description: We consider three-loop radiative-recoil corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium due to insertions of one-loop polarization operator in the muon factor. The contribution produced by electron polarization insertions are enhanced by the large logarithm of the electron-muon mass ratio. We obtained all single-logarithmic and nonlogarithmic radiative-recoil corrections of order $α^3(m/M)E_F$ generated by the diagrams with electron and muon polarization insertions.

description: A nova pandemia da Covid-19 pode levar a um aumento da vulnerabilidade das mulheres e da violência doméstica, incluindo física, psicológica, moral e patrimonial. Em escala global, como na Europa, Ásia, América do Norte e América do Sul, os crimes contra as mulheres se intensificaram porque as provocadas passam mais tempo com o agressor. Além disso, durante uma pandemia, ocorreram hospitalizações e foram reforçadas como leis para proteger as mulheres em situações de violência. O presente estudo irá identificar como evidências científicas na literatura quanto a incidência da violência doméstica no contexto da pandemia da covid-19. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura que será realizada nas bases de dados por meio da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS): Web of Science (WOS); Embase (Elsevier); Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS); Índice Cumulativo de Literatura de Enfermagem e Saúde Aliada (CINAHL) e Literatura Médica e Sistema Retrivial onLine (MEDLINE), de novembro de 2019 a outubro de 2021.

description: In this paper we study the reconstruction of a bandlimited signal from samples generated by the integrate and fire model. This sampler allows us to trade complexity in the reconstruction algorithms for simple hardware implementations, and is specially convenient in situations where the sampling device is limited in terms of power, area and bandwidth. Although perfect reconstruction for this sampler is impossible, we give a general approximate reconstruction procedure and bound the corresponding error. We also show the performance of the proposed algorithm through numerical simulations.

description: HD 100453 has an IR spectral energy distribution (SED) which can be fit with a power-law plus a blackbody. Previous analysis of the SED suggests that the system is a young Herbig Ae star with a gas-rich, flared disk. We reexamine the evolutionary state of the HD 100453 system by refining its age (based on a candidate low-mass companion) and by examining limits on the disk extent, mass accretion rate, and gas content of the disk environment. We confirm that HD 100453B is a common proper motion companion to HD 100453A, with a spectral type of M4.0V - M4.5V, and derive an age of 10 +/- 2 Myr. We find no evidence of mass accretion onto the star. Chandra ACIS-S imagery shows that the Herbig Ae star has L_X/L_Bol and an X-ray spectrum similar to non-accreting Beta Pic Moving Group early F stars. Moreover, the disk lacks the conspicuous Fe II emission and excess FUV continuum seen in spectra of actively accreting Herbig Ae stars, and from the FUV continuum, we find the accretion rate is < 1.4x10^-9 M_Sun yr^-1. A sensitive upper limit to the CO J = 3-2 intensity indicates that the gas in the outer disk is likely optically thin. Assuming a [CO]/[H2] abundance of 1x10^-4 and a depletion factor of 10^3, we find that the mass of cold molecular gas is less than ~0.33 M_J and that the gas-to-dust ratio is no more than ~4:1 in the outer disk. The combination of a high fractional IR excess luminosity, a relatively old age, an absence of accretion signatures, and an absence of detectable circumstellar molecular gas suggests that the HD 100453 system is in an unusual state of evolution between a gas-rich protoplanetary disk and a gas-poor debris disk.

The Defence of French: A language in Crisis?
Creators: name: Nisselson, Rachel
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: As Robin Adamson explains in The Defence of French: A Language in Crisis?, due to the long history of centralized power and of governmental control of language, the French have a singular relationship with their mother tongue. It is not surprising then that France’s defense of its language is uniquely passionate and uniquely polemical. By referencing past works on the subject, and through her own analysis of the history and current state of the defense of the French language, the author evaluates the situation, draws her own conclusions as to whether or not the language is endangered, and makes a prognosis about its future. Assisting the reader through this rather dense work is a list of the abbreviations of the 34 organizations and political bodies referenced throughout the work as well as frequent tables that depict timelines and break down the information into bite-sized pieces.

Hypoxia mimicry for enhancing regeneration and functional recovery following peripheral nerve injury
Creators: name: Smaila, Brittney
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) occur in 1-3% of patients with any trauma. While peripheral axons have the ability to regenerate at ~1-3 mm/day, the distance over which they must do so means lengthy recovery times associated with regenerative failure due to a decline in supporting cells’ ability to maintain axon growth. Successful axonal regeneration depends heavily upon the neuronal response to injury, and that of myeloid cells recruited to the damaged nerve. In injured regeneration-competent neurons, the transcriptomic changes that occur mirror those observed in hypoxia; hypoxia inducible factors (HIFs) effect some of these. HIF activity is governed in turn by the HIF-hydroxylases, prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) proteins and factor inhibiting HIF (FIH). Under normoxic conditions, HIF-hydroxylases act as master regulators of the hypoxia response, targeting HIFs for proteasomal degradation. I hypothesized that deleting any or all of the PHDs (PHD1, 2, and 3), or inhibiting PHDs pharmacologically, would induce a hypoxia response and enhance axonal regeneration and functional recovery following PNI. I used global PHD1 knockout, global PHD3 knockout, and heterozygous PHD2 transgenic mice, as well as non-transgenic mice treated with dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG), a pan-HIF-hydroxylase inhibitor. Using sciatic nerve models of injury, I assessed functional recovery at various time points post-injury using behavioural assays. I characterized macrophage and axon densities in the nerves after injury and assessed DMOG-induced changes in macrophage phenotype using FACS, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. I found that deletion of PHD1 or PHD3, or inhibition of all three PHDs resulted in earlier functional recovery after injury, increased macrophage infiltration in the injured nerve, an M2-skewed macrophage phenotype, and enhanced axonal regrowth. Additionally, deletion of any of the PHDs, or their inhibition by DMOG, resulted in improved electromyographical responses of the nerve one-month post-injury. These findings suggest that nerve repair can be aided by hypoxia-independent induction of the hypoxia response.

Language Planning and Policy in Latin America: Ecuador, Mexico, and Paraguay
Creators: name: Roberts, Elaine
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: The latest volume in the Language Planning and Policy series, co-edited by Baldauf and Kaplan, deals with three Latin American countries, Ecuador, Mexico, and Paraguay, which, while not geographically close, do share several key factors in relation to their language situation and corresponding governmental policy. Previous books in this series on Africa, Asia, and Europe have dealt with similar issues of linguistic diversity and political context, yet the study of these Latin American countries offers the unique and distinguishing characteristic of one official language impacting three separate countries. The objective of these studies, and in fact the series, is to address roughly two-dozen questions that bring to light the nature of language in these countries. The editors organize the questions into four sections: language profile, language spread, language policy and planning, and language maintenance and prospects.

description: Results on Lambda, Anti-lambda, and Xi- production in centrality selected Pb+Pb reactions at 40A and 158A GeV and in near-central C+C and Si+Si reactions at 158A GeV are presented. Transverse mass spectra, rapidity spectra, and multiplicities in dependence of the system size are discussed. Comparisons to transport models (UrQMD2.3 and HSD) and to the core-corona approach are performed. While Lambda and Anti-lambda production can be described by transport models reasonably well, these models do not agree with the Xi- measurements. On the other hand, the core-corona picture fits very well the system-size dependence of Lambda and Xi-, while it agrees less well with the Anti-lambda data.

description: The orbital diamagnetic susceptibility is calculated in monolayer and bilayer graphenes with band gap as well as in three-dimensional Dirac systems. It is demonstrated that the pseudo-spin degree of freedom such as valleys produces paramagnetic susceptibility in an equal manner as the real spin dominating over the Landau diamagnetism. The pseudo-spin paramagnetism explains the origin of a singular diamagnetism which is present only in the band-gap region and disappears rapidly inside the conduction and valence bands.

description: Single event effects generated by ionizing radiation cause a variety of problems inside satellitesup to mission failures. In case of COTS-based nanosatellites, much effort has to be investedin mitigation measures and redundancy concepts. Increasingly, longer mission durations aretargeted for imaging instruments used as remote sensing devices, e.g., to observe long-termclimate processes. Highly integrated System-on-Module (SoM) architectures enable high processing performance for imaging applications with low resource requirements in terms of powerand mass. The major advantages of these architectures are flexibility, (re)programmability,modularity and module reuse. In order to achieve a fault tolerant design we modeled the radiation environment, estimating the hazards at module level with the objective to reduce therisks to an acceptable level by applying appropriate mitigation techniques. This approach results in an electronics design that combines hardware and software redundancies paired withreconfiguration strategies to assure system availability and reliability for mission lifetime longerthan 3 years in Low-Earth-Orbits (LEO). In this contribution, we will present a dual-imagerelectronics that uses an SRAM-based Xilinx Zynq-7000 architecture, which can accommodatea wide variety of imaging sensors in visible and near infrared spectral range and is part of alimb sounding spatial heterodyne interferometer to measure temperatures in the atmosphere.This instrument is scheduled for the Atmospheric Coupling and Dynamics Explorer (ARCADE)mission inside the International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE) seriesof satellites.

description: We have successfully built and operated a source deployment system for the KamLAND detector. This system was used to position radioactive sources throughout the delicate 1-kton liquid scintillator volume, while meeting stringent material cleanliness, material compatibility, and safety requirements. The calibration data obtained with this device were used to fully characterize detector position and energy reconstruction biases. As a result, the uncertainty in the size of the detector fiducial volume was reduced by a factor of two. Prior to calibration with this system, the fiducial volume was the largest source of systematic uncertainty in measuring the number of anti-neutrinos detected by KamLAND. This paper describes the design, operation and performance of this unique calibration system.

Evaluating the ability of bioengineered microbes to reduce intestinal inflammation in the SHIP-deficient mouse model of Crohn’s disease-like ileitis
Creators: name: Ghesquiere, Chanel May
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by chronic, relapsing and remitting, or progressive disease. The two primary subtypes of IBD include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. SHIP deficient mice develop spontaneous, discontinuous, and fully penetrant CD-like ileitis. Our collaborator, Dr. Deanna Gibson’s, laboratory has developed two bioengineered strains of bacterial probiotics, BioPersist and BioColonize, which have demonstrated superior efficacy to reduce inflammation compared to their parent strains, E. coli Nissle, and L. reuteri, in two murine models of colitis. We predicted that these two bioengineered strains would be more effective at reducing ileitis in our SHIP-/- model than their parent strains. However, we did not observe any significant amelioration in gross pathology, histological disease, or ileal inflammatory cytokine concentrations in SHIP-deficient mice that received parent strains or bioengineered probiotics. Additionally, the inability to detect BioPersist and BioColonize in the ileum, the site of inflammation in SHIP-/- mice, indicates that these bacteria are unable to colonize the ileum in this mouse model. Therefore, our findings do not support the use of these probiotics to treat ileitis. These results have broader implications for human disease, since understanding that these probiotics are only effective at specific disease sites is important for clinical relevancy in IBD. In addition to bacterial probiotics, yeast-based therapies have demonstrated efficacy in both mouse and human studies of intestinal inflammation. Our collaborators at Renaissance BioSciences have developed a bioengineered strain of S. cerevisiae that expresses shRNA against the inflammatory cytokine IL-1β. This macrophage-derived cytokine is known to drive inflammation in SHIP deficient mice. We evaluated the ability of this yeast probiotic to reduce ileitis in the SHIP-/- mouse model. We demonstrated that S. cerevisiae reduces histological disease and ileal IL-1β concentrations in a dose-dependent manner, regardless of the presence or absence of the shRNA construct. This indicates that S. cerevisiae itself, and not the IL-1β shRNA, modestly reduces disease in the SHIP-deficient mouse model of ileitis. Thus, our findings suggest S. cerevisiae may be a novel therapeutic option for reducing ileitis; however, further studies are required to elucidate its mechanism of action.
Evaluating the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines Speaking Section
Creators: name: Tatton, Heather
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: The current ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines provide interesting descriptions of expected proficiency by level within the four skill areas. The most measurable feature of proficiency consistently mentioned is the quantity of utterances or text comprehended. At times, characteristics of production are mentioned; however, the vagueness of the descriptors leaves the reader with more questions than answers. Overall, the guidelines most lack measurable features and descriptions of the quality of the skills involved. Qualities of speech such as grammatical complexity, prosody, lexical variety, accuracy, and fluency all seem like obvious choices to assess in a proficiency situation. The ACTFL Guidelines, however, mention these only sporadically and without concrete descriptions of how to gauge them. If these guidelines were to be used to actually place individual learners into levels, there are no quantifiable measures with which to do so. For the purposes of this commentary, the Speaking Guidelines will be analyzed.

description: We have performed simulations to study how increasing humidity affects the structure of Nafion-like ionomers under conditions of low sulfonate concentration and low humidity. At the onset of membrane hydration, the clusters split into smaller parts. These subsequently swell, but then maintain constant the number of sulfonates per cluster. We find that the distribution of water in low-sulfonate membranes depends strongly on the sulfonate concentration. For a relatively low sulfonate concentration, nearly all the side-chain terminal groups are within cluster formations, and the average water loading per cluster matches the water content of membrane. However, for a relatively higher sulfonate concentration the water-to-sulfonate ratio becomes non-uniform. The clusters become wetter, while the inter-cluster bridges become drier. We note the formation of unusual shells of water-rich material that surround the sulfonate clusters.

New ideas like e.g. sweepers and preconditioners can be tested and first toy problems can be easily implemented. Time-parallel runs can be performed either in parallel using mpi4py or, in order to avoid technical or debugging issues, in serial using emulated parallelism.We will first give a brief introduction to the design, capabilities and limitations of the code. Then, if installation goes well, participants can create and run their own examples, and learn how to implement a new, time-parallel sweeper.For the hands-on session, participants need a Python installation (3.7 or above) with recent versions of the packages numpy, scipy, matplotlib, and mpi4py. We strongly recommend using a virtual environment with conda or mamba.

description: It is extremely important for language learners to be placed in level-appropriate classrooms for second or foreign language instruction. In order to effectively do so, instructors must be able to refer to a framework that outlines the variegated levels of language development. The ACTFL Guidelines have attempted to provide such a framework by denoting four, and sometimes five, developmental stages—Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Superior, and occasionally, Distinguished—for each language skill—listening, speaking, reading and writing. As a language learner becomes more advanced, more specific expectations are defined at each stage, which reflect the ultimate language goal: native-like production and utilization of the target language.

description: Belsat TV is one of the most successful projects of the Polish government, created with a goal of providing Belarusians with an alternative source of news that is broadcast in the Belarusian language. An enormous contribution of the journalists of Belsat TV in creating political transparency in Belarus by live streaming the events where the erosion of human rights could be found on full display made it a target of the Belarusian government’s persecution. During the ten years of the channel’s broadcasting to Belarus, the country’s authorities applied various methods of persecutions to hinder its works. The research of this Master’s thesis centers around the fluctuation in the Belarusian government’s repression of Belsat TV over the past decade. Comprehension of the reasons that cause these fluctuations can help policymakers of the countries that aspire to build stronger ties with Belarus to make more precise predictions about Lukashenko’s government’s response to a variety of their rapprochement tactics.

description: Educator-legislators serve a unique role in providing a practitioner perspective and a voice for educators and students in their policymaking position. However, the literature on legislative behavior and occupation lacks specific findings about educator-legislators and how a professional background as an educator impacts education policy. Furthermore, the literature on legislative behavior is heavily quantitative and provides no information on how a professional background may moderate behavior. To address these gaps in understanding, this study asks the following research questions: (1) How do current and former Texas State legislators with an occupational background as an educator make meaning of education within the policy context? (2) How does this meaning making of education impact their legislative behavior? Using a conceptual framework based on sensemaking, this study employs a multicase study model to generate a theory about meaning making and legislative behavior. The findings showed that educator-legislators have deeply-held core beliefs about the purpose of public education and the role of government in fulfilling that purpose that drive their policymaking, both in terms of behavior and approach. These beliefs are rooted in their professional identity but are also impacted by their political and personal identities. The theory generated by this study extends current thought about legislative behavior and provides a conceptual and methodological framework for future studies on similar topics.

Classical and Quantum Transport Through Entropic Barriers Modelled by Hardwall Hyperboloidal Constrictions
Creators: name: Hales, R.

description: We study the quantum transport through entropic barriers induced by hardwall constrictions of hyperboloidal shape in two and three spatial dimensions. Using the separability of the Schrodinger equation and the classical equations of motion for these geometries we study in detail the quantum transmission probabilities and the associated quantum resonances, and relate them to the classical phase structures which govern the transport through the constrictions. These classical phase structures are compared to the analogous structures which, as has been shown only recently, govern reaction type dynamics in smooth systems. Although the systems studied in this paper are special due their separability they can be taken as a guide to study entropic barriers resulting from constriction geometries that lead to non-separable dynamics.

Stroke Mimic Secondary to IV Fentanyl Administration
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Fentanyl is a potent opioid used commonly in acute care because of its rapid onset and short duration of action. It has fewer side effects when compared with commonly available opioids, such as morphine and hydromorphine. We report an unusual side effect of transient aphasia following fentanyl administration. A 61-year-old female presented for an elective embolization of a periophthalmic artery aneurysm. She developed immediate episodes of aphasia on two separate occasions following administration of intravenous (IV) fentanyl. The high lipid solubility explains the rapid onset of action of fentanyl as it rapidly passes through the blood–brain barrier and through cell membranes. Immediately following the administration of fentanyl, the patient developed aphasia. There were no other clinical or neurological imaging findings that could account for these symptoms. We believe that aphasia may be an unusual side effect of fentanyl, and it is something clinicians should be aware of

description: In this paper, we study the optimal training and data transmission strategies for block fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with feedback. We consider both the channel gain feedback (CGF) system and the channel covariance feedback (CCF) system. Using an accurate capacity lower bound as a figure of merit, we investigate the optimization problems on the temporal power allocation to training and data transmission as well as the training length. For CGF systems without feedback delay, we prove that the optimal solutions coincide with those for non-feedback systems. Moreover, we show that these solutions stay nearly optimal even in the presence of feedback delay. This finding is important for practical MIMO training design. For CCF systems, the optimal training length can be less than the number of transmit antennas, which is verified through numerical analysis. Taking this fact into account, we propose a simple yet near optimal transmission strategy for CCF systems, and derive the optimal temporal power allocation over pilot and data transmission.

Theater bootlegs : discourses on access and class in theater fandom

Bootleg

description: This thesis contributes to the growing field of theater audience studies by focusing on a particular theater fan practice: recording and watching bootlegs. While scholars have extensively researched bootlegs of music concerts, bootlegs of theater have not been studied even though they are a crucial aspect of the contemporary theater fandom experience. This is a significant gap in understanding how audiences relate to theater, especially because theater as a medium is relatively expensive and inaccessible. This thesis frames bootlegs as filling a demand for greater access to professional theater and considers the political ramifications of their circulation. To this end, I examine the construction of theater as a “high class” medium and how prioritizing the “liveness” of theater contributes to its exclusivity. I examine how these conceptions of theater permeate the discourses of theater producers and performers who condemn the recording of bootlegs. Finally, a survey of the community of theater bootleg traders illuminates the tensions that currently exist for bootleg traders as they attempt to circulate bootlegs while avoiding unwanted attention from theater producers.

Reflections on the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines
Creators: name: Sun, Yayun Anny
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: One strength of the ACTFL Guidelines is that they have been formulated based on a functional approach to language, which views language as a channel to express functional meaning. It focuses on what a learner can do with the language, which can be assessed by examining the learner’s performance in various contexts, and not on what the learner knows about the language. For instance, one criterion for the mid-intermediate listeners is the ability to comprehend short face-toface conversations and routine telephone conversations pertaining to basic personal needs (ACTFL, 1985). This type of description suggests that curriculum planning should prioritize and place practical language use in focus, instead of being driven by some arbitrarily chosen linguistic structures that may lack a sense of immediacy to the students. Curriculum with a functional orientation can be motivating to many students because students can directly see the improvements by comparing the tasks they were able to perform before and after the teaching. From a teacher’s perspective, I find these descriptive, open-ended guidelines (especially the ones for lower levels) helpful in providing benchmarks for my teaching, while allowing enough freedom for my own content selection.

Cluster Core Heating from Merging Subclusters

description: Though feedback from central active galactic nuclei provides an attractive solution to the problem of overcooling in galaxy cluster cores, another possible source of heating may come from ``sloshing'' of the cluster core gas initiated by mergers. We present a set of simulations of galaxy cluster mergers with subclusters in order to determine the amount of heating provided by the mechanism of sloshing, exploring a parameter space over mass ratio, impact parameter, and viscosity of the intracluster medium (ICM). Our results show that for sloshing caused by mergers with gasless subclusters cooling may be partially offset by heating from sloshing, but this mechanism is less effective if the ICM is viscous.

description: The Antarctic Multiband Infrared Camera (AMICA) is a double channel camera operating in the 2-28 micron infrared domain (KLMNQ bands) that will allow to characterize and exploit the exceptional advantages for Astronomy, expected from Dome C in Antarctica. The development of the camera control system is at its final stage. After the investigation of appropriate solutions against the critical environment, a reliable instrumentation has been developed. It is currently being integrated and tested to ensure the correct execution of automatic operations. Once it will be mounted on the International Robotic Antarctic Infrared Telescope (IRAIT), AMICA and its equipment will contribute to the accomplishment of a fully autonomous observatory.

An Evaluation of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines
Creators: name: Tu, Li-Hsin
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Reading through the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines for the first time, one may think that the criteria used to measure proficiency in second language (L2) listening, speaking, reading, and writing seem to make a lot of sense. One could assume that from the Novice level through the Intermediate level, then to the Advanced level and beyond, a learner would begin to acquire a L2 by first learning isolated words, often starting with cognates or borrowed words similar to those from the first language (L1). After having acquired many isolated points, the learner would then start to connect these points together to form lines and make comprehensible sentences. After that, the learner would learn to consider cultural context and the pragmatic aspects of language use, expanding the existing dimensions of context-independent lines to form a multi-dimensional knowledge base, working toward becoming more native-like in using the L2.

The ACTFL Guidelines: A Realistic View of Language that is Problematic for Assessment
Creators: name: Hall, Timothy
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2007

description: Ellis and Larsen-Freeman (2006) state that indices of language fluency and proficiency would be extremely valuable for researchers. Guidelines that provide benchmarks for development are useful for both inter-learner and intra-learner comparability. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines may be useful for their descriptive power and arguably realistic assumptions of language development. However, the nature of the guidelines’ construct paradoxically limits its usefulness. The following commentary will describe my perspective of the ACTFL’s view of language development and explain why the putative truths about language development and language use limit the utility of the scales.
