description: Constructing observables that describe the localization of relativistic particles is an important foundational problem in relativistic quantum field theory (QFT). The description of localization in terms of single-time observables leads to conflict with the requirement of causality. In this paper, we describe particle localization in terms of time-of-arrival observables, defined in terms of the interaction between a quantum field and a measuring apparatus. The resulting probabilities are linear functionals of QFT correlation functions. Specializing to the case of a scalar field, we identify several time-of-arrival observables differing on the way that the apparatus localizes particle-detection records. Maximum localization is obtained for a unique observable that is related to the Newton-Wigner position operator. Finally, we define a measure of localizability for relativistic particles in terms of a novel time-energy uncertainty relation for the variance of the time of arrival.

Obituary Intimacies: Exploring the Sonic Cultivations of Intimacy in Podcast Storytelling

description: The funny thing about death and dying is the cultural perception of death as a visual and sonic landscape occupied by only absence. There is a tendency to believe that, at the end of life, the only thing present is the bareness of our grief. While one should never discount the monumental presence of grief, it is important to remember that grief is only given life through its connection to the senses. The truth is that when people die, there is a rush of affects, images, sounds, smells and sensations that facilitate the process of a life ending, and that, while each sensation is important, there are some senses better attuned to transmitting affects that help us communicate the stories our grief embodies. This paper explores how those stories about death get told through the podcasting medium by focusing in on the Fable and Folly Network’s podcast, Death by Dying (2020), a comedy fiction podcast that tells the tales of the dying through our host, the Obituary Writer. Employing a queerfeminist death studies lens, this paper seeks to examine how this podcast re-conceptualizes stories of death and dying in a norm-critical way. This podcast challenges the normative prescriptions of obituary writing, which typically consists of a short article generally characterized by life-affirming qualities and remarks on the deceased person’s greatest achievements, their kin and those they held dear, and who they leave behind, by asking listeners, instead, to get to know the dead by the obituary writer’s investigation into their death. This podcast creates an environment that is composed of the sonic-affective intimacies between the writer, the people he writes about (the dead), and those he writes for (us). In reorienting the audience’s relationship to death by forging critical intimacies between the dead and listeners, this podcast demonstrates a different way of re-conceptualizing how we come to know the dead.

description: The current work plans to study the accuracy due to FD approximation to the 3D nuclear HFB problem. By (1) taking the wave functions solved in harmonic oscillator (HO) basis, (2) representing the HFB problem in coordinate space using FD method, the current work carefully evaluates the error due to box discretization by examining the deviation of the resulted HFB matrix, the total energies in the coordinate space, from those calculated with HO method, the latter of which is free from numerical error within its model configuration. To estimate how the error (given by the box discretization schemes suggested above) accumulates with self-consistent iterations, self-consistent HF and HFB calculations (with two-basis method) has been carried out for doubly magic nuclei, $^{40}$Ca, $^{132}$Sn, and $^{110}$Mo. The resulted total energies are compared with those of HO basis, and 3D coordinate space calculations in literatures. The analysis shows that, for grid spacing $\le$0.6\,fm, the off-diagonal elements of the resulted HFB matrix elements (M.E.) are extremely small ($

description: Little is known about the extra costs faced by households with disabled members in low resource settings and the impact of these costs on living standards. In this paper we estimate the direct cost associated with disability for households in Cambodia. Using the Standard of Living approach, the direct cost associated with having a member with disabilities is estimated to be 19 per cent of monthly household consumption expenditure. Accounting for the direct cost of disability doubles the poverty rate amongst households with disabled members from 18 per cent to 37 per cent, and increases the poverty gap from 3 to 8 per cent. A comparison of the direct cost associated with disability and income support received from government and family sources reveals that only 7 per cent of the costs of disability are met. Our findings suggest that, in the absence of increased coverage of public income support, households with disabled members will continue to experience a lower standard of living compared to households without disability in Cambodia.

description: Inappropriate antibiotic use is a major cause of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, optimizing antibiotic usage is essential. In Belgium, optimization of antimicrobials for the fight against multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) is followed up by national surveillance by public health authorities. To improve appropriate antimicrobial use in hospitals, an effective national Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) program should include indicators for measuring both the quantity and quality of antibiotic use. The aim of this study was to develop a set of process quality indicators (QIs) to evaluate and improve AMS in hospitals. A RAND-modified Delphi procedure was used. The procedure consisted of a structured narrative literature review to select the QIs, followed by two online questionnaires and an intermediate multidisciplinary panel discussion with experts in infectious diseases from general and teaching hospitals in Belgium. A total of 38 QIs were selected after the RAND-modified Delphi procedure, from which 11 QIs were selected unanimously. These QIs address compliancy of antibiotic therapy and prophylaxis with local guidelines, documentation of the rationale for antibiotic treatment in the medical record, the availability of AMS Programs and Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy, resistance patterns and antimicrobial prescribing during focused ward rounds. Our study selected 38 relevant process QIs, from which 11 were unanimously selected. The QIs can contribute to the improvement of quality of antibiotic use by stimulating hospitals to present better outcomes and by providing a focus on how to intervene and to improve prescribing of antimicrobials.

description: This paper presents and describes the methodological opportunities offered by bibliometric data to produce indicators of scientific mobility. Large bibliographic datasets of disambiguated authors and their affiliations allow for the possibility of tracking the affiliation changes of scientists. Using the Web of Science as data source, we analyze the distribution of types of mobile scientists for a selection of countries. We explore the possibility of creating profiles of international mobility at the country level, and discuss potential interpretations and caveats. Five countries (Canada, The Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, and the United States) are used as examples. These profiles enable us to characterize these countries in terms of their strongest links with other countries. This type of analysis reveals circulation among and between countries with strong policy implications.

description: A measurement of the history of cosmic star formation is central to understand the origin and evolution of galaxies. The measurement is extremely challenging using electromagnetic radiation: significant modeling is required to convert luminosity to mass, and to properly account for dust attenuation, for example. Here we show how detections of gravitational waves from inspiraling binary black holes made by proposed third-generation detectors can be used to measure the star formation rate (SFR) of massive stars with high precision up to redshifts of ~10. Depending on the time-delay model, the predicted detection rates ranges from ~2310 to ~56,740 per month with the current measurement of local merger rate density. With 30,000 detections, parameters describing the volumetric SFR can be constrained at the few percent level, and the volumetric merger rate can be directly measured to 3% at z ~ 2. Given a parameterized SFR, the characteristic delay time between binary formation and merger can be measured to ~60%.

description: The next-to-leading-order (NLO) cross section for the production of heavy quarks at large transverse momenta ($p_\perp$) in $γγ$ collisions is calculated with perturbative fragmentation functions (PFF's). This approach allows for a resummation of terms $\proptoα_s\ln(p_\perp^2/m^2)$ which arise in NLO from collinear emission of gluons by heavy quarks at large $p_\perp$ or from almost collinear branching of photons or gluons into heavy-quark pairs. We present single-inclusive distributions in $p_\perp$ and rapidity including direct and resolved photons for $γγ$ production of heavy quarks at $e^+e^-$ colliders and at high-energy $γγ$ colliders. The results are compared with the fixed-order calculation for $m$ finite including QCD radiative corrections. The two approaches differ in the definitions and relative contributions of the direct and resolved terms, but essentially agree in their sum. The resummation of the $α_s \ln(p_\perp^2/m^2)$ terms in the PFF approach leads to a softer $p_\perp$ distribution and to a reduced sensitivity to the choice of the renormalization and factorization scales.

description: Economic reform in Russia is one of the most illuminating and educating orthodox stabilization experiences in completely non-market institutional environment. Thus it demonstrates extremely well all effects and constraints of orhtodox therapy in society subject to structural distortions and external shocks. In such a society "irrational" from the point of view of economic common sense behavior of many variables and parameters as well as weak effects of price signale sometimes make theoretic equations useless or diminish considerably their explanatory power. Unpredictable reactions of economic agents and macro-aggregates aggravate chaos in economic system which in turn hampers its transition toward some sort of stable trajectory. Chaos produced.by inadequate effects of governmental policy (especially taking into account its objectives) has as we can see in Russia very vulnerable consequences.

description: Midst is a semi-improvised sci-fantasy podcast, which is promoted for its unreliable mediation via three anonymous voices. The three narrators weave their story of a frontier planet caught between two contrasting sides of a fictional cosmos by continuously omitting descriptions, changing details, contradicting their statements, and questioning each other’s authority. The uttered word is presented as flexible and bound to shift, bend, and be entirely negated, along with everything that can be assumed about Midst’s fictional world. This paper will inquire how such a podcast can nonetheless produce a cohesive narrative by identifying and exploring infrastructural formations that permeate the auditive experience. It will suggest that its various forms of infrastructures are essential means of meaning-making, that work with and through Midst’s innate heterogeneity and paradoxes.

description: We present an X-ray spectral analysis of the nearby double radio relic merging cluster Abell 3376 ($z$ = 0.046), observed with the $Suzaku$ XIS instrument. These deep ($\sim$360 ks) observations cover the entire double relic region in the outskirts of the cluster. These diffuse radio structures are amongst the largest and arc-shaped relics observed in combination with large-scale X-ray shocks in a merging cluster. We confirm the presence of a stronger shock (${\cal M}_{\rm{W}}$ = 2.8 $\pm~0.4$) in the western direction at $r\sim26$', derived from a temperature and surface brightness discontinuity across the radio relic. In the East, we detect a weaker shock (${\cal M}_{\rm{E}}$ = 1.5 $\pm~0.1$) at $r\sim8$', possibly associated to the 'notch' of eastern relic, and a cold front at $r\sim3$'. Based on the shock speed calculated from the Mach numbers, we estimate that the dynamical age of the shock front is $\sim$0.6 Gyr after core passage, indicating that Abell 3376 is still an evolving merging cluster and that the merger is taking place close to the plane of the sky. These results are consistent with simulations and optical and weak lensing studies from the literature.

description: Several types of defensive Batesian mimicry seem to be much more common in plants than was historically and is currently considered. It is based either on visual aspects (shape, coloration, and even movement), on odors, and on combinations of both these sensing modalities. Various characters that seem to function as defensive Batesian mimicry, may also simultaneously take part in pollination, physiological functions, or in other defensive mechanisms. The defended models for the visual Batesian mimics in plants belong to several categories: (1) spiny, thorny and prickly plant species, (2) mechanically or chemically defended parts of the same individual plant, or other members of the same species (auto mimicry), (3) colorful and chemically defended plants, (4) dangerous animals (aggressive, toxic), (5) fungal attacks, (6) animal action and animal damage cues, and (7) oozing defensive white latex. Olfactory defended models include: (1) toxic plants, (2) animal alarm pheromones, and (3) animal carrion and feces odors. Many more descriptive, genetic, phylogenetic and experimental studies have to be done in order to better understand the role of defensive Batesian mimicry in plant biology.

High-precision measurements of the binary parameters allow them to send the signal ~ $10^4$ years before they themselves observe the merger signal. Using the SKA, we might receive ~ $10^4$ bits of data, transmitted from 40 Mpc distance with the output power of ~ 1 TW. We also discuss related topics for GW170817 and mention potential roles of future gravitational wave detectors in relation to this transmission scheme.

description: To provide real-world data on post-diuretic spot urine sodium concentration (UNa) assessment in acute heart failure (AHF) and its implications for treatment. Automated query of the electronic medical record identified patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit of a single tertiary care hospital between November 2018 and December 2021, who received intravenous loop diuretics. Detailed manual chart review confirmed the AHF diagnosis. Stratification was performed based on whether post-diuretic UNa was assessed within 24 h of admission. AHF was confirmed in 340/380 identified patients. Post-diuretic UNa was assessed in 117 (34%), more frequently when ejection fraction was reduced and heart failure more advanced. Patients with versus without post-diuretic UNa assessment received higher doses of intravenous loop diuretics and more frequently acetazolamide and thiazide-like diuretics (p < 0.001 for all), resulting in similar urine output despite more advanced heart failure [2,488 mL (1,740-4,033 mL) vs. 2,400 mL (1,553-3,250 mL), respectively; p = 0.170]. Diuretic therapy remained more intense at discharge in the post-diuretic UNa group, with also a higher prescription rate of angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitors (p = 0.021). Serum creatinine increases/decreases were similarly frequent irrespectively from UNa assessment, with more dynamic changes observed in patients with UNa ≤ 80 mmol/L versus ≥ 81 mmol/L. After adjustments for baseline characteristics, the risk for death or heart failure readmission was similar in patients with versus without UNa assessment [HR (95%CI) = 1.43 (0.88-2.32); p = 0.150]. Post-diuretic UNa assessment in AHF was associated with more intense diuretic regimens, preserving urine output despite its use in a sicker population.

description: New methods of calculating indices from the dot-probe task measure temporal dynamics in attention bias or fluctuations in attention bias towards and away from emotional stimuli over time. However, it is unclear how task-specific parameters such as stimulus valence and stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) as well as participant sex affect temporal dynamics in attention bias. To address this, male and female participants (N = 106) completed either a fearful or happy face dot-probe task with four levels of SOA (84 ms, 168 ms, 336 ms, and 672 ms). Results suggest that temporal dynamics in attention bias are (1) greatest at the longest SOA, (2) greater in females, and (3) insensitive to stimulus valence. These findings indicate that participant sex and task timing, but not stimulus valence, are related to temporal dynamics in attention bias and should be considered in future studies utilizing this approach.

description: Decoherence of a quantum system (which then starts to display classical features) results from the interaction of the system with the environment, and is well described in the framework of the theory of continuous quantum measurements (CQM). Reviewed are the various approaches to the CQM theory, and the approach based on the effective complex Hamiltonians is discussed in greater detail. The effective complex Hamiltonian is derived from the restricted path integral, which emphasizes the role of information in the dynamics of the system being measured. The complex Hamiltonian is used for analyzing the CQM of energy in a two-level system. Such measurement is demonstrated to be capable of monitoring the quantum transition, and the back effect of monitoring on the probability of transition is analyzed. The realization of this type of measurement by a long series of soft observations of the system is presented.

description: Podcasts are a growing medium in continuing education and could be seen as a “parallel and informal higher educational system” (Shamburg 711). Even in kindergarten, podcasting constitutes a colorful creative process, ideal for the very young child who at this stage is developing both mentally and emotionally. The podcaster serves as a role model for young children and is also a figure they can connect to deeply and empathetically (Τheodosiadou, “Podcasting and Media Literacy”). Furthermore, the global coronavirus pandemic and resulting lockdown added new resonance to podcasts in the education field, and 2020 may be remembered “in history as the year of podcast teaching, and/or podcast learning” (Wake, Fox, and Strong, 30). This paper aims to map the growing significance of school podcasting as an empowering genre for very young children. A critical discourse analysis of four hours of a preschool podcast titled Perispomeni, as well as an ethnographic interview with the teacher-podcaster, highlights the way podcasts work to keep the relationships between the students and the school strong, as well as being a place of reference for children during difficult times, such as the pandemic.

Quantum teleportation with squeezed vacuum states
Creators: name: Milburn, G. J.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show how the partial entanglement inherent in a two mode squeezed vacuum state admits two different teleportation protocols. These two protocols refer to the different kinds of joint measurements that may be made by the sender. One protocol is the recently implemented quadrature phase approach of Braunstein and Kimble[Phys. Rev. Lett.{\bf 80}, 869 (1998)]. The other is based on recognising that a two mode squeezed vacuum state is also entangled with respect to photon number difference and phase sum. We show that this protocol can also realise teleportation, however limitations can arise due to the fact that the photon number spectrum is bounded from below by zero. Our examples show that a given entanglement resource may admit more than a single teleportation protocol and the question then arises as to what is the optimum protocol in the general case.

description: We aimed to develop a guidance on the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV tailored to the Belgian context. Different aspects of PrEP care were judged by an expert group of nine Belgian clinicians, seeking consensus for areas of controversies. PrEP should be considered in HIV negative patients at high risk of acquiring HIV. Currently, only oral tenofovir/emtricitabine is available in Belgium for PrEP, which can be used daily, or also event-driven in cisgender men and trans women who are not taking exogenous estradiol-based hormones. Personal counselling directed at medication adherence and sexual health should have a central role in PrEP care. At the initial assessment clinicians should give attention to symptoms of an acute HIV infection, the patients’ immunization status and renal function. A regular follow-up must be set up to diagnose HIV seroconversion, treat sexually transmitted infections, and manage side effects of PrEP. The Belgian guidance on the use of PrEP provides a point of reference for standard PrEP care in Belgium and will be periodically updated.

Electromagnetic emission of white dwarf binary mergers

description: It has been recently proposed that the ejected matter from white dwarf (WD) binary mergers can produce transient, optical and infrared emission similar to the "kilonovae" of neutron star (NS) binary mergers. To confirm this we calculate the electromagnetic emission from WD-WD mergers and compare with kilonova observations. We simulate WD-WD mergers leading to a massive, fast rotating, highly magnetized WD with an adapted version of the smoothed-particle-hydrodynamics (SPH) code Phantom. We thus obtain initial conditions for the ejecta such as escape velocity, mass and initial position and distribution. The subsequent thermal and dynamical evolution of the ejecta is obtained by integrating the energy-conservation equation accounting for expansion cooling and a heating source given by the fallback accretion onto the newly-formed WD and its magneto-dipole radiation. We show that magnetospheric processes in the merger can lead to a prompt, short gamma-ray emission of up to $\approx 10^{46}$ erg in a timescale of $0.1$-$1$ s. The bulk of the ejecta initially expands non-relativistically with velocity $0.01 c$ and then it accelerates to $0.1 c$ due to the injection of fallback accretion energy. The ejecta become transparent at optical wavelengths around $\sim 7$ days post-merger with a luminosity $10^{41}$-$10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$. The X-ray emission from the fallback accretion becomes visible around $\sim 150$-$200$ day post-merger with a luminosity of $10^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$. We also predict the post-merger time at which the central WD should appear as a pulsar depending on the value of the magnetic field and rotation period.

The Sarian Siren: A Conflux of Beautiful Monstrosity in Murder, Mystery, and Makeup
Creators: name: Thompson, Taylor
Publisher: name: Gramma: Journal of Theory and Criticism
Year: 2022
Subjects: podcast; beauty; monstrosity; crime narratives; popular culture

description: This article features a dual discussion of both monster studies as a growing field and the modern storytelling medium of the podcasting genre. By analyzing the themes included in YouTuber Bailey Sarian’s video series Murder, Mystery, and Makeup, we can see how monstrosity in humans not only persists in the twenty-first century but is seen as a continuation of the fascination with monstrosity perpetuated in classical times through myriad legends and lore. The siren, a particularly famous figure, was said to have tempted men with the knowledge that only they possessed, a draw that eventually morphed into the sexualization of the once sexless beings. Sarian seems to embody the siren in her work, providing us with knowledge that we are simultaneously disturbed by but can’t turn away from.

description: Underrepresentation of minority groups in clinical trials may hinder the potential benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this work was to determine whether participants in PR randomized control trials (RCTs) conducted in the U.S.A., Canada, the UK, and Australia are representative of ethnicity, sex, gender, and sociodemographic characteristics. A systematic search was performed for relevant literature from inception to December 2022. Titles and abstracts were screened before undergoing a full article review. Relevant data on reporting of age, sex, gender, ethnicity, and sociodemographic characteristics of participants was extracted. Thirty-six RCTs met the inclusion criteria. Only 6% of publications reported on ethnicity, with ≥90% of participants reported as ‘White.’ All 36 papers reported on age, with the mean between 60 and 69 years old. Thirty-five studies reported on sex (97%), with the majority (67%) reporting more male than female participants. There was no mention of different genders in any paper. Other sociodemographic factors were reported in 7 (19%) papers. Inclusivity and representation in clinical trials are essential to ensure that research findings are generalizable. Clinical trialists need to consider the demographics of today’s society during recruitment.

description: We point out that an unorthodox way to describe the production of rapidity gaps in deep inelastic scattering, recently proposed by Buchmüller and Hebecker, suggests a description of the production of heavy quark bound states which is in agreement with data. The approach questions the conventional treatment of the color quantum number in perturbative QCD.
