description: We classify generalized block graphs whose binomial edge ideals admit a unique extremal Betti number. We prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals of generalized block graphs is bounded below by $m(G)+1$, where $m(G)$ is the number of minimal cut sets of the graph $G$ and obtain an improved upper bound for the regularity in terms of the number of maximal cliques and pendant vertices of $G$.

description: Only a few recent phase III trials with targeted therapies or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (m-ccRCC) demonstrated an overall survival (OS) benefit compared to standard of care. We aimed to study the evolution of OS since the start of systemic therapy from 2000 to 2020. Retrospective study on all consecutively treated m-ccRCC patients in three Belgian hospitals starting with systemic therapy. The study outcome was OS since the start of systemic therapy. We used a univariable Cox model for OS with year of the start of therapy as a predictor, and a multivariable analysis including known prognostic factors. Linear and non-linear trends of time were tested. Five hundred patients were included. In a linear model, the HR for OS depending on the year of the start of therapy was 0.95 (95%CI 0.93–0.97; p p OS of m-ccRCC patients has been improving significantly over the last 15 years since the introduction of VEGFR-TKIs and ICIs.
Plato's Symposium: the Other Half. A study of Phaedrus', Pausanias', and Eryximachus' Speeches (Symposium, 178a6-188e4)

description: This thesis is primarily a study of the first three speeches uttered in praise of Erôs in Plato's Symposium (178a6-188e4). Less studied than the following speeches, these encomia are often dismissed as lacking in argumentative consistency, cultural originality, and philosophical insights. I disprove these three criticisms by showing that, in each discourse, the line of argumentation is stronger than appears at first sight, the views of erôs are far from conventional, and genuine philosophical questions are raised: can erôs be viewed as leading to courage (Phaedrus), wisdom (Pausanias), or harmony (Eryximachus) without being denied some of its essential features — inconstancy, desire and pleasure? The thesis is also centrally concerned with two more general questions about the way the Platonic dialogue works as a whole. (1) What is the nature of the contest over wisdom in which all the speakers are involved? I argue that the challenge issued by Eryximachus at the start of the dialogue (177a2-d5) is not to just praise erôs but to reveal how the emotion is conducive to the highest kind of benefits for human beings: virtue and happiness, each speaker being led as a result to advocate, beyond a vision of erôs, a particular ideal of human excellence. (2) How does Diotima's speech relate to the previous ones? I argue that the priestess does not just dismiss the first speeches (Rowe), nor further develops some insights roughly presented in the first speeches (Sheffield): rather, she solves questions raised by them. The final purpose of the study is to better understand why Plato chose to express his views through various voices in his dialogue.

description: Tea is being grown on the gentle slopes of Himachal Pradesh located in the north-western region of mighty Himalaya, since 1850s. However, degrading soil health due to rampant usage of agrochemicals, and long-run tea cultivation adversely affects the productivity potential of the region. Analyzing soil-nutrient status is of great value to meet the crop nutrient demand. The research aimed to identify the vulnerable soil properties and their assessment for soil restoration under major tea estates of the North-western Himalaya. The study examined the physico-chemical and biological properties of soils of 37 tea estates. The large variation among different sites for physical parameters signifies the textural difference between the sites under study. Meanwhile, the soil pH of tea estates varied from extremely acidic to slightly acidic reaction, with an overall pH (H2O) of 5.33 in the top soils and 5.47 in the subsoils. High OC (13.35 g kg−1) under overall soil depth of tea estates presumably correlated with higher concentration of available nutrients, i.e. N (r = 0.641), K (r = 0.492), and S (r = 0.623) alongside exchangeable Ca (r = 0.724) and Mg (r = 0.718). The substrate carbon availability due to higher amount of organic matter in the top soils (16.1 g kg−1) leads to increased biological activity (MBC and DHA) in the surface soils as compared to subsoils. The unscientific approach of fertilizer application led to huge variability in green leaf yield across different tea estates. Thus, to achieve higher yield, it should be necessary to adopt nutrient application in a judicial manner in the tea plantations.

description: The Greenland ice sheet has experienced a six-fold increase in ice loss during the last three decades, contributing significantly to global sea level rise. About 60% of the Greenland ice loss comes from dynamic ice loss from tidewater glaciers. Tidewater glaciers each have unique subglacial drainage systems and discharge meltwater into adjacent fjords differently. However, studies of the subglacial hydrology of individual tidewater glaciers have been limited, largely due to the difficulty in obtaining direct measurements. The input of water to the subglacial drainage systems come from drainage of supraglacial lakes, crevasses and moulins. The water travel downstream through subglacial channels, eventually reaching the terminus of the glacier, where the freshwater discharge form buoyant plumes that rise through the ambient ocean water, and eventually reach the surface. In this study, supraglacial lake volume and drainage were analysed with the dual-satellite FASTER algorithm, and meltwater plume areas were assessed through time-lapse photogrammetry in the Python toolbox PyTrx, in order to reconstruct the subglacial hydrology of the tidewater glacier Store Glacier in West Greenland during the 2018 summer melting season. The results of this study indicate a distributed and inefficient drainage system in June, with drainage leading to increased subglacial storage in cavities and disconnected channels. By early July, the drainage system on the glacier below 1000 m elevation had developed into an efficient system, experiencing fast hydraulic transmissivity, while elevations above 1000 m still experienced slow hydraulic transmissivity in a distributed drainage system. This research provides high-detail observations of the unique subglacial drainage system of a tidewater glacier. Understanding the subglacial hydrology of tidewater glaciers is key for making ice loss predictions about the next century.

description: ATM, ETM+ and MODIS radiance data collected for the surface of Langjokull during August 2007. Radiance data from the three different instruments was then converted to surface broadband albedo using a number of different methods. The differences between the methods used to derive the surface albedo were then compared, followed by an analysis of the impact of spatial resolution and sample size on the differences between the derived surface albedo. Analysis of the different datasets combined with transect sample analyses of the derived surface albedos indicated that the most precise methods of deriving albedo from the ATM and ETM+ instruments was through the use of FLAASH for the ATM and dark pixel atmospheric correction or 6S atmospheric correction for the ETM+. These first analyses also indicated that the MODIS data was broadly in agreement with these two datasets. However, analysis of the differences between the different spatial resolution datasets across the three different spatial extents revealed a number of differences between the datasets. At the smallest scale the lower resolution datasets were shown to contain a bias towards representing certain areas in individual pixels. Consequently, the correlation between the datasets was reduced across greater sample sizes. Moreover, this bias was shown to prevent the ETM+ and MODIS imagery from averaging highly variable surfaces. The result of these measurement characteristics was for the low resolution instruments to overestimate the albedo value of snow in the accumulation area, greatly underestimate the albedo in the firn zone and struggle to capture the spatial variability in the ablation zone. The implications of these characteristics for lower resolution data have consequently been outlined, with the extent of the differences between both the low resolution datasets and the ATM dataset, indicating that where possible ETM+ imagery should be used to monitor surface albedo characteristics as it was the most closely correlated with the ATM data.

The Rodrigues formulas of column type that algebraically generate the monic non-symmetric multivariable Hermite and Laguerre polynomials corresponding to the distinguishable case are presented. Symmetric and anti-symmetric polynomials that respectively give the eigenstates for bosonic and fermionic particles are also presented by the symmetrization and anti-symmetrization of the non-symmetric ones. The norms of all the eigenstates for all cases are algebraically calculated in a unified way.

description: The holographic entanglement entropy is computed for an entangling surface that coincides with the horizon of a boundary de Sitter metric. This is achieved through an appropriate slicing of anti-de Sitter space and the implementation of a UV cutoff. The entropy is equal to the Wald entropy for an effective action that includes the higher-curvature terms associated with the conformal anomaly. The UV cutoff can be expressed in terms of the effective Planck mass and the number of degrees of freedom of the dual theory. The entanglement entropy takes the expected form of the de Sitter entropy, including logarithmic corrections.

HISTORY
Cultural Heritage

description: Skriðuklaustur was the last Catholic monastery to be founded in Iceland before the Reformation. In June 1500 the farm of Skriða (in the valley of Fljótsdalur in eastern Iceland) was given to a community of Augustinian canons. However, there had already been religious activity on the site for some years before the official grant. During the mid-sixteenth century, religious change was imposed on Iceland by Christian III of Denmark. The Danish government forcibly introduced Protestantism, and in 1554 the monastery at Skriðuklaustur was closed and the lands given to a Lutheran pastor. The buildings occupied by the Augustinians fell into ruins, although the church continued in use for some generations. The site was eventually deconsecrated in 1792. In the early twentieth century the writer Gunnar Gunnarsson bought Skriðuklaustur and built a house not far from the monastic remains. Both the monastic site and the house are now part of a cultural institute which is open to the public.

description: Poor survival rates in different cancer types are sometimes blamed on diagnostic and treatment delays, and it has been suggested that such delays might be related to sociodemographic factors such as education and ethnicity. We examined associations of the wait time from diagnosis to surgery and survival in endometrial cancer (EC) and explored patient and tumour factors influencing the wait time. In this historical population-based cohort study, The Swedish Quality Registry for Gynaecologic Cancer (SQRGC) was used to identify EC patients who underwent primary surgery between 2010 and 2018. Factors associated with a wait time > 32 d were analysed with logistic regression. The 32-d time point was defined in accordance with the Swedish Standardisation Cancer Care programme. Adjusted Poisson regression analyses were used to analyse excess mortality rate ratio (EMRR). Out of 7366 women, 5535 waited > 32 d for surgery and 1098 > 70 d. The overall median wait time was 44 d. The factors most strongly associated with a wait time > 32 d were surgery at a university hospital (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08–1.66) followed by country of birth (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.10–1.55) and year of diagnosis. There were no associations between wait time and histology or age. A wait time < 15 d was associated with higher mortality (adjusted EMRR 2.29,95% CI 1.36–3.84) whereas no negative survival impact was seen with a wait time of 70 d. Age, tumour stage, histology and risk group were highly associated with survival, whereas education, country of origin and hospital level did not have any impact on survival. Surgery within the first two weeks after EC diagnosis was associated with worsened survival. A prolonged wait time did not seem to have any significant adverse effect on prognosis.HighlightsSurgery within the first two weeks after diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) was associated with poorer survival.A prolonged wait time to surgery did not worsen prognosis.Delay in time to surgery was associated with sociodemographic factors.

description: Kinematic Simulations of turbulent pair diffusion in planar turbulence with a -5/3 energy spectrum reproduce the results of the laboratory measurements of Jullien Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2872 (1999), in particular the stretched exponential form of the PDF of pair separations and their correlation functions. The root mean square separation is found to be strongly dependent on initial conditions for very long stretches of times. This dependence is consistent with the topological picture of turbulent pair diffusion where pairs initially close enough travel together for long stretches of time and separate violently when they meet straining regions around hyperbolic points. A new argument based on the divergence of accelerations is given to support this picture.
Phonon contribution in grazing-incidence fast atom diffraction from insulator surfaces

description: We study the effect of crystal lattice vibrations on grazing-incidence fast atom diffraction (GIFAD) from insulator surfaces. To describe the phonon contribution to GIFAD we introduce a semiquantum method, named Phonon-Surface Initial Value Representation (P-SIVR), which represents the surface with a harmonic crystal model, while the scattering process is described by means of the Surface Initial Value Representation approach, including phonon excitations. Expressions for the partial scattering probabilities involving zero- and one- phonon exchange are derived. In particular, the P-SIVR approach for zero-phonon scattering is applied to study the influence of thermal lattice vibrations on GIFAD patterns for Ne/LiF(001) at room temperature. It is found that the thermal lattice fluctuations introduce a polar-angle spread into the projectile distributions, which can affect the relative intensities of the interference maxima, even giving rise to interference sub-patterns depending on the incidence conditions. Present results are in agreement with the available experiments.

description: The seed bank is the resting place of weed seeds and is an important component of the life cycle of weeds. Seed banks are the sole source of future weed populations of the weed species both annuals and perennials that reproduce only by seeds. For this reason, understanding fate of seeds in the seed bank can be an important component of overall weed control. When weed seeds enter the seed bank, several factors influence the duration for which seeds persist. Seeds can sense the surrounding environment in the seed bank and use these stimuli to become dormant or initiate germination. Soil and crop management practices can directly influence the environment of seeds in the soil weed seed bank and can thus be used to manage seed longevity and germination behavior of weed seeds.

description: Introduction: Checkpoint inhibitors are increasingly important in anti-cancertreatment. Therefore, knowledge of immune-related cutaneous adverse events(ir-cAE) is crucial for therapy management and continuation.Objective: The study aimed to analyze the incidence of cutaneous adverseevents caused by checkpoint inhibitor therapy, including their clinicalpresentation, management, and impact on further treatment.

Methods: This is a descriptive, monocentric retrospective study that uses datafrom the electronic health record system at a tertiary referral hospital in CentralSwitzerland from September 2019 to September 2022. The electronic healthrecords of patients who received a therapy with checkpoint inhibitors wereexamined for age, sex, type of immunotherapy, time to occurrence of ir-cAEs,characteristics of the ir-cAEs, the treatment approach, and the continuation orcessation of the therapy due to ir-cAEs.

Results: Out of 431 patients, for 131 patients (30.4%) at least one ir-cAE event wasdocumented. In particular, 109 (25.3%) experienced pruritus and 61 (14.2%)showed a maculopapular exanthema. The severity of the ir-cAE was mild in 88patients (67.2% out of those with ir-cAEs). Ir-cAE were observed in 10 out of 20patients (50%) treated with ipilimumab/nivolumab and in 15 out of 24 (62.5%)treated with durvalumab. In 15 patients (3.5%), checkpoint inhibitor therapy hadto be discontinued due to cutaneous side effects

description: Quantum resetting protocols allow a quantum system to be sent to a state in the past by making it interact with quantum probes when neither the free evolution of the system nor the interaction is controlled. We experimentally verify the simplest non-trivial case of a quantum resetting protocol, known as the $\mathcal{W}_4$ protocol, with five superconducting qubits, testing it with different types of free evolutions and target-probe interactions. After projection, we obtained a reset state fidelity as high as $0.951$, and the process fidelity was found to be $0.792$. We also implemented 100 randomly-chosen interactions and demonstrated an average success probability of $0.323$ for $|1\rangle$ and $0.292$ for $|-\rangle$, experimentally confirmed the nonzero probability of success for unknown interactions; the numerical simulated values are about $0.3$. Our experiment shows that the simplest quantum resetting protocol can be implemented with current technologies, making such protocols a valuable tool in the eternal fight against unwanted evolution in quantum systems.

description: The purpose of the Project System Improvement and Innovation Strategy is to ensure regular and frequent improvement and innovation of the design, leadership and performance of the project system and its component elements, and to manage the interaction between the project system and the broader meta-system. The importance of this strategy has become more apparent over the past year. Initially it was treated as a 'supporting' strategy, but with time, recognition of its importance is growing. This strategy will require greater ingenuity and attention over the next two years to ensure project success, efficiency and sustainability.

description: This thesis is one particular way of clarifying how the God Christians believe in is to be understood. The key conceptual argument which runs throughout the thesis is that the distinctive relation between the world and God in Christian theology is best understood as a non-dualistic one. The ‘two’ (God + world) cannot be added up as separate, enumerable realities or contrasted with each other against some common background, since God does not belong in any category, while the creature is ontologically constituted by its relation to the Creator. In order to explore the unique character of this distinctive relation, I take up David Burrell’s invitation to turn to Sara Grant’s work on the Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedānta and the metaphysics of creation found in Thomas Aquinas. Through a careful examination of the concept of relation in Aquinas and Śaṁkara, she argues that both were issuing the same challenge: to move beyond binary oppositions between the world and God to a ‘non-dualism’ (a-dvaita) which means neither ‘one’ (i.e. God = world) nor ‘two’ (i.e. God + world). I develop her work and that of the earlier ‘Calcutta School’ by drawing explicit attention to the (Neo)Platonic themes in Aquinas which provide some of the most fruitful areas for comparative engagement with Vedānta. The fact that the world only exists in (dependence on) God means – to the Christian - that ‘God’ and ‘world’ must be ontologically distinct (since God does not exist in dependence on the world) and simultaneously means – to the Advaitin – that they cannot be ontologically separate either. The language of non-duality allows us to see, I argue, that both of these positions can be held coherently together without entailing any contradiction or disagreement at the level of fundamental ontology. What it means to be ‘world’, in other words, does not and cannot exclude what it means to be ‘God’.

description: Of all the well localized gamma-ray bursts, GRB 000911 has the longest duration (T_90 ~ 500 s), and ranks in the top 1% of BATSE bursts for fluence. Here, we report the discovery of the afterglow of this unique burst. In order to simultaneously fit our radio and optical observations, we are required to invoke a model involving an hard electron distribution, p ~ 1.5 and a jet-break time less than 1.5 day. A spectrum of the host galaxy taken 111 days after the burst reveals a single emission line, interpreted as [OII] at a redshift z = 1.0585, and a continuum break which we interpret as the Balmer limit at this redshift. Despite the long T_90, the afterglow of GRB 000911 is not unusual in any other way when compared to the set of afterglows studied to date. We conclude that the duration of the GRB plays little part in determining the physics of the afterglow.

description: To compare prevalence rates of mental disorders in patients with cancer and general population controls. In two stratified nationally representative surveys, the 12-month prevalence of mental disorders was assessed in 2141 patients with cancer and 4883 general population controls by the standardized Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). We determined odds ratios (ORs) to compare the odds for mental disorders (combined and subtypes) in cancer patients with age- and gender-matched controls. The 12-month prevalences rate for any mental disorder was significantly higher in patients with cancer compared to controls (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.14–1.45). Prevalence rates were at least two times higher for unipolar mood disorders (major depression: OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.71–2.51; dysthymia: OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.13–4.02) and mental disorders due to a general medical condition (OR 3.31, 95% CI 2.32–4.71). There was no significant elevation for anxiety disorders overall (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.81–1.11). Mildly elevated prevalence rates emerged for post-traumatic stress disorder (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.11–2.23) and social phobia (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.07–2.31), while specific phobia (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.67–1.00) and agoraphobia (OR 0.49, 95% CI 0.33–0.73) were significantly less frequent in cancer. While elevated depression rates reinforce the need for its systematic diagnosis and treatment, lower prevalences were unexpected given previous evidence. Whether realistic illness-related fears and worries contribute to lower occurrence of anxiety disorders with excessive fears in cancer may be of interest to future research.
On the Modelling of Energetic Multi-jet QCD Events

description: Physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) may be unveiled by studying events with a high number of outgoing jets, produced at the LHC with energies above the TeV scale (energetic multi-jet events). Such events are dominated by QCD processes, where the calculations rely on some sort of approximation. Therefore, it is important to develop a robust approach for modeling such events that could probe the existence of BSM signals. In this note, jet spatial distributions in energetic multi-jet processes were compared using several state-of-the-art MC event generators. Slight differences were found, indicating modelling limitations. Therefore, a data-driven technique for the estimation of processes with a final state that contains a large number of jets is proposed. This procedure can predict jet multiplicities up to a precision of ~25\% in energetic multi-jet events.

description: During the Iron Age the Strath of Kildonan in Sutherland was home to many small farming communities. The relatively mild climate of this period enabled the cultivation of barley, wheat, and oats, and the keeping of horses, sheep, and cattle. Although much of the land had been cleared for agriculture, areas of woodland survived (providing shelter for deer, wild boar, and wolves). The Iron Age residents of Kildonan lived in circular roundhouses, made of stone and turf, with conical thatched roofs. Hut circles from these long-ago dwellings can still be seen today. More than 350 hut circles have been identified in Kildonan. The roundhouses provided shelter for humans and animals. They were focused around a central hearth, with bays for sleeping and stalls for animals towards the walls of the house. Roundhouses were common throughout the British Isles. However, many of the roundhouses in Kildonan have specific regional variations – including passageways in the walls. The reconstruction and 3D objects depict how roundhouses near Caen in the Strath of Kildonan may have looked about 2000 years ago.

description: In the beef industry, as in many agricultural industries in Australia, there is a wealth of high quality capacity building available in topics such as animal breeding, nutrition, grazing land management, record keeping, property planning etc. However there are very few capacity building opportunities targeting (1) the higher level knowledge and skills needed to achieve both rapid and sustainable improvement and innovation, and (2) the knowledge and skills needed to lead and manage sustainable industry improvement and innovation. The BPP Capacity, Capability and Competency Strategy is designed to equip all BPP partners, teams and networkers with the knowledge, skills, resources and support to achieve and sustain beef business and industry improvement and innovation, and to fulfil their functions and roles in the BPP project. A secondary focus targets other beef industry participants i.e. those not directly involved in the BPP project.

description: institutions of sustainability (PIoS), which are sets of rules that a series of private actors voluntary follow to reach a sustainability target. Within PIoS, a strong position on sustainability themes is used as a mean to maximize private utility. Consequently, there is a potential win-win situation for both the private actors and the society. Typical for these multistakeholder PIoS is their hybrid configuration. Ménard (2004) introduced the concept of hybrids as an intermediate between pure anonymous spot markets and firms as hierarchies. It is a governance structure where actors have transferred part of their autonomous property rights to others, in order to allow for some coordination between partners. One of the main examples of PIoS in the food sector are private standards and certification schemes, developed to guide chain members to reach certain social and ecological objectives.

description: The circadian clock is an endogenous timing mechanism that allows organisms to coordinate physical and behavioural processes with the natural light dark cycle. Synchronisation between the circadian clock and environment in plants provides a fitness advantage (Dodd et al. 2005) and in wheat several circadian clock genes are candidates for flowering time QTLs. In Arabidopsis a number of photosynthetic processes are under circadian control (Dodd, Kusakina, et al. 2014) and the major product of photosynthesis, sucrose, feeds back metabolic timing information to the circadian clock (Haydon, Mielczarek, et al. 2013). Quantification of circadian rhythms requires non-invasive measurement tools which are lacking in non-model organisms such as wheat. I therefore optimised a chlorophyll a fluorescence imaging system for the measurement of circadian rhythms in wheat leaves (Chapter 3). Using a suite of Arabidopsis mutant lines, I identified chloroplast movement as the most significant driver of chlorophyll a fluorescence oscillations. I then demonstrated that circadian oscillations in leaf temperature could be measured in continuous light (Chapter 3). This led to the design of a low-cost leaf temperature measuring device which uses thermocouples directly attached to the surface of leaves to measure temperature. To determine the effect of the circadian clock on photosynthesis two tetraploid TILLING lines containing double null mutations of elf3 (Chapter 4) and gi (Chapter 5) were screened using a combination of chlorophyll a fluorescence, leaf temperature and time-course RT-qPCR. In both cases mutation of circadian clock genes caused a loss of rhythmic oscillations of circadian outputs in continuous conditions. Under diel conditions disruption of the circadian oscillator had little effect on photosynthesis but there were small effects on yield component traits. For the first time in wheat the loss of functional GI was shown to cause a delay in flowering time under long days. To date the effect of sugars on the wheat circadian oscillator have not been reported. Using a combination of RT-qPCR and chlorophyll a fluorescence I showed that the wheat orthologues of AtPRR7 and AtCCA1 respond differently to changes in sucrose levels compared to Arabidopsis (Chapter 6). I showed that sucrose is required for the maintenance of circadian oscillations in prolonged darkness. I also demonstrated the limitations of using chlorophyll a fluorescence for circadian phenotyping in darkness.
