description: The following is an attempt to draw a loose frame around a cluster of disparate activities at Swarthmore College Libraries in order to explore what social justice in digital scholarship pedagogy can possibly mean. The questions at stake: Where can we find and make space in our professional practice as librarians to address injustice? How can we make that work legible, substantive, and important when that work takes place diffusely across a range of decisions, sites, and stakeholders? Given the privilege inherent to our context, how can we avoid being subsumed by trends in higher education and resist institutional virtue signaling? In considering these questions, I want to shift focus from digital projects whose content variously engage issues of injustice and inequity to highlight three sites of less defined activity: faculty training, student programs, and ad hoc collaborations.

description: Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods1,2. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance. So far, the angiosperm tree of life has been determined primarily by means of analyses of the plastid genome3,4. Many studies have drawn on this foundational work, such as classification and first insights into angiosperm diversification since their Mesozoic origins5,6,7. However, the limited and biased sampling of both taxa and genomes undermines confidence in the tree and its implications. Here, we build the tree of life for almost 8,000 (about 60%) angiosperm genera using a standardized set of 353 nuclear genes8. This 15-fold increase in genus-level sampling relative to comparable nuclear studies9 provides a critical test of earlier results and brings notable change to key groups, especially in rosids, while substantiating many previously predicted relationships. Scaling this tree to time using 200 fossils, we discovered that early angiosperm evolution was characterized by high gene tree conflict and explosive diversification, giving rise to more than 80% of extant angiosperm orders. Steady diversification ensued through the remaining Mesozoic Era until rates resurged in the Cenozoic Era, concurrent with decreasing global temperatures and tightly linked with gene tree conflict. Taken together, our extensive sampling combined with advanced phylogenomic methods shows the deep history and full complexity in the evolution of a megadiverse clade.

description: Recent advancements in materials science have shed light on the potential of exploring hierarchical assemblies of molecules on surfaces, driven by both fundamental and applicative challenges. This field encompasses diverse areas including molecular storage, drug delivery, catalysis, and nanoscale chemical reactions. In this context, the utilization of nanotube templates (NTs) has emerged as promising platforms for achieving advanced one-dimensional (1D) molecular assemblies. NTs offer cylindrical, crystalline structures with high aspect ratios, capable of hosting molecules both externally and internally (Mol@NT). Furthermore, NTs possess a wide array of available diameters, providing tunability for tailored assembly. This review underscores recent breakthroughs in the field of Mol@NT. The first part focuses on the diverse panorama of structural properties in Mol@NT synthesized in the last decade. The advances in understanding encapsulation, adsorption, and ordering mechanisms are detailed. In a second part, the review highlights the physical interactions and photophysics properties of Mol@NT obtained by the confinement of molecules and nanotubes in the van der Waals distance regime. The last part of the review describes potential applicative fields of these 1D heterostructures, providing specific examples in photovoltaics, luminescent materials, and bio-imaging. A conclusion gathers current challenges and perspectives of the field to foster discussion in related communities.

description: The two neutron star-black hole mergers (GW200105 and GW200115) observed in gravitational waves by advanced LIGO and Virgo, mark the first ever discovery of such binaries in nature. We study these two neutron star-black hole systems through isolated binary evolution, using a grid of population synthesis models. Using both mass and spin observations (chirp mass, effective spin and remnant spin) of the binaries, we probe their different possible formation channels in different metallicity environments. Our models only support LIGO data when assuming the black hole is non spinning. Our results show a strong preference that GW200105 and GW200115 formed from stars with sub-solar metallicities $Z\lesssim 0.005$. Only two metal-rich ($Z=0.02$) models are in agreement with GW200115. We also find that chirp mass and remnant spins jointly aid in constraining the models, whilst the effective spin parameter does not add any further information. We also present the observable (i.e. post selection effects) median values of spin and mass distribution from all our models, which maybe used as a reference for future mergers. Further, we show that the remnant spin parameter distribution exhibits distinguishable features in different neutron star-black hole sub-populations. We find that non-spinning, first born black holes dominate significantly the merging neutron star-black hole population, ensuring electromagnetic counterparts to such mergers a rare affair.

Decentralization and Regional Economic Performance in Morocco

Year: 2015
Subjects: Decentralization and regional performance in Morocco

description: The paper examines an important, although poorly investigated, issue in developing countries; that is the impact of decentralization on economic and social disparities across regions. It focuses on Morocco, uses different econometric methods and available data. Constrains on the latter allow considering the impacts of only two indicators of fiscal decentralization (i.e. regional current resources and regional investment resources) on three indicators of regional economic performance (i.e. unemployment rate, manufacturing value added and employment). We found evidence that regional current resources contribute to improving regional economic performance but not regional investment resources. One reason of the contrast might be that local councils are unable to use the whole amount of investment resources they get.

description: In this work we investigated the atomic relaxation in copper and silver substrates. The system surfaces are oriented following (100) and (110) directions. The relaxation and the bond length variation are only by the mutual atomic interaction. The all calculations are made at zero Kelvin in order to neglect the thermic vibration of the substrate atoms. The (100) surfaces are more compact than (110) ones, which is clearly observed in the inter-layer relaxation rate. On the other hand, the investigation of the adatom relaxation in the case of eterosystems (Cu/Ag) reveals that Cu adatom tends to penetrate through the surface which corresponds to the exchange process. In contrast, the Ag adatom on Cu surface attempts to be far from the surface giving a preferential occurrence to the jump process on the surface. This finding is confirmed by the binding strength or binding energy calculations where we have found (for (100) surface as example) that Cu-Ag is 2.30 and 2.09 eV for Cu/Ag and Ag/Cu, respectively.

description: We demonstrate ultra-sharp (${\lesssim}\,10\text{ nm}$) lateral $p\text{-}n$ junctions in graphene using electronic transport, scanning tunneling microscopy, and first principles calculations. The $p\text{-}n$ junction lies at the boundary between differentially-doped regions of a graphene sheet, where one side is intrinsic and the other is charge-doped by proximity to a flake of $α$-RuCl$_3$ across a thin insulating barrier. We extract the $p\text{-}n$ junction contribution to the device resistance to place bounds on the junction width. We achieve an ultra-sharp junction when the boundary between the intrinsic and doped regions is defined by a cleaved crystalline edge of $α$-RuCl$_3$ located 2 nm from the graphene. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy in heterostructures of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and $α$-RuCl$_3$ shows potential variations on a sub-10 nm length scale. First principles calculations reveal the charge-doping of graphene decays sharply over just nanometers from the edge of the $α$-RuCl$_3$ flake.

Feminists, geeks, and geek feminists: Understanding gender and power in technological activism
Creators: name: Dunbar-Hester, Christina
Publisher: name: Routledge
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Digital media
subject: Feminism

description: Both radio activism and gender advocacy within F/OSS illustrate how
technologies acquire political meanings within technical communities. In
examining these sites, we can observe how activists who are concerned with
expressing political beliefs do so through engagement with technologies. Geek
communities are important because they are situated between "downstream"
end-users of technology and "upstream" social groups like policy makers
and designers. "Geek" as a social identity is constructed around the formation of strong affective relationships with highly specialized pursuits
(including fan cultures, though in recent decades "geek" has a dominant
meaning related to technology, especially electronics, and computers). While
geek pursuits may sometimes appear idiosyncratic to those outside their communities, the significance of technologically oriented geeks is the interpretive
work they conduct. They mediate between those who build and regulate
technology and everyday users of technology. Geeks' interventions into the
politics of artifacts have a profound impact on how technology may be
built, enabled or constrained by policy, or taken up by those of us who are
not geeks.

description: The “Great Acceleration” beginning in the mid-20th century provides the causal mechanism of the Anthropocene, which has been proposed as a new epoch of geological time beginning in 1952 CE. Here we identify key parameters and their diagnostic palaeontological signals of the Anthropocene, including the rapid breakdown of discrete biogeographical ranges for marine and terrestrial species, rapid changes to ecologies resulting from climate change and ecological degradation, the spread of exotic foodstuffs beyond their ecological range, and the accumulation of reconfigured forest materials such as medium density fibreboard (MDF) all being symptoms of the Great Acceleration. We show: 1) how Anthropocene successions in North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, Europe, and Asia can be correlated using palaeontological signatures of highly invasive species and changes to ecologies that demonstrate the growing interconnectivity of human systems; 2) how the unique depositional settings of landfills may concentrate the remains of organisms far beyond their geographical range of environmental tolerance; and 3) how a range of settings may preserve a long-lived, unique palaeontological record within post-mid-20th century deposits. Collectively these changes provide a global palaeontological signature that is distinct from all past records of deep-time biotic change, including those of the Holocene.

description: In the early years of the 21st century, as free software communities matured, they began to recognize that their contributor bases were overwhelmingly composed of men. A 2006 European Union policy report revealed that fewer than 2% of free software practitioners were women, which catalyzed attention to these matters (Nafus, Leach, & Krieger, 2006). Many hackers decided that what Grenzfurthner & Schneider (2009) called the "classical nerd scheme", which has tended to favor men and elites, was insufficient to realize their goals (Dunbar-Hester, 2016; Eglash, 2002). With increasing urgency, groups formed to support individuals defined as "others" in open source and hacking. Significantly, the rough consensus and running code ethos that supported practitioners' self-organization around technical production was reoriented to hack their communities. These voluntaristic efforts to reconstitute open technology communities are the subject of this chapter.

description: Purpose: Follow-up protocols for patients with testicular cancer (TC) have significantly reduced the number of cross-sectional imaging studies to reduce radiation exposure. At present, it is unclear whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could replace conventional computerized tomography (CT) imaging. The objective of this study is to summarize the scientific evidence on this topic and to review guideline recommendations with regard to the use of MRI. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed searching Medline and Cochrane databases for prospective studies on patients with TC in the follow-up care (last search in February 2021). Additionally, guideline recommendations for TC were screened. Data extraction and quality assessment of included studies were performed and used for a descriptive presentation of results. Results A total of four studies including two ongoing trials were identified. Overall, the scientific evidence of prospective comparative studies is based on 102 patients. Data suggest that abdominal imaging with MRI can replace conventional CT for detection of lymph node metastasis of the retroperitoneum to spare radiation exposure and contrast media application. However, experienced radiologists are needed. Clinical guidelines are aware of the risk of diagnosis-induced secondary malignancy due to CT imaging and some have adapted their recommendations accordingly. Results: of the two ongoing trials on 738 patients are expected soon to provide more reliable results on this topic. Conclusions: There is growing evidence that abdominopelvic MRI imaging can replace CT imaging during follow-up of patients with TC in order to reduce radiation exposure and diagnosis-induced secondary malignancy.

Between Light and Darkness: An Analysis of Evil, Anguish and Faith in the Works of Ernesto Sabato
Creators: name: Vargas, Jose F Clavijo
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 470520
subject: Literature in Spanish and Portuguese

description: This dissertation explores the profound themes of evil, existential anguish, and faith in the narrative works of Argentine author Ernesto Sábato. Focusing on his trilogy—El túnel, Sobre héroes y tumbas, and Abaddón el exterminador—this study delves into the recurring motifs of violence, despair, and the metaphysical struggles faced by Sábato’s protagonists. The research presents a thematic analysis grounded in existential philosophy, religious studies, and psychoanalysis, engaging with critical theories such as Rudolf Otto’s Mysterium Tremendum and Mysterium Fascinans, as well as René Girard’s mimetic theory of desire and sacrifice. By examining the psychological and spiritual dimensions of Sábato’s characters, particularly their encounters with the numinous and the supernatural, this dissertation demonstrates how Sábato portrays the human condition as a constant tension between transcendence and destruction. Additionally, the work situates Sábato’s novels within the broader literary tradition of existentialism, drawing parallels to the works of Sartre, Camus, and Dostoevsky, while emphasizing Sábato’s unique synthesis of metaphysical and psychological concerns. Ultimately, this thesis aims to uncover how Sábato’s exploration of darkness and redemption reflects his broader philosophical inquiry into the nature of human suffering and the possibility of salvation in an increasingly secular world.

description: Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) with head-mounted displays (HMD) can be a promising tool for increasing adherence to exercise in older adults. However, there is little known about the effectiveness of an interactive multimodal therapy in VR for older chronic back pain (CBP) patients. The aim of the exploratory randomized controlled trial was to examine the preliminary effectiveness of a VR multimodal therapy for older adults with CBP in a laboratory setting over a period of four weeks. The intervention group (IG; n = 11) received a multimodal pain therapy in VR (movement therapy and psychoeducation) and the control group (CG; n = 11) received a conventional multimodal pain therapy (chair-based group exercises and psychoeducation in a group setting). Although the VR therapy (IG) did not reach the pain intensity reduction of the CG (IG: MD = 0.64, p = .535; CG: MD = 1.64, p = .07), both groups showed a reduction in pain intensity on the Numeric Rating Scale. The functional capacity in the IG improved from Visit 1 (x) over bar = 73.11% to Visit 2, (x) over bar = 81.82% (MD = 8.71%; p =.026). In the changes of fear avoidance beliefs and general physical and mental health, no significance was achieved in either group. Although the IG did not reach a significant pain intensity reduction compared to the CG, the results of the present study showed that a pain intensity reduction can be achieved with the current VR application.

description: Malaria-causing protozoa of the genus Plasmodium have exerted one of the strongest selective pressures on the human genome, and resistance alleles provide biomolecular footprints that outline the historical reach of these species1. Nevertheless, debate persists over when and how malaria parasites emerged as human pathogens and spread around the globe1,2. To address these questions, we generated high-coverage ancient mitochondrial and nuclear genome-wide data from P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae from 16 countries spanning around 5,500 years of human history. We identified P. vivax and P. falciparum across geographically disparate regions of Eurasia from as early as the fourth and first millennia bce, respectively; for P. vivax, this evidence pre-dates textual references by several millennia3. Genomic analysis supports distinct disease histories for P. falciparum and P. vivax in the Americas: similarities between now-eliminated European and peri-contact South American strains indicate that European colonizers were the source of American P. vivax, whereas the trans-Atlantic slave trade probably introduced P. falciparum into the Americas. Our data underscore the role of cross-cultural contacts in the dissemination of malaria, laying the biomolecular foundation for future palaeo-epidemiological research into the impact of Plasmodium parasites on human history. Finally, our unexpected discovery of P. falciparum in the high-altitude Himalayas provides a rare case study in which individual mobility can be inferred from infection status, adding to our knowledge of cross-cultural connectivity in the region nearly three millennia ago.

description: This chapter explores a case of activism to promote FM broadcasting in the USA at the turn of the millennium, using data drawn from a large ethnographic project. These radio activists provide a unique site for analysing new media adoption and resistance; as technologically savvy critics of Internet utopianism, they are not dismissible as mere 'Luddites' or nostalgic radio hobbyists. Though features of this case are unique within a national policy context, it offers wider lessons for thinking about electronic communication and the future of civic life. In particular, the radio activists give voice to often overlooked values in electronic communication, including alternatives to 'informational' discourses, an insistence on contextual knowledge with community accountability, and de-emphasis of commercialism and market values. The values they ascribe to FM radio have significance as material properties of this medium but even more so as metaphorical entailments applicable to other media.

description: We report on the implementation of a scanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometer in a dry dilution refrigerator. Using pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance combined with efficient microwave delivery through a co-planar waveguide, we reach a base temperature of 350 mK, limited by experimental heat load and thermalization of the probe. We demonstrate scanning NV magnetometry by imaging superconducting vortices in a 50-nm-thin aluminum microstructure. The sensitivity of our measurements is approximately 3 μT per square root Hz. Our work demonstrates the feasibility for performing non-invasive magnetic field imaging with scanning NV centers at sub-Kelvin temperatures.

description: Leehermania prorova Chatzimanolis et al., 2012   Figure 19A–F
DESCRIPTION: Small beetle (2.8 mm long, 0.8 mm wide, excluding terminalia) preserved in dorsal view; preservation excellent; part and counterpart. Head with eyes, mouthparts, and one antenna, pronotum, scutellum, elytra, and abdomen with terminalia preserved. Body elongate, covered in dense microsetae. Elytra rectangular, truncated, abdomen extending well beyond elytral apices. See Chatzimanolis et al. (2012) for a full description of this species.
MATERIAL: Illustration and description based on the holotype specimen, VMNH 49570. Fifty additional specimens are known: VMNH 49628, 49629, 50055, 50064, 50099, 50109, 50129, 50174, 50251, 50277, 51436, 51670, 51899, 53953, 54172, 54211, 90263, 90351, 91722, 93581, 93648, 94304, 94434, 94435, 94705, 94871, 94943, 94997, 95052, 95632, 95936, 96371, 96417, 96550, 96857, 97672, 97930, 98140, 98699, YPM IP 001147, 003131, 003146, 034677, 034689, 036447, 388866, 388885, 388907, 388914, and 527944.
 COMMENTS: There are 51 known specimens of Leehermania in the Solite material, all from the Cow Branch Formation. Morphotype 17 (fig. 20) is similar to this species in its shortened elytra and ringlike abdominal segments; however, differences in antennal shape indicate separate taxa. Leehermania was originally described as a staphylinid, but Fikáček et al. (2020) later suggested that the species belongs to an extinct lineage similar to modern Hydroscaphidae (Myxophaga) based on a number of characters, including ringlike abdominal segments lacking paratergites and compound eyes that do not protrude. Holotype specimen formerly published as VMNH 734 (Chatzimanolis et al., 2012).

description: The breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical event in the development of secondary brain injury after stroke. Among the cellular hallmarks in the acute phase after stroke are a downregulation of tight-junction molecules and the loss of microvascular pericyte coverage and endothelial sealing. Thus, a rapid repair of blood vessel integrity and re-stabilization of the BBB is considered an important strategy to reduce secondary brain damage. However, the mechanisms underlying BBB disruption remain poorly understood. Especially, the role of VEGF in this context remains inconclusive. With the conditional and reversible VEGF expression systems, we studied the time windows of deleterious and beneficial VEGF actions on blood vessel integrity in mice. Using genetic systems for gain of function and loss of function experiments, we activated and inhibited VEGF signaling prior and simultaneously to ischemic stroke onset. In both scenarios, VEGF seems to play a vital role in containing the stroke-induced damage after cerebral ischemia. We report that the transgenic overexpression of VEGF (GOF) prior to the stroke stabilizes the vasculature and prevents blood-brain barrier disruption in young and aged animals after stroke. Whereas inhibition of signals for endogenous VEGF (LOF) prior to stroke results in bigger infarction with massive brain swelling and enhanced BBB permeability, furthermore, activating or blocking VEGF signaling after ischemic stroke onset had comparable effects on BBB repair and cerebral edema. VEGF can function as an anti-permeability factor, and a VEGF-based therapy in the context of stroke prevention and recovery has an enormous potential.

description: Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm has been extremely successful for computing the ground states of one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. For problems concerned with mixed quantum states, however, it is less successful in that either such an algorithm does not exist yet or that it may return unphysical solutions. Here we propose a positive matrix product ansatz for mixed quantum states which preserves positivity by construction. More importantly, it allows to build a DMRG algorithm which, the same as the standard DMRG for ground states, iteratively reduces the global optimization problem to local ones of the same type, with the energy converging monotonically in principle. This algorithm is applied for computing both the equilibrium states and the non-equilibrium steady states, and its advantages are numerically demonstrated.
