description: We present a generalisation of the standard pseudo-$C_\ell$ approach for power spectrum estimation to the case of spin-$s$ fields weighted by a general positive-definite weight matrix that couples the different spin components of the field (e.g. $Q$ and $U$ maps in CMB polarisation analyses, or $γ_1$ and $γ_2$ shear components in weak lensing). Relevant use cases are, for example, data with significantly anisotropic noise properties, or situations in which different masks must be applied to the different field components. The weight matrix map is separated into a spin-0 part, which corresponds to the "mask" in the standard pseudo-$C_\ell$ approach, and a spin-$2s$ part sourced solely by the anisotropic elements of the matrix, leading to additional coupling between angular scales and $E/B$ modes. The general expressions for the mode-coupling coefficients involving the power spectra of these anisotropic weight components are derived and validated. The generalised algorithm is as computationally efficient as the standard approach. We implement the method in the public code NaMaster.

description: Background: Thailand has experienced a longstanding epidemic of HIV among people who inject drugs (PWID). However, antiretroviral treatment (ART) coverage among HIV-positive PWID has historically remained low. While ongoing drug law enforcement involving periodic police crackdowns is known to increase the risk of HIV transmission among Thai PWID, the impact of such drug policy approaches on the ART uptake has been understudied. Therefore, we sought to identify factors associated with not receiving ART among HIV-positive PWID in Bangkok, Thailand, with a focus on factors pertaining to drug law enforcement. Methods Data were collected from a community-recruited sample of HIV-positive PWID in Bangkok who participated in the Mitsampan Community Research Project between June 2009 and October 2011. We identified factors associated with not receiving ART at the time of interview using multivariate logistic regression. Results In total, 128 HIV-positive PWID participated in this study, with 58 (45.3%) reporting not receiving ART at the time of interview. In multivariate analyses, completing less than secondary education (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 3.32 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48 – 7.45), daily midazolam injection (AOR: 3.22, 95% CI: 1.45 – 7.15) and exposure to compulsory drug detention (AOR: 3.36, 95% CI: 1.01 – 11.21) were independently and positively associated with not receiving ART. Accessing peer-based healthcare information or support services was independently and positively associated with receiving ART (AOR: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.05 – 0.84). Conclusions Approximately half of our study group of HIV-positive PWID reported not receiving ART at the time of interview. Daily midazolam injectors, those with lower education attainment, and individuals who had been in compulsory drug detention were more likely to be non-recipients of ART whereas those who accessed peer-based healthcare-related services were more likely to receive ART. These findings suggest a potentially adverse impact of compulsory drug detention and highlight the need to expand interventions to facilitate access to ART among HIV-positive PWID in this setting.

description: Understanding open quantum systems using information encoded in its complex eigenvalues has been a subject of growing interest. In this paper, we study higher-order gap ratios of the singular values of generic open quantum systems. We show that $k$-th order gap ratio of the singular values of an open quantum system can be connected to the nearest-neighbor spacing ratio of positions of classical particles of a harmonically confined log-gas with inverse temperature $β'(k)$ where $β'(k)$ is an analytical function that depends on $k$ and the Dyson's index $β=1,2,$ and $4$ that characterizes the properties of the associated Hermitized matrix. Our findings are crucial not only for understanding long-range correlations between the eigenvalues but also provide an excellent way of distinguishing different symmetry classes in an open quantum system. To highlight the universality of our findings, we demonstrate the higher-order gap ratios using different platforms such as non-Hermitian random matrices, random dissipative Liouvillians, Hamiltonians coupled to a Markovian bath, and Hamiltonians with in-built non-Hermiticity.

Can online learning win over Chinese students? A case study of Swinburne University of Technology
Creators: name: Qian, David
name: Tian, Xuemei
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper has emerged from an ongoing research project investigating the policy, behavioural and curricular issues associated with the online educational experience of Chinese university students studying onshore in Australia. Two key perceptions have surfaced. First, that these students are uncomfortable with learning in online mode, despite their familiarity with computers and information technology. Second, that their command of English is a factor, with debate over whether they would feel more comfortable engaging in learning activities in a class-based face-to-face context than in online mode. Arguably, while important, these concerns are symptoms of a broader problem, which may have to do with cultural and behavioural considerations both in Australia and the home country. This paper seeks to identify these underlying causes and propose potential solutions to the problems of online education. The findings confirm that, although Chinese student enrolments remain stable, there is indeed an undercurrent of discontent with online delivery among onshore Chinese students. There is also evidence that the success rate of students in face-to-face classes is well in excess of that for online classes. However, there is more to this than simply the inappropriateness of online teaching and learning for Chinese students. Our research suggests that a more considered and consultative approach, that takes more care over deeper cultural concerns, and addresses issues around the social as well as the educational environment, is likely to dispel most concerns about online education and how to prepare Chinese students study online. This could also provide potential solutions for Australian educators seeking to improve the educational experience of onshore Chinese students.

description: Unlocking the potential of Industry 5.0 hinges on robust cybersecurity measures. This new Industrial Revolution prioritises human-centric values while addressing pressing societal issues such as resource conservation, climate change, and social stability. Recognising the heightened risk of cyberattacks due to the new enabling technologies in Industry 5.0, this paper analyses potential threats and corresponding countermeasures. Furthermore, it evaluates the existing industrial implementation frameworks, which reveals their inadequacy in ensuring a secure transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0. Consequently, the paper underscores the necessity of developing a new framework centred on cybersecurity to facilitate organisations' secure adoption of Industry 5.0 principles. The creation of such a framework is emphasised as a necessity for organisations.

Data-driven topology design for conductor layout problem of electromagnetic interference filter

description: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters are used to reduce electromagnetic noise. It is well known that the performance of an EMI filter in reducing electromagnetic noise largely depends on its conductor layout. Therefore, if a conductor layout optimization method with a high degree of freedom is realized, a drastic performance improvement is expected. Although there are a few design methods based on topology optimization for this purpose, these methods have some difficulties originating from topology optimization. In this paper, we therefore propose a conductor layout design method for EMI filters on the basis of data-driven topology design (DDTD), which is a high degree of freedom structural design methodology incorporating a deep generative model and data-driven approach. DDTD was proposed to overcome the intrinsic difficulties of topology optimization, and we consider it suitable for the conductor layout design problem of EMI filters. One significant challenge in applying DDTD to the conductor layout design problem is maintaining the topology of the circuit diagram during the solution search. For this purpose, we propose a simple yet efficient constraint. We further provide numerical examples to confirm the usefulness of the proposed method.

description: In complex real-world tasks such as robotic manipulation and autonomous driving, collecting expert demonstrations is often more straightforward than specifying precise learning objectives and task descriptions. Learning from expert data can be achieved through behavioral cloning or by learning a reward function, i.e., inverse reinforcement learning. The latter allows for training with additional data outside the training distribution, guided by the inferred reward function. We propose a novel approach to construct compact and transparent reward models from automatically selected state features. These inferred rewards have an explicit form and enable the learning of policies that closely match expert behavior by training standard reinforcement learning algorithms from scratch. We validate our method's performance in various robotic environments with continuous and high-dimensional state spaces. Webpage: \url{https://sites.google.com/view/transparent-reward}.

description: The superfluid response of nanoscale size quasi-2D He-4 droplets adsorbed on a graphite substrate is investigated by computer simulations. It is found that clusters comprising as few as 7 atoms are stable at temperatures lower than < 0.15 K. Clusters of ~20 atoms or less are liquid-like and ~100% superfluid. As the size is increased, the central region crystallizes, forming the commensurate C_1/3 phase, with a surface sliver of superfluidity evolving into a perimetral 1D Luttinger liquid with increasing cluster size. The relevance to quasi-2D molecular spectroscopy and to transverse quantum superfluidity is discussed.

description: Background: Heightened inflammation, including expression of COX-2, is associated with COPD pathogenesis. RelB is an NF-κB family member that attenuates COX-2 in response to cigarette smoke by a mechanism that may involve the miRNA miR-146a. There is no information on the expression of RelB in COPD or if RelB prevents COX-2 expression through miR-146a. Methods: RelB, Cox-2 and miR-146a levels were evaluated in lung fibroblasts and blood samples derived from non-smokers (Normal) and smokers (At Risk) with and without COPD by qRT-PCR. RelB and COX-2 protein levels were evaluated by western blot. Human lung fibroblasts from Normal subjects and smokers with and without COPD, along with RelB knock-down (siRNA) in Normal cells, were exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) in vitro and COX-2 mRNA/protein and miR-146a levels assessed. Results: Basal expression of RelB mRNA and protein were significantly lower in lung cells derived from smokers with and without COPD, the latter of which expressed more Cox-2 mRNA and protein in response to CSE. Knock-down of RelB in Normal fibroblasts increased Cox-2 mRNA and protein induction by CSE. Basal miR-146a levels were not different between the three groups, and only Normal fibroblasts increased miR-146a expression in response to smoke. There was a positive correlation between systemic RelB and Cox-2 mRNA levels and circulating miR-146a levels were higher only in GOLD stage I subjects. Conclusions: Our data indicate that RelB attenuates COX-2 expression in lung structural cells, such that loss of pulmonary RelB may be an important determinant in the aberrant, heightened inflammation associated with COPD pathogenesis.

The spatial conceptualization of power in the Roman Empire: Discovering the Lycian landscape of the 1st c. A.D.

Studies on Roman rule and its effects on the provinces have been presented under various aspects, for example through studying the administration of a province (governors and other Roman officials), its military garrisons (the deployment of legions, auxiliaries and military posts), its specific cults (e.g. Dea Roma, the emperor cult, and the cult of the Roman Senate), its monuments of art (imperial sculptures, portraits etc.) and architecture (especially aqueducts, baths, administrative buildings, urban infrastructure, roads), its economy (e.g. coinage, taxes, and customs duties), and its social classes (senators, equites, Roman citizens, the urban elites, etc.).
 Amongst all of these possible approaches, road construction has been one of the most vital elements, since roads are the most important land based infrastructural means of connectivity, control and communication. Roads are essential for linking together all parts of a country. This was all the more important in a rugged landscape such as Lycia, in order to keep it united and to avoid the separation into single local units. A well-functioning road system was a requirement for a coordinated and functional administration, and last but not least for economic progress. Furthermore, there were many side-effects, unintended by the road-builders, but very important for historical developments. Roads supported the rapid spread of new ideas, habits, and cults and could find their way into even the most isolated mountain valleys. It is therefore hardly surprising that roads, which are a very important feature of Roman rule and administration, have been the subject of numerous essential studies.
 A unique discovery in Lycia, the Patarean Monument, also known as Stadiasmus Patarensis, or “The Patarean Monument of Roads”, which dates from 46 A.D. and lists all the roads renovated during the reign of Claudius in the whole of Lycia which has created a totally new context for answering several questions, but, at the same time has raised some new questions. Ancient Lycia roughly covers the area of the Teke peninsula of today, extending from Fethiye (ancient Telmessos) to the territory southwest of Antalya. Already in antiquity, this area was of great importance as a result of its very special historical development as well as its political structure (e.g. the Lycian League); this is also true in terms of connectivity, including both commerce and travel. Lycia possessed several good harbours, which formed an integral part of heavily frequented Mediterranean Sea routes connecting east and west; furthermore, these ports were the endpoints of important roads leading into the interior of Anatolia, routes which remained in use through the ages.

description: Large-scale, volunteer-collected datasets of community-identified natural world imagery like iNaturalist have enabled marked performance gains for fine-grained visual classification of species using machine learning methods. However, such data -- sometimes referred to as citizen science data -- are opportunistic and lack a structured sampling strategy. This volunteer-collected biodiversity data contains geographic, temporal, taxonomic, observers, and sociopolitical biases that can have significant effects on biodiversity model performance, but whose impacts are unclear for fine-grained species recognition performance. Here we introduce Diversity Shift (DivShift), a framework for quantifying the effects of domain-specific distribution shifts on machine learning model performance. To diagnose the performance effects of biases specific to volunteer-collected biodiversity data, we also introduce DivShift - North American West Coast (DivShift-NAWC), a curated dataset of almost 7.5 million iNaturalist images across the western coast of North America partitioned across five types of expert-verified bias. We compare species recognition performance across these bias partitions using a diverse variety of species- and ecosystem-focused accuracy metrics. We observe that these biases confound model performance less than expected from the underlying label distribution shift, and that more data leads to better model performance but the magnitude of these improvements are bias-specific. These findings imply that while the structure within natural world images provides generalization improvements for biodiversity monitoring tasks, the biases present in volunteer-collected biodiversity data can also affect model performance; thus these models should be used with caution in downstream biodiversity monitoring tasks.

Empirical population and public health ethics : a review and critical analysis to advance robust empirical-normative inquiry
Creators: name: Knight, Rod E.
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2016

description: The field of population and public health ethics (PPHE) has yet to fully embrace the generation of evidence as an important project. This article reviews the philosophical debates related to the ‘empirical turn’ in clinical bioethics, and critically analyses how PPHE has and can engage with the philosophical implications of generating empirical data within the task of normative inquiry. A set of five conceptual and theoretical issues pertaining to population health that are unresolved and could potentially benefit from empirical PPHE approaches to normative inquiry are discussed. Each issue differs from traditional empirical bioethical approaches, in that they emphasize (1) concerns related to the population, (2) ‘upstream’ policy-relevant health interventions – within and outside of the health care system and (3) the prevention of illness and disease. Within each theoretical issue, a conceptual example from population and public health approaches to HIV prevention and health promotion is interrogated. Based on the review and critical analysis, this article concludes that empirical-normative approaches to population and public health ethics would be most usefully pursued as an iterative project (rather than as a linear project), in which the normative informs the empirical questions to be asked and new empirical evidence constantly directs conceptualizations of what constitutes morally robust public health practices. Finally, a conceptualization of an empirical population and public health ethics is advanced in order to open up new interdisciplinary ‘spaces’, in which empirical and normative approaches to ethical inquiry are transparently (and ethically) integrated.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Given a bounded symmetric domain $D$ in $\mathbb C^n$, we consider the Clark measures $μ_α$, $α\in \mathbb T$, associated with a rational inner function $φ$ from $D$ into the unit disc in $\mathbb C$. We show that $μ_α=c|\nabla φ|^{-1}χ_{\mathrm b D \cap φ^{-1}(α)}\cdot \mathcal H^{m-1}$, where $m$ is the dimension of the Shilov boundary $\mathrm b D$ of $D$ and $c$ is a suitable constant. Denoting with $H^2(μ_α)$ the closure of the space of holomorphic polynomials in $L^2(μ_α)$, we characterize the $α$ for which $H^2(μ_α)=L^2(μ_α)$ when $D$ is a polydisc; we also provide some necessary and some sufficient conditions for general domains.

description: We propose a measurement of laser-induced vacuum birefringence through the use of pulsed lasers coupled to femtosecond optical enhancement cavities. This measurement technique features cavity-enhanced pump and probe pulses, as well as an independent control pulse. The control pulse allows for a differential measurement where the final signal is obtained using high-frequency lock-in detection, greatly mitigating time-dependent cavity birefringence as an important and possibly prohibitive systematic effect. In addition, the method features the economical use of laser power, and results in a relatively simple experimental setup.

description: Background: While considerable research has been undertaken on addiction treatment, the experiences of transgender individuals who use drugs are rarely explored in such research, as too often transgender individuals are excluded entirely or grouped with those of sexual minority groups. Consequently, little is known about the treatment experiences in this population. Thus, we sought to qualitatively investigate the residential addiction treatment experiences of transgender individuals who use illicit drugs in a Canadian setting. Methods In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 34 transgender individuals in Vancouver, Canada between June 2012 and May 2013. Participants were recruited from three open prospective cohorts of individuals who use drugs and an open prospective cohort of sex workers. Theory-driven and data-driven approaches were used to analyze the data and two transgender researcher assistants aided with the coding and the interpretation of data in a process called participatory analysis. Results Fourteen participants had previous experience of addiction treatment and their experiences varied according to whether their gender identity was accepted in the treatment programs. Three themes emerged from the data that characterized individuals’ experiences in treatment settings: (1) enacted stigma in the forms of social rejection and violence, (2) transphobia and felt stigma, and (3) “trans friendly” and inclusive treatment. Participants who reported felt and enacted stigma, including violence, left treatment prematurely after isolation and conflicts. In contrast, participants who felt included and respected in treatment settings reported positive treatment experiences. Conclusions The study findings demonstrate the importance of fostering respect and inclusivity of gender diverse individuals in residential treatment settings. These findings illustrate the need for gender-based, anti-stigma policies and programs to be established within existing addiction treatment programs. Additionally, it is vital to establish transgender and/or LGBTQ specific treatment programs as recommended by the participants in this study.

Prestige bias drives the viral spread of content reposted by influencers in online communities

description: Cultural evolution theory suggests that prestige bias - whereby individuals preferentially learn from prestigious figures - has played a key role in human ecological success. However, its impact within online environments remains unclear, particularly with respect to whether reposts by prestigious individuals amplify diffusion more effectively than reposts by noninfluential users. We analyzed over 55 million posts and 520 million reposts on Twitter (currently X) to examine whether users with high influence scores (hg indices) more effectively amplified the reach of others' content. Our findings indicate that posts shared by influencers are more likely to be further shared than those shared by non-influencers. This effect persisted over time, especially in viral posts. Moreover, a small group of highly influential users accounted for approximately half of the information flow within repost cascades. These findings demonstrate a prestige bias in information diffusion within the digital society, suggesting that cognitive biases shape content spread through reposting.

Drosophila Cyclin G and epigenetic maintenance of gene expression during development

description: Background: Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are essential for cell cycle regulation and are functionally associated with proteins involved in epigenetic maintenance of transcriptional patterns in various developmental or cellular contexts. Epigenetic maintenance of transcription patterns, notably of Hox genes, requires the conserved Polycomb-group (PcG), Trithorax-group (TrxG), and Enhancer of Trithorax and Polycomb (ETP) proteins, particularly well studied in Drosophila. These proteins form large multimeric complexes that bind chromatin and appose or recognize histone post-translational modifications. PcG genes act as repressors, counteracted by trxG genes that maintain gene activation, while ETPs interact with both, behaving alternatively as repressors or activators. Drosophila Cyclin G negatively regulates cell growth and cell cycle progression, binds and co-localizes with the ETP Corto on chromatin, and participates with Corto in Abdominal-B Hox gene regulation. Here, we address further implications of Cyclin G in epigenetic maintenance of gene expression. Results: We show that Cyclin G physically interacts and extensively co-localizes on chromatin with the conserved ETP Additional sex combs (ASX), belonging to the repressive PR-DUB complex that participates in H2A deubiquitination and Hox gene silencing. Furthermore, Cyclin G mainly co-localizes with RNA polymerase II phosphorylated on serine 2 that is specific to productive transcription. CycG interacts with Asx, PcG, and trxG genes in Hox gene maintenance, and behaves as a PcG gene. These interactions correlate with modified ectopic Hox protein domains in imaginal discs, consistent with a role for Cyclin G in PcG-mediated Hox gene repression. Conclusions: We show here that Drosophila CycG is a Polycomb-group gene enhancer, acting in epigenetic maintenance of the Hox genes Sex combs reduced (Scr) and Ultrabithorax (Ubx). However, our data suggest that Cyclin G acts alternatively as a transcriptional activator or repressor depending on the developmental stage, the tissue or the target gene. Interestingly, since Cyclin G interacts with several CDKs, Cyclin G binding to the ETPs ASX or Corto suggests that their activity could depend on Cyclin G-mediated phosphorylation. We discuss whether Cyclin G fine-tunes transcription by controlling H2A ubiquitination and transcriptional elongation via interaction with the ASX subunit of PR-DUB.

description: Bite-sized educational content (e.g., infographics, podcasts, video microlessons) about quality improvement (QI) can be shared online and tailored to diverse learning styles of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and students. Microlearning provides learners with spaced learning of small chunks of new/refreshed content, enhancing knowledge retention. A virtual community of practice (CoP) facilitates knowledge exchange/translation of QI initiatives among HCPs/students. We aimed 1) to develop and evaluate educational resources for HCPs about QI concepts using infographics (Online Pocket Guide to QI; PGQI), video microlessons, and provide real-world examples of QI/leadership (Leading with Quality Podcast; LQP); 2) to engage HCPs/students by featuring the content in a virtual QI CoP.
