description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disease. Thus, drugs including donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine are not entirely effective in the treatment of this multifactorial disease. The present study evaluates eight derivatives (3a–3h) as candidates with stronger anti-AD potential but with less side effects. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays were used to assess oxidative stress which involve in the neurodegeneration. The neuroprotective properties of 3e against oxidative stress were done in three experiments using MTT test. The anti-AD potential was determined based on their anticholinesterase inhibition ability, determined using Ellman’s method, Aβ aggregation potential according to thioflavin (Th) fluorescence assay, and their antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Compound 3e exhibited moderate cholinesterase inhibition activity (AChE, IC50 = 0.131 µM; BuChE, IC50 = 0.116 µM; SI = 1.13), significant inhibition of Aβ(1–42) aggregation (55.7%, at 5 µM) and acceptable neuroprotective activity. Extensive analysis of in vitro and in vivo assays indicates that new cyclopentaquinoline derivatives offer promise as candidates for new anti-AD drugs.

description: This study aimed to formulate the green, sustainable, and ecofriendly nanobiopesticides of Azadirachta indica with enhanced pest control efficacy. Nanoprecipitation method was used for the development of nanobiopesticides. Optimisation was done by response surface methodology. Nanoformulations were characterised by zetasizer, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Pesticidal potential of nanosuspensions was evaluated by insecticide impregnated filter paper method. Optimised nanobiopesticide showed an average particle size of 275.8 ± 0.95 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) 0.351 ± 0.002, and zeta potential of –33 ± 0.90 mV. Nanobiopesticides exhibited significantly higher mortality rates of 86.81 ± 3.04 and 84.97 ± 2.83% against Tribolium castaneum and Ryzopertha dominica, respectively, as compared to their crude extract. Minor change in particle size from 275.8 ± 0.95 to 298.8 ± 1.00 nm and PDI from 0.351 ± 0.002 to 0.445 ± 0.02 were observed after 3 months of storage at 4 °C. Pesticidal efficacy of A. indica was significantly enhanced by the formulation of its nanobiopesticides.
The formation efficiency of close-in planets via Lidov-Kozai migration: analytic calculations

description: Lidov-Kozai oscillations of planets in stellar binaries, combined with tidal dissipation, can lead to the formation of hot Jupiters (HJs) or tidal disruption of planets. Recent population synthesis studies have found that the fraction of systems resulting in HJs (F_HJ) depends strongly on the planet mass, host stellar type and tidal dissipation strength, while the total migration fraction F_mig = F_ HJ + F_dis (including both HJ formation and tidal disruption) exhibits much weaker dependence. We present an analytical method for calculating F_HJ and F_mig in the Lidov-Kozai migration scenario. The key ingredient of our method is to determine the critical initial planet-binary inclination angle that drives the planet to reach sufficiently large eccentricity for efficient tidal dissipation or disruption. This calculation includes the effects of the octupole potential and short-range forces on the planet. Our analytical method reproduces the resulting planet migration/disruption fractions from population synthesis, and can be easily implemented for various planet, stellar/companion types, and for different distributions of initial planetary semi-major axes, binary separations and eccentricities. We extend our calculations to planets in the super-Earth mass range and discuss the conditions for such planets to survive Lidov-Kozai migration and form close-in rocky planets.

description: The covariance matrix of measurements of Markov random fields (processes) has useful properties that allow to develop effective computational algorithms for many problems in the study of Markov fields on the basis of field observations (parametric identification problems, filtering problems, interpolation problems and others). Therefore, approximation of arbitrary random fields by Markov fields is of great interest, as it gives an opportunity to use computationally efficient algorithms of Markov fields analysis to study them. The paper deals with approximation of the covariance matrix of the field being observed with the help of covariance matrix of a multiply connected (m-connected) Markov field. Using computer simulation, the accuracy of such replacements at different values of the connectivity coefficient m for the problem of parametric identification of deterministic component of the field has been studied. Various models of deterministic polynomial component of the field and a number of covariance functions that are often used as a mathematical model of real random noise and measurements noise have been reviewed. It has been shown that for many problems such approximation, even at small connectivity m values of approximating Markov field, provides necessary accuracy. This allows to achieve good compromise between accuracy of the estimates and complexity of calculating them.

From Domain Wall to Overlap in 2+1d

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The equivalence of domain wall and overlap fermion formulations is demonstrated for lattice gauge theories in 2+1 spacetime dimensions with parity-invariant mass terms. Even though the domain wall approach distinguishes propagation along a third direction with projectors ${1\over2}(1\pmγ_3)$, the truncated overlap operator obtained for finite wall separation $L_s$ is invariant under interchange of $γ_3$ and $γ_5$. In the limit $L_s\to\infty$ the resulting Ginsparg-Wilson relations recover the expected U($2N_f$) global symmetry up to O($a$) corrections. Finally it is shown that finite-$L_s$ corrections to bilinear condensates associated with dynamical mass generation are characterised by whether even powers of the symmetry-breaking mass are present; such terms are absent for antihermitian bilinears such as $i\barψγ_3ψ$, markedly improving the approach to the large-$L_s$ limit.

description: Mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 2 “IDH2m” acquires a neo-enzymatic activity reducing α-ketoglutarate to an oncometabolite, D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Three s-triazine series were designed and synthesised using enasidenib as a lead compound. In vitro anticancer screening via National Cancer Institute “NCI” revealed that analogues 6a, 6c, 6d, 7g, and 7l were most potent, with mean growth inhibition percentage “GI%” = 66.07, 66.00, 53.70, 35.10, and 81.15, respectively, followed by five-dose screening. Compounds 6c, 6e, and 7c were established as the best IDH2R140Q inhibitors compared to enasidenib, reporting IC50 = 101.70, 67.01, 88.93, and 75.51 nM, respectively. More importantly, 6c, 6e, and 7c displayed poor activity against the wild-type IDH2, IC50 = 2928, 2295, and 3128 nM, respectively, which implementing high selectivity and accordingly safety. Furthermore, 6c was screened for cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, and western blot analysis. Finally, computational tools were applied to predict physicochemical properties and binding poses in IDH2R140Q allosteric site.

description: The Earth's albedo is a fundamental climate parameter for understanding the radiation budget of the atmosphere. It has been traditionally measured from space platforms, but also from the ground for sixteen years from Big Bear Solar Observatory by observing the Moon. The photometric ratio of the dark (earthshine) to the bright (moonshine) sides of the Moon is used to determine nightly anomalies in the terrestrial albedo, with the aim is of quantifying sustained monthly, annual and/or decadal changes. We find two modest decadal scale cycles in the albedo, but with no significant net change over the sixteen years of accumulated data. Within the evolution of the two cycles, we find periods of sustained annual increases, followed by comparable sustained decreases in albedo. The evolution of the earthshine albedo is in remarkable agreement with that from the CERES instruments, although each method measures different slices of the Earth's Bond albedo.

description: In the present study, 5-arylidene rhodanine derivatives 3a–f, N-glucosylation rhodanine 6, S-glucosylation rhodanine 7, N-glucoside rhodanine 8 and S-glucosylation 5-arylidene rhodanines 13a–c were synthesised and screened for cytotoxicity against a panel of cancer cells with investigating the effective molecular target and mechanistic cell death. The anomers were separated by flash column chromatography and their configurations were assigned by NMR spectroscopy. The stable structures of the compounds under study were modelled on a molecular level, and DFT calculations were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31 + G (d,p) level to examine their electronic and geometric features. A good correlation between the quantum chemical descriptors and experimental observations was found. Interestingly, compound 6 induced potent cytotoxicity against MCF-7, HepG2 and A549 cells, with IC50 values of 11.7, 0.21, and 1.7 µM, compared to Dox 7.67, 8.28, and 6.62 µM, respectively. For the molecular target, compound 6 exhibited topoisomerase II inhibition and DNA intercalation with IC50 values of 6.9 and 19.6 µM, respectively compared to Dox (IC50 = 9.65 and 31.27 µM). Additionally, compound 6 treatmnet significantly activated apoptotic cell death in HepG2 cells by 80.7-fold, it induced total apoptosis by 34.73% (23.07% for early apoptosis, 11.66% for late apoptosis) compared to the untreated control group (0.43%) arresting the cell population at the S-phase by 49.6% compared to control 39.15%. Finally, compound 6 upregulated the apoptosis-related genes, while it inhibted the Bcl-2 expression. Hence, glucosylated rhodanines may serve as a promising drug candidates against cancer with promising topoisomerase II and DNA intercalation.

description: Variable X-ray absorption has been observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN) on several time scales. Observations allow us to identify the absorber with clouds associated either with the clumpy torus (parsec scales, long timescales) or with the broad line region (BLR) (short timescales). In the latter, the cloud size has been estimated to be of the order of few gravitational radii from the observed absorption variability. Such small cloud sizes are comparable to the X-ray emitting regions so that a detailed modeling of occultation events in AGN has the potential of enabling us to infer accurately the geometry of the system. We have developed a relativistic X-ray spectral model for occultation events and we present here theoretical predictions on the different observables that can be inferred by studying X-ray eclipses in simulated XMM-Newton data. These include the size of the X-ray emitting regions as well as more fundamental parameters such as the black hole spin and the system inclination. We find that absorption varies as a function of the energy range and that its maximum takes place when the approaching part of the accretion disc is covered. Therefore we study the hard-to-soft (H/S) ratio light curves produced during an eclipse and use them to characterise the properties of the inner accretion disc in a new model-independent way.

Policy recommendation

description: The COVID-19 pandemic caused huge backlogs and delays in healthcare, further worsening the situation of already vulnerable groups (e.g. migrants, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, homeless people). The interruption of services that were not considered essential (e.g. sexual and reproductive healthcare, rehabilitation, addiction treatment) took a tremendous toll on marginalised groups and communities. The lack of data on the health and wellbeing of people living outside the healthcare system is likely to result in a gross underestimation of the scale of the problem of unmet medical needs during and following the pandemic. In order to address systemic inequalities in healthcare, it is imperative to identify and recognise the categories of patients whose medical needs are most likely to be put on hold in times of crisis.

Especially for the potentially resonant transition into the 1204.2 keV excited state of $^{74}$Ge a lower half-life limit of $0.70\cdot 10^{19}$ yr (90% credibility) has been obtained. Serious concerns are raised about the validity of obtained $^{74}$Se limits in some recent publications.
title: The Impact of Conversational Turn-Taking on Vocabulary Size in Children with Developmental Disabilities Using Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Creators: name: Merilan, Syrina
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Conversational turn-taking in families with children who are typically developing has been shown to positively impact their childs receptive and expressive vocabulary scores (Gilkerson et al., 2018). However, limited research analyzes whether this relationship exists in children with developmental disabilities and limited speech ability. Research suggests that augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) facilities a greater vocabulary size in children with developmental disabilities (Romski et al., 2010), but it is unknown if conversational turn-taking impacts its success. This study examined the growth trajectory of conversational turn-taking throughout the AAC intervention. Additionally, it examined the impact of conversational turn-taking on the effectiveness of a 12-week augmented language intervention. The findings indicate that when participating in an AAC intervention, children and their communicative partners showed differing growth trajectories in conversational turns. Moreover, these children made greater gains in vocabulary size when exposed to larger amounts of conversational turns than children in spoken intervention.

description: The quantum spin Hall effect has been predicted theoretically and observed experimentally in InAs/GaSb quantum wells as a result of inverted band structures, for which electron bands in InAs layers are below heavy hole bands in GaSb layers in energy. The hybridization between electron bands and heavy hole bands leads to a hybridization gap away from k=0. A recent puzzling observation in experiments is that when the system is tuned to more inverted regime by a gate voltage (a larger inverted gap at k=0), the hybridization gap decreases. Motivated by this experiment, we explore the dependence of hybridization gap as a function of external electric fields based on the eight-band Kane model. We identify two regimes when varying electric fields: (1) both inverted and hybridization gaps increase and (2) inverted gap increases while hybridization gap decreases. Based on the effective model, we find that light-hole bands in GaSb layers play an important role in determining hybridization gap. In addition, a large external electric field can induce a strong Rashba splitting and also influence hybridization gap.

description: The injection of spin currents in semiconductors is one of the big challenges of spintronics. Motivated by the ultrafast demagnetisation and spin injection into metals, we propose an alternative femtosecond route based on the laser excitation of superdiffusive spin currents in a ferromagnet such as Ni. Our calculations show that even though only a fraction of the current crosses the Ni-Si interface, the laser-induced creation of strong transient electrical fields at a ferromagnet-semiconductor interface allows for the injection of chargeless spin currents with a record spin polarisations of 80%. Beyond that they are pulsed on the time scale of 100 femtoseconds which opens the door for new experiments and ultrafast spintronics.

description: We present a simple experimental scheme, based on standard atom optics techniques, to design highly versatile model systems for the study of single particle quantum transport phenomena. The scheme is based on a discrete set of free-particle momentum states that are coupled via momentum-changing two-photon Bragg transitions, driven by pairs of interfering laser beams. In the effective lattice models that are accessible, this scheme allows for single-site detection, as well as site-resolved and dynamical control over all system parameters. We discuss two possible implementations, based on state-preserving Bragg transitions and on state-changing Raman transitions, which respectively allow for the study of nearly arbitrary single particle Abelian U(1) and non-Abelian U(2) lattice models.

description: It is still unclear whether the Sagittarius spiral arm is a major spiral arm in the Galaxy or whether it just outlines a region of enhanced star formation because of the local compression of gas. The best way to separate these scenarios out is to study the kinematics across the arm to determine the velocity perturbation it induces. A survey of early-type stars in the direction of the Galactic center is performed covering an area of 100 square degrees with the aim of identifying candidates for a radial velocity study. Objective prism plates were obtained with the 4deg prism on the ESO Schmidt telescope using IIaO, 4415, and IIIaJ emulsions. The plates were digitized and more than 100k spectra were extracted down to a limiting magnitude of B = 15m. The spectra were cross-correlated with a template with Balmer lines, which yielded a candidate list of 12675 early-type stars. Magnitudes and equivalent widths of strong lines were calculated from the spectra, which allowed us to estimate the individual extinctions and distances for 11075 stars. The survey identified 9571 candidate stars with a spectral type earlier than A1 and B < 14.5m out to distances of more than 2kpc, which is beyond the Sagittarius arm. This is indicated by the increase of absorption in the plane at distances larger than 0.5kpc.

description: We measure the donor-bound electron longitudinal spin-relaxation time ($T_1$) as a function of magnetic field ($B$) in three high-purity direct-bandgap semiconductors: GaAs, InP, and CdTe, observing a maximum $T_1$ of $1.4~\text{ms}$, $0.4~\text{ms}$ and $1.2~\text{ms}$, respectively. In GaAs and InP at low magnetic field, up to $\sim2~\text{T}$, the spin-relaxation mechanism is strongly density and temperature dependent and is attributed to the random precession of the electron spin in hyperfine fields caused by the lattice nuclear spins. In all three semiconductors at high magnetic field, we observe a power-law dependence ${T_1 \propto B^{-ν}}$ with ${3\lesssim ν\lesssim 4}$. Our theory predicts that the direct spin-phonon interaction is important in all three materials in this regime in contrast to quantum dot structures. In addition, the "admixture" mechanism caused by Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling combined with single-phonon processes has a comparable contribution in GaAs. We find excellent agreement between high-field theory and experiment for GaAs and CdTe with no free parameters, however a significant discrepancy exists for InP.

description: We describe the version of the Temporal Variance Spectrum (TVS, Fullerton, Gies & Bolton 1996) method with pre-smoothed line profile (smoothed Temporal Variance Spectrum, smTVS). This method introduced by Kholtygin et al. (2003) can be used to detect the ultra weak variations of the line profile even for very noisy stellar spectra. We also describe how to estimate the mode of the non-radial pulsations (NRP) using the TVS and smTVS with different time spans. The influence of the rotational modulation of the line profile on the TVS is considered. The analysis of the contribution of NRP and rotational modulation in the global TVS is studied.

Prekäre Migration und Ausschluss:
Creators: name: Pfau, Jonas
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2008

description: There is a gap between the structure of trans-national illegal migration and its perception within predominant discourses. The true structure of illegal migration is mainly market-focused and, in spite of popular perceptions, regulated by various actors. However, discourse about migration operates with hysteric use of numbers, perceives migration in terms of criminality, stresses an exploitation of migrants by those helping in crossing the borders, and operates within racist ideologies. This is exemplified by the discursive identification of human smuggling and human trafficking, which de-legitimates and criminalizes escape aid. Migration is, therefore, determined by the paradigms: law, prejudice and market. The first two dominate the migration discourse, and the last structures migration patterns.

title: Individual and Prison Factors Influencing Incarcerated Adults Literacy and Numeracy Skills in the United States
Creators: name: Aldib, Roula

description:
Incarcerated adults demonstrate substantially weaker numeracy and literacy skills compared to adults in the general population; nonetheless, little is known about the skills of incarcerated adults. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine individual and prison factors influencing the literacy and numeracy skills of offenders in the United States. The sample included 1,247 inmates from the Program of International Assessment of Adult Competencies. Path analysis results revealed educational attainment, native language, and book exposure were statistically significant predictors of skills. Although demographics were related to differences in performance, these effects appeared to be related to other variables. Finally, prison job training and engagement in numeracy activities were statistically significant predictors for numeracy. Findings from this study provide empirical evidence on how prison factors may influence the literacy and numeracy performance of inmates from diverse backgrounds. The findings also suggest a need for a closer evaluation of prison programs.
Die Kategorie Zeit in der Geschichtsschreibung über das östliche Europa

description: This article focuses on the discourse of backwardness as an aspect of what has been recognized as the dominant trope in east European historiography until the end of the twentieth century, namely nationalism. Through a survey of east European historiographies, it demonstrates how different notions of temporality are employed. Eastern Europe as a whole and the particular problem of east European nationalism have been constituted as historical objects of study very much on the pattern of anthropological objects, through structural models of „timeless“ theory and method and bracketing out time as a dimension of intercultural study. The article proposes a way to circumvent the trap of origins, which carries backwardness as its corollary, by introducing the idea of relative synchronicity within a longue durée framework. This allows the description of a period in terms of linear consecutive developments but also as a dialogical process without overlooking important aspects of short-term historical analysis involving sequential development, transmission, and diffusion.

Egalität und Weltläufigkeit:
Creators: name: Maurer, Trude
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag

description: Egalitarian Structures and Cosmopolitan Outlook. ‚Modernity’ in the Professoriate and Universities of the Russian Empire Russian universities were explicitly modelled on the „European example“. This article traces that productive adaptation of a foreign model to the Tsarist Empire, a development resulting in universities more egalitarian than their model, e. g. German universities where many Russian professors received their training. Though designed to educate and train, the universities gradually included research, eventually making this a major requirement for an academic career. Alhough they were state employees, just as their German peers, Russian professors were more eager to serve ‚society’ as opposed to the ‚state’. Their demands for university reform and a constitutional system resulted from the (relative) freedom they had experienced abroad. Final proof of their independence, in regard to both the Russian state and their German teachers, was given during World War I, when many professors kept aloof from chauvinistic undertakings and even declined to exclude enemy aliens from (honorary) membership in Russian academic institutions.

description: Vom pato zur Wohnstube. Häuslichkeit, männlichkeit, religiöser Raum und alternative Archive im Ghana des 20. Jahrhunderts Die Missionare, die vor 150 Jahren im heutigen Südwest-Ghana ankamen, fanden eine Form häuslicher Architektur vor, die weitgehend von Gender-Prinzipien geprägt war. Jeder, der es sich leisten konnte, baute in seinem Gehöft einen auf drei Seiten geschlossenen Plattform (pato), wo er Besucher empfangen konnte. Ebenfalls wichtig war der Raum, in dem die sakralen Hocker der matrilinearen Ahnen aufbewahrt wurden. Mit der Ausbreitung des Christentums im frühen 20. Jahrhundert entstand eine neue Klasse gebildeter Männer, die zwar im Einklang mit den Forderungen der Missionare zusammen mit der Ehefrau und den Kindern in einem Haus wohnten, aber innerhalb davon eine Stube hatten, die einen männlichen Raum darstellte. Sie übernahm sowohl die Funktion des sakralen Hockerraums (sie war mit christlicher Ikonographie geschmückt und diente unter anderem als Gebetsraum) als auch die des Besucherraums. Dieser Wandel in der Architektur widerspiegelte den Übergang zu einem neuen Männertypus

description: In this paper we present a large-scale sensitivity study of reaction rates in the main component of the $s$ process. The aim of this study is to identify all rates, which have a global effect on the $s$ process abundance distribution and the three most important rates for the production of each isotope. We have performed a sensitivity study on the radiative $^{13}$C-pocket and on the convective thermal pulse, sites of the $s$ process in AGB stars. We identified 22 rates, which have the highest impact on the $s$-process abundances in AGB stars.

description: We demonstrate that active rotations in chemically signalling particles, such as autochemotactic {\it E. coli} close to walls, create a route for pattern formation based on a nonlinear yet deterministic instability mechanism. For slow rotations, we find a transient persistence of the uniform state, followed by a sudden formation of clusters contingent on locking of the average propulsion direction by chemotaxis. These clusters coarsen, which results in phase separation into a dense and a dilute region. Faster rotations arrest phase separation leading to a global travelling wave of rotors with synchronized roto-translational motion. Our results elucidate the physics resulting from the competition of two generic paradigms in active matter, chemotaxis and active rotations, and show that the latter provides a tool to design programmable self-assembly of active matter, for example to control coarsening.
