Abstract Accurate and reliable calibration of the Advanced LIGO detectors has enabled a plethora of gravitational-wave discoveries in the detectors' first decade of operation, starting with the ground-breaking discovery, GW150914. In the first decade of operation, the calibrated strain data from Advanced LIGO detectors has become available at a lower latency and with more reliability. In this paper, we discuss the relevant history of Advanced LIGO calibration and introduce new tools that have been developed to enable faster and more robust calibrated strain data products in the fourth observing run (O4). 
We discuss improvements to the robustness, reliability, and accuracy of the low-latency calibration pipeline as well as the development of a new tool for monitoring the LIGO detector calibration in real time.

NASA’s Juno mission, involving a pioneering spacecraft the size of a basketball court, has been instrumental in observing Jupiter’s atmosphere and surface from orbit since it reached the intended orbit. Over its first decade of operation, Juno has provided unprecedented insights into the solar system’s origins through advanced remote sensing and technological innovations. This study focuses on change detection in terms of Juno’s trajectory, leveraging cutting-edge data computing techniques to analyze its orbital dynamics. Utilizing 3D position and velocity time series data from NASA, spanning 11 years and 5 months (August 2011 to January 2023), with 5.5 million samples at 1 min accuracy, we examine the spacecraft’s trajectory modifications. The instantaneous average acceleration, jerk, and snap are computed as approximations of the first, second, and third derivatives of velocity, respectively. The Hilbert transform is employed to visualize the spectral properties of Juno’s non-stationary 3D movement, enabling the detection of extreme events caused by varying forces. Two unsupervised machine learning algorithms, DBSCAN and OPTICS, are applied to cluster the sampling events in two 3D state spaces: (velocity, acceleration, jerk) and (acceleration, jerk, snap). Our results demonstrate that the OPTICS algorithm outperformed DBSCAN in terms of the outlier detection accuracy across all three operational phases (OP1, OP2, and OP3), achieving accuracies of 99.3%, 99.1%, and 98.9%, respectively. In contrast, DBSCAN yielded accuracies of 98.8%, 98.2%, and 97.4%. These findings highlight OPTICS as a more effective method for identifying outliers in elliptical orbit data, albeit with higher computational resource requirements and longer processing times. This study underscores the significance of advanced machine learning techniques in enhancing our understanding of complex orbital dynamics and their implications for planetary exploration.

Abstract In this article, we present considerations about orality as a legitimate source of knowledge for understanding the historical processes that involve the (mathematics) education of rural people in Brazil, and we also deal with the potential of Oral History as a theoretical-methodological resource, suggested by and perceived from investigations carried out in the state of Paraná, to understand, elaborate and record stories of rural schools. We also consider the challenges and possibilities that these studies show when they practice Oral History and place it as a powerful methodology for studies in the History of Mathematics Education, whose primary object of analysis is rural educational institutions. To this end, we chose to present four historiographical researches, which recorded historical versions of rural schools in the state of Paraná, at different times: one of them investigated a Rural Schoolhouse and proposed to elaborate a narrative about the first decade of operation of this school institution (1961-1971); another research considered studying a Rural School Group (1947-1977) and the other two researches deal with Itinerant Schools, one of which is no longer in operation (2009-2016) and the other is still traveling, as it is located in a camp (2008-current days).

Abstract This article explores the early queer history of the Mexico City Metro (from its planning stages in the late 1960s—and especially the subway's embeddedness in the political and sexual repression emblematized by the student massacres of 1968 and 1971—through its first decade of operation). Drawing evidence from a variety of sources—literary works, essays and chronicles, newspaper accounts, and popular music, as well as from biographies of the planners of the Metro—the article argues that, from its inception, the Metro was understood by the state and by sexual-political dissidents as a mechanism for political and sexual control. But as the Metro more efficiently connected upper-class neighborhoods with of barrios populares, the Metro gradually became a zone of queer rebellion.

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to contribute to knowledge about the diversity of credibility arrangements in new audit spaces “in the margins” of auditing and the implications of such arrangements.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on an in-depth qualitative study of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) rights certification run by the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex Rights (RFSL) during its first decade of operation. We have interviewed employees and studied documents at the certification units within the RFSL. We have also interviewed certified organizations.FindingsWe highlight two features that explain the unusual credibility arrangements in this audit practice: the role of beneficiaries in the organizational arrangements chosen and the role of responsibility as an organizing value with consequences for responsibility allocation in this certification. These features make it possible for the RFSL to act as a credible auditor even though it deviates from common arrangements for credible audits.Originality/valueThe RFSL certification is different in several ways. First, the RFSL acts as both a trainer and an auditor. Second, the trainers/auditors at the RFSL have no accreditation to guarantee their credibility. Third, the RFSL decides for itself what standards should apply for the certification and adapts these standards to the operation being audited. Therefore, this case provides a good opportunity to study alternative credibility arrangements in the margins of auditing as well as their justifications.

This case describes the growth of ReNew Power during its first decade of operation. Sumant Sinha, a first-generation entrepreneur and former banker, founded the company, which grew from a modest generator-cum-developer of wind energy-based electricity to one of India's largest companies in the renewable energy sector. With the entry of large, well-funded players such as Tata Power and Adani Green into the Indian renewable sector by the end of 2020, Sinha had to make a strategic decision: should ReNew continue to organically scale up its presence in an increasingly competitive yet expanding Indian renewable energy sector, should it diversify geographically, or should it pursue emerging opportunities for vertical or horizontal integration within the sector? The case provides an opportunity to discuss how alternative business models and competitive scenarios may facilitate or inhibit the growth of a player in the renewable energy sector.

ABSTRACT The second Fermi/LAT gamma-ray burst (GRB) Catalogue (2FLGC) spanning the first decade of operations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) collaboration was recently released. The closure relations of the synchrotron forward shock (FS) model are not able to reproduce a sizeable portion of the afterglow-phase light curves in this collection, indicating that there may be a large contribution from some other mechanism. Recently, synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) light curves from the reverse shock (RS) regions were derived in the thick- and thin-shell regimes for a constant-density medium, and it was demonstrated that analytical light curves could explain the GeV flare observed in several bursts from 2FLGC, including GRB 160509A. Here, we generalize the SSC RS scenario from the constant density to a stratified medium, and show that this contribution helps to describe the early light curves exhibited in some Fermi/LAT-detected bursts. As a particular case, we model a sample of eight bursts that exhibited a short-lasting emission with the synchrotron and SSC model from FS and RS regions, evolving in a stellar-wind environment, constraining the microphysical parameters, the circumburst density, the bulk Lorentz factor, and the fraction of shock-accelerated electrons. We demonstrate that the highest energy photons can only be described by the SSC from the FS region.

ResumenEn México, la decidida y sistemática participación de la sociedad civil en lalucha contra la tuberculosis inició en 1939, al crearse el Comité Nacional deLucha contra la Tuberculosis. Su plural conformación y las labores que desempeñóle distinguieron de las asociaciones y de ligas antituberculosas creadas endécadas previas en diferentes países de las Américas. En este artículo sepresentará un primer acercamiento a la plural conformación de ese organismo y seestudiarán algunas de las acciones que impulsó durante su primera década defuncionamiento, un momento en el que también fue particularmente prolífica lacoexistencia de diferentes terapéuticas para tratar a los individuos con esaenfermedad.

ABSTRACT This experience report aims to present the professional practices of psychologists who were members of the first multidisciplinary team of a municipal education system located in the North of the State of Rio de Janeiro throughout its first decade of operation (2011-2021). In order of events, the experiences and challenges of this pioneering service are presented in the events order. Likewise, the construction of an institutional mapping and the inauguration of an Institutional Duty service are reported, through which it was possible to determine school inclusion and student retention as scopes of psychological interventions. As a result, it was realized that psychologists must be aware of the mistaken expectations about their professional duties and the discourses that blame teachers and students, so that they can act to promote quality public education for all in partnership with other actors in the educational process field.

Purpose: In 2006, WHO declared sickle cell disease (SCD) as a global public health priority and recommended the development of Reference Centers in the sub-Saharan African region where the disease affects 1 to 2% of births. In Mali, the birth rate was estimated at 714,000 per year and the incidence of sickle cell anemia (homozygous SS + S/β-thalassemia + SC), at 0.8% of live births. To begin to adress the issue of reducing the burden of the SCD in Mali, a Sickle Cell Research and Control Center was established in Bamako in 2010. This presentation, reports the experience of the first decade of operation of this Center. Materials and methods: Through the circumstances of its creation, the principle of operation and the results acquired by the Center in ten years of functioning, we make an analysis on the possible future orientations to optimize the management of sickle cell disease in sub-Saharan Africa by the Reference Centers. Results: The « Centre de Recherche et de Lutte contre la Drépanocytose (CRLD) » was established as a result of coordinated efforts by the Government of Mali, SCD patients association, and a consortium of partners led by Pierre Fabre foundation. The assigned objectives were: to support access to quality care with equity, to develop medical research on sickle cell disease, to train medical personnel on sickle cell disease, to develop education, information and communication on the disease, to promote national and international collaboration (South-South, North-South). In order to ensure an equitable access to care, the center provides treatment with no consideration of the financial status of the family. Since March 2010, when the Center began its activities, 956 patients from the first year to 10745 sickle cell patients in 2019 have been recruited and are being provided with regular follow-up and access to treatment. Sickle cell mortality assessed in 2016 was estimated at 0.035 per 100 person-years (0.040 per 100 person-years before 5 years). In terms of research, 44 research protocol have been conducted and 26 scientific papers were published. Within the framework of an university degree, the Center has trained 126 physicians from 12 French-speaking countries in East and West Africa, Madagascar and Haiti. More than 300 communications relays were trained. Conclusion: If the growing increase in patients recruitment has shown the validity of the creation of the Center with satisfactory results in the support of specific care, the results of some of its asigned objectives have remained below expectations. We propose a new approach for the management of sickle cell disease in sub-Saharan Africa that follows a pyramid-schape of healthcare services. The authors do not declare any conflict of interest

The general objective of the article is to describe the non-repetition measures ordered by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR Court) against Colombia, a country that is part of the Latin American States that have had truth commissions as a complementary source to the judicial processes to achieve the clarification of the facts of the internal armed conflict. The result is achieved through the development of qualitative, basic, and legal research, which uses the deductive and inductive ana-lytical method, and focuses its analysis on the international practice of the Inter-American System. It is concluded that these bodies have rec-ommended measures of non-repetition for the violation of the normative precepts established in the American Convention on Human Rights in the framework of the individual petition mechanism. It should be noted that during the first decade of operation of the IACHR and the IACHR Court, that is, in the 1987-1996 period, there was only one explicit order related to measures of non-repetition; on the contrary, these were constant dur-ing the decisions of the last decade, comprising the 2011-2020 period.

The IceCube neutrino telescope discovered PeV-energy neutrinos originating beyond our Galaxy with an energy flux that is comparable to that of GeV-energy gamma rays and EeV-energy cosmic rays. These neutrinos provide the only unobstructed view of the cosmic accelerators that power the highest energy radiation reaching us from the universe. We will review the results from IceCube’s first decade of operations, emphasizing the measurement of the diffuse multiflavored neutrino flux from the universe and the identification of the supermassive black hole TXS [Formula: see text] as a source of cosmic neutrinos and, therefore, cosmic rays. We will speculate on the lessons learned for multimessenger astronomy, among them that extragalactic neutrino sources may be a relatively small subset of the cosmic accelerators observed in high-energy gamma rays and that these may be gamma-ray-obscured at the times that they emit neutrinos.

Neutrino Astronomy The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is designed to observe the cosmos from deep within the South Pole ice. In article number 2100309, Francis Halzen reviews the results from IceCube's first decade of operations. The cover image illustrates the light pattern recorded by IceCube that is radiated by a particle shower created by the Glashow resonance. Colored dots represent light sensors that detect photons. Their color indicates arrival time, from red (early) to purple (late) following the rainbow, and their size reflects the number of photons detected.

Abstract The IceCube project transformed a cubic kilometer of transparent natural Antarctic ice into a Cherenkov detector. It discovered PeV‐energy neutrinos originating beyond our galaxy with an energy flux that is comparable to that of GeV‐energy gamma rays and EeV‐energy cosmic rays. These neutrinos provide the only unobstructed view of the cosmic accelerators that power the highest energy radiation reaching us from the universe. The results from IceCube's first decade of operations, foremost the measurement of the diffuse neutrino flux from the universe using multiple techniques is reviewed. The multimessenger data that identified the supermassive black hole TXS 0506+056 as a source of cosmic neutrinos is subsequently reviewed and attention is drawn to accumulating indications that cosmic neutrinos are associated with gamma‐ray‐obscured active galaxies, that is, the energy in gamma rays that accompanies cosmic neutrinos emerges at MeV energies, or below. Reaching beyond 10 PeV energy, cosmic neutrinos provide a natural beam to study neutrinos themselves.

ABSTRACT The γ-ray emission from stars is induced by the interaction of cosmic rays with stellar atmospheres and photon fields. This emission is expected to come in two components: a stellar disc emission, where γ-rays are mainly produced in atmospheric showers generated by hadronic cosmic rays, and an extended halo emission, where the high density of soft photons in the surroundings of stars create a suitable environment for γ-ray production via inverse Compton (IC) scattering by cosmic ray electrons. Besides the Sun, no other disc or halo from single stars has ever been detected in γ-rays. However, by assuming a cosmic ray spectrum similar to that observed on Earth, the predicted γ-ray emission of superluminous stars, e.g. Betelgeuse and Rigel, could be high enough to be detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) after its first decade of operations. In this work, we use 12 yr of Fermi-LAT observations along with IC models to study nine superluminous nearby stars, both individually and via stacking analysis. Our results show no significant γ-ray emission, but allow us to restrict the stellar γ-ray fluxes to be on average <3.3 × 10−11 ph cm−2 s−1 at a 3σ confidence level, which translates to an average local density of electrons in the surroundings of our targets to be less than twice of that observed for the Solar system.

Abstract With an area of 6,200 km2, the Gilbués badlands region in the Brazilian drylands is the largest desertification site in the Country. It is located upstream the Boa Esperança Hydroelectric Power Plant and is contiguous to an important Brazilian agricultural area. However, primary quantitative data on erosive processes are scarce or nonexistent. We analyzedon‐sitedata (2018–2019) concerning small‐scale (hillslope and micro basin) processes: inter‐rill gross erosion, vegetation coverage factor, sediment yield, and sediment delivery ratio. We measured gross erosion in four hillslopes using metal pins; rainfall erosivity using an automatic meteorological station; soil erodibility; and siltation of five check‐dams that control micro basins (101–103 m2) by means of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Gross erosion (102 Mg ha−1yr−1; 7.5 mm yr−1) is up to 100‐fold the regional mean value and up to 45‐times the tolerable soil‐loss reference value (0.17 mm yr−1), showing that degradation still evolves. Sparse small vegetation directly exposes two thirds of the soil, with a high vegetation factor (0.90). The sediment delivery ratio of the micro basins is 0.88, compatible with low (12%) sediment‐deposition pattern at this scale. The Maner delivery‐ratio model mimicked field observation, which indicates that relief is the key element influencing sediment deposition there. The check‐dam effectiveness considerably decreased after the first decade of operation due to high siltation rates. Although the Gilbués badland occupies only 5% of the basin upstream of the power plant, it contributes 32% of the sediment load to reservoir and dam. This shows the relevance of the badland restoration for the regional sustainability of water and energy supply.

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) was established as part of the Affordable Care Act to promote research on the comparative effectiveness of treatment options. Advocates hoped this information would help reduce wasteful spending by identifying low-value treatments, but many conservatives and industry groups feared PCORI would ration care and threaten physicians' autonomy. PCORI faced three challenges during its first decade of operation: overcoming the controversy of its birth and escaping early termination, shaping medical practice, and building a public reputation for relevance. While PCORI has won reauthorization, it has not yet had a major impact on the decisions of clinicians or payers. PCORI's modest footprint reflects not only the challenges of getting a new organization off the ground but also the larger political, financial, and cultural barriers to the uptake of medical evidence in the US health care system. The growing attention among policymakers and researchers to provider prices (rather than utilization) as the driver of health care spending could be helpful to the political prospects of the evidence-based medicine project by making it appear to be less as rationing driven by costs and more as an effort to improve quality and uphold medical professionalism.

In their first decade of operation in Canada, Canadian Girl Guides presented numerous performances, primarily as fundraisers, to raise money for the Red Cross or to go to camp. Their performances included a great deal of variety, and often gymnastics drills. While critics suggest that these drills were joyless affairs, girls chose to do them, and many probably took pleasure and pride in developing the choreography and performing them well. Preliminary research with twenty-first-century girls shows that developing the drills can be a lot of fun, and that the movement vocabulary has considerable creative potential. Performing the drills in early twentieth-century communities could challenge expectations about differences between boys and girls while demonstrating girls’ strength, emphasize a hopeful future full of healthy (probably white) girls who would become healthy mothers, and encourage audiences to think about unity. In the early twentieth century, Guides would have been unlikely to have seen a professional physical culture drill. With no professional counterpart, girls could not really be amateurs, but it is important that girls probably had to imagine the best drill possible.
