description: Tomando distancia de la perspectiva dominante, el presente capítulo plantea que el régimen de las nulidades del contrato estatal no puede más que visualizarse como un espacio caracterizado por la convergencia y la sustantividad de la figura del contrato estatal: lo primero, por cuanto pocos asuntos como este permiten apreciar de forma tan nítida la convergencia e integración del Derecho público y el Derecho privado en el ámbito de la contratación estatal; lo segundo, puesto que es también un escenario privilegiado para la búsqueda del sentido y la identidad de este régimen. En aras de demostrar esta realidad, el texto realiza, en primer lugar, una aproximación al significado de la nulidad contractual como categoría del Derecho en general y del Derecho Administrativo en particular; para adentrarse después en el estudio de las peculiaridades que pueden observarse en el régimen de las nulidades del contrato estatal, como escenario idóneo para comprender el sentido y la identidad de esta figura, así como para contribuir a su sustantivación.
description: Taking distance from the dominant perspective, this chapter posits that the regime of nullities of the public contract can only be visualized as a figure characterized by the convergence of private and public law, as well as for the substantivity of the public contract. The first, since few issues such as this allows us to clearly appreciate the convergence and integration of public law and private law in the field of state contracting; the second, since it is also a privileged setting for the search for the meaning and identity of the singular public law regime implied by the public contract in our constitutional and legal system. In order to demonstrate this reality, the text makes, first of all, an approach to the meaning of contractual nullity as a category of Law in general and Administrative Law in particular; to then delve into the study of the peculiarities that can be observed in the legal regime of nullities of the public contract, as an ideal scenario to understand the meaning and identity of this figure, as well as to contribute to the construction of its substantial and singular understanding.

description: SuperNEMO is searching for the neutrinoless double-beta decay process which, if observed, would prove the Majorana nature of the neutrino. It builds on the strengths of its predecessor, NEMO-3, which has set competitive 0νββ limits for multiple isotopes. Using an improved version of NEMO-3's tracker-calorimeter architecture, the SuperNEMO demonstrator aims to measure the 0νββ halflife of 82Se with a sensitivity of 6×1024 years for 17.5 kg.years of exposure. We will begin taking data in 2018.

To reach this sensitivity, we need to have excellent control of backgrounds. This poster will show how our unique, high-resolution tracking design gives us an unprecedented ability to exclude and constrain our backgrounds, particularly those due to radon and natural 214Bi and 208Tl contamination of our ββ sources. We will explain how we reconstruct events generated by various processes, and how we use them to estimate our sensitivity.

description: In this paper, we investigate how model distillation impacts the development of reasoning features in large language models (LLMs). To explore this, we train a crosscoder on Qwen-series models and their fine-tuned variants. Our results suggest that the crosscoder learns features corresponding to various types of reasoning, including self-reflection and computation verification. Moreover, we observe that distilled models contain unique reasoning feature directions, which could be used to steer the model into over-thinking or incisive-thinking mode. In particular, we perform analysis on four specific reasoning categories: (a) self-reflection, (b) deductive reasoning, (c) alternative reasoning, and (d) contrastive reasoning. Finally, we examine the changes in feature geometry resulting from the distillation process and find indications that larger distilled models may develop more structured representations, which correlate with enhanced distillation performance. By providing insights into how distillation modifies the model, our study contributes to enhancing the transparency and reliability of AI systems.

description: High-resolution optical satellite sensors, combined with dense stereo algorithms, have made it possible to reconstruct 3D city models from space. However, these models are, in practice, rather noisy and tend to miss small geometric features that are clearly visible in the images. We argue that one reason for the limited quality may be a too early, heuristic reduction of the triangulated 3D point cloud to an explicit height field or surface mesh. To make full use of the point cloud and the underlying images, we introduce ImpliCity, a neural representation of the 3D scene as an implicit, continuous occupancy field, driven by learned embeddings of the point cloud and a stereo pair of ortho-photos. We show that this representation enables the extraction of high-quality DSMs: with image resolution 0.5$\,$m, ImpliCity reaches a median height error of $\approx\,$0.7$\,$m and outperforms competing methods, especially w.r.t. building reconstruction, featuring intricate roof details, smooth surfaces, and straight, regular outlines.

description: One of the fundamental tasks of autonomous driving is safe trajectory planning, the task of deciding where the vehicle needs to drive, while avoiding obstacles, obeying safety rules, and respecting the fundamental limits of road. Real-world application of such a method involves consideration of surrounding environment conditions and movements such as Lane Change, collision avoidance, and lane merge. The focus of the paper is to develop and implement safe collision free highway Lane Change trajectory using high order polynomial for Highly Automated Driving Function (HADF). Planning is often considered as a higher-level process than control. Behavior Planning Module (BPM) is designed that plans the high-level driving actions like Lane Change maneuver to safely achieve the functionality of transverse guidance ensuring safety of the vehicle using motion planning in a scenario including environmental situation. Based on the recommendation received from the (BPM), the function will generate a desire corresponding trajectory. The proposed planning system is situation specific with polynomial based algorithm for same direction two lane highway scenario. To support the trajectory system polynomial curve can be used to reduces overall complexity and thereby allows rapid computation. The proposed Lane Change scenario is modeled, and results has been analyzed (verified and validate) through the MATLAB simulation environment. The method proposed in this paper has achieved a significant improvement in safety and stability of Lane Changing maneuver.

description: En la presente investigación se realiza un análisis de los riesgos psicosociales, específicamente los intralaborales y su relación con la calidad de vida laboral de los trabajadores de la Gobernación de Boyacá. Dentro los factores de riesgo psicosocial intralaboral, se destaca los dominios de demandas del trabajo, entre los cuales se encuentran: consistencia del rol, demandas emocionales, demandas cuantitativas, demandas de carga mental, exigencias de responsabilidad de cargo, demandas ambientales y de esfuerzo físico, demandas de jornada de trabajo e influencia del entorno laboral sobre el extralaboral, para lo cual se tomaron los resultados de la aplicación la Batería de Riesgo Psicosocial, diseñada por la Universidad Javeriana y el Ministerio de Trabajo. De igual manera, se identifica afectación en la calidad de vida de los servidores públicos de la Gobernación de Boyacá, pues como resultado de la medición de las variables objetivas y subjetivas, se encontró de manera general, que los procesos de comunicación, las dinámicas internas entre jefes y subalternos, así como entre pares, las formas de brindar instrucciones y retroalimentar el trabajo, generan diferentes sensaciones, sentimientos y comportamientos que afectan al trabajador e incluso trascienden a su esfera extralaboral.
description: In this research, an analysis of psychosocial risks, specifically intralaboral risks and their relationship with the quality of work life of the workers of the Governor's Office of Boyacá is carried out. Within the intralaboral psychosocial risk factors, the domains of work demands stand out, among which are: role consistency, emotional demands, quantitative demands, mental load demands, position responsibility demands, environmental and physical effort demands, workday demands and influence of the work environment on the extra-work environment, for which the results of the application of the Psychosocial Risk Battery, designed by the Universidad Javeriana and the Ministry of Labor, were taken. Similarly, the quality of life of the public servants of the Governor's Office of Boyacá is affected, since as a result of the measurement of the objective and subjective variables, it was generally found that the communication processes, the internal dynamics between bosses and subordinates, as well as between peers, the ways of giving instructions and providing feedback on the work, generate different sensations, feelings and behaviors that affect the worker and even transcend to his or her extra-work sphere.

description: Dans un univers caractérisé par l'ouverture de l'économie, la mondialisation des connaissances, l'évolution des médias et de la communication, et afin de ne pas être dépassé par ces événements, il est nécessaire de maintenir un rythme de développement technologique indexé à cette évolution. Dans ce contexte, la formation constitue un facteur incontournable, un élément clé pour toute stratégie de développement économique et social. Elle permet de tirer parti des aspects positifs, et de contourner les inconvénients des flux continus d'information qui envahissent toutes les populations. Sous ces pressions, de nombreux pays ont procédé à l'introduction de profondes réformes qui touchent à la qualité, la quantité et à la façon d’organiser leurs systèmes d’éducation, en particulier l'enseignement supérieur. En effet, les programmes proposés aux étudiants de l'enseignement supérieur doivent intégrer la dimension nationale et internationale afin d’étudier les changements perpétuels de ce globe, en tenant compte de la dimension nationale et culturelle. Ce qui constituera une vision positive et réaliste sur le développement économique et social des sociétés de sorte que les jeunes diplômés peuvent intégrer positivement le marché de l’emploi. Cette situation de la société et de l'économie exige la mise en œuvre d’une stratégie claire, visant et faisant participer toutes les parties qui interviennent dans le secteur d’enseignement supérieur. Stratégie qui part d’un diagnostic précis des problèmes et des déséquilibres réels du système éducatif actuel, et leur propose des solutions adéquates, au lieu d’importer des programmes conçus pour d’autres sociétés ou prescrites par les organismes internationaux. Conscients de ces défis et enjeux, nous avons choisi de consacrer le premier dossier de la revue au sujet de l’enseignement supérieur.

description: We consider fermions defined on a continuous one-dimensional interval and subject to weak repulsive two-body interactions. We show that it is possible to perturbatively construct an extensive number of mutually compatible conserved charges for any interaction potential. However, the contributions to the densities of these charges at second order and higher are generally non-local and become spatially localized only if the potential fulfils certain compatibility conditions. We prove that the only solutions to the first of these conditions are the Cheon-Shigehara potential (fermionic dual to the Lieb-Liniger model) and the Calogero-Sutherland potentials. We use our construction to show how Generalized Hydrodynamics (GHD) emerges from the Bogoliubov--Born--Green--Kirkwood--Yvon hierarchy, and argue that GHD in the weak interaction regime is robust under non-integrable perturbations.

description: Abstract: This study was designed to investigate ICT acceptance and adoption as predictors of information use environment among secondary school students in newly upgraded state universities Southwest, Nigeria. Survey research design was employed for the study, the population size consisted of 337 students of Senior Secondary School One (SSS I) using total enumeration sampling technique. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection; seven research questions and three null hypotheses were formulated for this study. Output format of SPSS based on simple frequency count, percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and multiple regression were used for data analysis. The findings of this study revealed that there was a significant relationship between ICT acceptance and Information Use Environment as well as a significant relationship between ICT adoption and Information Use Environment. Information sources and information services mostly used are electronic dictionaries, electronic books, educational softwares and internet, mobile phone and television while mobile phone, internet, television and social media respectively are the mostly used ICT resources for information among secondary school students in newly upgraded state universities in Southwest, Nigeria. The location of their information use environment are their homes, school library or school resource centre as well as the parents’ offices for academic and entertainment purposes. The major identified problems in the use of information environment are: instability of network services, that is, internet connectivity, information overload, ineffective use of technology, unstable power supply. Part of the recommendations made was that that Government should ensure that ICT policy statements are translated into reality; school management should invest in custom-made digital materials with highly relevant content suitable for secondary school students. These will cub the abuse/ misuse of internet.

description: The high Chern number phases with the Chern number |C| > 1 are observed in this study of a periodically driven extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (E-SSH) model with a cyclic parameter. Besides the standard intra-dimer and the nearest-neighbor (NN) inter-dimer hopping of the SSH model, an additional next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hopping is considered in the E-SSH model. The cyclic parameter, which plays the role of a synthetic dimension, is invoked as a modulation of the hopping strengths. A rigorous analysis of different phase diagrams has shown multiple Floquet topological phase transitions among the high Chern number phases. These phase transitions can be controlled by the strength and frequency of the periodic driving. Instead of applying perturbation theory, the whole analysis is done by Floquet replica technique. This gives a freedom to study high as well as low-frequency effects on the system by considering less or more number of photon sectors. This system can be experimentally realized through a pulse sequence scheme in the optical lattice setup.

description: Nuestro sistema tributario contiene impuestos especiales que tienen como materia imponible al consumo, que se superponen al IVA pero no lo excluyen. Nos encontramos así en el campo de la llamada imposición selectiva al consumo, dentro del cual abordaremos específicamente tres categorías impositivas que le pertenecen: el impuesto al consumo de licores, vinos, aperitivos y similares; el impuesto al consumo de cervezas, sifones, refajos y mezclas de bebidas fermentadas; y el impuesto al consumo de cigarrillos y tabaco elaborado. Estos tributos constituyen, junto al IVA, que es un impuesto general que tiene por objeto imponible al consumo, algunas de las figuras impositivas más representativas de los tipos de impuestos indirectos en Colombia. En ese sentido es preciso advertir que el hecho de que estos impuestos se superpongan al IVA no implica necesariamente un escenario de doble imposición jurídica, pues la estructura legal de estos tributos difiere en cuanto al presupuesto objetivo elegido por el legislador, siendo el IVA un impuesto general sobre el consumo que grava la venta de bienes corporales muebles, la prestación de servicios en el territorio nacional, la importación de bienes y los juegos de suerte y azar; mientras que los impuestos al consumo específicos, como su nombre lo indica, gravan selectivamente algunos bienes y/o servicios; dicho de otra manera, su materia imponible recae sobre consumos específicos, en el caso estudiado, de bienes tales como cigarrillos, tabaco elaborado, cervezas, sifones, refajos, alcohol, vinos, aperitivos y similares.

description: Le système du contrôle en vigueur dans les collectivités territoriales est caractérisé par la prédominance du contrôle externe en contrepartie d’un contrôle interne très faible. Aussi les mécanismes et les pratiques de contrôle en vigueur demeurent – ils étroitement restreints aux opérations budgétaires. Le caractère tardif de ce type du contrôle ne favorise nullement le repérage des dysfonctionnements et, par conséquent, leur maitrise, ainsi que leur régularisation. Partons de ces constats, notre article vise à proposer quelques paramètres permettant de renforcer le système du contrôle actuel et de surmonter ses limites tout en tenant en compte des particularités réglementaires, organisationnelles, et d’un degré moins, informationnelles des collectivités territoriales. Pour ce faire, l’approche socioéconomique nous semble la plus adéquate pour contrecarrer ces limites dans la mesure où elle intègre un contrôle concomitant, préventif, tous azimut et articulant l’économique et le social.

description: Despite a plethora of anomaly detection models developed over the years, their ability to generalize to unseen anomalies remains an issue, particularly in critical systems. This paper aims to address this challenge by introducing Swift Hydra, a new framework for training an anomaly detection method based on generative AI and reinforcement learning (RL). Through featuring an RL policy that operates on the latent variables of a generative model, the framework synthesizes novel and diverse anomaly samples that are capable of bypassing a detection model. These generated synthetic samples are, in turn, used to augment the detection model, further improving its ability to handle challenging anomalies. Swift Hydra also incorporates Mamba models structured as a Mixture of Experts (MoE) to enable scalable adaptation of the number of Mamba experts based on data complexity, effectively capturing diverse feature distributions without increasing the model's inference time. Empirical evaluations on ADBench benchmark demonstrate that Swift Hydra outperforms other state-of-the-art anomaly detection models while maintaining a relatively short inference time. From these results, our research highlights a new and auspicious paradigm of integrating RL and generative AI for advancing anomaly detection.
Data-driven and constrained optimization of semi-local exchange and non-local correlation functionals for materials and surface chemistry

description: Reliable predictions of surface chemical reaction energetics require an accurate description of both chemisorption and physisorption. Here, we present an empirical approach to simultaneously optimize semi-local exchange and non-local correlation of a density functional approximation to improve these energetics. A combination of reference data for solid bulk, surface, and gas-phase chemistry and physical exchange-correlation model constraints leads to the VCML-rVV10 exchange-correlation functional. Owing to the variety of training data, the applicability of VCML-rVV10 extends beyond surface chemistry simulations. It provides optimized gas phase reaction energetics and an accurate description of bulk lattice constants and elastic properties.

description: Dans un contexte de globalisation, d’économie de savoir et de technologie, l’économie marocaine ne peut être compétitive que par le développement des innovations technologiques. La valorisation de la recherche surtout par la création des entreprises innovantes, constitue un enjeu fondamental dans la mesure où elle est au coeur de la démarche d’innovation. Ce contexte a placé l’université au devant de la scène. Elle doit non seulement produire et diffuser les connaissances mais aussi de les valoriser surtout par la création des entreprises innovantes. Pour assurer cette dernière mission, l’université s’est dotée des incubateurs universitaires. Ces structures sont des lieux d’accueil et d’accompagnement des porteurs des projets innovants préalablement sélectionnés et où l’on offre des services logistiques, administratifs et de consultation. Au Maroc, les pouvoirs publics accordaient une attention particulière à la valorisation de la recherche universitaire par la création des entreprises innovantes. Pour cela une dizaine d’incubateurs universitaires ont été crées. Ces incubateurs sont coordonnés dans le cadre du réseau Maroc incubation essaimage. Ce réseau a retenu une quarantaine de projets innovants pour le financement de la phase d’incubation. Seulement une dizaine d’entre ces projets est aboutie à la création d’entreprises innovantes. Ce résultat décevant en matière d’incubation résulte de l’absence d’une culture d’entrepreneuriat et d’innovation, d’un faible soutien financier, de l’interdiction aux enseignants chercheurs de l’exercice la double fonction et par conséquent la création d’entreprises innovantes en parallèle avec l’enseignement…etc. D’autres mesures qui entrent dans le cadre de stratégie « Maroc Innovation » ont été mises en place pour promouvoir l’innovation, favoriser la valorisation de la recherche et rapprocher les universités des entreprises. Ces mesures sont la mise en place des cités d’innovation, la création des clusters et l’introduction de deux nouveaux moyens de financement qui sont « INTILAK » pour financer les porteurs de projets innovants et « TATWIR » pour financer des entreprises porteuses de projets innovants.

description: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have recently shown promising advancements in sequential decision-making tasks through task-specific fine-tuning. However, common fine-tuning methods, such as Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques like Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), present notable limitations: SFT assumes Independent and Identically Distributed (IID) data, while PPO focuses on maximizing cumulative rewards. These limitations often restrict solution diversity and hinder generalization in multi-step reasoning tasks. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel framework, GFlowVLM, a framework that fine-tune VLMs using Generative Flow Networks (GFlowNets) to promote generation of diverse solutions for complex reasoning tasks. GFlowVLM models the environment as a non-Markovian decision process, allowing it to capture long-term dependencies essential for real-world applications. It takes observations and task descriptions as inputs to prompt chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning which subsequently guides action selection. We use task based rewards to fine-tune VLM with GFlowNets. This approach enables VLMs to outperform prior fine-tuning methods, including SFT and RL. Empirical results demonstrate the effectiveness of GFlowVLM on complex tasks such as card games (NumberLine, BlackJack) and embodied planning tasks (ALFWorld), showing enhanced training efficiency, solution diversity, and stronger generalization capabilities across both in-distribution and out-of-distribution scenarios.
