description: We show that excited-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) in a system in which the parity symmetry is broken can be used to engineer an energy-cat state -- a Schrödinger cat state involving a quantum superposition of both different positions and energies. By means of a generalization of the Rabi model, we show that adding a parity-breaking term annihilates the ground-state quantum phase transition between normal and superradiant phases, and induces the formation of three excited-state phases, all of them identified by means of an observable with two eigenvalues. In one of these phases, level crossings are observed in the thermodynamic limit. These allow us to separate a wavefunction in two parts: one, with lower energy, trapped within one region of the spectrum, and a second one, with higher energy, trapped within another. Finally, we show that a generalized microcanonical ensemble, including two different average energies, is required to properly describe equilibrium states in this situation. Our results illustrate yet another physical consequence of ESQPTs.

The Sundarbans, the World's Largest Tidal Halophytic Mangrove Forest: Its Economic and Ecological Significance (Bangla Version)
Creators: name: Zaman, M. S.
name: Chowdhury, Tabina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

The Sundarbans, located along the southwestern coast of Bangladesh and southeastern India, is a remarkable ecosystem characterized by extensive mangrove forests, marshlands, and waterways, spreading across approximately 10,000 square kilometers. This vast area is recognized as the world's largest tidal halophytic mangrove forest, known for its ability to thrive in warm, humid climates and its unique assortment of salt-resistant plant life. The Sundarbans mangroves are essential for the livelihoods of coastal communities, supporting fishing industries and offering resources like timber, fuel woods, honey, and medicinal plants. Moreover, the mangroves play a crucial role in coastal protection, shielding against cyclones, storm surges, tidal waves, and erosion. Additionally, the mangroves serve essential ecological functions, including carbon sequestration, and providing habitats for various plant and animal species. Despite the pivotal functions, the mangroves face significant threats from human activities, notably pollution, land use changes, and the impacts of climate change. The escalating demand for resources has led to extensive deforestation resulting in habitat degradation and a reduction in the Sundarbans' size. This review delves into the economic and ecological features of the Sundarbans, examining its landscapes, biodiversity, and the obstacles posed by resource exploitation, and climate change, while also considering potential strategies for mitigation.

Keywords: Sundarbans, mangrove forest, ecological and economic significance, climate change

description: We report on polarization combining 2D grating couplers (2D GCs) on amorphous Si:H, fabricated in the backend of line of a photonic BiCMOS platform. The 2D GCs can be used as an interface of a hybrid silicon photonic coherent transmitter, which can be implemented on bulk Si wafers. The fabricated 2D GCs operate in the telecom C-band and show an experimental coupling efficiency of -5 dB with a wafer variation of +/-1.2 dB. Possibilities for efficiency enhancement and improved performance stability in future design generations are outlined and extension towards O-band devices is investigated as well.

Installing and configuring a Proxy with SimpleSAMLphp on ILC4CLARIN Infrastructure for SSO with CLARIN SPF
Creators: name: Mallia, Michele
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This technical report provides a detailed guide for the installation, configuration, and integration of a Service Provider (SP) to enable federated authentication within the ILC4CLARIN infrastructure. Aimed at technical personnel, the document outlines all necessary steps to connect the SP to the DFN-AAI federation, ensuring secure and reliable access to services through a federated identity model.

At the core of the solution is SimpleSAMLphp, an open-source software that supports SAML-based identity federation, operating as both an Identity Provider (IdP) and Service Provider (SP). Its modular architecture allows for seamless integration with research and academic federations such as CLARIN, DFN-AAI, and eduGAIN. The configuration is metadata-driven, facilitating compatibility with a broad range of identity systems.

The report also introduces key concepts of federated authentication, where trust relationships between IdPs and SPs allow users to access multiple services using a single set of credentials. Authentication is routed through a discovery service that enables users to select their home institution, improving user experience and security.

The work is motivated by the need to integrate CLARIN's Single Sign-On (SSO) system into INCEpTION, a web-based platform for linguistic and semantic annotation developed at Technische Universität Darmstadt. Due to the complexity of direct integration with CLARIN’s discovery interface, a proxy-based authentication architecture was adopted. This approach, supported by Keycloak, consolidates multiple IdPs into a single authentication endpoint, streamlining the user login process while ensuring compatibility with the CLARIN federation.

This report focuses on configuring the Service Provider component. A companion document will provide further details on the complete proxy architecture.

The activity is part of the H2IOSC – Humanities and Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud project, funded under Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). The initiative promotes open science in the humanities by providing federated access to distributed infrastructures and services. Within this framework, CLARIN-IT, the Italian node of the CLARIN ERIC infrastructure, plays a key role in enabling secure, interoperable access to digital linguistic resources for researchers.

description: Im Verhältnis des Hauses zu Garten und Landschaft, zu Straße und Stadt haben die haben die traditionelle japanische und die europäische Baukunst sehr verschiedene Strategien der Vermittlung, der Öffnung, Rahmung oder Wegeführung entwickelt. Tür und Schwelle, Fenster und Veranda sind Orte des Übergangs, die mit Mitteln der Architektur definiert und gedeutet werden. Ihre Gestaltung beruht auf kulturellen Praktiken für den Umgang von Menschen untereinander und mit der Natur. Die Ausgestaltung von Grenzen kann in diesem Sinne als architektonische Kultur eines Landes betrachtet werden. In ihrer Ausformulierung in harter und weicher Form repräsentieren Grenzen nicht allein soziale Konventionen, sondern erzeugen in der bewussten Öffnung von Aus- und Einblicken (oder in deren inszenierte Verweigerung) Situationen für schöpferische Momente der Kontemplation. Bis heute wirkt das Erbe der traditionellen japanischen Architektur in Entwürfen moderner japanischer Architekten fort.

description: SLC17A9 (solute carrier family 17 member 9) functions as an ATP transporter in lysosomes as well as other secretory vesicles. SLC17A9 inhibition or silence leads to cell death. However, the molecular mechanisms causing cell death are unclear. In this study, we report that cell death induced by SLC17A9 deficiency is rescued by the transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master gene for lysosomal protein expression, suggesting that SLC17A9 deficiency may be the main cause of lysosome dysfunction, subsequently leading to cell death. Interestingly, Cathepsin D, a lysosomal aspartic protease, is inhibited by SLC17A9 deficiency. Heterologous expression of Cathepsin D successfully rescues lysosomal dysfunction and cell death induced by SLC17A9 deficiency. On the other hand, the activity of Cathepsin B, a lysosomal cysteine protease, is not altered by SLC17A9 deficiency, and Cathepsin B overexpression does not rescue lysosomal dysfunction and cell death induced by SLC17A9 deficiency. Our data suggest that lysosomal ATP and SLC17A9 play critical roles in lysosomal function and cell viability by regulating Cathepsin D activity.

description: Topology, a mathematical concept in geometry, has become an ideal theoretical tool for describing topological states and phase transitions. Many topological concepts have found their physical entities in real or reciprocal spaces identified by topological/geometrical invariants, which are usually defined on orientable surfaces such as torus and sphere. It is natural to quest whether it is possible to find the physical realization of more intriguing non-orientable surfaces. Herein, we show that the set of spin-induced ferroelectric polarizations in cubic perovskite oxides AMn3Cr4O12 (A = La and Tb) resides on the topological Roman surface, a non-orientable two-dimensional manifold formed by sewing a Mobius strip edge to that of a disc. The induced polarization may travel in a loop along the non-orientable Mobius strip or orientable disc depending on how the spin evolves as controlled by external magnetic field. Experimentally, the periodicity of polarization can be the same or the twice of the rotating magnetic field, being well consistent with the orientability of disc and Mobius strip, respectively. This path dependent topological magnetoelectric effect presents a way to detect the global geometry of the surface and deepens our understanding of topology in both mathematics and physics

description: Nanomedicine research started exploring the combination of therapy and diagnostics, so-called theranostics, to offer a more flexible care with improved outcome. As magnetic nanoparticles show great potential in many diagnostic and therapeutic applications, they are prime candidates to be used in a theranostic setting. This perspective gives an overview of state-of-the-art magnetic nanoparticle-based imaging techniques and theranostic applications and discusses their opportunities and challenges. To address these challenges and exploit these opportunities to the fullest, we provide three promising research directions. The first considers novel magnetic field sequences, utilizing the rich magnetic dynamics of the particles, which boost the capabilities of many nanoparticle-based applications. Secondly ,we introduce the concept of smart theranostics based on feedback mechanisms between the particle applications and their supporting imaging procedure to enhance the performance of both and allow real-time monitoring of treatment efficiency. Finally, we show how data-driven models could enhance therapy and diagnostics, and handle the platform's large amount of data and decision support algorithms. The latter research track also includes hybrid models in which physics-based and data-driven models are combined to overcome challenges of applications with limited data, as well as to uncover unknown nanoparticle dynamics. Contrasting other literature, which mainly focuses on developing magnetic nanoparticles with the right characteristics, we put forward advances in magnetic nanoparticle imaging techniques and applications to enable the use of a broader range of magnetic nanoparticles in theranostics. We encourage researchers to also investigate these aspects to advance theranostic applications of magnetic nanoparticles to clinical environments.

description: Prominently accountable for the upsurge of COVID-19 cases as the world attempts to recover from the previous two waves, Omicron has further threatened the conventional therapeutic approaches. Omicron is the fifth variant of concern (VOC), which comprises more than 10 mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein. However, the lack of extensive research regarding Omicron has raised the need to establish correlations to understand this variant by structural comparisons. Here, we evaluate, correlate, and compare its genomic sequences through an immunoinformatic approach with wild and mutant RBD forms of the spike protein to understand its epidemiological characteristics and responses towards existing drugs for better patient management. Our computational analyses provided insights into infectious and pathogenic trails of the Omicron variant. In addition, while the analysis represented South Africa's Omicron variant being similar to the highly-infectious B.1.620 variant, mutations within the prominent proteins are hypothesized to alter its pathogenicity. Moreover, docking evaluations revealed significant differences in binding affinity with human receptors, ACE2 and NRP1. Owing to its characteristics of rendering existing treatments ineffective, we evaluated the drug efficacy against their target protein encoded in the Omicron through molecular docking approach. Most of the tested drugs were proven to be effective. Nirmatrelvir (Paxlovid), MPro 13b, and Lopinavir displayed increased effectiveness and efficacy, while Ivermectin showed the best result against Omicron.

description: Recent video and language pretraining frameworks lack the ability to generate sentences. We present Multimodal Video Generative Pretraining (MV-GPT), a new pretraining framework for learning from unlabelled videos which can be effectively used for generative tasks such as multimodal video captioning. Unlike recent video-language pretraining frameworks, our framework trains both a multimodal video encoder and a sentence decoder jointly. To overcome the lack of captions in unlabelled videos, we leverage the future utterance as an additional text source and propose a bidirectional generation objective -- we generate future utterances given the present mulitmodal context, and also the present utterance given future observations. With this objective, we train an encoder-decoder model end-to-end to generate a caption from raw pixels and transcribed speech directly. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance for multimodal video captioning on four standard benchmarks, as well as for other video understanding tasks such as VideoQA, video retrieval and action classification.
Anomalous screening in narrow-gap carbon nanotubes

description: The screening of Coulomb interaction controls many-body physics in carbon nanotubes, as it tunes the range and strength of the force that acts on charge carriers and binds electron-hole pairs into excitons. In doped tubes, the effective Coulomb interaction drives the competition between Luttinger liquid and Wigner crystal, whereas in undoped narrow-gap tubes it dictates the Mott or excitonic nature of the correlated insulator observed at low temperature. Here, by computing the dielectric function of selected narrow- and zero-gap tubes from first principles, we show that the standard effective-mass model of screening systematically underestimates the interaction strength at long wavelength, hence missing the binding of low-energy excitons. The reason is that the model critically lacks the full three-dimensional topology of the tube, being adapted from graphene theory. As ab inito calculations are limited to small tubes, we develop a two-band model dielectric function based on the plane-wave expansion of Bloch states and the exact truncated Coulomb cutoff technique. We demonstrate that our -- computationally cheap -- approach provides the correct screening for narrow-gap tubes of any size and chirality. A striking result is that the screened interaction remains long-ranged even in gapless tubes, as an effect of the microscopic local fields generated by the electrons moving on the curved tube surface. As an application, we show that the effective electron-electron force that is felt at distances relevant to quantum transport experiments is super Coulombic.

Year: 2023

The food industry is facing the challenge of creating innovative, nutritious, and flavored plant-based products, due to consumer's increasing demand for the health and environmental sustainability. Fermentation as a unique and effective tool plays an important role in the innovation of food products. Traditional fermented soy foods are popular in many Asian and African countries as nutritious, digestible and flavorful daily staples or condiments. They are produced by specific microorganisms with the unique fermentation process in which microorganisms convert the ingredients of whole soybean or soybean curd to flavorful and functional molecules. This review provides an overview on traditional fermented food produced from soy, including douchi, natto, tempeh, and sufu as well as stinky tofu, including the background of these products, the manufacturing process, and the microbial diversity involved in fermentation procedures as well as flavor volatiles that were identified in the final products. The contribution of microbes to the quality of these five fermented soy foods is discussed, with the comparison to the role of cheese ripening microorganisms in cheese flavor formation. This communication aims to summarize the microbiology of fermented soy foods in Asia, evoking innovative ideas for the development of new plant-based fermented foods especially plant-based cheese analogues.

Year: 2018

description: The Klimalotse ("climate navigator") is an online tool to support climate change adaptation. Its target audience is decision makers at the local and regional levels. The tool was first published in 2010 by the German Federal Environment Agency. After several years, the Agency evaluated the changing needs of decision makers and the real use of the tool. Decision makers are confronted with various challenges and barriers both prior to and while creating and implementing climate change adaptation measures. In order to be able to take these factors into account in the revision of the Klimalotse, the accompanying research looked into climate change adaptation from the perspective of public institutions and their decision-making processes. In the light of that work, the Agency published a completely revised second edition. This article summarises the lessons learned on that journey. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature 2018
Electromagnetic interaction between two uniformly moving charged particles: a geometrical derivation using Minkowski diagrams

description: This paper presents an intuitive, geometrical derivation of the relativistic addition of velocities, and of the electromagnetic interaction between two uniformly moving charged particles, based on 2 spatial + 1 temporal dimensional Minkowski diagrams. We calculate the relativistic addition of velocities by projecting the world-line of the particle on the spatio-temporal planes of the reference frames considered. We calculate the real component of the electro- magnetic 4-force, in the proper reference frame of the source particle, starting from the Coulomb force generated by a charged particle at rest. We then obtain the imaginary component of the 4-force, in the same reference frame, from the requirement that the 4-force be orthogonal to the 4-velocity. The 4-force is then projected on a real 3 dimensional space to get the Lorentz force.

description: We present the RBO Hand 3, a highly capable and versatile anthropomorphic soft hand based on pneumatic actuation. The RBO Hand 3 is designed to enable dexterous manipulation, to facilitate transfer of insights about human dexterity, and to serve as a robust research platform for extensive real-world experiments. It achieves these design goals by combining many degrees of actuation with intrinsic compliance, replicating relevant functioning of the human hand, and by combining robust components in a modular design. The RBO Hand 3 possesses 16 independent degrees of actuation, implemented in a dexterous opposable thumb, two-chambered fingers, an actuated palm, and the ability to spread the fingers. In this work, we derive the design objectives that are based on experimentation with the hand's predecessors, observations about human grasping, and insights about principles of dexterity. We explain in detail how the design features of the RBO Hand 3 achieve these goals and evaluate the hand by demonstrating its ability to achieve the highest possible score in the Kapandji test for thumb opposition, to realize all 33 grasp types of the comprehensive GRASP taxonomy, to replicate common human grasping strategies, and to perform dexterous in-hand manipulation.

description: In recent years, generative adversarial network (GAN)-based image generation techniques design their generators by stacking up multiple residual blocks. The residual block generally contains a shortcut, \ie skip connection, which effectively supports information propagation in the network. In this paper, we propose a novel shortcut method, called the gated shortcut, which not only embraces the strength point of the residual block but also further boosts the GAN performance. More specifically, based on the gating mechanism, the proposed method leads the residual block to keep (or remove) information that is relevant (or irrelevant) to the image being generated. To demonstrate that the proposed method brings significant improvements in the GAN performance, this paper provides extensive experimental results on the various standard datasets such as CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, LSUN, and tiny-ImageNet. Quantitative evaluations show that the gated shortcut achieves the impressive GAN performance in terms of Frechet inception distance (FID) and Inception score (IS). For instance, the proposed method improves the FID and IS scores on the tiny-ImageNet dataset from 35.13 to 27.90 and 20.23 to 23.42, respectively.

description: Das Bild der antiken Stadt Rom ist tiefer in das gemeinschaftliche Gedächtnis der westlichen Welt eingeschrieben als das jeder anderen Metropole des Altertums. Die Wirkmächtigkeit dieses Stadt-Bildes fußt einmal auf der historischen Bedeutung der römischen Zivilisation, zum anderen auf einem medienvermittelten Inventar von Vorstellungen. Eine wichtige Grundlage für dieses, vor allem über Kinofilme vermittelte Bild von Rom ist die faschistische Antikenrezeption und -aufbereitung im Italien der 1930er Jahre. Hollywoods monumentale Antikenfilme der Nachkriegszeit zitieren ein grandioses, aber in vielerlei Hinsicht unrichtiges Bild von der Hauptstadt des römischen Reiches, das auf mehrfache Weise durch diesen vorangehenden Zeitabschnitt beeinflusst worden ist. Auf diese Weise werden über den Film vermittelte, mit zeitgeschichtlichen Bezügen aufgeladene Bilder der antiken Stadt zur Referenzquelle, nicht die Befunde der Archäologie.
Filme wie 'Quo Vadis' oder 'Ben Hur' projizieren die theatralische Selbstdarstellung eines autoritären Regimes des 20. Jahrhunderts in die entfernte Vergangenheit zurück und thematisieren auf diese Weise indirekt politische Bezüge zum 20. Jahrhundert. Spätere Visualisierungen Roms in Film- und Fernsehproduktionen differenzieren dieses Bildrepertoire nur teilweise durch Rückgriff auf Befunde der Archäologie. Die Kontinuität von medienvermittelten Vorstellungen des antiken Rom hat eine kollektive Bildvorstellung geschaffen, die eine ungebrochene Lebensdauer besitzt, obwohl sie meistenteils ahistorisch ist.

description: Bauen und Sprechen sind der Zeit unterworfen. Wenn Zeit über sie hinweggegangen ist, werden sie zu Zeichen. Und die Gegenwart muss sich fragen, wie sie mit diesen Zeichen umgehen will: als Vorboten ihres eigenen Vergehens oder als Feinden ihrer momentanen Befindlichkeit.
Bauten, die vorgeben, die Zeiten überdauern und der Ewigkeit nahe sein zu können, sind Verwirklichungen eines utopisch-neuzeitlichen Traumes. Alterslose Perfektion fasziniert, aber sie ist nicht der Inbegriff des Menschlichen. Menschen sind auf das Unfertige ausgelegt, es steht für Vergänglichkeit, aber auch für Heimat und Nähe. Das Vergängliche bewegt mehr als das immer-Gleiche; es kann im Geist neue Projekte erzeugen, neue und andere Bauten, keine Kopien der alten. Doch es muss nicht immer so kommen.

description: Recent study shows that the magnetic reconnection can serve as an efficient mechanism to extract energy from rapidly spinning black holes. In this paper, we consider the effects of the tidal charge on the energy extraction via the magnetic reconnection in the backgrounds of a spinning braneworld black hole. With the increase of the tidal charge, we find that both the energies of the accelerated plasma and decelerated plasma decrease for the observer located at infinity. To achieve the purpose extracting the net energy from the black hole, the decelerated plasma should take negative energy. Then we observe that the power of the energy extraction via the magnetic reconnection grows with the tidal charge. Meanwhile, the efficiency also increases with the tidal charge indicating that the spinning braneworld black hole with positive tidal charge is more efficient than the Kerr black hole. Compared with the Blandford-Znajek mechanism, the magnetic reconnection process shall have a higher power for positive tidal charge. These results indicate that the tidal charge has a significant effect on the energy extraction via the magnetic reconnection process.

description: Die Einmaligkeit städtischer Ortsbilder ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten von Gewerbegebieten, Trabantenstädten, überdimensionierten Verkehrsbauwerken oder anderen Fehlentwicklungen modernen Städtebaus nachhaltig ge- und zerstört worden. Derzeit rollt eine neue Welle von optischen Beeinträchtigungen auf die erhaltenen Ortslagen von besonderer Ausstrahlungskraft heran. 25 Prozent des Energiebedarfes der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wird im Bereich der privater Haushalte benötigt, das Einpacken des Hausbestandes mit Wärmedämmmaterialien erscheint meist als einfachstes Mittel zur Reduzierung des Energieverbrauches. Die Verdämmung von Bauten mit außenliegenden Schichten erzeugt aber entscheidende Verluste: an Gestaltqualität, Materialität und historischer Wirkung. Dabei wird häufig vergessen, dass ökonomische und soziale Nachhaltigkeit in der Stadtentwicklung auch von der Qualität des Stadtbildes abhängt.

description: Background Older adults who live alone and have difficulties in activities of daily living (ADLs) may have been more vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about pandemic-related changes in ADL assistance (such as home care, domiciliary care) and its international variation. We examined international patterns and changes in provision of ADL assistance, and related these to country-level measures including national income and health service expenditure. Methods We analysed data covering 29 countries from three longitudinal cohort studies (Health and Retirement Study, English Longitudinal Study of Aging, and Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe). Eligible people were aged ≥50 years and living alone. Outcomes included ADL difficulty status (assessed via six basic ADLs and five instrumental ADLs) and receipt of ADL assistance. Wealth-related inequality and need-related inequity in ADL assistance were measured using Erreygers’ corrected concentration index (ECI). Correlations were estimated between prevalence/inequality/inequity in ADL assistance and national health-related indicators. We hypothesized these measures would be associated with health system factors such as affordability and availability of ADL assistance, as well as active ageing awareness. Results During COVID-19, 18.4% of older adults living alone reported ADL difficulties (ranging from 8.8% in Switzerland to 29.2% in the USA) and 56.8% of those reporting difficulties received ADL assistance (ranging from 38.7% in the UK to 79.8% in Lithuania). Females were more likely to receive ADL assistance than males in 16/29 countries; the sex gap increased further during the pandemic. Wealth-related ECIs indicated socioeconomic equality in ADL assistance within 24/39 countries before the pandemic, and significant favouring of the less wealthy in 18/29 countries during the pandemic. Needs-related ECIs indicated less equity in assistance with ADLs during the pandemic than before. Our hypotheses on the association between ADL provision measures and health system factors were confirmed before COVID-19, but unexpectedly disconfirmed during COVID-19. Conclusion This study revealed an unequal (and in some countries, partly needs-mismatched) response from countries to older adults living alone during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings might inform future research about, and policies for, older adults living alone, particularly regarding social protection responses during crises.

description: B. Magajna and J. Schweizer showed in 1997 and 1999, respectively, that C*-algebras of compact operators can be characterized by the property that every norm-closed (and coinciding with its biorthogonal complement, resp.) submodule of every Hilbert C*-module over them is automatically an orthogonal summand. We find out further generic properties of the category of Hilbert C*-modules over C*-algebras which characterize precisely the C*-algebras of compact operators.

description: We considered the new signature of a charged Higgs boson, $pp\rightarrow H^{\pm}h\rightarrow W^{\pm}hh$, which is almost background free as the promising to study of supersymmetry at the LHC with both $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV and $\sqrt{s}= 14$ TeV. In the framework of MSSM model we used the latest theoretical parameter space, which is consistent with the experimental constraints from Large Hadron Collider and direct or indirect searches. In the surviving regions with the help of Pythia 8.3 and Feynhiggs programs it was found that production cross sections, $σ(pp\rightarrow H^{\pm}h)$, and Branching Ratios, $BR(H^{\pm}\rightarrow W^{\pm}h)$, are the largest at Benchmark Points 4 and 14 correspondingly.

description: Chern-Simons gravity rotating Kerr-type black hole solutions are revisited from the point of view of their scalarization, namely examining the back reaction of pseudoscalar axion fields on the rotating geometry. To lowest order in an angular momentum expansion, and a long range approximation for both the axion field configuration and its back reaction onto the metric, such solutions had been discussed for the first time in the context of string theory. In this work, we extend the analysis to give analytic expressions for slowly rotating black holes outside the horizon, which formally include an all order expansion in inverse powers of the radial distance from the centre of the black hole, which allows to approach arbitrarily close the horizon. We also discuss in some detail the way Chern-Simons gravity violates the energy conditions, which leads to secondary axionic hair of the rotating black hole solutions. This discussion is extended to studies of wormhole solutions, which we construct in this article via the thin-shell procedure and we demonstrate that the presence of the axion field enforces the two black hole solutions to be counter-rotating and for slow rotation, there is no backreaction of the Cotton tensor on the thin-shell of the wormhole.
