description: Ever since the emergence of experimental psychology in the seventeenth century, there has been a consistent interest in the study of higher mental processes. This interest may be traced back to the beginning of the scientific revolution. This fascination dates all the way back to when the field was first established. Nevertheless, in the late 1950s, a discontinuous event happened that was so significant that it is now referred to as the "cognitive revolution," and the understanding of the mental processes that it created is referred to as "cognitive psychology." What ended up happening was that American psychologists turned away from behaviorism and embraced a model of the mind that was based on computers. To put it another way, the cognitive revolution was the implementation of a model of the mind that was based on computers. The concise history that has been presented here covers the history of mainstream cognitive psychology from the commencement of the cognitive revolution till the beginning of the twenty-first century. This timeline covers the history of cognitive psychology as it is generally accepted today. The development of this history was assisted in part by Hilgard (1987) as well as Kessel and Bevan (1985). In the field of psychology in the United States, behaviorism was the dominant theoretical framework employed for most of the time between the 1920s and the 1950s. He restricted his thinking to the concepts of stimulus and response and put a large focus on the associative learning process, particularly as it connected to non-human animals. He believed that humans were the only species capable of this kind of learning. The behavioral school of thought placed a significant amount of emphasis on the process of associative development. The collapse of behaviorism was not brought on by concepts originating inside the field of psychology; rather, it was brought on by three research methodologies that had nothing to do with the study of psychology. These new ideas and theories about signal processing and communication had a significant impact on psychologists who were working during the war years. New ideas and theories about signal processing and communication were created during World War II.

description: We propose a hierarchy of nonlinearly dispersive generalized Korteweg--de Vries (KdV) evolution equations based on a modification of the Lagrangian density whose induced action functional the KdV equation extremizes. It is shown that two recent nonlinear evolution equations describing wave propagation in certain generalized continua with an inherent material length scale are members of the proposed hierarchy. Like KdV, the equations from the proposed hierarchy possess Hamiltonian structure. Unlike KdV, however, the solutions to these equations can be compact (i.e., they vanish outside of some open interval) and, in addition, peaked. Implicit solutions for these peaked, compact traveling waves ("peakompactons") are presented.

description: Photocatalytic H2 generation by water splitting is a promising alternative for producing renewable fuels. This work synthesized a new type of Ta2O5/SrZrO3 heterostructure with Ru and Cu (RuO2/CuxO/Ta2O5/SrZrO3) using solid-state chemistry methods to achieve a high H2 production of 5164 μmol g−1 h−1 under simulated solar light, 39 times higher than that produced using SrZrO3. The heterostructure performance is compared with other Ta2O5/SrZrO3 heterostructure compositions loaded with RuO2, CuxO, or Pt. CuxO is used to showcase the usage of less costly cocatalysts to produce H2. The photocatalytic activity toward H2 by the RuO2/CuxO/Ta2O5/SrZrO3 heterostructure remains the highest, followed by RuO2/Ta2O5/SrZrO3 > CuxO/ Ta2O5/SrZrO3 > Pt/Ta2O5/SrZrO3 > Ta2O5/SrZrO3 > SrZrO3. Band gap tunability and high optical absorbance in the visible region are more prominent for the heterostructures containing cocatalysts (RuO2 or CuxO) and are even higher for the binary catalyst (RuO2/CuxO). The presence of the binary catalyst is observed to impact the charge carrier transport in Ta2O5/SrZrO3, improving the solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency.The results represent a valuable contribution to the design of SrZrO3-based heterostructures for photocatalytic H2 production by solar water splitting.

description: Recently, a family of exact force-free electrodynamic (FFE) solutions was given by Brennan, Gralla and Jacobson, which generalizes earlier solutions by Michel, Menon and Dermer, and other authors. These solutions have been proposed as useful models for describing the outer magnetosphere of conducting stars. As with any exact analytical solution that aspires to describe actual physical systems, it is vitally important that the solution possess the necessary stability. In this paper, we show via fully nonlinear numerical simulations that the aforementioned FFE solutions, despite being highly special in their properties, are nonetheless stable under small perturbations. Through this study, we also introduce a three-dimensional pseudospectral relativistic FFE code that achieves exponential convergence for smooth test cases, as well as two additional well-posed FFE evolution systems in the appendix that have desirable mathematical properties. Furthermore, we provide an explicit analysis that demonstrates how propagation along degenerate principal null directions of the spacetime curvature tensor simplifies scattering, thereby providing an intuitive understanding of why these exact solutions are tractable, i.e. why they are not backscattered by spacetime curvature.

title: Die Entwicklung der Königswahlen im "Deutschen Reich" - von Otto I. bis Karl IV.
Creators: name: Stahl, Michaela
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Entwicklung der Königswahlen im „Deutschen Reich“ in der Zeitspanne von Otto I. bis Karl IV. Sie geht vordergründig der Frage nach, wie sich die Wahlen im Laufe der Jahrhunderte veränderten, sodass sie vorerst in der Goldenen Bulle zu einem formalen Ende finden konnten. Bei diesen Überlegungen spielen vor allem einschneidende Ereignisse und Problematiken eine Rolle, die Veränderungen beim Wahlhergang herbeigeführt haben könnten. Den Lesenden soll durch Begriffsdefinitionen am Anfang der Arbeit der Zugang zu diesem komplexenThemengebiet erleichtert werden. In den Blickpunkt der Arbeit werden besonders vier Primärquellen gerückt: Widukindi monachi Corbeiensis rerum gestarum Saxonicarum libri tres – „Die Sachsengeschichte“ Widukind von Corveys –, Gesta Chuonradi II. imperatoris – „Das Leben Kaiser Konrad II.“ von Wipo, „Der Sachsenspiegel“ Eike von Repgows und die „Goldene Bulle“ von Karl IV. Die Arbeit an dem Thema hat gezeigt, dass die Entwicklung der Königswahl ein langwieriger Prozess war, der viele Gesichtspunkte umfasste, wie etwa Änderungen im Wahlgremium, der Wahl- und Krönungsorte, aber auch Rückgriffe auf die Antike vornahm – zu nennen sind hier die Insignien und das Königsheil. Welche Bedeutung all diese Aspekte bei der Entwicklung der Königswahlen spielte, zeigt diese Arbeit auf.
description: This thesis deals with the development of the imperial elections in the „German empire“, with particular attention to the period of Otto I. to Karl IV. It concerns itself with the question how the elections changed in the mentioned time period, ending in a formal codification, namely the „Goldene Bulle“ for the time being. Far-reaching events and problems are of utter importance for the development of the elections. Definitions of terms at the beginning of the work aim to improve accessibility of this complex topic. The thesis focuses on four primary sources: Widukindi monachi Corbeiensis rerum gestarum Saxonicarum libri tres – „Die Sachsengeschichte" Widukind of Corveys –, Gesta Chuonradi II imperatoris – „Das Leben Kaiser Konrad II." by Wipo, „Der Sachsenspiegel” Eike of Repgows and the „Goldene Bulle” of Karl IV. Work on the topic has shown that the development of the imperal election was a lengthy process that included many aspects, such as changes in the electors, sites of elections and coronations, as well as regression to ancient times – the regalia and sacred kingship must be mentioned here. This work shows the importance of all these aspects in the development of the elections.

Using explicit formulas of the action of the monodromy matrix elements onto Bethe vectors in the GL(3)-based quantum integrable models we prove a formula for the Bethe vectors of composite model. We show that this representation is a particular case of general coproduct property of the weight functions (Bethe vectors) found in the theory of the deformed Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation.

description: It is often claimed that overdensities of (or even individual bright) submillimetre-selected galaxies (SMGs) trace the assembly of the most-massive dark matter structures in the Universe. We test this claim by performing a counts-in-cells analysis of mock SMG catalogues derived from the Bolshoi cosmological simulation to investigate how well SMG associations trace the underlying dark matter structure. We find that SMGs exhibit a relatively complex bias: some regions of high SMG overdensity are underdense in terms of dark matter mass, and some regions of high dark matter overdensity contain no SMGs. Because of their rarity, Poisson noise causes scatter in the SMG overdensity at fixed dark matter overdensity. Consequently, rich associations of less-luminous, more-abundant galaxies (i.e. Lyman-break galaxy analogues) trace the highest dark matter overdensities much better than SMGs. Even on average, SMG associations are relatively poor tracers of the most significant dark matter overdensities because of 'downsizing': at z < ~2.5, the most-massive galaxies that reside in the highest dark matter overdensities have already had their star formation quenched and are thus no longer SMGs. At a given redshift, of the 10 per cent most-massive overdensities, only ~25 per cent contain at least one SMG, and less than a few per cent contain more than one SMG.

description: Σκοπός: Η παρούσα εργασία έχει ως σκοπό να περιγράψει το Σύνδρομο των Πολυκυστι- κών Ωοθηκών, ένα σύνδρομο που επηρεάζει καθημερινά ένα μεγάλο ποσοστό των γυναι- κών παγκοσμίως. Στην εργασία αυτή αναλύεται η παθοφυσιολογία του συνδρόμου, πως σχετίζεται με διάφορες διαταραχές και ποια κριτήρια εφαρμόζονται για την διάγνωση του. Τέλος, αναφέρονται οι θεραπευτικές προσεγγίσεις που εφαρμόζονται στις γυναίκες λαμ- βάνοντας υπόψη τους στόχους τους που επιθυμούν να πετύχουν. Μέθοδος: Μέσα από εκτενή αναζήτηση πολλών βιβλιογραφικών αναφορών μελετήθηκε η αιτιοπαθογένεση του συνδρόμου και ο ρόλος της αντίστασης στην ινσουλίνη και του υπερανδρογονισμού στην πολύπλοκη αυτή πάθηση. Το Σύνδρομο των Πολυκυστικών Ωο- θηκών έχει ενδοκρινικές, μεταβολικές, αναπαραγωγικές και ψυχολογικές διαταραχές, ό- που μια γυναίκα καλείται να αντιμετωπίσει σε καθημερινή βάση για όλη της την ζωή. Κά- ποιος από αυτές είναι η παχυσαρκία, η καρδιαγγειακή νόσος, η αποφρακτική υπνική ά- πνοια, η υπογονιμότητα, η ακμή και η υπερτρίχωση, διαταραχές που φαίνεται να εμφανί- ζονται πιο συχνά σε σύγκριση με γυναίκες χωρίς το σύνδρομο αυτό. Η έλλειψη προσδιορισμού του συνδρόμου και της κατανόησης των παθογόνων μηχανι- σμών του λόγω της πολυπλοκότητας του, ωστόσο, έχει ως συνέπεια να καθιστούν αδύ- νατο τον ορισμό της πάθησης. Για τον λόγο αυτό έχουν προταθεί διαγνωστικά κριτήρια από διάφορες επιστημονικές εταιρείες με σκοπό την αντιμετώπιση του συνδρόμου αυτού. Τα κριτήρια περιλαμβάνουν τον υπερανδρογονισμό, βιοχημικό ή κλινικό, την ολιγο/ανω- ορρηξία και την ύπαρξη μορφολογίας πολυκυστικών ωοθηκών στην υπερηχογραφική εξέ- ταση των ωοθηκών. Οι γυναίκες πρέπει να εμφανίσουν δύο από τα τρία προαναφερθέντα χαρακτηριστικά για να διαγνωστούν με το Σύνδρομο των Πολυκυστικών Ωοθηκών. Τέλος, ως μέθοδος θεραπείας των πολυκυστικών ωοθηκών, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τον λόγο της επίσκεψης μιας γυναίκας στον γιατρό, εφαρμόζεται και η κατάλληλη μέθο- δός. Στις έφηβες και στις γυναίκες που στοχεύουν στην ρύθμιση του έμμηνου κύκλου συ- στήνεται η λήψη αντισυλληπτικών χαπιών, ενώ στις γυναίκες που επιθυμούν εγκυμοσύνη συστήνεται να ακολουθήσει τις θεραπευτικές γραμμές για την πρόκληση ωορρηξίας. Συμπεράσματα: Συνοπτικά, το Σύνδρομο των Πολυκυστικών Ωοθηκών, είναι μια πολύ- πλοκη διαταραχή που απασχολεί ένα μεγάλο ποσοστό γυναικών παγκοσμίως, 6-20% του γενικού πληθυσμού, και με την σωστή διάγνωση και αντιμετώπιση θα επιφέρει σημαντικά θετικά αποτελέσματα στις γυναίκες αυτές.

description: Για περισσότερο από μία δεκαετία η παγκόσμια οικονομία υπέστη δύο μεγάλα σοκ, αυτό της οικονομικής κρίσης που έγινε αισθητό το 2008 και αυτό της υγειονομικής κρίσης, η οποία συντάραξε την ανθρωπότητα σε επίπεδο απώλειας ανθρώπινων ζωών, αλλά και σε επίπεδο οικονομίας. Η ελληνική οικονομία έγινε αποδέκτης δραματικών επιπτώσεων. Η βίαιη μεταβολή της ζήτησης και της προσφοράς, παγκοσμίως, συνοδευόμενη από πρωτόγνωρα περιοριστικά μέτρα, δημιούργησαν μια άνευ προηγουμένου οικονομική κρίση. Μέσα σε αυτό το ιδιαίτερο κλίμα, η Επιτροπή Ανταγωνισμού στην Ελλάδα, θεματοφύλακας του ανταγωνισμού, από πολύ νωρίς εκίνησε διαδικασίες και έρευνες για την αντιμετώπιση διάφορων φαινομένων στην αγορά, ιδιαίτερα στις αγορές εκείνες τις οποίες η κρίση έπληξε περισσότερο. Σκοπός της, η διαφύλαξη της ανταγωνιστικής δομής της αγοράς, η προστασία των συμφερόντων του καταναλωτή και η οικονομική ανάπτυξη. Μέσα από την ανάλυση της παρούσας εργασίας επιχειρείται μέσα από τη μελέτη τριών κλάδων της οικονομίας, η ανάδειξη του ρόλου των κανονιστικών παρεμβάσεων που πραγματοποιούνται από την Επιτροπή Ανταγωνισμού (ΕΑ), αλλά και το θεσμικό και νομικό πλαίσιο υπό τη σκέπη του οποίου αναπτύσσονται αυτές οι παρεμβάσεις. Ο νόμος 3959/2011 περί προστασίας του ελεύθερου ανταγωνισμού δίνει την εξουσία στην Επιτροπή Ανταγωνισμού να ερευνά, να εντοπίζει παραβάσεις, να θέτει πρόστιμα και να λαμβάνει μέτρα αντιμετώπισης των αντί-ανταγωνιστικών πρακτικών. Αλλά ακόμη και όταν δεν παραβιάζονται τα άρθρα 1 και 2 του ν. 3959/2011 (ή 101 και 102 της ΣΛΕΕ), όμως διαπιστώνεται ότι ο ανταγωνισμός δεν λειτουργεί αποτελεσματικά, η κανονιστική παρέμβαση αποτελεί ένα μέτρο ώστε να μην μένουν περιθώρια ανάπτυξης αθέμιτων πρακτικών στην αγορά με πρόκληση αρνητικών συνεπειών σε επιχειρήσεις, σε καταναλωτές, στην εθνική οικονομία ακόμη και στη δημοκρατία σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις. Είναι σημαντικό να διαφυλάσσεται η εύρυθμη λειτουργία της αγοράς με κάθε τρόπο. Ο ρόλος της ΕΑ ενισχύεται και μέσω του άρθρου 23 του ν. 3959/2011, το οποίο της επιτρέπει να γνωμοδοτεί για την κατάργηση ή τροποποίηση νομοθετικών διατάξεων, εάν κρίνει ότι σε αυτές οφείλεται η έλλειψη συνθηκών αποτελεσματικού ανταγωνισμού. Πρόκειται για μια δικλείδα ασφαλείας κατά την εφαρμογή της πολιτικής ανταγωνισμού, προσφέροντας προστασία στις επιχειρήσεις και στο όφελος του καταναλωτή, δημιουργώντας παράλληλα αίσθημα εμπιστοσύνης και δικαίου σε όλους τους φορείς της αγοράς.

THE RELATION OF 24-HOUR URINE "LİPOCALİN-2'' LEVELS WITH LABORATORY AND CLINICAL PARAMERTES IN CHILHOOD OBESITY
Creators: name: CELIK, Aydin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Childhood, Obesity, Lipocalin-2,NGAL

description: Aim: A growing number of children throughout the globe are overweight or obese, which raises concerns about future rates of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Lipocalin-2, also known as LCN-2, is a glycoprotein that has been studied for more than ten years. It is well established that it rises in response to stressful circumstances, such as the presence of neoplastic disease, infection, inflammation, or ischemia. In recent years, several research have been conducted with the hypothesis that LCN 2 may serve as an early biomarker of renal ischemia. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the relationship between 24-hour urine LCN 2 levels and laboratory and clinical indicators in children who are overweight or obese. Method: Participants in our research ranged in age from 11 to 16 years old, and there was a total of 43 healthy obese participants and 32 healthy non-obese participants. We conducted anthropometric examinations and measurements. We examined the levels of cholesterol, LDL, and HDL in the blood as well as fasting serum glucose and insulin. The ELISA technique was used to assess the amounts of LCN 2 in urine collected over a period of 24 hours. The results of the analysis of the data gathered from this research were conducted using SPSS 15.0. We used Pearson correlation analyses to investigate the relationship between the independent factors. For the comparison between the obese group and the control group, a p-value of less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant. Results: The levels of lipocaline and creatinine in the obese people's urine were significantly different from those in the control group after 24 hours (p 0.05). When we compare groups of obese people who are insulin resistant with obese people who are not insulin resistant, we find that the insulin resistant obese group has considerably higher 24-hour urine LCN 2 levels. (p<0.05) Conclusion: There may be a connection between insulin resistance and LCN 2 in urine collected over a 24-hour period in children who are obese. More research is necessary, both in youngsters and in large populations, for us to comprehend the part that LCN 2 plays in obesity.

description: Since not only the amount of agricultural statistics but its representativeness and accuracy are falling steadily in Korea, statistical data are inadequate to deal with actual problems concerning the structural change, consumer's behavior, policy decision, and so on. Recently, the UN & FAO provided a framework for national and international statistical systems that enable them to produce and to apply the core data and information needed to guide decision making. The purpose of this study is to evaluate agricultural statistics depending on global strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics by the UN & FAO. The specific objectives of this study are to: 1) select core agricultural statistical data in Korea and 2) set order of priority for improving supplementation. This study examines all of statistical data on Korean agriculture including authorized and unauthorized statistical data and classified sectors into agriculture, livestock, environment, distribution/consumption and rural community.

description: It is shown in the present note that the degree of the complexity of the time-reading process of the Salecker--Wigner clock depends on the size of the clock. This dependence leads to a relation between the size and the accuracy of the clock, and suggests a precise optimal value for the size in agreement with the order of magnitude value established by Salecker and Wigner.

description: We simulate three-dimensional, horizontally periodic Rayleigh-Bénard convection between free-slip horizontal plates, rotating about a distant horizontal axis. When both the temperature difference between the plates and the rotation rate are sufficiently large, a strong horizontal wind is generated that is perpendicular to both the rotation vector and the gravity vector. The wind is turbulent, large-scale, and vertically sheared. Horizontal anisotropy, engendered here by rotation, appears necessary for such wind generation. Most of the kinetic energy of the flow resides in the wind, and the vertical turbulent heat flux is much lower on average than when there is no wind.

description: This paper analyzes 130 agricultural products related disputes filed through the WTO from 1995 to 2010. Simple descriptive statistics show that the US and Cairns group members have been the most active participants of the disputes on agricultural products not only as complainants but also as respondents. The Agreement on Agriculture, the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, and Agreements on Import Licensing Procedures have been the most frequently invoked provisions in agricultural product cases. Regression results indicate that disputes between neighboring countries are more likely to be pending, while the agricultural competitiveness gap between participants increases the possibility of the disputes settled through consultation. While relatively more ILA cases are settled and AG cases remain pending, SPS related cases are often taken to panel process. With these control variables considered, the cases involved with the Cairns group are shown to be more probable to proceed in panel stage, while cases against developing countries and frequently accused members, like the EU and Korea, are less likely to enter that stage. Also it is very difficult for complainants to get satisfactory results against the US and Cairns countries. Developing country complainants seem to be the especially poor performer.

description: In this paper, we analyze dynamic switching networks, wherein the networks switch arbitrarily among a set of topologies. For this class of dynamic networks, we derive an epidemic threshold, considering the SIS epidemic model. First, an epidemic probabilistic model is developed assuming independence between states of nodes. We identify the conditions under which the epidemic dies out by linearizing the underlying dynamical system and analyzing its asymptotic stability around the origin. The concept of joint spectral radius is then used to derive the epidemic threshold, which is later validated using several networks (Watts-Strogatz, Barabasi-Albert, MIT reality mining graphs, Regular, and Gilbert). A simplified version of the epidemic threshold is proposed for undirected networks. Moreover, in the case of static networks, the derived epidemic threshold is shown to match conventional analytical results. Then, analytical results for the epidemic threshold of dynamic networksare proved to be applicable to periodic networks. For dynamic regular networks, we demonstrate that the epidemic threshold is identical to the epidemic threshold for static regular networks. An upper bound for the epidemic spread probability in dynamic Gilbert networks is also derived and verified using simulation.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The magnetism and rotation of white dwarf (WD) stars are investigated in relation to a hydromagnetic dynamo operating in the progenitor during shell burning phases. The downward pumping of angular momentum in the convective envelope, in combination with the absorption of a planet or tidal spin-up from a binary companion, can trigger strong dynamo action near the core-envelope boundary. Several arguments point to the outer core as the source for a magnetic field in the WD remnant: the outer third of a $\sim 0.55\,M_\odot$ WD is processed during the shell burning phase(s) of the progenitor; the escape of magnetic helicity through the envelope mediates the growth of (compensating) helicity in the core, as is needed to maintain a stable magnetic field in the remnant; and the intense radiation flux at the core boundary facilitates magnetic buoyancy within a relatively thick tachocline layer. The helicity flux into the growing core is driven by a dynamical imbalance with a latitude-dependent rotational stress. The magnetic field deposited in an isolated massive WD is concentrated in an outer shell of mass $\lesssim 0.1\,M_\odot$ and can reach $\sim 10\,$MG. A buried toroidal field experiences moderate ohmic decay above an age $\sim 0.3$ Gyr, which may lead to growth or decay of the external magnetic field. The final WD spin period is related to a critical spin rate below which magnetic activity shuts off, and core and envelope decouple; it generally sits in the range of hours to days. WD periods ranging up to a year are possible if the envelope re-expands following a late thermal pulse.

Fits to the Fermi-LAT GeV excess with RH sneutrino dark matter: implications for direct and indirect dark matter searches and the LHC

description: We show that the right-handed (RH) sneutrino in the NMSSM can account for the observed excess in the Fermi-LAT spectrum of gamma rays from the Galactic Centre, while fulfilling all the current experimental constraints from the LHC as well as from direct and indirect dark matter searches. We have explored the parameter space of this scenario, computed the gamma ray spectrum for each phenomenologically viable solution and then performed a chi^2 fit to the excess. Unlike previous studies based on model independent interpretations, we have taken into account the full annihilation spectrum, without assuming pure annihilation channels. Furthermore, we have incorporated limits from direct detection experiments, LHC bounds and also the constraints from Fermi-LAT on dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) and gamma ray spectral lines. In addition, we have estimated the effect of the most recent Fermi-LAT reprocessed data (Pass 8). In general, we obtain good fits to the GCE when the RH sneutrino annihilates mainly into pairs of light singlet-like scalar or pseudoscalar Higgs bosons that subsequently decay in flight, producing four-body final states and spectral features that improve the goodness of the fit at large energies. The best fit (chi^2=20.8) corresponds to a RH sneutrino with a mass of 64 GeV which annihilates preferentially into a pair of light singlet-like pseudoscalar Higgs bosons (with masses of order 60 GeV). Besides, we have analysed other channels that also provide good fits to the excess. Finally, we discuss the implications for direct and indirect detection searches paying special attention to the possible appearance of gamma ray spectral features in near future Fermi-LAT analyses, as well as deviations from the SM-like Higgs properties at the LHC. Remarkably, many of the scenarios that fit the GCE can also be probed by these other complementary techniques.

description: This study examined the impact of COVID-19 on recreational walking while on vacation, a relevant activity among tourists especially in urban destinations. We surveyed visitors to Costa Daurada, an urban coastal destination in Catalonia in August 2020. Only 5% of participants reported lower recreational walking levels compared to normal circumstances; 75% reported similar levels; and 20% reported higher levels. Higher recreational walking levels were associated with visiting local amenities or strolling and with a higher level of perceived safety from COVID-19 when walking. Higher perceived overcrowding was associated with less recreational walking. The pandemic may have altered recreational behavior while on vacation in urban settings especially by increasing outdoor activities such as recreational walking. If persistent, such behavioral changes could have relevant implications for both the tourism and recreation sectors and for local policymakers who aim to promote walkability while managing tourist pedestrian flows.

description: We make predictions for ratios of branching fractions of $\bar B^0$ decays into $D^0$ and the scalar mesons $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, plus $\bar B^0_s$ decay into $D^0$ and $κ(800)$. We also compare the $π^+ π^-$ production in the scalar channel with that observed in the $ρ$ channel and make predictions for the $\bar B^0_s$ decay into $D^0$ and $K^*(892)$, comparing the strength of this channel with that of $κ(800)$ production. The work is based on results of the chiral unitary approach where the scalar resonances are generated from the pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar interaction. Up to an arbitrary normalization, the mass distributions and rates for decays into the scalar resonances are predicted with no free parameters. Comparison with experimental data is done when available.

description: We examine the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on emotional well-being and its relationship to habit and routine modifications in a sample of 584 participants aged 18-65 (Mage = 35.3; 75.3% females) on lockdown in Spain. Participants assessed their perceived changes in emotional well-being during the lockdown. They reported a perceived increase in negative affect and a perceived decrease in positive affect during this period, compared to before. Regarding habits and routines, there was an increase in media and social media consumption, home cleaning and tidying up, eating and sleeping, cooking and baking, reading, talking or doing activities with other people in the home, and handwashing. Increases in media and social media use, eating, and doing nothing were significantly associated with an increase in negative affect and a decrease in positive affect. Overall, the results highlight the importance that leisure activities have in determining emotional well-being during the lockdown.
