Young Activists in Catholic Groups. Meanings of Participation Across the Boundaries of the Religious Field
Creators: name: Genova, Carlo
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: Most research about young people and religion in the Western context underlines their growing distance from institutionalised forms of religious participation, and explains it as a consequence of the weakness of their religious frames, as well as of other factors that interfere with the translation of these frames into forms of action. At the basis of this interpretation there is the hypothesis that these forms of participation are means of actualisation of religious values on the basis of religious beliefs and worldviews. Referring to recent research about young activists in Catholic groups in Italy, the article shows instead that their individual frames of involvement are variegated, and largely go beyond the boundaries of the religious field: religious factors are often not even considered as fundamental for collective identification, which is also rooted in shared non-religious distinctive meanings, practices and lifestyles.

title: Childhood in crisis: myth, reality or cause for concern? Perspectives from children, parents and the news media
Creators: name: Cox, Jane
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the notion of ‘childhood in crisis’ in the United Kingdom. My background reading revealed that this notion centred on multiple expressions of concern about the condition of contemporary childhood. Such concerns were based on an adult perspective of what childhood should be like and thus what constitutes a ‘good’ childhood. The firm commitment to the inclusion of children’s views in this study derives from an emerging, passionate, interest in children’s rights, particularly their participatory rights, whilst studying for my Early Childhood Studies degree in 1996-99. This study recognizes that childhood is affected by social context. Bronfrenbrenner’s (1979) Ecological Systems Theory is utilized to provide a framework for examining the construction of childhood in different social contexts in order to consider the question at the heart of this study: Is childhood in crisis? A number of (predominantly) qualitative data collection methods were used for this study. Findings are based on: a) the perspectives of children (aged 9-11 years) and their parents in two contrasting socio-economic areas of southeast England (the microsystem); b) the perspectives of the news media through an analysis of national and local news items (the exosystem); and c) literature review of the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Children Act 1989 (the macrosystem). The thesis concludes that the notion of ‘childhood in crisis’ is a myth as the emphasis on the singular childhood is problematic. My findings from the children and parents revealed that multiple realities existed with regard to ‘childhood’ and ‘crisis’, thus making a notion of ‘childhoods in crises’ more appropriate. Findings from the news media suggested a ‘crisis of representation’. A number of possible recommendations are offered for consideration in striving to achieve the ‘good’ childhood in the United Kingdom.

description: The problem of counting the $\mathbb{F}_q$-valued points of a variety has been well-studied from algebro-geometric, topological, and combinatorial perspectives. We explore a combinatorially flavored version of this problem studied by Anzis et al. (2018), which is similar to work of Kontsevich, Elkies, and Haglund. Anzis et al. considered the question: what is the probability that the determinant of a Jacobi-Trudi matrix vanishes if the variables are chosen uniformly at random from a finite field? They gave a formula for various partitions such as hooks, staircases, and rectangles. We give a formula for partitions whose parts form an arithmetic progression, verifying and generalizing one of their conjectures. More generally, we compute the probability of the determinant vanishing for a class of matrices (``multislant matrices'') made of Toeplitz blocks with certain properties. We furthermore show that the determinant of a skew Jacobi-Trudi matrix is equidistributed across the finite field if the skew partition is a ribbon.

An equilibrated fluxes approach to the certified descent algorithm for shape optimization using conforming finite element and discontinuous Galerkin discretizations
Creators: name: Giacomini, Matteo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The certified descent algorithm (CDA) is a gradient-based method for shape optimization which certifies that the direction computed using the shape gradient is a genuine descent direction for the objective functional under analysis. It relies on the computation of an upper bound of the error introduced by the finite element approximation of the shape gradient. In this paper, we present a goal-oriented error estimator which depends solely on local quantities and is fully-computable. By means of the equilibrated fluxes approach, we construct a unified strategy valid for both conforming finite element approximations and discontinuous Galerkin discretizations. The new variant of the CDA is tested on the inverse identification problem of electrical impedance tomography: both its ability to identify a genuine descent direction at each iteration and its reliable stopping criterion are confirmed.

description: Even though vaccination has been regarded as historically one of the most successful public health interventions, vaccine hesitancy still remains an important health issue. In order to explore this issue, the authors conducted four asynchronous online focus groups with the total of 40 Croatian citizens. Drawing on iterative thematic analysis, three emerging overarching reasons of vaccine hesitancy were determined: risk perception (cost-benefit ratio), belief in natural immunity and institutional distrust. In addition, three possible cross-cutting topics emerged: communication with healthcare workers, influence of media, social media and the Internet, and COVID-19 pandemic. A widespread dissatisfaction with healthcare workers is tentatively explained by proposing the concept of ‘false autonomy’ of patients when making vaccination decisions. As for the COVID-19 context, the participants often cited their awareness of the profit-driven healthcare system in conjunction with the development of COVID-19 vaccines. The authors conclude by framing the study results into the wider social context of individualistic consumerism, postmodern health beliefs and the characteristics of Croatian healthcare system, as well by calling for more in-depth studies of vaccine hesitancy.

Year: 2019

description: In this study, the influence of some processing techniques such as hydration, cooking, germination, fermentation and integrated process on nutritional and mineral composition, and some level of bioactive (saponin, phytate, tannins, oxalate, flavonoid and alkaloid) compounds of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa, Wild) flour was conducted. The physicochemical and functional properties, mineral bioavailability, water absorption kinetics and phytate and non phytate phosphorus contents of quinoa seeds were also investigated. The mean value on dry weight basis of raw quinoa seeds moisture content was 9.47%, crude protein 15.58%, crude fat 7.53%, crude, fiber 9.50%, total ash 6.50%, total carbohydrates 51.60% and gross energy 336.15 kcal/100g. The major mineral constituents of quinoa seeds were Ca (114.40 mg/100g), P (290.39mg/100g), K (730.70 mg/100g), Mg (195.64 mg/100g) Fe (13.50 mg/100g) and Zn (4.25 mg/100g). The saponins and alkaloids contents of raw quinoa seeds were 1.77%, and 8.25%; respectively. Whereas, phytate, tannins, oxalate, and flavonoid content of raw quinoa seeds were 756.16 mg/100g, 529.50 mg/100g, 29.61mg/100g, and 31.44 mg/100g; respectively. Crude protein, fiber, moisture, mineral bioavailability and non phytate phosphorus compositions were improved during processing methods. Significant reduction of bioactive compounds was achieved by the processing methods. Germination process at 48 and 72h enhance the value of alkaloids by 16.36 and 21.45% and flavonoids by 7.91 and 16.03% respectively compared to raw quinoa seeds. However, germination process reduces phytates, saponin, oxalate and tannins by 75, 72.32, 49.68 and 38 % respectively. And other processing methods like hydration, cooking, fermentation and integrated process were significantly reduce bioactive compounds in quinoa seeds. Furthermore, complete removal of all bioactive compounds was achieved by the fermentation process at 48 and 72hr, for phytate and flavonoid; respectively, Hydration and fermentation at 24 h, for flavonoid and alkaloid respectively, Germination followed by hydration for alkaloid and Fermentation of the germinated quinoa flour for saponin, phytate, flavonoid and alkaloid. Nutritionally dense cookies were prepared from the formulation of 30% fermented quinoa flour and combined process of fermentation and germination of quinoa flour with 70% wheat flour. The microbiological results showed the cookies produced were safe for consumption according to Codex Alimentarius. The cookies prepared from fermentation of the germinated quinoa flour were the most selected cookies by the panelist.

Risk Perception and COVID-19 During Lockdown: Evidence from an Italian Sample
Creators: name: Marchesi, Andrea
name: De Luigi, Nicola
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: This paper investigates how a specific extraordinary event such as the COVID-19 pandemic is perceived among individuals. Upsetting the taken-for-granted practices of people’s everyday life, the pandemic caused negative emotional responses, mainly the feeling of concern about its aftermath on health and social and economic aspects. However, these responses are not equally spread among social groups. Some of them are more associated with states of panic and anxiety, according to their socially defined and transmitted roles and identities. This paper focuses on a specific element of the perception of the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e. risk, based on a survey conducted in Italy (N = 1,704) during the last three weeks of lockdown (26th of April 2020 – 17th of May 2020). The analyses aim to detect patterns in socio-demographic variables in COVID-19 risk perception in the Italian population during lockdown, also accounting for their variation over time. In fact, the analyses suggest that approaching and being aware of the loosening of lockdown measures (18th of May 2020) may have decreased the perceived risk. Results prove consistent with findings from previous research.

description: We propose a novel scheme to efficiently tune the scattering length of two colliding ground-state atoms by off-resonantly coupling the scattering-state to an excited Rydberg-molecular state using laser light. For the s-wave scattering of two colliding ${^{87}}\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms, we demonstrate that the effective optical length and pole strength of this Rydberg optical Feshbach resonance can be tuned over several orders of magnitude, while incoherent processes and losses are minimised. Given the ubiquity of Rydberg molecular states, this technique should be generally applicable to homo-nuclear atomic pairs as well as to atomic mixtures with s-wave (or even p-wave) scattering.

 Type (lectotype, designated here):— JAPAN. Bonin: Hahajima, Sekimon-yama, 9 April 1934, T. Tuyama s.n. (TI [00518]!, isolectotypes TI [00505]!, TI [00506]!, TI [00507]!, TI [00508]!, TI [00509]!).
 Additional specimens examined:— JAPAN. Bonin: Hahajima, Sekimon-yama, July 1932, H. Hara s.n. (syntype, TI [00513]!); Bonin: Hahajima, Sekimon-yama, 9 August 1905, H. Hattori s.n. (paratypes, TI [00496]!, TI [00497]!, TI [00498]!, TI [00499]!, TI [00500]!).
 Distribution:— Japan (endemic to Hahajima in the Bonin Islands).
 Notes:— Tuyama (1935) simultaneously designated two specimens in TI as types, “ T. Tuyama, Apr. 9. 1934 ” as “typus ♀ ” and “ H. Hara, Jul. 1932 ” as “typus ♂,” which are therefore syntypes (Art. 9.5 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). He also cited two additional specimens without designating them as a type, and hence they are paratypes (see Art. 9.6 Note 5 Ex. 6 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012). Toyoda (1981) did not designate the lectotype since he cited both “ T. Tuyama, 1934, ♀ ” and “ H. Hara, 1932, ♂ ” as types. In TI, we found six duplicates of the former specimen and one sheet of the latter. In addition, one female specimen with an old “Typus” stamp (H. Hara T133, 28 June 1932; TI [00517]) was found.Although this specimen was collected by H. Hara in 1932, it is not a type because its collecting month is different from that of Hara’s syntype (TI [00513]). Herein, three sheets (TI [00505], [00506], and [00518]) of duplicates of Tuyama’s syntype were labeled as Procris boninensis Tuyama, but other sheets and Hara’s syntype were labeled as P. laevigata Blume. Of the former three, we designated the specimen with a Japanese name in Tuyama’s handwriting (TI [00518]), which had already been pressed with an old stamp of “Typus,” as the lectotype. In addition, for two paratypes cited in the protologue, we confirmed five duplicates of “ H. Hattori, Aug. 9. 1905,” of which one sheet is the same as the photo in the protologue. However, we could not find the other (“ T. Tuyama s.n., Aug. 5. 1933 ”) in TI or other herbaria.

description: In the context of the discrepancies between the early and late universe, we emphasize the importance of independent measurements of the cosmic curvature in the late universe. We present an investigation of the model-independent measurement of the cosmic curvature parameter $Ω_k$ in the late universe with the latest Hubble parameter $H(z)$ measurements and type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) data. For that, we use two reconstruction methods, the Gaussian process (GP) and artificial neural network (ANN) methods, to achieve the distance construction from $H(z)$ data. Our analysis reveals that the GP method provides the most precise constraint on $Ω_k$, with a constraint precision of $ξ(Ω_k)=0.13$, surpassing recent estimations using similar methods. The GP method consistently indicates a preference for a flat universe at the 2$σ$ confidence level. Moreover, we find that the choice of reconstruction method influences the estimation of $Ω_k$. The ANN reconstruction method exhibits higher sensitivity to the addition of BAO $H(z)$ data, resulting in comparable constraint precision to the GP method. A discrepancy exists between the best-fit values obtained by these two reconstruction methods, indicating their dependence on the reconstruction approach. However, we anticipate that with the improvement of sample size and precision of observational $H(z)$ data, the estimation of $Ω_k$ using this approach will become more robust and reliable.

Social Change and Failure. Individual Actions and Systemic Implications
Creators: name: Zotti, Angelo
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: The hypothesis supported in this paper is that individuals and groups can socialize themselves to negative events in very different, even opposite, ways. The two modes of perceiving and experiencing the failure selected here could be defined in terms of an ‘adaptive failure’ (a failure, even when macroscopic, does not necessarily determine a change of direction: lesson is not learned!) and a ‘strategic failure’ (the failure itself generates social change: trial and error). The aim of this paper is to offer a sociological explanation of these two ways of managing failure, by analyzing: i. the type of social action that is carried out by the agents in these cases; ii. the consequences that these dynamics generate on the physiognomy and structure of socio-cultural systems. The thesis is that an expressive type of action prevails in the first model. Individuals invest emotionally on social situations. This investment usually generates adaptation to the given conditions. As a result, it also adapts to failure. This is because the agents’ true intent is to maximize their advantage in every type of situation. Even in failure. In the second model, one imagines a strategic type of action that tends to achieve predefined goals. In this sense, without prejudice to the final objective, the failure imposes a change of strategy or it may have been planned (and put into account) as a necessary step to achieve the expected result.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: In present paper we evaluate the fine structure constant variation, that should take place as the Universe expands and its curvature is changed adiabatically. Such variation of the fine structure constant is attributed to an energy losses by an extended physical system (consist of baryonic component and electromagnetic field) due to expansion of our Universe. Obtained ratio (d alpha)/alpha = 1. 10{-18} (per second) is only five times smaller than actually reported experimental limit on this value. For this reason obtained variation can probably be measured within a couple of years. To argue the correctness of our approach we calculate the Planck constant as adiabatic invariant of the electromagnetic field propagated on a manifold characterized by slowly varied geometry, in the framework of the pseudo- Riemannian geometry. Finally we discuss the double clock experiment based on Al+ and Hg+ clocks carried out by T. Rosenband et al. (Science 2008). We show that in this case (when the fine structure constant is changed adiabatically) the method based on double clock experiment can not be applied to measure the fine structure constant variation.

description: Pulse controlled non-adiabatic quantum state transmission (QST) was proposed many years ago. However, in practice environmental noise inevitably damages communication quality in the proposal. In this paper, we study the optimally controlled non-adiabatic QST in the presence of quantum noise. By using the Adam algorithm, we find that the optimal pulse sequence can dramatically enhance the transmission fidelity of such an open system. In comparison with the idealized pulse sequence in a closed system, it is interesting to note that the improvement of the fidelity obtained by the Adam algorithm can even be better for a bath strongly coupled to the system. Furthermore, we find that the Adam algorithm remains powerful for different number of sites and different types of Lindblad operators, showing its universality in performing optimal control of quantum information processing tasks.

description: Melastoma tetramerum Hayata (1913: 120)
 Type (lectotype, designated here):— JAPAN. Bonin: Chichijima, Hatsune-ura, 25 July 1905, H. Hattori s.n. (TI [04105]!, isolectotype TI [04108]!).
 Additional specimens examined:— JAPAN. Bonin: Chichijima, Hatsune, 25 July 1905, H. Hattori s.n. (syntypes, TI [04106]!, TI [04107]!, TI [04116]!, TI [04117]!).
 Distribution:— Japan (endemic to Chichijima in the Bonin Islands).
 Notes:— Hayata (1913) indicated “Hab. Bonin: Chichijima-Hatsunejima, Juli. 1905, leg H. Hattori.” Toyoda (1981) recognized the specimen (H. Hattori, 1905) in TI as the type. We found six sheets that were collected from Chichijima by H. Hattori on 25 July 1905. All of them are regarded as the original material based on Hayata’s handwriting of “ Melastoma tetramerum Hay. ” on the label. However, their localities are not “Hatsunejima” in the protologue but “Hatsune-ura” for two sheets and “Hatsune” for four sheets. The difference in the locality name is probably an error in the protologue. We regarded these original material as the syntypes, which contain duplicates from two different localities. On one (TI [04105]) of the two duplicates from “Hatsune-ura,” a comment of “Very distinct for it tetramerous flowers and its leaves which are much smaller than these of any species of the genus,” which was consistent with a sentence in the protologue, was written in Hayata’s handwriting. We designated the specimen with the comment as the lectotype (see Rec. 9A.3 of the ICN, McNeill et al. 2012) and its duplicates (TI [04108]) as the isolectotypes.

description: We explore the use of galaxy bispectra with multitracer technique as a possible probe of primordial non-Gaussianities. We forecast future constraints on non-linearity parameters, $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm eq}$ and $f_{\rm NL}^{\rm orth}$, which respectively characterize the equilateral- and orthogonal-types primordial bispectra, and show that the multitracer analysis would be effective with reducing the cosmic-variance noise if the number density of galaxies is high enough. We find that the measurement of galaxy bispectrum by future galaxy surveys can reach the constraints on the non-local type primordial non-Gaussianities to the level severer than current one which has been obtained by cosmic microwave background observations.

description: Lignin was produced from Oil Palm biomass waste and converted to nano-size by a mechanical method (Ultrasonication). Prepared nano lignin was around 200 nm in size and showed better thermal performance compared to lignin. The size of the nano lignin remained unchanged at pH 7 over three months. Nano lignin was added to starch composites. They showed good mechanical, thermal and water resistance performance compared to lignin. Hence, nano lignin composites are a potential alternative to petroleum-based polymer packages for the food industry.

description: We explore the question of which shape a manifold is compelled to take when immersed in another one, provided it must be the extremum of some functional. We consider a family of functionals which depend quadratically on the extrinsic curvatures and on projections of the ambient curvatures. These functionals capture a number of physical setups ranging from holography to the study of membranes and elastica. We present a detailed derivation of the equations of motion, known as the shape equations, placing particular emphasis on the issue of gauge freedom in the choice of normal frame. We apply these equations to the particular case of holographic entanglement entropy for higher curvature three dimensional gravity and find new classes of entangling curves. In particular, we discuss the case of New Massive Gravity where we show that non-geodesic entangling curves have always a smaller on-shell value of the entropy functional. Then we apply this formalism to the computation of the entanglement entropy for dual logarithmic CFTs. Nevertheless, the correct value for the entanglement entropy is provided by geodesics. Then, we discuss the importance of these equations in the context of classical elastica and comment on terms that break gauge invariance.

description: Since its discovery a decade ago, "polar metallic phase" has ignited significant research interest, as it further functionalizes the switchable electric polarization of materials with additional transport capability, granting them great potential in next-generation electronic devices. The polar metallic phase is an unusual metallic phase of matter containing long-range ferroelectric (FE) order in the electronic and atomic structure. Distinct from the typical FE insulating phase, this phase spontaneously breaks the inversion symmetry but without global polarization. Unexpectedly, the FE order is found to be dramatically suppressed by carriers and destroyed at moderate ~10% carrier density. Here, we propose a general mechanism based on carrier-induced quantum fluctuations to explain this puzzling phenomenon. Basically, the quantum kinetic effect would drive the formation of polaronic quasi-particles made of the carriers and their surrounding dipoles. The disruption in dipolar directions can therefore weaken or even destroy the FE order. We demonstrate such polaron formation and the associated FE suppression via a simple model using exact diagonalization, perturbation, and quantum Monte Carlo approaches. This quantum mechanism also provides an intuitive picture for many puzzling experimental findings, thereby facilitating new designs of multifunctional FE electronic devices augmented with quantum effects.

description: Seepage through the earthen structures, such as dams, erodes the fine particles in the soil. This phenomenon, known as suffusion, degrades the hydraulic and mechanical performance of these structures, causing catastrophic failures. This study employs a novel integration of experimental, numerical, and statistical approaches to investigate the initiation and progression of suffusion. Moreover, the micro-scale effects of the migrating fines are estimated using X-ray CT scanning and numerical simulations. The final model indirectly estimates the probability of the suffusion progression using critical parameters like hydraulic conductivity of the soil, which can be readily measured in the lab.

Evaluation of Ethiopian Thyme (Thymus Schimperi R.) Antioxidant Activity and Its Preservative Effect on Some Food Products
Creators: name: Ashine, Gebrehana
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: The study was conducted with the objective of evaluating antioxidant activity of Thymus Schimperi and its preservative effect on oil, butter and meat. Thyme was prepared by investigating the effect of ethanol concentration (0-97%), extraction time (180-240 min) and extraction temperature (20-40℃) on its antioxidant activity and extract yield. Based on ANOVA analysis, extraction parameters have significant effect (P<0.05) on thyme antioxidant activity and its extract yield. The best levels of extraction parameters for higher antioxidant activity and extract yield were distilled water (0% ethanol concentration) for 210 min at 20℃. Antioxidant activity of thyme was evaluated by adding 0.1% thyme crude extract to refined soybean oil and butter. For comparison, 0.05% α-Tocopherol was added as positive control and none thyme extract was used as negative control. The results were expressed as induction time determined by Rancimat (hr) and Schaal Oven Test (day) methods. Induction time of thyme was 3.25±0.02 hr and six day when determined in soybean oil. But, α-Tocopherol has 4.98±0.10 hr and seven day induction time. Thyme has 5.28±0.08 hr induction time when evaluated in butter. The preservative effect of thyme was also studied by performing free fatty acid, Peroxide value, Acid value (on oil and butter); Aerobic plate count, Aerobic Mold & Yeast count and Enterobacteriaceae count on butter and meat. In the study, all samples were treated with 0, 0.1% and 0.2% levels of thyme extract and analysis were performed in weekly basis. Compared to thyme extract treated samples of oil and butter, control sample showed higher lipid oxidation rate in each storage weeks. Highest microbial load was obtained in controlled samples of butter and meat. Samples containing 0.2% thyme extract have lower count of total viable microbes, mold & yeast and enterobacteriaceae. Based on the results, samples with 0.2% thyme extract significantly (P<0.05) improved both the oxidative and microbial stability. Hence, Ethiopian thyme has antioxidant activity and preservative effect as evaluated on soybean oil, butter and meat. The preliminary techno-economic feasibility study also showed good profit margin and financial feasibility for crude thyme extract production. Keywords: antioxidant activity, induction time, thyme extract, thymus schimperi, preservative effect, protection factor.
