description: The article is an attempt at presenting the development of native Japanese poetry at the turn of Nara and Heian epochs through the influence of the so-called "after-night letters" (intimate erotic poems circulated solely in the private correspondence of aristocrats and ladies-in-waiting) on the official court literature. In the period separating the edition of two first anthologies of Japanese poetry - "Man'yoshu" (The Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves) and "Kokinwakashu" (The Collection of Ancient and Modern Songs) there was a marked change in the mode of emotional expression of the speaking subject and in the use of poetic tropes. Even though in the intervening years the Yamato court came under the considerable Chinese influence, the feminine aesthetics, so characteristic of the "after-night letters", gradually became part of waka poetry as the latter grew in popularity, and eventually found expression in the manifesto of the new poetics - Ki no Tsurayuki's "Kanajo". Therefore, it was the erotic poems written by ladies-in-waiting that saved Japanese poetry from sinization, while also giving it - in contrast to vividly expressive elegies from the "Man'yoshu" collection - a new inflection through the application of subtle allusions and puns, often used earlier in private, intimate correspondence.

description: The equations of state for degenerate electron and neutron gases are studied in the presence of magnetic fields. After including quantum effects to study the structural properties of these systems, it is found that some hypermagnetized stars can be unstable based on the criterium of stability of pressures. Highly magnetized white dwarfs should collapse producing a supernova type Ia, whilst superstrongly magnetized neutron stars cannot stand their own magnetic field and must implode, too. A comparison of our results with a set of the available observational data of some compact stars is also presented, and the agreement between this theory and observations is verified.

description: NA61/SHINE is a fixed target experiment designed to study hadron-proton, hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions at the CERN Super-Proton-Synchrotron. In this paper we summarize the results from pion-carbon collisions recorded at beam momenta of 158 and 350 GeV/c. Hadron production measurements in this type of interactions is of fundamental importance for the understanding of the muon production in extensive air showers. In particular, production of (anti)baryons and $ρ^0$ are mechanisms responsible for increasing the number of muons which reaches the ground. The underestimation of the (anti)baryons or $ρ^0$ production rates in current hadronic interaction models could be one of the sources of the excess of muons observed by cosmic ray experiments. The results on the production spectra of $π^{\pm}$, K$^{\pm}$, p, $\bar{\text{p}}$, $Λ$, $\barΛ$, K$^{0}_\text{S}$, $ρ^0$, $ω$ and K$^{0*}$ are presented, as well as their comparison to predictions of hadronic interaction models currently used in air shower simulations.

description: Excerpts from the report: There were 32 centrals, or raw sugar mills, in operation in Puerto Rico in 1957, owned by 22 firms. These firms process sugarcane produced by more than 17,000 farmers or colonos, and market the raw sugar produced from it. The raw sugar mills receive a share of the sugar produced from processing sugarcane. The colonos may take their sugar and market it themselves; however, most sell it to the mills, which market it. The objective of this study was to provide centrals with a basis for evaluating their practices and selecting the best method of marketing. The study was designed (1) to describe the market for Puerto Rican raw sugar and the economic forces in the market which influence the marketing and pricing practices of Puerto Rican raw sugar mills, (2) to analyze price formation in the raw sugar market and factors influencing the raw sugar price, (3) to examine alternative pricing methods and the use of the spot quotation in the average-price method of selling, and (4) to analyze raw sugar price fluctuations and compare market prices with prices received by Puerto Rican raw sugar mills under particular pricing methods.

description: This study examined human resource management and educational goal achievement in North-central zone, Nigeria. Quantitative research designed was used for this study. Sample of 331 principals were proportionally selected from the sample junior secondary school. Data was collected using Human Resource Management Questionnaire. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data collected. The findings reveal that staff development and Provision of staff welfare and appraisal of staff performance were significantly and positively correlated with educational goal achievement. Therefore, it was recommended that school administrators should give room for continuous staff development so as to provide teachers with the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills and attitude needed to perform effectively in the class. In addition, school administrators should improve on the provision of staff welfare by paying salary and allowance regularly and promptly in order to allow teachers to concentrate on their professional task and improve total commitment of staff for the purpose of educational goal achievement. Furthermore, school administrators should continue to appraise staff performance in order to provide constructive feedback as well as identifying areas of improvement as well as allowing teacher to identify their areas of strengths and weaknesses so as to enhance educational goal achievement.

description: We investigate collapse of a spherical cloud of counter-rotating particles. An explicit solution is given using an elliptic integral. If the specific angular momentum $L(r)=O(r^2)$ at $r\to 0$, no central singularity occurs. With $L(r)$ like that, there is a finite region around the center that bounces. On the other hand, if the order of $L(r)$ is higher than that, a central singularity occurs. In marginally bound collapse with $L(r)=4F(r)$, a naked singularity occurs, where $F(r)$ is the Misner-Sharp mass. The solution for this case is expressed by elementary functions. For $ 4

description: Objective: Posttraumatic mental disorders may occur with different affect qualities. Best known is posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a conditioned anxiety reaction with intrusions. Another event-related mental disorder is posttraumatic embitterment (PTED), characterized by affect of embitterment and thoughts of revenge, occurring after an event deeply hurting basic believes. Knowing about associated disability is important for treatment and socio-medical decisions. This is the first study to explore work- disability in patients with PTSD, PTED and not-event-related common mental disorder (CMD).
Methods: In this observational study 101 soldiers (85% men, 31 years, 50% experienced expedition abroad) with different mental disorders were investigated concerning common mental disorders (MINI) and accompanying work capacity impairment (Mini-ICF-APP). Interviews were conducted by a state-licensed psychotherapist with expertise in socio-medical description of (work) capacity impairment. Patients with PTSD, PTED, and other CMD were compared concerning their degrees and pattern of work capacity impairment.
Results: PTSD patients (n = 23) were more strongly impaired in mobility as compared to patients with other CMD (n = 64) or PTED. Patients with PTED (n = 14) were more impaired in interactional capacities (contacts with others, group integration) as compared to patients with other CMD or PTSD.
Conclusions: PTSD patients need support to improve mobility in (work-relevant) traffic situations. Apart from this, they are not specifically more or less impaired than patients with other CMD. PTED patients should get attention concerning their interactional problems as these may disturb esprit de corps which is an essential requirement for service in the armed forces.

description: We show that for superconducting Sr_2RuO_4 any unconventional pairing in the part of the Fermi surface with Ru 4d-xy orbital character is weakly coupled to that with Ru 4d-xz, 4d-yz orbital character. This naturally gives rise to two disparate energy scales in the superconducting state which leads to novel low temperature properties in a variety of thermodynamic and transport properties and which would also account for the large residual density of states seen in specific heat and NQR measurements.

description: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Einschätzungen von Geschlechtsdifferenzen für die psychologischen Konstrukte der kognitiven Fähigkeiten, beruflichen Interessen, Persönlich-keit und Sozialverhalten und vergleicht diese mit bestehenden metaanalytischen Ergebnis-sen. Zudem wird der Einfluss der soziodemographischen Variablen des Geschlechts, der Bildung und des Alters auf die Einschätzungen analysiert. Es wird angenommen, dass die Einschätzungen mit den metaanalytisch nachgewiesenen Effektstärken mehrheitlich über-einstimmen sowie die definierten soziodemographischen Merkmale zu unterschiedlichen Schätzwerten führen. Ein quantitatives Versuchsdesign wird zur Beantwortung der For-schungsfragen gewählt, wobei die Geschlechtsunterschiedseinschätzungen einer heteroge-nen Stichprobe (N = 130) auf 18 Merkmalen der definierten psychologischen Konstrukte mit-tels Online-Fragebogen erfasst wurden. Anschliessend erfolgte die Datenauswertung an-hand einer Differenzmessung sowie einer Kovarianzanalyse mit Messwiederholung. Die Er-gebnisse zeigen, dass die Einschätzungen auf drei Merkmalen korrekt und auf fünf Merkma-len ungenau sind im Vergleich zu den metaanalytischen Daten. Zehn Merkmale weichen klar von den metaanalytischen Referenz-Grössen ab, wovon acht Unterschätzungen und zwei Überschätzungen der effektiv nachgewiesenen Werte sind. Das Geschlecht sowie das Alter der Probandinnen und Probanden haben einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Schätzwerte, nicht aber die Bildung. Die Ergebnisse werden hinsichtlich deren Kongruenz mit bestehender Forschung diskutiert und interpretiert.

description: In 'PAN' 13 John Bradley responded to a rhetorical question put to him by Dinah Norman a-Marrngawi, a mentor of his in the Yanyuwa language and ways of North East Arnhem Land, which I have not been able to forget since: can her Country hear English? For a fully committed animist like myself, this gentle interrogation works away at the craw like a Zen koan: how can we live 'here' - wherever that is - as full ecological citizens, if we cannot do so in communication with the land and sea, forests and mountains and rivers? If this Country cannot hear English, it cannot receive my blessings, it can only sense my thanks mutely at best, and surely it cannot return any sort of grace when I speak my native language. My relationship with non-human kin is mute; or worse, marked by the violence, disdain and assumed mastery that comes with colonizing history.

description: Point source localisation is generally modelled as a Lasso-type problem on measures. However, optimisation methods in non-Hilbert spaces, such as the space of Radon measures, are much less developed than in Hilbert spaces. Most numerical algorithms for point source localisation are based on the Frank-Wolfe conditional gradient method, for which ad hoc convergence theory is developed. We develop extensions of proximal-type methods to spaces of measures. This includes forward-backward splitting, its inertial version, and primal-dual proximal splitting. Their convergence proofs follow standard patterns. We demonstrate their numerical efficacy.

description: This is a brief review of the main results of our recent studies of the nonlinear evolution of the small-scale MHD dynamo in the high-Prandtl-number regime and of the structure of the resulting saturated state of the isotropic homogeneous MHD turbulence. It is emphasized that the MHD regime without a uniform mean field (as is the case in our studies) is fundamentally different from the one in which such a field is externally imposed. The ability of the turbulence to bend and fold the magnetic-field lines leads to the emergence of a distinctive small-scale structure. The fields are organized in folds of characteristic length comparable to the size of the largest turbulent eddies with spatial-direction reversals at the resistive scale. These folds are very hard to destroy. In the nonlinear regime, the folding structure coexists with Alfven waves propagating along the folds. The turbulent energy injected by the forcing is dissipated in part resistively via the small-scale magnetic fields, and in part viscously via the Alfven waves.

description: This paper studies how undergraduate students of preschool education perceive their professional identity during their studies. Written affirmations of the study participants (n=46) reflecting on their educational experiences within the framework of an experiential approach in the kindergarten were collected. The qualitative data analysis revealed two significant findings: Firstly, the professional identity is shaped in correlation to the period of undergraduate studies, which can be analyzed in three non-standard time phases (past, present, future) that are discriminated depending on practical-experiential exercises (past and present) and on the completion of university studies as well as the subsequent career path (future). Secondly, it became apparent that the students’ opinions about their identity are presented through a self-referential approach (relating to their own work as educators) or through hetero-referential approaches (relating to other individual from the school environment).

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurden anhand halbstrukturierter Leitfadeninterviews mit Führungspersonen Herausforderungen und Chancen erhoben, die sich aus Sicht der Führungspersonen an ihre Führungsarbeit bei Activity Based Working und Homeoffice stellen, sowie die relevanten Kompetenzen in diesem Zusammenhang identifizieren. Zu den Herausforderungen gehören der Teamzusammenhalt, die Kommunikation, das Vertrauen und die Balance zwischen Nähe und Distanz in der Führung. Gleichzeitig bieten Activity Based Working und Homeoffice Chancen für die Führungspersonen, welche in der gesteigerten Flexibilität, der erhöhten Arbeitsmotivation, der Attraktivität als Arbeitgebende und der geförderten Eigenverantwortung der Mitarbeitenden liegen. Die Untersuchung zeigte, dass die Führungspersonen sich selbst wichtige Kompetenzen zuschreiben, um diese Herausforderungen zu bewältigen und die Chancen optimal zu nutzen. Zu den relevanten Kompetenzen der Führungspersonen gehören Empathie, Vertrauen, Veränderungsfähigkeit, Kommunikation, Flexibilität, Organisationsfähigkeit, Konfliktfähigkeit und Durchsetzungsvermögen. Weiter folgte eine Fokusgruppen-Diskussion mit Mitarbeitenden, um die Erwartungen an ihre Führungspersonen bei Activity Based Working und Homeoffice zu eruieren. Die Mitarbeitenden erwarten von ihren Führungspersonen klare und regelmässige Kommunikation sowie Vertrauen, Offenheit gegenüber Veränderungen, Nähe zu ihren Führungspersonen, Empathie, Fairness in der Behandlung, Partizipation der Mitarbeitenden, organisatorische Fähigkeiten, Durchsetzungsvermögen, Fachwissen und eine Vorbildfunktion in der Anwendung von Activity Based Working und Homeoffice. Die Ergebnisse der Fokusgruppen-Diskussion bestätigen dadurch die von den Führungspersonen genannten, relevanten Kompetenzen und ergänzen sie vor allem durch die Betonung der Vorbildfunktion.

description: Clustering analysis of sequence data continues to address many applications in engineering design, aided with the rapid growth of machine learning in applied science. This paper presents an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to extract defining characteristics of earthquake ground-motion spectra, also called latent features, to aid in ground-motion selection (GMS). In this context, a latent feature is a low-dimensional machine-discovered spectral characteristic learned through nonlinear relationships of a neural network autoencoder. Machine discovered latent features can be combined with traditionally defined intensity measures and clustering can be performed to select a representative subgroup from a large ground-motion suite. The objective of efficient GMS is to choose characteristic records representative of what the structure will probabilistically experience in its lifetime. Three examples are presented to validate this approach, including the use of synthetic and field recorded ground-motion datasets. The presented deep embedding clustering of ground-motion spectra has three main advantages: 1. defining characteristics the represent the sparse spectral content of ground-motions are discovered efficiently through training of the autoencoder, 2. domain knowledge is incorporated into the machine learning framework with conditional variables in the deep embedding scheme, and 3. method exhibits excellent performance when compared to a benchmark seismic hazard analysis.

description: Different languages, knowledge systems and ways of knowing impact upon shared understandings of place across and within landscapes. In this article we illustrate ways in which Noongar and English language-based understandings of groundwater and wetland interactions can inform a third space. Noongar knowledges recognise deep interdependences across social, linguistic, ecological, physical and spiritual domains, while English ways of knowing highlight separations and abstractions such as those between people and nature, and spirit and matter. The English language assumes a linear sense of time in which the past is always behind the present, where going forward is associated with progress. Noongar language acknowledges cycles of time, enabling the heroic characters and ancestors of the past to participate in a 'long now', and continue to impress upon people the need to care through the maintenance of storied and sacred places, an example of a living mythos. Using Latour's social theory (2017), we show the instability of separations, particularly between people and nature, due to their multiple interrelationships. Aboriginal ways of addressing wetlands as places in a cosmology can be used by all visitors and residents, to nurture a sense of respect, care and familiarity. We recommend learning local Aboriginal languages and place-based knowledges in environmental sciences at all levels, and in all schools to facilitate this process.

description: On-line learning of probability distributions is analyzed from the field theoretical point of view. We can obtain an optimal on-line learning algorithm, since renormalization group enables us to control the number of degrees of freedom of a system according to the number of examples. We do not learn parameters of a model, but probability distributions themselves. Therefore, the algorithm requires no a priori knowledge of a model.

description: The uncertainties of the Standard Model prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon are currently completely dominated by hadronic contributions. The largest contribution is due to the hadronic vacuum polarization. Hadronic cross sections measured at $e^+e^-$ colliders can be exploited as experimental input to improve the calculations, making use of the optical theorem. At the BESIII experiment in Beijing these cross sections are determined using different methods. At center-of-mass energies above 2 GeV exclusive and inclusive cross sections can be measured in an energy scan. Additionally, cross sections can be determined starting from the $π^+π^-$ mass threshold using the method of Initial State Radiation. An overview of the recent results and the status of the analyses is provided.

description: In the Maker-Breaker domination game played on a graph $G$, Dominator's goal is to select a dominating set and Staller's goal is to claim a closed neighborhood of some vertex. We study the cases when Staller can win the game. If Dominator (resp., Staller) starts the game, then $γ_{\rm SMB}(G)$ (resp., $γ_{\rm SMB}'(G)$) denotes the minimum number of moves Staller needs to win. For every positive integer $k$, trees $T$ with $γ_{\rm SMB}'(T)=k$ are characterized and a general upper bound on $γ_{\rm SMB}'$ is proved. Let $S = S(n_1,\dots, n_\ell)$ be the subdivided star obtained from the star with $\ell$ edges by subdividing its edges $n_1-1, \ldots, n_\ell-1$ times, respectively. Then $γ_{\rm SMB}'(S)$ is determined in all the cases except when $\ell\ge 4$ and each $n_i$ is even. The simplest formula is obtained when there are at least two odd $n_i$s. If $n_1$ and $n_2$ are the two smallest such numbers, then $γ_{\rm SMB}'(S(n_1,\dots, n_\ell))=\lceil \log_2(n_1+n_2+1)\rceil$. For caterpillars, exact formulas for $γ_{\rm SMB}$ and for $γ_{\rm SMB}'$ are established.

description: Background: Mental work-ability decisions must be based on information on person´s symptom load, cognitive performance and workplace conditions. This investigation explores in which way these factors contribute to work ability in persons with common mental disorders CMD).
Methods: 1570 CMD-patients underwent multimodal medical diagnostic. Participants filled in questionnaires on work-phobic-anxiety and general mental symptom load. They were also investigated concerning their cognitive performance. Sick leave duration, workplace problems and subjective work-ability were assessed. Physicians´ decision on the persons´ work-ability (fit or unfit for work) was given five weeks later.
Results: Negative work-ability perception, long previous sick leave duration and high work phobic anxiety explained unfitness for work, whereas general symptom load and general cognitive performance did not.
Conclusion: Work-directed diagnostics and interventions must address work-phobic anxiety and subjective work ability perception.

description: Current work is in evaluating the contribution of didactic engineering based on the use of modeling simulations for teaching – the functional dimension of learning constitutes the difficult learning of mechanics, according to some researchers. Therefore, to advance a reliable tool that can convey in the light of learners' representations, it is necessary to analyze different types of obstacles and collect difficulties encountered by learners' thinking and reasoning. For this, we have chosen educational scenarios based on the use of simulations designed by computer tools. Next, a knowledge analysis of student-teacher interaction within the framework of the theory of joint action in teaching. Finally, we found that the integration of digital models enabled students to overcome certain deficiencies associated with reading assembly drawings and identifying from them the parts that make up a mechanism and their roles. This makes it easier to understand the "functional dimensions" feature, draw dimension chains, and determine functional dimensions in part definition drawings.

Recent international literature highlights the importance of PA in improving students' executive functions (EF). Additionally, related research finds that the development of EF is closely intertwined with AP. Research with the participation of students specifically involved in the sport of tennis, which is the focus of this paper, leads to similar conclusions. This identifies a research area that should also be the subject of research in Greece as well.

description: Coverings of undirected graphs are used in distributed computing, and unfoldings of directed graphs in semantics of programs. We study these two notions from a graph theoretical point of view so as to highlight their similarities, as they are both defined in terms of surjective graph homomorphisms. In particular, universal coverings and complete unfoldings are infinite trees that are regular if the initial graphs are finite. Regularity means that a tree has finitely many subtrees up to isomorphism. Two important theorems have been established by Leighton and Norris for coverings. We prove similar statements for unfoldings.
 Our study of the difficult proof of Leighton's Theorem lead us to generalize coverings and similarly, unfoldings, by attaching finite or infinite weights to edges of the covered or unfolded graphs. This generalization yields a canonical factorization of the universal covering of any finite graph, that (provably) does not exist without using weights. Introducing infinite weights provides us with finite descriptions of regular trees having nodes of countably infinite degree. We also generalize to weighted graphs and their coverings a classical factorization theorem of their characteristic polynomials.

description: A model of an information system describes its processes and how resources are involved in these processes to manipulate data objects. This paper presents an extension to the Petri nets formalism suitable for describing information systems in which states refer to object instances of predefined types and resources are identified as instances of special object types. Several correctness criteria for resource- and object-aware information systems models are proposed, supplemented with discussions on their decidability for interesting classes of systems. These new correctness criteria can be seen as generalizations of the classical soundness property of workflow models concerned with process control flow correctness.
Conformal invariance studies of the Baxter-Wu model and a related site-colouring problem

description: The partition function of the Baxter-Wu model is exactly related to the generating function of a site-colouring problem on a hexagonal lattice. We extend the original Bethe ansatz solution of these models in order to obtain the eigenspectra of their transfer matrices in finite geometries and general toroidal boundary conditions. The operator content of these models are studied by solving numerically the Bethe-ansatz equations and by exploring conformal invariance. Since the eigenspectra are calculated for large lattices, the corrections to finite-size scaling are also calculated.

Contar la monta�a: Pedro Antonio de Alarc�n y los Alpes
Creators: name: Canals Pi�as, Jorge
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Trento
Year: 2021

description: El presente volumen contiene la edici�n cr�tica anotada del Libro II de 'De Madrid a N�poles' (1861), en el que Pedro Antonio de Alarc�n relata su incursi�n al Valle de Chamonix, al tiempo que deja constancia de su aventurero paso por el puerto del Simpl�n y tras haber recorrido el cant�n suizo de Valais. Dicha obra, enmarcada a pleno t�tulo en el g�nero de la literatura de viajes decimon�nica peninsular, se erige en uno de los primeros textos hisp�nicos en los que el �rea alpina se describe con detalle, lo que de paso nos permite pulsar la relaci�n que el viajero ?con neta y deliberada actitud postrom�ntica? establece con el entorno natural que atraviesa. En el ensayo preliminar que antecede a la edici�n del texto, el autor se esfuerza por proyectar el relato del escritor andaluz en un contexto social y cultural que se hallaba en plena transformaci�n; habida cuenta de que la obra de Alarc�n fue el resultado de un viaje que se llev� a cabo cuando ya la revoluci�n industrial, consolidada en Gran Breta�a y Francia, hab�a generado las circunstancias que propiciaron la expansi�n del turismo como h�bito que la burgues�a europea asimilar�a a fondo. La edici�n del texto atiende a las numerosas variantes redaccionales que el escritor andaluz introdujo tras los respectivos procesos de revisi�n antes de darlo de nuevo a la imprenta en 1878 y en 1886. Al inter�s documental se suma, en definitiva, el atractivo filol�gico que esta obra sin duda suscitar� entre los especialistas.
Conserved chiral currents on the boundary of 3D Maxwell theory

description: In this paper the 3D Maxwell theory with single-sided planar boundary is studied. As a consequence of the existence, on the boundary, of two Ward identities, we find two chiral conserved edge currents satisfying a Kaç-Moody algebra with central charge equal to the inverse of the Maxwell coupling constant. We show that the boundary degrees of freedom are two 2D scalar chiral bosons whose chiralities depend on the parameters of the bulk Maxwell theory. In particular, the edge chiral bosons may have opposite chiralities, in close analogy with the "spinon" and "holon" currents characterizing the 3D topological insulators.

Deep Learning for Spatiotemporal Nowcasting

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento

description: Nowcasting ? short-term forecasting using current observations ? is a key challenge that human activities have to face on a daily basis. We heavily rely on short-term meteorological predictions in domains such as aviation, agriculture, mobility, and energy production. One of the most important and challenging task for meteorology is the nowcasting of extreme events, whose anticipation is highly needed to mitigate risk in terms of social or economic costs and human safety. The goal of this thesis is to contribute with new machine learning methods to improve the spatio-temporal precision of nowcasting of extreme precipitation events. This work relies on recent advances in deep learning for nowcasting, adding methods targeted at improving nowcasting using ensembles and trained on novel original data resources. Indeed, the new curated multi-year radar scan dataset (TAASRAD19) is introduced that contains more than 350.000 labelled precipitation records over 10 years, to provide a baseline benchmark, and foster reproducibility of machine learning modeling. A TrajGRU model is applied to TAASRAD19, and implemented in an operational prototype. The thesis also introduces a novel method for fast analog search based on manifold learning: the tool leverages the entire dataset history in less than 5 seconds and demonstrates the feasibility of predictive ensembles. In the final part of the thesis, the new deep learning architecture ConvSG based on stacked generalization is presented, introducing novel concepts for deep learning in precipitation nowcasting: ConvSG is specifically designed to improve predictions of extreme precipitation regimes over published methods, and shows a 117% skill improvement on extreme rain regimes over a single member. Moreover, ConvSG shows superior or equal skills compared to Lagrangian Extrapolation models for all rain rates, achieving a 49% average improvement in predictive skill over extrapolation on the higher precipitation regimes.

description: We prove that, given a time-independent Lagrangian defined in the first tangent bundle of configuration space, every infinitesimal Noether symmetry that is defined in the $n$-tangent bundle and is not vanishing on-shell, can be written as a canonical symmetry in an enlarged phase space, up to constraints that vanish on-shell. The proof is performed by the implementation of a change of variables from the the $n$-tangent bundle of the Lagrangian theory to an extension of the Hamiltonian formalism which is particularly suited for the case when the Lagrangian is singular. This result proves the assertion that any Noether symmetry can be canonically realized in an enlarged phase space. Then we work out the regular case as a particular application of this ideas and rederive the Noether identities in this framework. Finally we present an example to illustrate our results.

description: A classical result of Littlewood gives a factorisation for the Schur function at a set of variables "twisted" by a primitive $t$-th root of unity, characterised by the core and quotient of the indexing partition. While somewhat neglected, it has proved to be an important tool in the character theory of the symmetric group, the cyclic sieving phenomenon, plethysms of symmetric functions and more. Recently, similar factorisations for the characters of the groups $\mathrm{O}(2n,\mathbb{C})$, $\mathrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathrm{SO}(2n+1,\mathbb{C})$ were obtained by Ayyer and Kumari. We lift these results to the level of universal characters, which has the benefit of making the proofs simpler and the structure of the factorisations more transparent. Our approach also allows for universal character extensions of some factorisations of a different nature originally discovered by Ciucu and Krattenthaler, and generalised by Ayyer and Behrend.

description: This paper examines the water state changes in Early Childhood Education. Particularly, the designing and implementation of STEAM activities regarding the melting of the ice is presented with the use of the Engineering Design Process. It also presents the results of this qualitative study where 15 children between five and six years old engaged in pre-and post-tests as well as in a 4-staged STEAM teaching intervention. The children followed four stages to solve a real-life problem, firstly they identified the problem and then developed ideas, and solutions designed their own solutions, and tested them while presenting the final outcomes at the end. The analysis of the results revealed that children at this age are able to understand the water state changes and link the ice with water under specific designated STEAM activities.
