description: Measurements of time delays between multiple quasar images produced by strong lensing are reaching a sensitivity that makes them a promising cosmological probe. Future surveys will provide significantly more measurements, reaching unprecedented depth in redshift, making strong lensing time delay (SLTD) observations competitive with other background probes. We forecast constraints on the nature of dark energy from upcoming SLTD surveys, simulating future catalogues with different numbers of lenses distributed up to redshift $z\sim 1$ and focusing on cosmological parameters such as the Hubble constant $H_0$ and parametrisations of the dark energy equation of state. We also explore the impact of our ability to precisely model the lens mass profile and its environment, on the forecasted constraints. We find that in the most optimistic cases, SLTD will constrain $H_0$ at the level of $\sim 0.1\%$, while the CPL equation of state parameters, $w_0$ and $w_a$, can be determined with errors $σ_{w_0}\sim 0.05$ and $σ_{w_a}\sim 0.3$, respectively. Furthermore, we investigate the bias introduced when a wrong cosmological model is assumed for the analysis. We find that the value of $H_0$ could be biased up to $10 σ$, assuming a perfect knowledge of the lens profile, when a $Λ$CDM model is used to analyse data that really belong to a $w$CDM cosmology with $w=-0.9$. Based on these findings, we identify a consistency check of the assumed cosmological model in future SLTD surveys, by splitting the dataset in several redshift bins. Depending on the characteristics of the survey, this could provide a smoking gun for dark energy.

description: The paper presents the results of a survey carried out with the teachers of the four school orders enrolled in the 2019-2020 academic year in the fifth cycle of the TFA Support Course organized by the Department of Education of the University of Genoa. The purpose of the survey was to detect information: (1) on the students’ input knowledge about the skills that outline the profile of the specialized teacher for support activities and (2) on their perception of proximity to the skills investigated. The results obtained were compared with those of a survey of the same type conducted in the years 2013/2014. This made it possible to draw initial observations on the evolution of the idea of inclusive teaching with which teachers currently approach the specialization course for support activities. Didattica inclusiva e competenze di ingresso degli insegnanti iscritti al Corso di specializzazione per il sostegno. Esiti di un’indagine esplorativa Il contributo presenta gli esiti di un’indagine realizzata con gli insegnanti dei quattro ordini di scuola iscritti nell’anno accademico 2019-2020 al V ciclo del Corso TFA sostegno organizzato dal Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione dell’Università di Genova. Lo scopo dell’indagine è stato quello di rilevare informazioni: (1) sulle conoscenze in ingresso dei corsisti circa le competenze che delineano il profilo dell’insegnante specializzato per le attività di sostegno e (2) sulla loro percezione di vicinanza alle competenze indagate. I risultati ottenuti sono stati comparati con quelli di un’indagine dello stesso tipo condotta negli anni 2013/2014. Questo ha consentito di trarre prime osservazioni sull’evoluzione dell’idea di didattica inclusiva con cui i docenti approcciano attualmente il corso di specializzazione per le attività di sostegno.

description: The teacher specialization for special educational needs, institutes in Italy with D.M. n. 249 of 10 September 2010, represent the place where teaching professionalism is built and structured in an inclusive perspective. The decree of 30 September 2011 defines the incoming skills that aspiring teachers specializing in support must possess. Based on these considerations, the objective of this contribution is to verify the correspondence between some skills required upon entry and those actually possessed by the students enrolled in the specialization courses for the didactic support activities to students with disabilities at the University of Calabria. In particular, we investigated the complex system of professional and social opinions and attitudes towards disability and inclusion possessed by the future support teachers at the beginning of the training course. Sistema di credenze dei futuri insegnanti di sostegno. Un’indagine condotta presso l’Università della Calabria I corsi di specializzazione per il sostegno, istituti in Italia con D.M. n. 249 del 10 settembre 2010, rappresentano il luogo nel quale la professionalità docente viene costruita e strutturata in una prospettiva inclusiva. Nel Decreto del 30 settembre 2011 si definiscono le competenze in entrata che gli aspiranti docenti specializzati per il sostegno devono possedere. Sulla base di queste considerazioni, l’obiettivo del presente contributo è quello di verificare la corrispondenza tra alcune competenze richieste in entrata e quelle effettivamente possedute dai corsisti iscritti ai percorsi di specializzazione al sostegno presso l’Università della Calabria. In particolare, è stato indagato il complesso sistema di opinioni e atteggiamenti nei confronti della disabilità e dell’inclusione posseduto dai futuri docenti specializzati sul sostegno all’inizio del percorso formativo.

description: We analyze and compare three different schemes that can be used to generate entanglement between spin qubits in optically-active single solid-state quantum systems. Each scheme is based on first generating entanglement between the spin degree of freedom and either the photon number, the time bin, or the polarization degree of freedom of photons emitted by the systems. We compute the time evolution of the entanglement generation process by decomposing the dynamics of a Markovian master equation into a set of propagation superoperators conditioned on the cumulative detector photon count. We then use the conditional density operator solutions to compute the efficiency and fidelity of the final spin-spin entangled state while accounting for spin decoherence, optical pure dephasing, spectral diffusion, photon loss, phase errors, detector dark counts, and detector photon number resolution limitations. We find that the limit to fidelity for each scheme is restricted by the mean wavepacket overlap of photons from each source, but that these bounds are different for each scheme. We also compare the performance of each scheme as a function of the distance between spin qubits.

description: The contemporary political, economic and social metamorphosis that inevitably will lead to a rise in special educational needs during the post-Covid phase, directly influence educational policies and lead to reflect on new factors in the implementation of training courses for learning support teachers. Studies highlight that teacher education promotes the acquisition of knowledge and intervenes in the motivation of the future teacher, important elements to react in a resilient and sustainable manner to the unpredictability of future scenarios. On the basis of these preconditions, the present work aims at validating the FIT-CHOICE scale and detecting the factors that may influence the motivation to undertake the career as a support teacher. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Italian version of the scale showed good psychometric capabilities both for detecting factors that affect motivation to become a teacher and for further comparative investigation with other tools. La motivazione e la formazione dei futuri docenti di sostegno in uno scenario post-pandemico L’attuale metamorfosi politica, economica e sociale e i bisogni educativi che emergeranno nella fase post-Covid porteranno inevitabilmente a ripensare le politiche educative e a considerare nuovi fattori nell’implementazione dei percorsi di formazione per i docenti specializzati. In letteratura, si evidenzia come la formazione favorisca l’acquisizione di conoscenze e intervenga sulla motivazione del futuro docente, elementi importanti per re-agire in modo resiliente e sostenibile all’imprevedibilità degli scenari futuri. Partendo da tali premesse, il presente lavoro si pone l’obiettivo di validare la scala FIT-CHOICE volta a rilevare i fattori che incidono sulla motivazione a intraprendere la professione del docente di sostegno. Dall’Analisi Fattoriale Confermativa, la versione italiana della scala ha mostrato buone capacità psicometriche sia per rilevare i fattori che incidono sulla motivazione sia per ulteriori indagini comparative che prevedono l’utilizzo di altri strumenti.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: A general discussion is given of signals for broken Lorentz symmetry in short-baseline neutrino experiments. Among the effects that Lorentz violation can introduce are a dependence on energy differing from that of the usual massive-neutrino solution and a dependence on the direction of neutrino propagation. Using the results of the LSND experiment, explicit analysis of the effects of broken Lorentz symmetry yields a nonzero value (3+/-1) x 10^{-19} GeV for a combination of coefficients for Lorentz violation. This lies in the range expected for effects originating from the Planck scale in an underlying unified theory.

title: Treatment of Vivax Malaria in Vietnam
Creators: name: Nguyen, Hoang Chau
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Globally, relapse caused by Plasmodium vivax malaria is estimated to contribute approximately 50% to the overall number of vivax infections. In South-East Asia, relapse rates commonly exceed 50%, making relapse as the main source of vivax illness. Recurrent episodes of febrile illness and hemolysis inflict a significant public health burden particularly in vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and young children. Multiple relapses may contribute substantially to the delayed morbidity and unappreciated mortality relative to falciparum malaria. Therefore, the radical cure of P. vivax malaria requires a combination of both blood schizontocides to achieve acute clinical cure, and hypnozoiticides to prevent relapses in the future. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the standard 14-day primaquine regimen in curing and preventing relapse from vivax malaria. Another 8-aminoquinoline derivative with prolonged elimination half-life, tafenoquine, also propose an alternative choice in radical therapy. The main research question is: what is the most effective treatment to achieve radical cure of Plasmodium vivax in Vietnam?

 In order to answer this question a series of studies and clinical trials were conducted in Vietnam and our findings point to these conclusions:

 1/ The short 7-day course of primaquine is an available, safe and highly efficacious antirelapse treatment that could improve the adherence of patients and hence the effectiveness of radical cure of vivax relapse.

 2/ The single dose of 300 mg tafenoquine, an 8-aminoquinoline drug, has similar antirelapse activity compared to primaquine. When administered with chloroquine, this hypnozoiticidal agent is a potential candidate in the malaria elimination era.

 3/ The prevalence and variants of G6PD deficiency determinants of hemolytic toxicity of 8-aminoquinolines in malaria endemic regions represent important factors to be considered when implementing radical cure of latent vivax malaria.

description: We present the construction of a novel time-domain signature extraction methodology and the development of a supporting supervised pattern detection algorithm. We focus on the targeted identification of eclipsing binaries that demonstrate a feature known as the O'Connell effect. Our proposed methodology maps stellar variable observations to a new representation known as distribution fields (DFs). Given this novel representation, we develop a metric learning technique directly on the DF space that is capable of specifically identifying our stars of interest. The metric is tuned on a set of labeled eclipsing binary data from the Kepler survey, targeting particular systems exhibiting the O'Connell effect. The result is a conservative selection of 124 potential targets of interest out of the Villanova Eclipsing Binary Catalog. Our framework demonstrates favorable performance on Kepler eclipsing binary data, taking a crucial step in preparing the way for large-scale data volumes from next-generation telescopes such as LSST and SKA.

description: When the free energy density of QCD is expanded in a series in the chemical potential, mu, the Taylor coefficients are the non-linear quark number susceptibilities. We show that these depend on the prescription for putting chemical potential on the lattice, making all extrapolations in chemical potential prescription dependent at finite lattice spacing. To put bounds on the prescription dependence, we investigate the magnitude of the non-linear susceptibilities over a range of temperature, T, in QCD with two degenerate flavours of light dynamical quarks at lattice spacing 1/4T. The prescription dependence is removed in quenched QCD through a continuum extrapolation, and the dependence of the pressure, P, on mu is obtained.

description: Today, the term “liquid sunlight” refers to a green fuel obtained by means of a process inspired by the natural photosynthesis. The method to have this fuel is based on the combination of compatible inorganic and biological components to transform light, water, and carbon dioxide to methane. A similar term, “sunlight-to-liquid” or “sun-to-liquid”, exists for a recently proposed synthesis of a gas, which is further processed to obtain kerosene. Here we will show that in the past the term “liquid sunlight” was used for the petroleum. Actually, the meaning of the term, today and in the past, is the same: conversion of the sunlight energy into a fuel.

description: The isotopic composition of redox sensitive metals in marine sedimentary rocks have been used to provide insights into the degree and extent of oceanic anoxia during environmental changes such as oceanic anoxic events (OAEs). In this study a new method has been developed to determine the isotope composition (δ187Re = [[(187Re/185Re)sample / (187Re/185Re)SRM 3143]-1]*1000) of the redox sensitive element rhenium in sedimentary deposits. The method requires 1.5 – 6.0 ng Re per analysis and utilises a two-stage chromatographic separation and MC-ICP-MS analysis. The accuracy was tested using matrix test samples (δ187Re = 0) that have an average δ187Re of -0.035 ± 0.112 ‰; and column processed aliquots of standard SRM 3143 of δ187Re = -0.042 ± 0.108 ‰. The long-term reproducibility of standard analyses is 0.082 ‰ (2 SD). The reference sample SDO-1 had 187Re = -0.163 ± 0.113 ‰. The total measured range in δ187Re was -1.087 ± 0.084 ‰ between a sediment sample from the Baltic Sea and SRM 3143.

 The δ187Re of marine mudrocks from the Toarcian OAE in Yorkshire, UK have a range of 0.699‰ from -0.019 ± 0.080 ‰ to -0.756 ± 0.085 ‰. During the OAE onset δ187Re increases by 0.219 ‰. The main event is synchronous with a - 0.596 ‰ 187Re excursion. Minimum δ187Re values correspond to the maximum global extent of anoxia indicated by other proxies. The 187Re decrease is interpreted to indicate a decrease in δ187Re of contemporaneous seawater due to a progressive increase in the global extent of anoxia.

 Recent sediments from the Gotland Deep, Baltic Sea have a 187Re range of 0.826 ‰ from 0.261 ± 0.084 to -1.087 ± 0.084 ‰. The cause of changes in δ187Re is inconclusive and could include changes in local anoxia, the basin-wide extent of anoxia, anthropogenic Re, runoff variation and diagenesis.

description: 	Collegiate churches were founded for two essential aims: the augmentation of divine worship, and the salvation of souls. This thesis brings to light just how important material and aesthetic enrichments were in regards to these functions. The vast majority of collegiate churches in Scotland were substantially augmented around the time of their foundation. Patrons undertook significant building programmes and provided a variety of furnishings and ornaments to facilitate and enrich the services their body of clergy performed. Precise statutes were laid down in order to ensure that clergy were skilled singers and organists. Many founders also made provision for their burial within their collegiate churches so that they could garner the maximum spiritual benefit from the organisations that they had founded. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first in-depth account of the art and architecture of Scottish medieval colleges. This thesis looks closely at the architecture, furnishings, rituals, music, imagery, and commemorative functions of the forty-nine collegiate churches founded in Scotland. A close concentration on this institutional form has meant that buildings, artworks, and practices which have hitherto not received significant scholarly attention have been carefully scrutinised. Furthermore, by looking at so many aspects of collegiate churches, the present study enriches an understanding of these institutions by providing a more holistic picture of their functions and significance. Ultimately this thesis examines why physical and aesthetic enrichment went hand in hand with the founding of a college, and what role this material culture had in regards to how collegiate churches functioned.

description: We show how to reconstruct a field theory from the spectrum of bound states on a topological defect. We apply our recipe to the case of kinks in 1+1 dimensions with one or two bound states. Our recipe successfully yields the sine-Gordon and $λϕ^4$ field theories when suitable bound state spectra are assumed. The recipe can also be used to globally reconstruct the inflaton potential of inflationary cosmology if the inflaton produces a topological defect. We discuss how defects can provide ``smoking gun'' evidence for a class of inflationary models.

description: We study for the first time the case in which Dark Matter (DM) is made of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMP) interacting just gravitationally with the standard model particles in an extra-dimensional Randall-Sundrum scenario. We assume that both the dark matter and the standard model are localized in the IR-brane and only interact via gravitational mediators, namely the graviton, the Kaluza-Klein gravitons and the radion. We found that in the early Universe DM could be generated via two main processes: the direct freeze-in and the sequential freeze-in. The regions where the observed DM relic abundance is produced are largely compatible with cosmological and collider bounds.

It can accommodate the successful aspects of grand unification while avoiding problems like doublet-triplet splitting in the Higgs sector. Many of the phenomenological properties of the 4-dimensional effective theory find an explanation through the geometry of compact space and the location of matter and Higgs fields. These geometrical properties can be used as a guideline for realistic model building.

description: We probe the influence of Lorentz-violating mechanism, treated exactly, on the radiative quantum corrections to critical exponents for massive $q$-deformed O($N$) $λϕ^{4}$ scalar field theories. We attain that task by employing three distinct and independent field-theoretic renormalization group methods. Firstly we compute the critical exponents up to the finite next-to-leading order for then generalizing the results for any loop level. We show that the $q$-deformed critical exponents are insensible to the Lorentz symmetry breaking mechanism thus agreeing with the universality hypothesis.

description: This study investigates adjustments in capital structures for agricultural cooperatives and differences before and during the agricultural downturn which started in 2013. We estimate a simultaneous equation model to test for cooperatives’ capital structure strategies based on two main theories from the corporate finance literature: the trade-off theory and the pecking order theory. Estimation results reveal that agricultural cooperatives in the U.S. generally adjust to short-term financial targets for equity and debt, supporting the trade-off theory while there is little support for the pecking order theory within the agricultural cooperatives sector.

description: The theme of support teachers’ competencies continues to be one of the issue still debated when school is intended as a vector for promoting inclusive processes. In line with this debate, the authors of this paper – after a brief reflection on the issue – discuss some data relating to the expectations of a group of trainees attending the 5th cycle of Specialization for support teaching. In particular, trainees were asked which competencies they expect to acquire during the training course in order to increase their professionalism and become inclusive teachers. As indicated in the paper, among these competencies emerge the management ones and those relating to teaching methodologies which, according to trainees, must be flexible and creative. Not surprisingly, their responses highlight that the acquisition of specific skills – which aim at promoting inclusion – is the main motivation that led them to attend the course, despite many of them have already being teachers for some time. Le competenze dell’insegnante inclusivo. Riflessioni sulla formazione iniziale tra aspettative e conferme Il tema delle competenze dei docenti specializzati per il sostegno continua ad essere uno dei nodi intorno al quale ruota il dibattito sulla scuola come vettore per promuovere processi inclusivi. Nel solco di questo dibattito, gli autori del presente contributo, dopo una breve riflessione sulla questione, presentano alcuni dati relativi alle aspettative che i corsisti del V ciclo di Specializzazione per il sostegno esprimono circa le competenze che si attendono di acquisire durante il percorso formativo al fine di accrescere la propria professionalità e divenire docenti inclusivi. Come indicato nell’articolo, tra queste emergono quelle gestionali e quelle relative alle metodologie didattiche che a loro dire devono essere flessibili e creative. Non a caso, emerge chiaramente dalle loro risposte che l’acquisizione di competenze specifiche mirate a favorire l’inclusione è la motivazione principale che li ha spinti a frequentare il corso, pur essendo molti di loro già insegnanti di scuola da diverso tempo.

title: Exploring the Context, Roles and Experiences of Mothers in Caring for their Inpatient Sick Newborns in Nairobi, Kenya: An Ethnographic Approach

description: Little progress has been made in reducing deaths among newborns. Newborn morbidity and mortality can be prevented through the timely provision of combined health systems interventions and access to high-quality inpatient and supportive care. Additionally, recent evidence has demonstrated the importance of social factors to the survival of sick newborns. The involvement of parents through family centred care, as well as maternally delivered interventions, have been shown to have positive outcomes for mother and baby, but in debates around the quality of care for newborns the voices of mothers, particularly in low and middle-income countries, are rarely heard. Using an ethnographic approach, this study critically examines the roles and experiences of mothers of hospitalized sick newborns in two newborn units in Nairobi, Kenya. Data collection involved non-participant observations, discharge in-depth interviews and narrative interviews with mothers 2-6 weeks post-discharge. Data were collected over 3 years and analysed iteratively using a grounded approach. The study revealed striking differences in the structural, cultural and socio-economic context of the two newborn units and their clientele. In both hospitals, the mothers played a role in providing care for their babies but with marked differences in the timing of onset, preparation and supervision of these roles. Despite these differences, the mothers narrated similar experiences of shock, fear and confusion in coping with their sick newborn, exacerbated by inadequate communication and information sharing between staff and mothers and a lack of psychosocial support. The inequities in care observed in the Nairobi newborn units are barely visible in the mothers’ own stories, instead they narrate a shared experience of their encounters with a biomedical model of care delivery. Advocacy for structural changes to reduce inequities in neonatal care are necessary. However, focusing on technological improvements risks further embedding a biomedical paradigm that ignores the needs of mothers.
Consequences of vector-like quarks of Nelson-Barr type

description: The Nelson-Barr mechanism to solve the strong CP problem requires vector-like quarks (VLQs) to transmit the spontaneous CP breaking to the SM. We study the scenario where only these VLQs are within reach at the TeV scale while the spontaneous CP breaking sector is inaccessible. We investigate how these VLQs of Nelson-Barr type differ from generic VLQs and find from parameter counting that one less parameter is needed. In particular, for one VLQ of Nelson-Barr type, there is only one CP odd quantity that is responsible for all CP violation. In this case, we solve the technical problem of parametrizing only the new physics parameters while keeping the SM parameters as independent inputs. For one down-type VLQ, the model is largely flavor safe because the VLQ couplings to the SM up quarks and the $W$ are hierarchically smaller for lighter quarks.

description: In light of the regulatory provisions provided by the Implementing Decrees of the Law 107/2015, starting from the cultural revolution that the ICF proposes, educational institutions are called upon to reconsider the individualized planning provided for the safeguard of pupils with disabilities. In order to guide the teachers in the dialogue with the biopsychosocial perspective, the working group of the Center on New Technologies for Disability and Inclusion (CNTHI) of the University of Salento has launched a research and training path on the ICF-based Individualized Educational Planning. The outcome of the research is the formalization and subsequent testing of a IEP -ICF model. The paper describes the development phases of the model and presents the results of the experimentation and monitoring process implemented in some school institutions in the reference area. Progettazione educativa individualizzata su base ICF. Sperimentazione e monitoraggio del modello PEI-ICF UniSalento Alla luce delle disposizioni normative previste dai Decreti attuativi della L. 107/2015, le istituzioni scolastiche sono chiamate a ripensare la progettazione individualizzata a tutela dell’alunno con disabilità a partire dalla rivoluzione culturale che l’ICF propone. Allo scopo di guidare i docenti nell’interlocuzione con la prospettiva bio-psico-sociale, il gruppo di lavoro del Centro sulle Nuove Tecnologie per la disabilità e l’Inclusione (CNTHI) dell’Università del Salento ha avviato un percorso di ricerca e di formazione sulla progettazione educativa individualizzata in chiave ICF, il cui esito è rappresentato dalla formalizzazione e dalla successiva sperimentazione di un modello PEI-ICF. Nel contributo sono descritte le fasi di elaborazione del modello e presentati i risultati del percorso di sperimentazione e di monitoraggio messo in atto in alcune istituzioni scolastiche del territorio.

description: We introduce the concept of a Majorana molecule, a topological bound state appearing in the geometry of a double quantum dot (QD) structure flanking a topological superconducting nanowire. We demonstrate that, if the Majorana bound states (MBSs) at opposite edges are probed nonlocally in a two probe experiment, the spectral density of the system reveals the so-called half-bowtie profiles, while Andreev bound states (ABSs) become resolved into bonding and antibonding molecular configurations. We reveal that this effect is due to the Fano interference between pseudospin superconducting pairing channels and propose that it can be catched by a pseudospin resolved Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)-tip.

description: This analysis examines how dairy farmers prioritize critical management areas in their operations and derives implications for future growth. A questionnaire elicited preferences from seven dairy farm management areas: production/milking, calf/heifer, feed/crop, financial planning/analysis/management, risk, milk marketing, and employee/labor management. Significant heterogeneity was identified surrounding farmer prioritization across management areas. Dairy manager respondents allocated 52% of their management capacity and time, on average, to production/milking management. Investigating priorities via a latent class model, in one class, financial planning/analysis/management or employee/labor management become relatively more important, and potentially critical, to the growth of the operation. This analysis provides dairy operators and industry stakeholders insights to facilitate dairy farm success and growth. Larger farms already placing greater emphasis on employees and labor management indicated they were prioritizing financial management for their success whereas smaller farms with growth intentions largely lacked management focused on areas outside of production and milking management.

description: The need for spatial and spectral filtering in the generation of polarization entanglement is eliminated by combining two coherently-driven type-II spontaneous parametric downconverters. The resulting ultrabright source emits photon pairs that are polarization entangled over the entire spatial cone and spectrum of emission. We detect a flux of $\sim$12 000 polarization-entangled pairs/s per mW of pump power at 90% quantum-interference visibility, and the source can be temperature tuned for 5 nm around frequency degeneracy. The output state is actively controlled by precisely adjusting the relative phase of the two coherent pumps.
