenance professionals (11 personals) and rolling stock manufacturing & design experts (7 personals) at METEC locomotive division to select the maintenance system. The research method comprises identification of maintenance factors and suggestion of possible maintenance strategies. AHP analysis shows that safety (38.2%) become the highest priority of LRT system.

description: In a recent paper, Gurzadyan & Penrose claim to have found directions in the sky around which there are multiple concentric sets of annuli with anomalously low variance in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). These features are presented as evidence for a particular theory of the pre-Big Bang Universe. We are able to reproduce the analysis these authors presented for data from the WMAP satellite and we confirm the existence of these apparently special directions in the newer Planck data. However, we also find that these features are present at the same level of abundance in simulated Gaussian CMB skies, i.e. they are entirely consistent with the predictions of the standard cosmological model.

description: The Trial of Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG) is a randomized, multicenter field trial in middle schools that aims to reduce the decline of physical activity in adolescent girls. To inform the development of the TAAG intervention, two phases of formative research are conducted to gain information on school structure and environment and on the conduct of physical education classes. Principals and designated staff at 64 eligible middle schools were interviewed using the School Survey during Phase 1. The following year (Phase 2), physical education department heads of the 36 schools selected into TAAG were interviewed. Responses were examined to design a standardized, multicomponent physical activity intervention for six regions of the United States. This article describes the contribution of formative research to the development of the physical education intervention component and summarizes the alignment of current school policies and practices with national and state standards.

description: The Internet has emerged as an important tool for the delivery of health promotion and disease prevention interventions. Our community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnership developed and piloted CyBER/testing, a culturally congruent intervention designed to promote HIV testing among men who have sex with men (MSM) within existing Internet chat rooms. Using a quasi-experimental, single-group study design, cross-sectional data were collected from chat room participants, known as “chatters,” at pretest (n=346) and post-test (n=315). Extant profile data also were collected to describe the demographics of the online population. The intervention significantly increased self-reported HIV testing among chatters overall, increasing rates from 44.5% at pretest to nearly 60% at post-test (p<.001). Furthermore, chatters who reported having both male and female sexual partners had nearly 6 times the odds of reporting HIV testing at post-test. Findings suggest that chat room-based HIV testing intervention may increase testing among MSM who may be difficult to reach in traditional physical spaces.

description: Peer support interventions extend care and health information to underserved populations yet rarely address serious illness. Investigators from a well-defined academic–community partnership developed and evaluated a peer support intervention for African Americans facing advanced cancer. Evaluation methods used the Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework. Investigators initially recruited and trained 24 lay health advisors who shared information or support with 210 individuals. However, lay advisors reported barriers of medical privacy and lack of confidence working alone with people with cancer. Training was modified to match the support team model for peer support; training reached 193 volunteers, 104 of whom formed support teams for 47 persons with serious illness. Support teams were adopted by 23 community organizations, including 11 African American churches. Volunteers in teams felt prepared to implement many aspects of supportive care such as practical support (32%) or help with cancer or palliative care resources (43%). People with serious illness requested help with practical, emotional, spiritual, and quality of life needs; however, they rarely wanted advocacy (3%) or cancer or palliative care resources (5%) from support teams. Volunteers had difficulty limiting outreach to people with advanced cancer due to medical privacy concerns and awareness that others could benefit. Support teams are a promising model of peer support for African Americans facing advanced cancer and serious illness, with reach, adoption, and implementation superior to the lay advisor model. This formative initial evaluation provides evidence for feasibility and acceptance. Further research should examine the efficacy and potential for maintenance of this intervention.

description: Psychiatric patients require continuous monitoring on par with their severity status. Unfortunately, current assessment instruments are often time-consuming. The present thesis introduces several passive digital markers (PDMs) that can help reduce this burden by automating the assessment using medical notes. The methodology leverages medical notes already annotated according to the General Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale to develop a disease severity PDM for schizophrenia, bipolar type I or mixed bipolar and non-psychotic patients. Topic words that are representative of three disease severity levels (severe impairment, serious impairment, moderate to no impairment) are identified and the top 50 words from each severity level are used to summarize the raw text of the medical notes. The summary of the text is processed by a classifier that generates a disease severity level. Two classifiers are considered: BERT PDM and Clinical BERT PDM. The evaluation of these classifiers showed that the BERT PDM delivered the best performance. The PDMs developed using the BERT PDM can assign medical notes from each encounter to a severe impairment level with a positive predictive value higher than 0.84. These PDMs are generalizable and their development was facilitated by the availability of a substantial number of medical notes from multiple institutions that were annotated by several health care providers. The methodology introduced in the present thesis can support the automated monitoring of the progression of the disease severity for psychiatric patients by digitally processing the medical note produced at each encounter without additional burden on the health care system. Applying the same methodology to other diseases is possible subject to availability of the necessary data.

description: The non-topological, stationary and propagating, soliton solutions of the classical continuous Heisenberg ferromagnet equation are investigated. A general, rigorous formulation of the Inverse Scattering Transform for this equation is presented, under less restrictive conditions than the Schwartz class hypotheses and naturally incorporating the non-topological character of the solutions. Such formulation is based on a new triangular representation for the Jost solutions, which in turn allows an immediate computation of the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering data for large values of the spectral parameter, consistently improving on the existing theory. A new, general, explicit multi-soliton solution formula, amenable to computer algebra, is obtained by means of the matrix triplet method, producing all the soliton solutions (including breather-like and multipoles), and allowing their classification and description.

description: Optical selection rule fundamentally determines the optical transition between energy states in a variety of physical systems from hydrogen atoms to bulk crystals such as GaAs. It is important for optoelectronic applications such as lasers, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and quantum computation. Recently, single layer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) exhibits valleys in momentum space with nontrivial Berry curvature and excitons with large binding energy. However, it is unclear how the unique valley degree of freedom combined with the strong excitonic effect influences the optical excitation. Here we discover a new set of optical selection rules in monolayer WS2,imposed by valley and exciton angular momentum. We experimentally demonstrated such a principle for second harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon luminescence (TPL). Moreover, the two-photon induced valley populations yield net circular polarized photoluminescence after a sub-ps interexciton relaxation (2p->1s) and last for 8 ps. The discovery of this new optical selection rule in valleytronic 2D system not only largely extend information degrees but sets a foundation in control of optical transitions that is crucial to valley optoeletronic device applications such as 2D valley-polarized light emitting diodes (LED), optical switches and coherent control for quantum computing.

description: Minorities are disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS in the rural Southeast; therefore, it is important to develop targeted, culturally appropriate interventions to support rural minority participation in HIV/AIDS research. Using Intervention Mapping, we developed a comprehensive multilevel intervention for service providers (SPs) and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). We collected data from both groups through 11 focus groups and 35 individual interviews. Resultant data were used to develop matrices of behavioral outcomes, performance objectives and learning objectives. Each performance objective was mapped with changeable, theory-based determinants to inform components of the intervention. Behavioral outcomes for the intervention included: (a) Eligible PLWHA will enroll in clinical trials; and (b) SPs will refer eligible PLWHA to clinical trials. The ensuing intervention consists of four SPs and six PLWHA educational sessions. Its contents, methods and strategies were grounded in the theory of reasoned action, social cognitive theory, and the concept of social support. All materials were pretested and refined for content appropriateness and effectiveness.

description: As part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will improve measurements of the cosmological distance scale by applying the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) method to quasar samples. eBOSS will adopt two approaches to target quasars over 7500 sq. deg. First, a "CORE" quasar sample will combine optical selection in ugriz using a likelihood-based routine called XDQSOz, with a mid-IR-optical color-cut. eBOSS CORE selection (to g < 22 OR r < 22) should return ~ 70 quasars per sq. deg. at redshifts 0.9 < z < 2.2 and ~7 z > 2.1 quasars per sq. deg. Second, a selection based on variability in multi-epoch imaging from the Palomar Transient Factory should recover an additional ~3-4 z > 2.1 quasars per sq. deg. to g < 22.5. A linear model of how imaging systematics affect target density recovers the angular distribution of eBOSS CORE quasars over 96.7% (76.7%) of the SDSS North (South) Galactic Cap area. The eBOSS CORE quasar sample should thus be sufficiently dense and homogeneous over 0.9 < z < 2.2 to yield the first few-percent-level BAO constraint near z~1.5. eBOSS quasars at z > 2.1 will be used to improve BAO measurements in the Lyman-alpha Forest. Beyond its key cosmological goals, eBOSS should be the next-generation quasar survey, comprising > 500,000 new quasars and > 500,000 uniformly selected spectroscopically confirmed 0.9 < z < 2.2 quasars. At the conclusion of eBOSS, the SDSS will have provided unique spectra of over 800,000 quasars.

description: Mobility, broadly defined as movement in all of its forms from ambulation to transportation, is critical to supporting optimal aging. This article describes two projects to develop a framework and a set of priority actions designed to promote mobility among community-dwelling older adults. Project 1 involved a concept-mapping process to solicit and organize action items into domains from a broad group of stakeholders to create the framework. Concept mapping uses qualitative group processes with multivariate statistical analysis to represent the ideas visually through maps. A snowball technique was used to identify stakeholders (n = 211). A 12-member steering committee developed a focus prompt, “One specific action that can lead to positive change in mobility for older adults in the United States is …” Project 2 included a Delphi technique (n = 43) with three iterations to prioritize four to six items using results from the concept mapping rating process. Project 1 resulted in 102 items across nine domains (Research to Practice, Independence and Engagement, Built Environment and Safety, Transportation, Policy, Housing and Accessibility, Community Supports, Training, and Coordinated Action). The number of items ranged from 6 to 18 per domain. Project 2 resulted in agreement on four items that reflect the importance of promoting environmental strategies through collaborative initiatives aimed at planning and best practices focusing on environmental enhancements or transit, training of professionals, and integration of mobility into state and local public health plans. These findings can be applied to support coordinated, multidisciplinary research and practice to promote mobility among older adults.

description: Podcasting is an emerging technology, and previous interventions have shown promising results using theory-based podcast for weight loss among overweight and obese individuals. This study investigated whether constructs of social cognitive theory and information processing theories (IPTs) mediate the effect of a podcast intervention on weight loss among overweight individuals. Data are from Pounds off Digitally, a study testing the efficacy of two weight loss podcast interventions (control podcast and theory-based podcast). Path models were constructed (n = 66). The IPTs—elaboration likelihood model, information control theory, and cognitive load theory—mediated the effect of a theory-based podcast on weight loss. The intervention was significantly associated with all IPTs. Information control theory and cognitive load theory were related to elaboration, and elaboration was associated with weight loss. Social cognitive theory constructs did not mediate weight loss. Future podcast interventions grounded in theory may be effective in promoting weight loss.

description: Spin-transfer-torque magnetic random access memory (STT-MRAM) attracts extensive attentions due to its non-volatility, high density and low power consumption. The core device in STT-MRAM is CoFeB/MgO-based magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), which possesses a high tunnel magnetoresistance ratio as well as a large value of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). It has been experimentally proven that a capping layer coating on CoFeB layer is essential to obtain a strong PMA. However, the physical mechanism of such effect remains unclear. In this paper, we investigate the origin of the PMA in MgO/CoFe/metallic capping layer structures by using a first-principles computation scheme. The trend of PMA variation with different capping materials agrees well with experimental results. We find that interfacial PMA in the three-layer structures comes from both the MgO/CoFe and CoFe/capping layer interfaces, which can be analyzed separately. Furthermore, the PMAs in the CoFe/capping layer interfaces are analyzed through resolving the magnetic anisotropy energy by layer and orbital. The variation of PMA with different capping materials is attributed to the different hybridizations of both d and p orbitals via spin-orbital coupling. This work can significantly benefit the research and development of nanoscale STT-MRAM.

Ayushman Bharat: An Interplay of the Rights-based approach and Welfarism
Creators: name: Rajshree

Subjects: Ayushman Bharat, National Health Policy, Privatization, Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana

description: The study aims to analyse the Ayushman Bharat Scheme as interplay of the rights-based approach and welfarism, determine the feasibility of Universal Health Coverage, ascertain the effects of ‘profit-sector’ inclusion and understand its role-play in the pandemic of COVID-19. The Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Scheme has been viewed by many as a populist scheme favoring the private sector. It has been exemplified as the world’s largest scheme with financial protection of coverage up to five lakh per family per year with its focus on the ‘vulnerable and deprived population’ based on the Socio-economic Caste Census. The scheme seeks to achieve universal health coverage through a partnership between the public and the private sector and cooperative federalism, claiming to overcome the loopholes of the subsumed Rashtriya Suraksha Bima Yojana. A review of literature is adopted as a research methodology to ascertain and analyse the Ayushman Bharat Scheme in the paradigm of the rights-based approach. The review will specifically search, identify, analyse and synthesize the different areas of the scheme. Descriptive and Inferential Statistics based on secondary research has been used to validate the analysis thus drawn from the findings. Based on the findings, it can be stated that Ayushman Bharat National Health Protection Scheme is a policy fulfilling Article 21 and Directive Principle of State Policy Article 41, providing financial protection to ‘vulnerable and deprived population.’ Universal Health Coverage will face a great deal of challenge given the shortfall of rural infrastructure and specialist doctors and will thus increase the burden on urban healthcare institutions. Though public-private partnership has been developed to assist and achieve the goal of universal health coverage, the ‘profit-sector’ has been accused of corruption, unnecessary and costlier services. As an effect of COVID-19, there have been lower claims of AB-PMJAY in public healthcare institutions, while the footfall has increased in the private hospitals, mainly because many government hospitals have been converted to ‘COVID hospitals’, due to fear of transmission and the quality and wide range of treatments provided by the private health sector.
Warped Weyl fermion partition functions

description: Warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) are a novel class of non-relativistic theories. A simple, yet non-trivial, example of such theory is a massive Weyl fermion in $(1+1)$-dimensions, which we study in detail. We derive general properties of the spectrum and modular properties of partition functions of WCFTs. The periodic (Ramond) sector of this fermionic system is non-trivial, and we build two novel partition functions for this sector which have no counterpart in a CFT$_2$. The thermodynamical properties of WCFTs are revisited in the canonical and micro-canonical ensemble.

Il primato del disegno nell’architettura italiana del secondo Novecento

description: Among the possible declinations of the practice of drawing, two prevalent attitudes emerge in architecture, both generating different approaches to the project and divergent fields of research. We could in fact distinguish a fantastic aproach to the practice of drawing from a geometric approach, which corresponds to an evident mathematization of the architectural object and to the impulse towards the measurability and controllability of Cartesian space. This distinction is based on the assumption that exists a substantial difference between conceiving the drawing as a form of representation (more or less autonomous), and conceiving the project itself as a drawing, or as a search for order, or collocatio, investigated through the tool of geometry. In this paper this second modality will be discussed; a modality which doesn’t distinguish the domain of drawing from the domain of one’s own idea of architecture: the triangular-based parallelepipeds of Polesello, the rarefied primary geometries of Costantino Dardi, the obsessive modular repetitions of Franco Purini, remain in fact among the most suggestive prefigurations that the Italian architectural language has ever known, to the point that today we cannot casually denounce the aporias of this approach, without simultaneously asking ourselves what, from this season of ‘divine geometries’, we can inherit for the future.

description: We study out-of equilibrium properties of a quantum dot in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas. By means of single electron counting experiments, we measure the distribution of work and dissipated heat of the driven quantum dot and relate these quantities to the equilibrium free energy change, as it has been proposed by C. Jarzynski [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf78}, 2690 (1997)]. We discuss the influence of the degeneracy of the quantized energy state on the free energy change as well as its relation to the tunnel rates between the dot and the reservoir.
