description: Background and purpose — Total hip replacement (THR) aims mainly to improve quality of life via restoration of hip function and provision of pain relief. This study sought to assess whether improvements in quality of life between the preoperative and 1-year postoperative period were associated with patient satisfaction Patients and methods — Data were extracted for 69,083 THR operations with complete data reported to the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) between 2008 and 2015. Health-related quality of life and patient satisfaction were captured using the Euro-Qol-5D (EQ-5D) and visual analogue scale (VAS), respectively. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess associations between the changes in pre- and postoperative EQ5D and patient satisfaction. Results — In patients reporting severe or moderate problems with mobility preoperatively, improvement to no problems was associated with numerically higher patient satisfaction (coefficient –18 [95% CI –22 to –14] and –18 [–18 to –17]). Improvement in the self-care dimension from severe or moderate problems to no problems was associated with numerically higher patient satisfaction (–15 [–16 to –14] and –13 [–15 to –11]). Improvement from severe problems with the ability to perform usual activities to no problems was associated with numerically higher patient satisfaction (–18 [–19 to –17]). This association was also found for improvement in pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression (–16 [–17 to –15] and –15 [–16 to –14]). Interpretation — Our results indicate that satisfaction with the operated hip is a valid patient-reported outcome reflecting the changes in different EQ-5D dimensions and should be included in the follow-up of patients after THR surgery.

description: Halide perovskite solar cells, with rapid efficiency improvements from ~10% to ~23% in 6 years, have attracted significant attention due to their remarkable performance, low processing cost and their potential to become a strong alternative candidate to silicon solar cells. Significant development has also been achieved in halide perovskite-based LEDs with EQE improved from below 1% to ~20% in less than 4 years. This remarkable progress can mainly be attributed to the optimisation of halide perovskite properties. This dissertation focuses on the correlation between optical and electrical properties of halide perovskites and their remarkable performance. Bandgap tunabilities of halide perovskites in blue to green regions through mixing Br-and Cl-and in near infra-red region by substituting Pb2+ with Sn2+ are demonstrated. The absorption and PL spectra are consistent with each other supporting the bandgap tunability. Corresponding EL spectra, which are consistent with their PL spectra, are also demonstrated for blue to green regions. Terahertz measurements coupled with PLQE and transient PL results reveal that the high carrier mobilities are the main reason behind the high efficiency of tin-rich samples. A novel perovskite-polymer-bulk heterostructure is introduced and studied comprehensively. Correlations between their optoelectronic properties and remarkable performance on timescales ranging from femtosecond to microsecond are presented. Transient optical spectroscopy reveals the energy transfer from 2D regions to 3D regions happens in 1 ps. The 20% EQE of the LEDs based in this structure is consistent with conventional thin-film optical models giving internal quantum efficiency of ~100%. This in agreement with near-unity PLQE value of the pristine emissive layer material and the dominant bimolecular recombination process observed in nanosecond-scale transient PL measurements. Two typical interfacial engineering methods to improve the quality of halide perovskite and device performance are then presented. Optimised NiOx is adopted to improve the anode interface. From transient photovoltaic measurements, we find the charge collection ability of NiOx is superior to that of PEDOT:PSS. This is also the main reason behind their better photovoltaic device performance. A unique anti-solvent treatment with additive modifies both the bulk and surfaces of halide perovskites and improves the device performance significantly. Transient PL and PLQE measurements demonstrate that non-radiative recombination pathways are significantly reduced.

description: Among the different platforms for quantum information processing, individual electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots stand out for their long coherence times and potential for scalable fabrication. The past years have witnessed substantial progress in the capabilities of spin qubits. However, coupling between distant electron spins, which is required for quantum error correction, presents a challenge, and this goal remains the focus of intense research. Quantum teleportation is a canonical method to transmit qubit states, but it has not been implemented in quantum-dot spin qubits. Here, we present evidence for quantum teleportation of electron spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots. Although we have not performed quantum state tomography to definitively assess the teleportation fidelity, our data are consistent with conditional teleportation of spin eigenstates, entanglement swapping, and gate teleportation. Such evidence for all-matter spin-state teleportation underscores the capabilities of exchange-coupled spin qubits for quantum-information transfer.

description: This study explores the use of coal char (CC) as a byproduct from pyrolysis in varying percentages as a cement reducer and an additive in concrete. The research examines the physical, microstructural, and mechanical properties of concrete mixes. The heat of cement hydration curve indicated that CC accelerates the cement hydration process. Increasing CC has minor changes in concrete workability and does not substantially affect concrete density. Compressive strength improved by about 28% with 0.5% CC in both scenarios over the control mix. Flexural and splitting tensile strengths showed improvement, particularly at lower percentages of CC. The modulus of elasticity exhibited constant performance around 0.25% to 0.75% CC. The key finding is that an optimal CC content of 0.5% led to the highest strength gains in both scenarios. The overall results indicate that incorporating CC at <1% by weight of cement enhances the mechanical and microstructural properties of concrete.

description: For the long standing low mass puzzle of $Λ_c(2940)^+$, we propose an unquenched picture. Our calculation explicitly shows that the mass of the $Λ_c(2P,3/2^-)$ state can be lowered down to be consistent with the experimental data of $Λ_c(2940)^+$ by introducing the $D^*N$ channel contribution. Additionally, we give a semi-quantitative analysis to illustrate why the $Λ_c(2940)^+$ state has a narrow width. It means that the low mass puzzle of $Λ_c(2940)^+$ can be solved. What is more important is that we predict a mass inversion relation for the $2P$ $Λ_{c}^+$ states, i.e., the $Λ_c(2P,1/2^-)$ state is higher than the $Λ_c(2P,3/2^-)$, which is totally different from the result of conventional quenched quark model. It provides a criterion to test such an unquenched scenario for $Λ_c(2940)^+$. We expect the future experimental progress from the LHCb and Belle II.

description: The research presented in this dissertation involves a quantitative study of mathematics teachers' knowledge of formative assessment. Formative assessment is understood as a process in which both teachers and students actively become the agents of the process, responsible for their own knowledge and practice. In this process, formally gathered evidence is used to formulate feedback and inform decisions; and informal evidence (e.g. observation, conversations) is used to generate teacher and peer-feedback to improve learning (Hargreaves, 2005; Wiliam & Leahy, 2015). The focus of the study is on mathematics teachers in state secondary schools in the Brazilian Federal District. The research design employs survey methodology with a structured e-questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed based on six domains of knowledge extracted from existing research literature. The several piloting phases, and a field test conducted with a larger sample, demonstrate the validity and reliability of the instrument and provide information about mathematics teachers' knowledge of formative assessment. The evidence shows that teachers in the Federal District did relatively better in terms of interpreting evidence of students' learning and helping students to use assessment information. On the other hand, they had a relatively lower performance in terms of choosing/developing assessment methods (e.g. classroom activities, discussions) to elicit evidence of students' learning. The overall performance of teachers in the Federal District was lower than that of teachers sampled from the other states of Brazil. The original contribution of this research is methodological in the development, piloting and application of a new instrument to assess mathematics teachers' knowledge of formative assessment; and to knowledge in providing information and a unique insight into Brazilian mathematics teachers' knowledge of formative assessment. There are important implications for policy and practice, focussing on teachers' professional development with regards to formative assessment and clarifying Brazilian teachers' roles as assessors.

description: Argan oil is widely used as an active ingredient of dermo-cosmetic products. Its high demand has led to an increase adulteration with varying amounts of inexpensive herbal oils. The quality control of argan oil is one of the most important issues for pharmaceutical companies. In this study,1H-NMR-based metabolomics study was used as a fast and non-destructive technique to detect adulteration. Argan seeds and oil were purchased from pharmacies and stores. The results showed that pure argan oil doesn’t contain α-linolenic acid, while it is present in varying amounts in most herbal oils. A number of argan oils that were purchased from the market or pharmacies, despite the manufacturer’s claim that the argan oil is 100% pure with no additives in the final product, had impurities especially in aromatic regions. This is the first attempt to demonstrate that the 1H-NMR-based metabolomics study can successfully apply to detect argan oil adulteration.

description: 1. This study investigated the impact of melatonin and LPS on goose growth and the intestinal microbiome. 2. Geese were injected with a control solution (C), LPS solution (L), melatonin solution (M), and both LPS and melatonin solution (LM), respectively. Faecal samples from each group were used to analyse microbial diversity and function for geese with different treatments. 3. The results showed that the M group had a little improvement in growth compared with the C group, but were much higher than the L and LM groups. A clear distinction between M and other groups was seen with regard to alpha and beta diversity in the biome. The dominant bacteria phyla were Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria spp. in all groups. Unclassified bacteria were dominant in all groups at the genus level. Significant KEGG enrichment pathways in the M group were involved in processing metabolism and genetic information, while the L group was related to processing metabolism and environmental information. 4. This study provided a foundation for future studies targeting the specific effect of important bacterial populations on goose growth performance.

description: This thesis is a political history of the trials of wartime collaborators in Norway after 1945. It offers a first scholarly investigation into the central actors behind these trials, looking at the ways in which Norwegian authorities planned, implemented and interpreted the ‘reckoning’ with wartime collaborators between 1941 and 1964. In doing so, it evaluates the broader political purposes the trials served, how these changed over time, and the mechanisms that brought about these changes. The analysis distinguishes between ‘internal’ and ‘external’ influences on the trials. ‘Internal’ influences are understood to be both the inherent doctrinal and institutional limitations of the law, as well as the personal and political convictions found within the authorities that governed the trials. ‘External’ influences meanwhile constitute the broader public attitudes and debates surrounding the trials in politics, the media and civil society. This thesis therefore seeks to deepen our understanding of the trials in two ways. Firstly, it goes beyond existing scholarship by focusing not on questions of ‘morality’ and ‘justice’, but instead on competing institutional dynamics and political representations of legitimacy and authority. Secondly, unlike most previous scholarship, it provides an encompassing account of the policy decisions underlying the trials by looking at the full timespan of the Norwegian authorities’ administrative engagement with them, from their initial conceptualisation to the handling of their legacy. Thereby, individual decisions and events can be seen in relation to one another, allowing us to understand what purposes the trials served at different stages of their implementation, and how legal and administrative measures related to their political purposes. In response to previous scholarship on the trials, this thesis argues that the driving agent of the trials was not the static agenda of any one institution or group, but that their final shape was the result of the complex interaction of demands for legal consistency with a rapidly changing political and social context, both at the national and the international level.

The Hierarchical Origin of Galaxy Morphologies

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report first results from a series of N-body/gasdynamical simulations designed to study the origin of galaxy morphologies in a cold dark matter-dominated universe. The simulations include star formation and feedback and have numerical resolution sufficiently high to allow for a direct investigation of the morphology of simulated galaxies. We find, in agreement with previous theoretical work, that the presence of the main morphological components of galaxies--disks, spheroids, bars--is regulated by the mode of gas accretion and intimately linked to discrete accretion events. In the case we present, disks arise from the smooth deposition of cooled gas at the center of dark halos, spheroids result from the stirring of preexisting disks during mergers, and bars are triggered by tides generated by satellites. This demonstrates that morphology is a transient phenomenon within the lifetime of a galaxy and that the Hubble sequence reflects the varied accretion histories of galaxies in hierarchical formation scenarios. In particular, we demonstrate directly that disk/bulge systems can be built and rebuilt by the smooth accretion of gas onto the remnant of a major merger and that the present-day remnants of late dissipative mergers between disks are spheroidal stellar systems with structure resembling that of field ellipticals. The perplexing variety of galaxy morphologies is thus highly suggestive of--and may actually even demand--a universe where structures have evolved hierarchically.

description: Recently, charge density fluctuations or charge fluxes attract strong interests in understanding the unconventional superconductivity. In this paper, a new emergent configuration in cuprates is identified by density functional theory simulations, called the charge pseudoplane, which exhibits the property of confining the dynamic charge fluxes for higher superconducting transition temperatures. It further redefines the fundamental collective excitation in cuprates as pQon with the momentum-dependent and ultrafast localization-delocalization duality. It is shown that both pseudogap and superconducting phases can be born from and intertwined through the charge flux confinement property of the charge pseudoplane region. Our experimental simulations based on the new picture provide good agreements with previous angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy results. Our work thus opens a new perspective on the origin of pseudogap phase and other related phases in cuprates, and further provides a critical descriptor to search and design higher temperature superconductors.

description: Use of land, as a limited resource is gaining importance due to the rapid growth of Earth’s population, the subsequently increasing demand for energy and the presumed impact of climate changes. Despite of the land being a specific resource, as lots of experiences confirm, in most of the countries, as in Hungary, it is not managed optimally. It is a question whether the optimum balance can be reached between different land utilization and production methods and not harming food supply safety but improving the competitiveness of agriculture, decreasing the energy dependence and avoiding an excessive use of soils. The paper analyses the impact of energy crop production on land utilization in Hungary. The current production and technology on the available land cannot satisfy the total energy need by bioenergy. But if land is used which is not cultivated at present due to economic reasons and the possibilities of by-products available in great quantities are exploited, the Hungary’s EU commitment can be fulfilled by 2020 and the country will not risk food production losses or modify the land use considerably.

description: The objective of the present study has been to evaluate changes in the number of sales and in the area of land real estate, including agricultural and forest land, bought by foreigners in 2000-2010, and also in the land real estate acquired via transactions such as acquisition or taking hold of stocks and shares in companies which had been owners or perpetual users of real estate. The authors have used secondary data from the Ministry of Interior and Administration, the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Food Economy, the Agricultural Property Agency (APA) and the Ministry for Agriculture and Rural Development. Most agricultural and forest land and other types of real estate sale transactions were concluded in 2007. In 2000-2010, foreigners bought land real property with total acreage of 37,588.57 hectare. Since 2008, a dynamic increase has been observable in the area of land property purchased through transactions of acquisition or taking hold of stocks and shares by foreigners in companies which had been owners or perpetual users of real estate (in 2006-2010, foreigners bought 75.4% of the total area of land bought in this way). In 2000-2010 foreigners acquired in total 65,731.79 hectare of land real estate in Poland, while the total area of land sold from the resources of APA during the same time period was 1,228,000 hectare.

In this work, we identified an N-aryl sulphonamide-quinazoline derivative, compound 9i as an anti-gastric cancer agent, which exhibited potent antiproliferative ability with IC50 values of 0.36 μM (MGC-803 cells), 0.70 μM (HCT-116 cells), 1.04 μM (PC-3 cells), and 0.81 μM (MCF-7 cells), respectively and inhibited YAP activity by the activation of p-LATS. Compound 9i was effective in suppressing MGC-803 xenograft tumour growth in nude mice without obvious toxicity and significantly down-regulated the expression of YAP in vivo. Compound 9i arrested cells in the G2/M phase, induced intrinsic apoptosis, and inhibited cell colony formation in MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells. Therefore, compound 9i is to be reported as an anti-gastric cancer agent via activating the Hippo signalling pathway and might help foster a new strategy for the cancer treatment by activating the Hippo signalling pathway regulatory function to inhibit the activity of YAP.

description: As one of the longest running disputes on the United Nations agenda, the conventional wisdom holds that the UN’s position on the question of Palestine offers the only normative basis of a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians grounded in international law. Contrary to this position, this dissertation argues that there has been a continuing though vacillating gulf between the requirements of international law and the position of the UN, which has inevitably frustrated rather than facilitated the search for a just and lasting peace. To this end, the research examines a number of areas in which the UN has assumed a leading role in the question of Palestine since 1947. It critically explores the tensions that exist between the positions adopted by the Organization on the one hand, and various requirements of prevailing international law on the other. If the UN has failed to respect the normative framework of international law in its management of the question of Palestine, what forms has this taken? How long has it persisted? What are the implications, not only on the Palestinian people – whose contemporary leadership has long had faith in the UN as the forum within which their international legal entitlements must be pressed – but also on the Organization itself? By addressing these questions, the research critically interrogates the received wisdom regarding the UN’s fealty to the international rule of law, in favour of what more accurately might be described as an international rule by law. It demonstrates that through the actions of the Organization, Palestine and its people have been committed to a state of what the author calls International Legal Subalternity, according to which the promise of justice through international law has been repeatedly proffered under a cloak of political legitimacy furnished by the international community, but its realization interminably withheld.

description: Antihypertensive medications may have some impacts on cancer. The influence of antihypertensive medications, including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and diuretics, on patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) remains controversial. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate whether antihypertensive medications had a negative effect on the prognosis of patients with PC. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library databases were searched up to 30 November 2021. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate the quality of each study. This meta-analysis was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021279169) and was carried out by using RevMan 5.3. Twelve studies with 120,549 patients were included in this study. ACEIs/ARBs [HR = 0.89, 95% CI (0.70–1.14)], CCB (HR = 0.69, 95% CI (0.47–0.99)], beta-blockers [HR = 0.95, 95% CI (0.84–1.07)] and diuretics [HR = 1.08, 95% CI (0.91–1.29)] use had no effects on overall survival among patients with PC (all P ≥ 0.05). Antihypertensive medication will not have a negative effect on overall survival in patients with PC. PC patients with hypertension should continue to use antihypertensive medications to reduce the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular events.
Symbiosis Promotes Fitness Improvements in the Game of Life

description: We present a computational simulation of evolving entities that includes symbiosis with shifting levels of selection. Evolution by natural selection shifts from the level of the original entities to the level of the new symbiotic entity. In the simulation, the fitness of an entity is measured by a series of one-on-one competitions in the Immigration Game, a two-player variation of Conway's Game of Life. Mutation, reproduction, and symbiosis are implemented as operations that are external to the Immigration Game. Because these operations are external to the game, we are able to freely manipulate the operations and observe the effects of the manipulations. The simulation is composed of four layers, each layer building on the previous layer. The first layer implements a simple form of asexual reproduction, the second layer introduces a more sophisticated form of asexual reproduction, the third layer adds sexual reproduction, and the fourth layer adds symbiosis. The experiments show that a small amount of symbiosis, added to the other layers, significantly increases the fitness of the population. We suggest that the model may provide new insights into symbiosis in biological and cultural evolution.

description: Landslides, movement of soil and rock under the influence of gravity, are common phenomena that cause significant human and economic losses every year. Experts use heterogeneous features such as slope, elevation, land cover, lithology, rock age, and rock family to predict landslides. To work with such features, we adapted convolutional neural networks to consider relative spatial information for the prediction task. Traditional filters in these networks either have a fixed orientation or are rotationally invariant. Intuitively, the filters should orient uphill, but there is not enough data to learn the concept of uphill; instead, it can be provided as prior knowledge. We propose a model called Locally Aligned Convolutional Neural Network, LACNN, that follows the ground surface at multiple scales to predict possible landslide occurrence for a single point. To validate our method, we created a standardized dataset of georeferenced images consisting of the heterogeneous features as inputs, and compared our method to several baselines, including linear regression, a neural network, and a convolutional network, using log-likelihood error and Receiver Operating Characteristic curves on the test set. Our model achieves 2-7% improvement in terms of accuracy and 2-15% boost in terms of log likelihood compared to the other proposed baselines.

description: A high decline in employment was one of the negative consequences of economic transformation in Hungary in the past few decades. The activity of rural population continues to decrease in the EU. Agriculture has a very special role in forming the employment. The aim of the research is to examine chararcteristics, trends, changes of qualification and skills of employees working in Hungarian agriculture in the period from accessing to the EU till nowadays. The education of employees in agriculture despite of distinct improvement is still low. The majority of producers manage their company with only practical experience or even without it. The lack of sufficient expertise makes farmers be less receptive to innovative solutions, insist more on production methods based on their previous experience, thereby inhibiting popularisation of the modern, competitive technologies. For the competitive and efficient agricultural production, the human capital, appropriate skills and educational attainments are essential, they can help the agricultural sector to catch up with the more developed West.

description: The multi-group cross-section generation capability for neutrons is implemented in the FRENDY nuclear data processing code. ACE-formatted files are used as the source of nuclear data instead of ENDF-formatted files since FRENDY already has the capability to generate pointwise cross sections in the ACE format. The several distinguished features are implemented for the multi-group generation capability, e.g. explicit consideration of resonance interference effect among nuclides, enhanced resonance treatment for various nuclear reactions, and accurate numerical integration of thermal cross sections. Verification calculations of the newly implemented capability are carried out through the comparison with the NJOY nuclear data processing code. Cross-section generations for all nuclides in JENDL-4.0, -4.0u, -5α4, ENDF/B-VII.1, -VIII.0, JEFF-3.3, and TENDL-2019 are carried out without unexpected processing issues, except for Pu-238 of TENDL-2019 that includes inconsistent data. The verification results indicate that the multi-group cross sections generated by FRENDY are consistent with those generated by NJOY. Now FRENDY can generate not only the pointwise cross sections for continuous energy Monte-Carlo codes but also the multi-group cross sections for deterministic neutronics analysis codes.
