description: One loop contributions to the CP even-CP odd Higgs boson mixings arising from contributions due to exchange of a vectorlike multiplet are computed under the Higgs boson mass constraint. The vectorlike multiplet consists of a fourth generation of quarks and a mirror generation. This sector brings in new CP phases which can be large consistent with EDM constraints. In this work we compute the contributions from the exchange of quarks and mirror quarks $t_{4L}, t_{4R}, T_{L}, T_{R}$, and their scalar partners, the squarks and the mirror squarks. The effect of their contributions to the Higgs boson masses and mixings are computed and analyzed. The possibility of measuring the effects of mixing of CP even and CP odd Higgs in experiment is discussed. It is shown that the branching ratios of the Higgs bosons into fermion pairs are sensitive to new physics and specifically to CP phases.

description: We report the spin transport properties in a thin film of a naphthyl diamine derivative: N,N'-Bis(naphthalen-1-yl)-N,N'-bis(phenyl)-2,2'-dimethylbenzidine (alpha-NPD). In a palladium(Pd)/alpha-NPD/Ni80Fe20 tri-layer structure sample, a pure spin current is generated in the alpha-NPD layer with the spin pumping driven by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). The generated spin current is absorbed into the Pd layer, and converted into a charge current with the inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE) in Pd. An electromotive force due to the ISHE in the Pd layer is observed under the FMR of the Ni80Fe20 layer, which is clear evidence for the spin transport in an alpha-NPD film. The spin diffusion length in an alpha-NPD film is estimated to be about 62 nm at room temperature, which is long enough as a spin transport material for spintronic devices.

description: Background: The Double Burden of Malnutrition is a recent emerging nutritional problem of the coexistence of both under nutrition and over nutrition. Although several studies have been conducted on under 5 children malnutrition in Ethiopia, there is a research gap on double burden of malnutrition among adolescents. Objective: To assess the magnitude of double burden of malnutrition and its associated factors among in-school adolescents in Arba Minch town, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: School based, Cross-sectional study design was conducted among 634 high school students aged 10 to 19 years old in Arba Minch town from March, 2015 to April, 2015. Multi-stage sampling method was used. To select the study participant, the schools were first stratified by ownership as governmental and private. Two schools from each category was randomly selected and the number of sample size required for each school was allocated proportional to the number of students in each school and grade level, Finally 406 students from government and 228 from private were included. A structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic, food insecurity and physical activity data. Anthropometric measurements [weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference] were performed by using calibrated equipments and standardized techniques. Finally bivariate and multivariate analysis was done using multinomial regression model using SPSS, version21 and WHO Anthro-Plus software, version 1.0.4 for classifying nutritional status of adolescents. Results: The magnitude of underweight, normal and overweight and/or obesity were 19.7% (95%CI: 16.5%, 23.2%), 69.2% (95%CI: 66.2%, 72.2%) and 11.2% (95%CI: 8.7%, 13.7%), respectively. Respondents whose family size of five or less were 80% times less likely to be underweight [AOR=0.2; 95% CI= 0.12 to 0.4] compared to those whose family size of more than 5, whereas, the odds of being overweight and/or obesity was 79% times lower in participants who spent 9 hours and less in sitting than those who spent in sitting above 9 hours per day [AOR=0.21; 95% CI=0.1 to 0.4)]. Conclusion and recommendation: This study revealed the coexistence of double burden of malnutrition among in-school adolescents. Parents' education, family size and wealth index were some significantly associated factors. Intersectoral collaboration among health sectors and education sectors to intervene nutrition problem and nutrition related education is recommended

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The lattice gas automaton (LGA) is proposed for a closed economic market of agents with heterogeneous saving interests. There are two procedures in the standard LGA, i.e., "propagation" + "transaction". If the propagation step is removed and the transaction is conducted among all agents, the LGA reduces to a more simplified kinetic model. In addition, two dealing rules are imposed on the transaction phase. Under Rule I, the trading volume depends on the average saving propensities of an arbitrary pair of agents in trade. Under Rule II, the exchange is governed by a stochastic parameter between the saving propensities of two traders. Besides, two sampling methods are introduced for the random selection of two agents in the iterative process. Specifically, Sampling I is the sampling with replacement and is easier to program. Sampling II is the sampling without replacement and owns a higher computing efficiency. There are slight differences between the stationary wealth distributions simulated by using the two transaction rules and sampling approaches. In addition, the accuracy, robustness and efficiency of the econophysics models are validated by typical numerical tests. The reduced LGA without the propagation step owns a higher computational efficiency than the standard LGA. Moreover, the impact of saving propensities of agents in two groups on the wealth distributions is studied, and the influence of proportions of agents is investigated as well. To quantitatively measure the wealth inequality, the Gini coefficients, Kolkata indices, and deviation degrees of all agents and two groups are simulated and analyzed in detail. This work is helpful to further analyze and predict the dynamic process of wealth distribution in the realistic economic market.

description: This article explores special Lagrangian submanifolds in $\mathbb{CP}^3$, viewed as a nearly Kähler manifold, from two different perspectives. Intrinsically, using a moving frame set-up, and extrinsically, using $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ moment-type maps. We describe new homogeneous examples, from both perspectives, and classify totally geodesic special Lagrangian submanifolds. We show that every special Lagrangian in $\mathbb{CP}^3$, or the flag manifold $\mathbb{F}_{1,2}(\mathbb{C}^3)$ admitting a symmetry of an $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ subgroup of nearly Kähler automorphisms is automatically homogeneous.

description: The low-temperature variation of the London penetration depth $λ(T)$ in the candidate topological superconductor Nb$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$ (x = 0.25) is reported for several crystals. The measurements were carried out by means of a tunnel-diode oscillator (TDO) technique in both field orientations ($H_{rf} \parallel$ $c$ and $H_{rf} \parallel$ $ab$ planes). All samples exhibited power law behavior at low temperatures ($Δλ\sim T^2$) clearly indicating the presence of point nodes in the superconducting order parameter. The results presented here are consistent with a nematic odd-parity spin-triplet $E_u$ pairing state in Nb$_x$Bi$_2$Se$_3$.

description: Background: Youth health is dependent on several complex and interdependent factors such as socio-cultural influences, social support structures (such as families, peers and communities), access to health services, education and employment opportunities. Objectives: To assess current utilization of reproductive health service and role of peer influence among regular undergraduate students of Wachamo University, Hosanna, SNNPR (Southern Nations and Nationalities People Region), Ethiopia. Methods: An institution based quantitative cross sectional study supplemented by qualitative method was conducted in Wachamo University, Hosanna, Hadiya zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia March, 2017. Multistage sampling method was used to select study subjects. A total of 389 study participants were selected for quantitative part. The data from the quantitative part of the study was entered in Epi info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Whereas purposive sampling technique was used to select2interviewees for indepth interview which were health care providers and 40 regular undergraduate students in Hosanna campus of Wachamo University for 4 focus group discussions (FGD) . For the qualitative component, recorded data was transcribed and open code software was used to carry out content analysis, then results were triangulated with the quantitative findings. Results: From the total of 385 respondents, 227 (59%) utilized at least one of the reproductive health (RH)services in the past 6 months. sex(AOR=3, 95% CI: 1.15, 8.37), friend mentioned about importance of utilization of RH services(AOR=3.02, 95% CI: 1.19, 7.64), attitude of peer /friend on utilization of RH services(AO R=2.97, 95% CI: 1.11, 7.89), experience of discouragement not to use RH services(AOR=4.38, 95% CI: 1.44, 13.28) remained significantly and independently associated with current utilization of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services (CI 95%, cut off point for significance level P<0.05). The main problems identified from the qualitative finding hindering the current utilization indicated were lack of awareness, fear of being seen and feeling ashamed ,shortage of equipment and skilled provider as well as small service provision rooms of the facility. Conclusion: In general, it was found that current RH services utilization among youth in this study area was low. Interventions such as improving knowledge of the youth with regard to SRH issues, strengthening youth and RH centers in the campus with necessary supplies as well as training of the staffs and peer educators should be sought.

The Impact of Economic, Cultural and Social Capital on the Personal Development of Migrant Children in China – a Case Study
Creators: name: Kan, Li
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Since the late 1970s, China has witnessed enormous intra-national migration of farm workers from rural areas into cities in search of work. Among the huge populations of migrant workers working in cities, a large portion has children living with them. These children are called “migrant children.” China also has a dual household registration system (Hukou) which operates similarly to class, and privileges urban populations over rural populations. This system greatly hinders the education of migrant children, who retain their rural Hukou even when living in cities. This has the effect of limiting their personal development and trapping them in their social class, despite education being widely seen as the path to self-improvement. The thesis seeks to understand this problem. Drawing on the work of Bourdieu, it explores the way an impoverished family capital (economic, cultural and social capital) impacts on the education and personal development of migrant children to reproduce their social disadvantage rather than enable them to break out of it. Two public schools located in Xiamen city, Fujian Province, China, were used for the intensive qualitative case study of ten migrant students underpinning the thesis. Narrative inquiry was the major method used for this study. The findings show that the reproduction of social class happens in both the school and family field. The capital most migrant children inherit from their parents simply stabilizes the class to which they already belong. This solidification of class is exacerbated through the school, most noticeably through the subtle prejudices of teachers and the assessment system. Unless migrant parents can empower themselves, or be empowered, with knowledge, skills and positive parenting styles, their children will be unable to jump out of this vicious circle of low social status, and efforts at policy improvement in education for migrant children will continue to fail.

description: We study the bounded from below (BFB) conditions on a class of three Higgs doublet models (3HDM) constrained by the symmetry groups U(1)xU(1), U(1)xZ2 and Z2xZ2. These constraints must be implemented on both the neutral (BFB-n) and charged (BFB-c) directions. The exact necessary and sufficient BFB conditions are unknown in the Z2xZ2 case. We develop a general strategy using lower bounds to find sufficient conditions for BFB-n and BFB-c and apply it to these symmetries. In addition, we investigate the concern that the use of safe sufficient conditions can ignore valid points which would yield distinct physical consequences. This is done by performing a full phenomenological simulation of the U(1)xU(1) and U(1)xZ2 models, where exact necessary and sufficient BFB conditions are possible. We look specifically at the points allowed by exact solutions but precluded by safe lower bounds. We found no evidence of remarkable new effects, partly reassuring the use of the lower bounds we propose here, for those potentials where no exact necessary and sufficient BFB conditions are known.

description: We present new Jansky Very Large Array observations of five pre-Swift gamma-ray bursts for which an ultraluminous (SFR > 100 M_sun/yr) dusty host galaxy had previously been inferred from radio or submillimetre observations taken within a few years after the burst. In four of the five cases we no longer detect any source at the host location to limits much fainter than the original observations, ruling out the existence of an ultraluminous galaxy hosting any of these GRBs. We continue to detect a source at the position of GRB 980703, but it is much fainter than it was a decade ago and the inferred radio star-formation rate (~80 M_sun) is relatively modest. The radio flattening at 200-1000 days observed in the light curve of this GRB may have been caused by a decelerating counterjet oriented 180 degrees away from the viewer, although an unjetted wind model can also explain the data. Our results eliminate all well-established pre-Swift ULIRG hosts, and all cases for which an unobscured GRB was found in a galaxy dominated by heavily-obscured star-formation. When GRBs do occur in ULIRGs the afterglow is almost always observed to be heavily obscured, consistent with the large dust opacities and high dust covering fractions characteristic of these systems.

description: We analyze the application of the history state formalism to quantum walks. The formalism allows one to describe the whole walk through a pure quantum history state, which can be derived from a timeless eigenvalue equation. It naturally leads to the notion of system-time entanglement of the walk, which can be considered as a measure of the number of orthogonal states visited in the walk. We then focus on one-dimensional discrete quantum walks, where it is shown that such entanglement is independent of the initial spin orientation for real Hadamard-type coin operators and real initial states (in the standard basis) with definite site parity. Moreover, in the case of an initially localized particle it can be identified with the entanglement of the unitary global operator that generates the whole history state, which is related to its entangling power and can be analytically evaluated. Besides, it is shown that the evolution of the spin subsystem can also be described through a spin history state with an extended clock. A connection between its average entanglement (over all initial states) and that of the operator generating this state is also derived. A quantum circuit for generating the quantum walk history state is provided as well.

The association of intimate partner violence during pregnancy with preterm birth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Alamene, Genet Melak
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Background: Preterm birth is a significant and growing public health problem leading to increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. Intimate partner violence during pregnancy is one of the factors that affect not only women's health but also the health of the newborn. However, the association between intimate partner violence during pregnancy and preterm birth was not adequately studied in Ethiopia. Objective: To assess the association between intimate partner violence during pregnancy and preterm birth in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based age-matched case-control study was conducted among 420 women [140 cases (women who had preterm births) and 280 controls (women who had term births)] in six public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data was collected using a structured, intervieweradministered questionnaire. A woman who reported the experience of at least one act of violent act, either physical or sexual or emotional or controlling behaviours by an intimate partner during the index pregnancy period was considered exposed to intimate partner violence during pregnancy. Descriptive statistics were computed to describe the characteristics of study participants. Additionally, the association between intimate partner violence during pregnancy and preterm birth was analyzed using multivariable conditional logistics regression model. Statistical significance was declared at P<0.05. The analysis was performed using Stata 14.0. Results: The odds of preterm birth was four times higher among women who experienced physical violence (AOR: 3.98, 95% CI: 1.03, 15.32), three times higher among women who experienced emotional violence (AOR: 3.64, 95% CI: 1.01, 13.06) and four times higher among women who reported controlling behaviors of their husbands/partners (AOR: 4.32, 95% CI: 1.10, 16.89) during their pregnancy. Conclusion and recommendation: The study identified that women who experienced physical and emotional violence and whose husbands/partners demonstrated controlling behavior during pregnancy have a higher risk of preterm birth. To reduce the risk of preterm birth, prevention of physical and emotional violence during pregnancy and improving women's autonomy should be integrated into perinatal care interventions.

description: With the advent of spatially resolved fluorescence imaging in quantum gas microscopes, it is now possible to directly image glassy phases and probe the local effects of disorder in a highly controllable setup. Here we present numerical calculations using a spatially-resolved local mean-field theory, show that it captures the essential physics of the disordered system and use it to simulate the density distributions seen in single-shot fluorescence microscopy. From these simulated images we extract local properties of the phases which are measurable by a quantum gas microscope and show that unambiguous detection of the Bose glass is possible. In particular, we show that experimental determination of the Edwards-Anderson order parameter is possible in a strongly correlated quantum system using existing experiments. We also suggest modifications to the experiments which will allow further properties of the Bose glass to be measured.

Title: Analysis of Industry demand in Dundee Scotland: How to achieve 2045 Natational Net Zero target as a city.
Creators: name: Rohan, Fernando Wattala
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: MAED, Net Zero, Dundee

description: Abstract: The following report presents the results of a simulation conducted using the (MAED) model. The aim of this study was to explore how Scotland's Net Zero target can be aligned with various scenarios for the years 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, and 2045. By analysing the simulation outcomes, this report highlights the key targets derived from the case study. Reduction of Fossil Fuel Demand in the Construction and Manufacturing Sectors: One of the primary objectives of the simulation was to reduce fossil fuel demand in Scotland's Construction and Manufacturing sectors. The MAED model provides insights into achieving this target by exploring alternative energy sources and technologies. Decrease in Fossil Fuel and Traditional Oil Penetration Share: In addition to reducing overall fossil fuel demand, the simulation also focused on decreasing the penetration share of fossil fuels and traditional oil within the Construction and Manufacturing sectors. By identifying alternatives and implementing efficient energy practices, Scotland can significantly reduce its reliance on these non-renewable resources. Increase in Modern Biomass, Solar Thermal, and Electricity Share: To align with the Net Zero target, the simulation results emphasize the need to increase the share of modern biomass, solar thermal, and electricity in the Construction and Manufacturing sectors. These renewable energy sources offer environmentally friendly alternatives that can help Scotland transition towards a low-carbon future. Utilization of Geothermal as Backup for Winter-Time Solar Thermal Demand: To ensure a continuous supply of energy, especially during winter when solar thermal efficiency may decrease, the simulation suggests using geothermal energy as a backup system. By incorporating geothermal technologies, Scotland can mitigate any potential shortfalls in solar thermal supply and maintain a reliable and sustainable energy infrastructure. Based on the MAED simulation results, it is evident that Scotland's Net Zero target can be aligned with the specified scenarios for the years 2025-2045. By reducing fossil fuel demand, decreasing the penetration share of traditional oil and fossil fuels, increasing the use of modern biomass, solar thermal, and electricity, and utilizing geothermal as a backup, Scotland can make significant progress towards achieving its Net Zero goals. These findings provide valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and energy planners as they work towards a sustainable and carbon-neutral future for Scotland.

description: We study the large-$N$ scaling behavior of the $θ$ dependence of the ground-state energy density $E(θ)$ of four-dimensional (4D) $SU(N)$ gauge theories and two-dimensional (2D) $CP^{N-1}$ models, where $θ$ is the parameter associated with the Lagrangian topological term. We consider its $θ$ expansion around $θ=0$, $E(θ)-E(0) = {1\over 2}χ\,θ^2 ( 1 + b_2 θ^2 + b_4θ^4 +\cdots)$ where $χ$ is the topological susceptibility and $b_{2n}$ are dimensionless coefficients. We focus on the first few coefficients $b_{2n}$, which parametrize the deviation from a simple Gaussian distribution of the topological charge at $θ=0$. We present a numerical analysis of Monte Carlo simulations of 4D $SU(N)$ lattice gauge theories for $N=3,\,4,\,6$ in the presence of an imaginary $θ$ term. The results provide a robust evidence of the large-$N$ behavior predicted by standard large-$N$ scaling arguments, i.e. $b_{2n}= O(N^{-2n})$. In particular, we obtain $b_2=\bar{b}_2/N^2 + O(1/N^4)$ with $\bar{b}_2=-0.23(3)$. We also show that the large-$N$ scaling scenario applies to 2D $CP^{N-1}$ models as well, by an analytic computation of the leading large-$N$ dependence.

description: The purported spiral host galaxy of GRB 020819B at z=0.41 has been seminal in establishing our view of the diversity of long-duration gamma-ray burst environments: optical spectroscopy of this host provided evidence that GRBs can form even at high metallicities, while millimetric observations suggested that GRBs may preferentially form in regions with minimal molecular gas. We report new observations from VLT (MUSE and X-shooter) which demonstrate that the purported host is an unrelated foreground galaxy. The probable radio afterglow is coincident with a compact, highly star-forming, dusty galaxy at z=1.9621. The revised redshift naturally explains the apparent nondetection of CO(3-2) line emission at the afterglow site from ALMA. There is no evidence that molecular gas properties in GRB host galaxies are unusual, and limited evidence that GRBs can form readily at super-Solar metallicity.

description: Background: Diarrheal disease remains one of the principal causes of morbidity and mortality in children of developing countries. One major reason for the poor outcomes of diarrheal episodes is the mother's treatment of diarrheal disease at her home and the kind of modern treatment she seeks. Objectives: To assess mothers' modern health care seeking behavior and its determinants for childhood diarrheal illnesses in Hetosa District,Arsi Zone, Oromia region. Methods: a comparative cross sectional study was conducted from December 2010-January 2011 in Hetosa Woreda, Arsi zone, Oromia region. The study participants were 434 mothers/caretakers who had at least one under five years old child with diarrhea in the previous four weeks and selected from eight kebeles and one town. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and entered through Epi enfo version 3.5.1 and analyzed by SPSS version 16. A distractive statistics, bivarate and multivariate analysis was done using cross tabulation and binary logistic regressions. Results: the study revealed that residence, excretal disposal method, income, distance of health care facilities and educational status of the mothers or care takers were significantly associated with mother's modern treatment seeking behavior. Mothers who live in urban were four and half times sought modern treatment than rural dwellers, [OR(95%CI)=4.49(2.07, 9.7)].Mothers of those grade 9-12 were nine times more likely to seek modern treatment than illiterate one[OR(95%CI)=8.88(1.15, 68.6)]. Those households used latrine and income greater than 500 per month were 4.6 and 3.3 times more likely to seek modern treatment than who use open field and earn less than 500 Ethiopian birr respectively,[OR(95%CI)=4.62(1.84,11.6)]and [OR(95%CI)=3.31(1.45, 7.54)]. Concerning the composition of fluid given, only 38.8% of the mothers used oral rehydration therapy (ORT) (ORS and RHF) while the rest of them gave soup (36.2%) and others (25.2%) such as plain water, tea, raw milk and traditional remedies which are generally not as such helpful for the diarrheal child. Conclusion: Majority of study mothers perceived that contaminated food is the major cause of childhood diarrhea. But there were mothers perception on childhood diarrhea those not treated by modern treatment. Regarding Mothers seeking behavior of modern treatment mothers who live in urban was more likely seek modern treatment than rural dwellers.

description: Standard neutral population genetics theory with a strictly fixed population size has important limitations. An alternative model that allows independently fluctuating population sizes and reproduces the standard neutral evolution is reviewed. We then study a situation such that the competing species are neutral at the equilibrium population size but population size fluctuations nevertheless favor fixation of one species over the other. In this case, a separation of timescales emerges naturally and allows adiabatic elimination of a fast population size variable to deduce the fluctuations-induced selection dynamics near the equilibrium population size. The results highlight the incompleteness of the standard population genetics with a strictly fixed population size.

description: Time-domain astronomy is entering a new era as wide-field surveys with higher cadences allow for more discoveries than ever before. The field has seen an increased use of machine learning and deep learning for automated classification of transients into established taxonomies. Training such classifiers requires a large enough and representative training set, which is not guaranteed for new future surveys such as the Vera Rubin Observatory, especially at the beginning of operations. We present the use of Gaussian processes to create a uniform representation of supernova light curves from multiple surveys, obtained through the Open Supernova Catalog for supervised classification with convolutional neural networks. We also investigate the use of transfer learning to classify light curves from the Photometric LSST Astronomical Time Series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC) dataset. Using convolutional neural networks to classify the Gaussian process generated representation of supernova light curves from multiple surveys, we achieve an AUC score of 0.859 for classification into Type Ia, Ibc, and II. We find that transfer learning improves the classification accuracy for the most under-represented classes by up to 18% when classifying PLAsTiCC light curves, and is able to achieve an AUC score of 0.945 when including photometric redshifts for classification into six classes (Ia, Iax, Ia-91bg, Ibc, II, SLSN-I). We also investigate the usefulness of transfer learning when there is a limited labelled training set to see how this approach can be used for training classifiers in future surveys at the beginning of operations.

description: We study the effect of two Modified Gravity (MG) theories, $f(R)$ and nDGP, on three probes of large-scale structure, the real space power spectrum estimator $Q_0$, bispectrum and voids, and validate fast approximate COLA simulations against full $N$-body simulations for the prediction of these probes. We find that using the first three even multipoles of the redshift space power spectrum to estimate $Q_0$ is enough to reproduce the MG boost factors of the real space power spectrum for both halo and galaxy catalogues. By analysing the bispectrum and reduced bispectrum of Dark Matter (DM), we show that the strong MG signal present in the DM bispectrum is mainly due to the enhanced power spectrum. We warn about adopting screening approximations in simulations as this neglects non-linear contributions that can source a significant component of the MG bispectrum signal at the DM level, but we argue that this is not a problem for the bispectrum of galaxies in redshift space where the signal is dominated by the non-linear galaxy bias. Finally, we perform void-finding on our galaxy mock catalogues by the ZOBOV watershed algorithm. To apply a linear model for Redshift-Space Distortion (RSD) in the void-galaxy cross-correlation function, we first examine the effects of MG on the void profiles entering into the RSD model. We find relevant MG signals in the integrated-density, velocity dispersion and radial velocity profiles in the nDGP theory. Fitting the RSD model for the linear growth rate, we recover the linear theory prediction in an nDGP model, which is larger than the $Λ$CDM prediction at the $3 σ$ level. In $f(R)$ theory we cannot naively compare the results of the fit with the linear theory prediction as this is scale-dependent, but we obtain results that are consistent with the $Λ$CDM prediction.
