  4. Article ; Online: Orders between Channels and Implications for Partial Information Decomposition.

    Abstract The partial information decomposition (PID) framework is concerned with decomposing the information that a set of random variables has with respect to a target variable into three types of components: redundant, synergistic, and unique. Classical information theory alone does not provide a unique way to decompose information in this manner, and additional assumptions have to be made. Recently, Kolchinsky proposed a new general axiomatic approach to obtain measures of redundant information based on choosing an order relation between information sources (equivalently, order between communication channels). In this paper, we exploit this approach to introduce three new measures of redundant information (and the resulting decompositions) based on well-known preorders between channels, contributing to the enrichment of the PID landscape. We relate the new decompositions to existing ones, study several of their properties, and provide examples illustrating their novelty. As a side result, we prove that any preorder that satisfies Kolchinsky's axioms yields a decomposition that meets the axioms originally introduced by Williams and Beer when they first proposed PID.

    Abstract Introduction: Bladder cancer (BC) is an increasingly frequent malignancy worldwide. Several variant histologies (VH) have been described in BC with a distinct clinical behavior.
    Objectives: This study aims to assess the prognostic impact of VH in BC, comparing its outcomes to pure urothelial carcinoma PUC in both non-muscle invasive (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive (MIBC) settings.
    Methods: We included patients with primary BC, comparing those with VH with those with PUC, with an age and sex-matched proportion of 1:3, considering stage at diagnosis, recurrence-free, progression-free, and overall survival (OS). A total of 616 patients were included in the study, (460 UC and 151 VH).
    Results: After first TURBT, MIBC was present in 99 (64.1%) of patients with VH, and 95 (20.6%) with UC (p<0.001). Concerning NMIBC, we observed higher rates of progression to MIBC amid patients with VH (p=0.009). Nodal involvement (p=0.020) and metastatic disease (p<0.001) were significantly higher within the VH group. A higher OS was observed among patients with NMIBC of PUC (p<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences of metastasis-free survival and OS between VH and UC groups within the MIBC setting.
    Conclusion: We confirmed that VH presents a more aggressive clinical course compared to PUC. An earlier radical treatment within the NMIBC setting could increase the oncological outcomes of the VH patients.

    Abstract The characterization of the climate of Santo André and its weather data are essential instruments for the study of implantation, both of new buildings and solutions of retrofit, as well as for the elaboration of projects of urban interventions or degraded areas occupation. In this study, meteorological weather data were obtained by meteorological stations in Santo André, a municipality located in the region of ABC Paulista (São Paulo State), for five different points of the city in order to evaluate the different micro climates and the influence of the surroundings in microclimates and an climate file in .epw format was developed for analysed bioclimatic strategies for buildings. Results show temperature and humidity variations among the five microclimates analyzed, as a consequence of the following actions: replacement of vegetation by constructions, asphalt, concrete and other impermeable surfaces, increased air pollution which cause a great absorption of solar radiation, forming a barrier for air circulation and of pollutant gases into the atmosphere creating urban heat island effects.

    Abstract LoRa is one of the most prominent LPWAN technologies due to its suitable characteristics for supporting large-scale IoT networks, as it offers long-range communications at low power consumption. The latter is granted mainly because end-nodes transmit directly to the gateways and no energy is spent in multi-hop transmissions. LoRaWAN gateways can successfully receive simultaneous transmissions on multiple channels. However, such gateways can be costly when compared to simpler single-channel LoRa transceivers, and at the same time they are configured to operate with pure-ALOHA, the well-known and fragile channel access scheme used in LoRaWAN. This work presents a fair, control-based channel hopping-based medium access scheme for LoRa networks with multiple single-channel gateways. Compared with the pure-ALOHA used in LoRaWAN, the protocol proposed here achieves higher goodput and fairness levels because each device can choose its most appropriate channel to transmit at a higher rate and spending less energy. Several simulation results considering different network densities and different numbers of single-channel LoRa gateways show that our proposal is able to achieve a packet delivery ratio (PDR) of around 18% for a network size of 2000 end-nodes and one gateway, and a PDR of almost 50% when four LoRa gateways are considered, compared to 2% and 6%, respectively, achieved by the pure-ALOHA approach.

    Abstract Sustainable health equity means achieving and maintaining equitable health outcomes for all people, including for future generations. It encompasses realizing the right to health, setting the conditions for leading a healthy life, and fulfilling the full range of human rights. Achieving sustainable health equity requires that public services be designed and provided, and public policies be developed through empowering, inclusive, participatory, accountable, and democratic processes and mechanisms.
