description: Continual graph learning (CGL) is an important and challenging task that aims to extend static GNNs to dynamic task flow scenarios. As one of the mainstream CGL methods, the experience replay (ER) method receives widespread attention due to its superior performance. However, existing ER methods focus on identifying samples by feature significance or topological relevance, which limits their utilization of comprehensive graph data. In addition, the topology-based ER methods only consider local topological information and add neighboring nodes to the buffer, which ignores the global topological information and increases memory overhead. To bridge these gaps, we propose a novel method called Feature-Topology Fusion-based Experience Replay (FTF-ER) to effectively mitigate the catastrophic forgetting issue with enhanced efficiency. Specifically, from an overall perspective to maximize the utilization of the entire graph data, we propose a highly complementary approach including both feature and global topological information, which can significantly improve the effectiveness of the sampled nodes. Moreover, to further utilize global topological information, we propose Hodge Potential Score (HPS) as a novel module to calculate the topological importance of nodes. HPS derives a global node ranking via Hodge decomposition on graphs, providing more accurate global topological information compared to neighbor sampling. By excluding neighbor sampling, HPS significantly reduces buffer storage costs for acquiring topological information and simultaneously decreases training time. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, FTF-ER achieves a significant improvement of 3.6% in AA and 7.1% in AF on the OGB-Arxiv dataset, demonstrating its superior performance in the class-incremental learning setting.

description: The delivery of phages to epithelial surfaces for therapeutic outcomes is a realistic proposal, and indeed one which is being currently tested in clinical trials. This paper reviews some of the known research on formulation of phages into semi-solid dosage forms such as creams, ointments and pastes, as well as solid dosage forms such as troches (or lozenges and pastilles) and suppositories/pessaries, for delivery to the epithelia. The efficacy and stability of these phage formulations is discussed, with a focus on selection of optimal semi-solid bases for phage delivery. Issues such as the need for standardisation of techniques for formulation as well as for assessment of efficacy are highlighted. These are important when trying to compare results from a range of experiments and across different delivery bases.

description: Il ms. Brescia, Biblioteca Queriniana, B.II.2, Messale con Calendario, è l’unico codice liturgico-musicale per ora noto che abbia arricchito la dotazione libraria della Cattedrale di Brescia proprio nel Cinquecento. La descrizione codicologica e l’analisi del contenuto consentono di precisarne sia la datazione (post quem 1481 – ante quem 1509), sia la collocazione rispetto alla tradizione, inserendolo nel solco di quella romana francescana di Aimone da Faversham. L’esame, oltre a prendere in considerazione i canti notati e non, si estende alle rubriche dalle quali emergono informazioni concernenti la prassi esecutiva. Lo studio si sofferma infine sul ruolo di questa fonte nel contesto liturgico della Cattedrale attraverso alcuni raffronti con altri testimoni; fra questi il Messale queriniano B.II.5 (sec. XV3/4) e, in particolare, il Graduale in sei volumi appartenente alla serie dei Corali quattrocenteschi del Duomo Vecchio, sul cui contenuto liturgico-musicale si offrono nuove evidenze. Completano il contributo due appendici: la trascrizione testuale di alcuni riti tràditi nel Messale in oggetto e l’indice dei formulari.

description: La ricerca analizza alcuni codici conservati presso la Biblioteca Queriniana di Brescia, databili alla seconda metà del XV secolo. Lo studio delle loro caratteristiche paleografiche, codicologiche e di contenuto, in relazione alle rispettive tipologie di libri liturgici, ha permesso di rilevare le loro particolarità comuni, mentre l’analisi dei santi è stata utile a riconoscere alcuni aspetti della loro possibile origine e provenienza dal monastero domenicano femminile di S. Caterina a Brescia. Confronti con manoscritti conservati in altre biblioteche e già attribuiti al monastero di S. Caterina mettono in luce caratteristiche rinvenibili nel gruppo dei codici queriniani; in particolare la presenza di alcune “aggiunte”, posizionate alla fine dei codici, di versioni in notazione mensurale del Benedicamus domino e del tropo Verbum patris hodie, consentono di stabilire utili collegamenti con i manoscritti bresciani. Lo studio è completato da tabelle contenenti l’elenco degli incipit di tutti i testi presenti in ognuno dei sette codici che compongono il gruppo.

description: Since the discovery of two-dimensional ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials, the van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures constructed by ferroelectric and ferromagnetic monolayers have soon become the ideal platforms to achieve converse magnetoelectric functions at the nanoscale, namely to use electric field to control magnetization. In this Letter, by employing density functional theory calculations and dynamic simulations of atomic spin model, we study the key role of interfacial Dzyaloshinshii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in CrI$_3$-In$_2$Se$_3$ vdW heterostructures. Our work demonstrates feasible DMI torques pumped by ferroelectric switching, which can drive current-free and low-energy consumption domain wall motion. Moreover, such interfacial DMI can also significantly enlarge the Walker field in magnetic field-driven domain wall technique.

description: “Moves intended to initiate de-escalation and begin a peace process are often difficult to make and even more difficult to identify unambiguously. Two examples from recent Anglo-Argentine relations provide a basis for investigating whether successful gestures of conciliation demonstrate any common qualities or occur only in highly propitious circumstances. A number of hypotheses are advanced concerning characteristics which enhance a gesture's credibility and chances of success. Although it is noted that even gestures attempting to signal a clear ‘willingness to talk’ with an adversary, which demonstrate these characteristics, can be missed entirely, misinterpreted, or ignored by a Target firmly committed to continuing the conflict by coercive means; the initiation of a successful process of conflict termination remains a highly uncertain procedure. “

description: The gas-phase metallicity of galaxies is regulated by multiple astrophysical processes, which makes it a crucial diagnostic of galaxy formation and evolution. Beyond the fundamental mass-metallicity relation, a debate about the secondary galaxy property to predict the metallicity of galaxies arises. Motivated by this, we systematically examine the relationship between gas-phase metallicity and other galaxy properties, i.e. star formation rate (SFR) and galaxy size, in addition to stellar mass in both observation and simulation. We utilize the data from the MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) survey and the TNG50 simulations. We find that the combination of $M_*/R_{\rm e}^β$ with $β\sim 0.6-1$ is in much stronger correlation to the metallicity than stellar mass alone, regardless of whether the SFR is included or not, in both observation and simulation. This indicates that galaxy size plays a more important role in determining gas-phase metallicity of galaxies than SFR. In addition, the TNG simulation predicts that the SFR, although being a subdominant role, becomes increasingly important in high-$z$ universe. Finally, we speculate that SFR modulates metallicity on the temporal dimension, synchronized with time-varying gas inflows, and galaxy size regulates metallicity on the spatial dimension by affecting the gravitational potential and the mass loading factor.

description: The advent of 6G networks will present a pivotal juncture in the evolution of telecommunications, marked by the proliferation of devices, dynamic service requests, and the integration of edge and cloud computing. In response to these transformative shifts, this paper proposes a service and resource discovery architecture as part of service provisioning for the future 6G edge-cloud-continuum. Through the architecture's orchestration and platform components, users will have access to services efficiently and on time. Blockchain underpins trust in this inherently trustless environment, while semantic networking dynamically extracts context from service requests, fostering efficient communication and service delivery. A key innovation lies in dynamic overlay zoning, which not only optimizes resource allocation but also endows our architecture with scalability, adaptability, and resilience. Notably, our architecture excels at predictive capabilities, harnessing learning algorithms to anticipate user and service instance behavior, thereby enhancing network responsiveness and preserving service continuity. This comprehensive architecture paves the way for unparalleled resource optimization, latency reduction, and seamless service delivery, positioning it as an instrumental pillar in the unfolding 6G landscape. Simulation results show that our architecture provides near-optimal timely responses that significantly improve the network's potential, offering scalable and efficient service and resource discovery.

description: Cross-domain NER is a practical yet challenging problem since the data scarcity in the real-world scenario. A common practice is first to learn a NER model in a rich-resource general domain and then adapt the model to specific domains. Due to the mismatch problem between entity types across domains, the wide knowledge in the general domain can not effectively transfer to the target domain NER model. To this end, we model the label relationship as a probability distribution and construct label graphs in both source and target label spaces. To enhance the contextual representation with label structures, we fuse the label graph into the word embedding output by BERT. By representing label relationships as graphs, we formulate cross-domain NER as a graph matching problem. Furthermore, the proposed method has good applicability with pre-training methods and is potentially capable of other cross-domain prediction tasks. Empirical results on four datasets show that our method outperforms a series of transfer learning, multi-task learning, and few-shot learning methods.

description: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients and the dystrophic mdx mouse have an elevated demand for ATP requiring processes, including Ca 2+ regulation and skeletal muscle regeneration. As a key substrate for cellular ATP production, altered glycogen metabolism may contribute significantly to dystrophic pathology and explain reports of mild glucose intolerance. We compare the soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of the mdx mouse during active muscle necrosis (at 28 days) and at 70 days where pathology is stable. We further investigate the impact of taurine (tau) on dystrophic glycogen metabolism to identify if the benefit seen with tau in a previous study (Barker et al. 2017) was in part owed to altered glycogen handling. The soleus muscle of 28- and 70-day-old mdx mice had elevated glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), glycogenin protein abundances and glycogen content compared to WT (C57BL10/ScSn) controls. Mdx tau mice exhibited modestly reduced glycogen compared to their respective mdx group. The EDL muscle of 28 days mdx tau mice had a ~70% increase in glycogenin protein abundance compared to the mdx but 50% less glycogen content. A twofold greater phosphorylated glycogen synthase (p-GS) and glycogen phosphorylase (p-GP) protein abundance was observed in the 70-day-old mdx soleus muscle than in the 28-day-old mdx soleus muscle. Glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE) protein abundance was elevated in both 28- and 70-day-old mdx soleus muscles compared to WT controls. We identified an increase in proteins associated with glucose uptake and utilization specific to the predominantly slow-twitch soleus muscle of mdx mice regardless of age and that taurine affords no obvious benefit to glycogen metabolism in the mdx mouse.
title: Conflict Resolution as a Political System

Publisher: name: School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution
Year: 1988

description: “‘Conflict Resolution as a political System" was the first of the Institute's series of working Papers to be published, and when it came out in 1988 both the author and the then Director regarded the series as a vehicle for timely ‘think pieces’ or reports of research in progress at the Institute, then only a small Center. John Burton's original paper was introduced as extending the boundaries of conflict resolution and offering ‘. . .a view of what the field's fundamental philosophy should be...’ Over the last five years, however, it has become more and more evident that one of the fundamental problems facing the so called ‘Post Cold War World’ is the intellectual and practical construction of innovative forms of political systems, to replace the dominant model of the unitary, "‘national", territorial state which, in the real world, has increasingly been shown to be non-unitary, multi-national, and inconveniently unwilling to remain confined to assigned chunks of state territory. Without new thinking about possible and appropriate forms of political organization, that contain within themselves means of resolving inevitable conflicts, the ‘Post Cold War World’ seems likely to become the Small Shooting War World and to be filled with Bosnias, Somalias, Ngorno Karabakhs, or Afghanistans. Hence, the Institute's decision to republish John Burton's piece is both a timely response to the need to rethink the fundamentals of political organisation and a reminder of the liveliness of Burton's original work, which still has much to say about the world of the mid-1990s.”

description: This study examines the growing population of married and formally committed same-sex couples by performing a qualitative investigation of their wedding rituals and the ways in which they negotiate gendered wedding traditions. Respondents’ weddings closely followed a heteronormative wedding script, but also adapted some heterosexual rituals to maintain their cultural relevance in an LGBT setting. As same-sex marriage exists in a hostile social and legal climate, adherence to and adaptation of this cultural script is a strategy to attain social legitimacy in the face of social and political oppression. The study further investigates same-sex weddings as a site for identity performance, and describes the ways in which same-sex couples perform self- and community identity through wedding and commitment ceremonies. Particular attention is paid to the use of language to perform or sublimate LGBT identity based on the perception of safety. Finally, the study examines the impact of same-sex ceremonies on the cultural framework they inhabit. Same-sex ceremonies can alter notions of gendered behavior by creating a ceremony without rigid gender roles that is free from the encumbrance of patriarchal stigma. Furthermore, same-sex ceremonies can affect the perception and expression of LGBT identity. The “marriage debate” present in literature by and about the LGBT community seems irrelevant to younger same-sex couples, and the study hypothesizes the existence of a generation gap within the LGBT community regarding marriage.

This protocol avoids the gold(iii) chloride bond activation pathway commonly employed to access these functionalities. For example exposure of [LAu(iii)L′]OTf (L = N,N,N-terpyridine, L′ = 4-DMAP) to RH (R = OCH , OAc, Ph-) results in the facile formation of the corresponding functionalised gold(iii) complexes [LAu(iii)R]OTf.

description: Abstract: Introduction: Preventing and reducing violence against women (VAW) and maternal mortality are Sustainable Development Goals. Worldwide, the maternal mortality ratio has fallen about 44% in the last 25 years, and for one maternal death there are many women affected by severe acute maternal morbidity (SAMM) requiring management in the intensive care unit (ICU). These women represent the most critically ill obstetric patients of the maternal morbidity spectrum and should be studied to complement the review of maternal mortality. VAW has been associated with all-cause maternal deaths, and since many women (30%) endure violence usually exerted by their intimate partners and this abuse can be severe during pregnancy, it is important to determine whether it impacts SAMM. Thus, this study aims to investigate the impact of VAW on SAMM in the ICU. Methods and analysis: This will be a prospective case-control study undertaken in a tertiary healthcare facility in Lima-Peru, with a sample size of 109 cases (obstetric patients admitted to the ICU) and 109 controls (obstetric patients not admitted to the ICU selected by systematic random sampling). Data on social determinants, medical and obstetric characteristics, VAW, pregnancy and neonatal outcome will be collected through interviews and by extracting information from the medical records using a pretested form. Main outcome will be VAW rate and neonatal mortality rate between cases and controls. VAW will be assessed by using the WHO instrument. Binary logistic followed by stepwise multivariate regression and goodness of fit test will assess any association between VAW and SAMM. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval has been granted by the La Trobe University, Melbourne-Australia and the tertiary healthcare facility in Lima-Peru. This research follows the WHO ethical and safety recommendations for research on VAW. Findings will be presented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.

description: Poor participant engagement undermines individual and public health benefits of early intervention programs. This study assessed the extent to which three types of engagement (participant enrolment, retention and involvement) were influenced by individual, program and contextual factors. Data were from a cluster randomised controlled trial (N = 1447) of a community-based parenting program, delivered at two levels of intensity (group sessions with and without individualised home coaching) conducted in Victoria, Australia. Individual (parent and family) factors and program factors were assessed by parent report and administrative records, and contextual factors by area-level population statistics. Data were analysed using multilevel logistic or linear regression models. Individual and contextual factors predicted enrolment, while family and program factors were more influential on program retention and parents’ active involvement. Provision of individualised support was important to all forms of engagement, particularly for families experiencing the greatest barriers to participation. These findings indicate that different strategies are required to effectively support families in the processes of enrolling, continuing to attend and actively participating in early intervention programs.

description: Despite political and economic volatility and limitations on travel, exchange, and employment, the Cuban people have demonstrated resilience. This dissertation examines the mechanisms—entrepreneurship, transnational ties, and information flows – that contribute to their resilience. As one Cuban stated, “Cubans are inventors; we always come up with solutions and we always come up strong.” By analyzing historical accounts and literature, in-person interviews conducted in Havana in 2016 and 2019, and survey data from 2020, this dissertation shows how Cubans leverage transnational remittance networks and find entrepreneurial ways to exchange money, goods, and information. Chapter 1 applies the theories of entrepreneurship, as developed by Joseph Schumpeter and Israel Kirzner, to understand the creative ways Cubans receive and use remittance money sent from the United States to provide private aid. This chapter examines remittance activities between the U.S. and Cuba since 1993 and finds that remittance senders, recipients, and aid providers act as entrepreneurs by leveraging local, context-specific knowledge and social connections to identify needs and invent new, creative ways to provide aid. Chapter 2 further analyzes the behavior of remittance-senders through the lens of economic circuits, as developed by Viviana Zelizer, and coproduction, as developed by Elinor Ostrom. Analysis of survey data and interviews reveal that the transnational ties that make up circuits act as a mechanism not just for economic relief, but for social, economic, and institutional exchange in Cuba. Further, it finds that US policy changes in 2019 affected between 12 and 36 percent of remittance senders by restricting either the desired amount they wished to send or limiting the intended recipient pool. Chapter 3 examines the role of popularly remitted items, such as cell phones and computers, that facilitate the flow of digital information and communication between Cubans and Americans. It finds that remittance networks promote access to information and ideas from abroad has a net positive effect on social and economic outcomes and can lead to persistent institutional change.

title: Covid-19 and the Black Experience: An Examination of the Interrelationship of Individual Accounts of Disease
Creators: name: Dandridge, DéShondra
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: COVID-19
subject: Social roles
subject: Isolation
subject: Loneliness

description: The thesis investigates the impact that social and cultural expectations have on how African Americans experience disease. This thesis sheds light on the nationwide development of COVID-19 and focuses on the experiences of four individuals living in or around Richmond, Virginia. The interviews show that each individual's response to and experience of having Covid was imbricated with their societal roles and cultural expectations. The first interview follows the experience of a student-athlete and the disruption of her sense of normalcy. The physical isolation from having COVID-19 severely impacts mental health and the ability to uphold one's social role.The second interview centers on the experience of a stay-at-home- mom and how COVID-19 heightens the experience of motherhood and its responsibilities. The third interviewee is a working dad who strives to uphold normalcy, heightening his role as a father and a caregiver. The fourth and final interviewee is a working young male who tries to maintain a normal lifestyle while battling loneliness and despair in a pandemic environment. This thesis intends to be a reference and resource for individuals interested in the perspectives of African Americans during times of public health crisis.

description: Objective: To examine the relative frequency of use of seven strategies to moderate drinking (SMD) among low-risk and risky drinkers. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the 2013 National Drug Strategy Household Survey was used. The analytical sample included 11,462 Australians aged 18-64 who had consumed alcohol in the previous year. Logistic regression was used. Results: Analyses indicated a curvilinear relationship between use of SMD and alcohol consumption. Across the seven SMD, constant use of a strategy, compared with never using a strategy, was associated with low-risk drinking. Never using a strategy, compared with using one rarely, was also associated with low-risk drinking. When used occasionally, strategies that implied less alcohol consumed per hour (e.g. refuse unwanted drinks) increased the likelihood of low-risk drinking, whereas less direct strategies (e.g. counting drinks) increased the likelihood of risky drinking. Conclusions: Adult Australians who drink at low levels use a range of strategies to moderate their alcohol consumption. Overall, consistent use of one or more SMD was associated with low-risk drinking patterns. Implications: Public health responses to risky drinking may be enhanced by promoting the consistent use of SMD as a way to reduce overall alcohol consumption.

description: Background: Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a pseudo-cereal originally cultivated in the Andean region. The popularity of its seeds has increased in recent years due to the claims of health benefits and superfood qualities. Studies to date on the health benefits of quinoa have been restricted to animal models, and the results provide weak to moderate evidence to support improved plasma lipid profiles. Clinical trials in humans to examine the claims of health benefits of quinoa are limited to a few prospective studies and one randomized trial carried out in postmenopausal women. To our knowledge, no studies have been conducted in the general population. Objective: The objective of this randomized clinical trial was to investigate the effect of different quinoa doses (25 and 50 g/d) on body composition, serum lipids and hormones, and nutrient intakes in overweight and obese humans. Methods: This was a dose-response randomized, controlled, single-blind trial with a parallel design (1 control and 2 treatment groups) that compared the effect of 25 and 50 g quinoa/d in 50 overweight and obese participants over a 12-wk intervention period. Results: Body composition, nutrient intake, and total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol were not significantly altered by quinoa consumption (P > 0.05). Mean serum triglyceride (TG) concentration was reduced significantly in the 50-g quinoa group from 1.14 to 0.72 mmol/L at 12 wk (P < 0.05). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was also reduced in this group by 70%. No significant changes in TGs were observed in the control and 25-g quinoa groups. The prevalence of MetS was reduced by 40% (from n = 7 at baseline to n = 4 at 12 wk) in the 25-g group. Conclusions: The consumption of 50 g quinoa/d lowers serum TGs in overweight and obese participants and reduces the prevalence of MetS.
title: Multi-Objective Preliminary Design Optimization of Planing Craft Using Differential Evolution and Artificial Networks

description: The differential evolution (DE) algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm that has been utilized as a metaheuristic optimizer in the last few years. A recently developed multi-objective version of DE is utilized in this research in order to optimize the preliminary design of planing craft. The craft performance is evaluated using the planing hull preliminary design software PHAST. The optimization problem objectives are the craft acquisition cost and the overall measure of effectiveness; the latter comprises various performance aspects: ride quality, transportability, payload, and mobility. Static stability and operating constraints are also considered. Each of the aforementioned four measures of effectiveness and the craft acquisition cost is approximated using a surrogate model based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) and generated using the data mining software WEKA. The constraints are modeled via a single surrogate model that performs classification between feasible and infeasible designs. The proposed methodology is applied to the design of a riverine combat craft at two design speeds. It is shown that the surrogate-assisted multi-objective DE optimizer is capable of finding accurate Pareto-optimal solutions in only two optimization cycles.
