description: Стаття присвячена дослідженню питань щодо надання волонтерської допомоги збройним силам, вивчення на цій основі міжнародного досвіду волонтерської діяльності.

В даній статті аргументовано, що волонтерська діяльність становить широке коло діяльності, включаючи традиційні форми взаємодопомоги та самодопомоги, офіційне надання послуг та інші форми громадянської участі, що здійснюється добровільно на благо широкому загалу, причому грошова винагорода не є головним мотивом.

Волонтерство за кордоном серйозно піддається правовому регулюванню, починаючи від документів Організації Об'єднані Нації до правових актів різних європейських держав. На даний момент у світі функціонує низка міжнародних волонтерських об'єднань, які діють під егідою ООН та ЮНЕСКО та відіграють глобальну роль у функціонуванні світової волонтерської діяльності.

Проаналізовано  наукові  твердження  щодо  поняття  «волонтерство», «волонтерська діяльність», а також законодавче регулювання волонтерської діяльності в окремих зарубіжних країнах.

Обґрунтовано, що Українське волонтерство являє собою безпрецедентний феномен спонтанної діяльності небайдужих громадян без певного організаційного та перспективного плану, а також характеризується значною кількістю нестандартних для світової практики напрямів діяльності.

Відзначено, що в умовах сьогодення Україна демонструє приклад справжнього всенародного волонтерського руху, що засвідчує при цьому патріотизм більшості населення та зрілість громадянського суспільства.

Зроблено висновок про те, що нормативно – правове регулювання надання волонтерської допомоги збройним силам в Україні потребує розробки та прийняття відповідних програм як на загально державному, так і на регіональному та місцевому рівнях.

description: η Car is the only colliding-wind binary for which high-energy γ rays are detected. Although the physical conditions in the shock region change on timescales of hours to days, the variability seen at GeV energies is weak and on significantly longer timescales. The γ-ray spectrum exhibits two features that can be interpreted as emission from the shocks on either side of the contact discontinuity. Here we report on the first time-dependent modelling of the non-thermal emission in η Car. We find that emission from primary electrons is likely not responsible for the γ-ray emission, but accelerated protons interacting with the dense wind material can explain the observations. In our model, efficient acceleration is required at both shocks, with the primary side acting as a hadron calorimeter, whilst on the companion side acceleration is limited by the flow time out of the system, resulting in changing acceleration conditions. The system therefore represents a unique laboratory for the exploration of hadronic particle acceleration in non-relativistic shocks.

description: Interference effects in quantum dots between different transport channels can lead to a strong suppression of conductance, which cuts like a canyon through the common conductance plot [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 186804 (2010)]. In the present work, we consider the thermoelectric transport properties of the canyon of conductance suppression using the second-order von Neumann approach. We observe a characteristic signal for the zeros of the thermopower. This demonstrates that thermoelectric measurements are an interesting complimentary tool to study complex phenomena for transport through confined systems.

A Monadic Analysis of Information Flow Security with Mutable State

description: We explore the logical underpinnings of higher-order, security-typed languages with mutable state. Our analysis is based on a logic of information flow derived from lax logic and the monadic metalanguage. Thus, our logic deals with mutation explicitly, with impurity reflected in the types, in contrast to most higher-order security-typed languages, which deal with mutation implicitly via side-effects. More importantly, we also take a store-oriented view of security, wherein security levels are associated with elements of the mutable store. This view matches closely with the operational semantics of low-level imperative languages where information flow is expressed by operations on the store. An interesting feature of our analysis lies in its treatment of upcalls (low-security computations that include high-security ones), employing an “informativeness” judgment indicating under what circumstances a type carries useful information.

Probing central stellar regions with a new indicator based on the inversion of frequency ratios

Inversion Techniques

description: In the last decade, astonishing progresses were achieved in asteroseismology thanks to the high-quality data from the space-based missions CoRoT, Kepler and TESS and the field will further prosper with the future PLATO mission. This high precision is however limited by the “so-called” surface effects of solar-like oscillations. Despite several attempts (Kjeldsen et al. 2008, Ball & Gizon 2014, Sonoi et al. 2015, Ball et al. 2016), current approaches remain empirical and constitute a weakness in stellar modelling and inversion techniques. As illustrated in Buldgen et al. (2019) and Bétrisey et al. (2021, submitted), their actual implementation shows biases on the estimated stellar parameters. For this reason, we developed a new indicator based on the inversion of frequency ratios instead of individual frequencies as it is currently done. This approach is motivated by the works of Roxburgh & Voronsov (2003) and Oti et al. (2005) who pointed out that these frequency ratios and their corresponding kernels are not sensitive to surface regions. In contrast, they are sensitive to deeper stellar layers. Therefore, our new indicator seems promising to better probe central stellar regions of intermediate-mass stars.

description: Blind source separation (BSS) is a very popular technique to analyze multichannel data. In this context, the data are modeled as the linear combination of sources to be retrieved. For that purpose, standard BSS methods all rely on some discrimination principle, whether it is statistical independence or morphological diversity, to distinguish between the sources. However, dealing with real-world data reveals that such assumptions are rarely valid in practice: the signals of interest are more likely partially correlated, which generally hampers the performances of standard BSS methods. In this article, we introduce a novel sparsity-enforcing BSS method coined Adaptive Morphological Component Analysis (AMCA), which is designed to retrieve sparse and partially correlated sources. More precisely, it makes profit of an adaptive re-weighting scheme to favor/penalize samples based on their level of correlation. Extensive numerical experiments have been carried out which show that the proposed method is robust to the partial correlation of sources while standard BSS techniques fail. The AMCA algorithm is evaluated in the field of astrophysics for the separation of physical components from microwave data.

description: The move to online emergency remote teaching (ERT) in early 2020 affected education worldwide. Differences between ERT and planned online teaching were evident. This paper describes the experiences of staff teaching on several different ESOL programs from a university in New Zealand during 2020–2022. It finds that trends such as students appreciating courses being available, students missing social interactions, varying digital literacy among students and staff, and inequities in equipment, connectivity, and their reliability were to be found not only in New Zealand but also worldwide in a myriad of contexts. Suggestions for preparing staff, students, and infrastructure for future needs to teach online and how to do that are made.

description: Background lncRNA HOTAIR is frequently overexpressed in breast cancer tissues and is associated with the development of breast cancer. However, the role of the lncRNA HOTAIR/miR-1/GOLPH3 regulatory axis on the biological behavior of breast cancer cells ,remain largely unknown. Methods We investigated the level of HOTAIR in breast cancer and its clinical pathological characteristics by bioinformatic methods.Then,We evaluated the effects of HOTAIR and miRNA-1 expression on the biological behavior of breast cancer cells by qPCR, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, Clonogenic assays, Transwell assay and Flow cytometry for cell proliferation, invasion migration and apoptosis, and cell cycle analysis. Finally,The target genes of the lncRNA HOTAIR/miR-1/GOLPH3 regulatory axis were validated by Luciferace reports. Results The expression of HOTAIR in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal breast tissues（P＜0.05）. Silencing of HOTAIR suppressed cell proliferation, invasion and migration, promoted apoptosis and induced G1 phase block in breast cancer（P＜0.0001）. We also verified the existence of paired sequences between miR-1 and HOTAIR, GOLPH3 and miR-1 by Luciferace reports (P＜0.001）. Conclusions The expression of HOTAIR was significantly elevated in breast cancer tissues. Reducing the expression of HOTAIR inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration of breast cancer cells and promoted apoptosis, and the mechanism was mainly the effect of lncRNA HOTAIR/miR-1/GOLPH3 regulatory axis on the biological behavior of breast cancer cells.

description: As part of the development of the EKT platform, a mobile app was developed to ease those quick tasks that students and mentors need to do/check during the school placement. The EKT APP was developed natively for Android devices and is available through Google Play Store on the participant countries of the EKT Project. For those whose mobile devices are not android, it is still possible to access to the EKT Platform by using a web browser. The EKT Platform was created using responsive design, this means that it doesn’t matter the device used by the user to access to the EKT Platform as it will always fit the device whether desktop or mobile. The EKT APP was designed having in mind that not all the EKT platform features are going to be used from mobile devices. We do think that the mobile app serves as a quick access to some functionalities, for instance, check user information, notifications or calendar appointments. Other complex activities, such as create learning contents, create e-portfolio posts, etc. although they can be accessible as well, it is recommended to user a computer as it could be difficult to compose long texts or multimedia materials. The EKT APP has been developed as a complementary tool to help in the process allowing a follow-up of the process and quick interaction in mobile situations. It is therefore a support resource to facilitate continuity but not to carry out training activities that require time and slower elaboration. This criterion has guided the definition of the APP of the EKT system.

description: In a quantum computer, creating superpositions of quantum bits (qubits) in different states can lead to a speed-up over classical computers [1], but quantum mechanics also allows for the superposition of quantum circuits [2]. In fact, it has recently been theoretically predicted that superimposing quantum circuits, each with a different gate order, could provide quantum computers with an even further computational advantage [3-5]. Here, we experimentally demonstrate this enhancement by applying two quantum gates in a superposition of both possible orders to determine whether the two gates commute or anti-commute. We are able to make this determination with only a single use (or query) of each gate, while all quantum circuits with a fixed order of gates would require at least two uses of one of the gates [3]. Remarkably, when the problem is scaled to N gates, creating a superposition of quantum circuits is likely to provide an exponential advantage over classical algorithms, and a linear advantage over quantum algorithms with fixed gate order [4]. The new resource that we exploit in our experiment can be interpreted as a "superposition of causal orders". We demonstrate such a superposition could allow some quantum algorithms to be implemented with an efficiency that is unlikely to be achieved on a quantum computer with a fixed gate order.

description: The effect of Coulomb interaction in an ensemble of Dirac fermions on the formation of superconducting pairing in monolayer and bilayer doped graphene is studied using the Kohn-Luttinger mechanism disregarding the Van der Waals potential of the substrate and impurities. The electronic structure of graphene is described using the Shubin-Vonsovsky model taking into account the intratomic, interatomic, and interlayer (in the case of bilayer graphene) Coulomb interactions between electrons. The Cooper instability is determined by solving the Bethe-Saltpeter integral equation. The renormalized scattering amplitude is obtained with allowance for the Kohn-Luttinger polarization contributions up to the second order of perturbation theory in the Coulomb interaction. It plays the role of effective interaction in the Bethe-Salpeter integral equation. It is shown that the allowance for the Kohn-Luttinger renormalizations as well as intersite Coulomb interaction noticeably affects the competition between the superconducting phases with the $f-$wave and $d + id-$wave symmetries of the order parameter. It is demonstrated that the superconducting transition temperature for an idealized graphene bilayer with significant interlayer Coulomb interaction between electrons is noticeably higher than in the monolayer case.

Multiferroicity in spin ice: towards a magnetic crystallography of Tb2Ti2O7 in a field

description: We combine two aspects of magnetic frustration, multiferroicity and emergent quasi-particles in spin liquids, by studying magneto-electric monopoles. Spin ice offers to couple these emergent topological defects to external fields, and to each other, in unusual ways, making possible to lift the degeneracy underpinning the spin liquid and to potentially stabilize novel forms of charge crystals, opening the path to a "magnetic crystallography". In developing the general phase diagram including nearest-neighbour coupling, Zeeman energy, electric and magnetic dipolar interactions, we uncover the emergence of a bi-layered crystal of singly-charged monopoles, whose stability, remarkably, is strengthened by an external [110] magnetic field. Our theory is able to account for the ordering process of Tb2Ti2O7 in large field for reasonably small electric energy scales.

description: We consider the problem of selecting a subset of alternatives given noisy evaluations of the relative strength of different alternatives. We wish to select a k-subset (for a given k) that provides a maximum likelihood estimate for one of several objectives, e.g., containing the strongest alternative. Although this problem is N P-hard, we show that when the noise level is sufficiently high, intuitive methods provide the optimal solution. We thus generalize classical results about singling out one alternative and identifying the hidden ranking of alternatives by strength. Extensive experiments show that our methods perform well in practical settings.
Mechanism of Outflows in Accretion System: Advective Cooling Cannot Balance Viscous Heating?
Creators: name: Gu, Wei-Min
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on no-outflow assumption, we investigate steady state, axisymmetric, optically thin accretion flows in spherical coordinates. By comparing the vertically integrated advective cooling rate with the viscous heating rate, we find that the former is generally less than 30% of the latter, which indicates that the advective cooling itself cannot balance the viscous heating. As a consequence, for radiatively inefficient flows with low accretion rates such as $\dot M \la 10^{-3} \dot M_{Edd}$, where $\dot M_{Edd}$ is the Eddington accretion rate, the viscous heating rate will be larger than the sum of the advective cooling rate and the radiative cooling one. Thus, no thermal equilibrium can be established under the no-outflow assumption. We therefore argue that in such case outflows ought to occur and take away more than 70% of the thermal energy generated by viscous dissipation. Similarly, for optically thick flows with extremely large accretion rates such as $\dot M \ga 10 \dot M_{Edd}$, outflows should also occur due to the limited advection and the low efficiency of radiative cooling. Our results may help to understand the mechanism of outflows found in observations and numerical simulations.

description: The erosion and high neutron flux in a fusion power plant results in the need for frequent remote replacement of the plasma facing components. This is a complex and time consuming remote handling operation and its duration directly affects the availability and therefore the commercial viability of the power plant. A tool is needed to allow the maintenance duration to be determined so that developments in component design can be assessed in terms of their effect on the maintenance duration. This allows the correct balance to be drawn between component cost and performance on the one hand and the remote handling cost and plant availability on the other.

description: Purpose: Written and spoken language abilities are closely connected, and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can play important roles in the development of children’s word reading. However, SLPs may have less knowledge about word reading assessment and intervention than they do about oral language. Therefore, in this tutorial, we describe the skills required for successful word reading and outline evidence-based approaches to word reading assessment and intervention within a response to intervention (RTI) framework, with a focus on the role of the SLP.Conclusions: Written language abilities clearly fall within an SLP’s scope of practice. SLPs can be involved in collaborative teams working together to design word reading instruction, intervention, and assessment. They can also be directly involved in word reading intervention and assessment with children on their caseload. Consequently, knowledge about word reading development, assessment, and intervention can enable an SLP to take advantage of the reciprocal connections between written and spoken language, in order to help achieve the best outcomes for their clients.Supplemental Material S1.

Where all isometry groups under consideration are compact Lie, it is shown that an upper bound on the dimension of the group guarantees that the convergence is by Lie homomorphisms. Additional lower bounds on curvature and volume strengthen this result to convergence by monomorphisms, so that symmetries can only increase on passing to the limit.

description: The advent of space-based photometry missions, such as CoRoT, Kepler and TESS, has favoured a rapid development of asteroseismology and its synergies with exoplanetology. Such multi-disciplinary studies will further develop in the future with the PLATO mission. A detailed characterization of the host star can significantly improve our understanding of exoplanetary systems. In this context, we focused on Kepler-93, whose high-quality data and stellar properties make it a PLATO benchmark target. We carried out a detailed stellar modelling using global and local minimization techniques, also considering various changes of the physical ingredients. Our analysis was completed by inversion techniques to provide a more robust mean density estimate and test the impact of surface effects. The revised stellar parameters allowed us to update the planetary parameters of Kepler-93b and simulate its orbital evolution under the effects of tides and atmospheric evaporation. We found that a detailed asteroseismic modelling will be able to meet the PLATO standards for such a solar-like star (Bétrisey et al. 2022).

description: A parallel algorithm for constructing binary decision diagrams is described. The algorithms treats binary decision graphs as minimal finite automata. The automation for a Boolean function with AND as its main operation (OR operation) is obtained by forming the intersection (union) of the regular sets associated with its operands. The union and intersection operations are implemented by a product construction on the minimal automata for the regular sets. After each product construction step the automaton must be reminimized. The parallel algorithm is designed so that it is possible to find the minimal representations for several Boolean operations in parallel. The level of each operation is determined. Operations at the same level can be performed in parallel without any communication between processors. If there are relatively few operations in one level, then the product generation step is divided into several suboperations and the results are merged

description: Simple practical expressions are put forward, which allow to estimate thermodynamic properties of Yukawa fluids in a wide range of coupling, up to the fluid-solid phase transition. These expressions demonstrate excellent agreement with the available results from numerical simulations. The approach provides simple and accurate tool to estimate thermodynamic properties of Yukawa fluids and related systems in a broad range of parameters.

description: A common design pattern in spoken dialog systems is to reject an input when the recognition confidence score falls below a preset rejection threshold.  However, this introduces a potentially non-optimal tradeoff between various types of errors such as misunderstandings and false rejections. In this paper, we propose a data-driven method for determining the relative costs of these errors, and then use these costs to optimize state-specific rejection thresholds. We illustrate the use of this approach with data from a spoken dialog system that handles conference room reservations. The results obtained confirm our intuitions about the costs of the errors, and are consistent with anecdotal evidence gathered throughout the use of the system.

description: We study the influence of the fluctuations of a Lorentz invariant and conserved vacuum on cosmological metric perturbations, and show that they generically blow up in the IR. We compute this effect using the Källén-Lehmann spectral representation of stress correlators in generic quantum field theories, as well as the holographic bound on their entanglement entropy, both leading to an IR cut-off that scales as the fifth power of the highest UV scale (in Planck units). One may view this as analogous to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which is imposed on the phase space of gravitational theories by the Einstein constraint equations. The leading effect on cosmological observables come from anisotropic vacuum stresses which imply: i) any extension of the standard model of particle physics can only have masses (or resonances) $\lesssim$ 24 TeV, and ii) perturbative quantum field theory or quantum gravity becomes strongly coupled beyond a cut-off scale of $Λ\lesssim1$ PeV. Such a low cut-off is independently motivated by the Higgs hierarchy problem. This result, which we dub the cosmological non-constant problem, can be viewed as an extension of the cosmological constant (CC) problem, demonstrating the non-trivial UV-IR coupling and (yet another) limitation of effective field theory in gravity. However, it is more severe than the old CC problem, as vacuum fluctuations cannot be tuned to cancel due to the positivity of spectral densities or entropy. We thus predict that future advances in cosmological observations and collider technology will sandwich from above and below, and eventually discover, new (non-perturbative) physics beyond the Standard Model within the TeV-PeV energy range.

description: Abstract: "Viruses, trojan horses, and other malware are a growing problem for computer users, but current tools and research do not adequately aid users in fighting these threats. One approach to increasing security is to partition all applications and data based on general task types, or 'roles,' such as 'Personal,' 'Work,' and 'Communications.' This can limit the effects of malware to a single role rather than allowing it to affect the entire computer. We are developing a prototype to investigate the usability of this security model. Our initial investigation uses cognitive walkthrough and think-aloud user studies of paper prototypes to look at this model in the context of realistic tasks, and to compare different user interface mechanisms for managing data and applications in a role-based system. For most participants, our interface was simple to understand and use. In addition to a security model that is intrinsically useful, we believe development of this system will inform issues in the design and implementation of usable security interfaces, such as refinement of design guidelines."

description: We present laser results obtained from a Dy$^{3+}$-Tb$^{3+}$ co-doped LiLuF$_{4}$ crystal, pumped by a blue emitting InGaN laser diode, aiming for the generation of a compact 578 nm source. We exploit the yellow Dy$^{3+}$ transition $^{4}$F$_{9/2}$ $\Longrightarrow$ $^{6}$H$_{13/2}$ to generate yellow laser emission. The lifetime of the lower laser level is quenched via energy transfer to co-doped Tb$^{3+}$ ions in the fluoride crystal. We report the growth technique, spectroscopic study and room temperature continuous wave (cw) laser results in a hemispherical cavity at 574 nm and with a highly reflective output coupler at 578 nm. A yellow laser at 578 nm is very relevant for metrological applications, in particular for pumping of the forbidden $^{1}$S$_{0} \Longrightarrow ^{3}$P$_{0}$ Ytterbium clock transition, which is recommended as a secondary representation of the second in the international system (SI) of units.

title: Low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma development and use for nanoparticle charging and related applications
Creators: name: Gillies, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Overall this research presents an analysis of a novel multi electrode discharge source
in comparison to existing jet and parallel plate plasma (e.g. CCP) setups, via traditional
parameters and electrical calculations and observations of transitions into different dynamic
behaviours, where multiple advantages are evident. An SDBD used for comparison was
installed in an SMPS system and compares favourably against traditional ionising sources
for the purpose of nanoparticle detection, while a modified variant is utilised for successful
chemical detection and quantification across a range of samples. (Truncated abstract due to embargo).
In the Absence of Foreign Currency: The Acquisition of "Samson Blinded" by Lovis Corinth
Creators: name: Grabowski, Jörn

description: Based on sources in the Berlin state museums’ Central Archive, the article describes the complex route to acquisition of a striking painting which had been on loan to the National Gallery in East Berlin since 1958. It was a focal point of the permanent exhibition and visitors perceived it as a permanent fixture of the collection. The acquisition was compounded by the Cold War and the financial difficulties of an East German institution needing to settle with a London-based vendor in hard currency. The tortuous process took almost three decades and is documented in unusual detail in the museum archive. With hindsight, the museum took a justifiable decision in favour of unprecedented steps to acquire a highlight of its collection.

From museum objects to trading goods: the ethnographic doublet

description: Between 1873 and 1973 the Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin deaccessioned about 30,000 objects from its collections. Almost all of the items had been removed as so-called doublets. In relation to the unique character of ethnographic objects this raises questions about a doublet’s meaning and the background of this part of museum history. This paper explains how the term ‘doublet’ was used and why this resulted in a severe loss of unique ethnographic objects.

description: Nowadays, the need for system interoperability in or across enterprises has become more and more ubiquitous. Lots of research works have been carried out in the information exchange, transformation, discovery and reuse. One of the main challenges in these researches is to overcome the semantic heterogeneity between enterprise applications along the lifecycle of a product. As a possible solution to assist the semantic interoperability, semantic annotation has gained more and more attentions and is widely used in different domains. In this paper, based on the investigation of the context and the related works, we identify some existing drawbacks and propose a formal semantic annotation approach to support the semantics enrichment of models in a PLM environment.

description: This paper studies an extension of the k-median problem where we are given a metric space (V, d) and not just one but m client sets {Si ⊆ V}im=1, and the goal is to open k facilities F to minimize: maxi∈[m]  {Σj∈Si d(j, F)}, i.e., the worst-case cost over all the client sets. This is a "min-max" or "robust" version of the k-median problem; however, note that in contrast to previous papers on robust/stochastic problems, we have only one stage of decision-making---where should we place the facilities? We present an O(log n  + log m) approximation for robust k-median: The algorithm is combinatorial and very simple, and is based on reweighting/Lagrangean-relaxation ideas. In fact, we give a general framework for (minimization) facility location problems where there is a bound on the number of open facilities. For robust and stochastic  versions of such location problems, we show that if the problem satisfies a certain "projection" property, essentially the same algorithm gives a logarithmic approximation ratio in both versions. We use our framework to give the first approximation algorithms for robust/stochastic versions of k-tree, capacitated k-median, and fault-tolerant k-median.
