description: Accurate species-level identification is pivotal for environmental assessments and monitoring. The PERU LNG terminal is composed of large marine infrastructure located on the central coast of Peru. Since construction, taxonomically challenging species such as drum fishes (Sciaenidae) have been attracted to the new hard-bottom habitat. We conducted a DNA barcoding study to investigate fish diversity and constructed a DNA barcode reference library. We examined 56 vouchered specimens and identified 24 unique species. Intra- and interspecific divergence estimates ranged between 0 and 0.64% and 11 and 35.5%, respectively. We assessed the efficiency of the reference library to identify 29 non-vouchered specimens. We had 82.5% efficiency by using both our reference library (n = 17) and GenBank (n = 24). We highlight the importance of implementing molecular barcoding for complementing biodiversity assessments in marine environments. This study represents a first step towards generating a comprehensive DNA barcode reference library for marine fishes in Peru.

description: The moving sofa problem, posed by L. Moser in 1966, asks for the planar shape of maximal area that can move around a right-angled corner in a hallway of unit width. It is known that a maximal area shape exists, and that its area is at least 2.2195... - the area of an explicit construction found by Gerver in 1992 - and at most $2\sqrt{2}=2.82...$, with the lower bound being conjectured as the true value. We prove a new and improved upper bound of 2.37. The method involves a computer-assisted proof scheme that can be used to rigorously derive further improved upper bounds that converge to the correct value.

description: We report a study of the structural phase transitions induced by pressure in bulk black phosphorus by using both synchrotron x-ray diffraction for pressures up to 12.2 GPa and Raman spectroscopy up to 18.2 GPa. Very recently black phosphorus attracted large attention because of the unique properties of fewlayers samples (phosphorene), but some basic questions are still open in the case of the bulk system. As concerning the presence of a Raman spectrum above 10 GPa, which should not be observed in an elemental simple cubic system, we propose a new explanation by attributing a key role to the non-hydrostatic conditions occurring in Raman experiments. Finally, a combined analysis of Raman and XRD data allowed us to obtain quantitative information on presence and extent of coexistences between different structural phases from ~5 up to ~15 GPa. This information can have an important role in theoretical studies on pressure-induced structural and electronic phase transitions in black phosphorus.
Eurocarers' Policy Paper on Young Carers
Creators: name: Yghemonos, Stecy
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2024

description: Demographic ageing in Europe is leading to an increasing need for care and a serious challenge for the sustainability of our social and healthcare systems. Informal carers across the EU currently provide over 80 per cent of all care. If not adequately supported, caring can have many difficult consequences for carers. Carers should not be socially and economically penalised as a result of their caregiving activities. Measures designed to support them should therefore aim to recognise them and their vital role in society, provide them with the essential information and counselling they need, give them access to allowances that offset the costs they face and truly values their contribution, develop flexible working arrangements and care leave schemes to allow them to maintain an active life, and improve the provision of equitable and accessible formal care services to ensure carers can rely on professional alternatives to informal care. This policy paper makes clear why it is necessary to address the challenges faced by young carers. It briefly discusses different forms of support measures and makes recommendations for better support for Young Carers

Young carers research, practice and policy: an overview and critical perspective on possible future directions
Creators: name: Joseph, Stephen
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2024

description: Many children, adolescents, teenagers, and young adults have caring responsibilities for parents and family members. These young carers and young adult carers are present in every country. Their responsibilities include domestic chores as well as intimate personal care and other forms of helping which are generally seen as the responsibility of adult professionals. First, this article provides an overview and critical perspective on young carers research. Research suggests that 2-8 per cent of children and young people are carers and that the caring role has an impact on their education, health, wellbeing, social opportunities, and employment prospects. Various countries have responded differently with regards to policy: some have well developed services and recognition in law whilst others are only just beginning to recognise the problem. Second, we discuss the issues and challenges for research and propose a new agenda for the development of policy, research rigour, more theoretical sophistication, and a greater awareness of the need for interdisciplinary and multiagency working. Furthermore, we call for participatory and action led research that can provide greater insights into the lived experiences of young people, their needs and how these can be met.

Explaining the $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$ Anomalies With Right-handed Sneutrino

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The recent intriguing measurements of $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$ are important hints of new physics that violates lepton universality. We analyze the semileptonic decays $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ in the framework of the $B-L$ extension of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with Inverse Seesaw (BLSSMIS). A salient feature of this model is that one of the right-handed sneutrino can be light and the neutrino Yukawa couplings are of order one. We show that the box diagram mediated by right-handed sneutrino, higgsino-like chargino, and light stop can account simultaneously for both $R_{K}$ and $R_{K^*}$. Therefore, while the MSSM cannot explain the $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ anomalies, the BLSSMIS can account for them, where a significant lepton flavor non-universality might stem from large neutrino Yukawa couplings.

The first cross-national study of adolescent young carers aged 15-17 in six European countries
Creators: name: Lewis, Feylyn M.
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2024

description: For the first time, this article will provide a cross-national profile of adolescents who provide unpaid care to their ill or disabled family members in six European countries with varied levels of awareness, policy and service provision regarding adolescent young carers. Utilising an online survey, 2,099 adolescent young carers were identified in Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. This article focuses on the impact of unpaid care on their mental health, well-being, physical health and education. Their preferences for informal and formal support were also examined. These groundbreaking findings help promote a ‘rights’ approach to adolescent young carers, which can serve as a critical driver for supportive policy creation on both a country-specific and pan-European level.

Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2024

description: Across Europe, young carers (YCs) and their need for support receive limited attention in the media, policy and empirical research, even though, similar to adult carers, they also provide care to ill family members. The Delphi study, a qualitative research methodology, which provides the focus for this article, had the overall aim of exploring existing successful strategies to support YCs. Compared to YCs, even less is known about adolescent young carers (AYCs), a group that is in a critical life transition phase. The study forms part of an EU Horizon 2020 funded research project on AYCs aged 15-17 years old.

description: Motivated by recent questions about the extension of Courant's nodal domain theorem, we revisit a theorem published by C. Sturm in 1836, which deals with zeros of linear combination of eigenfunctions of Sturm-Liouville problems. Although well known in the nineteenth century, this theorem seems to have been ignored or forgotten by some of the specialists in spectral theory since the second half of the twentieth-century. Although not specialists in History of Sciences, we have tried to put these theorems into the context of nineteenth century mathematics.

The post-antibiotic era: An existential threat for humanity
Creators: name: Koesling, Dominik

Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2023

description: Currently, mankind is facing the risk of running out of working antibiotics. Such a post-antibiotic era bears tremendous risks such as globally spread or even pandemic bacterial infections. These infections become thus untreatable and possibly lethal, particularly endan-gering the health (care) of future generations. This paper discusses this acute concern for humanity in three main steps. After first elaborating on the role of antibiotics and the occur-ring resistance in modern medicine, the focus will be on the current scope of the problem of antibiotics and the prognosis of its future escalation. Then the possibility of a way out and its obstacles will be addressed, before finally assessing the existential threat of a post-antibiotic era.

description: Purpose: This study investigates the impact of a multicomponent intervention on the social communication and engagement of preschool children with complex communication needs (CCN) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and peers without disabilities.Method: Five dyads of children participated in this research. A multiple probe design across dyads was used to evaluate the effects of intervention on the frequency of communicative turns expressed by children with CCN and ASD in interactions with peers. Frequency of peer turns, percentage of turns taken by peers, and joint engagement were investigated to assess the quality of the interaction. The intervention included (a) provision of a communication app on an Apple iPad Air 2 and (b) dyadic turn-taking training.Results: Four of the 5 participants with CCN completed training and increased independent communicative turn-taking with peers. The 5th participant showed increased turn-taking during training but little change in independent turn-taking. All peers took more turns in intervention than in baseline, with no negative impact on the turn balance between participants. Average joint engagement increased for all dyads, although session-to-session variability was high.Conclusion: The results from this study provide support for the use of this intervention to promote peer interaction for children with CCN and ASD.

Human rights and climate risks for future generations: How moral obligations and the non-discrimination principle can be applied
Creators: name: Herrler, Christoph
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2023

description: From an ethical point of view, preventing the development of conditions that threaten the existence of future generations is a necessity; but to what extent can this argument be made using the language of human rights? I contend in this article that this language can provide us with arguments for extending greater consideration to the risks we may be imposing on future generations and the need for institutional representation of these generations’ interests. The application of a human rights perspective to issues of future concern enables us to formulate obligations to upcoming generations on the part of current ones. Further, I consider how the point in time in which a person is born represents a (morally wrong) ground for discrimination.

Unknown risks and the collapse of human civilisation: A review of the AI-related scenarios
Creators: name: Akah, Augustine U.
Publisher: name: Intergenerational Justice Review
Year: 2023

description: Science and technology have experienced a great transition, a development that has shaped all of humanity. As progress continues, we face major global threats and unknown existential risks even though humankind remains uncertain about how likely unknown risks are to occur. This paper addresses five straightforward questions: (1) How can we best understand the concept of (existential) risks within the broader framework of known and unknown? (2) Are unknown risks worth focusing on? (3) What is already known and unknown about AI-related risks? (4) Can a super-AI collapse our civilisation? Furthermore, (5) how can we deal with AI-related risks that are currently unknown? The paper argues that it is of high priority that more research work be done in the area of ‘unknown risks’ in order to manage potentially unsafe scientific innovations. The paper finally concludes with the plea for public funding, planning and raising a general awareness that the far-reaching future is in our own hands.

description: If $M$ is a finite volume complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold, the quantity $\mathcal A_1(M)$ is defined as the infimum of the areas of closed minimal surfaces in $M$. In this paper we study the continuity property of the functional $\mathcal A_1$ with respect to the geometric convergence of hyperbolic manifolds. We prove that it is lower semi-continuous and even continuous if $\mathcal A_1(M)$ is realized by a minimal surface satisfying some hypotheses. Understanding the interaction between minimal surfaces and short geodesics in $M$ is the main theme of this paper

description: We study the tunneling of virtual matter-antimatter pairs from the quantum vacuum in the presence of a spatially uniform, time-dependent electric background composed of a strong, slow field superimposed with a weak, rapid field. After analytic continuation to Euclidean spacetime, we obtain from the instanton equations two critical points. While one of them is the closing point of the instanton path, the other serves as an Euclidean mirror which reflects and squeezes the instanton. It is this reflection and shrinking which is responsible for an enormous enhancement of the vacuum pair production rate. We discuss how important features of two different mechanisms can be analysed and understood via such a rotation in the complex plane. a) Consistent with previous studies, we first discuss the standard assisted mechanism with a static strong field and certain weak fields with a distinct pole structure in order to show that the reflection takes place exactly at the poles. We also discuss the effect of possible sub-cycle structures. We extend this reflection picture then to weak fields which have no poles present and illustrate the effective reflections with explicit examples. An additional field strength dependence for the rate occurs in such cases. We analytically compute the characteristic threshold for the assisted mechanism given by the critical combined Keldysh parameter. We discuss significant differences between these two types of fields. For various backgrounds, we present the contributing instantons and perform analytical computations for the corresponding rates treating both fields nonperturbatively. b) In addition, we also study the case with a nonstatic strong field which gives rise to the assisted dynamical mechanism. For different strong field profiles we investigate the impact on the critical combined Keldysh parameter. [...]

description: Objective: Surgical data science is evolving into a research field that aims to observe everything occurring within and around the treatment process to provide situation-aware data-driven assistance. In the context of endoscopic video analysis, the accurate classification of organs in the field of view of the camera proffers a technical challenge. Herein, we propose a new approach to anatomical structure classification and image tagging that features an intrinsic measure of confidence to estimate its own performance with high reliability and which can be applied to both RGB and multispectral imaging (MI) data. Methods: Organ recognition is performed using a superpixel classification strategy based on textural and reflectance information. Classification confidence is estimated by analyzing the dispersion of class probabilities. Assessment of the proposed technology is performed through a comprehensive in vivo study with seven pigs. Results: When applied to image tagging, mean accuracy in our experiments increased from 65% (RGB) and 80% (MI) to 90% (RGB) and 96% (MI) with the confidence measure. Conclusion: Results showed that the confidence measure had a significant influence on the classification accuracy, and MI data are better suited for anatomical structure labeling than RGB data. Significance: This work significantly enhances the state of art in automatic labeling of endoscopic videos by introducing the use of the confidence metric, and by being the first study to use MI data for in vivo laparoscopic tissue classification. The data of our experiments will be released as the first in vivo MI dataset upon publication of this paper.

description: Portmanteau tests are typically used to test serial independence even if, by construction, they are generally powerful only in presence of pairwise dependence between lagged variables. In this article, we present a simple statistic defining a new serial independence test, which is able to detect more general forms of dependence. In particular, differently from the Portmanteau tests, the resulting test is powerful also under a dependent process characterized by pairwise independence. A diagram, based on p-values from the proposed test, is introduced to investigate serial dependence. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposal is evaluated in a simulation study and with an application on financial data. Both show that the new test, used in synergy with the existing ones, helps in the identification of the true data-generating process. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Gibberellins (GAs) and cytokinins (CKs) are hormones that play antagonistic roles in several developmental processes in plants. However, there has been little exploration of their reciprocal interactions. Recent work in Medicago truncatula has revealed that GA signalling can regulate CK levels and response in roots. Here, we examine the reciprocal interaction, by assessing how CKs and the CRE1 (Cytokinin Response 1) CK receptor may influence endogenous GA levels. Real-Time RT-PCR analyses revealed that the expression of key GA biosynthesis genes is regulated in response to a short-term CK treatment and requires the CRE1 receptor. Similarly, GA quantifications indicated that a short-term CK treatment decreases the GA1 pool in wild-type plants and that GA levels are increased in the cre1 mutant compared to the wild-type. These data suggest that the M. truncatula CRE1-dependent CK signaling pathway negatively regulates bioactive GA levels.

description: We present a rigorous proof that quantum circuit algorithm can be transformed into quantum adiabatic algorithm with the exact same time complexity. This means that from a quantum circuit algorithm of $L$ gates we can construct a quantum adiabatic algorithm with time complexity of $O(L)$. Additionally, our construction shows that one may exponentially speed up some quantum adiabatic algorithms by properly choosing an evolution path.

description: Composite pellet processes, such as ITmk3, are reported to have lower environmental emissions and increased energy efficiency compared to the blast furnace route. This paper proposes a mathematical model based on the mass and energy balance of the ITmk3 process following the basic principles of Rist diagrams. HSC Simulation has been used to calculate several process parameters such as the stoichiometric air requirement, air-preheating temperature and the off-gas composition of the composite pellet process for comparing to the Rist calculations. The Rist analysis suggests that the composite pellet process requires 7–14% of less carbon feed compared to the blast furnace. The heat loss from the composite pellet process has been estimated by utilising ITmk3 plant data and found to be in excess of 1.21 GJ. The heat demand of the composite pellet process at different degrees of post-combustion and heat recovery has also been reported.
Entwicklung und Erprobung eines medienintegrativen Deutschunterrichts in der Orientierungsstufe. Eine Produktions- und Rezeptionsstudie

description: Die vorliegende Forschungsarbeit gibt Auskunft darüber, ob ein Deutschunterricht, der nach medienintegrativen Prinzipien ausgerichtet ist, die Medienkompetenz der Schüler besser fördert als ein Unterricht, der traditionell eher buchorientiert gestaltet ist. Medienkompetenz wird hier als eine Basiskompetenz des Deutschunterrichts verstanden, die mehrere elementare Grundfähigkeiten beinhaltet.

 Nach unterschiedlichen Erhebungen und teils internationalen Vergleichstudien wie z.B. PISA, TIMSS und anderen Vergleichsstudien befindet sich das deutsche Schulsystem in einem Wandel. Es wird darüber diskutiert, welche Fähigkeiten Heranwachsende zur Bewältigung ihres Alltags benötigen. Diese Veränderungen gibt es im Unterrichtsfach Deutsch ebenfalls. Eine wichtige Veränderung der letzten Jahrzehnte ist der Umgang mit Medien. Kaum ein anderer Bereich hat so viel Einfluss auf das Leben der Menschen. Gerade die Entwicklung der Neuen Medien in den letzten 10 bis 20 Jahren hat diese Tendenz noch einmal verstärkt. Der Deutschunterricht ist der Entwicklung in dieser Zeit nur sehr schwerfällig begegnet. Hier stand und steht bisher nur ein einziges Medium im Vordergrund: Der gedruckte Text. Dies bedingt, wenn man die Fülle der Medien betrachtet, die es im Moment gibt, eine sehr eingeschränkte Sichtweise. Man muss deshalb die Frage stellen, ob ein solcher Deutschunterricht noch den gesellschaftlichen Realitäten entspricht, auf die er Kinder und Jugendliche vorbereiten soll. Der gedruckte Text ist gesellschaftlich gesehen nicht mehr das alleinbestimmende Medium. In vielen Bereichen wurde er durch visuelle und multimediale Medien in seiner Rolle als Leitmedium abgelöst. Manchmal ist der gedruckte Text Teil eines Medienverbundes, welcher viele verschiedene mediale Ausprägungen beinhaltet. Eine Chance hierzu besteht nicht in der völligen Abkehr vom Buch im Deutschunterricht, sondern in einer sinnvollen Kombination verschiedener Medien.

 Das Konzept des medienintegrativen Deutschunterrichts klingt somit sehr vielversprechend. Es soll helfen, bestimmte Kompetenzen im Umgang mit unterschiedlichen Medien im Alltag zu fördern. Innerhalb des Forschungszeitraums von einem Jahr wurde eine 5. Klasse eines Gymnasiums in der Orientierungsstufe medienintegrativ unterrichtet. Es wurden die dazu möglichen Mittel des Lehrplans ausgeschöpft. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes wurden dann an verschiedenen Stellen Daten gesammelt, um die erlangte Medienkompetenz der Schüler zu dokumentieren. Da Medienkompetenz aus einem Bündel von Einzelkompetenzen besteht, mussten hier ebenfalls Kombinationen aus qualitativen und quantitativen Forschungsmethoden verwendet werden. Eine parallele Lerngruppe diente als Kontrollgruppe. Die Arbeit schließt mit einer ausführlichen Diskussion der Ergebnisse.

description: This document, the Deliverable D1.4, describes how KPIs are collected and integrated into the project and how those KPIs can be used for different verticals and architecture validations. This document describes the KPI Collection Framework that will be available in the 5G-EVE project. In particular, it describes how KPIs are collected and integrated into the project and how those KPIs can be used for different vertical and architecture validations.
 The document is structured as follows:
 • Chapter two describes the framework expectation.
 • Chapter three identifies a high-level view of the key components for the KPI collection framework. First, we introduce the different usability of the KPIs information during the industries services valida-tion, following with an introduction to the KPI architecture. Then we describe several mechanisms for the recollection of data and how the MEC, as standardized by ETSI, can be used for KPI generation. Finally, we will evaluate the performance architecture and the simulation tools to support the proposed Use Cases. In the last subchapter we analyze the aggregation and correlation of the generated infor-mation.
 • Chapter four details the KPI information sources from the 5G Infrastructure, including the activity log files, the configuration data, active and passive probes and monitoring devices that will be used in the network validation.
 • Chapter five details the KPIs sources from the several vertical service applications, including the activ-ity log files, the configuration data, the active probes and the monitoring devices that will be used in the services validation.
 • Chapter six describes the different uses of KPIs information in terms of different use cases, where we have included a description of the six use cases supported initially in the project, and also in terms of architecture including the NSA/SA deployments, the targeted coverage area and the new 5G radio en-vironmental factors.
 • Chapter seven concludes the document giving some remarks and future line of work.

description: Observations are reported regarding the effect of taurine consumption on goitrogenesis, and potential carcinogenesis, on a patient who is the author himself. While not being statistically significant, for being based on the statistics of one, the observations may support the following conjectures. (i) Taurine may be able to overstimulate the thyroid under normal and even under suppressed levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), conceivably due to overstimulation of T4 to T3 conversion in the thyroid itself. In higher doses, its role in goitrogenesis and potential thyroid carcinogenesis may have to be reexamined. (ii) In the early stages of thyroid cancer, an "active surveillance" strategy has recently been advocated. Here, we present preliminary evidence suggesting that a combination of immune system stimulation, natural interferones and digestive enzymes could supplement the "active surveillance" strategy in a beneficial way. A potential role of the enzyme-supported immunotherapy, to supplement other forms of treatment, might be explored for other variants of early-state cancer.

description: Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics have revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity and gene expression patterns. In this study, we constructed the single-cell and spatial atlas of pig testis cells and identified the trajectory of germ cells and cell-cell communication to dissect the pig spermatogenesis process. Our findings shed new light on the molecular mechanisms underlying pig spermatogenesis and present a valuable resource for future studies investigating reproduction and breeding of pigs.
