Project description:The article contains prospective data on all two-sex marriages formed in Norway between 1886 and 2018, with annual follow-up for 60 years, totaling 133 cohorts and 2 698 632 marriages. The data list the number of marriages that ended in divorce throughout each year of follow-up. The data were obtained through a special order from Statistics Norway. The data from 1981 to 2018 contain additional information about male and female ages, the number of divorces from each cohort in the total population of marriages, as well as divorces among marriages formed in urban and rural areas of the country under four marriage and remarriage constellations: first time for both spouses, first time for one and second time for the other, second time for both, and third time or more for at least one in the couple. Marriages formed within a calendar year are pooled into cohorts, and each pair was examined annually to ensure that the same two persons remained married.

Project description:Divorce rates have been increasing around the world, and the Middle East is not immune to this reality. This pilot study investigates the phenomenological experiences of divorce for 20 Egyptian females. The study is qualitative, using in-depth interviews asking 14 questions that address different aspects of struggling marriages and post-divorce life. Five main themes were derived using a conventional approach to content analysis. The themes are: Expectations before marriage, secret life, relational dynamics, mental health, and resilience. Several sub-themes were identified in each category. The themes and subthemes are discussed. What was surprising was that many women experienced a greater sense of resilience and level of empowerment as a result of their post-divorce process. Recommendations for future research are discussed, including a replication of the study with a more stratified sample group and inclusion of men prior to developing any interventions.

Project description:The thalamus is organized into nuclei that have distinct input and output connectivities with the cortex. While first-order (FO) nuclei – also called core nuclei – relay input from sensory organs on the body surface and project to primary sensory areas, higher-order (HO) nuclei – matrix nuclei – instead receive their driver input from the cortex and project to secondary and associative areas within cortico-thalamo-cortical loops. Input-dependent processes have been shown to play a critical role in the emergence of FO thalamic neuron identity from a ground state HO neuron identity, yet how this identity emerges during development remains unknown. Here, using single-nucleus RNA sequencing of the developing embryonic thalamus we show that FO thalamic identity emerges after HO identity, and that peripheral input is critical for the maturation of excitatory, but not inhibitory FO-type neurons. Our findings reveal that subsets of HO neurons are developmentally co-opted into FO-type neurons, providing a mechanistic framework for the diversification of thalamic neuron types during development and evolution.

Project description:The ability of subjects to identify and reproduce brief temporal intervals is influenced by many factors whether they be stimulus-based, task-based or subject-based. The current study examines the role individual differences play in subsecond and suprasecond timing judgments, using the schizoptypy personality scale as a test-case approach for quantifying a broad range of individual differences. In two experiments, 129 (Experiment 1) and 141 (Experiment 2) subjects completed the O-LIFE personality questionnaire prior to performing a modified temporal-bisection task. In the bisection task, subjects responded to two identical instantiations of a luminance grating presented in a 4deg window, 4deg above fixation for 1.5 s (Experiment 1) or 3 s (Experiment 2). Subjects initiated presentation with a button-press, and released the button when they considered the stimulus to be half-way through (750/1500 ms). Subjects were then asked to indicate their 'most accurate estimate' of the two intervals. In this way we measure both performance on the task (a first-order measure) and the subjects' knowledge of their performance (a second-order measure). In Experiment 1 the effect of grating-drift and feedback on performance was also examined. Experiment 2 focused on the static/no-feedback condition. For the group data, Experiment 1 showed a significant effect of presentation order in the baseline condition (no feedback), which disappeared when feedback was provided. Moving the stimulus had no effect on perceived duration. Experiment 2 showed no effect of stimulus presentation order. This elimination of the subsecond order-effect was at the expense of accuracy, as the mid-point of the suprasecond interval was generally underestimated. Response precision increased as a proportion of total duration, reducing the variance below that predicted by Weber's law. This result is consistent with a breakdown of the scalar properties of time perception in the early suprasecond range. All subjects showed good insight into their own performance, though that insight did not necessarily correlate with the veridical bisection point. In terms of personality, we found evidence of significant differences in performance along the Unusual Experiences subscale, of most theoretical interest here, in the subsecond condition only. There was also significant correlation with Impulsive Nonconformity and Cognitive Disorganisation in the sub- and suprasecond conditions, respectively. Overall, these data support a partial dissociation of timing mechanisms at very short and slightly longer intervals. Further, these results suggest that perception is not the only critical mitigator of confidence in temporal experience, since individuals can effectively compensate for differences in perception at the level of metacognition in early suprasecond time. Though there are individual differences in performance, these are perhaps less than expected from previous reports and indicate an effective timing mechanism dealing with brief durations independent of the influence of significant personality trait differences.

Project description:While neural networks can provide high predictive performance, it was a challenge to identify the salient features and important feature interactions used for their predictions. This represented a key hurdle for deploying neural networks in many biomedical applications that require interpretability, including predictive genomics. In this paper, linearizing neural network architecture (LINA) was developed here to provide both the first-order and the second-order interpretations on both the instance-wise and the model-wise levels. LINA combines the representational capacity of a deep inner attention neural network with a linearized intermediate representation for model interpretation. In comparison with DeepLIFT, LIME, Grad*Input and L2X, the first-order interpretation of LINA had better Spearman correlation with the ground-truth importance rankings of features in synthetic datasets. In comparison with NID and GEH, the second-order interpretation results from LINA achieved better precision for identification of the ground-truth feature interactions in synthetic datasets. These algorithms were further benchmarked using predictive genomics as a real-world application. LINA identified larger numbers of important single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and salient SNP interactions than the other algorithms at given false discovery rates. The results showed accurate and versatile model interpretation using LINA.

Project description:In the classical framework, the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations are obtained through the linear uncoupled thermodynamic force-flux relations which guarantee the non-negativity of the entropy production. However, the conventional thermodynamic descrip- tion is only valid when the Knudsen number is sufficiently small. Here, it is shown that the range of validity of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations can be extended by incorporating the nonlinear coupling among the thermodynamic forces and fluxes. The resulting system of conservation laws closed with the coupled constitutive relations is able to describe many interesting rarefaction effects, such as Knudsen paradox, transpiration flows, thermal stress, heat flux without temperature gradients, etc., which cannot be predicted by the classical Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations. For this system of equations, a set of phenomenological boundary conditions, which respect the second law of thermodynamics, is also derived. Some of the benchmark problems in fluid mechanics are studied to show the applicability of the derived equations and boundary conditions.

Project description:Integrated rate equations are presented that describe irreversible enzyme-catalysed first-order and second-order reactions. The equations are independent of the detailed mechanism of the reaction, requiring only that it be hyperbolic and unbranched. The results should be directly applicable in the laboratory.

Project description:This paper deals with the frequency and structure of first-cousin marriages, by far the most important and frequent type of consanguineous mating in human populations. Based on the analysis of large amounts of data from the world literature and from large Brazilian samples recently collected, we suggest some explanations for the asymmetry of sexes among the parental sibs of first-cousin marriages. We suggest also a simple manner to correct the method that uses population surnames to assess the different Wright fixation indexes FIS, FST and FIT taking into account not only alternative methods of surname transmission, but also the asymmetries that are almost always observed in the distribution of sexes among the parental sibs of first-cousins.

Project description:Skyrmions and antiskyrmions are topologically protected spin structures with opposite vorticities. Particularly in coexisting phases, these two types of magnetic quasi-particles may show fascinating physics and potential for spintronic devices. While skyrmions are observed in a wide range of materials, until now antiskyrmions were exclusive to materials with D2d symmetry. In this work, we show first and second-order antiskyrmions stabilized by magnetic dipole-dipole interaction in Fe/Gd-based multilayers. We modify the magnetic properties of the multilayers by Ir insertion layers. Using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy imaging, we observe coexisting antiskyrmions, Bloch skyrmions, and type-2 bubbles and determine the range of material properties and magnetic fields where the different spin objects form and dissipate. We perform micromagnetic simulations to obtain more insight into the studied system and conclude that the reduction of saturation magnetization and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy leads to the existence of this zoo of different spin objects and that they are primarily stabilized by dipolar interaction.
