description: Background The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study has generated a wealth of data on death and disability outcomes in Europe. It is important to identify the disease burden that is attributable to risk factors and, therefore, amenable to interventions. This paper reports the burden attributable to risk factors, in deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), in the 28 European Union (EU) countries, comparing exposure to risks between them, from 2007 to 2017. Methods Retrospective descriptive study, using secondary data from the GBD 2017 Results Tool. For the EU-28 and each country, attributable (all-cause) age-standardized death and DALY rates, and summary exposure values are reported. Results In 2017, behavioural and metabolic risk factors showed a higher attributable burden compared with environmental risks, with tobacco, dietary risks and high systolic blood pressure standing out. While tobacco and air quality improved significantly between 2007 and 2017 in both exposure and attributable burden, others such as childhood maltreatment, drug use or alcohol use did not. Despite significant heterogeneity between EU countries, the EU-28 burden attributable to risk factors decreased in this period. Conclusion Accompanying the improvement of population health in the EU-28, a comparable trend is visible for attributable burden due to risk factors. Besides opportunities for mutual learning across countries with different disease/risk factors patterns, good practices (i.e. tobacco control in Sweden, air pollution mitigation in Finland) might be followed. On the opposite side, some concerning cases must be highlighted (i.e. tobacco in Bulgaria, Latvia and Estonia or drug use in Czech Republic). © The Author(s) 2021

description: Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is associated with increased risks for complications before, during, and after birth, in addition to risk of disease through to adulthood. Although placental insufficiency, failure to supply the fetus with adequate nutrients, underlies most cases of FGR, its causes are diverse and not fully understood. One of the few diagnosable causes of placental insufficiency in ongoing pregnancies is the presence of large chromosomal imbalances such as trisomy confined to the placenta; however, the impact of smaller copy number variants (CNVs) has not yet been adequately addressed. In this study, we confirm the importance of placental aneuploidy, and assess the potential contribution of CNVs to fetal growth. Methods: We used molecular-cytogenetic approaches to identify aneuploidy in placentas from 101 infants born small-for-gestational age (SGA), typically used as a surrogate for FGR, and from 173 non-SGA controls from uncomplicated pregnancies. We confirmed aneuploidies and assessed mosaicism by microsatellite genotyping. We then profiled CNVs using high-resolution microarrays in a subset of 53 SGA and 61 control euploid placentas, and compared the load, impact, gene enrichment and clinical relevance of CNVs between groups. Candidate CNVs were confirmed using quantitative PCR. Results: Aneuploidy was over tenfold more frequent in SGA-associated placentas compared to controls (11.9% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.0002, OR = 11.4, 95% CI 2.5–107.4), was confined to the placenta, and typically involved autosomes, whereas only sex chromosome abnormalities were observed in controls. We found no significant difference in CNV load or number of placental-expressed or imprinted genes in CNVs between SGA and controls, however, a rare and likely clinically-relevant germline CNV was identified in 5.7% of SGA cases. These CNVs involved candidate genes INHBB, HSD11B2, CTCF, and CSMD3. Conclusions: We conclude that placental genomic imbalances at the cytogenetic and submicroscopic level may underlie up to ~ 18% of SGA cases in our population. This work contributes to the understanding of the underlying causes of placental insufficiency and FGR, which is important for counselling and prediction of long term outcomes for affected cases.

description: Electrophysiological correlates of visual word recognition have typically been studied with single-word paradigms, or using word-by-
 word presentation (RSVP). An alternative approach to study word recognition under more natural conditions is to record fixation-related potentials (FRPs) time-locked to individual fixations during saccadic reading. While previous research has demonstrated the feasibility of this approach, existing FRP studies have focused on late and comparatively easy-to-measure components in the N400 latency range. The goal of the present study was to test for early effects of word frequency in FRPs and to compare their timing to effects in conventional event-related potentials (ERPs). Eye movements and EEG were simultaneously recorded while participants read lists of unrelated German nouns, which varied in terms of their word frequency. In half of the trials, participants read the lists in a normal, left-to-right fashion. In the other half, lists were presented in RSVP at a pace matched to reading speed in the FRP condition. To control for influences of correlated word properties (e.g. length) and oculomotor behavior, linear mixed models (LMMs) were specified for each sampling point of the event-related EEG. Word frequency modulated fixation duration and had two temporally separable effects in the FRP: One peaking at 550 ms after fixation onset, and one around 200 ms, that is, during the duration of the first fixation. Both effects were replicated with traditional RSVP presentation. Results suggest that it is feasible to identify early EEG correlates of lexical processing under natural reading conditions, allowing direct comparisons between EEG measures and fixation time.

description: Nowadays, global economic production is organized around a complex system of highly interdependent supply chains that are currently enormously disrupted due to COVID 19. What would happen if a fast-growing risk could pose a more significant threat to our supply chains? Are our supply chains resilient to climate change? Even though governments, businesses, and climate change organizations in developed countries are forced to work together trying to mitigate and adapt to this fast-moving phenomenon, developing countries like Egypt are less concerned about this topic. This study has developed a system dynamic model based on a four-phase mixed methodology approach; we captured the complex interconnected interactions between supply chain performance and climate change physical risks. A cognitive map was first developed to capture the relationship between the climate change physical risks variables and the supply chains. Then, historical climate data and data from a ceramic manufacturing company were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). A case study of a ceramic manufacturing company located in Egypt is provided to show the applicability of our developed system dynamic model. Lastly, we simulated different scenarios to assess the ramifications and consequences of climate change extreme weather-related events on the manufacturing process of the selected case company. We have observed a negative impact; a decrease in the manufacturing inventory level and production rate, total received orders and sales. As far as our knowledge, our study is the first to investigate the impacts of climate change extreme weather events on supply chains located in Egypt. Our main contribution is to prove and establish awareness among business owners, organizations, decision-makers and the Egyptian government that climate change and related extreme weather events exist and disruptions due to this fast-moving phenomenon must be considered.

description: Background Job satisfaction describes an employee’s motivation and/or feeling of satisfaction towards his/her work. Globally, healthcare professionals’ turnover and retention play a critical role in the delivery of essential health services. In Ghana, however, little has been done to ascertain job satisfaction levels among human resources for eye-health. The objective of this study therefore was to assess job satisfaction and its associated factors among optometrists in Ghana. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 304 registered and licensed optometrists of the Ghana Optometric Association between September 2018 and June 2019. A validated, well-structured questionnaire was used to elicit information on socio-demographic characteristics of participants and measures on job satisfaction. Scores from a five-point Likert scale was employed to examine job satisfaction and its associated factors. Linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between overall job satisfaction and its associated factors using Rasch logit scores. Results A total of 214 optometrists gave valid responses to the questionnaires used for the final analysis. The mean (± SD) score of the overall perception of job satisfaction among optometrists was 3.36 (± 1.00), with 74.3% of them being satisfied with their jobs. After statistical adjustment, Good work-life balance (Unstandardized co-efficient (β) = 0.288, p = 0.001), Salary (β = 0.222, p < 0.0005), Supervision (β = 0.117, p = 0.044), and Continuing Education Opportunities (β = 0.138, p = 0.017) were all significantly associated with higher levels of overall job satisfaction. Conclusions Most optometrists were satisfied with their jobs. Effective strategic planning and management of human resources for eye-health in Ghana are essential in the development of quality eye-health systems and the provision of high-quality eyecare services.

description: To improve the overall supply of renewable building materials, forestry industries around the world are seeking better ways to yield structural timber products from low diameter logs. Such logs are produced in large volumes, from both plantation thinnings and as the crowns of harvested saw log. However, they are marginally valued for use in conventional structures due to their small diameter, high dimensional tapering, and relatively low recovery volume and structural capacity when milled into sawn boards. This paper investigates the design of an optimised branched timber structure that utilises minimally processed round logs in their near-to natural dimensions, using a digital form-finding tool that combines the dual processes of Inventory-Constrained Design and Combinatorial Equilibrium modelling (CEM). A material inventory was generated directly from small diameter logs harvested from a plantation, giving a unique series of member lengths with associated diminishing diameters. The CEM model was used to optimise the geometric assignment of the inventory in a branched column structure, that also inherently benefits from members with diminishing diameter. This geometry was then developed into a proposition for a full scale branched column structure, with proof-of-concept design and prototyping of the intersecting geometry at the connection nodes undertaken. The development of this optimisation tool and the prototyping of the nodes, demonstrates feasibility for a novel application of this marginally valued forest resource that reduces material waste within the forestry and wood product value chains.

description: Next app prediction can help enhance user interface design, pre-loading of apps, and network optimizations. Prior work has explored this topic, utilizing multiple different approaches but challenges like the user cold-start problem, data sparsity, and privacy concerns related to contextual data like location histories, persist. The user cold-start problem occurs when a user has recently registered to the smartphone app system and there is not enough information about his/her preferences and his/her history of smartphone usage. In this work, we try to address the above issues. We introduce WhatsNextApp, an approach based on LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) networks using sequences of app usage logs. Our approach is inspired by Word Embeddings and treats sequences of app usage logs as sequences of words. We collect a real-life data set consisting of 975 Android users with over 22 million app usage events. We build a generic (user-independent) WhatsNextApp model and the evaluation with our data set shows that it outperforms related studies for existing users where we achieve a recall@8 (recall for the top 8 apps) of 92%. For the user cold-start problem with the 500 most frequent apps, we achieve a recall@8 of 82.7%.
The primary health care experiences of gay men in Australia
Creators: name: Sinclair, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The present research, consisting of two studies, was designed to examine the primary health care experiences of gay men in Australia and assess doctors' attitudes and training with regard to gay men and their health care. In the first study, 195 gay men were surveyed regarding their health issues and their primary health care experiences. The most important health concerns of gay men were stress and depression followed by HIV/AIDS, body image disorder and other sexually transmissible infections. Including those participants who were unsure, approximately one-half reported experiencing homophobia and almost one quarter reported experiencing discrimination in the provision of health care. Despite this, respondents were generally satisfied with their primary health care, although respondents felt that all GPs should receive additional undergraduate medical education regarding gay men's health. In the second study, 25 doctors (13 gay specialists and 12 non-gay specialists) were surveyed regarding their knowledge of gay men's health and their comfort working with gay men. Non-gay specialist GPs were less comfortable treating gay men, reported poorer communication and were more homophobic than their gay specialist counterparts. Further, doctors perceived their medical education regarding gay men's health has been inadequate. Together, the results of the two current studies suggest that disclosure of sexuality is an important issue for both gay men and doctors, and has the potential to impact on the quality of health care that gay men receive. In order to improve the level of disclosure, the pervasiveness of homophobia and discrimination in primary health care must be reduced. Finally, the results indicate that medical education must be updated to reflect current knowledge regarding the health issues of gay men. Failure to address these issues will condemn gay men to continued health inequality.

description: In this work, we propose a novel denoising technique, the icosahedral mesh denoising network (IMD-Net) for closed genus-0 meshes. IMD-Net is a deep neural network that produces a denoised mesh in a single end-to-end pass, preserving and emphasizing natural object features in the process. A preprocessing step, exploiting the homeomorphism between genus-0 mesh and sphere, remeshes an irregular mesh using the regular mesh structure of a frequency subdivided icosahedron. Enabled by gauge equivariant convolutional layers arranged in a residual U-net, IMD-Net denoises the remeshing invariant to global mesh transformations as well as local feature constellations and orientations, doing so with a computational complexity of traditional conv2D kernel. The network is equipped with carefully crafted loss function that leverages differences between positional, normal and curvature fields of target and noisy mesh in a numerically stable fashion. In a first, two large shape datasets commonly used in related fields, ABC and ShapeNetCore , are introduced to evaluate mesh denoising. IMD-Net’s competitiveness with existing state-of-the-art techniques is established using both metric evaluations and visual inspection of denoised models. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/jjabo/IMD-Net.

description: Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) is considered as a key potential enabler to improve driving safety and traffic efficiency. It allows for automated vehicle following using wireless communication in addition to onboard sensors. To achieve string stability in CACC platoons, constant time gap (CTG) spacing policies have prevailed in research; namely, vehicle interspacing grows with the speed. While constant distance gap (CDG) spacing policies provide superior potential to increase traffic capacity than CTG, their major drawbacks are a smaller safety margin at high velocities and that string stability cannot be achieved using a one-vehicle look-ahead communication. In this work, we propose to apply CDG only in a few driving situations, when traffic throughput is of highest importance and safety requirements can be met due to relatively low velocities. As the most relevant situations where CDG could be applied, we identify starting platoons at signalized intersections. With this application scenario we show that applying CDG only in a few specific and crucial situation can have a major impact on traffic efficiency. Specifically, we compare CTG with CDG regarding its potential to increase the capacity of traffic lights. Starting with the elementary situation of single traffic lights we expand our scope to whole traffic networks including several thousand vehicles in simulation. Using real world data to calibrate and validate vehicle dynamics simulation and traffic simulation, the study discusses the most relevant working parameters of CDG, CTG, and the traffic system in which both are applied.

description: Die Forschung im Bereich der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (HCI) nutzt ein zunehmend breiter werdendes Methodenspektrum für eine sich immer weiter auffächernde Bandbreite von Forschungsfeldern. Zahlreiche Studien verlassen für die Datenerhebung den vertraut-kontrollierbaren Kosmos von Laboren und Versuchsständen, um stattdessen im Feld mehr über das Verhalten einer NutzerInnengruppe im „natürlichen“ Kontext zu erfahren. Für jede Forschung gelten unabhängig von Feld und Methode die forschungsethischen Grundprinzipien der Freiwilligkeit, Benefizienz und Gerechtigkeit. Um das Freiwilligkeits-Prinzips in der Forschungspraxis zu gewährleisten, stellt der Einsatz von Einverständniserklärungen als informierte Zustimmung bzw. Informed Consent (IC) einen kritischen Punkt für jedes Studiendesign dar. Für viele qualitative Methoden besteht in Bezug auf das Gebot des IC in der HCI Forschung eine direkte Analogie zu der etablierten Ethikpraxis für quantitative Methoden. Die Ethnografie nimmt hier jedoch eine gewisse Sonderstellung ein. Begründet in ihrem methodischen Kernansatz der in-situ Beobachtung stellt insbesondere das Thema IC immer wieder eine ethische und forschungspraktische Herausforderung dar, da es bei einer feldbasierten und damit interaktionsoffenen Forschung schwieriger ist festzustellen, welche der beteiligten Personen als direkte ForschungsteilnehmerInnen zu konzeptualisieren sind bzw. von welchen Personen ein IC in welcher Form gebraucht wird. Dieser Artikel rückt die Frage nach einem sinnvollen und ethisch korrekten Einsatz von IC in ethnografischen Studien im HCI Bereich ins Zentrum der Betrachtung. Mit der Skala der situationsangemessenen Privatsphärenerwartung und IC (SPIC-Skala) wird ein praxistauglicher Lösungsansatz vorgestellt, der sich bereits in zahlreichen Forschungsprojekten im HCI Kontext bewährt hat. Kernargument der SPIC-Skala ist, dass Forschende sich in ihren IC Maßnahmen an den situationsabhängigen Privatsphärenerwartungen von beteiligten Personen orientieren sollten. Eine solche Wahrung der Privatsphärenerwartungen sehen wir als forschungspraktische Operationalisierung des Freiwilligkeits-Prinzips in offenen Forschungssituationen. Dass ein solches Schema jedoch kein „Freifahrtschein“ sein kann, und immer wieder aufs Neue für den eigenen Kontext geprüft werden muss, wird in einem abschließenden Fazit diskutiert.

description: The carbon flux between the atmosphere and the geosphere is linked by a broad range of geodynamic and magmatic processes which govern the deep carbon cycles on all telluric planets, asteroids, and moons. On Earth, carbon is introduced into the mantle by subduction. On Mars, deep carbon is mobilised by magmatism and mantle convection, with delamination the only likely mechanism to recycle crustal carbon. The mobilisation and transportation of phases across P-T-X gradients result in the destabilisation of carbon-bearing and hydrated minerals leading to the formation of melts and fluids. Both act as mass-transfer agents, mobilising and transferring carbon. The interaction of fluids and magmas with surrounding rocks results in metasomatism. The role of carbon-rich fluids in the formation of metasomatic minerals and methane reservoirs on Earth and Mars has been studied via thermodynamic modelling. Here I present the results of predictive simulations to express the evolution of metasomatic systems at different P-T-fO₂ conditions. This study finds that the traditional distinction of diamonds through paragenetic groups cannot be used as a genetic classification because fluid-rock metasomatism can produce the compositional range of garnet and clinopyroxene found as inclusions in diamonds. The amount of carbon in the system – and its speciation – controls the geochemistry of metasomatic silicates, highlighting how carbon is even more influential than previously thought. Furthermore, fluid metasomatism can convert depleted mantle rocks into fertile websterites without championing a mechanism involving partial melting. Fluids have all the rock-forming elements to precipitate anhydrous silicates, and the presence or absence of hydrated minerals is no reliable evidence to distinguish melt and fluid metasomatism. Finally, the reduced conditions of Mars favour the formation of methane, which can be stored in geological reservoirs and then transported to the surface, sustaining the CH₄-based greenhouse required for liquid water on the surface of Early Mars.

description: The separation between analysis and design phases has long been advocated in software engineering literature. There has been active interest in the the area of agent oriented software engineering but the methodologies developed do not focus on a clear separation between the two phases. Furthermore, existing agent oriented methodologies tend to be tied to a particular design architecture and applicable onlyfor small systems. In this paper, we describe a goal and role based analysis methodology that is both unbiased towards any design architecture and is scalable. The model is derived from improvements to the ROADMAP methodology for agent onented systems developed at the Universityof Melbourne. We also present REBEL - a CASE tool developed to support the methodology. Furthermore, several examples and experiences with the method are discussed We conclude by comparing analysis models of other agent oriented methodologies to ours.

description: Degradation of particulate organic carbon (POC) such as leaf litter might deplete dissolved oxygen within the upper layers of bank filtration, an efficient and robust barrier for pathogens and for various organic micro-pollutants (OMP) in water supply systems worldwide. The degradation of OMP during bank filtration depends on the redox conditions. The present study aimed at identifying the impacts and fates of different local leaves on the oxygen consumption and the possible biological degradation of indicator OMP. Oxygen concentrations initially decreased within the columns from around 8 mg/L in the influent to low concentrations indicating extensive consumption within a short travel distance. Still a substantial oxygen consumption was observed after 250 days. OMP concentrations were not significantly affected by the microbial processes. A layer of calcium carbonate crystallites was observed on the POC layer. Some leaf fragments appeared to be persistant towards degradation and the carbon content relative to nitrogen and sulfur contents decreased within 250 days. The results demonstrate that trees at bank filtration sites might have a strong long-term impact on the subsurface redox conditions. © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

description: Background The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and the ERIC compilation of implementation strategies are key resources for identifying implementation barriers and strategies. However, their respective density and complexity make their application to implementation planning outside of academia challenging. We developed the CFIR Card Game as a way of working with multi-stakeholder implementation teams that were implementing mental health recovery into their services, to identify barriers and strategies to overcome them. The aim of this descriptive evaluation is to describe how the game was prepared, played, used and received by teams and researchers and their perception of the clarity of the CFIR constructs. Methods We used the new CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool v.1 to design the game. We produced a deck of cards with each of the CFIR-ERIC Matching Tool barrier narratives representing all 39 CFIR constructs. Teams played the game at the pre-implementation stage at a time when they were actively engaged in a planning process for implementing their selected recovery-oriented innovation. The teams placed each card in either the YES or NO column of the board in response to whether they anticipated experiencing this barrier in their setting. Teams were also asked about the clarity of the barrier narratives and were provided with plain language versions if unclear. Researchers completed a reflection form following the game, and participants completed an open-added questionnaire that included questions specific to the CFIR Card Game. We applied a descriptive coding approach to analysis. Results Four descriptive themes emerged from this analysis: (1) the CFIR Card Game as a useful and engaging process, (2) difficulties understanding CFIR construct barrier narratives, (3) strengths of the game’s design and structure and room for improvement and (4) mediating factors: facilitator preparation and multi-stakeholder dynamics. Quantitative findings regarding the clarity of the barrier narratives were integrated with qualitative data under theme 2. Only seven of the 39 original barrier narratives were judged to be clear by all teams. Conclusions The CFIR Card Game can be used to enhance implementation planning. Plain language versions of CFIR construct barrier narratives are needed. Our plain language versions require further testing and refining.

'Downfall': almost the same old story
Creators: name: Neumann, Klaus

description: For a long time, Joachim C. Fest, a journalist and high-profile German historian of the Third Reich, has been fascinated by the historical figure of Adolf Hitler. One of his books on Hitler informs a two-and-a-half hour film. It attracts large audiences in Germany, but is controversial. The filmmaker Wim Wenders is one of its staunchest critics and publishes an article in the weekly Die Zeit, in which he says that he never before wrote about a film out of anger. The media’s and the German public’s obsession with Hitler in the wake of the film is referred to as Hitlerwelle, the ‘Hitler fad’. [Introduction]
