Cicero on artes liberales. Merits and Problems
Creators: name: Görler, Woldemar
Publisher: name: Ciceroniana on line
Year: 2020

description: The expression artes liberales, found first in Cicero, has had a lasting and multiform impact through Seneca and Martanius Capella to our days. In its essence, the expression calls for a complete education (over and above strictly technical training) – a project which still has a bearing today with reference to Cice- ro. This is a credit to Cicero, but the project itself is not without issues. Liberalis does not mean “free”, as it is often translated today, but “worthy of a free man”, making it distinct from “dirty” money-making occupations. Such a limitation imposed upon an elite upper class is alien to us. In other instances, Cicero describes the same arts without reservation as “human” (humanae). They are the object of study for their own sake, insofar as they have an intrinsic value, and not to gain an advantage or benefit (such as to earn money). In this respect, the at- tributes liberalis and humanus are often interchangeable. Cicero includes in the artes liberales geometry, music, literature (and poetry), natural sciences, ethics, and politics. This programme is still valid today, though it presents some gaps such as the visual arts and foreign languages. The programme ought to, therefore, be completed and modified. Cicero regularly highlights that all the artes liberales share a common bond. This picture allows for different interpretations. It comes close to the allegory of a circle of noble arts, which is not mentioned in Cicero. However, even if there exist variations and modifications in form, image and con- tent of the artes liberales, Cicero’s reflections on the ideal education remain their original source and essence; they should therefore also be taken into account in current debates on education.

myWeekInSight : visualizing personal data for chronic pain management through youth-centered design
Creators: name: Desai, Unma Mayur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Chronic pain is a common and costly condition in youth. 20-30% report recurrent pain that is not disabling, but still interferes with academic, social, and recreational functioning, and has significant effects on mental health (e.g. higher rates of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms). Existing digital applications to help patients self-manage chronic pain often report low engagement and typically focus narrowly on either symptom tracking (emphasis on user providing data), or intervention delivery (translating an in-person intervention into a digital format). We hypothesize that if youth with chronic pain could actively explore data from their lived experiences, they could better relate their symptoms to other areas of their lives and improve their general functioning. Our approach novelly uses interactive visualization of self-reported data as an intervention. We contribute design principles for engaging youth-centered visualizations of personal health data, and discuss metrics that can be used to measure their efficacy. Both were derived through the development of myWeekInSight, a visualization-based web application for teens to interactively explore personal health data, using data collected via thrice-daily surveys (Ecological Momentary Assessments) to capture in-the-moment a youth’s everyday circumstances, symptoms and experiences. We developed these visualizations iteratively with guidance from pediatric chronic pain clinicians, a patient partner, and experts in information visualization and human-computer interaction. We evaluated them in two phases, both with members of the target population: (1) design evaluation (N=10): assessment of comprehensibility, usability, and engagement through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, followed by a qualitative analysis using affinity diagramming; and (2) utility evaluation (N=50): through a 2-week clinical deployment of a fully-functioning prototype developed in collaboration with a health tech firm, followed by semi-structured interviews and questionnaires with a subset of the participants (N=10) analyzed using affinity diagramming. Youth found the visualizations to be reflective of their experiences, interesting and useful, and were able to extract actionable insights; they also confirmed their interest in using the application in their daily lives, and described possible usage scenarios. We close by discussing our learnings from the evaluation studies, and implications for next steps.
Difference Is Not Indifference: Cicero and Modern Japan

description: As Warsaw celebrated the 30th anniversary of its liberation from the totalitarian regime by reinvoking the Ciceronian tradition of republican ideal government, Japan found itself in a celebratory mood for the succession of imperial dynasty. Emperor Hirohito (d.1989)’s son was to be replaced by his grandson and thus Japan’s modern invention of an old tradition was to be consolidated. If European modernity has its origins in Renaissance and Reformation (i.e., critical renovation of the past both Classical and Christian) against the backdrop of the benighted Middle Ages, Japan’s modernity, ultimately a result of the emergency measure it took against the great wave of colonization by the west, cannot but be a composite of disparate ingredients. Whereas quick Westernization was prerequisite, equally indispensable was the spiritual consolidation of national identity. And herein comes the idea of renovating the ancient emperorship in a modern mold of absolute monarchy by singling out Shintoism for a kind of national religion: under such circumstances, the doom of Cicero’s reception needs no explanation. But this does not entirely exclude the possibility that an intellectual perspective characteristic of Japanese modernity can contribute to a better understanding of Cicero: where Cicero has been alienated, as indeed he still is, in the main stream of philosophy, the so-called European tradition of metaphysics, Japanese modernity with its inveterate polytheistic background of non-metaphysics has a chance to intervene for hermeneutic negotiations.

description: Taha and Nielsen have developed a multi-stage calculus λα with a sound type system using the notion of environment classifiers. They are special identifiers, with which code fragments and variable declarations are annotated, and their scoping mechanism is used to ensure statically that certain code fragments are closed and safely runnable. In this paper, we investigate the Curry-Howard isomorphism for environment classifiers by developing a typed λ-calculus λ|>. It corresponds to multi-modal logic that allows quantification by transition variables---a counterpart of classifiers---which range over (possibly empty) sequences of labeled transitions between possible worlds. This interpretation will reduce the "run" construct---which has a special typing rule in λα---and embedding of closed code into other code fragments of different stages---which would be only realized by the cross-stage persistence operator in λα---to merely a special case of classifier application. λ|> enjoys not only basic properties including subject reduction, confluence, and strong normalization but also an important property as a multi-stage calculus: time-ordered normalization of full reduction. Then, we develop a big-step evaluation semantics for an ML-like language based on λ|> with its type system and prove that the evaluation of a well-typed λ|> program is properly staged. We also identify a fragment of the language, where erasure evaluation is possible. Finally, we show that the proof system augmented with a classical axiom is sound and complete with respect to a Kripke semantics of the logic.

description: In this paper, we study transport properties of non-equilibrium systems under the application of light in many-terminal measurements, using the Floquet picture. We propose and demonstrate that the quantum transport properties can be controlled in materials such as graphene and topological insulators, via the application of light. Remarkably, under the application of off-resonant light, topological transport properties can be induced; these systems exhibits quantum Hall effects in the absence of a magnetic field with a near quantization of the Hall conductance, realizing so-called quantum Hall systems without Landau levels first proposed by Haldane.

description: We investigate charge qubit measurements using a single electron transistor, with focus on the backaction-induced renormalization of qubit parameters. It is revealed the renormalized dynamics leads to a number of intriguing features in the detector's noise spectra, and therefore needs to be accounted for to properly understand the measurement result. Noticeably, the level renormalization gives rise to a strongly enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, which can even exceed the universal upper bound imposed quantum mechanically on linear-response detectors.

description: The recently discovered three dimensional or bulk topological insulators are expected to exhibit exotic quantum phenomena. It is believed that a trivial insulator can be twisted into a topological state by modulating the spin-orbit interaction or the crystal lattice via odd number of band inversions, driving the system through a topological quantum phase transition. By directly measuring the topological invariants (for the method to directly measure Fu-Kane {$ν_0$}, see Hsieh \textit{et.al.,} Science 323, 919 (2009) at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/323/5916/919.abstract) we report the observation of a phase transition in a tunable spin-orbit system BiTl(S{1-d}Se{d})2 (which is an analog of the most studied topological insulator Bi2Se3, see Xia \textit{et.al.,} Nature Phys. 5, 398 (2009) at http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v5/n6/full/nphys1294.html and Spin-Momentum locking at http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7259/full/nature08234.html) where the topological insulator state formation is visualized for the first time. In the topological state, vortex-like polarization states are observed to exhibit 3D vectorial textures, which collectively feature a chirality transition of its topological spin-textures as the spin-momentum locked (Z2 topologically ordered) electrons on the surface go through the zero carrier density point. Such phase transition and texture chirality inversion can be the physical basis for observing \textit{fractional charge} (e/2) and other related fractional topological phenomena.

description: Real-time detection of single electron tunneling through a T-shaped double quantum dot is simulated, based on a Monte Carlo scheme. The double dot is embedded in a dissipative environment and the presence of electrons on the double dot is detected with a nearby quantum point contact. We demonstrate directly the bunching behavior in electron transport, which leads eventually to a super-Poissonian noise. Particularly, in the context of full counting statistics, we investigate the essential difference between the dephasing mechanisms induced by the quantum point contact detection and the coupling to the external phonon bath. A number of intriguing noise features associated with various transport mechanisms are revealed.

description: The Lempert function for a set of poles in a domain of $\mathbb C^n$ at a point $z$ is obtained by taking a certain infimum over all analytic disks going through the poles and the point $z$, and majorizes the corresponding multi-pole pluricomplex Green function. Coman proved that both coincide in the case of sets of two poles in the unit ball. We give an example of a set of three poles in the unit ball where this equality fails.

description: Functional conjugation methods are used to analyze the global structure of various renormalization group trajectories, and to gain insight into the interplay between continuous and discrete rescaling. With minimal assumptions, the methods produce continuous flows from step-scaling σ functions, and lead to exact functional relations for the local flow β functions, whose solutions may have novel, exotic features, including multiple branches. As a result, fixed points of σ are sometimes not true fixed points under continuous changes in scale, and zeroes of β do not necessarily signal fixed points of the flow, but instead may only indicate turning points of the trajectories.

«The Great Patrician of the Speaking Art»: Cicero, from the Republic of Letters to the English Republic
Creators: name: Clare, Janet
Publisher: name: Ciceroniana on line
Year: 2020

description: This article explores the reception of Cicero in early modern England, specifically his centrality to the humanist education programme and as an exponent of civilizing rhetoric. It is contended that throughout the sixteenth century humanists were highly selective in their appreciation of Cicero to the extent that the political contexts and arguments of his oratory were largely ignored. The Cicero celebrated for De officiis (one of the most popular texts in England) was rarely joined to the Cicero of the Philippics, countenancing tyrannicide, even though these texts were composed within months of each other. The surge of interest in classical republicanism in the period of civil wars and the establishment of the English Republic in 1649 marked a decisive change in the representation of Cicero. The transition is exemplified in the play The Tragedy of that Famous Roman Orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (1651). Here, as a supporter of regicide and exponent of the freedom from a tyrannical state, Cicero’s political voice powerfully resonates across time and place.

description: Product images (e.g., a phone) can be used to elicit a diverse set of consumer-reported features expressed through language, including surface-level perceptual attributes (e.g., "white") and more complex ones, like perceived utility (e.g., "battery"). The cognitive complexity of elicited language reveals the nature of cognitive processes and the context required to understand them; cognitive complexity also predicts consumers' subsequent choices. This work offers an approach for measuring and validating the cognitive complexity of human language elicited by product images, providing a tool for understanding the cognitive processes of human as well as virtual respondents simulated by Large Language Models (LLMs). We also introduce a large dataset that includes diverse descriptive labels for product images, including human-rated complexity. We demonstrate that human-rated cognitive complexity can be approximated using a set of natural language models that, combined, roughly capture the complexity construct. Moreover, this approach is minimally supervised and scalable, even in use cases with limited human assessment of complexity.

description: A quantum critical point (QCP), separating the non-Fermi liquid region from the Fermi liquid, exists in the phase diagram of the 2D Hubbard model [Vidhyadhiraja et. al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 206407 (2009)]. Due to the vanishing of the critical temperature associated with a phase separation transition, the QCP is characterized by a vanishing quasiparticle weight. Near the QCP, the pairing is enhanced since the real part of the bare d-wave p-p susceptibility exhibits algebraic divergence with decreasing temperature, replacing the logarithmic divergence found in a Fermi liquid [Yang et. al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 047004 (2011)]. In this paper we explore the single-particle and transport properties near the QCP. We focus mainly on a van Hove singularity (vHS) coming from the relatively flat dispersion that crosses the Fermi level near the quantum critical filling. The flat part of the dispersion orthogonal to the antinodal direction remains pinned near the Fermi level for a range of doping that increases when we include a negative next-near-neighbor hopping t' in the model. For comparison, we calculate the bare d-wave pairing susceptibility for non-interacting models with the usual two-dimensional tight binding dispersion and a hypothetical quartic dispersion. We find that neither model yields a vHS that completely describes the critical algebraic behavior of the bare d-wave pairing susceptibility. The resistivity, thermal conductivity, thermopower, and the Wiedemann-Franz Law are examined in the Fermi liquid, marginal Fermi liquid, and pseudo-gap doping regions. A negative next-near-neighbor hopping t' increases the doping region with marginal Fermi liquid character. Both T and negative t' are relevant variables for the QCP, and both the transport and the motion of the vHS with filling suggest that they are qualitatively similar in their effect.

description: Two new polyoxometalate-based coordination polymers have been synthesized at different pHs under identical hydrothermal conditions, (Hbib)[Cu2(bib)2(PMo12O40)] (1) and (Hbib)2[Cu(bib) (PMo12O40)]·2H2O (2) (bib = 4-bis(imidazol-1-yl) benzene). Their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and characterized by routine methods. When the pH was adjusted to 2.0 − 2.5, 1 was obtained, which exhibits a 1-D rail-like chain. Compound 2 was obtained at pH of 2.5 − 3.2 and exhibits a 2-D layer with (44) sql net. The pH of the reaction plays a key role in the assembly of the polyoxometalate-based coordination polymer. The electrochemical experiments indicate that 2-based carbon paste electrode possesses high catalytic efficiency and high stability towards reduction of iodate and oxidation of ascorbic acid.

description: A minimal model for magnetic reconnection and, generally, low-frequency dynamics in low-beta plasmas is proposed. The model combines analytical and computational simplicity with physical realizability: it is a rigorous limit of gyrokinetics for plasma beta of order the electron-ion mass ratio. The model contains collisions and can be used both in the collisional and collisionless reconnection regimes. It includes gyrokinetic ions (not assumed cold) and allows for the topological rearrangement of the magnetic field lines by either resistivity or electron inertia, whichever predominates. The two-fluid dynamics are coupled to electron kinetics --- electrons are not assumed isothermal and are described by a reduced drift-kinetic equation. The model therefore allows for irreversibility and conversion of magnetic energy into electron heat via parallel phase mixing in velocity space. An analysis of the exchanges between various forms of free energy and its conversion into electron heat is provided. It is shown how all relevant linear waves and regimes of the tearing instability (collisionless, semicollisional and fully resistive) are recovered in various limits of our model. An efficient way to simulate our equations numerically is proposed, via the Hermite representation of the velocity space. It is shown that small scales in velocity space will form, giving rise to a shallow Hermite-space spectrum, whence it is inferred that, for steady-state or sufficiently slow dynamics, the electron heating rate will remain finite in the limit of vanishing collisionality.

description: We measured the transition frequencies of the hyperfine components in the four lines (P(34) 39-0, R(36) 39-0, P(33) 39-0, and R(35) 39-0) of the B-X transitions of molecular iodine at 520.2 nm. The 520.2 nm laser was generated by wavelength-converting the output of a 1560.6 nm external-cavity diode laser using a dual-pitch periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide. The frequencies were measured by counting the heterodyne beats between the laser stabilized at the frequencies of the hyperfine components and a frequency comb synchronized with a hydrogen maser. We determined the transition frequencies of the a1 components with relative uncertainties of 1*10-11; the uncertainty was limited by the impurity of the molecular iodine in the cell. From the measured hyperfine splitting frequencies, we calculated the hyperfine constants of these four transitions to obtain the rotational dependence of the excited-state hyperfine constants.

description: In this paper we have considered a red-shift based linear correction in derivative of action in the context of vacuum $f(R)$ gravity. Here we have found out that the linear correction may describe the late time acceleration which is appeared by SNeIa with no need of dark energy. Also we have calculated the asymptotic action for the desired correction. The value of all solutions may reduce to de' Sitter universe in the absence of correction term.

description: Rhodiola rosea L. radix (RRL) is one of the most popular medical herb which has been widely used for the treatment of different diseases effectively, including cardiovascular diseases and nerve system diseases. However, due to the multiple compounds in RRL, the underlying molecular mechanisms of RRL are remained unclear. To decipher the action mechanisms of RRL from a systematic perspective, a systems pharmacology approach integrated absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) system, drug targeting, and network analysis was introduced. First, by the ADME screening system and the target fishing process, 56 potential active compounds and 62 targets were obtained, respectively. In addition, compound-target network demonstrated that most compounds interacted with multiple targets, indicating that RRL may enhance its therapeutic effects probably through hitting on multiple targets in a holistic level. Moreover, target-pathway network and gene ontology analysis showed that multiple targets of RRL were involved in several biological pathways, i.e. Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, calcium signaling pathway, adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes, and VEGF signaling pathway, which dissecting the therapeutic effects of RRL on various diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, depression, adaptation diseases, etc. In summary, this work successfully explains the potential active compounds and the multi-scale curative action mechanisms of RRL for treating various diseases; meanwhile, it implies that RRL could be applied as a novel therapeutic agent in arthritic diseases. Most importantly, this work provides an in silico strategy to understand the action mechanisms of herbal medicines from molecular/system levels, which will promote the new drug development of traditional Chinese medicine.

Dark Energy and QCD Ghost

description: It has been suggested that the dark energy that explains the observed accelerating expansion of the universe may arise due to the contribution to the vacuum energy of the QCD ghost in a time-dependent background. The argument uses a four-dimensional simplified model. In this paper, we put the discussion in more realistic model keeping all components of the QCD vector ghost and show that indeed QCD ghost produces dark energy proportional to the Hubble parameter $HΛ_{QCD}^3$ ($Λ_{QCD}$ is the QCD mass scale) which has the right magnitude $\sim (3\times 10^{-3}$ eV)$^4$.

Cicero’s artes liberales and the Liberal Arts
Creators: name: Tempest, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Ciceroniana on line
Year: 2020

description: This article examines Cicero’s concept of the artes liberales within his larger vision for education. Starting with the codification of a curriculum in the work of Martianus Capella, it explores the reception of Cicero’s works in the early development of the canon before turning back to the contexts of Cicero’s original thinking on the subjects. In particular, it illustrates how Cicero sought to broaden the curriculum and make the artes relevant for life in first-century BC Rome, combining traditional Greek learning with innovative topics on modern history and political science. In so doing I suggest some of the ways in which Cicero’s arguments on the value of a broad education still echo in our ideas of the Liberal Arts today before ending with some reflections on the political context in which they were produced.

description: In this work, we have investigated the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics in logamediate and intermediate scenarios of the universe bounded by the Hubble, apparent, particle and event horizons using and without using first law of thermodynamics. We have observed that the GSL is valid for Hubble, apparent, particle and event horizons of the universe in the logamediate scenario of the universe using first law and without using first law. Similarly the GSL is valid for all horizons in the intermediate scenario of the universe using first law. Also in the intermediate scenario of the universe, the GSL is valid for Hubble, apparent and particle horizons but it breaks down whenever we consider the universe enveloped by the event horizon.

Evaluating the effects of GlycoCaged dexamethasone in SHIP-deficient mice
Creators: name: Luzentales-Simpson, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn’s Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis, is characterized by gastrointestinal inflammation. Inflammation can be chronic, relapsing and remitting, or progressive, and accompanied by symptoms of pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Treatment in children or people with mild-to-moderate IBD follows a step-up approach to therapy, beginning with NSAIDs before moving to steroids, immunomodulators, and finally biologics. Though corticosteroids reduce inflammation, their use is limited by adverse dose-dependent systemic effects which include, but are not limited to immunosuppression, mood changes, and, in children, negative effects on growth and development. We present the use of a drug delivery system, termed “GlycoCage” in a SHIP-deficient (SHIP-/-) mouse model of CD-like ileitis, conjugated to the corticosteroid, dexamethasone (DEX). The GlycoCage renders active corticosteroids inactive until they are released from the GlycoCage. “De-caging” relies on commensal bacteria which produce enzymes, called xyloglucanases, to digest the GlycoCage and release active corticosteroid near the site of disease. I found that xyloglucanase activity along the gastrointestinal tract of SHIP-/- mice is inducible with 2% xyloglucan supplementation in the diet essentially priming the microbiome to release GlycoCaged therapies. I also found that the CD-like ileitis in SHIP-/- mice can be treated with GlycoCaged DEX at a minimum effective dose 10-fold lower than free DEX. Specifically, I observed doses of GlycoCaged DEX 10-fold lower than that of free DEX resulted in a reduction of gross ileal pathology, histopathology, and inflammatory cytokine production in the distal ileum of SHIP-/- mice. Additionally, I observed off-target effects on the lungs and mesenteric lymph nodes when mice were treated with free DEX. These off-target effects were eliminated when mice were treated with GlycoCaged DEX. Together my data suggests GlycoCaged DEX is more efficacious and has reduced off-target effects when compared to free DEX, supporting its potential to improve current corticosteroid treatments for IBD. This work provides the foundation for analyzing the GlycoCage in murine models of intestinal inflammation and supports further research to explore its applications for human use.

description: We investigate the critical behaviour of the three-dimensional, three state Potts model in presence of a negative external field h, i.e. disfavouring one of the three states. A genuine phase transition is present for all values of |h|, corresponding to the spontaneous breaking of a residual Z_2 symmetry. The transition is first/second order respectively for small/large values of |h|, with a tricritical field h_tric separating the two regimes. We provide, using different and consistent approaches, a precise determination of h_tric; we also compare with previous studies and discuss the relevance of our investigation to analogous studies of the QCD phase diagram in presence of an imaginary chemical potential.

description: We present a detailed study of the anomalous top quark production with subsequent decay at the LHC induced by model-independent flavor-changing neutral-current couplings, incorporating the complete next-to-leading order QCD effects. Our results show that, taking into account the current limits from the Tevatron, the LHC with $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV may discover the anomalous coupling at 5$σ$ level for a very low integrated luminosity of 61 pb$^{-1}$. The discovery potentials for the anomalous couplings at the LHC are examined in detail. We also discuss the possibility of using the charge ratio to distinguish the $tug$ and $tcg$ couplings.
