TL;DR: This work aims to provide an accessible research platform to determine demographic, socioeconomic and clinical risk factors for infection, morbidity and mortality of CO VID-19, to measure the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare utilisation and long-term health, and to enable the evaluation of natural experiments of policy interventions.

On average, a professional rugby union player is more likely than not to sustain a concussion after 25 matches
James Rafferty,Craig Ranson,Giles Oatley,Mohamed E. Mostafa,Prabhat Mathema,Tom Crick,Isabel S. Moore +6 more
TL;DR: Playing more than 25 matches in the 2015/2016 season meant that sustaining concussion was more likely than not sustaining concussion, and the 38% greater injury risk after concussive injury (compared with non-concussed injury) suggests return to play protocols warrant investigation.

Real time response on dS_3: the Topological AdS Black Hole and the Bubble
TL;DR: In this article, real time correlators in strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on dS_3 x S^1, with antiperiodic boundary conditions for fermions on the circle were studied.

Playing surface and UK professional rugby union injury risk.
TL;DR: While there was no higher injury risk for matches played on artificial versus natural grass surfaces, the higher incidence of concussion and chest injury on grass, and the higher rate of foot injuries on artificial surfaces may be related to tackle and footwear-to-surface interface factors.
Holographic Roberge Weiss transitions II: Defect theories and the Sakai Sugimoto model
TL;DR: In this paper, an imaginary chemical potential for quark number was introduced into the Sakai Sugimoto model and codimension k defect theories, and the phase diagram of these models are a function of three parameters, the temperature, chemical potential and the asymptotic separation of the flavour branes, related to a mass for the quarks in the boundary theories.
