description: Medieval Settlement Research, 36, 68-73
description: Charred plant remains from the South Manor site - at the excavated medieval settlement of Wharram Percy, Yorkshire - were radiocarbon-dated by the Feeding Anglo-Saxon England project. These new radiocarbon dates suggest that a crop processing oven previously associated with the twelfth- to thirteenth-century manorial phase is now most plausibly dated to the late tenth century, and also that crops were probably being processed in the vicinity of a black loam layer by the ninth century. This evidence could indicate 'high status' and/or specialised activity in this ninth- to tenth-century phase.

description: In this Communication, we investigate a toy model of three-dimensional topological insulator surface, coupled homogeneously to a fictitious pseudo spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle. We show that this toy model captures the interesting features of topological insulator surface states, which include topological quantum phase transition and quantum spin hall effect. We further incorporate an out-of-plane magnetic field and obtain the Landau levels.

description: Walker et al.'s Magellan/MMFS Survey survey identified 1355 red giant candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor. We find that the Gaia satellite will be able to measure the proper motions of 139 of these with a precision of between 13 and 20 km/s. Using a Jeans analysis and 5-parameter density model we show that this allows a determination of the mass within the deprojected half-light radius to within 16% and a measurement of the dark matter density exponent gamma to within 0.68 within that radius. If, even at first light, the TMT observes Sculptor then the combined observations will improve the precision on these proper motions to about 5 km/s, about 5 years earlier than would be possible without Gaia, further improving the precision of gamma to 0.27. Using a bimodal stellar population model for Sculptor the precision of gamma improves by about 30%. This suggests that Gaia (with TMT) is capable of excluding a cored profile of the kind predicted by CDM simulations with 2 sigma (4 sigma) of confidence.

description: Scopo del saggio è di illustrare l'eredità della fenomenologia husserliana nell'esperienza della consulenza filosofica, e, allo stesso tempo, di indicare i limiti dell'uso del metodo fenomenologico in essa. L'autore indica nelle sue Meditazioni cartesiane i punti che sono cruciali per capire la relazione di aiuto, che egli interpreta come una dialettica o piuttosto come un'oscillazione tra la consistenza dell'ego, la sua storia, e l'apertura al mistero. Centrale nella sua ricerca sono le pagine husserliane sulla radicale "intermonadicità" che apre all'altro. Egli inoltre dà enfasi all'essenziale contingenza della relazione e alla dialettica come eros.

description: The paper aims to evaluate the presence and condition of vegetation by SAGA GIS. The study area covers northern coasts of Iceland including two fjords, the Eyjafjörður and the Skagafjörður, prosperous agricultural regions. The vegetation coverage in Iceland experience the impact of harsh climate, land use, livestock grazing, glacial ablation and volcanism. The data include the Landsat TM image. The methodology is based on computing raster bands for simulating Tassel Cap Transformation (wetness, greenness and brightness) and Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) sensitive to high biomass. The results include modelled three bands of brightness, greenness and wetness. Greenness variation shows the least values in ice-covered areas (-56.98 to -18.69). High values (-23.48 to 9.12) are in the valleys with dense vegetation, correlating with the geomorphology of the river network, the vegetation-free areas and ocean which corresponds to the peak of 30.87 to 41.19. The bell-shaped data distribution shows frequency 43.19–141.74 for vegetation indicating healthy state and canopy density. Maximal values are in ice-covered regions and glaciers (64°N- 65°N). Very low values (0 to -20) show desertification and mountainous rocks. Moderate values (20-40) indicate healthy vegetation. The most frequent data: -28,17 to 11,8. The EVI shows data variations (-0.14 to 0.04). The study contributes both to the regional studies of Arctic Iceland and methodological approach of remote sensing data processing by SAGA GIS.

title: Passioni ed emozioni nell’antropologia di Kant
Creators: name: Pansera , Maria Teresa
Publisher: name: Roma Tre-Press
Year: 2013

description: Il pensiero antropologico di Kant porta l'etica al mondo attraverso l'analisi della personalità e la motivazione dell'azione umana. In questa prospettiva il soggetto delle affezioni e delle emozioni, e le loro possibili deviazioni, conducono a una relazione complessa tra moralità, antropologia e psicologia. I disordini relativi alla capacità di desiderare sono tra le malattie dello spirito. Le emozioni e le passioni, nonostante siani differenti, escludono entrambe il ruolo della ragione, ma mentre le prime sono solo momentanei insulti alla libertà, le ultime hanno la loro soddisfazione nella schiavitù. Kant, attraverso la sua analisi etica, antropologica e psicologica, enfatizza il concetto di saggezza mondana, del quale egli sottolinea il collegamento tra l'humanitas e l'etica.

description: Both observational and theoretical studies of black-hole activity or active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback have been ongoing since the first indication of supermassive black holes powering quasar activity in the 1960s. Although several crucial astrophysical questions have been answered in the following decades, a number of open problems remain, in particular how AGN feedback operates over nearly eight orders of magnitude - from scales of $\sim 10^{-3}\,{\rm pc}$ to the galaxy-cluster scales of a few hundred kiloparsecs. At the beginning of June 2022, about 50 junior as well as senior researchers met in Brno for the post-lockdown edition of the Cologne-Prague-Brno meeting to try to connect the dots.

description: We study Rényi entropy of locally excited states with considering the thermal and boundary effects respectively in two dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). Firstly we consider locally excited states obtained by acting primary operators on a thermal state in low temperature limit. The Rényi entropy is summation of contribution from thermal effect and local excitation. Secondly, we mainly study the Rényi entropy of locally excited states in 2D CFT with a boundary. We show that the evolution of Rényi entropy does not depend on the choice of boundary conditions and boundary will change the time evolution of Rényi entropy. Moreover, in 2D rational CFTs with a boundary, we show that the Rényi entropy always coincides with the log of quantum dimension of the primary operator during some periods of the evolution. We make use of a quasi-particle picture to understand this phenomenon. In terms of quasi-particle interpretation, the boundary behaves as an infinite potential barrier which reflects any energy moving towards the boundary.

description: The sign problem is the fundamental limitation to quantum Monte Carlo simulations of the statistical mechanics of interacting fermions. Determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) is one of the leading methods to study lattice models such as the Hubbard Hamiltonian which describe strongly correlated phenomena including magnetism, metal-insulator transitions, and (possibly) exotic superconductivity. Here, we provide a comprehensive dataset on the geometry dependence of the DQMC sign problem for different densities, interaction strengths, temperatures, and spatial lattice sizes. We supplement this data with several observations concerning general trends in the data, including the dependence on spatial volume and how this can be probed by examining decoupled clusters, the scaling of the sign in the vicinity of a particle-hole symmetric point, and the correlation between the total sign and the signs for the individual spin species.
Oscillating modulation to B-mode polarization from varying propagating speed of primordial gravitational waves

description: In low-energy effective string theory and modified gravity theories, the propagating speed $c_T$ of primordial gravitational waves may deviate from unity. We find that the step-like variation of $c_T$ during slow-roll inflation may result in an oscillating modulation to the B-mode polarization spectrum, which can hardly be imitated by adjusting other cosmological parameters, and the intensity of the modulation is determined by the dynamics of $c_T$. Thus provided that the foreground contribution is under control, high-precision CMB polarization observations will be able to put tight constraint on the variation of $c_T$, and so the corresponding theories.

description: Semantic localization (SeLo) refers to the task of obtaining the most relevant locations in large-scale remote sensing (RS) images using semantic information such as text. As an emerging task based on cross-modal retrieval, SeLo achieves semantic-level retrieval with only caption-level annotation, which demonstrates its great potential in unifying downstream tasks. Although SeLo has been carried out successively, but there is currently no work has systematically explores and analyzes this urgent direction. In this paper, we thoroughly study this field and provide a complete benchmark in terms of metrics and testdata to advance the SeLo task. Firstly, based on the characteristics of this task, we propose multiple discriminative evaluation metrics to quantify the performance of the SeLo task. The devised significant area proportion, attention shift distance, and discrete attention distance are utilized to evaluate the generated SeLo map from pixel-level and region-level. Next, to provide standard evaluation data for the SeLo task, we contribute a diverse, multi-semantic, multi-objective Semantic Localization Testset (AIR-SLT). AIR-SLT consists of 22 large-scale RS images and 59 test cases with different semantics, which aims to provide a comprehensive evaluations for retrieval models. Finally, we analyze the SeLo performance of RS cross-modal retrieval models in detail, explore the impact of different variables on this task, and provide a complete benchmark for the SeLo task. We have also established a new paradigm for RS referring expression comprehension, and demonstrated the great advantage of SeLo in semantics through combining it with tasks such as detection and road extraction. The proposed evaluation metrics, semantic localization testsets, and corresponding scripts have been open to access at github.com/xiaoyuan1996/SemanticLocalizationMetrics .

description: We cross-correlate foreground cleaned Planck Nominal Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps with two templates constructed from the Two-Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey of galaxies. The first template traces the large-scale filamentary distribution characteristic of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) out to ~90 Mpc/h. The second traces preferentially the virialized gas in unresolved halos around galaxies. We find a marginal signal from the correlation of Planck data and the WHIM template with a signal-to-noise from 0.84 to 1.39 at the different Planck frequencies, and with a frequency dependence compatible with the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect. When we restrict our analysis to the 60% of the sky outside the plane of the Galaxy and known point sources and galaxy clusters, the cross-correlation at zero lag is 0.064 +/- 0.051 muK. The correlation extends out to ~6 deg, which at the median depth of our template corresponds to a physical length of ~ 6-8 Mpc/h. On the same fraction of the sky, the cross-correlation of the CMB data with the second template is <0.17 muK (95% C.L.), providing no statistically significant evidence of a contribution from bound gas to the previous result. This limit translates into a physical constraint on the properties of the shock-heated WHIM of a log-normal model describing the weakly nonlinear density field. We find that our upper limit is compatible with a fraction of 45% of all baryons residing in filaments at overdensities ~1-100 and with temperatures in the range 10^4.5-10^7.5 K, in agreement with the detection at redshift z~0.5 of van Waerbeke et al. (2014).

Subjects: subject: 650 Management

description: This master thesis investigates effective leadership behaviour of multicultural teams during change management. Multicultural teams can be highly effective in dealing with complex change processes and can represent a key player to tackle today’s VUCA-world challenges. Effectiveness of multicultural teams during change depends critically on leadership with a range of specific behaviours. Involvement and support of the employees in a coaching role is key. Leaders need to display behaviours such as continuous development of cultural and emotional intelligence, critical self-reflection, open-mindedness, and readiness to serve as authentic role models. Furthermore, the creation of a sense of unity based on good communication and common sense is essential to build multicultural teams, and to enable them to embrace their differences as opportunity. Trust, transparency and a holistic change process are vital. Effectiveness essentially depends on the following factors: the organization’s culture, the characteristics of the employees and of their leader, and on the external environment. Leaders should take these factors into consideration at all times.

description: In multi-component systems, several rogue waves can be simultaneously excited using simple initial conditions in the form of a plane wave with a small amplitude single-peak perturbation. This is in drastic contrast with the case of multi-rogue waves of a single nonlinear Schrödinger equation (or other evolution equations) that require highly specific initial conditions to be used. This possibility arises due to the higher variety of rogue waves in multi-components systems each with individual eigenvalue of the inverse scattering technique. In theory, we expand the limited class of Peregrine-type solutions to a much larger family of non-degenerate rogue waves. The results of our work may explain the increased chances of appearance of rogue waves in crossing sea states (wind generated ocean gravity waves that form nonparallel wave systems along the water surface) as well as provide new possibilities of rogue wave observation in a wide range of multi-component physical systems such as multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates, multi-component plasmas and in birefringent optical fibres.

Sharing out the land of the Northumbrians: exploring Scandinavian settlement in eastern Yorkshire through -bý place-names and township boundaries (part two)

description: Medieval Settlement Research, 36, 4-17
description: The extent and character of Scandinavian settlement in the Danelaw have been debated for over half a century by place-name scholars, historians and archaeologists. This article, the second of three, explores some of the key issues through detailed studies of rural communities in eastern Yorkshire, focusing on place-names ending in -b3 and the character of the township territories to which these names were applied. Building on the conclusions of the previous article in the series, it identifies different patterns of -b3 township, and argues that these differences can be explained by the stage reached in the formation of rural communities at the point at which they were disrupted by Scandinavian settlement.
Shrunken settlements in west Shropshire: the All Souls 1602 map of Alberbury

description: Medieval Settlement Research, 36, 40-48
description: The outstanding collection of late Elizabethan estate surveys held by All Souls College, Oxford, have been utilised by historians, particularly to illustrate the medieval open-field systems of the English Midlands. The college's map of their estate at Alberbury in western Shropshire from 1602 offers a different perspective, for it shows a significant number of hamlets within the parish, many of which have now been reduced to single farms or gentry houses. Revisiting the assessment of the area laid out in the Victoria County History in 1968, this paper highlights the issues of integrating documentary references into the landscape and also seeks to emphasise the value of early cartography in visualising that landscape. Taking a broader view of Shropshire, this and other seventeenth-century manuscript maps seem to suggest that the shrunken settlements may be more a feature of the more hilly western and southern portions of the county.

description: For centuries, companies and institutions are working on the development of organisational project maturity models. The purpose of these models is to develop a path for improving an organisation’s capability of managing projects. Projects are the means by which companies implement their strategic objectives. Trends like globalisation and advances in IT lead to more geographically distributed teamwork. Therefore, this thesis gives a comprehensive answer to how project management maturity models address transnational project management. For accomplishing the research objective, this thesis follows an integrated, qualitative literature review approach. Theoretical frameworks and applied research on project management maturity assessments were systematically collected and analysed. The results extracted from these two sources were synthesised to extract findings. The main research result shows that models continuously adapt to transnational project management. They are doing this by aligning the organisational culture and values, focusing on organisational wide learning and gradually embedding behavioural and intercultural competencies. Maturity assessments need to follow this trend. Furthermore, transnational convergence of the models’ dimensions was observed. This development leads to growth in size and complexity. To apply them internationally, the models should be simplified or easily adapted to specific countries and cultures.

Subjects: subject: 650 Management

description: The workplaces are changing with the increase in the use of technology, digital communication, the shift towards multicultural teams, and remote work due to COVID-19. Leaders need more collaboration and acceptance of digital communication tools such as Teams, Slack. This study aims to determine the influence of culture in the acceptance of digital tools in leadership communication. In the literature review, 3 cultures (organizational, national, Individual) were assumed. And Individual culture was tested using Schwartz (openness to change) value survey along with other qualitative questions in 1-1 interviews of Austrians and multinationals living in Austria. Analysis from findings suggests that culture plays an important role in technology acceptance of digital tools in leadership communication. This was confirmed by the Schein model and Schwartz value ratings. The culture comprises of organizational, national, regional, and individual culture. Individual culture plays an important role, but other cultural factors cannot be avoided. Key factors affecting the technology acceptance in Vorarlberg (Austria) are listed along with recommendations to leaders.

description: Ethnoculture, intangible heritage plays an essential role in contemporary Lithuanian society and the creation of contemporary Lithuanian identities. One important question is: why and how do contemporary people engage with ethnoculture: tradition, objects, artefacts, information or knowledge? This question is investigated here from the perspective of theoretical considerations based on Yuri Lotman's semiosphere theory (cf. Lotman, J. (2001). Universe of the Mind: A Semiotic Theory of Culture. London: I.B.Tauris), and theoretical frameworks of "invented traditions" (cf. Hobsbawm, E., & Ranger, T. (Eds.). (2012). The invention of tradition. London and Cambridge: Cambridge University Press) and "creative ethnicity" (cf. Stern, S. and Cicala, J.A. (Eds.), (1991). Creative Ethnicity: Symbols and Strategies of Ethnic Life. Logan: Utah University Press). Based on these theoretical considerations, we use qualitative content analysis of Facebook messages and threads related to ethnoculture in the Lithuanian language to outline the structure of the field of ethnoculture, intangible heritage and SNS communities in Lithuania.

description: Wireless Networks-on-Chip (WNoCs) are regarded as a disruptive alternative to conventional interconnection networks at the chip scale, yet limited by the relatively low aggregate bandwidth of such wireless networks. Hence, any method to increase the amount of concurrent channels in this scenario is of high value. In this direction, and since WNoC implies close integration of multiple antennas on a chip anyway, in this paper we present a feasibility study of compact monopole antenna arrays in a flip-chip environment at millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequencies. By means of a full-wave solver, we evaluate the feasibility to create, at will, concentrations of field in different spots of the chip. This way, we set the steps towards spatial multiplexing that enables concurrent multicast communications and also increases the aggregate bandwidth of the wireless network. Our results at 60 GHz show two clearly separable parallel channels that radiate simultaneously from two opposite corners of the chip, achieving a Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) of around 40 dB, which proves that the channels are independent of each other even in such an enclosed environment. Further, we see potential to expand our approach to three or more concurrent channels, and to frequencies beyond 100 GHz.

description: IceCube has measured a diffuse astrophysical flux of TeV-PeV neutrinos. The most plausible sources are unique high energy cosmic ray accelerators like hypernova remnants (HNRs) and remnants from gamma ray bursts in star-burst galaxies, which can produce primary cosmic rays with the required energies and abundance. In this case, however, ordinary supernova remnants (SNRs), which are far more abundant than HNRs, produce a comparable or larger neutrino flux in the ranges up to 100-150 TeV energies, implying a spectral break in the IceCube signal around these energies. The SNRs contribution in the diffuse flux up to these hundred TeV energies provides a natural baseline and then constrains the expected PeV flux.

description: How people perceive stigmatization at work in connection with mental health problems and what role this stigmatization fulfils in the DACH-Region, means Germany-Austria-Switzerland, has so far received no greater attention from scientists. Although the stigma of mental illness has been extensively researched among the general population, little is known about its consequences of the stigma of mental health in the workplace. This study seeks to bridge the gap in this area. As the purpose of this thesis is to illustrate the dynamics of stigmatization rather than to explain its mere quantitative relevance, I have chosen to investigate how the complex systemic interdependencies according to Forrester (1968) manifest in the reflection of the subjects. On the background of socio-cultural aspects in the DACH-Region regarding mental health problems and forms and natures of stigma while following the question what role stigmatization plays in this German-speaking area DACH, I conducted a qualitative social research study with affected persons (employees from various German companies) to investigate this issue. Hereby I focus on people working in the industry sector. The present thesis begins by exploring the question of intercultural and sociocultural differences in the DACH region according to Hofstede’s Dimensions, as well as their possible relevance for answering the research question. Definitions and theoretical interpretations regarding the backgrounds about mental health, mental health problems and their appearance will be mentioned. Based on Goffman’s (1963) research on stigma, I investigate why mental health issues have the potential to stigmatize especially at the workplace. Goffman’s ideas on stigma illustrate how by providing important insights into understanding the situation of affected persons. The connection between stereotypes, stigmatization, and discriminatory behaviour according to Major & O’Brien (2005) is hereby necessary to be noticed. Through personal interviews I explore how, what way, people at work perceive stigmatization surrounding mental health problems and how stigmas interact. The findings conducted in this study give a cue towards the systemic approach of stigmatization. That is why a new hypothesis on the ways of stigmatization in German-speaking countries is drawn up. Stigmatization is under investigation as a systemic instrument for maintaining management and group power to affect single employees and restore group identity, consciously or unconsciously. I discuss the theoretical and practical implications of these findings for management behaviour and leadership development in organizations.
Multicultural food tradition of the Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth as a 'brick of identity' in contemporary Lithuania

Subjects: Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, foof tradition, gastronomy, identity

description: Discussions about gastronomic identity, national heritage, and gastronomic nationalism are among the most active and popular in contemporary public discourse (online media and social networks). The increased popularity of the topics has been spurred by the growth of the importance of various identities in the contemporary Network society (Castells, 2006; Dijk, 1999). As an intangible heritage, gastronomic culture has great potential to be the basis for constructing different identities. On the other hand, being a form of intangible heritage makes gastronomic culture a carrier of ideas, linking past and present societies. In this way, heritage is "contemporized" (Smith, 2006), transformed into an element of contemporary culture. Intangible heritage works in society through tangible representations. In gastronomic culture, dishes are one of the most visible representations. This study, therefore, focuses on them. The main questions of this study are: (i) which dishes, inherited from the tradition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, are popular in contemporary Lithuania; (ii) to what extent are these dishes important in the construction of contemporary Lithuanian gastronomic identity? The study involved a qualitative content analysis of discussions on the history of gastronomy and gastronomic culture in the Lithuanian language on the social network Facebook. The study identified a group of dishes that are important to modern Lithuanian society and are inherited from the gastronomic tradition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (e.g. meat rolls / zrazai / zrazy; cold soup / šaltibarščiai / chłodnik; bagel / beigelis / bajgiel). However, when these dishes are used to construct a contemporary gastronomic identity, they are not associated with the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The most frequent relationships are with the gastronomy of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (part of the Commonwealth), the manor and city gastronomy, and the gastronomy of Lithuanian ethnic communities.

description: We numerically investigate the erosion potential of a cavitating liquid jet by means of high-resolution finite volume simulations. As thermodynamic model, we employ a barotropic equilibrium cavitation approach, embedded into a homogeneous mixture model. To resolve the effects of collapsing vapor structures and to estimate the erosion potential, full compressibility is considered. Two different operating points featuring different cavitation intensities are investigated and their erosion potential is estimated and compared. Different methods are used for this purpose, including collapse detection (Mihatsch et al., 2015), maximum pressure distribution on the wall, and a new method of generating numerical pit equivalents. The data of numerical pit equivalents is analyzed in detail and compared with experimental data from the literature. Furthermore, a comprehensive grid study for both operating points is presented.

description: La consulenza filosofica può creare un dialogo aperto e impregiudicato tra le scienze tecnologico-scientifiche riguardanti l'essere umano e le scienze storico-filosofiche che intendono incrementare l'autonoma capacità di scelta. Originato dall'eredità di Michel Foucault e Hannah Arendt, il saggio intende recuperare un futuro andando dietro al concetto moderno di progresso. Il soggetto del futuro è perciò strettamente collegato alla libertà individuale e alla responsabilità morale.

description: Small cell networks (SCNs) have attracted great attention in recent years due to their potential to meet the exponential growth of mobile data traffic and the increasing demand for better quality of service and user experience in mobile applications. Nevertheless, a wide deployment of SCNs has not happened yet because of the complexity in the network planning and optimization, as well as the high expenditure involved in deployment and operation. In particular, it is difficult to provide grid power supply to all the small cell base stations (SCBSs) in a cost effective way. Moreover, a dense deployment of SCBSs, which is needed to meet the capacity and coverage of the next generation wireless networks, will increase operators' electricity bills and lead to significant carbon emission. Thus, it is crucial to exploit off-grid and green energy sources to power SCNs, for which energy harvesting (EH) technology is a viable solution. In this article, we will conduct a comprehensive study of EH-SCNs, and investigate important aspects, including the feasibility analysis, network deployment, and network operation issues. The advantages, as well as unique challenges, of EH-SCNs will be highlighted, together with potential solutions and effective design methodologies.

Subjects: subject: 331 Arbeitsökonomie

description: The boom of information technology development created high demand for skilled labour force in IT occupations. IT professionals install, test, build, repair or maintain hardware and software and can do the job from any location in the world. Demand for the workforce significantly outstrips the global supply. In a situation of staff shortage employers have to compete on local and global labour markets. The ability of a firm to attract and retain the best talent would become a source of its sustainable competitive advantage. Aim of the study is to understand what influences perception of employment attractiveness by IT professionals the most. This study intends to expend the existing knowledge about employees´ needs and “psychological contract” concept. The research was conducted with the participation of 4 IT and 4 HR English-speaking experts who live and work in Austria. In the study the grounded theory approach and the descriptive qualitative methods were applied. The research findings explain which factors influence the decision of IT professionals to join, stay or leave an employer. The results are discussed in relation to talent attraction and retention practices of Austrian employers.

description: Background: A study in JAMA Neurology of the effect of high school football exposure on cognition at age 72 did not detect a significant effect. Using newly available data at the later age of 81, we look for such an effect at an age when cognitive decline is substantially more common. Methods and Analysis: We propose a longitudinal observational study with 1155 high school graduates after exclusion criteria. 426 of these graduates played football in high school and 729 did not. The primary outcome is a combination of two measures collected in the 2020 wave of the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS). One component is a recently developed measure of cognitive functioning, the "Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified" (TICSm) score. The second component is a consensus diagnosis made after a longer interview of participants who performed poorly in terms of the TICSm score. A new matching method is created in order to construct triples of either one football player and two controls or two football players and one control such that the measured covariates are balanced within triples of each type. Such a design has greater design sensitivity than one which also allows matched pairs. We will use the "aberrant rank statistic" to evaluate cognitive scores outside the normal range. Additionally, we will conduct a secondary analysis on the TICSm score alone. The sensitivity of these analyses to unmeasured biases will be assessed. Finally, we will consider two unaffected outcomes, periodontitis and cancer, in an effort to detect unmeasured biases. Discussion: This study, to the best of our knowledge, is the first prospective longitudinal study to look at the effects of high school football at such a late age of 81.

description: In this work, Higgs couplings with gauge bosons is probed through $e^-e^+ \rightarrow W^-W^+H$ in an effective Lagrangian framework. An ILC of 500 $GeV$ center of mass energy with possible beam polarization is considered for this purpose. The reach of ILC with integrated luminosity of 300 $fb^{-1}$ in the determination of both the CP-conserving and CP-violating parameters are obtained. Sensitivity of the probe of each of these couplings on the presence of other couplings is investigated. The most influential couplings parameters are $\bar c_W=-\bar c_B$. Other parameters of significant effect are $\bar c_{HW}$ and $\bar c_{HB}$ among the CP-conserving ones, and $\tilde c_{HW}$ and $\tilde c_{HB}$ among the CP-violating ones. CP-violating parameter, $\tilde c_γ$ seems to have very little influence on the process considered. Detailed study of the angular distributions have presented a way to disentangle the effect of some of these couplings.
