description: Background We examined characteristics associated with mpox vaccine uptake among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM), the primary target group for Australian vaccination programs following the mid-2022 global outbreak. Methods Vaccine uptake was assessed using national, repeated behavioural surveillance data of GBMSM (2022–23). Logistic regression examined: (1) no vaccination vs. partial/full vaccination, and (2) partial vs. full vaccination. Results Among 8,161 participants (83.9% gay, 94.7% cisgender male) who reported casual sex and no mpox diagnosis, 55.6% were unvaccinated, 13.5% received one mpox vaccine dose, and 30.9% two doses. Any vaccination was associated with: being >30 years old (aOR=1.25, 95%CI=1.10–1.43), living in suburbs with an estimated >5% gay male residents (aOR=1.41, 95%CI=1.24–1.60), being university-educated (aOR=1.25, 95%CI=1.11–1.42), greater social engagement with gay men (aOR=1.56, 95%CI=1.37–1.78), greater mpox knowledge (aOR=13.95, 95%CI=8.22–23.68), being a PrEP user vs. a HIV-negative non-user (aOR=3.28, 95%CI=2.85–3.76), testing for HIV in the last year vs. not (aOR=2.41, 95%CI=2.04–2.84), having >10 recent sexual partners (aOR=1.52, 95%CI=1.31–1.79), and meeting sex partners overseas (aOR=1.52, 95%CI=1.32–1.76). Bisexual participants were less likely to be vaccinated than gay men (aOR=0.72, 95%CI=0.59–0.89). Compared to partially-vaccinated participants, fully-vaccinated GBMSM were more likely to be: >30 years old (aOR=1.63, 95%CI=1.36–1.94), university-educated (aOR=1.24, 95%CI=1.04–1.47), PrEP users or people living with HIV vs. non-PrEP-users (aOR=1.42, 95%CI=1.17–1.73 and aOR=1.62, 95%CI=1.16–2.26, respectively), and tested for HIV in the last year (aOR=1.73, 95%CI=1.31–2.28). Fully-vaccinated participants were less likely to be born in Asia or Central/South America than Australia (aOR=0.62, 95%CI=0.48–0.81 and aOR=0.56, 95%CI=0.39–0.82, respectively). Conclusion Socially-connected GBMSM at potential risk of mpox were more likely to be vaccinated. 30% of participants did not complete the vaccine schedule. Encouraging younger, overseas-born Asian and Latinx GBMSM to complete the vaccine schedule could help prevent future outbreaks.

description: In recent decades, a growing number of discoveries in fields of mathematics have been assisted by computer algorithms, primarily for exploring large parameter spaces that humans would take too long to investigate. As computers and algorithms become more powerful, an intriguing possibility arises - the interplay between human intuition and computer algorithms can lead to discoveries of novel mathematical concepts that would otherwise remain elusive. To realize this perspective, we have developed a massively parallel computer algorithm that discovers an unprecedented number of continued fraction formulas for fundamental mathematical constants. The sheer number of formulas discovered by the algorithm unveils a novel mathematical structure that we call the conservative matrix field. Such matrix fields (1) unify thousands of existing formulas, (2) generate infinitely many new formulas, and most importantly, (3) lead to unexpected relations between different mathematical constants, including multiple integer values of the Riemann zeta function. Conservative matrix fields also enable new mathematical proofs of irrationality. In particular, we can use them to generalize the celebrated proof by Apéry for the irrationality of $ζ(3)$. Utilizing thousands of personal computers worldwide, our computer-supported research strategy demonstrates the power of experimental mathematics, highlighting the prospects of large-scale computational approaches to tackle longstanding open problems and discover unexpected connections across diverse fields of science.

description: We construct new exact solutions of the Georgi-Glashow model in $3+1$ dimensions. These configurations are periodic in time but lead to a stationary energy density and no energy flux. Nevertheless, they possess a characteristic frequency which manifests itself through non-trivial resonances on test fields. This allows us to interpret them as non-Abelian self sustained coils. We show that for larger energies a transition to chaotic behavior takes place, which we characterize by Poincaré sections, Fourier spectra and exponential growth of the geodesic deviation in an effective Jacobi metric, the latter triggered by parametric resonances.

description: Background: Amongst gay and bisexual men (GBM), new HIV notifications have declined in NSW over the last decade, but declines have not been evenly distributed. Young GBM and GBM outside inner-Sydney are priority populations in the NSW HIV Strategy 20212025, which recognises that stigma reduces access to HIV prevention, testing and treatment. We conducted a qualitative study to investigate experiences of stigma and healthcare access amongst these priority populations. Methods: In 2023, 32 GBM participated in semi-structured interviews. Almost all participants were cisgender men, most were gay (n=25), and others a mix of bi+ or queer. 14 were young (18-25 years); 16 lived in regional NSW, and 11 in Greater Western Sydney. Additionally, 5 were living with HIV; and 7 currently using PrEP. Data were analysed thematically, drawing on the concept of ‘patient work’, which describes the forms of labour that people undertake to engage with healthcare. Results: Our analysis identified various forms of patient work undertaken to manage anticipated stigma and disclosure of sexual orientation or HIV status in healthcare. Participants looked for cues from clinicians that disclosure would be safe and respected, such as clinicians asking open-ended questions about partners and sexual practices. Some reported instances of GPs refusing to provide PrEP prescribing, mostly occurring in Greater Western Sydney. To avoid stigma, some reported travelling further distances to services predicted to be safe and competent. Overall, participant accounts indicate that significant patient work is undertaken to access services and prevent stigma, exacerbated by fewer publicly funded and nonjudgemental services in some suburbs and regions. Conclusion: Although experiences of reported stigma in healthcare were low in this sample, anticipated stigma impacted decisions that GBM made about accessing healthcare. Focusing on patient work illuminates the labour that GBM engage in to access HIV and healthcare services, suggesting areas of unmet need in healthcare services.

description: Background: Since 1996, the Gay Community Periodic Surveys (GCPS) have formed a key part of Australia’s behavioural surveillance system for HIV, sexual health, and drug use. Following critical feedback from bi+ and trans communities, the GCPS was rebranded in 2024 as the GBQ+ Community Periodic Surveys, with redesigned questions to better reflect gender and sexuality diversity amongst previous and future respondents. Methods: We undertook a mixed method research study to lead and capture the redesign process. In 2023 we consulted the national GCPS advisory group multiple times, undertook cognitive interviewing with 30 gay, bi+, and queer men (cis and trans) and non-binary people on a proposed version of the questionnaire, to assess acceptability and comprehension. In January 2024, rapid field interviews (n=39) were undertaken with participants completing the new questionnaire during recruitment in Melbourne. Results: Consultation with the advisory group led to questionnaire redesign involving the adoption of gender-neutral language, a shift from an exclusive focus on anal sex, an increase in questions about sex with female partners, and new questions about nonbinary partners. Cognitive interviewing prompted refinements, including more inclusive wording of answer options (e.g. “Another term” rather than “Other”), and better recognition of non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships. Some trans men and non-binary participants indicated that while more inclusive, the questionnaire implied an overly cisgender and binary conceptualisation of men. Field interview participants were either largely positive or did not notice the questionnaire changes, suggesting high acceptability. Conclusion: The new questionnaire captures a broader range of sexual practices, and can identify HIV risks in new subgroups of GBQ men and non-binary people. Collected data will require careful assessment, particularly when comparing to past indicators. This successful redesign process conducted in collaboration with community members and stakeholders could be adapted to other repeated, longitudinal, and/or paper-based questionnaires to improve inclusivity.

description: Introduction: The negative attitudes people hold towards those who use alcohol or other drugs (AOD) can also affect the people who work with this community, leading to lowered productivity and wellbeing. The impact of this stigma by association in the AOD and harm reduction sector is particularly significant because workers may have lived experience of AOD use, and identify strongly with their client group. This study aimed to examine how stigma by association among health workers in the AOD/harm reduction sector relates to workplace outcomes. A secondary aim was to explore how lived experience (i.e., having previous or ongoing AOD use) influences experiences of stigma by association. Methods: Australian AOD/harm reduction workers (n=228) completed an online survey assessing stigma by association as well as various workplace outcomes measures. Results: Participants who reported experiencing more stigma by association experienced poorer workplace wellbeing, higher burnout, and greater intentions to leave the AOD/harm reduction field. Experiences of stigma by association were unrelated to job satisfaction. Additional analyses revealed that participants with lived experience reported higher levels of job satisfaction and lowered intentions to leave the sector, but findings of stigma by association and its impacts on workplace outcomes did not differ from those without lived experience. Participants also shared their experiences and thoughts about stigma by association in text entries within the survey. Conclusions: Identifying staff experiences of stigma by association and developing support and advocacy mechanisms to address this is likely to be key to reducing these experiences and ultimately to increasing positive workplace outcomes for AOD and harm reduction staff.

Linguistic Precedent as a Form of Linguistic Replication

Publisher: name: International Journal of Language & Law (JLL)
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines the interrelation of linguistic precedent and legal precedent, employing the lens of formulaic language as a bridge between these two domains. The first part of the paper is concerned with the argument that linguistic precedent is a form of linguistic replication. This argument is based on the premises that a) language repetition is a form of linguistic replication, b) that language use is a form of repetition and c) that linguistic precedent is a form of language use. The evidence for these premises is provided using insights and findings from Dawkins’ meme theory, linguistics, history of law and cognitive science. After that I explore the semantic aspects of linguistic precedent and I propose that linguistic precedent is a form of linguistic replication by means of which two or more situations are represented as being the same. After discussing the theoretical foundations of the notion of linguistic precedent I suggest that linguistic precedent indicates to the reader that there are some more general principles and rules that underlie legal reasoning. I further propose that it is on the basis of such generalized casuistic relations between linguistically chained cases or case-based reasoning, that legal precedent emerges.

description: Has EU anti-discrimination law developed in a straight line through the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU)? According to studies relying on path dependency theories, the answer would be yes. Studies relying on path dependence build on the premise that jurisprudence continues in a line of reasoning from the earliest to the latest judgments, and in different areas of the law, as a result of a lock-in process of analogical reasoning. In this article we show why the theoretical framework of path dependency cannot account for court driven legal development, specifically in the area of EU anti-discrimination law, and how difficult it is to empirically substantiate the argument of path dependency. We conduct an empirical test of the path dependency theory in CJEU’s case law within the area of anti-discrimination law. In order to do so, we build a case law citation network from where we can detect precedents as the most cited paragraphs of the cases. We explore the ways in which these precedents travel through the entire jurisprudence in flows of information and on this basis test for path dependency as similarity between citing and cited paragraphs. We find no signs of path dependency. The objective of this paper is to supplement the scholarship on path dependency by pointing to its limitations and methodological constraints. On the basis of our study, we propose to adjust the theory of case law development away from that of path dependency and towards what we choose to call case law which is dynamically consistent.

description: A 'planetary park' system has been suggested as a way for Mars to 'preserve' land for a multitude of purposes. These parks would represent a diverse portion of martian terrain and would be regulated to minimize human contamination and prevent excess human intervention. Such a planetary parks concept could also appeal to corporate interests as a compromise between protecting environmental interests and allowing private use of resources on Mars. This empirical study aims to help advance the core discussion of the interplay between future space activities and future preservation plans on Mars. Specifically, this work uses a particular strategic foresight method, the Policy Delphi, as a means to reveal positions on that issue and to explore alternative policy options in advance, through the collective judgment of a panel of experts. It should be noted that the goal was not strictly to promote consensus regarding the topic of interest, but to encourage structured dialogue. Consequently, the stable consensus achieved in specific areas indicated that the panel of experts foresees international cooperation on matters related to preservation plans for Mars, which, in turn, will enhance the overall international space governance. Furthermore, the panel foresees the inclusion of varying actors, both state and non-state ones, in the development of a preservation framework for Mars, especially on a national level. To this end, the panel endorses the inclusion of a diversity of values to be protected via the aforementioned framework, and suggests the advancement of broad global dialogue on this matter including academic, industrial, governmental, and public actors. The preliminary insights revealed in this work may inform relevant international discussions towards the formulation of proactive policies that will contribute to the environmental governance of future activities on Mars.

CJEU Case Law as a Source of Law in National Courts
Creators: name: Derlén, Mattias
Publisher: name: International Journal of Language & Law (JLL)
Year: 2024

description: A number of theories have demonstrated how the distinction between legislation and adjudication is becoming blurred, with judgments no longer treated solely as matters for the parties to the case, but as sources of law in their own right. Case law is increasingly being produced and consumed in a manner akin to legislation. On the production side, it is clear that the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), well-known for its formulas and tests, contributes to the use of case law as a source of law. This article develops the discussion in two ways. Firstly, it concentrates on the consumer perspective, by discussing the use of CJEU case law in national courts. Secondly, it advances the discussion from language in general, in the sense of drafting, to multilingualism ‒ the existence of not one but many official languages ‒ and the consequences for the use of CJEU case law as a source of law. This article demonstrates that national courts are prepared to engage with CJEU case law on a very detailed level, scrutinizing the wording and even comparing different language versions of the judgment to understand the correct way to apply the rule-like pronouncements of the CJEU. This scrutiny includes awareness of de jure and de facto originals of CJEU judgments, but goes still further through the use of the established approach for multilingual interpretation of EU legislation. It also highlights the use of standard phrases in CJEU case law and the consistency of translation.

description: We introduce `canonical' classes in the Selmer groups of certain Galois representations with a conjugate-symplectic symmetry. They are images of special cycles in unitary Shimura varieties, and defined uniquely up to a scalar. The construction is a slight refinement of one of Y. Liu, based on the conjectural modularity of Kudla's theta series of special cycles. For 2-dimensional representations, Theta cycles are (the Selmer images of) Heegner points. In general, they conjecturally exhibit an analogous strong relation with the Beilinson--Bloch--Kato conjectures in rank 1, for which we gather the available evidence.

Estimating Input Coefficients for Regional Input-Output Tables Using Deep Learning with Mixup

subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: An input-output table is an important data for analyzing the economic situation of a region. Generally, the input-output table for each region (regional input-output table) in Japan is not always publicly available, so it is necessary to estimate the table. In particular, various methods have been developed for estimating input coefficients, which are an important part of the input-output table. Currently, non-survey methods are often used to estimate input coefficients because they require less data and computation, but these methods have some problems, such as discarding information and requiring additional data for estimation.
 In this study, the input coefficients are estimated by approximating the generation process with an artificial neural network (ANN) to mitigate the problems of the non-survey methods and to estimate the input coefficients with higher precision. To avoid over-fitting due to the small data used, data augmentation, called mixup, is introduced to increase the data size by generating virtual regions through region composition and scaling.
 By comparing the estimates of the input coefficients with those of Japan as a whole, it is shown that the accuracy of the method of this research is higher and more stable than that of the conventional non-survey methods. In addition, the estimated input coefficients for the three cities in Japan are generally close to the published values for each city.

description: $α$-Sn is an elemental topological material, whose topological phases can be tuned by strain and magnetic field. Such tunability offers a substantial potential for topological electronics. However, InSb substrates, commonly used to stabilize $α$-Sn allotrope, suffer from parallel conduction, restricting transport investigations and potential applications. Here, the successful MBE growth of high-quality $α$-Sn layers on insulating, hybrid CdTe/GaAs(001) substrates, with bulk electron mobility approaching 20000 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ is reported. The electronic properties of the samples are systematically investigated by independent complementary techniques, enabling thorough characterization of the 3D Dirac (DSM) and Weyl (WSM) semimetal phases induced by the strains and magnetic field, respectively. Magneto-optical experiments, corroborated with band structure modeling, provide an exhaustive description of the bulk states in the DSM phase. The modeled electronic structure is directly observed in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, which reveals linearly dispersing bands near the Fermi level. The first detailed study of negative longitudinal magnetoresistance relates this effect to the chiral anomaly and, consequently, to the presence of WSM. Observation of the $π$ Berry phase in Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations agrees with the topologically non-trivial nature of the investigated samples. Our findings establish $α$-Sn as an attractive topological material for exploring relativistic physics and future applications.

The proposed device can also be utilized to create a broadband optical diode, which consists of two achromatic quarter-wave plates, one reciprocal and the other non-reciprocal, that are sandwiched between two polarizers aligned in parallel.

description: Let $Σ\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a $C^\infty$-smooth closed compact hypersurface, which splits the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ into two domains $Ω_\pm$. In this note self-adjoint Schrödinger operators with $δ$ and $δ'$-interactions supported on $Σ$ are studied. For large enough $m\in\mathbb{N}$ the difference of $m$th powers of resolvents of such a Schrödinger operator and the free Laplacian is known to belong to the trace class. We prove trace formulae, in which the trace of the resolvent power difference in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is written in terms of Neumann-to-Dirichlet maps on the boundary space $L^2(Σ)$.

description: Modern Radio Frequency (RF) digitizers support large tuning ranges and bandwidths, allowing for the capture of wide ranges of signals from various sources. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), embedded platforms and general purpose computers allow for fast, and often real-time, processing of the captured RF signals, performing radio operations in software. This is called software defined radio (SDR). While multiple in-orbit spacecraft utilize SDR platforms, most of the SDRs are configured and programmed prior to launch, and the configuration remains static throughout the mission. In this work, we present our work on reconfigurable SDRs that can be reconfigured and re-programmed from the ground while on-orbit.

De Facto Precedent at the Court of Justice of the European Union
Creators: name: Ng, Gar Yein
Publisher: name: International Journal of Language & Law (JLL)
Year: 2024

description: This paper seeks to demonstrate that although there is no official doctrine of precedent in judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the research affirms that there is a de facto system of precedent. This means that whilst, de jure, there is no official precedent status of the case law of the CJEU, the Court does give precedential value to its own case law through interpretive practices to ensure the uniform application of law and legal certainty throughout the Member States of the European Union (EU). When one looks at the elements of precedent it is apparent that this goes beyond its legal value (i.e. authority or bindingness) or conscious jurisprudential choice – language also plays a role. This article will examine discussions and models of precedent in common law and civil law legal systems in both theory and practice, before going on to examine the theories and practices of precedent at the CJEU.

Precedent in EU Law
Creators: name: Lasok, Paul
Publisher: name: International Journal of Language & Law (JLL)
Year: 2024

description: This paper sets out a practitioner’s view of both the nature of decisional practice, and precedents in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), based on some 40 years of experience of judicial disputes. I consider the specific case of CJEU precedents (including both the Court of Justice (ECJ) and the General Court (GC)), before moving on to comment on how EU precedents have been handled by the CJEU and, before Brexit, by English courts. From a practitioner’s perspective it is always necessary to take account of varying factors that may cause a court to decide one way rather than another. Accordingly, it is not sufficient to rely on an earlier decision as a precedent: the underlying justification for the precedent and its continuing relevance to the case in hand must always be borne in mind.

description: This paper introduces the special issue of JLL on Precedent in EU Law: The Linguistic Aspect. This introduction first sets out the context for the discussion of how language, multilingualism and translation may impact the development of a de facto precedent in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), and introduces the notion of linguistic precedent. Second, it provides an overview of the papers included in this special issue. This special issue is a follow-up on a number of workshops and discussions held in the context of the FP7-funded project Law and Language at the European Court of Justice between 2015‒2020. The contributions to the special issue, from scholars and practitioners, address various aspects of the linguistic element in the development of a de facto precedent in CJEU judgments. These reflections on linguistic precedent and how it relates to the formulation and application of ‘precedents’ in EU jurisprudence highlight an aspect of the interpretation and application of EU case law that has, to date, largely been ignored by scholars and practitioners. Drawing attention to this linguistic element in precedents and decisional practices allows for a more rounded understanding of how EU case law develops and functions.

description: The influence of node functionality (f) on the fracture of polymer networks remains unclear. While many studies have focused on multi-functional nodes with f>4, recent research suggests that networks with f=3 exhibit superior fracture properties compared to those with f=4. To clarify this discrepancy, we conducted phantom chain simulations for star-polymer networks varying f between 3 and 8. Our simulations utilized equimolar binary mixtures of star branch prepolymers with a uniform arm length. We employed a Brownian dynamics scheme to equilibrate sols and induce gelation through end-linking reactions. We prevented the formation of odd-order loops owing to the binary reaction and second-order loops algorithmically. We stored network structures at various conversion ratios (ϕ_c) and minimized energy to reduce computation costs induced by structural relaxation. We subjected the networks to stretching until fracture to determine stress and strain at break and work for fracture, ε_b, σ_b, and W_b. These fracture characteristics are highly dependent on ϕ_c for networks with small f but relatively insensitive for those with large f. Thus, the networks with small f exhibit greater fracture properties than those with large f at high ϕ_c, whereas the opposite relationship occurs at low ϕ_c. We analyzed ε_b, σ_b, and W_b concerning the cycle rank ξ and the broken strand fraction ϕ_bb. We found ε_b, σ_b/ϕ_bb, and W_b/ϕ_bb monotonically decrease with increasing ξ, and the data for various f and ϕ_c superpose with each other to draw master curves. These results imply that the mechanical superiority of the networks with small f comes from their smaller ξ that gives higher ε_b, σ_b/ϕ_bb, and W_b/ϕ_bb than the networks with large f.

description: High-aspect-ratio mechanical resonators are pivotal in precision sensing, from macroscopic gravitational wave detectors to nanoscale acoustics. However, fabrication challenges and high computational costs have limited the length-to-thickness ratio of these devices, leaving a largely unexplored regime in nano-engineering. We present nanomechanical resonators that extend centimeters in length yet retain nanometer thickness. We explore this expanded design space using an optimization approach which judiciously employs fast millimeter-scale simulations to steer the more computationally intensive centimeter-scale design optimization. By employing delicate nanofabrication techniques, our approach ensures high-yield realization, experimentally confirming room-temperature quality factors close to theoretical predictions. The synergy between nanofabrication, design optimization guided by machine learning, and precision engineering opens a solid-state path to room-temperature quality factors approaching 10 billion at kilohertz mechanical frequencies -- comparable to the performance of leading cryogenic resonators and levitated nanospheres, even under significantly less stringent temperature and vacuum conditions.
