description: Austrotachardiella colombiana Kondo and Gullan
 Material studied. Colombia, Valle del Cauca: Alcalá: Finca La Pastora, 04°39 ′ 41.6 ″ N, 75°47 ′ 46.6 ″ W, 1240 m, 27.iv.2009, coll. J. Muñoz, ex avocado cv. ‘Papelillo’ (‘Lorena’), 1 (UVCO).
 Distribution. Colombia (Kondo and Gullan 2005).
 Remarks. We found a single specimen of A. colombiana on the twig of a tree of the ‘Lorena’ cultivar. Austrotachardiella colombiana was originally described by Kondo and Gullan (2005) based on specimens collected on two cultivars of guava, Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae). This is the first record of this species on avocado worldwide. It is not considered a species of economic importance on avocados.

description: The most common way to assess handedness is based on the preferred hand for writing, leading to a binary (left or right) trait. Handedness can also be assessed as a continuous trait with laterality indexes, but these are not time and cost-effective, and are not routinely collected. Rarely, different handedness measures are collected for the same individuals. Here, we assessed the relationship of preferred hand for writing with four laterality indexes, reported in previous in the literature, derived from measures of dexterity (pegboard task, marking squares and sorting matches) and strength (grip strength), available in a range of N = 6664–8069 children from the ALSPAC cohort. Although all indexes identified a higher proportion of individuals performing better with their right hand, they showed low correlation with each other (0.08–0.3). Left handers were less consistent compared to right handers in performing better with their dominant hand, but that varied across indexes, i.e. 13% left handers performed better with their right hand on marking squares compared to 48% for sorting matches and grip strength. Analysis of sex effects on the laterality indexes showed that males and females tend to be, on all measures, more left-and right-lateralized, respectively. Males were also over-represented among the individuals performing equally with both hands suggesting they had a higher tendency to be weakly lateralized. This study shows that different handedness measures tap into different dimensions of laterality and cannot be used interchangeably. The trends observed across indexes for males and females suggest that sex effects should be taken into account in handedness and laterality studies.

description: Renormalization-group (RG) flow equations have been derived for the generalized sine-Gordon model (GSGM) and the Coulomb gas (CG) in d >= 3 of dimensions by means of Wegner's and Houghton's, and by way of the real-space RG approaches. The UV scaling laws determined by the leading-order terms of the flow equations are in qualitative agreement for all dimensions d >= 3, independent of the dimensionality, and in sharp contrast to the special case d = 2. For the 4-dimensional GSGM it is demonstrated explicitly (by numerical calculations), that the blocked potential tends to a constant effective potential in the infrared (IR) limit, satisfying the requirements of periodicity and convexity. The comparison of the RG flows for the three-dimensional GSGM, the CG, and the vortex-loop gas reveals a significant dependence on the renormalization schemes and the approximations used.

description: A new series of N'-substituted benzylidene-2-(4-oxo-2-phenyl-1,4-dihydroquinazolin-3(2H)-yl)acetohydrazide (5a–5 h) has been synthesized, characterized by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry and tested against human monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B. Only (3-methoxy-4-hydroxy)benzoyl substituted compounds gave submicromolar inhibition of MAO-A and MAO-B. Changing the phenyl substituent to methyl on the unsaturated quinazoline ring (12a–12d) decreased inhibition, but a less flexible linker (14a–14d) resulted in selective micromolar inhibition of hMAO-B providing insight for ongoing design.

description: We observed seven central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), and performed a model-based analysis of these spectra in conjunction with Hubble Space Telescope (HST) spectra in the UV and optical range to determine the stellar and nebular parameters. Most of the objects show wind features, and they have effective temperatures ranging from 38 to 60 kK with mass-loss rates of ~= 5x10^-8 Msun/yr. Five of the objects have typical LMC abundances. One object (SMP LMC 61) is a [WC4] star, and we fit its spectra with He/C/O-rich abundances typical of the [WC] class, and find its atmosphere to be iron-deficient. Most objects have very hot (T ~> 2000 K) molecular hydrogen in their nebulae, which may indicate a shocked environment. One of these (SMP LMC 62) also displays OVI 1032-38 nebular emission lines, rarely observed in PN.

description: Extant weevils exhibit a remarkable colour palette that ranges from muted monochromatic tones to rainbow-like iridescence, with the most vibrant colours produced by three-dimensional photonic nanostructures housed within cuticular scales. Although the optical properties of these nanostructures are well understood, their evolutionary history is not fully resolved, in part due to a poor knowledge of their fossil record. Here, we report three-dimensional photonic nanostructures preserved in brightly coloured scales of two weevils, belonging either to the genus Phyllobius or Polydrusus, from the Pleistocene (16–10 ka) of Switzerland. The scales display vibrant blue, green and yellow hues that resemble those of extant Phyllobius/Polydrusus. Scanning electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses reveal that the subfossil scales possess a single-diamond photonic crystal nanostructure. In extant Phyllobius/Polydrusus, the near-angle-independent blue and green hues function primarily in crypsis. The preservation of far-field, angle-independent structural colours in the Swiss subfossil weevils and their likely function in substrate matching confirm the importance of investigating fossil and subfossil photonic nanostructures to understand the evolutionary origins and diversification of colours and associated behaviours (e.g. crypsis) in insects.

description: In the second decade of the 21st century, blockchain definitely became one of the most trending computational technologies. This research aims to question the feasibility and suitability of using blockchain technology within e-voting systems, regarding both technical and non-technical aspects. In today's world, although the course of this spreading is considerably slow, several countries already use means of e-voting due to many social and economic reasons, which we further investigated. Nevertheless, the number of countries offering various e-government solutions, apart from e-voting, is significantly high. E-voting systems, naturally, require much more attention and assurance regarding potential security and anonymity issues, since voting is one of the few extremely critical governmental processes. Nevertheless, e-voting is not purely a governmental service, but many companies and nonprofit organizations would benefit the cost-efficiency, scalability, remote accessibility, and ease of use that it provides. Blockchain technology is claimed to be able to address some, obviously not all, important security concerns, including anonymity, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation. The analysis results presented in this article mostly confirm these claims.

description: In vorliegender Arbeit wurde ein Training zur Emotionsregulation im Team entwickelt, getestet und evaluiert. Emotionsregulation auf Teamebene ist im Zusammenhang mit dem Konflikttyp Beziehungskonflikt der relevante Teamprozessfaktor, um Teamleistung und Teamzufriedenheit positiv zu beeinflussen. Durch den präventiven Trainingsansatz sollen Beziehungskonflikte besser bearbeitet, eingedämmt oder verhindert werden. Die Entwicklung basierte auf einer Literaturrecherche zur Sammlung von aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und der Sichtung von bereits bestehenden Trainingskonzepten. Basierend darauf wurde ein rund dreistündiges Präsenztraining für Teams der Arbeitswelt mit sechs bis zehn Personen mit dem Fokus auf Emotionswahrnehmung und Emotionsregulation entwickelt. In der Testphase wurde das Training in einem Pretest (n = 6) und einer realen Durchführung (n = 6) getestet. Das kasuistische Evaluationsdesign umfasste die 5-Finger-Methode (im Training selbst) und einen Onlineevaluationsfragebogen für die Teilnehmenden (zwei Wochen nach dem Training) sowie zwei Expert*inneninterviews mit einer fachverantwortlichen Person des realen Testteams und einer Fachperson aus dem Bereich Personal- und Organisationsentwicklung, um verschiedene Perspektiven zu beleuchten. Die Ergebnisse aus der Testung und Evaluation deuten darauf hin, dass das Training bei den Teilnehmenden grundsätzlich auf Akzeptanz stösst. Es wurde von diesen als zufriedenstellend und nützlich empfunden. Inwiefern das Training wirksam bezüglich nachhaltiger Veränderungen im Verhalten war, lässt sich aufgrund der Evaluation nicht beurteilen. Das Training sollte individueller auf die unterschiedlichen Bedürfnisse zugeschnitten und in seiner Komplexität reduziert werden. Die Transferförderlichkeit des Trainings und der Aspekt der freiwilligen Teilnahme sind in kommenden Arbeiten tiefergehend zu untersuchen.

description: The field-theoretical result for the low-$T$ behaviour of the correlation length of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square lattice was recently improved by Hasenfratz [Eur. Phys. J. B {\bf 13}, 11 (2000)], who corrected for cutoff effects. We show that starting from his expression, and exploiting our knowledge of the classical thermodynamics of the model, it is possible to take into account non-linear effects which are responsible for the main features of the correlation length at intermediate temperature. Moreover, we find that cutoff effects lead to the appearance of an effective exchange integral depending on the very same renormalization coefficients derived in the framework of the semiclassical {\em pure-quantum self-consistent harmonic approximation}: The gap between quantum field-theoretical and semiclassical results is here eventually bridged.

description: Der demografische Wandel wird das Gesundheitswesen in naher Zukunft vor grosse Herausforderungen stellen. Einerseits werden Tausende Fachkräfte aufgrund der Schweizer Altersstruktur in den nächsten Jahren fehlen. Andererseits erhöht sich mit der zunehmenden Lebenserwartung der Gesellschaft auch der Pflegebedarf der Schweizer:innen. Hinzu kommen die besonders belastenden Arbeitsbedingungen im Gesundheitswesen, die sich in erhöhten Krankheitskennzahlen manifestieren und Ausfälle sowie Fluktuationen verursachen. Um in Zukunft die talentierten Nachwuchskräfte der neuen Generationen mit veränderten Werte- und Normvorstellungen anzuziehen und gewinnen zu können, müssen sich Unternehmen im Gesundheitswesen mit sich als Arbeitgeber:inmarke auseinandersetzen. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, wie der grösste Zentralschweizer Arbeitgeber mit diesen herausfordernden Gegebenheiten umgeht. Mittels qualitativen Interviews (N=16) wird untersucht, welche Faktoren die wahrgenommene Attraktivität des Pflegeberufes am Luzerner Kantonsspital beeinflussen. Ebenfalls Teil der Studie sind mögliche Auswirkungen der Einführung von New Work-Ansätzen auf die Anziehungskraft des Pflegeberufes. Aus den Ergebnissen geht hervor, dass die diplomierten Pflegefachpersonen insbesondere die Tätigkeitsmerkmale Ganzheitlichkeit, Selbstbestimmung, Sinnhaftigkeit sowie die Zusammenarbeit als entscheidend für die wahrgenommene Attraktivität beurteilen. Die Meinung zur Einführung von New Work Ansätzen ist gespalten, allerdings ist eine Tendenz zu beobachten, dass damit möglicherweise eine Attraktivitätssteigerung herbeigeführt werden kann. Hinsichtlich der Themen Aufgabenvielfalt und Feedback konnten Differenzen zwischen den Generationen festgestellt werden.

description: The first zine in this project was a series of hundred-word reflections (Lauren & Berlandt, 2019) [“four hundreds for me”] I wrote sitting under my desk at 7am in the middle of winter, underneath my a/r/tographic playmat. Somewhat compulsively, I wrote zine after zine as a sense-making exercise (Greene, 1987; Haynes, 2001), initially to examine my inability to participate in my own research. The turn occurs when I see these zines as a/r/tographic openings (Irwin, 2013) for and as research.These zines unfolded to story reasons why I could not participate in my own research, including being tired [“four hundreds for me”], being overwhelmed [“how to do dishes”], discomfort around being a working mother [“Re/searching, art/making, m/othering”] and the feeling of drowning [“What Are You Doing in Gloomy Hollow?”]. I explored my inability to participate in a living inquiry that felt haunted by postpartum psychosis and the unravelling of significant childhood trauma [“eeexxxccceessss” and “[sur]renderings: contiguity and living inquiry”]. I folded a longtime friend into the process [“how to make a zine when your life is falling apart”] and started to see the boundaries between my personal zine-making and the zines made as da/r/ta by participants shift; they started to overlap. I started to see their grief for their schools mirrored in my own grief for my research [“an ode to our goals for education (or something”] and my drowning in motherhood as contiguous with their drowning in schools [“neither of these wolves can do it”].This is an 8-page zine comprised of four 100 word pieces of writing that each explore my inability to do research: a hundred for the Me who is Tired, a hundred for the Me who Doesn’t Know Anymore, a hundred for the Me who is Lost and a hundred for the Me who Rots.

description: The level of spatial complexity associated with a given vector field on an arbitrary range of scales \iffalse ${\bf F(x}, t)$ can be quantified by a simple, time-dependent function $S(t)={1\over 2}(1-\hat{\bf F}_l.\hat{\bf F}_L)_{rms}$ with ${\bf F}_l$ (${\bf F}_L$) being the average field in a volume of scale $l$ ($L>l$) and the unit vector defined as $\hat{\bf F}={\bf F}/|{\bf F}|$. Thus,\fi can be quantified by a simple, scale-dependent function of time; $0\leq S(t)\leq 1$. Previous work has invoked kinetic and magnetic complexities, associated with velocity and magnetic fields ${\bf u(x}, t)$ and ${\bf B(x}, t)$, to study magnetic reconnection and diffusion in turbulent and magnetized fluids. In this paper, using the coarse-grained momentum equation, we argue that the fluid jets associated with magnetic reconnection events at an arbitrary scale $l$ in the turbulence inertial range are predominantly driven by the Lorentz force ${\bf{N}}_l=({\bf j\times B})_l-{\bf j}_l\times {\bf B}_l$. This force, is induced by the subscale currents and is analogous to the turbulent electromotive force ${\cal E}_l=({\bf u\times B})_l-{\bf u}_l\times {\bf B}_l$ in dynamo theories. Typically, high (low) magnetic complexities during reconnection imply large (small) spatial gradients for the magnetic field, i.e., strong (weak) Lorentz forces ${\bf N}_l$. Reconnection launches jets of fluid, hence the rate of change of kinetic complexity is expected to strongly correlate with the power injected by the Lorentz force ${\bf N}_l$. We test this prediction using an incompressible, homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation and associate it with previous results. It follows that the stronger (weaker) the turbulence, the more (less) complex the magnetic field and the stronger (weaker) the reconnection field and thus the ensuing reconnection.
Soil erosion and sedimentation control aspect of Malaysia’s EIA approval conditions: A study of the compliance status in Kedah

description: In 2011 Malaysia’s Department of Environment (DOE) has implemented an EIA improvement package to strengthen the soil erosion and sedimentation control aspects of EIA projects through the introduction of 26 new EIA approval conditions. This study discusses the status of compliance with the implementation of EIA approval conditions. Two main methods are used, namely, data mining from DOE database system and interviews with four enforcement officers. Data mining pertained to the enforcement sub-module of the e-KAS database system. Enforcement data collected were analyzed to discern the compliance of EIA approval conditions in 2012, 2013 and 2014. This study found high non-compliance during the earthworks stage in these years. There were 24 notices issued by the DOE for non-compliance cases. Failure to appoint an Environmental Officer to supervise the implementation of erosion and sedimentation control plan was found to be the major cause of non-compliance by project proponents. In-depth interviews with four enforcement officers revealed three main causes of non-compliance, namely, low commitment of the project proponent, lack of budget for the implementation of the environmental management plan, and lack of knowledge in carrying out the compliance activities of the EIA approval conditions.

description: Jet Tomography is proposed as a new test of Color Glass Condensate (CGC) initial conditions in non-central $A+A$ collisions. The $k_{T}$ factorized CGC formalism is used to calculate the rapidity twist in the reaction plane of both the bulk low $p_T< 2$ GeV matter as well as the rare high $p_T> 6$ GeV partons. Unlike conventional perturbative QCD, the initial high $p_{T}$ CGC gluons are shown to be twisted even further away from the beam axis than the the low $p_T$ bulk at high rapidities $|η|>2$. Differential directed flow $v_{1}(p_{T}>6,|η|>2)$ is proposed to test this novel high $p_T$ rapidity twist predicted by the CGC model.

description: A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a collection of tiny nodes that have low energy levels and have become an essential component of the modern communication infrastructure and very important in industry and academia. Energy is crucial in WSN, and thus the design of WSN in the research community is based on energy efficiency, and node energy consumption is a great challenge to enhance WSN's lifetime. It may be costly or even impossible to charge or replace consumed batteries because of the difficult environment. Many energy efficiency methods are introduced in this article to decrease energy consumption, improve network performance and increase network lifetime.

description: We analyze the effect of realistic noise sources for an atomic clock consisting of a local oscillator that is actively locked to a spin-squeezed (entangled) ensemble of $N$ atoms. We show that the use of entangled states can lead to an improvement of the long-term stability of the clock when the measurement is limited by decoherence associated with instability of the local oscillator combined with fluctuations in the atomic ensemble's Bloch vector. Atomic states with a moderate degree of entanglement yield the maximal clock stability, resulting in an improvement that scales as $N^{1/6}$ compared to the atomic shot noise level.

description: Biomolecules carry out very specialized tasks inside the cell where energies involved are few tens of k_BT, small enough for thermal fluctuations to be relevant in many biomolecular processes. In this paper I discuss a few concepts and present some experimental results that show how the study of fluctuation theorems applied to biomolecules contributes to our understanding of the nonequilibrium thermal behavior of small systems.

description: Clean materials are required to construct and operate many low-background physics experiments. High-purity copper has found broad use because of its physical properties and availability. In this paper, we describe methods to assay and mitigate $^{210}$Pb contamination on copper surfaces, such as from exposure to environmental radon or coming from bulk impurities. We evaluated the efficacy of wet etching on commercial samples and observed that $^{210}$Po contamination from the copper bulk does not readily pass into solution. During the etch, the polonium appears to trap at the copper-etchant boundary, such that it is effectively concentrated at the copper surface. We observed a different behavior for $^{210}$Pb; high-sensitivity measurements of the alpha emissivity versus time indicate the lowest level of $^{210}$Pb contamination ever reported for a commercial copper surface: $0\pm12$ nBq/cm$^2$ (1$σ$). Additionally, we have demonstrated the effectiveness of mitigating trace $^{210}$Pb and $^{210}$Po surface backgrounds using custom, high-purity electroplating techniques. These approaches were evaluated utilizing assays performed with an XIA UltraLo-1800 alpha spectrometer.

description: The impacts of mandatory production control of major crops on U.S. agricultural exports and on the global agricultural markets are analyzed by using a world agricultural trade model. The model results indicate that there would be drastic reduction in U.S. agricultural exports. Major grain exporters would greatly benefit from the U.S. production control policy. Consumers generally would be worse off at global level.

description: We present a new semi-empirical model for the dust continuum number counts of galaxies at 1.1 millimeter and 850 \micron. Our approach couples an observationally motivated model for the stellar mass and SFR distribution of galaxies with empirical scaling relations to predict the dust continuum flux density of these galaxies. Without a need to tweak the IMF, the model reproduces the currently available observations of the 1.1 millimeter and 850 \micron number counts, including the observed flattening in the 1.1 millimeter number counts below 0.3 mJy \citep{Gonzalez2019numbercounts} and the number counts in discrete bins of different galaxy properties. Predictions of our work include : (1) the galaxies that dominate the number counts at flux densities below 1 mJy (3 mJy) at 1.1 millimeter (850 $μ$m) have redshifts between $z=1$ and $z=2$, stellar masses of $\sim 5\times10^{10}~\rm{M}_\odot$, and dust masses of $\sim 10^{8}~\rm{M}_\odot$; (2) the flattening in the observed 1.1 millimeter number counts corresponds to the knee of the 1.1 millimeter luminosity function. A similar flattening is predicted for the number counts at 850 $μ$m; (3) the model reproduces the redshift distribution of current 1.1 millimeter detections; (4) to efficiently detect large numbers of galaxies through their dust continuum, future surveys should scan large areas once reaching a 1.1 millimeter flux density of 0.1 mJy rather than integrating to fainter fluxes. Our modeling framework also suggests that the amount of information on galaxy physics that can be extracted from the 1.1 millimeter and 850 $μ$m number counts is almost exhausted.

description: Greenhouse gas emissions have become a large concern with regards to climate change and the environment. Research and the subsequent development of a Carbon Smart Food Guide, Carbon Smart Food Label and companion website materials can help to reduce GHG emissions by empowering consumers. Armed with the knowledge provided, consumers can begin to make a difference with the individual choices that they make each day. A carbon smart food is defined as a food selection that contributes the least amount of CO₂, thus reducing the environmental consequences from GHGs. Suggestions to be carbon smart include eating vegetarian, consuming less meat, eating lower on the food chain, choosing local and seasonal foods when possible and choosing organic. Recommendations for the future include experimental research into the GHG emissions of specific production methods and foods produced, practical teaching in classrooms regarding carbon smart choices, and further research into implementation of the food label. Specifically, how to measure and subsequently rank how carbon smart a food is based on distance traveled and production method.

description: `Strange metals' with resistivity depending linearly on temperature $T$ down to low-$T$ have been a long-standing puzzle in condensed matter physics. Here, we consider a model of itinerant spin-$1/2$ fermions interacting via on-site Hubbard interaction and random infinite-ranged spin-spin interaction. We show that the quantum critical point associated with the melting of the spin-glass phase by charge fluctuations displays non-Fermi liquid behaviour, with local spin dynamics identical to that of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev family of models. This extends the quantum spin liquid dynamics previously established in the large-$M$ limit of $SU(M)$ symmetric models, to models with physical $SU(2)$ spin-$1/2$ electrons. Remarkably, the quantum critical regime also features a Planckian linear-$T$ resistivity associated with a $T$-linear scattering rate and a frequency dependence of the electronic self-energy consistent with the Marginal Fermi Liquid phenomenology.

description: Changes in the supply curve caused by technological improvements in production or changes in national policy may or may not benefit producers as a whole, depending on the type of shift in the supply curve. Different changes in the supply curve that model this situation are studied and the change in producers surplus is examined depending on quantitative aspects of the supply and demand curves. It is shown that for supply and demand curves that are linear or power functions, a small downward pivot of the supply curve will increase producers surplus only if the equilibrium point is far enough into the elastic region of the demand curve, and any downward pivot of the supply curve will decrease producers surplus if the equilibrium point is in the inelastic region of the demand curve. Similar results are obtained for the more general case of convex supply and demand curves.
