description: Charged Lepton Flavour Violating (cLFV) decays constrain the relationship between the neutrino and the scalar sectors of the Grimus-Neufeld model (GNM), an appealing minimal model of neutrino masses. It turns out, that in the scenario, where the seesaw scale is lower than the electroweak one, cLFV is completely defined by the new Yukawa interactions between the additional single heavy Majorana neutrino, the second Higgs doublet and the lepton doublets. Therefore, we derive a useful parameterization for the Yukawa couplings which reproduces by construction the correct PMNS matrix and the correct neutrino masses for both Normal and Inverted ordering at one-loop level. We embed this scenario in the $\texttt{FlexibleSUSY}$ spectrum-generator generator to perform parameter scans. Focusing on the tiny seesaw scale, we show that current $μ\to eγ$ limits provide significant constraints on the scalar sector, and we evaluate the impact of future cLFV $τ$-decay searches for the cases of discovery or non-discovery. The tiny seesaw scale makes the neutrino sector and the cLFV processes in the GNM similar to the scotogenic and the scoto-seesaw models, so we provide constraints for these models as well.

description: We derive a framework to apply topological quantum chemistry in systems subject to magnetic flux. We start by deriving the action of spatial symmetry operators in a uniform magnetic field, which extends Zak's magnetic translation groups to all crystal symmetry groups. Ultimately, the magnetic symmetries form a projective representation of the crystal symmetry group. As a consequence, band representations acquire an extra gauge invariant phase compared to the non-magnetic theory. Thus, the theory of symmetry indicators is distinct from the non-magnetic case. We give examples of new symmetry indicators that appear at $π$ flux. Finally, we apply our results to an obstructed atomic insulator with corner states in a magnetic field. The symmetry indicators reveal a topological-to-trivial phase transition at finite flux, which is confirmed by a Hofstadter butterfly calculation. The bulk phase transition provides a new probe of higher order topology in certain obstructed atomic insulators.

description: Safety climate is often implicated as a key factor in the promotion of injuryreducing
behavior and safe work environments. However, less attention has been paid to
the outcomes of safety climate beyond traditional safety outcomes. This study aims to make the following contributions: examining how safety climate perceptions at both group and organization levels might predict outcomes other than accidents; using social exchange theory as the framework for the relationships between safety climate, job satisfaction and performance outcomes; and being among the first to assess how safety climate may impact job performance outcomes for lone workers (i.e., truck drivers). This study is among the first to assess the impact of safety climate beyond safety outcomes.

description: This study analyses the role of control and trust as important determinants of
organizational culture in the transition process of a company to flexible work
arrangements. A comprehensive case study in a medium-sized organization comprising qualitative interviews and online surveys prior and after the implementation of flexible work arrangements highlights the crucial role of trust between management and employees in the transition phase. Furthermore, it sheds light on adversarial effects of increased behavior control implemented through electronic performance monitoring and emphasizes the importance of normative control.

description: Multinomial probit (mnp) models are fundamental and widely-applied regression models for categorical data. Fasano and Durante (2022) proved that the class of unified skew-normal distributions is conjugate to several mnp sampling models. This allows to develop Monte Carlo samplers and accurate variational methods to perform Bayesian inference. In this paper, we adapt the abovementioned results for a popular special case: the discrete-choice mnp model under zero mean and independent Gaussian priors. This allows to obtain simplified expressions for the parameters of the posterior distribution and an alternative derivation for the variational algorithm that gives a novel understanding of the fundamental results in Fasano and Durante (2022) as well as computational advantages in our special settings.

description: Despite the superior performance of CNN, deploying them on low computational power devices is still limited as they are typically computationally expensive. One key cause of the high complexity is the connection between the convolution layers and the fully connected layers, which typically requires a high number of parameters. To alleviate this issue, Bag of Features (BoF) pooling has been recently proposed. BoF learns a dictionary, that is used to compile a histogram representation of the input. In this paper, we propose an approach that builds on top of BoF pooling to boost its efficiency by ensuring that the items of the learned dictionary are non-redundant. We propose an additional loss term, based on the pair-wise correlation of the items of the dictionary, which complements the standard loss to explicitly regularize the model to learn a more diverse and rich dictionary. The proposed strategy yields an efficient variant of BoF and further boosts its performance, without any additional parameters.

description: Interacting dark matter-dark energy (IDMDE) models can be taken to account as one of the present challenges that may affect the cosmic structures. In this work, we study the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in IDMDE models. To this end, we initially introduce a theoretical framework for IDMDE models. Moreover, we briefly discuss the stability conditions of IDMDE models and by specifying a simple functional form for the energy density transfer rate, we calculate the perturbation equations. In the following, we calculate the amplitude of the matter power spectrum for the IDMDE model and compare it with the corresponding result obtained from the $Λ$CDM model. Furthermore, we calculate the amplitude of the ISW auto-power spectrum as a function of multipole order l for the IDMDE model. The results indicate that the amplitude of the ISW auto-power spectrum in the IDMDE model for different phantom dark energy equations of state behaves similar to the one for the $Λ$CDM model, whereas, for the quintessence dark energy equations of state, the amplitude of the ISW-auto power spectrum for the IDMDE model should be higher than the one for the $Λ$CDM model. Also, it turns out that the corresponding results by different values of the coupling parameter demonstrate that $ξ$ is inversely proportional to the amplitude of the ISW-auto power spectrum in the IDMDE model. Finally, by employing four different surveys, we calculate the amplitude of the ISW-cross power spectrum as a function of multipole order $l$ for the IDMDE model. The results exhibit that the amplitude of the ISW-cross power spectrum for the IDMDE model for all values of $ω_{\rm x}$ is higher than the one obtained for the $Λ$CDM model. Also, it turns out that the amplitude of the ISW-cross power spectrum in the IDMDE model changes inversely with the value of coupling parameter $ξ$.

description: Black Holes are unique objects which allow for meaningful theoretical studies of strong gravity and even quantum gravity effects. An infalling and a distant observer would have very different views on the structure of the world. However, a careful analysis has shown that it entails no genuine contradictions for physics, and the paradigm of observer complementarity has been coined. Recently this picture was put into doubt. In particular, it was argued that in old Black Holes a firewall must form in order to protect the basic principles of quantum mechanics. This AMPS paradox has already been discussed in a vast number of papers with different attitudes and conclusions. Here we want to argue that a possible source of confusion is neglection of quantum gravity effects. Contrary to widespread perception, it does not necessarily mean that effective field theory is inapplicable in rather smooth neighbourhoods of large Black Hole horizons. The real offender might be an attempt to consistently use it over the huge distances from the near-horizon zone of old Black Holes to the early radiation. We give simple estimates to support this viewpoint and show how the Page time and (somewhat more speculative) scrambling time do appear.

description: When applying an oscillatory electric potential to an electrolyte solution, it is commonly assumed that the choice of which electrode is grounded or powered does not matter because the time-average of the electric potential is zero. Recent theoretical, numerical, and experimental work, however, has established that certain types of multimodal oscillatory potentials that are "non-antiperodic" can induce a net steady field toward either the grounded or powered electrode [Hashemi et al., Phys. Rev. E 105, 065001 (2022)]. Here, we elaborate on the nature of these steady fields through numerical and theoretical analyses of the asymmetric rectified electric field (AREF) that occurs in electrolytes where the cations and anions have different mobilities. We demonstrate that AREFs induced by a non-antiperiodic electric potential, e.g., by a two-mode waveform with modes at 2 and 3 Hz, invariably yields a steady field that is spatially dissymmetric between two parallel electrodes, such that swapping which electrode is powered changes the direction of the field. Additionally, using a perturbation expansion, we demonstrate that the dissymmetric AREF occurs due to odd nonlinear orders of the applied potential. We further generalize the theory by demonstrating that the dissymmetric field occurs for all classes of zero-time-average (no dc bias) periodic potentials, including triangular and rectangular pulses, and we discuss how these steady fields can tremendously change the interpretation, design, and applications of electrochemical and electrokinetic systems.

description: Background: Although there have been studies of the genetic risk factors in the development of stroke, there have been few investigations of role of genes in the cerebral response to ischemia. The brain responds to ischemia in a series of reactions that ultimately influence the volume of a stroke that, in general, correlates with disability. We hypothesize that polymorphisms in genes encoding proteins involved in these reactions could act as modifiers of this response and impact stroke volume. One of the pathways participating in the cerebral ischemic response involves reactive oxygen species which can cause oxidative damage to nucleic acids. DNA repair mechanisms are in place to protect against such damage and imply a role for DNA repair genes in the response of the brain to ischemia and are potential candidate genes for further investigation. Methods: We studied two common polymorphisms in the DNA repair gene, XRCC1, C26304T and G28152A, in 134 well characterized patients with non lacunar ischemic strokes. We also performed a case control association study with 113 control patients to assess whether these variants represent risk factors in the development of ischemic stroke. Results: Independent of etiology, the "T" allele of the C26304T polymorphism is significantly associated with larger stroke volumes (T-test analysis, p < 0.044; multivariate regression analysis, β = 0.23, p < 0.008). In the case control association study, we found that neither of these polymorphisms represented a risk factor for the development of stroke. Conclusion: Our study suggests a major gene effect of the "T" allele of the C26304T polymorphism modulating the cerebral response to ischemia in non lacunar ischemic stroke.

description: Sparse coding represents a signal sparsely by using an overcomplete dictionary, and obtains promising performance in practical computer vision applications, especially for signal restoration tasks such as image denoising and image inpainting. In recent years, many discriminative sparse coding algorithms have been developed for classification problems, but they cannot naturally handle visual data represented by multiview features. In addition, existing sparse coding algorithms use graph Laplacian to model the local geometry of the data distribution. It has been identified that Laplacian regularization biases the solution towards a constant function which possibly leads to poor extrapolating power. In this paper, we present multiview Hessian discriminative sparse coding (mHDSC) which seamlessly integrates Hessian regularization with discriminative sparse coding for multiview learning problems. In particular, mHDSC exploits Hessian regularization to steer the solution which varies smoothly along geodesics in the manifold, and treats the label information as an additional view of feature for incorporating the discriminative power for image annotation. We conduct extensive experiments on PASCAL VOC'07 dataset and demonstrate the effectiveness of mHDSC for image annotation.

description: Tensor Cores have been an important unit to accelerate Fused Matrix Multiplication Accumulation (MMA) in all NVIDIA GPUs since Volta Architecture. To program Tensor Cores, users have to use either legacy wmma APIs or current mma APIs. Legacy wmma APIs are more easy-to-use but can only exploit limited features and power of Tensor Cores. Specifically, wmma APIs support fewer operand shapes and can not leverage the new sparse matrix multiplication feature of the newest Ampere Tensor Cores. However, the performance of current programming interface has not been well explored. Furthermore, the computation numeric behaviors of low-precision floating points (TF32, BF16, and FP16) supported by the newest Ampere Tensor Cores are also mysterious. In this paper, we explore the throughput and latency of current programming APIs. We also intuitively study the numeric behaviors of Tensor Cores MMA and profile the intermediate operations including multiplication, addition of inner product, and accumulation. All codes used in this work can be found in https://github.com/sunlex0717/DissectingTensorCores.

description: Ergonomics research needs to design organizational level, occupational health interventions that contribute to improving organizational performance so as to become of practical relevance for management. This paper analyses a study evaluating the impact of such interventions on user satisfaction and service quality. The study conducted an employee survey with 754 preschool teachers in 98 Danish preschools and a user survey among 8116 parents. Significant correlations were found between well-being and service quality measures from both employees and users indicating a link between traditional ergonomic outcomes and organizational performance. Consequently, ergonomics research may benefit from including measures of organizational performance.

description: The objective of the paper is to analyze how a product introduction involving Swedish-Chinese collaboration was influenced by human, technological and organizational aspects. The study showed that technical challenges concerned the infrastructure for communication and quality issues; organizational challenges concerned the new project model and updating drawing versions; and human related challenges included cultural differences and communication. The product introduction was highly challenging by crossing earlier boundaries in the human, technical, and organizational subsystems. Strong work demands were placed on the individuals while offering great opportunities for individual learning. Concurrent development of a new project model resulted in organizational learning.

description: Organisations can use artificial intelligence to make decisions about people for a variety of reasons, for instance, to select the best candidates from many job applications. However, AI systems can have discriminatory effects when used for decision-making. To illustrate, an AI system could reject applications of people with a certain ethnicity, while the organisation did not plan such ethnicity discrimination. But in Europe, an organisation runs into a problem when it wants to assess whether its AI system accidentally discriminates based on ethnicity: the organisation may not know the applicants' ethnicity. In principle, the GDPR bans the use of certain 'special categories of data' (sometimes called 'sensitive data'), which include data on ethnicity, religion, and sexual preference. The proposal for an AI Act of the European Commission includes a provision that would enable organisations to use special categories of data for auditing their AI systems. This paper asks whether the GDPR's rules on special categories of personal data hinder the prevention of AI-driven discrimination. We argue that the GDPR does prohibit such use of special category data in many circumstances. We also map out the arguments for and against creating an exception to the GDPR's ban on using special categories of personal data, to enable preventing discrimination by AI systems. The paper discusses European law, but the paper can be relevant outside Europe too, as many policymakers in the world grapple with the tension between privacy and non-discrimination policy.

Erskine Nicol and the representation of national and religious identities in nineteenth-century Ireland

Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 43
subject: History, heritage and archaeology

description: This article investigates the visual representation of Irish Catholicism in mid-nineteenth century genre painting through a close analysis of St Patrick’s Day (1856), a picturesque genre painting by the Scottish artist Erskine Nicol. In doing so, it will explore why artists like Nicol, Frederic William Burton and others chose to equate Irish rural Catholicism with romantic ideas of nature and outdoor ‘primitive’ worship. This tradition of representation will be examined in the context of contemporary Catholic institutional expansion across Ireland following the removal of the legal disabilities known as the ‘penal laws’ in 1829, and the parallel emphasis on the church building as the location of worship, the sacraments, and Catholic devotional life. To date, scholars of Nicol’s oeuvre have tended to focus on Nicol’s representation of an Irish national ‘type’ or ‘character’. My reading of Nicol’s St Patrick’s Day, however, aims to extend the art historical investigation of the signification of the Irish stereotype in Victorian painting, and to examine Nicol’s painting within the interwoven frameworks of national identity and religious identity. This analysis of St Patrick’s Day is rooted in a consideration of both genre and historical context, facilitating new insights into ideas of ‘peasant’ or ‘primitive’ Catholicism as central to mid-Victorian representations of the Irish ‘national character’.

description: Background: The emerging field of integrative bioinformatics provides the tools to organize and systematically analyze vast amounts of highly diverse biological data and thus allows to gain a novel understanding of complex biological systems. The data warehouse DWARF applies integrative bioinformatics approaches to the analysis of large protein families. Description: The data warehouse system DWARF integrates data on sequence, structure, and functional annotation for protein fold families. The underlying relational data model consists of three major sections representing entities related to the protein (biochemical function, source organism, classification to homologous families and superfamilies), the protein sequence (position-specific annotation, mutant information), and the protein structure (secondary structure information, superimposed tertiary structure). Tools for extracting, transforming and loading data from public available resources (ExPDB, GenBank, DSSP) are provided to populate the database. The data can be accessed by an interface for searching and browsing, and by analysis tools that operate on annotation, sequence, or structure. We applied DWARF to the family of α/β-hydrolases to host the Lipase Engineering database. Release 2.3 contains 6138 sequences and 167 experimentally determined protein structures, which are assigned to 37 superfamilies 103 homologous families. Conclusion: DWARF has been designed for constructing databases of large structurally related protein families and for evaluating their sequence-structure-function relationships by a systematic analysis of sequence, structure and functional annotation. It has been applied to predict biochemical properties from sequence, and serves as a valuable tool for protein engineering.

description: This paper explores the importance of common activity in SMEs for economic development and health through a case description of a company that was followed for thirteen years. After a number of years of stagnation and economic decline, a company development program changed the employees from being “loyal doers” to becoming coworkers who were able to take responsibility. The importance of learning through common activities to improve the individual co-worker’s skills to cooperate and to increase selfimposed actions improved the economic results of the company. This was the consequence of the well-being of the employees and of satisfied, faithful customers who increased over time.

description: Background: Metabolic and regulatory gene networks generally tend to be stable. However, we have recently shown that overexpression of the transcriptional activator Hap4p in yeast causes cells to move to a state characterized by increased respiratory activity. To understand why overexpression of HAP4 is able to override the signals that normally result in glucose repression of mitochondrial function, we analyzed in detail the changes that occur in these cells. Results: Whole-genome expression profiling and fingerprinting of the regulatory activity network show that HAP4 overexpression provokes changes that also occur during the diauxic shift. Overexpression of HAP4, however, primarily acts on mitochondrial function and biogenesis. In fact, a number of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins are induced to a greater extent than in cells that have passed through a normal diauxic shift: in addition to genes required for mitochondrial energy conservation they include genes encoding mitochondrial ribosomal proteins. Conclusions: We show that overproduction of a single nuclear transcription factor enables cells to move to a novel state that displays features typical of, but clearly not identical to, other derepressed states.

description: Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) is associated with the phase transition from a metallic ferromagnetic to insulating paramagnetic phase, which can be controlled by an applied magnetic field. The insulating phase occurs due to trapping of the charge carriers by polaronic lattice distortions, which raise the resistivity. Theories based on local physics predict that the magnitude of the resistivity jump at Tc is determined by how much, on average, the amplitude of these distortions increases at the phase transition. Using neutron scattering, we measured the average distortion amplitude in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. Surprisingly, its increase from below to above Tc is just as large as in other manganites, which have a much larger resistivity jump. This result suggests that the strength of CMR is determined not by the size of distortions, but by their cooperative nature specific to each compound. Existing theories need to be extended to include correlations between different unit cells to explain and predict the strength of CMR.

For this, the ClearMind project uses a large (59 $\times$ 59 mm$^2$) monolithic PbWO$_4$ (PWO) scintillating crystal with a bialkali photo-electric layer deposited directly on the crystal. Scintillation and Cherenkov photons result together from the 511 keV gamma-ray interation into the PWO crystal. A micro-channel plate photomultiplier tube (MCP-PMT) encapsulating the PWO crystal amplifies photoelectrons generated at the photocathode, and the corresponding anode signals are collected through the transmission lines read out at both ends and digitized by a SAMPIC module. In this work, we present a realistic Geant4 simulation of the ClearMind prototype detector, including the propagation of the visible photons in the crystal, the modelling of a realistic response of the photocathode and of the PMT, and the propagation of the electrical signals over the transmission lines. The reconstruction of the gamma conversion in the detector volume is performed from the signals registered at both ends of the transmission lines. We compare the reconstruction precision of a statistical algorithm against machine learning algorithms developed using the TMVA package. We expect to reach a spatial resolution down to a few mm$^3$ (FWHM). Finally, we will discuss prospects for the ClearMind detector.

description: This paper reports result from one-year follow up in a research program with the
overall aim to investigate how implementations of lean in health care affect working
conditions, health, and performance of employees at five Swedish hospitals. This paper summarizes the implementation approaches, and their importance at short-term follow up for performance (with regard to active work with improvements), perceived working conditions and stress-related health among the healthcare workers. The implementation strategies and pace varied between the hospitals and between the strategic and operative levels. This short-term follow up showed that physical stress-related symptoms had increased overall but the cognitive stress had increased only in hospitals implementing lean. In hospitals with high implementation pace, there were more improvement work among the employees, but higher quantitative demands and lower job satisfaction.

description: We investigate the modification of the pion self-energy at finite temperature due to its interaction with a low-density, isospin-symmetric nuclear medium embedded in a constant magnetic background. To one loop, for fixed temperature and density, we find that the pion effective mass increases with the magnetic field. For the $π^{-}$, interestingly, this happens solely due to the trivial Landau quantization shift $\sim |eB|$, since the real part of the self-energy is negative in this case. In a scenario in which other charged particle species are present and undergo an analogous trivial shift, the relevant behavior of the effective mass might be determined essentially by the real part of the self-energy. In this case, we find that the pion mass decreases by $\sim 10%$ for a magnetic field $|eB|\sim m_π^2$, which favors pion condensation at high density and low temperatures.

Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration
Metadata

description: Annotation of research data with rich metadata is important to make that data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (Wilkinson et al., 2016), thereby rendering the carried out research more sustainable. Within the Helmholtz Association, the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) coordinates the mission to enrich Helmholtz-based research data with metadata by providing (information about) technical solutions, advise and ensuring uniform scientific standards for the use of metadata. In 2021, HMC conducted its first community survey to align its services with the needs of Helmholtz researchers. A question catalogue with 49 (sub-)questions was designed and disseminated among researchers in all six Helmholtz research fields. The conditional succession of the questions was aligned with predetermined expertise levels ("no prior knowledge", "intermediate prior knowledge", "high level of prior knowledge"). 631 completed survey replies were obtained for analysis. The HMC Community Survey 2021 provides insight into the management of research data as well as the data publication practices of researchers in the Helmholtz Association. The characterization of research-field-dependent communities will enable HMC to further develop targeted, community-directed support for the documentation of research data with metadata.

description: The competition between toroidal and rod-like conformations as possible ground states for DNA condensation is studied as a function of the stiffness, the length of the DNA and the form of the long-range interactions between neighboring molecules, using analytical theory supported by Monte Carlo simulations. Both conformations considered are characterized by a local nematic order with hexagonal packing symmetry of neighboring DNA molecules, but differ in global configuration of the chain and the distribution of its curvature as it wraps around to form a condensate. The long-range interactions driving the DNA condensation are assumed to be of the form pertaining to the attractive depletion potential as well as the attractive counterion induced soft potential. In the stiffness-length plane we find a transition between rod-like to toroid condensate for increasing stiffness at a fixed chain length $L$. Strikingly, the transition line is found to have a $L^{1/3}$ dependence irrespective of the details of the long-range interactions between neighboring molecules. When realistic DNA parameters are used, our description reproduces rather well some of the experimental features observed in DNA condensates.

New roles for the OHS representatives - from employee representation to problem-solving

description: The changing role of occupational health and safety representatives (OHS reps) is studied in Danish enterprises and the results indicate that representation, and especially negotiation on behalf of colleagues, has diminished. The work environment is mainstreamed in many enterprises and it is rarely an area of conflict. The role of the OHS reps has accordingly changed to focus on solving specific problems at the workplace. Both management and colleagues consider the OHS reps as a resource that can be utilized to manage the work environment. The consequences of this development for the employees consist of both advantages and disadvantages.

description: We acquired diffusion tensor and structural MRI images on 103 patients with schizophrenia and 41 age-matched normal controls. The vector data was used to trace tracts from a region of interest in the anterior limb of the internal capsule to the prefrontal cortex. Patients with schizophrenia had tract paths that were significantly shorter in length from the center of internal capsule to prefrontal white matter. These tracts, the anterior thalamic radiations, are important in frontal-striatalthalamic pathways. These results are consistent with findings of smaller size of the anterior limb of the internal capsule in patients with schizophrenia, diffusion tensor anisotropy decreases in frontal white matter in schizophrenia and hypothesized disruption of the frontal-striatal-thalamic pathway system.

description: The models currently used for the analysis of the reflection spectra of black holes usually assume a disk with constant ionization and electron density. However, there is some debate on the impact of these assumptions on the estimate of the properties of the sources, in particular when the fits suggest very steep emissivity profiles in the inner part of the accretion disk. In this work, we re-analyze a selected set of high-quality NuSTAR and Suzaku data of Galactic black holes and we fit the reflection component with three different models: RELXILL_NK, in which the ionization parameter and the electron density are constant, RELXILLION_NK, where the electron density is still constant but the ionization profile is described by a power law, and RELXILLDGRAD_NK, where the electron density profile is described by a power law and the ionization profile is calculated self-consistently from the electron density and the emissivity. While RELXILLION_NK may provide slightly better fits, we do not find any substantial difference in the estimate of the properties of the sources among the three models. Our conclusion is that models with constant electron density and ionization parameter are probably sufficient, in most cases, to fit the currently available X-ray data of accreting black holes.
