description: Within the one-excitation context of two identical two-level atoms interacting with a common cavity, we examine the dynamics of all bipartite one-to-other entanglements between each qubit and the remaining part of the whole system. We find a new non-analytic "sudden" dynamical behavior of entanglement. Specifically, the sum of the three one-to-other entanglements of the system can be suddenly frozen at its maximal value or can be suddenly thawed from this value in a periodic manner. We calculate the onset timing of sudden freezing and sudden thawing under several different initial conditions. The phenomenon of permanent freezing for entanglement is also found. We also identify a non-trivial upper limit for the sum of three individual entanglements, which exposes the concept of entanglement sharing in a shrunken "volume". Further analyses about freezing and thawing processes reveal quantitative and qualitative laws of entanglement sharing.

description: The quantum-mechanical expression for the polarization of a crystalline solid does not bear any resemblance to the (trivial) expression for the dipole of a bounded crystallite; and in fact it has been proved via a conceptually different path. Here I show how to alternatively define the dipole of a bounded sample in a somewhat unconventional way; from such formula, the crystalline polarization formula -- as routinely implemented in electronic-structure codes -- follows almost seamlessly.

description: We present results of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for the soft core extended bosonic Hubbard model in one dimension exhibiting the presence of supersolid phases similar to those recently found in two dimensions. We find that in one and two dimensions, the insulator-supersolid transition has dynamic critical exponent z=2 whereas the first order insulator-superfluid transition in two dimensions is replaced by a continuous transition with z=1 in one dimension. We present evidence that this transition is in the Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class and discuss the mechanism behind this difference. The simultaneous presence of two types of quasi long range order results in two soliton-like dips in the excitation spectrum.

description: Recommender systems are nowadays a pervasive part of our online user experience, where they either serve as information filters or provide us with suggestions for additionally relevant content. These systems thereby influence which information is easily accessible to us and thus affect our decision-making processes though the automated selection and ranking of the presented content. Automated recommendations can therefore be seen as digital nudges, because they determine different aspects of the choice architecture for users. In this work, we examine the relationship between digital nudging and recommender systems, topics that so far were mostly investigated in isolation. Through a systematic literature search, we first identified 87 nudging mechanisms, which we categorize in a novel taxonomy. A subsequent analysis then shows that only a small part of these nudging mechanisms was previously investigated in the context of recommender systems. This indicates that there is a huge potential to develop future recommender systems that leverage the power of digital nudging in order to influence the decision-making of users. In this work, we therefore outline potential ways of integrating nudging mechanisms into recommender systems.

description: Animals that ingest toxins can become unpalatable and even toxic to predators and parasites through toxin sequestration. Because most animals rapidly eliminate toxins to survive their ingestion, it is unclear how populations transition from susceptibility and toxin elimination to tolerance and accumulation as chemical defence emerges. Studies of chemical defence have generally focused on species with active toxin sequestration and target-site insensitivity mutations or toxin-binding proteins that permit survival without necessitating toxin elimination. Here, we investigate whether animals that presumably rely on toxin elimination for survival can use ingested toxins for defense. We use the A4 and A3 Drosophila melanogaster fly strains from the Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource (DSPR), which respectively possess high and low metabolic nicotine resistance among DSPR fly lines. We find that ingesting nicotine increased A4 but not A3 fly survival against Leptopilina heterotoma wasp parasitism. Further, we find that despite possessing genetic variants that enhance toxin elimination, A4 flies accrued more nicotine than A3 individuals likely by consuming more medium. Our results suggest that enhanced toxin metabolism can allow greater toxin intake by offsetting the cost of toxin ingestion. Passive toxin accumulation that accompanies increased toxin intake may underlie the early origins of chemical defence.
Evolving turbulence and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters

description: We discuss, using simple analytical models and MHD simulations, the origin and parameters of turbulence and magnetic fields in galaxy clusters. Three physically distinct regimes can be identified in the evolution of cluster turbulence and magnetic fields. Firstly, the fluctuation dynamo will produce microgauss-strong, random magnetic fields during cluster formation and major mergers. Turbulent velocity of about 300 km/s can be maintained at scales 100-200 kpc. The magnetic field is intermittent, has a smaller scale of 20-30 kpc and average strength of 2 microgauss. Secondly, when major mergers end, turbulent speed and magnetic field undergo a power-law decay, decreasing in strength but increasing in scale by a factor of about two. Thirdly, smaller-mass subclusters and cluster galaxies produce turbulent wakes, with turbulent speeds and magnetic field strengths similar to those quoted above. The velocity scales are about 200 kpc and 10 kpc respectively, and the magnetic field scale is about 6 times smaller. Although these wakes may fill only a small fraction of the cluster volume, their area covering factor can be close to unity. So one can potentially reconcile observations that indicate the coexistence of turbulence with ordered filamentary gas structures, as in the Perseus cluster. Random Faraday rotation measure is estimated to be typically 100-200 rad/m^2, in agreement with observations. We predict detectable synchrotron polarization from cluster radio halos at wavelengths 3-6 cm, if observed at sufficiently high resolution (abridged).

description: Background: In a world of globalization, health care professionals need to be in contact with other cultures and health care systems. Exchange programs offer a great tool in connecting such different realities. This poster aims to exemplify how this is being achieved in our practice.

Conclusion: The team at Fânzeres Family Health Unit has participated in several exchange programs, both outgoing and incoming. These exchanges were deemed as invaluable opportunities to improve the team’s knowledge of foreign languages and cultures, to gain insight into different practice models and different organizational aspects of health care systems. From them we find inspiration for changes in our own health care system and practice. Those involved report broadened worldviews and reinforced cultural awareness, which are perceived as having a positive impact on their holistic approach to patients. These experiences have also expanded our international peer network envisioning future collaborations.

description: This thesis addresses the puzzle of how a development policy model of partnership works by examining the case of the Papua New Guinea Church Partnership Program (CPP), involving seven Papua New Guinea churches, their partner Australian faithbased NGOs, the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) and the National Government. By focusing on the effects on churches of engaging in a donor-funded program, the research adds to a particular strand in the anthropology of development literature concerned with how development interventions work, and to another in development studies concerned with the relationship between religion and development. This thesis uses a Foucauldian governmentality perspective to understand development and foreign aid as regimes of practice, shaped by a secular tradition that uses a language in which the policy model of partnership has become both normative and instrumental. It also understands Christianity as a regime of practice, shaped by a religious tradition that uses a particular language for talking about development. Employing the extended metaphor of the kundu or hour-glass drum, the thesis analyses processes of translation of the Christian and secular 'rhythms', or languages of development, being played by the partners. Key interlocutors carry out the work of translation in order to make their languages mutually intelligible. In so doing, they find themselves enacting a kundu relationship, which affirms their personal agency as partnership trustees. As partners with diverse interests are brought together to achieve CPP outcomes and their own organisational goals, being in a kundu relationship creates local translation spaces where the dynamic interaction of Christian and secular regimes of practice occur. These spaces present opportunities for manoeuvre on the part of the churches, and for the exercise of a productive form of power that simultaneously disciplines and empowers them in unanticipated ways. In this way, the thesis discerns continuities in the dialectical encounters between the global and the local in Papua New Guinea's missionary and colonial histories and the present-day development landscape. The conclusion is that Papua New Guinea churches are assuming organisational identities as agents of a form of development that is underpinned theologically and translated into the vernacular. The churches are framing their engagement with development as a means of fulfilling what John's Gospel calls 'life in all its fullness'.

We consider models with only two such invariants characterised by integers $p$ and $q$. These models depend on one dimensionless parameter $α$ leading to one-parameter families of regular solutions, obtainable by numerical solution of the corresponding boundary value problem. Much emphasis is put on an analytical understanding of the numerical results.

description: Powerful concentrations of mass media in the hands of Western countries are believed to shape a lasting picture of Islam and Muslims, most of it reflecting the interests of the society served by the media. However, the complexities and dynamics of global news reporting have weakened those arguments. This is because transnational news services, such as the BBC World News (BBCWN), CNN International (CNNI) and AI Jazeera English (AJE), are believed to represent competing paradigms and different approaches to news. In addition, through communications cross-traffic in today's global media, varieties of views and voices are thought to enter the frame and challenge the dominant common sense in the realm of public discourse. This study is an inquiry into a comparative analysis between BBCWN and AJE. BBCWN is selected to represent the mainstream Western group of global media traffic, and AJE is selected to represent the contra-flow category of global news media. The global event of the Iranian 2009 presidential election is chosen as a case study. The central question of the thesis investigates the differences and similarities in the discourses of both networks, and the factors that explain the differences and, indeed, the similarities. The news reporting of the 2009 presidential election by both networks is subjected to the qualitative method of discourse analysis. The results are then triangulated with interviews with the correspondents and editors of BBCWN and AJE. Drawing from the conceptual framework on the diversity and complexity of global media flows, and the understanding of television news as a construction of reality, this study assumes that the similarities in the BBCWN and AJE coverage are due to the practices of news-gathering; whereas the differences are explained by the nature of global competitiveness in the news marketplace and aspects of national affiliation. The results, however, show that all factors contribute to differences in the reporting of BBCWN and AJE. Although the initial reporting of the pre-election period shows convergence in the coverage of BBCWN and AJE, the findings mainly show that there was clear divergence in the reporting between both networks. The BBCWN coverage gave clear support to the opposition group discourse and was more critical of the Iranian authorities, while AJE portrayed a more balanced and detached reporting of the election. This study found that the national affiliation factor has the strongest influence in BBCWN reporting and the news-gathering factor is the most determining factor in AJE reporting.

description: Biologists have long been fascinated by the processes that give rise to phenotypic complexity of organisms, yet whether there exist geographical hotspots of phenotypic complexity remains poorly explored. Phenotypic complexity can be readily observed in ant colonies, which are superorganisms with morphologically differentiated queen and worker castes analogous to the germline and soma of multicellular organisms. Several ant species have evolved ‘worker polymorphism', where workers in a single colony show quantifiable differences in size and head-to-body scaling. Here, we use 256 754 occurrence points from 8990 ant species to investigate the geography of worker polymorphism. We show that arid regions of the world are the hotspots of superorganism complexity. Tropical savannahs and deserts, which are typically species-poor relative to tropical or even temperate forests, harbour the highest densities of polymorphic ants. We discuss the possible adaptive advantages that worker polymorphism provides in arid environments. Our work may provide a window into the environmental conditions that promote the emergence of highly complex phenotypes.

description: In the rapidly evolving world of genomic medicine, understandings of the significance of genomic information change with advances in research. For example, gene mutations may be reclassified from benign to harmful with important implications for risk management for cancer and heritable diseases. This can have significance for the treatment of individual patients, but the process of ‘recontacting’ them about their treatment is not systematically managed in the NHS or internationally at present. Moreover, recontacting gives rise to important ethical and legal issues associated with the management of genomic information about patients and families. This Policy Brief recommends that it is essential that the NHS develop policy for recontacting in clinical genetics. Such policy may be a standalone policy focused on recontacting, or it may be part of a policy addressing a broader set of ethical, legal and social questions.

description: We report on the high-redshift blazar identification of a new gamma-ray source, Swift J1656.3-3302, detected with the BAT imager onboard the Swift satellite and the IBIS instrument on the INTEGRAL satellite. Follow-up optical spectroscopy has allowed us to identify the counterpart as an R-band 19 mag source that shows broad Lyman-alpha, Si IV, He II, C IV, and C III] emission lines at redshift z = 2.40+-0.01. Spectral evolution is observed in X-rays when the INTEGRAL/IBIS data are compared to the Swift/BAT results, with the spectrum steepening when the source gets fainter. The 0.7-200 keV X-ray continuum, observed with Swift/XRT and INTEGRAL/IBIS, shows the power law shape typical of radio loud (broad emission line) active galactic nuclei (with a photon index around 1.6) and a hint of spectral curvature below 2 keV, possibly due to intrinsic absorption (N_H about 7e22 cm-2) local to the source. Alternatively, a slope change (of about 1 in terms of photon index) around 2.7 keV can describe the X-ray spectrum equally well. At this redshift, the observed 20-100 keV luminosity of the source is about 1e48 erg s-1 (assuming isotropic emission), making Swift J1656.3-3302 one of the most X-ray luminous blazars. This source is yet another example of a distant gamma-ray loud quasar discovered above 20 keV. It is also the farthest object, among the previously unidentified INTEGRAL sources, whose nature has been determined a posteriori through optical spectroscopy.

description: Health care systems are very different from one country to another. The referral of patients to specialists can be difficult due to geographical reasons or due to scarce density of surgical professionals. Therefore, intra-operative supervision of young surgeons by experienced colleagues/mentors might not always be possible.We present encouraging results of a remote mentorship concept, where in- presence mentoring was not possible and young surgeons were obliged to perform surgeries alone after receiving suggestions from an experienced mentor.Interactive 3D colored models and access to exhaustive data of similar cases from large case series of the ICUC database have proven to be advantageous.The results of 32 tibial plateau fractures treated by young surgeons with the described help of a remote mentor are encouraging.

description: Let C be a smooth closed curve of length 2 Pi in R^3, and let k(s) be its curvature, regarded as a function of arc length. We associate with this curve the one-dimensional Schrodinger operator H_C = -d^2/ds^2 + k^2 acting on the space of square integrable 2 Pi - periodic functions. A natural conjecture is that the lowest spectral value e(C) is bounded below by 1 for any C (this value is assumed when C is a circle). We study a family of curves {C} that includes the circle and for which e(C)=1 as well. We show that the curves in this family are local minimizers, i.e., e(C) can only increase under small perturbations leading away from the family. To our knowledge, the full conjecture remains open.

description: The conventional formulation of the non-adiabatic (Aharonov-Anandan) phase is based on the equivalence class $\{e^{iα(t)}ψ(t,\vec{x})\}$ which is not a symmetry of the Schrödinger equation. This equivalence class when understood as defining generalized rays in the Hilbert space is not generally consistent with the superposition principle in interference and polarization phenomena. The hidden local gauge symmetry, which arises from the arbitrariness of the choice of coordinates in the functional space, is then proposed as a basic gauge symmetry in the non-adiabatic phase. This re-formulation reproduces all the successful aspects of the non-adiabatic phase in a manner manifestly consistent with the conventional notion of rays and the superposition principle. The hidden local symmetry is thus identified as the natural origin of the gauge symmetry in both of the adiabatic and non-adiabatic phases in the absence of gauge fields, and it allows a unified treatment of all the geometric phases. The non-adiabatic phase may well be regarded as a special case of the adiabatic phase in this re-formulation, contrary to the customary understanding of the adiabatic phase as a special case of the non-adiabatic phase. Some explicit examples of geometric phases are discussed to illustrate this re-formulation.

Social rights : the implications of selective constitutionalisation
Creators: name: Daly, Gillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is concerned with those 'social' rights that relate to the provision of the basic necessities of life; that is the right to an adequate standard of living (including food, clothing and shelter), the right to health and the right to education. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural rights (ICESCR) recognises obligations pertaining to the progressive realisation of these rights, whilst leaving the method of implementation within domestic discretion. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms only accords domestic constitutional protection to civil rights, leaving the implementation of these social rights within government discretion. This study will examine what has, in the Canadian experience, proven to be the practical consequences of adopting such a policy of 'selective constitutionalisation,' that puts social rights by definition outside the ambit of legal enforcement. Firstly, it will examine the court's approach to cases that have, in the absence of constitutionalised social rights, attempted to indirectly invoke social rights by encouraging a positive social interpretation of the right to equality and the right to life, liberty and security of the person, and will illustrate that the courts have failed to interpret these rights so as to indirectly protect social rights. Secondly, it will consider the relationship between legal, political and social discourse, illustrating that, in light of the non- constitutionalised status of social rights, the values underlying these rights have been marginalised in political and social discourse, facilitating reforms that have restructured and eroded the welfare state, reducing the realisation of social rights within Canada. Thirdly, it will consider the practicability of adopting the alternative approach of according equal constitutional protection and justiciable status to social rights, through an examination of the theoretical literature and the approach taken to social rights under the Final Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996. It will illustrate that the philosophical arguments that have been utilised to support the nonconstitutionalised status of social rights are no longer sustainable and that the constitutional experience of South Africa provides evidence that a practical alternative to the position adopted in Canada exists.

description: One of the global challenges of today is to meet the food demands of the ever-increasing population. One approach to address this challenge is to breed new crop varieties that have, for example, improved tolerance to drought and/or resistance to pathogens. However, designing a breeding program is a laborious and time consuming effort which often lacks the capacity to generate new cultivars quickly in response to the required traits. Recent advances in biotechnology and genomics data science have the potential to accelerate and precise breeding programs greatly. As large-scale genomic data sets for crop species are available in multiple independent data sources and scientific literature, innovative technologies such as semantic web and literature mining are needed to address challenges in plant breeding.

Firstly, text mining approaches on plant science literature will enable identification of novel genomic regions, such as quantitative traits loci (QTLs), that positively/negatively affect the traits of interest. This information is often implicitly described and not available in structured resources, like databases. Thereby, text mining approaches can allow identification of potential genes of interest in different crop species, which probably would have been missed due to an exponential growth in scientific publications. Secondly, as semantic web technology enable integration of large data sets across heterogeneous data resources. This data model will forge data to be more insightful and meaningful.

Both approaches will be integrated in an analysis workflow which enables automated reasoning over the resulting linked data platform. For example, allows prediction of an optimal genotype with a set of defined traits for production in a given environment. Hence, this in-silico genomic assistance, helps researchers and breeders in the design of a precise and improved breeding program.

Although the primary scope of this research is plant breeding, the developed e-infrastructure is also applicable to animal breeding and/or genetics in general, where Big data have a great potential to uncover genotype-phenotype associations.

description: Dado que o contacto físico está associado à qualidade da vinculação e da relação mãe-filho(a), procurámos estudar a qualidade dessa interação em 26 bebés transportados junto ao peito das suas mães. Os bebés tinham entre 6 e 36 meses (13 meninas, 13 meninos) e não apresentavam problemas de desenvolvimento. A qualidade da interação mãe-filho(a) foi avaliada em jogo livre através da escala CARE-Index, os resultados da aplicação desta escala permitiram selecionar as díades com elevada qualidade (pontuação superior a 9) e díades de baixa qualidade (com menos de 6 pontos). Posteriormente, o comportamento diádico foi descrito em termos das respostas faciais, vocais, afetivas, diretivas, lúdicas e recíprocas das mães e dos bebés em díades de elevada/boa qualidade diádica versus de baixa qualidade. Nas díades de elevada qualidade, a interação é caraterizada pela participação, reciprocidade, afetividade positiva, partilha de prazer e envolvimento. Contudo, nas díades de baixa qualidade interativa verifica-se, sobretudo, a falta de envolvimento e participação, evidente no jogo isolado ou paralelo. Comparativamente a outros estudos nacionais, nesta amostra observam-se menos comportamentos abusivos, intrusivos ou negligentes. Tal seria de esperar, dado que se trata de um grupo de classe média com elevada literacia materna. Contudo, 6 em 26 díades tinham baixa qualidade interativa, o que indica que o mero transporte junto ao corpo por si só não é garante de uma relação afetiva positiva e recíproca.

Participatory Research with Children and Youth: Methods for Information Behavior Studies

Abstract
Studies in the field of information behavior increasingly aim to include the perspectives of participants and users, especially in the context of research with youth and children. Participatory research designs can serve as a guide for the inclusion of young people’s voices in information behavior research, as they help researchers to view participants as partners and experts in the research process. This workshop introduces a variety of participatory methods to enable researchers to apply them in an appropriate way in their own studies. Based on the expertise of the organizers, the ISIC 2022 workshop will focus on research with two specific groups of young participants: preschool-aged children and youth. In addition to providing knowledge about basic aspects of participatory research with young people, it will offer the opportunity to explore various creative participatory methods in a hands-on session. The workshop is aimed at researchers of all levels of experience. Prior experience with participatory research is not required, as basic knowledge will be provided. However, researchers with more experience are also welcome to attend the workshop and share their expertise.

description: We introduce a new standard form of a Seifert surface $F$. In that standard form, $F$ is obtained by successively plumbing flat annuli to a disk $D$, where the gluing regions are all in $D$. We show that any link has a Seifert surface in the standard form, and thereby present a new way of coding a link. We present an algorithm to read the code directly from a braid presentation.

Empirically determined Apery-like formulae for zeta(4n+3)

description: Some rapidly convergent formulae for special values of the Riemann zeta function are given. We obtain a generating function formula for zeta(4n+3) which generalizes Apery's series for zeta(3), and appears to give the best possible series relations of this type, at least for n<12. The formula reduces to a finite but apparently non-trivial combinatorial identity. The identity is equivalent to an interesting new integral evaluation for the central binomial coefficient. We outline a new technique for transforming and summing certain infinite series. We also derive a beautiful formula which provides strange evaluations of a large new class of non-terminating hypergeometric series. Our main results are shown to be equivalent. At the time this article was submitted for publication back in 1996, these results were only conjectures, but they have subsequently been proved as a result of work due to Gert Almkvist and Andrew Granville.

description: Program developers spend significant time on optimizing and tuning programs. During this iterative process, they apply optimizations, analyze the resulting code, and modify the compilation until they are satisfied. Understanding what the compiler did with the code is crucial to this process but is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Users need to navigate through thousands of lines of binary code and correlate it to source code concepts to understand the results of the compilation and to identify optimizations. We present a design study in collaboration with program developers and performance analysts. Our collaborators work with various artifacts related to the program such as binary code, source code, control flow graphs, and call graphs. Through interviews, feedback, and pair-analytics sessions, we analyzed their tasks and workflow. Based on this task analysis and through a human-centric design process, we designed a visual analytics system Compilation Navigator (CcNav) to aid exploration of the effects of compiler optimizations on the program. CcNav provides a streamlined workflow and a unified context that integrates disparate artifacts. CcNav supports consistent interactions across all the artifacts making it easy to correlate binary code with source code concepts. CcNav enables users to navigate and filter large binary code to identify and summarize optimizations such as inlining, vectorization, loop unrolling, and code hoisting. We evaluate CcNav through guided sessions and semi-structured interviews. We reflect on our design process, particularly the immersive elements, and on the transferability of design studies through our experience with a previous design study on program analysis.
