description: Background: Analyses of out-of-pocket healthcare spending often suffer from an inability to distinguish necessary from optional spending in the data without making further assumptions. We propose a two-dimensional rating of the spending categories often available in household budget survey data where we consider the requirement to pay for necessary healthcare as one dimension and the incentive to pay extra for additional services, higher quality options or more convenience as a second dimension to assess the distortionary potential of higher spending for additional healthcare or higher quality options. Methods: We use three waves of a large German Household Budget Survey and decompose the Kakwani-index of total out-of-pocket healthcare spending into contributions of the eleven spending categories available in our data, across which user charge regulations vary considerably. We compute and decompose Kakwani-indexes for the different spending categories to compare the degrees of regressiveness across them. Results: The results suggest that categories with higher incentives for additional spending exhibit smaller contributions to the overall regressive effect of total out-of-pocket spending than categories where spending is presumably mostly on necessary and effective care. Conclusions: Assessing the consumer choice potential of different spending categories is important because extra spending among the better-off may outweigh necessary spending in aggregate expenditure data, and may also hint at potential inequalities in the quality of provided healthcare.

description: We use a semiclassical approximation to derive the partition function for an arbitrary potential in one-dimensional Quantum Statistical Mechanics, which we view as an example of finite temperature scalar Field Theory at a point. We rely on Catastrophe Theory to analyze the pattern of extrema of the corresponding path-integral. We exhibit the propagator in the background of the different extrema and use it to compute the fluctuation determinant and to develop a (nonperturbative) semiclassical expansion which allows for the calculation of correlation functions. We discuss the examples of the single and double-well quartic anharmonic oscillators, and the implications of our results for higher dimensions.

description: Insect-provided pollination services are increasingly threatened due to alarming declines in insect pollinator populations. One of the main threats to insect pollinators and consequently pollination is urbanisation. Here, we investigate the effects of local habitat quality (patch size, flowering plant richness, bare soil cover, vegetation structure), degree of urbanisation (impervious surfaces) and 3D connectivity on bee, hoverfly and butterfly flower visitors and plant-flower visitor networks in flower-rich urban dry grasslands. Overall, the degree of urbanisation and the quality of the local habitat influenced the flowering plant and pollinator communities. Although flowering plant abundance increased with urbanisation, bee species richness and butterfly species richness decreased with increasing impervious surfaces. Flowering plant richness and ground nesting resource availability were positively related to bee richness and local vegetation structure boosted hoverfly and butterfly visitation rates. In terms of plant–pollinator interactions, insect pollinators visited a lower proportion of the available flowering plants in more urbanised areas and network modularity and specialisation increased with patch size. Our findings show that urban dry grasslands are valuable habitats for species-rich pollinator communities and further highlight the importance of minimizing the intensity of urbanisation and the potential of local management practices to support insect biodiversity in cities.

description: The IoT area has grown significantly in the last few years and is expected to reach a gigantic amount of 50 billion devices by 2020. The appearance of serverless architectures, specifically highlighting FaaS, raises the question of the of using such in IoT environments. Combining IoT with a serverless architectural design can be effective when trying to make use of the local processing power that exists in a local network of IoT devices and creating a fog layer that leverages computational capabilities that are closer to the end-user. In this approach, which is placed between the device and the serverless function, when a device requests for the execution of a serverless function will decide based on previous metrics of execution if the serverless function should be executed locally, in the fog layer of a local network of IoT devices, or if it should be executed remotely, in one of the available cloud servers. Therefore, this approach allows to dynamically allocating functions to the most suitable layer.

description: Polar dielectric nanoparticles (NPs) with uniaxial anisotropy support two-surface phonon polariton modes inside a reststrahlen band. The effective permittivity of a randomly orientated ensemble of NPs is usually assumed to be isotropic due to averaging of the optical response over all orientations. In this work, we demonstrate that this assumption is not valid for ZnO nanoparticles, and the resultant absorption of a nanoparticle film can be tailored by the nanoparticle morphology. We measure distinct features in the absorption spectrum for films or ensembles of interacting polar dielectric NPs, which we attribute to the excitation of SPhP modes due to anisotropy in the dielectric permittivity of the NPs. We identify and characterize these modes in elliptical and rod-like ZnO NPs prepared by solvothermal synthesis and dispersed within an optically transparent matrix. Localized optical modes are identified using Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and confirmed by finite element simulations. The broadening and maxima of the modes are shown to be governed by the effects of anisotropy, nanoparticle morphology, and interparticle coupling within nanoparticle ensembles.

We discuss the factorization of all the collinear singularities related to the process, particularly those which are absorbed in the redefinition of the spin dependent analogue of the recently introduced fracture functions. This is done in the usual $\overline{MS}$ scheme and in another one, called $\overline{MS_p}$, which factorizes soft contributions and guarantees the axial current (non)conservation properties.

description: The objective of Deliverable 6.5 is to collect information from the ePLANET partners and their networks to develop a Repository of best practices and solutions for Energy Transition, produced in the framework of Task 6.3 "Best practices and solutions for energy transition." The ePLANET partner coordinating the Task is the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving (CRES), and contributions are foreseen in particular from partners CIMNE and LIMA, as well as from the rest of the partners and their networks.

The concept for the Repository of best practices and solutions for Energy Transition is to be a ‘one-stop-shop’ for any public authority and other interested stakeholders, to source best practices and respective case studies, in the following four key aspects related to energy transition:

Governance practices & structures

Technical solutions

Funding mechanisms

Training - capacity building"

The Repository is developed by consolidating information to be collected using a specific Excel template (part of deliverable 6.5). It is in report format and will be modified into a searchable database on the ePLANET project website.

The Repository will be available online after the end of the project, as a useful tool for supporting the long-term sustainability of the project and capitalisation of the project outcomes.
Vortices and magnetic impurities

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Ginzburg-Landau vortices in superconductors attract or repel depending on whether the value of the coupling constant is less than 1 or larger than 1. At critical coupling it was previously observed that a strongly localised magnetic impurity behaves very similarly to a vortex. This remains true for axially symmetric configurations away from critical coupling. In particular, a delta function impurity of a suitable strength is related to a vortex configuration without impurity by singular gauge transformation. However, the interaction of vortices and impurities is more subtle and depends not only on the coupling constant and the impurity strength, but also on how broad the impurity is. Furthermore, the interaction typically depends on the distance and may be attractive at short distances and repulsive at long distances. Numerical simulations confirm moduli space approximation results for the scattering of one and two vortices with an impurity. However, a double vortex will split up when scattering with an impurity, and the direction of the split depends on the sign of the impurity. Head-on collisions of a single vortex with different impurities away from critical coupling is also briefly discussed.

The Error Principle

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The problem of characterising the accuracy of, and disturbance caused by a joint measurement of position and momentum is investigated. In a previous paper the problem was discussed in the context of the unbiased measurements considered by Arthurs and Kelly. It is now shown, that suitably modified versions of these results hold for a much larger class of simultaneous measurements. The approach is a development of that adopted by Braginsky and Khalili in the case of a single measurement of position only. A distinction is made between the errors of retrodiction and the errors of prediction. Two error-error relationships and four error-disturbance relationships are derived, supplementing the Uncertainty Principle usually so-called. In the general case it is necessary to take into account the range of the measuring apparatus. Both the ideal case, of an instrument having infinite range, and the case of a real instrument, for which the range is finite, are discussed.

description: In this paper we show the existence of the generalized Eberlein decomposition for Fourier transformable measures with Meyer set support. We prove that each of the three components is also Fourier transformable and has Meyer set support. We obtain that each of the pure point, absolutely continuous and singular continuous components of the Fourier transform is a strong almost periodic measure, and hence is either trivial or has relatively dense support. We next prove that the Fourier transform of a measure with Meyer set support is norm almost periodic, and hence so is each of the pure point, absolutely continuous and singular continuous components. We show that a measure with Meyer set support is Fourier transformable if and only if it is a linear combination of positive definite measures, which can be chosen with Meyer set support, solving a particular case of an open problem. We complete the paper by discussing some applications to the diffraction of weighted Dirac combs with Meyer set support.

description: To date, quantum communication widely relies on attenuated lasers for secret key generation. In future quantum networks, fundamental limitations resulting from their probabilistic photon distribution must be overcome by using deterministic quantum light sources. Confined excitons in monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) constitute an emerging type of emitter for quantum light generation. These atomically thin solid-state sources show appealing prospects for large-scale and low-cost device integration, meeting the demands of quantum information technologies. Here, we pioneer the practical suitability of TMDC devices in quantum communication. We employ a WSe2 monolayer single-photon source to emulate the BB84 protocol in a quantum key distribution (QKD) setup and achieve click rates of up to 66.95 kHz and antibunching values down to 0.034—a performance competitive with QKD experiments using semiconductor quantum dots or color centers in diamond. Our work opens the route towards wider applications of quantum information technologies using TMDC single-photon sources.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify commonalities and differences between content components in stuttering treatment programs for preschool-age children.Method: In this document analysis, a thematic analysis of the content was conducted of handbooks and manuals describing Early Childhood Stuttering Therapy, the Lidcombe Program, Mini-KIDS, Palin Parent–Child Interaction Therapy, RESTART Demands and Capacities Model Method, and the Westmead Program. First, a theoretical framework defining a content component in treatment was developed. Second, we coded and categorized the data following the procedure of reflexive thematic analysis. In addition, the first authors of the treatment documents have reviewed the findings in this study, and their feedback has been analyzed and taken into consideration.Results: Sixty-one content components within the seven themes—interaction, coping, reactions, everyday life, information, language, and speech—were identified across the treatment programs. The content component SLP providing information about the child’s stuttering was identified across all treatment programs. All programs are multithematic, and no treatment program has a single focus on speech, language, or parent–child interaction. A comparison of the programs with equal treatment goals highlighted more commonalities in content components across the programs. The differences between the treatment programs were evident in both the number of content components that varied from seven to 39 and the content included in each treatment program.Conclusions: Only one common content component was identified across programs, and the number and types of components vary widely. The role that the common content component plays in treatment effects is discussed, alongside implications for research and clinical practice.Supplemental Material S1.

description: Background: Many physicians do not know how to accurately interpret test results using Bayes’ rule. As a remedy, two kinds of interventions have been shown effective: boosting insight and boosting agency with natural frequencies. To boost insight, test statistics are provided in natural frequencies (rather than conditional probabilities), without instructions on how to use them. To boost agency, a training is provided on how to translate probabilities into natural frequencies and apply them in Bayes’ rule. What has not been shown is whether boosting agency is sufficient or if representing test statistics in natural frequencies may additionally boost insight to maximize accurate test interpretation. Methods: We used a pre/posttest design to assess test interpretation accuracy of 577 medical students before and after a training on two Bayesian reasoning tasks, one providing conditional probabilities, the other natural frequencies. The pretest assessed baseline abilities versus the effect of natural frequencies to boost insight. After participants received a training on how to translate conditional probabilities into natural frequencies and how to apply them in Bayes’ rule, test interpretation skills were assessed using the same tasks again, comparing the effects of training-induced agency with versus without additionally boosting insight (i.e., test statistics in natural frequencies versus conditional probabilities). Results: Compared to the test question formatted in conditional probabilities (34% correct answers), natural frequencies facilitated Bayesian reasoning without training (68%), that is, they increased insight. The training on how to use natural frequencies improved performance for tasks formatted in conditional probabilities (64%). Performance was maximal after training and with test statistics formatted in natural frequencies, that is, with a combination of boosting insight and agency (89%). Conclusions: Natural frequencies should be used to boost insight and agency to maximize effective use of teaching resources. Thus, mandating that test statistics are provided in natural frequencies and adopting short trainings on how to translate conditional probabilities into natural frequencies and how to apply them in Bayes’ rule will help to maximize accurate test interpretation. Trial registration: The study was a registered with the German Clinical Trial Registry (DRKS00008723; 06/03/2015).

description: We study the direct CP asymmetry in B -> X_s gamma decay in SUSY models with non-universal A-terms. We show that the flavour-dependent phases of the A-terms, unlike the flavour-independent ones, can give rise too large contribution to the CP asymmetry while respecting the experimental bounds on the branching ratio of B -> X_s gamma decay and the electric dipole moments of the electron and neutron. The CP asymmetry of this decay is predicted to be much larger than the standard model prediction in a wide region of the parameter space. In particular, it can be of order 10-15% which can be accessible at B factories.

description: The distribution of measured values for maximally accurate, unbiased simultaneous measurements of position and momentum is investigated. It is shown, that if the measurement is retrodictively optimal, then the distribution of results is given by the initial state Husimi function (or Q-representation). If the measurement is predictively optimal, then the distribution of results is related to the final state anti-Husimi function (or P-representation). The significance of this universal property for the interpretation of the Husimi function is discussed.

description: Disentangle the hard and soft dynamics in diffractive DIS is one of the main open questions of the strong interactions. We propose the study of the logarithmic slope in $Q^2$ of the diffractive structure function as a potential observable to discriminate between the Regge and the QCD-based approaches. Our results indicate that a future experimental analyzes could evidentiate the leading dynamics at $ep$ diffractive processes in the HERA kinematical regime.

description: Achieving a thorough understanding of the determinants of household water consumption is crucial to support demand management strategies. Yet, existing research on household water consumption determinants is often limited to specific case studies, with findings that are difficult to generalize and not conclusive. Here, we first contribute an updated framework for review, classification, and analysis of the literature on the determinants of household water consumption. Our framework allows trade-off analysis of different criteria that account for the representation of a potential water consumption determinant in the literature, its impact across heterogeneous case studies, and the effort required to collect information on it. We then review a comprehensive set of 48 publications with our proposed framework. The results of our trade-off analysis show that distinct groups of determinants exist, allowing for the formulation of recommendations for practitioners and researchers on which determinants to consider in practice and prioritize in future research.

Bayesian monotonic errors-in-variables models with applications to pathogen susceptibility testing

description: Drug dilution (MIC) and disk diffusion (DIA) are the two most common antimicrobial susceptibility assays used by hospitals and clinics to determine an unknown pathogen's susceptibility to various antibiotics. Since only one assay is commonly used, it is important that the two assays give similar results. Calibration of the DIA assay to the MIC assay is typically done using the error-rate bounded method, which selects DIA breakpoints that minimize the observed discrepancies between the two assays. In 2000, Craig proposed a model-based approach that specifically models the measurement error and rounding processes of each assay, the underlying pathogen distribution, and the true monotonic relationship between the two assays. The two assays are then calibrated by focusing on matching the probabilities of correct classification (susceptible, indeterminant, and resistant). This approach results in greater precision and accuracy for estimating DIA breakpoints. In this paper, we expand the flexibility of the model-based method by introducing a Bayesian four-parameter logistic model (extending Craig's original three-parameter model) as well as a Bayesian nonparametric spline model to describe the relationship between the two assays. We propose two ways to handle spline knot selection, considering many equally-spaced knots but restricting overfitting via a random walk prior and treating the number and location of knots as additional unknown parameters. We demonstrate the two approaches via a series of simulation studies and apply the methods to two real data sets.
Structured channel covariance estimation from limited samples for large antenna arrays

description: In massive multiuser multiple antenna systems, the knowledge of the users’ channel covariance matrix is crucial for minimum mean square error channel estimation in the uplink and it plays an important role in several multiuser beamforming schemes in the downlink. Due to the large number of base station antennas, accurate covariance estimation is challenging especially in the case where the number of samples is limited and thus comparable to the channel vector dimension. As a result, the standard sample covariance estimator may yield a too large estimation error which in turn may yield significant system performance degradation with respect to the ideal channel covariance knowledge case. To address such problem, we propose a method based on a parametric representation of the channel angular scattering function. The proposed parametric representation includes a discrete specular component which is addressed using the well-known MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC) method, and a diffuse scattering component, which is modeled as the superposition of suitable dictionary functions. To obtain the representation parameters, we propose two methods, where the first solves a nonnegative least-squares problem and the second maximizes the likelihood function using expectation–maximization. Our simulation results show that the proposed methods outperform the state of the art with respect to various estimation quality metrics and different sample sizes.
Black Hole Remnant in Massive Gravity

description: The possibility of a nonzero graviton mass has been widely pursued in the literature. In this work we investigate a black hole solution in massive gravity with a degenerate fiducial metric often used in the literature. We find that the end state of Hawking evaporation leads to black hole remnant, which could help to ameliorate the information paradox. We prove that these remnants only exist in anti-de Sitter spacetime. Nevertheless, we speculate on their possible relevance to our Universe as dark matter candidate, in view of the possibility that our Universe could be inherently anti-de Sitter-like, with a transient accelerated expansion phase.

Searching Saturation in eA Processes

description: The high density effects should be manifest at small x and/or large nuclei. In this letter we consider the behavior of nuclear structure function $F_2^A$ slope in the kinematic region which could be explored in the future eA colliders as a search of these effects. We verify that the high density implies that the maximum value of the slope occurs at large values of the photon virtuality, i.e. in a perturbative regime, and is dependent of the number of nucleons A and energy. Our conclusion is that the measurement of this observable will allow to explicit the saturation.

description: The thesis Moondo explores the intersection of design, technology, and climate change awareness through an interactive, speculative experience. The project presents a futuristic scenario where rising sea levels, influenced by climate change and lunar gravitational forces, submerge coastal cities over time. By leveraging tangible user interfaces (TUI) and data visualization, Moondo immerses users in a digital simulation that projects the long-term effects of global warming on urban landscapes.

The objective of the project is not merely to depict climate catastrophe but to provoke critical reflection and awareness through an ironic, yet thought-provoking, approach. Moondo integrates elements of speculative and critical design, utilizing interactive maps and real-time environmental data to engage users in an experience that highlights the urgency of climate action. Through the interplay of physical and digital components, the project aims to foster a deeper understanding of climate change and its socio-political implications.

Dynamical suppression of decoherence in two-state quantum systems

description: The dynamics of a decohering two-level system driven by a suitable control Hamiltonian is studied. The control procedure is implemented as a sequence of radiofrequency pulses that repetitively flip the state of the system, a technique that can be termed quantum "bang-bang" control after its classical analog. Decoherence introduced by the system's interaction with a quantum environment is shown to be washed out completely in the limit of continuous flipping and greatly suppressed provided the interval between the pulses is made comparable to the correlation time of the environment. The model suggests a strategy to fight against decoherence that complements existing quantum error-correction techniques.
