description: Unhealthy eating behaviors, such as consumption of unhealthy diet and emotional eating, are common in adolescence and tend to co-occur. However, how these behaviors are patterned may vary among adolescents. This study identified patterns of dietary consumption and emotional eating behaviors in adolescents and examined the sociodemographic and psychosocial (e.g., self-efficacy beliefs and motivation) covariates associated with these eating patterns. Data were from the Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health and Eating study. Latent class analysis was used to estimate adolescent dietary patterns from dietary consumption (i.e., fruits, vegetables, sugar-sweetened beverages, junk food, etc.) and emotional eating variables (i.e., eating when feeling sad or anxious). The sample included 1,568 adolescents (Mean age = 14.48-years-old, 49% girls, 55% White). A four-class solution best fit the data (e.g., Bayesian Information Criteria [BIC] = 12263.568, three-class model BIC = 12271.622). Four unhealthy eating behavior patterns were identified: poor diet/high emotional eating, mixed diet/high emotional eating, poor diet/low emotional eating, and mixed diet/low emotional eating. Compared to the poor diet/high emotional eating group, the other groups were less likely to include older adolescents, girls, and adolescents who experienced food insecurity, and more likely to have higher self-efficacy for eating fruits and vegetables and limiting junk foods as well as motivation for consuming fruits and vegetables and limiting junk foods. Our findings highlight adolescents’ complex dietary patterns that include dietary consumption and emotional eating behaviors. Future studies should examine other potential dietary patterns that include emotional eating. Efforts to address unhealthy patterns of adolescents’ dietary consumption and emotional eating behaviors should be expanded.

description: This journal receives many papers on COVID-19 research on mental health difficulties every week and few make it through the editors to receive peer review. At one time this was 80 or 90 submissions a week and now it is a trickle of 30–40. We spend a lot of time wading through them each week and so have decided to provide some advice to researchers interested in this area. This might help submissions pass through our editorial and peer review filters and authors to produce helpful publications on how to deal with mental health of the public during a pandemic.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this work we study the duality between F-theory and the heterotic string beyond the stable degeneration limit in F-theory and large fiber limit in the heterotic theory. Building upon a recent proposal by Clingher-Doran and Malmendier-Morrison, which phrases the duality on the heterotic side for a particular class of models in terms of (fibered) genus two curves as non-geometric heterotic compactifications - we establish the precise limit to the semi-classical heterotic string in both eight and lower space-time dimensions. In particular for six dimensional theories, we argue that this class of non-geometric heterotic compactifications capture alpha'-quantum corrections to the semi-classical heterotic supergravity compactifications on elliptically fibered K3 surfaces. From the non-geometric heterotic theory, the semi-classical phase on the K3 surface is recovered from a remarkable limit of genus two Siegel modular forms combined with a geometric surgery operation. Finally, in four dimensions we analyze another limit deep in the quantum regime of the non-geometric heterotic string, which we refer to as the heterotic Sen limit. In this limit we can explicitly argue that the semi-classical two-staged fibrational structure of the heterotic hypermultiplet moduli space - recently established by Alexandrov, Louis, Pioline and Valandro - gets corrected by quantum effects.

description: We conducted a cluster randomized trial of two models for integrating HPV self-collection into family-planning (FP) services at 16 health facilities in Malawi between March 2020–December 2021. Model 1 involved providing only clinic-based HPV self-collection, whereas Model 2 included both clinic-based and community-based HPV self-collection. An endline household survey was performed in sampled villages and households between October-December 2021 in the catchment areas of the health facilities. We analyzed 7664 surveys from 400 villages. Participants from Model 2 areas were more likely to have ever undergone cervical cancer screening (CCS) than participants from Model 1 areas, after adjusting for district, facility location (urban versus rural), and facility size (hospital versus health center) (adjusted odds ratio = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.29, 2.33). Among participants who had ever undergone CCS, participants from Model 2 were more likely to report having undergone HPV self-collection than participants from Model 1 (50.5% versus 22.8%, p = 0.023). Participants from Model 2 were more likely to be using modern FP (adjusted odds ratio = 1.01; 95% CI: 1.41, 1.98) than Model 1 participants. The integration of FP and HPV self-collection in both the clinic and community increases CCS and modern FP uptake more than integration at the clinic-level alone.
The missing link: a nonlinear post-Friedmann framework for small and large scales

description: We present a nonlinear post-Friedmann framework for structure formation, generalizing to cosmology the weak-field (post-Minkowskian) approximation, unifying the treatment of small and large scales. We consider a universe filled with a pressureless fluid and a cosmological constant $Λ$, the theory of gravity is Einstein's general relativity and the background is the standard flat $Λ$CDM cosmological model. We expand the metric and the energy-momentum tensor in powers of $1/c$, keeping the matter density and peculiar velocity as exact fundamental variables. We assume the Poisson gauge, including scalar and tensor modes up to $1/c^4$ order and vector modes up to $1/c^5$ terms. Through a redefinition of the scalar potentials as a resummation of the metric contributions at different orders, we obtain a complete set of nonlinear equations, providing a unified framework to study structure formation from small to superhorizon scales, from the nonlinear Newtonian to the linear relativistic regime. We explicitly show the validity of our scheme in the two limits: at leading order we recover the fully nonlinear equations of Newtonian cosmology; when linearized, our equations become those for scalar and vector modes of first-order relativistic perturbation theory in the Poisson gauge. Tensor modes are nondynamical at the $1/c^4$ order we consider: they are purely nonlinear and describe a distortion of the spatial slices determined at this order by a constraint, quadratic in the scalar and vector variables. The main results of our analysis are as follows: (a) at leading order a purely Newtonian nonlinear energy current sources a frame-dragging gravitomagnetic vector potential, and (b) in the leading-order Newtonian regime and in the linear relativistic regime the two scalar metric potentials are the same, while the nonlinearity of general relativity makes them different.

description: The thermally induced coherent collapse of Bose-Einstein condensates at finite temperature is the dominant decay mechanism near the critical scattering length in condensates with at least partially attractive interaction. The collapse dynamics out of the ground state is mediated by a transition state whose properties determine the corresponding decay rate or lifetime of the condensate. In this paper, we perform normal form expansions of the ground and the transition state of condensates with short-range scattering interaction as well as with anisotropic and long-range dipolar interaction in a variational framework. This method allows one to determine the local properties of these states, i.e. their mean-field energy, their normal modes, the coupling between different modes, and the structure of the reaction channel to any desired order. We discuss the physical interpretation of the transition state as a certain density distribution of the atomic cloud and the behavior of the single normal form contributions in dependence on the s-wave scattering length. Moreover, we investigate the convergence of the local normal form when using extended Gaussian variational approaches, and present the condensate's decay rate.

description: Water reuse is a practical solution to augment water supplies in areas where water resources are increasingly scarce. Water reuse technology is versatile and can be used to alleviate the different causes of water scarcity, such as groundwater depletion or increased availability of brackish water. Treatment technologies can be tailored specifically to the end use of recycled water, focusing on these drivers that are region-specific, for a more cost-effective treatment system. This is called a “Fit-for-Purpose” strategy that is commonly implemented in any water reuse project. However, implementing water reuse can be challenging due to infrastructural requirements, economic issues, and social acceptance. To help navigate these challenges, this article provides a comprehensive review of water reuse cases and presents guidelines that can act as a reference framework for future water reuse projects. This article also makes the case for implementing water reuse in the Greater Chicago area as a means of alleviating pressure on withdrawals from Lake Michigan.

description: Fetal head segmentation is a crucial step in measuring the fetal head circumference (HC) during gestation, an important biometric in obstetrics for monitoring fetal growth. However, manual biometry generation is time-consuming and results in inconsistent accuracy. To address this issue, convolutional neural network (CNN) models have been utilized to improve the efficiency of medical biometry. But training a CNN network from scratch is a challenging task, we proposed a Transfer Learning (TL) method. Our approach involves fine-tuning (FT) a U-Net network with a lightweight MobileNet as the encoder to perform segmentation on a set of fetal head ultrasound (US) images with limited effort. This method addresses the challenges associated with training a CNN network from scratch. It suggests that our proposed FT strategy yields segmentation performance that is comparable when trained with a reduced number of parameters by 85.8\%. And our proposed FT strategy outperforms other strategies with smaller trainable parameter sizes below 4.4 million. Thus, we contend that it can serve as a dependable FT approach for reducing the size of models in medical image analysis. Our key findings highlight the importance of the balance between model performance and size in developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications by TL methods. Code is available at here.

description: Alzheimer's disease is one of the leading causes of dementia worldwide, and its increasing prevalence brings serious diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in an ageing population. Current diagnostic methods, which include patient histories, neuropsychological tests and MRI images, often fail to achieve sufficient sensitivity and specificity. In response to these challenges, this research presents an advanced convolutional neural network (CNN) model, combining ResNet50 and Inception v3 architectures, to accurately classify the stages of Alzheimer's disease based on MRI images. The model was developed and tested on data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). It classifies MRI images into four clinical categories of disease severity. The model's evaluation results, based on metrics such as precision, sensitivity and the F1 measure, confirm its effectiveness. Additional augmentation techniques and differential weights for the classes helped improve the model's accuracy. Visualization of the results using the t-SNE method and confusion matrix further illustrates the model's ability to differentiate disease categories, which can support neurological diagnosis in detecting and classifying Alzheimer's disease.
Dirac fermions and Kondo effect

description: In this study, we investigate the Kondo effect induced by the s-d interaction where the conduction bands are occupied by Dirac fermions. The Dirac fermion has the linear dispersion and is described typically by the Hamiltonian such as $H_k= v{\bf k}\cdot σ+m σ_0$ for the wave number ${\bf k}$ where $σ_j$ are Pauli matrices and $σ_0$ is the unit matrix. We derived the formula of the Kondo temperature $T_K$ by means of the Green's function theory for Green's functions including Dirac fermions and the localized spin. The $T_K$ was determined from a singularity of Green's functions in the form $T_K\propto \exp(-{\rm const}/ρ|J|)$ when $ρ|J|$ is small. The Kondo effect will disappear when the Fermi surface is point like because $T_K$ vanishes as the chemical potential $μ$ approaches the Dirac point.

description: We consider the effects of a Mexican-hat-shaped nonlocal spatial coupling, i.e., symmetric long-range inhibition superimposed with short-range excitation, upon front propagation in a model of a bistable reaction-diffusion system. We show that the velocity of front propagation can be controlled up to a certain coupling strength beyond which spatially periodic patterns, such as Turing patterns or coexistence of spatially homogeneous solutions and Turing patterns, may be induced. This behaviour is investigated through a linear stability analysis of the spatially homogeneous steady states and numerical investigations of the full nonlinear equations in dependence upon the nonlocal coupling strength and the ratio of the excitatory and inhibitory coupling ranges.

description: Reconstruction of the dynamics (quantum process tomography) of the single-exciton manifold in energy transfer systems is proposed here on the basis of two-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (2D-FS) with phase-modulation. The quantum-process-tomography protocol introduced here benefits from, e.g., the sensitivity enhancement ascribed to 2D-FS. Although the isotropically averaged spectroscopic signals depend on the quantum yield parameter $Γ$ of the doubly-excited-exciton manifold, it is shown that the reconstruction of the dynamics is insensitive to this parameter. Applications to foundational and applied problems, as well as further extensions, are discussed.

description: TDP-43 proteinopathies including frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by aggregation and mislocalization of the nucleic-acid binding protein TDP-43 and subsequent neuronal dysfunction. Here, we developed an endogenous model of sporadic TDP-43 proteinopathy based on the principle that disease-associated TDP-43 acetylation at lysine 145 (K145) alters TDP-43 conformation, impairs RNA-binding capacity, and induces downstream mis-regulation of target genes. Expression of acetylation-mimic TDP-43K145Q resulted in stress-induced nuclear TDP-43 foci and loss-of-TDP-43-function in primary mouse and human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cortical neurons. Mice harboring the TDP-43K145Q mutation recapitulated key hallmarks of FTLD, including progressive TDP-43 phosphorylation and insolubility, TDP-43 mis-localization, transcriptomic and splicing alterations, and cognitive dysfunction. Our study supports a model in which TDP-43 acetylation drives neuronal dysfunction and cognitive decline through aberrant splicing and transcription of critical genes that regulate synaptic plasticity and stress response signaling. The neurodegenerative cascade initiated by TDP-43 acetylation recapitulates many aspects of FTLD and provides a new paradigm to further interrogate TDP-43 proteinopathies.

description: We use quantum Monte Carlo simulations to study a finite-temperature dimensional-crossover-driven evolution of spin and charge dynamics in weakly coupled Hubbard chains with a half-filled band. The low-temperature behavior of the charge gap indicates a crossover between two distinct energy scales: a high-energy one-dimensional (1D) Mott gap due to the umklapp process and a low-energy gap which stems from long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) fluctuations. Away from the 1D regime and at temperature scales above the charge gap, the emergence of a zero-frequency Drude-like feature in the interchain optical conductivity $σ_{\perp}(ω)$ implies the onset of a higher-dimensional metal. In this metallic phase, enhanced quasiparticle scattering off finite-range AF fluctuations results in incoherent single-particle dynamics. The coupling between spin and charge fluctuations is also seen in the spin dynamical structure factor $S({\pmb q},ω)$ displaying damped spin excitations (paramagnons) close to the AF wave-vector ${\pmb q}=(π,π)$ and particle-hole continua near 1D momentum transfers spanning quasiparticles at the Fermi surface. We relate our results to the charge deconfinement in quasi-1D organic Bechgaard-Fabre salts.

description: In this note, we consider the Landau gauge in the continuum formulation. Our purposes are twofold. Firstly, we try to work out the consequences of the recently derived Cucchieri-Mendes bounds on the inverse Faddeev-Popov operator at the level of the path integral quantization. Secondly, we give an explicit renormalizable prescription to implement the so-called Landau B-gauges as introduced by Maas.

description: Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy is an important tool in the treatment of glioma brain tumors. However, variable patient response and chemo-resistance remain exceptionally challenging. Our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified a suggestively significant association of SNP rs4470517 in the RYK (receptor-like kinase) gene with TMZ drug response. Functional validation of RYK using lymphocytes and glioma cell lines resulted in gene expression analysis indicating differences in expression status between genotypes of the cell lines and TMZ dose response. We conducted univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses using publicly available TCGA and GEO datasets to investigate the impact of RYK gene expression status on glioma patient overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Our results indicated that in IDH mutant gliomas, RYK expression and tumor grade were significant predictors of survival. In IDH wildtype glioblastomas (GBM), MGMT status was the only significant predictor. Despite this result, we revealed a potential benefit of RYK expression in IDH wildtype GBM patients. We found that a combination of RYK expression and MGMT status could serve as an additional biomarker for improved survival. Overall, our findings suggest that RYK expression may serve as an important prognostic or predictor of TMZ response and survival for glioma patients.

description: We focus on the class of cosmological models with a time-evolving vacuum energy density of the form $ρ_Λ=C_0+C_1 H+C_2 H^2$, where $H$ is the Hubble rate. Higher powers of $H$ could be important for the early inflationary epoch, but are irrelevant afterwards. We study these models at the background level and at the perturbations level, both at the linear and at the nonlinear regime. We find that those with $C_0=0$ are seriously hampered, as they are unable to fit simultaneously the current observational data on Hubble expansion and the linear growth rate of clustering. This is in contrast to the $C_0\neq 0$ models, including the concordance $Λ$CDM model. We also compute the redshift distribution of clusters predicted by all these models, in which the analysis of the nonlinear perturbations becomes crucial. The outcome is that the models with $C_0=0$ predict a number of counts with respect to the concordance model which is much larger, or much smaller, than the $Λ$CDM and the dynamical models with $C_0\neq 0$. The particular case $ρ_Λ\propto H$ (the pure lineal model), which in the past was repeatedly motivated by several authors from QCD arguments applied to cosmology, is also addressed and we assess in detail its phenomenological status. We conclude that the most favored models are those with $C_0\neq 0$, and we show how to discriminate them from the $Λ$CDM.
