description: For alloys containing a magnetic constituent, theory predicts that conventional magnetic ordering will vanish only in the limit of zero concentration of the magnetic component. This has been found to be untrue in neutron scattering and magnetization experiments on RE(,x)Sc(,1-x) (RE = Gd, Tb, Ho, and Er) alloys, and more recently in Mossbauer experiments on DySc alloys. Long-range order disappears at rather high rare earth concentrations (Gd - 15%, Tb - 25%, Ho - 18%, Er - 39%, and Dy - > 25%). When the ordering temperatures are plotted against the two-thirds power of the effective spin parameter (de Gennes factor), substantial deviations from linearity exist for RE - Sc alloys, while intra-rare earth alloys yield excellent agreement with the phenomenologically determined dependence. The Mossbauer studies indicated that for Dy concentrations of 25% or less, the magnetic hyperfine field was essentially constant, independent of either concentration or temperature, up to a temperature at which it abruptly vanished. For Dy concentrations of 50% or more, a conventional Brillouin function temperature dependence of the hyperfine field was found. This work was pursued as a complement to the Mossbauer studies, using the same source materials. Bulk magnetization measurements were made on Dy(,.25)Sc(,.75) and Dy(,.75)Sc(,.25) alloys. The Dy(,.25)Sc(,.75) alloy has the characteristics of a spin-glass material. When the sample is cooled in zero field the magnetization increases with temperature up to a maximum value at T(,sg), then decreases in the paramagnetic region when measured in low to moderate fields (0.1 to 10 kOe). When cooled in an applied field, the magnetization versus temperature behavior exactly reverses the warming curve down to the temperature at which the maximum magnetization was observed; the magnetization remains nearly constant below this temperature. The spin-glass transition temperature is found to be 27 K for this 25% Dy alloy. The Dy(,.75)Sc(,.25) alloy undergoes an antiferromagnetic transition at T(,N) = 118 K, and it behaves paramagnetically above this temperature. No spontaneous ferromagnetic ordering was observed down to 4.2 K; attempts to induce ferromagnetic ordering resulting in determinations of the critical field necessary to effect a ferromagnetic transition. The minimum field in which a ferromagnetic transition was observed was 13.5 kOe. The critical field increases as temperature decreases, in contrast to conventional behavior, and exhibits a further anomalous rise below 29 K. The helical spin structure occurring in several of the heavy rare earth metals is apparently stabilized by the presence of moderate concentrations of scandium in RE - Sc alloys.

description: This literature review strives to gain an overview of theoretical frameworks used to analyse antecedents as well as outcomes of relationship quality, which is a core construct of research into relational governance of industrial buyer-supplier relationships. Given earlier findings that there is a lack of research into the performance impacts of relationship management or relationship quality, a special focus was laid on studies which include different kinds of performance measures. Furthermore, methodological approaches taken by the various researchers are closely examined. We derive some conclusions as to the state of the art as well as to potential future avenues of research in the field of business-to-business relationships. While generally, more theoretical integration and a consolidation of measures would benefit the disciplines, it is found that few studies exist which measure relationship quality, its antecedents and outcomes in agri-food chains.

description: Background: Men’s Sheds are effective in engaging vulnerable or “hard-to-reach” subpopulations of men. However, attempts to engage Sheds in structured health promotion programs must respect the ethos of Sheds as highly variable, autonomous, non-structured spaces. “Sheds for Life” is a ten-week initiative that delivers targeted and tailored health promotion in the Sheds setting, positioning Men’s Shed members as central decision makers in its design and implementation. Physical activity is a core component of the intervention consisting of a weekly walking program or strength and mobility classes. Purpose: To evaluate SFL using an implementation science approach to assess program impact and implementation effectiveness with a view to enhancing its sustainability while informing gender-specific strategies that engage hard-to-reach men with health. Methods: This study uses hybrid typology “effectiveness-implementation” through the application of established implementation frameworks. A community-based participatory research, and mixed methods approach has been adopted to; measure the effects of the SFL intervention on Shedders across implementation phases and identify and monitor implementation barriers and facilitators that can inform sustainability of SFL. This research engages key stakeholders (at individual, provider and organizational levels), prioritizes implementation outcomes and assesses the generalizability of intervention effects. Purposive sampling is used to recruit a diverse sample of participants (Shedders n=420 and Stakeholders n=20) Results: Preliminary physical activity outcome results from phase one across four regions (baseline to ten weeks) suggest days active per week increased from 3.07 to 4.32 days (P=.00) days walking increased from 4.29 to 5.28 days ( P=.00) minutes walking per day increased from 33.31 to 38.15 ( P=.005). Conclusions: The Sheds offer a unique opportunity to engage a typically hard to reach group of men with health. They are an effective way of engaging inactive men with physical activity through utilizing gender-specific strategies alongside the social support and camaraderie offered within these settings.

description: This paper explores the opportunities for New Zealand to establish an internationally competitive sheep dairy industry. France is among the world leaders in sheep dairy production and therefore can offer valuable lessons to New Zealand in its early stages of development. Information was gathered through a literature search and several cases studies, where seven New Zealand and six French industry experts were interviewed. The strategic capabilities and structural forces of the sheep dairy industries in both France and New Zealand were compared. The study found that New Zealand sheep dairy (NZSD) industry should pursue a differentiation strategy that focuses on customer responsiveness, innovation and quality to achieve a competitive advantage. This study also identified that responsible Innovation is a critical factor for the NZSD industry to sustain a competitive advantage.

description: Background: Children from low-income families participate less often in physical activity than children from high-income families. In the Netherlands, cross-sectoral interventions were implemented to stimulate physical activity among children from poor families. Purpose: To get insight into the implementation and successfulness of these interventions with regard to increasing physical activity among the target group. Methods: Four interventions were studied during the two-year funded period. Group interviews were conducted one and two years after the start of the intervention with: 1) project coordinators and collaborating partners; 2) participating children; and 3) parents. The group interviews focused on implementation and reach of the intervention, involvement of parents, and factors influencing physical activity participation among the target group. Results: Interventions were often adapted to the local context. Furthermore, there was little collaboration with key figures in the neighborhood that were close to the target group. The target group was predominantly reached through providing physical activities at schools in low-income neighborhoods. Providing different physical activities and personal guidance, stimulated children’s participation. However, a lack of follow-up activities and a lack of parent involvement, hindered structural physical activity participation. Conclusions: The target group can be reached with physical activity interventions. To enhance intervention effectiveness, it is important to involve parents and to ensure suited follow-up activities are available. Also, collaborations with key figures in the neighborhood could help in attracting more participants. Finally, adaptations in interventions should be thoroughly monitored. Funding: This study was funded by ZonMw, The Netherlands.

description: Due to the asymptotic structure of the black hole solution, there are two different thermodynamic schemes for the charged Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole. In one scheme, the charged BTZ black hole is super-entropic, while in the other, it is not (the reverse isoperimetric inequality is saturated). In this paper, we investigate the thermodynamic curvature of the charged BTZ black hole in different coordinate spaces. We find that in both schemes, the thermodynamic curvature is always positive, which may be related to the information of repulsive interaction between black hole molecules for the charged BTZ black hole if we accept an empirical relationship between the thermodynamic curvature and interaction of a system. More importantly, we provide a diagnosis for the discrimination of the two schemes from the point of view of the thermodynamics geometry. For the charged BTZ black hole, when the reverse isoperimetric inequality is saturated, the thermodynamic curvature of an extreme black hole tends to be infinity, while when the reverse isoperimetric inequality is violated, the thermodynamic curvature of the extreme black hole goes to a finite value.

description: Background: Childhood hypertension drives hypertension in later life; hence, assessing blood pressure in children is an important measure to determine current and future cardiovascular health. There is, however, a paucity of childhood blood pressure data, particularly for sub-Saharan Africa. Purpose: This study explores blood pressure and associations with age, sex, socioeconomic status, physical activity, fitness, and cardiovascular risk markers. Methods: In the ‘Disease, Activity and Schoolchildren’s Health’ (DASH) study, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted in disadvantaged neighbourhoods in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Assessments included blood pressure, accelerometer-measured physical activity, physical fitness, and cardiovascular risk markers. Results: The study consisted of 785 children (383 boys, 402 girls, M = 12.4±0.9 years). Overall, 18% of the children were classified as hypertensive, while 20% were either overweight/obese, and almost four out of ten children did not meet global daily physical activity recommendations. Hypertensive children were more likely to be overweight/obese, χ2 (2,785) = 14.42, p < 0.01, but only if they did not meet physical activity recommendations, χ2 (2,295) = 11.93, p < 0.01 (Figure 1). Conclusion: Considering the moderating effect which sufficient activity has on the relationship between hypertension and body weight, more emphasis should be placed on holistic early primary health intervention and education strategies. Funding: This work was conducted within the scope of the Swiss-South African Joint Research Programme, jointly funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the National Research Foundation of South Africa. The cross-sectional study was further supported by the Novartis Foundation (Basel, Switzerland).

description: Using household-level data from consumer expenditure surveys, this paper examines the dynamics of nutritional insecurity, for both rural and urban populations at all-India level and across states. In 1993-94, about 61 per cent of the rural and 54 per cent of the urban population was calorie deficient. In 2011-12, the prevalence of calorie deficient rural population increased by 5.2 percentage points, and urban population by about 1.5 percentage points. Across income classes, we observe incidence of calorie deficiency declining with an increase in income, but it also exists even among the rich households. Comparatively, the prevalence of protein deficiency is less severe. The spatial patterns of nutritional insecurity show a higher prevalence of calorie deficiency in states with lower incidence of poverty. Further, we find little, if any, evidence of a change in regional patterns of inequality in nutritional insecurity in the past two decades.

description: The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of VSSe, VSeTe, VSTe monolayers in both 2H and 1T phases are investigated via first-principles calculations. The 2H phase is energetically favorable in VSSe and VSeTe, whereas the 1T phase is lower in energy in VSTe. For V-based Janus monolayers in the 2H phase, calculations of the magnetic anisotropy show an easy-plane for the magnetic moment. As such, they should not exhibit a ferromagnetic phase transition, but instead, a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. A classical XY model with nearest-neighbor coupling estimates critical temperatures (T$_{BKT}$) ranging from 106 K for VSSe to 46 K for VSTe.

Cosmic Star Formation: Constraints on the Galaxy Formation Models

description: We study the evolution of the cosmic star formation by computing the luminosity density (LD) in the UV, B, J, and K bands, and the stellar mass density (MD) of galaxies in two reference models of galaxy evolution: the pure luminosity evolution (PLE) model developed by Calura & Matteucci (2003) and the semi-analytical model (SAM) of hierarchical galaxy formation by Menci et al. (2002). The former includes a detailed description of the chemical evolution of galaxies of different morphological types with no density evolution; the latter includes the merging histories of the galactic DM haloes, as predicted by the hierarchical clustering scenario, but it does not contain morphological classification nor chemical evolution. We find that at z< 1.5 both models are consistent with the available data on the LD of galaxies in all the considered bands. At high z, the LDs predicted in the PLE model show a peak due to the formation of ellipticals, whereas the SAM predicts a gradual decrease of the star formation and of the LD for z> 2.5. At such redshifts the PLE predictions tend to overestimate the present data in the B band whereas the SAM tends to underestimate the observed UV LD. As for the stellar MD, the PLE picture predicts that nearly 50% and 85% of the present stellar mass are in place at z=4 and z=1, respectively. According to the SAM, 50% and 60% of the present stellar mass are in place at z=1.2 and z=1, respectively. Both predictions fit the observed MD up to z=1. At z>1, the PLE model and the SAM tend to overestimate and underestimate the observed values, respectively. We discuss the origin of the above model results, and the role of observational uncertainties (such as dust extinction) in comparing models with observations.

description: Quantum resource theories (QRTs) provide a unified theoretical framework for understanding inherent quantum-mechanical properties that serve as resources in quantum information processing, but resources motivated by physics may possess intractable mathematical structure to analyze, such as non-uniqueness of maximally resourceful states, lack of convexity, and infinite dimension. We investigate state conversion and resource measures in general QRTs under minimal assumptions to figure out universal properties of physically motivated quantum resources that may have such intractable mathematical structure. In the general setting, we prove the existence of maximally resourceful states in one-shot state conversion. Also analyzing asymptotic state conversion, we discover catalytic replication of quantum resources, where a resource state is infinitely replicable by free operations. In QRTs without assuming uniqueness of maximally resourceful states, we formulate the tasks of distillation and formation of quantum resources, and introduce distillable resource and resource cost based on the distillation and the formation, respectively. Furthermore, we introduce consistent resource measures that quantify the amount of quantum resources without contradicting the rate of state conversion even in QRTs with non-unique maximally resourceful states. Progressing beyond the previous work showing a uniqueness theorem for additive resource measures, we prove the corresponding uniqueness inequality for the consistent resource measures; that is, consistent resource measures of a quantum state take values between the distillable resource and the resource cost of the state. These formulations and results establish a foundation of QRTs applicable to mathematically intractable but physically motivated quantum resources in a unified way.

description: Background: Stroke survivors are at risk of physical activity decline and psychosocial factors have been linked with this. Purpose: Aim of this study was to determine association between selected psychosocial factors and physical activity among stroke survivors in Ibadan, Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey. Fifty-five stroke survivors were recruited from Physiotherapy clinics in three hospitals in Ibadan, Oyo State. Nigeria. Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD) was used to obtain information about physical activity of stroke survivors. Fatigue severity scale and Hospital anxiety and depression scale were used to collect data on level of fatigue, anxiety and depression respectively. Descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and percentages were used to summarize socio-demographic data. Spearman rank-order correlation was used to determine association between psychosocial factors and physical activity among stroke survivors. Results: Participants’ mean age was 61.18±11.73 years. Thirty -eight (69.1%) participants were males and 26 (47.3%) participants had tertiary education qualification. A significant negative association was observed between age, depression, fatigue and physical activity among stroke survivors (r=-0.379, p=0.008; r= -0.370, p= 0.006; p = -0.277, p= 0.049) respectively. Conclusions: There is a significant negative association between age, depression, fatigue and physical activity of stroke survivors. A holistic approach should be adopted in the management of stroke survivors and special attention should be paid to onset of depression and fatigue. Funding: The fund for this research work was provided by the researchers.

description: The nearby Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal (UMi dSph) is one of the most dark matter dominated galaxies known, with a central mass to light ratio roughly equal to 70. Somewhat anomalously, it appears to contain morphological substructure in the form of a second peak in the stellar number density. It is often argued that this substructure must be transient because it could not survive for the > 10 Gyr age of the system, given the crossing time implied by UMi's 8.8 km/s internal velocity dispersion. In this paper, however, we present evidence that the substructure has a cold kinematical signature, and argue that UMi's clumpiness could indeed be a primordial artefact. Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate that substructure is incompatible with the cusped dark matter haloes predicted by the prevailing Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm, but is consistent with an unbound stellar cluster sloshing back and forth within the nearly harmonic potential of a cored dark matter halo. Thus CDM appears to disagree with observation at the least massive, most dark matter dominated end of the galaxy mass spectrum.

description: We review two powerful methods to test the Gaussianity of the cosmic microwave background (CMB): one based on the distribution of spherical wavelet coefficients and the other on smooth tests of goodness-of-fit. The spherical wavelet families proposed to analyse the CMB are the Haar and the Mexican Hat ones. The latter is preferred for detecting non-Gaussian homogeneous and isotropic primordial models containing some amount of skewness or kurtosis. Smooth tests of goodness-of-fit have recently been introduced in the field showing some interesting properties. We will discuss the smooth tests of goodness-of-fit developed by Rayner and Best for the univariate as well as for the multivariate analysis.

description: Objective: To analyze the University of British Columbia’s (UBC) boot-camp webpage in order to determine how it can be improved such that it encourages higher rates of participation by students at the University of British Columbia. Study Design: This project recruited undergraduate students (n = 23) to navigate and experience the University of British Columbia’s boot-camp webpage and subsequently answer online survey questions regarding ease of navigability, level of credibility, flow, colour scheme, feelings of sociability, desire to enroll, and visual design appeal. Survey responses were answered using a Likert scale and analyzed via the UBC’s Qualtrics survey software where they were given a score out of 5 with 3 considered as a 0 value (neutral). Survey responses were categorized into four thematic categories: navigability and accessibility, website design and content, credibility and informativity, and provided services. Results: Of the 23 responses, 54.5% said the website was moderately easy to navigate, 13.6% found it moderately difficult, and 31.9% found the website to be neither easy nor difficult to navigate. The first thematic category: navigability and accessibility (3.49) was scored slightly above neutral while the language accessibility and appropriateness elicited the greatest response from participants (4.21). Website design and content (3.43) was also slightly above neutral with participants stating that feelings of social connectivity and warmth regarding the websites layout was rated the lowest aspect of this category (2.88). Provided services (3.43) was statistically the same as website design. Participants indicated that the website catered mainly to beginners (3.96), less so to intermediate (3.42), and the least to advanced practitioners (2.92). Credibility and informativity (3.88) was viewed as the strength of the website. The participants agree that the instructors appeared both qualified and knowledgeable (4.00) and friendly and socially inviting (4.21). Conclusion: In order to increase student participation by improving the boot-camp webpage, UBC needs to make improvements to navigability, color scheme and visual layout, facilitate social connectivity and warmth through their webpage, and modify the webpage to cater more to advanced practitioners.

description: Background: Growing evidence suggests that improved cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can largely attenuate the adverse effects of excessive adiposity. However, the most effective exercise prescription to improve CRF, anthropometry and other metabolic risk factors in women living with obesity remains unknown. Purpose: To assess the efficacy of different exercise interventions on these outcomes and determine the optimal exercise prescription to improve the metabolic health of this population. Methods: A systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) published between January 1988 to October 2020 was conducted. The RCTs were screened using the inclusion criteria: 1) participants: women, aged 18 -65 years, with a BMI>30kg.m-2 without co-morbidities; 2) intervention: exercise; 3) comparison: non-intervention control; 4) outcomes: measures: CRF (VO2max), anthropometry (i.e. body weight, percentage body fat) and/or metabolic measures (i.e. blood pressure, cholesterol). Results: 20 RCTs with a total of 2062 participants were included. While the results show that any form of exercise is more effective than control, improvements in fitness and anthropometry are modest. Aerobic exercise (vigorous and moderate intensity) appeared most promising for improving fitness and body weight, while low-load resistance training resulted in the largest improvements in body fatness. Conclusions: In women living with obesity, aerobic exercise was consistently effective in improving fitness and anthropometrics. Though both resistance training and combined exercise interventions appear promising, more research is needed to evaluate their efficacy and determine an optimal exercise prescription for this population.

description: We review recent works on the possibility for eternal existence of thin-shell wormholes on Einstein and Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We introduce thin-shell wormholes that are categorized into a class of traversable wormhole solutions. After that, we discuss stable thin-shell wormholes with negative-tension branes in Reissner-Nordström-(anti) de Sitter spacetimes in $d$ dimensional Einstein gravity. Imposing $Z_2$ symmetry, we construct and classify traversable static thin-shell wormholes in spherical, planar and hyperbolic symmetries. It is found that the spherical wormholes are stable against spherically symmetric perturbations. It is also found that some classes of wormholes in planar and hyperbolic symmetries with a negative cosmological constant are stable against perturbations preserving symmetries. In most cases, stable wormholes are found with the appropriate combination of an electric charge and a negative cosmological constant. However, as special cases, there are stable wormholes even with a vanishing cosmological constant in spherical symmetry and with a vanishing electric charge in hyperbolic symmetry. Subsequently, the existence and dynamical stability of traversable thin-shell wormholes with electrically neutral negative-tension branes is discussed in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory of gravitation. We consider radial perturbations against the shell for the solutions, which have the $Z_2$ symmetry. The effect of the Gauss-Bonnet term on the stability depends on the spacetime symmetry.

Proximity-induced magnetization in graphene: Towards efficient spin gating

description: Gate-tunable spin-dependent properties could be induced in graphene at room temperature through magnetic proximity effect by placing it in contact with a metallic ferromagnet. Because strong chemical bonding with the metallic substrate makes gating ineffective, an intervening passivation layer is needed. Previously considered passivation layers result in a large shift of the Dirac point away from the Fermi level, so that unrealistically large gate fields are required to tune the spin polarization in graphene. We show that a monolayer of Au or Pt used as the passivation layer between Co and graphene brings the Dirac point closer to the Fermi level. In the \Co/\Pt/\Gr system the proximity-induced spin polarization in graphene and its gate control are strongly enhanced by the presence of a surface band near the Fermi level. Furthermore, the shift of the Dirac point could be eliminated entirely by selecting submonolayer coverage in the passivation layer. Our findings open a path towards experimental realization of an optimized two-dimensional system with gate-tunable spin-dependent properties.

description: Experimentally observed heaviest $N \approx Z$ nuclei, Ru isotopes, are investigated by the shell model on a spherical basis with the extended $P+QQ$ Hamiltonian. The energy levels of all the Ru isotopes can be explained by the shell model with a single set of force parameters. The calculations indicate enhancement of quadrupole correlations in the $N=Z$ nucleus $^{88}$Ru as compared with the other Ru isotopes, but the observed moments of inertia seem to require much more enhancement of quadrupole correlations in $^{88}$Ru. It is discussed that the particle alignment takes place at $8^+$ in $^{90}$Ru but is delayed in $^{88}$Ru till $16^+$ where the simultaneous alignments of proton and neutron pairs take place. The calculations present interesting predictions for $^{89}$Ru that the ground state is the $1/2^-$ state and there are three $ΔJ=2$ bands with different particle alignments including the T=0 $p-n$ pair alignment.

description: Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) increases during cancer treatment, which may have deteriorating effects on long-term health. Few studies exploring patients' experience of SB during neo- or adjuvant cancer treatment have been conducted, and this information may be crucial in developing effective support for patients to reduce SB. Purpose: To explore the lived experiences of SB in patients undergoing neo- or adjuvant cancer treatment and to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Individual interviews were conducted with patients undergoing treatment for breast, prostate and colorectal cancer recruited from the oncological department of a university hospital in Sweden. Interviews were analyzed phenomenologically and results presented as descriptions of the phenomenon SB. Results: Preliminary results are that patients describe SB by depicting physical activity and awareness of its health benefits. Also, being inactive or sedentary is stigmatized. The type and phase of treatment, life circumstances (COVID-19 pandemic, sick leave) as well as motivation, social support, and self-image can impact SB during treatment. Conclusions: The results indicate that SB is difficult for patients to discern. This suggests that SB is an unimplemented concept in the cancer context and needs to be addressed in a way that does not stigmatize patients. The COVID-19 pandemic had both negative and positive impacts on SB for these patients. Furthermore, developing support that targets periods with more side-effects and helping patients reduce SB throughout changed life circumstances may be helpful. Funding: The Swedish cancer society.

description: The isoholonomic problem in a homogeneous bundle is formulated and solved exactly. The problem takes a form of a boundary value problem of a variational equation. The solution is applied to the optimal control problem in holonomic quantum computer. We provide a prescription to construct an optimal controller for an arbitrary unitary gate and apply it to a $ k $-dimensional unitary gate which operates on an $ N $-dimensional Hilbert space with $ N \geq 2k $. Our construction is applied to several important unitary gates such as the Hadamard gate, the CNOT gate, and the two-qubit discrete Fourier transformation gate. Controllers for these gates are explicitly constructed.
