description: Background: Although athletic endeavours are associated with a high amount of physical stress and injury, the prevalence of pain is underreported in the sports medicine literature with only a few studies reporting pain on collegiate athletes or exploring sex difference of pain. Impact of pain on athlete availability, training and performance can be mitigated when key epidemiological information is used to inform adequate pain management strategies. This study aims to 1) provide an epidemiological profile of self-reported pain experienced by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes by sex during the first half of the 2019 season, 2) describe their self-reported non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use. Methods: Online survey was completed by athletes at three NCAA institutions from 1 August to 30 September 2019. Descriptive statistics were used to describe player demographic data, self-reported pain and self-reported NSAID use. Pain incidence proportion were calculated. Results: Two hundred thirty female athletes and 83 male athletes completed the survey. Self-reported pain incidence proportion for female athletes was 45.0 (95% CI 41.5-48.5) vs 34.9 (95% CI 29.4-40.4) for male athletes. Majority of the athletes did not report pain (55% female vs 62% male) during the first half of the 2019 season. Female athletes reported pain in their back (35%), knee (26%), and ankle/foot (23%) whilst male athletes reported pain in their knee (35%), back (28%), and shoulder (24%). Of all athletes, 28% female vs 20% male athletes reported currently taking NSAIDs. Of athletes that reported pain, 46% female vs 38% male athletes currently took NSAIDs. 70% female vs 61% male athletes self-purchased NSAIDs, and 40% female vs 55% male athletes consumed alcohol. Conclusions: Half of female athletes and one in three male athletes reported pain. Most commonly back, knee and foot/ankle pain and knee, back and shoulder pain was reported in female and male athletes respectively. One in four female athletes and one in five male athletes use NSAIDs for pain or prophylactic purpose. Majority self-purchase these medications indicating need for health literacy interventions to mitigate potential adverse effects.

description: The existence of two types of internal friction wet and dry is revisited, and a simple protocol is proposed for distinguishing between the two types and extracting the appropriate internal friction coefficient. The scheme requires repeatedly stretching a polymer molecule, and measuring the average work dissipated in the process by applying the Jarzynski equality. The internal friction coefficient is then estimated from the average dissipated work in the extrapolated limit of zero solvent viscosity. The validity of the protocol is established through analytical calculations on a one-dimensional free-draining Hookean spring-dashpot model for a polymer, and Brownian dynamics simulations of: (a) a single-mode nonlinear spring-dashpot model for a polymer, and (b) a finitely extensible bead-spring chain with cohesive intra-chain interactions, both of which incorporate fluctuating hydrodynamic interactions. Well-established single-molecule manipulation techniques, such as optical tweezer-based pulling, can be used to implement the suggested protocol experimentally.

description: Tribu PHYSORHININI Candèze, 1859   Les Physorhinini afrotropicaux ne comptent encore qu’une trentaine d’espèces qui se répartissent dans deux genres dont l’importance est très inégale. Le genre Porthmidiascus Cobos, 1971, a été créé pour Porthmidiascus rufulus Cobos, espèce du Congo, mais la validité de ce genre paraît un peu douteuse et son maintien dans la tribu est précaire et à la merci de la première révision systématique qui en modifiera sans aucun doute la nomenclature. Quant au genre Podeonius Kiesenwetter, 1858, qui a été réhabilité très récemment (Ruiz 1996), il regroupe toutes les espèces afrotropicales, qui étaient naguère cataloguées dans genre Anchastus Le Conte, 1853. Ce dernier ne compte plus aujourd’hui que des espèces néotropicales.
 Avant d’énumérer les Podeonius du Nimba, il convient de signaler ici que c’est notre collègue et ami Jacques Chassain, éminent spécialiste des Coléoptères Élatérides de la faune de France, qui a récupéré il y a quelques années, les Podeonius afrotropicaux de la collection de M. Emile Taminiaux. C’est Madame Taminiaux, retirée en Espagne après la mort de son mari, qui a bien voulu lui céder pour une somme modique la précieuse boite qui contenait, non seulement des holotypes, allotypes et paratypes d’espèces décrites par Laurent & Taminiaux dans leur monographie, mais aussi des types de plusieurs espèces afrotropicales décrites par Candèze et qui appartenaient en fait à l’Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique à Bruxelles. Aujourd’hui, grâce à la générosité de notre collègue, les types de Candèze ont été rendus à leur légitime propriétaire, et une partie de ce riche matériel est conservé au Laboratoire d’Entomologie du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle de Paris.

The Challenges of Electoral Management in the 2007 General Election on Interethnic Relations in Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia Counties
Creators: name: Arusei Esther Jeptanui
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Interethnic violence has significantly impacted the social and political dynamics among communities residing in the cosmopolitan counties of Trans Nzoia and Uasin Gishu, particularly during the recurring electioneering period every five years. While various factors such as land ownership, ethnic animosity, hatred, imbalances in elective position distribution, and unhealthy competition have commonly been identified as catalysts for this violence, the role of electoral management practices in Kenya has not been adequately recognized as a primary contributor. Efforts to reform the electoral management process in Kenya have been ongoing since the inception of electioneering. The main purpose of the study was to examine the challenges of electoral management in the 2007 General Election on interethnic relations in Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia Counties. The study was guided by the theory of conflict theory. The sample size was 363 participants; election victims, former ECK officials, political aspirants, local observers, elections agents, county commissioners, chiefs, security enforcers, village elders, NGOs, and camp administrators. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample size that provided study information, by visiting their offices of which their contacts were obtained from the staff (receptionists) who were manning the offices. Descriptive survey research design and mixed method approach was used. The data was collected using interviews, questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions. A pilot study was carried out to check on reliability of the research instruments.  Quantitative data from closed-ended questions were tabulated using descriptive statistics to process data and presented in the form of charts and pie charts. Thematic analysis was used to process data collected through interviews, focused group discussion and open-ended questions for interpretation. The findings of the study showed the challenges included suspicion among residents, tribalism (13.1%), failure of EMB officials to manage results (13.0%), inadequate polling stations (4.3%), lack of trust in police enforcers (4.3%), death of non-locals, loss of property and displacements (8.7%), late opening of polling stations (4.3%), poor coordination (4.3%), harassment, lack of trust by polling officials (8.8%) and late announcement of results (13.0%). The study recommended that to prevent and manage the causes and consequences of violence, a policy for electoral violence management especially monitoring and voter-centered strategies is needed to be carried out on a long-term basis and continue between general elections.

description: One of the most significant challenges for test developers is the creation and production of effective test items. Automatic Item Generation (AIG) presents a highly-efficient approach to developing items at a relatively low cost. Research is conducted on the AIG system to explore item characteristics (or features) that impact item parameters, and to develop the appropriate calibration models for the items generated. Current research has focused on developing the AIG system within a framework of Item Response Theory. However, there may be additional benefits to developing an AIG system based on Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDM), since both AIG and CDM development start with developing cognitive models. It remains to be seen, however, to what extent the cognitive model of CDMs (Q-matrix) may be helpful to the AIG system. This research aims to assess the feasibility of adopting Q-matrix for content-related features to predict the item parameters through an empirical study (study 1). In addition, four calibration models were proposed and evaluated in a simulation study with conditions representing possible types of variations due to the CDM-based AIG process (study 2). Overall, the results of study 1 showcased the impact of the Q-matrix on item parameters that Q-matrix either alone or together with universal features explained a good amount of the variations in item parameters, especially in parameter g. The results of study 2 were promising, suggesting that the calibration models provided unbiased estimations of the person and item parameters. This research explores potential issues that may be encountered by the CDM-based AIG system and provides evidence of the advantages of building an AIG within the CDM framework.
Measurement of top quark pair production in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A measurement of the inclusive cross section of top quark pair production in association with a Z boson using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC is performed. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.5 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the CMS experiment during 2016 and 2017. The measurement is performed using final states containing three or four charged leptons (electrons or muons), and the Z boson is detected through its decay to an oppositely charged lepton pair. The production cross section is measured to be $σ(\mathrm{t\bar{t}Z})$ $=$ 0.95 $\pm$ 0.05 (stat) $\pm$ 0.06 (syst) pb. For the first time, differential cross sections are measured as functions of the transverse momentum of the Z boson and the angular distribution of the negatively charged lepton from the Z boson decay. The most stringent direct limits to date on the anomalous couplings of the top quark to the Z boson are presented, including constraints on the Wilson coefficients in the framework of the standard model effective field theory.

MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Nimba: Ziéla, U. V., 30.III. et 26.V.1957.
L’espèce est décrite d’après un seul exemplaire récolté à Tafo au Ghana, mais elle est probablement répandue dans une large partie de l’Afrique forestière occidentale.
 Podeonius mucronatus ressemble très fortement à Podeonius senegalensis Candèze. Il s’en distingue surtout par son aspect un peu moins robuste, sa pubescence plus dense, son pronotum moins convexe et plus étroit en avant, ses côtés plus obliques, sa ponctuation à points moins gros mais plus nombreux. Les antennes sont fortement dentées à partir du troisième article; le deuxième article est petit et globuleux, et le troisième est à peine moins large, mais aussi long que le quatrième.
C’est une espèce sylvicole qui ne semble pas très commune dans les forêts du Nimba, car malgré toutes les recherches qui ont été effectuées dans les différentes localités du massif, elle n’a jamais été reprise.

description: Two hundred years ago, André-Marie Ampère discovered that electric loops in which currents of electrons are generated by a penetrating magnetic field can interact with each other. Here we show that Ampère's observation can be transferred to the quantum realm of interactions between triangular plaquettes of spins on a lattice, where the electrical currents at the atomic scale are associated with a peculiar type of the orbital motion of electrons in response to the non-coplanarity of neighbouring spins playing the role of a magnetic field. The resulting topological orbital moment underlies the relation of the orbital dynamics with the topology of the spin structure. We demonstrate that the interactions of the topological orbital moments with each other and with the spins of the underlying lattice give rise to a new class of magnetic interactions $-$ topological chiral interactions $-$ which can dominate over the celebrated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, thus opening a path for the realization of new classes of chiral magnetic materials with three-dimensional magnetization textures such as magnetic hopfions.

description: A parallel algorithm using Processor Arrays with Reconfigurable Bus Systems has been designed to solve dense Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) systems of equations Ax = b. The key content of this report is the parallelisation of the algorithm by Delosme & Ipson [8]. In order to design a parallel algorithm for PARBS, many procedures involved in [8] are handled in a slightly different way. The parallel time and processor’s complexity of each step of the algorithm is calculated. The parallel time complexity is O(n) using 2n × 2n × 5n number of Processing Elements.

description: Insecurity is a state of lack of security, it is a prominent challenge facing Nigeria as a nation. This paper finds out educational approaches to combating security challenges in Nigeria. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. 40 lecturers and 160 students of four tertiary institutions were sampled using proportionate stratified random sampling technique.  The research instrument named “Questionnaire on Educational Approaches to Combating Security Challenges in Nigeria” (QEACSCN) was used for data collection.The data collected were analysed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions. The findings showed that there are various national security challenges such as kidnapping, robbery, killing, bombing, among others with its causes as unemployment, bribery and corruption, economic factor, ethnic differences, illiteracy and religious factors are the major factors contributing to insecurity in the Nigeria society. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that the government should put in place the necessary educational programmes which will make citizens more useful and self-reliant, such as vocational education, rural education and mass media education.

description: We investigate the production of the lightest neutral Higgs boson in association with tau sleptons in the CP violating minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) at future high-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ linear colliders. In parameter space of the constrained MSSM, the production cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}\to h^0\widetildeτ^+_1\widetildeτ^-_1$ can be very substantial at high energies. This process would provide a new production mechanism of neutral Higgs bosons and open a window to probe the Higgs-stau coupling and some soft supersymmetric breaking parameters at next linear colliders.

description: In High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), excellent rate-distortion (RD) performance is achieved in part by having a flexible quadtree coding unit (CU) partition and a large number of intra-prediction modes. Such an excellent RD performance is achieved at the expense of much higher computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a learned fast HEVC intra coding (LFHI) framework taking into account the comprehensive factors of fast intra coding to reach an improved configurable tradeoff between coding performance and computational complexity. First, we design a low-complex shallow asymmetric-kernel CNN (AK-CNN) to efficiently extract the local directional texture features of each block for both fast CU partition and fast intra-mode decision. Second, we introduce the concept of the minimum number of RDO candidates (MNRC) into fast mode decision, which utilizes AK-CNN to predict the minimum number of best candidates for RDO calculation to further reduce the computation of intra-mode selection. Third, an evolution optimized threshold decision (EOTD) scheme is designed to achieve configurable complexity-efficiency tradeoffs. Finally, we propose an interpolation-based prediction scheme that allows for our framework to be generalized to all quantization parameters (QPs) without the need for training the network on each QP. The experimental results demonstrate that the LFHI framework has a high degree of parallelism and achieves a much better complexity-efficiency tradeoff, achieving up to 75.2% intra-mode encoding complexity reduction with negligible rate-distortion performance degradation, superior to the existing fast intra-coding schemes.

 Anchastus fleutiauxi Girard, 1971: 641. Holotype ♁ de la Côte d’Ivoire (MNHNP).
Iconographie: Girard 1971: 640, 642.
11 individus: Lamotte et Roy, 1951; Lamotte, Amiet et Vanderplaetsen, 1956-1957; Lamotte, 1991.
 MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Nimba: prairie d’altitude, 1000 mètres, tude, 15.III.1957; id., vers 735 mètres d’altitude, 25-26.III.1991; piste de Bié, 5.XII.1951; plateau de Zouguépo, vers 900 mètres crête entre le Zougué et le Gba, vers 1100 mètres d’altitude, d’altitude, 11.XII.1956 et 26.I.1957; id., vers 1040 mètres d’alti- 12.XII.1956; Ziéla, U. V., 1-5.III.1957
 Il a été décrit d’après une vingtaine d’exemplaires capturés au piège lumineux, à la station d’Écologie tropicale de Lamto en Côte d’Ivoire. Il paraît très proche du Podeonius zambianus Candèze, 1900, du Congo, dont il présente la même taille et le même habitus. Ses antennes sont nettement serriformes à partir du quatrième article; le deuxième article est petit, plus long que large, le troisième est étroit, un peu plus long que le second, plus long que large, nettement plus étroit mais seulement un peu plus court que le quatrième.
ÉCOLOGIE. — Au Nimba, c’est certainement une de ces espèces sylvicoles qui pénètrent occasionnellement, selon les conditions écologiques des saisons, dans les milieux herbacés, et il a été capturé à plusieurs reprises dans les savanes de moyennes altitudes. Il apparaît dans les herbes comme au piège lumineux vers la fin de saison sèche et, comme en Côte d’Ivoire, il se rencontre encore au début de la saison des pluies en février et mars.

description: Bright, short duration X-ray flares from accreting compact objects produce thin, dust scattering rings that enable dust echo tomography: high precision distance measurements and mapping of the line-of-sight distribution of dust. This work looks to the past activity of X-ray transient outbursts in order to predict the number of sight lines available for dust echo tomography. We search for and measure the properties of 3$σ$ significant flares in the 2-4 keV light curves of all objects available in the public MAXI archive. We derive a fluence sensitivity limit of $10^{-3}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ for the techniques used to analyze the light curves. This limits the study mainly to flares from Galactic X-ray sources. We obtain the number density of flares and estimate the total fluence of the corresponding dust echoes. However, the sharpness of a dust echo ring depends on the duration of a flare relative to quiescence. We select flares that are shorter than their corresponding quiescent period to calculate a number density distribution for dust echo rings as a function of fluence. The results are fit with a power law of slope $-2.3 \pm 0.1$. Extrapolating this to dimmer flares, we estimate that the next generation of X-ray telescopes will be 30 times more sensitive than current observatories, resulting in 10-30 dust ring echoes per year. The new telescopes will also be 10-100 times more sensitive than Chandra to dust ring echoes from the intergalactic medium.

On the K-property of quantized Arnold cat maps

description: We prove that some quantized Arnold cat maps are entropic K-systems. This result was formulated by H. Narnhofer[1], but the fact that the optimal decomposition for the multi-channel entropy constructed there is not strictly local was not appropriately taken care of. We propose a strictly local decomposition based on a construction of Voiculescu.

description: Arnold's standard circle maps are widely used to study the quasi-periodic route to chaos and other phenomena associated with nonlinear dynamics in the presence of two rationally unrelated periodicities. In particular, the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a crucial component of climate variability on interannual time scales and it is dominated by the seasonal cycle, on the one hand, and an intrinsic oscillatory instability with a period of a few years, on the other. The role of meteorological phenomena on much shorter time scales, such as westerly wind bursts, has also been recognized and modeled as additive noise. We consider herein Arnold maps with additive, uniformly distributed noise. When the map's nonlinear term, scaled by the parameter $ε$, is sufficiently small, i.e. $ε< 1$, the map is known to be a diffeomorphism and the rotation number $ρ_ω$ is a differentiable function of the driving frequency $ω$. We concentrate on the rotation number's behavior as the nonlinearity becomes large, and show rigorously that $ρ_{ω}$ is a differentiable function of $ω$, even for $ε\geq 1$, at every point at which the noise-perturbed map is mixing. We also provide a formula for the derivative of the rotation number. The reasoning relies on linear-response theory and a computer-aided proof. In the diffeomorphism case of $ε<1$, the rotation number $ρ_{ω}$ behaves monotonically with respect to $ω$. We show, using again a computer-aided proof, that this is not the case when $ε\geq 1$ and the map is not a diffeomorphism.

Weakened Constraints from $b \to s γ$ on Supersymmetry Flavor Mixing Due to Next-To-Leading-Order Corrections

description: We examine the process $B \to X_s γ$ in minimal supersymmetry (SUSY) with general squark flavor mixings. We include all relevant next--to--leading order (NLO) QCD corrections and dominant NLO SUSY effects from the gluino. We find that gluino--squark corrections to down--type quark masses induce large NLO corrections to the dominant Wilson coefficients whose size is often similar to those at LO, especially at large $\tanβ$. For $μ>0$, destructive interference, and suppression by the renormalization group running lead to a ``focusing effect'' of reducing the size of gluino corrections to the branching ratio, and also of reducing the LO sensitivity to flavor mixings among squarks. Constraints from $B(B \to X_s γ)$ on the SUSY--breaking scale can become significantly weakened relative to the minimal flavor violation case, even, at large $\tanβ$, for small flavor mixings. The case of $μ<0$ can also becomes allowed.

description: Probabilistic cataloging (PCAT) outperforms traditional cataloging methods on single-band optical data in crowded fields (Portillo et al. 2017). We extend our work to multiple bands, achieving greater sensitivity ($\sim$ 0.4 mag) and greater speed (500x) compared to previous single-band results. We demonstrate the effectiveness of multiband PCAT on mock data, both in terms of recovering accurate posteriors in the catalog space, and in directly deblending sources. When applied to Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) observations of M2, taking Hubble Space Telescope data as truth, our joint fit on $r$ and $i$ band data goes $\sim0.4$ mag deeper than single-band probabilistic cataloging and has a false discovery rate less than 20\% for F606W$\leq 20$. Compared to DAOPHOT, the two-band SDSS catalog fit goes nearly 1.5 magnitudes deeper using the same data, and maintains a lower false discovery rate down to F606W$\sim 20.5$. Given recent improvements in computational speed, multiband PCAT shows promise in application to large-scale surveys and is a plausible framework for joint analysis of multi-instrument observational data.

description: Podeonius klugi (Candèze, 1881), n. comb.
 Anchastus klugi Candèze, 1881: 60. Lectotype ♁ probablement du Gabon (IRSNB).
Iconographie: Laurent & Taminiaux 1962: 116, 127.
6 individus: Lamotte, 1942; Lamotte, Amiet et Vanderplaetsen, 1956-1957.
MATÉRIEL EXAMINÉ. — Nimba: Yalanzou, II-VI.1942; Ziéla, U. V., 18.II. et 30.III.1957.
 Les premiers exemplaires qui ont servi à la description de l’espèce proviennent du Gabon. Il ne semble pas rare au Cameroun (J. Cantaloube), et j’en possède même quelques échantillons identifiés par notre collègue von Hayek, qui sont de l’Urundi-Bururi (R.P. Giraudin), et qui se distinguent à peine de ceux du Nimba. Même si sa distribution géographique reste encore très imprécise, il ne fait aucun doute que le Podeonius klugi est répandu dans une grande partie de l’Afrique intertropicale forestière. Toutefois, son identification reste toujours délicate car il rentre dans un groupe qui compte plusieurs espèces dont les habitus sont extrèmement voisins. Il convient d’être très prudent en ce qui concerne les anciennes citations.
 Je rappelle ici que les antennes du Podeonius klugi sont dentées à partir du troisième article; le deuxième est petit et subglobuleux et aussi long que large; le troisième est large, triangulaire, un peu moins large mais à peine moins long que le quatrième.
C’est une espèce très probablement sylvicole. Malgré les nombreuses missions entomologiques qui se sont succédé sur le massif, elle n’a pas été reprise depuis de nombreuses années.
