description: ABSTRACT
 BACKGROUND: The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) in many low- and middle-income countries is alarming, with Nigeria and India accounting for over two third of all maternal fatalities worldwide. Nigeria has one of the world highest maternal mortality rate, accounting for about 20% of all maternal deaths worldwide. The rate of maternal mortality is 814 deaths per 100,000 births in Nigeria. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of maternal mortality ratios (MMRs) in Nigeria and to identify the risk variables linked with maternal fatalities.
 METHODOLOGY: The searches were done in the databases of GLOBAL HEALTH, MEDLINE, PUBMED, WEB OF SCIENCE, PRO-QUEST, CINAHL, and EMBASE. References from the studies that were identified were checked. Eligible studies were those that involved identifying causes and associated risk factors of maternal mortality and interventions on reducing the rate of (MMRs) in Nigerian, as well as those that reported on health outcomes and used a controlled study design. In order to eliminate studies, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was employed, and the available evidence was critically appraised in accordance with the study’s aim.10 full-text publications were chosen from the 45 articles, and 5 articles were eventually included in the study.
 RESULTS: According to the findings of this study, medical and non-medical factors, education, poverty, patient related and institutional variables, unsafe abortion, eclampsia and hemorrhage are all linked to increased maternal mortality. The majorities of maternal deaths are caused by women who choose to give birth with unskilled birth attendants rather than trained medical professionals. The more educated women are, the more they seek SBA support, according to statistics.
 CONCLUSION: Maternal mortality rate prevalence in Nigeria is relatively high, due to insufficient basic healthcare, the frequency of antenatal care (ANC) visits, prenatal care, the location of delivery, eclampsia, hemorrhage, illiteracy, medical and non-medical factors are all linked to increased maternal mortality in Nigeria. Improvements in institutional management and adoption of measures to improve women's socioeconomic status, health education, as well as the development of the health-care system will allow women to seek adequate and prompt evidence-based pregnancy care should all be part of the effort to reduce MMR in Nigeria.

description: Dengue virus (DENV) is the causative agent of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic shock syndrome. Dengue vaccine development is challenging because of the need to induce protection against four antigenically distinct DENV serotypes. Recent studies indicate that tetravalent DENV vaccines must induce balanced, serotype-specific neutralizing antibodies to achieve durable protective immunity against all 4 serotypes. With the leading live attenuated tetravalent DENV vaccines, it has been difficult to achieve balanced and type-specific responses to each serotype, most likely because of unbalanced replication of vaccine viral strains. Here we evaluate a tetravalent DENV protein subunit vaccine, based on recombinant envelope protein (rE) adsorbed to the surface of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles for immunogenicity in mice. In monovalent and tetravalent formulations, we show that particulate rE induced higher neutralizing antibody titers compared to the soluble rE antigen alone. Importantly, we show the trend that tetravalent rE adsorbed to nanoparticles stimulated a more balanced serotype specific antibody response to each DENV serotype compared to soluble antigens. Our results demonstrate that tetravalent DENV subunit vaccines displayed on nanoparticles have the potential to overcome unbalanced immunity observed for leading live-attenuated vaccine candidates.

description: We present the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation results of the interaction of a high-energy lepton plasma flow with background electron-proton plasma and focus on the acceleration processes of the protons. It is found that the acceleration follows a two-stage processes. In the first stage, protons are accelerated transversely (perpendicular to the lepton flow) by the turbulent magnetic field "islands" generated via the strong Weibel-type instabilities. The accelerated protons shows a perfect inverse-power energy spectrum. As the interaction continues, a shockwave structure forms and the protons in front of the shockwave are reflected at twice of the shock speed, resulting in a quasi-monoenergetic peak located near 200MeV under the simulation parameters.

description: Licensing and decisions on public health use of a vaccine rely on a robust clinical development program that permits a risk-benefit assessment of the product in the target population. Studies undertaken early in clinical development, as well as well-designed pivotal trials, allow for this robust characterization. In 2012, WHO published guidelines on the quality, safety and efficacy of live attenuated dengue tetravalent vaccines. Subsequently, efficacy and longer-term follow-up data have become available from two Phase 3 trials of a dengue vaccine, conducted in parallel, and the vaccine was licensed in December 2015. The findings and interpretation of the results from these trials released both before and after licensure have highlighted key complexities for tetravalent dengue vaccines, including concerns vaccination could increase the incidence of dengue disease in certain subpopulations. This report summarizes clinical and regulatory points for consideration that may guide vaccine developers on some aspects of trial design and facilitate regulatory review to enable broader public health recommendations for second-generation dengue vaccines.

description: The publicly available spectrum generators for the NMSSM often lead to different predictions for the mass of the standard model-like Higgs boson even if using the same renormalization scheme and two-loop accuracy. Depending on the parameter point, the differences can exceed 5 GeV, and even reach 8 GeV for moderate superparticle masses of up to 2 TeV. It is shown here that these differences can be traced back to the calculation of the running standard model parameters entering all calculations, to the approximations used in the two-loop corrections included in the different codes, and to different choices for the renormalization conditions and scales. In particular, the importance of the calculation of the top Yukawa coupling is pointed out.

description: Photodetectors play key roles in many applications such as remote sensing, night vision, reconnaissance, medical imaging, thermal imaging, and chemical detection. Several properties such as performance, reliability, ease of integration, cost, weight, and form factor are all important in determining the attributes of photodetectors for particular applications. While a number of materials have been used over the past several decades to address photodetection needs across the electromagnetic spectrum, the advent of nanomaterials opens new possibilities for photodetectors. In particular, carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene possess unique properties that have recently been explored for photodetectors. Here, we review the status of the field, presenting a broad coverage of the different types of photodetectors that have been realized with CNTs, placing particular emphasis on the types of mechanisms that govern their operation. We present a comparative summary of the main performance metrics for such detectors, and an outlook for performance improvements.

description: The dengue virus (DENV) vaccines that are licensed or in clinical development consist of DENV serotype 1–4 tetravalent formulations given simultaneously and are not acquired sequentially like natural infections. It is unclear what effect this has on development of protective levels of immunity to all four serotypes. Serotype-specific neutralizing antibody (NAb) is considered the most relevant correlate of protection from dengue disease. Here we assessed levels of serotype-specific and cross-reactive NAb in immune sera from 10 subjects vaccinated with a live attenuated tetravalent DENV vaccine developed at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. The majority of subjects NAb responses to DENV-2 and DENV-4 were type-specific, while their NAb responses to DENV-1 and DENV-3 were primarily cross-reactive. Vaccine virus RNAemia has been most frequently detected for DENV-2 and DENV-4 in vaccinated subjects, strongly suggesting that replication is important for eliciting serotype-specific immunity.

description: In the course of the 20th century, Latin Americans had to face an increasing United States influence in the Americas. They have asked themselves what this development might lead to. From 1898 to the present the concept of North Americanization has been hotly debated in the region. The term has many different meanings in the Latin American societies, meanings that have changed over time and that reflect the differences in gender, social class, and ethnic background. After September 11, 2001 these discussions have gained new relevance due to the rapidly changing international agenda. This volume assembles an interdisciplinary set of important contributions to crucial aspects of North Americanization in Latin America. Addressing categories such as culture, gender, and nation the articles provide new approaches to the study of inter- and trans-American relations in the twentieth century from the perspectives of historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and American studies scholars.

description: We introduce a method for extracting meaningful entanglement measures of tensor network states in general dimensions. Current methods require the explicit reconstruction of the density matrix, which is highly demanding, or the contraction of replicas, which requires an effort exponential in the number of replicas and which is costly in terms of memory. In contrast, our method requires the stochastic sampling of matrix elements of the classically represented reduced states with respect to random states drawn from simple product probability measures constituting frames. Even though not corresponding to physical operations, such matrix elements are straightforward to calculate for tensor network states, and their moments provide the Rényi entropies and negativities as well as their symmetry-resolved components. We test our method on the one-dimensional critical XX chain and the two-dimensional toric code in a checkerboard geometry. Although the cost is exponential in the subsystem size, it is sufficiently moderate so that—in contrast with other approaches—accurate results can be obtained on a personal computer for relatively large subsystem sizes.

Building gender-aware ecosystems for growth: Women’s entrepreneurial learning and leadership development.
Creators: Hughes, Karen D.
Yang, Te
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2019

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine processes of entrepreneurial learning and leadership development (ELLD) for women involved in growth-oriented businesses. It considers how ELLD can be supported by building gender-aware ecosystems for growth.

Design/methodology/approach – Data are from a small-scale study of a growth accelerator program in Canada run by Alberta Women Entrepreneurs. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, drawing on interview, document, and observational data.

Findings – The study finds that three key activities— formal learning, informal learning, and peer / community support—are central to women entrepreneurs’ learning and leadership development. In line with emerging scholarship, entrepreneurial learning is found to be strongly relational, with social capital play a central role in the formation of human capital.

Originality/value – This study contributes to our understanding of the micro-foundations of growth, the processes involved in ELLD and the importance of developing gender-aware ecosystems.

description: Luminescence-encoded microbeads are important tools for many applications in the life and material sciences that utilize luminescence detection as well as multiplexing and barcoding strategies. The preparation of such beads often involves the staining of premanufactured beads with molecular luminophores using simple swelling procedures or surface functionalization with layer-by-layer (LbL) techniques. Alternatively, these luminophores are sterically incorporated during the polymerization reaction yielding the polymer beads. The favorable optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), which present broadly excitable, size-tunable, narrow emission bands and low photobleaching sensitivity, triggered the preparation of beads stained with QDs. However, the colloidal nature and the surface chemistry of these QDs, which largely controls their luminescence properties, introduce new challenges to bead encoding that have been barely systematically assessed. To establish a straightforward approach for the bead encoding with QDs with minimized loss in luminescence, we systematically assessed the incorporation of oleic acid/oleylamine-stabilized CdSe/CdS-core/shell-QDs into 0.5–2.5 µm-sized polystyrene (PS) microspheres by a simple dispersion polymerization synthesis that was first optimized with the organic dye Nile Red. Parameters addressed for the preparation of luminophore-encoded beads include the use of a polymer-compatible ligand such as benzyldimethyloctadecylammonium chloride (OBDAC) for the QDs, and crosslinking to prevent luminophore leakage. The physico-chemical and optical properties of the resulting beads were investigated with electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, optical spectroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy. Particle size distribution, fluorescence quantum yield of the encapsulated QDs, and QD leaking stability were used as measures for bead quality. The derived optimized bead encoding procedure enables the reproducible preparation of bright PS microbeads encoded with organic dyes as well as with CdSe/CdS-QDs. Although these beads show a reduced photoluminescence quantum yield compared to the initially very strongly luminescent QDs, with values of about 35%, their photoluminescence quantum yield is nevertheless still moderate.

description: Gate operations in a quantum information processor are generally realized by tailoring specific periods of free and driven evolution of a quantum system. Unwanted environmental noise, which may in principle be distinct during these two periods, acts to decohere the system and increase the gate error rate. While there has been significant progress characterizing noise processes during free evolution, the corresponding driven-evolution case is more challenging as the noise being probed is also extant during the characterization protocol. Here we demonstrate the noise spectroscopy (0.1 - 200 MHz) of a superconducting flux qubit during driven evolution by using a robust spin-locking pulse sequence to measure relaxation (T1rho) in the rotating frame. In the case of flux noise, we resolve spectral features due to coherent fluctuators, and further identify a signature of the 1MHz defect in a time-domain spin-echo experiment. The driven-evolution noise spectroscopy complements free-evolution methods, enabling the means to characterize and distinguish various noise processes relevant for universal quantum control.

declared a “public health emergency of international
concern” regarding neurological disorders associated
with the rapid emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the
Americas. Since being detected in Brazil in early 2015,
ZIKV has spread extensively, with most countries in
Latin America and the Caribbean now reporting local
transmission of the virus. An association between congenital
ZIKV infection and birth defects, most prominently
microcephaly, has prompted intense concern
among health officials and the public.

description: Background: Increasingly, early adolescents who are transgender or gender diverse (TGD) are seeking gender-affirming health care services. Pediatric health care providers supported by professional guidelines are treating many of these children with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa), which block pubertal development, giving the child and their family more time in which to explore the possibility of medical transition. Methods: We conducted a critical review of the literature to answer a series of questions about criteria for using puberty-blocking medications, the specific drugs used, the risks and adverse consequences and/or the positive outcomes associated with their use. We searched four databases: LGBT Life, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science. From an initial sample of 211 articles, we systematically reviewed 9 research studies that met inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: Studies reviewed had samples ranging from 1-192 (N = 543). The majority (71%) required a diagnosis of gender dysphoria to qualify for puberty suppression and were administered medication during Tanner stages 2 through 4. Positive outcomes were decreased suicidality in adulthood, improved affect/psychological and improved social life. Adverse factors associated with use were changes in body composition, slow growth, decreased height velocity, decreased bone turnover, cost of drugs, and lack of insurance coverage. One study met all quality criteria and was judged ‘excellent’, five studies met the majority of quality criteria resulting in ‘good’ ratings, whereas three studies were judged fair and had serious risks of bias. Conclusion: Given the potentially life-saving benefits of these medications for transgender youth, it is critical that rigorous longitudinal and mixed methods research be conducted that includes stakeholders and members of the gender diverse community with representative samples.

description: We describe the software package FELIX that solves the equations of the time-dependent generator coordinate method (TDGCM) in N-dimensions (N $\geq$ 1) under the Gaussian overlap approximation. The numerical resolution is based on the Galerkin finite element discretization of the collective space and the Crank-Nicolson scheme for time integration. The TDGCM solver is implemented entirely in C++. Several additional tools written in C++, Python or bash scripting language are also included for convenience. In this paper, the solver is tested with a series of benchmarks calculations. We also demonstrate the ability of our code to handle a realistic calculation of fission dynamics.

description: Importance: Ultraviolet radiation exposure is an important modifiable risk factor for keratinocyte carcinoma (KC) in fair-skinned non-Hispanic White populations; however, the evidence for this relationship in darker-skinned populations is less certain. Objective: To assess and synthesize the published data concerning the association between UV exposure and the risk of KC in individuals with skin of color. Evidence Review: PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched from database origin through January 2022. Studies deemed eligible included UV exposure as a risk factor for KC in individuals with skin of color, defined as any race other than non-Hispanic White, Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI, or tanning ability of rarely or never burns. The UV index, irradiance, latitude, history of phototherapy, history of sunburn, or occupational exposure were used as measures of exposure. The Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine guidelines were used to assess evidence quality. Findings: A total of 72 716 articles appeared in the search. After duplicate removal, 29 393 database records were screened, 454 full-text articles were assessed, a forward and reverse citation search was performed, and 12 articles, with clinical data spanning the years 1990 to 2019, met inclusion criteria. More than 32 970 KCs in individuals with skin of color were included. Eight studies found no association between UV exposure and KC, while 4 studies showed a positive association. Study types included 1 ecological study, 9 cohort studies, and 2 case-control studies. The quality of the studies was rated from moderate to low (2b to 4). Conclusions and Relevance: Results of this systematic review show that the evidence assessing the association of UV exposure with KC is of moderate to low quality. The studies that found no association were among patients receiving phototherapy. Studies assessing nonphototherapy-related UV exposure, such as geographic location or occupation, found small positive associations in primarily East Asian individuals. There were no studies performed in the US, no studies among Black individuals, and only 1 study among a Hispanic population. Further research is required to better assess whether these associations exist across populations of patients with darker skin types.

description: Dengue virus is a major global health threat and can lead to life-threatening hemorrhagic complications due to immune activation and cytokine production. Cross-reactive antibodies to an earlier dengue virus infection are a recognized risk factor for severe disease. These antibodies bind heterologous dengue serotypes and enhance infection into Fc-receptorbearing cells, a process known as antibody-dependent enhancement of infection. One crucial cytokine seen elevated in severe dengue patients is IL-1β, a potent inflammatory cytokine matured by the inflammasome. We used a highly-physiologic system by studying antibody-dependent enhancement of IL-1β in primary human monocytes with anti-dengue human monoclonal antibodies isolated from patients. Antibody-enhancement increased viral replication in primary human monocytes inoculated with supernatant harvested from Vero cells infected with dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV-2) 16681. Surprisingly, IL-1β secretion induced by infectious supernatant harvested from two independent Vero cell lines was not enhanced by antibody. Secretion of multiple other inflammatory cytokines was also independent of antibody signaling. However, IL-1β secretion did require NLRP3 and caspase- 1 activity. Immunodepletion of dengue virions from the infectious supernatant confirmed that virus was not the main IL-1β-inducing agent, suggesting that a supernatant component(s) not associated with the virion induced IL-1β production. We excluded RNA, DNA, contaminating LPS, viral NS1 protein, complement, and cytokines. In contrast, purified Vero-derived DENV-2 16681 exhibited antibody-enhancement of both infection and IL-1β induction. Furthermore, C6/36 mosquito cells did not produce such an inflammatory component, as crude supernatant harvested from insect cells infected with DENV-2 16681 induced antibody-dependent IL-1β secretion. This study indicates that Vero cells infected with DENV-2 16681 may produce inflammatory components during dengue virus propagation that mask the virus-specific immune response. Thus, the choice of host cell and viral purity should be carefully considered, while insect-derived virus represents a systemthat elicits antibody- dependent cytokine responses to dengue virus with fewer confounding issues.
Hilbert Basis Theorem and Finite Generation of Invariants in Symmetric Fusion Categories in Positive Characteristic

description: In this paper, we conjecture an extension of the Hilbert basis theorem and the finite generation of invariants to commutative algebras in symmetric finite tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We prove the conjecture in the case of semisimple categories and more generally in the case of categories with fiber functors to the characteristic $p > 0$ Verlinde category of $SL_{2}$. We also construct a symmetric finite tensor category $\sVec_{2}$ over fields of characteristic $2$ and show that it is a candidate for the category of supervector spaces in this characteristic. We further show that $\sVec_{2}$ does not fiber over the characteristic $2$ Verlinde category of $SL_{2}$ and then prove the conjecture for any category fibered over $\sVec_{2}$.
