<urn:uuid:83fc7cc2-8e04-4677-a0b7-03edfdb53ad4> | Welcome, folks—tech enthusiasts, bloggers, scholars, or anyone with a keen interest in making headway into the territory of CCNP 350-401 ENCOR exam topics. I'm here to break down an essential yet undoubtedly complex topic—FIB vs RIB—in layman's terms, for those of us who don't speak fluent techno-jargon. Let's buckle up and plunge right into this vast sea of knowledge.
An Introduction to the Players: FIB and RIB
Before we start throwing our bets on the table, we must first get to know our players. You can't tell your ducks from your geese without a guide, now can you? So, let's shed light on the central figures of this narrative—FIB (Forwarding Information Base) and RIB (Routing Information Base).
The RIB, or Routing Information Base, is like the mastermind of network routing. It stores all the gathered routing information, including details about the best ways to reach certain networks and any backup plans, just in case the going gets tough.
On the other hand, FIB, the Forwarding Information Base, is the diligent worker bee of the scheme, using the wisdom of the RIB to forward packets to their destination.
Cracking the Code: Difference between FIB and RIB
Now that we've introduced our stars, let's logically move on to understand how their operations differ, shall we? We're at the point now where theory gets put into practice. Simply put, the difference between FIB and RIB revolves around theory and practice—or the strategists and the foot soldiers, if you prefer a battle analogy.
The Routing Information Base or RIB is like the wise oracle, which stores all required, verified, and organized routing information. It's the master plan, the blueprint, chalked out positioning, strategy and possible tactics, but does not partake in the actual battle.
Meanwhile, the Forwarding Information Base, or FIB, is the silent executor of the strategies formed by RIB. Acting like a faithful servant, it uses the information furnished by the RIB to maneuver the data packets to their specified destination.
The CCNP 350-401 ENCOR Exam and FIB vs RIB
You're probably thinking, "This all sounds fascinating, but how do I apply this knowledge in the context of the CCNP 350-401 ENCOR exam?" Well, good question! Understanding the functions and interrelation of FIB and RIB is crucial to mastering the concepts of networking protocols and routing for this exam.
Grasping the intricate operations of these databases, their roles in routers and switches, and how they shape the process of routing is paramount to acing the CCNP 350-401 ENCOR. This understanding will not only boost your theoretical knowledge, but also give you a practical edge when dealing with real-world networking scenarios.
Tying up Loose Ends
To bring it all home, remember that the RIB and FIB, while vastly different, are two sides of the same coin, working in harmony to ensure seamless data packet routing. They're like the brains and brawn of the operation—having one without the other would be like trying to sail without a compass or row without oars. You need both to navigate the rough waters of routing protocols and procedures.
That's it, folks! You've braved the storm and emerged on the other side with a better understanding of FIB vs RIB and their role in the CCNP 350-401 ENCOR exam. So next time you find yourself lost in a sea of networking debates, remember, you've got the lingo down pat! Until next time, happy studying! | {

A study looking at the longer-term impact of COVID-19 has found that nearly a third of patients displayed abnormalities in multiple organs five months after infection, some of which have been shown through previous work to be evidence of tissue damage.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of patients on the trial showed a higher burden of abnormal findings involving the lungs, brain and kidneys compared to controls. Lung abnormalities were significantly higher (almost 14-fold higher) among patients discharged from hospital for COVID-19 than in the control group, while abnormal findings involving the brain and kidneys were three and two times higher respectively.
The extent of abnormalities on MRI was often influenced by the severity of the COVID-19 infection the patients had experienced and their age, as well as co-morbidities.
The findings, published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, are part of the C-MORE (Capturing the MultiORgan Effects of COVID-19) study. C-MORE, a multi-centre MRI follow-up study of 500 post-hospitalised COVID-19 patients, is a key element of the national PHOSP-COVID platform, led by the University of Leicester, which is investigating the long-term effects of COVID-19 on hospitalised patients. This paper presents the results of an interim analysis of 259 post-hospitalised COVID-19 patients and 52 controls.
The C-MORE study is being led by researchers from the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Department of Medicine and is supported by the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and the NIHR Oxford Health BRC, as well as the BHF Oxford Centre for Research Excellence and Wellcome Trust.
The participants, who were recruited across 13 sites in the UK, underwent MRI scans covering the heart, brain, lungs, liver and kidneys an average of five months after discharge from hospital. They also had blood tests and completed questionnaires.
Dr Betty Raman, who is leading the C-MORE study, said: “We found that nearly one in three patients had an excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities on MRI relative to controls. At five months after hospital discharge for COVID-19, patients showed a high burden of abnormalities involving the lungs, brain and kidneys compared to our non-COVID-19 controls. The age of the individual, severity of acute COVID-19 infection, as well as co-morbidities, were significant factors in determining who had organ injury at follow-up.”
The study found that while some organ-specific symptoms correlated with the imaging evidence of organ injury – for example, chest tightness and cough with lung MRI abnormalities - not all symptoms could be directly linked to MRI-detected anomalies.
The levels of damage to the heart and liver in the former hospitalised COVID-19 patients were similar to those in the control group.
The paper also confirmed that multi-organ MRI abnormalities were more common among post-hospitalised patients who reported severely impaired physical and mental health after COVID-19, as previously described by the PHOSP-COVID study investigators.
“What we are seeing is that people with multiorgan pathology on MRI – that is, they had more than two organs affected - were four times more likely to report severe and very severe mental and physical impairment. Our findings also highlight the need for longer term multidisciplinary follow-up services focused on pulmonary and extrapulmonary health (kidneys, brain and mental health), particularly for those hospitalised for COVID-19,” Dr Raman said.
She added: “These findings are the result of extensive collaborative efforts by investigators across the UK. We are incredibly grateful to patients and the public who have participated in this study.”
Professor Chris Brightling of the NIHR Leicester BRC, who is leading the PHOSP-COVID study said: “This detailed study of whole-body imaging confirms that changes in multiple organs is seen months after being hospitalised for COVID-19. The PHOSP-COVID study is working on understanding why this happens and how we can develop tests and new treatments for long COVID”.

<urn:uuid:42a408bc-f655-4229-b2c2-19592a7cbe35> | Organize your strength and weaknesses, by exploiting your strength by working in a comfortable atmosphere. Preparing yourself mentally is the best way to memorize things. Some like remembering in crowded places while others like learning in quiet areas. Our entire ability to recall information of what we read depends between the strength of the neurons in our head.
To memorize faster it is better to use a variety of styles such as hearing, visual and experiential learning. If you are not comfortable using various styles together then it is better to focus on your strengths and learn to memorize quickly.
1.Prepare: Preparing yourself mentally is the first step to realize and understand how to memorize things. Information that is organized, makes sense and easier to understand are easier to memorize. If you don’t understand something, try to simplify it before trying to learn
2.Link it: Join the information you are trying to memorize to something you already know. New information which is not connected is more difficult to learn than information that is connected. Eg: If the number to learn is 56 and your friend’s weight is 56, so linking up both of them and remembering it that way is the way forward.Self – Quiz: Ask questions to yourself by quizzing yourself. Do not simply reread notes or a textbook. While learning you feel you understood it just by reading, but try learning by not looking at your notes. This will enable you to understand the different areas you are struggling with. Avoid asking yourself the same question immediately. Wait for some time as this will enable it to settle down in your memory.
3.Write it Out: You memorize faster if you write it out as it helps us to deeply encode information that we are trying to learn as there is a direct connection between our hand and brain. Try writing your notes by hand or reorganize your notes by hand after a lecture. It will help you memorize better. Try to visualize and say the concept aloud.
4.Create Meaningful Groups: A helpful strategy for memorizing is to create meaningful names or groups of things you want to remember. Example, if you want to remember colours, red, orange. Remember the word Rose. If you picture a rose then it will be easier to recall.
5.Record What you are Memorizing: Use a recorder or a mobile phone to memorize something fast and quick. Use it to keep a track of all the information you want to keep a track of and then listen to them. If it’s a foreign language, make notecards of the new words you are trying to learn.
6.Practice Interleaving: Interleaving is the process of mixing or alternating concepts that you want to learn. Example, spend some time trying to learn English concepts, followed by history dates then maths numbers then come back to English words again. This way it will show better results in the end than just spending large amount of time on the same concept.
Some of these techniques will take time to register and understand. Choose the best method of memorization accordingly and pick the one best suited for you. | {

<urn:uuid:07d9e88c-c9ec-4c99-b58a-ae11efa445ed> | Mindfulness is a practice that has gained significant popularity in recent years, particularly in the field of conflict management. In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, conflicts are inevitable, whether they occur in personal relationships, workplaces, or even on a global scale. The role of mindfulness in conflict management has been recognized as a powerful tool for promoting understanding, empathy, and effective communication. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can develop the ability to respond to conflicts with clarity, compassion, and wisdom. This comprehensive guide explores the various ways in which mindfulness can be applied to modern conflict management, providing valuable insights and practical strategies for navigating conflicts in a mindful and constructive manner.
The Concept of Mindfulness
Before delving into the role of mindfulness in conflict management, it is essential to understand the concept of mindfulness itself. Mindfulness is the practice of intentionally paying attention to the present moment, without judgment. It involves bringing one’s awareness to the sensations, thoughts, and emotions that arise in the present moment, with an attitude of curiosity and acceptance. Mindfulness is rooted in ancient Buddhist traditions but has been adapted and secularized for modern contexts. It is often cultivated through meditation practices, such as focused breathing or body scans, but can also be integrated into daily activities and interactions.
Mindfulness has been extensively studied and has been found to have numerous benefits for mental and physical well-being. It has been shown to reduce stress, improve focus and attention, enhance emotional regulation, and promote overall psychological resilience. These qualities make mindfulness a valuable tool for conflict management, as conflicts often trigger stress, emotional reactivity, and impaired communication.
The Role of Mindfulness in Conflict Awareness
One of the fundamental aspects of conflict management is developing awareness of the conflicts that arise within oneself and in interpersonal relationships. Mindfulness plays a crucial role in cultivating this awareness by helping individuals become attuned to their thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can develop a heightened sense of self-awareness, enabling them to recognize the early signs of conflict and potential triggers.
For example, imagine a workplace scenario where two colleagues are engaged in a heated argument. Without mindfulness, they may become caught up in their anger, frustration, and the desire to prove themselves right. However, by cultivating mindfulness, they can become aware of their emotional reactions and the impact these reactions have on their behavior and communication. This awareness allows them to pause, take a step back, and respond to the conflict in a more constructive and mindful manner.
Mindfulness also helps individuals become aware of the underlying causes and patterns of conflicts. By observing their thoughts and emotions without judgment, individuals can gain insights into their own biases, assumptions, and conditioned responses that contribute to conflicts. This self-awareness enables individuals to take responsibility for their role in conflicts and make conscious choices to break free from unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness for Emotional Regulation in Conflict
Emotional regulation is a critical skill in conflict management, as conflicts often evoke strong emotions that can cloud judgment and hinder effective communication. Mindfulness provides individuals with the tools to regulate their emotions and respond to conflicts with greater emotional intelligence.
Through mindfulness practices, individuals learn to observe their emotions without immediately reacting to them. They develop the ability to acknowledge and accept their emotions, even if they are uncomfortable or challenging. This non-judgmental stance towards emotions allows individuals to create space between the emotion and their response, preventing impulsive reactions that may escalate conflicts.
For instance, imagine a couple engaged in a disagreement. Without mindfulness, they may get caught up in their anger or frustration, leading to a cycle of escalating conflict. However, by practicing mindfulness, they can observe their emotions as they arise, without immediately reacting to them. This observation allows them to respond to the conflict with greater clarity and compassion, reducing the likelihood of further escalation.
Mindfulness also helps individuals develop empathy and compassion towards themselves and others, which are essential qualities for effective conflict management. By cultivating self-compassion, individuals can approach conflicts with kindness and understanding, reducing the tendency to blame themselves or others. Similarly, by cultivating compassion towards others, individuals can foster a sense of connection and empathy, even in the midst of conflicts.
Mindful Communication in conflict resolution
Effective communication is at the heart of conflict resolution, and mindfulness can greatly enhance communication skills in conflict situations. Mindful communication involves being fully present and attentive to the other person, listening with an open mind and heart, and responding with clarity and compassion.
One key aspect of mindful communication is active listening. Active listening involves giving one’s full attention to the speaker, without interrupting or formulating a response in one’s mind. By practicing active listening, individuals can truly understand the other person’s perspective, needs, and concerns, fostering a sense of empathy and connection.
Mindful communication also involves speaking with intention and clarity. Instead of reacting impulsively or defensively, individuals can take a moment to reflect on their words and choose their responses mindfully. This allows for more thoughtful and constructive communication, reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings or further conflicts.
Furthermore, mindfulness helps individuals become aware of their non-verbal communication cues, such as body language and facial expressions. By observing these cues in themselves and others, individuals can gain valuable insights into the underlying emotions and intentions behind the words spoken. This awareness enables individuals to respond to conflicts with greater sensitivity and understanding.
Mindfulness for Conflict Transformation and Resolution
Conflict transformation and resolution involve moving beyond the surface-level issues and addressing the underlying causes and needs of all parties involved. Mindfulness can play a transformative role in conflict resolution by facilitating a deeper understanding of oneself and others, fostering empathy and compassion, and promoting creative problem-solving.
By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can develop the ability to step back from their own perspectives and biases and see the conflict from a broader and more inclusive viewpoint. This shift in perspective allows individuals to recognize the interconnectedness of all parties involved and the shared humanity underlying conflicts. With this understanding, individuals can approach conflicts with a genuine desire for resolution and mutual benefit.
Mindfulness also enhances individuals’ capacity for creative problem-solving in conflicts. By cultivating a non-judgmental and open-minded attitude, individuals can generate innovative solutions that go beyond the limitations of conventional thinking. This creative approach to conflict resolution can lead to win-win outcomes, where all parties’ needs are met and conflicts are transformed into opportunities for growth and collaboration.
Mindfulness has emerged as a powerful tool in modern conflict management, offering individuals the ability to navigate conflicts with clarity, compassion, and wisdom. By cultivating mindfulness, individuals can develop awareness of conflicts, regulate their emotions, communicate effectively, and transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and resolution. The practice of mindfulness not only benefits individuals in their personal and professional lives but also has the potential to contribute to a more peaceful and harmonious society. As conflicts continue to arise in our interconnected world, the role of mindfulness in conflict management becomes increasingly relevant and valuable. | {

<urn:uuid:c4c4bc37-7d87-449d-baa1-ab7ffaaf7a11> | What is it?
Pacific oyster mortality syndrome (POMS), or Infection with Ostreid herpesvirus-1 microvariant (OsHV-1 var) is a disease affecting pacific oyster.
Ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1) is the only member of the genus Ostreavirus (family
Malacoherpesviridae, order Herpesvirales). OsHV-1 var is a genotype of this virus.
Where and when might it occur?
The disease can affect all age groups of oysters, and there may be higher mortality in the younger life stages.
Higher mortality appears to be associated with higher water temperature and crowding. Infected adults may be a source of infection for larvae or spat. However, it is not certain if true vertical transmission occurs. Horizontal transmission has been demonstrated. Some adults may survive with subclinical OsHV-1 infections, and act as carriers of the disease.
The main sign of the disease is high mortalities of around 100 percent which occur within eight to 10 days of infection.
Gross pathological signs are:
- cessation of feeding and swimming by larvae, which exhibit velar lesions
- gaping in adults
- pale digestive gland in spat and older oysters
Microscopic pathological signs are:
- ulcerative and erosive lesions in the connective tissue of mantle, gills, labial palps and digestive tissue
- nuclear hypertrophy, nuclear chromatin margination and pyknosis
- inflammatory changes ranging from mild and localised, to severe and extensive

<urn:uuid:abaafd32-6277-4746-a7f7-f5738939f035> | Throughout the passage of time, all of history the human being has written all the events and moments that the world has seen and lived, all this not only refers to history, but also includes the arts, philosophies, inventions and economic developments contemplating its negotiations, exchanges and laws among other things. For this, throughout the world, each country has stored information from the beginning in places such as museums and libraries, currently in digital archives; this is called a database.
A database represents a collection of information organized all within a computer so that it can select and manage fragments of information quickly and easily when it needs them.
- Characteristics of a database
- What is a database for?
- How a database works
- Importance of the database
The databases are a compendium of information that encompasses the entire same context, which are stored in a systematic way to be used later or by the user through a computer.
These can include not only information for readings but they can also contain numerical files and multimedia content such as images or videos.
Characteristics of a database
- It allows the human being to access different sources of information in an organized way.
- In the area of business and companies, it allows the human resources area to have available all the information regarding its personnel and their changes within it.
- In the area of science, it allows scientists and researchers to access field tests and experiments as well as theoretical information.
- It allows citizens to search for contact information about other people and companies.
A database is mainly made up of three elements:
- A field which represents the single piece of information.
- A record Which represents a complete system of the information field.
- A file It is the compendium of information and file that makes up the database.
What is a database for?
The databases allow us to store and verify records, data and files referring to areas such as sales operations, creation processes, product catalogs, warehouses and inventories, field tests, customer profiles, among many more informative data that can be stored.
In general, in order to handle all this information, file managers are used which allow the user the ability to control and manage their reads and writes, specifying the creation of reports and usage analysis.
These are usually used mostly in companies for internal management and the organization of staff and inventory, reducing the paperwork tedious it means to organize information manually ( so physically through paper files, assuming large expenditures on stationery ).
At the same time, it is also widely used within the scientific area where databases store information from the different experiments that are carried out in order to reduce the margins of error in subsequent experiments.
Although when we talk about a database the term is directly associated with the computer area , its origin is found in the first Egyptian civilizations and ancient Rome and Greece.
Egyptian narrated their stories through paintings on the walls of the palaces in order that future generations knew the h i storias of their ancestors.
In Rome and Greece there were scribes who were responsible not only for writing the history of their nations, but also for keeping a trade record of transactions between the kings and also between the merchants of their peoples.
The first databases that we can find were the files collected in Italy that were gradually stored forming the first libraries where the philosophers, inventors and historians went to study the histories and progress of past peoples.
With the passage of time the world began to realize that the databases were getting bigger and bigger so it was very difficult to contain all that information, in turn companies had to have areas exclusively determined to the data files of said companies .
For this reason, with the progress of the first computers, engineers, before discussing the issues of color gamut or issues of versatility, set themselves the utilitarian objective of storing information on a large scale within computers, to replace the creation of large rudimentary files. This is how the first storage disks were created and also those for portable storage (cassette and floppy ).
How a database works
- All the information that you want to store is gathered.
- It is grouped systematically in order to maintain a correct distribution for easy access.
- The information is stored inside a processor (a computer) so that it has the information at the moment it is needed.
The different types of databases are classified according to each context that they include:
- The former are classified according to their variability with respect to the database:
- Static databases: These are those databases that are made up only of reading data, these are used primarily to store historical data, which are used to study the behavior and evolution of data, such as data. that are used in companies or companies to study evolution.
- The dynamic type databases: make up the databases that store information and with the passage of time it is modified for operations such as data updates or editions of the same. The most common databases of this type are those used in the supermarket, which are under constant review.
- The second classification is according to its content that is stored in it:
- Bibliographic databases: They only store surrogate type information from the primary source, allowing it to be located easily. The easiest way to explain this is that it refers to all the information of the authors regarding their works ( Date of publication, edition, editorial, among others ), together with a summary or small extracts of the works.
- The full-text information bases: These are the most common to see because they store the primary sources of data such as all the editions of a newspaper or a collection of magazines . The full text bases are usually separated into two parts: personal or business where it is given the name of white pages and yellow pages.
- There are three types of business directories :
- They contain the name and address of the company.
- They include contact information like your phone number and email.
- It contains information for internal use such as your billing, payroll and your national codes.
- The databases of chemical or biological information (Libraries): They are nothing more than the bases where information related to life sciences, medicine or chemistry is stored and this is separated into several subtypes:
- The bases that store protein or nucleotide sequences.
- The databases that have the information on the metabolic pathways.
- Databases where 3D structures of biomolecules are stored together with data from field experiences.
- Databases of medical records.
- Bibliographic databases.
There are numerous database models, some of the most prominent are:
- Hierarchical databases: in this database all the information starts from a central node which is the main topic and it is subdivided into smaller nodes which is where the information is found.
- Network databases: this is a model similar to the hierarchical one , its difference is that not all minor nodes start from a main one, but each minor node has its largest node.
- Transaction database: these are the least seen models and their only purpose is the rapid sending and receiving of information regarding the analyzes of a finished product.
- Relational databases: in this model, the way in which the information is placed is not relevant, since its main objective is to allow the information to be reviewed in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
- Multidimensional databases: this model is a system created for the development of ideas and applications, based on metric or measurement tables.
- Databases in relation to objects: this model incorporates information on status and behavior, which is why they are mostly seen in scientific areas.
- Documented databases: this model is based mainly on information that is stored on a large scale, mostly they are histories and antecedents of the world.
- Deductive databases: this model allows interactions with the information within the same database in order to create inferences or opinions on the information.
- SGBD: it is a digital system that allows the storage of information from multiple places all connected by the same network.
Importance of the database
Databases allow the world to handle large amounts of information in an easy and simple way in order to facilitate work in all areas of human development and at the same time always know all the evolutionary process that it has gone through.

St. Stephen's Cathedral
Der Stephansdom (Domkirche St. Stephan zu Wien) ist seit 1365 Domkirche (Sitz eines Domkapitels), seit 1469/1479 Kathedrale (Bischofssitz) und seit 1723 Metropolitankirche des Erzbischofs von Wien. Der von Wienern auch kurz Steffl genannte römisch-katholische Dom gilt als Wahrzeichen Wiens.
The Hofburg is the former principal imperial palace in the center of Vienna, Austria. Built in the 13th century and expanded in the centuries since, the palace has been the seat of power of the Habsburg dynasty rulers, and today the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria. It also served as the imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence.
Since 1279 the Hofburg area has been the documented seat of government. The Hofburg has been expanded over the centuries to include various residences (with the Amalienburg and the Albertina), the imperial chapel (Hofkapelle or Burgkapelle), the imperial library (Hofbibliothek), the treasury (Schatzkammer), the Burgtheater, the Spanish Riding School (Hofreitschule), the imperial mews (Stallburg and Hofstallungen).
The palace faces the Heldenplatz (Heroes Square) ordered under the reign of Emperor Francis Joseph I, as part of what was planned to become the Kaiserforum but which was never completed.
Numerous architects have executed work at the Hofburg as it expanded, notably the Italian architect-engineer Filiberto Luchese, Lodovico Burnacini and Martino and Domenico Carlone, the Baroque architects Lukas von Hildebrandt and Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, Johann Fischer von Erlach, and the architects of the Neue Burg built between 1881 and 1913.
Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien
The Kunsthistorisches Museum (lit. "Museum of Art History", also often referred to as the "Museum of Fine Arts") is an art museum in Vienna, Austria. Housed in its festive palatial building on Ringstraße, it is crowned with an octagonal dome. The term Kunsthistorisches Museum applies to both the institution and the main building. It is the largest art museum in the country.
It was opened around 1891 at the same time as the Natural History Museum, Vienna, by Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary. The two museums have similar exteriors and face each other across Maria-Theresien-Platz. Both buildings were built between 1871 and 1891 according to plans drawn up by Gottfried Semper and Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer.
The two Ringstraße museums were commissioned by the emperor in order to find a suitable shelter for the Habsburgs' formidable art collection and to make it accessible to the general public. The façade was built of sandstone. The building is rectangular in shape, and topped with a dome that is 60 meters high. The inside of the building is lavishly decorated with marble, stucco ornamentations, gold-leaf, and paintings.
The Rektoratskirche St. Karl Borromäus, commonly called the Karlskirche (English: St. Charles Church), is a baroque church located on the south side of Karlsplatz in Vienna, Austria. Widely considered the most outstanding baroque church in Vienna, as well as one of the city's greatest buildings, the church is dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, one of the great counter-reformers of the sixteenth century.
Located on the edge of the Innere Stadt, approximately 200 meters outside the Ringstraße, the church contains a dome in the form of an elongated ellipsoid. | {

<urn:uuid:8fa0e43f-47ff-4da7-9279-322df9e549cf> | Yale researchers unlock secrets through study of long-term effects of COVID-19
Yale researchers expand their work on long COVID in conjunction with Survivor Corps to study how vaccinations are affecting long COVID symptoms.
Researchers at the Yale School of Medicine are currently engaged in a year-long study to investigate the long-term effects of COVID-19, colloquially termed “long COVID.”
Symptoms of long COVID include fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating, sleep disorders, fevers, anxiety and depression, all of which can persist for months after initially contracting and recovering from COVID-19. In recent months, professors and community members at the School of Medicine have turned their focus towards the condition, according to professor of medicine Harlan Krumholz. A study currently underway aims to track the long-term implications of COVID-19 vaccines on previously infected individuals who continue to suffer from long COVID.
“What we’re trying to do is bring together the best of clinical and epidemiologic science with basic biological science and to then make some kinds of conclusions about what it is that people are experiencing [with long COVID],” Krumholz said. “What are the factors that seem to be associated with better or worse trajectories? And what are the underlying biological factors that seem to be underlying some of these syndromes [with long COVID]?”
Krumholz explained that Yale researchers started their inquiry into long COVID with research conducted in February by Albert Ko, professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. Ko started to “develop large scale studies of healthcare workers, and collect both blood and information about [them] from the outset.” The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effects of COVID-19.
For the study, Yale researchers turned to Akiko Iwasaki, professor of immunobiology and molecular, cellular and developmental biology and of epidemiology at the School of Medicine, and also partnered with Survivor Corps, the largest COVID-19 survivor organization in the United States.
“[Our] goal is to try to understand the disease pathogenesis behind long COVID,” Iwasaki said. “And the tool that we’re using is to really leverage the changes in the immune responses that occur after vaccination. [Vaccinations] are therapy or intervention where people have reported significant changes in their symptoms. The vaccines themselves aren’t going to be a cure for the long COVID, but it’s a means for us to learn about how the vaccine might improve somebody’s symptoms. And so we can emulate that better with a more appropriate therapy.”
The study has tested five different hypotheses on why long COVID exists, according to Iwasaki. Among them is the “viral reservoir” hypothesis, in which infectious particles or remnants of the virus persist in the bodies of people afflicted with long COVID. The second is that autoimmune diseases are triggered by COVID-19. The third centers around microbiomes and the balance of good and bad bacteria in the body. The fourth stems from unrepaired tissue damage, and the fifth focuses on the reactivation of previous viruses, like herpes. While there are five distinct hypotheses, Iwasaki explained that the underlying reasons for long COVID might be a combination of these.
According to Diana Berrent, founder of Survivor Corps, she and Iwasaki began to work together to study long COVID in people who had been vaccinated after connecting over social media.
“It started off as a Twitter conversation,” Berrent explained. “The study was eventually launched in the spring and was completed over the summer as a longitudinal study [a study that observes variables over a long period of time]. So, this is an example of citizens and scientists working together to make science go at little warp speed.”
According to Iwasaki, the partnership with Survivor Corps helped facilitate enrollment in the study, since at the time of her February conversation with Berrent the organization already had about 100,000 members who had been infected with COVID-19.
The first stage of the vaccination study concluded this summer. Due to recent impositions of vaccine mandates throughout the U.S., the researchers are expanding upon their existing research by increasing the number of individuals in the study and watching their symptoms through the end of next May.
According to Daisy Massey ’19, clinical research affiliate at the medical school, the research focuses on the patterns of how vaccinations are changing immune systems and affecting long COVID.
“By looking in such detail at the immune system during these immune assays [a procedure that records a response to a given stimulation], the goal is to look for patterns continuously in the people we study and eventually hopefully being able to test hypotheses that we developed together,” Massey told the News. “The stage we’re at right now is we’ve had the first wave of people go through. But with the vaccine mandate, we’re actually coming up with more people who are planning now to get vaccinated so we are starting to come together and do analyses now.”
According to Krumholz, the studies’ larger implications are the development strategies that have the power “to unlock a lot of secrets about what’s causing these problems [with long COVID].”

<urn:uuid:b95fe05f-dfed-4925-9bfe-712b96769b49> | Sonnets have the following characteristics: There are fourteen lines. All sonnets have 14 lines that are divided into four pieces called quatrains. A rigid rhyme scheme A Shakespearean sonnet, for example, has the rhyme system ABAB/CDCD/EFEF/GG (note the four distinct sections in the rhyme scheme). This means that the first line of each quatrain should end with a rhyming word, the second line with another, and so on.
Shakespeare used this strict form because it allowed him to focus on how he wanted each stanza to sound rather than being concerned with matching words together randomly. This is also why there are no blank lines between any of the parts - they are all carefully crafted to fit together as one whole poem.
Sonnets were originally written for someone to read aloud. They were often sent as love letters or even today some are posted through the mail.
The most famous sonnet writer was William Shakespeare. His 154 sonnets were published along with three other poets' works in 1609. Since then many more sonnets have been written - some by famous people such as Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost, but others by writers who have not been identified yet!
In conclusion, yes, all 14-line poems called sonnets must follow the ABBA/CDCD/EFEF/GG rhyme pattern and be contained within four quatrains.
Characteristics of a Sonnet A sonnet is divided into four portions known as quatrains. The first three quatrains each include four lines and employ an alternate rhyme system. The concluding quatrain is made up of only two lines, both of which rhyme. Each quatrain should move the poetry along in the following way: first quatrain offers a statement or question, second quatrain provides a response to the statement or question, and so on.
Sonnets were originally written in English (modern language) as poems in praise of love. They were popular in Europe from the late 14th century to the early 17th century. Modern versions of sonnets have been written since then. One such version was published in 1609 by George Chapman and is called "The Oxford Arcadia." Today, sonnets continue to be written by many poets throughout the world.
In modern usage, the term "sonnet" can also refer to any two-part poetic form consisting of a series of fourteen lines divided into two parts by a rhyming couplet. Many twentieth-century poets wrote what they called "sonnets" but what we would now call free verse. For example, Wilfred Owen wrote several dozen poems that he called "sonnets" but that use no formal structure other than the pair of fourteen lines.
There are several varieties of sonnets. The Italian poet Petrarch created the Petrarchan sonnet, which splits the 14 lines into two sections: an eight-line stanza (octave) rhyming ABBAABBA and a six-line stanza (sestet) rhyming CDCDCD or CDECDE. This pattern is common in poetry.
The first eight lines of a Petrarchan sonnet form a quatrain, while the last six lines combine to form a sestet. Therefore, the first eight lines constitute a quire of four verses, while the second half of the sonnet consists of two quires joined together by a tercet. A sonnet sequence is a collection of sonnets arranged in any order. There are many sequence forms in use today; however, most follow the basic structure of the Petrarchan sonnet.
Many poets have used sonnets as a vehicle for artistic expression. They are useful because they can be concise yet still cover a wide range of subjects. This makes them ideal for showing off your knowledge of many different types of people, places, and things.
In addition to being a good way to show off your knowledge, sonnets are also used to express feelings. Some people even say that sonnets are the best way to love because they give freedom to expression without worrying about wrong words or phrases.
Finally, sonnets are used to ask questions. | {

<urn:uuid:35e689e2-92f5-4a1b-ad00-9beb07a68b0e> | Gaining insights from data
Media decisions are increasingly made on the basis of data. Econometric modelling is one way to identify the drivers for greater effectiveness and efficiency. However, in practice, these projects pose challenges for companies.
Today, a company has more data at its disposal than ever before. Every act of purchase is recorded via scanner cash registers, every contact with an advertising medium on the internet is measured. In addition, there is data that provides information about prices as well as marketing activities such as promotions and advertising. In addition, there are other data that provide information on the development of the industry, the economy or seasonal factors. All this data can contain crucial information that makes it possible to draw conclusions about consumer behaviour, to simulate behaviour in the event of changes in framework parameters or to forecast the development of sales.
A procedure that allows influences from both the online and offline world to be taken into account is econometric modelling. Econometric modelling is a collective term that can cover several, usually statistical, procedures. The statistical procedure that is used in most cases is multiple regression, in which more than one independent variable can be taken into account in a model. In this way, for example, cause-effect relationships can be represented and quantified, and the expression of the dependent variable can be predicted. Using econometric modelling, the effect of the most important factors from marketing and media can be determined. This makes it possible to answer many questions of practical relevance to companies, for example:
- Which factors influence sales?
- What effect does the price have?
- In which media should advertising take place?
- What advertising pressure is required?
How is such a data model created?
In contrast to analyses in the purely digital field, econometric modelling typically does not use data at the person level or for individual purchase acts, but aggregated data. These are considered over time. Depending on the product and data availability, they are considered over several years. In practice, three years of data are often used at the weekly level, which corresponds to 156 data points (weeks). In the case of a sales data model, data must be gathered from different sources. This includes marketing data such as sales, turnover, price and information on distribution and promotions, data on media use, seasonal data such as holidays, public holidays, weather data and – depending on the case – specific additional data such as data on new product launches, relaunches or even delivery problems.
The data should – as far as available – be considered for the respective product and for the relevant competition in order to also be able to represent corresponding competitive effects (e.g. the effects of a competitor’s advertising on the sales of the product under consideration). In order to be able to realistically consider the effect of the individual factors, transformations must be carried out for some variables, for example temporal transformations of the media variables: While a price promotion has an immediate effect (if the product is bought because of the price reduction, it is bought at the time of the price reduction and not later), the direct temporal assignment is not given for the effect of the media variables – here a purchase triggered by advertising can still take place days and weeks after the advertising contact. In order to take this carry-over into account, the media variables are divided into several individual variables that have different time courses of effect. Furthermore, transformations are necessary in order to map marginal utility curves (a doubling of advertising contacts usually results in less than double the sales effect). Since ideally competition data are also added, more than 2,000 variables are examined in a typical project.
Data: Variety of possible combinations
Now, one could initially think of simply using all available data and forming a corresponding model from it. Unfortunately, this is not possible. For statistical reasons, the number of explanatory variables used cannot exceed the number of data points – so with weekly data for three years, as mentioned, a maximum of 156 variables would be possible. But even the maximum possible variables are already far too many for a robust model: while the model quality increases with each additional variable included, problems almost inevitably arise. Each individual variable has to be statistically significant, i.e. it has to make a contribution that is certainly different from zero, otherwise its effect – but also that of the other variables – can be wrongly estimated. With weekly data for three years, the number of simultaneously significant variables is limited to a maximum of 20.
In practical terms, the question is how to select the 20 most important variables from the large number of variables that form a model with high explanatory power in a statistical sense, but are also plausible in a practical sense. With 2,000 variables, there would be about 4×1047 (400 septillions) possibilities to select 20 variables each. The possibilities of building models with fewer than 20 variables are added to this. No computer today is capable of running through all the possible combinations in a reasonable amount of time.
Verification of the model
In practical use, it is therefore necessary to apply a method that arrives at a reasonable selection of variables despite the impossibility of testing all variants – and that is both safe in a statistical sense and seems plausible in a practical sense. There is no standard way to arrive at such a result. A tried and tested approach is to determine the most important factors (e.g. price, season) on the basis of hypotheses and then enrich the model step by step with further variables until no further noticeable improvement can be achieved. However, this procedure is not a one-way street: Here again, it is advisable to test as many variants as possible.
It is also often the case that previously significant influences have to be removed again when other – more important in terms of content – influences are included in the model. In order to arrive at models that make sense in terms of content, the effect and strength of the influences should be checked for plausibility; experience also plays an important role here. The hardest check of a model, however, is to let it make a forecast – first for the past, then in ongoing operation on the basis of real data. To check the forecasting power of a model, a part of the time series is cut out and forecasts are made on the basis of the model that was created again for the remaining shortened time series (holdout test). The holdout test is done by having the model make a forecast using new values now available for the variables used and comparing the forecast to the real values. It is to be expected that the forecast and real values will increasingly differ after some time. This is the right time to update the model.
Practical application possibilities
The model has many possible applications. These can be divided into two areas: Retrospective Description and Forecasting. In the retrospective view, for example, it is possible to determine what share the proven factors have in the development of sales (sales decomposition). The effect of individual factors can be determined, for example the elasticity of the price. In the area of media, the main interest is in how long the effect lasts, which advertising pressure is optimal and what contribution to sales the previous media have made (ROI). The second important area of application for the models is the possibility to carry out simulations and forecasts. For example, it is possible to simulate the effect of a price adjustment or a change in the media mix and media strategy. Based on the model, the optimal media strategy as well as the optimal media mix for a given budget can be determined or, conversely, the budget required to achieve certain sales targets can be determined. Finally, forecasts can be made for the development of sales. Today, many companies in different industries use models to simulate the effects of different marketing strategies and to support strategic decisions based on data.
Statistical and methodological standards
While there are various statistical indicators for the procedures behind the modelling that allow, for example, the quality of the model and the security of the data used to be assessed, there is no uniform methodological standard for the way in which further central results are derived on the basis of the model. Even if two different service providers use the same statistical data model, there may be differences in the practical preparation. For example, there is no standard for determining sales decomposition, to name just one example. A problem arises in how to deal with negative influences, such as price. For example, the simplest way would be to offset the coefficients obtained through modelling with the respective variable values, which leads to positive and negative shares for coefficients with positive and negative signs. Another way is to start from a reference point for each variable. The value that results from these reference points forms the baseline (comparable to the sales share that still results under the most unfavorable conditions). Only those values of the variables that deviate from this point are then included in the sales decomposition. This approach leads to all shares becoming positive, even those of the variables that originally had a negative effect. Both approaches are comprehensible but lead to different proportions and thus to different statements. Further central statements of the model concern the ROI or also the exact effect of the communication variables. However, it would go beyond the scope of this article to describe the different approaches for calculating these effects.
Engaging service providers
The data model should help reduce the complexity of the real world and support marketing decisions in a data-based way. However, to minimise the risk of making a wrong decision, it makes sense to take a closer look at the respective model. Since there are no uniform standards regarding the presentation of the methods, it is all the more important that the respective service provider discloses the statistical key figures of the model, but also the way in which the results were arrived at, to the client. This is the only way to verify the results and to be able to classify and interpret them correctly. | {

<urn:uuid:47b1bb06-c319-4c3a-b0a6-3306666ffff2> | Ascertains whether a given character is a letter of the alphabet
int isalpha ( int c );
The function isalpha( ) tests whether its character argument is a letter of the alphabet. If the character is alphabetic, isalpha( ) returns a nonzero value (that is, TRue); if not, the function returns 0 (false).
Which characters are considered alphabetic depends on the current locale setting for the localization category LC_CTYPE, which you can query or change using the setlocale( ) function.
In the C locale, which is the default locale setting, the alphabetic characters are those for which isupper( ) or islower( ) returns true. These are the 26 lowercase and 26 uppercase letters of the Latin alphabet, which are the letters in the basic source and execution character sets (see "Character Sets" in Chapter 1).
Accented characters, umlauts, and the like are considered alphabetic only in certain locales. Moreover, other locales may have characters that are alphabetic, but are neither upper- nor lowercase, or both upper- and lowercase.
In all locales, the isalpha( ) classification is mutually exclusive with iscntrl( ), isdigit( ), ispunct( ), and isspace( ).
See the example for isprint( ) in this chapter.
The corresponding C99 function for wide characters, iswalpha( ); isalnum( ), isblank( ), iscntrl( ), isdigit( ), isgraph( ), islower( ), isprint( ), ispunct( ), isspace( ), isupper( ), isxdigit( ), setlocale( ) | {

<urn:uuid:cb870669-e553-4c26-82f9-3d9bbddcd7ba> | Vulnerability has many different connotations, for some people it may be when we:
- haven’t got adequate protection around us or mechanisms in place to protect our physical or emotional wellbeing i.e. family support;
- are extremely susceptible, which can be reflected in our individual capacity to cope or deal with stuff;
- are physically or psychologically weakened, which can inhibit our ability to resist illness and failure(hardship?)
As blokes we are often referred to as being ‘stoic’ (ignoring our vulnerability) often toughing it out and getting the job done. One characteristic of Stoicism is, ’as humans we must accept suffering as part of human existence’. We have all heard the saying ‘life wasn’t meant to be easy’ and we have all felt the harsh reality of this statement through the various hardships and challenges we endure in our lives. Whether we have suffered a serious health issue, cared for a sick or aging family member, financial stress, feelings of being trapped/isolated or alone or even the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all challenged at some stage.
I put this into context by the belief that quite often there are no rules as to why some things happen in life i.e. losing a job, having a partner or wife leave us, or getting sick. We can spend a lot of time questioning, why did this happen to me? When in fact the only explanation is that sometimes ‘shit just happens’. A stoic view would strengthen our ability to endure the ups and downs of life, however unfair and cruel they may be. Sometimes as a lot of blokes do, we just get on with it.
When we look in the rear-view mirror during these times of hardship, do we realise that there is an opportunity to do something different that can help us utilise the individual capacity we are all born with to survive and thrive? For us blokes it often means we need to make an effort and change the way we think to get through these tough times. Some of these changes may include:
- connecting more with loved ones or friends (relationships take time and effort);
- taking time to read, relax, watch a movie, write, paint, make music, garden, sort old photos (develop that passion and interest); and
- allowing ourselves to be vulnerable.
It’s that latter point ‘allowing ourselves to be vulnerable’ that encapsulates the often underdeveloped, underutilized and still scorned part of a bloke’s DNA. As Brene Brown states in her book Rising Strong ‘Vulnerability is not about winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage’.
Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable is an empowering experience, it gives us permission to feel pain, fear or grief giving perspective to our own life journey. It can help us deal with stuff in a more realistic way, perhaps even to find and live with a solution. Take care.

<urn:uuid:ee73379d-8305-40fd-bcc6-1591159481c8> | Cherry blossoms, in all their varieties, are universally captivating, each boasting unique features that set them apart. They differ in hues, dimensions, and other characteristics, lending every type its own distinct charm and significance.
If attracting pollinators is your goal, Yoshino cherry trees are an excellent choice. They are prolific in producing both pollen and nectar. Conversely, the Kwanzan Cherry is cultivated solely for its abundant and striking flowers. Lacking in pollen and nectar production, it is a sterile tree, but its floral display is undeniably magnificent.

They have different flowers
The Kwanzan and Yoshino cherry blossoms exhibit distinct floral differences, making each variety uniquely captivating.
Kwanzan cherry blossoms are notably intricate, featuring two to three layers of petals. The petals nearer the center are shorter, creating a lush, full appearance. Additionally, the wavy edges of the Kwanzan petals add to their aesthetic appeal. With 12-13 flowers per cluster, Kwanzan blossoms resemble luxuriant bunches, reminiscent of hydrangeas.
In contrast, Yoshino cherry blossoms are simpler, typically with five petals per flower. Their inflorescences usually contain about 10 flowers, forming charming, pompom-like clusters.
Color-wise, these varieties also stand apart. Yoshino blossoms are delicately pale pink, appearing almost white from a distance, with their pink hue more evident upon closer inspection. Kwanzan flowers, on the other hand, boast a vivid pink color that is striking even from afar, making them a visually striking choice.
Kwanzan bloom after Yoshino
Kwanzan cherry trees flower slightly after the Yoshino variety, marking another distinction between them. The timing of their bloom varies based on climatic conditions and other factors, with the delay ranging from a few days up to two weeks.
Typically, Yoshino cherry blossoms emerge in late March, continuing through April. In contrast, Kwanzan cherries start blooming in early April, lasting until the month’s end. This later blooming period gives Kwanzan an edge, as its flowers are less vulnerable to the damage that late frosts can cause.
Kwanzan is messier than Yoshino
Kwanzan cherry trees tend to be messier than Yoshinos, particularly after their blooming period. This difference is mainly due to the duration and manner of their petal shedding.
Post-flowering, Yoshino cherry trees quickly shed their petals and flowers, usually within a few days. This results in a relatively thin layer of floral remnants beneath the tree, making the cleanup process straightforward and typically completed in a single day.
In contrast, the Kwanzan variety sheds its flowers over a more extended period, often lasting more than a week. If these fallen flowers are not promptly cleared, they can accumulate substantially under the tree’s canopy. This situation can be further exacerbated by rain, as the wet petals tend to form a paste-like layer that is more challenging to clean up.
Therefore, Kwanzan cherry trees generally require more effort and time for post-blooming cleanup compared to their Yoshino counterparts.
Yoshino is bigger
Despite the Kwanzan cherry’s lush appearance, it is typically smaller in size compared to the Yoshino cherry tree.
In favorable conditions, a Yoshino cherry tree can grow up to 40% larger than a Kwanzan. This significant size difference should be considered when planning where to plant them. Yoshino cherry trees require more space, ideally planted farther from buildings. Their canopy can extend over 50 feet (about 15 meters), necessitating a clearance of at least 25 feet (approximately 7-8 meters) from other plants to accommodate their spread.
An additional feature of the Yoshino variety is the existence of a weeping form known as the Yoshino Weeping Cherry Tree (Prunus x yedoensis ‘Pendula’). This unique cultivar is characterized by its beautiful flowering drooping branches, creating an awe-inspiring and distinct visual appeal.
Kwanzan needs a little more sun
While both Kwanzan and Yoshino cherry trees thrive in sunlight, the Kwanzan variety has a slightly higher sun exposure requirement.
Kwanzan cherry trees ideally need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. In cooler climates, such as those in hardiness zone 5, they may require up to 8 hours of sunlight for optimal flowering.
On the other hand, Yoshino cherry trees are a bit more flexible with their light needs. In warmer areas, like climate zone 9, they can flourish with just 4 hours of direct sunlight, though they are capable of tolerating more.
Insufficient sunlight can lead to poor or no blooming in cherry blossom trees. Therefore, it’s crucial to plant them in open, sunny areas to ensure they receive adequate light for healthy growth and flowering.
Kwanzan is hardier than Yoshino
Kwanzan cherry trees exhibit a broader adaptability to varying climate zones compared to Yoshino cherry trees, making them hardier in diverse environments.
The Kwanzan variety can successfully grow in hardiness zones 5 to 9, with instances of thriving even in zone 4. To enhance their winter hardiness in colder zones, it’s beneficial to mulch around their roots.
Conversely, Yoshino cherry trees are suited for hardiness zones 5 to 8. This range indicates that Yoshino trees may struggle with the intense heat found in the southern United States and the extreme cold in the northern regions.
Due to its wider range of climate tolerance, Kwanzan cherry trees are a more versatile choice for gardeners across various regions. | {

<urn:uuid:2ff241e6-f3bc-44f0-b51a-7337acc813f6> | Destructuring Tweets – Episode 1 – Set() Trickery
This is a series where I (quickly) destructure one of those often shared snippet quizzes on Social Media. Welcome to the first episode!
const myList = [['❤️'], ['JSSnippets'], ['❤️']]; const mySet = new Set(myList); console.log(mySet.size);
In the first line, they create a two-dimensional array. We have one (first dimension), holding numerous others (second dimension). All three of them contain a single item, a string. The remarkable here is that the first and last item is the same!
In the second line, they create a Set. You might not have heard of it, but it's an object that only stores unique values. So whenever you pass an array, it automatically ditches all duplicated items. This API comes in handy at times. In this example, we construct a new set from the array
What will the
console.log be, then? One might think the output will be
2 since the first and last array is equal. Well, surprisingly enough, this is wrong! The result is, indeed,
Why so? Cause an array is an object.
typeof // "object"
ℹ️ On a side note: even the indexes are just properties. We access an index by its property name like any other (e.g.
However, the important here is that an object is assigned-by-reference. Primitive types (String, undefined, Number, etc.) are assigned-by-value. So even though an object might hold the same properties and values, it's still not similar since it's another reference. Think about it in the sense that every object has its unique ID. Only if said IDs match they are truly the same. | {
