description: Abstract:

While classical physics provides an excellent description of macroscopic phenomena, its limitations become evident at Planck-scale energies, strong gravitational fields, and quantum domains. Recent advances in quantum field theory, semiclassical gravity, and high-energy physics suggest that classical equations—such as Einstein’s field equations, Newtonian mechanics, and thermodynamic laws—may require quantum corrections to fully describe physical reality.

This paper explores how quantum modifications impact gravitational interactions, energy conservation laws, and spacetime geometry, refining classical equations to incorporate vacuum fluctuations, quantum entanglement effects, and higher-order curvature corrections. Using tools from effective field theory, loop quantum gravity, and holography, we analyze potential deviations from General Relativity and classical mechanics, assessing their observational signatures in gravitational waves, black hole entropy, and high-energy particle interactions.

Key Highlights:

Quantum corrections to Einstein’s field equations and modifications to spacetime curvature.

Refinements to classical energy conservation laws in the presence of quantum fluctuations.

Modified Newtonian dynamics and implications for dark matter and cosmology.

Holographic perspectives on energy-momentum conservation and quantum vacuum effects.

Experimental constraints from gravitational wave detectors, black hole thermodynamics, and cosmological surveys.

By merging quantum field theory with classical gravitational physics, this work presents a refined theoretical framework that offers testable predictions for deviations from classical equations, advancing our understanding of the quantum foundations of spacetime and energy dynamics.

Keywords: Quantum corrections, classical physics, semiclassical gravity, Einstein field equations, quantum fluctuations, modified Newtonian dynamics, gravitational waves, loop quantum gravity, holography, energy conservation.

description: This post-hoc analysis estimated annual indirect cost savings with galcanezumab (GMB) treatment in patients with episodic migraine (EM) or chronic migraine (CM). Data from 4 randomized, Phase 3, double-blind (DB), placebo (PBO)-controlled studies of GMB were analyzed: EVOLVE-1 and EVOLVE-2 (EM, 6-months DB), REGAIN (CM, 3-months DB), and CONQUER (previous failure of 2–4 migraine preventive medication categories, 3-months DB). Indirect costs were calculated at baseline and Month 3 using the first 2 items in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS): (A + B)/60*country specific annual wage (A = days of missed work/school; B = days of reduced productivity at work/school; assuming 60 working days in 3 months). All costs were annualized and expressed in international dollars (Int$) in 2018. ANCOVA models estimated the indirect cost savings as a change from baseline. Secondary analyses determined cost savings by employment and responder status. Patients (>80% females) from EVOLVE-1 and −2 (n = 1,201; mean age 41.9 years), REGAIN (n = 759; mean age 41.3 years), and CONQUER (n = 453; mean age ∼46.0 years) were analyzed. GMB showed significant indirect cost savings for EM (Int$6256, p p = .0002), with substantial savings for patients with previous failure of 2–4 migraine preventive medication categories (EM: Int$5664, p = .0030; CM: Int$5181, p = .1300). Compared with PBO, GMB showed significantly greater indirect cost savings for EM (p = .0156) and patients with previous failure of 2–4 migraine preventive medication categories (p = .0340). Employed patients with CM (p = .0018) and with previous failure of 2–4 migraine preventive medication categories (p GMB treatment resulted in annual indirect cost savings in patients with EM, CM, and with previous failure of 2–4 migraine preventive medication categories, with similar observations in the sensitivity analyses.

 Now Melanocorypha calandra psammochroa Hartert, 1904. See Vaurie, 1959: 34, and Dickinson et al., 2001a: 89.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 555130, adult male, collected at Dor Baˉdaˉm (= Dur Badom), 37°30′N, 58°25′E (Times Atlas), eastern Iran, on 14 November (Russian calendar) 1898, by N. Zarudny (no. 4420). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: The number 14 appears in red on the original label, and it was this number that was cited by Hartert in the original description. It is the number of this specimen within the Zarudny series, and each specimen has a unique number. The number 4420 is written in the same ink as the rest of Zarudny’s label and this appears to be the original field number. The remainder of the Zarudny series of this taxon are paratypes: AMNH 555131–555140; judging by the localities given in the description, there are others.
This description appears in volume 1 of Hartert’s ‘‘Die Vögel der Paläarktischen Fauna’’, the publication date of which (on the title page) is 1910. However, various parts of the first volume have different publication dates, as listed by Hartert on p. xiii. Part 2, pages 113–240, including the description of this taxon, was published in June 1904.

description: Genome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) control post-transcriptional gene expression critical for various cellular processes. Recently, we have invented a novel platform technology to achieve high-yield production of fully humanized, bioengineered miRNA agents (hBERAs) for research and development. This study is aimed to produce and utilize a new biologic miR-34a-5p (or miR-34a) molecule, namely, hBERA/miR-34a, to delineate the role of miR-34a-5p in the regulation of mitochondrial functions in human carcinoma cells. Bioengineered hBERA/miR-34a was produced through in vivo fermentation production and purified by anion exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. hEBRA/miR-34a was processed to target miR-34a-5p in human osteosarcoma and lung cancer cells, as determined by selective stem-loop reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. The mitochondrial inner membrane protein MPV17 like 2 (MPV17L2) was validated as a direct target for miR-34a-5p by dual luciferase reporter assay. Western blot analysis revealed that bioengineered miR-34a-5p effectively reduced MPV17L2 protein outcomes, leading to much lower levels of respiratory chain Complex I activities and intracellular ATP that were determined with specific assay kits. Moreover, Seahorse Mito Stress Test assay was conducted, and the results showed that biologic miR-34a-5p sharply reduced cancer cell mitochondrial respiration capacity, accompanied by a remarkable increase of oxidative stress and elevated apoptotic cell death, which are manifested by greater levels of reactive oxygen species and selective apoptosis biomarkers, respectively. These results demonstrate the presence and involvement of the miR-34a-5p-MPV17L2 pathway in the control of mitochondrial functions in human carcinoma cells and support the utility of novel bioengineered miRNA molecules for functional studies.

title: Construction And Representation of Cultural Trauma in Contemporary Ukrainian Cinema

Year: 2023

description: Ukrainian history has numerously been marked by large-scale historical events that caused cultural trauma and thus influenced and transformed Ukrainian art and cinema. Studying contemporary Ukrainian cinema within the context of cultural trauma is crucial for understanding the impact of historical and socio-cultural events on the country’s contemporary cinema. On the one hand, such an approach helps expand knowledge of traumatic events’ cultural manifestations and their impact on national memory and identity. On the other hand, the cinema itself could be viewed as a commemorative practice to overcome cultural trauma. This article explores selected films of contemporary Ukrainian cinema through the lens of cultural trauma and how it could be represented through the audio-visual language of the cinema. The concepts of cultural and psychological trauma through sociological and psychological theories are used to read and decode the films (feature live-action films and documentaries). The article also features a brief overview of the history of Ukrainian cinema through the lens of cultural trauma theory, which allows to trace which particular images and film language have been transferred to contemporary Ukrainian cinema due to cultural trauma.

Federico García Lorca’s poetry in English : translating the margins
Creators: name: Brown, Karen Angella
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2021

description: Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) boasts a rich textual afterlife through translation. Thus far, academic research has largely neglected the study of the translated texts themselves, particularly the repeated renderings of his poetry collections into English. The current study seeks to address the imbalance by examining extracts from Lorca’s three most frequently translated poetry volumes: Romancero gitano / Gypsy Ballads; Poeta en Nueva York / Poet in New York; and Sonetos del amor oscuro / Sonnets of Dark Love. Two of the most persistent features of contemporary discourses surrounding Lorca are: first, the tendency to inquire whether prevailing perceptions of him as a political figure are warranted, and second, a preoccupation with his critical reception in the United States and Great Britain between the late 1930s and mid- 1960s, this being the inception point where Lorca the poet was opportunistically transformed into Lorca the left leaning social justice activist. No doubt, the traumatic circumstances of his death and the disappearance of his body at the start of the Spanish Civil War fuelled such discourses, but recent studies have also claimed that Lorca’s image has been manipulated for ideological and political reasons through the translations themselves. This study interrogates whether such claims are justified in the case of Lorca’s poetry in English. Its purpose is to investigate how the translators have dealt with the overarching theme of social marginality that is already encoded in Lorca’s œuvre. In so doing, the thesis also postulates a response to the implicit query of whether the translated poetry evinces motives among the translators to control or manipulate Lorca’s image for ideological and/or political reasons.
Cham Ahiér also known as “Localized Cham-Hinduism”, “Agama Cham”, “Agama Ahiér”
Creators: name: Noseworthy, William

description: Cham Ahiér are a religious community in what is now Vietnam that have practiced a unique religion from the 17th century to the present. Elements of this religion, such as ancestor veneration, or the worship of animistic dieties and Hindu gods, likely existed in their community from at least as early as the 4th century. However, beginning in the 10th century, some Cham communities began to become influenced by Islam as well. During the seventeenth century, the contemporary form of Cham Ahiér religion became more standardized, as rulers from the Kingdom of Panduranga encouraged practices that blended concepts from the Cham Awal - who practiced a localized form of Islam - and the Cham Ahiér, whose practice is predominantly based on a Brahmanic form of Hinduism. Today, the Cham Ahiér are predominantly Hindu practitioners, although the religion exhibits flares of animistic, shamanistic, and Islamic influence.

 Melanocorypha rufescens Brehm, 1855: 120 (Im Winter im Sudahn, auf dem Zuge wohl zuweiten im südöstlichen Europa).
 Now Melanocorypha bimaculata rufescens Brehm, 1855. See Vaurie, 1959: 35, and Cramp, 1988: 103.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457663, female, collected on ‘‘blauer fluss’’ (= Blue Nile), Sudan, in December 1850, by A.E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: The above specimen has rufescens written on the original label in Brehm’s hand. It seems to be the only specimen of this form that came to AMNH, and Hartert (1918b: 17) designated it the lectotype. A second specimen, AMNH 457664, identified in the catalog as M. bimaculata rufescens, is Melanocorypha yeltoniensis from ‘‘Deserta tatarica’’.
 Wolters (1952: 281) proposed Melanocorypha bimaculata meinertzhageni as a new name for Melanocorypha rufescens Brehm, which became preoccupied by Alauda (= Calandrella) rufescens Vieillot, 1820, when Wolters merged Calandrella with Melanocorypha. Most subsequent authors have not accepted this merger (see, for example, Keith et al., 1992: 70), so rufescens is retained under the provisions of the Code (ICZN, 1999, Art. 59.3).

Journals 2.0: a roadmap to reinvent scientific publishing
Creators: name: Kamoun, Sophien
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: science, publishing, communication, preprints

description: This vision describes a radically different publishing model that would reinvent the concept of a scientific journal into a live and open forum of scientific debate and analysis. This model centers on a full integration of the preprint ecosystem into the journal interface. The journal would only accept submission of articles that have been posted as preprints. All evaluations and commissioned reviews of submitted articles would be published as soon as received on the journal website and linked to the preprint version. Editors would operate as always sifting through submitted papers and seeking external reviewers when necessary. But they will also consider author-led and community crowdsourced reviews, which would be appended to the preprint. As the reviews accumulate and revisions are submitted, the journal editors would initiate a consultation process, and when satisfied with a given version promote it to a formal article. The editor’s role becomes more akin to moderator than gatekeeper. The process doesn’t have to be static. As the community further comments on the article and follow-up studies are published, editors may decide to commission synthetic review or commentary articles to address emerging issues. I would also envision that the paper is linked to related articles in a “knowledge network” database, and that article tags are revised to reflect new knowledge, e.g. “independently validated”. The journal would therefore become less of a static repository of scientific articles, and more of a moderated forum of scientific discussion. To implement this vision of journals 2.0, the following roadmap would need to be implemented: Funding bodies to mandate preprints for their grantees. Integrate the preprint ecosystem into the journal. Every submitted article receives at least an editorial evaluation. Live peer review according to a hybrid model of editor-, author-, and community-led reviewing. Formal publication of articles.

description: Abstract:

Quantum entanglement is one of the most intriguing and fundamental phenomena in modern physics, challenging classical notions of locality and reality. Since the pioneering work of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR), Bell’s Theorem, and experimental verifications via quantum teleportation and non-local correlations, entanglement has evolved from a theoretical curiosity to a foundational principle shaping our understanding of spacetime, information theory, and quantum gravity.

This paper explores the role of quantum entanglement in shaping the fabric of reality, examining its implications for emergent spacetime models, holographic principles, and quantum gravity frameworks. We analyze whether entanglement structures could be responsible for the geometric properties of spacetime, discussing recent advancements in the ER=EPR conjecture, tensor networks, and entanglement entropy in black hole physics. Additionally, we investigate potential experimental tests of entanglement-driven spacetime models, including gravitational wave correlations and high-energy quantum information experiments.

Key Highlights:

Entanglement as a fundamental component of reality, influencing spacetime emergence.

Holography and ER=EPR conjecture, linking quantum information with gravitational theories.

Experimental tests of entanglement-induced spacetime structure using quantum simulations and cosmological data.

Implications for black hole entropy, wormhole physics, and non-local quantum correlations.

Bridging quantum information theory with fundamental physics, proposing testable frameworks for spacetime construction.

By merging quantum mechanics, information theory, and gravitational physics, this work provides a new perspective on the nature of reality, suggesting that entanglement may serve as the foundational link between quantum mechanics and the structure of spacetime.

Keywords: Quantum entanglement, holography, ER=EPR, emergent spacetime, black hole information, tensor networks, Bell’s theorem, non-locality, quantum gravity, fundamental physics.

 Melanocorypha tenuirostris Brehm, 1845, col. 346 (no locality given).
 Now Calandrella brachydactyla brachydactyla (Leisler, 1814). See Hartert, 1918b: 18, and Cramp, 1988: 123.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 457671, adult male, collected in Attica, Greece, in April 1845. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918b: 18) designated the above specimen the lectotype. A second specimen labeled tenuirostris by Brehm and collected in Attica in May 1845 is now AMNH 457672; this specimen is a paralectotype. A third specimen, AMNH 457670, was collected by A.E. Brehm in Madrid in 1857, too late to have been a part of the original series.
No locality was given in the original description, but Brehm (1855: 121) gave the locality as ‘‘In Griechenland und bei Triest’’.

description: He who has studied himself is his own master. –Sri Lankan proverb. By the time this gets posted, you’ll probably be sick and tired of all those retrospective articles looking back at the 2010-2019 decade. I feel your pain. But hey, we’re still early in the new decade and I have a good reason for writing this. This last decade has been such an exhilarating period of exploration and discovery for me, my team and my collaborators that I just can’t resist the urge to write this post. The decade took us through unexpected research paths that I would have never imagined ten years ago. As I’m drafting these words during my holidays break in Sri Lanka—in between tasting the local milk rice curries and soaking the soft Indian ocean December sunshine—I’m reflecting on the local proverb above and I’m using it as my lame excuse to offer you yet another list of decadal achievements. Please note that this is my personal highly biased perspective on ten things we have learned in 2010-2019. This list is by no means meant to be comprehensive review of advances in our research field but rather a reflection of my own personal take on the scientific topics we investigate. 2010. Two-speed genomes, everywhere? 2011. WY fold—commonalities amid diversity. 2011. The haustorial interface—where it all happens? 2013. Genome editing made easy. 2013. Field pathogenomics—just sequence it! 2013. Going back to the past to better prepare for the future. 2014. Effector adaptation after jumping hosts. 2015. The beauty of a protein complex structure. 2017. Do NLRs work in pairs—it’s more complicated! 2019. The coming of age of the plant resistosome.

title: Discourses of education, protection, and child labor: case studies of Benin, Namibia and Swaziland
Creators: name: Nordtveit, Bjorn
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2010

description: This article analyses discontinuities between local, national and international discourse in the fields of education, protection of children, and child labor, using Benin, Namibia and Swaziland as case studies. In Benin, child abuse and child labor are related to poverty, whereas in Namibia and Swaziland they are also interrelated with HIV/AIDS. In these countries, the notion of childhood is seen as continuous with adulthood, and the change from education to work is not abrupt and age-determined, but a smooth transition. The international discourse defines children in binary terms (child or adult), and promotes free and compulsory education for children, without recognizing the direct and indirect costs of education. Projects based on an international discourse may have little relevance in a poverty context where it is natural to make children work to ensure food safety. Local communities consider children from a logic of community survival; the external aid agencies consider them from a logic of individual children's rights. There is a need to find a bridge between these two interpretations of childhood.
