description: Our study offers first insights into the evolution of intermediate host number in Trematoda. We based the analyses on both mitogenomic and nuclear genomic topologies. For this, we sequenced mitogenomes of first two aspidogastrean species and applied various strategies to tackle the topological instability hampering the phylogenetic reconstruction in trematodes. The constraint trees with Cestoda as the outgroup were identified as the optimal topologies for ancestral state reconstruction analyses. These revealed that a direct life cycle, devoid of intermediate hosts, was probably the ancestral state for both Trematoda and Aspidogastrea, whereas the ancestor of Digenea likely utilized two intermediate hosts. Additionally, we propose a timeline outlining these evolutionary shifts and the different evolutionary pathways of intermediate host number in Aspidogastrea and Digenea. Finally, our analyses indicate that host strategies are relatively plastic among trematodes, putatively comprising several independent host gains, and multiple host losses.

description: Grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion is a crucial step in Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, responsible for mapping grapheme to corresponding phonetic representations. However, it faces ambiguities problems where the same grapheme can represent multiple phonemes depending on contexts, posing a challenge for G2P conversion. Inspired by the remarkable success of Large Language Models (LLMs) in handling context-aware scenarios, contextual G2P conversion systems with LLMs' in-context knowledge retrieval (ICKR) capabilities are proposed to promote disambiguation capability. The efficacy of incorporating ICKR into G2P conversion systems is demonstrated thoroughly on the Librig2p dataset. In particular, the best contextual G2P conversion system using ICKR outperforms the baseline with weighted average phoneme error rate (PER) reductions of 2.0% absolute (28.9% relative). Using GPT-4 in the ICKR system can increase of 3.5% absolute (3.8% relative) on the Librig2p dataset.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: DH, information theory, change in language use, variation

description: For the investigation of variation in language use, besides the extra-linguistic context it is also essential to consider variation given the more local linguistic context. This allows us to contribute towards a better understanding of why there is variation. In particular, we are interested in how variation helps to modulate the information content of linguistic units, achieving optimization effects for efficient communication (Jaeger and Levy, 2007; Piantadosi et al., 2011). I will present how we can detect and analyze variation with data-driven methods across different dimensions of variation (i.e. the extra-linguistic context such as time, demographics, registers). We pursue answers to questions such as: how do scientific language change over time and possibly become more optimal for scientific communication; how gender and social class differences impact language use within formal vs. informal contexts; do literary research articles experience an effect of “scientization” over time, e.g. by becoming more standardized? Possible effects of selected linguistic choices on language use are traced at the level of local linguistic context. In accordance with communicative accounts, we focus on tracing effects of variation that modulate the information content transmitted. I will also spend some time on discussing how integrating diverse types of evidence (e.g. corpus-based and experimental) helps to work towards a more comprehensive understanding of variation in language use.

description: Starting from Alston's claim that the representation of families in children's literature reflects a tenacious disciplinary discourse, which is marked by stark continuity rather than change, we analyze the representation of families in the illustrations of historical Dutch-language children's literature (1800-1940). We use CLIP, a multimodal machine learning model, to extract the illustrations which depict a family from our dataset of 20.000 illustrations. In our presentation we highlight both the potential and the pitfalls of this methodology for research in the Humanities.

Subjects: Iron Deficiency, Anemia, Preschool Children, Global Health, Risk Factors

description: Iron deficiency (ID) and anemia remain pressing public health concerns, affecting populations across both developed and developing nations. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 40% of preschool children are estimated to suffer from anemia, with this age group being particularly vulnerable due to their high iron requirements driven by rapid growth.

Various risk factors contribute to iron deficiency anemia (IDA), including low birth weight, excessive cow's milk consumption, insufficient dietary iron intake, low socioeconomic status, and frequent infections, all of which can deplete iron stores and increase the likelihood of ID. Importantly, ID can lead to adverse consequences such as impaired cognitive performance, reduced physical endurance, and a heightened risk of infant mortality due to compromised immune function.

In 2011, it was estimated that a staggering 273.2 million preschool-age children globally (42.6%) suffered from anemia, with 17.1 million (22.3%) in the Americas alone. A national study in Brazil further revealed that around one-fifth of children under five years of age grapple with anemia.

This abstract underscore the persistence and far-reaching impact of ID and anemia, shedding light on the significance of addressing these health challenges on a global scale

description: Investigating students' thinking in classroom tasks, particularly in science and engineering, is essential for improving educational practices and advancing student learning. In this context, the notion of Ways of Thinking (WoT) has gained traction in STEM education, offering a framework to explore how students approach and solve interdisciplinary problems. Building on our earlier studies and contributing to ongoing discussions on WoT frameworks, this paper introduces a new WoT framework: Ways of Thinking in Engineering Design based Physics (WoT4EDP). WoT4EDP integrates five key elements: design, science, mathematics, metacognitive reflection, and computational thinking within an undergraduate introductory physics laboratory. This framework offers a novel perspective by emphasizing how these interconnected elements work together to foster deeper learning and holistic problem-solving in Engineering Design based projects. A key takeaway is that this framework serves as a practical tool for educators and researchers to design, implement, and analyze interdisciplinary STEM activities in physics classrooms. We describe the development of WoT4EDP, situate it within the broader landscape of undergraduate STEM education, and provide detailed characterizations of its components. Additionally, we compare WoT4EDP with two contemporary frameworks: Dalal et al. (2021) and English (2023), to glean insights that enhance its application and promote interdisciplinary thinking. This paper is the first of a two-part series. In the upcoming second part, we will demonstrate the application of the WoT4EDP framework, showcasing how it can be used to analyze student thinking in real-world, ED-based physics projects.

description: We present a formulation of coherent states as of consistent quantum description of classical configurations in the BRST-invariant quantization of electrodynamics. The quantization with proper gauge-fixing is performed on the vacuum of the theory, whereas other backgrounds are obtained as BRST-invariant coherent states. One of the key insights is the possibility of constructing the coherent states of pure-gauge configurations. This provides a coherent state understanding of topologically non-trivial configurations in gauge theories, and makes number of features, such as the suppression of transitions between topologically-distinct sectors, very transparent at full quantum level. As an example, we construct the Nielsen-Olesen string as a BRST-invariant coherent state. The Abelian pure-gauge configurations can also be viewed as useful analogs for a set of space-times related by coordinate reparameterizations in General Relativity.

description: The current study reports the results of a psychoacoustic listening experiment investigating the human response to the noise emissions from various types of drone flyovers, recorded during acoustic field experiments. The investigation covers six quadcopters with single propellers, a quadcopter with counterrotating propellers, and two types of hybrid electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) drones. These recorded audio samples were employed in a dedicated listening experiment conducted at the Psychoacoustic Listening Laboratory (PALILA) in the faculty of Aerospace Engineering of Delft University of Technology, involving 57 participants. The two eVTOL drones were perceived as considerably less annoying than their quadcopter counterparts, whereas the coaxial-propeller quadcopter was found to be the most annoying drone. Strong correlations were found between the mass and volume of the quadcopter drones and the annoyance ratings from the listening experiments. Psychoacoustic annoyance metrics from different models proved to predict the perceived noise annoyance more accurately than conventional sound metrics typically employed in noise assessment.
Stripe Antiferromagnetic Ground-State Configuration of FeSe Revealed by Density Functional Theory

description: The magnetic ground-state configuration of iron selenide FeSe has been a topic of debate, with experimental evidence suggesting the stripe spin fluctuations as predominant at low temperatures, while density functional theory (DFT) calculations using exchange-correlation (XC) functional of the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) have historically predicted the antiferromagnetic (AFM) dimer configuration. In this study, we utilize the $\text{r}^{2}\text{SCAN}$ functional, a variant of the Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed (SCAN) meta-GGA, to investigate the magnetic configurations of FeSe. It is found that $\text{r}^{2}\text{SCAN}$ predicts a stripe-AFM ground-state configuration with an anti-parallel spin alignment between layers. The energy difference between the parallel and anti-parallel inter-planar spin alignments is approximately 1.7 meV/atom, predicting a significant but previously unreported interlayer spin coupling not yet observed by experiments. The present study underscores the importance of accurate XC functionals, such as $\text{r}^{2}\text{SCAN}$, in predicting the magnetic ground-state configuration of complex materials like FeSe, highlighting its potential to predict magnetic interactions more reliably than traditional GGA functionals by adhering to exact constraints.

description: Recent studies have demonstrated that the uncertainty in projections can be reduced by weighting the GCMs based on their ability to accurately reproduce historical climate conditions in specific geographical regions. This project aims to apply a similar approach to reduce uncertainty in panCanadian downscaled projections by leveraging the latest generation of GCM projection data from CMIP6. The research is conducted in two phases. The first phase involves employing a constraint method called ClimWIP to select and weight GCMs from CMIP6 based on their performance and independence metrics, with a specific focus on accurately reproducing the annual maximum of snow water equivalent. The second phase entails comparing the constrained projections with discrete model families and the likely range of equilibrium climate sensitivities. The primary objective of this research is to deliver enhanced projections with regard to snow water equivalent as a key performance metric in the weighting process. These improved projections that may be utilized to enhance floodplain mapping by integrating dynamical downscaling and refining estimates of projection uncertainty across the pan-Canadian region.

description: In this study, we evaluate the performance of the N-dimensional Multivariate Bias Correction (MBCn) statistical downscaling method over the Fraser River Basin in British Columbia, Canada. Modelling climatic and hydrologic processes in this key watershed in western Canada requires an expanded suite of variables beyond precipitation and temperature. Here, we assess how well MBCn downscaled simulations replicate univariate and multivariate properties of nine climatic variables in this basin, and whether MBCn provides added value over a univariate downscaling method (Quantile Delta Mapping; QDM) applied to the same variables. Data for the analysis include daily values from the Canadian Surface Reanalysis (CaSR) and two realizations of the Canadian Earth System Model Version 5 (CanESM5). Multivariate downscaling to 10×10 km resolution is applied with MBCn using two approaches: first, using aggregated CaSR as input in a perfect model framework; second, using each CanESM5 realization subjected to two calibration strategies, yielding four distinct downscaled simulations that help reveal the role of internal variability. Results comparing each downscaling approach to CaSR during 1980–2018 indicate that MBCn reproduces the spatial and temporal properties of most univariate and multivariate indices considered, although there is greater disagreement between the MBCn-downscaled results and the target data in mountainous areas of the basin. Pairwise correlation analyses from the CanEM5 simulations reveal that MBCn is able to preserve the interdependencies among the nine climate variables in the target data that are not captured using the univariate QDM downscaling method. Similar added value is also found from MBCn in the representation of multivariate derived indices calculated from combinations of the nine climate variables in the basin. Overall, using MBCn to downscale interdependent variables in regions such as the Fraser River Basin offers potential improvements for applications that depend on multivariate inputs.

description: Forecasting the geomagnetic effects of solar coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is currently an unsolved problem. CMEs, responsible for the largest values of the north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field, are the key driver of intense and extreme geomagnetic activity. Observations of southward interplanetary magnetic fields are currently only accessible directly through in situ measurements by spacecraft in the solar wind. On 10-12 May 2024, the strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003 took place, caused by five interacting CMEs. We clarify the relationship between the CMEs, their solar source regions, and the resulting signatures at the Sun-Earth L1 point observed by the ACE spacecraft at 1.00 AU. The STEREO-A spacecraft was situated at 0.956 AU and 12.6° west of Earth during the event, serving as a fortuitous sub-L1 monitor providing interplanetary magnetic field measurements of the solar wind. We demonstrate an extension of the prediction lead time, as the shock was observed 2.57 hours earlier at STEREO-A than at L1, consistent with the measured shock speed at L1, 710 km/s, and the radial distance of 0.04 AU. By deriving the geomagnetic indices based on the STEREO-A beacon data, we show that the strength of the geomagnetic storm would have been decently forecasted, with the modeled minimum SYM-H=-478.5 nT, underestimating the observed minimum by only 8%. Our study sets an unprecedented benchmark for future mission design using upstream monitoring for space weather prediction.

description: Veränderungen gegenüber 2019: Einige Fragen werden nicht jährlich, sondern in einem zwei- oder mehrjährigen Turnus gestellt. Im Rahmen dieses Modulsystems wurde eine Reihe von Fragen aus dem Fragebogen der Welle 28 herausgenommen, andere wiederum aufgenommen. Außerhalb des Modulsystems wurde eine Reihe von neuen Fragen aufgenommen (vgl. hierzu ausführlich Abschnitt 3.1). In diesem Jahr waren dies Fragen zu den Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie. Vor dem Hintergrund der Corona-Pandemie wurde die Befragung grundsätzlich telefonisch durchgeführt. Eine persönlich-mündliche Durchführung war allerdings möglich, sollte der Betrieb diesen Befragungsmodus bevorzugen. Nach der Umstellung der Erstbefragtenstichprobe in der Welle 2019 wurde 2020 die Wiederholerstichprobe auf einen computergestützten Erhebungsmodus umgestellt. Für eine detaillierte Beschreibung vgl. Kapitel 4.2. Seit Ende Mai 2018 gilt die EU-Datenschutzgrundsatzverordnung (DSGVO) unmittelbar in allen EU-Mitgliedstaaten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde in der Welle 2019 am Ende des Fragebogens die Einwilligung der Betriebe erhoben, dass Kantar sie in der Folgewelle 2020 erneut kontaktieren dürfe (Art. 6 Abs. 1 a, DSGVO). Aus diesem Grund war die Stichprobe der Wiederholerbetriebe um ca. 10 Prozent kleiner als im Befragungsjahr 2018. Dieser Verlust wurde durch einen erhöhten Bruttoeinsatz bei der Stichprobe der erstbefragten Betriebe ausgeglichen. Für detaillierte Informationen zur Stichprobe vgl. Kapitel 2 und 4.2. 2020 wurde diese Einwilligungsfrage in Absprache mit dem IAB nicht mehr erhoben. Seit der Welle 2020 wird in Absprache mit dem IAB zu Beginn des Fragebogens die Einwilligung der Betriebe erfragt, die im Fragebogen erhobenen Angaben zu Forschungszwecken mit im IAB vorliegenden Daten verknüpfen zu dürfen, da die Ausführungen im Datenschutzblatt zur Weitergabe und Verknüpfung der erhobenen Daten als Grundlage für die Verknüpfung nicht ausreichen.

description: Protected areas (PAs) are the primary strategy for slowing terrestrial biodiversity loss. Although expansion of PA coverage is prioritized under the Convention on Biological Diversity, it remains unknown whether PAs mitigate declines across the tetrapod tree of life and to what extent land cover and climate change modify PA effectiveness1,2. Here we analysed rates of change in abundance of 2,239 terrestrial vertebrate populations across the globe. On average, vertebrate populations declined five times more slowly within PAs (−0.4% per year) than at similar sites lacking protection (−1.8% per year). The mitigating effects of PAs varied both within and across vertebrate classes, with amphibians and birds experiencing the greatest benefits. The benefits of PAs were lower for amphibians in areas with converted land cover and lower for reptiles in areas with rapid climate warming. By contrast, the mitigating impacts of PAs were consistently augmented by effective national governance. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of PAs as a strategy for slowing tetrapod declines. However, optimizing the growing PA network requires targeted protection of sensitive clades and mitigation of threats beyond PA boundaries. Provided the conditions of targeted protection, adequate governance and well-managed landscapes are met, PAs can serve a critical role in safeguarding tetrapod biodiversity.

description: Changes Compared to 2019: Some questions are asked not annually but every two or more years. Within the frame-work of this modular system a number of questions were removed from the questionnaire in wave 28 and others were included. Outside the modular system a number of new questions have been included (cf. section 3.1 in detail). This year, these were questions about the impact of the Corona pandemic. Against the background of the Corona pandemic, the survey was generally conducted by telephone. However, a face-to-face interview was possible if the establishment preferred this interview mode. After the conversion of the refreshment sample in the 2019 wave, the continuer sample was converted to a computer-assisted survey mode in 2020. For a detailed description, see chapter 4.2. Since the end of May 2018, the EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been directly applicable in all EU member states. Against this background, in the 2019 wave, the consent of the establishments was collected at the end of the questionnaire for a renewed contact in the follow-up wave in 2020 by Kantar (Art. 6 para. 1 a, DSGVO). For this reason, the sample of panel establishments was approximately 10 percent smaller than in the 2018 survey year. This loss was offset by an increased gross input in the sample of establishments surveyed for the first time. For detailed information on the sample, see chapters 2 and 4.2. 2020 this consent question was no longer asked as agreed with the IAB. Since the 2020 wave, in conclusion with the IAB, the establishments have been asked at the beginning of the questionnaire for their consent to link the data collected in the questionnaire with data available at the IAB for research purposes, as the explanations in the data protection sheet on the dissemination and linking of the data collected are not sufficient as a basis for the linking.

description: The modulation of channel conductance in field-effect transistors (FETs) via metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures has revolutionized information processing and storage. However, the limitations of silicon-based FETs in electrical switching have driven the search for new materials capable of overcoming these constraints. Electrostatic gating of competing electronic phases in a Mott material near its metal to insulator transition (MIT) offers prospects of substantial modulation of the free carriers and electrical resistivity through small changes in band filling. While electrostatic control of the MIT has been previously reported, the advancement of Mott materials towards novel Mott transistors requires the realization of their charge gain prospects in a solid-state device. In this study, we present gate-control of electron correlation using a solid-state device utilizing the oxide Mott system $La_{1-x}Sr_xVO_3$ as a correlated FET channel. We report on a gate resistance response that cannot be explained in a purely electrostatic framework, suggesting at least $\times100$ charge gain originating from the correlated behavior. These preliminary results pave the way towards the development of highly efficient, low-power electronic devices that could surpass the performance bottlenecks of conventional FETs by leveraging the electronic phase transitions of correlated electron systems.
D6.2_Report on EOMs best management practices and practical guidelines for EOMs end-users

description: The EOM4SOIL project explores the use of external organic matter (EOM) as a soil amendment in agriculture. EOM includes urban and industrial bio-wastes, as well as farm-produced materials like crop residues and livestock manure. These materials often undergo processes such as anaerobic digestion, carbonization, and composting to create soil amendments that improve physical, chemical and biological properties of agricultural soils.Research over the past two decades shows that using EOM in soil management preserves soil fertility and improves ecosystem functions. Without EOM, soil fertility can decline, limiting nutrient availability, and soil structure degrades reducing soil porosity, aeration and water capacity, with a direct impact on biodiversity.The European Union promotes EOM recycling as part of a Circular Economy due to its benefits, including:- Returning carbon to soils and potential carbon storage,- Enhancing soil fertility and biological activity,- Improving physical and chemical soil properties,- Increasing nutrient use efficiency.The present document provides best management practices and guidelines for EOM use, aiming to mitigate climate change and improve soil health, especially for arable and permanent crops. These guidelines are based on research conducted under various conditions and aim to increase soil organic matter content sustainably. The document offers also practical advice to ensure the safe use of EOM, preventing soil contamination and inappropriate management that could generate N leaching and greenhouse gas emissions.

description: Caprara et al. (2009) criticized existing measures of internal political efficacy for not taking into ac-count psychological theories of self-efficacy and for the resulting low construct validity. As an alter-native, they presented a ten-item measure called Perceived Political Self-Efficacy (P-PSE) Scale. Based on social cognitive theory, it adopts a psychological understanding of self-efficacy and cap-tures the phenomenon in a more systematic and complete manner than previous measures of inter-nal efficacy. We translated the P-PSE scale to German and tested it in a German national quota sample, using quotas for age, gender and education (N = 1025). We provided evidence on the scale’s construct validity (by testing its correlations towards related constructs) and on its criterion validity (by regressing political participation propensity on the P-PSE score). The scale explained ΔR2 = 26% of people’s propensity for political participation over and above sociodemographic varia-bles, and ΔR2 = 12% over and above previously existing measures, demonstrating its incremental value. We also tested cross-cultural measurement invariance towards an Italian sample, establishing configural, as well as partial metric and scalar invariance. In addition, we validated a four-item short version of the scale, which proved to be similarly valid as the full version. We argue, that these two measurement instruments provide a more adequate way of assessing internal political efficacy for research in German-speaking countries.
