description: The present research compares Qatar and Singapore's national vision blueprints with special reference to environmental sustainability and the role of financial services in this. Both visions offer a multidimensional development framework. Both visions aspire for knowledge driven economies. Both visions assign special attention to environmental and social concerns and sustainability. In this study we compared the salient features of the two visions with special reference to environmental sustainability and the supporting role of financial services. While both economies have a small population and serve as regional investment hubs, they have starkly different economic mainstays. Singapore in its modern history, spanning over five decades, has emerged as one of the worlds' well diversified, service and innovation driven environmentally sustainable countries. Over the last decade, Qatar is working on implementing its national vision for a balanced, sustainable and diversified economy, in the path, the experiences, challenges and opportunities of Singapore can be beneficial. Given the time-frame for this thesis, the research, at a limited scale explored the role of financial services with respect to environmental sustainability. The research draws important inferences based on this comparative analysis. Qatar has made significant progress on its numerous sustainability initiatives. For example, Msheireb is the unique example of utilization of green energy and build ideas and Katara Hills Gardens is the iconic example, where the debris of infrastructure projects has been reused to create hills, meadows and plantation of trees for environmental and cultural sustainability. However, two key findings of this study show that: A) Financial and non-financial businesses can contribute tremendously to economic diversification and environmental sustainability simultaneously. Sustainability reporting is a mandatory listing requirement for companies on the Singapore Stock Exchange; while in Qatar Stock Exchange, it is only voluntary and there is an important opportunity for Qatar to learn from Singapore. B) Civil society can play critical role in innovating Zero Waste solutions for environmental sustainability as is evident from Zero Waste Singapore and there's also an important opportunity for Qatar in this line of experience. Deeper and comparative studies are required as benchmarking of economic transformation could be beneficial for emerging economies like Qatar.

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/.

description: Invariant polynomials for torus links are obtained in the framework of the Chern-Simons topological gauge theory. The polynomials are computed as vacuum expectation values on the three-sphere of Wilson line operators representing the Verlinde algebra of the corresponding rational conformal field theory. In the case of the $SU(2)$ gauge theory our results provide explicit expressions for the Jones polynomial as well as for the polynomials associated to the $N$-state ($N>2$) vertex models (Akutsu-Wadati polynomials). By means of the Chern-Simons coset construction, the minimal unitary models are analyzed, showing that the corresponding link invariants factorize into two $SU(2)$ polynomials. A method to obtain skein rules from the Chern-Simons knot operators is developed. This procedure yields the eigenvalues of the braiding matrix of the corresponding conformal field theory.

description: Dysphagia is reported following lung transplantation. Characteristics and trajectory for dysphagia are poorly understood. This retrospective study explored dysphagia and medicine regimes in patients following lung transplant. Medical records and endoscopic recordings of 101 patients (M:50yrs, range 20–67yrs, SD 13yrs) were reviewed. Standardised endoscopic swallowing measures were reported. Discharge reports were analysed for medicines known to cause dysphagia. All patients received bilateral sequential single-lung transplant. Prevalence of referral to speech pathology was 65% with 37 requiring more than one instrumental assessment. Twenty-nine patients were referred to otorhinolaryngology with suspected laryngeal abnormalities. Seventy-five percent of patients (n = 49/65) who received an instrumental assessment aspirated; of whom 63% aspirated silently (31/49). Diet on first day transferred from Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was significantly associated with intubation duration, ICU and hospital length of stay, tracheostomy and vocal fold paralysis (p p Endoscopic, radiographic and/or manometric assessment of dysphagia in patients prior to, and following, lung transplant may allow for early management and prevention of secondary complications. Teams must consider pre-surgical reflux, length of stay in ICU and current medicine regimes when managing patients.

Understanding the impact of a proactive telecare intervention in supporting independence, health, and well-being in older adults
Creators: name: Fothergill, Lauren
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: Background

 Telecare devices are remote care technologies used to monitor emergencies
 and

 lifestyle changes, to support independent living in older adults. There
 has been recent interest among policy makers in proactive telecare
 services, which provide well-being calls or encourage users to regularly
 confirm their well-being, to prevent crises. However, there could be
 better understanding into how proactive services support health and
 well-being. This research explores how using a proactive telecare service
 can support older adults’ independence, and what potential health and
 well-being benefits may be elicited from its use.

 Methods

 An existing proactive telecare service was evaluated called OKEachDay,
 which offers users a device to confirm their well-being through pressing
 an OK button. Four studies were conducted: (1) a qualitative study
 exploring the experiences of key interest groups in using OKEachDay, (2) a
 realist review of how telecare can support older adults, (3) a cohort
 study assessing the association between OKEachDay user engagement patterns
 and hospital admissions, and (4) a feasibility study on OKEachDay.

 Results

 Older adults reported that using OKEachDay contributed to feelings of
 safety and reduced anxiety related to managing risks at home. Daily
 engagement in confirming well-being boosted autonomy in older adults.
 Participants valued being connected to an additional social network.
 However, individuals have differing needs, and varying levels of social
 and financial resources, which must be assessed to ensure older adults are
 best supported. The technology was found to be acceptable and feasible to
 evaluate, suggesting that this proactive telecare system may be a scalable
 intervention to older populations.

 Conclusions

 This research highlights the unique benefits of using a proactive telecare
 system to support independent living, such as promoting autonomy and
 offering social resources, which may promote health and well-being.
 However, OKEachDay must integrate into an individual’s life and available
 resources. A future full scale randomised controlled trial is required to
 evaluate the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of this intervention.
Comparison of two experiments on radiative neutron decay

description: Over 10 years ago we proposed an experiment on measuring the characteristics of radiative neutron decay in papers [1, 2]. At the same time we had published the theoretical spectrum of radiative gamma quanta, calculated within the framework of the electroweak interactions, on the basis of which we proposed the methodology for the future experiment [3,4]. However, because we were denied beam time on the intensive cold neutron beam at ILL (Grenoble, France) for a number of years, we could only conduct the experiment in 2005 on the newly opened FRMII reactor of Technical University of Muenchen. The main result of this experiment was the discovery of radiative neutron decay and the measurement of its relative intensity B.R.= (3.2+-1.6)10-3 with C.L.=99.7% for radiative gamma quanta with energy over 35 kev [5,6]. Over a year after our first announcement about the results of the conducted experiment, "Nature" [7] published a letter asserting that its authors have also measured the branching ratio of radiative neutron decay B.R.= (3.13+-0.34)10-3 with C.L.=68% and gamma quanta energy from 15 to 340 kev. This article aims to compare these two experiments. It is shown that the use of strong magnetic fields in the NIST (Washington, USA) experiment methodology not only prevents any exact measurement of the branching ratio and identification of radiative neutron decay events, but also makes registration of ordinary neutron decay events impossible.

Bipartite discrimination of independently prepared quantum states as a counterexample to a parallel repetition conjecture

description: For distinguishing quantum states sampled from a fixed ensemble, the gap in bipartite and single-party distinguishability can be interpreted as a nonlocality of the ensemble. In this paper, we consider bipartite state discrimination in a composite system consisting of $N$ subsystems, where each subsystem is shared between two parties and the state of each subsystem is randomly sampled from a particular ensemble comprising the Bell states. We show that the success probability of perfectly identifying the state converges to $1$ as $N\rightarrow\infty$ if the entropy of the probability distribution associated with the ensemble is less than $1$, even if the success probability is less than $1$ for any finite $N$. In other words, the nonlocality of the $N$-fold ensemble asymptotically disappears if the probability distribution associated with each ensemble is concentrated. Furthermore, we show that the disappearance of the nonlocality can be regarded as a remarkable counterexample of a fundamental open question in theoretical computer science, called a parallel repetition conjecture of interactive games with two classically communicating players. Measurements for the discrimination task include a projective measurement of one party represented by stabilizer states, which enable the other party to perfectly distinguish states that are sampled with high probability.

We show that these relations are more general, resulting from a much wider class of models. Consequences of these predictions for CP violating asymmetries in neutral B meson decays are discussed.

description: It is well-known that a strict analogue of the Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem in infinite ergodic theory is trivial; it states that for any infinite-measure-preserving ergodic system the Birkhoff average of every integrable function is almost everywhere zero. Nor does a different rescaling of the Birkhoff sum that leads to a non-degenerate pointwise limit exist. In this paper we give a version of Birkhoff's theorem for conservative, ergodic, infinite-measure-preserving dynamical systems where instead of integrable functions we use certain elements of $L^\infty$, which we generically call global observables. Our main theorem applies to general systems but requires an hypothesis of "approximate partial averaging" on the observables. The idea behind the result, however, applies to more general situations, as we show with an example. Finally, by means of counterexamples and numerical simulations, we discuss the question of finding the optimal class of observables for which a Birkhoff theorem holds for infinite-measure-preserving systems.

description: This paper provides a methodology of verified computing for solutions to 1-dimensional advection equations with variable coefficients. The advection equation is typical partial differential equations (PDEs) of hyperbolic type. There are few results of verified numerical computations to initial-boundary value problems of hyperbolic PDEs. Our methodology is based on the spectral method and semigroup theory. The provided method in this paper is regarded as an efficient application of semigroup theory in a sequence space associated with the Fourier series of unknown functions. This is a foundational approach of verified numerical computations for hyperbolic PDEs. Numerical examples show that the rigorous error estimate showing the well-posedness of the exact solution is given with high accuracy and high speed.

Multi-particle structure in the Z_n-chiral Potts models

description: We calculate the lowest translationally invariant levels of the Z_3- and Z_4-symmetrical chiral Potts quantum chains, using numerical diagonalization of the hamiltonian for N <= 12 and N <= 10 sites, respectively, and extrapolating N to infinity. In the high-temperature massive phase we find that the pattern of the low-lying zero momentum levels can be explained assuming the existence of n-1 particles carrying Z_n-charges Q = 1, ... , n-1 (mass m_Q), and their scattering states. In the superintegrable case the masses of the n-1 particles become proportional to their respective charges: m_Q = Q m_1. Exponential convergence in N is observed for the single particle gaps, while power convergence is seen for the scattering levels. We also verify that qualitatively the same pattern appears for the self-dual and integrable cases. For general Z_n we show that the energy-momentum relations of the particles show a parity non-conservation asymmetry which for very high temperatures is exclusive due to the presence of a macroscopic momentum P_m=(1-2Q/n)/ϕ, where ϕis the chiral angle and Q is the Z_n-charge of the respective particle.

description: This study examined the effects of non‐word versus real word, age, and gender on oral‐DDK rates among healthy Malaysian-Mandarin speakers. Comparison between non-word of Malaysian-Mandarin and Hebrew speakers was examined. One-hundred and seventeen speakers (18–83 years old, 46% men) were audio‐recorded while performing non-word (repetition of “pataka”) and real-word oral‐DDK tasks (“butter cake” and “怕他看 ([pha4tha1khan4])”). The number of syllables produced in 8 seconds was counted from the audio recording to derive the oral-DDK rates. A MANOVA was conducted to compare the rates between age groups (young = 18–40 years, n = 56; middle = 41–60 years, n = 39; older = 61–83 years, n = 22) and gender. In a second analysis, “pataka” results were compared between this study and previous findings with Hebrew speakers No gender effects were found. However, rates significantly decreased with age (p non‐words (5.29 ± 1.23) > Mandarin words (4.91 ± 1.13). Malaysian-Mandarin speakers performed slower than Hebrew speakers on “pataka” task. Aging has a large impact on oromotor functions, indicating that speech-language pathologists should consider using age-adjusted norms.

description: We present an algorithm that extends existing quantum algorithms for simulating fermion systems in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics to include bosons in general and phonons in particular. We introduce a qubit representation for the low-energy subspace of phonons which allows an efficient simulation of the evolution operator of the electron-phonon systems. As a consequence of the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem, the phonons are represented with exponential accuracy on a discretized Hilbert space with a size that increases linearly with the cutoff of the maximum phonon number. The additional number of qubits required by the presence of phonons scales linearly with the size of the system. The additional circuit depth is constant for systems with finite-range electron-phonon and phonon-phonon interactions and linear for long-range electron-phonon interactions. Our algorithm for a Holstein polaron problem was implemented on an Atos Quantum Learning Machine (QLM) quantum simulator employing the Quantum Phase Estimation method. The energy and the phonon number distribution of the polaron state agree with exact diagonalization results for weak, intermediate and strong electron-phonon coupling regimes.

description: Daucus L. (Apiaceae) is a genus distributed worldwide, with the Mediterranean area serving as the centre of its diversity. Daucus muricatus (L.) L. is an annual plant growing primarily in the temperate biome. For the first time, in this research the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) from flowers and roots of a Sicilian accession of this plant, was evaluated by GC–MS. An update of all the EOs of the Daucus species was carried out and compared to these data the volatile profile of the EO obtained from the Sicilian accessions of D. muricatus is rather particular. Flower and root EOs (Dmf and Dmr, respectively) showed alkanes as the main class, accounting for 27.2% and 60.0%, respectively. Both EOs were also characterised by the presence of alloaromadendrene oxide (15.6% in Dmr and 11.5% in Dmf). Dmf also showed a good amount of sabinene (11.6%), which is totally absent in Dmr.

description: A procedure for the synthesis of tertiary amines via reductive amination of aldehydes with molecular hydrogen as a reducing agent using homogeneous rhodium catalysis is presented. Using an amine to aldehyde ratio of 4/1 enabled the synthesis of tertiary amines from nine different aldehydes and nine different secondary amines with selectivities up to 99% and turnover frequencies (TOF) up to 7200 h−1. The reaction showed a high tolerance against alcohol and ester functions allowing the formation of multifunctional molecules. In addition, secondary amines can also be produced by this synthesis. For all compounds, activities were determined by hydrogen gas-uptake. In order to increase the sustainability and efficiency of the procedure, a dosing strategy has been successfully developed. Using the determined reaction indicators enabled the stoichiometric use of aldehydes and amines without significant loss of selectivity.

description: The “release” of new technology to users often finds those users developing their own ways of using the technology – ones that the creators of the technology never envisioned. This process is required in technologies where the creators are so focused on the technical difficulties of how to do something that they devote little thought to why someone might want to do it or, in other words, how the new technology will be used. The airplane is one such technology. Its inventors, Orville and Wilbur Wright, gave little thought to how their technology might be used until it came time to try to sell it to someone. Even then, their proposed military applications for the airplane were vague. While the US military did buy their invention, it required much thought and experience with the new technology before a clear doctrine could emerge governing its use. Today, aviation is a vital part of the United States military forces. The United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force each use aviation in a variety of forms, serving a variety of purposes. This dissertation explores the genesis of aviation doctrine within three services (the Air Force did not exist until 1947) from the Army’s first purchase of an airplane in 1909 through the efforts in the 1920s to synthesize pre-WWI theories on the “best use” of aviation with the wartime experiences of each service and the transfer of doctrine from US allies during the war. Drawing on Actor-Network Theory, this dissertation attempts to follow the individuals, organizations, and specific artifacts that influenced the development of each service’s aviation doctrine into the post- WWI era.

description: Background & aim: Lifestyle modification plays a key role in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colorectal adenoma and/or cancer (CRA/CRC) development. However, the association between NAFLD and the risk of CRA/CRC has not been carefully evaluated. Methods: In this meta-analysis, we assessed 21 eligible studies including 124,206 participants to determine the association between NAFLD and the risk of incident and recurrent CRA/CRC. Results: NAFLD presence was associated with an increased risk of any incident CRA (aOR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.19–1.43) and advanced incident CRA/CRC (aOR: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.21–2.04). The severity of NAFLD affected this correlation: compared to mild and/or moderate NAFLD, severe NAFLD was associated with an increased risk of incident CRA/CRC (aOR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.33–3.60). Although pooled cOR revealed that NAFLD was associated with an increased risk of recurrent CRA/CRC (cOR = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.12–2.68), after adjustment for confounding factors, NAFLD had less correlation with the risk of recurrent CRA/CRC (aOR: 1.81, 95% CI: 0.70–4.65). Conclusions: The presence and severity of NAFLD are associated with an increased risk of incident CRA/CRC. However, there is insufficient evidence to indicate that NAFLD is associated with an increased risk of recurrent CRA/CRC.

description: This dissertation examines the intersection of race, urban development, and arts policy in Chicago between 1935 and 1987. Maintaining a focus at the city level, it considers how activists, politicians, civic leaders, and bureaucrats operated within three policy environments presented by the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project (1935-­‐1943), an interregnum period of dispersed domestic cultural policymaking (1944-­‐1963), and the early years of the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities (1965-­‐1985). In the interplay between cultural activism, federal policy implementation, and the arc of urban development in Chicago, recognition of the arts as a key component of the local economy deepened, an extensive infrastructure formed, and refinements of the meaning of cultural democracy advanced. Chapters focus on the development of Work Progress Administration community art centers as a component of the relief policy framework; the implications for municipal arts policy of Mayor Richard J. Daley’s concern for stimulating the local economy and attracting affluent whites to the city; the extension of a state-­‐wide system of support for the arts in Illinois; and the Harold Washington administration’s efforts to institutionalize the arts as a part of city government via a vision of cultural democracy that emphasized multiculturalism, access, and free exchange. The dissertation considers the role of government in supporting the arts sector’s orientation towards cultural democracy, defined by valued diversity, open participation, and the right to be heard regardless of race and class background.

description: Macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two lowest lying states of a bistable RF-SQUID is used to characterize noise in a flux qubit. Measurements of the incoherent decay rate as a function of flux bias revealed a Gaussian shaped profile that is not peaked at the resonance point, but is shifted to a bias at which the initial well is higher than the target well. The r.m.s. amplitude of the noise, which is proportional to the decoherence rate 1/T_2^*, was observed to be weakly dependent on temperature below 70 mK. Analysis of these results indicates that the dominant source of low frequency (1/f) flux noise in this device is a quantum mechanical environment in thermal equilibrium.

"The Great Nomad": Work, Environment, and Space in the Lumber Industry of Minnesota and Louisiana from the 1870s to the 1930s

Subjects: History

description: From the 1870s to the 1930s, the lumber industry in the United States behaved as a “great nomad,” in former Forester William B. Greeley’s words, with the center of production moving from the Great Lakes region during the 1880s and 1890s, to the South after 1900. Despite its mobility at regional and local levels, the industry simultaneously structured and controlled these production spaces both long before and long after workers removed and processed the valuable portions of the forest environment. In valuing the forest, establishing logging camps and sawmill towns, and selling cutover farms, firms created sets of working and living environments and regional landscapes that shaped northern Minnesota and Louisiana from the 1870s through the 1930s, and beyond. Historians who have only followed the “frontier” of lumber production have missed the tension between the industry’s mobility and its long-term influence over the spaces of production. By stretching the spatial and temporal frame I show how the lumber industry sought to control workers and nature (not without difficulty) in several phases of its development and in different ways and at different scales in Minnesota and Louisiana. Timber cruising represented the initial structuring of the forest spaces by lumber firms, as they sought to ascertain the number of board feet of timber on their land. The “radical simplification” of forests inherent in timber estimating proved challenging for firms, and the professionalization of this task by forestry school trained foresters offered a way toward more authoritative valuations of the forest. Next, loggers and millworkers faced the forest not as figures of board feet and prices per acre, but through workplaces and homes defined by the needs of lumber firms. These spaces were also defined by Jim Crow (in Louisiana) and challenged by workers’ brief union movements. Finally, the post lumber regime owed its landscape to the lumber industry but the social purpose to which this deindustrialized space was put – smallholder agriculture – was also outlined by the industry through its extensive landownership and by its agricultural boosterism. Their vision of the cutover foundered on its assumptions about nature and society.

description: We conducted an in-lab user study with 24 participants to explore the usefulness and usability of privacy choices offered by websites. Participants were asked to find and use choices related to email marketing, targeted advertising, or data deletion on a set of nine websites that differed in terms of where and how these choices were presented. They struggled with several aspects of the interaction, such as selecting the correct page from a site's navigation menu and understanding what information to include in written opt-out requests. Participants found mechanisms located in account settings pages easier to use than options contained in privacy policies, but many still consulted help pages or sent email to request assistance. Our findings indicate that, despite their prevalence, privacy choices like those examined in this study are difficult for consumers to exercise in practice. We provide design and policy recommendations for making these website opt-out and deletion choices more useful and usable for consumers.
The Stationary Phase Method for a Wave Packet in a Semiconductor Layered System. The applicability of the method

description: Using the formal analysis made by Bohm in his book, {\em "Quantum theory"}, Dover Publications Inc. New York (1979), to calculate approximately the phase time for a transmitted and the reflected wave packets through a potential barrier, we calculate the phase time for a semiconductor system formed by different mesoscopic layers. The transmitted and the reflected wave packets are analyzed and the applicability of this procedure, based on the stationary phase of a wave packet, is considered in different conditions. For the applicability of the stationary phase method an expression is obtained in the case of the transmitted wave depending only on the derivatives of the phase, up to third order. This condition indicates whether the parameters of the system allow to define the wave packet by its leading term. The case of a multiple barrier systems is shown as an illustration of the results. This formalism includes the use of the Transfer Matrix to describe the central stratum, whether it is formed by one layer (the single barrier case), or two barriers and an inner well (the DBRT system), but one can assume that this stratum can be comprise of any number or any kind of semiconductor layers.

description: We consider two models of two-units repairable systems: cold standby system and warm standby system. We suppose that the lifetimes and repair times of the units are all independent exponentially distributed random variables. Using stochastic orders we compare the lifetimes of systems under different assumptions on the parameters of exponential distributions. We also consider a cold standby system where the lifetimes and repair times of its units are not necessarily exponentially distributed.

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: We analyze BPS black hole attractors in the conformal 4d gauged supergravity formalism and apply the technique known as supergravity localization in order to evaluate Sen's quantum entropy function in the $\mathrm{AdS}_2\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^2$ near-horizon geometry. Under certain assumptions, we reduce the exact expression of the functional integral to a finite-dimensional integral for a number of supersymmetric black holes in gauged supergravity with AdS asymptotics subject to a holographic description via a dual field theory. Examples include the asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_4\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^7$ Cacciatori-Klemm black holes in M-theory and the asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_5\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^5$ generalizations of Gutowski-Reall black holes and Benini-Bobev black strings in type IIB, as well as the recently constructed asymptotically $\mathrm{AdS}_4\!\times\!\mathrm{S}^6$ solutions in massive type IIA. Our results provide an important first step towards a gravitational counterpart to the exact evaluation of supersymmetric partition functions at finite $N$ for the holographically dual field theories in these examples.
