description: The proposal for review of the eIDAS Regulation from 2021 has opened strong expectations for a deep change in traditional identity models. The user-centric identity model proposed starts with the creation of European Digital Identity Wallets that will enable citizens’ control over their data in identification and authentication processes without control by entities providing the identification services. Likewise, with the proposed legal rules for giving legal certainty to electronic ledgers and blockchains, [eIDAS2]opens possibilities to decentralization, especially for the provision and management of user’s attributes. The implementation of qualified trust services for attestations or electronic ledgers limits decentralization by requirement of a trusted 3rd party. Standardization will be key in assuring interoperability at the EU level. What are the challenges and opportunities of eIDAS 2.0? And what are the main focuses and needs of (European) standardization? These and other questions will be analysed and discussed in the paper.

description: At the end of the year 2020, there was a steep uptrend of the cryptocurrency market. The global market capitalization of cryptocurrencies climbed from 350 billion US$ in October 2020 to almost 2.5 trillion US$ in May 2021 and reached 3 trillion US$ in November 2021. Currently, there are more than 17,600 cryptocurrencies listed on CoinMarketCap. The ample amount of money within the market attracts investors as well as scammers and hackers. Recent incidents like the BadgerDAO hack have shown how easy it is to steal cryptocurrencies. While all the standard scamming and hacking techniques such as identity theft, social engineering and web application hacking are successfully employed by attackers, new scams very specific to cryptocurrencies emerged, which are the focus of this paper.

description: Subhorizontal lake shorelines allow a geodynamic test of the size and extent of a hypothesized paleolake in central Tibet, the East Qiangtang Lake (EQL), during the last interglacial period (marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e). Reconstructions based on relict lake deposits suggest that the EQL would have been ~400 m deep and over ~66,000 km2. Models of flexural rebound driven by lake recession predict that shorelines near the EQL center, at the present-day location of Siling Co, would have rebounded 60–90 m above their initial elevation. New 36Cl chronology of the highest relict shorelines around Siling Co indicates that they reflect lake levels between 110 and 190 ka. These shorelines, however, are presently >300 m below their predicted elevations, implying a substantially smaller water load. Our results reveal that the expansion of Tibetan lakes during MIS 5e was relatively limited. Instead, individual lakes were supplied by river networks, much as they are today.

description: Small and medium sized companies (SMEs) are often insufficiently protected against cyberattacks although there is a wide range of cybersecurity guidelines, products and services availableIn this paper, we present an online tool to support SMEs in improving their IT-security level by enabling them to identify critical business processes and to identify the most pressing protection needs by using a lightweight value chain-based approach. For using the online tool, no expert knowledge of the company’s IT-infrastructure or implemented IT-security measures is required, since no assessment of cybersecurity threats but of the impact of potential damage scenarios on business processes is carried out. Based on a generated set of recommendations, companies are provided with suitable IT-security measures and corresponding offerings in a prioritized order. These offerings include services and products to implement the given recommendations.

description: The Yabrai range-front fault accommodates deformation within the middle Gobi Alashan block between the Tibetan Plateau and the Ordos block. As such, it provides the opportunity to examine the transition between contractional deformation associated with the growth of the Tibetan Plateau and extensional deformation across North China. Geomorphic mapping of the active fault trace and trench investigations reveal that the Yabrai range-front fault is composed of three segments of varying fault strike, but for which the sense of motion, scarp height, and slip history appear to be kinematically compatible along the fault. Displaced Holocene and late Pleistocene alluvial deposits indicate that the southwestern segment is characterized by oblique-normal displacement with a minor sinistral component, whereas the middle segment appears to exhibit nearly dip-slip normal displacement. In contrast, slip along the northeastern segment appears to be primarily sinistral strike-slip with a minor reverse component. Geomorphically fresh fault scarps are developed within late Pleistocene- Holocene alluvial fans and terraces along the southwestern and northeastern segments, whereas the middle segment of the fault defines the bedrock-alluvial contact along the range front. The 10Be exposure ages of displaced alluvial fans along the southwestern segment yield a throw rate of ~0.1 mm/yr over late Pleistocene time. Lateral slip rates along the northeastern fault segment range between 0.23 ± 0.02 and 0.78 ± 0.12 mm/yr. Regionally, the orientation and sense of motion along the Yabrai range-front fault are consistent with NE-SW shortening, and we suggest that recent activity along this fault system reflects incipient deformation of the foreland at the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau.

description: Recently, the 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS) method has achieved great success in novel view synthesis, providing real-time rendering while ensuring high-quality rendering results. However, this method faces challenges in modeling specular reflections and handling anisotropic appearance components, especially in dealing with view-dependent color under complex lighting conditions. Additionally, 3D-GS uses spherical harmonic to learn the color representation, which has limited ability to represent complex scenes. To overcome these challenges, we introduce Lantent-SpecGS, an approach that utilizes a universal latent neural descriptor within each 3D Gaussian. This enables a more effective representation of 3D feature fields, including appearance and geometry. Moreover, two parallel CNNs are designed to decoder the splatting feature maps into diffuse color and specular color separately. A mask that depends on the viewpoint is learned to merge these two colors, resulting in the final rendered image. Experimental results demonstrate that our method obtains competitive performance in novel view synthesis and extends the ability of 3D-GS to handle intricate scenarios with specular reflections.

description: We develop methods for detector learning which exploit joint training over both weak and strong labels and which transfer learned perceptual representations from strongly-labeled auxiliary tasks. Previous methods for weak-label learning often learn detector models independently using latent variable optimization, but fail to share deep representation knowledge across classes and usually require strong initialization. Other previous methods transfer deep representations from domains with strong labels to those with only weak labels, but do not optimize over individual latent boxes, and thus may miss specific salient structures for a particular category. We propose a model that subsumes these previous approaches, and simultaneously trains a representation and detectors for categories with either weak or strong labels present. We provide a novel formulation of a joint multiple instance learning method that includes examples from classification-style data when available, and also performs domain transfer learning to improve the underlying detector representation. Our model outperforms known methods on ImageNet-200 detection with weak labels.

description: The group-IV monochalcogenides SnS, GeS, SnSe and GeSe form a family within the wider group of semiconductor `phosphorene analogues'. Here, we used first principles calculations to investigate systematically their structural, electronic and optical properties, analysing the changes associated with the reduction of dimensionality, from bulk to monolayer or bilayer form. We show that all those binary phosphorene analogues are semiconducting, with bandgap energies covering part of the infra-red and visible range, and in most cases higher than phosphorene. Further, we found that they have multiple valleys in the valence and conduction band, with spin-orbit splitting of the order of 19-86 meV.

description: In the eastern Qilian Shan, a flight of fluvial terraces developed along the Jinta River valley are deformed across the Nanying anticline. Four individual fluvial terraces are preserved at different elevations above the river, and higher terrace treads are draped by systematically thicker aeolian loess. Optically stimulated luminescence dating of deposits at the base of the loess provides constraints on the timing of surface abandonment; terraces were abandoned at 69 ± 4 ka B.P. (T4), 57 ± 4 ka B.P. (T3), and between 34 ± 3 ka B.P. (T2), respectively. Differential GPS measurement of the terrace profile across the anticline allows reconstruction of subsurface fault geometry; we model terrace deformation above a listric thrust fault with a tip line at 2.2 ± 0.1 km depth and whose dip shallows systematically to 23 ± 3° at depth of 5.8 ± 1.1 km. Combining terrace ages with this model of fault geometry, we estimate a shortening rate of 0.8 ± 0.2 mm/a across the Nanying fold and a shortening rate of ∼0.1 mm/a across the mountain front fault since ∼70 ka B.P. This rate suggests that the frontal fault system along the eastern Qilian Shan accomplishes crustal shortening at rates of approximately 0.9 ± 0.3 mm/a during late Pleistocene time.

description: The Mars Perseverance Rover represents a generational change in the scale of measurements that can be taken on Mars, however this increased resolution introduces new challenges for techniques in exploratory data analysis. The multiple different instruments on the rover each measures specific properties of interest to scientists, so analyzing how underlying phenomena affect multiple different instruments together is important to understand the full picture. However each instrument has a unique resolution, making the mapping between overlapping layers of data non-trivial. In this work, we introduce Nested Fusion, a method to combine arbitrarily layered datasets of different resolutions and produce a latent distribution at the highest possible resolution, encoding complex interrelationships between different measurements and scales. Our method is efficient for large datasets, can perform inference even on unseen data, and outperforms existing methods of dimensionality reduction and latent analysis on real-world Mars rover data. We have deployed our method Nested Fusion within a Mars science team at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and through multiple rounds of participatory design enabled greatly enhanced exploratory analysis workflows for real scientists. To ensure the reproducibility of our work we have open sourced our code on GitHub at https://github.com/pixlise/NestedFusion.

description: This Article examines the genesis and context of SE4All, placing the effort within both itshistorical and international policy contexts. It highlights the voluntary nature of the initiative andargues that its effective implementation and the achievement of its goals require the articulation ofan applicable international legal framework that aids the transformation of SE4All’s policy actionsinto binding international legal commitments. The article contends that such a transformation doesnot depend on the creation of entirely new legal rules or institutions. Instead, an effective frame-work for successful implementation of SE4All can be derived from existing rules of internationalhuman rights law and sustainable development law. Reliance on these twin bodies of interna-tional law will increase the prospects for SE4All to achieve energy access and related goals thatits predecessor initiatives have failed to accomplish

description: We present ALMA Cycle-0 observations of the CO (6-5) line emission and of the 435um dust continuum emission in the central kpc of NGC 1614, a local luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) at a distance of 67.8 Mpc (1 arcsec = 329 pc). The CO emission is well resolved by the ALMA beam (0".26 x 0".20) into a circum-nuclear ring, with an integrated flux of f_{CO(6-5)} = 898 (+-153) Jy km/s, which is 63(+-12)% of the total CO(6-5) flux measured by Herschel. The molecular ring, located between 100pc < r < 350pc from the nucleus, looks clumpy and includes seven unresolved (or marginally resolved) knots with median velocity dispersion of 40 km/s. These knots are associated with strong star formation regions with Σ_{SFR} 100 M_\sun/yr/kpc^{2} and Σ_{Gas} 1.0E4 M_\sun/pc^{2}. The non-detections of the nucleus in both the CO (6-5) line emission and the 435um continuum rule out, with relatively high confidence, a Compton-thick AGN in NGC 1614. Comparisons with radio continuum emission show a strong deviation from an expected local correlation between Σ_{Gas} and Σ_{SFR}, indicating a breakdown of the Kennicutt-Schmidt law on the linear scale of 100 pc.

description: The northeastern Tibetan Plateau constitutes a transitional region between the lowrelief physiographic plateau to the south and the high-relief ranges of the Qilian Shan to the north. Cenozoic deformation across this margin of the plateau is associated with localized growth of fault-cored mountain ranges and associated basins. Herein, we combine detailed structural analysis of the geometry of range-bounding faults and deformation of foreland basin strata with geomorphic and exhumational records of erosion in hangingwall ranges in order to investigate the magnitude, timing, and style of deformation along the two primary fault systems, the Qinghai Nan Shan and the Gonghe Nan Shan. Structural mapping shows that both ranges have developed above imbricate fans of listric thrust faults, which sole into décollements in the middle crust. Restoration of shortening along balanced cross sections suggests a minimum of 0.8-2.2 km and 5.1-6.9 km of shortening, respectively. Growth strata in the associated foreland basin record the onset of deformation on the two fault systems at ca. 6-10 Ma and ca. 7-10 Ma, respectively, and thus our analysis suggests late Cenozoic shortening rates of 0.2 +0.2/-0.1 km/m.y. and 0.7 +0.3/-0.2 km/m.y. along the north and south sides of Gonghe Basin. Along the Qinghai Nan Shan, these rates are similar to late Pleistocene slip rates of ~0.10 ± 0.04 mm/yr, derived from restoration and dating of a deformed alluvial-fan surface. Collectively, our results imply that deformation along both flanks of the doubly vergent Qilian Shan-Nan Shan initiated by ca. 10 Ma and that subsequent shortening has been relatively steady since that time.

description: The tight confinement of the evanescent light field around the waist of an optical nanofiber makes it a suitable tool for studying nonlinear optics in atomic media. Here, we use an optical nanofiber embedded in a cloud of laser-cooled 87Rb for near-infrared frequency upconversion via a resonant two-photon process. Sub-nW powers of the two-photon beams, at 780 nm and 776 nm, co-propagate through the optical nanofiber and generation of 420 nm photons is observed. A measurement of the Autler-Townes splitting provides a direct measurement of the Rabi frequency of the 780 nm transition. Through this method, dephasings of the system can be studied. In this work, the optical nanofiber is used as an excitation and detection tool simultaneously, and it highlights some of the advantages of using fully fibered systems for nonlinear optics with atoms.

description: Sparse retrieval methods like BM25 are based on lexical overlap, focusing on the surface form of the terms that appear in the query and the document. The use of inverted indices in these methods leads to high retrieval efficiency. On the other hand, dense retrieval methods are based on learned dense vectors and, consequently, are effective but comparatively slow. Since sparse and dense methods approach problems differently and use complementary relevance signals, approximation methods were proposed to balance effectiveness and efficiency. For efficiency, approximation methods like HNSW are frequently used to approximate exhaustive dense retrieval. However, approximation techniques still exhibit considerably higher latency than sparse approaches. We propose LexBoost that first builds a network of dense neighbors (a corpus graph) using a dense retrieval approach while indexing. Then, during retrieval, we consider both a document's lexical relevance scores and its neighbors' scores to rank the documents. In LexBoost this remarkably simple application of the Cluster Hypothesis contributes to stronger ranking effectiveness while contributing little computational overhead (since the corpus graph is constructed offline). The method is robust across the number of neighbors considered, various fusion parameters for determining the scores, and different dataset construction methods. We also show that re-ranking on top of LexBoost outperforms traditional dense re-ranking and leads to results comparable with higher-latency exhaustive dense retrieval.

description: Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is an approach based on asymmetric cryptography and on decentralized, user-controlled exchange of signed assertions. Most SSI implementations are not based on hierarchic certification schemas, but rather on the peer-to-peer and distributed “web of trust” without root or intermediate CAs. As SSI is a nascent technology, the adoption of vendor-independent SSI standards into existing software landscapes is at an early stage. Conventional enterprise-grade IAM implementations and cloud-based Identity Providers rely on widely established pre-SSI standards, and both will not be replaced by SSI offerings in the next few years. The contribution of this paper is an analysis of patterns and products to bridge unmodified pre-SSI applications and conventional IAM with SSI implementations. Our analysis covers 40+ SSI implementations and major authentication protocols such as OpenID Connect and LDAP.

description: In the absence of gravity, one can prove that tunnelling instantons exhibit exactly one negative mode in their spectrum of fluctuations. It is precisely the existence of this tunnelling negative mode that warrants an interpretation of these solutions as mediating the decay of a metastable vacuum. In the presence of gravity the situation is much more subtle, not least because of diffeomorphism invariance. New complications arise here: in particular, the kinetic term of the fluctuations can change sign somewhere along the instanton. We show that in this case the mode functions remain non-singular, and the tunnelling negative mode continues to exist. Moreover, the eigenvalues vary continuously when the potential is varied such that the kinetic term of the fluctuations switches sign. However, the negative kinetic term implies the additional existence of an infinite tower of negative modes, whose significance and interpretation remain elusive.

description: Ce rapport publié par le Réseau action climat Canada vise à évaluer la juste part du Québec dans la réponse mondiale à l'enjeu des changements climatiques, en commençant par la reconnaître que l'équité est un principe important - nécessaire - pour répondre aux changements climatiques. Le rapport se concentre sur l'atténuation, bien qu'une approche équitable à l'adaptation, les pertes et dommages, la transition juste et ainsi de suite soient tout aussi importants. Le rapport utilise un cadre de référence flexible et transparent pour un partage équitable de l'effort qui est tiré directement des principes clés de la Convention cadre des Nations Unies pour les changements climatiques (CCNUCC). L'analyse est effectuée en utilisant la Climate Equity Reference Calculator, un outil et une base de données en ligne qui permet aux utilisateurs de sélectionner des réglages spécifiques liés à l'équité en ce qui concerne la responsabilité, la capacité et d'autres paramètres clés, et d'ensuite utiliser des indicateurs quantitatifs simples et standard pour calculer les parts justes nationales de l'effort mondial d'atténuation qui en découlent. L'analyse est basée sur un spectre de sélection d'intrants alternatives informées par des considérations éthiques et empiriques qui sont discutées en plus de détails dans le rapport. Cette approche permet au rapport de contraster la cible d'atténuation du gouvernement du Québec avec sa juste part, et d'articuler ce que le Québec devrait faire en plus de ses engagements existants pour en alignement avec ses obligations morales.

description: In the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the association of high topography and low seismic velocity in the underlying mantle suggests that recent changes in lithospheric buoyancy may have been associated with surface uplift of the range. This paper examines the relationships among late Cenozoic fl uvial incision, channel steepness, and mantle velocity domains along the western slope of the northern Colorado Rockies. New 40Ar/39Ar ages on basalts capping the Tertiary Browns Park Formation range from ca. 11 to 6 Ma and provide markers from which we reconstruct incision along the White, Yampa, and Little Snake rivers. The magnitude of post-10 Ma incision varies systematically from north to south, increasing from ~ 500 m along the Little Snake River to ~1500 m along the Colorado River. Spatial variations in the amount of late Cenozoic incision are matched by metrics of channel steepness; the upper Colorado River and its tributaries (e.g., Gunnison and Dolores rivers) are two to three times steeper than the Yampa and White rivers, and these variations are independent of both discharge and lithologic substrate. The coincidence of steep river profi les with deep incision suggests that the fl uvial systems are dynamically adjusting to an external forcing but is not readily explained by a putative increase in erosivity associated with late Cenozoic climate change. Rather, channel steepness correlates with the position of the channels relative to low-velocity mantle. We suggest that the history of late Miocene-present incision and channel adjustment refl ects long-wavelength tilting across the western slope of the Rocky Mountains.

description: When modelling stock market dynamics, the price formation is often based on an equilbrium mechanism. In real stock exchanges, however, the price formation is goverend by the order book. It is thus interesting to check if the resulting stylized facts of a model with equilibrium pricing change, remain the same or, more generally, are compatible with the order book environment. We tackle this issue in the framework of a case study by embedding the Bornholdt-Kaizoji-Fujiwara spin model into the order book dynamics. To this end, we use a recently developed agent based model that realistically incorporates the order book. We find realistic stylized facts. We conclude for the studied case that equilibrium pricing is not needed and that the corresponding assumption of a "fundamental" price may be abandoned.

description: Рассмотрена задача проектирования автоматизированной системы мониторинга лабораторного оборудования перед проведением занятия в вузе. Процедура мониторинга должна осуществляться дистанционно и призвана оперативно информировать службы технической поддержки в случае отклонения измеренных параметров от требуемых величин, указанных в нормативно-технической документации. Кроме того, необходимо осуществлять контроль состояния самого помещения (температура воздуха, напряжение в электрической сети, отсутствие протечек систем водоснабжения и отопления). Для реализации данного проекта использовались методы алгоритмизации и программирования контроллеров. Проведен предварительный этап Е-сетевого моделирования рассматриваемой системы с целью имитации процессов отказа лабораторного оборудования. Представлены результаты проектирования системы: функциональная схема системы мониторинга оборудования, программное обеспечение для контроллера ПЛК200, разработанное в инструментальной среде CoDeSys. Указаны возможные пути дальнейшей работы в рамках рассматриваемой задачи.
description: The article considers the problem of designing an automated system for monitoring laboratory equipment prior to classes at a higher educational institution. The monitoring must be carried out remotely and promptly inform the technical support services should there be found deviations of the measured parameters from the required values specified in the regulatory and technical documentation. In addition to that, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the room itself (air temperature, voltage in the electrical network, no water and heat supply systems leakage). Methods of algorithmization and programming of controllers are used to implement the design. Simulation of laboratory equipment failure is carried out via preliminary stage of E-network modeling of the system. The results of the system design include the functional diagram of the equipment monitoring system and the software for the PLC200 controller developed in the CoDeSys tool environment. The study proposes possible ways for further research on the problem in question.
title:  After the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive: How EU Members States Are Expected to Implement AML/FT Regulations

description: The present paper aims at examining the major innovations introduced by the Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive, adopted by the European Parliament on 19th April 2018. Money laundering represents one of the most serious criminal phenomena and it is a major factor of contamination for the global economy, as it alters both the features of competition and the correct distribution of resources.  In this context, the globalization of financial activity and the development of new technologies paved the way for a more sophisticated form of organized crime, which can now operate mainly by using anonymous instruments or hiding the identities of its members behind a front company. Therefore, appropriate measures have been established to contrast these illegal activities: indeed, now more than ever an effective international cooperation is required, based on mutual judicial assistance and common rules.

Il presente documento mira a esaminare le principali innovazioni introdotte dalla Quinta direttiva antiriciclaggio, adottata dal Parlamento europeo il 19 aprile 2018. Il riciclaggio di denaro rappresenta uno dei fenomeni criminali più gravi ed è un importante fattore di contaminazione per il mondo economia, poiché altera sia le caratteristiche della concorrenza sia la corretta distribuzione delle risorse. In questo contesto, la globalizzazione dell'attività finanziaria e lo sviluppo di nuove tecnologie hanno spianato la strada a una forma più sofisticata di criminalità organizzata, che ora può operare principalmente utilizzando strumenti anonimi o nascondendo le identità dei suoi membri dietro una società di copertura. Pertanto, sono state stabilite misure appropriate per contrastare queste attività illegali: in effetti, ora più che mai è necessaria un'efficace cooperazione internazionale, basata sull'assistenza giudiziaria reciproca e norme comuni.

description: This thesis explores how leaders' exploitative behavior influences employee perception of their organizations and impact on employee performance. It reviews past studies on exploitative leadership, clarifies the concept, and suggests future research directions. The empirical findings show that when leaders exploit their employees, employees see the whole organization as exploitative, especially if they feel the leader represents the organization. It then examines how these perceptions affect job performance, showing that feeling exploited by the organization lowers both task and extra performance efforts at work due to reduced obligation. However, it also increases self-interest, improving task performance but harming extra efforts.

description: The present paper aims at analyzing the effects of the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) after the Brexit. In this context, it is necessary to examine the EAW in the European framework and its adoption by the United Kingdom. Over time, the EAW became more used in practice. However, the principles on which the EAW is based, namely that of mutual trust built on the respect of fundamental rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the free movement of people and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice, were put at stake by several countries. The future itself of the EAW is at an impasse due to the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. Thus, the paper tries to assess the possible scenario after the transition period and the future cooperation between the EU and the UK in the field of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters.

Il presente documento mira ad analizzare gli effetti del mandato d'arresto europeo (MAE) dopo la Brexit. In questo contesto, è necessario esaminare il mandato d'arresto europeo nel quadro europeo e la sua adozione da parte del Regno Unito. Nel tempo, il MAE è diventato più utilizzato nella pratica. Però, i principi su cui si basa il MAE, vale a dire quello della fiducia reciproca fondata sul rispetto i diritti fondamentali sanciti dalla Carta dei diritti fondamentali, la libera circolazione delle persone e la giurisdizione della Corte di giustizia europea, sono state messe in gioco da diversi paesi. Il il futuro stesso del MAE è in un vicolo cieco a causa del ritiro del Regno Unito dall'UE. Quindi, il il documento cerca di valutare il possibile scenario dopo il periodo di transizione e la futura cooperazione tra l'UE e il Regno Unito nel campo della cooperazione giudiziaria e di polizia in materia penale.

description: Media bias may often affect individuals’ opinions on reported topics.Many existing methods that aim to identify such bias forms em-ploy individual, specialized techniques and focus only on Englishtexts. We propose to combine the state-of-the-art in order to furtherimprove the performance in bias identification. Our prototype con-sists of three analysis components to identify media bias words inGerman news articles. We use an IDF-based component, a compo-nent utilizing a topic-dependent bias dictionary created using wordembeddings, and an extensive dictionary of German emotionalterms compiled from multiple sources. Finally, we discuss two notyet implemented analysis components that use machine learningand network analysis to identify media bias. All dictionary-basedanalysis components are experimentally extended with the use ofgeneral word embeddings. We also show the results of a user study
