description: Kinematic misalignment between gas and stellar components observed in a certain fraction of galaxies. It believed to be caused by acquisition of gas from the external reservoir by major or minor mergers, accretion from cosmological filaments or circumgalactic medium, etc. We aim to constrain possible sources of the gas that forms counter-rotating component. We derived the gas-phase oxygen abundance in 69 galaxies with kinematic misalignment between gas and stellar components from MaNGA DR17 survey and compared it with the metallicity expected according to the mass-metallicity relation. We found that the oxygen abundance of the counter-rotating gas in our sample is higher than 8.2 dex that excludes significant role of inflow of pristine gas. Meanwhile, there is a significant difference in the oxygen abundance of the counter-rotating gas between red and blue galaxies. In general, the oxygen abundance is lower than expected for their stellar mass in red galaxies, but is compatible with or even higher than typical values for their stellar mass in blue galaxies. We showed that the exchange of enriched gas between galaxies is the most plausible mechanism for explaining the metallicity of counter-rotating gas components in galaxies of all masses and colors. Meanwhile, minor mergers may play a significant role in the formation of counter-rotating gas components in red and quenched galaxies.

description: Family-based interventions with children who are affected by HIV and AIDS are not well established. The Collaborative HIV Prevention and Adolescent Mental Health Program (CHAMP) represents one of the few evidence-based interventions tested in low-income contexts in the US, Caribbean and South Africa. This paper provides a description of the theoretical and empirical bases of the development and implementation of CHAMP in two of these countries, the US and South Africa. In addition, with the advent of increasing numbers of children infected with HIV surviving into adolescence and young adulthood, a CHAMP+ family-based intervention, using the founding principles of CHAMP, has been developed to mitigate the risk influences associated with being HIV positive.

description: Auroville is a small intentional community in South India with a population of around 2000 people. It started out as a utopian experiment in 1973 and today is a small close knit community engaging in sustainable practices. Like all other utopias that were celebrated around the same time, the vision for Auroville was dictated by a single individual. Auroville adheres to the larger universal ideal of utopia – non ownership of land, abolition of the power of money, centralized dining hall, rotational community work to avoid boredom, unending education etc, yet there are certain intricacies that are unique to this intentional community. Through this paper, I would like to focus on the basic principles Auroville was laid out with, and today after forty years gauge its success or failure in realizing its Utopian goals. All utopias are based on places and people, on striving to achieve perfection or a better world for humanity. Idealism is fundamental to any utopia yet the degree of its manifestation decides whether it is perceived as a utopia or almost on the verge of being labeled as a dystopic society.
Clusterized nuclear matter in the (proto-)neutron star crust and the symmetry energy

description: Though generally agreed that the symmetry energy plays a dramatic role in determining the structure of neutron stars and the evolution of core-collapsing supernovae, little is known in what concerns its value away from normal nuclear matter density and, even more important, the correct definition of this quantity in the case of unhomogeneous matter. Indeed, nuclear matter traditionally addressed by mean-field models is uniform while clusters are known to exist in the dilute baryonic matter which constitutes the main component of compact objects outer shells. In the present work we investigate the meaning of symmetry energy in the case of clusterized systems and the sensitivity of the proto-neutron star composition and equation of state to the effective interaction. To this aim an improved Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium (NSE) model is developed, where the same effective interaction is consistently used to determine the clusters and unbound particles energy functionals in the self-consistent mean-field approximation. In the same framework, in-medium modifications to the cluster energies due to the presence of the nuclear gas are evaluated. We show that the excluded volume effect does not exhaust the in-medium effects and an extra isospin and density dependent energy shift has to be considered to consistently determine the composition of subsaturation stellar matter. The symmetry energy of diluted matter is seen to depend on the isovector properties of the effective interaction, but its behavior with density and its quantitative value are strongly modified by clusterization.

description: The mechanisms responsible for generating spin-orbit misalignments in exoplanetary systems are still not fully understood. It is unclear whether these misalignments are related to the migration of hot Jupiters or are a consequence of general star and planet formation processes. One promising method to address this question is to constrain the distribution of spin-orbit angle measurements for a broader range of planets beyond hot Jupiters. In this work, we present the sky-projected obliquity ($λ=-68.1_{-14.7}^{+21.2} \,^{\circ}$) for the warm sub-Saturn TOI-1842b, obtained through a measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect using WIYN/NEID. Using the projected obliquity, the stellar rotation period obtained from the TESS light curve, and the projected rotation velocity from spectral analysis, we infer the 3D spin-orbit angle ($ψ$) to be $ψ=73.3^{+16.3}_{-12.9} \,^{\circ}$. As the first spin-orbit angle determination made for a sub-Saturn-mass planet around a massive ($M_{\rm *}=1.45 \,{\rm M_\odot}$) star, our result presents an opportunity to examine the orbital geometries for new regimes of planetary systems. When combined with archival measurements, our observations of TOI-1842b support the hypothesis that the previously established prevalence of misaligned systems around hot, massive stars may be driven by planet-planet dynamical interactions. In massive stellar systems, multiple gas giants are more likely to form and can then dynamically interact with each other to excite spin-orbit misalignments.

description: The article discusses the issue of the other that is widely manifested in literature and cultural studies, however has little presence in the school practice. The implementation of cultural studies to school curricula can bring numerous benefits to teaching Polish language and literature. A broadly conceived interest in the otherness, the other and multiculturalism as seen in the literature can be reflected in humanistic education. Cultural and ethnic otherness cannot be treated stereotypically or as the great absent. To successfully address the problem, however, the Polish school has yet to open up for the issue of multi- and interculturalism.

description: Asymmetric information is widely supposed to impair the functioning of markets. We show that the presence of competition may invalidate this intuition. Consider a market in which principals compete for attracting heterogeneous agents by offering contracts. Suppose contracts are exclusive, and there are constant returns to trade. When the agents' types are publicly observed under mild conditions, competitive equilibria are efficient. Efficiency is also obtained when types are privately observed, provided that principals do not directly care about the agents' private information (the private value case). Thus hidden information only matters in competitive markets if it affects common values.
The Link Between Ejected Stars, Hardening and Eccentricity Growth of Super Massive Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei

description: The hierarchical galaxy formation picture suggests that super massive black holes (MBHs) observed in galactic nuclei today have grown from coalescence of massive black hole binaries (MBHB) after galaxy merging. Once the components of a MBHB become gravitationally bound, strong three-body encounters between the MBHB and stars dominate its evolution in a "dry" gas free environment, and change the MBHB's energy and angular momentum (semi-major axis, eccentricity and orientation). Here we present high accuracy direct N-body simulations of spherical and axisymmetric (rotating) galactic nuclei with order a million stars and two massive black holes that are initially unbound. We analyze the properties of the ejected stars due to slingshot effects from three-body encounters with the MBHB in detail. Previous studies have investigated the eccentricity and energy changes of MBHs using approximate models or Monte-Carlo three body scatterings. We find general agreement with the average results of previous semi-analytic models for spherical galactic nuclei, but our results show a large statistical variation. Our new results show many more phase space details of how the process works, and also show the influence of stellar system rotation on the process. We detect that the angle between the orbital plane of the MBHBs and that of the stellar system (when it rotates) influences the phase-space properties of the ejected stars. We also find that massive MBHB tend to switch stars with counter-rotating orbits into co-rotating orbits during their interactions.

description: In this article, I discuss various issues related to the region and regional education, and their manifestation in the core curriculum of primary schools. To that end I have compared two core curricula (from 2002 and 2008) that were implemented in public schools but not applied at all levels of general education. First, I explain the meaning of three terms: region, regionalism, and regional education. Then I turn to the manifestation of regional issues in both curricula. Upon comparison, I found that the curriculum from 2008 does not advance the concept of little homeland but relies on the ideas promulgated in the 2002 curriculum. As the state regulations from 2008 granted teachers more freedom to choose from different topics, the main changes in advancing regional issues have been seen in the in the first, third, and fourth stage of education. The second stage of education, however, has remained largely unchanged with almost no discussion of regional issues.

description: This article analyzes hiphop as a multicultural manifestation of the youth culture. The youth culture is understood as the content offered for the young generation by the popular culture. It is perceived as the result of complex processes that start with local youth groups, cultural innovations and various rituals. The author describes the beginning of hiphop culture in the urban ethnic dimension and goes on to analyze its core manifestations such as rap, graffiti, and break dance. The author traces ways in which rap, graffiti and break dance were created, interpreted, and assimilated according to the needs of multicultural exemplification of youth’s local identities. This article also indicates the possibility of using elements of hiphop youth culture in the prevention projects realized in multicultural environments.

description: Misalignments between planetary orbits and the equatorial planes of their host stars are clues about the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Earlier work found evidence for a peak near $90^\circ$ in the distribution of stellar obliquities, based on frequentist tests. We performed hierarchical Bayesian inference on a sample of 174 planets for which either the full three-dimensional stellar obliquity has been measured (72 planets) or for which only the sky-projected stellar obliquity has been measured (102 planets). We investigated whether the obliquities are best described by a Rayleigh distribution, or by a mixture of a Rayleigh distribution representing well-aligned systems and a different distribution representing misaligned systems. The mixture models are strongly favored over the single-component distribution. For the misaligned component, we tried an isotropic distribution and a distribution peaked at 90$^\circ$, and found the evidence to be essentially the same for both models. Thus, our Bayesian inference engine did not find strong evidence favoring a "perpendicular peak,'' unlike the frequentist tests. We also investigated selection biases that affect the inferred obliquity distribution, such as the bias of the gravity-darkening method against obliquities near $0^\circ$ or $180^\circ$. Further progress in characterizing the obliquity distribution will probably require the construction of a more homogeneous and complete sample of measurements.

cultural and moral formation of personality of gymnasium school graduates

description: This article analyses the formation and development of foreign language education in Russia. The concepts of foreign language education and foreign language learning are not identical. The result of foreign language education is the formation of a linguistic personality who knows the language, the history, traditions and culture of the people. The system of foreign language education was constantly transforming, reflecting the political and economic needs of the Russian state. The main periods of foreign language education development in the 19th to early 20th century are considered, including the civic-educational, general educational and culturological periods. The civic-educational period the main goal of gymnasium education was to educate and foster patriotism and active civic and creative attitudes in students. The general education period the main goal of gymnasium education was to promote the mental, spiritual and cultural development of their students, fostering in them a sense of patriotism, love for their homeland and a morality and strength of character. The culturological period the main goal of gymnasium education was to contribute to the general education of students by developing mental abilities and practical language proficiency. Different types of upper secondary (gymnasium) education, as well as the educational and disciplinary scope of foreign language education in pre-revolutionary Russia are discussed.

The focus is on the situation in Luxembourg. The influence wielded by the neighboring regions is considered in relation to (1) the close proximity bringing together germanophone and francophone (Wallonia, i.e. the French speaking part of Belgium and France) traditions; and in relation to (2) the development of the grand duchy and its stately independence starting in 1815. Furthermore, the author examines the cultural shift initiated by the migration of Italian and Portuguese families at the end of the 19 th century and its influence on musical life and music education in Luxembourg.

description: The first goal of this paper is to provide a simple and general test of the presence of asymmetric information in contractual relationships within a competitive context. We also argue that insurance data are particularly well suited to such empirical investigations. To illustrate this claim, we use data on contracts and accidents to investigate the extent of asymmetric information in the French market for automobile insurance. Using various parametric and nonparametric methods, we find no evidence for the presence of asymmetric information in this market.

description: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment records data from proton-proton (pp) and heavy ion (Pb-Pb and Pb-p) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to search for physics beyond the Standard Model, test theories of supersymmetry (SUSY), and measure properties of known particles with higher precision. In 2025, the LHC will be upgraded to the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), where the luminosity will be increased by a factor of 10. This will increase the number of pile-up collisions to 140-200 events per proton-proton bunch crossing, compared to the current 40 events per crossing (where each bunch crossing occurs every 25 ns). In order to fully exploit the sensitivity of the CMS experiment, the current detectors must be upgraded to mitigate the effects of the large number of pileup interactions expected in collisions at the HL-LHC. New capabilities, such as precision timing measurements in calorimetric devices and minimum ionizing detectors, have been shown to effectively mitigate the effects due to pileup, and are expected to benefit the overall physics reach of the experiment. In addition to mitigating pileup and increasing the detector capabilities, precision timing is beneficial in the search for particles beyond the Standard Model. A simulation of a benchmark long lived neutralino SUSY search is presented, and it is shown that the generator particle flight times can be faithfully reconstructed using the detector-level information. Identification algorithms for the SUSY model have been significantly improved with the use of a Boosted Decision Tree, and it is demonstrated that this algorithm has many benefits as compared to cut based IDs. With use of the BDT for the long lived neutralino SUSY model, the background rejection is increased significantly, with constant signal acceptance of 53.6%. This is an improvement in the significance of the signal selection by a factor of 2.38. Further improvement is seen with the inclusion of detector timing information in the BDT – with this contributing ≈25% of the information used in signal event identification. We thus demonstrate that with the BDT, the SUSY neutralino search can be performed with increased signal identification significance, and the searches’ sensitivity is expected to improve with the time resolution attained by the upgraded CMS calorimeter.

description: The current research focuses on the concept of tolerance level, both on the behalf of local residents of European countries accepting migrants, and migrants themselves towards local population. The surveys were conducted in focus groups in Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Poland, while the expert interviews were collected in Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The surveys conducted by the IMAGRI in Europe in December 2021 – January 2022 and compelled to be continued in the form of expert interviews after February 24 2022, allow us to answer the question about the attitude of post-Soviet migrants to European values and prospects of Europe and Europeans in the light of "force majeure" migration, that is the avalanche-like resettlement of millions of Ukrainian residents to Europe. IMAGRI has been working in Brussels since 2009 studying migration from post-Soviet countries emerged on the territory of the collapsed USSR, in particular, the WMA category, or "advanced migration" previously concentrating on women, and in the latest research expanded to all educated migrants of both genders. Highly educated migrants, who are placed in the center of IMAGRI’s attention, possess well-developed intercultural communication skills, but in about half of the cases it does not solve the problems of their self-actualization in career and society.

description: Protons that are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field are one of the main threats to astronomical X-ray observatories. Soft protons, in the range from tens of keV up to a few MeV, impinging on silicon X-ray detectors can lead to a significant degradation of the detector performance. Especially in low earth orbits an enhancement of the soft proton flux has been found. A setup to irradiate detectors with soft protons has been constructed at the Van-de-Graaff accelerator of the Physikalisches Institut of the University of Tübingen. Key advantages are a high flux uniformity over a large area, to enable irradiations of large detectors, and a monitoring system for the applied fluence, the beam uniformity, and the spectrum, that allows testing of detector prototypes in early development phases, when readout electronics are not yet available. Two irradiation campaigns have been performed so far with this setup. The irradiated detectors are silicon drift detectors, designated for the use on-board the LOFT space mission. This paper gives a description of the experimental setup and the associated monitoring system.

description: Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication techniques have received great attention and gained significant development in recent years. In this paper, we analyze and compare the performances of different MIMO techniques. In particular, we compare the performance of three MIMO methods, namely, BLAST, STBC, and linear precoding/decoding. We provide both an analytical performance analysis in terms of the average receiver   and simulation results in terms of the BER. Moreover, the applications of MIMO techniques in WCDMA systems are also considered in this study. Specifically, a subspace tracking algorithm and a quantized feedback scheme are introduced into the system to simplify implementation of the beamforming scheme. It is seen that the BLAST scheme can achieve the best performance in the high data rate transmission scenario; the beamforming scheme has better performance than the STBC strategies in the diversity transmission scenario; and the beamforming scheme can be effectively realized in WCDMA systems employing the subspace tracking and the quantized feedback approach.

description: The concept of diversity entails the development of strategies that capitalize on the diverse cultural potential of the members of a heterogeneous group and explores that potential in a constructive way. In principle, this might be a good idea but it runs the risk of binding cultural potentials within so-called multicultural (learners) groups (of pupils) to their origins/descents, thus strengthening positive racism. In contrast, the new concept of identity operates in terms of a plural or fragmented self, or a patchwork biography, in which the individual is no longer bound by the predetermined factors of one’s identity, such as gender, place of residence, profession of parents or origin/descent. Rather, one has to solve the task of constructing one’s identity over and over again throughout one’s whole life, balancing and integrating different senses of cultural belonging. This article presents both concepts referring to multicultural learners/learning groups. It also discusses whether the theoretical base of diversity and identity rule themselves out in the end or whether there are common assumptions, which reflects the precepts of intercultural music education.

description: We present a theoretical study of the influence of the relativistic effects on electronic band structure and thermopower of Mg2X(X= Si, Ge, Sn) semiconductors. The full potential Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) method is used, and the detailed comparison between the fully relativistic and semi-relativistic electronic structure features is done. We show that the spin-orbit (S-O) interaction splits the valence band structure at Gamma point in good agreement with the experimental data, and this effect strongly depends on X atom. The S-O modifications of the topology of the Gamma-centered hole-like Fermi surface pockets lead to a change in electron transport properties, which are investigated using the Boltzmann approach. In addition, the simple and efficient method is presented for the calculation of density of states effective mass m*, and then used to examine the impact of relativistic effects on m*. It is found that S-O coupling of the valence bands reduces effective mass and therefore significantly lowers the thermopower, primarily in Mg2Sn, but also in Mg2Ge. A detrimental influence of the S-O interaction on thermoelectric performance of p-type Mg2X is analyzed in function of temperature (10-900 K) and carrier concentration (10^18-10^22 cm-3). Interestingly, similar calculations in n-type Mg2X, show negligible effect of the S-O interaction on lowest conduction bands and consequently also on the Seebeck coefficient.

description: Rapid development of Ukrainian piano school is an inseparable part of European piano school’s evolution in the 20 th century. The article is aimed at describing pianists’ performance practice and its role in the development of national culture as well as at surveying the genesis of musical educational tradition and establishment of piano methodology. Ukrainian piano school is defined as a phenomenon of cultural and the 20 th century 6 periods are singled out. Special attention in the structure of piano school is drawn to musical educative activities, its development having facilitated reconceptualization of the content of piano education and teaching methodology throughout different periods. The author emphasizes that piano schools leaders and their followers realized their intellectual and creative potential in various performing activities and original teaching techniques. Piano class is considered as a special musical and creative space at an arts educational establishment where traditions are kept and transformed, new ideas emerge, creative views of young music teachers, who are the followers of mother piano schools, come to life and develop.

description: Three quantum particles with on-site repulsion and nearest-neighbour attraction on a one-dimensional lattice are considered. The three-body Schroedinger equation is reduced to a set of single-variable integral equations. Energies of three-particle bound complexes (trions) are found from self-consistency of the approximating matrix equation. In the case of spin-1/2 fermions, the ground state trion energy, the excited state energies, the trion spectra and stability regions are obtained for total spins S = 1/2 and S = 3/2. In the S = 1/2 sector, a narrow but finite parameter region is identified where the ground state consists of a stable fermion pair and an unbound fermion. Also presented is the reference case of spin-0 bosons.

description: Recent evidence implicates adult hippocampal neurogenesis in regulating behavioral
and physiologic responses to stress. Hippocampal neurogenesis occurs across the
lifespan, however the rate of cell birth is up to 300% higher in adolescent mice
compared to adults. Adolescence is a sensitive period in development where emotional
circuitry and stress reactivity undergo plasticity establishing life-long set points. Therefore
neurogenesis occurring during adolescence may be particularly important for emotional
behavior. However, little is known about the function of hippocampal neurons born during
adolescence. In order to assess the contribution of neurons born in adolescence to
the adult stress response and depression-related behavior, we transiently reduced cell
proliferation either during adolescence, or during adulthood in GFAP-Tk mice. We found
that the intervention in adolescence did not change adult baseline behavioral response in
the forced swim test, sucrose preference test or social affiliation test, and did not change
adult corticosterone responses to an acute stressor. However following chronic social
defeat, adult mice with reduced adolescent neurogenesis showed a resilient phenotype.
A similar transient reduction in adult neurogenesis did not affect depression-like behaviors
or stress induced corticosterone. Our study demonstrates that hippocampal neurons born
during adolescence, but not in adulthood are important to confer susceptibility to chronic
social defeat.
