description: Kinder mit einer geistigen Behinderung machen häufig traumatische Erfahrungen, die starke Auswirkungen auf ihr Leben und somit auch auf ihr Schul-Leben an heilpädagogischen Institutionen haben. Oft nehmen Lehrpersonen das Verhalten dieser Kinder als besonders «auffällig» wahr: Interaktion, Kooperation und Partizipation sind beeinträchtigt. Eine weitere Folge ist, dass sich aufgrund der Situation des Kindes weniger Lernmomente ergeben. Um traumatisierte geistig behinderte Kinder professionell begleiten zu können, müssen Lehrpersonen ein spezifisches Fachwissen haben und eine traumasensible Haltung leben, denn – wie Erfahrungen bestätigen – ist Pädagogik vor aller Methodik eine Frage der Haltung. In Form einer Literaturarbeit wurde Fachwissen zusammengetragen und analysiert, was zu eigenen Erkenntnissen in Bezug «Traumapädagogik im Schulalltag mit geistig behinderten Kindern» geführt hat.

description: We present a physics-based compact model for two-dimensional (2D) field-effect transistors (FETs) based on monolayer semiconductors such as MoS2. A semi-classical transport approach is appropriate for the 2D channel, enabling simplified analytical expressions for the drain current. In addition to intrinsic FET behavior, the model includes contact resistance, traps and impurities, quantum capacitance, fringing fields, high-field velocity saturation and self-heating, the latter being found to play a strong role. The model is calibrated with state-of-the-art experimental data for n- and p-type 2D-FETs, and it can be used to analyze device properties for sub-100 nm gate lengths. Using the experimental fit, we demonstrate feasibility of circuit simulations using properly scaled devices. The complete model is implemented in SPICE-compatible Verilog-A, and a downloadable version is freely available on the nanoHUB.org.

description: Recovering a function f from its integrals over hyperplanes (or line integrals in the two-dimensional case), that is, recovering f from the Radon transform Rf of f, is a basic problem with important applications in medical imaging such as computerized tomography (CT). In the presence of stochastic noise in the observed function Rf, we shall construct asymptotic uniform confidence regions for the function f of interest, which allows to draw conclusions regarding global features of f. Speci cally, in a white noise model as well as a fixed-design regression model, we prove a Bickel-Rosenblatt-type theorem for the maximal deviation of a kernel-type estimator from its mean, and give uniform estimates for the bias for f in a Sobolev smoothness class. The finite sample properties of the proposed methods are investigated in a simulation study.

A Study of Causal Attributions Made in Classroom Language Learning
Creators: name: Ireland, Christopher
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: Education

description: This dissertation represents an attempt to gain an insight into the attributions made by language learners. The subjects of the study are 281 lower secondary language learners of average age 13.25 years from 2 schools in South London. Following a review of the current literature on attribution theory and classroom learning, a language learning attributions questionnaire was devised and administered to all the subjects. In addition, a language learning attributions interview was administered to 16 of the subjects. The results gained from the study are consistent with much of the previous research carried out in educational settings. The evidence from the questionnaires and interviews suggests that most of the subjects make attributions that are likely to lead to motivated behaviour in the future. In addition, there is evidence of self-serving bias and that attributions can be dichotomous. The analysis of the questionnaire data suggests that there are significant differences in some attributions made by learners for unsuccessful outcomes when controlled for learning situation, school, ability band and teaching group. This supports the view that attributions may be situation specific. The data shows no significant differences when analysed for gender. In addition there is little evidence of significant differences for attributions made by learners for successful outcomes when controlled for learning situation, school or ability band. Finally, suggestions for future research are made

description: Let $X$ be a separable Banach space endowed with a non-degenerate centered Gaussian measure $μ$. The associated Cameron--Martin space is denoted by $H$. Consider two sufficiently regular convex functions $U:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ and $G:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We let $ν=e^{-U}μ$ and $Ω=G^{-1}(-\infty,0]$. In this paper we are interested in the $W^{2,2}$ regularity of the weak solutions of elliptic equations of the type \begin{align}\label{Probelma in abstract} λu-L_{ν,Ω} u=f, \end{align} where $λ>0$, $f\in L^2(Ω,ν)$ and $L_{ν,Ω}$ is the self-adjoint operator associated with the quadratic form \[(ψ,ϕ)\mapsto \int_Ω\langle\nabla_Hψ,\nabla_Hϕ\rangle_Hdν\qquadψ,ϕ\in W^{1,2}(Ω,ν).\] In addition we will show that if $u$ is a weak solution of problem $λu-L_{ν,Ω} u=f$, with $λ>0$ and $f\in L^2(Ω,ν)$, then it satisfies a Neumann type condition at the boundary, namely for $ρ$-a.e. $x\in G^{-1}(0)$ \[\left\langle\,\text{Tr}\,(\nabla_Hu)(x),\,\text{Tr}\,(\nabla_H G)(x)\right\rangle_H=0,\] where $ρ$ is the Feyel--de La Pradelle Hausdorff--Gauss surface measure and $\text{Tr}$ is the trace operator.

description: This is a review on cigarette smoking and Parkinson's disease (PD). The relationship between cigarette smoking and Parkinson's disease is very controversial. Cigarette smoking is an established risk factor for various diseases such as lung cancer, COPD and heart disease. However, beneficial effects have been debated over the years. It was in the late 1950 s that studies reported a negative association between smoking and Parkinson's disease. More recently, several epidemiological studies have found a significant negative association between cigarette smoking and PD. That is, patients who smoke are 50% less likely to have PD when compared to their non-smoker counterparts. This suggests that cigarette smoking may have a "neuroprotective" effect on PD.

description: We study the defocusing semilinear wave equation in ${\mathbb{R}}\times{\mathbb{R}}^2\backslash{\mathcal K}$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition, where ${\mathcal K}$ is a star-shaped obstacle with smooth boundary. We first show that the potential energy of the solution will decay appropriately. Based on it, we show that the solution also pointwisely decays to $0$. Finally, we show that the solution scatters both in energy space and the critical Sobolev space. In general, we show that most of the conclusions obtained in \cite{MR4395159}, which hold on ${\mathbb{R}}^{1+2}$, remain valid on ${\mathbb{R}}\times{\mathbb{R}}^{2}\backslash{\mathcal K}$.

Assessment of VCT Utilization, and Willingness to Accept Provider-Initiated HIV Counseling and Testing among Tuberculosis Patients in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Maru, Melaku
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: Addis Ababa City Administration Health Bureau is recently implementing Provider Initiated HIV Counseling and Testing (PIHCT) in response to the high HIV prevalence among TB patients, and in an attempt to increase the uptake of HIV testing and ART. However, there has not been precise information pertaining to the Voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) utilization status by tuberculosis (TB) patients. This study was conducted in June 2006 to assess VCT utilization rate, perceived barriers for HIV testing, and willingness for PIHCT among TB patients in Addis Ababa. Facility-based, cross-sectional study was conducted and 423 TB patients interviewed. A stratified two stage sampling method was used for the selection of study subjects. In the first stage of sampling, eight health centers were selected by simple random sampling. In the second stage of sampling, patients were systematically selected in each selected health center. The study had used quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The prevalence of self reported HIV testing among sampled TB patients was 57%. Adjusted correlates of HIV testing include primary education (AOR=2.04, 95% CI=1.03-4.06), being merchant (AOR=5.67, 95% CI=1.56-20.60), had moderate HIV risk perception (AOR=5.30, 95% CI=1.67-16.82), and high-HIV risk perception (AOR=4.38, 95% CI=1.32-14.55). Patients who had willingness for PIHCT found more likely to have been tested for HIV (AOR=2.32, 95% CI=1.23-4.36). While experiences with client and provider-initiated HIV testing overall were positive, 86.2% of the patients were willing for PIHCT. The only adjusted correlates of willingness for PIHCT were being older age group (AOR=4.16; 95% CI= 1.59-10.81), and had demand for HIV testing (AOR=29.13; 95% CI =13.83-61.32). vi Key testing barriers include self trust (41.1%), lack of risk perception for HIV infection (24.4%), fear of learning positive result (13.9%), and stigma and discrimination attached to TB and HIV as identified in focus group discussions. Early evidence of widespread support for PIHCT and moderate acceptance of HIV testing in this study holds significant promise for the control, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and TB. Concerted efforts to scale up PIHCT, however, must be accompanied by intensive IEC on TB /HIV along with tackling of testing barriers.

description: We present the possibility of steering the direction of correlations between the off-resonant Raman scattered photons from the angularly multimode atomic memory based on warm rubidium vapors. Using acousto-optic deflectors (AOD) driven by different modulation frequencies we experimentally change the angle of incidence of the laser beams on the atomic ensemble. Performing correlations measurements for various deflection angles we verify that we can choose the anti-Stokes light propagation direction independently of the correlated Stokes scattered light in the continuous way. As a result we can select the spatial mode of photons retrieved from the memory, which may be important for future development of quantum information processing.

description: Charged particles in a magnetosphere are spontaneously attracted to a planet while increasing their kinetic energy via inward diffusion process. A constraint on particles' micro-scale adiabatic invariants restricts the class of motions available to the system, giving rise to a proper frame on which particle diffusion occurs. We investigate the inward diffusion process by numerical simulation of particles on constrained phase space. The results reveal the emergence of inhomogeneous density gradient and anisotropic heating, which is consistent with spacecraft observations, experimental observations, and the recently formulated diffusion model on the constrained phase space.

description: GLAM organisations have been exploring the benefits of publishing their digital collections in a wide variety of forms since the 2000s. Many institutions, and in particular libraries, have adopted the Semantic Web and Linked Data principles to their main catalogues. Recent advances in technology and innovative approaches concerning the reuse of the digital collections by means of computational access have paved the way for the creation of Labs within GLAM organisations. In this work, we present a framework to transform the datasets made available by GLAM organisations under open licenses into LOD. The framework has been applied to three metadata datasets made available by the Data Foundry at the National Library of Scotland. The results of this work are publicly available and can be applied to other domains such as digital humanities and data science.

A statistical investigation of the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation

description: We use the mass discrepancy-acceleration relation (the correlation between the ratio of total-to-visible mass and acceleration in galaxies; MDAR) to test the galaxy-halo connection. We analyse the MDAR using a set of 16 statistics that quantify its four most important features: its shape, its scatter, the presence of a "characteristic acceleration scale," and the correlation of its residuals with other galaxy properties. We construct an empirical framework for the galaxy-halo connection in LCDM to generate predictions for these statistics, starting with conventional correlations (halo abundance matching; AM) and introducing more where required. Comparing to the SPARC data, we find that: 1) the approximate shape of the MDAR is readily reproduced by AM, and there is no evidence that the acceleration at which dark matter becomes negligible has less spread in the data than in AM mocks; 2) even under conservative assumptions, AM significantly overpredicts the scatter in the relation and its normalisation at low acceleration, and furthermore positions dark matter too close to galaxies' centres on average; 3) the MDAR affords 2 sigma evidence for an anticorrelation of galaxy size and Hubble type with halo mass or concentration at fixed stellar mass. Our analysis lays the groundwork for a bottom-up determination of the galaxy-halo connection from relations such as the MDAR, provides concrete statistical tests for specific galaxy formation models, and brings into sharper focus the relative evidence accorded by galaxy kinematics to LCDM and modified gravity alternatives.

Classification of $D$-bialgebra structures on power series algebras

Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)

description: In this paper, we use algebro-geometric methods in order to derive classification results for so-called $D$-bialgebra structures on the power series algebra $A[\![z]\!]$ for certain central simple non-associative algebras $A$. These structures are closely related to a version of the classical Yang-Baxter equation (CYBE) over $A$. If $A$ is a Lie algebra, we obtain new proofs for pivotal steps in the known classification of non-degenerate topological Lie bialgebra structures on $A[\![z]\!]$ as well as of non-degenerate solutions of the usual CYBE. If $A$ is associative, we achieve the classification of non-triangular topological balanced infinitesimal bialgebra structures on $A[\![z]\!]$ as well as of all non-degenerate solutions of an associative version of the CYBE.

description: Shaping light deep inside complex media, such as biological tissue, is critical to many research fields. Although the coherent control of scattered light via wavefront shaping has made significant advances in addressing this challenge, controlling light over extended or multiple targets without physical access inside a medium remains elusive. Here we present a phase conjugation method for spatially incoherent light, which enables the non-invasive light control based on incoherent emission from multiple target positions. Our method characterizes the scattering responses of hidden sources by retrieving mutually incoherent scattered fields from speckle patterns. By time-reversing scattered fluorescence with digital phase conjugation, we experimentally demonstrate focusing of light on individual and multiple targets. We also demonstrate maximum energy delivery to an extended target through a scattering medium by exploiting transmission eigenchannels. This paves the way to control light propagation in complex media using incoherent contrasts mechanisms.

description: Lorentz symmetry is one of the pillars of both General Relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. Motivated by ideas about quantum gravity, unification theories and violations of CPT symmetry, a significant effort has been put the last decades into testing Lorentz symmetry. This review focuses on Lorentz symmetry tests performed in the gravitational sector. We briefly review the basics of the pure gravitational sector of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) framework, a formalism developed in order to systematically parametrize hypothetical violations of the Lorentz invariance. Furthermore, we discuss the latest constraints obtained within this formalism including analyses of the following measurements: atomic gravimetry, Lunar Laser Ranging, Very Long Baseline Interferometry, planetary ephemerides, Gravity Probe B, binary pulsars, high energy cosmic rays,... In addition, we propose a combined analysis of all these results. We also discuss possible improvements on current analyses and present some sensitivity analyses for future observations.

description: In this article we combine a recently proposed method for factorisation-aware matrix element surrogates with an unbiased unweighting algorithm. We show that employing a sophisticated neural network emulation of QCD multijet matrix elements based on dipole factorisation can lead to a drastic acceleration of unweighted event generation. We train neural networks for a selection of partonic channels contributing at the tree-level to $Z+4,5$ jets and $t\bar{t}+3,4$ jets production at the LHC which necessitates a generalisation of the dipole emulation model to include initial state partons as well as massive final state quarks. We also present first steps towards the emulation of colour-sampled amplitudes. We incorporate these emulations as fast and accurate surrogates in a two-stage rejection sampling algorithm within the Sherpa Monte Carlo that yields unbiased unweighted events suitable for phenomenological analyses and post-processing in experimental workflows, e.g. as input to a time-consuming detector simulation. For the computational cost of unweighted events we achieve a reduction by factors between $16$ and $350$ for the considered channels.

Effect of maternal characteristics during pregnancy on birth weight of neonates in private and public health facilities of Addis Ababa: a crossectional study
Creators: name: Sebsibe, Samrawit
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Birth weight is a good indicator of the newborn"s chances for survival, long-term health, growth, and psychosocial development. Low birth weight increases the risk for certain adulthood chronic disorders which may increase risk of morbidity and mortality. The present study was intended to determine the effect of maternal characteristics during pregnancy on birth weight of neonates in health facilities. Objective: to determine the effect of maternal characteristics during pregnancy on birth weight of neonates and occurrence of LBW in private and public health facilities of Addis Ababa. Methods: A facility based cross sectional study was conducted on a total of 881women coming to health facility seeking delivery service. The study was performed in selected public and private health facilities of the city from February to march 2016. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire in a face to face interview. Data concerning condition of the mother during time of pregnancy were also collected by reviewing antenatal care (ANC) chart. Epi-Info version 7.0 and stata version 12 was used for data entry and analysis .Univarate analysis was used to measure the magnitude of LBW, Bivariate analysis was used to assess the strength of an association between low birth weight and list of independent variables and test significance of the association. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the important determinants by controlling for possible confounding variables and statistical significance was considered at p-value <0.05. Result The proportion of low birth weight was 14.7%[95% CI:(12.2,17) and among maternal determinants place of antenatal care visits, level of hemoglobin, gestational age, previous history of low birth weight, pregnancy induced hypertension and weight at third trimester were significantly associated with low birth weight. Conclusion and Recommendation: The proportion of low birth weight was high and most of them were associated with maternal obstetric and medical condition which can be prevented by improvement public health intervention on ANC follow up, and giving more attention for mothers history of past adverse outcome and with medical illness

description: We study the LHC phenomenology of the next-to-minimal model of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking (NMGMSB), both for Run I and Run II. The Higgs phenomenology of the model is consistent with observations: a 125 GeV Standard Model-like Higgs which mixes with singlet-like state of mass around 90 GeV that provides a 2$σ$ excess at LEP II. The model possesses regions of parameter space where a longer-lived lightest neutralino decays in the detector into a gravitino and a $b-$jet pair or a tau pair. We investigate current lower bounds on sparticle masses and the discovery potential of the model, both via conventional sparticle searches and via searches for displaced vertices. The strongest bound from searches for promptly decaying sparticles yields a lower limit on the gluino mass of 1080 GeV. An analysis of 100 fb$^{-1}$ from Run II, on the other hand, is expected to be sensitive up to 1900 GeV. The displaced vertex searches from Run I suffer from a very low signal efficiency, mainly due to the presence of $b-$quarks in the final state. We show how the displaced vertex cuts might be relaxed in order to improve signal efficiency, while simultaneous prompt objects can be used to cut down background. We find that a combined search strategy with both prompt and displaced cuts potentially has a far better sensitivity to this model than either set alone, motivating a fully fledged experimental study.

description: Accurate, timely and selective detection of moving obstacles is crucial for reliable collision avoidance in autonomous robots. The area- and energy-inefficiency of CMOS-based spiking neurons for obstacle detection can be addressed through the reconfigurable, tunable and low-power operation capabilities of emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials-based devices. We present an ultra-low power spiking neuron built using an electrostatically tuned dual-gate transistor with an ultra-thin and generic 2D material channel. The 2D subthreshold transistor (2D-ST) is carefully designed to operate under low-current subthreshold regime. Carrier transport has been modelled via over-the-barrier thermionic and Fowler-Nordheim contact barrier tunnelling currents over a wide range of gate and drain biases. Simulation of a neuron circuit designed using the 2D-ST with 45 nm CMOS technology components shows high energy efficiency of ~3.5 pJ/spike and biomimetic class-I as well as oscillatory spiking. It also demonstrates complex neuronal behaviors such as spike-frequency adaptation and post-inhibitory rebound that are crucial for dynamic visual systems. Lobula giant movement detector (LGMD) is a collision-detecting biological neuron found in locusts. Our neuron circuit can generate LGMD-like spiking behavior and detect obstacles at an energy cost of <100 pJ. Further, it can be reconfigured to distinguish between looming and receding objects with high selectivity.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Background: Isoniazid (INH) is given to individuals with latent infection of tuberculosis in order to prevent progression to active disease. It is important to understand factors associated with non-adherence so that high adherence can be maintained or low adherence improved since adherence to effective treatment improves health outcomes. Objective: To assess factors affecting adherence and utilization of IPT in HIV patients and to explore the opinions of patients and health care providers about factors affecting adherence and use of INH Methods: Participants eligible for the study 403 individuals who were HIV positives taking INH on follow up at yekatit 12 hospital randomly selected and Adherence measured by self-report of INH tablets taken for past 3, 7 and 30 days and in depth interview for recruited patients, adherence counselor and health professionals at ART clinic was done. Results: Adherence to INH was 94% by self-report for last 7 days .The odds of adherence to INH was 7.7 [95% CI (2.6, 22.9)]times higher among those with no skin rash compared to patients with skin rash. Conclusion: The prevalence of adherence to INH among people living with HIV in yekatit 12 hospital has a better rate of adherence than other local and African studies and the reasons for poor adherence was strongly associated with occurrence of jaundice, skin rash and seizure and rate of utilization is perceived to be low because of interrupted drug supply. Recommendation: Availability of comprehensive care and support such as nutritional support and appointment per demand adequate time for counseling, follow up, sustainable drug supply, evaluation and treatment of side effects

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are highly dispersed, sporadic radio pulses that are likely extragalactic in nature. Here we investigate the constraints on the source population from surveys carried out at frequencies $<1$~GHz. All but one FRB has so far been discovered in the 1--2~GHz band, but new and emerging instruments look set to become valuable probes of the FRB population at sub-GHz frequencies in the near future. In this paper, we consider the impacts of free-free absorption and multi-path scattering in our analysis via a number of different assumptions about the intervening medium. We consider previous low frequency surveys alongwith an ongoing survey with the University of Technology digital backend for the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (UTMOST) as well as future observations with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) and the Hydrogen Intensity and Real-Time Analysis Experiment (HIRAX). We predict that CHIME and HIRAX will be able to observe $\sim$ 30 or more FRBs per day, even in the most extreme scenarios where free-free absorption and scattering can significantly impact the fluxes below 1~GHz. We also show that UTMOST will detect 1--2 FRBs per month of observations. For CHIME and HIRAX, the detection rates also depend greatly on the assumed FRB distance scale. Some of the models we investigated predict an increase in the FRB flux as a function of redshift at low frequencies. If FRBs are truly cosmological sources, this effect may impact future surveys in this band, particularly if the FRB population traces the cosmic star formation rate.

description: Very little effort has been made in Ethiopia to assess the effect of indoor air p8l1ution at a community level . The aim of the study was to assess exposure to indoor air pollution at a household level and fi nd out the feasibility of using questionnaire in determining exposure level for indoor air pollution . Cross sectional study design was utilized . Data were collected using structured questionnaire , in-depth interview with key informants and child movement recording . Data entry and analysis was done using Epi Info version 6 statistical software . A total of 600 households from the three study areas (rural high land , rural lowland and town)were assessed . Three hundred thirty four(55 . 7%)of the households had high exposure level to indoor smoke . Rural households were less likely to have adequate smoke clearance compared to urban households (OR~O . 3 ; 95% CI~O . 16 , 0 . 54) . Being muslem , married , Mother illiterate and and low economi c status were less likely to De in the low exposure status with adjusted OR(95%CI) of 2 . 24(1.39 , 3 . 54) , 0 . 41(0 . 18 , 0 . 82) , 0 . 36(0 . 2 , 0 . 66)and 0 . 34(0 . 22 , 0 . 54) , respectively . The main source of indoor smoke was biomass fuel used by 98 . 5% for cooking and 29 . 6% for heating . The majority (94 . 9%) were using open type of stove without flue or chimney . The median (SO) of e xposure time by the interview and observation was found to be 180(202) and 125(148) minutes , respecti vely . From this we conclude and recommend that biomass fuels are the principal sources fo r the indoor smoke , the poor socio-demographic and environmental factors expose children to indoor smoke and collecting information about exposure time of under five children using interview and observation methods has no statistically significant difference . Using cleaner fuels , improving social , economic , cultu r al and environmenta l conditions could i mprove the exposure level to indoor smoke . 1

Effect of the Shafranov shift and the gradient of $β$ on intrinsic momentum transport in up-down asymmetric tokamaks

description: Tokamaks with up-down asymmetric poloidal cross-sections spontaneously rotate due to turbulent transport of momentum. In this work, we investigate the effect of the Shafranov shift on this intrinsic rotation, primarily by analyzing tokamaks with tilted elliptical flux surfaces. By expanding the Grad-Shafranov equation in the large aspect ratio limit we calculate the magnitude and direction of the Shafranov shift in tilted elliptical tokamaks. The results show that, while the Shafranov shift becomes up-down asymmetric and depends strongly on the tilt angle of the flux surfaces, it is insensitive to the shape of the current and pressure profiles (when the geometry, total plasma current, and average pressure gradient are kept fixed). Next, local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of these MHD equilibria are performed with GS2, which reveal that the Shafranov shift can significantly enhance the momentum transport. However, to be consistent, the effect of $β'$ (i.e. the radial gradient of $β$) on the magnetic equilibrium was also included, which was found to significantly reduce momentum transport. Including these two competing effects broadens the rotation profile, but leaves the on-axis value of the rotation roughly unchanged. Consequently, the shape of the $β$ profile has a significant effect on the rotation profile of an up-down asymmetric tokamak.

description: A life table for the feral camel population in central Australia is constructed, using an extension of the Gompertz distribution, which was first proposed in a note by the famous mathematician Gauss. It is shown that under certain conditions some important life table parameters can be represented by simple formulae. The derived life table is then used to formulate both a continuous and a discrete model of the camel population. The models yield an annual growth rate of about 7%, a net reproduction rate of about 2.3, and a mean age of population of only 7 years.

description: We present JWST/NIRSpec Integral Field Spectrograph rest-frame optical data of the compact $z=5.55$ galaxy GS_3073. Its prominent broad components in several hydrogen and helium lines (while absent in the forbidden lines), and the detection of a large equivalent width of He II$\lambda4686$, EW(He II) ~ 20A, unambiguously identify it as an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We measure a gas-phase metallicity of $Z_{\rm gas}/Z_\odot\sim0.21^{+0.08}_{-0.04}$, lower than what has been inferred for both more luminous AGN at similar redshift and lower redshift AGN. We empirically show that classical emission line ratio diagnostic diagrams cannot be used to distinguish between the primary ionisation source (AGN or star formation) for such low-metallicity systems, whereas different diagnostic diagrams involving He II$\lambda4686$ prove very useful, independent of metallicity. We measure the central black hole mass to be $\log(M_{\rm BH}/M_\odot)\sim8.2\pm0.4$ based on the luminosity and width of the broad line region of the H$α$ emission. While this places GS_3073 at the lower end of known high-redshift black hole masses, it still appears to be over-massive compared to its host galaxy properties. We detect an outflow with projected velocity $\gtrsim700$ km/s and infer an ionised gas mass outflow rate of about $100\ M_\odot/$yr, suggesting that GS_3073 is able to enrich the intergalactic medium with metals one billion years after the Big Bang.
