description: Coral reefs in the southern Persian/Arabian Gulf have become increasingly degraded in the past two decades, mainly due to recurrent mass coral bleaching events. The recovery of these reefs will be largely contingent upon the arrival and settlement of coral larvae and their post settlement growth and survival. Spatial and temporal patterns of coral settlement were quantified on 10 sites spanning >350 km of the southern Gulf using settlement tiles for two years when consecutive bleaching events occurred. Coral settlement was highly seasonal, with peak settlement occurring in summer each year (>95% of spat), with the remainder of settlement in autumn. Coral settlement was >2-fold greater in the first year (928 spat) compared to the second year (397 spat) representing overall settlement densities of 95 m−2 yr−1 versus 40 m−2 yr−1. The dramatic declines in larval settlement between years suggests bleaching-related impacts on fecundity occurred during the gametogenic cycle late in the first year, as well as impaired survivorship of larvae and/or spat during the second year when severe bleaching coincided with the peak settlement period. Poritids and merulinids (‘others’) comprised 4% and 94% of the spat, respectively, while acroporids were virtually absent (1 recorded spat), suggesting the continued extirpation of this formerly dominant group and a continuing shift towards more stress-tolerant assemblages. Settlement rates in the southern Gulf are low in comparison to other marginal reef environments, and the bleaching-related suppression of settlement observed here suggests that larval supply is unlikely to be sufficient to support recovery of these increasingly degraded habitats. Given the increasing frequency of bleaching events in the southern Gulf the prognosis for the future of regional reefs is grim.

description: Let $F$ be a totally real field in which a fixed prime $p$ is inert, and let $E$ be a CM extension of $F$ in which $p$ splits. We fix two positive integers $r,s \in \mathbb N$. We investigate the Tate conjecture on the special fiber of $G(U(r,s) \times U(s,r))$-Shimura variety. We construct cycles which we conjecture to generate the Tate classes and verify our conjecture in the case of $G(U(1,s) \times U(s,1))$. We also discuss the general conjecture regarding special cycles on the special fibers of unitary Shimura varieties.

description: Asbestos is a mineral that is carcinogenic to humans. Its use has been banned in many occidental countries, yet it is still produced in the U.S. and materials that contain asbestos remain in many occupational settings and indoor environments. Despite the fact that asbestos carcinogenicity is well known, there is scant literature on its specific effects with regard to small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine SCLC risk among workers exposed to asbestos. A systematic search of the literature was conducted to identify studies which reported occupational exposure to asbestos and SCLC-related deaths and/or incidence. We identified seven case-control studies that included 3,231 SCLC cases; four studies reported smoking-adjusted risks. A significantly increased risk of SCLC (pooled OR 1.89; 95% CI, 1.25-2.86) was observed on pooling studies on men (six studies) that displayed moderate heterogeneity (I2=46.0%). Overall, our synthesis suggests that occupational exposure to asbestos significantly increases the risk of SCLC on men.

description: COVID-19 has had a devastating impact worldwide, including in care homes where there have been substantial numbers of cases among a very vulnerable population. A key mechanism for managing exposure to the virus and targeting interventions is contact tracing. Unfortunately, environments such as care homes that were most catastrophically impacted by COVID-19 are also those least amenable to traditional contact tracing. A promising alternative to recall and smartphone-based contact tracing approaches is the use of discrete wearable devices that exploit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Long-Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) technologies. However, the real-world performance of these devices in the context of contact tracing is uncertain. A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of a wearables system that is based on BLE and LoRaWAN technologies. In each experiment, the number of successful contacts was recorded and the physical distance between two contacts was compared to a calculated distance using the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) to determine the precision, error rate, and duration of proximity. The overall average system contact detection success rate was measured as 75.5%; when wearables were used as per the manufacturer’s guidelines the contact detection success rate increased to 81.5%, but when obstructed by everyday objects such as clothing or inside a bag the contact detection success rate was only 64.2%. The calculated distance using RSSI was close to the physical distance in the absence of obstacles. However, in the presence of typical obstacles found in care home settings, the reliability of detection decreased, and the calculated distance usually appeared far from the actual contact point. The results suggest that under real-world conditions there may be a large proportion of contacts that are underestimated or undetected.

description: Background: Randomized controlled trials evaluated monoclonal antibodies for the treatment (Study 2067) and prevention (Study 2069) of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Household contacts of the infected index case in Study 2067 were enrolled in Study 2069 and prospectively followed; these cohorts provided a unique opportunity to evaluate correlates of transmission, specifically viral load. Methods: This post hoc analysis was designed to identify and evaluate correlates of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, adjusting for potential confounding factors related to source SARS-CoV-2 viral load and risk of SARS-CoV-2 acquisition in this population. Correlates of transmission were evaluated in potential transmission pairs (any infected household member plus susceptible household contact). Results: In total, 943 participants were included. In multivariable regression, 2 potential correlates were determined to have a statistically significant (P <. 05) association with transmission risk. A 10-fold increase in viral load was associated with a 40% increase in odds of transmission; sharing a bedroom with the index participant was associated with a 199% increase in odds of transmission. Conclusions: In this prospective, post hoc analysis that controlled for confounders, the 2 key correlates for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within a household are sharing a bedroom and increased viral load, consistent with increased exposure to the infected individual.

An Ecological Political Economy of Climate Urbanism in Ottawa

description: Over the past few decades, decreased federal and provincial funding for municipal services and infrastructure has constrained municipal budgets and led to competitive, entrepreneurial styles of municipal governance. These structural changes have coincided with growing public demand for municipalities to protect the local environment and take action on climate change. Drawing on discourse analysis, historical research, and interviews, this thesis applies an ecological political economy (EPE) perspective to examine the influence of federal and provincial neoliberal policies on municipal environmental governance in Ottawa. The main argument of this thesis is that amidst global economic instability and a worsening climate crisis, the City is shifting to a ‘climate urbanism’ policy approach that positions Ottawa to compete globally for labour and capital investment to fund ‘low-carbon’ and ‘climate-resilient’ technological and infrastructure fixes. Strategically adopting discourses from global climate science, ‘climate urbanism’ is the City’s current attempt to reconcile ongoing fiscal challenges with worsening environmental problems and a neoliberal economic growth imperative. Over the past three decades, the City has co-opted environmental discourses to legitimize economic growth while externalizing the problematic consequences of this growth, contributing to deepening social and ecological crises. Case studies on the People’s Official Plan and the Herongate redevelopment demonstrate how Ottawa residents are contesting the City’s ‘climate urbanism’ by developing and advocating for grassroots policies that recentre social and ecological needs.

title: MCR Pathways' relationship based practice at scale : revolutionising educational outcomes for care-experienced young people
Creators: name: MacRitchie, Iain
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2019

description: Scottish mentoring charity MCR Pathways' founder reflects on the transformational impact relationships and mentoring is having on Scottish care-experienced young people, mentors and organisations in Glasgow and other local authorities in Scotland. Using pioneering embedded partnerships with local authorities and schools, the MCR model is aiming for long term system and culture change to the education system. While focused on the Scottish system, the author took his original motivation from five years of working in the residential care system in England and increasingly from witnessing the same issues in other western countries. The article explores the challenges preventing policy makers from creating a consistent impact on the educational outcome of Scotland's most disadvantaged young people relative to their peers. With young people leading the debate, it proposes simple changes to Scottish corporate parenting and widening access policies and practices, based on statistical evidence and 12 years of powerful stories.

description: Intercellular communication is essential for growing and differentiating in multicellular organisms by spreading the signal from cell to cell. Despite its importance, the molecular background is less discovered due to the lack of data. This gap started to be addressed with the appearance of single-cell omics approaches which provide an insight among others into the gene expression of individual cells. We have developed a method to predict and compare cell-cell signalling using single-cell RNAseq data from colon. Transcriptomic data alone is not capable to connect the cells, a reliable network resource is needed to mediate the signal via protein-protein interactions between the source and target cells. Here we used OmniPath - a resource providing not only intra- and intercellular interactions but also annotations of proteins involved in the interplay of cells - to infer signalling networks among five cell types (regulatory T cell, macrophage, dendritic cell, Goblet cell and myofibroblast) in healthy colon and during ulcerative colitis. Results show that there are significant differences in the type of communication (ligand-receptor connections, adherens junctions, etc.) comparing diverse conditions involving a changed downstream effect in the target cells. In conclusions, our pipeline is able to predict and analyse cell-cell interactions highlighting the differences in healthy and diseased states.

description: In this paper, we present data for the lognormal distributions of spike rates, synaptic weights and intrinsic excitability (gain) for neurons in various brain areas, such as auditory or visual cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, striatum, midbrain nuclei. We find a remarkable consistency of heavy-tailed, specifically lognormal, distributions for rates, weights and gains in all brain areas examined. The difference between strongly recurrent and feed-forward connectivity (cortex vs. striatum and cerebellum), neurotransmitter (GABA (striatum) or glutamate (cortex)) or the level of activation (low in cortex, high in Purkinje cells and midbrain nuclei) turns out to be irrelevant for this feature. Logarithmic scale distribution of weights and gains appears to be a general, functional property in all cases analyzed. We then created a generic neural model to investigate adaptive learning rules that create and maintain lognormal distributions. We conclusively demonstrate that not only weights, but also intrinsic gains, need to have strong Hebbian learning in order to produce and maintain the experimentally attested distributions. This provides a solution to the long-standing question about the type of plasticity exhibited by intrinsic excitability.

description: Evidence for post-stroke fatigue management is limited. We aimed to explore how Australian health professionals assess and assist fatigue management. Our objectives were to identify fatigue assessment tools and interventions used, explore clinician’s confidence managing fatigue and explore whether management of post-stroke fatigue differs from management of fatigue related to other conditions. An online cross-sectional survey was completed by Australian health professionals (n = 60) providing services to people with fatigue. Analysis of open-ended questions identified common interventions and descriptive statistics were calculated for closed and dichotomized questions. Routine use of formal fatigue assessment tools was low (17%, n = 10). Most respondents reporting use of the Fatigue Impact Scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale and Fatigue Severity Scale. To address fatigue, respondents reported providing energy optimization strategies, education, and exercise interventions in clinical practice. Less frequently reported interventions were strategies to adapt tasks, sleep hygiene, psychology, nutrition, and pharmacology interventions. Respondents were “moderately” confident managing post-stroke fatigue. Respondents did not report differences between how they manage post-stroke fatigue and fatigue present in other conditions. Few Australian health professionals formally assess post-stroke fatigue. Management is multidisciplinary and based on evidence from fatigue management in other conditions.Implications for rehabilitationMost health professionals are not routinely using formal assessment tools for fatigue, possibly due to a lack of consensus on best practice in research.Common strategies recommended by health professionals include energy optimisation strategies, education and exercise.Comprehensive guidelines for post-stroke fatigue management are yet to be established.Health professionals should assess post-stroke fatigue using a validated tool to ensure an individualised approach to management based on the current available clinical guidelines.

description: To develop and cross-culturally adapt a Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Falls Behavioral Scale (FaB-Brazil) and to verify its psychometric properties. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation process of the scale followed standard guidelines. The FaB-Brazil scale was applied to 93 community-dwelling older people. Cronbach’s alpha was calculated to evaluate internal consistency and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to evaluate interrater and test–retest reliability. The standard error of measurement (SEM), minimal detectable change (MDC), ceiling and floor effects, convergent and discriminative validity were evaluated. A significance level of .05 was set for statistical analyses. Internal consistency was moderate (α = 0.73). An excellent inter-rater (ICC = 0.93; p < 0.001) and a good test–retest (ICC = 0.79; p < 0.001) reliability were found. The SEM was 0.27 and MDC was 0.53. Neither ceiling nor floor effects were found. Convergent validity was established by the positive correlations between the FaB-Brazil scale, age, and functional mobility, and by the negative correlations between the FaB-Brazil scale and balance confidence, community mobility and EuroQol-5D (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found between males and females and between non-fallers and fallers. Our results offer evidence for the reliability and validity of the FaB-Brazil scale for community-dwelling older people.Implications for RehabilitationFall-related behaviors should be part of the fall risk assessment of community-dwelling older people.The Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Falls Behavioral Scale (FaB-Brazil) is reliable and valid for assessing fall-related behaviors in community-dwelling older people.The FaB-Brazil scale may be used to raise awareness about potential fall hazards and to guide fall prevention programs.

description: A central issue of the science of complex systems is the quantitative characterization of complexity. In the present work we address this issue by resorting to information geometry. Actually we propose a constructive way to associate to a - in principle any - network a differentiable object (a Riemannian manifold) whose volume is used to define an entropy. The effectiveness of the latter to measure networks complexity is successfully proved through its capability of detecting a classical phase transition occurring in both random graphs and scale--free networks, as well as of characterizing small Exponential random graphs, Configuration Models and real networks.

description: We propose a method of measuring extremely weak magnetic fields in the intergalactic medium prior to and during the epoch of cosmic reionization. The method utilizes the Larmor precession of spin-polarized neutral hydrogen in the triplet state of the hyperfine transition. This precession leads to a systematic change in the brightness temperature fluctuations of the 21-cm line from the high-redshift universe, and thus the statistics of these fluctuations encode information about the magnetic field the atoms are immersed in. The method is most suited to probing fields that are coherent on large scales; in this paper, we consider a homogenous magnetic field over the scale of the 21-cm fluctuations. Due to the long lifetime of the triplet state of the 21-cm transition, this technique is naturally sensitive to extremely weak field strengths, of order $10^{-19}$ G at a reference redshift of $\sim 20$ (or $10^{-21}$ G if scaled to the present day). Therefore, this might open up the possibility of probing primordial magnetic fields just prior to reionization. If the magnetic fields are much stronger, it is still possible to use this method to infer their direction, and place a lower limit on their strength. In this paper (Paper I in a series on this effect), we perform detailed calculations of the microphysics behind this effect, and take into account all the processes that affect the hyperfine transition, including radiative decays, collisions, and optical pumping by Lyman-$α$ photons. We conclude with an analytic formula for the brightness temperature of linear-regime fluctuations in the presence of a magnetic field, and discuss its limiting behavior for weak and strong fields.

description: We aim to explore spectral signatures of the predicted multi-ion AGN UFOs in the
 broadband X-ray spectra by exploiting an accretion disk wind model in the context of a
 simple magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) framework. We are focused primarily on
 examining the spectral dependences on a number of key physical properties of active
 galactic nuclei (AGNs); i.e. (1) inclination, (2) X-ray photon index, (3) optical/UV-to-
 X-ray strength, (4) wind density gradient along a line of sight, (5) wind density
 normalization and (6) Eddington ratio. Considering primarily radio-quiet Seyferts and
 quasars, multi-ion UFO spectra are systematically calculated as a function of these
 parameters to show that MHD-driven UFOs are likely to imprint a unique asymmetric
 absorption line profile with a pronounced blue tail structure on average. Such a "tell-
 tale" line signature, being almost generic to MHD disk winds due to the intrinsic wind
 kinematics, might be utilized as a diagnostic proxy to potentially differentiate leading
 driving processes among thermally-driven, UV line-driven and MHD-driven scenarios.
 We also demonstrate a high fidelity of microcalorimeter observations in anticipation of
 the upcoming XRISM/Resolve and Athena/X-IFU data by performing spectral
 simulations.

These extensions are derived by applying the well-known Bailey's transform method along with the classical very well-poised summation and transformation theorems for very well-poised hypergeometric functions and the Rakha and Rathie's extension of the Saalschütz's theorem. To show importance and applications of the discovered extensions, a number of special cases are pointed out, which leads not only to the extensions of other classical theorems for very well-poised and well-poised hypergeometric functions but also generate new hypergeometric summations and transformations.

description: The National Confidential Forum is an acknowledgement forum established to capture and communicate the experiences of people in residential/institutional care in Scotland. People provide the Forum with accounts of their childhood experience of care and its longer term impact on their lives. We have heard from more than 150 people of all ages so far and with an analysis of 52 recent testimonies now complete, emerging findings are being prepared for Scottish Government. In practice, testimonies provided to the Forum encapsulate people's personal histories and all stages of care: before, during and after - sometimes long after, allowing us to investigate the legacy effects of care. In this early paper, the role and function of the Forum is explained in union with an exploration of participants' reasons for attending a hearing, and their experiences and benefits of speaking with us.

description: Evidence for post-stroke fatigue management is limited. We aimed to explore how Australian health professionals assess and assist fatigue management. Our objectives were to identify fatigue assessment tools and interventions used, explore clinician’s confidence managing fatigue and explore whether management of post-stroke fatigue differs from management of fatigue related to other conditions. An online cross-sectional survey was completed by Australian health professionals (n = 60) providing services to people with fatigue. Analysis of open-ended questions identified common interventions and descriptive statistics were calculated for closed and dichotomized questions. Routine use of formal fatigue assessment tools was low (17%, n = 10). Most respondents reporting use of the Fatigue Impact Scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale and Fatigue Severity Scale. To address fatigue, respondents reported providing energy optimization strategies, education, and exercise interventions in clinical practice. Less frequently reported interventions were strategies to adapt tasks, sleep hygiene, psychology, nutrition, and pharmacology interventions. Respondents were “moderately” confident managing post-stroke fatigue. Respondents did not report differences between how they manage post-stroke fatigue and fatigue present in other conditions. Few Australian health professionals formally assess post-stroke fatigue. Management is multidisciplinary and based on evidence from fatigue management in other conditions.Implications for rehabilitationMost health professionals are not routinely using formal assessment tools for fatigue, possibly due to a lack of consensus on best practice in research.Common strategies recommended by health professionals include energy optimisation strategies, education and exercise.Comprehensive guidelines for post-stroke fatigue management are yet to be established.Health professionals should assess post-stroke fatigue using a validated tool to ensure an individualised approach to management based on the current available clinical guidelines.

description: A combination of biomaterials and stem cells is being used to improve outcome in reparative medicine. Biomaterials interact with the stem cells through physical and chemical interactions which can change cell properties. The degree in which this affects cell characteristics and their ability to repair damaged tissue has not been investigated yet. The present project aims to determine the proteomic changes of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) encapsulated into collagen hydrogels. To do so, hUC-MSC were encapsulated into collagen hydrogels (2 mg/mL) for 1 week. Cell media was collected for exosome isolation and cells were harvested. Protein expression profiling was performed on 20 µg of total protein of either cells or exosomes via tryptic digestion and LC- MS/MS analysis (MaXis 5G (UHR ESI Qq-TOF)). A fraction of the exosomes was also analyzed by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). First pilot studies aimed to optimize the protocol and maximize cell viability and exosome detection. Viability of the cells seemed to be affected by hydrogel production time and collagenase treatment before cell harvesting. Thus, hydrogels will be produced in smaller amounts and collagenase treatment will be reduced. The ability to detect exosomes is directly proportional to their concentration in the media and, hence, higher numbers need to be produced. Future studies will include the optimizations needed for FACS and LC-MS/MS analyses. Then, identified peptides will be analyzed with the MaxQuant MS/MS search program against Homo sapiens database. Gene ontology annotations and pathway analysis will be performed and changes in protein levels of collagen-encapsulated hUC-MSC will be investigated.

description: We present a detailed study on the properties of single photons generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) when both the spectral and spatial degrees of freedom are controlled by means of filters. Our results show that it is possible to obtain pure heralded single photons with high heralding efficiency despite the use of filters. Moreover, we report an asymmetry on the single photon properties exhibited in type-II SPDC sources that depends on choosing the signal or the idler photon as the heralding one.

description: Aims: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. To date, only symptomatic treatments exist. Collagen-encapsulated human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) are a novel therapeutic approach for PD. Implanted collagen scaffolds may induce a host tissue response. Information on proteomic changes after scaffold implantation would allow to understand pathological mechanisms of disease and also to adjust the device to improve their safety and therapeutic efficacy.

Methods: hUC-MSC were encapsulated into collagen hydrogels and implanted in the striatum of control and PD Sprague Dawley male rats. In a pilot study, only collagen scaffolds were implanted in wild-type rats. 1 or 14 days after implantation, coronal sections of the striatum were dissected using a cryostat and 10 μg of total protein were analyzed on the MaXis 4G (HGR ESI Qq-TOF MS/MS) for profiling. Detected peptides were analyzed with the MASCOT MS/MS search program and Gene Ontology annotations were performed.

Results: In the pilot study, proteins were identified by MaxQuant at 1% false discovery rate (FDR). Identified proteins covered pathways involved in inflammation, striatal pathways and neurological processes such as memory, neuroprotection and neuromodulation. Correlation of LFQ protein values between 5 biological replicates was 0.96. Preliminary statistical analysis show no significant differences between groups.

Conclusions: The first pilot analyses show identification of proteins involved in inflammation, striatal pathways and neurological processes such as memory, neuroprotection and neuromodulation. Also show high reproducibility as shown by Pearson’s correlation analysis between replicates. However, no differences were observed between samples. Thus, longer liquid chromatography gradients will be applied to detect more low abundant proteins.

description: In line with her academic background in the field of international relations and political science, the author studied the international 'deinstitutionalisation' movement as an example of a global norm change. In her recently finalised PhD study, she assessed in how far this norm change has actually reached the ground in the particular case of Cape Town's children's home sector and how local practitioners perceive and evaluate this change from their perspective. This article tells the story of how the motivation for her research developed in the context of her previous studies and work in Cape Town and how she went about conducting her study.

description: Squashed entanglement [Christandl and Winter, J. Math. Phys. 45(3):829-840 (2004)] is a monogamous entanglement measure, which implies that highly extendible states have small value of the squashed entanglement. Here, invoking a recent inequality for the quantum conditional mutual information [Fawzi and Renner, Commun. Math. Phys. 340(2):575-611 (2015)] greatly extended and simplified in various work since, we show the converse, that a small value of squashed entanglement implies that the state is close to a highly extendible state. As a corollary, we establish an alternative proof of the faithfulness of squashed entanglement [Brandao, Christandl and Yard, Commun. Math. Phys. 306:805-830 (2011)]. We briefly discuss the previous and subsequent history of the Fawzi-Renner bound and related conjectures, and close by advertising a potentially far-reaching generalization to universal and functorial recovery maps for the monotonicity of the relative entropy.
description: 14 pages, Springer journal style. In v2 we have removed the claim about multi-party squashed entanglement (see new Appendix B for why) and corrected other smaller mistakes; v3 takes into account the developments since the original posting and has a new structure; v4 final accepted version
