Philosophy as Bad Poetry: Schopenhauer and Nietzsche on the Ancient Quarrel
Creators: name: Berdit, Bridget
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: In the final book of Plato's Republic, Socrates bans the poets from his ideal city. According to Socrates, the poets bring about corruption and decadence: instead of pursuing and producing the truth, poets reproduce falsehoods ' 'images' as opposed to 'the originals.' Only the philosophers, Socrates says, oversee the truth. However, Arthur Schopenhauer, the self-proclaimed inheritor of Platonic philosophy, seems to flip this idea on its head. Poets do manufacture images, but these images, Schopenhauer claims, are knowledge par excellence. In this paper, I explore Schopenhauer's contribution to the 'ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry' and argue that, for him, poetry is not only a truth-tracking endeavor, but is invaluable to the practice of philosophy itself. I, then, turn to Schopenhauer's 'son,' 'pupil,' and 'born psychologist,' Friedrich Nietzsche, to examine the relationship between poetry and health. I conclude by suggesting some implications that Schopenhauer's aesthetic theory might have for contemporary philosophers.
Ingroup Attitude: A Reliance-Based Analysis
Creators: name: Zhang, Xin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: People as group members tend to exhibit a partial attitude to either conform to the dominant group view or form beliefs'such as climate change denial and religious belief'based on other ingroup members' testimony when the evidence for such a belief is insufficient. Philosophers have conceptualized this phenomenon of ingroup attitudes in terms of belief. In this paper, I argue that reliance, a cognitive attitude that is goal-oriented and primarily regulated by pragmatic concerns, is more fitting to illuminate cases of ingroup attitudes. Framing the discussion of ingroup attitudes in terms of reliance has three virtues: it captures the volitional aspect of the ingroup attitude that the norm governing belief fails to offer; it explains the indifference to evidence that occurs in cases of ingroup attitudes; and it resolves the seeming irrationality in acting against what one believes.
Modern Adobe: Preservation of Pre and Post World War II Residential Construction in Southern California

description: Pre- and post-World War II (1920-1965) modern residential adobe construction in Southern California is poorly understood primarily because it has not been adequately defined, studied or documented. Efforts directed at preserving these important adobe buildings of the recent historic past have too often failed because distinct elements contributing to their cultural and historical significance and value have remained indeterminate in the literature and these values are not recognized by the public. The thesis research examines this fundamental question: How can the distinctive and significant architectural characteristics and construction methods of pre- and post- World War II period residential adobe construction in Southern California be identified, detailed and interpreted to aid in their ultimate preservation? The thesis begins with a contextual summary and historical overview of adobe construction, and follows with an examination of the building traditions and periods in California architecture that influenced and contributed to the modern adobe style. The study explores the architectural, economic, environmental, cultural, and social influences that shaped and inspired the adobe builders of the period. The thesis study presents and establishes a detailed historical context for the interpretation and understanding of the history and significance of pre- and post-World War II adobe home construction in Southern California (1920-1965). The work of architects and builders as “masters” of creating adobe homes and vernacular adobe houses influenced by “how-to-do” publications is discussed. The critical features that define the adobe are described in depth. A definitive and comprehensive bibliography containing hundreds of resources devoted to the topic is included to generate and expand the reader’s understanding of, and appreciation for, modern adobe. With this knowledge, one can confidently add a Modern Adobe Period and description to the building chronology. My research findings demonstrate and confirm that many of the modern adobe homes that remain today are distinct and worthy of preservation efforts. These homes reflect a continued and proud practice of adobe building in California. A modern adobe skillfully blends the best elements of traditional building method and practice, contemporary design techniques and material—they are the last of a type and must be saved.
What Can an Evolutionary Explanation Bring to The Demarcation of The Normal from The  Pathological in Psychiatry' Nesse's Case of Depression
Creators: name: Malouchou Kanellopoulou, Chrysi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Randolph Nesse argues that evolutionary theory is the key element in elaborating a valid criterion demarcating the normal from the pathological in psychiatry (Nesse, 2001, 2009, 2015, 2017). By focusing on the application of Nesse's criterion on the demarcation of normal low mood from pathological depression, I argue ' contrary to Nesse's claims ' that evolutionary theory cannot generate a valid criterion from the differentiation of normal low mood states from pathological depression. Indeed, expression in conformity to evolved functions cannot constitute a sufficient condition for normality, as Nesse's project should imply. Moreover, grounding normality in evolved functions presupposes a kind of fixity of our emotional states, which seems unwarranted in the light of a constantly changing environment. As a result of these limitations, I suggest that the relevant distinction in psychiatry should not be 'normality' versus 'abnormality', but, rather, 'that which requires intervention' versus 'that which does not'.
Moved by Sad Music: Pleasure and Emotion in Sad Music Listening Experiences
Creators: name: Dunaway, Matthew
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, I consider the dialectic surrounding the Puzzle of Musical Tragedy i.e. why do people listen to sad music that makes them sad' I agree with Sizer (2019) that the best solutions to this puzzle construe the listening experience itself as pleasant. However, against Sizer, I argue that the feelings music induces are best construed as emotions, not moods. Since sad music can promote the perception of a sad person, I argue that music can be an unconscious object of one's sad feelings. This suggests that sadness ' not sad mood ' best characterizes the experience of listening to sad music. Further, I argue that Sizer neglects the influence of a pleasant emotion induced by sad music that explains why listening to sad music is pleasant: Being Moved. I conclude that Sizer offers a counterproductive characterization of the Puzzle of Musical Tragedy.
Non-Propositional Attitudes Supervene on Disjunctive Propositional Attitude Complexes
Creators: name: Guillemette, Steven
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Propositionalism is the widely held view that intentional attitudes are fundamentally and predicatively propositional. In contrast, objectualism is the view that a particular class of intentional attitudes'for example, love, fear, like, and hate'bears no relation to a proposition or state of affairs nor does their content make reference to objects by predicating something of them. This paper challenges the objectualist view. While I do not deny that non-propositional attitudes are real mental states, I do deny that they are metaphysically independent from propositional ones. To that end, I proffer an account whereby non-propositional attitudes supervene on possible disjunctive complexes of propositional attitudes, and I defend its merits over objectualism. I argue that my propositional account provides an intuitive framework to index polysemous attitudes and explain a variety of intentional behaviors whereas objectualism does not.
Search for a CP-odd Higgs boson decaying into a heavy CP-even Higgs boson and a Z boson in the ℓ +ℓ −tt¯ and ννb¯ ¯b fnal states using 140 fb−1 of data collected with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2024

description: A search for a heavy CP-odd Higgs boson, A, decaying into a Z boson and a heavy CP-even Higgs boson, H, is presented. It uses the full LHC Run 2 dataset of pp collisions at √ s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1 . The search for A → ZH is performed in the ℓ +ℓ −tt¯ and ννb¯ ¯b fnal states and surpasses the reach of previous searches in diferent fnal states in the region with mH > 350 GeV and mA > 800 GeV. No signifcant deviation from the Standard Model expectation is found. Upper limits are placed on the production cross-section times the decay branching ratios. Limits with less model dependence are also presented as functions of the reconstructed m(tt¯) and m(b ¯b) distributions in the ℓ +ℓ −tt¯ and ννb¯ ¯b channels, respectively. In addition, the results are interpreted in the context of two-Higgs-doublet models.

description: Recycling textile fibers is critical to reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry. Hyperspectral near-infrared (NIR) imaging combined with advanced deep learning algorithms offers a promising solution for efficient fiber classification and sorting. In this study, we investigate supervised and unsupervised deep learning models and test their generalization capabilities on different textile structures. We show that optimized convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and autoencoder networks achieve robust generalization under varying conditions. These results highlight the potential of hyperspectral imaging and deep learning to advance sustainable textile recycling through accurate and robust classification.

In Defense of Sex Work Decriminalization: A Case Against the Nordic Model

description: I argue that sex work should be fully decriminalized for both the seller and the buyer. To make my case, I summarize the Nordic Model of sex work and critically assess both the practical and theoretical problems the Nordic Model poses for sex workers (Section 2). In Section 3, I argue that full decriminalization is favorable in all cases''especially when we consider the most vulnerable workers'because it better promotes worker autonomy, financial stability, safety from clients and law enforcement, as well avoids undue harms such as jailtime, legal fees, and deportation in the case of undocumented or insecurely documented workers.

description: In this work, we revisit existing oracle generation studies plus ChatGPT to empirically investigate the current standing of their performance in both NLG-based and test adequacy metrics. Specifically, we train and run four state-of-the-art test oracle generation models on five NLG-based and two test adequacy metrics for our analysis. We apply two different correlation analyses between these two different sets of metrics. Surprisingly, we found no significant correlation between the NLG-based metrics and test adequacy metrics. For instance, oracles generated from ChatGPT on the project activemq-artemis had the highest performance on all the NLG-based metrics among the studied NOGs, however, it had the most number of projects with a decrease in test adequacy metrics compared to all the studied NOGs. We further conduct a qualitative analysis to explore the reasons behind our observations, we found that oracles with high NLG-based metrics but low test adequacy metrics tend to have complex or multiple chained method invocations within the oracle's parameters, making it hard for the model to generate completely, affecting the test adequacy metrics. On the other hand, oracles with low NLG-based metrics but high test adequacy metrics tend to have to call different assertion types or a different method that functions similarly to the ones in the ground truth. Overall, this work complements prior studies on test oracle generation with an extensive performance evaluation with both NLG and test adequacy metrics and provides guidelines for better assessment of deep learning applications in software test generation in the future.

Why Ralph Waldo Emerson Is A Virtue Ethicist
Creators: name: Porzenheim, Christopher
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: Ralph Waldo Emerson's status as a canonical figure in American history and literature is firmly established, but there is little agreement on his place within the philosophical canon. The most prominent interpretations classify him as either a 'pragmatist' or an 'Emersonian moral perfectionist.' Yet, there is no consensus on whether these labels are accurate. I argue for an alternative hermeneutic approach to Emerson. Emerson should be read as a virtue ethicist.
Does Anti-Imperialism Entail Anti-Paternalism?
Creators: name: Crean, Thomas
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Advocates of systems of coercive paternalism argue that persons are, on average, incapable of or inadequate at achieving their interests. Given this, philosophers like Sarah Conly believe the best route is reducing the number of autonomous choices people must make and providing them only with the options geared most toward their interests. Against Conly, I argue that support for coercively paternalist governance shares structural features with support for imperialistic governance. Because both coercive paternalism and imperialism involve the same structural defects, that is, a lack of equality and reciprocity, political philosophers ought to condemn the former just as they do the latter.
Moral Solidarity, Relationships and Relational Egalitarianism
Creators: name: Green, Sabrina
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: In my thesis, I consider Jean Harvey's account of moral solidarity. Harvey claims that solidarity only occurs between people who share a personal relationship. I raise a concern regarding the limited scope of Harvey's account of moral solidarity. I challenge the view that one cannot extend the concerns they have for a friend experiencing injustice to a stranger who is also experiencing the same injustice. In order to address this concern and defend Harvey's account of solidarity, I offer a friendly amendment to her account. By drawing on Samuel Scheffler's account of relational egalitarianism, and in light of the relationships citizens may share with one another, I expand the types of relationships that should be considered solidarity under an account such as Harvey's My account thus defends a more expansive view of solidarity than that of Harvey.

description: Aiming at a general description of four basic solutions describing the accretion processes, i.e., the Shakura-Sunyaev thin disc (SSD), the Shapiro-Lightman-Eardley solution (SLE), the slim disc, and the advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF), we present generalized axisymmetric height-averaged equations, where the entropy advection, the radiation pressure, and photon trapping effect are all included self-consistently. Our generalized solution can reproduce the ADAF, SLE, SSD, and slim disc branches in a wide range of accretion rates from sub- to super-Eddington accretion. An S-curve in the $\dot{m}-Σ$ plane is also reproduced, representing the SSD branch, the radiation-pressure-dominant branch, and the slim disc branch. The solution gives a natural transition between SSD and slim disc when photon trapping occurs in the accretion flow, producing a radially hybrid SSD-slim disc structure in a certain range of accretion rates. The coexistence of ADAF and SSD below a critical accretion rate is clearly shown with distinct advection fraction of accretion energy. We also present the luminosity, radiation efficiency, and spectrum from the generalized solutions for a large range of accretion rates in stellar mass black holes.

Nietzsche's Scala Amoris: Nietzsche and Diotima on Eros and Philosophy
Creators: name: Murphy, Paul
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Nietzsche's conception of eros and its role in the development of philosophers is similar to the conception of those same topics espoused by Diotima in Plato's Symposium. Nietzsche and Diotima agree that eros is an insatiable desire to possess the beautiful, that eros aims at immortality through reproduction, and that philosophy requires an ascent beyond sexual desire to 'higher' forms of eros, which nevertheless are still modeled on heterosexual reproduction. Understanding these facets of Nietzsche's view leads to an apparent contradiction in that Nietzsche thinks of philosophy on the model of reproduction and ascribes to the philosopher both the female and the male roles in heterosexual reproduction. I argue that this ambivalence reflects Nietzsche's view that practicing philosophy requires balancing two conflicting philosophical tendencies: on the one hand, pursuit of truth, which involves dissatisfaction with oneself; on the other hand, creation, which involves acknowledgment of one's own capacity and value.
Self-identification
Creators: name: Rifkin, Maximiliana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Here, I first analyze gender identity qua gender self-ascription and offer a theory of the psychological states underpinning gender self-ascriptions, which I call a form of 'self-identification'. I hold gender self-identification consists of a gender self-concept, which itself consists of a belief or assumption in a context, and sometimes involves a gender role ideal, which consists of an individual's expectations and standards for how to perform a gender role. Second, I defend my view from an objection to similar views like it, which amounts to the claim that they cannot explain nonbinary gender identities, by showing how my account explains various nonbinary gender identities in psychological terms. Finally, I show how my view can begin stabilizing the construct of gender identity in neuroscience by helping researchers foster agreement on how to define gender identity and what methods are best to study it.

Infinite Monkeys: Nietzsche and the Cruel Optimism of Personal Immortality
Creators: name: Johnson, Robert
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2022

description: Nietzsche is a popular source of inspiration for transhumanist writers. Some, such as Sorgner (2009) and More (2010), argue that Nietzsche ought to be considered a precursor of the movement. Transhumanism is a philosophy committed to the desirability of using technology to transform human beings, through significant alteration of their brains and bodies, into a new posthuman species. One of the defining characteristics of transhumanism is the desire for personal immortality. I argue that this feature of transhumanism is wholly incompatible with Nietzsche's philosophy, and a close examination of this disagreement brings out the degree to which transhumanists and Nietzsche differ in their values and philosophical commitments. Nietzsche does not think that personal immortality is desirable or metaphysically possible. I show that his views have more in common with philosophers like Bernard Williams and Derek Parfit than they do with transhumanism.

title: Embedding problems in graphs and hypergraphs
Creators: name: Hng, Eng Keat
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, we explore several mathematical questions about substructures in graphs and hypergraphs, focusing on algorithmic methods and notions of regularity for graphs and hypergraphs. We investigate conditions for a graph to contain powers of paths and cycles of arbitrary specified linear lengths. Using the well-established graph regularity method, we determine precise minimum degree thresholds for sufficiently large graphs and show that the extremal behaviour is governed by a family of explicitly given extremal graphs. This extends an analogous result of Allen, Böttcher and Hladký for squares of paths and cycles of arbitrary specified linear lengths and confirms a conjecture of theirs. Given positive integers k and j with j < k, we study the length of the longest j-tight path in the binomial random k-uniform hypergraph Hk(n, p). We show that this length undergoes a phase transition from logarithmic to linear and determine the critical threshold for this phase transition. We also prove upper and lower bounds on the length in the subcritical and supercritical ranges. In particular, for the supercritical case we introduce the Pathfinder algorithm, a depth-first search algorithm which discovers j-tight paths in a k-uniform hypergraph. We prove that, in the supercritical case, with high probability this algorithm finds a long j-tight path. Finally, we investigate the embedding of bounded degree hypergraphs into large sparse hypergraphs. The blow-up lemma is a powerful tool for embedding bounded degree spanning subgraphs with wide-ranging applications in extremal graph theory. We prove a sparse hypergraph analogue of the blow-up lemma, showing that large sparse partite complexes with sufficiently regular small subcomplex counts and no atypical vertices behave as if they were complete for the purpose of embedding complexes with bounded degree and bounded partite structure.
Artificial Potential Field and Sliding Mode Control for Spacecraft Attitude Maneuver with Actuation and Pointing Constraints

description: This study investigates the combination of guidance and control strategies for rigid spacecraft attitude reorientation, while dealing with forbidden pointing constraints, actuator limitations, and system uncertainties. These constraints arise due to the presence of bright objects in space that may damage sensitive payloads onboard the spacecraft, and the risk that actuator saturations may compromise closed-loop system stability. Furthermore, spacecraft attitude dynamics are typically affected by parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, and system nonlinearities, which cannot be neglected. In this article, the problem of spacecraft reorientation under pointing and actuation constraints is addressed using a strategy that combines Artificial Potential Field (APF) and Sliding Mode Control (SMC). A rigorous Lyapunov-based analysis yields closed-form expressions for APF/SMC gains, providing explicit mathematical formulas for gain values without the need for iterative computations. These expressions account for angular velocity and control torque limitations, external disturbances, and inertia uncertainties. The robustness of the proposed control strategy is demonstrated through Monte Carlo simulations using a high-fidelity attitude dynamics simulator. Additionally, mu-analysis is employed to assess local stability properties and quantify robustness margins. The results confirm the practical feasibility of the proposed method in real-world space scenarios, highlighting its effectiveness in uncertain and constrained environments.

description: In an atom-photon interacting system described by Tavis Cummings Hubbard (TCH) model, we demonstrate the emergence of a quasi-steady state in a dissipative environment that exhibits intriguing ergodic behavior. The TCH model undergoes a dissipative transition from normal to superradiant phase hosting a gapped Higgs and gapless Goldstone modes. However, in a large region of the phase diagram, the instability of the Goldstone mode leads to the disappearance of the stable superradiant phase. In this regime, the decorrelator dynamics reveals light cone spreading of the perturbations and positive Lyapunov exponent, indicating enhanced fluctuations. Remarkably, a quasi-steady state emerges under quench dynamics in this unstable regime; in this state, a class of collective quantities such as site averaged photon number and atomic excitations approach a steady value, in spite of large temporal fluctuations in corresponding microscopic variables. This quasi-steady state describes an incoherent fluid of photons with significant phase fluctuation. The phase space dynamics reveals a fascinating ergodic behavior in presence of dissipation, leading to the characterization of the dynamical variables into two distinct classes. The first class includes site-averaged photon numbers and atomic excitations; these exhibit a stationary distribution regardless of the initial condition indicating ergodic behavior. The second class of variables, particularly those related to phase in contrast, retain information about the initial conditions, resulting in a violation of ergodicity for finite size system. Additionally, the dynamical variables of the ergodic class exhibit fascinating collective scarring phenomenon as the peak of their distribution is attracted towards the unstable steady state, analogous to the single particle quantum scar. We discuss the relevance of our findings in the current experiments.

description: In the forefront of ophthalmic innovation, biomimetic 3D printing and bioprinting technologies are redefining patient-specific therapeutic strategies. This critical review systematically evaluates their application spectrum, spanning oculoplastic reconstruction, retinal tissue engineering, corneal transplantation, and targeted glaucoma treatments. It highlights the intricacies of these technologies, including the fundamental principles, advanced materials, and bioinks that facilitate the replication of ocular tissue architecture. The synthesis of primary studies from 2014 to 2023 provides a rigorous analysis of their evolution and current clinical implications. This review is unique in its holistic approach, juxtaposing the scientific underpinnings with clinical realities, thereby delineating the advantages over conventional modalities, and identifying translational barriers. It elucidates persistent knowledge deficits and outlines future research directions. It ultimately accentuates the imperative for multidisciplinary collaboration to enhance the clinical integration of these biotechnologies, culminating in a paradigm shift towards individualized ophthalmic care.

description: We investigate experimentally the dissolution of an almost spherical butyramide particle during its sedimentation, in the low Reynolds high Péclet regime. The particle sediments in a quiescent aqueous solution, and its shape and position are measured simultaneously by a camera attached to a translation stage. The particle is tracked in real time, and the translation stage moves accordingly to keep the particle in the field of the camera. The measurements from the particle image show that the radius shrinking rate is constant with time, and independent of the initial radius of the particle. We explain this with a simple model, based on the sedimentation law in the Stokes' regime and the mass transfer rate at low Reynolds and high Péclet numbers. The theoretical and experimental results are consistent within $20\%$. We introduce two correction factors to take into account the non-sphericity of the particle and the inclusions of air bubbles inside the particle, and reach quantitative agreement. With these corrections, the indirect measurement of the radius shrinking rate deduced from the position measurement is also in agreement with the model. We discuss other correction factors, and explain why there are negligible in the present experiment. We also compute the effective Sherwood number as a function of an effective Péclet number.

description: The nuclear regions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) likely host clumpy clouds that occasionally obscure the central X-ray source, causing eclipse events. These events offer a unique opportunity to study the properties and origins of such clouds. However, these transient events are rarely reported due to the need for extensive, long-term X-ray monitoring for years. Here, we conduct a systematic search for eclipse events in 40 AGNs well-monitored by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) over the past 20 years, comprising a total of $\sim$11,000 observations. Our selection criteria rely on significant variations in X-ray flux and spectral shape. We identify 3 high-confidence events in 3 AGNs and 8 candidates in 6 AGNs, all in type I AGNs. The observed clouds have column densities of $N_{\rm H}~\sim$ (0.2 $-$ 31.2) $\times$ 10$^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ and ionization degrees of log $ξ$ $\sim$ (-1.3 $-$ 2.2). For the 5 events with well-constrained duration, their distances from the central black hole range from (2.4 $-$ 179) $\times$ 10$^{4}$ $R_{\rm g}$, with 2 clouds near the dust sublimation zone, 2 farther out. Interestingly, we find tentative correlations between the cloud properties (i.e. ionization state and column density) and the black hole mass and mass accretion rate, implying their strong connection to the accretion process, potentially via outflows. Our study also demonstrates the potential of the new X-ray all-sky monitor, Einstein Probe, in providing more detection and physical constraints for such events.

description: So far, exciton-polariton (polariton) lasers were mostly single mode lasers based on microcavities. Despite the large repulsive polariton-polariton interaction, pulsed mode-locked polariton laser was never reported. Here, we use a $60 \ μm-$long GaN-based waveguide surrounded by distributed Bragg reflectors forming a multi-mode horizontal cavity. We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically a polariton mode-locked micro-laser operating in the blue-UV, at room temperature, with a 300$\ GHz$ repetition rate and 100$\ fs$-long pulses. The mode locking is demonstrated by the compensation (linearization) of the mode dispersion by the self-phase modulation induced by the polariton-polariton interaction. It is also supported by the observation in experiment and theory of the typical envelope frequency profile of a bright soliton.

description: We consider the 3-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with average nonlinearity. This is a limiting model of NLS with strong magnetic confinement and a generalized model of the resonant system of NLS with a partial harmonic oscillator in terms of nonlinear power. We provide a new proof for the conservation law of kinetic energy and remove the restriction on nonlinearity. Moreover, in the case of focusing, super-quintic, and sub-nonic, we construct a new ground-state solution and classify the behavior of the solutions below the ground state. We demonstrate a sharp threshold for scattering and blow-up.

description: The sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are FDA-approved class of drugs for diabetes management. They improve glycemic control by inducing glucosuria. Notwithstanding with potent anti-hyperglycemic activity, SGLT2 inhibitors are emerging as drugs with multifaceted therapeutic potential, evidenced for cardioprotective, renoprotective, antihypertensive, and neuroprotective activities. Continuous attempts are being accomplished through structural modification, development of new formulation, or combination with other drugs, to enhance the bioactivity spectrum of SGLT2 inhibitors for better management of diabetes and related complications. This review comprises a summary of patent applications, acquired using the Espacenet Patent Search database, concerning SGLT2 inhibitors from 2019 to 2023, with focus on improving therapeutic potentials in management of diabetes and metabolic complications. SGLT2 inhibitors have provided an exciting treatment option for diabetes. Originally developed as anti-hyperglycemic agents, SGLT2 inhibitors exert pleiotropic metabolic responses and have emerged as promising antidiabetic agents with cardio-protective and reno-protective activities. Given their distinct therapeutic profile, SGLT2 inhibitors have revolutionized the management of diabetes and associated complications. Emerging evidences on their therapeutic potential against cancer, male reproductive dysfunctions, and neurodegenerative diseases indicate that further research in this field may unfold novel prospective on their plausible use in the management of other chronic conditions.
Empirical Investigation into ICT Services Evaluation Within a Public Institution

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The aim of the paper is to investigate the quality of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)services provided to employees in a public administration organization. The Region of Central Macedonia(RCM) was chosen as the examined enterprise/organization. The provider of these services is exclusivelythe Department for Transparency and eGovernment (DTeG). After a presentation of the theory behindservice quality measurement in general and in ICTs specifically, a quantitative research was carried out,utilizing a SERVPERF-derived, ICT-adapted, short form 13-item/4-dimension instrument approach. Thisresearch indicated that RCM employees value both the quality of the ICT services, as well as thesatisfaction from them, as provided by DTeG, highly. The adapted SERVPERF instrument exhibited highinternal consistency values, as well as strong correlation between its items and the overall perceivedquality and satisfaction. Dimensionality tests indicated that two dimensions of the service qualityconstructs are measured: a combined “reliability”, “responsiveness” and “assurance” dimension and an“empathy” one. the findings can be used by the targeted organization to improve the quality of ICTservices and better meet the needs of their users.

description: The mechanism by which an effective macroscopic description of quantum measurement in terms of discrete, probabilistic collapse events emerges from the reversible microscopic dynamics remains an enduring open question. Emerging quantum computers offer a promising platform to explore how measurement processes evolve across a range of system sizes while retaining coherence. Here, we report the experimental observation of evidence for an observable-sharpening measurement-induced phase transition in a chain of trapped ions in Quantinuum H1-1 system model quantum processor. This transition manifests as a sharp, concomitant change in both the quantum uncertainty of an observable and the amount of information an observer can (in principle) learn from the measurement record, upon increasing the strength of measurements. We leverage insights from statistical mechanical models and machine learning to design efficiently-computable algorithms to observe this transition (without non-scalable post-selection on measurement outcomes) and to mitigate the effects on errors in noisy hardware.
