description: We numerically investigate the case of the planar circular restricted three-body problem where the more massive primary is an oblate spheroid. A thorough numerical analysis takes place in the configuration $(x,y)$ and the $(x,E)$ space in which we classify initial conditions of orbits into three categories: (i) bounded, (ii) escaping and (iii) collisional. Our results reveal that the oblateness coefficient has a huge impact on the character of orbits. Interpreting the collisional motion as leaking in the phase space we related our results to both chaotic scattering and the theory of leaking Hamiltonian systems. We successfully located the escape as well as the collisional basins and we managed to correlate them with the corresponding escape and collision times. We hope our contribution to be useful for a further understanding of the escape and collision properties of motion in this interesting version of the restricted three-body problem.

description: Winds from short-period Earth and Neptune mass exoplanets, driven by high energy radiation from a young star, may evaporate a significant fraction of a planet's mass. If the momentum flux from the evaporative wind is not aligned with the planet/star axis, then it can exert a torque on the planet's orbit. Using steady-state one-dimensional evaporative wind models we estimate this torque using a lag angle that depends on the product of the speed of the planet's upper atmosphere and a flow timescale for the wind to reach its sonic radius. We also estimate the momentum flux from time-dependent one-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. We find that only in a very narrow regime in planet radius, mass and stellar radiation flux is a wind capable of exerting a significant torque on the planet's orbit. Similar to the Yarkovsky effect, the wind causes the planet to drift outward if atmospheric circulation is prograde (super-rotating) and in the opposite direction if the circulation is retrograde. A close-in super Earth mass planet that loses a large fraction of its mass in a wind could drift a few percent of its semi-major axis. While this change is small, it places constraints on the evolution of resonant pairs such as Kepler 36 b and c.

Subjects: child custody

description: Second semester University: Lund University.
description: This thesis deals with the compatibility of requirements to access legal gender recognition with international human rights law, in particular the pre-condition to be rendered permanently infertile and the possibility of losing child custody rights of biological children who were born before the application for legal gender recognition. Through the analysis of relevant European jurisprudence, domestic and international legislation, international declarations and statements and, with a personal input provided by interviews conducted with relevant stakeholders, this thesis provides an overview of the current legal status of transgender persons. In addition, given the lack of information available, through comparisons with parallel situations, namely with documented cases of Roma women sterilised and of homosexual parents‟ loss of child custody rights, it provides a clear portrait of the constraints that such requirements pose on transgender persons‟ full enjoyment and exercise of human rights. The principal conclusions to be drawn is that legislation imposing sterilisation as precondition to access legal gender recognition violate one‟s right to found a family, to family life, to physical integrity, to the highest attainable standard of health and to consent or refuse medical treatment. Legislation requiring the person to be unmarried/divorced or domestic practices forcing transgender parents‟ to waive their parental rights in order to have their legal gender recognised violate the parent and child‟s right to family life and the child‟s rights not to be separated and to maintain contact with her/his parents.
BioExcel webinar #73: Competency frameworks to support training design and professional development
Creators: name: Llinares, Marta Lloret
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: webinar

description: The huge amount of available data and its fast growing pace in the life sciences requires professionals to learn and adapt continuously to keep abreast with new technologies and methodologies. More and more computational researchers work on essential areas such as medical diagnosis and treatment, drug discovery, agriculture or food industry. High quality training and available frameworks for professional development are key to enable researchers to use computational tools in this constantly evolving scenario. A competency framework can be used to define the areas of training needs and to develop a training programme. Professionals can use the competencies to assess themselves against a established standard and identify development areas for themselves. A competency is an observable ability of any professional, integrating multiple components such as knowledge, skills and behaviours. BioExcel has developed a framework that lists the competencies for professionals in the field of computational biomolecular research and includes different profiles within its field of application, e.g. computational chemist, PhD student in biomolecular simulations. The EMBL-EBI Competeny Hub supports continuous professional development by facilitating the identification of training needs and the access to relevant training resources. The tool allows the association of career profiles and training resources with the competencies, so that users can find where to start learning. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to use the BioExcel competency framework to guide professional development.
Lawyers in a Blocked Society. Career Expectations and Determinants of Professional Success in the Italian Legal Labour Market
Creators: name: Bellini, Andrea
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: This article focuses on the changing conditions of Italian lawyers, starting from the widespread idea - here assumed as a general hypothesis - of the law profession that, in many cases, could be a way out for people with unfulfilled career expectations. In detail, a brief introduction situates the increase in the number of lawyers in the context of an economy with a low capacity to create high-education jobs, while the first section highlights the segmentation of the legal labour market. The second section then examines the relationship between initial career expectations and professional success, also paying attention to social origins as a determinant of success or failure. Furthermore, it attempts to typify and understand different choice patterns. For these purposes, the author presents selected findings of a study on lawyers based in Florence.

Previous open-label studies have shown lower day-to-day variability in the glucose-lowering effect and lower rates of hypoglycemia among patients who received degludec than among those who received basal insulin glargine. However, data are lacking on the cardiovascular safety of degludec.
Observation of the Nonlinear Phase Shift Due to Single Post-Selected Photons

description: Over the past years, there have been many efforts towards generating interactions between two optical beams so strong that they could be observed at the level of individual photons. Such strong interactions, beyond opening up a new regime in optics, could lead to technologies such as all-optical quantum information processing. However, the extreme weakness of photon-photon scattering has hindered any attempt to observe such interactions at the level of single particles. Here we implement a strong optical nonlinearity using electromagnetically-induced transparency and slow light, and directly measure the resulting nonlinear phase shift for individual photons. This is done by illuminating the sample with a weak classical pulse with as few as 0.5 photons per pulse on average, and using post-selection to determine whether a given pulse contained (approximately) 0 or 1 photons. We present clear data showing the quantized dependence of a probe beam's measured phase shift on the post-selection result, for a range of input pulse intensities. We believe that this represents the first direct measurement of the cross-phase shift due to single photons.
Compatibility of concordats with democratic constitutions : case study of Slovakia

description: Second semester University: Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan.
description: The thesis is focused on the question of compatibility of concordats with democratic constitutions. Roman Catholic religion represented by the Holy See as the head of Vatican City State is the only religion with international personality that provides means to inter alia conclude international treaties with other states. These treaties usually aim at securing rights of the Church and her members to govern themselves in particular country independently from the government. However, concordats can regulate also religious freedom for Roman Catholic believers and even some other rights. One such example is a proposed Draft Treaty between the Slovak Republic and the Holy See on the Right to Exercise Objection of Conscience. Despite the fact that this treaty guarantees the exercise of conscientious objection to everyone, such claim has to be based on Roman Catholic teaching on faith and morals. In addition, exercise of this right is insufficiently limited. Therefore, if adopted, the Draft Treaty will result in violation of a guarantee of fundamental rights principle of legally consistent state as well as state´s obligations undertaken by ratification of international human rights treaties. In addition, regulation of exercise of conscientious objection as proposed by the Draft Treaty has the potential of multiple breach of the Constitution of the Slovak Republic because its adoption can result in participation of Catholic Church in legislative process and introduction of canonical law as source of law

Weak Gravity Strongly Constrains Large-Field Axion Inflation

description: Models of large-field inflation based on axion-like fields with shift symmetries can be simple and natural, and make a promising prediction of detectable primordial gravitational waves. The Weak Gravity Conjecture is known to constrain the simplest case in which a single compact axion descends from a gauge field in an extra dimension. We argue that the Weak Gravity Conjecture also constrains a variety of theories of multiple compact axions including N-flation and some alignment models. We show that other alignment models entail surprising consequences for how the mass spectrum of the theory varies across the axion moduli space, and hence can be excluded if further conjectures hold. In every case that we consider, plausible assumptions lead to field ranges that cannot be parametrically larger than the Planck scale. Our results are strongly suggestive of a general inconsistency in models of large-field inflation based on compact axions, and possibly of a more general principle forbidding super-Planckian field ranges.

description: Die amerikanische Philosophin Martha C. Nussbaum zeigt mit dem „Fähigkeitenansatz“, der auf der Ethik und Politik des Aristoteles basiert, eine entwicklungspolitische Alternative zur Konzentration auf das Sozialprodukt pro Kopf als Maß für gesellschaft liche Wohlfahrt. Unabhängig vom kulturellen Kontext sind für sie bestimmte menschliche Fähigkeiten (z.B. sich angemessen zu ernähren, kritisch über die eigene Lebensplanung nachzudenken, zu lachen …) für ein vollgültiges Leben von entscheidender Bedeutung. Diese gelte es in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen, wolle eine Regierung das Gute für die Menschen wirklich fördern und somit ein Mindestmaß an Menschenwürde gewährleisten. Ina Prätorius zeichnet in „kritischer Sympathie“ diesen Ansatz nach und ergänzt ihn um einen Punkt konstitutiver Bedingungen des Menschseins: das Geborensein als anfängliche, allmählich in bezogene Freiheit sich wandelnde Abhängigkeit.

description: Objective: Chronic fatigue is a major burden of disease in patients with ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (AAV) which results in a decreased quality of life. The prevalence of fatigue in AAV is, however, unknown. The aim of our study is to evaluate the presence of chronic fatigue in patients with a diagnosis of AAV i.e., granulomatosis with polyangiitis, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis or microscopic polyangiitis, and to identify potential clinical and biopsychosocial determinants. Methods: 59 participants included in our study completed the validated DePaul Symptom Questionnaire (DSQ). Patients were labelled with “Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)” when they fulfilled the Canadian Consensus Criteria for ME/CFS. Disease activity was scored using Birmingham Vasculitis Activity (BVAS), whereas the Vasculitis damage index (VDI) was used to evaluate damage. Mental comorbidities where analyzed to understand potential biopsychosocial factors related to chronic fatigue. To assess anxiety and depression we used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS). We also used the Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) to estimate the frequency of cognitive failure. Sleep quality was assessed using The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analysis was carried out using Fischer’s exact test. Results: We found that 32/59 (54%) of AAV patients fulfilled the case definition for ME/CFS. There was no relationship between the presence of ME/CFS and BVAS (p=0.5), VDI (p=0.78), sleep disorders (p=0.8), depression (p=0.09) or C-reactive protein (p=0.2399) in our study population. However, a substantial statistically significant correlation was present in patients with AAV suffering from ME/CFS, cognitive failure (p=0.004) and/ or anxiety (p= <0.001). Conclusion: Chronic fatigue affects AAV patient’s mental wellbeing. From our analysis we conclude that chronic fatigue, cognitive failure and/or anxiety co-occur independently of vasculitis disease activity. We postulate that therapies aimed at improving anxiety may be utilized as adjunct agents for patients with AAV suffering from Chronic fatigue.

Human rights and religion in Bolivia : why is the Catholic Church advancing human rights?

description: Second semester University: University of Deusto, Bilbao
description: The aim of this thesis is to shed a light on the factors that shape the relationship between the Catholic Church and human rights in the case study of Bolivia. Over the last decades, Bolivia has been affected by the emergence of a “mestizo and indigenous” democracy. The Bolivian Catholic Church has played a crucial role in the process. She has progressively integrated the human rights discourse on specific issues into her theological and religious framework, despite internal and external resistances. In particular, indigenous rights; economic, social and cultural rights; the right to a healthy environment and the protection of the environment have become the core of the Church's socio-political mission and action in the country. The thesis will show that, in contrast to other common interpretations, the Church's advancement of human rights (dependent variable) is better understood as the result of a process of organizational learning (independent variable). This process began in Bolivia thanks to the positive interaction between “local Catholic actors” and mestizo and indigenous communities at the grassroots level. More generally, this research aims to improve the crucial understanding of the interaction between human rights and religious paradigms at the empirical level, adopting a social scientific approach.

description: The aim of the essay is to problematize the seemingly obvious dichotomy: liberalism - populism. A double bond holds today the two poles, both involved in the decline of the representative logic. An immanentism broadly aesthetic (at the same time, spectacular and immediately sensitive ) prevails; forms of life and power presume to manifest themselves and act without mediation. Moreover, even the conceptual couple populism/ neoliberalism, which presents itself as emphatically oppositional: hyper - political v/s depoliticization, reveals a paradoxical mirroring. We must rethink the populism of the twenty-first century beyond the traditional categories in which it was framed and we have to bring it back to the neoliberal context from which it emerges.

Il partito-paradosso: il modello teorico di Fabrizio Barca come tentativo di riconciliazione tra sfera sociale e oggettivazione partitica
Creators: name: Bruni, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: The aim of this article is to reflect on the party-form, starting with a sociological analysis of Fabrizio Barca’s policy document entitled A new party for a good government. Political Memory after sixteen months of government. At the time of its drafting and within the Italian context, this document was the sole theoretical work on parties that was issued moving from a politician perspective rather than from the civil society. The article that we propose is structured in three parts. A first one follows a descriptive approach and reconstructs the content and argumentative structure of Barca’s document. A second part follows an analytical approach and looks at the document on four analytical levels: (i) the redefinition of the relationship between representation and representativeness; (ii) the pre-eminence of today’s social sphere on the political sphere (as it emerges from the document); (iii) the political dialectic as a relationship between strong and weak identity; (iv) the relationship between the political party and the network. The third and final part follows a critical approach and will try to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the proposal. The thesis that will support this last part is the one according to which the strengths of the writing of Fabrizio Barca seem to paradoxically overlap and entangle with its weaknesses.The political sphere seems to have lost the ability to produce global visions and effective forms of social aggregation. Nonetheless, efforts aiming at defining social bonds, conflicts, socially relevant values (such as justice, equality, etc.) are still active. In fact, these efforts passed from the level of traditional political parties onto a different one, with social and relational networks that are becoming the privileged places for the elaboration of values, ideas, and social/individual identities.Following the lines of such analysis of the current situation, one cannot state that citizens lack interest in associated life; quite differently, there is a strong “participatory ferment”, although this ferment is mainly on the level of social participation. Within this framework, there seems to be an almost complete and paradoxical antithesis between the very idea of participation and the political/institutional system.

description: We report the observation of two fundamental sub-gap transport processes through a quantum dot (QD) with a superconducting contact. The device consists of a carbon nanotube contacted by a Nb superconducting and a normal metal contact. First, we find a single resonance with position, shape and amplitude consistent with the theoretically predicted resonant Andreev tunneling (AT) through a single QD level. Second, we observe a series of discrete replicas of resonant AT at a separation of $\sim145\,μ$eV, with a gate, bias and temperature dependence characteristic for boson-assisted, inelastic AT, in which energy is exchanged between a bosonic bath and the electrons. The magnetic field dependence of the replica's amplitudes and energies suggest that two different bosons couple to the tunnel process.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly impacted the long-term services and supports (LTSS) sector, necessitating a rapid shift from in-person services to remote. Adult day service centers (ADSCs) – a type of LTSS – offer in-person community-based programs comprised of health and wellness services to historically underserved populations, such as communities of color, low-income, and older adults. Based on data collected from 23 semi-structured interviews with 22 providers from eight ADSCs across a Mid-Atlantic state, this thesis explores the experiences of ADSC providers – such as directors, activity staff, and nurses – as they navigated pandemic-related closures. To ensure uninterrupted services, centers leveraged their existing infrastructure and adapted to a remote service model. An intricate interplay of technical (e.g., access to devices, internet) to non-technical (e.g., digital literacy, sociocultural context, limited staff) variables affected the overall success of remote services. Simultaneously, ADSCs grappled with limited reimbursement for remote services – which directly impacted their operations and the sustainability of remote services. These findings offer insights into the challenges and adaptations providers experienced amidst an unprecedented crisis, shedding light on the systemic issues throughout this period. The study seeks to inform future interventions that promote the sustainability of remote services in ADSCs, with a specific focus on preventing service disruptions for historically underserved populations.

description: In previous work we identified six Sun-like stars observed by Kepler with exceptionally clear asteroseismic signatures of rotation. Here, we show that five of these stars exhibit surface variability suitable for measuring rotation. In order to further constrain differential rotation, we compare the rotation periods obtained from light-curve variability with those from asteroseismology. The two rotation measurement methods are found to agree within uncertainties, suggesting that radial differential rotation is weak, as is the case for the Sun. Furthermore, we find significant discrepancies between ages from asteroseismology and from three different gyrochronology relations, implying that stellar age estimation is problematic even for Sun-like stars.

description: Adults with cancer may be at risk for limitations in functional status and quality of life (QOL). Occupational therapy is a supportive service with the specific mission to help people functionally engage in life as safely and independently as possible with the primary goal of improving QOL. Unfortunately, for people with cancer, occupational therapy remains underused. The overall purpose of this review is to provide an understanding of what occupational therapy is and its relevance to patients with cancer, highlight the reasons to refer, and, last, provide general advice on how to access services.

description: We provide a novel analysis of Wald's sequential probability ratio test based on information theoretic measures for symmetric thresholds, symmetric noise, and equally likely hypotheses under the assumption that the test exactly terminates at one of the thresholds. This test is optimal in the sense that it yields the minimum mean decision time. To analyze the decision-making process we consider information densities, which represent the stochastic information content of the observations yielding a stochastic termination time of the test. Based on this, we show that the conditional probability to decide for hypothesis $\mathcal{H}_1$ (or the counter-hypothesis $\mathcal{H}_0$) given that the test terminates at time instant $k$ is independent of time $k$. An analogous property has been found for a continuous-time first passage problem with two absorbing boundaries in the contexts of non-equilibrium statistical physics and communication theory. Moreover, we study the evolution of the mutual information between the binary variable to be tested and the output of the Wald test. Notably, we show that the decision time of the Wald test contains no information on which hypothesis is true beyond the decision outcome.

A First Class Boolean Sort in First-Order Theorem Proving and TPTP

description: To support reasoning about properties of programs operating with boolean values one needs theorem provers to be able to natively deal with the boolean sort. This way, program properties can be translated to first-order logic and theorem provers can be used to prove program properties efficiently. However, in the TPTP language, the input language of automated first-order theorem provers, the use of the boolean sort is limited compared to other sorts, thus hindering the use of first-order theorem provers in program analysis and verification. In this paper, we present an extension FOOL of many-sorted first-order logic, in which the boolean sort is treated as a first-class sort. Boolean terms are indistinguishable from formulas and can appear as arguments to functions. In addition, FOOL contains if-then-else and let-in constructs. We define the syntax and semantics of FOOL and its model-preserving translation to first-order logic. We also introduce a new technique of dealing with boolean sorts in superposition-based theorem provers. Finally, we discuss how the TPTP language can be changed to support FOOL.

description: Polymorphic CYP2D6 is primarily responsible for metabolic activation of tamoxifen to endoxifen. We previously reported that by increasing the daily tamoxifen dose to 40 mg/day in CYP2D6 intermediate metabolizer (IM), but not poor metabolizer (PM), patients achieve endoxifen concentrations similar to those of extensive metabolizer patients on 20 mg/day. We expanded enrollment to assess the safety of CYP2D6 genotype-guided dose escalation and investigate concentration differences between races.

description: Endocrine therapy initiation after ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is highly variable and largely unexplained. National guidelines recommend considering tamoxifen for women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) DCIS or who undergo excision alone. We evaluated endocrine therapy use after DCIS over a 15-year period in an integrated health care setting to identify factors related to initiation.
Three Loop Neutrino Model with Isolated $k^{\pm\pm}$

description: We propose a three loop radiative neutrino mass scenario with an isolated doubly charged singlet scalar $k^{\pm\pm}$ without couplings to the charged leptons, while two other singly charged scalars $h_1^\pm$ and $h_2^\pm$ attach to them. In this setup, the lepton flavor violation originating from $k^{\pm\pm}$ exchanges is suppressed and the model is less constrained, where some couplings can take sizable values. As reported in our previous work, the loop suppression factor at the three loop level would be too strong and realized neutrino masses in a three loop scenario could be smaller than the observed minuscule values. The sizable couplings can help us to enhance neutrino masses without drastically large scalar trilinear couplings appearing in a neutrino mass matrix, which tends to drive the vacuum stability to become jeopardized at the one loop level. Now the doubly charged scalar $k^{\pm\pm}$ has less constraint via lepton flavor violation and the vacuum can be quite stable, and thus a few hundred GeV mass in $k^{\pm\pm}$ is possible, which is within the LHC reach and this model can be tested in the near future. Note that the other $h_1^\pm$ and $h_2^\pm$ should be heavy at least around a few TeV. We suitably arrange the charges of an additional global $U(1)$ symmetry, where the decay constant of the associated Nambu-Goldstone boson can be around a TeV scale consistently. Also, this model is indirectly limited through a global analysis on results of the LHC Higgs search and issues on a dark matter candidate, the lightest Majorana neutrino. After $h_1^\pm$ and $h_2^\pm$ are decoupled, this particle couples to the standard model particles only through two charge parity even scalars in theory and thus information on this scalar sector is important. Consistent solutions are found, but a part of them is now on the edge.
