description: This is a protocol for overview of systematic reviews on Qigong and Tai Chi. Qigong and Tai chi are traditional methods of physical and mental training in East Asia. Their health-promoting effects in various diseases have been studied for a long time, and there have been many clinical trials and systematic reviews. The present study aimed to review all published systematic reviews on Qigong and Tai chi to comprehensively summarize the evidence supporting both. The following databases will be searched: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Research Information Sharing Service, and Korean studies Information Service System. The selection and extraction process will be performed by two independent reviewers, and qualitative synthesis will be conducted. Through the present study, it will be possible to determine the types of diseases to which Qigong and Tai chi can be applied, as well as their effects. This is expected to give an overview of Qigong and Tai chi, where many studies have been published over the past decade.

description: Observed at z = 4.601 and with L_bol = 3.5 x 10^14 Lsun, W2246-0526 is the most luminous galaxy known in the Universe, and hosts a deeply-buried active galactic nucleus (AGN)/super-massive black hole (SMBH). Discovered using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), W2246-0526 is classified as a Hot Dust Obscured Galaxy (Hot DOG), based on its luminosity and dust temperature. Here we present spatially resolved ALMA [CII]157.7um observations of W2246-0526, providing unique insight into the kinematics of its interstellar medium (ISM). The measured [CII]-to-far-infrared ratio is ~2 x 10^-4, implying ISM conditions that compare only with the most obscured, compact starbursts and AGN in the local Universe today. The spatially resolved [CII] line is strikingly uniform and very broad, 500-600 km/s wide, extending throughout the entire galaxy over about 2.5 kpc, with modest shear. Such a large, homogeneous velocity dispersion indicates a highly turbulent medium. W2246-0526 is unstable in terms of the energy and momentum that are being injected into the ISM, strongly suggesting that the gas is being blown away from the system isotropically, likely reflecting a cathartic state on its road to becoming an un-obscured quasar. W2246-0526 provides an extraordinary laboratory to study and model the properties and kinematics of gas in an extreme environment under strong feedback, at a time when the Universe was 1/10 of its current age: a system pushing the limits that can be reached during galaxy formation.

subject: Sustainable urban development--Ontario--Ottawa

description: The paper is an exposition of a positive professional planning experience. In retrospect, it appears that this has been possible due to the front line planners' commitment to professional ethics and values, and to greater public interest in community planning. The planners of the City of Ottawa Official Plan review team seized the opportunity to become the leaders in incorporating sustainable development principles in the City's new Official Plan. Planners here have played the pivotal role as catalysts in mobilizing the community through a very open, extensive, community-based participation process. Through a rigorous process of consultation and information sharing, planners and the community mutually empowered each other and overcame many obstacles of pioneering a new or renewed approach to land use planning. The professional and community responsibility to "think globally - act locally" to ensure sustainable development for now and for the future was carried out.
description: Cet article décrit une expérience professionnelle positive rendue possible grâce à des urbanistes qui ont mis en pratique l'éthique et les valeurs professionnelles. Elle est aussi due à un plus grand intérêt de la population à l'endroit de l'urbanisme. Les urbanistes chargés de réviser le plan officiel de la Ville d'Ottawa ont joué un rôle de chef de file en intégrant les principes du développement viable au nouveau plan. Ces urbanistes ont servi de catalyseurs en mobilisant la collectivité par le truchement d'un processus de participation élargi et très ouvert. Grâce à un processus rigoureux de consultation et de partage d'information, les urbanistes et la collectivité se sont donné mutuellement des pouvoirs et ont surmonté beaucoup d'obstacles pour finalement adopter une nouvelle approche urbanistique. Ainsi, les professionnels et la collectivité ont mis en pratique le principe de «pensée globale - action locale» en vue de garantir un développement viable pour aujourd'hui et pour demain.

Does being feminine give an advantage to female politicians in system threat situations?

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Our purpose is to extend the literature by demonstrating how each politician's gender-stereotyped statements gives them an advantage in system threat situations. Compared to other developed countries, Japan has a very large gender gap and is dominated by male leaders (Ono &Yamada, 2020). This fact suggests that the stereotype of female leaders may work more negatively against women who aspire to become politicians in Japan. The stereotype that male politicians are more discretionary and female politicians are more compassionate has long been pointed out (Huddy, 1993). But such studies take a one-dimensional view of gender stereotypes. To deal with this difficulty, we reveal the complex functioning of gender stereotypes by focusing on complementary stereotypes. Complementary stereotype research in social psychology suggests that, stereotypes are not simply negative, but function in a mutually complementary way to satisfy our belief that the world should be fair (Jost & Kay, 2005). From this point of view, voters may have mutually supplementary stereotypes of male politicians as competent but cold and female politicians as incompetent but warm. In fact, stereotypes toward women leaders are not always detrimental to women politicians. Prior research suggests that systemic threats may, in some cases, work in favor of female candidates in some cases (Brown, 2011).

description: Alexandra Stam, from FORS, presented ethical considerations around data sharing. She first explained the differences between ethical and legal obligations. She then described the main regulating frameworks, which consist in requirements made by ethical committees, as well as discipline-specific recommendations in the form of codes of ethics and international guidelines. She then discussed the ethics of data sharing by presenting the ethical grounds in favor and against ethical sharing. Finally, she reminded the audience of the main ethical practices to protect research participants - that are informed consent, anonymization and access control – and how these can be combined for better protection. The presentation was delivered at "Data management for open science" workshop, held on 4th December 2019 at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb (FFZG), Croatia, during the first official presentation of CROSSDA, the Croatian Social Science Data Archive as a national public service and service provider for CESSDA ERIC.

description: For most breast cancer patients, the decision to proceed with breast reconstruction is complicated and requires deliberation. Shared decision-making (SDM) is ideally suited to this clinical situation to make a high-quality treatment and preference-concordant decision. But there is no comprehensive overview of existing SDM interventions for breast reconstruction in breast cancer. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to understand the current situation of SDM in breast reconstruction for breast cancer, including the decisional needs, decisional support and decisional outcomes.

description: We present a broadband spectropolarimetric survey of 563 discrete, mostly unresolved radio sources between 1.3 \& 2.0 GHz using data taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We have used rotation measure synthesis to identify Faraday complex polarized sources --- i.e. objects whose frequency-dependent polarization behaviour indicates the presence of material possessing complicated magnetoionic structure along the line of sight (LOS). For sources classified as Faraday complex, we have analyzed a number of their radio and multiwavelength properties to determine whether they differ from Faraday simple polarized sources (i.e. sources for which LOS magnetoionic structures are comparatively simple) in these properties. We use this information to constrain the physical nature of the magnetoionic structures responsible for generating the observed complexity. We detect Faraday complexity in 12\% of polarized sources at $\sim1'$ resolution, but demonstrate that underlying signal-to-noise limitations mean the true percentage is likely to be significantly higher in the polarized radio source population. We find that the properties of Faraday complex objects are diverse, but that complexity is most often associated with depolarization of extended radio sources possessing a relatively steep total intensity spectrum. We find an association between Faraday complexity and LOS structure in the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM), and claim that a significant proportion of the Faraday complexity we observe may be generated at interfaces of the ISM associated with ionization fronts near neutral hydrogen structures. Galaxy clusters environments and internally generated Faraday complexity provide possible alternative explanations in some cases.

description: The University of Sheffield (USFD) participated in the International Workshop for Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) in 2014. In this paper, we will introduce the USFD SLT system for IWSLT. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is achieved by two multi-pass deep neural network systems with adaptation and rescoring techniques. Machine translation (MT) is achieved by a phrase-based system. The USFD primary system incorporates state-of-the-art ASR and MT techniques and gives a BLEU score of 23.45 and 14.75 on the English-to-French and English-to-German speech-to-text translation task with the IWSLT 2014 data. The USFD contrastive systems explore the integration of ASR and MT by using a quality estimation system to rescore the ASR outputs, optimising towards better translation. This gives a further 0.54 and 0.26 BLEU improvement respectively on the IWSLT 2012 and 2014 evaluation data.

description: The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the beliefs and perspectives about play held by teachers, children and parents from a variety of schools and then consider how those beliefs and perspectives influence pedagogical decisions, and the provisions made for play in Western Australian (WA) Pre-Primary (PP) - Year 1 (Yr1) school settings. The aim of this study will be fourfold. First, to explore the beliefs, perspectives and practices of early childhood (EC) teachers who identify as being play-based in their approach to teaching and learning and consider how these beliefs are reflected in the environment, early childhood curriculum, teaching pedagogies and learning experiences employed in PP-Yr1. Second, to investigate the beliefs and practices of children towards play and play-based teaching and learning. Third, to explore the beliefs and perspectives of parents towards play and play-based teaching and learning. Finally, the research will aim to provide an in-depth account of the actual affordances and hindrances to play and implementing a play-based approach during these critical EC years in WA.

description: We explore the possibility of detecting hydrogen radio recombination lines from 0 < z < 10 quasars. We compute the expected Hnalpha flux densities as a function of absolute magnitude and redshift by considering (i) the range of observed AGN spectral indices from UV to X-ray bands, (ii) secondary ionizations from X-ray photons, and (iii) stimulated emission due to nonthermal radiation. All these effects are important to determine the line fluxes. We find that the combination of slopes: alpha_X,hard = -1.11, alpha_X,soft = -0.7, alpha_EUV = -1.3, alpha_UV = -1.7, maximizes the expected flux, f_Hnalpha = 10 microJy for z = 7 quasars with M_AB = -27 in the n = 50 lines; allowed SED variations produce variations by a factor of 3 around this value. Secondaries boost the line intensity by a factor of 2 to 4, while stimulated emission in high-z quasars with M_AB = -26 provides an extra boost to RRL flux observed at nu = 1 GHz if recombinations arise in HII regions with T_e = 10^3-5 K, n_e = 10^3-5 cm^-3. We compute the sensitivity required for a 5sigma detection of Hnalpha lines using the SKA, finding that the SKA-MID could detect sources with M_AB < -27 (M_AB < -26) at z < 8 (z < 3) in less than 100 hrs of observing time. These observations could open new paths to searches for obscured SMBH progenitors, complementing X-ray, optical/IR and sub-mm surveys.

New media in the newsroom: a survey of local journalists and their managers on the use of social media as reporting tools
Creators: name: White, Eric Lee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: A survey of news reporters and their managers was conducted to determine whether their audiences' media-consumption habits have affected newsroom routines. The findings suggest that journalists are adopting social media (Facebook and Twitter) at a high rate, but TV reporters are more likely use social media as tools to pitch stories to news managers, to produce news stories and to deliver news stories. The findings suggest that journalists primarily use social media as promotional tools that the most likely predictors of journalists' social media use are perceptions of the competition's use of social media followed by the news manager's social media expectations. Additionally, news managers perceive their reporters use social media at a significantly higher rate than the reporters indicated. It also appears that several news organizations do not have clearly stated social media guidelines. This raises questions about whether news organizations have a clear social media strategy.

description: Roberts Wesleyan College (RWC) is located in Rochester, New York. Roberts is currently a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and the American Mideast Conference. This study examined potential reclassification to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II or NCAA Division III and conferences within each division. Interviews and analysis of existing financial information were conducted. The study focused on: the reclassification process and associated costs, sport sponsorship costs and trends in expenses and potential revenues, and matching institutional identity and philosophy. The study also compared the core values of the new conferences with those of Roberts. The sports sponsored in each conference and association also were analyzed to determine associated costs, including any new facility needs. A comparison of the NAIA and the NCAA was conducted to help determine the reliability of each association.

description: We derive steerability criteria applicable for both finite and infinite dimensional quantum systems using covariance matrices of local observables. We show that these criteria are useful to detect a wide range of entangled states particularly in high dimensional systems and that the Gaussian steering criteria for general M x N-modes of continuous variables are obtained as a special case. Extending from the approach of entanglement detection via covariance matrices, our criteria are based on the local uncertainty principles incorporating the asymmetric nature of steering scenario. Specifically, we apply the formulation to the case of local orthogonal observables and obtain some useful criteria that can be straightforwardly computable, and testable in experiment, with no need for numerical optimization.

Journey

description: When Pietro Maria and Lina Bo Bardi crossed the Atlantic Ocean aboard the liner Almirante Jaceguay, in 1946, they intended to embark on a long trip to Brazil. However, they ended up moving there altogether. Therefore, their journey became something so different from what was expected that one can barely call it a “journey”. Nevertheless, if a journey is also and above all the daily experience of “otherness”, of seeing things from a decentralised point of view, maybe we should indeed consider the years Lina Bo Bardi spent in Brazil as such. This paper aims to show that Bo Bardi’s uncomfortable but favourable position – as a traveller in a country she loved, where she felt she belonged, but was also compelled to see from the outside, through a sort of “anthropological gaze” – is one of the main conditions of her most original ideas and works.

Correlation Between Laser Fluorescence Readings and Volume of Tooth Preparation in Incipient Occlusal Caries In Vitro
Creators: name: Ghaname, Eduardo Silveira
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This study evaluated the correlation between laser fluorescence readings and the extent of carious tooth structure as measured by the volume of tooth preparation in vitro. One hundred and three permanent molars and premolars containing incipient occlusal caries were selected. DIAGNOdent and QLF readings were obtained according to manufacturer instructions. Caries was removed with ¼ round burs in high speed. The amount of uncured composite needed to fill the prepared cavity was used to calculate the volume of tooth preparation. The Pearson correlation for preparation volume and maximum DIAGNOdent reading and QLF measurements was 0.285 and 0.399 respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of DIAGNOdent was .83 and .60 and .66 and .73 for the cut-off values of 20 and 30 respectively. Within the limitations of this study, it is possible to conclude that laser fluorescence measured with DIAGNOdent and QLF does not appear to correlate well with tooth preparation volume.

description: For important classes of many-fermion problems, quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods allow exact calculations of ground-state and finite-temperature properties, without the sign problem. The list spans condensed matter, nuclear physics, and high-energy physics, including the half-filled repulsive Hubbard model, the spin-balanced atomic Fermi gas, lattice QCD calculations at zero density with Wilson Fermions, and is growing rapidly as a number of problems have been discovered recently to be free of the sign problem. In these situations, QMC calculations are relied upon to provide definitive answers. Their results are instrumental to our ability to understand and compute properties in fundamental models important to multiple sub-areas in quantum physics. It is shown, however, that the most commonly employed algorithms in such situations turn out to have an infinite variance problem. A diverging variance causes the estimated Monte Carlo statistical error bar to be incorrect, which can render the results of the calculation unreliable or meaningless. We discuss how to identify the infinite variance problem. An approach is then proposed to solve the problem. The solution does not require major modifications to standard algorithms, adding a ``bridge link" to the imaginary-time path-integral. The general idea is applicable to a variety of situations where the infinite variance problem may be present. Illustrative results are presented for the ground state of the Hubbard model at half-filling.

Blow-up in manifolds with generalized corners

description: We construct a functor from the category of manifolds with generalized corners to the category of complexes of toric monoids, and for every `refinement' of the complex associated to a manifold, we show there is a unique `blow-up', i.e., a new manifold mapping to the original one, which satisfies a universal property and whose complex realizes the refinement. This was inspired in part by the work of Gillam and Molcho, though we work with manifolds with generalized corners, as developed by Joyce, which have embedded boundary faces, for which the appropriate objects (i.e., complexes of monoids) are simpler than they would be otherwise (i.e., monoidal spaces in the sense of Kato).

description: Long period variable stars arise in the final stages of the asymptotic giant branch phase of stellar evolution. They have periods of up to ~1000d and amplitudes that can exceed a factor of three in the I-band flux. These stars pulsate predominantly in their fundamental mode, which is a function of mass and radius, and so the pulsation periods are sensitive to the age of the underlying stellar population. The overall number of long period variables in a population is directly related to their lifetime, which is difficult to predict from first principles because of uncertainties associated with stellar mass-loss and convective mixing. The time variability of these stars has not been previously taken into account when modeling the spectral energy distributions of galaxies. Here we construct time-dependent stellar population models that include the effects of long period variable stars, and report the ubiquitous detection of this expected `pixel shimmer' in the massive metal-rich galaxy M87. The pixel light curves display a variety of behaviors, including linearly rising and falling curves, semi-periodic curves, and sudden increases or decreases in the flux level. The observed variation of 0.1-1% is very well matched to the predictions of our models. The data provide a strong and novel constraint on the properties of variable stars in an old and metal-rich stellar population, and we infer that the lifetime of long period variables in M87 is shorter by approximately 30% compared to predictions from the latest stellar evolution models.

The shared vision of such systems is typically associated with one single conception Internet of Things (IoT), where through the deployment of sensors, the entire physical infrastructure is firmly fastened with information and communication technologies; where intelligent observation and management is achieved via the usage of networked embedded devices. The performance of a real-time control depends not only on the reliability of the hardware and software used but also on the time delay in estimating the output, because of the effects of computing time delay on the control system performance. For a given fixed sampling interval, the delay and loss issues are the consequences of computing time delay. The delay problem occurs when the computing time delay is non-zero but smaller than the sampling interval, while the loss problem occurs when the computing time delay is greater than, or equal to, the sampling interval, i.e., loss of the control output. These two queries are analyzed as a means of evaluating real-time control systems. First, a general analysis of the effects of computing time delay is presented along with necessary conditions for system stability. In this thesis, we will focus on the experimental study of the closed loop control system in the internet of things to determine the cycle time constraints in case of link failure.

description: A large-area and light-weight Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector was built at the University of Virginia as a prototype for the detector R$\&$D program of the future Electron Ion Collider. The prototype has a trapezoidal geometry designed as a generic sector module in a disk layer configuration of a forward tracker in collider detectors. It is based on light-weight material and narrow support frames in order to minimize multiple scattering and dead-to-sensitive area ratio. The chamber has a novel type of two dimensional (2D) stereo-angle readout board with U-V strips that provides (r,$φ$) position information in the cylindrical coordinate system of a collider environment. The prototype was tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility in October 2013 and the analysis of the test beam data demonstrates an excellent response uniformity of the large area chamber with an efficiency higher than 95%. An angular resolution of 60 $μ$rad in the azimuthal direction and a position resolution better than 550 $μ$m in the radial direction were achieved with the U-V strip readout board. The results are discussed in this paper.
Modeling complex longitudinal data from heterogeneous samples using longitudinal latent profile analysis

description: Traditional approaches for examining longitudinal data tend to assume that (1) each individual's shape of change over time follows a pre-specified functional form, and (2) this same basic shape applies to all individuals under study. However, these assumptions are not always tenable in current psychological research. The current report introduces longitudinal latent profile analysis (LLPA), a mixture model which relaxes these assumptions by allowing flexible representation of both inter-individual difference and intra-individual change over time. The LLPA framework allows for this flexibility by modeling the shape of change as a function of two parameters - a time-invariant level, and a vector of time-specific deviations from that overall level - and allowing these paramters to vary categorically between individuals according to latent classes. LLPA and an extension including random effects within-class are applied to an empirical dataset concerning the development of depression in early adulthood, and results are compared to a number of traditional models. The sensitivity of LLPA to random noise in the data is then explored through a brief proof-of-concept simulation. Potential opportunities brought to bear by LLPA, as well as limitations of this approach, are discussed.

description: We present a sample of local red giant stars observed using the New Mexico State University 1 m telescope with the APOGEE spectrograph, for which we estimate stellar ages and the age distribution from the high-resolution spectroscopic stellar parameters and accurate distance measurements from Hipparcos. The high-resolution (R ~ 23,000), near infrared (H-band, 1.5-1.7 micron) APOGEE spectra provide measurements of the stellar atmospheric parameters (temperature, surface gravity, [M/H], and [alpha/M]). Due to the smaller uncertainties in surface gravity possible with high-resolution spectra and accurate Hipparcos distance measurements, we are able to calculate the stellar masses to within 40%. For red giants, the relatively rapid evolution of stars up the red giant branch allows the age to be constrained based on the mass. We examine methods of estimating age using both the mass-age relation directly and a Bayesian isochrone matching of measured parameters, assuming a constant star formation history (SFH). To improve the prior on the SFH, we use a hierarchical modeling approach to constrain the parameters of a model SFH from the age probability distribution functions of the data. The results of an alpha dependent Gaussian SFH model shows a clear relation between age and [alpha/M] at all ages. Using this SFH model as the prior for an empirical Bayesian analysis, we construct a full age probability distribution function and determine ages for individual stars. The age-metallicity relation is flat, with a slight decrease in [M/H] at the oldest ages and a ~ 0.5 dex spread in metallicity. For stars with ages < 1 Gyr we find a smaller spread, consistent with radial migration having a smaller effect on these young stars than on the older stars.

description: We present a photometric catalog of 8,735,004 proper motion selected low-mass stars (KML-spectral types) within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) footprint, from the combined SDSS Data Release 10 (DR10), Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Point Source Catalog (PSC), and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) AllWISE catalog. Stars were selected using $r-i$, $i-z$, $r-z$, $z-J$, and $z-W1$ colors, and SDSS, WISE, and 2MASS astrometry was combined to compute proper motions. The resulting 3,518,150 stars were augmented with proper motions for 5,216,854 earlier type stars from the combined SDSS and United States Naval Observatory B1.0 catalog (USNO-B). We used SDSS+USNO-B proper motions to determine the best criteria for selecting a clean sample of stars. Only stars whose proper motions were greater than their $2$$σ$ uncertainty were included. Our Motion Verified Red Stars (MoVeRS) catalog is available through SDSS CasJobs and VizieR.

Inverted initial conditions: exploring the growth of cosmic structure and voids

description: We introduce and explore "paired" cosmological simulations. A pair consists of an A and B simulation with initial conditions related by the inversion $δ_A(x, t_{initial})=-δ_B(x,t_{initial})$ (underdensities substituted for overdensities and vice versa). We argue that the technique is valuable for improving our understanding of cosmic structure formation. The A and B fields are by definition equally likely draws from ΛCDM initial conditions, and in the linear regime evolve identically up to the overall sign. As non-linear evolution takes hold, a region that collapses to form a halo in simulation A will tend to expand to create a void in simulation B. Applications include (i) contrasting the growth of A-halos and B-voids to test excursion-set theories of structure formation; (ii) cross-correlating the density field of the A and B universes as a novel test for perturbation theory; and (iii) canceling error terms by averaging power spectra between the two boxes. Generalizations of the method to more elaborate field transformations are suggested.

Interactions between the living and the dead in early Iron Age Greece
Creators: name: Beeby, Cicek
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This paper offers a reevaluation of mortuary variability in Early Iron Age Greece through a theoretical framework that emphasizes formation processes. To that end, a model that highlights the role of interaction between the living and the dead throughout the development of mortuary contexts is presented. Interaction is defined as episodes that connect the world of the living with the world of the dead both physically and symbolically. The model is intended to be an analytical tool that can reassess individual events and actions that shape our mortuary data and delineate different degrees of interaction inherent in each stage. The present study proposes that mortuary variability of Early Iron Age communities can be studied as dynamic systems that reflect diverse responses to societal structure. The Early Iron Age cemetery of Toumba at Lefkandi is selected as a case study.
