description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: It has now become possible to study directly, via numerical simulation, the evolution of relativistic, radiation-dominated flows around compact objects. With this in mind we set out explicitly covariant forms of the radiative transfer equation that are suitable for numerical integration in curved spacetime or flat spacetime in curvilinear coordinates. Our work builds on and summarizes in consistent form earlier work by Lindquist, Thorne, Morita and Kaneko, and others. We give explicitly the basic equations in spherical-polar coordinates for Minkowski space and the Kerr spacetime in Kerr-Schild coordinates.

description: To develop a valid and reliable quality-of-life (QoL) scale in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). After producing question pool by using psychometric methods, high-performance questions were obtained according to expert panel. The principal component analysis (PCA) was done with varimax rotation for factor analysis. The final version of the scale (FMF-QoL) was examined for reliability and validity. Internal consistency with Cronbach alpha was calculated. The face, content, convergent and discriminant validity were analyzed. PRAS score used to assess the disease activity. Spearman correlation coefficient (rho) was used to assess the convergent and discriminant validity. In our study, 123 FMF patients were recruited. According to the factor analysis the FMF-QoL were represented by 4 factor groups (eigenvalues >1) which were physical impact, social and recreational impact, psychological impact, and impact of sleep. All questions’ factor loadings after Varimax rotation were bigger than 0.5 and the cumulative variance of the scale was 68.11%. The strongest correlation of the FMF-QoL was found with other QoL scales like EUROHIS (rho: −0.64, p p p p p p p A valid, reliable, practical, not time-consuming FMF-specific QoL scale that can be used in the clinical follow-up and treatment of these patients was developed and validated.

subject: Productivity Australia dairy industry Tornqvist index values inputs outputs total factor productivity

description: Although the Australian dairy industry has performed well it has also faced considerable pressure over the past twenty years. A decline in the terms of trade and major structural change has provided added incentives for the industry to improve productivity. This paper constructs Tornqvist index values to measure and analyse movements in inputs, outputs, total factor productivity (TFP) and the terms of trade for the dairy industry as a whole and for each state over the years 1979 to 1999. Overall, there is clear evidence of a significant increase in the TFP index in the 1990s relative to the 1980s. However, in terms of fitted annual growth rates, there is also evidence of a productivity 'slow down' in the 1990s, with the principal exception of New South Wales. Average annual growth in dairy total factor productivity in Australia over the entire twenty-year period is 1.5 per cent, but decreases from 1.8 per cent in the first to 0.9 per cent in the second decade. In Victoria, the largest dairy producer, the growth in TFP in the second decade of the study is virtually zero, with poor weather conditions in the second half of the decade partly to blame. Much of the impressive growth in dairy output in the 1990s can thus be simply attributed to a growth in inputs. Index values for the terms of trade, the share of input costs in total costs and potential drives of productivity change are also examined.

description: This paper discusses the main problems, principles, concepts, and solutions that characterise the intellectually property (IP) challenges that the CGIAR Research Centres face. The Centres' IP challenges must be seen against the background of five revolutions. Due to the biotechnology, information and communication technology, and intellectual property revolutions, a management revolution is necessary for the Centres to follow up on their initial success in the Green Revolution. The requisite management revolution would implement the principles of systemic thinking, relational thinking, analysis of incentive problems, bundle thinking, and portfolio thinking. These principles can be applied to IP-related challenges, including technology access and freedom-to-operate issues, relations with the private sector, secrecy versus openness, decisions on IP protection, exclusivity versus non-exclusivity in partnerships, the proper level of investment in IP expertise and information systems, and higher-level initiatives.

description: We reconsider the relationship between the bound state and the SU(3) rigid rotator approaches to strangeness in the Skyrme model. For non-exotic S=-1 baryons the bound state approach matches for small m_K onto the rigid rotator approach, and the bound state mode turns into the rotator zero-mode. However, for small m_K, we find no S=+1 kaon bound states or resonances in the spectrum, confirming previous work. This suggests that, at least for large N and small m_K, the exotic state may be an artifact of the rigid rotator approach to the Skyrme model. An S=+1 near-threshold state comes into existence only for sufficiently large SU(3) breaking. If such a state exists, then it has the expected quantum numbers of Theta+: I=0, J=1/2 and positive parity. Other exotic states with (I=1, J^P=3/2+), (I=1,J^P=1/2+), (I=2, J^P=5/2+) and (I=2,J^P=3/2+) appear as its SU(2) rotator excitations. As a test of our methods, we also identify a D-wave S=-1 near-threshold resonance that, upon SU(2) collective coordinate quantization, reproduces the mass splittings of the observed states Lambda(1520), Sigma(1670) and Sigma(1775) with good accuracy.

description: Relatively little evidence is available on the importance of information and the role of Information Communication Technologies (mobiles and radios) in the key aspects of marketing behaviours of developing country farmers. We included the concept of proportional and fixed transactions costs within a household framework to investigate market participation decisions of farm households with a marketable surplus of food crops. Differently to previous studies, we also modelled the behaviour of farm gale buyers. We use a novel dataset from Ghanaian farmers, which contains detailed information fro individual selling transaction that is seldom available in other household surveys. We found that larger transactions occur at the farmgale, where farmgale buyers are prepared to pay a premium price because of lower fixed transaction costs they incur. The knowledge of market information has a contrasting effect on the decision of the marketplace. In some cases, farmers use the information on prices in specific marketplaces to travel farther, in other cases they sell their commodity in closer market where they may strenghening their bargaining power. Finally we only found weak evidence on the impact of using mobile phones in reducing searching costs and attract farm gate buyers.

description: We present a theoretical study of Fano interference effects in few-photon transport. Under appropriate conditions, a local defect in an optical waveguide induces a highly asymmetric transmission lineshape, characteristic of Fano interference. For a two-level emitter placed adjacent to such a defect, here modeled as a partially transmitting element, we find an analytical expression for the full time evolution of single-photon wavepackets and the emitter excitation probability. We show how the partially transmitting element affects the emitter lifetime and shifts the spectral position of the effective system resonances. Using input-output formalism, we determine the single and two-photon $ S $-matrices for both a two-level emitter and a cavity-emitter system coupled to a waveguide with a partially transmitting element. We show how the Fano interference effect can be exploited for the implementation of a Hong-Ou-Mandel switch in analogy with a tunable linear or nonlinear beam splitter.

description: The sensitivity of calorimetric energy-energy correlation function to the medium-induced energy loss of fast partons in high multiplicity heavy ion interactions is demonstrated at the appropriate selection of events for the analysis, namely, the availability of one high-pt jet in an event at least and using the procedure of ``thermal'' background subtraction. Without jet trigger this correlation function manifests the global structure of transverse energy flux: the correlator is isotropic for central collisions, and for non-central collisions it is sensitive to the azimuthal anisotropy of energy flow reproducing its Fourier harmonics but with the coefficients squared.

description: To assess the real-world effectiveness of golimumab in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had previously received one or more biologic therapies. A post-hoc analysis of post-marketing surveillance was performed. The clinical response to golimumab was analyzed in 1216 patients who had previously received one or more biologic agents including non-TNF inhibitors with stratification by the number of previous biologic agents. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with DAS28-CRP response to golimumab. While treatment persistence is comparable, the response to golimumab declined with an increasing number of previous biologic therapies. When stratified by golimumab dose, patients receiving golimumab at 100 mg had higher disease activity at baseline with an increasing number of previous bDMARDs, but they still achieved comparable disease activity at 24 weeks regardless of how many bDMARDs had been previously used. Univariate and multivariate analyses both identified concomitant oral corticosteroid therapy as a factor negatively associated with the likelihood of achieving a DAS28-CRP response. Switching to golimumab was effective regardless of how many biologic agents had been previously used, but the response declined with an increasing number of prior biologic agents. A golimumab dose of 100 mg was also effective for those who previously received three or more bDMARDs.

description: Deep learning approaches have recently achieved impressive performance on both audio source separation and sound classification. Most audio source separation approaches focus only on separating sources belonging to a restricted domain of source classes, such as speech and music. However, recent work has demonstrated the possibility of "universal sound separation", which aims to separate acoustic sources from an open domain, regardless of their class. In this paper, we utilize the semantic information learned by sound classifier networks trained on a vast amount of diverse sounds to improve universal sound separation. In particular, we show that semantic embeddings extracted from a sound classifier can be used to condition a separation network, providing it with useful additional information. This approach is especially useful in an iterative setup, where source estimates from an initial separation stage and their corresponding classifier-derived embeddings are fed to a second separation network. By performing a thorough hyperparameter search consisting of over a thousand experiments, we find that classifier embeddings from clean sources provide nearly one dB of SNR gain, and our best iterative models achieve a significant fraction of this oracle performance, establishing a new state-of-the-art for universal sound separation.

description: Price transmission studies have become increasingly important in Sub Sahara Africa over the last two decades because of their application in assessing the impact of the market reforms policies embarked upon by the region’s governments between the mid 1980s and early 1990s. In this study, a meta database obtained from 45 price transmission studies published between 1978 and 2011, is used to provide an overall assessment of the potential impact of selected, study-specific attributes on estimated price transmission coefficients and in identifying asymmetric price transmission. Despite the large dispersion of estimated price transmission coefficients 2.5% - 94.2%, the mean coefficient of 32.2% is an overall assessment that the extent of price transmission in SSA is comparatively low. The predicted impacts of the study-specific attributes on the price transmission coefficients, and on the likelihood of the primary studies to report asymmetric price transmission however differ consistently across the attributes, and provide in general evidence on the critical role such attributes play in determining price transmission results and their implications for policy formulation. Therefore, future research on price transmission should carefully account for the impact of study-specific attributes in their results.

description: The Milky Way underwent its last significant merger ten billion years ago, when the Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage (GES) was accreted. Accreted GES stars and progenitor stars born prior to the merger make up the bulk of the inner halo. Even though these two main populations of halo stars have similar $durations$ of star formation prior to their merger, they differ in [$α$/Fe]-[Fe/H] space, with the GES population bending to lower [$α$/Fe] at a relatively low value of [Fe/H]. We use cosmological simulations of a 'Milky Way' to argue that the different tracks of the halo stars through the [$α$/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane are due to a difference in their star formation history and efficiency, with the lower mass GES having its low and constant star formation regulated by feedback whilst the higher mass main progenitor has a higher star formation rate prior to the merger. The lower star formation efficiency of GES leads to lower gas pollution levels, pushing [$α$/Fe]-[Fe/H] tracks to the left. In addition, the increasing star formation rate maintains a higher relative contribution of Type~II SNe to Type~Ia SNe for the main progenitor population that formed during the same time period, thus maintaining a relatively high [$α$/Fe]. Thus the different positions of the downturns in the [$α$/Fe]-[Fe/H] plane for the GES stars are not reflective of different star formation durations, but instead reflect different star formation efficiencies. We argue that cosmological simulations match a wide range of independent observations, breaking degeneracies that exist in simpler models.

description: New method of introducing vortex lines of the electromagnetic field is outlined. The vortex lines arise when a complex Riemann-Silberstein vector $({\bm E} + i{\bm B})/\sqrt{2}$ is multiplied by a complex scalar function $ϕ$. Such a multiplication may lead to new solutions of the Maxwell equations only when the electromagnetic field is null, i.e. when both relativistic invariants vanish. In general, zeroes of the $ϕ$ function give rise to electromagnetic vortices. The description of these vortices benefits from the ideas of Penrose, Robinson and Trautman developed in general relativity.

description: To understand the awareness of transitional care in patients with JIA and their families. A questionnaire survey on transitional care was conducted among patients with JIA during their transitional period who were attending the pediatric rheumatology of our university and the members of parents’ association of JIA (the Asunaro-kai). 57.1% of patients and 35.9% of their parents did not know the word ‘transitional care’. Approximately half of them did not have the opportunity to discuss transition or transfer to adult rheumatology. 61.2% of patients and 78.6% of their parents were worried about transition or transfer to adult rheumatology, and their biggest concern was about building trust with a new doctor. Approximately half of them wished to transfer to adult rheumatology after establishing a period of consultation with both pediatric and adult rheumatology. With regard to the timing of transfer, the majority of them wanted to consult with their doctors regardless of their age. The information they wanted to know was the prognosis of the disease itself, the medical system after adulthood, and data on pregnancy and childbirth. The development of transitional care requires that pediatricians and adult rheumatologists work together to listen to the needs of patients and their families.

description: We present results on semileptonic B decays obtained with the BABAR detector. The large data set accumulated at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-Factory allows a new measurement technique, where the hadronic decay of one B meson is fully reconstructed and the semileptonic decay of the recoiling B meson is studied. Traditional analysis techniques of inclusive and exclusive B decays complement this approach with very high statistics data samples. These measurements play an important role in the tests of the description of CP violation in the Standard Model: The determinations of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements |Vcb| and |Vub| provide constraints on the unitarity of the CKM triangle. Furthermore, the experimental measurement of parameters of Heavy Quark Effective Theory test the consistency of the theoretical description of semileptonic B decays.

description: This study evaluates the impact of the ‘Rice for the Poor’ program – an almost universal program of Indonesian Social Safety Net Program in the time of economic crisis. The program aimed to protect poor households from the negative effects of economic crisis through providing highly subsidized rice price. To assess the impact of the ‘Rice for the Poor’ program, this study utilizes matching estimator approach combined with difference in difference method. The rich longitudinal dataset used in this study enables matching estimator and difference in difference approach to provide accurate estimate of the program’s impact on its beneficiaries. Heterogeneous impact of the program shows that the program has a limited impact on the neediest group. It is found that the ‘Rice for the Poor’ program has a limited impact on the bottom income households. The program has only enabled the poorest households to increase their meat and dairy products expenditures though the treatment effect is very large. The ‘Rice for the Poor’ program has also led to an unintended impact where non targeted households have gained more from the program. The findings suggest that applying conditionality might reduce the errors of inclusion and give more desirable effects for the poor.

For this purpose, using the Hamilton-Jacobi method, we consider semi-classical WKB approximation to calculate the tunneling probabilities of massive boson particles. For these particles, we use the equation of motion for the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model. Using quantum tunneling process of charged massive bossons, we compute the corresponding Hawking temperatures. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of rotation parameter on tunneling probability and temperature.

Our results indicate that a CE debrie ng question that asks respondents to rank the importance of attributes, as opposed to simply indicating attendance or non-attendance, helps to explain the resulting choices. We also examine how mode of survey delivery (online and mail) impacts model performance and nd that our results are not substantively a¤ected by the mode of survey delivery. We conclude that the ranking data is a complementary source of information about respondent utility functions within CE.

description: We propose a novel method applied to extrasolar planetary dynamics to describe the system stability. The observations in this field serve the measurements mainly of radial velocity, transit time, and/or celestial position. These scalar time series are used to build up the high-dimensional phase space trajectory representing the dynamical evolution of planetary motion. The framework of nonlinear time series analysis and Poincaré recurrences allows us to transform the obtained univariate signals into complex networks whose topology carries the dynamical properties of the underlying system. The network-based analysis is able to distinguish the regular and chaotic behaviour not only for synthetic inputs but also for noisy and irregularly sampled real world observations. The proposed scheme does not require neither n-body integration nor best fitting planetary model to perform the stability investigation, therefore, the computation time can be reduced drastically compared to those of the standard numerical methods.

description: In many Lagrangian field theories, there is a Poisson bracket on the space of local functionals. One may identify the fields of such theories as sections of a vector bundle. It is known that the Poisson bracket induces an sh-Lie structure on the graded space of horizontal forms on the jet bundle of the relevant vector bundle. We consider those automorphisms of the vector bundle which induce mappings on the space of functionals preserving the Poisson bracket and refer to such automorphisms as canonical automorphisms. We determine how such automorphisms relate to the corresponding sh-Lie structure. If a Lie group acts on the bundle via canonical automorphisms, there are induced actions on the space of local functionals and consequently on the corresponding sh-Lie algebra. We determine conditions under which the sh-Lie structure induces an sh-Lie structure on a corresponding reduced space where the reduction is determined by the action of the group. These results are not directly a consequence of the corresponding theorems on Poisson manifolds as none of the algebraic structures are Poisson algebras.

description: The large Landé g-factor, high spin-orbit coupling, and low effective mass of the two-dimensional electron gas in InSb quantum wells combined with proximal superconductivity may realize a scalable platform for topological quantum computation. Aluminum thin films directly deposited on top of InSb planar structures result in the formation of a reactive AlInSb layer at the interface. This interlayer progressively consumes the whole Al film, resulting in a disordered AlInSb layer after few months at room temperature. We report on a heterostructure design that results in a significant increase of the durability of these hybrid Al-InSb heterostructures with the preservation of a pure Al film and sharp superconductor-semiconductor interface for more than one year. Two monolayers of epitaxial InAs at the superconductor-semiconductor interface prevent interfacial reactivity as evidenced by X-ray reflectivity and energy dispersive spectroscopy measurements. Structural characterizations of the Al films by transmission electron microscopy reveal the presence of tens of nanometers wide grains predominantly oriented with Al(110) parallel to InSb(001).

description: We consider electromagnetically neutral dark states that couple to the photon through higher dimensional effective operators, such as electric and magnetic dipole moment, anapole moment and charge radius operators. We investigate the possibility of probing the existence of such dark states, taking a Dirac fermion $χ$ as an example, at several representative proton-beam experiments. As no positive signal has been reported, we obtain upper limits (or projected sensitivities) on the corresponding electromagnetic form factors for dark states lighter than several GeV. We demonstrate that while the current limits from proton-beam experiments are at most comparable with those from high-energy electron colliders, future experiments, such as DUNE and SHiP, will be able to improve the sensitivities to electric and magnetic dipole moment interactions, owing to their high intensity.

description: This study investigated the results of 3 years of denosumab treatment for osteoporosis in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and primary osteoporosis (PO). This study enrolled 112 women with RA (RA group) and 104 women with a PO group who received 60 mg denosumab for 3 years. Bone mineral densitiy (BMD) of the lumbar spine, total hip and femoral neck as well as levels of bone turnover markers [N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b (TRACP-5b)] were measured at years 1, 2, and 3. The percent changes (Δ) in BMD values at years 1, 2, and 3 were as follows: RA group: 6.7 ± 6.2%, 8.9 ± 6.5%, and 9.8 ± 8.2% and PO group: 6.0 ± 4.8%, 8.9 ± 7.5%, and 12.6 ± 8.7% for the lumbar spine; RA group: 4.5 ± 4.6%, 5.2 ± 5.1%, and 6.8 ± 5.9% and PO group: 3.8 ± 4.5%, 4.6 ± 7.4%, and 6.8 ± 4.6% for the total hip; and RA group: 2.7 ± 5.1%, 4.1 ± 6.8%, and 4.3 ± 6.7% and PO group: 3.6 ± 8.0%, 4.5 ± 10.9%, and 5.7 ± 10.5% for the femoral neck, respectively. The ΔBMD for the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck as well as ΔP1NP and ΔTRACP-5b did not differ significantly between the two groups at any time points. Denosumab treatment for osteoporosis had a similar efficacy over 3 years among women with RA and PO. A better understanding of denosumab treatment for this patient population is important in clinical practice.

description: We investigate phase synchronization between two identical or detuned response oscillators coupled to a slightly different drive oscillator. Our result is that phase synchronization can occur between response oscillators when they are driven by correlated (but not identical) inputs from the drive oscillator. We call this phenomenon Generalized Phase Synchronization (GPS) and clarify its characteristics using Lyapunov exponents and phase difference plots.

description: There now exists a large literature on price transmission in agro-food sectors. However, a great majority of empirical studies focus on the existence of asymmetry and, by and large, do not allow investigating the reason for its presence or absence. This is in sharp contrast to the theoretical literature that provides a number of explanations for why we should expect (a)symmetry. In response to this, this paper tries to uncover the reasons for price asymmetric transmission in the agro-food chain. To do so, we use meta-analysis drawing on the existing studies from this area. While there are some limitations to our data, we believe that this perspective could be very useful in advancing our understanding of price transmission mechanisms. Our findings suggest that asymmetric price transmission in farm-retail relationship is more likely to occur in sectors/countries with more fragmented farm structure and more restrictive regulations on price controls in retail sector. Instead, more restrictive regulations on entry barriers and operational conduct of retail trade tend to promote symmetric price transmission. The latter is also more likely in the presence of strong processing industry.

description: Additive manufacturing processes as for instance selective laser melting or electron beam melting are becoming more common and just turning into standard manufacturing processes for metal components. Nevertheless, these processes are still new compared to classic powder metallurgy manufacturing routes such as pressing and sintering. Hence not all necessary requirements for the powders in use are fully known yet. This makes an increase in control of the powder properties a crucial task to achieve. To reach this goal one must understand the different influences on the powder production process from the beginning of the whole production route. In this work, the influence of the spray chamber flow on the particle morphology is examined. The nozzle system used to produce the metal powders is a close-coupled atomization system with a convergent-divergent gas nozzle configuration. The particle morphology as well as the particle size distribution have been analyzed to examine the influence of the atomization gas flow compared to an additional use of a coaxial gas flow. To review the changes of the flow patterns, computational fluid dynamic simulations have been performed. The particle trajectories were calculated to assess the change in particle behavior as well. Atomization experiments have been conducted with an AISI 52100 (1.3505) steel in a small batch atomization plant to evaluate the influence of the change in flow on the particle size distribution and circularity. The experimental results show that a use of additional coaxial gas leads to an increase in particle circularity up to 10% for relevant particle sizes. An approach for the quantification of satellite occurrence is given by examination of the shift of the particle size distribution to smaller diameters.

description: To explain aspects of the quantum-to-classical transition, quantum Darwinism explores the fact that, due to interactions between a quantum open system and its surrounding environment, information about the system can be spread redundantly to the environment. Here we recall that there are in the literature two distinct and non-equivalent ways to make this statement precise and quantitative. We first point out the difference with some simple but illustrative examples. We then consider a model where Darwinism can be seen from both perspectives. Moreover, the non-Markovianity of our model can be varied with a parameter. In a recent work [F. Galve \textit{et al.}, Sci. Reps. 6, 19607 (2016)], the authors concluded that quantum Darwinism can be hindered by non-Markovianity. We depart from their analysis and argue that, from both perspectives to quantum Darwinism, there is no clear relationship between non-Markovianity and quantum Darwinism in our model.

description: To assess the real-world effectiveness of golimumab in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis who had previously received first-line biologic therapy. A post-hoc analysis of post-marketing surveillance was performed. The effectiveness of golimumab was assessed in 731 patients with an inadequate response to first-line biologic therapy stratified by their prior biologic agents. Outcome variables included DAS28-CRP, DAS28-ESR, SDAI and CDAI, and medication persistence. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with the likelihood of achieving a DAS28-CRP response (good/moderate) after 24 weeks of golimumab treatment. Patients demonstrated significant improvement in the clinical signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at 24 weeks, as indicated by the reduction of DAS28-CRP (Δ0.87), DAS28-ESR (Δ0.85), SDAI (Δ7.32), and CDAI (Δ6.98) scores. This result was consistent across the subgroups stratified by previous biologic therapy. Multivariate analysis failed to identify any factors associated with response to golimumab. In the real-world clinical setting, switching to golimumab was effective for Japanese patients with an inadequate response to first-line biologic therapy regardless of the biologic agent, including both TNF and non-TNF inhibitors.
