Time-reversal symmetry breaking in superconductors through loop supercurrent order
Authors: Ghosh Sudeep Kumar , Annett James F , Quintanilla Jorge
Published: July 2021

We propose a novel superconducting ground state where microscopic supercurrent loops form spontaneously within a unit cell at the superconducting transition temperature with only uniform, onsite and intra-orbital singlet pairing. As a result of the circulating currents time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is spontaneously broken in the superconducting state. Using Ginzburg–Landau theory we describe in detail how these currents emerge in a toy model. We discuss the crystallographic symmetry requirements more generally to realize such a state and show that they are met by the Re6
X (X = Zr, Hf, Ti) family of TRS-breaking, but otherwise seemingly conventional, superconductors. We estimate an upper bound for the resulting internal magnetic fields and find it to be consistent with recent muon-spin relaxation experiments.
Analytical full complex-amplitude control strategy for metasurface
Authors: Wu Chao , Li Quan , Zhao Song , Zhang Zhi-Hui , Wei Shi-Jie , Li Hong-Qiang
Published: July 2021

We proposed a meta-atom design strategy that can achieve full complex-amplitude modulation based on analytical method for circularly polarized waves. The meta-atom can be regarded as two cascaded quarter wave plates, the orientation angles of which provide two degrees of freedom for obtaining arbitrary amplitude and phase modulation through accurate analytical method. As verification, a microwave meta-atom is designed and used to realize lateral and axial dual focusing. The proposed design strategy provides a straightforward route for full, continuous control of both amplitude and phase, and can stimulate various advanced meta-devices.
Improving data-driven model-independent reconstructions and updated constraints on dark energy models from Horndeski cosmology
Authors: Reyes Mauricio , Escamilla-Rivera Celia
Published: July 2021

In light of the statistical performance of cosmological observations, in this work we present an improvement on the Gaussian reconstruction of the Hubble parameter data H(z) from Cosmic Chronometers, Supernovae Type Ia and Clustering Galaxies in a model-independent way in order to use them to study new constraints in the Horndeski theory of gravity. First, we have found that the prior used to calibrate the Pantheon supernovae data significantly affects the reconstructions, leading to a 13σ tension on the H
0 value. Second, according to the χ2-statistics, the reconstruction carried out by the Pantheon data calibrated using the H
0 value measured by The Carnegie-Chicago Hubble Program is the reconstruction which fits best the observations of Cosmic Chronometers and Clustering of Galaxies datasets. Finally, we use our reconstructions of H(z) to impose model-independent constraints in dark energy scenarios as Quintessence and K-essence from general cosmological viable Horndeski models, landscape in where we found that a Horndeski model of the K-essence type can reproduce the reconstructions of the late expansion of the universe within 2σ.
Does Planck actually “see” the Bunch-Davies state?
Authors: Baunach Rose , Bolis Nadia , Holman R. , Moltner Stacie , Richard Benoit J.
Published: July 2021

To what extent can the Planck satellite observations be interpreted as confirmation of the quantum part of the inflationary paradigm? Has it “seen” the Bunch-Davies state? We compare and contrast the Bunch-Davies interpretation with one using a so-called entangled state in which the fluctuations of a spectator scalar field are entangled with those of the metric perturbations ζ. We first show how a spectator scalar field Σ, with an expectation value σ(t) that evolves in time, will generically generate such a state. We then use this state to compute the power spectrum P
ζ(k) and thence the temperature anisotropies Cl
in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). We find interesting differences from the standard calculations using the Bunch-Davies (BD) state. We argue that existing data may already be used to place interesting bounds on this class of deviations from the BD state and that, for some values of the parameters of the state, the power spectra may be consistent with the Planck satellite data.
‘God Is Protecting Me … And I Have Mace’: Defensive Labour In Precarious Workplaces
Authors: Ladegaard Isak , Ravenelle Alexandrea J , Schor Juliet
Published: July 2021

Since the 1970s, welfare cuts and market deregulation have made jobs increasingly precarious and workers have been made responsible for their own safety. In this context, technological developments have recently paved the way for the gig economy, in which tasks and services are distributed on digital platforms. Drawing on interviews with 32 Uber and Lyft drivers in New York City and Boston, we document how the intersecting forces of precarity, responsibilization and organizational innovation spawn the need for ‘defensive labour’, that is, emotional and cognitive self-protective practices.
Unravelling the Mystery of Parole in China
Authors: Li Enshen
Published: July 2021

Across a burgeoning literature on punishment and society, the subject of parole has mostly been in the shadows of the disproportionate scholarly attention drawn to imprisonment. This article offers the first analytical examination of parole in China by addressing the fundamental question—why has early prison release been an underused instrument in the Chinese penal system for decades? By reflecting on the sociological perspective of punishment, my discussion situates Chinese parole in the wider sociopolitical context of penal development in order to reveal its distinctive position, structure and character within China’s criminal justice system. Using existing data publicly available and judicial parole decisions from China Judgments Online, this article posits that China’s parole system is devised primarily as a punitive preventive measure to control the release of prisoners back into society. Rather than being rehabilitative and re-integrative, parole is operationalized to incapacitate as well as punish those deemed dangerous with a (high) risk of recidivism.
CircRNA UBAP2 serves as a sponge of miR-1294 to increase tumorigenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma through regulating c-Myc expression

Published: July 2021

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of regulatory RNAs with complex roles in healthy and diseased tissues. However, the oncogenic role of circRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains poorly understood, including the mechanisms by which the circular ubiquitin-binding associated protein 2 (circUBAP2) contributes to tumorigenesis. We analyzed the expression of circUBAP2 in 20 paired samples of HCC and healthy tissue as well as in seven HCC cell lines via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Functional experiments, such as CCK8 viability assays, colony formation assays, wound healing, transwell assays and flow cytometry, were conducted to assess the effects of circUBAP2 in vitro. To further elucidate the mechanisms by which circUBAP2 acts, we conducted dual-luciferase assays, western blots, RNA pull-down assays and rescue experiments. CircUBAP2 was highly upregulated in most HCC tissues and was associated with poor prognosis. HCC patients with high circUBAP2 expression had greater vascular invasion and worse differentiation. Functionally, circUBAP2 overexpression enhanced HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion and inhibited apoptosis. Furthermore, we found that circUBAP2 upregulated c-Myc expression by sponging miR-1294, thus contributing to hepatocarcinogenesis. Inhibiting circUBAP2 expression in HCC attenuated the oncogenic effects of c-Myc. These findings suggest that circUBAP2 promotes HCC growth and metastasis. CircUBAP2 may have value as an independent prognostic biomarker or as a new target for the treatment of HCC.
