description: The standard picture of galaxy formation motivates the decomposition of the Milky Way into 3--4 stellar populations with distinct kinematic and elemental abundance distributions: the thin disk, thick disk, bulge, and stellar halo. To test this idea, we construct a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for both simulated and observed stars in the Solar neighborhood, using measured velocities and iron abundances (i.e., an augmented Toomre diagram) as the distributions to be decomposed. We compare results for the Gaia-APOGEE DR16 crossmatch catalog of the Solar neighborhood with those from a suite of synthetic Gaia-APOGEE crossmatches constructed from FIRE-2 cosmological simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies. We find that in both the synthetic and real data, the best-fit GMM uses five independent components, some of whose properties resemble the standard populations predicted by galaxy formation theory. Two components can be identified unambiguously as the thin disk and another as the halo. However, instead of a single counterpart to the thick disk, there are three intermediate components with different age and alpha abundance distributions (although these data are not used to construct the model). We use decompositions of the synthetic data to show that the classified components indeed correspond to stars with different origins. By analogy with the simulated data, we show that our mixture model of the real Gaia-APOGEE crossmatch distinguishes the following components: (1) a classic thin disk of young stars on circular orbits (46%), (2) thin disk stars heated by interactions with satellites (22%), (3, 4) two components representing the velocity asymmetry of the alpha-enhanced thick disk (27%), and (5) a stellar halo consistent with early, massive accretion (4%).

La puissance de l'art poétique d'Alfred de Vigny
Creators: name: McLeman Carnie, Janette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Much has been written about Les Destinees of Alfred de Vigny. Both his singular style and the philosophical content of his poems distinguish him from other Romantic poets of the nineteenth century. He was an ingenious and imaginative poet whose deepest reflections were expressed by means of allegories and symbols. This study attempts to demonstrate how the poet communicates his philosophy through symbolic language. In spite of his artistic genius, Vigny would remain dissatisfied with his talent throughout his life. In chapter I, a detailed analysis of La Flûte reveals -Vigny's duality of character (poete-philosophe) and his fundamental need to attain perfection in his life. As a gifted man, he experienced estrangement from the rest of society. He considered himself a prophet and as such demanded veneration, indeed immortalisation from his fellow man. Chapter II deals with the chosen man's struggle to survive in a hostile environment. The genius finds little solace in life. Faced with a silent God ("Mais le ciel reste noir, et Dieu ne repond pas."), the poet turns to the real world for spiritual comfort. Vigny's scepticism concerning metaphysical issues caused him great anguish. He was unable to accept unreservedly the existence of God and to embrace the enigmas of the Christian doctrine. Guilt and despair are thus intrinsic elements in his poetry. In chapter III, we witness the development of a new religion: the Word of God is replaced by the Word of the poet which is based on truth, reason and justice. According to Vigny, truth and goodness are to be found only on earth and man alone controls his destiny. Vigny's poetry attests the enlightened man's struggle to assuage mankind's poignant existence. Chapter IV reveals the poet's compassion for humanity and his firm belief in man's goodness. The poet did not attempt to conceal his contempt for injustice and political regimes. The superior individual (Homme de l'Esprit) will, however, vanquish evil. Truth will eradicate ignorance, justice will prevail and man will embrace the highest virtues of human existence. Such was the dream of Alfred de Vigny. He was regal both as a man and as a poet. True, his philosophy is primarily pessimistic for there is much ugliness in the world. Nonetheless, Vigny demonstrates, through Les Destinies, that beauty also exists and man will find it in his constant struggle to maintain order, dignity and honour in life.
Presenza e distribuzione delle acquaporine nell'apparato intestinale del vitello bufalino
Creators: name: Vassalotti, Giuseppe

description: Le acquaporine costituiscono una famiglia di proteine canale, diffusamente distribuite nel regno animale e vegetale, che partecipano all'equilibrio delle molecole d’acqua all'interno o all'esterno delle cellule di specifici tessuti.
I processi di assorbimento del colostro, durante le prime fasi di vita del vitello, esprimono un punto cruciale nella protezione da tutti i patogeni intestinali, principali responsabili della mortalità neonatale.
Il colostro, inoltre, è per il vitello un alimento a elevato valore nutrizionale, contenente fattori di accrescimento e ormoni che possono favorire il corretto sviluppo dell’apparato gastroenterico.
Molteplici meccanismi, compresi quelli per l'attivazione degli enzimi e di proteine canale come le acquaporine(AQPs), non sono ancora ben noti.
L’obiettivo del presente studio è stato quello di valutare l'espressione, la distribuzione e la localizzazione cellulare dell’AQP1,  AQP4 e AQP5 nei vari tratti intestinali del vitello bufalino durante i primi giorni di vita, cercando di chiarirne il possibile ruolo durante l’assunzione di colostro.
I risultati emersi dalla nostra ricerca hanno rivelato, per la prima volta, la presenza dell’AQP 1,  AQP4 e AQP5 in tutti i tratti intestinali esaminati, dati confermati dal riscontro dell’ mRNA per questa proteina.
Un incremento notevole dell'espressione è stato registrato nei soggetti a una settimana dall'assunzione del colostro. L'immunoistochimica ha evidenziato una differente distribuzione e localizzazione delle AQPs, mostrando un’immunoreattività dell' AQP1 nell'endotelio dei vasi sanguigni e linfatici e raramente nelle cellule delle cripte, dell' AQP4 nell'epitelio ghiandolare e nei villi intestinali ed infine dell'AQP5 nelle cellule endocrine e raramente nei vasi sanguigni.
Nella stessa analisi, nei soggetti che avevano assunto colostro, si è osservata una maggiore attività a livello dell'ileo (AQP1) con positività nel tessuto linfoide e, a livello del digiuno (AQP4), con positività dei neuroni del sistema nervoso enterico.
In ogni caso la co-espressione e diversa distribuzione delle tre AQPs nei tratti del piccolo e grosso intestino rende ancora difficile chiarire il significato intrinseco di ciascuna di esse.

description: The ionic liquid (IL) trihalogen monoanions [N2221][X3]− and [N2221][XY2]− ([N2221]+=triethylmethylammonium, X=Cl, Br, I, Y=Cl, Br) were investigated electrochemically via temperature dependent conductance and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The polyhalogen monoanions were measured both as neat salts and as double salts in 1‐butyl‐1‐methyl‐pyrrolidinium trifluoromethane‐sulfonate ([BMP][OTf], [X3]−/[XY2]− 0.5 M). Lighter IL trihalogen monoanions displayed higher conductivities than their heavier homologues, with [Cl3]− being 1.1 and 3.7 times greater than [Br3]− and [I3]−, respectively. The addition of [BMP][OTf] reduced the conductivity significantly. Within the group of polyhalogen monoanions, the oxidation potential develops in the series [Cl3]−>[BrCl2]−>[Br3]−>[IBr2]−>[ICl2]−>[I3]−. The redox potential of the interhalogen monoanions was found to be primarily determined by the central halogen, I in [ICl2]− and [IBr2]−, and Br in [BrCl2]−. Additionally, tetrafluorobromate(III) ([N2221]+[BrF4]−) was analyzed via CV in MeCN at 0 °C, yielding a single reversible redox process ([BrF2]−/[BrF4]−).

description: Cities all over the world are converting maps of their infrastructure systems from legacy formats [such as paper maps and computer-aided design (CAD) drawings] to geographic information systems (GIS). Compared with CAD, GIS tend to offer more flexibility in terms of managing, updating, analyzing, and processing data. Nonetheless, the conversion process to GIS can be extremely challenging from a technical point of view. Moreover, the original data in a legacy format often contain errors, and pieces of infrastructure are often missing. What is more, even once the conversion process is complete, the maintenance of the data and the fusion of the data set with other data sets can be challenging. Leveraging recent technological advances (such as machine learning and semantic reasoning), this paper proposes a framework to better manage infrastructure data. More specifically, a smart data-management protocol is presented to successfully convert infrastructure maps from CAD to GIS that includes a data- cleaning procedure in CAD and machine-learning algorithmic solutions to validate or suggest edits of the infrastructure once converted to GIS. In addition, the protocol includes elements of version control to keep track of how urban infrastructure evolves over time as well as a procedure to combine GIS infrastructure maps with other data sets (such as socio- demographic data) that can be used for optimal scheduling of asset maintenance and repair

description: Homogeneous and isotropic models are studied in the Jordan frame of the second order gravity theory. The late time evolution of the models is analysed with the methods of the dynamical systems. The normal form of the dynamical system has periodic solutions for a large set of initial conditions.

Meta-immunological profiling of children with type 1 diabetes identifies new biomarkers to monitor disease progression.
Creators: name: Nugnes, Rosa

Year: 2013

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic β-cells in genetically susceptible individuals, whose incidence is increasing worldwide. So far, our ability to curb this pathogenic immune response is limited by the poor understanding of the exact nature and kinetics of the immunological mechanisms leading to T1D. Indeed, triggers of islet autoimmunity and the precise mechanisms responsible for the progressive β-cell failure are not completely understood. Several scientific evidence supports a crucial role for the environment, which is also suggested by the rapid increase of incidence of this autoimmune disease. The search for a single cause of T1D has been vain, more probably there are a number of different factors that may contribute either to the initiating of the disease process or precipitating the manifest disease in subjects on their way to get diabetes. High living standard, good parent education, few siblings, pronounced hygiene, are all factors with possible important effects on immune system and autoimmune risk. In addition, the recent escalation of obesity in affluent countries has been suggested to contribute to the increased incidence of T1D, as a precipitating factor. Understanding the link between metabolism and immune tolerance could lead to the identification of new markers for the monitoring of disease onset and progression. We studied several immune cell subsets and factors with high metabolic impact as markers associated with disease progression in type 1 diabetes patients at onset, at 12 and at 24 months after diagnosis, in high-risk subjects and in non-diabetic controls. A multiple correlation matrix among different parameters was evaluated statistically and assessed visually on two-dimensional graphs. The meta-immunological profile changed significantly among the three studied groups and in patients over time, and a specific signature that associated with worsening disease was identified. Finally, markers to predict residual β-cell function up to one year after diagnosis were identified in a multivariate logistic regression model. This latter model, measuring age, body mass index (BMI), fasting C-peptide (C-pep), number of circulating CD3+CD16+CD56+ cells and percentage of CD1c+CD19-CD14-CD303- type 1 myeloid dendritic cells (mDC1s) at disease onset had a significant predictive value. The identification of a specific meta-immunological profile associated to disease status may contribute to understand the basis of diabetes and its progression, and provide novel biomarkers that could help clinicians in disease monitoring and in the choose of the most appropriate therapeutic approach according to disease status and aggressiveness.
Modelling and evaluation of fate and occurrence of ash-forming and trace elements in combustion of virgin and treated biomass
Creators: name: Meka, Wahyu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: The increase of global carbon emissions by 2.7% in 2018 from the 2015 level indicates that the utilisation of fossil fuel, particularly coal, as the primary energy source is still very significant worldwide. Many countries have made efforts to reduce their carbon emissions by replacing coal with biomass. The UK government has promoted the gradual transition from coal-firing to biomass-firing to achieve complete coal power plant shutdown by 2025. This transition program is also supported with several incentive schemes to encourage the current and planned future coal-firing power plants to utilise biomass. However, several disadvantages are attributed to the utilisation of biomass as an energy source. Significant exploitation of woody biomass contributes to flooding, increasing carbon debts, and food security issues due to deforestation. Additionally, the use of herbaceous biomass causes operational problems in power plants due to severe ash deposition and corrosion. Treated wood is abundantly available and is known to complement virgin biomass in combustion to mitigate the disadvantages associated with woody and herbaceous biomass combustion. In the EU, 52.9 million tonnes of waste wood is produced annually, 54% of which is utilised to produce electricity. However, treated wood contains trace elements (TE), e.g. arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, etc. sourced from prior anthropogenic treatment, e.g. preservatives and paints. These elements are relatively volatile at high temperatures and are released to the atmosphere during combustion. Ingestion of these elements may harm human metabolism and pose other health risks to wildlife. This thesis aims to develop a comprehensive model to predict the fate and the occurrence of trace elements (TEs) and ash-forming elements (AFEs) in combustion of treated wood and virgin wood. The combustion process considered is based on the biomass combustion operation in the 250-kW entrained-flow boiler in the UKCCSRC Pilot-scale Advanced Capture Technology (PACT) facility in Sheffield, UK. The developed model is designed to predict the downstream concentrations, the fate profiles, and the occurrence profiles each AFE and TE. The modelled downstream concentrations as the element concentrations in uncooled downstream gas are well validated by the experimental downstream concentrations measured with the online inductively-coupled plasma – mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). The modelled fate and occurrence profiles of each AFE and TE are in good agreement with the experimental results pertaining to the respective elements.

description: A systematic determination of the gluon distribution is of fundamental interest in understanding the parton structure of nuclei and the QCD dynamics. Currently, the behavior of this distribution at small $x$ (high energy) is completely undefined. In this paper we analyze the possibility of constraining the nuclear effects present in $xg^A$ using the inclusive observables which would be measured in the future electron-nucleus collider at RHIC. We demonstrate that the study of nuclear longitudinal and charm structure functions allows to estimate the magnitude of shadowing and antishadowing effects in the nuclear gluon distribution.

Asymptotic description of transitional and turbulent flows: effects of surface roughness on the boundary layer and the evolution of coherent structures in free shear flows
Creators: name: Katai, Csaba Bence
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: In this thesis we investigate, using high-Reynolds-number asymptotic techniques, three fluid dynamics problems linked to transition and turbulence. The first problem concerns the impact of spanwise periodic, streamwise elongated surface roughness elements on the boundary-layer stability. We are mainly interested in their effects on the so-called lower-branch modes, therefore, the spanwise spacing of the roughness is chosen to be comparable to the characteristic wavelength of the instability modes which is on the triple-deck scale. The streamwise length is much longer, consistent with experimental setups. By appropriate rescaling, a nonlinear set of boundary-layer equations are derived from the generic triple-deck theory. As the pressure is completely determined by the roughness shape to leading order, the governing equations can be solved by an efficient marching method to compute the streaky flow. The instability of the streaky flow is reduced to a one-dimensional eigenvalue problem in the spanwise direction. The instability is found to be controlled by the (spanwise periodic) streamwise wall shear. The numerical results are then compared to existing experimental data for which a good qualitative agreement is obtained. The second problem investigates the nonlinear dynamics of coherent structures in the turbulent mixing layer. Experimental results have shown that these large-scale motions share many characteristics with instability waves. Most of the characteristics can be predicted by a stability analysis of the mean flow. The instantaneous flow field is decomposed into the mean flow, coherent and incoherent fluctuations. The problem is closed by applying appropriate turbulence closures to the so-called modulated Reynolds stress transport equations. The nonlinear critical-layer theory for laminar-flow instabilities is adapted to develop a mathematical theory describing the evolution of coherent structures. With the present high-level turbulence closure model, the effect of fine-grained turbulence on the coherent structures is shown to appear as novel dispersion as well as anisotropic diffusion, in contrast to isotropic diffusion in the gradient-type models. The theoretical predictions capture the main nonlinear features of the coherent structures. Lastly, we apply an existing weakly-nonlinear theory to the evolution of coherent structures in the turbulent wake, but unlike previous works, we use a newly observed non-equilibrium turbulent dissipation scaling law that holds in the region where energetic coherent structures are present, and is different from that linked to the classical Richardson–Kolmogorov equilibrium cascade.

description: The study of citation networks is of interest to the scientific community. However, the underlying mechanism driving individual citation behavior remains imperfectly understood, despite the recent proliferation of quantitative research methods. Traditional network models normally use graph theory to consider articles as nodes and citations as pairwise relationships between them. In this paper, we propose an alternative evolutionary model based on hypergraph theory in which one hyperedge can have an arbitrary number of nodes, combined with an aging effect to reflect the temporal dynamics of scientific citation behavior. Both theoretical approximate solution and simulation analysis of the model are developed and validated using two benchmark datasets from different disciplines, i.e. publications of the American Physical Society (APS) and the Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP). Further analysis indicates that the attraction of early publications will decay exponentially. Moreover, the experimental results show that the aging effect indeed has a significant influence on the description of collective citation patterns. Shedding light on the complex dynamics driving these mechanisms facilitates the understanding of the laws governing scientific evolution and the quantitative evaluation of scientific outputs.

description: The rotor-router model is a deterministic analogue of random walk. It can be used to define a deterministic growth model analogous to internal DLA. We show that the set of occupied sites for this model on an infinite regular tree is a perfect ball whenever it can be, provided the initial rotor configuration is acyclic (that is, no two neighboring vertices have rotors pointing to one another). This is proved by defining the rotor-router group of a graph, which we show is isomorphic to the sandpile group. We also address the question of recurrence and transience: We give two rotor configurations on the infinite ternary tree, one for which chips exactly alternate escaping to infinity with returning to the origin, and one for which every chip returns to the origin. Further, we characterize the possible "escape sequences" for the ternary tree, that is, binary words a_1 ... a_n for which there exists a rotor configuration so that the k-th chip escapes to infinity if and only if a_k=1.

description: Recent experiments (Guan et al. 2016a,b) showed many interesting phenomena on dynamic contact angle hysteresis while there is still a lack of complete theoretical interpretation. In this work, we study the time averaging of the apparent advancing and receding contact angles on surfaces with periodic chemical patterns. We first derive a Cox-type boundary condition for the apparent dynamic contact angle on homogeneous surfaces using Onsager variational principle. Based on this condition, we propose a reduced model for some typical moving contact line problems on chemically inhomogeneous surfaces in two dimensions. Multiscale expansion and averaging techniques are employed to approximate the model for asymptotically small chemical patterns. We obtain a quantitative formula for the averaged dynamic contact angles. It gives explicitly how the advancing and receding contact angles depend on the velocity and the chemical inhomogeneity of the substrate. The formula is a coarse-graining version of the Cox-type boundary condition on inhomogeneous surfaces. Numerical simulations are presented to validate the analytical results. The numerical results also show that the formula characterizes very well the complicated behaviour of dynamic contact angle hysteresis observed in the experiments.

description: To broaden the scope of van der Waals 2D magnets, we report the synthesis and magnetism of covalent 2D magnetic Cr$_2$Te$_3$ with a thickness down to one-unit-cell. The 2D Cr$_2$Te$_3$ crystals exhibit robust ferromagnetism with a Curie temperature of 180 K, a large perpendicular anisotropy of 7*105 J m-3, and a high coercivity of ~ 4.6 kG at 20 K. First-principles calculations further show a transition from canted to collinear ferromagnetism, a transition from perpendicular to in-plane anisotropy, and emergent half-metallic behavior in atomically-thin Cr$_2$Te$_3$, suggesting its potential application for injecting carriers with high spin polarization into spintronic devices.
Algebraic construction of coulomb branches in 3d n=4 quiver gauge theories
Creators: name: Miketa, Dominik
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis serves as a self-contained review of some recent advances in the study of three-dimensional N=4 quiver gauge theories and their Coulomb branch moduli spaces in particular. Our investigation leverages and develops the Hilbert series and abelianisation approaches and finds them mutually complementary. Their synthe- sis provides an explicit construction of the Coulomb branch with several desirable properties: for example, the global symmetry is made explicit and any complex mass deformation is easily derived. Moreover, it naturally handles two generalisations of quiver gauge theories: non-simply laced quivers and previously unknown wreathed quivers. Many concrete examples are provided to illustrate the concepts.

description: This short essay aims to investigate the role played by the object ‘window’ in different post-1989 German representations of the so-called Stasi, that is to say, the secret policy of the German Democratic Republic. In particular, we will linger our attention on a precise situation, that of the controlled-controller, which often recurs in such representations. By analysing three different artistic products (one film: The life of the others by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, and two novels: Ich by Wolfgang Hilbig and Helden wie wir by Thomas Brussig) we will attempt to show how windows largely contributed not only to the functioning of the Stasi itself, but also to creating a country full of spies spying on one another without even knowing of being controlled by others.

In the end we will demonstrate how the use of windows in this particular kind of representation also alludes to the concept of the Panopticon (Jeremy Bentham) and its theoretical application carried out by the French philosopher Michael Foucault.

Non-Conscious Data Collection: A Critical Analysis of Risks and Public Perspectives
Creators: name: Matomäki, Sofia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This literature review explores the issues and risks in non-conscious data collection and evaluates people’s attitudes towards it. In the modern world, data is one of the most valuable resources, yet studies focused on the potential negative implications of the new data-driven technologies are lacking. Therefore, this thesis conducts a comprehensive literature review to identify and assess risks in non-conscious data collection technologies that are most relevant and referenced in current literature. Accordingly, the most prominent risks are related to privacy issues with personal data, bias in algorithms creating inequality, and the difficulties in creating adequate legislation. Subsequently, the thesis will explore existing studies about people’s attitudes towards non-conscious data collection and examine the most significant socio-demographic determinants of those attitudes. Therefore, despite socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, and economic status affecting the attitudes people have towards data collection technologies, this thesis argues how these approaches can be explained by varying external factors such as prior experiences with similar technologies.
The role of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in dusty and partially ionized outflows

description: We investigate the linear theory of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at the interface between a partially ionized dusty outflow and the ambient material analytically. We model the interaction as a multifluid system in a planar geometry. The unstable modes are independent from the charge polarity of the dust particles. Although our results show a stabilizing effect for charged dust particles, the growth time scale of the growing modes gradually becomes independent of the mass or charge of the dust particles when the magnetic field strength increases. We show that growth time scale decreases with increasing the magnetic field. Also, as the mass of the dust particles increases, the growth time scale of the unstable mode increases.

Female identity through language in Simone Schwarz Bart's Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle
Creators: name: Williams, Helen T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The focus of inquiry in this thesis is female identity and its representation through Language as seen in the novel Pluie et vent sur Telumee Miracle by Simone Schwarz-Bart. The context of the novel clearly depicts instances of oppression of both women and Blacks. I have chosen to apply feminist interpretations of Lacanian psychoanalytical theory, which qualify a woman's place in the symbolic order of Language as that of "object", in order to analyse women's alienation in Language as depicted in the novel. I believe Lacan's view of Language as a hierarchical system into which the human child is born not only underscores the dominant position of Language in relation to the individual, it also emphasizes the extent to which women are prevented from speaking with the (authoritative) voice of the Subject. I focus on Schwarz-Bart's process for the "feminine" encoding of meaning, whereby the traditional "male" perspective is supplanted by an alternative approach to existence. This initial analysis of the repression of women in a patriarchal or male-dominated discourse is then used as a model to study the position of the Black in a society dominated by Whites. I have adopted Jung's interpretation of the workings of the unconscious as a means of further extending the study from the realm of the sexual (male vs. female) to the political (White vs. Black). Delving more deeply into the Guadeloupian context of Pluie et vent sur Telumee Miracle provides the basis with which to counter the dual Lacanian assumption that (sexual) identity does not exist before its symbolization in discourse and that the individual is therefore limited to expressing himself or herself within the confines of the essential male=subject/ female= object paradigm.

Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies III. Solving the puzzle of ultrafast bars

description: More than 10% of the barred galaxies with a direct measurement of the bar pattern speed host an ultrafast bar. These bars extend beyond the corotation radius and challenge our understanding of the orbital structure of barred galaxies. Most of them are found in spiral galaxies, rather than in lenticular ones. We analysed the properties of the ultrafast bars detected in the CALIFA Survey to investigate whether they are an artefact resulting from an overestimation of the bar radius and/or an underestimation of the corotation radius or a new class of bars, whose orbital structure has not yet been understood. We revised the available measurements of the bar radius based on ellipse fitting and Fourier analysis and of the bar pattern speed from the Tremaine-Weinberg method. In addition, we measured the bar radius from the analysis of the maps tracing the transverse-to-radial force ratio, which we obtained from the deprojected i-band images of the galaxies retrieved from the SDSS Survey. We found that nearly all the sample galaxies are spirals with an inner ring or pseudo-ring circling the bar and/or strong spiral arms, which hamper the measurement of the bar radius from the ellipse fitting and Fourier analysis. According to these methods, the bar ends overlap the ring or the spiral arms making the adopted bar radius unreliable. On the contrary, the bar radius from the ratio maps are shorter than the corotation radius. This is in agreement with the theoretical predictions and findings of numerical simulations about the extension and stability of the stellar orbits supporting the bars. We conclude that ultrafast bars are no longer observed when the correct measurement of the bar radius is adopted. Deriving the bar radius in galaxies with rings and strong spiral arms is not straightforward and a solid measurement method based on both photometric and kinematic data is still missing.

description: SummaryIn recent decades, physiotherapy and rehabilitation have evolved significantly due to the rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT) and the emergence of telerehabilitation services. Understanding physiotherapists' perspectives on ICT use is essential for the wider acceptance and integration of telerehabilitation in clinical practice.

This study explored physiotherapists’ attitudes toward ICT, their level of interest in digital tools, and their views on the future role of telerehabilitation in physiotherapy.

MethodologyA custom-designed questionnaire was distributed to physiotherapists working in community health centres and health promotion centres across Slovenia. The study involved 90 participants—68 from community health centres and 22 from health promotion centres.

ResultsFindings revealed that 87.8% of physiotherapists regularly use desktop or laptop computers at work, and over half (53.3%) access the internet for professional purposes. While 38.9% reported increased ICT use (including video conferencing) during the COVID-19 pandemic, 24.4% did not use ICT at all during that time.

DiscussionThere was no significant difference in ICT acceptance between younger and older physiotherapists. Although the pandemic brought some increase in digital engagement, it was not widespread. A strong correlation was found between physiotherapists' interest in ICT and their positive outlook on future telerehabilitation use. These findings highlight the need for continued research into the role of digitalization in physiotherapy across Slovenia.

description: A partir de un comentario a Falso movimiento de Franco Moretti, se revisan los protocolos metodológicos y teóricos del "giro cuantitativo" que él propugnó, así como la mirada crítica sobre el tema que propone su este último libro. Se trata de poner de relieve los imaginarios que circulan en ambas etapas y la dimensión sintomática de esta orientación, de cara a la situación de la historia literaria hoy y, más ampliamente, de la situación social de las Humanidades. La racionalidad extrema y la materialidad de la crítica dejan entrever ideologías y anhelos típicamente contemporáneos.
Spin-orbit misalignment from triple-star common envelope evolution

description: I study a triple star common envelope evolution (CEE) of a tight binary system that is spiraling-in inside a giant envelope and launches jets that spin-up the envelope with an angular momentum component perpendicular to the orbital angular momentum of the triple star system. This occurs when the orbital plane of the tight binary system and that of the triple star system are inclined to each other, so the jets are not along the triple star orbital angular momentum. The merger of the tight binary stars also tilts the envelope spin direction. If the giant is a red supergiant (RSG) star that later collapses to form a black hole (BH) the BH final spin is misaligned with the orbital angular momentum. Therefore, CEE of neutron star (NS) or BH tight binaries with each other or with one main sequence star (MSS) inside the envelope of an RSG, where the jets power a common envelope jets supernova (CEJSN) event, might end with a NS/BH-NS/BH close binary system with spin-orbit misalignment. Such binaries can later merge to be gravitational waves sources. I list five triple star scenarios that might lead to spin-orbit misalignments of NS/BH-NS/BH binary systems, two of which predict that the two spins be parallel to each other. In the case of a tight binary system of two MSSs inside an asymptotic giant branch star the outcome is an additional non-spherical component to the mass loss with the formation of a messy planetary nebula.

description: We measured high-quality surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) distances for a sample of 63 massive early-type galaxies using the WFC3/IR camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. The median uncertainty on the SBF distance measurements is 0.085 mag, or 3.9% in distance. Achieving this precision at distances of 50 to 100 Mpc required significant improvements to the SBF calibration and data analysis procedures for WFC3/IR data. Forty-two of the galaxies are from the MASSIVE Galaxy Survey, a complete sample of massive galaxies within ~100 Mpc; the SBF distances for these will be used to improve the estimates of the stellar and central supermassive black hole masses in these galaxies. Twenty-four of the galaxies are Type Ia supernova hosts, useful for calibrating SN Ia distances for early-type galaxies and exploring possible systematic trends in the peak luminosities. Our results demonstrate that the SBF method is a powerful and versatile technique for measuring distances to galaxies with evolved stellar populations out to 100 Mpc and constraining the local value of the Hubble constant.
