description: We aimed to examine whether demographic characteristics (i.e., sex, age and education) correlate with total scores of the Czech version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), understand the factorial structure of this scale, compare our results with findings of studies conducted in other countries and provide preliminary normative data for use in clinical practice. Data of 450 participants were analysed using correlation analysis, non-parametric tests and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Women, and participants with lower education, tended to score higher than men, and participants with higher education. There was no significant relationship between age and total scores. CFA confirmed two factors: cognitive-affective and somatic. Czech participants scored lower than participants in other studies. Preliminary normative data are presented in the form of percentile values for the whole sample and stratified according to gender and education level. We recommend the usage of the BDI-II total score while taking into account also the cognitive-affective and somatic factor subscores. The comparison of our results with other foreign findings shows the need for the development of locally specific normative values for self-reported depression scales.KEY POINTSWomen scored higher in the BDI-II than men.Participants with lower education scored higher in the BDI-II than participants with higher education.CFA confirmed two factors: cognitive-affective and somatic.Preliminary normative data for the Czech version of the BDI-II are stratified according to gender and education.

description: The consistency of the Shannon entropy, when applied to outcomes of quantum experiments, is analysed. It is shown that the Shannon entropy is fully consistent and its properties are never violated in quantum settings, but attention must be paid to logical and experimental contexts. This last remark is shown to apply regardless of the quantum or classical nature of the experiments.

description: The relation between tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) and spin polarization is explored for GaMnAs/GaAlAs/GaMnAs structures where the carriers experience strong spin-orbit interactions. TMR is calculated using Landauer approach. The materials are described in the 6 band $\bf {k}\cdot \bf{p}$ model which includes spin orbit interaction. Ferromagnetism is described in the virtual crystal mean field approximations. Our results indicate that TMR is a function of of spin polarization and barrier thickness. As a result of the stong spin orbit interactions, TMR also depends on the the angle between current flow direction and the electrode magnetization. These results compromise the validity of Julliere formula.

A semiclassical variational approximation and an independent quantum variational numerical method are used to calculate the energies (chemical potentials) and linewidths of resonances of the time-independent Gross-Pitaevskii equation; both methods produce similar results. Borders between the regimes of resonances, bound states, and, in two and three dimensions, collapse, are identified.

description: Periodic structures consisting of alternating layers of positive index and negative index materials possess a novel band gap at the frequency at which the average refractive index is zero. We show that in the presence of a Kerr nonlinearity, this zero-n gap can switch from low transmission to a perfectly transmitting state, forming a nonlinear resonance or gap soliton in the process. This zero-n gap soliton is omnidirectional in contrast to the usual Bragg gap soliton of positive index periodic structures

description: Functional recovery has garnered increasing attention in the literature on bipolar disorder (BD), but is still a challenge for most interventions. Additionally, the impact of modifiable and non-modifiable factors on individual functioning is still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of modifiable (mood, cognitive reserve, cognitive performance) and non-modifiable factors (diagnosis, suicide attempts, substance use, age) on self-reported functioning in BD. 103 adults with no mood disorders and 95 individuals with BD completed the WHODAS 2.0, in addition to a neuropsychological battery and diagnostic assessments. Path analysis was then used to analyse the relationships between modifiable and non-modifiable predictors of functioning in the sample. Cognitive reserve and age had an indirect influence on individual functioning, mediated by cognitive performance. The influence of diagnosis and depressive symptoms on functioning was partly direct, and partly mediated by cognition. The presence of psychiatric comorbidities in addition to BD also had a significant influence on individual functioning. Initiatives focussed on modifiable factors such as depressive symptoms and cognitively stimulating activities, which increase cognitive reserve, may be a useful complement to existing treatments and help patients achieve functional recovery.KEY POINTSIndividual functioning was influenced by cognitive performance, cognitive reserve, age, diagnosis and depressive symptoms.Executive functioning mediated the influence of age and cognitive reserve on individual functioning.Interventions focussed on depressive symptoms and cognitive stimulation may help patients achieve functional recovery.

This method is a combination of machine learning from data (to extract stochastic differential equations as models) and stochastic dynamics (to quantify dynamical behaviors with deterministic tools). The goal is to learn and understand stochastic dynamics based on data. This method is applicable to sample path data collected from complex systems, as long as these systems can be modeled as stochastic differential equations.

description: We study the effect of mesoscopic fluctuations on the magnitude of errors that can occur in exchange operations on quantum dot spin-qubits. Mid-size double quantum dots, with an odd number of electrons in the range of a few tens in each dot, are investigated through the constant interaction model using realistic parameters. It is found that the constraint of having short pulses and small errors implies keeping accurate control, at the few percent level, of several electrode voltages. In practice, the number of independent parameters per dot that one should tune depends on the configuration and ranges from one to four.

description: We measure Malmquist index of total factor productivity (TFP) changes in the agricultural sector of Brazil and Argentina during 1971-2002. The TFP change index is further decomposed into efficiency change and technical change. We then compare the cumulative TFP growth and its components in both countries. Results show that agricultural TFP change as well as efficiency and technical change accelerated in Brazilian agriculture, where as Argentinean agriculture experienced a negative trend in TFP growth over the sample period. Efficiency change in Argentina’s agriculture was found to be stagnant over time. The increasing productivity in Brazil is due to strong policy reform in 1980s. Argentina’s imbalanced economy, including biased reforms explains the negative TFP growth and technical regress during this period.

description: We report the results of measurements of the dc magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and of the 23Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) response of NaVGe2O6, a material in which the V ions form a network of interacting one-dimensional spin S=1 chains. The experiments were made at temperatures between 2.5 and 300 K. The chi(T) data suggest that the formation of the expected low-temperature Haldane phase is intercepted by an antiferromagnetic phase transition at 18 K. The transition is also reflected in the 23Na NMR spectra and the corresponding spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1(T). In the ordered phase, 1/T1(T) decreases by orders of magnitude with decreasing temperature, indicating the formation of a gap of the order of 12 K in the magnetic excitation spectrum.

description: A high share of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation in low-voltage networks may lead to over-voltage, and line/transformer overloading. To mitigate these issues, we investigate how advanced electricity tariffs could ensure safe grid operation hile enabling building owners to recover their investment in a PV and storage system. We show that dynamic volumetric electricity prices trigger economic opportunities for large investments in PV and battery capacity but lead to more pressure on the grid while capacity and block rate tariffs mitigate over-voltage and decrease line loading issues. However, block rate tariffs significantly decrease the optimal PV installation size.

description: We estimate a distance function of grains production using generalized method of moments that enables us to accommodate multiple outputs of farmers as well as address the endogeneity issues that are related with the use of distance functions for multi-output production. Using a panel data set of Ethiopian subsistence farmers, we find that the most important factors determining farmers' efficiency in Ethiopia are having access to the public extension system, participation in off-farm activities, participation in labor sharing arrangements, gender of the household head, and the extent to which farmers are forced to produce on marginal and steeply sloped plots. Average farmers in Ethiopia are producing less than 60% of the most efficient farmers. Annual technical change between 1999 and 2004 is about one percent while annual efficiency change during the same period is insignificant.

Rough hypersoft set

description: Hypersoft set is the generalization of soft set as it replaces single set of distinct attributes with their corresponding disjoint attribute valued sets. This makes the hypersoft set more effective and useful parameterized tool to tackle vague information. Rough soft set, the combination of rough set and soft set, is studied by many researchers to undertake imperfect knowledge through lower and upper approximations. But it is inadequate to deal with disjoint attribute valued sets. In this study, this meagerness is addressed and rough hypersoft set is conceptualized with the development of its lower and upper approximations. Moreover, some of its elementary properties and results are discussed. A new algorithm is proposed to solve decision making problems and is demonstrated with illustrative examples.

description: This study examines the role of price competitiveness and foreign activity in Ghana’s export performance. Using an augmented VAR model in conjunction with modified Wald tests, causal relationships are tested between real effective exchange rates, foreign GDP and both total and agricultural export volumes. The results show that improvements in price competitiveness have been the principal driver of total export volumes. However, none of the traditional factors of export performance have had a significant effect on agricultural exports. In addition, using a VAR-MGARCH-in-mean model, we found that third-country exchange rates volatility have negatively affected Ghana’s export growth. These results confirm the effectiveness of Ghana’s market-oriented policies that started with the inception of the economic recovery program in 1983 but call for more policy efforts to offset the adverse impact of exchange rates volatility on the export sector.

description: Neuroimaging-driven prediction of brain age, defined as the predicted biological age of a subject using only brain imaging data, is an exciting avenue of research. In this work we seek to build models of brain age based on functional connectivity while prioritizing model interpretability and understanding. This way, the models serve to both provide accurate estimates of brain age as well as allow us to investigate changes in functional connectivity which occur during the ageing process. The methods proposed in this work consist of a two-step procedure: first, linear latent variable models, such as PCA and its extensions, are employed to learn reproducible functional connectivity networks present across a cohort of subjects. The activity within each network is subsequently employed as a feature in a linear regression model to predict brain age. The proposed framework is employed on the data from the CamCAN repository and the inferred brain age models are further demonstrated to generalize using data from two open-access repositories: the Human Connectome Project and the ATR Wide-Age-Range.

description: In this paper, we study the classical limit and unitary evolution of quantum cosmology by applying the Weyl--Wigner--Groenewold--Moyal formalism of deformation quantization to quantum cosmology of a homogeneous and isotropic universe with positive spatial curvature and conformally coupled scalar field. The corresponding quantum cosmology (similar to the Schrödinger interpretation in canonical quantization scheme of quantum cosmology) is described by the Moyal--Wheeler--DeWitt equation which has an exact solution in Moyal phase space, resulting in Wigner quasiprobability distribution function, peaking over the classical solutions. We show that for a large value of the quantum number $n$, the emerged classical universe is filled with radiation with quantum mechanical origin. Also, we introduce a canonical transformation on the scalar field sector of the model such that the conjugate momenta of the new canonical variable appear linearly in the transformed total Hamiltonian. Using this canonical transformation, we show that, it may lead to disentangle the time from the true dynamical variables. We obtain the time-dependent Wigner function for a coherent as well as for squeezed states. We show that the peak of these Wigner functions follows the classical trajectory in the phase space.

description: We prove that there is no algorithm to tell whether an arbitrarily constructed Quantum Turing Machine has same time steps for different branches of computation. We, hence, can not avoid the notion of halting to be probabilistic in Quantum Turing Machine. Our result suggests that halting scheme of Quantum Turing Machine and quantum complexity theory based upon the existing halting scheme sholud be reexamined.

Quantum Lissajous Scars

description: A quantum scar - an enhancement of a quantum probability density in the vicinity of a classical periodic orbit - is a fundamental phenomenon connecting quantum and classical mechanics. Here we demonstrate that some of the eigenstates of the perturbed two-dimensional anisotropic (elliptic) harmonic oscillator are strongly scarred by the Lissajous orbits of the unperturbed classical counterpart. In particular, we show that the occurrence and geometry of these quantum Lissajous scars are connected to the anisotropy of the harmonic confinement, but unlike the classical Lissajous orbits the scars survive under a small perturbation of the potential. This Lissajous scarring is caused by the combined effect of the quantum (near) degeneracies in the unperturbed system and the localized character of the perturbation. Furthermore, we discuss experimental schemes to observe this perturbation-induced scarring.

Two-mode entanglement in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We study the generation of two-mode entanglement in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in a double-well potential. By applying the Holstein-Primakoff transformation, we show that the problem is exactly solvable as long as the number of excitations due to atom-atom interactions remains low. In particular, the condensate constitutes a symmetric Gaussian system, thereby enabling its entanglement of formation to be measured directly by the fluctuations in the quadratures of the two constituent components [Giedke {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91}, 107901 (2003)]. We discover that significant two-mode squeezing occurs in the condensate if the interspecies interaction is sufficiently strong, which leads to strong entanglement between the two components.

 Sardinia. I 1172, 1 ♂ (Coll. RG).
 DISTRIBUTION. — West Palaearctic. Central and Southern Europe, Turkey, few ascertained records probably due to previous confusion with A. distans (K. Viets, 1914). First records from the area covered; new for Italy.
HABITAT. — Rhithrobiont, in Corsica crenophilous. Nearly exclusively in springs, often at high altitude, in the area covered from 250 to 1400 m.
REMARKS
 This species, confused over long time with A. distans (see Gerecke 2003), has been recently discovered in many parts of the Western Palaearctic. Some specimens from Corsica and Sardinia combine rather large glandularia with extended coxal borders of secondary sclerotization. In these cases, also Vgl-1+2 which are typically separate in this species may fuse, but the origin from two separate platelets remains always visible due to an irregular indented border line.

description: Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures ---formed by stacking or growing two-dimensional (2D) crystals on top of each other--- have emerged as a new promising route to tailor and engineer the properties of 2D materials. Twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG), a simple vdW structure where the interference between two misaligned graphene lattices leads to the formation of a moiré pattern, is a test bed to study the effects of the interaction and misalignment between layers, key players for determining the electronic properties of these stackings. In this chapter, we present in a pedagogical way the general theory used to describe lattice mismatched and misaligned vdW structures. We apply it to the study of tBLG in the limit of small rotations and see how the coupling between the two layers leads both to an angle dependent renormalization of graphene's Fermi velocity and appearance of low-energy van Hove singularities. The optical response of this system is then addressed by computing the optical conductivity and the dispersion relation of tBLG surface plasmon-polaritons.

description: This research was conceptualized to investigate the potential impact of contracts on the sustainability of the bottled tawilis supply chain, i.e. sustainability in terms of environmental protection, well-being of the people whose livelihood depends on tawilis production, processing and marketing; and enhanced economic gains from the chain. A survey amongst fishermen, middlemen and processors was performed in the lake Taal area. The study concludes that formal contracts, with specific demands to gear used and the handling of fish, may stimulate the catch of minimum and uniform sized fish. Such contracts may also stimulate delivery of higher quality fish by fishermen. These contracts thereby enhance sustainable fishing and increase in fishermen’s income. Direct (win-win) contracts between processors and fishermen seem to be the best way to stimulate delivery of sustainably catched fish. Government should strongly increase enforcement of sustainable fishing practices and stimulate contracting for sustainable fishing in this chain.
