description: The aim of this review was to systematize, evaluate and synthesize original research specific to Mexico on Trypanosoma cruzi, the zoonosis, vectors (Triatominae: Hemiptera: Reduviidae), Chagas disease (CD) using PRISMA methodology. The evidence was identified through four search engines, selected using inclusion criteria, assigned to 13 topics, and evaluated using technical criteria. Of 1,410 records identified, 659 (46.7%) were chosen for technical evaluation, of which 221 (15.7%) were rated as the highest quality. PubMed contributed 95% of the records, while BibTri, Lilacs and Scielo contributed the remaining 5%. Publication rate was constant between 1950 and 1990, although there was an exponential increase from 1995 to 2020. Publication quality also increased from 5.3% of registries in 1990 to 49.8% in 2020. Systemic, economic, anthropological and social aspects of CD in Mexico were the topics least represented (8%). Despite the remarkable increase in knowledge generated in the last two decades in Mexico, this systematic review highlights the failure to incorporate academic expertise as well as civil society and existing evidence into care, prevention, and control of CD for public health policy in the country.

description: Characterizing the state of software engineering practice within an organization is a necessary prerequisite to orderly, meaningful, and sustainable improvement of the organizations ability to produce or support cost-effective, high quality software products. The Software Engineering Institute is developing a methodology for conducting SEI-assisted assessments of software engineering capability. The assessment methodology has five phases: 1. selecting the candidate organization, 2. preparing for the assessment, 3. conducting the assessment, 4. communicating final assessment findings and action recommendations, and 5. post-assessment follow-up activities. This report describes the methodology in detail.
title: On the role of informational privacy in connected vehicles: A privacy-aware acceptance modelling approach for connected vehicular services
Creators: name: Walter, Jonas

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2023

description: Modern cars are becoming increasingly connected. While connectivity enhances the car’s functional portfolio, it fosters the relevance of information privacy in the private vehicle. This research paper sets out to elucidate the role of data disclosure in the acceptance of connected services in the car. Based on Davis’ Technology Acceptance Model, we postulate an acceptance model which accounts for informational privacy in the connected car. In a high-fidelity driving simulator study, 116 participants interacted with a connected parking service and subsequently responded to an acceptance questionnaire. Structural equation modelling revealed a significant influence of privacy-related factors on attitude towards using the system, which in turn directly influences usage intention. The results underscore the relevance of informational privacy for the acceptance of connected vehicular services.

description: Linguistic steganography (LS) aims to embed secret information into a highly encoded text for covert communication. It can be roughly divided to two main categories, i.e., modification based LS (MLS) and generation based LS (GLS). Unlike MLS that hides secret data by slightly modifying a given text without impairing the meaning of the text, GLS uses a trained language model to directly generate a text carrying secret data. A common disadvantage for MLS methods is that the embedding payload is very low, whose return is well preserving the semantic quality of the text. In contrast, GLS allows the data hider to embed a high payload, which has to pay the high price of uncontrollable semantics. In this paper, we propose a novel LS method to modify a given text by pivoting it between two different languages and embed secret data by applying a GLS-like information encoding strategy. Our purpose is to alter the expression of the given text, enabling a high payload to be embedded while keeping the semantic information unchanged. Experimental results have shown that the proposed work not only achieves a high embedding payload, but also shows superior performance in maintaining the semantic consistency and resisting linguistic steganalysis.

Starting from Warburg’s texts, this essay aims to reconstruct the genealogy that, from the Roman sarcophagi representing the Judgement of Paris, leads to Manet’s Déjeuner sur l’herbe, passing through Marcantonio Raimondi’s engraving Judgement of Paris from Raphael’s lost original. This reading opens up to fundamental issues in Warburg’s thought, such as the study of clothing as a symptom of a certain historical era and the warburgian concept of Pathosformel.

description: This article discusses Mexican literary interventions on the Mexican-US-border, during the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century. Linked to the question what qualifies today's literature written in the border region on the border as subject matter, it revisits the depiction of transfronterizo culture and borderlands in three novels written by Mexican authors of two generations: Luis Humberto Crostwaite's La luna siempre será un amor difícil (1994), Heriberto Yépez' A.B.U.R.T.O. (2005) and Yuri Herrera's Señales que precederán al fin del mundo (2009). The article starts with a short introduction into the literature of the northern border, sketching out the determining views on the border/different approaches to the border space – Chicana/o views and the counter move/reaction from the Mexican side. In this discussion, Gloria Anzaldúa's Borderlands/La frontera plays a crucial role. Anzaldúa's border thinking captured the dynamics at the border and of the border connected to the embodied, lived experience (history, indigenous presence, sexuality), the act of remembering/recordar /remembrar the manifold affiliations through the flesh. Although Gloria Anzaldúa's text is not at the forefront of the analysis, it has aesthetic and conceptual repercussions in all three novels.

description: We study measures of decoherence and thermalization of a quantum system $S$ in the presence of a quantum environment (bath) $E$. The whole system is prepared in a canonical thermal state at a finite temperature. Applying perturbation theory with respect to the system-environment coupling strength, we find that under common Hamiltonian symmetries, up to first order in the coupling strength it is sufficient to consider the uncoupled system to predict decoherence and thermalization measures of $S$. This decoupling allows closed form expressions for perturbative expansions for the measures of decoherence and thermalization in terms of the free energies of $S$ and of $E$. Numerical results for both coupled and decoupled systems with up to 40 quantum spins validate these findings.

description: We determine the phase diagram of a bilayer, Yao-Lee spin-orbital model with inter-layer interactions (J), for several stackings and moiré superlattices. For AA stacking, a gapped Z2 quantum spin liquid phase emerges at a finite Jc. We show that this phase survives in the well-controlled large-J limit, where an isotropic honeycomb toric code emerges. For moiré superlattices, a finite-q inter-layer hybridization is stabilized. This connects inequivalent Dirac points, effectively `untwisting' the system. Our study thus provides insight into the spin-liquid phases of bilayer spin-orbital Kitaev materials.

Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Organizations that adopt a software product line strategy often have business goals that concern improving their ability to produce products by lowering product development costs, by reducing the time to bring a product to market, or through other production improvements. Business goals such as these make automated product derivation an appealing strategy to a software product line organization. Automating production requires up-front investment, including the creation of both the core assets that will be assembled as products and the core assets that will perform the assembly. A software product line provides the ability to amortize the cost of the infrastructure over a set of products. This report views the process for automating the production of products in the context of a product production system. The process begins with the decision to automate, proceeds to the selection of the automation approach, and continues with the operation and management of the automated production capability. The process is illustrated by a case study automating the production process in the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute's pedagogical product line.
Lower bounds on coloring numbers from hardness hypotheses in PCF theory

description: We prove that the statement "for every infinite cardinal nu, every graph with list chromatic nu has coloring number at most beth_omega (nu)" proved by Kojman [6] using the RGCH theorem [11] implies the RGCG theorem via a short forcing argument. Similarly, a better upper bound than beth_omega (nu) in this statement implies stronger forms of the RGCH theorem hold, whose consistency and the consistency of their negations are wide open. Thus, the optimality of Kojman's upper bound is a purely cardinal arithmetic problem, and, as discussed below, is hard to decide.

description: Constructing accurate and generalizable approximators for complex physico-chemical processes exhibiting highly non-smooth dynamics is challenging. In this work, we propose new developments and perform comparisons for two promising approaches: manifold-based polynomial chaos expansion (m-PCE) and the deep neural operator (DeepONet), and we examine the effect of over-parameterization on generalization. We demonstrate the performance of these methods in terms of generalization accuracy by solving the 2D time-dependent Brusselator reaction-diffusion system with uncertainty sources, modeling an autocatalytic chemical reaction between two species. We first propose an extension of the m-PCE by constructing a mapping between latent spaces formed by two separate embeddings of input functions and output QoIs. To enhance the accuracy of the DeepONet, we introduce weight self-adaptivity in the loss function. We demonstrate that the performance of m-PCE and DeepONet is comparable for cases of relatively smooth input-output mappings. However, when highly non-smooth dynamics is considered, DeepONet shows higher accuracy. We also find that for m-PCE, modest over-parameterization leads to better generalization, both within and outside of distribution, whereas aggressive over-parameterization leads to over-fitting. In contrast, an even highly over-parameterized DeepONet leads to better generalization for both smooth and non-smooth dynamics. Furthermore, we compare the performance of the above models with another operator learning model, the Fourier Neural Operator, and show that its over-parameterization also leads to better generalization. Our studies show that m-PCE can provide very good accuracy at very low training cost, whereas a highly over-parameterized DeepONet can provide better accuracy and robustness to noise but at higher training cost. In both methods, the inference cost is negligible.

description: Quality attribute requirements are a driving force for software and system architecture design. Architectural patterns can be used to achieve quality attribute requirements. Consequently architectural patterns generate value based on the present and future utility of the quality attributes they achieve. This report makes the case that architectural patterns carry economic value in part in the form of real options, providing software architects the right, but not the obligation, to take subsequent design actions. The report shows, via a simple example, how an analysis of the options embodied within architectural patterns allows an architect or manager to make reasoned choices about the future value of design decisions, considering this value along multiple quality attribute dimensions.

Adverse Outcome Pathways

description: Grouping of substances and read-across is an ‘alternative to animal testing’ approach for the safety assessment of substances and for filling data gaps in registrations submitted under the European Chemicals legislation, REACH1. This approach has been applied successfully to small molecules for many years, but only recently has begun to be extended to cover the special requirements and the more complex and dynamic structures of Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs). The overarching rationale behind the grouping/read across approach is that similar ENMs will have a similar toxicity behavior. Therefore, establishment of similarity measures and metrics is a prerequisite for any grouping/read-across variant, which is eventually applied for the prediction of properties of unknown ‘target' ENMs using relevant information from known similar ‘source’ ENMs. Due to the complex structures of ENMs, definition of similarity is not trivial. Several perspectives of ENM characterisation can be taken into account that may define multiple levels of similarity (physicochemical, biological, kinetics etc.).

description: This report provides a wide view of the costs, risks, and benefits associated with instructional technology alternatives. The number and variety of possible paths to learning through this technology have increased markedly in recent years with the advent of interactive multimedia, satellite communications, and the Internet. More than ever before, learning technologies have created new educational possibilities for people and organizations. In this era of increasing financial stringency, we are obligated to examine these new possibilities in light of their obvious advantages: replication of high-quality instruction, lower overall costs, increased quality in educational outcomes, and the ability to provide these benefits over long distances. This report will show that with today's computer-based instructional technology, the question is no longer whether to use the technology, but rather how to use it.

description: Image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms aim to reproduce the human's perception of the image quality. The growing popularity of image enhancement, generation, and recovery models instigated the development of many methods to assess their performance. However, most IQA solutions are designed to predict image quality in the general domain, with the applicability to specific areas, such as medical imaging, remaining questionable. Moreover, the selection of these IQA metrics for a specific task typically involves intentionally induced distortions, such as manually added noise or artificial blurring; yet, the chosen metrics are then used to judge the output of real-life computer vision models. In this work, we aspire to fill these gaps by carrying out the most extensive IQA evaluation study for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to date (14,700 subjective scores). We use outputs of neural network models trained to solve problems relevant to MRI, including image reconstruction in the scan acceleration, motion correction, and denoising. Our emphasis is on reflecting the radiologist's perception of the reconstructed images, gauging the most diagnostically influential criteria for the quality of MRI scans: signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, and the presence of artifacts. Seven trained radiologists assess these distorted images, with their verdicts then correlated with 35 different image quality metrics (full-reference, no-reference, and distribution-based metrics considered). The top performers -- DISTS, HaarPSI, VSI, and FID-VGG16 -- are found to be efficient across three proposed quality criteria, for all considered anatomies and the target tasks.

Transformation of Sports Practices in Pandemic and Post-pandemic Times

Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2023

description: This study explores how sports activities and practices have transformed during the pandemic. These social phenomena have impacted society, organizations, interactions, and individuals (Luhmann, 2003). We conducted desk research and expert interviews in Italy and Romania. The data collected will demonstrate that the two countries represent different patterns of pandemic development. Italy was the most affected European country in the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 (hereafter COVID-19) in 2020. On the opposite side, Romania managed to control the situation well at the beginning of the pandemic. However, it was stronger affected in 2021, while Italy managed to control the situation much better. The desk research consisted of reviewing available official sources and literature (De Nunes, 2020; Pleyers, 2020) related to measures and policies taken to control the effects of Covid on sports activities. Qualitative data were obtained from expert interviews and a critical theoretical framework was applied to assess the countries’ restrictions. Our research aims to help to understand how social capabilities could be used to support sports activities in crisis times, as the COVID-19 pandemic was and is – first and foremost – a social phenomenon. Not surprisingly, COVID-19 has spread thanks to the multiple relationships – cultural, economic, political, etc. – that the world's population has forged over a definitively global space, with differential impacts across places (Bailey et al., 2021) that pose sociology to face to understand these new complex scenarios, the main issues we had to face, the successes, the criticalities and the lessons learned.

description: We introduce SoFiA, a flexible software application for the detection and parameterization of sources in 3D spectral-line datasets. SoFiA combines for the first time in a single piece of software a set of new source-finding and parameterization algorithms developed on the way to future HI surveys with ASKAP (WALLABY, DINGO) and APERTIF. It is designed to enable the general use of these new algorithms by the community on a broad range of datasets. The key advantages of SoFiA are the ability to: search for line emission on multiple scales to detect 3D sources in a complete and reliable way, taking into account noise level variations and the presence of artefacts in a data cube; estimate the reliability of individual detections; look for signal in arbitrarily large data cubes using a catalogue of 3D coordinates as a prior; provide a wide range of source parameters and output products which facilitate further analysis by the user. We highlight the modularity of SoFiA, which makes it a flexible package allowing users to select and apply only the algorithms useful for their data and science questions. This modularity makes it also possible to easily expand SoFiA in order to include additional methods as they become available. The full SoFiA distribution, including a dedicated graphical user interface, is publicly available for download.

Building on our earlier results on the ABJ partition function, we develop the systematic 1/M expansion, corresponding to the weak coupling expansion in the higher spin theory, and compare the leading 1/M correction, with our proposed prescription, to the one-loop free energy of the N=6 Vasiliev theory. We find an agreement between the two sides up to an ambiguity that appears in the bulk one-loop calculation.

description: The ultimate purpose of the statistical analysis of ordinal patterns is to characterize the distribution of the features they induce. In particular, knowing the joint distribution of the pair entropy-statistical complexity for a large class of time series models would allow statistical tests that are unavailable to date. Working in this direction, we characterize the asymptotic distribution of the empirical Shannon’s entropy for any model under which the true normalized entropy is neither zero nor one. We obtain the asymptotic distribution from the central limit theorem (assuming large time series), the multivariate delta method, and a third-order correction of its mean value. We discuss the applicability of other results (exact, first-, and second-order corrections) regarding their accuracy and numerical stability. Within a general framework for building test statistics about Shannon’s entropy, we present a bilateral test that verifies if there is enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that two signals produce ordinal patterns with the same Shannon’s entropy. We applied this bilateral test to the daily maximum temperature time series from three cities (Dublin, Edinburgh, and Miami) and obtained sensible results.

description: Learning or memory formation are associated with the strengthening of the synaptic connections between neurons according to a pattern reflected by the input. According to this theory a retained memory sequence is associated to a dynamic pattern of the associated neural circuit. In this work we consider a class of network neuron models, known as Hopfield networks, with a learning rule which consists of transforming an information string to a coupling pattern. Within this class of models we study dynamic patterns, known as robust heteroclinic cycles, and establish a tight connection between their existence and the structure of the coupling.

description: In this work we investigate the following chemo-attraction with consumption model in bounded domains of \, $\mathbb{R}^N$ ($N=1,2,3$): $$ \partial_t u - Δu = - \nabla \cdot (u \nabla v), \quad \partial_t v - Δv = - u^s v $$ where $s\ge 1$, endowed with isolated boundary conditions and initial conditions for $(u,v)$. The main novelty in the model is the nonlinear potential consumption term $u^sv$. Through the convergence of solutions of an adequate truncated model, two main results are established; existence of uniform in time weak solutions in $3D$ domains, and uniqueness and regularity in $2D$ (or $1D$) domains. Both results are proved imposing minimal regularity assumptions on the boundary of the domain.

description: We revisited, by means of numerical simulations, the one dimensional bond diluted Levy Ising spin glasses outside the limit of validity of mean field theories. In these models the probability that two spins at distance $r$ interact (via a disordered interactions, $J_{ij}=\pm 1$) decays as $r^{-ρ}$. We have estimated, using finite size scaling techniques, the infinite volume correlation length and spin glass susceptibility for $ρ=5/3$ and $ρ=9/5$. We have obtained strong evidence for divergences of the previous observables at a non zero critical temperature. We discuss the behavior of the critical exponents, especially when approaching the value $ρ=2$, corresponding to a critical threshold beyond which the model has no phase transition. Finally, we numerically study the model right at the threshold value $ρ=2$.

description: We establish the condition $(Ω)$ for smooth kernels of various types of convolution and differential operators. By the $(DN)$-$(Ω)$ splitting theorem of Vogt and Wagner, this implies that these operators are surjective on the corresponding spaces of vector-valued smooth functions with values in a product of Montel $(DF)$-spaces whose strong duals satisfy the condition $(DN)$, e.g., the space $\mathscr{D}'(Y)$ of distributions over an open set $Y \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ or the space $\mathscr{S}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of tempered distributions. Most notably, we show that: $(i)$ $\mathscr{E}_P(X) = \{ f \in \mathscr{E}(X) \, | \, P(D)f = 0 \}$ satisfies $(Ω)$ for any differential operator $P(D)$ and any open convex set $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$. $(ii)$ Let $P\in\mathbb{C}[ξ_1,ξ_2]$ and $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ open be such that $P(D):\mathscr{E}(X)\rightarrow\mathscr{E}(X)$ is surjective. Then, $\mathscr{E}_P(X)$ satisfies $(Ω)$. $(iii)$ Let $μ\in \mathscr{E}'(\mathbb{R}^d)$ be such that $ \mathscr{E}(\mathbb{R}^d) \rightarrow \mathscr{E}(\mathbb{R}^d), \, f \mapsto μ\ast f$ is surjective. Then, $ \{ f \in \mathscr{E}(\mathbb{R}^d) \, | \, μ\ast f = 0 \}$ satisfies $(Ω)$. The central result in this paper states that the space of smooth zero solutions of a general convolution equation satisfies the condition $(Ω)$ if and only if the space of distributional zero solutions of the equation satisfies the condition $(PΩ)$. The above and related results then follow from known results concerning $(PΩ)$ for distributional kernels of convolution and differential operators.

The Roles of Reconnected Flux and Overlying Fields in CME Speeds

description: Researchers have reported (i) correlations of coronal mass ejection (CME) speeds and the total photospheric magnetic flux swept out by flare ribbons in flare-associated eruptive events, and, separately, (ii) correlations of CME speeds and more rapid decay, with height, of magnetic fields in potential coronal models above eruption sites. Here, we compare the roles of both ribbon fluxes and the decay rates of overlying fields in a set of 16 eruptive events. We confirm previous results that higher CME speeds are associated with both larger ribbon fluxes and more rapidly decaying overlying fields. We find the association with ribbon fluxes to be weaker than a previous report, but stronger than the dependence on the decay rate of overlying fields. Since the photospheric ribbon flux is thought to approximate the amount of coronal magnetic flux reconnected during the event, the correlation of speeds with ribbon fluxes suggests that reconnection plays some role in accelerating CMEs. One possibility is that reconnected fields that wrap around the rising ejection produce an increased outward hoop force, thereby increasing CME acceleration. The correlation of CME speeds with more rapidly decaying overlying fields might be caused by greater downward magnetic tension in stronger overlying fields, which could act as a source of drag on rising ejections.

description: This document summarizes the findings and presents the raw data from the Introducing Requirements Management into Organizations workshop hosted by the SEI (Software Engineering Institute) in November 1996. A transition package consists of a process description, related materials for users of the description, and materials for use by change agents in action teams and technical working groups introducing requirements management processes and tools into their organizations. The workshop participants considered the feasibility of building a transition package to expedite the adoption of effective requirements management practice and concluded that a transition package can and should be built for requirements management. This document records and publicizes the findings of the workshop, including problems and opportunities related to requirements management transition packages identified by workshop participants.

Real-Time Application Development with OSEK: A Review of the OSEK Standards

description: OSEK is an abbreviation for a German term that translates to ?open systems and the corresponding interfaces for automotive electronics. OSEK OS is the operating system specification and OSEK COM is the communication specification. Both are application program interface (API) standards for automotive real-time application development. They are complemented by OSEK Implementation Language (OIL), a modeling language for describing the configuration of an OSEK application and operating system.

This paper covers the SEI evaluation of these standards from the perspective of real-time application development. The SEI identified shortcomings in the description and semantics of certain services offered by the OSEK API. These shortcomings introduce unnecessary complexity to application developers and limit application portability. The SEI also identified the potential of OIL as an architectural modeling language to support design-time analyses, such as schedulability analysis. OIL's potential as a basis for generating both real-time OS data tables and an application runtime executive was examined. Utilizing OIL in this way simplifies application component development. Correct use of OSEK API functionality is then relegated to a generation tool that operates on OIL. Such improvements would facilitate practitioners' adoption of OSEK by reducing its perceived complexity.

description: We study the effect of newly emerged solar active regions (ARs) on the large-scale magnetic environment of pre-existing ARs (PEARs). We first present a theoretical approach to quantify the "interaction energy" between new ARs and PEARs as the difference between (i) the summed magnetic energies of their individual potential fields and (ii) the energy of their superposed potential fields. We expect that this interaction energy can, depending upon the relative arrangements of newly emerged and PEAR magnetic flux, indicate the existence of "topological" free magnetic energy in the global coronal field that is independent of any "internal" free magnetic energy due to coronal electric currents flowing within the newly emerged and PEAR flux systems. We then examine the interaction energy in two well-studied cases of flux emergence, but find that the predicted energetic perturbation is relatively small compared to energies released in large solar flares. Next, we present an observational study on the influence of the emergence of new ARs on flare statistics in PEARs, using NOAA's Solar Region Summary and GOES flare databases. As part of an effort to precisely determine the emergence time of ARs in a large event sample, we find that emergence in about half of these regions exhibits a two-stage behavior, with an initial gradual phase followed by a more rapid phase. Regarding flaring, we find that the emergence of new ARs is associated with a significant increase in the occurrence rate of X- and M-class flares in PEARs. This effect tends to be more significant when PEARs and new emerging ARs are closer. Given the relative weakness of the interaction energy, this effect suggests that perturbations in the large-scale magnetic field, such as topology changes invoked in the "breakout" model of coronal mass ejections, might play a significant role in the occurrence of some flares.

description: Quantum dots acting as single photon emitters in the blue-green range are fabricated and characterized at cryogenic temperature. They consist in CdSe dots inserted in (Zn,Mg)Se nanowires with a thick shell. Photoluminescence spectra, decay curves and autocorrelation functions were measured under nonresonant continuous-wave and pulsed excitation. An analytical approach is applied simultaneously to the decay curves and correlation functions. It allows a quantitative description of how these two quantities are affected by the exciton rise due to biexciton feeding, the bright exciton decay, the effect of the dark exciton, and the re-excitation between two laser pulses. Linewidths at our limit of resolution (200 $μ$eV) are recorded. The reported correlation counts vary from a full control by re-excitation from traps, to a small contribution of re-excitation by mobile carriers or other QDs, as low as 5%.
