description: We analyze the dynamics and observational predictions of supersymmetric hybrid inflation in the warm regime, where dissipative effects are mediated by the waterfall fields and their subsequent decay into light degrees of freedom. This produces a quasi-thermal radiation bath with a slowly-varying temperature during inflation and further damps the inflaton's motion, thus prolonging inflation. As in the standard supercooled scenario, inflation ends when the waterfall fields become tachyonic and can no longer sustain a nearly constant vacuum energy, but the interaction with the radiation bath makes the waterfall fields effectively heavier and delays the phase transition to the supersymmetric minimum. In this work, we analyze for the first time the effects of finite temperature corrections and SUSY mass splittings on the quantum effective potential and the resulting dissipation coefficient. We show, in particular, that dissipation can significantly delay the onset of the tachyonic instability to yield 50-60 e-folds of inflation and an observationally consistent primordial spectrum, which is not possible in the standard supercooled regime when inflation is driven by radiative corrections.

description: The uniqueness of each standpoint, each point of effect, can only be "overcome" by the standpoint changing to other standpoints and returning. In such alternation, which can also appear as constant change, lies the unity of the world. The wholeness of an alternation, however, is a structure of consciousness due to the special relationship between the circumscribing periphery and the infinitesimal center. This process structure unites determinacy and indeterminacy also totally in every place. Therefore, everywhere we are dealing with forms of consciousness with more or less freedom of choice and an increasingly unknown depth. We live in a world of choosing consciousness, or rather awareness. In this respect, our environment expresses a deep truth about ourselves.

description: The first edition of the Astronomy Festival, titled “Colors of the Universe”, took place in Castellaro Lagusello, near Mantova (Italy), on June 19 and 20, 2021. Castellaro Lagusello, ranked as one of the “Most beautiful villages in Italy”, for decades hosted a Buskers Festival that attracted thousands of visitors from nearby regions. For the first time Castellaro Lagusello has framed a scientific event. The theme of the Festival has been the electromagnetic spectrum and its use in astronomy. The goals of the Festival are multifold: promoting the dissemination of scientific culture and knowledge by engaging the public, linking the research institutes and universities with schools and the population by means of the so-called peer-education (i.e. PhD students are prepared by INAF researchers to educate high-school students who in turn lead the activities during the Festival, bringing them to the general public), and valuing the beauty of the territory and its historical sites. The Festival has been organized by Comune di Monzambano and INAF (main organizers: A. Zanella and F. Di Giacomo), and had the partnership of the European Southern Observatory and the International Astronomical Union. It included exhibitions, hands-on workshops, wall-map projections, outreach conferences, and observations with telescopes. The Festival reached about 4000 visitors, coming from all over North Italy, and it has received an excellent evaluation from the participants (2.9/3 overall). Given the success of the first edition, we are now organizing a second edition title “Attractive Universe” with gravity as a theme.

description: Algorithm portfolios represent a strategy of composing multiple heuristic algorithms, each suited to a different class of problems, within a single general solver that will choose the best suited algorithm for each input. This approach recently gained popularity especially for solving combinatoric problems, but optimization applications are still emerging. The COCO platform of the BBOB workshop series is the current standard way to measure performance of continuous black-box optimization algorithms. As an extension to the COCO platform, we present the Python-based COCOpf framework that allows composing portfolios of optimization algorithms and running experiments with different selection strategies. In our framework, we focus on black-box algorithm portfolio and online adaptive selection. As a demonstration, we measure the performance of stock SciPy optimization algorithms and the popular CMA algorithm alone and in a portfolio with two simple selection strategies. We confirm that even a naive selection strategy can provide improved performance across problem classes.

description: Non-equilibrium charge dynamics, such as cooling-rate-dependent charge vitrification and physical aging, have been demonstrated for a charge-cluster glass in $θ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$CsZn(SCN)$_4$ using electron transport measurements. The temperature evolution of the relaxation time obeys the Arrhenius law, indicating that the glass-forming charge liquid can be classified as a "`strong" liquid in the scheme of canonical structural-glass formers. X-ray diffuse scattering further reveals that the spatial growth of charge clusters in the charge liquid is frozen below the glass transition temperature, indicating an intrinsic relationship between dynamics and structure in the charge-cluster glass.

description: Very red featureless asteroids (spectroscopic D-types) are expected to have formed in the outer solar system far from the sun. They comprise the majority of asteroids in the Jupiter Trojan population, and are also commonly found in the outer main belt and among Hildas. The first evidence for D-types in the inner and middle parts of the main belt was seen in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here we report follow-up observations of SDSS D-type candidates in the near-infrared. Based on follow up observations of 13 SDSS D-type candidates, we find a ~20% positive confirmation rate. Known inner belt D-types range in diameter from roughly 7 to 30 kilometers. Based on these detections we estimate there are ~100 inner belt D-types with diameters between 2.5 and 20km. The lower and upper limits for total mass of inner belt D-types is 2x$10^{16}$ kg to 2x$10^{17}$ kg which represents 0.01% to 0.1% of the mass of the inner belt. The inner belt D-types have albedos at or above the upper end typical for D-types which raises the question as to whether these inner belt bodies represent only a subset of D-types, they have been altered by external factors such as weathering processes, or if they are compositionally distinct from other D-types. All D-types and candidates have diameters less than 30km, yet there is no obvious parent body in the inner belt. Dynamical models have yet to show how D-types originating from the outer solar system could penetrate into the inner reaches of the Main Belt under current scenarios of planet formation and subsequent Yarkovsky drift.

description: We report the existence of diverse routes of transition from amplitude death (AD) to oscillation death (OD) in three different diffusively coupled systems, those are perturbed by a symmetry break- ing repulsive coupling link. For limit cycle systems the transition is through a pitchfork bifurcation (PB) as has been noted before, but in chaotic systems it can be through a saddle-node or a trans- critical bifurcation depending on the nature of the underlying dynamics of the individual systems. The diversity of the routes and their dependence on the complex dynamics of the coupled systems not only broadens our understanding of this important phenomenon but can lead to potentially new practical applications.
WebSocket Integration in Django

description: Nowadays Web technologies have become more common as they improve the work of astronomers by easing, for example, the monitoring and analysing of data. The Django Python framework is one of the most widely used libraries for developing Web applications as it offers several advantages. However, the necessity of continuously deal with data in real time, such as tracking atmospheric parameters, analysing the evolution of the light curve during a transient event, displaying inline vector graphics for interactive plots and representation, has constantly grown in Astronomy and Astrophysics, and this has naturally involved in new challenges. Nevertheless the WebSocket protocol represents the best option to manage real-time data, but it is not supported by Django natively. This report provides an overview of the WebSocket protocol and advances the integration of a WebSocket server as a loosely coupled service within a Django application by illustrating a simple and non-invasive methodology, within a proof-of-concept using open source software, which avoid switching to new deployment architectures, with all its consequences. Such proposed technique can be applied to any generic scenarios, such as done for the TMSS project included in the report as use case example.
title: Stancetaking- und Positionierungsaktivitäten im Telegram-Diskurs zur Corona-Impfung
Creators: name: Aichinger, Sabrina
Year: 2023

description: Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist es, einen Blick auf Stancetaking- und Positionierungsaktivitäten im Diskurs zur Corona-Schutzimpfung zu werfen. Konkret geht es um die Frage, wie sich Verbreiter*innen ‚alternativer Fakten‘ rund um die Corona-Schutzimpfung im sozialen Netzwerk Telegram positionieren. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass sie sich als sogenannte ‚Gegen-Expert*innen‘ stilisieren, um sich im Diskurs Gehör zu verschaffen. Diese These beruht auf der Annahme, dass Verbreiter*innen ‚alternativer Fakten‘ bewusst ist, dass Expert*innen aufgrund ihrer sozialen Stellung und ihres Auftretens eine privilegierte Rolle im Diskurs einnehmen. Um ihr ‚Gegenwissen‘ also erfolgreich vorzubringen, versuchen sie, ihren Sprachgebrauch an jenen der Expert*innen anzupassen. Dabei stoßen sie jedoch auf ein Dilemma: Denn einerseits wollen sie ihre eigene Glaubwürdigkeit erhöhen, indem sie ihr Verhalten an das der Expert*innen angleichen. Andererseits müssen sie sich jedoch auch vom klassischen Expertentum abgrenzen. Daher wird angenommen, dass sie zwar ihr Sprachgebrauchsmuster an jenes der Expert*innen anpassen, diese jedoch im selben Zug mithilfe abwertender Ausdrücke diffamieren. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen wird auf unterschiedliche linguistische Analysekonzepte zurückgegriffen. Um zu untersuchen, wie mithilfe von Sprache Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede zu anderen Akteur*innen hergestellt und Wertungen ausgedrückt werden, wird das Nominationskonzept nach Bellmann (1996) und Girnth (1993, 2015) herangezogen. Um zu analysieren, welche sprachlichen Praktiken genutzt werden, um sich als Teil einer bestimmten sozialen Gruppe bzw. als Inhaber*in einer gesellschaftlichen Rolle darzustellen, wird eine Argumentations- und Toposanalyse durchgeführt. Es wird nicht nur dargestellt, welcher Grundstruktur Argumentationen in der Regel folgen (vgl. Toulmin 1958), sondern auch, wie sich Argumentationen in wissenschaftlichen Diskursen von alltagssprachlichen und öffentlichen unterscheiden. Dabei wird davon ausgegangen, dass wissenschaftliches Argumentieren im Gegensatz zu anderen Formen der Argumentation nicht auf wahrscheinlichen, sondern auf „wahre[n] oder sogar evidente[n] Prinzipien“ (Rapp & Wagner 2004: 18) beruht. Sollte es sich bei den untersuchten Daten nicht um ‚wissenschaftliche‘ Argumentationen handeln, wird herausgearbeitet, welche Topoi ihnen zugrunde liegen (vgl. dazu beispielsweise Kienpointner 1992; Wengeler 2007).

description: We experimentally observe a spontaneous temporal symmetry breaking instability in a coherently-driven passive optical Kerr resonator. The cavity is synchronously pumped by time-symmetric pulses yet we report output pulses with strongly asymmetric temporal and spectral intensity profiles, with up to 71% of the energy on the same side of the pump center frequency. The instability occurs above a certain pump power threshold but remarkably vanishes above a second threshold, in excellent agreement with theory. We also observe a generalized bistability in which an asymmetric output state coexists with a symmetric one in the same pumping conditions.

description: Distance measurements to molecular clouds are important, but are often made separately for each cloud of interest, employing very different different data and techniques. We present a large, homogeneous catalog of distances to molecular clouds, most of which are of unprecedented accuracy. We determine distances using optical photometry of stars along lines of sight toward these clouds, obtained from PanSTARRS-1. We simultaneously infer the reddenings and distances to these stars, tracking the full probability distribution function using a technique presented in Green et al. (2014). We fit these star-by-star measurements using a simple dust screen model to find the distance to each cloud. We thus estimate the distances to almost all of the clouds in the Magnani et al. (1985) catalog, as well as many other well-studied clouds, including Orion, Perseus, Taurus, Cepheus, Polaris, California, and Monoceros R2, avoiding only the inner Galaxy. Typical statistical uncertainties in the distances are 5%, though the systematic uncertainty stemming from the quality of our stellar models is about 10%. The resulting catalog is the largest catalog of accurate, directly-measured distances to molecular clouds. Our distance estimates are generally consistent with available distance estimates from the literature, though in some cases the literature estimates are off by a factor of more than two.

description: Multi-spacecraft observations are used to study the in-situ effects of a large CME erupting from the farside of the Sun on 3 November 2011, with particular emphasis on the associated solar energetic particle (SEP) event. At that time both Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft were located more than 90 degrees from Earth and could observe the CME eruption directly, with the CME visible on-disk from STEREO-B and off the limb from STEREO-A. Signatures of pressure variations in the corona such as deflected streamers were seen, indicating the presence of a coronal shock associated with this CME eruption. The evolution of the CME and an associated EUV wave were studied using EUV and coronagraph images. It was found that the lateral expansion of the CME low in the corona closely tracked the propagation of the EUV wave, with measured velocities of 240+/-19 km/s and 221+/-15 km/s for the CME and wave respectively. Solar energetic particles were observed arriving first at STEREO-A, followed by electrons at the Wind spacecraft at L1, then STEREO-B, and finally protons arriving simultaneously at Wind and STEREO-B. By carrying out velocity-dispersion analysis on the particles arriving at each location, it was found that energetic particles arriving at STEREO-A were released first and the release of particles arriving at STEREO-B was delayed by around 50 minutes. Analysis of the expansion of the CME to a wider longitude indicates that this delay is a result of the time taken for the edge of the CME to reach the footpoints of the magnetic-field lines connected to STEREO-B. The CME expansion is not seen to reach the magnetic footpoint of Wind at the time of solar particle release for the particles detected here, suggesting that these particles may not be associated with this CME.
Homogenization of coupled heat and moisture transport in masonry structures including interfaces

description: Homogenization of a simultaneous heat and moisture flow in a masonry wall is presented in this paper. The principle objective is to examine an impact of the assumed imperfect hydraulic contact on the resulting homogenized properties. Such a contact is characterized by a certain mismatching resistance allowing us to represent a discontinuous evolution of temperature and moisture fields across the interface, which is in general attributed to discontinuous capillary pressures caused by different pore size distributions of the adjacent porous materials. In achieving this, two particular laboratory experiments were performed to provide distributions of temperature and relative humidity in a sample of the masonry wall, which in turn served to extract the corresponding jumps and subsequently to obtain the required interface transition parameters by matching numerical predictions and experimental results. The results suggest a low importance of accounting for imperfect hydraulic contact for the derivation of macroscopic homogenized properties. On the other hand, they strongly support the need for a fully coupled multi-scale analysis due to significant dependence of the homogenized properties on actual moisture gradients and corresponding values of both macroscopic temperature and relative humidity.

description: We use mid-infrared to submillimeter data from the Spitzer, Herschel, and APEX telescopes to study the bright sub-mm source OMC-2 FIR 4. We find a point source at 8, 24, and 70 $μ$m, and a compact, but extended source at 160, 350, and 870 $μ$m. The peak of the emission from 8 to 70 $μ$m, attributed to the protostar associated with FIR 4, is displaced relative to the peak of the extended emission; the latter represents the large molecular core the protostar is embedded within. We determine that the protostar has a bolometric luminosity of 37 Lsun, although including more extended emission surrounding the point source raises this value to 86 Lsun. Radiative transfer models of the protostellar system fit the observed SED well and yield a total luminosity of most likely less than 100 Lsun. Our models suggest that the bolometric luminosity of the protostar could be just 12-14 Lsun, while the luminosity of the colder (~ 20 K) extended core could be around 100 Lsun, with a mass of about 27 Msun. Our derived luminosities for the protostar OMC-2 FIR 4 are in direct contradiction with previous claims of a total luminosity of 1000 Lsun (Crimier et al 2009). Furthermore, we find evidence from far-infrared molecular spectra (Kama et al. 2013, Manoj et al. 2013) and 3.6 cm emission (Reipurth et al 1999) that FIR 4 drives an outflow. The final stellar mass the protostar will ultimately achieve is uncertain due to its association with the large reservoir of mass found in the cold core.

description: In this paper we introduce PkANN, a freely available software package for interpolating the non-linear matter power spectrum, constructed using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). Previously, using Halofit to calculate matter power spectrum, we demonstrated that ANNs can make extremely quick and accurate predictions of the power spectrum. Now, using a suite of 6380 N-body simulations spanning 580 cosmologies, we train ANNs to predict the power spectrum over the cosmological parameter space spanning $3σ$ confidence level (CL) around the concordance cosmology. When presented with a set of cosmological parameters ($Ω_{\rm m} h^2, Ω_{\rm b} h^2, n_s, w, σ_8, \sum m_ν$ and redshift $z$), the trained ANN interpolates the power spectrum for $z\leq2$ at sub-per cent accuracy for modes up to $k\leq0.9\,h\textrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. PkANN is faster than computationally expensive N-body simulations, yet provides a worst-case error $<1$ per cent fit to the non-linear matter power spectrum deduced through N-body simulations. The overall precision of PkANN is set by the accuracy of our N-body simulations, at 5 per cent level for cosmological models with $\sum m_ν<0.5$ eV for all redshifts $z\leq2$. For models with $\sum m_ν>0.5$ eV, predictions are expected to be at 5 (10) per cent level for redshifts $z>1$ ($z\leq1$).

description: We describe the voting farm, a tool which implements a distributed software voting mechanism for a number of parallel message passing systems. The tool, developed in the framework of EFTOS (Embedded Fault-Tolerant Supercomputing), can be used in stand-alone mode or in conjunction with other EFTOS fault tolerance tools. In the former case, we describe how the mechanism can be exploited, e.g., to implement restoring organs ($N\!$-modular redundancy systems with $N\!$-replicated voters); in the latter case, we show how it is possible for the user to implement in an easy and effective way a number of different recovery strategies via a custom, high-level language. Combining such strategies with the basic fault masking capabilities of the voting tool makes it possible to set up complex fault-tolerant systems such as, for instance, $N$-and-$M$-spare systems or gracefully degrading voting farms. We also report about the impact that our tool can have on reliability, and we show how, besides structural design goals like fault transparency, our tool achieves replication transparency, a high degree of flexibility and ease-of-use, and good performance.

description: We report on experimental determinations of the temperature field in the interior (bulk) of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection for a cylindrical sample with aspect ratio (diameter over height) of 0.50, both in the classical and in the ultimate state. The Prandtl number was close to 0.8. We find a "logarithmic layer" in which the temperature varies as A*ln(z/L) + B with the distance z from the bottom plate of the sample. The amplitude A varies with radial position r. In the classical state these results are in good agreement with direct numerical simulations (DNS); in the ultimate state there are as yet no DNS. A close analogy between the temperature field in the classical state and the "Law of the Wall" for the time-averaged down-stream velocity in shear flow is discussed.

Évolution dans l'enseignement de l'oral au primaire en Alberta : une analyse comparative entre l'ancien et le nouveau curriculum de français langue première
Creators: Nancy Crousset
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Oral communication is generally neglected in the teaching of French in Canada. This situation is partially due to the limited place allotted to the development of oral skills in the Department of Education curricula. The goal of this research project is to compare Alberta’s former French first language curriculum (1998) to the new draft curriculum (2022) in order to verify the extent to which the place of oral French communication has changed. This analysis has shown that, in the new curriculum, the different components of oral communication are more developed including in the case of First Nations, Metis and Inuit perspectives, the oral objectives are more numerous and better defined, the oral genres are more clearly identified, and the elements of Francophone culture and identity elements take greater account of diversity. In general, the new curriculum places more emphasis on oral communication, although certain weaknesses remain.

L’oral est généralement le parent pauvre de l’enseignement du français au Canada. Cette situation est en partie due au peu de place accordée au développement de la compétence orale dans les curriculums ministériels. Le but de ce projet de recherche est de comparer l’ancien curriculum de français langue première en Alberta (1998) à l’ébauche du nouveau curriculum (2022) afin de vérifier dans quelle mesure la place de l’oral a évolué. L’analyse a montré que, dans le nouveau curriculum, les différents volets de la communication orale sont plus développés, les objets de l’oral sont plus nombreux et mieux cernés, les genres associés à l’oral sont plus clairement identifiés et les éléments reliés à la culture et à l’identité francophones tiennent davantage compte de la diversité. De façon générale, une place plus grande est accordée à l’oral dans le nouveau curriculum, même si quelques faiblesses ont été relevées.

On the ABJM four-point amplitude at three loops and BDS exponentiation
Creators: name: Bianchi, Marco S.

description: We study the three-loop four-point amplitude in ABJM theory. We determine the dual conformal invariant integrals with highest number of propagators and fix their coefficients by two-particle cuts. Evaluating such a combination of integrals in dimensional regularization we provide evidence for exponentiation of the amplitude, including the finite terms. In addition we show that the three-loop amplitude can be expressed in terms of classical polylogarithms of uniform degree of transcendentality.

description: We study the phenomenon of "crowding" near the largest eigenvalue $λ_{\max}$ of random $N \times N$ matrices belonging to the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) of random matrix theory. We focus on two distinct quantities: (i) the density of states (DOS) near $λ_{\max}$, $ρ_{\rm DOS}(r,N)$, which is the average density of eigenvalues located at a distance $r$ from $λ_{\max}$ and (ii) the probability density function of the gap between the first two largest eigenvalues, $p_{\rm GAP}(r,N)$. In the edge scaling limit where $r = {\cal O}(N^{-1/6})$, which is described by a double scaling limit of a system of unconventional orthogonal polynomials, we show that $ρ_{\rm DOS}(r,N)$ and $p_{\rm GAP}(r,N)$ are characterized by scaling functions which can be expressed in terms of the solution of a Lax pair associated to the Painlevé XXXIV equation. This provides an alternative and simpler expression for the gap distribution, which was recently studied by Witte, Bornemann and Forrester in Nonlinearity 26, 1799 (2013). Our expressions allow to obtain precise asymptotic behaviors of these scaling functions both for small and large arguments.

description: EChO is a three-modules (VNIR, SWIR, MWIR), highly integrated spectrometer, covering the wavelength range from 0.55 $μ$m, to 11.0 $μ$m. The baseline design includes the goal wavelength extension to 0.4 $μ$m while an optional LWIR module extends the range to the goal wavelength of 16.0 $μ$m. An Instrument Control Unit (ICU) is foreseen as the main electronic subsystem interfacing the spacecraft and collecting data from all the payload spectrometers modules. ICU is in charge of two main tasks: the overall payload control (Instrument Control Function) and the housekeepings and scientific data digital processing (Data Processing Function), including the lossless compression prior to store the science data to the Solid State Mass Memory of the Spacecraft. These two main tasks are accomplished thanks to the Payload On Board Software (P-OBSW) running on the ICU CPUs.

Quantifying the 'naturalness' of the curvaton model

description: We investigate the probability of obtaining an observable curvature perturbation, using as an example the minimal curvaton-higgs (MCH) model. We determine 'probably observable' and 'probably excluded' regions of parameter space assuming generic initial conditions and applying a stochastic approach for the curvaton's evolution during inflation. Inflation is assumed to last longer than the N_{obs} = 55 observable e-folds, and the total number of e-folds of inflation determines the particular ranges of parameters that are probable. For the MCH model, these 'probably observable' regions always lie within the range 8 x 10^4 GeV < m_σ < 2 x 10^7 GeV, where m_σ is the curvaton mass, and the Hubble scale at horizon exit is chosen as H_* = 10^{10} GeV. Because the 'probably observable' region depends on the total duration of inflation, information on parameters in the Lagrangian from particle physics and from precision CMB observables can therefore provide information about the total duration of inflation, not just the last N_{obs} e-folds. This method could also be applied to any model that contains additional scalar fields to determine the probability that these scalar fields contribute to the curvature perturbation.

Confining electrons on a topological insulator surface using potentials and a magnetic field

description: We study the effects of extended and localized potentials and a magnetic field on the Dirac electrons residing at the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator. We use a lattice model to numerically study the various states; we show how the potentials can be chosen in a way which effectively avoids the problem of fermion doubling on a lattice. We show that extended potentials of different shapes can give rise to states which propagate freely along the potential but decay exponentially away from it. For an infinitely long potential barrier, the dispersion and spin structure of these states are unusual and these can be varied continuously by changing the barrier strength. In the presence of a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the surface, these states become separated from the gapless surface states by a gap, thereby giving rise to a quasi-one-dimensional system. Similarly, a magnetic field along with a localized potential can give rise to exponentially localized states which are separated from the surface states by a gap and thereby form a zero-dimensional system. Finally, we show that a long barrier and an impurity potential can produce bound states which are localized at the impurity, and an "L"-shaped potential can have both bound states at the corner of the "L" and extended states which travel along the arms of the potential.

An exploration of Educational Psychologists’ views on the impact of remote consultations on attuned interactions

description: The thesis focuses on EPs’ experience of attuned interactions with service-users in the context of remote consultations. The design of the research project was qualitative in nature. Ten Educational Psychologists were recruited from nine different UK Educational Psychology Services (EPSs) and invited to attend interviews via Microsoft Teams. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data based on Braun and Clarke (2021)’s 6-step framework. The research findings suggest that EPs view that it is possible to maintain levels of attunement during remote consultations, for example, by receiving through nodding and smiling. Remote consultations also support addressing the power balance between the service users and professionals. Remote consultations are more accessible for some children and young people with additional needs because this type of consultation requires fewer social interactions, and may feel more comfortable for them. The findings also indicated that Video Enhanced Reflective Practice (VERP) and Video Interactive Guidance (VIG) training can be supportive for EPs in developing their awareness about the importance of empathy, person-centred practice, listening, reframing and displaying a friendly body posture during remote consultations. Nonetheless, some of the participants in the current study view being attuned with others as being in the nature of psychologists, rather than something that can be trained through VERP or VIG. It was also expressed that a clear understanding of remote consultation practice and equal opportunities for individuals to participate in them, are also important to maintain attuned interactions during remote consultations. The study concludes with the suggestion that EPSs may consider remote consultations as one of the options for consultations rather than a temporary way of working, because of their benefits for EPs, parents and children with needs. Furthermore, universities and EPSs may also consider providing more opportunities for EPs to engage in VERP and VIG training and delivery. Further research exploring the views of parents and children on remote consultations would be helpful to complement the perspectives of the EPs.

From sadness to anger: Public perception over Covid-19 news coverage in Indonesia

Subjects: Journalism studies
Media studies

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has driven up news media consumption worldwide. However, the concomitant rise of misinformation and disinformation has disrupted the dissemination of verified information, particularly in the digital media. The role of the press has been challenged. This research aims to measure the public perception of Covid-19 reporting in Indonesia and how the public responds to the news. This research processes data using text analysis and cross-tabulation to understand the pattern and correlation between variables. Most respondents agree that the media has done a good job in reporting on Covid-19 and distributing the information to the public, with few leaning towards a more neutral tone. However, social media ranks first as the most popular platform to search for Covid-19-related information, followed by online media and television. Despite the generally positive assessment over the role of media and the quality of Covid-19 reporting during the pandemic, most respondents limit the amount of time they spend on and the quantity of Covid-19-related news they consume as they experience sadness, loneliness, disappointment, anxiety, and anger.

description: We examine the reach at hadron colliders for the lightest warped Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton G_1 in the Z(->l+l-) Z(->nu nu) channel, l=e,mu, within Randall-Sundrum models of hierarchy and flavor where the Standard Model gauge fields and fermions propagate in the 5D bulk. The reconstructed Z and the accompanying large missing energy allow for an efficient suppression of backgrounds. For reasonable parameters, a ~2(2.6) TeV G_1 can be discovered at 5 sigma with 300 /fb (3 /ab) of 14 TeV LHC data via our "Z + missing energy" signal. Using this signal, the discovery reach for G_1 at a future 100 TeV pp collider is estimated to be as high as ~10 TeV. We discuss mass determination of the singly produced G_1, using the energy distribution of its visible (Z -> l+l-) decay product, by adapting a recently proposed method. Based on our analysis, a mass measurement at the ~5% level with ~3 /ab of the 14 TeV LHC data can be feasible.
