AbstractIntroduction: Dietary habits are established from a very young age. Parental role modeling is an important factor influencing the eating behavior of their children. Drinking behavior may have an impact in the development of childhood obesity. This study aimed to explore the correlations of core drinking beverages between parents and their children.Materials and Methods: The present study included children of 3.5–5.5 years and their parents from the (Multifactorial evidence-based approach using behavioral models in understanding and promoting fun, healthy food, play and policy for the prevention of obesity in early childhood) ToyBox study. The study was a kindergarten-based family-involved intervention, in preschool children from six European countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Poland, and Spain. For this study, we analyzed data from the baseline cross-sectional survey.Data on consumption frequency of water, homemade or fresh fruit juice, prepacked fruit juice, light beverages and sugared sweetened beverages consumption from parents and their children was obtained via a validated food frequency questionnaire. Parents were given examples of serving sizes and asked about how to self-report their usual consumption per day or week. Beverage consumption of children was reported by their parents and information about frequency and portion sizes was collected. Body weight and height of children was measured and classified according to the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Bivariate correlations were performed to analyze beverage consumption (servings per day) in children and their parents.Results: The studied sample included 5266 pairs of children (49.2% girls) and parents (91.7% women) that were included in the analysis.Girls presented higher correlations in water (r2 = 0,317) and sugar sweetened beverages (r2 = 0,302), whereas boys, presented slightly higher correlations of light soft drinks (r2 = 0,273), pure fruit juices (r2 = 0,308) and prepacked fruit juices (r2 = 0,324), all of them at < 0.01 level of significance. Considering boys and girls together, a slightly higher significant correlation coefficients were found between children-parents’ dyads with overweight/obesity compared to normal weight children-parentś for sugar sweetened beverages (r2 = 0,303) and light soft drinks (r2 = 0,396).Discussion: Beverage consumption of children and their parents were found to be moderately correlated. Overweight children seem to have better correlations with their parents in relation of sugar sweetened beverages and light soft drinks. Parents should encourage a healthy beverage consumption for their own health and most important, because there are key role models to their children.

AbstractDietary salt intake in most countries is far beyond the recommended level and many countries have initiated national programs to decrease salt intake. However, potential adverse effects of reducing salt intake in the general population are currently discussed. Hence some randomized studies have shown adverse effects on plasma lipids, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and the sympathetic nervous system, which may again increase risk of CVD. These findings are however mainly based on short-term studies with a very large acute salt reduction. This study aims to explore the effect of gradually reducing salt intake in a real life setting according to recommendations, and to examine the effect of different salt reduction strategies among families.The study was a 4-month cluster randomized controlled trial with families randomly assigned to either A) salt reduced bread, B) salt reduced bread and dietary counselling or C) standard bread (control) Participants in intervention A received bread gradually reduced in salt content from 1.2 g salt/100 g (regular) to 0.6 g salt/100 g in ryebread and 0.4 g salt/100 g in wheat bread. Participants in intervention B received the same salt reduced bread and in addition, they received dietary advise on how to further reduce their salt intake and promote potassium. The control group received regular bread. Changes in outcomes were assessed using linear mixed models.Results: A total of 89 families (155 adults; 156 children) from the suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark, participated in the study (February-July 2018). A total of 291 (94%) participants completed the intervention. Results presented are preliminary.Intention to treat analyses showed no significant effects of the salt reduction intervention on changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, plasma triglyceride. A small, but significant (-0.26 mmol/l; P = 0.02) decrease in total plasma cholesterol was shown in intervention group A. A similar, but non-significant, tendency was found in intervention group B. (more results will follow).Subgroup analyses, including only participants in the intervention groups that decreased their salt intake by at least 20% from baseline to 4-month follow-up, showed a significant decrease in diastolic (-3.5 mmHg; P < 0.0001) and systolic (-6.3 mmHg; P < 0.0001) blood pressure, total plasma cholesterol (-0.25 mmol/l; P = 0.0009), LDL plasma cholesterol (logarithm transformed) (-6%; P = 0.03) and plasma triglyceride (logarithm transformed) (-17%; P = 0.04). No significant effects were found for HDL plasma cholesterol, aldosterone, renin, plasma glucose and HbA1c.Conclusion: Reduced salt intake were associated with beneficial changes in cardiovascular risk factors. No adverse effects were observed.

AbstractBackgroundLittle is known about the determinants of community integration (i.e. recovery) for individuals with a history of homelessness, yet such information is essential to develop targeted interventions.MethodsWe recruited homeless Veterans with a history of psychotic disorders and evaluated four domains of correlates of community integration: perception, non-social cognition, social cognition, and motivation. Baseline assessments occurred after participants were engaged in supported housing services but before they received housing, and again after 12 months. Ninety-five homeless Veterans with a history of psychosis were assessed at baseline and 53 returned after 12 months. We examined both cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships with 12-month community integration.ResultsThe strongest longitudinal association was between a baseline motivational measure and social integration at 12 months. We also observed cross-sectional associations at baseline between motivational measures and community integration, including social, work, and independent living. Cross-lagged panel analyses did not suggest causal associations for the motivational measures. Correlations with perception and non-social cognition were weak. One social cognition measure showed a significant longitudinal correlation with independent living at 12 months that was significant for cross-lagged analysis, consistent with a causal relationship and potential treatment target.ConclusionsThe relatively selective associations for motivational measures differ from what is typically seen in psychosis, in which all domains are associated with community integration. These findings are presented along with a partner paper (Study 2) to compare findings from this study to an independent sample without a history of psychotic disorders to evaluate the consistency in findings regarding community integration across projects.
English spelling: Beyond the rules of spelling shun-words

As is well known, English spelling is a major problem even to native speakers. In Achiri-Taboh (2018a), I present arguments for a synchronic base-word-based rule for the spelling of shun-words, given the notoriously troubling variation in the spelling of their ending as underlined here in words like fraction, dictation, equation, and persuasion (with a t-form) and extension, collision, and expression (with an s-form). My (2018a) rule is summarized as follows:

What we talk about when we talk about Jerusalem: The duty of non-recognition and the prospects for peace after the US embassy’s relocation to the Holy City
Authors: Pertile Marco , Faccio Sondra 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe article addresses the legality of the relocation of the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in light of the duty of non-recognition and the international consensus on the two-state solution. Analysing the massive reaction of states to the United States administration’s decision, the article takes stock of the practice on the status of Jerusalem and on the Israeli-Palestinian issue more broadly. The authors conclude that the almost unanimous negative reaction of states and their commitment to the two-state solution will remain a dead letter if the solution to the crisis is left to a future bilateral agreement.
Natural language generation: The commercial state of the art in 2020
Authors: Dale Robert 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIt took a while, but natural language generation is now an established commercial software category. It’s commented upon frequently in both industry media and the mainstream press, and businesses are willing to pay hard cash to take advantage of the technology. We look at who’s active in the space, the nature of the technology that’s available today and where things might go in the future.

AbstractWe present the physical properties of Lyα emitters (LAEs) in a “DLA-concentrated regions” where there are 3 or more DLA within (50 Mpc)3 cubic box. We observed LAEs in a DLA-concentrated region at z = 2.3, the J1230+34 field, with Subaru/Suprime-Cam. In the 50 Mpc scale, we found no deferences in properties of LAEs such as Lyα luminosity function in the DLA-concentrated region compared to other fields at similar redshift. On the other hand, we found a ∼10 Mpc scale LAE overdensity around a strong DLA with NHI = 1021.08 cm−2.

AbstractBrightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) residing in cool-core clusters are known to be the stage of intricate baryon cycle phenomena (e.g. gas inflows, AGN outflows, star formation feedback). The scenarios describing the observed properties of these galaxies are still controversial, suffering from limitations due to the spatial resolving power of the instruments, specifically for galaxies beyond the Local Universe. However, the dramatic improvements introduced by the integral-field unit instruments (e.g. MUSE) could shed light on the physical processes driving the evolution of these galaxies. We present an extensive analysis of the stellar and gas properties (i.e. kinematics, stellar mass, star formation rate) of the radio-loud BCG sitting at the centre of the X-ray luminous cool-core cluster Abell 2667 (z = 0.23), based on MUSE data. Our results indicate that the BCG is a massive elliptical, hosting an AGN that is possibly undergoing accretion of cold star-forming clouds of ICM or galactic cannibalism.
Galactic outflows in star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 6 studied with deep UV spectra and ALMA emission line

Published: June 2020

AbstractWe present a velocity of galactic outflows in star-forming galaxies at the highest redshift, z ∼ 6, so far studied with metal absorption lines. Absorption-line studies of galactic outflows need well-determined redshifts, but there are few strong emission lines in the observed-frame optical spectra of galaxies at high redshifts. In this work, we use the systemic redshifts determined by the ALMA [CII]158 μm emission lines. The sample consists of seven Lyman break galaxies at 5.1 < z < 5.7 whose Keck/DEIMOS and ALMA data are available in the archive. The outflow maximum velocity (νmax) is estimated by a fitting of line profiles to metal absorption lines in a composite spectrum. We find that νmax monotonically increases from z ∼ 0 to 6 and that νmax tightly correlates with the halo circular velocity estimated from the stellar mass.
X-ray spectral model from clumpy torus and its application to Circinus galaxy
Authors: Tanimoto Atsushi 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe construct an X-ray spectral model for the clumpy torus in an active galactic nucleus (AGN), utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation for Astrophysics and Cosmology framework (MONACO: Odaka et al.2016). The geometry of the torus is the same as that in Nenkova et al. (2008), which assumes a power law distribution of clumps in the radial direction and a normal distribution in the elevation direction. We apply our model to the broadband X-ray spectrum of the Circinus galaxy observed with XMM-Newton, Suzaku, and NuSTAR. Our model can well reproduce the observed X-ray spectrum, yielding a hydrogen column density along the line-of-sight ${N_{\rm{H}}^{\rm{LOS}}} = 4.86_{ - 0.04}^{ + 0.07} \times {10^{24}}$ cm−2 and a torus angular width ${sigma = 14.7_{ - 0.39}^{ + 0.44}}$ degree.
A hierarchical bayesian dust SED model and its application to the nearby universe
Authors: Galliano Frédéric 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn this paper, I review several dust evolution studies based on the DustPedia nearby galaxy sample. I first present the dust spectral energy distribution model, implementing a hierarchical Bayesian method, that we have developed. I then discuss the dust evolution trends we have derived among (integrated) and within (resolved) galaxies. In particular, we show that the trend of dust-to-gas ratio with metallicity is clearly non-linear, indicating the need for grain growth in the interstellar medium. Our trend is closer to the one derived with damped Lyα systems than what was suggested by previous studies. We finally demonstrate the universal processing of small amorphous carbon grains by stellar photons.
The environment of large equivalent width Lyα emitters at z ∼ 3
Authors: Kida Arisa , Kikuta Satoshi , Matsuda Yuichi 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe present the environmental properties of a sample of 260 Lyα emitters (LAEs) with extremely large equivalent widths (EW0 > 240 Å) at z ∼ 3. Such large EW LAEs may be very low-metal / young starbursts in void regions or Hi gas /galaxies illuminated by ionizing radiation from the QSO. We undertook Subaru/HSC Lyα imaging observations around a hyper luminous QSO at z = 2.84. We identified 3490 LAEs including 260 large EW LAEs. We found that the large EW LAEs tend to lie at galaxy over-dense regions surrounding the QSO, suggesting that most of the large EW LAEs are illuminated by the QSO. From the radial distribution of the large EW LAEs from the QSO, we found that the fraction of large EW LAE shows two excesses in the range of 2 to 5 Mpc and 14 to 16 Mpc from the QSO. If the two peaks are reflected with the QSO activity, the QSO should have episodic lifetimes with ∼10 Myr duration and ∼30 Myr separations. However, we require future spectroscopic observations to investigate if the large EW LAEs far from the QSO are low-metal young starbursts.

AbstractWe study star formation and metallicity enrichment histories of 24 massive galaxies at 1.6 < z < 2.5. Deep slitless spectroscopy + imaging data set collected from multiple HST surveys allows robust determination of their SEDs. Our new SED modeling with no functional assumptions on star formation histories revels that 1. most of the sample galaxies have already formed >50% of their extant masses ∼1.5 Gyr before the time of observed redshifts, with a trend where more massive galaxies form earlier, 2. most of our galaxies already have stellar metallicities compatible with those of local early-type galaxies, and 3. inferred metallicities are on average ∼ 0.25 dex higher than observed gas-phase metallicities of star forming galaxies at the time of their formation. Continuation of low-level star formation, rather than abrupt termination of star forming activity, may explain the observed gap of metallicities.
Bayesian discrimination of the panchromatic spectral energy distribution modelings of galaxies
Authors: Han Yunkun , Han Zhanwen , Fan Lulu 
Published: June 2020

AbstractFitting the multi-wavelength spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies is a widely used technique to extract information about the physical properties of galaxies. However, a major difficulty lies in the numerous uncertainties regarding almost all ingredients of the SED modeling of galaxies. The Bayesian methods provide a consistent conceptual basis for dealing with the problem of inference with many uncertainties. While the Bayesian parameter estimation method have become quite popular in the field of SED fitting of galaxies, the Bayesian model comparison method, which is based on the same Bayes’ rule, is still not widely used in this field. With the application of Bayesian model comparison method in a series of papers, we show that the results obtained with Bayesian model comparison are understandable in the context of stellar/galaxy physics. These results indicate that Bayesian model comparison is a reliable and very powerful method for the SED fitting of galaxies.
The diagnostic power of radio spectra from star-forming galaxies
Authors: Murphy Eric J. 
Published: June 2020

AbstractRadio continuum emission from galaxies is powered by a combination of distinct physical processes, each providing unique diagnostic information. Over frequencies spanning ∼ 1–120 GHz, radio spectra of star-forming galaxies are primarily comprised of: (1) non-thermal synchrotron emission powered by accelerated cosmic-ray electrons/positrons; (2) free-free emission from young massive star-forming (H ii) regions; (3) anomalous microwave emission, which is a dominant, but completely unconstrained, foreground in cosmic microwave background experiments; and (4) cold, thermal dust emission that accounts for most of the dust and total mass content in the interstellar medium in galaxies. In this proceeding, we discuss these key energetic processes that contribute to the radio emission from star-forming galaxies, with an emphasis on frequencies ≳30 GHz, where current investigations of star formation within nearby galaxies show that the free-free emission begins to dominate over non-thermal synchrotron emission. We also discuss how planned radio facilities that will access these frequencies, such as a next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA), will be transformative to our understanding of the star formation process in galaxies.
Going beyond galaxy ages with dense basis star formation history reconstruction
Authors: Iyer Kartheik G. , Gawiser Eric 
Published: June 2020

AbstractPanchromatic SED fitting allows us to better resolve degeneracies between quantities like the star formation rate and dust. This in turn allows us to more robustly extract information about the different stellar populations that comprise a galaxy’s Star Formation History (SFH). Using the Dense Basis SED fitting method (Iyer & Gawiser 2017), we reconstruct the SFHs with uncertainties for a large sample of galaxies using an atlas of SEDs corresponding to a physically motivated basis of SFHs. Using Gaussian Process Regression, we encode the parameters describing these SFHs in a functionally independent form. This give us more robust estimates for quantities like Stellar Masses and Star Formation Rates, that directly depend on the SFH. These SFHs can additionally be used to answer questions like the time at which a galaxy’s star formation peaked, and how many major episodes of star formation occurred in a galaxy’s past, allowing us to go beyond the traditionally estimated ‘Galaxy Age’, which is often poorly constrained. They also allow us to probe the high-redshift low-stellar mass regime of the SFR-M* correlation by constructing trajectories in SFR-M* space for each galaxy.

Published: June 2020

AbstractPanchromatic modeling is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal to measure reliably the physical properties of galaxies across cosmic times. We present here an entirely new implementation in python of one such tool: CIGALE. Developed along three main design principles: simplicity, modularity, and efficiency, it has proven to be a versatile code that in addition to estimating the physical properties of galaxies (or regions within galaxies), can generate arbitrary sets of theoretical models or be used as a library to build other tools. Among its defining features, it is a truly panchromatic code ranging from the far-ultraviolet to the radio that takes into account numerous physical components (including active nuclei or synchrotron emission), that can fit non-photometric data, handle upper limits, determine photometric redshifts, and even build mock catalogs.
First [NII] 122 μm line detection in a starburst pair at z = 4.7
Authors: Lee Minju M. , Nagao Tohru , De Breuck Carlos 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe report the first detection of [NII] 122 μm line toward a QSO-SMG pair, BRI 1202-0725, at z = 4.7 using ALMA. Combining with [NII] 205 μm line detection and taking the line ratio of [NII]122/[NII]205, we constrain electron densities of both galaxies. The derived electron densities are ${26_{ - 11}^{ + 12}$ and ${134_{ - 39}^{ + 50}$ cm−3 for the SMG and the QSO, respectively, which are the first measurements for galaxies at z > 4. The electron density of the SMG is comparable to the Galactic plane and the average of local spiral galaxies, while the value for the QSO is comparable to local starbursts and optical-line based measurements for star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 2–3. Considering the similar star-formation rates (SFRs) of ≍ 1000 M⊙ yr−1 for both galaxies, our results suggest a large scatter of electron densities at fixed SFR and caution against using optical lines for dusty starbursts. The details of this report are presented in Lee et al. 2019 (submitted).
