Abstract

The Target Absorbers for Neutrals (TANs) are located in a high-intensity radiation environment inside the tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). TANs are positioned about $140$ m downstream from the beam interaction points. Seven $40$ cm long fused silica rods with different dopant specifications were irradiated in the TAN by the Beam RAte of Neutrals (BRAN) detector group during $p$+$p$ data taking from 2016 to 2018 at the LHC. The peak dose delivered to the fused silica rods was $18$ MGy. We report measurements of the $^{22}$Na activation of the fused silica rods carried out at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Argonne National Laboratory. At the end of the irradiation campaign, the maximum $^{22}$Na activity observed was $A=21$ kBq$/{\rm cm^3}$ corresponding to a density, $\rho= 2.5\times 10^{12} /{\rm cm^3}$, of $^{22}$Na nuclei. FLUKA Monte Carlo simulations have been performed by the CERN FLUKA team to estimate $^{22}$Na activities for the irradiated BRAN rod samples. The simulations reproduce the $^{22}$Na activity profile measured along the rods, with a 35% underestimation of the experimental measurement results., Comment: 11 pages, 14 figures, to be submitted to PRAB

Abstract

Weak radiative decays of the B mesons belong to the most important flavor changing processes that provide constraints on physics at the TeV scale. In the derivation of such constraints, accurate standard model predictions for the inclusive branching ratios play a crucial role. In the current Letter we present an update of these predictions, incorporating all our results for the O(alpha_s^2) and lower-order perturbative corrections that have been calculated after 2006. New estimates of nonperturbative effects are taken into account, too. For the CP- and isospin-averaged branching ratios, we find B_{s gamma} = (3.36 +_ 0.23) * 10^-4 and B_{d gamma} = 1.73^{+0.12}_{-0.22} * 10^-5, for E_gamma > 1.6GeV. Both results remain in agreement with the current experimental averages. Normalizing their sum to the inclusive semileptonic branching ratio, we obtain R_gamma = ( B_{s gamma} + B_{d gamma})/B_{c l nu} = (3.31 +_ 0.22) * 10^-3. A new bound from B_{s gamma} on the charged Higgs boson mass in the two-Higgs-doublet-model II reads M_{H^+} > 480 GeV at 95%C.L., Comment: journal version, 5 pages, no figures

The data from the search engine may reveal what information on coloscopy gains the attention of Internet users. We aimed to investigate Google searches trends and terms related to colonoscopy.Patients and Methods: We retrieved statistics searches related to colonoscopy using Google Trends (GT) and Google Ads (GA) for the period from April 2016 to March 2020. The GT data was used for the analysis of time and regional search patterns worldwide. GA data for Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand (NZ), Poland, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US) were used to calculate the search volume of categories of queries related to colonoscopy.Results: Globally, the relative search volume on colonoscopy has increased until the COVID-19 outbreak and revealed seasonal variation: the highest interest was observed in March (CRC awareness month), and the lowest during December (Christmas holidays). The highest number of searches per 1000 Google users-years was done in Poland (59.62) and the lowest in the UK (19.46). Most commonly, Google users searched for details on colonoscopy techniques (Australia, Canada, Ireland, NZ), anesthesia during the procedure (Poland), facility performing colonoscopy (UK, US). In all seven countries, less than 2% of queries concerned with bowel preparation before the procedure.Conclusion: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the interest in colonoscopy has increased among Google users. Google users may underestimate the importance of proper bowel preparation.Keywords: colonoscopy, internet, google, trends, infodemiology

Abstract

This paper presents thermal analyses of a power amplifier placed in a wind tunnel. All the investigations are based on the transient temperature measurements performed during the circuit cooling process. The measured cooling curves were used to compute the cumulative and differential structure functions for the circuit with a heat sink. These functions helped to determine the optimal values of circuit model parameters necessary for numerical thermal simulations. The experiments demonstrated the influence of the wind speed on the value of the heat transfer coefficient and consequently on the temperature of the entire structure., Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions (http://irevues.inist.fr/tima-editions)

Abstract

We discuss a Pareto macro-economy (a) in a closed system with fixed total wealth and (b) in an open system with average mean wealth and compare our results to a similar analysis in a super-open system (c) with unbounded wealth. Wealth condensation takes place in the social phase for closed and open economies, while it occurs in the liberal phase for super-open economies. In the first two cases, the condensation is related to a mechanism known from the balls-in-boxes model, while in the last case to the non-integrable tails of the Pareto distribution. For a closed macro-economy in the social phase, we point to the emergence of a ``corruption'' phenomenon: a sizeable fraction of the total wealth is always amassed by a single individual., Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure

Abstract

Background To date, no scale has been validated to assess bubbles associated with bowel preparation. This study aimed to develop and assess the reliability of a novel scale - the Colon Endoscopic Bubble Scale (CEBuS). Methods This was a multicenter, prospective, observational study with two online evaluation phases of 45 randomly distributed still colonoscopy images (15 per scale grade). Observers assessed images twice, 2 weeks apart, using CEBuS (CEBuS-0 - no or minimal bubbles, covering<5% of the surface; CEBuS-1 - bubbles covering 5%-50%; CEBuS-2 - bubbles covering >50%) and reporting the clinical action (do nothing; wash with water; wash with simethicone). Results CEBuS provided high levels of agreement both in evaluation Phase 1 (4 experts) and Phase 2 (6 experts and 13 non-experts), with almost perfect intraobserver reliability: kappa 0.82 (95% confidence interval 0.75-0.88) and 0.86 (0.85-0.88); interobserver agreement - intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.83 (0.73-0.89) and 0.90 (0.86-0.94). Previous endoscopic experience had no influence on agreement among experts vs. non-experts: kappa 0.86 (0.80-0.91) vs. 0.87 (0.84-0.89) and ICC 0.91 (0.87-0.94) vs. 0.90 (0.86-0.94), respectively. Interobserver agreement on clinical action was ICC 0.63 (0.43-0.78) in Phase 1 and 0.77 (0.68-0.84) in Phase 2.Absolute agreement on clinical action per scale grade was 85% (82-88) for CEBuS-0, 21% (16-26) for CEBuS-1, and 74% (70-78) for CEBuS-2. Conclusion CEBuS proved to be a reliable instrument to standardize the evaluation of colonic bubbles during colonoscopy. Assessment in daily practice is warranted.

Abstract

To compare different antibiotic prophylaxis administered after preterm premature rupture of membranes to determine whether any were associated with differences in obstetric and/or neonatal outcomes and/or neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years of corrected age.Prospective, nationwide, population-based EPIPAGE-2 cohort study of preterm infants.France, 2011.We included 492 women with a singleton pregnancy and a diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes at 24-31 weeks. Exclusion criteria were contraindication to expectant management or indication for antibiotic therapy other than preterm premature rupture of membranes. Antibiotic prophylaxis was categorised as amoxicillin (n = 345), macrolide (n = 30), third-generation cephalosporin (n = 45) or any combinations covering Streptococcus agalactiae and90% of Escherichia coli (n = 72), initiated within 24 hours after preterm premature rupture of membranes.Population-averaged robust Poisson models.Survival at discharge without severe neonatal morbidity, 2-year neurodevelopment.With amoxicillin, macrolide, third-generation cephalosporin and combinations, 78.5%, 83.9%, 93.6% and 86.0% of neonates were discharged alive without severe morbidity. The administration of third-generation cephalosporin or any E. coli-targeting combinations was associated with improved survival without severe morbidity (adjusted risk ratio 1.25 [95% confidence interval 1.08-1.45] and 1.10 [95 % confidence interval 1.01-1.20], respectively) compared with amoxicillin. We evidenced no increase in neonatal sepsis related to third-generation cephalosporin-resistant pathogen.In preterm premature rupture of membranes at 24-31 weeks, antibiotic prophylaxis based on third-generation cephalosporin may be associated with improved survival without severe neonatal morbidity when compared with amoxicillin, with no evidence of increase in neonatal sepsis related to third-generation cephalosporin-resistant pathogen.Antibiotic prophylaxis after PPROM at 24-31 weeks: 3rd-generation cephalosporins associated with improved neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

BackgroundThere is a limited amount of data on the COVID-19 vector vaccine Gam-COVID-Vac (Sputnik V) safety profile. Previous infodemiology studies showed that social media discourse could be analyzed to assess the most concerning adverse events (AE) caused by drugs.ObjectiveWe aimed to investigate mild AEs of Sputnik V based on a participatory trial conducted on Telegram in the Russian language. We compared AEs extracted from Telegram with other limited databases on Sputnik V and other COVID-19 vaccines. We explored symptom co-occurrence patterns and determined how counts of administered doses, age, gender, and sequence of shots could confound the reporting of AEs.Materials and MethodsWe collected a unique dataset consisting of 11,515 self-reported Sputnik V vaccine AEs posted on the Telegram group, and we utilized natural language processing methods to extract AEs. Specifically, we performed multi-label classifications using the deep neural language model BERT “DeepPavlov”, which we pre-trained on a Russian language corpus and applied to the Telegram messages. The resulting AUC score was 0.991. We chose symptom classes that represented the following AEs: fever, pain, chills, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headache, insomnia, lymph node enlargement, erythema, pruritus, swelling, and diarrhea.ResultsThe results of the retrospective analysis showed that females reported more AEs than males (1.2-fold, Pβ = .05 per year, PThe Lancet. However, the AEs reported in Telegram posts were consistent (Pearson correlation r=.94, P=.02) with those reported in the Argentinian post-marketing AE registry.ConclusionAfter receiving the Sputnik V vaccination, Telegram users complained about pain (47%), fever (47%), fatigue (34%), and headache (25%). The results showed that the AE profile of Sputnik V was comparable with other COVID-19 vaccines. Examining the sentinel properties of participatory trials (which is subject to self-reporting biases) could still provide meaningful information about pharmaceutics, especially if only a limited amount of information on AEs is provided by producers.

Abstract

The damage-induced voltage alteration (DIVA) contrast mechanism in scanning electron microscope (SEM) has been studied in broad range of the primary electron beam energies, with a special emphasis on the ultra-low energy range. The SEM imaging contrast related to resistivity changes in the In(0.55)Al(0.45)P irradiated with He2+ ions of 600 keV was subjected to an analysis in a range of 10 keV down to 10 eV of primary electron energies. The problem of specimen charging in ultra-low energy range and its effect on the contrast in SEM images has been tackled for the first time. Contrary to expectations based on the classical total emission yield approach, the potentials formed at the highly resistive part of irradiated area led to dramatic increase in the intensity of registered signal for primary electron energies below E1, which can be explained as signal saturation due to potential on the specimen surface acting as repeller for primary electrons. Nevertheless, the experimental data presenting the influence of the beam energy on the potential formation on the surface of an insulating material under electron irradiation have been presented for the first time in ultra-low energy regime.

Abstract

The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has developed performance measures and established a framework for quality assessment for gastrointestinal endoscopy in Europe. Most national societies actively undertake initiatives to implement and explicitly endorse these quality indicators. Given this, ESGE proposes that, at a national level, strong leadership should exist to disseminate and implement quality parameters. Thus, understanding the potential barriers that may vary locally is of paramount importance. ESGE suggests that each national society should prioritize quality and standards of care in gastrointestinal endoscopy in their activities and should survey/understand which measures are a local priority to their members and make measuring quality intrinsic to daily endoscopy practice.

Abstract

Background & Aims: There is a lack of clinical studies to establish indications and methodology for tattooing, therefore technique and practice of tattooing is very variable. We aimed to establish a consensus on the indications and appropriate techniques for colonic tattoo through a modified Delphi process. Methods: The baseline questionnaire was classified into 3 areas: where tattooing should not be used (1 domain, 6 questions), where tattooing should be used (4 domains, 20 questions), and how to perform tattooing (1 domain 20 questions). A total of 29 experts participated in the 3 rounds of the Delphi process. Results: A total of 15 statements were approved. The statements that achieved the highest agreement were as follows: tattooing should always be used after endoscopic resection of a lesion with suspicion of submucosal invasion (agreement score, 4.59; degree of consensus, 97%). For a colorectal lesion that is left in situ but considered suitable for endoscopic resection, tattooing may be used if the lesion is considered difficult to detect at a subsequent endoscopy (agreement score, 4.62; degree of consensus, 100%). A tattoo should never be injected directly into or underneath a lesion that might be removed endoscopically at a later point in time (agreement score, 4.79; degree of consensus, 97%). Details of the tattoo injection should be stated clearly in the endoscopy report (agreement score, 4.76; degree of consensus, 100%). Conclusions: This expert consensus has developed different statements about where tattooing should not be used, when it should be used, and how that should be done.

33. DatalogMTL over integer timeline

Author

Walega, PA, Cuenca Grau, B, Kaminski, M, and Kostylev, EV

Abstract

We study DatalogMTL—an extension of Datalog with metric temporal operators—under integer semantics, where the temporal domain of both interpretations and temporal operators consists of integer time points only. This is in contrast to the standard semantics, which is defined over the rational timeline. DatalogMTL under integer semantics is an interesting KR language: on the one hand, one can often assume the integer timeline in applications; on the other hand, it captures prominent temporal extensions of Datalog such as Datalog1S. We show that the choice of integer semantics leads to more favourable computational properties. We first show that reasoning over integers is at most as hard as reasoning over rationals for DatalogMTL and its natural fragments. Then, we investigate fragments of DatalogMTL where adopting the integer semantics makes reasoning easier. In particular, we show that complexity drops from P-hard to NC1-complete for the propositional fragment (where all object variables are grounded), and from TC0-hard to ACC0 for the linear fragment where the past diamond operator is the only metric operator allowed in rule bodies. Thus, reasoning in such fragments is both tractable and highly parallelisable, which suggests their appropriateness for data-intensive applications.

41. Foundations of ontology-based data access under bag semantics

Author

Nikolaou, C, Kostylev, E, Konstantinidis, G, Kaminski, M, Cuenca Grau, B, and Horrocks, I

Abstract

Ontology-based data access (OBDA) is a popular approach for integrating and querying multiple data sources by means of a shared ontology. The ontology is linked to the sources using mappings, which assign to ontology predicates views over the data. The conventional semantics of OBDA is set-based—that is, the extension of the views defined by the mappings does not contain duplicate tuples. This treatment is, however, in disagreement with the standard semantics of database views and database management systems in general, which is based on bags and where duplicate tuples are retained by default. The distinction between set and bag semantics in databases is very significant in practice, and it influences the evaluation of aggregate queries. In this article, we propose and study a bag semantics for OBDA which provides a solid foundation for the future study of aggregate and analytic queries. Our semantics is compatible with both the bag semantics of database views and the set-based conventional semantics of OBDA. Furthermore, it is compatible with existing bag-based semantics for data exchange recently proposed in the literature. We show that adopting a bag semantics makes conjunctive query answering in OBDA CONP-hard in data complexity. To regain tractability of query answering, we consider suitable restrictions along three dimensions, namely, the query language, the ontology language, and the adoption of the unique name assumption. Our investigation shows a complete picture of the computational properties of query answering under bag semantics over ontologies in the DL-Lite family.

Abstract

The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and United European Gastroenterology present a list of key performance measures for endoscopy services. We recommend that these performance measures be adopted by all endoscopy services across Europe. The measures include those related to the leadership, organization, and delivery of the service, as well as those associated with the patient journey. Each measure includes a recommendation for a minimum and target standard for endoscopy services to achieve. We recommend that all stakeholders in endoscopy take note of these ESGE endoscopy services performance measures to accelerate their adoption and implementation. Stakeholders include patients and their advocacy groups; service leaders; staff, including endoscopists; professional societies; payers; and regulators.

Abstract

The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and United European Gastroenterology (UEG) have identified that the quality of endoscopy procedures as a major priority. Aiming to raise the quality of everyday endoscopy, the ESGE Quality Improvement Initiative has developed a set of consensus-and evidence-based key performance measures for the main activity areas of clinical endoscopy (i.e. upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, small bowel, pancreas and biliary tract) and for endoscopy services. Each measure includes a recommendation for a minimum and target standard to achieve. The list of key performance measures for endoscopy services includes those related to the leadership, organization and delivery of the service, as well as those associated with the patient journey. The adoption and implementation of these measures by all relevant stakeholders (including patients and their advocacy groups, health professionals, scientific societies, payers and regulators) would favour the provision of high quality, safe, accurate, patient-centered and accessible endoscopic care.

Abstract

Main Recommendations ESGE recommends a low fiber diet on the day preceding colonoscopy. Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. ESGE recommends the use of enhanced instructions for bowel preparation. Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. ESGE suggests adding oral simethicone to bowel preparation. Weak recommendation, moderate quality evidence. ESGE recommends split-dose bowel preparation for elective colonoscopy. Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. ESGE recommends, for patients undergoing afternoon colonoscopy, a same-day bowel preparation as an acceptable alternative to split dosing. Strong recommendation, high quality evidence. ESGE recommends to start the last dose of bowel preparation within 5 hours of colonoscopy, and to complete it at least 2 hours before the beginning of the procedure. Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence. ESGE recommends the use of high volume or low volume PEG-based regimens as well as that of non-PEG-based agents that have been clinically validated for routine bowel preparation. In patients at risk for hydroelectrolyte disturbances, the choice of laxative should be individualized. Strong recommendation, moderate quality evidence.
