description: Abstract—Modern web applications play a pivotal role in our digital society. Motivated by the many security vulnerabilities and data breaches routinely reported on those applications, we initiated the EU TESTABLE research project to address the main challenges of building and maintaining web applications secure and privacy-friendly. The ultimate goal is to lay the foundations for a new integration of security and privacy into the software development lifecycle (SDLC), by proposing the novel idea of combining two metrics to quantify the security and privacy risks of a program, i.e., the testability of the codebase (via the novel concept of "testability patterns") and the indicators for vulnerable behaviors. We have already achieved promising results by applying our research proposal in the area of static analysis security testing (SAST). Hundreds of tarpits—code instructions challenging for SAST tools—have been identified and captured in testability patterns that we used to measure SAST tools effectiveness as well as to improve the "SAST testability" of open source applications via code refactoring routines removing the tarpits. More than 180 new vulnerabilities have been uncovered after refactoring and confirmed by open source applications’ owners. We believe similar promising results can also be achieved in other areas such as dynamic analysis, privacy, and machine learning.

description: We propose mS2GD: a method incorporating a mini-batching scheme for improving the theoretical complexity and practical performance of semi-stochastic gradient descent (S2GD). We consider the problem of minimizing a strongly convex function represented as the sum of an average of a large number of smooth convex functions, and a simple nonsmooth convex regularizer. Our method first performs a deterministic step (computation of the gradient of the objective function at the starting point), followed by a large number of stochastic steps. The process is repeated a few times with the last iterate becoming the new starting point. The novelty of our method is in introduction of mini-batching into the computation of stochastic steps. In each step, instead of choosing a single function, we sample $b$ functions, compute their gradients, and compute the direction based on this. We analyze the complexity of the method and show that it benefits from two speedup effects. First, we prove that as long as $b$ is below a certain threshold, we can reach any predefined accuracy with less overall work than without mini-batching. Second, our mini-batching scheme admits a simple parallel implementation, and hence is suitable for further acceleration by parallelization.
Problems in the Standard Model: from neutrino mass to dark matter
Creators: name: Eric, Howard
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We discuss the main problems and theoretical difficulties in the Standard Model, that impact fundamental physics, the search for new physics and challenge future experimental progress in precision exotic physics, observational cosmology and particle physics. Despite its great predictive power and major successes, the model fails answering several questions and incorporate gravity in a consistent theory. We analyze a number of unsolved issues in the Standard Model, such as the vacuum instability problem, gauge coupling unification, neutrino mass, strong CP problem, hierarchy problem, flavor problem, dark matter, baryon asymmetry, quantum triviality and Landau pole problem, L and B number violations, and cosmological constant problem as well as their implications on cosmological inflation and the quantum nature of gravity. We emphasize the limitations of the model, with a specific focus on theoretical predictions that go beyond the Standard Model and potential direct tests of fundamental symmetries and their couplings to gravity.
ENUBET: a monitored narrow-band neutrino beam
Creators: name: Branca, Antonio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The ENUBET experiment is developing a new neutrino beam based on conventional techniques in which the flux and the flavor composition are known with unprecedented precision (O(1%)). Such a goal is accomplished monitoring the associated charged leptons produced in the decay region of the ENUBET facility. Positrons and muons from kaon decays are measured by a segmented calorimeter instrumenting the walls of the decay tunnel, while muon stations after the hadron dump can be used to monitor the neutrino component from pion decays. This poster will describe the options under study for the meson transfer line: a static (quadrupole-based) focusing of mesons coupled to a slow proton extraction scheme and a horn based focusing system associated to a new bursted slow extraction. The protoyping and testing activity on the facility instrumentation will be reported together with a full simulation of the lepton reconstruction chain in the decay tunnel.
Changing student nurses values, attitudes, and behaviours : a meta ethnography of enrichment activities

subject: FOS: Educational sciences

description: Objective: The process of changing student nurses attitudes,
 values, and behaviours so that they become congruent with the
profession are neither easy nor successful in all cases. This paper will
 clearly highlight to the reader the conditions necessary in order to
both optimise teaching activities and measure the degree of change in
the affective domain of student nurses.
Method: The aim of the meta-ethnography was to
analyse and synthesize literature on the impact of four undergraduate
pre-registration programme enrichment activities (Inter-professional
learning, International placements, simulation, and blended learning) on
 the affective domain development of student nurses. A systematic search
 of the literature identified qualitative studies using explicit
criteria. Key concepts were identified and translated across the
studies, by using a recognised framework that measured changes in values
 and attitudes: compliance, identification, and internalisation, from
the collective views of the participants. The findings created a line of
 argument synthesis from the developed tables and mind maps.
Results: Data were synthesised from twenty nine
papers, across seven countries, with more than 755 student nurse
participants. Reciprocal translation highlighted teaching activities
that created significant modification in affective domain development,
resulting in the internalisation of learning, were those that introduced
 the nursing students to a new patient, personal or professional culture via an international placement or an inter-professional training programme.
Conclusion: The final synthesis presents conclusions
 not evident in the primary studies. To develop students so they have
attitudes and values congruent with the profession, academics and
registered practitioners need to focus on creating enrichment activities
 alongside the regular curriculum that are: based on cultural issues
that challenge beliefs and assumptions, either immersive or repeated for
 more than 6 weeks, based around or in clinical practice, and provide
regular opportunities for premise reflection with experienced staff.

description: In England and Wales, more than 2.6 million people receive care from a
district nurse each year (Queens Nursing Institute [QNI], 2009) and an
often unreported area of this service is the out-of-hours service
provided from 6pm to 8am daily and at weekends. The complexities of such
 a service are clearly described by Wilson and Taylor (2011), who
explain that, during the night, patients are often very frightened and
vulnerable due
to the limited availability of healthcare provision. This article will,
therefore, define what is meant by out-of-hours nursing service and
explore the complexities of delivering wound management during the night
 to patients in their own homes.
Observation of the cosmic ray shadow of the Sun with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: One of the main goals of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is the search for point-like neutrino sources. Hence, a reliable method to estimate both the angular resolution and the pointing accuracy of the detector is needed. In this poster we present the study of the Sun "shadow" effect: the shadow is the deficit in the atmospheric muon flux in the direction of the Sun induced by the absorption of the primary cosmic rays. The analysis is based on the ANTARES data sample taken between 2008 and 2017. The Sun shadow effect has been observed with 3.9$\sigma$ statistical significance and the angular resolution of the telescope for downward-going atmospheric muons has been found equal to 0.45 ± 0.12 degrees. The pointing accuracy is consistent with the expectations and no evidence of systematic pointing shifts has been found.

description: The majority of current web authentication is built on username/password. Unfortunately, password replacement offers more security, but it is difficult to use and expensive to deploy. In this paper, we propose a new mutual authentication scheme called StrongAuth which preserves most password authentication advantages and simultaneously improves security using cryptographic primitives. Our scheme not only offers webmasters a clear framework which to build secure user authentication, but it also provides almost the same conventional user experience. Security analysis shows that the proposed scheme fulfills the required user authentication security benefits, and can resist various possible attacks.

description: The project sought to introduce an interprofessional training programme
for 3rd year pre-registration students across a range of professional
groups. The programme was developed collaboratively with three National
Health Service (NHS) sites. Practice education facilitators (PEFs),
social work and voluntary sector equivalents and lecturers were involved
 in developing the content and pedagogic approach.

The programme ran over a period of six weeks and was delivered on Trust
premises each week to a range of 50 pre-registration 3rd year students
from different professional disciplines: nursing (adult, child, mental
health and learning disabilities), physiotherapy, podiatry and social
work (although the social work students were studying at masters level –
 structural issues meant that it was not possible for BA social work
students to participate on this occasion). Once the students had
completed the programme, they were invited to participate in a focus
group to obtain their views about the training. Each site has a
dedicated PEF who participated in the development, delivery, and
evaluation of the programme.

From the 50 initially recruited, 23 students from the different
professional groups volunteered to participate in the focus group.

Four PEFs were involved in the development of the programme and
participated in the study evaluation.

A mixed methods exploratory case study using an action research approach
 was used to fully explore the development, impact and utility of the
Interprofessional Learning Training Programme (ILTP). The research,
predominantly qualitative in nature, sought to capture the students’
experiences of the ILTP and the PEFs’ experience of being involved in
the ILTP.

description: Comprehensive whole-body counter surveys of Miharu town school children have been conducted for four consecutive years, in 2011-2014. This represents the only long-term sampling-bias-free study of its type conducted after the Fukushima Dai-ichi accident. For the first time in 2014, a new device called the Babyscan, which has a low $^{134/137}$Cs MDA of $< 50$ Bq/body, was used to screen the children shorter than 130 cm. No child in this group was found to have detectable level of radiocesium. Using the MDAs, upper limits of daily intake of radiocesium were estimated for each child. For those screened with the Babyscan, the upper intake limits were found to be <1 Bq/day for $^{137}$Cs. Analysis of a questionnaire filled out by the children's parents regarding their food and water consumption shows that the majority of Miharu children regularly consume local and/or home-grown rice and vegetables. This however does not increase the body burden.

description: Aim of the study

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of WaterCell® Technology
 on pressure redistribution and self-reported comfort and discomfort
scores of adults with mobility problems who remain seated for extended
periods of time.

Methods

Twelve participants, were recruited and ranged in gender, age, height,
weight, and body mass index. Five were male, seven were female, and five
 were permanent wheelchair users. Each participant was randomly
allocated a chair, whose seat comprised of visco-elastic memory foam,
high-elastic reflex foam, and watercells, to trial for a week. Data
collected at day one and day seven included: interface pressure
measurements taken across the gluteal region (peak and average);
physiological observations of respiratory rate, pulse rate, and blood
pressure; skin inspection and comfort and discomfort scores.

Results

Watercell® technology was found to offer lower average pressures than
those reported to cause potential skin injury. Peak pressure index
findings were comparative to other studies. No correlation was found
between discomfort intensity rating and pressure redistribution.
Discomfort intensity rating was low for all participants and general
discomfort ranged from very low to medium. Physiological observations
decreased for 50% of participants over the seven days.

Conclusion

From our study we have found that WaterCell® technology offers
comparable pressure redistribution for people with a disability who need
 to sit for prolonged periods of time and the chairs were found to be
comfortable.

description: This paper reports our experiences of a student learning activity which
employed a Wiki for student radiographers and nurses to build on an
inter-professional learning event. The aim of the Wiki was to facilitate
 inter-professional learning for students who, having met face-to-face
once for a classroom based activity, would not be timetabled to meet
again. It was designed to allow students from differing disciplines to:
construct knowledge together, learn from and about one another, and
collaboratively produce a textual learning resource. 150 nursing and
radiography undergraduates were provided with a PBL trigger related to
the acute presentation of stroke. The students met once (5
mixed-discipline groups) to discuss the role of the professions and the
outcomes for the trigger scenario. Further learning was enabled through
the provision of a Wiki for each group. At week 4, all Wikis were made
visible for group peer assessment. Wiki editing skills were provided by
student 'Wiki champions', who cascaded training to their peers. We
report and reflect on the students' evaluations of both the Wiki as
process and outcome and discuss the value of Wikis for
inter-professional learning. Findings show that, in addition to being an
 enjoyable and flexible learning experience, the Wiki satisfied its
intended aims. There was a variation in the level and quality of student
 participation the causes of which are discussed. Ground rules for
effective Wiki use are proposed.

description: Ending the nexus between energy and poverty is a critical priority for advancing just energy transitions and meeting many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve these goals, integrated energy planning needs to attend to: (a) how energy users will use energy productively or to create tangible value; (b) the knowledge, skills, and equipment to use energy effectively; and (c) the net value created through energy use, including benefits, costs, risks, and burdens. In this way, energy investments and projects can be designed in ways that result in high levels of societal benefit, contribute to economic growth and sustainable development, and are bankable to investors and sustainable over the long-term.

LiquidO: a Novel Neutrino Detection Concept
Creators: name: J. Pedro Ochoa
name: Porter, Joshua
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Liquid Scintillator (LS) detectors have been a workhorse for low energy neutrino physics ever since the discovery of these elusive particles. In the most common implementation of these detectors, the light produced by particle interactions propagates across transparent scintillator volumes to surrounding photo-sensors. This poster introduces a new detector concept called LiquidO that departs from the conventional transparency-based approach in at least two significant ways: the use of an opaque liquid scintillator that confines light near its creation point, and the collection of light from within the LS volume through a dense fiber array. The result is a detector that has a high affinity for loading and that, by preserving the precious topological information of particle interactions lost in conventional LS detectors, has unprecedented capabilities for event identification and background rejection. The main ideas behind LiquidO, as well as its expected performance, will be covered in this poster.
The Beauty and the Beast (40 years of process algebra and cybersecurity)

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Abstract—Process algebras provide the mathematical foundation for several formal verification techniques, and they profoundly influenced many fields, from correct design to testing. Process algebras were greatly influential also for the security community. One of the main reasons for their success is their compact, yet expressive and flexible syntax, which allows to model the relevant aspects of computation while abstracting away the secondary ones. Although most authors acknowledge the importance of process algebras for the security community, it is not trivial to estimate how they shaped the past and present researches. The goal of this work is to provide a comprehensive outlook on some prominent works about process algebras and security. These include both the application of process algebras to security problems and process algebras inspired by security-related aspects of computation. To achieve this, we consider three fundamental fields of cybersecurity, i.e., secure development, threat modeling and vulnerability assessment.

description: Abstract—An increasing number of companies are selling data as an additional source of revenue, or acquire data from other parties to optimize their business. In many cases, the shared data contains sensitive personal records. According to the GDPR regulation, personal data should be anonymized before it is released to third parties. A frequently applied technique is the k-anonymity metric, which ensures that every record in the dataset becomes indistinguishable from K other records through data generalization. This work combines generalization techniques with sampling. By adding a sampling step in the anonymization pipeline, additional uncertainty is introduced towards a potential attacker. As attackers can no longer be sure that an individual is in the sampled dataset, the re-identification risk is mitigated. This work proposes and evaluates multiple sampling techniques. Both the privacy and the utility properties of the anonymized datasets are embraced. The utility of the anonymized datasets is further evaluated in a machine learning use-case.

description: Valuation ratios in the Canadian stock market can help reveal investors’ expectations about future economic growth because the impact of economic growth on valuation ratios can vary across industries. We find that this variation helps produce accurate forecasts of future growth of real gross domestic product in Canada. The forecasts from our model declined by just over 3 percentage points between January 2022 and February 2023—a period when the Bank of Canada rapidly increased the overnight rate. As well, we find that interest-rate-sensitive industries had an outsized contribution to this expected slowdown in growth.

Nous constatons que cette variation contribue à produire des prévisions précises de la croissance future du produit intérieur brut réel au Canada. Les prévisions de notre modèle ont baissé d’un peu plus de 3 points de pourcentage entre janvier 2022 et février 2023, soit une période pendant laquelle la Banque du Canada a relevé rapidement le taux du financement à un jour. Nous constatons aussi que les industries sensibles aux taux d’intérêt ont contribué de façon disproportionnée à ce ralentissement attendu de la croissance.

description: Motivated by the no-show of New Physics signals coming from BSM searches in the post-Higgs era of the LHC, we study the scalar sector of the original electroweak-scale right-handed neutrino model, which includes Majorana masses and new mirror fermions having masses in the EW scale. This scenario successfully connects the see-saw mechanism, strong CP and DM problem and contains distinguished Long-lived particle (LLP) signals with large displaced vertices (mm-cm) in quark and lepton sectors. In this work, we analyze the complete scalar sector spectrum which includes heavier triplets, doublets and singlet higgs states in conjunction with the specific 125-GeV scalar state.We also specifically investigate the prospect of the light singlet scalar fulfilling the role of the DM candidate in this framework.

Performing Arabic at the learned societies of Beirut, 1846–1869

description: This dissertation focuses on the learned societies of Beirut and studies the emergence of the Arabic language as a topic of discourse in the early Nahḍa period. Through the lens of language performance theory and standard language ideology, it traces the revival of an Arabic Standard Language Ideology during the middle decades of the nineteenth-century in Beirut. Based on textual analysis of society lectures and previously unused sources, this study proposes a new reading of the learned societies of Beirut and presents a nuanced account of Arabic usage amid the local emerging elite. The study first describes the approach taken toward Arabic at Majma‘ al-Tahdhīb (the Refinement Assembly, est. 1846). It then focuses on speeches delivered at al- Jam‘iyya al-Sūriyya li-’ktisāb al-‘Ulūm wa-l-Funūn (the Syrian Society of Arts and Sciences, est. 1847) and the position of the society amid a quasi-global network of oriental societies. Next, it highlights the concerted effort of local Beiruti Arabs in the 1850s to re-purpose the esoteric genre of taqrīẓ (poetic endorsement) and to promote classical Arabic poetry through publications funded by al-‘Umda al-Adabiyya li-Ishhār al-Kutub al-‘Arabiyya (the Literary Association for Publicizing Arabic Books, est. 1858). The dissertation concludes by analyzing highly-stylized, eloquent speeches, and odes performed at al-Jam‘iyya al-‘Ilmiyya al-Sūriyya (the Syrian Learned Society, est. 1868). Looking at these five learned-society projects in Beirut that ran from 1846 to 1869, I outline how the burgeoning Beiruti elite positioned Classical Arabic (al- ‘Arabiyya) as the language standard for their nineteenth-century reading of tamaddun (civilization). I suggest that they customized the tradition of Arabic language performance to redefine performative spaces and the new media of print. This essay also investigates the role of social networks in the region and with the global community of orientalists in advancing al-‘Arabiyya as the appropriate language standard. The conclusions prompt a revisiting of the narrative on language simplification during the early Nahḍa in Beirut, in light of the interests of local elites and orientalists in promoting a classicized, idealized Arabic language
Extending conceptual understanding: How interprofessional education influences affective domain development

description: Background:

Interprofessional learning (IPL) can influence affective domain
development of students, through teaching activities that facilitate
learning with, from and about other professions. Current quantitative
evidence offers limited explanation of how this learning is achieved
within IPL programmes. This original paper tests a conceptual framework
drawn from theories on IPL and affective domain development (attitudes,
values and behaviours) to explain what works for whom, when and in what
circumstances.

Methods:
 The objectives of the study were twofold:
to evaluate the impact of the IPL programme on the student’s attitudes
and values, and identify behaviour changes in clinical practice towards
interprofessional working. Using an action research approach, based in
practice, an IPL programme was delivered over six weeks. Students from
five professional disciplines: nursing, radiography, physiotherapy,
social work, and podiatry (n=63) participated over the two action
research cycles and in semi structured focus groups (n=37).

Results:
 The recorded personal experiences of the
IPL activities on the students were examined in relation to the: type of
 activity; impact on the affective domain of learning (attitude, value,
or behaviour) and self-reported outcome on application to their
practice. Modification in affective domain development was measured to
identification or internalisation stage for 30 of the students.
Self-reported outcomes on application to practice included direct impact
 on patient care, personal resilience building, improved communication
and ability to challenge practice.

Conclusion:
 This paper presents a conceptual
framework not evident in current research, in regards to what IPL works
for whom, in what circumstances and when. IPL Activities that address a
personal reward or incentive and are delivered over 4 weeks, imitating
‘circles of care,’ that explore self-assessment, team building and
reflection can lead to sustained change in values, attitudes and
behaviours.

description: Adopting the notation of Teukolsky and Press, we derive the connection relation for asymptotic solutions of the massless Dirac equation on a Kerr background. We show that, unlike bosonic fields, the connection relation for massless Dirac fields (neutrino) provides a rigorous proof of mode stability. The same relation also implies that every incoming mode can be absorbed by the black hole or there is no superradiance. Recent works on overspinning black holes have shown that this can lead to the formation of naked singularities. We argue that the fact that both the mode stability of the black hole under neutrino perturbations and the instability of the event horizon (therefore the instability of the black hole) can be derived from the same connection relation leads to a paradox. In other words mode, stability implies event horizon instability as far as neutrino perturbations are concerned.

New limits on neutrino decay from the Glashow resonance of high-energy cosmic neutrinos

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Discovering neutrino decay would be strong evidence of new physics. Presently, there are only lax lower limits on the lifetime $\tau$ of neutrinos, of $\tau/m > 10^{-3}$ s eV$^{-1}$ or worse, where $m$ is the neutrino mass. Fortunately, TeV-PeV cosmic neutrinos offer superior sensitivity to decay due to their cosmological-scale baselines. We employ a promising method, recently proposed, that uses the Glashow resonance $\bar{\nu}_e + e \to W$, triggered by $\bar{\nu}_e$ of 6.3 PeV, to test decay with only a handful of detected events. Based on the recent detection of the first Glashow resonance candidate in IceCube, we place new lower limits on the lifetimes of $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ in the inverted mass ordering. For $\nu_2$, our limit is the current best. For $\nu_1$, our limit is close to the current best and will surpass it soon.

description: Abstract—Many companies, non-profit organizations and governmental bodies collect personal information during service interactions. However, releasing sensitive personal data may impose huge privacy risks. First, an increasing amount of sensitive personal information becomes publicly available online after user consent. Moreover, data breaches may result in huge data dumps that can contain personal records of millions of individuals. Hence, malicious entities are able to scrape, collect and combine personal data from multiple sources in order to compile detailed profiles of many individuals. This paper demonstrates the impact of publicly available data during de-anonymization by means of a concrete case study. Journalists are often reluctant or even prohibited to release the identity of suspects or victims in criminal cases. They do, however, often release initials and background (such as their age and residential location). Through a large scale study of over 132.000 news articles, this paper demonstrates that currently applied privacy measures are often insufficient and straightforward re-identification strategies can de-anonymize individuals.

Constraints on models with light mediators from the latest CONNIE results
Creators: name: Vergara, Brenda Aurea Cervantes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The CONNIE experiment, located at a distance of 30 m from the core of the Angra 2 reactor in Brazil, has collected a 3.7 kg-day exposure using a CCD detector array, with an energy threshold of $\sim$1 keV, for the study of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS). We report the first results of the experiment showing no excess in the reactor-on data. A 95% confidence level limit was established and was used to constrain two simplified extensions of the Standard Model with light mediators. The constraints for a light vector with mass $M_{Z^{\prime}}<$ 10 MeV and a light scalar with mass $M_{\phi}<$ 30 MeV are the current best limits among the experiments searching for CE$\nu$NS.
Long-distance continuous-variable quantum key distribution with efficient channel estimation

description: We investigate the main limitations which prevent the continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocols from achieving long distances in the finite-size setting. We propose a double-modulation protocol which allows using each state for both channel estimation and key distribution. As opposed to the standard method, we optimize the parameters of the protocol and consider squeezed as well as coherent states as a signal. By optimally combining the resources the key rate can approach the theoretical limit for long distances, and one can obtain about ten times higher key rate using ten times shorter block size than in the current state-of-the-art implementation.

description: Background: Following previous professional communication research into entrepreneurship, we examine key genres of a speciﬁc business accelerator, Start-Up Chile (SUP). Through a triangulated study of interviews, texts, and videos, we examine how the Playbook serves as a regulatory metagenre that represents the SUP experience to the participating ﬁrms. We ﬁnd that aspects of the Playbook’s representation are at odds with the other data, divergences that we argue emerge from a broader tension among SUP’s stakeholders and goals. Literature review: We review the professional communication literature on entrepreneurship, literature on startups and accelerators, and on writing, activity, and genre research (WAGR). Speciﬁcally, we examine WAGR research on metagenres and professional identity formation. Research question: How does this successful international accelerator regularize the learning experience of its exceedingly diverse startups? Speciﬁcally, how does SUP regulate the startups’ different experiences, reframing the experience of entrepreneurship and teaching these startups to form their professional identity as entrepreneurs? Research methodology: We structured this research as a qualitative case study of SUP. Data included documents, videos, interviews, and social media. We triangulated these data sources to identify points of convergence (in which different data sources supported the same assertions) and divergence (in which data sources contradicted each other). Results: SUP provides the Playbook and Newsletter as metagenres that regulate complex interactions among other genres and events, guiding ﬁrms into having roughly equivalent experiences as well as maintaining relationships among volunteers such as mentors. But the Playbook also reframes the experience of entrepreneurship so that it can ﬁt into SUP’s program: it reframes the cyclical entrepreneurship process as linear, and it reframes promises of future action as tracking of past actions. In undergoing these experiences, the startups form their professional identity as entrepreneurs. Conclusion: We conclude by discussing implications for accelerators as well as for how professional communication genres and metagenres regulate neophytes’ experiences in training programs more broadly.
Performance of ProtoDUNE Dual-Phase
Creators: name: Zambelli, Laura
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will use a large liquid argon (LAr) detector consisting of four modules each with a fiducial mass of 10 ktons of LAr. One of the technology options for the far detector modules is a liquid-argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) working in Dual Phase mode. In a Dual Phase TPC, ionisation charge deposited in the liquid argon volume is drifted towards the liquid surface, extracted into the argon vapour, amplified by Large Electron Multipliers (LEM) and collected by an anode plane with strip readout. To validate this technology, a kton-scale prototype, ProtoDUNE Dual-Phase, has been constructed and has been operating at the CERN neutrino platform since September 2019. In this poster we will describe the principal features of the detector design and operation. Preliminary results will be shown on its performance.

subject: FOS: Educational sciences

description: Background:

Costs for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers have
increased significantly with limited published advice from health and
social care organisations on seating and preventing pressure ulcers. At
the request of the UK Tissue Viability Society the aim of the
publication was to develop a practical guide for people, carers and
health and social care professionals on how the research and evidence
base on pressure ulcer prevention and management can be applied to those
 who remain seated for extended periods of time.

Methods and findings:

The evidence base informing the guidelines was obtained by applying a
triangulation of methods: a literature review, listening event and
stakeholder group consultation. The purpose was to engage users and
carers, academics, clinicians, inspectorate and charities, with an
interest in seating, positioning and pressure management to: gather
views, feedback, stories, and evidence of the current practices in the
field to create a greater awareness of the issue.

Conclusion:

The new guidelines are inclusive of all people with short and long-term
mobility issues to include all population groups. The document includes
evidence on where pressure ulcers develop when seated, risk factors,
best possible seated position and what seat adjustments are required,
the ideal seating assessment, interventions, self-help suggestions and
key seating outcomes. The updated TVS CPGs have been informed by the
best available evidence, the insights and wisdom of experts,
stakeholders and people who spend extended periods of time sitting
