Water-use characteristics of Syzygium antisepticum and Adinandra integerrima in a secondary forest of Khao Yai National Park in Thailand with implications for environmental management

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Background Southeast Asia has experienced widespread deforestation and change in land use. Consequently, many reforestation projects have been initiated in this region. However, it is imperative to carefully choose the tree species for planting, especially in light of the increasing climate variability and the potential alteration of plantation on the watershed water balance. Thus, the information regarding water-use characteristics of various tree species and sizes is critical in the tree species selection for reforestation. Methods We estimated tree water use ( T ) of dominant species including Syzygium antisepticum and Adinandra integerrima, hereafter Sa and Ai , respectively, in a secondary tropical forest in Khao Yai National Park, Thailand, using sap flow data, and compared T between species and size classes. Additionally, we evaluated the responses of T of both species in each size class to environmental factors including soil moisture and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Results Results showed consistently higher T in Sa compared to Ai across ranges of VPD and soil moisture. Under low soil moisture, T of Sa responded to VPD, following a saturating exponential pattern while Ai maintained T across different VPD levels, irrespective of tree size. No responses of T to VPD were observed in either species when soil water was moderate. When soil moisture was high, T of both species significantly increased and saturated at high VPD, albeit the responses were less sensitive in large trees. Our results imply that Ai may be suitable for reforestation in water-limited areas where droughts frequently occur to minimize reforestation impact on water availability to downstream ecosystems. In contrast, Sa should be planted in regions with abundant and reliable water resources. However, a mixed species plantation should be generally considered to increase forest resilience to increasing climate variation.
Neutron scattering investigations ofα-uranium in the charge-density-wave state

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Below 43 K, $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-uranium (the orthorhombic phase stable below 600\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C) develops an incommensurate charge-density wave (CDW) that has a profound effect on almost all physical properties of this element. Previous work at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Institut Laue-Langevin has characterized the phonon dispersion curves and various properties of the periodic distortions of the atomic structure. In this paper we review some of these results and present new information giving further details of the CDW state, in particular the temperature and pressure dependence of both the elastic and inelastic (precursor phonon) scattering. Suggestions for new experiments, including those using other techniques, are presented.
Rethinking Medieval Romance Verb Second

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter offers a reappraisal of the place of Medieval Romance languages within the V2 typology based on novel corpus data. A review of the available primary and secondary evidence provides compelling evidence that the Medieval Romance languages considered (French, Occitan, Sicilian, Venetian, and Spanish) were V2 languages, with V-to-C movement and XP-merger in the left periphery. The second half of the chapter focuses in detail on Old Sicilian and Old French, arguing that although both show certain commonalities, the height of the V2 bottleneck is distinct with thirteenth-century French showing a stricter V2 syntax than Old Sicilian. This is linked to the former’s status as a high V2 language with a locus for V2 on Force, as opposed to Fin where the constraint is operative in Sicilian.
Return to the family and its consequence for rehospitalization among recently discharged mental patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Synopsis This study examined the contribution that living arrangements made to the rehospitalization rates of mental patients discharged to the community during the first 7 months they spent there. Over 20000 mental patients discharged from psychiatric facilities in the state of New York were categorized on the basis of the living arrangements to which they were discharged. These included living alone, parental, marital, other relatives or friends, and domiciliary settings. The sample was divided in half and results of the analysis of the first sample were replicated on the second sample. Analysis of covariance and multiple regression techniques revealed that patients discharged to marital settings were rehospitalized less than those discharged to other settings, and that there were no differences in the return rates among the remaining settings. The major predictor of rehospitalization was the number of previous hospitalizations. The implications of these findings for further research on supportive as well as stressful parameters of community and family settings are discussed.

In vivo measurement of neuronal dopamine transporter in cannabis dependant subjects, with positron tomography and [11C]-PE2I

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Restaurant industry employees have historically exhibited a high tendency toward substance use. To address this phenomenon, this study aimed to assess if a restaurant front-of-house server's work stress contributes to alcohol and illicit substance use. Specifically, it was hypothesized that a server's role stress (conflict and ambiguity) would stimulate substance use. Also, this study tested the impact of substance use on job and life satisfaction, and the moderating effect of self-control on the relationship between role stress and substance use. The results demonstrated that role ambiguity had a positive influence on substance use. Servers' drug use had a positive influence on job satisfaction, but no significant influence was found for alcohol use. As hypothesized, job satisfaction significantly increased life satisfaction. Lastly, self-control moderated the relationship between role stress and substance use. Detailed results and implications of the findings are provided in the main body of this paper.
Servicing Advocacy in E-Government: Small Business Development Services in Cape Town

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Small businesses are widely regarded by national and international bodies, including the South African government, as an "engine of economic growth". However, much available evidence suggests that establishing a new small business in South Africa is difficult because of a lack of appropriate support. The research reported here sets out to examine the actual support that has been available, and the viewpoints of both the support service providers and the intended beneficiaries – small business owners and managers. It was found that government-based support services were predominant in the minds of small businesses and other involved parties, and that much of the interest in these services was based on accessibility via the Internet, a form of electronic government service. However, despite claims of success by e-government service providers, it is found that many small businesses are not aware of available support services, and that, where they are known, there is scepticism about the benefits of engaging with them. As the problems have been found to be centred around a lack of awareness of available services, this article reports on a possible solution, based on a concept referred to here as Servicing Advocacy.
EigenNet: A Bayesian hybrid of generative and conditional models for sparse learning

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

It is a challenging task to select correlated variables in a high dimensional space. To address this challenge, the elastic net has been developed and successfully applied to many applications. Despite its great success, the elastic net does not explicitly use correlation information embedded in data to select correlated variables. To overcome this limitation, we present a novel Bayesian hybrid model, the EigenNet, that uses the eigenstructures of data to guide variable selection. Specifically, it integrates a sparse conditional classification model with a generative model capturing variable correlations in a principled Bayesian framework. We reparameterize the hybrid model in the eigenspace to avoid overfiting and to increase the computational efficiency of its MCMC sampler. Furthermore, we provide an alternative view to the EigenNet from a regularization perspective: the EigenNet has an adaptive eigenspace-based composite regularizer, which naturally generalizes the $l_{1/2}$ regularizer used by the elastic net. Experiments on synthetic and real data show that the EigenNet significantly outperforms the lasso, the elastic net, and the Bayesian lasso in terms of prediction accuracy, especially when the number of training samples is smaller than the number of variables.

The efficacy of attendance and semi-attendance group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on the anxiety disorders of adolescent girls

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Background: Anxiety disorders are one of the most psychiatric disorders in children and adolescents that can cause long life functional disability. The first line treatment for this disorder is cognitive behavioral therapy that has primary, secondary and tertiary preventive effect, but is expensive and long time. Today there is some effort to find short term, group, semi-attendance and low cost therapies. Methods: Subjects were 42 girls (12- 17 y) with at least one anxiety disorder according to DSM-IV-TR with their parents who were divided into two groups randomly: group A which participated in 8 sessions and group B which participated in 4 sessions and the contents of sessions 3, 4, 6, and 7 were recorded on a CD for them. The tests used in this study were: SCARED, CATS, CAIS-C, CAIS-P, conducted before (T0), just after (T1) and three months after the treatment (T2). The collected data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance test using SPSS software package, version 15.0. Results: There was no significant difference between efficacy of semi-attendance group CBT and attendance group CBT in T0, T1 and T2 according to 4 tests (p = 0.311). The difference between the scores of these tests between T0 andT1 and T0 and T2 was significant in both groups (p < 0.001) but the difference between T1 and T2 was not significant. (p = 0.771). Conclusions: The efficacy of semi-attendance group CBT and attendance group CBT is similar and would sustain after 3 months.
Migrating Young Unaccompanied Children and the Mobile Commons: Law, Vulnerability, and the Practice of Family Reunification in Sweden

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract In this article I call for an awareness of the mobile commons– the informal support that exists among migrating people, NGOs, and activists – in relation to the realization of family reunification. Taking its point of departure in a concrete case of family reunification for young unaccompanied children, the article seeks to expose how the traditional legal notion of the liberal subject fails to provide protection in the context of legal practice. I argue for using the vulnerable subject as a starting point, in order to make more visible the context in which law operates and ensure protection even for the youngest children.
Prevalence of cannabidiol (CBD) consumption and cancer patients’ expectations in one oncology day-hospital: A cross-sectional study and questionnaire validation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction The growing interest of cannabidiol (CBD) in medical care prompted French health authorities to explore the potential of CBD in cancer-related severe symptoms. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of CBD use among cancer patients with potential associated factors and to measure the cancer patient's health literacy (HL) on CBD consumption. Methods In a prospective study in oncology day-care hospital including patients from 29 October to 20 December 2021, we collected demographic, biological, and oncological characteristics. Patient CBD HL was measured by the hetero-questionnaire 8-item-CBD HL scale (HLS-8-CBD) whose conception has been validated by a psychometric analysis. Results Among 363 participants, 20 patients (5.5%) reported CBD use. Factors associated with CBD use were: age <60 years (odd ratio = 7.80[1.36–13.32], p < 10 −4 versus ≥60 years), smoking history (OR = 5.53[1.81–16.88], p < 0.01), and no smoking cessation (OR = 5.07[1.66–15.46], p < 0.01). CBD use was also associated with a better CBD total HL score than non-users ( p -value = 0.02). Conclusion Identification of factors associated with CBD use and a relatively high patient CBD HL in CBD users showed that CBD use in cancer patients care represented a new concern and should enhance health professionals to consider CBD with its associated drug-related problems.
The distribution of the Lasso: Uniform control over sparse balls and\n adaptive parameter tuning

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The Lasso is a popular regression method for high-dimensional problems in\nwhich the number of parameters $\\theta_1,\\dots,\\theta_N$, is larger than the\nnumber $n$ of samples: $N>n$. A useful heuristics relates the statistical\nproperties of the Lasso estimator to that of a simple soft-thresholding\ndenoiser,in a denoising problem in which the parameters $(\\theta_i)_{i\\le N}$\nare observed in Gaussian noise, with a carefully tuned variance. Earlier work\nconfirmed this picture in the limit $n,N\\to\\infty$, pointwise in the parameters\n$\\theta$, and in the value of the regularization parameter.\n Here, we consider a standard random design model and prove exponential\nconcentration of its empirical distribution around the prediction provided by\nthe Gaussian denoising model. Crucially, our results are uniform with respect\nto $\\theta$ belonging to $\\ell_q$ balls, $q\\in [0,1]$, and with respect to the\nregularization parameter. This allows to derive sharp results for the\nperformances of various data-driven procedures to tune the regularization.\n Our proofs make use of Gaussian comparison inequalities, and in particular of\na version of Gordon's minimax theorem developed by Thrampoulidis, Oymak, and\nHassibi, which controls the optimum value of the Lasso optimization problem.\nCrucially, we prove a stability property of the minimizer in Wasserstein\ndistance, that allows to characterize properties of the minimizer itself.\n
Serial cosputtering for aluminum doping manipulated zinc oxide as front contact for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cells

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) thin films were deposited by modified in-line direct current magnetron sputtering - so-called serial cosputtering - using two commercial rotatable targets. A metallic aluminum target (secondary target) was used to condition the surface of a rotatable ceramic aluminum-doped zinc oxide target (ZnO:Al₂O₃ 99 : 1 wt %) as the primary target from which the film was deposited. Consequently, the direct current power applied to the secondary target enabled the variation of doping concentration in the deposited film. An optical transmittance >80% with an improved resistivity (<10⁻³ Ω-cm) and a higher carrier concentration (3 × 10²⁰–6 × 10²⁰ cm⁻³) were demonstrated in 300-nm-thick AZO thin films. AZO films with 2.23 at. % aluminum concentration used as the transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer in copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) solar cells showed the best results with an efficiency of up to 13.2% due to an improved fill factor. The results reveal that adjusting the aluminum concentration could be used to match the electrical and optical characteristics of the TCO layer to those of the solar cells.
The Effect of Haemodilution on Arterial Blood Pressure, Central Venous Pressure, Intracranial and Intra-Ocular Pressures in Pigs

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

During the open-heart surgery, haemodilution is performed before extracorporeal circulation is started by the sampling of autologous blood and substituting an electrolyte solution. Following extracorporeal circulation, first the machine-blood and then the autologous blood is reinfused. The haemodilution and reinfusion procedures lead to alterations in blood osmolality and tissue fluid distribution, initiating changes in arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, intracranial and intraocular pressures. These changes were studied in pigs. It is believed that these potentially hazardous pressure alterations can be minimized through proper handling of the procedure. This study presents some of the mechanisms involved.
Class inequality in Brazil: the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA) in the crossroads of debates in the 2000s and early 2010s

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Whether as a category of social stratification or a subject of collective action, the term “class” has appeared frequently in recent debates about Brazilian political life. The renewed interest in the topic can be traced back to, at least, the first attempts to interpret the experience of upward social mobility by numerically expressive groups of people during the years of the government of the Workers' Party (Portuguese acronym: PT) at the head of the Presidency of the Republic. There was then a diffuse perception that something was changing in the Brazilian class structure, and that, whatever these changes might be, they would affect somehow the forms of the political expression of the social conflict.
