description: In Economía Feminista we try to get the feminist perspective in usual male dominated areas as Politics and economics. Through the use of simple spreadsheet born interactive and digital projects we did just that with minimum resources: A crowdsourced database to pre-whip / figure out congress votes on legal abortion, a twitter bot that shows the lack of women in op-ed every day, an automated scrapper to monitor menstruation "cost", a feminist index for candidates for 2019 election and other small feminist nerd projects

description: Addressing the sustainability challenges in agrifood and forestry systems requires a
 holistic and systemic approach and a wide range of competences. Competences for
 sustainable development cannot simply be taught but must be trained, which requires
 an action-based and -oriented education. There are certain knowledge gaps in
 sustainability education, and these are mainly pertaining to A) learning outcomes and
 competence development and B) what the change to action learning entails and
 requires. The major objective of the Nextfood project’s work packages (WPs) 2 and 3
 is to support a transition towards action learning in twelve diverse educational cases
 and to contribute to closing these knowledge gaps by conducting action research on
 their change process. The Nextfood educational model is a phenomenon-based and
 action-oriented approach to cultivating five competences identified as required for
 sustainable development, viz., observation, reflection, dialogue, visionary thinking, and
 participation. In addition, there is emphasis on systems thinking. The Nextfood
 approach involves six essential ‘shifts’: from lecture hall to a diversity of learning
 arenas; from lecturing to co- and peer learning; from syllabus to supporting literature;
 from textbook to a diversity of teaching aids; from written exam to a diversity of
 assessment methods; and from lecturer to learning facilitator.
 The knowledge gaps are addressed by a set of research questions that have been
 guiding an analysis of the cases’ reports over the period since the previous report on
 the educational strategy (D3.4). The research questions constitute the headlines in
 section 1.3 below
 It should be noted that the Nextfood cases are diverse and include a variety of learners,
 facilitators, and in-the field stakeholders. The terminology used when describing these
 actors can differ across cases and in the reported findings. In the Nextfood educational
 approach, one preferably speaks of ‘learner’ and ‘facilitator’, however, these terms are
 used interchangeably with ‘student’ and ‘teacher’ in this document.

description: In this document, we report on the outcomes of implementing the Nextfood educational strategy during the first year of the project. By conducting action research in the cases, data on the outcomes of the application of the strategy was gathered and reported through the Case development report (D2.5). Throughout the first year, the selected cases have been engaged with initiating their case work, primarily through planning the initial steps of employing the Nextfood approach. The initial reports from carrying out the educational activities suggest that the Nextfood approach is well suited for developing students’ required competences in dealing with a complex reality. However, we also observe signs that the approach may be less successful if the implementation is not performed in a comprehensive way. For the coming cycles, we expect to gain a better understanding of the necessary steps needed to successfully implement the Nextfood approach in the selected cases.

description: A new way of doing education is essential to cultivate the competences needed to deal with often vexing challenges of reaching sustainability in agri-food and forestry systems. Overall, the new approach we introduce is characterized by 1) a shift from theory to phenomenon as the starting point for the learning process (‘experiential learning’) and 2) a shift from knowledge to competence as the focus of the educational activities. One key strategy is involvement of students and other stakeholders to the point where they have co-ownership of the learning process, and thus are more motivated to learn than when placed in a passive receiver role.
 Such a major shift in mindset and educational activities will represent a challenge for institutions, teachers and students or other stakeholders. It will be important to enable teachers to go through a necessary shift in mindset, and to enable them to master a new way of designing and doing education. We have therefore included the development of a toolbox for teaching practitioners in the Nextfood project: “We will support the teaching practitioners in the cases with a toolbox with guides, learning models and teaching materials, which will be continually updated during the project. This education materials will be demonstrated for case leaders in a series of workshops.” (from the Nextfood Grant Agreement). The toolbox will support teachers at any level of the education system (high school, vocational training & university), as well as extension specialists devoted to experiential learning approaches. It is intended for courses and programs in the area of sustainable agri-food and forestry systems, but the methods and models are not content-specific and can be applied in a variety of educational settings.
 The toolbox design supports the Nextfood educational approach, in which learners and other supply chain actors (farmers, foresters, advisors and industry representatives) are seen as important actors and co-creators of knowledge. Hence, the D3.2 provides process and tools for implementation of experiential learning in a multi-stakeholder setting. For a thorough explanation of the Nextfood educational approach, please refer to D3.1 (Educational approaches).

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of a supersymmetric $SO(10)$ Grand Unified Theory, which is broken to the Standard Model via the breaking of two intermediate symmetries. The spontaneous breaking of the first intermediate symmetry, $B-L$, leads to the generation of cosmic strings and right-handed neutrino masses and further to an observable cosmological background of gravitational waves and generation of light neutrino masses via type-I seesaw mechanism. Supersymmetry breaking manifests as sparticle masses below the $B-L$ breaking but far above the electroweak scale due to proton decay limits. This naturally pushes the $B-L$ breaking scale close to the GUT scale, leading to the formation of metastable cosmic strings, which can provide a gravitational wave spectrum consistent with the recent Pulsar Timing Arrays observation. We perform a detailed analysis of this model using two-loop renormalisation group equations, including threshold corrections, to determine the symmetry-breaking scale consistent with the recent Pulsar Timing Arrays signals such as NANOGrav 15-year data and testable by the next-generation limits on proton decay from Hyper-K and JUNO. Simultaneously, we find the regions of the model parameter space that can predict the measured quark and lepton masses and mixing, baryon asymmetry of our Universe, a viable dark matter candidate and can be tested by a combination of neutrinoless double beta decay searches and limits on the sum of neutrinos masses.

description: The recent proliferation of research into transformer based natural language processing has led to a number of studies which attempt to detect the presence of human-like cognitive behavior in the models. We contend that, as is true of human psychology, the investigation of cognitive behavior in language models must be conducted in an appropriate population of an appropriate size for the results to be meaningful. We leverage work in uncertainty estimation in a novel approach to efficiently construct experimental populations. The resultant tool, PopulationLM, has been made open source. We provide theoretical grounding in the uncertainty estimation literature and motivation from current cognitive work regarding language models. We discuss the methodological lessons from other scientific communities and attempt to demonstrate their application to two artificial population studies. Through population based experimentation we find that language models exhibit behavior consistent with typicality effects among categories highly represented in training. However, we find that language models don't tend to exhibit structural priming effects. Generally, our results show that single models tend to over estimate the presence of cognitive behaviors in neural models.

description: The University of Wyoming King Air aircraft was the primary instrument platform for turbulence measurements in the bottom half of the convective boundary layer during 15 July–13 August 1996. A total of 12 successful research flights were made, each of about 4.5-h duration. Crosswind (east–west) flight patterns were flown in Oklahoma and Kansas over three sites of different land use: forest, pasture, and crops. Measurements of mean values, turbulent deviations, and turbulent fluxes of temperature, moisture, and momentum were made to test theories of convective transport, the radix layer, and cumulus potential. Additional portions of each flight included slant soundings and near-surface horizontal flights in order to determine mixed layer (ML) scaling variables such as ML depth zi, Deardorff velocity w and buoyancy velocity wB. While the ML was shallower and the ground wetter than anticipated based on climatology, a high-quality dataset was obtained. Copyright 1997 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

description: In this document, we report on the activities and outcomes in the 12 Nextfood cases. The cases have reported these outcomes using a revised template, that was developed to further streamline case development reporting (see Appendix 4.1). The template covers both the descriptive elements of each case, and the reporting of the case development process and case research. The filled templates, i.e. the individual case development reports from the cases, form the basis of this document.
 The third year of the Nextfood project started, like previous years, after the deliverables had been submitted at the end of June 2020. Unfortunately, the Ethiopia case has been put on hold in view of the situation in northern Ethiopia. The Chile case was started in the third year of the Nextfood project.
 In this third year, further case development was facilitated through workshops for all cases and peer-learning groups for the cases. Additionally, the WP2 leaders set up an individual meeting with each case in October 2020. The workshops covered challenges that several cases were facing, and guidance from the WP2 leaders on how to overcome those challenges. Through these workshops, the work across the cases became more streamlined.
 The four peer learning groups focused on the following topics, as selected by the cases themselves: Analysing competence development, qualitative data analysis, reflection, and the multi-actor approach. This last peer learning group gradually started focusing more on the topic of online action-oriented learning, due to the significance of that topic under the given Covid-19 pandemic. Several facilitators and researchers in the cases gave very positive feedback on their participation in the peer learning groups. They mentioned that they learned a lot from participating, specifically on issues that they had been struggling with for a while already.
 This document will start by presenting the amended template structure, before providing summaries from each of the case development reports. All the individual case development reports will follow thereafter.

Embedded Object Detection and Mapping in Soft Materials Using Optical Tactile Sensing

description: In this paper, we present a methodology that uses an optical tactile sensor for efficient tactile exploration of embedded objects within soft materials. The methodology consists of an exploration phase, where a probabilistic estimate of the location of the embedded objects is built using a Bayesian approach. The exploration phase is then followed by a mapping phase which exploits the probabilistic map to reconstruct the underlying topography of the workspace by sampling in more detail regions where there is expected to be embedded objects. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, we tested our approach on an experimental setup that consists of a series of quartz beads located underneath a polyethylene foam that prevents direct observation of the configuration and requires the use of tactile exploration to recover the location of the beads. We show the performance of our methodology using ten different configurations of the beads where the proposed approach is able to approximate the underlying configuration. We benchmark our results against a random sampling policy.
Fragility of surface states in non-Wigner Dyson topological insulators

description: Topological insulators and superconductors support extended surface states protected against the otherwise localizing effects of static disorder. Specifically, in the Wigner-Dyson insulators belonging to the symmetry classes A, AI, and AII, a band of extended surface states is continuously connected to a likewise extended set of bulk states forming a ``bridge'' between different surfaces via the mechanism of spectral flow. In this work we show that this mechanism is absent in the majority of non-Wigner-Dyson topological superconductors and chiral topological insulators. In these systems, there is precisely one point with granted extended states, the center of the band, $E=0$. Away from it, states are spatially localized, or can be made so by the addition of spatially local potentials. Considering the three-dimensional insulator in class AIII and winding number $ν=1$ as a paradigmatic case study, we discuss the physical principles behind this phenomenon, and its methodological and applied consequences. In particular, we show that low-energy Dirac approximations in the description of surface states can be treacherous in that they tend to conceal the localizability phenomenon. We also identify markers defined in terms of Berry curvature as measures for the degree of state localization in lattice models, and back our analytical predictions by extensive numerical simulations. A main conclusion of this work is that the surface phenomenology of non-Wigner-Dyson topological insulators is a lot richer than that of their Wigner-Dyson siblings, extreme limits being spectrum-wide quantum critical delocalization of all states vs. full localization except at the $E=0$ critical point. As part of our study we identify possible experimental signatures distinguishing between these different alternatives in transport or tunnel spectroscopy.

A Continuous Non-ergodic Theory for the Wave Set-up

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Inhomogeneities in the wave field due to wave groups, currents, and shoaling among other ocean processes can affect the mean water level. In this work, the classical and unsolved problem of continuously computing the set-down and the following set-up induced by wave breaking on a shoal of constant finite slope is tackled. This is possible by using available theoretical knowledge on how to approximate the distribution of wave random phases in finite depth. Then, the non-homogeneous spectral analysis of the wave field allows the computation of the ensemble average by means of the phase distribution and the inversion of the integral of the second moment for the special case of a shoaling process with uniform phase distribution. In doing so, I am able to obtain a direct effect of the slope magnitude on the phases distribution. Therefore, an analytical and slope-dependent mean water level with continuity over the entire range of water depth is provided.

The template covered the three phases of case development—planning, implementation and reflection—as described in the manual for case development (D2.2). A filled-in template was then returned from each case and used to write this document.
 Throughout this document, we first present a summary of the responses from the Nextfood cases on the topics listed in the template. Thereafter, the case reports from the individual cases follow.
Advantages of the Kirkwood-Dirac distribution among general quasi-probabilities for finite-state quantum systems

description: We investigate features of the quasi-joint-probability distribution for finite-state quantum systems, especially the two-state and three-state quantum systems, comparing different types of quasi-joint-probability distributions based on the general framework of quasi-classicalization. We show from two perspectives that the Kirkwood-Dirac distribution is the quasi-joint-probability distribution that behaves nicely for the finite-state quantum systems. One is the similarity to the genuine probability and the other is the information that we can obtain from the quasi-probability. By introducing the concept of the possible values of observables, we show for the finite-state quantum systems that the Kirkwood-Dirac distribution behaves more similarly to the genuine probability distribution in contrast to most of the other quasi-probabilities including the Wigner function. We also prove that the states of the two-state and three-state quantum systems can be completely distinguished by the Kirkwood-Dirac distribution of only two directions of the spin and point out for the two-state system that the imaginary part of the quasi-probability is essential for the distinguishability of the state.

description: Modern astronomical surveys are producing datasets of unprecedented size and richness, increasing the potential for high-impact scientific discovery. This possibility, coupled with the challenge of exploring a large number of sources, has led to the development of novel machine-learning-based anomaly detection approaches, such as Astronomaly. For the first time, we test the scalability of Astronomaly by applying it to almost 4 million images of galaxies from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey. We use a trained deep learning algorithm to learn useful representations of the images and pass these to the anomaly detection algorithm isolation forest, coupled with Astronomaly's active learning method, to discover interesting sources. We find that data selection criteria have a significant impact on the trade-off between finding rare sources such as strong lenses and introducing artefacts into the dataset. We demonstrate that active learning is required to identify the most interesting sources and reduce artefacts, while anomaly detection methods alone are insufficient. Using Astronomaly, we find 1635 anomalies among the top 2000 sources in the dataset after applying active learning, including eight strong gravitational lens candidates, 1609 galaxy merger candidates, and 18 previously unidentified sources exhibiting highly unusual morphology. Our results show that by leveraging the human-machine interface, Astronomaly is able to rapidly identify sources of scientific interest even in large datasets.

Medical Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Therapeutics Letter 19 discusses medical management of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Conclusions: Patients with “mild” symptoms of BPH should be reassured and do not need any treatment. Many patients with “moderate” to “severe” symptoms will improve spontaneously. Alpha-1-antagonists reduce symptoms in some patients. Their effect is detectable within 2 weeks. If the patient experiences no clear benefit by 1 month, the drug should be discontinued. The evidence of a significant benefit to risk ratio for finasteride is less clear. It may be useful for men with large prostates; a therapeutic trial of at least 3 months is required. Saw palmetto extracts cannot be recommended because effective doses of available preparations have not been established and evidence of safety and long term efficacy are insufficient. Before using any drug to treat BPH, develop a clear treatment goal with the patient. The score sheet may be helpful in symptom evaluation. If symptoms are not bothersome and there are no indications for urologic evaluation, try “watchful waiting” first. If this fails, apply the same test to any drug prescribed and evaluate success or failure within the appropriate period of time.

description: We calculate the charge gap $ΔE_C$ and the spin gap $ΔE_S$ of the ionic Hubbard chain including electron-hole symmetric density-dependent hopping. The vanishing of $ΔE_C$ ($ΔE_S$) signals a quantum critical point (QCP) in the charge (spin) sector. Between both critical points, the system is a fully gapped spontaneously dimerized insulator (SDI). We focus our study in this region. Including alternation in the hopping, it is possible to perform an adiabatic Thouless pump of one charge per cycle, but with a velocity limited by the size of the gaps.

description: A coupled oscillator network may be able to perform an energy-efficient associative memory operation. However, its realization has been difficult because inhomogeneities unavoidably arise among the oscillators during fabrication and lead to an unreliable operation. This issue could be resolved if the oscillator network were able to be formed from a single oscillator. Here, we performed numerical simulations and theoretical analyses on an associative memory operation that uses a virtual oscillator network based on a spin-torque oscillator. The virtual network combines the concept of coupled oscillators with that of feedforward neural networks. Numerical experiments demonstrate successful associations of $60$-pixel patterns with various memorized patterns. Moreover, the origin of the associative memory is shown to be forced synchronization driven by feedforward input, where phase differences among oscillators are fixed and correspond to the colors of the pixels in the pattern.

description: Promoter CpG island hypermethylation is a common strategy for cancer cells to silence tumor-suppressor gene expression, thereby facilitating the initiation and progression of cancer. Many cancers acquire a so-called CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of multiple aberrantly hypermethylated gene promoters. Mechanisms underlying CIMP have generated a considerable interest in the recent years. Common in many tumors with CIMP is the deregulation of 5mC-directed DNA hydroxylase activity provided by TET proteins. Colon cancers with an activating BRAFV600E mutation display extensive CGI hypermethylation and transcriptional silencing of many genes, including TET proteins. However, the causal link between BRAFV600E, TET proteins regulation and DNA hypermethylation has not been established. We show here stably expressing BRAFV600E in colon cancer cell line that BRAFV600E at first regulates the expression of TET1 independent of its own promoter methylation. The downregulation of TET1 is enough to establish hypermethylation at several CIMP targets. We further show that pharmacological inhibition of BRAFV600E is able to reverse the hypermethylation phenotype. Our work demonstrates, for the first time, a direct functional link between BRAF signaling and TET1 action and shows that TET1 downregulation is required for BRAF-induced DNA hypermethylation in colon cancer.

description: In numerous applications of signal processing, communications and biomedical we are faced with the necessity to remove noise and distortion from the signals. Adaptive filtering is one of the most important areas in digital signal processing to remove background noise and distortion. As received signal is continuously corrupted by noise where both received signal and noise signal both changes continuously, then this arise the need of adaptive filtering. In last few years various adaptive algorithms are developed for noise cancellation. The normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm is an important variant of the classical LMS algorithm for adaptive linear filtering. It possesses many advantages over the LMS algorithm, including having a faster convergence and providing for an automatic time-varying choice of the LMS stepsize parameter that affects the stability, steady-state mean square error (MSE), and convergence speed of the algorithm. An auxiliary fixed step-size that is often introduced in the NLMS algorithm has the advantage that its stability region (step-size range for algorithm stability) is independent of the signal statistics. This paper describes the development of an adaptive noise cancellation algorithm like NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square)for effective recognition of signal on MATLAB platform .We simulate the adaptive filter in MATLAB with noisy signal and obtained result shows that NLMS algorithm eliminates noise from noisy signal and get desired result at the output.

description: Cosmic infrared emission and absorption spectra often carry a well-defined and invariant 6.2 micron band that has been proposed to emanate from very small dust grains that may carry polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Hemoglycin, a well-defined polymer of glycine that also contains iron, has been found in meteorites of the primordial CV3 class and therefore originated in the solar protoplanetary disc. In approximate calculations, the principal amide I infrared absorption band of hemoglycin is at 6.04 microns. Hemoglycin, an antiparallel beta sheet structure with two 11-mer glycine chains, has an exact structural analog in antiparallel poly-L-lysine beta sheets which in the laboratory have an absorption peak at 6.21 microns. This wavelength coincidence, the demonstrated propensity of hemoglycin 4.9nm rods to form accreting lattice structures, and its proven existence in the solar protoplanetary disc strongly suggest that the cosmic 6.2 micron emission and absorption could be from small grains that are hemoglycin lattices or shell-like vesicles carrying internal organic molecules of various types. Calculated hemoglycin ultraviolet absorptions associated with iron in the molecule match the observed ultraviolet extinction feature at nominal 2175 Angstroms.

description: Strong correlation effects caused by Hund's coupling have been actively studied during the past decade. Hund's metal, strongly correlated while far from the Mott insulating limit, was studied as a representative example. However, recently, it was revealed that a typical Mott system also exhibits a sign of Hund physics by investigating the kink structure in the spectral function of $\mathrm{NiS_{2-x}Se_x}$. Therefore, to understand the Hund physics in a half-filled multi-orbital system near the metal-insulator transition, we studied pressure-induced metallic states of $\mathrm{NiS_2}$ by using density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory. Hund physics, responsible for suppressing local spin fluctuation, gives low-energy effective correlations, separated from Mott physics, which suppresses charge fluctuation at higher energy. This effect is prominent when $J$ becomes comparable to the quasiparticle kinetic energy, showing apparent scaling behavior of the kink position $E_{kink} \sim J \cdot Z$. We suggest that the Hund effect can also be observed in the optical conductivity as a non-Drude-like tail with $1/ω$ frequency dependence and non-monotonic temperature evolution of the integrated optical spectral weight at a fixed frequency. Our study demonstrates the important role of Hund's coupling for electronic correlations even in a half-filled system.
