description: The resistivity of different films and structures containing fluorinated graphene (FG) flakes and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown graphene of various fluorination degrees under tensile and compressive strains due to bending deformations was studied. Graphene and multilayer graphene films grown by means of the CVD method were transferred onto the flexible substrate by laminating and were subjected to fluorination. They demonstrated a weak fluorination degree (F/C lower 20%). Compressive strains led to a strong (one-two orders of magnitude) decrease in the resistivity in both cases, which was most likely connected with the formation of additional conductive paths through fluorinated graphene. Tensile strain up to 3% caused by the bending of both types of CVD-grown FG led to a constant value of the resistivity or to an irreversible increase in the resistivity under repeated strain cycles. In the case of the structures with the FG thin film printed on polyvinyl alcohol, a stable bipolar resistive switching was observed up to 6.5% of the tensile strain (bending radius was 2 mm). The excellent performance of the crossbar memristor structures under tensile strain shows that the FG films and structures created from suspension are especially promising for flexible electronics.

description: Nonparametric estimation of probability density functions, both marginal and joint densities, is a very useful tool in statistics. The kernel method is popular and applicable to dependent data, including time series and spatial data. But at least for the joint density, one has had to assume that data are observed at regular time intervals or on a regular grid in space. Though this is not very restrictive in the time series case, it often is in the spatial case. In fact, to a large degree it has precluded applications of nonparametric methods to spatial data because such data often are irregularly positioned over space. In this article, we propose nonparametric kernel estimators for both the marginal and in particular the joint probability density functions for nongridded spatial data. Large sample distributions of the proposed estimators are established under mild conditions, and a new framework of expanding-domain infill asymptotics is suggested to overcome the shortcomings of spatial asymptotics in the existing literature. A practical, reasonable selection of the bandwidths on the basis of cross-validation is also proposed. We demonstrate by both simulations and real data examples of moderate sample size that the proposed methodology is effective and useful in uncovering nonlinear spatial dependence for general, including non-Gaussian, distributions.

description: A scoping literature review of mindfulness-based interventions for adult civilian populations exposed for trauma, and suggestions for the direction of future research
description: Aim: Meditation, mindfulness, and yoga interventions have been shown to be promising treatments for mental illness, including posttraumatic stress disorder. The purpose of this scoping review is to synthesize studies investigating the effects of meditation and yoga interventions for non-veterans and non-military personnel recovering from traumatic life events and to compare the efficacy and the conditions in which the interventions were implemented. Method: A structured search of PubMed and four EBSCO Databases (PsycINFO, Academic Search Ultimate, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus) was conducted using a combination of free text keywords and controlled vocabulary terms. Eligible studies were included if: (1) treatment is specifically a form of meditation, mind-body therapy, or yoga (2) study participants were reported to have experienced a traumatic life event, (3) study population includes at least 20 subjects, (4) studies measured changes in PTSD symptomology through qualitative or quantitative measures, and (5) studies were published between 2000 and 2020 in English, peer-reviewed journals. Results: Of the 1,583 articles identified in the initial search, 919 titles and abstracts were reviewed after duplicates have been removed. 26 articles met the inclusion criteria. Seventeen studies found significant reductions in PTSD symptomology in participants enrolled in a meditation or yoga intervention. Four found qualitative improvements in symptoms and quality of life in participants. Five found no significant differences between participants in the intervention compared to the control. Sixteen of the interventions were performed in a group setting, nine included group and individual components, and only one was entirely individual. Conclusions: Meditation, mindfulness, and/or yoga interventions have great potential for reduction of PTSD symptomology in trauma-exposed civilian populations. However, environmental conditions including trauma-informed yoga instruction and a group or personal intervention are not highly considered in these studies. Further studies investigating the consideration of the environment for practicing mindfulness interventions are needed to determine how mindfulness interventions can be most effective and trauma-sensitive for participants.

description: Existing estimation methods for ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are not applicable to discrete data. The generalized ODE (GODE) model is therefore proposed and investigated for the first time. We develop the likelihood-based parameter estimation and inference methods for GODE models. We propose robust computing algorithms and rigorously investigate the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator by considering both measurement errors and numerical errors in solving ODEs. The simulation study and application of our methods to an influenza viral dynamics study suggest that the proposed methods have a superior performance in terms of accuracy over the existing ODE model estimation approach and the extended smoothing-based (ESB) method.

description: Following the work by Eicker, Huber, and White it is common in empirical work to report standard errors that are robust against general misspecification. In a regression setting, these standard errors are valid for the parameter that minimizes the squared difference between the conditional expectation and a linear approximation, averaged over the population distribution of the covariates. Here, we discuss an alternative parameter that corresponds to the approximation to the conditional expectation based on minimization of the squared difference averaged over the sample, rather than the population, distribution of the covariates. We argue that in some cases this may be a more interesting parameter. We derive the asymptotic variance for this parameter, which is generally smaller than the Eicker–Huber–White robust variance, and propose a consistent estimator for this asymptotic variance.

description: This article develops a nonparametric methodology for treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under treatment endogeneity and missing outcomes. We use instrumental variables, pretreatment characteristics, and short-term (or intermediate) outcomes to identify the average treatment effect on the outcomes of compliers (the subpopulation whose treatment reacts on the instrument) in multiple periods based on inverse probability weighting. Treatment selection and attrition may depend on both observed characteristics and the unobservable compliance type, which is possibly related to unobserved factors. We also provide a simulation study and apply our methods to the evaluation of a policy intervention targeting college achievement, where we find that controlling for attrition considerably affects the effect estimates.

description: This article estimates models of high-frequency index futures returns using “around-the-clock” 5-min returns that incorporate the following key features: multiple persistent stochastic volatility factors, jumps in prices and volatilities, seasonal components capturing time of the day patterns, correlations between return and volatility shocks, and announcement effects. We develop an integrated MCMC approach to estimate interday and intraday parameters and states using high-frequency data without resorting to various aggregation measures like realized volatility. We provide a case study using financial crisis data from 2007 to 2009, and use particle filters to construct likelihood functions for model comparison and out-of-sample forecasting from 2009 to 2012. We show that our approach improves realized volatility forecasts by up to 50% over existing benchmarks and is also useful for risk management and trading applications.

description: This paper discusses a special kind of a simple yet possibly powerful algorithm, called single-kernel Gradraker (SKG), which is an adaptive learning method predicting unknown nodal values in a network using known nodal values and the network structure. We aim to find out how to configure the special kind of the model in applying the algorithm. To be more specific, we focus on SKG with a Gaussian kernel and specify how to find a suitable variance for the kernel. To do so, we introduce two variables with which we are able to set up requirements on the variance of the Gaussian kernel to achieve (near-) optimal performance and can better understand how SKG works. Our contribution is that we introduce two variables as analysis tools, illustrate how predictions will be affected under different Gaussian kernels, and provide an algorithm finding a suitable Gaussian kernel for SKG with knowledge about the training network. Simulation results on real datasets are provided.

description: Managing subscription journals and open access charges together has created challenges which may in part be dealt with by offsetting the two revenue streams against each other. In order to do this, it is necessary to have reliable financial data about the extent of the two interacting markets. Jisc has been undertaking data collection regarding universities' article publication charge (APC) expenditure. This process is difficult without a standardized way of recording data, so Jisc has developed a standard data collection template and is helping institutions to release data openly. If available data become more comprehensive and transparent, then all parties (libraries, publishers, research funders, and intermediaries) will have better knowledge of the APC market and can more accurately predict the effects of offsetting.

description: The rise of the Internet of Everything lifestyle in the last decade has had a significant impact on the increased emergence and adoption of online learning in almost all countries across the world. E-learning 3.0 is expected to become the norm of learning globally in almost all sectors in the next few years. The pervasiveness of the Semantic Web powered by the Internet of Everything lifestyle is expected to play a huge role towards seamless and faster adoption of the emerging paradigms of E-learning 3.0. Therefore, this paper presents an exploratory study to analyze multimodal components of Semantic Web behavior data to investigate the emergence of online learning in different countries across the world. The work specifically involved investigating relevant web behavior data to interpret the 5 W's and 1 H - Who, What, When Where, Why, and How related to online learning. Based on studying the E-learning Index of 2021, the study was performed for all the countries that are member states of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The results presented and discussed help to interpret the emergence of online learning in each of these countries in terms of the associated public perceptions, queries, opinions, behaviors, and perspectives. Furthermore, to support research and development in this field, we have published the web behavior-based Big Data related to online learning that was mined for all these 38 countries, in the form of a dataset, which is avail-able at https://dx.doi.org/10.21227/xbvs-0198.

description: Background: BRAF gene encodes a serine-threonine kinase that inhibits the RAS/MAPK intracellular pathway. BRAF mutations occur at an early stage of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), and their presence, 10-20% of CRC, is usually associated with inferior prognosis.
Methods: From 41 consecutive CRC confirmed referrals (age 43-93, mean age=70.2, SD=12.97, Male=21, Female=20) from the 2 week wait cancer pathway (2009-2013), we retrospectively collected data from the symptoms at presentation, haemoglobin, ferritin and investigations' outcome including TNM stage. Gene profile analysis data (KRAS, Microsatellite Instability -MSI, BRAF) were retrospectively collected and associated with the presentation profile above. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS software based on X2Fischer's Exact Test.
Results: BRAF V600E is significantly associated with right-sided CRC (p=0.015). Also there is an association between unexplained IDA at the stage of presentation and BRAF V600E mutation (p=0.007). There was no statistical significant difference between KRAS and BRAF status (p=0.529), BRAF and TNM stage (p=0.515 for T stage, p=1.000 for N stage and p=1.000 for M stage). MSI-High tumours tend to be associated with BRAF V600E mutation (p=0.05 spearman's rho with correlation coefficient -0.531 N=1)
Conclusion: BRAF V600E mutation could be associated with right-sided tumours and subsequently related unexplained IDA at the stage of presentation. Further research should be conducted in order to dichotomize the impact of tumour location and IDA on BRAF gene status separately. mutations and microsatellite instability phenotype predict specific anatomical subsite in colorectal cancer patients.

description: The United States of America has been the worst affected country in terms of the number of cases and deaths on account of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19, a highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus that started spreading globally in late 2019. On account of the surge of infections, accompanied by hospitalizations and deaths due to COVID-19, and lack of a definitive cure at that point, a national emergency was declared in the United States on March 13, 2020. To prevent the rapid spread of the virus, several states declared stay at home and remote work guidelines shortly after this declaration of an emergency. Such guidelines caused schools, colleges, and universities, both private and public, in all the 50-United States to switch to remote or online forms of teaching for a significant period of time. As a result, Google, the most widely used search engine in the United States, experienced a surge in online shopping of remote learning-based software, systems, applications, and gadgets by both educators and students from all the 50-United States, due to both these groups responding to the associated needs and demands related to switching to remote teaching and learning. This paper aims to investigate, analyze, and interpret these trends of Google Shopping related to remote learning that emerged since March 13, 2020, on account of COVID-19 and the subsequent remote learning adoption in almost all schools, colleges, and universities, from all the 50-United States. The study was performed using Google Trends, which helps to track and study Google Shopping-based online activity emerging from different geolocations. The results and discussions show that the highest interest related to Remote Learning-based Google Shopping was recorded from Oregon, which was followed by Illinois, Florida, Texas, California, and the other states.

description: We present timing solutions of PSR B0950+08, using 14 years of observations at Nanshan 26-m Radio Telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory. The braking index of PSR B0950+08 varies from --367 392 to 168 883, which shows an oscillation with large amplitude ($\sim 10^5$) and uncertainty. Considering the variation of braking indices and the most probable kinematic age of PSR B0950+08, a model withe long-term magnetic field decay modulated by short-term oscillations is proposed to explain the timing data. With this magnetic field decay model, we discuss the spin and thermal evolution of PSR B0950+08. The uncertainties of its age are also considered. The results show that three-component oscillations are the more reasonable for the spin-frequency derivative distributions of PSR B0950+08, and the initial spin period of PSR B0950+08 must be shorter than $97\rm\ ms$ when the age is equal to the lower bound of its kinematic age. The standard cooling model could explain the surface temperature of PSR B0950+08 with its most probable kinematic age. Vortex creep heating with a long-term magnetic field decay could maintain a relatively high temperature at the later stages of evolution and explain the thermal emission data of old and warm pulsars. Coupling with the long-term magnetic field decay, an explanation of the temperature of PSR B0950+08 with roto-chemical heating needs an implausibly short initial rotation period ($P_0 \lesssim 17\rm{ ms}$). The spin and thermal evolution of pulsars should be studied simultaneously. Future timing, ultraviolet or X-ray observations are essential for studying the evolution and interior properties of pulsars.

description: Background: BRAF gene encodes a serine-threonine kinase that inhibits the RAS/MAPK intracellular pathway. BRAF mutations occur at an early stage of colorectal carcinoma (CRC), and their presence, 10-20% of CRC, is usually associated with inferior prognosis.
Methods: From 41 consecutive CRC confirmed referrals (age 43-93, mean age=70.2, SD=12.97, Male=21, Female=20) from the 2 week wait cancer pathway (2009-2013), we retrospectively collected data from the symptoms at presentation, haemoglobin, ferritin and investigations' outcome including TNM stage. Gene profile analysis data (KRAS, Microsatellite Instability -MSI, BRAF) were retrospectively collected and associated with the presentation profile above. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS software based on X2Fischer's Exact Test.
Results: BRAF V600E is significantly associated with right-sided CRC (p=0.015). Also there is an association between unexplained IDA at the stage of presentation and BRAF V600E mutation (p=0.007). There was no statistical significant difference between KRAS and BRAF status (p=0.529), BRAF and TNM stage (p=0.515 for T stage, p=1.000 for N stage and p=1.000 for M stage). MSI-High tumours tend to be associated with BRAF V600E mutation (p=0.05 spearman's rho with correlation coefficient -0.531 N=1)
Conclusion: BRAF V600E mutation could be associated with right-sided tumours and subsequently related unexplained IDA at the stage of presentation. Further research should be conducted in order to dichotomize the impact of tumour location and IDA on BRAF gene status separately. mutations and microsatellite instability phenotype predict specific anatomical subsite in colorectal cancer patients.

description: The apprehension, confiscation and in most cases destruction of approximately 2000 Indonesian fishing boats for breaches to Australian fishing regulations since 1980, has arguably been one of the most taxing aspects of Australia’s bilateral relations with Indonesia. Together with the influx in refugee arrivals by boat onto the Australian coast, the media representations of these ‘illegal’ vessels constitute a major element of the visible history of Australia’s relations with one of its nearest neighbours. Against this broad background of geo-politics, border protection and diminishing marine resources, this thesis explores the histories and transformative processes entailed in the apprehension, acquisition and display of three fishing boats that escaped destruction and found their way into the permanent collections of three Australian museums. Previous studies of Indonesian boats have usually focused on architectural, technological, or economic perspectives. This study is the first of its kind to look at Indonesian boats and their significance as museum objects. Using a case study approach, the ethno-histories and provenance of the three sloops, or perahu lambo as they are known in Indonesia, are researched and examined. Their museum histories, the process of acquisition, transformation and display are also described, in order to better understand their significance as artefacts that have entered the museum environment from their largely unknown ‘lives’ in eastern Indonesia. This thesis, therefore, examines some of the implications these boat histories have for current museum debates on curatorial practice, acquisition, display and the question of significance and ultimately what justifies their continued existence in museum collections.

description: A chaotic dynamics is typically characterized by the emergence of strange attractors with their fractal or multifractal structure. On the other hand, chaotic synchronization is a unique emergent self-organization phenomenon in nature. Classically, synchronization was characterized in terms of macroscopic parameters, such as the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents. Recently, however, we attempted a microscopic description of synchronization, called topological synchronization, and showed that chaotic synchronization is, in fact, a continuous process that starts in low-density areas of the attractor. Here we analyze the relation between the two emergent phenomena by shifting the descriptive level of topological synchronization to account for the multifractal nature of the visited attractors. Namely, we measure the generalized dimension of the system and monitor how it changes while increasing the coupling strength. We show that during the gradual process of topological adjustment in phase space, the multifractal structures of each strange attractor of the two coupled oscillators continuously converge, taking a similar form, until complete topological synchronization ensues. According to our results, chaotic synchronization has a specific trait in various systems, from continuous systems and discrete maps to high dimensional systems: synchronization initiates from the sparse areas of the attractor, and it creates what we termed as the zipper effect, a distinctive pattern in the multifractal structure of the system that reveals the microscopic buildup of the synchronization process. Topological synchronization offers, therefore, a more detailed microscopic description of chaotic synchronization and reveals new information about the process even in cases of high mismatch parameters.

description: Forest fires affect Portugal and other southern European countries to a greater or lesser extent every year, causing severe environmental, social, and economic damage. This research is based upon the analysis of the results of a case study on the technical and social perceptions of multiple dimensions of forest fires in Portugal, which brings together the views and perspectives of different entities with expertise in forest management and in forest protection against fires, forest owners, and members of the public. Assessing perceptions of forest fires has proved to be relevant when it comes to a greater involvement of the local population in forest management. The results show that the opinions of local respondents were consensual in identifying crime as the main cause of the forest fires. Additionally, it is the repeated failure to clean the forest biomass which cause the rapid spread of forest fires. Damage caused to the environment was more of an issue with the local forestry technicians, and economic issues were at the forefront for the local community. Various solutions were put forward to mitigate these problems, but everyone agreed that cleaning the forests biomass and punishing arsonists should be at the top of the list of priorities.

description: The "Decentralised Web" (DW) is an evolving concept, which encompasses technologies aimed at providing greater transparency and openness on the web. The DW relies on independent servers (aka instances) that mesh together in a peer-to-peer fashion to deliver a range of services (e.g. micro-blogs, image sharing, video streaming). However, toxic content moderation in this decentralised context is challenging. This is because there is no central entity that can define toxicity, nor a large central pool of data that can be used to build universal classifiers. It is therefore unsurprising that there have been several high-profile cases of the DW being misused to coordinate and disseminate harmful material. Using a dataset of 9.9M posts from 117K users on Pleroma (a popular DW microblogging service), we quantify the presence of toxic content. We find that toxic content is prevalent and spreads rapidly between instances. We show that automating per-instance content moderation is challenging due to the lack of sufficient training data available and the effort required in labelling. We therefore propose and evaluate ModPair, a model sharing system that effectively detects toxic content, gaining an average per-instance macro-F1 score 0.89.
