description: The rise of social media platforms has fundamentally altered the public discourse by providing easy to use and ubiquitous forums for the exchange of ideas and opinions. Elected officials often use such platforms for communication with the broader public to disseminate information and engage with their constituencies and other public officials. In this work, we investigate whether Twitter conversations between legislators reveal their real-world position and influence by analyzing multiple Twitter networks that feature different types of link relations between the Members of Parliament (MPs) in the United Kingdom and an identical data set for politicians within Ireland. We develop and apply a matrix factorization technique that allows the analyst to emphasize nodes with contextual local network structures by specifying network statistics that guide the factorization solution. Leveraging only link relation data, we find that important politicians in Twitter networks are associated with real-world leadership positions, and that rankings from the proposed method are correlated with the number of future media headlines.

description: C-X-C ligand 13 (CXCL13), a regulator of mucosal immunity, is secreted by human endometrial epithelium and may be involved in embryo implantation. However, cyclic expression of human endometrial CXCL13 in health and disease is not well studied. This study examines cycle stage-specific endometrial CXCL13 expression in normal humans when compared to those with biopsy-confirmed, stage 1 to 4 endometriosis using real-time reverse transcriptase, real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Eutopic endometrial CXCL13 expression was also compared between normal, control Rhesus macaques, and macaques with advanced endometriosis. In healthy women, CXLC13 messenger RNA expression was minimal in the proliferative phase and maximal in the secretory phase. However, in the presence of endometriosis, proliferative-phase endometrial expression markedly increased in both humans and rhesus subjects (P < .05). The cross-species and cross-stage concordance suggests a pathophysiologic role for CXCL13 in endometriosis and its use as a biomarker for disease.

 and bear spinulation along their cutting margin.
Correcting the probate inventory record for wealth bias
Creators: name: Keibek, Sebastiaan
Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository
Year: 2017

description: Wealthy, capital-intensive estates are severely overrepresented in historical collections of probate inventories. This paper discusses a new methodology to neutralise the wealth bias in this important historical data source, enabling one to use probate inventories as a source of information on all households, rather than merely on the biased, probated subsection. The methodology is based on establishing the probability of being inventoried – in a certain time period and geographical area – as a function of the value of the decedent’s estate. The probability function is established by means of an iterative fitting process, using occupational information from contemporary parish registers to establish the target values. The inverse of the resulting probability function is subsequently used to reweight the probate inventory dataset. Thereby the historical process which created the inventoried household subsection in the first place is reversed, thus providing an unbiased view of the full population of households. A number of example applications demonstrate the value of the approach.

description: On 2015 March 20, a total solar eclipse will occur in the North Atlantic, with the Kingdom of Denmark's Faroe Islands and Norway's Svalbard archipelago (formerly Spitzbergen) being the only options for land-based observing. The region is known for wild, unpredictable, and often cloudy conditions, which potentially pose a serious threat for people hoping to view the spectacle. We report on a citizen-science, weather-monitoring project, based in the Faroe Islands, which was conducted in March 2014 - one year prior to the eclipse. The project aimed to promote awareness of the eclipse among the local communities, with the data collected providing a quantitative overview of typical weather conditions that may be expected in 2015. It also allows us to validate the usefulness of short-term weather forecasts, which may be used to increase the probability of observing the eclipse.

description: This study was designed to identify successful strategies used by investigators for working with their Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in conducting human subjects research. Telephone interviews were conducted with 46 investigators representing nursing, medicine, and social work. Interview transcripts were analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. Investigators emphasized the importance of intentionally cultivating positive relationships with IRB staff and members, and managing bureaucracy. A few used evasive measures to avoid conflict with IRBs. Few successful strategies were identified for working with multiple IRBs. Although most investigators developed successful methods for working with IRBs, further research is needed on how differences in IRB culture affect human subjects protection, and on best approaches to IRB approval of multi-site studies.

description: To analyze the effect of levofloxacin-induced intestinal microbiota modifications on intestinal, joint, and systemic inflammation in the DBA/1 mice with spontaneous arthritis. The study included two groups of mice, one of which received levofloxacin. The composition and structure of the microbiota were determined in the mice's stool using 16S rRNA sequencing; the differential taxa and metabolic pathway between mice treated with levofloxacin and control mice were also defied. The effect of levofloxacin was evaluated in the intestines, hind paws, and spines of mice through DNA microarray transcriptome and histopathological analyses; systemic inflammation was measured by flow cytometry. Levofloxacin decreased the pro-inflammatory bacteria, including Prevotellaceae, Odoribacter, and Blautia, and increased the anti-inflammatory Muribaculaceae in mice's stool. Histological analysis confirmed the intestinal inflammation in control mice, while in levofloxacin-treated mice, inflammation was reduced; in the hind paws and spines, levofloxacin also decreased the inflammation. Microarray showed the downregulation of genes and signaling pathways relevant in spondyloarthritis, including several cytokines and chemokines. Levofloxacin-treated mice showed differential transcriptomic profiles between peripheral and axial joints and intestines. Levofloxacin decreased the expression of TNF-α, IL-23a, and JAK3 in the three tissues, but IL-17 behaved differently in the intestine and the joints. Serum TNF-α was also reduced in levofloxacin-treated mice. Our results suggest that the microbiota modification aimed at reducing pro-inflammatory and increasing anti-inflammatory bacteria could potentially be a coadjuvant in treating inflammatory arthropathies.
Constraints on non-Standard Model Higgs boson interactions in an effective Lagrangian using differential cross sections measured in the $H \rightarrow γγ$ decay channel at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: The strength and tensor structure of the Higgs boson's interactions are investigated within an effective field theory framework, which allows new CP-even and CP-odd interactions that can lead to changes in the kinematic properties of the Higgs boson and associated jet spectra. The parameters of the effective field theory are probed using a fit to five differential cross sections previously measured by the ATLAS experiment in the $H \rightarrow γγ$ decay channel with an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. In order to perform a simultaneous fit to the five distributions, the statistical correlations between them are determined by re-analysing the $H \rightarrow γγ$ candidate events in the proton-proton collision data. No significant deviations from the Standard Model are observed and limits on the effective field theory parameters are derived. The statistical correlations are made publicly available to allow for future analysis of theories with non-Standard Model interactions.

description: The impact on nursing work of patient turnover (admissions, discharges, and transfers) became evident in an ethnographic study of turbulence. The patient turnover data were generated from extensive observations, 21 formal interviews, and a year of admission and discharge records on one medical and one surgical unit. Timing of turnover events on the two units differed, but on both units admissions typically interrupted workflow more than did discharges, clustered admissions were more disruptive than staggered admissions, and patient turnover during change of shift was more disruptive than during medication administration. Understanding the complexity of patient turnover will elucidate the work involved and improve the evidence base for nurse staffing, a key determinant of quality and safety of care.
Assessment Effects in Educational and Psychosocial Intervention Trials: An Important but Often-Overlooked Problem: ASSESSMENT EFFECTS IN INTERVENTION TRIALS

description: Baseline assessments and repeated measures are an essential part of educational and psychosocial intervention trials, but merely measuring an outcome of interest can modify that outcome, either by the measurement process alone or by interacting with the intervention to strengthen or weaken the intervention effects. Assessment effects can result in biased estimates of intervention effects and may not be controlled by the usual two-group randomized controlled trial design. In this paper, we review the concept of assessment effects and other related phenomena, briefly describe study designs that estimate assessment effects separately from intervention effects and discuss their strengths and limitations, review evidence regarding the strength of assessment effects in intervention trials targeting behavior change, and discuss implications for intervention research.
Predictors of medication nonadherence differ among black and white patients with heart failure: PREDICTORS OF MEDICATION NONADHERENCE

description: Heart failure (HF) is a global public health problem, and outcomes remain poor, especially among ethnic minority populations. Medication adherence can improve heart failure outcomes but is notoriously low. The purpose of this secondary analysis of data from a prospective cohort comparison study of adults with heart failure was to explore differences in predictors of medication nonadherence by racial group (Black vs. White) in 212 adults with heart failure. Adaptive modeling analytic methods were used to model HF patient medication nonadherence separately for Black (31.7%) and White (68.3%) participants in order to investigate differences between these two racial groups. Of the 63 Black participants, 33.3% had low medication adherence, compared to 27.5% of the 149 White participants. Among Blacks, 16 risk factors were related to adherence in bivariate analyses; four of these (more comorbidities, lower serum sodium, higher systolic blood pressure, and use of fewer activities compensating for forgetfulness) jointly predicted nonadherence. In the multiple risk factor model, the number of risk factors in Black patients ranged from 0 to 4, and 76.2% had at least one risk factor. The estimated odds ratio for medication nonadherence was increased 9.34 times with each additional risk factor. Among White participants, five risk factors were related to adherence in bivariate analyses; one of these (older age) explained the individual effects of the other four. Because Blacks with HF have different and more risk factors than Whites for low medication adherence, interventions are needed that address unique risk factors among Black patients with HF.

The Long-Term Consequences of Childbearing: Physical and Psychological Well-Being of Mothers in Later Life
Creators: name: Spence, Naomi J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Growing evidence points to relationships between patterns of childbearing and health outcomes for mothers; yet a need remains to clarify these relationships over the long-term and to understand the underlying mechanisms. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Mature Women (N=1,608), I find that the long-term consequences of childbearing vary by health outcome. Early childbearing is associated with higher risk of ADL limitations at ages 65–83, though effects appear stronger among white than black mothers until SES is controlled. Early childbearing is also associated with greater levels of depressive symptomatology, though this association is mediated by SES and health. Late childbearing is associated with more depressive symptoms net of early life and current SES, child proximity and support, and physical health. Finally, I find no significant effects of high parity. These findings emphasize the need to better understand the mechanisms linking childbearing histories to later physical and psychological well-being.
A debris disk under the influence of a wide planetary mass companion: The system of HD106906

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The 13 Myr old star HD106906 is orbited by a debris disk of at least 0.067 M_Moon with an inner and outer radius of 20 AU and 120 AU, respectively, and by a planet at a distance of 650 AU. We use this curious combination of a close low-mass disk and a wide planet to motivate our simulations of this system. We study the parameter space of the initial conditions to quantify the mass loss from the debris disk and its lifetime under the influence of the planet. We find that when the planet orbits closer to the star than about 50 AU and with low inclination relative to the disk (less than about 10 degrees), more disk material is perturbed outside than inside the region constrained by observations on timescales shorter than 1 Myr. Considering the age of the system, such a short lifetime of the disk is incompatible with the timescale for planet--planet scattering which is one of the scenarios suggested to explain the wide separation of the planet. For some configurations when the planet's orbit is inclined with respect to the disk, the latter will start to wobble. We argue that this wobbling is caused by a mechanism similar to the Kozai--Lidov oscillations. We also observe various resonant structures (such as rings and spiral arms) induced in the disk by the planet.

Exploring the 2MASS Extended and Point Source Catalogs with Clustering Redshifts

description: The Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) has mapped out the low-redshift Universe down to $K_S\sim14$ mag. As its near-infrared photometry primarily probes the featureless Rayleigh-Jeans tail of galaxy spectral energy distributions, colour-based redshift estimation is rather uninformative. Until now, redshift estimates for this dataset have relied on optical follow-up suffering from selection biases. Here we use the newly-developed technique of clustering-based redshift estimation to infer the redshift distribution of the 2MASS sources regardless of their optical properties. We characterise redshift distributions of objects from the Extended Source Catalogue as a function of near-infrared colours and brightness and report some observed trends. We also apply the clustering redshift technique to dropout populations, sources with non-detections in one or more near-infrared bands, and present their redshift distributions. Combining all extended sources, we confirm with clustering redshifts that the distribution of this sample extends up to $z\sim0.35$. % We perform a similar analysis with the Point Source Catalogue and show that it can be separated into stellar and extragalactic contributions with galaxies reaching $z\sim0.7$. We estimate that the Point Source Catalogue contains 1.6 million extragalactic objects: as many as in the Extended Source Catalogue but probing a cosmic volume ten times larger.

description: Fondée sur une enquête archéologique de terrain, cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude des temples dans l'expansion d'un site majeur de l'Inde centrale, Badoh-Pathari (district de Vidisa, Madhya Pradesh), entre le 5e et le 10e siècle de notre ère. Le terrain de cette recherche empirique couvre une aire géographique d'environ 80 km² au sein desquels furent découverts un grand nombre de sites et de vestiges provenant de temples et de structures hydrauliques. En considérant que les temples et les ouvrages hydrauliques sont des artefacts historiques organisés dans l'espace et dans le temps, et qu'ils résultent de processus socioéconomiques au sein de contextes écologiques et anthropiques variés, ces travaux se proposent d'étudier non seulement les vestiges de ces artefacts et la configuration structurelle de leur site, mais également le paysage dans lequel ils existent et dans lequel se sont forgées les relations de l'homme avec le milieu, et de mettre ces résultats au service d'une recherche plus vaste sur l'implication et le rôle intermédiaire des institutions religieuses dans le développement d'un centre économique, politique et religieux et d'un territoire agraire à l'époque médiévale. L'étude du site de Badoh-Pathari est menée dans le cadre (1) d'un examen descriptif des vestiges et de leur distribution spatiale et chronologique, (2) d'une exploration des particularités géomorphologiques des sites, de la fonction des ouvrages hydrauliques et de leur relation aux sites cultuels, (3) d'une analyse intégrée de diverses sources de données par la mise en place d'un système d'information géographique (SIG).

description: Since late 1990s the annelid polychaete Melinna palmata and the mollusc bivalve Ensis directus have been
 collected in the eastern part of the Bay of Seine (English Channel), indicating changes in the benthic communities. Melinna
 palmata was never collected prior to 2002, whereas it was reported in the muddy fine sands of the western part of the
 Channel, along the French (e.g. Bay of Cherbourg) and southern UK (e.g. Southampton Waters) coasts. Ensis directus was
 first reported in 1998 and now appears to be well implanted, given the abundant population collected in 2006. The
 colonization of Melina palmata seems to be a consequence of recent increase of the fine sediment in the eastern part of the
 Bay, while that of the invasive Ensis directus seems more likely to be related to its southwest expansion, from the Scheldt
 estuary (Belgium and Netherlands) towards the Bay. Since both species have complex life cycles including planktonic
 larval phases, their colonisation may also be favoured either by an accidental introduction via ballast waters or by larval
 dissemination from neighbouring populations.

description: The role played by baryonic resonances in the production of final states containing strangeness for proton-proton reactions at 3.5 GeV measured by HADES is discussed by means of several very different measurements. First the associate production of $Δ$ resonances accompanying final states with strange hadrons is presented, then the role of interferences among N$^*$ resonances, as measured by HADES for the first time, is summarised. Last but not least the role played by heavy resonances, with a mass larger than $2$ GeV/c$^2$ in the production of strange and non-strange hadrons is discussed. Experimental evidence for the presence of a $Δ(2000)^{++}$ are presented and hypotheses are discussed employing the contribution of similar objects to populate the excesses measured by HADES for the $Ξ$ in A+A and p+A collisions and in the dilepton sector for A+A collisions. This extensive set of results helps to better understand the dynamic underlaying particle production in elementary reactions and sets a more solid basis for the understanding of heavy ion collisions at the same energies and even higher as planned at the FAIR facility.

A re-definition of the genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844 and the designation of a new genus Margitonia (Crustacea: Decapoda: Pontoniinae)
Creators: name: BRUCE, Alexander J.
Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2007

description: A revised definition of the pontoniine shrimp genus Periclimenes Costa, 1844, is presented, to accommodate the
 recent separation of numerous new genera from that genus. Eight such new genera have been described and a further four,
 which had been placed in synonymy, have been resurrected. A further new genus, Margitonia gen. nov., is also here
 designated for the species Periclimenes insolitus Bruce, 1974. The restricted genus Periclimenes is still the most speciose
 genus in the subfamily Pontoniinae, with over 155 species. Within the restricted genus Periclimenes the species present a
 wide range of morphological diversity and most are associated with a wide range of invertebrate host taxa. They fall into
 several natural groups that are probably polyphyletic in origin and further subdivision of the genus Periclimenes is to be
 anticipated.

description: Миграции птиц — великое природное явление, следствием которого является перераспределение биомассы
и потоков энергии на планете. Изучение этого явления осуществляется на основе сбора, обобщения и осмысления конкретных данных о передвижении разных видов птиц в разные сезоны года на разных континентах. В этом плане особое место занимает территория СевероЗапада России, так как через неё проходит Беломорcко-Балтийская ветка Восточно-Атлантического миграционного пути.
Настоящая книга, по существу, является второй частью двухтомного издания. Первая часть — «Миграции птиц Северо-Запада России. Неворобьиные» — опубликована в 2016 году при финансовой поддержке Российского фонда фундаментальных исследований. Книга основана на богатом фактическом материале, накопленном коллективом исследователей в результате многолетних работ на Северо-Западе России. Особое место в этом материале занимают данные кольцевания и прижизненного обследования отловленных на Ладожской орнитологической станции птиц (около 1 млн) за полувековой период её существования. В монографии, посвящённой миграциям воробьиных птиц, как и в первой части, рассматриваются проблемы миграции через призму концепции места миграционной активности в годовом цикле птиц, разработанной авторами монографии. Продемонстрировано, что при всём многообразии форм миграционной активности периоды миграций являются конкретными проявлениями трёх исходных периодов подвижности в годовом цикле сезонных явлений. Дифференцированный подход к разным периодам миграционной активности, в частности чёткое разграничение периодов ювенальной (послегнездовой) и послебрачной миграций, с одной стороны, и послелиночных миграций — с другой, позволяет получить новые теоретические знания о путях преобразования миграционного поведения в разных экологических и систематических группах класса птиц.

Farming Systems and Rural Out-Migration in Nang Rong, Thailand, and Chitwan Valley, Nepal: Farming Systems and Rural Out-Migration

description: Using data from two post-frontier rural settings, Nang Rong, Thailand (N=2,538) and Chitwan Valley, Nepal (N=876), this paper examines agricultural push factors determining the outmigration of young people age 15 to 19. We focus on different dimensions of migration, including distance and duration. Our study examines a wide array of agricultural determinants, each with its own potential effect on migration. These determinants include land tenure, crop portfolios, animal husbandry activities, and use of farm inputs. We link these proximal causes to two underlying mechanisms: risk and amenities. We examine these determinants using separate models across settings. Our results indicate that agricultural factors are significant determinants of migration in both contexts. However, different factors operate in different settings, indicating the importance of contextual variation in explaining the manner in which risks and amenities influence agricultural determinants of migration.
title:  La Cassazione civile tra riforme inutili e problemi complessi
Creators: name: Curzio, Pietro
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2016

description:

La crisi del giudizio di cassazione ha origine nell’eccessivo numero di ricorsi. Deve essere affrontata partendo da scelte che conducano la Corte ad essere solo giudice di legittimità, il cui compito è quell’unificazione dell’interpretazione senza la quale il principio di uguaglianza viene leso proprio nella sede più delicata costituita dall’applicazione giurisprudenziale delle norme. A tal fine è necessario che il ricorso per cassazione sia proponibile solo per violazione di legge, come sancito dalla Costituzione, senza ampliamenti, o, quanto meno, è necessario che il legislatore non contraddica con nuovi interventi estensivi le scelte in senso restrittivo fatte solo pochi anni fa. Ma è poi assolutamente indispensabile l’adozione di misure ‘non legislative’, strutturali ed organizzative, sostenute con investimenti seri in termini di risorse umane ed economiche.

description: In this paper we propose a general class of gamma frailty transformation models for multivariate survival data. The transformation class includes the commonly used proportional hazards and proportional odds models. The proposed class also includes a family of cure rate models. Under an improper prior for the parameters, we establish propriety of the posterior distribution. A novel Gibbs sampling algorithm is developed for sampling from the observed data posterior distribution. A simulation study is conducted to examine the properties of the proposed methodology. An application to a data set from a cord blood transplantation study is also reported.
Countable Alphabet Random Subhifts of finite type with weakly positive transfer operator

description: We deal with countable alphabet locally compact random subshifts of finite type (the latter merely meaning that the symbol space is generated by an incidence matrix) under the absence of Big Images Property and under the absence of uniform positivity of the transfer operator. We first establish the existence of random conformal measures along with good bounds for the iterates of the Perron-Frobenius operator. Then, using the technique of positive cones and proving a version of Bowen's type contraction (see \cite{Bow75}), we also establish a fairly complete thermodynamical formalism. This means that we prove the existence and uniqueness of fiberwise invariant measures (giving rise to a global invariant measure) equivalent to the fiberwise conformal measures. Furthermore, we establish the existence of a spectral gap for the transfer operators, which in the random context precisely means the exponential rate of convergence of the normalized iterated transfer operator. This latter property in a relatively straightforward way entails the exponential decay of correlations and the Central Limit Theorem.

Feeding and Bleeding: The Institutional Banalization of Risk to Healthy Volunteers in Phase I Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials
Creators: name: Fisher, Jill A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Phase I clinical trials are the first stage of testing new pharmaceuticals in humans. The majority of these studies are conducted under controlled, inpatient conditions using healthy volunteers who are paid for their participation. This article draws on an ethnographic study of six phase I clinics in the United States, including 268 semistructured interviews with research staff and healthy volunteers. In it, I argue that an institutional banalization of risk structures the perceptions of research staff and healthy volunteers participating in the studies. For research staff, there are three mechanisms by which risk becomes banal: a perceived homogeneity of studies, Fordist work regimes, and data-centric discourse. For healthy volunteers, repeat study participation contributes to the institutional banalization of risk both through the process of desensitization to risk and the formation of trust in the clinics. I argue that the institutional banalization of risk also renders invisible ethical concerns about exploitation of underprivileged groups in pharmaceutical research.
