description: We study the Holstein-Double Exchange model in three dimensions in the presence of substitutional disorder. Using a new Monte Carlo technique we establish the phase diagram of the clean model and then focus on the effect of varying electron-phonon coupling and disorder at fixed electron density. We demonstrate how extrinsic disorder controls the interplay of lattice polaron effects and spin fluctuations and leads to widely varying regimes in transport. Our results on the disorder dependence of the ferromagnetic T_c and metal-insulator transitions bear direct comparison to data on the `optimally doped', x=0.3-0.4, manganites. We highlight disorder induced polaron formation as a key effect in these materials, organise a wide variety of data into a simple `global phase diagram', and make several experimental predictions.

description: Background: Valid and reliable tools are required to measure patient satisfaction with physical therapy care. The aim of this study was to translate the MedRisk instrument for measuring patient satisfaction with physical therapy care (MRPS) into Persian language and to evaluate its measurement properties. Methods: A cross-sectional and prospective validation study design was adopted. The development of the Persian MRPS (MRPSp) followed the standard guidelines with “forward”–“backward” translation, consensus agreement of expert panel, and pilot testing. The final MRPSp was evaluated for reliability and validity. Results: A total of 114 patients (mean age 52.14 years, 72 females) participated in this study. The patients’ satisfaction was high as reflected in the ceiling effect (25.4%). The overall Cronbach’s α was 0.91. Corrected item-total correlations ranged from 0.22 to 0.88. Principal component analysis suggested a 7-item “internal” factor (alpha = 0.95) and a 3-item “external” factor (alpha = 0.74). The correlations of factors with two global measures of satisfaction were significant ranging from 0.247 to 0.789. Individual items of MRPSp had significant positive correlations with two global measures (r = 0.233–0.736). The standard error of measurement was between 0.97 and 2.14. The smallest detectable change was between 2.7 and 5.93. Conclusion: The Persian version of the MRPS is a two-factor reliable and valid instrument for measuring patient satisfaction with physical therapy care.

description: We present the results of Monte Carlo simulations of a model of a single maghemite ferrimagnetic nanoparticle including radial surface anisotropy distinct from that in the core with the aim to clarify what is its role on the magnetization processes at low temperatures. The low temperature equilibrium states are analized and compared to those of a ferromagnetic particle with the same lattice structure. We have found that the formation of hedgehog-like structures due to increased surface anisotropy is responsible for a change in the reversal mechanism of the particles.

description: Purpose: Evaluate inter-observer reliability of trained physiotherapists administering the Chilean-Spanish version of the Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit (FSS-ICU). Methods: Six adult patients in a medical-surgical ICU were assessed and video-recorded by 1 of 2 expert physiotherapists. Twelve physiotherapists were then trained using recommended Spanish-language FSS-ICU materials. The 12 physiotherapists independently scored the FSS-ICU for the 6 video-recorded patients. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the inter-observer reliability, and modified Bland-Altman plots evaluated agreement between the physiotherapists and experts. Results: This study was performed between May and August 2018. The FSS-ICU total score had a median score of 18 (range: 6 to 34) for the 6 patients. The ICC of the total score was 0.96 (95% CI, 0.92 to 1.00), and for each of the 5 individual FSS-ICU tasks, the ICC ranged between 0.87 and 0.92. The modified Bland–Altman plot revealed a mean difference of 0.6 (95% limits of agreement: −3.3 to 4.5). Conclusions: Twelve trained physiotherapists had excellent inter-observer reliability when administering the Chilean-Spanish FSS-ICU using videos of six critically ill patients, and had excellent agreement with an expert, revealing differences within the established minimal important difference. These findings provide new data supporting clinimetric properties of the Chilean-Spanish FSS-ICU.

The role of the United States in Syrian-Israeli negotiations: 1990--present
Creators: name: Hark, Nicole Modeen
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In the last two decades, there has been little direct negotiation between Syria and Israel, marking a conflict that remains rooted in and stagnated by distrust and conflicting claims to territory. Today's conventional wisdom suggests that Syrian-Israeli peace talks are ongoing, but there is little concrete evidence that supports that position. In preparation for peace talks, it is important to review the progress and stumbling blocks of previous Syrian-Israeli negotiations, and determine what new strategies, if any, can be employed in the future. Since the United States has served as the leading communication facilitator between Syria and Israel, this paper focuses on the U.S.'s role as a mediator and makes recommendation for its future mediation efforts. Through an analysis of the core concepts of mediation theory, it provides an overall framework and definition of mediation, and hones in on key characteristics of the ideal mediator: impartiality, status and leverage. This paper adds a thorough overview of the history of both the conflict itself, and U.S. mediation efforts from 1990 to the present. This allows for a better understanding of the positions and interests of each party, and sheds light on the challenges to identifying a ripe moment for intervention. Finally, in reviewing the many roles and strategies that can be utilized by a mediator, it is clear that American mediation efforts would benefit from: (1) utilizing leverage to a greater degree, (2) being more purposeful in the management and facilitation of talks, and (3) increasing the communication among all parties with regard to the framework and vision of future Syrian-Israeli negotiations.
Abstraction, Up-to Techniques and Games for Systems of Fixpoint Equations

description: Systems of fixpoint equations over complete lattices, consisting of (mixed) least and greatest fixpoint equations, allow one to express a number of verification tasks such as model-checking of various kinds of specification logics or the check of coinductive behavioural equivalences. In this paper we develop a theory of approximation for systems of fixpoint equations in the style of abstract interpretation: a system over some concrete domain is abstracted to a system in a suitable abstract domain, with conditions ensuring that the abstract solution represents a sound/complete overapproximation of the concrete solution. Interestingly, up-to techniques, a classical approach used in coinductive settings to obtain easier or feasible proofs, can be interpreted as abstractions in a way that they naturally fit in our framework and extend to systems of equations. Additionally, relying on the approximation theory, we can provide a characterisation of the solution of systems of fixpoint equations over complete lattices in terms of a suitable parity game, generalising some recent work that was restricted to continuous lattices. The game view opens the way to the development of on-the-fly algorithms for characterising the solution of such equation systems.
Examining the effect of ego-resiliency on perceived stress and quality of life for African American adults: A cultural stress resistance model
Creators: name: Holmes, Kasaan E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study utilized stress resistance theory to investigate cultural model of the stress process; specifically investigating the impact of ego-resilience, ethnic identity and religious coping on perceived stress and quality of life testing a mediated moderator model. Research suggests that ego-resilience, ethnic identity, and religious coping serve as stress-buffering variables. However, this study examined religious coping and ethnic identity as moderators. 108 final African Americans participants completed the Ego-resilience Scale (ER89). Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Brief Version (WHOQOL-Brief), Multi-Ethnic Identity Measure (MEIM), and a Religious Coping Measure. Findings did not support a moderated mediator model because evidence that ethnic identity and religious coping moderated the relationship between ego-resilience and overall life quality of life was not met. However, this study found evidence for simple mediation, with ego-resilience predicted life quality as mediated through perceived stress.

description: We present results on the self-energy correction to the energy levels of hydrogen and hydrogenlike ions. The self energy represents the largest QED correction to the relativistic (Dirac-Coulomb) energy of a bound electron. We focus on the perturbation expansion of the self energy of non-S states, and provide estimates of the so-called A60 perturbative coefficient, which can be considered as a relativistic Bethe logarithm. Precise values of A60 are given for many P, D, F and G states, while estimates are given for other electronic states. These results can be used in high-precision spectroscopy experiments in hydrogen and hydrogenlike ions. They yield the best available estimate of the self-energy correction of many atomic states.

description: Direct numerical simulations are carried out to study flow structure and transport properties in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cylindrical cell of aspect ratio one with an imposed axial magnetic field. Flows at the Prandtl number 0.025 and the Rayleigh and Hartmann numbers up to $10^9$ and 1400 are considered. The results are consistent with those of earlier experimental and numerical data. As anticipated, the heat transfer rate and kinetic energy are suppressed by strong magnetic field. At the same time, their growth with the Rayleigh number is found to be faster in flows at high Hartmann numbers. This behaviour is attributed to the newly discovered flow regime characterized by prominent quasi two-dimensional structures reminiscent of vortex sheets observed earlier in simulations of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. Rotating wall modes similar to those in the Rayleigh-Bénard convection with rotation are found in flows near the Chandrasekhar linear stability limit. Detailed analysis of the spatial structure of the flows and its effect of global transport properties is reported.

description: Introduction: Integrating web-based or mobile components and face-to-face components within a treatment process is called blended care. As part of the participatory development of a blended physiotherapeutic intervention for patients with low back pain (e-Exercise LBP), a proof of concept study was carried out and showed promising results. Objective: To investigate the feasibility of the e-Exercise LBP prototype for patients and physiotherapists to improve the intervention. Methods: A mixed methods study was executed, embedded in the development phase of e-Exercise LBP. 21 physiotherapists treated 41 patients with e-Exercise LBP. Quantitative data consisted of: patients’ satisfaction on a five-point Likert Scale; patients’ and physiotherapists’ experienced usability of the web-based application (System Usability Scale) and; patients’ experiences with e-Exercise LBP (closed-ended questions and statements related to the elements and goals of e-Exercise LBP). Semi-structured interviews about experiences with e-Exercise LBP were conducted with seven patients and seven physiotherapists. Qualitative data were analyzed by a phenomenological approach. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Results: Patients were satisfied with e-Exercise LBP (mean: 4.0; SD:0.8; range: extreme dissatisfaction (1)-extreme satisfaction (5)). Usability of the web-based application was acceptable (patients: mean: 73.2 (SD:16.3); physiotherapists: mean: 63.3 (SD:12.0); range: 0–100). Interviews revealed that physiotherapists’ training is essential to successfully integrate the web-based application and face-to-face sessions within physiotherapy treatment. Also, patients addressed the need of reminder messages to support long-term (exercise) adherence. Conclusion: e-Exercise LBP appeared to be feasible. However, various prerequisites and points of improvement were mentioned to improve physiotherapists’ training and the prototype.

description: Multiobjective optimization is a hot topic in the artificial intelligence and operations research communities. The design and development of multiobjective methods is a frequent task for researchers and practitioners. As a result of this vibrant activity, a myriad of techniques have been proposed in the literature to date, demonstrating a significant effectiveness for dealing with situations coming from a wide range of real-world areas. This paper is focused on a multiobjective problem related to optimizing Infrastructure-as-Code deployment configurations. The system implemented for solving this problem has been coined as IaC Optimizer Platform (IOP). Despite the fact that a prototypical version of the IOP has been introduced in the literature before, a deeper analysis focused on the resolution of the problem is needed, in order to determine which is the most appropriate multiobjective method for embedding in the IOP. The main motivation behind the analysis conducted in this work is to enhance the IOP performance as much as possible. This is a crucial aspect of this system, deeming that it will be deployed in a real environment, as it is being developed as part of a H2020 European project. Going deeper, we resort in this paper to nine different evolutionary computation-based multiobjective algorithms. For assessing the quality of the considered solvers, 12 different problem instances have been generated based on real-world settings. Results obtained by each method after 10 independent runs have been compared using Friedman's non-parametric tests. Findings reached from the tests carried out lad to the creation of a multi-algorithm system, capable of applying different techniques according to the user's needs.

description: This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the stellar content in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 by comparing stellar evolution models and observations in color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and color-color diagrams (CC-Ds). Our analysis is based on optical ground-based g,r,i photometry, and deep archive HST photometry of two fields in the galaxy disk. We compared young, intermediate-age, and old stellar populations with isochrones from the BaSTI-IAC library and found that NGC 6822 hosts a quite metal-rich ([Fe/H] = -0.7 to -0.4) young component with an age ranging from 20 to 100 Myr. The intermediate-age population experienced a modest chemical enrichment between 4 and 8 Gyr ago while stars older than 11 Gyr have a low metal abundance ([Fe/H] ~ -1.70). We also identified the AGB clump population with a luminosity peak at i ~ 23.35 mag. Our analysis of both the CMD and the optical-NIR-MIR CC-Ds of AGB oxygen- and carbon-rich stars, using the PARSEC+COLIBRI isochrones with and without circumstellar dust, reveal that this stellar component exhibits a spread in age from 1 to 2 Gyr and in metallicity between [Fe/H]=-1.30 and -1.70. The stellar models we used reproduce very well the two distinct color sequences defined by AGB O- and C-rich stars in the various optical-NIR-MIR CC-Ds, suggesting that they are reliable diagnostics to identify and characterise intermediate-age stellar populations. However, we also find that evolutionary prescriptions in the optical i-(r-i) CMDs predict, at fixed color, systematically lower luminosities than observed AGB stars.

description: When exposed to emotionally-arousing information, the stress system, or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, releases the hormone cortisol, which binds to receptors in brain regions important for emotional processing and decision-making. Evidence exists that HPA-axis manipulation affects memory for emotional items, but not facial expression recognition. Few studies have been conducted on HPA-axis manipulation during decision-making under risk. This study aimed to understand these effects in healthy men and women by administering a high or low dose of hydrocortisone (synthetic cortisol) during one session and a placebo during another session prior to performing a computerized facial emotion recognition task, the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Accuracy 2, and a decision-making task, the Cambridge Gambling Task. Results indicate facial emotion recognition and decision-making performance was not significantly influenced by hydrocortisone infusion. However, interesting trends were noted for facial emotion recognition and decision-making under conditions of high physiological stress.

description: Integrating web-based or mobile components and face-to-face components within a treatment process is called blended care. As part of the participatory development of a blended physiotherapeutic intervention for patients with low back pain (e-Exercise LBP), a proof of concept study was carried out and showed promising results. To investigate the feasibility of the e-Exercise LBP prototype for patients and physiotherapists to improve the intervention. A mixed methods study was executed, embedded in the development phase of e-Exercise LBP. 21 physiotherapists treated 41 patients with e-Exercise LBP. Quantitative data consisted of: patients’ satisfaction on a five-point Likert Scale; patients’ and physiotherapists’ experienced usability of the web-based application (System Usability Scale) and; patients’ experiences with e-Exercise LBP (closed-ended questions and statements related to the elements and goals of e-Exercise LBP). Semi-structured interviews about experiences with e-Exercise LBP were conducted with seven patients and seven physiotherapists. Qualitative data were analyzed by a phenomenological approach. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Patients were satisfied with e-Exercise LBP (mean: 4.0; SD:0.8; range: extreme dissatisfaction (1)-extreme satisfaction (5)). Usability of the web-based application was acceptable (patients: mean: 73.2 (SD:16.3); physiotherapists: mean: 63.3 (SD:12.0); range: 0–100). Interviews revealed that physiotherapists’ training is essential to successfully integrate the web-based application and face-to-face sessions within physiotherapy treatment. Also, patients addressed the need of reminder messages to support long-term (exercise) adherence. e-Exercise LBP appeared to be feasible. However, various prerequisites and points of improvement were mentioned to improve physiotherapists’ training and the prototype.

Hemilocrinitus

description: Hemilocrinitus gen. nov.
 Etimologia. Latim, crinitus = com cabelos longos, alusivo à franja dos antenômeros.
 Espécie-tipo, Hemilocrinitus barbatus sp. nov.
Fronte dos machos sem projeções. Tubérculos anteníferos projetados e próximos. Lobos oculares superiores mais distantes entre si do que a largura de um lobo. Antenas com onze artículos. Escapo cilíndrico tão longo quanto o antenômero III. Antenômeros III e IV com franja interna de pêlos longos. Antenômero III com comprimento subigual ao do escapo e apenas mais longo do que o IV. Protórax tronco-cônico, com gibosidade lateral muito discreta. Pronoto sem tubérculos. Élitros longos, com única carena manifesta, que quase atinge o ápice; lados leve e gradualmente expandidos na metade apical. Úmeros não projetados. Extremidades elitrais arredondadas. Metasterno com sulco longitudinal profundo. Pernas curtas; ápices dos metafêmures atingem o meio do urosternito III. Trocanteres normais.
 Discussão. Antenômeros III e IV com franja densa e élitros com única carena tornam Hemilocrinitus semelhante aos gêneros: Arixiuna Martins & Galileo, 1992 e Cuicirama Martins & Galileo, 1992. Distinguese de Cuicirama pela franja de pêlos dos antenômeros III e IV com o mesmo comprimento; pelo antenômero III tão longo quanto o escapo; pelas antenas mais curtas que o corpo e pelos tubérculos anteníferos próximos e projetados. Em Cuicirama a franja de pêlos do antenômero IV é mais longa que a do III; antenômero III mais longo que o escapo; as antenas são mais longas que o corpo e os tubérculos anteníferos são distantes e não projetados.
 Difere de Arixiuna pela ausência de costas no dorso dos élitros; pelos tubérculos anteníferos próximos e projetados e pelos élitros levemente expandidos na metade apical. Em Arixiuna os élitros apresentam costas dorsais; os tubérculos anteníferos são distantes e não projetados e os élitros são pouco expandidos para o ápice [menos em A. varians (Bates, 1881)].

description: Following earlier ideas of Dolgov, we show that the asymmetrical dynamical evolution of fields in the early Universe provides a new source for CP violation. This can lead to baryogenesis without any additional CP-violating interactions. The magnitude of this CP violation is time-dependent. In particular, it vanishes (or is very small) in the late Universe after the fields have relaxed (or are in their final approach) to their vacuum values. We provide an explicit example in which our mechanism is realized.

description: Cohesion is one of the core goals of European integration. In 2004 and 2007, the EU welcomed twelve new members which added their agricultural sectors to the EU’s single market. Especially their dairy sectors showed substantial competitive disparities to old Member states. We therefore examine structural convergence in farm-gate milk prices, productivity and farm income across EU’s regional dairy sectors since 2004. We find that price dispersion decreased from 2004-2007. Kernel density plots and Markov chain estimates show that there was a high probability for regions to stay in the lower income- and productivity classes.

description: Observations of the molecular gas phase in quasar host galaxies provide fundamental constraints on galaxy evolution at the highest redshifts. Molecular gas is the material out of which stars form; it can be traced by spectral line emission of carbon--monoxide (CO). To date, CO emission has been detected in more than a dozen quasar host galaxies with redshifts (z) larger 2, the record holder being at z=4.69. At these distances the CO lines are shifted to longer wavelengths, enabling their observation with sensitive radio and millimetre interferometers. Here we present the discovery of CO emission toward the quasar SDSS J114816.64+525150.3 (hereafter J1148+5251) at a redshift of z=6.42, when the universe was only 1/16 of its present age. This is the first detection of molecular gas at the end of cosmic reionization. The presence of large amounts of molecular gas (M(H_2)=2.2e10 M_sun) in an object at this time demonstrates that heavy element enriched molecular gas can be generated rapidly in the earliest galaxies.

description: We study the false vacuum decay and bubble nucleation in the presence of a cosmic string in dS spacetime. A cosmic string induces a deficit angle in spacetime around itself so the nucleated bubble has the shape of a rugby ball. Working in thin wall approximation and using the junction conditions we study the dynamics of the bubble wall and calculate the Euclidean action. An interesting feature in our analysis is that the tension of the string is screened by the bubble such that an observer inside the bubble measures a different value of the tension than an outside observer. We show that the string can act as a catalyzer in which the nucleation rate is enhanced compared to the Coleman-de Luccia instanton. However, in general, the nucleation rate is not a monotonic function of the difference between the two tensions so in some regions of the parameters space the nucleation rate may be smaller than the Coleman-de Luccia bubble.
