description: Background: The study was grounded in the recent developments of implementing the United Nations Convention on the Right of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in schools in Uganda, leading to a renewed interest in the questionings about inclusive education. Objectives: The inclusive approach was evaluated in terms of: (1) how public or private schools in Uganda understand inclusive education; (2) how schools implement inclusive education under the influence of the UN Convention; and (3) what determines the course of action and school routine of private and state schools. Methods: This exploratory qualitative research included interviews with six schools purposively selected in Mukono, Wakiso and Kampala districts of Central Uganda. The selected schools comprised three private and three state schools (i.e. representing primary and secondary schools and a vocational training institute). Results: The research demonstrated that ‘inclusive education practice’ that was upheld by all the schools, was ironically stained with exclusion, for example, by non-admission of students with visual and hearing impairment, inaccessible physical environment, inadequate funding and separation of students according to abilities. However, whilst all schools followed the regular curriculum, some schools developed their own ways of teaching learners with diverse learning needs. Conclusion: Some schools in Uganda have developed meaningful approaches of including students with disabilities but there are still many challenges for many. Enforcing Uganda’s disability policies adapted from the CRPDs could enable learners with disabilities to enjoy their legal rights. Contribution: Since the intention of inclusion of students with disabilities stands in contrast to the reality of practice found in many schools, there seems to be a need to carry out regular assessments and measures of support for a sustainable inclusive school development.

description: Clozapine-induced myocarditis in children (age ≤18 yo) was studied from a PubMed search (18 July 2022) (9 cases) and from the World Health Organization’s pharmacovigilance database, called Vigibase, of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports (72 non-duplicated cases). VigiBase uses a logarithmic measure of disproportionality called the information component (IC). A logistic regression model of presence/absence (40/32) of seriousness in VigiBase was developed. VigiBase provided a significant myocarditis IC = 4.2 with an IC025 = 3.8; only 4 clozapine-induced myocarditis cases were expected, while 72 were observed. The PubMed search identified 9 cases, while VigiBase identified 72 cases (of which 67 did not overlap with published cases). These 76 combined cases included 35 doubtful (most with missing information on the day of diagnosis), 19 possible and 22 probable, according to the ADR scale. After adjusting for confounders, quetiapine increased the risk of seriousness with an odds ratio (OR) of 17.6 (95% confidence interval CI, 1.56 to 198.6), while Australian origin decreased it with an OR = 0.13 (CI, 0.04 to 0.47). These 41 cases of at least possible clozapine-induced myocarditis indicated that this ADR can definitively occur in children, particularly in the first 30 days of up-titration. Children’s and adult cases appeared similar.

description: We report on the first micro-scale observation of the velocity field imposed by a non-uniform heat content along the solid/liquid boundary. We determine both radial and vertical velocity components of this thermo-osmotic flow field by tracking single tracer nanoparticles. The measured flow profiles are compared to an approximate analytical theory and to numerical calculations. From the measured slip velocity we deduce the thermo-osmotic coefficient for both bare glass and Pluronic F-127 covered surfaces. The value for Pluronic F-127 agrees well with Soret data for polyethylene glycol, whereas that for glass differs from literature values and indicates the complex boundary layer thermodynamics of glass-water interfaces.

description: A review of the current challenges for the understanding of the physics of extragalactic radio jets from supermassive black holes is presented. Also, a prospect is given about how both very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) and polarimetric observations help us to understand their physics and the ones of their magnetic fields. This paper focuses on the impact that previous ultra-high resolution polarimetric surveys have had on our current knowledge on radio loud AGN. It first concentrates on the expectations about the improvement that the Square Kilometer Array, used as a super-sensitive VLBI station on existing and future very long baseline interferometric arrays, will provide in terms of access to new source classes, and in terms of a deeper portion of the Universe than currently accessible. A series of key new radio loud AGN science fields, to be opened by the Square Kilometer Array, are outlined together with a collection of preliminary ideas about possible programs of interest to deep in such fields. The complementary aspects of future super-sensitive VLBI observations as compared to deep continuum surveys with the Square Kilometer Array and its precursors are also outlined here.

description: A minimal Lagragian two-phase model to study turbulent bedload transport focusing on the granular phase is presented, and validated with experiments. The model intends to describe bedload transport of massive particles in fully rough flows at relatively low Shields numbers, for which no suspension occurs. A discrete element method for the granular phase is coupled with a one dimensional volume-averaged two-phase momentum equation for the fluid phase. The coupling between the discrete granular phase and the continuous fluid phase is discussed, and a consistent averaging formulation adapted to bedload transport is introduced. An original simple discrete random walk model is proposed to account for the fluid velocity fluctuations. The model is compared with experiments considering both classical sediment transport rate as a function of the Shields number, and depth profiles of solid velocity, volume fraction, and transport rate density, from existing bedload transport experiments in inclined flume. The results successfully reproduce the classical 3/2 power law, and more importantly describe well the depth profiles of the granular phase, showing that the model is able to reproduce the particle scale mechanisms. From a sensitivity analysis, it is shown that the fluctuation model allows to reproduce a realistic critical Shields number, and that the influence of the granular parameters on the macroscopic results are weak. Nevertheless, the analysis of the corresponding depth profiles reveals an evolution of the depth structure of the granular phase with varying restitution and friction coefficients, which denotes the non-trivial underlying physical mechanisms.

description: We describe the X-ray emission as observed with Suzaku from five symbiotic stars that we selected for deep Suzaku observations after their initial detection with ROSAT, ASCA and Swift. We find that the X-ray spectra of all five sources can be adequately fit with absorbed, optically thin thermal plasma models, with either single- or multi-temperature plasmas. These models are compatible with the X-ray emission originating in the boundary layer between an accretion disk and a white dwarf. The high plasma temperatures of kT$~>3$ keV for all five targets were greater than expected for colliding winds. Based on these high temperatures, as well as previous measurements of UV variability and UV luminosity, and the large amplitude of X-ray flickering in 4 Dra, we conclude that all five sources are accretion-powered through predominantly optically thick boundary layers. Our X-ray data allow us to observe a small, optically thin portion of the emission from these boundary layers. Given the time between previous observations and these observations, we find that the intrinsic X-ray flux and the intervening absorbing column can vary by factors of three or more on a time scale of years. However, the location of the absorber and the relationship between changes in accretion rate and absorption are still elusive.

description: We investigate the 1.4 GHz radio properties of 92 nearby (z<0.05) ultra hard X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) sample. Through the ultra hard X-ray selection we minimise the biases against obscured or Compton-thick AGN as well as confusion with emission derived from star formation that typically affect AGN samples selected from the UV, optical and infrared wavelengths. We find that all the objects in our sample of nearby, ultra-hard X-ray selected AGN are radio quiet; 83\% of the objects are classed as high-excitation galaxies (HEGs) and 17\% as low-excitation galaxies (LEGs). While these low-z BAT sources follow the radio--far-infrared correlation in a similar fashion to star forming galaxies, our analysis finds that there is still significant AGN contribution in the observed radio emission from these radio quiet AGN. In fact, the majority of our BAT sample occupy the same X-ray--radio fundamental plane as have been observed in other samples, which include radio loud AGN --- evidence that the observed radio emission (albeit weak) is connected to the AGN accretion mechanism, rather than star formation.

description: The extensive collection and processing of personal information in big data analytics has given rise to serious privacy concerns, related to wide scale electronic surveillance, profiling, and disclosure of private data. To reap the benefits of analytics without invading the individuals' private sphere, it is essential to draw the limits of big data processing and integrate data protection safeguards in the analytics value chain. ENISA, with the current report, supports this approach and the position that the challenges of technology (for big data) should be addressed by the opportunities of technology (for privacy). We first explain the need to shift from "big data versus privacy" to "big data with privacy". In this respect, the concept of privacy by design is key to identify the privacy requirements early in the big data analytics value chain and in subsequently implementing the necessary technical and organizational measures. After an analysis of the proposed privacy by design strategies in the different phases of the big data value chain, we review privacy enhancing technologies of special interest for the current and future big data landscape. In particular, we discuss anonymization, the "traditional" analytics technique, the emerging area of encrypted search and privacy preserving computations, granular access control mechanisms, policy enforcement and accountability, as well as data provenance issues. Moreover, new transparency and access tools in big data are explored, together with techniques for user empowerment and control. Achieving "big data with privacy" is no easy task and a lot of research and implementation is still needed. Yet, it remains a possible task, as long as all the involved stakeholders take the necessary steps to integrate privacy and data protection safeguards in the heart of big data, by design and by default.

Optimal Composition of Modal Currents For Minimal Quality Factor Q

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This work describes a powerful, yet simple, procedure how to acquire a current approaching the lower bound of quality factor Q. This optimal current can be determined for an arbitrarily shaped electrically small radiator made of a perfect conductor. Quality factor Q is evaluated by Vandenbosch's relations yielding stored electromagnetic energy as a function of the source current density. All calculations are based on a matrix representation of the integro-differential operators. This approach simplifies the entire development and results in a straightforward numerical evaluation. The optimal current is represented in a basis of modal currents suitable for solving the optimization problem so that the minimum is approached by either one mode tuned to the resonance, or, by two properly combined modes. An overview of which modes should be selected and how they should be combined is provided and results concerning rectangular plate, spherical shell and fractal shapes of varying geometrical complexity are presented. The reduction of quality factor Q and the G/Q ratio are studied and, thanks to the modal decomposition, the physical interpretation of the results is discussed in conjunction with the limitations of the proposed procedure.

Population balances in case of crossing characteristic curves: Application to T-cells immune response

description: The progression of a cell population where each individual is characterized by the value of an internal variable varying with time (e.g. size, weight, and protein concentration) is typically modeled by a Population Balance Equation, a first order linear hyperbolic partial differential equation. The characteristics described by internal variables usually vary monotonically with the passage of time. A particular difficulty appears when the characteristic curves exhibit different slopes from each other and therefore cross each other at certain times. In particular such crossing phenomenon occurs during T-cells immune response when the concentrations of protein expressions depend upon each other and also when some global protein (e.g. Interleukin signals) is also involved which is shared by all T-cells. At these crossing points, the linear advection equation is not possible by using the classical way of hyperbolic conservation laws. Therefore, a new Transport Method is introduced in this article which allowed us to find the population density function for such processes. The newly developed Transport method (TM) is shown to work in the case of crossing and to provide a smooth solution at the crossing points in contrast to the classical PDF techniques.

description: A puzzling aspect of the AdS/CFT correspondence is that a single bulk operator can be mapped to multiple different boundary operators, or precursors. By improving upon a recent model of Mintun, Polchinski, and Rosenhaus, we demonstrate explicitly how this ambiguity arises in a simple model of the field theory. In particular, we show how gauge invariance in the boundary theory manifests as a freedom in the smearing function used in the bulk-boundary mapping, and explicitly show how this freedom can be used to localize the precursor in different spatial regions. We also show how the ambiguity can be understood in terms of quantum error correction, by appealing to the entanglement present in the CFT. The concordance of these two approaches suggests that gauge invariance and entanglement in the boundary field theory are intimately connected to the reconstruction of local operators in the dual spacetime.

description: We present a theory for the acoustic force density acting on inhomogeneous fluids in acoustic fields on time scales that are slow compared to the acoustic oscillation period. The acoustic force density depends on gradients in the density and compressibility of the fluid. For microfluidic systems, the theory predicts a relocation of the inhomogeneities into stable field-dependent configurations, which are qualitatively different from the horizontally layered configurations due to gravity. Experimental validation is obtained by confocal imaging of aqueous solutions in a glass-silicon microchip.

description: Stellar radial velocities play a fundamental role in the discovery of extrasolar planets and the measurement of their physical parameters as well as in the study of stellar physical properties. We investigate the impact of the solar activity on the radial velocity of the Sun using the HARPS spectrograph to obtain measurements that can be directly compared with those acquired in the extrasolar planet search programs. We use the Moon, the Galilean satellites, and several asteroids as reflectors to measure the radial velocity of the Sun as a star and correlate it with disc-integrated chromospheric and magnetic indexes of solar activity that are similar to stellar activity indexes. We discuss in detail the systematic effects that affect our measurements and the methods to account for them. We find that the radial velocity of the Sun as a star is positively correlated with the level of its chromospheric activity at about 95 percent significance level. The amplitude of the long-term variation measured in the 2006-2014 period is 4.98 \pm 1.44 m/s, in good agreement with model predictions. The standard deviation of the residuals obtained by subtracting a linear best fit is 2.82 m/s and is due to the rotation of the reflecting bodies and the intrinsic variability of the Sun on timescales shorter than the activity cycle. A correlation with a lower significance is detected between the radial velocity and the mean absolute value of the line-of-sight photospheric magnetic field flux density. Our results confirm similar correlations found in other late-type main-sequence stars and provide support to the predictions of radial velocity variations induced by stellar activity based on current models.

description: We analyze the properties of a sample of X-shaped radio-sources (XRSs). These objects show, in addition to the main lobes, a pair of wings producing their peculiar radio morphology. We obtain our sample by selecting from the initial list of Cheung (2007, AJ, 133, 2097) the 53 galaxies with the better defined wings and with available SDSS images. We identified the host galaxies and measured their optical position angle, obtaining a positive result in 22 cases. The orientation of the secondary radio structures shows a strong connection with the optical axis, with all (but one) wing forming a angle larger than 40 degrees with the host major axis. The probability that this is compatible with a uniform distribution is P = 0.9 10E-4. Spectra are available from the SDSS for 28 XRSs. We modeled them to extract information on their emission lines and stellar population properties. The sample is formed by approximately the same number of high and low excitation galaxies (HEG and LEG); this classification is essential for a proper comparison with non-winged radio-galaxies. XRSs follow the same relations between radio and line luminosity defined by radio-galaxies in the 3C sample. While in HEGs a young stellar population is often present, this is not detected in the 13 LEGs, again in agreement with the properties of non XRSs. The lack of young stars in LEGs support the idea that they did not experiences a recent gas rich merger. The connection between the optical axis and the wings orientation, as well as the stellar population and emission lines properties, provide further support for an hydro-dynamic origin of the radio-wings (for example associated with the expansion of the radio cocoon in an asymmetric external medium) rather than with a change of orientation of the jet axis.

description: Ab-initio density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) has been employed to study thermodynamical properties of pure and doped graphene sheet and the results have been compared with available theoretical and experimental data. The concentration of B and N has been varied upto 50% of the carbon atoms in graphene. Phonon frequencies are essential ingredients entering into such a calculation, which have been computed by using the dynamical matrix provided by VASP software in combination with phonopy code in the harmonic approximation. This easily provides us the Helmholtz free energy and leads us to numerical estimates of various thermodynamical properties. The results for specific heat are in good agreement with various theoretical and experimental studies obtained earlier for pure graphene. Interesting new results have been reported for B and N substituted structure. It has been observed that specific heat decreases with the increase in concentration of doping while the entropy increases. Further, large doping concentrations result in unstable sheets resulting in imaginary frequencies in the transverse directions. The instability needs to be compensated by external strains and that has been assumed while carrying out Brilluoin summations. These results will be useful for calculation of thermal conductivity of doped graphene and thus feasibility of using these for device applications. Our preliminary results for thermal expansion have indicated negative thermal expansion behavior of pure graphene at low temperatures which needs investigation on doped graphene as well.

description: Rapid Blue- and Red-shifted Excursions (RBEs and RREs) are likely to be the on-disk counterparts of Type II spicules. Recently, heating signatures from RBEs/RREs have been detected in IRIS slit-jaw images dominated by transition-region lines around network patches. Additionally, signatures of Type II spicules have been observed in AIA diagnostics. The full-disk, ever-present nature of the AIA diagnostics should provide us with sufficient statistics to directly determine how important RBEs and RREs are to the heating of the transition region and corona. We find, with high statistical significance, that at least 11% of the low-coronal brightenings detected in a quiet-Sun region in 304, can be attributed to either RBEs or RREs as observed in Hα, and a 6% match of 171 detected events to RBEs or RREs with very similar statistics for both types of Hα features. We took a statistical approach that allows for noisy detections in the coronal channels and provides us with a lower, but statistical significant, bound. Further, we consider matches based on overlapping features in both time and space, and find strong visual indications of further correspondence between coronal events and co-evolving but non-overlapping, RBEs and RREs.

Subjects: subject: Dominican Republic

description:  Although Dominican and Haitian digital archives still need to reckon with the ills of archival institutionalization, they have challenged what we continue to assume about both Dominicans and Haitians. How might innovative digital archiving practices create spaces for Dominican and Haitian histories beyond popular narratives of political, economic and social failure? How are these practices archived - or digitally archived? Importantly, how do Dominican and Haitian refusals function politically in very similar ways and how do counter-historical digital projects hold space for these refusals? I analyze the practices of two digital projects, Micro-syllabus: History from Below in the Dominican Republic by Amaury Rodríguez and H-Haiti, edited by Marlene L. Daut and Julia Gaffield. These projects do not relocate dominant narratives of Dominicans and Haitians, nor do they exclusively function to collect alternative or “counter” interpretations of Dominican and Haitian histories. Instead, I propose that they develop and rehearse an anti-colonial analytic for the complete destabilization of what we know or expect Dominican and Haitian identities to be.

description: Cold physical plasma has been suggested as a powerful new tool in oncology. However, some cancer cells such as THP-1 leukaemia cells have been shown to be resistant towards plasma-induced cell death, thereby serving as a good model for optimizing plasmas in order to foster pro-apoptotic anticancer effects. A helium/oxygen radio frequency driven atmospheric plasma profoundly induced apoptosis in THP-1 cells whereas helium, humidified helium, and humidified helium/oxygen plasmas were inefficient. Hydrogen peroxide – previously shown as central plasma-derived agent – did not participate in the killing reaction but our results suggest hypochlorous acid to be responsible for the effect observed. Proteomic analysis of THP-1 cells exposed to He/O2 plasma emphasized a prominent growth retardation, cell stress, apoptosis, and a pro-immunogenic profile. Altogether, a plasma setting that inactivates previously unresponsive leukaemia cells is presented. Crucial reactive species in the plasma and liquid environment were identified and discussed, deciphering the complexity of plasma from the gas phase into the liquid down to the cellular response mechanism. These results may help tailoring plasmas for clinical applications such as oxidation-insensitive types of cancer.

description: Background There has been little research into the psychosocial needs of older people living with bipolar disorder (BD). There is evidence to suggest that psychological treatments developed for working aged adults are effective. These treatments may not be acceptable or effective for an older population due to differences in presentation in later life. Aims The overarching aim of the thesis was to develop a recovery focused therapy (RfT) for older people with BD. The main aims were to: improve our understanding of how BD presents in older adults, identify whether any potential adaptations were needed to an existing therapy (RfT) to meet the needs of an older adult population and to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of RfT for older adults (RfT-OA) with BD. Methods Study one was a systematic review of psychosocial functioning and quality of life in older people with BD. Study two was a qualitative study, using focus group methodology, to increase our understanding of BD in later life and inform the development of RfT-OA. Study three was a mixed methods study to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of RfT-OA. Results The results from study one indicate that older adults demonstrate a wide range of functioning. Study two found that older adults with BD reported changes in their symptomatology, physical health and cognition. They proposed a number of specific adaptions for delivering RfT-OA including techniques to enhance memory and learning and recommendations for the therapist including: nurturing pre-existing strengths and work focused on building assertiveness and confidence. The findings from study three largely support the feasibility and acceptability of RfT-OA. Clinical assessment measures provided evidence of a signal for effectiveness on a range of outcomes including: mood symptoms, time-to-relapse and functioning. Conclusions The findings suggest that RfT-OA is feasible, acceptable and has the potential to improve a range of outcomes for older adults with BD.

title: ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy-Linked Chemometrics
title: A Novel Approach to the Analysis and Control of the Invasive Species Japanese Knotweed
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Holden, Claire
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica), an invasive plant species, causes negative environmental and socio-economic impacts. A female clone in the United Kingdom, its extensive rhizome system enables rapid vegetative spread. Plasticity permits this species to occupy a broad geographic range and survive harsh abiotic conditions. It is notoriously difficult to control with traditional management strategies, which include repetitive herbicide application and costly carbon-intensive rhizome excavation. This problem is complicated by crossbreeding with the closely related species, Giant knotweed (Reynoutria sachalinensis), to give the more vigorous hybrid, Bohemian knotweed (Fallopia x Bohemica) which produces viable seed. These species, hybrids, and backcrosses form a morphologically similar complex known as Japanese knotweed ‘sensu lato’ and are often misidentified. The research herein explores the opportunities offered by advances in the application of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy-linked chemometrics within plant sciences, for the identification and control of knotweed, to enhance our understanding of knotweed biology, and the potential of this technique. ATR-FTIR spectral profiles of Japanese knotweed leaf material and xylem sap samples, which include important biological absorptions due to lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids, were used to: identify plants from different growing regions highlighting the plasticity of this clonal species; differentiate between related species and hybrids; and predict key physiological characteristics such as hormone concentrations and root water potential. Technical advances were made for the application of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy to plant science, including definition of the environmental factors that exert the most significant influence on spectral profiles, evaluation of sample preparation techniques, and identification of key wavenumbers for prediction of hormone concentrations and abiotic stress. The presented results cement the position of concatenated mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning as a powerful approach for the study of plant biology, extending its reach beyond the field of crop science to demonstrate a potential for the discrimination between and control of invasive plant species.

description: We prove that for any positive integers $n$ and $d$ there exists a collection consisting of $f=d\log n+O(1)$ subsets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_f$ of $[n]$ such that for any two distinct subsets $X$ and $Y$ of $[n]$ whose size is at most $d$ there is an index $i\in [f]$ for which $| A_i\cap X|$ and $|A_i\cap Y|$ have different parity. Here we think of $d$ as fixed whereas $n$ is thought of as tending to infinity, and the base of the logarithm is $2$. Translated into the language of combinatorial search theory, this tells us that \[ d \log n+O(1) \] queries suffice to identify up to $d$ marked items from a totality of $n$ items if the answers one gets are just whether an even or an odd number of marked elements has been queried, even if the search is performed non-adaptively. Since the entropy method easily yields a matching lower bound for the adaptive version of this problem, our result is asymptotically best possible. This answers a question posed by Dániel Gerbner and Balázs Patkós in Gyula O.H. Katona's Search Theory Seminar at the Rényi institute.
