description: Background: Disadvantage and transgenerational trauma contribute to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians being more likely to experience adverse health consequences from alcohol and other drug use than non-Indigenous peoples. Addressing these health inequities requires local monitoring of alcohol and other drug use. While culturally appropriate methods for measuring drinking patterns among Indigenous Australians have been established, no similar methods are available for measuring other drug use patterns (amount and frequency of consumption). This paper describes a protocol for creating and validating a tablet-based survey for alcohol and other drugs (“The Drug Survey App”). Methods: The Drug Survey App will be co-designed with stakeholders including Indigenous Australian health professionals, addiction specialists, community leaders, and researchers. The App will allow participants to describe their drug use flexibly with an interactive, visual interface. The validity of estimated consumption patterns, and risk assessments will be tested against those made in clinical interviews conducted by Indigenous Australian health professionals. We will then trial the App as a population survey tool by using the App to determine the prevalence of substance use in two Indigenous communities. Discussion: The App could empower Indigenous Australian communities to conduct independent research that informs local prevention and treatment efforts.

description: Collaborative research prioritization (CRP) studies have become increasingly popular during the last decade. By bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, and using a democratic process to create a list of research priorities, these methods purport to identify research topics that will better meet the needs of science users. Here, we review 41 CRP studies in the fields of ecology, biodiversity conservation and environmental science that collectively identify 2031 research priorities. We demonstrate that climate change, ecosystem services and protected areas are common terms found in the research priorities of many CRP studies, and that identified research priorities have become less unique over time. In addition, we show that there is a considerable variation in the size and composition of the groups involved in CRP studies, and that at least one aspect of the identified research priorities (lexical diversity) is related to the size of the CRP group. Although some CRP studies have been highly cited, the evidence that CRP studies have directly motivated research is weak, perhaps because most CRP studies have not directly involved organizations that fund science. We suggest that the most important impact of CRP studies may lie in their ability to connect individuals across sectors and help to build diverse communities of practice around important issues at the science–policy interface.

description: A lattice gas simulation of water between a hydrophobic plate and a hydrophilic plate (a Janus interface) shows large fluctuations in the number of liquid cells in contact with the hydrophobic plate, and a power spectrum similar to the experimental results that Zhang, Zhu, and Granick found [X. Y. Zhang, Y. X. Zhu, and S. Granick, Science 295, 663 (2002)] when measuring viscous response in a Janus system. Study of the spatial Fourier modes of the liquid-vapor interface suggests that interface fluctuations with length scales between approximately 1.5 and 20 nm cause the effects observed in the simulation.

 Material. 1 ovigerous female, 20.2 x 17.8 mm, 200–300 m, 28 Nov 2001, ZRC 2001.970; 1 male, 15.2 x 13.2 mm, 1 ovigerous female, 19.8 x 18.0 mm, 200–300 m, 25–30 Jul 2003, ZRC 2003.675; 2 males, 23.3 x 20.3 mm, 24.5 x 19.7 mm, 200–300 m, Feb 2004, ZRC. All locations in Balicasag Island, Panglao, Bohol, Visayas, Philippines; purchased from local shell fishermen, obtained by tangle nets.
 Remarks. A distinctive feature of Takedromia cristatipes is the continuous, flared rostral margin. The carapace is covered with fine granules and sparse tufts of long plumose setae. This species is not known to carry pieces of camouflage. One ovigerous female (20.2 x 17.8 mm) carried about 100 eggs measuring 0.8 mm in diameter while another (19.8 x 18.0 mm) had about 480 eggs of 0.65 mm diameter. This egg size indicates that T. cristatipes has abbreviated larval development. Previous depth records give a range of 48 to 430 m. McLay (2001a: 845) erroneously reported that a male specimen (ZRC 2000.0755) from Guam had been collected from a shallow depth by a diver. In fact the specimen, which was originally passed to the second author by its collector, came from a crab trap at around 300– 400 m. The known depth range for T. cristatipes is 50– 430m. This species was previously reported from Mindanao Island by McLay (2001a).
 Distribution. T. cristatipes is known from Japan, Guam Island, Philippines and New Caledonia.

description: We report on a study of a one-dimensional linear photonic lattice hosting, simultaneously, fundamental and dipolar modes at every site. We show how, thanks to the interaction between the different orbital modes, this minimal model exhibits rich transport and topological properties. By varying the detuning coefficient we find a regime where bands become flatter (with reduced transport) and, a second regime, where both bands connect on at a gap-closing transition (with enhanced transport). We detect an asymmetric transport due to the asymmetric inter-mode coupling and a linear energy exchange mechanism between modes. Further analysis show that the bands have a topological transition with a non-trivial Zak phase which leads to the appeareance of edge states in a finite system. Finally, for zero detuning, we found a symmetric condition for coupling constants, where the linear spectrum becomes completely flat, with states fully localized in space occupying only two lattice sites.

description: This study investigates the deployment of a medium-scale neutrino detector near Turkey's first nuclear power plant, the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. The aim of this detector is to become a modular testbed for new technologies in the fields of new detection media and innovative photosensors. Such technologies include Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS), Large Area Picosecond Photo-Detectors (LAPPDs), dichroic Winston cones, and large area silicon photomultiplier modules. The detector could be used for instantaneous monitoring of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant via its antineutrino flux. In addition to its physics and technological goals, it would be an invaluable opportunity for the nuclear and particle physics community in Turkey to play a role in the development of next generation of particle detectors in the field of neutrino physics.

description: A single-crystal sample of the frustrated quasi one-dimensional quantum magnet Cs$_{2}$Cu$_{2}$Mo$_{3}$O$_{12}$ is investigated by magnetic and thermodynamic measurements.A combination of specific heat and magnetic torque measurements maps out the entire $H$-$T$ phase diagram for three orientations.Remarkably, a new phase emerges below the saturation field, irrespective of the crystal orientation. It is suggested that the presaturation phase represents spin-nematic order or other multi-magnon condensate. The phase diagrams within the long-range ordered dome are qualitatively different for each geometry. In particular, multiple transitions are identified in the field along the chain direction.

description: Genome-wide association studies were conducted using a globally diverse safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Genebank collection for grain yield (YP), days to flowering (DF), plant height (PH), 500 seed weight (SW), seed oil content (OL), and crude protein content (PR) in four environments (sites) that differed in water availability. Phenotypic variation was observed for all traits. YP exhibited low overall genetic correlations (rGoverall) across sites, while SW and OL had high rGoverall and high pairwise genetic correlations (rGij) across all pairwise sites. In total, 92 marker-trait associations (MTAs) were identified using three methods, single locus genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using a mixed linear model (MLM), the Bayesian multi-locus method (BayesR), and meta-GWAS. MTAs with large effects across all sites were detected for OL, SW, and PR, and MTAs specific for the different water stress sites were identified for all traits. Five MTAs were associated with multiple traits; 4 of 5 MTAs were variously associated with the three traits of SW, OL, and PR. This study provided insights into the phenotypic variability and genetic architecture of important safflower agronomic traits under different environments.

description: Rapid economic growth in some emerging economies in recent decades has significantly increased their global economic importance. If this rapid growth continues and is strongest in resource-poor Asian economies, the growth in global demand for imports of primary products also will continue, to the ongoing benefit of natural resource-rich countries. This paper explores how global production, consumption and trade patterns might change over the next two decades in the course of economic development and structural changes under various scenarios. We employ the GTAP model and version 8.1 of the GTAP database with a base year of 2007, along with supplementary data from a range of sources, to support projections of the global economy to 2030. We first project a baseline assuming that trade-related policies do not change in each region but that factor endowments and real GDP grow at exogenously estimated rates. That baseline is compared with two alternative scenarios: one in which the growth rates of China and India are lower by one-quarter and the other in which this slowdown in emerging economies leads to slower productivity growth in the primary sectors of all countries. Throughout the results, implications are drawn out for natural resource abundant economies, including Australia and New Zealand.
Dynamics of Intense Particle Beam in Axial-Symmetric Magnetic Field

description: Axial-symmetric magnetic field is often used in focusing of particle beams. Most existing ion Low Energy Beam Transport lines are based on solenoid focusing. Modern accelerator projects utilize superconducting solenoids in combination with superconducting accelerating cavities for acceleration of high-intensity particle beams. Present paper discusses conditions for matched beam in axial-symmetric magnetic field. Analysis allows us to minimize power consumption of solenoids and beam emittance growth due to nonlinear space charge, lens aberrations, and maximize acceptance of the channel. Expressions for maximum beam current in focusing structure, beam emittance growth due to spherical aberrations and non-linear space charge forces are derived.

description: In this paper, we examine how the complexities introduced by trends in agricultural productivity and climate change affect the future of global food security. We use a partial equilibrium model of global agriculture incorporating a food security module that links changes in the average dietary energy intake to shifts in the full caloric distribution, allowing us to compute changes in the incidence, headcount and average depth of malnutrition. After validating the model against an historical period, we implement a series of future scenarios to understand the impacts of key exogenous drivers on selected food security outcomes. Our results show improvements in global food security for the period 2006–2050. Despite growing population and increased biofuel demand, baseline income growth, coupled with projected increases in agricultural productivity lead to a 24 per cent rise in global average dietary energy intake. Consequently, the incidence of malnutrition falls by 84 per cent, lifting more than half a billion people out of extreme hunger. However, these results hinge heavily on agricultural productivity growth. Without such growth, there could be a substantial setback on food security improvements. Climate change adds uncertainty to these projections, depending critically on the crop yield impacts of increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.

description: Ambient air pollution is a leading risk factor for the global burden of disease. One possible pathway of particulate matter (PM)-induced toxicity is through iron (Fe), the most abundant metal in the atmosphere. The aim of the review was to consider the complexity of Fe-mediated toxicity following inhalation exposure focusing on the chemical and surface reactivity of Fe as a transition metal and possible pathways of toxicity via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation as well as considerations of size, morphology, and source of PM. A broad term search of 4 databases identified 2189 journal articles and reports examining exposure to Fe via inhalation in the past 10 years. These were sequentially analyzed by title, abstract and full-text to identify 87 articles publishing results on the toxicity of Fe-containing PM by inhalation or instillation to the respiratory system. The remaining 87 papers were examined to summarize research dealing with in vitro, in vivo and epidemiological studies involving PM containing Fe or iron oxide following inhalation or instillation. The major findings from these investigations are summarized and tabulated. Epidemiological studies showed that exposure to Fe oxide is correlated with an increased incidence of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and several respiratory diseases. Iron PM was found to induce inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo and to translocate to remote locations including the brain following inhalation. A potential pathway for the PM-containing Fe-mediated toxicity by inhalation is via the generation of ROS which leads to lipid peroxidation and DNA and protein oxidation. Our recommendations include an expansion of epidemiological, in vivo and in vitro studies, integrating research improvements outlined in this review, such as the method of particle preparation, cell line type, and animal model, to enhance our understanding of the complex biological interactions of these particles.
Planck evidence for a closed Universe and a possible crisis for cosmology

description: The recent Planck Legacy 2018 release has confirmed the presence of an enhanced lensing amplitude in CMB power spectra compared to that predicted in the standard $Λ$CDM model. A closed universe can provide a physical explanation for this effect, with the Planck CMB spectra now preferring a positive curvature at more than $99 \%$ C.L. Here we further investigate the evidence for a closed universe from Planck, showing that positive curvature naturally explains the anomalous lensing amplitude and demonstrating that it also removes a well-known tension within the Planck data set concerning the values of cosmological parameters derived at different angular scales. We show that since the Planck power spectra prefer a closed universe, discordances higher than generally estimated arise for most of the local cosmological observables, including BAO. The assumption of a flat universe could, therefore, mask a cosmological crisis where disparate observed properties of the Universe appear to be mutually inconsistent. Future measurements are needed to clarify whether the observed discordances are due to undetected systematics, or to new physics, or simply are a statistical fluctuation.

description: We predict how a remote observer would see the brightness variations of giant planets similar to Jupiter and Saturn as they orbit their central stars. We model the geometry of Jupiter, Saturn and Saturn's rings for varying orbital and viewing parameters. Scattering properties for the planets and rings at wavelenghts 0.6-0.7 microns follow Pioneer and Voyager observations, namely, planets are forward scattering and rings are backward scattering. Images of the planet with or without rings are simulated and used to calculate the disk-averaged luminosity varying along the orbit, that is, a light curve is generated. We find that the different scattering properties of Jupiter and Saturn (without rings) make a substantial difference in the shape of their light curves. Saturn-size rings increase the apparent luminosity of the planet by a factor of 2-3 for a wide range of geometries. Rings produce asymmetric light curves that are distinct from the light curve of the planet without rings. If radial velocity data are available for the planet, the effect of the ring on the light curve can be distinguished from effects due to orbital eccentricity. Non-ringed planets on eccentric orbits produce light curves with maxima shifted relative to the position of the maximum planet's phase. Given radial velocity data, the amount of the shift restricts the planet's unknown orbital inclination and therefore its mass. Combination of radial velocity data and a light curve for a non-ringed planet on an eccentric orbit can also be used to constrain the surface scattering properties of the planet. To summarize our results for the detectability of exoplanets in reflected light, we present a chart of light curve amplitudes of non-ringed planets for different eccentricities, inclinations, and the viewing azimuthal angles of the observer.

description: Η έννοια της συγχωρήσεως σήμερα συχνά εμφανίζεται ως άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με τη χριστιανική διδασκαλία. Η συγχώρεση, ωστόσο, υπήρξε προϊόν ανασημασιοδότησης άλλων εννοιών που αποτυπώθηκαν στην εξέλιξη του ελληνορωμαϊκού πολιτισμού. Στο επίκεντρο της παρούσας εργασίας τίθεται η «ρωμαϊκή επιείκεια» (clementia), για να αναδειχθεί η πολιτική διάσταση και η νοηματοδότησή της στα χρόνια της ύστερης Res Publica και του Πριγκιπάτου, πρώτον μέσω της πολιτικής εκμετάλλευσής της από τον Ιούλιο Καίσαρα, και δεύτερον μέσω της απόπειρας ανασημασιοδότησής της από τον Σενέκα την εποχή του Νέρωνα. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, βασικό σημείο αναφοράς αποτελεί το έργο De Clementia όπου, είτε από τη σκοπιά του πανηγυρικού λόγου προς τον αυτοκράτορα είτε από αυτήν της φιλοσοφικής πραγματείας, αναδύεται η ιδιαίτερη έννοια της επιείκειας του ανώτερου που κατέχει την εξουσία να κυβερνά και να απονέμει δικαιοσύνη προς τον κατώτερο. Τέλος, επιχειρείται μια σύντομη αναφορά στην κρίσιμη συμβολή των Ελλήνων και Λατίνων Πατέρων της Εκκλησίας στην ουσιαστική διεύρυνση της προγενέστερης αρχαίας ελληνικής και ρωμαϊκής ιδεολογίας περί συγχωρήσεως.
description: In our days forgiveness is a term, more or less, connected with Christianity. However, its meaning was developed through the evolution of similar or relevant terms in Greek and Roman civilization. The present thesis focuses on the clemency (clementia) Roman thought, literature and philosophy, and its political connotations that emerged during the period of the Late Roman Republic and the Principate. Julius Ceasar was the first to adopt clementia as an attitude towards his opponents which was meant to acquire further political dimensions in the eyes of his successors in the quest of absolute power in Rome. About one century later, the philosopher and dramatist Seneca the Younger attempted to modify the meaning of the term as a last ditch attempt to control the outbursts of Nero soon after his rise to the throne. The sense of leniency on the part of a superior towards an inferior is clearly depicted in Seneca’s De Clementia, partly a panegyric and a philosophical work. This thesis concludes with a short overview of clementia as forgiveness in the Greek and Latin works of early Church Fathers, who brought to the forefront the Christian notion of forgiveness.

description: Background: RNA sequencing is currently the method of choice for genome-wide profiling of gene expression. A popular approach to quantify expression levels of genes from RNA-seq data is to map reads to a reference genome and then count mapped reads to each gene. Gene annotation data, which include chromosomal coordinates of exons for tens of thousands of genes, are required for this quantification process. There are several major sources of gene annotations that can be used for quantification, such as Ensembl and RefSeq databases. However, there is very little understanding of the effect that the choice of annotation has on the accuracy of gene expression quantification in an RNA-seq analysis. Results: In this paper, we present results from our comparison of Ensembl and RefSeq human annotations on their impact on gene expression quantification using a benchmark RNA-seq dataset generated by the SEQC consortium. We show that the use of RefSeq gene annotation models led to better quantification accuracy, based on the correlation with ground truths including expression data from >800 real-time PCR validated genes, known titration ratios of gene expression and microarray expression data. We also found that the recent expansion of the RefSeq annotation has led to a decrease in its annotation accuracy. Finally, we demonstrated that the RNA-seq quantification differences observed between different annotations were not affected by the use of different normalization methods. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study found that the use of the conservative RefSeq gene annotation yields better RNA-seq quantification results than the more comprehensive Ensembl annotation. We also found that, surprisingly, the recent expansion of the RefSeq database, which was primarily driven by the incorporation of sequencing data into the gene annotation process, resulted in a reduction in the accuracy of RNA-seq quantification.

description: Το παρόν πόνημα είναι αποτέλεσμα μιας εκ βαθέων περιέργειας για τα πλεονεκτήματα που παρέχονται στα τραπεζικά ιδρύματα προκειμένου να ικανοποιούν τις αξιώσεις τους έναντι των δανειστών τους, ένεκα και της ιδιαίτερα σημαντικής θέσης που κατέχουν στην οικονομική ζωή της χώρας. Τέτοια πλεονεκτήματα παρέχει στις ανώνυμες εταιρείες και στις Τράπεζες το σε πολλούς άγνωστο ειδικό νομοθετικό διάταγμα της 17.7/13.8.1923, προκειμένου να μπορέσουν μέσω των απλουστευμένων διατυπώσεών του να προχωρήσουν σε αναγκαστική εκτέλεση. Καίρια σημεία, που αναλύονται, αποτελούν το πεδίο εφαρμογής του νομοθετικού διατάγματος, τα προαπαιτούμενα της ειδικής αυτής εκτελεστικής διαδικασίας καθώς και ο εξέχων ρόλος του συμβολαιογράφου ως υπαλλήλου του πλειστηριασμού στο πλαίσιο του διατάγματος. Η πρωτοπορία του διατάγματος για την εποχή του αναδεικνύεται από το γεγονός ότι θεσπίζει για πρώτη φορά ένα σύστημα πολλαπλών κατασχέσεων, σχεδόν 90 χρόνια πριν αυτό επικρατήσει και στην γενική εκτελεστική διαδικασία υπό τις πρόσφατες τροποποιήσεις του ν.4335/2015. Τέλος, στην διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρείται μία ανάγνωση του ν.δ. 17.7/13.8.1923 υπό το φως των πρόσφατων τροποποιήσεων που επέφερε ο ν.4335/2015 και η προσπάθεια ερμηνείας και συστηματικής εναρμόνισης της ειδικής εκτελεστικής διαδικασίας με την αναγκαστική εκτέλεση του ΚΠολΔ.
description: The present thesis is a result of a deep interest about the advantages offered to Bank Institutions so that they can satisfy their claims against their creditors, due to the vital role of the Banks in the economic life of the country. Such advantages are given to public limited companies and banks according to the - non widely known – special legislative decree 17.7/13.8.1923 so that they can begin, through its simplified provisions, their execution. Important elaborated parts are the application field of the legislative decree, the required conditions of this special enforcement procedure and the crucial role of the notary public. The novelty of this procedure relies upon the fact that it enacts, for the first time, the system of multiple seizures, almost 90 years before the 4335/2015 Law. Lastly, in the Thesis is given an analysis of the legislative decree 17.7/13.8.1923 from the point of view of the recent changes, which the 4335/2015 Law implemented to the general enforcement procedure, but also an exegesis and an attunement of the special enforcement to the enforcement of the Civil Procedure Law.

description: The volume-based Special Safeguard Mechanism (Q-SSM) was proposed as essential for small, poor farmers and became the proximate cause of the collapse of the Doha Agenda negotiations in 2008. But is it helpful for these farmers, given that it is likely to be applied when farm output is depressed and many poor farmers in developing countries need to buy food? Stochastic simulations for 31 countries suggest that use of this safeguard in line with the proposed WTO rules would raise the world poverty headcount by an average of 24 million. The adverse poverty impact of the duty is larger when the quantity safeguard is triggered than it would be in other years, because lower farm output reduces the benefits to poor farm households from higher prices.

description: Binary systems composed of a recycled millisecond pulsar and a stellar companion in close orbit could be excellent sites to diagnose pulsar winds. In such systems, the pulsar outflow irradiates and heats up the companion atmosphere, which can lead to the observation of strong day/night modulations in temperature. We demonstrate with particle shower simulations that the particle energy of the wind affects the heating depth in the atmosphere: the wind heat can be deposited above or below the photosphere, leading to different signatures in the observed spectra. We apply our method to four specific systems: We find that systems with cool night side companions showing strong temperature variations can give interesting lower limits on the particle energy in the winds. In particular, if the companion night side of PSR B1957+20 were to be suddenly irradiated, deep heating would only take place if particles with energy > 100 TeV were present. Observational evidence of deep heating in this system thus suggests that i) such particles exist in the pulsar wind and/or ii) binary evolution non-trivially takes the companion to the observed temperature asymmetry. Besides, the observed temperature difference can be maintained only with particle energies of the order of 100 MeV.

description: When developing Power Converter Systems (PCS), migrating from simulation to prototype is a key challenge. Simulation software often relies on simplified models that fail to capture real-world complexities, leading to discrepancies in control algorithm performance when implemented on physical hardware. To address this, integrating Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) simulations in early design stages and transitioning to Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) within the same platform ensures a reliable and efficient approach for designing and testing PCS. This white paper provides a functional overview of the IREC's application of this workflow within the H2020 Hybris Project EU. In this project, a HIL404 unit by TyphoonHIL serves as a real-time simulator in early stages of developement ans as a controller for the PCS in later prototype implementation. The feasibility of this streamlined approach is proved by means of simulation and experimental results.
