description: We present first predictions of the cross sections and differential distributions for the central exclusive reaction $pp \to pp π^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ being studied at RHIC and LHC. The amplitudes for the processes are formulated in terms of the tensor pomeron and tensor $f_{2 R}$ reggeon exchanges with the vertices respecting the standard crossing and charge-conjugation relations of Quantum Field Theory. The $σσ$ and $ρρ$ contributions to the $π^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ final state are considered focussing on their specificities. The correct inclusion of the pomeron spin structure seems crucial for the considered sequential mechanisms in particular for the $ρρ$ contribution which is treated here for the first time. The mechanism considered gives a significant contribution to the $pp \to pp π^{+} π^{-} π^{+} π^{-}$ reaction. We adjust parameters of our model to the CERN-ISR experimental data and present several predictions for the STAR, ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments. A measurable cross section of order of a few $μb$ is obtained including the experimental cuts relevant for the LHC experiments. We show the influence of the experimental cuts on the integrated cross section and on various differential distributions.

LONGITUDINAL EMITTANCE BLOW-UP AND PRODUCTION OF FUTURE LHC BEAMS
Creators: name: Albright Et Al., S.
Publisher: name: CERN Proceedings
Year: 2017

description: During Long Shutdown 2 the RF systems of the PSB will be replaced with broadband Finemet systems, there will also be an energy increase and many other modiﬁcations. This note summarises studies that were done to investigate how to meet the emittance requirements for the LIU-PSB baseline and a possible use of the broadband cavities to improve the capture process. The LIU-PSB baseline requires longitudinal emittance blow-up to 3 eVs with 205 ns bunch length at extraction. The current ferrite RF systems were used, with phase  modulation of a high harmonic, to produce 2.8 eVs bunches with 220 ns bunch length, as this is the largest that can currently be transferred to the PS. Larger emittances were possible,
demonstrating the ability to reach the LIU-PSB baseline in the future, which is conﬁrmed in simulation. The broadband impedance of the Finemet was exploited to allow RF voltage to be supplied on three harmonics (h=1, h=2, h=3), as opposed to the usual 2. For high intensity beams this lead to an improved capture eﬃciency for the same total voltage, and future studies are planned to demonstrate if there is an eﬀect on extracted transverse emittance.

description: The Covid-19 pandemic is already seen as the most transformative and challenging event in our memory. This atypical situation triggered new habits, forms of consumption and trends. The present study aims to analyze the new online consumption habits resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose, a quantitative methodology is proposed. A questionnaire focusing on new online shopping habits and trends arising from the Covid-19 pandemic was applied, with 618 responses being obtained. The study shows that, in fact, during the pandemic, consumers changed their consumption habits in terms of proportion, amount spent on online purchases and payment methods. There were also changes in the purchasing behavior of certain categories of products during the Covid-19 pandemic and, it is also noted that some of the trends arising from the pandemic are strongly influenced by sociodemographic characteristics. This study proves to be relevant, mainly due to the relevance of understanding how the pandemic context can influence the way people live, behave, buy and develop new habits, which may not end during the pandemic. The digital environment becomes even more important to mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 crisis and, probably, we are witnessing the beginning of the digital era more pronounced than ever.

description: The recently reported wobbling bands in $^{135}$Pr are investigated by the collective Hamiltonian, in which the collective parameters, including the collective potential and the mass parameter, are respectively determined from the tilted axis cranking (TAC) model and the harmonic frozen alignment (HFA) formula. It is shown that the experimental energy spectra of both yrast and wobbling bands are well reproduced by the collective Hamiltonian. It is confirmed that the wobbling mode in $^{135}$Pr changes from transverse to longitudinal with the rotational frequency. The mechanism of this transition is revealed by analyzing the effective moments of inertia of the three principal axes, and the corresponding variation trend of the wobbling frequency is determined by the softness and shapes of the collective potential.

description: The use of digital marketing to promote sustainability is a controversial topic, as it can be complex to associate a set of strategies aimed at encouraging consumption with environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, digital marketing allows us to reach consumers globally and the promotion of sustainability is urgent in our society at a global level. In this line of thinking, this study aims to investigate the relationship between digital marketing, its tools and the presence on social networks by brands with online sustainability communication and, thus, test the proposed structural model. In this sense, in the empirical part, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 423 participants, 149 (35.2%) men, 273 (64.5%) women and 1 (0.2%) participants of another gender, with an average age of 42.74% (SD = 15.94%), who responded to measures aimed at evaluating the presence of brands on social networks, the use of digital marketing by organizations, the importance attached to digital marketing tools and online sustainability communication. After performing the path analysis, the validation, or not, of the five research hypotheses formulated is presented. The results obtained indicate the existence of a relationship between digital marketing and the communication of sustainability through digital. Subsequently, practical examples of the use of digital marketing, its tools and social networks to promote sustainability and communicate it better are discussed

description: Covid-19 and the public health policies emerging in response have laid bare a multiplicity of issues related to educational access and knowledge equity on a global scale. Among these, the quick shift to online and hybrid education models led teachers to adapt a plethora of digital platforms to deliver content and sponsor interactions). Such platforms range from institutionally sanctioned (and subscribed) Learning Management Systems (LMSs) to software provided by organizations beyond the institution and can pose a threat to student data and privacy. Data surveillance in educational contexts is not a new issue, nor is it only a strictly digital problem. However, the current milieu of constant and continuing public health crises has led to more frequent, uncritical, and hurried adoption of learning technologies. This article challenges professionals in higher education specifically to take a more critical look at the various EdTech platforms they are, have, and will adopt in the post-COVID-19 era, and the spectrum of surveillance such platforms enact. Through a review of common entities such as LMSs, Google Workspace for Education, and Zoom video conferencing software, this article demonstrates how these technologies place both teachers and students in a relationship to data and learning characterised by “epistemic inequality” or “unequal access to learning imposed by private commercial mechanisms''. By taking a closer look at the problematic surveillance functioning across EdTech, this article makes a case for Commons-based Peer Production communities as equitable, open educational alternatives that have resisted market-based neoliberalism and surveillance capitalism.

description: The fundamental efficiency limit of a single bandgap solar cell is about 31% at one sun with a bandgap of about Eg = 1.35 eV (1), determined by the trade-off of maximising current with a smaller bandgap and voltage with a larger bandgap. Multiple bandgaps can be introduced to absorb the broad solar spectrum more efficiently. This can be realised in multi- junction cells, for example, where two or more cells are stacked on top of each other either mechanically or monolithically connected by a tunnel junction. An alternative or complementary (see section 1.4) approach is the quantum well cell (QWC).

description: We study the behavior of a single laser-driven trapped ion inside a microscopic optical Fabry-Perot cavity. In particular, we demonstrate a fiber Fabry-Perot cavity operating on the principal $S_{1/2}\to P_{1/2}$ electric dipole transition of an Yb$^+$ ion at $369\,$nm with an atom-ion coupling strength of $g=2π\times 67(1)\,$MHz. We employ the cavity to study the generation of single photons and observe cavity-induced back-action in the Purcell-enhanced emission of photons. Tuning of the amplitude and phase of the back-action allows us to enhance or suppress the total rate of photoemission from the ion-cavity system.

description: In welchem Kontext agieren Museen heute? Welche Rolle spielt das politische Selbstverständnis der Gesellschaft in der Art und Weise wie Sammlungen kommuniziert und Kulturinteressierte einbezogen werden?
Ein Rückblick auf die Entwicklung der europäischen Museen zeigt, wie sich die Einrichtungen von privaten Studierstuben zu öffentlichen Beteiligungszentren entwickelt haben. Gesellschaftspolitische Prozesse führten zu einem neuen demokratischen Selbstverständnis, zu größeren Freiheiten, zu persönlicher Autonomie und Selbstentfaltung. Das Web als sozialer und politischer Raum ist Ausdruck und Verstärker des neuen Selbstwertgefühls einer demokratischen Gesellschaft.
Dem traditionellen Auftrag der Museen, kulturelles Erbe zu bewahren, steht nun stärker das neue Bedürfnis der Kulturinteressierten gegenüber: das Teilen. Die Expertise der Einrichtungen kann viel breiter geteilt und kommuniziert werden - analog und digital. Bewahren und Teilen brauchen eine stärkere Balance in der Ausrichtung der Museen. Vier Anregungen:
Museen öffnen sich digital, indem sie den freien Zugang und die Nutzung der Digitalisate und Daten ermöglichen.
Teilen erfordert den Mut, Kontrolle abzugeben und Ownership zu hinterfragen.
Prototyping wird zunehmend wichtiger, um die Wirkung neuer und bestehender Beteiligungsansätze besser zu verstehen.
Teilen bedeutet, sich an politischen Diskursen aktiv zu beteiligen.
Die Expertise der Museen - wenn geteilt - stärkt die Demokratie und kann den Einrichtungen größere Relevanz im Alltag verleihen.

Multimessenger Observations of Merging Massive Black Holes with LISA and NASA's Electromagnetic Observatories
Creators: name: Futrowsky, Kate
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is expected to observe the gravitational radiation emitted from the inspiral and merger of massive black hole binaries (MBHBs). Although detection of the gravitational wave (GW) signals alone from such events will lead to significant scientific advancements, multimessenger observations with LISA and electromagnetic (EM) observatories such as the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will enable advances across astrophysics which are impossible with only GW or EM observations. It is therefore important to develop strategies for the successful completion of such observations, as the number of multimessenger MBHB mergers over LISA’s 4-year lifespan may be as low as a few events. Detecting EM counterparts to GW events observed by LISA may be feasible with Roman and other NASA observatories across the EM spectrum.

description: Background/Objective: Amblyopia is one of the leading causes of monocular vision loss in children in Portugal, affecting 1 to 4% of children. Diagnosis and treatment of amblyopia at an early stage can prevent visual impairment, and thus the Children's Eye Defects Screening (CEDS) was implemented in primary care health centres nationwide with the aim to identify children with eye changes capable of causing amblyopia.The primary objectives of this study were to compare the proportion of screenings conducted in the different municipalities and the possible interference of the typology of functional units in adherence to screening. Methods: An exploratory analysis using R Software was performed on the standardised screening data to identify differences between the 11 primary care health centres in the Region of Aveiro. In addition, an inferential analysis was performed using non-parametric tests such as the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Wilcoxon test, both used to verify whether there are significant differences between the analysed groups. Results: It is possible to observe that the results obtained in 2021 were abnormal because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which lead to an increase in the number of screenings in 2022. The family health units had higher numbers of requests generated, screening attendances, and reports than personalised health care units, especially in 2021 and 2022. Most of the screening results were negative, with approximately 10% of screenings being positive and roughly 1% of scans being inconclusive. There also appears to be a growing trend of positive results in some municipalities, which may result from a higher reach to the target population of this screening. Conclusions: The purpose of our statistical analysis was to identify differences between the primary health centres in Region of Aveiro. Our results show that might be useful to perform further studies in order to address potential inequities regarding CEDS access.

Spectral imbalance in the inertial range dynamics of decaying rotating turbulence

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Direct numerical simulations of homogeneous decaying turbulence with mild background rotation show the existence of a systematic and significant imbalance between the non-linear energy cascade to small scales and its dissipation. By starting the decay from a statistically stationary and fully developed rotating turbulence state, where the dissipation and the energy flux are approximately equal, the data shows a growing imbalance between the two until a maximum is reached when the dissipation is about twice the energy flux. This dichotomy of behaviours during decay is reminiscent of the non-equilibrium and the equilibrium regions previously reported for non-rotating turbulence [P.C. Valente, J.C. Vassilicos, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 108} 214503 (2012)]. Note, however, that for decaying rotating turbulence the classical scaling of the dissipation rate $ε\propto u'^3/L$ (where $u'$ and $L$ are the root mean square fluctuating velocity and the integral length scale, respectively) does not appear to hold during decay, which may be attributed to the effect of the background rotation on the energy cascade. On the other hand, the maximum energy flux holds the scaling $Π_{max} \propto u'^3/L$ in the initial stage of the decay until the maximum imbalance is reached.

description: Background/Objective: Occupational health is a multidisciplinary activity aiming to keep people mentally and physically well and safe at work. In nurses, it has deserved a particular attention, considering the complexity and demanding nature of the job. The current study aims to investigate the association between psychosocial variables, including coping with work (BriefCOPE) and psychosocial factors of work (COPSOQ-II), and ability to work (WAI) among Portuguese nurses. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study with 111 Portuguese nurses was conducted and the outcome measures include socio-demographical variables, COPSOQ, BriefCOPE and WAI. To study the variables presented in the original database, a sociodemographic characterization was performed, followed by an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to the COPSOQ and BriefCOPE dimensions. To quantify, test and confirm the results obtained in the previous analyses, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed. Results: Key coping dimensions were closely associated with better ability to work among nurses, particularly the use of instrumental support, planning, quantitative demands, and emotional demands. The EFA for BriefCOPE suggested a 5-factor structure, which is a slightly different factor structure for the corresponding 3 theoretical dimensions, and the CFA results show that the model is not fit to the data. Regarding the COPSOQ-II scale, the EFA suggested the same 8-factor structure of the original scale’s theoretical model. For this scale, most of values obtained in CFA are consistent with the cut-off values, so a fit of the model to the data is possible. Conclusions: The current study focus on potential factors playing a role in key well-being and coping with work outcomes on the psychosocial characterization of Portuguese nurses.

In this case we propose an alternative method, also based on electric transport measurements, which exploits temperature dependence of the second derivative of the resistivity upon magnetic field.

Year: 2023

description: Background/Objective: Technological evolution is increasingly making real the elements necessary for the daily practice of personalized medicine, an improved vision of health care whose decisions regarding prognosis, diagnosis and therapeutic strategies depend on the patient's various characteristics. This approach leads to the collection and use of information that is broad in extension and complexity, for which dimensionality reduction techniques are imperative, in order to simplify and understand it. This paper aims to show the value of the ClustOfVar technique, a variable clustering technique capable of dealing with mixed data, resulting in data reduction. Through its hierarchical and non-hierarchical approaches, it replaces sample variables with representative synthetic variables. This dimensional reduction can be extended to individuals by applying Ward's method. Methods: The cleaning process of anthropometric, obstetric, vital signs and pubertal status data from 700 participants of the Generation XXI cohort and/or their mothers led to variables being removed (181 down to 105 variables, 82 quantitative and 23 qualitative). Then, the hierarchical technique of the ClustOfVar package was applied, which started by building a hierarchy of variables. The optimal number of clusters was then determined, considering the aggregation level plot and the bootstrap methodology, and each cluster was characterized. The partition into clusters was then tried with the non-hierarchical process. Once the partition was defined, Ward's method was applied, dividing the participants into clusters. We finished with their description according to the synthetic variables. Results: The partition in 8 clusters of variables suggested by the hierarchical technique was chosen, with the first and third cluster being filled mainly by maternal characteristics (relating mainly to menstruation and physical measurements, respectively). While cluster 2 mixes maternal and individual characteristics, cluster 4 contains only patient variables at birth. Cluster 5 is the most diverse, with anthropometric and related measurements of vital signs and blood macromolecules. Cluster 6 has total mass and fat measurements. Finally, cluster 7 is related to pubertal status variables, and cluster 8 includes cholesterol variables. The clustering of individuals results in the creation of specific profiles for each of the 8 clusters of individuals. Conclusions: The ClustOfVar technique accomplishes a data transformation relevant to the dispersion of personalized medicine. However, it lacks the ability to deal with high proportions of missing data and its bootstrap process is very time-consuming.

description: Background/Objective: Over the last few years, new statistical techniques have been developed in the context of multivariate analysis, which are proving to be very useful in the social or health sciences, even marketing. The aim of this work was to study the interplay between 3 scales: BriefCOPE for evaluating coping strategies; COPSOQII for assessing psychosocial factors; and WAI for assessing work ability. Methods: Considering a subpopulation of physicians (n=35) we applied the Partial Least Squares Structure Equations Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique to study the relation between the 3 scales. Results: Regarding the analysis of BriefCOPE and WAI, the only BriefCOPE domain significantly related to WAI was ‘Strategies focused on emotions’ (β=0.329;p=0.038). In COPSOQII and WAI analysis, the COPSOQII domain ‘Health and wellness’ was significantly associated with WAI (β= 0.599; p<0.001) with a strong effect. In final model regarding the three scales, we could observe that the apparent relationship between WAI and ‘Strategies focused on emotions' (BriefCOPE) is mediated by the COPSOQII domain ‘Health and wellness’ (p = 0.047), which shows that there is small effect between the BriefCOPE and WAI. Conclusions: This study is the first to test relationships between these three scales simultaneously. Using a PLS-SEM approach to analyse the data, the results of the present study highlight the central role of ‘Health and wellness’ in work ability and in the mediation between coping ‘Strategies focused on emotions’ and work ability. These data suggest that employers should implement organizational policies that enhance health and well-being in order to achieve better performance from their employees.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Let $\textbf{X} = (X_1,\ldots, X_p)$ be a stochastic vector having joint density function $f_{\textbf{X}}(x)$ with partitions $\textbf{X}_1 = (X_1,\ldots, X_k)$ and $\textbf{X}_2 = (X_{k+1},\ldots, X_p)$. A new method for estimating the conditional density function of $\textbf{X}_1$ given $\textbf{X}_2$ is presented. It is based on locally Gaussian approximations, but simplified in order to tackle the curse of dimensionality in multivariate applications, where both response and explanatory variables can be vectors. We compare our method to some available competitors, and the error of approximation is shown to be small in a series of examples using real and simulated data, and the estimator is shown to be particularly robust against noise caused by independent variables. We also present examples of practical applications of our conditional density estimator in the analysis of time series. Typical values for $k$ in our examples are 1 and 2, and we include simulation experiments with values of $p$ up to 6. Large sample theory is established under a strong mixing condition.

description: Background/Objective: Individual health and organizational performance are strongly influenced by how people manage stress, or how they cope. Analysis and understanding of bidirectional association of BriefCOPE and COPSOQII and a unidirectional association of these two with “Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT)”, a Portuguese version of Work Ability Index (WAI) in a health care professionals (e.g. Physicians, Nurses…) database (incomplete cases: n=909, complete cases: n=652). Methods: The Brief-COPE is a 28 item self-report questionnaire designed to measure effective and ineffective ways to cope with a stressful life event. The psychosocial factors of work were evaluated using the COPSOQII. This questionnaire comprises 76 items divided into 29 scales. The WAI assesses the work ability, considering their health status, physical and mental demands, and work-related resources. To explore the association between Sociodemographic variables, BrieCOPE and COPSOQII with WAI, the chi-squared test (for categorical variables) and the Kruskal-Wallis test (for quantitative variables) were applied. Exploratory Factorial Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factorial Analysis (CFA) methods todetermine the model structure and fitness were also used. Results: The WAI classification for the health care professionals was: poor/moderate (n=123; 18.9%), good (n=349, 53.5%), excellent (n=180, 27.6%). The sociodemographic variables showed no significant association with WAI categories. For the BriefCOPE scale, significant results were found with WAI categories in 8 of 14 dimensions (e.g active coping, denial, and substance use). For the COPSOQII scale, significant results were found with WAI categories in 28 of 29 dimensions (e.g work pace, burnout, and bullying). By EFA, the best model of BriefCOPE (oblimin rotation) with 4 dimensions was obtained, explaining in total 55% of the data variance. The best resulting model for COPSOQII, composed of 7 dimensions (varimax rotation), explains 63% of the total variance. These best models were used to be compared to the respective CFA. The results for the CFAs were not satisfactory given that the CFI and TLI indices were not good. Conclusions: The main conclusion is that the fitting of the models does not have good results, even considering the models proposed by EFA. This might be explained due to the aggregation of all heath care professionals since different types of healthcare professionals have different work environments and demands.

description: The aim of the Human Behavior Monitoring and Support (HBMS) project has been to actively assist individuals in activities of daily living and other situations using users’ own episodic knowledge. This knowledge is represented and preserved in HBMS in the HCM, the Human Cognitive Model, expressed in the domain specific modelling language HCM-L. HCM also forms the base for reasoning, model matching and support state visualization. Moreover, in the HBMS-System conceptual models are also used to define interfaces to activity recognition systems, support clients and data available in the Semantic Web. Thus, we see HBMS-System as an application of the Model Centered Architecture (MCA) paradigm. This paper describes how the project evolved over time, its main challenges and milestones, its main processes and their dependencies, and what is going to happen in the next future.

description: Black phosphorus (BP) tunneling transistors (TFETs) using heterojunction (He) are investigated by atomistic quantum transport simulations. It is observed that edge states have a great impact on transport characteristics of BP He-TFETs, which result in the potential pinning effect and deteriorate the gate control. While, on-state current can be effectively enhanced by using hydrogen to saturate the edge dangling bonds in BP He-TFETs, in which edge states are quenched. By extending layered BP with a smaller band gap to the channel region and modulating the BP thickness, device performance of BP He-TFETs can be further optimized and fulfill the requirements of the international technology road-map for semiconductors (ITRS) 2013 for low power applications. In 15 nm 3L-1L and 4L-1L BP He-TFETs along armchair direction on-state current can reach above 10$^3$ $μ$A/$μ$m with the fixed off-state current of 10 $pA/μ$m. It is also found that ambipolar effect can be effectively suppressed in BP He-TFETs.

description: Background/Objective: Most individuals recover after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, but some may suffer persistent symptoms with potential medium and long-term consequences. The present study aims to analyze self-perceived functioning concerning existing symptoms 12 months after SARS-CoV-2 infection in workers of an industrial facility in the Aveiro Region. Methods: Observational study, including workers with a positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR/TRAg test. After 12 months of the infection, the occupational health team collected information on sociodemographic variables, manifested symptoms, and perceived functioning assessed using the WHODAS-2.0–12 items - where '12 points' means the highest functioning. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate linear regression. Results: Eighty-five workers were infected with SARS-CoV-2, 77.7% were male, with a mean age of 36y1m±9y8m, 36.8% have a higher education level and 17.7% reported at least one chronic condition. Thirty workers (35.3%) reported persistent symptoms, with fatigue (27.7%) and arthralgia (14.4%) being the most described. Whodas 2.0 mean score was 15,7±5,0, and items most frequently reported as presenting limitations were difficulties in working (43.5%), concentrating (35.3%), and walking one kilometer (35.3%). Self-perceived functioning depended on educational level (β=-2.37, CI95% -4.53 ; -0.21) or the existence of a chronic illness (β=3.53, CI95% 0.81 ; 6.24), and the level of functioning is associated with the persistence of symptoms of fatigue (β=4.02, CI95% 1.75 ; 6.29), headache (β=4.13, CI95% 0.84 ; 7.42), and myalgia (β=3.30, CI95% 0.14 ; 6.45). Conclusions: Persistent symptoms 12 months after symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection have an influence on self-perceived functioning. Occupational health services should regularly address the assessment of persistent symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection to prevent possible impacts on daily activities and participation.

description: In (3 + 1) spacetime dimensions the Rainich conditions are a set of equations expressed solely in terms of the metric tensor which are equivalent to the Einstein-Maxwell equations for non-null electromagnetic fields. Here we provide the analogous conditions for (2 + 1)-dimensional gravity coupled to electromagnetism. Both the non-null and null cases are treated. The construction of these conditions is based upon reducing the problem to that of gravity coupled to a scalar field, which we have treated elsewhere. These conditions can be easily extended to other theories of (2 + 1)-dimensional gravity. For example, we apply the geometrization conditions to topologically massive gravity coupled to the electromagnetic field and obtain a family of plane-fronted wave solutions.
