description: This paper describes the canonical quantization of the U(1) gauge field across all four regions in the Rindler coordinates in the Lorentz-covariant gauge. Concretely, in the four regions (future, past, left and right Rindler-wedges) in the Rindler coordinates, the gauge-fixed Lagrangian in the Lorentz-covariant gauge is obtained, which is composed of the U(1) gauge field, the B-field and ghost fields. Since the U(1) gauge and B-fields are decoupled from the ghost fields by the property of the U(1) gauge theory, the U(1) gauge field and the B-field are examined in this study. Then, by solving the equations of motion obtained from the gauge-fixed Lagrangian, the solutions of each mode of the U(1) gauge field and the B-field can be obtained. Following this, with the Klein-Gordon inner-product defined in the Rindler coordinates, the normalization constants of each of those mode-solutions are determined. Subsequently, formulating the canonical commutation relations of the U(1) gauge field and its canonical conjugate momentum, the equal-time commutation relations of the coefficient of each mode-solution in each direction of the U(1) gauge field in each region of the Rindler coordinates are obtained. From these, it can be seen that those coefficients have physical meaning as creation/annihilation operators. The polarization vectors in each region of the Rindler coordinates are also given in this study.

description: Zusammengefasst führte eine 6-OHDA-Läsion des rechten medialen Vorderhirnbündels von Ratten (Hemiparkinsonmodell) in unserer Studie zu keiner signifikanten Veränderung der Dichte von AMPA-, Kainat-, NMDA- oder mGlu2/3-Rezeptoren. Eine intrastriatale Botulinumneurotoxin-A (BoNT/A) Injektion führte weder bei gesunden Tieren, noch bei Hemiparkinsonratten, zu signifikanten Veränderungen der Dichte von AMPA-, Kainat-, NMDA- oder mGlu2/3-Rezeptoren.  Die intrastriatale BoNT/A-Injektion bleibt somit als potentielle Therapieoption des Morbus Parkinson bestehen.

description: This thesis concerns the generation of quantum states and the characterization of their nonclassical properties.
Therefore, an experimental technique to generate  squeezed vacuum and coherently displaced squeezed states is presented. In order to characterize nonclassical states, a new experimental technique, the homodyne cross correlation measurement, was realized, showing a so far unknown insight into the quantumness of a squeezed state. Also, an experimentally accessible witnessing approach for the degree of nonclassicality is presented for arbitrary quantum states.

description: In a recent breakthrough, Teyssier [Tey20] introduced a new method for approximating the distance from equilibrium of a random walk on a group. He used it to study the limit profile for the random transpositions card shuffle. His techniques were restricted to conjugacy-invariant random walks on groups; we derive similar approximation lemmas for random walks on homogeneous spaces and for general reversible Markov chains. We illustrate applications of these lemmas to some famous problems: the $k$-cycle shuffle, improving results of Hough [Hou16] and Berestycki, Schramm and Zeitouni [BSZ11]; the Ehrenfest urn diffusion with many urns, improving results of Ceccherini-Silberstein, Scarabotti and Tolli [CST07]; a Gibbs sampler, which is a fundamental tool in statistical physics, with Binomial prior and hypergeometric posterior, improving results of Diaconis, Khare and Saloff-Coste [DKS08].

description: We present a quantum algorithm to achieve higher-order transformations of Hamiltonian dynamics. Namely, the algorithm takes as input a finite number of queries to a black-box seed Hamiltonian dynamics to simulate a desired Hamiltonian. Our algorithm efficiently simulates linear transformations of any seed Hamiltonian with a bounded energy range consisting of a polynomial number of terms in system size, making use of only controlled-Pauli gates and time-correlated randomness. This algorithm is an instance of quantum functional programming, where the desired function is specified as a concatenation of higher-order quantum transformations. By way of example, we demonstrate the simulation of negative time-evolution and time-reversal, and perform a Hamiltonian learning task.

description: A l’ère de la Covid-19 et afin de gérer les perturbations afférentes à la conjoncture pandémique et discontinuité pédagogique, plusieurs gouvernements se sont penchés sur l’enseignement en distance comme réponse au défi et enjeux actuels. Dans le contexte marocain, le système éducatif n’a pas échappé à ce changement brutal et à ce nouvel écosystème d’enseignement-apprentissage imprévu. Dans ce sens, deux études sont apparues pour dresser l’état des lieux du télé-enseignement au Maroc à savoir : l’étude du Policy Center for the New South, qui a montré que la moitié des élèves ne disposent pas d’outil informatique (ordinateurs, tablettes et de connexion internet. Et celle du Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP) qui a révélé l’incapacité de l’enseignement à distance à couvrir tous les programmes et contenus scolaires et académiques, chose qui s’est soldée par une chute manifeste du niveau des apprenants et étudiants. Face à ce constat alarmant, et dans un tel écosystème, l'enseignement à distance en période de confinement, a minimisé les pertes d’apprentissage mais a aussi révélé un fossé numérique et une défaillance sans précédent.

description: Lesson planning forms a road-map for instructors to set learning objectives and ensure the way they should be presented. A lesson plan shows the instructor’s competence in combining theory and practice (Pang, 2016). Hence, using the objectives planned in the curriculum and students’ needs, instructors determine the form and content of their instruction, such as the lesson stages, activities, feedback techniques, assessment, time and class management, and materials and equipment needed for the lesson. In Morocco, since the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, lesson planning is designed not only for a face-to-face instruction but also for a computer assisted language learning (CALL) format. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate lesson plans designed for CALL lessons. The focus was to work on classes of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) as this field is relatively unexplored in Moroccan academia. The main explored aspects of CALL lesson planning are activities, feedback techniques, assessments, and time management considering the delivery mode which can be synchronous and/or asynchronous. The methodology follows a mixed method approach. Data was collected through semi structured interviews with ESP instructors and surveys were administered to students to determine their needs. The study showed that instructors faced challenges when switching their lesson plan design to a CALL format. They have also tried to adopt new teaching approaches, techniques, and learning tools to develop synchronous and asynchronous ESP lesson plans. Finally, the feedback from the students’ needs surveys provided insights about future course planning.

We prove in particular that the topological type of such a germ determines the combinatorics of its minimal resolution which factors through the blowup of its maximal ideal and through its Nash transform, as well as the polar curve and the discriminant curve of a generic plane projection, thus generalizing results of Spivakovsky and Bondil that were known for minimal surface singularities. In an appendix, we give a new example of a Lipschitz Normally Embedded surface singularity.

description: BackgroundIn the State of Qatar, where the population comprises 89.13% non-Arabic speakers, efficient communication in healthcare is crucial. The Hamad Medical Corporation Ambulance Service (HMCAS) faces unique challenges due to the language diversity of its patients and despite having staff from many nationalities. This study explored HMCAS staff opinion about the impact of language barriers on delivering pre-hospital emergency care in Qatar.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using a researcher-developed survey between January and February 2023. Using Solvin’s formula, the minimum sample size required for this survey was 295 staff members out of 1115 patient-facing staff. The Aiken V Content Validity Coefficient (CVC) was employed to assess content validity, whilst reliability was assessed via Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. Descriptive statistical analysis was subsequently undertaken for data interpretation.Results395 staff answered the survey. The study, with Cronbach alpha=0.88 and CVC=0,93, found that HMCAS staff spoke multiple languages but still faced occasional communication difficulties due to language barriers (Figures 1 and 2). While most responders found the information, they could gather from patients to be 'slightly sufficient,' the willingness to learn new languages was notably high. Most were 'somewhat comfortable' using a bystander as an interpreter and were generally satisfied with their ability to communicate with the patient's family. The majority believed that learning more languages could potentially be beneficial.ConclusionThe study highlighted the importance of addressing language barriers in pre-hospital settings in Qatar. It suggests that, despite a multilingual workforce, communication gaps could still potentially affect patient care. The high willingness among staff to learn additional languages presents an opportunity for training interventions, particularly in the context of global events. Therefore, policy changes aimed at language training could be instrumental in improving healthcare outcomes in a linguistically diverse setting.

description: Large pretrained masked language models have become state-of-the-art solutions for many NLP problems. The research has been mostly focused on English language, though. While massively multilingual models exist, studies have shown that monolingual models produce much better results. We train two trilingual BERT-like models, one for Finnish, Estonian, and English, the other for Croatian, Slovenian, and English. We evaluate their performance on several downstream tasks, NER, POS-tagging, and dependency parsing, using the multilingual BERT and XLM-R as baselines. The newly created FinEst BERT and CroSloEngual BERT improve the results on all tasks in most monolingual and cross-lingual situations

description: Due to COVID 19, Distance Education has suddenly and forcefully replaced face-to-face education in many parts of the world. This sudden transition not only has constituted a global phenomenon but also has brought with it some challenges and benefits. The latter have now become new realities in the educational sector of many countries. The present study reports the results of a case study in which over 134 engineer students of the ENSA Safi were surveyed through a questionnaire to investigate their perceptions about the benefits and challenges of online learning during the pandemic period. The findings of this study indicated that students showed a level of satisfaction with online learning since it provided them with the flexibility in learning. They also indicated that the virtual teaming experiences in the online courses were beneficial for them to develop virtual team skills. Yet, some of the students also indicated that online education displays some challenges; students found it difficult to communicate with their teachers and their classmates freely as they used to do in face-to-face education. Transition to distance learning as a result of covid‐19 has exposed some challenges as well as provided some benefits. Further studies and research are still needed not only to prove the utility of online education but also to provide the necessary data and findings on how effective this sudden change could be beneficial to students, staff, and the entire university system.

description: Drosophila (Sophophora) novitskii Sulerud and Miller
 Drosophila novitskii Sulerud and Miller, 1966: 470.
DIAGNOSIS: Males very distinctive, sex comb on ta1 having 6–8 teeth and ta2 having none, length of ta1 1.2× that of ta2; surstylus unique among New World species in lacking row of prensisetae; testes short and elliptical (vs. coiled).
TYPE: Sulerud and Miller (1966) reported the only specimens, from the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, in Gothic, Gunnison Co., Colorado, which is at an elevation of ca. 2900 m. I am unaware of any specimens that exist for this species, including the ones reported by these authors.
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: None.
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality in Colorado.
 COMMENTS: Drosophila alpina Burla, a Palearctic boreal-alpine species that was beautifully redescribed by Baechli et al. (2004), is another member of the obscura group that lacks a row of prensisetae on the surstylus. Drosophila alpina, however, has sex combs typical of the obscura subgroup, with ta1 and ta2 each having more than 10 teeth. Despite the unusual surstyli, D. novitskii and D. alpina are clearly unrelated.

description: A fascinating aspect of nature lies in its ability to produce a large and diverse collection of organisms that are all high-performing in their niche. By contrast, most AI algorithms focus on finding a single efficient solution to a given problem. Aiming for diversity in addition to performance is a convenient way to deal with the exploration-exploitation trade-off that plays a central role in learning. It also allows for increased robustness when the returned collection contains several working solutions to the considered problem, making it well-suited for real applications such as robotics. Quality-Diversity (QD) methods are evolutionary algorithms designed for this purpose. This paper proposes a novel algorithm, QDPG, which combines the strength of Policy Gradient algorithms and Quality Diversity approaches to produce a collection of diverse and high-performing neural policies in continuous control environments. The main contribution of this work is the introduction of a Diversity Policy Gradient (DPG) that exploits information at the time-step level to drive policies towards more diversity in a sample-efficient manner. Specifically, QDPG selects neural controllers from a MAP-Elites grid and uses two gradient-based mutation operators to improve both quality and diversity. Our results demonstrate that QDPG is significantly more sample-efficient than its evolutionary competitors.

Distant Learning in Morocco: Examining Students’ Attitudes and Motivation at the Tertiary Level
Creators: name: ELKHAYMA, Rachid

Subjects: Distant learning; attitudes; motivation; Moroccan students; university level.

description: The outbreak of Covid-19 has unprecedentedly evinced that online learning is the future of education. It offers abundant benefits and poses various challenges to learners and teachers alike. Some of these challenges represent the extent to which students are willing to take part in these classes, and how instructors and teachers can help them increase their motivation and develop positive attitudes towards their distant classes, the teachers and the course at large. In this context, this study empirically examines Moroccan students’ motivation for and attitudes towards online learning, and seeks to find practical techniques to improve their level of motivation and gain constructive perceptions of e-learning at large. The study adopts a predominantly quantitative method that makes use of 89 online questionnaires distributed to students from the Faculty of Languages and Arts in Ibn Tofail University. The findings revealed that the majority of students hold negative attitudes towards distant learning, which makes them lose motivation for these classes.

description: BackgroundAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting communication, social interaction, and behaviour. Family Education Programs (FEP) are vital for parents to manage the challenges associated with ASD in their children. The “EarlyBird” Program (EBP) is a well-established parental training program to improve the well-being of children and their family. The aim of this study was to determine parents’ benefits from attending EBP, particularly understanding autistic children's abilities and challenges, and utilizing effective strategies to support their child's development.MethodsThis is a pilot study. Between January and July 2023, 304 parents attended the EarlyBird Program. A stratified random sample of 150 parents were contacted via email or WhatsApp to complete the modified version of the National Autism Society's EBP questionnaires3, which are combined quantitative and qualitative questions designed to assess parental understanding and support of autistic children. 71 parents agreed to participate (47% response rate). Data from 71 completed surveys was analysed using descriptive statistical analysis (percentages and frequencies).ResultsMore than 84% of parents (n=60) reported a better understanding of ASD and how associated sensory issues impact on children’s communication and lives. Similarly, the majority of parents (N=61, ≈87%) reported that they had adopted communication strategies for managing their child's behavioral challenges. More than 86% (n=61) were willing to recommend the EBP to others (Figure 1).ConclusionEBP remarkably enhances parental knowledge, particularly regarding ASD-related sensory issues, autism-specific behaviours and communication strategies. Training has helped parents to create supportive environments for their children, facilitate effective communication with them and strengthen families’ approach. Moreover, it provides parents with effective coping strategies in dealing with challenges and enhances the family’s well-being. The small sample size of this pilot study limits the generalization of these findings. Well-designed larger studies are still needed for a better understanding of these effects.

description: We investigate whether the set of subfit elements of a distributive semilattice is an ideal. This question was raised by the second author at the BLAST conference in 2022. We show that in general it has a negative solution, however if the semilattice is a lattice, then the solution is positive. This is somewhat unexpected since, as we show, a semilattice is subfit if and only if so is its distributive lattice envelope.

description: O suicídio é uma das principais causas de morte no mundo, com cerca de 800 mil ocorrências diárias, segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (WHO, 2018). Dados apontam o crescimento das taxas de suicídio nas últimas décadas, especialmente em jovens (ROSENBERG et al., 1987; RODRIGUES; WERNECK, 2005; MACHADO; SANTOS, 2015). No Brasil, as taxas padronizadas de suicídio por idade indicam crescimento gradativo em ambos os sexos, de 1980 a 2014 (WHO, 2014). Entre 1979 e 1998, as taxas cresceram 43% entre jovens nas principais capitais brasileiras (SOUZA et al., 2002).

Os dados aqui apresentados descrevem a distribuição da mortalidade por suicídio nas capitais da Região Sudeste do Brasil de 1996 a 2015. No intuito de identificar mudanças anuais, utilizaram-se taxas específicas por faixa etária (suavizadas pelo método Loess), e calculadas taxas padronizadas, em homens e mulheres. Foi utilizado o método direto de padronização, tendo a população do Rio de Janeiro de 2015 como referência.
