description: Background: Evidence on the factors influencing caregiving grandparents’ energy-expenditure related behaviours is limited, although this knowledge seems imperative in the broader context of healthy aging. Purpose: This explorative qualitative study aimed to identify the determinants of physical activity and sedentary behaviour levels among Flemish caregiving grandparents, both in absence and especially in the presence of their grandchild(ren) aged between 0-5 years. Methods: Six focus group discussions were conducted consisting of 9 grandfathers and 28 grandmothers (60.4±4.0 years). Based on grounded theory, an inductive approach was used to derive subcategories, main categories and themes from the verbatim transcribed data using NVivo R1. Results: Caregiving grandparents’ levels of PA were reported to be influenced by individual factors (e.g. physical health, habits, attitudes), interpersonal factors (e.g. characteristics of the grandchild (such as age, motor development, mood, interests), support of the partner) and physical environmental factors (e.g. weather, duration and timing of care, caregiving environment). Although the caregiving grandparents reported to spent limited time in SB while providing care, the determinants specifying their SB levels during childcare largely overlapped with those of PA. Conclusions: This study showed that for caregiving grandparents the interplay of the abovementioned types of factors facilitates PA while providing care. However, having grandchildren within the 0-5-year age range who are still developing their motor competences result in more inactive moments for the grandparent. Funding: Study funded by 3Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) (individual Fellowship; Fellowship number: FWOTM974).

Spectral invariants, analysis of the Floer moduli spaces and geometry of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group

description: In this paper, we apply spectral invariants, constructed in [Oh5,8], to the study of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of closed symplectic manifolds $(M,ω)$. Using spectral invariants, we first construct an invariant norm called the {\it spectral norm} on the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group and obtain several lower bounds for the spectral norm in terms of the $\e$-regularity theorem and the symplectic area of certain pseudo-holomorphic curves. We then apply spectral invariants to the study of length minimizing properties of certain Hamiltonian paths {\it among all paths}. In addition to the construction of spectral invariants, these applications rely heavily on the {\it chain level Floer theory} and on some existence theorems with energy bounds of pseudo-holomorphic sections of certain Hamiltonian fibrations with prescribed monodromy. The existence scheme that we develop in this paper in turn relies on some careful geometric analysis involving {\it adiabatic degeneration} and {\it thick-thin decomposition} of the Floer moduli spaces which has an independent interest of its own. We assume that $(M,ω)$ is {\it strongly semi-positive} throughout, which will be removed in a sequel.

description: We investigated the spontaneous deformation and fission of a tetradecane droplet containing palmitic acid (PA) on a stearyltrimethylammonium chloride (STAC) aqueous solution. In this system, the generation and rupture of the gel layer composed of PA and STAC induce the droplet deformation and fission.To investigate the characteristics of the droplet-fission dynamics, we obtained the time series of the number of the droplets, and confirmed that the number has a peak at a certain STAC concentration. Since the fission of the droplet should be led by the deformation, we analyzed four parameters which may relate to the fission dynamics from the spatio-temporal correlation of the droplet-boundary velocity. As a result, we found that the faster deformation would be the key factor for the fission dynamics.

description: We analyze the anomalies of superconducting state (both s- and d-wave pairing) in the model of the pseudogap state induced by Heisenberg spin fluctuations of antiferromagnetic short-range order, and based on the scenario of strong scattering near the "hot spots" on the Fermi surface. We present microscopic derivation of Ginzburg-Landau expansion, taking into account all Feynman graphs of perturbation theory for electron interaction with fluctuations of short-range order and in the "ladder" approximation for electron scattering by normal (nonmagnetic) impurities. We determine the dependence of superconducting critical temperature T_c and other characteristics of a superconductor on the parameters of the pseudogap and impurity scattering. It is shown that within this model it is possible to explain the typical phase diagram of high- temperature superconductors.

Only the student of current events, however, is aware of existing irritants in Philippine-American relationship. The writer, a Filipino student, would like to draw attention in this study to the causes of friction between the two countries. His purpose is not to sow seeds of discord, nor to justify or defend a side, but rather to emphasize the fact that these two countries had and will continue to have problems to test their partnership. But because their relationship is founded on mutual trust and loyalty, they have and will always be able to resolve their difficulties satisfactorily.

description: We study a conspicuous ring-like structure with a radius of about 1.4 degrees which was observed with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) at 5 frequencies around 350 MHz. This ring is very prominent in Stokes Q and U, and less so in polarized intensity P. No corresponding structure is visible in total intensity Stokes I, which indicates that the ring is created by Faraday rotation and depolarization processes. The polarization angle changes regularly from the center of the ring outwards to a radius of more than 1.7 degrees. Thus, the structure in polarization angle is not ring-like but resembles a disk, and it is larger than the ring in P. The rotation measure (RM) decreases almost continuously over the disk, from RM = 0 rad/m2 at the edge, to -8 rad/m2 in the center, while outside the ring the RM is slightly positive. This radial variation of RM yields stringent constraints on the nature of the ring-like structure, because it rules out any spherically symmetrical magnetic field configuration, such as might be expected from supernova remnants or wind-blown bubbles. We discuss several possible connections between the ring and known objects in the ISM, and conclude that the ring is a predominantly magnetic funnel-like structure. This description can explain both the field reversal from outside to inside the ring, and the increase in magnitude of RM towards the center of the ring. The ring-structure in P is most likely caused by a lack of depolarization due to a very uniform RM distribution at that radius. Beyond the ring, the RM gradient increases, depolarizing the polarized emission, so that P decreases. In the SW corner of the field a pattern of narrow filaments of low polarization, aligned with Galactic longitude, is observed, indicative of beam depolarization due to abrupt changes in RM.

description: We consider the problem of interacting electrons constrained to move on a fluctuating one-dimensional string. An effective low-energy theory for the electrons is derived by integrating out the string degrees of freedom to lowest order in the inverse of the string tension and mass density, which are assumed to be large. We obtain expressions for the tunneling density of states, the spectral function and the optical conductivity of the system. Possible connections with the phenomenology of the cuprate high temperature superconductors are discussed.

description: Context. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration recently obtained first images of the surroundings of the supermassive compact object M87* at the center of the galaxy M87. Aims. We want to develop a simple analytic disk model for the accretion flow of M87*. Compared to general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) models, it has the advantage of being independent of the turbulent character of the flow, and controlled by only few easy-to-interpret, physically meaningful parameters. We want to use this model to predict the image of M87* assuming that it is either a Kerr black hole, or an alternative compact object. Methods. We compute the synchrotron emission from the disk model and propagate the resulting light rays to the far-away observer by means of relativistic ray tracing. Such computations are performed assuming different spacetimes (Kerr, Minkowski, non-rotating ultracompact star, rotating boson star or Lamy spinning wormhole). We perform numerical fits of these models to the EHT data. Results. We discuss the highly-lensed features of Kerr images and show that they are intrinsically linked to the accretion-flow properties, and not only to gravitation. This fact is illustrated by the notion of secondary ring that we introduce. Our model of spinning Kerr black hole predicts mass and orientation consistent with the EHT interpretation. The non-Kerr images result in similar quality of the numerical fits and may appear very similar to Kerr images, once blurred to the EHT resolution. This implies that a strong test of the Kerr spacetime may be out of reach with the current data. We notice that future developments of the EHT could alter this situation. Conclusions. Our results show the importance of studying alternatives to the Kerr spacetime in order to be able to test the Kerr paradigm unambiguously.

description: We propose a mechanism to realize high-yield molecular formation from ultracold atoms. Atom pairs are continuously excited by a laser, and a collective decay into the molecular ground state is induced by a coupling to a lossy cavity mode. Using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, we demonstrate that the molecular yield can be improved by simply increasing the number of atoms, and can overcome efficiencies of state-of-the-art association schemes. We discuss realistic experimental setups for diatomic polar and nonpolar molecules, opening up collective light matter interactions as a tool for quantum state engineering, enhanced molecule formation, collective dynamics, and cavity mediated chemistry.

description: We study the Internal Linear Combination (ILC) method presented by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) science team, with the goal of determining whether it may be used for cosmological purposes, as a template-free alternative to existing foreground correction methods. We conclude that the method does have the potential to do just that, but great care must be taken both in implementation, and in a detailed understanding of limitations caused by residual foregrounds which can still affect cosmological results. As a first step we demonstrate how to compute the ILC weights both accurately and efficiently by means of Lagrange multipliers, and apply this method to the observed data to produce a new version of the ILC map. Next we describe how to generate Monte Carlo simulations of the ILC map, and find that these agree well with the observed map on angular scales up to l~200. Finally we make two comments to the on-going debates concerning the large-scale properties of the WMAP data. First, we note that the Galactic south-eastern quadrant is associated with notably different ILC weights than the other three quadrants, possibly indicating a foreground related anisotropy. Second, we study the properties of the quadrupole and octopole (amplitude, alignment and planarity), and confirm the previously reported anomalies. Even more interestingly, we find that the l=5 mode is spherically symmetric at about 3 sigma, and that the l=6 mode is planar at the 2 sigma level. However, we also assess the impact of residual foregrounds on these statistics, and find that the ILC map is not clean enough to allow for cosmological conclusions. Alternative methods must be developed to study these issues further.

description: The first three electronically excited states in the alkaline-earth-metal atoms magnesium, calcium, and strontium comprise the (nsnp) triplet P^o_J (J=0,1,2) fine-structure manifold. All three states are metastable and are of interest for optical atomic clocks as well as for cold-collision physics. An efficient technique--based on a physically motivated potential that models the presence of the ionic core--is employed to solve the Schroedinger equation for the two-electron valence shell. In this way, radiative lifetimes, laser-induced clock shifts, and long-range interaction parameters are calculated for metastable Mg, Ca, and Sr.

description: Purpose: To identify the implementation barriers and facilitators of the SLASF programme. Furthermore, to identify implementation strategies for extended roll out of the programme. Methods: Process evaluation focus groups (N=22) and interviews (N=27) were conducted in three schools with programme implementers i.e. school management, SLASF coordinator, student-leaders class, staff committee and were transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and were guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Results: Implementation barriers were; ‘limited capacity and knowledge of implementers’, and ‘poor optimisation of the school as a systems approach’. Facilitators identified were; ‘optimisation of the school as a systems approach’, ‘change and progress requires patience and time’ and ‘acceptability of the intervention’. Conclusions: Identified barriers and facilitators assisted with the identification of implementation strategies including (not limited to) a shared leadership programme for student leaders, a more flexible timeline for completion and a student leadership transference each year. This study has identified drivers of implementation success or failure for future impact and extended roll out of SLASF.

description: "The Effect of the Suspension of Wheat Sales to the USSR on U.S. Prices and Exports." Alan J. Webb (IED, ESCS, USDA) and Leo V. Blakley (Oklahoma State University). A, world wheat trade forecasting model is used to compare a sales suspension of maximum effectiveness with a no suspension alternative. The model suggests that U.S. producer prices will decline $.26 per bushel and exports fall .1.5 million tons in 1980 under the suspension. Increased market stability results from diminished influence of Soviet supply variability.

description: The evaluation of white matter lesion progression is an important biomarker in the follow-up of MS patients and plays a crucial role when deciding the course of treatment. Current automated lesion segmentation algorithms are susceptible to variability in image characteristics related to MRI scanner or protocol differences. We propose a model that improves the consistency of MS lesion segmentations in inter-scanner studies. First, we train a CNN base model to approximate the performance of icobrain, an FDA-approved clinically available lesion segmentation software. A discriminator model is then trained to predict if two lesion segmentations are based on scans acquired using the same scanner type or not, achieving a 78% accuracy in this task. Finally, the base model and the discriminator are trained adversarially on multi-scanner longitudinal data to improve the inter-scanner consistency of the base model. The performance of the models is evaluated on an unseen dataset containing manual delineations. The inter-scanner variability is evaluated on test-retest data, where the adversarial network produces improved results over the base model and the FDA-approved solution.

A broad absorption feature in the X-ray spectrum of the isolated neutron star RBS1223 (1RXS J130848.6+212708)

description: X-ray spectra of the isolated neutron star RBS1223 obtained with the instruments on board XMM-Newton in December 2001 and January 2003 show deviations from a Planckian energy distribution at energies below 500 eV. The spectra are well fit when a broad, Gaussian-shaped absorption line with sigma = 100 eV and centered at an energy of 300 eV is added to an absorbed blackbody model. The resulting equivalent width of the line is -150 eV. However, the spectral resolution at these low energies of the EPIC detectors and the lower statistical quality and restricted energy band of the RGS instruments are not sufficient to exclude even broader lines at energies down to 100 eV or several unresolved lines. The most likely interpretation of the absorption feature is a cyclotron absorption line produced by protons in the magnetic field of the neutron star. In this picture line energies of 100-300 eV yield a magnetic field strength of 2-6x10^13 G for a neutron star with canonical mass and radius. Folding light curves from different energy bands at a period of 10.31 s, which implies a double peaked pulse profile, shows different hardness ratios for the two peaks. This confirms that the true spin period of RBS1223 is twice as long as originally thought and suggests variations in cyclotron absorption with pulse phase. We also propose that changes in photo-electric absorption seen in phase resolved spectra of RX J0720.4-3125 by Cropper et al. (2001), when formally fit with an absorbed blackbody model, are caused instead by cyclotron absorption varying with pulse phase.

description: Background: Physical inactivity is riding peoples towards the higher risk of non-communicable diseases. However, policy, research and surveillance deficits are affecting the public health action to curb this threat in Ethiopia. Purpose: This aimed to explore the existing gap on physical activity policy, research and surveillance through Country Card for a timely action. Methods: Data were collected from Oct 2020 to Dec 2020 through harmonized methodology of the Global Observatory for Physical Activity-GoPA!. A rigorous review was made on physical activity and sedentary behaviour policy, research and surveillance among adults 18+ years in Ethiopia. Then, the data was verified and synthesized by the GoPA! in collaboration with the country representative. Results: Our review confirmed that a little change has made since the release of the first Ethiopia’s Card in 2016. For instance, the prevalence of activity was raised to 85% (Male: 89%, female: 82%). As a result, inactivity related deaths were reduced to 4.0%. Also, the country improved global contribution to physical activity research and ranked in 52nd position worldwide. Sadly, the national physical activity recommendation is still not in place. The country has no monitoring system for physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Despite of those gaps, this second Country Card is more comprehensive and included sedentary behaviour data for the first time. Conclusion: The findings indicated that there is a huge gap on physical activity policy, research and surveillance in Ethiopia. Thus, government, policy makers and researchers should use this Country Card to improve the current policy, research and surveillance deficits. Funding: None of funds was received to conduct this study.

description: In this work, we extend the formalism of hybrid loop quantum cosmology for primordial perturbations around a flat, homogeneous, and isotropic universe to the new treatment of Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker geometries proposed recently by Dapor and Liegener, based on an alternative regularization of the Hamiltonian constraint. In fact, our discussion is applicable also to other possible regularization schemes for loop quantum cosmology, although we specialize our analysis to the Dapor-Liegener proposal and construct explicitly all involved quantum operators for that case.

description: Computational models of emergent communication in agent populations are currently gaining interest in the machine learning community due to recent advances in Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL). Current contributions are however still relatively disconnected from the earlier theoretical and computational literature aiming at understanding how language might have emerged from a prelinguistic substance. The goal of this paper is to position recent MARL contributions within the historical context of language evolution research, as well as to extract from this theoretical and computational background a few challenges for future research.

The New Narrow "D_s" States -- A Minireview
Creators: name: Porter, Frank C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The experimental status concerning the two new narrow states with charm-strange content is reviewed. The states have masses of 2317 and 2460 MeV, widths less than 10 MeV, isospin consistent with zero, and spin-parities consistent with being 0^+ and 1^+, respectively. Although the masses are lower than the conventional expectation, these states appear to be the j=1/2 P-wave levels of the D_s system, where j is the light quark angular momentum; there may be mixing with the j=3/2 level for the 1^+ state.

description: Background: Physical activity, sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep collectively affect health. Several countries have recently issued integrated 24-h movement guidelines. Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the associations of meeting different combinations of 24-h movement guidelines with stress and self-rated health among adults. Methods: A total of 2333 adult participants provided data on their self-rated health, frequency of stress, and time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), SB and sleep. The associations of meeting the movement guidelines with stress and self-rated health were analysed using an ordinal logistic regression model adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. Results: Significantly lower odds of higher frequency of stress were found for those who met the combined 24-h movement guidelines (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32, 0.63; p < 0.001), any combination of two guidelines (OR range: 0.48 – 0.63; p < 0.05 for all) and sleep guideline only (OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.35, 0.75; p = 0.001). Significantly higher odds of better self-rated health were found for those who met the combined 24-hour movement guidelines (OR = 2.94; 95% CI: 2.07, 4.19; p < 0.001) and the MVPA alone or in combination with any other movement behaviour guideline (OR range: 1.78 – 2.33; p < 0.01 for all). Meeting more guidelines was associated with greater odds of favourable outcomes (p for linear trend < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings highlight the public health importance of encouraging adults to meet as many movement behaviour guidelines as possible. Funding: None.

Year: 2022

description: Background: Sport is highlighted as one of the “eight investments that work” for increasing physical activity (PA) and the coach has an important influence on the PA levels attained during sport. It remains unclear whether coaches are aware of their role in PA provision, with skill and game development typically the primary focus of practice sessions. Consequently, it is appropriate to investigate coaches’ knowledge of PA guidelines (PAGL) and PA provision in sport settings. Purpose: To evaluate youth Gaelic games (GG) coaches’ awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of PA and PAGL. Methods: An online survey was completed by 1660 youth GG coaches (398 females), which included items on awareness and knowledge of youth PAGL, and their perceptions of PA in coaching. Results: A majority of coaches (45.1%) were not aware of the PAGL, with 15.5% of coaches correctly identifying the MVPA guideline. A majority of coaches agree that GG participation should make a significant contribution to players' PA levels (90.4%), they support players to be physically active during practices (93.2%), and they perceive themselves as role models for players in terms of PA (80.9%). Conclusions: Coaches appreciate the importance of their players accumulating PA, yet a low proportion are aware of or can accurately identify the PAGL. The development of formal coach education modules on PAGL and approaches to increase the PA attained during GG practices may be useful strategies to ensure sport makes a positive contribution to PA.

description: The dynamics in a nonlinear Schrodinger chain in an homogeneous electric field is studied. We show that discrete translational invariant integrability-breaking terms can freeze the Bloch nonlinear oscillations and introduce new faster frequencies in their dynamics. These phenomena are studied by direct numerical integration and through an adiabatic approximation. The adiabatic approximation allows a description in terms of an effective potential that greatly clarifies the phenomenon.
