description: This workbook was created to help care staff think about why we support people living with dementia to feel occupied, and how we can tell if an activity is meaningful. We are generally really good at supporting a person’s physical needs and can see very quickly if something we are doing is going well, for example if someone likes the food and is eating well, if they have a clean and warm living environment or if they are physically well we can usually see it. Sometimes it can be far harder to know if we have met a person’s emotional needs. We know this is a really important side of providing care, but it is much more challenging to know what to do or if we are doing it very well.The workbook is designed to help people working in dementia care settings to think about why we support activities, and if there is anything else we could try to ensure we are meeting the needs of people living with dementia. 

The workbook is divided into different sections.  Firstly, we look at the different reasons that someone may do an activity, and what they hope to get out of it.  We then introduce four different characters to help us reflect on how someone might prioritise activities. It considers what outcome people with a different worldview might hope to achieve, and how this effects if they see an activity as successful. The final part gives you a chance to think about your own worldview and what activity outcomes you value.

description: In this work, a new g-C3N4-based Z-scheme with γ-Fe2O3 and β-Ag2Se both n-type semiconductors, and graphite to favor electron exchange is presented. The composite material was studied by XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis, TEM, XPS, TGA, DSC and TOF-SIMS, and the ability of this photocatalytic system to act as a photo-reductant was assessed using crystal violet (CV+) dye. Solar light driven photo-reduction of CV+ in the presence of tri-sodium citrate evidenced a synergistic enhancement of the activity of the composite toward reduction, with ∼20 times higher conversion rates per unit of surface area than those of g-C3N4. Photo-oxidation experiments under Xe lamp irradiation in the presence of H2O2 also showed that the AgFeCN composite featured a higher activity (∼8×) than g-C3N4. This Z-scheme may deserve further study as a photo-reductant to obtain hydrogen or hydrogenated compounds. Moreover, the use of CV+ may represent a facile procedure that can aid in the selection of new photocatalysts to be used in hydrogen production.

description: Robust machine learning is an increasingly important topic that focuses on developing models resilient to various forms of imperfect data. Due to the pervasiveness of recommender systems in online technologies, researchers have carried out several robustness studies focusing on data sparsity and profile injection attacks. Instead, we propose a more holistic view of robustness for recommender systems that encompasses multiple dimensions - robustness with respect to sub-populations, transformations, distributional disparity, attack, and data sparsity. While there are several libraries that allow users to compare different recommender system models, there is no software library for comprehensive robustness evaluation of recommender system models under different scenarios. As our main contribution, we present a robustness evaluation toolkit, Robustness Gym for RecSys (RGRecSys -- https://www.github.com/salesforce/RGRecSys), that allows us to quickly and uniformly evaluate the robustness of recommender system models.
Electron transport through metal/MoS2 interfaces: edge- or area-dependent process?

description: In ultra-thin two-dimensional (2-D) materials, the formation of ohmic contacts with top metallic layers is a challenging task that involves different processes than in bulk-like structures. Besides the Schottky barrier height, the transfer length of electrons between metals and 2-D monolayers is a highly relevant parameter. For MoS$_2$, both short ($\le$30 nm) and long ($\ge$0.5 $μ$m) values have been reported, corresponding to either an abrupt carrier injection at the contact edge or a more gradual transfer of electrons over a large contact area. Here we use \textit{ab initio} quantum transport simulations to demonstrate that the presence of an oxide layer between a metallic contact and a MoS$_2$ monolayer, for example TiO$_2$ in case of titanium electrodes, favors an area-dependent process with a long transfer length, while a perfectly clean metal-semiconductor interface would lead to an edge process. These findings reconcile several theories that have been postulated about the physics of metal/MoS$_2$ interfaces and provide a framework to design future devices with lower contact resistances.

description: In this note we study the puzzle posed by two M5-branes intersecting on a string (or equivalently, a single M5-brane wrapping a holomorphic four-cycle in C^4). It has been known for a while that this system is different from all other configurations built using self-intersecting M-branes; in particular the corresponding supergravity solution exhibits various curious features which have remained unexplained. We propose that the resolution to these puzzles lies in the existence of a non-zero two-form on the M5-brane world-volume.

description: Short GRBs with extended emission (EE) that are composed initially of a short-hard spike and followed by a long-lasting EE, are thought to be classified as a subsection of short GRBs. The narrow energy band available during the {\em Swift} era combined with a lack of spectral information prevented discovery of the intrinsic properties of those events. In this paper, we performed a systematic search of short GRBs with EE by using all available {\em Fermi}/GBM data. The search identified 26 GBM-detected short GRBs with EE that are similar to GRB 060614 observed by {\em Swift}/BAT. We focus on investigating the spectral and temporal properties for both the hard spike and the EE components of all 26 GRBs, and explore differences and possible correlations between them. We find that while the peak energy ($E_{\rm p}$) of the hard spikes is a little bit harder than that of the EE, but their fluences are comparable. The harder $E_{\rm p}$ seems to correspond to a larger fluence and peak flux with a large scatter for both the hard spike and EE components. Moreover, the $E_{\rm p}$ of both the hard spikes and EE are compared to other short GRBs. Finally, we also compare the properties of GRB 170817A with those short GRBs with EE and find no significant statistical differences between them. We find that GRB 170817A has the lowest $E_{\rm p}$, likely because it was off-axis.

The operators are designed with one eye towards maximizing overlaps with the low-lying states of interest, and the other eye towards minimizing the number of sources needed in computing the required quark propagators. Issues related to spin identification are outlined. Although we focus on tri-quark baryon operators, the construction method is applicable to both mesons and penta-quark operators.

description: The recent discovery of periodic pulsations from several members of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) family in nearby galaxies as well as in our own galaxy unveiled the nature of the accreting compact object. Neutron stars rather than black holes are currently believed to power a substantial number of ULXs whether or not pulsations are observed. The detection of cyclotron absorption lines in the X-ray spectrum of a ULX provides an alternative way to identify the compact object as a neutron star. Among the non-pulsating ULXs, the presence of a cyclotron resonance scattering feature (CRSF) in the spectrum of M51 ULX-8 has been reported. In the present work, the magnetic field strength on the surface of the neutron star in M51 ULX-8 is inferred from the energy of the observed CRSF to estimate the beaming fraction in X-ray emission and more importantly the observable range for the elusive neutron-star spin period to be hopefully discovered by the forthcoming space missions in the near future.

description: Recently Davoudiasl {\it et al} \cite{steinhardt} have introduced a new type of interaction between the Ricci scalar $R$ and the baryon current $J^μ$, ${\partial_μR} J^μ$ and proposed a mechanism for baryogenesis, the gravitational baryogenesis. Generally, however, $\partial_μ R$ vanishes in the radiation dominated era. In this paper we consider a generalized form of their interaction, $\partial_μf(R)J^μ$ and study again the possibility of gravitational baryo(lepto)genesis. Taking $f(R)\sim \ln R$, we will show that $\partial_μf(R)\sim \partial_μ R/R$ does not vanish and the required baryon number asymmetry can be {\it naturally} generated in the early universe.

description: In the effective field theory framework the interaction between two heavy hadrons can be decomposed into a long- and a short-range piece. The long-range piece corresponds to the one-pion-exchange potential and is relatively well-known. The short-range piece is given by a series of contact-range interactions with unknown couplings, which substitute the less well-known short-range dynamics. While the general structure of the short-range potential between heavy hadrons is heavily constrained from heavy-quark symmetry, the couplings are still free parameters. Here we argue that the relative strength and the sign of these couplings can be estimated from the hypothesis that they are saturated by the exchange of light mesons, in particular the vector mesons $ρ$ and $ω$, i.e. from resonance saturation. However, we propose a novel saturation procedure that effectively removes form-factor artifacts. From this we can determine in which spin and isospin configurations the low-energy constants are most attractive for specific two-heavy-hadron systems. In general the molecular states with lower isospins and higher spins will be more attractive and thus more probable candidates to form heavy-hadron molecules. This pattern is compatible with the interpretation of the $X(3872)$ and $P_c(4312/4440/4457)$ as molecular states, but it is not applicable to states with maximum isospin like the $Z_c(3900/4020)$.

description: We investigate charge ordering in a quarter-filled ladder at finite temperature by determinantal Quantum Monte Carlo. The sign problem is moderate in a wide range of model parameters relevant for NaV2O5. The charge order parameter exhibits a crossover as a function of inverse temperature on finite systems. Above a critical nearest neighbor Coulomb repulsion, the correlation length grows exponentially with inverse temperature, indicative of the ordered phase at T=0. We find a clear single-particle gap manifesting itself in a flat n(μ) dependence at large nearest neighbor Coulomb repulsion.

The Evolution of a Structured Relativistic Jet and GRB Afterglow Light-Curves
Creators: name: Kumar, Pawan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We carry out a numerical hydrodynamical modeling for the evolution of a relativistic collimated outflow, as it interacts with the surrounding medium, and calculate the light-curve resulting from synchrotron emission of the shocked fluid. The hydrodynamic equations are reduced to 1-D by assuming axial symmetry and integrating over the radial profile of the flow, thus considerably reducing the computation time. We present results for a number of different initial jet structures, including several different power-laws and a Gaussian profile for the dependence of the energy per unit solid angle, $ε$, and the Lorentz factor, $Γ$, on the angle from the jet symmetry axis. Our choice of parameters for the various calculations is motivated by the current knowledge of relativistic outflows from gamma-ray bursts and the observed afterglow light-curves. Comparison of the light curves for different jet profiles with GRB afterglow observations provides constraints on the jet structure. One of the main results we find is that the transverse fluid velocity in the comoving frame ($v_t$) and the speed of sideways expansion, for smooth jet profiles, is typically much smaller than the speed of sound ($c_s$) throughout much of the evolution of the jet; $v_t$ approaches $c_s$ when $Γ$ along the jet axis becomes of order a few (for large angular gradient of $ε$, $v_t\sim c_s$ while $Γ$ is still large). This result suggests that the dynamics of relativistic structured jets may be reasonably described by a simple analytic model where $ε$ is independent of time, as long as $Γ$ along the jet-axis is larger than a few.

description: Background: Phonological difficulties are prevalent in children with speech and/or language disorders and may hamper their later language outcomes and academic achievements. These children often form a significant proportion of speech and language therapists’ caseloads. There is a shortage of information on evidence-based interventions for improving phonological skills in children and adolescents with speech and language disorder.
Aims: The aim of this systematic literature review and meta-analysis was to systematically examine the effects of different intervention approaches on speech production accuracy and phonological representation skills in children with speech and language disorders.
Methods: A preregistered systematic review (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews ID: CRD42017076075) adhering to Preferred Reporting items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was completed. Seven electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, ERIC, PsychINFO, Cochrane Library, SCOPUS and Linguistics & Language Behavior Abstracts) were searched for studies related to oral language interventions with children with developmental speech and/or language disorder (mean age ranging from 3–18 years) published between January 2006 and August 2022. The included articles reported intervention studies with a group design in which speech production accuracy was the outcome measure. Studies were appraised using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and individual effect sizes were calculated using standardised means differences when enough data was available. A meta-analysis was conducted obtaining the average standardised mean difference d. Heterogeneity, influence of possible moderator variables and publication bias were explored.
Results: The 23 studies that met the inclusion criteria presented low-medium risk of bias. Nine effect sizes were obtained from seven of these studies that presented a pre-post-test with a control group design. Medium-high average effect sizes were found in phonological accuracy. Heterogeneity was found between individual effect sizes. Significant moderator variables and publication bias were not detected.
Conclusions: The results of this meta-analysis indicate positive effects on speech production accuracy. Based on this review, further improvements in the quality of reporting for intervention research are required in developing the evidence base for practice.

We describe the design of the payload, motivations for design choices, and capabilities of the Bose-Einstein Condensate and Cold Atom Laboratory (BECCAL), a NASA-DLR collaboration. BECCAL builds on the heritage of previous devices operated in microgravity, features rubidium and potassium, multiple options for magnetic and optical trapping, different methods for coherent manipulation, and will offer new perspectives for experiments on quantum optics, atom optics, and atom interferometry in the unique microgravity environment on board the International Space Station.
Radiative Mass Mechanism: Addressing the Flavour Hierarchy and Strong CP Puzzle

description: We propose a class of models based on the parity invariant Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRSM), which incorporates the mechanism of radiative generation of fermion masses while simultaneously possessing the solution to the Strong CP problem. A flavour non-universal gauged abelian symmetry is imposed on top of LRSM, which helps in inducing the masses of second and first-generation fermions at one-loop and two-loop, respectively, and thereby reproduces the hierarchical spectrum of the masses. Parity invariance requires the vanishing of the strong CP parameter at the zeroth order, and the non-zero contribution arises at the two-loop level, which is in agreement with the experimental constraints. The minimal model predicts flavour symmetry breaking scale and the $SU(2)_R$ symmetry breaking scale at the same level. flavour non-universality of the new gauge interaction leads to various flavour-changing transitions both in quarks and leptonic sectors and, therefore, has various phenomenologically interesting signatures. The model predicts a new physics scale near $10^8$ GeV or above for phenomenological consistent solutions. This, in turn, restricts strong CP phase $\barθ \lesssim 10^{-14}$ as the parity breaking scale and flavour scale are related in the minimal framework.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of leptonic unitarity triangles, using both current neutrino oscillation data and projections of next-generation oscillation measurements. Future experiments, sensitive to the degree of CP violation in the lepton sector, will enable the construction of precise triangles. We show how unitarity violation could manifest in the triangles and discuss how they serve as unitarity tests. We also propose the use of Jarlskog factors as a complementary means of probing unitarity. This analysis highlights the importance of testing the unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix, an understanding of which is crucial for deciphering the nature of the neutrino sector.

description: We derive expressions for the leading-order far-field flows generated by externally driven and active (swimming) colloids at planar fluid-fluid interfaces. We consider colloids adjacent to the interface or adhered to the interface with a pinned contact line. The Reynolds and capillary numbers are assumed much less than unity, in line with typical micron-scale colloids involving air- or alkane-aqueous interfaces. For driven colloids, the leading-order flow is given by the point-force (and/or torque) response of this system. For active colloids, the force-dipole (stresslet) response occurs at leading order. At clean (surfactant-free) interfaces, these hydrodynamic modes are essentially a restricted set of the usual Stokes multipoles in a bulk fluid. To leading order, driven colloids exert Stokeslets parallel to the interface, while active colloids drive differently oriented stresslets depending on the colloid's orientation. We then consider how these modes are altered by the presence of an incompressible interface, a typical circumstance for colloidal systems at small capillary numbers in the presence of surfactant. The leading-order modes for driven and active colloids are restructured dramatically. For driven colloids, interfacial incompressibility substantially weakens the far-field flow normal to the interface; the point-force response drives flow only parallel to the interface. However, Marangoni stresses induce a new dipolar mode, which lacks an analogue on a clean interface. Surface-viscous stresses, if present, potentially generate very long-ranged flow on the interface and the surrounding fluids. Our results have important implications for colloid assembly and advective mass transport enhancement near fluid boundaries.

Equivalent BC (EBC) mass concentrations were measured using a miniaturized, palm-sized filter-photometer (MicroAeth AE51, EBCAE51) and evaluated against those obtained using a continuous soot monitoring system (COSMOS, EBCCOSMOS) and a single-particle soot photometer (SP2, refractory BC, rBCSP2). We propose methods to account for the following key factors affecting AE51 measurements: (1) the non-linearity of light attenuation (ATN) measurements associated with high-particle loading on the filter (i.e., the loading effect); and (2) the positive artifacts in ATN measurements created by non-refractory materials (nonBC) on the filter. To examine these effects, we employed a custom automated system that switches the two sampling lines for the AE51, one of which was heated to 300 °C to minimize the sampling of nonBC. Alternate operation of the heated and unheated modes (for 15 min) enabled the separation of the described effects. Consistent with previous studies, in the heated mode, sensitivity decreased linearly with increases in ATN (-0.44% per ATN) in comparison with the other aethalometers. When the loading effect was corrected for, the EBCAE51 in the unheated mode still showed some bias relative to EBCCOSMOS and rBCSP2. This bias correlated with—and was successfully corrected for using—the mass ratio of nonBC to BC derived from the SP2. This approach can also be applied to fine-mode aerosol (PM2.5) concentrations measured at environmental monitoring networks, thus eliminating the need for additional SP2 data in the data correction.

description: This paper describes a novel design of a threshold logic gate (a binary perceptron) and its implementation as a standard cell. This new cell structure, referred to as flash threshold logic (FTL), uses floating gate (flash) transistors to realize the weights associated with a threshold function. The threshold voltages of the flash transistors serve as a proxy for the weights. An FTL cell can be equivalently viewed as a multi-input, edge-triggered flipflop which computes a threshold function on a clock edge. Consequently, it can be used in the automatic synthesis of ASICs. The use of flash transistors in the FTL cell allows programming of the weights after fabrication, thereby preventing discovery of its function by a foundry or by reverse engineering. This paper focuses on the design and characteristics of the FTL cell. We present a novel method for programming the weights of an FTL cell for a specified threshold function using a modified perceptron learning algorithm. The algorithm is further extended to select weights to maximize the robustness of the design in the presence of process variations. The FTL circuit was designed in 40nm technology and simulations with layout-extracted parasitics included, demonstrate significant improvements in the area (79.7%), power (61.1%), and performance (42.5%) when compared to the equivalent implementations of the same function in conventional static CMOS design. Weight selection targeting robustness is demonstrated using Monte Carlo simulations. The paper also shows how FTL cells can be used for fixing timing errors after fabrication.

description: Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral identificar o papel da Educação Corporativa na inclusão de pessoas transgêneras nas organizações. Teve sua origem a partir da leitura de uma matéria da revista Você S/A que falava sobre a crescente busca de empresas por pessoas transgêneras. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica com dois temas principais abordados: Educação Corporativa e Transgeneridade. A Educação Corporativa é um sistema de aprendizagem que desenvolve e educa de maneira ativa e permanente toda uma cadeia de valor a fim de atender as estratégias da organização no que tange a propósitos, valores, objetivos e metas. Transgeneridade é a não identificação de uma pessoa com o gênero no qual foi designada ao nascer, a estas pessoas chamamos de transgêneros. Foram realizados levantamentos bibliográficos para compreensão de conceitos vinculados a ambos os temas. Posteriormente foi realizado o cruzamento das variáveis no intuito de compreender a relação pessoa transgênero e empregabilidade atentando-se a possíveis demandas das organizações na inserção dessas pessoas e qual seria o papel da Educação Corporativa frente a isso. A partir desses estudos, conclui-se que o objetivo geral foi alcançado, uma vez que foi possível identificar o papel da Educação Corporativa como mediadora no processo de inclusão de pessoas trans nas organizações.

description: The study investigated the impact of financial technology on banking service delivery in Nigeria for the period 2005-2022. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the impact of point-of-sale technology on banking service delivery in Nigeria, to evaluate the effect of online web payments technology on banking service delivery in Nigeria, to find out the impact of ATM technology on banking service delivery in Nigeria, and to investigate the impact of mobile banking technology transactions on banking service delivery in Nigeria. The study adopted ex post facto method, and employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) to estimate the model. The major findings of the study Automated Teller Machine (ATM) transaction at 5% level of significance has positive impact on bank performance in Nigeria; Point of Sale (POS) terminal at 5% level of significance has significant impact on bank performance in Nigeria; and online internet banking (ONLIT) transaction at 5% level of significance has significant impact on bank performance in Nigeria. While at 90% level of confidence we conclude that the effect is negative and significant. The policy recommendations based on the findings are: the policy maker should design a strategy toward enhancing the automated teller machines in term of its availability not only the cities also in the rural areas, improve on its networking and its ability to dispense different Naira denomination. Point of Sale instrument have been found to be significant on its positive effect to Banks in Nigeria, the Central Bank of Nigeria should make it more accessible to all businesses in Nigeria; and the Internet banking over the period of the study has no significant effect on performance of Nigerian banks. Effort should be made by the government through the network provider to improve in its networking for effective uses of internet banking. There should be a campaign by the banks to their customers to educate them on how to use the services

description: Internet of Things (IoT), the emerging computing infrastructure that refers to the networked interconnection of physical objects, incorporates a plethora of digital systems that are being developed by means of a large number of applications. Many of these applications administer data collection on the edge and offer data storage and analytics capabilities in the cloud. This raises the following problems: (i) the processing stages in IoT applications need to have separate implementations for both the edge and the cloud, (ii) the placement of computation is inflexible with separate software stacks, as the optimal deployment decisions need to be made at runtime, and (iii) unified fault tolerance is essential in case of intermittent long-distance network connectivity problems, malicious harming of edge devices, or harsh environments. This paper proposes a novel fault-tolerant architecture CEFIoT for IoT applications by adopting state-of-the-art cloud technologies and deploying them also for edge computing. We solve the data fault tolerance issue by exploiting the Apache Kafka publish/subscribe platform as the unified high-performance data replication solution offering a common software stack for both the edge and the cloud. We also deploy Kubernetes for fault-tolerant management and the advanced functionality allowing on-the-fly automatic reconfiguration of the processing pipeline to handle both hardware and network connectivity based failures.

description: At sufficiently high Reynolds numbers, shear-flow turbulence close to a wall acquires universal properties. When length and velocity are rescaled by appropriate characteristic scales of the turbulent flow and thereby measured in \emph{inner units}, the statistical properties of the flow become independent of the Reynolds number. We demonstrate the existence of a wall-attached non-chaotic exact invariant solution of the fully nonlinear 3D Navier-Stokes equations for a parallel boundary layer that captures the characteristic self-similar scaling of near-wall turbulent structures. The branch of travelling wave solutions can be followed up to $Re=1,000,000$. Combined theoretical and numerical evidence suggests that the solution is asymptotically self-similar and exactly scales in inner units for Reynolds numbers tending to infinity. Demonstrating the existence of invariant solutions that capture the self-similar scaling properties of turbulence in the near-wall region is a step towards extending the dynamical systems approach to turbulence from the transitional regime to fully developed boundary layers.

description: We propose an heuristic rule for the area transformation on the non-commutative plane. The non-commutative area preserving transformations are quantum deformation of the classical symplectic diffeomorphisms. Area preservation condition is formulated as a field equation in the non-commutative Chern-Simons gauge theory. The higher dimensional generalization is suggested and the corresponding algebraic structure - the infinite dimensional $\sin$-Lie algebra is extracted. As an illustrative example the second-quantized formulation for electrons in the lowest Landau level is considered.

description: The usage of porcine pepsin or other porcine derivatives in food products is a common practice in European, American and certain Asian countries although it creates issues in religious and personnel health concerns. In this study, porcine pepsin was detected using indirect ELISA that involved the anti-pep80510 polyclonal antibody raised against a specific peptide of porcine pepsin, pep80510. The sensitivity of the assay for standard porcine pepsin was 0.008 µg/g. The immunoassay did not cross-react to other animal rennet and milk proteins except for microbial coagulant from Mucor miehie. The recovery of porcine pepsin in spiked cheese curd within the range of CV < 20% while for porcine pepsin in spiked cheese whey the recovery is also within the range of CV% < 20%.

REMARK
Lamarck’s type material could not be found in the MNHN. Yet, Müller & Troschel (1842), while giving no information on Lamarck’s Asterias tessellata, described a new species (Astrogonium lamarckii) that they found in the Paris collection. Undoubtedly, Astrogonium lamarckii is the first junior synonym of Lamarck’s Asterias tessellata. The holotype of the former is still kept in the MNHN (Fig. 41). It is to be assumed that the type specimen of Astrogonium lamarckii of Müller & Troschel’s would also be that of Lamarck’s Asterias tessellata.
