description: Empirical studies of religion’s role in society, especially those focused on individuals and analyzing survey data, conceptualize and measure religiosity on a single measure or a summary index of multiple measures. Other concepts, such as “lived religion,” “believing without belonging,” or “fuzzy fidelity,” emphasize what scholars have noted for decades: humans are rarely consistently low, medium, or high across dimensions of religiosity including institutional involvement, private practice, salience, or belief. A method with great promise for identifying population patterns in how individuals combine types and levels of belief, practice, and personal religious salience is latent class analysis. In this paper, we use data from the first wave of the National Study of Youth and Religion’s telephone survey to discuss how to select indicators of religiosity in an informed manner, as well as the implications of the number and types of indicators used for model fit. We identify five latent classes of religiosity among adolescents in the United States and their socio-demographic correlates. Our findings highlight the value of a person-centered approach to understanding how religion is lived by American adolescents.

description: "On the Distortion of Time: An Unexplored Ego Defense Mechanism" by Alexander G. Fowler, written in October 2023, dives deep into the human psyche's defense mechanisms, building upon Freudian psychoanalytic theory. Central to this paper is the notion that altering time perception is a legitimate defense mechanism of the ego. This distortion can either make painful experiences seem more distant or hasten the arrival of pleasurable events. Drawing parallels with well-known defenses such as repression and denial, the paper presents time distortion as a shield against anxieties and traumas. Moreover, the research delves into the relationship between projection and how we perceive time. Critics may regard time distortion as merely a cognitive or biological event, but this paper emphasizes its consistent role in ego-threatening situations, suggesting an underlying unconscious defense mechanism. The paper challenges the view that time distortion is a conscious choice, indicating its often uncontrollable nature. In the broader realm of psychoanalytic theory, accepting time distortion as an ego defense mechanism provides novel insights, encouraging more adaptive coping strategies and a genuine engagement with time's passage.

description: Few studies have examined the migration and acculturation experiences of Latino youth in a newly emerging Latino community, communities that historically have had low numbers of Latino residents. This study uses in-depth interview data from the Latino Adolescent, Migration, Health, and Adaptation (LAMHA) project, a mixed-methods study, to document the experiences of Latino youth (ages 14–18) growing up in one emerging Latino community in the South – North Carolina. Using adolescent’s own words and descriptions, we show how migration can turn an adolescent’s world upside down, and we discover the adaptive strategies that Latino immigrant youth use to turn their world right-side up as they adapt to life in the U.S.

description: Deep surface photometry reveals the presence in a good number of galaxy clusters, as well as in their
 smaller counterparts, galaxy groups, of an extended, diffuse luminous component that fills the space
 between galaxies. This intracluster light (ICL) is believed to originate from the disruption of the outermost
 regions of the galaxies that make up these systems.
 Our aim in this work is to make use of controlled numerical simulations of pre-virialized clusters to study
 the formation of the diffuse ICL, and investigate its potential to describe the assembly history of such
 systems of galaxies.
 We are currently using our simulations to track the growth of the ICL over cosmic time, tracing its
 evolution across clusters spanning a range of masses and galaxy memberships. Here, we present our
 first results, where we analyzed the relationship of ICL formation with the mass and size of the brightest
 galaxy in the cluster and its dependence on both the merger fraction and the efficiency of interactions.

description: Research on health disparities and determinants of health disparities among ethnic minorities and vulnerable older populations necessitates use of self-report measures. Most established instruments were developed on mainstream populations and may need adaptation for research with diverse populations. Although information is increasingly available on various problems using these measures in diverse groups, there is little guidance on how to modify the measures. We provide a framework of issues to consider when modifying measures for diverse populations.

description: Selecting the appropriate requirements to develop in the next release of an open market software product under evolution, is a compulsory step of each software development project. This selection should be done by maximizing stakeholders' satisfaction and minimizing development costs, while keeping constraints. In this work we investigate what is the requirements interactions impact when searching for solutions of the bi-objective Next Release Problem. In one hand, these interactions are explicitly included in two algorithms: a branch and bound algorithm and an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA). And on the other, we study the performance of these not previously used solving approaches by applying them in several instances of small, medium and large size data sets. We find that interactions inclusion do enhance the search and when time restrictions exists, as in the case of the bi-objective Next Release Problem, EDAs have proven to be stable and reliable locating a large number of solutions on the reference Pareto front.

description: In this work we design a receiver that iteratively passes soft information between the channel estimation and data decoding stages. The receiver incorporates sparsity-based parametric channel estimation. State-of-the-art sparsity-based iterative receivers simplify the channel estimation problem by restricting the multipath delays to a grid. Our receiver does not impose such a restriction. As a result it does not suffer from the leakage effect, which destroys sparsity. Communication at near capacity rates in high SNR requires a large modulation order. Due to the close proximity of modulation symbols in such systems, the grid-based approximation is of insufficient accuracy. We show numerically that a state-of-the-art iterative receiver with grid-based sparse channel estimation exhibits a bit-error-rate floor in the high SNR regime. On the contrary, our receiver performs very close to the perfect channel state information bound for all SNR values. We also demonstrate both theoretically and numerically that parametric channel estimation works well in dense channels, i.e., when the number of multipath components is large and each individual component cannot be resolved.

description: Gravitational wave memory is an important prediction of general relativity. The detection of the gravitational wave memory can be used to test general relativity and to deduce the property of the gravitational wave source. Quantitative model is important for such detection and signal interpretation. Previous works on gravitational wave memory always use the energy flux of gravitational wave to calculate memory. Such relation between gravitational wave energy and memory has only been validated for post-Newtonian approximation. The result of numerical relativity about gravitational wave memory is not confident yet. Accurately calculating memory is highly demanded. Here we propose a new method to calculate the gravitational wave memory. This method is based on Bondi-Metzner-Sachs theory. Consequently our method does not need slow motion and weak field conditions for gravitational wave source. Our new method can accurately calculate memory if the non-memory waveform is known. As an example, we combine our method with matured numerical relativity result about non-memory waveform for binary black hole coalescence. We calculate the waveform for memory which can be used to aid memory detection and gravitational wave source understanding. Our calculation result confirms preliminary numerical relativity result about memory. We find out the dependence of the memory amplitude to the mass ratio and the spins of the two spin aligned black holes.

description: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) often presages development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We recently completed a cross-sectional study to test the hypothesis that a combination of a brief cognitive screening instrument (Mini-Cog) with a functional scale (Functional Activities Questionnaire; FAQ) would accurately identify individuals with MCI and undiagnosed dementia. The Mini-Cog consists of a clock drawing task and 3-item recall, and takes less than 5 minutes to administer. The FAQ is a 30-item questionnaire completed by an informant. In addition to the Mini-Cog and FAQ, a traditional cognitive test battery was administered, and two neurologists and a neuropsychologist determined a consensus diagnosis of Normal, MCI, or Dementia. A classification tree algorithm was used to pick optimal cutpoints, and, using these cutpoints, the combined Mini-Cog and FAQ (MC-FAQ) predicted the consensus diagnosis with an accuracy of 83% and a weighted kappa of 0.81. When the population was divided into Normal and Abnormal, the sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value were 89%, 90%, and 95%, respectively. The MC-FAQ discriminates individuals with MCI from cognitively normal individuals and those with dementia, and its ease of administration makes it an attractive screening instrument to aid detection of cognitive impairment in the elderly.

description: Abstract concepts play a central role in human behaviour and constitute a critical component of the human conceptual system. Here, we investigate the neural basis of four types of abstract concepts, examining their similarities and differences through neuroimaging meta-analyses. We examine numerical and emotional concepts, and two higher-order abstract processes, morality judgements and theory of mind. Three main findings emerge. First, representation of abstract concepts is more widespread than is often assumed. Second, representations of different types of abstract concepts differ in important respects. Each of the domains examined here was associated with some unique areas. Third, some areas were commonly activated across domains and included inferior parietal, posterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex. We interpret these regions in terms of their role in episodic recall, event representation and social–emotional processing. We suggest that different types of abstract concepts can be represented and grounded through differing contributions from event-based, interoceptive, introspective and sensory-motor representations. The results underscore the richness and diversity of abstract concepts, argue against single-mechanism accounts for representation of all types of abstract concepts and suggest mechanisms for their direct and indirect grounding.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Varieties of abstract concepts: development, use and representation in the brain’.

description: Near-field imaging has emerged as a reliable probe of the dielectric function of van der Waals crystals. In principle, analyzing the propagation patterns of subwavelength waveguide modes (WMs) allows for extraction of the full dielectric tensor. Yet previous studies have mostly been restricted to high-symmetry materials or narrowband probing. Here, we resolve in-plane anisotropic WMs in thin rhenium disulfide (ReS2) crystals across a wide range of near-infrared frequencies. By tracing the evolution of these modes as a function of crystallographic direction, polarization of the electric field and sample thickness, we have determined the anisotropic dielectric tensor including the elusive out-of-plane response. The excitonic absorption at ~1.5 eV manifests itself as a clear backbending feature in the WM dispersion and a reduction of the quality factors as fully supported by numerical calculations. Our results extend the sensitivity of near-field microscopy towards biaxial anisotropy and provide key insights into the optoelectronic properties of ReS2.

description: We consider the transport of non-interacting electrons on two- and three-dimensional random Voronoi-Delaunay lattices. It was recently shown that these topologically disordered lattices feature strong disorder anticorrelations between the coordination numbers that qualitatively change the properties of continuous and first-order phase transitions. To determine whether or not these unusual features also influence Anderson localization, we study the electronic wave functions by multifractal analysis and finite-size scaling. We observe only localized states for all energies in the two-dimensional system. In three dimensions, we find two Anderson transitions between localized and extended states very close to the band edges. The critical exponent of the localization length is about 1.6. All these results agree with the usual orthogonal universality class. Additional generic energetic randomness introduced via random potentials does not lead to qualitative changes but allows us to obtain a phase diagram by varying the strength of these potentials.

description: The growing public threat of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has raised the urgency to discover and validate prognostic biomarkers in order to predicting time to onset of AD. It is anticipated that both whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data and high dimensional whole brain imaging data offer predictive values to identify subjects at risk for progressing to AD. The aim of this paper is to test whether both whole genome SNP data and whole brain imaging data offer predictive values to identify subjects at risk for progressing to AD. In 343 subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) enrolled in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI-1), we extracted high dimensional MR imaging (volumetric data on 93 brain regions plus a surface fluid registration based hippocampal subregion and surface data), and whole genome data (504,095 SNPs from GWAS), as well as routine neurocognitive and clinical data at baseline. MCI patients were then followed over 48 months, with 150 participants progressing to AD. Combining information from whole brain MR imaging and whole genome data was substantially superior to the standard model for predicting time to onset of AD in a 48-month national study of subjects at risk. Our findings demonstrate the promise of combined imaging-whole genome prognostic markers in people with mild memory impairment.

Especially, it is found that the dynamical structure of the irrotational type with most triaxial deformation ($γ=30^\circ$) is equivalent to that of the rigid type with oblate deformation ($γ=60^\circ$), and the associated spectrum can be classified into the standard rotational bands obeying the rotational $L(L+1)$-law or regrouped into a new ground- and $γ$-band with odd-even staggering in the new $γ$-band commonly recognized as a signature of the triaxiality. The differences between the two types of the model in this case are emphasized especially on the E2 transitional characters.

description: In social mole-rats, breeding females are larger and more elongated than non-breeding female helpers. This status-related morphological divergence is thought to arise from modifications of skeletal growth following the death or removal of the previous breeder and the transition of their successors from a non-breeding to a breeding role. However, it is not clear what changes in growth are involved, whether they are stimulated by the relaxation of reproductive suppression or by changes in breeding status, or whether they are associated with fecundity increases. Here, we show that, in captive Damaraland mole-rats (Fukomys damarensis), where breeding was experimentally controlled in age-matched siblings, individuals changed in size and shape through a lengthening of the lumbar vertebrae when they began breeding. This skeletal remodelling results from changes in breeding status because (i) females removed from a group setting and placed solitarily showed no increases in growth and (ii) females dispersing from natural groups that have not yet bred do not differ in size and shape from helpers in established groups. Growth patterns consequently resemble other social vertebrates where contrasts in size and shape follow the acquisition of the breeding role. Our results also suggest that the increases in female body size provide fecundity benefits. Similar forms of socially responsive growth might be more prevalent in vertebrates than is currently recognized, but the extent to which this is the case, and the implications for the structuring of mammalian dominance hierarchies, are as yet poorly understood.

description: The paper re-evaluates the attitude-behavior gap towards sustainable consumption, by looking at the cognitive aspects of consumer purchase behavior. The study explores the gap between purchase attitude formation and sustainable consumption behavior using hedonistic and aesthetic constructs for electric vehicles marketing strategy as an example. The study focuses on OLA Electric Two-wheeler (OLA S1) as an example of marketing a green product concerning electric vehicles in India. The study concludes that OLA Electric's marketing strategy focuses on environmental concerns, demographic variables, and hedonistic behavior to transform the future of mobility with its electric scooters by 2025 in India. OLA Electric markets itself with a full complement of consumer benefits compared to other economical electric two-wheeler vehicles, although sustainability is one of the important aspects of OLA’s two-wheeler, the primary focus of OLA’s electric marketing communication strategy is based on hedonistic and aesthetic factors. The study concludes that pricing strategies, awareness and the absence of hedonistic and aesthetics factors are the main reasons for the Attitude -Behavior Gap.

description: Methods of transfer learning try to combine knowledge from several related tasks (or domains) to improve performance on a test task. Inspired by causal methodology, we relax the usual covariate shift assumption and assume that it holds true for a subset of predictor variables: the conditional distribution of the target variable given this subset of predictors is invariant over all tasks. We show how this assumption can be motivated from ideas in the field of causality. We focus on the problem of Domain Generalization, in which no examples from the test task are observed. We prove that in an adversarial setting using this subset for prediction is optimal in Domain Generalization; we further provide examples, in which the tasks are sufficiently diverse and the estimator therefore outperforms pooling the data, even on average. If examples from the test task are available, we also provide a method to transfer knowledge from the training tasks and exploit all available features for prediction. However, we provide no guarantees for this method. We introduce a practical method which allows for automatic inference of the above subset and provide corresponding code. We present results on synthetic data sets and a gene deletion data set.

description: This working paper is a bottom-up initiative of a group of stakeholders from the European repository community. Its purpose is to outline an aspirational vision of a European Network of FAIR-enabling Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs). This initiative originates from the workshop entitled “Towards exploring the idea of establishing the Network”. The paper was created in close connection with the wider community, as its core was built on community feedback and the first draft of the paper was shared for community-wide consultation. This paper will serve as input for the EOSC Task Force on Long Term Digital Preservation. One of the core activities mentioned in the charter of this Task Force is to produce recommendations on the creation of such a network. The working paper puts together a vision of how a European network of FAIR-enabling TDRs could be based on the community’s needs and its most important functions: Networking and knowledge exchange, stakeholder advocacy and engagement, and coordination and development. The specific activities hosted under these umbrella functions could address the wide range of topics that are important to TDRs. Beyond these functions and the challenges they address, the paper presents a framework to highlight aspects of the Network to further explore in the next steps of its development.
