description: We study the scalar-tensor theory of gravity profoundly in the action level as well as in the thermodynamic level. Contrary to the usual description in the literature about the equivalence in the two conformally connected frames, this paper addresses several incomplete inferences regarding it and mentions some inequivalences which were not pointed out earlier. In the thermodynamic level, our analysis shows the two frames are equivalent. In that process, we identify the entropy, the energy and the temperature for the thermodynamic description, and we find these quantities are conformally invariant even without any prior assumption. The same conclusion is reached from the gravitational action as well as from the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term, establishing the result in a more convincing manner.

description: This study used a damaged skin, porcine model to evaluate the in vivo efficacy of WoundStat™ for decontamination of superficial (non-haemorrhaging), sulphur mustard-contaminated wounds. The dorsal skin of 12 female pigs was subjected to controlled physical damage and exposed to 10 μL 14 C–radiolabelled sulphur mustard ( 14 C–SM). Animals were randomly assigned to either a control or a treatment group. In the latter, WoundStat™ was applied 30 s post exposure and left in situ for 1 h. Skin lesion progression and decontaminant efficacy were quantified over 6 h using a range of biophysical measurements. Skin, blood and organ samples were taken post mortem for histopathological assessment, 14 C–SM distribution and toxicokinetic analyses. Application of SM to damaged skin without decontamination was rapidly followed by advanced signs of toxicity, including ulceration and decreased blood flow at the exposure site in all animals. WoundStat™ prevented ulceration and improved blood flow at the exposure site in all decontaminated animals (n = 6). Furthermore, significantly smaller quantities of 14 C–SM were detected in the blood (45% reduction), and recovered from skin (70% reduction) and skin surface swabs (99% reduction) at 6 h post-challenge. Overall, the distribution of 14 C–SM in the internal organs was similar for both groups, with the greatest concentration in the kidneys, followed by the liver and small intestine. WoundStat™ significantly reduced the amount of 14 C–SM recovered from the liver, a key organ for SM metabolism and detoxification. This study demonstrates that WoundStat™ is a suitable product for reducing the ingress and toxicity of a chemical warfare agent. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Determinants of Technical Efficiency in Agricultural Production among Sub Saharan African Countries
Creators: name: Ntwiga, Davis Bundi
Publisher: name: Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences
Year: 2021

description: Climate change has led to a decline in agricultural production due to erratic weather patterns, compromised crop yields and population pressure on arable land. Sub-Saharan Africa is most vulnerable to climate change due to its geographical location, increase in population, destruction of the forests and other agricultural malpractices. This is a threat to livelihoods, food systems, and increase in malnutrition and shocks in food prices. This study examines the influence of climatic factors on the technical efficiency of agricultural production in Sub Saharan Africa using time series data for 25 years from 1991 to 2015 selected from nine countries. The data envelopment analysis estimates technical efficiency with input variable as agricultural land and output variable as agricultural value-added. The panel data analysis response variable is the technical efficiency scores. Predictor variables were population, forest area, temperature, rainfall, and greenhouse gases. In the last 25 years, there has been an increase in population, agricultural land, temperature, and greenhouse gases with a decrease in forest area and rainfall. Temperature, forest area, and greenhouse gases showed significant influences on the technical efficiency of agricultural production. The intricate nature of climate change requires significant efforts to reverse the trend being observed and boost agricultural production efficiency.

description: This paper studies the significant problems with stereotype as a social phenomenon and its impact on intercultural interaction in recent times. The essence of the mechanism of its formation in society is analyzed, and an attempt is made to study the specifics of using ethnostereotypes in the process of foreign language teaching to arouse interest in the cultural knowledge of the country. This paper clearly shows the methodological specifics of teaching Russian as a foreign language with the help of stereotypes about Russian culture, taken from Chinese teaching publications on Russian as a foreign language.
Robust Multilingual Named Entity Recognition with Shallow Semi-Supervised Features

description: We present a multilingual Named Entity Recognition approach based on a robust and general set of features across languages and datasets. Our system combines shallow local information with clustering semi-supervised features induced on large amounts of unlabeled text. Understanding via empirical experimentation how to effectively combine various types of clustering features allows us to seamlessly export our system to other datasets and languages. The result is a simple but highly competitive system which obtains state of the art results across five languages and twelve datasets. The results are reported on standard shared task evaluation data such as CoNLL for English, Spanish and Dutch. Furthermore, and despite the lack of linguistically motivated features, we also report best results for languages such as Basque and German. In addition, we demonstrate that our method also obtains very competitive results even when the amount of supervised data is cut by half, alleviating the dependency on manually annotated data. Finally, the results show that our emphasis on clustering features is crucial to develop robust out-of-domain models. The system and models are freely available to facilitate its use and guarantee the reproducibility of results.

Origins of collectivity in small systems

description: We review recent developments in the theoretical description and understanding of multi-particle correlation measurements in collisions of small projectiles (p/d/$^3$He) with heavy nuclei (Au, Pb) as well as proton+proton collisions. We focus on whether the physical processes responsible for the observed long range rapidity correlations and their azimuthal structure are the same in small systems as in heavy ion collisions. In the latter they are interpreted as generated by the initial spatial geometry being transformed into momentum correlations by strong final state interactions. However, explicit calculations show that also initial state momentum correlations are present and could contribute to observables in small systems. If strong final state interactions are present in small systems, recent developments show that results are sensitive to the shape of the proton and its fluctuations.

description: A 41 year old white man presented to his general practitioner for a routine blood pressure check. He was asymptomatic and had an initial reading of 154/115 mm Hg. Subsequent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) showed that the average daytime reading was 137/89 mm Hg. On further assessment he had no evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography, and no silver wiring or other abnormalities were found on funduscopy. Laboratory tests showed total cholesterol 6.8 mmol/L (reference range <5 mmol/L), triglycerides 5.9 mmol/L (0.45-1.69), high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol 0.76 mmol/L (>1). There was no evidence of urinary microalbuminuria. He drank a moderate amount of alcohol at weekends only and smoked 10 cigarettes a day. He had a medical history of depression and dyspepsia for which he took sertraline and omeprazole daily. He had no family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). His QRISK2 score was calculated as 10.3%. He was worried about what this meant for his health and wanted help in making decisions about how to proceed.

Advertising as Topic

description: BACKGROUND: Alcohol consumption is influenced by a complex causal system of interconnected psychological, behavioural, social, economic, legal and environmental factors. These factors are shaped by governments (eg, licensing laws and taxation), by consumers (eg, patterns of alcohol consumption drive demand) and by alcohol industry practices, such as advertising. The marketing and advertising of alcoholic products contributes to an 'alcogenic environment' and is a modifiable influence on alcohol consumption and harm. The public health perspective is that there is sufficient evidence that alcohol advertising influences consumption. The alcohol industry disputes this, asserting that advertising only aims to help consumers choose between brands. METHODS: We review the evidence from recent systematic reviews, including their theoretical and methodological assumptions, to help understand what conclusions can be drawn about the relationships between alcohol advertising, advertising restrictions and alcohol consumption. CONCLUSIONS: A wide evidence base needs to be drawn on to provide a system-level overview of the relationship between alcohol advertising, advertising restrictions and consumption. Advertising aims to influence not just consumption, but also to influence awareness, attitudes and social norms; this is because advertising is a system-level intervention with multiple objectives. Given this, assessments of the effects of advertising restrictions which focus only on sales or consumption are insufficient and may be misleading. For this reason, previous systematic reviews, such as the 2014 Cochrane review on advertising restrictions (Siegfriedet al) contribute important, but incomplete representations of 'the evidence' needed to inform the public health case for policy decisions on alcohol advertising. We conclude that an unintended consequence of narrow, linear framings of complex system-level issues is that they can produce misleading answers. Systems problems require systems perspectives.
Spin waves in planar quasicrystal of Penrose tiling

description: We investigated two-dimensional magnonic structures which are the counterparts of photonic quasicrystals forming Penrose tiling. We considered the slab composed of Ni (or Py) disks embedded in Fe (or Co) matrix. The disks were arranged in quasiperiodic Pernose-like structure. The infinite quasicrystal was approximated by its rectangular section with periodic boundary conditions applied. This approach allowed us to use the plane wave method to find the frequency spectrum of eigenmodes for spin waves and their spatial profiles. The calculated integrated density of states shows more distictive magnonic gaps for the structure composed of materials of high magnetic contrast (Ni and Fe) and relatively high filling fraction. This proves the impact of quasiperiodic long-range order on the spectrum of spin waves. We also investigated the localization of SW eingenmodes resulting from the quasipeiodicity of the structure.

description: Objective: Our objectives were to study the association between epidural analgesia and risk of severe perineal tears (SPT), and identify additional risk factors for SPT. Methods: We conducted a historical cohort study of women with term delivery between 2006 and 2011. Inclusion criteria were an uncomplicated singleton pregnancy, cephalic presentation and vaginal delivery. Multivariate logistic regression models were constructed to study the association between epidural analgesia and SPT, controlling for potential confounders. Additional models studied the association between prolonged second stage and instrumental labor and SPT. Results: During the study period, 61 308 eligible women gave birth, 31 631 (51.6%) of whom received epidural analgesia. SPT occurred in 0.3% of births. Deliveries with epidural had significantly higher rates of primiparity, induction and augmentation of labor, prolonged second stage of labor, instrumental births and midline episiotomies. The univariate analysis showed a significant association between the use of epidural and SPT (OR: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.34–2.36); however, this association disappeared when parity was introduced (OR: 0.95, 95% CI: 0.69–1.29). Instrumental deliveries and prolonged second stage of labor were both strongly associated with SPT (ORs of 1.82 and 1.77) Conclusions: Epidural analgesia was not associated with SPT once confounding factors were controlled for.
Fundamental precision limit of a Mach-Zehnder interferometric sensor when one of the inputs is the vacuum

description: In the lore of quantum metrology, one often hears (or reads) the following no-go theorem: If you put vacuum into one input port of a balanced Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, then no matter what you put into the other input port, and no matter what your detection scheme, the sensitivity can never be better than the shot noise limit (SNL). Often the proof of this theorem is cited to be in Ref. [C. Caves, Phys. Rev. D 23, 1693 (1981)], but upon further inspection, no such claim is made there. A quantum-Fisher-information-based argument suggestive of this no-go theorem appears in Ref. [M. Lang and C. Caves, Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 173601 (2013)], but is not stated in its full generality. Here we thoroughly explore this no-go theorem and give the rigorous statement: the no-go theorem holds whenever the unknown phase shift is split between both arms of the interferometer, but remarkably does not hold when only one arm has the unknown phase shift. In the latter scenario, we provide an explicit measurement strategy that beats the SNL. We also point out that these two scenarios are physically different and correspond to different types of sensing applications.

description: The spin noise in singly charged self-assembled quantum dots is studied theoretically and experimentally under the influence of a perturbation, provided by additional photoexcited charge carriers. The theoretical description takes into account generation and relaxation of charge carriers in the quantum dot system. The spin noise is measured under application of above barrier excitation for which the data are well reproduced by the developed model. Our analysis demonstrates a strong difference of the recharging dynamics for holes and electrons in quantum dots.

description: The CIII] and CIV rest-frame UV emission lines are powerful probes of the ionizations states of galaxies. They have furthermore been suggested as alternatives for spectroscopic redshift confirmation of objects at the epoch of reionization ($z>6$), where the most frequently used redshift indicator, Ly$α$, is attenuated by the high fraction of neutral hydrogen in the inter-galactic medium. However, currently only very few confirmations of carbon UV lines at these high redshifts exist, making it challenging to quantify these claims. Here, we present the detection of CIV$λλ$1548,1551Å in \HST\ slitless grism spectroscopy obtained by GLASS of a Ly$α$ emitter at $z=6.11$ multiply imaged by the massive foreground galaxy cluster RXJ2248. The CIV emission is detected at the 3--5$σ$ level in two images of the source, with marginal detection in two other images. We do not detect significant CIII]$λλ$1907,1909Å emission implying an equivalent width EW$_\textrm{CIII]}<20$Å (1$σ$) and $\textrm{CIV/CIII}>0.7$ (2$σ$). Combined with limits on the rest-frame UV flux from the HeII$λ$1640Å emission line and the OIII]$λλ$1661,1666Å doublet, we put constraints on the metallicity and the ionization state of the galaxy. The estimated line ratios and equivalent widths do not support a scenario where an AGN is responsible for ionizing the carbon atoms. SED fits including nebular emission lines imply a source with a mass of log(M/M$_\odot)\sim9$, SFR of around 10M$_\odot$/yr, and a young stellar population $<50$Myr old. The source shows a stronger ionizing radiation field than objects with detected CIV emission at $z<2$ and adds to the growing sample of low-mass (log(M/M$_\odot)\lesssim9$) galaxies at the epoch of reionization with strong radiation fields from star formation.

description: The bubble nucleation in superheated liquid can be controlled by adjusting the ambient pressure and temperature. At higher pressure the threshold energy for bubble nucleation increases and we have observed that the amplitude of the acoustic emission during vaporisation of superheated droplet decreases with increase in pressure at any given temperature. Other acoustic parameters such as the primary harmonic frequency and the decay time constant of the acoustic signal also decrease with increase in pressure. It is independent of the type of superheated liquid. The decrease in signal amplitude limits the detection of bubble nucleation at higher pressure. This effect is explained by the microbubble growth dynamics in superheated liquid.

description: The United Kingdom (UK) is an important regional agricultural producer with historical prominence in the global agri-food trade. Agriculture covers more than two-thirds of UK land, and top agricultural goods produced include animal products (beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and dairy) and grain (wheat, barley, and oats). Agri-food represents the largest manufacturing sector in the UK, which is known for specialty products. Over recent decades, the UK’s membership in the European Union (EU) mostly defined the country’s agri-food production and trade policies. After leaving the EU through Brexit, the UK is responsible for constructing agricultural policy and negotiating trade agreements. This report explores trends in UK agricultural production and trade and considers the historical UK-EU coupling and potential shifts in agri-food trade patterns post-Brexit.

description: Es ist uns ein Anliegen, mit dem vorliegenden Themenheft der Stichproben – Wiener Zeitschrift für kritische Afrikastudien rassismuskritische Perspektiven und Praxisimpulse aus Österreich vor dem Kontext aktueller wissenschafts- und gesellschaftspolitischer Debatten in den Fokus zu rücken. Das Heft schließt durch seinen inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt an frühere Themenhefte der Stichproben aus den 2000er Jahren an (Nr. 6/2004 und Nr. 16/2009) und erscheint zugleich in einem deutlich veränderten Kontext. In den letzten Jahren haben antirassistische Initiativen, Projekte und Proteste (auch) in Österreich in der Öffentlichkeit an Präsenz gewonnen. Geprägt sind diese vor allem von der öffentlichen Positionierung und dem Handeln junger, österreichischer BPoC [Black and People of Color] Aktivist*innen, die auch im universitären Kontext Rassismus, das Schweigen über und das Leugnen von Rassismus aufzeigen, anprangern und auch von Universitätsangehörigen bzw. Universitätsleitungen antirassistisches Handeln und die Verankerung entsprechender Prinzipien in den Hochschulstrukturen fordern.

description: Arteries can be considered as layered composite material. Experimental data on the stiffness of human atherosclerotic carotid arteries and their media and adventitia layers are very limited. This study used uniaxial tests to determine the stiffness (tangent modulus) of human carotid artery sections containing American Heart Association type II and III lesions. Axial and circumferential oriented adventitia, media, and full thickness specimens were prepared from six human carotid arteries (total tissue strips: 71). Each artery yielded 12 specimens with two specimens in each of the following six categories; axial full thickness, axial adventitia (AA), axial media (AM), circumferential full thickness, circumferential adventitia (CA), and circumferential media (CM). Uniaxial testing was performed using Inspec 2200 controlled by software developed using labview. The mean stiffness of the adventitia was 3570 ± 667 and 2960 ± 331 kPa in the axial and circumferential directions, respectively, while the corresponding values for the media were 1070 ± 186 and 1800 ± 384 kPa. The adventitia was significantly stiffer than the media in both the axial (p = 0.003) and circumferential (p = 0.010) directions. The stiffness of the full thickness specimens was nearly identical in the axial (1540 ± 186) and circumferential (1530 ± 389 kPa) directions. The differences in axial and circumferential stiffness of media and adventitia were not statistically significant.
Deadly dark matter cusps vs faint and extended star clusters: Eridanus II and Andromeda XXV

description: The recent detection of two faint and extended star clusters in the central regions of two Local Group dwarf galaxies, Eridanus II and Andromeda XXV, raises the question of whether clusters with such low densities can survive the tidal field of cold dark matter haloes with central density cusps. Using both analytic arguments and a suite of collisionless N-body simulations, I show that these clusters are extremely fragile and quickly disrupted in the presence of central cusps $ρ\sim r^{-α}$ with $α\gtrsim 0.2$. Furthermore, the scenario in which the clusters where originally more massive and sank to the center of the halo requires extreme fine tuning and does not naturally reproduce the observed systems. In turn, these clusters are long lived in cored haloes, whose central regions are safe shelters for $α\lesssim 0.2$. The only viable scenario for hosts that have preserved their primoridal cusp to the present time is that the clusters formed at rest at the bottom of the potential, which is easily tested by measurement of the clusters proper velocity within the host. This offers means to readily probe the central density profile of two dwarf galaxies as faint as $L_V\sim5\times 10^5 L_\odot$ and $L_V\sim6\times10^4 L_\odot$, in which stellar feedback is unlikely to be effective.

description: We report the ${\it Kepler}$ photometry of KIC 11401845 displaying multiperiodic pulsations, superimposed on binary effects. Light-curve synthesis represents that the binary star is a short-period detached system with a very low mass ratio of $q$ = 0.070 and filling factors of $F_1$ = 45 % and $F_2$ = 99 %. Multiple frequency analyses were applied to the light residuals after subtracting the synthetic eclipsing curve from the observed data. We detected 23 frequencies with signal to noise amplitude ratios larger than 4.0, of which the orbital harmonics ($f_4$, $f_6$, $f_9$, $f_{15}$) in the low frequency domain may originate from tidally excited modes. For the high frequencies of 13.7$-$23.8 day$^{-1}$, the period ratios and pulsation constants are in the ranges of $P_{\rm pul}/P_{\rm orb}$ = 0.020$-$0.034 and $Q$ = 0.018$-$0.031 d, respectively. These values and the position on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram demonstrate that the primary component is a $δ$ Sct pulsating star. We examined the eclipse timing variation of KIC 11401845 from the pulsation-subtracted data and found a delay of 56$\pm$17 s in the arrival times of the secondary eclipses relative to the primary eclipses. A possible explanation of the time shift may be some combination of a light-travel-time delay of about 34 s and a very small eccentricity of $e \cos ω

The electromagnetic Sigma-to-Lambda hyperon transition form factors at low energies

description: Using dispersion theory the low-energy electromagnetic form factors for the transition of a Sigma to a Lambda hyperon are related to the pion vector form factor. The additionally required input, i.e. the two-pion--Sigma--Lambda amplitudes are determined from relativistic next-to-leading-order (NLO) baryon chiral perturbation theory including the baryons from the octet and optionally from the decuplet. Pion rescattering is again taken into account by dispersion theory. It turns out that the inclusion of decuplet baryons is not an option but a necessity to obtain reasonable results. The electric transition form factor remains very small in the whole low-energy region. The magnetic transition form factor depends strongly on one not very well determined low-energy constant of the NLO Lagrangian. One obtains reasonable predictive power if this low-energy constant is determined from a measurement of the magnetic transition radius. Such a measurement can be performed at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).
