description: The field of artificial intelligence has recently experienced a number of breakthroughs thanks to progress in deep learning and reinforcement learning. Computer algorithms now outperform humans at Go, Jeopardy, image classification, and lip reading, and are becoming very competent at driving cars and interpreting natural language. The rapid development has led many to conjecture that artificial intelligence with greater-than-human ability on a wide range of tasks may not be far. This in turn raises concerns whether we know how to control such systems, in case we were to successfully build them. Indeed, if humanity would find itself in conflict with a system of much greater intelligence than itself, then human society would likely lose. One way to make sure we avoid such a conflict is to ensure that any future AI system with potentially greater-than-human-intelligence has goals that are aligned with the goals of the rest of humanity. For example, it should not wish to kill humans or steal their resources. The main focus of this thesis will therefore be goal alignment, i.e. how to design artificially intelligent agents with goals coinciding with the goals of their designers. Focus will mainly be directed towards variants of reinforcement learning, as reinforcement learning currently seems to be the most promising path towards powerful artificial intelligence. We identify and categorize goal misalignment problems in reinforcement learning agents as designed today, and give examples of how these agents may cause catastrophes in the future. We also suggest a number of reasonably modest modifications that can be used to avoid or mitigate each identified misalignment problem. Finally, we also study various choices of decision algorithms, and conditions for when a powerful reinforcement learning system will permit us to shut it down. The central conclusion is that while reinforcement learning systems as designed today are inherently unsafe to scale to human levels of intelligence, there are ways to potentially address many of these issues without straying too far from the currently so successful reinforcement learning paradigm. Much work remains in turning the high-level proposals suggested in this thesis into practical algorithms, however.

Pazifismus in Japan - ein Auslaufmodell?
Creators: name: Fuhrt, Volker
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: The paper starts with the observation that Japan, since 1945 usually considered as a country with a strong pacifist inclination, showed, at least in international comparison, only a minor degree of protest against the support of US military intervention and occupation in Iraq by the Japanese government in 2003. A first attempt to explain this phenomenon goes back to the heyday of Japanese peace movements in the decade after the withdrawal of the US occupation troops in Japan in 1952. During this decade the protests of Japanese peace movements were highly influenced by left wing organizations both in organizational and ideological terms. Among these groups there was a growing anxiety to be drawn into another war by the Japanese government, which cooperated very closely with the USA. The one-sided ideological orientation of these "traditional" peace movements was a severe obstacle for a lasting resonance of their efforts in the public sphere of Japan. The second important feature of Japanese peace movements was a highly biased invocation of the historical role of Japan as a victim of the Second World War (Hiroshima, Nagasaki) together with the displacement of those cases were Japanese troops had acted as perpetrators. On the one hand, this bias resonated wirh the Japanese way of coming to terms with their own past, but on the other hand it contributed to a growing isolation of Japanese peace movements in the Far East.

The Gender of War and Peace: Rhetoric in the West German Peace Movement of the Early 1980s
Creators: name: Davis, Belinda
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: This article attempts to trace some of the gendered sources in drawing great numbers of feminists alongside other groups of West Germans into the unprecedentedly large peace movement of the early 1980s. It examines some of the tensions and paradoxes of these sources, including concerning the relation between "everyday violence" and war, and regarding the relation between "feminine" characteristics and pacifism, and whether these characteristics could apply to both men and women. Finally the piece looks at the ways in which a gendered rhetoric became mapped onto the question of "rearmament alongside disarmament" in a fashion simultaneously extremely effective and potentially problematic, in setting up more and less useful visions of "self' (as "women" and as "West Germans") and "other," and the relationship between them.

Diverging Paths to Modernity: Socialism as an Intellectual Movement in the Nineteenth Century. A Comparative Approach
Creators: name: Dimou, Augusta
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2014

description: The article examines the introduction of socialist theory as part of the political modernity of the nineteenth century in three Balkan countries: Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece. It discusses first the dialectics between the introduction of an ideology and its context of adaptation. Then it proposes to view the transportation and adaptation of ideologies as a dynamic process involving multiple strategies. Further, the article situates socialism among other ideologies of mass representation in the nineteenth century, establishes the temporal sequence in which they were introduced in the Balkan space and assesses their relationship to the broader project of constructing modernity. The fact that socialism could assert itself as an ideological option in the predominantly agrarian Balkan societies of the nineteenth century may appear at first glance paradoxical. The article thus examines the significance of socialism against the background of "underdevelopment", and underlines the influence of intellectllals as the principal disseminators of ideology. It highlights the catalytic influence of Russian socialism in the 1870s and 80s (predominandy populism and, to a lesser extent, Marxism) on the early Balkan socialist movement, an influence that did not limit itself to intellectual fertilization, but was also instructive for the model of "intelligentsia" that was concomitantly adopted. It maps out the geographic contours of early socialism, pointing to the significance of Russian influence for the east-central Balkans (Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania), and traces these early itineraries of influence and networks of transfer. It singles out the case of Greece, which due to predominantly Western socialist influence was left unrouched by Russian radical thought. It discusses further the passage from the populist to the Marxist paradigm and the growing influence, of Western Marxism, exploring the diverse ramifications that the interplay between Populism, Marxian socialism, and agrarianism were to follow in each of these countries, and concludes with an assessment regarding broader legacies of intellecrual transfer in the Balkans.

description: We characterize the image of the period map for cubic fourfolds with at worst simple singularities as the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes in the period space. It follows then that the GIT compactification of the moduli space of cubic fourfolds is isomorphic to the Looijenga's compactification associated to this arrangement. This work builds on and is a natural continuation of our previous paper on the GIT compactification of the moduli space of cubic fourfolds.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Well-being of Asians and Asian Americans
Creators: name: Lee, Eunhye
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected Asians and Asian Americans (A/AA), leading to various stressors and challenges. This dissertation comprises three studies aimed at understanding psychological resilience among A/AA during the pandemic.

The first study, a scoping review, examined the conceptualization and operationalization of psychological resilience and its associated protective factors and mechanisms among A/AA. Findings revealed diverse conceptualizations, with personal growth being understudied compared to the absence of psychopathology and stable functioning. Protective factors and mechanisms included personal traits, ethnic identity, social support, and coping mechanisms.

The second study investigated the association between COVID-19-related stressors and stress-related growth, and how this relationship varies by age, gender, and ethnicity. Using data from the Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander COVID-19 Needs Assessment Study (N=3120), multiple weighted linear regressions were conducted. Results showed that perceived systemic racism was associated with stress-related growth in some models. Gender and ethnicity moderated the associations between social stressor burdens, material stressors, and stress-related growth, emphasizing the importance of considering intersectionality within A/AA.

The third study examined the mediating role of social support in the relationship between social stressor burdens and stress-related growth among Asian and Asian American women (N=1894). Weighted linear regressions and mediation analyses using the Preacher and Hayes method revealed that both receiving and providing social support were associated with stress-related growth. Notably, providing social support partially mediated the relationship between social stressor burdens and stress-related growth, highlighting the importance of considering the direction of social support in understanding stress-related growth processes among Asian and Asian American women.

description: We provide accurate Monte Carlo results for the free energy of interfaces with periodic boundary conditions in the 3D Ising model. We study a large range of inverse temperatures, allowing to control corrections to scaling. In addition to square interfaces, we study rectangular interfaces for a large range of aspect ratios u=L_1/L_2. Our numerical results are compared with predictions of effective interface models. This comparison verifies clearly the effective Nambu-Goto model up to two-loop order. Our data also allow us to obtain the estimates T_c sigma^-1/2=1.235(2), m_0++ sigma^-1/2=3.037(16) and R_+=f_+^2 sigma_0 =0.387(2), which are more precise than previous ones.

description: The pressure-volume-temperature equation of state of the intermetallic compound NiAl was calculated theoretically, and compared with experimental measurements. Electron ground states were calculated for NiAl in the CsCl structure, using density functional theory, and were used to predict the cold compression curve and the density of phonon states. The Rose form of compression curve was found to reproduce the ab initio calculations well in compression but exhibited significant deviations in expansion. A thermodynamically-complete equation of state was constructed for NiAl. Shock waves were induced in crystals of NiAl by the impact of laser-launched Cu flyers and by launching NiAl flyers into transparent windows of known properties. The TRIDENT laser was used to accelerate the flyers to speeds between 100 and 600m/s. Point and line-imaging laser Doppler velocimetry was used to measure the acceleration of the flyer and the surface velocity history of the target. The velocity histories were used to deduce the stress state, and hence states on the principal Hugoniot and the flow stress. Flyers and targets were recovered from most experiments. The effect of elasticity and plastic flow in the sample and window was assessed. The ambient isotherm reproduced static compression data very well, and the predicted Hugoniot was consistent with shock compression data.

description: Fermi and kinetic energy are usually calculated in periodic boundary conditions model, which is not self-consistent for low-dimensional problems, where particles are confined. Thus for confined particles the potential box model was used self-consistently to calculate Fermi and kinetic energies in 3-, 2-, and 1-dimensional cases. This approach is much more logical and self-consistent. Then the conditions for neglecting dimensions, that is conditions under which the movement of particles in the box could be considered as 2- and 1- dimensional, were derived.

The motives of the Croatian-Canadian pro-Communist returnees of 1947-48
Creators: name: Mracevich, Milovan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: During 1947 and 1948, over a thousand Croatian-Canadians went to Yugoslavia as part of a larger return movement that was organized by the Yugoslav-Canadian pro-Communist umbrella organization, the Council of Canadian South Slavs. The returnees were strongly encouraged to return by the Council and by its related Croatian-Canadian pro-Communist organization and newspaper, and left Canada aboard the Yugoslav vessel Radnik in a series of voyages. Many of the returnees had been in Canada for some twenty years, and quit jobs, sold houses and business assets, and uprooted their families in order to return. This thesis places the Croatian-Canadian pro-Communist return movement within the context of return migration from North America by examining to what extent the returnees' decision to go back to Yugoslavia is explainable in terms of circumstances specific to themselves, and to what extent it reveals forces that were felt by other ethnic groups of the period. This study draws mainly upon interviews with participants in the return movement and upon the Croatian-Canadian pro-Communist newspaper Novosti in concluding that the returnees were motivated by a powerful and complex combination of forces: "traditional" return migration pressures; radicalizing and anti-assimilationist influences that were typical during the 1930s among the followers of the ethnic pro-Communist movement in Canada; Yugoslav wartime and postwar conditions that encouraged and allowed the returnees to go back; and a highly-organized and skillfully-propagandized return movement that both capitalized upon and created a desire for return among the Croatian-Canadian pro-Communists.

description: We report the observation of quantum oscillations in the underdoped cuprate superconductor YBa2Cu4O8 using a tunnel-diode oscillator technique in pulsed magnetic fields up to 85T. There is a clear signal, periodic in inverse field, with frequency 660+/-15T and possible evidence for the presence of two components of slightly different frequency. The quasiparticle mass is m*=3.0+/-0.3m_e. In conjunction with the results of Doiron-Leyraud et al. for YBa2Cu3O6.5, the present measurements suggest that Fermi surface pockets are a general feature of underdoped copper oxide planes and provide information about the doping dependence of the Fermi surface.

Microscopic Calculation of Spin Torques in Textured Antiferromagnets

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: A microscopic calculation is presented for the spin-transfer torques (STT) and damping torques in metallic antiferromagnets (AF). It is found that the sign of the STT is opposite to that in ferromagnets because of the AF transport character, and the current-to-STT conversion factor is enhanced near the AF gap edge. The dissipative torque parameter $β_n$ and the damping parameter $α_n$ for the Néel vector arise from spin relaxation of electrons. Physical consequences are demonstrated for the AF domain wall motion using collective coordinates, and some similarities to the ferromagnetic case are pointed out such as intrinsic pinning and the specialty of $α_n = β_n$. A recent experiment on a ferrimagnetic GdFeCo near its angular-momentum compensation temperature is discussed.

description: Squeezing of a thermal bath introduces new features absent in an open quantum system interacting with an uncorrelated (zero squeezing) thermal bath. The resulting dynamics, governed by a Lindblad-type evolution, extends the concept of a generalized amplitude damping channel, which corresponds to a dissipative interaction with a purely thermal bath. Here we present the Kraus representation of this map, which we call the squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel. As an application of this channel to quantum information, we study the classical capacity of this channel.

description: In this talk, we present the results from our recent global reanalysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs), where the DGLAP-evolving nPDFs are constrained by nuclear hard process data from deep inelastic $l+A$ scattering (DIS) and the Drell-Yan (DY) process in $p+A$ collisions, and by sum rules. The main improvements over our earlier work {\em EKS98} are the automated $χ^2$ minimization, better controllable fit functions and possibility for error estimates. The obtained 16-parameter fit to N=514 datapoints is good, $χ^2/{\rm d.o.f}=0.82$. Fit quality comparison and the error estimates obtained show that the old {\em EKS98} parametrization is fully consistent with the present automated reanalysis. Comparison with other global nPDF analyses is presented as well. Within the DGLAP framework we also discuss the possibility of incorporating a clearly stronger gluon shadowing, which is suggested by the RHIC BRAHMS data from d+Au collisions.

description: Ein Fahrzeug generiert Daten, welche Zustand und Verhalten von Fahrer
und Fahrzeug beschreiben. Das Sammeln der Informationen gibt dem Automobilhersteller
die Möglichkeit, diese als Big Data zu verwenden und neuen
Wert zu schöpfen. Beispielsweise schafft die Beobachtung während des gesamten
Lebenszyklus die Grundlage für eine Produktoptimierung, oder aber
das Marketing kann zielgerichtet auf die individuellen Wünsche des Kunden
eingehen.
Herausforderungen hierbei liegen darin, einen Wert aus den Daten zu schöpfen
und die Übertragung von Fahrzeug zu Backend reduzieren. Ein Oberklassefahrzeug
generiert im Jahr 2017 2,1 MByte je Sekunde. Für die Übertragung
der Datenmenge, die eine Flotte mit Millionen von Fahrzeugen
erzeugt, ergeben sich daher Schwierigkeiten. Aufgrund der Übertragungskosten,
der Datenschutzgrundverordnung und der Limitierung in der Datenübertragung
ist bereits im Fahrzeug eine Selektion relevanter Informationen
notwendig.
Der Ansatz der one-class Klassifizierung lernt anhand normaler Flottendaten,
was normal ist und kann somit Abweichungen vom Normalzustand
erkennen. Durch die Übertragung des trainierten Modells in die Fahrzeuge
werden dort unmittelbar anormale Ereignisse erkannt, womit der Datentransfer
zum Backend auf das Wesentliche, die außergewöhnlichen Vorkommnisse,
reduziert wird. Durch eine stetige Aktualisierung des Modells
entsteht eine dynamische Datensammlung, welche sicherstellt, dass im Backend
noch fehlende Ereignisse übermittelt werden.
Der Vergleich unterschiedlicher Ansätze verdeutlicht, dass insbesondere das
Replikator Neuronale Netz die Anforderungen erfüllt. Außerdem ist es in
der Lage, einen Großteil real geschehener Anomalien zu erkennen, während
kein normales Event fälschlicherweise als anormal eingestuft wird. Das
Ziel der Datenreduktion um das Hundertfache führt zur tatsächlichen Einschränkung
auf 0,715%. Die bedeutsamsten Ereignisse, wie Unfälle oder
ABS-Eingriffe, sind klar erkennbar, doch eine durchschnittliche Area under
curve von 0,8 legt dar, dass das Vorgehen kein Alarmsystem liefert. Es dient
der Reduktion der Datenmenge, die ins Backend übertragen wird, wo weiteres
Postprocessing erfolgen muss. Dieses besteht aus der Interpretation und
der Einordnung von erkannten Ereignissen.

description: The experimental realization of multidimensional quantum states may lead to unexplored and interesting physics, as well as advanced quantum communication protocols. The orbital angular momentum of photons is a well suitable discrete degree of freedom for implementing high-dimensional quantum systems. The standard method to generate and manipulate such photon modes is to use bulk and fixed optics. Here the authors demonstrate the utilization of a spatial light modulator to manipulate the orbital angular momentum of entangled photons generated in spontaneous parametric downconversion. They show that their setup allows them to realize photonic entanglement of up to 21 dimensions, which in principle can be extended to even larger dimensions.

description: Replacing a fossil fuel-powered car with an electric model can halve greenhouse gas emissions over the course of the vehicle's lifetime and reduce the noise pollution in urban areas. In green logistics, a well-scheduled charging ensures an efficient operation of transportation and power systems and, at the same time, provides economical and satisfactory charging services for drivers. This paper presents a taxonomy of current electric vehicle charging scheduling problems in green logistics by analyzing its unique features with some typical use cases, such as space assignment, routing and energy management; discusses the challenges, i.e., the information availability and stakeholders' strategic behaviors that arise in stochastic and decentralized environments; and classifies the existing approaches, as centralized, distributed and decentralized ones, that apply to these challenges. Moreover, we discuss research opportunities in applying market-based mechanisms, which shall be coordinated with stochastic optimization and machine learning, to the decentralized, dynamic and data-driven charging scheduling problems for the management of the future green logistics.

description: Single-electron transistors attached to ferromagnetic leads can undergo a continuous quantum phase transition as their gate voltage is tuned. The corresponding quantum critical point separates a Fermi liquid phase from a non-Fermi liquid one. Here, we expound on the physical idea proposed earlier. The key physics is the critical destruction of the Kondo effect, which underlies a new class of quantum criticality that has been argued to apply to heavy fermion metals. Its manifestation in the transport properties is studied through an effective Bose-Fermi Kondo model; the bosonic bath, corresponding to the spin waves of the ferromagnetic leads, describes a particular type of sub-Ohmic dissipation. We also present results for general forms of sub-Ohmic dissipative bath, and consider in some detail the case with critical paramagons replacing spin waves. Finally, we discuss some delicate aspects in the theoretical treatment of the effect of a local magnetic field, particularly in connection with the frequently employed Non-Crossing Approximation.

description: Using the instanton representation method, we re-construct graviton solutions about DeSitter spacetime. We have used this example as a testing arena to expose the internal structure of the method and to establish that it works for known solutions.

description: With an aim towards understanding the time-dependence of entanglement entropy in generic quantum field theories, we propose a covariant generalization of the holographic entanglement entropy proposal of hep-th/0603001. Apart from providing several examples of possible covariant generalizations, we study a particular construction based on light-sheets, motivated in similar spirit to the covariant entropy bound underlying the holographic principle. In particular, we argue that the entanglement entropy associated with a specified region on the boundary in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence is given by the area of a co-dimension two bulk surface with vanishing expansions of null geodesics. We demonstrate our construction with several examples to illustrate its reduction to the holographic entanglement entropy proposal in static spacetimes. We further show how this proposal may be used to understand the time evolution of entanglement entropy in a time varying QFT state dual to a collapsing black hole background. Finally, we use our proposal to argue that the Euclidean wormhole geometries with multiple boundaries should be regarded as states in a non-interacting but entangled set of QFTs, one associated to each boundary.

description: This policy brief examines the potential of Malawi’s poultry value chain to drive economic growth and contribute to the goals outlined in the Malawi 2063 development blueprint. Despite its relatively high per capita chicken consumption compared to neighboring countries, the poultry industry in Malawi faces significant challenges, primarily high feed costs due to elevated maize and soybean prices. This makes poultry products less affordable for consumers and constrains production growth. Using the Policy and Investment Prioritization through Value Chain Analysis (PPVC) approach, the study finds that targeted reforms could unlock substantial benefits across the value chain. Key among these reforms is reducing feed costs by removing the value-added tax on soybean cake and veterinary products, expanding maize production, and improving export processes, particularly into neighbouring Mozambique. Irrigation expansion and removing minimum farmgate prices for maize are also highlighted as critical interventions to ensure stable maize supply, reduce price volatility, and lower feed costs. Implementing these reforms could add $31.5 million to Malawi’s GDP by 2030, improve affordability for consumers, and increase poultry production by 48,000 tonnes. The proposed changes would not only benefit the poultry industry but also create positive spillovers across interconnected sectors, including maize, soybean, and feed production. Additionally, these measures are projected to lift nearly 580,000 people out of poverty by promoting affordable protein access, increased employment, and enhanced food security. The policy brief concludes by emphasizing the importance of comprehensive reforms to unlock the full potential of the poultry value chain for Malawi’s economic development.

description: We gauge the direct product of the Proca with the Dirac equation that describes the coupling to the electromagnetic field of the spin-cascade (1/2,3/2) residing in the four-vector spinor and analyze propagation of its wave fronts in terms of the Courant-Hilbert criteria. We show that the differential equation under consideration is unconditionally hyperbolic and the propagation of its wave fronts unconditionally causal. In this way we proof that the irreducible spin-cascade embedded within four-vector is free from the Velo-Zwanziger problem that plagues the Rarita-Schwinger description of spin-3/2. The proof extends also to the direct product of two Proca equations and implies causal propagation of the spin-cascade (0,1,2) within an electromagnetic environment.

Familism Congruency and Mental Health Outcomes within Hispanic/Latinx Youth and their Parents in the ABCD
Creators: name: Diaz, Vanessa G

description: Introduction: Hispanic/Latinx youth make up 26% of US youth population and are at an increased risk for psychological distress and poor mental health outcomes (Census, 2020; Kann et al., 2016). Foreign nativity is found to be protective against psychological distress and mental health disorders, particularly substance use, while 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants have worse mental health outcomes than those who are foreign-born (Gonzales et al., 2012; Lommel & Chen, 2016). Yet, nativity has yielded inconsistent findings and is argued to be dependent on the age of arrival (Alegría et al., 2007). While nativity cannot be changed, understanding its implications is important. Familism, however, can be leveraged as a cultural value associated with better mental health outcomes (e.g., fewer internalizing symptoms and deviant behaviors; Piña-Watson et al., 2019; Germán et al., 2009). Familism emphasizes commitment to family and warm, close, and supportive relationships (Sabogal et al., 1987). However, misalignment of cultural values between youth and parents often causes stress and conflict, leading to more negative moods (Cervantes et al., 2016). In this study, we aim to 1) determine differences in mental health outcomes behaviors between US-Born and foreign-born Hispanic/Latinx youth, 2) determine differences in familism congruency between parent-youth dyads of US-Born and foreign-born Hispanic/Latinx youth, 3) determine the influence of youth familism on Hispanic/Latinx youth mental health outcomes, and 4) determine the impact of familism congruency on Hispanic/Latinx youth mental health outcomes.

Methods: The sample consisted of 1,956 Hispanic/Latinx identifying participants aged 10-13 years, recruited across 22 United States (US) sites from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study℠. Using parent-report Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and youth-report Brief Problem Monitor, we assess internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Familism is measured through the Mexican American Cultural Values Scale and congruency scores are calculated as the absolute difference between youth and parent. Analysis consisted of mixed-effect linear regression models to address our aims.

Discussion: This study replicates existing literature that highlights the cultural value of familism is important for the youth and should be leveraged. However, context matters. Increasing youth’s value in familial support, respect, and obligation to the family without an emphasis on household values can have the opposite effect and lead to worse outcomes, especially in Hispanic/Latinx female youth. These results show that it may be even more important for Hispanic/Latinx youth mental health outcomes for the parents to value familism, regardless of the youth’s individual value in familism.

description: We review the theoretical status of the lifetime ratios $τ_{B^+} / τ_{B_d}$, $τ_{B_s} / τ_{B_d}$, $τ_{Λ_b} / τ_{B_d}$ and $τ_{B_c}$ and of the mixing quantities $ΔM_s$, $ΔΓ_s$ and $ϕ_s$. $ΔM_s$ and $ΔΓ_s$ suffer from large uncertainties due to the badly known decay constants, while the ratio $ΔΓ_s / ΔM_s$ can be determined with almost no non-perturbative uncertainties, therefore it can be used perfectly to find possible new physics contributions in the mixing parameters. We suggest a very clear method of visualizing the bounds on new physics and demonstrate this by combining the latest experimental numbers on the mixing quantities quantities with theory - one already gets some hints for new physics contributions, but more precise experimental numbers are needed to draw some definite conclusions. We conclude with a ranking list of all the discussed quantities according to their current theoretical uncertainties and point out possible improvements.
