description: The missing modality issue is critical but non-trivial to be solved by multi-modal models. Current methods aiming to handle the missing modality problem in multi-modal tasks, either deal with missing modalities only during evaluation or train separate models to handle specific missing modality settings. In addition, these models are designed for specific tasks, so for example, classification models are not easily adapted to segmentation tasks and vice versa. In this paper, we propose the Shared-Specific Feature Modelling (ShaSpec) method that is considerably simpler and more effective than competing approaches that address the issues above. ShaSpec is designed to take advantage of all available input modalities during training and evaluation by learning shared and specific features to better represent the input data. This is achieved from a strategy that relies on auxiliary tasks based on distribution alignment and domain classification, in addition to a residual feature fusion procedure. Also, the design simplicity of ShaSpec enables its easy adaptation to multiple tasks, such as classification and segmentation. Experiments are conducted on both medical image segmentation and computer vision classification, with results indicating that ShaSpec outperforms competing methods by a large margin. For instance, on BraTS2018, ShaSpec improves the SOTA by more than 3% for enhancing tumour, 5% for tumour core and 3% for whole tumour.

description: Detection of stress effects in crops is crucial for sustainable agriculturalpractices. Sun-induced fluorescence is a promising tool for monitoring thephotosynthetic activity of plants and crop health and has advantages overtraditional vegetation indices to be sensitive to plant changes. In this study,we use high-resolution spectral data from the Hyplant airborne sensor to detectwater stress in arable crops and compare SIF over the vegetation indices- NDVI and PRI to determine sensitivity to changes in plant environmentalconditions. We analyzed SIF variations across different crop varieties andtreatments spatially and diurnally to detect water stress among plots. Weobserved higher SIF values in the summer wheat crop compared to winterwheat and beans wheat mixture, indicating better crop health and photosyntheticactivity. Lower SIF values are associated with stress conditions. Diurnalanalysis of SIF showed that the peak values are at midday relating to lightintensity and rising temperature and decreasing in the afternoon. ComparingSIF with NDVI and PRI showed that SIF is more sensitive to plant responsesthan vegetation indices. This study highlights the potential of using SIF as atool for the detection of water stress. In future research, integrating validationdata to characterize stress in plants would be more effective in monitoring andmanagement in agriculture.

description: The relation between wetting properties and geometric parameters of fractal surfaces are widely discussed on the literature and, however, there are still divergences on this topic. Here we propose a simple theoretical model to describe the wetting properties of a droplet of water placed on a hierarchical structured surface and test the predictions of the model and the dependence of the droplet wetting state on the initial conditions using simulation of the 3-spin Potts model. We show that increasing the auto-similarity level of the hierarchy -- called $n$ -- does not affect considerably the stable wetting state of the droplet but increases its contact angle. Simulations also explicit the existence of metastable states on this type of surfaces and shows that, when $n$ increases, the metastability becomes more pronounced. Finally we show that the fractal dimension of the surface is not a good predictor of the contact angle of the droplet.

description: RESUMO
 A pesquisa em questão buscou investigar as mediações do Centro Cultural Ocupa Ouvidor 63. Ocupado em 2014, o edifício localizado na Rua do Ouvidor no 63, em São Paulo, acolhe um coletivo heterogêneo de artistas de linguagens, atuações e origens distintas que compartilham o espaço para produção e experimentação artística e social. Dessa forma, partiu-se de algumas interseções norteadoras que perpassam o universo da Ouvidor 63, sendo: os movimentos sociais e insurreições contemporâneas; a arte atuante e o artivismo como resposta estético-política; a perspectiva do direito à cidade e à cultura incitada pelas ocupações urbanas e artísticas e, assim, as relações entre essas mediações artivistas, cidade e diversidade cultural. Para tal, além do referencial teórico acerca destes cruzamentos, optou-se por uma metodologia qualitativa de base etnográfica imersiva a partir de três períodos de vivências e experiências na ocupação. ABSTRACT
 The present work intends to investigate the cultural mediations established at the Centro Cultural Ouvidor 63, a cultural center run in a squatted building located at the center of São Paulo (Brazil) since 2014. It hosts a mixed collective of artists from different origins, languages and performance styles, which share that space for creative, artistic and social experiences. In order to achieve that, this research is based on a number of guiding intersections that cross the universe of Ouvidor 63, namely: social movements and contemporary insurrections; political art and artivism as an aesthetic-political response to the established system; the perspective of the right to the city and right to the culture incited by artistic squats; and the relations between these artivist mediations, the post-modern cities and cultural diversity. Finally, besides the theoretical references about these crossings, the reseacrh takes a qualitative methodology based on an ethnographic perspective and immersive experiences in the occupation.

description: Soft composite solids are made of inclusions dispersed within soft matrices. They are ubiquitous in nature and form the basis of many biological tissues. In the field of materials science, synthetic soft composites are promising candidates for building various engineering devices due to their highly programmable features. However, when the volume fraction of the inclusions increases, predicting the mechanical properties of these materials poses a significant challenge for the classical theories of composite mechanics. The difficulty arises from the inherently disordered, multi-scale interactions between the inclusions and the matrix. To address this challenge, we systematically investigated the mechanics of densely filled soft elastomers containing stiff microspheres. We experimentally demonstrated how the strain-stiffening response of the soft composites is governed by the critical scalings in the vicinity of a shear-jamming transition of the included particles. The proposed criticality framework quantitatively connects the overall mechanics of a soft composite with the elasticity of the matrix and the particles, and captures the diverse mechanical responses observed across a wide range of material parameters. The findings uncover a novel design paradigm of composite mechanics that relies on engineering the jamming properties of the embedded inclusions.

description: Objectives: An increasing number of CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) hybrid materials have been introduced to the dental market in recent years. In addition, CAD/CAM hybrid materials for additive manufacturing (AM) are becoming more attractive in digital dentistry. Studies on material microstructures using micro-computed tomography ($μ$-CT) combined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have only been available to a limited extent so far.
 Methods: One CAD/CAM three-dimensional- (3D-) printable hybrid material (VarseoSmile Crown plus) and two CAD/CAM millable hybrid materials (Vita Enamic; Voco Grandio), as well as one direct composite material (Ceram.x duo), were included in the present study. Cylindrical samples with a diameter of 2 mm were produced from each material and investigated by means of synchrotron radiation $μ$-CT at a voxel size of 0.65 $μ$m. Different samples from the same materials, obtained by cutting and polishing, were investigated by SEM.
 Results: The 3D-printed hybrid material showed some agglomerations and a more irregular distribution of fillers, as well as a visible layered macrostructure and a few spherical pores due to the printing process. The CAD/CAM millable hybrid materials revealed a more homogenous distribution of ceramic particles. The direct composite material showed multiple air bubbles and microstructural irregularities based on manual processing.
 Significance: The $μ$-CT and SEM analysis of the materials revealed different microstructures even though they belong to the same class of materials. It could be shown that $μ$-CT and SEM imaging are valuable tools to understand microstructure and related mechanical properties of materials.

description: Between the poker hands of straight, flush, and full house, which hand is more common? In standard 5-card poker, the order from most common to least common is straight, flush, full house. The same order is true for 7-card poker such as Texas hold'em. However, is the same true for n-card poker for larger n? We study the probability of obtaining these various hands for n-card poker for various values of $n\geq 5$. In particular, we derive equations for the probability of flush, straight and full house and show that the probability of flush is less than a straight when $n\leq 11$, and is more than a straight when n>11. Similarly, we show that the probability of full house is less than a straight when $n\leq 19$, and is more than a straight when n>19. This means that for games such as Big Two where the ordering of 13-card hands depends on the ordering in 5-card poker, the ranking ordering does not follow the occurrence probability ordering, contrary to what intuition suggests.

description: The concept of antidistinguishability of quantum states has been studied to investigate foundational questions in quantum mechanics. It is also called quantum state elimination, because the goal of such a protocol is to guess which state, among finitely many chosen at random, the system is not prepared in (that is, it can be thought of as the first step in a process of elimination). Antidistinguishability has been used to investigate the reality of quantum states, ruling out $ψ$-epistemic ontological models of quantum mechanics [Pusey et al., Nat. Phys., 8(6):475-478, 2012]. Thus, due to the established importance of antidistinguishability in quantum mechanics, exploring it further is warranted.
 In this paper, we provide a comprehensive study of the optimal error exponent -- the rate at which the optimal error probability vanishes to zero asymptotically -- for classical and quantum antidistinguishability. We derive an exact expression for the optimal error exponent in the classical case and show that it is given by the multivariate classical Chernoff divergence. Our work thus provides this divergence with a meaningful operational interpretation as the optimal error exponent for antidistinguishing a set of probability measures. For the quantum case, we provide several bounds on the optimal error exponent: a lower bound given by the best pairwise Chernoff divergence of the states, a single-letter semi-definite programming upper bound, and lower and upper bounds in terms of minimal and maximal multivariate quantum Chernoff divergences. It remains an open problem to obtain an explicit expression for the optimal error exponent for quantum antidistinguishability.

description: Background The Scale of Emotional Development – Short (SED-S) captures the level of emotional development in persons with a disorder of intellectual development (DID) with 200 items on five developmental levels. The study aims to develop a brief version of the SED-S. Methods Based on item analysis (proportions, χ2-test, Spearman's ρ and corrected item–total correlation), a brief version of the SED-S was developed in a sample of 224 adults with a DID (n1) and validated in a second independent matched sample (n2 = 223). Results Item reliability ranged per item set from Cronbach's α = 0.835 to 0.924. Weighted kappa resulted in κω = 0.743 (P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval = 0.690–0.802). Overall agreement of the brief version with the original SED-S was PO = 0.7. The brief version of the SED-S showed weaknesses in distinguishing level 2 from the adjacent levels. Conclusions The brief version of the SED-S showed good reliability and moderate to good validity results. Items of phase 2 and, to some degree, of phase 5 should be revised to further improve the psychometric properties of the scale.

description: This study examines the prevalence of transparency and accountability in Brazilian National Sports Organizations. Transparency is an organization’s ability to acquire and disseminate accurate and relevant information and knowledge. Accountability refers to an organization’s duty or obligation to provide an account or explanation of their actions. Both transparency and accountability are associated with modernization and good governance. In this study, we collected annual indicators of transparency and accountability between 2015 and 2021 for 34 Brazilian National Sports Organizations. Data were analyzed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE). The three key findings of the research were as follows: (1) transparency and accountability increased over the years; (2) there was selective growth in transparency and accountability dimensions; and (3) there was stagnation for audit (AUD), an accountability indicator. These findings suggest that the modernization of Brazilian National Sports Organizations is underway, but there is still potential for improvement.

description: Wavefront shaping enables targeted delivery of coherent light into random-scattering media, such as biological tissue, by constructive interference of scattered waves. However, broadband waves have short coherence times, weakening the interference effect. Here, we introduce a broadband deposition matrix that identifies a single input wavefront that maximizes the broadband energy delivered to an extended target deep inside a diffusive system. We experimentally demonstrate that long-range spatial and spectral correlations result in a six-fold energy enhancement for targets containing more than 1500 speckle grains and located at a depth of up to ten transport mean free paths, even when the coherence time is an order of magnitude shorter than the diffusion dwell time of light in the scattering sample. In the broadband (fast decoherence) limit, enhancement of energy delivery to extended targets becomes nearly independent of the target depth and dissipation. Our experiments, numerical simulations, and analytic theory establish the fundamental limit for broadband energy delivery deep into a diffusive system, which has important consequences for practical applications.

description: The proliferation of video as a research and community development tool has raised questions about relationships of knowledge production, representation, and reception – specifically relationships between participation, technology, ethics, emotion, audience, and power. Seeking to enable empowerment through people's use of storytelling and representation through video, participatory video's emancipatory agenda has come under recent scrutiny. Researchers are exploring how the media logic of technologies shape, limit, and fix what can be represented and how processes of facilitation and group work constrain and enable different outcomes. However, indigenous media discourse, which acknowledges the highly charged intercultural dynamics and colonial continuities associated with the politics of seeing, remains overlooked in Western scholarship and international development practice. As the dissemination of participatory video products into online environments increases, more work is needed to consider the tensions between individual expression, collective action, and unequal access to digital spaces and video technologies. There is also a growing need to consider how participatory video constructs subjectivity and place through attention to institutional context, embodiment, materiality, and spatiality.

description: Gamma-ray emission in the MeV-GeV range from explosive cosmic events is of invaluable relevance to understanding physical processes related to the formation of neutron stars and black holes. Here we report on the detection by the AGILE satellite in the MeV-GeV energy range of the remarkable long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A. The AGILE onboard detectors have good exposure to GRB 221009A during its initial crucial phases. Hard X-ray/MeV emission in the prompt phase lasted hundreds of seconds, with the brightest radiation being emitted between 200 and 300 seconds after the initial trigger. Very intense GeV gamma-ray emission is detected by AGILE in the prompt and early afterglow phase up to 10,000 seconds. Time-resolved spectral analysis shows time-variable MeV-peaked emission simultaneous with intense power-law GeV radiation that persists in the afterglow phase. The coexistence during the prompt phase of very intense MeV emission together with highly nonthermal and hardening GeV radiation is a remarkable feature of GRB 221009A. During the prompt phase, the event shows spectrally different MeV and GeV emissions that are most likely generated by physical mechanisms occurring in different locations. AGILE observations provide crucial flux and spectral gamma-ray information regarding the early phases of GRB 221009A during which emission in the TeV range was reported.

description: We explored Jordanian caregivers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward asthma in their children. This cross-sectional investigation was conducted on caregivers visiting the pediatrics clinic at the Jordan University Hospital and King Abdullah University Hospital between December 2021 and January 2023. KAP were measured using a literature-validated questionnaire. Differences in KAP scores across participants’ characteristics were examined using the student-t test and ANOVA. A total of 108 caregivers were included in the final analysis. Caregivers were aged 30 to 40 years (54.6%) and had at least secondary education (90.7%). The majority of participants displayed appropriate knowledge with respect to asthma’s clinical course. Furthermore, the greater portion of caregivers were knowledgeable about preventing asthma attacks and treating their children during said attacks. Factors affecting knowledge of asthma included age of mothers (p < .05). On the other hand, attitude scores were affected by occupation, type of medication, and family history of asthma (all p < .05). Moreover, employee mothers, children well controlled on both Asthma Control Test and Global Initiative for Asthma scores, and having no pediatric intensive care unit admissions were associated with higher practice treatment scores (all p < .05). Overall practice score was weakly, yet positively correlated with knowledge scores (r = 0.195, p = .043). Similarly, negative attitudes were weakly correlated with higher knowledge scores (r = 0.199, p = .039). While the knowledge and practice scores were satisfactory, the clinical status of children with asthma was unsatisfactory. Future studies should examine factors associated with caregiver insecurity and measure their extent of applying asthma prevention guidelines.

description: During resettlement, refugee-background women often become socially and spatially immobilised with heavy domestic responsibilities, lack of language skills, and lack of access to personal transport. To empower women to navigate spatial and social dimensions of resettlement landscapes, Wellington-based non-governmental organisation ChangeMakers Refugee Forum implemented a driving initiative entitled Turning the Curve. In this article we draw upon a mixed-method evaluation of Turning the Curve to explore differences within stakeholders’ assessments of the programme’s ‘success’. Specifically, we highlight tensions around the temporalities of ‘success’; with some individuals emphasising the achievement of a license in a set timeframe, and others supporting an open-ended approach. Paying attention to these temporalities enabled us to explore relationships between citizenship practices, patience, and waiting. We argue that Turning the Curve’s curation of spatial encounters between learner drivers and driving volunteers enacts Askins’ concept of emotional citizenry, and that the programme’s disposition to patience and a quiet politics of waiting extends emotional citizenry beyond space through time. Through this disposition, more innovative forms of being together emerge and women’s rights to the city are enabled. We conclude that other resettlement efforts could learn a great deal from the emotional citizenry of Turning the Curve as a means to enhance more gender-equitable outcomes from service provision and training during refugee resettlement.

description: This study aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of mothers of school-age children with asthma in care. A phenomenological study was conducted using qualitative research methods from August 2021 to November 2021. Mothers (from Sichuan, China) of school-aged children with asthma who sought outpatient care at the pediatric asthma clinic were purposively sampled based on their occupation, education level, and duration of their child’s illness. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted in consultation room A07 of the pediatric asthma clinic. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically. 23 mothers expressed interest, but data saturation was reached after recruiting 15 mothers.Four main themes encompassing ten sub-themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Negative psychological burden, with sub-themes including anxiety shock, fear of death, guilt, and stigma. (2) Family dysfunction, with sub-themes including impaired quality of life, family emotional crisis, and heavy economic burden. (3) Difficulty in seeking medical treatment. (4) Active response, with sub-themes including emotional adjustment, family empowerment, and social support. In this sample, the caregiving experience of mothers of school-age children with asthma is diverse and complex, reflected not only in personal psychological aspects but also in family functioning and social support. Taking into account various factors, such as addressing psychological well-being, emphasizing family and social support, and promoting the sharing of positive experiences, may result in more effective alleviation of caregiving stress for mothers of school-age children with asthma.

description: We describe the classification of orthogonal arrays OA$(2048,14,2,7)$, or, equivalently, completely regular $\{14;2\}$-codes in the $14$-cube ($30848$ equivalence classes). In particular, we find that there is exactly one almost-OA$(2048,14,2,7{+}1)$, up to equivalence. As derived objects, OA$(1024,13,2,6)$ ($202917$ classes) and completely regular $\{12,2;2,12\}$- and $\{14, 12, 2; 2, 12, 14\}$-codes in the $13$- and $14$-cubes, respectively, are also classified.
 Keywords: binary orthogonal array, completely regular code, binary 1-perfect code.

description: Laser-Plasma Accelerators (LPA) exploits electric fields exceeding 100 GV/m to produce ultrashort electron bunches. These unique features open up new prospects for ultrafast-physics and the development of compact accelerators, for instance. Yet, LPAs suffer from an inferior beam quality and stability. One of the reasons for these weaknesses is a poor control of the target properties. Task 6.3 aims at developing and test targets of superior quality for extending the beam energy and improving its reliability. Here we report on Milestone MS23 which comprises the target manufacturing and characterisation.

description: We introduce and study constrained Markov Decision Processes (cMDPs) with anytime constraints. An anytime constraint requires the agent to never violate its budget at any point in time, almost surely. Although Markovian policies are no longer sufficient, we show that there exist optimal deterministic policies augmented with cumulative costs. In fact, we present a fixed-parameter tractable reduction from anytime-constrained cMDPs to unconstrained MDPs. Our reduction yields planning and learning algorithms that are time and sample-efficient for tabular cMDPs so long as the precision of the costs is logarithmic in the size of the cMDP. However, we also show that computing non-trivial approximately optimal policies is NP-hard in general. To circumvent this bottleneck, we design provable approximation algorithms that efficiently compute or learn an arbitrarily accurate approximately feasible policy with optimal value so long as the maximum supported cost is bounded by a polynomial in the cMDP or the absolute budget. Given our hardness results, our approximation guarantees are the best possible under worst-case analysis.

description: Asthma is a global health concern, especially among children, and is associated with various underlying mechanisms. Childhood exposure to early life stress and anxiety can potentially exacerbate asthma symptoms and complicate its management. While some studies have suggested the benefits of psychological therapies as adjuncts to medication in asthma management, evidence remains inconsistent, emphasizing the need for rigorous evaluation. This case-control study involved 120 children aged 5–15, with 60 children having asthma and 60 healthy controls. Asthma severity was assessed based on EPR3 guidelines, while anxiety symptoms were measured using the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS). Demographic data and asthma-related information were collected via questionnaires. Statistical analyses were conducted to explore the relationship between asthma and anxiety. Children with asthma exhibited significantly higher anxiety symptoms compared to those without asthma (p < 0.001). Subdomain analysis revealed elevated scores in separation anxiety (SA; p = 0.025), social phobia (SP; p < 0.001), agoraphobia (p = 0.004), and fears of physical injury (p < 0.001) in children with asthma. Furthermore, increased need for SABA, frequency of nocturnal symptoms, and asthma severity were associated with higher anxiety levels in pediatric asthma patients. This study highlights a significant association between asthma and heightened anxiety symptoms in children, particularly in domains, such as SA, SP, agoraphobia, and fears related to physical injury. However, limitations include reliance on self-evaluation questionnaires and the observational nature of the study, emphasizing the need for cautious interpretation.
