title:  What is the identity of european clinical legal education?
Creators: name: McKeown, Paul
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2023

description: This article will explore whether there is, or can be, a common identity for the clinical legal education movement in Europe, despite differing traditions across the continent. The definition of clinical legal education will be critically analysed exploring the teaching methods and the purported aims of clinical legal education encompassing both the educational and social justice mission. Different models of clinical legal education will be analysed, such as live-client, placements, policy clinic, public legal education and, perhaps most controversially, simulated legal clinic. Each model of will be evaluated to establish whether it satisfies the perceived identity of clinical legal education. In conclusion, the article will advance the case for a broad notion of clinical legal education within Europe placing the student at the heart of its mission. Clinical legal education should be an inclusive movement, encouraging innovation to address the needs of students and society as a whole.

Year: 2004

description: Introduction: Dilation and evacuation is the most common method of second-trimester pregnancy termination procedures. Studies have shown the mortality rate of these procedures to be 4.9/100,000. Patient safety during an abortion is a vital component of women's health. Second-trimester abortions have been shown to have an increased risk of adverse events over first-trimester procedures. This implies there may be an increased risk of adverse events with increasing gestational age within the second-trimester. This study investigates the influence of gestational age on the risk of serious adverse outcome of second-trimester surgical abortions. Methods: Retrospective analysis of active surveillance of adverse event data from 2,218 women presenting for second-trimester termination procedures at 18 Planned Parenthood Federation of America sites was performed to analyze the risk for serious adverse event among patients with gestational ages 12-15 6/7 weeks compared to 16-23 6/7 weeks. Patient care was not changed in any manner during the data collection. Age of patient, parity, history of C-section, and BMI and treatment regimen were included in the analysis. Results: Preliminary results show 10 serious adverse events for the 2, 218 procedures: 6 hemorrhages greater than 500 cc, 1 cervical laceration requiring repair, 1 incomplete abortion, 1 infection, and 1 case of shaking/nausea/chills requiring admission for observation. Risk Ratios, adjusted for confounding of a second characteristic, are presented. Conclusions: Dilation and evacuation is a safe method of second-trimester pregnancy termination, but we should continue to analyze risk factors of adverse events in order to increase safety ofthe procedure.

description: Important features of Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source (ECRIS) operation are accurately reproduced with a numerical code. The code uses the particle-in-cell technique to model a dynamics of ions in ECRIS plasma. It is shown that gas dynamical ion confinement mechanism is sufficient to provide the ion production rates in ECRIS close to the experimentally observed values. Extracted ion currents are calculated and compared to the experiment for few sources. Changes in the extracted ion currents are obtained with varying the gas flow into the source chamber and the microwave power. Empirical scaling laws for ECRIS design are studied and the underlying physical effects are discussed.

In time evolution, one of the sequences moves at speed 1, and the other follows the rules of the box-ball system with box capacity one, which can be linearized by the Kerov-Kirillov-Reshetikhin(KKR) bijection. Our method can be applied to a state including a negative value or a value greater than the box capacity.

description: Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has been known to host a variety of quantum emitters with properties suitable for a broad range of quantum photonic applications. Among them, the negatively charged boron vacancy (VB-) defect with optically addressable spin states has emerged recently due to its potential use in quantum sensing. Compared to spin defects in bulk crystals, VB- preserves its spin coherence properties when placed at nanometer-scale distances from the hBN surface, enabling nanometer-scale quantum sensing. On the other hand, the low quantum efficiency of VB- has hindered its use in practical applications. Several studies have reported improving the overall quantum efficiency of VB- defects using plasmonic effects; however, the overall enhancements of up to 17 times reported to date are relatively modest. In this study, we explore and demonstrate much higher emission enhancements of VB- with ultralow-loss nano-patch antenna (NPA) structures. An overall intensity enhancement of up to 250 times is observed for NPA-coupled VB- defects. Since the laser spot exceeds the area of the NPA, where the enhancement occurs, the actual enhancement provided by the NPA is calculated to be ~1685 times, representing a significant increase over the previously reported results. Importantly, the optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) contrast is preserved at such exceptionally strong enhancement. Our results not only establish NPA-coupled VB- defects as high-resolution magnetic field sensors operating at weak laser powers, but also provide a promising approach to obtaining single VB- defects.

description: The diagonal of a multivariate power series F is the univariate power series Diag(F) generated by the diagonal terms of F. Diagonals form an important class of power series; they occur frequently in number theory, theoretical physics and enumerative combinatorics. We study algorithmic questions related to diagonals in the case where F is the Taylor expansion of a bivariate rational function. It is classical that in this case Diag(F) is an algebraic function. We propose an algorithm that computes an annihilating polynomial for Diag(F). Generically, it is its minimal polynomial and is obtained in time quasi-linear in its size. We show that this minimal polynomial has an exponential size with respect to the degree of the input rational function. We then address the related problem of enumerating directed lattice walks. The insight given by our study leads to a new method for expanding the generating power series of bridges, excursions and meanders. We show that their first N terms can be computed in quasi-linear complexity in N, without first computing a very large polynomial equation.

Year: 2023

description: Legal clinics in the European Union find themselves at the intersection of social aims and market considerations, navigating a delicate balance to fulfil their mission effectively. While their primary focus is to serve the social good and promote access to justice, they also need to consider the market realities of the legal profession. The Start-up Legal Lab at the Law Department of the University of Turin aligns with the proposed approach by embracing both market-oriented experiential practice and the pursuit of social aims. This approach recognises the interconnectedness of these two aspects and acknowledges that they should not be treated as separate or opposing forces. This approach leads to innovative solutions, a deeper understanding of legal issues, and ultimately, a more just and equitable legal system.

The HISTORY algorithm has high recovery accuracy and is robust to strong measurement noise. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Sobressaíram-se com maiores taxas de mortalidade pacientes entre 55 e 85 anos, desenvolvendo complicações de forma grave e rápida devido à baixa resistência desses indivíduos. Ainda nessa perspectiva, pacientes mais novos, porém com doenças pré-existentes, também estavam relacionados com complicações sérias e evolução a óbito.
Prevention of Short- and Long-term Impacts of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) through Widespread Implementation of the Community Resiliency Model
Creators: name: Mountz, Heather

Year: 2018

description: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are harmful events (e.g., physical or sexual abuse, neglect, observing a parent with an alcohol or drug addiction) that are experienced before the age of 18. Various research studies described in this paper have reported prevalence rates of ACEs that vary between 22 and 45%. With each additional reported ACE, there is an increased risk of diseases (e.g., heart disease, cancer) and mental health disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety). The Community Resiliency Model (CRM) is a public health model that teaches individuals to respond to their body’s reactions to stressors by performing behavioral skills that return the body to sense of calm. Teaching school administrators, teachers, and students about their window of stress tolerance and triggers allows for all to understand behavioral issues and learn how to effectively cope with stress. This paper details the physical and mental health impacts of ACEs, and proposes the adoption of policy that will promote widespread implementation of the CRM in North Carolina schools and communities.

description: In the framework of anomaly free $U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}$ model, charged scalar fields give rise to massive gauge boson ($Z_{μτ}$) through spontaneous symmetry breaking. $Z_{μτ}$ leads to one loop contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. These scalar fields may, also, appear in the structure of right-handed neutrino mass matrix, thus, connecting the possible explanation of muon ($g-2$) and low energy neutrino phenomenology through $vevs$ associated with the scalar fields. In the present work, we consider textures of inverse neutrino mass matrix ($M_ν^{-1}$) wherein any two elements of the mass matrix are zero. In this ansatz, with Dirac neutrino mass matrix diagonal, the zero(s) of right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix correspond to zero(s) in the low energy effective neutrino mass matrix (within Type-I seesaw). We have realized two such textures of $M_ν^{-1}$ accommodating the muon ($g-2$) and low energy neutrino phenomenology. The requirement of successful explanation of muon ($g-2$), further, constrain the allowed parameter space of the model and results in sharp correlations amongst neutrino mixing angles, $CP$ invariants and effective Majorana mass ($M_{ee}$). The model explains muon ($g-2$) for $M_{Z_{μτ}}$ in the range ($0.035$ GeV-$0.100$ GeV) and $g_{μτ}\approx\mathcal{O}(10^{-4}$) which is found to be consistent with constraints coming from the experiments like CCFR, COHERENT, BABAR, NA62 and NA64.

description: A method based on thermal bistability for ultralow-threshold microlaser optimization is demonstrated. When sweeping the pump laser frequency across a pump resonance, the dynamic thermal bistability slows down the power variation. The resulting line shape modification enables a real-time monitoring of the laser characteristic. We demonstrate this method for a functionalized microsphere exhibiting a submicrowatt laser threshold. This approach is confirmed by comparing the results with a step-by-step recording in quasi-static thermal conditions.

Is the Classic Convex Decomposition Optimal for Bound-Preserving Schemes in Multiple Dimensions?

description: Since proposed in [X. Zhang and C.-W. Shu, J. Comput. Phys., 229: 3091--3120, 2010], the Zhang--Shu framework has attracted extensive attention and motivated many bound-preserving (BP) high-order discontinuous Galerkin and finite volume schemes for various hyperbolic equations. A key ingredient in the framework is the decomposition of the cell averages of the numerical solution into a convex combination of the solution values at certain quadrature points, which helps to rewrite high-order schemes as convex combinations of formally first-order schemes. The classic convex decomposition originally proposed by Zhang and Shu has been widely used over the past decade. It was verified, only for the 1D quadratic and cubic polynomial spaces, that the classic decomposition is optimal in the sense of achieving the mildest BP CFL condition. Yet, it remained unclear whether the classic decomposition is optimal in multiple dimensions. In this paper, we find that the classic multidimensional decomposition based on the tensor product of Gauss--Lobatto and Gauss quadratures is generally not optimal, and we discover a novel alternative decomposition for the 2D and 3D polynomial spaces of total degree up to 2 and 3, respectively, on Cartesian meshes. Our new decomposition allows a larger BP time step-size than the classic one, and moreover, it is rigorously proved to be optimal to attain the mildest BP CFL condition, yet requires much fewer nodes. The discovery of such an optimal convex decomposition is highly nontrivial yet meaningful, as it may lead to an improvement of high-order BP schemes for a large class of hyperbolic or convection-dominated equations, at the cost of only a slight and local modification to the implementation code. Several numerical examples are provided to further validate the advantages of using our optimal decomposition over the classic one in terms of efficiency.

description: Individualized nutritional management based on appropriate energy requirements has been reported to potentially improve clinical outcomes. Resting energy expenditure (REE) is the largest component of Total energy expenditure (TEE) and the most important factor in determining energy requirements. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is the gold standard method for measuring REE and calculating TEE, but has inherent limitations restricting its use in real-world clinical practice. As an alternative, many prediction equations have been developed to provide estimated REE from anthropometric data and clinical conditions. However, the validity of the prediction equation for REE in older adults is unclear.

Sensitive dependence of the linewidth enhancement factor on electronic quantum effects in quantum cascade lasers

description: The linewidth enhancement factor (LEF) describes the coupling between amplitude and phase fluctuations in a semiconductor laser, and has recently been shown to be a crucial component for frequency comb formation in addition to linewidth broadening. It necessarily arises from causality, as famously formulated by the Kramers-Kronig relation, in media with non-trivial dependence of the susceptibility on intensity variations. While thermal contributions are typically slow, and thus can often be excluded by suitably designing the dynamics of an experiment, the many quantum contributions are harder to separate. In order to understand and, ultimately, design the LEF to suitable values for frequency comb formation, soliton generation, or narrow laser linewidth, it is therefore important to systematically model all these effects. In this comprehensive work, we introduce a general scheme for computing the LEF, which we employ with a non-equilibrium Green's function model. This direct method, based on simulating the system response under varying optical intensity, and extracting the dependence of the susceptibility to intensity fluctuations, can include all relevant electronic effects and predicts the LEF of an operating quantum cascade laser to be in the range of 0.1 - 1, depending on laser bias and frequency. We also confirm that many-body effects, off-resonant transitions, dispersive (Bloch) gain, counter-rotating terms, intensity-dependent transition energy, and precise subband distributions all significantly contribute and are important for accurate simulations of the LEF.

description: Many Early-type galaxies (ETG) have ionized gas emission in their centres that extends to scales of ~ 1kpc. The majority of such objects are classified as LINERs, but the nature of their ionizing source is still not clear. The kinematics associated with these gaseous structures usually shows deviations from a pure rotational motion due to non-gravitational effects or to non-axisymmetric potentials. This is the third of a series of papers that describes a sample of 10 nearby and massive ETG observed with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph in Integral Field mode installed on the Gemini-South telescope. In paper II, we performed spectral synthesis to subtract the stellar components from the data cubes of the sample galaxies in order to study their nuclear spectra. Here, we analyse the circumnuclear gas emission (scales of ~ 100 pc) of the sample galaxies. Circumnuclear gas emission was detected in seven galaxies, all of them classified as LINERs. Pure gaseous discs are found in three galaxies. In two objects, gaseous discs are probably present, but their kinematics are affected by non-Keplerian motions. In IC 5181, we detected a spiral structure of gas that may be caused either by a non-axisymmetric potential or by an outflow together with a gaseous disc. In NGC 3136, an ionization bicone is present in addition to five compact structures with LINER-like emission. In galaxies with a gaseous disc, we found that ionizing photons emitted by an AGN are not enough to explain the observed Ha flux along this structure. On the other hand, the Ha flux distribution and equivalent width along the direction perpendicular the gaseous disc suggest the presence of low-velocity ionized gas emission which seem to be related to the nuclear activity. We propose a scenario for LINER-like circumnuclear regions where a low-velocity ionization cone is formed by a collimating agent aligned with the gaseous disc.

description: We present a privileged Fock quantization of a massive Dirac field in a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology, partially selected by the criteria of invariance of the vacuum under the symmetries of the field equations, and unitary implementation of the dynamics. When quantizing free scalar fields in homogeneous and isotropic spacetimes with compact spatial sections, these criteria have been shown to pick out a unique Fock representation (up to unitary equivalence). Here, we employ the same criteria for fermion fields and explore whether that uniqueness result can be extended to the case of the Fock quantization of fermions. For the massive Dirac field, we start by introducing a specific choice of the complex structure that determines the Fock representation. Such structure is invariant under the symmetries of the equations of motion. We then prove that the corresponding representation of the canonical anticommutation relations admits a unitary implementation of the dynamics. Moreover, we construct a rather general class of representations that satisfy the above criteria, and we demonstrate that they are all unitarily equivalent to our previous choice. The complex structures in this class are restricted only by certain conditions on their asymptotic behavior for modes in the ultraviolet sector of the Dirac operator. We finally show that, if one assumes that these asymptotic conditions are in fact trivial once our criteria are fulfilled, then the time-dependent scaling in the definition of the fermionic annihilation and creation-like variables is essentially unique.

description: We study the associated production of prompt $J/ψ$ mesons and $W$ or $Z$ bosons within the factorization approach of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) at next-to-leading order in $α_s$, via intermediate color singlet ${^3}S_1^{[1]}$ and ${^3}P_J^{[1]}$ and color octet ${^1S}_0^{[8]}$, ${^3S}_1^{[8]}$ and ${^3P}_J^{[8]}$ states. Requiring for our predictions to be compatible with recent ATLAS measurements yields stringent new constraints on charmonium long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) being nonperturbative, process-independent input parameters. Considering four popular LDME sets fitted to data of single $J/ψ$ inclusive production, we find that one is marginally compatible with the data, with central predictions typically falling short by a factor of three, one is unfavored, the factor of shortfall being about one order of magnitude, and two violate cross section positivity for direct $J/ψ+W/Z$ production. The large rate of prompt $J/ψ$ plus $W$ production observed by ATLAS provides strong evidence for the color octet mechanism inherent to NRQCD factorization, the leading color singlet contribution entering only at $\mathcal{O}(G_Fα_s^4)$, beyond the order considered here.

description: We first observe that for Lifshitz black holes whose only charge is the mass, the resulting Smarr relation is a direct consequence of the Lifshitz Cardy formula. From this observation, we propose to extend the Cardy formula to the case of electrically charged Lifshitz black holes satisfying as well a Smarr relation. The expression of our formula depends on the dynamical exponent, the energy and the charge of the ground state which is played by a magnetically charged soliton obtained through a double Wick rotation. The expression also involves a factor multiplying the chemical potentials which varies in function of the electromagnetic theory considered. This factor is precisely the one that appears in the Smarr formula for charged Lifshitz black holes. We test the validity of this Cardy formula in different situations where electrically Lifshitz charged black holes satisfying a Smarr relation are known. We then extend these results to electrically charged black holes with hyperscaling violation. Finally, an example in the charged AdS case is also provided.

Holographic Dark Energy from Acceleration of Particle Horizon

description: Following the holographic principle, which suggests that the energy density of dark energy may be proportional inversely to the area of the event horizon of the Universe, we have proposed a new energy density of dark energy through the acceleration of particle horizon scaled by the length of this parameter. This model depends only on one free parameter beta=0-1.99. For beta's near zero, the deviation of the model compared with the Lambda CDM model is tangible while for values beta=1.99, the suggested model has no conflict with Lambda CDM theory. Regardless of the value of beta, the model presents dark energy that behaves such as matter with positive pressure in high redshifts =0.33, while for present and near-future Universe treats like the cosmological constant model and phantom field. Comparing the model with Ricci dark energy illustrates our model alleviates Ricci dark energy errors in calculating the age of old supernovae and the evolution of different cosmic components in high redshifts. Moreover, we have calculated matter structure formation parameters such as CMB temperature and matter power spectrum of the model to consider the effects of matter-like dark energy during the matter-dominated era.

Veterans’ Perspective of their Health Care Access

description: This investigation sought to evaluate veterans’ access and quality of care through Veteran’s Administration (VA) in a rural setting of Onslow County, North Carolina (NC). Access to care has been in question since 2008 due to long appointment wait times and distance of travel to receive care. From simple factors like transportation ability to health facilities, hospital wait times, efficiency of call centers, individual ones like stigma related to seeking mental health care to systemic infrastructure and lack of providers have been claimed to hamper veterans’ access to healthcare (McGill, 2016; Steele, 2016). At the national level, the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) has acknowledged this problem and implemented the VA Strategic Plan for fiscal years 2014-2020 with a goals to improve veterans’ medical care experience. In Onslow County, NC, a mostly rural setting, veteran population over 18 years of age ranks the highest with over 30,000 veterans in 2015 and growing. The nearest Veteran hospital with specialty and ancillary services is located within one to two hours from Onslow County. Because of the extensive rural geographic variations and provider demand for this county, the veteran population has been known to use multiple alternatives to meet their health care needs. The use of multiple providers has the potential for duplication of services, overburden, and discontinuity in health care which impacts cost and quality of medical care. Veterans’ perceptions of the most relevant and common barriers to health care were assessed through a mixed-method approach of quantitative data (surveys) and qualitative data (interviews). Preliminary analysis was conducted through descriptive statistics and content analysis. Results revealed veterans (21.8%) believed the most consistent barrier to access to care was appointment based and most are under the care of two or more physicians. Interviews found 29.9% of veterans were more concerned over quality of care in terms of professionalism by staff and 26.9% discussed concerns with timely appointments. A systemic review of veterans’ health care experience through DVA centers is essential to influence policy measures and identify system gaps in delivery of timely appointments and quality care.

description: Subspace clustering is the classical problem of clustering a collection of data samples that approximately lie around several low-dimensional subspaces. The current state-of-the-art approaches for this problem are based on the self-expressive model which represents the samples as linear combination of other samples. However, these approaches require sufficiently well-spread samples for accurate representation which might not be necessarily accessible in many applications. In this paper, we shed light on this commonly neglected issue and argue that data distribution within each subspace plays a critical role in the success of self-expressive models. Our proposed solution to tackle this issue is motivated by the central role of data augmentation in the generalization power of deep neural networks. We propose two subspace clustering frameworks for both unsupervised and semi-supervised settings that use augmented samples as an enlarged dictionary to improve the quality of the self-expressive representation. We present an automatic augmentation strategy using a few labeled samples for the semi-supervised problem relying on the fact that the data samples lie in the union of multiple linear subspaces. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of data augmentation, as it significantly improves the performance of general self-expressive models.

description: The collective dynamics of two non-interacting two-level emitters, which are coupled to a structured wave guide that supports two-photon bound states, is investigated. Tuning the energy of the two emitters such that they are in resonance with the two-photon bound state energy band, we identify parameter regimes where the system displays fractional populations and essentially undamped Rabi oscillations. The Rabi oscillations, which have no analog in the single-emitter dynamics, are attributed to the existence of a collective polaron-like photonic state that is induced by the emitter-photon coupling. The full dynamics is reproduced by a two-state model, in which the photonic polaron interacts with the state $|e,e,\text{vac} \rangle$ (two emitters in their excited state and empty wave guide) through a Rabi coupling frequency that depends on the emitter separation. Our work demonstrates that emitter-photon coupling can lead to an all-to-all momentum space interaction between two-photon bound states and tunable non-Markovian dynamics, opening up a new direction for emitter arrays coupled to a waveguide.
