It is not mine. Surrogacy between Natural Body and Artificial Body
Creators: name: Viviani, Debora
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2017
Subjects: surrogacy, simulacrum, artificial body, surrogate mother

description: Drawing on Jean Baudrillard’s approach and his process of simulation, which is a useful key for interpreting and analysing the natural body-artificial body dichotomy, this article aims to raise questions about the repercussions that the new culture of the body and the practices associated with the medicalization of maternity have on the construction of personal and social identity. The debate encompasses issues in the realm of bioethics, the presence or absence of human rights, contractual exchange, the processes of commodification of the body, women and pregnancy, and processes that manipulate human life.

The scope of the observations thus extends to subjects such as bioethics, body ownership and the manipulation of life, to the point of questioning the construction of gender identity and even the very concept of mother.

The objective of this study is to render the complexity of the issue of surrogacy and highlight the resulting theoretical challenges faced by the social sciences. It is still essentially exploratory in nature and is intended as a starting point for the development of this research topic, raising certain questions in an attempt to provide the sociological debate with new theoretical and empirical challenges.

description: Wireless charging is a technology of transmitting power through an air gap to electrical devices for the purpose of energy replenishment. The recent progress in wireless charging techniques and development of commercial products have provided a promising alternative way to address the energy bottleneck of conventionally portable battery-powered devices. However, the incorporation of wireless charging into the existing wireless communication systems also brings along a series of challenging issues with regard to implementation, scheduling, and power management. In this article, we present a comprehensive overview of wireless charging techniques, the developments in technical standards, and their recent advances in network applications. In particular, with regard to network applications, we review the mobile charger dispatch strategies, static charger scheduling strategies and wireless charger deployment strategies. Additionally, we discuss open issues and challenges in implementing wireless charging technologies. Finally, we envision some practical future network applications of wireless charging.

description: Through my contact with migrants at a non-profit organisation in the province of Parma over the last few years I have become familiar with the ways in which they are received and introduced to the realities of their new world. I have been able to interact with many of them and discuss various subjects with some in English or more frequently French (as many come from countries that were at least historically French-speaking), with the help of an interpreter and/or a cultural mediator. The topics addressed range from life in their country of origin to their journey – often lasting years and involving sacrifices and potentially life-threatening dangers –, their attitude towards Italy and the Italians and their plans for the future.Some of these conversations were transcribed in texts, becoming something akin to life stories (Cipriani, 1989, 1996; Guidicini, 1995; Berteaux, Bichi, 2008; Aa.Vv., 2015). This article will cite extracts from these accounts in order to illustrate the ideas expressed. Due for future publication, the material in question is held at the archives of Svoltare, a non-profit organisation in Parma. More specifically, the interviewees whose stories are cited are: Mohamed Agahatti Toutta, born in 1985 in Danga, a small village in Mali; Omogbai Murana Prince, a 21-year-old from Auchi, the second most important city in Nigeria; Bamba Drissa, also in his early twenties, from the city of Abengourou in the south of Ivory Coast; and Zakhil Abdul Baseer, born in 1994, from the Afghan city of Bazarak, the administrative centre of the province of Panjshir.

description: We consider controllable linear discrete-time systems with bounded perturbations and present two methods to compute robust controlled invariant sets. The first method tolerates an arbitrarily small constraint violation to compute an arbitrarily precise outer approximation of the maximal robust controlled invariant set, while the second method provides an inner approximation. The outer approximation scheme is $δ$-complete, given that the constraint sets are formulated as finite unions of polytopes.

description: Since the accretion of knowledge is a cumulative endeavor, it is a problem that all course materials used by students in UNC's School of Information and Library Science disappears after the completion of each semester. To remedy this problem I propose using the LifeTime Library to archive the course materials for each class offered at SILS and make the archive available for students. By creating an easy to use template, adding metadata and rules, students can find information about classes they are interested in taking, as well as access old syllabi, PowerPoint slides, class lectures, assignments, and notes.

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in Type I+II Seesaw Models

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study neutrinoless double beta decay in left-right symmetric extension of the standard model with type I and type II seesaw origin of neutrino masses. Due to the enhanced gauge symmetry as well as extended scalar sector, there are several new physics sources of neutrinoless double beta decay in this model. Ignoring the left-right gauge boson mixing and heavy-light neutrino mixing, we first compute the contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay for type I and type II dominant seesaw separately and compare with the standard light neutrino contributions. We then repeat the exercise by considering the presence of both type I and type II seesaw, having non-negligible contributions to light neutrino masses and show the difference in results from individual seesaw cases. Assuming the new gauge bosons and scalars to be around a TeV, we constrain different parameters of the model including both heavy and light neutrino masses from the requirement of keeping the new physics contribution to neutrinoless double beta decay amplitude below the upper limit set by the GERDA experiment and also satisfying bounds from lepton flavor violation, cosmology and colliders.

description: Large scale digitization initiatives at archival institutions utilize different descriptive methodologies based on the format of material being digitized, the availability of resources, and the descriptive philosophy of the archivists leading each project. This paper gives the results of a study involving in-depth interviews with eight archivists leading and participating in large scale digitization initiatives for manuscript materials. The findings provide information on the current state of description utilized in the field of large-scale manuscript digitization, including the archivists' perceptions of the effect of their project's description on resource discoverability. The findings of this study can be used by archivists developing large scale digitization projects to determine the descriptive methodology that would be most effective for their project and user community.

description: We conducted an optical and near-infrared polarimetric observation of the highly dormant Jupiter-Family Comet, 209P/LINEAR. Because of its low activity, we were able to determine the linear polarization degrees of the coma dust particles and nucleus independently, that is $P_n$=30.3$^{+1.3}_{-0.9}$% at $α$=92.2$^\circ$ and $P_n$=31.0$^{+1.0}_{-0.7}$% at $α$=99.5$^\circ$ for the nucleus, and $P_c$=28.8$^{+0.4}_{-0.4}$% at $α$=92.2$^\circ$ and 29.6$^{+0.3}_{-0.3}$% at $α$=99.5$^\circ$ for the coma. We detected no significant variation in $P$ at the phase angle coverage of 92.2$^\circ$-99.5$^\circ$, which may imply that the obtained polarization degrees are nearly at maximum in the phase-polarization curves. By fitting with an empirical function, we obtained the maximum values of linear polarization degrees $P_\mathrm{max}$=30.8% for the nucleus and $P_\mathrm{max}$=29.6% for the dust coma. The $P_\mathrm{max}$ of the dust coma is consistent with those of dust-rich comets. The low geometric albedo of $P_v$=0.05 was derived from the slope-albedo relationship and was associated with high $P_\mathrm{max}$. We examined $P_\mathrm{max}$-albedo relations between asteroids and 209P, and found that the so-called Umov law seems to be applicable on this cometary surface.

description: We analyze the sample complexity of learning graphical games from purely behavioral data. We assume that we can only observe the players' joint actions and not their payoffs. We analyze the sufficient and necessary number of samples for the correct recovery of the set of pure-strategy Nash equilibria (PSNE) of the true game. Our analysis focuses on directed graphs with $n$ nodes and at most $k$ parents per node. Sparse graphs correspond to ${k \in O(1)}$ with respect to $n$, while dense graphs correspond to ${k \in O(n)}$. By using VC dimension arguments, we show that if the number of samples is greater than ${O(k n \log^2{n})}$ for sparse graphs or ${O(n^2 \log{n})}$ for dense graphs, then maximum likelihood estimation correctly recovers the PSNE with high probability. By using information-theoretic arguments, we show that if the number of samples is less than ${Ω(k n \log^2{n})}$ for sparse graphs or ${Ω(n^2 \log{n})}$ for dense graphs, then any conceivable method fails to recover the PSNE with arbitrary probability.

description: Multiple quantum beats of a system of the coherently excited quantum confined exciton states in a high-quality heterostructure with a wide InGaAs/GaAs quantum well are experimentally detected by the spectrally resolved pump-probe method for the first time. The beat signal is observed as at positive as at negative delays between the pump and probe pulses. A theoretical model is developed, which allows one to attribute the QBs at negative delay to the four-wave mixing (FWM) signal detected at the non-standard direction. The beat signal is strongly enhanced by the interference of the FWM wave with the polarization created by the probe pulse. At positive delay, the QBs are due to the mutual interference of the quantum confined exciton states. Several QB frequencies are observed in the experiments, which coincide with the interlevel spacings in the exciton system. The decay time for QBs is of order of several picoseconds at both the positive and negative delays. They are close to the relaxation time of exciton population that allows one to consider the exciton depopulation as the main mechanism of the coherence relaxation in the system under study.

title: Evaluating the effects of air pollution derived toxic nanoparticles on astrocyte reactivity and neurodegeneration
Creators: name: Villani, Beatrice
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: Particulate Matter is a toxicologically relevant air pollution component that has been shown to damage the cardiopulmonary system. Emission of ultrafine particulate matter – the most toxic type – is not regulated around the globe. Recent evidence from epidemiological studies, supported by a recent UK government COMEAP advisory report, states that exposure to these particles increases risk of dementia and cognitive decline. However, the variability in the design of public health studies, so-far, prevents confirmation of a causal link between specific types of air pollution associated particles and neurodegeneration, and few empirical analyses have assessed the effects of specific particles on brain derived cells. This research aimed to investigate the effects of ultrafine carbon black (UFCB), a surrogate air pollution derived nanoparticle, on primary cortical astrocyte reactivity and potential for subsequent neurotoxic or neuroprotective functions. Viability of primary human cortical astrocytes was measured, using the WST-1 assay, following exposure across a toxicologically relevant UFCB nanoparticle concentration range. qRT-PCR was used to investigate astrocyte reactivity, by via GFAP expression, and polarisation, by measuring expression of astrocyte genes linked to neurotoxic A1 (LCN2 and GBP2) or neuroprotective A2 (S100A10) states. Although not statistically significant, a trend to increased S100A10 expression, but no change in GBP2 or LCN2, was observed after UFCB exposure. Attempts were also made to measure levels of the astrocyte-specific pro-inflammatory marker LCN2 and the anti-inflammatory marker IL-6 in response to lethal and sub-lethal doses of UFCB. Lcn2 levels were below the limit of detection, but low levels of IL6 were measured in astrocyte conditioned media and were mainly unchanged by UFCB exposure. To further investigate the effects of UFCB exposure on neuronal toxicity, differentiated NT2 neuronal-like cells were treated with either UFCB-stimulated astrocyte conditioned media or direct UFCB and viability measured. Direct exposure to lethal and sub-lethal UFCB doses resulted to be toxic to differentiated NT2 neuronal-like cells, whereas conditioned media lead to negligible effects. These preliminary results indicate that acute exposure to UFCB leads to astrocytes adopting a more neuroprotective role and morphology, and that any toxic neuro-inflammatory responses to UFCB are not clearly astrocyte-mediated. Further research is required to confirm these findings.

description: Recently, Z.-W. Sun introduced two kinds of polynomials related to the Delannoy numbers, and proved some supercongruences on sums involving those polynomials. We deduce new summation formulas for squares of those polynomials and use them to prove that certain rational sums involving even powers of those polynomials are integers whenever they are evaluated at integers. This confirms two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun. We also conjecture that many of these results have neat $q$-analogues.

description: Motivated by the Dirac idea that fundamental constant are dynamical variables and by conjectures on quantum structure of spacetime at small distances, we consider the possibility that Planck constant $\hbar$ is a time depending quantity, undergoing random gaussian fluctuations around its measured constant mean value, with variance $σ^2$ and a typical correlation timescale $Δt$. We consider the case of propagation of a free particle and a one--dimensional harmonic oscillator coherent state, and show that the time evolution in both cases is different from the standard behaviour. Finally, we discuss how interferometric experiments or exploiting coherent electromagnetic fields in a cavity may put effective bounds on the value of $τ= σ^2 Δt$.

description: The University of the Philippines Open University has been at the forefront of providing Massive Open Online Courses to address knowledge and skill gaps, aiming to make education accessible and contributing to societal goals. Recognising challenges in student engagement and completion rates within Massive Open Online Courses, the authors conducted a study by incorporating gamification into one of the University of the Philippines Open University's Massive Open Online Courses to assess its impact on these aspects. Gamification involves integrating game elements to motivate and engage users. This study explored the incorporation of Moodle elements such as badges, leaderboards, and progress bars. Using Moodle analytics, the study also tracked student engagement, views, and posts throughout the course, offering valuable insights into the influence of gamification on user behaviour. Furthermore, the study delved into participant feedback gathered through post-evaluation surveys, providing a comprehensive understanding of their experiences with the gamified course design. With a 28.86% completion rate and positive participant reception, the study concluded that gamification can enhance learner motivation, participation, and overall satisfaction. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on innovative educational methods, positioning gamification as a promising avenue for creating interactive and impactful online learning experiences in the Philippines and beyond.
"The Library Has Been There": Public Library Response in Times of Community Social Crisis

description: This paper describes a series of case studies of public libraries during times of community social crisis. The responses of libraries were compared to historical examples of library responses to times of war and natural disasters, in order to determine how similar these responses were to other types of disaster response.Three cases were examined: the Ferguson Municipal Public Library in 2014, the Baltimore Enoch Pratt Free Library in 2015, and the Charlottesville Jefferson Madison Regional Library in 2017. Reports of the library’s actions and of the community’s response were collected from contemporaneous and retrospective news reports, interviews, and social media postings. These libraries seemed to exhibit several of the same patterns of behavior exhibited by libraries during times of war or after natural disasters. The closer the library response mimicked that of a library during war or natural disaster, the more positive the community response seemed to be.

description: First results of study of a soft photon yield at Nuclotron (LHEP, JINR) in nucleus-nucleus collisions at 3.5 GeV per nucleon are presented. These photons are registered by an BGO electromagnetic calorimeter built by SVD-2 Collaboration. The obtained spectra confirm the excessive yield in the energy region less than 50 MeV in comparison with theoretical estimations and agree with previous experiments at high-energy interactions.

description: Josephson circuits provide a realistic physical setup where the light-matter fine structure constant can become of order one, allowing to reach a regime dominated by non-perturbative effects beyond standard quantum optics. Simple processes, such as spontaneous emission, thus acquire a many-body character, that can be tackled using a new description of the time-dependent state vector in terms of quantum-superposed coherent states. We find that spontaneous atomic decay at ultrastrong coupling leads to the emission of spectrally broad Schrödinger cats rather than of monochromatic single photons. These cats states remain partially entangled with the emitter at intermediate stages of the dynamics, even after emission, due to a large separation in time scales between fast energy relaxation and exponentially slow decoherence. Once decoherence of the qubit is finally established, quantum information is completely transfered to the state of the emitted cat.

Killing 2-forms in dimension 4

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: A Killing $p$-form on a Riemannian manifold is a $p$-form whose covariant derivative is totally anti-symmetric. In this paper we give the complete (local) description of 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (M,g) carrying non-parallel Killing 2-forms $φ$. If $M$ is connected and oriented, we show that there exists a dense open subset of $M$ on which one of the three exclusive situations holds: either $ϕ$ is everywhere degenerate and $g$ is conformal to a product metric, or $g$ is conformal to an ambikähler metric obtained via the Calabi construction from a polarized Riemannian surface, or $g$ is conformal to an ambitoric structure of hyperbolic type, and depends locally on two functions of one variable. We also give compact examples, by constructing infinite-dimensional families of Riemannian metrics carrying Killing 2-forms of each of the above types on $S^4$ and on Hirzebruch surfaces.

Combining User Tagging and Automatically Generated Storyboards for Digital Video Retrieval: An Exploratory Study

description: This is an exploratory study investigating the concept of combining social and automated digital video surrogates with the intention of improving user understanding and retrieval of video. Videos were shown to participants who were then asked to tag the videos according to two systems. The control group tagged videos in the traditional manner of tagging the whole video in one input form. The experimental group tagged a storyboard with multiple input forms corresponding to the storyboard.  The findings of this study suggest that the implementation of a system that combines automatically generated storyboards with social tagging will significantly increase the number of tags that each user will add to a video. In all aspects of the results, there was significant increase in the amount of tags created in the storyboard system when compared to the traditional system of tagging an entire video. The results suggest that it is worth investigating in future work.

description: Ten years on from the death of the sociologist and philosopher Jean Baudrillard, the legacy of his thinking continues to bear fruit. It could almost be said that absence has bestowed even more generous gifts than presence. After all, death often played a dominant role in Baudrillard’s intellectual outlook. As the world advances into postmodernity, or whatever it will be called when it has been fully grasped, the perspectives in his works have become not only more valuable but also much clearer. For instance, the concept of simulacra, which is mapped out on an ever-increasing basis in technology, communication and everyday life, increasingly features as a cornerstone of meaningful interpretations of phenomenology.

What can the alignments of the velocity moments tell us about the nature of the potential?

description: We prove that, if the time-independent distribution function $F(v;x)$ of a steady-state stellar system is symmetric under velocity inversion such that $F(-v_1,v_2,v_3;x)=F(v_1,v_2,v_3;x)$ and the same for $v_2$ and $v_3$, where $(v_1,v_2,v_3)$ is the velocity component projected onto an orthogonal frame, then the potential within which the system is in equilibrium must be separable (i.e. the Staeckel potential). Furthermore, we find that the Jeans equations imply that, if all mixed second moments of the velocity vanish, that is, $\langle v_iv_j\rangle=0$ for any $i\ne j$, in some Staeckel coordinate system and the only non-vanishing fourth moments in the same coordinate are those in the form of $\langle v_i^4\rangle$ or $\langle v_i^2v_j^2\rangle$, then the potential must be separable in the same coordinates. Finally we also show that all second and fourth velocity moments of tracers with an odd power to the radial component $v_r$ being zero is a sufficient condition to guarantee the potential to be of the form $Φ=f(r)+r^{-2}g(θ,ϕ)$.
