description: Despite widespread biomedical advances in treatment, HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) continue to affect a large portion of the world's population. The profoundly social nature of behaviorally driven epidemics and disparities across socioeconomic divides in the distribution of HIV/STI and care outcomes emphasize the need for innovative, multilevel interventions. Interdisciplinary approaches to HIV/STI control are needed to combine insights from the social and biological sciences and public health fields. In this concluding essay to a Special Issue on HIV/STI in south China, we describe the evolution of China's HIV/STI epidemics and the government response; then synthesize findings from the 11 studies presented in this issues to extend seven recommendations for future HIV/STI prevention and care research in China. We discuss lessons learned from forging international collaborations between social science and public health to inform a shared research agenda to better meet the needs of those most affected by HIV and other STI.

description: Though in-orbit calibration is adopted to reduce position error of individual star spot down to 0.02pixel on star tracker, little study has been conducted on the accuracy to what extent for some significant error sources which often leads to in-orbit correction inefficiency. This study presents the general theory and estimates of the minimum error constraints, including not only on position but also on intensity and scale of Gaussian shaped profile based on Cramer Rao Lower Bound(CRLB) theory. By imposing those constraints on motion, drift in focal length and so on, margins of in-flight error sources and the final accuracy of star tracker can be analytically determined before launch.

description: The macroscopic coherence in superconductors supports dissipationless supercurrents which could play a central role in emerging quantum technologies. Accomplishing unequal supercurrents in the forward and backward directions would enable unprecedented functionalities. This nonreciprocity of critical supercurrents is called superconducting (SC) diode effect. We demonstrate strong SC diode effect in conventional SC thin films, such as niobium and vanadium, employing external magnetic fields as small as 1 Oe. Interfacing the SC layer with a ferromagnetic semiconductor EuS, we further accomplish non-volatile SC diode effect reaching a giant efficiency of 65%. By careful control experiments and theoretical modeling, we demonstrate that the critical supercurrent nonreciprocity in SC thin films could be easily accomplished with asymmetrical vortex edge/surface barriers and the universal Meissner screening current governing the critical currents. Our engineering of the SC diode effect in simple systems opens door for novel technologies. Meanwhile, we reveal the ubiquity of Meissner screening effect induced SC diode effect in superconducting films, which should be eliminated with great care in the search of exotic superconducting states harboring finite-momentum Cooper pairing.

description: We aimed to identify factors related to HIV stigma in Liuzhou, Guangxi province, a city in southwest China with high HIV prevalence. We used a multi-stage cluster randomized sample of the general population to survey 852 adults. We conducted ordinal logistic regression analyses to test factors associated with punishment and isolation stigma. Eighteen percent of respondents agreed that people with HIV should be punished, and 40% agreed that people with HIV should be quarantined. Punishment stigma was associated with age, having three or more sexual partners, and TV watching. Isolation stigma was associated with age, urban residence and a history of STI. HIV transmission knowledge was low, and having correct knowledge attenuated the association with punishment and isolation stigma. Despite programs in China to provide care and treatment for PLHIV, HIV stigma is common in this region. Targeted interventions need to focus on fears related to HIV and PLHIV.

description: Adherence undeniably impacts product effectiveness in microbicide trials, but the connection has proven challenging to quantify using routinely collected behavioral data. We explored this relationship using a nested case–control study in the CAPRISA 004 Tenofovir (TFV) gel HIV prevention trial. Detailed 3-month recall data on sex events, condom and gel use were collected from 72 incident cases and 205 uninfected controls. We then assessed how the relationship between self-reported adherence and HIV acquisition differed between the TFV and placebo gel groups, an interaction effect that should exist if effectiveness increases with adherence. The CAPRISA 004 trial determined that randomization to TFV gel was associated with a significant reduction in risk of HIV acquisition. In our nested case–control study, however, we did not observe a meaningful decrease in the relative odds of infection—TFV versus placebo—as self-reported adherence increased. To the contrary, exploratory sub-group analysis of the case–control data identified greater evidence for a protective effect of TFV gel among participants reporting less than 80% adherence to the protocol-defined regimen (odds ratio (OR) 0.30; 95% CI 0.11–0.78) than among those reporting≥80% adherence (Odds Ratio 0.81; 95% CI 0.34–1.92). The small number of cases may have inhibited our ability to detect the hypothesized interaction between adherence and effectiveness. Nonetheless, our results re-emphasize the challenges faced by investigators when adherence may be miss-measured, miss-reported, or confounded with the risk of HIV.

description: Addition of boundary localised kinetic and Yukawa terms to the action of a 5-dimensional Standard Model would non-trivially modify the Kaluza-Klein spectra and some of the interactions among the Kaluza-Klein excitations compared to the minimal version of this model, in which, these boundary terms are not present. In the minimal version of this framework known as Universal Extra Dimensional model, special assumptions are made about these unknown, beyond the cut-off contributions to restrict the number of unknown parameters of the theory to a minimal. We estimate the contribution of Kaluza-Klein modes to the branching ratios of $B_{s(d)}\rightarrowμ^{+}μ^{-}$ in the framework of non-minimal Universal Extra Dimensional, at one loop level. The results have been compared to the experimental data to constrain the parameters of this model. From the measured decay branching ratio of $B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ (depending on the values of boundary localised parameters) lower limit on $R^{-1}$ can be as high as 800 GeV. We have briefly reviewed the bounds on nmUED parameter space coming from electroweak precision observables. The present analysis ($B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$) has ruled out new regions of parameter space in comparison to the analysis of electroweak data. We have revisited the bound on $R^{-1}$ in Universal Extra Dimensional model, which came out to be 454 GeV. This limit on $R^{-1}$ in Universal Extra Dimensional framework is not as competitive as the limits derived from the consideration of relic density or Standard Model Higgs boson production and decay to $W^+ W^-$. Unfortunately, $B_{d}\rightarrowμ^{+}μ^{-}$ decay branching ratio would not set any significant limit on $R^{-1}$ in a minimal or non-minimal Universal Extra Dimensional model.

description: This study explores the feelings, experiences, and coping strategies of people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Liuzhou, China. In a southwestern Chinese city with high HIV prevalence, we conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 47 PLHIV selected to represent individuals who had acquired HIV via different acquisition routes. Many participants felt severely stigmatized; they commonly reported having very low self-esteem and feelings of despair. Based on style of coping and whether it occurred at the interpersonal or intrapersonal level, four types of coping that participants used to deal with HIV-associated stigma were identified: (1) Compassion (Passive/Avoidant-Interpersonal); (2) Hiding HIV status (Passive/Avoidant-Intrapersonal); (3) Social support (Active/Problem-focused-Interpersonal; and (4) Self-care (Active/Problem-focused-Intrapersonal). Educational and stigma-reduction interventions targeting potential social support networks for PLHIV (e.g., family, close friends, and peers) could strengthen active interpersonal PLHIV coping strategies. Interventions teaching self-care to PLHIV would encourage active intrapersonal coping, both of which may enhance PLHIV quality of life in Liuzhou, China.

description: Auger decay is a relaxation process of core-vacant states in atoms and molecules, in which one valence electron fills the core vacancy while a second one is emitted. These states pose a challenge to electronic-structure theory, because they are embedded in the ionization continuum. Recently, we showed that molecular Auger decay can be described using complex-variable coupled-cluster (CC) methods and that partial widths and branching ratios can be computed based on a decomposition of the CC energy. Here, we introduce channel-specific core-valence projectors, dubbed Auger channel projectors, as a more general technique to evaluate partial widths from complex-variable treatments. We apply this new method to core-ionized states of neon, water, ammonia, and methane using CC singles and doubles (CCSD), equation-of-motion ionization potential CCSD, and configuration interaction singles (CIS) wave functions. Even though a single CIS calculation can never describe all Auger decay channels at once, we show that a combination of CIS calculations based on different reference states is able to recover partial and total decay widths from CC calculations to an excellent degree.

description: In the restricted four-body problem consisting of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun as the primaries and a spacecraft as the planetoid, we take into account the solar perturbation in the description of the motion of a spacecraft in the vicinity of the stable Earth-Moon libration points L4 and L5 both in the classical regime and in the context of effective field theories of gravity. We then evaluate the location of all Lagrangian points in the Earth-Moon system within the framework of general relativity. For the points L4 and L5, the corrections of coordinates are of order a few millimeters. After that, we set up a scheme where the theory which is quantum corrected has as its classical counterpart the Einstein theory, instead of the Newtonian one. By virtue of the effective-gravity correction to the longdistance form of the potential among two point masses, all terms involving the ratio between the gravitational radius of the primary and its separation from the planetoid get modified. Within this framework, for the Lagrangian points of stable equilibrium, we find quantum corrections of order two millimeters, whereas for Lagrangian points of unstable equilibrium we find quantum corrections below a millimeter. Finally, general relativity corrections to Newtonian position of collinear Lagrangian points turn out to be below the millimiter, whereas on stable equilibrium points they are of order of a few millimiters.

description: The astrophysical rapid neutron capture process or `$r$ process' of nucleosynthesis is believed to be responsible for the production of approximately half the heavy element abundances found in nature. This multifaceted problem remains one of the greatest open challenges in all of physics. Knowledge of nuclear physics properties such as masses, $β$-decay and neutron capture rates, as well as $β$-delayed neutron emission probabilities are critical inputs that go into calculations of $r$-process nucleosynthesis. While properties of nuclei near stability have been established, much still remains unknown regarding neutron-rich nuclei far from stability that may participate in the $r$ process. Sensitivity studies gauge the astrophysical response of a change in nuclear physics input(s) which allows for the isolation of the most important nuclear properties that shape the final abundances observed in nature. This review summarizes the extent of recent sensitivity studies and highlights how these studies play a key role in facilitating new insight into the $r$ process. The development of these tools promotes a focused effort for state-of-the-art measurements, motivates construction of new facilities and will ultimately move the community towards addressing the grand challenge of `How were the elements from iron to uranium made?'.

description: This study examined the relationship between antiretroviral therapy use, participants' knowledge of partner's HIV serostatus, number of sex partners, perceived infectivity and HIV disclosure to a main sexual partner among 258 HIV-positive Haitian alcohol users. Only 38.6 % had disclosed their HIV serostatus to sexual partners. Logistic regression analyses revealed that participants who self-reported having an HIV-negative partner (OR = 0.36, 95 % CI 0.13-0.97) or a partner of unknown HIV status (OR = 0.09, 95 % CI 0.04-0.22) were less likely to disclose their HIV serostatus than participants who self-reported having an HIV-positive partner. Participants who had more than one sexual partner in the past 3 months (OR = 0.41, 95 % CI 0.19-0.90) were also less likely to disclose than participants who had one partner. These findings suggest the need for couples-based programs to assist people living with HIV (PLWH) with the disclosure process, especially among PLWH who have more than one sexual partner and/or are in serodiscordant relationships.

We consider a wide range of possible values for the coupling parameter between different polarizations, *B*, as may happen in composite materials. Positive and also negative refraction index materials are considered. Examples of marginal instability diagrams are shown. It is shown that, within the model, instabilities cannot be of codimension higher than 3. A method for finding parameters for which codimension 2 or 3 takes place is given. The method allows us to choose parameters for which unstable wavenumbers fulfill different relations. Numerical integration results where different instabilities coexist and compete are shown.

description: We present the resumed predictions consisting of both soft-virtual(SV) as well as next-to-SV(NSV) threshold logarithms to all orders in perturbative QCD for the rapidity distribution of Higgs Boson till $\rm NNLO + \overline{NNLL}$ accuracy at LHC. Using our recent formalism\cite{Ajjath:2020lwb}, the resummation is carried out in the double Mellin space by restricting the NSV contributions only from diagonal $gg$ channel. We perform the inverse Mellin ransformation using the minimal prescription procedure and match it with the corresponding fixed order results. We do a detailed analysis of the numerical impact of the resummed result. The K-factor values at different logarithmic accuracy suggest that the prediction for the rapidity distribution converges and becomes more reliable at $\rm NNLO + \overline{NNLL}$ order. We further observed that the inclusion of resumed NSV contribution improves the renormalisation scale uncertainty at every order in perturbation theory. However, the uncertainty due to factorisation scale increases by the addition of resummed SV+NSV predictions to the fixed order rapidity distribution.

description: The re-emerging syphilis epidemic in China is documented among sex workers, but little is known about STI risk among the broader group of women who work at entertainment and service venues, many of whom do not self-identify as sex workers. In 2009 in Liuzhou, China, community informants identified venues where people meet sexual partners. Characteristics of a stratified random sample of venues were collected during venue visits. Female staff at 42 venues were interviewed and tested for syphilis. The results showed that venue characteristics, worker behaviors, and syphilis prevalence differed by venue type. Service venue workers had more sexual partners, were more likely to report sex work, and more likely to have a positive syphilis test than entertainment venue workers (prevalence ratio: 5.4; 95% CI 1.4–20.6). To conclude, risk of syphilis differs by venue type and is higher at service venues, even among women who do not report commercial sex.

description: Depression affects 18-30% of HIV-infected patients in Africa and is associated with greater stigma, lower antiretroviral adherence, and faster disease progression. However, the region's health system capacity to effectively identify and treat depression is limited. Task-shifting models may help address this large mental health treatment gap.

description: Ising model is a widely studied class of models in quantum computation. In this paper we investigate the computational characteristics of the random field Ising model (RFIM) with long-range interactions that decays as an inverse polynomial of distance, which can be achieved in current ion trap system. We prove that for an RFIM with long-range interaction embedded on a 2-dimensional plane, solving its ground state is NP-complete for all diminishing exponent, and prove that the 1-dimensional RFIM with long-range interaction can be efficiently approximated when the interaction decays fast enough.

description: We consider a standard Ginzburg-Landau model of a ferroelectric whose electrical polarization is coupled to gradients of elastic strain. At the harmonic level, such flexoelectric interaction is known to hybridize acoustic and optic phonon modes and lead to phases with modulated lattice structures that precede the symmetry broken state for sufficiently large couplings. Here, we use the we use the self-consistent phonon approximation to calculate the effects of thermal and quantum polarization fluctuations on the bare modes to show that such long-range modulated order is unstable at all temperatures. We discuss the implications for the nearly ferroelectric SrTiO$_3$ and KTaO$_3$, and propose that these systems are melted versions of an underlying modulated state which is dominated by non-zero momentum thermal fluctuations except at the very lowest temperatures.

description: Acute HIV infection (AHI) is a relatively brief period when individuals are highly infectious and the opportunity to intervene to prevent forward transmission is extremely limited. HPTN 062 partnered with CHAVI 001 to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a motivational interviewing (MI)-based counseling intervention to reduce HIV-transmission risk behaviors among individuals with acute and early HIV infection in Lilongwe, Malawi. Participants were randomized to receive either (1) brief education sessions about HIV and AHI; or (2) the same brief education sessions plus an MI-based counseling intervention called Uphungu Wanga. Although Uphungu Wanga was determined to be feasible and acceptable, few major differences existed between the two arms with regard to acceptability, feasibility, and self-reported sexual behaviors. We therefore conclude that an additional MI-based counseling intervention may not be needed during the short period of AHI. Instead, we recommend that individuals with AHI receive frequent, but brief, counseling immediately after diagnosis and then transition to receiving counseling at less frequent intervals until they can initiate antiretroviral therapy. Other recommendations are provided.
Skill of seasonal forecasts with the hydrological model ParFlow/CLM to predict subsurface water resources under drought conditions in central Europe

description: The repeated and severe droughts that have affected central Europe over the last years (2018, 2019, 2020, 2022) have triggered the need for sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts of subsurface water resources. Such long-term forecasts are needed in several sectors such as agriculture, forestry, and water resources, to allow for elaborating and implementing management strategies able to deal with the reduced water resources.In this context, we have developed a high-resolution (0.6km) monitoring and forecasting system of the terrestrial water cycle with the integrated, physics-based hydrologic model ParFlow/CLM over Germany and the surrounding regions. This model setup simulates the surface and 3D subsurface state and fluxes down to 60m depth, thereby covering the variably saturated zone as well as the saturated zone of shallow groundwater bodies. We use the seasonal 50-member ensemble forecast SEAS from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) as atmospheric forcing for ParFlow/CLM. We calculate these forecasts over the whole available lead time, i.e., seven months, at the beginning of each meteorological season (March, June, September, and December).In this study, we analyse the ability for the ParFlow/CLM seasonal forecasts to predict the evolution of water resources, and in particular total subsurface storage, water table depth, and groundwater recharge, during the summer drought of 2022. To evaluate the forecasting skill, the 50-member ensemble seasonal forecasts are compared with a reference time series simulated by forcing ParFlow/CLM by the first 24h of each daily HRES deterministic forecast from ECMWF, which has been validated against observations in a previous study.Finally, we provide some examples on how these seasonal forecasts can be synthesized to assess the risk of water resources depletion due to atmospheric drought conditions, thus providing useful information for society, and, in particular, the agricultural, forestry, and water management sectors.
