description: In order to investigate the Galactic-scale environmental effects on the evolution of protoplanetary disks, we explored the near-infrared (NIR) disk fraction of the Quartet cluster, which is a young cluster in the innermost Galactic disk at the Galactocentric radius Rg ~ 4 kpc. Because this cluster has a typical cluster mass of ~10^3 M_sun as opposed to very massive clusters, which have been observed in previous studies (>10^4 M_sun), we can avoid intra-cluster effects such as strong UV field from OB stars. Although the age of the Quartet is previously estimated to be 3-8 Myr old, we find that it is most likely ~3-4.5 Myr old. In moderately deep JHK images from the UKIDSS survey, we found eight HAeBe candidates in the cluster, and performed K-band medium-resolution ($R \equiv Δλ/ λ~ 800$) spectroscopy for three of them with the Subaru 8.2 m telescope. These are found to have both Brγabsorption lines as well as CO bandhead emission, suggesting that they are HAeBe stars with protoplanetary disks. We estimated the intermediate-mass disk fraction (IMDF) to be ~25 % for the cluster, suggesting slightly higher IMDF compared to those for young clusters in the solar neighborhood with similar cluster age, although such conclusion should await future spectroscopic study of all candidates of cluster members.

‘The special combination of qualities and experiences desirable in diplomacy is less frequently found in women than in men’: A study of the entry into and experiences of female diplomats in the Irish Department of External Affairs/Foreign Affairs, 1919-86

Subjects: classificationCode: 43
subject: History, heritage and archaeology

description: The above comment, expressed by Irish Minister to The Hague Josephine McNeill, to Secretary for External Affairs, Seán Nunan in 1953, demonstrates a prevalent opinion about female diplomats which were held by men, and evidently some women, which pervaded the Department of Foreign Affairs in the first fifty years of its existence. McNeill was appointed Ireland’s first female head of mission in 1950 and until the 1970s there were few women who held diplomatic status in the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs. Their participation in Irish foreign policy has been overlooked in historical accounts on Ireland’s foreign affairs.This is the first full study to examine the appointment to and experiences of women in the Department of Foreign Affairs from its creation in 1919 until 1986. It asks two central research questions, firstly, was there a female presence in the Irish foreign service during the period under study, and secondly, did women have an effect on the formulation and implementation of Irish foreign policy? In seeking to answer these questions a gender analysis has been applied to this study. It will locate gender in Irish foreign policy by identifying the appointment of women to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the posts allocated to women and the policy areas in which women were involved. The central argument of this thesis is that women were involved in and participated in Irish foreign affairs throughout the twentieth century. Ultimately, by including these women in the formulation and implementation of Irish foreign policy, this thesis seeks to provide a deeper and fuller understanding of Irish foreign affairs which has hitherto been overlooked in the historical scholarship.
A Novel Configuration of Cross-Switched T-Type (CT-Type) Multilevel Inverter
Creators: name: Meraj, Sheikh Tanzim
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Power electronics

description: This article introduces a novel configuration of multilevel inverter (MLI) with lownumber of power electric components. The inverter is a combination of two back to back T-type modules using two cross-connected switches.This inverter can operate using dc sources having either same or different voltage ratings. The proposed inverter can also be extended using cascaded connection to obtain higher voltage levels. This MLI and its extensions are suitable for other applications where high voltage is required. The major feature of this MLI is the formation of negative voltage levels without using any H-bridge circuit. Some other advantages of this MLI are low total harmonic distortion and highly efficient output voltage. A low-frequency modulation technique known as nearest level control is applied to produce the high-quality output voltage. The simulation was done usingMATLAB/Simulink, while the hardware prototype is build using TMS320F28335 digital signal processor. The performance of the proposed MLI is validated by obtaining the accurate simulation and experimental results.

description: In this work, we study a biquadratic Heisenberg model with coupled orbital degree of freedom using Monte Carlo simulation in order to investigate the phase transitions in iron-based superconductors. The antiferro-quadrupolar state, which may be related to the magnetism of FeSe [Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 116401 (2015)], is stabilized by the anisotropic biquadratic interaction induced by a ferro-orbital-ordered state. It is revealed that the orbital and nematic transitions occur at the same temperature for all the cases, supporting the mechanism of the orbital-driven nematicity as revealed in most recent experiments [Nat. Mater. 14, 210 (2015)]. In addition, it is suggested that the orbital interaction may lead to the separation of the structural and magnetic phase transitions as observed in many families of iron pnictides.

description: A new class of multi-scale structures, referred to as `parabolic metamaterials' is introduced and studied in this paper. For an elastic two-dimensional triangular lattice, we identify dynamic regimes, which corresponds to so-called `Dirac Bridges' on the dispersion surfaces. Such regimes lead to a highly localised and focussed unidirectional beam when the lattice is excited. We also show that the flexural rigidities of elastic ligaments are essential in establishing the `parabolic metamaterial' regimes.

description: We present a novel integral representation for a quotient of global automorphic L-functions, the symmetric square over the exterior square. The pole of this integral characterizes a period of a residual representation of an Eisenstein series. As such, the integral itself constitutes a period, of an arithmetic nature. The construction involves the study of local and global aspects of a new model for double covers of general linear groups, the metaplectic Shalika model. In particular, we prove uniqueness results over p-adic and Archimedean fields, and a new Casselman-Shalika type formula.

description: Opioid-related risk assessment is a key component of safe and effective pain care. Prior opioid misuse is a known predictor of opioid-related risk, but its predictive quality depends on the specific behavior – some behaviors confer high risk (red flag), whereas others confer medium (yellow flag) or low risk (green flag). Race and gender disparities in opioid prescribing are well documented, but little is known about how patient race and gender interact with prior opioid misuse to impact physicians’ risk assessments. One hundred physicians were presented 12 virtual patients (videos and text vignettes) with chronic pain who varied by race (Black, White), gender (female, male), and prior opioid nonadherence (red, yellow, green flag). Physicians made assessment decisions about patients’ risk for future opioid-related adverse events, abuse/misuse, diversion, and opioid use disorder (OUD). Linear mixed effects models examined the independent and interactive effects of patient race, gender, and prior opioid misuse on physicians’ risk assessments. Results indicated that severity of prior opioid nonadherence significantly impacted physicians’ risk assessments for future opioid-related adverse events, prescription misuse/abuse, diversion, and OUD. However, these effects differed based on patient gender. Men with yellow flag behaviors were rated at higher risk for adverse events, abuse/misuse, and OUD relative to women with yellow flag behaviors. Conversely, among patients with red flag behaviors, women were rated at higher risk for adverse events, abuse/misuse, and OUD relative to men. Patient race did not impact physicians’ risk assessments. These findings inform efforts to enhance equity and outcomes in chronic pain care.
Exploring the potential of citizen science for public health through an alcohol advertising case study

Subjects: Health promotion

description: Citizen science connects academic researchers with the public through combined efforts in scientific inquiry. The importance of involving impacted populations in health research is well established. However, how to achieve meaningful participation and the methodological impact of citizen science needs further examination. We examined the feasibility of using citizen science to understand the impact of alcohol advertising on Australian women through a breast cancer prevention project. Two hundred and eighty-two ('participants') citizen scientists completed demographic and behavioural questions via an online survey. The research participants moved into the role of citizen scientists by completing the data collection tasks of capturing and classifying images of alcohol advertising they saw online. Interrater reliability tests found high levels of agreement between citizen scientists and academic researchers with the classification of alcohol advertising brand (Kappa = 0.964, p < 0.001) and image type (Kappa = 0.936, p < 0.000). The citizen scientists were women aged 18 and over, with 62% between 35 and 55 years old. The majority were from major cities (78%), had attained a bachelor's degree or higher-level education (62%) and were recruited via email or Facebook (86%). The use of citizen science provided methodological gains through the creation of a unique dataset with higher levels of validity than the existing literature, which employed traditional investigator-driven research methodologies. Citizen science enriched the dataset and provided a powerful methodological vehicle to understand an environmental determinant of health. The study illuminates how public participation benefitted the research process, the challenges and the potential for citizen science to improve public health.
Exploring the relationship between victims and witnesses of aggression and anger expression in Thai adolescents
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Mental health services

description: Young people who are victims of, or witnesses to, aggression are at increased risk of developing a psychological disorder and behaving aggressively themselves. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of exposure to aggression in a sample of 1 770 students, aged 15–26 years recruited from technical colleges in Thailand. Method: Self-report questionnaires were used to assess the prevalence rates for both experiencing aggression as a victim and for witnessing an aggressive incident. Logistic regression methods were then used to examine the possible association between acting aggressively and being a victim of, or a witness to, aggression. Results: In the previous six months, over half of all students reported being yelled at and had witnessed friends being hit. Those students who reported ‘being pushed’ or ‘being hit’ themselves had higher levels of anger expression. Being an indirect victim and witnessing aggression were only weakly associated with anger expression. Conclusions: Adolescents in Thailand experience high rates of victimisation and commonly witness aggression. Being personally victimised was shown to be significantly related to a subsequent expression of anger, suggesting that interventions to prevent direct confrontation may help to reduce the likelihood of victims becoming perpetrators.

description: Due to the recent restrictions deriving from the application of the Kyoto protocol, the main components of the gas mixtures presently used in the Resistive Plate Chambers systems of the LHC experiments will be most probably phased out of production in the coming years. Identifying possible replacements with the adequate characteristics requires an intense R&D, which was recently started, also in collaborations across the various experiments. Possible candidates have been proposed and are thoroughly investigated. Some tests on one of the most promising candidate - HFO-1234ze, an allotropic form of tetrafluoropropane- have already been reported. Here an innovative approach, based on the use of Helium, to solve the problems related to the too elevate operating voltage of HFO-1234ze based gas mixtures, is discussed and the relative first results are shown.

description: Aims: We developed a new method of estimating the stellar parameters Teff, log g, [M/H], and elemental abundances. This method was implemented in a new code, SP_Ace (Stellar Parameters And Chemical abundances Estimator). This is a highly automated code suitable for analyzing the spectra of large spectroscopic surveys with low or medium spectral resolution (R=2,000-20,000). Methods: After the astrophysical calibration of the oscillator strengths of 4643 absorption lines covering the wavelength ranges 5212-6860Å and 8400-8924Å, we constructed a library that contains the equivalent widths (EW) of these lines for a grid of stellar parameters. The EWs of each line are fit by a polynomial function that describes the EW of the line as a function of the stellar parameters. The coefficients of these polynomial functions are stored in a library called the "$GCOG$ library". SP_Ace, a code written in FORTRAN95, uses the GCOG library to compute the EWs of the lines, constructs models of spectra as a function of the stellar parameters and abundances, and searches for the model that minimizes the $χ^2$ deviation when compared to the observed spectrum. The code has been tested on synthetic and real spectra for a wide range of signal-to-noise and spectral resolutions. Results: SP_Ace derives stellar parameters such as Teff, log g, [M/H], and chemical abundances of up to ten elements for low to medium resolution spectra of FGK-type stars with precision comparable to the one usually obtained with spectra of higher resolution. Systematic errors in stellar parameters and chemical abundances are presented and identified with tests on synthetic and real spectra. Stochastic errors are automatically estimated by the code for all the parameters. A simple Web front end of SP_Ace can be found at http://dc.g-vo.org/SP_ACE, while the source code will be published soon.

description: We document the long-term evolution of an Agulhas ring detected from satellite altimetry using a technique from nonlinear dynamical systems that enables objective (i.e., observer-independent) eddy framing. Such objectively detected eddies have Lagrangian (material) boundaries that remain coherent (unfilamented) over the detection period. The ring preserves a quite compact material entity for a period of about 2 years even after most initial coherence is lost within 5 months after detection. We attribute this to the successive development of short-term coherent material boundaries around the ring. These boundaries provide effective short-term shielding for the ring, which prevents a large fraction of the ring's interior from being mixed with the ambient turbulent flow. We show that such coherence regain events cannot be inferred from Eulerian analysis. This process is terminated by a ring-splitting event which marks the ring demise, near the South American coast. The genesis of the ring is characterized by a ring-merging event away from the Agulhas retroflection, followed by a 4-month-long partial coherence stage, scenario that is quite different than a simple current occlusion and subsequent eddy pinch off.

 Note: The name Cubeba neesii Miq. (1843) was based on a specimen collected from Singapore, and listed as Wallich 6646 A, under the unpublished name Piper pedicellosum Wall.. Later, C. de Candolle (1869) transferred the species to Piper as Piper pedicellosum Wall. ex C. DC. by restoring Wallich’s unpublished name. This action created a superfluous name because it included the type of Cubeba neesii Miq. (Art.52). The species is considered here under Piper and a new combination, Piper neesii (Miq.) P.K. Mukh. is proposed here. The specimen Wallich 6646 A at K is designated here as the lectotype as it has a complete plant in contrast to the one at CAL, which is preserved in a disintegrated state.
 Piper neesii will not be a later homonym of Piper neesianum C. DC. (1869: 256), a species from Mexico /Central America. The two epithets are similar, but different: “ neesii ” is a noun genitive, whereas “ neesianum ” is a neuter adjective and they do not constitute homonyms (Art. 53.3 Ex. 12). Hooker (1886: 81) recorded Piper pedicellosum Wall. ex C. DC. from the Andaman Islands, India. C. de Candolle (1914: 322) proposed a new forma ‘B’, an invalid name, and cited “Andaman: Goplakanbang (?), King’s Collector s.n. ”.

description: The aim of this review is to assess the best available evidence regarding risk factors for discontinuation from anti-retroviral therapy in Ethiopia. Specifically, the review will be assessing the association between discontinuation from anti-retroviral therapy and the following: • Socio-demographic and economic factors • Behavioral factors • Clinical factors • Institutional factors INCLUSION CRITERIA Types of participants This review will consider studies reporting on HIV-positive participants aged 15 years and older who have commenced anti-retroviral therapy. Patients who have been transferred out will be excluded. Patients should have at least one follow-up time. If studies include both adult and pediatrics, and are not stratified by age (pediatrics and adults) during analysis, they will be excluded. Besides, if the studies focus on attrition (mortality or discontinuation) and are not stratified by mortality and discontinuation during analysis, the study will also be excluded. Types of exposure This review will consider studies that have examined risk factors for anti-retroviral therapy treatment discontinuation. These include socio-demographic and economic risk factors such as age, sex, income and being dependent on food supplies; behavioral risk factors such as mental status, presence of bereavement, the partner’s HIV status and fear stigma; clinical factors such as isoniazid prophylaxis provision, presence of side effects, baseline CD4 counts and regimen substitution; and institutional risk factors such as distance from the facility and waiting times. Types of outcomes This review will consider studies that include the following outcomes: anti-retroviral therapy treatment discontinuation, i.e. lost to follow up, drop out or defaulting and stopping TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS.

description: The breakdown behaviour of SiPMs (Silicon PhotoMultiplier) with pixel sizes of 15$\times $15, 25$\times $25, 50$\times $50, and 100$\times $100 $μ$m$^2$, manufactured by KETEK, has been investigated. From the current-voltage characteristics measured with and without illumination by LED light of 470 nm wavelength, the current-breakdown voltage, $V_I$, and from linear fits of the voltage dependence of the SiPM gain, measured by recording pulse-area spectra, the gain-breakdown voltage, $V_G$, have been obtained. The voltage dependence of the Geiger-breakdown probability was determined from the fraction of zero photoelectron events with LED illumination. By comparing the results to a model calculation, the photodetection-breakdown voltage, $V_{PD}$, has been determined. Within experimental uncertainties, $V_I$ and $V_{PD}$ are equal and independent of pixel size. For $V_G$, a dependence on pixel size is observed. The difference $V_I - V_G$ is about 1 V for the SiPM with 15 $μ$m pixels, decreases with pixel size and is compatible with zero for the SiPM with 100 $μ$m pixels.

description: We point out that the MERA network for the ground state of a 1+1-dimensional conformal field theory has the same structural features as kinematic space---the geometry of CFT intervals. In holographic theories kinematic space becomes identified with the space of bulk geodesics studied in integral geometry. We argue that in these settings MERA is best viewed as a discretization of the space of bulk geodesics rather than of the bulk geometry itself. As a test of this kinematic proposal, we compare the MERA representation of the thermofield-double state with the space of geodesics in the two-sided BTZ geometry, obtaining a detailed agreement which includes the entwinement sector. We discuss how the kinematic proposal can be extended to excited states by generalizing MERA to a broader class of compression networks.

Comm.}, 2015, \textbf{6}, 6486], electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of nitrogenated (C$_2$N), phosphorated (C$_2$P) and arsenicated (C$_2$As) monolayer holey graphene structures are investigated using first-principles calculations. Our total energy calculations indicate that, similar to the C$_2$N monolayer, the formation of the other two holey structures are also energetically feasible. Calculated cohesive energies for each monolayer show a decreasing trend going from C$_2$N to C$_2$As structure. Remarkably, all the holey monolayers are direct band gap semiconductors. Regarding the mechanical properties (in-plane stiffness and Poisson ratio), we find that C$_2$N has the highest in-plane stiffness and the largest Poisson ratio among the three monolayers. In addition, our calculations reveal that for the C$_2$N, C$_2$P and C$_2$As monolayers, creation of N and P defects changes the semiconducting behavior to a metallic ground state while the inclusion of double H impurities in all holey structures results in magnetic ground states. As an alternative to the experimentally synthesized C$_2$N, C$_2$P and C$_2$As are mechanically stable and flexible semiconductors which are important for potential applications in optoelectronics.

description: We report a comparative study of magnetic field driven domain wall motion in thin films made of different magnetic materials for a wide range of field and temperature. The full thermally activated creep motion, observed below the depinning threshold, is shown to be described by a unique universal energy barrier function. Our findings should be relevant for other systems whose dynamics can be modeled by elastic interfaces moving on disordered energy landscapes.

description: The shortage of treatment options for leishmaniasis, especially those easy to administer and viable for deployment in the world's poorest regions, highlights the importance of employing these strategies to cost-effectively investigate repurposing candidates. This scoping review aims to map the studies using in silico methodologies for drug repurposing against leishmaniasis. This study followed JBI recommendations for scoping reviews. Articles were searched on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using keywords related to leishmaniasis and in silico methods for drug discovery, without publication date restrictions. The selection was based on primary studies involving computational methods for antileishmanial drug repurposing. Information about methodologies, obtained data, and outcomes were extracted. After the full-text appraisal, 34 studies were included in this review. Molecular docking was the preferred method for evaluating repurposing candidates (n=25). Studies reported 154 unique ligands and 72 different targets, sterol 14-alpha demethylase and trypanothione reductase being the most frequently reported. In silico screening was able to correctly pinpoint some known active pharmaceutical classes and propose previously untested drugs. Fifteen drugs investigated in silico exhibited low micromolar inhibition (IC50 < 10 µM) of Leishmania spp. in vitro. In conclusion, several in silico repurposing candidates are yet to be investigated in vitro and in vivo. Future research could expand the number of targets screened and employ advanced methods to optimize drug selection, offering new starting points for treatment development.

Factors associated with patient satisfaction in outpatient department of Suva sub-divisional health center, Fiji, 2018
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: With evolving health care industry toward patient centered orientation, inputs from the patients’ perspective is valuable. Improved patient satisfaction is associated with increased levels of adherence to treatment processes and recommended prevention, and improved health outcomes. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the current level of patient satisfaction and explore its determinants in the Suva Subdivision health centers, Fiji, 2018. Methods: This was a mixed method cross-sectional study employing both quantitative and qualitative designs. A random sample of 410 participants attending the outpatient services completed the self-administered structured questionnaire. The questionnaire focused on socio-demographic features, waiting time, doctors’ communication, and patient trust. Data from 375 questionnaires (response rate of 91%) was analyzed in SPSS where descriptive analysis and univariate and multivariate logistic regression was done at 0.05 level of significance and 95% confidence interval to find the determinants of patient satisfaction. From these 375 participants, 20 participants were purposefully selected for audio recorded interview guided by a semi-structured questionnaire and data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The majority of the patients were generally fully satisfied with their consultation (69.3%). Univariate logistic regression showed that age, gender, education level, waiting time, doctors’ communication behavior, and patient trust level were significantly associated with patient satisfaction independently. After controlling for all the variables, gender, number of visits, waiting time, and patient trust were significantly associated with trust. Those who had full trust in the doctors, were more likely to be fully satisfied with their consultation (aOR of 18; p = 0.0001) and those who got seen within 1 h, were more likely to be satisfied with their consultation (aOR of 3.3; p = 0.0001). Though, the patients voiced that getting a satisfying consultation was worth the wait. The doctors’ attitude and way of communication also made a difference to the patient’s level of satisfaction. Conclusions: This study showed that patient satisfaction is positively associated with patient trust, doctors’ interpersonal skills and communication behavior and negatively associated with waiting time. Hence, doctors upgrading their communication skills and health service managers strategizing ways to improve waiting time can contribute to better patient trust and thus lead to better patient satisfaction and positively influence health outcomes.

Evaluating the effect of stellar multiplicity on the PSF of space-based weak lensing surveys

description: The next generation of space-based telescopes used for weak lensing surveys will require exquisite point spread function (PSF) determination. Previously negligible effects may become important in the reconstruction of the PSF, in part because of the improved spatial resolution. In this paper, we show that unresolved multiple star systems can affect the ellipticity and size of the PSF and that this effect is not cancelled even when using many stars in the reconstruction process. We estimate the error in the reconstruction of the PSF due to the binaries in the star sample both analytically and with image simulations for different PSFs and stellar populations. The simulations support our analytical finding that the error on the size of the PSF is a function of the multiple stars distribution and of the intrinsic value of the size of the PSF, i.e. if all stars were single. Similarly, the modification of each of the complex ellipticity components (e1,e2) depends on the distribution of multiple stars and on the intrinsic complex ellipticity. Using image simulations, we also show that the predicted error in the PSF shape is a theoretical limit that can be reached only if large number of stars (up to thousands) are used together to build the PSF at any desired spatial position. For a lower number of stars, the PSF reconstruction is worse. Finally, we compute the effect of binarity for different stellar magnitudes and show that bright stars alter the PSF size and ellipticity more than faint stars. This may affect the design of PSF calibration strategies and the choice of the related calibration fields.

description: Advanced synthesis of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) enables their application in diverse fields, notably in chemical and electrical sensing, photovoltaics, or quantum electronic devices. In particular, Indium Arsenide (InAs) NWs are an ideal platform for quantum devices, e.g. they may host topological Majorana states. While the synthesis has been continously perfected, only few techniques were developed to tailor individual NWs after growth. Here we present three wet chemical etch methods for the post-growth morphological engineering of InAs NWs on the sub-100 nm scale. The first two methods allow the formation of self-aligned electrical contacts to etched NWs, while the third method results in conical shaped NW profiles ideal for creating smooth electrical potential gradients and shallow barriers. Low temperature experiments show that NWs with etched segments have stable transport characteristics and can serve as building blocks of quantum electronic devices. As an example we report the formation of a single electrically stable quantum dot between two etched NW segments.

description: After recent research has identified student misconceptions for SQL, the authors of this document have worked on developing questions to identify whether students hold these misconceptions. Through a five-step process, we created a set of 20 questions (10 pairs), which can be used to identify 10 different SQL misconceptions.
 In this document, we present each of the ten misconceptions through a small introduction. Then, we share the pair of questions. The document also includes a question ordering that we suggest, if you want to use this instrument in your classroom.
 For each question, there is an indication of which answer(s) are correct, which represent misconceptions, and which are other (distracting) erroneous answers. Please note that all answers can be shuffled, they are presented in random order.
Breaking the Justice Impasse in Syria
Creators: name: Herremans, Brigitte
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: After the start of the 2011 uprising, Syrian and international justice actors embraced the transitional justice paradigm to support the hoped-for transition. However, the transformation of the uprising to a civil war altered the mobilisation for justice, shifting the main focus from democratic reforms and the redress of past harm to the recognition of, and accountability for, ongoing injustices. Notwithstanding the impossibility of implementing a model version of transitional justice, Syrian and international justice actors have continued to use transitional justice concepts and initiatives to mobilise for justice. In this presentation, I demonstrate how this endeavour has generated important innovations in the domain of documentation, criminal accountability and truth-seeking.
