description: The TURNkey concept model is being developed over three cycles of participatory action research (PAR). This report describes the process and findings of the 2nd PAR cycle in the TURNkey project. In light of these findings, the report reviews the end-user use cases that were developed for TURNkey during the 1st PAR cycle (which have been reported in D2.6) and revises them in light of the discussions with end-users and TURNkey scientists, engineers and software developers that occurred during the 2nd PAR cycle. The report lays the foundation for the 3rd and final round of PAR that will be conducted for TURNkey. It will also inform TURNkey deliverable D7.7, which will provide end-users with an (exemplar) model Business Continuity and Resilience Plan (BCRP) and Disaster Management Plan (DMP) framework for integrating the TURNkey FWCR platform into their disaster management planning process. This report provides the following: Review of the key lessons from the 1st PAR Cycle Online workshops with potential end-users using a virtual demonstrator (process and findings) SWOT analysis with TURNkey scientists and engineers (process and findings) TURNkey application workshop around a hypothetical hospital scenario (process and findings) Consortium-wide reflection on findings from the 2nd PAR Cycle (process and findings) Revised end-user use cases Revised table of TURNkey features, what end-users want vs what is possible and in scope A revised version of the FWCR concept model A conclusion and next steps
description: This report is intended as an internal working report for use by members of the TURNkey project in the development of the TURNkey FWCR platform. The report should be considered as a work in progress which will be amended and modified throughout the TURNkey project to reflect emerging issues identified through the 3rd PAR cycle.

description: CeO2 thin films were grown on NdGaO3 tilted-axes substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) showing three-dimensional graphoepitaxial (3DGE) growth in the whole studied range of substrate tilt angles γ = 5-27º. Deviations from the tangent dependence can be divided into a systematic negative part and local deviations near certain film tilt angles. The systematic deviation may be explained as the effect of completely-strained coherent growth of the bottom layers of CeO2 film. Minimization of the surface energy near the small-index crystallographic planes (012) and (013) may account for the local deviations from the calculated dependence. The width of the rocking curve and the lattice constant variation for the 3DGE CeO2 films increase almost linearly with the substrate tilt angle until 19º and decrease for higher γ. At different deposition rates the 3DGE CeO2 film exhibits three possible structures: (i) relaxed completely oxygenated films at very low deposition rate, (ii) completely strained well-oxygenated films at moderate deposition rates, and (iii) oxygen-deficient films consisting of two layers at high deposition rates. The deviations of orientation of the film from the 3DGE formula are set by the lattice constant c in the direction normal to the (110) SICP of the substrate, which, in turn, depends on oxygen deficiency and the level of strain, introduced into the film by lattice mismatch with the substrate.

description: We theoretically demonstrate a high-sensitivity, graphene-plasmon based refractive index sensor working in the mid-infrared at room temperature. The bulk figure of merit of our sensor reaches values above $10$, but the key aspect of our proposed plasmonic sensor is its surface sensitivity which we examine in detail. We have used realistic values regarding doping level and electron relaxation time, which is the limiting factor for the sensor performance. Our results show quantitatively the high performance of graphene-plasmon based refractive index sensors working in the mid-infrared.

Validity of contextual formulas (extended version)

description: Many well-known logical identities are naturally written as equivalences between contextual formulas. A simple example is the Boole-Shannon expansion $c[p] \equiv (p \wedge c[\mathrm{true}] ) \vee (\neg\, p \wedge c[\mathrm{false}] )$, where $c$ denotes an arbitrary formula with possibly multiple occurrences of a "hole", called a context, and $c[φ]$ denotes the result of "filling" all holes of $c$ with the formula $φ$. Another example is the unfolding rule $μX. c[X] \equiv c[μX. c[X]]$ of the modal $μ$-calculus.
 We consider the modal $μ$-calculus as overarching temporal logic and, as usual, reduce the problem whether $φ_1 \equiv φ_2$ holds for contextual formulas $φ_1, φ_2$ to the problem whether $φ_1 \leftrightarrow φ_2$ is valid . We show that the problem whether a contextual formula of the $μ$-calculus is valid for all contexts can be reduced to validity of ordinary formulas. Our first result constructs a canonical context such that a formula is valid for all contexts if{}f it is valid for this particular one. However, the ordinary formula is exponential in the nesting-depth of the context variables. In a second result we solve this problem, thus proving that validity of contextual formulas is EXP-complete, as for ordinary equivalences. We also prove that both results hold for CTL and LTL as well. We conclude the paper with some experimental results. In particular, we use our implementation to automatically prove the correctness of a set of six contextual equivalences of LTL recently introduced by Esparza et al. for the normalization of LTL formulas. While Esparza et al. need several pages of manual proof, our tool only needs milliseconds to do the job and to compute counterexamples for incorrect variants of the equivalences.

Revised use-cases for the FWCR Platform version Beta (PAR Cycle 1)

description: Action research (AR) is a form of research whereby researchers use the results of their research to act upon and change the situation being studied - and/or to inform the development of a solution/product. The action intervention is part of the research design: research that is limited to observation and the generation of theory is not AR. Participatory action research (PAR) is a form of AR 1 whereby the people or organisations who are the focus of the research (and for whom a solution/product is being developed) take an active part in the research process. They help researchers interpret and understand the situation, help shape the findings/solution and ultimately use the latter to inform their actions and decision-making. Participatory action research is used in TURNkey as the primary research vehicle to link the needs of the end-users of the TURNkey system with those responsible for the design of the TURNkey system. In essence, PAR seeks to understand how the TURNkey system would be used in practical situations (from the perspective of the citizen, business organisations, critical infrastructure provider, and emergency responders) to improve resilience to an earthquake and to leverage this information to inform the TURNkey system design in a way that seeks to identify and address potential barriers to its use. Given this, PAR involves both potential end-users of a system as well as those responsible for its design and development. The original TURNkey concept model will be developed over three cycles over PAR, resulting in a final version of the system. This report presents the findings from PAR Cycle 1.

description: Tied-down renewal processes are generalisations of the Brownian bridge, where an event (or a zero crossing) occurs both at the origin of time and at the final observation time $t$. We give an analytical derivation of the two-time correlation function for such processes in the Laplace space of all temporal variables. This yields the exact asymptotic expression of the correlation in the Porod regime of short separations between the two times and in the persistence regime of large separations. We also investigate other quantities, such as the backward and forward recurrence times, as well as the occupation time of the process. The latter has a broad distribution which is determined exactly. Physical implications of these results for the Poland Scheraga and related models are given. These results also give exact answers to questions posed in the past in the context of stochastically evolving surfaces.

description: Brains need to predict how the body reacts to motor commands. It is an open question how networks of spiking neurons can learn to reproduce the non-linear body dynamics caused by motor commands, using local, online and stable learning rules. Here, we present a supervised learning scheme for the feedforward and recurrent connections in a network of heterogeneous spiking neurons. The error in the output is fed back through fixed random connections with a negative gain, causing the network to follow the desired dynamics, while an online and local rule changes the weights. The rule for Feedback-based Online Local Learning Of Weights (FOLLOW) is local in the sense that weight changes depend on the presynaptic activity and the error signal projected onto the postsynaptic neuron. We provide examples of learning linear, non-linear and chaotic dynamics, as well as the dynamics of a two-link arm. Using the Lyapunov method, and under reasonable assumptions and approximations, we show that FOLLOW learning is stable uniformly, with the error going to zero asymptotically.
New astrophysical bounds on ultralight axionlike particles

description: Motivated by tension between the predictions of ordinary cold dark matter (CDM) and observations at galactic scales, ultralight axionlike particles (ULALPs) with mass of the order $10^{-22}~{\rm eV}$ have been proposed as an alternative CDM candidate. We consider cold and collisionless ULALPs produced in the early Universe by the vacuum realignment mechanism and constituting most of CDM. The ULALP fluid is commonly described by classical field equations. However, we show that, like QCD axions, the ULALPs thermalize by gravitational self-interactions and form a Bose-Einstein condensate, a quantum phenomenon. ULALPs, like QCD axions, explain the observational evidence for caustic rings of dark matter because they thermalize and go to the lowest energy state available to them. This is one of rigid rotation on the turnaround sphere. By studying the heating effect of infalling ULALPs on galactic disk stars and the thickness of the nearby caustic ring as observed from a triangular feature in the IRAS map of our galactic disk, we obtain lower-mass bounds on the ULALP mass of order $10^{-23}$ and $10^{-20}~{\rm eV}$, respectively.

description: This study's primary objective was to examine the effects of online banking on Kabul commercial banks' financial performance. While addressing financial performance and online banking, the following question can be pondered. What is the impact of online banking on the financial performance of commercial banks in Afghanistan? Furthermore, the primary data were examined by using SPSSv.24's descriptive and regression methods. In addition, different regression assumptions, estimating methods, specification checks, and other tests were performed on econometric models. According to the findings of random effect regression analysis, capital sufficiency and cost-effect were closely related to banks' financial performance. The study finds that online banking boosts the financial performance of commercial banks in Afghanistan. Inversely, there is no statistically significant correlation between the financial success of banks in Afghanistan and online banking or bank size. Additionally, there is a plethora of literature and studies on contemporary online banking and financial performance in different countries, However, there is no study on the implication of online banking on the financial performance of financial banks in Afghanistan. Furthermore, the present study found no banking law in Afghanistan to deal with financial technology, digital currency, and online banking. Hence, the present study is expected to enrich the knowledge of online banking and financial performance in the commercial bank of Afghanistan.

description: We report a comparison of the $1/T_1$ spin lattice relaxation rates (SLR) for $^9Li$ and $^8Li$ in Pt and SrTiO$_{3}$, in order to differentiate between magnetic and electric quadrupolar relaxation mechanisms. In Pt, the ratio of the $1/T_{1}$ spin relaxation rates $R_{Pt}$ was found to be 6.82(29), which is close to but less than the theoretical limit of $\sim7.68$ for pure magnetic relaxation. In SrTiO$_{3}$ this ratio was found to be 2.7(3), which is close but larger than the theoretical limit of $\sim2.14$ expected for pure electric quadrupolar relaxation. These results bring new insight into the nature of the fluctuations in the local environment of implanted $^8Li$ observed by $β$-NMR.

description: Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most prevalent and deadly malignancies affecting women worldwide, with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 being the primary drivers of its development. This study aims to identify key target genes and metabolic pathways involved in the pathogenesis of the most common CC types associated with HPV16 and HPV18 infection, such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenomas and adenocarcinomas (AA), while also exploring the less common subtypes including cystic, mucinous, and serous neoplasms (CMSN). Genomic data from 222 CC samples (SCC=182; AA=23; CMSN=17) were retrieved from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and analyzed using advanced bioinformatics tools, in order to identify frequently deregulated genes, assess tumor mutational burden (TMB), evaluate copy number variations, and determine the enrichment of oncogenic signaling pathways. The statistical analysis was performed using R-Studio and PathwayMapper. Our results revealed that PIK3CA and KMT2C were among the most commonly altered genes across all subtypes, with a strong co-occurrence relationship among mutant genes in the three types of CC. Additionally, each of the top mutated genes has a different tumor mutational burden level in CC, being the groups with Low TMB mainly associated with a poor prognosis in SCC and AA types. Copy number variation analysis identified recurrent amplifications in the 3q26 region, particularly in SCC samples, and deletions in the 11q23 region across all subtypes. Pathway enrichment analysis highlighted the RTK-RAS pathway as a key driver of CC progression. Furthermore, the study identified potential therapeutic targets, including the KRAS and PI3K pathways, which may offer new avenues for personalized treatment strategies in CC patients. These findings not only enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying CC but also provide a foundation for the development of targeted therapies that could improve outcomes for patients with HPV16 and HPV18-associated cervical cancer.
Effects of Matter in Neutrino Oscillations and Determination of Neutrino Mass Hierarchy at Long-baseline Experiments

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Neutrino oscillations change when in media in comparison to vacuum oscillations due to the scattering of neutrinos on matter constituents, electrons particularly. This can be easily described by introducing new effective matter mixing angles and squared mass-splittings. Exploiting the matter effects and subsequent enhancement or suppression of oscillation probabilities can be used to determine the hierarchy of neutrino mass states. Recent long-baseline experiments NO$ν$A and T2K investigate this possibility. Together NO$ν$A and T2K combined can reject the wrong hierarchy for more than 20% of all possible values of yet unknown CP violating phase $δ$ $\in$ [-180$^\circ$, 180$^\circ$].

description: The objective of this document is to present the outcomes of Task 4.3, titled “Development and testing of real-time damage detection tools for physical components”, developed within Work Package WP4 of TURNkey project. The main aim of Task 4.3 is the development of real-time algorithms for automated damage detection, through the use of signal analysis techniques to compute variations in the dynamic properties of buildings due to damage. It is worth mentioning that in this report “real-time” refers to a timeframe in the immediate aftermath of an earthquake. Indeed, by the terminology real-time, damage detection within minutes after the event is adopted, which remains in line with the concept of rapid response to earthquakes. Therefore, the more appropriate expression is “near real-time”, adopted hereinafter. In this Deliverable, we develop and test the algorithms that will be ready for an implementation in a near-real time context.

description: The aim of the current work is the research of the influence of the \textbf{tilted} magnetic field direction on statistical properties of energy levels of a two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen atom and of an exciton in GaAs/Al$_{0.33}$Ga$_{0.67}$As quantum well. It was discovered that the quantum chaos (QC) is initiated with an increasing angle $α$ between the magnetic field direction and the normal to the atomic plane. QC is characterized by the repulsion of levels leading to the eliminating of the shell structure and by changing the spectrum statistical properties. The evolution of the spatial distribution of the square of the absolute value of the wave function at an increasing angle $α$ was described. The differences of calculated dependencies of energies for various excited states on the tilt angle at a wide range of the magnetic field strength were obtained.

description: We present an extraction of unpolarized partonic transverse momentum distributions (TMDs) from a simultaneous fit of available data measured in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, Drell-Yan and Z-boson production. To connect data at different scales, we use TMD evolution at next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The analysis is restricted to the low-transverse-momentum region, with no matching to fixed-order calculations at high transverse momentum. We introduce specific choices to deal with TMD evolution at low scales, of the order of 1 GeV$^2$. This could be considered as a first attempt at a global fit of TMDs.

description: In scenarios that stabilize the electroweak scale, the top quark is typically accompanied by partner particles. In this work, we demonstrate how extended stabilizing symmetries can yield scalar or fermionic top partners that transform as ordinary color triplets but carry exotic electric charges. We refer to these scenarios as "hypertwisted" since they involve modifications to hypercharge in the top sector. As proofs of principle, we construct two hypertwisted scenarios: a supersymmetric construction with spin-0 top partners, and a composite Higgs construction with spin-1/2 top partners. In both cases, the top partners are still phenomenologically compatible with the mass range motivated by weak-scale naturalness. The phenomenology of hypertwisted scenarios is diverse, since the lifetimes and decay modes of the top partners are model dependent. The novel coupling structure opens up search channels that do not typically arise in top-partner scenarios, such as pair production of top-plus-jet resonances. Furthermore, hypertwisted top partners are typically sufficiently long lived to form "top-partnerium" bound states that decay predominantly via annihilation, motivating searches for rare narrow resonances with diboson decay modes.

description: The OASI project stems from the collaboration of the Institute of Genetics and Biophysics (IGB) and the Institute of Computing and High-Performance Networks (ICAR) of the National Research Council (CNR) in Naples with the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli," which coordinates the Italian Network of Asplenia (INA).

Asplenia refers to the condition resulting from either the surgical removal or an intrinsic dysfunction of the spleen. This condition is associated with various hematologic, oncologic, immunologic, and congenital diseases. Significant complications, such as severe infections and a prothrombotic state caused by coagulation and vascular imbalances, can arise from asplenia, posing life-threatening risks and substantial impacts on long-term disability, public health, and biological costs. Due to the diverse underlying diseases, a comprehensive and systematic approach to asplenia is lacking. Available data are often limited to narrow cohorts of patients with specific diseases, making it difficult to derive reliable information and establish objective clinical guidelines for managing asplenia.

The primary objective of the OASI project is to create a Research Biobank for Asplenia,housed at the IGB, that operates on a national scale in the context of the CNR’s Biological Resources Center. This biobank seeks to provide comprehensive and standardized data on asplenia.The OASI Research Biobank will systematically collect, process, and store biological samples from asplenic patients (and healthy volunteers), triangulated with detailed clinical records of the donors available through the INA Clinical Database. By integrating analytical information, including genomic and biochemical data, with clinical data, the OASI Biobank will serve as a research infrastructure and resource hub. These resources will be made accessible under international research standards to facilitate multidisciplinary, multicenter, large-scale observational studies aimed to fill critical gaps in asplenia biomedical research. Furthermore, OASI will promote bioinformatics innovation by leveraging computational biology to provide insights into asplenia, laying the groundwork for future support for the development of therapeutic interventions and clinical decision-making guidelines.

description: Direct imaging of exoplanets represents a challenge for astronomical instrumentation due to the high-contrast ratio and small angular separation between the host star and the faint planet. Multi-star systems pose additional challenges for coronagraphic instruments due to the diffraction and aberration leakage caused by companion stars. Consequently, many scientifically valuable multi-star systems are excluded from direct imaging target lists for exoplanet surveys and characterization missions. Multi-star wavefront control (MSWC) is a technique that uses a coronagraphic instrument's deformable mirror (DM) to create high-contrast regions in the focal plane in the presence of multiple stars. Our previous paper introduced the Super-Nyquist Wavefront Control (SNWC) technique that uses a diffraction grating to enable the DM to generate high-contrast regions beyond the nominal region correctable by the DM. These two techniques can be combined to generate high-contrast regions for multi-star systems at any angular separation. As a case study, a high-contrast wavefront control (WC) simulation that applies these techniques shows that the habitable region of the Alpha Centauri system can be imaged reaching at least $8 \times 10^{-9}$ mean contrast in 10\% broadband light in one-sided dark holes from 1.6-5.5$λ/D$.

description: We develop a model of early GRB afterglows with the dominant $X$-ray contribution from the reverse shock (RS) propagating in highly relativistic (Lorentz factor $γ_w \sim 10^6$) magnetized wind of a long-lasting central engine. The model reproduces, in a fairly natural way, the overall trends and yet allows for variations in the temporal and spectral evolution of early optical and $X$-ray afterglows. The high energy and the optical synchrotron emission from the RS particles occurs in the fast cooling regime; the resulting synchrotron power $L_s$ is a large fraction of the wind luminosity, $L_s \approx L_w/\sqrt{1+σ_w}$ ($L_w$ and $σ_w$ are wind power and magnetization). Thus, plateaus - parts of afterglow light curves that show slowly decreasing spectral power - are a natural consequence of the RS emission. Contribution from the forward shock (FS) is negligible in the $X$-rays, but in the optical both FS and RS contribute similarly: the FS optical emission is in the slow cooling regime, producing smooth components, while the RS optical emission is in the fast cooling regime, and thus can both produce optical plateaus and account for fast optical variability correlated with the $X$-rays, e.g., due to changes in the wind properties. We discuss how the RS emission in the $X$-rays and combined FS and RS emission in the optical can explain many of puzzling properties of early GRB afterglows.

description: Phase reduction framework for limit-cycling systems based on isochrons has been used as a powerful tool for analyzing rhythmic phenomena. Recently, the notion of isostables, which complements the isochrons by characterizing amplitudes of the system state, i.e., deviations from the limit-cycle attractor, has been introduced to describe transient dynamics around the limit cycle [Wilson and Moehlis, Phys. Rev. E 94, 052213 (2016)]. In this study, we introduce a framework for a reduced phase-amplitude description of transient dynamics of stable limit-cycling systems. In contrast to the preceding study, the isostables are treated in a fully consistent way with the Koopman operator analysis, which enables us to avoid discontinuities of the isostables and to apply the framework to system states far from the limit cycle. We also propose a new, convenient bi-orthogonalization method to obtain the response functions of the amplitudes, which can be interpreted as an extension of the adjoint covariant Lyapunov vector to transient dynamics in limit-cycling systems. We illustrate the utility of the proposed reduction framework by estimating optimal injection timing of external input that efficiently suppresses deviations of the system state from the limit cycle in a model of a biochemical oscillator.

Repeating FRB 121102 : Eight-year Fermi-LAT Upper Limits and Implications

description: The repeating fast radio burst (FRB) source that produced FRB 121102 was recently localized in a star forming galaxy at $z=0.193$, which is associated with an extended radio source at the burst location. One possibility is that the repeating FRBs are produced by a new-born magnetar, which also powers the radio nebula. If so, the magnetar may produce $γ$-ray emission due to magnetic dipolar spin-down. The luminosity depends on the magnetar spin parameters and age. We process the eight-year Fermi LAT data at the position of FRB 121102 and place an energy flux upper limit of $\sim 10^{-11} \ {\rm erg \ cm^{-2} \ s^{-1}}$ in time bins with six-month intervals, and an accumulated energy flux upper limit of $\sim 4\times 10^{-12} \ {\rm erg \ cm^{-2} \ s^{-1}}$ over the eight year span. The corresponding $γ$-ray luminosity upper limits are $\sim 10^{45} \ {\rm erg \ s^{-1}}$ and $\sim 4\times 10^{44} \ {\rm erg \ s^{-1}}$ for the time-resolved and time-integrated analyses, respectively. We discuss the implications of these limits on the young magnetar model.

description: Soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars are thought to be magnetars, neutron stars with strong magnetic fields of order $\mathord{\sim} 10^{13}$--$10^{15} \, \mathrm{gauss}$. These objects emit intermittent bursts of hard X-rays and soft gamma rays. Quasiperiodic oscillations in the X-ray tails of giant flares imply the existence of neutron star oscillation modes which could emit gravitational waves powered by the magnetar's magnetic energy reservoir. We describe a method to search for transient gravitational-wave signals associated with magnetar bursts with durations of 10s to 1000s of seconds. The sensitivity of this method is estimated by adding simulated waveforms to data from the sixth science run of Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). We find a search sensitivity in terms of the root sum square strain amplitude of $h_{\mathrm{rss}} = 1.3 \times 10^{-21} \, \mathrm{Hz}^{-1/2}$ for a half sine-Gaussian waveform with a central frequency $f_0 = 150 \, \mathrm{Hz}$ and a characteristic time $τ= 400 \, \mathrm{s}$. This corresponds to a gravitational wave energy of $E_{\mathrm{GW}} = 4.3 \times 10^{46} \, \mathrm{erg}$, the same order of magnitude as the 2004 giant flare which had an estimated electromagnetic energy of $E_{\mathrm{EM}} = \mathord{\sim} 1.7 \times 10^{46} (d/ 8.7 \, \mathrm{kpc})^2 \, \mathrm{erg}$, where $d$ is the distance to SGR 1806-20. We present an extrapolation of these results to Advanced LIGO, estimating a sensitivity to a gravitational wave energy of $E_{\mathrm{GW}} = 3.2 \times 10^{43} \, \mathrm{erg}$ for a magnetar at a distance of $1.6 \, \mathrm{kpc}$. These results suggest this search method can probe significantly below the energy budgets for magnetar burst emission mechanisms such as crust cracking and hydrodynamic deformation.

description: We have previously derived the effect of soft graviton modes on the quantum state of de Sitter using spontaneously broken asymptotic symmetries. In the present paper we reinterpret this effect in terms of particle production and relate the quantum states with and without soft modes by means of Bogoliubov transformations. This also enables us to address the much discussed issues regarding the observability of infrared effects in de Sitter from a new perspective. While it is commonly agreed that infrared effects are not visible to a single sub-horizon observer at late times, we argue that the question is less trivial for a {\it patient observer} who has lived long enough to have a record of the state before the soft mode was created. Though classically there is no obstruction to measuring this effect locally, we give several indications that quantum mechanical uncertainties may censor the effect. We then apply our methods to find a non-perturbative description of the quantum state pertaining to the Page time of de Sitter, and derive with these new methods the probability distribution for the local quantum states of de Sitter and slow-roll inflation in the presence of long modes. Finally, we use this to formulate a precise criterion for the existence of eternal inflation in general classes of slow-roll inflation.

description: String theory generically predicts the coupling between the Affleck-Dine field and axion field through higher-dimensional operators. We thus explore the Affleck-Dine baryogenesis on an axion background. It turns out that the axion oscillation produces an enough amount of baryon asymmetry of the Universe just after the inflation, even without a soft supersymmetry-breaking $A$-term. This baryogenesis scenario is applicable to the string axion inflation.

description: The SUMP Guidelines are an important European strategic planning instrument for authorities to establish an integrated, long-term, sustainable mobility plan. The guidelines serve to aid in the process of transitioning to a more sustainable urban mobility system. With the wider goal of improving quality of life for citizens and facing mobility issues as well as the climate crisis globally, SUMPs have been developed and implemented in more than 1,000 cities. New developments in many areas of urban mobility and a wealth of SUMP implementation experience has required rethinking and extending the original guidelines from 2013. While the concept is still based on the eight principles of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning, the guidelines offer clear guidance on how to develop and implement a SUMP, highlighting the flexibility of the process and presenting a detailed consideration of the transferability of the SUMP concept to various planning contexts for cities.
