description: We report about the optical and electrical characterization of three high efficiency and blue sensitive Silicon photomultipliers from FBK, Hamamatsu, and SensL. Key features of the tested devices when operated at 90% breakdown probability are peak photon detection efficiencies between 40% and 55%, temperature dependencies of gain and PDE that are less than 1%/$^{\circ}$C, dark rates of $\sim$50\,kHz/mm$^{2}$ at room temperature, afterpulsing of about 2%, and direct optical crosstalk between 6% and 20%. The characteristics of all three devices impressively demonstrate how the Silicon-photomultiplier technology has improved over the past ten years. It is further demonstrated how the voltage and temperature characteristics of a number of quantities can be parameterized on the basis of physical models. The models provide a deeper understanding of the device characteristics over a wide bias and temperature range. They also serve as examples how producers could provide the characteristics of their SiPMs to users. A standardized parameterization of SiPMs would enable users to find the optimal SiPM for their application and the operating point of SiPMs without having to perform measurements thus significantly reducing design and development cycles.

description: We analyse the smooth and sharp creation of a pointlike source for a quantised massless scalar field in $(3+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, as a model for the breakdown of correlations that has been proposed to occur at the horizon of an evaporating black hole. The creation is implemented by a time-dependent self-adjointness parameter at the excised spatial origin. In a smooth creation, the renormalised energy density $\langle T_{00} \rangle$ is well defined away from the source, but it is unbounded both above and below: the outgoing pulse contains an infinite negative energy, while a cloud of infinite positive energy lingers near the fully-formed source. In the sharp creation limit, $\langle T_{00} \rangle$ diverges everywhere in the timelike future of the creation event, and so does the response of an Unruh-DeWitt detector that operates in the timelike future of the creation event. The source creation is significantly more singular than the corresponding process in $1+1$ dimensions, analysed previously, and it may be sufficiently singular to break quantum correlations as proposed in a black hole spacetime.

description: We theoretically investigate spin transport in half-metallic ferromagnets at finite temperatures. The side-jump and skew-scattering contributions to spin Hall conductivity are derived using the Kubo formula. The electron-magnon interaction causes a finite density of states in the energy gap of the minority-spin band and induces spin Hall conductivity. We show that spin Hall conductivity is proportional to $T^{3/2}$, with $T$ being temperature and is sensitive to $T$. We propose that spin Hall conductivity may be a tool to study the minority-spin state.

Non-linear partially massless symmetry in an SO(1,5) continuation of conformal gravity

description: We construct a non-linear theory of interacting spin-2 fields that is invariant under the partially massless (PM) symmetry to all orders. This theory is based on the SO(1,5) group, in analogy with the SO(2,4) formulation of conformal gravity, but has a quadratic spectrum free of ghost instabilities. The action contains a vector field associated to a local SO(2) symmetry which is manifest in the vielbein formulation of the theory. We show that, in a perturbative expansion, the SO(2) symmetry transmutes into the PM transformations of a massive spin-2 field. In this context, the vector field is crucial to circumvent earlier obstructions to an order-by-order construction of PM symmetry. Although the non-linear theory lacks enough first class constraints to remove all helicity-0 modes from the spectrum, the PM transformations survive to all orders. The absence of ghosts and strong coupling effects at the non-linear level are not addressed here.

description: A quantum spin liquid is an exotic quantum state of matter in which spins are highly entangled and remain disordered down to zero temperature. Such a state of matter is potentially relevant to high-temperature superconductivity and quantum-information applications, and experimental identification of a quantum spin liquid state is of fundamental importance for our understanding of quantum matter. Theoretical studies have proposed various quantum-spin-liquid ground states, most of which are characterized by exotic spin excitations with fractional quantum numbers (termed `spinon'). Here, we report neutron scattering measurements that reveal broad spin excitations covering a wide region of the Brillouin zone in a triangular antiferromagnet YbMgGaO4. The observed diffusive spin excitation persists at the lowest measured energy and shows a clear upper excitation edge, which is consistent with the particle-hole excitation of a spinon Fermi surface. Our results therefore point to a QSL state with a spinon Fermi surface in YbMgGaO4 that has a perfect spin-1/2 triangular lattice as in the original proposal of quantum spin liquids.

description: Polarized light microscopy using path-entangled $N$-photon states (i.e., the N00N states) has been demonstrated to surpass the shot-noise limit at very low light illumination. However, the microscopy images suffer from divergence of phase sensitivity, which inevitably reduces the image quality. Here, we show that due to experimental imperfections, such a singularity also takes place in the microscopy that uses twin-Fock states of light for illumination. We propose two schemes to completely eliminate this singularity: (i) locking the phase shift sensed by the beams at the optimal working point, by using a spatially dependent offset phase; (ii) a combination of two binary-outcome photon counting measurements, one with a fixed offset phase and the other without any offset phase. Our observations remain valid for any kind of binary-outcome measurement and may open the way for quantum-enhanced microscopy with high $N$ photon states.

Objetivo: desarrollar el registro nacional de porfirias hepáticas agudas en Colombia y presentar la prevalencia de la enfermedad, las características clínicas y demográficas de los participantes, así como la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, los ataques recurrentes y el uso de hemina profiláctica. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal, en pacientes adultos con diagnóstico de porfirias hepáticas agudas en Colombia, se estimó la incidencia y la prevalencia, se describieron las características clínicas, socio demográficas y de los ataques agudos, también se evaluó la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud con el cuestionario SF-36. Resultados: se incluyeron 41 pacientes, 90.2% mujeres. Todos los pacientes cursaron con dolor abdominal durante un ataque agudo, el 98% presentó plejia/paresia, al igual que taquicardia. Las alteraciones psiquiátricas estuvieron presentes en 90% de los casos, 61% de los pacientes tenía ataques recurrentes, pero solo el 17% usaban hemina profiláctica. Hasta en un 92% de los casos se identificaron precipitantes de los ataques siendo la tensión psicológica el más frecuente. Se presentaron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre ataques recurrentes y dificultad respiratoria. La menstruación, las infecciones y la tensión psicológica se correlacionaron con una mayor presentación de ataques recurrentes. Fueron 40 los participantes que contestaron el SF-36, el valor global fue de 51,4 (media), el mejor puntaje fue para el dominio salud mental y el peor para rol físico, los hombres presentaron una peor puntuación global y los participantes con ataques recurrentes describieron una peor calidad de vida (p<0.01). Conclusión: el registro colombiano nacional de PHA describió 41 pacientes en todo el territorio nacional. La porfiria intermitente aguda fue la más frecuente, mientras que la calidad de vida estaba deteriorada en los pacientes con porfirias hepáticas agudas y mucho más en los que describieron presentar ataques recurrentes.

description: We investigated anticancer effects of the crude polysaccharides (CPs) isolated from Ecklonia cava enzymatic extracts using AMG, Viscozyme, Protamex, and Alcalase enzyme against a colon cancer cell line, CT26 cells. Among them, the CP of Protamex extract (PCP) contained the highest fucose and sulfated group contents and showed the highest growth inhibitory effect against CT-26 cells. In addition, PCP dose-dependently increased the formation of apoptotic body and the percentage of Sub-G1 DNA contents. Also, PCP activated caspase 9 and PARP as regulating the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2. Moreover, PPP2, a fraction purified from PCP showed the highest growth inhibitory effect against CT 26 cells with the increased fucose and sulfated group contents. The results demonstrate that the isolated SP containing plentiful fucose and sulfated group contents has the anticancer effect on colon cancer cells via regulation of Bcl-2/Bax signal pathway.

New insight on the origin of the double red clump in the Milky Way bulge

description: The double red clump (RC) observed in the Milky Way bulge is widely interpreted as evidence for an X-shaped structure. We have recently suggested, however, an alternative interpretation based on the multiple population phenomenon, where the bright RC is from helium enhanced second-generation stars (G2), while the faint RC is representing first-generation stars (G1) with normal helium abundance. Here our RC models are constructed in a large parameter space to see the effects of metallicity, age, and helium abundance on the double RC feature. Our models show that the luminosity of RC stars is mainly affected by helium abundance, while the RC color is primarily affected by metallicity. The effect of age is relatively small, unless it is older than 12 Gyr or much younger than 6 Gyr. The observed double RC feature can therefore be reproduced in a relatively large parameter space, once ΔY between G2 and G1 is assumed to be greater than $\sim$0.10. We further show that the longitude dependence of the double RC feature at $b \approx -8.5 °$, which was pointed out by Gonzalez et al. (2015) as a potential problem of our model, is well explained in our scenario by a classical bulge embedded in a tilted bar.

description: A linear correlation is found between the magnitude of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations and the nuclear binding energy per nucleon with pairing energy removed. By using this relation, the strengths of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations of some unmeasured nuclei are predicted. Discussions on nucleon-nucleon pairing energy and nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations are made. The found nuclear dependence of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlations may shed some lights on the short-range structure of nucleus.

description: We study the production of a light gauge boson in $K^- \to π^- X$ decay, where the associated new charge current is not conserved. It is found that the process can be generated by the tree-level $W$-boson annihilation and loop-induced $s\to dX$. We find that it strongly depends on the $SU(3)$ limit or the unique gauge coupling to the quarks, whether the decay amplitude of $K^-\to π^- X$ in the $W$-boson annihilation is suppressed by $m^2_X ε_X \cdot p_K$; however, no such suppression is found via the loop-induced $s\to d X$. The constraints on the relevant couplings are studied.

description: Der Diskurs zum „Lebenslangen Lernen“ und der Bologna-Prozess haben eine Form der Wissensproduktion in den Blick gerückt, der bisher in der akademischen Ausbildung ein Schattendasein führte: die wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung. Zwar wird in vielen Positionspapieren und Hochschulrahmengesetzen davon gesprochen, aber eine reale Bedeutung hat sie bisher in Deutschland – im Gegensatz zum angloamerikanischen Raum – noch nicht. Bisher ist die wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung ausschließlich unter der Perspektive der Erziehungswissenschaft, genauer der Berufs- und Erwachsenenpädagogik betrachtet worden. Eine Forschungslücke besteht bisher darin, dass die wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung nicht aus organisationssoziologischer Perspektive betrachtet wurde (vgl. Weber 2005). Zur Schließung dieser Forschungslücke soll der Artikel einen Beitrag leisten. Die wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung ist an der Grenze der Organisation Universität angesiedelt und stellt eine institutionalisierte Grenzstelle zur Umwelt dar. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Artikels steht die Frage, wie diese Grenzstelle organisiert werden muss, damit die Brücke zwischen Organisation und Umwelt ihrer Funktion gerecht werden kann. Genauer formuliert lautet das Problem also: Wie kann wissenschaftliche Weiterbildung als Grenzstelle zwischen Universitäten und Unternehmen so organisiert werden, dass gemeinsame Wissensarbeit ermöglicht wird? Damit ist zugleich eine Form der Wissensproduktion beschrieben, die zunehmend ein immer größeres Gewicht erlangt.

Spectrum of area in the Faddeev formulation of gravity

description: Faddeev formulation of general relativity (GR) is considered where the metric is composed of ten vector fields or a ten-dimensional tetrad. Upon partial use of the field equations, this theory results in the usual GR. Earlier we have proposed first-order representation of the minisuperspace model for the Faddeev formulation where the tetrad fields are piecewise constant on the polytopes like 4-simplices or, say, cuboids into which ${\rm R}^4$ can be decomposed, an analogue of the Cartan-Weyl connection-type form of the Hilbert-Einstein action in the usual continuum GR. In the Hamiltonian formalism, the tetrad bilinears are canonically conjugate to the orthogonal connection matrices. We evaluate the spectrum of the elementary areas, functions of the tetrad bilinears. The spectrum is discrete and proportional to the Faddeev analog $γ_{\rm F}$ of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter $γ$. The possibility of the tetrad and metric discontinuities in the Faddeev gravity allows to consider any surface as consisting of a set of virtually independent elementary areas and its spectrum being the sum of the elementary spectra. Requiring consistency of the black hole entropy calculations known in the literature we are able to estimate $γ_{\rm F}$.

description: A series of 5,7-dibromoisatin semicarbazones have been synthesized in good yield, involving aryl urea and aryl semicarbazide formation. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of their spectral data. All the compounds were evaluated for anticonvulsant and CNS depressant activities. Anticonvulsant activity was determined after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration to mice by maximal electroshock (MES) induced seizure method and minimal motor impairment was determined by rotarod test. A computational study was carried out for prediction of pharmacokinetic properties and making them potentially promising agents for the treatment of epilepsy. Compounds (Z)-1-(5,7-dibromo-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-4-(4-chlorophenyl)semicarbazide (DH-05), (Z)-1-(5,7-dibromo-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-4-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)semicarbazide (DH-11) and (Z)-1-(5,7-dibromo-1-methyl-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-4-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)semicarbazide (DH-12) exhibited prominent anticonvulsant effect in the series with little or no neurotoxicity and little CNS depressant effect as compared to standard drug.

News media in European democracies and beyond: stable structural conditions but notorious deficits
Creators: name: Tomaz, Tales

Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2022

description: The research and monitoring project “Media for Democracy Monitor (MDM) 2021” concluded its third round of investigation by publishing its findings in an edited volume in 2022. This article informs about the theoretical concept, the methodology and approach, the main findings, but also about the unconventional research process itself. Core findings include that leading news media remain core institutions in the diverse types of contemporary democracies, despite the ever-growing recognition and use of digital news formats. However, notorious weaknesses remain over time, such as high degrees of commercialisation, ownership concentration and gender imbalances and inequalities. Leading news media in Europe differ from those in other parts of the world regarding their internal governance and editorial independence. Member states of the European Union score slightly better in the MDM 2021 than others. Keywords: media democracy; editorial independence; media monitoring, news digitalization; news gender balance; journalism harassment.

description: We model changes of magnetic ordering in Mn-antiperovskite nitrides driven by biaxial lattice strain at zero and at finite temperature. We employ a non-collinear spin-polarised density functional theory to compare the response of the geometrically frustrated exchange interactions to a tetragonal symmetry breaking (the so called piezomagnetic effect) across a range of Mn$_3$AN (A = Rh, Pd, Ag, Co, Ni, Zn, Ga, In, Sn) at zero temperature. Building on the robustness of the effect we focus on Mn$_3$GaN and extend our study to finite temperature using the disordered local moment (DLM) first-principles electronic structure theory to model the interplay between the ordering of Mn magnetic moments and itinerant electron states. We discover a rich temperature-strain magnetic phase diagram with two previously unreported phases stabilised by strains larger than 0.75\% and with transition temperatures strongly dependent on strain. We propose an elastocaloric cooling cycle crossing two of the available phase transitions to achieve simultaneously a large isothermal entropy change (due to the first order transition) and a large adiabatic temperature change (due to the second order transition).

description: Tumor incidence for renal cell carcinoma is two-fold higher in males than in females. Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) gene family have been shown to be relevant for carcinogenesis. However, little is known about a possible gender specific role of PKC in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we quantified expression of eleven PKC-isoforms in clear cell RCCs (ccRCC) and in the corresponding normal renal tissue. A possible association of PKC-isoforms with gender of the patients was examined. Tissue specimens of 27 patients, 14 males and 13 females, with ccRCC and of the corresponding normal renal tissue were examined. Expression of PKC-isoforms were detected by Western blot analysis and quantified by computer-aided integration. In ccRCCs, as well as in the corresponding normal renal tissue, all PKC-isoforms except PKCy and 0 were detectable. Clear associations with gender of the patients were observed: (i) PKCd was reduced in tumor tissue of female patients (p = 0.023), but not of male patients (p = 0.198). (ii) A 3.6-fold enhanced expression of the oncogene PKC? was found in tumor tissue of female compared to male patients (p = 0.049). Gender specific differences in PKCd as well as PKCn expression suggest that different molecular mechanisms are relevant for carcinogenesis of ccRCC in male and female patients. This may become important for classification and treatment of ccRCC.

Le piattaforme per la partecipazione digitale dei cittadini. Un'analisi basata sul modello di UE e Italia.

Publisher: name: De Europa
Year: 2022

description: Il testo si propone di considerare e confrontare le esperienze europee e italiane di produzione, gestione, valutazione di piattaforme digitali per la partecipazione dei cittadini alle politiche pubbliche. Diversi obiettivi, modelli di costruzione, scelta delle finalità caratterizzano i due sistemi, europeo e italiano: il primo volto a sollecitare una partecipazione ideale verso il modello di Europa del futuro; il secondo è concretamente orientato all'esperienza di partecipazione, con participatory budget e allocazione di risorse per politiche pubbliche localizzate e con obiettivi tangibili (es. riqualificazione delle città). Dal confronto e dalla sintesi di queste due esperienze si possono trarre utili elementi teorici ed empirici per un ulteriore sviluppo delle piattaforme digitali per la partecipazione dei cittadini, in un contesto di crescente domanda partecipativa attraverso formati e strumenti non convenzionali. The article proposes to consider and compare European and Italian experiences in the production, management and evaluation of digital platforms for citizens' participation in public policies. Different aims, models and goals characterize in different ways European and Italian systems. The first is aimed to promote an ideal participation coherently with the Europe vision for the future. On the contrary, the Italian one is concretely oriented towards the experience of direct participation, with specific budget and resources to support public policies with more tangible objectives (e.g. requalification of cities). From the comparison of these two experiences it is possible to derive some useful theoretical and empirical elements for the further development of digital platforms for citizen participation. This in a context of growing participatory demand through unconventional formats and tools. Keywords: participatory platforms, EU, Italy, digital participation, citizens’ participation

EU participatory democracy and EU News Media - Between complementary policies and sectoral needs - A reality check

description: Supporting a resilient democracy and a healthier media sector are at the heart of the political debate regarding the future of Europe. At the end of 2020, the European Commission launched two interrelated action plans – the European Democracy Action Plan and the European Media and Audiovisual Action Plan – which aim to address democracy and media holistically, for supporting a pluralist public sphere, in which empowered and informed citizens are an essential part. In the academic literature, the role of meaningful political participation in a functioning democracy is widely researched and acknowledged. The same goes for the importance of free, independent, and sustainable media for informing citizens, keeping the accountability of policymakers, and fostering public debate. In the context of the European Union, a plethora of studies addresses the impact of media on political participation. However, few focus on the EU's distinct participatory model and the media's role in it. This article aims to start a broad reflection, at a theoretical and empirical level, on the role of the European news media in the context of the participatory practices of the EU and to explore the interplay between the European policies and actions related to media, and their specific sectoral needs. Based on literature review, policy document analysis and survey inquiry, this contribution questions whether the EU approach to linking the strengthening of the European news media sector to the participatory democratic process in the EU is responding to sectoral needs. The article starts with theoretical considerations on the role of the news media sector in European participatory democracy. Then, the interconnection between the European news media sector and participatory democracy, as presented in EU actions and policies, is outlined. Lastly, based on the empirical study of companies engaged in innovative cross-border collaborations in the Stars4Media Programme, some of the needs of the European news media sector and their perception of the EU approach to support the European news media for strengthening EU democracy, are presented.

An improved dissipative coupling scheme for a system of Molecular Dynamics particles interacting with a Lattice Boltzmann fluid
Creators: name: Tretyakov, Nikita

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We consider the dissipative coupling between a stochastic Lattice Boltzmann (LB) fluid and a particle-based Molecular Dynamics (MD) system, as it was first introduced by Ahlrichs and Dünweg (J. Chem. Phys. 111 (1999) 8225). The fluid velocity at the position of a particle is determined by interpolation, such that a Stokes friction force gives rise to an exchange of momentum between the particle and the surrounding fluid nodes. For efficiency reasons, the LB time step is chosen as a multiple of the MD time step, such that the MD system is updated more frequently than the LB fluid. In this situation, there are different ways to implement the coupling: Either the fluid velocity at the surrounding nodes is only updated every LB time step, or it is updated every MD step. It is demonstrated that the latter choice, which enforces momentum conservation on a significantly shorter time scale, is clearly superior in terms of stability and accuracy, and nevertheless only marginally slower in terms of execution speed. The second variant is therefore the recommended implementation.

description: 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), a major product generated during oxidative stress, exhibits cytotoxic effects; however, the mechanisms of 4-HNE-induced endothelial cell injury are not well defined. To explore this issue, we examined how 4-HNE damages human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and found that 4-HNE induced biphasic activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK). Both pre- and post-treatment of HUVECs with SP600125, a specific JNK inhibitor, significantly suppressed the cytotoxic effects of 4-HNE. Inhibition of protein kinase Cd (PKCd), which was also phosphorylated by 4-HNE, reduced endothelial cell injury as well as late-phase JNK phosphorylation elicited by 4-HNE. Inversely, pre-treatment of HUVECs with SP600125 suppressed PKCd activation. Taken together, these results support the concept that 4-HNE induces vascular endothelial cell injury by the interaction between biphasic JNK activation and the PKCd pathway.
