description: Background: Increased availability of low/er strength alcohol products has the potential to reduce alcohol consumption if they are marketed as substitutes for higher strength products rather than as additional products. The current study compares the main marketing messages conveyed by retailers and producers for low/er and regular strength wine and beer products. Methods: A content analysis of the marketing messages stated (in text) or depicted (in image) for low/er and regular strength wines and beers sold online on the websites of the four main UK retailers (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons), and the producers of these products between February-March 2016. Results: Four themes were identified: (a) suggested occasions for consumption, (b) health-related associations, (c) alcohol content, and (d) taste. Compared with regular strength products, low/er strength equivalents were more often marketed in association with occasions deemed to be suitable for their consumption including lunchtimes [wine: X2(1, n = 172) = 11.75, p=.001], outdoor events/barbeques [beer: X2(1, n = 96) = 11.16, p=.001] and on sport/fitness occasions [beer: X2(1, n = 96) = 7.55, p=.006]. Compared with regular strength wines and beers, low/er strength equivalents were more frequently marketed with images or text associated with health. These included images of fruit [wine: X2(1, n = 172) = 7.78, p=.005; beer: X2(1, n = 96) = 22.00, p

description: In this paper, we delineate the strategy employed by our team, DeepLearningBrasil, which secured us the first place in the shared task DepSign-LT-EDI@RANLP-2023, achieving a 47.0% Macro F1-Score and a notable 2.4% advantage. The task was to classify social media texts into three distinct levels of depression - "not depressed," "moderately depressed," and "severely depressed." Leveraging the power of the RoBERTa and DeBERTa models, we further pre-trained them on a collected Reddit dataset, specifically curated from mental health-related Reddit's communities (Subreddits), leading to an enhanced understanding of nuanced mental health discourse. To address lengthy textual data, we used truncation techniques that retained the essence of the content by focusing on its beginnings and endings. Our model was robust against unbalanced data by incorporating sample weights into the loss. Cross-validation and ensemble techniques were then employed to combine our k-fold trained models, delivering an optimal solution. The accompanying code is made available for transparency and further development.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a simple and robust protocol for the detection of weak radio-frequency magnetic fields using a single electron spin in diamond. Our method relies on spin locking, where the Rabi frequency of the spin is adjusted to match the MHz signal frequency. In a proof-of-principle experiment we detect a 7.5 MHz magnetic probe field of 40 nT amplitude with <10 kHz spectral resolution over a T_1-limited noise floor of 0.3 nT/rtHz. Rotating-frame magnetometry may provide a direct and sensitive route to high-resolution spectroscopy of nanoscale nuclear spin signals.
Constraints on Density Dependent MIT Bag Model Parameters for Quark and Hybrid Stars

description: We compute the equation of state (EoS) of strange quark stars (SQSs) with the MIT Bag model using density dependent bag pressure, characterized by a Gaussian distribution function. The bag pressure's density dependence is controlled by three key parameters namely the asymptotic value ($B_{as}$), $ΔB(=B_0 - B_{as})$, and $β$. We explore various parameter combinations ($B_{as}$, $ΔB$, $β$) that adhere to the Bodmer-Witten conjecture, a criterion for the stability of SQSs. Our primary aim is to analyze the effects of these parameter variations on the structural properties of SQSs. However we find that none of the combinations can satisfy the NICER data for PSR J0030+0451 and the constraint on tidal deformability from GW170817. So it can be emphasized that this model cannot describe reasonable SQS configurations. We also extend our work to calculate structural properties of hybrid stars (HSs). With the density dependent bag model (DDBM), these astrophysical constraints are fulfilled by the HSs configurations within a very restricted range of the three parameters. The present work is the first to constrain the parameters of DDBM for both SQS and HSs using the recent astrophysical constraints on tidal deformabiity from GW170817 and that on mass-radius relationship from NICER data.

Vortex coalescence and type-1.5 superconductivity in Sr2RuO4

description: Recently vortex coalescence was reported in superconducting Sr2RuO4 by several experimental groups for fields applied along the c-axis. We argue that Sr2RuO4 is a type-1.5 superconductor with long-range attractive, short-range repulsive intervortex interaction. The type-1.5 behavior stems from an interplay of the two orbital degrees of freedom describing this chiral superconductor together with the multiband nature of the superconductivity. These multiple degrees of freedom give rise to multiple coherence lengths, some of which are larger and some smaller than the magnetic field penetration length, resulting in nonmonotonic intervortex forces.

description: It is well known that the nonlinear filtering problem has important applications in both military and civil industries. The central problem of nonlinear filtering is to solve the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai (DMZ) equation in real time and in a memoryless manner. In this paper, we shall extend the algorithm developed previously by S.-T. Yau and the second author to the most general setting of nonlinear filterings, where the explicit time-dependence is in the drift term, observation term, and the variance of the noises could be a matrix of functions of both time and the states. To preserve the off-line virture of the algorithm, necessary modifications are illustrated clearly. Moreover, it is shown rigorously that the approximated solution obtained by the algorithm converges to the real solution in the $L^1$ sense. And the precise error has been estimated. Finally, the numerical simulation support the feasibility and efficiency of our algorithm.

PRESENT-DAY WARS Local And International Conflict And Conflict Resolutions Case Studies Of Côte d’Ivoire And Ukraine

Subjects: Peace studies

description: Abstract The late twentieth century and the contemporary era were perceived periods which appear to correspond to the phases of greatest ethnic and religious conflict on the international scale as coined by Samuel P. Huntington. However, Michael Klare considered these periods to be dominated by natural resource wars. These two contradictory ideas were either confirmed or rejected concerning the ongoing conflicts and wars worldwide. The paper aims therefore to fill this gap by studying, understanding, thinking logically and analyzing the determinants of conflicts and wars emanating from the assumptions of both thinkers, through theoretical approaches. A deductive reasoning was adopted for the accuracy of the conducted research. Data of the paper were obtained from academic books, scientific articles, newspapers and official documents. Empirical facts are derived from both primary and secondary sources. The conducted research is more qualitative than quantitative. Both theories of natural resource wars and clash of civilizations were added to the conducted research to ensure a solid understanding of the empirical facts. The result achieved confirms that natural resource wars are more dominant than those of ethnic and religious conflicts. Both hypotheses evoked by these thinkers were more or less experienced in various countries on the international scale, however for various reasons. The 1991-1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda was a typical case, while the 1968 Belfast war is also another evidence which differs from the Ivorian political experiment of 2002-2010. Today (2023), the Ukrainian war considered the Russian invasion is another reality among many others contradicting the thesis evoked by Huntington. NATO weapons’ support to president Volodymyr Zelinskyyin does not stop the Russian invasion. No compromises are made in safety terms for the war to be stopped unless recurrent threats against president Vladmir Putin are, indeed, real. Conflict resolutions needed to be prioritized and justice and peace advantaged.

description: There are currently several observational sea ice concentration datasets, as well as analysis and process based datasets that provide similar records of sea ice concentration or presence. Prior studies have found that the use of distinct retrieval algorithms with the same radiometric measurements, or measurements from different instruments, results in differences in the sea ice concentration record among the datasets. Consequently, different sea ice edge position estimates can be expected from these products. Here, we analyze 5 observational and analysis datasets, and measure the mismatch between them pairwise in terms of Integrated Ice Edge Error (IIEE), with the highest IIEE between observations reaching 1.25 million square kms in the Arctic (for an ice extent of 7.58 million square kms) and 2.31 million square kmsin the Antarctic (for an ice extent of 7.73 million square kms). We also suggest a novel approach for measuring the uncertainty in the observations using a probabilistic ensemble based on these datasets. Such a probabilistic observational dataset can also be very useful validating forecasts and analyses of sea ice edge. This study provides useful insights on the quality of single sea ice concentration estimates relative to the suite of products available, and delivers valuable feedback to observation providers aiming to improve their sea ice products

description: Semiclassical results are usually expected to be valid in the semiclassical regime. An interesting question is, in models in which appropriate effective Planck constants can be introduced, to what extent will a semiclassical prediction stay valid when the effective Planck constant is increased? In this paper, we numerically study this problem, focusing on semiclassical predictions for the decay of the quantum Loschmidt echo in deep quantum regions. Our numerical simulations, carried out in the chaotic regime in the sawtooth model and in the kicked rotator model and also in the critical region of a 1D Ising chain in transverse field, show that the semiclassical predictions may work even in deep quantum regions, in particularly, for perturbation strength in the so-called Fermi-Golden-rule regime.

description: Wie stellen Bilder Geschlechterverhältnisse dar und her? Bild-Konzepte (Darstellungen und Wahrnehmungen) des Weiblichen haben in kulturellen Praktiken zumeist einen affirmativen Charakter: Sie (re-)inszenieren und stabilisieren vor allem diskursiv geregelte Rollenmuster und Verhaltensnormen. Diese Bild-Konzepte sind dabei durch Gefühlscodes grundiert und verstärkt. Doch zunächst affirmativ konzipierte Bilder von Weiblichkeit können auch – manchmal unfreiwillig – Codes und Blickordnungen enttarnen und Zuschreibungen verunsichern. Am Beispiel der künstlerischen Arbeit Destroy, she said von Monica Bonvicini werden diese Überlegungen aus bildkritischer Perspektive entwickelt und das gängige Bild-Konzept einer ‚sentimentalen Weiblichkeit‘ hinterfragt.

description: Imaging of bone metastasis response to therapy is a research priority. Stradwin is a new software-tool, with demonstrated sub-voxel accuracy in assessing cortical bone properties from routine CT. We applied this technology to the context of osseous metastases, with particular focus on disease progression using prostate cancer as a model. 3D–rendered ‘bone-maps’ were produced for 20 men with advanced prostate cancer, including a sub-cohort of 9 who had undergone serial scans. Correlation between baseline interpretation and assessments of progression between modalities was assessed. Bone-maps took significantly less time to interpret than CT bone windows (P < 0.001). Initial bone-mapping, without adjustment, demonstrated sensitivity and specificity for suspicious areas on CT of 70.7% and 73.1% respectively. Evaluating disease over time, concordance between bone-maps and current practice using RECIST outcomes was 100%. This study demonstrates the feasibility and potential use of this free post-processing software in the serial assessment of osseous metastases.

We relate the large N limit of the S matrix to the Hilbert schemes of points on the affine plane. As an application, we find an explicit formula for the Euler characteristics of the universal sheaf, applied arbitrary Schur functor.

description: Evolutionary dynamics provides an iconic relationship --- the periodic frequency of a game is determined by the payoff matrix of the game. This paper reports the first experimental evidence to demonstrate this relationship. Evidence comes from two populations randomly-matched $2\times2$ games with 12 different payoff matrix parameters. The directions, frequencies and changes in the radius of the cycles are measured definitively. The main finding is that the observed periodic frequencies of the persistent cycles are significantly different in games with different parameters. Two replicator dynamics, standard and adjusted, are employed as predictors for the periodic frequency. Interestingly, both of the models could infer the difference of the observed frequencies well. The experimental frequencies linearly, positively and significantly relate to the theoretical frequencies, but the adjusted model performs slightly better.

description: The ability of humans to create and disseminate culture is often credited as the single most important factor of our success as a species. In this Perspective, we explore the notion of machine culture, culture mediated or generated by machines. We argue that intelligent machines simultaneously transform the cultural evolutionary processes of variation, transmission, and selection. Recommender algorithms are altering social learning dynamics. Chatbots are forming a new mode of cultural transmission, serving as cultural models. Furthermore, intelligent machines are evolving as contributors in generating cultural traits--from game strategies and visual art to scientific results. We provide a conceptual framework for studying the present and anticipated future impact of machines on cultural evolution, and present a research agenda for the study of machine culture.

description: Background: For working adults, about one-third of energy is consumed in the workplace making this an important context in which to reduce energy intake to tackle obesity. The aims of the current study were first, to identify barriers to the feasibility and acceptability of implementing calorie labelling in preparation for a larger trial, and second, to estimate the potential impact of calorie labelling on energy purchased in worksite cafeterias. Methods: Six worksite cafeterias were randomised to the intervention starting at one of six fortnightly periods, using a stepped wedge design. The trial was conducted between August and December 2016, across 17 study weeks. The intervention comprised labelling all cafeteria products for which such information was available with their calorie content (e.g. “250 calories”) displayed in the same font style and size as for price. A post-intervention survey with cafeteria patrons and interviews with managers and caterers were used to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention. Intervention impact was assessed using generalised linear mixed modelling. The primary outcome was the total energy (kcal) purchased from intervention items in each cafeteria each day. Results: Recruitment and retention of worksite cafeterias proved feasible, with post-intervention feedback suggesting high levels of intervention acceptability. Several barriers to intervention implementation were identified, including chefs’ discretion at implementing recipes and the manual recording of sales data. There was no overall effect of the intervention: -0.4% (95%CI -3.8 to 2.9, p=.803). One site showed a statistically significant effect of the intervention, with an estimated 6.6% reduction (95%CI -12.9 to -0.3, p=.044) in energy purchased in the day following the introduction of calorie labelling, an effect that diminished over time. The remaining five sites did not show robust changes in energy purchased when calorie labelling was introduced. Conclusions: A calorie labelling intervention was acceptable to both cafeteria operators and customers. The predicted effect of labelling to reduce energy purchased was only evident at one out of six sites studied. Before progressing to a full trial, the calorie labelling intervention needs to be optimised, and a number of operational issues resolved.

description: The standard (Bose-Einstein/Fermi-Dirac or Maxwell-Boltzmann) distribution from the relativistic ideal gas model is used to study the transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) spectra of identified charged hadrons ($π^-$, $π^+$, $K^-$, $K^+$, $\bar p$, and $p$) with different rapidities produced in inelastic proton-proton ($pp$) collisions at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The experimental data measured by the NA61/SHINE Collaboration at the center-of-mass (c.m.) energies $\sqrt{s}=6.3$, 7.7, 8.8, 12.3, and 17.3 GeV are fitted well by the distribution. It is shown that the effective temperature ($T_{eff}$ or $T$), kinetic freeze-out temperature ($T_{0}$), and initial temperature ($T_{i}$) decrease with the increase in rapidity and increase with the increase in c.m. energy. The kinetic freeze-out volume ($V$) extracted from the $π^-$, $π^+$, $K^-$, $K^+$, and $\bar p$ spectra decreases with the rapidity and increase with the c.m. energy. The opposite tendency of $V$, extracted from the $p$ spectra, is observed to be increasing with the rapidity and decreasing with the c.m. energy due to the effect of leading protons.

This fact notwithstanding, the free energy produced by arbitrary sources (not only static ones) is identical to the one predicted by general relativity. This encompasses all weak field tests of gravitation.

description: For a group of charged particles obeying quantum mechanics interacting with an electromagnetic field, the charge and current density in a pure state of the system are expressed with the many-body wave function of the state. Using these as sources, the microscopic Maxwell equations can be written down for any given pure state of a many-body system. By employing semi-classical radiation theory with these sources, the microscopic Maxwell equations can be used to compute the strong radiation fields produced by interacting charged quantal particles. For a charged quantal particle, three radiation fields involve only the vector potential $\mathbf{A}$. This is another example demonstrating the observability of vector potential. Five radiation fields are perpendicular to the canonical momentum of a single charged particle. For a group of charged particles, a new type of radiation field is predicted to be perpendicular to $\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{x}_{j},t)\times \lbrack\nabla\times(\nabla_{j}Ψ^{\prime})]$, where $Ψ^{'}$ is the many-body wave function. This kind of radiation does not exist for a single charged particle. The macroscopic Maxwell equations are derived from the corresponding microscopic equations for a pure state by the Russakoff-Robinson procedure which requires only a spatial coarse graining. Because the sources of fields are also the responses of a system to an external field, one also has to give up the temporal coarse graining of the current density which is often supposed to be critical in the kinetic approach of conductivity.

description: The aim of this mini review is to survey the literature on the study of nonequilibrium dynamics of Fermi superfluids in the BCS and BEC limits, both in the single channel and dual channel cases. The focus is on mean field approaches to the dynamics, with specific attention drawn to the dynamics of the Ginzburg-Landau order parameters of the Fermi and composite Bose fields, as well as on the microscopic dynamics of the quantum degrees of freedom. The two approaches are valid approximations in two different time scales of the ensuing dynamics. The system is presumed to evolve during and/or after a quantum quench in the parameter space. The quench can either be an impulse quench with virtually instantaneous variation, or a periodic variation between two values. The literature for the order parameter dynamics, described by the time-dependent Ginzburg- Landau equations, is reviewed, and the works of the author in this area highlighted. The mixed phase regime in the dual channel case is also considered, and the dual order parameter dynamics of Fermi-Bose mixtures reviewed. Finally, the nonequilibrium dynamics of the microscopic degrees of freedom for the superfluid is reviewed for the self-consistent and non self-consistent cases. The dynamics of the former can be described by the Bogoliubov de-Gennes equations with the equilibrium BCS gap equation continued in time and self -consistently coupled to the BdG dynamics. The latter is a reduced BCS problem and can be mapped onto the dynamics of Ising and Kitaev models. This article reviews the dynamics of both impulse quenches in the Feshbach detuning, as well as periodic quenches in the chemical potential, and highlights the author's contributions in this area of research.

description: Much debate has been around the misapplication of metrics in research assessment. As a result of this concern, the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) was launched, an initiative that caused opposing viewpoints. However, the discussion topics about DORA have not been formally identified, especially in participatory environments outside the scholarly communication process, such as social networks. This paper contributes to that end by analyzing 20,717 DORA-related tweets published from 2015 to 2022. The results show an increasing volume of tweets, mainly promotional and informative, but with limited participation of users, either commenting or engaging with the tweets, generating a scarcely polarized conversation driven primarily by a few DORA promoters. While a varied list of discussion topics is found (especially "Open science and research assessment," "Academics career assessment & innovation," and "Journal Impact Factor"), the DORA debate appears as part of broader conversations (research evaluation, open science). Further studies are needed to check whether these results are restricted to Twitter or reveal more general patterns. The findings might interest the different evaluators and evaluated agents regarding their interests and concerns around the reforms in the research evaluation.

description: Vector-like quark is a common feature in many new physics models. We study the vector-like quark production as an s-channel resonance at the Large Hadron Collider for the vector-like quarks mainly mixing with the top- and bottom-quark in the Standard Model.

description: We develop a unified scattering approach to dynamical Casimir problems which can be applied to both accelerating boundaries, as well as dispersive objects in relative motion. A general (trace) formula is derived for the radiation from accelerating boundaries. Applications are provided for objects with different shapes in various dimensions, and undergoing rotational or linear motion. Within this framework, photon generation is discussed in the context of a modulated optical mirror. For dispersive objects, we find general results solely in terms of the scattering matrix. Specifically, we discuss the vacuum friction on a rotating object, and the friction on an atom moving parallel to a surface.

description: We investigate the Diophantine property of a pair of elements in the group of affine transformations of the line. We say that a pair of elements g_1,g_2 in this group is Diophantine if there is a number A such that a product of length l of elements of the set {g_1,g_2,g_1^{-1},g_2^{-1}} is either the unit element or of distance at least A^{-l} from the unit element. We prove that the set of non-Diophantine pairs in a certain one parameter family is of Hausdorff dimension 0.

description: Aerodynamic drag can be partially approximated by the entropy flux across fluid domain boundaries with a formula due to Oswatitsch. In this paper, we build the adjoint solution that corresponds to this representation of the drag and investigate its relation to the entropy variables, which are linked to the integrated residual of the entropy transport equation. For inviscid isentropic flows, the resulting adjoint variables are identical to the entropy variables, an observation originally due to Fidkowski and Roe, while for non-isentropic flows there is a significant difference that is explicitly demonstrated with analytic solutions in the shocked quasi-1D case. Both approaches are also investigated for viscous and inviscid flows in two and three dimensions, where the adjoint equations and boundary conditions are derived. The application of both approaches to mesh adaptation is investigated, with especial emphasis on inviscid flows with shocks.

description: We present elliptical processes, a family of non-parametric probabilistic models that subsume Gaussian processes and Student's t processes. This generalization includes a range of new heavy-tailed behaviors while retaining computational tractability. Elliptical processes are based on a representation of elliptical distributions as a continuous mixture of Gaussian distributions. We parameterize this mixture distribution as a spline normalizing flow, which we train using variational inference. The proposed form of the variational posterior enables a sparse variational elliptical process applicable to large-scale problems. We highlight advantages compared to Gaussian processes through regression and classification experiments. Elliptical processes can supersede Gaussian processes in several settings, including cases where the likelihood is non-Gaussian or when accurate tail modeling is essential.

description: We consider the integrable minimal models ${\cal M}(m,m';t)$, corresponding to the $φ_{1,3}$ perturbation off-criticality, in the {\it logarithmic limit\,} $m, m'\to\infty$, $m/m'\to p/p'$ where $p, p'$ are coprime and the limit is taken through coprime values of $m,m'$. We view these off-critical minimal models ${\cal M}(m,m';t)$ as the continuum scaling limit of the Forrester-Baxter Restricted Solid-On-Solid (RSOS) models on the square lattice. Applying Corner Transfer Matrices to the Forrester-Baxter RSOS models in Regime III, we argue that taking first the thermodynamic limit and second the {\it logarithmic limit\,} yields off-critical logarithmic minimal models ${\cal LM}(p,p';t)$ corresponding to the $φ_{1,3}$ perturbation of the critical logarithmic minimal models ${\cal LM}(p,p')$. Specifically, in accord with the Kyoto correspondence principle, we show that the logarithmic limit of the one-dimensional configurational sums yields finitized quasi-rational characters of the Kac representations of the critical logarithmic minimal models ${\cal LM}(p,p')$. We also calculate the logarithmic limit of certain off-critical observables ${\cal O}_{r,s}$ related to One Point Functions and show that the associated critical exponents $β_{r,s}=(2-α)\,Δ_{r,s}^{p,p'}$ produce all conformal dimensions $Δ_{r,s}^{p,p'}

description: [Background:] A significant quenching of high energy jets was observed in the heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility, and is now confirmed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) facility. The RHIC plus LHC era provides a unique opportunity to study the jet-medium interaction that leads to the jet quenching, and the medium itself at different collision energies (medium temperatures). [Purpose:] We study the azimuthal anisotropy of jet quenching, to seek constraints on different models featuring distinct path-length and density dependences for jet energy loss, and to gain a better understanding of the medium. [Methods:] The models are fixed by using the RHIC data, and then applied to study the LHC case. A set of harmonic (Fourier) coefficients $v_{n}$ are extracted from the jet azimuthal anisotropy on a event-by-event basis. [Results:] The second harmonics $v_{2}$, mostly driven by the medium's geometry, can be used to differentiate jet quenching models. Other harmonics are also compared with the LHC (2.76 TeV) data. The predictions for future LHC (5.5 TeV) run are presented. [Conclusions:] We find that a too strong path-length dependence (e.g., cubic) is ruled out by the LHC $v_{2}$ data, while the model with a strong near-$T_c$ enhancement for the jet-medium interaction describes the data very well. It is worth pointing out that the latter model expects a less color-opaque medium at LHC.

Vacuum birefringence in strong magnetic fields: (I) Photon polarization tensor with all the Landau levels

description: Photons propagating in strong magnetic fields are subject to a phenomenon called the "vacuum birefringence" where refractive indices of two physical modes both deviate from unity and are different from each other. We compute the vacuum polarization tensor of a photon in a static and homogeneous magnetic field by utilizing Schwinger's proper-time method, and obtain a series representation as a result of double integrals analytically performed with respect to proper-time variables. The outcome is expressed in terms of an infinite sum of known functions which is plausibly interpreted as summation over all the Landau levels of fermions. Each contribution from infinitely many Landau levels yields a kinematical condition above which the contribution has an imaginary part. This indicates decay of a sufficiently energetic photon into a fermion-antifermion pair with corresponding Landau level indices. Since we do not resort to any approximation, our result is applicable to the calculation of refractive indices in the whole kinematical region of a photon momentum and in any magnitude of the external magnetic field.
