description: We present a new family of regular black holes (RBH) in Pure Lovelock gravity, where the energy density is determined by the gravitational vacuum tension, which varies for each value of $n$ in each Lovelock case. Speculatively, our model may capture quantum effects through gravitational tension. In this way, a hypothetical analogy is drawn between the pair production ratio in the Schwinger effect and our energy density. A notable feature of our model is that the regular solution closely resembles the vacuum solution before reaching the event horizon. For odd $n$, the transverse geometry is spherical, with phase transitions occurring during evaporation, and the final state of this process is a remnant. For even $n$, the transverse geometry is non trivial and corresponds to a hyperboloid. In the case of $d=2n+1$ with even $n$, we find an RBH without a dS core and no inner horizon (whose presence has been recently debated in the literature due to the question of whether its presence is unstable or not), and no phase transitions. For $d > 2n + 1$ with even $n$, the RBH possesses both an event horizon and a cosmological horizon, also with no inner horizon present. The existence of the cosmological horizon arises without the usual requirement of a positive cosmological constant. From both numerical and analytical analysis, we deduce that as the event horizon expands and the cosmological horizon contracts, thermodynamic equilibrium is achieved in a remnant when the two horizons coincide.

description: Games play a very important role in promoting incidental learning and help in exploring both the conscious and subconscious processes such as insight of a learner. Digital Game-Based Learning and assessments are now an integral part of educational practices. When designed effectively digital games can take the learners from the stage of improvisation to a meta-reflection where they can apply the gained competencies/skills to real life situations. Increasing penetration of ICT into education and the disruptive educational technologies are making it possible not only to innovate but also to implement more and more exemplar teaching-learning pedagogies and assessment tools. Such innovations will shift the teaching-learning process from a rote learning process to an inclusive and individualized/personalized process. When developed properly, digital games can assess both procedural knowledge and declarative knowledge of the learners. One such technique of using digital games for assessment is stealth assessment (SA). They help in helps in assessing higher order thinking skills of students accurately and efficiently. SA adopts the approach of competency-based learning, where on the basis of performance of learners in the game their competencies are easily identified and are provided further tasks accordingly. The paper also discusses the challenges in development and implementation of SAs.

description: While researchers have been trying to understand the stress and fatigue among pilots, especially pilot trainees, and to develop stress/fatigue models to automate the process of detecting stress/fatigue, they often do not consider biases such as sex in those models. However, in a critical profession like aviation, where the demographic distribution is disproportionately skewed to one sex, it is urgent to mitigate biases for fair and safe model predictions. In this work, we investigate the perceived stress/fatigue of 69 college students, including 40 pilot trainees with around 63% male. We construct models with decision trees first without bias mitigation and then with bias mitigation using a threshold optimizer with demographic parity and equalized odds constraints 30 times with random instances. Using bias mitigation, we achieve improvements of 88.31% (demographic parity difference) and 54.26% (equalized odds difference), which are also found to be statistically significant.

description: Open Science is a recurrent topic in scientific discussion, with a current effort to make research more accessible, focusing in aspects such as reproducibility and re-usability. In this workshop, we will present a guided tour to LiveDocs: an initiative of the "Collaborative Research Center 1456 - Mathematics of Experiment" on tackling common issues of reproducibility and re-usability in scientific publications. LiveDocs is proposed as a platform to enable scientists to provide research findings under an interactive development environment, which allows users from a broader audience to easily reproduce research findings by re-running scripts, for instance, those that generate figures, tables, and other elements from scientific publications. LiveDocs enable the audience to interact with code and data in such environments, thus allowing users to explore algorithms, datasets and software interfaces. This approach lowers the barriers to access and comprehend research methods and findings, which facilitates more scientific exchange and fosters knowledge advancement.

description: In the healthcare industry, researchers have been developing machine learning models to automate diagnosing patients with respiratory illnesses based on their breathing patterns. However, these models do not consider the demographic biases, particularly sex bias, that often occur when models are trained with a skewed patient dataset. Hence, it is essential in such an important industry to reduce this bias so that models can make fair diagnoses. In this work, we examine the bias in models used to detect breathing patterns of two major respiratory diseases, i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and COVID-19. Using decision tree models trained with audio recordings of breathing patterns obtained from two open-source datasets consisting of 29 COPD and 680 COVID-19-positive patients, we analyze the effect of sex bias on the models. With a threshold optimizer and two constraints (demographic parity and equalized odds) to mitigate the bias, we witness 81.43% (demographic parity difference) and 71.81% (equalized odds difference) improvements. These findings are statistically significant.

Features and prospects for kilonova remnant detection with current and future surveys

description: We study the observable spectral and temporal properties of kilonova remnants (KNRs) analytically, and point out quantitative differences with respect to supernova remnants. We provide detection prospects of KNRs in the context of ongoing radio surveys. We find that there is a good chance to expect tens of these objects in future surveys with a flux threshold of $\sim 0.1$ mJy. Kilonova remnants from a postulated population of long-lived supermassive neutron star remnants of neutron star mergers are even more likely to be detected, as they are extremely bright and peak earlier. For an ongoing survey with a threshold of $\sim$ 1 mJy, we expect to find tens to hundreds of such objects if they are a significant fraction of the total kilonova (KN) population. Considering that there are no such promising KN candidates in presently ongoing surveys, we constrain the fraction of these extreme KN to be no more than 30 percent of the overall KN population. This constraint depends sensitively on the details of ejecta mass and external density distribution.

description: Mss 12 is a collected manuscript produced by several hands between the years 1553 and 1653. Mss 12,1, the first and most extensive section (pp. 1-147), details the mining regulations put in place in Lower Austria during the mid-16th century. It is a handwritten copy made from the official printed 'Bergk Ordnung', which was written at the court of the Archduke of Austria and printed by Hans Syngriener (Johann Singriener the Younger [? - 1562]) in Vienna in 1553 (Iron Library exemplar: EM/Cr 48). In a note after the index at the end of the manuscript Syngriener is mentioned by name (p. 147). Mss 12,1 begins with a statement establishing the authority of Ferdinand von Habsburg [1503-1564], who was then Archduke of Austria (pp. 1-2). There follows a series of 208 numbered articles which take into account a broad number of factors, from the manner in which mine pits and shafts were to be established, to the way in which older tunnels were to be treated and the employment of skilled labor (pp. 2-133). This section of the manuscript concludes with a closing statement (pp. 133-134) and a complete index of articles (pp. 135-147). Mss 12,2, the second section of the collected manuscript, provides a case study, describing the history and operation of iron mining and production in Upper Styria. The addendum to this report has marginalia produced in a distinctly different hand, providing supplementary comments. The manuscript was purchased in Vienna in 1956.

description: While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are critical for establishing the efficacy of new therapies, there are limitations regarding what comparisons can be made directly from trial data. RCTs are limited to a small number of comparator arms and often compare a new therapeutic to a standard of care which has already proven efficacious. It is sometimes of interest to estimate the efficacy of the new therapy relative to a treatment that was not evaluated in the same trial, such as a placebo or an alternative therapy that was evaluated in a different trial. Such dual-study comparisons are challenging because of potential differences between trial populations that can affect the outcome. In this article, two bridging estimators are considered that allow for comparisons of treatments evaluated in different trials, accounting for measured differences in trial populations. A "multi-span" estimator leverages a shared arm between two trials, while a "single-span" estimator does not require a shared arm. A diagnostic statistic that compares the outcome in the standardized shared arms is provided. The two estimators are compared in simulations, where both estimators demonstrate minimal empirical bias and nominal confidence interval coverage when the identification assumptions are met. The estimators are applied to data from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group 320 and 388 to compare the efficacy of two-drug vs four-drug antiretroviral therapy on CD4 cell counts among persons with advanced HIV. The single-span approach requires weaker identification assumptions and was more efficient in simulations and the application.

description:
OBJECTIVE: The significant cost burden of eating disorders (EDs) could be lessened with quicker access to treatment. Little is known about the time it takes to reach treatment. We aimed to examine the time to access treatment in New Zealand. METHOD: 468 respondents of the Costs of Eating Disorders online survey provided data including demographics; diagnoses; treatment journey, length of time to seek help; time to diagnosis after seeking help; GP referral to a specialist after diagnosis; and waiting time to see an EDs specialist. RESULTS: Half the sample took more than a year to seek help. Those with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge-eating disorder (BED) took significantly longer to seek help than those with anorexia nervosa and Other EDs. Once participants sought help, half the sample was diagnosed within 1 week. GPs referred most participants to an EDs specialist. Of those placed on a waiting list to see an EDs specialist, just under half were seen within 6 weeks, with no significant differences by diagnosis in waiting time. CONCLUSIONS: Improving the acceptability of seeking help, particularly in those with BN and BED, early recognition of symptoms, and improving treatment pathways are key to minimising longer term impacts.

description: We study the spherical accretion of magnetized plasma with low angular momentum onto a supermassive black hole, utilizing global general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Black hole-driven feedback in the form of magnetic eruptions and jets triggers magnetized turbulence in the surrounding medium. We find that when the Bondi radius exceeds a certain value relative to the black hole's gravitational radius, this turbulence restricts the subsequent inflow of magnetic flux, strongly suppressing the strength of the jet. Consequently, magnetically arrested disks and powerful jets are not a generic outcome of the accretion of magnetized plasma, even if there is an abundance of magnetic flux available in the system. However, if there is significant angular momentum in the inflowing gas, the eruption-driven turbulence is suppressed (sheared out), allowing for the presence of a powerful jet. Both the initially rotating and nonrotating flows go through periods of low and high gas angular momentum, showing that the angular momentum content of the inflowing gas is not just a feature of the ambient medium, but is strongly modified by the eruption and jet-driven black hole feedback. In the lower-angular-momentum states, our results predict that there should be dynamically strong magnetic fields on horizon scales, but no powerful jet; this state may be consistent with Sgr A* in the Galactic center.

In Study 1, we synthesized 161 meta-analyses of physical activity interventions to examine the relationship between intervention dosage and intervention impact on physical activity. Study 2 comprised a reanalysis of primary studies. RESULTS: The relationship between the indices of dosage and intervention effect sizes was assessed in 23.6% of meta-analyses, and associations did not differ from zero in 70%-85% of tests (Study 1). In Study 2, we retrieved 838 tests for duration, 370 tests for the number of sessions, and 167 tests for contact time. Duration had a very small negative association with effect sizes (b = -.002, 95% confidence interval [-.003, -.001]); number of sessions and contact time were not related to intervention effectiveness. An exploratory study (N = 50) indicated that health psychology researchers overestimated the association between dosage and effect sizes (restimates > .25). CONCLUSIONS: Although physical activity interventions with a higher dosage are expected to be more effective, the findings showed no relationship between dosage and intervention impact. Intervention dosage may moderate the influence of intervention content rather than directly determine physical activity change. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

INTRODUCTION: We currently lack speech testing materials faithful to broader aspects of real-world auditory scenes such as speech directivity and extended high frequency (EHF; > 8 kHz) content that have demonstrable effects on speech perception. Here, we describe the development of a multidirectional, high-fidelity speech corpus using multichannel anechoic recordings that can be used for future studies of speech perception in complex environments by diverse listeners. DESIGN: Fifteen male and 15 female talkers (21.3-60.5 years) recorded Bamford-Kowal-Bench (BKB) Standard Sentence Test lists, digits 0-10, and a 2.5-min unscripted narrative. Recordings were made in an anechoic chamber with 17 free-field condenser microphones spanning 0°-180° azimuth angle around the talker using a 48 kHz sampling rate. RESULTS: Recordings resulted in a large corpus containing four BKB lists, 10 digits, and narratives produced by 30 talkers, and an additional 17 BKB lists (21 total) produced by a subset of six talkers. CONCLUSIONS: The goal of this study was to create an anechoic, high-fidelity, multidirectional speech corpus using standard speech materials. More naturalistic narratives, useful for the creation of babble noise and speech maskers, were also recorded. A large group of 30 talkers permits testers to select speech materials based on talker characteristics relevant to a specific task. The resulting speech corpus allows for more diverse and precise speech recognition testing, including testing effects of speech directivity and EHF content. Recordings are publicly available.

description: While typical qualitative T1-weighted magnetic resonance images reflect scanner and protocol differences, quantitative T1 mapping aims to measure T1 independent of these effects. Changes in T1 in the brain reflect structural changes in brain tissue. Magnetization-prepared two rapid acquisition gradient echo (MP2RAGE) is an acquisition protocol that allows for efficient T1 mapping with a much lower scan time per slab compared to multi-TI inversion recovery (IR) protocols. We collect and register B1-corrected MP2RAGE acquisitions with an additional inversion time (MP3RAGE) alongside multi-TI selective inversion recovery acquisitions for four subjects. We use a maximum a posteriori (MAP) T1 estimation method for both MP2RAGE and compare to typical point estimate MP2RAGE T1 mapping, finding no bias from MAP MP2RAGE but a sensitivity to B1 inhomogeneities with MAP MP3RAGE. We demonstrate a tissue-dependent bias between MAP MP2RAGE T1 estimates and the multi-TI inversion recovery T1 values. To correct this bias, we train a patch-based ResNet-18 to calibrate the MAP MP2RAGE T1 estimates to the multi-TI IR T1 values. Across four folds, our network reduces the RMSE significantly (white matter: from 0.30 +/- 0.01 seconds to 0.11 +/- 0.02 seconds, subcortical gray matter: from 0.26 +/- 0.02 seconds to 0.10 +/- 0.02 seconds, cortical gray matter: from 0.36 +/- 0.02 seconds to 0.17 +/- 0.03 seconds). Using limited paired training data from both sequences, we can reduce the error between quantitative imaging methods and calibrate to one of the protocols with a neural network.

description:
OBJECTIVE: There is little evidence regarding the most beneficial choice between a mechanical and a bioprosthetic valve in the aortic position in dialysis patients. This meta-analysis compares the survival and freedom from reintervention rates between mechanical and bioprosthetic valves in patients on dialysis undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery. METHODS: Two databases were searched, and the systematic review was performed in accordance with the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses statement. We conducted one-stage and two-stage meta-analysis with Kaplan-Meier-derived individual patient data and meta-analysis with random-effects model. RESULTS: Eight studies were included, providing data about 1215 dialysis patients receiving mechanical valves and 1851 patients receiving bioprosthetic valves. During a mean follow-up of 43.1 months, overall survival rates were significantly improved in the mechanical valve group in comparison to the bioprosthetic one (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.84, p < 0.001). This was confirmed by the two-stage meta-analysis (HR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.62-0.83, p = 0.00, I2 = 17.79%). Regarding freedom from reintervention, no arm offered a statistically significant advantage, according to the two-stage generated analysis (HR: 1.025, 95% CI: 0.65-1.61, p = 0.914). Similarly, there was no evident superiority of a valve type for perioperative outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Mechanical valves are likely to be associated with a better survival outcome compared to bioprosthetic valves for patients on dialysis undergoing aortic valve replacement. However, freedom from reoperation rates and perioperative outcomes were comparable between the two valve types, with no arm exhibiting a statistically significant advantage.

description: The Jewish community on the ‘British Rock of Gibraltar’ reached its height in the 19th century. At the time this marriage contract (ketubbah) was produced, most of Gibraltar’s retail trade was conducted by the local Sephardic community. By the second half of the 19th century, Gibraltar developed its own characteristic type of marriage contract decoration, with large pieces of parchment ornamented in bright colors. The present ketubbah, of which an identical but later copy is preserved at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (accession n. B72.1066 179/244H, see Sh. Sabar, Mazal Tov: Illuminated Jewish Marriage Contracts from the Israel Museum Collection, Jerusalem: The Israel Museum, 1993), is framed on either side by garlands of flowers, a luxurious red bow at the bottom and surmounted by a crown, which is reminiscent of the Torah crown, however modeled here on the British royal crown. Three other typical motifs of these Gibraltar ketubbot are the initial word of the traditional Jewish wedding day in Gibraltar, Wednesday (ברביעי), enlarged in gold lettering; the sum of the dowry and increment is a factor of eighteen, a number that is also the propitious word ‘Ḥai’ (חי) – ‘life’, written here in monumental letters sticking out of the small cursive script and lastly, the ornamental monogram in Latin letters at bottom center, which is comprised here of E C B, referring to the bridal couple’s first (Elido and Jimol) and last initials (Ben Atar/ Benatar). Elido (אלידו), son of Isaiah, son of the late Ḥaim, called Ben Atar (בן עתר) is marrying the bride Jimol (ג'ימול), daughter of Joseph, son of the late David, called Qazes (קאזיס), whose dowry is 600 Pesos Fuertes (פיזוס פואירטיס) worth of clothing, jewelry and bed linen and incremented by 600 Pesos Fuertes as a gift, to which is added a piece of land measuring 400 cubits and an additional 600 Pesos Fuertes; the total obligation is 1800 Pesos Fuertes.

description: This report summarises observations made on a field visit to areas affected by the May 2010 eruption of Volcan Tungurahua, Ecuador. The focus of this trip, carried out in September 2010 by a field team from the University of Canterbury and University College London, was to investigate both direct and indirect effects of ashfall on critical infrastructure, and the management of ashfall events. In particular we paid attention to less-studied areas of interest including electrical power and healthcare systems. All infrastructure topics explored aspects of resilience and adaptation, in the context of ongoing volcanic unrest at Tungurahua since 1999. Research methods were largely qualitative and included semi-structured interviews, observation, water testing and informal conversations and meetings with locals. A good overview of ashfall impacts on electricity networks, healthcare services and emergency management issues was achieved during the trip. The information gathered adds to our knowledge of the possible effects of volcanic ashfall on infrastructure and public services. Further insights into impacts of water, wastewater, transportation and agriculture were gained. Overall, infrastructure seemed to function well during the 2010 eruption, with only minor problems reported. However, the May 2010 eruption generated only minor ashfalls (a few mm) in most locations. Over the past 11 years of volcanic unrest, other events have caused more serious impacts, particularly a VEI 3 eruption on 16-17 August 2006. Electrical supplies suffered few problems, with no reports of electrical flashover from ashfalls. Problems arising from contamination of open water supplies have led to an initiative to cover water supplies. In the transport sector, the 2010 eruption resulted in a two-day closure of Guayaquil international airport due to risks to aircraft. Roads in the Tungurahua region have been frequently damaged by lahars over the past 11 years. The 2010 eruption caused partial damage to 3740 ha of crops. Far more severe, although localised, damage to crops, livestock and rural communities was caused by the August 2006 eruption (auths)
Revisiting Extremal Couplings in AdS/CFT

description: We consider an effective theory of massive scalar fields on a fixed AdS$_{d+1}$ background with a cubic extremal interaction among them. A bulk coupling is called extremal whenever the corresponding conformal dimension of any of the dual CFT$_d$ operators matches the sum of all the others. For cubic bulk couplings, this is $Δ_i+Δ_j=Δ_k$. These bulk interactions are often disregarded in the literature since they do not appear in traditional models of AdS/CFT. Turning them on yields a divergent vertex in the dual CFT, and here we show that these divergences can be regulated. Once renormalized, we demonstrate that this coupling introduces non-trivial mixing between single- and double-trace operators, and we compute the anomalous dimensions of the corrected operators to leading order in perturbation theory.

description: The Seidov limit is a bound on the maximum latent heat that a presumed first-order phase transition of neutron-star matter can have before its excess energy density, not compensated by additional pressure, results in gravitational collapse. Because latent heat forces an apparent nonanalytic behaviour in plots correlating physical quantities (kinks in two-dimensional, ridges in three-dimensional ones), it can be constrained by data. As the onset of collapse depends on the intensity of gravity, testing for sudden derivative changes and, if they are large, breaching the Seidov limit would reward with two successive discoveries: such a phase transition (which could stem from hadron matter but also from a gravitational phase transition), and a modification of General Relativity (thus breaking the matter/gravity degeneracy). We illustrate the point with $f(R)=R+αR^2$ metric gravity.
