description: Though it is a critical commonplace that English revenge tragedy began with Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy, there has been little systematic discussion of how revenge fared as a dramatic theme before Kyd’s inaugural work. This essay reexamines the importance of revenge in early Elizabethan drama, by broadly surveying its thematic and rhetorical prominence in the corpus of extant plays that predate Kyd’s tragedy. The prominence of revenge in pre-Kydian drama reveals that The Spanish Tragedy intensifies and systematizes structurally a theme that had for decades already been a well-worn mainstay on the English stage. A study of early dramatic revenge provides the basis for a more contextually sensitive account of revenge tragedy’s origin, and of its larger relationship to contemporary Elizabethan theatre.

description: Wherever we go, we need resources. Finding those resources in unmapped areas is an ever-present challenge. Nature provides many examples of systems that manage to nd the resources they need for growth, despite having little to no information about their environment. Emulating the resource- finding strategies of animals and insects has been, and continues to be, attempted in robotic systems, to varying degrees of success. However, borrowing strategies from plants is much less explored. This dissertation explores an attempt at distilling the resource-hunting methods of plant roots into a collective robotic system.
Utilizing low-power computing and wireless communication, the robots attempt to locate "resources" (radio beacons, in this case) in an unmapped area. They work collectively via extending and branching from each other. The results of this experiment show limited success, with the limitations primarily stemming from the wireless communication. Nonetheless, it is shown that a collective robotic system, emulating plant roots, can feasibly locate resources that display a gradient, with no map of the environment.

description: Background: Estimates of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence in a population prior to and after HPV vaccine introduction are essential to evaluate the short-term impact of vaccination. Methods: Between 2010 and 2012 we conducted a population-based cross-sectional study in Germany to determine HPV prevalence, genotype distribution and risk factors for HPV-infection in women aged 20-25 years. Women were recruited by a two-step cluster sampling approach. A home-based self-collection of cervicovaginal lavages was used. Specimens were analysed using a general primer GP5+/GP6+-based polymerase chain reaction and genotyped for 18 high-risk and 6 low-risk HPV- strains by Luminex-based multiplexed genotyping. Results: Among 787 included women, 512 were not vaccinated against HPV. In the non-vaccinated population, HPV prevalence of any type was 38.1%, with HPV 16 (19.5%) being the most prevalent genotype. Prevalence of any high-risk type was 34.4%, and in 17.4% of all women, more than one genotype was identified. A higher number of lifetime sexual partners and low educational status were independently associated with HPV-infection. In 223 vaccinated women, prevalence of HPV 16/18 was significantly lower compared to non-vaccinated women (13.9% vs. 22.5%, p = 0.007). When stratifying by age groups, this difference was only significant in women aged 20-21 years, who at time of vaccination were on average younger and had less previous sexual contacts than women aged 22-25 years. Conclusion: We demonstrate a high prevalence of high-risk HPV genotypes in non-vaccinated women living in Germany that can be potentially prevented by vaccination. Probable first vaccination effects on the HPV prevalence were observed in women who were vaccinated at younger age. This finding reinforces the recommendation to vaccinate girls in early adolescence.

description: The induction of 2F5- and 4E10-like antibodies broadly neutralising HIV-1 and targeting the membrane external proximal region (MPER) of the transmembrane envelope protein gp41 would be a major advancement for the development of a preventive HIV-1 vaccine, but successful attempts remain rare. Recent studies demonstrated that broadly reactive antibodies develop relatively late during infection and after intensive affinity maturation. Therefore, a prolonged antigen delivery might be beneficial to induce them. Replicating foamy viruses which are characterised by apathogenic but persistent infection could represent suitable carrier viruses for this purpose. In order to develop such a system, we modified the accessory foamy virus Bet protein to contain the MPER of gp41, or the MPER linked to the stabilising fusion peptide proximal region of gp41 and analysed here the antigenic and immunogenic properties of such hybrid proteins. The antigens, expressed and purified to homogeneity, were recognised by the monoclonal antibodies 2F5 and 4E10 with nanomolar affinities and induced high levels of antibodies specific to gp41 after immunisation of rats. The antisera also bound to virus particles attached to infected cells, and peptide-based epitope mapping showed that they recognised the 2F5 epitope. Although no HIV-1 neutralising activity was observed, the presented data demonstrate that using the foamy virus Bet for HIV-1 epitope delivery is successfully applicable. Together with the attractive potential for sustained antigen expression after transfer to replicating virus, these results should therefore provide a first basis for the development of chimeric foamy viruses as novel HIV-1 vaccine vectors.

description: Information on global human movement patterns is central to spatial epidemiological models used to predict the behavior of influenza and other infectious diseases. Yet it remains difficult to test which modes of dispersal drive pathogen spread at various geographic scales using standard epidemiological data alone. Evolutionary analyses of pathogen genome sequences increasingly provide insights into the spatial dynamics of influenza viruses, but to date they have largely neglected the wealth of information on human mobility, mainly because no statistical framework exists within which viral gene sequences and empirical data on host movement can be combined. Here, we address this problem by applying a phylogeographic approach to elucidate the global spread of human influenza subtype H3N2 and assess its ability to predict the spatial spread of human influenza A viruses worldwide. Using a framework that estimates the migration history of human influenza while simultaneously testing and quantifying a range of potential predictive variables of spatial spread, we show that the global dynamics of influenza H3N2 are driven by air passenger flows, whereas at more local scales spread is also determined by processes that correlate with geographic distance. Our analyses further confirm a central role for mainland China and Southeast Asia in maintaining a source population for global influenza diversity. By comparing model output with the known pandemic expansion of H1N1 during 2009, we demonstrate that predictions of influenza spatial spread are most accurate when data on human mobility and viral evolution are integrated. In conclusion, the global dynamics of influenza viruses are best explained by combining human mobility data with the spatial information inherent in sampled viral genomes. The integrated approach introduced here offers great potential for epidemiological surveillance through phylogeographic reconstructions and for improving predictive models of disease control.
Writing Woodstock: The Prehistory of Richard II and Shakespeare’s Dramatic Method

Subjects: subject: Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616
subject: European drama--Renaissance

description: In Shakespeare’s Richard II, the dramatic function of Thomas of Woodstock (King Richard’s murdered uncle) has long been a source of contention and confusion. This essay argues that Woodstock’s role in the play cannot be understood without reference to Richard II’s “prehistory”: the complex series of political circumstances and events that predates the action of Shakespeare’s play. Though unstaged in Richard II, this antecedent history crucially shapes the opening acts of the play --and the consideration of this broader historical landscape elucidates many of its puzzling early moments. The prehistory of Woodstock’s death offers an important new context for Richard II’s opening movement, just as it freshly illuminates Shakespeare’s broader compositional strategy in the play.

description: Background: The Project on a Framework for Rating Evidence in Public Health (PRECEPT) was initiated and is being funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) to define a methodology for evaluating and grading evidence and strength of recommendations in the field of public health, with emphasis on infectious disease epidemiology, prevention and control. One of the first steps was to review existing quality appraisal tools (QATs) for individual research studies of various designs relevant to this area, using a question-based approach. Methods: Through team discussions and expert consultations, we identified 20 relevant types of public health questions, which were grouped into six domains, i.e. characteristics of the pathogen, burden of disease, diagnosis, risk factors, intervention, and implementation of intervention. Previously published systematic reviews were used and supplemented by expert consultation to identify suitable QATs. Finally, a matrix was constructed for matching questions to study designs suitable to address them and respective QATs. Key features of each of the included QATs were then analyzed, in particular in respect to its intended use, types of questions and answers, presence/absence of a quality score, and if a validation was performed. Results: In total we identified 21 QATs and 26 study designs, and matched them. Four QATs were suitable for experimental quantitative study designs, eleven for observational quantitative studies, two for qualitative studies, three for economic studies, one for diagnostic test accuracy studies, and one for animal studies. Included QATs consisted of six to 28 items. Six of the QATs had a summary quality score. Fourteen QATs had undergone at least one validation procedure. Conclusions: The results of this methodological study can be used as an inventory of potentially relevant questions, appropriate study designs and QATs for researchers and authorities engaged with evidence-based decision-making in infectious disease epidemiology, prevention and control.

description: Background: In the first five I-MOVE (Influenza Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness in Europe) influenza seasons vaccine effectiveness (VE) results were relatively homogenous among participating study sites. In 2013–2014, we undertook a multicentre case-control study based on sentinel practitioner surveillance networks in six European Union (EU) countries to measure 2013–2014 influenza VE against medically-attended influenza-like illness (ILI) laboratory-confirmed as influenza. Influenza A(H3N2) and A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses co-circulated during the season. Methods: Practitioners systematically selected ILI patients to swab within eight days of symptom onset. We compared cases (ILI positive to influenza A(H3N2) or A(H1N1)pdm09) to influenza negative patients. We calculated VE for the two influenza A subtypes and adjusted for potential confounders. We calculated heterogeneity between sites using the I2 index and Cochrane's Q test. If the I2 was 49% we used a two-stage random effects model. Results: We included in the A(H1N1)pdm09 analysis 531 cases and 1712 controls and in the A(H3N2) analysis 623 cases and 1920 controls. For A(H1N1)pdm09, the Q test (p = 0.695) and the I2 index (0%) suggested no heterogeneity of adjusted VE between study sites. Using a one-stage model, the overall pooled adjusted VE against influenza A(H1N1)pdm2009 was 47.5% (95% CI: 16.4–67.0). For A(H3N2), the I2 was 51.5% (p = 0.067). Using a two-stage model for the pooled analysis, the adjusted VE against A(H3N2) was 29.7 (95% CI: −34.4–63.2). Conclusions: The results suggest a moderate 2013–2014 influenza VE against A(H1N1)pdm09 and a low VE against A(H3N2). The A(H3N2) estimates were heterogeneous among study sites. Larger sample sizes by study site are needed to prevent statistical heterogeneity, decrease variability and allow for two-stage pooled VE for all subgroup analyses.
Two component semiparametric density mixture models with a known component

Subjects: Statistics not elsewhere classified

description: Finite mixture models have been successfully used in many applications, such as classification, clustering, and many others. As opposed to classical parametric mixture models, nonparametric and semiparametric mixture models often provide more flexible approaches to the description of inhomogeneous populations. As an example, in the last decade a particular two-component semiparametric density mixture model with a known component has attracted substantial research interest. Our thesis provides an innovative way of estimation for this model based on minimization of a smoothed objective functional, conceptually similar to the log-likelihood. The minimization is performed with the help of an EM-like algorithm. We show that the algorithm is convergent and the minimizers of the objective functional, viewed as estimators of the model parameters, are consistent.
More specifically, in our thesis, a semiparametric mixture of two density functions is considered where one of them is known while the weight and the other function are unknown. For the first part, a new sufficient identifiability condition for this model is derived, and a specific class of distributions describing the unknown component is given for which this condition is mostly satisfied. A novel approach to estimation of this model is derived. That approach is based on an idea of using a smoothed likelihood-like functional as an objective functional in order to avoid ill-posedness of the original problem. Minimization of this functional is performed using an iterative Majorization-Minimization (MM) algorithm that estimates all of the unknown parts of the model. The algorithm possesses a descent property with respect to the objective functional. Moreover, we show that the algorithm converges even when the unknown density is not defined on a compact interval. Later, we also study properties of the minimizers of this functional viewed as estimators of the mixture model parameters. Their convergence to the true solution with respect to a bandwidth parameter is justified by reconsidering in the framework of Tikhonov-type functional. They also turn out to be large-sample consistent; this is justified using empirical minimization approach. The third part of the thesis contains a series of simulation studies, comparison with another method and a real data example. All of them show the good performance of the proposed algorithm in recovering unknown components from data.

description: Objective: Substantial country-level variation exists in prejudiced attitudes towards male homosexuality and in the extent to which countries promote the unequal treatment of MSM through discriminatory laws. The impact and underlying mechanisms of country-level stigma on odds of diagnosed HIV, sexual opportunities, and experience of HIV-prevention services, needs and behaviours have rarely been examined, however. Design: Data come from the European MSM Internet Survey (EMIS), which was administered between June and August 2010 across 38 European countries (N = 174 209). Methods: Country-level stigma was assessed using a combination of national laws and policies affecting sexual minorities and a measure of attitudes held by the citizens of each country. We also assessed concealment, HIV status, number of past 12-month male sex partners, and eight HIV-preventive services, knowledge, and behavioural outcomes. Results: MSM living in countries with higher levels of stigma had reduced odds of diagnosed HIV and fewer partners but higher odds of sexual risk behaviour, unmet prevention needs, not using testing services, and not discussing their sexuality in testing services. Sexual orientation concealment mediated associations between country-level stigma and these outcomes. Conclusion: Country-level stigma may have historically limited HIV transmission opportunities among MSM, but by restricting MSM's public visibility, it also reduces MSM's ability to access HIV-preventive services, knowledge and precautionary behaviours. These findings suggest that MSM in European countries with high levels of stigma are vulnerable to HIV infection. Although they have less opportunity to identify and contact other MSM, this might change with emerging technologies.

description: Background: Recent evidence suggests that the majority of HIV transmissions among men who have sex with men (MSM) occur between steady partners. We sought to determine factors associated with HIV transmission risks in steady partnerships. Methods: Data is from the German cross-sectional 2013 Gay Men and AIDS survey. The study population was HIV-negative or untested men reporting a steady partnership and at least one non-steady anal sex partner in the previous year. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine which of several independent variables best predicted both unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with a non-steady partner and lack of HIV testing in the past year (high-risk outcome group). Results: The study population consisted of 1731 men. Among individuals in the outcome group (n = 271), 67 % reported UAI with a non-steady partner of unknown status and 9 % reported UAI with a non-steady HIV-positive partner in the past 12 months; 55 % considered themselves to be at low risk for HIV acquisition. In multivariate analyses (n = 1304), participants were statistically more likely to belong to the outcome group if they reported UAI with their steady partner in the past year (OR = 2.21), did not know their steady partner’s HIV status (OR = 1.98), or agreed that condoms were disruptive during sex (OR = 3.82 (strongly agree), OR = 2.19 (agree)). Participants were less likely to belong to the outcome group if they were out to their primary doctor (OR = 0.54), were well-educated about post-exposure prophylaxis (OR = 0.46), had sought information on HIV in the past year and kept condoms in an accessible place (OR = 0.20), or believed that insisting on condoms would lead partners to assume they were HIV-negative (OR = 0.20). Participants in the outcome group were more likely to say they would use HIV home tests (OR = 1.58) or pre-exposure prophylaxis (OR = 2.11). Conclusions: Based on our results, we reflect on HIV prevention measures that should be improved in order to better target behaviors that may lead to HIV transmission between MSM in steady relationships. In particular, we highlight the need for multifaceted interventions focusing not only on members of the at-risk community themselves, but on communities as a whole.

description: Simultaneous detection of small and large molecules on microarray immunoassays is a challenge that limits some applications in multiplex analysis. This is the case for biosecurity, where fast, cheap and reliable simultaneous detection of proteotoxins and small toxins is needed. Two highly relevant proteotoxins, ricin (60 kDa) and bacterial toxin staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB, 30 kDa) and the small phycotoxin saxitoxin (STX, 0.3 kDa) are potential biological warfare agents and require an analytical tool for simultaneous detection. Proteotoxins are successfully detected by sandwich immunoassays, whereas competitive immunoassays are more suitable for small toxins (

description: A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo discutir os impactos emocionais gerados na mulher em decorrência da violência doméstica. A metodologia utilizada foi de caráter qualitativo, classificada como sendo Exploratória e Transversal. O trabalho buscou ressaltar que a violência contra as mulheres pode vir a ser uma forma de expressão das relações sociais estabelecidas em torno da questão de gênero e que podem vir esta alicerçada no sistema patriarcal, no qual naturaliza a supremacia masculina atribuindo socialmente às mulheres o papel de submissão e obediência. Nessa perspectiva essa pesquisa objetivou analisar os impactos emocionais gerados na mulher vítima de agressão. A pesquisa foi realizada na cidade de Mossoró no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, município o qual manifesta compromisso na ampliação de medidas de proteção as vítimas de violência doméstica, através de projetos de prevenção e rede de proteção ao combate à violência contra as mulheres. Portanto, a realização da presente pesquisa partiu da necessidade de estudos voltados para a temática sobre a importância da análise dos impactos emocionais, no qual, visa contribuir e promover para a sociedade uma visão elaborada e consciente sobre essa temática. Com isso, observou-se que as entrevistadas relataram sentimento de medo e culpa e não reconhecimento de si mesmas. Sendo possível destacar que houve impactos emocionais, bem como, ansiedade e depressão na vida dessas mulheres. Assim, acredita-se que a presente pesquisa alcançou seu objetivo de analisar os impactos emocionais gerados na mulher vítima de agressão doméstica.

description: Invertebrate-derived DNA (iDNA) from terrestrial haematophagous leeches has recently been proposed as a powerful non-invasive tool with which to detect vertebrate species and thus to survey their populations. However, to date little attention has been given to whether and how this, or indeed any other iDNA-derived data, can be combined with state-of-the-art analytical tools to estimate wildlife abundances, population dynamics and distributions. In this review, we discuss the challenges that face the application of existing analytical methods such as site-occupancy and spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models to terrestrial leech iDNA, in particular, possible violations of key assumptions arising from factors intrinsic to invertebrate parasite biology. Specifically, we review the advantages and disadvantages of terrestrial leeches as a source of iDNA and summarize the utility of leeches for presence, occupancy, and spatial capture-recapture models. The main source of uncertainty that attends species detections derived from leech gut contents is attributable to uncertainty about the spatio-temporal sampling frame, since leeches retain host-blood for months and can move after feeding. Subsequently, we briefly address how the analytical challenges associated with leeches may apply to other sources of iDNA. Our review highlights that despite the considerable potential of leech (and indeed any) iDNA as a new survey tool, further pilot studies are needed to assess how analytical methods can overcome or not the potential biases and assumption violations of the new field of iDNA. Specifically we argue that studies to compare iDNA sampling with standard survey methods such as camera trapping, and those to improve our knowledge on leech (and other invertebrate parasite) physiology, taxonomy, and ecology will be of immense future value.

description: Recruitment of the matrix protein M1 to the assembly site of the influenza virus is thought to be mediated by interactions with the cytoplasmic tail of hemagglutinin (HA). Based on a comprehensive sequence comparison of all sequences present in the database, we analyzed the effect of mutating conserved residues in the cytosol-facing part of the transmembrane region and cytoplasmic tail of HA (A/WSN/33 (H1N1) strain) on virus replication and morphology of virions. Removal of the two cytoplasmic acylation sites and substitution of a neighboring isoleucine by glutamine prevented rescue of infectious virions. In contrast, a conservative exchange of the same isoleucine, non-conservative exchanges of glycine and glutamine, deletion of the acylation site at the end of the transmembrane region and shifting it into the tail did not affect virus morphology and had only subtle effects on virus growth and on the incorporation of M1 and Ribo-Nucleoprotein Particles (RNPs). Thus, assuming that essential amino acids are conserved between HA subtypes we suggest that, besides the two cytoplasmic acylation sites (including adjacent hydrophobic residues), no other amino acids in the cytoplasmic tail of HA are indispensable for virus assembly and budding.

description: les particules constituent une préoccupation majeure surtout les particules fines compte tenu de leurs impacts sur la qualité de l’air et la santé publique. L’objectif fondamental vise à analyser les impacts des PM10 sur la qualité de l’air et la santé publique à Bamako. L’approche méthodologique a consisté à faire la recherche documentaire, à élaborer les guides d’entretien et à déterminer les prélèvements sur les sites. L’échantillonnage aléatoire simple a été utilisé et a concerné 10 sites de prélèvements sur 32 sites prospectés soit un pas de sondage de 10/32 soit 1/3. Nous avons utilisé les matériels tels que : le Global Positionning System (GPS), le capteur: aeroqual série 500. Les logiciels SPSS, Excel, World ont été utilisés. Les résultats sont: les PM10 sont présentes sur tous les sites et pendant les toutes les périodes de prélèvements. Pendant la journée du 19 janvier 2022, sur les deux rives, trois sites ont dépassé la norme de l’OMS, mais la grande valeur d’immission a été enregistrée à la Tour de l’Afrique  (71,16 µg/m3) ; pendant la journée du 28 avril 2022, sur la rive droite, quatre site ont dépassé la norme et  l’intersection Bacodjicoroni Kalabancoro a enregistré la plus grande valeur (174,35µg/m3), pendant la journée du 10 mai 2022 sur la rive gauche aucune valeur n’a dépasse la norme et pendant la journée du 8 août 2022, sur les deux rives, le polluant est présent sur tous les sites mais à l’entrée  à l’auto-gare a enregistré la plus grande valeur (77,09 µg/m3). La  DNCPN ne dispose aucun appareil de prélèvement des polluants dans l’air. La  gestion de la qualité de l’air nécessiterait une gestion intégrée et concertée, l’application des textes, l’acquisition des appareils appropriés aux prélèvements et à l’analyse de la qualité de l’air.

description: ABSTRACT

 

The study provides an overview of the current congestion at the signalized intersection of Troy Road, Center Grove Road and Goshen Road in Edwardsville, Illinois. Given its high traffic volume, especially during peak hours, a detailed analysis was necessary using VISSIM software to identify the optimal solution for reducing vehicle delay, stopped delay, and queue length. After the models were calibrated and validated, the performance was evaluated under the current traffic conditions. Firstly, the assessment focused on the existing state of the intersection, then for three models with modifications that resulted in significant improvement in the performance measures and Level of Service (LOS). Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate and compare the result of each scenario with the existing condition. Each scenario showed reduction in delay (vehicle delay and stop delay at the intersection), thereby enhancing intersection performance. Despite the most impactful scenario - adding the through lanes in the minor road (Centre Grove Road and the Goshen Road), factors such as cost, right of way (ROW), and construction time make it less viable. Based on the vehicle delay, LOS and stop delay, the traffic signal coordination scenario emerged as the best.
