description: Let $E$ be an arbitrary directed graph and let $L$ be the Leavitt path algebra of the graph $E$ over a field $K$. It is shown that every ideal of $L$ is an intersection of primitive/prime ideals in $L$ if and only if the graph $E$ satisfies Condition (K). Uniqueness theorems in representing an ideal of $L$ as an irredundant intersection and also as an irredundant product of finitely many prime ideals are established. Leavitt path algebras containing only finitely many prime ideals and those in which every ideal is prime are described. Powers of a single ideal $I$ are considered and it is shown that the intersection ${\displaystyle\bigcap\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}}I^{n}$ is the largest graded ideal of $L$ contained in $I$. This leads to an analogue of Krull's theorem for Leavitt path algebras.

description: Context: An inclusive and diverse public health workforce maximizes health outcomes. However, little is known about the current diversity and inclusiveness profile of professionals, leaders and students of public health. To obtain a diverse and inclusive (D&I) public health workforce in the future, D&I leadership in Public Health Schools is necessary to encourage a D&I student body. Policy Options: A variety of policy responses can be utilized to diversify schools of public health (SPH). Response types include (i) exploratory policies that instigate D&I research with the aim to increase knowledge and build hypotheses, (ii) regulatory (and financial) policies that change the environment by placing rules, restrictions, or expectations on the institution to increase and promote D&I and (iii) soft options, which are non-binding actions that aim to change the institutional culture surrounding D&I. However, policies are often not specifically tailored to their school and are therefore unsuccessful. Recommendations: To understand the composition and identify gaps within the current diversity and inclusion (D&I) profile of leadership in European Schools of Public Health (SPH) an exploratory needs assessment is advised. A baseline assessment will be the much needed first step of this paper’s proposed project: The Diverse and Inclusive Public Health Schools (DIPHS) Project. A needs assessment should be seen as a baseline evaluation of the current D&I profile among leaders in European Schools of Public Health (SPH). This information should then build the basis to encourage institution-tailored policy interventions for SPH to actively promote a diverse and inclusive public health workforce.

description: We use rigorous group-theoretic techniques and molecular dynamics to investigate the connection between structural symmetry and ionic conductivity in the garnet family of solid Li-ion electrolytes. We identify new ordered phases and order-disorder phase transitions that are relevant for conductivity optimization. Ionic transport in this materials family is controlled by the frustration of the Li sublattice caused by incommensurability with the host structure at non-integer Li concentrations, while ordered phases explain regions of sharply lower conductivity. Disorder is therefore predicted to be optimal for ionic transport in this and other conductor families with strong Li interaction.

description: Context: Access to education is a fundamental right that should be realised to the degree that every child can develop their talents to the fullest potential. Therefore, children with special education needs and disabilities (SEND) have the right to claim resources and aid to function in schools and should not be excluded from any level of mainstream education. However, the process towards executing this fundamental right is slowed down by existing ableist structures. Policy Options: This policy brief analyses inclusive education policies from the perspective of four different European Countries (Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and the United Kingdom). The data was synthesised using four types of ableism that are addressed in this policy brief. The gaps within definitions and argumentation were identified and discussed to provide recommendations concerning education for people with SEND. Recommendations: The evaluation provided three significant recommendations towards inclusive education systems by addressing ableist structures. Firstly, it is crucial to reduce the linguistic gaps between national educational policies and the underlying national laws. Secondly, it is necessary to include the target group and raise awareness for SEND to reinforce societal and scientific perspectives, and influence policy decision-making. Lastly, it is important to address the discrepancies between the inclusive education policies and the structural capacity. The synergy between these two key factors is crucial for an effective implementation of inclusive education.

description: The Arecibo L-Band Feed Array Zone of Avoidance (ALFA ZOA) Deep Survey is the deepest and most sensitive blind Hi survey undertaken in the ZOA. ALFA ZOA Deep will cover about 300 square degrees of sky behind the Galactic plane in both the inner (30 deg < l < 75 deg; b < |2 deg|) and outer (175 deg < l < 207 deg; -2 deg < b < +1 deg) Galaxy, using the Arecibo Radio Telescope. First results from the survey have found 61 galaxies within a 15 square degree area centered on l = 192 deg and b = -2 deg. The survey reached its expected sensitivity of rms = 1 mJy at 9 km/s channel resolution, and is shown to be complete above integrated flux, F_HI = 0.5 Jy km/s. The positional accuracy of the survey is 28 arcsec and detections are found out to a recessional velocity of nearly 19,000 km/s. The survey confirms the extent of the Orion and Abell 539 clusters behind the plane of the Milky Way and discovers expansive voids, at 10,000 km/s and 18,000 km/s. 26 detections (43%) have a counterpart in the literature, but only two of these have known redshift. Counterparts are 20% less common beyond v_hel = 10,000 km/s and 33% less common at extinctions higher than AB = 3.5 mag. ALFA ZOA Deep survey is able to probe large scale structure beyond redshifts that even the most modern wide-angle surveys have been able to detect in the Zone of Avoidance at any wavelength.

description: Conventional statistical mechanics describes large systems and averages over many particles or over many trials. But work, heat, and entropy impact the small scales that experimentalists can increasingly control, e.g., in single-molecule experiments. The statistical mechanics of small scales has been quantified with two toolkits developed in quantum information theory: resource theories and one-shot information theory. The field has boomed recently, but the theorems amassed have hardly impacted experiments. Can thermodynamic resource theories be realized experimentally? Via what steps can we shift the theory toward physical realizations? Should we care? I present eleven opportunities in physically realizing thermodynamic resource theories.

description: Context: Although the United Nations and the European Union are set to improve life on earth through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Framework, sex workers have not been included in this Framework, thereby further increasing various issues, which affect this group, such as discrimination, stigma, and poor mental- and physical health. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the already existing disadvantages of sex workers, highlighting the need for a systematic change to sustainably improve the empowerment and health status of sex workers throughout the European Union. Policy Options: The aim of this policy brief is to propose recommendations, which can contribute to the sustainable improvement of the health status and empowerment of sex workers throughout the EU. Policy options include a bottom-up approach with use of community-based organizations and public-private partnerships, targeting inclusion of sex workers, the organization of workshops, and the distribution of toolkits. Recommendations: • Inclusion of sex workers in the SDG Framework; • Organization of community-based workshops by and for sex workers; • Distribution of culture-personalized toolkits by and to sex workers.

description: The signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) is of key importance for the analysis and design of wireless networks. For addressing new requirements imposed on wireless communication, in particular high availability, a highly accurate modeling of the SINR is needed. We propose a stochastic model of the SINR distribution where shadow fading is characterized by random variables. Therein, the impact of shadow fading on the user association is incorporated by modification of the distributions involved. The SINR model is capable to describe all parts of the SINR distribution in detail, especially the left tail which is of interest for studies of high availability.

"What's Going On in There?": How Users Are Using Resources for Collaboration in Reservable Group Study Rooms in the University Libraries at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Creators: name: Edwards, Margaret
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: In an era where students rely on the academic library much more often for study space and services than for locating books, libraries have had to increase focus on what students need to successfully study. With a rise in collaborative assignments, one thing students need is collaborative group study space, but it is often difficult for library staff to discern what exactly students need from these necessarily private areas. This study sent surveys to group study room users at The University Libraries at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and observed group study room sessions to learn how students use the resources in these spaces. Findings indicate that convenience is an important factor for resource use, remote collaboration and interviews occur in the spaces, and Google Documents are important parts of the student collaboration process. Use based on factors such as department affiliation is also discussed.

description: Compartmental models are often used to represent a cell's passive electrical properties, which provide a useful insight into the different cell conduction mechanisms. In the simplest case, a single-compartment model (Fig. 1) can be used to represent the electrical characteristics of small cells (longest dimension <100 μm). A single-compartment model cannot describe some cells. In neurons, such as the cerebellar Purkinje cells, the capacitive current response to a hyperpolarizing voltage pulse is a sum of two exponentials. These cells can be modeled satisfactorily with a two-compartment equivalent circuit. In this work, we present an exact, analytical method for the parameter-estimation of a two-compartment model. All the passive electrical parameters of the two-compartment model are derived based on the DC measurements (where the command potential is a DC hyperpolarizing voltage) and on AC measurements (where the command potential is a sinusoidal stimulus resting upon a DC hyperpolarizing voltage).

Creators: name: Ramsier, Leah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that contribute to and detract from the usability and experience of Tilt Brush. It compares usability issues between users with formal training in art, and users with no formal training. Twenty participants were observed creating artwork in Tilt Brush and interviewed about their experience. They also answered a questionnaire based on the System Usability Scale.The data collected identified that conventions from 2D apps and a sense of presence in the 3D virtual environment positively impacted usability. A lack of control, issues navigating virtual reality, and a lack of familiarity with Tilt Brush negatively impacted usability. The group with formal training overall wanted more tools that increased control over the artwork than the group without formal training. Finally, the user experience of Tilt Brush was positively impacted by immersion, novelty, tools, possibilities, and potential as a creative outlet.

description: The aims of our research are to evaluate the prediction performance of the proposed neuro-fuzzy model with System Evaluation and Estimation of Resource Software Estimation Model (SEER-SEM) in software estimation practices and to apply the proposed architecture that combines the neuro-fuzzy technique with different algorithmic models. In this paper, an approach combining the neuro-fuzzy technique and the SEER-SEM effort estimation algorithm is described. This proposed model possesses positive characteristics such as learning ability, decreased sensitivity, effective generalization, and knowledge integration for introducing the neuro-fuzzy technique. Moreover, continuous rating values and linguistic values can be inputs of the proposed model for avoiding the large estimation deviation among similar projects. The performance of the proposed model is accessed by designing and conducting evaluation with published projects and industrial data. The evaluation results indicate that estimation with our proposed neuro-fuzzy model containing SEER-SEM is improved in comparison with the estimation results that only use SEER-SEM algorithm. At the same time, the results of this research also demonstrate that the general neuro-fuzzy framework can function with various algorithmic models for improving the performance of software effort estimation.
How Medical Students Perceive Learning Anatomy with a Virtual Reality Program: Virtual Medicine, Compared to Traditional Learning Methods

Year: 2019

description: As a fundamental subject, anatomy has been an essential and must course for students in health science fields. VR emerges as a powerful technique for experiencing a virtual world. Nowadays, there are attempts trying to combine virtual reality with anatomy education, to have a thorough understanding of anatomy and to take advantage of this technology, this research was conducted to examine the perceptions of medical students about learning anatomy with Virtual Reality (VR), which could provide students with an immersive environment, compared to the methods they have previously used.By inviting participants to come to the VR room and use the program themselves, this study used a mix-methods design, with a focus on the qualitative side in order to learn more about subjects’ thoughts and thus provide an angle for the potential improvement of VR technology applied to education in the future. Three sets of data were collected from the beginning to the end of each 35-minute test sessions, including observed behaviours,test score and individual test. Results of the study show the general opinions of students and imply that VR technology applied to anatomy could be very promising and positive.

description: Aim: Shifting from a communist regime to a democratic system has affected health system fundamentally in most of the Western Balkan countries including Albania. Albania became a European Union (EU) candidate country in 2014. Since then, one of the main concerns has been to approximate the legislation with the EU framework. The aim of this paper is to review the evolvement of pharmaceutical legislation in Albania and challenges toward achieving full approximation to the EU’s respective legislation. Methods: We used qualitative techniques, especially means of conventional content analysis and two sources to collection data. First, we consulted the Albania’s National Publications Office webpage and analysed all available legislation regarding “pharmacy”, “medicine” and “pharmaceutical products” from 1994 to 2021. Then, we analysed the National Integration Plans that have been published by the Government of Albania from 2014 to 2021. Results: The decrease of the price margin system goes in parallel with the increase of the pharmaceutical expenditure, including out-of-pocket expenditure on medicines and lack of adequate and sensitive reimbursement policies. The main pillars of the pharmaceutical sector in Albania are well-covered legally but not fully in concordance with the EU framework. Conclusion: There is a need to foster laws implementation that regulate the opening of pharmacies; a detailed regulation on pharmacovigilance; and a regulation on medicinal products for paediatric use. Also, the existing legal framework should be aligned with the European one. Medicine pricing methods should go in the same line with the decrease of out-of-pocket expenditure.

Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD)

description: In the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, one promising set of probes are rare decays, due to the possibility of large contributions from new physics relative to their SM prediction. Two examples of such processes are the long distance dominated avour-changing neutral current decays K⁺ → π⁺l⁺l⁻ and Σ⁺ → pl⁺l⁻, referred to as the rare kaon and rare hyperon decays respectively. These processes contain the transition of a strange quark into a down quark which can only occur at loop level within the SM, however tree level contributions could exist from physics beyond the SM. Currently, the only known method for making ab initio calculations of low energy hadronic quantities such as these, is through the use of Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (LQCD) where correlation functions are computed numerically via Monte Carlo methods on a discrete, nite and Euclidean space-time lattice. Work from this PhD has contributed to a calculation of the rare kaon decay at physical pion mass. We then investigate an alternative method utilising directly integrated correlation functions in an attempt to reduce the large computational cost of this and similar calculations. In addition, we present work extending the existing theoretical framework for computing the rare kaon decay using LQCD to the rare hyperon decay, including the handling of exponentially growing intermediate states and the correction of power-like fi nite volume effects. We also present the current status of the fi rst exploratory calculation of the form factors of this decay with unphysically heavy pions and 2+1 flavours of domain wall fermions. In order to perform this work, multiple developments have been made to the Grid and Hadrons C++ libraries, which are open-source tools for performing large scale lattice fi eld theory calculations on both CPU and GPU based machines.

description: In 1937, the Swedish palynologist Gunnar Erdtman (1897–1973) mounted two adapted vacuum cleaners atop an ocean-going liner and set out to obtain air samples as he crossed the Atlantic Ocean. The devices were able to capture samples of airborne pollen which were related to air volume and distance from land. The results of this investigation are still cited in the scientific literature, but a study of publications demonstrates that the ocean study had land-based antecedents. Furthermore, archival investigation reveals the background to such studies, including the technical plans for Erdtman’s ‘aerosol collector’, records of raw data from the voyage, draft portions of the key publication, photographs and the precise location of the land-based equipment. A storage loft in the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm has been found to house a surviving aerosol collector.

description: The aim of this survey was to assess the intentions of corresponding authors for publishing again in the South Eastern European Journal of Public Health (SEEJPH), the aspects that they like most about the jour- nal, and things which can be improved by SEEJPH in order to be more attractive to potential contributors. A three-item questionnaire was sent out by email to all corresponding authors (N=89) who published in the 16 volumes of the SEEJPH journal between 2014 and 2021. Among 84 eligible corresponding authors, we collected 26 answers, or 31%. There were generally favourable and constructive comments, which is encouraging. The wide array of coun- tries of the corresponding authors represents the successful global orientation of SEEJPH. Also, more than half of all related articles are classified as original papers, and the average of four authors per represented paper is satisfying. Furthermore, all corresponding authors would publish again in SEEJPH (“definitely”, or “probably”), and their numbers are almost equally distributed throughout 2014-2021. Acknowledgments: We express our gratitude to our Publisher Dr. Hans Jacobs, Sebastian Wolf, and all our supporters in the University of Bielefeld/Germany, our Boards of Editors, and our authors, friends, and colleagues.

Parallel to this, a qualitative document analysis of the ongoing discussion about the measures taken or to be taken in the Covid-19 Pandemic to fight the current economic recession was conducted using institutional websites and international media. Results: The main methods taken to combat the Financial Crisis from 2008 were, bailing out banks, austerity measures, and the European Stability Mechanism. There is evidence that the Financial crisis had negative effects on the European Health Systems in general. Austerity measures in some countries, led to an increase in psychological disorders. Overall mortality was not affected but the decrease of avoidable mortality slowed down. Various economic interventions such as bailing out essential industries e.g., the Aviation sector, cash injections, tax relief, short-work salary compensation, modified ESM, and the Pandemic Emergency Purchase Program (PEPP) were taken during the Covid-19 Pandemic to help stabilize the economy. Conclusion: The current recession is not caused by internal failures of the financial system as it was in the financial Crisis of 2008, but by an outside event - the Covid-19 pandemic. Measures were taken by the governments and the European Union to avoid an economic crisis, and by these, the negative health effects were created during the Financial Crisis in 2008, but the lockdown phase seems to lead to similar negative health effects regarding psychological disorders and delay of planned screening and treatment. Conflict of interest: None declared.

description: Journal impact factors (JIFs) are widely used and promoted but have important limitations. In particular, JIFs can be unduly influenced by individual highly cited articles and hence are inherently unstable. A logical way to reduce the impact of individual high citation counts is to use the geometric mean rather than the standard mean in JIF calculations. Based upon journal rankings 2004-2014 in 50 sub-categories within 5 broad categories, this study shows that journal rankings based on JIF variants tend to be more stable over time if the geometric mean is used rather than the standard mean. The same is true for JIF variants using Mendeley reader counts instead of citation counts. Thus, although the difference is not large, the geometric mean is recommended instead of the arithmetic mean for future JIF calculations. In addition, Mendeley readership-based JIF variants are as stable as those using Scopus citations, confirming the value of Mendeley readership as an academic impact indicator.

description: Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the distribution of hepatitis C in selected risk groups such as haemodialysis patients, pregnant women, healthcare workers, HIV-HCV co-infected patients, patients with mental health diseases and piercing and tattoo procedures. Furthermore, it aimed at evidencing common transmitting routes and highlighting the importance of preventive measures among these groups. Methods: The literature review was conducted using online databases (Medline) with search query involving the keyword “hepatitis C” in conjunction with keywords describing risk groups such as "dialysis", or "haemodialysis", or "pregnancy", or "pregnant", or "mental health", or "tattoo", or "piercing", or "HIV", or "health professionals”. Results: After assessing all the retrieved publications, 39 of them were considered for inclusion: 17 on haemodialysis patients, 7 on pregnant women, 8 on HIV-HCV co-infection and 7 publications on health professionals, patients of mental health wards and piercing and tattoo procedures. The high rate of hepatitis C is still a high problem and in some cases it is considered as a new issue, as in the case of pregnancy. Some of the transmission routes have been identified earlier, such as the HIV-HCV co-infection but some, such as piercing and tattoo, are becoming new transmission routes. Health professionals are still identified as high risk group while mental health patients are a potentially high risk group. Conclusion: Even though some patients are routinely screened for hepatitis C, there are indications for performing such a routine test in other groups. In almost all of the risk groups, it is advocated to use stricter preventive measures and to disseminate knowledge on risks of hepatitis C. Conflict of interest: None declared.

Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture in tame AECs with primes

description: A new case of Shelah's eventual categoricity conjecture is established: $\mathbf{Theorem}$ Let $K$ be an AEC with amalgamation. Write $H_2 := \beth_{\left(2^{\beth_{\left(2^{\text{LS} (K)}\right)^+}}\right)^+}$. Assume that $K$ is $H_2$-tame and $K_{\ge H_2}$ has primes over sets of the form $M \cup \{a\}$. If $K$ is categorical in some $λ> H_2$, then $K$ is categorical in all $λ' \ge H_2$. The result had previously been established when the stronger locality assumptions of full tameness and shortness are also required. An application of the method of proof of the theorem is that Shelah's categoricity conjecture holds in the context of homogeneous model theory (this was known, but our proof gives new cases): $\mathbf{Theorem}$ Let $D$ be a homogeneous diagram in a first-order theory $T$. If $D$ is categorical in a $λ> |T|$, then $D$ is categorical in all $λ' \ge \min (λ, \beth_{(2^{|T|})^+})$.

description: Africa is the second largest continent and has its socioeconomic and health peculiarities. Countries are faced with varying challenges towards its Universal Health Coverage (UHC) achievement and hence the region requires health system reforms to drive equitable and balanced medical services to its populace. The main objectives of the paper were to explore the complexities of the African health systems, subsequently highlighting major challenges to UHC and to provide a framework for strategic approaches to health system strengthening to ensure realization of UHC. Information presented in this paper was collected from published literature and reports on Rwanda, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ghana, Tunisia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Egypt and South Africa, amidst other African countries. The published literature points to the presence of a somewhat slow progress towards UHC or at least an existent knowledge of it. However, common challenges faced can be grouped into 1) Financial constraints which include low levels of government expenditure on health and increased out-of-pocket percentages, (2) Lack of coverage of key services which includes majorly immunization rates and existence of health insurance for citizens, (3) Input constraints ranging from drug availability to skilled healthcare workforce, information and research and (4) Lack of political support and commitment towards universal health coverage. To overcome the above-stated constraints, two broad groups of interventions were identified; General interventions largely focusing on reprioritization of health budget, quality and improved services, equipped facilities and efficient social protection systems; and Specific interventions which emphasizes the importance of eliminating shortage of health workers, ensuring availability of essential medicines/ products, embracing decentralization at supply chain management, validating data/ information system and advocacy for impactful health education/promotion. Although there will be strength and weakness for whatever reforms adopted, implementation is totally contextual and contingent upon countries' specific health system bottlenecks.

description: This work records and discusses the results of an anonymous web-based survey administered in January and February of 2019 to academic librarians with subject doctorates (i.e. PhDs in disciplines outside of library and information science) employed in North America. Respondents answered a mixture of quantitative and qualitative questions about the fields of their PhDs, their MLSs or equivalent degrees, their current positions in academic libraries, and the relevancy of their doctoral training to their current positions. According to the principal finding of this study, a majority of those librarians surveyed apply their doctoral training directly to their current positions in academic libraries, albeit at lower rates than those observed in the preceding decade. Statistically significant correlations were found between the relevancy of respondents’ doctoral training to their current positions, the accreditation status of their MLS or equivalent, and the year they began their current positions.
