description: Cette revue de littérature aborde la pathologie du cancer infantile et les différents impacts que celui-ci provoque sur le plan cognitif, organisationnel, émotionnel, physiologique et relationnel chez les parents. En effet, face au diagnostic du cancer de leur enfant, les parents se sentiront démunis et vont mobiliser des comportements liés à des stratégies de coping, pour affronter cet événement. Ce travail permet donc de découvrir quelles sont les stratégies mises en place par les parents face au cancer de leur enfant, et quelles sont les interventions que l’infirmière en collaboration avec les parents intègre dans sa pratique pour les favoriser et les faire émerger chez ces derniers.
title: The Career Image of Women in Selected Retailing Firms in Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Waits, Mary L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: "In essence, careers for women should not be any different from careers for men. Decisions with respect to gainful and satisfying employment for women should be made on the basis of occupational outlook and the demand for workers in the growth occupations as well as on individual interests and capabilities." (Careers For Women In The 70s , page 11).
In recent years, a great deal has been written and spoken about equal rights for women, with equal employment opportunities being in the forefront. The Women's Liberation Movement has in some way touched the lives of each individual within our society today.
According to Maltz (1967), the self-.image is the foundation stone of the whole personality. Thus, it becomes relevant that examination be made of the female's image of herself in order to properly and objectively look at how other members of society view the woman and her role in business. It would appear to be worthwhile to take a look at what women outside of those actively participating in the Liberation Movement are thinking about themselves, and about their responsibility for meeting the demands made upon workers, in general, in the labor market.
In this study, a review was made of the present image of female workers in retailing jobs in Cache County, Utah. Consideration was given not only to how the female views her opportunities for advancement on the job, but also to how she feels about herself and her relationship to others in the world of work.

description: We show that off-mass-shell effects arising from the internal structure of the proton provide a new proton polarization mechanism in the Lamb shift, proportional to the lepton mass to the fourth power. This effect is capable of resolving the current puzzle regarding the difference in the proton radius extracted from muonic compared with electronic hydrogen. These off-mass-shell effects could be probed in several other experiments.

Immunoproteasomes in microglial activation and inflammation
Creators: name: Pulgar Prieto, Katiuska Daniela
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Chronic neuroinflammation and aggregation of misfolded proteins, like tau or α-synuclein, are distinctive features of neurodegenerative disorders. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been shown to be directly involved in the degradation of aggregates, as well as in sustaining inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. Pro-inflammatory stimuli, such as cytokines, are known to upregulate proteasomal subunits which presumably lead to enhanced degradation. However, the exact role of the UPS in regulating inflammatory responses is not well understood. This MPhil project mainly focuses on the underlying mechanisms of the UPS in microglia, which are suspected to lead to chronic inflammation in neurodegenerative disorders. I am especially interested in the distinct functions of the standard (sP) versus the immuno- proteasome (iP) in regulating pro-inflammatory signaling in the NF-kB and c/EBPb pathways. I performed advanced fluorescence imaging on iPSC-derived microglia stimulated with TNF- α, IFN-γ or LPS. Intriguingly, my preliminary results in microglia suggested that both the sP and the iP are upregulated upon stimulation, with different localization patterns. This indicates that the sPs and iPs may carry out distinct roles in response to external stimuli. I further tested how proteasomes responded to aggregate stimuli in cell lines already established in our lab, and found that proteasomes accumulated around invading aggregates, forming foci in a cytoskeleton-dependent manner. The next stage of this research would be to study sPs and iPs in microglia differentiated from patient-derived iPSCs, and how their relative ratio and activities regulate distinct inflammatory pathways. Revealing the individual functions of the sPs versus the iPs will unveil novel targets for therapeutic intervention against overactive microglia.

description: The appearance of wireless communication is dramatically changing our life. Mobile telecommunications emerged as a technological marvel allowing for access to personal and other services, devices, computation and communication, in any place and at any time through effortless plug and play. Setting up wireless mobile networks often requires: Frequency Assignment, Communication Protocol selection, Routing schemes selection, and cells towers distributions. This research aims to optimize the cells towers distribution by using spatial mining with Geographic Information System (GIS) as a tool. The distribution optimization could be done by applying the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) on the image of the area which must be covered with two levels of hierarchy. The research will apply the spatial association rules technique on the second level to select the best square in the cell for placing the antenna. From that the proposal will try to minimize the number of installed towers, makes tower's location feasible, and provides full area coverage.

description: This contribution proposes a narrative approach to trust-building with regards to robots. This should serve as a complementary interpretation in order to find new ways of theorizing and studying the trust-building process. The first aim of the paper is to distinguish between already existing notions of trust-building in relation to robots. I provide an overview arguing that with respect to building trust, robots are currently conceptualized as agentic interaction partners, as artifacts in sociotechnical systems that can be altered based on novel engineering and design processes, and finally as a type of technology that can potentially disrupt existing normative and legal conventions. From this overview, this paper proposes the complementary approach based on a narrative conceptualization of robots. This conceptualization focuses on the way that robots capture the imagination of many, arguing that this is fruitful to take into account when theorizing and studying the process of building trust in robots. The paper then discusses how this conceptualization can be developed in interdisciplinary research in the social sciences by evaluating and analyzing future imaginaries, developing anticipatory concepts, and facilitating access to sociotechnical potential.

description: Les maladies du système veineux constituent un problème de santé publique majeur. Celles-ci sont parfois sous-estimées et engendrent des coûts élevés dans le système de santé. L’insuffisance veineuse touche une personne sur deux et peut se manifester différemment d'une personne à l'autre (Abbade et al., 2005). Elle débute par de simples varices ou oedèmes des membres inférieurs et peut évoluer jusqu’à des complications plus importantes tel que l'ulcère veineux. Il est estimé que 5 à 8% de la population manifeste des signes d’insuffisance veineuse sur les membres inférieurs et que 1% développe des ulcères veineux (De Araujo et al., 2013). En plus d’impacter sur toutes les sphères de la vie, les traitements d’ulcères veineux occasionnent des hospitalisations d’une vingtaine de jours coutant plus de 25’000 francs par patient (Noël, 2005). Les traitements sont longs et il existe un risque important de récurrence. Bien que les soignants soient présents dès le début de la prise en soins, il est primordial que les patients puissent réaliser leurs auto-soins de manière autonome. Probst et al. (2019), démontrent un manque de connaissances des patients concernant leurs auto-soins. Ils expliquent que 78 % des patients souffrent d’une récidive d’ulcère dans les trois ans suivant guérison.
Building Healthcare Navigation Skills Through a Health Literacy Program for Immigrants in Rural British Columbia
Creators: name: Al-Roubaiai, Fatima
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: Canada welcomes over 300,000 immigrants each year with plans to increase this to 500,000 immigrants by 2025. Newcomers to Canada will require health services to maintain their health and well-being. There is a scarcity of existing research on programs that address the barriers immigrants face when accessing health services in small urban and rural communities and what potential interventions may address those barriers. Objectives: A mixed-methods study was conducted in two phases. The purpose of Phase 1 was to discover the health information needs of immigrants living in small urban and rural communities in the southern interior of British Columbia and to develop a workshop to help address those needs. Phase 2 aimed to deliver and evaluate the impact of The Staying Healthy Workshop Series, a health literacy (HL) program to build knowledge in navigating and accessing health services. Methods: In Phase 1, through convenience sampling, service providers and immigrant clients were recruited to contribute to the development of a HL program by sharing what was important to them when it comes to healthcare. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to analyze data collected. In Phase 2, a pilot of the HL program was delivered and evaluated with 16 participants through an English-language class. The reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) framework was used to design a mixed-methods evaluation of the program. Results: The program was promoted to clients of South Okanagan Immigrant and Community Services in British Columbia. Participants rated the modules of the series positively for understanding and satisfaction, with the mental health module being rated highest. Successful implementation of the program required organization-level support from facilitators and leadership. The early involvement of clients and service providers was an enabler for implementation. Scale-up and sustainability would be potential future opportunities to explore. Conclusion: Partnerships with community organizations to deliver HL programs introducing Canadian healthcare to immigrants living in small urban and rural communities in BC is a valuable approach to enhancing access to health services, particularly for those learning English as a second language.

description: This thesis is concerned with disturbance amplification in interconnected systems which may consist of a large number of elements. The main focus is on passive control of a chain of interconnected masses where a single point is subject to an external disturbance. The problem arises in the design of multi-storey buildings subjected to earthquake disturbances, but applies in other situations such as bidirectional control of vehicle platoons. It is shown that the scalar transfer functions from the disturbance to a given intermass displacement can be represented as a complex iterative map. This description is used to establish uniform boundedness of the $\mathcal{H}_\infty$-norm of these transfer functions for certain choices of interconnection impedance. A graphical method for selecting an impedance such that the $\mathcal{H}_\infty$-norm is no greater than a prescribed value for an arbitrary length of the mass chain is given. A design methodology for a fixed length of the mass chain is also provided. A case study for a 10-storey building model demonstrates the validity of this method.

description: La maltraitance envers les personnes âgées constitue un sujet d’actualité, surtout avec le vieillissement de la population qui touche la société suisse et l’augmentation du nombre des personnes atteintes de démence. « En Suisse, près de 300'000 personnes âgées sont victimes de violences. Cette maltraitance est surtout commise à la maison […] » (RTS, Le Journal, avril 2018).Les manifestations de la démence peuvent représenter une charge importante pour les proches aidants vivant à domicile avec des personnes âgées atteintes de cette pathologie. Le manque de soutien et l’épuisement augmentent le risque de maltraitance. Malheureusement, ce phénomène est souvent minimisé lors qu’il apparait à domicile. Selon Roulet Schwab et Rivoir, (2011) « Le signalement de maltraitances de personnes âgées reste par ailleurs très rare. La police, la justice, les centres LAVI (centres d’aide aux victimes), les consultations de médecine des violences et la permanence téléphonique de l’association Alter Ego reçoivent très peu de plaintes et de demandes concernant ce type de situations ». Ce pourquoi nous avons décidé de nous pencher sur l’exploration du rôle infirmier dans l’accompagnent de proches aidants des aînés atteints de démence, dans le contexte des soins à domicile.
Effective deep leaning methodologies for salient object detection
Creators: name: Ren, Guangyu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Salient object detection has achieved great improvement by using deep neural networks. Diverse challenging problems arise from this computer vision task and attract more attention from researchers. This thesis investigates the issues in specific tasks and aims at proposing effective methodologies to tackle the problems and improve detection performance. More specifically, existing network architectures may cause dilution problems in highlevel semantic information during up-sample operations in the top-down pathway of the Feature Pyramid Network (FPN). In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a novel pyramid self-attention module (PSAM) and the adoption of an independent feature-complementing strategy. In addition, a channel-wise attention module is also employed to reduce redundant features of the feature pyramid network and provide refined results. Introducing depth information in a suboptimal fusion strategy may have a negative influence on the performance of SOD. We discuss the advantages of the so-called progressive multi-scale fusion method and propose a mask-guided feature aggregation module (MGFA). We also introduce a mask-guided refinement module (MGRM) to complement the high-level semantic features and reduce the irrelevant features from multi-scale fusion, leading to an overall refinement of detection. RGB-D methods sacrifice the model size to improve the detection accuracy, which may impede the practical application of SOD problems. To tackle this dilemma, we propose a dynamic distillation method along with simple noise elimination. To this end, the final model can significantly reduce the computational burden while maintaining the validity and mitigating the impact of distorted training data caused by low-quality depth maps. Furthermore, in cosaliency detection, we propose a novel adaptive intra-group aggregation (AIGA) method to model the relationship between individual feature representation in a single image and group feature representation. This proposed AIGA can effectively improve the performance without increasing extra network parameters.

description: Semi-analytic models (SAMs) are currently one of the primary tools with which to model statistically significant ensembles of galaxies. The underlying physical prescriptions inherent to each SAM are, in many cases, different from one another. Several SAMs have been applied to the dark matter merger trees extracted from the Millennium Run, including those associated with the well-known Munich and Durham lineages. We compare the predicted luminosity distributions of galaxy groups using four publicly available SAMs (De Lucia et al. 2006; Bower et al. 2006; Bertone et al. 2007; Font et al. 2008), in order to explore a galactic environment in which the models have not been explored to the same degree as they have in the field or in rich clusters. We identify a characteristic "wiggle" in the group galaxy luminosity function generated using the De Lucia et al. (2006) SAM, that is not present in the Durham-based models, consistent to some degree with observations. However, a comparison between conditional luminosity functions of groups between the models and observations of Yang et al. (2007) suggest that neither model is a particularly good match. The luminosity function wiggle is interpreted as the result of the two-mode AGN feedback implementation used in the Munich models, which itself results in flattened magnitude gap distribution. An associated analysis of the magnitude gap distribution between first- and second-ranked group galaxies shows that while the Durham models yield distributions with approximately equal luminosity first- and second-ranked galaxies, in agreement with observations, the De Lucia et al. models favours the scenario in which the second-ranked galaxy is approximately one magnitude fainter than the primary,especially when the dynamic range of the mock data is limited to 3 magnitudes.

Single-molecule RNA remodelling by the DExH-box 34 helicase
Creators: name: Poudevigne-Durance, Paul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: RNA helicases are the largest group of RNA interacting proteins in eukaryotes and are a vital mediator to the mRNA pathway. A key mediatory step in the mRNA pathway is the swift removal of mRNA possessing a premature termination codon (PTC). This is performed to prevent the formation of C-terminus truncated proteins which may have detrimental effects on the cell. The breakdown of PTC containing mRNA is performed by the nonsense mediated decay (NMD) pathway. Failures in this pathway can lead to many developmental issues and life-long conditions. One of the RNA helicases involved in this pathway is the DEAH-box 34 RNA helicase (DHX34). DHX34 has been shown to be key to the recruitment of SMG1 to UPF1, two key proteins in the NMD complex formation at the core of the PTC containing mRNA breakdown, and the subsequent phosphorylation of UPF1 to induce this mRNA decay. Although its role in the NMD pathway has been shown, and conditions have been linked to mutation in DHX34, its molecular mechanism and RNA remodelling activity are unknown. In this thesis, I use the optical tweezers single-molecule force-spectroscopy approach to investigate the interaction of DHX34 with RNA. I begin by designing and testing a novel assay to function within the optical tweezers and experimental requirements of this thesis. Next, I investigate DHX34’s ability to remodel duplex RNA through processive remodelling utilising a force-clamp assay. Here I demonstrate, through a lack of unwinding, that DHX34 is unlikely to be processive, but observe the remodelling of the hairpin beyond the immediate site of tension. Finally, I redesign the experimental approach to assess the remodelling activity of non-processive helicases using optical tweezers, achieved by introducing force-driven unfolding steps with the protein presence. This redesign, and the collected results, suggests that DHX34 preferentially binds ssRNA and most likely 5 maintains this through ATP turnover, and indicates an intermediate state to the currently recognised RNA helicase molecular mechanism pathway.
IDENTIFYING THE MYTHS, BARRIERS, AND FACILITATORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT REPORTING
Creators: name: Toyetta Lynn Beukes

Year: 2015

description: Sexual assault has existed for thousands of years. Social consequences of not reporting include no justice for victims and allowing perpetrators to reoffend. Yet less than 36% of victims report their sexual assaults to law enforcement. The project’s aim was to create awareness of the myths, barriers, and facilitators of sexual assault reporting to law enforcement. An educational tool, Sexual Assault Reporting: Guide for First Responders, was created, validated by an expert panel, and then tested with law enforcement officers for effect on rape myth acceptance. Phase one involved a pretest with demographic, personal, and work-related questions and the 22- item Updated Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA). Phase two involved an educational training with the brochure and a posttest, using a modified version of the Updated IRMA to evaluate the effectiveness of the training and brochure. Despite overall average Updated IRMA score increase (less rape myth acceptance at posttest), MANOVA analysis revealed no significant difference in mean scores (pre to posttest) for 19 officers who took both. Two items specific to drinking and victim appearance, extremely common rape myth stereotypes, showed average increased scores of almost 1, indicating more rejection of these rape myths at post-test. Overall, in this small evaluation of the pamphlet, results were encouraging and demonstrated that the educational training using the brochure, Sexual Assault Reporting: Guide for First Responders, may lead to increased rape myth rejection. Further evaluations with larger samples, especially of wider geographic nature, are warranted.

description: An information theoretic perspective on group testing problems has recently been proposed by Atia and Saligrama, in order to characterise the optimal number of tests. Their results hold in the noiseless case, where only false positives occur, and where only false negatives occur. We extend their results to a model containing both false positives and false negatives, developing simple information theoretic bounds on the number of tests required. Based on these bounds, we obtain an improved order of convergence in the case of false negatives only. Since these results are based on (computationally infeasible) joint typicality decoding, we propose a belief propagation algorithm for the detection of defective items and compare its actual performance to the theoretical bounds.

SOP for pre-acquisition normalisation of urine via specific gravity
Creators: name: Biomarker Analytical Laboratories
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Compared to other human matrices, urine is advantageous because it can be easily collected in large volumes, non-invasively. However, intra-and inter-individual urine volume and solute concentration varies greatly (>15-fold) in relation to dietary, hormonal, physiological and behavioural factors. This high variation biases full-scan mass spectrometry (MS) profiling methods due to different urine concentrations analysed. As such, to enable generation of comparative data requires pre-acquisition normalisation i.e. before MS analysis. Described here is specific gravity normalisation, which has been favoured because it is independent of other chemical measures (e.g. creatinine) and easy for routine measurement (compared to osmolality).

Although the geometric phase itself vanishes at the multi-critical point, the derivative with respect to the anisotropy parameter of the model shows peaks at different points on the ferromagnetic side close to it where the energy gap is a local minimum; we call these points `quasi-critical'. The value of the derivative at any quasi-critical point scales with the system size in a power-law fashion with the exponent varying continuously with the parameter $α$ that defines a path, upto a critical value $α= α_{c}=2$. For $α> α_{c}$, or on the paramagnetic side no such peak is observed. Numerically obtained results are in perfect agreement with analytical predictions.

description: For millennia, wool constituted a significant component of Mesopotamian economies. It was a measure of currency and was collected as tax. As a commodity, the production of wool affected labor relations, gender dynamics and other sectors of socio-economic life. Especially in the third millennium, the transition from flax to wool resulted in the organization of many institutional workshops, and textiles were produced in very high quantities. Therefore, as bearers of the wool, sheep were fundamental agents in Mesopotamian life. For instance, in Ebla, a third millennium city-state in Upper Mesopotamia, some herds reached 67,000 heads. In Presargonic Nabada (Tell Beydar), a single shepherd managed a herd of up to 300 sheep – an indication of grand number of animals.

The sheep was also a mobile agent and its movement between the settlement and open pasture was frequent. In fact, the archaeology of the mid-to-late Early Bronze Age Upper Mesopotamia provides ample evidence for the impact of herd movement on the landscape. Aerial and satellite imagery reveal ancient paths radiating from EBA settlements that terminate after several kilometers. It has been hypothesized that the controlled and constant movement of herds heavily contributed to the formation of route systems (also called hollow-ways).

This study presents the results of conducts a multi-spectral satellite data analysis of hollow-ways and models the soil compaction, vegetation productivity, and moisture retention capacities of modern soils as proxy variables for the impact of animal movement. The model highlights spectral differences between different roads and differentiates between potential traffic variations. In turn, in the absence of archaeological and epigraphical data, the variation map indicates detects sub-regions of Upper Mesopotamia with higher pastoral activities.

description: We performed the conductance and the shot noise measurements in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The visibility of the interference is investigated as a function of the electron temperature that is derived from the thermal noise of the interferometer. The non-equilibrium noise displays both h/e and h/2e oscillations vs. the modulation gate voltage.

description: Nostalgia is defined as a reconstruction of important representational memories in the present. The present study aimed to investigate the process of objectification of nostalgic memories, and, also, the effects of gender, age/ generation, country of residence, and rate of occurrence of nostalgic memories. It draws on data from a sample of 226 female and male Greek natives and immigrants residing in Germany. The participants belonged to three different generations (young adults/children, adults/parents, elders/grandparents). They completed an open-ended questionnaire on nostalgic experiences, the associated reasons and elicited emotions. They also responded to the Southampton Nostalgia Scale measuring proneness to nostalgia. The results showed that nostalgic memories involved interactions with significant others, first-time experiences, places, periods of one’s life, and important events that contributed to the person’s identity formation (reasons). The elicited emotions were both positive and negative. Correspondence analysis showed that nostalgic memories were associated with participants’ immigration status (native/ immigrant) and generation. Immigrants and elderly participants were more sensitive to the nostalgic process. The implications of the study are discussed in terms of social representations of nostalgic memories and their interaction with identity dimensions.

description: In this talk, Francesca Rossi presents the main issues around AI ethics, the impact of this technology on our lives, and describes some of the approaches used to address them. AI is going to bring huge benefits in terms of scientific progress, human wellbeing, economic value, and the possibility of finding solutions to major social and environmental problems. However, such a powerful technology also raises some legitimate concerns, related for example to the black-box nature of some AI approaches, the possible discriminatory decisions that AI algorithms may recommend, the accountability and responsibility when an AI system is involved in an undesirable outcome, the usage of data, the generation of false but plausible content, and the use or generation of copyrighted material. With its current capabilities, AI is having a rapid and profound impact on many human activities, including creative ones, as well as on education. Without adequate and responsible answers to these challenges, many will not trust AI, and therefore will not fully adopt it nor get its positive impact, while others will use it in an unsafe way.

Expressiveness

description: We propose novel graph transformations that allow standard message passing to achieve state-of-the-art expressiveness and predictive performance. Message passing graph neural networks are known to have limited expressiveness in distinguishing graphs. To mitigate this, one can either change message passing or modify the graphs. Changing message passing is powerful but requires significant changes to existing implementations and cannot easily be combined with other approaches. Modifying the graph requires no changes to the learning algorithm and works directly with off-the-shelf implementations. In this paper, we propose novel graph transformations and compare them to the state-of-the-art. We prove that they are at least as expressive as corresponding message passing algorithms when combined with the Weisfeiler-Leman test or a sufficiently powerful graph neural network. Furthermore, we empirically demonstrate that these transformations lead to competitive results on molecular graph datasets.

Near-field interactions and non-universality in speckle patterns produced by a point source in a disordered medium

description: A point source in a disordered scattering medium generates a speckle pattern with non-universal features, giving rise to the so-called C_0 correlation. We analyze theoretically the relationship between the C_0 correlation and the statistical fluctuations of the local density of states, based on simple arguments of energy conservation. This derivation leads to a clear physical interpretation of the C_0 correlation. Using exact numerical simulations, we show that C_0 is essentially a correlation resulting from near-field interactions. These interactions are responsible for the non-universality of C_0, that confers to this correlation a huge potential for sensing and imaging at the subwavelength scale in complex media.
On deformations of quasi-Miura transformations and the Dubrovin-Zhang bracket

description: In our recent paper we proved the polynomiality of a Poisson bracket for a class of infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems of PDE's associated to semi-simple Frobenius structures. In the conformal (homogeneous) case, these systems are exactly the hierarchies of Dubrovin-Zhang, and the bracket is the first Poisson structure of their hierarchy. Our approach was based on a very involved computation of a deformation formula for the bracket with respect to the Givental-Y.-P. Lee Lie algebra action. In this paper, we discuss the structure of that deformation formula. In particular, we reprove it using a deformation formula for weak quasi-Miura transformation that relates our hierarchy of PDE's with its dispersionless limit.

Leading twist shadowing, black disk regime and forward hadron production
Creators: name: Strikman, Mark

description: We review theory of the leading twist nuclear shadowing, and describe phenomenon of post-selection suppression of leading parton spectrum (effective fractional energy losses) in the proximity of the black disk regime. We argue that $2 \to 2$ mechanism dominates in the inclusive leading pion production in d-Au collisions and explain that the post-selection naturally explains both the magnitude of the suppression of the forward pion production in d-Au collisions and the pattern of the forward - central correlations. At the same time this pattern of correlations rules out $2\to 1$ mechanism as the main source of the inclusive leading pion yield. It is demonstrated that the mechanism of the double parton interactions gives an important contribution to the production of two leading pions in $pp$ scattering opening a new way to study correlations of leading quarks in the nucleon. The same mechanism is enhanced in $dAu \to π^0π^0 +X$ collisions and explains the dominance of $Δϕ$ independent component and suppression of the away side peak.
