Asymptotic pairs, stable sets and chaos in positive entropy systems
We consider positive entropy -systems for certain countable, discrete,
infinite left-orderable amenable groups . By undertaking local analysis, the
existence of asymptotic pairs and chaotic sets will be studied in connecting
with the stable sets. Examples are given for the case of integer lattice
groups, the Heisenberg group, and the groups of integral unipotent upper
triangular matrices

A Connection Behind the Terwilliger Algebras of and
The universal enveloping algebra of is
a unital associative algebra over generated by subject to
the relations \begin{align*} [H,E]=2E, \qquad [H,F]=-2F, \qquad [E,F]=H.
\end{align*} The distinguished central element is called the Casimir element of . The universal Hahn
algebra is a unital associative algebra over with
generators and the relations assert that and each of
\begin{align*} \alpha=[C,A]+2A^2+B, \qquad \beta=[B,C]+4BA+2C \end{align*} is
central in . The distinguished central element is called the Casimir element of
. By investigating the relationship between the Terwilliger
algebras of the hypercube and its halved graph, we discover the algebra
homomorphism that sends
\begin{eqnarray*} A &\mapsto & \frac{H}{4}, \\ B & \mapsto &
\frac{E^2+F^2+\Lambda-1}{4}-\frac{H^2}{8}, \\ C & \mapsto & \frac{E^2-F^2}{4}.
\end{eqnarray*} We determine the image of and show that the kernel
of is the two-sided ideal of generated by and
. By pulling back via each
-module can be regarded as an -module. For each
integer there exists a unique -dimensional irreducible
-module up to isomorphism. We show that the -module () is a direct sum of two non-isomorphic irreducible
-modules
Investigating the Relationship between Dietary Sodium Intake and Severity Levels of Fluid Overload Symptoms in Patients with Heart Failure
Aim: This study aimed to investigate dietary sodium intake levels and to explore the relationship between those levels and the severity of fluid overload symptoms.Background: The management of dietary sodium is an important nursing intervention in the care of patients with heart failure stemming from fluid overload. Recommendations for the intake of dietary sodium among heart failure patients were discussed. If a heart failure patient’s dietary sodium intake habits are understood, then the relationship between this intake and fluid overload can be elucidated. This knowledge would be beneficial for nursing intervention in cases of heart failure.Methods: A total of 98 patients selected from cardiology wards who had a diagnosis of heart failure were enrolled in this study. Their dietary sodium intake level was estimated from a 24-hour urinary sodium excretion analysis. The severity of fluid overload symptoms was assessed using the fluid volume overload symptoms scale. Results: This study showed that the mean dietary sodium intake for patients with heart failure was 2.49 g/day and that this intake had no correlation with the severity levels of fluid overload symptoms. Conclusions: Using the patients’ own perceptions of the severity of fluid overload symptoms as a reference, adopting more relaxed sodium dietary intake restrictions may lead patients to have better food consumption habits
