description: There has been considerable interest in chalcogenide alloys with high concentrations of native vacancies that lead to properties desirable for thermoelectric and phase-change materials. Recently, vacancy ordering has been identified as the mechanism for metal-insulator transitions observed in GeSb2Te4 and an unexpectedly low thermal conductivity in Ga2Te3. Here, we report the direct observation of vacancy ordering in Ga2SeTe2 utilizing aberration-corrected electron microscopy. Images reveal a cation-anion dumbbell inversion associated with the accommodation of vacancy ordering across the entire crystal. The result is a striking example of the interplay between native defects and local structure.

description: This report describes some cases of unilateral renal agenesis, a congenital anomaly, in a breeding colony of New Zealand white rabbits, detected on physical and necropsy examination. The cases show absence of one of the kidneys, without involvement of the other parts of the genitourinary system or any other part of the body. The animals exhibited no clinical sign of renal failure. Serum biochemical and urine analysis of the animals showed a decrease in specific gravity of the urine with slight increase in the blood urea with no marked changes in other blood and urine parameters.

D6.3 Intermediate update of the communication and dissemination strategy and reporting actions done in the first project period
Creators: name: Bairampa, Evdokia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Urban water runoff, a threat to public health and biodiversity, worsens with changing rainfall patterns and the discovery of new contaminants. Collaboration among urban planners, policymakers, and water utilities is essential to mitigate diffuse pollution. Implementing scalable hybrid Nature Based Solutions (NBS) offers potential. By identifying and monitoring water pollutants, NBS can be tailored to social needs, policies, and urban design. Insights from three pilot locations will be crucial in developing effective and scalable hybrid NBS solutions.

This report (D6.3) provides a comprehensive insight into the dissemination and communication activities that have been carried out in the first 18 months of the D4RUNOFF project by the consortium partners. In parallel, it continues the initial deliverable D6.1, which presents the overall dissemination and communication strategy and serves as the basis for the activities and work to be performed in the upcoming 18 months (D6.8).

A complete listing of communication activities and methods will be presented, along with their impact on different target groups and the progress made in relation to the major Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) defined in D6.1. An analysis of the results and strategies will allow the project to evolve, increasing its dissemination and communication efficiency.

description: Introduction of microbiologically contaminated materials into mice can cause infections and distort research results. As counter measures, biological materials should be routinely screened prior to use, ideally by specific, sensitive, and reliable diagnostic methods. In this overview, we present a description of the currently used detection methods for murine viruses, including virus isolation in cell culture, the mouse antibody production (MAP) test, infant mouse bioassay and the PCR, that are relevant to routine health monitoring and summarize available data on their comparative sensitivities. Current diagnostic trends toward increased use of in vitro methods, apart from providing sensitive and specific results, contribute to refinement, replacement and reduction of the use of laboratory animals.

description: The shapes of solar coronal loops are sensitive to the presence of electrical currents that are the carriers of the nonpotential energy available for impulsive activity. We use this information in a new method for modeling the coronal magnetic field of AR 11158 as a nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF). The observations used are coronal images around time of major flare activity on 2011/02/15, together with the surface line-of-sight magnetic field measurements. The data are from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (HMI and AIA, respectively) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The model fields are constrained to approximate the coronal loop configurations as closely as possible, while also subject to the force-free constraints. The method does not use transverse photospheric magnetic field components as input, and is thereby distinct from methods for modeling NLFFFs based on photospheric vector magnetograms. We validate the method using observations of AR 11158 at a time well before major flaring, and subsequently review the field evolution just prior to and following an X2.2 flare and associated eruption. The models indicate that the energy released during the instability is about $1\times10^{32}$ erg, consistent with what is needed to power such a large eruptive flare. Immediately prior to the eruption the model field contains a compact sigmoid bundle of twisted flux that is not present in the post-eruption models, which is consistent with the observations. The core of that model structure is twisted by $\approx0.9$ full turns about its axis.

description: The menopause-related expansion of the proximal femoral marrow cavity is thought to have implications for the long-term cohesion of hip prostheses. This theory would be further strengthened if there was evidence to show that the expansion of the proximal femur marrow cavity takes place after the occurrence of a femoral neck fracture, which, it is often recommended, should be fixed with a hip prosthesis. But till now, the temporal relationship between those two osteoporotic-related changes has not been checked carefully. The objective of the current study was to examine the temporal relationship between the marrow cavity expansion of the proximal femur and the biomechanical deterioration of the femoral neck in a rat model. To do so, a cross-sectional study with multiple time points was carried out on 6-month old Sprague-Dawley rats, which were ovariectomized or sham-operated (as controls). The biomechanical properties of the femur neck and geometrical parameters of the femur shaft were evaluated at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 weeks postoperatively, with special reference to the timescale of the observed changes. We found that the maximum load of the femoral neck in ovariectomized rats could bear decreased significantly compared, to that of controls, at 9 weeks postoperatively (p=0.03), while the marrow cavity of the proximal femur in ovariectomized rats turned out to be significantly enlarged at 15 weeks postoperatively (p=0.04). Conclusion: Our result demonstrated that the osteoporosis-related marrow-enlarged posterior led to the collapse of femoral neck strength. If the change in postmenopausal women is analogous to that in ovariectomized rats, the menopause-related marrow cavity expansion would be a risk factor for the longevity of hip prostheses.

Cosmological constraints from the CFHTLenS shear measurements using a new, accurate and flexible way of predicting nonlinear mass clustering

description: We explore the cosmological constraints from cosmic shear using a new way of modelling the non-linear matter correlation functions. The new formalism extends the method of Angulo & White (2010), which manipulates outputs of $N$-body simulations to represent the three-dimensional nonlinear mass distribution in different cosmological scenarios. We show that predictions from our approach for shear two-point correlations at $1$ to $300$ arcmin separations are accurate at the $\sim10$\% level, even for extreme changes in cosmology. For moderate changes, with target cosmologies similar to that preferred by analyses of recent Planck data, the accuracy is close to $\sim5$\%. We combine this approach with a MonteCarlo Markov Chain sampler to explore constraints on a $Λ$CDM model from the shear correlation functions measured in the Canada-France Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS). We obtain constraints on the parameter combination $σ_8 (Ω_m/0.27)^{0.6} = 0.801 \pm 0.028$. Combined with results from CMB data, we obtain marginalised constraints on $σ_8 = 0.81 \pm 0.01$ and $Ω_m = 0.29 \pm 0.01$. These results are fully compatible with previous analyses, which supports the validity of our approach. We discuss the advantages of our method and the potential it offers, including a path to incorporate in detail the effects of baryons, among others effects, in future high-precision cosmological analyses.

description: This study defined a mouse model of type 2 diabetes that closely simulated the development and metabolic abnormalities of the human disease. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed with diet enriched in fat and simple carbohydrate for 6 weeks and then injected with streptozotocin (STZ, 150 mg/kg intraperitoneally) to develop type 2 diabetes. High-fat/carbohydrate-fed mice showed similar blood glucose concentrations to chow-fed mice, but higher insulin concentrations (P<0.01). Hyperglycemia (17.6±3.27 mmol/L) was observed in these mice after STZ injection, and the insulin concentrations decreased to the level comparable to, or still higher than, the normal. The model mice showed impaired glucose tolerance in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and insulin resistance in the insulin tolerance test (ITT). Moreover, these animals had lower glycogen storage (P<0.001), higher serum free fatty acid (P<0.001), and higher triglycerides (P<0.05) levels compared with control mice. Furthermore, the model mice were sensitive to the glucose lowering effect of metformin. In conclusion, this mouse model could be considered as one of the suitable animal models for type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hence can reasonably be used for type 2 diabetes pathophysiological research and therapeutic-compound evaluation.

description: The manual user-operated Arise Standing Wheelchair (SWC) is the end-result of multiple design iterations based on comments from user trials. The Arise SWC provides standing functionality, outdoor mobility, affordability, and customizability. This paper describes a user experience study of the Arise SWC’s pre-commercial version. Thirty participants (N = 30, 25 Male, 5 Female) were recruited for the study. All the participants were people with spinal cord injury. The study was conducted over a period of six weeks (five participants per week) within the hospital premises under the supervision of clinical personnel. A 30 min interactive training session involved thirteen activities. During the trial period, the participants were trained to perform twenty-two activities to familiarize themselves with the SWC. The participants were also trained to perform four functional usage activities with the SWC. At the end of the study, participant responses to ten outcome measures were captured using a smiley-based Likert-scale questionnaire. A majority of the participants (93.3%) felt happy when they stood in the SWC. The majority participants (83.3%) preferred the Arise SWC over their current wheelchair. Also, 80% participants anticipated that they could get more work done at home using the standing function of the wheelchair. A one-time fitting and training ensured optimal effort for the SWC operation, correct posture, and comfortable user experience. With proper dissemination and awareness, it is believed that the Arise SWC will benefit eligible users and improve their quality of life.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe Arise wheelchair provides standing functionality, outdoor mobility, affordability, and customizability.Study confirms that incorporating standing functionality can improve the quality of life for wheelchair users.The majority of users were happy, felt safe and expected to do more with the standing functionality.Study results support further testing in real world conditions beyond the hospital setting.

description: Multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problems (MRCPSPs) are classified as NP-hard problems, in which a task has different execution modes characterized by different resource requirements. Estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) has shown an effective performance for solving such real-world optimization problems but it fails to find the desired optima. This paper integrates a novel hybrid local search technique with EDA to enhance their local search ability. The new local search is based on delete-then-insert operator and a random walk (DIRW) to enhance exploitation abilities of EDA in the neighborhoods of the search space. The proposed algorithm is capable to explore and exploit the search mechanism in the search space through its outer and inner loops. The proposed algorithm is tested and evaluated using benchmark test problems of the project scheduling problem library PSPLIB. Simulation results of the proposed algorithm are compared with the classical EDA algorithm. The obtained results showed that the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and outperformed the compared EDA algorithm.

description: To improve the welfare of group-housed male guinea pigs during the acclimatization period, which is when social groups are formed, different designs of shelters were tested, one shelter having one entrance to a single compartment – a Box for group hiding – and the other having individual entrances to a compartment in the cage – a Garage for single hiding. Both were studied to evaluate whether they had any affect on the behavioral levels. Behavioural and weight data were collected during five of the seven days of the acclimatization period. Data were tested against the Mann-Whitney U and Variance Analysis test. Results demonstrated that males in cages with the garage spent more time inside the shelter (P =0.0004), while males in cages with the box spent more time resting (P =0.000), feeding (P =0.0043) and drinking (P =0.0022) on the open floor, and yet there was no difference in individual weight between treatments at the end of the study. Males in cages with garage experienced a more rapid establishment of the social hierarchy (P = 0.0024) by being involved with a lower number of social interactions. The conclusion from the present study is considered to show that males in cages with the garage were able to avoid unnecessarily high levels of stress and aggression caused by territorial defence while the hierarchy was established.

description: GENUS SCAPTOBDELLA BLANCHARD, 1897
Type species: Scaptobdella horsti Blanchard, 1897, fixed by monotypy.
Emended diagnosis: Female gonopore in posterior part of somite XII. Pharyngopore, when present, dorsally in posterior part of somite XIV. Pharyngoporal duct simple, straight, descending to pharynx terminal end. Crop tubular, acaecate. Gastropore and gastroporal duct absent. Pair of atrial cornua conical, curved posterolaterally. Tubular ovisacs turned posterodistally, then running dorsally on respective sperm ducts.
Remarks: This genus has been considered a salifid taxon (Sawyer, 1986; Nakano & Nguyen, 2015). However, Scaptobdella does not belong to the family Salifidae because its type species and other congeners clearly possess an agnathous and euthylaematous pharynx in their oral cavities. Although the species of Scaptobdella do not bear a ventral gastroporal duct, this genus is placed within the family Gastrostomobdellidae by the following characteristics: mid-body somite annulation basically sexannulate, post-anal annuli present, ejaculatory bulbs and epididymides absent, and ovisacs tubular, directly descending to female gonopore. Scaptobdella is distinguishable from Gastrostomobdella by the following morphological characteristics: female gonopore in posterior part of somite XII (in somite XII/XIII to anterior part of somite XIII in Gastrostomobdella), atrial cornua developed conical, and curved posterolaterally (rudimentary or weakly developed), and tubular ovisacs running dorsally on respective sperm ducts (generally running alongside the ventral nerve cord).

description: We revisit the notion of particle-vortex duality in abelian theories of complex scalar fields coupled to gauge fields, formulating the duality as a transformation at the level of the path integral. This transformation is then made symmetric and cast as a self-duality that maps the original theory into itself with the role of particles and vortices interchanged. After defining the transformation for a pure Chern-Simons gauge theory, we show how to embed it into (a sector of) the $(2+1)-$dimensional ABJM model, and argue that this duality can be understood as being related to 4-dimensional Maxwell duality in the $AdS_{4}\times\mathbb{CP}^{3}$ bulk.

description: Assistive technologies have the potential for supporting people with memory complaints in their daily life. User-centered interaction design research helps developers to create systems that are suitable for users. The aim of this work is to describe the methodology and the results of the usability test for the first Memento prototype involving users. In each country, 5 subjects with different levels of cognitive reserve and technical proficiency were enrolled in Italy, Austria and Spain, respectively (15 subjects; 6 M; 9 F, age 72.8 ± 10.8 years, MMSE score 25.6 ± 1.6). Observation methods, performance metrics and the System Usability Scale were used to collect data. The results are presented in terms of design, technical problems, target-group-related challenges and usability perception from the participant perspective. Suggestions for improvement were pointed out by the users. Considering the usability scores interpretation, the first prototype was classified as “OK” and “Good” by users. The results of the Lab Trials provide important information on usability and the users’ needs in order to improve the Memento prototype and to create a final system to be evaluated during the Field Trials phase of the project.Implication for rehabilitationThe MEMENTO project mission is to improve the quality of life of people in the early and middle stages of dementia, by supporting the management of daily activities that are usually affected by the loss of memory and cognition. The Lab Trial phase is essential to have feedback on the usability of the Memento prototype to allow a better understanding of users' needs and expectations.

description: A rat S. moniliformis strain was dosed, orally and nasally, to two groups of 12 guinea pigs aged 10-15 weeks and 4-5 weeks respectively. In the first experiment 3 animals were sacrificed 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks after infection and S. moniliformis was detected by culture in one animal at 2 weeks and by PCR in two animals at 4 weeks. In the second experiment 4 animals were sacrificed 2, 4 and 6 weeks after infection and S. moniliformis was not detected by culture and PCR in any animal. Seroconversion to S. moniliformis was found from 2 weeks after infection in 3 of 12 and 7 of 12 guinea pigs respectively. Clinical signs and gross lesions in the ventral cervical area and the lungs were not observed in any animal. We conclude that guinea pigs seem difficult to infect with a rat S. moniliformis strain.

description: The objective of this study was to describe histological and ultrastructural findings in the intestine of 8 rabbits exhibiting severe diarrhea, a problem which occasionally severely effects commerceila rabbit breading operations. Microscopic lesions from the small and large intestines were very similar to those described in the mucoid enteritis complex. Histological lesions included mucoid neutrophilic or lymphocytic-plasmacytic enteritis with atropy and fusion of the villi, hyperplasia of the goblet cells and submucosal and serosal edema in the small intestine. Escherichia coli was isolated from 3 animals. The ultrastructural study revealed in addition to hyperplasia of goblet cells, loss of microvilli in the small intestine. Furthermore pseudonuclear inclusions surrounded by true nuclear membrane and free intranuclear and intracytoplasmic virus-like particles were observed in all rabbits. It was concluded that the diarrhea had a multi-factorial etiology, probably due to change in feed, bacterial proliferation and bacterial coinfection with enteric virus.

description: The Pathophysiological course of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not completely understood, such as how and why blood or its lysate can influence the brain. Although many SAH animal models have previously been reported, none are suitable for research in this field. The aim of the present study was to establish such an animal model. Twenty New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups, a control group and a SAH group (n=10). Blood was lysed using an in vitro freeze-thaw method. After anesthesia, 0.9 ml of cerebrospinal fluid was drawn from both groups. An identical volume of heparinized hemolysate was then slowly injected into the cisterna magna of the SAH group animals. Control group animals while the control group received heparinized isotonic sodium chloride solution. Forty-eight hours post-injection, samples were excised after perfusion fixation for further determinations. The degree of cerebral vasospasm was evaluated by measuring the cross-sectional area of the basilar arterial lumen, and brain damage was examined by TUNEL staining. Weight, blood pressure and saturation of blood oxygen showed no statistical differences between groups. The cross-sectional area of the arterial lumen in the SAH group was roundly 0.402 mm2, which was statistically the same as that for the control group (0.435 mm2). The apoptosis index for the SAH group was significantly higher than that for the control group. Taken together, our results show that this model is effective in reproducing the influence of blood on the brain after SAH and, at the same time, strictly excludes influences on the brain by other factors. Thus, this model can effectively be applied to investigate blood-related neuropathophysiology following SAH.

description: We have performed an analysis of case events and statistics of positive ionospheric storms in the dayside region of the equatorial ionization anomaly during recurrent geomagnetic storms (RGSs), which dominate in geomagnetic and ionospheric conditions on the declining phase of solar activity in 2004 to 2008. It is shown that total electron content (TEC) has a tendency to minimize before the beginning of RGSs and to peak 3 to 4 days after, i.e. on the RGS recovery phase produced by high-intensity long-duration continuous auroral activity. The maximum of TEC coincides with the maximum of solar wind velocity within high-speed solar wind streams. An analysis of electron content vertical profiles, derived from two independent methods using ionosondes and COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 radio occultation, showed that in the maximum of an ionospheric storm on 28 March 2008, the F2 layer thickens, NmF2 increases by ~50% and hmF2 elevates by a few tens of kilometers. The response of positive ionospheric storms to solar, heliospheric and geomagnetic drivers reveals a prominent longitudinal asymmetry. In the longitudinal range from -90 deg to 90 deg, the solar illumination plays a major role, and in the range from 90 deg to -120 deg, the influence of heliospheric and geomagnetic drivers becomes significant. The highest correlations of the TEC enhancements with the heliospheric and geomagnetic drivers were found during December - February period (r increased from ~ 0.3 to ~0.5). We speculate that the dynamics controlling this might result from an effect of solar zenith angle, storm-time effects of thermospheric Sum(O/N2) enhancement, and penetrating electric fields of interplanetary and magnetospheric origin.

description: The present study was conducted to investigate whether vitamin C or kefir (a milk-based fermentation product) protected Swiss albino mice from azoxymethane (AOM) toxicity. We also investigated the effect of AOM administration on the induction of metallothionein (MT) expression in mice tissues. 40 12-weekold male/female (20:20) Swiss albino mice with a mean weight of 31.4 g were allocated into four groups. Animals in the first group were the control group. Animals in the other three groups were treated with AOM (5mg/kg body weight) subcutaneously twice weekly for a total of 7 weeks. Animals in the second group were treated only with AOM. Those in the third group were allowed access to kefir (50% wt/vol) ad libitum. Those in the fourth group received vitamin C subcutaneously (500 mg/kg) per day for 7 weeks. Six weeks after the final AOM treatment, all animals were sacrificed and necropsied. AOM administration caused severe liver lesions including enlarged hepatocytes (megalocytes) and many contained enlarged nuclei. Vitamin C and kefir administration clearly reduced the severity of AOM induced liver lesions. Induction of MT expression was observed in the liver and kidneys, particularly in the centrilobular zones and renal cortex, mainly in the distal renal tubules, collecting tubules, Henle's loop, and medulla, respectively. In conclusion, vitamin C and kefir supplementation were found to be able to reduce the severity of hepatotoxic lesions.,

description: In this work we complete a model independent analysis of dark matter constraining its mass and interaction strengths with data from astro- and particle physics experiments. We use the effective field theory framework to describe interactions of thermal dark matter particles of the following types: real and complex scalars, Dirac and Majorana fermions, and vector bosons. Using Bayesian inference we calculate posterior probability distributions for the mass and interaction strengths for the various spin particles. The observationally favoured dark matter particle mass region is 10-100 GeV with effective interactions that have a cut-off at 0.1-1 TeV. This mostly comes from the requirement that the thermal abundance of dark matter not exceed the observed value. Thus thermal dark matter coupled with present data implies new physics most likely under 10 TeV.

description: Context-oriented programming (COP) is a new technique for programming that allows changing the context in which commands execute as a program executes. Compared to object-oriented programming (aspect-oriented programming), COP is more flexible (modular and structured). This paper presents a precise syntax-directed operational semantics for context-oriented programming with layers, as realized by COP languages like ContextJ* and ContextL. Our language model is built on Java enriched with layer concepts and activation and deactivation of layer scopes. The paper also presents a static type system that guarantees that typed programs do not get stuck. Using the means of the proposed semantics, the mathematical correctness of the type system is presented in the paper.

Immune Responses Induced in Mice after Intragastral Administration with Sendai Virus in Combination with Extract of Uncaria Tomentosa

description: In the present study, the dried hydroalcoholic extract from the bark of Uncaria tomentosa was evaluated as a potential immunostimulator. BALP/c mice were seven times immunized intragastrically (i.g.) with a formalin- inactivated whole Sendai virus (SV) with two doses of the dry extract. The efficacy of the U. tomentosa was evaluated by examining specific IgA in saliva as well as IgG and haemagglutination inhibition (HI) in serum antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and HI tests. We found that the animals inoculated with 5.6 mg of the dry extract of U. tomentosa induced higher saliva IgA antibodies. Furthermore, the mice immunized e.g. with SV plus 0.56 mg of the extract had significantly higher IgA, IgG and HI antibody responses to SV than did those administered with the SV alone. These results suggest that dry extract from bark of U. tomentosa is useful as a mucosal adjuvant for mice.

Subcutaneous Versus Intraperitoneal Placement of Radiotelemetry Transmitters for Long-term Recording of Electroencephalography

description: H. Lundbeck has been one of the pioneers in the use of implantable radiotelemetry devices for the collection of electroencephalographic (EEG) and electromyographic (EMG) data in rats. This technology is useful both for sleep research (Vogel et al., 2002: J. Neurosci. Methods 118, 89-96) and epilepsy research (Bastlund et al., 2004 J. Neurosci. Methods 138, 65-72). As part of an ongoing process to improve the ethical and technical aspects of our animal models with focus on the 3R’s, we are engaged in continuous dialogue with our in-house veterinary staff, the equipment manufacturers and other research groups using the telemetry technology. At Lundbeck, we had formerly been implanting the transmitter devices in the intraperitoneal (IP) cavity, however, we were experiencing a number of difficulties with this method. For example, this procedure requires multiple incisions as well as turning the rat over during surgery, compromising the aseptic conditions and thereby increasing the risk of infection. Past experience with subcutaneous (SC) implantation revealed that this technique may also lead to infection, seromas and in some cases penetration of the leads and/or the transmitter body through the skin. However we have further developed our surgical procedure for the SC implantation, optimising and focusing on aseptic surgery without compromising the quality of the data.

description: Minor changes in the administration technique used for intranasal instillation of clonazepam, have been found to influence the results significantly. A simple study was performed, where rabbits received 0.5 mg clonazepam intranasally. One group received the drug while fixed in a sitting position, where the other group was fixed in a supine position. The results show that both techniques where able to provide a rapid absorption with a tmax around 3-4 min. The Cmax and AUC, however, were very different. The Cmax was found to be 40 ng/ml and 86 ng/ml, respectively, and the AUC was found to be 891 and 2249 (ng/ml/min), respectively, for the sitting and the supine position. The relative bioavailability for sitting/supine was found to be 38%. These results show that the administration technique is very important and should not be underestimated.

description: A one-dimensional model of bosons with repulsive short-range interactions, solved analytically by Lieb and Liniger many years ago, predicts existence of two branches of elementary excitations. One of them represents Bogoliubov phonons, the other, as suggested by some authors, might be related to dark solitons. On the other hand, it has been already demonstrated within a framework of the classical field approximation that quasi-one-dimensional interacting Bose gas at equilibrium exhibits excitations which are phonons and dark solitons. By showing that statistical distributions of dark solitons obtained within the classical field approximation match the distributions of quasiparticles of the second kind derived from fully quantum description we demonstrate that type II excitations in the Lieb-Liniger model are, indeed, quantum solitons.
