description: There is a need for effective therapy for COVID-19 pneumonia. Convalescent plasma has antiviral activity and early observational studies suggested benefit in reducing COVID-19 severity. We investigated the safety and efficacy of convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in a population with a high HIV prevalence and where few therapeutic options were available. We performed a double-blinded, multicenter, randomized controlled trial in one private and three public sector hospitals in South Africa. Adult participants with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring non-invasive oxygen were randomized 1:1 to receive a single transfusion of 200 mL of either convalescent plasma or 0.9% saline solution. The primary outcome measure was hospital discharge and/or improvement of ≥ 2 points on the World Health Organisation Blueprint Ordinal Scale for Clinical Improvement by day 28 of enrolment. The trial was stopped early for futility by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board. 103 participants, including 21 HIV positive individuals, were randomized at the time of premature trial termination: 52 in the convalescent plasma and 51 in the placebo group. The primary outcome occurred in 31 participants in the convalescent plasma group and and 32 participants in the placebo group (relative risk 1.03 (95% CI 0.77 to 1.38). Two grade 1 transfusion-related adverse events occurred. Participants who improved clinically received convalescent plasma with a higher median anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody titre compared with those who did not (298 versus 205 AU/mL). Our study contributes additional evidence for recommendations against the use of convalescent plasma for COVID-19 pneumonia. Safety and feasibility in this population supports future investigation for other indications.

Transverse oscillations of flowing prominence threads observed with Hinode

description: Recent observations with the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope display an active region prominence whose fine threads oscillate in the vertical direction as they move along a path parallel to the photosphere. A seismological analysis of this event is carried out by taking advantage of the small radius of these structures compared to the total length of magnetic field lines, i.e. by using the thin tube approximation. This analysis reveals that the oscillatory period is only slightly modified by the existence of the flow and that the difference between the period of a flowing thread and a static one is below the error bars of these observations. Moreover, although it is not possible to obtain values of the physical parameters, a lower bound for the Alfvén speed (ranging between 120 km s$^{-1}$ and 350 km s$^{-1}$) is obtained for each of the threads. Such Alfvén speeds agree with the intense magnetic fields and large densities usually found in active region prominences.

Παρουσιάζεται, δηλαδή, η συσχέτιση μεταξύ της ταυτότητας φύλου ενός υποκειμένου και της απόφασής του να ασχοληθεί μετέπειτα με ένα επάγγελμα φροντίδας. Αρχικά, παραθέσαμε κάποιες βασικές θεωρίες για τις ταυτότητες φύλου και τις επαγγελματικές επιλογές των ατόμων και αναζητήσαμε στοιχεία φροντίδας στο λόγο των ανδρών υποκειμένων. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάσαμε βασικούς ορισμούς της έννοιας της φροντίδας και κάναμε μια ιστορική ανασκόπηση του θεσμού του νηπιαγωγείου. Στο τέλος και με βάση τις θεματικές κατηγορίες στις οποίες καταλήξαμε, πραγματοποιείται ένας επαναπροσδιορισμός του ανδρικού φύλου και αναφέρονται οι κύριες επιρροές που δέχτηκαν τα υποκείμενα στον επαγγελματικό τους προσανατολισμό. Σε ένα δεύτερο επίπεδο, αναφέρονται οι λόγοι που οδηγούν τα υποκείμενα στην αίσθηση ικανοποίησης που αντλούν από την άσκηση επαγγέλματος.
description: The central aim of this thesis was the study of the ways male subjects construct their identities, and the reasons behind choosing to become nursery teachers. What the thesis set out to present, in particular, was the connection between the subjects’ gender identity and their decision to be involved in child education and care. Referring to basic theories about gender identities and professional choices, I proceeded with a quest for indications of care in elements of the subjects’ speech. Basic definitions of care were then presented, combined with a historical review of the institution of Pre-School Education. Finally, in conjunction with the thematic categories the Thesis proposed, I attempted a redefinition of the male gender and reported the main influences that shaped the subjects’ professional orientation. A secondary concern of my focus has been to identify the reasons behind the satisfaction and pleasure the subjects derive from their profession.

Multidomain Spectral Method for the Helically Reduced Wave Equation

description: We consider the 2+1 and 3+1 scalar wave equations reduced via a helical Killing field, respectively referred to as the 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional helically reduced wave equation (HRWE). The HRWE serves as the fundamental model for the mixed-type PDE arising in the periodic standing wave (PSW) approximation to binary inspiral. We present a method for solving the equation based on domain decomposition and spectral approximation. Beyond describing such a numerical method for solving strictly linear HRWE, we also present results for a nonlinear scalar model of binary inspiral. The PSW approximation has already been theoretically and numerically studied in the context of the post-Minkowskian gravitational field, with numerical simulations carried out via the "eigenspectral method." Despite its name, the eigenspectral technique does feature a finite-difference component, and is lower-order accurate. We intend to apply the numerical method described here to the theoretically well-developed post-Minkowski PSW formalism with the twin goals of spectral accuracy and the coordinate flexibility afforded by global spectral interpolation.

Bayesian statistics for fishery stock assessment and management
Creators: name: Kinas, Paul G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This work is about the use of Bayesian statistics in fishery stock assessment and management. Multidimensional posterior distributions replace classical parameter estimation in surplus-production and delay-difference models. The maximization of expected utilities replaces the estimation of optimal policies. Adaptive importance sampling is used to obtain approximations for posterior distributions. The importance function is given as a finite mixture of heavy-tailed Student distributions. The performance of the method is tested in five case-studies, two of which use data simulation. Real data refer to Skeena river salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), Orange Roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus) and Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus). The results show that the technique successfully approximates posterior distributions in higher dimensions even if such distributions are multimodal. When comparing models in terms of their performance as management tools, simpler and less realistic models can do better than more sophisticated alternatives. The Bayesian approach also sheds new light on the controversy about the Orange Roughy fishery.

A New Investment Strategy for High-Tech and Deep-Tech Startups
Creators: name: van Niekerk, Albert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: High-tech and deep-tech startups are at the forefront of innovation but face significant investment challenges due to lengthy development cycles, high risk, and capital-intensive requirements. Traditional venture capital models often fail to provide the necessary strategic support, leading to high failure rates, particularly in emerging markets. This paper proposes a novel investment strategy integrating financial backing with structured incubation, intellectual property (IP) securitisation, and milestone-based governance. By leveraging IP-backed financial instruments and hands-on business development, this approach enhances investor confidence, mitigates risk, and fosters sustainable startup growth. The study also explores legal, regulatory, and financial considerations associated with IP monetisation and structured investment frameworks. This strategic model presents a compelling solution for venture capitalists, institutional investors, and policymakers seeking to optimise high-tech investment returns while reducing associated risks.

description: We study the binding of a holon and a spinon in the one-dimensional anisotropic t-J model using a Bethe-Salpeter equation approach, exact diagonalization, and density matrix renormalization group methods on chains of up to 128 sites. We find that holon-spinon binding changes dramatically as a function of anisotropy parameter α=J_\perp/J_z: it evolves from an exactly deducible impurity-like result in the Ising limit to an exponentially shallow bound state near the isotropic case. A remarkable agreement between the theory and numerical results suggests that such a change is controlled by the corresponding evolution of the spinon energy spectrum.

description: We consider the possibility of getting accelerated expansion and w=-1 crossing in the context of a braneworld cosmological setup, endowed with a bulk energy-momentum tensor. For a given ansatz of the bulk content, we demonstrate that the bulk pressures dominate the dynamics at late times and can lead to accelerated expansion. We also analyze the constraints under which we can get a realistic profile for the effective equation of state and conclude that matter in the bulk has the effect of dark energy on the brane. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to simulate the behavior of a Chaplygin gas using non-exotic bulk matter.

description: We study a continuous-variable entangled state composed of two states which are squeezed in two opposite quadratures in phase space. Various entanglement conditions are tested for the entangled squeezed state and we study decoherence models for noise, producing a mixed entangled squeezed state. We briefly describe a probabilistic protocol for entanglement swapping based on the use of this class of entangled states and the main features of a general generation scheme.

Σύμφωνα με τα ευρήματα της έρευνας, το στυλ ηγεσίας σχετίζεται σημαντικά με την επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση των εκπαιδευτικών. Συγκεκριμένα, όταν οι διευθυντές υιοθετούν υποστηρικτικό στυλ, τότε η εργασιακή ικανοποίηση των εκπαιδευτικών αυξάνεται, ενώ όταν υιοθετούν περιοριστικό στυλ τότε η ικανοποίηση μειώνεται. Περαιτέρω, αναδείχθηκε σημαντική συσχέτιση του στυλ ηγεσίας με τον τύπο εργασίας του σχολείου και την περιοχή λειτουργίας του, ενώ παράλληλα αναδείχθηκε σημαντική συσχέτιση της επαγγελματικής ικανοποίησης με το φύλο των εκπαιδευτικών, την ηλικία, το επίπεδο σπουδών, τα έτη προϋπηρεσίας, τη σχέση εργασίας και τον τύπο του σχολείου εργασίας.

description: The double cone, a cone over a product of a pair of spheres, is known to play a role in the black-hole black-string phase diagram, and like all cones it is continuously self similar (CSS). Its zero modes spectrum (in a certain sector) is determined in detail, and it implies that the double cone is a co-dimension 1 attractor in the space of those perturbations which are smooth at the tip. This is interpreted as strong evidence for the double cone being the critical merger solution. For the non-symmetry-breaking perturbations we proceed to perform a fully non-linear analysis of the dynamical system. The scaling symmetry is used to reduce the dynamical system from a 3d phase space to 2d, and obtain the qualitative form of the phase space, including a non-perturbative confirmation of the existence of the "smoothed cone".

description: The aim of the present thesis is to introduce the right to freedom of expression within Europe as that is enshrined through the protection mechanism of the Council of Europe. The case-law of the European Court of Human Rights provides the methodology for the analysis, via the principles that it has laid down in relation to the interpretation of the right and the according restrictions. We examine the different kinds of speech that fall under the protection of Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the impact that they have on the margin of appreciation that the member states enjoy while assessing the limitations placed on the right. It is further demonstrated how any interference with the right of freedom of expression is equivalent to a violation of Article 10 unless it is prescribed by law and corresponds to a pressing social need, therefore rendering the intervention necessary in a democratic society. A specific reference is made to the relation between religious freedom and freedom of expression.

description: We report new results of our search for rare, cool carbon stars located at large distances from the galactic plane. Eighteen new C stars were discovered. Six are remarkable by showing the two peculiarities of a strong infrared excess at 12 microns and a large height above the Galactic plane, from 1.7 to 6 kpc. The number of C stars with these properties has been increased to 16. Mass-loss rates were tentatively estimated by assuming that all these 16 stars are Miras and by using the correlation between Mdot and the K-12 colour index. It is found that several stars have large mass loss, with median Mdot around 4E-06 solar mass per year. It would be desirable to detect their CO emission ... Eight stars might be at more than 30 kpc from the Sun, and two at the unprecedented distance of 150 kpc (this abstract has been abridged).

Τα ευρήματα της σχετικής με το θέμα ξενόγλωσσης βιβλιογραφίας συγκλίνουν στο συμπέρασμα ότι ο ρόλος ενός διευθυντή συνδέεται άμεσα με συγκεκριμένα στοιχεία-κλειδιά, όπως με τη σχέση συνεργασίας του με τους γονείς του μαθητή με αυτισμό, με τη διατύπωση ενός κοινού σκοπού μεταξύ του ίδιου του διευθυντή, των εκπαιδευτικών και των γονέων του μαθητή, με την εφαρμογή πρακτικών διαμοιρασμένης ηγεσίας, με τη διαμόρφωση κατάλληλων συνθηκών μάθησης, με την επαγγελματική ανάπτυξη των εκπαιδευτικών, με την υποστήριξη των γονέων και της κοινότητας και με την εφαρμογή του κατάλληλου αναλυτικού προγράμματος και του κατάλληλου τρόπου διδασκαλίας.

Οι απόψεις και οι ενέργειες των διευθυντών διερευνήθηκαν μέσω ημιδομημένων συνεντεύξεων στην περιοχή της Αθήνας. Από την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων διαπιστώθηκε πως ο τρόπος που αντιλαμβάνονται οι διευθυντές τον ρόλο τους στην ελληνική πραγματικότητα διαφέρει από τη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία ως προς την πλειοψηφία των παραπάνω στοιχείων.

description: In our paper we constrain Friedman Robertson Walker (FRW) model with ``radiation-like'' contribution to the Friedmann equation against the astronomical data. We analyze the observational limitations on a $(1+z)^4$ term from SNIa data, FRIIb radio galaxy (RG) data, baryon oscillation peak and CMBR observations. We argue that it is not possible to determine the energy densities of individual components scaling like radiation from a kinematic astronomical test. The bounds for density parameter for total radiation-like term can be obtained. We find different interpretations of the presence of scaling like radiation term: FRW universe filled with a massless scalar field in a quantum regime (Casimir effect), Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) model in a semi-classical approximation of loop quantum gravity, FRW model in the Randall Sundrum scenario with dark radiation or cosmological model with global rotation. In this paper we mainly concentrate on Casimir effect arising from quantum effects of the scalar field. This contribution can describe decaying part of cosmological constant. We discuss the back reaction of gravity on Casimir-type force which is a manifestation of the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum scalar field at low temperature. It is shown that while the Casimir energy gives rise to accelerating Universe, the cosmological constant term is still required. We argue that a small negative contribution of a radiation-like term can reconcile the tension between the observed primordial ${}^4He$ and $D$ abundance. Moreover the presence of such contribution can also remove the disagreement between Hubble parameter $H_0$ values obtained from both SNIa and Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) satellite data.

Connectedness percolation of fractal liquids
Creators: name: de Bruijn, René

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We apply connectedness percolation theory to fractal liquids of hard particles, and make use of a Percus-Yevick liquid state theory combined with a geometric connectivity criterion. We find that in fractal dimensions the percolation threshold interpolates continuously between integer-dimensional values, and that it decreases monotonically with increasing (fractal) dimension. The influence of hard-core interactions is only significant for dimensions below three. Finally, our theory incorrectly suggests that a percolation threshold is absent below about two dimensions, which we attribute to the breakdown of the connectedness Percus-Yevick closure.

description: The biodegradation of benzene series compounds is a difficult problem in environment pollution control, which is attributed to the deficiency of high efficiency bacteria and suitable embedding materials. In this study, the immobilized cells Rhodococcussp. strain PB-1 was used to synchronously biodegrade phenol and aniline by entrapped in sodium alginate (SA)-bamboo charcoal (BC)-chitosan acetate (CA) beads. The free cells of the strain PB-1 could completely degrade 1500 mg/L phenol or 800 mg/L aniline within 48 h, while the degradation rate of 2000 mg/L phenol and 1500 mg/L aniline was 35.76% and 68.06% at 72 h, respectively. The ortho-cleavage pathway was used to degrade phenol and aniline by strain PB-1. However, after entrapped with SA-BC-CA beads,the removal rate of 2000 mg/L phenol was 100% at 108 h, 1500 mg/L aniline was 100% at 62 h and 2000-3000 mg/L total toxic compounds was over 95% at 120 h. These beads could be used four times and were more effective than SA or SA-BC beads. The SA-BC-CA beads could remarkably improve the stability and degradation efficiency of strain PB-1, and thus provide a potential application in the removal of phenol and aniline in wastewater.

description: Qubit networks with long-range interactions inspired by the Hebb rule can be used as quantum associative memories. Starting from a uniform superposition, the unitary evolution generated by these interactions drives the network through a quantum phase transition at a critical computation time, after which ferromagnetic order guarantees that a measurement retrieves the stored memory. The maximum memory capacity p of these qubit networks is reached at a memory density p/n=1.

Robust Generalization and Safe Query-Specialization in Counterfactual Learning to Rank

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Existing work in counterfactual Learning to Rank (LTR) has focussed on optimizing feature-based models that predict the optimal ranking based on document features. LTR methods based on bandit algorithms often optimize tabular models that memorize the optimal ranking per query. These types of model have their own advantages and disadvantages. Feature-based models provide very robust performance across many queries, including those previously unseen, however, the available features often limit the rankings the model can predict. In contrast, tabular models can converge on any possible ranking through memorization. However, memorization is extremely prone to noise, which makes tabular models reliable only when large numbers of user interactions are available. Can we develop a robust counterfactual LTR method that pursues memorization-based optimization whenever it is safe to do? We introduce the Generalization and Specialization (GENSPEC) algorithm, a robust feature-based counterfactual LTR method that pursues per-query memorization when it is safe to do so. GENSPEC optimizes a single feature-based model for generalization: robust performance across all queries, and many tabular models for specialization: each optimized for high performance on a single query. GENSPEC uses novel relative high-confidence bounds to choose which model to deploy per query. By doing so, GENSPEC enjoys the high performance of successfully specialized tabular models with the robustness of a generalized feature-based model. Our results show that GENSPEC leads to optimal performance on queries with sufficient click data, while having robust behavior on queries with little or noisy data.

Parent attributions for spouse behavior during negative parent-child interactions
Creators: name: Freeman, Wendy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This investigation explored the relation between parents' attributions for their spouse's behaviour during negative parent-child interactions and parenting alliance. Specifically, it was hypothesized that lower levels of parenting alliance are associated with more negative causal attributions and greater attributions of responsibility and blame for negative spouse behaviour. The unique contribution of attributions to the prediction of parenting alliance was also examined. Thirty-seven mothers and 32 fathers of elementary-school-aged boys completed a questionnaire package including the Parenting Alliance Inventory (Abidin & Brunner, 1991). Attributions were assessed using written stimuli and ratings scales assessing dimensions along which causal and responsibility-blame attributions are formed. Analyses revealed no associations between causal attributions for spouse behaviour and parenting alliance. For mothers, one of three responsibility-blame attribution dimensions was associated with level of parenting alliance, and for fathers, two of three responsibility-blame attribution dimensions were associated with lower reports of parenting alliance. Attributions of responsibility-blame, but not causal attributions, were found to predict a marginal amount of variance in attributions above and beyond marital adjustment. The study also explored attributions parents made for spouse behaviour relative to attributions made for self behaviour. Along one causal and one responsibility-blame attribution dimension, a parent by target interaction effect was found, with fathers making more positive attributions for self behaviour than for spouse behaviour, and mothers making equal or more negative attributions for self behaviour than for spouse behaviour. Also, across mothers and fathers, parents made greater attributions of fault-blame for their own behaviour than for spouse behaviour.
Light dynamical fermions on the lattice: toward the chiral regime of QCD

description: Algorithmic and technical progress achieved over the last few years makes QCD simulations with light dynamical quarks much faster than before. As a result lattices with pions as light as 250--300 MeV can be simulated with the present generation of computers. I review recent conceptual and numerical progress in this field, with particular emphasis on results obtained and difficulties encountered in simulations with significantly smaller quark masses with respect to previous computations. I also attempt to compare physical results for pion masses and decay constants available to date in the two-flavour theory with expectations from chiral perturbation theory.

description: The appeals have three mains results. The transference, the inhibitory and the expansive one. Object of this work is the expansive result. This work collects the jurisprudential approach of the procedural phenomenon above, in which the favorable outcome of an appeal brought by a defendant extended to the co-accused, under certain conditions, for example when it comes to cases of involvement in the illegal practice, cases of interdependence of criminal responsibility and relevance when the reason why the appeal became accepted is objective and terms also the other defendants. Described in detail these conditions and the reasons for which a defendant can ask for the expansion, indicating for each one of the cases the way that the jurisprudence decided.
