description: We discuss the $t$-$J$-$U$ model in the mean-field approximation. The role of spin-exchange coupling $J$ and the second nearest hopping $t'$ are examined in the context of the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and antiferromagnetism (AF). Stability of the phases is studied with respect to temperature. The coexistence region exists for the sufficiently large Coulomb repulsion ($U>U_{cr}$), and in the vicinity of the half-filled band (hole doping $δ< δ_{cr}$). The critical hole doping is relatively small ($δ_{cr} \approx 0.006$ for $J/|t| = 1/3$) and linear with respect to $J$. The decrease of $U_{cr}$ is proportional to $J$, except the limit of small $J$ ($J/|t|< 0.03)$, where $U_{cr}$ grows rapidly with decreasing $J$. The effect of the second nearest hopping is limited -- the phase diagram does not change in a qualitative manner when the $t'$ value is changed. In the limit of $T \rightarrow 0$, SC phase is stable even for large hole-doping (such as $δ= 0.5$). Additional paramagnetic (PM) phase appears for large $δ$ or small $U$ at non-zero temperature. When temperature increases, both SC and AF+SC phase regions are reduced.

description: The magnetic order of the localized Eu$^{2+}$ spins in optimally-doped Eu(Fe$_{1-x}$Ir$_{x}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ ($\mathit{x}$ = 0.12) with superconducting transition temperature $\mathit{T_{SC}}$ = 22 K was investigated by single-crystal neutron diffraction. The Eu$^{2+}$ moments were found to be ferromagnetically aligned along the $\mathit{c}$-direction with an ordered moment of 7.0(1) $μ_{B}$ well below the magnetic phase transition temperature $\mathit{T_{C}}$ = 17 K. No evidence of the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic structural phase transition was found in this compound within the experimental uncertainty, in which the spin-density-wave (SDW) order of the Fe sublattice is supposed to be completely suppressed and the superconductivity gets fully developed. The ferromagnetic groud state of the Eu$^{2+}$ spins in Eu(Fe$_{0.88}$Ir$_{0.12}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ was supported by the first-principles density functional calculation. In addition, comparison of the electronic structure calculations between Eu(Fe$_{0.875}$Ir$_{0.125}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ and the parent compound EuFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ indicates stronger hybridization and more expanded bandwith due to the Ir substitution, which together with the introduction of electrons might work against the Fe-SDW in favor of the superconductivity.

description: Similar to graphene, zero band gap limits the application of silicene in nanoelectronics despite of its high carrier mobility. By using first-principles calculations, we reveal that a band gap is opened in silicene nanomesh (SNM) when the width W of the wall between the neighboring holes is even. The size of the band gap increases with the reduced W and has a simple relation with the ratio of the removed Si atom and the total Si atom numbers of silicene. Quantum transport simulation reveals that the sub-10 nm single-gated SNM field effect transistors show excellent performance at zero temperature but such a performance is greatly degraded at room temperature.

description: • Students in Germany score low on national identity when it is measured with national symbols • Students with immigration backgrounds show lower national identity scores in 20 countries • Over 90% of German students with immigration backgrounds feel a sense of belonging to Germany. • Research instruments measuring national identity must consider transnationality and fluidity. Purpose: This paper aims to analyse the data regarding the national identification and sense of belonging of secondary school students with and without immigration backgrounds collected through the International Civic and Citizenship Study 2016. It also assesses whether the research instruments used are suitable for the German context. Method: Likert scale items measured national identification. Acculturation theory based categories were employed to measure the sense of belonging. Differences between students across and within countries were assessed using t tests. Findings: Students with immigration backgrounds tend to present statistically lower scores for the scale ‘attitudes toward country of residence’ in 20 of 24 participating countries. In international comparison, German students with and without immigration backgrounds score relatively low on all five items of the scale. Despite achieving significantly lower scores for national identification, 90% of students in Germany with immigration backgrounds feel a sense of belonging to Germany.

description: Gel electrophoresis is a powerful experimental method to probe the topology of DNA and other biopolymers. While there is a large body of experimental work which allows us to accurately separate different topoisomers of a molecule, a full theoretical understanding of these experiments has not yet been achieved. Here we show that the mobility of DNA knots depends crucially and subtly on the physical properties of the gel, and in particular on the presence of dangling ends. The topological interactions between these and DNA molecules can be described in terms of an "entanglement number", and yield a non-monotonic mobility at moderate fields. Consequently, in two-dimensional electrophoresis, gel bands display a characteristic arc pattern; this turns into a straight line when the density of dangling ends vanishes. We also provide a novel framework to accurately predict the shape of such arcs as a function of molecule length and topological complexity, which may be used to inform future experiments.

description: Silicene monolayers grown on Ag(111) surfaces demonstrate a band gap that is tunable by oxygen adatoms from semimetallic to semiconducting type. By using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, it is found that the adsorption configurations and amounts of oxygen adatoms on the silicene surface are critical for band-gap engineering, which is dominated by different buckled structures in R13xR13, 4x4, and 2R3x2R3 silicene layers. The Si-O-Si bonds are the most energy-favored species formed on R13xR13, 4x4, and 2R3x2R3 structures under oxidation, which is verified by in-situ Raman spectroscopy as well as first-principles calculations. The silicene monolayers retain their structures when fully covered by oxygen adatoms. Our work demonstrates the feasibility of tuning the band gap of silicene with oxygen adatoms, which, in turn, expands the base of available two-dimensional electronic materials for devices with properties that is hardly achieved with graphene oxide.

Semantic and syntactic change of equis in Mexican Spanish
Creators: name: Kellert, Olga
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: In this paper, we investigate the synchrony and diachrony of the linguistic item equis
 in Mexican Spanish. Its original use is the letter x which stands for some variable
 x. One function that appeared very recently is the discourse function according to
 which equis is used to refer to some utterance from the discourse which denotes a
 proposition and the speaker expresses his indifference whether this proposition is
 true or not, e.g. A: Es verdad. ‘It’s true.’ B: Equis! ‘I don’t care (whether it is true or
 not)’.
 We analyze the diachronic change of equis from a variable-use x into a discourse
 adverb as a shift of indifference over identities of entities into indifference over answers
 to questions under discussion. This semantic shift is syntactically expressed
 as a shift from nominal modifier into sentence modifier. We will argue that indifference
 is pragmatically derived in the case of variable use and is lexically encoded
 in the discourse use.

description: Traveling waves in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates whose dynamics is described by the Manakov limit of the Gross-Pitaevskii equations are considered in general situation with relative motion of the components when their chemical potentials are not equal to each other. It is shown that in this case the solution is reduced to the form known in the theory of motion of S.~Kowalevski top. Typical situations are illustrated by the particular cases when the general solution can be represented in terms of elliptic functions and their limits. Depending on the parameters of the wave, both density waves (with in-phase motions of the components) and polarization waves (with counter-phase their motions) are considered.

description: Luminous distant quasars are unique probes of the high redshift intergalactic medium (IGM) and of the growth of massive galaxies and black holes in the early universe. Absorption due to neutral Hydrogen in the IGM makes quasars beyond a redshift of z~6.5 very faint in the optical $z$-band, thus locating quasars at higher redshifts require large surveys that are sensitive above 1 micron. We report the discovery of three new z>6.5 quasars, corresponding to an age of the universe of <850 Myr, selected as z-band dropouts in the Pan-STARRS1 survey. This increases the number of known z>6.5 quasars from 4 to 7. The quasars have redshifts of z=6.50, 6.52, and 6.66, and include the brightest z-dropout quasar reported to date, PSO J036.5078+03.0498 with M_1450=-27.4. We obtained near-infrared spectroscopy for the quasars and from the MgII line we estimate that the central black holes have masses between 5x10^8 and 4x10^9 M_sun, and are accreting close to the Eddington limit (L_Bol/L_Edd=0.13-1.2). We investigate the ionized regions around the quasars and find near zone radii of R_NZ=1.5-5.2 proper Mpc, confirming the trend of decreasing near zone sizes with increasing redshift found for quasars at 5.7

Communities, Living under Unprecedented Emergencies

description: Munir's socio-eco-environmental approach to environmental education is a conceptual model for communities, living under unprecedented emergencies. According to Munir, decision-making regarding developing environmental literacy programs that support sustainable educational practice should begin with a consideration of socio-economic elements. Initially, a scoping review can help understand how the socio, cultural, and political geography of ABC country shape the ways people interact with each other and their environments. It must be followed by knowing socio-psychological trauma and healing mechanisms through the lens of local people of varied age groups- examining the mental health challenges faced by people during the environmental catastrophe, as well as the resources available to support their well-being and how they contribute to their well-being. A good number of strategies may help, for example, ethnography, interviews, drawing, and photovoice. Next, the state of environmental literacy must be confirmed via desk review followed by behavioral mapping, i.e., awareness, skills, and attitudes, related to environmental issues and ecological identity exploration. Assessing existing knowledge, skills, and attitudes can aid in comprehending the actual opportunities and gaps in delivering an environmental literacy course; and delving into the intricacies of one's relationship with the environment can provide valuable insight into how it influences and molds one's core values, convictions, and actions that may also help in crafting contextual course. To develop a comprehensive course on environmental literacy, a design thinking approach that integrates empathy mapping and ethnographic methods should be employed to identify socio-cultural, educational, and environmental challenges from the perspective of the actual participants who will benefit from the course. Additionally, a shift away from anthropocentrism towards ecocentrism is necessary to draft an effective and impactful course.

description: Flower color is one of the most important traits for ornamental plants. Anthocyanin is the main pigment in flowers and the vegetative tissue in most higher plants. Both wild campanulas and petunias have blue/purple flowers because of the delphinidin-based anthocyanins. However, most of the flower color in the genus Campanula is mostly blue, rarely white, and a very few species are pink, while modern commercial petunias are known for their wide range of flower color in different patterns. Many kinds of research have proven that the R2R3-MYB transcription factors are responsible for regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in different tissues. In Petunia spec., ANTHOCYANIN-2 (AN2) is considered to be the major contributor to coloration in the petal limb, while several other paralogs are involved in other tissues or stress responses. Unlike petunias, which have a convenient system for regeneration and a stable genetic plant transformation, there are no related reports for C. medium. Therefore, an efficient protocol for regeneration and Agrobacterium‑mediated transformation based on leaf disk by using GFP as the reporter gene for C. medium was established in the first part. In the second chapter, two strategies were designed to change the anthocyanin pattern in C. medium. The first is the redirection of delphinidin-based anthocyanins to pelargonidin-based anthocyanins in a blue cultivar. The second strategy was to improve the pigmentation in a pink-flowering variety of C. medium by overexpression of an R2R3-MYB transcription factor (PhAN2). In the third chapter, the same AN2 overexpression vectors used for Campanula and another flowerspecific guided AN2 constructs were also transferred into an an2- genetic petunia cultivar. The results indicated that overexpression of AN2 leads to various physiological changes in addition to increased pigmentation. The mechanism of the flower limb coloration of phenotypically "darkly-veined"petunias, and the roles of different R2R3-MYB genes were characterized in the last part. Overall, several conclusions obtained in this dissertation: (i) genetic transformation of C. medium is available; (ii) PhAN2 and PhAN4 can activate anthocyanin biosynthesis in several tissues of Campanula and Petunia and the role of PhAN2 in plant growth physiology may be diverse; (iii) the restoration of anthocyanins in the petals of commercial "dark-veined" petunias from a whiteflowered ancestor is achieved by up-regulation of AN4 as part of a long-term breeding process by humans rather than by natural selection.

description: This report, conducted with Belong for the UK DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport) presents findings from analyses of three large-scale surveys assessing the relationship between social cohesion and volunteering, and the factors that may encourage or hinder them. The three surveys cover a combined total of approximately 77,000 respondents and cover time periods from 2014-2021. Using multilevel and other analyses we find that horizontal cohesion (cohesion within society) has a bidirectional relationship with volunteering. Volunteering is associated with subsequently greater feelings of cohesion and greater cohesion is associated with a subsequently higher likelihood of volunteering. Vertical cohesion (cohesion with the state) has a unidirectional relationship with volunteering. Volunteering is associated with subsequent feelings of cohesion, but initial feelings of vertical cohesion do not anticipate higher volunteering. The cohesion-volunteering relationship was stronger for formal than for informal volunteering, and there was more variability in the relationship at more granular levels of locality than larger (e.g. regional) levels. The relationship did not vary consistently by demographic categories (gender, age, faith, ethnicity, disability). Time constraints and the COVID pandemic inhibited volunteering as well as social contact. Volunteering to support others was associated with perceptions of higher social cohesion, volunteering to prevent harm was associated with perceptions of lower social cohesion.

description: We propose a novel approach to define and measure the statistics of work, internal energy and dissipated heat in a driven quantum system. In our framework the presence of a physical detector arises naturally and work and its statistics can be investigated in the most general case. In particular, we show that the quantum coherence of the initial state can lead to measurable effects on the moments of the work done on the system. At the same time, we recover the known results if the initial state is a statistical mixture of energy eigenstates. Our method can also be applied to measure the dissipated heat in an open quantum system. By sequentially coupling the system to a detector, we can track the energy dissipated in the environment while accessing only the system degrees of freedom.

description: One of the most efficient ways of generating goal-directed walking motions is synthesising the final motion based on footprints. Nevertheless, current implementations have not examined the generation of continuous motion based on footprints, where different behaviours can be generated automatically. Therefore, in this paper a flexible approach for footprint-driven locomotion composition is presented. The presented solution is based on the ability to generate footprint-driven locomotion, with flexible features like jumping, running, and stair stepping. In addition, the presented system examines the ability of generating the desired motion of the character based on predefined footprint patterns that determine which behaviour should be performed. Finally, it is examined the generation of transition patterns based on the velocity of the root and the number of footsteps required to achieve the target behaviour smoothly and naturally.

description: Abstract: Covid-19 lockdowns dramatically accelerated demand for companion family animals. But increased selective breeding of flat-faced dogs has led to a crisis in associated neurological, skeletal, and airway disorders, where canine quality of life is inadvertently sacrificed for cuteness in appearance. It is suggested that some physical traits are more likely to be found in pedigree dogs afflicted with several genetic developmental disorders, and the exaggeration of these traits worsen the severity of such disorders. However, identifying and grading these traits is impractical without large-scale medical imaging and invasive surgical procedures. A database comprising CT scans obtained from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels was provided to this study, from which cranial models can be generated with computer vision software. A novel low-cost AI methodology has been developed to identify key physical characteristics, present in crania, associated with genetic developmental diseases affecting the Cavalier. Early AI-led results found a significant bulge on the top of the skull linked to neurological disease with near-perfect sensitivity. Continuing developments of this methodology will assist breeders to better develop sustainable, ethical breeding practices for at-risk pedigree dogs and contribute to reducing quality of life issues arising from genetic developmental disorders.

description: In the present study it is shown that the interaction of a quasi-static gravitational wave through density fluctuations gives rise to a heat conductivity coefficient and hence temperature. This fact is a very important characteristics to establish a heat equilibrium process of such massive body as the Earth and other Planets. To carry out this exercise general mechanism has been provided, which makes a bridge between classical physics and quantum theory, and specific dependence of heat conductivity coefficient in wide region is also calculated.

description: As the main tracking detector of BESIII, the drift chamber works for accurate measurements of the tracking and the momentum of the charged particles decayed from the reaction of BEPCII e+ and e-. After operation six years, the drift chamber is suffering from aging problems due to huge beam related background. The gains of the cells in the first ten layers experience an obvious decrease, reaching a maximum of about 29% for the first layer cells. Two calculation methods for the gains change (Bhabha events and accumulated charges with 0.3% aging ratio for inner chamber cells) get almost the same results. For the Malter effect encountered by the inner drift chamber in Jan., 2012, about 0.2% water vapor was added to MDC gas mixture to solve this cathode aging problem. These results provide an important reference for MDC operation high voltage setting and the upgrade of the inner drift chamber.

Daily Symptomology Tracking in Pernicious Anaemia: The Impact of Vitamin B12 Treatment.

description: Introduction: Pernicious Anaemia (PA) is a common, multifactorial disease caused by malabsorption of vitamin B12 (B12) due to a lack of intrinsic factor (IF) because of autoimmune damage to the IF-producing parietal cells lining the stomach. The current maintenance therapy of 1mg intramuscular B12 injections every 2-3 months may be inadequate for 60% of PA patients. If untreated, megaloblastic anaemia and neurological damage ensue. We hypothesise that a personalised approach to PA treatment will improve the quality of life (QOL) among PA patients. We aim to undertake the first large-scale real-time study of symptom range, severity and response to treatment across multiple B12 treatment cycles. Methodology: An initial online survey was developed and distributed to PAS members (www.surveymonkey.com/r/YV6M25Y). Qualtrics was used to create a simple online tool to collect daily data on participants' symptoms, severity (1-10 scale, mild=1, moderate=5, severe=10), and treatment regimen. Descriptive statistics were used to report symptoms' range, severity, and response to B12 treatment. Results: Between April-September 2022, 1182 respondents completed the initial PAS survey. Of these, 50% (n=417) reported receiving treatment within the recommended guidelines; 55% (n=684) expressed dissatisfaction with their current treatment regimen. Eight participants partook in the pilot study for a median of 58 days, during which they received B12 treatment on average 10/58 days and were symptomatic 46/58 days. The most common symptoms and their mean severity were: tiredness (80%, 5.28 [SD1.97]), tinnitus (43%, 4.71 [SD2.09]), and myalgia (33%, 5.17 [SD1.59]). Conclusion: This pilot data provides real-time insight into the large inter-individual variability in the range, severity, and response of PA symptoms across multiple treatment cycles. Most patients report a significant reduction in symptoms using an “individualised” treatment approach, suggesting that a "one-size-fits-all" approach to treating PA is ineffective. Data collection is ongoing by recruiting 200 participants with PA to Phase 2 of the study.

description: We study the interplay between an inhomogeneous quantum quench of the external potential in a system of relativistic fermions in one dimension and the well-known Klein tunneling. We find that the large time evolution is characterized by particle production at a constant rate which we derive analytically. The produced particles can be physically interpreted according to a semiclassical picture and the state reached in the long time limit can be classified as a non-equilibrium-steady-state. Such a quantum quench can be used in order to observe macroscopic effects of Klein tunneling in transport, raising the possibility of an experimental implementation.

description: Parent training is key to the success of treatment for autistic children and has been demonstrated to not only improve child outcomes but also decrease parental stress. However, language barriers have been identified as a key barrier to immigrant parents’ access to services and contribute to disparate outcomes for autistic children. While matching parents with service providers who speak the same language is ideal, the shortage in bilingual service providers may mean that immigrant parents experience long wait times for linguistically appropriate services. Preliminary evidence suggests that the use of video instruction, with some support from a provider who speaks the same language as the parent, can be used to overcome language barriers in parent training. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of video instruction within an asynchronous, telehealth parent training intervention for increasing autistic children’s daily living skills. An English speaking experimenter delivered the intervention to four Spanish speaking parents with autistic children. The intervention included video instructions and feedback, as well as messages translated using online translation software. Taking into account Hispanic cultural values for personalismo, families also received a weekly, 5-minute phone call from a Spanish-English bilingual experimenter. Experiment 1 used a multiple probe design across two daily living skills and Experiment 2 used a multiple probe design across three families to evaluate the effects of the intervention. Results indicated that fidelity of implementation increased for all four parents and some improvement in children’s daily living skills was observed. The inclusion of qualitative inquiry in the evaluation of social validity revealed certain procedures in Experiment 1 to be socially invalid, leading to modifications which increased the social validity of procedures in Experiment 2. Analysis of qualitative data from Experiment 2 revealed some dissatisfaction with child outcomes. Potential implications for practice and the value of including qualitative methodology in the evaluation of social validity in future research is discussed.

description: The evolution of a circumstellar disk from its gas-rich protoplanetary stage to its gas-poor debris stage is not understood well. It is apparent that disk clearing progresses from the inside-out on a short time scale and models of photoevaporation are frequently used to explain this. However, the photoevaporation rates predicted by models differ by up to two orders of magnitude, resulting in uncertain time scales for the final stages of disk clearing. Photoevaporation theories predict that the final stages of disk-clearing progress in objects that have ceased accretion but still posses considerable material at radii far from the star. Weak-line T Tauri stars (WTTS) with infrared excess are likely in this configuration. We aim to provide observational constraints on theories of disk-clearing by measuring the dust masses and CO content of a sample of young (1.8-26.3 Myr) WTTS. We used ALMA Band 6 to obtain continuum and 12 CO(2-1) line fluxes for a sample of 24 WTTS stars with known infrared excess. We detect continuum emission in only four of 24 WTTS, and no 12 CO(2-1) emission in any. For those WTTS where no continuum was detected, their ages and derived upper limits suggest they are debris disks, which makes them some of the youngest debris disks known. Of those where continuum was detected, three are possible photoevaporating disks, although the lack of CO detection suggests a severely reduced gas-to-dust ratio. The low fraction of continuum detections implies that, once accretion onto the star stops, the clearing of the majority of dust progresses very rapidly. Most WTTS with infrared excess are likely not in transition but are instead young debris disks, whose dust is either primordial and has survived disk-clearing, or is of second-generation origin.

description: We consider the problem of automating the verification of distributed control software relying on publish-subscribe middleware. In this scenario, the main challenge is that software correctness depends intrinsically on correct usage of middleware components, but structured models of such components might not be available for analysis, e.g., because they are too large and complex to be described precisely in a cost-effective way. To overcome this problem, we propose to identify abstract models of middleware as finite-state automata, and then to perform verification on the combined middleware and control software models. Both steps are carried out in a computer-assisted way using state-of-the-art techniques in automata-based identification and verification. Our main contribution is to show that the combination of identification and verification is feasible and useful when considering typical issues that arise in the implementation of distributed control software.

description: Sebbene il governo societario sia di primaria importanza per una gestione sana e prudente degli enti creditizi, l'organizzazione degli organi societari non è ampiamente regolamentata. La ripartizione dei poteri e dei doveri tra gli organi aziendali, compresa l'organizzazione dei controlli sull'organo di gestione, è solo parzialmente armonizzata e dipende ampiamente dal diritto societario nazionale. Le banche europee si basano su tre diversi modelli, che comportano un diverso posizionamento dell'organo di controllo: sopra, all'interno o accanto al Consiglio di amministrazione.

Le banche italiane hanno caratteristiche specifiche: (i) la trasposizione del CRD4 richiede esplicitamente alle banche di istituire un organismo di controllo; (ii) quest'ultimo ha un unico dovere di cooperazione con le autorità di vigilanza, nella misura in cui è tenuto a segnalare qualsiasi violazione rilevante che possa venire a conoscenza nell'esercizio delle sue funzioni; (iii) il modello societario italiano più diffuso colloca l'organo di controllo vicino al Consiglio di amministrazione, in un modo che è alquanto peculiare tra gli ordinamenti giuridici dell'UE. Si sostiene che un tale modello sia ancora una soluzione praticabile; tuttavia, l'efficacia del corpo di controllo potrebbe trarre vantaggio da una messa a punto della sua composizione.
