description: In the present work, Grimme’s D3 dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT-D3) is used for the comparative study of cyclic polyaniline oligomers with linear and bent structures, for the first time. Molecular design and spectral characterisation of these compounds are performed at the B3LYP-D3/6-311G(d,p) and the B3LYP-D3/6-311++G(d,p) levels of theory. The formation mechanism of cyclic polyaniline oligomers compared to the linear and bent structures is discussed. Molecular orbital (MO) calculations are applied to study the electronic structure, and estimate the energy gap between the highest occupied (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied (LUMO) molecular orbitals. The density of states (DOS) diagrams are used to evaluate the nature of valence and conduction bands and investigate the electrical conductivity. The calculated infrared (IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and nitrogen-15 nuclear magnetic resonance (15N NMR) spectra of these compounds are compared to the theoretical and experimental spectra of polyaniline. Results show that cyclic polyanilines are nonpolar in comparison to the linear and bent structures. The band gap of these molecules is larger than the linear and bent ones. The band gap of cyclic oligomers increases with the increasing size of the rings. These results provide useful information for the characterisation of these novel compounds.

description: A deliverable in the framework of Task 1.3 of RUSTIK, which envisages the discussion of three main points:1) Rural proofing: scope, methodological approaches and pros and cons2) Concrete experiences in Europe and non-European countries. Differences and similarities. Impacts on policy change and revision processes in the real world3) Rural proofing needs in terms of basic information and monitoring systems. Provision of a methodology of rural proofing to be discussed and tested within rural stakeholders in each Pilot Region

The methodology to be used:- Review of the existing literature- Three significant case study (two European and one non-European), but with concrete experiences and lessons to be drawn.- Three interviews (one for each case study) with relevant people involved in rural proofing government and management.- Interviews based on a common list of questions.- Case studies discussed according to a similar framework (including evolution of rural proofing, institutional responsibilities, and type of delivery)

Three case studies have been chosen as examples of Rural Proofing implementation. Criteria for the choice of case studies have been the following: England has a long-standing and well-established tradition of application at the national level; Finland has tried to apply this approach at the local (municipal) level and, indeed, is the EU country that has experimented more in this field; the USA case appears helpful for fostering local communities to consider key challenges and viable policy solutions to face a specific health crisis but with a holistic approach.

description: While people’s involvement in health research is increasingly the encouraged norm in many countries, the involvement of refugees and migrants in research about their health is rare. Here, we call for a paradigm shift in the field of refugee and migrant health to make participatory health research routine, i.e. normalised. To disrupt ‘business as usual’, we synthesise evidence about meaningful research partnerships and features of inclusive participatory spaces. We present examples of decolonial, culturally attuned methods that can be used to reimagine and reinvigorate research practice because they encourage critical reflexivity and power-sharing: arts-based research using music and singing, participatory learning and action research, Photovoice and co-design (ideas generation) workshops. We consider the consequences of not making this paradigm shift. We conclude with recommendations for specific structural and policy changes and empirical research questions that are needed to inform the normalisation of participatory health research in this field.

description: The 1965-66 marketing year for soybeans will begin September 1--instead of October 1, as in the past--and end August 31. The primary reason for the shift has been the trend toward earlier soybean harvest with an increasing amount of the crop harvested in September. Furthermore, each year a varying amount of new-crop beans have been crushed and exported in September. These estimates for earlier years could only be approximated. After discussion with various segments of the industry, USDA, on June 15, 1965, announced that total stocks of soybeans (farm and off-farm) will be reported as of September 1 instead of October 1. The shift to a September 1 basis will enable more accurate accounting of the utilization of old-crop soybeans prior to the time the new crop is harvested and furnish a more accurate benchmark from which to calculate supply for the ensuing year.

description: As Therasiotes – residents of Therasia, a sparsely populated island sitting to the west of the globally iconic tourist destination of Santorini – engage with their landscape, they are haunted by a sense of stillness, which contrasts with Santorini’s reverberating modernity. By combining text with photographic imagery, this essay explores how Therasiotes experience quietness and its perceived antithesis, modernity, as well as the ways in which both are entangled in conflicting dynamics of pleasure and aversion, a condition invoking Derrida’s discussion of Plato’s pharmakon, with its inherent vacillation between the categories of cure and poison. The article examines peoples’ material practices and modes of looking in order to understand how they experience time and place and how they rework the island’s position in national and global hierarchies of value. It also proposes a peripatetic narrative structure that mirrors my own physical movements on the island in pursuit of photos and thus explores the ethnographic role of photography as a narrative strategy, an object of study and a research method.

description: Excerpts from the Introduction: The social security amendments signed into law by President Johnson, July 30, 1965, affect nearly all people in the United States and will result in increased annual expenditures of about $6.5 billion. A program to finance hospital and other health services for nearly 19 million people, 65 years old and over, is the most publicized feature of the law. This broad program of health insurance is popularly known as "Medicare." Farm people will benefit greatly from the new law. A higher proportion of them than of nonfarm people are 65 years old or over, or are in the 55-64-year-old group that will be age 65 within 10 years. These two age groups include an estimated 2.5 million farm people. Rural nonfarm people of these ages, including many retired farmers, number nearly another 7.5 million. The law establishes two coordinated health-insurance plans: (1) A basic plan providing financial help in meeting costs of hospital and related care, and (2) a voluntary supplemental plan providing financing for physicians' services and other medical and health services.

Year: 2024

description: Abstract: Polypharmacy, the concurrent use of multiple medications, is a growing concern among the elderly due to its association with adverse drug reactions, medication non-adherence, and increased healthcare costs. Nurses play a critical role in identifying, preventing, and managing polypharmacy-related issues. This article explores the prevalence, risk factors, consequences, and nursing strategies for addressing polypharmacy in the elderly population. Emphasis is placed on nursing assessment, medication reconciliation, patient education, and interprofessional collaboration. Understanding these aspects can help improve patient safety and healthcare outcomes.

description: A comprehensive series of mononuclear Ln(III) complexes based on N3-tridentate Schiff-base ligand L have been synthesized using triflate or nitrate lanthanide(III) metal salts. X-ray structural characterization shows that the obtained complexes exhibit a variety of coordination modes around the Ln(III) centers tuned through appropriate counterions and reaction conditions. Examination of the above-mentioned factors reveals that, in the case of all lanthanide assemblies, we observe anion-driven structural diversity. Tuning of the crystal structure of the formed supramolecular systems is also highly influenced by the lanthanide contraction phenomenon, directly resulting in a series of isostructural groups, with general formulae of [ML2(OTf)nX3−n](OTf)3−n, if n = 2, X = MeCN (except for Yb), and if n = 1, X = MeOH in the triflate series, and [ML(NO3)3(X)](Y), where X and Y represent MeOH, MeCN or H2O, respectively, in the nitrate series. The present study gives insight into the lanthanide contraction phenomenon within the tridentate N-heterocyclic coordination architectures of Ln(III) systems and can serve for targeted manipulation of properties through molecular tectonics and crystal engineering aspects in the domains, where subtle changes of the Ln(III) coordination spheres are important like molecular magnetism or catalysis.

description: Sexual signals are often central to reproduction, and their expression is thought to strike a balance between advertising to mates and avoiding detection by predatory eavesdroppers. Tests of the predicted predation costs have produced mixed results, however. Here we synthesized 187 effects from 78 experimental studies in a meta-analytic test of two questions. Namely, whether predators, parasites and parasitoids express preferences for the sexual signals of prey, and whether sexual signals increase realised predation risk in the wild. We found that predators and parasitoids express strong and consistent preferences for signals in forced-choice contexts. We found a similarly strong overall increase in predation on sexual signallers in the wild, though here it was modality specific. Olfactory and acoustic signals increased the incidence of eavesdropping relative to visual signals, which experienced no greater risk than controls on average, given available evidence. Variation in outcome measures was universally high, suggesting that contexts in which sexual signalling may incur no cost, or even reduce the incidence of predation, are common. Our results reveal unexpected complexity in a central viability cost to sexual signalling, while also speaking to applied problems in invasion biology and pest management where signal exploitation holds promise for bio-inspired solutions.

description: The world faces a convergence of social, environmental, and economic crises, which have a common cause: our addiction to an outdated development paradigm based on fossil-fuelled GDP growth at all costs. A different development approach is needed based on achieving the wellbeing of the entire integrated system of humans embedded in the rest of nature.

In this report, we synthesize and integrate the emerging metrics, models, and policies that are being developed and discussed as part of a range of Horizon Europe funded projects around the goal of sustainable and inclusive wellbeing (SIW). We then investigate what would be needed to transform the current system into one that is focused on and can achieve SIW. We argue that the current system is being held in place through the interaction of GDP-based metrics and models (i.e. the System of National Accounts and macroeconomic models) around the narrow goal of GDP growth and the policies, institutions, rules, and norms that support that system. To transform that system will require not just new metrics or new models or new policies independently. It will require a new integrated system of metrics, models, and policies all aimed at achieving the new goal of SIW rather than merely GDP growth.

The effect of report order on metacognition: when should confidence be measured? [Registered Report Stage 1 Protocol]

description: ABSTRACT

Task decisions and confidence ratings are fundamental measures in metacognition research, but using these reports requires collecting them in some order. Only three orders exist and are used in an ad hoc manner across studies. Evidence suggests that when task decisions precede confidence, this report order can enhance metacognition. If verified, this effect pervades studies of metacognition and will lead the synthesis of this literature to invalid conclusions. Here, we test the effect of report order across popular domains of metacognition and probe two factors that may underlie why order effects have been observed in past studies: report time and motor preparation. We examine these effects in perception and memory domains while controlling task accuracy and learning. If order effects are confirmed, our study will provide a blueprint for identifying order bias. If the effect is disconfirmed, our study will challenge the impact of order bias in common metacognition protocols.

What's Causing That Wobble? Building a Model Comparison Framework for TTV Signals

description: Algorithmic planet validation using the transit signal has revolutionized the field of exoplanet detection in the past decade, leading to the confirmation of thousands of new exoplanets. Several open source packages exist to rapidly differentiate between true exoplanet signals and sources of false positive signals, such as stellar variability and nearby eclipsing binaries. We are now entering an era in which we have many hundreds of planets with transit timing variation (TTV) signals. While much effort has been put into disentangling a TTV signal assuming the cause is a multi-planet system, there is a need for methods to distinguish between perturbing planet, moon, and stellar variability caused TTV signals. Here, we show the first results of our work that will investigate how TTV properties like amplitude, frequency, and high order harmonics can be used to statistically rank competing physical TTV models. In particular, we present new results applying these methods to two high significance Kepler candidates that fall into a frequency range typically expected for exomoons. This work is part of a broader goal to ultimately create an open source package that goes beyond TTV parameter estimation to TTV model differentiation.
A Search for Long-Period Transiting Exoplanets with TESS and CHEOPS

description: Detecting exoplanets via the transit method is inherently biased towards short-period planets. Due to the nature of its observing strategy, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is particularly susceptible to this detection bias; only 12% of planets confirmed by TESS have orbital periods longer than 20 days. It’s therefore crucial that we expand the sample of longer-period planets from TESS. One way to do this is using duotransits - planet candidates with two observed transits separated by about two years. These duotransits do not have a unique period, instead they have a discrete set of possible period aliases. We use these aliases to perform targeted follow-up of the duotransit with the CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS), to recover the period and ultimately confirm the planet. To select the optimal targets for this CHEOPS program we have developed a specialised pipeline that searches for duotransits in the TESS data. I will present this duotransit pipeline and its first results. We have discovered 3 new duotransits, all of which are non-TOI planet candidates with P > 20 days and RP < 5 REarth, that have since been successfully observed by CHEOPS. This work is revealing a sample of small, longer-period transiting exoplanets, amenable to radial velocity follow-up and future atmospheric characterisation with the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

description: We show how to compute the inverse of multivectors in  nite dimensional real Clifford algebras Cl(p,q). Foralgebras over vector spaces of fewer than six dimensions, we provide explicit formulae for discriminating between divisors of zero and invertible multivectors, and for the computation of the inverse of a general invertible multivector. For algebras over vector spaces of dimension six or higher, we use isomorphisms between algebras, and between multivectors and matrix representations with multivector elements in Clifford algebras of lower dimension. Towards this end we provide explicit details of how to compute several forms of isomorphism that are essential to invert multivectors in arbitrarily chosen algebras. We also discuss brielfy the computation of the inverses of matrices of multivectors by adapting an existing textbook algorithm for matrices to the multivector setting, using the previous results to compute the required inverses of individual multivectors.

description: One of the most important questions to answer in the field of exoplanet atmospheres is to know which parameters shape their cloudiness levels. These not only define the general feedback mechanisms, but also their observational prospects: cloudy worlds typically have muted atmospheric features in transmission, making them observationally challenging to study. Recent works have predicted a window of “clearer” atmospheres for exoplanets at an equilibrium temperature around 1000 K, which is in between the regimes where silicate clouds and hydrocarbon hazes are believed to dominate. With an estimated T~1025 K, HATS-5b is in this “clear” regime, which also sits at the interesting dividing temperature between “warm” and “hot” giant planets. In this contribution, we present a new, precise ground-based optical transmission spectrum of the hot-Saturn HATS-5b, obtained as part of the ACCESS survey with the IMACS multi-object spectrograph mounted on the Magellan/Baade Telescope. Our spectra cover the 0.5 to 0.9 micron region, and are the product of 5 individual transits observed between 2014 and 2018. We introduce, for the first time in our collaboration, the usage of additional second order light in our analyses. This allows us to extract an “extra” transit lightcurve from our data, improving the overall precision of our combined transit spectrum. In addition, we also highlight how optimal spectral extraction can be much more effective than simple extraction, even in the case of high signal-to-noise ratios, as they can naturally compensate for bad pixels and cosmic rays. We find that the favored atmospheric model for this transmission spectrum is a solar-metallicity atmosphere with C/O = 0.39 +- 0.18, whose features are dominated by H2O, and so we report a tentative detection of H2O in the atmosphere of HATS-5b. If confirmed, this does indeed point to a “clearer” atmosphere at the pressure levels probed by transmission spectroscopy. This is an excellent target for James Webb Space Telescope follow-up, which would allow for a much more precise constraint on the atmospheric C/O, metallicity, and absolute water abundance.

description: Background: Excess weight and obesity are serious health conditions characterized by modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors. Exercise is a common method for achieving weight loss; however, results are not always achieved due to post-exercise compensatory behaviors. Increased energy intake (EI) is thought to be the main compensatory behavior hindering weight loss among overweight and obese adults. It is important to determine and understand the mechanisms behind energy compensation following exercise, as this will allow for the discovery of future interventions that may provide individuals with ways to improve exercise as a weight loss treatment.

Objective: To determine if a single dose of aerobic exercise will alter behavioral constructs known to promote energy intake. Methods: Thirty sedentary overweight to obese (BMI 25 kg/m2 and above) participants aged 18-35 years enrolled in a two-visit counterbalanced crossover design trial. The effects of an acute bout of aerobic exercise and sedentary activity on food reinforcement, attentional bias, and inhibitory control for food cues were assessed.

Results: Attentional bias for food cues increased following the acute bout of exercise while remaining stable after the acute bout of sedentary activity, independent of hunger. Exercise did not influence food reinforcement or inhibitory control for food cues.

Conclusions: An acute bout of exercise increased attentional bias toward food cues compared to sedentary activity, pointing to its potential role as a compensatory mechanism responsible for minimizing weight loss in sedentary adults classified as overweight or obese. More prolonged trials are needed to assess the effect attentional bias has during a longer exercise intervention.

description: Future direct imaging missions such as HabEx and LUVOIR aim to catalog and characterize Earth-mass analogs around nearby stars. The exoplanet yield of these missions will be dependent on the frequency of Earth-like planets, and potentially the a priori knowledge of which stars specifically host suitable planetary systems. Ground or space based radial velocity surveys can potentially perform the pre-selection of targets and assist in the optimization of observation times, as opposed to an uninformed direct imaging survey. In this paper, we present our framework for simulating future radial velocity surveys of nearby stars in support of direct imaging missions. We generate lists of exposure times, observation time-series, and radial velocity time-series given a direct imaging target list. We generate simulated surveys for a proposed set of telescopes and precise radial velocity spectrographs spanning a set of plausible global-network architectures that may be considered for next generation extremely precise radial velocity surveys. We also develop figures of merit for observation frequency and planet detection sensitivity, and compare these across architectures. From these, we draw conclusions, given our stated assumptions and caveats, to optimize the yield of future radial velocity surveys in support of direct imaging missions. We find that all of our considered surveys obtain sufficient numbers of precise observations to meet the minimum theoretical white noise detection sensitivity for Earth-mass habitable zone planets, with margin to explore systematic effects due to stellar activity and correlated noise.

description: Ecological systems are facing major diversity losses in this century due to Anthropogenic effects. Habitat loss, overexploitation of resources, invasion and pollution are rapidly jeopardizing the survival of whole communities. It has been recently suggested that a potential approach to flatten the curve of species extinction and prevent catastrophic shifts would involve the engineering of one selected species within one of these communities. Such possibility has started to become part of potential intervention scenarios to preserve biodiversity. Despite its potential, very little is known about the actual dynamic responses of complex ecological networks to the introduction of a synthetic strains derived from a resident species. In this paper, we address this problem by modelling the response of a community to the addition of a synthetic strain derived from a member of a stable ecosystem. We show that the community interaction matrix largely limits the spread of the engineered strain, thus suggesting that species diversity acts as an ecological firewall. The implications for future scenarios of ecosystem engineering are outlined.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Ecological complexity and the biosphere: the next 30 years’.

description: This paper seeks to extend Coase's explanation of the existence of firms in general to financial firms and the financial markets in particular. Fianancial firms are defined as “producting prices” of financial assets. It also seeks to describe market structure in terms of constellations of different types of financial firms, leading to a continuum of a market configurations ranging from less to more internal integration of financial market structures are compared and assessed. Finally, the symbiosis between manufacturing and financial structures is discussed.

description: This paper investigates the role of financial stucture on he financial fragility of the economy. It argues that while strucures is indipendent of the degree of what Misky calls financial fragility, it will have an impact on the rate of contagion by which financial fragility produces general economic instability. This is independent of the traditional view of instability as being caused by financial intermediation creating a mismatch of maturities of financial institutions' asset and liabilities, but is linked to the quality of the assets against which banks lend when there is a rapid increase in resources intermediated by banks. It concludes by arguing that the present system has become more prone to financial crises because of an increase in the speed of contagion due to a change in the financial structure.

description: Nel classico “The Role of Monetary Policy”, del 1968, Milton Friedman affermava che il tentativo di tenere a livelli artificialmente bassi, attraverso la politica monetaria, il tasso d'interesse e la disoccupazione era destinato all'insuccesso; a causa dell'effetto che 1'espansione monetaria eccessiva finisce per avere sull'inflazione attesa, con i conseguenti effetti di ritorno sugli stessi tassi d'interesse e sull'occupazione. Riecheggiano in queste tesi una serie di assunti e suggestioni della teoria economica e classica: Wicksell sul saggio naturale d'interesse; Irving Fisher Sui rapporti tra tasso d'interesse e prezzi; la teoria quantitativa della moneta, del cui rilancio Friedman stato protagonista, e della quale si ritrova appunto Una relazione stretta e diretta tra quantit di mezzi di pagamento e livello dei prezzi. Quelle posizioni non apparvero particolarmente cogenti, per gli indirizzi di politica economica, negli anni settanta; a quel tempo l'andamento dei prezzi appariva determinato soprattutto da fattori di costo.Le stesse analisi hanno acquistato Una nuova e, per molti aspetti, diversa rilevanza in seguito alla maggiore apertura, soprattutto finanziaria, delle economie negli anni ottanta. In presenza dei processi cosiddetti di globalizzazione dei mercati, i tassi di cambio oscillano principalmente in relazione a fattori e cause di carattere monetario e finanziario; i movimenti dei cambi tendono po a riflettersi, in misure sensibile, nei costi e nei prezzi.

description: In this paper, we try to analyse the optimal location choice in a standard game of horizontal differentiation in which firms are free to locate outside the city boundaries. It turns out that the unique Nash equilibium exhibits a finite distance between the sellers, so that the maximum differentiation principle is not confirmed. Moreover, the two symmetric Stackelberg equilibria exhibit the same degree of differentiation observed when the game is non cooperatively played within the city, except that the leader locates at the center.

description: After a brief description of the diversity of development experiences in the post-warperiod, the paper considers the three most important lessons stemming from those experiences. An explanation of the contrast between grassroots and macro development performance is then offered together with a characterization of the notion of participatory development as a launching pad for a new development impulse. The paper concludes with a defence of publication as a precondition for the starting up of a one-world development path.

description: The paper explores the norms and values supporting the market as a social institution,seeking to outline them explicitly. After this, it addresses the following questions: what dimensions of value in things, relationships and persons are acknowledged or ignored by the norms of the market? Second, what are the ideals of self and society that the market attempts to embody? Third, does the extension of the market to a certain realm undermine the realization of other ideals? The main point of the paper is that market forces must embedded in supportive, but constraining, social, institutional and normative frameworks.

description: In Una situazione in cui la strategia di politica economica è temporalmente coerente, l'ammontare e la struttura per scadenze del debito pubblico segnalano le preferenze del policy maker e contribuiscono a determinare il tasso ottimale d'inflazione. II lavoro, tramite l'analisi di cointegrazione, verifica l'esistenza di tale legame. Nel periodo 1960-91 emerge Una relazione di lungo periodo tra il tasso d'inflazione e i rapporti debito a breve/PIL, debito a lungo/PIL e debito verso la Banca d'ltalia/PIL. Nel breve periodo il tasso d'inflazione appare influenzato anche dal saldo della bilancia commerciale.
