description: During hazardous events such as fires, reports of injuries, damage to facilities, building evacuations, and road closures are commonly shared by the public on social media. Examining these crowdsourced observations can build situational awareness for emergency response agencies and identify themes/questions trending in the affected area, improving crisis communication. This post-event case study explores Twitter images and text following the 2019 New Zealand International Event Centre fire. Geolocated photos were used to estimate the spread of smoke and impacted areas, with thematic analysis of tweet text completed manually and using topic model algorithms.

subject: OTHER CROSS-CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES or RESEARCH (Environmental, social and economic impacts)

description: The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has engaged PPA Energy to provide consultancy support to gain insight into the operational expenditure (opex) of energy networks, including four energy vectors; electricity, gas, heat and hydrogen. This project builds on a previous project undertaken by PPA Energy, ‘Opex Framework for Energy Infrastructure’, in which an understanding of the opex costs associated with the energy infrastructure was developed.The intention of this project is to understand and document the factors which affect, or may affect, the opex costs of an energy network, and to investigate how these might be modelled. Specifically, this project concentrates on the components of network opex that are directly related to the network assets themselves, known within this report as ‘Network Related Opex’, which includes direct opex, closely associated indirect opex, and the components of pass through opex that are considered to be related to the network assets themselves, but does not include depreciation or business support costs

description: Recently for the sine-Gordon equation it has been established that during collisions of $N$ slow kinks maximal energy density increases as $N^2$. In this numerical study, the same scaling rule is established for the non-integrable $ϕ^4$ model for $N\le 5$. For odd (even) $N$ the maximal energy density is in the form of potential (kinetic) energy density. Maximal elastic strain is also calculated. In addition, the effect of the kink's internal modes on the maximal energy density is analysed for $N=1, 2, 3$. Our results suggest that in multi-soliton collisions very high energy density can be achieved in a controllable manner.

description: The prevalence of extrajudicial killings-related themes and films was created due to the war on drugs campaign under the regime of President Rodrigo Duterte, which raised the extrajudicial killings as one of the societal issues in the Philippines that significantly impacted the industry of Philippine cinema. This study analyzed the representation of extrajudicial killings (EJK) through the mise-en-scenes: aesthetics and configuration, and the common themes of the respective genres of the selected extrajudicial killings related films: Buybust (2018), Respeto (2017), and Neomanila (2017). The EJK-related films were selected due to their classification and categorization as narrative films and exposure to the 17th New York Asian Film Festival. The objectives of this study are the following: (1) to identify the representation and the common themes used by EJK under the film genres of the selected EJK-related films, (2) to analyze the mise-en-scenes: aesthetics and configuration used in the genres of the EJK-related films, (3) and to have an understanding that some of the EJK-related films can be the representation for the voiceless. This study used comparative contextual analysis to determine the filmmakers' creativity by analyzing the following genres: war and society, drama, action, and crime and thriller in terms of the selected films. The results of the EJK in the films were represented by their configuration: genre conventions, aesthetics: cinematic techniques, and common themes. (1) Configuration: the genre conventions of the films similarly fall under the genre of society and war, drama, and crime and thriller which are similar in the portrayal of the catalyst, and avatars in the EJK-related films. (2) Aesthetics: cinematic techniques are only a component of a film, but not all of them can depict real events since they simply provide a filter of roles and materials used. (3) Common themes: structural inequality, competition, and war. The study remains linked to the researchers' discipline since it centers around the profession of academics in the field of art and media as this study establishes its effectiveness in the broader public, particularly in the film industry.

description: Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), a major tomato pathogen, is aphid-vectored in the non-persistent manner. We investigated if CMV-induced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other virus-induced cues alter aphid-tomato interactions. Y-tube olfactometry showed that VOCs emitted by plants infected with CMV (strain Fny) attracted generalist (Myzus persicae) and Solanaceae specialist (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) aphids. Myzus persicae preferred settling on infected plants (3 days post-inoculation: dpi) at 1h post-release, but at 9 and 21 dpi, aphids preferentially settled on mock-inoculated plants. Macrosiphum euphorbiae showed no strong preference for mock-inoculated versus infected plants at 3 dpi but settled preferentially on mock-inoculated plants at 9 and 21 dpi. In darkness aphids showed no settling or migration bias towards either mock-inoculated or infected plants. However, tomato VOC blends differed in light and darkness, suggesting aphids respond to a complex mix of olfactory, visual, and other cues influenced by infection. The LS-CMV strain induced no changes in aphid-plant interactions. Experiments using inter-strain recombinant and pseudorecombinant viruses showed that the Fny-CMV 2a and 2b proteins modified tomato interactions with Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Myzus persicae, respectively. The defence signal salicylic acid prevents excessive CMV-induced damage to tomato plants but is not involved in CMV-induced changes in aphid-plant interactions.

description: In patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, the brain is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal system, leading to dyshomeostasis of the basal ganglia network activity that is linked to motility dysfunction. PD mostly arises as an age-associated sporadic disease, but several genetic forms also exist. Compelling evidence supports that synaptic damage and dysfunction characterize the very early phases of either sporadic or genetic forms of PD and that this early PD synaptopathy drives retrograde terminal-to-cell body degeneration, culminating in neuronal loss. The Ras-associated binding protein (Rab) family of small GTPases, which is involved in the maintenance of neuronal vesicular trafficking, synaptic architecture and function in the central nervous system, has recently emerged among the major players in PD synaptopathy. In this manuscript, we provide an overview of the main findings supporting the involvement of Rabs in either sporadic or genetic PD pathophysiology, and we highlight how Rab alterations participate in the onset of early synaptic damage and dysfunction.

description: In the cultural context of low achievement in Arab Israeli schools, this work-based study describes and evaluates a successful counselling intervention in one Israeli Arab elementary school. The intervention took place over six months and involved twenty activities. A mixed methods approach was adopted to evaluate the intervention. The use of both qualitative and quantitative methods provided an informative evaluation of the perceptions of students, teachers and parents about the effectiveness of the intervention. Students, parents and teachers reported that from their point of view, student behaviour, student/teacher/parent relationships and learning improved during the intervention. This positive analysis of perceptions was qualified by the possibility that other factors that were not analysed might be influential. The lessons learned from the intervention, such as the need for creating a teacher – parent strategic alliance, renouncing the use of aversive control and the adaptation of teaching styles to student learning styles, may prove to be a transformative approach to the education of Arab Israeli students.

description: An expanse of research literature has confirmed that a significant percentage of women are concerned about their body size and appearance. Western cultures have emphasized that women must look good to be worthy. Media attention that alludes to the benefits of a thin, fit body exacerbates women's beliefs that they need to look a certain way to be acceptable and to fit in. How though, can the majority of women fit into a world of contrary ideals? Being strong and healthy does not absolutely mean a woman has to be model thin with conspicuous abdominal muscles and extreme body definition. In the field of art therapy, there has been no specific research to demonstrate the advantages of clay for the exploration of body-image, male or female. The research undertaken focuses on and evaluates the manner and methods in which clay can be employed as an enabling material for body-image issues with women within art therapy practice. With the help of small groups of female participants who were invited to attend sessions in my pottery to make their body-images from clay and join in discussion, I was able to explore within a safe and contained environment the ways in which clay can be utilised within an art therapy setting. None of the women who took part in the research had a diagnosis relating to body-image issues. By pursuing the methods of Participatory Action Research (PAR) for Study One I employed the fundamental features of Cycles of Reflection. The results of Study One assisted me in choosing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to further the research. In this way, I would be able to identify the most robust of themes within the dialogues of the three women who attended the individual sessions that comprised Study Two. The final results of the research point to a positive and contained means of working with clients and patients in order to provide a significant resource to help women explore and be more accepting of their bodies.

description: An increasing number of large-scale multi-modal research initiatives has been conducted in the typically developing population, e.g. Dev. Cogn. Neur. 32:43-54, 2018; PLoS Med. 12(3):e1001779, 2015; Elam and Van Essen, Enc. Comp. Neur., 2013, as well as in psychiatric cohorts, e.g. Trans. Psych. 10(1):100, 2020; Mol. Psych. 19:659-667, 2014; Mol. Aut. 8:24, 2017; Eur. Child and Adol. Psych. 24(3):265-281, 2015. Missing data is a common problem in such datasets due to the difficulty of assessing multiple measures on a large number of participants. The consequences of missing data accumulate when researchers aim to integrate relationships across multiple measures. Here we aim to evaluate different imputation strategies to fill in missing values in clinical data from a large (total N = 764) and deeply phenotyped (i.e. range of clinical and cognitive instruments administered) sample of N = 453 autistic individuals and N = 311 control individuals recruited as part of the EU-AIMS Longitudinal European Autism Project (LEAP) consortium. In particular, we consider a total of 160 clinical measures divided in 15 overlapping subsets of participants. We use two simple but common univariate strategies-mean and median imputation-as well as a Round Robin regression approach involving four independent multivariate regression models including Bayesian Ridge regression, as well as several non-linear models: Decision Trees (Extra Trees., and Nearest Neighbours regression. We evaluate the models using the traditional mean square error towards removed available data, and also consider the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the observed and the imputed distributions. We show that all of the multivariate approaches tested provide a substantial improvement compared to typical univariate approaches. Further, our analyses reveal that across all 15 data-subsets tested, an Extra Trees regression approach provided the best global results. This not only allows the selection of a unique model to impute missing data for the LEAP project and delivers a fixed set of imputed clinical data to be used by researchers working with the LEAP dataset in the future, but provides more general guidelines for data imputation in large scale epidemiological studies.

description: This Ph.D. thesis introduces a novel dynamic resource allocation framework tailored for Edge Computing (EC) in Internet of Things (IoT) networks, addressing the pressing challenges posed by resource limitations and escalating user demands. Edge-driven IoT networks, characterized by their reliance on locally available computational resources from a heterogeneous ensemble of devices such as sensors, vehicles, and mobile phones, present unique challenges. These resources, in contrast to their cloud counterparts, exhibit inherent variability in terms of processing power, distribution, and operating system diversity. Moreover, their connectivity is subject to fluctuations, including failures, intermittent connections, and unpredictable network entry and exit events, rendering the EC network inherently dynamic. The inadequacy of existing solutions to effectively manage the dynamic nature of resource availability at the edge underscores the necessity for a resource allocation framework capable of adapting to these dynamic conditions. To this end, we propose a dynamic resource allocation framework that dynamically assigns computational and network resources. This framework aims to minimize average service delays and achieve resource utilization balance at the edge. To realize this objective, two resource allocation models are developed using TensorFlow: a classification-based approach and a regression-based approach. Experimental results in dynamic environments demonstrate remarkable performance improvements, with the regression model achieving an 87% task completion rate within specified time constraints and the classification model achieving 56%. To underscore the practicality and efficiency of our proposed framework, two real-world use cases are explored. The first use case deals with the detection of spoofing attacks in autonomous vehicles (AVs) using Shadow Analyzer, a technique that identifies ghost object attacks with reduced 2D data derived from 3D point cloud information. The second use case focuses on the implementation of homomorphic encryption for secure communication, presenting a novel distributed approach to Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE)-based data processing. To validate the applicability and efficiency of our framework, extensive simulation experiments are conducted across various scenarios and operational conditions on a hardware testbed. These experiments yield promising results, establishing the viability of our dynamic resource allocation framework in addressing the dynamic challenges posed by resource availability at the edge in IoT networks.

description: That finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras over the complex numbers can be classified by means of purely combinatorial and geometric objects such as Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams and indecomposable irreducible root systems, is arguably one of the most elegant results in mathematics. The definition of the root system is done by fixing a Cartan subalgebra of the given Lie algebra. The remarkable fact is that (up to isomorphism) this construction is independent of the choice of the Cartan subalgebra. The modern way of establishing this fact is by showing that all Cartan subalgebras are conjugate. For symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebras, with the appropriate definition of Cartan subalgebra, conjugacy has been established by Peterson and Kac. An immediate consequence of this result is that the root systems and generalized Cartan matrices are invariants of the Kac-Moody Lie algebras. The purpose of this paper is to establish conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras for extended affine Lie algebras; a natural class of Lie algebras that generalizes the finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra and affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras.

description: BACKGROUND: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the top aetiologic agents of diarrhea in children under the age of 5 in low-middle income countries (LMICs). The lack of point of care diagnostic tools for routine ETEC diagnosis results in limited data regarding the actual burden and epidemiology in the endemic areas. We evaluated performance of the novel Rapid LAMP based Diagnostic Test (RLDT) for detection of ETEC in stool as a point of care diagnostic assay in a resource-limited setting. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 324 randomly selected stool samples from children under 5 presenting with moderate to severe diarrhea (MSD). The samples were collected between November 2012 to September 2013 at selected health facilities in Zambia. The RLDT was evaluated by targeting three ETEC toxin genes [heat labile toxin (LT) and heat stable toxins (STh and STp)]. Quantitative PCR was used as the "gold standard" to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of RLDT for detection of ETEC. We additionally described the prevalence and seasonality of ETEC. RESULTS: The study included 324 participants, 50.6% of which were female. The overall prevalence of ETEC was 19.8% by qPCR and 19.4% by RLDT. The children between 12 to 59 months had the highest prevalence of 22%. The study determined ETEC toxin distribution was LT 28/321(9%), ST 18/321(6%) and LT/ST 16/321(5%). The sensitivity and specificity of the RLDT compared to qPCR using a Ct 35 as the cut-off, were 90.7% and 97.5% for LT, 85.2% and 99.3% for STh and 100% and 99.7% for STp, respectively. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that RLDT is sufficiently sensitive and specific and easy to implement in the endemic countries. Being rapid and simple, the RLDT also presents as an attractive tool for point-of-care testing at the health facilities and laboratories in the resource-limited settings.

description: We use large-scale computer simulations to explore the non-equilibrium aging dynamics in a microscopic model for colloidal gels. We find that gelation resulting from a kinetically-arrested phase separation is accompanied by `anomalous' particle dynamics revealed by superdiffusive particle motion and compressed exponential relaxation of time correlation functions. Spatio-temporal analysis of the dynamics reveals intermittent heterogeneities producing spatial correlations over extremely large length scales. Our study is the first microscopically-resolved model reproducing all features of the spontaneous aging dynamics observed experimentally in soft materials.

The qualitative data collection methods and sources used were structured interviews, a Delphi survey, documents, the researcher's professional experience and a personal diary. The 16 interviewees were professional, credible, trustworthy and expert people in their field. Seven (7) experts in the field made up the Delphi panel. The research met all of its goals and objectives of the study questions: What is the legal status of Sulha in Israeli criminal law? How can the Sulha be incorporated in Israeli criminal law, and what contribution would Sulha make in this respect? What action is required for Sulha to be incorporated in Israeli criminal law? The findings showed that criminal statutory laws, Israeli courts, and parole committees do not recognize the Sulha as an alternative conflict settlement venue in criminal cases. The findings showed that Israeli courts and parole committees have two principal approaches to the question of the legal status of the institution of Sulha in Israeli criminal law. One approach refuses to grant the institution of Sulha any binding legal status in Israeli criminal law, while according to the other approach Sulha can serve as a consideration in a person’s favor, but not as a decisive consideration, and certainly not one that binds the courts or parole committees. The findings showed that it would be possible to enhance the Israeli criminal law by incorporating the Sulha within the criminal law. Incorporation of the Sulha in the Israeli criminal law would enhance and improve the Israeli criminal law by achieving speedy justice, by reducing the caseload of the courts, by increasing public confidence in the criminal process and the judicial activity, by reducing the frequency of erroneous judgments, by achieving restorative justice, by promoting reconciliation and by facilitating the achievement of peace between the parties affected by the criminal act. Further, the Sulha could contribute greatly to reconciliation and to the installment of peace in Israeli society and achieves restorative justice. A bill (law draft) has been prepared for the incorporation of the Sulha in the criminal law in Israel. The researcher is convinced that the Knesset (lsraeli Parlament) will approve it as soon as possible.

description: We establish a relation between the Sprague-Grundy function $\text{sg}$ of a $p$-saturation of Welter's game and the degrees of the ordinary irreducible representations of symmetric groups. In this game, a position can be viewed as a partition $λ$. Let $ρ^λ$ be the irreducible representation of $\text{Sym}(|λ|)$ indexed by $λ$. For every prime $p$, we show the following results: (1) the degree of $ρ^λ$ is prime to $p$ if and only if $\text{sg}(λ) = |λ|$; (2) the restriction of $ρ^λ$ to $\text{Sym}(\text{sg}(λ))$ has an irreducible component with degree prime to $p$. Further, for every integer $p$ greater than 1, we obtain an explicit formula for $\text{sg}(λ)$.

description: The lymphocyte genome is prone to many threats, including programmed mutation during differentiation1, antigen-driven proliferation and residency in diverse microenvironments. Here, after developing protocols for expansion of single-cell lymphocyte cultures, we sequenced whole genomes from 717 normal naive and memory B and T cells and haematopoietic stem cells. All lymphocyte subsets carried more point mutations and structural variants than haematopoietic stem cells, with higher burdens in memory cells than in naive cells, and with T cells accumulating mutations at a higher rate throughout life. Off-target effects of immunological diversification accounted for approximately half of the additional differentiation-associated mutations in lymphocytes. Memory B cells acquired, on average, 18 off-target mutations genome-wide for every on-target IGHV mutation during the germinal centre reaction. Structural variation was 16-fold higher in lymphocytes than in stem cells, with around 15% of deletions being attributable to off-target recombinase-activating gene activity. DNA damage from ultraviolet light exposure and other sporadic mutational processes generated hundreds to thousands of mutations in some memory cells. The mutation burden and signatures of normal B cells were broadly similar to those seen in many B-cell cancers, suggesting that malignant transformation of lymphocytes arises from the same mutational processes that are active across normal ontogeny. The mutational landscape of normal lymphocytes chronicles the off-target effects of programmed genome engineering during immunological diversification and the consequences of differentiation, proliferation and residency in diverse microenvironments.

description: Oral anticoagulants (OACs) should generally be continued lifelong in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to ensure optimal benefits, unless contraindications arise. However, discontinuation of OACs might occur for various reasons, potentially affecting clinical outcomes. In this review, we synthesized evidence on the clinical outcomes following OAC discontinuation in patients with AF. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed, Embase and Scopus. Cohort or case–control studies were included if data were available on clinical outcomes of OAC discontinuation, compared with continuation, in patients with AF. A random-effect meta-analyses were conducted for key outcomes of stroke, mortality, and major bleeding. Eighteen observational studies having a total of 283,418 patients were included. Discontinuation significantly increased the risk of stroke (hazard ratio [HR] 1.88; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.58–2.23), all-cause (HR 1.90; 95% CI 1.40–2.59) and cardiovascular (HR 1.83; 95% CI 1.06–3.18) mortality. The risk of major bleeding was not significantly different between the discontinued and continued groups (HR 1.04; 95% CI 0.72–1.52). Discontinuation of OAC therapy was associated with an increased risk of stroke and mortality, with no difference in the risk of major bleeding. Acknowledging heterogeneity among the studies, the findings underline the need to ensure continuity of OAC therapy in patients with AF to prevent thrombotic complications and associated mortality.

description: We present a simple generalisation of the $Λ$CDM model which on the one hand reaches very good agreement with the present day experimental data and provides an internal inflationary mechanism on the other hand. It is based on Palatini modified gravity with quadratic Starobinsky term and generalized Chaplygin gas as a matter source providing, besides a current accelerated expansion, the epoch of endogenous inflation driven by type III freeze singularity. It follows from our statistical analysis that astronomical data favors negative value of the parameter coupling quadratic term into Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian and as a consequence the bounce instead of initial Big-Bang singularity is preferred.

description: We present radiation hydrodynamic simulations of collapsing protostellar cores with initial masses of 30, 100, and 200 M$_{\odot}$. We follow their gravitational collapse and the formation of a massive protostar and protostellar accretion disk. We employ a new hybrid radiative feedback method blending raytracing techniques with flux-limited diffusion for a more accurate treatment of the temperature and radiative force. In each case, the disk that forms becomes Toomre-unstable and develops spiral arms. This occurs between 0.35 and 0.55 freefall times and is accompanied by an increase in the accretion rate by a factor of 2-10. Although the disk becomes unstable, no other stars are formed. In the case of our 100 and 200 M$_{\odot}$ simulation, the star becomes highly super-Eddington and begins to drive bipolar outflow cavities that expand outwards. These radiatively-driven bubbles appear stable, and appear to be channeling gas back onto the protostellar accretion disk. Accretion proceeds strongly through the disk. After 81.4 kyr of evolution, our 30 M$_{\odot}$ simulation shows a star with a mass of 5.48 M$_{\odot}$ and a disk of mass 3.3 M$_{\odot}$, while our 100 M$_{\odot}$ simulation forms a 28.8 M$_{\odot}$ mass star with a 15.8 M$_{\odot}$ disk over the course of 41.6 kyr, and our 200 M$_{\odot}$ simulation forms a 43.7 M$_{\odot}$ star with an 18 M$_{\odot}$ disk in 21.9 kyr. In the absence of magnetic fields or other forms of feedback, the masses of the stars in our simulation do not appear limited by their own luminosities.
