Non-inertial interpretation of the Dirac oscillator

Non-inertial physics is seldom considered in quantum mechanics and this contrasts with the ubiquity of non-inertial reference frames. Here, we show an application to the Dirac oscillator which provides a fundamental model of relativistic quantum mechanics. The model emerges from a term linearly dependent on spatial coordinates added to the momentum of the free-particle Dirac Hamiltonian. The definition generates peculiar features (mutating vacuum energy, non-Hermitian momentum, accidental degeneracies of the spectrum, etc). We interpret these anomalies in terms of inertial effects. The demonstration is based on the decoupling of the Dirac equation from the stereographic projection that maps the 3D geometry of the dynamical problem to the complex plane. The decoupling shows that the fundamental mechanical model underpinning the Dirac oscillator reduces to the representation of the oscillator in the rotating reference frame attached to the orbital angular momentum. The resulting Coriolis-like contribution to the Hamiltonian accounts for the peculiarities of the model (mutating vacuum energy, form of the non-minimal correction to the momentum, classical intrinsic spin and gain of its quantum value, accidental degeneracies of the energy spectrum, supersymmetric potential). The suggested interpretation has an interdisciplinary character where stereographic geometry, classical physics of the Coriolis effect and quantum physics of Dirac particles contribute to the definition of one of the few exactly soluble models of relativistic quantum mechanics.

A mathematical model of the gravitational potential of the planet taking into account tidal deformations

Objectives. This paper investigates the gravitational potential of a viscoelastic planet moving in the gravitational field of a massive attracting center (star), a satellite and one or more other planets moving in Keplerian elliptical orbits relative to the attracting center. Celestial bodies other than a viscoelastic planet are modeled by material points. Within the framework of the linear model of the theory of viscoelasticity, the problem of finding the vector of elastic displacement has been resolved. Traditionally, a solid body model is used to determine the Earth’s gravitational field, while tidal deformations are taken into account in the form of small corrections to the coefficients of the geopotential model. In this work, the viscoelastic ball model is used to take into account tidal effects. The relevance of the research topic is associated with high-precision forecasting of the movement of artificial satellites of the Earth, high-precision measurement of the Earth’s gravitational field.Methods. In this study the asymptotic and analytical methods developed by V.G. Vilke are used for mechanical systems containing viscoelastic elements of high rigidity, as well as methods of classical mechanics, mathematical analysis. The graphs were plotted using the Octave mathematical package.Results. After resolving the quasi-static problem of elasticity theory by calculating triple integrals over a spherical area, a formula for the gravitational potential of a deformable planet was obtained. In addition, the gravitational potential of the Earth was also calculated taking into account solid-state tidal effects from the Moon, Sun, and Venus at an external point. Graphs were constructed to show the dependence of the Earth’s gravitational potential on time.Conclusions. The theoretical and numerical results established herein show that the main contribution to the gravitational potential of the Earth is made by the Moon and the Sun. The influence of other planets in the solar system is small. The value of the gravitational potential at the outer point of the Earth, taking into account tidal effects, depends both on the position of the point in the moving coordinate system and on the relative position of celestial bodies.

Factors influencing EFL teachers’ provision of oral corrective feedback: the role of teaching experience

ABSTRACT This study highlights critical factors influencing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ decisions to provide in-class oral corrective feedback (OCF). It explores the interplay between teachers’ individual differences – namely educational background, teaching experience, and additional training – and their decisions regarding OCF. EFL teachers in three Turkish universities each had three hours of their speaking classes recorded. A thematic analysis of stimulated recall interview data revealed that teachers’ decisions were influenced by learner-related, contextual, and teacher-specific factors. The teachers stated that they provided OCF because they believed that learners expected it. Learner-related factors such as emotions and low proficiency served as deterrents to OCF. Regarding the contextual factors, institutional expectations motivated the provision of OCF, while the nature of activities dissuaded teachers from administering OCF. The teacher factor most commonly cited as a stimulus for providing OCF was the inclination to elicit the correct form from students. The teachers were reluctant to provide OCF because they favoured delayed feedback at the end of the activity or lesson. Regression analysis of the video data revealed that only teaching experience contributed significantly to teachers’ decision-making. The role of teaching experience is discussed, and suggestions are made regarding the provision of OCF.

The impact of low-mode symmetry on inertial fusion energy output in the burning plasma state

Indirect Drive Inertial Confinement Fusion Experiments on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) have achieved a burning plasma state with neutron yields exceeding 170 kJ, roughly 3 times the prior record and a necessary stage for igniting plasmas. The results are achieved despite multiple sources of degradations that lead to high variability in performance. Results shown here, for the first time, include an empirical correction factor for mode-2 asymmetry in the burning plasma regime in addition to previously determined corrections for radiative mix and mode-1. Analysis shows that including these three corrections alone accounts for the measured fusion performance variability in the two highest performing experimental campaigns on the NIF to within error. Here we quantify the performance sensitivity to mode-2 symmetry in the burning plasma regime and apply the results, in the form of an empirical correction to a 1D performance model. Furthermore, we find the sensitivity to mode-2 determined through a series of integrated 2D radiation hydrodynamic simulations to be consistent with the experimentally determined sensitivity only when including alpha-heating.

Heat and charge transport in interacting nanoconductors driven by time-modulated temperatures

We investigate the quantum transport of the heat and the charge through a quantum dot coupled to fermionic contacts under the influence of time modulation of temperatures. We derive, within the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green’s function formalism, generic formulas for the charge and heat currents by extending the concept of gravitational field introduced by Luttinger to the dynamically driven system and by identifying the correct form of dynamical contact energy. In linear response regime our formalism is validated from satisfying the Onsager reciprocity relations and demonstrates its utility to reveal nontrivial dynamical effects of the Coulomb interaction on charge and energy relaxations.

Politically Correct 4.0: Historical causes and cultural evaluation

The current form of political correctness has many cultural roots; these explain why its underlying quest for social justice has become a dangerous ideology. This article addresses the political, religious and philosophical roots of this phenomenon. It also sets forth ways of avoiding dangerous extremism while holding onto the demands for justice often associated with political correctness.

Exact asymptotics of long-range quantum correlations in a non-equilibrium steady state

Out-of-equilibrium states of many-body systems tend to evade a description by standard statistical mechanics, and their uniqueness is epitomized by the possibility of certain long-range correlations that cannot occur in equilibrium. In quantum many-body systems, coherent correlations of this sort may lead to the emergence of remarkable entanglement structures. In this work, we analytically study the asymptotic scaling of quantum correlation measures—the mutual information (MI) and the fermionic negativity—within the zero-temperature steady state of voltage-biased free fermions on a one-dimensional lattice containing a non-interacting impurity. Previously, we have shown that two subsystems on opposite sides of the impurity exhibit volume-law entanglement, which is independent of the absolute distances of the subsystems from the impurity. Here, we go beyond that result and derive the exact form of the subleading logarithmic corrections to the extensive terms of correlation measures, in excellent agreement with numerical calculations. In particular, the logarithmic term of the MI asymptotics can be encapsulated in a concise formula, depending only on simple four-point ratios of subsystem length scales and on the impurity scattering probabilities at the Fermi energies. This echoes the case of equilibrium states, where such logarithmic terms may convey universal information about the physical system. To compute these exact results, we devise a hybrid method that relies on Toeplitz determinant asymptotics for correlation matrices in both real space and momentum space, successfully circumventing the inhomogeneity of the system. This method could potentially find wider use for analytical calculations of entanglement measures in similar scenarios.

Written Corrective Feedback and EFL Students’ Use of Prepositions, Articles, Punctuation and Capitalization

This study investigates the effect of direct and indirect written corrective feedback (WCF) on EFL students’ use of prepositions, articles, punctuation, and capitalization. The importance of focusing on WCF is due to its role in enhancing students’ writing accuracy and making their writing more suitable to their respective discourse communities. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected over a period of two months in a university in the Sultanate of Oman through pre- and post-tests including two stages of treatments. A total of 45 students voluntarily participated in the study: control group (n=15), direct group (n=15), and indirect group (n=15). While the control group (CG) received no feedback and did not receive interventions, the direct group (DG) received feedback on their pre-test, treatment one and treatment two. For DG, errors were underlined and correct forms were given immediately. The indirect group (IG) received feedback on their pre-test, treatment one and treatment two, as well, but their errors were only underlined with no corrections given to encourage students to find the correct forms themselves. The results of this study suggest that direct written corrective feedback (WCF) is more effective than indirect feedback in improving the use of prepositions, articles, punctuation, and capitalization among Omani undergraduate students majoring in literature. The control group did not show any significant improvements, indicating that written corrective feedback is necessary for improving writing skills among EFL students.

Additive In-Time Manufacturing of Customised Orthoses

Additive manufacturing of plastic components in medical technology enables greater freedom of design when designing patient-specific products, in particular, in production of customised medical products, such as orthoses. In the present contribution, the advantages of a digital process chain are combined, from the 3D scan of the patient to CAD-supported modelling of the corrective form and the orthosis design until the path planning of a printable geometry. The main disadvantages of current additive printing techniques, such as the fused filament fabrication (FFF) process, are high printing times (>12 h) for larger components as well as the low degree of freedom in the 2.5D printing technique that prevent the subsequent application of geometry features to the product. The fast SEAMHex (Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing) printing technology with a hexapod kinematic printing bed provides a solution to the mentioned difficulties. Consequently, the high-performance printer has been prepared for the individual requirements of medical technology in terms of materials and geometries. An effective additive manufacturing process has been realised and tested in combination with a digital process chain for orthosis modelling.

Extensive T1-weighted MRI preprocessing improves generalizability of deep brain age prediction models

Brain age is an estimate of chronological age obtained from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (T1w MRI), representing a straightforward diagnostic biomarker of brain aging and associated diseases. While the current best accuracy of brain age predictions on T1w MRIs of healthy subjects ranges from two to three years, comparing results across studies is challenging due to differences in the datasets, T1w preprocessing pipelines, and evaluation protocols used. This paper investigates the impact of T1w image preprocessing on the performance of four deep learning brain age models from recent literature. Four preprocessing pipelines, which differed in terms of registration transform, grayscale correction, and software implementation, were evaluated. The results showed that the choice of software or preprocessing steps could significantly affect the prediction error, with a maximum increase of 0.75 years in mean absolute error (MAE) for the same model and dataset. While grayscale correction had no significant impact on MAE, using affine rather than rigid registration to brain atlas statistically significantly improved MAE. Models trained on 3D images with isotropic 1mm3 resolution exhibited less sensitivity to the T1w preprocessing variations compared to 2D models or those trained on downsampled 3D images. Our findings indicate that extensive T1w preprocessing improves MAE, especially when predicting on a new dataset. This runs counter to prevailing research literature, which suggests that models trained on minimally preprocessed T1w scans are better suited for age predictions on MRIs from unseen scanners. We demonstrate that, irrespective of the model or T1w preprocessing used during training, applying some form of offset correction is essential to enable the model’s performance to generalize effectively on datasets from unseen sites, regardless of whether they have undergone the same or different T1w preprocessing as the training set.

Speech competence of judges' professional decisions during martial law

The article defines the importance of speaking competence of judges to ensure compliance with the requirements of current laws and regulations. Special attention is paid to the use of the Ukrainian language in practical judicial activity under the new circumstances of the administration of justice under martial law. The purpose of the article is to confirm modern approaches to deepening the speech competence of specialists in the field of law during martial law. Studying research in the field of speech competence of lawyers has shown that scientists consider various aspects of language expertise of law enforcement officers. The relevance of this research topic is due to the importance of analysis from the point of view of the level of speech competence of court decisions, especially during martial law. To conduct a speech assessment, the texts of four decisions of courts of different jurisdictions during the martial law of 2023, which are freely available, and which were randomly selected, were analyzed. The texts of the resolutions are written in business language with the necessary lexical legal content, clear and balanced. Summarized information on selected court cases according to developed criteria for speech assessment: the city of the court and its level, the date of the decision, statistical characteristics of the content by the number of words, signs and lines, grammatical, spelling, punctuation, stylistic, lexical and speech errors determined by the text of a technical nature. Identified errors are summarized and recommendations are given for the use of correct language forms according to Ukrainian spelling. Increasing the level of speech competence of specialists in the field of law in business writing is one of the important tasks of higher education, which requires the constant attention of scientific and pedagogical workers in the organizational, tactical provision of law enforcement activities during martial law.

Economic and legal responsibility for anti-competitive collected actions in the form of correction of the results of tender, bids, auctions, competitions as a manifestation of collected behavior of procurement participants

The article is devoted to consideration of the issue of coordinated behavior of participants and customers of public procurement. The need to observe the principles of competition in the public procurement procedure is substantiated. The key point in conducting procurement is compliance with the conditions of competitive selection of the procurement winner, elimination of the possibility of victory of the "necessary” participants and overcoming corruption and speculation. Regulation of public procurement mechanisms is a combination of economic and legal and administrative legal aspects. Relations that arise in the process of procurement have different aspects of legal regulation, as well as the subjects of offenses in this area can be both business entities and bodies of state power, local self-government, management and control. It has been proven that public procurement involves a competitive selection of the winner, in compliance with all other procurement principles stipulated by the Law of Ukraine "On Public Procurement”. It was emphasized that the main purpose of the Law "On Public Procurement” is to ensure effective and transparent procurement, create a competitive environment in the field of public procurement, prevent corruption and develop fair competition. Public institutions must make purchases in accordance with special requirements of confidentiality and security, as well as taking into account national interests. It is argued that today the field of public procurement is quite corrupt, and many cases of violations of the main basic principles of the Law have been recorded, which leads to the distortion of the results of tenders, trades, and auctions. Distortion occurs due to the concerted behavior of procurement participants, or participants and customers. That is, concerted actions can be vertical and horizontal, mixed and conglomerate actions can also take place. Any concerted behavior during public procurement violates the terms of competition, is prohibited and entails liability in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine. The article emphasizes that proving collusion in procurement and actually bringing violators to justice is a complex issue that requires improvement both from the point of view of theoretical points and procedural aspects. Of course, the state is interested in ensuring transparent implementation of public procurement, and this can be achieved thanks to the introduction of a clear mechanism to overcome the corruption component. It is argued that regulation and control by state bodies play an important role in this institute. The state acts as a special customer, which is an expression of public interests. The use of such a legal instrument as public procurement of goods, works and services gives the state the right to choose business entities that will fulfill the state order on the most favorable market terms, on the basis of compliance with the terms of competition. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to observe honest and fair procurement.
 Attention was drawn to the fact that overcoming a large number of conspiracies in the field of public procurement and ensuring compliance with the principles of fair competition during procurement is one of the tasks of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine, as a public procurement appeals body. However, issues of combating and implementing effective mechanisms to prevent the occurrence of collusion between public procurement entities and, as a consequence, procedural aspects regarding appeals and prosecution of offenders for concerted actions that led to the distortion of the results of tenders (tenders) remain problematic.

Bioprinting of gelatin-based materials for orthopedic application.

Bio-printed hydrogels have evolved as one of the best regenerative medicine and tissue engineering platforms due to their outstanding cell-friendly microenvironment. A correct hydrogel ink formulation is critical for creating desired scaffolds that have better fidelity after printing. Gelatin and its derivatives have sparked intense interest in various biomedical sectors because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, ease of functionalization, and rapid gelling tendency. As a result, this report emphasizes the relevance of gelatin-based hydrogel in fabricating bio-printed scaffolds for orthopedic applications. Starting with what hydrogels and bio-printing are all about. We further summarized the different gelatin-based bio-printing techniques explored for orthopedic applications, including a few recent studies. We also discussed the suitability of gelatin as a biopolymer for both 3D and 4D printing materials. As extrusion is one of the most widely used techniques for bio-printing gelatin-based, we summarize the rheological features of gelatin-based bio-ink. Lastly, we also elaborate on the recent bio-printed gelatin-based studies for orthopedics applications, the potential clinical translation issues, and research possibilities.

An analytical form of ring artifact correction for computed tomography based on directional gradient domain optimization.

Ring artifact is a common problem in Computed Tomography (CT), which can lead to inaccurate diagnoses and treatment plans. It can be caused by various factors such as detector imperfections, anti-scatter grids, or other nonuniform filters placed in the x-ray beam. Physics-based corrections for these x-ray source and detector non-uniformity, in general cannot completely get rid of the ring artifacts. Therefore, there is a need for a robust method that can effectively remove ring artifacts in the image domain while preservingdetails. This study aims to develop an effective method for removing ring artifacts from reconstructed CTimages. The proposed method starts by converting the reconstructed CT image containing ring artifacts into polar coordinates, thereby transforming these artifacts into stripes. Relative Total Variation is used to extract the image's overall structural information. For the efficient restoration of intricate details, we introduce Directional Gradient Domain Optimization (DGDO) and design objective functions that make use of both the image's gradient and its overall structure. Subsequently, we present an efficient analytical algorithm to minimize these objective functions. The image obtained through DGDO is then transformed back into Cartesian coordinates, finalizing the ring artifact correctionprocess. Through a series of synthetic and real-world experiments, we have effectively demonstrated the prowess of our proposed method in the correction of ring artifacts while preserving intricate details in reconstructed CT images. In a direct comparison, our method has exhibited superior visual quality compared to several previous approaches. These results underscore the remarkable potential of our approach for enhancing the overall quality and clinical utility of CTimaging. The proposed method offers an analytical solution for removing ring artifacts from CT images while preserving details. As ring artifacts are a common problem in CT imaging, this method has high practical value in the medical field. The proposed method can improve image quality and reduce the difficulty of disease diagnosis, thereby contributing to better patientcare.

The influence of HDBA organic complex with vitamin D and calcium on the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation of patients with osteoporosis

Objective. To study the effect of basic pathogenetic therapy of osteoporosis and nutritional support using HDBA organic complex with vitamin D and calcium on the effectiveness and duration of maintaining the effect of medical rehabilitation, bone mineral density and the incidence of falls in patients with osteoporosis. Material and methods. The study included 119 patients aged 50 to 80 years, admitted to the inpatient stage of medical rehabilitation and diagnosed with osteoporosis according to one of the three diagnostic criteria formulated in the clinical recommendations of the Russian Ministry of Health, which were randomized in 3 groups. Patients in group 1 (n=41) were prescribed pathogenetic antiresorptive therapy for osteoporosis (bisphosphonates or denosumab) for 12 months, depending on the severity and clinical features of osteoporosis, contraindications to various types of therapy and the patient’s preferences regarding the frequency and mode of administration of the drug for the treatment of osteoporosis, in combination with nutritional support of the dietary supplement Osteomed Forte, containing an organic HDBA complex with vitamin D and calcium. Patients in group 2 (n=39) were prescribed only nutritional support with the dietary supplement Osteomed Forte in the same dosage. Patients of the third group made up the comparison group (n=39), in which patients did not receive any interventions. A control examination was carried out after completion of the rehabilitation course – 20 days after inclusion in the study, as well as 6 and 12 months after the start of treatment. Results. Long-term nutritional support of patients with osteoporosis using HDBA organic complex with vitamin D and calcium helps maintain muscle strength values achieved during rehabilitation for up to 6 months, indicators of quality of life and balance for up to 12 months after completion of rehabilitation, as well as significant increase in bone mineral density after 12 months compared to the baseline: in combination with pathogenetic therapy for osteoporosis – by 4.2% in the spine, by 3.0% in the femoral neck and by 2.7% in the proximal femur, without antiresorptive therapy – by 1.8% in the spine. Conclusion. Nutritional support in the form of correction of dietary calcium deficiency and vitamin D deficiency and the prescription of pathogenetic therapy for osteoporosis should be a mandatory part of complex rehabilitation measures in patients with osteoporosis to increase bone mineral density, improve efficiency and long-term maintenance of the results of medical rehabilitation.

Renormalized Kalb-Ramond model: Duality and generalized potential

Considering the recent advances, the weak correlation between the massive Kalb-Ramond and the Proca models is investigated using a set of complementary quantum field techniques beyond the semi-classical approach. A consistent framework to discuss the abrupt degree of freedom variation in the massless limit is established. In this manner, the Stueckelberg procedure is generalized for the present case to derive Ward-Takahashi constraints even for the massive case. By adding couplings with fermionic matter fields, even the weak dual correlation is broken due to the explicit form of the radiative corrections. However, considering the master action approach, the fermionic 1(PI) functions of the Proca electrodynamics are reproduced in all orders of perturbation. A well-defined procedure to eliminate non-desirable extra modes induced by the quantum corrections is successfully applied to this model. Last but not least, we prove that this structure can also provide a spin-dependent interaction that is relevant even at macroscopic distances, being a completion for a recently proposed confining potential.

Development of an application prototype for nutritional supplements of beef cattle in the dry season aimed for rural producers

During the dry season of the year, tropical grasses have low nutritional value and protein content lower than the minimum value of 7.0% in dry matter so that microorganisms can use the fibrous energy substrates of ingested fodder. The viability of beef cattle directly depends on the economy at scale, as it operates with ever-lower profit margins. As animal performance in these conditions becomes unsatisfactory, it is recommended to supply supplements, always considering the technical-economic point of view. Thus, we performed the correction of the nutritional deficiencies of the pasture via supplementation allowing the continuity or even better performances, allowing the reduction of the production cycle and the age of slaughter of the animals. Thus, the search for the reduction of production costs should depend not only on the lower cost of food, but also on systems, structures or even simple and objective applications that allow the producer to choose the best supplement. Thus, this dissertation aims to develop an application prototype for nutritional supplements of beef cattle in the dry season aimed at rural producers a program of easy access, which with little information collected in the field, will provide an ideal product with the correct formulation and necessary for the proper maintenance and continuity of production of the animals.

Communication Gaps in Georgian Palliative Medicine: Ethical and Legal Review

Introduction: Difficulties in communication, decision-making, and end-of-life management have emerged in the implementation of palliative care in recent decades. The imperfection of ethical issues was also highlighted. This fact is confirmed once again by a study conducted by the oncology department of the Batumi High-technology Hospital, which aimed to study the adequate perception of existing oral pathologies by patients under palliative care and their impact on the quality of life.
 Aim: We aimed to discuss the mentioned problem within the framework of bioethics and Georgian legislation.
 Methods: Despite the few amount of literary sources, we tried to discuss the mentioned issue based on Georgian legislation and also existing literature.
 Conclusion: Thus, as we mention in medical activities there are cases when the real diagnosis is not told to the patient for ,,his favor'', also there are cases when an inappropriate diagnosis is made, which can lead the patient to a fatal condition. In this case, the patient can civilly protect his rights.
 The best option is to provide the patient with information in the correct form so that it does not mean the end of the world and does not cause depression in him. The patient should be able to pass the last stage of life peacefully and with dignity.
