description: In contemporary academic literature, global citizenship remains a highly contested and controversial concept as it is approached from different perspectives by writers, thinkers and educational leaders. Despite divergent views, it has become the focus of study and debate over the last two decades because it is seen as having the potential to help future citizens become aware of complex global issues and to enable them to become active and informed citizens. The present survey was designed and conducted to examine the individual dimensions of global competence and to capture the knowledge and skills of global citizenship as identified by higher education students and professionals from various disciplines, especially educators. The qualitative methodology of structured interviews was followed and the research was conducted using convenience sampling in the region of Western Greece and the academic community of the University of Patras, while the interviews included, both students of higher education (active students of the University of Patras) and teachers of various levels and specialties, as well as private employees and other professionals, specifically professionals from the health sector, all of them graduates of the academic community of the University of Patras. The results of the survey show that the concept of global competence is considered important, while the global citizen acquires those characteristics that must distinguish the modern individual who moves in different environments and interacts with different people. In the sample of survey participants, two individuals appeared to be unfamiliar with the concepts of global competence and global citizen, however the responses gathered from the whole sample describe informed views on specific knowledge and competencies of global citizen and are consistent with results of similar research in this area at the global level.

Publisher: name: Academia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Cyberbullying; university; students; systematic review; prevention programmes

description: Cyberbullying, as a social issue, concerns students and the university community to the extent that it is related to the health and academic performance of students. Therefore, it is important to identify factors and interventions to prevent cyberbullying. In the present study, a systematic review was attempted of articles in the Greek and international literature related to programmes/interventions for the prevention of cyberbullying among university students. The main conclusion of the review is the necessity of designing and implementing programs for the prevention of cyberbullying in universities.

description: In this work, we present a new X-band waveguide (WR90) measurement method that permits the broadband characterization of the complex permittivity for low dielectric loss tangent material specimens with improved accuracy. An electrically-long polypropylene specimen that partially fills the cross-section is inserted into the waveguide and the transmitted scattering parameter (S21) is measured. The extraction method relies on computational electromagnetic simulations, coupled with a genetic algorithm, to match the experimental S21 measurement. The sensitivity of the technique to sample length was explored by simulating specimen lengths from 2.54 to 15.24 cm, in 2.54 cm increments. Analysis of our simulated data predicts the technique will have the sensitivity to measure loss tangent values on the order of 10e-3 for materials such as polymers with relatively low real permittivity values. The ability to accurately characterize low-loss dielectric material specimens of polypropylene is demonstrated experimentally. The method was validated by excellent agreement with a free-space focused-beam system measurement of a polypropylene sheet. This technique provides the material measurement community with the ability to accurately extract material properties of low-loss material specimen over the entire X-band range. This technique could easily be extended to other frequency bands.

description: On the space of weighted radial Sobolev space, the following generalization of Moser-Trudinger type inequality was established by Calanchi and Ruf in dimension 2 : If $β\in [0,1)$ and $w_0(x) = |\log |x||^β$ then $$ \sup_{\int_B |\grad u|^2w_0 \leq 1 , u \in H_{0,rad}^1(w_0,B)} \int_B e^{αu^{\frac{2}{1-β}}} dx < \infty,$$ if and only if $α\leq α_β= 2\left[2π(1-β) \right]^{\frac{1}{1-β}}.$ We prove the existence of an extremal function for the above inequality for the critical case when $α= α_β$ thereby generalizing the result of Carleson-Chang who proved the case when $β=0$.

description: The recently discovered rotationally powered pulsar PSR J1640-4631 is the first to have a braking index measured, with high enough precision, that is greater than three. An inclined magnetic rotator in vacuum or plasma would be subject not only to spin-down but also to an alignment torque. The vacuum model can address the braking index only for an almost orthogonal rotator that is incompatible with the single peaked pulse profile. The magnetic dipole model with the corotating plasma predicts braking indices between $3-3.25$. We find that the braking index of $3.15$ is consistent with two different inclination angles, $18.5\pm 3$ degrees and $56 \pm 4$ degrees. The smaller angle is preferred given the pulse profile has a single peak and the radio output of the source is weak. We infer the change in the inclination angle to be at the rate $-0.23$ degrees per century, three times smaller in absolute value than the rate recently observed for the Crab pulsar.

description: In the 21st century, intense anthropogenic activity is increasing the rates of climate change to unprecedented levels, resulting in public debates about the adoption of green development models. Sustainability is a development model that has been at the centre of the aspirations of many organizations and businesses in recent years, as it refers to the safe co-evolution of the environment, society and the economy and can provide an immediate solution to the environmental problem. In this effort, higher education seems to play an essential role, which is expected to contribute effectively to the promotion and enhancement of sustainable development in society, through the educational process and the adoption of environmentally friendly practices.

description: Observations have suggested that some low-mass stars have larger radii than predicted by 1-D structure models. Some theoretical models have invoked very strong interior magnetic fields (of order 1 MG or more) as a possible cause of such large radii. Whether fields of that strength could in principle by generated by dynamo action in these objects is unclear, and we do not address the matter directly. Instead, we examine whether such fields could remain in the interior of a low mass object for a significant time, and whether they would have any other obvious signatures. First, we estimate timescales for the loss of strong fields by magnetic buoyancy instabilities. We consider a range of field strengths and simple morphologies, including both idealized flux tubes and smooth layers of field. We confirm some of our analytical estimates using thin flux tube magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the rise of buoyant fields in a fully-convective M-dwarf. Separately, we consider the Ohmic dissipation of such fields. We find that dissipation provides a complementary constraint to buoyancy: while small-scale, fibril fields might be regenerated faster than they rise, the dissipative heating associated with such fields would in some cases greatly exceed the luminosity of the star. We show how these constraints combine to yield limits on the internal field strength and morphology in low-mass stars. In particular, we find that for stars of 0.3 solar masses, no fields in flux tubes stronger than about 800 kG are simultaneously consistent with both constraints.

Publisher: name: Academia

Subjects: Global Citizenship Education; global citizenship; higher education; internationalization at home

description: In the contemporary globalized environment, the need for developing global citizenship within higher education institutions becomes increasingly prominent. In this study, through literature review, we examine the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating Global Citizenship Education (GCE) into higher education. Specifically, we explore teaching methods, approaches, and frameworks that facilitate the development of "world citizens", as well as potential barriers to their implementation. The study unfolds various aspects of GCE and identifies it as a powerful tool for promoting global citizenship among students. Thus, despite existing challenges, such as the shifting goals of higher education and the reluctance of educators, the review reveals significant possibilities of higher education to shape global citizens through GCE, leveraging practices such as internationalization at home, mobility programs, and experiential learning. The need for a holistic approach and redesign of study programs that will promote critical thinking and incorporate GCE principles is emphasized. The study provides useful information for teaching staff, curriculum developers, and policy makers about the complex landscape of GCE in higher education.

description: We study a classical $Λ$-type three-level system based on three high-$Q$ micromechanical beam resonators embedded in a gradient electric field. By modulating the strength of the field at the difference frequency between adjacent beam modes, we realize strong dynamic two-mode coupling, via the dielectric force. Driving adjacent pairs simultaneously, we observe the formation of a purely mechanical 'dark' state and an all-phononic analog of coherent population trapping --- signatures of strong three-mode coupling. The $Λ$-type micromechanical system is a natural extention of previously demonstrated 'two-level' micromechanical systems and offers new perspectives on the architecture of all-phononic micromechanical circuits and arrays.

description: Die Auswirkungen der Klimakrise auf unser Wohlergehen und unsere Gesundheit werden mit jeder Hitzewelle, jedem Extremwetterereignis und jeder Dürreperiode deutlicher. Doch auch andere durch menschliche Aktivitäten verursachte Umweltschäden haben direkte und indirekte Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesundheit. Vor allem der dramatische Biodiversitätsverlust sowie die Verschmutzung von Gewässern, Luft und Böden haben längst ein gefährliches Maß erreicht. Gesundheitsschutz ist also nicht nur in der Gesundheitspolitik anzusiedeln, ebenso wie Umweltschutz weit über die Umweltpolitik hinaus verbessert werden muss. Das Arzneimittelwesen nimmt auf der einen Seite mit seinen wichtigen gesundheitsschützenden und -fördernden Produkten eine essenzielle Rolle in der gesundheitlichen Versorgung ein. Auf der anderen Seite trägt es durch seine chemikalienintensive Produktion erheblich zu Umwelt- und Klimabelastungen bei, die wiederum unserer Gesundheit und unseren Lebensgrundlagen schaden. In diesem Policy Brief stellen wir diese Problematik dar und zeigen auf, mit welchen rechtlichen Hebeln die Umwelt- und Klimabilanz des Sektors verbessert werden kann. Als besonders wirkungsvolle Hebel gilt eine zulassungsrelevante Umweltrisikoprüfung für Humanarzneimittel; die verpflichtende Berücksichtigung von Nachhaltigkeitskriterien in der Ausschreibung für Arzneimittel; die Einbeziehung von sowohl Treibhausgasemissionen als auch Auswirkungen auf die Biodiversität in das Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz; transparente, zugängliche Daten zu den Klima- und Umweltauswirkungen von Neu- und Altarzneimitteln; die Reduktion von Verschwendung und unsachgemäßer Entsorgung; die Förderung von Generikaproduktion in Europa; sowie Aus- und Weiterbildungen für Pharmazeut:innen im Hinblick auf Umweltschutz und Nachhaltigkeit.

description: NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has revealed the complex geology of Pluto and Charon. Pluto's encounter hemisphere shows ongoing surface geological activity centered on a vast basin containing a thick layer of volatile ices that appears to be involved in convection and advection, with a crater retention age no greater than $\approx$10 Ma. Surrounding terrains show active glacial flow, apparent transport and rotation of large buoyant water-ice crustal blocks, and pitting, likely by sublimation erosion and/or collapse. More enigmatic features include tall mounds with central depressions that are conceivably cryovolcanic, and ridges with complex bladed textures. Pluto also has ancient cratered terrains up to ~4 Ga old that are extensionally fractured and extensively mantled and perhaps eroded by glacial or other processes. Charon does not appear to be currently active, but experienced major extensional tectonism and resurfacing (probably cryovolcanic) nearly 4 billion years ago. Impact crater populations on Pluto and Charon are not consistent with the steepest proposed impactor size-frequency distributions proposed for the Kuiper belt.

description: We prove $L^p$ bounds for partial polynomial Carleson operators along monomial curves $(t,t^m)$ in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ with a phase polynomial consisting of a single monomial. These operators are "partial" in the sense that we consider linearizing stopping-time functions that depend on only one of the two ambient variables. A motivation for studying these partial operators is the curious feature that, despite their apparent limitations, for certain combinations of curve and phase, $L^2$ bounds for partial operators along curves imply the full strength of the $L^2$ bound for a one-dimensional Carleson operator, and for a quadratic Carleson operator. Our methods, which can at present only treat certain combinations of curves and phases, in some cases adapt a $TT^*$ method to treat phases involving fractional monomials, and in other cases use a known vector-valued variant of the Carleson-Hunt theorem.

Shear to longitudinal mode conversion via second harmonic generation in a two-dimensional microscale granular crystal

description: Shear to longitudinal mode conversion via second harmonic generation is studied theoretically and computationally for plane waves in a two-dimensional, adhesive, hexagonally close-packed microscale granular medium. The model includes translational and rotational degrees of freedom, as well as normal and shear contact interactions. We consider fundamental frequency plane waves in all three linear modes, which have infinite spatial extent and travel in one of the high-symmetry crystal directions. The generated second harmonic waves are longitudinal for all cases. For the lower transverse-rotational mode, an analytical expression for the second harmonic amplitude, which is derived using a successive approximations approach, reveals the presence of particular resonant and antiresonant wave numbers, the latter of which is prohibited if rotations are not included in the model. By simulating a lattice with adhesive contact force laws, we study the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis for non-resonant, resonant, and antiresonant cases. This work is suitable for the analysis of microscale and statically compressed macroscale granular media, and should inspire future studies on nonlinear two- and three-dimensional granular systems in which interparticle shear coupling and particle rotations play a significant role.

Dimensional regularization is generic

description: The absence of the quadratic divergence in the Higgs sector of the Standard Model in the dimensional regularization is usually regarded to be an exceptional property of a specific regularization. To understand what is going on in the dimensional regularization, we illustrate how to reproduce the results of the dimensional regularization for the $λϕ^{4}$ theory in the more conventional regularization such as the higher derivative regularization; the basic postulate involved is that the quadratically divergent induced mass, which is independent of the scale change of the physical mass, is kinematical and unphysical. This is consistent with the derivation of the Callan-Symanzik equation, which is a comparison of two theories with slightly different masses, for the $λϕ^{4}$ theory without encountering the quadratic divergence. We thus suggest that the dimensional regularization is generic in a bottom-up approach starting with a successful low-energy theory. We also define a modified version of the mass independent renormalization for a scalar field which leads to the homogeneous renormalization group equation. Implications of the present analysis on the Standard Model at high energies and the presence or absence of SUSY at LHC energies are briefly discussed.

description: On November 12, 2014, the ESA/Rosetta descent module Philae landed on the Abydos site of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Aboard this module, the Ptolemy mass spectrometer measured a CO/CO2 ratio of 0.07 +/- 0.04 which differs substantially from the value obtained in the coma by the Rosetta/ROSINA instrument, suggesting a heterogeneity in the comet nucleus. To understand this difference, we investigated the physico-chemical properties of the Abydos subsurface leading to CO/CO2 ratios close to that observed by Ptolemy at the surface of this region. We used a comet nucleus model that takes into account different water ice phase changes (amorphous ice, crystalline ice and clathrates), as well as diffusion of molecules throughout the pores of the matrix. The input parameters of the model were optimized for the Abydos site and the ROSINA CO/CO2 measured ratio is assumed to correspond to the bulk value in the nucleus. We find that all considered structures of water ice are able to reproduce the Ptolemy observation with a time difference not exceeding ~50 days, i.e. lower than ~2% on 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's orbital period. The suspected heterogeneity of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's nucleus is also found possible only if it is constituted of crystalline ices. If the icy phase is made of amorphous ice or clathrates, the difference between Ptolemy and ROSINA's measurements would rather originate from the spatial variations in illumination on the nucleus surface. An eventual new measurement of the CO/CO2 ratio at Abydos by Ptolemy could be decisive to distinguish between the three water ice structures.

description: We explore the possibility of explaining the recent $\sim 750$ GeV excesses observed by ATLAS and CMS in the $γγ$ spectrum in the context of a compelling theory of Naturalness. The potential spin-zero resonance responsible for the excesses also requires the existence of new heavy charged states. We show that both such features are naturally realized in a see-saw Composite Higgs model for EWSB, where the new pseudo-Goldstone bosons are expected to be comparatively heavier than the SM Higgs, and the new fermions have masses in the TeV range. If confirmed, the existence of this new resonance could be the first stone in the construction of a new theory of Naturalness.

description: Let $f(q)=a_rq^r+\cdots+a_sq^s$, with $a_r\neq 0$ and $a_s\neq 0$, be a real polynomial. It is a palindromic polynomial of darga $n$ if $r+s=n$ and $a_{r+i}=a_{s-i}$ for all $i$. Polynomials of darga $n$ form a linear subspace $\mathcal{P}_n(q)$ of $\mathbb{R}(q)_{n+1}$ of dimension $\lfloor{n/2}\rfloor+1$. We give transition matrices between two bases $\left\{q^j(1+q+\cdots+q^{n-2j})\right\}, \left\{q^j(1+q)^{n-2j}\right\}$ and the standard basis $\left\{q^j(1+q^{n-2j})\right\}$ of $\mathcal{P}_n(q)$. We present some characterizations and sufficient conditions for palindromic polynomials that can be expressed in terms of these two bases with nonnegative coefficients. We also point out the link between such polynomials and rank-generating functions of posets.

description: We revisit gravitino production following inflation. As a first step, we review the standard calculation of gravitino production in the thermal plasma formed at the end of post-inflationary reheating when the inflaton has completely decayed. Next we consider gravitino production prior to the completion of reheating, assuming that the inflaton decay products thermalize instantaneously while they are still dilute. We then argue that instantaneous thermalization is in general a good approximation, and also show that the contribution of non-thermal gravitino production via the collisions of inflaton decay products prior to thermalization is relatively small. Our final estimate of the gravitino-to-entropy ratio is approximated well by a standard calculation of gravitino production in the post-inflationary thermal plasma assuming total instantaneous decay and thermalization at a time $t \simeq 1.2/Γ_ϕ$. Finally, in light of our calculations, we consider potential implications of upper limits on the gravitino abundance for models of inflation, with particular attention to scenarios for inflaton decays in supersymmetric Starobinsky-like models.

ARQ with Adaptive Feedback for Energy Harvesting Receivers

description: Automatic repeat request (ARQ) is widely used in modern communication systems to improve transmission reliability. In conventional ARQ protocols developed for systems with energy-unconstrained receivers, an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) message is fed back when decoding succeeds/fails. Such kind of non-adaptive feedback consumes significant amount of energy, and thus will limit the performance of systems with energy harvesting (EH) receivers. In order to overcome this limitation and to utilize the harvested energy more efficiently, we propose a novel ARQ protocol for EH receivers, where the ACK feedback can be adapted based upon the receiver's EH state. Two conventional ARQ protocols are also considered. By adopting the packet drop probability (PDP) as the performance metric, we formulate the throughput constrained PDP minimization problem for a communication link with a non-EH transmitter and an EH receiver. Optimal reception policies including the sampling, decoding and feedback strategies, are developed for different ARQ protocols. Simulation results will show that the proposed ARQ protocol not only outperforms the conventional ARQs in terms of PDP, but can also achieve a higher throughput.

Femtoscopic measurements in $p$+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\text{NN}}}}= 5.02$~TeV with ATLAS at the LHC

description: Recent measurements in two-particle correlations in $p$+Pb collisions suggest collective behavior reminiscent of that observed in Pb+Pb. Femtoscopic measurements may provide useful insight on this behavior because they image the spatio-temporal size of the particle emitting region. This proceeding presents identical-pion Hanbury Brown and Twiss (HBT) measurements from ATLAS using one- and three-dimensional correlation functions. Pions are identified using $\text{d}E/\text{d}x$ measured in the pixel detector. Correlation functions and the resulting HBT radii are shown as a function of pair momentum ($k_{\rm T}$) and collision centrality.

description: Carbon capture and storage (CCUS) is a core technology for preventing the release of CO2 produced through conventional industrial production and power generation processes. Climate change and global warming are in the spotlight and is addressed globally nowadays. This paper aims to identify the most economically viable carbon capture technologies (CCUSs) for reducing carbon emissions and we conduct a comparative economic assessment of three technologies, namely, absorption, adsorption, membranes, and hydrate-based carbon capture technologies. The comparison reveals that the simple absorption process deploying an aqueous solution of piperazine (PPZ) is economically more viable than membrane and sorption-based separation processes, but the capture cost is high while the results also showed that hydrate capture has been identified as a more sustainable and cost-effective option.
Relativistic stars in bigravity theory

description: Assuming static and spherically symmetric spacetimes in the ghost-free bigravity theory, we find a relativistic star solution, which is very close to that in general relativity. The coupling constants are classified into two classes: Class [I] and Class [II]. Although the Vainshtein screening mechanism is found in the weak gravitational field for both classes, we find that there is no regular solution beyond the critical value of the compactness in Class [I]. This implies that the maximum mass of a neutron star in Class [I] becomes much smaller than that in GR. On the other hand, for the solution in Class [II], the Vainshtein screening mechanism works well even in a relativistic star and the result in GR is recovered.

description: We study current-driven skyrmion motion in uniaxial thin film antiferromagnets in the presence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and in an external magnetic field. We phenomenologically include relaxation and current-induced torques due to both spin-orbit coupling and spatially inhomogeneous magnetic textures in the equation for the Néel vector of the antiferromagnet. Using the collective coordinate approach we apply the theory to a two-dimensional antiferromagnetic skyrmion and estimate the skyrmion velocity under an applied DC electric current.

Optimized opacity for photospheric convection simulations of cool stars with the MANCHA code

description: Simulations are undoubtedly one of the best tools to study in detail the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere of cool stars and, in particular, their convection zone and photosphere. However, realistic 3D simulations of the stellar convection require simultaneous solution of the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations, the equation of state (EOS) and the radiative transfer equation (RTE), having the latter a particular difficulty: the complex dependency of the opacity with wavelength, which makes computationally extremely expensive to solve the RTE in 3D for the millions of wavelength points needed to sample the individual line profiles. Here we present an analysis of two methods typically used to heavily reduce the amount of computations while still preserving sufficient accuracy in the frequency integrated quantities: the opacity distribution function (ODF) and opacity binning (OB). We computed the monochromatic opacities using the SYNSPEC code (Hubeny and Lanz, 2011), performed numerical experiments to determine the optimal settings of the ODF and OB and evaluated the influence of the choices made in both methods on the resulting radiative cooling. Based on the optimized scheme for treating the opacities, we have used the MANCHA code (Khomenko et al., 2017) to produce improved 3D hydrodynamical stellar simulations of near-surface convection of main sequence cool stars (spectral type between F and M). These simulations set the basis for future studies on the magnetic field generation and non-ideal MHD effects in other stars than the Sun.

description: We report the discovery of a `Triple-Double Radio Galaxy (TDRG)' J1216+0709 detected in deep low-frequency Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) observations. J1216+0709 is only the third radio galaxy, after B0925+420 and Speca, with three pairs of lobes resulting from three different episodes of AGN jet activity. The 610 MHz GMRT image clearly displays an inner pair of lobes, a nearly co-axial middle pair of lobes and a pair of outer lobes that is bent w.r.t. the axis of inner pair of lobes. The total end-to-end projected sizes of the inner, middle, and outer lobes are 40$^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ ($\sim$ 95 kpc), 1$^{\prime}$.65 ($\sim$ 235 kpc) and 5$^{\prime}$.7 ($\sim$ 814 kpc), respectively. Unlike the outer pair of lobes both the inner and middle pairs of lobes exhibit asymmetries in arm-lengths and flux densities, but in opposite sense, i.e., the eastern sides are farther and also brighter that the western sides, thus suggesting the possibility of jet being intrinsically asymmetric rather than due to relativistic beaming effect. The host galaxy is a bright elliptical (m$_{\rm r}$ $\sim$ 16.56) with M$_{\rm SMBH}$ $\sim$ 3.9 $\times$ 10$^{9}$ M$\odot$ and star-formation rate of $\sim$ 4.66$_{\rm -1.61}^{\rm +4.65}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The host galaxy resides is a small group of three galaxies (m$_{\rm r}$ $\leq$ 17.77) and is possibly going through the interaction with faint, dwarf galaxies in the neighbourhood, which may have triggered the recent episodes of AGN activity.

description: We use the kinematics of discrete tracers, primarily globular clusters (GCs) and planetary nebulae (PNe), along with measurements of the integrated starlight to explore the assembly histories of early type galaxies. Data for GCs and stars are taken from the SLUGGS wide field, 2-dimensional, chemo-dynamical survey (Brodie et al. 2014). Data for PNe are from the PN.S survey (see contributions by Gerhard and by Arnaboldi, this volume). We find widespread evidence for 2-phase galaxy assembly and intriguing constraints on hierarchical merging under a lambda CDM cosmology.
