description: We start with methodological analysis of the notion of scientific theory and its interrelation with reality. This analysis is based on the works of Helmholtz, Hertz, Boltzmann, and Schrödinger (and reviews of D' Agostino). Following Helmholtz, Hertz established the "Bild concept" for scientific theories. Here "Bild" ("picture") carries the meaning "model" (mathematical). The main aim of natural sciences is construction of the causal theoretical models (CTMs) of natural phenomena. Hertz claimed that CTM cannot be designed solely on the basis of observational data; it typically contains hidden quantities. Experimental data can be described by an observational model (OM), often on the price of acausality. CTM-OM interrelation can be tricky. Schrödinger used the Bild concept to create CTM for quantum mechanics (QM) and QM was treated as OM. We follow him and suggest a special CTM for QM, so-called prequantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT). The common interpretation of the violation of the Bell inequality is criticized from the perspective of the two level structuring of scientific theories. Such critical analysis of von Neumann and Bell no-go theorems for hidden variables was performed already by De Broglie (and Lochak) in 1970s. The Bild-approach is applied to the two level CTM-OM modeling of Brownian motion: the overdamped regime corresponds to OM. We briefly discuss ontic-epistemic structuring of scientific theories (Primas-Atmanspacher) and its relation to the Bild concept.

Многе од њих јасно осветљавају своје омеђено подручје истраживања, или детаљно обрађују специјалне аспекте предмета. Насупрот томе, ретки су радови који пружају информације о широј слици корелације, међуусловљености и компатибилности концепата безбедности са начинима професионалног припремања цивилних кадрова који се образују на највишем, универзитетском нивоу, поготово у размери која би обухватила све постјугословенске земље.

description: Настанак кибер простора представљао је својеврсну прекретницу у сфери војних активности али и поимања корпоративне, националне, регионалне и глобалне безбедности. Нови „простор“ пружио је велике могућности за спровођење специјалних пропагандних дејстава али и извођење напада посредством рачунарских мрежа на противничке информационе системе. За овај нови вид конфронтације у виртуелном простору се у англосаксонском говорном подручју користи појам кибер ратовање (енгл. cyber warfare). Напади у виртуелном простору, наоко неприметни, могу у реалном, физичком свету резултовати људским жртвама и материјалним разарањима. Због тога је кибер ратовање данас у жижи интересовања теоретичара и стручњака из области војних, информатичких, правних и безбедносних наука.

description: Self-injection, particularly of biologics, has become a mainstay of chronic disease management. Despite labeling requirement for healthcare provider (HCP) training, current injection initiation experiences have been shown to be suboptimal. This study characterizes gaps in training and support during initiation and identifies rationales to inform solutions. We enrolled HCPs (n = 18) performing routine biologic initiation and patients (n = 24) currently self-injecting biologics. Participants completed activities through an online, remote ethnography tool. We conducted two focus groups with biologic-naïve patients (n = 5). Data was analyzed using thematic frameworks, Q methodology, and quantitative assessments. Our results suggest considerable gaps exist. Analysis revealed five common themes that could explain these gaps: 1) minimal biologic-specific professional instruction is provided to HCPs; 2) nuanced injection use-steps are not universally understood; 3) no one stakeholder currently ‘owns’ training; 4) support offered by HCPs and manufacturers is perceived as biased; and 5) emotional burden is not accounted for. Our study suggests optimizing several elements to facilitate successful initiations, including structured sessions, improved HCP injection device knowledge, demo-device practice, and focus on both emotional and mechanical aspects. Aligning these factors has potential to increase patient confidence, reduce burden on HCPs, and improve probability of success on therapy.

description: Objective: Trust and health are both fundamental elements of a socially sustainable society. While much research has shown that trust is associated with better mental health outcomes in adults, studies of young people are relatively scarce, despite the fact that mental health problems are common in young ages. In particular, there are few longitudinal studies that cover different dimensions of trust. Building on a previous study on trust and psychosomatic complaints in adolescents, the aim was to examine the links between generalised and institutional trust in adolescence and depression and anxiety symptoms in young adulthood. Data was obtained from a Swedish cohort study with self-reported information on generalised and institutional trust at ages 15–16 and 17–18 and depression and anxiety symptoms at age 20–21 (n = 2,668). Covariates included sociodemographic characteristics and indicators of prior mental health status. Results: Binary logistic and linear regressions showed that higher levels of generalised trust at ages 15–16 and 17–18 were inversely associated with depression and anxiety symptoms at age 20–21. Institutional trust was however not linked with subsequent depression and anxiety symptoms when adjusting for generalised trust and covariates. The findings indicate that generalised trust is a social determinant for mental health in young people.

description: We studied the magneto-transport in SiO2 substrate-supported monolayer graphene and the quantum phase transitions that characterize the quantum Hall regime, using magnetic fields up to 28T and temperatures down to 4K. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the Hall and longitudinal resistivity reveals new non-universalities of the critical exponents of the plateau-insulator transition. These exponent depends on the type of disorder that governs the electrical transport, which knowledge is important for the design and fabrication of new graphene nano-devices.

description: We explore correlations harvesting by two static detectors locally interacting with vacuum massless scalar fields in the presence of an infinite perfectly reflecting boundary. We study the phenomena of mutual information harvesting and entanglement harvesting for two detector-boundary alignments, i.e., parallel-to-boundary and vertical-to-boundary alignments. Our results show that the presence of the boundary generally inhibits mutual information harvesting relative to that in flat spacetime without any boundaries. In contrast, the boundary may play a doubled-edged role in entanglement harvesting, i.e., inhibiting entanglement harvesting in the near zone of the boundary while assisting it in the far zone of the boundary. Moreover, there exists an optimal detector energy gap difference between two nonidentical detectors that makes such detectors advantageous in correlations harvesting as long as the interdetector separation is large enough. The value of the optimal detector energy gap difference depends on both the interdetector separation and the detector-to-boundary distance. A comparison of the correlations harvesting in two different alignments shows that although correlations harvesting share qualitatively the same properties, they also display quantitative differences in that the detectors in vertical-to-boundary alignment always harvest comparatively more mutual information than the parallel-to-boundary ones, while they harvest comparatively more entanglement only near the boundary.

description: The conductance, $G(E)$, through graphene nanoribbons (GNR) connected to a partially unzipped carbon nanotube (CNT) is studied in the presence of an external magnetic field applied parallel to the long axis of the tube by means of non-equilibrium Green's function technique. We consider (z)igzag and (a)rmchair CNTs that are partially unzipped to form aGNR/zCNT/aGNR or zGNR/aCNT/zGNR junctions. We find that the inclusion of a longitudinal magnetic field affects the electronic states only in the CNT region, leading to the suppression of the conductance at low energies. Unlike previous studies, for the zGNR/aCNT/zGNR junction in zero field, we find a sharp dip in the conductance as the energy approaches the Dirac point and we attribute this non-trivial behavior to the peculiar band dispersion of the constituent subsystems. We demonstrate that both types of junctions can be used as magnetic field sensors.

description: Убрзани развој технике и технологије у 20. веку, отворио је нову епоху човековог односа према природи и животној средини. Тај однос је дуг колико и историја човечанства и зависио је од достигнутог развоја и техничко-технолошких могућности искоришћења природе и њених ресурса.

У последњем веку створени су и усавршени поступци за искоришћавање природе чиме је нарушавана њена изворност, пре свега кроз индустријску производњу, стварање индустријских центара, изградњу мегаполиса, развој и употребу наоружања, истраживање и употребу средстава за модификовање климе итд. Управо захваљујући новим проналасцима и методама за искоришћење природних богатстава, човек је постајао и њен господар ушавши с природом у отворен сукоб. Истовремено, отворио је проблем сопственог опстанка и сукоба са самим собом. Живот на Земљи не одвија се у каквом просторно и временски изолованом медиууму. Нема бића које живи одвојено од свог станишта у којем се развија и задовољава своје потребе. Између организама и животне средине успостављени су специфични и сложени односи које само делимично можемо сагледати лаичким, ненаучним посматрањем.

description: Nowadays three dimension (3D) architectural visualisation has become a powerful tool in the conceptualisation, design and presentation of architectural products in the construction industry, providing realistic interaction and walkthrough on engineering products. Traditional ways of implementing 3D models involves the use of specialised 3D authoring tools along with skilled 3D designers with blueprints of the model and this is a slow and laborious process. The aim of this paper is to automate this process by simply analyzing the blueprint document and generating the 3D scene automatically. For this purpose we have devised a 3-Phase recognition approach to pseudo 3D building generation from 2D floor plan and developed a software accordingly. Our 3-phased 3D building system has been implemented using C, C++ and OpenCV library [24] for the Image Processing module; The Save Module generated an XML file for storing the processed floor plan objects attributes; while the Irrlitch [14] game engine was used to implement the Interactive 3D module. Though still at its infancy, our proposed system gave commendable results. We tested our system on 6 floor plans with complexities ranging from low to high and the results seems to be very promising with an average processing time of around 3s and a 3D generation in 4s. In addition the system provides an interactive walk-though and allows users to modify components.

description: The recent review for the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) by the expert committee, appointed by the European Union, stated that the replacement of PZT “… may be scientifically and technologically practical to a certain degree …”, although replacement “… is scientifically and technically still impractical in the majority of applications.” Thus, two decades of sustained research and development may be approaching fruition, at first limited to a minority of applications. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to assess the viability of lead-free piezoceramics over a broad range of application-relevant properties. These are identified and discussed in turn: 1. Cost, 2. Reproducibility, 3. Mechanical and Thermal Properties, 4. Electrical Conductivity, and 5. Lifetime. It is suggested that the worldwide efforts into the development of lead-free piezoceramics now require a broader perspective to bring the work to the next stage of development by supporting implementation into real devices. Guidelines about pertinent research requirements into a wide range of secondary properties, measurement techniques, and salient literature are provided.

description: The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) collaboration is developing low-pressure gas TPC detectors for measuring WIMP-nucleon interactions. Optical readout with CCD cameras allows for the detection for the daily modulation in the direction of the dark matter wind, while several charge readout channels allow for the measurement of additional recoil properties. In this article, we show that the addition of the charge readout analysis to the CCD allows us too obtain a statistics-limited 90% C.L. upper limit on the $e^-$ rejection factor of $5.6\times10^{-6}$ for recoils with energies between 40 and 200 keV$_{\mathrm{ee}}$. In addition, requiring coincidence between charge signals and light in the CCD reduces CCD-specific backgrounds by more than two orders of magnitude.

Иако супротстављена, та два блока давала су својим чланицама јасну представу ко је непријатељ, одакле прете опасности, како се доживљавају и како могу да се спрече. Данас то више није случај. У савременом „глобализованом свету“, поред постојања традиционалних претњи (ратови унутар и између држава) суочени смо и са асиметричним претњама које су последица употребе нових технологија и пораста утицаја нетрадиционалних претњи (организовани криминал, тероризам, еколошке и демографске претње и др.). У том смислу традиционални концепт безбедности постаје неефикасан инструмент у решавању безбедносних проблема, а редефинисање појма безбедности и успостављање међународног или колективног безбедносног система на новим основама постаје императив.

description: We explore the interactions of two strangeness -3 baryons in multiple spin channels with lattice QCD. This system provides an ideal laboratory for exploring the interactions of multi-baryon systems with minimal dependence on light quark masses. Model calculations of the two-$Ω^-$ system in two previous works have obtained conflicting results, which can be resolved by lattice QCD. The lattice calculations are performed using two different volumes with $L\sim2.5$ and 3.9 fm on anisotropic clover lattices at $m_π\sim 390$ MeV with a lattice spacing of $a_s \sim 0.123$ fm in the spatial direction and $a_t\sim{a}_s/3.5$ in the temporal direction. Using multiple interpolating operators from a non-displaced source, we present scattering information for two ground state $Ω^-$ baryons in both the S=0 and S=2 channels. For S=0, $k\cotδ$ is extracted at two volumes, which lead to an extrapolated scattering length of $a^{ΩΩ}_{S=0}=0.16 \pm 0.22 \ \text{fm}$, indicating a weakly repulsive interaction. Additionally, for S=2, two separate highly repulsive states are observed. We also present results on the interactions of the excited strangeness -3, spin-1/2 states with the ground spin-3/2 states for the spin-1 and spin-2 channels. Results for these interactions are consistent with attractive behavior.

description: Baobab is an iconic tree that is utilized as a source of food and income generation. While extant literature on baobab has focused on its morphological attributes and nutrient composition, there is a gap in literature in understanding the characteristics of processors and the factors that determine baobab processing. Using cross section data of 304 baobab processors in Kenya, we employ Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis to characterize baobab processors and identify determinants of baobab processing. Results of processed volumes show that baobab processors are grouped in three clusters of high, average and low categories. Clusters of processors are shaped by number of years in processing, access to training, quantity processed, processing cost, income from other sources, access to land, and profit levels. The study suggests the need to train processors on baobab processing to increase their efficiency and returns. Through training, processors will be able to make informed decisions on input use, packaging and presentation of their products to the customers. Also, investment in baobab conservation, harvesting more trees and reducing thematurity rate of the baobab trees will increase baobab inputs thus lowering processing cost

It is phrased with the aid of the energy and entropy as driving functionals for reversible and dissipative processes and suitable geometric structures. Based on the definition functional derivatives we propose a GENERIC framework for systems with bulk-interface interaction and apply it to discuss the GENERIC structure of models for delamination processes.

With this purpose in mind we first develop a method for generating exact interior solutions to the static and axisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell-hydrodynamic equations with anisotropic perfect fluid and with pure poloidal magnetic field. Then using an explicit exact solution we present a simple magnetar model and calculate some physically interesting quantities as the surface elipticity and the total energy of the magnetized star.

description: We present the results of a search for companions around the isolated galaxies from the 2MIG catalog. Among 3227 2MIG galaxies we detected 125 objects with a total of 214 neighbors having radial velocity differences of Delta V < 500 km/s and projected separations of R_p < 500 kpc relative to the 2MIG galaxies. The median luminosity of the companions is 1/25 of the luminosity of catalog galaxies, which has little effect on the dynamic isolation of the latter. The median ratio of the orbital mass to the K-luminosity determined from 60 companions of E and S0 2MIG galaxies, 63 M_sun/L_sun, is signficantly greater than that found from the spiral galaxy companions (17 M_sun/L_sun). We note that a fraction of 2MIG galaxies with companions may be a part of low-contrast diffuse structures: clouds and filaments.

description: Training large AI models typically requires large-scale datasets in the machine learning process, making training and parameter-tuning process both time-consuming and costly. Some researchers address this problem by carefully synthesizing a very small number of highly representative and informative samples from real-world datasets. This approach, known as Dataset Distillation (DD), proposes a perspective for data-efficient learning. Despite recent progress in this field, the performance of existing methods still cannot meet expectations, and distilled datasets cannot effectively replace original datasets. In this paper, unlike previous methods that focus solely on improving the effectiveness of student distillation, we recognize and leverage the important mutual influence between expert and student models. We observed that the smoothness of expert trajectories has a significant impact on subsequent student parameter alignment. Based on this, we propose an effective DD framework named AST, standing for Alignment with Smooth and high-quality expert Trajectories. We devise the integration of clipping loss and gradient penalty to regulate the rate of parameter changes in expert trajectory generation. To further refine the student parameter alignment with expert trajectory, we put forward representative initialization for the synthetic dataset and balanced inner-loop loss in response to the sensitivity exhibited towards randomly initialized variables during distillation. We also propose two enhancement strategies, namely intermediate matching loss and weight perturbation, to mitigate the potential occurrence of cumulative errors. We conduct extensive experiments on datasets of different scales, sizes, and resolutions. The results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms prior methods.

description: The origin of cosmic dust is a fundamental issue in planetary science. This paper revisits the origin of dust in galaxies, in particular, in the Milky Way, by using a chemical evolution model of a galaxy composed of stars, interstellar medium, metals (elements heavier than helium), and dust. We start from a review of time-evolutionary equations of the four components, and then, we present simple recipes for the stellar remnant mass and yields of metal and dust based on models of stellar nucleosynthesis and dust formation. After calibrating some model parameters with the data from the solar neighborhood, we have confirmed a shortage of the stellar dust production rate relative to the dust destruction rate by supernovae if the destruction efficiency suggested by theoretical works is correct. If the dust mass growth by material accretion in molecular clouds is active, the observed dust amount in the solar neighborhood is reproduced. We present a clear analytic explanation of the mechanism for determining dust content in galaxies after the activation of accretion growth: a balance between accretion growth and supernova destruction. Thus, the dust content is independent of the uncertainty of the stellar dust yield after the growth activation. The timing of the activation is determined by a critical metal mass fraction which depends on the growth and destruction efficiencies. The solar system formation seems to have occurred well after the activation and plenty of dust would have existed in the proto-solar nebula.

description: Људско достојанство је појам који се у филозофским и правним расправама доводи у везу с веома великим бројем тема. Распон питања у којима се он појављује протеже се од оправданости примене генетичких технологија преко готово свих основних права и слобода па до заштите природе и животиња. У расправама о овим разноврсним проблемима појам људског достојанства се често различито тумачи. Те интерпретације се у неким случајевима и знатно међусобно удаљавају. Разлике у тумачењу су приметне не само у научном дискурсу него чак у политичкој реторици у којој се овај појам такође обилато користи. Није ретко да појам људског достојанства употребљавају чак опоненти у дебати о истом предмету образлажући уз помоћ њега своја супротстављена становишта, тако да први утисак о овом појму може бити противречан: да је у питању појам од великог значаја с обзиром на учесталост употребе и на важност која му се придаје, али с друге стране и да је у питању празна реторичка флоскула.

description: The two-stage preference design (TSPD) enables the inference for treatment efficacy while allowing for incorporation of patient preference to treatment. It can provide unbiased estimates for selection and preference effects, where a selection effect occurs when patients who prefer one treatment respond differently than those who prefer another, and a preference effect is the difference in response caused by an interaction between the patient's preference and the actual treatment they receive. One potential barrier to adopting TSPD in practice, however, is the relatively large sample size required to estimate selection and preference effects with sufficient power. To address this concern, we propose a group sequential two-stage preference design (GS-TSPD), which combines TSPD with sequential monitoring for early stopping. In the GS-TSPD, pre-planned sequential monitoring allows investigators to conduct repeated hypothesis tests on accumulated data prior to full enrollment to assess study eligibility for early trial termination without inflating type I error rates. Thus, the procedure allows investigators to terminate the study when there is sufficient evidence of treatment, selection, or preference effects during an interim analysis, thereby reducing the design resource in expectation. To formalize such a procedure, we verify the independent increments assumption for testing the selection and preference effects and apply group sequential stopping boundaries from the approximate sequential density functions. Simulations are then conducted to investigate the operating characteristics of our proposed GS-TSPD compared to the traditional TSPD. We demonstrate the applicability of the design using a study of Hepatitis C treatment modality.

description: This study examines the relationship between technology transfer skills and work performance of extension agents among cocoa farmers in Malaysia. The study used stratified sampling technique to select 668 cocoa farmers who are exposed to extension programmes facilitated by the extension agents of Malaysian Cocoa Board in the three regions of Malaysia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses. Result shows that cocoa farmers rated level of work performance, technical, technology delivery, and technology evaluation skills as high. Significant and positive correlation (p<0.01) existed between each variables and work performance. Regression analysis results showed that technology transfer skills were significant predictors to enhance work performance. The R2 value of 0.511 indicates that the three skills give 51.1% explanation of the variance in extension agents’ work performance. The result also suggested that technical skill (β=0.346) was the most important factor that influence work performance followed by technology delivery skill and technology evaluation skill. Hence, technology transfer skills should be taken into consideration in enhancing work performance, especially among farmers and the extension agents who work with them for a continuous performance improvement in their work. The skills that have been identified in this study can be integrated into both the pre-service and in-service training and development of extension agents in their line of work to improve their skills in sharing new technology

description: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually utilized to perform decision fusion of event detection. Current decision fusion schemes are based on binary valued decision and do not consider bursty contextcapture. However, bursty context and multi-valued data are important characteristics of WSNs. One on hand, the local decisions from sensors usually have bursty and contextual characteristics. Fusion center must capture the bursty context information from the sensors. On the other hand, in practice, many applications need to process multi-valued data, such as temperature and reflection level used for lightening prediction. To address these challenges, the Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) and multi-valued logic are introduced into WSNs to perform context-capture multi-valued decision fusion. The overall decision fusion is decomposed into two parts. The first part is the context-capture model for WSNs using superposition MMPP. Through this procedure, the fusion center has a higher probability to get useful local decisions from sensors. The second one is focused on multi-valued decision fusion. Fault detection can also be performed based on MVL. Once the fusion center detects the faulty nodes, all their local decisions are removed from the computation of the likelihood ratios. Finally, we evaluate the capability of context-capture and fault tolerant. The result supports the usefulness of our scheme.

description: In this paper we describe the state-of-the art status of multi-frequency detection techniques for compact sources in microwave astronomy. From the simplest cases where the spectral behaviour is well-known (i.e. thermal SZ clusters) to the more complex cases where there is little a priori information (i.e. polarized radio sources) we will review the main advances and the most recent results in the detection problem.

description: The relation between the baryon number in QCD at nonzero chemical potential and the spectral density of the baryon number Dirac operator, $γ_0(D+m)$, is examined. We show that extreme oscillations of the spectral density, caused by the QCD sign problem, are essential for the formation of the average baryon number when $μ>m_π/2$. We compute the oscillating region of the spectral density using chiral perturbation theory. The extreme oscillations have a microscopic period and are resolved using random matrix theory.
