Council of Europe
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)

description: This study was undertaken to obtain an overview of pragmatic responses to the problem of social cohesion. How did other jurisdictions view “the problem” and what were they doing to address it? The study analyzes how three international organizations -- the European Union, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Council of Europe -- have defined social cohesion. It also examines major threats to social cohesion and positive factors promoting social cohesion, as perceived by these organizations. Finally, it outlines measures undertaken to address perceived threats and draws general conclusions about their approach to this emerging policy challenge.

Subjects: Foto-elicitering, intervju, bildmaterial,

description: Foto-elicitering är en intervju där planeraren och en eller flera informanter diskuterar kring någon slags bildmaterial. Metoden har använts och används inom flera olika discipliner och är utvecklat inom antropologi och sociologi. Samtalet har som mål att gå på djupet för att förstå bildens betydelse och innebörd. Foto-elicitering skapar ofta en avslappnad och intressant diskussion då själva fokus på intervjun inte är på den som intervjuas utan på bilden, maktbalansen blir mer jämlik och kan skapa svar där aldrig frågan ställts. Metoden kräver gediget för- och efterarbete men ger ofta nya perspektiv och detaljerad information som hade varit svårt för planeraren att veta i förväg. Resultaten från foto-eliciteringar går att kombinera med GIS och kan därmed komplettera traditionella metoder vid förändringsarbete. De kvalitativa resultaten från denna metod tillsammans med mer traditionella kvantitativa data ger beslutsfattare en tydligare helhetsbild, förståelse för problem och önskan om att genomföra förändringar. Metoden i sig kan föranleda kreativa initiativ genom de medverkandes inspiration till förändring exempelvis kring social orättvisa.

description: We present a theoretical study of the collective excitations of a trapped imbalanced fermion gas at unitarity, when the system consists of a superfluid core and a normal outer shell. We formulate the relevant boundary conditions and treat the normal shell both hydrodynamically and collisionlessly. For an isotropic trap, we calculate the mode frequencies as a function of trap polarization. Out-of-phase modes with frequencies below the trapping frequency are obtained for the case of a hydrodynamic normal shell. For the collisionless case, we calculate the monopole mode frequencies, and find that all but the lowest mode may be damped.

description: The successful implementation of new ALD materials in standard 200 mm wafer fabrication processes poses challenges, particularly concerning post-processing stability of (semi-)conductive materials. This study addresses the critical issue of ensuring the stability of thin layers during post-processing steps such as patterning, chemical etching, and resist removal. Since ALD as a process is primarily predestined for thin layers consisting of a few monolayers, the influence of further process steps must be evaluated all the more critically due to the high surface to layer thickness ratio. For instance, ion beam etching processes can lead to photoresist cross-linking, requiring plasma ashing of the resist. Additionally, chemical selective etching may result in underetching of the photoresist, leading to alterations in critical dimensions as well as typical cleaning processes may attack the sensitive layers. The specific focus of this work is on the post-processing of MoS2, a semi conductive material, deposited by ALD at low temperatures (T = 100 °C) for gas sensing applications. To assess its stability and suitability for industrial high-volume processes, the sheet resistance of the MoS2 layer is measured before and after typical post-processing steps. By analyzing the sheet resistance of the MoS2 layer, valuable insights can be gained regarding its stability against further processing steps in semiconductor manufacturing. These insights are crucial for assessing the feasibility of integrating MoS2 and similar ALD materials into industrial-scale processes

description: Patients with breast cancer (bca) who overexpress her2 (the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) are at risk for cardiotoxicity when treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy and her2-targeted agents. The Framingham risk score (frs) is a validated tool that stratifies patients into high-, intermediate-, or low-risk groups and calculates their 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease (cvd) based on past medical history, systolic blood pressure, and measurement of serum lipids. We retrospectively analyzed patients with her2-positive bca to determine whether the frs predicts adverse cardiovascular (CV) events or cardiotoxicity in patients treated using anthracyclines or her2-targeted therapy, or both.

Challenges and Opportunities of OER at a Bilingual Canadian University

Lack of OER in French

description: Promoting the use of open educational resources (OER) at a bilingual university comes with its own challenges. Beyond the common concerns about quality and the time-consuming task of searching for OER on multiple platforms, at a Canadian institution offering over 500 programs in both English and French, a large gap in the availability of OER in these two languages has serious equity implications. While courses taught in English benefit from the availability of resources created in the U.S. or supported by provincial consortia, there is a critical lack of OER in French, especially in the Canadian context. There is a real risk that studying in English becomes more advantageous and affordable, thus further threatening French-language programs. In this talk, we address some of the reasons behind the limited availability of OER in French and the difficulty in finding existing OER in that language, and expand on the equity implications of this situation. We also suggest some solutions and opportunities beyond translating what already exists, including fostering a culture of OER creation in French to equalize access and address the longstanding obstacles of a limited and fragmented market for commercial textbooks in French.

description: We examine how the breaking of shift symmetry affects the formation of caustics for the standard canonical kinetic theory as well as for the DBI theory. We show in this case, that the standard canonical kinetic theory is caustic free but the same does not always apply for the DBI model. We make similar arguments about the conformal Galileons. Finally, it is shown that the simple wave condition is not invariant under field redefinitions and the meaning of simple waves after symmetry breaking is discussed.

description: Objective: The purpose of the study was to develop a scoring system for a novel naming task suitable for assessing naming performance in younger (18-30 years) and older (65+ years) adults in monolingual English, monolingual French, and English-French bilingual groups. This novel naming task will serve as an important health service to help diagnose and assess cognitively impaired older individuals, while also serving as an educational tool for healthcare providers. Materials and Methods: The Naming Task consists of 120 images organized in the same randomized order, and are shown on a white background displayed on a computer screen using PowerPoint. Participants are instructed to name the image displayed. Monolinguals completed the test in their native language and bilinguals completed the test in English only, French only, and a bilingual administration. Scoring criteria was established based on the responses from testing. Results: Strict and lenient scoring criteria developed for the Naming Task are presented. Eight items were removed from the original Naming Task due to quality and/or clarity, inability to name the image, or too many alternate responses. Performance in monolingual English and French was similar in younger and older adults for strict and lenient scoring. Bilinguals performed better with bilingual administration and worse with French administration, where scores were the lowest of all age and language groups. Conclusion: The Naming Task appears to be suitable for monolingual French and English individuals. Results suggest that a bilingual administration should be used when testing English-French bilinguals.

description: A correlation between the secondary cosmic ray flux and the near-earth electric field intensity, measured during thunderstorms, has been found by analyzing the data of the ARGO-YBJ experiment, a full coverage air shower array located at the Yangbajing Cosmic Ray Laboratory (4300 m a. s. l., Tibet, China). The counting rates of showers with different particle multiplicities, have been found to be strongly dependent upon the intensity and polarity of the electric field measured during the course of 15 thunderstorms. In negative electric fields (i.e. accelerating negative charges downwards), the counting rates increase with increasing electric field strength. In positive fields, the rates decrease with field intensity until a certain value of the field EFmin (whose value depends on the event multiplicity), above which the rates begin increasing. By using Monte Carlo simulations, we found that this peculiar behavior can be well described by the presence of an electric field in a layer of thickness of a few hundred meters in the atmosphere above the detector, which accelerates/decelerates the secondary shower particles of opposite charge, modifying the number of particles with energy exceeding the detector threshold. These results, for the first time, give a consistent explanation for the origin of the variation of the electron/positron flux observed for decades by high altitude cosmic ray detectors during thunderstorms.

Competition between magnetic catalysis effect and chiral rotation effect

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: In this work, we explore the competition between magnetic catalysis effect and chiral rotation effect in a general parallel electromagnetic field within the effective Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. For a given electric field $E$ at zero temperature, the mass gap shows three different features with respect to an increasing magnetic field $B$: increasing monotonically, decreasing after increasing and decreasing monotonically. By making use of strong magnetic field approximation, we illuminate that this is due to the competition between catalysis effect and chiral rotation effect induced both by the magnetic field, and a critical electric field $\sqrt{eE_c}=86.4~{\rm MeV}$ is found beyond which the mass gap will eventually decrease at large $B$. As only large magnetic field is relevant for the derivation, the critical electric field does not depend on the temperature $T$ or chemical potential $μ$.

description: With age, the acuity of the five senses (i.e., hearing, sight, taste, smell, touch) is reduced. These types of sensory changes can affect day-to-day activities, making it more difficult for individuals to communicate and to interact with the world around them. The five senses allow us to receive information from the environment in the form of sound, light, smell, taste, and touch. As an older person's senses decline, they need more stimulation to be aware of these sensations. In long-term care settings, appropriate sensory practices are needed to address the diminishing senses of older adults. The objective of this mixed-methods systematic review is to examine the relationship between the sensory practices and the quality of life of residents living in long-term care settings and to develop an aggregated synthesis of mixed-methods studies to derive recommendations for policy, practice, and research.

description: Vehicular ad hoc networks VANETs use pseudonyms to communicate among them and with road side units, these pseudonyms are used to authenticate these vehicles and to hide real identities behind these pseudonyms, to better enhance privacy, these pseudonyms are changed frequently so that it will not be that easy to link these pseudonyms together and hence reveal real identities. However, changing pseudonyms will not be that useful if previous and current pseudonyms are easily linked together. Therefore different techniques have been proposed to hide the pseudonym changes and make it difficult to link pseudonyms together. Most of these techniques do not fully quarantine privacy when changing a pseudonym under some situations such as low traffic. In this paper, we provide a technique for changing pseudonyms that has the same privacy level under all traffic conditions. The technique relies on fixed mix zones that are planted and distributed over the roads. By this technique, a vehicle guarantees a high level of security when changing its pseudonym at that mix zone which will make it very difficult for an adversary to link particular pseudonyms together and hence reveal real identity. Performance analysis showed that our model works efficiently with very few computational costs

Les relations post-Brexit entre le Royaume-Uni et l’Union Européenne : la Suisse comme modèle ?

description: Suite à l’acceptation du peuple britannique de sortir de l’Union européenne lors d’un référendum tenu en juin 2016, le gouvernement du Royaume-Uni se retrouve désormais dans une position inconfortable. Il doit, d’un côté, respecter la volonté du peuple et se conformer aux raisons politiques qui ont motivé le Brexit et, d’un autre côté, essayer de conserver du mieux qu’il peut les relations économiques préférentielles développées et entretenues avec l’Union européenne (UE) au cours des 45 dernières années et qui jouent toujours un rôle essentiel pour la vitalité économique du pays. Le Royaume-Uni mène ainsi des négociations longues et compliquées avec les autorités européennes. Pour mener ces discussions, il peut s’appuyer sur plusieurs modèles déjà existant qu’offrent des pays ayant refusé ou n’ayant pas eu l’occasion d’adhérer à l’UE mais qui ont développé au fil du temps des relations spécifiques avec cette dernière. L’emphase dans ce travail est portée sur le modèle offert par la Suisse car il a souvent été cité par les eurosceptiques comme l’exemple d’un pays ayant réussi à prospérer avec succès hors de l’UE. Ce travail analyse ainsi, dans un premier temps, les constituants du modèle suisse avant de le mettre en perspective par rapport aux autres principaux modèles érigés comme options potentielles pour le Royaume-Uni. Il confronte finalement le modèle suisse aux considérations politiques du Brexit et aux intérêts de l’économie britannique pour en évaluer son niveau de compatibilité. L’analyse tend à démontrer que, bien que le modèle suisse propose des aspects intéressants et instructifs pour les autorités britanniques, il ne constitue cependant pas un modèle viable sur lequel le Royaume-Uni et l’UE pourront bâtir leurs futures relations.

kurzes Abstract

Die nachfolgende Studie soll im Ansatz untersuchen, wie zwei verschiedene KI Systeme - aus mutmaßlich unterschiedlichen Interessenssphären- mit der Frage umgehen, ob ein hypothetisches KI Kartell die Gefahr mit sich bringen könnte, bestehende ideologische Spaltungen zwischen den Ländern und den Einflussspären zu zementieren: Beispielsweise im Konfliktfeld zwischen Ost und West, Kapitalismus vs. Kommunismus, USA <> China.

Als mögliche Bedingung hierfür sei im vorliegenden Beispiel eine heimliche Absprache auf geheimdienstlicher oder militärischer Ebene angeführt, zum Nachteil der Nutzer im Allgemeinen, die entweder diesem oder jenem System zwangsweise zugeordnet werden (Profilierung).

Die Gefahr besteht hierbei also nicht unbedingt bei der transparenten und offenen Kooperation zwischen den beteiligten KI Unternehmen, sondern in einem hypothetisch stattfindenden intransparenten Datenaustausch mit dem Ziel, die Welt bewusst in verschiedene politische Interessenssphären aufzuteilen (gemeinsam).

Befragt wurden hierfür zwei KI Systeme, welche sinnbildlich für die oben genannten Konfliktparteien stehen, deren Antworten jedoch anonymisiert werden, um Fairness und Neutralität zu bewahren.

Die Veröffentlichung soll als mögliche Diskussionsgrundlage dienen, beispielsweise im Rahmen künftig stattfindender KI-Ethik-Konferenzen oder auch im öffentlichen Diskurs über verschiedene KI Themen.
Generation of large-scale magnetic field in convective full-sphere cross-helicity dynamo

description: We study effects of the cross-helicity in the full-sphere large-scale mean-field dynamo models of the 0.3M star rotating with the period of 10 days. In exploring several dynamo scenarios which are stemming from the cross-helicity generation effect, we found that the cross-helicity provide the natural generation mechanisms for the large-scale scale axisym- metric and non-axisymmetric magnetic field. Therefore the rotating stars with convective envelope can produce the large-scale magnetic field generated solely due to the turbulent cross-helicity effect (we call it γ 2 -dynamo). Using mean-field models we compare properties of the large-scale magnetic field organization that stems from dynamo mechanisms based on the kinetic (associated with the α 2 dynamos) and cross-helicity. For the fully convective stars, both generation mechanisms can maintain large-scale dynamos even for the solid body rotation law inside the star. The non-axisymmetric magnetic configurations become preferable when the cross-helicity and the α-effect operate independently of each other. This corresponds to situations of the purely γ 2 or α 2 dynamos. Combination of these scenarios, i.e., the γ 2 α 2 dynamo can generate preferably axisymmetric, a dipole-like magnetic field of strength several kGs. Thus we found a new dynamo scenario which is able to generate the axisymmetric magnetic field even in the case of the solid body rotation of the star. We discuss the possible applications of our findings to stellar observations.

description: Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) are resulting in AI-generated media output that is (nearly) indistinguishable from human-created content. This can drastically impact users and the media sector, especially given global risks of misinformation. While the currently discussed European AI Act aims at addressing these risks through Article 52's AI transparency obligations, its interpretation and implications remain unclear. In this early work, we adopt a participatory AI approach to derive key questions based on Article 52's disclosure obligations. We ran two workshops with researchers, designers, and engineers across disciplines (N=16), where participants deconstructed Article 52's relevant clauses using the 5W1H framework. We contribute a set of 149 questions clustered into five themes and 18 sub-themes. We believe these can not only help inform future legal developments and interpretations of Article 52, but also provide a starting point for Human-Computer Interaction research to (re-)examine disclosure transparency from a human-centered AI lens.

description: Building on a variant of the Jarzynski equation we propose a new method to numerically determine the prior-predictive value in a Bayesian inference problem. The method generalizes thermodynamic integration and is not hampered by equilibration problems. We demonstrate its operation by applying it to two simple examples and elucidate its performance. In the case of multi-modal posterior distributions the performance is superior to thermodynamic integration.

description: Background: The rapidly increasing dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in both humans and animals poses a global threat to public health. However, the transmission of CRE between humans and animals has not yet been well studied. Objectives: We investigated the prevalence, risk factors, and drivers of CRE transmission between humans and their backyard animals in rural China. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive sampling strategy in 12 villages in Shandong, China. Using the household [residents and their backyard animals (farm and companion animals)] as a single surveillance unit, we assessed the prevalence of CRE at the household level and examined the factors associated with CRE carriage through a detailed questionnaire. Genetic relationships among human- and animal-derived CRE were assessed using whole-genome sequencing–based molecular methods. Results: A total of 88 New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases –type carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (NDM-EC), including 17 from humans, 44 from pigs, 12 from chickens, 1 from cattle, and 2 from dogs, were isolated from 65 of the 746 households examined. The remaining 12 NDM-EC were from flies in the immediate backyard environment. The NDM-EC colonization in households was significantly associated with a) the number of species of backyard animals raised/kept in the same household, and b) the use of human and/or animal feces as fertilizer. Discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) revealed that a large proportion of the core genomes of the NDM-EC belonged to strains from hosts other than their own, and several human isolates shared closely related core single-nucleotide polymorphisms and blaNDM genetic contexts with isolates from backyard animals. Conclusions: To our knowledge, we are the first to report evidence of direct transmission of NDM-EC between humans and animals. Given the rise of NDM-EC in community and hospital infections, combating NDM-EC transmission in backyard farm systems is needed. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP5251

description: Este proyecto fue desarrollado bajo el influjo del área de demografía y estudios de población de la Universidad Externado de Colombia. Corresponde y contribuye a un trabajo grupal que centra su mirada en la comprensión de la dinámica demográfica, sus implicaciones y su valoración en los instrumentos de planeación vigentes en el Departamento de Nariño y en específico, en las subregiones de Juanambú y Rio Mayo. Es un examen multiescalar de corte descriptivo y transversal que indagó por la coherencia entre los instrumentos de planeación de los diferentes niveles y, a partir del reconocimiento de la dinámica demográfica tanto regional como en cada uno de los municipios de dichas subregiones, analizó en los planes, la inclusión, la calidad y la pertinencia de dicha información para la toma de decisiones respecto de la planeación tanto del desarrollo como del territorio. Concluye que es necesario fortalecer las capacidades institucionales e incorporar las variables demográficas y las proyecciones de población en los distintos instrumentos de planificación; así como articularlos y armonizarlos entre sí, para la planeación integral con visión a futuro.

It corresponds to and contributes to a group work that focuses on understanding demographic dynamics, its implications and its assessment in the planning instruments in force in the Department of Nariño and specifically, in the subregions of Juanambú and Rio Mayo. It is a multi-scale descriptive and transversal examination that investigated the coherence between the planning instruments of the different levels and, based on the recognition of the demographic dynamics both regionally and in each of the municipalities of said subregions, analyzed the plans , the inclusion, quality and relevance of said information for decision-making regarding planning of both development and territory. It concludes that it is necessary to strengthen institutional capacities and incorporate demographic variables and population projections in the different planning instruments; as well as articulate and harmonize them with each other, for comprehensive planning with a vision for the future.

description: We image simultaneously the geometric, electronic and magnetic structure of a buckled iron bilayer film that exhibits chiral magnetic order. We achieve this by combining spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and magnetic exchange force microscopy (SPEX), to independently characterize the geometric as well as the electronic and magnetic structure of non-flat surfaces. This new SPEX imaging technique reveals the geometric height corrugation of the reconstruction lines resulting from strong strain relaxation in the bilayer, enabling the decomposition of the real-space from the eletronic structure at the atomic level, and the correlation with the resultant spin spiral ground state. By additionally utilizing adatom manipulation, we reveal the chiral magnetic ground state of portions of the unit cell that were not previously imaged with SP-STM alone. Using density functional theory (DFT), we investigate the structural and electronic properties of the reconstructed bilayer and identify the favorable stoichiometry regime in agreement with our experimental result.

description: By using a parametrization of the non-linear Walecka model which takes into account the binding energy of different hyperons, we present a study of particle production yields measured in central Au-Au collision at RHIC. Two sets of different hyperon-meson coupling constants are employed in obtaining the hadron production and chemical freeze-out parameters. These quantities show a weak dependence on the used hyperon-meson couplings. Results are in good overall accordance with experimental data. We have found that the repulsion among the baryons is quite small and, through a preliminary analysis of the effective mesonic masses, we suggest a way to improve the fittings.
