description: AVATAR therapy facilitates dialogues between a voice-hearer and a digital representation of their distressing voice ('the avatar'). A multi-site, single-blind randomized controlled trial has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of brief (AV-BRF) and extended (AV-EXT) forms of AVATAR therapy, compared with treatment as usual (TAU)(Garety et al., 2021). This study aims to analyse data from Experience Sampling Method (ESM) assessments (Myin‐Germeys et al., 2018) conducted at three timepoints (baseline, end of therapy at 16 weeks, and follow-up at 28 weeks) to determine whether changes in self-evaluated appraisals of self-esteem and social-rank related to real-time experiences of voices, as well as time with others, differ between groups and over time. Exploratory analyses will examine whether sense of belonging during social activities, or feelings of being an outsider when alone mediate these relationships. There is growing interest in using ESM as an outcome measure, such as in the INTERACT trial of ACT in psychosis (Myin-Germeys et al., 2022). This project is linked to the ESM programme in the AVATAR2 trial as outlined by the pre-registration document for the main paper: [https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/T83SZ]. This trial is the first time ESM outcome measures will be used to assess the efficacy of AVATAR therapy.

description: The readability of source code is key for understanding and maintaining software systems and tests. Several studies investigate the readability of source code, but there is limited research on the readability of test code and related influence factors. We investigate the factors that influence the readability of test code from an academic perspective complemented by practical views. First, we perform a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) with a focus on scientific literature. Second, we extend this study by reviewing grey literature sources for practical aspects on test code readability and understandability. Finally, we conduct a controlled experiment on the readability of a selected set of test cases to collect additional knowledge on influence factors discussed in practice. The result set of the SMS includes 19 primary studies from the scientific literature. The grey literature search reveals 62 sources for information on test code readability. Based on an analysis of these sources, we identified a combined set of 14 factors that influence the readability of test code. 7 of these factors were found in scientific and grey literature, while some factors were mainly discussed in academia (2) or industry (5) with limited overlap. The controlled experiment on practically relevant influence factors showed that the investigated factors have a significant impact on readability for half of the selected test cases. Our review of scientific and grey literature showed that test code readability is of interest for academia and industry with a consensus on key influence factors. However, we also found factors only discussed by practitioners. For some of these factors we were able to confirm an impact on readability in a first experiment. Therefore, we see the need to bring together academic and industry viewpoints to achieve a common view on the readability of software test code.

Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften

description: This paper summarises the main results from a study into methods of imple-menting sustainable development principles in EU Structural programmes. It demon-strates how 12 pilot regions translated the concept of sustainable development into practical applications which are compatible with structural funding procedures, rele-vant to the needs of specific programme areas and acceptable to programme partner-ships. The selected regions – from France, Germany, the UK, Sweden and the Neth-erlands – vary considerably in terms of their size and structural characteristics. These differences had an important bearing on the paths they chose to integrate sustainable development principles into their Structural Funds programmes and management practices. Conclusions are drawn on how other regions might promote sustainable devel-opment in the context of Structural Funds programmes on the basis of these experi-ences in terms of developing new methodologies, redesigning programme objectives, adapting management tools and opening up procedures to greater participation and dialogue.

description: Text continues to remain a relevant form of representation for information. Text documents are created either in digital native platforms or through the conversion of other media files such as images and speech. While the digital native text is invariably obtained through physical or virtual keyboards, technologies such as OCR and speech recognition are utilized to transform the images and speech signals into text content. All these variety of mechanisms of text generation also introduce errors into the captured text.
 This project aims at analyzing different kinds of error that occurs in text documents. The work employs two of the advanced deep neural network-based language models, namely, BART and MarianMT, to rectify the anomalies present in the text. Transfer learning of these models with available dataset is performed to finetune their capacity for error correction. A comparative study is conducted to investigate the effectiveness of these models in handling each of the defined error categories. It is observed that while both models can bring down the erroneous sentences by 20+%, BART can handle spelling errors far better (24.6%) than grammatical errors (8.8%).

description: Graph augmentation with contrastive learning has gained significant attention in the field of recommendation systems due to its ability to learn expressive user representations, even when labeled data is limited. However, directly applying existing GCL models to real-world recommendation environments poses challenges. There are two primary issues to address. Firstly, the lack of consideration for data noise in contrastive learning can result in noisy self-supervised signals, leading to degraded performance. Secondly, many existing GCL approaches rely on graph neural network (GNN) architectures, which can suffer from over-smoothing problems due to non-adaptive message passing. To address these challenges, we propose a principled framework called GraphAug. This framework introduces a robust data augmentor that generates denoised self-supervised signals, enhancing recommender systems. The GraphAug framework incorporates a graph information bottleneck (GIB)-regularized augmentation paradigm, which automatically distills informative self-supervision information and adaptively adjusts contrastive view generation. Through rigorous experimentation on real-world datasets, we thoroughly assessed the performance of our novel GraphAug model. The outcomes consistently unveil its superiority over existing baseline methods. The source code for our model is publicly available at: https://github.com/HKUDS/GraphAug.

description: We present the discovery of six new triple stellar system candidates composed of an inner eccentric-orbit eclipsing binary with an apsidal motion. These stars were studied using new, precise TESS light curves and a long-term collection of older photometric ground-based data. These data were used for the monitoring of ETVs (eclipse timing variations) and to detect the slow apsidal movements along with additional periodic signals. The systems analysed were ASASSN-V J012214.37+643943.3 (orbital period 2.01156 d, eccentricity 0.15, third body with 3.3 yr period); ASASSN-V J052227.78+345257.6 (2.42673 d, 0.35, 3.2 yr); ASASSN-V J203158.98+410731.4 (2.53109 d, 0.20, 2.7 yr); ASASSN-V J230945.10+605349.3 (2.08957 d, 0.18, 2.3 yr); ASASSN-V J231028.27+590841.8 (2.41767 d, 0.43, 4.9 yr); and NSV 14698 (3.30047 d, 0.147, 0.5 yr). In the system ASASSN-V J230945.10+605349.3, we detected a second eclipsing pair (per 2.99252 d) and found adequate ETV for the pair B, proving its 2+2 bound quadruple nature. All of these detected systems deserve special attention from long-term studies for their three-body dynamics since their outer orbital periods are not too long and because some dynamical effects should be detectable during the next decades. The system NSV 14698 especially seems to be the most interesting from the dynamical point of view due to it having the shortest outer period of the systems we studied, its fast apsidal motion, and its possible orbital changes during the whole 20th century.

description: Detailed chemical characterization of exhaust particles from 23 individual city buses was performed in Helsinki, Finland. Investigated buses represented different technologies in terms of engines, exhaust after-treatment systems (e.g., diesel particulate filter, selective catalytic reduction, and three-way catalyst) and fuels (diesel, diesel-electric (hybrid), ethanol, and compressed natural gas). Regarding emission standards, the buses operated at EURO III, EURO IV, and EEV (enhanced environmentally friendly vehicle) emission levels. The chemical composition of exhaust particles was determined by using a soot particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS). Based on the SP-AMS results, the bus emission particles were dominated by organics and refractory black carbon (rBC). The mass spectra of organics consisted mostly of hydrocarbon fragments (54–86% of total organics), the pattern of hydrocarbon fragments being rather similar regardless of the bus type. Regarding oxygenated organic fragments, ethanol-fueled buses had unique mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) of 45, 73, 87, and 89 (mass fragments of C2H5O+, C3H5O2+, C4H7O2+, and C4H9O2+, respectively) that were not detected for the other bus types at the same level. For rBC, there was a small difference in the ratio of C4+ and C5+ to C3+ for different bus types but also for the individual buses of the same type. In addition to organics and rBC, the presence of trace metals in the bus emission particles was investigated. Copyright © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Visual detection of Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) has attracted increasing attention in recent years due to its important application in various tasks. The existing methods for MAV detection assume that the training set and testing set have the same distribution. As a result, when deployed in new domains, the detectors would have a significant performance degradation due to domain discrepancy. In this paper, we study the problem of cross-domain MAV detection. The contributions of this paper are threefold. 1) We propose a Multi-MAV-Multi-Domain (M3D) dataset consisting of both simulation and realistic images. Compared to other existing datasets, the proposed one is more comprehensive in the sense that it covers rich scenes, diverse MAV types, and various viewing angles. A new benchmark for cross-domain MAV detection is proposed based on the proposed dataset. 2) We propose a Noise Suppression Network (NSN) based on the framework of pseudo-labeling and a large-to-small training procedure. To reduce the challenging pseudo-label noises, two novel modules are designed in this network. The first is a prior-based curriculum learning module for allocating adaptive thresholds for pseudo labels with different difficulties. The second is a masked copy-paste augmentation module for pasting truly-labeled MAVs on unlabeled target images and thus decreasing pseudo-label noises. 3) Extensive experimental results verify the superior performance of the proposed method compared to the state-of-the-art ones. In particular, it achieves mAP of 46.9%(+5.8%), 50.5%(+3.7%), and 61.5%(+11.3%) on the tasks of simulation-to-real adaptation, cross-scene adaptation, and cross-camera adaptation, respectively.

description: Objective: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) in high-rise buildings experience lower survival and longer delays until paramedic arrival. Use of publicly accessible automated external defibrillators (AED) can improve survival, but “vertical” placement has not been studied. We aim to determine whether elevator-based or lobby-based AED placement results in shorter vertical distance travelled (“response distance”) to OHCAs in a high-rise building. Methods: We developed a model of a single-elevator, n-floor high-rise building. We calculated and compared the average distance from AED to floor of arrest for the two AED locations. We modeled OHCA occurrences using floor-specific Poisson processes, the risk of OHCA on the ground floor (λ1) and the risk on any above-ground floor (λ). The elevator was modeled with an override function enabling direct travel to the target floor. The elevator location upon override was modeled as a discrete uniform random variable. Calculations used the laws of probability. Results: Elevator-based AED placement had shorter average response distance if the number of floors (n) in the building exceeded three quarters of the ratio of ground-floor OHCA risk to above-ground floor risk (λ1/λ) plus one half (n ≥ 3λ1/4λ + 0.5). Otherwise, a lobby-based AED had shorter average response distance. If OHCA risk on each floor was equal, an elevator-based AED had shorter average response distance. Conclusions: Elevator-based AEDs travel less vertical distance to OHCAs in tall buildings or those with uniform vertical risk, while lobby-based AEDs travel less vertical distance in buildings with substantial lobby, underground, and nearby street-level traffic and OHCA risk.

description: Objectives 

To provide high-quality data for scientific research on population dynamics and family changes, intergenerational relations and changes in the social roles of women and men, considering economic, social and cultural contexts. 

 

Description 

The Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) is conducting a new data collection phase starting in 2020, GGS-II. The new data collection phase promises to bring new perspectives on low fertility, the complex life trajectories of young adults and family dynamics. Thanks to the PNRR project Fostering Open Science in Social Science Research (FOSSR) in Italy, a first wave is planned for autumn 2024 to interview 12,500 individuals aged 18-59, 5,000 CAWI and 7,500 CAPI. 

 

Conclusions 

GGS-II will provide updated data on family and reproductive dynamics from a longitudinal perspective from 2024 onwards. The data will be internationally comparable, thanks to standard GGP guidelines and FAIR/O criteria.

description: Simulations and measurements on selective laser etching of display glasses are reported. By means of a holographic 3D beam splitter, ultrashort laser pulses are focused inside the volume of a glass sample creating type III modifications along a specific trajectory like pearls on a string. Superimposed by a feed of the glass sample a full 3D area of modifications is achieved building the cornerstone for subsequent etch processes. Based on KOH the modifications are selectively etched at a much higher rate compared to unmodified regions resulting in a separation of the glass along the trajectory of modifications. For gaining further insight into the etch process, we perform simulations on this wet chemical process and compare it to our experimental results.

description: In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes were synthesized using sol gel method and calcined at different temperatures ranging from 200 to 700°C. The specific surface area of TiO2 was found to decrease with the increase in calcination temperature. It was observed that adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on TiO2 NPs obeyed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm, and the isotherm parameters were calculated from equilibrium adsorption batch experiments. The kinetics of adsorption was best fitted by pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The effect of particle dosage on BSA adsorption was also studied and it was observed that the adsorption increased with the increase in particle dosage and decrease in particle size. The conformational changes of BSA on exposure to TiO2 NPs of various sizes were investigated using circular dichroism spectropolarimetry. The results suggested that BSA underwent a distortion in the secondary structure which was quantified by the percent α-helicity. A size-dependent distortion was observed. The α-helix content changed from 32.3% for pure BSA to 21.9% when exposed to NPs calcined at 200°C (350 mg/L) and to 28.4% for NPs calcined at 700°C at the same concentration.

description: Based on a study in three agro-pastoral dams in Nikki, Sakabansi, and Fombawi in northern Benin, this paper aims to characterize physical, chemical, and microbiological water quality of these agro-pastoral dams. The ecosystem services framework underlies this paper. Water of the three dams was sampled in the field and analysed at the laboratory. Means of variables were compared with standard values (norms) for drinking water set by both Benin and the World Health Organization. Agro-pastoral dams' water quality is problematic because of the significantly high levels of nitrite, nitrate, iron, and chemical oxygen demand. Water in these dams is unsuitable for both human and livestock consumption because it is contaminated with harmful bacteria including total Coliform, Escherichia coli, spores of Clostridium, Enterococcus feacalis, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, and Campylobacter jejuni. This study concluded that one solution for maintaining agro-pastoral ecosystem health consists of watershed management based on monitoring ecosystem services such as water quality.

description: Magneto-optical effects (MOE), interfacing the fundamental interplay between magnetism and light, have served as a powerful probe for magnetic order, band topology, and valley index. Here, based on multiferroic and topological bilayer antiferromagnets (AFMs), we propose a layer control of MOE (L-MOE), which is created and annihilated by layer-stacking or an electric field effect. The key character of L-MOE is the sign-reversible response controlled by ferroelectric polarization, the Neel vector, or the electric field direction. Moreover, the sign-reversible L-MOE can be quantized in topologically insulating AFMs. We reveal that the switchable L-MOE originates from the combined contributions of spin-conserving and spin-flip interband transitions in spin-valley splitting AFMs, a phenomenon not observed in conventional AFMs. Our findings bridge the ancient MOE to the emergent realms of layertronics, valleytronics, and multiferroics and may hold immense potential in these fields.

description: Rational design and green synthesis of low-cost and robust catalysts efficient for the selective oxidation of various alcohols are full of challenges. Herein, we report a fast and solvent-free arc-melting (AM) method to controllably synthesize semimetal CoSi alloy (abbreviated as AM-CoSi) that is efficient for the base- and solvent-free oxidation of six types of aromatic alcohols. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and aberration corrected high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscope (AC HAADF-STEM) confirmed the successful synthesis of AM-CoSi with rich Si vacancy (Siv). The as-prepared CoSi alloy catalysts exhibit an order of magnitude activity enhancement in the oxidation of model reactant benzyl alcohol (BAL) to benzyl benzoate (BBE) compared with its mono counterparts, whereas 70 % yield of BBE which is the highest yield to date. Experimental results and DFT calculations well verify that the CoSi alloy structure improves the BAL conversion and Si vacancy mainly contributes to the generation of BBE. After that, CoSi alloy maintains high stability and a potential pathway is rationally proposed. Besides, CoSi alloy also efficiently works for the selective oxidation of various alcohols with different groups. This work demonstrates for the first time that semimetal CoSi alloy is robust for the green oxidation of various alcohols and provides a vast opportunity for reasonable design and application of other semimetal alloy catalysts.

description: An efficient way to study the QCD phase diagram at small finite density is to extrapolate thermodynamical observables from imaginary chemical potential. The phase diagram features a crossover line starting from the transition temperature already determined at zero chemical potential. In this work we focus on the Taylor expansion of this line up to $μ^4$ contributions. We present the continuum extrapolation of the crossover temperature based on different observables at several lattice spacings.

description: Multilevel modeling and simulation (M&S) is becoming increasingly relevant due to the benefits that this methodology offers. Multilevel models allow users to describe a system at multiple levels of detail. From one side, this can make better use of computational resources, since the more detailed and time-consuming models can be executed only when/where required. From the other side, multilevel models can be assembled from existing components, cutting down development and verification/validation time. A downside of multilevel M&S is that the development process becomes more complex due to some recurrent issues caused by the very nature of multilevel models: how to make sub-models interoperate, how to orchestrate execution, how state variables are to be updated when changing scale, and so on. In this paper, we address some of these issues by presenting a set of design patterns that provide a systematic approach for designing and implementing multilevel models. The proposed design patterns cover multiple aspects, including how to represent different levels of detail, how to combine incompatible models, how to exchange data across models, and so on. Some of the patterns are derived from the general software engineering literature, while others are specific to the multilevel M&S application area.

description: In this study, TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) of different sizes were synthesized using sol gel method and calcined at different temperatures from 200 to 700 oC. The specific surface area of TiO2 was found to decrease with the increase in calcination temperature. It was observed that adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on TiO2 nanoparticles obeyed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm and the isotherm parameters were calculated from equilibrium adsorption batch experiments. The kinetics of adsorption was best fitted by pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The effect of particle dosage on BSA adsorption was also studied and it was observed that the adsorption increased with the increase in particle dosage and decrease in particle size. The conformational changes of BSA on exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles of various sizes was investigated using circular dichroism spectropolarimetry. The results suggested that BSA underwent a distortion in the secondary structure which was quantified by the % α-helicity. A size dependent distortion was observed. The α-helix content changed from 32.3% for pure BSA to 21.9% when exposed to NPs calcined at 200 oC (350 mg/L) and to 28.4% for NPs calcined at 700 oC at the same concentration.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The interaction between two co-propagating electrostatic wavepackets characterized by arbitrary carrier wavenumber is considered. A one-dimensional (1D) non-magnetized plasma model is adopted, consisting of a cold inertial ion fluid evolving against a thermalized (Maxwell-Boltzmann distributed) electron background. A multiple-scale perturbation method is employed to reduce the original model equations to a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations governing the dynamics of the wavepacket amplitudes (envelopes). The CNLS equations are in general asymmetric for arbitrary carrier wabvenumbers. Similar CNLS systems have been derived in the past in various physical contexts, and were found to support soliton, breather, and rogue wave solutions, among others. A detailed stability analysis reveals that modulational instability (MI) is possible in a wide range of values in the parameter space. The instability window and the corresponding growth rate are determined, considering different case studies, and their dependence on the carrier and the perturbation wavenumber is investigated from first principles. Wave-wave coupling is shown to favor MI occurrence by extending its range of occurrence and by enhancing its growth rate. Our findings generalize previously known results usually associated with symmetric NLS equations in nonlinear optics, though taking into account the difference between the different envelope wavenumbers and thus group velocities.
