description: The question whether the increased exposure to and engagement with digital media, is causally related to dynamics of political polarization in recent years is hotly debated among scholars of various disciplines. This project aims to systematically review the available evidence pertaining to different causal and non-causal links between the rise of social media platforms and crisis symptoms of liberal democracies. These links are being studies with a diverse set of methods including observational studies, laboratory experiments, quasi-experiments, field experiments and large-scale online experiments. This protocol serves to register our research question, search strategy, methods of quality assessment and evidence synthesis prior to data collection. As we expect a heterogeneous measurement- and methodology landscape, which makes a standardized classification a priori impossible, the analysis plan for the selected papers is not registered here, instead such a mapping is part of the expected results of this project.

description: We construct a class of codimension-2 solutions in supergravity that realize T-folds with arbitrary $O(2,2,\mathbb{Z})$ monodromy and we develop a geometric point of view in which the monodromy is identified with a product of Dehn twists of an auxiliary surface $Σ$ fibered on a base $\mathcal{B}$. These defects, that we call T-fects, are identified by the monodromy of the mapping torus obtained by fibering $Σ$ over the boundary of a small disk encircling a degeneration. We determine all possible local geometries by solving the corresponding Cauchy-Riemann equations, that imply the equations of motion for a semi-flat metric ansatz. We discuss the relation with the F-theoretic approach and we consider a generalization to the T-duality group of the heterotic theory with a Wilson line.

description: The rotation rates in the deep interior and at the surface of 22 main-sequence stars with masses between $1.0$ and $1.6\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$ are constrained by combining asteroseismological analysis with spectroscopic measurements. The asteroseismic data of each star are taken by the {\it Kepler} or CoRoT space mission. It is found that the difference between the surface rotation rate and the average rotation rate (excluding the convective core) of most of stars is small enough to suggest that an efficient process of angular momentum transport operates during and/or before the main-sequence stage of stars. If each of the surface convective zone and the underlying radiative zone, for individual stars, is assumed to rotate uniformly, the difference in the rotation rate between the two zones turns out to be no more than a factor of two in most of the stars independently of their ages.

description: Στόχος του άρθρου είναι η διερεύνηση της παιδικής λογοτεχνίας και των επιμέρους στοιχείων που συναπαρτίζουν ένα πεδίο λογοτεχνικής δημιουργίας, το οποίο διεκδικεί ολοένα και πιο έντονα την αυτονομία του, τόσο στο χώρο της θεωρίας της λογοτεχνίας, όσο και στους καταλόγους των εκδοτικών οίκων. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ότι η προσέγγιση ενός γνωστικού αντικειμένου απαιτεί τον προσδιορισμό των βασι­κών εννοιών που το συνθέτουν, το άρθρο επιχειρεί να διατρέξει τις βασικές θεωρητικές συζητήσεις για τον όρο «παιδική» -και ως εκ τούτου γύρω για τις νοηματοδο­ τήσεις του όρου «παιδί»-, καθώς και γύρω από τον όρο «λογοτεχνία». Η τελευταία ενίοτε δεξιώνεται την παιδική λογοτεχνία ως συμπληρωματικό ή και αναπόσπαστο στοιχείο της και ενίοτε την απορρίπτει λόγω οντολογικών διαφορών, που έχουν δι­αμορφωθεί στο πέρασμα των χρόνων μέσω της συγκρότησης ενός λογοτεχνικού κανόνα. Στα πλαίσια αυτά, θα παρατεθούν -εντός των ιστορικών τους συμφραζομέ­ νων- οι απόψεις για την παιδική λογοτεχνία και το παιδί ως κοινωνική κατασκευή, τα μορφικά και υφολογικά χαρακτηριστικά της παιδικής λογοτεχνίας, οι αξιολογικές κρίσεις για αυτήν, όπως αυτές διαμορφώνονται μέσα από την ενήλικη ματιά, αλλά και μέσα από τη ματιά του παιδιού-αναγνώστη. Τέλος, θα παρουσιαστεί η σχέση εξουσίας ενήλικου-παιδιού, η οποία σηματοδοτείται από την υβριδική διάσταση της παιδικής λογοτεχνίας, που ενέχει όχι μόνο αισθητικές, αλλά και παιδαγωγικές και διδακτικές σκοπιμότητες.

Aripiprazole, a novel atypical antipsychotic drug with a unique and robust pharmacology

description: Atypical antipsychotic drugs have revolutionized the treatment of schizophrenia and related disorders. The current clinically approved atypical antipsychotic drugs are characterized by having relatively low affinities for D2-dopamine receptors and relatively high affinities for 5-HT2A serotonin receptors (5-HT, 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin)). Aripiprazole (OPC-14597) is a novel atypical antipsychotic drug that is reported to be a high-affinity D2-dopamine receptor partial agonist. We now provide a comprehensive pharmacological profile of aripiprazole at a large number of cloned G protein-coupled receptors, transporters, and ion channels. These data reveal a number of interesting and potentially important molecular targets for which aripiprazole has affinity. Aripiprazole has highest affinity for h5-HT2B-, hD2L-, and hD3-dopamine receptors, but also has significant affinity (5–30 nM) for several other 5-HT receptors (5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, 5-HT7), as well as α1A-adrenergic and hH1-histamine receptors. Aripiprazole has less affinity (30–200 nM) for other G protein-coupled receptors, including the 5-HT1D, 5-HT2C, α1B-, α2A-, α2B-, α2C-, β1-, and β2-adrenergic, and H3-histamine receptors. Functionally, aripiprazole is an inverse agonist at 5-HT2B receptors and displays partial agonist actions at 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, D3, and D4 receptors. Interestingly, we also discovered that the functional actions of aripiprazole at cloned human D2-dopamine receptors are cell-type selective, and that a range of actions (eg agonism, partial agonism, antagonism) at cloned D2-dopamine receptors are possible depending upon the cell type and function examined. This mixture of functional actions at D2-dopamine receptors is consistent with the hypothesis proposed by Lawler et al (1999) that aripiprazole has ‘functionally selective’ actions. Taken together, our results support the hypothesis that the unique actions of aripiprazole in humans are likely a combination of ‘functionally selective’ activation of D2 (and possibly D3)-dopamine receptors, coupled with important interactions with selected other biogenic amine receptors—particularly 5-HT receptor subtypes (5-HT1A, 5-HT2A).

description: The quantification of the compensation payment for expropriation, which is mainly an economic assessment issue, has been not sufficiently studied above all in relation with the complex relationships that it has with the judicial-normative aspects which regulates the expropriation for public purposes. The case of partial expropriation, the economic-estimative meaning of the expression “agricultural value” and the quantification criteria for the compensation payments in the case of building areas represent for sure some of the most relevant issues concerning the quantification of the compensation payment. The aim of this paper is to go in deeper detail on those issues which offer very interesting cues of thoughts. In these sentences the judges propose interpretations of the regulations which are important for the definition of the appraisal question and in the determination of the compensation payment.

description: As political polarization in the United States continues to rise1,2,3, the question of whether polarized individuals can fruitfully cooperate becomes pressing. Although diverse perspectives typically lead to superior team performance on complex tasks4,5, strong political perspectives have been associated with conflict, misinformation and a reluctance to engage with people and ideas beyond one’s echo chamber6,7,8. Here, we explore the effect of ideological composition on team performance by analysing millions of edits to Wikipedia’s political, social issues and science articles. We measure editors’ online ideological preferences by how much they contribute to conservative versus liberal articles. Editor surveys suggest that online contributions associate with offline political party affiliation and ideological self-identity. Our analysis reveals that polarized teams consisting of a balanced set of ideologically diverse editors produce articles of a higher quality than homogeneous teams. The effect is most clearly seen in Wikipedia’s political articles, but also in social issues and even science articles. Analysis of article ‘talk pages’ reveals that ideologically polarized teams engage in longer, more constructive, competitive and substantively focused but linguistically diverse debates than teams of ideological moderates. More intense use of Wikipedia policies by ideologically diverse teams suggests institutional design principles to help unleash the power of polarization.

description: We consider broadcasting a block of packets to multiple wireless receivers under random packet erasures using instantly decodable network coding (IDNC). The sender first broadcasts each packet uncoded once, then generates coded packets according to receivers' feedback about their missing packets. We focus on strict IDNC (S-IDNC), where each coded packet includes at most one missing packet of every receiver. But we will also compare it with general IDNC (G-IDNC), where this condition is relaxed. We characterize two fundamental performance limits of S-IDNC: 1) the number of transmissions to complete the broadcast, and 2) the average delay for a receiver to decode a packet. We derive a closed-form expression for the expected minimum number of transmissions in terms of the number of packets and receivers and the erasure probability. We prove that it is NP-hard to minimize the decoding delay of S-IDNC. We also derive achievable upper bounds on the above two performance limits. We show that G-IDNC can outperform S-IDNC %in terms of the number of transmissions without packet erasures, but not necessarily with packet erasures. Next, we design optimal and heuristic S-IDNC transmission schemes and coding algorithms with full/intermittent receiver feedback. We present simulation results to corroborate the developed theory and compare with existing schemes.

description: Low temperature carrier transport properties in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor systems can be theoretically well-understood within a mean-field type RPA-Boltzmann theory as being limited by scattering from screened Coulomb disorder arising from random quenched charged impurities in the environment. In the current work, we derive a number of simple analytical formula, supported by realistic numerical calculations, for the relevant density, mobility, and temperature range where 2D transport should manifest strong intrinsic (i.e., arising purely from electronic effects and not from phonon scattering) metallic temperature dependence in different semiconductor materials arising entirely from the 2D screening properties, thus providing an explanation for why the strong temperature dependence of the 2D resistivity can only be observed in high-quality and low-disorder (i.e., high-mobility) 2D samples and also why some high-quality 2D materials (i.e., n-GaAs) manifest much weaker metallicity than other materials. We also discuss effects of interaction and disorder on the 2D screening properties in this context as well as compare 2D and 3D screening functions to comment why such a strong intrinsic temperature dependence arising from screening cannot occur in 3D metallic carrier transport. Experimentally verifiable predictions are made about the quantitative magnitude of the maximum possible low-temperature metallicity in 2D systems and the scaling behavior of the temperature scale controlling the quantum to classical crossover where the system reverses the sign of the temperature derivative of the 2D resistivity at high temperatures.

description: Το παραμύθι παραμένει διαχρονικά ένα από τα πιο δημοφιλή λογοτεχνικά είδη για τα παιδιά προσχολικής και πρωτοσχολικής ηλικίας. Παράλληλα, η σύγχρονη παιδαγωγική αναγνωρίζει τα πολλαπλά οφέλη που μπορεί να προσφέρει στα παιδιά τόσο σε επίπεδο γλωσσικών δεξιοτήτων όσο και στην ανάπτυξη της δημιουργικής σκέψης, την καλλιέργεια της φαντασίας, της αισθητικής απόλαυσης και της συναισθηματικής τους νοημοσύνης. Κατά καιρούς, έχουν διατυπωθεί διάφορες διδακτικές προτάσεις που εστιάζουν σε κάποιες από τις σημαντικότερες πτυχές του. Η παρούσα μελέτη αποσκοπεί στο να προτείνει μια σύγχρονη και ολοκληρωμένη διδακτική προσέγγιση του στο πλαίσιο της πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης. Ειδικότερα, το σχέδιο του προγράμματος που παρουσιάζουμε βασίζεται στους ακόλουθους άξονες μαθητείας της τέχνης του παραμυθιού: α) την ακρόαση-παρακολούθηση, β) την αφηγηματι­κή-κριτική ανάγνωση, γ) την επαναφήγηση, δ) τους διακειμενικούς και διαμεσικούς μετασχηματισμούς και ε) την πρωτογενή δημιουργία. Η διαδοχική και συνθετική ανά­πτυξη των παραπάνω σταδίων δύναται να καλύψει το μεγαλύτερο μέρος του πολυδιάστατου φάσματος του παραμυθιακού λόγου, επιτυγχάνοντας με συνεργατικό, βιωματικό και παιγνιώδη τρόπο μια ολοκληρωμένη μύηση των παιδιών στα μυστικά και τη διαχρονική ομορφιά της έκφρασης του πανάρχαιου αφηγηματικού είδους.

description: We combine a deep 0.5~deg$^2$, 1.4~GHz deep radio survey in the Lockman Hole with infrared and optical data in the same field, including the SERVS and UKIDSS near-infrared surveys, to make the largest study to date of the host galaxies of radio sources with typical radio flux densities $\sim 50 \;μ$Jy. 87% (1274/1467) of radio sources have identifications in SERVS to $AB\approx 23.1$ at 3.6 or 4.5$μ$m, and 9% are blended with bright objects (mostly stars), leaving only 4% (59 objects) which are too faint to confidently identify in the near-infrared. We are able to estimate photometric redshifts for 68% of the radio sources. We use mid-infrared diagnostics to show that the source population consists of a mixture of star forming galaxies, rapidly accreting (cold mode) AGN and low accretion rate, hot mode AGN, with neither AGN nor starforming galaxies clearly dominating. We see the breakdown in the $K-z$ relation in faint radio source samples, and show that it is due to radio source populations becoming dominated by sources with radio luminosities $\sim 10^{23}\;{\rm WHz^{-1}}$. At these luminosities, both the star forming galaxies and the cold mode AGN have hosts with stellar luminosities about a factor of two lower than those of hot mode AGN, which continue to reside in only the most massive hosts. We show that out to at least $z\sim 2$, galaxies with stellar masses $>10^{11.5}\, M_{\odot}$ have a radio-loud fraction up to $\sim 30$%. This is consistent with there being a sufficient number of radio sources that radio-mode feedback could play a role in galaxy evolution.

description: Planets form in the discs of gas and dust that surround young stars. It is not known whether gas giant planets on wide orbits form the same way as Jupiter or by fragmentation of gravitationally unstable discs. Here we show that a giant planet, which has formed in the outer regions of a protostellar disc, initially migrates fast towards the central star (migration timescale ~10,000 yr) while accreting gas from the disc. However, in contrast with previous studies, we find that the planet eventually opens up a gap in the disc and the migration is essentially halted. At the same time, accretion-powered radiative feedback from the planet, significantly limits its mass growth, keeping it within the planetary mass regime (i.e. below the deuterium burning limit) at least for the initial stages of disc evolution. Giant planets may therefore be able to survive on wide orbits despite their initial fast inward migration, shaping the environment in which terrestrial planets that may harbour life form.

description: Στα φιλολογικά σαλόνια του 17ου αιώνα, στα οποία σύχναζαν κατά κύριο λόγο γυναίκες, αναπτύσσεται μια νέα μόδα, η συγγραφή παραμυθιών. Η έντονη συγγρα­ φική δράση δημιουργεί αυτό το νέο λογοτεχνικό είδος, το οποίο μεταπλάθει τόσο στοιχεία της προφορικής παράδοσης όσο και στοιχεία της γαλλικής κουλτούρας, νο­μιμοποιώντας την ψυχαγωγική του διάσταση και δίνοντας τη δυνατότητα στις Γαλλίδες συγγραφείς να βγουν από την αφάνεια και από τα στενά όρια της επιστολο­ γραφίας και του πορτρέτου. Το 1690, με το «Νησί της Ευτυχίας» της Madame d'Aul­noy, ενεργοποιείται ο μηχανισμός παραγωγής παραμυθικών ιστοριών και λειτουργεί ασταμάτητα μέχρι τον επόμενο αιώνα και το ξέσπασμα τα Γαλλικής Επανάστασης, εξαιρουμένης μιας μικρής άγονης περιόδου (1715-1730). Αρχικά, στην πρώτη περίο­δο εμφάνισης του είδους (1690-1715) το παραμύθι δομείται γύρω από την παρουσία των νεράιδων και γι' αυτό ονομάζεται «conte de fees» από την D'Aulnoy, που επινοεί τον όρο. Ως συνέχεια αυτής της παράδοσης, η Villeneuνe δημοσιεύει το 1740 το παραμύθι «Η Πεντάμορφη και το Τέρας» , που διακρίνεται όχι μόνο για την πληθώρα των αναλυτικών περιγραφών του, την πολυπλοκότητα της δομής και την πολυσέλιδη έκτασή του αλλά και για τη σαφήνεια των σεξουαλικών αναφορών του Τέρατος προς την Πεντάμορφη. Φέρει, ακόμη, τα στοιχεία της εκζήτησης και της τέχνης του λόγου των σαλονιών και του ρεύματος της preciosite, που χαρακτήριζαν την πρώτη περίοδο και θα μπορούσε κάλλιστα να προσδιοριστεί ως μυθιστόρημα παρά ως παραμύθι με νεράιδες. Στα τέλη του 18ου αιώνα, το παραμύθι προσλαμβάνει μια πιο άμεση ηθικο­διδακτική διάσταση, όπως διαφαίνεται στην περίπτωση της ιστορίας «Η Πεντάμορφη και το Τέρας» της Beaumont (1756), η οποία είναι και πιο σύντομη και πιο απλή σε σχέση με εκείνη της Villeneuνe, με λιγότερες περιγραφές και χωρίς υπαινιγμούς ερωτικού χαρακτήρα. Οι δύο αυτές εκδοχές, ωστόσο, παρά τις διαφορές τους, κα­ ταδεικνύουν την επινοητικότητα και τον πλούτο της φαντασίας των conteuses, που μπόρεσαν να υπερβούν τον χώρο των φιλολογικών σαλονιών και να δημοσιεύσουν τα έργα τους που γνώρισαν μεγάλη επιτυχία.

description: Παρουσιάζεται, εδώ, η ιστορία της σύνταξης του Καταλόγου των ελληνικών πα­ραμυθιών, ως προς το μέρος του που αναφέρεται στην κατηγορία του μαγικού παραμυθιού και περιγράφει το έργο Ελλήνων και ξένων λαογράφων που διαμόρφωσαν το θεωρητικό και μεθοδολογικό πλαίσιο που οδήγησε στη συγγραφή του. Αφετηρία αυτών των αναζητήσεων αποτέλεσε η διαπίστωση για την παγκοσμιότητα του λαϊκού παραμυθιού, που υπάρχει, προφορικά μεταδιδόμενο, σε περισσότερους από έναν τόπους και εποχές, ποτέ ακριβώς το ίδιο αλλά σε διαφορετικές παραλλαγές. Θεωρήθηκε, λοιπόν, σημαντικό να καταγραφεί και να μελετηθεί η γεωγραφική εξάπλωση και η χρονική ύπαρξη κάθε αφήγησης και, στη συνέχεια, να δημι­ουργηθεί ένα ενιαίο σύστημα ένταξης και ερμηνείας όλων των παραμυθιών. Οι προσπάθειες ξεκίνησαν το 1910 και κατέληξαν στο διάσημο πια έργο The Types of the Folktales, που εμπλουτισμένο και αναθεωρημένο επανεκδόθηκε το 2004 και κατόπιν το 2011. Η διεθνής αυτή ταξινόμηση των Aarne - Thompson και Uther (ATU), όπως λέγεται από τα ονόματα των βασικών συντακτών της, αποτελεί, μέχρι σήμερα, τη μόνη κοινή γλώσσα σε διεθνές επίπεδο μεταξύ των ειδικών του παραμυθιού. Αυτό το σύστημα κατάταξης απετέλεσε τη βάση για να συνταχθούν σε κάθε χώρα και οι εθνικοί κατάλογοι των παραμυθιών. Στην Ελλάδα, έπειτα από παρότρυνση του Νικολάου Πολίτη, το έργο ανέλαβε ο Γεώργιος Μέγας, ο οποίος συνέβαλε τα μέγιστα στην αντιπροσώπευση του ελληνικού παραμυθιού στη δεύτερη αναθεώρηση του διεθνούς Καταλόγου, το 1961, και στην εισαγωγή οικοτύπων από το ελληνικό παραμύθι που εμπλούτισαν τα περιεχόμενα του διεθνούς Καταλόγου. Ο ίδιος εισήγαγε νέους οικοτύπους, προερχόμενος από το ελληνικό παραμύθι, εμπλουτίζοντας τη διεθνή κατάταξη. Στην εργασία γίνεται λόγος, επίσης, για την επεξεργασία του υλικού και την έκδοση του νέου Καταλόγου, όπου παρακολου­ θείται η διεθνής κυκλοφορία και η ιστορική εξέλιξη του παραμυθιού.

Από την έμπνευση του Τζάνι Ροντάρι στο σκηνικό βίωμα των μαθητών: Μια σύγχρονη χριστουγεννιάτικη γιορτή
Creators: name: Παπακώστα, Αλεξία

description: Η συγκεκριμένη πρόταση αναπτύσσεται μέσα στα πλαίσια ανανέωσης και εκ­ συγχρονισμού των σχολικών γιορτών καθώς και της δημιουργικής σύζευξης θεάτρου και λογοτεχνίας στο σχολικό περιβάλλον. Με αφετηρία το κείμενο του Τζ. Ροντάρι «Συναγερμός στη φάτνη» και μέσα από τη διαδικασία της δραματοποίησης, οι μαθη­τές στήνουν μια πρωτότυπη «Χριστουγεννιάτικη Γιορτή», προσαρμοσμένη στο δικό τους «εδώ και τώρα», στις ανάγκες, τις επιθυμίες, τις μνήμες, τις προσδοκίες, τα βιώματα και τα ενδιαφέροντά τους, εμπλέκοντας τα πανανθρώπινα μηνύματα και τις διαχρονικές αξίες του κειμένου με την καθημερινότητά τους. Συγκεκριμένα, με τη βοήθεια θεατρικών τεχνικών, οι μαθητές «ξεκλειδώνουν» το κείμενο, διερευνούν τις έννοιες, συνδέουν τις προσωπικές τους εμπειρίες με τα θέματά του και τοποθετούν τη δράση του σε συμφραζόμενα. Με την πλούσια φαντασία, την έντονη εκφραστικότητα και τον αυθορμητισμό τους, δημιουργούν εικόνες απ' όπου αναδύονται πρόσωπα και καταστάσεις. Στη συνέχεια, προσεγγίζουν τους χαρακτήρες, αυτοσχεδιάζοντας, και, όταν τα πρόσωπα κινηθούν στον χώρο, φορτιστούν μέσα στις σχέσεις και τις καταστάσεις, προκύπτουν διάλογοι, αυτοσχέδιοι, αρχικά, δομημένοι, αργότερα. Οι διάλογοι σημειώνονται, οριοθετούνται στον χώρο και στον χρόνο και ζωντανεύουν στην αυτοσχέδια σκηνή της τάξης. Επινοούνται όταν παίζονται ή παίζονται για να υπάρξουν. Οι μαθητές σταδιακά μετατρέπονται σε αναγνώστες, δρώντες και θεατές, και πειραματίζονται διαδοχικά με τη γραφή και την εμψύχωση, στοχεύοντας στη δημι­ουργία ενός τελικού δραματικού κειμένου. Με συγκεκριμένες επιλογές στη χρήση και τον συνδυασμό των θεατρικών κωδίκων εμπλουτίζουν το παραστασιακό εγχείρημα και προβαίνουν στις συνθέσεις σκηνικών μηνυμάτων. Σε όλη τη διάρκεια της διαδι­κασίας, δίνονται ευκαιρίες αναστοχασμού, ανατροφοδότησης και επαναξιολόγησης. Ο εμψυχωτής εκπαιδευτικός, συνοδοιπόρος και συμμέτοχος στο δημιουργικό ταξίδι, με ευελιξία συντονίζει και ρυθμίζει διακριτικά την ανάπτυξη των δράσεων, επεμβαίνει έμμεσα και αποκαθιστά ισορροπίες, προωθεί τον πειραματισμό, τη διερεύνηση, το σχεδιασμό και την οργάνωση. Το αποτέλεσμα της διαδικασίας μπορεί να αξιοποιηθεί ενδοσχολικά και εξωσχολικά, αφήνοντας έντονο πολιτιστικό αποτύπωμα στη σχολική κουλτούρα και, γενικότερα, στην τοπική κοινωνία.

Particulate matter air pollution and cardiovascular disease: An update to the scientific statement from the American Heart Association
Creators: name: Smith, Sidney C., Jr.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the interim, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of this association and further elucidated the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved. The main objective of this updated American Heart Association scientific statement is to provide a comprehensive review of the new evidence linking PM exposure with cardiovascular disease, with a specific focus on highlighting the clinical implications for researchers and healthcare providers. The writing group also sought to provide expert consensus opinions on many aspects of the current state of science and updated suggestions for areas of future research. On the basis of the findings of this review, several new conclusions were reached, including the following: Exposure to PM less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) over a few hours to weeks can trigger cardiovascular disease–related mortality and nonfatal events; longer-term exposure (eg, a few years) increases the risk for cardiovascular mortality to an even greater extent than exposures over a few days and reduces life expectancy within more highly exposed segments of the population by several months to a few years; reductions in PM levels are associated with decreases in cardiovascular mortality within a time frame as short as a few years; and many credible pathological mechanisms have been elucidated that lend biological plausibility to these findings. It is the opinion of the writing group that the overall evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between PM2.5 exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This body of evidence has grown and been strengthened substantially since the first American Heart Association scientific statement was published. Finally, PM2.5 exposure is deemed a modifiable factor that contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία εξετάζεται η σχέση που αναπτύσσεται ανάμεσα στο αναγνωστικό κοινό ανηλίκων και τη λογοτεχνία του φανταστικού. Η φανταστική λο­γοτεχνία, αλλά και η λογοτεχνία, γενικότερα, έχουν κοινά χαρακτηριστικά με τη δι­αδικασία του "παίζειν". Ένα έργο φανταστικής λογοτεχνίας μπορεί να λειτουργήσει ως μέσο διασκέδασης, μπορεί, επίσης, να εφοδιάσει τον αναγνώστη με οξυδέρκεια για ποικίλα θέματα και συμπεριφορές που συναντώνται και στον κόσμο της πραγματικότητας. Η σημασία και η αναγκαιότητα της λογοτεχνίας του φανταστικού για το ανήλικο αναγνωστικό κοινό έχουν μελετηθεί πολύπλευρα από συγγραφείς, κριτικούς και μελετητές της λογοτεχνίας. Οι διαφορές στην κατηγοριοποίηση των κειμένων φανταστικής λογοτεχνίας από συγγραφείς και μελετητές είναι αντίστοιχη με τη δυσκολία διατύπωσης ενός και μόνον ορισμού για το λογοτεχνικό είδος του φανταστικού.

On the first-passage time of an integrated Gauss-Markov process

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

subject: 60J60, 60H05, 60H10

description: It is considered the integrated process $X(t)= x + \int _0^t Y(s) ds ,$ where $Y(t)$ is a Gauss-Markov process starting from $y.$ The first-passage time (FPT) of $X$ through a constant boundary and the first-exit time of $X$ from an interval $(a,b)$ are investigated, generalizing some results on FPT of integrated Brownian motion. An essential role is played by a useful representation of $X,$ in terms of Brownian motion which allows to reduces the FPT of $X$ to that of a time-changed Brownian motion. Some explicit examples are reported; when theoretical calculation is not available, the quantities of interest are estimated by numerical computation.

description: The PI control of first-order linear passive systems through a delayed communication channel is revisited in light of the relative stability concept called sigma-stability. Treating the delayed communication channel as a transport PDE, the passivity of the overall control-loop is guaranteed, resulting in a closed-loop system of neutral nature. Spectral methods are then applied to the system to obtain a complete stability map. In particular, we perform the D-subdivision method to declare the exact sigma-stability regions in the space of PI parameters. This framework is then utilized to analytically determine the maximum achievable exponential decay rate of the system while achieving the PI tuning as an explicit function of the decay rate and the system parameters.

Water quality, compliance, and health outcomes among utilities implementing Water Safety Plans in France and Spain

description: Water Safety Plans (WSPs), recommended by the World Health Organization since 2004, seek to proactively identify potential risks to drinking water supplies and implement preventive barriers that improve safety. To evaluate the outcomes of WSP application in large drinking water systems in France and Spain, we undertook analysis of water quality and compliance indicators between 2003 and 2015, in conjunction with an observational retrospective cohort study of acute gastroenteritis incidence, before and after WSPs were implemented at five locations. Measured water quality indicators included bacteria (E. coli, fecal streptococci, total coliform, heterotrophic plate count), disinfectants (residual free and total chlorine), disinfection by-products (trihalomethanes, bromate), aluminum, pH, turbidity, and total organic carbon, comprising about 240K manual samples and 1.2M automated sensor readings. We used multiple, Poisson, or Tobit regression models to evaluate water quality before and after the WSP intervention. The compliance assessment analyzed exceedances of regulated, recommended, or operational water quality thresholds using chi-squared or Fisher’s exact tests. Poisson regression was used to examine acute gastroenteritis incidence rates in WSP-affected drinking water service areas relative to a comparison area. Implementation of a WSP generally resulted in unchanged or improved water quality, while compliance improved at most locations. Evidence for reduced acute gastroenteritis incidence following WSP implementation was found at only one of the three locations examined. Outcomes of WSPs should be expected to vary across large water utilities in developed nations, as the intervention itself is adapted to the needs of each location. The approach may translate to diverse water quality, compliance, and health outcomes.
The Chandra/HETG view of NGC 1365 in a Compton-thick state

description: We present the analysis of a Chandra High-Energy Transmission Grating (HETG) observation of the local Seyfert galaxy NGC 1365. The source, well known for its dramatic X-ray spectral variability, was caught in a reflection-dominated, Compton-thick state. The high spatial resolution afforded by Chandra allowed us to isolate the soft X-ray emission from the active nucleus, neglecting most of the contribution from the kpc-scale starburst ring. The HETG spectra thus revealed a wealth of He- and H-like lines from photoionized gas, whereas in larger aperture observations these are almost exclusively produced through collisional ionization in the circumnuclear environment. Once the residual thermal component is accounted for, the emission-line properties of the photoionized region close to the hard X-ray continuum source indicate that NGC 1365 has some similarities to the local population of obscured active galaxies. In spite of the limited overall data quality, several soft X-ray lines seem to have fairly broad profiles (~800-1300 km/s full-width at half maximum), and a range of outflow velocities (up to ~1600 km/s, but possibly reaching a few thousands km/s) appears to be involved. At higher energies, the K$α$ fluorescence line from neutral iron is resolved with > 99 per cent confidence, and its width of ~3000 km/s points to an origin from the same broad-line region clouds responsible for eclipsing the X-ray source and likely shielding the narrow-line region.

Loop quantum gravity coupled to a scalar field

description: We reconsider the Rovelli-Smolin model of gravity coupled to the Klein-Gordon time field with an eye towards capturing the degrees of freedom of the scalar field lost in the framework in which time is deparametrized by the scalar field. Several new results for loop quantum gravity are obtained: (i) a Hilbert space for the gravity-matter system and a non-standard representation of the scalar field thereon is constructed, (ii) a new operator for the scalar constraint of the coupled system is defined and investigated, (iii) methods for solving the constraint are developed. Commutators of the new constraint do not vanish, but seem to reproduce a part of the Dirac algebra. This, however, poses problems for finding solutions. Hence the states we consider -- and perhaps the whole setup -- still needs some improvement. As a side result we describe a representation of the gravitational degrees of freedom in which the flux is diagonal. This representation bears a strong resemblance to the BF vacuum of Dittrich and Geiller.

Phonological neighbourhood development in the Eleanor corpus
Creators: name: Jones, Samuel
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: This study looks at phonological neighbourhood development in the Eleanor corpus from the MPI-EVA database (see https://childes.talkbank.org/access/Eng-UK/MPI-EVA-Manchester.html). We are interested in two aspects of neighbourhood development. The first is whether early-produced words have few or many +/- phoneme neighbours in the ambient language relative to late-produced words. The second is whether the degree of phonological similarity between words in Eleanor’s productive lexicon changes over time.
