description: Mapping of the underlying neural mechanisms of visuo-spatial working memory (WM) has been shown to consistently elicit activity in right hemisphere dominant fronto-parietal networks. However to date, the bulk of neuroimaging literature has focused largely on the maintenance aspect of visuo-spatial WM, with a scarcity of research into the aspects of WM involving manipulation of information. Thus, this study aimed to compare maintenance-only with maintenance and manipulation of visuo-spatial stimuli (3D cube shapes) utilizing a 1-back task while functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans were acquired. Sixteen healthy participants (9 women, M = 23.94 years, SD = 2.49) were required to perform the 1-back task with or without mentally rotating the shapes 90° on a vertical axis. When no rotation was required (maintenance-only condition), a right hemispheric lateralization was revealed across fronto-parietal areas. However, when the task involved maintaining and manipulating the same stimuli through 90° rotation, activation was primarily seen in the bilateral parietal lobe and left fusiform gyrus. The findings confirm that the well-established right lateralized fronto-parietal networks are likely to underlie simple maintenance of visuo-spatial stimuli. The results also suggest that the added demand of manipulation of information maintained online appears to require further neural recruitment of functionally related areas. In particular mental rotation of visuospatial stimuli required bilateral parietal areas, and the left fusiform gyrus potentially to maintain a categorical or object representation. It can be concluded that WM is a complex neural process involving the interaction of an increasingly large network.

description: In our day-to-day interactions, we use our own motor representations to understand the actions of those around us. How we relate to others is an important part of life. Understanding motor representations can help us to better learn and grow, conduct relationships, assess intent, and increase the quality of our daily lives. Further, understanding how we acquire motor representations can help us better understand this mechanism as we use it. The acquisition of these motor representations can be described by functional changes in the brain as well as structural changes in the brain. The relationship between these expressions of plasticity is not well understood. In this study, I sought to establish if a mediation equation would explain the results of an action recognition study. Participants were taught a novel one ball juggling cascade task either by physically performing it (nonvisual motor group) or by means of observation (nonmotor visual group). The group who physically performed the task learned completely without visual input ensured by blindfolds. The observation group was taught a visual task with physical practice. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were taken before, during, and after training. The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) results represented functional changes between time points. These results showed the changes in action recognition as a result of training. A voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis, performed on the structural MRI images, represented the structural changes. These results were overlaid to determine regions which spatially overlap for both functional and structural changes, with the head of the hippocampus as the only brain region which demonstrated both. A region of interest (ROI) analysis was conducted on the individual images for the head of the hippocampus to obtain mean intensities. These means were entered into Baron and Kenny’s (1986) mediation equations to determine if structural changes act as a mediator on the relationship between time and functional changes. While the equations for the relationship between time on functional changes and time on structural changes were significant, the relationship between structural changes on functional changes was not significant. Therefore the requirements of Baron and Kenny (1986) were not upheld, leading to the conclusion that structural changes do not act as a mediator in the relationship between time and functional changes.

description: We present SN 2023zaw $-$ a sub-luminous ($\mathrm{M_r} = -16.7$ mag) and rapidly-evolving supernova ($\mathrm{t_{1/2,r}} = 4.9$ days), with the lowest nickel mass ($\approx0.002$ $\mathrm{M_\odot}$) measured among all stripped-envelope supernovae discovered to date. The photospheric spectra are dominated by broad He I and Ca NIR emission lines with velocities of $\sim10\ 000 - 12\ 000$ $\mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$. The late-time spectra show prominent narrow He I emission lines at $\sim$1000$\ \mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$, indicative of interaction with He-rich circumstellar material. SN 2023zaw is located in the spiral arm of a star-forming galaxy. We perform radiation-hydrodynamical and analytical modeling of the lightcurve by fitting with a combination of shock-cooling emission and nickel decay. The progenitor has a best-fit envelope mass of $\approx0.2$ $\mathrm{M_\odot}$ and an envelope radius of $\approx50$ $\mathrm{R_\odot}$. The extremely low nickel mass and low ejecta mass ($\approx0.5$ $\mathrm{M_\odot}$) suggest an ultra-stripped SN, which originates from a mass-losing low mass He-star (ZAMS mass $<$ 10 $\mathrm{M_\odot}$) in a close binary system. This is a channel to form double neutron star systems, whose merger is detectable with LIGO. SN 2023zaw underscores the existence of a previously undiscovered population of extremely low nickel mass ($< 0.005$ $\mathrm{M_\odot}$) stripped-envelope supernovae, which can be explored with deep and high-cadence transient surveys.

title: Exploring forced migration through open-data and system dynamics modeling
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: Over the past decade there has been a dramatic increase in forced migration of populations that are impacted by state instability failure, which is often characterized by an increase in violence and human rights violations. A prominent example of this type of migration is the most recent crisis in Syria, which has caused more than 50 percent of the population to be displaced both within the country and as refugee populations that have crossed into neighboring countries and continued to destinations such as the European Union (EU). While such forced migration is not a new phenomenon, advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and increased online connectivity (e.g., through social media usage) have transformed the way migrant populations create, foster, and develop support networks during the three major stages of migration: pre-migrant, post-migrant, and settled migrant. In conjunction, such advances have also led to the development of various centralized and crowdsourced migration-related data collection efforts that now produce substantial amounts of openly available data. The confluence of these two trends is creating new opportunities for developing a better data-driven understanding of forced migration. Within this context, this research seeks to address two key questions: first, can open and in particular social-media data provide reliable quantification during the three stages of migration; and second, can open data, both authoritative and crowdsourced, be used to model forced migration phenomena. Using the Syrian crisis (2012-2018) as a case study, this research addresses the first question by proposing a framework for characterizing and analyzing the utility of open data (and crowdsourced data) for understanding forced migration. To address the second question, a novel conceptual (causal) model for state instability-driven forced migration is proposed based entirely on openly available data. Based on such data, this model is then implemented, verified, and calibrated using a System Dynamics Modeling (SDM) approach, suggesting that the combination of open data and SDM is a valid approach for modeling forced migration. Furthermore, the research demonstrates that such an approach could be used to study the possible impacts of various policy changes (e.g., border closure) on the flow of migrants.

description: The Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit sets the lower bound of carrier mean free path for coherent quasiparticle transport. Metallicity beyond this limit is of great interest because it is often closely related to quantum criticality and unconventional superconductivity. Progress along this direction mainly focuses on the strange-metal behaviors originating from the evolution of quasiparticle scattering rate such as linear-in-temperature resistivity, while the quasiparticle coherence phenomena in this regime are much less explored due to the short mean free path at the diffusive bound. Here we report the observation of quantum oscillations from Landau quantization near the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit in CaAs3. Despite the insulator-like temperature dependence of resistivity, CaAs3 presents giant magnetoresistance and prominent Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations from Fermi surfaces, indicating highly coherent band transport. In contrast, the quantum oscillation is absent in the magnetic torque. The quasiparticle effective mass increases systematically with magnetic fields, manifesting a much larger value than the expectation given by magneto-infrared spectroscopy. It suggests a strong many-body renormalization effect near Fermi surface. We find that these unconventional behaviors may be explained by the interplay between the mobility edge and the van Hove singularity, which results in the formation of coherent cyclotron orbits emerging at the diffusive bound. Our results call for further study on the electron correlation effect of the van Hove singularity.

description: Metallic ferromagnetic transition metal dichalcogenides have emerged as important building blocks for scalable magnonics and memory applications. Downscaling such systems to the ultra-thin limit is critical to integrate them into technology. Here, we achieved layer-by-layer control over the transition metal dichalcogenide Cr$_{1.6}$Te$_{2}$ by using pulsed laser deposition, and we uncovered the minimum critical thickness above which room temperature magnetic order is maintained. The electronic and magnetic structure is explored experimentally and theoretically and it is shown that the films exhibit strong in-plane magnetic anisotropy as a consequence of large spin-orbit effects. Our study elucidates both magnetic and electronic properties of Cr$_{1.6}$Te$_{2}$, and corroborates the importance of intercalation to tune the magnetic properties of nanoscale materials architectures.

description: Finding the most appropriate intelligence test for adolescents with Intellectual Disability (ID) is challenging given their limited language, attention, perceptual, and motor skills and ability to stay on task. The study compared performance of 23 adolescents with ID on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition (WISC-IV), one of the most widely used intelligence tests, and three non-verbal IQ tests, the Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices (RCPM), the Test of Non-verbal Intelligence-Fourth Edition and the Wechsler Non-verbal test of Ability. Results showed that the WISC-IV Full Scale IQ raw and scaled scores were highly correlated with total scores from the three non-verbal tests, although the correlations were higher for raw scores, suggesting they may lead to better understanding of within group differences and what individuals with ID can do at the time of assessment. All participants attempted more questions on the non-verbal tests than the verbal. A preliminary analysis showed that adolescents with ID without ASD (n = 15) achieved higher scores overall than those presenting with ID+ASD (n = 8). Our findings support the view that short non-verbal tests are more likely to give a similar IQ result as obtained from the WISC-IV. In terms of the time to administer and the stress for participants, they are more appropriate for assessing adolescents with ID.

description: Current mainstream science faces significant challenges in explaining the integrity of life, the dynamics of complex systems, and the deep connections between matter, energy, information, and spacetime. Its methodology, based on matter ontology and micro-to-macro reductionism, exhibits inherent limitations. This paper proposes a multi-layered theoretical framework centered on energy ontology and a macro-to-micro determination. Within this framework, time is considered a fundamental attribute of energy, while space corresponds to matter, and matter is a special condensed form of energy – discrete time blocks. A universal cosmic time system exists, exhibiting macro and micro consistency across different scales. Based on this ontology, the paper uses the deconstruction of food through cooking as a paradigm example to elucidate a temporalized structural information transfer mechanism. In this mechanism, food's intrinsic structure-space correlation (information) is released during cooking's deconstruction, entering the water body (which reflects the macro energy ontology as a dynamic continuous space) as subtle energy pulses. This information is then modulated by the dynamics of the water's hydrogen bond network (the temporal dimension), transforming into non-spatial correlation (temporal sequences) carrying the original structural information. These temporal sequences, as structured energy flow, act as bridges connecting self-organizing systems (such as biological organisms), capable of being directly perceived and eliciting corresponding Dynamic Functions and super-spatial correlations. This mechanism suggests that understanding the mysteries of life and matter hinges on discerning the structured flow of energy in the temporal dimension, rather than relying solely on the static spatial structure of matter. This paradigm offers a novel perspective for re-envisioning energy, information, spacetime, and wholeness.

description: © 2016 The Author. The defensin and defensin-like proteins are an extensive group of small, cationic, disulfide-rich proteins found in animals, plants, and fungi and mostly perform roles in host defense. The term defensin was originally used for small mammalian proteins found in neutrophils and was subsequently applied to insect proteins and plant γ-thionins based on their perceived sequence and structural similarity. Defensins are often described as ancient innate immunity molecules and classified as a single superfamily and both sequence alignments and phylogenies have been constructed. Here, we present evidence that the defensins have not all evolved from a single ancestor. Instead, they consist of two analogous superfamilies, and extensive convergent evolution is the source of their similarities. Evidence of common origin necessarily gets weaker for distantly related genes, as is the case for defensins, which are both divergent and small. We show that similarities that have been used as evidence for common origin are all expected by chance in short, constrained, disulfide-rich proteins. Differences in tertiary structure, secondary structure order, and disulfide bond connectivity indicate convergence as the likely source of the similarity. We refer to the two evolutionarily independent groups as the cis-defensins and trans-defensins based on the orientation of the most conserved pair of disulfides.
La delegittimazione del discorso totalitario nel romanzo Racul di Alexandru Ivasiuc

description: Dittatura, terrore, propaganda, negazione del valore dell’individuo e del libero arbitrio sono le parole-chiave del romanzo politico Racul, uno dei più notevoli della letteratura romena post-bellica, opera del travagliato scrittore Alexandru Ivasiuc. Leggendo tra le righe, emerge la tentazione di ravvisare alcuni momenti riconducibili alle vicende biografiche dell’autore, ma anche di ricostruire, al di là di esse, l’atmosfera del regime comunista instauratosi in Romania nel secondo dopoguerra. Tanto il tema quanto la scrittura avvicinano a Alexandru Ivasiuc agli autori della celeberrima novela del dictador. Sopra un ingegnoso intreccio di realtà e immaginario, Ivasiuc proietta una parabola in cui il titolo, la struttura, l’architettura dei personaggi, lo spazio meta-geografico foggiano una rete di simboli che raffigurano un’antiutopia, svelando i meccanismi del potere totalitario. La letteratura diventa quindi una forma di delegittimazione, una critica e uno smascheramento dell’orrido volto del dittatore. Il triste vacillare dell’individuo termina con la sua metamorfosi e con il suo trapasso in un’altra dimensione, ma non prima di confidarci la sua penetrante riflessione sulla dittatura.

description: Colour filters based on nano-apertures in thin metallic films have been widely studied due to their extraordinary optical transmission and small size. These properties make them prime candidates for use in high-resolution colour displays and high accuracy bio-sensors. The inclusion of polarization sensitive plasmonic features in such devices allow additional control over the electromagnetic field distribution, critical for investigations of polarization induced phenomena. Here we demonstrate that cross-shaped nano-apertures can be used for polarization controlled color tuning in the visible range and apply fundamental theoretical models to interpret key features of the transmitted spectrum. Full color transmission was achieved by fine-tuning the periodicity of the apertures, whilst keeping the geometry of individual apertures constant. We demonstrate this effect for both transverse electric and magnetic fields. Furthermore we have been able to demonstrate the same polarization sensitivity even for nano-size, sub-wavelength sets of arrays, which is paramount for ultra-high resolution compact colour displays.

description: The exploration of dimensional crossover carries profound fundamental significance, serving as a crucial bridge in comprehending the remarkable disparities observed in transitional phenomena across the two distinct dimensions of a physical system. The prevalent strategy for manipulating the dimensionality involves meticulously controlling the external trapping geometry, thereby restricting the degrees of freedom of the kinetic energy from three-dimensional (3D) to lower-dimensional spaces, while maintaining the 3D nature of the interaction energy degrees of freedom. The aim of this work is to introduce an innovative scenario to achieve dimensional crossover, characterized by lower-D nature of both the kinetic and the interaction energy degrees of freedom. To accomplish this objective, we delve deeply into the realm of a 2D optically trapped Bose gas, focusing specifically on its finite-range interaction. Our emphasis lies in exploring the lattice-induced dimensional crossover from full 3D to 1D in both kinetic and interaction terms. Utilizing the functional path integral method, we derive the equation of states of the model system, encompassing crucial quantities such as the ground state energy and quantum depletion. These equations enable us to analyze the combined effects of finite range interaction and an optical lattice on quantum fluctuations of the BEC system. Notably, our analytical findings reconcile the Lee-Huang-Yang (LHY) correction to the ground state energy in 3D and Lieb-Liniger (LL) ones in 1D limit, thereby providing fresh insights into the intriguing disparities between LHY and LL corrections.

Una action novel en centroamérica: El arma en el hombre de Horacio Castellanos Moya
Creators: name: Pezzè, Andrea
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi RomaTre
Year: 2014

description: El presente trabajo se propone el análisis de la novela El arma en el hombre del escritor salvadoreño Horacio Castellanos Moya con un dúplice objetivo: primero, rastrear las dinámicas de representación y desenmascaramiento de la violencia oculta del poder institucional que se ha afirmado posteriormente a las guerras sucias; segundo, detectar las modalidades de apropriación de un género típicamente norteamericano (más bien hollywoodiano) en una tradición literaria ajena a su desarrollo. Se propone, a través de los estudios de Ricardo Piglia, una lectura de la teoría del complot – tema reiterado en la literatura hispanoamericana – articulada a raiz de una forma de la expresión que no es muy usada en la literatura en general y más aún en la literatura hispanoamericana.

Energy Ontology and Temporalized Correlation: A New Paradigm for Understanding Structural Information Transfer and Dynamic Function
Creators: name: Felix, Cui
Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Energy Ontology, Temporalized Information, Structural Information, Diffuse Space, Self-organization, Structured Energy Flow, Dynamic Function, Super-Spatial Correlation,Hydrogen Bond Network

description: Current mainstream science, largely based on matter ontology and reductionist methodology, faces significant challenges in fundamentally explaining the integrity and dynamics of complex systems, deep relationships between fundamental entities, cognitive processes like memory, the efficiency of artificial intelligence, and phenomena in fundamental physics such as the Uncertainty Principle and quantum entanglement. This paper proposes an entirely new multi-layered theoretical framework centered on energy ontology and a macro-to-micro determination, departing fundamentally from the matter-centric view by considering energy as the primary entity and time as its intrinsic attribute. Space corresponds to matter, viewed as a special condensed form of energy and discrete time blocks. The framework posits a universal cosmic time system and emphasizes macro and micro consistency across all scales, introducing Time as a Spatial Node as a fundamental principle organizing reality through dynamic patterns. It also suggests fundamental, pervasive uncertainty inherent in the energy ontology.

Using the deconstruction of food through cooking in water as a paradigm, the paper elucidates a temporalized structural information transfer mechanism. Information, defined as the pattern formed by the structured flow of energy in time and space, is released from material structure's spatial correlation during cooking and transformed within water's dynamic hydrogen bond network (the temporal dimension) into temporal patterns (non-spatial correlation). This process forms structured energy flow, acting as bridges for Dynamic Functions and super-spatial correlations in receiving self-organizing systems. This mechanism provides new perspectives on life integrity, non-local biological effects, and medicinal plant actions.

Crucially, the theory offers novel explanations and insights for diverse phenomena: it interprets quantum uncertainty as pervasive dynamism and quantum entanglement as super-spatial synchronization; provides a theoretical basis for memory (as time integration of temporal patterns), consciousness, and the concept of soul (as energy-information patterns); offers a new perspective on AI and computation by suggesting shared dynamic processing principles; and proposes a framework for understanding the intrinsic connections between science, culture, and religion as manifestations of fundamental natural dynamics. This paradigm shifts focus from static spatial structure to dynamic, temporal energy flow, offering a unified, potentially world-consistent cognitive system for exploring reality's interconnected nature across all scales.

La heterotopía del desaliento: espacio y poder en Teoría de las catástrofes de Tryno Maldonado
Creators: name: Íñiguez, Edgardo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi RomaTre
Year: 2014

description: En Teoría de las catástrofes de Tryno Maldonado el espacio es una forma de ejercer el poder y de transmitir un saber específico. Este aspecto se manifiesta en los diferentes emplazamientos que ocupan los personajes de la novela. El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar cómo el apartamento, en tanto que espacio del adentro, muta en un instrumento de dominación y emplaza a los protagonistas de la novela, en primer término, en el espacio del afuera y, después, en una heterotopía de desviación, según la terminología de Michel Foucault. Este fenómeno se traduce en la impotencia y en la pérdida de las esperanzas por parte de los personajes frente a un poder ejercido.

The Mayor and the Comedian. Parody as a route to delegitimization
Creators: name: Poggi, Isabella
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi RomaTre
Year: 2014

description: The paper defines the notion of ridicule, discredit, and delegitimization in terms of a socio-cognitive model of communication, and proposes a definition of parody as a distorted imitation of a text, discourse, behavior or trait of a person performed in order to elicit laughter. Focusing on the parody of politicians as a way to discredit and possibly to delegitimize political opponents, a qualitative analysis is presented of the parody of a Mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, by the Italian comedian Max Paiella: the importance of allusion in parody is highlighted and the function of ridicule as a route to delegitimization is stressed.

title: Improving Vegetation and Background Discrimination from Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Fusion Using an Added Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) HSI Component

subject: Vegetation discrimination

description: An observation made with respect to reviewing previous work in this domain is that many authors do not include the use of shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands that are made available by some hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensor systems. This work will investigate the fusion of HSI and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data that will include the use of SWIR bands during the fusion process in order to better characterize, discriminate, map, detect, and possibly identify, background vegetation materials. Data for this project comes from an August 2008 collection over the Washington, DC National Arboretum using the Mapping Reflected Energy Spectrometer (MaRS) Visible Near Infrared and SWIR (VNIR/SWIR) HSI system, and also from an Optech 3100 ALTM LiDAR system. The two targets chosen for analysis were the American sweetgum tree and several trails (footpaths). The objective of this work is to run several data fusion experiments where LiDAR raster transformations are fused with VNIR-only, SWIR-only, and full VNIR/SWIR HSI data to investigate which combination of fusion methods are optimal under the given circumstances. In some cases, improvement in the American sweetgum tree detection and trails detection is noted when the SWIR HSI bands are included in the data fusion analysis.

description: Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is crucial for enabling computers to understand the emotions conveyed in human communication. With recent advancements in Deep Learning (DL), the performance of SER models has significantly improved. However, designing an optimal DL architecture requires specialised knowledge and experimental assessments. Fortunately, Neural Architecture Search (NAS) provides a potential solution for automatically determining the best DL model. The Differentiable Architecture Search (DARTS) is a particularly efficient method for discovering optimal models. This study presents emoDARTS, a DARTS-optimised joint CNN and Sequential Neural Network (SeqNN: LSTM, RNN) architecture that enhances SER performance. The literature supports the selection of CNN and LSTM coupling to improve performance.
 While DARTS has previously been used to choose CNN and LSTM operations independently, our technique adds a novel mechanism for selecting CNN and SeqNN operations in conjunction using DARTS. Unlike earlier work, we do not impose limits on the layer order of the CNN. Instead, we let DARTS choose the best layer order inside the DARTS cell. We demonstrate that emoDARTS outperforms conventionally designed CNN-LSTM models and surpasses the best-reported SER results achieved through DARTS on CNN-LSTM by evaluating our approach on the IEMOCAP, MSP-IMPROV, and MSP-Podcast datasets.
