description: Background: Traditional postpartum practices are intended to provide care to mothers, but there is mixed evidence concerning their impact on postpartum depression (PPD). It remains unknown if there is a unique impact of postpartum practices on PPD separately from other types of social support, or if practices differentially affect those with existing prenatal depression. In Pakistan, chilla (Ú†Ù.,Ù‡) is a traditional postpartum practice in which women receive relief from household work, additional familial support, and supplemental food for up to 40 days postpartum. This study aims to understand if chilla protects against PPD independent of other support and whether this relationship varies by prenatal depression status. Methods: Data come from the Bachpan cohort study in rural Pakistan. Chilla participation and social support (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) were assessed at 3 months postpartum. Women were assessed for major depressive episodes (MDE) with the Structured Clinical Interview, DSM-IV and for depression symptom severity with the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in their third trimester and at 6 months postpartum. Adjusted linear mixed models were used to assess the relationship between chilla participation and PPD. Results: Eighty-nine percent of women (N = 786) participated in chilla and almost 70% of those that participated took part in all of chilla's aspects. In adjusted models, chilla participation was inversely related to MDE (OR = 0.56;95%CI = 0.31,1.03) and symptom severity (Mean Difference (MD) =-1.54;95%CI:-2.94,-0.14). Chilla participation was associated with lower odds of MDE (OR = 0.44;95%CI = 0.20,0.97) among those not prenatally depressed and with lower symptom severity among those prenatally depressed (MD =-2.05;95%CI:-3.81,-0.49). Conclusions: Chilla is inversely associated with both MDE and symptom severity at 6 months postpartum above and beyond social support. Specifically, chilla is inversely associated with MDE among those not prenatally depressed and with lower symptom severity among those prenatally depressed. This relationship signals an opportunity for interventions aimed at preventing and treating PPD in this region to draw upon chilla and similar traditional postpartum practices in creating community-based, low-cost, sustainable interventions for maternal mental health.

description: We address the problem of reconstructing quantum theory from the perspective of an agent who makes bets about the outcomes of possible experiments. We build a general Bayesian framework that can be used to organize the agent's beliefs and update them when new information becomes available. Our framework includes as special cases classical and quantum probability theory, as well as other forms of probabilistic reasoning that may arise in future physical theories. Building on this framework, we develop a notion of ideal experiment, which in quantum theory coincides with the notion of projective measurement. We then prove that, in every general Bayesian theory, ideal experiments must satisfy the exclusivity principle, a property of projective measurements that plays a central role in the characterization of quantum correlations. Our result suggests that the set of quantum correlations may be completely characterized in terms of Bayesian consistency conditions.

description: We evaluate the medium-term impacts of treating maternal depression on women’s mental health, financial empowerment, and parenting decisions. We leverage variation induced by a cluster-randomized controlled trial that provided psychotherapy to 903 prenatally depressed mothers in rural Pakistan. It was one of the world’s largest psychotherapy interventions, and it dramatically reduced postpartum depression. Seven years after psychotherapy concluded, we returned to the study site to find that impacts on women’s mental health had persisted, with a 17 percent reduction in depression rates. The intervention also improved women’s financial empowerment and increased both time- and money-intensive parental investments by between 0.2 and 0.3 standard deviations.

description: The contribution of fathers to child development and maternal mental health is increasingly acknowledged, although research on this topic outside of high income countries is limited. Using longitudinal data, we characterized father involvement in a rural setting in Pakistan and investigated the link between father involvement in the first year of life and child development and maternal depression. Data come from the Bachpan study, a birth cohort established in the context of a perinatal depression intervention. Father involvement was mother reported at 3 and 12 months postpartum and covered domains such as playing with or soothing the infant. Child outcomes included growth at 3, 6 and 12 months postpartum, socioemotional development at 6 months (Ages and Stages Questionnaire-socioemotional), and developmental milestones at 12 months (Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, BSID)). Maternal depression was assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Roughly 20% of the fathers were temporarily non-resident. Among the rest, most mothers reported that fathers were involved: for example, approximately 40% reported that the father plays with the baby on a typical day. We observed no clear pattern of association between 3-month father involvement and child growth at any time point; however, 12-month father involvement was cross-sectionally inversely associated with child growth. We observed a protective pattern of association between 3-month father involvement and 6-month child socioemotional development. For the BSID domains, while almost all effect estimates suggested a protective association with higher levels of father involvement/father being temporarily non-resident, the magnitude of the estimates was smaller and most 95% confidence intervals crossed the null. Finally, there was a trend toward greater father involvement/being temporary non-resident predicting lower levels of maternal depression. Using longitudinal data, these results provide new evidence about the association between father involvement, and both child development and maternal mental health.

description: Background: Maternal depression affects one in five women in low-and middle income countries (LMIC) and has significant economic and social impacts. Evidence-based psychosocial interventions delivered by non-specialist health workers are recommended as first-line management of the condition, and recent studies on such interventions from LMIC show promising results. However, lack of human resource to deliver the interventions is a major bottle-neck to scale-up, and much research attention has been devoted to 'task-sharing' initiatives. A peer-delivered version of the World Health Organization's Thinking Healthy Programme for perinatal depression in Pakistan and India showed clinical, functional and social benefits to women at 3 months postpartum. The programme has been iteratively adapted and continually delivered for 5 years in Pakistan. In this report, we describe the extended intervention and factors contributing to the peers' continued motivation and retention, and suggest future directions to address scale-up challenges. Methods: The study was conducted in rural Rawalpindi. We used mixed methods to evaluate the programme 5 years since its initiation. The competency of the peers in delivering the intervention was evaluated using a specially developed Quality and Competency Checklist, an observational tool used by trainers to rate a group session on key areas of competencies. In-depth interviews explored factors contributing to the peer volunteers' continued motivation and retention, as well as the key challenges faced. Results: Our key findings are that about 70% of the peer volunteers inducted 5 years ago continued to be part of the programme, retaining their competency in delivering the intervention, with only token financial incentives. Factors contributing to sustained motivation included altruistic aspirations, enhanced social standing in the community, personal benefits to their own mental health, and the possibility for other avenues of employment. Long-term challenges included demotivation due to lack of certainty about the programme's future, increased requirement for financial incentivisation, the logistics of organising groups in the community, and resistance from some families to the need for ongoing care. Conclusions: The programme, given the sustained motivation and competence of peer volunteers in delivering the intervention, has the potential for long-term sustainability in under-resourced settings and a candidate for scale-up.

description: L'approche des mécanismes liés aux résultats faussement positifs des tests de diagnostic rapide (TDR) du VIH chez les patients atteints de la trypanosomose humaine africaine (THA) ou maladie du sommeil contribuera à améliorer la précision du dépistage de l'infection par le VIH, dans les zones endémiques pour la THA. Nous présentons le cas d'une patiente du Congo, prise en charge pour une méningo-encéphalite opportuniste d’un sida lors de son admission sur la base d’un TDR VIH qui s’est ensuite révélé faussement positif, et dont le diagnostic était celui de maladie du sommeil. Une étude de cohorte rétrospective réalisée ultérieurement chez des patients atteints de THA, montre que la plupart des TDR VIH positifs avant traitement sont des faux positifs et que la moitié d’entre eux ont disparu à la fin du traitement, ce qui suggère une clearance rapide d’anticorps en réaction croisée avec le parasite. Une part importante des TDR VIH faussement positifs disparait avant la fin du traitement trypanocide. Là où les test sérologiques Elisa VIH ne sont pas rapidement accessibles, le renouvellement du TDR VIH en fin de traitement de la THA permet d’identifier environ la moitié des TDR VIH faussement positifs.

description: The context in which dependents, regardless of age, receive care affects their health. This study adapted the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) Inventory, originally designed for child development research, to assess the quality of stimulation and support available to elders in their habitual households in Sri Lanka. Whether the adapted domains correlated with indicators of health and well-being in ways consistent with the child development literature was then examined. Through mixed-methods research based on 248 household surveys, four focus groups, and 15 interviews, three domains emerged: Physical Environment, Variety of Stimulation, and Emotional and Verbal Responsiveness. Regression modeling revealed that a higher quality physical home environment correlated with two measures of cognitive function after adjusting for covariates, but no consistent association with two psychological well-being scales. In contrast, higher Variety of Stimulation scores correlated with better cognitive function and lower psychological distress. There was no consistent correlation between Responsiveness and selected health outcomes. Qualitative data indicate that elders are active household contributors who strive to achieve harmonious relations with coresident kin. These findings reveal notable synergies between early and late life efforts to improve cognitive and psychological health, and highlight household considerations for future healthy aging research.

description: Aims: To examine changes in upper limb function, and performance in everyday tasks, for children with unilateral cerebral palsy who participated in a magic-themed hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT). Methods: Twenty-eight children participated; mean age 10 y 6 mo (SD 2 y 2 mo), n = 15 male and n = 13 female. Using a single group, pre-and post-test design, the magic-themed HABIT was delivered for 60 hours over 10 days. Bimanual and unimanual hand function were measured using the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) and Box and Blocks Test (BBT). Occupational performance was rated using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Two parent questionnaires explored change in bimanual hand use in everyday activities; ABILHAND-Kids and Children’s Hand-use Experience Questionnaire (CHEQ). Assessments were completed pre-, immediately post, 3 months and 6 months after the intervention. Results: Friedman’s ANOVA revealed a significant improvement for COPM and CHEQ grasp subscale. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant improvement in BBT, and ABILHAND-Kids, and no significant change for AHA. Conclusions: Children who participated in the magic-themed HABIT experienced improved occupational performance, unimanual skills, and parent ratings of performance in challenging everyday tasks.

description: Objectif. En 2019, la République centrafricaine a découvert des foyers de poliovirus de type 2 dérivé vaccinal circulant (PVDV2c). L’objectif de ce travail est de décrire l’état vaccinal des enfants paralysés par le PVDV2c et leurs contacts et d’évaluer la circulation de cette souche chez ces contacts. Patients et méthode. Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective et descriptive. La population d’étude est constituée des enfants atteints de paralysie flasque aigue (PFA) et de leurs contacts. Nous avons inclus les enfants paralysés dont les résultats de séquençage ont montré la présence du PVDV2c. Résultats. Au total, 21 enfants paralysés par le PVDVc et 64 contacts ont été enrôlés dans cette étude. Quatorze enfants paralysés sur 21 (66 %) avaient reçu au moins une dose de vaccin antipoliomyélitique oral (VPO) bivalent contre 36 sur 64 (57 %) chez les contacts (différence non significative). Parmi les malades vaccinés, 7 avaient reçu moins de trois doses. Pour le vaccin polio injectable (VPI), la couverture vaccinale chez les malades comme pour les contacts était de 33 %. La proportion des enfants ayant reçu à la fois des doses de VPO et de VPI était de 33 % chez les malades et 25 % chez les contacts. Les contacts porteurs de VDPV2 ont été vaccinés par le VPO (55 %) et VPI respectivement (27 %). Le VDPV2 et le Sabin 2 ont également été trouvés dans les selles des contacts, respectivement 34 % et 9 %. Conclusion. L’insuffisance de vaccination en VPO et VPI pendant plusieurs années a des conséquences graves par la survenue de virus dérivé du vaccin et responsable de paralysie à vie. Pour arrêter l’épidémie de VDPVc, il faut renforcer la couverture vaccinale par une campagne de masse couvrant tous les districts en même temps.

description: We provide an argument to infer stationary entanglement between light and a mechanical oscillator based on continuous measurement of light only. We propose an experimentally realizable scheme involving an optomechanical cavity driven by a resonant, continuous-wave field operating in the non-sideband-resolved regime. This corresponds to the conventional configuration of an optomechanical position or force sensor. We show analytically that entanglement between the mechanical oscillator and the output field of the optomechanical cavity can be inferred from the measurement of squeezing in (generalized) Einstein-Podolski-Rosen quadratures of suitable temporal modes of the stationary light field. Squeezing can reach levels of up to 50% of noise reduction below shot noise in the limit of large quantum cooperativity. Remarkably, entanglement persists even in the opposite limit of small cooperativity. Viewing the optomechanical device as a position sensor, entanglement between mechanics and light is an instance of object-apparatus entanglement predicted by quantum measurement theory.

description: Understanding human intentions is critical for safe and effective human-robot collaboration. While state of the art methods for human goal prediction utilize learned models to account for the uncertainty of human motion data, that data is inherently stochastic and high variance, hindering those models' utility for interactions requiring coordination, including safety-critical or close-proximity tasks. Our key insight is that robot teammates can deliberately configure shared workspaces prior to interaction in order to reduce the variance in human motion, realizing classifier-agnostic improvements in goal prediction. In this work, we present an algorithmic approach for a robot to arrange physical objects and project "virtual obstacles" using augmented reality in shared human-robot workspaces, optimizing for human legibility over a given set of tasks. We compare our approach against other workspace arrangement strategies using two human-subjects studies, one in a virtual 2D navigation domain and the other in a live tabletop manipulation domain involving a robotic manipulator arm. We evaluate the accuracy of human motion prediction models learned from each condition, demonstrating that our workspace optimization technique with virtual obstacles leads to higher robot prediction accuracy using less training data.

description: The molecular structure of 1-methylisatin (1) has been studied by gas-phase electron diffraction (GED) and quantum chemical computation up to the coupled cluster (CCSD(T)) level of theory. The semiexperimental equilibrium structure (Cs point group symmetry) has been determined from the GED data taking into account anharmonic vibrational corrections calculated in curvilinear coordinates with the B2PLYP force field. To observe fine structural effects due to the presence of different kinds of substituents, the accurate molecular structures of isatin (2) and 5-fluoroisatin (3) were also computed at the CCSD(T) level. The (O=)C–C(=O) carbon–carbon bonds of the pyrroline moiety in 1–3 are found to be remarkably longer than the typical single C–C bond. The electron donating methyl group causes a decrease of the C−N−C angle and an elongation of the N−C bond lengths in the pyrroline ring by 0.7° and up to 0.008 Å, respectively, whereas the electron withdrawing fluorine atom increases the ipso CCC angle by 2.5° in comparison to that in unsubstituted isatin.

description: Function is an important marker of health throughout the life course, however, in low-and-middle-income-countries, little is known about the burden of functional impairment as women transition from pregnancy to the first year post-partum. Leveraging longitudinal data from 960 women participating in the Share Child Cohort in Pakistan, this study sought to (1) characterize functional trajectories over time among women in their perinatal period and (2) assess predictors of chronic poor functioning following childbirth. We used a group-based trajectory modeling approach to examine maternal patterns of function from the third trimester of pregnancy through 12 months post-partum. Three trajectory groups were found: persistently well-functioning (51% of women), poor functioning with recovery (39% of women), and chronically poor functioning (10% of women). When compared to mothers in the highest functioning group, psychosocial characteristics (e.g., depression, stress, and serious life events) were significantly associated with sustained poor functioning one-year following child-birth. Mothers living in nuclear households were more likely to experience chronic poor functioning. Higher education independently predicted maternal function recovery, even when controlling for psychosocial characteristics. Education, above and beyond socio-economic assets, appears to play an important protective role in maternal functional trajectories following childbirth. Public health implications related to maternal function and perinatal mental health are discussed.

The model is constructed via a novel variational principle which ensures that the choice of collective coordinate s(y) near the wall is optimal. We highlight the importance of a new wetting parameter Ω(T) which has a strong influence on critical properties and allows the status of long-standing Monte-Carlo simulation controversies to be re-examined.

Spin-qubit noise spectroscopy from randomized benchmarking by supervised learning

description: We demonstrate a method to obtain the spectra of $1/f$ noises in spin-qubit devices from randomized benchmarking, assisted by supervised learning. The noise exponent, which indicates the correlation within the noise, is determined by training a double-layer neural network with the ratio between the randomized benchmarking results of pulse sequences that correct noise and not. After the training is completed, the neural network is able to predict the exponent within an absolute error of about 0.05, comparable with existing methods. The noise amplitude is then evaluated by training another neural network with the decaying fidelity of randomized benchmarking results from the uncorrected sequences. The relative error for the prediction of the noise amplitude is as low as 5\% provided that the noise exponent is known. Our results suggest that the neural network is capable of predicting noise spectra from randomized benchmarking, which can be an alternative method to measure noise spectra in spin-qubit devices.

description: We propose a method to determine the angle $γ=arg(V_{ub})$, using the $B\to D^*V$ ($V=K^*, ρ$) modes. The $D^*$ is considered to decay to $D π$. An interference of the $B \to D^{*0}V$ and $B \to \bar {D^{*0}}V$ amplitudes is achieved by looking at a common final state $f$, in the subsequent decays of $D^0/\bar{D^0}$. A detailed analysis of the angular distribution, allows determination, not only of $γ$ and $|V_{ub}|$, but also all the hadronic amplitudes and strong phases involved. No prior knowledge of doubly Cabibbo suppressed branching ratios of $D$ are required. Large CP violating asymmetries ($\sim30 %$ for $γ=30^o$) are possible if $\bar{D^0} \to f$ is doubly Cabbibo suppressed, while $D^0 \to f$ is Cabbibo allowed, for decays of $B^+$ or $B^0$.

description: Starting from the Hamiltonian formulation of N = 2 supersymmetric Calogero models associated with the classical An, Bn, Cn and Dn series and their hyperbolic/trigonometric cousins, we provide their superspace description. The key ingredients include n bosonic and 2n(n−1) fermionic N = 2 superfields, the latter being subject to a nonlinear chirality constraint. This constraint has a universal form valid for all Calogero models. With its help we find more general supercharges (and a superspace Lagrangian), which provide the N = 2 supersymmetrization for bosonic potentials with arbitrary repulsive two-body interactions.

description: An old conjecture of Erdős and Rényi, proved by Schinzel, predicted a bound for the number of terms of a polynomial $g(x) \in \mathbb{C}[x]$ when its square $g(x)^2$ has a given number of terms. Further conjectures and results arose, but some fundamental questions remained open.
 In this paper, with methods which appear to be new, we achieve a final result in this direction for completely general algebraic equations $f(x,g(x))=0$, where $f(x,y)$ is monic of arbitrary degree in $y$, and has boundedly many terms in $x$: we prove that the number of terms of such a $g(x)$ is necessarily bounded. This includes the previous results as extremely special cases.
 We shall interpret polynomials with boundedly many terms as the restrictions to 1-parameter subgroups or cosets of regular functions of bounded degree on a given torus $\mathbb{G}_{\mathrm{m}}^l$. Such a viewpoint shall lead to some best-possible corollaries in the context of finite covers of $\mathbb{G}_{\mathrm{m}}^l$, concerning the structure of their integral points over function fields (in the spirit of conjectures of Vojta) and a Bertini-type irreducibility theorem above algebraic multiplicative cosets. A further natural reading occurs in non-standard arithmetic, where our result translates into an algebraic and integral-closedness statement inside the ring of non-standard polynomials.

description: Contexte : Il y a peu de données sur la déficience visuelle au Sénégal. Des données d’Afrique de l’Ouest estiment la prévalence de la cécité à 1,2 – 3,4 % et de la déficience visuelle à 10,4 – 17,1 %. IRIS Mundial (IM), un organisme non gouvernemental, contribue au développement de soins oculaires au Sénégal, avec l’Association St-Louisienne pour la vue (ASV). Objectifs : Décrire l’importance relative des causes de déficience visuelle à Saint-Louis au sein d’une population consultant pour des problèmes oculaires, afin d’aider à planifier des soins oculaires pertinents. Méthodes : Résultats d’un projet clinique de IM et de ASV (2018), compilés et analysés. Résultats : Parmi les 1944 patients (56,5 % femmes) examinés, 25,7 % présentent une déficience visuelle (22,5 % modérée ; 3,2 % sévère). La myopie est présente chez 15,3 % des consultants, l’hypermétropie chez 10,7 %, l’astigmatisme chez 54,8 % et la presbytie chez 55,8 %. Les cataractes sont présentes chez 17,4 % et le glaucome chez 2,5 %. Conclusion : Cet état des lieux de la déficience visuelle confirme que les erreurs de réfraction, les cataractes et le glaucome sont prédominants dans une consultation d’ophtalmologie de la région de Saint-Louis. Ces résultats peuvent être considérés pour planifier des programmes de soins oculaires.

description: Purpose This is a prospective pregnancy-birth cohort designed to investigate the effects of depression on socioemotional development of children. Perinatal depression is a risk factor for poor child development and for many it has a recurring chronic course. Thus, the exposure to depression can continue through the early years of the child with detrimental developmental outcomes. Participants Between October 2014 and February 2016, we recruited 1154 pregnant women from a rural subdistrict of Pakistan. Data include longitudinal and repeated measures of maternal psychosocial measures and child growth, cognitive and socioemotional measures. Follow-up include mother-child dyad assessments at 3rd, 6th, 12th, 24th and 36th months of child age. All these follow-ups are community based at the household level. We have competed baseline assessment. Findings to date Of the eligible dyads, we followed 885 (76.6%), 929 (91%) and 940 (93.3%) at 3, 6 and 12 months post-childbirth. We include a subsample mother-child dyad DNA and inflammatory biomarkers, 73 and 104, respectively. Future plans While we continue to do 24-month and 36-month follow-up assessments, we plan to follow these mother-child dyads up to the age of 7-8 years with some children being exposed to at least 1 year of school environment.

description: We perform a sequence of 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the outflow-core interaction for a massive protostar forming via collapse of an initial cloud core of $60~{M_\odot}$. This allows us to characterize the properties of disk wind driven outflows from massive protostars, which can allow testing of different massive star formation theories. It also enables us to assess quantitatively the impact of outflow feedback on protostellar core morphology and overall star formation efficiency. We find that the opening angle of the flow increases with increasing protostellar mass, in agreement with a simple semi-analytic model. Once the protostar reaches $\sim24~{M_\odot}$ the outflow's opening angle is so wide that it has blown away most of the envelope, thereby nearly ending its own accretion. We thus find an overall star formation efficiency of $\sim50\%$, similar to that expected from low-mass protostellar cores. Our simulation results therefore indicate that the MHD disk wind outflow is the dominant feedback mechanism for helping to shape the stellar initial mass function from a given prestellar core mass function.

Compositional phase stability in medium-entropy and high-entropy Cantor-Wu alloys from an ab initio all-electron, Landau-type theory and atomistic modelling

description: We describe implementation and analysis of a first-principles theory, derived in an earlier work, for the leading terms in an expansion of a Gibbs free energy of a multi-component alloy in terms of order parameters that characterize potential, compositional phases. The theory includes effects of rearranging charge and other electronics from changing atomic occupancies on lattice sites. As well as the rigorous description of atomic short-range order in the homogeneously disordered phase, pairwise interaction parameters suited for atomistic modelling in a multicomponent setting can be calculated. From our study of an indicative series of the Cantor-Wu alloys, NiCo, NiCoCr, NiCoFeCr, and NiCoFeMnCr, we find that the interactions are not approximated well either as pseudobinary or restricted to nearest neighbour range. Our computed order-disorder transition temperatures are low, consistent with experimental observations, and the nature of the ordering is dominated by correlations between Ni, Co, and Cr, while Fe and Mn interact weakly. Further atomistic modelling suggests that there is no true single-phase low-temperature ground state for these multicomponent systems. Instead the single-phase solid solution is kept stable to low temperatures by the large configurational entropy and the Fe, Mn dilution effects. The computationally cost-effectiveness of our method makes it a good candidate for further exploration of the space of multicomponent alloys.

Quels fondamentaux anthropologiques sont écornés, détournés ou pris à contre sens ? On verra, dans les exemples pratiques de terrain et historiques choisis, comment la communauté des vivants s’arrange avec ses peurs et ses exigences métaphysiques vis-à-vis de la communauté des défunts, composant avec les codes et les croyances. Bref, comment s’établissent des rituels parallèles permettant de contenter les deux parties.
