description: We study null 1/4 BPS deformations of flat domain wall solutions (NDDW) in N=2, d=5 gauged supergravity with hypermultiplets and vector multiplets coupled. These are uncharged time-dependent configurations and contain as special case, 1/2 supersymmetric flat domain walls (DW), as well as 1/2 BPS null solutions of the ungauged supergravity. Combining our analysis with the classification method initiated by Gauntlett et al., we prove that all the possible deformations of the DW have origin in the hypermultiplet sector or/and are null. Here, we classify all the null deformations: we show that they naturally organize themselves into "gauging" (v-deformation) and "non gauging" (u-deformation). They have different properties: only in presence of v-deformation is the solution supported by a time-dependent scalar potential. Furthermore we show that the number of possible deformations equals the number of matter multiplets coupled. We discuss the general procedure for constructing explicit solutions, stressing the crucial role taken by the integrability conditions of the scalars as spacetime functions. Two analytical solutions are presented. Finally, we comment on the holographic applications of the NDDW, in relation to the recently proposed time-dependent AdS/CFT.

description: The CatWISE2020 Catalog consists of 1,890,715,640 sources over the entire sky selected from WISE and NEOWISE survey data at 3.4 and 4.6 $μ$m (W1 and W2) collected from 2010 Jan. 7 to 2018 Dec. 13. This dataset adds two years to that used for the CatWISE Preliminary Catalog (Eisenhardt et al., 2020), bringing the total to six times as many exposures spanning over sixteen times as large a time baseline as the AllWISE catalog. The other major change from the CatWISE Preliminary Catalog is that the detection list for the CatWISE2020 Catalog was generated using ${\it crowdsource}$ (Schlafly et al. 2019), while the CatWISE Preliminary Catalog used the detection software used for AllWISE. These two factors result in roughly twice as many sources in the CatWISE2020 Catalog. The scatter with respect to ${\it Spitzer}$ photometry at faint magnitudes in the COSMOS field, which is out of the Galactic plane and at low ecliptic latitude (corresponding to lower WISE coverage depth) is similar to that for the CatWISE Preliminary Catalog. The 90% completeness depth for the CatWISE2020 Catalog is at W1=17.7 mag and W2=17.5 mag, 1.7 mag deeper than in the CatWISE Preliminary Catalog. From comparison to ${\it Gaia}$, CatWISE2020 motions are accurate at the 20 mas yr$^{-1}$ level for W1$\sim$15 mag sources, and at the $\sim100$ mas yr$^{-1}$ level for W1$\sim$17 mag sources. This level of precision represents a 12$\times$ improvement over AllWISE. The CatWISE catalogs are available in the WISE/NEOWISE Enhanced and Contributed Products area of the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive.

description: We report experimental measurements of Lagrangian accelerations in the bulk of intense turbulent flows of dilute polymer solutions by following tracer particles with a high-speed optical tracking system. We observed a significant decrease in the acceleration variance in dilute polymer solutions. The shape of the normalized acceleration probability density functions, however, remain the same as in Newtonian water flows. We also observed an increase in the turbulent Lagrangian acceleration autocorrelation time in these dilute polymer solutions.

description: We propose a novel approach to achieve giant AHE in materials with flat bands (FBs). FBs are accompanied by small electronic bandwidths, which consequently increases the momentum separation ($K$) within pair of Weyl points and thus the integrated Berry curvature. Starting from a simple model with a single pair of Weyl nodes, we demonstrated the increase of $K$ and AHE by decreasing bandwidth. It is further expanded to a realistic pyrochlore lattice model with characteristic double degenerated FBs, where we discovered a giant AHE while maximizing the $K$ with nearly vanishing band dispersion of FBs. We identify that such model system can be realized in both pyrochlore and spinel compounds based on first-principles calculations, validating our theoretical model and providing a feasible platform for experimental exploration.

description: On the basis of the PSRPOPPY software package, we developed an evolution model of population synthesis for isolated radio pulsars by incorporating the fan beam model, an alternative radio emission beam model to the widely used conal beam model. With proper choice of related models and parameters, we succesfully reproduced the observational distributions of Galactic longitude ($l$) and latitude ($b$), spin period, period derivative, dispersion measure and 1.4-GHz flux density for the 1214 isolated pulsars discovered by the Parkes multibeam and Swinburne pulsar surveys. The number of underlying population of radio-loud pulsars is found to be $2.27\times10^6$, which is larger than the underlying population of radio-loud pulsars simulated with conal beam model. The model is used to estimate the number of isolated radio pulsars detected by the Galactic-plane pulsar survey with Five hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST). Approximately 2700 and 240 new isolated pulsars are expected to be discovered in the inner galactic plane ($20^{\circ} < l < 90^{\circ}$, $|b| < 10^{\circ}$) and the outer galactic plane ($150^{\circ} < l < 210^{\circ}$, $|b| < 10^{\circ}$), respectively. These numbers are smaller than those estimated by the evolution models with conal beam and the snapshot models.

description: A study was conducted to investigate the anti-diabetic and anti-urease potential of Osbeckia nutans leaves (ONL). Six compounds, i.e. quercetin-3-O-glucoside, myricetin, shikimic acid, catechin, trans-ferulic acid and luteolin were identified from the butanol sub-fraction, BE2 and the ethyl acetate sub-fraction, EA5 of ONL. BE2 inhibited α-glucosidase and Jack bean urease with IC50 values of 0.036 μg/mL (437.46 μg/mL for acarbose) and 0.327 mg/mL (0.039 mg/mL for thiourea), respectively. In the glucose uptake experiment, BE2 (0.05 mg/mL) treatment resulted in a substantial increase in glucose uptake in free fatty acid (FFA)-treated cells at a concentration 10 times lower than that seen in EA5 (0.5 mg/mL) treated cells. The binding energies of quercetin-3-O-glucoside with α-glucosidase, glucose transporter GLUT4 and H. pylori urease were found to be −94.2585, −219.8271 and −254.391 kcal/mol, respectively. This study revealed that ONL has anti-diabetic and anti-urease abilities and further in-depth research may unveil its full potential.

description: The transmission of acetylcholine (ACh) is critically important for memory, learning, and behaviour. The most promising approaches for the treatment of cholinergic dysfunction involve the enhancement of ACh via nootropic phytomolecules. In the same line, the present study identifies the active molecule Bakuchiol derived from Psoralea corylifolia. Bakuchiol demonstrated significant elevation of ACh transmission, reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and extension of lifespan. Further investigation indicated that modulation of mRNA expression of genes encoding choline transporter, choline acetyltransferase, and acetylcholine transporter as possible effectors of amassed neural transmission. Moreover, Bakuchiol showed efficacy in reducing amyloid β and lipid levels, possibly through the upregulation of heat shock transcription factor 1 (hsf-1) and autophagy (lgg-1) genes. Overall, our findings establish the efficacy of Bakuchiol in modulating cholinergic dysfunction.

description: Using a unified approach, we show how precautionary saving, self-protection and self-insurance are jointly determined by risk preferences and the preference over the timing of uncertainty resolution. We cover higher-order risk effects and examine both risk averters and risk lovers. When decision-makers use several instruments simultaneously to respond to income risk, substitutive interaction effects arise. We quantify precautionary and substitution effects numerically and discuss the role of instrument interaction for the inference of preference parameters from precautionary motives. Instruments can differ substantially in the size of the precautionary motive and in the susceptibility to substitution effects. This affects their suitability for the identification of precautionary preferences.

description: We present observations of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 050408, a gamma-ray burst discovered by HETE-II. Swift began observing the field 42 min after the burst, performing follow-up over a period of 38 d (thus spanning three decades in time).The X-ray light curve showed a steepening with time, similar to many other afterglows. However, the steepening was unusually smooth, over the duration of the XRT observation, with no clear break time. The early decay was too flat to be described in terms of standard models. We therefore explore alternative explanations, such as the presence of a structured afterglow or of long-lasting energy injection into the fireball from the central GRB engine. The lack of a sharp break puts constraints on these two models. In the former case, it may indicate that the angular energy profile of the jet was not a simple power law, while in the second model it implies that injection did not stop abruptly. The late decay may be due either to a standard afterglow (that is, with no energy injection), or to a jetted outflow still being refreshed. A significant amount of absorption was present in the X-ray spectrum, corresponding to a rest-frame Hydrogen column density NH = 1.2 (-0.3,+0.4)*10^22 cm^-2, indicative of a dense environment.

description: Thirty-four phytochemicals were isolated from dry tubers of Bletilla striata Rchb.f. The compounds were classified as bibenzyls 1–14, dihydrophenanthrenes 15, 17, 20, 21, phenanthrenes 16, 18, 19, simple benzoids 22–24, a fatty acid 25, glucosyloxybenzyl 2-isobutylmalates 26–32, and glucosyloxybenzyl cinnamates 33, 34. Compounds 1–4, 7, 8, 11, 12, and 16 inhibited melanogenesis (17.96–55.27%) induced by α-MSH in B16F10 cells at 10–40 μM. However, compounds 9, 10, 17, 18, and 21 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against melanomas, with IC50 values of 12–34 μM. Additionally, compounds 15, 17, 19, 20, 23, 31, and 33 reduced the ROS generation induced by H2O2 in HaCaT cells at 6.25–100 μM. In particular, compounds 15, 19, and 20 strongly inhibited ROS generation, with IC50 values of 2.15–9.48 μM. Consequently, compounds 1–4, 7–12, and 15–21 may be the strongest leads to follow in B. striata extract for further research on the skin disorders, hyperpigmentation, melanoma, and ageing.

description: We report on the development of a compact commercial instrument for measuring carotenoids in skin tissue. The instrument uses two light emitting diodes (LEDs) for dual-wavelength excitation and four photomultiplier tubes for multichannel detection. Bandpass filters are used to select the excitation and detection wavelengths. The f/1.3 optical system has high optical throughput and single photon sensitivity, both of which are crucial in LED-based Raman measurements. We employ a signal processing technique that compensates for detector drift and error. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the LED Raman instrument compares favorably to laser-based Raman spectrometers. This compact, portable instrument is used for non-invasive measurement of carotenoid molecules in human skin with a repeatability better than 10%.

description: Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is a nutrient-rich vegetable that is widely cultivated and consumed in Pakistan in both raw and processed form. Data on the proximate composition and natural occurrence of aflatoxins (AFs) in carrots and marketed carrot products is lacking in Pakistan and the risk exposure of AF has not been characterised before. Thus, the current study was designed to know the frequently consumed carrot products with per capita consumption, and risk assessment of AF through these products in various regions of South Punjab Pakistan. A survey was conducted with 125 respondents and appeared that raw carrot, fresh carrot juice, gajrella and pickle are the most frequently consumed marketed carrot products with per capita consumption i.e. 62.5, 46.6, 16.2 and 14.5 gday-1, respectively. Proximate analysis revealed that carrot root and processed carrot products contained 9.65–98.2% moisture, 0.23–0.60% ash, 6.2–14.1% carbohydrates, 0.31–0.80% protein, 0.40–3.7% fat and 1.4–4.20% fibre. AF analysis revealed that 36.67% of samples were contaminated with TAF. Thirty-five (35%) percent of samples were tainted with aflatoxin B1, and 13.33% of samples were contaminated with aflatoxin B2. All the samples of carrot root, fresh carrot juice and gajrella contained TAF levels less than the maximum limit (ML) (2 ppb) assigned by the European Union (EU). However, the entire AFB1 positive samples of carrot pickle contained AFB1 levels of more than 2 ppb exceeding the ML. Furthermore, daily dietary exposure of TAFs ranged from 0.11 to 1.27 ng/kg of body weight per day which relatively exceeds the permissible limit of 1 ng/kg of body weight per day as defined by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. This is the first prevalence and risk assessment report of AF in marketed processed carrot products in Pakistan. These baseline data are an initial step in the effort to deal with this significant food safety issue and the establishment of legislation for AF in marketed products is needed in Pakistan.

description: Abridged: Subaru Deep Field line-emitting galaxies in four narrow-band filters at low and intermediate redshifts are presented. Broad-band colors, follow-up optical spectroscopy, and multiple NB filters are used to distinguish Ha, [O II], and [O III] emitters between redshifts of 0.07 and 1.47 to construct their luminosity functions (LFs). These LFs are derived down to faint magnitudes, which allows for a more accurate determination of the faint end slope. With a large (N~200-900) sample for each redshift interval, a Schechter profile is fitted to each LF. Prior to dust extinction corrections, the [O III] and [O II] LFs reported in this paper agree reasonably well with those of Hippelein et al. The z=0.08 Ha LF, which reaches two orders of magnitude fainter than Gallego et al., is steeper by 25%. This indicates that there are more low luminosity star-forming galaxies for z<0.1. The faint end slope αand ϕ_{\star} show a strong evolution with redshift while L_{\star} show little evolution. The evolution in αindicates that low-luminosity galaxies have a stronger evolution compared to brighter ones. Integrated star formation rate densities are derived via Ha, [O III], and [O II] for 0.071, the star-formation rate densities are more or less constant. The latter is consistent with previous UV and [O II] measurements. Below z<0.4, the SFR densities are consistent with several Ha, [O II], and UV measurements, but other measurements are a factor of two higher. For example, the z=0.066-0.092 Ha LF agrees with those of Jones & Bland-Hawthorn, but at z=0.24 and 0.40, their number density is higher by a factor of two. This discrepancy can be explained by cosmic variance.

description: This report introduces the REFLOW Framework as a supportive model to enable agency and participation of municipalities, SMEs, and citizens’ associations in the development of CE practices and governance. After introducing the key terminology informing the REFLOW's understanding of cities' transition towards CE, this deliverable provides the most updated version of the REFLOW Pilot Cities’ Circular Action Plans, including their final list of key performance indicators, and main implementation challenges encountered so far. Based on insights from research and practice, as well as from the experience of the first two years of the REFLOW project, the REFLOW Framework integrates key concepts from systems thinking, management accounting, iterative design, and Circular Economy research to understand and describe circular transitions in cities. As a supportive model, the REFLOW Framework enables to unpack the inherent complexity characterising cities' transitions towards Circular Economy, and inform management, governance and implementation of Cities' Circular Action Plans. The Framework described in this deliverable will serve as a baseline to support Cities' Ecosystem Design and the development of the REFLOW Legacy in the last year of the project.
Dilemmas of cooperative learning: Chinese students in a Canadian school
Creators: name: Liang, Xiaoping
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Research in cooperative learning in education generally and second language education in particular has documented the apparently successful and simultaneous achievement of a number of educational goals. For second language learners, these goals include developing the second language (L2), maintaining the first language (L1), and acquiring content knowledge. However, little research has examined the opinions of the learners themselves with regard to cooperative learning together with the process of cooperative interaction. This study explores the opinions and interactions of Chinese immigrant students engaging in cooperative learning in English as a second language (ESL) classes. Drawing on qualitative research and discourse analysis traditions, the study used multiple methods of data collection in a Canadian secondary school ESL program: (1) individual interviews were carried out with 49 Chinese students; (2) 120 hours of observations in natural classroom settings were conducted; and (3) 30 hours of audio taped recordings of Chinese students' interactions during cooperative learning activities were also analyzed. The findings of the study present a complex picture of cooperative learning in the ESL classroom. The Chinese students seemed to be sitting on the horns of cooperative learning dilemmas between cooperation and individualism, between achieving results and sharing understandings of the task, and between using L1 to help with L2 / content learning and developing L2 for academic purposes. Particularly with cooperative learning goals of developing L2, maintaining L1, and acquiring content knowledge, Chinese students had difficult choices to make between developing L2 and maintaining L1, between using L1 for academic language and developing academic language in L2, and between learning content in L1 and learning content in L2. At a detailed level, tensions and dilemmas that Chinese students confronted appear to be intrinsic to the simultaneous pursuit of the three cooperative learning goals claimed for L2 learners. Cummins' (1991b, 1992) bilingual proficiency theory, which offers a possible theoretical model of how these goals are related, needs to address the various conflicts and dilemmas involved in these three cooperative learning goals. While recognizing other contributing factors, this work suggests that cooperative learning dilemmas may arise from conflicts of socially shared values and beliefs, and that discrepancies between Chinese students' home educational culture and their present Canadian secondary school culture add a layer of complexity to the dilemmatic situation of cooperative learning in an ESL context.

description: The commercialization of lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) wafer has sparked significant on-chip photonic integration application due to its remarkable photonic, photoacoustic, electro-optic and piezoelectric nature. A variety of on-chip LNOI-based optical devices with high performance has been realized in recent years. Here we developed 1 mol\% erbium-doped LN crystal and its LNOI wafer, and fabricated an erbium-doped LNOI microdisk with high quality ($ \sim $ 1.05$\times 10^{^5}$ ). C-band laser emission with $ \sim $1530 nm and $ \sim $1560 nm from the high-Q erbium-doped LNOI microdisk was demonstrated both with 974 nm and 1460 nm pumping, and the latter has better thermal stability. This microlaser would play an important role in the photonic integrated circuits of lithium niobate platform.

description: We theoretically investigate estimation of the control parameter in a ferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate near second order quantum phase transitions. We quantify sensitivity by quantum and classical Fisher information and using the error-propagation formula. For these different metrics, we find the same, beyond-standard-quantum-limit (SQL) scaling with atom number near critical points, and SQL scaling away from critical points. We find that both depletion of the $m_f=0$ Zeeman sub-level and transverse magnetization provide signals of sufficient quality to saturate the sensitivity scaling. To explore the effect of experimental imperfections, we study the scaling around criticality at nonzero temperature and with nonzero detection noise. Our results suggest the feasibility of sub-SQL sensing in ferromagnetic condensates with current experimental capabilities.

description: De Finetti's classical result of [18] identifying the law of an exchangeable family of random variables as a mixture of i.i.d. laws was extended to structure theorems for more complex notions of exchangeability by Aldous [1,2,3], Hoover [41,42], Kallenberg [44] and Kingman [47]. On the other hand, such exchangeable laws were first related to questions from combinatorics in an independent analysis by Fremlin and Talagrand [29], and again more recently in Tao [62], where they appear as a natural proxy for the `leading order statistics' of colourings of large graphs or hypergraphs. Moreover, this relation appears implicitly in the study of various more bespoke formalisms for handling `limit objects' of sequences of dense graphs or hypergraphs in a number of recent works, including Lovász and Szegedy [52], Borgs, Chayes, Lovász, Sós, Szegedy and Vesztergombi [17], Elek and Szegedy [24] and Razborov [54,55]. However, the connection between these works and the earlier probabilistic structural results seems to have gone largely unappreciated. In this survey we recall the basic results of the theory of exchangeable laws, and then explain the probabilistic versions of various interesting questions from graph and hypergraph theory that their connection motivates (particularly extremal questions on the testability of properties for graphs and hypergraphs). We also locate the notions of exchangeability of interest to us in the context of other classes of probability measures subject to various symmetries, in particular contrasting the methods employed to analyze exchangeable laws with related structural results in ergodic theory, particular the Furstenberg-Zimmer structure theorem for probability-preserving $\mathbb {Z}$-systems, which underpins Furstenberg's ergodic-theoretic proof of Szemerédi's Theorem. The forthcoming paper [10]--hereditarytest will make a much more elaborate appeal to the link between exchangeable laws and dense (directed) hypergraphs to establish various results in property testing.

description: The surface roughness between the wheel and rail has a huge influence on rolling noise level. The presence of the third body such as frost or grease at wheel-rail interface contributes towards change in adhesion coefficient resulting in the generation of noise at various levels. Therefore, it is possible to estimate adhesion conditions between the wheel and rail from the analysis of noise patterns originating from wheel-rail interaction. In this study, a new approach to estimate adhesion condition is proposed which takes rolling noise as input.

description: We calculate the spin relaxation rates in a parabolic InSb quantum dots due to the spin interaction with acoustical phonons. We considered the deformation potential mechanism as the dominant electron-phonon coupling in the Pavlov-Firsov spin-phonon Hamiltonian. By studying suitable choices of magnetic field and lateral dot size, we determine regions where the spin relaxation rates can be practically suppressed. We analyze the behavior of the spin relaxation rates as a function of an external magnetic field and mean quantum dot radius. Effects of the spin admixture due to Dresselhaus contribution to spin-orbit interaction are also discussed.

description: WHO declared severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2’ (SARS-CoV-2) was global health emergency since 2020. In our study eighteen natural compounds were investigated for possible anti–SARS-CoV-2 potential, where the most potent natural compounds were ursolic acid and dioscin with IC50 value of 4.49 µg/mL and 7.11 µg/mL, respectively. Hesperidin, catechin, diosmin, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside and hyperoside showed medium antiviral activity with IC50 value of 20.87, 22.57, 38.92, 39.62 and 47.10 µg/mL, respectively. Molecular modelling studies including docking study and predictive ADME study were performed on all tested molecules. Their binding energies after docking were calculated and their orientations at the active sites of both SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) and spike (S) receptors were visualised and compared to the downloaded ligands. Also, the predictive ADME studies showed good pharmacokinetic properties of most of the tested compounds. The obtained in silico results obtained confirmed that many of the tested compounds are promising SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors.

description: The classical uniformization theorem states that any simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to the disk, the plane, or the sphere, each equipped with a standard conformal structure. We give a similar uniformization for Ahlfors 2-regular, linearly locally connected metric planes; instead of conformal equivalence, we are concerned with quasisymmetric equivalence.

description: Quantum entanglement is a key resource for quantum computation and quantum communication \cite{Nielsen2010}. Scaling to large quantum communication or computation networks further requires the deterministic generation of multi-qubit entanglement \cite{Gottesman1999,Duan2001,Jiang2007}. The deterministic entanglement of two remote qubits has recently been demonstrated with microwave photons \cite{Kurpiers2018,Axline2018,Campagne2018,Leung2019,Zhong2019}, optical photons \cite{Humphreys2018} and surface acoustic wave phonons \cite{Bienfait2019}. However, the deterministic generation and transmission of multi-qubit entanglement has not been demonstrated, primarily due to limited state transfer fidelities. Here, we report a quantum network comprising two separate superconducting quantum nodes connected by a 1 meter-long superconducting coaxial cable, where each node includes three interconnected qubits. By directly connecting the coaxial cable to one qubit in each node, we can transfer quantum states between the nodes with a process fidelity of $0.911\pm0.008$. Using the high-fidelity communication link, we can prepare a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state \cite{Greenberger1990,Neeley2010,Dicarlo2010} in one node and deterministically transfer this state to the other node, with a transferred state fidelity of $0.656\pm 0.014$. We further use this system to deterministically generate a two-node, six-qubit GHZ state, globally distributed within the network, with a state fidelity of $0.722\pm0.021$. The GHZ state fidelities are clearly above the threshold of $1/2$ for genuine multipartite entanglement \cite{Guhne2010}, and show that this architecture can be used to coherently link together multiple superconducting quantum processors, providing a modular approach for building large-scale quantum computers \cite{Monroe2014,Chou2018}.

title: The Insecurity of ‘The Commons’: An ethnographic study of a youth club in the North of England

description: It is argued that children and young people are facing a period of disinvestment from society as they bear the brunt of welfare and social cuts that restricts their ability to participate meaningfully in their lives. This study explores what really matters to young people living in an area hard hit by Government cuts. In order to do so, I adopted an interpretivist qualitative approach that would allow young people to direct the topic of the research. What follows is an ethnographic account of a fourteen-month period of ethnographic fieldwork, using flexible participatory methods including photo-elicitation and focus groups, at a youth club in a disadvantaged neighbourhood of a mid-size town in the North of England. The findings reflect the diverse, and situated, interests and concerns of young people. Firstly, the role of place was important as young people negotiated conflicting views of the neighbourhood as both safe and unsafe. Importantly, it shows that young people, who already experience disadvantage, are subject to greater insecurity through austerity measures. Second, young black men in the neighbourhood are subject to increased surveillance that excludes them from public space. Therefore, young people use the youth centre as a way to manage this exclusion, and participate in activities that allow them can gain value where otherwise they are granted none. Thirdly, food practices at the youth centre emerge as a care economy amongst young people that help them to manage the conditions of food poverty. Lastly, strategies of inclusion and exclusion around gender norms demonstrate the limitations of belonging. Throughout each chapter, I show how inclusion and exclusion practices emerge, and how these processes relate to age, gender, race, and class. In conclusion, this thesis considers the conditions that enable or constrain young people’s ability to participate in their neighbourhood, and the practices that young people use to establish and maintain worth and inclusion. I show that belonging is conditional and hierarchical, and as much about exclusion as inclusion. Together these findings show the importance of paying attention to young people’s everyday lives and experiences that are fundamental to an understanding of health and inequalities.

description: Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst (Plantaginaceae), is traditionally used in many countries as neural tonic and memory enhancer, or to relieve acute pain and inflammation. This study described the isolation and identification of one new, bacomoside D3 (1), and seven known phenyl glycosides (2 − 8). The structures of isolates were established by analysis of their spectroscopic data or hydrolysis followed by HPLC analysis together with a comparison to those reported in the literature. These compounds were evaluated for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Among them, compounds 4 and 5 exhibited strong DPPH radical scavenging activity with IC50 values of 9.77 ± 0.08 and 3.50 ± 0.04 µM, respectively. Compounds 2 and 5 significantly inhibited TNF-α production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells with IC50 values of 40.60 ± 3.05 and 38.19 ± 1.75 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the active compounds could be efficient inhibitors of oxidants by interfering with the DPPH activity in silico study.
