description: Background: Leprosy is a neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae that mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes. Mathematical models and statistical methodology could have a role to play in decision-making for maintaining the gains in elimination programs. Diverse prognostic modeling studies of leprosy cases have been reported in the literature, but there are distinct approaches and settings for predicting the cases being proposed. The purpose of this study is to complete a scoping review to identify and synthesize prognostic modeling studies of leprosy cases. Methods: A scoping review methodology will be applied following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and will be reports according to PRISMA-ScR. We will perform a systematic search from inception until June 2021 and we will include the following electronic databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Lilacs. Data will be extracted and recorded on a calibrated predefined data form and will be presented in a tabular form accompanied by a descriptive summary. The Prediction model study Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST) will be used.

description: The global shortage of human resources for health (HRH) especially in low-middle-income countries with limited health resources hinders the achievement of universal health coverage related to the sustainable development goal. In the last decade community health volunteers have become vital to achieving universal health coverage. However, it is unclear what information is available on the experiences of community health volunteers and the challenges they encounter working as community resource persons for behaviour change. What do CHVs report as challenges of their work and how do they manage these? What lessons can be learned from the experiences of community health volunteers? This protocol describe a review of the literature to map evidence on community health volunteer experience in sub-saharan Africa.

On the reception of Cicero's Tusculan disputations in the region of Liège from the 9th to the 11th century
Creators: name: Begley, William Edmund Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: The study of reception of classical works often neglects material evidence, such as features of the physical manuscripts of the works. In the case of Cicero's philosophical work the Tusculan Disputations, an 11th-century manuscript from the abbey of St. Peter in Gembloux (Brussels MS 5348-52) contains among its marginalia an extensive system of critical signs. An examination both of these critical signs and of quotations from other authors of the region and period reveals that the Tusculans were read and understood from the 9th to the 11th century in part as a source of quotations and anecdotes on topics ranging from the nature of the soul to the customs of the Spartans to biographical details of the Greek philosophers.
Effect of Realistic Boundary Conditions on the Behaviour of Cross-Laminated Timber Elements Subjected to Simulated Blast Loads

description: Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an emerging engineered wood product in North America. Past research effort to establish the behaviour of CLT under extreme loading conditions has focussed CLT slabs with idealized simply-supported boundary conditions. Connections between the wall and the floor systems above and below are critical to fully describing the overall behaviour of CLT structures when subjected to blast loads. The current study investigates the effects of “realistic” boundary conditions on the behaviour of cross-laminated timber walls when subjected to simulated out-of-plane blast loads. The methodology followed in the current research consists of experimental and analytical components. The experimental component was conducted in the Blast Research Laboratory at the University of Ottawa, where shock waves were applied to the specimens. Configurations with seismic detailing were considered, in order to evaluate whether existing structures that have adequate capacities to resist high seismic loads would also be capable of resisting a blast load with reasonable damage. In addition, typical connections used in construction to resist gravity and lateral loads, as well as connections designed specifically to resist a given blast load were investigated. The results indicate that the detailing of the connections appears to significantly affect the behaviour of the CLT slab. Typical detailing for platform construction where long screws connect the floor slab to the wall in end grain performed poorly and experienced brittle failure through splitting in the perpendicular to grain direction in the CLT. Bearing type connections generally behaved well and yielding in the fasteners and/or angles brackets meant that a significant portion of the energy was dissipated there reducing the energy imparted on the CLT slab significantly. Hence less displacement and thereby damage was observed in the slab. The study also concluded that using simplified tools such as single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) models together with current available material models for CLT is not sufficient to adequately describe the behaviour and estimate the damage. More testing and development of models with higher fidelity are required in order to develop robust tools for the design of CLT element subjected to blast loading.

The chlorophyll[-alpha] maximum of the Neuse River Estuary, North Carolina, U.S.A.: nutrient dynamics and trophic interaction at the most productive region of the system
Creators: name: Waggener, Amy Leigh
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Often, in the eutrophied subtropical lagoonal Neuse River Estuary, a relatively large proportion of the total phytoplankton is located in a compact area, the chlorophyll alpha maximum (Cmax). This productive zone was investigated using bioassays to determine its response to nutrient pulses (nitrogen and phosphorus) and as a conduit of trophic transfer to mesozooplankton, especially copepods. The Cmax and nearby waters generally were nitrogen limited. Both nitrogen and phosphorus addition caused phytoplankton carbon to nutrient molar ratios to decrease accordingly when that nutrient was limiting and often when it was not. Nauplii were identified as potentially important NRE grazers. Phytoplankton elemental content was found to influence trophic transfer, with high nutritional quality phytoplankton necessary for, but not guaranteeing, copepod success. Both nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment influenced copepod growth and abundance. In the context of water quality, relationships between eutrophication, phytoplankton distribution, copepod food quality, and carbon and nutrient fate are discussed.

description: The year 2020 will firmly be embedded in the memory of human beings in this country and the world’s entire population. Unlike the previous year, this year offers a lot of challenges, hurdles, and hardships for everyone in various forms. While some might not have been severely impacted, others have been directly hit by this unprecedented event. A similar phenomenon occurred not only in Malaysia and ASEAN countries but the entire world but received the same fate due to the unexpected advent of the Covid-19 virus. To prevent the virus from getting worse and infecting many populations, enforcement of curfews was one of the alternatives used by most countries. Nevertheless, this double-edged sword action caused the economy of some countries to cripple.

description: We report the discovery of a new transiting planet from the WASP survey. WASP-135b is a hot Jupiter with a radius of 1.30 pm 0.09 Rjup, a mass of 1.90 pm 0.08 Mjup and an orbital period of 1.401 days. Its host is a Sun-like star, with a G5 spectral type and a mass and radius of 0.98 pm 0.06 Msun and 0.96 pm 0.05 Rsun respectively. The proximity of the planet to its host means that WASP-135b receives high levels of insolation, which may be the cause of its inflated radius. Additionally, we find weak evidence of a transfer of angular momentum from the planet to its star.

title: Kategorisierung von Sprachfördermaßnahmen im Mathematikunterricht nach didaktischen Aspekten
Creators: name: Jagersberger, Astrid
Year: 2023

description: Der Sprachgebrauch in der Schule ist sehr vielfältig. Neben anderen Erstsprachen als Deutsch kommen auch unterschiedliche Register der Sprache zum Einsatz. Die vorherrschenden Register sind: die Alltags-, Bildungs- und Fachsprache. Sprachförderung ist die Aufgabe alle Unterrichtsfächer. Viele Studien bestätigen einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen Sprachkompetenzen und Fachkompetenzen, auch im Fach Mathematik gilt dieser Zusammenhang. In der Sprachförderung gibt es mehrere unterschiedliche Ansätze, der ganzheitliche und der fokussierte Ansatz stehen sich beispielsweise gegenüber. Weiters stehen sich der defensive und der offensive Ansatz gegenüber. Beim defensiven Ansatz werden sprachliche Schwierigkeiten vermieden, während beim offensiven Ansatz Schwierigkeiten von Seiten der Lehrenden gemeinsam mit den Lernenden beseitigt werden. Zur didaktischen Umsetzung der Sprachförderung im Unterricht gibt es verschiedene Modelle unter anderem die dialogische, die prozedurenorientierte und die literale Didaktik. Je nachdem welchen Ansatz oder welches Modell man einsetzen möchte, eignen sich unterschiedliche Methoden dafür. In Österreich hat das Thema Sprachförderung im Mathematikunterricht in der Ausbildung von Lehrkräften bis jetzt eine untergeordnete Rolle. In der Arbeit soll mithilfe von Literatur folgende Frage beantwortet werden: Welche Methode(n) eignen sich für welchen theoretischen Ansatz bzw. für welches didaktische Modell der Sprachförderung am besten?
Dental Caries Risk Varies Among Sub-Groups of Children with Special Health Care Needs

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: Currently, caries risk assessment tools consider all children with special health care needs (CSHCN) in tandem; we tested this notion by examining caries risk among and within four distinct CSHCN groups: Autism (ASD), Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), Cerebral Palsy (CP); Down Syndrome (DS); and a control (healthy) group. Methods: We assembled a retrospective longitudinal cohort of 150 patients (30 in each group) of a private pediatric dental practice and extracted information on caries diagnoses and 21 postulated caries risk factors from clinical records. We used bivariate tests and multivariable Poisson regression modeling to estimate caries incidence rates (IR), ratios (IRRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: CSHCN had higher caries burden and caries risk (IR=0.049 per person-year) compared to controls (IR=0.033). Caries risk was nearly double among CHD [IRR =1.9 (95% CI=0.72-5.2) vs. controls] compared to DS [IRR=1.04 (95% CI=0.38-2.9)]. ‘Visible cavities or fillings’ was the only significant caries risk factor, yet it did not alter the between-CSHCN group (i.e., CHD>DS, controls) caries risk heterogeneity. Conclusions: CSHCN is a heterogeneous group that must be treated in a precise, diagnosis-specific manner in caries risk assessment. Caries experience in the primary dentition was the only significant predictor of permanent dentition caries incidence.

description: Maryland Governor Parris N. Glendening's Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation initiative represents the nation's first statewide, incentive-based effort to reverse the costly, environmentally damaging and often unsightly patterns of development known as "sprawl. " The initiative is already strengthening older towns and cities; permanently preserving some of the state's most beautiful and valuable environmental resources; and saving taxpayers the cost of building redundant infrastructure to support sprawl development. Maryland's innovation is its commitment and determination to use the state's $21 billion annual budget as an incentive to encourage better planned, less costly and more environmentally sensitive growth. This article describes the development trends in Maryland that prompted Governor Glendening to initiate the Smart Growth effort, and how the program works.

Le Maryland innove en consacrant un budget annuel de quelque 21 milliards de dollars à encourager un aménagement plus sain, moins coûteux et mieux planifié. Le présent article décrit le fonctionnement du programme et esquisse le contexte qui a amené le gouverneur Glendening à le mettre en oeuvre.

description: Multiple color stripes have been employed for structured light-based rapid range imaging to increase the number of uniquely identifiable stripes. The use of multiple color stripes poses two problems: (1) object surface color may disturb the stripe color and (2) the number of adjacent stripes required for identifying a stripe may not be maintained near surface discontinuities such as occluding boundaries. In this paper, we present methods to alleviate those problems. Log-gradient filters are employed to reduce the influence of object colors, and color stripes in two and three directions are used to increase the chance of identifying correct stripes near surface discontinuities. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods.

description: Modified gravity theories often contain a scalar field of gravitational strength which interacts with matter. We examine constraints on the range and the coupling strength of a scalar gravitational degree of freedom using a subset of current data that can be safely analyzed within the linear perturbation theory. Using a model-independent implementation of scalar-tensor theories in MGCAMB in terms of two functions of the scale factor describing the mass and the coupling of the scalar degree of freedom, we derive constraints on the $f(R)$, generalized chameleon, Symmetron and Dilaton models. Since most of the large scale structure data available today is from relatively low redshifts, only a limited range of observed scales is in the linear regime, leading to relatively weak constraints. We then perform a forecast for a future large scale structure survey, such as Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which will map a significant volume at higher redshifts, and show that it will produce much stronger constraints on scalar interactions in specific models. We also perform a principal component analysis and find that future surveys should be able to provide tight constraints on several eigenmodes of the scalar mass evolution.

description: The financial crisis in college athletics has manifested itself in a number of ways - Hofstra and Northeastern have eliminated their football programs; the University of Cal is cutting two sports after university-wide deficits. To ease the strain, university presidents told the Knight Commission they wanted to increase revenue sources rather than overhauling the current system. In the current system, ticket sales account for the highest source of revenue. Football and men's basketball account for most sales, but so-called non-revenue sports cannot be overlooked. This study examined what strategies ticket offices are using to increase sales to non-revenue sports. While some strategies such as online ticketing are prevalent, results suggest most ticket offices are not using many of the sales strategies proscribed by literature.

description: For decades, emotion perception researchers have used photographs or videos of isolated emotionally expressive individuals to probe the recognition of well-known basic emotions (e.g., anger or sadness; Bänziger, Grandjean, & Scherer, 2009). But only very few researchers have used displays of emotionally expressive individuals in meaningful interpersonal contexts in order probe the recognition of well-known social emotions (e.g., envy; Silver & Sabini, 1978). In consequence, it remains uncertain to which degree the same emotionally expressive targets can be perceived as expressing different (basic and/or social) emotions depending on whether they are shown in isolation or in the company of others. The current study aims to address this oversight by developing a set of stimuli (to be used in future research in our labs) that can induce a systematic shift from basic to social emotion perception based on the social context in which identical targets are presented.

description: We present the results of the multi-frequency scatter time measurements for ten radio pulsars that were relatively less studied in this regard. The observations were performed using the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope at the observing frequencies of 150, 235, 325, 610 and 1060~MHz. The data we collected, in conjunction with the results from other frequencies published earlier, allowed us to estimate the scatter time frequency scaling indices for eight of these sources. For PSR J1852$-$0635 it occurred that its profile undergoes a strong evolution with frequency, which makes the scatter time measurements difficult to perform, and for PSR J1835$-$1020 we were able to obtain reliable pulse broadening estimates at only two frequencies. We used the eight frequency scaling indices to estimate both: the electron density fluctuation strengths along the respective lines-of-sight, and the standardized amount of scattering at the frequency of 1 GHz. Combining the new data with the results published earlier by Lewandowski et al., we revisited the scaling index versus the dispersion measure (DM) relation, and similarly to some of the earlier studies we show that the average value of the scaling index deviates from the theoretical predictions for large DM pulsars, however it reaches the magnitude claimed by Löhmer et al. only for pulsars with very large DMs ($>$650 pc cm$^{-3}$). We also investigated the dependence of the scattering strength indicators on the pulsar distance, DM, and the position of the source in the Milky Way Galaxy.

description: Using learning objectives to guide course design is often considered an educational best practice, but little research exists that explores how students use them over time and across courses. We surveyed students on their use and perceived value of learning objectives as the semester progressed across four science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, examined students’ ability to match exam questions with learning objectives, and analyzed how their course performance related to these qualities. We also gathered instructors’ information on their implementation of learning objectives in these courses. We identified distinct disciplinary differences both in students’ use and perceived benefit of learning objectives and in instructors’ implementation of them. Students in less quantitatively focused courses, i.e., biology and organic chemistry, reported valuing and using learning objectives more than students in more quantitatively focused math and physics courses. Students’ ability to match learning objectives with exam questions, however, positively correlated with exam score and final course grade in all our study courses. Our results have implications for considering disciplinary practices for use of learning objectives as instructors design and implement courses, educational researchers plan studies, and assessment specialists formulate institutional assessment plans.

description: We report high-resolution spectroscopic observations of WD 1145+017 -- a white dwarf that recently has been found to be transitted by multiple asteroid-sized objects within its tidal radius. We have discovered numerous circumstellar absorption lines with linewidths of $\sim$ 300 km s$^{-1}$ from Mg, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni, possibly from several gas streams produced by collisions among the actively disintegrating objects. The atmosphere of WD 1145+017 is polluted with 11 heavy elements, including O, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Ti, V:, Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni. Evidently, we are witnessing the active disintegration and subsequent accretion of an extrasolar asteroid.

description: This paper describes the atmospheric correction (AC) component of the Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction algorithm (MAIAC) which introduces a new way to compute parameters of the Ross-Thick Li-Sparse (RTLS) Bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), spectral surface albedo and bidirectional reflectance factors (BRF) from satellite measurements obtained by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). MAIAC uses a time series and spatial analysis for cloud detection, aerosol retrievals and atmospheric correction. It implements a moving window of up to 16days of MODIS data gridded to 1km resolution in a selected projection. The RTLS parameters are computed directly by fitting the cloud-free MODIS top of atmosphere (TOA) reflectance data stored in the processing queue. The RTLS retrieval is applied when the land surface is stable or changes slowly. In case of rapid or large magnitude change (as for instance caused by disturbance), MAIAC follows the MODIS operational BRDF/albedo algorithm and uses a scaling approach where the BRDF shape is assumed stable but its magnitude is adjusted based on the latest single measurement. To assess the stability of the surface, MAIAC features a change detection algorithm which analyzes relative change of reflectance in the Red and NIR bands during the accumulation period. To adjust for the reflectance variability with the sun-observer geometry and allow comparison among different days (view geometries), the BRFs are normalized to the fixed view geometry using the RTLS model. An empirical analysis of MODIS data suggests that the RTLS inversion remains robust when the relative change of geometry-normalized reflectance stays below 15%. This first of two papers introduces the algorithm, a second, companion paper illustrates its potential by analyzing MODIS data over a tropical rainforest and assessing errors and uncertainties of MAIAC compared to conventional MODIS products.

description: A numerical accuracy analysis of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) solution based on separation of the diffuse light field into anisotropic and smooth parts is presented. The analysis uses three different algorithms based on the discrete ordinate method (DOM). Two methods, DOMAS and DOM2+, that do not use the truncation of the phase function, are compared against the TMS-method. DOMAS and DOM2+ use the Small-Angle Modification of RTE and the single scattering term, respectively, as anisotropic parts. The TMS method uses the Delta-M method for truncation of the phase function along with the single scattering correction. For reference, a standard discrete ordinate method, DOM, is also included in analysis. The obtained results for cases with high scattering anisotropy show that at low number of streams (16, 32) only DOMAS provides an accurate solution in the aureole area. Outside aureole, the convergence and accuracy of DOMAS, and TMS is found to be approximately similar: DOMAS was found more accurate in cases with coarse aerosol and liquid water cloud models, except low optical depth, while the TMS showed better results in case of ice cloud.

description: The gas pixel detector (GPD) dedicated for photoelectric X-ray polarimetry is selected as the focal plane detector for the ESA medium-class mission concept X-ray Imaging and Polarimetry Explorer (XIPE). Here we show the design, assembly, and preliminary test results of a small GPD for the purpose of gas mixture optimization needed for the phase A study of XIPE. The detector is assembled in house at Tsinghua University following a design by the INFN-Pisa group. The improved detector design results in a good uniformity for the electric field. Filled with pure dimethyl ether (DME) at 0.8 atm, the measured energy resolution is 18% at 6 keV and inversely scales with the square root of the X-ray energy. The measured modulation factor is well consistent with that from simulation, up to ~0.6 above 6 keV. The residual modulation is found to be 0.30% +/- 0.15% at 6 keV for the whole sensitive area, which can be translated into a systematic error of less than 1% for polarization measurement at a confidence level of 99%. The position resolution of the detector is about 80 um in FWHM, consistent with previous studies and sufficient for XIPE requirements.

Affleck-Dine baryogenesis just after inflation

description: We propose a new scenario of Affleck-Dine baryogenesis where a flat direction in the MSSM generates B-L asymmetry just after the end of inflation. The resulting amount of baryon asymmetry is independent of low-energy supersymmetric models but is dependent on inflation models. We consider the hybrid and chaotic inflation models and find that reheating temperature is required to be higher than that in the conventional scenario of Affleck-Dine baryogenesis. In particular, non-thermal gravitino-overproduction problem is naturally avoided in the hybrid inflation model. Our results imply that Affleck-Dine baryogenesis can be realized in a broader range of supersymmetry and inflation models than expected in the literature.

description: The Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm makes aerosol retrievals from MODIS data at 1 km resolution providing information about the fine scale aerosol variability. This information is required in different applications such as urban air quality analysis, aerosol source identification etc. The quality of high resolution aerosol data is directly linked to the quality of cloud mask, in particular detection of small (sub-pixel) and low clouds. This work continues research in this direction, describing a technique to detect small clouds and introducing the "smoke test" to discriminate the biomass burning smoke from the clouds. The smoke test relies on a relative increase of aerosol absorption at MODIS wavelength 0.412 ?m as compared to 0.47–0.67 ?m due to multiple scattering and enhanced absorption by organic carbon released during combustion. This general principle has been successfully used in the OMI detection of absorbing aerosols based on UV measurements. This paper provides the algorithm detail and illustrates its performance on two examples of wildfires in US Pacific North-West and in Georgia/Florida of 2007.
