Comparison of form-deprived myopia and lens-induced myopia in guinea pigs [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014 AIM: To study the efficacy difference between form-deprived myopia (FDM) and lens-induced myopia (LIM), the degree of myopia, axial length and pathological changes of the posterior sclera from guinea pigs were evaluated.METHODS: Four-week pigmented ...

The influence of religious institutional logic in frontline work
Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.Abstract This research analyses the influence of religion—as an institutional logic—on the work of frontline workers (FLWs) in hybrid public policy implementation contexts. We conducted semi‐structured interviews and used vignettes with 37 therapeutic communities (TCs) in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, which provide care for individuals with ...

The Advantage of Foraging Myopically [PDF]
J. Stat. Mech. 073501 (2018), 2018 We study the dynamics of a \emph{myopic} forager that randomly wanders on a lattice in which each site contains one unit of food. Upon encountering a food-containing site, the forager eats all the food at this site with probability $p<1$; otherwise, the food is left undisturbed.

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose To investigate 2‐year changes in macular choroidal thickness (ChT) in children receiving 0.01% atropine eyedrops and its relationship with spherical equivalent refraction (SER) progression and axial length (AL) elongation. Methods A total of 250 myopic children aged 6–16 years (167%–0.01% atropine, 83‐placebo) were enrolled in the ...

Unlock the Potential of Counterfactually-Augmented Data in Out-Of-Distribution Generalization [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Counterfactually-Augmented Data (CAD) -- minimal editing of sentences to flip the corresponding labels -- has the potential to improve the Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) generalization capability of language models, as CAD induces language models to exploit domain-independent causal features and exclude spurious correlations.

Tracking visual outcomes – Follow‐up on patients born preterm with childhood‐onset visual impairment
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Preterm birth is associated with a risk of ocular complications. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate the main cause of visual impairment (VI) in a cohort of preterm born patients who had childhood‐onset VI. The association between health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and age, cause—and severity of VI and impairment type was ...
