description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: We study the electroproduction of the LHCb pentaquark states with the assumption that they are resonant states. The main concern here is to investigate the final state distribution in the phase space in order to extract the feeble pentaquark signal from the large non-resonant background. Our results show that the ratio of the signal to background would increase significantly with proper kinematic cut, which would be very helpful for future experimental analysis.

description: The exploitation of the spin in charge-based systems is opening revolutionary opportunities for device architecture. Surprisingly, room temperature electrical transport through magnetic nanowires is still an unresolved issue. Here, we show that ferromagnetic (Co) suspended atom chains spontaneously display an electron transport of half a conductance quantum, as expected for a fully polarized conduction channel. Similar behavior has been observed for Pd (a quasi-magnetic 4d metal) and Pt (a non-magnetic 5d metal). These results suggest that the nanowire low dimensionality reinforces or induces magnetic behavior, lifting off spin degeneracy even at room temperature and zero external magnetic field.

description: The high transmission and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 has led to a pandemic that has halted the world’s economy and health. The newly evolved strains and scarcity of vaccines has worsened the situation. The main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 can act as a potential target due to its role in viral replication and conservation level. In this study, we have enlisted more than 1100 phytochemicals from Asian plants based on deep literature mining. The compounds library was screened against the Mpro of SARS-CoV-2. The selected three ligands, Flemichin, Delta-Oleanolic acid, and Emodin 1-O-beta-D-glucoside had a binding energy of −8.9, −8.9, −8.7 KJ/mol respectively. The compounds bind to the active groove of the main protease at; Cys145, Glu166, His41, Met49, Pro168, Met165, Gln189. The multiple descriptors from the simulation study; root mean square deviation, root mean square fluctuation, radius of gyration, hydrogen bond, solvent accessible surface area confirms the stable nature of the protein-ligand complexes. Furthermore, post-md analysis confirms the rigidness in the docked poses over the simulation trajectories. Our combinatorial drug design approaches may help researchers to identify suitable drug candidates against SARS-CoV-2.

title: The Experience of International Students With English L2 in a Scottish Further Education College
Creators: name: Smith, Angela
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: In the early years of the twenty-first century, Scottish Further Education Colleges experienced a decline in student intake as a result of demographic changes and competition within the tertiary education sector. As a result, one such college actively sought new students from outside its core student base, specifically targeting both international students and migrant workers, most of whom speak English as a second language. Subsequently, these students have often been perceived by the academic staff as not achieving their full academic potential because of issues around English language competence. This thesis takes a case study approach, drawing on sociocultural theory, to examine the experiences of five such students and their lecturers in the college, in order to explore factors contributing to this perceived lack of success. The research used semi-structured interviews, as well as learning centre observations, college marketing and policy documentation and an analysis of statistical data on student academic attainment. The interviews gave five students an opportunity to talk about their experiences of the college as well as allowing eight staff members to relate their perceptions of the students. Staff were also asked about the challenges they faced as professionals in meeting the required learning outcomes of the curriculum, while balancing the needs of students with those of the college. Both thematic and discourse analysis were applied to the data to explore structural themes suggested by the research questions around language competence, language support, educational expectations and both staff/student and student/student relationships. This analysis also exposed specific emergent themes for each group: for the students, conflicting identities as they try to balance the opportunity costs of their investment in their education against other aspects of their life: and, for the lecturers, perceptions of the ‘ideal student’ and their own professional identity.

description: We calculate various tree-level (disk) scattering amplitudes involving gauge, matter and moduli fields in type IIB toroidal orbifold/orientifold backgrounds with D9,D5 respectively D7,D3-branes or via T-duality D6-branes in type IIA compactifications. In type IIB the D-branes may have non-vanishing fluxes on their world-volume. From these results we extract the moduli and flux dependence of the tree-level gauge couplings, the metrics for the moduli and matter fields. The non-vanishing fluxes correspond in the T-dual type IIA description to intersecting D6-branes. This allows us to determine the moduli dependence of the tree-level matter field metrics in the effective action of intersecting D6-brane models. In addition we derive the physical Yukawa couplings with their correct normalization.

description: Byte-addressable persistent memory (PM) brings hash tables the potential of low latency, cheap persistence and instant recovery. The recent advent of Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules (DCPMM) further accelerates this trend. Many new hash table designs have been proposed, but most of them were based on emulation and perform sub-optimally on real PM. They were also piece-wise and partial solutions that side-step many important properties, in particular good scalability, high load factor and instant recovery. We present Dash, a holistic approach to building dynamic and scalable hash tables on real PM hardware with all the aforementioned properties. Based on Dash, we adapted two popular dynamic hashing schemes (extendible hashing and linear hashing). On a 24-core machine with Intel Optane DCPMM, we show that compared to state-of-the-art, Dash-enabled hash tables can achieve up to ~3.9X higher performance with up to over 90% load factor and an instant recovery time of 57ms regardless of data size.

description: Recently, it has been shown that DNA could emit some waves which carry main information about its evolution. Using this idea, we design a new method to image the behavior of skin cells, especially melanocytes, and diagnose their damage. In this method, we make use of a circuit which is formed from DNAs within the damaged melanocytes, a graphene sheet, DNAs within the healthy cells, and a scope. To amplify exchanged waves between hexagonal and pentagonal manifolds of DNAs, we induce some defects in the graphene sheets and replace some hexagonal mole?cules by pentagonal ones to build a structure similar to the structure of DNAs. We show that unprotected exposure to UVA and UVB damages the DNA in melanocyte cells, producing genetic defects, or mutations, that can lead to exchanged waves between cells and the emergence of a current in our circuit. By analyzing the evolu?tion of this current, we can estimate the rate of destruction in melanocytes, and pre?dict the emergence of cancer.

description: Using a generalisation of an Onsager type approach, we are able to predict a dielectric permittivity profile of an inhomogeneous dipolar fluid in the presence of a dielectric interface. The reaction and cavity fields are calculated semi-analytically using bispherical coordinates. An asymptotic expression for the local permittivity is derived as a function of distance from the interface.

title: Senior staff members' perceptions of organisational culture and quality in higher education institutions in England
Creators: name: Lomas, Laurence Edward
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis sets out to examine the two major concepts of organisational culture and Quality Management (QM) in English Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) by investigating the attitudes of senior staff. The development of QM in commercial, industrial, local government and higher education contexts is chronicled and analysed. The proposition, that emerging QM approaches fail to take account of the diversity of cultures which exists in HEIs, is formulated. In order to examine this proposition, two phases of research were undertaken with senior managers, senior administrators and senior academics. The first phase of the research made use of depth interviews and document analysis in seven particular HEIs. The second phase research involved canvassing the views of senior staff in a larger number of HEIs. The research supports the general findings from the relevant literature that there is diversity of organisational culture between and within HEIs. In addition, the literature and research highlight a noticeable shift in emphasis towards outcome rather than process measures, to fitness of purpose rather than fitness for purpose and towards standards rather than quality. Thus, there is a tendency for the emerging QM approaches to be more absolutist and less relativist than was the case with Higher Education Funding Council for England Quality Assessment. The empirical research tends to support rather than refute the proposition. The complexity of organisational cultures in HEIs, and the consequent disjunction with the emerging QM approaches, is illustrated through the construction of a three dimensional model. This new model adds the dimension of the three stakeholder groups to Dopson and McNay's (1996) model of universities as organisations. In addition, the new model suggests several areas that merit further research

description: We propose a more direct approach to constructing differential operators that preserve polynomial subspaces than the one based on considering elements of the enveloping algebra of sl(2). This approach is used here to construct new exactly solvable and quasi-exactly solvable quantum Hamiltonians on the line which are not Lie-algebraic. It is also applied to generate potentials with multiple algebraic sectors. We discuss two illustrative examples of these two applications: an interesting generalization of the Lamé potential which posses four algebraic sectors, and a quasi-exactly solvable deformation of the Morse potential which is not Lie-algebraic.

The analysis is made possible by the very deep exposure ~2 Ms and low background of the ACIS detector. The line profile seems to be inconsistent with a narrow feature. The best fit solution is achieved with a broad line. Most of the flux in the broad component originates at energies below 6.4 keV with a shape similar to that expected from emission in the innermost regions of the accretion disk.

The dynamical susceptibility is remarkably well described by the self-consistent renormalization (SCR) theory of the spin fluctuation in a phenomenological way, proving the effectiveness of the theory. The present analysis using the SCR phenomenology has allowed us to determine fourteen exchange constants, which show the long-range nature of the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction.

description: The equilibrium and non-equilibrium optical properties of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are determined by strongly bound excitons. Exciton relaxation dynamics in TMDs have been extensively studied by time-domain optical spectroscopies. However, the formation dynamics of excitons following non-resonant photoexcitation of free electron-hole pairs have been challenging to directly probe because of their inherently fast timescales. Here we use extremely short optical pulses to non-resonantly excite an electron-hole plasma and show the formation of two-dimensional excitons in single-layer MoS2 on the timescale of 30 fs via the induced changes to photo-absorption. These formation dynamics are significantly faster than in conventional 2D quantum wells and are attributed to the intense Coulombic interactions present in 2D TMDs. A theoretical model of a coherent polarization that dephases and relaxes to an incoherent exciton population reproduces the experimental dynamics on the sub-100-fs timescale and sheds light into the underlying mechanism of how the lowest-energy excitons, which are the most important for optoelectronic applications, form from higher-energy excitations. Importantly, a phonon-mediated exciton cascade from higher energy states to the ground excitonic state is found to be the rate-limiting process. These results set an ultimate timescale of the exciton formation in TMDs and elucidate the exceptionally fast physical mechanism behind this process.

description: Expanding on [1], we analyze in detail the single field chaotic inflationary models plus a cosine modulation term, augmented by a light scalar field with inflaton dependent oscillatory mass term. We work out in detail the Feynman diagrams and compute one, two and in general estimate higher loop two and three point functions in the in-in formulation. We explicitly establish how the oscillatory mass term can amplify one-loop effects to dominate over the tree as well as the higher loop contributions. The power spectrum of curvature perturbations of this model is hence enhanced compared to the simple single field chaotic model. As a consequence, one can suppress the tensor to scalar ratio r and have a different expression for scalar spectral tilt and the running of the tilt, opening the way to reconcile chaotic models with convex potential and the Planck data. As in monodromy inflation models, we also have a cosine modulation in the spectral tilt. We also analyze the bispectrum, which can be dominated by the amplified one-loop effects, yielding a new shape in non-Gassuianty. We discuss the bounds on parameter space from all available CMB observables and possible implications for reheating.

description: In a storage ring of discrete magnets with uniform field and edge focusing, the field averaged over the orbit can be independent of orbit radius (particle momentum). This ring is suitable for measuring the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The field, averaged over the orbit, can be calibrated by injecting transversely polarized protons of the same momentum and measuring the proton (g-2) precession. A measurement at the level of 0.03 ppm may be feasible.

description: To address five fundamental shortcomings of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and cosmology, we propose a SMART U(1)$_X$ model which is a $U(1)_X \times U(1)_{PQ}$ extension of the SM. The $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry is a generalization of the well-known $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry and $U(1)_{PQ}$ is the global Peccie-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. Three right handed neutrinos are added to cancel $U(1)_X$ related anomalies, and they play a crucial role in understanding the observed neutrino oscillations and explaining the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe via leptogenesis. The PQ symmetry helps resolve the strong CP problem and also provides axion as a compelling dark matter (DM) candidate. The $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry enables us to implement the inflection-point inflation scenario with $H_{inf} \lesssim 2 \times 10^{7}$ GeV, where $H_{inf}$ is the value of Hubble parameter during inflation. This allows us to overcome a potential axion domain wall problem as well as the axion isocurvature problem. The SMART U(1)$_X$ model can be merged with $SU(5)$ as we briefly show.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Traditional Hymns; Worship Music; Church Music Education.

description: Abstract: This study examines the integration of traditional hymns and contemporary worship music within church music education, focusing on the effects of a balanced curriculum on students' musical skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research involved 50 church music students enrolled in a 6-month program at a major Christian university. Data were collected through practical exams, written tests, attitudinal surveys, and semi-structured interviews, measuring changes in students' proficiency, understanding of church music history and theology, and their views on different worship music styles.

The results show significant improvements in students’ performance and arrangement skills across both traditional and contemporary styles. Additionally, students demonstrated a deeper understanding of the historical and theological significance of church music, enabling them to make more informed decisions about worship music selection. The study also found notable attitudinal shifts, with students developing a more balanced and appreciative view of both traditional hymns and contemporary worship music. These findings suggest that an integrated curriculum not only enhances students’ musical versatility but also fosters inclusivity, better preparing them to navigate the diverse and evolving landscape of modern worship music.

In conclusion, this research highlights the importance of a balanced integration of traditional and contemporary elements in church music education, offering insights that can inform future curricula aimed at developing well-rounded church musicians capable of leading worship in a variety of settings.

description: A topic of intense concern during the interwar period in some Western European countries with the 'early' appearance of the mechanisms of demographic transition, demographic aging (i.e. the constant increase in the proportion of older people in the population) is still emerging as one of the main concerns in all the developed countries worldwide. Thus, a demographic phenomenon of the restructuring of population structures by age, progressively falls into one of the major problems (as a problem of economic and social organization) that our developed societies have to solve during the first half of the present century.In this article, we outline the evolution of demographic aging in Greece as well as the main factors (fertility decline, life expectancy increase) that have led to an increase in the population and a rising of the proportion of the elderly in the general population. We are also looking at the irreversible path of aging in the coming decades (an increase in 2040 of population 65+ years by 450,000, a decline of population 20-64 years by 1 million and a reduction of population 0-19 year by 450,000), a course that will leading to a significant increase in the demographic ratio of 65 + / 20-64 years, as in 2040 there will be 52 people aged 65 and over in 100 people 20-64, compared to 37 in 2018.
Θέμα έντονων προβληματισμών και ανησυχιών στη διάρκεια του μεσοπολέμου σε ορισμένες δυτικοευρωπαϊκές χώρες με «πρώιμη» εμφάνιση των μηχανισμών της δημογραφικής μετάβασης, η δημογραφική γήρανση (η συνεχής δηλαδή αύξηση της αναλογίας των ηλικιωμένων στον πληθυσμό) αναδύεται ως ένα από τα κύρια θέματα προβληματισμού σε όλες πλέον τις ανεπτυγμένες χώρες του πλανήτη μας. Ένα δημογραφικό φαινόμενο αναδιάρθρωσης των δομών του πληθυσμού κατά ηλικία ανάγεται έτσι προοδευτικά σε ένα από τα βασικότερα προβλήματα (ως πρόβλημα» οικονομίας και κοινωνικής οργάνωσης), που καλούνται να επιλύσουν οι ανεπτυγμένες κοινωνίες μας στη διάρκεια του πρώτου μισού του αιώνα μας.Στο άρθρο αυτό, εκθέτουμε την εξέλιξη της δημογραφικής γήρανσης στη χώρας μας ως και τους κύριους παράγοντες (πτώση της γονιμότητάς, αύξηση του προσδόκιμου ζωής) που οδήγησαν στην αύξηση του πλήθους και της αναλογίας των ηλικιωμένων στο συνολικό πληθυσμό. Εξετάζουμε ταυτόχρονα και την μη αναστρέψιμη πορεία της γήρανσης τις επόμενες δεκαετίες (αύξηση το 2040 των άνω των 65 ετών κατά 450 χιλ, μείωση των 20-64 ετών κατά 1 εκατομμύριο ως και των 0-19 ετών κατά 450 χιλιάδες), μια πορεία που θα οδηγήσει σε μια σημαντική αύξηση του δημογραφικού λόγου 65+/20-64 ετών, καθώς το 2040 θα αντιστοιχούν 52 άτομα ηλικίας 65 ετών και άνω σε 100 άτομα 20-64 ετών, έναντι 37 το 2018.

Handling Missing Annotations in Supervised Learning Data

description: Data annotation is an essential stage in supervised learning. However, the annotation process is exhaustive and time consuming, specially for large datasets. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) recognition is an example of systems that exploit very large raw sensor data readings. In such systems, sensor readings are collected from activity-monitoring sensors in a 24/7 manner. The size of the generated dataset is so huge that it is almost impossible for a human annotator to give a certain label to every single instance in the dataset. This results in annotation gaps in the input data to the adopting supervised learning system. The performance of the recognition system is negatively affected by these gaps. In this work, we propose and investigate three different paradigms to handle these gaps. In the first paradigm, the gaps are taken out by dropping all unlabeled readings. A single "Unknown" or "Do-Nothing" label is given to the unlabeled readings within the operation of the second paradigm. The last paradigm handles these gaps by giving every one of them a unique label identifying the encapsulating deterministic labels. Also, we propose a semantic preprocessing method of annotation gaps by constructing a hybrid combination of some of these paradigms for further performance improvement. The performance of the proposed three paradigms and their hybrid combination is evaluated using an ADL benchmark dataset containing more than $2.5\times 10^6$ sensor readings that had been collected over more than nine months. The evaluation results emphasize the performance contrast under the operation of each paradigm and support a specific gap handling approach for better performance.

description: We determine the specific heat amplitude ratio near a $m$-axial Lifshitz point and show its universal character. Using a recent renormalization group picture along with new field-theoretical $ε_{L}$-expansion techniques, we established this amplitude ratio at one-loop order. We estimate the numerical value of this amplitude ratio for $m=1$ and $d=3$. The result is in very good agreement with its experimental measurement on the magnetic material $MnP$. It is shown that in the limit $m \to 0$ it trivially reduces to the Ising-like amplitude ratio.

Subjects: Melasma, melanin, Microphthalmia- associated Transcription Factor, Fitzpatrick.

description: Introduction: Melasma is an acquired pigmentary condition, primarily affecting the face, and

predominantly occurs in women with darker skin phototypes. Objective: This literature review aims to

explore the etiology, epidemiological characteristics, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, and treatments of

melasma, with the purpose of deepening the understanding of this skin disorder and enhancing

therapeutic approaches. Methodology: The study involves an analysis of relevant research on the topic,

highlighting the influence of ultraviolet radiation, hormones, and genetic predisposition as the main

etiological factors. Theoretical Framework: The review delves into the complex interaction between

melanocytes, keratinocytes, and other cellular components in the pathogenesis of melasma. Estrogen

plays a significant role, especially due to its increase in pregnant women, post-pubertal women, and users of oral contraceptives. Results and Discussion: Data reveal the high prevalence of melasma in women aged 20 to 40 years, particularly in Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI, with a predominance of the centrofacial and malar patterns. Additionally, treatments emphasize the use of chemical peels, hydroquinone, and retinoic acid, with a focus on combination therapies for greater efficacy. Conclusion: The need for personalized therapeutic strategies is emphasized, given the complexity of melasma and the diversity of factors influencing its development and persistence, underscoring the importance of ongoing studies to

improve the clinical management of this condition.
