description: We suggest an information-theoretic approach for measuring stylistic coordination in dialogues. The proposed measure has a simple predictive interpretation and can account for various confounding factors through proper conditioning. We revisit some of the previous studies that reported strong signatures of stylistic accommodation, and find that a significant part of the observed coordination can be attributed to a simple confounding effect - length coordination. Specifically, longer utterances tend to be followed by longer responses, which gives rise to spurious correlations in the other stylistic features. We propose a test to distinguish correlations in length due to contextual factors (topic of conversation, user verbosity, etc.) and turn-by-turn coordination. We also suggest a test to identify whether stylistic coordination persists even after accounting for length coordination and contextual factors.

description: Deep learning typically requires large data sets and much compute power for each new problem that is learned. Meta-learning can be used to learn a good prior that facilitates quick learning, thereby relaxing these requirements so that new tasks can be learned quicker; two popular approaches are MAML and the meta-learner LSTM. In this work, we compare the two and formally show that the meta-learner LSTM subsumes MAML. Combining this insight with recent empirical findings, we construct a new algorithm (dubbed TURTLE) which is simpler than the meta-learner LSTM yet more expressive than MAML. TURTLE outperforms both techniques at few-shot sine wave regression and image classification on miniImageNet and CUB without any additional hyperparameter tuning, at a computational cost that is comparable with second-order MAML. The key to TURTLE's success lies in the use of second-order gradients, which also significantly increases the performance of the meta-learner LSTM by 1-6% accuracy.

description: We propose a new method to estimate causal effects from nonexperimental data. Each pair of sample units is first associated with a stochastic 'treatment' - differences in factors between units - and an effect - a resultant outcome difference. It is then proposed that all such pairs can be combined to provide more accurate estimates of causal effects in observational data, provided a statistical model connecting combinatorial properties of treatments to the accuracy and unbiasedness of their effects. The article introduces one such model and a Bayesian approach to combine the $O(n^2)$ pairwise observations typically available in nonexperimnetal data. This also leads to an interpretation of nonexperimental datasets as incomplete, or noisy, versions of ideal factorial experimental designs. This approach to causal effect estimation has several advantages: (1) it expands the number of observations, converting thousands of individuals into millions of observational treatments; (2) starting with treatments closest to the experimental ideal, it identifies noncausal variables that can be ignored in the future, making estimation easier in each subsequent iteration while departing minimally from experiment-like conditions; (3) it recovers individual causal effects in heterogeneous populations. We evaluate the method in simulations and the National Supported Work (NSW) program, an intensively studied program whose effects are known from randomized field experiments. We demonstrate that the proposed approach recovers causal effects in common NSW samples, as well as in arbitrary subpopulations and an order-of-magnitude larger supersample with the entire national program data, outperforming Statistical, Econometrics and Machine Learning estimators in all cases...

description: Although there are many reports on deprotonation of carbon analogues, there are only a few reports on deprotonation from silanes. This is because the lone pair of a base mainly attacks hydrogen of a C–H bond and deprotonates, whereas in the case of silanes, the base is added to the silicon atom of a Si–H bond. Previous reports have shown that deprotonation from silanes requires the assistance of negative hyperconjugation by silyl substituents or intramolecular chelating groups (pincer ligands). We proposed that lithium and hydrogen exchange approach could be applied to the deprotonation of monosilanes using bulky silyllithium instead of some bulky strong bases, such as t-butyllithium and LDA. Here, we report the first successful approach to the deprotonation of monosilanes without intramolecular chelation.

description: This practice based research project explores contemporary human subjectivity. What happens when the voice emanating from a calmly spoken subject no longer speaks sense? Or when the human-face disappears to be replaced by a single squared-plane of a mirrored-cubed head? Or even, when a disembodied hand performs a series of extemporaneous gestures on the ceiling? Each instance of these appears to destabilise the most unifying and recognisable characteristics of selfhood, as expressed through meaningful speech, the face, and bodily sovereignty. I ask what is, what can be, ‘I’ before/after the enunciation of ‘I am’. Alongside my own work, this thesis examines works by Antonin Artaud, Mira Schendel, Bracha Ettinger, Zach Blas and Tony Oursler. Each example considers the modern subject’s inability to wholly convey all aspects of lived experience through culturally accepted modes of representation. Artaud, in his writing, drawing, and performance works laments his inability to fully express his complete being directly in spoken words and writing. Oursler uses complex indoor and outdoor sound and light installations, with their cacophony of disembodied talking heads, to explore contemporary subjectivity as both fragmented and multiple. Using semiotics, psychoanalysis and feminist theory I explore what kinds of understanding art can offer us into contemporary identity and selfhood. A close analysis of my chosen artists and related works shows a lineage of artworks that function beyond the collective validation of an established artist’s body of work; works, whose kindred affective connections traverse boundaries of ‘ism’s’ and oeuvres. The findings of this research indicate the presence of an overlooked reading and trajectory of artworks which offer a rich insight into the development, operation, and possibilities for individual and collective subjectivities.

description: Environmental conditions (water, sanitation, hygiene, waste management, cleaning, energy, building design) are important for a safe and functional healthcare environment. Yet their full range of impacts are not well understood. In this study, we assessed the impact of environmental conditions on healthcare workers’ wellbeing and quality of care, using qualitative interviews with 81 healthcare workers at 26 small healthcare facilities in rural Niger. We asked participants to report successes and challenges with environmental conditions and their impacts on wellbeing (physical, social, mental, and economic) and quality of care. We found that all environmental conditions contributed to healthcare workers’ wellbeing and quality of care. The norm in facilities of our sample was poor environmental conditions, and thus participants primarily reported detrimental effects. We identified previously documented effects on physical health and safety from pathogen exposure, but also several novel effects on healthcare workers’ mental and economic wellbeing and on efficiency, timeliness, and patient centeredness of care. Key wellbeing impacts included pathogen exposure for healthcare workers, stress from unsafe and chaotic working environments, staff dissatisfaction and retention challenges, out-of-pocket spending to avoid stockouts, and uncompensated labor. Key quality of care impacts included pathogen exposure for patients, healthcare worker time dedicated to non-medical tasks like water fetching (i.e., reduced efficiency), breakdowns and spoilage of equipment and supplies, and patient satisfaction with cleanliness and privacy. Inefficiency due to time lost and damaged supplies and equipment likely have substantial economic value and warrant greater consideration in research and policy making. Impacts on staff retention and care efficiency also have implications for health systems. We recommend that future research and decision making for policy and practice incorporate more holistic impact measures beyond just healthcare acquired infections and reconsider the substantial contribution that environmental conditions make to the safety of healthcare facilities and strength of health systems.

description: Scientific exchange is increasingly shifting to the Internet. Today, online literature and citation databases are important tools for scientific work, e.g. for exchanging information or investigating the current state of the art on a topic. Due to the large number of literature and citation databases that exist, and the limited amount of time available for a search, it is necessary to choose few or even only one database. In this paper, we carry out a comprehensive comparison between Web of Science and arXiv. We compile a list of criteria for the comparison of these resources based on a literature analysis. Finally, 62 documents were found that dealt with comparisons between literature databases. Based on these comparisons, a concept matrix was created according to Webster & Watson (2002), in which the criteria for the comparison were summarized. These criteria were then integrated into an adapted version of the criteria catalogue for the comparison of software packages from Jadhav & Sonar (2009) in order to provide a comprehensive picture, not only of content aspects, but also of functionality and usability issues. Based on these criteria, the Web of Science and arXiv databases were compared. The main results can be summarized as follows: arXiv covers only a limited number of disciplines and has a strong focus on physics, mathematics and computer science. Web of Science covers significantly more subject areas and generally includes significantly more papers, which in contrast to arXiv all come from peer-reviewed journals. arXiv's biggest advantage is the topicality of the articles, since preprints are also accepted and thus the peer-review process can be bridged. Both databases are intuitive to use and have a similarly good simple search, but Web of Science’s advanced search gives an experienced user much more possibilities to refine searches and to formulate distinctive queries. In general, Web of Science offers significantly more possibilities to conduct comprehensive literature searches due to the additionally stored citation data and corresponding analysis functions. arXiv, on the other hand, is particularly well suited to learn about the latest state of the offered disciplines.

description: Scenarios requiring humans to choose from multiple seemingly optimal actions are commonplace, however standard imitation learning often fails to capture this behavior. Instead, an over-reliance on replicating expert actions induces inflexible and unstable policies, leading to poor generalizability in an application. To address the problem, this paper presents the first imitation learning framework that incorporates Bayesian variational inference for learning flexible non-parametric multi-action policies, while simultaneously robustifying the policies against sources of error, by introducing and optimizing disturbances to create a richer demonstration dataset. This combinatorial approach forces the policy to adapt to challenging situations, enabling stable multi-action policies to be learned efficiently. The effectiveness of our proposed method is evaluated through simulations and real-robot experiments for a table-sweep task using the UR3 6-DOF robotic arm. Results show that, through improved flexibility and robustness, the learning performance and control safety are better than comparison methods.

description: Immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 primarily target the receptor binding domain of the spike protein, which continually mutates to escape acquired immunity. Other regions in the spike S2 subunit, such as the stem helix and the segment encompassing residues 815-823 adjacent to the fusion peptide, are highly conserved across sarbecoviruses and are recognized by broadly reactive antibodies, providing hope that vaccines targeting these epitopes could offer protection against both current and emergent viruses. Here we employ computational modeling to design scaffolded immunogens that display the spike 815-823 peptide and the stem helix epitopes without the distracting and immunodominant receptor binding domain. These engineered proteins bind with high affinity and specificity to the mature and germline versions of previously identified broadly protective human antibodies. Epitope scaffolds interact with both sera and isolated monoclonal antibodies with broadly reactivity from individuals with pre-existing SARS-CoV-2 immunity. When used as immunogens, epitope scaffolds elicit sera with broad betacoronavirus reactivity and protect as “boosts” against live virus challenge in mice, illustrating their potential as components of a future pancoronavirus vaccine.

description: Purpose: Previous studies that addressed whether left ventricular hypertrophy is more closely associated with central than peripheral blood pressure (BP) have been inconsistent. Radial artery wave generated by applanation tonometry and calibrated with brachial BP in 162 adult Nigerians were analysed by using generalized transfer function to derive central BP. Materials and methods: We compared the associations of ECG voltages and left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) as continuous and binary variables respectively with central and brachial BP indices. Results: In a multivariable adjusted analysis, 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in brachial systolic, diastolic, pulse and mean arterial pressures increased the Sokolow–Lyon QRS voltage by 0.34 (CI, 0.21–0.48; p p p p > 0.05) corresponding Sokolow–Lyon QRS increase of 0.26 (0.12–0.40, p p p p p p p p > 0.05) corresponding OR of 2.41 (1.33–4.36, p p p Conclusion: Central and peripheral BP are similarly associated with Sokolow–Lyon ECG voltage and hypertrophy.

description: Let $δ(\mathcal{P})$ be the $δ$-vector of a reflexive polytope $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of dimension $d$ and $δ(\mathcal{P} ^\vee)$ the $δ$-vector of the dual polytope $\mathcal{P}^\vee \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In general, $δ(\mathcal{P})=δ(\mathcal{P}^\vee)$ does not hold. In this paper, we give a higher-dimensional construction of reflexive polytope whose $δ$-vector equals the $δ$-vector of the dual polytope. In particular, we consider the case that the reflexive polytope and the dual polytope are unimodularly equivalent.

Using the results in \cite{MPSC1}, we study the convergence of minima, minimizers and momenta of those functionals. Moreover, we apply these results to the periodic homogenization in Carnot groups and to prove a $H$-compactness theorem for linear differential operators of the second order depending on $X$.

description: The high fidelity storage, distribution and processing of quantum information prefers qubits with different physical properties. Thus, hybrid quantum gates interfacing different types of qubits are essential for the realization of complex quantum network structures. A Rydberg-atom based physical quantum CZ gate is proposed to hybridly process the polarisation-encoded single-photon optical qubit and the "Schroedinger cat" microwave qubit. The degradation of the fidelity under the influence of various noise channels, such as microwave cavity loss, sponetanous emission of atom states, and non-adiabaticity effect, etc, has been analyised through detailed theoretical analysis by deriving input-output relation of qubit fields. The feasibility and the challenges of the protocol within current technology are also discussed by analysing the possible experimental parameter settings.

description: The use of digital games and gamified applications for therapeutic interventions with autistic children is becoming increasingly common. However, these games and applications still face problems to meet the needs of the therapist and especially the child. This can be caused by the fact that application development is based on an inadequate or even incorrect set of requirements, which are the features and functions that the application must meet. Requirements are usually collected from the end users of the application and therefore there are several techniques in the literature that can be used.
With the application of this questionnaire we seek to study which techniques used to obtain a set of requirements can be applied, according to professionals, when the end user are autistic children. We ask that for each of the techniques listed below you indicate whether you agree that the mentioned technique can be used to obtain information from autistic children.

description: A large number of low-grade phosphate ore have not been utilized, and applying them to fertilizer production can solve these problems. In this work, a process was developed for the production of fertilizer by phosphate tailings, and a system of CaO-SiO2-MgO-P2O5 based on the composition of raw ore was built. The phase diagram of the system was calculated using thermodynamic software, the composition with respect to P, Ca, Mg, and Si as the basic components was explored and the melting properties of the materials in the phosphate system were determined. The high-temperature activation process of low-grade phosphorus ores and flux under different process conditions was studied, using the atmosphere lifting furnace to simulate the production process of glass fertilizer to carry out thermal activation experiments. Under the conditions of 1480 °C, melting time of 10 min and 2% K2O high-activity glass fertilizer containing various nutrients can be obtained with reduced energy consumption, with the activation rates of P, Ca, Mg, and Si in glass fertilizer reaching 94.51%, 92.53%, 93.79%, and 95.04%, respectively. The influence of K2O on the glass structure was determined and analyzed by XPS, SEM, and surface element solution characterization. The addition of K2O changed the composition of oxygen and significantly lowered the polymerization degree of the structure.

description: We propose a phenomenological unified model for dark matter and dark energy based on an equation of state parameter $w$ that scales with the $\arctan$ of the redshift. The free parameters of the model are three constants: $Ω_{b0}$, $α$ and $β$. Parameter $α$ dictates the transition rate between the matter dominated era and the accelerated expansion period. The ratio $β/ α$ gives the redshift of the equivalence between both regimes. Cosmological parameters are fixed by observational data from Primordial Nucleosynthesis (PN), Supernovae of the type Ia (SNIa), Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO). The calibration of the 138 GRBs events is performed using the 580 SNIa of the Union2.1 data set and a new set of 79 high-redshift GRBs is obtained. The various sets of data are used in different combinations to constraint the parameters through statistical analysis. The unified model is compared to the $Λ$CDM model and their differences are emphasized.

description: Klimatische Veränderungen erfordern Anpassungen. Dies gilt auch für das Waldökosystem, welches durch zunehmende Extremwetterlagen in Deutschland und Mitteleuropa verstärkt belastet wird. Die durch abiotische und biotische Faktoren verursachten Schadflächen haben sowohl ökologische als auch betriebswirtschaftliche Auswirkungen. Ebenso werden Liquidität und Bestandesvermögen negativ beeinträchtigt, wodurch die Frage nach einer monetär-sinnhaften Handlungsmöglichkeit entsteht. Aus Sukzession entstandene Vorwälder bieten eine Möglichkeit, Freiflächen wiederbewalden zu lassen, ohne eine künstliche Verjüngung integrieren zu müssen. Dadurch entfallen eine Anfangsinvestition und somit auch eine finanzielle Verpflichtung des Forstbetriebes. Für eine erfolgreiche Produktionszeit wird allerdings eine spezielle waldbauliche Behandlung notwendig, da vorwald-prägende Pionierbaumarten andere Wachstumsrhythmen aufweisen als Klimax-Baumarten. Unter Berücksichtigung unterschiedlicher kalkulatorischer Zinssätze und innerbetrieblichen Zielsetzungen können diszipliniert bewirtschaftete Vorwälder Annuitäten erzielen, die über jenen der Buchen- und Eichenwirtschaft liegen. Sie stellen somit eine Alternative zur klassischen Bepflanzung einer Freifläche dar, sofern sich entsprechende Samenbäume in der weiteren Umgebung befinden.

description: This paper addresses stochastic stabilization in case where implementation of control policies is digital, i. e., when the dynamical system is treated continuous, whereas the control actions are held constant in predefined time steps. In such a setup, special attention should be paid to the sample-to-sample behavior of the involved Lyapunov function. This paper extends on the stochastic stability results specifically to address for the sample-and-hold mode. We show that if a Markov policy stabilizes the system in a suitable sense, then it also practically stabilizes it in the sample-and-hold sense. This establishes a bridge from an idealized continuous application of the policy to its digital implementation. The central result applies to dynamical systems described by stochastic differential equations driven by the standard Brownian motion. Generalizations are discussed, including the case of non-smooth Lyapunov functions for systems driven by bounded noise. A brief overview of bounded noise models is given.

description: Many research questions in public health and medicine concern sustained interventions in populations defined by substantive priorities. Existing methods to answer such questions typically require a measured covariate set sufficient to control confounding, which can be questionable in observational studies. Differences-in-differences rely instead on the parallel trends assumption, allowing for some types of time-invariant unmeasured confounding. However, most existing difference-in-differences implementations are limited to point treatments in restricted subpopulations. We derive identification results for population effects of sustained treatments under parallel trends assumptions. In particular, in settings where all individuals begin follow-up with exposure status consistent with the treatment plan of interest but may deviate at later times, a version of Robins' g-formula identifies the intervention-specific mean under stable unit treatment value assumption, positivity, and parallel trends. We develop consistent asymptotically normal estimators based on inverse-probability weighting, outcome regression, and a double robust estimator based on targeted maximum likelihood. Simulation studies confirm theoretical results and support the use of the proposed estimators at realistic sample sizes. As an example, the methods are used to estimate the effect of a hypothetical federal stay-at-home order on all-cause mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020 in the United States.

description: Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate if the percentage of patients with missing or inaccurate code status documentation at a Trauma Level 1 hospital could be reduced through daily updates. The secondary objective was to examine if patient preferences for DNR changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This retrospective study, spanning March 2019 to December 2022, compared the code status in ICU and ED patients drawn from two data sets. The first was based on historical electronic medical records (EHR), and the second involved daily updates of code status following patient admission. Results: Implementing daily updates upon admission was more effective in ICUs than in the ED in reducing missing code status documentation. Around 20% of patients without a specific code status chose DNR under the new system. During COVID-19, a decrease in ICU patients choosing DNR and an increase in full code (FC) choices were observed. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of regular updates and discussions regarding code status to enhance patient care and resource allocation in ICU and ED settings. The COVID-19 pandemic’s influence on shifting patient preferences towards full code status underscores the need for adaptable documentation practices. Emphasizing patient education about DNR implications and benefits is key to supporting informed decisions that reflect individual health contexts and values. This approach will help balance the considerations for DNR and full code choices, especially during health care crises.

description: Mountainous Karabakh is a regional conflict in the recent territory of Azerbaijan with the population of ethnic Armenians. It is a part of historical Karabakh and the reason why it had given autonomy, was to underline an ethnic factor of its population. All member states of the United Nations, beside Armenia, recognize Mountainous Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory with ethnic Armenian population. Mountainous Karabakh is a disputed territory between Azerbaijan and Armenia and both sides have their claims on this territory. Historical sources about Mountainous Karabakh are various and confusing. In 14th century, Safavid Empire gave autonomy-like status to Mountainous Karabakh and this status was retained during the next four centuries. Until 1991, Mountainous Karabakh was a little isolated region with aoutonomous oblast status within the Azerbaijan SSR. In 1992, Mountainous Karabakh declared itself as independent republic, which resulted in armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh is a clash of political ambitions. Positions of parties still exclude each other.The scientific research ‘Conflict in Mountainous Karabakh’ is based on the qualitative research method and analyzes primary and secondary documents. It includes: introduction, main part, major research, conclusion and bibliography. Major research represents reasons of the conflict and the security dilemma: geographical factor, ethnographic factor, nationalism, Russia, ethnic affinity problem, different historical sources and economic factor. The last part of this work involves recomendations for the conflict resolution.

description: Breastfeeding self-efficacy (BSE), defined as a mother’s confidence in her ability to breastfeed, has been confirmed to predict the uptake of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF). Early experiences during the birth hospital stay, especially in-hospital formula feeding (IHFF), can impact both EBF and maternal breastfeeding confidence. Therefore, our objective was to examine the association between IHFF and EBF outcomes and investigate whether this association is influenced by BSE. The study included 778 infants from a larger cohort study conducted in 2021, with a one-year follow-up in rural areas of Sichuan Province, China. We used a causal mediation analysis to estimate the total effect (TE), natural direct (NDE), and nature indirect effects (NIE) using the paramed command in Stata. Causal mediation analyses revealed that IHFF was negatively associated with EBF (TE odds ratio = 0.47; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.76); 28% of this association was mediated by BSE. In the subgroup analysis, there were no significant differences in the effects between parity subgroups, as well as between infant delivery subgroups. Our study found that IHFF hindered later EBF and that BSE mediated this association. Limiting the occurrence of in-hospital formula feeding or improving maternal breastfeeding self-efficacy is likely to improve exclusive breastfeeding outcomes.

Transmission and generation of arbitrary W states via an optomechanical interface

description: We propose a universal and nontrivial scheme to transmit and generate an arbitrary W state for multiple cavities via an optomechanical interface. In transmission and generation processes, high fidelity can be obtained by optimizing the time-dependent coupling strengths between the cavities and the mechanical resonator. With a group of optimal couplings, an arbitrary entangled W state in the multipartite system can be mapped to the pulse shape of a single photon and transmitted out of the system. In the time reversal process, an arbitrary W state can be generated with an incident single photon with certain pulse shape. The functions of the optimal couplings, which are used for both transmission and generation processes, only depend on the parameters of the system, which does not change with the arbitrary entangled W states and the pulse shape of the single photons.
