description: The United Nations Transition Assistance Group operation in Namibia in 1989 was a turning point in the shift from traditional peacekeeping procedure to a new generation of multidisciplinary process. It represented a political mission, a peacemaking mission and a peace building operation, all in one. The host country, Namibia can be found on the south-western part of the African continent. And today, it is considered to be a safe, stabile state where there are no gunfights or political persecution any more, so the country is rarely presented in the CNN news. This article is about the way how Namibia became a liberated state and about a successful new UN mission generation, along with the Hungarian role in police activities.

description: Many massive stars are part of binary or higher multiplicity systems. The present work focusses on two higher multiplicity systems: HD17505A and HD206267A. Determining the fundamental parameters of the components of the inner binary of these systems is mandatory to quantify the impact of binary or triple interactions on their evolution. We analysed high-resolution optical spectra to determine new orbital solutions of the inner binary systems. After subtracting the spectrum of the tertiary component, a spectral disentangling code was applied to reconstruct the individual spectra of the primary and secondary. We then analysed these spectra with the non-LTE model atmosphere code CMFGEN to establish the stellar parameters and the CNO abundances of these stars. The inner binaries of these systems have eccentric orbits with e ~ 0.13 despite their relatively short orbital periods of 8.6 and 3.7 days for HD17505Aa and HD206267Aa, respectively. Slight modifications of the CNO abundances are found in both components of each system. The components of HD17505Aa are both well inside their Roche lobe, whilst the primary of HD206267Aa nearly fills its Roche lobe around periastron passage. Whilst the rotation of the primary of HD206267Aa is in pseudo-synchronization with the orbital motion, the secondary displays a rotation rate that is higher. The CNO abundances and properties of HD17505Aa can be explained by single star evolutionary models accounting for the effects of rotation, suggesting that this system has not yet experienced binary interaction. The properties of HD206267Aa suggest that some intermittent binary interaction might have taken place during periastron passages, but is apparently not operating anymore.

description: This text offers food for thought about the psychosocial dimensions of power and their implications in the genesis and maintenance of a social order such as the current one, characterized by a profound crisis of civilization, in order to help identify adequate strategies to achieve a better understanding of the intertwining of unconscious and social dynamics that determine its current configuration and identify possible lines of development that allow it to lead to forms of configuration more consistent with the possibility of a cultural and spiritual development, peaceful and harmonious, of all kinds human. This reflection develops starting from the comparison between the two declinations of power over and power of, in relation to the relational dynamics of power (of the elite) with the other from oneself, according to the configurations of the latter as enemy or known friend, or - in a more productive way and according to a logic of reciprocity - according to that of the unknown friend, to be known, precisely - in a non-definable way - through a productively common doing, on the basis of the model of social coexistence proposed by Renzo Carli.

Loneliness in Older Adults as it Relates to Depression, Anxiety, and Life Satisfaction
Creators: name: Faber, Leah
Publisher: name: Midwestern University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Clinical Psychology

description:      Loneliness is a prevalent and significant issue among older adults in the United States (U.S.; Perissinotto et al., 2012, Theeke, 2009). According to Cacioppo’s et al. (2015) model, loneliness is a complex construct that consists of three different dimensions: Intimate Loneliness (absence of individuals who provide support in a crisis and affirm one’s values as a person), Relational Loneliness (absence of friendships and family connections), and Collective Loneliness (absence of individuals who collectively represent valued social identities or active networks). 

   Each of these dimensions of loneliness is representative of the unique experience of each individual, depending on their situation. Previous research has suggested that these distinct dimensions of loneliness may play differential mediating roles in the relationship between life satisfaction and depressive symptoms, as well as life satisfaction and social anxiety symptoms in young adults (Altermatt et al., 2018). Given the increasing population of older adults, understanding the role loneliness plays in their lives is critical (Perissinotto et al., 2012). Hence, the purpose of this study is to further understand the experience of loneliness in older adults using Cacioppo’s et al. (2015) three-dimensional model. 

    Specifically, this study will determine if loneliness plays a mediating role in the relationship between life satisfaction and depressive symptoms, as well as in the relationship between life satisfaction and anxiety symptoms among older adults. Depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, life satisfaction, and loneliness were measured using the Geriatric Depressive Scale (GDS), Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale. Results found that the significant relationship between depressive symptoms and life satisfaction was partially mediated by Intimate Loneliness and Relational Loneliness.

     It was also found that only Intimate Loneliness partially mediated the significant relationship between anxiety symptoms and life satisfaction in older adults. The Collective Loneliness dimension did not hold any significant mediating power in either relationship for older adults. These findings have several implications for older adults’ wellbeing and highlight the greater understanding of unique experiences of loneliness in later life.
Shape-phase transitions in mixed parity systems and the onset of octupole deformation

description: Shape-phase transitions in mixed parity boson systems are studied using mean field theory. It is shown that without parity projection, shape transitions in mixed parity systems are very similar to those in positive parity systems, both requiring a finite interaction strength for the onset of deformation. The shape-phase diagram in mixed parity systems, however, changes significantly after parity projection, with the critical point for the onset of octupole deformation moving to zero strength. Shape transitions in the Lipkin model are shown to exhibit the same features, indicating that this is a direct consequence of parity projection in finite, mixed parity systems independent of the nature of interacting particles.

description: Population protocols are a model for distributed computing that is focused on simplicity and robustness. A system of $n$ identical agents (finite state machines) performs a global task like electing a unique leader or determining the majority opinion when each agent has one of two opinions. Agents communicate in pairwise interactions with randomly assigned communication partners. Quality is measured in two ways: the number of interactions to complete the task and the number of states per agent. We present protocols for the majority problem that allow for a trade-off between these two measures. Compared to the only other trade-off result [Alistarh, Gelashvili, Vojnovic; PODC'15], we improve the number of interactions by almost a linear factor. Furthermore, our protocols can be made uniform (working correctly without any information on the population size $n$), yielding the first uniform majority protocols that stabilize in a subquadratic number of interactions.

description: Powder materials utilized in additive technologies were quantitatively analyzed by laser induced breakdown spectroscopy for the first time. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy mapping of loose metal powder attached to the double-sided adhesive tape provided high reproducibility of measurements even for powder mixtures with large difference of particles densities (tungsten carbide particles in nickel alloy powder). Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analytical capabilities for tungsten and carbon analysis were estimated by calibration curve construction and accuracy estimation by leave-one-out cross-validation procedure. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy techniques comparison revealed better results for laser induced breakdown spectroscopy analysis. Improved accuracy of analysis and capability to quantify light elements (carbon etc.) demonstrated large perspectives of laser induced breakdown spectroscopy as a technique for express on-site multelement analysis of powder materials utilized in additive technologies.

description: The wave of „Arab Spring” has generated an atmosphere of hope and enthusiasm within and beyond the borders of the Arab World. The journalists termed the process as the ,,Arab revolution” and it was expected that the downfall of old dictators would bring about basic changes in North Africa and the Middle East. Nevertheless, the results have remained limited yet. Although some authoritarian leaders have left the scene, this does not automatically mean a regime change. The structures and the reliable persons of the former dictators are still in power, as it is obvious in the case of the key country of the region, Egypt. If the protesters of the „Arab Spring” would like to reach a real breakthrough, which the scientists can call ,,revolution”, they must continue the efforts to transform the political and economic system of their countries into a modern one, which is able to give adequate answers to the internal and external challenges of the 21st century. Although there is no silver path for the success in this transformation, and each country should find her own way, it is likely that the halfway measures will not bring the hoped better life for the Arabs, and these insufficient solutions will only increase the gap between the different parts of the society – and between the Muslim world and the West.

description: Currently available methods for extracting saliency maps identify parts of the input which are the most important to a specific fixed classifier. We show that this strong dependence on a given classifier hinders their performance. To address this problem, we propose classifier-agnostic saliency map extraction, which finds all parts of the image that any classifier could use, not just one given in advance. We observe that the proposed approach extracts higher quality saliency maps than prior work while being conceptually simple and easy to implement. The method sets the new state of the art result for localization task on the ImageNet data, outperforming all existing weakly-supervised localization techniques, despite not using the ground truth labels at the inference time. The code reproducing the results is available at https://github.com/kondiz/casme .

The star deforms into a bar shape, shedding $\sim 4\%$ of its mass and $\sim 17\%$ of its angular momentum. The gravitational radiation is calculated in the quadrupole approximation. For a mass $M \sim 1.4$ M$_{\odot}$ and radius $R \sim 10$ km, the gravitational waves have frequency $\sim 4$ kHz and amplitude $h \sim 2 \times 10^{-22}$ at the distance of the Virgo Cluster. They carry off energy $ΔE/M \sim 0.1\%$ and radiate angular momentum $ΔJ/J \sim 0.7\%$.

description: The contributions of short-range nucleon-nucleon (NN) correlations, various meson exchange current (MEC) terms and the influence of $Δ$ isobar excitations (isobaric currents, IC) on exclusive two-nucleon knockout reactions induced by electron scattering are investigated. The nuclear structure functions are evaluated for nuclear matter. Realistic NN interactions derived in the framework of One-Boson-Exchange model are employed to evaluate the effects of correlations and MEC in a consistent way. The correlations correlations are determined by solving the Bethe-Goldstone equation. This yields significant contributions to the structure functions W_L and W_T of the (e,e'pn) and (e,e'pp) reactions. These contributions compete with MEC corrections originating from the $π$ and $ρ$ exchange terms of the same interaction. Special attention is paid to the so-called 'super parallel' kinematics at momentum transfers which can be measured e.g. at MAMI in Mainz.

description: Context. There is no consensus on the amplitude of the historical solar forcing. The estimated magnitude of the total solar irradiance difference between Maunder minimum and present time ranges from 0.1 to 6 W/m2 making uncertain the simulation of the past and future climate. One reason for this disagreement is the applied evolution of the quiet Sun brightness in the solar irradiance reconstruction models. This work addresses the role of the quiet Sun model choice and updated solar magnetic activity proxies on the solar forcing reconstruction. Aims. We aim to establish a plausible range of the solar irradiance variability on decadal to millennial time scales. Methods. The spectral solar irradiance (SSI) is calculated as a weighted sum of the contributions from sunspot umbra/penumbra, fac- ulae and quiet Sun, which are pre-calculated with the spectral synthesis code NESSY. We introduce activity belts of the contributions from sunspots and faculae and a new structure model for the quietest state of the Sun. We assume that the brightness of the quiet Sun varies in time proportionally to the secular (22-year smoothed) variation of the solar modulation potential. Results. A new reconstruction of the TSI and SSI covering the period 6000 BCE - 2015 CE is presented. The model simulates solar irradiance variability during the satellite era well. The TSI change between the Maunder and recent minima ranges between 3.7 and 4.5 W/m2 depending on the applied solar modulation potential. The implementation of a new quietest Sun model reduces, by approximately a factor of two, the relative solar forcing compared to the largest previous estimation, while the application of updated solar modulation potential increases the forcing difference between Maunder minimum and the present by 25-40 %.

description: Based on quantum hadrodynamics with a finite cutoff, the effective masses of vector mesons(ω, ρ) in nuclear medium are calculated. We use a low-energy effective Lagrangian which is obtained by integrating high-energy quantum fluctuations. Although we use an artificial cutoff, the cutoff-dependence can be removed order by order. It is shown that there is a strong correlation between the effective ω-meson mass and the effective nucleon mass at the normal density. It is also found that the effective ρ-meson mass m_ρ^* decreases as density increases. The rate of the decrease becomes smaller at high density. As a result, at the normal density, the m^*_ρ/m_ρis 0.85 \sim 0.95.

description: Mobile manipulation tasks are one of the key challenges in the field of search and rescue (SAR) robotics requiring robots with flexible locomotion and manipulation abilities. Since the tasks are mostly unknown in advance, the robot has to adapt to a wide variety of terrains and workspaces during a mission. The centaur-like robot Centauro has a hybrid legged-wheeled base and an anthropomorphic upper body to carry out complex tasks in environments too dangerous for humans. Due to its high number of degrees of freedom, controlling the robot with direct teleoperation approaches is challenging and exhausting. Supervised autonomy approaches are promising to increase quality and speed of control while keeping the flexibility to solve unknown tasks. We developed a set of operator assistance functionalities with different levels of autonomy to control the robot for challenging locomotion and manipulation tasks. The integrated system was evaluated in disaster response scenarios and showed promising performance.

description: A Hipoacusia Neurossensorial Súbita Idiopática (HNSSI), ou Surdez Súbita, é uma entidade nosológica cuja fisiopatologia, prognóstico e tratamento são ainda controversos. A Oxigenoterapia Hiperbárica (OHB) permite uma melhor oxigenação da cóclea e poderá ter um efeito benéfico na recuperação auditiva destes doentes.

Os autores apresentam uma análise retrospectiva dos resultados iniciais na nossa instituição na utilização da OHB no tratamento da HNSSI.

Numa análise global, a OHB obteve um bom resultado (perda audiométrica final 20dB) em 31,1% dos doentes. Como parte do tratamento inicial, a OHB obteve bom resultado em 47,6% dos doentes com uma recuperação média de 59,0% da perda audiométrica inicial. Como tratamento salvage permitiu bom resultado em 25,5% dos casos e uma recuperação média de 38,5% da perda audiométrica inicial.

A imprevisibilidade da doença e a existência de variáveis não controladas não permitem resultados conclusivos, a OHB poderá ter um papel importante no tratamento desta patologia.

description: This paper studies the model of the probe-drogue aerial refueling system under aerodynamic disturbances, and proposes a docking control method based on terminal iterative learning control to compensate for the docking errors caused by aerodynamic disturbances. The designed controller works as an additional unit for the trajectory generation function of the original autopilot system. Simulations based on our previously published simulation environment show that the proposed control method has a fast learning speed to achieve a successful docking control under aerodynamic disturbances including the bow wave effect.

description: In four dimensions a Gauss-Bonnet term in the action corre- sponds to a total derivative, and it does not contribute to the classical equations of motion. For higher-dimensional geometries this term has the interesting property (shared with other dimensionally continued Euler densities) that when the action is varied with respect to the metric, it gives rise to a symmetric, covariantly conserved tensor of rank two which is a function of the metric and its first and second order derivatives. Here we review the unification of General Relativity and electromagnetism in the classical five-dimen- sional, restricted (with g_55 = 1) Kaluza-Klein model. Then we discuss the modifications of the Einstein-Maxwell theory that results from adding the Gauss-Bonnet term in the action. The resulting four-dimensional theory describes a non-linear U(1) gauge theory non-minimally coupled to gravity. For a point charge at rest, we find a perturbative solution for large distances which gives a mass-dependent correction to the Coulomb potential. Near the source we find a power-law solution which seems to cure the short-distance divergency of the Coulomb potential. Possible ways to obtain an experimen- tal upper limit to the coupling of the hypothetical Gauss- Bonnet term are also considered.

description: We develop a density based topology optimization method for linear elasticity based on the cut finite element method. More precisely, the design domain is discretized using cut finite elements which allow complicated geometry to be represented on a structured fixed background mesh. The geometry of the design domain is allowed to cut through the background mesh in an arbitrary way and certain stabilization terms are added in the vicinity of the cut boundary, which guarantee stability of the method. Furthermore, in addition to standard Dirichlet and Neumann conditions we consider interface conditions enabling coupling of the design domain to parts of the structure for which the design is already given. These given parts of the structure, called the nondesign domain regions, typically represents parts of the geometry provided by the designer. The nondesign domain regions may be discretized independently from the design domains using for example parametric meshed finite elements or isogeometric analysis. The interface and Dirichlet conditions are based on Nitsche's method and are stable for the full range of density parameters. In particular we obtain a traction-free Neumann condition in the limit when the density tends to zero.

description: Collisional damping widths of giant dipole excitations are calculated in Thomas-Fermi approximation by employing the microscopic in-medium cross-sections of Li and Machleidt and the phenomenological Gogny force. The results obtained in both calculations compare well, but account for about 25-35% of the observed widths in $^{120}Sn$ and $^{208}Pb$ at finite temperatures.

description: Effects of final state interaction on asymmetries in inclusive scattering of polarized electrons on polarized 3He are investigated using consistent 3He bound state wave function and 3N continuum scattering states. Significant effects are found, which influence the extraction of the magnetic neutron form factor from A_T'. The enhancement found experimentally for A_TL' near the 3N breakup threshold, which could not be explained in calculations carried through in plane wave impulse approximation up to now, occurs now also in theory if the full final state interaction is included.

description: The purpose of this essay is to explore Hannah Arendt's notion of "political theory" while taking account of the development of two of the most fundamental ideas in her oeuvre, namely, "anti-Semitism" and "Jewish Politics." It shows that these two concepts developed as part of a political struggle that later became a more philosophical consideration. They are, therefore, best understood in relation to both kinds of thought. This dual context should be understood to what Arendt calls "political theory."
The Final Fate of Spherical Inhomogeneous Dust Collapse

description: We examine the role of the initial density and velocity distribution in the gravitational collapse of a spherical inhomogeneous dust cloud. Such a collapse is described by the Tolman-Bondi metric which has two free functions: the `mass-function' and the `energy function', which are determined by the initial density and velocity profile of the cloud. The collapse can end in a black-hole or a naked singularity, depending on the initial parameters characterizing these profiles. In the marginally bound case, we find that the collapse ends in a naked singularity if the leading non-vanishing derivative of the density at the center is either the first one or the second one. If the first two derivatives are zero, and the third derivative non-zero, the singularity could either be naked or covered, depending on a quantity determined by the third derivative and the central density. If the first three derivatives are zero, the collapse ends in a black hole. In particular, the classic result of Oppenheimer and Snyder, that homogeneous dust collapse leads to a black hole, is recovered as a special case. Analogous results are found when the cloud is not marginally bound, and also for the case of a cloud starting from rest. We also show how the strength of the naked singularity depends on the density and velocity distribution. Our analysis generalizes and simplifies the earlier work of Christodoulou and Newman [4,5] by dropping the assumption of evenness of density functions. It turns out that relaxing this assumption allows for a smooth transition from the naked singularity phase to the black-hole phase, and also allows for the occurrence of strong curvature naked singularities.

description: It is well known that residual electrostatic forces create significant difficulties to precise measurements of the Casimir force and to wide use of Casimir-operated microdevices. We experimentally demonstrate that with the help of Ar-ion cleaning of the surfaces it is possible to make electrostatic effects negligibly small as compared to the Casimir interaction. Our experimental setup consists of the dynamic atomic force microscope supplemented with an Ar-ion gun and argon reservoir. The residual potential difference between the Au-coated surfaces of a sphere and a plate was measured both before and after the in situ Ar-ion cleaning. It is shown that this cleaning decreases the magnitude of the residual potential by up to an order of magnitude and makes it almost independent on separation. The gradient of the Casimir force was measured using ordinary samples subjected to the Ar-ion cleaning. The obtained results are shown to be in good agreement with both previous precision measurements using the specially selected samples and with theoretical predictions of the Lifshitz theory. The conclusion is made that the suggested method of in situ Ar-ion cleaning is effective in reducing the electrostatic effects and therefore is a great resource for experiments on measuring the Casimir interaction and for Casimir-operated microdevices.

description: Although Fraxinellone (Frax) isolated from Dictamnus albus L. possessed excellent anti-hepatic fibrosis activity, oral administration of Frax suffered from the inefficient therapeutic outcome in vivo due to negligible oral absorption. At present, the oral formulation of Frax is rarely exploited. For rational formulation design, we evaluated preabsorption risks of Frax and found that Frax was rather stable while poorly dissolved in the gastrointestinal tract (78.88 μg/mL), which predominantly limited its oral absorption. Further solubility test revealed the outstanding capacity of cyclodextrin derivatives (CDs) to solubilize Frax (6.8–12.8 mg/mL). This led us to study the inclusion complexes of Frax with a series of CDs and holistically explore their drug delivery performance. Characterization techniques involving 1H-NMR, FT-IR, DSC, PXRD, and molecular docking confirmed the most stable binding interactions when Frax complexed with 6-O-α-D-maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin (G2-β-CD-Frax). Notably, G2-β-CD-Frax exhibited the highest solubilizing capacity, fast dissolution rate, and superior Caco-2 cell internalization with no obvious toxicity. Pharmacokinetic studies demonstrated markedly higher oral bioavailability of G2-β-CD-Frax (5.8-fold that of free drug) than other Frax-CDs. Further, long-term administration of G2-β-CD-Frax (5 mg/kg) efficiently inhibited CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in the mouse without inducing any toxicity. Our results will inspire the continued advancement of optimal oral Frax formulations for anti-fibrotic therapy.
Nucleonic resonance excitations and "missing resonances" in the $ω$ meson photoproduction

description: In this work, an improved quark model approach to the $ω$ meson photoproduction with an effective Lagrangian is reported. The {\it t}-channel {\it natural} parity exchange is consistently taken into account through the Pomeron exchange, while the {\it unnatural} parity exchange is described by the $π^0$ exchange. It shows that with very limited number of parameters, all the available experimental data in the low energy regime can be consistently accounted for in this framework. Effects from the intermediate nucleonic resonances are investigated in several polarization observables. The sensitivities of these observables to the resonance effects are probably the best way for identifying those so-called "missing resonances" in the baryon spectrum.

A Lagrangian probability-density-function model for collisional turbulent fluid-particle flows. I. Model derivation

description: Inertial particles in turbulent flows are characterised by preferential concentration and segregation and, at sufficient mass loading, dense particle clusters may spontaneously arise due to momentum coupling between the phases. These clusters, in turn, can generate and sustain turbulence in the fluid phase, which we refer to as cluster-induced turbulence. In the present theoretical work, we tackle the problem of developing a framework for the stochastic modelling of moderately dense particle-laden flows, based on a Lagrangian formalism, which naturally includes the Eulerian one. A rigorous formalism and a general model have been put forward focusing, in particular, on the two ingredients that are key in moderately dense flows, namely, two-way coupling in the carrier phase, and the decomposition of the particle-phase velocity into its spatially correlated and uncorrelated components. Specifically, this last contribution allows to identify in the stochastic model the contributions due to the correlated fluctuating energy and to the granular temperature of the particle phase, which determines the time scale for particle-particle collisions. Applications of the Lagrangian probability-density-function model developed in this work to moderately dense particle-laden flows are discussed in a companion paper.
