description: Innovations in glass technologies and engineering over the last decades have altered the way we perceive glass. Combining transparency, durability and a compressive strength exceeding that of concrete and even structural steel, glass has evolved in the engineering world from a brittle, fragile material to a reliable structural component with high compressive load-carrying capacity. At present, the structural applications of glass in architecture are constantly increasing, yet with a considerable geometrical limitation: although glass’s fabrication boundaries have been continuously stretching so far, glass structures are still dominated by the limited shapes which can be generated by the combination of the virtually 2-dimensional, planar elements produced by the float industry. Whereas glass panels in float production can stretch more than 20 m in length, the width is restricted to 3.21 or 4.5 m and the maximum commercial thickness is only 25 mm (Lyons 2010; Schittich et al. 2007; Patterson 2011). Cast glass can overcome the design limitations imposed by the 2-dimensional nature of float glass. By pouring molten glass into moulds, solid 3-dimensional glass components of almost any shape and cross-section can be obtained1. Such objects can be shaped to form repetitive units for free-form full-glass structures that do not buckle due to their slender proportions, thus taking full advantage of the high compressive strength of glass; a solution little explored so far. Discouraging factors such as the meticulous and time-consuming annealing process required, the to-date non-standardized production, and the corresponding high manufacturing costs, have limited cast glass to only a handful of realized architectural applications. Consequently, there is a lack of engineering data and a general unawareness of the potential and risks of building with cast glass as a structural material. The loadbearing function of cast glass in architecture remains an unmapped field. Scope of this research is to explore the structural potential and limitations of solid cast glass components and introduce cast glass as a promising construction material in architecture, indicating both the potential and limitations of this alternative production process for glass in buildings. To achieve this, the research focuses on the development and experimental validation of two new design concepts for selfsupporting envelopes made almost entirely of cast glass components: adhesively bonded and interlocking cast glass components.

description: The paleogeographic position of the Alpine terrane with respect to (peri-) Gondwana during the Paleozoic is still a matter of debate. In this study we use a multi-proxy approach to analyze the provenance of siliciclastic sedimentary rocks from the Carnic Alps and the Northern Greywacke Zone, which include detrital U-Pb zircon dating, petrology and bulk geochemistry. The biostratigraphically well constrained deposits from the Carnic Alps have been used as a reference profile, and these results were compared to samples from the monotonous sediment record of the Northern Greywacke Zone. The stratigraphic interval ranges from the Middle Ordovician to the Silurian. The petrological and geochemical data indicate a high compositional maturity, which is supported by ZTR-dominated heavy mineral spectra. The results of U-Pb zircon dating (in total 957 concordant ages) show signatures typical for sedimentary rocks from the margin of Northern Gondwana and can be assigned to the East African-Arabian province. Most of the zircons show Pan-African ages, but presence of Meso- to Palaeoproterozoic and few Archean ages point to contributions from central Gondwana. Cambro-Ordovician zircon ages are linked to local volcanism at the northern margin of Gondwana. A stratigraphic trend both in the Carnic Alps and the Greywacke Zone is characterized by an increase of zircons with Tonian ages (900-700 Ma) and a decrease of zircons with Pan-African ages (700-550 Ma). We interpret the shift in detrital zircon ages by enhanced sediment input from the center of Gondwana mainland and reduced input by detritus from Cadomian crust of Northern Gondwana.

description: Clustered Low Rank (CLR) framework for block-sparse and block-low-rank tensor representation and computation is described. The CLR framework depends on 2 parameters that control precision: one controlling the CLR block rank truncation and another that controls screening of small contributions in arithmetic operations on CLR tensors. As these parameters approach zero CLR representation and arithmetic become exact. There are no other ad-hoc heuristics, such as domains. Use of the CLR format for the order-2 and order-3 tensors that appear in the context of density fitting (DF) evaluation of the Hartree-Fock (exact) exchange significantly reduced the storage and computational complexities below their standard $\mathcal{O}(N^3)$ and $\mathcal{O}(N^4)$ figures. Even for relatively small systems and realistic basis sets CLR-based DF HF becomes more efficient than the standard DF approach, and significantly more efficient than the conventional non-DF HF, while negligibly affecting molecular energies and properties.

description: Some nearly-symmetric fusion reactions are systematically investigated with the improved quantum molecular dynamics (ImQMD) model. By introducing two-body inelastic scattering in the Fermi constraint procedure, the stability of an individual nucleus and the description of fusion cross sections at energies near the Coulomb barrier can be further improved. Simultaneously, the quasi-fission process in $^{154}$Sm+$^{160}$Gd is also investigated with the microscopic dynamics model for the first time. We find that at energies above the Bass barrier, the fusion probability is smaller than $10^{-5}$ for this reaction, and the nuclear contact-time is generally smaller than $1500$ fm/c. From the central collisions of Sm+Gd, the neutron-rich fragments such as $^{164,165}$Gd, $^{192}$W can be produced in the ImQMD simulations, which implies that the quasi-fission reaction could be an alternative way to synthesize new neutron-rich heavy nuclei.

description: We investigate small scale equidistribution of random orthonormal bases of eigenfunctions (i.e. eigenbases) on a compact manifold M. Assume that the group of isometries acts transitively on M and the multiplicity of eigenfrequency tends to infinity at least logarithmically. We prove that, with respect to the natural probability measure on the space of eigenbases, almost surely a random eigenbasis is equidistributed at small scales; furthermore, the scales depend on the growth rate of multiplicity. In particular, this implies that almost surely random eigenbases on the n-dimensional sphere (n>=2) and the n-dimensional tori (n>=5) are equidistributed at polynomial scales.

description: Modeling phenomena from experimental data, always begin with a \emph{choice of hypothesis} on the observed dynamics such as \emph{determinism}, \emph{randomness}, \emph{derivability} etc. Depending on these choices, different behaviors can be observed. The natural question associated to the modeling problem is the following : \emph{"With a finite set of data concerning a phenomenon, can we recover its underlying nature ?} From this problem, we introduce in this paper the definition of \emph{multi-scale functions}, \emph{scale calculus} and \emph{scale dynamics} based on the \emph{time-scale calculus} (see \cite{bohn}). These definitions will be illustrated on the \emph{multi-scale Okamoto's functions}. The introduced formalism explains why there exists different continuous models associated to an equation with different \emph{scale regimes} whereas the equation is \emph{scale invariant}. A typical example of such an equation, is the \emph{Euler-Lagrange equation} and particularly the \emph{Newton's equation} which will be discussed. Notably, we obtain a \emph{non-linear diffusion equation} via the \emph{scale Newton's equation} and also the \emph{non-linear Schrödinger equation} via the \emph{scale Newton's equation}. Under special assumptions, we recover the classical \emph{diffusion} equation and the \emph{Schrödinger equation}.

A Pattern Language of Self Construction

description: Labor in favelas was not acknowledged by architects and planners because of the interpretation of the definition of the informal settlement and the slum. Also, by architectural practice and parochial theories, which affect the production of planners and architects. The definition of slums as spaces lacking sanitation and infrastructural components is deeply rooted in both theoretical and institutional definitions of the informal settlement. Nevertheless, the spaces of slums and informal settlements are much more complex and include social-economic aspects of everyday life of its inhabitants. Interpretative tools and intellectual frames are needed to open new perspectives and epistemologies in the field of architecture that are capable to address the needs of únderpriviledged people. This is the ethos of the methodology designed to study informal settlements in the present study. The finding that work is a fundamental element shaping space dynamics of informal settlement is based on an ethnographic research. To investigate how the social actions of the inhabitants shape them, methodological tools of anthropology (such as ethnography, interviews, oral history) rooted in De Certeau (and participatory research) were combined to the methodology of the Pattern Language (and with methodological tools of architecture such as drawing) to highlight the importance of social practices as shapers of space in in contexts in which the socio-spatial dynamics are not familiar to architects and planners, such as informal settlements. This methodology is underpinned by architectural imagination and intellectual reflection. It is the architectural imagination that allow architects and planners to create instruments to understand and represent space and new interpretative frames to study space. As for example, the perspective, which was invented when architects such as Bruneleschi experimented to draw over a mirror in a Plaza, in order to represent proportion, focal points and drain lines in the Renaissance Period.

A Retrospective Clinical Study Evaluating Full-Arch Monolithic Zirconia Implant Supported Fixed Dental Prosthesis

description: The metal-acrylic implant supported fixed dental prosthesis (MAISFDP) is the most commonly reported fixed implant prosthesis used to treat edentulism. Although favorable long-term implant and prosthetic survival rates have been demonstrated, complications involving the material such as veneer fracture can occur at a high rate. The monolithic zirconia implant supported fixed dental prosthesis (MZISFDP) is proposed to offer similar favorable outcomes as MAISFDP with fewer complications. This retrospective study shows that over a mean follow-up period of 41 months, MZISFDPs demonstrate high implant and prosthetic survival rates (100%) with highly favorable patient reported outcomes. Technical complications such as veneering fracture are lower (14%) but a unique set of complications such as debonded MZISFDP titanium abutments can occur. The biological complications reported in the study are similar to those reported in other MAISFDP studies. This study shows that MZISFDPs are a viable treatment option for edentulism.

description: In this paper, we propose observational methods for detecting lightning in protoplanetary disks. We do so by calculating the critical electric field strength in the lightning matrix gas (LMG), the parts of the disk where the electric field is strong enough to cause lightning. That electric field accelerates multiple positive ion species to characteristic terminal velocities. In this paper, we present three distinct discharge models, with corresponding critical electric fields. We simulate the position-velocity diagrams and the integrated emission maps for the models. We calculate the measure of sensitivity values for detection of the models, and for distinguishing between the models.

description: A measure is 1-rectifiable if there is a countable union of finite length curves whose complement has zero measure. We characterize 1-rectifiable Radon measures $μ$ in $n$-dimensional Euclidean space for all $n\geq 2$ in terms of positivity of the lower density and finiteness of a geometric square function, which loosely speaking, records in an $L^2$ gauge the extent to which $μ$ admits approximate tangent lines, or has rapidly growing density ratios, along its support. In contrast with the classical theorems of Besicovitch, Morse and Randolph, and Moore, we do not assume an a priori relationship between $μ$ and 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. We also characterize purely 1-unrectifiable Radon measures, i.e. locally finite measures that give measure zero to every finite length curve. Characterizations of this form were originally conjectured to exist by P. Jones. Along the way, we develop an $L^2$ variant of P. Jones' traveling salesman construction, which is of independent interest.

Activating Robust Covalent Bonds with Cobalt and Iron Carbonyls

description: Metal carbonyls are a class of organometallic compounds characterized by the presence of transition metals bonded to one or more carbonyl (CO) ligands. These compounds exhibit great ability to activate and transform small molecules (like carbon monoxide and hydrogen) by coordinating and activating their robust bonds. This property gives metal carbonyls substantial importance in industrial (production of fuels and chemicals) and medical applications. My research is focused on carbonyls of iron and cobalt. In contrast to the commonly employed noble metals, such as Pd, Ru, Rh, and Pt, first-row transition metals offer a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. I demonstrated that Fe carbonyl anion KCpFe(CO)2 can activate C-F bonds of aryl fluorides for: 1. The synthesis of aryliron(II) complexes CpFe(CO)2Ar (FpAr) in the absence of any catalyst; 2. Subsequent coupling with alkenes in Heck-type reactions; 3. Performing one-pot C-F/C-H functionalization with alkynes, giving indene derivatives as major products. Fe carbonyl-based heterobinuclear complex Ldipp(Me)Al-FeCp(CO)2 (Ldipp = HC{(CMe)(2,6-iPr2C6H3N)}2) was found to activate CO2 and epoxides through cooperative behavior of two radical intermediates. The Al-Fe bond dissociates homolytically at room temperature to generate formally AlII and FeI metalloradicals, which then add to substrates in a pairwise fashion initiated by O-coordination to Al. This “radical pair” pathway represents an unprecedented mechanism for CO2 activation. On the other hand, I also discovered that unprecedently Co carbonyl, cheap and commercially available Co2(CO)8, can catalyze hydrogermylation of terminal alkynes. Subsequently, a selective, accessible method was developed to synthesize E-(β)-vinyl(trialkyl)germanes, crucial synthetic building blocks, from various terminal alkynes with high yields. The newly developed is compatible with alkynes bearing both aryl and alkyl substituents, providing unrivaled selectivity for previously challenging primary alkyl-substituted alkynes. Despite the significant advances in the field, there is always room for improvement, and it is likely metal carbonyls will continue to play a vital role in industrial processes and academic research in the future.

description: Climate science is multidisciplinary by nature as it involves research in diverse disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, geology, geography, meteorology, oceanography, etc. Common tools, data and techniques used for climate include numerical models, big data analysis, AI, in-situ observations, remote sensing and laboratory experiments. To handle the huge, ever growing and distributed amounts of data involved, the software stack is diverse and complex. Also, given that the tools available are written in different programming languages (Python, Julia, R, Fortran, C, C++) and that scientists often possess different backgrounds and technical skills, this only adds to the challenge of multidisciplinary collaboration. Open Science is undoubtedly the most effective way to overcome these difficulties and EOSC provides the framework to put it into practice.

Coupling of microwave magnetic dynamics in thin ferromagnetic films to stripline transducers in the geometry of the broadband stripline ferromagnetic resonance

description: We constructed a quasi-analytical self-consistent model of the stripline-based broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements of ferromagnetic films. Exchange-free description of magnetization dynamics in the films allowed us to obtain simple analytical expressions. They enable quick and efficient numerical simulations of the dynamics. With this model we studied the contribution of radiation losses to the ferromagnetic resonance linewidth, as measured with the stripline FMR. We found that for films with large conductivity of metals the radiation losses are significantly smaller than for magneto-insulating films. Excitation of microwave eddy currents in these materials contributes to the total microwave impedance of the system. This leads to impedance mismatch with the film environment resulting in decoupling of the film from the environment and, ultimately, to smaller radiation losses. We also show that the radiation losses drop with an increase in the stripline width and when the sample is lifted up from the stripline surface. Hence, in order to eliminate this measurement artifact one needs to use wide striplines and introduce a spacer between the film and the sample surface. The radiation losses contribution is larger for thicker films.

description: The complexity of the interactions between the constituent granular and liquid phases of a suspension requires an adequate treatment of the constituents themselves. A promising way for numerical simulations of such systems is given by hybrid computational frameworks. This is naturally done, when the Lagrangian description of particle dynamics of the granular phase finds a correspondence in the fluid description. In this work we employ extensions of the Lattice-Boltzmann Method for non-Newtonian rheology, free surfaces, and moving boundaries. The models allows for a full coupling of the phases, but in a simplified way. An experimental validation is given by an example of gravity driven flow of a particle suspension.

description: This doctoral thesis presents the results of ten years of research on informal settlements, with particular reference to Brazilian favelas. The research aimed to understand the social dynamics of the production of space in these settlements. To this purpose, the author took residence in favelas and performed field research for a total of six years, including the witnessing of a resettlement process from a favela to a formal social housing development in the city of Maceió, in Brazil. The social dynamics that produces and influences the space of the favelas observed in the field were systematically codified in a new pedagogic tool by the author. As main findings from the analysis, it emerged that labor primarily shapes, plans and governs space in informal settlements. Working activities explain the emergence of these settlements, influence the dynamics of space inside the domain of the house, influence the shape of streets up to the margin of the favelas, but also has influence on city and global scales. From the residents’ perspective, labor represents both a means to earn their subsistence, livelihoods and underscores their inner self-esteem as human beings. Working practices originally present in the favelas were in fact restored in the social housing development to where citizens were relocated, with their original domestic function. According to this thesis, labor practices of inhabitants of informal settlements must be addressed when designing housing solutions for deprived citizens fighting for their survival and must be considered as a housing right. The reasons why the current housing approaches do not contemplate work are understood in context and interpreted according to their historic and economic backgrounds. A housing architectural and planning approach aimed at restoring the combination of working and domestic functions of human beings is proposed instead.

description: This dissertation investigated regional-design practices that evolved in the context of Dutch national planning frameworks in the period between the 1980s and the 2010s. Questions concerned whether and how practices influenced these planning frameworks, and the extent to which practices were influenced by shifts that frameworks underwent over time. The main aim of the dissertation was to develop an enhanced understanding of interrelations between regional design and spatial planning, so the performances of regional design in the spatial-planning realm can be better anticipated. The personal motivation of this dissertation lies in my professional experience as a regional designer. I am trained as an architect and gained experience as an urban designer during my early professional carrier. In 2005, I became Chief Designer at South Wing Studio (Atelier Zuidvleugel), a publicly funded think tank which was asked to explore regionalisation and planning in the Southern part of the Dutch Randstad region by means of design. I was used to feeling doubt while designing buildings, public spaces and neighbourhoods. In the meantime, I learned from design theory that it is natural for a designer to doubt. The built environment is an intricate, complex system; there are always a multitude of alternative paths to use during a search for good solutions. However, doubt was accelerated in regional-design practice, due to its concern about large-scale areas and costly public works, and its position in a multi-actor and highly political setting. Every design step accomplished became intensely debated. Every step generated surprises, unforeseen reactions; encouraging at times, discouraging at others.

description: To design for the purpose of planning was not new when regional design emerged as a distinguished discipline in the 1980s in the Netherlands. On the contrary, to imagine solutions for particular areas and to discuss these for the purpose of planning has been a long-standing tradition that can be traced back to the emergence of urban planning in the early 20th century. However, when spatial planning emerged as a new, more collaborative and anticipatory planning approach in the last decades, expectations concerning performances of design in planning decision-making increased. Design came to be seen as a practice that not only improves the spatial and technical quality of plans, but also enhances planning innovation, clarifies political agendas, forges societal alliances and raises the efficiency of planning through timely consideration of conflicts that planning may cause in societal and political domains. Since the 1990s, regional design underwent a process of institutionalisation in Dutch national planning. The practice became repetitively used and was formally embedded in planning procedures. Despite more varied expectations and institutionalisation, interrelations between regional design and spatial planning are not well understood. As a result, the performances of regional design are difficult to predict and consequently, often disappointing. Therefore, this research has sought to conceptualise interrelations between regional design and spatial planning. It aimed at an enhanced explanation and prediction of performances. The main research question was: how do the interrelations between regional design and spatial planning influence the performances of regional design? Answers to this question were sought through case-study research. During two consecutive rounds of exploration, two perspectives were taken. During a first in-depth case-study, key performances of regional design were analysed. During a second multiple case-studies analysis, the contextual determinants of these performances were investigated. Detailed results of this dissertation are embodied in Chapter 3 to 7 of this publication. Below, these outcomes are summarised in order to form one coherent line of argument. Theoretical notions, which were considered during the research but were not mentioned in earlier publications of the chapters in the form of journal articles and book chapters, are added. The chapter also contains a critical reflection on the research approaches that were used. A dedicated section summarises the implications of findings for future research.

description: This chapter discusses the organisational setting of regional design in the realms of spatial planning and territorial governance. As a starting point, it argues that rules on how imagined design solutions function in an abstract, simplified ‘planning world’ are an important regional design product. When focusing on these rules, regional design practice resembles discretionary action. As such, it aims to improve planning decisions by judging the implications of planning frameworks when applied to particular situations. This implies that the involvement of actors in design practice requires careful consideration. As in any form of legitimate rule-building, a critical distance between those who initiate practices and conduct design, and those who judge the quality and relevance of design outcomes is essential. On the basis of these considerations the chapter investigates regional design practices that occurred between the 1980s and 2010s in the context of Dutch national planning. It shows how they transformed from being a form of professional advocacy, criticising planning, into a practice that was pragmatically used to implement a national planning agenda. The chapter concludes by discussing this institutionalisation of a creative practice in the Netherlands, reflecting upon the implications of these outcomes for territorial governance in particular.

description: Due to today’s globalization, international companies compete across the continents and not only goods, but also many internal tasks and processes are dispersed all around the world. Services are often conducted in service centres, so-called “Business Services Centres” or BSCs. These may be operated by the company itself or by other suppliers, often providing these services for more than one client. Since these services most often do not rely on natural resources like ore and other strictly location specific components, in theory, they can be conducted all around the world. In a strictly profit oriented theory of economy, these centres naturally move to locations, where the labor costs are as low as possible, the laws, with respect to lay-offs, are the most flexible ones, taxes are low and other directly service-related requirements are met. For the region, this reduces unemployment and contributes in a modest way to welfare, for the companies, the return on investment (ROI) is higher. If any conditions for these centres change in an unfavorable way, they are ‘up and away’ and settle somewhere else - where the situation seems to be better - because their main resource (besides electricity and internet connectivity), the human labor, is said to be ubiquitous. So such centres are called ‘footloose’, as they are said to have a very low degree of embeddedness, or not to have will or need to stay in one location. In this study, on the examination of Trójmiasto (Gdańsk), another picture is drawn. Indeed, a certain amount of embeddedness is to be found. The preliminary results of this research may help local investors’ supporters to increase the attractiveness of their location and it may help companies in finding a suitable location for their BSCs.
Identifying Genetic Factors Affecting Anthracycline-Induced Cytotoxcity

description: The molecular mechanisms responsible for anthracycline-induced cytotoxicity have been elusive despite intensive research over the past half century. Here, hits from a genome-wide association (GWA) screen seeking to identify genetic factors influencing drug-dose response were validated using a shRNA approach. The initial screen examined the phenotypic response of over 500 CHORI patient lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) to the anthracyclines daunorubicin, epirubicin, and doxorubicin. Five candidate genes were identified from statistical correlation between intrinsic genomic differences and phenotype variability across the population of cell lines. Of the 5 candidates selected (ADTRP, CSMD3, FHIT, PELI2, and SLC24A3), stable knockdown of PELI2 (and the positive control TOP2A) in LCLs were shown to have a significant effect on dose-dependent anthracycline response. While TOP2A has been previously established in the mechanism of anthracycline response, the identification of PELI2 in this screen is intriguing given recent work implicating NF-κβ; signaling pathways in anthracycline response. These results establish shRNA-mediated gene-knockdown as a means to further validate GWA screens in LCLs.

description: X-ray surveys are well suited to detect, identify and study young stars based on their high levels of magnetic activity and thus X-ray brightness. The eROSITA instrument onboard the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) satellite will perform an X-ray all-sky survey that surpasses existing data by a sensitivity increase of more than an order of magnitude. The 4 yr survey is expected to detect more than half a million stars and stellar systems in X-rays.

description: We analyze the spatial distribution of dusty young stellar objects (YSOs) identified in the Spitzer Survey of the Orion Molecular clouds, augmenting these data with Chandra X-ray observations to correct for incompleteness in dense clustered regions. We also devise a scheme to correct for spatially varying incompleteness when X-ray data are not available. The local surface densities of the YSOs range from 1 pc$^{-2}$ to over 10,000 pc$^{-2}$, with protostars tending to be in higher density regions. This range of densities is similar to other surveyed molecular clouds with clusters, but broader than clouds without clusters. By identifying clusters and groups as continuous regions with surface densities $\ge10$ pc$^{-2}$, we find that 59% of the YSOs are in the largest cluster, the Orion Nebular Cluster (ONC), while 13% of the YSOs are found in a distributed population. A lower fraction of protostars in the distributed population is evidence that it is somewhat older than the groups and clusters. An examination of the structural properties of the clusters and groups show that the peak surface densities of the clusters increase approximately linearly with the number of members. Furthermore, all clusters with more than 70 members exhibit asymmetric and/or highly elongated structures. The ONC becomes azimuthally symmetric in the inner 0.1 pc, suggesting that the cluster is only $\sim 2$ Myr in age. We find the star formation efficiency (SFE) of the Orion B cloud is unusually low, and that the SFEs of individual groups and clusters are an order of magnitude higher than those of the clouds. Finally, we discuss the relationship between the young low mass stars in the Orion clouds and the Orion OB 1 association, and we determine upper limits to the fraction of disks that may be affected by UV radiation from OB stars or by dynamical interactions in dense, clustered regions.

description: The document presents the questionnaire developed to evaluate the multiplicative effect of the ‘Cut all ties’ intervention (Spanish version). The aim of the ‘Cut All Ties’ project is to address gender-based violence (GBV) by designing, implementing, and validating an effective and innovative ICT gamification methodology pilot. The objective is to disseminate awareness-raising messages to prevent and reduce GBV among youngsters aged 15 to 17 years in 6 high schools in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid) and Italy (Milan). The primary focus is on transforming the attitudes and behaviours of young individuals within the context of GBV in early sexual-affective relationships. In this section of the report, we assessed whether the opinions and awareness regarding GBV changed significantly more in the schools where the training and the gamification take place. The objectives of the questionnaire were as follows: 1. To understand the potential effects of the interventions (training and gamification) on changing students' opinions and awareness about the prevention of male violence. 1a) To verify if combining the training with gamification has a greater impact on improving students' awareness and attitudes towards GBV. 1b) To determine if active participation in the training and gamification makes students more sensitive to GBV compared to their peers. 2. To examine if awareness of the subject differs based on specific participant characteristics such as age, gender, sexual preference, etc. were implemented compared to other schools. The main sections of the questionnaire are as follows: gender information; general conception about GBV; GBV in youth early sexual-affective relationships; Gender Cyber violence; Identification of GBV; Is the school a safe space?; Definitions of GBV; self-perception and GBV.

description: The recent discovery of extreme magnetoresistance in LaSb introduced lanthanum monopnictides as a new platform to study topological semimetals (TSMs). In this work we report the discovery of extreme magnetoresistance in LaBi, confirming lanthanum monopnictides as a promising family of TSMs. These binary compounds with the simple rock-salt structure are ideal model systems to search for the origin of extreme magnetoresistance. Through a comparative study of magnetotransport effects in LaBi and LaSb, we construct a triangular temperature-field phase diagram that illustrates how a magnetic field tunes the electronic behavior in these materials. We show that the triangular phase diagram can be generalized to other topological semimetals with different crystal structures and different chemical compositions. By comparing our experimental results to band structure calculations, we suggest that extreme magnetoresistance in LaBi and LaSb originates from a particular orbital texture on their qasi-2D Fermi surfaces. The orbital texture, driven by spin-orbit coupling, is likely to be a generic feature of various topological semimetals.
