description: An idea has swept across the pages of recent news reports, and what an enriching addition to the daily fare of facts and opinion. The idea comes from Francis Fukuyama, a State Department official, in an essay called "The End of History?" It was published in the National Interest last summer, and it holds that the great ideological war of this century, the war of ideas between communism and democracy, has been won by Western liberal democracy. Therefore, he writes, history, as Hegel defined it, is over.

description: This paper examines the returns to math courses relative to those in courses in other subjects for students who started their postsecondary education at community college. The limited available evidence presumes that college-level math is valuable in the labor market relative to other coursework. Using data on college transcript and earnings from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002, I estimate the relative effects of college-level math on attainment and earnings in early adulthood. I find clear attainment effects: college-level math is more strongly associated with receiving a college award than is college-level coursework in other disciplines. However, when controlling for attainment, there is little evidence that math courses are associated with increased earnings. The overall effect of math coursework on earnings is therefore modestly positive or close to zero. I also find that high school math and college-level math are positively correlated: failure to control for college-level math leads to an upward bias in estimating the effects of high school math on earnings. Finally, it is worth noting that, given high student transfer rates, it is important to have transcript information for all colleges attended by a given student when conducting this kind of analysis. The amount of college-level math coursework completed by community college students is almost doubled in the current study when accounting for math courses at all colleges attended by each student.

description: We report a direct measurement of the Q-value of the neutrinoless double-beta-decay candidate 48Ca at the TITAN Penning-trap mass spectrometer, with the result that Q = 4267.98(32) keV. We measured the masses of both the mother and daughter nuclides, and in the latter case found a 1 keV deviation from the literature value. In addition to the Q-value, we also present results of a new calculation of the neutrinoless double-beta-decay nuclear matrix element of 48Ca. Using diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory to second order to account for physics outside the valence space, we constructed an effective shell-model double-beta-decay operator, which increased the nuclear matrix element by about 75% compared with that produced by the bare operator. The new Q-value and matrix element strengthen the case for a 48Ca double-beta-decay experiment.

description: Decision trees are popular classification models, providing high accuracy and intuitive explanations. However, as the tree size grows the model interpretability deteriorates. Traditional tree-induction algorithms, such as C4.5 and CART, rely on impurity-reduction functions that promote the discriminative power of each split. Thus, although these traditional methods are accurate in practice, there has been no theoretical guarantee that they will produce small trees. In this paper, we justify the use of a general family of impurity functions, including the popular functions of entropy and Gini-index, in scenarios where small trees are desirable, by showing that a simple enhancement can equip them with complexity guarantees. We consider a general setting, where objects to be classified are drawn from an arbitrary probability distribution, classification can be binary or multi-class, and splitting tests are associated with non-uniform costs. As a measure of tree complexity, we adopt the expected cost to classify an object drawn from the input distribution, which, in the uniform-cost case, is the expected number of tests. We propose a tree-induction algorithm that gives a logarithmic approximation guarantee on the tree complexity. This approximation factor is tight up to a constant factor under mild assumptions. The algorithm recursively selects a test that maximizes a greedy criterion defined as a weighted sum of three components. The first two components encourage the selection of tests that improve the balance and the cost-efficiency of the tree, respectively, while the third impurity-reduction component encourages the selection of more discriminative tests. As shown in our empirical evaluation, compared to the original heuristics, the enhanced algorithms strike an excellent balance between predictive accuracy and tree complexity.

description: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CBT-i in patients with fibromyalgia in comparison with other non-pharmacological treatments. Randomized controlled trials assessing the effects of CBT-i in adults with fibromyalgia, published in English or Spanish, were eligible. Electronic searches were performed using PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, WebOfKnowledge and Psicodoc databases in March 2021. The main outcome measures were sleep efficiency and sleep quality. Secondary outcomes included pain, depression, and anxiety. Of 226 studies reviewed, five were included in the meta-analysis. CBT-i compared with non-pharmacological treatments showed no significant improvements in sleep efficiency (p = 0.05; standardized mean difference (SMD) [95% CI] 0.31 [−0.00 to 0.61]). CBT-i showed significant improvements in sleep quality (p = 0.009; SMD [95% CI] − 0.53 [−0.93 to −0.13]), pain (p = 0.002; SMD [95% CI] − 0.41 [−0.67 to −0.16]), anxiety (p = 0.001; SMD [95% CI] − 0.46 [−0.74 to 0.18]) and depression (p = 0.02; SMD [95% CI] − 0.33 [−0.61 to −0.05]), compared to non-pharmacological treatments. Effect sizes ranged from small to moderate. CBT-i was associated with a significant improvement in sleep quality, pain, anxiety, and depression, although these results are retrieved from very few studies with only very low to low quality evidence. Trial registration: The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (Record ID = CRD42016030161).IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCBT-i has been proven to improve sleep quality, pain, anxiety and depression, although with small effect sizes.Implementing hybrid CBT for pain and sleep or combining CBT and mindfulness may improve symptoms in people diagnosed with FM.This meta-analysis results highlight the need to enhance sleep management skills among people suffering from this health condition.

description: We study the normal (non-superconducting) phase of attractive Hubbard model within dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) using numerical renormalization group (NRG) as impurity solver. Wide range of attractive potentials $U$ is considered, from the weak-coupling limit, where superconducting instability is well described by BCS approximation, up to the strong-coupling region, where superconducting transition is described by Bose-condensation of compact Cooper pairs, which are formed at temperatures much exceeding superconducting transition temperature. We calculate density of states, spectral density and optical conductivity in the normal phase for this wide range of $U$, including the disorder effects. Also we present the results on superconducting instability of the normal state dependence on the attraction strength $U$ and the degree of disorder. Disorder influence on the critical temperature $T_c$ is rather weak, suggesting in fact the validity of Anderson theorem, with the account of the general widening of the conduction band due to disorder.

description: The assembly of colloidal particles at liquid/liquid or air/liquid interfaces is a versatile procedure to create microstructured monolayers and study their behavior under compression. When combined with soft and deformable particles such as microgels, compression is used to tune not only the interparticle distance but also the underlying microstructure of the monolayer. So far, the great majority of studies on microgel-laden interfaces is conducted ex situ after transfer to solid substrates, for example, via Langmuir-Blodgett deposition. This type of analysis relies on the stringent assumption that the microstructure is conserved during transfer and subsequent drying. In this work, we couple a Langmuir trough to a custom-built small-angle light scattering setup to monitor colloidal monolayers in situ during compression. By comparing the results with ex situ and in situ microscopy measurements, we conclude that Langmuir-Blodgett deposition can alter the structural properties of the colloidal monolayers significantly.

description: Relationships between community colleges and the public workforce system might have an important role in promoting students’ success in the labor market and in college. In particular, the co-location of American Job Centers (AJC) on community college campuses is a particularly strong form of relationship that might benefit students. Yet little is known about the impact of co-located AJCs on students.

This study examines student outcomes at six community colleges in North Carolina that had co-located AJCs on their campuses. Exploiting the variation in the timing of the co-location, the study uses a difference-in-differences approach to estimate the impact of AJC co-location on students’ credential completion, employment, and earnings. After three years, AJC co-location had a negative relationship with completion and employment and no relationship with earnings for the overall sample. Where five-year outcomes were available for a subset of students, there was no relationship between AJC co-location and completion, employment, or earnings. For students who completed a credential, the presence of a co-located AJC had no relationship to employment or earnings outcomes. This analysis does not support the notion that AJC co-location improves student outcomes; however, additional analyses are needed where more data are available to fully assess the effect of co-location.
Phase-dependent spectral control of pulsed modulation instability via dichromatic seed fields

description: We investigated experimentally and numerically the spectral control of modulation instability (MI) dynamics via the initial phase relation of two weak seed fields. Specifically, we show how second-order modulation instability dynamics exhibit phase-dependent anti-correlated growth rates of adjacent spectral sidebands. This effect enables a novel method to control MI-based frequency conversion: in contrast to first-order MI dynamics, which exhibit a uniform phase dependence of the growth rates, second-order MI dynamics allow to redistribute the spectral energy, leading to an asymmetric spectrum. Therefore, the presented findings should be very attractive to different applications, such as phase-sensitive amplification or supercontinuum generation initiated by MI.

description: Recently, salient object detection (SOD) methods have achieved impressive performance. However, salient regions predicted by existing methods usually contain unsaturated regions and shadows, which limits the model for reliable fine-grained predictions. To address this, we introduce the uncertainty guidance learning approach to SOD, intended to enhance the model's perception of uncertain regions. Specifically, we design a novel Uncertainty Guided Refinement Attention Network (UGRAN), which incorporates three important components, i.e., the Multilevel Interaction Attention (MIA) module, the Scale Spatial-Consistent Attention (SSCA) module, and the Uncertainty Refinement Attention (URA) module. Unlike conventional methods dedicated to enhancing features, the proposed MIA facilitates the interaction and perception of multilevel features, leveraging the complementary characteristics among multilevel features. Then, through the proposed SSCA, the salient information across diverse scales within the aggregated features can be integrated more comprehensively and integrally. In the subsequent steps, we utilize the uncertainty map generated from the saliency prediction map to enhance the model's perception capability of uncertain regions, generating a highly-saturated fine-grained saliency prediction map. Additionally, we devise an adaptive dynamic partition (ADP) mechanism to minimize the computational overhead of the URA module and improve the utilization of uncertainty guidance. Experiments on seven benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed UGRAN over the state-of-the-art methodologies. Codes will be released at https://github.com/I2-Multimedia-Lab/UGRAN.

Flat band induced room temperature ferromagnetism in two dimensional systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The remarkable and fascinating properties of two-dimensional materials have raised them to the rank of most promising candidates for technological applications. In particular, the possibility of long-range ferromagnetic order in 2D materials is generating a growing excitement. Here, we demonstrate that flat bands (FBs) may pave the way to room temperature ferromagnetism in 2D compounds. Indeed, the magnetic exchanges between localized spins are largely dominated by the FB-FB contribution. This contribution is ferromagnetic and scales linearly with the local coupling, thus leading to cross-over temperatures (ferromagnetic phase/ paramagnetic phase) higher by an order of magnitude than those currently reported in experiments. Cross-over temperatures as high as $600~ K$ could be reached in micrometer-sized FB systems.

description: We estimate double sums $$ S_χ(a, I, G) = \sum_{x \in I} \sum_{λ\in G} χ(x + aλ), \qquad 1\le a < p-1, $$ with a multiplicative character $χ$ modulo $p$ where $I= \{1,\ldots, H\}$ and $G$ is a subgroup of order $T$ of the multiplicative group of the finite field of $p$ elements. A nontrivial upper bound on $S_χ(a, I, G)$ can be derived from the Burgess bound if $H \ge p^{1/4+\varepsilon}$ and from some standard elementary arguments if $T \ge p^{1/2+\varepsilon}$, where $\varepsilon>0$ is arbitrary. We obtain a nontrivial estimate in a wider range of parameters $H$ and $T$. We also estimate double sums $$ T_χ(a, G) = \sum_{λ, μ\in G} χ(a + λ+ μ), \qquad 1\le a < p-1, $$ and give an application to primitive roots modulo $p$ with $3$ non-zero binary digits.

description: In this article, we want to check four inflation models, such as composite NJL inflation (NJLI), Glueball inflation(GI), super Yang-Mills inflation (SYMI), and Orientifold inflation (OI), with two conjectures of the swampland program: scalar weak gravity conjecture (SWGC) and strong scalar weak gravity conjecture (SSWGC) since all these models violate the dS swampland conjecture(DSC) but are compatible with further refining de Sitter swampland conjecture (FRDSSC) through manual adjustment of free parameters of the mentioned conjecture. We want to study the simultaneous compatibility of each model with these two new conjectures. Despite being consistent with (FRDSSC), we find that all models are not compatible with the other conjectures of the Swampland program in all regions, and these conjectures are only satisfied in a specific area. Also, due to the presence of constant parameter $(ϕ_{0})$ in the higher orders derivatives, the (SYMI) and (OI) among all the models are more compatible with all conjectures of the swampland program. These models can provide a more significant amount of satisfaction with all of them. They can be suitable and accurate inflation models for a more profound examination of universe developments. We determined a particular region for these models is compatible with (FRDSSC), (SWGC), and (SSWGC) simultaneously

description: Neutrino experiments often use large volumes of water, organic scintillators or noble liquids as active detection material. Due to the large hydrostatic and buoyancy forces involved, precise knowledge of the liquid levels inside the detector tank are mandatory. Here we present the main characteristics of the TruSense S310 Laser Range System. Level measurements can be performed without direct contact to the liquid and through a gas-proof acrylic window, thus preserving the strict radiopurity and chemical requirements of the target liquid. We report the results of a suit of laboratory experiments for short-term precision tests ($\pm$5\,mm) and long-term stability studies. Moreover, we demonstrate that the infrared laser can be used while standard bi-alkali PMTs are operational. We discuss the mechanical layout and integration of the system in the OSIRIS pre-detector that will monitor the radiopurity of the liquid scintillator for the large-volume neutrino experiment JUNO.

description: Of all the dragons, temptations and trials that a hero must face on his perilous path through life, none has become more challenging than the encounter with a biographer. So it is a relief to travel between the hard covers of a biography of a modern American hero and return from the journey with the hero and the ideals that inspired him, and us, still intact. Edward R. Murrow is a man whose name has become a synonym for quality, courage and integrity in broadcast journalism and whose life was the enactment, and in some ways the fulfillment, of the broadcast journalist's dream. If one is curious to find out what makes some people stand out above the rest, what makes a person a hero, the story is in "Edward R. Murrow: An American Original." Murrow had talent, drive, intelligence, personality and vision. Add to those qualities the power of his good looks - that piercing gaze, those heavy, furrowed brows and that voice that seemed to resound from some inner sanctum. In sum, he added up to more than most of us.

description: This report discusses the findings and recommendations of the ADORE project, which focuses on integrating accessibility training into the curricula of higher education programmes, specifically in the field of communication studies. The report presents the culmination of the project's efforts by connecting to its five Intellectual Outputs (IOs). The report outlines the creation of six distinct itineraries, each tailored to different professional profiles within the communication sciences field. This approach aims to introduce accessibility and digital accessibility concepts by starting with content that is most relevant to the competencies, interests, and future career development goals of each profile. Additionally, the report highlights the importance of accessibility and digital accessibility across eleven different disciplines within communication sciences, spanning from media ethics and journalism to media audiences and crisis communication. The report concludes by presenting a series of policy proposals designed for higher education institutions and policymakers. These proposals are intended to guide and support the inclusion of accessibility training in communication sciences programs. In this executive summary, we provide a concise overview of the objectives and outcomes of the first four Intellectual Outputs. Furthermore, we summarize the six professional profiles-based itineraries, outline core policy recommendations, and offer a brief insight into how accessibility training can be integrated into different professional profiles. To conclude, the report underscores the overarching significance of accessibility and digital accessibility within the realm of communication sciences and how it aligns with the curricula of bachelor's and master's programs in communication sciences at higher education institutions.

description: This paper investigates a new class of regular black hole solutions in (2 + 1)-dimensions by introducing a generalization of the quasi-localized matter model proposed by Estrada and Tello-Ortiz. Initially, we try to physically interpret the matter source encoded in the energy-momentum tensor as originating from nonlinear electrodynamics. We show, however, that the required conditions for the quasi-locality of the energy density are incompatible with the expected behavior of nonlinear electrodynamics, which must tend to Maxwell's theory on the asymptotic limit. Despite this, we propose a generalization for the quasi-localized energy density that encompasses the existing models in the literature and allows us to obtain a class of regular black hole solutions exhibiting remarkable features on the event horizons and their thermodynamic properties. Furthermore, since the usual version of the first law of thermodynamics, due to the presence of the matter fields, leads to incorrect values of entropy and thermodynamics volume for regular black holes, we propose a new version of the first law for regular black holes.

In this proceedings, we study the effects of the numerical boundary conditions at the stellar surface, where the stellar wind is driven, and in the planetary interior. We show that is it possible to design boundary conditions that are adequate to obtain physically realistic, steady-state solutions for cases with both magnetized and unmagnetized planets. This encourages further development of numerical studies, in order to better constrain and understand SPMIs, as well as their effects on the star-planet rotational evolution.

Within this corner, we realize manifestly SL(2,Z)-invariant (p,q)-string actions. The construction of these actions imposes a branching between strings of opposite charges associated with the two-form fields. The branch point is determined by these charges and the axion background field. Both branches must be incorporated in order to realize the full SL(2,Z) group. Besides these string actions, we also construct D-instanton and D3-brane actions that manifestly realize the branched SL(2,Z) symmetry.

description: Abstract

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is responsible for 70-90% of primary liver cancer cases. This study aimed to evaluate the role of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and hepatitis B virus x protein (HBx) on the development of HCC in patient groups with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the Cukurova region located in the subtropical climate zone of Turkey.

Methods: Blood, urine, and liver biopsy samples were collected from 38 HBsAg positive HCC patients and 21 HBsAg positive patients without HCC as a control group. The presence of the G>T mutation at codon 249 of the TP53 gene was investigated by PCR-RFLP and sequencing. Simultaneously, urinary aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) levels were measured by ELISA.

Results: As a result, target mutation was detected as 18.4% and 9.5% in HCC biopsy samples and control group with both methods (p= 0.666), respectively. Two patients who were found to have TP53 gene mutations in the control group were diagnosed with cirrhosis. The mean AFM1 concentration of the patient and control groups was 272.5 ± 106.90 pg/mL and 160 ± 73.89 pg/mL respectively. In the HBsAg/HCC patient group, both AFM1 levels and TP53 mutations were higher than in the control group.

Conclusions: It has been found that the association between chronic HBV infection and AFB1 exposure to be an important risk for HCC development. The frequency of mutation due to AFB1 exposure is high in HCC patients, but also seen in the control group. Also, AFM1 levels in patients with HCC similar to the control group due to the consumption of aflatoxin-containing foods. The risk of carcinoma development should be investigated considering other environmental and host factors.

description: The effects of neutron irradiation on materials are often interpreted in terms of atomic recoils, initiated by neutron impacts and producing crystal lattice defects. In addition, there is a remarkable two-step process, strongly pronounced in the medium-weight and heavy elements. This process involves the generation of energetic γ photons in nonelastic collisions of neutrons with atomic nuclei, achieved via capture and inelastic reactions. Subsequently, high-energy electrons are excited through the scattering of γ photons by the atomic electrons. We derive and validate equations enabling a fast and robust evaluation of photon and electron fluxes produced by the neutrons in the bulk of materials. The two-step n-γ-e scattering creates a nonequilibrium dynamically fluctuating steady-state population of high-energy electrons, with the spectra of photon and electron energies extending well into the mega-electron-volt range. This stimulates vacancy diffusion through electron-triggered atomic recoils, primarily involving vacancy-impurity dissociation, even if thermal activation is ineffective. Tungsten converts the energy of fusion or fission neutrons into a flux of γ radiation at the conversion efficiency approaching 99%, with implications for structural materials, superconductors, and insulators, as well as phenomena like corrosion, and helium and hydrogen isotope retention.

description: We propose a new algorithm for simulating noncommutative phi-four theory on the fuzzy sphere based on, i) coupling the scalar field to a U(1) gauge field, in such a way that in the commutative limit N\longrightarrow \infty, the two modes decouple and we are left with pure scalar phi-four on the sphere, and ii) diagonalizing the scalar field by means of a U(N) unitary matrix, and then integrating out the unitary group from the partition function. The number of degrees of freedom in the scalar sector reduces, therefore, from N^2 to the N eigenvalues of the scalar field, whereas the dynamics of the U(1) gauge field, is given by D=3 Yang-Mills matrix model with a Myers term. As an application, the phase diagram, including the triple point, of noncommutative phi-four theory on the fuzzy sphere, is reconstructed with small values of N up to N=10, and large numbers of statistics.

description: GRB 220627A, detected by Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), shows two episodes of gamma-ray emission, which are separated by a {$\sim$700} s long quiescent phase. Due to similar temporal shapes and spectra in the two episodes, GRB 220627A is speculated to be a gravitationally lensed gamma-ray burst (GRB). We analyze the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data and find that about 49 gamma-ray photons above 100 MeV come from the GRB during the first episode, while there are no photons above 100 MeV in the second episode. Based on the broadband spectral study of the two episodes, the gravitationally lensing scenario can be ruled out at a high confidence level and we thus conclude that GRB 220627A is an intrinsically ultralong GRB with the prompt burst emission lasting longer than 1000 s. It is then the first case that GeV emission is detected from an ultralong GRB. We find that a short spike seen in the LAT light curve is also present in GBM detectors that see the burst, suggesting a common internal region of emission across the entire Fermi energy range. The detection of a 15.7 GeV photon during the early prompt phase places a lower limit of $Γ\ge300$ on the bulk Lorentz factor of the GRB ejecta. The constraint on the bulk Lorentz factor could shed light on the origin of ultralong GRBs.

description: To investigate the efficacy of a tailored counselling intervention for injured workers regarding different aspects of subjective well-being. Prospective randomized controlled trial with 192 mildly-to-moderately injured workers who were on sick leave for at least 18 weeks and showed a high-risk profile for a complicated rehabilitation process in a screening. Patients were assessed at baseline, 12 and 18 months post-injury. The outcome variables concerned five aspects of subjective well-being (negative feelings, life and job satisfaction, satisfaction related to family and health). Both the control and the experimental group received conventional case management. Participants in the intervention group additionally received tailored workplace interventions and/or mental health counselling sessions. Participants in the intervention group received an average of 2.23 (SD = 6.94) counselling sessions. Both groups showed a significant reduction (mean (95% CI) of negative feelings control group 2.6 (2.3–3.4), intervention group 2.4 (1.6–3.4)), with a significant difference in negative feelings between the groups (p = 0.01). Our results suggest that a tailored counselling intervention has a modest long-term effect (d = 0.74) on negative feelings for mildly-to-moderately injured workers. However, future studies should evaluate the feasibility of this study’s treatment approach.Implications for rehabilitationAccidents and the resulting injuries often cause a wide range of burdens including psychosocial and emotional distress as well as long-time sick leaves.Tailored counselling led to significant reductions of negative feelings in mildly-to-moderately injured workers over time.By showing that even conventional case management can have a beneficial effect on subjective wellbeing, the results of this study reaffirm the holistic biopsychosocial nature of injury rehabilitation.

description: Topological insulators (TIs) are exotic materials which have topologically protected states on the surface due to the strong spin-orbit coupling. However, a lack of ordered growth of TI thin films on amorphous dielectrics and/or insulators presents a challenge for applications of TI-junctions. We report the growth of topological insulator Bi2Se3 thin films on amorphous SiO2 by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). To achieve the ordered growth of Bi2Se3 on amorphous surface, the formation of other phases at the interface is suppressed by Se passivation. Structural characterizations reveal that Bi2Se3 films are grown along the [001] direction with a good periodicity by van der Waals epitaxy mechanism. Weak anti-localization effect of Bi2Se3 films grown on amorphous SiO2 shows modulated electrical property by the gating response. Our approach for ordered growth of Bi2Se3 on amorphous dielectric surface presents considerable advantages for TI-junctions with amorphous insulator or dielectric thin films.

description: In quantum mechanics, stringnet condensed states - a family of prototypical states exhibiting non-trivial topological order - can be classified via their long-range entanglement properties, in particular topological corrections to the prevalent area law of the entanglement entropy. Here we consider classical analogs of such stringnet models whose partition function is given by an equal-weight superposition of classical stringnet configurations. Our analysis of the Shannon and Renyi entropies for a bipartition of a given system reveals that the prevalent volume law for these classical entropies is augmented by subleading topological corrections that are intimately linked to the anyonic theories underlying the construction of the classical models. We determine the universal values of these topological corrections for a number of underlying anyonic theories including su(2)_k, su(N)_1, and su(N)_2 theories.
