description: This systematic review aims to investigate the effects of intermittent energy restriction (IER) on anthropometric outcomes and intermediate disease markers. A systematic literature search was conducted in three electronic databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included if the intervention lasted ≥12 weeks and IER was compared with either continuous energy restriction (CER) or a usual diet. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed for eight outcomes. Certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE. Seventeen RCTs with 1328 participants were included. IER in comparison to a usual diet may reduce body weight (mean difference [MD]: −4.83 kg, 95%-CI: −5.46, −4.21; n = 6 RCTs), waist circumference (MD: −1.73 cm, 95%-CI: −3.69, 0.24; n = 2), fat mass (MD: −2.54 kg, 95%-CI: −3.78, −1.31; n = 6), triacylglycerols (MD: −0.20 mmol/L, 95%-CI: −0.38, −0.03; n = 5) and systolic blood pressure (MD: −6.11 mmHg, 95%-CI: −9.59, −2.64; n = 5). No effects were observed for LDL-cholesterol, fasting glucose, and glycosylated-hemoglobin. Both, IER and CER have similar effect on body weight (MD: −0.55 kg, 95%-CI: −1.01, −0.09; n = 13), and fat mass (MD: −0.66 kg, 95%-CI: −1.14, −0.19; n = 10), and all other outcomes. In conclusion, IER improves anthropometric outcomes and intermediate disease markers when compared to a usual diet. The effects of IER on weight loss are similar to weight loss achieved by CER.

description: A conducive regulatory environment is crucial for ensuring the safety and effective promotion of insects for direct and indirect human consumption. In this review, national and regional policies, regulations, and relevant publications in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) were examined for their take on the use of insects as food and feed. Majority of the SSA countries (91.7%) lacked food safety policies, and of the four countries (8.3%) that had, only one considered the ‘risk-based approach’ for assessing food safety. Two policies, one in Malawi and the other in Tanzania respectively, recognized insects’ use. The lack of regulatory frameworks in most SSA countries is partly attributed to inadequate scientific data regarding insects’ biological, chemical and physical safety. This potentially exposes consumers to health hazards and limits income from insect and insect-based food and feed operations. However, some information and/or data to inform policy, and in a few cases to develop standards, has been generated by several research and development projects in the region. The need for supportive regulations toward the use of insects has been recognized and is being acted upon in a number of SSA countries. For effective promotion of insects as food and feed in SSA, countries need to generate risk assessment data as recommended by Codex Alimentarius and develop and implement relevant standards.

description: Trees are facing increasing water stress. To understand their resilience capabilities, we must characterize their root-zone structure and ability to access soil moisture. Electrical resistivity (ER) timelapse observations reveal insights into daily root-driven, soil-moisture movement. Here, we apply a novel empirical orthogonal frequency (EOF) analysis to ER data to assess the seasonality of tree rooting-zones. EOF analysis extends traditional Principal Component Analysis to spatial data to identify dominant spatiotemporal patterns capturing the most variance in the dataset. We applied this tool on data from three sites on different hillslopes in the Kings River Experimental Watershed, Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory. At each site, we collected ER from two ~18-m lines for 48 hours in Oct. 2022, June and Oct. 2023 and May 2024 to assess large-scale soil conductivity. The survey periods represent both wet and dry periods. We inverted each ER survey into timelapse models. To contextualize the ER, we installed sapflow sensors on white-fir (Abies concolor) trees for transpiration, vapor-pressure deficit sensors for air water demand, and soil-moisture probes for soil water. The EOFs fitted to our data show clear conductivity (i.e., soil moisture) cycles that start rising ~6am and decreasing between ~5-8pm. The spatial modes show an active rooting zone expanding during drier surveys (Oct. 2022 and 2023) versus wetter surveys (June 2023 and May 2024), indicating deeper water uptake in dry conditions. We shows the first application of EOFs on ER and identify seasonality in root-drive diel soil-moisture cycles, enhancing understanding of trees’ response to water stress.

description: Recently there has, been growing a increase in consumption of poultry meat in Poland. The most important material for slaughter poultry are broilers. Among factors that influence rising demand for poultry meat are: low price, availability of raw materials and promotional campaigns of safe nutrition. Its nutritional and sensory value makes it a choice product. University students are a specific group that has aroused the interest of nutritionists. The students’ lifestyle is characterised by high active social life and intense responsibilities, which ought to be augmented with a carefully chosen diet. The youth do not only have significant impact on the family purchasing decisions but display a strong purchasing power due to financial resources at their disposal and would in the future become mature and rational consumers. The article lists factors that determine purchasing needs, reasons for choice of markets and the consumption frequency of broiler meat. The feeling of lack of other products coupled with current sales promotions were, in the opinion of the students surveyed, often responsible for the decision to purchase of broiler chicken meat. Low price and the ease of preparation were also key reasons for the choice of this meat product. Responding students noted that skinless chicken breast fillet was most commonly consumed.

description: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of quality catering services on the increase of consumers’ confidence. The survey data were collected among 200 inhabitants of the district town of the province of Silesia taking into account their gender, age and occupational status. The research tool was the authoring questionnaire. The scope of the research included the quality of catering services, including customer service, and the level of customer satisfaction and know why the use of catering services. The results indicate a close correlation between the quality of catering services (cleanliness of premises, interior design, appearance / hygiene service staff) and customers’ satisfaction. The majority of the respondents seldom use the food service and catering establishments; they choose affordable business premises, mostly fast food. Then, their attention is paid to their own tastes and prices, of the offered dishes. For the polled a very important criterion for choosing a place is the service staff of the establishment (manners, hygiene, appearance). The quality of catering services is very important for the customers, as it determines the choice of the catering facility and increases consumers’ loyalty in the institution.

description: We introduce a family of paired-composite-fermion trial wave functions for any odd Cooper-pair angular momentum. These wave functions are parameter-free and can be efficiently projected into the lowest Landau level. We use large-scale Monte Carlo simulations to study three cases: Firstly, the Moore-Read phase, which serves us as a benchmark. Secondly, we explore the pairing associated with the anti-Pfaffian and the particle-hole-symmetric Pfaffian. Specifically, we assess whether their trial states feature exponentially decaying correlations and thus represent gapped phases of matter. For Moore-Read and anti-Pfaffian we find decay lengths of $ξ_\text{Moore-Read}=1.30(5)$ and $ξ_\text{anti-Pfaffian}=1.38(14)$, in units of the magnetic length. By contrast, for the case of PH-Pfaffian, we find no evidence of a finite length scale for up to $56$ particles.

description: Lensing by galaxy clusters is a versatile probe of cosmology and extragalactic astrophysics, but the accuracy of some of its predictions is limited by the simplified models adopted to reduce the (otherwise untractable) number of degrees of freedom. We aim at cluster lensing models where the parameters of all cluster-member galaxies are free to vary around some common scaling relations with non-zero scatter, and deviate significantly from them if and only if the data require it. We have devised a Bayesian hierarchical inference framework, which enables the determination of all lensing parameters and of the scaling-relation hyperparameters, including intrinsic scatter, from lensing constraints and (if given) stellar kinematic measurements. We achieve this through BayesLens, a purpose-built wrapper around common parametric lensing codes for the lensing likelihood that can sample the posterior on parameters and hyperparameters, which we release with this paper. We have run functional tests of our code against simple mock cluster lensing datasets with realistic uncertainties. The parameters and hyperparameters are recovered within their 68% credibility ranges, and the positions of all the "observed" multiple images are accurately reproduced by the BayeLens best-fit model, without overfitting. We have shown that an accurate description of cluster member galaxies is attainable, despite the large number of degrees of freedom, through fast and tractable inference. This extends beyond the state-of-the-art of current cluster lensing models. The precise impact on studies of cosmography, galaxy evolution and high-redshift galaxy populations can then be quantified on real galaxy clusters. While other sources of systematics exist and may be significant in real clusters, our results show that the contribution of intrinsic scatter in cluster-member populations can now be controlled.

description: The main goal of the work is to analyse the changes in the work profitability of Polish agriculture. The analysis was based on the Economic Accounts for Agriculture, i.e. the current EU harmonized financial statements allowing for analysis of the economic situation in agriculture according to uniform principles. The basis of the research was formed by proposed indicator systems operating profitability and factor analysis (method logarithm). Studies have shown that in the post-accession period, the profitability in agriculture was increasing in real terms on average by 4.47%, and in 2013 in relation to 2004, the level of profitability of labour was higher in real terms by almost 60%. In the light of the factor analysis, as the main determinants of changes in operating profitability in the domestic agriculture, the increase in labour productivity and production subsidies will be indicated.

The carried out analysis show that it is possible to apply the HACCP system rules in secondary schools. Implementation of the HACCP system rules in schools can be beneficial in four areas: economically-financial, organisational, educational and social. Moreover, the education security would increase, the intellectual loss and failure of students would be diminished and on the educational market an increase of competitiveness and trust to school and its graduates would be observed.

description: The three-dimensional velocity field of a propeller driven liquid metal flow is reconstructed by a contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT). The underlying theory is presented within the framework of an integral equation system that governs the magnetic field distribution in a moving electrically conducting fluid. For small magnetic Reynolds numbers this integral equation system can be cast into a linear inverse problem for the determination of the velocity field from externally measured magnetic fields. A robust reconstruction of the large scale velocity field is already achieved by applying the external magnetic field alternately in two orthogonal directions and measuring the corresponding sets of induced magnetic fields. Kelvin's theorem is exploited to regularize the resulting velocity field by using the kinetic energy of the flow as a regularizing functional. The results of the new technique are shown to be in satisfactory agreement with ultrasonic measurements.

Mass Loss Timescale of Star Clusters in External Tidal Field

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate evolution of star clusters in external tidal field by means of $N$-body simulations. We followed seven sets of cluster models whose central concentration and strength of the tidal field are different. We found that the mass loss timescale due to escape of stars, $t_{mloss}$, and its dependence on the two-body relaxation timescale, $t_{rh,i}$, are determined by the strength of the tidal field. The logarithmic slope [$= dln(t_{mloss})/dln(t_{rh,i})$] approaches to near unity for the cluster models in weaker tidal field. The timescale and the dependence are almost independent of the central concentration for clusters in the tidal field of the same strength. In our results, the scaling found by Baumgardt (2001) can be seen only in the cluster models with moderately strong tidal field.

description: In many real world networks, the number of links increases nonlinearly with the number of nodes. Models of such accelerated growth have been considered earlier with deterministic and stochastic number of links. Here we consider stochastic accelerated growth in a network where links are directed. With the number of out-going links following a power law distribution, the results are similar to the undirected case. As the accelerated growth is enhanced, the degree distribution becomes independent of the ``initial attractiveness'', a parameter which plays a key role in directed networks. As an example of a directed model with accelerated growth, the citation network is considered, in which the distribution of the number of outgoing link has an exponential tail. The role of accelerated growth is examined here with two different growth laws.

Planning for success : mnemonics for prospective memory
Creators: name: Siu, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Prospective memory (ProM) is the ability we have for forming intentions, retaining them, and carrying them out at the appropriate time or in the appropriate context. Although a large number of external aids are available for supporting ProM (e.g., daytimers, personal digital assistants, post-it stickers), very little is known about internal aids - mnemonics - that could be used to augment ProM. The present study focused on one class of mnemonics for ProM - planning strategies. Planning strategies are activities assumed to yield a clearer specification of intentions and of way-points to their attainment, as well as a more concrete articulation of the means required for their attainment. In the present work, we explored the types of planning strategies that could be used for different kinds ProM tasks, the subject-rated frequency and likelihood of using each type of strategy, and whether training participants in the use of strategies would result in improved performance on ProM tasks. Planning strategies for time allocation, organizing task-relevant resources, and identifying and recording task-relevant information were revealed. Participants rated the strategies as effective and likely to be used for various time and event based ProM tasks. Participants who were trained in the use of task relevant planning strategies were significantly more likely to successfully execute three ProM tasks over the course of 1 week.
Why do some spotted stars become bluer as they become fainter?

description: Chromospherically active, spotted stars generally become redder as well as fainter when large starspots rotate into view on the stellar disc. However, the RS CVn system UX Ari (a triple-lined system), becomes bluer as it gets fainter. One possible explanation is that hot, bright facular regions accompany the cool, dark photospheric spots of the active component. The bluer flux of the hotter, inactive component does not appear to be sufficient to explain the observed behaviour. We have begun a search for additional chromospherically active stars with a similar relation between colour and brightness, to investigate whether these relations can be explained in the same way. Our results for V711 Tau are presented here, and we conclude that the faculae explanation holds also in this case.

description: Inferring the processes underlying the emergence of observed patterns is a key challenge in theoretical ecology. Much effort has been made in the past decades to collect extensive and detailed information about the spatial distribution of tropical rainforests, as demonstrated, e.g., in the 50 ha tropical forest plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama. These kind of plots have been crucial to shed light on diverse qualitative features, emerging both at the single-species or the community level, like the spatial aggregation or clustering at short scales. Here, we build on the progress made in the study of the density correlation functions applied to biological systems, focusing on the importance of accurately defining the borders of the set of trees, and removing the induced biases. We also pinpoint the importance of combining the study of correlations with the scale dependence of fluctuations in density, which are linked to the well known empirical Taylor's power law. Density correlations and fluctuations, in conjunction, provide an unique opportunity to interpret the behaviors and possibly to allow comparisons between data and models. We also study such quantities in models of spatial patterns and, in particular, we find that a spatially explicit neutral model generates patterns with many qualitative features in common with the empirical ones.

description: We present the results of the B, V and I photometry of eleven southern minor mergers. The total apparent B magnitude, integrated B-V and V-I colours were measured. We built B, V, and I equivalent profiles for each galaxy and decomposed them into bulge and disk components when possible. From H$α$+N[II] images we have estimated the basic photometric parameters of the HII regions, such as position, size, B-V and V-I colours, H$α$+[NII] luminosity and $EW(Hα+[NII])$ equivalent width. We found a linear correlation between the luminosity ratios of the components and their ratio of major diameters, leading to mass ratios between 0.04 $

title: Open Educational Resources and Language Teachers' Professional Practice: a Case Study of Engagement with OER
Creators: name: Beaven, Tita
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Open Educational Resources (OER) are educational materials that are in the public domain or published with an open license. The OER lifecycle involves users locating, adapting, reusing and sharing OER. In the past fifteen years considerable funding has been devoted to creating OER repositories; however, it appears that the promise of OER has not been fully realised, and the anticipated adoption, reworking and sharing has had only limited success. There have been very few studies of ‘real world’ reuse of OER, and there have been questions about whether reuse is indeed occurring at all. This case study explores engagement with OER from a specific OER collection, LORO (Languages Open Resources Online, www.loro.open.ac.uk), by teachers on two blended beginners’ language courses at The Open University, UK. It fills a gap in research by investigating the teachers’ practices in order to ascertain whether they follow the steps in the OER lifecycle, as this might have a positive influence in their teaching. The research also seeks to understand the often tacit professional knowledge that teachers draw on when engaging with OER, as it has been argued that, through open educational practices, this tacit knowledge can be made explicit, and therefore useable and shareable, and thus contribute to enhancing teaching quality. The study found that teachers engage with the steps of the OER lifecycle: they find and reuse resources in their teaching, and adapt them to suit their specific requirements. Most of the teachers in the study mix resources they find with others they create themselves. Although they do not share them back through LORO, they do share them through other, less public means, especially with colleagues and students. Some of the teachers’ cognitive, affective and systemic tacit professional knowledge was also made explicit, a first step towards making it usable and shareable.

description: Let k be a field of characteristic zero, V a smooth, positive-dimensional, quasiprojective variety over k, and D a nonempty effective divisor on V. Let K be the function field of V, and A the semilocal ring of D in K. In this paper, we prove the Diophantine undecidability of: (1) A, in all cases; (2) K, when k is (formally) real and V has a real point; (3) K, when k is a subfield of a p-adic field, for some odd prime p. To achieve this, we use Denef's method: from an elliptic curve E over Q, without complex multiplication, one constructs a quadratic twist E' of E over Q(t), which has Mordell-Weil rank one. Most of the paper is devoted to proving (using a theorem of R. Noot) that one can choose f in K, vanishing at D, such that the group E'(K) deduced from the field extension K/Q(f)=Q(t) is equal to E'(Q(t)). Then we mimic the arguments of Denef (for the real case) and of Kim and Roush (for the p-adic case).

description: Data augmentation is one of the most effective ways to make end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) perform close to the conventional hybrid approach, especially when dealing with low-resource tasks. Using recent advances in speech synthesis (text-to-speech, or TTS), we build our TTS system on an ASR training database and then extend the data with synthesized speech to train a recognition model. We argue that, when the training data amount is relatively low, this approach can allow an end-to-end model to reach hybrid systems' quality. For an artificial low-to-medium-resource setup, we compare the proposed augmentation with the semi-supervised learning technique. We also investigate the influence of vocoder usage on final ASR performance by comparing Griffin-Lim algorithm with our modified LPCNet. When applied with an external language model, our approach outperforms a semi-supervised setup for LibriSpeech test-clean and only 33% worse than a comparable supervised setup. Our system establishes a competitive result for end-to-end ASR trained on LibriSpeech train-clean-100 set with WER 4.3% for test-clean and 13.5% for test-other.

description: Societal expectations about agricultural production are changing. There are increased demands on issues such as food safety, animal welfare and the impact of agriculture on the environment (land, water and air). These changes have been refl ected in the European Union’s (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), but information on these issues is lacking and this complicates the required evaluation of policies. The EU Framework 7 project FLINT tries to close this gap by analysing the feasibility of collecting data on these new topics. FLINT has established a data infrastructure with up-to-date farm-level indicators for the monitoring and evaluation of the CAP. The project created a pilot network of more than 1,000 farms to collect a set of sustainability indicators at farm level. The pilot represents farm diversity at EU level, including the different administrative environments in the Member States. This paper sets out the context and the main contributions of the project.

description: Phonons are fundamentally important for many materials properties, including thermal and electronic transport, superconductivity, and structural stability. Here, we describe a method to compute phonons in correlated materials using state-of-the-art DFT+DMFT calculations. Our approach combines a robust DFT+DMFT implementation to calculate forces with the direct method for lattice dynamics using nondiagonal supercells. The use of nondiagonal instead of diagonal supercells drastically reduces the computational expense associated with the DFT+DMFT calculations. We benchmark the method for typical correlated materials (Fe, NiO, MnO, SrVO$_3$), testing for $\mathbf{q}$-point grid convergence and different computational parameters of the DFT+DMFT calculations. The efficiency of the nondiagonal supercell method allows us to access $\mathbf{q}$-point grids of up to $6\times6\times6$. In addition, we discover that for the small displacements that atoms are subject to in the lattice dynamics calculation, fixing the self-energy to that of the equilibrium configuration is in many cases an excellent approximation that further reduces the cost of the DFT+DMFT calculations. This fixed self-energy approximation is expected to hold for materials that are not close to a phase transition. Overall, our work provides an efficient and general method for the calculation of phonons using DFT+DMFT, opening many possibilities for the study of lattice dynamics and associated phenomena in correlated materials.
