Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Computer and information sciences
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This repository contains the operational models and test scripts used for the formal verification of the CXL drivers in the Linux Kernel, specifically focusing on the cxl_map_regs and cxl_probe_regs functions. The models simulate the behavior of these functions, providing detailed assertions for memory safety, register probing, and concurrency. Using ESBMC (Efficient SMT-Based Bounded Model Checker), the code performs unbounded verification by fully unrolling loops to capture all possible iterations. The verification tests, which include handling valid and invalid inputs, concurrency scenarios, and error cases, were executed across multiple kernel configurations, identifying several potential vulnerabilities in memory handling and register initialisation. The repository includes all necessary files to replicate the verification process, along with the CXL driver source code and test results.

description: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are powerful cosmological "standardizable candles" and the most precise distance indicators. However, a limiting factor in their use for precision cosmology rests on our ability to correct for the dust extinction toward them. SN 2014J in the starburst galaxy M82, the closest detected SN~Ia in three decades, provides unparalleled opportunities to study the dust extinction toward an SN Ia. In order to derive the extinction as a function of wavelength, we model the color excesses toward SN 2014J, which are observationally derived over a wide wavelength range in terms of dust models consisting of a mixture of silicate and graphite. The resulting extinction laws steeply rise toward the far ultraviolet, even steeper than that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We infer a visual extinction of $A_V \approx 1.9~\rm mag$, a reddening of $E(B-V)\approx1.1~ \rm mag$, and a total-to-selective extinction ratio of $R_V \approx 1.7$, consistent with that previously derived from photometric, spectroscopic, and polarimetric observations. The size distributions of the dust in the interstellar medium toward SN 2014J are skewed toward substantially smaller grains than that of the Milky Way and the SMC.

Year: 2014

description: Objective: To determine facility-level and service-related factors affecting the prescription of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for intermittent preventive treatment for malaria during antenatal clinic visits in Kenya. Methods: Using data from the 2010 Kenya Service Provision Assessment, data analysis was performed on 1,183 client antenatal visits. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of facility and service-related factors on sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine prescription. Results: Facility managing authority, drug availability, and number of previous SP doses were significantly associated with prescription. No statistically significant relationships were found between IPTp guideline availability, supervision, quality assurance, or water and SP prescription. Conclusion: Among health facilities in Kenya, facility and service-delivery factors impact effectiveness of national malaria policy. This study identifies opportunities to improve SP/IPTp coverage by focusing on supply-side mechanisms.

description: Two-dimensional stanene is a promising candidate material for realizing room-temperature quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect. Monolayer stanene has recently been fabricated by molecular beam epitaxy, but shows metallic features on Bi$_2$Te$_3$(111) substrate, which motivates us to study the important influence of substrate. Based on first-principles calculations, we find that varying substrate conditions considerably tunes electronic properties of stanene. The supported stanene gives either trivial or QSH states, with significant Rashba splitting induced by inversion asymmetry. More importantly, large-gap (up to 0.3 eV) QSH states are realizable when growing stanene on various substrates, like the anion-terminated (111) surfaces of SrTe, PbTe, BaSe and BaTe. These findings provide significant guidance for future research of stanene and large-gap QSH states.

Assessing Thrombocytopenia and Chronic Liver Disease in Southeast Asia (ATLAS): a multicentric cross-sectional study

description: This multi-centric cross-sectional study examined TCP prevalence and chronic liver disease (CLD) causes across fifteen Southeast Asian tertiary care centers over three months. This study assessed the Fibrosis Index (FI) and MELD-Na Score's capacity to grade and predict CLD. The trial enrolled 377 CLD patients between April and June 2023. 64% of patients had thrombocytopenia, while 36% did not. The illness severity indicators MELD score and FI had mean ± SD values of 16.89 + 6.42 and 4.1 ± 1.06, respectively. The study found high thrombocytopenia rates in leukopenia patients. TCP was 89.5% in leukopenic patients and 52.5% in non-leukopenic patients (p = 0.003). Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia may be linked, which may affect CLD treatment and prognosis in this population. Non-invasive indicators like the FI and MELD-Na Score can detect liver fibrosis and severity without invasive procedures, enhancing patient management. Similarly, the prevalence of liver transplantation (LT) needs among traditional-ultrasonography-diagnosed cirrhotic patients was 83.1%, compared to 59.6% among non-cirrhotic patients (p = 0.001). These findings highlight the need to improve early diagnosis methods for CLD in Southeast Asia and raise awareness among clinicians about effective diagnostic strategies for non-infectious causes of CLD.
Structural and ferromagnetic properties of an orthorhombic phase of MnBi stabilized with Rh additions

description: The article addresses the possibility of alloy elements in MnBi which may modify the thermodynamic stability of the NiAs-type structure without significantly degrading the magnetic properties. The addition of small amounts of Rh and Mn provides an improvement in the thermal stability with some degradation of the magnetic properties. The small amounts of Rh and Mn additions in MnBi stabilize an orthorhombic phase whose structural and magnetic properties are closely related to the ones of the previously reported high-temperature phase of MnBi (HT~MnBi). To date, the properties of the HT~MnBi, which is stable between $613$ and $719$~K, have not been studied in detail because of its transformation to the stable low-temperature MnBi (LT~MnBi), making measurements near and below its Curie temperature difficult. The Rh-stabilized MnBi with chemical formula Mn$_{1.0625-x}$Rh$_{x}$Bi [$x=0.02(1)$] adopts a new superstructure of the NiAs/Ni$_2$In structure family. It is ferromagnetic below a Curie temperature of $416$~K. The critical exponents of the ferromagnetic transition are not of the mean-field type but are closer to those associated with the Ising model in three dimensions. The magnetic anisotropy is uniaxial; the anisotropy energy is rather large, and it does not increase when raising the temperature, contrary to what happens in LT~MnBi. The saturation magnetization is approximately $3$~$μ_B$/f.u. at low temperatures. While this exact composition may not be application ready, it does show that alloying is a viable route to modifying the stability of this class of rare-earth-free magnet alloys.

description: Dissemination and implementation (D&I) aims to bridge the gap between discovery of new research and application of these findings in public health and healthcare settings. Systematic and defined methods of D&I are essential to promote the effective utilization of evidence-based practices to improve the quality of health promotion and population health. As D&I is relatively new on the research agenda and has evolved from diverse disciplines, challenges exist that impede the D&I process including inconsistent terminology, shortcomings and underutilization of relevant conceptual models, and a lack of consensus regarding appropriate research designs and methods. This paper aims to unify the most recent research in the field of D&I and use this information to inform strategies of the Protect Them© project, an intervention that implements D&I communication based strategies intended to motivate providers, parents and preteens to discuss prevention of a sexually transmitted infection and completion of the HPV vaccine series.

description: Objective To analyze which women diffuse family planning information and to describe the association between contraceptive use and diffusing family planning information. Methods Baseline data from the Measurement, Learning & Evaluation (MLE) project from 2010 in urban Nigeria, which was restricted to mobile women (weighted N=5,959), was used. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results Different characteristics are associated with diffusing family planning information in different areas. High equitable decision-making was highly significant for increasing the odds of diffusing family planning information. A positive association between contraceptive use and diffusing family planning information was found. Conclusion With more research to further identify natural diffusers, the characteristics associated with natural diffusers can be utilized for efficient spreading of program messages.

description: Social interactions vary in time and appear to be driven by intrinsic mechanisms, which in turn shape the emerging structure of the social network. Large-scale empirical observations of social interaction structure have become possible only recently, and modelling their dynamics is an actual challenge. Here we propose a temporal network model which builds on the framework of activity-driven time-varying networks with memory. The model also integrates key mechanisms that drive the formation of social ties - social reinforcement, focal closure and cyclic closure, which have been shown to give rise to community structure and the global connectedness of the network. We compare the proposed model with a real-world time-varying network of mobile phone communication and show that they share several characteristics from heterogeneous degrees and weights to rich community structure. Further, the strong and weak ties that emerge from the model follow similar weight-topology correlations as real-world social networks, including the role of weak ties.

description: Abstract Objective To characterize the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and current contraceptive use among married or partnered women in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Methods A secondary data analysis of Demographic Health Survey II data collected during 2013-2014 in the DRC was conducted. After restricting the sample to women who were married or partnered and had answered all questions of interest, 4,038 women remained. Descriptive bivariate analysis was conducted to investigate prevalence of chosen confounders: rural/urban residence, polygamous marriage, woman's education, and partner's education. Multivariate logistic regression was then used to model the association between IPV and contraceptive use while controlling for confounding. Results No statistically significant association between IPV and current contraceptive use was found (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: [0.92, 1.27], p = 0.357). Rural residence halved the odds of currently using contraceptives (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: [0.46, 0.66], p = 0.000). The strongest predictor of current contraceptive use was a woman's educational attainment, with secondary and post-secondary education significantly increasing odds of use (OR: 2.66, CI: [2.01, 3.52], p = 0.000 and 3.76 95% CI: [2.05, 6.88], p = 0.000). Partner's educational attainment followed a similar pattern, increasing odds of contraceptive use by 1.77 (CI: [1.12, 2.81], p = 0.014) and 2.31 (CI: [1.35, 3.97], p = 0.002) times for those with secondary and post-secondary education, respectively. Conclusions for practice This study confirms a previous finding of a lack of association between IPV and current contraceptive use in the DRC. Further research is warranted to determine the association among unmarried women. Keywords Intimate partner violence IPV Contraceptive use Democratic Republic of Congo
Analysis of Road Traffic Accidents to Identify Major causes of Accidents using Machine Learning Techniques: in The case of Addis Ababa City

description: Road traffic accidents are a serious issue of societies resulting in huge losses at the
 economic and social levels and responsible for millions of deaths and injuries every
 year in the world. In Ethiopia, the number of deaths due to traffic accidents is increasing
 from year to year. Addis Ababa is one of the cities that encounter a high number of
 accidents due to the increasing number of vehicles. The main objective of this study is
 to apply machine learning algorithms to predict the accident severity and identify the
 major causes of accidents in Addis Ababa city. It can be used for policymaking,
 planning, and reviewing the existing rules and regulations against road traffic safety
 and helps the community at large. The data was collected from Addis Ababa sub-city
 police departments of the year 2017-2020. The researcher used seven classification
 algorithms which are Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, Support Vector
 Machine, K Nearest Neighbor, Random Forest, and AdaBoost to compare and choose
 the best model to predict the accident severity as slight, serious and fatal injury and
 identify the major causes of the accidents using 12316 total records of accident dataset.
 Random Undersampling and SMOTE oversampling techniques are used to handle the
 class imbalance nature of the dependent feature. Principal Component Analysis is used
 for dimension reduction. The result shows that random forest achieved a higher F1
 score of 93.76% with hyperparameter tuning of 5 fold cross-validation after SMOTE
 oversampling and Principal Component Analysis are applied. Besides, Light condition,
 Driving Experience, Age band of the driver, Type of road lane, and Types of Junction
 are identified as important features to build the model

description: We study the superfluid phase transition in the two-dimensional (2D) excitonic system. Employing the extended Falicov-Kimball model (EFKM) and considering the local quantum correlations in the system composed of conduction band electrons and valence band holes we demonstrate the existence of the excitonic insulator (EI) state in the system. We show that at very low temperatures, the particle phase stiffness in the pure-2D excitonic system, governed by the non-local cross correlations, is responsible for the vortex-antivortex binding phase-field state, known as the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) superfluid state. We demonstrate that the existence of excitonic insulator phase is a necessary prerequisite, leading to quasi-long-range order in the 2D excitonic system.

description: Detailed simulation of showers in calorimeters is often the most time-consuming part of computing for high energy physics (HEP) experiments. Instead of the expensive multi-step particle tracking computation, one can develop models that generate energy deposited in the calorimeters according to some parameterisations. Machine learning (ML) techniques are employed to reproduce particle showers. A prototype of the example application for fast shower simulation has been developed and integrated within the standard toolkit for HEP simulation, Geant4. It demonstrates how to produce data for training of the ML model, how to train the model, and use it in the simulation alongside the detailed simulation.

description: The present paper describes a basic analytic methodology able to evaluate the territorial development potentials and to solve contingent conflicts originated by alternative uses of resources. The study analyses first of all the theoretical bases linked to territorial planning, secondly it thoroughly develops a methodological approach based on the principles of ecological economics. The approach that best integrates with the basic principles of such subject is the geographic multicriterial analysis. In particular, the application of a multicriterial analysis, based on the Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) aggregation operator, has introduced a technique of constant control of the trade-off present among the involved variables. In relation to the specific territorial characteristics we evaluated four potential guiding lines of development linked to the following sectors: agricultural, industrial-trade, touristic and residential, that we confronted with two evaluations related to sensitive environmental components: the ecological-naturalistic value and the water regulation.

L'impiego dei fogli elettronici per il calcolo della disponibiltà a pagare in valutazioni contingenti a domanda chiusa e 'double bounded'
Creators: name: Brun, Filippo
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2009

description: The assessment of the willingness to pay in contingent valuation problems requires, especially in dichotomous choice models, the use of specialized software, more or less complex and expensive. The purpose of this paper is to propose two simple models, implemented on normal spreadsheets, able to provide a first estimate of the average, median and other useful information of the willingness to pay. These data can be helpful for a first analysis of the results or for the planning of a following phase of studies, as in the case of the pre-tests. The first model draws a series of monetary values starting from the ranges of the answers in a double-bounded format. The second implements an algorithm of optimization of maximum likelihood and a grid search model to facilitate the research of initial values of the parameters.

description: This article makes an excursion into the history of mathematics, which is used in school mathematics. We would like to describe some components of mathematical notions developed by Jakub Kresa (1648-1715). We would like to compare his work with another two big mathematicians Isaac Newton (1643 -1727) and René Descartes (1596-1650), because it is possible to see some similarities in topics of their works. Isaac Newton wrote separately arithmetic and algebra in Arithmetica universalis, but in his work Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica he used only geometry. René Descartes integrates the knowledge from algebra, arithmetic and geometry in his work La Geometrie and in a similar way, Jakub Kresa described the mathematical theory in his work Analysis speciose trigonometriae sphaericae.

description: We report the observation of the intrinsic magnetic susceptibility of highly purified SWCNT samples prepared by a combination of acid treatment and density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU). We observed that the diamagnetic susceptibility of SWCNTs increases linearly with increasing nanotube diameter. We found that the magnetic susceptibility divided by the diameter is a universal function of the scaled temperature. Furthermore, the estimated magnetic susceptibilities of pure semiconducting and pure metallic SWCNT samples suggest that they respond differently to changes in carrier density, which is consistent with theory. These findings provide experimental verification of the theoretically predicted diameter, temperature, and metallicity dependence of the magnetic susceptibility.

Public Service Broadcasting and the Construction of the Angolan Nation: Audiences’ perceptions of News at 8pm and Muangolé José Paulo
Creators: name: Paulo, Jose
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2018

description: Studies of the media in Angola have been recent and very few, and have focused more on the general aspects of public media performances and how they interplay with Angolan politics and society. Public service broadcasting (PSB) has been included in these researches only as part of the media and rarely researched separately, despite its strong impact in this country. There have been no studies on PSB audiences or public broadcasting’s role in giving a voice to voiceless people. The long period (27 years) of civil war that commenced immediately after independence from Portuguese colonialism (1975) is acknowledged as the main reason for the scarcity of academic studies. This thesis, then, focuses on the perceptions of Angolan audiences regarding the role of their public service broadcasting as a catalyst for Angolan nation-building in this post-war society. From the constructivist perspective of nation-building as a project always in process, Angola’s post-war society, with its diversity of tribes, languages, races, ethnicity and traditions, is an example of such a nation in process. Three methodologies are used in this investigation: first, qualitative content analysis (QCA) evaluating samples of content from the News at 8pm both on Public Service Television and Angolan National Radio and the TV talk show Domingo a Muangolé; second, interviews with journalists to gain a perspective on the elitist idea of Angolan nation-building in Angolan PSB; and third, focus group discussions with sample audience members, to understand what Angolan PSB audiences expect and perceive from these media in view of their nation in construction, evaluating how their daily life is addressed by these broadcasters. The thesis found that Angolan PSB was doing less than expected in terms of addressing audiences’ stories. Conversely, the broadcast content highlighted a more elite vision of the nation. The Angolan PSB is in a process of transformation, as is the whole country at all levels (law, governance, and justice sectors), but this research found that audiences still expected the PSB to be an important tool to help the country build up a sense of national identity and belonging after the war. While the programmes studied were attempting to do this, their perspective was mainly limited to urban life and they presented a government-approved picture of the society. The disconnect between News at 8pm and its audiences’ needs and expectations is the main challenge that Angolan PSB has to deal with in the context of post-war nation building and present-day Angolan society.

description: Digitalization is transforming existing agricultural business processes and services and enabling new means to deploy innovative services and products at scale. At the core of these services and innovations is open data. In India, a lot of work has been done by the Central and State Governments, academic, research institutions, and the private sector in conceptualizing different approaches and aspects of an "Agri-Stack" to digitally transform agriculture. Recognizing the need to integrate these efforts and incorporate use cases, CGIAR Research Initiative on Digital Innovation, in partnership with The Agri Collaboratory (TAC), organized a consultation workshop in Delhi in November 2022. Participated by 70 stakeholders representing 54 organizations, the workshop enabled in-depth discussion on the design principles of thematic use cases and facilitated a broader debate on the specific building blocks needed. This document summarizes key principles discussed throughout the workshop.
