Abstract: During March–June 2017 emissions of nitrogen oxides were measured via eddy covariance at the British Telecom Tower in central London, UK. Through the use of a footprint model the expected emissions were simulated from the spatially resolved National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory for 2017 and compared with the measured emissions. These simulated emissions were shown to underestimate measured emissions during the daytime by a factor of 1.48, but they agreed well overnight. Furthermore, underestimations were spatially mapped, and the areas around the measurement site responsible for differences in measured and simulated emissions were inferred. It was observed that areas of higher traffic, such as major roads near national rail stations, showed the greatest underestimation by the simulated emissions. These discrepancies are partially attributed to a combination of the inventory not fully capturing traffic conditions in central London and both the spatial and temporal resolution of the inventory not fully describing the high heterogeneity of the urban centre. Understanding of this underestimation may be further improved with longer measurement time series to better understand temporal variation and improved temporal scaling factors to better simulate sub-annual emissions.

Abstract: The Atmospheric Pollution and Human Health in a Chinese Megacity (APHH-Beijing) programme is an international collaborative project focusing on understanding the sources, processes and health effects of air pollution in the Beijing megacity. APHH-Beijing brings together leading China and UK research groups, state-of-the-art infrastructure and air quality models to work on four research themes: (1) sources and emissions of air pollutants; (2) atmospheric processes affecting urban air pollution; (3) air pollution exposure and health impacts; and (4) interventions and solutions. Themes 1 and 2 are closely integrated and support Theme 3, while Themes 1–3 provide scientific data for Theme 4 to develop cost-effective air pollution mitigation solutions. This paper provides an introduction to (i) the rationale of the APHH-Beijing programme and (ii) the measurement and modelling activities performed as part of it. In addition, this paper introduces the meteorology and air quality conditions during two joint intensive field campaigns – a core integration activity in APHH-Beijing. The coordinated campaigns provided observations of the atmospheric chemistry and physics at two sites: (i) the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in central Beijing and (ii) Pinggu in rural Beijing during 10 November–10 December 2016 (winter) and 21 May–22 June 2017 (summer). The campaigns were complemented by numerical modelling and automatic air quality and low-cost sensor observations in the Beijing megacity. In summary, the paper provides background information on the APHH-Beijing programme and sets the scene for more focused papers addressing specific aspects, processes and effects of air pollution in Beijing.

3. What is the role of video feedback in supporting parents experiencing mental health problems?

Author: J. Barlow
Subjects: Psychiatry, RC435-571
Abstract: Abstract Body Parental mental health problems have been found to have a significant impact on a range of aspects of parental caregiving during the postnatal period, with significant implications in terms of key aspects of the child’s development. Video feedback is a generic term that refers to the use of videotaped interactions of the parent and child to promote parental sensitivity, and a recent meta‐analysis of 20 studies (1757 parent‐child dyads) found that video feedback can improve parental sensitivity compared with a control or no intervention up to six months’ follow‐up. This paper will examine the ways in which video feedback might contribute to the ability of parents with mental health problems to provide the type of caregiving that will promote the development of a secure attachment in the infant. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract: Abstract The decays of the B + meson to the final state D ∗ − D s + π + $$ {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{+}{\pi}^{+} $$ are studied in proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 fb −1. The ratio of branching fractions of the B + → D ∗ − D s + π + $$ {B}^{+}\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{+}{\pi}^{+} $$ and B 0 → D ∗ − D s + $$ {B}^0\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{+} $$ decays is measured to be 0.173 ± 0.006 ± 0.010, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Using partially reconstructed D s ∗ + → D s + γ $$ {D}_s^{\ast +}\to {D}_s^{+}\gamma $$ and D s + π 0 $$ {D}_s^{+}{\pi}^0 $$ decays, the ratio of branching fractions between the B + → D ∗ − D s ∗ + π + $$ {B}^{+}\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{\ast +}{\pi}^{+} $$ and B + → D ∗ − D s + π + $$ {B}^{+}\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{+}{\pi}^{+} $$ decays is determined as 1.31 ± 0.07 ± 0.14. An amplitude analysis of the B + → D ∗ − D s + π + $$ {B}^{+}\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{+}{\pi}^{+} $$ decay is performed for the first time, revealing dominant contributions from known excited charm resonances decaying to the D *− π + final state. No significant evidence of exotic contributions in the D s + π + $$ {D}_s^{+}{\pi}^{+} $$ or D ∗ − D s + $$ {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{+} $$ channels is found. The fit fraction of the scalar state T c s ¯ 0 ∗ 2900 + + $$ {T}_{c\overline{s}0}^{\ast }{(2900)}^{++} $$ observed in the B + → D − D s + π + $$ {B}^{+}\to {D}^{-}{D}_s^{+}{\pi}^{+} $$ decay is determined to be less than 2.3% at a 90% confidence level.

Abstract: Abstract A search for radiative decay of B s 0 $$ {B}_s^0 $$ mesons to orbitally excited K + K − states is performed using proton proton collisions recorded by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb −1. The dikaon spectrum in the mass range m KK < 2400 MeV/c 2 is dominated by the ϕ(1020) resonance that accounts for almost 70% of the decay rate. Considering the possible contributions of f 2(1270), f 2 ′ $$ {f}_2^{\prime } $$ (1525) and f 2(2010) meson states, the overall tensor contribution to the amplitude is measured to be F f 2 = 16.8 ± 0.5 stat . ± 0.7 syst . % , $$ {\mathcal{F}}_{\left\{{f}_2\right\}}=16.8\pm 0.5\left(\textrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.7\left(\textrm{syst}.\right)\%, $$ mostly dominated by the f 2 ′ $$ {f}_2^{\prime } $$ (1525) state. Several statistically equivalent solutions are obtained for the detailed resonant structure depending on whether the smaller amplitudes interfere destructively or constructively with the dominant amplitude. The preferred solution that corresponds to the lowest values of the fit fractions along with constructive interference leads to the relative branching ratio measurement B B s 0 → f 2 ′ γ B B s 0 → ϕγ = 19.4 − 0.8 + 0.9 stat . − 0.5 + 1.4 syst . ± 0.5 B % , $$ \frac{\mathcal{B}\left({B}_s^0\to {f}_2^{\prime}\gamma \right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({B}_s^0\to \phi \gamma \right)}={19.4}_{-0.8}^{+0.9}{\left(\textrm{stat}.\right)}_{-0.5}^{+1.4}\left(\textrm{syst}.\right)\pm 0.5\left(\mathcal{B}\right)\%, $$ where the last uncertainty is due to the ratio of measured branching fractions to the K + K − final state. This result represents the first observation of the radiative B s 0 → f 2 ′ 1525 γ $$ {B}_s^0\to {f}_2^{\prime }(1525)\gamma $$ decay, which is the second radiative transition observed in the B s 0 $$ {B}_s^0 $$ sector.

Abstract: Abstract Decays of Ξ b − $$ {\Xi}_b^{-} $$ and Ω b − $$ {\Omega}_b^{-} $$ baryons to Λ c + h − h ′ − $$ {\Lambda}_c^{+}{h}^{-}{h}^{\prime -} $$ final states, with h − h ′− being π − π − , K − π − and K − K − meson pairs, are searched for using data collected with the LHCb detector. The data sample studied corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb −1 of pp collisions collected at centre-of-mass energies s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The products of the relative branching fractions and fragmentation fractions for each signal mode, relative to the B − → Λ c + p ¯ π − $$ {B}^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}\overline{p}{\pi}^{-} $$ mode, are measured, with Ξ b − → Λ c + K − π − $$ {\Xi}_b^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}{K}^{-}{\pi}^{-} $$ , Ξ b − → Λ c + K − K − $$ {\Xi}_b^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}{K}^{-}{K}^{-} $$ and Ω b − → Λ c + K − K − $$ {\varOmega}_b^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}{K}^{-}{K}^{-} $$ decays being observed at over 5 σ significance. The Ξ b − → Λ c + K − π − $$ {\Xi}_b^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}{K}^{-}{\pi}^{-} $$ mode is also used to measure the Ξ b − $$ {\Xi}_b^{-} $$ production asymmetry, which is found to be consistent with zero. In addition, the B − → Λ c + p ¯ K − $$ {B}^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}\overline{p}{K}^{-} $$ decay is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is measured relative to that of the B − → Λ c + p ¯ π − $$ {B}^{-}\to {\Lambda}_c^{+}\overline{p}{\pi}^{-} $$ mode.

Subjects: Technology, Environmental technology. Sanitary engineering, TD1-1066, Geography. Anthropology. Recreation, Environmental sciences, GE1-350
Abstract: Three upland Lake District Tarns, Scoat, Greendale and Burnmoor, have been evaluated using MAGIC (Model of Acidification of Groundwater In Catchments) to reconstruct past, present and future chemical behaviour. The modelled historical changes in acidity are compared with palaeoecological estimation of pH to demonstrate model validity. Chemistry as simulated for all anions and cations and two of the three lakes are shown to have undergone significant acidification. The effects of changing atmospheric pollution levels on lake chemistry is evaluated and 80-90% sulphur reduction levels are required to achieve zero alkalinity. The impacts of increased nitrogen deposition are assessed and are shown to further delay reversibility.

9. Medical Practitioner Perceptions of Professional Development Opportunities as Mechanisms to Support the Institution's Educational Mission

Author: Christopher J. Barlow
Abstract: Medical practitioners within university health service facilities bring individualized attention to a student's physical and emotional well-being. This creates a unique opportunity to work within the educational constructs of the university while also providing direct clinical care services. Despite an abundance of research in the field of professional development and student services there has been limited research focused on the medical staff within health service facilities on land-grant college campuses. With the unique clinical setting of providing patient care along with support and guidance to students on their educational and life journeys, the study explored the types of professional development opportunities afforded to practitioners. The purpose of this study is to investigate perceptions of university medical practitioners' opportunities of professional development and how these experiences shape contributions to the university's educational mission. The study focused on three key questions. First, in what way do medical practitioners see their operational role on campus as agents for the university's educational mission? Second, to what extent do university medical practitioners believe their professional development opportunities are in alignment with the university's educational mission? Finally, what are the perceptions of university medical practitioners toward their conceived ability to help college students succeed on campus in fulfillment of the university's educational mission? The theoretical framework for the study centered on both change agency theory in the form of professional development and its influence on interactions with students and relational cultural theory. This study used a basic qualitative research methodology. Fourteen participants from seven different Midwest land-grant universities were interviewed for this study. Interviews were semi-structured in nature, with all participants following an initial interview script. Findings suggested four primary themes for the study. First, that practitioners see their role as developmental agents for a well-rounded explorative approach to student success. Second, that practitioners were able to identify professional development opportunities in both real and ideal terms. Third, practitioners sensed tension within alignment of their professional development opportunities as it related to the institution's mission as well as tension as it relates to organizational structure. The final theme was that practitioners can be seen as having an evolving view as educators in both providing building blocks for student life and with their conceived ability to help students succeed. Recommendations from the research included a need for continued development, refinement, and assessment of professional development plans with a need for transparency and evaluation with campus stakeholders. Additionally, there is a need for increased communication and collaboration between health services departments and student services leadership to achieve a collective understanding of professional development and its relationship to supporting the institution's educational mission. A final recommendation is heightened awareness and recognition of medical practitioners as educators with a need for resources and development related to student success principles.

11. Mid-Infrared Imaging of Supernova 1987A

Subjects: Astrophysics
Abstract: At a distance of 50 kpc, Supernova 1987A is an ideal target to study how a young supernova (SN) evolves in time. Its equatorial ring, filled with material expelled from the progenitor star about 20 000 yr ago, has been engulfed with SN blast waves. Shocks heat dust grains in the ring, emitting their energy at mid-infrared (IR) wavelengths We present ground-based 10–18 μm monitoring of the ring of SN 1987A from day 6067 to 12814 at a resolution of 0.5 arcsec, together with SOFIA photometry at 10–30 μm. The IR images in the 2000’s (day 6067–7242) showed that the shocks first began brightening the east side of the ring. Later, our mid-IR images from 2017 to 2022 (day 10952–12714) show that dust emission is now fading in the east, while it has brightened on the west side of the ring. Because dust grains are heated in the shocked plasma, which can emit X-rays, the IR and X-ray brightness ratio represent shock diagnostics. Until 2007 the IR to X-ray brightness ratio remained constant over time, and during this time shocks seemed to be largely influencing the east side of the ring. However, since then, the IR to X-ray ratio has been declining, due to increased X-ray brightness. Whether the declining IR brightness is because of dust grains being destroyed or being cooled in the post-shock regions will require more detailed modelling.

14. Far-infrared polarization of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A with SOFIA HAWC +

Abstract: We present polarization observations of the young supernova remnant (SNR) Cas A using the High-resolution Airborne Wideband Camera-Plus (HAWC+) instrument onboard the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The polarization map at 154 microns reveals dust grains with strong polarization fractions (5 - 30 percent), supporting previous measurements made over a smaller region of the remnant at 850 microns. The 154 microns emission and the polarization signal is coincident with a region of cold dust observed in the southeastern shell and in the unshocked central ejecta. The highly polarized far-IR emission implies the grains are large (greater than 0.14 microns) and silicate-dominated. The polarization level varies across the SNR, with an inverse correlation between the polarization degree and the intensity and smaller polarization angle dispersion for brighter SNR emission. Stronger polarization is detected between the bright structures. This may result from a higher collision rate between the gas and dust producing a lower grain alignment efficiency where the gas density is higher. We use the dust emission to provide an estimate of the magnetic field strength in Cas A using the Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi method. The high polarization level is direct evidence that grains are highly elongated and strongly aligned with the magnetic field of the SNR. The dust mass from the polarized region is 0.14+-0.04 Msun, a lower limit of the amount of dust present within the ejecta of Cas A. This result strengthens the hypothesis that core-collapse SNe are an important contributor to the dust mass in high redshift galaxies., Comment: MNRAS, accepted (18 pages with 14 figures)

Abstract: This review considers the effect of anthropogenic sound on beaked whales2. Two major conclusions are presented: (1) gas-bubble disease, induced in supersaturated tissue by a behavioural response to acoustic exposure, is a plausible pathologic mechanism for the morbidity and mortality seen in cetaceans associated with sonar exposure and merits further investigation; and (2) current monitoring and mitigation methods for beaked whales are ineffective for detecting these animals and protecting them from adverse sound exposure. In addition, four major research priorities, needed to address information gaps on the impacts of sound on beaked whales, are identified: (1) controlled exposure experiments to assess beaked whale responses to known sound stimuli; (2) investigation of physiology, anatomy, pathobiology and behaviour of beaked whales; (3) assessment of baseline diving behaviour and physiology of beaked whales; and (4) a retrospective review of beaked whale strandings.

Abstract: Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are potentially capable of producing large quantities of dust, with strong evidence that ejecta dust masses can grow significantly over extended periods of time. Red-blue asymmetries in the broad emission lines of CCSNe can be modelled using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code DAMOCLES, to determine ejecta dust masses. To facilitate easier use of DAMOCLES, we present a Tkinter graphical user interface (GUI) running DAMOCLES. The GUI was tested by high school students as part of the Original Research By Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS) programme, who used it to measure the dust masses formed at two epochs in two Type IIP CCSNe: SN 2012aw and iPTF14hls, demonstrating that a wide range of people can contribute significantly to scientific advancement. Bayesian methods were used to quantify uncertainties on our model parameters. From the presence of a red scattering wing in the day 1863 H$\alpha$ profile of SN 2012aw, we were able to constrain the dust composition to large (radius $>0.1 \mu$m) silicate grains, with a dust mass of $6.0^{+21.9}_{-3.6}\times10^{-4} M_\odot$. From the day 1158 H$\alpha$ profile of SN 2012aw, we found a dust mass of $3.0^{+14}_{-2.5}\times10^{-4}$ M$_\odot$. For iPTF14hls, we found a day 1170 dust mass of 8.1 $^{+81}_{-7.6}\times10^{-5}$ M$_{\odot}$ for a dust composition consisting of 50% amorphous carbon and 50% astronomical silicate. At 1000 days post explosion, SN 2012aw and iPTF14hls have formed less dust than SN 1987A, suggesting that SN 1987A could form larger dust masses than other Type IIP's., Comment: Accepted by MNRAS on 28/11/2022, 10 pages, 6 figures.

19. High Angular Resolution ALMA Images of Dust and Molecules in the SN 1987A Ejecta

Abstract: We present high angular resolution (∼80 mas) ALMA continuum images of the SN1987A system, together with CO J = 21, J = 65, and SiO J = 54 to J = 76 images, which clearly resolve the ejecta (dust continuum and molecules) and ring (synchrotron continuum) components. Dust in the ejecta is asymmetric and clumpy, and overall the dust fills the spatial void seen in Hα images, filling that region with material from heavier elements. The dust clumps generally fill the space where CO J = 6 5 is fainter, tentatively indicating that these dust clumps and CO are locationally and chemically linked. In these regions, carbonaceous dust grains might have formed after dissociation of CO. The dust grains would have cooled by radiation, and subsequent collisions of grains with gas would also cool the gas, suppressing the CO J = 6 5 intensity. The data show a dust peak spatially coincident with the molecular hole seen in previous ALMA CO J = 2 1 and SiO J = 5 4 images. That dust peak, combined with CO and SiO line spectra, suggests that the dust and gas could be at higher temperatures than the surrounding material, though higher density cannot be totally excluded. One of the possibilities is that a compact source provides additional heat at that location. Fits to the far-infrared–millimeter spectral energy distribution give ejecta dust temperatures of 18–23 K. We revise the ejecta dust mass to Mdust = 0.2–0.4 Mfor carbon or silicate grains, or a maximum of <0.7 Mfor a mixture of grain species, using the predicted nucleosynthesis yields as an upper limit.

20. Eta Carinae & the Homunculus: Far Infrared Sub-millimeter Spectral Lines detected with the Herschel Space Observatory

Author: T. R. Gull, P. W. Morris, J. H. Black, K. E. Nielsen, M. J. Barlow, P. Royer, and B. M. Swinyard
Subjects: Astrophysics
Abstract: The evolved massive binary star η Carinae underwent eruptive mass loss events that formed the complex bi-polar “Homunculus” nebula harboring tens of solar masses of unusually nitrogen-rich gas and dust. Despite expectations for the presence of a significant molecular component to the gas, detections have been observationally challenged by limited access to the far-infrared and the intense thermal continuum. A spectral survey of the atomic and rotational molecular transitions was carried out with theHerschel Space Observatory, revealing a rich spectrum of broad emission lines originating in the ejecta. Velocity profiles of selected PACS lines correlate well with known substructures: Hi in the central core; NH and weak [Cii] within the Homunculus; and [Nii] emissions in fast-moving structures external to the Homunculus.We have identified transitions from [Oi], Hi, and 18 separate light C- and O-bearing molecules including CO, CH, CH+, and OH, and a wide set of N-bearing molecules,NH, NH+, N2H+, NH2, NH3, HCN, HNC, CN, and N2H+. Half of these are new detections unprecedented for any early-type massive star environment. A very low ratio[12C/13C]≤4 is estimated from five molecules and their isotopologues. We demonstrate that non-LTE effects due to the strong continuum are significant. Abundance patterns are consistent with line formation in regions of carbon and oxygen depletions with nitrogen enhancements, reflecting an evolved state of the erupting star with efficient transport of CNO-processed material to the outer layers. The results offer many opportunities for further observational and theoretical investigations of the molecular chemistry under extreme physical and chemical conditions around massive stars in their final stages of evolution.

Abstract: Shockwaves driven by supernovae both destroy dust and reprocess the surviving grains, greatly affecting the resulting dust properties of the interstellar medium (ISM). While these processes have been extensively studied theoretically, observational constraints are limited. We use physically-motivated models of dust emission to fit the infrared (IR) spectral energy distributions of seven Galactic supernova remnants, allowing us to determine the distribution of dust mass between diffuse and dense gas phases, and between large and small grain sizes. We find that the dense ($\sim 10^3 \,{\rm cm}^{-3}$), relatively cool ($\sim 10^3 \, {\rm K}$) gas phase contains $>90\%$ of the dust mass, making the warm dust located in the X-ray emitting plasma ($\sim 1 \,{\rm cm}^{-3}$/$10^6 \, {\rm K}$) a negligible fraction of the total, despite dominating the mid-IR emission. The ratio of small ($\lesssim 10 \, {\rm nm}$) to large ($\gtrsim 0.1 \, {\rm μm}$) grains in the cold component is consistent with that in the ISM, and possibly even higher, whereas the hot phase is almost entirely devoid of small grains. This suggests that grain shattering, which processes large grains into smaller ones, is ineffective in the low-density gas, contrary to model predictions. Single-phase models of dust destruction in the ISM, which do not account for the existence of the cold swept-up material containing most of the dust mass, are likely to greatly overestimate the rate of dust destruction by supernovae., 13 pages, 12 figures.

Abstract: Objective To determine if there is an association between patient race and physician time spent with the patient during outpatient urology consultations. Methods We identified all adult urology new outpatient visits in the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey dataset for 2012-2016. Patient race was dichotomized as White or non-White. Our primary outcome was time spent during the visit between the patient and urologist. Using population-level weighting, we compared differences in mean time spent during visits with White and non-White patients. Mixed-effects linear regression was used to adjust for confounding factors and to account for clustering among individual physicians. Secondary outcomes included number of services provided and if ancillary providers were seen. Results Over the 5 year period, 1668 raw visits met criteria and were used to estimate 21million new outpatient urology visits nationwide. 80% of all visits were with White patients. Mean physician time spent among visits with white patients was 23.9 minutes and 24.4 minutes for non-White patients. There was no difference in number of services provided but visits with non-white patients were less likely to include an ancillary provider. After adjustment, there was no significant difference in mean time spent with the urologist among visits with White and non-White patients (difference 0.9 minutes, 95% CI: -0.6-2.4). There were also no differences in adjusted mean time spent among return visits or new visits for hematuria, urologic cancers, or BPH. Conclusion We found no statistically significant difference in time spent with a urologist during outpatient office consultations between White and non-White patients.

Abstract: A search for the doubly charmed baryon Ξ cc + $$ {\varXi}_{cc}^{+} $$ is performed in the Ξ c + π − π + $$ {\varXi}_c^{+}{\pi}^{-}{\pi}^{+} $$ invariant-mass spectrum, where the Ξ c + $$ {\varXi}_c^{+} $$ baryon is reconstructed in the pK − π + final state. The study uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at a centre- of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb −1. No significant signal is observed in the invariant-mass range of 3.4–3.8 GeV/c 2. Upper limits are set on the ratio of branching fractions multiplied by the production cross-section with respect to the Ξ cc + + $$ {\varXi}_{cc}^{++} $$ → ( Ξ c + $$ {\varXi}_c^{+} $$ → pK − π +)π + decay for different Ξ cc + $$ {\varXi}_{cc}^{+} $$ mass and lifetime hypotheses in the rapidity range from 2.0 to 4.5 and the transverse momentum range from 2.5 to 25 GeV/c. The results from this search are combined with a previously published search for the Ξ cc + $$ {\varXi}_{cc}^{+} $$ → Λ c + $$ {\varLambda}_c^{+} $$ K − π + decay mode, yielding a maximum local significance of 4.0 standard deviations around the mass of 3620 MeV/c 2, including systematic uncertainties. Taking into account the look-elsewhere effect in the 3.5–3.7 GeV/c 2 mass window, the combined global significance is 2.9 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties.

27. The Middle-Out Perspective: an approach to formalise 'normal practice' in public health advocacy

Author: JS Mindell, Y Parag, SE Bartington, L Stoll, J Barlow, and KB Janda
Subjects: Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health
Abstract: Aims: The middle-out perspective (MOP) provides a lens to examine how actors positioned between government (top) and individuals (bottom) act to promote broader societal changes from the middle-out (rather than the top-down or bottom-up). The MOP has been used in recent years in the fields of energy, climate change, and development studies. We argue that public health practitioners involved with advocacy activities and creating alliances to amplify health promotion actions will be familiar with the general MOP concept if not the formal name. The article aims to demonstrate this argument. Methods: This article introduces the MOP conceptual framework and customises it for a public health audience by positioning it among existing concepts and theories for actions within public health. Using two UK case studies (increasing signalised crossing times for pedestrians and the campaign for smoke-free legislation), we illustrate who middle actors are and what they can do to result in better public health outcomes. Results: These case studies show that involving a wider range of middle actors, including those not traditionally involved in improving the public’s health, can broaden the range and reach of organisations and individuals involving in advocating for public health measures. They also demonstrate that middle actors are not neutral. They can be recruited to improve public health outcomes, but they may also be exploited by commercial interests to block healthy policies or even promote a health-diminishing agenda. Conclusion: Using the MOP as a formal approach can help public health organisations and practitioners consider potential ‘allies’ from outside traditional health-related bodies or professions. Formal mapping can expand the range of who are considered potential middle actors for a particular public health issue. By applying the MOP, public health organisations and staff can enlist the additional leverage that is brought to bear by involving additional middle actors in improving the public’s health.

Abstract: A flavour-tagged time-dependent angular analysis of $${{B} ^0_{s}} \!\rightarrow {{J /\psi }} \phi $$ B s 0 → J / ψ ϕ decays is presented where the $${J /\psi }$$ J / ψ meson is reconstructed through its decay to an $$e ^+e ^-$$ e + e - pair. The analysis uses a sample of pp collision data recorded with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and $$8\text {\,Te V} $$ 8 \,Te V , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $$3 \text {\,fb} ^{-1} $$ 3 \,fb - 1 . The $$C\!P$$ C P -violating phase and lifetime parameters of the $${B} ^0_{s} $$ B s 0 system are measured to be $${\phi _{{s}}} =0.00\pm 0.28\pm 0.07\text {\,rad}$$ ϕ s = 0.00 ± 0.28 ± 0.07 \,rad , $${\Delta \Gamma _{{s}}} =0.115\pm 0.045\pm 0.011\text {\,ps} ^{-1} $$ Δ Γ s = 0.115 ± 0.045 ± 0.011 \,ps - 1 and $${\Gamma _{{s}}} =0.608\pm 0.018\pm 0.012\text {\,ps} ^{-1} $$ Γ s = 0.608 ± 0.018 ± 0.012 \,ps - 1 where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This is the first time that $$C\!P$$ C P -violating parameters are measured in the $${{B} ^0_{s}} \!\rightarrow {{J /\psi }} \phi $$ B s 0 → J / ψ ϕ decay with an $$e ^+e ^-$$ e + e - pair in the final state. The results are consistent with previous measurements in other channels and with the Standard Model predictions.

Abstract: An angular analysis of the rare decay B s 0 $$ {B}_s^0 $$ → ϕμ + μ − is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.4 fb −1. The observables describing the angular distributions of the decay B s 0 $$ {B}_s^0 $$ → ϕμ + μ − are determined in regions of q 2, the square of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are consistent with Standard Model predictions.

Abstract: The ratio of the mass of interstellar dust to the total mass of metals (the dust-to-metals/DTM ratio) tends to increase with metallicity. This can be explained by the increasing efficiency of grain growth in the interstellar medium (ISM) at higher metallicities, with a corollary being that the low DTM ratios seen at low metallicities are due to inefficient stellar dust production. This interpretation assumes that the efficiency of dust destruction in the ISM is constant, whereas it might be expected to increase at low metallicity; the decreased cooling efficiency of low-metallicity gas should result in more post-shock dust destruction via thermal sputtering. We show that incorporating a sufficiently strong metallicity dependence into models of galaxy evolution removes the need for low stellar dust yields. The contribution of stellar sources to the overall dust budget may be significantly underestimated, and that of grain growth overestimated, by models assuming a constant destruction efficiency., Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures.

Abstract: This article presents differential measurements of the asymmetry between Λ b 0 $$ {\varLambda}_b^0 $$ and Λ ¯ b 0 $$ {\overline{\varLambda}}_b^0 $$ baryon production rates in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 7 and 8 TeV collected with the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb −1. The Λ b 0 $$ {\varLambda}_b^0 $$ baryons are reconstructed through the inclusive semileptonic decay Λ b 0 $$ {\varLambda}_b^0 $$ → Λ c + $$ {\varLambda}_c^{+} $$ μ − ν ¯ $$ \overline{\nu} $$ μ X. The production asymmetry is measured both in intervals of rapidity in the range 2.15 < y < 4.10 and transverse momentum in 2 < p T < 27 GeV/c. The results are found to be incompatible with symmetric production with a significance of 5.8 standard deviations for both s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 7 and 8 TeV data, assuming no CP violation in the decay. There is evidence for a trend as a function of rapidity with a significance of 4 standard deviations. Comparisons to predictions from hadronisation models in Pythia and heavy-quark recombination are provided. This result constitutes the first observation of a particle-antiparticle asymmetry in b-hadron production at LHC energies.

Abstract: To evaluate whether the studies contributing to the national treatment guidelines on pelvic organ prolapse adequately represent the racial and/or ethnic makeup of the American population. This analysis examines the racial and ethnic makeup of all primary study cohorts contributing to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists/American Urogynecologic Society Practice Bulletin No. 214 on pelvic organ prolapse. References were excluded if they lacked a primary patient population or were from outside the US. Mean proportional representation of racial/ethnic groups was compared to the 2018 United States Census data on race/ethnicity. The representation quotient was also calculated to evaluate for relative representation of each group. Descriptive statistics were used. Of the 110 references, 53 primary studies were included in the final analysis with 30 studies reporting on race/ethnicity. On average, 82% (SD = 15%) of study populations were White, while Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians represented 67% (SD = 7%), 4% (SD = 8%), and

34. A Comparison of the Attributes of Pine Straw from Southern Pine Species

Subjects: Agronomy, Environmental science, Horticulture, Environmental Science (miscellaneous), Straw
Abstract: Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.), and slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) are two southern pine species that are popular for producing pine straw for landscaping. The objective of this research was to determine the response of soil properties and weed growth to the application of pine straw. Longleaf pine, slash pine, and two non-mulched controls (with and without chemical weed control) were tested. Volumetric soil water content, soil nutrients, soil temperature, weed biomass, and seedling growth were measured. Compared to non-mulched controls, both longleaf and slash pine plots had a greater soil moisture during extended periods without rainfall in the full sun environment. When soil temperatures increased, mulched plots had lower soil temperature relative to non-mulched plots. Soil pH and soil nutrients were generally similar between pine straw types with few significant differences in measured variables. Both pine straw treatments reduced weed growth and longleaf pine maintained a greater straw depth over the study period compared to slash pine, but no differences were observed for decomposition. These results indicate that longleaf pine straw and slash pine straw perform equally as well in terms of increasing soil moisture, moderating soil temperature, and reducing weed growth compared to not using mulch.Index words: Pinus elliottii, Pinus palustris, organic mulch, soil properties, landscaping.Species used in this study: Shumard oak, Quercus shumardii Buckl., Eastern redbud, Cercis canadensis L.

Abstract: Liquid lipid nanoparticles (LLN) are oil-in-water nanoemulsions of great interest in the delivery of hydrophobic drug molecules. They consist of a surfactant shell and a liquid lipid core. The small size of LLNs makes them difficult to study, yet a detailed understanding of their internal structure is vital in developing stable drug delivery vehicles (DDVs). Here, we implement machine learning techniques alongside small angle neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to provide critical insight into the conformations and distributions of the lipid and surfactant throughout the LLN. We simulate the assembly of a single LLN composed of the lipid, triolein (GTO), and the surfactant, Brij O10. Our work shows that the addition of surfactant is pivotal in the formation of a disordered lipid core; the even coverage of Brij O10 across the LLN shields the GTO from water and so the lipids adopt conformations that reduce crystallisation. We demonstrate the superior ability of unsupervised artificial neural networks in characterising the internal structure of DDVs, when compared to more conventional geometric methods. We have identified, clustered, classified and averaged the dominant conformations of lipid and surfactant molecules within the LLN, providing a multi-scale picture of the internal structure of LLNs.

Abstract: The interactions of lipid molecules with various solvent molecules is of utmost importance in the formulation of various drug delivery and personal care formulations. In this manuscript, a series of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate how the structural and interfacial properties of a DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) monolayer change when interacting with a range of diols that have varying carbon chain lengths and patterns of hydroxylation. In comparison to water, we find that all of the diols studied result in a more disordered and thinner monolayer. Additionally, we find that the shorter diols with the hydroxyl groups on neighbouring carbons (1,2-ethanediol and 1,2-propanediol) are able to penetrate deeper into the head group region of the lipid monolayers and as a result significantly disorder and thin the monolayers. Like water, we find that the diols also form hydrogen-bonded networks that connect the DMPC head groups in neighbouring molecules. Interestingly, we find that the number of butanediol molecules that form these solvent-mediated interactions between the DMPC head groups is directly affected by the distribution of the hydroxyl groups within the diol molecules. The results presented here provide a mechanistic description of how the chemistry of diol solvent molecules will affect the structural and interfacial properties of lipid structures in solution.

Abstract: Dust grains form in the clumpy ejecta of core-collapse supernovae where they are subject to the reverse shock, which is able to disrupt the clumps and destroy the grains. Important dust destruction processes include thermal and kinetic sputtering as well as fragmentation and grain vaporization. In the present study, we focus on the effect of magnetic fields on the destruction processes. We have performed magneto-hydrodynamical simulations using AstroBEAR to model a shock wave interacting with an ejecta clump. The dust transport and destruction fractions are computed using our post-processing code Paperboats in which the acceleration of grains due to the magnetic field and a procedure that allows partial grain vaporization have been newly implemented. For the oxygen-rich supernova remnant Cassiopeia A we found a significantly lower dust survival rate when magnetic fields are aligned perpendicular to the shock direction compared to the non-magnetic case. For a parallel field alignment, the destruction is also enhanced but at a lower level. The survival fractions depend sensitively on the gas density contrast between the clump and the ambient medium and on the grain sizes. For a low-density contrast of $100$, e.g., $5\,$nm silicate grains are completely destroyed while the survival fraction of $1\,\mu$m grains is $86\,$per cent. For a high-density contrast of $1000$, $95\,$per cent of the $5\,$nm grains survive while the survival fraction of $1\,\mu$m grains is $26\,$per cent. Alternative clump sizes or dust materials (carbon) have non-negligible effects on the survival rate but have a lower impact compared to density contrast, magnetic field strength, and grain size., Comment: Accepted by MNRAS.

Abstract: Modelling the red-blue asymmetries seen in the broad emission lines of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is a powerful technique to quantify total dust mass formed in the ejecta at late times ($>5$ years after outburst) when ejecta dust temperatures become too low to be detected by mid-IR instruments. Following our success in using the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code DAMOCLES to measure the dust mass evolution in SN~1987A and other CCSNe, we present the most comprehensive sample of dust mass measurements yet made with DAMOCLES, for CCSNe aged between four and sixty years after outburst. Our sample comprises of multi-epoch late-time optical spectra taken with the Gemini GMOS and VLT X-Shooter spectrographs, supplemented by archival spectra. For the fourteen CCSNe that we have modelled, we confirm a dust mass growth with time that can be fit by a sigmoid curve which is found to saturate beyond an age of $\sim30$ years, at a mass of 0.23$^{+0.17}_{-0.12}$ M$_\odot$. An expanded sample including dust masses found in the literature for a further eleven CCSNe and six CCSN remnants, the dust mass at saturation is found to be 0.42$^{+0.09}_{-0.05}$~M$_\odot$. Uncertainty limits for our dust masses were determined from a Bayesian analysis using the affine invariant Markov Chain Monte Carlo ensemble sampler emcee with DAMOCLES. The best-fitting line profile models for our sample all required grain radii between 0.1 and 0.5 $μ$m. Our results are consistent with CCSNe forming enough dust in their ejecta to significantly contribute to the dust budget of the Universe., Accepted by MNRAS, 32 pages plus Appendices.

Abstract: A structure is observed in the $${B} ^{\pm }{K} ^{\mp }$$ B ± K ∓ mass spectrum in a sample of proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 9 $$\,\text {fb} ^{-1}$$ fb - 1 . The structure is interpreted as the result of overlapping excited $${B} ^0_{s} $$ B s 0 states. With high significance, a two-peak hypothesis provides a better description of the data than a single resonance. Under this hypothesis the masses and widths of the two states, assuming they decay directly to $${B} ^{\pm }{K} ^{\mp }$$ B ± K ∓ , are determined to be $$\begin{aligned} m_1&= 6063.5 \pm 1.2 \text { (stat)} \pm 0.8\text { (syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V}, \\ \Gamma _1&= 26 \pm 4 \text { (stat)} \pm 4\text { (syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V}, \\ m_2&= 6114 \pm 3 \text { (stat)} \pm 5\text { (syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V}, \\ \Gamma _2&= 66 \pm 18 \text { (stat)} \pm 21\text { (syst)}\,\text {Me}\text {V}. \end{aligned}$$ m 1 = 6063.5 ± 1.2 (stat) ± 0.8 (syst) Me , Γ 1 = 26 ± 4 (stat) ± 4 (syst) Me , m 2 = 6114 ± 3 (stat) ± 5 (syst) Me , Γ 2 = 66 ± 18 (stat) ± 21 (syst) Me . Alternative values assuming a decay through $${B} ^{*\pm }{K} ^{\mp }$$ B ∗ ± K ∓ , with a missing photon from the $$B^{*\pm } \rightarrow B^{\pm }\gamma $$ B ∗ ± → B ± γ decay, which are shifted by approximately 45 $$\,\text {Me}$$ Me V, are also determined. The possibility of a single state decaying in both channels is also considered. The ratio of the total production cross-section times branching fraction of the new states relative to the previously observed $$B_{s2}^{*0}$$ B s 2 ∗ 0 state is determined to be $$0.87 \pm 0.15 \text { (stat)} \pm 0.19 \text { (syst)}$$ 0.87 ± 0.15 (stat) ± 0.19 (syst) .

Abstract: Patients with heritable aortic disease (HAD) have an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Although mitral valve prolapse is common in HAD, mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) has only recently been described in these patients. This under-recognized condition may be a contributing factor to otherwise unexplained ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in patients with HAD. This case series describes 3 patients in an adult HAD clinic who have concomitant mitral valve prolapse, MAD, and malignant arrhythmias. These cases may represent a unique disease entity or overlap syndrome, and they introduce MAD as a potential arrhythmogenic risk marker in HAD.

Abstract: The first full angular analysis of the B 0 → D ∗ − D s ∗ + $$ {B}^0\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{\ast +} $$ decay is performed using 6 fb −1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The D s ∗ + → D s + γ $$ {D}_s^{\ast +}\to {D}_s^{+}\gamma $$ and D *− → D ¯ 0 π − $$ {\overline{D}}^0{\pi}^{-} $$ vector meson decays are used with the subsequent D s + $$ {D}_s^{+} $$ → K + K − π + and D ¯ 0 $$ {\overline{D}}^0 $$ → K + π − decays. All helicity amplitudes and phases are measured, and the longitudinal polarisation fraction is determined to be f L = 0.578 ± 0.010 ± 0.011 with world-best precision, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The pattern of helicity amplitude magnitudes is found to align with expectations from quark-helicity conservation in B decays. The ratio of branching fractions [ℬ( B 0 → D ∗ − D s ∗ + $$ {B}^0\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{\ast +} $$ ) × ℬ( D s ∗ + → D s + γ $$ {D}_s^{\ast +}\to {D}_s^{+}\gamma $$ )]/ℬ(B 0 → D *− D s + $$ {D}_s^{+} $$ ) is measured to be 2.045 ± 0.022 ± 0.071 with world-best precision. In addition, the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed B s → D *− D s + $$ {D}_s^{+} $$ decay is made with a significance of seven standard deviations. The branching fraction ratio ℬ(B s → D *− D s + $$ {D}_s^{+} $$ )/ℬ(B 0 → D *− D s + $$ {D}_s^{+} $$ ) is measured to be 0.049 ± 0.006 ± 0.003 ± 0.002, where the third uncertainty is due to limited knowledge of the ratio of fragmentation fractions.

Abstract: Searches for CP violation in the two-body decays D s + → h + π 0 $$ {D}_{(s)}^{+}\to {h}^{+}{\pi}^0 $$ and D s + → h + η $$ {D}_{(s)}^{+}\to {h}^{+}\eta $$ (where h + denotes a π + or K + meson) are performed using pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to either 9 fb −1 or 6 fb −1 of integrated luminosity. The π 0 and η mesons are reconstructed using the e + e − γ final state, which can proceed as three-body decays π 0 → e + e − γ and η → e + e − γ, or via the two-body decays π 0 → γγ and η → γγ followed by a photon conversion. The measurements are made relative to the control modes D s + → K S 0 h + $$ {D}_{(s)}^{+}\to {K}_{\mathrm{S}}^0{h}^{+} $$ to cancel the production and detection asymmetries. The CP asymmetries are measured to be A CP D + → π + π 0 = − 1.3 ± 0.9 ± 0.6 % , A CP D + → K + π 0 = − 3.2 ± 4.7 ± 2.1 % , A CP D + → π + η = − 0.2 ± 0.8 ± 0.4 % , A CP D + → K + η = − 6 ± 10 ± 4 % , A CP D s + → K + π 0 = − 0.8 ± 3.9 ± 1.2 % , A CP D s + → π + η = 0.8 ± 0.7 ± 0.5 % , A CP D s + → K + η = 0.9 ± 3.7 ± 1.1 % , $$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}^{+}\to {\pi}^{+}{\pi}^0\right)=\left(-1.3\pm 0.9\pm 0.6\right)\%,\\ {}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}^{+}\to {K}^{+}{\pi}^0\right)=\left(-3.2\pm 4.7\pm 2.1\right)\%,\\ {}\begin{array}{c}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}^{+}\to {\pi}^{+}\eta \right)=\left(-0.2\pm 0.8\pm 0.4\right)\%,\\ {}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}^{+}\to {K}^{+}\eta \right)=\left(-6\pm 10\pm 4\right)\%,\\ {}\begin{array}{c}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}_s^{+}\to {K}^{+}{\pi}^0\right)=\left(-0.8\pm 3.9\pm 1.2\right)\%,\\ {}\begin{array}{c}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}_s^{+}\to {\pi}^{+}\eta \right)=\left(0.8\pm 0.7\pm 0.5\right)\%,\\ {}{\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({D}_s^{+}\to {K}^{+}\eta \right)=\left(0.9\pm 3.7\pm 1.1\right)\%,\end{array}\end{array}\end{array}\end{array}} $$ where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. These results are consistent with no CP violation and mostly constitute the most precise measurements of A CP $$ {\mathcal{A}}_{CP} $$ in these decay modes to date.

Abstract: We thank SMRU Consulting and the University of St. Andrews for supporting C.B. and L.T.’s time, respectively. In 2018, it was estimated that fewer than 20 of Mexico’s endemic vaquita porpoise Phocoena sinus remained, and the species was declining by 47% yr-1. Entanglement in gillnets is the sole threat to the species, and since the last population size estimate, gillnetting has increased in the small area where most vaquitas remain—a 12 × 24 km area in the Gulf of California near San Felipe, Mexico. We conducted research efforts in 2019 and 2021 in that area to estimate the minimum numbers of adults and calves and look for any signs that vaquitas are unhealthy. Through expert elicitation, we estimated between 7 and 15 unique individuals were seen in 2019 and 5-13 were seen in 2021. Calves were seen in both years, and all vaquitas appeared healthy. Population projections from the last full survey indicated that more vaquitas have survived than expected. We suggest that these surviving adult vaquitas may have learned to avoid entanglement in gillnets. These vaquitas and their calves provide hope that the species can survive. However, given the high levels of illegal gillnetting and the theft of equipment which hindered our monitoring efforts, and with only around 10 individuals remaining, survival can only be assured if vaquita habitat is made gillnet-free.
