description: Enset production in Ethiopia is seemingly limited to only consumption-based production and most of producers supplied small amounts of products to the market. This study was conducted with main objective of assessing factors affecting market participation of enset producers in Chena district in southwestern Ethiopia. Two-stage sampling technique was employed to select 101 representative enset producer households. Both primary and secondary data sources were used to gather necessary data for attaining specific objectives of the study. Both descriptive statistics and econometric model were used to analyze the collected data. A Heckman two stage model was employed to analyze the factors affecting households’ decision in market participation in sale of enset products and the amount of gross income earned. Econometric model analysis result showed that; sex of household head, education level, livestock owned, a distance from nearest market center, enset plantation size, and transport access were found to be significant in affecting the probability of market participation decision. In addition, education level, family size, distance from market center, enset plantation, and transport access affected the amount of gross income earned from sale of different enset products. The result suggests the need for stakeholders’ involvement to enable market-oriented production of crop to encourage farmers for better crop production and market supply to have increased amount of income and proper utilization of the crop.

description: Abstract

This study investigates the anticancer potential of quercetin derivatives targeting ATG4B protein through in silico methods and evaluates their efficacy using piperine-derived zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in McCoy cells in vitro. Quercetin derivatives were designed and subjected to molecular docking simulations, revealing strong interactions with ATG4B protein, suggesting their potential as autophagy inhibitors. ZnO NPs were synthesized via green chemistry and characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and FTIR, confirming their nanostructure and surface chemistry. The MTT assay demonstrated dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity of the ZnO NPs in McCoy cells, indicating their anticancer efficacy. Mechanistic studies showed that ZnO NPs induced apoptosis by upregulating pro-apoptotic Bax and downregulating anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, thus increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Additionally, ZnO NPs inhibited NF-κB expression and downregulated mRNA levels of IL-6, IL-2, and NF-κB, indicating anti-inflammatory properties. These findings highlight the potential of quercetin derivatives to target ATG4B and the efficacy of piperine-derived ZnO NPs in inducing apoptosis and modulating inflammatory pathways, supporting further investigation in preclinical and clinical settings to advance their development as novel nanotherapeutics for cancer treatment.
Gauge and Matter Condensates in Realistic String Models

description: We examine the inter-relationship of the superpotential containing hidden and observable matter fields and the ensuing condensates in free fermionic string models. These gauge and matter condensates of the strongly interacting hidden gauge groups play a crucial role in the determination of the physical parameters of the observable sector. Supplementing the above information with the requirement of modular invariance, we find that a generic model with only trilinear superpotential allows for a degenerate (and sometimes pathological) set of vacua. This degeneracy may be lifted by higher order terms in the superpotential. We also point out some other subtle points that may arise in calculations of this nature. We exemplify our observations by computing explicitly the modular invariant gaugino and matter condensates in the flipped SU(5) string model with hidden gauge group $SO(10)\times SU(4)$.

description: We study bosons on the real line in a Poisson random potential (Luttinger--Sy model) with contact interaction in the thermodynamic limit at absolute zero temperature. We prove that generalized Bose--Einstein condensation (BEC) occurs almost surely if the intensity $ν_N$ of the Poisson potential satisfies $[\ln (N)]^4/N^{1 - 2η} \ll ν_N \lesssim 1$ for arbitrary $0 < η\leq 1/3$. We also show that the contact interaction alters the type of condensation, going from a type-I BEC to a type-III BEC as the strength of this interaction is increased. Furthermore, for sufficiently strong contact interactions and $0 < η< 1/6$ we prove that the mean particle density in the largest interval is almost surely bounded asymptotically by $ν_NN^{3/5+δ}$ for $δ> 0$.

description: We present a first step towards generalizing the work of Seiberg and Witten on N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to arbitrary gauge groups. Specifically, we propose a particular sequence of hyperelliptic genus $n-1$ Riemann surfaces to underly the quantum moduli space of $SU(n)$ N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory. These curves have an obvious generalization to arbitrary simply laced gauge groups, which involves the A-D-E type simple singularities. To support our proposal, we argue that the monodromy in the semiclassical regime is correctly reproduced. We also give some remarks on a possible relation to string theory.

description: The cosmic infrared background (CIB) contains emissions accumulated over the entire history of the Universe, including from objects inaccessible to individual telescopic studies. The near-IR (~1-10 mic) part of the CIB, and its fluctuations, reflects emissions from nucleosynthetic sources and gravitationally accreting black holes (BHs). If known galaxies are removed to sufficient depths the source-subtracted CIB fluctuations at near-IR can reveal sources present in the first-stars-era and possibly new stellar populations at more recent times. This review discusses the recent progress in this newly emerging field which identified, with new data and methodology, significant source-subtracted CIB fluctuations substantially in excess of what can be produced by remaining known galaxies. The CIB fluctuations further appear coherent with unresolved cosmic X-ray background (CXB) indicating a very high fraction of BHs among the new sources producing the CIB fluctuations. These observations have led to intensive theoretical efforts to explain the measurements and their properties. While current experimental configurations have limitations in decisively probing these theories, their potentially remarkable implications will be tested in the upcoming CIB measurements with the ESA's Euclid dark energy mission. We describe the goals and methodologies of LIBRAE (Looking at Infrared Background Radiation with Euclid), a NASA-selected project for CIB science with Euclid, which has the potential for transforming the field into a new area of precision cosmology.

description: The linear polarisation fraction and angle of the hard X-ray emission from the Crab provide unique insight into high energy radiation mechanisms, complementing the usual imaging, timing and spectroscopic approaches. Results have recently been presented by two missions operating in partially overlapping energy bands, PoGO+ (18-160 keV) and AstroSat CZTI (100-380 keV). We previously reported PoGO+ results on the polarisation parameters integrated across the light-curve and for the entire nebula-dominated off-pulse region. We now introduce finer phase binning, in light of the AstroSat CZTI claim that the polarisation fraction varies across the off-pulse region. Since both missions are operating in a regime where errors on the reconstructed polarisation parameters are non-Gaussian, we adopt a Bayesian approach to compare results from each mission. We find no statistically significant variation in off-pulse polarisation parameters, neither when considering the mission data separately nor when they are combined. This supports expectations from standard high-energy emission models.

Online Repository

description: One of the main challenges of biodiversity data reuse associated with is to find ways to transform information contained from academic bibliography in traceable and reusable formats, following the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). These data are the basis for the construction of new scientific knowledge and should be used in decision-making actions aimed at conservation goals. Despite its unequivocal importance, scientific data is usually trapped in PDF or other formats. Plazi is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes the development of open and accessible digital taxonomic literature. Plazi’s infrastructure and workflow seeks to transform data into reusable formats that can be exported and linked in different platforms, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), the Biodiversity Literature Repository, the BiodiversityPMC, among others.

We are herein presenting as a showcase the effort to make the Atlas of Brazilian Snakes (Nogueira et al. 2019) a reusable database with essential information about the geographic distribution of this group. Plazi uses its own visual editor for data extraction and document annotation in XML, the GoldenGate Imagine. The obtained results were presented on a dashboard prepared with Microsoft software PowerBI.

A total of 412 species of snakes are presented (Figure 1). All the information provided in text was connected to figures and tables referenced and made available on the corresponding platforms. A dashboard was created as an interactive graphical tool summarizing how the extracted information interacts at different levels.

description: We demonstrate an ultrabright narrow-band two-photon source at the 1.5 -μm telecom wavelength for long-distance quantum communication. By utilizing a bow-tie cavity, we obtain a cavity enhancement factor of $4.06\times 10^4$. Our measurement of the second-order correlation function $G^{(2)} (τ)$ reveals that the linewidth of $2.4$ MHz has been hitherto unachieved in the 1.5 -μm telecom band. This two-photon source is useful for obtaining a high absorption probability close to unity by quantum memories set inside quantum repeater nodes. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, the observed spectral brightness of $3.94\times 10^5$ pairs/(s$\cdot$MHz$\cdot$mW) is also the highest reported over all wavelengths.

description: There is general agreement that language learning and culture are closely linked and cannot be easily separated. Much research has been carried out on the effects of cultural attitudes on language learning in general. Learner autonomy has also beenone of the dominant research topics in recent years. However, the interaction between these two variables, cultural factors and levels of learner autonomy, remains an underdeveloped area of research. Using the four-dimensional model of cultural differences in societies developed by Hofstede (1980), this study examines the relationship between cultural values and learner autonomy in Omani EFL classrooms. In particular, it looks at how cultural variations in attitudes towards learning may affect levels of learner autonomy in an Omani EFL context. An adaptation of Hofstede’s cultural value survey to suit a language learning context was used to measure the cultural values of the students and their Western instructors. A comparison of the outcome of the students and instructors’ responses reveals significant differences in all four of Hofstede's value dimensions (Power Distance, Individualist/Collectivist, Uncertainty Avoidance, and Masculinity/Femininity). The students’ responses show a tendency to favour a larger power distance than their instructors, are more collectivist and masculine and have a stronger tendency to avoid uncertainty, all of which may contribute to the students’ attitude towards learner autonomy. These results suggest that cultural differences between the instructors and the students may a reason for the difficulty in increasing levels of learner autonomy in Omani EFL classrooms.

description: This thesis explored the experiences of Teaching Assistants (TAs) in relation to the training on mediational language approach and group discussions as an event in their lives. TAs’ job expectations have changed in the recent years, with a focus on their pedagogical role, however, literature available suggests limited support in terms of training and supervision for this group of practitioners. Additionally, there is also research available (Blatchford, Basset, Brown and Webster, 2009) that proposes that TAs’ in-class support may produce a negative effect on children’s outcomes. Recent literature (Radford, Bosanquet, Webster, Blatchford and Rubie-Davies, 2014) emphasizes the need to improve the quality of interactions between TAs and children. Six participants took part in the current research and narrative analysis was used as a method to explore their stories about their experiences of accessing a training and subsequent group discussions. Analysis revealed that engagement with the training materials and interests on the links between theory and practice, reassured their value within the school. Information sharing generated discussions about peer support, which was regarded as a valuable aspect of their practice. Changes in practice appeared to be linked to belief systems about children’s abilities, which were displayed by changes in patterns of classroom approaches or reflections about practice. The researcher suggests further research exploration around the application of the mediational language approach, as an alternative method of TA-child interaction to support children’s independent learning skills. Possible implications for the use of structured models of peer supervision for TAs in schools for the practice of Educational Psychologists (EPs) are discussed.

description: A growing body of research shows that there is a close functional connection between motor and language systems of the human brain. Behavioural and TMS investigations document a causal influence between language and motor systems, an influence thatis bidirectional and which can be facilitatory or inhibitatory. While it is still not fully clear what determines the sign of the interaction effect (inhibition or facilitation) between action and language, some factors have shown to have an influence on the sign of the effect. A few studies have even managed to successfully reverse the sign of the effect between language and motor processes. This paper provides a short review of these reversals of action-language effects and discusses how this flexibility of motor-language interaction may be explained.
An Exploration of the Impact of Shame, Narcissism and Social Rank on the Distress and Wellbeing of Midadolescents: Does Self-Compassion Have a Role?
Creators: name: Greenaway, Liz
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2018

description: Background: Adolescence is a pivotal developmental period in the lifecycle. Aspects of shame, narcissism and social rank have all been associated with distress and wellbeing in adolescence, however no studies to date have investigated the impact of those constructs together in terms of their predictive value. Extant research has identified self-compassion as protective and associated with increased wellbeing. Aims: This study aimed to explore the relationships between external, internal and shame proneness; grandiose and vulnerable narcissism; social comparison and submissive behaviour, and self-compassion; and to explore the impact of those variables and the relationships between them upon psychological distress and wellbeing. Method: From the pragmatist approach this study adopted a cross-sectional, quantitative approach. Mid-adolescents aged 16-17 (N=142) were recruited and invited to complete a battery of self-report questionnaires via school or online survey. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to explore relationships and predictive associations between the variables and moderation analysis was performed to test the effects of self-compassion on the regression models. Results: This population was found to be low in wellbeing and moderate in distress. Multiple regression analyses found distress was predicted by internal shame, shame proneness, submissive behaviour and vulnerable narcissism; wellbeing was predicted by shame proneness; submissive behaviour and vulnerable narcissism (negatively) and social comparison and grandiose narcissism (positively). Self-compassion did not correlate with or predict distress, however its predictive power on wellbeing was marked. Moderation analyses showed self-compassion does not moderate distress or wellbeing. Conclusion: These novel findings suggest two predictive models for shame, narcissism and social rank in distress and wellbeing for an adolescent population, and show the impact of self-compassion. A more selfcompassionate attitude was related to increased wellbeing, hence those high in distress could benefit from compassion-based interventions and educational initiatives. Further investigations are warranted.

description: I develop a formalism for solving topological field theories explicitly, in the case when the explicit expression of the instantons is known. I solve topological Yang-Mills theory with the $k=1$ Belavin {\sl et al.} instanton and topological gravity with the Eguchi-Hanson instanton. It turns out that naively empty theories are indeed nontrivial. Many unexpected interesting hidden quantities (punctures, contact terms, nonperturbative anomalies with or without gravity) are revealed. Topological Yang-Mills theory with $G=SU(2)$ is not just Donaldson theory, but contains a certain {\sl link} theory. Indeed, local and non-local observables have the property of {\sl marking} cycles. From topological gravity one learns that an object can be considered BRST exact only if it is so all over the moduli space ${\cal M}$, boundary included. Being BRST exact in any interior point of ${\cal M}$ is not sufficient to make an amplitude vanish. Presumably, recursion relations and hierarchies can be found to solve topological field theories in four dimensions, in particular topological Yang-Mills theory with $G=SU(2)$ on ${\bf R}^4$ and topological gravity on ALE manifolds.

description: Several issues related to the practical synthesis of ternary sequences with specified spectra are addressed in this paper. Specifically, sequences with harmonic multiples of two and three suppressed are studied, given their relevance when testing and characterizing nonlinear systems. In particular, the effect of non-uniform Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) levels on the spectral properties of the generated signal is analyzed. It is analytically shown that the DAC non-uniform levels result in degraded harmonic suppression performance. Moreover, a new approach is proposed for designing ternary sequences, which is flexible and can be adapted to suit different requirements. The resulting sequences, denoted as randomized constrained sequences, are characterized theoretically by deriving an analytical expression of the power spectral density. Furthermore, they are extensively compared with three synthesis approaches proposed in the literature. The approach is validated by numerical simulations and experimental results, showing the potential to achieve harmonic suppression performance of approximately 100 dB.

description: Abstract

A Smart City integrates various key elements, including technology, finance, government, and management, highlighting specific connectivity requirements. Wireless technologies such as ZigBee, Bluetooth, 4G, WiMax, Wi-Fi, and LTE have established themselves as solutions for communication in smart city initiatives. However, as the prevalence of unlicensed noise and bandwidth issues increases, IoT is being utilized to address these challenges. This article addresses the problems of resource allocation (RA) and routing by proposing an enhanced Swarm Distributed Energy-Efficient Clustering Scheme (ES-DEEC) protocol for IoT networks. This method, based on hybrid optimization techniques (PSO-GWO), focuses on data clustering and meta-heuristic approaches for optimizing IoT devices and gateway allocation. It also introduces a nature-inspired swarm optimization method for routing. The performance of the ES-DEEC method is demonstrated using MATLAB simulations, with experimental results compared to the existing ECRR method in terms of energy consumption (EC), Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), network lifetime (NLT), and network throughput (TH).

description: We show that a {\it Borel} action of a Polish group on a standard Borel space is Borel isomorphic to a {\it continuous} action of the group on a Polish space, and we apply this result to three aspects of the theory of Borel actions of Polish groups: universal actions, invariant probability measures, and the Topological Vaught Conjecture. We establish the existence of universal actions for any given Polish group, extending a result of Mackey and Varadarajan for the locally compact case. We prove an analog of Tarski's theorem on paradoxical decompositions by showing that the existence of an invariant Borel probability measure is equivalent to the nonexistence of paradoxical decompositions with countably many Borel pieces. We show that various natural versions of the Topological Vaught Conjecture are equivalent with each other and, in the case of the group of permutations of $\Bbb N$, with the model-theoretic Vaught Conjecture for infinitary logic; this depends on our identification of the universal action for that group.

description: O material cerâmico, para além de constituir um dos tipos de materiais mais presentes no espólio duma escavação arqueológica, é o recurso que nos permite recolher informação sobre as comunidades que ocuparam esses espaços, constituindo elementos diferenciadores dos grupos económico-sociais que os produziram. Neste artigo iremos descrever a metodologia de registo utilizada na caracterização do espólio cerâmico do Alto das Malhadas (Vale do Côa), desde a recolha em campo, catalogação, registo fotográfico, desenho e definição dos descritores usados na sua caracterização.
O estudo e caracterização do espólio cerâmico do Alto das Malhadas, realizado no âmbito do projeto RARAA - Repositório Acesso Aberto de Arte Rupestre, a publicar num repositório de dados de acesso aberto, deve ser acompanhado desta definição clara da metodologia de registo, bem como dos respetivos descritores, para que os dados obedeçam a princípios FAIR e possam ser reutilizados em novas análises, interpretações ou em novos projetos científicos.
description: The ceramic artefacts, besides being one of the most present types of materials in the remains of an archaeological excavation, are the resource that allows us to gather information about the communities that occupied these spaces, constituting differentiating elements of the social-economic groups that produced them. In this paper we describe the recording methodology used to characterize the Alto das Malhadas (Côa Valley) ceramics, from field collection, cataloguing, photographic recording, drawing and definition of the descriptors used in their characterization. 
The study and characterization of the Alto das Malhadas ceramic artifacts, carried out within the RARAA - Open Access Repository of Rock Art project, to be published in an open access data repository, should be accompanied by this clear definition of the recording methodology, as well as the respective descriptors, so that the data follows FAIR principles and can be reused in new analyses, interpretations or in new scientific projects.

Effective String Amplitudes for Hadronic Physics

description: We propose using the general structure and properties of conformal field theory amplitudes, in particular those defined on surfaces with boundaries, to explore effective string theory amplitudes for some hadronic processes. Two examples are considered to illustrate the approach. In one a natural mechanism for chiral symmetry breaking within the string picture is proposed. One consequence is that the vertex operator for pion emission (at zero momentum) behaves like a world sheet current evaluated on the string boundary. This fact is used to rederive, in a more general setting, hadronic mass relations found in the early days of string theory by Lovelace, and Ademollo, Veneziano and Weinberg. In the second example, we derive the general structure of the form factor for the emission of a pomeron (interpreted as a closed string) from a meson or baryon. The result reconciles the interpretation of the pomeron as a closed string, emitted from the interior of the meson or baryon world sheet, with the additive quark rules for total hadronic cross sections. We also review the difficulties involved in constructing complete effective string theories for hadrons, and comment on the relation between the intercepts of trajectories and the short distance behavior of the underlying theory.
