description: The Survival Guide for Resettlement: New Migrants and New Media can be utilised by other migrant and diaspora groups to help new migrants navigate their digital and physical lives. This collaboratively created resource was a valuable outcome of engaging Greek migrant youth in a Participatory Narrative Inquiry (PNI) through art-based activities for sensemaking and to elicit participant knowledge, to create resources that can help migrant youths to feel a part of their diaspora community. This Survival Guide can be used with migrant youths from other cultural backgrounds, as well as teachers and parents who can see their students and children struggle to adjust to life in Australia, make friends in the physical world and limit nostalgic longing for a lost childhood and past.

description: The excavations at Cranmere school, Esher and The Avenue, Egham both produced important evidence relating to the later Bronze Age. In each case ditches forming major land divisions from the Middle Bronze Age, with associated settlement, were discovered. Both have new settlement, including indications of roundhouses, associated with a field system, in the Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age. An exceptionally large ditch at Egham was previously the site of the discovery of a major hoard of bronze objects, and the Esher site has also produced a hoard of ingot fragments contained within an in situ, Late Bronze Age, pot. At Egham, enclosure or field ditches of probable Late Iron Age date were deliberately backfilled as part of preparations for the building of the London-Silchester Roman road which cut across the site.The work exposed a large roadside ditch along a distance of 45m and a cambered gravel surface to the 16.5m wide road. Both sites have probable sunken-featured buildings.That at Esher is of Early Saxon date, and pottery hints that there was quite intensive and widespread occupation. Pottery of similar date is known from the site at Egham, although the building may be later Saxon. Evidence of early medieval occupation and a Tudor building was also revealed there.

description: A wealth of archaeological information has been produced by the investigation of three sites that lay within a radius of 2.5km near to the river Ash, a tributary of the Thames. All produced some evidence of early prehistoric activity but that from Home Farm, Laleham, is the most substantial, with indications of Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age occupation and cremation scattered across a wide area, suggesting communities whose agricultural methods, evidenced by animal bone and cereals, were still not those of settled farmers.All three sites demonstrated the presence of later Bronze Age co-axial field systems with associated waterholes. At St Michael's Road, Ashford, there were only hints of associated occupation but at the Spelthorne Fire station, Ashford, there were indications of a post-built roundhouse and other features. Home Farm, Laleham, revealed a number of occupation locations, one with a clearly defined, post-built round house and others with many postholes that must belong to similar structures. Cremations, mostly un-urned, were identified in locations separate from, but near to, occupation areas and close to field boundaries. Charred grain showed that cereal crops were an important part of the economy. Finds of particular note are many pieces of perforated clay tablets.The Spelthorne Fire station site revealed an important Middle-Late Iron Age site, with a trackway to the west of a farmstead that consisted of a principal hut, an ancillary hut, and a working area. Struck flint provides one of the best indications of its use extending well into the Middle Iron Age.

description: Spoilheap Occasional Papers, 2
description: An excavation at Christ's College School, Guildford between April and June 2007, in advance of proposed redevelopment of the site, produced evidence of occupation in both the later Bronze Age and Roman periods, as well as of limited activity during the post-medieval and modern periods. The main Bronze Age features were ditches belonging to a field system or enclosure, together with three occupation or activity areas and other scattered features. Collectively this indicates both settlement activity and ritual deposition in the later Bronze Age period.The Roman evidence was dominated by a north-south orientated system of gullies that seem to form a boundary ditch that may have separated a settlement area to the west (beyond the limit of excavation) from more open land to the east. A cluster of pits and/or waterholes lay immediately to the east of the boundary ditch and included multiple finds relating to domestic activity. Gullies to the south, that ran on a roughly east-west alignment, contained much less material, suggesting they were further away from the main settlement area, and may have formed a field boundary. All features date to the third century, suggesting the settlement and field system can only have been in use for a fairly short period of time.The archaeological work at Christ's College School clearly revealed material of archaeological importance for the local area and for the wider region. This publication sets out the detailed evidence for this, and discusses the material discovered within its wider context.

description: This paper explores static wormhole solutions in f(Q,T) theory, where Q is the non-metricity and T is the trace of energy-momentum tensor. We derive the field equations that describe gravitational phenomena in the existence of non-metricity and matter source terms. We examine different models of this theory to determine the explicit expressions of matter contents, which are useful for analyzing the wormhole structures. We investigate the existence of feasible traversable wormhole solutions for constant and variable redshift functions. To determine whether physically viable wormhole geometry exists, we examine the graphical interpretation of energy constraints for different values of model parameters. It is found that realistic traversable and stable wormhole solutions exist only for the first model of this gravity.

description: Archaeological excavations between 1994 and 2004 in the Wey Manor Farm quarry revealed features and artefacts spanning almost the whole of the Holocene period. A Late Upper Palaeolithic flint scatter forms a major body of new evidence for that period, while the Mesolithic flintwork is an important addition to the known, largely riverine, distribution of Mesolithic sites within the Thames Valley. Neolithic and Early Bronze Age activity remained peripatetic, with several flint scatters and burials, the latter including one or more Collared Urns.It is probable that a field system developed in the Middle Bronze Age, with associated domestic activity including the rare find of a Bronze Age wooden cup in a waterhole. Funerary activity is more conspicuous, with urned and unurned cremations in several locations, and a ring-ditch surrounding a probable barrow of Deverel-Rimbury date. An Iron Age ditch was probably associated with a boundary dyke and nearby occupation. Elsewhere, a Middle Iron Age eaves-drip trench for a roundhouse was found within a wider spread of Iron Age occupation indicated by finds, pits and gullies. This was succeeded by a system of enclosures, belonging to a farm of comparatively low status, established around the time of the Roman Conquest and continuing until abandonment about AD 200. The next significant activity was in the Early to Middle Saxon period when the occupation may have been associated with a nearby ritual site. Further settlement occurred from around the 12th century, and was on two sites, one continuing until the end of the medieval period.

description: Flax is an important cash crop globally with a variety of commercial uses. It has been widely used for fiber, oil, nutrition, feed and in composite materials. Growth regulatory factor (GRF) is a transcription factor family unique to plants, and is involved in regulating many processes of growth and development. Bioinformatics analysis of the GRF family in flax predicted 17 LuGRF genes, which all contained the characteristic QLQ and WRC domains. Equally, 15 of 17 LuGRFs (88%) are predicted to be regulated by lus-miR396 miRNA. Phylogenetic analysis of GRFs from flax and several other well-characterized species defined five clades; LuGRF genes were found in four clades. Most LuGRF gene promoters contained cis-regulatory elements known to be responsive to hormones and stress. The chromosomal locations and collinearity of LuGRF genes were also analyzed. The three-dimensional structure of LuGRF proteins was predicted using homology modeling. The transcript expression data indicated that most LuGRF family members were highly expressed in flax fruit and embryos, whereas LuGRF3, LuGRF12 and LuGRF16 were enriched in response to salt stress. Real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR (qRT-PCR) showed that both LuGRF1 and LuGRF11 were up-regulated under ABA and MeJA stimuli, indicating that these genes were involved in defense. LuGRF1 was demonstrated to be localized to the nucleus as expected for a transcription factor. These results provide a basis for further exploration of the molecular mechanism of LuGRF gene function and obtaining improved flax breeding lines.

description: This volume brings together papers in memory of David Wynn Williams. David was an active member of the Surrey Archaeological Society from a young age and made a substantial contribution to the archaeology of Surrey over many years. With a background in graphic design he was a talented artist and an accomplished draughtsman. In 1997 he published Late Saxon Stirrup-Strap Mounts: A Classification and Catalogue (1997), a pioneering corpus as it also included metal-detected finds. In 2003 David became the Portable Antiquities Scheme's Finds Liaison Officer for Surrey, and then also for East Berkshire, during which time he recorded thousands of objects found by members of the public. David died very unexpectedly in December 2017 aged 68. In February 2019 a conference was held at the Surrey History Centre in Woking, where colleagues and friends presented a series of papers relating to their experiences of working with and alongside David, both in Surrey and within the wider world of small finds research. It was felt that a fitting tribute to David would be to publish these papers in a volume which also includes an introduction to his substantial art portfolio as well as some very personal tributes from finders.

description: Background: Macrophages and monocytes orchestrate inflammatory processes in the lungs. However, their role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), an inflammatory condition, is not well known. Here, we determined the characteristics of these cells in lungs of COPD patients and identified novel therapeutic targets. Methods: We analyzed the RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of explanted human lung tissue from COPD (n = 18) and control (n = 28) lungs and found 16 transcriptionally distinct groups of macrophages and monocytes. We performed pathway and gene enrichment analyses to determine the characteristics of macrophages and monocytes from COPD (versus control) lungs and to identify the therapeutic targets, which were then validated using data from a randomized controlled trial of COPD patients (DISARM). Results: In the alveolar macrophages, 176 genes were differentially expressed (83 up- and 93 downregulated; Padj < 0.05, |log2FC| > 0.5) and were enriched in downstream biological processes predicted to cause poor lipid uptake and impaired cell activation, movement, and angiogenesis in COPD versus control lungs. Classical monocytes from COPD lungs harbored a differential gene set predicted to cause the activation, mobilization, and recruitment of cells and a hyperinflammatory response to influenza. In silico, the corticosteroid fluticasone propionate was one of the top compounds predicted to modulate the abnormal transcriptional profiles of these cells. In vivo, a fluticasone–salmeterol combination significantly modulated the gene expression profiles of bronchoalveolar lavage cells of COPD patients (p < 0.05). Conclusions: COPD lungs harbor transcriptionally distinct lung macrophages and monocytes, reflective of a dysfunctional and hyperinflammatory state. Inhaled corticosteroids and other compounds can modulate the transcriptomic profile of these cells in patients with COPD.

description: Abstract. While there are various tools available for Open Online Community of Practice (OOCoP) to use for information sharing and knowledge creation, the features may not be user friendly and as such affect the acceptance of the tool by the users. Such was the experience of the Computer Studies teachers in Namibia with Google Groups. By employing a participatory design with the Computer Studies teachers, the limitations of the Google Groups were identified and user requirements to customize a Learning Management System (LMS) were gathered through focus group interviews and questionnaires. This resulted in the custom-ized tool to support OOCoP, NamSchoolTalk. NamSchoolTalk was evaluated using the Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to explain user intentions to use the customised tool and subse-quent usage behavior. While the findings showed that NamSchoolTalk could im-prove collaboration, enhance the learning process and active participation of an OOCoP of Computer Studies teachers, further study is needed to determine the effectiveness of NamSchoolTalk for the information sharing and professional de-velopment of teachers in other subject areas and varying levels of computer lit-eracy.

A Later Saxon and Norman cemetery at Priory Orchard, Station Road, Godalming, Surrey

description: Spoilheap Occasional Papers, 15
description: The major discovery of the excavations at the Priory Orchard site in Godalming is undoubtedly the later Saxon and Norman cemetery, but prehistoric flintwork and later 13th and 14th century tanning pits are also of considerable interest.Over 300 burials and large quantities of loose bones were recovered from a densely packed graveyard. It probably acted as the minster cemetery for the large territory of Godalming hundred between the early 9th century and the early 12th century, as demonstrated by 103 radiocarbon dates (scientific dating method). It lies around 30 metres distance from Godalming church with its known later Saxon origins.All the skeletons were lying face upwards and aligned east to west, the majority with arms by their side and the remainder with one or both crossed low over the pelvis. It seems unlikely that coffined burial was practiced and probable that normally the naked body was wrapped in a shroud. Distinctive features included two female burials with loom weights, (weights used in weaving), and another with a linen smoother (a glass object used to smooth fabric, a little like an iron). More common was the presence of pillow stones, found in around 10% of the graves, while, unique to this cemetery was the phenomenon of 'ash halos' observed around the head in eleven burials. It is suggested that these, like the pillow stones, reflect a focus on ensuring that the head was properly arranged in preparation for the Resurrection.Twelve burials include nails that were placed deliberately, though serving no identifiable practical function. It is argued that these objects were used to restrain the dead in a period when documents suggest a widespread fear that occasional sinister, or evil individuals might not lie quiet.

description: Spoilheap Occasional Papers, 3
description: A wealth of archaeological information has been revealed by excavations in two areas, at St Ann's Heath School, Virginia Water and at Coldharbour Lane, Thorpe, both near to the Redbourne as it approaches the Thames. Both areas produced important evidence for Mesolithic activity, including purposefully dug pits. Similar Neolithic features were also identified, and at Coldharbour Lane the nature of the flintwork recovered suggested ritual activity of this period that preceded an Early Bronze Age ring ditch in the same location. The latter included two crouched inhumations in the ditch. There was plentiful evidence of Middle Bronze Age activity in the same general area, while at the school site a cremation burial of this period was also uncovered.The Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age was represented by a field system or enclosure at St Ann's Heath; the former presence of such a field system at Coldharbour, removed by truncation of the ditches, is suggested by the discovery of waterholes of this date. The Iron Age evidence at St Ann's Heath School is of particular significance with a settlement including rare evidence of iron smelting, as well as ditches, pits, four- and six-post structures, a curvilinear enclosure and a roundhouse ring gully.Significant later activity was only identified at Coldharbour Lane. A Roman field system was revealed, together with a corn drier. A number of pits also point to Saxon occupation, probably after the Early Saxon period, although its character is uncertain.

description: During the population representative German Environmental Survey of Children and Adolescents (GerES V, 2014-2017) 2256 first-morning void urine samples from 3 to 17 years old children and adolescents were analysed for 21 metabolites of 11 different phthalates (di-methyl phthalate (DMP), di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP), di-iso-butyl phthalate (DiBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP), di-cyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), di-n-pentyl phthalate (DnPeP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-iso-nonyl phthalate (DiNP), di-iso-decyl phthalate (DiDP) and di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP)). Metabolites of DMP, DEP, BBzP, DiBP, DnBP, DEHP, DiNP and DiDP were found in 97-100% of the participants, DCHP and DnPeP in 6%, and DnOP in none of the urine samples. Geometric means (GM) were highest for metabolites of DiBP (MiBP: 26.1 my g/L), DEP (MEP: 25.8 my g/L), DnBP (MnBP: 20.9 my g/L), and DEHP (cx-MEPP: 11.9 my g/L). For all phthalates but DEP, GMs were consistently higher in the 3-5 years old children than in the 14-17 years old adolescents. For DEHP, the age differences were most pronounced. All detectable phthalate biomarker concentrations were positively associated with the levels of the respective phthalate in house dust. In GerES V we found considerably lower phthalate biomarker levels than in the preceding GerES IV (2003-2006). GMs of biomarker levels in GerES V were only 18% (BBzP), 23% (MnBP), 23% (DEHP), 29% (MiBP) and 57% (DiNP) of those measured a decade earlier in GerES IV. However, some children and adolescents still exceeded health-based guidance values in the current GerES V. 0.38% of the participants had levels of DnBP, 0.08% levels of DEHP and 0.007% levels of DiNP which were higher than the respective health-based guidance values. Accordingly, for these persons an impact on health cannot be excluded with sufficient certainty. The ongoing and substantial exposure of vulnerable children and adolescents to many phthalates confirms the need of a continued monitoring of established phthalates, whether regulated or not, as well as of potential substitutes. With this biomonitoring approach we provide a picture of current individual and cumulative exposure developments and body burdens to phthalates, thus providing support for timely and effective chemicals policies and legislation. © 2020 The Authors.

description: Abstract. Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) continue to ex-pand the borders of higher education into an anytime and anywhere experience. Mobile technology presents new means for students to access classroom infor-mation and communicate with peers and lecturers. Today, mobile phones have become popular devices for accessing and sharing information. Such mobile de-vices include personal smart phones, tablets, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), iPod touches, iPad, and numerous other devices. There is no doubt that the usage of mobile devices for academic purposes is becoming increasingly popular. Uni-versities now consists students who are easily connected to technology and smart mobile devices. Despite the growth of mobile usage, some lecturers do not allow mobile usage during lectures. A mixed method was applied to determine mobile ownership and usage during lectures. Quantitative and qualitative approaches were incorporated in data analysis. Results show that students are increasingly utilising their mobile phones during lectures. The results helped in formulating the recommendations discussed in the paper.

description: Adequate defensive responding is crucial for mental health but scientifically not well understood. Specifically, it seems difficult to dissociate defense and approach states based on autonomic response patterns. We thus explored the robustness and threat-specificity of recently described oculomotor dynamics upon threat in anticipation of either threatening or rewarding stimuli in humans. While visually exploring naturalistic images, participants (50 per experiment) expected an inevitable, no, or avoidable shock (Experiment 1) or a guaranteed, no or achievable reward (Experiment 2) that could be averted or gained by a quick behavioural response. We observed reduced heart rate (bradycardia), increased skin conductance, pupil dilation and globally centralized gaze when shocks were inevitable but, more pronouncedly, when they were avoidable. Reward trials were not associated with globally narrowed visual exploration, but autonomic responses resembled characteristics of the threat condition. While bradycardia and concomitant sympathetic activation reflect not only threat-related but also action-preparatory states independent of valence, global centralization of gaze seems a robust phenomenon during the anticipation of avoidable threat. Thus, instead of relying on single readouts, translational research in animals and humans should consider the multi-dimensionality of states in aversive and rewarding contexts, especially when investigating ambivalent, conflicting situations.

description: In recent years, the affordability and availability of genetic testing have led to its increased use in clinical care. The increased frequency of testing has led to STXBP1 variants being identified as one of the more common variants associated with neurological disorders. In this review, we aim to summarize the common clinical phenotypes associated with STXBP1 pathogenic variants, provide an overview of their known natural history, and discuss current research into the genotype to phenotype correlation. We will also provide an overview of the suspected normal function of the STXBP1-encoded Munc18-1 protein, animal models, and experimental techniques that have been developed to study its function and use this information to try to explain the diverse phenotypes associated with STXBP1-related disorders. Finally, we will explore current therapies for STXBP1 disorders, including an overview of treatment goals for STXBP1-related disorders, a discussion of the current evidence for therapies, and future directions of personalized medications for STXBP1-related disorders.

description: Background:

Gitelman syndrome is a rare inherited tubulopathy characterized by mutations affecting sodium chloride and magnesium transport in the distal nephron. With an estimated prevalence of 1 in 40,000, it usually presents asymptomatically or with mild symptoms such as fatigue and muscle cramps, but can progress to severe complications such as hypokalemic paralysis and life-threatening arrhythmias. Diagnosis is often made incidentally through blood tests that reveal chronic hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia.

This report details the case of a 35-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes and recent onset of symptoms such as asthenia and asterixis as the striking symptom. Initial testing revealed severe electrolyte imbalances such as hyponatremia, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesemia leading to hospitalization of our patient and suspicion of Gitelman syndrome. Liver pathology was ruled out. The patient was placed on electrolyte replacement therapy, but continued to suffer from hyponatremia.

Biochemical and clinical criteria confirmed Gitelman syndrome, which was treated with oral sodium chloride and spironolactone, resulting in normalization of electrolyte levels and resolution of symptoms, highlighting the disappearance of asterixis. The patient was subsequently discharged home with follow-up to the nephrology outpatient clinic. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the subtle manifestations of Gitelman syndrome and the need for ongoing follow-up to mitigate complications. Ultimately, Gitelman syndrome can significantly impact patients’ quality of life, comparable to more commonly recognized chronic diseases. Regular follow-up in nephrology is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of long-term kidney damage.

description: In this paper we extend the HEALPix discrete global grid system (DGGS) to  ellipsoids  of  revolution,  thereby  broadening  its  possible  applications.   Elaborating on  the  work  of  Calabretta  and  Roukema  [Mapping  on  the  HEALPix  grid,  Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 381 (2007), no.  2, 865872.], we also rearrange the HEALPix map projection and build a new DGGS on top of it, which we call the rHEALPix  DGGS.  The  rHEALPix  DGGS  has  all  the  key  features  of  the  HEALPix DGGS,  and  its  planar  projection  consists  of  horizontal-vertical  aligned  nested  square grids, which makes it easy to understand and display.  We present all the formulas and algorithms necessary for a basic implementation of the rHEALPix DGGS and link to our own open source implementation thereof.

description: Im Rahmen der Berliner LeTriWa-Studie ("Legio nellen in der Trinkwasser-Installation") versuchten wir, ambulant erworbene Fälle von Legionärskrank heit (AE-LK) evidenzbasiert einer Infektionsquelle zuzuordnen. Dafür wurde eine eigens entwickelte Evidenz-Matrix genutzt, mit der die Fälle anhand von drei Evidenztypen (mikrobiologische Evidenz, Cluster-Evidenz und analytisch-vergleichende Evi denz) entweder einer externen Infektionsquelle, ei ner häuslichen Nicht-Trinkwasserquelle (hNTW-Quelle) oder häuslichem Trinkwasser (hTW) zuge ordnet werden konnten. Wir rekrutierten 147 Studienteilnehmende (LeTriWa-Fälle) sowie 217 Kontrollpersonen als Vergleichsgruppe. Bei 84 LeTriWa- Fällen konnte aus den Patientenproben der mono-klonale Antikörpertyp (MAb) identifiziert werden, bei 83 (99 %) ein MAb 3/1-positiver Stamm und bei einem Fall ein MAb 3/1-negativer Stamm. Im Ver gleich zu den Kontrollpersonen war der Fallstatus (infiziert vs. nicht infiziert) nicht mit einer höheren Legionellenkonzentration in den Standard-Haus haltswasserproben assoziiert, die bei Fällen und Kontrollen in gleicher Weise genommen worden waren. Wir fanden jedoch eine hochsignifikante Assoziation mit dem Vorhandensein eines MAb 3/1-positiven Stammes in den Standard-Haushalts proben. Wir konnten etwa für die Hälfte der LeTriWa-Fälle evidenzbasiert eine wahrscheinliche Quelle zuordnen, und zwar 23 (16 %) einer externen Infektionsquelle, 9 (6 %) einer hNTW-Quelle und 40 (27 %) dem hTW.

Search for vector-boson resonances decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark using pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2024

description: A search for a new massive charged gauge boson, W′ , is performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The dataset used in this analysis was collected from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 13 TeV, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 . The reconstructed tb invariant mass is used to search for a W′ boson decaying into a top quark and a bottom quark. The result is interpreted in terms of a W′ boson with purely right-handed or left-handed chirality in a mass range of 0.5–6 TeV. Diferent values for the coupling of the W′ boson to the top and bottom quarks are considered, taking into account interference with single-top-quark production in the s-channel. No signifcant deviation from the background prediction is observed. The results are expressed as upper limits on the W′ → tb production cross-section times branching ratio as a function of the W′ -boson mass and in the plane of the coupling vs the W′ -boson mass.

Current approaches to cyanotoxin risk assessment and risk management around the globe

description: Toxic cyanobacteria became more widely recognized as a potential health hazard in the 1990s, and in 1998 the World Health Organization (WHO) first published a provisional Guideline Value of 1 ìg L-1for microcystin-LR in drinking-water. In this publication we compare risk assessment and risk management of toxic cyanobacteria in 17 countries across all five continents. We focus on the three main (oral) exposure vehicles to cyanotoxins: drinking-water, water related recreational and freshwater seafood. Most countries have implemented the provisional WHO Guideline Value, some as legally binding standard, to ensure the distribution of safe drinking-water with respect to microcystins. Regulation, however, also needs to address the possible presence of a wide range of other cyanotoxins and bioactive compounds, for which no guideline values can be derived due to insufficient toxicological data. The presence of microcystins (commonly expressed as microcystin-LR equivalents) may be used as proxy for overall guidance on risk management, but this simplification may miss certain risks, for instance from dissolved fractions of cylindrospermopsin and cyanobacterial neurotoxins. An alternative approach, often taken for risk assessment and management in recreational waters, is to regulate cyanobacterial presence - as cell numbers or biomass - rather than individual toxins. Here, many countries have implemented a two or three tier alert level system with incremental severity. These systems define the levels where responses are switched from Surveillance to Alert and finally to Action Mode and they specify the short-term actions that follow. Surface bloom formation is commonly judged to be a significant risk because of the elevated concentration of microcystins in a scum. Countries have based their derivations of legally binding standards, guideline values, maximally allowed concentrations (or limits named otherwise) on very similar scientific methodology, but underlying assumptions such as bloom duration, average body size and the amount of water consumed while swimming vary according to local circumstances. Furthermore, for toxins with incomplete toxicological data elements of expert judgment become more relevant and this also leads to a larger degree of variation between countries thresholds triggering certain actions. Cyanobacterial blooms and their cyanotoxin content are a highly variable phenomenon, largely depending on local conditions, and likely concentrations can be assessed and managed best if the specific conditions of the locality are known and their impact on bloom occurrence are understood. Risk Management Frameworks, such as for example the Water Safety Plan concept of the WHO and the ´bathing water profile of the European Union are suggested to be effective approaches for preventing human exposure by managing toxic cyanobacteria from catchment to consumer for drinking water and at recreational sites.

Search for heavy Higgs bosons with favour-violating couplings in multi-lepton plus b-jets fnal states in pp collisions at 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2024

description: A search for new heavy scalars with favour-violating decays in fnal states with multiple leptons and b-tagged jets is presented. The results are interpreted in terms of a general two-Higgs-doublet model involving an additional scalar with couplings to the top-quark and the three up-type quarks (ρtt, ρtc, and ρtu). The targeted signals lead to fnal states with either a same-sign top-quark pair, three top-quarks, or four top-quarks. The search is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 . Events are categorised depending on the multiplicity of light charged leptons (electrons or muons), total lepton charge, and a deep-neural-network output to enhance the purity of each of the signals. Masses of an additional scalar boson mH between 200 − 630 GeV with couplings ρtt = 0.4, ρtc = 0.2, and ρtu = 0.2 are excluded at 95% confdence level. Additional interpretations are provided in models of R-parity violating supersymmetry, motivated by the recent favour and (g − 2)µ anomalies.
