description: The use of medicines specific for COVID-19 in pregnant women is infrequent, highly correlated with severity of COVID-19 disease and changing over time since the start of the pandemic. Since pregnant women have not been included in most clinical trials for COVID-19 medicines, there is an important gap in knowledge. In this context, regulators and other stakeholders need to be prepared for situations where questions arise regarding the impact of medicines used against COVID-19 during pregnancy, on maternal, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. This deliverable presents the protocol and statistical analysis plan of CONSIGN International. Two meta-analyses will be conducted including prospective and retrospective data collection with reliable data on the different classes of medicines and associated perinatal outcomes in a real-world clinical setting. The first meta-analaysis will combine population-based health care data sources (meta-analysis 1) and the second will combine case-based registries compiled by health care professionals (meta-analysis 2). The aim of the CONSIGN international meta-analysis is to describe the use of medicines to treat COVID-19 disease by trimester of pregnancy and the effects of medicines used to treat COVID-19 on maternal, pregnancy and neonatal outcomes and to pool as much data available around the world with similar protocols and settings.
On the feasibility of employing solar-like oscillators as detectors for the stochastic background of gravitational waves

description: We present a hydrodynamic model that describes excitation of linear stellar oscillations by a stochastic background of gravitational waves (SBGW) of astrophysical and cosmological origin. We find that this excitation mechanism is capable of generating solar g-mode amplitudes close to or comparable with values expected from excitation by turbulent convection, which is considered to be the main driving force for solar-like oscillations. A method is presented that places direct upper bounds on the SBGW in a frequency range, in which the SBGW is expected to contain rich astrophysical information. Employing estimates for solar g-mode amplitudes, the proposed method is demonstrated to have the potential to compete with sensitivities reached by gravitational wave experiments in other frequency ranges.

description: Recently, it was shown that a non-zero transverse angular momentum manifests itself in a polarization dependent intensity shift of the barycenter of a paraxial light beam [A. Aiello et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 100401 (2009)]. The underlying effect is phenomenologically similar to the spin Hall effect of light, but does not depend on the specific light-matter interaction and can be interpreted as a purely geometric effect. Thus, it was named the geometric spin Hall effect of light. Here, we experimentally investigate the appearance of this effect in tightly focused vector-beams. We use an experimental nano-probing technique in combination with a reconstruction algorithm to verify the relative shifts of the components of the electric energy density in the focal plane, which are linked to the intensity shift. By that, we experimentally demonstrate the geometric spin Hall effect of light in a focused light beam.

description: This Article discusses the usefulness of the concept of accountability, and of electoral accountability more precisely, for the analysis of the European Union (EU). Starting from the idea that the EU does not suffer so much from a democratic deficit but rather from a political one, it argues that much more attention should be given to the concrete mechanisms through which EU decision-makers are held accountable. Among the latter, elections to the European Parliament (EP) are of special interest as they provide - at least in theory - the most direct channel for institutional accountability as well as the necessary incentives for political actors to act responsively. However, the declining turnout in European elections and the lack of knowledge of the EU on the part of voters reveal flaws in accountability at the EU level. The latter are attributed to the internal working of the EP and to certain features of the electoral system for the election of its members.

description: The experimental research on the irradiation of the functional design materials by the Helium ions in the linear accelerator is conducted. The experimental measurements techniques and data on the irradiation of the functional design materials by the Helium ions with the energy up to 4 MeV, including the detailed scheme of experimental measurements setup, are presented. The new design of accelerating structure of the IH-type such as POS-4, using the method of alternate-phase focusing with the step-by-step change of the synchronous phase along the focusing periods in a linear accelerator, is developed with the aim to irradiate the functional design materials by the Helium ions. The new design of the injector of the charged Helium ions with the energy of 120 KeV at the output of an accelerating tube and the accelerating structure of the type of POS-4 for the one time charged Helium ions acceleration in the linear accelerator are researched and developed. The special chamber for the irradiation of functional design materials by the Helium ions is also created. In the process of experiment, the temperature of a sample, the magnitude of current of Helium ions beam and the irradiation dose of sample are measured precisely. The experimental measurement setup and techniques are fully tested and optimized in the course of the research on the electro-physical properties of irradiated samples and the thermal-desorption of Helium ions in a wide range of temperatures

Abstract

The Open Electron Microscopy Data Network (OpenEM) is a Swiss-wide collaboration to improve data management at electron microscopy (EM) facilities and make the dissemination of EM data open and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable). The collaboration is based around a central SciCat instance hosted at the Paul Scherrer Institute (discovery.psi.ch), which stores metadata from all facilities and provides data access and management to microscope users, facility managers, and the public. 

Electron microscopy has become an essential tool in structural biology and other fields, with modern microscopes producing above 10 TB per day. Managing these datasets is challenging for researchers and facilities producing the data. Making the data publicly accessible is also difficult due to limited integration of existing databases with the EM infrastructure, as well as a lack of repositories for all use cases.

The OpenEM project aims to improve this by providing a central repository for all EM data and metadata from EM facilities in Switzerland. Metadata schemas are under development as part of the Open Science Community for EM, in cooperation with other community-driven ontologies such as PDBx/mmCIF, the EM Glossary, NXem, and the cryoEM ontology. Data is stored on tape at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) or the ETHZ Long-Term Storage, from which it can be retrieved by collaborators and the public. 

Interoperability with other data repositories is a priority, particularly the EMDB and EMPIAR databases for macromolecular data. The OpenEM infrastructure aims to streamline the full data lifecycle for EM data, from data collection through publication and reuse.
title: The impacts of glacial runoff and pCO₂ on centennial-to millennial-scale climate variability during the last glacial cycle
Creators: name: Love, Ryan
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Freshwater is hypothesized to have a critical role in previous centennial-to millennial-scale climate variability(CMCV),e.g. Dansgaard Oeschger events, the Younger Dryas, and may play a central role in future climate change as ice sheet and glacier melt accelerates. Similarly, anthropogenic climate change demonstrates the need to understand the impact of carbon dioxide (pCO₂) on climate variability. The relationship between freshwater and rapid climate change in the paleoclimate records has been a subject of intense study, but past approaches have generally relied upon an approximation of freshwater entering the oceans via wide bands in the North Atlantic in `hosing' experiments. This design element of hosing experiments, which supports the relationship between freshwater and climate cooling, artificially amplifies the climate response by introducing freshwater directly over sites of deep water formation. As well, previous studies have yet to characterize the role of either pCO₂ or freshwater on CMCV under appropriate boundary conditions. This thesis explores the impact two likely controls of CMCV, freshwater and pCO₂ concentrations. I achieve this by first determining where coastally released freshwater is transported using an eddy permitting ocean model configured for the the Younger Dryas interval during the last deglaciation. It is found that by explicitly resolving features important for the transport of coastally released freshwater, such as mesoscale eddies, that hosing overestimates the amount of freshwater transported to sites of deepwater formation by 2-4x. Next, using these results I then derive a novel method of freshwater injection, the freshwater fingerprint, and examine the relative climate impact of different freshwater injection distributions. In comparing the fingerprint method against both conventional band hosing and regional injection methods I conclude that the fingerprint methodology allows for emulation of some features of the eddy permitting representation in a coarse resolution coupled climate model. Finally, I examine the impact that pCO₂ and freshwater has on a specific form of CMCV, Dansgaard-Oeschger events during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3), with boundary conditions consistent with the MIS3 interval. When examining characteristics of CMCV I find that both increasing freshwater and decreasing carbon dioxide levels lead to similar changes in interstadial & stadial durations.

description: One of the main problems the Union has to cope with is the difficulty in properly articulating the relationship between authority and democratic legitimacy, in particular the disconnection between the allocation of powers to the EU and to its Member States and the forms of democratic control over their exercise in the Union. Indeed, it seems that the more EU authority expands, the more the democratic legitimacy of the Union is in trouble. In the EU the source of authority is dislocated out of the traditional forms of democratic accountability, which have been shaped domestically by centuries of constitutional history. In addition to this, the "punctiform" nature of many EU decision-making processes, starting at one level of government - regional, national or supranational - and ending up being concluded at a different level, favours this feeling of disorientation amongst European citizens. The attitude of several national governments, which tend to blame the EU for their own failures, exacerbates this problem and leads to the perception of EU institutions as not only distant, but also detached from the needs of ordinary citizens.

description: I. No European sovereignty... - II. ... But a "Europeanised" (concept of) sovereignty.
description: "European sovereignty" seems at first sight to be a misnomer. The EU is not sovereign in the classical sense of the word. By contrast, it can be argued that the EU transforms national sovereignty, both in its internal and external dimension. This "Europeanisation" of Member State's sovereignty could be seen as an attempt to restore and expand the "rule of law" not only by harnessing market forces but by using them in order to promote "home-grown" legal standards. In that sense, "European sovereignty" may be a legal contradictio in terminis but it may also be the only future of sovereignty tout court.
Deterministic Hadamard gate for microwave "cat-state" qubits in cQED

description: We propose the implementation of a deterministic Hadamard gate for logical photonic qubits encoded in superpositions of coherent states of a harmonic oscillator. The proposed scheme builds on a recently introduced set of conditional operations in the strong dispersive regime of circuit QED [Z. Leghtas et al. Phys. Rev. A. {\bf 87} (2013)]. We further propose an architecture for coupling two such logical qubits and provide a universal set of deterministic quantum gates. Based on parameter values taken from the current state of the art, we give estimates for the achievable gate fidelities accounting for fundamental gate imperfections and finite coherence time due to photon loss.

description: We present new Chandra X-ray observations of the transient black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1659-152 in quiescence. These observations were made more than one year after the end of the source's 2010-2011 outburst. We detect the source at a 0.5-10 keV flux of 2.8(8)e-15 erg/cm^2/s, which corresponds to a luminosity of ~1.2e31 (d/ 6 kpc)^2 erg/s. This level, while being the lowest at which the source has been detected, is within factors of ~2 of the levels seen at the end of the initial decay of the outburst and soon after a major reflare of the source. The quiescent luminosity of MAXI J1659-152, which is the shortest-orbital-period black hole X-ray binary (~2.4 hr), is lower than that of neutron-star X-ray binaries with similar periods. However, it is higher than the quiescent luminosities found for black hole X-ray binaries with orbital periods ~2-4 times longer. This could imply that a minimum quiescent luminosity may exist for black hole X-ray binaries, around orbital periods of ~5-10 hr, as predicted by binary-evolution models for the mass transfer rate. Compared to the hard state we see a clear softening of the power-law spectrum in quiescence, from an index of 1.55(4) to an index of 2.5(4). We constrain the luminosity range in which this softening starts to fractional Eddington luminosities of (0.18-6.2)e-5 (d/ 6 kpc)^2 (M/ 8 Msun), which is consistent with the ranges inferred for other sources.

description: Despite all rhetorical references to European sovereignty, the EU cannot make a convincing claim to sovereignty under international law. International law does not vest non-state actors with sovereignty. What the EU can do and what it also does is that it acts as if it was a sovereign entity and claims certain rights that are considered core elements of State sovereignty. This paper sheds light on the meaning of the notion of sovereignty in the specific context of the EU's external legal relations. It argues that the Court of Justice's conception of the autonomy of the EU legal order provides the EU de facto with a core element of State sovereignty, namely a form of (negative) jurisdictional sovereignty that otherwise only States can claim. Under international law, a State's exclusive right to decide what acts shall be given effect on its territory is virtually undisputed. It is the core of the external aspect of negative sovereignty and functions as an independent, overriding justification to keep external influences out. The Court's autonomy conception serves the same purpose. The Court's broad conception of external influences that could threaten the EU's autonomy has in the past jeopardized international cooperation plans of the political institutions of the EU. Yet, shutting out external interference is also a necessary precondition for positive sovereignty, i.e. the ability to determine one's own course of action as a polity, as well as democratic legitimacy.
Planetary Transits with the ALMA Radio Interferometer

description: Planetary transits are commonly observed at visible wavelengths. Here we investigate the shape of a planetary transit observed at radio wavelengths. Solar maps of the Sun at 17 GHz are used as a proxy for the stellar eclipse by several sizes of planets from Super-Earths to Hot Jupiters. The relative depth at mid transit is the same as observed at visible wavelengths, but the limb brightening of the stellar disk at 17 GHz is clearly seen in the shape of the transit light curve. Moreover, when the planet occults an active region the depth of the transit decreases even further, depending on the brightness of the active region relative to the surrounding disk. For intense active region, with 50 times the brightness temperature of the surrounding disk, the decrease can supersede the unperturbed transit depth depending on the size of the eclipsing planet. For a Super-Earth (R_p=0.02 R_s) crossing, the decrease in intensity is 0.04%, increasing to 0.86% in the case when a strong active region is present. On the other hand, for a hot Jupiter with R_p=0.17 R_s, the unperturbed transit depth is 3% increasing to 4.7% when covering this strong active region. This kind of behavior can be verified with observation of planetary transits with the ALMA radio interferometer.

description: Among the most central open questions regarding the initial mass function (IMF) of stars is the impact of environment on the shape of the core mass function (CMF) and thus potentially on the IMF. The ALMA-IMF Large Program aims to investigate the variations in the core distributions with cloud characteristics, as diagnostic observables of the formation process and evolution of clouds. The present study focuses on the W43-MM2&MM3 mini-starburst, whose CMF has recently been found to be top-heavy with respect to the Salpeter slope. W43-MM2&MM3 harbors a rich cluster that contains a statistically significant number of cores, which was previously characterized in Paper III. We applied a multi-scale decomposition technique to the ALMA 1.3 mm and 3 mm continuum images to define six subregions. For each subregion we characterized the high column density probability distribution function, n-PDF, and the shape of the cloud gas using the 1.3 mm image. Using the core catalog, we investigate correlations between the CMF and cloud and core properties. We classify the subregions into different stages of evolution, from quiescent to burst to post-burst, based on the surface number density of cores, number of outflows, and UCHii presence. The high-mass end of the subregion CMFs varies from being close to the Salpeter slope (quiescent) to top-heavy (burst and post-burst). Moreover, the second tail of the n-PDF varies from steep, to flat like observed for the high mass star-forming clouds. We found that subregions with flat second n-PDF tails display top-heavy CMFs. The CMF may evolve from Salpeter to top-heavy throughout the star formation process from the quiescent to the burst phase. This scenario raises the question of if the CMF might revert again to Salpeter as the cloud approaches the end of its star formation stage, a hypothesis that remains to be tested.

description: Since the Peace of Westphalia sovereign political entities have unexceptionally been States and sovereignty has been thus long seen as entirely inseparable from the State. Does this mean that Emmanuel Macron in his calls for "sovereign Europe" is, in fact, campaigning in favor of turning the EU into a State? Or is he, in his political fervor, simply committing a category error? This Insight argues that neither is necessarily the case. The EU can be sovereign, without being a State.

This development runs parallel to the region's reckoning with its communist legacies at the national level, where national identity has been harnessed and sometimes instrumentalised to adopt revisionist interpretations of the past. Mnemonic governance in these States has also been heavily influenced by their proximity or membership to the European Union, which upholds the rule of law as a fundamental value. At the same time, the region's Soviet legacies have been projected by a newfound Russian assertiveness in the area, which has resulted in a phenomena known as memory wars. Those developments are accompanying the ongoing process of democratic transition in Eastern and Central European States. This introductory Article sets out the premises of the Special Section on historical memory in post-Communist Europe and the rule of law, by showing that these democratization processes are far from linear. It does so by first outlining the trajectory of memory governance in Western Europe, which has focused on the Holocaust as a foundational European narrative. It then outlines the tensions emerging between this account and the historical specificities of post-communist States which experienced different forms of totalitarianism. Finally, the introduction shows that the embrace of the rule of law in post-communist Europe in the form of the European Union project, transitional justice or democratic values has also been at odds with the region's mnemonic governance.

description: We report a systematic study on the crystal growth of the rare-earth titanates $R_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ ($R$ = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Yb and Lu) and Y-doped Tb$_{2-x}$Y$_x$Ti$_2$O$_7$ ($x$ = 0.2 and 1) using an optical floating-zone method. High-quality single crystals were successfully obtained and the growth conditions were carefully optimized. The oxygen pressure was found to be the most important parameter and the appropriate ones are 0.1--0.4 MPa, depending on the radius of rare-earth ions. The growth rate is another parameter and was found to be 2.5--4 mm/h for different rare-earth ions. X-ray diffraction data demonstrated the good crystallinity of these crystals. The basic physical properties of these crystals were characterized by the magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements.

description: In April 2015, Ukraine adopted the so-called decommunization package which reflects its attempts to deal with the past and defines directions of its current memory policy. To cope with the communist past and create a new pantheon of national heroes, Ukraine is re-writing its history, selectively choosing among the several memories those that can foster its national identity and cohesion. This is a controversial process which divided Ukraine's society and resulted in so-called memory wars - a clash of the State-sponsored historical narratives - with Russia and Poland. The internal and external contradictions which are a feature of decommunization in Ukraine give a reason to state that the frontline of European memory wars goes across this country. The present Article provides an overview of memory laws from Ukraine's decommunization package, analyses Ukraine's "official" historical narratives, and discusses the memory wars with Russia and Poland that it has been recently involved in.

description: We develop an efficient back gate for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices operating at cryogenic temperatures, and measure the quadratic hyperfine Stark shift parameter of arsenic donors in isotopically purified $^{28}$Si-SOI layers using such structures. The back gate is implemented using MeV ion implantation through the SOI layer forming a metallic electrode in the handle wafer, enabling large and uniform electric fields up to $\sim$ 2 V/$μ$m to be applied across the SOI layer. Utilizing this structure we measure the Stark shift parameters of arsenic donors embedded in the $^{28}$Si SOI layer and find a contact hyperfine Stark parameter of $η_a=-1.9\pm0.2\times10^{-3} μ$m$^2$/V$^2$. We also demonstrate electric-field driven dopant ionization in the SOI device layer, measured by electron spin resonance.

description: In the exploration of new osmium based double perovskites, Sr2FeOsO6 is a new insertion in the existing family. The polycrystalline compound has been prepared by solid state synthesis from the respective binary oxides. PXRD analysis shows the structure is pseudo-cubic at room temperature, whereas low-temperature synchrotron data refinements reveal the structure to be tetragonal, space group I4/m. Heat capacity and magnetic measurements of Sr2FeOsO6 indicated the presence of two magnetic phase transitions at T1 = 140 K and T2 = 67 K. Band structure calculations showed the compound as a narrow energy gap semiconductor, which supports the experimental results obtained from the resistivity measurements. The present study documents significant structural and electronic effects of substituting Fe3+ for Cr3+ ion in Sr2CrOsO6.

Primary Succession on Slag Sites and Uncontaminated Soil: A Comparison
Creators: name: Zou, Hengxing
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: slag sites
subject: environmental health & sustainability

description: Slag, waste from the steel-making process, contains large amounts of calcium, magnesium, iron and other heavy metals. Because of its composition, low pH and water retention ability, slag is considered an inhospitable environment to plants. Nevertheless, the spontaneously generated plant communities on slag are surprisingly diverse, but the assembly and structure of such communities is poorly studied. Previous studies have identified slow process of succession due to low growth rate and slow accumulation of topsoil. Using two former industrial sites on the South Side of Chicago, IL, I investigated whether slag communities display similar patterns. I removed all vegetation from plots on both slag and non-slag soil to test whether primary succession differed over one growing season (4 months). To directly assess plant growth, selected species were planted on both sites and harvested. I show that primary succession differed on slag and non-slag soils. The recruitment process on slag, measured by percent cover and number of recolonized species, was overall slower; however, the difference was not significant until 6-8 weeks of experiment, suggesting potential stage-dependent effect of slag on plant growth. Functional trait analysis found that graminoid and early successional species preferentially colonized slag plots. Slag plots recovered slower from disturbance, suggesting a slow succession process that would hinder natural recovery. However, slag also has the potential of hosting flora of analogous habitats native to the area, serving as plant refuge. Restoration effort should be informed by the low possibility of natural recovery, and its potential as native plant refuge.

description: In this paper we investigate the accelerating and decelerating cosmological models with non-linear spinor fields and non-minimal interaction of $f(R)$ gravity with a scalar field. We combine two different approaches to the description of dark energy: modified gravity theory and introduction of the additional fields. Solutions for the FRW universe with power-law scale factor are reconstructed for the model under consideration with specific choice for scalar and spinor potentials. It is explained the role of scalar and spinor potentials as well as f(R) function for emergence of accelerating or decelerating cosmology.

description: This Article focuses on some of the rules of interpretation contained in the Fundamental Law of Hungary (Art. R), which, while not belonging to the class of "memory laws" in the strict sense, make use of certain historically charged concepts. These concepts, examined in the first part of the Article in turn, are 1) the "achievements of the historical constitution", 2) the "constitutional identity", and 3) the "Christian culture" of Hungary. It is argued that in terms of their substance, these are open to competing historical interpretations. The second part of the Article deals with the pragmatic aspect of these provisions, that is, 4) their functions in constitutional interpretation. Based on that, the conclusion summarises 5) the role and motivation of historicising concepts both from the perspective of the constitution-maker and that of constitutional lawyers.

description: Recently a new observable to study halo nuclei was introduced, based on the ratio between breakup and elastic angular cross sections. This new observable is shown by the analysis of specific reactions to be independent of the reaction mechanism and to provide nuclear-structure information of the projectile. Here we explore the details of this ratio method, including the sensitivity to binding energy and angular momentum of the projectile. We also study the reliability of the method with breakup energy. Finally, we provide guidelines and specific examples for experimentalists who wish to apply this method.

description: Der Artikel ist in Form eines Interviewprotokolls verfasst und basiert auf einem Gespräch zwischen Dennis Eckhardt und den Mitgliedern des Forschungsprojekts Digitalisierung von Arbeit und Migration Moritz Altenried, Manuela Bojadžijev und Mira Wallis. Das Projekt gründet auf der Annahme, dass digitale Technologien nicht nur die Welt der Arbeit verändern, sondern auch Mobilität und Migration. Im Interview sprechen die Mitglieder des Forschungsprojekts über ihr Verständnis von digitalen Arbeitskulturen und setzen den Begriff in Beziehung zu Konzepten wie Logistik, Infrastruktur, Skalierbarkeit, Mobilität und Reproduktion. Anhand von Beispielen aus ihren empirischen Untersuchungen unterschiedlicher Formen von Plattformarbeit in Deutschland und Rumänien erläutern sie, wie digitale Plattformen Arbeit und Reproduktion reorganisieren und wie sich im Zuge dieser Transformation auch Formen und Praktiken von Arbeitsmigration verändern.
description: The article takes the form of an interview protocol and is based on a conversation between Dennis Eckhardt and the members of the research project Digitalisation of Labour and Migration Moritz Altenried, Manuela Bojadžijev and Mira Wallis. The project is based on the assumption that digital technologies not only transform the world of work, but also have far-reaching consequences for mobility and migration. In the interview, members of the research project talk about their understanding of the term digital work cultures and relate this to concepts such as logistics, infrastructure, scalability, mobility and reproduction. Using examples from their empirical research on different forms of platform work in Germany and Romania, they illustrate how digital platforms reorganise labour and reproduction, and also how forms and practices of labour migration change in the course of this transformation.

description: Geometric quantum manipulation and Landau-Zener interferometry have been separately explored in many quantum systems. In this Letter, we combine these two approaches to study the dynamics of a superconducting phase qubit. We experimentally demonstrate Landau-Zener interferometry based on the pure geometric phases in this solid-state qubit. We observe the interference caused by a pure geometric phase accumulated in the evolution between two consecutive Landau-Zener transitions, while the dynamical phase is canceled out by a spin-echo pulse. The full controllability of the qubit state as a function of the intrinsically robust geometric phase provides a promising approach for quantum state manipulation.
