Upaya Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Sejarah Indonesia Materi Perkembangan Kolonialisme dan Imperialisme Eropa Melalui Model Pembelajaran Diskusi Siswa Kelas XI IPS2 SMA Negeri 1 Candung
Authors: Nurmiati Nurmiati
Published: December 2022

This research is motivated by irregularities in learning, starting from students' lack of enthusiasm in learning history which is seen as less active in learning in class. It was found that in learning many students did not listen to what the teacher explained in front of the class, so many students could not repeat what had been explained, for example the teacher asked students to tell stories and so on. From this it is very influential on student learning outcomes at the end of learning. This study aims to obtain information and discuss the Efforts to Improve Learning Outcomes of Indonesian History Material on the Development of European Colonialism and Imperialism Through Discussion Learning Models for Class XI IPS2 Students of SMA Negeri 1 Cdungung. This research is included in the type of classroom action research (CAR). The location of this research is at SMAN 1 CKL, Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province.

Performance or Progress? The Physical and Rhetorical Removal of Indigenous Peoples in Settler Land Acknowledgments at Land-Grab Universities
Authors: Ambo Theresa , Rocha Beardall Theresa
Published: December 2022

Land acknowledgments are an evolving practice to recognize local Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of their homelands. Using a content and discourse analysis, we conduct the first empirical study of U.S. land acknowledgment statements focusing on the 47 land-grab universities created under the 1862 Morrill Act. We find that LGUs tend to adopt statements in urban areas, where federally recognized tribes are present, and at institutions with over 100 enrolled Native American students. Land acknowledgment statements also commonly name local Indigenous Peoples yet often fail to articulate their responsibilities to them, include superficial gestures, and center multicultural language. We offer “rhetorical removal” to describe the tendency of land-grab universities to deploy language that selectively erases Indigenous Peoples and, thus, argue that statements must directly address settler colonial legacies of violence and redistribute material support for Indigenous students and partnerships with Native nations.

What is the source of infections causing invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella disease?
Authors: Chirwa Esmeda B. , Dale Helen , Gordon Melita A. , Ashton Philip
Published: December 2022

Invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease is a clinical condition distinct from Salmonella gastroenteritis. With an overall case fatality rate of 14.5% iNTS remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the sources of infections that lead to cases of iNTS remain unclear. Broadly, there are two hypotheses as to the source of infections i) transmission from a zoonotic reservoir, similar to other non-typhoidal Salmonelloses or ii) person-to-person transmission. Recently, there have been a number of studies that have addressed the question “what is the source of infections causing invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella disease?”. Here we review those studies, divided into i) comparisons of isolates from iNTS cases, their household members, animals and environments ii) investigations of meat pathway, animal and water source iii) associations between environmental factors and iNTS iv) presence of iNTS associated sub-types of NTS in diarrhoea cases and controls.

Istilah komunikasi atau dalam bahasa Inggris communication berasal dari kata Latin communication, dan bersumber dari kata communis yang berarti sama. Sama disini maksudnya adalah sama makna. Jadi kalau dua orang terlibat dalam komunikasi, misalnya dalam bentuk precakapan, maka komunikasi akan terjadi atau berlangsung selama ada kesamaan makna mengenai apa yang percakapkan. Kesamaan bahasa yang dipergunakan dalam percakapan itu belum tentu menimbulkan kesamaan makna. Dengan lain perkataan, mengerti bahasa belum tentu mengerti makna, percakapan komunikaif apabilah kedua-duanya, selain mengerti bahasa yang digunakan, juga mengerti makna. Komunikasi tidak hanya sampai pada informatif (mengerti dan tahu) akan tetapi juga persuasif yaitu orang lain bersedia menerima suatu paham atau keyakinan, melakukan suatu perbuatan atau kegiatan
Differential expression of thymosin beta 10 in triple negative breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: December 2022

Women diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer can benefit neither from endocrine therapy nor from HER2-targeted therapies (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with triple negative breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding thymosin beta 10, TMSB10, when comparing the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer to normal mammary ductal cells (2). TMSB10 was also differentially expressed in the brain metastases of patients with brain metastatic breast cancer (3). TMSB10 mRNA was present at significantly increased quantities in TNBC tumor cells relative to normal mammary ductal cells. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of TMSB10 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A type cancer, while within triple negative breast cancer, primary tumor expression of TMSB10 was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with immunomodulatory subtype disease. TMSB10 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of triple negative breast cancers.
Increased fiber density of the fornix in patients with chronic tinnitus revealed by diffusion-weighted MRI
Authors: Rosemann Stephanie , Rauschecker Josef P.
Published: December 2022

Up to 45% of the elderly population suffer from chronic tinnitus - the phantom perception of sound that is often perceived as ringing, whistling or hissing “in the ear” without external stimulation. Previous research investigated white-matter changes in tinnitus patients using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) to assess measures such as fractional anisotropy (a measure of microstructural integrity of fiber tracts) or mean diffusivity (a measure for general water diffusion). However, findings overlap only minimally and are sometimes even contradictory. We here present the first study encompassing higher diffusion data that allow to focus on changes in tissue microstructure, such as number of axons (fiber density) and macroscopic alterations, including axon diameter (fiber bundle cross section), as well as a combination of both measures. In order to deal with the crossing-fibers-problem, we applied a fixel-based analysis using a constrained spherical deconvolution signal modeling approach. We investigated differences between tinnitus patients and control participants as well as how cognitive abilities and tinnitus distress are related to changes in white matter morphology in chronic tinnitus. For that aim, 20 tinnitus patients and 20 control participants, matched in age, sex and hearing loss, underwent DWI, audiometric and cognitive assessments, and filled in questionnaires targeting anxiety and depression. Our results showed increased fiber density in the fornix in tinnitus patients compared to control participants. The fornix, as a major output pathway of the hippocampus, constitutes an important part of the limbic system. The observed changes might, therefore, reflect compensatory structural alterations related to the processing of negative emotions accompanying chronic tinnitus.
ON THE MODEIFIED CAPUTO’S DERIVATIVE OPERATOR
Authors: Salah Jamal
Published: December 2022

The main subject of this study coincides with the recently adapted methodology in the theory of univalent functions via applications of fractional calculus. The Caputo's definition of fractional derivative of order 𝛼 has not been obviously applied in the field. However, it plays a vital role in other areas like physics and engineering due to its simple restrictions compared to Liouville's integral operator. By modifying the Caputo's derivative operator, a new modified Caputo's operator is defined in this book. Consequently, new subclasses of analytic functions are introduced, and basic properties, such as distortion theorems, extremal functions, coefficient bounds, the integral transform, superordination and subordination results are discussed. The radii of basic well known properties (Univalency, Starlikeness, Convexity) are also obtained for the new subclasses. Moreover, some results of the modified Hadamard product (convolution) are provided by applying the famous Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. In order to expand the application of the modified Caputo's operator, two new subclasses of analytic p-valent functions are introduced and investigated through the concepts of neighbourhood and inclusion relations. Further, the definition of Univalency with respect to 1 together with subordination are used to solve a sharp functional of Fekete-Szegö problem. Moreover, some interesting results related to Hankel determinant are obtained.
The Entropic Information : The Dark Side of the Entangled Informational Universe
Authors: denis olivier
Published: December 2022

The entropic information formula of black holes based on the mass of the bit of information Which calculates the entropy of Hawking radiation as the entangled information of the black hole initially considered, and this, down to the quantum level, the degrees of freedom, describes the black hole regardless of the law of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, by providing a sufficient microscopic description of how this entropy arises. This black holes entropic information formula is equal to the black hole entropy also equal to the universal Bekenstein bound, and equal regarding Casini’s work to the Von Neumann entropy. With the black hole entropy horizon law which turns out to be a special case of the Ryu–Takayanagi conjecture viewed as a general formula for the fine-grained entropy of quantum systems coupled to gravity, the emphasis on the process of emergence of quantum gravity through the fundamentality of entangled quantum information has been proposed.The entropic information formula of black holes based on the mass of the bit of information Which calculates the entropy of Hawking radiation as the entangled information of the black hole initially considered, and this, down to the quantum level, the degrees of freedom, describes the black hole regardless of the law of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, by providing a sufficient microscopic description of how this entropy arises.

Published: December 2022

This paper presents the design of a GaN constant-Gm transconductor for smart-power applications. The proposed solution exploits source degeneration to linearize the transconductance and three cascode current mirrors to increase the transconductance and provide differential to single-ended conversion.Moreover, a biasing section is added to cope with thewide process spread, especially in threshold voltages, of both enhancement and depletion GaN transistors. Nominal simulation results show that the proposed transconductor, supplied from 6-V and biased with 655 μA provides 1 mS transconductance, within a linear differential input range of ±100 mV up to more than 10MHz.
Differential expression of phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 2 gamma in triple negative breast cancer.

Women diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer can benefit neither from endocrine therapy nor from HER2-targeted therapies (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with triple negative breast cancer.

PIK3C2G was also differentially expressed in bulk tumor in human breast cancer (3). PIK3C2G mRNA was present at significantly decreased quantities in TNBC tumor cells relative to normal mammary ductal cells. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PIK3C2G in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival, both in patients with HER2+ type cancer and in patients with mesenchymal subtype disease strictly within triple negative breast cancer. PIK3C2G may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of triple negative breast cancers.
Frequency Compensation Scheme for a Full GaN OpAmp driving 1-nF load
Authors: Pennisi Salvatore , Pulvirenti Francesc , Samperi Katia
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a frequency compensationscheme of a full GaN operational amplifier for smart power applications. The amplifier is based on a previous topology originally developed for nMOS technology and here adapted for a modern GaN process. The solution is able to drive a capacitive load as high as 1 nF and a suitable design strategy has been developed. The operational amplifier exhibits a very high nominal DC gain of about 135 dB, a unity-gain bandwidth of about 560 kHz with 60° phase margin, a slew rate of about 0.83 V/us and a nominal quiescent current consumption of 200?A from a 6-V supply.
Riemann and Big Bang Hypotheses
Authors: Salah Jamal
Published: December 2022

In this study, we suggest an alternative to the well-known Big Bang theory. The hypothesis that the universe began as a collision between two or more dense fireballs is discussed. Universe expansion and shrinkage are considered consequences of species creation and death. Moreover, the concept of real versus the virtual existence of the universe is evoked. Furthermore, we posit the existence of a Mega universe that bounds two or more parallel universes. Possible scenarios for the end of the universe are also investigated. The study considers a mathematical model of Bing Bang associated with the famous Riemann hypothesis.
Simulation requires activation of self-knowledge to change self-concept
Authors: Schneider MJ , Rubin-McGregor Jordan , Elder Jacob , Hughes Brent , Tamir Diana
Published: December 2022

Individual self-concept can be altered through simulating others, an effect known as Simulation Induced Malleability (SIM). How does imagining others shift the self? We propose that the activation of self-knowledge is the key factor by which simulation of others alters self-concept. We test this possibility across five studies that each manipulate activation of self-knowledge during simulation, and measure the impact on self-concept change. Results consistently demonstrate that increasing spontaneous activation of self-knowledge enhances self-concept change. In circumstances where people did not spontaneously activate self-knowledge during simulation (i.e., when imagining dissimilar others), explicit self-knowledge activation was necessary to elicit self-concept change. In addition, individuals who are less likely to recruit self-knowledge (i.e., older adults) during simulation were less susceptible to self-concept change. These studies highlight self-knowledge activation as an essential component that drives the effects of simulation on self-concept change.

Published: December 2022

Domain-level findings of personality change are fairly consistent across middle to older age; however, less agreement exists on personality change at the lower-order facet-level for this age group. The present study investigated personality change at both the domain and facet-level over the course of a four-year longitudinal study in N = 452 older adults who responded to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center (Mage = 55 years, SD = 0.41). Participants completed the Faceted Inventory of the Five-Factor Model (FI-FFM, Watson et al., 2019) and the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2, Soto & John, 2017) at four waves across four years. Latent growth modeling showed significant mean level decreases in Openness, Neuroticism, and Extraversion at the domain level. At the facet-level, significant decreases were found for Aesthetic Sensitivity, Creative Imagination, Intellectual Curiosity, Anxiety, Anger Proneness, Positive Temperament, Venturesomeness, Ascendence, Empathy, Trust, and Achievement Striving. Regressions from exposure level, age, and sex on personality change were examined and significant effects were also observed. Results highlight the importance of facet-level analysis, as significant change was found only for certain facets within domains—sometimes when the domains showed no change. WTC responders have a shared unique trauma and personality change findings may allow for clinically useful information on the mental health problems that responders experience.
Navigating puberty, identity, and race among transnationally, transracially adopted Korean American adolescents
Authors: Wu Christine S. , Kim Adam Y , Seaton Eleanor , Carter Rona , Lee Richard M.
Published: December 2022

This exploratory study examined the relation between pubertal timing and dimensions of ethnic-racial identity among adopted Korean Americans raised transracially in White families. The study also examined whether internalized racism moderated the association between pubertal timing and ethnic-racial identity. Adopted Korean American adolescents (N = 202; 108 females; ages 13-19 years) completed measures of pubertal development, ethnic-racial identity, and internalized racism in 2007. There was no significant main effect of pubertal timing for either male or female adolescents. Internalized racism moderated the relation between pubertal timing and ethnic-racial identity clarity (B = -.16, p = .015) among male adolescents. Specifically, earlier pubertal timing was significantly associated with lower ethnic-racial identity clarity for male adolescents with higher levels of internalized racism.
Real-time Detection of Mean and Variance Changes in Experience Sampling Data: A Comparison of Existing and Novel Statistical Process Control Approaches
Authors: Schat Evelien , tuerlinckx francis , De Ketelaere Bart , Ceulemans Eva
Published: December 2022

Retrospective analyses of experience sampling (ESM) data have shown that changes in mean and variance levels may serve as early warning signs of an imminent depression. Detecting such early warning signs prospectively would pave the way for timely intervention and prevention. The exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) procedure seems a promising method to scan ESM data for the presence of mean changes in real-time. Based on simulation and empirical studies, computing and monitoring day averages using EWMA works particularly well. We therefore expand this idea to the detection of variance changes and propose to use EWMA to prospectively scan for mean changes in day variability statistics (i.e., s2, s, ln(s)). When both mean and variance changes are of interest, the multivariate extension of the EWMA procedure (MEWMA) can be applied to both the day averages and a day statistic of variability. We evaluate these novel approaches to detecting variance changes by comparing them to EWMA-type procedures that have been specifically developed to detect a combination of mean and variance changes in the raw data: EWMA-S2 and EWMA-ln(S2). We ran a simulation study to examine the performance of the two types of approaches in detecting mean, variance or both types of changes. The results indicate that monitoring day statistics using (M)EWMA works well and outperforms the EWMA-S2 and EWMA-ln(S2) procedures. Based on the results, we provide recommendations on which statistic of variability to monitor based on the type of change (i.e., variance increase or decrease) one expects.
High level of correspondence across different news domain quality rating sets
Authors: Lin Hause , Lasser Jana , Lewandowsky Stephan , Cole Rocky , Gully Andrew , Rand David Gertler , Pennycook Gordon
Published: December 2022

One widely used approach for quantifying misinformation consumption and sharing is to evaluate the quality of the news domains a user interacts with. However, different media organizations and fact-checkers have produced different sets of news domain quality ratings, raising questions about the reliability of these quality ratings. Here, we compared 6 sets of expert ratings and found that they generally correlated highly with one another. We then created a comprehensive set of domain ratings for use by the research community (github.com/hauselin/domain-quality-ratings), leveraging an ensemble “wisdom of experts” approach. To do so, we performed imputation together with principal component analysis to generate a set of aggregate ratings. The resulting rating set comprises 11,520 domains—the most extensive coverage to date—and correlates well with other rating sets that have more limited coverage. Together, these results suggest that experts generally agree on the relative quality of news domains, and the aggregate ratings we generate offer a powerful research tool for evaluating the quality of news consumed or shared and the efficacy of misinformation interventions.
Cortical tracking of visual rhythmic speech by 5- and 8-month-old infants: Individual differences in phase angle relate to language outcomes up to 2 years

Published: December 2022

It is known that the rhythms of speech are visible on the face, accurately mirroring changes in the vocal tract. These low-frequency visual temporal movements are tightly correlated with speech output, and both visual speech (for example, mouth motion) and the acoustic speech amplitude envelope entrain neural oscillations. Low-frequency visual temporal information (‘visual prosody’) is known from behavioural studies to be perceived by infants, but oscillatory studies are currently lacking. Here we measure cortical tracking of low-frequency visual temporal information by five- and eight-month-old infants using a rhythmic speech paradigm (repetition of the syllable “ta” at 2 Hz). Eye-tracking data was collected simultaneously with EEG, enabling computation of cortical tracking and phase angle during visual-only speech presentation. Significantly higher power at the stimulus frequency indicated that cortical tracking occurred across both ages. Further, individual differences in preferred phase to visual speech related to subsequent measures of language acquisition. The difference in phase between visual-only speech and the same speech presented as auditory-visual at 6- and 9-months was also examined. These neural data suggest that individual differences in early language acquisition may be related to the phase of entrainment to visual rhythmic input in infancy.
Discordant harmonization of multilateral higher education policies: Empirical evidence from the Bologna Process
Authors: Murasawa Masataka , Nakao Ran , Fan Yizhou , Oba Jun , Watanabe Satoshi P.
Published: December 2022

In pursuit of enhanced employability of university graduates, along with their increased mobility in a rapidly globalizing economy, colleges and universities in the world today participate in regional alliances and partnerships in which shared targets with mutually recognized degrees and curricula are sought across boundaries through transnational higher education policies. The Bologna Process is certainly exemplified as one of the most important multilateral efforts in the recent history of higher education in establishing such a system of quality assurance within the European Higher Education Area. Although the Member States of the Bologna Process endeavor to meet the standard benchmarks on the preset assessment criteria, the speed of policy implementation is found to vary widely across the participating countries. This paper attempts to identify the sources of such discrepancies in achieving the common policy targets among the Member States and explore, in particular, the extent to which varying stages of socio-economic as well as political development, along with indigenous ethnic and linguistic complexities and the peer effects from neighboring countries, affect the robust progress of implementing multilateral higher education policies. Our findings generally suggest significant impacts of these indigenous factors.
The Sociology of Children and Youth Morality
Authors: Abrutyn Seth , Goldman-Hasbun Julia
Published: December 2022

In this chapter, we make the case that cooperation is at the center of moral behavior by presenting insights on youth morality from neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary science. First, we discuss the gaps in the sociological literature concerning youth morality. Instead of studying youth morality explicitly, sociologists often use proxies for morality such as norms, values, and socialization that underplay both youth’s agency in shaping their moral worlds and their innate cooperative abilities. As such, we argue that sociologists’ neglect of youth morality obscures our understanding of the interaction between the socialized and the innate aspects of moral development and behavior. Next, we review existing bio-psychological research that points to the innate aspects of cooperation and why cooperation may have been evolutionarily adaptive. In looking at the moral behaviors of infants, we see that moral judgment, a preference for pro-social versus anti-social others, and the ability to coordinate action, precede norm following and norm enforcing behaviors. We conclude this chapter by discussing the exciting opportunities that could result from interdisciplinary work on the morality of youth, and present some ideas for future directions in the areas of socialization, property and politics, and moral judgment and decision-making.
Freedom of Speech and Democracy
Authors: Wilhelm Dagmar
Published: December 2022

In recent years ‘freedom of speech’ has been hotly contested, at times weaponised in political debates. Policies of ‘no-platforming’ and at times strong reactions, even protests, against certain speech have led some to worry about what they call ‘cancel culture’. In addition to the explicit fight over freedom of speech seen, for example, in current feminist debates, the last 18 months have seen a rise in the popularity and presence of conspiracy theories, including theories about Covid vaccinations and the Covid pandemic. Mixed in with the so-called ‘anti-vaxxers’ are a medley of conspiracy theorists ranging from climate change deniers, supporters of ‘ethnic replacement conspiracy theories’ through to the astonishingly long-lived, antisemitic myths about child sacrifice and world domination. The spread of such conspiracy theories is problematic if they directly or indirectly cause harm. Anti-vaccination conspiracy theories are harmful if they facilitate the spread of a deadly disease, or if they spread misinformation and thereby vilify (marginalised) individuals or groups and undermine the trust necessary for peaceful coexistence and cooperation in democratic societies.

However – while concern about such harms is important – freedom of speech is often regarded as such a basic right that any infringement has been considered harmful in itself. 

In this article I will look at two examples that pose challenges to freedom of speech and analyse them with reference to what I take to be the most plausible account of the grounds and scope of freedom of speech, a democratic defence of freedom of speech. Seeing freedom of speech as primarily grounded in democracy has important implications in situations when speech can be seen as harmful in a relevant sense and in consideration of what we can or should do about harmful speech. In the end I will suggest a possible way of weighing up value and dangers with respect to the cases and also in a broader sense.
Contested Narratives of the Pandemic Crisis
Authors: Cowden Stephen , Yuval-Davis Nira
Published: December 2022

This paper seeks to open a discussion about the role played by the extreme right within the contemporary ‘anti-vaxxer’ movement as it has developed during the recent Covid-19 pandemic.  While supporters of this movement are politically diverse, we see the far right as having used the Covid crisis as a significant opportunity to place their conspiratorial narrative before a wider audience, where a rhetoric of victimisation around pandemic related restrictions masks their deep authoritarianism and profound racism and misogyny. We discuss ‘white replacement’ theory as the key idea animating the contemporary far right, in both its secular and religious manifestations, and we argue that this theory has offered the framework for the far right’s opposition to vaccinations and public health related restrictions. Throughout the pandemic, the far right’s use of conspiracy theory and calculated disinformation – particularly online – has thrown up considerable dilemmas in relation to issues of freedom of speech for progressives. We conclude by discussing how the feminist anti-racist left must continue to defend freedom of speech in the face of this, but this understanding needs to be informed by a conception of the ‘common good’.
Teen Brides, Migrant Husbands and Religious Schooling
Authors: Kamal Marzana
Published: December 2022

In many Muslim communities across South Asia, children and adolescents access education through religious institutions such as madrassa. When analysing the impact of madrassa on gender equity and empowerment, many scholars downplay feminist criticism of these institutions on the basis that even non-religious schools promote traditional gender roles in the global south. Some research on Bangladesh explains that ‘modernised’ or government-recognised madrassa, where students learn secular academic topics in addition to Arabic and Quranic verses, help boost female educational attainment in conservative communities. In addition, scholars often resist criticism of madrassa and other local practices such as early marriage in the name of understanding non-Western norms and ideals. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in remote villages of northern Bangladesh, this paper analyses the impact of religious schooling on young women’s everyday lives and perspectives through the experiences of young brides who are married to labour migrant men. Some of these brides have attended secular school while others have attended traditional madrassa, and I attempt to understand how their educational backgrounds have informed their views on marriage and gender roles. In this article, I contest the claim that religious schooling and early marriage can facilitate rural women’s agency. I argue that advocating for modernised madrassa is problematic, unless the conflicting impacts of unrecognised/traditional madrassa on women’s agency are acknowledged.

Results on light (anti)nuclei production in Pb–Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC
Authors: Bartsch Esther
Published: December 2022

The high collision energies reached at the LHC lead to significant production yields of light (anti)nuclei in proton-proton, p–Pb and Pb–Pb collisions. Light (anti)nuclei are identified using their specific energy loss (dE/dx), measured in the Time Projection Chamber, and their velocity using the Time-Of-Flight detector. The excellent tracking and particle identification capabilities of the ALICE experiment, as well as its low material budget, make this detector unique for measurements of these rarely produced particles. Results on (anti)deuteron, (anti)triton, (anti)3He and (anti) He production in Pb–Pb collisions at p  sNN = 5.02 TeV, including their transverse momentum (pT) spectra, production  yields and coalescence parameters BA, are presented. These results will be compared to the expectations of coalescence and statistical hadronization models to obtain information on the production mechanism of light (anti)nuclei in heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, the first measurements of the d and 3He absorption cross section are shown.
Rivet and the analysis preservation in heavy-ion collisions experiments
Authors: Oliveira da Silva Antonio Carlos
Published: December 2022

The comparison of experimental data and theoretical predictions is important for our understanding of the mechanisms for interactions and particle production in hadron collisions, both at the Large Hadron Collider and at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider experiments. Several tools were ideated to help with that. Rivet (Robust Independent Validation of Experiment and Theory) is a framework that facilitates the comparison between measurements from high-energy physics experiments and Monte Carlo event generators able to produce outputs using the HepMC package. Rivet contains a repository with analysis algorithms developed by experiments, providing analysis documentation and preservation. The recent developments for the implementation of centrality and multiplicity classes in Rivet are presented in this contribution.
QCD Equilibrium and Dynamical Properties from Holographic Black Holes

Published: December 2022

By using gravity/gauge correspondence, we employ an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton model to compute the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium properties of a hot and baryon rich strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma. The family of 5-dimensional holographic black holes, which are constrained to mimic the lattice QCD equation of state at zero density, is used to investigate the temperature and baryon chemical potential dependence of the equation of state. We also obtained the baryon charge conductivity, and the bulk and shear viscosities with a particular focus on the behavior of these observables on top of the critical end point and the line of first order phase transition predicted by the model.
A look into the “hedgehog” events in pp collisions
Authors: Ortiz Antonio , Paic Guy
Published: December 2022

The UA1 and CDF collaborations have reported the presence of events with a very extended structure of low momentum tracks filling in a uniform way the η − ϕ phase space. However, these events have not caused interest with respect to the details of the interaction that provoke them. We have undertaken to study whether such events are predicted by present event generators like PYTHIA 8. We report the existence of events without any discernible jetty structure in high-multiplicity pp collisions. In the simulations those events originate from several parton-parton scatterings within the same pp collision. We introduce the event shape ρ (f latenicity) as a tool to tag those events in experiments.
Initializing BSQ with Open-Source ICCING

Published: December 2022

While it is well known that there is a significant amount of conserved charges in the initial state of nuclear collisions, the production of these due to gluon splitting has yet to be thoroughly investigated. The ICCING (Initial Conserved Charges in Nuclear Geometry) algorithm reconstructs these quark distributions, providing conserved strange, baryon, and electric charges, by sampling a given model for the g → qq¯ splitting function over the initial energy density, which is valid at top collider energies, even when µB = 0. The ICCING algorithm includes fluctuations in the gluon longitudinal momenta, a structure that supports the implementation of dynamical processes, and the c++ version is now open-source. A full analysis of parameter choices on the model has been done to quantify the effect these have on the underlying physics. We find there is a sustained difference across the different charges that indicates sensitivity to hot spot geometry.

Heavy Flavor Physics at the EIC with the ECCE detector
Authors: Li Xuan
Published: December 2022

The proposed Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will operate high-energy high-luminosity electron+proton and electron+nucleus collisions to solve several unresolved fundamental questions. Due to their large masses (mc,b > ΛQCD), heavy quarks and their hadron products are ideal probes to study the nucleon/nuclear parton distribution functions in the high Bjorken-x (xBJ > 0.1) region and explore the hadronization process within the unconstrained kinematic region. Recently, the Electron-Ion Collider Comprehensive Chromodynamics Experiment (ECCE) consortium detector conceptual design has been selected as the reference design for the EIC project detector. The precise momentum and spatial resolutions provided by the ECCE tracking detector enable a series of open heavy flavor and quarkonia measurements. The physics projections of these proposed heavy flavor measurements in simulation studies using the ECCE detector design will be presented.
