description: We estimate a spatially explicit model of the forest clearance process among smallholder farmers in an agricultural frontier of southern Mexico. Our analysis takes as its point of departure a simple utility-maximising model that suggests many possible determinants of deforestation in an economic environment characterised by missing or thin markets. Hypotheses from the model are tested on a data set that combines a time series of satellite imagery with data collected from a survey of farm households whose agricultural plots were geo-referenced using a global positioning system (GPS). We implement a survival analysis to identify the effect of household level explanatory variables on the probability of deforestation. This approach allows us to introduce a measure of the time until clearance as a covariate, thereby affording a control for the effect of potentially important explanatory variables that vary through time but are not directly observable. In addition to identifying several variables relevant for policy analysis, including household demographics, proximity to roads, and government provision of agricultural support, model results suggest that the deforestation process is characterised by non-linear duration dependence, with the probability of forest clearance first decreasing and then increasing with the passage of time.

description: The effective bosonic hamiltonian for excitons, extensively quoted up to now, cannot be correct because it is (surprisingly) non-hermitian. The oversight physically originates from the intrinsic difficulty of properly defining electron-hole interactions between excitons when dealing with exchange terms. By using our commutation technique, we show that the fermionic character of the excitons cannot be forced into a dressed Coulomb interaction only : The effective bosonic hamiltonian must contain purely fermionic terms of the same order as the Coulomb terms. They are necessary to ensure hermiticity, and they do not reduce to a two-body interaction, Pauli exclusion being N-body by essence.

description: FAIR and Open research data sharing is becoming more and more ubiquitous. The rationale behind this trend and policy imperative includes improving efficiency and reproducibility, advancing interdisciplinary research, and driving uptake and innovation. However, the actual impact of research data sharing in academic, economic, or societal contexts, is less well understood than for instance the effects of open government data. PathOS (https://pathos-project.eu/) is a 3-year Horizon Europe project that seeks to expand the available knowledge on the impacts of Open Science and Open Research Data. It does so along three main areas:

1. Modelling of the impact pathways: Mapping key effects of OS in terms of outputs, their usage, outcomes and impacts for key areas, including open research data and open methods

2. Supporting the testing and operationalization of OS indicators: Providing indicators, tools, data and flows to ensure practical implementation and validating them in six case studies.

3. Developing a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) framework: Providing insights on the net economic value of specific Open Science and Open Data practices.

The poster will highlight the major findings and tools related to Open Research Data, focusing on four key dimensions:

Conceptualise: A systematic framework for the evaluation of Open Science interventions applied to data sharing, derived from policy evaluation methodology, which aids the conceptualisation of Key Impact Pathways for the academic, societal, and economic impact of Open science. [3]

Understand: Results of a large-scale literature review that identified gaps in evidence regarding the impact of research data sharing, where some evidence for impacts on re-use, citations, but also policymaking and governance could be identified [1,2]

Measure: A snippet of open data and impact indicators in the PathOS Indicator Handbook (https://handbook.pathos-project.eu/)

Evaluate. An example application of Cost-Benefit Analysis to Open Data infrastructures [4]. A case study on the UniProt repository operated by Elixir how such a framework can be applied to real-life example [5].

Through the poster, we seek to showcase the potential of these conceptual and practical outputs to be applied elsewhere. This can be for example through the design of impact pathways and impact monitoring indicators, such as in research projects, institutional monitoring, or policy/funding programmes. All results and tools of PathOS are available on the projects resource hub (https://pathos-project.eu/pathos-os-resources-hub ).

description: Customary clothing becomes an important part in every ritual and customary activities for the community in the island of Buru, the function of traditional clothing in addition to body armor is also a symbol of identity attached to the outfit. This research is a qualitative study aimed at describing indigenous fashion for the community. The research location focuses on three villages namely Kayeli village, Kubalahin Village and Wasi Village with consideration of the traditional clothing use which is more often found in comparison of other villages in Buru Island. The number of informant interviewed by 25 people, consisting of customary figures, community leaders, leaders of indigenous institutions and village apparatus as well as local people residing at the research site. Analytical techniques used to follow the concept of Miles and Huberman where activities in the analysis of qualitative data are conducted interactively and continuously. The results showed that customary clothing in all three locations had several similarities in the use as well as differences in the placement of custom fashions. The villagers of Kayeli and Wasi used traditional clothes for the activities of receiving indigenous guests and traditional activities that took place in the village, while the community was kubalahin using traditional clothes while the traditional ritual was carried out. For people of the village Kayeli customary clothing has a value of sacral that must be obeyed by everyone who uses it, as well as in the village of Wasi and Kubalahin, they assume that identity in the customary clothing should be maintained with not arbitrary use Or placing custom clothes in everyday lif
Neuron-specific characteristics of miR135b- and miR137-mediated translational regulation

description: microRNAs are small, non-coding post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that target specific mRNAs, typically effecting translational repression coupled to degradation. In contrast, previous work within the Luthi-Carter laboratory has shown that neuron-enriched microRNAs, including miR135b and miR137, co-exist with their targets, many of which encode proteins with important synaptic functions.Neurons are highly polarised, interconnecting cells that form complex brain networks. The site of neurotransmission, the synapse, allows the directional flow of electrical and chemical signals via specialised neuronal subdomains, i.e. from the axon to dendritic fields. mRNA transport and local translation is one of several mechanisms modulating synaptic strength, in a phenomenon known as neuronal plasticity.In this thesis, I test the hypothesis that neuronal microRNAs, miR135b and miR137, operate via non-degrading target interactions. In addition, I explore a related hypothesis and demonstrate that miR135b- and miR137-target interactions display characteristics consistent with a role in RNA transport to synapses, including their interaction with relevant RNA binding proteins.My analyses provide strong evidence for non-degrading miR135b- and miR137-target interactions, by demonstrating that both microRNAs co-exist with, and in some cases positively modulate the levels of, their target mRNAs. Moreover, under the conditions of my experiments, overexpression of miR137 led to an increase, rather than a decrease, in the levels of its target proteins. Furthermore, I show that miR135b and miR137 and their targets coexist in MOV10-positive complexes, consistent with a role in translational repression during mRNA transport to pre- or postsynaptic fields. Although not expressly demonstrated, the association of miR135b and miR137 with MOV10 in this context strongly implicates these complexes in signal-dependent modulation of local protein translation to regulate synaptic and neuronal connectivity. The regulation of miR135b- and miR137-target interactions may therefore explain their previous associations with dysfunctional neuronal connectivity giving rise to human neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions.

description: We report the results of a survey applied to students and professionals in the area of physics in Brazil, pursuing to draw a portrait of the composition of this community in terms of the social markers age, race, ethnicity, geographical origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities. The main goal was to quantify the representativeness of different groups in the community and to detect motivations and difficulties encountered by each group throughout their studies and career. This survey was open to the members of the Brazilian Physics Society (SBF) from July to September 2018. Our outcomes reveal that (i) the Brazilian physicists community is poorly diverse even in comparison with the population composition, (ii) the main obstacle to pursue the career is socioeconomic vulnerability and (iii) harassment is high in our society, being more pronounced among women. We hope that these results will be useful to scientific and educational institutions to develop different strategies and policies to change this current situation.

description: We conducted a systematic angular dependence study of nonlinear magnetoresistance in NiFe/Pt bilayers at variable temperature and field using the Wheatstone bridge method. We successfully disentangled magnon magnetoresistance from other types of magnetoresistances based on their different temperature and field dependences. Both the spin Hall/anisotropic and magnon magnetoresistances contain sine phi and sine 3 phi components with phi the angle between current and magnetization, but they exhibit different field and temperature dependence. The competition between different types of magnetoresistances leads to a sign reversal of sine 3 phi component at a specific magnetic field, which was not reported previously. The phenomenological model developed is able to account for the experimental results for both NiFe/Pt and NiFe/Ta samples with different layer thicknesses. Our results demonstrate the importance of disentangling different types of magnetoresistances when characterizing the charge-spin interconversion process in magnetic heterostructures.

description: We aimed to investigate the role of expectant mothers’ background antenatal ultrasound knowledge on their state anxiety when they apply for the ultrasound examination. A cross-sectional study was conducted in perinatology outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Expectant mothers who applied for the first trimester ultrasound scan and second trimester anomaly scan were recruited to the study. A self-report form was applied to participants to assess the sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric history, knowledge and attitudes toward antenatal ultrasound. Expectant mothers’ state anxiety prior to ultrasound scan was measured with the state sub-scale of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. A total of 500 expectant mothers (220 in the first trimester and 280 in the second trimester) were included to the study. We found a negative correlation between the participants’ age and state anxiety level (r = −0.118, p < .01). Also, participants’ education level had a significant effect on their state anxiety level (F (2, 497)=5.91, p < .01). Participant’s age significantly predicted lower state anxiety level (β = −0.10, t = −2.09, p < .05). We did not find any significant relationship between the mean knowledge level of mothers and state anxiety levels of mothers (r = −0.07, p > .05). Age was the only affecting factor on anxiety levels before ultrasound scan in pregnant participants. There was no significant effect of background knowledge on state anxiety.

description: The main goal of the workpackage (WP7) is to investigate state-of-the-art IT infrastructure needed for multi-partner, multi-site, multi-component industrial biotechnology projects. The workpackage has four objectives and the deliverable is linked to the first. * To use portable computational workflows to combine multiple computational resources and automate analytics using a state of the art workflow interoperability language to ensure generality across workflow management systems. * To coordinate workflows with manual steps using programmatically encoded “Business Process Modelling” protocols. These BPM workflows are higher-level systematic descriptions of protocols and produce auditable provenance of the results of their execution. * To use rich metadata to describe and retain a common, related view of the components of a project: workflows, data, models, SOPs, samples, people etc. This work is done in collaboration with WP Network. * To provide an online repository and portal for storing, sharing and launching workflows, linked with related data and models, organised using the de-facto ISA standard (Investigation, Studies, Assays/Analysis) structure. The nodes and workflows we are developing are to be used to execute and monitor the Design-Build-Test processes of WP6. There are essentially two types of nodes: computational for the Design step and the analysis of data acquired in the Test step, and experimental for the Build and Test steps. These steps conform to Standard Operating Protocols (SOPs) and are executed through human intervention by the infrastructure partners of IBISBA.

description: In semiconductor spintronic devices, the semiconductor is usually lightly doped and nondegenerate, and moderate electric fields can dominate the carrier motion. We recently derived a drift-diffusion equation for spin polarization in the semiconductors by consistently taking into account electric-field effects and nondegenerate electron statistics and identified a high-field diffusive regime which has no analogue in metals. Here spin injection from a ferromagnet (FM) into a nonmagnetic semiconductor (NS) is extensively studied by applying this spin drift-diffusion equation to several typical injection structures such as FM/NS, FM/NS/FM, and FM/NS/NS structures. We find that in the high-field regime spin injection from a ferromagnet into a semiconductor is enhanced by several orders of magnitude. For injection structures with interfacial barriers, the electric field further enhances spin injection considerably. In FM/NS/FM structures high electric fields destroy the symmetry between the two magnets at low fields, where both magnets are equally important for spin injection, and spin injection becomes locally determined by the magnet from which carriers flow into the semiconductor. The field-induced spin injection enhancement should also be insensitive to the presence of a highly doped nonmagnetic semiconductor (NS$^+$) at the FM interface, thus FM/NS$^+$/NS structures should also manifest efficient spin injection at high fields. Furthermore, high fields substantially reduce the magnetoresistance observable in a recent experiment on spin injection from magnetic semiconductors.

description: With the advent of Big Data, the increasing use of AI algorithms in finance and the consequently fast-growing need for computational power, it has become necessary for FinTech companies to use large scalable HPC systems able to handle and explore a wide array of Machine Learning models (e.g. deep neural networks) and to remain up-to-date with state-of-the-art methods.
 With this work, we wanted to maximize the efficiency of accessing different types of remote computational resources potentially available to our proprietary Machine Learning platform, without losing the flexibility provided by in-house compute power. This is a mandatory requirement for a FinTech company oftentimes working with proprietary data that cannot be uploaded to cloud systems.
 In this whitepaper, we outline the development of a scalable and flexible DB-centric Master-Slave system architecture able to exploit any connected internal or external computational resource (including an HPC cluster) in a flawless and secure way.

description: Gravitational-wave (GW) observations provide a wealth of information on the nature and properties of black holes. Among these, tidal Love numbers or the multipole moments of the inspiralling and final objects are key to a number of constraints. Here, we consider these observations in the context of higher-dimensional scenarios, with flat large extra dimensions. We show that -- as might be anticipated, but not always appreciated in the literature -- physically motivated set-ups are unconstrained by gravitational-wave data. Dynamical processes that do not excite the Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes lead to a signal identical to that in four-dimensional general relativity in vacuum . In addition, any possible excitation of the KK modes is highly suppressed relative to the dominant quadrupolar term; given existing constraints on the extra dimensions and the masses of the objects seen in gravitational-wave observations, KK modes appear at post-Newtonian order $\sim 10^{11}$. Finally, we re-compute the tidal Love numbers of spherical black holes in higher dimensions. We confirm that these are different from zero, but comparing with previous computations we find a different magnitude and sign.

description: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy increase maternal morbidity, mortality, and long-term risk for cardiovascular disease. The rising incidence of chronic hypertension and preeclampsia disproportionately affects people of color. There is a paucity of published data examining differences in the effectiveness of acute antihypertensive agents between pregnant patients of different races/ethnicities. We aimed to determine if the effectiveness of acute antihypertensive agents for peripartum severe hypertension differs by race/ethnicity. A retrospective cohort study of patients with severe peripartum hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mm Hg confirmed within 15 min) to determine whether the effectiveness of blood pressure control using nationally recommended medications (hydralazine, labetalol, nifedipine) differed by race/ethnicity. The primary outcome was reduction and maintenance of blood pressure to target ranges (140–150/90–100 mm Hg or below) for ≥4 h in each race/ethnicity group. Statistical tests included χ2, Fisher’s exact, analysis of variance, and multivariable logistic regression. Of 729 patients receiving treatment for severe peripartum hypertension, all medications were effective (overall 86.4% efficacy) at controlling blood pressure. Labetalol was the most effective medication in White patients (93.0 vs. 74.7% for nifedipine and 86.5% for hydralazine, p < .001). No overall differences in medication effectiveness were found in Black, Asian, or LatinX patients. Black and Asian patients were more likely to experience >1 hypertensive episode [51.0 and 49.0%, respectively vs. 35.4% (White) and 40.0% (LatinX), p = .008]. Currently recommended therapies for severe peripartum hypertension are effective in controlling blood pressure for ≥4 h in patients of all race/ethnic groups. Labetalol was the most effective medication in White patients with no overall differences in medication effectiveness in Black, Asian, or LatinX patients.

description: The Czech National Repository Platform for Research Data is a project that aims in the landscaping and creation of integral parts of National Data Infrastructure (NDI). The integration of Data Management Plans (DMPs) into the Czech National Repository Platform for Research Data represents a significant advancement in the research framework of the nation. This poster explores how the seamless integration of various services, tools, and resources into the national repository platform is essential for effective research data management. By incorporating DMPs as a core component, researchers can ensure adherence to best practices, including the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability), and optimize the full potential of the platform. It highlights how the adoption of the Research Data Alliance (RDA) DMP Common Standard for machine-actionable DMPs facilitates this process, enabling automated and efficient workflows. Additionally, the educational aspect of integrating DMPs will be discussed, emphasizing how it supports researchers in developing robust data management strategies that are aligned with international standards. Through this integration, the Czech National Repository Platform not only enhances the quality and reproducibility of research but also promotes a culture of data stewardship across the scientific community.

 Distribution. As pointed out by Myers (1985a), the distribution of this species is not clear due to confusion with other species, but it is said to be cosmopolitan in tropical and warm temperate waters.
 Habitat. This species was collected at depths of less than 1 m from brown algae. It was collected from two sites where there was suspended material in seawater (Grand Baie and Ile D’Ambre).
 Remarks. The material from Mauritius most closely fits the description given by Myers (1985a) from Fiji and that of Ledoyer (1982) from Madagascar.

description: Understanding human mobility is crucial for applications such as forecasting epidemic spreading, planning transport infrastructure and urbanism in general. While, traditionally, mobility information has been collected via surveys, the pervasive adoption of mobile technologies has brought a wealth of (real time) data. The easy access to this information opens the door to study theoretical questions so far unexplored. In this work, we show for a series of worldwide cities that commuting daily flows can be mapped into a well behaved vector field, fulfilling the divergence theorem and which is, besides, irrotational. This property allows us to define a potential for the field that can become a major instrument to determine separate mobility basins and discern contiguous urban areas. We also show that empirical fluxes and potentials can be well reproduced and analytically characterized using the so-called gravity model, while other models based on intervening opportunities have serious difficulties.

description: Polyaniline (PANI) layer was successfully coated onto titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) through polymerization of aniline under UV light irradiation. Thickness of the PANI layer was controlled by adjusting the aniline amount added in the reaction system. Morphologies of the PANI coated TiO2 nanocomposite (PANI@TiO2) were obtained using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The optical properties of the composite nanoparticles were characterized by UV-vis adsorption spectroscopy. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were also used to analyze the prepared nanocomposites. The PANI@TiO2 with a thin layer of PANI showed enhanced photocatalytic activity under simulated sunlight. The nanocomposites were coated onto mercerized cotton fabrics to endow the fabrics strong self-cleaning ability under sunlight. Furthermore, the PANI layer renders positive charges to TiO2 NPs and the mercerization treatment of cotton increases the amount of the hydroxyl groups on the surface, Both of these two factors promote the successful coating of TiO2 NPs on cotton. These results provide new insight for design of interface interaction between particles and fiber surface. Significantly, the convenient UV induced preparation method of PANI@TiO2 could achieve an easy scale-up manufacture of photocatalytic materials for functionalization of textiles.
Helicobacter pylori diversity and gastro-duodenal disease in Western Africa

description: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is causally linked with gastric pre-malignant lesions, gastric cancer (GCA) and peptic ulcer disease (PUD). In Africa, PUD is prevalent while GCA has reportedly low incidence. Less is known about pre-malignant lesions. Hp genes cagA and vacA are established virulence factors and have been associated with increased gastroduodenal disease (GDD) risk. Further, diversity in the Carboxyl-terminus of cagA can influence GCA risk. Virulence studies have evolved from candidate-based to more robust genome wide association studies (GWAS). Here, a clinical and histopathological assessment of GDD in West Africa was performed, as well as an evaluation of associated Hp genetic variation. In 136 dyspeptic patients from Ghana, pre-malignant lesions had low prevalence, 14.7%, most of which were located distally. vacA and cagA Hp strains were identified by PCR in 69.2% and 74.8% of 159 dyspeptic Ghanaian patients respectively; cagA-(internal duplication region) being more prevalent than cagA-(hydrophilic region). Duodenal ulcer was associated with cagA-(hydrophilic region) and vacAs1m1. Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) of seven housekeeping genes have previously identified multiple distinct H. pylori populations or lineages such as hpAfrica1 and hpEurope. An agnostic analysis of Hp virulence employed a GWAS using 193 controls from the European-African admixed population of Cape Verde (CV) and 101 cases from reference databases. African controls and cases clustered within hpAfrica1, while European controls and cases clustered within hpEurope. Genes significant for GCA or PUD were established virulence factors cagPAI, vacA and babA2. Prominent among these were lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan biosynthesis proteins. Phylogenetic analyses showed a cluster of closely related CV lineages that diverged from European cases. This CV_outgroup was notable for absence of major virulence genes. Although several novel and established variants have been linked to GDD, population structure in bacteria can lead to false positives in linkage dysequilibrium (LD) with genuine risk variants. Hence, validation studies are required to assist in risk stratification of infected individuals for further management. Ultimately, GDD risk is multi-factorial. Therefore, studies ought to evaluate host, bacterial and environmental factors in an integrated design.
Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Phase Fluctuations in Cuprate Superconductors: A QED$_3$ Unified Theory of the Pseudogap State

description: A d-wave superconductor, its phase coherence progressively destroyed by unbinding of vortex-antivortex pairs, suffers an instability related to chiral symmetry breaking in two-flavor QED$_3$. The chiral manifold exhibits large degeneracy spanned by physical states acting as inherent ``competitors'' of d-wave superconductivity. Two of these states are associated with antiferromagnetic insulator and ``stripe'' phases, known to be stable in the pseudogap regime of cuprates near half-filling. The theory also predicts additional, yet unobserved state: a d+ip phase-incoherent superconductor.

description: Bactofilins are a widespread family of cytoskeletal proteins with important roles in bacterial morpho-1 genesis, chromosome organization and motility. They polymerize in a nucleotide-independent manner, 2 forming non-polar filaments that are typically associated with the cytoplasmic membrane. Membrane 3 binding was suggested to be mediated by a short N-terminal peptide, but the underlying mechanism and 4 the conservation of this interaction determinant among bacteria remain unclear. Here, we use the bacto-5 filin homolog BacA of the stalked bacterium Caulobacter crescentus as a model to analyze the membrane-6 binding behavior of bactofilins. Based on site-directed mutagenesis of the N-terminal region, we identify 7 the full membrane-targeting sequence of BacA (MFSKQAKS) and identify amino acid residues that are 8 critical for its function in vivo and in vitro. Molecular dynamics simulations then provide detailed insight 9 into the molecular mechanism underlying the membrane affinity of this peptide.

description: We report direct first-principles density-functional calculations of the piezoelectric tensor $\tensor{d}$ relating polarization to applied stress for the binary compounds AlN, GaN, and InN. The values of $\tensor{d}$ are rather sensitive to the choice of the exchange-correlation functional, and results are presented for both the local-density and gradient approximations. A comparison with experiment and with values predicted indirectly from the elastic and e-piezoconstant tensors is also presented.

description: We consider the chiral Lagrangian for baryon fields with J^P =\frac{1}{2}^+ or J^P =\frac{3}{2}^+ quantum numbers as constructed from QCD with up, down and strange quarks. The specific class of counter terms that are of chiral order Q^3 and contribute to meson-baryon interactions at the two-body level is constructed. Altogether we find 24 terms. In order to pave the way for realistic applications we establish a set of 22 sum rules for the low-energy constants as they are implied by QCD in the large-N_c limit. Given such a constraint there remain only 2 independent unknown parameters that need to be determined by either Lattice QCD simulations or directly from experimental cross section measurements. At subleading order we arrive at 5 parameters.
