Albert Smith, l'Alpine Club et l’invention de l’alpinisme au milieu de l’ère Victorienne
Authors: Hansen Peter H. 
Published: December 2023

Le présent article tente d’expliquer pourquoi l’ascensionnisme devint populaire durant le milieu de l’ère Victorienne, et suggère la forte pertinence de l’alpinisme dans la construction de la culture impériale et de la culture de la nouvelle bourgeoisie. A travers sa personnalité, ses spectacles et sa popularité, Albert Smith incarne un ensemble de changements sociaux et culturels reliés entre eux, que les membres de la bourgeoisie de l’ Alpine Club instituèrent plus tard sous une forme de l’exploration impériale au travers de l’alpinisme Victorien.
Dans l’espace culturel créé par le spectacle d’Albert Smith, les hommes de l’Alpine Club combinaient des définitions contemporaines de la distinction et de la masculinité, avec la géographie impériale imaginée de la bourgeoisie Victorienne. L’alpinisme aida à la légitimation de l’exploration et de la large expansion impériale en transformant l’impérialisme d’une abstraction en quelque chose de tangible et réellement accessible pour les hommes ambitieux de la classe professionnelle.
Si les ascensions attiraient tant l’attention dans la Culture Britannique c’est parce que la manière dont elles représentaient la virilité et la puissance nationales étaient largement partagées. En effet, l’acceptation d’une culture populaire impériale à la fin du XIXe siècle n’apparut pas de novo ; elle se construisit sur l’invention de pratiques culturelles telles que l’alpinisme durant les décennies du milieu de l’ère Victorienne.

Key Points

d-Alanine affects the circadian clock to regulate gluconeogenesis in the kidney.
d-Alanine itself has a clear intrinsic circadian rhythm, which is regulated by urinary excretion, and acts on the circadian rhythm.
d-Alanine is a signal activator for circadian rhythm and gluconeogenesis through circadian transcriptional network.

Background
The aberrant glucose circadian rhythm is associated with the pathogenesis of diabetes. Similar to glucose metabolism in the kidney and liver, d-alanine, a rare enantiomer of alanine, shows circadian alteration, although the effect of d-alanine on glucose metabolism has not been explored. Here, we show that d-alanine acts on the circadian clock and affects glucose metabolism in the kidney.

Methods
The blood and urinary levels of d-alanine in mice were measured using two-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography system. Metabolic effects of d-alanine were analyzed in mice and in primary culture of kidney proximal tubular cells from mice. Behavioral and gene expression analyses of circadian rhythm were performed using mice bred under constant darkness.

Results

d-Alanine levels in blood exhibited a clear intrinsic circadian rhythm. Since this rhythm was regulated by the kidney through urinary excretion, we examined the effect of d-alanine on the kidney. In the kidney, d-alanine induced the expressions of genes involved in gluconeogenesis and circadian rhythm. Treatment of d-alanine mediated glucose production in mice. Ex vivo glucose production assay demonstrated that the treatment of d-alanine induced glucose production in primary culture of kidney proximal tubular cells, where d-amino acids are known to be reabsorbed, but not in that of liver cells. Gluconeogenetic effect of d-alanine has an intraday variation, and this effect was in part mediated through circadian transcriptional network. Under constant darkness, treatment of d-alanine normalized the circadian cycle of behavior and kidney gene expressions.

Conclusions

d-Alanine induces gluconeogenesis in the kidney and adjusts the period of the circadian clock. Normalization of circadian cycle by d-alanine may provide the therapeutic options for life style–related diseases and shift workers.

Abstract
Mn-doped CaF2 has been used as a thermoluminescence detector. On the other hand, dosimetric properties of Mn-doped CaF2 transparent ceramics have not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, transparent ceramics (TC) of Mn-doped CaF2 were fabricated, and the optical and thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) properties were investigated in comparison with Mn-doped CaF2 single crystal (SC) and opaque ceramics (Cer). The transmittance at 500 nm of the TC, SC, and Cer specimens was 58, 91, and 0%, respectively. All the specimens showed a PL peak at 490 nm with 340, 400, and 450 nm excitations, originating from d-d transitions of Mn2+ ions. The emission and excitation spectra changed with X-ray irradiation, and this phenomenon was attributed to optically stimulated luminescence. All the specimens mainly had a TSL glow peak at 300 °C. The TC specimen exhibited a higher TSL intensity than the SC and Cer specimens.

Abstract
Thermal healing of focused ion beam-implanted defects in GaN is investigated by off-axis electron holography in TEM. The data reveal that healing starts at temperatures as low as about 250 °C. The healing processes result in an irreversible transition from defect-induced Fermi level pinning near the VB toward a midgap pinning induced by the crystalline-amorphous transition interface. Based on the measured pinning levels and the defect charge states, we identify the dominant defect type to be substitutional carbon on nitrogen sites.

ABSTRACT
Introduction
Celiac Disease (CD) affects the small intestine and it’s characterized by a high sensitivity to gluten. Among the main signs and symptoms, there are typical or intestinal ones such as abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, diarrhea, weight loss, atrophy of the intestinal villi. At the moment, the only effective therapy is to follow a gluten-free diet during a long-life. The aim of the study is to investigate the difficulties of adherence to GFD in young people with CD.
Materials and methods
A questionnaire was administered to the population under study (15-30 years), between 9 July 2022 and 29 August 2022. The interviewees answered 28 questions: 5 concerning the socio-demographic variable, 23 concerning the difficulties of adherence to the GFD.
Results
227 people answered the questionnaire. Among them, a low percentage was sent to the attention of a dietician or psychologist. 78.8% prepare their own meal independently. 78.4% believe they know very well the foods they can eat and 93% say they follow the diet stringently.
Discussion
Following the GF diet is a challenge for most young people with CD. Restaurants offering GF meals are limited and this could be a reason for giving up leisure and socializing, or in the worst-case scenario, the person with CD is forced not to join the GFD. The risk of contamination that can involve fear, isolation, embarrassment in asking questions, is another factor to always keep in mind.
Conclusion
Adherence difficulties begins with the CD diagnosis and the taking charge. The main problem in related to the social setting of young people, who wants to live without complications due to crance of places with GF food. Literature should investigate about adherence difficulties, instead of quality of life and behaviour CD related. It’s necessary to improve the attention on GF world to decrease discomfort about medical conditions.

Published: December 2023

Background: Immunization performed an important role in enhancing global health through decreased transmission of infectious diseases. Numerous aspects within healthcare facilities including supervision, cold-chain management, immunization session procedure, and reporting, must be thoroughly examined to ensure the effective delivery of immunization service. The study aims to evaluate the knowledge of healthcare workers working in the immunization unit in randomly selected primary healthcare centers at Najaf Province. For subjects and method, a cross-sectional research descriptive study took place at 26 healthcare facilities at six districts of Najaf, by using simple random sampling. The study involved a total of 143 healthcare personnel, including 122 healthcare workers working in the immunization units and 21 doctors. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the vaccine knowledge of healthcare workers. Data collecting began on December 2nd, 2022, and ended on March 2nd, 2023. The statistical program Statistical Package for Social Sciences/version 26 was used to examine and achieve the desired findings. Analytic statistics of Chi-square test (X2) was used to establish the statistically significant relationship between variables. Results: The study's findings revealed that healthcare workers have moderate degrees of overall vaccine knowledge (mean of score =2.23). Furthermore, a statistically significant link was discovered between the place of residence of healthcare workers and their knowledge (P=0.007), indicating that those live-in urban regions had greater knowledge levels than those living in rural areas. Conclusion: Healthcare workers possess good knowledge regarding vaccine types, doses, and schedules, moderate knowledge about contraindications and causes of postponement, and their knowledge was substantially associated with their place of residence.

Published: December 2023

Los robots conocidos con el nombre de AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) se utilizan en la logística interna en muchos tipos de industrias y sectores de la producción. Este tipo de robots sustituyen a los tradicionales AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) en los cuales el camino a seguir está definido previamente y no tienen la capacidad de elegir un camino diferente. Por otro lado, los AMRs resultan más flexibles, seguros y precisos, debido a la incorporación de tecnologías que hasta hace poco estaban reservadas al ámbito de la investigación, tales como: navegación autónoma, sistemas de visión por computadoras, tecnología de SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), entre otras. Muchas de estas tecnologías se implementan utilizando ROS (Robot Operating System). ROS es un conjunto de bibliotecas de software y herramientas de código abierto y libre para el desarrollo de aplicaciones de robots, cuya nueva versión ROS 2 tiene como uno de sus objetivos ser aplicable a entornos de producción. El presente trabajo describe el desarrollo de un controlador para robots de tracción diferencial tipo AMR con soporte para ROS 2 utilizando la implementación para sistemas embebidos micro-ROS. Este controlador es la evolución de una versión anterior utilizada en diferentes robots por más de 10 años en el CIII (UTN). Vale aclarar que este trabajo está enfocado principalmente en el desarrollo de hardware. Sin embargo, se han realizado algunas pruebas preliminares de software, principalmente, para evaluar el correcto funcionamiento del controlador de tracción diferencial. En primer lugar, se definen los requerimientos de diseño y se selecciona un microcontrolador con soporte nativo para micro-ROS. Luego se describe el desarrollo de cada etapa del controlador, tales como: la alimentación, la comunicación USB, el sensado de tensión de batería, el puerto de depuración y el diseño final del PCB. Por último, se hace mención a las pruebas iniciales de software que permiten verificar el correcto funcionamiento del controlador y las mejoras respecto a la versión anterior.
Cosmological Tensions and the Transitional Planck Mass Model
Authors: Kable Joshua A. , Benevento Giampaolo , Addison Graeme E. , Bennett Charles L. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this follow-up analysis, we update previous constraints on the transitional Planck mass (TPM) modified gravity model using the latest version of EFTCAMB and provide new constraints using South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck anisotropy data along with Planck cosmic microwave background lensing, baryon acoustic oscillations, and Type Ia supernovae data and a Hubble constant, H
0, prior from local measurements. We find that large shifts in the Planck mass lead to large suppression of power on small scales that is disfavored by both the SPT and Planck data. Using only the SPT temperature-polarization–polarization-polarization (TE-EE) data, this suppression of power can be compensated for by an upward shift of the scalar index to n

0 = 70.65 ± 0.66 km m−1 Mpc−1. Excluding the H
0 prior, the SPT and Planck data constrain the shift in the Planck mass to be <3% at 2σ with a best-fit value of 0.04%, consistent with the Λ cold dark matter limit. In this case

We additionally constrain TPM using redshift space distortion data from BOSS DR12 and cosmic shear, galaxy–galaxy lensing, and galaxy clustering data from DES Y1, finding both disfavor transitions close to recombination, but earlier Planck mass transitions are allowed.
Linking Circumstellar Disk Lifetimes to the Rotational Evolution of Low-mass Stars

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The high-energy radiation emitted by young stars can have a strong influence on their rotational evolution at later stages. This is because internal photoevaporation is one of the major drivers of the dispersal of circumstellar disks, which surround all newly born low-mass stars during the first few million years of their evolution. Employing an internal EUV/X-ray photoevaporation model, we have derived a simple recipe for calculating realistic inner disk lifetimes of protoplanetary disks. This prescription was implemented into a magnetic-morphology-driven rotational evolution model and is used to investigate the impact of disk locking on the spin evolution of low-mass stars. We find that the length of the disk locking phase has a profound impact on the subsequent rotational evolution of a young star, and the implementation of realistic disk lifetimes leads to an improved agreement of model outcomes with observed rotation period distributions for open clusters of various ages. However, for both young star-forming regions tested in our model, the strong bimodality in rotation periods that is observed in h Per could not be recovered. h Per is only successfully recovered if the model is started from a double-peaked distribution with an initial disk fraction of 65%. However, at an age of only ∼1 Myr, such a low disk fraction can only be achieved if an additional disk dispersal process, such as external photoevaporation, is invoked. These results therefore highlight the importance of including realistic disk dispersal mechanisms in rotational evolution models of young stars.
The Implication of the Helium-to-proton Flux Ratio in Galactic Cosmic Rays
Authors: Song Xiaojian , Luo Xi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The measurement of daily proton and helium fluxes by AMS-02 shows that the helium-to-proton flux ratio (He/H) is negatively correlated with the solar activity at rigidity 1.7–7 GV. What is the behavior of He/H at rigidity lower than 1.7 GV? How can this phenomenon be described quantitatively and linked to the underlying mechanisms? In this work, based on a theoretical derivation, we find that the slope (S) of

ln
(
He

/

H
)

versus ln(H) is a good indicator of the variation of He/H. S > 0 means the variation of He/H is anticorrelated with the solar activity, and vice versa. Furthermore, the value of S is quantitatively related to the difference in protons and helium nuclei in the local interstellar spectrum (LIS) and in solar modulation. A 3D time-dependent numerical model is used to reproduce the observed proton and helium data. The results of the simulation show that, with increasing rigidity, the parameter S increases from negative values to positive values at around 1 GV, reaches a maximum value at around 2 GV, and then decreases until it approaches 0. Interestingly, S is equal to 0 at around 1 GV. This means that He/H at this rigidity is almost unchanged with the variation in solar activity. Finally, the expression for S is validated by changing the LIS used in the numerical procedure. This shows that the overall profile of S as a function of rigidity is mainly determined by the mass-to-charge ratio, and the specific value of S is strongly affected by the difference in the LIS between protons and helium nuclei.
A Study of Two Periodogram Algorithms for Improving the Detection of Small Transiting Planets
Authors: Gondhalekar Yash , Feigelson Eric D. , Caceres Gabriel A. , Montalto Marco , Saha Snehanshu 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The sensitivities of two periodograms are compared for weak signal planet detection in transit surveys: the widely used Box Least Squares (BLS) algorithm following light curve detrending and the Transit Comb Filter (TCF) algorithm following autoregressive ARIMA modeling. Small depth transits are injected into light curves with different simulated noise characteristics. Two measures of spectral peak significance are examined: the periodogram signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and a false alarm probability (FAP) based on the generalized extreme value distribution. The relative performance of the BLS and TCF algorithms for small planet detection is examined for a range of light curve characteristics, including orbital period, transit duration, depth, number of transits, and type of noise. We find that the TCF periodogram applied to ARIMA fit residuals with the S/N detection metric is preferred when short-memory autocorrelation is present in the detrended light curve and even when the light curve noise had white Gaussian noise. BLS is more sensitive to small planets only under limited circumstances with the FAP metric. BLS periodogram characteristics are inferior when autocorrelated noise is present due to heteroscedastic noise and false period detection. Application of these methods to TESS light curves with known small exoplanets confirms our simulation results. The study ends with a decision tree that advises transit survey scientists on procedures to detect small planets most efficiently. The use of ARIMA detrending and TCF periodograms can significantly improve the sensitivity of any transit survey with regularly spaced cadence.
