description: We considered variations the dipole and the quadrupole components of the solar large-scale magnetic field. Both the axial and the equatorial dipoles exhibit a systematic decrease in the past four cycles in accordance with the general decrease of solar activity. The transition of the pole of a dipole from the polar region to mid latitudes occurs rather quickly, so that the longitude of the pole changes little. With time, however, this inclined dipole region shifts to larger longitudes, which suggests an acceleration of the dipole rotation. The mean rotation rate exceeds the Carrington velocity by 0.6%. The behavior of the quadrupole differs dramatically. Its decrease over last four cycles was much smaller than that of the dipole moment. The ratio of the quadrupole and dipole moments has increased for four cycles more than twice in contrast to the sunspot numbers, which displayed a twofold decrease for the same time interval. What about quadrupole rotation, the mean longitude of the poles of one sign decreased by 600 degrees over four cycles, which suggests that the mean rotation rate was lower than the Carrington velocity by 0.28%. We do not see however any conclusive evidence that, in the period under discussion, a mode of quadrupole symmetry was excited on the Sun along with the dipole mode.

description: Zentrales Element hegemonialer Männlichkeit ist die enge Verwobenheit von Männlichkeiten und Erwerbsarbeit, die sich u. a. in der Figur des Ernährers der Familie manifestiert. Weltweit lassen sich Veränderungen feststellen, die Alternativen und neue Möglichkeitsräume erkennen lassen. Die konzeptionelle Einordnung dieser empirischen Phänomene steht allerdings noch am Anfang. Inwiefern es sich dabei um mehr als einen gesellschaftlichen Wandel handelt, sondern um ein grundlegend verändertes „In-der-Welt-Sein“, wollen wir anhand von in Gruppendiskussionen gewonnenen Daten für Deutschland diskutieren. Durch drei Fälle hindurch können wir zeigen, dass die Figur des Ernährers auf der einen Seite als klassisch, traditionell und auch veraltet verstanden und als solche zumindest in Teilen zurückgewiesen wird, auf der anderen Seite lassen sich in diesen Fällen auch Hinweise finden, dass sich der Ernährer nach wie vor zur Hegemonialisierung in der konkreten Praxis eignet. Instruktiv ist die Falldiskussion daher vor allem auch, da die Schilderungen der Diskussionsteilnehmer nachdrücklich verdeutlichen, wie hegemoniale Männlichkeit in der Praxis funktioniert: als Anrufung, der man sich nicht entziehen kann.

description: Abstract: Alternative splicing of the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) terminal exon generates two protein families with differing functions. Pro-angiogenic VEGF-Axxxa isoforms are produced via selection of the proximal 3′ splice site of the terminal exon. Use of an alternative distal splice site generates the anti-angiogenic VEGF-Axxxb proteins. A bichromatic splicing-sensitive reporter was designed to mimic VEGF-A alternative splicing and was used as a molecular tool to further investigate this alternative splicing event. Part of VEGF-A’s terminal exon and preceding intron were inserted into a minigene construct followed by the coding sequences for two fluorescent proteins. A different fluorescent protein is expressed depending on which 3′ splice site of the exon is used during splicing (dsRED denotes VEGF-Axxxa and EGFP denotes VEGF-Axxxb). The fluorescent output can be used to follow splicing decisions in vitro and in vivo. Following successful reporter validation in different cell lines and altering splicing using known modulators, a screen was performed using the LOPAC library of small molecules. Alterations to reporter splicing were measured using a fluorescent plate reader to detect dsRED and EGFP expression. Compounds of interest were further validated using flow cytometry and assessed for effects on endogenous VEGF-A alternative splicing at the mRNA and protein level. Ex vivo and in vitro angiogenesis assays were used to demonstrate the anti-angiogenic effect of the compounds. Furthermore, anti-angiogenic activity was investigated in a Matrigel in vivo model. To conclude, we have identified a set of compounds that have anti-angiogenic activity through modulation of VEGF-A terminal exon splicing.

description: If Jaffe and Wilczek's diquark picture for $Θ_5$ pentaquark is correct, there should also exist a $SU_F$(3) pentaquark octet and singlet with no orbital excitation between the diquark pair, hence $J^P={1/2}^-$. These states are lighter than the $Θ_5$ anti-decuplet and lie close to the orbitally excited (L=1) three-quark states in the conventional quark model. We calculate their masses and magnetic moments and discuss their possible strong decays using the chiral Lagrangian formalism. Among them two pentaquarks with nucleon quantum numbers may be narrow. Selection rules of strong decays are derived. We propose the experimental search of these nine additional $J^P={1/2}^-$ baryon states. Especially there are two additional $J^P={1/2}^-$ $Λ$ baryons around $Λ(1405)$. We also discuss the interesting possibility of interpreting $Λ(1405)$ as a pentaquark. The presence of these additional states will provide strong support of the diquark picture for the pentaquarks. If future experimental searches fail, one has to re-evaluate the relevance of this picture for the pentaquarks.

Truncations with N > 4 leads to unconditional instability. Generalization of the truncated models with N = 3 and 4 shows dynamical behaviour characteristic of systems with a riddled parameter space.

description: High Frequency electron paramagnetic resonance has been used to observe the magnetic dipole, $Δ$ M$_s$ = $\pm$ 1, transitions in the $S = 9$ excited state of the single molecule magnet Fe$_8$Br$_8$. A Boltzmann analysis of the measured intensities locates it at 24 $\pm$ 2 K above the $S = 10$ ground state, while the line positions yield its magnetic parameters D = -0.27 K, E = $\pm$0.05 K, and B$_4^0$ = -1.3$\times$ 10$^{-6}$ K. D is thus smaller by 8% and E larger by 7% than for $S = 10$. The anisotropy barrier for $S = 9$ is estimated as 22 K,which is 25% smaller than that for $S = 10$ (29 K). These data also help assign the spin exchange constants(J's) and thus provide a basis for improved electronic structure calculations of Fe$_8$Br$_8$.

description: Metoposaurids are Late Triassic temnospondyls that are abundant components of freshwater depositional settings. Although metoposaurids are represented by hundreds of specimens in collections around the world, the vast majority pertain to large-bodied, relatively mature individuals, and as a result, the early stages of ontogeny are still poorly characterised. Small-bodied metoposaurids from North America have traditionally been assigned to Apachesaurus gregorii, interpreted as a diminutive taxon, but this interpretation has not been rigorously tested. Here we provide a morphological description of two new small-bodied metoposaurid specimens from Petrified Forest National Park, AZ, USA. Both provide various anatomical details that improve our understanding of small-bodied metoposaurids and their taxonomic placement within Metoposauridae. Furthermore, we perform a histological analysis on associated intercentra of these specimens, which indicates that these are relatively immature individuals. These findings support the growing consensus that Apachesaurus is a juvenile metoposaurid, thereby providing additional data regarding the early stages of metoposaurid ontogeny and evidence of the persistence of large-bodied forms into the late Norian. Accordingly, these findings merit a reevaluation of the taxonomic validity and diagnosis of the taxon and of the previous interpretations of its paleobiology.

description: Abstract: Rapidly assessing biodiversity is essential for environmental monitoring; however, traditional approaches are limited in the scope needed for most ecological systems. Environmental DNA (eDNA) based assessment offers enhanced scope for assessing biodiversity, while also increasing sampling efficiency and reducing processing time, compared to traditional methods. Here we investigated the effects of landuse and seasonality on headwater community richness and functional diversity, via spatio-temporal dynamics, using both eDNA and traditional sampling. We found that eDNA provided greater resolution in assessing biodiversity dynamics in time and space, compared to traditional sampling. Community richness was seasonally linked, peaking in spring and summer, with temporal turnover having a greater effect on community composition compared to localized nestedness. Overall, our assessment of ecosystem function shows that community formation is driven by regional resource availability, implying regional management requirements should be considered. Our findings show that eDNA based ecological assessment is a powerful, rapid and effective assessment strategy that enables complex spatio-temporal studies of community diversity and ecosystem function, previously infeasible using traditional methods.

description: This paper investigates the celestial-religious images in fourteenth century Serbian Christian Orthodox iconography, painted in the Byzantine style. The focus of this research is on the fresco of the Sun, the Moon, the planets and the Zodiac, from the Lesnovo monastery, now situated in North Macedonia. While the monasticism view and official church refuse to accept that the fresco presents the Zodiac signs and the planets, in the academic world there are detailed explanations of the visual details of this fresco but no explanation as to why the Zodiac is painted there. The other subject of this research is the Visoki Dečani monastery in Kosovo, with a specific focus on the images of the Sun and the Moon in the fresco entitled, The Crucifixion of Christ. This paper concentrates on possible explanations as to why these figures, the Zodiac and the planets were painted and what they could possibly represent. The conclusion is that these celestial images are a product of a synergy between the Hellenistic and the Christian cosmology.
Ferroelastic Twinning in Minerals: A Source of Trace Elements, Conductivity, and Unexpected Piezoelectricity

description: Ferroelastic twinning in minerals is a very common phenomenon. The twin laws follow simple symmetry rules and they are observed in minerals, like feldspar, palmierite, leucite, perovskite, and so forth. The major discovery over the last two decades was that the thin areas between the twins yield characteristic physical and chemical properties, but not the twins themselves. Research greatly focusses on these twin walls (or ‘twin boundaries’); therefore, because they possess different crystal structures and generate a large variety of ‘emerging’ properties. Research on wall properties has largely overshadowed research on twin domains. Some wall properties are discussed in this short review, such as their ability for chemical storage, and their structural deformations that generate polarity and piezoelectricity inside the walls, while none of these effects exist in the adjacent domains. Walls contain topological defects, like kinks, and they are strong enough to deform surface regions. These effects have triggered major research initiatives that go well beyond the realm of mineralogy and crystallography. Future work is expected to discover other twin configurations, such as co-elastic twins in quartz and growth twins in other minerals.

Using a Co-S self flux method, we synthesized single crystals of the antiferromagnetic insulator BaCoSO. Our magnetic and specific heat measurements and neutron diffraction provide details of its magnetic anisotropy and order. Its band gap was determined to be about 1.3 eV by our measurements of its photoemission spectrum and infrared optical conductivity. Our results can pave the way to exploring the predicted superconductivity in this Co-based material.

description: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus. In healthy people, primary infection is generally asymptomatic, and the virus can go on to establish lifelong latency in cells of the myeloid lineage. However, HCMV often causes severe disease in the immunosuppressed: transplant recipients and people living with AIDS, and also in the immunonaive foetus. At present, there are several antiviral drugs licensed to control HCMV disease. However, these are all faced with problems of poor bioavailability, toxicity and rapidly emerging viral resistance. Furthermore, none of them are capable of fully clearing the virus from the host, as they do not target latent infection. Consequently, reactivation from latency is a significant source of disease, and there remains an unmet need for treatments that also target latent infection. This review briefly summarises the most common HCMV antivirals used in clinic at present and discusses current research into targeting the latent HCMV reservoir.

description: The aim of the present study was the review of the literature and the documentation of all possible ectopic positions of the gallbladder. A thorough understanding of gallbladder ectopia was feasible, and despite the fact that constitutes a rare congenital anomaly, it is of great clinical importance. Its clinical significance lays on the predisposition for formation of gallstones. Furthermore, we have studied all the congenital anomalies, which may coexist with gallbladder ectopia. It has been shown how important is to recognize an ectopic gallbladder during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as well as the difficulties that a general surgeon will have to face during an operation. The final aim of the present study was to establish a classification of gallbladder ectopia, in order to choose the best surgical approach regarding each possible ectopic position of the gallbladder.
Pissing in Public : The Role of Public Washrooms within the Context of a Neoliberal City
Creators: name: Scoular, Emily Nadene
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The role of public washrooms is excluded from civil discourse on public amenity provision within the City of Vancouver. The public washroom if ever included in a design, is considered an afterthought and its implementation are symptomatic of attitudes towards commercialisation of the city, consumer-as-citizen equivalence, and privatised-public space. This research highlights historical and contemporary conditions and neoliberal tools utilised by the City to establish a clear understanding of how space is created, maintained and how value emerges. The historic Comfort Stations’ current role, within the socially and economically diverse neighbourhood of the Downtown Eastside, is symptomatic of macro ideologies on the public washroom. Neoliberalism and its political rhetoric shape these ideologies to create a consumer-dependent right of access to basic public necessities. The definition of neoliberalism highlights dependence on rhetoric, laws and policies to changing the urban landscape, while critics suggest an active social-democratic process better reflects the right to the city. Local instances of neoliberalism emerge that stifle democratic and capitalist city building. These such instances include Business Improvement Associations, Community Amenity Contributions, Development Contribution Levies, Privately Owned Private Spaces, and Public-Private Partnerships. Contemporary precedents of public washrooms around the city express the shape that neoliberal autonomy of form and practices as detrimental to the public. As the future of public washrooms is contingent on renewal of long-term contracting with a private corporation this Graduate Project proposes that by examining neoliberal policies in the City of Vancouver, designers, developers, and the public can make informed decisions about need-based amenities such as washroom implementations. This proposal will be expressed as a set of guidelines for alley developments in conjunction with the Community Amenity Contribution, and subsequent design responses. By creating a transparent and straightforward guideline for public amenity production in alley spaces a more democratic process will be created that allow various user groups, designers, developers and planners to make economic, policy, and public decisions.

description: This article introduces idMotif, a visual analytics framework designed to aid domain experts in the identification of motifs within protein sequences. Motifs, short sequences of amino acids, are critical for understanding the distinct functions of proteins. Identifying these motifs is pivotal for predicting diseases or infections. idMotif employs a deep learning-based method for the categorization of protein sequences, enabling the discovery of potential motif candidates within protein groups through local explanations of deep learning model decisions. It offers multiple interactive views for the analysis of protein clusters or groups and their sequences. A case study, complemented by expert feedback, illustrates idMotif's utility in facilitating the analysis and identification of protein sequences and motifs.

description: A stochastic model for the field-driven polarization reversal in rhombohedral ferroelectrics is developed, providing a description of their temporal electromechanical response. Application of the model to simultaneous measurements of polarization and strain kinetics in a rhombohedral Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 ceramic over a wide time window allows identification of preferable switching paths, fractions of individual switching processes, and their activation fields. Complementary, the phenomenological Landau-Ginzburg-Devenshire theory is used to analyze the impact of external field and stress on switching barriers showing that residual mechanical stress may promote the fast switching.

Are All Hot Subdwarf Start in Close Binaries?

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss whether the hypothesis that "all (or most) subdwarfs are in close binaries" is supported by the frequently reported observations of photometrically or spectroscopically composite character of many hot subdwarf stars. By way of a possible counter-argument, we focus on resolved companions (optical pairs) of hot subdwarf stars. On a statistical basis, many of these are physically associated with the hot subdwarfs, i.e. are common proper motion pairs. These resolved pairs make a several percent contribution to the catalog of hot subdwarf stars per decade in projected separation. If they are just the relatively wide members of a binary population similar to the local G-dwarf binary population (Duquennoy & Mayor 1991), which has a very wide distribution of orbital separations, then many of the unresolved but composite hot subdwarf binaries may not be "close" in the astrophysical sense. In that case, binary channels for hot subdwarf formation may be less important than thought, or must involve companions (white dwarfs) that do not result in a composite spectrum system.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη των θεωριών των κοινών και της αποανάπτυξης, έτσι όπως έχουν διατυπωθεί από τον Massimo De Angelis και τη διεπιστημονική ερευνητική ομάδα Research & Degrowth αντίστοιχα. Εξετάσαμε αρχικά τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά και την πολιτική διάσταση των δύο θεωριών και προτείναμε μια πιθανή συμπόρευση τους που να αποσκοπεί στον οικολογικο-κοινωνικό μετασχηματισμό. Εστιάσαμε στη συνέχεια στο αστικό περιβάλλον όπου μελετώντας τα αστικά κοινά και τους κοινούς χώρους αναδείξαμε τη διαπλαστική τους διάσταση, σύμφωνα με την οποία μετασχηματίζονται οι κοσμοθεωρίες, το λεξιλόγιο, οι ταυτίσεις, οι έξεις και οι πρακτικές των δρώντων υποκειμένων/κοινωνών. Τέλος εξετάσαμε τη δυναμική που θα προέκυπτε από τη συμπόρευση των δύο προταγμάτων και την ανάδυση μιας αντι-ηγεμονικής δύναμης στο επίπεδο της πόλης, η οποία, παρεμβαίνοντας τόσο στην πολιτική κοινωνία όσο και στην κοινωνία των πολιτών, θα άνοιγε ένα δρόμο προς τον επιθυμητό οικολογικο-κοινωνικό μετασχηματισμό.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the theories of the commons and degrowth, as they have been formulated by Massimo De Angelis and the interdisciplinary group named Research & Degrowth respectively. Initially we examined the basic characteristics and the political dimension of the two theories and we proposed a possible coalition that would aim for the socio-ecological transformation. We focused then on the urban environment, where by studying the urban commons and the common spaces we emphasized their molding dimension, which can transform the worldviews, the vocabulary, the identifications, the habits and the practices of the agents/commoners. Finally, we examined the dynamic that could have arisen from the coalition of the two projects and the emergence of a counter-hegemonic power at the city level, which by intervening in both the political society and the civil society could open up a path for the desired socio-ecological transformation.

description: In this research, a novel dual-responsive supermagnetic chitosan/iron oxide nanocomposite hydrogel beads (CH/MION) was prepared using sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as cross linking agent. The prepared CH/MION hydrogel was systematically characterized by Fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). In addition, the CH/MION hydrogel exhibits favorable swelling properties that are sensitive to pH, and external magnetic field (EMF). The drug release behavior of the prepared hydrogel under EMF, and different pHs was also studied. The obtained hydrogel showed considerable temperature, pH, and EMF sensitivity for the in vitro release of Doxorubicin (DOX).These results suggested that the CH/MION hydrogel beads could be a promising candidate for drug deliver applications.
title: The Post-Soviet Imaginary: Constructing New Russian Fantasies
Creators: name: Oushakine, Serguei
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: "The Post-Soviet Imaginary: Constructing New Russian Fantasies" examines interviews and essays of one hundred seventy eight students (age 15-22), whom I met in April 1996 and April 1997 in Barnaul, Siberia (Russia). Using the texts of the students’ descriptions of such basic notions as “gender,” “nationality,” “man,” “woman,” and “Motherland” as my main source, I tried to understand how the young people in a post-Soviet Siberian city located themselves within the available symbolic representations of gender and national identity.

 The interpretation of the students’ texts was rooted in two major theoretical frames: structuralist and post-structuralist analysis on one hand and the psychoanalytic theory on the other. The former illuminated the main narrative mechanisms through which the students expressed their experience. As the first chapter argues, it was the logic of oppositions and binaries, the logic of cognitive inconsistency and supplementary negation that framed the students’ verbal constructions. In turn, the psychoanalytic approach (mostly in the forms of Melanie Klein’s and Julia Kristeva’s versions) was instrumental for grasping one of the key oppositions indicated by the students - the opposition between the new Russian woman and the new Russian man. These two figures were called upon to express the students’ anxiety caused by the loss of the symbolic sign-posts of the Soviet epoch. By using object relations theory, I detected a paranoid structure in the students’ fantasies about the new Russian man and the new Russian woman, which manifested itself first of all in such rhetorical phenomena as splitting, consolidation, and symbolic inhibition. My further analysis of the metaphors and associations used by the students led me to identifying these two models of national and gender identification as the object of abjection (the new Russian woman) and the object of narcissistic identification (the new Russian man).

description: A new method for continuous compositional-spread (CCS) thin-film fabrication based on pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) is introduced. This approach is based on a translation of the substrate heater and the synchronized firing of the excimer laser, with the deposition occurring through a slit-shaped aperture. Alloying is achieved during film growth (possible at elevated temperature) by the repeated sequential deposition of sub-monolayer amounts. Our approach overcomes serious shortcomings in previous in-situ implementations of CCS based on sputtering or PLD, in particular the variations of thickness across the compositional spread and the differing deposition energetics as function of position. While moving-shutter techniques are appropriate for PLD-approaches yielding complete spreads on small substrates (i.e. small as compared to distances over which the deposition parameters in PLD vary, typically about 1 cm), our method can be used to fabricate samples that are large enough for individual compositions to be analyzed by conventional techniques, including temperature-dependent measurements of resistivity and dielectric and magnetic and properties (i.e. SQUID magnetometry). Initial results are shown for spreads of (Sr,Ca)RuO$_3$.

Spherically Symmetric Solutions in Higher-Derivative Theories of Gravity

description: Higher-order theories of gravity have received much attention from several areas including quantum gravity, string theory and cosmology. This paper proposes a higher-order gravity whose action includes all curvature scalar terms up to the second-order corrections of general relativity, namely, $R^{2}$, $R^{3}$ and $R\square R$. Then, we explore spherically symmetric and static solutions in the weak-field regime and black holes context. All solutions in the weak-field regime due to a point mass are deduced, and by making a stability analysis of these solutions, we restrict them to Yukawa-type solutions. In regard to black hole solutions, we use the Lichnerovicz method to investigate the possibility of existence of non-Schwarzschild black holes. The results obtained show that non-Schwarzschild solutions might exist. However, for reasonable values of the parameters of the theory, its horizon radii are extremely small making macroscopic black holes different from Schwarzschild unfeasible.
description: 10 pages, 2 tables. To incorporate the referee's comments, in this version that matches the one published in Phys. Rev. D, we expanded the discussion in the stability analysis, the references were updated and there were improvements throughout the text

description: The use of a wide range of computer vision solutions, and more recently high-end Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) have become increasingly popular for assessing human physical activity in clinical and research settings. Nevertheless, to increase the feasibility of patient tracking in out-of-the-lab settings, it is necessary to use a reduced number of devices for movement acquisition. Promising solutions in this context are IMU-based wearables and single camera systems. Additionally, the development of machine learning systems able to recognize and digest clinically relevant data in-the-wild is needed, and therefore determining the ideal input to those is crucial.
