title: Habitus dislocation and the importance of
affinity groups for older lesbians and bisexual
women
Creators: name: Wilkens, J
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2016

description: This research investigates the intersection of ageing, gender, class and
sexual identity with a particular focus on the role of same-sexuality social
groups and networks for older lesbians and bisexual women.
Thirty-five women aged between 57 and 73 were interviewed about a range
of topics including what it was like to come out in the 1950s and 1960s, their
education and employment, their feelings about ageing, whether they had
been lonely or isolated and their experiences of attending groups for
lesbians and bisexual women.
The research found that many participants experienced feelings of being
‘out of place’ that were not to do with financial or structural inequalities but
were culturally and socially shaped by aspects of their social mobility,
generation, gender and sexuality. Using an intersectional approach, I draw
on Bourdieu’s work, using the concept of habitus dislocation to consider the
contradictions of these mobilities. I suggest that many of my participants
faced unprecedented and unique disjunctures between their original habitus
and the new classed, sexual and gendered locations in which they finally
‘arrived’.
The research indicates that participants’ friendships and families of choice,
as well as the social groups they have created and attended across the life
course, have had an important role to play in helping to alleviate the feelings
of difference that are a consequence of multiple mobilities. For many
participants they are sites of resilience and help to promote positive ageing,
offering a sense of belonging to a generation of lesbian and bisexual women
who have faced marginalisation across their life course. However, they are
also locations of hierarchy and privilege, where some are excluded or
precariously positioned.
This study offers a unique view of habitus dislocation as a consequence of
multiple mobilities across the life course of a generational cohort of women,
often under-represented or absent from sexualities research. It makes an
important contribution to the literature on lesbian, gay and bisexual ageing
that focuses solely on loneliness and isolation and the significance of social
support

description: Recent theories suggest a shift from model-based goal-directed to model-free habitual decision-making in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, it is yet unclear, whether this shift in the decision process is heritable. We investigated 32 patients with OCD, 27 unaffected siblings (SIBs) and 31 healthy controls (HCs) using the two-step task. We computed behavioral and reaction time analyses and fitted a computational model to assess the balance between model-based and model-free control. 80 subjects also underwent structural imaging. We observed a significant ordered effect for the shift towards model-free control in the direction OCD>SIB>HC in our computational parameter of interest. However less directed analyses revealed no shift towards model-free control in OCDs. Nonetheless, we found evidence for reduced model-based control in OCDs compared to HCs and SIBs via 2nd stage reaction time analyses. In this measure SIBs also showed higher levels of model-based control than HCs. Across all subjects these effects were associated with the surface area of the left medial/right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Moreover, correlations between bilateral putamen/right caudate volumes and these effects varied as a function of group: they were negative in SIBs and OCDs, but positive in HCs. Associations between fronto-striatal regions and model-based reaction time effects point to a potential endophenotype for OCD.

description: In this work, we analyze the performance of a simple majority-rule protocol solving a fundamental coordination problem in distributed systems - \emph{binary majority consensus}, in the presence of probabilistic message loss. Using probabilistic analysis for a large scale, fully-connected, network of $2n$ agents, we prove that the Simple Majority Protocol (SMP) reaches consensus in only three communication rounds with probability approaching $1$ as $n$ grows to infinity. Moreover, if the difference between the numbers of agents that hold different opinions grows at a rate of $\sqrt{n}$, then the SMP with only two communication rounds attains consensus on the majority opinion of the network, and if this difference grows faster than $\sqrt{n}$, then the SMP reaches consensus on the majority opinion of the network in a single round, with probability converging to $1$ exponentially fast as $n \rightarrow \infty$. We also provide some converse results, showing that these requirements are not only sufficient, but also necessary.

description: Spatial heterogeneity of hepatic fibrosis in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in comparison to viral hepatitis was assessed as a potential new biomarker using MR elastography (MRE). In this proof-of-concept study, we hypothesized a rather increased heterogeneity in PSC and a rather homogeneous distribution in viral hepatitis. Forty-six consecutive subjects (PSC: n=20, viral hepatitis: n=26) were prospectively enrolled between July 2014 and April 2017. Subjects underwent multifrequency MRE (1.5 T) using drive frequencies of 35-60 Hz and generating shear-wave speed (SWS in m/s) maps as a surrogate of stiffness. The coefficient of variation (CV in %) was determined to quantify fibrosis heterogeneity. Mean SWS and CV were 1.70 m/s and 21% for PSC, and 1.84 m/s and 18% for viral hepatitis. Fibrosis heterogeneity was significantly increased for PSC (P=0.04) while no difference was found for SWS of PSC and viral hepatitis (P=0.17). Global hepatic stiffness was similar in PSC and viral hepatitis groups, but spatial heterogeneity may reveal spatial patterns of stiffness changes towards enhanced biophysics-based diagnosis by MRI.

description: Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) provides images of fluorescent objects at an enhanced resolution greater than that of conventional epifluorescence wide-field microscopy. Initially demonstrated in 1999 to enhance the lateral resolution two-fold, it has since been extended to enhance axial resolution two-fold (2008), applied to live-cell imaging (2009) and combined with myriad other techniques, including interferometric detection (2008), confocal microscopy (2010) and light sheet illumination (2012). Despite these impressive developments, SIM remains, perhaps, the most poorly understood `super-resolution' method. In this article, we provide answers to the 13 questions regarding SIM proposed by Prakash et al., along with answers to a further three questions. After providing a general overview of the technique and its developments, we explain why SIM as normally used is still diffraction-limited. We then highlight the necessity for a non-polynomial, and not just non-linear, response to the illuminating light in order to make SIM a true, diffraction-unlimited, super-resolution technique. In addition, we present a derivation of a real-space SIM reconstruction approach that can be used to process conventional SIM and image scanning microscopy (ISM) data and extended to process data with quasi-arbitrary illumination patterns. Finally, we provide a simple bibliometric analysis of SIM development over the past two decades and provide a short outlook on potential future work.

description: CO2 sources and capture technologies: Two main sources are being discussed for the climate-friendly use of carbon dioxide. With the direct CO2 capture from the ambient air, highly pure CO2 is obtained by technical processes and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is immediately reduced, albeit only slightly. The CO2 capture from flue gases in industrial combustion processes prevents carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. It is faced with the problem that the use of fossil fuels must be stopped in the coming decades for reasons of climate protection.

description: В данной статье проанализированы образы истории революции 1917 г. и событий Гражданской войны 1918–1920 гг., конструируемых элитами постсоветского Татарстана. Рассмотрены образы этой эпохи, существующие в массовых исторических представлениях жителей Татарстана. Революционные события 1917–1920 гг. представлены в элитарном дискурсе через призму национальной истории татар. Поэтому большое внимание при описании этих событий уделяется национальному движению татарского народа. Участникам «белых» сил в Гражданской войне даются однозначно негативные оценки из-за того, что они выступали за «единую и неделимую Россию» и не признавали прав татарского народа на национальное самоопределение. «Красные» силы оцениваются амбивалентно, но позитивные оценки преобладают над негативными оценками. Главное достижение революционных событий стало провозглашение Татарской АССР в 1920 г., что означало частичное восстановление государственности татар, которую они потеряли в 1552 г. В массовых исторических представлениях жителей Татарстана революционные события 1917–1920 гг. выступают как одна из ключевых вех истории XX в. наряду с Великой Отечественной войной и распадом СССР.

description: A wide range of actors are seeking to democratize energy systems. In the collaborative governance process of energy system transitions to net zero, however, many energy democracy concepts are watered down or abandoned entirely. Using five renewable energy case studies, we first explore the diversity of energy democratizing system challengers and bottom-up actors. Secondly, we analyze the role of conflict and challenges arising from the subsequent collaborative governance process and identify what appear to be blind spots in the CG literature. Our case studies on Berlin (GER), Jena (GER), Kalmar (SWE), Minneapolis (US) and Southeast England (UK) include different types of policy processes and actors. They suggest that actors championing energy democracy principles play an important role in opening participation in the early stages of collaborative energy transition governance. As collaborative governance progresses, participation tends to be increasingly restricted. We conclude that collaborative processes by themselves are insufficient in maintaining energy democracy principles in the energy transition. These require institutional embedding of participative facilitation and consensus building. The Kalmar case study as our only successful example of energy democracy suggests that a more intermediated and service-oriented approach to energy provision can create a business case for democratizing energy provision through collaborative governance.
Трансформация практики открытого усыновления в контексте сельско-городской миграции (случай постсоветской Бурятии)

description: В статье анализируется трансформация практики открытого усыновления в постсоветской Бурятии. Передача ребенка или «обмен» детьми в рамках расширенной семьи автором статьи рассматривается как еще одна форма заботы, которая позволяет перенести «груз» заботы с одного поколения на другое или перераспределить его между представителями одного поколения. Данный тип межпоколенной заботы редко становится предметом исследования, так как открытое усыновление детей родственников является нормой в ограниченном числе обществ. Исследование проводилось в рамках качественной методологии. Метод лейтмотивного интервью использовался для сбора эмпирического материала (23 интервью), метод тематического кодирования и метод дискурс-анализа использовались для анализа документов. Методика анализа категоризации взаимодействия применялась при анализе транскриптов интервью. Анализ публичного дискурса о традиции открытого усыновления показывает, что данный обычай положительно интерпретируется. Обычай открытого усыновления становится востребованным в качестве легитимного способа нивелировать дефицит заботы в семье сельского мигранта.

description: Topological string theory near the conifold point of a Calabi-Yau threefold gives rise to factorially divergent power series which encode the all-genus enumerative information. These series lead to infinite towers of singularities in their Borel plane (also known as "peacock patterns"), and we conjecture that the corresponding Stokes constants are integer invariants of the Calabi-Yau threefold. We calculate these Stokes constants in some toric examples, confirming our conjecture and providing in some cases explicit generating functions for the new integer invariants, in the form of q-series. Our calculations in the toric case rely on the TS/ST correspondence, which promotes the asymptotic series near the conifold point to spectral traces of operators, and makes it easier to identify the Stokes data. The resulting mathematical structure turns out to be very similar to the one of complex Chern-Simons theory. In particular, spectral traces correspond to state integral invariants and factorize in holomorphic/anti-holomorphic blocks.

description: For an arbitrary tuple of $m+1$ germs of analytic functions at a fixed point, we introduce the so-called polynomial Hermite-Padé $m$-system (of order $n$, $n\in\mathbb N$), which consists of $m$ tuples of polynomials; these tuples, which are indexed by a natural number $k\in[1,\dots,m]$, are called the $k$th polynomials of the Hermite-Padé $m$-system. We study the weak asymptotics of the polynomials of the Hermite-Padé $m$-system constructed at the point $\infty$ from the tuple of germs $[1, f_{1,\infty},\dotsc$, $f_{m,\infty}]$ of the functions $1, f_1,\dots,f_m$ that are meromorphic on some $(m+1)$-sheeted branched covering $π\colon \mathfrak R\to\widehat{\mathbb C}$ of the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb C}$ of a compact Riemann surface $\mathfrak R$. In particular, under some additional condition on $π$, we find the limit distribution of the zeros and the asymptotics of the ratios of the $k$th polynomials for all $k\in[1,\dots, m]$. It turns out that in the case, where $f_j = f^j$ for some meromorphic function $f$ on $\mathfrak R$, the ratios of some $k$th polynomials of such Hermite-Padé $m$-system converge to the sum of the values of the function $f$ on the first $k$ sheets of the Nuttall partition of the Riemann surface $\mathfrak R$ into sheets.

description: Detailed anatomical studies of flowers and fruits may render traits of phylogenetic importance, but are still rare in the Boraginales. An Old World clade of Cordia comprises many dioecious species, but the floral anatomy is largely unexplored and, hence, the structural basis for sex separation. Fresh material of buds, functionally unisexual flowers and fruits were studied using a stack shot camera. Fixed such material of Cordia crenata, C. cf. grandicalyx and C. sinensis was sectioned using a microtome and stained with safranin red and astra blue, and the gynoecial surface was studied using SEM. The stamens of the female flowers are largely intact, but do not produce pollen, whereas the gynoecium of the male flowers is highly reduced though develops ovules lacking an embryo sac. The morphologically rather unreduced stamens of the female flower may have undergone a shift of function from producing pollen towards attracting pollinators by optical signals. The outer parenchyma of the gynoecium is strongly stained and after fertilisation, one through three ovules are maturing towards seeds. The presence of more than a single seed enclosed in the undivided endocarp is rare in Cordiaceae.

description: We propose a novel approach to the confinement-deconfinement transition in Yang-Mills theories in the context of gauge-fixed calculations. The method is based on a background-field generalisation of the Landau gauge (to which it reduces at vanishing temperature) with a given, center-symmetric background. This is to be contrasted with most implementations of background field methods in gauge theories, where one uses a variable, self-consistent background. Our proposal is a bona fide gauge fixing that can easily be implemented on the lattice and in continuum approaches. The resulting gauge-fixed action explicitly exhibits the center symmetry of the nonzero temperature theory that controls the confinement-deconfinement transition. We show that, in that gauge, the electric susceptibility diverges at a second order transition [e.g., in the SU(2) theory], so that the gluon propagator is a clear probe of the transition. We implement our proposal in the perturbative Curci-Ferrari model, known for its successful description of various infrared aspects of Yang-Mills theories, including the confinement-deconfinement transition. Our one-loop calculation confirms our general expectation for the susceptibility while providing transition temperatures in excellent agreement with the SU(2) and SU(3) lattice values. Finally, the Polyakov loops above the transition show a more moderate rise, in contrast to previous implementations of the Curci-Ferrari model using a self-consistent background, and our SU(3) result agrees quite well with lattice results in the range $[0,2T_c]$.

description: Результаты целого ряда исследований свидетельствуют о нелинейном характере глобального процесса демографической модернизации и проблематизируют неоднозначность этого процесса в разных его проявлениях. В статье представлены результаты качественного исследования, которые дают возможность дополнить некоторые характеристики этой проблемы. На основе автобиографических нарративов женщин двух поколений анализируются изменения в семейных и гендерных отношениях в постсоветское время. В статье обсуждаются следующие вопросы: устойчивость традиционных норм и ценностей в семейных и гендерных отношениях, противоречивое сочетание традиционных норм и ценностей с эгалитарными установками советской эмансипации, противоречия между представлениями женщин о семейных и гендерных отношениях и реальными практиками их семейной жизни. Автор делает выводы, что в постсоветское время происходят изменения во взглядах женщин на семейные и гендерные отношения, которые характеризуются усилением независимости и прагматических ориентаций в этих отношениях. Эти изменения автор рассматривает как одну из определяющих тенденций глобального процесса демографической модернизации — индивидуализацию частной жизни современного человека.

description: In the last 20 years, several major terror attacks conducted in the name of political Islam hit Western Europe. We examine the impact of such terror attacks on hostile behaviour on social media from a cross-national perspective. To this end, we draw upon time-stamped, behavioural data from YouTube and focus on the frequency and popularity (‘likes’) of ethnically insulting comments among a corpus of approximately one hundred thousand comments. We study aggregate change and use individual-level panel data to investigate within-user change in ethnic insulting in periods leading up to and following major terror events in Germany, France and the UK. Results indicate that terror attacks boost interest in immigration-related topics in general, and lead to a disproportional increase in hate speech in particular. Moreover, we find that attack effects spill over to other countries in several, but not all, instances. Deeper analyses suggest, however, that this pattern is mainly driven by changes in the composition of users and not by changing behaviour of individual users. That is, a surge in ethnic insulting comes from hateful users newly entering online discussions, rather than previous users becoming more hateful following an attack.

description: We show that measuring the velocity components of hypervelocity stars (HVSs) can discriminate between modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) and Newtonian gravity. HVSs are ejected from the Galactic center on radial trajectories with a null tangential velocity component in the reference frame of the Galaxy. They acquire tangential components due to the nonspherical components of the Galactic gravitational potential. Axisymmetric potentials only affect the latitudinal components, $v_θ$, and non-null azimuthal components, $v_ϕ$, originate from non-axisymmetric matter distributions. For HVSs with sufficiently high ejection speed, $v_ϕ$ is proportionate to the deviation of the gravitational potential from axial symmetry. The ejection velocity threshold is $\sim$ 750 km/s for 4 $M_{\odot}$ stars and increases with decreasing HVS mass. We determine the upper limit of $v_ϕ$ as a function of the galactocentric distance for these high-speed HVSs if QUMOND, the quasi-linear formulation of MOND, is the correct theory of gravity and either the triaxial Galactic bulge or a nonspherical hot gaseous halo is the primary source of $v_ϕ$. In Newtonian gravity, the HVSs within 60 kpc of the Galactic center may easily have $v_ϕ$ values higher than the QUMOND upper limit if the dark matter (DM) halo is triaxial or if the DM halo and the baryonic components are axisymmetric but their two axes of symmetry are misaligned. Therefore, even a limited sample of high-speed HVSs could distinguish between QUMOND and the DM model. This test is currently limited by (i) the lack of a proper procedure to assess the HVS nature of a star in the model to be constrained; and (ii) the present uncertainties on $v_ϕ$, which are a factor of $\sim 10$ too large. A proper procedure to assess the HVS nature of the stars and astrometric measurements with microarcsecond precision would make this test feasible.

description: Habermas’s argument from human nature, which speaks in favour of holding back the use of human germline editing for purposes of enhancement, has lately received criticism anew. Prominent are objections to its supposedly genetic essentialist and determinist framework, which underestimates social impacts on human development. I argue that this criticism originates from an instrumentalist reading of Habermas’s argument, which wrongly focuses on empirical conditions and means-ends-relations. Drawing on Habermas’s distinction of a threefold use of practical reason, I show how an alternative—the ethical—reading avoids essentialist and determinist objections by addressing an existential level of sense making. I present three reasons that speak in favour of the ethical reading and I demonstrate how it incorporates social aspects of character formation. Habermas’s account therefore offers exactly what the critics claim is missing. The paper concludes with a conceptual challenge that the ethical reading has to face within Habermas’s overall approach to genetic engineering.

description: A detector emulator method has been developed. It allows for testing any readout electronics with realistic detector-like signals under controlled conditions, beyond the limits of any experiment based on radiation sources. It can substitute for expensive test-beam campaigns, or predict their results. The detector emulator is a powerful tool for the engineering of detector concepts, with its capability to reproduce any detector signal feature to test the electronics response. Here, the method is applied to the case of the VMM3a ASIC tested with sTGC detector emulated signals. Measurements of charge spectra and muon detection efficiency under intense gamma background are reproduced. The effect of different attenuation circuits is studied.

description: Welfare is traditionally understood as social security decommodifying labour markets or as social investment policies. In the domain of housing, however, welfare for homeowners is largely hidden in the tax codes’ fiscal exemptions. Based on a content analysis of legislation, this article introduces a novel yearly database of 37 countries between 1901 and 2020 to uncover the “hidden welfare state” of taxes on imputed rent, deductibility of mortgage payments, housing capital gains tax, and value-added tax on newly built dwellings. Summary indices of homeownership attractiveness and neutrality of the tax code show that fiscal homeownership policies have been in decline until the 1980s and risen ever since. They are in place where finance is liberally and labour restrictively regulated. Contrary to the classical welfare state, they are not associated with an economic logic of industrialism or left-wing governments. They rather are an alternative to rent regulation used by Common-law jurisdictions or smaller countries. As welfare for property owners, the logic of fiscal homeownership welfare diverges from the classical welfare for the labouring classes.

description: This study quantifies the distributional effects of the minimum wage introduced in Germany in 2015. Using detailed Socio-Economic Panel survey data, we assess changes in the hourly wages, working hours, and monthly wages of employees who were entitled to be paid the minimum wage. We employ a difference-in-differences analysis, exploiting regional variation in the “bite” of the minimum wage. At the bottom of the hourly wage distribution, we document wage growth of 9% in the short term and 21% in the medium term. At the same time, we find a reduction in working hours, such that the increase in hourly wages does not lead to a subortionate increase in monthly wages. We conclude that working hours adjustments play an important role in the distributional effects of minimum wages.

description: Ultracold assembly of diatomic molecules has enabled great advances in controlled chemistry, ultracold chemical physics, and quantum simulation with molecules. Extending the ultracold association to triatomic molecules will offer many new research opportunities and challenges in these fields. A possible approach is to form triatomic molecules in the ultracold atom and diatomic molecule mixture by employing the Feshbach resonance between them. Although the ultracold atom-diatomic-molecule Feshbach resonances have been observed recently, utilizing these resonances to form triatomic molecules remains challenging. Here we report on the evidence of the association of triatomic molecules near the Feshbach resonances between $^{23}$Na$^{40}$K molecules in the rovibrational ground state and $^{40}$K atoms. We apply a radio-frequency pulse to drive the free-bound transition and monitor the loss of $^{23}$Na$^{40}$K molecules. The association of triatomic molecules manifests itself as an additional loss feature in the radio-frequency spectra, which can be distinguished from the atomic loss feature.The binding energy of triatomic molecule is estimated from the measurement. Our work is helpful to understand the complex ultracold atom-molecule Feshbach resonance and may open up an avenue towards the preparation and control of ultracold triatomic molecules.

description: We investigate the nuclear pasta phases in neutron star crusts by conducting a large number of three-dimensional Hartree-Fock+BCS calculations at densities leading to the crust-core transition. We survey the shape parameter space of pasta at constant pressure. Spaghetti, waffles, lasagna, bi-continuous phases and cylindrical holes occupy local minima in the resulting Gibbs energy surfaces. The bi-continuous phase, in which both the neutron gas and nuclear matter extend continuously in all dimensions and therefore protons are delocalized, appears over a large range of depths. Our results support the idea that nuclear pasta is a glassy system. Multiple pasta configurations coexist in a given layer of the crust. At a characteristic temperature, of order $10^8$-$10^9$K, different phases become frozen into domains whose sizes we estimate to be 1-50 times the lattice spacing and over which the local density and electron fraction can vary. Above this temperature, there is very little long-range order and matter is an amorphous solid. Electron scattering off domain boundaries may contribute to the disorder resistivity of the pasta phases. Annealing of the domains may occur during cooling; repopulating of local minima during crustal heating might lead to temperature dependent transport properties in the deep layers of the crust. We identify 4 distinct regions: (1) nuclear pasta first appears as a local minima, but spherical nuclei are the ground state; (2) nuclear pasta become the absolute minimum, but spherical nuclei are still a local minimum (3) only nuclear pasta appears in local minima, and protons are still localized in at least one dimension (4) only pasta appears, and protons are delocalized. The whole pasta region can occupy up to 70% of the crust by mass and 40% by thickness, and the layer in which protons are delocalized could occupy 45% of the crust mass and 25% of its thickness.

description: We present a mechanism for accelerated expansion of the universe in the generic case of negative-curvature compactifications of M-theory, with minimal ingredients. M-theory on a hyperbolic manifold with small closed geodesics supporting Casimir energy -- along with a single classical source (7-form flux) -- contains an immediate 3-term structure for volume stabilization at positive potential energy. Hyperbolic manifolds are well-studied mathematically, with an important rigidity property at fixed volume. They and their Dehn fillings to more general Einstein spaces exhibit explicit discrete parameters that yield small closed geodesics supporting Casimir energy. The off-shell effective potential derived by M. Douglas incorporates the warped product structure via the constraints of general relativity, screening negative energy. Analyzing the fields sourced by the localized Casimir energy and the available discrete choices of manifolds and fluxes, we find a regime where the net curvature, Casimir energy, and flux compete at large radius and stabilize the volume. Further metric and form field deformations are highly constrained by hyperbolic rigidity and warping effects, leading to calculations giving strong indications of a positive Hessian, and residual tadpoles are small. We test this via explicit back reacted solutions and perturbations in patches including the Dehn filling regions, initiate a neural network study of further aspects of the internal fields, and derive a Maldacena-Nunez style no-go theorem for Anti-de Sitter extrema. A simple generalization incorporating 4-form flux produces axion monodromy inflation. As a relatively simple de Sitter uplift of the large-N M2-brane theory, the construction applies to de Sitter holography as well as to cosmological modeling, and introduces new connections between mathematics and the physics of string/M theory compactifications.

description: We consider 1D integrable systems supporting ballistic propagation of excitations, perturbed by a localised defect that breaks most conservation laws and induces chaotic dynamics. Focusing on classical systems, we study an out-of-equilibrium protocol engineered activating the defect in an initially homogeneous and far from the equilibrium state. We find that large enough defects induce full thermalisation at their center, but nonetheless the outgoing flow of carriers emerging from the defect is non-thermal due to a generalization of the celebrated Boundary Thermal Resistance effect, occurring at the edges of the chaotic region. Our results are obtained combining ab-initio numerical simulations for relatively small-sized defects, with the solution of the Boltzmann equation, which becomes exact in the scaling limit of large, but weak defects.

description: Over the last two decades, community pharmacy has experienced major changes as the role of pharmacists is evolving from a product to a service and a patient focus. As part of this change, new and innovative clinical pharmacy services aimed at improving medicines use and patient outcomes have been designed, both nationally and internationally. Since June 2022, five services are reimbursed by all statutory health insurance funds and private insurance companies in Germany: medication review for patients with polymedication; blood pressure control in hypertension; assuring proper inhalation techniques for patients receiving a new device or a device change; medication review including a follow-up for patients taking oral anticancer drugs or immunosuppressants post-transplantation. Beyond reimbursement, the upscaling and sustainable provision of these professional services are now the main challenges. Implementation research will provide important information for the further development of pharmaceutical care programs.

description: In this paper we study the application of holographic entanglement negativity proposal for bipartite states in the 2d Galilean conformal field theory ($GCFT_2$) dual to bulk asymptotically flat spacetimes in the context of generalized minimal massive gravity (GMMG) model. $GCFT_2$ is considered on the boundary side of the duality and the bulk gravity is described by GMMG that is asymptotically symmetric under the Galilean conformal transformations. In this paper, the replica technique, based on the two-point and the four-point twist correlators, is utilized and the entanglement entropy and the entanglement negativity are obtained in the bipartite configurations of the system in the boundary.
