description: NASA's K2 mission is observing tens of thousands of stars along the ecliptic, providing data suitable for large scale asteroseismic analyses to inform galactic archaeology studies. Its first campaign covered a field near the north galactic cap, a region never covered before by large asteroseismic-ensemble investigations, and was therefore of particular interest for exploring this part of our Galaxy. Here we report the asteroseismic analysis of all stars selected by the K2 Galactic Archaeology Program during the mission's "North Galactic Cap" campaign 1. Our consolidated analysis uses six independent methods to measure the global seismic properties, in particular the large frequency separation, and the frequency of maximum power. From the full target sample of 8630 stars we find about 1200 oscillating red giants, a number comparable with estimates from galactic synthesis modeling. Thus, as a valuable by-product we find roughly 7500 stars to be dwarfs, which provide a sample well suited for galactic exoplanet occurrence studies because they originate from our simple and easily reproducible selection function. In addition, to facilitate the full potential of the data set for galactic archaeology we assess the detection completeness of our sample of oscillating red giants. We find the sample is at least near complete for stars with 40 < numax/microHz < 270, and numax_detec < 2.6*1e6 * 2e-Kp microHz. There is a detection bias against helium core burning stars with numax ~ 30 microHz, affecting the number of measurements of DeltaNu and possibly also numax. Although we can detect oscillations down to Kp = 15, our campaign 1 sample lacks enough faint giants to assess the detection completeness for stars fainter than Kp ~ 14.5.

description: BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is an established risk factor for developing Parkinson's disease (PD), but its effect on disease progression is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of T2DM on aspects of disease progression in PD. METHODS: We analyzed data from the Tracking Parkinson's study to examine the effects of comorbid T2DM on PD progression and quality of life by comparing symptom severity scores assessing a range of motor and nonmotor symptoms. RESULTS: We identified 167 (8.7%) patients with PD and T2DM (PD + T2DM) and 1763 (91.3%) patients with PD without T2DM (PD). After controlling for confounders, patients with T2DM had more severe motor symptoms, as assessed by Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale, Part III (25.8 [0.9] vs. 22.5 [0.3] P = 0.002), and nonmotor symptoms, as assessed by Non-Motor Symptoms Scale total (38.4 [2.5] vs. 31.8 [0.7] P < 0.001), and were significantly more likely to report loss of independence (odds ratio, 2.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34-3.25; P = 0.001) and depression (odds ratio, 1.62; CI: 1.10-2.39; P = 0.015). Furthermore, over time, patients with T2DM had significantly faster motor symptom progression (P = 0.012), developed worse mood symptoms (P = 0.041), and were more likely to develop substantial gait impairment (hazard ratio, 1.55; CI: 1.07-2.23; P = 0.020) and mild cognitive impairment (hazard ratio, 1.7; CI: 1.24-2.51; P = 0.002) compared with the PD group. CONCLUSIONS: In the largest study to date, T2DM is associated with faster disease progression in Parkinson's, highlighting an interaction between these two diseases. Because it is a potentially modifiable metabolic state, with multiple peripheral and central targets for intervention, it may represent a target for alleviating parkinsonian symptoms and slowing progression to disability and dementia. © 2022 The Authors.

description: Die Arbeit präsentiert die Messung der Zwei­Jet Rate, R 2 , in tiefinelastischer Streuung bei HERA. Es werden Daten analysiert, die mit dem H1­Detektor in den Jahren 1996/97 aufgezeichnet worden sind und die einer intergrierten Luminosität von 22 pb -1 entsprechen. R 2 wird präsentiert als eine Funktion von chi B und Q 2 im kinematischen Bereich 10 -4
description: Dijet event rates, R 2 , have been measured for deep inelastic ep scattering using data collected with the H1 detector in the years 1996­1997 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 22 pb -1 . R 2 is shown as a function of chi B and Q 2 in the kinematic region 10 -4 < chi B <10 -2 and 5 < Q 2 < 100 GeV 2. The thesis discusses in great detail the steps necessary to determine R 2 and the result provides the fully corrected dijet rate. The data are confronted with next­to­leading order QCD calculations using two different choices of the renormalization scale my r 2 and assuming a point­like structure of the virtual photon. While for my r 2 = Q 2 the NLO predictions match the measured dijet rate within the rather large scale uncertainties, the choice my r 2 = Q 2 +E t 2 leads to a substantially lower but theoretically more reliable prediction demanding the inclusion of higher order processes. Therefore the data are compared to NLO QCD calculations which include a resolved structure of the virtual photon. In addition, the dependence of the measured dijet rates on the transverse energy requirement for the jets is studied in bins of chi B and Q 2 providing a highly differential measurement of R 2 for comparison to current fixed order and future resummed calculations.

description: Oral delivery of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) draws significant attention, but the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has many biological barriers that limit the drugs’ bioavailability. The aim of this work was to investigate the potential of nano- and micron-sized CaCO3 and PLA carriers for oral delivery of siRNA and reveal a relationship between the physicochemical features of these carriers and their biodistribution. In vitro stability of carriers was investigated in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids. Toxicity and cellular uptake were investigated on Caco-2 cells. The biodistribution profiles of the developed CaCO3 and PLA carriers were examined using different visualization methods, including SPECT, fluorescence imaging, radiometry, and histological analysis. The delivery efficiency of siRNA loaded carriers was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Micro-sized carriers were accumulated in the stomach and later localized in the colon tissues. The nanoscale particles (100-250 nm) were distributed in the colon tissues. nPLA was also detected in small intestine. The developed carriers can prevent siRNA from premature degradation in GIT media. Our results reveal how the physicochemical properties of the particles, including their size and material type can affect their biodistribution profile and oral delivery of siRNA.

description: We theoretically study the motion of a magnetic domain wall induced by transverse elastic waves in a one-dimensional magnetic wire, which respects both rotational and translational symmetries. By invoking the conservation of the associated total angular and linear momenta, we are able to derive the torque and the force on the domain wall exerted by the waves. We then show how ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domain walls can be driven by circularly- and linear-polarized waves, respectively. We envision that elastic waves may provide effective means to drive the dynamics of magnetic solitons in insulators.

description: Die Soziale Marktwirtschaft wurde in der Bundesrepublik praktisch von Ludwig Erhard eingeführt, der sich in wesentlichen Punkten auf die Lehre seines Doktorvaters Franz Oppenheimer bezieht. Von diesen Ursprüngen abweichend "sind in der Wirtschaftstheorie Paradigmata dominant geworden, die kein Verständnis für die Wirtschaftspolitik Ludwig Erhards erwarten lassen" (Wünsche). Die ökonomische Strategie der Deutschen Einheit leidet nun nach Auffassung des Verfassers vor allem unter dem Verlust der Fähigkeit, Wirtschaftspolitik unter soziologischen Aspekten zu betreiben. Der Beitrag zeigt von der praktischen Seite, daß die Motive der Akteure vielfach nicht berücksichtigt wurden und dem Scheitern der Politik ein Rückschritt der Wirtschaftswissenschaft vorangegangen ist. Abschließend werden die Potentiale gruppenwirtschaftlicher Selbsthilfe behandelt.

description: We study single spin asymmetries at one-loop accuracy in Drell-Yan processes in which one of the initial hadrons is transversely polarized. The spin-dependent part of differential cross-sections can be factorized with various hadronic matrix elements of twist-2 and twist-3 operators. These operators can be of even- and odd-chirality. In this work, the studied observables of asymmetries are differential cross-sections with different weights. These weights are selected so that the observables are spin-dependent and their virtual corrections are completely determined by quark form factor. In the calculations of one-loop corrections we meet collinear divergences in the contributions involving chirality-odd and chirality-even operators. We find that all of the divergences can be correctly subtracted. Therefore, our results give an explicit example of QCD factorization with twist-3 operators, especially, QCD factorization with chirality-odd twist-3 operators.

description: We present results from a deep 2'x3' (comoving scale of 3.7 Mpc x 5.5 Mpc at z=3) survey at 1.1 mm taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in the SSA22 field. We observe the core region of a z = 3.09 protocluster, achieving a typical rms sensitivity of 60 micro-Jy/beam at a spatial resolution of 0".7. We detect 18 robust ALMA sources at a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) > 5. Comparison between the ALMA map and a 1.1 mm map taken with the AzTEC camera on the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) indicates that three submillimeter sources discovered by the AzTEC/ASTE survey are resolved into eight individual submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) by ALMA. At least ten of our 18 ALMA SMGs have spectroscopic redshifts of z = 3.09, placing them in the protocluster. This shows that a number of dusty starburst galaxies are forming simultaneously in the core of the protocluster. The nine brightest ALMA SMGs with SNR > 10 have a median intrinsic angular size of 0".32+0".13-0".06 (2.4+1.0-0.4 physical kpc at z = 3.09), which is consistent with previous size measurements of SMGs in other fields. As expected the source counts show a possible excess compared to the counts in the general fields at S_1.1mm >= 1.0 mJy due to the protocluster. Our contiguous mm mapping highlights the importance of large-scale structures on the formation of dusty starburst galaxies.

Causes and Coping Strategies of Food Insecurity among Rural Households in Kimbibit Wereda, Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Seblewengel, Hailemariam
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Review of literature revealed that there are a number of studies conducted to understand the causes of food insecurity in Ethiopia (Furgasa, 2016). However, because of the generic nature of these studies, there is a perception that it makes it difficult to better understand the specific nature of the situation in different pocket areas. This study aims to address the existing knowledge gap by exploring the causes of food insecurity and coping strategy among rural households in Kimbibit Wereda, Oromia National Regional State, using a cross sectional household survey. Structured questionnaire, focus group discussions, and key informants interview were used to collect data for the study. Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) techniques were employed to classify the households into food insecure groups by further classifying mildly, moderately, and severely food insecure. A total of 236 survey questionnaires were distributed and 234 were returned. The study revealed that among the survey participants, 56.8% of households are severely food insecure. Accordingly, majority of the households are receiving food aid from the productive safety net program. The finding further indicates that the general factors including agro-ecology, economic, socio-cultural, institution and policy are the major factors affecting food security in the study area. In an effort to assess the food security condition in the wereda using Food Availability Decline (FAD) and Food Entitlement Decline (FED) models, it is concluded that food availability decline surely impacted the area as the production is hampered by the general factors mentioned above. The food market in the area offers some food but many of the households do not have the means to afford or access, which is a clear demonstration of a decline in entitlement. The study recommends that farming households be supported in terms of both short term and long term strategies to improve food production and supply including provision of off-farm engagement firms in the area, diversifying livelihood, using modern farming techniques and inputs to increase productivity.

title: Intervention fidelity within interventions aimed at reducing non-indicated imaging for low back pain
Creators: name: To, Daphne K
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Non-indicated imaging for low back pain (LBP) is unnecessary but remains common. Interventions to reduce this behaviour must consider the impact of fidelity (i.e., degree to which the intervention was delivered as intended) on trial results. The thesis examines strategies used to enhance and assess intervention fidelity for interventions targeting nonindicated imaging for LBP and explores perceived barriers and enablers to enhancing fidelity of training and delivery to a proposed intervention for reducing non-indicated imaging for LBP. Two studies, a systematic review and a qualitative interview study, address these objectives. The systematic review, conducted using the PRISMA statement, found few studies reported strategies to enhance/assess fidelity. When reported, mainly enhancement strategies for fidelity to study design and intervention delivery were identified. The interview study, analysed with the Theoretical Domains Framework, found that logistical issues were a perceived barrier to attending training, while enablers were incentives and flexibility in training. Time, patient pressures, and habit were perceived barriers to intervention delivery, while enablers included enhancement strategies related to reminders and support. Findings from this thesis contribute to the development of an intervention fidelity protocol when designing an intervention to reduce non-indicated imaging for LBP in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

description: To measure the mass of foreground objects with weak gravitational lensing, one needs to estimate the redshift distribution of lensed background sources. This is commonly done in an empirical fashion, i.e. with a reference sample of galaxies of known spectroscopic redshift, matched to the source population. In this work, we develop a simple decision tree framework that, under the ideal conditions of a large, purely magnitude-limited reference sample, allows an unbiased recovery of the source redshift probability density function p(z), as a function of magnitude and color. We use this framework to quantify biases in empirically estimated p(z) caused by selection effects present in realistic reference and weak lensing source catalogs, namely (1) complex selection of reference objects by the targeting strategy and success rate of existing spectroscopic surveys and (2) selection of background sources by the success of object detection and shape measurement at low signal-to-noise. For intermediate-to-high redshift clusters, and for depths and filter combinations appropriate for ongoing lensing surveys, we find that (1) spectroscopic selection can cause biases above the 10 per cent level, which can be reduced to 5 per cent by optimal lensing weighting, while (2) selection effects in the shape catalog bias mass estimates at or below the 2 per cent level. This illustrates the importance of completeness of the reference catalogs for empirical redshift estimation.

description: Transition metal pentatelluride ZrTe5 is a versatile material in condensed-matter physics and has been intensively studied since the 1980s. The most fascinating feature of ZrTe5 is that it is a 3D Dirac semimetal which has linear energy dispersion in all three dimensions in momentum space. Structure-wise, ZrTe5 is a layered material held together by weak interlayer van der Waals force. The combination of its unique band structure and 2D atomic structure provides a fertile ground for more potential exotic physical phenomena in ZrTe5 related to 3D Dirac semimentals. However the physical properties of its few-layer form have yet to be thoroughly explored. Here we report strong optical and electrical in-plane anisotropy of mechanically exfoliated few-layer ZrTe5. Raman spectroscopy shows significant intensity change with sample orientations, and the behavior of angle-resolved phonon modes at the gamma point is explained by theoretical calculation. DC conductance measurement indicates a 50% of difference along different in-plane directions. The diminishing of resistivity anomaly in few-layer samples indicates the evolution of band structure with reduced thickness. Low-temperature Hall experiment sheds lights on more intrinsic anisotropic electrical transport, with hole mobility of 3,000 and 1,500 cm2/Vs along a-axis and c-axis respectively. Pronounced quantum oscillations in magneto-resistance are observed at low temperatures with highest electron mobility up to 44,000 cm2/Vs.

description: We systematically investigate the near- (NIR) to far-infrared (FIR) photometric properties of a nearly complete sample of local active galactic nuclei (AGN) detected in the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) all-sky ultra hard X-ray (14-195 keV) survey. Out of 606 non-blazar AGN in the Swift/BAT 70-month catalog at high galactic latitude of $|b|>10^{\circ}$, we obtain IR photometric data of 604 objects by cross-matching the AGN positions with catalogs from the WISE, AKARI, IRAS, and Herschel infrared observatories. We find a good correlation between the ultra-hard X-ray and mid-IR (MIR) luminosities over five orders of magnitude ($41 < \log (L_{14-195}/{\rm erg}~{\rm s}^{-1})< 46$). Informed by previous measures of the intrinsic spectral energy distribution of AGN, we find FIR pure-AGN candidates whose FIR emission is thought to be AGN-dominated with low starformation activity. We demonstrate that the dust covering factor decreases with the bolometric AGN luminosity, confirming the luminosity-dependent unified scheme. We also show that the completeness of the WISE color-color cut in selecting Swift/BAT AGN increases strongly with 14-195 keV luminosity.

Volunteer Management practice and Retention: The case of Ethiopian Red Cross Society
Creators: name: Misrak, Woldu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The main objective of this research was to explore the factors which helps in the retention of volunteers in a volunteer based societies for a longer period. Ethiopian Red Cross Society is the non-profit organizations. Volunteer in the society drop out at a fast pace due to many reasons like lack of proper management, motivation, dissatisfaction. The researcher decided to know how retaining their volunteers and if and how this work could be improved. The research in this paper done in both quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed in a triangulation form to address the objectives of this study. Primary data was collected using a 5 item likert scaled questionnaire from 239 volunteers from 248 expected sample size. The management practice correlates were investigated for their ability to act as determinants of volunteer retention using mediating variables volunteer motivation and volunteer satisfaction. Descriptive statistics using regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship of the dependent variable and the independent variables of the research. To improve volunteer retention by improving the effectiveness of volunteer screening, selecting, support, and training as well as volunteer recognition and performance management but through volunteer motivation and volunteer satisfaction. To access volunteer management practice and volunteer retention to understand the relationship between volunteer management practice factors and volunteer retention. The empirical findings that the researcher gathered from the questionnaire and interviews provided insight in the society that the researcher had hoped for as well as answers to the main questions in a sufficient way.
title:  Krisis. La medicina come paradigma

description: Secondo lo storico Reinhardt Koselleck il termine krisis è la parola chiave della modernità e della nostra vita, in tutte le sue declinazioni, individuali e collettive, economiche, politiche, sociali  e culturali. Il concetto di crisi ha comunemente un significato negativo e sta a indicare il venir meno, l’esaurirsi di modelli esplicativi del reale che hanno perso la capacità di rappresentare, dare senso all’uomo e al suo mondo. È possibile pensare alla crisi in maniera positiva? Attraverso il recupero del modello epistemologico ippocratico della crisi, l’articolo si propone di guardare a questa come individuazione del ‘tempo debito’, come opportunità del ‘mettere sotto giudizio’, per recuperare la forza euristica e propulsiva della riflessione e dell’analisi critica, in grado di rifondare gli schemi di comprensione di noi stessi e del reale.

According to historian Reinhardt Koselleck, the term krisis is the key word of modernity and of our life, in all its forms, individual and collective, economic, political, social and cultural. The concept of crisis commonly has a negative meaning and indicates the failure, the collapse of explanatory models of reality that have lost their ability to represent and give meaning to man and his world. Is it possible to think of the crisis in a positive way? Through the recovery of the Hippocratic epistemological model of the crisis, the article suggests looking at it as the identification of 'due time', as an opportunity to 'put under judgment', to recover the heuristic and propulsive force of reflection and critical analysis, able to rebuilt the patterns of understanding ourselves and reality.

description: The coupled dark energy model provides a possible approach to mitigate the coincidence problem of cosmological standard model. Here, the coupling term is assumed as $\bar{Q}=3Hξ_x\barρ_x$, which is related to the interaction rate and energy density of dark energy. We derive the background and perturbation evolution equations for several coupled models. Then, we test these models by currently available cosmic observations which include cosmic microwave background radiation from Planck 2015, baryon acoustic oscillation, type Ia supernovae, $fσ_8(z)$ data points from redshift-space distortions, and weak gravitational lensing. The constraint results tell us there is no evidence of interaction at 2$σ$ level, it is very hard to distinguish different coupled models from other ones.

Music not elsewhere classified

description: Gestumblindi was a character in Norse mythology, best known for an exquisite contest of wisdom that took place between himself (though Odin was in fact disguised as him) and King Heidrek. Gestumblindi presented a series of riddles which, due to their ingenuity, eventually exposed him as Odin. The idea of creating a piece for a solo melodic instrument inspired by a riddle was too intriguing a project to take my eyes off. While there are many riddles to take inspiration from in the Gestumblindi-Heidrek exchange, the second last in the series evoked the most interesting visuals for me, musically speaking.

description: The recent years have witnessed increased development of small, autonomous fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In order to unlock widespread applicability of these platforms, they need to be capable of operating under a variety of environmental conditions. Due to their small size, low weight, and low speeds, they require the capability of coping with wind speeds that are approaching or even faster than the nominal airspeed. In this paper we present a principled nonlinear guidance strategy, addressing this problem. More broadly, we propose a methodology for the high-level control of non-holonomic unicycle-like vehicles in the presence of strong flowfields (e.g. winds, underwater currents) which may outreach the maximum vehicle speed. The proposed strategy guarantees convergence to a safe and stable vehicle configuration with respect to the flowfield, while preserving some tracking performance with respect to the target path. Evaluations in simulations and a challenging real-world flight experiment in very windy conditions confirm the feasibility of the proposed guidance approach.
