Should councils collaborate? Evaluating shared administration and tax services in English local government

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Decentralized public organizations have many advantages, but can be inefficient due to suboptimal organizational size and duplication of activities. Selective inter-organizational collaboration may produce economies of scale without undoing the benefits of decentralization, assuming that co-ordination and re-organization costs are low. The authors tested this popular reform logic using data from all English councils, focusing on shared administration and tax collection. There were no significant benefits from either kind of collaboration.
518: INATTENTION TEST AS A PREDICTIVE MARKER FOR VASOSPASM IN ANEURYSMAL SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE PATIENTS

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Cerebral vasospasm is a common complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Although vasospasm can be detected sonographically and radiographically, there are no established clinical methods for detecting vasospasm on neurologic exam. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of an inattention test, counting from 20 to 1, for detecting vasospasm. Methods: This retrospective, single-center, cohort study included patients admitted to the ICU for SAH from September 2018 to August 2019. Charts were reviewed to collect data on patient demographics, hospital course, imaging studies, neurologic exam, and functional ability at discharge. Those with non-aneurysmal SAH, inability to count, missing 20 to 1 data, or missing imaging studies to assess for vasospasm were excluded. Accuracy tests were performed and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using SPSS. Alternative diagnoses that account for inattention were also quantified. Results: Among our cohort of 45 patients with aSAH who were able to participate in 20 to 1 testing, 25 had inattention. Inattention was attributed to vasospasm in 20 (80%) patients, hydrocephalus in 2 (8%) patients, sedation in 1 (4%) patient, and had no discernible cause in 2 patients. Infection, fever, and seizure were not the sole correlates of inattention in any of these patients. Among a more limited cohort of patients who underwent radiographic testing for vasospasm (n=36), we found that the inattention test had a sensitivity of 77% (CI 62-93%) and a specificity of 77% (CI 51-100%). The positive predictive value of the inattention test was 91% (CI 80-100%). For patients with inattention and vessel imaging, 18 (85.7%, p-value = 0.1) had anterior cerebral artery (ACA) compared to exclusively middle cerebral artery vasospasm. Conclusions: Patients with aSAH who developed inattention during their hospital course were found to have vasospasm in the majority of cases. The attention test had a high positive predictive value for the presence of radiographic vasospasm, particularly in the ACA territory which supplies the attention centers of the brain. Although larger studies are needed to further define the accuracy of attention testing as a screening tool for vasospasm, this tool has no risk and requires no training for bedside implementation.
Interaction of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy with simulated body fluid; a preliminary biocompatibility investigation

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The current study aims to investigate the interaction of Ti-6Al-7Nb with simulated body fluid (SBF) in order to apply a preliminary biocompatibility investigation of this novel biomedical alloy, promising for orthopedic applications. Results of the static immersion tests conducted in SBF at body temperature demonstrated that Ca-P rich structures form on the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy surfaces and the oxide layer formation-dissolution cycle reaches a stable state during immersion. Ion release levels were mostly below critical values except for the initial Al ion release level, which indicated the need for the presence of a stable protective layer on the alloy surface. The second set of static immersion experiments conducted in densified SBF demonstrated that, such a protective layer can rapidly form by biomimetic coating if followed by a preliminary surface treatment. Overall, Ti-6Al-7Nb alloys layers exhibit promising biocompatibility for orthopedic applications, especially with the presence of a stable protective layer.
Eleven years' experience of postoperative morbidity and trends in handsewn ileo-anal anastomosis with pelvic J-pouch for ulcerative colitis.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A total of 170 adult patients underwent an elective operation for ulcerative colitis between March 1985 and December 1995. In 154 cases a restorative procedure was intended. In 142 (92%) cases this proved possible, and in 136 of these a handsewn J-pouch-anal anastomosis was created. The chance of failure in the restorative operation was higher in men (p = 0.0314). During the latter five years' period IAA operations were performed more often as a second-stage procedure. Uneventful recovery was reported in 62 (45.5%) cases. One or more complications were encountered in 74 (55.1%) patients. Corticosteroid treatment did not affect leakage frequency. In spite of the high morbidity there were no perioperative deaths.

Image rejection downconversion mixer for FM receiver

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Mixer is an essential part of wireless communication systems. Modern wireless communication systems demand stringent dyanmaric range requirement. The dynamic range of a receiver is often limited by the first downconversion mixer. Much work has also gone into developing highly integrated receivers in CMOS that minimize the number of off-chip components. In this project, Image reject downconverter design involves the design and implementation of current driven passive mixer and complex filter. The designs are implemented with 1.8V power supply using CSM CMOS 0.18um process. Firstly, the design of existing receiver architecture and various types of mixer will be focused to study and the investigation of different topology is suitable to use in the project. Seondly, the circuit designing and selection of correct components parameters will be discussed. Simulation of circuit in terms of noise analysis, stability analysis, AC analysis and more is carried out and. Lastly, analysis of simulation result and corrective action is taken to make the circuit workable and stable. Last but not least, the report reveals possible future works that can be carried out to achieve better design and performance for image reject downconverter.

A Method for Estimating Task Granularity for Automating GPU Cycle Sharing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we propose a method for estimating task granularity to reduce guest's effort in graphics processing unit (GPU) cycle sharing systems. A cycle sharing system should maximize both the frame rate for resource donators (i.e., hosts) and the acceleration effect for scientific job submitters (i.e., guests). This can be realized by selecting the appropriate granularity for guest tasks. However, a previous cooperative multitasking method requires manual interactions to find the appropriate task granularity. To avoid such interactions, the proposed method automatically estimates the appropriate granularity by measuring the length of idle periods on the host. We show how this measurement can be realized on donated resources, where the host program cannot be instrumented due to the lack of code availability. In experiments, the proposed method automatically estimated the appropriate task granularity, which not only maintained the frame rate for an image filter (i.e., host task) but also maximized the performance of matrix multiplication (i.e., guest task).
Organized Crime Control in Australia and New Zealand

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

By global standards, the problems with organized crime experienced by Australia and New Zealand are moderate. Yet, in both countries, organized crime is perceived as a growing threat requiring a vigorous and coordinated response. This perception has been driven mainly by public incidents of gang violence. This essay sketches the extent of the problem in each country, including the significant criminal networks involved, and explores the institutional, strategic, and legislative responses to organized crime, including crime prevention measures. Cooperative arrangements through which the two countries have addressed transnational crime, particularly within the Asia-Pacific, are discussed. The essay concludes by considering some of the impacts of these official responses, including unintended ones, and suggests possible future directions for research and further action.
Stereodivergent Dual Catalytic α‐Allylation of Protected α‐Amino‐ and α‐Hydroxyacetaldehydes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Fully stereodivergent dual‐catalytic α‐allylation of protected α‐amino‐ and α‐hydroxyacetaldehydes is achieved through iridium‐ and amine‐catalyzed substitution of racemic allylic alcohols with chiral enamines generated in situ. The operationally simple method furnishes useful aldehyde building blocks in good yields, more than 99 % ee , and with d.r. values greater than 20:1 in some cases. Additionally, the γ,δ‐unsaturated products can be further functionalized in a stereodivergent fashion with high selectivity and with preservation of stereochemical integrity at the C α position.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Shaan-GMS was a newly discovered dominant male sterility accession in Brassica Napus L.77 Brassica napus accessions from China and abroad were tested for their maintaining or restoring ability for Shaan-GMS,one accession named 96-803 from Sweden was screened out which could restore the male sterility of Shaan-GMS.The genetic pattern of fertility restoration of male sterility of Shaan-GMS was investigated by the genetic experiments designed by Liu.The results showed that male fertility of Shaan-GMS was controlled by two pair of nuclear genes.If male sterile gene was designated as Ms,its allele recessive gene as ms,dominant inhibition gene as Rf,which can inhibit the expression of the Ms,resulting in the restoration of F_1,its allele recessive gene as rf,the phenotype of Msrfrf was male sterile,and that of other seven genotypes was male fertile.So the genotype of Shaan-GMS,96-803 and 84004 was Msmsrfrf,msmRfRf and msmsrfrf respectively.The cross test results also showed that Shaan-GMS has similar maintaining and restoring relationship with 6CA.
The Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from COVID-19-Diagnosed People to Their Pet Dogs and Cats in a Multi-Year Surveillance Project

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Recent emerging zoonotic disease outbreaks, such as that of SARS-CoV-2, have demonstrated the need for wider companion animal disease surveillance. We tested 1000 dogs and cats belonging to employees of a US veterinary hospital network that were exposed to human COVID-19 cases in the household between 1 January 2020 and 10 March 2022 for SARS-CoV-2 and surveyed their owners about clinical signs and risk factors. The seropositivity was 33% for 747 dogs and 27% for 253 cats. Pet seropositivity correlated with the US human case rates over time, exhibiting peaks corresponding with the major COVID-19 surges. Antibodies persisted longer than previously documented (828 days in dogs; 650 days in cats). Increasing age and duration of proximity to infected people were associated with increased seropositivity in dogs but not cats. Cats were more likely to have clinical signs, but an association between seropositivity and the presence of clinical signs was not found in either species.

Tell Us Another: Variations in the Arabian Nights Frame Story

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The tale of Scheherezade and the sultan, the frame story of the Arabian Nights, surrounds the entire group of stories. Though written evidence of Scheherezade’s story dates back to the 9th century, translators in Europe brought the Arabian Nights to Western audiences starting in the 1700s, with a surge of popularity in the late 1800s. These translators and editors made a habit of inserting, removing, and altering the tales, so that there is no true canonical version of the Nights – nor is there only one version of the frame story. This thesis explores a few major instances of variation: the addition of siblings for Scheherezade and/or the sultan, an encounter with a jinni (genie) and his wife, the presence or absence of interruptions between the collected tales, and the conclusion of the frame story. Due to this range of source material, I was able to draw from a number of different translations and scholarly criticism of those translations, as well as general background work on the Nights.

Combined cumulants and Laplace transform method for probabilistic load flow analysis

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

The simultaneity of power systems development and uncertainty of system elements has promoted the importance of probabilistic load flow (PLF) in the operating and planning studies of the system. This clarifies that the use of the fast and accurate approaches for PLF computation is necessary. To achieve this objective, this study presents an analytical technique, based on the properties of Laplace transform (LT). The suggested methodology is applicable for every continuous probability distribution function as the input random variable. The proposed procedure is applied to the MATPOWER 9‐ and 118‐bus test systems. To validate the combined cumulants and LT (CCLT) technique, the results are compared with the Monte Carlo simulation and the cumulants method combined with the maximum entropy (CCME) principle. The test results show that the proposed approach gives accurate results, with the lower computational burden comparing CCME. Furthermore, the method formulation and case study results demonstrate that the CCLT method is mathematically straightforward and computationally efficient.
Local Cults and their Integration into Bethlehem's Sacred Landscape in the Late Medieval and Modern Periods

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The paper is a post-print version of an article originally published in Mitri Raheb (ed.), "Bethlehem. A Sociocultural History", Bethlehem: Diyar Publishers, 2020, p. 25-40, though without the illustrations presented here. It analyses the dynamics by which the kinetic dimension of pilgrimage contributed to invest the landscape associated with the way leading from Jerusalem to Bethlehem with new meanings and a number of secondary spots deemed to be associated with various episodes of Biblical history. The latter include the terebynth of Mary, the cistern of the Magi, the house of Prophet Habakkuk, the field of the stone chickpeas ("Jrun el-hummus"), Rachel's tombs and the cisterns of David. Their complex history is investigated relying on evidence provided by Late Medieval and early Modern travelogues.

IMPACT OF SOCIAL-MEDIA USE ON BRAND EQUITY OF MAGAZINE BRANDS : A Qualitative Study of Vogue Turkey

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This dissertation examines the impact of social media use on the brand equity of magazine brands. Building on an integrative model, which brings together classical theories of brand management and the frontiers of research in social media, this study examines one of the first magazines to incorporate social media in its marketing strategy. In addition to four interviews conducted with social media strategists and field experts, this study has used observation data and an online self-completion questionnaire in the analysis of its case. As a result, this study concludes that social media use impacts brand equity of magazine brands in four major ways: (1) Social media opens a new direct communication channel between the magazine brand and its audience; (2) Social media increases magazine brand’s presence and therefore the influence in the daily lives of its audience; (3) Social media facilitates magazine audience’s involvement in promoting the brand indirectly with its numerous content sharing functionalities, and in a very natural manner; and finally (4) Social media helps the magazine brand form and manage concrete relationships with its audience.
Imaging of skull base pathologies: Role of advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Imaging plays a vital role in evaluation of skull base pathologies as this region is not directly accessible for clinical evaluation. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have played complementary roles in the diagnosis of the various neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions of the skull base. However, CT and conventional MRI may at times be insufficient to correctly pinpoint the accurate diagnosis. Advanced MRI techniques, though difficult to apply in the skull base region, in conjunction with CT and conventional MRI can however help in improving the diagnostic accuracy. This article aims to highlight the importance of advanced MRI techniques like diffusion-weighted imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, perfusion-weighted imaging, and MR spectroscopy in differentiation of various lesions involving the skull base.
Importance of proteomics approach on identifying defense protein in response to biotic stresses in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Biotic stress in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major stresses limiting crop productivity and the geographical distribution of many important crops worldwide. A clear perceptive of the molecular mechanisms involved in plants response to biotic stress is of fundamental importance to plant science. Knowledge about these mechanisms is also critical for continued development of rational breeding and transgenic strategies to improve resistant into stress in cereal crops. Proteomic approach has become a powerful tool to study plant responses to biotic stress and also proteomics approaches are being applied in rice for the past several years to identify better mechanism to the biotic stresses-responsive proteins. A large number of proteins responsive to biotic stresses, including pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses and herbivores have been studied. Identified proteins are belong to functional categories into defense mechanisms, metabolism, energy, and signaling. This review will briefly summarize and discuss about the proteomics based investigation of biotic stress-responsive proteins in rice and increasing importance of proteomics approach in defense mechanism and genetic engineering of rice crop plants.

MINING OF ASSOCIATION RULES FROM DISTRIBUTED DATA USING MOBILE AGENTS

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we propose an agent-based approach to mine association rules from data sets that are distributed across multiple locations while preserving the privacy of local data. This approach relies on the local systems to find frequent itemsets that are encrypted and the partial results are carried from site to site. In this way, the privacy of local data is preserved. We present a structural model that includes several types of mobile agents with specific functionalities and communication scheme to accomplish the task. These agents implement the privacy-preserving algorithms for distributed association rule mining.
