description: COVID-19 made a quick and widely unprepared transition of research and teaching formats to digital and blended forms of interaction necessary worldwide. This has expectedly proven challenging and the learning curve of institutions, facilitators, teachers and trainers has been steep. In this session, we will discuss some of these challenges exemplarily using the Sustainable Futures Academy (SFA) as a case study. This project integrated deliberation of the research and politics of designing, predicting and visualising the future in an era of anthropogenic change in a cross-institutional, cross-border and cross-disciplinary event.

description: High-resolution spectroscopy and photometric monitoring of the pre-main sequence star RXJ1608.6-3922 shows that it is not an eclipsing binary, as previously claimed. Radial velocity measurements covering suitable time spans in order to detect a spectroscopic binary with the claimed period of about 7 days have been performed. The scatter of the radial velocity does not exceed 2.4 km/s, defining an upper mass limit of 24 Jupiter masses for any eclipsing companion orbiting this star with the claimed period. Photometric observations of RXJ1608.6-3922 in 7 consecutive nights (i.e. as long as the claimed orbital period) reveal brightness variations of the order of 0.2 mag with a period of 3.6 days. The shape of the detected light curve differs from a light curve of the star recorded in 1996. The small variations of the radial velocity, the variable shape of the light curve, as well as (B-V) color variations suggest that the flux of RXJ 1608.6-3922 is modulated by spots on the stellar surface with a rotational period of 3.6 days. The stellar activity of this star seems to be highly variable, taking into account the variable shape of the light curve, with an amplitude varying from 0.5 to 0.2 mag in a few years, as well as hints for a variable H$_α$ equivalent width.

description: Macroalgal biomass has the potential to become an important source of chemicals and commodities in a future biorefinery. Currently, production of macroalgal biomass is expensive and the content of high-value compounds is often low. Therefore, in this study the biochemical composition of Ulva intestinalis along the Swedish west coast and the east coast up to Stockholm was assessed with the aim of determining how the content of potentially valuable compounds, such as rhamnose, iduronic acid and PUFAs, could be maximized by utilizing natural variation in the choice of marine cultivation site. Along the investigated coastline, the salinity dropped from 19.4‰ at high latitudes along the west coast to 5.4‰ at Stockholm. Nitrogen and phosphorus availability varied, while temperature was similar at all locations. The two major components of biomass, carbohydrates and ash, varied inversely with the highest content of ash in the west and carbohydrates in the east. In addition, total fatty acids were significantly higher in west coast samples at 3.2 g 100 g–1 dw, with a higher proportion of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Some health-beneficial fatty acids were found, including EPA and DPA, at 10–50 mg 100 g–1 dw, respectively. The metal content and elemental composition varied widely, probably due to the influence of specific local conditions. The P content was correlated with the phosphorus concentration in waters at the locations. In PCA analysis, the monosaccharides constituting the cell wall polysaccharide ulvan were found to vary by geographical location, with higher levels possibly associated with lower salinities. However, only glucuronic acid differed significantly between sites. These results show the considerable geographical variability in the composition of Swedish U. intestinalis and suggest that different salinities could be used to create a lipid- or carbohydrate-rich biomass.

description: Marine cyanobacteria have emerged as a source of promising bioactive compounds. The isolation of strains from tropical environments seems to be an important step in the search for molecules displaying bioactivity, besides being valuable for biotechnological purposes. Thus, the objective of the present study was to describe marine cyanobacterial strains, isolated and characterized in terms of morphology and molecular phylogeny, as well as screened for biologically active compounds. Five strains were isolated and morphologically characterized as Leptolyngbya (CENA553, CENA554 and CENA555) and Geitlerinema (CENA552 and CENA556). Considering the phylogenetic results, these strains did not match the clusters of the type-species or reference strains, indicating the possible emergence of new generic entities morphologically related to Leptolyngbya and Geitlerinema. Among the isolated strains, CENA552 and CENA556 were selected for chemical analyses. Five known nucleosides with biological activities and two amino acids were recognized and isolated from the CENA556 strain. The GC-MS analyses of strains CENA552 and CENA556 revealed distinct classes of non-polar compounds, with a predominance of octadecane (CENA556), 2-hexyl-1-decanol (CENA552) and neophytadiene (CENA552 and CENA556) hydrocarbons. All nucleosides and amino acids were highly abundant, indicating these morphotypes as promising sources of these bioactive compounds. This is the first report considering taxonomy/molecular phylogeny as well as chemistry prospection of morphotypes resembling Geitlerinema-like isolated from the Brazilian coastal area, highlighting the potential of these taxa for biotechnological applications.

description: We show that the cop number of directed and undirected Cayley graphs on abelian groups has an upper bound of the form of $O(\sqrt{n})$, where $n$ is the number of vertices, by introducing a refined inductive method. With our method, we improve the previous upper bound on cop number for undirected Cayley graphs on abelian groups, and we establish an upper bound on the cop number of directed Cayley graphs on abelian groups. We also use Cayley graphs on abelian groups to construct new \emph{Meyniel extremal families}, which contain graphs of every order $n$ with cop number $Θ(\sqrt{n})$.

 Diagnosis. Head yellowish brown, posterior margin slightly darker, gular sclerite not differentiated; maxillary palp (Fig. 7A) with RO located in distal half, L/W of basal segment about 4; antennal flagellum as in Fig. 7B, AR 2.6–2.7; mandible (Fig. 7C) with large projecting basal tooth and moderately developed accessory tooth; dorsomental region (Fig. 7D) with two small teeth at basal corners of M-appendage and weakly sclerotized bar projecting medially; ligula (Fig. 7E) with 5 subequal teeth set in straight row, base with small lateral projections; ventral cephalic setae and VP as in Fig. 7F, setae S9, S10 and SSm lie along oblique line to main axis, VP located posterolateral to S10; posterior parapod with one small angulate claw possessing inner tooth (Fig. 7G).
 Notes. The bifid claw and AR <3.0 would place it in the. Z. thryptica complex (Epler 2001). Some pupae were also collected and the enclosed pharate adults had no wing pattern which is characteristic of Z. thryptica. This species was originally described from California and it is possible that the species from our study sites may represent a separate eastern species.
 Ecology and habitat. Larvae are reported to occur in springs and spring fed streams and pools and littoral zone of the lakes (Epler 2001). In study streams they were very rare.
 Sampling sites. The larvae were collected from pools in Algonquin Park streams and from riffles in Muskoka District stream. Within the study streams they were less abundant than other Tanypodinae species.
 Nearctic distribution. Canada: Ontario.

description: In contemporary German poetry, traditional imagery also holds a significant place. This article explores the interpretation and description of traditional images, such as homeland, parents, children, elements of nature, and astronomical motifs, which serve as key tools for expressing deep human emotions, cultural heritage, and philosophical issues. Today’s German poets, including Ingeborg Bachmann, Eugen Gomringer, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Ulrich Grasnick, Helga M. Novak, Ernst Jandl, Jan Wagner, Durs Grünbein, Nora Gomringer, Monika Rinck, and Daniela Seel, reinterpret ancient and spiritual symbols in their works, embedding them with contemporary meaning and reflecting the depth of human daily life in their creativity.

 Material. Iran, Hormozgan Province, IR22-2011, 5 km N of Rudan N of Bandar Abbass, Rudan stream, 27º 28.748 N, 57º 15.648 E, 210 m asl, 21.vii.2011 0/1/0 (mounted).
 Morphology. Female — Idiosoma L/W 931/669; dorsum without plates. Coxal field: Cx-I very long. Gnathosoma relatively small and broadly fused at base. Posterior apodemes of Cx-I+II moderately developed, suture line between Cx-III+IV complete, ending at bluntly-pointed medial margin of Cx-III+IV; posterior margin of Cx-IV with moderately developed projections; coxal field L 372, Cx-III W 416.

Chelicera total L 287. Legs: dL of I-L-2-6 (Fig. 23B): 108, 136, 172, 185, 156; dL of IV-L: 141, 144, 231, 286, 325, 265.
 Remarks. The single specimen from Hormozgan province is provisionally assigned to the Oriental Hygrobates hamatus. It resembles both Hygrobates hamatus and the Afrotropical H. soari K. Viets, 1911. Cook (1967) described H. hamatus bharatensis Cook, 1967, from India and stated that this subspecies differs from the stem species in having much smaller projections on the posterior margin of Cx-IV. Later on, Gledhill & Wiles (1997) synonymized this subspecies with the stem species which is widespread in the Oriental region (Pešić et al. 2010) and furthermore reported from New Guinea and Australia (Wiles 1997c, Cook 1986). Hygrobates hamatus is very similar to H. soari K. Viets, 1911, a species widspread in the Afrotropical region, reaching in its distribution to northern Oman (Gerecke 2004b, Smit & Pešić 2010). The diagnostic differences separating these two species have been discussed only by Cook (1967) who mentioned that the anterior coxal group is much shorter in H. hamatus bharatensis. More material should be studied in order to get an insight into further diagnostic differences. Similar to Diplodontus silvestrii and D. schaubi, this probably will require applying molecular techniques.
 Habitat. Sandy/bouldery stream, with strong exposure to sunlight (Fig. 44D).

Crossing the `Yellow Void' -- Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of the Post- Red Supergiant IRC+10420 and Its Circumstellar Ejecta

description: IRC +10420 is one of the extreme hypergiant stars that define the empirical upper luminosity boundary in the HR diagram. During their post--RSG evolution, these massive stars enter a temperature range (6000-9000 K) of increased dynamical instability, high mass loss, and increasing opacity, a semi--forbidden region, that de Jager and his collaborators have called the `yellow void'. We report HST/STIS spatially resolved spectroscopy of IRC +10420 and its reflection nebula with some surprising results. Long slit spectroscopy of the reflected spectrum allows us to effectively view the star from different directions. Measurements of the double--peaked Halpha emission profile show a uniform outflow of gas in a nearly spherical distribution, contrary to previous models with an equatorial disk or bipolar outflow. Based on the temperature and mass loss rate estimates that are usually quoted for this object, the wind is optically thick to the continuum at some and possibly all wavelengths. Consequently the observed variations in apparent spectral type and inferred temperature are changes in the wind and do not necessarily mean that the underlying stellar radius and interior structure are evolving on such a short timescale. To explain the evidence for simultaneous outflow and infall of material near the star, we propose a `rain' model in which blobs of gas condense in regions of lowered opacity outside the dense wind. With the apparent warming of its wind, the recent appearance of strong emission, and a decline in the mass loss rate, IRC +10420 may be about to shed its opaque wind, cross the `yellow void', and emerge as a hotter star.

description: Classification of matter through topological phases and topological edge states between distinct materials has been a subject of great interest recently. While lattices have been the main setting for these studies, a relatively unexplored realm for this physics is that of continuum fluids. In the typical case of a fluid model with a point spectrum, nontrivial topology and associated edge modes have been observed previously. However, another possibility is that a continuous spectrum can coexist with the point spectrum. Here we demonstrate that a fluid plasma model can harbor nontrivial topology within its continuous spectrum, and that there are boundary modes at the interface between topologically distinct regions. We consider the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model. In the presence of magnetic shear, we find nontrivial topology in the Alfvén continuum. For strong shear, the Chern number is $\pm 1$, depending on the sign of the shear. If the magnetic shear changes sign within the plasma, a topological phase transition occurs, and bulk-boundary correspondence then suggests a mode localized to the layer of zero magnetic shear. We confirm the existence of this mode numerically. Moreover, this reversed-shear Alfvén eigenmode (RSAE) is well known within magnetic fusion as it has been observed in several tokamaks. In examining how the MHD model might be regularized at small scales, we also consider the electron limit of Hall MHD. We show that the whistler band, which plays an important role in planetary ionospheres, has nontrivial topology. More broadly, this work raises the possibility that fusion devices could be carefully tailored to produce other topological states with potentially useful behavior.

description: Resulting from strong magnetic anisotropy two-dimensional ferromagnetism was recently shown to be stabilized in chromium triiodide, CrI$_3$, in the monolayer limit. While its properties remain largely unexplored, it provides a unique material-specific platform to unveil its electromagnetic properties associated with coupling of modes. Indeed, trigonal symmetry in the presence of out-of-plane magnetization results in a non-trivial structure of the conductivity tensor, including the off-diagonal terms. In this paper, we study the surface electromagnetic waves localized in a CrI$_3$-based structure using the results of {\it ab initio} calculations for the CrI$_3$ conductivity tensor. In particular, we provide an estimate for the critical angle corresponding to the surface plasmon polariton generation in the Kretschmann-Raether configuration by a detailed investigation of reflectance spectrum as well as the magnetic field distribution for different CrI$_3$ layer thicknesses. We also study the bilayer structure formed by two CrI$_3$ layers separated by a SiO$_2$ spacer and show that the surface plasmon resonance can be achieved at the interface between CrI$_3$ and air depending on the spacer thickness.

Where appropriate, the HITRAN line lists for the same molecules have also been updated. This work brings the current number of molecules provided by HITEMP to seven. The initial line lists originating from \textit{ab initio} and semi-empirical methods for each molecule have been carefully validated against available observations and, where necessary, adjustments have been made to match observations. We anticipate this work will be applied to a variety of high-temperature environments including astronomical applications, combustion monitoring, and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium conditions.

To cope with this policy, the manufacturer uses a green investment strategy to increase the employment of green technologies in the manufacturing system. In addition, a hybrid production system is employed by synchronizing the employment of conventional facility and green facility. Three credit financing scenarios are developed to improve the financial benefit of the supply chain. The objective is to determine the optimal shipment frequencies, ordering cycle, production rate, selling price and investment level to maximize the joint total profit. An iterative procedure is suggested to find the solution of the proposed problems. A sensitivity analysis is provided to study the impact of the changes in key parameters on the model’s solution. The results show that the hybrid production strategy combined with green investment and production rate adjustment policies has proven to be able to improve the performance of the supply chain. In addition, Furthermore, implementing the credit financing scheme results in greater profits, however, the quantity varies depending on the scenario.

description: Using the StarTrack population synthesis code we analyze the possible formation channels of the Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 harboring the most massive known stellar black hole. We find that we are able to reproduce the evolution and the current state of GRS 1915+105 in a model with lowered wind mass loss rates in massive stars. We conclude that the existence of GRS 1915+105 implies that stellar winds in massive stars are a factor of two weaker, but still within observational bounds, than used in stellar models. We discuss the mass transfer initiated by the massive primary in binaries which are the possible precursors of systems harboring massive black holes. We show that such mass transfer evolution is neither clear case B nor C, but instead is initiated during the core helium burning phase of the massive donor star, the progenitor of the black hole. We also argue that massive black holes do not receive any kicks at their formation and are formed through direct collapse of progenitor star without accompanying supernova explosion.

description: The decay of the solar wind helium to hydrogen temperature ratio due to Coulomb thermalization can be used to measure how far from the Sun strong preferential ion heating occurs. Previous work has shown that a zone of preferential ion heating, resulting in mass-proportional temperatures, extends about $20-40 R_\odot$ from the Sun on average. Here we look at the motion of the outer boundary of this zone with time and compare it to other physically meaningful distances. We report that the boundary moves in lockstep with the Alfvén point over the solar cycle, contracting and expanding with solar activity with a correlation coefficient of better than 0.95 and with an RMS difference of $4.23 R_\odot$. Strong preferential ion heating apparently is predominatly active below the Alfvén point. To definitively identify the underlying preferential heating mechanisms, it will be necessary to make in situ measurements of the local plasma conditions below the Alfvén surface. We predict Parker Solar Probe (PSP) will be the first spacecraft to directly observe this heating in action, but only a couple of years after launch as activity increases, the zone expands, and PSP's perihelion drops.

Figs 3A–F
 Diagnosis. Head yellowish, with pale brown posterior margin, gular sclerite not discernible; maxillary palp (Fig. 3A) with 2-segmented sensillum b; basal antennal segment 358–398 µm long, 2.0x as long as mandible, AR 4.6–4.9, flagellum as in Fig. 3B; mandible (Fig. 3C) with small accessory tooth; pseudoradula (Fig. 3D) parallelsided with about 10 rows of fine granules grading to coarser ones towards base, no wavy lines; ligula (Fig. 3E) with strongly concave toothed margin, inner laterals slightly out-turned; ventral cephalic setae and VP as in Fig. 3F; body with scattered setae about as long as subtending segment.
 Notes. The only character separating Meropelopia from Thienemannimyia and Hayesomyia is the higher A1/M ratio. The pigmentation of posterior margin of head capsule used in Epler’s (2001) key was found to be unreliable in separating the above genera. The morphometrics used in Roback (1981) to separate the two Meropelopia species does appear to hold up with M. americana being the larger of the two. Another distinguishing character is the form of the psudoradula as described for each species. Pupae collected were also identified by the presence of well developed mesonotal tubercle (absent in the adult) and long lanceolate setae on abdominal segments V–VIII. It is surprisingly similar to Conchapelopia rurika Roback, but the latter doesn’t have the developed mesonotal tubercle.
 Ecology and habitat. The species has been reported to occur in streams with pH 4.1–7.0 (X = 5.64) and water temperature of 9–18 °C (X = 15.9°C) (Roback 1981). Larvae were common in all habitats of the study streams but mainly occurred in moss and leaf packs.
 Sampling sites. We found the larvae inhabiting streams in all the provincial parks and districts located in our study area.

A turbulent MHD model for molecular clouds and a new method of accretion on to star-forming cores

description: We describe the results of a sequence of simulations of gravitational collapse in a turbulent magnetized region. The parameters are chosen to be representative of molecular cloud material. We find that several protostellar cores and filamentary structures of higher than average density form. The filaments inter-connect the high density cores. Furthermore, the magnetic field strengths are found to correlate positively with the density, in agreement with recent observations. We make synthetic channel maps of the simulations and show that material accreting onto the cores is channelled along the magnetized filamentary structures. This is compared with recent observations of S106, and shown to be consistent with these data. We postulate that this mechanism of accretion along filaments may provide a means for molecular cloud cores to grow to the point where they become gravitationally unstable and collapse to form stars.

description: We discuss the experimental and theoretical status of charge-symmetry violation (CSV) in the elastic scattering of pi+ and pi- on 3H and 3He. Analysis of the experimental data for the ratios r1, r2, and R at Tpi = 142, 180, 220, and 256 MeV provides evidence for the presence of CSV. We describe pion scattering from the three-nucleon system in terms of single- and double-scattering amplitudes. External and internal Coulomb interactions as well as the Delta-mass splitting are taken into account as sources of CSV. Reasonable agreement between our theoretical calculations and the experimental data is obtained for Tpi = 180, 220, and 256 MeV. For these energies, it is found that the Delta-mass splitting and the internal Coulomb interaction are the most important contributions for CSV in the three-nucleon system. The CSV effects are rather sensitive to the choice of pion-nuclear scattering mechanisms, but at the same time, our theoretical predictions are much less sensitive to the choice of the nuclear wave function. It is found, however, that data for r2 and R at Tpi = 142 MeV do not agree with the predictions of our model, which may indicate that there are additional mechanisms for CSV which are important only at lower energies.

description: Male infertility is a disease which affects approximately 7% of men. Sperm morphology analysis (SMA) is one of the main diagnosis methods for this problem. Manual SMA is an inexact, subjective, non-reproducible, and hard to teach process. As a result, in this paper, we introduce a novel automatic SMA based on a neural architecture search algorithm termed Genetic Neural Architecture Search (GeNAS). For this purpose, we used a collection of images called MHSMA dataset contains 1,540 sperm images which have been collected from 235 patients with infertility problems. GeNAS is a genetic algorithm that acts as a meta-controller which explores the constrained search space of plain convolutional neural network architectures. Every individual of the genetic algorithm is a convolutional neural network trained to predict morphological deformities in different segments of human sperm (head, vacuole, and acrosome), and its fitness is calculated by a novel proposed method named GeNAS-WF especially designed for noisy, low resolution, and imbalanced datasets. Also, a hashing method is used to save each trained neural architecture fitness, so we could reuse them during fitness evaluation and speed up the algorithm. Besides, in terms of running time and computation power, our proposed architecture search method is far more efficient than most of the other existing neural architecture search algorithms. Additionally, other proposed methods have been evaluated on balanced datasets, whereas GeNAS is built specifically for noisy, low quality, and imbalanced datasets which are common in the field of medical imaging. In our experiments, the best neural architecture found by GeNAS has reached an accuracy of 91.66%, 77.33%, and 77.66% in the vacuole, head, and acrosome abnormality detection, respectively. In comparison to other proposed algorithms for MHSMA dataset, GeNAS achieved state-of-the-art results.
