description: Objectives: The aim of this article is to add a decisive new element to our current knowledge on how teaching sessions in have been conducted and recorded throughout Islamic history. This is done by editing a rare document containing the 'preliminary sama's' concerning readings of the Sunan by al-Daraqutni (d. 385 AH/995 AD), the preliminary sama's for the first part of al-Nasab by Zubayr b. Bakkar (d. 256 AH/870 AD), and a list of those attending a reading of a booklet containing hadiths by Dawud b. Rashid (d. 239 AH/853 AD). The secondary aim is to reflect on the identity of the writer of these preliminary lists and on the differences between these preliminary sama's (which we call 'awraq al-sama'') and the final sama' (the 'tibaq al-sama''). Methodology: This study is based on the identification of a new 'genre' of documents ('preliminary sama's') produced in the course of teaching sessions. These documents are, in turn, philologically edited and then historically compared with other known documents produced in such sessions. A careful examination of these documentary practices allows us to understand the cultural logic of these documents. Findings: Editing and studying these new documents adds to our understanding of such teaching sessions. The article thus argues the existence of a hitherto unknown documentary genre that is clearly distinct from the final sama' and constituted an earlier stage in the documentary practices of those involved in recording the attendance in teaching sessions. Originality: The documents studied in this research have not previously been studied. Their publication thus adds entirely new primary sources to our field. More importantly, this study conceptualizes this type of document and thus significantly adds to our knowledge of teaching and learning practices throughout Islamic history.
Are “bad” jobs bad for democracy? precarious work and electoral participation in Europe

description: Introduction: While socioeconomic inequality in voting has been central for research on electoral participation, recent years have seen radical changes in labor relations. The key issue is increasing prevalence of precarious work, involving dimensions as non-indefinite tenure and limited control over work activities. While occupations traditionally were the locus of political socialization, there is scarce research connecting occupational uncertainty to electoral participation. To fill this void, we develop a framework that connects the multiple dimensions of precarious work to electoral participation. Methods: We test these ideas using data from 32 countries from the European Social Survey (2008–2018). Results and discussion: Results indicate that work precarity is both strongly connected to traditional indicators of SES and has large, independent e Results indicate that work precarity is both strongly connected to traditional indicators of SES and has large, independent effects on probability of voting. We corroborate these results with heterogeneity analyses across countries Findings show how precarious work heightens socioeconomic stratification in electoral participation, underming the universality of the right to vote and the health of democracies

description: The aim of the present study was to evaluate (i) the effects of different intensities and types of treated pain on the basal concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol, and (ii) the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test, to determine whether treated pain caused a marked increase of ACTH, which would lead to a false positive result in the diagnosis of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID). Methods: Fifteen horses with treated low to moderate pain intensities were part of the study. They served as their own controls as soon as they were pain-free again. The horses were divided into three disease groups, depending on their underlying disease (disease group 1 = colic, disease group 2 = laminitis, disease group 3 = orthopedic problems). A composite pain scale was used to evaluate the intensity of the pain. This pain scale contained a general part and specific criteria for every disease. Subsequently, ACTH and cortisol were measured before and after the intravenous application of 1 mg of TRH. Results: There was no significant difference in the basal or stimulated ACTH concentration in horses with pain and controls, between different pain intensities or between disease groups. Descriptive statistics, however, revealed that pain might decrease the effect of TRH on the secretion of ACTH. There was an increase of ACTH 30 min after TRH application (p = 0.007) in the treated pain group, but this difference could not be statistically confirmed. Measuring the basal ACTH concentration and performing the TRH stimulation test for the diagnosis of PPID seem to be possible in horses with low to moderate pain.

description: We report on deep near-infrared F125W (J) and F160W (H) Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 images of the z=6.42 quasar J1148+5251 to attempt to detect rest-frame near-ultraviolet emission from the host galaxy. These observations included contemporaneous observations of a nearby star of similar near-infrared colors to measure temporal variations in the telescope and instrument point spread function (PSF). We subtract the quasar point source using both this direct PSF and a model PSF. Using direct subtraction, we measure an upper limit for the quasar host galaxy of m_J>22.8, m_H>23.0 AB mag (2 sigma). After subtracting our best model PSF, we measure a limiting surface brightness from 0.3"-0.5" radius of mu_J > 23.5, mu_H > 23.7 AB magarc (2 sigma). We test the ability of the model subtraction method to recover the host galaxy flux by simulating host galaxies with varying integrated magnitude, effective radius, and Sérsic index, and conducting the same analysis. These models indicate that the surface brightness limit (mu_J > 23.5 AB magarc) corresponds to an integrated upper limit of m_J > 22 - 23 AB mag, consistent with the direct subtraction method. Combined with existing far-infrared observations, this gives an infrared excess log(IRX) > 1.0 and corresponding ultraviolet spectral slope beta > -1.2\pm0.2. These values match those of most local luminous infrared galaxies, but are redder than those of almost all local star-forming galaxies and z~6 Lyman break galaxies.

description: This study aimed to explore the currently competing and new semimechanistic clearance models for monoclonal antibodies and the impact of clearance model misspecification on exposure metrics under different study designs exemplified for cetuximab. Six clearance models were investigated under four different study designs (sampling density and single/multiple-dose levels) using a rich data set from two cetuximab clinical trials (226 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer) and using the nonlinear mixed-effects modeling approach. A two-compartment model with parallel Michaelis-Menten and time-decreasing linear clearance adequately described the data, the latter being related to post-treatment response. With respect to bias in exposure metrics, the simplified time-varying linear clearance (CL) model was the best alternative. Time-variance of the linear CL component should be considered for biotherapeutics if response impacts pharmacokinetics. Rich sampling at steady-state was crucial for unbiased estimation of Michaelis-Menten elimination in case of the reference (parallel Michaelis-Menten and time-varying linear CL) model.

description: Both animal and human studies on numerosity have shown the importance of the parietal cortex for numerosity processing. However, most studies have focused on the perceptual processing of numerosity. Still, it is unclear how and where numerosity information is coded when this information is retained during a working memory delay phase. Such temporal storage could be realized by the same structures as perceptual processes, or be transformed to a more abstract representation, potentially involving prefrontal regions. FMRI decoding studies allow the identification of brain areas that exhibit multi-voxel activation patterns specific to the content of working memory. Here, we used an assumption-free searchlight-decoding approach to test where numerosity-specific codes can be found during a 12 s retention period. Participants (n = 24) performed a retro-cue delayed match-to-sample task, in which numerosity information was presented as visual dot arrays. We found mnemonic numerosity-specific activation in the right lateral portion of the intraparietal sulcus; an area well-known for perceptual processing of numerosity. The applied retro-cue design dissociated working memory delay activity from perceptual processes and showed that the intraparietal sulcus also maintained working memory representation independent of perception.

Shell model analysis of competing mechanism to the double-beta decay of $^{48}$Ca

description: Background: Neutrinoless double beta decay, if observed, would reveal physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, namely it would prove that neutrinos are Majoran fermions and that the lepton number is not conserved. Purpose: The analysis of the results of neutrinoless double beta decay observations requires an accurate knowledge of several nuclear matrix elements (NME) for different mechanism that may contribute to the decay. We provide a complete analysis of these NME for the decay of the ground state (g.s.) of $^{48}$Ca to the g.s. $0^+_1$ and first excited $0^+_2$ state of $^{48}$Ti. Method: For the analysis we used the nuclear shell model with effective two-body interactions that were fine-tuned to describe the low-energy spectroscopy of $pf$-shell nuclei. We checked our model by calculating the two-neutrino transition probability to the g.s. of $^{48}$Ti. We also make predictions for the transition to the first excited $0^+_2$ state of $^{48}$Ti. Results: We present results for all NME relevant for the neutrinoless transitions to the $0^+_1$ and $0^+_2$ states, and using the lower experimental limit for the g.s. to g.s. half-life we extract upper limits for the neutrino physics parameters. Conclusions: We provide accurate NME for the two-neutrino and neutrinoless double beta decay transitions in A=48 system, which can be further used to analyze the experimental results of double beta decay experiments when they become available.
Cross-national differences in social background effects on educational attainment and achievement: absolute vs. relative inequalities and the role of education systems

description: We use PIAAC data to study the relationship between parental education and educational success among adults from 23 advanced economies. We consider educational success in terms of both educational attainment (formal qualifications) and educational achievement (competencies) and in both absolute and relative terms (i.e. as the individual’s rank in the distribution of educational success). Parental education effects are stronger for educational attainment than for achievement in all countries. Cross-national variation in the strength of social background effects follows broadly similar patterns for the different ways of measuring success, but a few countries combine relatively strong achievement with relatively weak attainment effects and vice versa. Tracking in secondary education is associated with stronger background effects for educational attainment but not for achievement. Greater prevalence of formal (non-formal) AET is associated with stronger (weaker) background effects for both attainment and achievement, while vocational orientation of upper secondary education does not matter much.

description: The motif of secret, crypto-Judaism has a history that reaches further back into the theological tradition. It no doubt structurally arises from or closely related to the epistemo-political challenges posed by the unworldliness and absolutely inner being of faith, which in the political or inter-subjective dimension immediately raises the question of evidence. The question of evidence, i.e., for the invisible faith, becomes acute in the case of conversion, where the basic premise is the initial absence of faith. Paradoxically, conversion is consequently the establishment of the convert’s fundamental faithlessness, of her originally non-Christian element, which the convert, in the very same act of conversion, claims no longer exists. It is easy to see the conceptual constellation that would present the convert as structural deception. At the Iberian threshold of modernity, in the face of mass Jewish conversion and assimilation, this paradox appeared in the image of the “new Christians”, the marranos, structurally suspected to be crypto-Jews, to the effect that the ultimate evidence of faith was a certificate of limpieza de sangre, “purity of blood”. This paper will follow the historian Yosef HayimYerushalmi in tracing the conceptual link between the Inquisition’s notion of crypto-Jews and the racialized figure of the Jew in modern anti-Semitism.

Evolving fracture patterns: columnar joints, mud cracks, and polygonal terrain

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When cracks form in a thin contracting layer, they sequentially break the layer into smaller and smaller pieces. A rectilinear crack pattern encodes information about the order of crack formation, as later cracks tend to intersect with earlier cracks at right angles. In a hexagonal pattern, in contrast, the angles between all cracks at a vertex are near 120$^\circ$. However, hexagonal crack patterns are typically only seen when a crack network opens and heals repeatedly, in a thin layer, or advances by many intermittent steps into a thick layer. Here it is shown how both types of pattern can arise from identical forces, and how a rectilinear crack pattern evolves towards a hexagonal one. Such an evolution is expected when cracks undergo many opening cycles, where the cracks in any cycle are guided by the positions of cracks in the previous cycle, but when they can slightly vary their position, and order of opening. The general features of this evolution are outlined, and compared to a review of the specific patterns of contraction cracks in dried mud, polygonal terrain, columnar joints, and eroding gypsum-sand cements

description: This study examines the demand for GIS and data science workshops at UMD Libraries by thoroughly analyzing the registration and feedback data collected from the previous two semesters. Following the introduction of user-centric data service in the summer of 2022, the GIS and Data Services center has been offering an array of workshops, such as qualitative data visualization with Tableau and NVivo, and the reintroduction of SAS. We employ this data to acquire a deeper understanding of the demographics of workshop participants and to assess the demand for each specific workshop. Consequently, we develop a dashboard that visualizes our findings, offering a comprehensive representation of user needs and preferences. The constructed dashboard displays participant demographics categorized by their highest level of education (undergraduate, graduate, or Ph.D.), the school they are affiliated with, and various other similar classifications. These results will contribute to the planning and enhancement of future workshops to better address the requirements of the UMD community. In summary, this study emphasizes the significance of employing data to guide the design and implementation of library services, particularly in the context of emerging data science and GIS technologies.

description: The Map Collection located on the fourth floor of the McKeldin Library at the University of Maryland Libraries holds over 350,000 print maps and hundreds of atlases, the majority of maps that were published by U.S. government agencies and came to the libraries through the Federal Depository Library program. The collection includes USGS Topographic maps, Soil maps, CIA, Aeronautical maps, Forest Service maps, Historical maps, and National Geographic maps, among others. Coverage includes all U.S. states, most of the U.S. territories and possessions, and some areas outside of the United States. The library's GIS and Data Service Center pioneered an effort to build a story-telling application using ArcGIS StoryMaps that will promote the print map collection and atlases in an interactive manner making the collections more visible to the campus community and beyond. As far as we know, it is one of a kind storytelling application ever built in HigherEd libraries to showcase the diversity of print map collections in an immersive fashion to experience the collection under the patron’s fingertips. The McKeldin Map Collection StoryMaps includes one collection guide and 14 categories of maps. Each category contains an introduction to the map type, some sample map displays, locations at the map collection, and some additional resources
Why do the braking indices of pulsars span a range of more than 100 millions?

description: Here we report that the observed braking indices of the 366 pulsars in the sample of Hobbs et al. range from about $-10^8$ to about $+10^8$ and are significantly correlated with their characteristic ages. Using the model of magnetic field evolution we developed previously based on the same data, we derived an analytical expression for the braking index, which agrees with all the observed statistical properties of the braking indices of the pulsars in the sample of Hobbs et al. Our model is, however, incompatible with the previous interpretation that magnetic field growth is responsible for the small values of braking indices ($<3$) observed for "baby" pulsars with characteristic ages of less than $2\times 10^3$ yr. We find that the "instantaneous" braking index of a pulsar may be different from the "averaged" braking index obtained from fitting the data over a certain time span. The close match between our model-predicted "instantaneous" braking indices and the observed "averaged" braking indices suggests that the time spans used previously are usually smaller than or comparable to their magnetic field oscillation periods. Our model can be tested with the existing data, by calculating the braking index as a function of the time span for each pulsar. In doing so, one can obtain for each pulsar all the parameters in our magnetic field evolution model, and may be able to improve the sensitivity of using pulsars to detect gravitational waves.

The metal-free heterogeneous semiconductor is fully recyclable and couples a broad range of electron-poor aryl bromides with primary and secondary alcohols as well as water. The application for intramolecular reactions and the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients was demonstrated. The catalytic protocol is applicable for the coupling of aryl iodides with thiols as well.

description: Efficient and reliable identification of emerging pathogens is crucial for the design and implementation of timely and proportionate control strategies. This is difficult if the pathogen is so far unknown or only distantly related with known pathogens. Diagnostic metagenomics – an undirected, broad and sensitive method for the efficient identification of pathogens – was frequently used for virus and bacteria detection, but seldom applied to parasite identification. Here, metagenomics datasets prepared from swine faeces using an unbiased sample processing approach with RNA serving as starting material were re-analysed with respect to parasite detection. The taxonomic identification tool RIEMS, used for initial detection, provided basic hints on potential pathogens contained in the datasets. The suspected parasites/intestinal protists (Blastocystis, Entamoeba, Iodamoeba, Neobalantidium, Tetratrichomonas) were verified using subsequently applied reference mapping analyses on the base of rRNA sequences. Nearly full-length gene sequences could be extracted from the RNA-derived datasets. In the case of Blastocystis, subtyping was possible with subtype (ST)15 discovered for the first known time in swine faeces. Using RIEMS, some of the suspected candidates turned out to be false-positives caused by the poor status of sequences in publicly available databases. Altogether, 11 different species/STs of parasites/intestinal protists were detected in 34 out of 41 datasets extracted from metagenomics data. The approach operates without any primer bias that typically hampers the analysis of amplicon-based approaches, and allows the detection and taxonomic classification including subtyping of protist and metazoan endobionts (parasites, commensals or mutualists) based on an abundant biomarker, the 18S rRNA. The generic nature of the approach also allows evaluation of interdependencies that induce mutualistic or pathogenic effects that are often not clear for many intestinal protists and perhaps other parasites. Thus, metagenomics has the potential for generic pathogen identification beyond the characterisation of viruses and bacteria when starting from RNA instead of DNA.

description: Background and Aims Small‐molecule flux in tissue microdomains is essential for organ function, but knowledge of this process is scant due to the lack of suitable methods. We developed two independent techniques that allow the quantification of advection (flow) and diffusion in individual bile canaliculi and in interlobular bile ducts of intact livers in living mice, namely fluorescence loss after photoactivation and intravital arbitrary region image correlation spectroscopy. Approach and Results The results challenge the prevailing “mechano‐osmotic” theory of canalicular bile flow. After active transport across hepatocyte membranes, bile acids are transported in the canaliculi primarily by diffusion. Only in the interlobular ducts is diffusion augmented by regulatable advection. Photoactivation of fluorescein bis‐(5‐carboxymethoxy‐2‐nitrobenzyl)‐ether in entire lobules demonstrated the establishment of diffusive gradients in the bile canalicular network and the sink function of interlobular ducts. In contrast to the bile canalicular network, vectorial transport was detected and quantified in the mesh of interlobular bile ducts. Conclusions The liver consists of a diffusion‐dominated canalicular domain, where hepatocytes secrete small molecules and generate a concentration gradient and a flow‐augmented ductular domain, where regulated water influx creates unidirectional advection that augments the diffusive flux.

description: We study the bond percolation problem under the constraint that the total number of occupied bonds is fixed, so that the canonical ensemble applies. We show via an analytical approach that at criticality, the constraint can induce new finite-size corrections with exponent y_{can}=2y_t-d both in energy-like and magnetic quantities, where y_t=1/ν is the thermal renormalization exponent and d is the spatial dimension. Furthermore, we find that while most of universal parameters remain unchanged, some universal amplitudes, like the excess cluster number, can be modified and become non-universal. We confirm these predictions by extensive Monte Carlo simulations of the two-dimensional percolation problem which has y_{can}=-1/2.

description: The urgent need for a stable, efficient, and affordable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst has led to the investigation of a vast amount of transition metal materials with multiple different anions.In situandpostcatalytic characterization shows that most materials transform during the harsh OER conditions to layered (oxy)hydroxides (LOH). Several open questions concerning thesein situformed LOH remain such as: an explanation for their strongly varying activities, or the effect of the precatalyst structure, leaching anions, and transformation conditions on the formed LOH. Herein, we report on a cobalt selenite precursor, which, depending on pH and potential, transforms irreversibly into two different LOH OER catalysts. Combining multiple electrochemical and analytical methodsexandin situ, we prove that one of these products is near-surface catalytically active and the other one throughout the bulk with anin situaverage cobalt oxidation state of 3.2. We deduce a detailed structural model explaining these differences and propose general concepts relating both the precatalyst structure and the transformation conditions to the final catalyst. Further, we apply these models to the most promising non-noble metal catalyst, NiFe LOH.

description: We explore a cosmological model composed by a dark matter fluid interacting with a dark energy fluid. The interaction term has the non-linear lambda*(rho_m)^alpha * (rho_e)^beta form, where rho_m and rho_e are the energy densities of the dark matter and dark energy, respectively. The parameters alpha and beta are in principle not constrained to take any particular values, and were estimated from observations. We perform an analytical study of the evolution equations, finding the fixed points and their stability properties in order to characterize suitable physical regions in the phase space of the dark matter and dark energy densities. The constants (lambda, alpha, beta) as well as w_m and w_e of the EoS of dark matter and dark energy respectively, were estimated using the cosmological observations of the type Ia supernovae and the Hubble expansion rate H(z) data sets. We find that the best estimated values for the free parameters of the model correspond to a warm dark matter interacting with a phantom dark energy component, with a well goodness-of-fit to data. However, using the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) we find that this model is overcame by a warm dark matter -- phantom dark energy model without interaction, as well as by the LCDM model. We find also a large dispersion on the best estimated values of the (lambda, alpha, beta) parameters, so even if we are not able to set strong constraints on their values, given the goodness-of-fit to data of the model, we find that a large variety of theirs values are well compatible with the observational data used.

description: In this study, we demonstrate the concept of "topology-matching design" for virus inhibitors. With the current knowledge of influenzaA virus (IAV), we designed a nanoparticle-based inhibitor (nano-inhibitor) that has a matched nanotopology to IAV virions and shows heteromultivalent inhibitory effects on hemagglutinin and neuraminidase. The synthesized nano-inhibitor can neutralize the viral particle extracellularly and block its attachment and entry to the host cells. The virus replication was significantly reduced by 6 orders of magnitude in the presence of the reverse designed nano-inhibitors. Even when used 24hours after the infection, more than 99.999% inhibition is still achieved, which indicates such a nano-inhibitor might be a potent antiviral for the treatment of influenza infection.

title: Legal certainty and flexibility in European private international law dealing with family matters

Year: 2023

description: The present research addresses the apparent contradiction between legal certainty and flexibility in European private international law dealing with family matters (“EU PIL dealing with family matters”). In light of the opposition that is traditionally made between the concepts of legal certainty and flexibility, it appears contradictory that flexibility is a core characteristic of EU PIL dealing with family matters when the main policy objective pursued is legal certainty. The present research shows that this is not contradictory and can even be justified. The opposition between the concepts of legal certainty and flexibility depends on the understanding that is taken of these concepts. A further examination of these concepts shows that the essence of the objective of legal certainty is to ensure that the cross-border families can rely on EU PIL rules dealing with family matters to foresee the consequences of their actions and decide how to act accordingly. Flexibility, on the other hand, is a neutral tool which is used in the pursuit of a multitude of objectives in EU PIL dealing with family matters. To be consistent with the objective of legal certainty, flexible rules therefore need to enable the parties to foresee the legal consequences of their actions. They need to be accessible, intelligible and uniformly interpreted and applied. The analysis in this research shows that almost all flexible rules in EU PIL dealing with family matters are consistent with the objective of legal certainty. This research also shows that certain flexible rules, moreover, can be particularly effective tools to provide the parties with a higher degree of legal certainty than in the absence of harmonisation. Such conclusions are not only important to overcome the traditional opposition between the concepts of legal certainty and flexibility and make sense of the current EU PIL framework dealing with family matters but they are also very important to guide the future harmonisation of this area.

description: We present a search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson in sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV p-pbar collision data collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45 fb-1. In events consistent with the decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-quark pair and the W boson to an electron or muon and a neutrino, we set 95% credibility level upper limits on the WH production cross section times the H->bb branching ratio as a function of Higgs boson mass. At a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c2 we observe (expect) a limit of 4.9 (2.8) times the standard model value.
