description: We are grateful for the opportunity to serve as Guest Editors of this Special Issue on “The impact of psychopathy: Multidisciplinary and applied perspectives.” Psychopathy is a serious public health concern that has long attracted scholarly and clinical interest in both mental health and criminal justice fields. However, given its robust link with criminal behavior, research on psychopathy has largely developed with a primary emphasis on (male) adults within correctional settings. While the preponderance of work remains focused on these adult offenders, research on psychopathy has expanded in recent decades to include studies within a variety of more diverse populations and contexts. The goal of this Special Issue has been to highlight some of the most recent research in these areas, toward a more deliberate emphasis on the broad impacts that psychopathy can impart across all walks of life. To this end, while only two of the papers included in the Special Issue focused on forensic samples (and more specifically on treatment and recidivism), all 10 papers have nonetheless offered a clear focus on the detrimental impacts that individuals with psychopathic traits can impart within society. Indeed, included manuscripts focused on the impact of psychopathy within romantic relationships (in both middle and older adulthood), within parent-child dyads, within the workplace, and within society at large. Across these studies, the significant, detrimental impact that individuals with heightened psychopathic traits impart is highlighted, not only for their victims, but also for their family, friends, and colleagues. In this Editorial, we would like to emphasize some main themes that emerged from their contributions.

description: There has been little published research on the orchestra librarianship profession, what it entails, how it has changed over time, and what attention is paid to it in the LS curricula. There have been several studies published to date regarding other forms of special librarianship, specifically serials and cataloging. Responses to these studies indicate a general consensus that education in these specialized fields of librarianship is lacking in the LS curricula. It is likely that what holds true for serials education will also hold true for orchestra librarianship education. This paper seeks to determine what being an orchestra librarian entails, how the job has changed in the last thirteen years, and what current orchestra librarians view as the proper education for a future professional. These and other questions are addressed through analysis of electronic surveys sent to Principal librarians of each major orchestra in the United States. It was determined that most orchestra librarians feel an MLS is not as useful for being a professional as a background in music performance is. However, if a future orchestra librarian were to pursue an MLS degree, courses in preservation, database systems and cataloging are the most important to take.

description: Psychopathy is often associated with aggressive behavior, the lack of empathy, and shallow affect. It is debated whether these characteristics are the result of a specific impairment of emotion processing or a general attentional neglect of goal-irrelevant information. Even though there is strong evidence for a crucial role of attentional focus, some studies confound attentional focus with explicit learning instructions. This ignores situations of automatic, implicit processing in which emotional information is selectively attended, but no active control processes are involved to compensate for an impairment in encoding emotional information effectively. This study was designed to separate selective attention toward emotional or nonemotional information from the effect of implicit and explicit learning processes. The online study (N = 429) examined selective attention toward emotional and nonemotional information in relation to psychopathic traits, under conditions of implicit and explicit learning. With regard to psychopathy as a unitary construct assessed via the PPI-R-40, we found no evidence for reduced learning from emotional information under implicit or explicit learning conditions. However, individuals scoring high on the Coldheartedness facet of psychopathy showed impaired implicit but not explicit learning from affective information, even when the information was in the current focus of attention. This suggests that Coldheartedness is associated with impaired implicit affective processing but that this impairment can be compensated under explicit, intentional task processing

Violence against women

description: Every year in the United States millions of women are victims of rape, sexual assault, and other forms of sexual violence. In order to determine what might be done in public libraries to extend support to victimized women and prevent sexual violence, this study sought to identify the information needs of sexually assaulted women. Interviews were conducted with three "companions," or victim advocates, responsible for assisting callers to the Orange County Rape Crisis Center's 24-Hour Help Line. The interviews revealed key areas of information need among victims of sexual violence, including information related to reporting crimes of sexual violence, interacting with law enforcement, the procedures of the sexual assault forensic exam, and facts about sexual violence against women. These findings were applied in the development of recommendations for public libraries and librarians seeking to address sexual violence against women in the communities they serve.

description: We study the spiral population in the nearby and relaxed cluster A496 (z=0.033). It was covered by a large volume of HI (21cm) data carried out with the NRAO-VLA. We perform a multifrequency study to explore the principal mechanisms of perturbation, disruption, and remotion of gas. We show that A496 unveils a complex distribution of the HI detections which are mostly projected onto the central regions. We analyzed the orbital histories of the studied galaxies based on the projected phase-space (PPS) distribution and we reported that A496 is a very peculiar system with a HI deficiency that is not growing towards the cluster center. Finally, the cluster does not show strong evidence of pre-processing of galaxies (López-Gutiérrez et al. 2022, MNRAS,517,1218)

description: Users encounter information and communication systems (ICT) within situated, dynamic contexts with political, economic, infrastructural and socio-organizational elements. Demand for eGranary's offline library of digital content continues to grow in parts of the world that lack Internet access, particularly at schools and universities. But uptake is scattered and inconsistent, and the library's impact on localized communities and its wider effects, e.g. on pedagogy, are poorly understood. This study analyses interviews with eGranary intermediary agents active in four sub Saharan countries. These Mediators reveal some of what is known about the context of eGranary adoption, adaptation and the issues that stakeholders negotiate in the process. This provides background understanding for future contact with eGranary end-users.
Contextual characteristics identified include: reliability of technology and power supply; power-saving trends using smaller hardware and content structure; institutional and user preference for pre-tailored and/or local content; and desire for improved collection searchability.

Observables considered include thermodynamic quantities, transport coefficients, and quasinormal mode frequencies. Although large $λ$ expansions for quasinormal mode frequencies are notably less well behaved than the expansions of other quantities, we find that a partial resummation of higher order corrections can significantly reduce the sensitivity of the results to the value of $λ$.

description: The distribution and the comparison of an ultra-stable optical frequency and accurate time using optical fibres have been greatly improved in the last ten years. The frequency stability and accuracy of optical links surpass well-established methods using the global navigation satellite system and geostationary satellites. In this paper, we present a review of the methods and the results obtained. We show that public telecommunication network carrying Internet data can be used to compare and distribute ultra-stable metrological signals over long distances. This novel technique paves the way for the deployment of a national and continental ultra-stable metrological optical network.
Combined School/Public Libraries: Do They Have An Effect On Teens' Use Of Library Materials And Teens Leisure Reading?

description: This study set out to explore if a relationship exists between library usage for leisure reading by high school students and convenient access to the public library collection at a combined school/public library and also if there is a relationship between such access and the amount of leisure reading by high school students. Library usage was examined in three ways: number of visits, purpose of visits, and number of books borrowed. Leisure reading was examined in terms of where reading material is accessed, hours spent in reading for pleasure and motivations for reading. Students from two high schools in the Wake County Public School System in North Carolina were the subjects in this study. Surveys administered to students at a high school with a combined school/public library were compared with those from students with a stand-alone high school media center.  Both library usage and engagement in leisure reading showed a significantly positive relationship to access to public library resources at school. Students at the high school with a combined school/public library made more independent visits to the library during the school day and more visits to a library outside the school day. Visits to the library during the school day to read or check out books both for schoolwork and leisure were greater at the school with a combined school/public library as was the amount of books borrowed during the school year. When sources of leisure reading material were compared, a higher percentage of teens with convenient access to the public library collection at school used library resources for leisure reading, especially magazines, and a lower percentage buy most of the books they read for leisure. Evidence also indicates that teens with convenient access to the public library collection at school engage in more hours of leisure reading with fewer students reporting that they do not engage in reading outside of school assignments. Finally, students at the school with convenient access to the public library collection scored more motivated toward reading on a reading motivation scale. Most results were significant at .05.

description: Psychopathic personality traits are positively associated with externalising behaviours, and negatively associated with internalising behaviours. However, the contribution of different facets of psychopathy (boldness, meanness, disinhibition) in explaining externalising and internalising behaviours across genders are inconsistent. In this study, we explored gender differences in the assessment of, and relationships between, psychopathic personality traits, trait anxiety, social anxiety, depression, mental health, and aggressive behaviour in 822 students from a German University (586 women, 236 men; Mage = 22.27). Using a structural equation model, we found a positive relationship between aggressive behaviour and all three facets of psychopathy, a positive relationship between internalising behaviours and disinhibition, and a significant negative relationship between internalising behaviours and boldness. Despite gender differences in absolute levels of these variables, the overall pattern of the relationships between variables was consistent across genders. This indicates that symptom level differences across gender cannot be accounted for by variation in early developing personality traits like psychopathy.

description: In today's society, someone is always predicting the imminent demise of libraries, who in return, are constantly having to prove their worth. In this attempt, libraries are/have evolved their mission with expanded services and facilities. However, services and facilities mean nothing if they are not utilized by patrons, which makes it vital that libraries capture new patrons and turn them into life-long users. This study examines the role library instruction sessions play in creating this return-user base that is the foundation for our organizations. The researcher surveys two groups of first-year undergraduate students - one group that attends a library session in the House Undergraduate Library on the campus of UNC-CH and one group that does not - in order to study and compare their habits of library use.

description: The role of radiative cooling during the evolution of a bow shock was studied in laboratory-astrophysics experiments that are scalable to bow shocks present in jets from young stellar objects. The laboratory bow shock is formed during the collision of two counter-streaming, supersonic plasma jets produced by an opposing pair of radial foil Z-pinches driven by the current pulse from the MAGPIE pulsed-power generator. The jets have different flow velocities in the laboratory frame and the experiments are driven over many times the characteristic cooling time-scale. The initially smooth bow shock rapidly develops small-scale non-uniformities over temporal and spatial scales that are consistent with a thermal instability triggered by strong radiative cooling in the shock. The growth of these perturbations eventually results in a global fragmentation of the bow shock front. The formation of a thermal instability is supported by analysis of the plasma cooling function calculated for the experimental conditions with the radiative packages ABAKO/RAPCAL.

description: The polarity and process of Paleo-Tethys subduction on the Tibetan Plateau is a key scientific issue to analyze the tectonic evolution of the Tethys, however, the sedimentary response mechanism of its continental margin still lacks a systematic study. In this paper, we take the Lower Triassic Yingshuiquan Formation at the southern margin of the North Qiangtang terrane as the research object, and comprehensively carry out petrological and sedimentary phase analyses, as well as combining the U-Pb chronology of detrital zircon with trace element geochemistry research. The study shows that the maximum depositional age of the Lower Triassic Yingshuiquan Formation is Early Triassic, and its detrital zircon has the major age group of 354-247 Ma and the minor age groups of 378-484 Ma, 550-695 Ma, 837-925 Ma, 1712-1951 Ma, and 2389-2695 Ma. The depositional environment of the Yingshuiquan Formation is carbonate terrace deposition dominated by the oolitic shoal subphase. The source area of detrital zircon in the Lower Triassic Yingshuiquan Formation is mainly the South and North Qiangtang terranes, in which the detrital zircon components of 484-378 Ma and 354-247 Ma were jointly provided by the contemporaneous bodies of the North Qiangtang terrane and South Qiangtang terrane, whereas the sedimentary detritus of >550 Ma came from the re-circulation of South Qiangtang terrane. By synthesizing the newly acquired data in this study and the previous studies on the subduction and extinction stage of the Longmu Co-Shuanghu Paleo-Tethys Ocean (LSPTO), this paper suggests that the Early Triassic LSPTO has not yet been completely extinguished, and that there is still a remnant of the oceanic basin that developed pre-arc sedimentation between the accretionary wedge and the magmatic arc, and that the Yingshuiquan Formation is the record of the deposition of the pre-arc basin.
Diffusive Boltzmann equation, its fluid dynamics, Couette flow and Knudsen layers

description: In the current work we construct a multimolecule random process which leads to the Boltzmann equation in the appropriate limit, and which is different from the deterministic real gas dynamics process. We approximate the statistical difference between the two processes via a suitable diffusion process, which is obtained in the multiscale homogenization limit. The resulting Boltzmann equation acquires a new spatially diffusive term, which subsequently manifests in the corresponding fluid dynamics equations. We test the Navier-Stokes and Grad closures of the diffusive fluid dynamics equations in the numerical experiments with the Couette flow for argon and nitrogen, and compare the results with the corresponding Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) computations. We discover that the full-fledged Knudsen velocity boundary layers develop with all tested closures when the viscosity and diffusivity are appropriately scaled in the vicinity of the walls. Additionally, we find that the component of the heat flux parallel to the direction of the flow is comparable in magnitude to its transversal component near the walls, and that the nonequilibrium Grad closure approximates this parallel heat flux with good accuracy.

description: Basilisk is a novel Bayesian hierarchical method for inferring the galaxy-halo connection, including its scatter, using the kinematics of satellite galaxies extracted from a redshift survey. In this paper, we introduce crucial improvements, such as updated central and satellite selection, advanced modelling of impurities and interlopers, extending the kinematic modelling to fourth order by including the kurtosis of the line-of-sight velocity distribution, and utilizing satellite abundance as additional constraint. This drastically enhances Basilisk's performance, resulting in an unbiased recovery of the full conditional luminosity function (central and satellite) and with unprecedented precision. After validating Basilisk's performance using realistic mock data, we apply it to the SDSS-DR7 data. The resulting inferences on the galaxy-halo connection are consistent with, but significantly tighter than, previous constraints from galaxy group catalogues, galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing. Using full projected phase-space information, Basilisk breaks the mass-anisotropy degeneracy, thus providing precise global constraint on the average orbital velocity anisotropy of satellite galaxies across a wide range of halo masses. Satellite orbits are found to be mildly radially anisotropic, in good agreement with the mean anisotropy for subhaloes in dark matter-only simulations. Thus, we establish Basilisk as a powerful tool that is not only more constraining than other methods on similar volumes of data, but crucially, is also insensitive to halo assembly bias which plagues the commonly used techniques like galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing.

Online Courses

description: The primary goal of this research project was to evaluate use of online courses in meeting the program goals of the Department in African and Afro-American Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Department's initial purpose in developing and teaching online courses was to enhance outreach efforts in general and more specifically to increase the Department's learning opportunities for nontraditional students. The research found that the majority of students enrolling in the online courses are traditional, on-campus students rather than the intended non-traditional audience due to an overflow of traditional students unable to enroll in the on-campus courses. The courses were found to be generally successful on several levels but not an acceptable alternative for traditional students. Suggestions were made for development of new online courses designed for the traditional student audience as well as restricting the audience for existing courses.
The Kozai-Lidov Mechanism in Hydrodynamical Disks. III. Effects of Disk Mass and Self-Gravity
Creators: name: Fu, Wen

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Previously we showed that a substantially misaligned viscous accretion disk with pressure that orbits around one component of a binary system can undergo global damped Kozai-Lidov (KL) oscillations. These oscillations produce periodic exchanges of the disk eccentricity with inclination. The disk KL mechanism is quite robust and operates over a wide range of binary and disk parameters. However, the effects of self-gravity, which are expected to suppress the KL oscillations for sufficiently massive disks, were ignored. Here, we analyze the effects of disk self-gravity by means of hydrodynamic simulations and compare the results with the expectations of analytic theory. The disk mass required for suppression in the simulations is a few percent of the mass of the central star and this roughly agrees with an analytical estimate. The conditions for suppression of the KL oscillations in the simulations are close to requiring that the disk be gravitationally unstable. We discuss some implications of our results for the dynamics of protoplanetary disks and the related planet formation.

description: A fog computing based radio access network (F-RAN) is presented in this article as a promising paradigm for the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication system to provide high spectral and energy efficiency. The core idea is to take full advantages of local radio signal processing, cooperative radio resource management, and distributed storing capabilities in edge devices, which can decrease the heavy burden on fronthaul and avoid large-scale radio signal processing in the centralized baseband unit pool. This article comprehensively presents the system architecture and key techniques of F-RANs. In particular, key techniques and their corresponding solutions, including transmission mode selection and interference suppression, are discussed. Open issues in terms of edge caching, software-defined networking, and network function virtualization, are also identified.

description: This paper describes the historical and current aspects of libraries, the field of librarianship and the development of library education in the Czech Republic. It discusses the effect of the country's history on the field of Czech library science. This paper examines the influence of the communist government and the state of libraries and librarianship since 1989, when the country gained its freedom and set up an independent state. This analysis also includes three interviews with a library director, the head of a library education department, and a library and information science student in the Czech Republic. These interviews are used as primary resources to supplement the secondary sources that are available.

description: We present chip-scale transmission measurements for three key components of a GaP-on-diamond integrated photonics platform: waveguide-coupled disk resonators, directional couplers, and grating couplers. We also present proof-of-principle measurements demonstrating nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center emission coupled into selected devices. The demonstrated device performance, uniformity and yield place the platform in a strong position to realize measurement-based quantum information protocols utilizing the NV center in diamond.

Role-playing games in special collections: Identifying reasons for underrepresentation and potential value for researchers
Creators: name: Wolper, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014
Subjects: Popular culture
Special collections--Collection development
College and university libraries--Collection development

description: This study describes interviews conducted with special collections librarians and archivists at Duke University, Bowling Green State University, the University of California-Riverside, Indiana University, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to determine how role-playing games are collected and used in these institutions' special collections, particularly those with an emphasis on similar themes and formats in popular culture.
Each librarian and archivist reported heavy usage of his or her institution's popular culture collections and that such items have varied applications across a variety of academic disciplines. Yet, while they do not all actively collect role-playing games and related ephemera for the reasons identified in this study, they agreed that role-playing games will increase in popularity as a collecting focus in university special collections.

description: Complex systems made of interacting elements are commonly abstracted as networks, in which nodes are associated with dynamic state variables, whose evolution is driven by interactions mediated by the edges. Markov processes have been the prevailing paradigm to model such a network-based dynamics, for instance in the form of random walks or other types of diffusions. Despite the success of this modelling perspective for numerous applications, it represents an over-simplification of several real-world systems. Importantly, simple Markov models lack memory in their dynamics, an assumption often not realistic in practice. Here, we explore possibilities to enrich the system description by means of second-order Markov models, exploiting empirical pathway information. We focus on the problem of community detection and show that standard network algorithms can be generalized in order to extract novel temporal information about the system under investigation. We also apply our methodology to temporal networks, where we can uncover communities shaped by the temporal correlations in the system. Finally, we discuss relations of the framework of second order Markov processes and the recently proposed formalism of using non-backtracking matrices for community detection.
