description: European Forum Highlight of 26 September 2016
description: The highlight analyses the recent case law of the CJEU on integration conditions for third country nationals legally residing in a Member State. Both EU secondary law and national legislations provide for various forms of integration conditionality. The failure to fulfill the integration requirements imposed at national level may result in a restriction of the rights provided by EU law. However, the recent case law underlines that such conditions must respect the general principles of the EU legal order, principle of equality and principle of proportionality in primis. In fact, integration conditionality measures must favour social inclusion rather than selecting migrants deserving a chance.
title: Exercise interventions and fertility outcomes for women with obesity and experiencing infertility: a narrative review
Creators: name: Maher, Rebecca Ann
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Obesity negatively impacts fertility. Women with obesity and experiencing infertility may improve fertility outcomes through exercise, however there is limited evidence on exercise prescription for this population. Specifically, there is limited information on: (1) exercise interventions that are effective for women with obesity and experiencing infertility, and (2) fertility outcomes impacted by exercise interventions. Purpose: This narrative review will provide an analysis of current exercise interventions and the fertility outcomes reported in the literature. Methods: A systematic search was completed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL. Inclusion criteria for this review included quantitative studies published between 2005-2021 reporting on exercise interventions for women (aged 18-40 years), experiencing obesity (defined as BMI >28kg/m2), and infertility (lasting >1 year). Data were extracted on exercise technique, intensity, duration, and fertility outcomes. Results: Out of 574 articles, 16 publications met review criteria and were included. Ten of the 16 studies demonstrated improvements in the reported primary outcome, and all studies reported benefits in at least one fertility outcome. Cyclic exercise (i.e., walking, cycling) is the technique most incorporated into the exercise intervention, though a combination of cyclic, acyclic (i.e., circuit training, bootcamp), or individualized is often used. Several fertility outcomes are reported; however, rate of conception, pregnancy, and live birth rates are the most common. Conclusion: There are large variations in the specific exercise prescriptions recommended to improve fertility. Most studies examined reported statistically significant positive changes in fertility outcomes after an exercise.

description: The feasibility to manufacture scaffolds of poly-lactic acid reinforced with Zn particles by fused filament fabrication is demonstrated for the first time. Filaments of 2.85 mm in diameter of PLA reinforced with different weight fractions of $μ$m-sized Zn - 1 wt. \% Mg alloy particles (in the range 3.5 to 17.5 wt. \%) were manufactured by a double extrusion in method in which standard extrusion is followed by a precision extrusion in a filament-maker machine. Filaments with constant diameter, negligible porosity and a homogeneous reinforcement distribution were obtained for Zn weight fractions of up to 10.5\%. It was found that the presence of Zn particles led to limited changes in the physico-chemical properties of the PLA that did not affect the window temperature for 3D printing nor the melt flow index. Thus, porous scaffolds could be manufactured by fused filament fabrication at 190\textdegree C with poly-lactic acid/Zn composites containing 3.5 and 7 wt. \% of Zn and at 170\textdegree C when the Zn content was 10.5 wt. \% with excellent dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties.

description: The recently adopted Trade Secrets Directive aims to increase incentives for cross-border innovation activities and business competitiveness in the European Union. Yet, the Directive has been controversial and criticized for failing to provide adequate safeguards for whistleblowers, i.e. individuals who expose information in the public interest. This insight offers a legal analysis of interlinks between protection of trade secrets and whistleblower protection and questions whether the Directive increases the susceptibility of whistleblowers. Furthermore, despite the prima facie antagonism between trade secrets and whistleblowing, this insight shows that their rationale for improving the EU internal market is shared, and points to the necessity of across-the-board EU protection of whistleblowers alongside trade secrets protection.

description: On 19 July 2016 the Grand Chamber of the CJEU issued its judgment in case C 455/14 P, H v. Council et al. It is part of a line of recent cases that help clarify and, arguably, expand the CJEU's jurisdiction over the Common Foreign and Security Policy. What distinguishes H v. Council et al. from the existing case-law is that the CJEU uses a new technique to expand its jurisdiction. Yet, while there is now a new tool in the toolbox, its usage seems to be limited to a narrowly defined set of staff-related disputes.

description: Controlling the dispersion and directionality of the emission of nanosources is one of the major goals of nanophotonics research. This control will allow the development of highly efficient nanosources even at the single photon level. One of the ways to achieve this goal is to couple the emission to Bloch modes of periodic structures. Here, we present the first measurements of the directional emission from nanowire photonic crystals by using Fourier microscopy. With this technique we efficiently collect and resolve the directional emission of nanowires within the numerical aperture of a microscope objective. The light emission from a heterostructure grown in each nanowire is governed by the photonic (Bloch) modes of the photonic crystal. We also demonstrate that the directionality of the emission can be easily controlled by infiltrating the photonic crystal with a high refractive index liquid. This work opens new possibilities for the control of the emission of sources in nanowires.

description: In its judgment in the Swiss MoU case, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) annuls a European Commission decision on the signing of an addendum to a Memorandum of Understanding with Switzerland on the subject of Switzerland's financial contributions to ensure that country's continued access to the internal market after Croatia's accession in 2011. In doing so, the ECJ makes a meaningful contribution to clarifying the law on the issue of the division of powers between the EU institutions with regards to the conclusion of non-binding agreements by the European Union - an issue on which the EU Treaties are silent. Unfortunately, the picture to which Swiss MoU adds a few brush strokes is one in which the power to conclude non-binding agreements is divided only between the Commission and the Council. The European Parliament, by contrast, remains invisible. This Insight argues that a more comprehensive reading of the EU Treaty is called for; one which takes into account not only the policy-making powers of the Council and the power of external representation of the Commission, but also the power of the European Parliament to exercise political control and legislative functions. Only such a reading would do justice to the dual source of democratic legitimacy of the EU: the individual EU citizens as represented in the Parliament, and the EU citizens as represented by their governments in the Council.

description: Recently, phonons with chirality (chiral phonons) have attracted significant attention. Chiral phonons exhibit angular and pseudo-angular momenta. In circularly polarized Raman spectroscopy, the peak split of the $Γ_3$ mode is detectable along the principal axis of the chiral crystal in the backscattering configuration. In addition, peak splitting occurs when the pseudo-angular momenta of the incident and scattered circularly polarized light are reversed. Until now, chiral phonons in binary crystals have been observed, whereas those in unary crystals have not been observed. Here, we observe chiral phonons in a chiral unary crystal Te. The pseudo-angular momentum of the phonon is obtained in Te by an $\textit{ab initio}$ calculation. From this calculation, we verified the conservation law of pseudo-angular momentum in Raman scattering. From this conservation law, we determined the handedness of the chiral crystals. We also evaluated the true chirality of the phonons using a measure with symmetry similar to that of an electric toroidal monopole.

description: On 18 March 2016 the European Union and Turkey reached an agreement aimed at solving the issue of the high numbers of migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece. This agreement intended to close the people-smuggling routes and reduce the number of migrants entering the EU. It focused principally on the following issues: returning to Turkey any migrant entering Greece from Turkey irregularly; and resettling, for every migrant readmitted by Turkey, another Syrian from Turkey. In order to compensate Turkey, the EU committed to accelerating the visa liberalisation roadmap and allocating six billion euros to Turkey to deal with the refugee crisis. Finally, both the EU and Turkey agreed to improve humanitarian conditions in Syria to allow Syrians to remain in the country. This agreement has been heavily criticised by humanitarian organisations and by the European population, and its consistency with international human rights and European laws on refugees is questionable. The agreement comprises nine action points. This paper will analyse five of those points in order to establish whether it respects EU and international law.
Measurement of the energy of the 8.3-eV isomer of 229mTh with photoelectric effect

description: It is proposed to use the photoelectric effect in the inner shells of the 229Th atoms to refine the energy of the 8.3-eV isomer. The calculation was performed using the Feinberg-Migdal shaking theory, which leads to the probability of isomer formation up to several units of 10^-4 in the case of the K shell. As a result, two lines are predicted in the photoelectron spectrum, their separation energy providing the energy of the isomer. Other ways of using the method to study the properties of the isomer are also discussed: through shaking during the formation of radioactive beams in storage rings, etc. Moreover, recording the effect in an experiment will provide the isomer's partial lifetime.

description: Many privacy-type properties of security protocols can be modelled using trace equivalence properties in suitable process algebras. It has been shown that such properties can be decided for interesting classes of finite processes (i.e., without replication) by means of symbolic execution and constraint solving. However, this does not suffice to obtain practical tools. Current prototypes suffer from a classical combinatorial explosion problem caused by the exploration of many interleavings in the behaviour of processes. Mödersheim et al. have tackled this problem for reachability properties using partial order reduction techniques. We revisit their work, generalize it and adapt it for equivalence checking. We obtain an optimization in the form of a reduced symbolic semantics that eliminates redundant interleavings on the fly.

description: Sensor data streams from wearable devices and smart environments are widely studied in areas like human activity recognition (HAR), person identification, or health monitoring. However, most of the previous works in activity and sensor stream analysis have been focusing on one aspect of the data, e.g. only recognizing the type of the activity or only identifying the person who performed the activity. We instead propose an approach that uses a weakly supervised multi-output siamese network that learns to map the data into multiple representation spaces, where each representation space focuses on one aspect of the data. The representation vectors of the data samples are positioned in the space such that the data with the same semantic meaning in that aspect are closely located to each other. Therefore, as demonstrated with a set of experiments, the trained model can provide metrics for clustering data based on multiple aspects, allowing it to address multiple tasks simultaneously and even to outperform single task supervised methods in many situations. In addition, further experiments are presented that in more detail analyze the effect of the architecture and of using multiple tasks within this framework, that investigate the scalability of the model to include additional tasks, and that demonstrate the ability of the framework to combine data for which only partial relationship information with respect to the target tasks is available.
Interplay between columnar and smectic stability in suspensions of polydisperse colloidal platelets

description: The phase behavior of a model suspension of colloidal polydisperse platelets is studied using density-functional theory. Platelets are modelled as parallel rectangular prisms of square section $l$ and height $h$, with length and height distributions given by different polydispersities $δ_l$ and $δ_h$. We obtain the phase behavior of the model, including nematic, smectic and columnar phases and its dependence with the two polydispersities $δ_l$ and $δ_h$. When $δ_l>δ_h$ we observe that the smectic phase stabilises first with respect to the columnar. If $δ_h>δ_l$ we observe the opposite behavior. Other more complicated cases occur, e.g. the smectic stabilises from the nematic first but then exists a first-order transition to the columnar phase. Our model assumes plate-rod symmetry, but the regions of stability of smectic and columnar phases are non-symmetric in the $δ_l-δ_h$ plane due to the different dimensionality of ordering in the two phases. Microsegregation effects, i.e. different spatial distribution for different sizes within the periodic cell, take place in both phases.

description: When two nested models are compared, using a Bayes factor, from an objective standpoint, two seemingly conflicting issues emerge at the time of choosing parameter priors under the two models. On the one hand, for moderate sample sizes, the evidence in favor of the smaller model can be inflated by diffuseness of the prior under the larger model. On the other hand, asymptotically, the evidence in favor of the smaller model typically accumulates at a slower rate. With reference to finitely discrete data models, we show that these two issues can be dealt with jointly, by combining intrinsic priors and nonlocal priors in a new unified class of priors. We illustrate our ideas in a running Bernoulli example, then we apply them to test the equality of two proportions, and finally we deal with the more general case of logistic regression models.

description: Mimetic gravity analysis has been studied as a theory in various types of general relativity extensions, such as mimetic f(R) gravity, mimetic f(R, T) gravity, mimetic f(R, G) gravity, etc., in the literature. This paper presents a set of equations arising from mimetic conditions and studies cosmic inflation with a combination of mimetic f(G) gravity and swampland dS conjectures. We analyze and evaluate these results. Therefore, we first thoroughly introduce the mimetic f(G) gravity and calculate some cosmological parameters such as the scalar spectral index, the tensor-to-scalar ratio, and the slow-roll parameters. Also, we investigate the potential according to the mimetic f(G) gravity. Then we will challenge the swampland dS conjectures with this condition. By expressing the coefficient of swampland dS conjectures viz $C_{1}$ and $C_2$ in terms of $n_{s}$ and $r$, we plot some figures and determine the allowable range for each of these cosmological parameters and these coefficients, and finally, compare these results with observable data such as Planck and BICEP2/Keck array data. We show $C_{1}$ and $C_2$ are not $\mathcal{O}(1)$, so the refining swampland dS conjecture is not satisfied for this inflationary model. Then we examine it with further refining swampland dS conjecture, which has a series of free parameters such as $a,b>0$, $q>2$, and $a+b=1$. By adjusting these parameters, the compatibility of the mentioned conjecture with the inflationary model can be discussed. We determine the further refining swampland dS conjecture is satisfied. when $a < \frac{1}{1.00489}=0.99513$, we can always find $a$, $b$ and $q$ whose value is larger than 2, viz for $q=2.4$, we find $0.99185\leq a < 1$, which we can choose $a=0.99235$ according to the condition $a < 0.99513$. Also we know $b=1-a$, so we will have $1-0.99235=0.00765 > 0$.

description: As is well-known, black hole plays an important role in probing the quantum effects of gravity in the strong-field regime. In this paper, we focus on a polymerized black hole and investigate the quantum effects on the redshift, blueshift and gravitational redshift of photons emitted by massive particles revolving around this black hole. With a general relativistic formalism, we obtain two elegant and concise expressions for the mass of the black hole and the quantum parameter in terms of few direct observables, and find that all the frequency shifts of photons decrease with the quantum parameter. By expanding the total frequency shift for large orbit of the emitter, low peculiar redshift, and small azimuthal angle, we find that the leading contributions to the frequency shift are originated from the kinematic shift and peculiar shift, and the quantum effects make a negligible contribution. In addition, we study the effects of the plasma on the redshift/blueshift for the first time, and conclude that the presence of plasma results in the decrease of the redshift/blueshift.

description: We present an analysis on the BRST symmetry transformations of the Horava theory under the BFV quantization, both in the nonprojectable and projectable cases. We obtain that the BRST transformations are intimately related to a particular spatial diffeomorphism along one of the ghost vector fields. We show explicitly the invariance of the quantum action and the nilpotence of the BRST transformations, using this diffeomorphism largely. The BRST symmetry is verified in the whole phase space, inside and outside the constrained surface. When restricted to the constrained surface, the BRST transformations are completely local. The consistency of the BRST symmetry is a fundamental feature of a quantum field theory, specially for renormalization. The BFV quantization is independent of the chosen gauge-fixing condition. This allows us to show the unitarity of the quantum Horava theory, covering the gauge required for renormalization.

In the absence of truth seekers it was already shown by Hegselmann and Krause that the opinions of the individuals converge.

description: Parker Solar Probe (PSP) conducted several flybys of Venus while using Venus' gravity for orbital adjustments to enable its daring passes of the Sun. During these flybys, PSP turned to image the nightside of Venus using the Wide-field Imager for Solar PRobe (WISPR) optical telescopes, which unexpectedly observed Venus' surface through its thick and cloudy atmosphere in a theorized, but until-then unobserved near-visible spectral window below 0.8 $μ$m. We use observations taken during PSP's fourth Venus gravity assist flyby to examine the origin of the Venus nightside flux and confirm the presence of this new atmospheric window through which to observe the surface geology of Venus. The WISPR images are well explained by emission from the hot Venus surface escaping through a new atmospheric window in the optical with an overlying emission component from the atmosphere at the limb that is consistent with O$_2$ nightglow. The surface thermal emission correlates strongly with surface elevation (via temperature) and emission angle. Tessera and plains units have distinct WISPR brightness values. Controlling for elevation, Ovda Regio tessera is brighter than Thetis Regio; likewise, the volcanic plains of Sogolon Planitia are brighter than the surrounding regional plains units. WISPR brightness at 0.8 $μ$m is predicted to be positively correlated to FeO content in minerals; thus, the brighter units may have a different starting composition, be less weathered, or have larger particle sizes.

description: Named entity recognition (NER) is a popular domain of natural language processing. For this reason, many tools exist to perform this task. Amongst other points, they differ in the processing method they rely upon, the entity types they can detect, the nature of the text they can handle, and their input/output formats. This makes it difficult for a user to select an appropriate NER tool for a specific situation. In this article, we try to answer this question in the context of biographic texts. For this matter, we first constitute a new corpus by annotating Wikipedia articles. We then select publicly available, well known and free for research NER tools for comparison: Stanford NER, Illinois NET, OpenCalais NER WS and Alias-i LingPipe. We apply them to our corpus, assess their performances and compare them. When considering overall performances, a clear hierarchy emerges: Stanford has the best results, followed by LingPipe, Illionois and OpenCalais. However, a more detailed evaluation performed relatively to entity types and article categories highlights the fact their performances are diversely influenced by those factors. This complementarity opens an interesting perspective regarding the combination of these individual tools in order to improve performance.

We develop a framework to quantify the resilience of highly volatile, non-equilibrium social organizations, such as collectives or collaborating teams. It consists of four steps: (i) \emph{delimitation}, i.e., narrowing down the target systems, (ii) \emph{conceptualization}, .e., identifying how to approach social organizations, (iii) formal \emph{representation} using a combination of agent-based and network models, (iv) \emph{operationalization}, i.e. specifying measures and demonstrating how they enter the calculation of resilience. Our framework quantifies two dimensions of resilience, the \emph{robustness} of social organizations and their \emph{adaptivity}, and combines them in a novel resilience measure. It allows monitoring resilience instantaneously using longitudinal data instead of an ex-post evaluation.

description: We study Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of a cascade three-level atom involving 80$D_{5/2}$ state in a strong interaction regime employing a cesium ultracold cloud. In our experiment, a strong coupling laser couples 6$P_{3/2}$ to 80$D_{5/2}$ transition, while a weak probe, driving 6$S_{1/2}$ to 6$P_{3/2}$ transition, probes the coupling induced EIT signal. At the two-photon resonance, we observe that the EIT transmission decreases slowly with time, which is a signature of interaction induced metastability. The dephasing rate $γ_{\rm OD}$ is extracted with optical depth OD = $γ_{\rm OD}t$. We find that the optical depth linearly increases with time at onset for a fixed probe incident photon number $R_{\rm in}$ before saturation. The dephasing rate shows a nonlinear dependence on $R_{\rm in}$. The dephasing mechanism is mainly attributed to the strong dipole-dipole interactions, which leads to state transfer from $nD_{5/2}$ to other Rydberg states. We demonstrate that the typical transfer time $τ_{0(80D)}$ obtained by the state selective field ionization technique is comparable with the decay time of EIT transmission $τ_{0({\rm EIT})}$. The presented experiment provides a useful tool for investigating the strong nonlinear optical effects and metastable state in Rydberg many-body systems.

description: The path integral of Liouville theory is well understood only when the central charge $c\in [25, \infty)$. Here, we study the analytical continuation the lattice Liouville path integral to generic values of $c$, with a particular focus on the vicinity of $c\in (-\infty, 1]$. We show that the $c\in [25, \infty)$ lattice path integral can be continued to one over a new integration cycle of complex field configurations. We give an explicit formula for the new integration cycle in terms of a discrete sum over elementary cycles, which are a direct generalization of the inverse Gamma function contour. Possible statistical interpretations are discussed. We also compare our approach to one focused on Lefschetz thimbles, by solving a two-site toy model in detail. As the parameter equivalent to $c$ varies from $[25, \infty)$ to $(-\infty, 1]$, we find an infinite number of Stokes walls (where the thimbles undergo topological rearrangements), accumulating at the destination point $c \in (-\infty, 1]$, where the thimbles become equivalent to the elementary cycles.

description: One of the important directions in the development of physiology and pharmacology is the study of the influence of various stress factors and the development of methods for pharmacological correction of impaired body functions under stress. The search for potential drugs characterized by a high degree of safety and having a corrective effect in conditions of altered body functions is urgent. In this experiment we studied the effect of neuropeptides belonging to the glyproline group (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (Selank), Pro-Gly-Pro and Pro-Gly-Pro-Leu) on the intensity of redox reactions in the structures of the brain under conditions of experimental “social” stress. The experiment was carried out on non-linear male rats, which were exposed to “social” stress for 20 days and received the studied glyprolines intraperitoneally at doses of 100 mg / kg for 20 days. During the experiment the catalase activity, the initial content of malondialdehyde, the rate of spontaneous and ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidationin the hypothalamic and prefrontal regions of the brain were determined by the spectrophotometric method. It was found that under the influence of Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (Selank), Pro-Gly-Pro and Pro-Gly-Pro-Leu, there is a pronounced inhibition of free radical oxidation processes in the hypothalamic and prefrontal regions of the brain that have arisen against the background of stressful load which is manifested by a decrease in the indicators of the oxidative process. Key words: neuropeptides, glyprolines, Selank, “social” stress, antioxidant activity.

description: Melt-fragility index (m) and glass molar volumes (Vm) of binary Ge-Se melts/glasses are found to change reproducibly as they are homogenized. Variance of Vm decreases as glasses homogenize, and the mean value of Vm increases to saturate at values characteristic of homogeneous glasses. Variance in fragility index of melts also decreases as they are homogenized, and the mean value of m decreases to acquire values characteristic of homogeneous melts. Broad consequences of these observations on physical behavior of chalcogenides melts/glasses are commented upon. The intrinsically slow kinetics of melt homogenization derives from high viscosity of select super-strong melt compositions in the Intermediate Phase that serve to bottleneck atomic diffusion at high temperatures.

description: We report the discovery of a massive and dense transiting planet CoRoT-27b on a 3.58 day orbit around a 4.2 Gyr-old G2 star. The planet candidate was identified from the CoRoT photometry, and was confirmed as a planet with ground-based spectroscopy. The confirmation of the planet candidate is based on radial velocity observations combined with imaging to rule out blends. The characterisation of the planet and its host star is carried out using a Bayesian approach where all the data (CoRoT photometry, radial velocities, and spectroscopic characterisation of the star) are used jointly. The Bayesian analysis includes a study whether the assumption of white normally distributed noise holds for the CoRoT photometry, and whether the use of a non-normal noise distribution offers advantages in parameter estimation and model selection. CoRoT-27b has a mass of $10.39 \pm 0.55$ $\mathrm{M}_{\rm Jup}$, a radius of $1.01 \pm 0.04$ $\mathrm{R}_{\rm Jup}$, a mean density of $12.6_{-1.67}^{+1.92}$ $\mathrm{g\,cm^{-3}}$, and an effective temperature of $1500 \pm 130$ K. The planet orbits around its host star, a 4.2 Gyr-old G2-star with a mass $M_{\star}=1.06$ $M_{\odot}$, and a radius $R_{\star}=1.05$ $R_{\odot}$, on a $0.048 \pm 0.007$ AU orbit every 3.58 days. The radial velocity observations allow us to exclude highly eccentric orbits, namely, $e<0.065$ with a 99% confidence. Given its high mass and density, theoretical modelling of CoRoT-27b is demanding. We identify two solutions with heavy element mass fractions of $0.11\pm0.08$ $\mathrm{M_{\oplus}}$ and $0.07\pm0.06$ $\mathrm{M_{\oplus}}$, but even solutions void of heavy elements cannot be excluded. We carry out a secondary eclipse search from the CoRoT photometry using a method based on Bayesian model selection, but conclude that the noise level is too high to detect eclipses shallower than 9% of the transit depth.
