Peroxide Subjectivity and the Love of (Knowing) The End
Creators: name: Blackett, Emma
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2023

description: This article thinks about the politics of celebrating apocalypse via ambivalent comedy. It offers a theory of “peroxide subjectivity,” which riffs off of Lauren Berlant’s (2017) work on “combover subjectivity.” There, Berlant describes the universal condition of having to present to the world a cleaned-up version of the self, all proverbial baldness covered over: that is, all existential contradiction, such as the knowledge of death, concealed as if resolved. This condition is typically what Berlant calls a “humorless comedy,” humorless because our very recognition in the social relies on it, and because we are typically ashamed of what we cover. But this essay considers a version of combover subjectivity which has become funny because the subject in question has dropped her shame in an embrace of existential doom on personal, political, and planetary scales. Taking musician Phoebe Bridgers as a primary example, I dub this version peroxide subjectivity, bleach being corrosive and thus void-exposing, in contrast to the combover. The essay considers peroxide subjectivity chiefly as a mode of relating to apocalypse. I critique it as a mode common to a white millennial feminist suspended between a recognition of her complicity in world-ending structures and a lack of political language that is not premised on the kind of innocence named by the contemporary term 'virtue-signaling,' and which Wendy Brown captured in her 1993 work on “wounded attachments.” I argue that the peroxide subject responds to this problem by exposing her woundedness alongside her fault—experienced as a contradiction—and, by extension, welcoming apocalypse as past, present, and future unfoldings denied by her conservative milieu.

description: A new modified string-inspired modular invariant supergravity model is proposed and is applied to realize the slow roll inflation in Einstein frame. Because inflation deals with Planck scale physics, the dilaton can be a strong candidate for identification with the inflaton. The model we used, cleared the $η$-problem and negative energy problem of potential at stable point, and appeared to predict successfully the values of observations at the inflation era. We proved that the model explains WMAP observations appropriately. Moreover, a mechanism of SSB and Gravitino production just after the end of inflation is investigated. We have obtained power spectrum of the density perturbation as $\mathcal{P_R}_* \sim 2.438 \times 10^{-9}$ and the scalar spectral index as $n_{s*}\sim 0.9746$ and its tilt as $α_{s*}\sim -4.3 \times 10^{-4}$. The ratio between scalar power spectrum and tensor is predicted as $r\sim 6.8 \times 10^{-2}$, a prediction which seems in the range possibly observed by the Planck satellite soon. The gravitino mass and their production rate from scalar fields are estimated at certain values of parameters in the model. The reheating temperature is estimated by the stability condition of Boltzmann equation by using the decay rate of the dilaton S into gauginos as $T_R({\rm gaugino}) = 3.88 \times 10^{7} \,\, {\rm GeV}$. Though only one example of parameter choices has been discussed here, the other seven candidates of parameter choices that are compatible with WMAP data have already been found by the authors. Some of the examples show that the gauginos can be observed by LHC experiments. The plausible supergravity model of inflation which here we described will open the hope to construct a realistic theory of particle theory and cosmology in this framework.

description: Although prospective logistic regression is the standard method of analysis for case-control data, it has been recently noted that in genetic epidemiologic studies one can use the ``retrospective'' likelihood to gain major power by incorporating various population genetics model assumptions such as Hardy-Weinberg-Equilibrium (HWE), gene-gene and gene-environment independence. In this article we review these modern methods and contrast them with the more classical approaches through two types of applications (i) association tests for typed and untyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and (ii) estimation of haplotype effects and haplotype-environment interactions in the presence of haplotype-phase ambiguity. We provide novel insights to existing methods by construction of various score-tests and pseudo-likelihoods. In addition, we describe a novel two-stage method for analysis of untyped SNPs that can use any flexible external algorithm for genotype imputation followed by a powerful association test based on the retrospective likelihood. We illustrate applications of the methods using simulated and real data.

From Techno-Hope to Vertigo-Trip:
Creators: name: Vieira Rodrigues, Inês
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2023

description: One of the smallest islands of the Azorean archipelago, Santa Maria, located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, has been particularly noticed following the relatively recent news of the construction of a European Space Agency facility with the capacity to launch minisatellites from 2023 onwards. In this context, to imagine that ‘we can be astronauts’ launching from Santa Maria’s spaceport directs to the main purpose of this article: to engage with infrastructural space exploration materiality as an object of concern; through the lens of the techno-hope concept, here conceived as a successful apparatus behind the desire for a Spaceship Island. To reflect on Santa Maria as an example of a ‘shortened vision,’ what the overview suggests is that the political-technical imaginary envisaged for the island disguises the absence of a project for the actual inhabiting realm; thus, for life in the ‘terrestrial’ reality. Therefore, this article aspires to be an invitation for ‘being-in.’ In this direction, an apocalyptic scenario or, as an alternative, a vertigo-trip possibility, might come in the aftermath of the achievement of the political tool of techno-hope. Essentially, the techno-hope apparatus might emerge as an eventual revelation, evidencing the loss of terrestrial coordinates, or, rather, an utter detachment from the ground. In other words, this is an incitement to think beyond the end of the world seen from an island.

Lucy’s Apocalypse:
Creators: name: Ram, Bren
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2023

description: The study of apocalypse stands to gain much from literary perspectives because imaginative narrativizing, or the practice of arranging events into temporal relationships with one another, is necessary for understanding what is meant by ‘end’ (as in ‘the end of the world’). However, narratology—the study of narrative—has a troubling tendency to misrecognize this temporal arrangement as the sole meaning-bearer when it comes to plot. In this article, I make the case for a new understanding of narrative, centering 'apocalypse' as an imaginative practice. Using Jamaica Kincaid’s Lucy (1990) as a case study, I suggest that, instead of seeking universal narratological laws about worlds and their endings, apocalypse studies would benefit from an understanding of apocalypses as local and historically informed. Colonialism as a world-ending practice creates poetic and aesthetic constraints which necessitate a non-universalizable understanding of apocalypse as a condition that is visited upon people unevenly. Drawing on Caribbean thought, narratology, and recent work in apocalypse studies, I read Lucy to show how it is possible for a narrative to be post-apocalyptic without belonging to the genre of speculative fiction; with colonization acting as the apocalyptic event. Such a practice of reading will help clarify what is meant by 'the end of the world' and make it possible to understand how 'apocalypse' functions even in situations and stories that are not about disasters and cataclysms. Finally, I suggest that reading practices that center apocalyptic poetics bear decolonial possibilities in their unsettling of White, imperial futurity.

Patient-ventilator asynchrony : effects on diaphragm structure and function
Creators: name: Francis, Colin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: It is established that mechanical ventilation (MV), depending on mode and length of ventilation, influences diaphragm structure and function, and by extension, may influence outcomes. Patient–ventilator asynchrony imposes an additional burden on the respiratory system and may increase the morbidity of critically ill patients. The asynchrony index (AI) is used to quantify patient-ventilator asynchrony. An AI > 10% is associated with higher intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality and longer duration of MV when compared to patients with an AI ≤ 10%, suggesting that this phenomenon plays an important role in clinical outcomes and potentially ICU mortality. We proposed to investigate the impact of patient-ventilator asynchrony on diaphragm structure and function, and determine how this may influence outcomes in critically ill patients. Methodology: Patients were eligible for inclusion as soon as they were admitted to the ICU and intubated with an expectation of invasive MV for more than 48 hours. On inclusion, a waveform analysis software tethered to the MV continuously recorded airflow, airway pressure and tidal volume from admission until liberation from the ventilator, transfer out of the ICU or death, whichever occurred first. Data acquisition commenced immediately and surrogate decision makers were contacted as soon as was feasible to obtain ongoing consent for participation. The software calculated AI for each patient. We calculated diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) using measurements from ultrasound images of the right hemidiaphragm. DTF was used as a surrogate for diaphragm strength of contraction. We correlated AI with DTF, change in diaphragm thickness and ventilator days to investigate how AI influenced patient outcomes. Conclusion: Low level of diaphragm activity in deeply sedated MV patients is associated with high incidence of asynchrony, longer ICU stay and increased mortality. Ineffective effort (IE) is the most frequently occurring asynchronous event in all modes of MV, and is associated with higher incidence of asynchrony, mortality, greater number of ventilator days and longer ICU stay. A DTF of ≥ 11% allows for preservation of diaphragm thickness in CMV. Titrating sedation and ventilator settings to achieve greater diaphragm activity may reduce AI and improve patient outcomes.
How to upload a physical state to the correlation space

description: In the framework of the computational tensor network [D. Gross and J. Eisert, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf98}, 220503 (2007)], the quantum computation is performed in a virtual linear space which is called the correlation space. It was recently shown [J. M. Cai, W, Dür, M. Van den Nest, A. Miyake, and H. J. Briegel, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf103}, 050503 (2009)] that a state in the correlation space can be downloaded to the real physical space. In this letter, conversely, we study how to upload a state from a real physical space to the correlation space being motivated by the virtual-real hybrid quantum information processing. After showing the impossibility of the cloning of a state between the real physical space and the correlation space, we propose a simple teleportation-like method of the upload. Applications of this method also enable the Gottesman-Chuang gate teleportation trick and the entanglement swapping in the virtual-real hybrid setting. Furthermore, compared with the inverse of the downloading method by Cai, et. al., which also works as the upload, our uploading method has several advantages.

description: I use Anne Washburn’s Mr. Burns: a Post-Electric Play (2013) to explore the ways in which contemporary social structures—generally pop culture and specifically entertainment—operate much like the historical, political, and religious structures of prophecy and apocalypse but, in these forms, explode the bottom of the U-shaped jeremiad and propel their characters into an abyss of ‘bottomless memory’ and society as abjection, using Julia Kristeva’s formulation of the term; that is, these social structures have denied the characters in Mr. Burns access to the new future the jeremiad promises. Key to this reading is the concept of the jeremiad as a narrative structure of apocalypse and prophecy that brings the past into contact with both present and future and imaginings of wilderness as both a space of renewal and risk. I consider the place of self/subject and the role of art/literature in the tensions among the stories of the past, the realities of the present, and the unknowns of the future.

description: We study the so-called signed discrete Choquet integral (also called non-monotonic discrete Choquet integral) regarded as the Lovász extension of a pseudo-Boolean function which vanishes at the origin. We present axiomatizations of this generalized Choquet integral, given in terms of certain functional equations, as well as by necessary and sufficient conditions which reveal desirable properties in aggregation theory.
Towards a Contemporary Poetics of Nonfiction about Disasters
Creators: name: Loddo, Mariarosa
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2023

description: In order to assess which role catastrophe plays in contemporary literary nonfiction, in this essay I examine four narrative texts dealing with different disasters: And the Band Played On (1987) by Randy Shilts, Chernobyl Prayer (1997) by Svetlana Alexievich, Underground (1997) by Haruki Murakami, and News on the Disaster (2001) by Roberto Alajmo. By adopting a narratological and comparative approach and identifying constants and commonalities underlying these texts, I make the case for a potential poetics of nonfiction about disasters. While I discuss characteristic plot features and alternative interpretations of catastrophe within the corpus, two main elements stand out in the analysis: first, the extreme events narrated make the authors compelled to declare their own ethical commitment and the methods and the means of their enterprise, usually relying on paratextual and metatextual inserts, which signal not only the sensitiveness of the topic and its resistance to verbalization, but also how this kind of life writing does not occupy a stable and acknowledged place in the literary panorama. Secondarily, although authors have tried to find their own original way to account for catastrophe through their works, they seem to inevitably choose the choral form as the best narrative structure to represent disasters: no point of view is privileged, there is no single hero, and the communal dimension is respected.

description: The possible existence of a light CP-odd Higgs state in many new-physics models could lead to observable effects in the bottomonium sector. Experimental bounds on radiative $Υ$ decays through such a pseudoscalar state and possible mixings with the $η_b^0$ states are reviewed. Combining these two effects, we set constraints on the properties of the CP-odd Higgs in the limit of small photon energy of $BR(Υ\toγ\,τ^+τ^-)$, that is on the pseudoscalar mass-range $\sim8-10$GeV.

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: The role and contribution of advanced nurse practitioners (ANP) has been well researched and found to be of great value for improving quality patient care and enhancing patient outcomes through education and health promotion. However, the role and the contribution of the ANP to gastroenterology nursing have not been evaluated either nationally or internationally. A review to determine the role and contribution of the ANP in gastroenterology nursing will inform on the contribution of the role and whether the role makes a difference to patient outcomes and cost effectiveness of patient care. Objective This review aims to investigate the nursing role and contribution of the advanced nurse practitioner in gastroenterology. Furthermore, improved understanding of the underlying causal mechanisms explaining how the ANP role in gastroenterology nursing works, will provide a deeper understanding of how, why, for whom and in what contexts the role and contribution of the ANP to gastroenterology nursing are most successful. Methodology A Realist Review will consolidate evidence on how, when, why and where the ANP role in gastroenterology works or fails through identifying programme theories underlying to the role’s introduction. The following steps will be operationalised; locating existing theories, searching the literature, documenting literature selection, engaging in data extraction and synthesis and refining programme theory. As an iterative approach, review cycles will uncover explanatory and contingent theories through context-mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOCc). Due to the variation in context and mechanisms, different outcomes will be likely across different clinical settings although similar patterns may be identified. Conclusion Due to the theory-oriented approach of Realist Reviews, the pragmatic consequences of the review, will lend itself to deeper understanding of how the role and contribution of the ANP in gastroenterology nursing works in practice.
The Chernobyl Herbarium, the Nuclear Sublime, and Progress After an End of the World
Creators: name: Spencer, Daniel G.
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2023

description: Philosopher Michael Marder and visual artist Anaïs Tondeur’s The Chernobyl Herbarium: Fragments of an Exploded Consciousness (2016) is a hybrid of philosophy, memoir, and visual art, aestheticizing the event and place of Chernobyl as an object of sublime reflection, and offering a creative-critical account of the notion of art’s utility after the end of the world instigated by the nuclear event. As an aesthetic project, TCH renders the futurity of the disaster as an ongoing process whose lack of finality or closure adopts the character of the sublime, mostly notably the Kantian formula of the sublime. Utilizing theories of the sublime—its assessment in Kant, Herder, and its contemporary influence in Morton’s Dark Ecology (2016)—this paper argues that the book has the ability to surpass the restrictions of the sublime formula, namely what is recognized by Marder as the sublime’s complicity in the nature of historical progress toward twentieth-century nuclear culture. The main goals of this article are to outline Marder’s philosophical reading of the sublime, to assess this reading through case studies of individual “artworks” or art-like objects found in the Chernobyl Zone, and to ultimately reassess the uncanny, lingering futurity of the nuclear event not as the ‘end of the world,’ but as progress toward a future aesthetic model in which humanity’s supposed rational hierarchy over nature is exchanged for the hesitant optimism of future ecological art.

description: We suggest the possibility to disentangle anisotropic flow, flow fluctuation, and nonflow using two-, four-, and six-particle azimuthal moments assuming Gaussian fluctuations. We show that such disentanglement is possible when the flow fluctuations are large, comparable to the average flow magnitude. When fluctuations are small, the disentanglement becomes difficult. We verify our results with a toy-model Monte Carlo simulation.

description: Given the implications of romantic love for well-being, it is pivotal to examine what will keep love alive or hold it back. This study explored perceived partner responsiveness (PPR), examining negative and positive communication processes through: (1) adversities (perceived partner support), (2) triumphs (capitalization), and (3) conflicts (accommodation) to disentangle their unique associations on relationship well-being and depressive symptoms for unmarried and married Malaysian relationships. PPR positively predicted relationship outcomes and depressive symptoms; however, PPR operated differently based on the partners' culture and relationship type. Conclusively, the perception of a partner’s understanding, validation, and care are integral to healthy relationships.
A CoGeNT confirmation of the DAMA signal

description: The CoGeNT collaboration has recently reported a rising low energy spectrum in their ultra low noise germanium detector. This is particularly interesting as the energy range probed by CoGeNT overlaps with the energy region in which DAMA has observed their annual modulation signal. We show that the mirror dark matter candidate can simultaneously explain both the DAMA annual modulation signal and the rising low energy spectrum observed by CoGeNT. This constitutes a model dependent confirmation of the DAMA signal and adds weight to the mirror dark matter paradigm.

The Scale of Apocalypse
Creators: name: Keller, Eliyahu
Publisher: name: Apocalyptica
Year: 2023

description: Created against the backdrop of an imminent nuclear confrontation, the architectural drawings and narratives authored by architect Paolo Soleri offer unique insights into the relationship between apocalyptic imagination, the invention of atomic weapons, and radical visions of future architecture. This paper examines Soleri’s architectural representations—including his less-known works created towards the end of the Cold War—theoretical writings, intellectual influences, personal letters and geography of operation, and places those within the nexus of a strictly American nuclear eschatology. Examined through this lens, Soleri’s visions do not offer a promised future for a humanity at stake. Rather, they expose the limits of architectural imagination in face of the unimaginable, and reveal the complicity of architecture, however speculative, in bringing about the end of the world.

description: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this report is to provide information on equipment, operating practices, costs, and other factors. Such material will enable farmer cooperatives and others to provide for their farmer patrons an effective and efficient bulk fertilizer and lime delivery and spreading service. In addition, it endeavors to point out effects and benefits, if any, of such a service in (1) lowering production costs, (2) reducing labor requirements of the farmer, (3) helping improve farm fertilization practices, and (4) facilitating more efficient fertilizer manufacturing plant operations. This report deals with the bulk distribution program of the Cooperative G.L.F. Exchange, Inc., Ithaca, N.Y. This organization, hereafter referred to as G.L.F., has distributed lime in bulk and spread it for patrons for some 20 years. It has been one of the pioneers in this field. Success with lime led to development of a bulk distribution program for fertilizer. Of special interest is the way in which lime spreading equipment has been adapted to the more exacting requirements of fertilizer spreading. Because of G.L.F. 's experience and its detailed and uniform operating records, a report on its bulk handling and spreading program should be of benefit to cooperatives and others throughout the United States interested in a bulk distribution service.

description: In recent years, many network perturbation techniques, such as topological perturbations and service perturbations, were employed to study and improve the robustness of complex networks. However, there is no general way to evaluate the network robustness. In this paper, we propose a new global measure for a network, the reconstructability coefficient θ, defined as the maximum number of eigenvalues that can be removed, subject to the condition that the adjacency matrix can be reconstructed exactly. Our main finding is that a linear scaling law, E[θ]=aN, seems universal, in that it holds for all networks that we have studied.

Hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus volumes in very preterm children at 8 years : neonatal pain and genetic variation
Creators: name: Bichin, Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Altered hippocampal morphology and reduced volumes have been found in children born preterm compared to full-term. Stress inhibits neurogenesis in the hippocampus, and neonatal stress/noxious stimulation in rodent pups are associated with long-term alterations in hippocampal volumes. We have previously shown reduced cortical thickness and cerebellar volumes in relation to more exposure to pain-related stress of neonatal invasive procedures in children born very preterm. We have reported targeted gene-by-pain environment interactions that contribute to long-term brain development and outcomes in this population. We now aim to determine whether exposure to neonatal pain-related stress (adjusted for clinical factors) deferentially impacts regional structures within the limbic system and thalamus and investigate relationships with outcomes in very preterm children. Our study included 57 children born very preterm (<32 weeks GA) followed longitudinally from birth who underwent 3-D T1 MRI neuroimaging at ~8 years. Hippocampal subfields and white matter tracts, thalamus and amygdala were automatically segmented using the MAGeT Brain algorithm. The relationship between those subcortical brain volumes (adjusted for total brain volume) and neonatal invasive procedures, gestational age (GA), illness severity, postnatal infection, days of mechanical ventilation, number of surgeries, morphine exposure, and genotype (COMT, SLC6A4, BDNF) was examined using constrained principal component analysis. We found that neonatal clinical factors and genotypes accounted for 46% of the overall variance in volumes of hippocampal subregions, tracts, basal ganglia, thalamus and amygdala. After controlling for clinical risk factors and total brain volume, greater neonatal invasive procedures were associated with lower volumes in the amygdala and thalamus (p = 0.0001) and an interaction with COMT genotype predicted smaller hippocampal subregional volume (p = 0.0001). More surgeries, days of ventilation, and lower GA were also related to smaller volumes in various subcortical regions (p < 0.002). These reduced volumes were in turn deferentially related to poorer cognitive, visual-motor and behavioral outcomes. Our findings highlight the complexity that interplays when examining how exposure to early-life stress may impact brain development both at the structural and functional level, and provide new insight on possible novel avenues of research to discover brain-protective treatments to improve the care of children born preterm.

RECOVERY OF INTEREST
Creators: name: Chengwei, Liu
Publisher: name: Nordic Journal of Commercial Law

description: It is noted that the modern institution of interest is deeply rooted in Roman Law,3 where it was a sum “due from a debtor who delayed or defaulted in repayment of a loan. The measure of the [amount] due for the default or delay was … the difference between the [claimant's] current position and what it would have been had the loan been timely and fully repaid.”4 In other words, the measure of interest due for the delay or default was id quod interest.5 In the modern world, interest generally acts as compensation for the loss of use of money.6 Interest is a sum paid or payable as compensation for the temporary withholding of money.7 The rationale for this practice was articulated by the United States Supreme Court in 1896:8 “It is a dictate of natural justice, and the law of every civilized country, that a man is bound in equity, not only to perform his engagements, but also to repair all the damages that accrue naturally from their breach … Every one who contracts to pay money on a certain day knows that, if he fails to fulfil his contract, he must pay the established rate of interest as damages for his non-performance. Hence it may correctly be said that such is the implied contract of the parties.” The following discussion will focus on the topic of interest in the application of CISG. There is good reason for this approach. First, from an economic point of view, interest is far from minor. The importance of this loss must not be understated.9 Second, a review of CISG decisions of the last decades clearly demonstrates that there are very few topics which have been of more than occasional practical importance, and among these, interest is one of the most important. Interest under CISG, is the issue most often treated by both courts and commentators.10

description: Several depressive symptoms can be challenging to observe and assess in adolescents with intellectual disability and depressive disorders are likely under-recognised. This thesis aimed to describe depressive disorder symptoms in adolescents with intellectual disability and evaluate existing checklists as potential screening measures. Parents of adolescents were interviewed about mental health symptoms and parents and teachers completed several checklists. The most frequently reported depressive symptoms and co-occurring symptoms and disorders were described. Screening algorithms for depressive disorders were developed using existing checklists. Parent-completed screening algorithms showed promise as effective screening measures to identify adolescents in need of assessment for depressive disorder.
Optimal weighted nearest neighbour classifiers

description: We derive an asymptotic expansion for the excess risk (regret) of a weighted nearest-neighbour classifier. This allows us to find the asymptotically optimal vector of nonnegative weights, which has a rather simple form. We show that the ratio of the regret of this classifier to that of an unweighted k-nearest neighbour classifier depends asymptotically only on the dimension d of the feature vectors, and not on the underlying populations. The improvement is greatest when d=4, but thereafter decreases as $d\rightarrow\infty$. The popular bagged nearest neighbour classifier can also be regarded as a weighted nearest neighbour classifier, and we show that its corresponding weights are somewhat suboptimal when d is small (in particular, worse than those of the unweighted k-nearest neighbour classifier when d=1), but are close to optimal when d is large. Finally, we argue that improvements in the rate of convergence are possible under stronger smoothness assumptions, provided we allow negative weights. Our findings are supported by an empirical performance comparison on both simulated and real data sets.
