Year: 2024

description: Objectives: The present work examined the surface conditions and various other physical properties of sterilised single-use stainless steel acupuncture needles from two of the most popular brands widely used in many countries. Methods: Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken for 10 randomly chosen needles from each brand. Further SEM images were taken after each of these needles underwent a standard manipulation with an acupuncture needling practice gel. A comparison of forces and torques during the needling process was also carried out. Results: The SEM images revealed significant surface irregularities and inconsistencies at the needle tips, especially for needles from one of the two brands. Metallic lumps and small, loosely attached pieces of material were observed on the surfaces of some needles. Some of the lumps and pieces of material seen on the needle surfaces disappeared after the acupuncture manipulation. If these needles had been used on patients, the metallic lumps and small pieces of material could have been deposited in human tissues, which could have caused adverse events such as dermatitis. Malformed needle tips might also cause other adverse effects including bleeding, haematoma/bruising, or strong pain during needling. An off-centre needle tip could result in the needle altering its direction during insertion and consequently failing to reach the intended acupuncture point or damaging adjacent tissues. Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for improved quality control of acupuncture needles, with a view to further enhancing the safety and comfort of acupuncture users.

description: To accelerate the transformation to a sustainable mobility system, we propose a causal loop diagram to better understand the dynamic behavior of policy interventions and trends. As such, we identified five core agents through a set of expert interviews. By utilizing concept maps and causal loop diagrams we further integrated subcomponents of each agent into a holistic and connected model, enabling the qualitative assessment of feedback loops. We use the example of battery electric vehicles and evaluate policy measures and trends on their potential impact on adoption. In addition, we set the causal loop diagram, trends and niche-innovations into the context of socio-economic system transformation to grasp the full potential in transforming the prevailing private, fossil fuel based, car regime providing recommendations to support this transformation. The causal loop diagram could serve as a basis for in-depth quantitative studies and deepened assessment of feedback loops in transforming mobility systems.

description: Melatonin, secreted mainly by the pineal gland, plays roles in various physiological functions including protecting cell death. We showed in previous study that the proliferation and differentiation of precursor cells from the adult mouse subventricular zone (SVZ) can be modulated by melatonin via the MT1 melatonin receptor. Since melatonin and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) share some signaling pathway components, we investigated whether melatonin can promote the proliferation of precursor cells from the adult mouse SVZ via the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase /mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) pathways in comparison with epidermal growth factor (EGF). Melatonin-induced ERK/MAPK pathways compared with EGF were measured by using in vitro and vivo models. We used neurosphere proliferation assay, immunocytochemistry, and immuno-blotting to analyze significant differences between melatonin and growth factor treatment. We also used specific antagonist and inhibitors to confirm the exactly signaling pathway including luzindole and U0126. We found that significant increase in proliferation was observed when two growth factors (EGF+bFGF) and melatonin were used simultaneously compared with EGF + bFGF or compared with melatonin alone. In addition, the present result suggested the synergistic effect occurred of melatonin and growth factors on the activating the ERK/MAPK pathway. This study exhibited that melatonin could act as a trophic factor, increasing proliferation in precursor cells mediated through the melatonin receptor coupled to ERK/MAPK signaling pathways. Understanding the mechanism by which melatonin regulates precursor cells may conduct to the development of novel strategies for neurodegenerative disease therapy.

description: This paper studies the finite-time consensus tracking control for multirobot systems. We prove that finite-time consensus tracking of multiagent systems can be achieved on the terminal sliding-mode surface. Also, we show that the proposed error function can be modified to achieve relative state deviation between agents. These results are then applied to the finite-time consensus tracking control of multirobot systems with input disturbances. Simulation results are presented to validate the analysis.

Befragungen zeigen, dass sie eine gute vegetarische und vegane Küche grundsätzlich für möglich halten. Hindernisse für eine bessere vegetarische und vegane Küche in der Gastronomie liegen gemäss den Befragungen hauptsächlich bei der geringen Akzeptanz des vegetarischen und veganen Lebensstils unter gastronomischen Fachkräften, bei der geringen Motivation der Küchenchefs und auch der Gäste, Koch- und Essgewohnheiten zu ändern und bei der Wahrnehmung von Menüverantwortlichen, dass nur wenige Gäste vegetarische und vegane Gerichte verlangen würden.

description: Purpose: Lebanon’s 2019‑2024 poly‑crisis devastated educators’ purchasing power; fresh‑dollar decrees in 2023‑2024 restored a livable wage, yet morale remained flat. This paper explores, through a purely qualitative lens, whether transformational leadership (TL) can address the non‑salary stressors that now dominate educators’ work lives in Lebanese educational NGOs.Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative critical‑interpretive synthesis (CIS) of 68 peer‑reviewed and grey documents (January 2023–March 2025) was undertaken. Texts included interview‑based studies, case narratives, policy briefs and NGO learning reports. Following Noblit and Hare (1988) meta‑ethnographic steps, first‑order (participant) and second‑order (author) constructs were re‑translated into overarching third‑order themes.Findings: Three interlocking wounds recur across the literature: capability anxiety (teachers narrate “tech shame” and fear of hybrid platforms), complexity overload (accounts of “Excel avalanches” and “audit‑visible reporting”), and purpose drift (staff speak of “mission ping‑pong” as donor KPIs rotate). In crisis settings from Nepal to Argentina, Transformational Leadership behaviors; especially risk‑sharing, vision narration and peer‑learning rituals appear to transform these wounds into sources of collective agency (Bass and Riggio, 2006; Cummings et al., 2018; Judge and Piccolo, 2004).Research limitations/implications: Although this study integrates a wide array of qualitative evidence; interview transcripts, focus-group narratives, case vignettes drawn from both published and unpublished sources, it did not include new primary fieldwork in Lebanese NGOs. Future research should complement this conceptual synthesis with in-situ ethnographic interviews and participant observation to test and refine the proposed Transformational Leadership micro-practice model.Practical implications: A five‑step, low‑cost Transformational Leadership (TL) for‑Learning‑Quality Toolkit is proposed; every practice is traceable to successful examples in the reviewed literature.Social implications: By investing in low-cost leadership routines, NGOs don’t just improve staff well-being—they safeguard the education of roughly 200 000 crisis-affected learners, ensuring that instability at the top doesn’t translate into chaos in the classroom.Originality/value: First qualitative synthesis to connect TL simultaneously to capability anxiety, complexity overload and purpose drift in Lebanon’s post‑pay‑correction NGO sector.

A current study looks at the multi-professional cooperation in order to clarify responsibilities and expectations. The results are based on interviews with two teachers and two social workers that were analysed by using hermeneutic sociology of knowledge. It becomes evident that the parental absence is used to legitimate the own profession. Informal learning settings, where the stakeholders need to act and think together beyond their traditional roles and where lines of responsibility are not as well-demarcated as in formal learning settings, the potential for conflict among the stakeholders is the greatest.

Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welches die handlungsleitenden Motive dieser beiden Professionen zu den jeweiligen pädagogischen Zuständigkeiten sind. Mit der Methodik der hermeneutischen Wissenssoziologie wurden Interviews mit je zwei Lehrerinnen und Sozialpädagoginnen ausgewertet. Die Befunde verweisen auf Mechanismen der Legitimierung beider Professionen, welche auf eine vermeintliche familiale Abwesenheit im erzieherischen Bereich gründet.

description: We propose that a superfluid with supersolidlike properties, i.e., angular stripe phase, can be realized in a pancakelike spin-1/2 Bose gas with spin-orbital-angular-momentum coupling. We predict a rich ground-state phase diagram, including the vortex-antivortex pair phase, the half-skyrmion phase, and two different angular stripe phases. The stripe phases feature a modulated angular density-density correlation with a sizable contrast and can occupy a relatively large parameter space. The low-lying collective excitations, such as the dipole and breathing modes, show distinct behaviors in different phases. The existence of the stripe phase is also clearly indicated in the energetic and dynamic instabilities of collective modes near phase transitions. Our predictions of the angular stripe phase could be readily examined in current cold-atom experiments with 87Rb and 41K.

Thermal destabilization of self-bound ultradilute quantum droplets

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 5108

description: We theoretically investigate the temperature effect in a Bose-Bose mixture with attractive inter-species interactions, in the regime where a self-bound ultradilute quantum droplet forms due to the subtle balance between the attractive mean-field force and the repulsive force provided by Lee-Huang-Yang quantum fluctuations. We find that in contrast to quantum fluctuations, thermal fluctuations destabilize the droplet state and completely destroy it above a threshold temperature. We show that the threshold temperature is determined by the intra-species interaction energy. For a three-dimensional Bose-Bose mixture, the threshold temperature is less than one-tenth of the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature under the typical experimental conditions. With increasing temperature, the droplet's equilibrium density gradually decreases and can be reduced by several tens of percent upon reaching the threshold temperature. We also consider a one-dimensional quantum droplet and find a similar destabilization effect due to thermal fluctuations. The threshold temperature in one dimension is roughly set by the binding energy of the inter-species dimer. The pronounced thermal instability of a self-bound quantum droplet predicted in our work could be examined in future experiments, by measuring the temperature dependence of its central density and observing its sudden disappearance at the threshold temperature.

Quantum fluctuations in a strongly interacting Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer polariton condensate at thermal equilibrium

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 5108

description: Microcavity electron-hole-photon systems in two dimensions have long been anticipated to exhibit a crossover from Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) to Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluid when the carrier density is tuned to reach the Mott transition density. Yet, a theoretical understanding of such a BEC-BCS crossover largely relies on the mean-field framework and the nature of the carriers at the crossover remains unclear to some extent. Here, motivated by the recent demonstration of a BCS polariton laser [arXiv:1902.00142] and based on a simplified short-range description of the electron-hole attraction, we examine the role of quantum fluctuations in an exciton-polariton condensate at thermal equilibrium and determine the number of different types of carriers at the crossover beyond mean field. Near Mott density and with very strong light-matter coupling, we find an unexpectedly large phase window for a strongly correlated BCS polariton condensate, where both fermionic Bogoliubov quasiparticles and bosonic excitons are significantly populated and strongly couple to photons. We predict its absorption spectrum and show that the upper polariton energy gets notably renormalized, giving rise to a high-energy side-peak at large carrier density, as observed in recent experiments.

Als Projektpartner waren die Unabhängige Beschwerdestelle für das Alter (UBA), Zürich und Schaffhausen, der Spitex Verband Kanton Zürich und die Pro Senectute Kanton Zürich beteiligt.

Der vorliegende Bericht soll einen Beitrag zur Diskussion von häuslicher Betreuung und Pflege auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen bieten. Einerseits werden Rahmenbedingungen verschiedener Akteure in der häuslichen Betreuung sowie deren Aufträge und Handlungsweisen beleuchtet. Andererseits werden eine Systematisierung vielfältiger Fälle häuslicher Misshandlung oder Vernachlässigung durch die Benennung von sechs Konfliktmustern ermöglicht sowie vier verschiedene Beziehungsqualitäten zwischen Betreuenden und Betreuten aufgezeigt, die zu einem Verständnis von Beziehungsmustern und Konfliktsituationen beitragen sollen. Daraus folgend werden Handlungsmöglichkeiten für die interdisziplinäre Arbeit in Konfliktsystemen diskutiert.

description: We investigate the transition from the many-body localized phase to the ergodic thermalized phase at an infinite temperature in an XY spin chain with L spins, which experiences power-law decaying interactions in the form of V-ij alpha 1/vertical bar i - j vertical bar(alpha) (i, j = 1, ..., L) and a random transverse field. By performing large-scale exact diagonalization for the chain size up to L = 18, we systematically analyze the energy gap statistics, the half-chain entanglement entropy, and the uncertainty of the entanglement entropy of the system at different interaction exponents alpha. The finite-size critical scaling allows us to determine the critical disorder strength W-c and the critical exponent nu at the many-body-localization phase transition, as a function of the interaction exponent alpha in the limit L -> infinity. We find that both W-c and nu diverge when alpha decreases to a critical power of alpha(c) similar or equal to 1.16 +/- 0.17, indicating the absence of many-body localization for alpha < alpha(c). Our result differs from the analytical prediction of alpha(c) = 3/2 found in a previous work based on a scaling argument [A. L. Burin, Phys Rev. B 92. 104428 (2015)], but is close to the recent numerical result alpha(c) approximate to 1 obtained from quantum dynamics simulation [A. Safavi-Naini, M. L. Wall, O. L. Acevedo, A. M. Rey, and R. M. Nandkishore, Phys. Rev. A 99, 033610 (2019)].

description: We predict the existence of a roton-induced Bose polaron for an impurity immersed in a three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with Raman-laser-induced spin-orbit coupling, where the condensate is in a finite-momentum plane-wave state with an intriguing roton minimum in its excitation spectrum. This novel polaron is formed by dressing the impurity with roton excitations, instead of phonon excitations as in a conventional (i.e., phonon-induced) Bose polaron, and acquires a significant center-of-mass momentum and highly anisotropic effective mass. We find that the roton-induced polaron evolves from a phonon-induced polaron, as the interaction between impurity and atoms increases across a Feshbach resonance. The evolution is not smooth, and a first-order phase transition from a phonon- to roton-induced polaron is observed at a critical interaction strength.

description: We consider a mixture of spin-1/2 bosons and fermions, where only the bosons are subjected to the spin-orbit coupling induced by Raman beams. The fermions, although not directly coupled to the Raman lasers, acquire an effective spin-orbit coupling through the spin-exchange interaction between the two species. Our calculation shows that this is a promising way of obtaining spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas without Raman-induced heating, where the long-sought topological Fermi superfluids and topological bands can be realized. Conversely, we find that the presence of fermions not only provides a new way to create the supersolid stripe phase of the bosons, but more strikingly it can also greatly increase the spatial period of the bosonic density stripes, and hence makes this phase directly observable in the experiment. This system provides a new and practical platform to explore the physics of spin-orbit coupling, which possesses a dynamic nature through the interaction between the two species.

Resonantly interacting p-wave Fermi superfluid in two dimensions: Tan's contact and the breathing mode

Subjects: classificationCode: 5108

description: Inspired by the renewed experimental activities on p-wave resonantly interacting atomic Fermi gases, we investigate theoretically some experimental observables of such systems at zero temperature in two dimensions, using both mean-field theory and Gaussian pair fluctuation theory. These observables include the two p-wave contact parameters and the breathing mode frequency, which can be readily measured in current cold-atom setups with K40 and Li6 atoms. We find that the many-body component of the two contact parameters exhibits a pronounced peak slightly above the resonance and consequently leads to a dip in the breathing mode frequency. In the resonance limit, we discuss the dependence of the equation of state and the breathing mode frequency on the dimensionless effective range of the interaction kFRpâ‰1, where kF is the Fermi wave vector and Rp is the effective range. The breathing mode frequency ωB deviates from the scale-invariant prediction of ωc=2ω0, where ω0 is the trapping frequency of the harmonic potential. This frequency shift is caused by the necessary existence of the effective range. In the small range limit, we predict that the mode frequency deviation at the leading order is given by δωB≃-(ω0/4)ln-1(kFRp).

description: We investigate the nature of superfluid pairing in a strongly interacting Fermi gas near orbital Feshbach resonances with spin-population imbalance in three dimensions, which can be well described by a two-band or two-channel model. We show that a Sarma superfluid with gapless single-particle excitations is favored in the closed channel at large imbalance. It is thermodynamically stable against the formation of an inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superfluid and features a well-defined Goldstone-Anderson-Bogoliubov phonon mode and a massive Leggett mode as collective excitations at low momentum. At large momentum, the Leggett mode disappears and the phonon mode becomes damped at zero temperature, due to the coupling to the particle-hole excitations. We discuss possible experimental observation of a strongly interacting Sarma superfluid with ultracold alkaline-earth-metal Fermi gases.

description: The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pair of qubits plays a critical role in many quantum protocol applications such as quantum communication and quantum teleportation. Due to interactions with the environment, an EPR pair can lose its entanglement and no longer serve as a useful quantum resource. On the other hand, it has been suggested that introducing disorder into environment might help prevent thermalization and improve the preservation of entanglement. Here, we theoretically investigate the time evolution of quantum entanglement of an EPR pair in a random-field XXZ spin chain model in the Anderson localized (AL) and many-body localized (MBL) phase. We find that the entanglement between qubits decreases and approaches a plateau in the AL phase, but shows a power-law decrease after some critical time determined by the interaction strength in the MBL phase. Our findings shed light on applying AL/MBL to improve quantum information storage, and can be used as a practical indicator to distinguish the AL and MBL phase.
