description: Die UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention gehört zu den jüngsten Instrumenten im Werkzeugkasten des Internationalen Menschenrechtsschutzes. Besonders ist sie nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil sie allgemein so verstanden wird, dass sie (primär) keine neuen Rechte einführt, sondern vor allen Dingen den Umfang bestehender Menschenrechte für Menschen mit Behinderungen klarstellt. Erik Tuchtfeld hat mit Lys Kulamadayil zum einen über die UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention gesprochen, zum anderen aber auch einen kritischen Blick nach innen – auf diskriminierende Strukturen in der Rechtswissenschaft selbst – geworfen.

title: can stable isotopes reveal Australia's past and future ecology?

description: The stable isotopic analysis of ancient herbivore remains is emerging as an important tool for resolving poorly known aspects of Australia's ecological history, but for the approach to be successful, an understanding of the isotopic variation in modern herbivores, such as kangaroos, is required. I examined sources of variation in the isotopic composition of grass foliage (δ13C, δ15N) and kangaroo bone collagen (δ13C, δ15N) and tooth enamel (δ13C, δ18O) collected throughout Australia. The δ13C of foliage of both C3 and C4 grasses was related to water availability; in C3 grasses, the relationship was negative and in C4 grasses the relationship was positive. Despite this variation, the δ13C of kangaroo bone collagen and tooth enamel was very closely related to the relative abundance of C4 versus C3 grasses (C4 relative abundance), with ecological factors such as vegetation woodiness and the presence of a forest canopy having little discernible effect. Water availability explained a considerable proportion of the variation in the δ15N of both grass foliage and kangaroo bone collagen, and the slopes of these negative relationships were very similar, with a near-constant δ15N offset between grass foliage and bone collagen. This suggests that dietary δ15N is the main cause of the relationship between kangaroo bone collagen δ15N and water availability, with metabolic factors having little discernible effect. This finding suggests that the δ15N of kangaroos, and possibly other herbivores, closely reflects ecosystem δ15N. Consistent with previous studies, relative humidity explained a large proportion of the variation in enamel δ18O. We also found a previously unreported interaction between mean annual temperature and relative humidity, with the negative relationship between δ18O and relative humidity much steeper at low temperatures. While carbon isotopic analysis of kangaroo remains appears to be a powerful tool for reconstructing past C4 relative abundance, nitrogen and oxygen isotopic analysis appear to be less useful, primarily due to the complexity of the sources of δ15N and δ18O variation, and our poor mechanistic understanding of them.

description: Accelerometry-derived exercise dose (intensity × duration) was assessed throughout a competitive basketball season. Nine elite basketballers wore accelerometers during a Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (Yo-Yo-IR1) and during three two-week blocks of training that represented phases of the season defined as easy, medium, and hard based on difficulty of match schedule. Exercise dose was determined using accumulated impulse (accelerometry-derived average net force × duration). Relative exercise intensity was quantified using linear relationships between average net force and oxygen consumption during the Yo-Yo-IR1. Time spent in different intensity zones was computed. Influences of match schedule difficulty and playing position were evaluated. Exercise dose reduced for recovery and pre-match tapering sessions during the medium match schedule. Exercise dose did not vary during the hard match schedule. Exercise dose was not different between playing positions. The majority of activity during training was spent performing sedentary behaviour or very light intensity activity (64.3 ± 6.1%). Front-court players performed a greater proportion of very light intensity activity (mean difference: 6.8 ± 2.8%), whereas back-court players performed more supramaximal intensity activity (mean difference: 4.5 ± 1.0%). No positional differences existed in the proportion of time in all other intensity zones. Objective evaluation of exercise dose might allow coaches to better prescribe and monitor the demands of basketball training.
BioExcel Webinar #9 - Defining training requirements for Biomolecular researchers with high computational needs

Subjects: webinar

description: Life Science research has become increasingly digital and has a direct influence on our daily life in areas such as health and medical applications, drug discovery, agriculture and food industry. It is one of the largest and fastest growing communities in need of high-end computing, leading to an increasing number of life science researchers who are not computing experts but who need to use complicated computationally intensive biomolecular modelling tools.

 The BioExcel Training Programme is aimed at supporting these academic and industrial researchers in the use of high-performance computing (HPC) and high-throughput computing (HTC). To make sure that the biomedical research communities can fully profit from the training offered through the Centre of Excellence we have determined the training needs for three user groups (Entry Level Users, Specialist Users and System Administrators & Applications Experts) by drafting a competency profile. The competencies have been determined with the aid of the community and sent out for wider consultation.

 To enrich the competency profile we have, for each competence, defined what an individual will need to know and what skills they need to have to exhibit competence in a specific area, as well as list what behaviours are suited and unsuited to an individual with that particular competency – so that individuals can assess their own competence in each area and select appropriate training.

 The competencies have been mapped against existing training (online as well as face-to-face courses) to reveal where gaps in training resources are present. The BioExcel Training Programme will focus on developing new training courses and material to fill the gaps in training resources. This webinar will present the completed BioExcel Competency profile, the gap analysis and the plans for the BioExcel Training Programme. In additional we want to make everyone aware and if relevant to you, invite you to join the newly formed BioExcel Training Interest Group.

description: The thesis investigates the application of concepts and techniques of data quality in taxonomic databases to enhance the quality of information services and systems in taxonomy. Taxonomic data are arranged and introduced in Taxonomic Data Domains in order to establish a standard and a working framework to support the proposed Taxonomic Data Quality Dimensions, as a specialised application of conventional Data Quality Dimensions in the Taxonomic Data Quality Domains. The thesis presents a discussion about improving data quality in taxonomic databases, considering conventional Data Cleansing techniques and applying generic data content error patterns to taxonomic data. Techniques of taxonomic error detection are explored, with special attention to scientific name spelling errors. The spelling error problem is scrutinized through spelling error detecting techniques and algorithms. Spelling error detection algorithms are described and analysed. In order to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of different spelling error detection algorithms, a suite of experimental spelling error detection tools was developed and a set of experiments was performed, using a sample of five different taxonomic databases. The results of the experiments are analysed from the algorithm and from the database point of view. Database quality assessment procedures and metrics are discussed in the context of taxonomic databases and the previously introduced concepts of Taxonomic Data Domains and Taxonomic Data Quality Dimensions. Four questions related to Taxonomic Database Quality are discussed, followed by conclusions and recommendations involving information system design and implementation and the processes involved in taxonomic data management and information flow.

description: A connection is established between transonic sound waves propagating along a de Laval nozzle and quasinormal modes emitted from hairy black holes obtained with the gravitational decoupling method applied to the Reissner-Nordström geometry. Aerodynamical features provide an analogue setup to experimentally test fluid flow perturbations in a de Laval nozzle producing quasinormal modes. In particular, nozzle shape, pressure, Mach number, temperature, density, and thrust coefficient profiles are determined as functions of the black hole parameters for several multipole numbers. The black hole quasinormal mode frequencies are also investigated for different overtones, evaluating the quality factor of the nozzle.

description: Participation in HIV cure-related clinical trials that involve antiretroviral treatment (ART) interruption may pose substantial individual risks for people living with HIV (PLHIV) without any therapeutic benefit. As such, it is important that the views of PLHIV are considered in the design of HIV cure research trials. Examining the lived experience of PLHIV provides unique and valuable perspectives on the risks and benefits of HIV cure research. In this study, we interviewed 20 PLHIV in Australia about their knowledge and attitudes toward clinical HIV cure research and explored their views regarding participation in HIV cure clinical trials, including those that involve ART interruption. Data were analysed thematically, using both inductive and deductive coding techniques, to identity themes related to perceptions of HIV cure research and PLHIV’s assessment of the possible risks and benefits of trial participation. Study findings revealed interviewees were willing to consider participation in HIV cure research for social reasons, most notably the opportunity to help others. Concerns raised about ART interruption related to the social and emotional impact of viral rebound, including fear of onward HIV transmission and anxiety about losing control. These findings reveal the ways in which PLHIV perspectives deepen our understanding of HIV cure research, moving beyond a purely clinical assessment of risks and benefits in order to consider the social context.

description: Tobacco industry marketing strategies that affect perception and use of waterpipe in Ukraine
Hanna Diatlenko
BACKGROUND: According to Global Adult Tobacco Survey conducted in Ukraine in 2010, only 31% of adults pointed to health hazards of waterpipe smoking while corresponding levels for cigarettes were much higher. Higher prevalence of use was found in young urban adults with university education. Students lifestyle surveys revealed that up to 70% of students had smoked waterpipe at least once in their lifetime. Thus we aimed to clarify possible mechanisms in charge of widespread use and favorable attitude of young adults towards waterpipe smoking by means of a qualitative study.
METHODS: Semistructured interviews were conducted with 27 university students in Kiev city. Respondents were 11 males and 16 females aged 17-26 years. Convenience sampling was applied. Questions encompassed personal experience of, attitudes towards, and perception of waterpipe smoking.
RESULTS: Waterpipe is perceived by students as a safer alternative of cigarettes. Less irritating smoke is taken as a sign of no adverse health impact. Students are attracted by sweet smell and taste of tobacco smoke produced by waterpipe. Those who had observed the waterpipe tobacco packages reported that they bear pictures of fruit and create perception of a healthy product inside. On some packages, health warnings and the information regarding content are either absent or written in a language customers cannot read. Tobacco and accessories were reported to have been displayed in most attractive places in supermarkets.
CONCLUSIONS: The study reveals the necessity to strengthen the awareness campaign depicting the devastating consequences of waterpipe use. To close the existing loopholes, the Ukrainian legislation needs to require health warnings on waterpipe packages which differ from those on cigarette packs, ban of tobacco products display at the points of sales, and ban of fruity additives to tobacco.

description: We demonstrate complete control over dynamics of a single superconducting vortex in a nanostructure which we coin the Single Vortex Box (SVB). Our device allows us to trap the vortex in a field-cooled aluminum nanosquare and expel it on demand with a nanosecond pulse of electrical current. We read-out the vortex state of the box by testing the switching current of the adjacent Dayem nanobridge. Using the time-resolving nanothermometry we measure 4$\cdot$10$^{-19}\,$J as the amount of the dissipated heat (which is the energy of a single red photon) in the elementary process of the vortex expulsion, and monitor the following thermal relaxation of the device. The measured heat is equal to the energy required to annihilate all Cooper pairs on the way of the moving vortex. Our design and measuring protocol are convenient for studying the stochastic mechanism of the vortex escape from current-driven superconducting nanowires, which has its roots either in thermal or quantum fluctuations, similar to ones widely studied in Josephson junctions or magnetic nanoclusters and molecules. Our experiment enlightens the thermodynamics of the absorption process in the superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, in which vortices are perceived to be essential for a formation of a detectable hot spot. The demonstrated opportunity to manipulate a single superconducting vortex reliably in a confined geometry comprises in fact a proof-of-concept of a nanoscale non-volatile memory cell with sub-nanosecond write and read operations, which offers compatibility with quantum processors based either on superconducting qubits or rapid single flux quantum circuits.

description: We discuss the development and validation of the long version of a conceptual multiple-choice survey instrument called the Survey of Thermodynamic Processes and First and Second Laws-Long (STPFaSL-Long) suitable for introductory physics courses. This version of the survey instrument is a longer version of the original shorter version developed and validated earlier. The 19 contexts including the exact wording of all of the problem situations posed in the two versions of the survey instrument are identical and the difference between the long and short versions of the instrument is only in the multiple-choice options. In particular, in the longer version of the survey instrument, there are no alternative conceptions explicitly embedded in the four multiple-choice options students choose from and the questions asked in a given context in one item of the shorter survey instrument were split into several items focusing, e.g., on different thermodynamic variables. After the development and validation of the longer version of the survey instrument, the final version was administered in 12 different in-person classes (four different institutions) in which students answered the questions in-class on paper scantron forms with the instructor as the proctor and 12 different in-person classes (five different institutions) in which students answered the questions online on Qualtrics within a two-hour period. This longer version of the survey instrument was administered to introductory physics students in various traditionally taught calculus-based and algebra-based classes before and after traditional lecture-based instruction in relevant concepts. It was also administered to upper-level undergraduates majoring in physics and Ph.D. students taught traditionally for bench marking purposes.

description: Electronic properties of crystals can be manipulated using spatially periodic modulations. Long-wavelength, incommensurate modulations are of particular interest, exemplified recently by moiré patterned van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. Bulk vdW superlattices hosting interfaces between clean 2D layers represent scalable bulk analogs of vdW heterostructures and present a complementary venue to explore incommensurately modulated 2D states. Here we report the bulk vdW superlattice SrTa$_2$S$_5$ realizing an incommensurate 1D modulation of 2D transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) $H$-TaS$_2$ layers. High-quality electronic transport in the $H$-TaS$_2$ layers, evidenced by quantum oscillations, is made anisotropic by the modulation and shows commensurability oscillations akin to lithographically modulated 2D systems. We also find unconventional, clean-limit superconductivity (SC) in SrTa$_2$S$_5$ with a pronounced suppression of interlayer coherence relative to intralayer coherence. Such a hierarchy can arise from pair-density wave (PDW) SC with mismatched spatial arrangement in adjacent superconducting layers. Examining the in-plane magnetic field $H_{ab}$ dependence of interlayer critical current density $J_c$, we find anisotropy with respect to $H_{ab}$ orientation: $J_c$ is maximized (minimized) when $H_{ab}$ is perpendicular (parallel) to the stripes, consistent with 1D PDW SC. From diffraction we find the structural modulation is shifted between adjacent $H$-TaS$_2$ layers, suggesting mismatched 1D PDW is seeded by the striped structure. With a high-mobility Fermi liquid in a coherently modulated structure, SrTa$_2$S$_5$ is a promising host for novel phenomena anticipated in clean, striped metals and superconductors. More broadly, SrTa$_2$S$_5$ establishes bulk vdW superlattices as macroscopic platforms to address long-standing predictions for modulated electronic phases.

description: The unique optical properties of graphene, with broadband absorption and ultrafast response, make it a critical component of optoelectronic and spintronic devices. Using time-resolved momentum microscopy with high data rate and high dynamic range, we report momentum-space measurements of electrons promoted to the graphene conduction band with visible light, and their subsequent relaxation. We observe a pronounced non-thermal distribution of nascent photoexcited electrons with lattice pseudospin polarization in remarkable agreement with results of simple tight-binding theory. By varying the excitation fluence, we vary the relative importance of electron-electron vs. electron-phonon scattering in the relaxation of the initial distribution. Increasing the excitation fluence results in increased noncollinear electron-electron scattering and reduced pseudospin polarization, although up-scattered electrons retain a degree of polarization. These detailed momentum-resolved electron dynamics in graphene demonstrate the capabilities of high-performance time-resolved momentum microscopy in the study of 2D materials and can inform the design of graphene devices.

Se llevaron a cabo más de 30 horas de talleres con 227 educadores/as del Estado de México, que mostraron tener unos niveles intermedios de agotamiento emocional durante el confinamiento y post-confinamiento por la pandemia mundial de la COVID-19. También abordó los principales estresores de los/as educadores/as, contextualizó el impacto de la emergencia sanitaria en la profesión y examinó actitudes hacia la búsqueda de apoyo emocional. La arteterapia es una forma de terapia psicológica que usa la creación artística como un modo de expresión, autoconocimiento, y promueve el bienestar psicológico. No requiere destrezas creativas, ya que el objetivo es enfocarse en el proceso y gestionar emociones que muchas veces no pueden ser expresadas verbalmente. El estrés laboral o burnout es un estado de agotamiento físico, emocional y mental que pueden llegar a experimentar las/os trabajadores, y que causa pérdidas de aproximadamente 322.000 millones de dólares a la economía global. Se caracteriza por la desmotivación, la disminución del rendimiento y la aparición de síntomas físicos y emocionales negativos. Los/as docentes son uno de los grupos profesionales más afectados por el burnout. En México, se estima que un 40% de los educadores/as experimentan agotamiento laboral y la emergencia sanitaria exacerbó la situación.

We show that the conformal instability problem in the Euclidean path integral is solved by suitable gauge choices at the perturbative level. The three examples of Einstein gravity, Stelle gravity and nonlocal quantum gravity are given.

description: With the increasing use of information and communications technology (ICT), researchers are able to use computer software tools to find, organise, manipulate, analyse, and share relevant information. However, there are hundreds of such tools to select from, for various research-related uses. I have collected over 700 tools that can help researchers do their work efficiently. It is assembled as an interactive Web-based mind map, titled Research Tools, which is updated periodically. Created using the MindMeister software platform, Research Tools provides a convenient interface with zoom in/out, screen drag, and other user-friendly features. Being a mind map, Research Tools consists of a hierarchical set of nodes. It has four main nodes: (1) Searching the literature, (2) Writing a paper, (3) Targeting suitable journals, and (4) Enhancing visibility and impact, and six auxiliary nodes. In the mind map, each parent node has several child nodes associated with it, which can be accessed by clicking on the plus (+) sign. Several free tools can be found in the child nodes. Some paid tools are also included. The four main nodes are described below, listing some tools as examples. In the mind map, a green tick sign indicates my preference for some tools. Users can access the tools by clicking on the arrow sign that appears next to the tool title.

description: Background: The internet is an increasingly popular tool in family and child research that is argued to pose new ethical challenges, yet few studies have systematically assessed the ethical issues of engaging parents and children in research online. This scoping review aims to identify and integrate evidence on the ethical issues reported when recruiting, retaining and tracing families and children in research online, and to identify ethical guidelines for internet research. Methods: Academic literature was searched using electronic academic databases (Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, ERIC, CINAHL and Informit) and handsearching reference lists for articles published in English between January 2006 and February 2016. Grey literature was searched using Google to identify relevant ethical guidelines. Results: Sixty-five academic articles were included after screening 3,537 titles and abstracts and 205 full-text articles. Most articles reported using the internet to recruit participants (88%) with few reporting online retention (12%) or tracing (10%). Forty percent commented on ethical issues; the majority did not discuss ethics beyond general consent or approval procedures. Some ethical concerns were specific to engaging minors online, including parental consent, age verification and children's vulnerability. Other concerns applied when engaging any research participant online, including privacy and confidentiality, informed consent and disparities in internet access. Five professional guidelines and 10 university guidelines on internet research ethics were identified. Few academic articles (5%) reported using these guidelines. Conclusions: Engaging families and children in research online introduces unique challenges requiring careful consideration. While researchers regarded themselves as responsible for ensuring research is conducted ethically, lack of use of available guidelines and limited academic literature suggests internet research is occurring without suitable guidance. We recommend broad dissemination of ethical guidelines and encourage researchers to report the methodological and ethical issues of using the internet to engage families and children in research.

description: We consider the problem of approximating the free energy density of a translation-invariant, one-dimensional quantum spin system with finite range. While the complexity of this problem is nontrivial due to its close connection to problems with known hardness results, a classical subpolynomial-time algorithm has recently been proposed [Fawzi et al., 2022]. Combining several algorithmic techniques previously used for related problems, we propose an algorithm outperforming this result asymptotically and give rigorous bounds on its runtime. Our main techniques are the use of Araki expansionals, known from results on the nonexistence of phase transitions, and a matrix product operator construction. We also review a related approach using the Quantum Belief Propagation [Kuwahara et al., 2018], which in combination with our findings yields an equivalent result.

While there is a growing body of knowledge exploring fairness problems and solutions in the human and social factors of software engineering, most focus has been on specific problems. This study provides fairness discussions by software practitioners on Stack Exchange sites. We present an exploratory study presenting the fairness experience of software practitioners and fairness expectations in software teams. We also want to identify the fairness aspects software practitioners talk about the most. For example, do they care more about fairness in income or how they are treated in the workplace?
 Our investigation of fairness discussions on eight Stack Exchange sites resulted in a list of 136 posts (28 questions and 108 answers) manually curated from 4,178 candidate posts. The study reveals that the majority of fairness discussions (24 posts) revolve around the topic of income suggesting that many software practitioners are highly interested in matters related to their pay and how it is fairly distributed. Further, we noted that while not discussed as often, discussions on fairness in recruitment tend to receive the highest number of views and scores. Interestingly, the study shows that unfairness experiences extend beyond the protected attributes. In this study, only 25 out of 136 posts mention protected attributes, with gender mainly being discussed.

description: The group of moiré graphene superconductors keeps growing, and by now it contains twisted graphene multilayers and twisted double bilayers. We analyze the contribution of long range charge fluctuations in the superconductivity of twisted double graphene bilayers and helical trilayers, and compare the results to twisted bilayer graphene. We apply a diagrammatic approach which depends on a few, well known parameters. We find that the critical temperature and the order parameter differ significantly between twisted double bilayers and helical trilayers on one hand, and twisted bilayer graphene on the other. We show that this trend, consistent with experiments, can be associated to the role played by moiré Umklapp processes in the different systems.

description: As data from monitored structures become increasingly available, the demand grows for it to be used efficiently to add value to structural operation and management. One way in which this can be achieved is to use structural response measurements to assess the usefulness of models employed to describe deterioration processes acting on a structure, as well the mechanical behavior of the latter. This is what this work aims to achieve by first, framing Structural Health Monitoring as a Bayesian model updating problem, in which the quantities of inferential interest characterize the deterioration process and/or structural state. Then, using the posterior estimates of these quantities, a decision-theoretic definition is proposed to assess the structural and/or deterioration models based on (a) their ability to explain the data and (b) their performance on downstream decision support-based tasks. The proposed framework is demonstrated on strain response data obtained from a test specimen which was subjected to three-point bending while simultaneously exposed to accelerated corrosion leading to thickness loss. Results indicate that the level of \textit{a priori} domain knowledge on the deterioration form is critical.

description: L’enseignement supérieur marocain se développe rapidement. Il s’accroît considérablement et se transforme particulièrement depuis deux décennies. Le présent document examine ces évolutions à la lumière des statistiques locales. Elles couvrent de façon variable les différents secteurs de l’enseignement supérieur mais offrent globalement un panorama édifiant de ces transformations. Il permet de caractériser la massification en cours et de constater comment le pays répond aux enjeux de formation post-scolaire d’une population jeune aux effectifs croissants. Il scrute tour à tour puis en comparaison les différents éléments des secteurs publics et privés : répartition géographique, distribution par domaine, évolution temporelle. Il examine les complémentarités éventuelles de ces deux secteurs et l’enjeu d’employabilité de leurs diplômés.

description: We use the Survey of Thermodynamic Processes and First and Second Laws-Long (STPFaSL-Long), a research-based survey instrument with 78 items at the level of introductory physics, to investigate introductory and advanced students' difficulties with internal energy, work, and heat transfer. We present analysis of data from 12 different introductory and advanced physics classes at four different higher education public institutions in the US in which the survey was administered in person to more than 1000 students. We find that not only introductory but also advanced physics students have many common difficulties with these introductory thermodynamic concepts after traditional lecture-based instruction in relevant concepts. We utilize a wide variety of problem types and contexts and our sample includes large numbers of introductory algebra-based, calculus-based, and advanced students. Some of our findings are consistent with prior research in this area, but others expand upon them and reveal previously unreported aspects of students' thinking. Findings related to common difficulties of students before and after traditional lecture-based instruction in college physics courses can help instructors of these courses plan instruction and curricula to improve student understanding. These findings can also be valuable for developing effective research-based curricula and pedagogies to address student difficulties and help students develop a functional understanding of these fundamental thermodynamic concepts.

description: Time-lapse seismic monitoring necessitates integrated workflows that combine seismic and reservoir modeling to enhance reservoir property estimation. We present a feasibility study of an end-to-end inversion framework that directly inverts for permeability from prestack time-lapse seismic data. To assess the method's robustness, we design experiments focusing on its sensitivity to initial models and potential errors in modeling. Our study leverages the Compass model to simulate CO2 storage in saline aquifers, which is derived from well and seismic data from the North Sea, a candidate site for geological carbon storage.
