description: Superconducting circuits are among the most advanced quantum computing technologies, however their performance is currently limited by losses found in surface oxides and disordered materials. Here, we identify and spatially localize a near-field signature of loss centers on tantalum films using terahertz scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM). Making use of terahertz nanospectroscopy, we observe a localized excess vibrational mode around 0.5 THz and identify this resonance as the boson peak, a signature of amorphous materials. Grazing-incidence wide-angle x-ray scattering (GIWAXS) shows that oxides on freshly solvent-cleaned samples are amorphous, whereas crystalline phases emerge after aging in air. By localizing defect centers at the nanoscale, our characterization techniques and results will inform the optimization of fabrication procedures for new low-loss superconducting circuits.

description: This report, developed in the context of the LEADCOR - "Leadership development for occupational stress reduction in correctional settings" project, presents the method followed for the development of an innovative occupational stress diagnosis tool. The report starts with a clarification of the definitions of burnout, citing the relevant existing measures that were considered along the process. The authors then present the items developed for the tool, differentiating the two versions that were developed (depending on the frequency of contact with prisoners). After, measures, procedures and participants in the piloting study (done in Portugal, Belgium, Germany and Romania) are described, and statistical results for the items are presented. Following the piloting results, the validation study is presented, including its measures and procedures. Participants of the study are described, and the dimensionality of the measure is explored. The reliability results of the measure are presented, followed by the analysis of the convergent and discriminant validity. A comparison between countries is presented, exploring the differences between staff stress / burnout levels in the partner countries. Lastly, the results are discussed, and guidelines for further stages of implementation are provided.

description: Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$ is a rare example of a layered ferrimagnet. It has recently been shown to host a colossal angular magnetoresistance as the spin orientation is rotated from the in- to out-of-plane direction, proposed to be underpinned by a topological nodal-line degeneracy in its electronic structure. Nonetheless, the origins of its ferrimagnetic structure remain controversial, while its experimental electronic structure, and the role of correlations in shaping this, are little explored to date. Here, we combine x-ray and photoemission-based spectroscopies with first-principles calculations, to probe the elemental-selective electronic structure and magnetic order in Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$. Through these, we identify a marked Mn-Te hybridisation, which weakens the electronic correlations and enhances the magnetic anisotropy. We demonstrate how this strengthens the magnetic frustration in Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$, which is key to stabilising its ferrimagnetic order, and find a crucial role of both exchange interactions extending beyond nearest-neighbours and anti-symmetric exchange in dictating its ordering temperature. Together, our results demonstrate a powerful methodology of using experimental electronic structure probes to constrain the parameter space for first-principles calculations of magnetic materials, and through this approach, reveal a pivotal role played by covalency in stabilising the ferrimagnetic order in Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$.

description: Astrophysical research in recent decades has made significant progress thanks to the availability of various $N$-body simulation techniques. With the rapid development of high-performance computing technologies, modern simulations have been able to take the computing power of massively parallel clusters with more than $10^5$ GPU cores. While unprecedented accuracy and dynamical scales have been achieved, the enormous amount of data being generated continuously poses great challenges for the subsequent procedures of data analysis and archiving. As an urgent response to these challenges, in this paper we propose an adaptive storage scheme for simulation data, inspired by the block time step integration scheme found in a number of direct $N$-body integrators available nowadays. The proposed scheme, namely the block time step storage scheme, works by minimizing the data redundancy with assignments of data with individual output frequencies as required by the researcher. As demonstrated by benchmarks, the proposed scheme is applicable to a wide variety of simulations. Despite the main focus of developing a solution for direct $N$-body simulation data, the methodology is transferable for grid-based or tree-based simulations where hierarchical time stepping is used.

Influence of spin on tunneling times in the super-relativistic regime

description: For the relativistic tunneling effect described using Dirac's equation, in [Phys. Rev. A 70, 052112 (2004)] the authors presented the deduction of a general result that allows for the determination of the phase time (group delay) as the sum of the particle dwell time inside a potential barrier and of the self-interference delay associated with the incident and reflected wave functions interaction. In this article, a mathematical model is derived through a construction analogous to the proposal mentioned above, but based on an alternative representation for Dirac's equation. This representation is similar to the one introduced in [Found. Phys. 45, 1586 (2015)]. Thus, from the application of this model in the study of the tunneling effect in the absence of an external magnetic field, the influence of spin on the tunneling times is described. More specifically, the tunneling time is obtained as the sum of the dwell times inside the potential barrier for particles with spin up and spin down and the self-interaction time associated with the incident and reflected wave functions for particles with spin up.

description: In Paris, at La Villette University, was four-days of debate on 2-4 Mai 2013, in which faculty members of all the world discussed on methods and experiences in teaching landscape. The conference was organized in multiple sessions: history, theories, representation, process, science and governance. All the fields discussed were related to the main problem of the identity of territories in the landscape project -from the theories to the practices- and applied in a very large range of different situations: from the rural world between conservation and transformations to the coastal areas under the pressure of tourism, from the ecology in the city life renovation to the land use control and project by community and the emergency management in natural catastrophes.

description: The natural history of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is extremely variable, ranging from asymptomatic or mild infection, mainly in children, to multi-organ failure, eventually fatal, mainly in the eldest. We propose here the first model explaining how the outcome of first, crucial 10-15 days after infection, depends on the balance between the cumulative dose of viral exposure and the efficacy of the local innate immune response (natural IgA and IgM antibodies, mannose-binding lectin). If SARS-CoV-2 runs the blockade of this innate immunity and spreads from the upper airways to the alveoli in the early phases of the infections, it can replicate with no local resistance, causing pneumonia and releasing high amounts of antigens. The delayed and strong adaptive immune response (high-affinity IgM and IgG antibodies) that follows, causes severe inflammation and triggers mediator cascades (complement, coagulation, and cytokine storm), leading to complications often requiring intensive therapy and being, in some patients, fatal. Low-moderate physical activity can still be recommended. However, extreme physical activity and oral breathing with hyperventilation during the incubation days and early stages of COVID-19 facilitates re-inhalation and early direct penetration of high numbers of own virus particles in the lower airways and the alveoli, without impacting on the airway's mucosae covered by neutralizing antibodies ("viral auto-inhalation" phenomenon). This allows the virus to bypass the efficient immune barrier of the upper airway mucosa in already infected, young, and otherwise healthy athletes. In conclusion, whether the virus or the adaptive immune response reaches the lungs first is a crucial factor deciding the fate of the patient. This "quantitative and time-/sequence-dependent" model has several implications for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy of COVID-19 at all ages.
Il paesaggio agrario come componente del giardino storico e il giardino storico come parte del paesaggio agrario: aspetti produttivi e caratteri costruttivi e percettivi da analizzare e valorizzare

description: In historic gardens the aesthetic/ornamental function was always connected to the productive one, with vegetable gardens, orchards, woods and agricultural areas inserted in the site composition. As Emilio Sereni observed, agricultural landscape was in the garden and at the same time the garden was part of the well designed Italian agricultural landscape. The loss of productive functions in the garden, now considered more for its decorative and recreative role and the transformation of the agricultural landscape, often abandoned or altered by modernization and building development, have significantly changed constructive and perceptive features of historic gardens. This paper considers these landscape transformations and the possible preservation and management strategies to valorize and rehabilitate the productive components of the gardens and the functional and visual relationship between gardens and landscape.

Year: 2022

description: A torção do ovário é uma emergência cirúrgica rara, geralmente de difícil diagnóstico atendendo à natureza inespecífica ou intermitente dos sintomas. A avaliação radiológica é quase sempre necessária para o seu diagnóstico e para exclusão de outras causas mais comuns de dor abdomino-pélvica aguda. Embora a ecografia pélvica seja geralmente o exame de primeira linha, a torção do ovário pode ser inicialmente detectada através da TC ou da RM, devido ao uso crescente destas técnicas, especialmente da TC em contexto de urgência. Existem alguns achados radiológicos específicos, tais como o whirlpool sign (resultante da torção do pedículo vascular do ovário) na presença de um tumor anexial ou de um aumento do ovário ipsilateral; no entanto, a apresentação clínica e os achados radiológicos podem ser ambos inespecíficos, e nesses casos, o diagnóstico correcto apenas pode ser sugerido através da correlação clínica e da compreensão da fisiopatologia subjacente aos diferentes estágios cronológicos da torção do ovário.

description: A full understanding of how unusually large "Ultra Diffuse Galaxies" (UDGs) fit into our conventional understanding of dwarf galaxies remains elusive, despite the large number of objects identified locally. A natural extension of UDG research is the study of similar galaxies at higher redshift to establish how their properties may evolve over time. However, this has been a challenging task given how severely systematic effects and cosmological surface brightness dimming inhibit our ability to study low-surface brightness galaxies at high-$z$. Here, we present an identification of low stellar surface density galaxies (LDGs), likely the progenitors of local UDGs, at moderate redshift with deep near-IR observations of the El Gordo cluster at $z = 0.87$ with JWST. By stacking 8 NIRCAM filters, we are able to achieve an apparent surface brightness sensitivity of $24.59$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$, faint enough to be complete to the bright end of the LDG population. Our analysis identifies significant differences between this population and local UDGs, such as their color and size distributions, which suggest that UDG progenitors are bluer and more extended at high-$z$ than at $z = 0$. This suggests that multiple mechanisms are responsible for UDG formation and that prolonged transformation of cluster dwarfs is not a primary UDG formation mechanism at high-$z$. Furthermore, we find a slight overabundance of LDGs in El Gordo, and, in contrast to findings in local clusters, our analysis does not show a deficit of LDGs in the center of El Gordo, implying that tidal destruction of LDGs is significant between $z = 0.87$ and $z = 0$.

The strength of the historical stratification of an half of a century ago landscape, what that classics could see, is gone now, reduced to an iconographic find and detectable in the contemporary scenes only in the form of a rare and residual exceptions. Overviewing the current rural landscape would suggest the young author to write an history of rural landscape?

description: Val d’Orcia, as it appears nowadays, is basically the result of the works led by a consortium of drainage that gathered, from the end of the Twenties, the major proprieties of land of that period, and that made this territory an icon of “beautiful agrarian landscape”. Today this landscape, as we are used to know, is kept by the surviving of cereal crops, always more difficult to support because of the EU agricultural policies and, more generally, of a market that penalizes the wheat. On this scenery, the business of renewable energies faces. To trust the individual common sense is no more sufficient. A planning of landscape occurs, that takes care not only of the regulations, but rather the consciousness and education of which lives in the landscape.

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: We investigate whether COVID-19 exposure changes participants’ threat-detection threshold. Sensitivity to threat was measured in a signal detection task among 397 British adults who also reported how much vulnerable they felt to infectious disease. Participants’ data were then matched to the number of confirmed COVID-19 collected from the NHS database. We found that participants who perceive themselves as more likely to catch infectious diseases displayed a higher negativity bias in response to increased COVID-19 cases. In addition, we found a significant effect of education on participants’ punishment responsiveness in response to COVID-19 exposure. A second wave of data collection is planned exactly two weeks after the first one. The goal of this second wave is to replicate the findings and document the impact of increasing COVID-19 cases and deaths on people’s psychology.

description: Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can cure chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), but it remains debated whether all conventionally treated CGD patients benefit from HSCT. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 104 conventionally treated CGD patients, of whom 50 patients underwent HSCT. Results: On conventional treatment, seven patients (13%) died after a median time of 16.2 years (interquartile range [IQR] 7.0-18.0). Survival without severe complications was 10 ± 3% (mean ± SD) at the age of 20 years; 85% of patients developed at least one infection, 76% one non-infectious inflammation. After HSCT, 44 patients (88%) were alive at a median follow-up of 2.3 years (IQR 0.8-4.9): Six patients (12%) died from infections. Survival after HSCT was significantly better for patients transplanted ≤8 years (96 ± 4%) or for patients without active complications at HSCT (100%). Eight patients suffered from graft failure (16%); six (12%) developed acute graft-vs-host disease requiring systemic treatment. Conventionally treated patients developed events that required medical attention at a median frequency of 1.7 (IQR 0.8-3.2) events per year vs 0 (IQR 0.0-0.5) in patients beyond the first year post-HSCT. While most conventionally treated CGD patients failed to thrive, catch-up growth after HSCT in surviving patients reached the individual percentiles at the age of diagnosis of CGD. Conclusion: Chronic granulomatous disease patients undergoing HSCT until 8 years of age show excellent survival, but young children need more intense conditioning to avoid graft rejection. Risks and benefits of HSCT for adolescents and adults must still be weighed carefully.
Electron wave functions in beta-decay formulas revisited (II): Completion including recoil-order and induced currents

description: We present complete formulas of the allowed and first-forbidden transitions of the nuclear beta decay taking into account the recoil-order and induced currents up to the next-to-leading order (NLO). The longitudinal part of the vector current is cleared away by the use of the conservation of the vector current for the multipole operators of the natural-parity transitions, which makes the effect of the meson exchange current for the vector current as small as possible. The formula is transparent enough to be applied to various beta-decay processes. As a numerical demonstration, we apply our formulas to the beta decay of a neutron-rich nucleus $^{160}$Sn. We find that the NLO corrections amount to 10--20\% of the total decay rate, whereas the induced currents alter the rate at most 5\%.

description: In various historical, geographic and cultural contexts, inhabitants have drawn forms and structures on the landscape fruit of their social, economic and production systems. These signs represent material evidence of a unique geographic and cultural identity. The paper aims at discussing the relationship between uniqueness and universality and related aspects which deal with the mark left by man on the landscape at a large and small scale, thus focusing on base concepts of quality landscape patterns to be adopted in metadesign perspective. The design approach refers to the well-known concept of imageability, which the authors extend to the countryside where it has the potential of being fertile ground for new planning and design of rural settlements.

GROWING UP EXCEPTIONAL – THE WANING AMERICAN CENTURY: THE U.S.’ WITHDRAWAL FROM THE JCPOA THROUGH THE LENS OF ONTOLOGICAL SECURITY THEORY
Creators: name: Cebeci, Dila
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The U.S.’ withdrawal from the JCPOA has been subject to much debate, as there has been no significant change to U.S. material interest or the relationship between Iran and the U.S., hence the reason triggering President Trump’s decision to pull out of the deal must lie within different, or rather outside traditional, realms of IR theory. For the purpose of offering an alternative perspective on the matter, ontological security theory will enhance our overall comprehension of the dynamics at play. Ultimately, it will be argued that the Trump administration relies on narrational qualities such as American exceptionalism and their global hegemony, though the contemporary political climate appears much more rewarding to multilateralism as exemplified by President Obama. An increasing unilateralist approach could result in the U.S.’ eventual ontological insecurity, therefore causing more damage in the long-term than creating favorable circumstances for future foreign policy approaches and considerably limiting them instead.

description: Basilicata Region, inside the project Pays.Med.URBAN, has elaborated the Atlas of Urban Landscape, an observatory that, integrating the traditional instruments of technical-scientific analysis with photography, stresses the impact caused on local landscapes by phenomena of urban disintegration and fragmentation of agrarian- ecological-texture. From the research, articulated in section representatives of the principal and more diffuses landscape alterations, emerged a thematic that runs transversely: the safeguard of regional centers born in fascist period and during the Fifties in relation with the Agrarian Reform. They are rural settlements that strongly characterized landscape both for typological character of buildings, than for the unitary design of territories.

description: Academic reputation in higher education is important and needs to be improved, especially to answer the challenges of the academic world and the increasingly diverse scientific contributions. One way that can be done to improve academic reputation is by presenting complete and valid lecturer data. With complete and professional data on lecturers' expertise, it is hoped that the academic community at the national and international levels can quickly obtain information about lecturers who are expected to work together in the tri dharma and institutional fields. This research is an initial study to show the importance of data integration and lecturers' expertise. The Faculty of Languages and Arts supports the vision of Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) to become “a university with a conservation perspective and with an international reputation.” To achieve this, strengthening academic reputation at the global level is an absolute must.
Resting-State EEG Connectivity in Young Children With ADHD: A Potential  Neural Marker

description: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with increased risk of academic underachievement, risky behavior, and relationship instability. While the prevalence rate of ADHD is approximately 6% worldwide, diagnostic rates in early childhood range from 10-20%. Thus, improved diagnostic tools, such as neural markers, need to be explored. Prior research indicates that disrupted functional connectivity underlies ADHD in adolescents and adults. In the current study, we examined connectivity in (N = 52) children ages 3-7 years with clinical levels of ADHD in comparison to (N = 52) controls, and in relation to ADHD symptom severity. Children with ADHD had increased global efficiency, and increased global efficiency predicted increased inattentive symptoms and increased total ADHD symptoms. Additionally, increased local efficiency predicted increased inattentive symptoms. These findings extend previous work observing disruption of neural connectivity in individuals with ADHD and suggest that global and local efficiency may serve as markers of ADHD.

description: Topological vortex formation has been known as the simplest method for vortex formation in BEC of alkali atoms. This scheme requires inversion of the bias magnetic field along the axis of the condensate, which leads to atom loss when the bias field crosses zero. In this Letter, we propose a scheme with which the atom loss is greatly suppressed by adding counter-diabatic magnetic field. A naive counter-diabatic field violates the Maxwell equations and we need to introduce an approximation to make it physically feasible. The resulting field requires an extra currents, which is experimentally challenging. Finally we solve this problem by applying a gauge transformation so that the counter-diabatic field is generated by controlling the original trap field with the additional control of the bias field.

description: The post-reionization thermal state of the intergalactic medium is characterized by a power-law relationship between temperature and density, with a slope determined by the parameter $γ$. We describe a new method to measure $γ$ using the ratio of flux curvature in the Lyman-$α$ and $β$ forests. At a given redshift, this curvature ratio incorporates information from the different gas densities traced by Lyman-$α$ and $β$ absorption. It is relatively simple and fast to compute and appears robust against several observational uncertainties. We apply this technique to a sample of 27 high-resolution quasar spectra from the Very Large Telescope. While promising statistical errors on $γ$ appear to be achievable with these spectra, to reach its full potential, the dependence of the curvature ratio on the thermal state of the gas in the foreground Lyman-$α$ forest will require further, detailed forward modelling.

description: One of the many physical questions that have emerged from studies of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC concerns the validity of hydrodynamic modelling at the very early stages, when the Quark-Gluon Plasma system produced is still far from isotropy. In this article we review the idea of far-from-equilibrium hydrodynamic attractors as a way to understand how the complexity of initial states of nuclear matter is reduced so that a hydrodynamic description can be effective.

description: The general scalar-tensor theory that includes all the dimension-four terms has parameter regions that can produce successful inflation consistent with cosmological observations. This theory is in fact the same as the Higgs-Starobinsky inflation, when the scalar is identified with the Standard Model Higgs boson. We consider possible dimension-six operators constructed from non-derivative terms of the scalar field and the Ricci scalar as perturbations. We investigate how much suppression is required for these operators to avoid disrupting the successful inflationary predictions. To ensure viable cosmological predictions, the suppression scale for the sixth power of the scalar should be as high as the Planck scale. For the other terms, much smaller scales are sufficient.

description: The peri-urban and subtopic urban areas landscapes suffer not only formal irresolution, lack of characterization and indifference to the sense of place, but also lack of environmental quality, which further worsens the possibility of fruition. The environmental quality is directly interrelated with the usability and accessibility of the spaces, ensuring adequate attractiveness for users in performing different activities. In this sense the environmental characteristics, different from the aesthetic ones, bind with them to form a unique, capable of becoming instrument and rule of integration between the landscape and the object of design, giving back to spaces without identity and rule a renewed accessibility. The contribution, defined this essential relationship, explains how to develop a project tool, the site microclimate matrix, able to analyze the vocational nature of spaces to be designed and redefined in a perspective of sustainable development.

The Relationship Between Classroom Age Composition and Children’s Language and Social School Readiness Outcomes: Examining the Role of Peer Effects
Creators: name: Foster, Tiffany Jamie

Year: 2018

description: Younger and older preschool-age children are commonly placed together in mixed age classrooms. However, both theory and empirical evidence conflict over whether mixed age classrooms are the best environment for developing children. A factor that may play a role in the is peer skill as children may benefit from being around more skilled peers. The present study uses a large sample of preschoolers from low income families to examine the influence of classroom age composition and peer skill on children’s social and language outcomes. Using hierarchical linear analyses, results suggested that being in a mixed age classroom did not relate to the outcomes of children categorized into younger and older age groups. However, being around peers with higher language skills and fewer behavior problems tended to relate to more positive child outcomes. These findings suggest a need to support peer-to-peer contact in preschool between more and less skilled children.
Rendere le città accessibili per tutti

description: In Italy cities are frequently inaccessible. It is not easy to move, especially if you are disabled, elderly, children. Inadequate policies and short-sighted bureaucracy complicates the use of services. The economic crisis makes it more and more expensive and widens the gap between rich and poor. Human disqualified relations and lack of solidarity make life poor. The consequence of these conditions leads people to shut in their shells to a sense of insecurity. The meeting between individuals and communities is reduced and is always less. In order to change this picture a contribution can come from a comparison of points of view related to the choices of urban planning, urban design solutions, experiences of those living forms of disability, policies and strategies of virtuous government, but are also required new research perspectives.

An HI story of galaxies in Abell 2626 and beyond

description: Context: To study the effects of environment on galaxies we use HI observations of galaxies in and around the cluster A2626. The cluster can effectively be divided in three different environments: the cluster itself, a group environment in the periphery of the cluster (we call it the Swarm) and substructure in the cluster itself. We use these to study the dependence of galaxy properties on environment. Aims: We have explored the relationship between HI deficiency, HI morphology, and star formation deficiency for the galaxies in and around the A2626 galaxy cluster to investigate the environmental effects on those properties. Methods: To quantify asymmetries of the outer HI disc of a galaxy, we used 1) three visual classes based on the outermost reliable HI contour (settled, disturbed, unsettled HI discs), 2) the offset between the HI centre and the optical centre of a galaxy, and 3) the modified asymmetry parameter Amod as defined by Lelli et al. (2014). Results: The HI deficiency of a galaxy is strongly correlated with the projected distance from the centre of A2626. Furthermore, substructure galaxies tend to be more asymmetric than the isolated galaxies in A2626, plausibly because of more efficient tidal interactions within substructures than outside substructures. Moreover, asymmetric, offset, and smaller HI discs are not necessarily the result of the cluster environment, as they are also observed in substructures in A2626 and in the Swarm. This signifies that "pre-processing" of the HI discs of galaxies in groups or substructures plays an important role, together with the "processing" in the cluster environment. Finally, the galaxies in all three environments have slightly lower star-formation rates (SFRs) than the typical SFR for normal galaxies as manifested by their offset from the star formation main sequence, implying effective gas removal mechanisms in all three environments.
