description: I review recent progress on the connection between string theory and quantum chromodynamics in the context of the gauge/gravity duality. Emphasis is placed on conciseness and conceptual aspects rather than on technical details. Topics covered include the large-Nc limit of gauge theories, the gravitational description of gauge theory thermodynamics and hydrodynamics, and confinement/deconfinement thermal phase transitions.

description: Aquatic sports keep rising in popularity. Kitesurfing is a high-risk sport that combines aspects of several water sports. The dangers of high-risk sports have been widely studied. Kitesurfing is a relatively new water sport, and the understanding of the injuries due to its practice has not yet been largely investigated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the most common types and causes of injuries among Portuguese kitesurfers. The data was collected using a retrospective 12 months web-based questionnaire. A total of n= 87 kitesurfers, mostly from the North, showed that 75.9% have a kitesurfing initiation course and 57.5% use protective equipment. A total of 60.9% has been injured in the 12 month’s period, being the knee and the lumbar spine the most common body injury. A reasonable number of injuries occurred while performing a landing or a maneuver, being 53.9% of the injuries reported as a new injury. This 12 month’s retrospective study supports earlier studies and provides basis knowledge about the incidence of Portuguese kitesurfers injuries. The data support the benefits of physical fitness (p< 0.05) in injuries prevention.

description: Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a epidemiologia de lesões musculoesqueléticas (LME) no futebol, relacionando-as com frequência de prática e nível de atividade física. A casuística integrou 126 participantes homens, praticantes regulares de futebol amador em diferentes centros poliesportivos de Campo Grande/MS. Os participantes foram distribuídos em quatro grupos, de acordo com a frequência semanal de prática de futebol: G1, um dia, G2, dois dias, G3, três dias, e G4, quatro ou mais dias de atividade, com duração de 10 a 60 minutos. Para a tomada de informações sobre o nível de atividade física e LME, foram utilizados, respectivamente, o questionário internacional de atividade física (IPAQ) e um inquérito de morbidade referida. Não se constatou uma associação entre prática de futebol e nível de atividade física; o G4 mostrou maiores valores de gasto metabólico. Foram registrados 96 LME, envolvendo 87 participantes (69%), totalizando 1,52 LME/ praticante. Constatou-se um predomínio de lesões musculares (36%) e articulares (34%) em membros inferiores. O trauma constituiu o principal mecanismo de lesão (28%), destacando-se como a maior causa no G3. Foi possível constatar que a frequência de prática de futebol não se associa diretamente com a ocorrência de LME entre jogadores amadores de futebol.

description: A Análise do jogo assume particular importância no processo de preparação das equipas de Voleibol. Neste sentido, pretende-se identificar as ações de jogo na resposta ao serviço no Voleibol (denominado por side-out ou KI: receção, distribuição e ataque). A amostra foi composta por 743 ações de receção, pertencentes a 5 jogos da final do Play-off do Campeonato Nacional sénior masculino 2012-2013. Foram analisados a eficácia da receção, o jogador interveniente na receção, o tipo de serviço e zona de receção. Nos procedimentos estatísticos recorreu-se à estatística descritiva e análise de regressão logística multinominal. Os resultados mostram que o jogador que fez mais receções foi o jogador de zona 4. As receções que ocorreram na zona central distante são aqueles que fornecem mais qualidade na organização ofensiva. Já em relação ao tipo de serviço: suspensão flutuante é o que permite uma maior percentagem de receções com melhor qualidade nas opções de ataque.

No processo de formação da equipa, para aumentar a eficácia das ações de jogo em side-out, deve ser considerada uma coordenação eficaz da 1ª linha de receção através do jogador prioritário estabelecendo rotinas de regularidade, na dupla função que tem durante o jogo, ou seja receber e atacar.

description: Nesta revisão foram analisados os estudos que apresentam resultados da resposta das hormonas consideradas de stresse, o cortisol e a testosterona, claramente associadas a um comportamento psicobiológico relacionado com a competição desportiva. Após uma pesquisa efetuada nas bases de dados ScienceDirect e Medline/Pubmed, foram selecionados sobre esta temática os estudos mais recentes realizados (>2002). A maioria dos estudos recorre a amostras reduzidas e maioritariamente sobre o sexo masculino. O efeito antecipatório à competição, caracterizado por um aumento da ansiedade, geralmente determina um aumento da concentração de ambas as hormonas, em especial um aumento da concentração de cortisol. Estas alterações na resposta hormonal surgem igualmente associadas ao resultado da competição, com concentrações de testosterona mais elevada nos vitoriosos do que nos perdedores, juntamente com estados psicológicos positivos associados à vitória e negativos associados à derrota. O sexo e o nível desportivo do atleta são igualmente considerados fatores diferenciadores do comportamento hormonal em contexto competitivo. Estudos futuros deverão esclarecer os efeitos a longo prazo nessa resposta hormonal em atletas de elite, considerando o treino intenso prévio e a participação regular em competições de elevado nível. Fica também por aprofundar o efeito que determinada resposta hormonal terá no desempenho desportivo sobretudo quando considerada ao longo de um determinado evento competitivo ou torneio.

description: We apply the BMHV scheme for non-anticommuting $γ_5$ to an abelian chiral gauge theory at the two-loop level. As our main result, we determine the full structure of symmetry-restoring counterterms up to the two-loop level. These counterterms turn out to have the same structure as at the one-loop level and a simple interpretation in terms of restoration of well-known Ward identities. In addition, we show that the ultraviolet divergences cannot be canceled completely by counterterms generated by field and parameter renormalization, and we determine needed UV divergent evanescent counterterms. The paper establishes the two-loop methodology based on the quantum action principle and direct computations of Slavnov-Taylor identity breakings. The same method will be applicable to nonabelian gauge theories.

Attitudes of social work students toward older persons
Creators: name: Kwan, Yui-Huen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Over the last decade, the percentage of elderly in the total population in Canada had shown a marked rate of increase which is expected to continue. Unquestionably, the need for more social workers working directly or indirectly with older persons is obvious. So studies of the attitudes of helping professionals in service delivery to older people are increasingly important. The present study aims at improving our understanding of attitudes toward old people, and in helping to identify variables that might be related to these attitudes. The setting for the study is the School of Social Work, University of British Columbia. The universe for the study consisted of all the full-time and part-time students enrolled in the School during the 1981-1982 academic year. Data were collected by means of a structured self-administered questionnaire. The attitude measurements used in this study included Palmore's Facts on Aging Quiz (FAQ), Kogan's Attitudes toward Old People Scale (OP), and author's Willingness to Help Aged Relatives Scale (WHAR). The analysis of data in this study was divided into four parts—validity and reliability, univariate analysis, bivariate analysis, and multivariate analysis. The findings suggested that the three measures of attitudes toward older persons used in this study seemed to assess different aspects of attitudes toward aging. The FAQ is essentially useless as an indirect measure to assess the 'aged-bias' of social work students toward older persons. The past experiences of social work students with older persons were related to their attitudes toward older persons, but different variables contributed to each of the three attitudinal measurements used. Among the variables, age and work with aged before have more predictive power in social work students' attitudes toward older persons. Both FAQ and OP scales are multidimensional in nature instead of uni-dimensional. The findings of the study are considered to have important implications for the development of curriculum policy and training program for social work students. And a proposal for modifying attitudes is suggested by the author.

description: The most discussed of ``live'' metaphors in physical sciences is that of the Schrödinger cat. Introduced in the early, but mature days of the new quantum theory, in 1935, the parable of the cat has provoked and enlivened debates on the meaning of the quantum theory, on the ontology of the quantum wavefunction, on the puzzle of the collapse of the wavefunction, on the meaning of quantum measurement, and on the boundary between the quantum world and the classical world. In this article, I will discuss these issues of the quantum theory focussing on various aspects of the metaphor of the Schrödinger cat.

description: A literatura aponta que o estresse do ambiente aliado ao estresse do exercício físico produz alterações psicológicas e fisiológicas. Portanto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi investigar a associação entre o efeito agudo do exercício físico moderado realizado em condição de atitude simulada sobre o estado de humor, saturação da oxihemoglobina e pressão arterial de jovens saudáveis. Dez voluntários realizaram 45 min. de exercício físico e passaram por duas condições: Condição Normóxia (CN) e Condição Hipóxia (CH). Em ambas as condições eles responderam a dois instrumentos que avaliam as respostas de humor, a Escala de Humor de Brunel (BRUMS) e a Escala Subjetiva de Experiência em Exercício (SEES), bem como a avaliação da saturação de oxihemoglobina e da pressão arterial. Esses procedimentos foram realizados antes, imediatamente após, 30 min. e 60 min. após o término do protocolo. Após a prática do exercício físico na Condição Hipóxia, os voluntários apresentaram maiores escores de Fadiga, Confusão Mental, DTH, Raiva, Distresse Psicológico e menores valores de Vigor e Bem-Estar Positivo acompanhados de uma diminuição da saturação da oxihemoglobina. O exercício físico moderado realizado em altitude simulada de 4500m promove mudanças no estado de humor e aumento da pressão arterial sistólica de jovens saudáveis.

description: What makes speeches effective has long been a subject for debate, and until today there is broad controversy among public speaking experts about what factors make a speech effective as well as the roles of these factors in speeches. Moreover, there is a lack of quantitative analysis methods to help understand effective speaking strategies. In this paper, we propose E-ffective, a visual analytic system allowing speaking experts and novices to analyze both the role of speech factors and their contribution in effective speeches. From interviews with domain experts and investigating existing literature, we identified important factors to consider in inspirational speeches. We obtained the generated factors from multi-modal data that were then related to effectiveness data. Our system supports rapid understanding of critical factors in inspirational speeches, including the influence of emotions by means of novel visualization methods and interaction. Two novel visualizations include E-spiral (that shows the emotional shifts in speeches in a visually compact way) and E-script (that connects speech content with key speech delivery information). In our evaluation we studied the influence of our system on experts' domain knowledge about speech factors. We further studied the usability of the system by speaking novices and experts on assisting analysis of inspirational speech effectiveness.

description: In 2011-2012, the Spanish Soccer Federation changed the format of junior championship matches played between regional-level teams in Spain from a 7-a-side to an 8-a-side format. Soon afterwards, the regional federations followed in their footsteps by adapting their competition formats accordingly. Taking the use of space as a functional indicator of the quality of play in U-10 soccer, the present study examines the relative suitability of the 7-a-side and 8-a-side formats for developing the skills of young players. Of 9 hypothesis contrasts relating to the zone in which a move initiated in the attacking team’s goal area ended, only one was significant (p < .05) in the standard analysis, even though the contingency tables suggested there were genuine differences between the two formats studied. Consequently, the statistical software program GPower was used to determine the minimum sample size necessary to detect significant differences for four levels of statistical power: 95%, 90%, 85%, and 80%. Given the difficulty of organizing a new round of data collection, we simulated an increase in sample size while maintaining the characteristics of the original data (frequencies, variability, and distribution). The results obtained through the original sampling were then compared with those from the simulation.

description: Este estudo analisa a importância dos processos de avaliação cognitiva na experiência de ansiedade e de burnout bem como a importância da avaliação cognitiva e da ansiedade na predição do burnout. Participaram nesta investigação 711 atletas (89 do sexo feminino e 622 do sexo masculino), com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 19 anos (M = 14.77; DP = 1.86). Os participantes responderam a um protocolo de avaliação composto por três instrumentos, além de um questionário demográfico: Escala de Ansiedade no Desporto-2; Escala de Avaliação Cognitiva e Questionário de Burnout para Atletas. Os resultados demonstraram que a avaliação cognitiva primária desempenha um papel fundamental na experiência de ansiedade e de burnout, dado que a perceção de ameaça correspondeu a maiores níveis de ansiedade e burnout e a perceção de desafio correspondeu a menores níveis nestas variáveis. Além disso, verificou-se que as dimensões da avaliação cognitiva primária, em conjunto com as dimensões da ansiedade, foram variáveis preditoras do burnout. Em suma, os resultados evidenciaram a importância da avaliação cognitiva no estudo dos estados emocionais dos atletas, sugerindo a continuação de investigações futuras neste domínio.

description: Pseudo-differential and Fourier series operators on the n-torus are analyzed by using global representations by Fourier series instead of local representations in coordinate charts. Toroidal symbols are investigated and the correspondence between toroidal and Euclidean symbols of pseudo-differential operators is established. Periodization of operators and hyperbolic partial differential equations is discussed. Fourier series operators, which are analogues of Fourier integral operators on the torus, are introduced, and formulae for their compositions with pseudo-differential operators are derived. It is shown that pseudo-differential and Fourier series operators are bounded on $L^2$ under certain conditions on their phases and amplitudes.

description: We have studied the nature of the surface charge distribution in CeTe3. This is a simple, cleavable, layered material with a robust one-dimensional incommensurate charge density wave (CDW). Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been applied on the exposed surface of a cleaved single crystal. At 77 K, the STM images show both the atomic lattice of surface Te atoms arranged in a square net and the CDW modulations oriented at 45 degrees with respect to the Te net. Fourier transform of the STM data shows Te square lattice peaks, and peaks related to the CDW oriented at 45 degrees to the lattice peaks. In addition, clear peaks are present, consistent with subsurface structure and wave vector mixing effects. These data are supported by electronic structure calculations, which show that the subsurface signal most likely arises from a lattice of Ce atoms situated 2.53 angstroms below the surface Te net.

description: The ‘First short report of cluster events’ is Deliverable 2.2 (D2.2) from the EU-funded project European Citizen Science. This deliverable is part of WP2 entitled ‘Strengthening links and collaboration’, which has the overall objective to strengthen and expand the citizen science community. 

More specifically, this deliverable is part of Task 2.5 ‘Strengthening collaboration through harnessing resources and outputs from EU, national and regional CS initiatives’ and focuses on one of the activities of T2.5, which is to organise yearly online cluster events involving projects, networks and European Commission representatives to engage in discussions centred around a unifying theme in the field of CS.

The purpose of this document is to highlight the key insights gathered from the first annual cluster event, which took place online on July 3rd, 2023. The event, titled “Foster the Higher Education Sector in Europe: The role of citizen science in transforming universities”, attracted approximately 108 attendees across Europe. Key points for maximising the potential of CS in higher education included raising researchers' awareness of CS, encouraging peer learning, promoting multi-level collaborations, and integrating CS early in education. There was a strong call for supporting early-career researchers, re-evaluating how their contributions to CS are recognised, and developing strategies to drive citizen engagement in CS activities supported by structures within universities. The significance of engaging a broader range of stakeholders, especially those from the university's local ecosystems, was also emphasised.

The document is presented in the following order: Section 1 introduces the rationale and the objectives of the cluster event. Section 2 elaborates on eight key takeaways of the cluster event drawn from the experiences of the participating projects and initiatives, and three group activities. Finally, section 3 gathers some concluding remarks and next steps. The annexes include a detailed agenda of the event, details of the projects presented along with the biographies of the speakers, details about the profile of the attendees and a selection of visual output resulting from the activities carried out throughout the event.

Fluctuations of finite-time stability exponents in the standard map and the detection of small islands

description: Some statistical properties of finite-time stability exponents in the standard map can be estimated analytically. The mean exponent averaged over the entire phase space behaves quite differently from all the other cumulants. Whereas the mean carries information about the strength of the interaction, and only indirect information about dynamical correlations, the higher cumulants carry information about dynamical correlations and essentially no information about the interaction strength. In particular, the variance and higher cumulants of the exponent are very sensitive to dynamical correlations and easily detect the presence of very small islands of regular motion via their anomalous time-scalings. The average of the stability matrix' inverse trace is even more sensitive to the presence of small islands and has a seemingly fractal behavior in the standard map parameter. The usual accelerator modes and the small islands created through double saddle node bifurcations, which come halfway between the positions in interaction strength of the usual accelerator modes, are clearly visible in the variance, whose time scaling is capable of detecting the presence of islands as small as 0.01% of the phase space. We study these quantities with a local approximation to the trace of the stability matrix which significantly simplifies the numerical calculations as well as allows for generalization of these methods to higher dimensions. We also discuss the nature of this local approximation in some detail.

description: We develop a theoretical model to study the Intensity-Intensity correlation of polarization entangled photons emitted in a biexciton-exciton cascade. We calculate the degree of correlation and show how polarization correlation are affected by the presence of dephasing and energy level splitting of the excitonic states. Our theoretical calculations are in agreement with the recent observation of polarization dependent Intensity-Intensity correlations from a single semiconductor quantum dot [R. M. Stevenson et. al., Nature 439, 179 (2006)] . Our model can be extended to study polarization entangled photon emission in coupled quantum dot systems.

description: Closed-loop or feedback control ratchets use information about the state of the system to operate with the aim of maximizing the performance of the system. In this paper we investigate the effects of a time delay in the feedback for a protocol that performs an instantaneous maximization of the center-of-mass velocity. For the one and the few particle cases the flux decreases with increasing delay, as an effect of the decorrelation of the present state of the system with the information that the controller uses, but the delayed closed-loop protocol succeeds to perform better than its open-loop counterpart provided the delays are smaller than the characteristic times of the Brownian ratchet. For the many particle case, we also show that for small delays the center-of-mass velocity decreases for increasing delays. However, for large delays we find the surprising result that the presence of the delay can improve the performance of the nondelayed feedback ratchet and the flux can attain the maximum value obtained with the optimal periodic protocol. This phenomenon is the result of the emergence of a dynamical regime where the presence of the delayed feedback stabilizes one quasiperiodic solution or several (multistability), which resemble the solutions obtained in the so-called threshold protocol. Our analytical and numerical results point towards the feasibility of an experimental implementation of a feedback controlled ratchet that performs equal or better than its optimal open-loop version.

description: In this paper, we translate the glosses in the English WordNet based on the expand approach for improving and generating wordnets with the help of multilingual neural machine translation. Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has recently been applied to many tasks in natural language processing, leading to state-of-the-art performance. However, the performance of NMT often suffers from low resource scenarios where large corpora cannot be obtained. Using training data from closely related language have proven to be invaluable for improving performance. In this paper, we describe how we trained multilingual NMT from closely related language utilizing phonetic transcription for Dravidian languages. We report the evaluation result of the generated wordnets sense in terms of precision. By comparing to the recently proposed approach, we show improvement in terms of precision

description: The deep learning approach to detecting malicious software (malware) is promising but has yet to tackle the problem of dataset shift, namely that the joint distribution of examples and their labels associated with the test set is different from that of the training set. This problem causes the degradation of deep learning models without users' notice. In order to alleviate the problem, one approach is to let a classifier not only predict the label on a given example but also present its uncertainty (or confidence) on the predicted label, whereby a defender can decide whether to use the predicted label or not. While intuitive and clearly important, the capabilities and limitations of this approach have not been well understood. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study to evaluate the quality of predictive uncertainties of malware detectors. Specifically, we re-design and build 24 Android malware detectors (by transforming four off-the-shelf detectors with six calibration methods) and quantify their uncertainties with nine metrics, including three metrics dealing with data imbalance. Our main findings are: (i) predictive uncertainty indeed helps achieve reliable malware detection in the presence of dataset shift, but cannot cope with adversarial evasion attacks; (ii) approximate Bayesian methods are promising to calibrate and generalize malware detectors to deal with dataset shift, but cannot cope with adversarial evasion attacks; (iii) adversarial evasion attacks can render calibration methods useless, and it is an open problem to quantify the uncertainty associated with the predicted labels of adversarial examples (i.e., it is not effective to use predictive uncertainty to detect adversarial examples).

Lynds Bright Nebulae: Sites of possible twisted filaments and ongoing star formation

description: The paper presents an analysis of multi-wavelength data of two Lynds Bright Nebulae (LBN), LBN 140.07+01.64 and LBN 140.77$-$1.42. The 1420 MHz continuum map reveals an extended Y-shaped feature (linear extent ~3.7 deg), which consists of a linear part and a V-like structure. The sites LBN 140.07+01.64 and AFGL 437 are located toward the opposite sides of the V-like structure, and LBN 140.77$-$1.42 is spatially seen toward the linear part. Infrared-excess sources are traced toward the entire Y-feature, suggesting star formation activities. Infrared and sub-millimeter images show the presence of at least two large-scale dust filaments extended toward the LBN sources. The Herschel maps, which are available only toward the northern and central parts of the Y-feature, display the presence of higher column density (> 2.4 X 10^{21} cm^{-2}) of materials toward the filaments. Using the 12CO(1-0) line data, the distribution of molecular gas at [-42.7, -34.4] km/s traces the cloud associated with the Y-feature, and confirms the existence of filaments. The large-scale filaments appear to be possibly spatially twisted. There is a hint of an oscillatory-like velocity pattern along both the filaments, favouring their proposed twisted nature. It is the first study showing the possible twisting of filaments, which is more prominent in the northern and central parts of the Y-feature. This possible twisting/coupling of the large-scale filaments appears to be responsible for the observed star formation (including known OB-stars). The proposed physical process and the energetics of OB-stars together seem to explain the origin of the ionized Y-feature.

description: The Jarlskog Invariant $J_{ν-map}$ of the neutrino mapping matrix is calculated based on a phenomenological model which relates the smallness of light lepton masses $m_e$ and $m_1$ (of $ν_1$) with the smallness of $T$ violation. For small $T$ violating phase $χ_l$ in the lepton sector, $J_{ν-map}$ is proportional to $χ_l$, but $m_e$ and $m_1$ are proportional to $χ_l^2$. This leads to $ J_{ν-map} \cong {1/6}\sqrt{\frac{m_e}{m_μ}}+O \bigg(\sqrt{\frac{m_em_μ}{m_τ^2}}\bigg)+O \bigg(\sqrt{\frac{m_1m_2}{m_3^2}}\bigg)$. Assuming $\sqrt{\frac{m_1m_2}{m_3^2}}<

description: The DEK protein is a ubiquitous nuclear factor that has been consistently associated with tumor progression: its expression level differs between normal and cancer cells (1), raising the possibility of using DEK as a tumor marker (2). Moreover, DEK is a non-histone architectural chromatin factor that may influence nucleosomal accessibility and therefore gene activity (3).
 The interest of this work is to investigate, using super-resolution microscopy approaches, the correlation between the organization of the DEK oncoprotein and the local chromatin structure depending on the degree of cell malignancy. A model based on three well-established human breast cell lines was chosen to represent different subtypes of breast cancer (MCF10A, MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells). We performed dual-color confocal and STED imaging followed by the pixel intensity spatial correlation analysis (4), to show the differences of the nanoscale distribution of DEK in relation to the chromatin organization pattern (observed by particular eu- and heterochromatin epigenetic marks immunostaining and RNA-FISH technique). We expect that this study will provide novel insights into the tumor-promoting activity of DEK, its role in crucial cellular processes such as DNA replication and thus progress our understanding of basic mechanisms of carcinogenesis.

description: An explicit algorithm for calculating the optimized Euler angles for both qubit state transfer and gate engineering given two arbitary fixed Hamiltonians is presented. It is shown how the algorithm enables us to efficiently implement single qubit gates even if the control is severely restricted and the experimentally accessible Hamiltonians are far from orthogonal. It is further shown that using the optimized Euler angles can significantly improve the fidelity of quantum operations even for systems where the experimentally accessible Hamiltonians are nearly orthogonal. Unlike schemes such as composite pulses, the proposed scheme does not significantly increase the number of local operations or gate operation times.
