description: We aimed to identify associated factors of highly frequent use of outpatient services and explore how they were impacted to provide policy references for government and medical institutes in their efforts to seek provision of reasonable medical services, continuous care and integrated outpatient services. The Taiwanese national health insurance database was used and 661,125 patients were identified in 2009. The patients with ≥100 internal medicine outpatient (IMO) visits were defined as the highly frequent group and they were matched at a ratio of 1:4 with patients of 1–99 IMO visits based on demographic characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Among 1 million patients in the outpatient department, 0.05% had at least 100 visits. These patients with highly frequent IMO visits had significantly higher rates of emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalization, psychiatric disorders and possession of a catastrophic illness card as well as a significantly lower level of continuity of care index (COCI). Multivariate analysis showed that ED visits (adjusted OR [AOR] = 1.63), psychiatric disorders (AOR = 7.13), low COCI (AOR = 1.69), and several comorbidities including peripheral vascular diseases (AOR = 4.33), dementia (AOR = 0.04), chronic pulmonary disease (AOR = 3.02), peptic ulcer diseases (AOR = 3.70), diabetes mellitus (AOR = 3.45) and renal disease (AOR = 2.43) were significant associated factors. To rationalize use and distribution of medical resources, we suggest proper regular care and health education to those with mental disabilities and multiple chronic conditions, which may not only improve the situation of highly frequent hospital visits but also effectively control incidence of acute conditions and reduce their ED visits. In addition, improving the continuity of care is vital, and the best way to do this is to promote family medicine as the primary form of healthcare.

description: The standard calculations of the ground-state energy of a homogeneous Bose gas rely on approximations which are physically reasonable but difficult to control. Lieb and Yngvason [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 2504 (1998)] have proved rigorously that the commonly accepted leading order term of the ground state energy is correct in the zero-density-limit. Here, strong indications are given that also the next to leading term is correct. It is shown that the first terms obtained in a perturbative treatment provide contributions which are lost in the Bogoliubov approach.

description: We study the ability of perturbative models with effective field theory contributions and infra-red resummation to model the redshift space clustering of biased tracers in models where the linear power spectrum has "features" -- either imprinted during inflation or induced by non-standard expansion histories. We show that both Eulerian and Lagrangian perturbation theory are capable of reproducing the Fourier space two-point functions of halos up to the non-linear scale from a suite of $4096^3$ particle N-body simulations. This is the first demonstration that perturbative models can accurately fit the redshift-space clustering of biased tracers in N-body simulations of such theories. By comparing different theoretical models and IR resummation schemes we assess the current theoretical uncertainty in predicting power spectra for models with features. Our results suggest that future surveys will be able to detect or tightly constrain features in the primordial spectrum below the one percent level across a wide range of scales.

description: Objective: To explore current recommendations for intravenous (IV) iron use in clinical guidelines for iron deficiency anemia (IDA) across different therapeutic areas and identify recommendations, if any, for the treatment of IDA. Methods: A literature search was conducted in Medline, EMBASE, BIOSIS, Cochrane Collaboration, and on websites of relevant professional associations. Searches were limited to English publications. 1,292 citations were identified, 219 papers were assessed, and 35 guidelines were identified for inclusion. Results: The guidelines covered a variety of geographies: United States (US; n = 10); Europe (n = 11); ‘Rest-of-World’ (n = 9); and ‘Other’ organizations (n = 5). These covered a variety of specialties. Guidelines defined iron deficiency and IDA generally by serum ferritin and transferrin saturation levels. One-fifth of the reviewed guidelines (7 of 35) included no mention or recommendation regarding parenteral iron’s utility in the management of IDA. Fifteen guidelines recommended using parenteral iron in the management of IDA. Fewer US guidelines included recommendations around IV iron than in Europe or the rest of the world. Approximately 60% of the guidelines have not been updated in ≥5 years and consequently do not reflect current evidence on the safety and efficacy of IV iron. Conclusions: While national and international guidelines for management of IDA exist, many are outdated and do not reflect current evidence including, but not limited to, parenteral iron use. Urgent consideration should be given to updating and clarifying management guidelines for IDA using the latest treatment modalities and options, particularly in the US.
Aspirates in Korean: Perspectives on Coalescence, CL, and Gemination
Creators: name: Kim, Soomee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Korean non-continuant obstruents are typologically unusual in that they have a three-way contrast, but they are all voiceless. The three different categories are often called plain (lenis), tense (fortis), and aspirated. Although the fact that Korean non-continuant obstruents have three different types of phonation is well-established, the underlying representation, either structural or featural, of each type has not reached a consensus and still undergoes a lot of controversy. In this study, I focus on the aspirated consonants and argue that they are underlyingly geminates With a specified [s.g.] feature. This is supported by a phonological phenomenon called aspiration, which is analyzed as coalescence. Sumner argues for a view of Compensatory Lengthening in which Compensatory Lengthening results from the coalescence rather than deletion of a segment (Sumner 1999). In the present thesis, I argue that aspirated consonants in Modern Seoul Korean are geminates (cf. Martin 1951 who proposes aspirates are clusters; Kim J. 1986, Kim S. 1990, Jun 1989, 1991, 1994 who also posit a geminate analysis). The geminate structure of aspirates, either underlying or derived, is underlyingly contrastive, and a surface result of morphophonemic alternation which I argue is the result of Compensatory Lengthening under a coalescence interpretation. For the analysis, I use an Optimality Theory account (Prince & Smolensky 1993) within moraic theory (Hyman 1985, among others). I also show that the asymmetry between progressive and regressive aspiration that used to be treated by derivational theory can be solved within Benua's (1997) Transderivational Correspondence Theory. The goal of this research is to provide a complete account of aspiration in Korean within Optimality Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1993, 1995, Prince & Smolensky 1993) with its implications for the current theory of phonological representation.

description: Flexible electronics, as an emerging field, has gained tremendous attention over the past few years with the advancement in areas such as two-dimensional (2D) materials fabrication and transfer printing techniques. Mechanical peeling, where thin film materials or printed patterns are transferred from a donor substrate to a target substrate, is demonstrated to be a promising and key operation to transfer 2D material or fabricating complex flexible electronic devices, and it is shown that in many cases performing the mechanical peeling process at a desired peeling condition is needed for high quality product. However, despite the promise of mechanical peeling techniques, studies on scaling up the process and enabling the process in a high-volume manufacturing setting are lacking. In this study, a R2R mechanical peeling process that enables continuous and high-throughput transfer of 2D materials and printed electronics has been developed. The system allows for speed and tension control and is used for performing 2D materials transfer. A system model of the R2R process is derived by integrating the peeling process with the R2R system dynamics. The proposed model provides fundamental understanding of the physics involved in the process, including the interactions between peeling front and the roller dynamics. The model can be effectively used for control design and simulation. The success of the R2R peeling process is dependent on the peeling front geometry and its stability during the peeling process. A real-time supervisory control strategy is developed to enable the peeling angle control in a R2R mechanical peeling process. The supervisory control strategy utilizes a peeling front model to estimate the peeling speed and the adhesion energy between the donor substrate and the material to be transferred. The information is used to generate reference signals for the web tension controllers at the regulatory level to adjust the web tensions in order to achieve desired peeling angles. The proposed control strategy is demonstrated with both simulation and experimental results. To reject periodic disturbances originating from rotating roller shafts and adhesion energy changes in the laminate, a model-based repetitive controller is developed and demonstrated.

description: We consider a massive particle driven with a constant force in a periodic potential and subjected to a dissipative friction. As a function of the drive and damping, the phase diagram of this paradigmatic model is well known to present a pinned, a sliding, and a bistable regime separated by three distinct bifurcation lines. In physical terms, the average velocity $v$ of the particle is nonzero only if either (i) the driving force is large enough to remove any stable point, forcing the particle to slide, or (ii) there are local minima but the damping is small enough, below a critical damping, for the inertia to allow the particle to cross barriers and follow a limit cycle; this regime is bistable and whether $v > 0$ or $v = 0$ depends on the initial state. In this paper, we focus on the asymptotes of the critical line separating the bistable and the pinned regimes. First, we study its behavior near the "triple point" where the pinned, the bistable, and the sliding dynamical regimes meet. Just below the critical damping we uncover a critical regime, where the line approaches the triple point following a power-law behavior. We show that its exponent is controlled by the normal form of the tilted potential close to its critical force. Second, in the opposite regime of very low damping, we revisit existing results by providing a simple method to determine analytically the exact behavior of the line in the case of a generic potential. The analytical estimates, accurately confirmed numerically, are obtained by exploiting exact soliton solutions describing the orbit in a modified tilted potential which can be mapped to the original tilted washboard potential. Our methods and results are particularly useful for an accurate description of underdamped nonuniform oscillators driven near their triple point.

description: Land use impacts of biofuel expansion have attracted a tremendous amount of attention because of the implications for the climate, the environment, and the food supply. To examine these impacts, we set up an economic framework that links input use and land allocation decisions with ethanol and agricultural commodity markets. Crops can be substitutes or complements in supply depending on the relative magnitude of three effects of crop prices: total cropland effect, land share effect, and input use effect. We show that with unregulated free markets, total cropland area increases with corn prices whether crops are substitutes or complements in supply. Similarly, higher corn yields from exogenous technical changes lead to cropland expansion. The impacts of yield increases for other crops are ambiguous. With a quantity mandate for ethanol, higher mandates mean larger cropland area if corn and other crops are substitutes in demand. For a given mandate, yield improvement causes total cropland to expand if crop demand is elastic enough, or to contract under a very general condition if crop demand is sufficiently inelastic.

description: This piece of study puts forward an analysis on the repoduction of family-agriculturists by means of the similar evidences found in two rural communities. Both the productive and the reproductive processes are simultaneous, and the continuous re-conversion of part of the production into new means re-creates the social and cultural conditions for the agriculturists' existence. The reproductive effort comes to the fore when one observes how family work is organized, how its successor is elected, how the estate growth occurs, and how they get to new agricultural or non-agricultural activities which will lead them to a financial improvement. This work starts off by presenting the theorical and book references used in the analisys of the studied problem. Later on, it will also present the reproduction strategies which are common features in both cases. A dynamic sharing of roles in family work was noticed, although it showed to be steady as far as the economic relevance of the activity is concerned, as it turns out to be restricted by the man/money and woman/house-caring criterium. The way they prepare their successors showed to be similar, as well as was how they use land acquisition to adjust heritage. Savings also feature in the form of cattle for the small land owners, whereas, historically speaking, swines play the same role for the farmhands. Migration and pluriactivity also showed up as fundamental tools for the expansion of the patrimony of young adults.also, in both cases, came the rural dealer figure performed by a community member. Therefore, the reproduction strategies prove to be similar in the process of development of the family - exploitation unit , resulting from conflicts and alliances, external and internal pressures which acted on themselves, in an effort to auto-exploit and auto-reproduce.

description: Demand flexibility is increasingly important for power grids, in light of growing penetration of renewable generation. Careful coordination of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can potentially modulate energy demand, decrease operating costs, and increase grid resiliency. However, it is challenging to control a heterogeneous population of TCLs: the control problem has a large state action space; each TCL has unique and complex dynamics; and multiple system-level objectives need to be optimized simultaneously. To address these challenges, we propose a distributed control solution, which consists of a central load aggregator that optimizes system-level objectives and building-level controllers that track the load profiles planned by the aggregator. To optimize our agents' policies, we draw inspirations from both reinforcement learning (RL) and model predictive control. Specifically, the aggregator is updated with an evolutionary strategy, which was recently demonstrated to be a competitive and scalable alternative to more sophisticated RL algorithms and enables policy updates independent of the building-level controllers. We evaluate our proposed approach across four climate zones in four nine-building clusters, using the newly-introduced CityLearn simulation environment. Our approach achieved an average reduction of 16.8% in the environment cost compared to the benchmark rule-based controller.

Its accomplishment was made possible by a theorical-methodological approach with a qualitative character. Its especifically intended to evaluate the Program’s meaning to the agriculturists, as well as the factors which limited their adopting it. The study is justified by the fact that the agriculturists’ perception constitutes an essencial tool in understanding the reasons for their adopting or not a Program of such nature.

description: Starting from a microscopic definition of an alignment vector proportional to the polarization, we discuss the hydrodynamics of polar liquid crystals with local $C_{\infty v}$-symmetry. The free energy for polar liquid crystals differs from that of nematic liquid crystals ($D_{\infty h}$) in that it contains terms violating the ${\bf{n}}\to -{\bf{n}}$ symmetry. First we show that these $\mathcal{Z}_2$-odd terms induce a general splay instability of a uniform polarized state in a range of parameters. Next we use the general Poisson-bracket formalism to derive the hydrodynamic equations of the system in the polarized state. The structure of the linear hydrodynamic modes confirms the existence of the splay instability.

description: Wavefront-preserving x-ray diamond crystal optics are essential for numerous applications in x-ray science. Perfect crystals with flat Bragg planes are a prerequisite for wavefront preservation in Bragg diffraction. However, this condition is difficult to realize in practice because of inevitable crystal imperfections. Here we use x-ray rocking curve imaging to study the smallest achievable Bragg-plane slope errors in the best presently available synthetic diamond crystals and how they compare with those of perfect silicon crystals. We show that the smallest specific slope errors in the best diamond crystals (both freestanding or strain-free mounted) are about 0.15-0.2~$μ$rad/mm$^2$. These errors are only a factor of two larger than the 0.05-0.1~$μ$rad/mm$^2$ specific slope errors we measure in perfect silicon crystals. High-temperature annealing at 1450$^{\circ}$C of almost flawless diamond crystals reduces the slope errors very close to those of silicon. Further investigations are required to establish the wavefront-preservation properties of these crystals.

description: We fit the Florida Model with an AR(1) error structure to pooled cross-country International Comparison Project (ICP) data of Seale, Walker, and Kim and estimate the model with the minimum information (MI) estimator. Point estimates obtained by MI are similar in value to those obtained by Seale, Walker, and Kim with maximum likelihood (ML). Two similar simulations but with different sample sizes are conducted to compare the relative efficiencies of MI and ML with known and unknown (MLU) covariances. In the larger sample, the MLU is more efficient in terms of root-mean-squared errors (RMSEs) than the MI. Noteworthy, in the small sample, the MI is more efficient in terms of RMSEs than MLU, even though MLU explicitly accounts for AR(1), whereas the MI does not. These results correspond to earlier findings of Theil for time-series and cross-sectional data.

description: Background: There is a general perception that research is underdeveloped in rehabilitation professions. However, a PubMed search found that the growth in publications in the rehabilitation field was twice that of the general medical field. Despite this growth, another study focusing on Europe found that the proportion of articles reporting on clinical research in the rehabilitation field remained low (less than 40% of articles). This could be due to lack of teaching about research in rehabilitation schools or the late introduction of such courses. Aims: Describe the students’ perceptions of research: their desire to conduct research, the usefulness of research and research competence. Methods: Questionnaire survey targeting all French paramedical students (speech therapy, occupational therapy, psychomotricity, audiometry, physiotherapy, orthoptics) in their final year of study in 2018-2019. Results: Overall, 791 students completed the full survey representing a response rate of 36.2% of the students contacted. Only 34.4% of rehabilitation students were willing to conduct research despite finding it useful (98.6%). The main barrier was the preference for their core operational work (cited 444 times, representing 17.6% of citations). There was a significant relation between perceived competence and the attractiveness of research: 84% of the students not interested in research felt they were not competent to conduct research but this figure dropped to 57.6% amongst the students interested in research (OR 4.0 95% CI 2.9-5.6). Using a multivariate analysis, we confirmed that the main incentive was feeling competent, as well as past contact with research and supervisors who promoted research work. Conclusion: Students have little contact with research during their internships, low perceived competence and, consequently, little desire to conduct research.

description: Polarized diffuse emission observations at 2.3 GHz in a high Galactic latitude area are presented. The 2\degr X 2\degr field, centred in (α=5^h,δ=-49\degr), is located in the region observed by the BOOMERanG experiment. Our observations has been carried out with the Parkes Radio telescope and represent the highest frequency detection done to date in low emission areas. Because of a weaker Faraday rotation action, the high frequency allows an estimate of the Galactic synchrotron contamination of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization (CMBP) that is more reliable than that done at 1.4 GHz. We find that the angular power spectra of the E- and B-modes have slopes of β_E = -1.46 +/- 0.14 and β_B = -1.87 +/- 0.22, indicating a flattening with respect to 1.4 GHz. Extrapolated up to 32 GHz, the E-mode spectrum is about 3 orders of magnitude lower than that of the CMBP, allowing a clean detection even at this frequency. The best improvement concerns the B-mode, for which our single-dish observations provide the first estimate of the contamination on angular scales close to the CMBP peak (about 2 degrees). We find that the CMBP B-mode should be stronger than synchrotron contamination at 90 GHz for models with T/S > 0.01. This low level could move down to 60-70 GHz the optimal window for CMBP measures.

description: High-dimensional latent representations learned by neural network classifiers are notoriously hard to interpret. Especially in medical applications, model developers and domain experts desire a better understanding of how these latent representations relate to the resulting classification performance. We present Projective Latent Interventions (PLIs), a technique for retraining classifiers by back-propagating manual changes made to low-dimensional embeddings of the latent space. The back-propagation is based on parametric approximations of t-distributed stochastic neighbourhood embeddings. PLIs allow domain experts to control the latent decision space in an intuitive way in order to better match their expectations. For instance, the performance for specific pairs of classes can be enhanced by manually separating the class clusters in the embedding. We evaluate our technique on a real-world scenario in fetal ultrasound imaging.

description: Суд присяжных заседателей занимает особое место среди институтов российского правосудия и является важной частью судебной системы Российской Федерации. В статье рассматриваются отдельные вопросы, связанные с возникновением и развитием института суда присяжных в России, анализируются
проблемы его реформирования и функционирования в современной России. Отмечаются специфические проблемы возрождения института суда присяжных заседателей, имевшие место быть как в рамках УПК РСФСР 1960 года, продолжавшего действовать в течение десяти лет после распада СССР, так и возникшие с принятием
нового УПК РФ в 2002 году. Отмечается, что в настоящее время эффективному функционированию суда присяжных в России препятствуют такие проблемы, как низкий уровень правосознания россиян и нежелание участвовать в работе суда присяжных. Автор высказывает мнение, что, несмотря на множество до сих пор не
решенных проблем, препятствующих эффективному функционированию суда присяжных в России, институт присяжных заседателей является важным и нужным для нашей страны. Обосновывается необходимость существования суда присяжных как фактора развития гражданского общества.

description: A novel, concurrent multiscale approach to meso/macroscale plasticity is demonstrated. It utilizes a carefully designed coupling of a partial differential equation (pde) based theory of dislocation mediated crystal plasticity with time-averaged inputs from microscopic Dislocation Dynamics (DD), adapting a state-of-the-art mathematical coarse-graining scheme. The stress-strain response of mesoscopic samples at realistic, slow, loading rates up to appreciable values of strain is obtained, with significant speed-up in compute time compared to conventional DD. Effects of crystal orientation, loading rate, and the ratio of the initial mobile to sessile dislocation density on the macroscopic response, for both load and displacement controlled simulations are demonstrated. These results are obtained without using any phenomenological constitutive assumption, except for thermal activation which is not a part of microscopic DD. The results also demonstrate the effect of the internal stresses on the collective behavior of dislocations, manifesting, in a set of examples, as a Stage I to Stage II hardening transition.

description: Emergence of neutrino physics is fueled by the recent growth in quality and quantity of experimental data, yet, there are still open questions. How much can the determination of mixing parameters be improved? Can we improve bounds on theta_13 before experiments designed specifically for this parameter start? How well can we determine or limit sterile fraction of neutrino flux from sun and sterile mixing angle? We examine the impact of outcome from new measurements in the context of providing answers to these questions

description: We use international comparison data of Summers and Heston to trace the development of three regions in Western Europe: the countries currently outside the European Union (EEC), the EEC Center, and the EEC Periphery (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain). For each year during the period 1950-1990, the per capita gross domestic products of these regions decrease in this order, but the development over time shows a rapid increase of all three regions as well as a mutual convergence, the inequality of the regions and their constituent countries declining substantially.

description: The pressure-temperature phase diagrams of the heavy fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn$_5$ and the heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn$_5$ have been studied under hydrostatic pressure by ac calorimetry and ac susceptibility measurements using diamond anvil cells with argon as pressure medium. In CeRhIn$_5$, the use of a highly hydrostatic pressure transmitting medium allows for a clean simultaneous determination by a bulk probe of the antiferromagnetic and superconducting transitions. We compare our new phase diagram with the previous ones, discuss the nature (first or second order) of the various lines, and the coexistence of antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity. The link between the collaps of the superconducting heat anomaly and the broadening of the antiferromagnetic transition points to an inhomogeneous appearence of superconductivity below $P_c \approx 1.95$ GPa. Homogeneous bulk superconductivity is only observed above this critical pressure. We present a detailed analysis of the influence of pressure inomogeneities on the specific heat anomalies which emphasizes that the observed broadening of the transitions near $P_c$ is connected with the first order transition. For CeCoIn$_5$ we show that the large specific heat anomaly observed at $T_c$ at ambient pressure is suppressed linearly at least up to 3 GPa.
