description: In this paper, the authors are addressing the issue of family – work balance, as well as the connection between this phenomenon and working from home. The basic, initial point is that the desired balance can be achieved if the employees are provided with more flexible work schemes, one of which is having the option to perform their work from home. According to the forecasts regarding the work place of the future, employees from almost all demographic, cultural and social groups decided that the trend of the life being reduced to work only, the motto „live to work“, is obsolete. The expression „live to work” implies the full commitment of individuals to their work, which they deem the „centre“ of their lives. Today, employees are not only employed in an organization, they have several roles which should be brought to a mutual balance. The expression „work - life balance“ which is the outline of this paper, means establishing a balance between the professional and private (family) life. There are more and more employees who do not want to feel the work pressure after work hours, especially those belonging to younger generations. The goal of this paper is to present the main future challenges of the managers worldwide, that is, motivation of employees. It is deemed that a person will stop self-sacrificing or investing their efforts just for money, but will be prepared to do so for other immaterial aspects (Gijic, Jovic, Reko, 2013). The basic methods used in this paper were analysis, synthesis and comparative method. The analysis and synthesis method, as the basic methodological means, is applied throughout the whole paper, while the comparative method is applied in order to compare the results obtained by the researchers up to this day.

description: The normal density of a translation-invariant superfluid often vanishes at zero temperature, as is observed in superfluid Helium and conventional superconductors described by BCS theory. Here we show that this need not be the case. We investigate the normal density in models of quantum critical superfluids using gauge-gravity duality. Models with an emergent infrared Lorentz symmetry lead to a vanishing normal density. On the other hand, models which break the isotropy between time and space may enjoy a non-vanishing normal density, depending on the spectrum of irrelevant deformations around the underlying quantum critical groundstate. Our results may shed light on recent measurements of the superfluid density and low energy spectral weight in superconducting overdoped cuprates.

description: Optical frequency combs (OFCs), consisting of a set of phase locked equally spaced laser frequency lines, have enabled a great leap in precision spectroscopy and metrology since seminal works of Hänsch et al. . Nowadays, OFCs are cornerstones of a wealth of further applications ranging from chemistry and biology to astrophysics and including molecular fingerprinting and LIDARs among others. Driven passive optical resonators constitute the ideal platform for OFCs generation in terms of compactness and low energy footprint. We propose here a new technique for generation of OFCs with tuneable repetition rate in externally driven optical resonators based on the gain-through-filtering process, a simple and elegant method, due to an asymmetric spectral filtering on one side of the pump wave. We demonstrate a proof-of-concept experimental result in a fibre resonator, pioneering a new technique that does not require specific engineering of the resonator dispersion to generate frequency agile OFCs.

description: Background: Biological agents are commonly used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). As new treatments, tofacitinib, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) have demonstrated efficacy in treating UC. This network meta-analysis aims to determine the efficacy and safety of biological agents, tofacitinib, and FMT. Methods: A network meta-analysis was conducted by systematically searching the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Libraries. According to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, we included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of biological agents, tofacitinib, and FMT in UC. A random-effect model was chosen by the network meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis. Heterogeneity test and publication bias test were performed to determine the efficacy of treatments. Results: Data were extracted from 16 RCTs and we found that all treatments were more effective than the placebos. A total of 21 comparisons were made to determine efficiency. We found that infliximab, vedolizumab, and FMT performed better curative effect in terms of absolute effects and relative ranks. Furthermore, there was no statistical difference in the efficacy of biological agents, tofacitinib, and FMT. Moreover, no treatments were found to increase the occurrence of adverse events when compared with placebos, except infliximab. However, vedolizumab seemed to reduce the occurrence of adverse events compared with infliximab. Conclusion: Of the biological agents, vedolizumab and infliximab were the most effective, suggesting that biological agents are still a better choice. Nevertheless, tofacitinib and FMT may be promising alternatives with high efficacies. However, more safety and maintenance studies need to be conducted in future for the acquisition of more accurate results.

On the dark energy clustering properties

description: We highlight a viable mechanism leading to the formation of dark energy structures on sub-horizon cosmological scales, starting from linear perturbations in scalar-tensor cosmologies. We show that the coupling of the dark energy scalar field, or Quintessence, to the Ricci scalar induces a "dragging" of its density perturbations through the general relativistic gravitational potentials. We discuss, in particular, how this process forces dark energy to behave as a pressureless component if the cosmic evolution is dominated by non-relativistic matter. This property is also analyzed in terms of the effective sound speed of the dark energy, which correspondingly approaches the behavior of the dominant cosmological component, being effectively vanishing after matter-radiation equality. To illustrate this effect, we consider Extended Quintessence scenarios involving a quadratic coupling between the field and the Ricci scalar. We show that Quintessence density perturbations reach non-linearity at scales and redshifts relevant for the structure formation process, respecting all the existing constraints on scalar-tensor theories of Gravity. This study opens new perspectives on the standard picture of structure formation in dark energy cosmologies, since the Quintessence field itself, if non-minimally coupled to Gravity, may undergo clustering processes, eventually forming density perturbations exiting from the linear regime. A non-linear approach is then required to further investigate the evolution of these structures, and in particular their role in the dark haloes surrounding galaxies and clusters.

description: The current status of early universe cosmology can be summarized as precision, but inherently limited, data requiring explanation from precision and robust theory. Specifically inflation is presently the single concrete hope for solving the early universe problem, since it is generically realizable in quantum field theory, but treatment of interactions needs considerable attention. This talk reviews the importance and progress in this direction.

description: Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is the most common symptomatic primary immunodeficiency. Certain gene loci are pointed out in several studies in CVID patients. Until now, monogenic defects have been identified in only 2-10% of CVID patients; therefore, association of the disease with HLA alleles may be important for elucidating immunological and genetic mechanisms behind CVID. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between CVID and HLA alleles. Methods: HLA class I/II alleles were analyzed in 65 patients with CVID and alleles that may be related to disease susceptibility were determined by comparing with 300 healthy controls. We also evaluated HLA allele frequencies in CVID patients with gastrointestial system (GIS) involvement and autoimmune manifestations. Results: When compared with controls, frequencies of B*27, B*35, C*04, and DRB1*04 alleles were significantly different in patients with CVID (p p

description: Background: Mutations in CACNA1F have been mainly associated with X-linked incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (icCSNB). Variable phenotypic expression in females was reported in some families. We report here three non-related Ashkenazi Jewish families originating in Eastern Europe, that included males and a many affected females, initially diagnosed with variable retinal phenotypes. Materials and Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing and microsatellite haplotyping were used for genetic analysis. Complete ophthalmologic examination was performed including visual acuity, refraction, colour vision, slit-lamp, fundoscopy and electroretinography (ERG). Results: We identified four affected males, showing moderate visual impairment, and seven female carriers, six of them presenting mild to moderate visual impairment. Infantile nystagmus was found in all affected males and in 5/7 females. Nyctalopia and myopia were common in both males and females. Initial clinical differential diagnosis included cone-dystrophy, cone-rod dystrophy, cone-dystrophy with supernormal rod response or CSNB based on ERG results. WES and Sanger sequencing revealed a previously described missense mutation c.2225T>G; p.(F742C) in CACNA1F (NM_001256789.2) in all three families, encompassed by a shared haplotype Conclusions: Our data suggests that p.(F742C) in CACNA1F is an X-linked founder mutation in Ashkenazi Jews originating in Eastern Europe. This mutation causes a mild-to-moderate icCSNB phenotype, expressed in most female carriers. A targeted test for this variant in suspected patients may initiate diagnostic analysis. Our results highlight the relevance of WES in the clinic, allowing fast and accurate diagnosis for unclear and variable clinical phenotype and in pedigrees with multiple possible inheritance patterns.

description: Finite-time Markovian channels, unlike their infinitesimal counterparts, do not form a convex set. As a particular instance of this observation, we consider the problem of mixing the three Pauli channels, conservatively assumed to be quantum dynamical semigroups, and fully characterize the resulting ``Pauli simplex.'' We show that neither the set of non-Markovian (completely positive indivisible) nor Markovian channels is convex in the Pauli simplex, and that the measure of non-Markovian channels is about 0.87. All channels in the Pauli simplex are P divisible. A potential application in the context of quantum resource theory is also discussed.

description: We study quantum fluctuations of macroscopic parameters of an NLS breathers, i.e., the second-order soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Uncertainty relations for the parameters are derived and compared to similar relations for fundamental solitons. We compare two models for the state of the quantum field of fluctuations surrounding the classical field of the Bose-Einstein condensate: a conventionally used, computationally convenient "white noise", and a correlated noise which assumes that the breather has been created from a fundamental soliton, by means of the application of the factor-of-four quench of the nonlinearity strength. Theoretical methods used in the work are well suited for a large number of particles, $N$. We thus confirm the possibility of experimental observation of macroscopic quantum fluctuations, which is suggested by an extrapolation to large $N$ of recently reported low-$N$ Bethe-ansatz results [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119 220401 (2017)].

description: The azithromycin is a semisynthetic derivative of erythromycin A, and commercially produced by a series of chemical reaction involved Beckmann rearrangement followed by reductive methylation. Several azithromycin related compounds (ARCs) have been identified as impurity in the commercial products and the processes. These ARCs probably generated from impure starting material; a mixture of different erythromycin. Literature search revealed that approximately 90 erythromycins had been isolated and characterized so far. In current study, we have identified many new ARCs, including previously reported by detailed LC-MS/MS studies. In this study, first, the structures of ARCs were assumed by probable chemical transformation method; erythromycin A to azithromycin A; and, second, assumed structures of ARCs were confirmed by HRMS within the acceptable ppm error limit (±5 ppm) followed by MS/MS fragmentation to identify the characteristic common ion fragments and by precursor ion scan.

description: We study adiabatic quantum pumps on time scales that are short relative to the cycle of the pump. In this regime the pump is characterized by the matrix of energy shift which we introduce as the dual to Wigner's time delay. The energy shift determines the charge transport, the dissipation, the noise and the entropy production. We prove a general lower bound on dissipation in a quantum channel and define optimal pumps as those that saturate the bound. We give a geometric characterization of optimal pumps and show that they are noiseless and transport integral charge in a cycle. Finally we discuss an example of an optimal pump related to the Hall effect.

description: Identifying and reducing uncertainties in future land use projections are becoming critical in integrated assessments of the climate and social change scenarios. Here, we quantified correspondence between remotely sensed land cover and a model-derived projection of European land use to build a calibration and evaluation framework for land use projection models. For an eight-year period (2006–2013), we compared simulated land uses from a model (CRAFTY-EU), defined as agent functional types, against remotely sensed MODIS land cover. Information between two datasets and spatial complexity are calculated, which allowed the evaluation of the CRAFTY model and calibration of the model parameters. The computational cost was high. Thus more efficient searching algorithms are called for. The evaluation framework holds promise for better calibration of land use decision models to increase model usability and improve the value of future land cover projections.

description: We study the mixing among different generations of massive neutrino fields in a $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_Y$ gauge theory which includes Majorana and Dirac mass terms in the Yukawa sector. Parity can be spontaneously broken at a scale $v_R\simeq 10^3-10^4$ GeV. We discuss about possible candidates for the Yukawa coupling matrices and we found that the model can accommodate a consistent pattern for neutral fermion masses as well as neutrino oscillations. The left and right sectors can be connected by a new neutral current.

Absence of small-world effects at the quantum level and stability of the quantum critical point

description: The small-world effect is a universal feature used to explain many different phenomena like percolation, diffusion, and consensus. Starting from any regular lattice of $N$ sites, the small-world effect can be attained by rewiring randomly an $\mathcal{O}(N)$ number of links or by superimposing an equivalent number of new links onto the system. In a classical system this procedure is known to change radically its critical point and behavior, the new system being always effectively mean-field. Here, we prove that at the quantum level the above scenario does not apply: when an $\mathcal{O}(N)$ number of new couplings are randomly superimposed onto a quantum Ising chain, its quantum critical point and behavior both remain unchanged. In other words, at zero temperature quantum fluctuations destroy any small-world effect. This exact result sheds new light on the significance of the quantum critical point as a thermodynamically stable feature of nature that has no analogous at the classical level and essentially prevents a naive application of network theory to quantum systems. The derivation is obtained by combining the quantum-classical mapping with a simple topological argument.

description: A three-dimensional polynomial algebra of order $m$ is defined by the commutation relations $[P_0, P_\pm]$ $=$ $\pm P_\pm$, $[P_+, P_-]$ $=$ $ϕ^{(m)}(P_0)$ where $ϕ^{(m)}(P_0)$ is an $m$-th order polynomial in $P_0$ with the coefficients being constants or central elements of the algebra. It is shown that two given mutually commuting polynomial algebras of orders $l$ and $m$ can be combined to give two distinct $(l+m+1)$-th order polynomial algebras. This procedure follows from a generalization of the well known Jordan-Schwinger method of construction of $su(2)$ and $su(1,1)$ algebras from two mutually commuting boson algebras.

description: GIST is an Action Research project aiming to improve girls' participation in scientific and technological studies at school when these become optional. The initial survey was conducted with 2065 first year children in ten co-educational comprehensive schools in Greater Manchester. Eight of these were action schools where interventions designed to change girls' attitudes and achievements were implemented; the other two were control schools. The initial survey was intended to assess children's attitudes to science and technical crafts, their backgrond knowledge in these subjects and their attitudes towards sex roles. The initial 11 year old cohort was followed up with a second survey in 1983, a survey of school records in 1985 and a postal questionnaire in 1987, when the cohort was 17 years of age.

In particular, solar is a prime candidate given its abundance and minimal environmental consequences through its use compared to fossil fuels. While intermittent sunlight can diminish the value of using photovoltaics for a full 24-hour day, it is possible to store that energy into what can be considered a “solar fuel”, with hydrogen being an ideal target. Similarly, the use of light energy can drive numerous reactions that are valuable to fields such as industrial synthesis, medicine, and sanitation, at a fraction of their current energy inputs.
This work reports on the design of new Ir(III) based photosensitizers that address concerns from previously established complex structures. Replacement of a labile
bipyridine with an electron rich terpyridine imparts greater stability and photocatalytic abilities in highly coordinating solvent environments, which are known to degrade
previously established photosensitizers. These complexes were assessed photophysically, electrochemically, computationally, as well as for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water. The photosensitizers were also used for photoredox catalysis, a burgeoning area of research that uses light energy to drive synthetic transformations.
In addition, this work reports on the switching of a terpyridine ligand to a bisquinolylpyridine for Ir(III) photosensitizers. This new ligand allows for improved
coordination ability to the Ir center, and imparts an enhancement to several properties when compared to the corresponding bipyridine analogue. The complexes see excited state lifetimes as high as 30 microseconds, which is notable for Ir(III) complexes given that there are no additional organic dye molecules tethered to the complexes, a common strategy employed to extend excited state lifetimes. The complexes were assessed as
photosensitizers not only for photocatalytic hydrogen generation and photoredox catalysis, but also for singlet oxygen generation, where a longer excited state lifetime is
advantageous. Finally, this work reports the synthesis of Fe(II), Zn(II) and Ru(II) based hemicaged complexes that utilize the more rigid phenanthroline ligand in place of the
traditional bipyridine. The ligand synthesis required adaptation for the phenanthroline moiety but also allowed for synthesis of a corresponding mesityl-capped hemicage as
well. The complexes were evaluated photophysically and electrochemically in order to determine the effects of hemicaging on the ground state and excited state properties when compared to the corresponding phenanthroline analogues.

description: LPS-responsive beige-like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency is a monogenic primary immunodeficiency characterized by a heterogeneous spectrum of clinical manifestations associated with immune dysregulation. In this study, we reported clinical, immunologic, and genetic evaluation of two Iranian patients from unrelated families, both suffering from recurrent respiratory tract infections, failure to thrive, interstitial lung disease, autoimmune cytopenia, and hypogammaglobulinemia. Pulmonary abscess in one patient and persistent enteropathy in another were also observed. Further investigations revealed causative mutations in the exon (c.2166_2766del) and intron (c.4730–3 T > G) of the LRBA gene. These results may provide further elucidation of the clinical phenotypes and responsible genetic factors of LRBA deficiency.

description: We derive the equations of motion for binary systems of compact bodies in the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation to general relativity. Results are given through 2PN order (order (v/c)^4 beyond Newtonian theory), and for gravitational radiation reaction effects at 2.5PN and 3.5PN orders. The method is based on a framework for direct integration of the relaxed Einstein equations (DIRE) developed earlier, in which the equations of motion through 3.5PN order can be expressed in terms of Poisson-like potentials that are generalizations of the instantaneous Newtonian gravitational potential, and in terms of multipole moments of the system and their time derivatives. All potentials are well defined and free of divergences associated with integrating quantities over all space. Using a model of the bodies as spherical, non-rotating fluid balls whose characteristic size s is small compared to the bodies' separation r, we develop a method for carefully extracting only terms that are independent of the parameter s, thereby ignoring tidal interactions, spin effects, and internal self-gravity effects. Through 2.5PN order, the resulting equations agree completely with those obtained by other methods; the new 3.5PN back-reaction results are shown to be consistent with the loss of energy and angular momentum via radiation to infinity.

description: The simplest case of a manifold with singularities is a manifold M with boundary, together with an identification of the boundary with a product M1 x P, where P is a fixed manifold. The associated singular space is obtained by collapsing P to a point. When P = Z/k or S^1, we show how to attach to such a space a noncommutative C*-algebra that captures the extra structure. We then use this C*-algebra to give a new proof of the Freed-Melrose Z/k-index theorem and a proof of an index theorem for manifolds with S^1 singularities. Our proofs apply to the real as well as to the complex case. Applications are given to the study of metrics of positive scalar curvature.

description: ACIAR has been funding research into giant clam mariculture since 1983/84. By the time this research terminates in 1991, ACIAR will have provided $3.2m in research funds. The benefits of this ACIAR-sponsored research are assessed from several different points of view applying diverse types of project appraisal. Market-related cost-benefit analysis (CBA) similar to that used by Davis, Oram and Ryan (1987) is applied to estimate benefit-cost ratios. A benefit-cost ratio of at least 4.8 on ACIAR's research expenditure is estimated, when a zero rate of discount is applied. But even when a positive rate of discount is applied, the benefit-cost ratio can be expected to exceed unity. Conway's agroecosystem approach to project appraisal is also applied. The development of giant clam mariculture is found to be meritorious in terms of sustainability, to have good stability properties and potentially favourable income distribution effects. The level of returns from giant clam mariculture are still uncertain but there are prospects of above normal returns, even though financial returns are not immediate. Thus the development seems to rate positively applying Conway's approach. This is also true for extended CBA and sustainability supplemented CBA. Evolutionary-type appraisal of the ACIAR-supported research is favourable in terms of the diversity of research approaches tried, the diversity of possible economic developments based on the mariculture, the scope for small scale production and the appropriateness of technologies developed. A range of benefits have been or can be expected from this project for Australia and for less developed countries, and these are listed. The; project will not only yield tangible direct contributions to economic production but indirect non-materialistic (non­consumptive) benefits, e.g. conservation benefits in terms of existence, option and b quest values. Conservation benefits are a major advantage of this project, but even without these it would be justified in economic terms.

description: The Transpacific trade in container between Northeast Asia and North America is one of the world’s highest volume arterial trade lanes. In comparison with Transpacific trade route, the Transatlantic trade route between Europe and North America is small and has been growing slow. Import container movement in these international trade lanes are the primary sources of United States container import activity. Container movements are heavily concentrated at a number of major gateways. The high concentration affects traffic and congestion at seaport as well as associated major transportation corridors. Concerns over potential long term congestion and large-ship draft restrictions have led shippers to seek alternatives. The all water routing through the Panama Canal to the East Coast is expected to grow to avoid potential congestion at West Coast. Canadian container ports are being developed and provide congestion free service and an interesting option for importers to reach U.S. markets. This paper analyzes the supply chain network with primary focus on import container to United States. An optimization model that integrates international trade and U.S. inland transport networks is developed. The supply chain channels include container import from Northeast Asia through the West Coast to U.S. inland markets of U.S. (defined by Business Economic Area), to East Coast of United States. via the Panama Canal, and European imports to U.S. markets through Gulf and East Coast. This study accounts for container imports to U.S. markets through existing and newly opened container ports in Canada. The model includes capacity restrictions at ports as well as capacities on the inland transport networks. The estimated container traffic flows are reflective of current traffic flows. Heavily concentrated corridors are indentified. Sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate impacts of congestion on capacity constraints. The optimization model presents a framework for capturing impacts on the supply chain network due to underlying cost structure changes and potential infrastructure constraints.
Highlights from the Pierre Auger Observatory (ICRC2019)

description: The Pierre Auger Observatory has collected data for more than 15 years, accumulating the world's largest exposure to ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). The energy spectrum of the UHECRs has been measured up to $10^{20.2}$ eV, and their mass composition has been studied exploiting both the fluorescence and surface detectors of the Observatory. The analysis of the UHECRs arrival directions allowed us to measure their large-scale anisotropies over more than three decades in energy. The searches for intermediate-scale anisotropies are being performed with an exposure now reaching approximately $100,000$ km$^2$sr yr. For the first time, the fluctuations in the number of muons in inclined air showers above $4 \times 10^{18}$ eV have been obtained, while more information in the energy range $10^{17.5}-10^{18.3}$ eV comes from the direct measure of muons with the underground scintillators of the Observatory. Moreover, we discuss the limits obtained on the fluxes of neutral particles and the results of the searches for UHE neutrinos from transient astrophysical sources. The new perspectives opened by the current results call for an upgrade of the Observatory, whose main aim is the collection of new information about the primary mass of the highest energy cosmic rays to understand the origin of the observed flux suppression. The progress of the upgrade of the Observatory, AugerPrime, is presented and discussed.

description: High Reliability Organizational (HRO) research suggest that some organizations and systems are that routinely conduct complex operations with little or no error share certain characteristics. A 76-year longitudinal case study of the evolution of error-intolerance of the FAA’s air traffic control services produced a set of specific structural and behavioral actions that, if implemented, promise to achieve high reliability and safe operations within transportation systems. A conceptual systems model has been constructed to demonstrate how legislative oversight, agency regulatory programs, and industry processes combine into a highly redundant and effective operational structure. A scale has been created for measuring and improving performance at the policy and agency levels of government and at operational transportation levels. It is proposed that adoption of this model will deliver quantifiable improvement in both service provision and safety of public and private transportation networks.
