description: Leadership, innovation, and performance are essential factors to achieve the desired sustainable profitability of companies. The relationship between these variables is one of the keys to the organizational success, although their study has proved to be complex. The purpose of this article is to analyses the impact of leadership on the relationship between innovation and performance in the Portuguese hotel sector. To answer to this challenge, a survey was carried out to top and middle managers of four-star and five-star hotel units. The existence of a positive correlation between innovation and performance was found; however, leadership has not been shown to have a moderating effect on the relationship. The work highlights several important contributions to the hotel industry and identifies aspects that, when well implemented and developed, can lead to superior performance in organizations.

Production Network and Propagation of Shocks: An Empirical Study based on China Listed Firms
Creators: name: Zhang, Zijian
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Production Networks, Demand Shocks, Propagation

description: The macroeconomic shocks can propagate along the production network and cause larger macroeconomic fluctuations. This paper utilizes China listed firms data and government spending shocks from 2011 to 2018 to investigate the direction and magnitude of propagation of government spending shocks. My results at the firm level suggest that demand shocks propagate upstream and downstream simultaneously, and the position of a firm in the supply chain can affect the magnitude of this kind of amplification effect. Also, the magnitude of the downstream network effect is greater than that of the upstream.

description: We present a theory study of the physisorption of the series of methylbenzenes (toluene, xylene and mesitylene), as well as benzene, on graphene. This is relevant for the basic understanding of graphene used as a material for sensors and as an idealized model for the carbon in active carbon filters. The molecules are studied in a number of positions and orientations relative graphene, using density functional theory with the van der Waals functional vdW-DF. We focus on the vdW-DF1 and vdW-DF-cx functionals, and find that the binding energy of the molecules on graphene grows linearly with the number of methyl groups, at the rate of 0.09 eV per added methyl group.

Empirical Research on Creative Tourism: A Systematic Review

description: The empirical research on creative tourism (CT) is expanding, having already reached a considerable volume and diversity. This created the need for undertaking literature reviews, which provide an exploration of the development trajectory of this field of research. Nevertheless, there is no detailed “map” of the empirical research on CT, which provide us thorough information on various aspects that structure this field of research, such as research methods, research settings and participants, and main themes addressed in the conclusions. This systematic review aims to provide such a “map”, critically discussing it and making some recommendations for future research. Relevant publications were searched in EBSCO, Web of Science, and Science Direct electronic databases on 3rd of February 2021. All peer-reviewed articles, published since 2000, reporting empirical studies explicitly focused on CT and written in English, Portuguese and Spanish were included, among the identified publications, 60 were eligible for this review. The results of this systematic review show that empirical research on CT, despite being diversified and contributing to a better understanding of this phenomenon, still has some shortcomings that compromise its level of maturity. To reach higher levels of maturity, this research needs to overcome its excessive focus on issues related to the management of CT projects, its fixation around the initial definition of CT, as well as to break with the circumscription to urban and local settings and the scarce inclusion of artisans/artists and residents as research participants. It is also important to invest in more robust studies from a methodological point of view, which seek to carry out more complex and in-depth analyses, discuss ethical aspects more explicitly, and be more reflexive about their limitations.

description: This paper identifies the local communities' perception of ecotourism development in the Terengganu state of Malaysia. The study attempts to measure the intention and attitude on ecotourism development based on three dimensions- preservation of cultural traditions, sustainable community development, and ecotourism planning and management. Using a structured questionnaire, the study interviewed a total of 310 respondents from the local communities of two study sites in Terengganu. A purposive sampling technique based on a non-probability convenience sampling design has been adopted to identify the respondents and collect primary data. Results revealed that a significant association is sustained between the attitude and intention regarding the preservation of cultural tradition, and ecotourism planning and management dimensions. The relationship between attitude and intention in the case of sustainable community development found insignicant. Overall positive yet homogeneous attitudes and intentions by the respondents also observed in the study, which implies that the local people are supporting ecotourism development. However, proper learning and motivational activities should be initiated to increase the intention and attitude towards sustainable community development through ecotourism in the study area. Government authorities must be prepared to work closely with private enterprises in a long-term partnership for economic development. The policymakers, local authorities, and tourism stakeholders should initiate activities for ensuring sustainable ecotourism development which ensures local benefits as well as effective communities' participation in the study area.

title: Pupils’ Experiences of Authentic Voice and Participatory Practices in a Special School
Creators: name: Brett, S E
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2018

description: This qualitative study seeks to examine the experiences of pupils identified with special educational needs and disability (SEND) in a London special school, and better understand what constitutes authentic voice and participation. The research focuses on pupils labelled as having Complex Mixed Needs (CMN) who may be considered “harder to reach” (Porter, 2009, p. 349) because of their speech and communication difficulties, learning disabilities or complex health needs.
I was motivated to undertake this research by the introduction of Education, Health and Care plans (EHCp) proposed by the Children and Families Act 2014 (CFA) and the updated SEND Code of Practice (CoP) (DfE, 2015), because legislation appears to be championing inclusive practice and enabling unprecedented opportunities to ensure pupils have a say in key issues that affect them.
This research scrutinises aspects of SEND reform and contends that while new legislation enshrines pupil voice and participation in law there appears to be no coherent plan for how this is to be implemented. The concept of voice as speech is far from straightforward and I argue for a reconceptualisation of voice beyond speech. This study examines how voices are heard and if pupils’ experiences of participation correspond to the principles outlined in the EHCp process.
The methodology applied is child-focused and encompasses an action research (AR) approach. This sits well with the emancipatory principles of critical disability theory because it places the voices of pupils identified with CMN at the forefront of research. The Draw, Write and Tell (DWT) approach was utilised to access 19 pupils’ perspectives which provided rich and complex visual, written, verbal and non-verbal data.
This research has important implications for education policy and practice and makes a series of recommendations for change. It advances the debate about pupil voice and participation and establishes that a visual, child-friendly methodology can be employed to support pupils identified with CMN to have their say.

description: Here we present a simple physical method to produce magnetic nanodiamonds (NDs) using high dose Fe ion-implantation. The Fe atoms are distributed inside the NDs without affecting their crystal structure. So the NDs can be still functionalized through surface modification for targeted chemotherapy and the added magnetic property will make the NDs suitable for localized thermal treatment for cancer cells without the toxicity from the Fe atoms being directly in contact with the living tissue.

description: This is the first study to look at halal tourism from a scientific perspective, intending to inform practitioners about unexplored or unaddressed problems, challenges, and research opportunities with practical implications. This paper reveals the characteristics of halal tourism, the special needs of Muslim tourists, the implications of halal tourism, the awareness and perceptions of halal tourism, and the industry responses currently available. Selected articles examine the significance and philosophy of Islamic tourism and the perception of Muslim travelers in the context of contemporary global tourism developments. There were five primary types of theories discovered: (a) worldviews, (b) testable views, (c) empirical significance, (d) statistical models, and (e) grounded theories. Additionally, literature research, and qualitative and quantitative methods were identified.

Publisher: name: Theoretical Philosophy/MIND Group – JGU Mainz

description: Sleep and dreaming are important daily phenomena that are receiving growing attention from both the scientific and the philosophical field. The increasingly popular predictive brain framework within cognitive science aims to give a full account of all aspects of cognition. The aim of this paper is to critically assess the theoretical advantages of Predictive Processing (PP, as proposed by Clark 2013, Clark 2016; and Hohwy 2013) in defining sleep and dreaming.
After a brief introduction, we overview the state of the art at the intersection between dream research and PP (with particular reference to Hobson and Friston 2012; Hobson et al. 2014). In the following sections we focus on two theoretically promising aspects of the research program.
First, we consider the explanations of phenomenal consciousness during sleep (i.e. dreaming) and how it arises from the neural work of the brain. PP provides a good picture of the peculiarity of dreaming but it can’t fully address the problem of how consciousness comes to be in the first place. We propose that Integrated Information Theory (IIT) (Oizumi et al. 2014; Tononi et al. 2016) is a good candidate for this role and we will show its advantages and points of contact with PP.
After introducing IIT, we deal with the evolutionary function of sleeping and dreaming. We illustrate that PP fits with contemporary researches on the important adaptive function of sleep and we discuss why IIT can account for sleep mentation (i.e. dreaming) in evolutionary terms (Albantakis et al. 2014).
In the final section, we discuss two future avenues for dream research that can fruitfully adopt the perspective offered by PP: (a) the role of bodily predictions in the constitution of the sleeping brain activity and the dreaming experience, and (b) the precise role of the difference stages of sleep (REM (Rapid eye movement), NREM (Non-rapid eye movement)) in the constitution and refinement of the predictive machinery.

description: The world is at an important cross road. Many key indicators measuring human progress are on the ascent: better education, declining infant mortality, population growth, fewer pandemics, and reduction of infectious disease; more food for most people, extraordinary innovation and global access to technology and information. However, as a consequence of these human achievements, the physical environment and natural systems which support the survival of our species (and 9 million others) are experiencing unprecedented change. Most notably, the planet’s climate is rapidly heating, with a multitude of unpredictable consequences for biodiversity and food security. Globally we are experiencing largescale habitat destruction and deforestation, rampant biological invasions, a mass extinction, ubiquitous plastic pollution, collapse of natural food resources and critical loss of insect populations. The biological system is at tipping point, under threat of irreversible collapse; at this pivotal time, we need collaborative, global leadership that prioritises these issues. We are cognizant that the very practice of leadership that got us to where we are today - male dominated, competitive, aggressive, short term, ‘I’ over ‘we’, and often using the assets that belong to the commons for personal gain - is manifestly unsuited to guiding humanity to where it needs to be to survive and indeed prosper - together. Indeed, we need a radically new model of leadership; the easiest way to shift the current leadership paradigm? Include more women. To inform this discussion, we have compiled an extensive literature review and fact sheet on the systemic challenges faced by women with a STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) background in both the developed and developing world. Although modest, this compilation is a crucial contribution to shifting the global narrative of leadership; we must understand the mechanisms underpinning disparities if we wish to change them. ‘Homeward Bound’ is a global initiative which elevates the visibility and leadership capacity of women with a STEMM background, to collaborate, influence environmental policy and contribute to the leadership debate. Over three years a collaboration of multi-national Homeward Bound alumnae (women in STEMM) created these two documents for a global audience. Firstly, our aim is to show women across the world ‘you are not alone’. Secondly, to a world in need of more leaders who are collaborative, inclusive and legacy minded (irrespective of their sex), we demonstrate that women face unique challenges which undermine their ability to get into the leadership arena. They are significant, and will only diminish with united effort; but we - men, women, children, and the planet, upon which we survive - will benefit. Research Report rights:

The Emergence of African Religious Pilgrimages as a Local Economic Development Tool
Creators: name: Linda, Nompumelelo N
Publisher: name: Journal of Tourism & Development
Year: 2023

description: The religious sector is another sector of tourism, and so this study aimed at establishing whether the pilgrimage destinations would be perceived as a socio-economic enhancer or contributor for the country. African religious pilgrimages can play an integral part of pilgrimage destinations of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). The African religious pilgrimages can contribute to tourism development and subsequently to the general local socio-economic development of KZN as there are various significant pilgrimages. The emergence of African religious pilgrimages can create opportunities for people and stakeholders in the tourism sector to understand that it can contribute to tourism development and subsequently to the general local economic development of KZN which has several important pilgrimages. The purpose of this paper is to explore the emergence of African religious pilgrimages as a local economic development tool. The paper uses both the theory and document analysis to look at this phenomenon. Moreover, the paper uses Local economic development (LED) and Tourism value chains (TVCs) theories in guiding the lensing and framing of the questions and objectives for this paper. The study adopted a mixed method research design; and applied a convenience sampling method of a non-probability sampling technique for primary data collection. IBM’s SPSS version 27 software and content analysis were used for data analysis. The findings showed that while African religious pilgrimages have the potential to make socio-economy contributions, it is not yet perceived in that manner by local stakeholders (including municipalities) and religious leaders. The findings further suggest that the African religious pilgrimages can be used as a tool for local economic development. The study recommends that stakeholders to enhance the socio-economic potential of religious pilgrimages such that they promote them as tourism and/or socio-economic development stimuli within the study areas and elsewhere in South Africa.

description: Raman spectra of few-layer MoSe2 were measured with 8 excitation energies. New peaks that appear only near resonance with various exciton states are analyzed, and the modes are assigned. The resonance profiles of the Raman peaks reflect the joint density of states for optical transitions, but the symmetry of the exciton wave functions leads to selective enhancement of the A1g mode at the A exciton energy and the shear mode at the C exciton energy. We also find Davydov splitting of intra-layer A1g, E1g, and A2u modes due to inter-layer interaction for some excitation energies near resonances. Furthermore, by fitting the spectral positions of inter-layer shear and breathing modes and Davydov splitting of intra-layer modes to a linear chain model, we extract the strength of the inter-layer interaction. We find that the second-nearest-neighbor inter-layer interaction amounts to about 30% of the nearest-neighbor interaction for both in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations.

description: We present a general scenario for high-temperature superconducting cuprates, based on the presence of dynamical charge density waves (CDWs) and to the occurrence of a CDW quantum critical point, which occurs, e.g., at doping p~0.16 in YBCO. In this framework, even the pseudogap temperature T* is interpreted in terms of a reduction of the density of states due to incipient CDW and, at lower temperature to the possible formation of incoherent superconducting pairs. The dynamically fluctuating character of CDW accounts for the different temperatures at which the pseudogap (T*), the CDW onset revealed by X-ray scattering (T_{ons}(p)), and the static three-dimensional CDW ordering appear. We also investigate the anisotropic character of the CDW-mediated scattering. We find that this is strongly anisotropic only close to the CDW quantum critical point (QCP) at low temperature and very low energy. It rapidly becomes nearly isotropic and marginal-Fermi-liquid-like away from the CDW QCP and at finite (even rather small) energies. This may reconcile the interpretation of Hall measurements in terms of anisotropic CDW scattering with recent photoemission experiments.

description: This study aims to explain the contributions of the local community to sustainable community-based tourism in Barangay San Miguel in Echague, Isabela, Philippines. In developing the research, the researchers will use the qualitative-phenomenological approach through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The study’s key informants (n=49) are barangay government representatives, tourism-related business owners, members of the marginalized sector (farmers, women, youth tour guides), and members of the academe. The Repertory Grid and Thematic Network Analysis, specifically mixed development, were utilized as the research’s mode of analysis. Ethical considerations were implemented by receiving a notice to proceed from the Ethics Review Committee and providing formal communication and coordination with proper authorities and related key informants. From the findings, a Community Contribution on Sustainable Tourism Development Framework was developed to highlight the contributions of the local community in local tourism strategic directions based on the pre-, during, and post-pandemic situation. Based on the framework, the local community’s contribution is focused on the systematic (sustainable tourism management), directional (sustainable tourism governance), interpretational (sustainable tourism education and information dissemination), and rational (sustainable tourism philosophies and values) themes. The study's findings, as recommendation, can be used as one of the foundations for developing a Sustainable Tourism and Strategic Development Plan concentrated on a community-based tourism development paradigm.

description: Recent observations of AGN activity in massive galaxies (log Mstar / Msun > 10.4) show that: 1) at z < 1, AGN-hosting galaxies do not show enhanced merger signatures compared to normal galaxies, 2) also at z < 1, most AGNs are hosted by quiescent galaxies; and 3) at z > 1, percentage of AGNs in star forming galaxies increases and becomes comparable to AGN percentage in quiescent galaxies at z ~ 2. How can major mergers explain AGN activity in massive quiescent galaxies which have no merger features and no star formation to indicate recent galaxy merger? By matching merger events in a cosmological N-body simulation to the observed AGN incidence probability in the COSMOS survey, we show that major merger triggered AGN activity is consistent with the observations. By distinguishing between "peak" AGNs (recently merger triggered and hosted by star forming galaxies) and "faded" AGNs (merger triggered a long time ago and now residing in quiescent galaxies), we show that the AGN occupation fraction in star forming and quiescent galaxies simply follows the evolution of the galaxy merger rate. Since the galaxy merger rate drops dramatically at z < 1, the only AGNs left to be observed are the ones triggered by old mergers and are now in the declining phase of their nuclear activity, hosted by quiescent galaxies. As we go toward higher redshifts the galaxy merger rate increases and the percentages of "peak" AGNs and "faded" AGNs become comparable.

Tracer diffusion in a sea of polymers with binding zones: mobile vs frozen traps

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the tracer diffusion in a sea of polymers with specific binding zones for the tracer. These binding zones act as traps. Our simulations show that the tracer can undergo normal yet non-Gaussian diffusion under certain circumstances, e.g, when the polymers with traps are frozen in space and the volume fraction and the binding strength of the traps are moderate. In this case, as the tracer moves, it experiences a heterogeneous environment and exhibits confined continuous time random walk (CTRW) like motion resulting a non-Gaussian behavior. Also the long time dynamics becomes subdiffusive as the number or the binding strength of the traps increases. However, if the polymers are mobile then the tracer dynamics is Gaussian but could be normal or subdiffusive depending on the number and the binding strength of the traps. In addition, with increasing binding strength and the number of the polymer traps, the probability of the tracer being trapped increases. On the other hand, removing the binding zones does not result trapping, even at comparatively high crowding. Our simulations also show that the trapping probability increases with the increasing size of the tracer and for a bigger tracer with the frozen polymer background the dynamics is only weakly non-Gaussian but highly subdiffusive. Our observations are in the same spirit as found in many recent experiments on tracer diffusion in polymeric materials and questions the validity of Gaussian theory to describe diffusion in crowded environment in general.
The inclination of the planetary system relative to the solar equator may be explained by the presence of Planet 9

description: We evaluate the effects of a distant planet, commonly known as planet 9, on the dynamics of the giant planets of the Solar System. We find that, given the large distance of planet 9, the dynamics of the inner giant planets can be decomposed into a classic Lagrange-Laplace dynamics relative to their own invariant plane (the plane orthogonal to their total angular momentum vector) and a slow precession of said plane relative to the total angular momentum vector of the Solar System, including planet 9. Under some specific configurations for planet 9, this precession can explain the current tilt of approximately 6 degrees between the invariant plane of the giant planets and the solar equator. An analytical model is developed to map the evolution of the inclination of the inner giant planets' invariant plane as a function of the planet 9's mass, inclination, eccentricity and semimajor axis, and some numerical simulations of the equations of motion of the giant planets and planet 9 are performed to validate our analytical approach. The longitude of the ascending node of planet 9 is found to be linked to the longitude of the ascending node of the giant planets' invariant plane, which also constrain the longitude of the node of planet 9 on the ecliptic. Some of the planet 9 configurations that allow explaining the current solar tilt are compatible with those proposed to explain the orbital confinement of the most distant Kuiper belt objects. Thus, this work on the one hand gives an elegant explanation for the current tilt between the invariant plane of the inner giant planets and the solar equator and, on the other hand, adds new constraints to the orbital elements of planet 9.

description: We present a study of mono(benzene)TM and bis(benzene)TM systems, where TM={Mo,W}. We calculate the binding energies by quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) approaches and compare the results with other methods and available experiments. The orbitals for the determinantal part of each trial wave function were generated from several types of DFT in order to optimize for fixed-node errors. We estimate and compare the size of the fixed-node errors for both the Mo and W systems with regard to the electron density and degree of localization in these systems. For the W systems we provide benchmarking results of the binding energies, given that experimental data is not available.

description: ABSTRACT

Introduction: Medication reconciliation is a clinical service that allows to compare the pharmacotherapeutic profile of the patient in different transition of care and has been reducing medication errors and preventing adverse drug events. Several studies have described this process in hospital setting, but medication reconciliation is not implemented broadly in primary health care. Thus, this study is aimed to describe the discrepancies found through medication reconciliation provided by clinical pharmacist in older adults in Portugal’s ambulatory setting.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the primary health care in Portugal. Elderly patients taking five or more medications were interview by clinical pharmacist regarding their current medication use in order to develop an updated list that was compared with the S. Miguel Health Center electronic medical record. Patients were eligible by family physician and forwarded to the clinical pharmacist’s consultation. Any discrepancies found were classified as omission, inclusion, dose, frequency, and duplication.

Results: Twenty patients were analyzed with a mean age of 76.8 ± 6.01 years; half of them were women, taking a mean of 7.8 ± 2.23 drugs, and the most frequency comorbidities presented were hypertension (65.0%) and diabetes mellitus (50.0%). One hundred fifty-six different drugs were identified in prescriptions and most drugs involved were antihypertensives (23.2%). One hundred and thirty-eight discrepancies were identified with 39.0% classified such as omission, followed by frequency (32.0%), omission (21.0%), dose (7.0%), and duplication (1.0%).

Conclusion: This study showed high medication discrepancies between updated medication list and electronic medical records in older adults, most of which classified such as inclusion. Our findings emphasize the role of clinical pharmacist to minimize medication errors in primary health care.

description: While Airbnb was a disruptor of the international hotel industry for many years, Covid-19 has disrupted the disrupter during the last three years. Health risk perceptions and trust in the quality of the service and the influence on tourist attitudes and intention to stay in Airbnb accommodation are two main factors that this study aims to measure. Data was collected from 228 respondents in China and analysed through SPSS. The results show that tourists are concerned about their health, and there is a negative relationship between perception of health risks and attitude towards staying in Airbnb accommodation. They do, however, believe that the Airbnb host is honest and reliable in terms of the quality of their services and that they care about the customer, which influences their decision to stay in Airbnb accommodations after the pandemic. The results of this study can create a better picture of the tourist perception of Airbnb, which can be a piece of good information for the service providers to improve the service or do the necessary.

description: Tourism has grown steadily and diversified more and more, to become one of the most dynamic economic sectors in the world. Tourism in Morocco is a strategic sector and a backbone of its national economy, given its capacity to create wealth, employment and foreign exchange. However, tourism is a fragile sector and very sensitive to the international situation (natural disasters, socio-political and economic crises, etc.). The health crisis linked to the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all links in the tourism chain. It is an unprecedented shock that has disrupted the tourism sector and has led to new rules of the game. Indeed, COVID-19 has forced public authorities to impose sanitary and regulatory restrictions to stop its dissemination. These restrictions change the rules of the game and thus influence the supply and demand of tourism.

description: The role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in intercellular communication is being increasingly recognized in clinical research. Being shed from cells in an evolutionarily conserved manner, EVs transfer mediators from different biomolecule categories involving them in inflammation, maintenance of homeostasis, regulation of physiological functions, and the process of horizontal gene transfer. Based on their mechanism of cellular formation, size and cargo, EVs can be subdivided into exosomes, microvesicles (MVs), and bigger vesicles, such as oncosomes and apoptotic bodies. In contrast to exosomes, MVs are released by blebbing of the outer cellular membrane, thus sharing antigenicity with their cellular origin. MVs often express tissue factor (TF) and hence, potently activate the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade. Moreover, TF+MVs induce cellular responses via the PAR2/G protein/ERK pathway, involving them in inflammation, cancer progression and metastatic spreading. In collaboration with several clinics of the UKSH, we are investigating the role of MVs in disease processes and their potential use as biomarkers, in particular (I) the characterization of MVs found in ascites of patients with ovarian carcinoma as markers for cancer progression and thrombosis (gynecology), (II) the suitability of urinary MVs from patients with bladder carcinoma as biomarkers for disease recurrence or progression (urology), (III) the importance of platelet-derived MVs from patients with head and neck tumors functioning as shuttle for clinically relevant biomolecules (e.g. PD-1, PD-L1) (otorhinolaryngology), (IV) the therapeutic and prognostic relevance of TF+MVs as PAR2/G protein activators and GPCR antibodies in rheumatic diseases (rheumatology). Purification of MVs from various body fluids is performed using sequential centrifugation steps; we have established an innovative purification method using annexin-V-coated magnetic beads. Detection, size determination and quantification of MVs are done by high-resolution flow cytometry and electron microscopy (SEM). MVs are characterized biochemically including their exposure of PS, expression of active TF, activation of the extrinsic TENase, as well as PAR2/Gprotein/ERK signaling and, downstream, induction of tumor cell migration as surrogate parameter for their metastatic potency. We plan to establish a translational research network at the UKSH on the emerging role of EVs in various diseases including cancer, and their interaction with inflammatory processes.

Milne's Correcting Factor and Derived De Rham Cohomology II

Year: 2017

description: Milne's correcting factor, which appears in the Zeta-value at $s=n$ of a smooth projective variety $X$ over a finite field Fq, is the Euler characteristic of the derived de Rham cohomology of $X/\{Z}$ modulo the Hodge filtration $Fn$. In this note, we extend this result to arbitrary separated schemes of finite type over Fq of dimension at most $d$, provided resolution of singularities for schemes of dimension at most $d$ holds. More precisely, we show that Geisser's generalization of Milne's factor, whenever it is well defined, is the Euler characteristic of the $eh$-cohomology with compact support of the derived de Rham complex relative to Z modulo $Fn$.

description: We review the Schrödinger picture of field theory in curved spacetime and using this formalism, the power spectrum of massive non-interacting, minimally coupled scalars in a fixed de Sitter background is obtained. To calculate the N-point function in Schrödinger field theory, the "in-in" formalism is extended in the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) universe. We compute the three-point function for primordial scalar field fluctuation in the single field inflation by this in-in formalism. The results are the same as the three-point function in the Heisenberg picture.
