description: Semi-inclusive processes are very promising to investigate $XYZ$ hadrons at the next generation of electron-hadron facilities, because they generally boast higher cross sections. We extend our formalism of exclusive photoproduction to semi-inclusive final states. The inclusive production cross sections for charged axial-vector $Z$ states from pion exchange are predicted. We isolate the contribution of $Δ$ resonances at small missing mass. Production near threshold is shown to be enhanced roughly by a factor of two compared to the exclusive reaction. We benchmark the model with data of semi-inclusive $b_1^\pm$ production.

description: We report a computational study of the anion states of the resveratrol (RV) and resorcinol (RS) molecules, also investigating dissociative electron attachment (DEA) pathways. RV has well known beneficial effects in human health, and its antioxidant activity was previously associated with DEA reactions producing H$_2$. Our calculations indicate a valence bound state ($π^*_1$) and four resonances ($π^*_2$ to $π^*_5$) for that system. While the computed thermodynamical thresholds are compatible with DEA reactions producing H$_2$ at 0~eV, the well known mechanism involving vibrational Feshbach resonances built on a dipole bound state should not be present in RV. Our results suggest that the shallow $π^*_1$ valence bound state is expected to account for H$_2$ elimination, probably involving $π_1^*$/$σ_{\text{OH}}^*$ couplings along the vibration dynamics. The RS molecule is also an oxidant and a subunit of RV. Since two close-lying hydroxyl groups are found in the RS moiety, the H$_2$-elimination reaction in RV should take place at the RS site. Our calculations point out a correspondence between the anion states of RV and RS, and even between the thresholds. Nevertheless, the absence of bound anion states in RS, indicated by our calculations, is expected to suppress the H$_2$-formation channel at 0~eV. One is lead to conclude that the ethene and phenol subunits in RV stabilize the $π^*_1$ state, thus switching on the DEA mechanism producing H$_2$.

description: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) modulates the expression of numerous genes via interaction with a specific DNA sequence termed the kappa B site. Its activity is modulated by a cytosolic inhibitor protein termed I kappa B, and its activation occurs in response to a variety of agents in a variety of cell types, most notably B and T lymphocytes. Data presented here show that an activity (designated complex I) that binds specifically to the kappa B site is induced in density-arrested Balb/c-3T3 mouse fibroblasts by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a potent mitogen for these cells. Increased levels of complex I, as evaluated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays of nuclear extracts, were observed in cells treated for 1-4 h (but not 15 min) with the BB isoform of PDGF. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) and the AA isoform of PDGF also stimulated this response and both isoforms, but not TPA, were effective in cells depleted of protein kinase C. Complex I most likely is authentic NF-kappa B, a p50-p65 heterodimer, or a closely related factor because it exhibited properties characteristic of those previously described for NF-kappa B including inducibility by deoxycholate and cycloheximide and sensitivity to I kappa B. A second kappa B binding activity (complex II), which apparently contained p50 homodimers, displayed limited induction by PDGF, whereas a third complex (complex III) migrated faster than but behaved similarly to complex I. These studies suggest that NF-kappa B or an NF-kappa B-like factor may participate in the expression of PDGF-inducible genes.

description: A longstanding mystery in understanding cuprate superconductors is the inconsistency between the experimental data measured by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In particular, the gap between prominent side peaks observed in STS is much bigger than the superconducting gap observed by ARPES measurements. Here, we reconcile the two experimental techniques by generalising a theory which was previously applied to zero-dimensional mesoscopic Kondo systems to strongly correlated two-dimensional (2D) exotic superconductors. We show that the side peaks observed in tunneling conductance measurements in all these materials have a universal origin: They are formed by coherence-mediated tunneling under bias and do not directly reflect the underlying density of states (DOS) of the sample. We obtain theoretical predictions of the tunneling conductance and the density of states of the sample simultaneously and show that for cuprate and pnictide superconductors, the extracted sample DOS is consistent with the superconducting gap measured by ARPES.

description: In budding yeast, spindle polarity relies on a precise temporal program of cytoplasmic microtubule–cortex interactions throughout spindle assembly. Loss of Clb5-dependent kinase activity under conditions of attenuated Cdc28 function disrupts this program, resulting in diploid-specific lethality. Here we show that polarity loss is tolerated by haploids due to a more prominent contribution of microtubule–neck interactions to spindle orientation inherent to haploids. These differences are mediated by the relative partition of Bud6 between the bud tip and bud neck, distinguishing haploids from diploids. Bud6 localizes initially to the bud tip and accumulates at the neck concomitant with spindle assembly. bud6Δ mutant phenotypes are consistent with Bud6's role as a cortical cue for cytoplasmic microtubule capture. Moreover, mutations that affect Bud6 localization and partitioning disrupt the sequential program of microtubule–cortex interactions accordingly. These data support a model whereby Bud6 sequentially cues microtubule capture events at the bud tip followed by capture events at the bud neck, necessary for correct spindle morphogenesis and polarity.

description: We have analyzed a sample of 27,258 fundamental-mode RR Lyrae variable stars (type RRab) detected recently toward the Galactic bulge by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey. The data support our earlier claim that these metal-poor stars trace closely the barred structure formed of intermediate-age red clump giants. The distance to the Galactic center (GC) inferred from the bulge RR Lyrae stars is R_0=8.27+/-0.01(stat)+/-0.40(sys) kpc. We show that their spatial distribution has the shape of a triaxial ellipsoid with an major axis located in the Galactic plane and inclined at an angle of i=20+/-3 deg to the Sun-GC line of sight. The obtained scale-length ratio of the major axis to the minor axis in the Galactic plane and to the axis vertical to the plane is 1:0.49(2):0.39(2). We do not see the evidence for the bulge RR Lyrae stars forming an X-shaped structure. Based on the light curve parameters, we derive metallicities of the RRab variables and show that there is a very mild but statistically significant radial metallicity gradient. About 60% of the bulge RRab stars form two very close sequences on the period-amplitude (or Bailey) diagram, which we interpret as two major old bulge populations: A and B. Their metallicities likely differ. Population A is about four times less abundant than the slightly more metal-poor population B. Most of the remaining stars seem to represent other, even more metal-poor populations of the bulge. The presence of multiple old populations indicates that the Milky Way bulge was initially formed through mergers.

description: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, defined as individuals aged 15-39 years at initial cancer diagnosis, form a unique population; they face age-specific issues (e.g., fertility, employment, financial stability) as they transition to adulthood. AYAs report both negative (e.g. reduced quality of life) and positive (e.g. changes in outlook on life) impacts from cancer. Unlike dedicated healthcare and trials for pediatric and older adult cancer patients, AYA-specific healthcare services are scarce and vary across the world. Consensus on the main outcomes of importance to AYAs will catalyze the systematic collection and use of data to inform decision-making in research and cancer care. The aim of this project is to develop a core outcome set (COS) for AYAs with cancer. The methodological standards from the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) and the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) for COS development will guide the development of the COS for AYAs with cancer. The project will consist of the following phases: (1) define the scope of the COS; (2) establish the need for a COS in this field (3) assemble an international, multi-stakeholder working group; (4) develop a detailed protocol; (5) determine “what to measure” (i.e., outcomes); (6) determine “how to measure” (i.e., measures); and (7) determine “case-mix” variables (e.g. sex, ethnicity, type of treatment). This literature review aims to inform the development of a core outcome set for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, regarding the outcomes, measurement tools and case-mix factors (phase 5, 6 and 7). The development of a COS for AYAs with cancer will facilitate the implementation of efficient and relevant standards for data collection, both for clinical trials and in routine healthcare, thereby increasing the usefulness of these data to improve the value of the care given to these underserved young cancer patients.

description: Drosophila Armadillo and its mammalian homologue β-catenin are scaffolding proteins involved in the assembly of multiprotein complexes with diverse biological roles. They mediate adherens junction assembly, thus determining tissue architecture, and also transduce Wnt/Wingless intercellular signals, which regulate embryonic cell fates and, if inappropriately activated, contribute to tumorigenesis. To learn more about Armadillo/β-catenin's scaffolding function, we examined in detail its interaction with one of its protein targets, cadherin. We utilized two assay systems: the yeast two-hybrid system to study cadherin binding in the absence of Armadillo/β-catenin's other protein partners, and mammalian cells where interactions were assessed in their presence. We found that segments of the cadherin cytoplasmic tail as small as 23 amino acids bind Armadillo or β-catenin in yeast, whereas a slightly longer region is required for binding in mammalian cells. We used mutagenesis to identify critical amino acids required for cadherin interaction with Armadillo/β-catenin. Expression of such short cadherin sequences in mammalian cells did not affect adherens junctions but effectively inhibited β-catenin–mediated signaling. This suggests that the interaction between β-catenin and T cell factor family transcription factors is a sensitive target for disruption, making the use of analogues of these cadherin derivatives a potentially useful means to suppress tumor progression.

description: Background: Law enforcement depends on cooperation from the public and crime victims to protect citizens and maintain public safety; however, many crimes are not reported to police because of fear of repercussions or because the crime is considered trivial. It is unclear how police reporting affects the incidence of future victimization. Objective: To evaluate the association between reporting victimization to police and incident future victimization. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using National Crime Victimization Survey 2008-2012 data. Participants were 12+ years old household members who may or may not be victimized, were followed biannually for 3 years, and who completed at least one followup survey after their first reported victimization between 2008 and 2012. Crude and adjusted generalized linear mixed regression for survey data with Poisson link were used to compare rates of future victimization. Results: Out of 18,657 eligible participants, 41% participants reported to their initial victimization to police and had a future victimization rate of 42.8/100 person-years (PY) (95% CI: 40.7, 44.8). The future victimization rate of those who did not report to the police (59%) was 55.0/100 PY (95% CI: 53.0, 57.0). The adjusted rate ratio comparing police reporting to not reporting was 0.78 (95%CI: 0.72, 0.84) for all future victimizations, 0.80 (95% CI: 0.72, 0.90) for interpersonal violence, 0.73 (95% CI: 0.68, 0.78) for thefts, and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.84, 1.07) for burglaries. Conclusions: Reporting victimization to police is associated with fewer future victimization, underscoring the importance of police reporting in crime prevention. This association may be attributed to police action and victim services provisions resulting from reporting. © 2016 Ranapurwala et al.

description: Importance Bullying is the most widespread form of peer aggression in schools. In an effort to address school bullying, 49 states have passed antibullying statutes. Despite the ubiquity of these policies, there has been limited empirical examination of their effectiveness in reducing students' risk of being bullied. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of antibullying legislation in reducing students' risk of being bullied and cyberbullied, using data from 25 states in the United States. Design, Setting, and Participants A cross-sectional observational studywas conducted using a population-based survey of 63 635 adolescents in grades 9 to 12 from 25 states participating in the 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System study (September 2010-December 2011). Data on antibullying legislation were obtained from the US Department of Education (DOE), which commissioned a systematic review of state laws in 2011. The report identified 16 key components that were divided into the following 4 broad categories: purpose and definition of the law, district policy development and review, school district policy components (eg, responsibilities for reporting bullying incidents), and additional components (eg, how policies are communicated). Policy variables from 25 states were linked to individual-level data from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System on experiencing bullying and cyberbullying. Analyses were conducted between March 1, 2014, and December 1, 2014. Exposure State antibullying legislation. Main Outcomes and Measures Exposure to bullying and cyberbullying in the past 12 months. Results There was substantial variation in the rates of bullying and cyberbullying across states. After controlling for relevant state-level confounders, students in states with at least 1 DOE legislative component in the antibullying law had a 24%(95%CI, 15%-32%) reduced odds of reporting bullying and 20%(95%CI, 9%-29%) reduced odds of reporting cyberbullying compared with students in states whose laws had no DOE legislative components. Three individual components of antibullying legislation were consistently associated with decreased odds of exposure to both bullying and cyberbullying: statement of scope, description of prohibited behaviors, and requirements for school districts to develop and implement local policies. Conclusions and Relevance Antibullying policiesmay represent effective intervention strategies for reducing students' risk of being bullied and cyberbullied in schools.

Evidence for an Intrinsic Toxicity of Phosphatidylcholine to Sec14p-dependent Protein Transport from the Yeast Golgi Complex

description: Yeast phosphatidylinositol-transfer protein (Sec14p) is essential for Golgi secretory function and cell viability. This requirement of Sec14p is relieved by genetic inactivation of the cytidine diphosphate-choline pathway for phosphatidycholine (PtdCho) biosynthesis. Standard phenotypic analyses indicate that inactivation of the phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) pathway for PtdCho biosynthesis, however, does not rescue the growth and secretory defects associated with Sec14p deficiency. We now report inhibition of choline uptake from the media reveals an efficient “bypass Sec14p” phenotype associated with PtdEtn-methylation pathway defects. We further show that the bypass Sec14p phenotype associated with PtdEtn-methylation pathway defects resembles other bypass Sec14p mutations in its dependence on phospholipase D activity. Finally, we find that increased dosage of enzymes that catalyze phospholipase D-independent turnover of PtdCho, via mechanisms that do not result in a direct production of phosphatidic acid or diacylglycerol, effect a partial rescue of sec14-1ts-associated growth defects. Taken together, these data support the idea that PtdCho is intrinsically toxic to yeast Golgi secretory function.

description: Network data are increasingly collected along with other variables of interest. Our motivation is drawn from neurophysiology studies measuring brain connectivity networks for a sample of individuals along with their membership to a low or high creative reasoning group. It is of paramount importance to develop statistical methods for testing of global and local changes in the structural interconnections among brain regions across groups. We develop a general Bayesian procedure for inference and testing of group differences in the network structure, which relies on a nonparametric representation for the conditional probability mass function associated with a network-valued random variable. By leveraging a mixture of low-rank factorizations, we allow simple global and local hypothesis testing adjusting for multiplicity. An efficient Gibbs sampler is defined for posterior computation. We provide theoretical results on the flexibility of the model and assess testing performance in simulations. The approach is applied to provide novel insights on the relationships between human brain networks and creativity.

description: Next generation neutrino oscillation experiments utilize details of hadronic final states to improve the precision of neutrino interaction measurements. The hadronic system was often neglected or poorly modeled in the past, but they have significant effects on high precision neutrino oscillation and cross-section measurements. Among the physics of hadronic systems in neutrino interactions, the hadronization model controls multiplicities and kinematics of final state hadrons from the primary interaction vertex. For relatively high invariant mass events, many neutrino experiments rely on the PYTHIA program. Here, we show a possible improvement of this process in neutrino event generators, by utilizing expertise from the HERMES experiment. Finally, we estimate the impact on the systematics of hadronization models for neutrino mass hierarchy analysis using atmospheric neutrinos such as the PINGU experiment.

description: Microtubule dynamics are influenced by interactions of microtubules with cellular factors and by changes in the primary sequence of the tubulin molecule. Mutations of yeast β-tubulin C354, which is located near the binding site of some antimitotic compounds, reduce microtubule dynamicity greater than 90% in vivo and in vitro. The resulting intrinsically stable microtubules allowed us to determine which, if any, cellular processes are dependent on dynamic microtubules. The average number of cytoplasmic microtubules decreased from 3 in wild-type to 1 in mutant cells. The single microtubule effectively located the bud site before bud emergence. Although spindles were positioned near the bud neck at the onset of anaphase, the mutant cells were deficient in preanaphase spindle alignment along the mother-bud axis. Spindle microtubule dynamics and spindle elongation rates were also severely depressed in the mutants. The pattern and extent of cytoplasmic microtubule dynamics modulation through the cell cycle may reveal the minimum dynamic properties required to support growth. The ability to alter intrinsic microtubule dynamics and determine the in vivo phenotype of cells expressing the mutant tubulin provides a critical advance in assessing the dynamic requirements of an essential gene function.

description: Recent Couette-cell shear experiments of carbopol gels have revealed the formation of a transient shear band before reaching the steady state, which is characterized by homogeneous flow. This shear band is observed in the small-gap limit where the shear stress is spatially uniform. An effective-temperature model of the transient shear banding and solid-fluid transition is developed for the small-gap limit. The small-gap model demonstrates the ability of a continuum-constitutive law that is based solely on microstructural rearrangements of the gel to account for this transient behavior, and identifies that it proceeds via two distinct processes. A shear band nucleates and gradually broadens via disordering at the interface of the band. Simultaneously, spatially homogeneous fluidization is induced outside of the shear band where the disorder of the gel grows uniformly. Experimental data are used to determine the physical parameters of the theory, and direct, quantitative comparison is made to measurements of the structural evolution of the gel, its fluidization time, and its mechanical response under plastic flow.

description: Using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow multi-elemental oxides (MEO) is generally challenging, partly due to difficulty in stoichiometry control. Occasionally, if one of the elements is volatile at the growth temperature, stoichiometry control can be greatly simplified using adsorption-controlled growth mode. Otherwise, stoichiometry control remains one of the main hurdles to achieving high quality MEO film growths. Here, we report another kind of self-limited growth mode, dubbed diffusion-assisted epitaxy, in which excess species diffuses into the substrate and leads to the desired stoichiometry, in a manner similar to the conventional adsorption-controlled epitaxy. Specifically, we demonstrate that using diffusion-assisted epitaxy, high-quality epitaxial CuCrO$_2$ films can be grown over a wide growth window without precise flux control using MBE.

description: The aim of this study was to assess the association between state firearm legislation and law enforcement-related deaths (LEDs) and its modification by race. We used secondary data from an ecological cohort of 16 states (2010 to 2016), using the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), the State Firearm Law Database and additional public sources. Poisson regression with generalised estimating equations and inverse probability of exposure weights to account for time-varying confounding were used to quantify the association. LEDs were also disaggregated by race (Black vs non-Black). A total of 1593 LEDs took place during the 6-year study period. After adjusting for confounders, the IRR among non-Blacks was 0.48 (95% CI 0.26 to 0.89) and 1.53 (95% CI 0.93 to 2.54) among Blacks. Our findings highlight the fact that increased firearm provisions may decrease rates of LED among non-Black American individuals-an association not observed among Black Americans.

description: This activity helps participants to understand how assumptions are made based on ideas of ‘national culture’. It seeks to help them reflect on the source of these assumptions, the validity or lack of in their use and how they lead to stereotypes, prejudice and can fuel racism. It should help them understand how notions of a national culture are used by powerful groups to promote an ‘us and them’ (with ‘us’ generally being seen as superior). It could also lead to understanding the concept of ‘othering’.

description: A multitude of industries, including energy and process engineering, as well as academia are researching and utilizing new fluid substances to further the aim of sustainability. Knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of these substances is a prerequisite, if they are to be utilized to their fullest potential. To date, the way to acquire reliable knowledge of the thermodynamic behavior is through measurements. The ensuing experimental data are then used to develop equations of state, which efficiently embody the gained knowledge of the behavior of the fluid substance, allow for interpolation and, to some extent, extrapolation. However, the acquisition of low-uncertainty experimental data, and thus the development of accurate equations of state, is often time-consuming and expensive. For substances for which suitable force field models exist, molecular modeling and simulation are well-suited to generate thermodynamic data or to augment experimental data, however, at the expense of larger uncertainties. The major goal of this work is to present a new approach for the development of equations of state using (1) symbolic regression, which is a machine learning based model development approach, (2) optimal experimental design, and (3) efficient data acquisition. We demonstrate this approach using the example of density data of an air-like binary mixture (0.2094O2+0.7906N2) over the temperature range from 100K to 300K at pressures of up to 8MPa, which covers the gaseous, liquid, and supercritical regions. For this purpose, an experimental data set published by von Preetzmann et al. (Int. J. Thermophys. 42, 2021) and molecular simulation data sampled in this work are used. The two data sets are compared in terms of acquisition time, cost, and uncertainty, showing that an optimized combination of experimental and simulation data leads to lower cost while maintaining low uncertainties.

description: EB1 targets to polymerizing microtubule ends, where it is favorably positioned to regulate microtubule polymerization and confer molecular recognition of the microtubule end. In this study, we focus on two aspects of the EB1–microtubule interaction: regulation of microtubule dynamics by EB1 and the mechanism of EB1 association with microtubules. Immunodepletion of EB1 from cytostatic factor-arrested M-phase Xenopus egg extracts dramatically reduced microtubule length; this was complemented by readdition of EB1. By time-lapse microscopy, EB1 increased the frequency of microtubule rescues and decreased catastrophes, resulting in increased polymerization and decreased depolymerization and pausing. Imaging of EB1 fluorescence revealed a novel structure: filamentous extensions on microtubule plus ends that appeared during microtubule pauses; loss of these extensions correlated with the abrupt onset of polymerization. Fluorescent EB1 localized to comets at the polymerizing plus ends of microtubules in cytostatic factor extracts and uniformly along the lengths of microtubules in interphase extracts. The temporal decay of EB1 fluorescence from polymerizing microtubule plus ends predicted a dissociation half-life of seconds. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching also revealed dissociation and rebinding of EB1 to the microtubule wall with a similar half-life. EB1 targeting to microtubules is thus described by a combination of higher affinity binding to polymerizing ends and lower affinity binding along the wall, with continuous dissociation. The latter is likely to be attenuated in interphase. The highly conserved effect of EB1 on microtubule dynamics suggests it belongs to a core set of regulatory factors conserved in higher organisms, and the complex pattern of EB1 targeting to microtubules could be exploited by the cell for coordinating microtubule behaviors.

description: Behavioural activation (BA) is an effective treatment for older adults with depression. However, most older adults with depression or depressive symptoms are treated with antidepressant medication. The current study investigates whether the stable use of antidepressants or anxiolytics enhances or reduces treatment effect of BA, as compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in primary care. Furthermore, we will exploratively investigate whether the use of anxiolytics and antidepressants changes as a result of treatment. See attached document.

description: In this work, we analytically investigate a degenerating PDE system for phase separation and complete damage processes considered on a nonsmooth time-dependent domain with mixed boundary conditions. The evolution of the system is described by a \textit{degenerating} Cahn-Hilliard equation for the concentration, a doubly nonlinear differential inclusion for the damage variable and a \textit{degenerating} quasi-static balance equation for the displacement field. All these equations are highly nonlinearly coupled. Because of the doubly degenerating character of the system, the doubly nonlinear differential inclusion and the nonsmooth domain, the structure of the model is very complex from an analytical point of view. A novel approach is introduced for proving existence of weak solutions for such degenerating coupled system. To this end, we first establish a suitable notion of weak solutions, which consists of weak formulations of the diffusion and the momentum balance equation, a variational inequality for the damage process and a total energy inequality. To show existence of weak solutions, several new ideas come into play. Various results on shrinking sets and its corresponding local Sobolev spaces are used. It turns out that, for instance, on open sets which shrink in time a quite satisfying analysis in Sobolev spaces is possible. The presented analysis can handle highly nonsmooth regions where complete damage takes place. To mention only one difficulty, infinitely many completely damaged regions which are not connected with the Dirichlet boundary may occur in arbitrary small time intervals.

description: Our world is wonderful because of the normal but negligibly small baryonic part (i.e., atoms) although unknown dark matter and dark energy dominate the Universe. A stable atomic nucleus could be simply termed as ``strong matter'' since its nature is dominated by the fundamental strong interaction. Is there any other form of strong matter? Although nuclei are composed of 2-flavoured (i.e., up and down flavours of valence quarks) nucleons, it is conjectured that bulk strong matter could be 3-flavoured (with additional strange quarks) if the baryon number exceeds the critical value, $A_{\rm c}$, in which case quarks could be either free (so-called strange quark matter) or localized (in strangeons, coined by combining ``strange nucleon''). Bulk strong matter could be manifested in the form of compact stars, cosmic rays, and even dark matter. This trinity will be explained in this brief review, that may impact dramatically on today's physics, particularly in the era of multi-messenger astronomy after the discovery of gravitational wave.

Summary
The field of social work has seen increased recognition across many sectors in recent years. Evolving racial, political, and medical paradigms and the COVID-19 pandemic have shown the importance of a person-centered approach to health and mental health. One such area of practice is neurology, specifically work with people with Parkinson's disease (PD), which is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, currently impacting more than 10 million people worldwide. While social workers have long played key roles in multidisciplinary teams in PD care settings, research and literature offering assessment and evidence in this area remain limited. This research study used a mixed-methods approach with additional in-depth qualitative interviews conducted with 11 social workers. This article presents findings from the 11 interviewees who are presently working with people with PD using thematic analysis.

Findings
Themes emerging were an in-depth detailed role of the social worker, the importance of strong relationships working with people with PD and their families, multidisciplinary teams, and the community. Institutional challenges were highlighted concerning supporting social work positions and encouraging social work intervention from the beginning of diagnosis to the end stages of the disease. COVID-19 proved very challenging for social workers, multidisciplinary teams, and families, and yet positive practices were identified as well.

Applications
The impact of this study reinforces the essential role specialized PD social workers play in multidisciplinary PD teams and recognition needed to increase their role through early intervention reflected in increasing social work positions in neurology.
CP Asymmetries (\& T Violation) in Known Matter -- and beyond

description: Finding \cp~violation (\CPV ) in 1964 produced a real revolution in the fundamental dynamics, although the community did not understand it right away. The paper by Kobayashi \& Maskawa \cite{KM} appeared in 1973 to describe \CPV~in classes of three (or more) families of quarks, non-minimal Higgs' dynamics and/or charged right-handed currents. The Standard Model is defined now with three families of quarks. It can describe the measured \cp~ \& \ot~violation in kaon and $B$ mesons at least as the leading source. None has been found in baryons, charm mesons, top quarks and EDMs -- except from `hot' news from LHCb data about {\bf T}-odd moment in $Λ_b^0 \to p π^-π^+π^-$ \cite{LHCbtalk}. We have failed the explain our matter vs. anti-matter huge asymmetry. Even when there is no obvious connections with that asymmetry, it makes sense to probe \CPV~for the signs of New Dynamics \& their features. Furthermore we have to measure regional \CPV~in many-body final states with accuracy. I discuss EDMs, axion's impact on cosmology \& its connection with Dark Matter; finally I talk about \CPV~in leptonic dynamics.
