description: The main aim of this paper is to provide set-theoretical solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation that are not necessarily bijective, among these new idempotent ones. In the specific, we draw on both to the classical theory of inverse semigroups and to that of the most recently studied braces, to give a new research perspective to the open problem of finding solutions. Namely, we have recourse to a new structure, the inverse semi-brace, that is a triple $(S,+, \cdot)$ with $(S,+)$ a semigroup and $(S, \cdot)$ an inverse semigroup satisfying the relation $a \left(b + c\right) = a b + a\left(a^{-1} + c\right)$, for all $a,b,c \in S$, where $a^{-1}$ is the inverse of $a$ in $(S, \cdot)$. In particular, we give several constructions of inverse semi-braces which allow for obtaining solutions that are different from those until known.

description: We introduce left and right series of left semi-braces. This allows to define left and right nilpotent left semi-braces. We study the structure of such semi-braces and generalize some results, known for skew left braces, to left semi-braces. We study the structure of left semi-braces $B$ such that the set of additive idempotents $E$ is an ideal of $B$. Finally we introduce the concept of a nilpotent left semi-brace and we show that the multiplicative group of such semi-braces is nilpotent.

description: Gamified concept paper presentations (GCPPs) have the potential to enhance learner success and 21st-century skills in academic research. This study investigated the effectiveness of GCPPs in a mixed-methods study with 114 Senior High School Grade 12 students taking English for Academic and Professional Purposes. The quantitative results showed that GCPPs led to higher levels of learner engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes than traditional concept paper presentations (TCPPs). The qualitative results from focus group interviews with learners and instructors revealed that GCPPs were more engaging and motivating than TCPPs and that they promoted the development of 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.

description: While cyclosporin A (CsA) is an effective immunosuppressive agent, its clinical application is limited by serious hepatorenal toxicity. However, Schisandrae chinensis fructus extract (SCE) has been previously shown to alleviate the hepatorenal damage caused by CsA. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the protective effects of SCE against hepatorenal toxicity induced by CsA. Our results revealed that SCE can prevent and treat CsA-induced liver and kidney injury. Furthermore, SCE inhibited the upward trend of dUDP and CDP-ethanolamine in the urine of CsA rats, pathways of which are involved in pyrimidine and glycerophospholipid metabolism. We finally confirmed that this protection of SCE was regulated by the activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway and the inhibition of apoptosis. In summary, our findings indicated that SCE may effectively prevent and treat hepatorenal toxicity caused by CsA. In addition, metabolomic techniques identified potential biomarkers for the occurrence of hepatorenal toxicity in CsA rats.
Critical functions and blow-up asymptotics for the fractional Brezis--Nirenberg problem in low dimension

description: For $s \in (0,1)$ and a bounded open set $Ω\subset \mathbb R^N$ with $N > 2s$, we study the fractional Brezis--Nirenberg type minimization problem of finding $$ S(a) := \inf \frac{\int_{\mathbb R^N} |(-Δ)^{s/2} u|^2 + \int_Ωa u^2}{\left( \int_Ωu^\frac{2N}{N-2s} \right)^\frac{N-2s}{N}}, $$ where the infimum is taken over all functions $u \in H^s(\mathbb R^N)$ that vanish outside $Ω$. The function $a$ is assumed to be critical in the sense of Hebey and Vaugon. For low dimensions $N \in (2s, 4s)$, we prove that the Robin function $ϕ_a$ satisfies $\inf_{x \in Ω} ϕ_a(x) = 0$, which extends a result obtained by Druet for $s = 1$. In dimensions $N \in (8s/3, 4s)$, we then study the asymptotics of the fractional Brezis--Nirenberg energy $S(a + \varepsilon V)$ for some $V \in L^\infty(Ω)$ as $\varepsilon \to 0+$. We give a precise description of the blow-up profile of (almost) minimizing sequences and characterize the concentration speed and the location of concentration points.

description: Particle flow filters solve Bayesian inference problems by smoothly transforming a set of particles into samples from the posterior distribution. Particles move in state space under the flow of an McKean-Vlasov-Ito process. This work introduces the Variational Fokker-Planck (VFP) framework for data assimilation, a general approach that includes previously known particle flow filters as special cases. The McKean-Vlasov-Ito process that transforms particles is defined via an optimal drift that depends on the selected diffusion term. It is established that the underlying probability density - sampled by the ensemble of particles - converges to the Bayesian posterior probability density. For a finite number of particles the optimal drift contains a regularization term that nudges particles toward becoming independent random variables. Based on this analysis, we derive computationally-feasible approximate regularization approaches that penalize the mutual information between pairs of particles, and avoid particle collapse. Moreover, the diffusion plays a role akin to a particle rejuvenation approach that aims to alleviate particle collapse. The VFP framework is very flexible. Different assumptions on prior and intermediate probability distributions can be used to implement the optimal drift, and localization and covariance shrinkage can be applied to alleviate the curse of dimensionality. A robust implicit-explicit method is discussed for the efficient integration of stiff McKean-Vlasov-Ito processes. The effectiveness of the VFP framework is demonstrated on three progressively more challenging test problems, namely the Lorenz '63, Lorenz '96 and the quasi-geostrophic equations.

description: Voltage fluctuations are common disturbances in power grids, therefore the effective and selective process of identification and localization of individual voltage fluctuations sources is necessary for the minimization of such disturbances. Selectivity in the process of identification and localization disturbing loads is possible by the use cascade of blocks: demodulation, decomposition and propagation assessment. The effectiveness of this approach is closely related to the used method of decomposition. The paper presents the problem of decomposition process for the selected method of selective identification and localization of voltage fluctuation sources, in which the algorithm of enhanced empirical wavelet transform (EEWT) is used as the decomposition method. The paper presents selected research results from the real power grid, for which the result of selected approach causes mistakes in the process of identification and localization of voltage fluctuations sources. The potential causes of such mistakes related to the decomposition process are discussed on the basis of obtained research results.

Making and Maker-Oriented Activities with Digital Tools in Early Childhood Education: A Qualitative Research Synthesis

description: This qualitative research synthesis examines the design of existing studies on making and maker-oriented activities with digital tools (Digital Making) in early childhood settings. This synthesis also provides an overview of teachers’ understanding of Digital Making, and how teachers implement Digital Making in their teaching practice. To be included in this synthesis, studies needed to (a) focus on Digital Making, (b) include evidence of early childhood teachers’ perspectives on Digital Making, (c) include children aged three to eight as Digital Makers, and (d) be situated in a formal educational setting. Given that young children’s making activities with digital tools are limited by children’s exposure to digital materials, I also considered studies in which children manipulated digital devices in ways that enabled them to develop foundational maker orientations and skills. Although 274 studies were considered, only seven studies met these criteria. Analyses show that the seven selected studies are grounded in the theoretical perspectives of constructivism, embodiment, and empowerment as an essential part of early childhood learning. These seven studies were conducted in a range of contexts with many different kinds of digital tools such as programable robots, remote toys, iPads, and 3D printers. Teachers viewed Digital Making as child-centred and engaging. They also reported using making and maker-oriented activities to support children’s learning of problem-solving skills, social skills, and digital literacies. To better integrate Digital Making at scale, however, more training and support for teachers is likely needed.
Isomorphs in sheared binary Lennard-Jones glass: Transient response

description: We have studied shear deformation of binary Lennard-Jones glasses to investigate the extent to which the transient part of the stress strain curves is invariant when the thermodynamic state point is varied along an isomorph. Shear deformations were carried out on glass samples of varying stability, determined by cooling rate, and at varying strain rates, at a state point deep in the glass. Density changes up to and exceeding a factor of two were made. We investigated several different methods for generating isomorphs but none of the previously developed methods could generate sufficiently precise isomorphs given the large density changes and non-equilibrium situation. Instead, the temperatures for these higher densities were chosen to give state points isomorphic to the starting state point by requiring the steady state flow stress for isomorphic state points to be invariant in reduced units. In contrast to the steady state flow stress, we find that the peak stress on the stress strain curve is not invariant. The peak stress decreases by a few percent for each ten percent increase in density, although the differences decrease with increasing density. Analysis of strain profiles and non-affine motion during the transient phase suggests that the root of the changes in peak stress is a varying tendency to form shear bands, with the largest tendency occurring at the lowest densities. We argue that this reflects the effective steepness of the potential; a higher effective steepness gives a greater tendency to form shear bands.

description: A two-step, metal-free process for stereoselective allylic 1,3-dienylation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates under mild reaction conditions has been developed. Using cyclic allylic nitro compounds as potential dienylating reagents, the transformation proceeds through tertiary amine-catalyzed allylic alkylation with MBH carbonates (14 examples, up to 94% yield), followed by AcOH-mediated denitration (12 examples, up to 87% yield), affording allylic 1,3-dienyl MBH derivatives with exclusive (E)-selectivity.

Let $\mathbb{P}$ denote the law of $(\mathcal{L}_k)_{k\in\mathbb{N}}$, and let $M_n$ denote the position of the maximal particle in generation $n$. We prove that there are $m_n$, which are functions of only $(\mathcal{L}_k)_{k\in\{0,\dots, n\}}$, such that (with regard to $\mathbb{P}$) the sequence $(M_n-m_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is tight with high probability.

description: Three 1,4-disubstituted anthraquinone dyes with bis(4-n-butylphenyl) substituents connected via amine or amide linking groups have been studied as guest molecules dissolved in the nematic host E7. UV-visible absorption spectroscopy has shown each of the dyes to exhibit multiple absorption bands in the visible region, and dichroic order parameters obtained from polarised spectra of aligned guest–host samples were shown to differ significantly between the bands for each dye, and between the dyes. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations indicated that each dye exhibits several transitions, giving transition dipole moment vectors with a range of orientations, and fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of the guest–host mixtures showed differences in the calculated molecular alignments of the dyes. Combining the results from these two sets of calculations enabled a comparison of molecular alignment models based on the moments of inertia and the surface tensors of the dyes. The match between calculated and experimental values was improved significantly when using the surface tensor rather than the moment of inertia model, indicating that the shapes of the molecular surfaces of these dyes are crucial to their alignment. A novel method of calculating polarised UV-visible absorption spectra of dyes in liquid crystal hosts is also presented.

description: New highly birefringent reactive liquid crystal materials based on the 2-methylhydroquinone core were designed and synthesised. Rod-type liquid crystal compounds bearing photo-crosslinkable reactive group of acryloyl, methacryloyl, cinnamoyl, furylacryloyl group were synthesised by introducing acetylene groups via Sonogashira coupling to obtain high birefringence, and lateral groups such as fluoro and methyl to adjust the temperature of the liquid crystal phase. The synthesised compounds were characterised using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. In addition, their thermal behaviour was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and polarised optical microscopy. After aligning the synthesised compounds, liquid crystal films were prepared by photo-irradiation. Photo-elastic modulator results showed that the obtained liquid crystal films had high birefringence (Δn) values of 0.32–0.40.

description: One of the challenges of Industry 4.0, is to determine and optimize the flow of data, products and materials in manufacturing companies. To realize these challenges, many solutions have been defined such as the utilization of automated guided vehicles (AGVs). However, being guided is a handicap for these vehicles to fully meet the requirements of Industry 4.0 in terms of adaptability and flexibility: the autonomy of vehicles cannot be reduced to predetermined trajectories. Therefore, it is necessary to develop their autonomy. This will be possible by designing new generations of industrial autonomous vehicles (IAVs), in the form of intelligent and cooperative autonomous mobile robots.In the field of road transport, research is very active to make the car autonomous. Many algorithms, solving problematic traffic situations similar to those that can occur in an industrial environment, can be transposed in the industrial field and therefore for IAVs. The technologies standardized in dedicated bodies (e.g., ETSI TC ITS), such as those concerning the exchange of messages between vehicles to increase their awareness or their ability to cooperate, can also be transposed to the industrial context. The deployment of intelligent autonomous vehicle fleets raises several challenges: acceptability by employees, vehicle location, traffic fluidity, vehicle perception of changing environments (dynamic), vehicle-infrastructure cooperation, or vehicles heterogeneity. In this context, developing the autonomy of IAVs requires a relevant working method. The identification of reusable or adaptable algorithms to the various problems raised by the increase in the autonomy of IAVs is not sufficient, it is also necessary to be able to model, to simulate, to test and to experiment with the proposed solutions. Simulation is essential since it allows both to adapt and to validate the algorithms, but also to design and to prepare the experiments.To improve the autonomy of a fleet, we consider the approach relying on a collective intelligence to make the behaviours of vehicles adaptive. In this chapter, we will focus on a class of problems faced by IAVs related to collision and obstacle avoidance. Among these problems, we are particularly interested when two vehicles need to cross an intersection at the same time, known as a deadlock situation. But also, when obstacles are present in the aisles and need to be avoided by the vehicles safely.

In particular, such a new description of semi-braces includes that presented by Rump for braces. By specific affine structures, we provide several instances of bi-skew braces, including some that are not $λ$-homomorphic. Finally, we give a method for determining affine structures on the Zappa product of two groups both endowed with affine structures and prove that such a construction allows for obtaining semi-braces that are not matched product of semi-braces.

description: As a type of non-coding RNA, circular RNA (circRNA) figures prominently in human cancer progression. Nonetheless, the expression, function, and regulatory mechanism of circ_0001287 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain obscure. In this work, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was implemented to quantify circ_0001287 and miR-21 expressions in NSCLC tissues and cells. The relationship between circ_0001287 expression and the clinicopathological parameters of NSCLC patients was examined. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), 5-bromo-2©-deoxyuridine (BrdU), and Transwell experiments were conducted to detect the multiplication, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells after circ_0001287 was overexpressed or knocked down. The survival of NSCLC cells was studied using colony formation experiment under different doses of radiation. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) experiment and luciferase reporter gene experiment verified the binding relationship between circ_0001287 and miR-21. Western blot was employed to examine the regulatory effects of circ_0001287 and miR-21 on phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression. We reported that circ_0001287 expression was down-modulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. Besides, circ_0001287 low expression was associated with low differentiation and positive lymph node invasion of NSCLC. Circ_0001287 overexpression suppressed the multiplication, migration, invasion, and radioresistance of NSCLC cells, whereas circ_0001287 knockdown promoted the above phenotypes. Circ_0001287 could adsorb miR-21 and repress its expression, and indirectly up-modulate PTEN expression in NSCLC cells. Taken together, circ_0001287/miR-21/PTEN axis is probably involved in regulating NSCLC cell multiplication, metastasis, and radioresistance.

description: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stands for a refractory subtype, which predicts poor prognosis and has no effective therapies yet for improving it. Given the restrictions of traditional treatments, novel therapeutic strategies need excavating to alleviate the intrinsic or acquired resistance. Ribociclib, a selective CDK4/6 inhibitor, has successfully prevented cancers from deteriorating by intervening the CDK4/6-cyclin D-Rb-E2F pathway, especially for estrogen receptor-positive (ER +) breast cancer. However, there still remains limited accessibility referring to TNBC. Performing experiments on MDA-MB-231 cells, we found that LEE011 could suppress cell proliferation, and this suppression tended to be dose-dependently. Western blotting analysis presented significant decrease with the expression of CDK4/6 after LEE011 treated, and other proteins associated with this axis such as cyclin D1, p-Rb, Rb, E2F1 showed aberrant changes. Moreover, LEE011 induced G0–G1 phase cell cycle arrest, promoted cell apoptosis, and reduced cell migration in vitro. In addition, tumor growth was remarkably impeded without obvious side-effects in MDA-MB-231 xenograft models. Our research has identified that LEE011 was not completely invalid for MDA-MB-231. Considering its pivotal status in TNBC, the CDK4/6-cyclin D-Rb-E2F pathway informed us the possibility and practicality of Ribociclib (LEE011) as pharmacological intervention, but challenges warrant further validation in prospective studies.

description: A publication trend in Physics Education by employing bibliometric analysis leads the researchers to describe current scientific movement. This paper tries to answer “What do Physics education scientists concentrate in their publications?” by analyzing the productivity and development of publications on the subject category of Physics Education in the period 1980–2013. The Web of Science databases in the research areas of “EDUCATION - EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH” was used to extract the publication trends. The study involves 1360 publications, including 840 articles, 503 proceedings paper, 22 reviews, 7 editorial material, 6 Book review, and one Biographical item. Number of publications with “Physical Education” in topic increased from 0.14 % (n = 2) in 1980 to 16.54 % (n = 225) in 2011. Total number of receiving citations is 8071, with approximately citations per papers of 5.93. The results show the publication and citations in Physic Education has increased dramatically while the Malaysian share is well ranked.
On the sharp constant in the Bianchi-Egnell stability inequality

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This note is concerned with the Bianchi-Egnell inequality, which quantifies the stability of the Sobolev inequality, and its generalization to fractional exponents $s \in (0, \frac{d}{2})$. We prove that in dimension $d \geq 2$ the best constant \[ c_{BE}(s) = \inf_{f \in \dot{H}^s(\mathbb R^d) \setminus \mathcal M} \frac{\|(-Δ)^{s/2} f\|_{L^2(\mathbb R^d)}^2 - S_{d,s} \|f\|_{L^{2^*}(\mathbb R^d)}^2}{\text{dist}_{\dot{H}^s(\mathbb R^d)}(f, \mathcal M)^2} \] is strictly smaller than the spectral gap constant $\frac{4s}{d+2s+2}$ associated to sequences which converge to the manifold $\mathcal M$ of Sobolev optimizers. In particular, $c_{BE}(s)$ cannot be asymptotically attained by such sequences. Our proof relies on a precise expansion of the Bianchi-Egnell quotient along a well-chosen sequence of test functions converging to $\mathcal M$.

description: The Federal Government introduced the Welfare to Work legislation in 2005. The legislation was intended to shift people from welfare to (paid) work, largely through punitive measures such as reduced payments and harsh penalties. Community agencies in inner south east Melbourne were interested in monitoring any harms caused by Welfare to Work and developing policy responses. ‘A local response to Welfare to Work’ (the ALR-W2W project) did this through a ‘story collection’ method, which has enabled us to raise awareness of the issue and have input into policy processes. There were challenges in collecting stories from people affected who might be in crisis, suspicious of anything that looked like a bureaucratic or invasive response, or facing other barriers such as limited literacy, language barriers or mental health issues. This article discusses the methodological issues involved in collecting stories of people affected by Welfare to Work

description: In the current study, we used molecular screening and simulation approaches to target I7L protease from monkeypox virus (mpox) from the Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) database. Using molecular screening, only four hits TCM27763, TCM33057, TCM34450 and TCM31564 demonstrated better pharmacological potential than TTP6171 (control). Binding of these molecules targeted Trp168, Asn171, Arg196, Cys237, Ser240, Trp242, Glu325, Ser326, and Cys328 residues and may affect the function of I7L protease in in vitro assay. Moreover, molecular simulation revealed stable dynamics, tighter structural packing and less flexible behaviour for all the complexes. We further reported that the average hydrogen bonds in TCM27763, TCM33057, TCM34450 and TCM31564I7L complexes remained higher than the control drug. Finally, the BF energy results revealed −62.60 ± 0.65 for the controlI7L complex, for the TCM27763I7L complex −71.92 ± 0.70 kcal/mol, for the TCM33057I7L complex the BF energy was −70.94 ± 0.70 kcal/mol, for the TCM34450I7L the BF energy was −69.94 ± 0.85 kcal/mol while for the TCM31564I7L complex the BF energy was calculated to be −69.16 ± 0.80 kcal/mol. Although, we used stateoftheart computational methods, these are theoretical insights that need further experimental validation.

description: Basic human rights to sexual intimacy and freedom of sexual expression for aged care residents can be denied or under-valued, due partly to stigma associated with older people and sexuality. The objectives of this study were to report Nurse Manager perceptions regarding residents' rights, policies and factors that facilitated or constrained sexual intimacy. A qualitative pilot study using semi-structured interviews was developed, Senior Nurse Managers in Central Queensland) were interviewed, and a thematic analysis undertaken. Results indicated that most facilities had unwritten policies regarding residents' rights to sexual intimacy. Residents demonstrated desire for sexual intimacy in various ways. Privacy considerations, duty of care, residents’ cognitive functioning, residents' families and staff attitudes and education facilitated or constrained residents' sexual expression. Conclusions were drawn that residential facilities were complex sites for the expression and management of sexual intimacy; specific factors could facilitate or constrain residents' rights.
Logophoricity redefined - the case of Boko
Creators: name: Jones, Ross

description: This paper examines the phenomenon of logophoricity in Boko, a Mande language, and argues that in Boko at least, logophoricity is syntactically defined, contrary to recent claims that it is partially controlled by semantics: In this respect my analysis is an extension of what Culy (1997) postulated in claiming that logophoricity and point of view are distinct phenomena. Boko logophoric domains are broader than what is normally attributed to logophoricity, although limited to the sentence. The hierarchy of logophoric licensing verbs is extended maximally: any context where a pronoun in a lower level structure has an antecedent on a higher level is a logophoric domain. Relative and adverbial clauses are included. Boko reflexive possessive pronouns are interpreted as logophoric and are described here in detail. Their domains include noun phrases, postpositional phrases, simple clauses and complex clauses. In this paper a wide range of Boko examples is presented to illustrate the extent of all its forms, and the non-syntactic definitions logophoricity are shown to be inadequate for Boko.
The gender differential use of minimal responses in daytime TV interviews: a preliminary investigation

description: It is argued that females use more minimal responses such as mhm as a form of conversational support than men (Maltz & Borker 1982; Cameron 1989; Coates 1993; Tannen 1990; Graddol & Swann 1989). Past research has shown a large stratification between the frequency and type of male and female usage of minimal responses (Fishman 1983; Woods 1989; Zimmerman & West 1975; Maltz & Borker 1982). However, many studies neglect their usage in the media. The aim of this comparative study is to investigate the gender differential use of minimal responses in television interviews, hence the interview segments of two daytime television programs were analysed and compared. Key areas examined were the frequency of minimal responses according to gender of interviewer and interviewee, per second and per adjacency pair. Although in general the results loosely support those of Coates and Cameron (1989) and Zimmerman and West (1975), findings also indicate that the framework of an interview greatly influences minimal response usage, suggesting that status may also play a large role in the use of minimal responses.
Interpreters' role perceptions in business dialogue interpreting situations

description: This paper aims to examine interpreters' perceptions regarding their role in business interpreting situations involving the Japanese and English languages in Australia. Australia has a nationwide accreditation system for professional interpreters, and accredited interpreters are in theory bound by the professional code of ethics and code of practice. The codes, for example, stipulate such aspects as accuracy, impartiality and confidentiality in interpreting assignments. In this paper, I report on a study of seven interpreters, all of whom value such codes and recognise their importance but who expressed the feeling that there are various occasions where some of the provisions in the codes come in conflict with effective and efficient communication between Australian and Japanese clients in business-related situations. Furthermore, it seems that interpreters are actually active participants in inter-cultural communicative situations as a whole, and that their function appears to be more dynamic and proactive than the traditional stereotype towards interpreters implies. In this paper, the professional interpreters are the main focus and their perceived behaviour in business interpreting situations is discussed. The study is based on interviews with seven accredited Japanese language interpreters. Norm theory developed in the field of translation studies, as well as Goffman's role concept, are applied in the theoretical framework for the study.
