description: The tumor microenvironment (TME) is composed of a heterogenous population of cells that exist alongside the extracellular matrix and soluble components. These components can shape an environment that is conducive to tumor growth and metastatic spread. It is well-established that stromal cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the TME play a pivotal role in creating and maintaining a growth-permissive environment for tumor cells. A growing body of work has uncovered that tumor cells recruit and educate CAFs to remodel the TME, however, the mechanisms by which this occurs remain incompletely understood. Recent studies suggest that the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a key transcription factor that regulates the function of CAFs, and their crosstalk with tumor and immune cells within the TME. CAF-intrinsic STAT3 activity within the TME correlates with tumor progression, immune suppression and eventually the establishment of metastases. In this review, we will focus on the roles of STAT3 in regulating CAF function and their crosstalk with other cells constituting the TME and discuss the utility of targeting STAT3 within the TME for therapeutic benefit.
title: The Geopolitical Context for Institutional Change: The Case of Prussia in the 17th and 18th Century
Creators: name: Berker, Christian
Publisher: name: Duncker & Humblot
Year: 2025

description: After the "institutional turn" economists are now in a lively debate about the role of institutions for growth as well as the sources of institutional change. This paper discusses institutional change in Prussia in the 17th and 18th century. It shows the importance of the geopolitical context for understanding institutional change. Using three political events, the paper combines geographical, institutional and political arguments and highlights how context-sensitive institutional change can be. Prussia’s institutional change was heavily influenced by its many direct neighbours and the political necessities of that time. Therefore, time and space (location) are highly relevant for institutional change.

description: Structural and magnetic properties of the CoMn$_{0.88}$Cu$_{0.12}$Ge compound have been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) accompanied with investigation of magnetic properties under applied hydrostatic pressure up to 12 kbar. It has been found that the orthorhombic crystal structure of the TiNiSi-type, which is dominant at low temperatures, turns into the hexagonal Ni$_2$In-type one, slightly above 200 K. The structural transition is of the first-order type as confirmed by presence of distinct thermal hysteresis exceeding 20 K. The ac magnetic measurements indicate a ferromagnetic order below the Curie temperature $T_C$ of 238 K, followed by additional anomaly at lower temperatures - the latter one being related to the structural transition. Application of hydrostatic pressure leads to temperature separation of the purely magnetic transition, whose Curie temperature $T_C$ slowly increases with applied pressure, and the magnetostructural transition characterized by critical temperature showing much rapid decrease with increasing pressure. Comparison of the DSC data for the investigated compound and the isostructural CoMn$_{0.95}$Cu$_{0.05}$Ge one has made it possible to determine both the structural and magnetic components of entropy change.

description: This paper assesses the pattern of infant mortality by maternal age for white, black, and
Mexican mothers using the 2013 Period Linked Birth/Infant Death Public Use File from the Centers
for Disease Control. The results are consistent with the “weathering” hypothesis, which suggests
that white women benefit from delayed childbearing while for black women early childbearing is
adaptive because of deteriorating health status through the childbearing years. For white women,
the risk (adjusted for covariates) of infant death is U-shaped—lowest in the early thirties—while
for black women the risk increases linearly with age. Mexican-origin women show a J-shape, with
highest risk at the oldest ages. The results underscore the need for understanding the relationship
between maternal age and infant mortality in the context of unequal health experiences across
race/ethnic groups in the US.

description: This study examines narratives of social identity in two media genres of Mexican melodrama: the most popular telenovela of all time, Maria del Barrio (Angelii Nesma Medina, México, 1995-1996), and the arthouse blockbuster Roma (Alfonso Cuarón, México, 2018). Although critics have long disparaged melodrama as uncritical, I argue that María del Barrio and Roma turn this genre’s focus on the family as a critical exposition of class, gender and ethnic disparities in Mexican life.

description: As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly sophisticated and ubiquitous in natural language processing (NLP) applications, ensuring their robustness, trustworthiness, and alignment with human values has become a critical challenge. This paper presents a novel framework for contextual grounding in textual models, with a particular emphasis on the Context Representation stage. Our approach aims to enhance the reliability and ethical alignment of these models through a comprehensive, context-aware methodology. By explicitly capturing and representing relevant situational, cultural, and ethical contexts in a machine-readable format, we lay the foundation for anchoring a model's behavior within these contexts. Our approach leverages techniques from knowledge representation and reasoning, such as ontologies, semantic web technologies, and logic-based formalisms. We evaluate our framework on real-world textual datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving model performance, fairness, and alignment with human expectations, while maintaining high accuracy. Furthermore, we discuss the other key components of the framework, including context-aware encoding, context-aware learning, interpretability and explainability, and continuous monitoring and adaptation. This research contributes to the growing body of work on responsible AI, offering a practical approach to developing more reliable, trustworthy, and ethically-aligned language models. Our findings have significant implications for the deployment of LLMs in sensitive domains such as healthcare, legal systems, and social services, where contextual understanding is paramount.

Shuffle Private Linear Contextual Bandits

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Differential privacy (DP) has been recently introduced to linear contextual bandits to formally address the privacy concerns in its associated personalized services to participating users (e.g., recommendations). Prior work largely focus on two trust models of DP: the central model, where a central server is responsible for protecting users sensitive data, and the (stronger) local model, where information needs to be protected directly on user side. However, there remains a fundamental gap in the utility achieved by learning algorithms under these two privacy models, e.g., $\tilde{O}(\sqrt{T})$ regret in the central model as compared to $\tilde{O}(T^{3/4})$ regret in the local model, if all users are unique within a learning horizon $T$. In this work, we aim to achieve a stronger model of trust than the central model, while suffering a smaller regret than the local model by considering recently popular shuffle model of privacy. We propose a general algorithmic framework for linear contextual bandits under the shuffle trust model, where there exists a trusted shuffler in between users and the central server, that randomly permutes a batch of users data before sending those to the server. We then instantiate this framework with two specific shuffle protocols: one relying on privacy amplification of local mechanisms, and another incorporating a protocol for summing vectors and matrices of bounded norms. We prove that both these instantiations lead to regret guarantees that significantly improve on that of the local model, and can potentially be of the order $\tilde{O}(T^{3/5})$ if all users are unique. We also verify this regret behavior with simulations on synthetic data. Finally, under the practical scenario of non-unique users, we show that the regret of our shuffle private algorithm scale as $\tilde{O}(T^{2/3})$, which matches that the central model could achieve in this case.

description: The “cutter quilt” fad of the 1980s and 1990s was initially rejected by contemporary quilters as well as quilt collectors because it disregarded the culturally-assigned weight placed on quilts even in poor condition as historical art objects tied to female production. Today, with the increased rhetoric of recycling or “upcycling,” the stigma of using quilts for crafts has almost disappeared.

description: Aging leads to a gradual decline in kidney function, making the kidneys increasingly vulnerable to various diseases. Oxidative stress, together with cellular senescence, has been established as paramount in promoting the aging process of the kidney. Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between ROS formation and antioxidant defense mechanisms, has been implicated in the kidney's cellular injury, inflammation, and premature senescence. Concurrently, the accumulation of SCs in the kidney also exacerbates oxidative stress via the secretion of pro-inflammatory and tissue-damaging factors as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Recently, SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase, has been pivotal in combating oxidative stress and cellular senescence in the aging kidney. SIRT1 acts as a potential antioxidant molecule through myriad pathways that influence diverse transcription factors and enzymes essential in maintaining redox homeostasis. SIRT1 promotes longevity and renal health by modulating the acetylation of cell cycle and senescence pathways. This review covers the complex relationship between oxidative stress and cellular senescence in the aging kidney, emphasizing the protective role of SIRT1.

description: Sorting quantum fields into different modes according to their Fock-space quantum numbers is a highly desirable quantum operation. In this Letter, we show that a pair of two-level emitters, chirally coupled to a waveguide, may scatter single- and two-photon components of an input pulse into orthogonal temporal modes with a fidelity $\gtrsim 0.9997$. We develop a general theory to characterize and optimize this process and observe an interesting dynamics in the two-photon scattering regime: while the first emitter gives rise to a complex multimode field, the second emitter recombines the field amplitudes and the net two-photon scattering induces a self-time reversal of the pulse mode. The presented scheme can be employed to construct logic elements for propagating photons, such as a deterministic nonlinear-sign gate with a fidelity $\gtrsim 0.9995$

description: Multimode silicon photonics, leveraging mode-division multiplexing technologies, offers significant potential to increase capacity of large-scale multiprocessing systems for on-chip optical interconnects. These technologies have implications not only for telecom and datacom applications, but also for cutting-edge fields such as quantum and nonlinear photonics. Thus, the development of compact, low-loss and low-crosstalk multimode devices, in particular mode exchangers, is crucial for effective on-chip mode manipulation. This work introduces a novel mode exchanger that exploits the properties of subwavelength grating metamaterials and symmetric Y-junctions, achieving low losses and crosstalk over a broad bandwidth and a compact size of only 6.5 μm {\times} 2.6 μm. The integration of SWG nanostructures in our design enables precise control of mode exchange through different propagation constants in the arms and metamaterial, and takes advantage of dispersion engineering to broaden the operating bandwidth. Experimental characterization demonstrates, to the best of our knowledge, the broadest operational bandwidth covering from 1420 nm to 1620 nm, with measured losses as low as 0.5 dB and extinction ratios higher than 10 dB. Enhanced performance is achieved within a 149 nm bandwidth (1471-1620 nm), showing measured losses below 0.4 dB and extinction ratios greater than 18 dB.

description: Hintergrund: Das vorliegende Hypothesenpapier strukturiert die wissenschaftliche Arbeitdes Forschungsprojekts E-Valuate bis Ende 2025. Projektziel ist es, Arbeitsmethoden und Vorgehensweisen für Wirkungsorientierung in der Ministerialverwaltung auf Bundesebene, am Beispiel der Digitalstrategie der Bundesregierung zu entwickeln.

Vorgehen: Aus Interviews, Workshops und Hintergrundgesprächen hat das Projektteam Hypothesen zur Wirkungsorientierung in der Ministerialbürokratie auf Bundesebene abgeleitet. Bei den Hypothesen handelt es sich nicht um gesicherte Erkenntnisse. Siewerden in den kommenden Jahren untersucht, nachgeschärft, ergänzt oder gegebenenfalls komplett verworfen.

Status Quo / Hypothesen (verkürzt dargestellt. Ausformulierung und Begründung ab S. 6):

In der Ministerialverwaltung auf Bundesebene kommen Arbeitsmethoden für Wirkungsorientierung bisher kaum zum Einsatz.

Komplexe Stakeholder-Konstellationen erschweren Wirkungsorientierung.

Wirkungsorientierung ist nicht institutionell verankert. Es gibt wenig Anreize für wirkungsorientiertes Arbeiten.

Oftmals fehlt das Wissen, wie Wirkungsorientierung anzuwenden ist.

Es fehlt die Zeit für Wirkungsorientierung bei der Vorbereitung und Umsetzungvon Maßnahmen.

Der Bezug zwischen Maßnahmen und strategischen Zielen ist nicht ausreichend hergestellt. Das erschwert Wirkungsorientierung.

Zielbild: Wir leben in unsicheren Zeiten. Um mit dieser Unsicherheit umgehen zu können, müssen Politik und Verwaltung ihre Handlungen auf die zu erreichende gesellschaftliche Wirkung ausrichten. Das ist nur möglich, wenn für staatliches Handeln strukturierte Lernprozesse etabliert werden. Hierfür bedarf es Arbeitsmethoden und Vorgehensweisen für Wirkungsorientierung.

Ausblick: Auf Grundlage der weiteren Arbeit an den Hypothesen werden (wo möglich) Lösungsangebote für die Maßnahmenteams der Digitalstrategie erarbeitet. Wir veröffentlichen einen Leitfaden für Wirkungsorientiertes Arbeiten und begleiten sechs Maßnahmenteams als Vorreiter und Pilotprojekte eng bei der Ausrichtung auf Wirkung. Das vorliegende Hypothesenpapier dient als wissenschaftlicher Rahmen des Projekts und wird kontinuierlich fortgeschrieben (und die Hypothesen entsprechend angepasst).

description: Due to its rotation, Earth traps a few equatorial ocean and atmospheric waves, including Kelvin, Yanai, Rossby, and Poincare modes. It has been recently demonstrated that the mathematical origin of equatorial waves is intricately related to the nontrivial topology of hydrodynamic equations describing oceans or the atmosphere. In the present work, we consider plasma oscillations supported by a two-dimensional electron gas confined at the surface of a sphere or a cylinder. We argue that in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, these systems host a set of equatorial magnetoplasma waves that are counterparts to the equatorial waves trapped by Earth. For a spherical geometry, the equatorial modes are well developed only if their penetration length is smaller than the radius of the sphere. For a cylindrical geometry, the spectrum of equatorial modes is weakly dependent on the cylinder radius and overcomes finite-size effects. We argue that this exceptional robustness can be explained by destructive interference effects. We discuss possible experimental setups, including grains and rods composed of topological insulators (e.g., Bi2Se3) or metal-coated dielectrics (e.g., Au2S).

description: Family violence can impact the health and wellbeing of victim-survivors. Nurses and other healthcare providers are well placed to respond to family violence, yet evidence shows that nurses have limited knowledge of family violence and students are unprepared for this work. The objective of this study was to evaluate a pilot of the subject Family Violence Best Practice Response for undergraduate nurses and other healthcare students at an Australian university. The study used a cross-sectional pre-post-test design. Survey instruments included a modified version of the Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Survey (PREMIS) tool and the World Health Organization Curriculum evaluation tools. Sixty-four students enrolled in the pilot. Participants made significant improvements in their feelings of preparedness to complete family violence work and in their perceived knowledge across a range of clinical practices and knowledge domains. Qualitative data showed students enjoyed the subject and gained valuable knowledge of how to enquire and validate disclosures. Healthcare professionals should receive training and be ready and able to identify and sensitively respond to victim-survivors of family violence when they enter the workforce.
Selective measurement of the longitudinal electron spin relaxation time $T_1$ of Ce$^{3+}$ ions in a YAG lattice: Resonant spin inertia

description: Electron spin oriented along an external magnetic field is subject to longitudinal spin relaxation with characteristic time $T_1$. The corresponding decay is nonoscillating, so one cannot readily ascribe $T_1$ to a certain $g$ factor. This becomes a problem when several electronic states with different $g$ factors are present in the system, e.g. electrons and holes. We solve this problem by optically pumping spin polarization and then selectively depolarizing it using a radio frequency (rf) field. By modulating the rf field one can observe the retarded modulation of spin polarization which depends on the relation between the modulation period and $T_1$. Using this selective spin inertia method, we unveil the strong anisotropy of $T_1$ for rare-earth Ce$^{3+}$ ions in a YAG crystal at low temperatures and low magnetic fields. We also show that the spread of Larmor frequencies within the electron ensemble in this system is not static, but results from the fluctuations of internal magnetic fields on a timescale much shorter than $T_1$.

description: MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is a small, non-coding RNA overexpressed in gastric cancer and many other solid malignancies, where it exhibits both pro-and anti-tumourigenic properties. However, the pathways regulating miR-21 and the consequences of its inhibition in gastric cancer remain incompletely understood. By exploiting the spontaneous Stat3-dependent formation of inflammationassociated gastric tumors in Gp130F/F mice, we functionally established miR-21 as a Stat3-controlled driver of tumor growth and progression. We reconciled our discoveries by identifying several conserved Stat3 binding motifs upstream of the miR-21 gene promoter, and showed that the systemic administration of a miR-21-specific antisense oligonucleotide antagomir reduced the established gastric tumor burden in Gp130F/F mice. We molecularly delineated the therapeutic benefits of miR21 inhibition with the functional restoration of PTEN in vitro and in vivo, alongside an attenuated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and the extracellular matrix remodeling phenotype of tumors. We corroborated our preclinical findings by correlating high STAT3 and miR-21 expression with the reduced survival probability of gastric cancer patients. Collectively, our results provide a molecular framework by which miR-21 mediates inflammation-associated gastric cancer progression, and establish miR-21 as a robust therapeutic target for solid malignancies characterized by excessive Stat3 activity.

description: A Bohemian matrix family is a set of matrices all of whose entries are drawn from a fixed, usually discrete and hence bounded, subset of a field of characteristic zero. Originally these were integers -- hence the name, from the acronym BOunded HEight Matrix of Integers (BOHEMI) -- but other kinds of entries are also interesting. Some kinds of questions about Bohemian matrices can be answered by numerical computation, but sometimes exact computation is better. In this paper we explore some Bohemian families (symmetric, upper Hessenberg, or Toeplitz) computationally, and answer some open questions posed about the distributions of eigenvalue densities.

description: Defensins are a class of host defence peptides (HDPs) that often harbour antimicrobial and anticancer activities, making them attractive candidates as novel therapeutics. In comparison with current antimicrobial and cancer treatments, defensins uniquely target specific membrane lipids via mechanisms distinct from other HDPs. Therefore, defensins could be potentially developed as therapeutics with increased selectivity and reduced susceptibility to the resistance mechanisms of tumour cells and infectious pathogens. In this review, we highlight recent advances in defensin research with a particular focus on membrane lipid-targeting in cancer and infection settings. In doing so, we discuss strategies to harness lipid-binding defensins for anticancer and anti-infective therapies.
Dynamical Stability Analysis of Accelerating f(T) Gravity Models

description: In this paper, we have emphasized the stability analysis of the accelerating cosmological models obtained in $f(T)$ gravity theory. The behavior of the models based on the evolution of the equation of state parameter shows phantom-like behavior at the present epoch. The scalar perturbation technique is used to create the perturbed evolution equations, and the stability of the models has been demonstrated. Also, we have performed the dynamical system analysis for both the models. In the two specific $f(T)$ gravity models, three critical points are obtained in each model. In each model, at least one critical point has been observed to be stable.

title: Constructing the Ideal in Miniature: Symbolic and Political Meaning of Early Twentieth Century American Doll Houses

subject: Doll houses
subject: Miniatures

description: This thesis describes how the doll and the house are not just objects of material culture. This paper is based on research focused on twentieth-century doll houses and the homes they were made to represent. By reproducing doll houses into playthings, collectors and manufactures quickly defined and normalized an archetype, that is, a two-story, single family structure for the “ideal” American home. Studying popular doll houses from 1890 to 1940, advice journals (Ladies Home Journal, et al), mass housing projects of the early twentieth-century, we can see how an “acceptable” image of an ideal house emerges in the United States Simultaneously, American museums were being built as public institutions, attempting to reimagine urban areas into cultural spaces. This paper gives a brief history of both museums and the origins of doll houses to help explain how and why these mundane miniature objects became part of present day museum collections. The cultural context of this analysis focuses on the idea of “home” in the U.S., with reference to cross-cultural and historical comparisons worthy of consideration. However, it is the quintessential, ideal American home, built in miniature, that reproduces symbolic meanings of gender and democracy while never losing touch of its colonial past.
Effects of isoscalar- and isovector-scalar meson mixing on neutron star structure

description: Based on the accurately calibrated interaction FSUGold, we show that including isovector scalar $δ$ meson and its coupling to isoscalar scalar $σ$ meson in the relativistic mean field (RMF) model can soften the symmetry energy $E_{\rm{sym}}(n)$ at intermediate densities while stiffen the $E_{\rm{sym}}(n)$ at high densities. We find this new RMF model can be simultaneously compatible with (1) the constraints on the equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter at suprasaturation densities from flow data in heavy-ion collisions, (2) the neutron skin thickness of $^{208}$Pb from the PREX-II experiment, (3) the largest mass of neutron star (NS) reported so far from PSR J0740+6620, (4) the limit of $Λ_{1.4}\leq580$ for the dimensionless tidal deformability of the canonical 1.4$M_{\odot}$ NS from the gravitational wave signal GW170817, (5) the mass-radius relation of PSR J0030+0451 and PSR J0740+6620 measured by NICER, and thus remove the tension between PREX-II and GW170817 observed in the conventional RMF model.

description: We present a novel prompting strategy for artificial intelligence driven digital avatars. To better quantify how our prompting strategy affects anthropomorphic features like humor, authenticity, and favorability we present Crowd Vote - an adaptation of Crowd Score that allows for judges to elect a large language model (LLM) candidate over competitors answering the same or similar prompts. To visualize the responses of our LLM, and the effectiveness of our prompting strategy we propose an end-to-end framework for creating high-fidelity artificial intelligence (AI) driven digital avatars. This pipeline effectively captures an individual's essence for interaction and our streaming algorithm delivers a high-quality digital avatar with real-time audio-video streaming from server to mobile device. Both our visualization tool, and our Crowd Vote metrics demonstrate our AI driven digital avatars have state-of-the-art humor, authenticity, and favorability outperforming all competitors and baselines. In the case of our Donald Trump and Joe Biden avatars, their authenticity and favorability are rated higher than even their real-world equivalents.

The Assessment, Management and Prevention of Calf Muscle Strain Injuries: A Qualitative Study of the Practices and Perspectives of 20 Expert Sports Clinicians

description: Background: Despite calf muscle strain injuries (CMSI) being problematic in many sports, there is a dearth of research to guide clinicians dealing with these injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current practices and perspectives of a select group of international experts regarding the assessment, management and prevention of CMSI using in-depth semi-structured interviews. Results: Twenty expert clinicians working in elite sport and/or clinician-researchers specialising in the field completed interviews. A number of key points emerged from the interviews. Characteristics of CMSI were considered unique compared to other muscle strains. Rigor in the clinical approach clarifies the diagnosis, whereas ongoing monitoring of calf capacity and responses to loading exposure provides the most accurate estimate of prognosis. Athlete intrinsic characteristics, injury factors and sport demands shaped rehabilitation across six management phases, which were guided by key principles to optimise performance at return to play (RTP) while avoiding subsequent injury or recurrence. To prevent CMSI, periodic monitoring is common, but practices vary and data are collected to inform load-management and exercise selection rather than predict future CMSI. A universal injury prevention program for CMSI may not exist. Instead, individualised strategies should reflect athlete intrinsic characteristics and sport demands. Conclusions: Information provided by experts enabled a recommended approach to clinically evaluate CMSI to be outlined, highlighting the injury characteristics considered most important for diagnosis and prognosis. Principles for optimal management after CMSI were also identified, which involved a systematic approach to rehabilitation and the RTP decision. Although CMSI were reportedly difficult to prevent, on- and off-field strategies were implemented by experts to mitigate risk, particularly in susceptible athletes.
