description: Reducing the burden of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is one of the key strategic targets advanced by the sustainable development goals. Despite the unprecedented effort deployed for NTD elimination in the past decade, their control, mainly through drug administration, remains particularly challenging: persistent poverty and repeated exposure to pathogens embedded in the environment limit the efficacy of strategies focused exclusively on human treatment or medical care. Here, we present a simple modelling framework to illustrate the relative role of ecological and socio-economic drivers of environmentally transmitted parasites and pathogens. Through the analysis of system dynamics, we show that periodic drug treatments that lead to the elimination of directly transmitted diseases may fail to do so in the case of human pathogens with an environmental reservoir. Control of environmentally transmitted diseases can be more effective when human treatment is complemented with interventions targeting the environmental reservoir of the pathogen. We present mechanisms through which the environment can influence the dynamics of poverty via disease feedbacks. For illustration, we present the case studies of Buruli ulcer and schistosomiasis, two devastating water-borne NTDs for which control is particularly challenging.This article is part of the themed issue ‘Conservation, biodiversity and infectious disease: scientific evidence and policy implications’.

description: We propose and carry-out a novel method of formative assessment called Assessment via Teaching (AVT), in which learners demonstrate their understanding of CS1 topics by tutoring more novice students. AVT has powerful benefits over traditional forms of assessment: it is centered around service to others and is highly rewarding for the learners who teach. Moreover, teaching greatly improves the learners' own understanding of the material and has a huge positive impact on novices, who receive free 1:1 tutoring. Lastly, this form of assessment is naturally difficult to cheat -- a critical property for assessments in the era of large-language models.
 We use AVT in a randomised control trial with learners in a CS1 course at an R1 university. The learners provide tutoring sessions to more novice students taking a lagged online version of the same course. We show that learners who do an AVT session before the course exam performed 20 to 30 percentage points better than the class average on several questions. Moreover, compared to students who did a practice exam, the AVT learners enjoyed their experience more and were twice as likely to study for their teaching session. We believe AVT is a scalable and uplifting method for formative assessment that could one day replace traditional exams.

description: Extensively validated 3D pharmacophore models for ALK (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) and EGFR (T790M) (epithelial growth factor receptor with acquired secondary mutation) were developed. The pharmacophore model for ALK (r2 = 0.96, q2 = 0.692) suggested that two hydrogen bond acceptors and three hydrophobic groups arranged in 3-D space are essential for the binding affinity of ALK inhibitors. Similarly, the pharmacophore model for EGFR (T790M) (r2 = 0.92, q2 = 0.72) suggested that the presence of a hydrogen bond acceptor, two hydrogen bond donors and a hydrophobic group plays vital role in binding of an inhibitor of EGFR (T790M). These pharmacophore models allowed searches for novel ALK and EGFR (T790M) dual inhibitors from multiconformer 3D databases (Asinex, Chembridge and Maybridge). Finally, the eight best hits were selected for molecular dynamics simulation, to study the stability of their complexes with both proteins and final binding orientations of these molecules. After molecular dynamics simulations, one hit has been predicted to possess good binding affinity for both ALK and EGFR (T790M), which can be further investigated for its experimental in-vitro/in-vivo activities.

description: Frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar differs from the traditional phased array (PA) radar, and can form range-angle-dependent beampattern and differentiate between closely spaced targets sharing the same angle but occupying distinct range cells. In the FDA-MIMO radar, target range estimation is achieved by employing a subtle frequency variation between adjacent array antennas, so the estimation performance is degraded severely in a practical scenario with frequency offset. In this paper, the range-angle estimation problem for FDA-MIMO radar is considered with frequency offsets in both transmitting and receiving arrays. First, we build a system model for the FDA-MIMO radar with transmitting and receiving frequency offsets. Then, the frequency offset is transferred into an equalized additional noise. The noise characteristics are analyzed in detail theoretically, together with the influence on the range-angle estimation. Moreover, since the effect of the transmitting frequency offset is similar to additional colored noise, denoising algorithms are introduced to mitigate the performance deterioration caused by the frequency offset. Finally, Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLB) for the range-angle estimation are derived in the scenario with the frequency offsets. Simulation results show the analysis of frequency offset and the corresponding estimation performance using different algorithms.

description: This thesis deals with the development of an artificial intelligence that determines distances on the basis of monocular single images. For this purpose, an environment is implemented, which allows the testing of different components. An externally provided dataset of stereo image
pairs is used as training dataset, which is first processed and extended by augmented variants. With the subsequent indexing of the dataset in a relational database, an infrastructure is developed which provides a high flexibility for the generation of specified partial datasets for developments based on this work. Even without a specified partial dataset, the developed
model achieves evaluation results that are equal to the current state of the art. However, the results also show that it must be carefully considered to what extent such a model is suitable for a concrete application.

Validity of annealed approximation in a high-dimensional system

description: This study investigates the suitability of the annealed approximation in high-dimensional systems characterized by dense networks with quenched link disorder, employing models of coupled oscillators. We demonstrate that dynamic equations governing dense-network systems converge to those of the complete-graph version in the thermodynamic limit, where link disorder fluctuations vanish entirely. Consequently, the annealed-network systems, where fluctuations are attenuated, also exhibit the same dynamic behavior in the thermodynamic limit. However, a significant discrepancy arises in the incoherent (disordered) phase wherein the finite-size behavior becomes critical in determining the steady-state pattern. To explicitly elucidate this discrepancy, we focus on identical oscillators subject to competitive attractive and repulsive couplings. In the incoherent phase of dense networks, we observe the manifestation of random irregular states. In contrast, the annealed approximation yields a symmetric (regular) incoherent state where two oppositely coherent clusters of oscillators coexist, accompanied by the vanishing order parameter. Our findings imply that the annealed approximation should be employed with caution even in dense-network systems, particularly in the disordered phase.

description: Teaching students how to write code that is elegant, reusable, and comprehensible is a fundamental part of CS1 education. However, providing this "style feedback" in a timely manner has proven difficult to scale. In this paper, we present our experience deploying a novel, real-time style feedback tool in Code in Place, a large-scale online CS1 course. Our tool is based on the latest breakthroughs in large-language models (LLMs) and was carefully designed to be safe and helpful for students. We used our Real-Time Style Feedback tool (RTSF) in a class with over 8,000 diverse students from across the globe and ran a randomized control trial to understand its benefits. We show that students who received style feedback in real-time were five times more likely to view and engage with their feedback compared to students who received delayed feedback. Moreover, those who viewed feedback were more likely to make significant style-related edits to their code, with over 79% of these edits directly incorporating their feedback. We also discuss the practicality and dangers of LLM-based tools for feedback, investigating the quality of the feedback generated, LLM limitations, and techniques for consistency, standardization, and safeguarding against demographic bias, all of which are crucial for a tool utilized by students.

description: Through the use of ab initio calculations, the possibility of formation of σ-hole interaction between ZO3 (Z = Ar, Kr and Xe) and carbene species is investigated. Since singlet carbenes show a negative electrostatic potential on their divalent carbon atom, they can favourably interact with the positive electrostatic potential generated by the σ-hole of Z atom of ZO3. The characteristic of this interaction, termed as ‘carbene–aerogen’ bond, is analysed in terms of geometric, interaction energies and electronic features. The energy decomposition analysis indicates that for all complexes analysed here, the electrostatic energy is more negative than the polarisation or dispersion energy term. According to the electron density analysis, some partial covalent character can be ascribed to Xe⋅⋅⋅C interactions. In addition, the carbene–aerogen bond exhibits cooperative effects with the H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen-bonding interaction in ternary complexes where both interactions coexist. For a given carbene, the amount of these cooperative effects increases with the size of the Z atom. The results obtained in this work may be helpful for the extension and future application of σ-hole intermolecular interactions as well as coordination chemistry.

description: The interaction between two co-propagating electromagnetic pulses in a magnetized plasma is considered, from first principles, relying on a fluid-Maxwell model. Two circularly polarized wavepackets by same group velocities are considered, characterized by opposite circular polarization, to be identified as left-hand- or right hand circularly polarized (i.e. LCP or RCP, respectively). A multiscale perturbative technique is adopted, leading to a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger-type (NLS) equations for the modulated amplitudes of the respective vector potentials associated with the two pulses. Systematic analysis reveals the existence, in certain frequency bands, of three different types of vector soliton modes: an LCP-bright/RCP-bright coupled soliton pair state, an LCP bright/RCP-dark soliton pair, and an LCP-dark/RCP-bright soliton pair. The value of the magnetic field plays a critical role since it determines the type of vector solitons that may occur in certain frequency bands and, on the other hand, it affects the width of those frequency bands that are characterized by a specific type of vector soliton (type). The magnetic field (strength) thus arises as an order parameter, affecting the existence conditions of each type of solution (in the form of an envelope soliton pair). An exhaustive parametric investigation is presented in terms of frequency bands and in a wide range of magnetic field (strength) values, leading to results that may be applicable in beam-plasma interaction scenarios as well as in space plasmas and in the ionosphere.

description: Dynamic searchable symmetric encryption (DSSE) enables users to delegate the keyword search over dynamically updated encrypted databases to an honest-but-curious server without losing keyword privacy. This paper studies a new and practical security risk to DSSE, namely, secret key compromise (e.g., a user's secret key is leaked or stolen), which threatens all the security guarantees offered by existing DSSE schemes. To address this open problem, we introduce the notion of searchable encryption with key-update (SEKU) that provides users with the option of non-interactive key updates. We further define the notion of post-compromise secure with respect to leakage functions to study whether DSSE schemes can still provide data security after the client's secret key is compromised. We demonstrate that post-compromise security is achievable with a proposed protocol called ``Bamboo". Interestingly, the leakage functions of Bamboo satisfy the requirements for both forward and backward security. We conduct a performance evaluation of Bamboo using a real-world dataset and compare its runtime efficiency with the existing forward-and-backward secure DSSE schemes. The result shows that Bamboo provides strong security with better or comparable performance.

description: We screened for factors involved in the cellulose-responsive induction of cellulose biomass-degrading enzyme genes from approximately 12,000 Aspergillus aculeatus T-DNA insertion mutants harboring a transcriptional fusion between the FIII-avicelase gene (cbhI) promoter and the orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase gene. Analysis of 5-fluoroorodic acid (5-FOA) sensitivity, cellulose utilization, and cbhI expression of the mutants revealed that a mutant harboring T-DNA at the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (dppIV) locus had acquired 5-FOA resistance and was deficient in cellulose utilization and cbhI expression. The deletion of dppIV resulted in a significant reduction in the cellulose-responsive expression of both cbhI as well as genes controlled by XlnR-independent and XlnR-dependent signaling pathways at an early phase in A. aculeatus. In contrast, the dppIV deletion did not affect the xylose-responsive expression of genes under the control of XlnR. These results demonstrate that DppIV participates in cellulose-responsive induction in A. aculeatus. Dashed lines with arrows indicate putative signaling pathways.

Some complexes exhibited better cytotoxic activity than cisplatin against Hela and MCF-7 cell lines. We had synthesized 10 platinum(II) complexes with reduced amino pyridine Schiff base and its derivatives as ligands, and characterized by NMR, MS, and IR spectra. The binding mode of complexes with DNA was investigated by UV and CD spectra, the result indicated the intercalation in groove. The cell cytotoxicity of complexes was tested against A549, Hela, and MCF-7 cell lines by MTT assay in vitro, 5b and 5j exhibited higher cytotoxic activity than cisplatin against Hela cell line.

description: Reinforcement Learning is the premier technique to approach sequential decision problems, including complex tasks such as driving cars and landing spacecraft. Among the software validation and verification practices, testing for functional fault detection is a convenient way to build trustworthiness in the learned decision model. While recent works seek to maximise the number of detected faults, none consider fault characterisation during the search for more diversity. We argue that policy testing should not find as many failures as possible (e.g., inputs that trigger similar car crashes) but rather aim at revealing as informative and diverse faults as possible in the model. In this paper, we explore the use of quality diversity optimisation to solve the problem of fault diversity in policy testing. Quality diversity (QD) optimisation is a type of evolutionary algorithm to solve hard combinatorial optimisation problems where high-quality diverse solutions are sought. We define and address the underlying challenges of adapting QD optimisation to the test of action policies. Furthermore, we compare classical QD optimisers to state-of-the-art frameworks dedicated to policy testing, both in terms of search efficiency and fault diversity. We show that QD optimisation, while being conceptually simple and generally applicable, finds effectively more diverse faults in the decision model, and conclude that QD-based policy testing is a promising approach.

description: Machong Town is a typical peri-urban area located on the edge of a large city. Based on the survey of the economic, social, spatial development and the land use data translated from satellite images over the years analyzed by means of land use transfer matrix and landscape pattern index, this paper explores the morphological characteristics and evolution mechanism of production-living-ecological space in Machong Town. The study found that the evolution of production-living-ecological space in Machong Town is an industry-led process. The advantages of port logistics have attracted large-scale port-dependent industries such as grain and oil, and papermaking to garther in Machong Town, which led to the rapid expansion of the production space. In the process of production space expansion, living space has played a supporting role of completing the transformation from traditional rural areas to high-density and rental-type rural areas. Meanwhile, the ecological space is gradually eating away. It is the path that relies on the development of large port and large industries, making Machong Town present a mixed urban-rural spatial pattern unique to peri-urban areas and have characteristics different from other peri-urban areas formed with the development of township enterprises.

description: Petunia and Calibrachoa are ornamental plants of worldwide economic importance. Commercially, it is useful to combine desirable characteristics of Calibrachoa, including the large diversity of flower colors, with the pH tolerance and vigorous growth of Petunia. For investigation of interspecific hybrids between Petunia and Calibrachoa we used four different introns with flanking exon areas, each from a different gene and with a different sequence for Petunia and Calibrachoa, as genus-specific markers for chromosomes in interspecific hybrids. PCR primers specific for Petunia and Calabrachoa were made from the determined sequences and tested on a range of presumed hybrids using multiplex PCR, which confirmed that the hybrids were derived from these two species. Flow cytometry demonstrated that the hybrids were triploid, and determination of chromosome numbers showed that two of the chromosome sets were from Calibrachoa, i.e. that the other parent, Petunia, was diploid. Similar methods can be used for molecular characterization of other new hybrids made between closely related species or cultivars.

description: Nowadays, most online services offer different authentication methods that users can set up for multi-factor authentication but also as a recovery method. This configuration must be done thoroughly to prevent an adversary's access while ensuring the legitimate user does not lose access to their account. This is particularly important for fundamental everyday services, where either failure would have severe consequences. Nevertheless, little research has been done on the authentication of actual users regarding security and the risk of being locked out of their accounts.
 To foster research in this direction, this paper presents a study on the account settings of Google and Apple users. Considering the multi-factor authentication configuration and recovery options, we analyzed the account security and lock-out risks. Our results provide insights into the usage of multi-factor authentication in practice, show significant security differences between Google and Apple accounts, and reveal that many users would miss access to their accounts when losing a single authentication device.

Temporary employment and work‐life balance in Australia
Creators: name: Laß, Inga

Publisher: name: Journal of Family Research

description: While it is often believed that temporary forms of employment, such as fixed-term contracts, casual work and temporary agency work, provide workers with more flexibility to balance work and private commitments, convincing empirical evidence on this issue is still scarce. This paper investigates the association between temporary employment and work-life balance in Australia, using longitudinal data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey for the period 2001 to 2017. In contrast to previous studies, we compare results from pooled cross-sectional and fixed-effects regressions to investigate the role of time-constant unobserved worker characteristics in linking temporary employment and work-life outcomes. The results show that, after accounting for job characteristics and person-specific fixed-effects, among women only casual employment is unequivocally associated with better work-life outcomes than permanent employment. For men, we mostly find negative associations between all forms of temporary employment and work-life outcomes, but the magnitudes of these associations are much smaller and mostly insignificant in fixed-effects models. This result suggests that male temporary employees have stable unobserved traits that are connected to poorer work-life balance.

description: This study examined the associations of work schedules and spousal satisfaction among Finnish (n = 347), Dutch (n = 304) and British (n = 337) parents. In addition to comparing parents with nonstandard schedule with parents in regular day work, the study examined separately the roles played in spousal satisfaction of morning, evening, night and weekend work and other working time-related variables (working hours, changes in and influence over one’s work schedules and spouse’s work schedule). The three-country data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with a multigroup procedure in Mplus. Little evidence for negative associations of work schedules and related factors with spousal satisfaction was found among the present European employees. No between-country differences were found in the examined associations. The quantitative analyses were supplemented with content analysis of parents’ descriptions of the experienced effects of their working times on their spousal relationship. Parents described their working times mostly as having a negative influence on their possibilities of being together, organization of daily life, psychological and physiological reactions and spousal communication. Some, however, also mentioned benefits and finding solutions to problems related to their working times.

description: Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is well known for its biochemical constituents that define the product quality and confer pest and disease resistance. Seven major metabolites – epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECg), epigallocatechin (EGC), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), caffeine, theobromine, and gallic acid – of 87 beverage type and six non-beverage type tea accessions from Sri Lankan tea germplasm were profiled using HPLC and LC-MS/MS. All seven metabolites varied widely in the beverage type accessions. The non-beverage types only contained gallic acid and epicatechin. Results prove the presence of high EC and ECg contents in green leaves to be a reliable marker for identifying high-quality black tea-producing accessions. High EC and low EGCg contents in green tea leaves appear to enhance traits of resistance to blister blight disease. Significant variations detected in theobromine, caffeine, and total polyphenol content define the affinity of germplasm to the main three tea taxa, and we conclude that C. sinensis ssp. lasiocalyx predominates the Sri Lankan germplasm collection.
