Instanton solutions in a model of AdS4/CFT3 correspondence

From the wrapping of the (anti)membranes of 11-dimensional supergravity over , on the internal directions along with an ansatz for its 4-form flux, by solving the original equations and identities, we arrive at scalar differential equations in the Euclidean space; note that the associated bulk solutions and setups break all supersymmeties, parity and scale invariance; the resulting (pseudo) scalar potential, which is Higgs-like with two nearly homogeneous vacua, provides the first-order phase transition and tunneling from the false- to true- vacuum. Here, concentrating on the three (pseudo) scalar modes m2=-2, 4, 10 , which are, in turn, realizable in Wick-rotated and skew-whiffed M2-branes backgrounds, we employ approximate methods and, particularly, Adomian decomposition method to solve the nonlinear second-order partial differential equations, valid in the probe approximation, with the Dirichlet boundary condition or the initial data from a basic exact solution, to get solutions in series expansions near the boundary in different orders of perturbation. Next, making use of the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence rules, after swapping the three fundamental representations of for gravitino, we build the dual singlet operators from the (scalar, fermion and gauge) fields in a 3-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter gauge field theory living on the resultant anti-M2-brnaes; after that, by deforming the corresponding boundary actions with the operators, we get invariant solutions with nonzero finite actions, which ,in turn, are small instantons sitting at the origin of a 3-sphere at infinity, causing instability and mediating false vacuum decay. In other words, the boundary potentials unbounded from below are duals for the collapse of the bulk (thin-wall) vacuum bubbles and big crunch singularities.

Саморепрезентация религиозных организаций в контексте трансформации социальной политики в отношении пожилых: между «служением» и «экспертизой»

The article presents results of the study of self-representation by two religious organizationsin Saint Petersburg, Russia, that provide long-term elderly care. The main aim of the research is to reconstruct how faith-based organizations represent, or position, themselves in the conditions of expansion of the market of nonstate social services in Russia. The study was conducted within the qualitative paradigm of social research and used frame analysis as its main methodological tool. The study analyzed framing used in several dozens of the two organizations’ written texts, such as their official documents, news items, recommendations, leaflets, social media entries, and contents on their official webpages. Following the consensus existing in critical scholarship on the third sector professionalization, the main hypothesis of this study is that at the level of self-representation religious organizations readily abandon their original identity and values of spiritual concern and care for their charges, instead positioning themselves primarily as “experts.” In the course of the study, three main frames were identified: religious “patience,” aligned with the original mission and identity of the organizations; “humanism,” popular among the medical geriatric community; and “professionalization,” which implies self-positioning as experts. The analysis revealed that discourses of “patience” and “humanism” are used relatively rarely, be it at the level of caregivers or in the organizations’ statutory documents. In turn, “professionalization” was the most common type of self-representation, proving the study’s main hypothesis to be correct. Article in Russian DOI: 10.25285/2078-1938-2020-12-2-68-89

Better mental health through identifying with locals and country of origin among foreign-born people

Abstract Background Sense of belonging (SoB) is an important determinant of health among foreign-born population and it has previously been found to be associated with perceived health. In this study we examined: 1) which types of SoB are associated with psychological strain (PS), and 2) whether this varies between different country groups. Methods The data were gathered from the cross-sectional Survey on Well-Being among Foreign-Born Population (FinMonik, n = 6 836), conducted in Finland in 2018-19. SoB was assessed by the question “Which of the following areas or groups you feel you belong to?”, classified into 1) both Finns/local municipality and citizens of country of origin CCO (acculturation identity), 2) only Finns/local municipality (local identity), 3) only CCO (origin identity), 4) only Europeans, world citizens, religious, work-related or political group (other identity), and 5) none of the previous. PS was measured by using the MHI-5 (psychological strain: yes; no). Logistic regression was used to test the association between SoB and PS, with age, sex and country of origin as confounding variables. In the analyses, weights were used to reduce non-response bias. Results Compared to the acculturation identity group, PS was more common among those with local identity (OR = 1.60, p < 0.01), origin identity (OR = 1.99, p < 0.001) or other identity (OR = 3.33, p < 0.001) and those with no belonging to any of the groups presented (OR = 5.40, p < 0.001). The last group was more likely to experience PS than the acculturation identity group in all five country groups included in the analysis. Acculturation identity was associated with less PS especially for those born in EU-, EFTA- and North American countries. Conclusions Acculturation identity was strongly associated with less psychological strain, especially when compared with the group reporting no belonging to any of the groups presented. Key messages Sense of belonging is associated with mental health and should be studied more extensively among different foreign-born population groups. Identification with both the local people and one’s own country of origin should be supported.

Transcriptional Reprogramming of Distinct Peripheral Sensory Neuron Subtypes after Axonal Injury

Primary somatosensory neurons are specialized to transmit specific types of sensory information through differences in cell size, myelination, and the expression of distinct receptors and ion channels, which together define their transcriptional and functional identity. By profiling sensory ganglia at single-cell resolution, we find that all somatosensory neuronal subtypes undergo a similar transcriptional response to peripheral nerve injury that both promotes axonal regeneration and suppresses cell identity. This transcriptional reprogramming, which is not observed in non-neuronal cells, resolves over a similar time course as target reinnervation and is associated with the restoration of original cell identity. Injury-induced transcriptional reprogramming requires ATF3, a transcription factor that is induced rapidly after injury and necessary for axonal regeneration and functional recovery. Our findings suggest that transcription factors induced early after peripheral nerve injury confer the cellular plasticity required for sensory neurons to transform into a regenerative state.

Abstract LB-007: The emergence of tumor organoid engineering as a powerful tool for drug efficacy and mechanism of action profiling

Abstract Introduction: Patient-derived models such as organoids are a powerful translational tool for preclinical research with several advantages over current conventional models: 1) they are derived from stem cells with self-organizing and renewal properties reflecting the 3D structure and morphology of original tissue; 2) they preserve the original genomic, physiological, and multicellular identity thereby representing patient diversity and heterogeneity in a dish; 3) they provide in vitro convenience for greater throughput for screening large numbers of compounds and/or patients; 4) they are amenable to genetic engineering. Methods: We have used Hubrecht Organoid Technology (HUB) protocols to systematically create a biobank of organoids derived from a well-annotated patient-derived xenograft (PDX) library (the world's largest commercially available PDX library with over 2,500 models, covering a variety of carcinomas, with extensive pathology, genomic, and treatment information), referred to as PDX-derived organoids or PDXOs. Results: We have currently developed more than 200 PDXOs covering many cancer types, including colorectal, gastric, liver, lung, bladder, breast, ovarian, pancreatic cancer, etc. Genomic analyses have demonstrated that PDXOs largely preserve the histo- and molecular pathology of the original PDX. In vitro maintenance of PDX models as organoids enables genetic manipulation to be performed, which is not possible for in vivo PDX models, thereby creating new models to facilitate drug development. We have employed both lentivirus-based and CRISPR/Cas9-based approaches to modify various tumor organoid models with luciferase, tumor associated antigens (TAA), and some EGFR mutants unavailable in current preclinical model panels. These engineered organoid models, alongside corresponding in vivo matched models, have been incorporated into a new drug efficacy platform. Preliminary results show that these engineered organoid models greatly expand the capacity and application of our current organoid bank. Conclusions: In summary, engineered cancer organoids are a great tool to enrich and diversify current tumor organoid biobanks, particularly for unavailable and clinically relevant models to be used for drug testing, as well as for studies on mechanisms of action and drug resistance.

Old statues, new meanings. Literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence for Christian reidentification of statuary

Abstract This article examines literary, epigraphic and archaeological evidence for the Christian reidentification of statuary and reliefs as biblical scenes and protagonists, saints and angels. It argues that Christian identifications were promulgated, amongst others by local bishops, to make sense of imagery of which the original identity had been lost and/or was no longer meaningful. Three conditions for a new identification are discussed: the absence of an epigraphic label, geographical and/or chronological distance separating the statue from its original context of display, and the presence of a specific attribute or characteristic that could become the prompt for reidentification. In their manipulation and modernization of older statuary, Christians showed a much greater appreciation of the statuary medium than generally assumed.

Comida e aspectos simbólicos na perspectiva de políticas públicas para o cumprimento do Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada e Saudável

O Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada e Saudável (DHAAS) é uma das garantias fundamentais de cidadania. Promover a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional é responsabilidade do Estado mediante politicas públicas para a realização do DHAAS. Este ensaio se propõe a resgatar o processo de construção e significação do conceito de alimentação saudável e adequada (AAS) na formulação de políticas públicas, evidenciando as contradições e destacando a comida e seus aspectos simbólicos. A AAS é a realização de um direito humano, com a garantia ao acesso permanente e regular, socialmente justo, adequada aos aspectos biologicos e sociais dos indivíduos, às dimensoes de genero e etnia, e a produção ambientalmente sustentavel, livre de contaminantes fisicos, quimicos, biologicos, de organismos geneticamente modificado e pautada no referencial cultural dos povos e comunidades. A alimentaçao e a comida são categorias politicamente imbricadas, mas socialmente distintas. A inserção da comida e do simbólico nos processos de implementação das políticas e programas de SAN, parece ter evidenciado a importância da origem e da identidade cultural das comidas para o cumprimento do DHAAS. É fundamental continuar construindo um debate epistemológico que incorpore a premissa interdisciplinar, complexa, interseccional e intercultural da alimentação com os campos do saber que a configuram.

Spatial proximity moderates genotype uncertainty in genetic tagging studies

Accelerating declines of an increasing number of animal populations worldwide necessitate methods to reliably and efficiently estimate demographic parameters such as population density and trajectory. Standard methods for estimating demographic parameters from noninvasive genetic samples are inefficient because lower-quality samples cannot be used, and they assume individuals are identified without error. We introduce the genotype spatial partial identity model (gSPIM), which integrates a genetic classification model with a spatial population model to combine both spatial and genetic information, thus reducing genotype uncertainty and increasing the precision of demographic parameter estimates. We apply this model to data from a study of fishers (Pekania pennanti) in which 37% of hair samples were originally discarded because of uncertainty in individual identity. The gSPIM density estimate using all collected samples was 25% more precise than the original density estimate, and the model identified and corrected three errors in the original individual identity assignments. A simulation study demonstrated that our model increased the accuracy and precision of density estimates 63 and 42%, respectively, using three replicated assignments (e.g., PCRs for microsatellites) per genetic sample. Further, the simulations showed that the gSPIM model parameters are identifiable with only one replicated assignment per sample and that accuracy and precision are relatively insensitive to the number of replicated assignments for high-quality samples. Current genotyping protocols devote the majority of resources to replicating and confirming high-quality samples, but when using the gSPIM, genotyping protocols could be more efficient by devoting more resources to low-quality samples.

Legislative approaches to nondiscrimination at work: a comparative analysis across 13 groups in 193 countries

PurposeThere is substantial evidence of discrimination at work across countries and powerful evidence that antidiscrimination laws can make a difference. This study examines the extent of protections from discrimination at work in countries around the world and which groups were best covered.Design/methodology/approachThis study assesses legal protections in hiring, pay, promotions/demotions, terminations and harassment for 13 different groups across 193 countries using a database the authors created based on analysis of labor codes, antidiscrimination legislation, equal opportunity legislation and penal codes. Differences in levels of protection were examined across social groups and areas of work, as well as by country income level using Chi-square tests.FindingsProtection from gender and racial/ethnic discrimination at work was the most common, and protection across migrant status, foreign national origin, sexual orientation and gender identity was among the least. For all groups, discrimination was more often prohibited in hiring than in promotion/demotion. There was inconsistent protection from harassment and retaliation.Research limitations/implicationsAddressing discrimination at work will require a broad range of synergistic approaches including guaranteeing equal legal rights, implementation and enforcement of laws and norm change. This study highlights where legislative progress has been made and where major gaps remain.Originality/valueThis article presents findings from an original database containing the first data on laws to prevent discrimination in the workplace in all 193 countries around the world. The study analyzes legal protections for a wide range of groups and considers a full range of workplace protections.

Korean Christian Students' Adaptation and Integration in British Society: Their Identity Formation and Negotiation Processes

1 This paper explores Korean Christian students' adaptation and integration process in Britain, and their identity formation and negotiation, primarily based on ethnographic research. Korean student migrants undergo peculiar types of challenges during their integration process and experience conflicts between previously obtained and newly formed identities. Their attendance of and involvement in either a Korean or a British church helps them to overcome these challenges and influences them to continually (re)form identity/identities. While negotiating between different identities, their Christian identity – as their original identity that transcends cultural boundaries and influences – reminds them of their ontological value and encourages them to continue their life as migrants despite the challenges. Nevertheless, I will examine at the same time the notion that the migrants' Christian identity is a Korean Christian identity with cultural identity markers that define a Korean ethnic identity, which provides them hope in British society not only to survive but even to flourish as migrants.

"Pale Lager and Double Carp Fries, Please". The McDonaldization of the Culinary Culture in the Czech Republic

This article explores attitudes of hospitality stakeholders (HSs) and consumers towards fish gastronomy in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on traditional recipes and the impact of globalization. For the exploration of HSs' attitudes, qualitative investigation via in-depth semi-standardized interviews was employed with 19 fish restaurant HSs. The abstraction, appearance of ideal types of HSs, and integration with four aspects of Ritzer's McDonaldization theory were done. For the exploration of consumers' attitudes, sensory evaluation of seven fish dishes with 1698 participants was used. Lastly, a focus group was conducted with regular fish food consumers.Three ideal types of HS named progressive innovators, taste defenders, and occasional traditionalists appeared. For all of them, aspects of McDonaldization were obvious, meaning shift towards rationalization in Czech fish culinary culture and possible dilution of the original identity. As the main reasons for deauthentication of Czech fish gastronomy, a high laboriousness of traditional fish dishes causing high time consumption for restaurant staff, and the inclusion of bones in most of the traditional Czech fish dishes as the main barrier for consumers were identified. Paradoxically, consumers preferred traditional dishes more, showing a discrepancy between the attitudes of consumers and HSs. This result drew attention to the need for marketing research on the part of HSs. When already prepared dishes were presented, consumers preferred to choose more time-consuming fish dishes with more input ingredients. In the restaurant, consumers more often choose bone-free dishes. On the other hand, in households, consumers prefer the cheaper purchase of whole fish with bones. Ways of defense against food globalization were outlined: promotion of traditional fish dishes not contradicting the McDonaldization aspects, supporting food with strong national traditions, and the usage of glocalization when the skills, specificity, or original ingredients are sustained despite globalization.

Using the Reader Response`s Disguising Reader As a Technique of Reading the Text: Disguising the Dual Identity of Robert Stevenson`s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in order to Read the Dualism of Good and Evil in Zayni Barakat by Gamal al-Ghitani

This study treats the notion of the ''disguising reader''. It is a different technique of reading which requires an independent reader who rebels against the writer of the text and decides to put not only a different but also an unexpected scenario to the text. Thus, this rebellious reader employs his imagination in an usual way. Instead of reading the text through hisher original identity, and consciousness, this reader attempts to disguise a fictional character`s identity and reads the text through its consciousness and vision which the original reader has imagined and thought about earlier. Of course this technique of reading requires a reader who can lift himselfherself out of the present time and take off hisher original identity. In this study the reader could disguise the dual identity of Robert Stevenson`s Dr Jekyll in order to read Zayni Barakat by Gamal al-Ghitani.

Extensions of an identity of Euler

In this paper we state the original identity proved by Euler, and we provide an alternative proof of this result. We then extend the approach to derive a further identity for the sum of reciprocals of squares, along with two other related identities. We conclude by obtaining yet another extension of the identity, and this is accomplished by means of a probability density function, or pdf.

Classical Learning Analysis Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor in Improving Superior School Management

Education as a level of quality of human life both outwardly and mathematically, individually or socially in accordance with the foundation on a well-planned system so that it is followed by the application of an appropriate and correct curriculum. The desired educational goals are in accordance with the development of zaan. Therefore the success or failure of education depends on the curriculum used, although it is not very important on other aspects of education.The role of curriculum courses in the education system is very important, then educational institutions must be able to implement a curriculum that is able to bring the actual educational conditions in forming intellectually, skillful and morally capable individuals who are able to demonstrate their existence as an educational institution that survives in any zama development that does not must release its original identity as an educational institution that consistently maintains old traditions.

A novel image encryption algorithm using chaotic compressive sensing and nonlinear exponential function

This paper presents an optically secure image cryptosystem in the compressed-sensing (CS) domain by using a chaos driven nonlinear function. First, the original image is divided into non-overlapping blocks of uniform size, and then the discrete cosine transform (DCT) is used for obtaining sparse representation of these blocks. A logistic map-based circulant sensing measurement matrix is used to compress the sparse representations of the blocks. This partial cipher is further processed for encryption using a nonlinear function based on a dynamic invertible exponential function. The decorrelation of values is done by applying the Arnold 2-D map on the cipher. The seed values to the logistic equation and the parameters of the Arnold map are based on the original image, which makes the proposed algorithm robust in terms of plain text sensitivity. Not only does the algorithm achieve a considerable amount of security, but it also conceals the original image identity by the compression introduced, thereby reducing the storage and transmission cost. The decryption of the cipher is done using a smooth l0 approximation, giving high-quality reconstruction results. The extensive simulation results and performance analysis illustrates the excellent security and reconstruction results of the proposed scheme in comparison with the existing algorithms.

TRANSFORMATION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY “THE GRAVEDIGGER’S DAUGHTER” BY JOYCE CAROL OATES

Joyce Carol Oates’s novel The Gravedigger’s Daughter was released on June 1st, 2007 and ranked 17tfeh on the New York Times bestseller list. This novel was nominated in National Book Review Novel Award. Culture identity mainly refers to the collective identity of a cultural subject in the face of a strong culture and a weak culture, and the resulting strong ideological turbulence and great mental suffering, the salient features can be summarized as an anxiety and hope, the coexistence of pain and joy of the main experience. The Gravedigger’s Daughter narrates the story of the heroine Rebecca’s hidden Jewish identity in American life, pursuing the American mainstream status and finally shaping a hybrid identity. It reveals the immigrants’ seeking identity choice in anti-Semitic environment. In this paper, I will use cultural identity theory to analysis how an American Jewish girl thinks about her own cultural belonging and identity choice in the conflict and collision with heterogeneous culture; after the successful integration of Jewish immigrant family into American society, her own ethnic culture as a cultural power to restrict, regulate and influence herself and eventually lead her to realize that she should return to her original cultural identity.

Urban renewal as a tool of cities sustainability Sulaimani as a case study-north Iraq

In historical areas, the urban fabric and building structures are exposed to many circumstances including aging, natural disasters, insect infestation, climatic changes, and human intervention (which might include changes that affect the authenticity of structures and a city's historical layout and consideration made during original planning). From the beginning, the importance of urban renewal comes as an intentional process that focuses on restoring the original functionality and preserving the original architectural characteristics and identity of a city's urban fabric and doing so in a way that expresses the historical development of a city and its urban heritage and historical heritage. This research analyzed the morphological change of Sulaimani at the first foundation until now. In addition, the historical parts of Sulaimani analyzed depend on urban renovation policies. Consequently, urban renewal policies including conservation, rehabilitation, and renovation were applied on the historical area of Sulaimani in order to restore and preserve historical buildings as well as providing good quality of life with social and economic changes.

STT-DPSA: Digital PUF-Based Secure Authentication Using STT-MRAM for the Internet of Things

Physical unclonable function (PUF), a hardware-efficient approach, has drawn a lot of attention in the security research community for exploiting the inevitable manufacturing variability of integrated circuits (IC) as the unique fingerprint of each IC. However, analog PUF is not robust and resistant to environmental conditions. In this paper, we propose a digital PUF-based secure authentication model using the emergent spin-transfer torque magnetic random-access memory (STT-MRAM) PUF (called STT-DPSA for short). STT-DPSA is an original secure identity authentication architecture for Internet of Things (IoT) devices to devise a computationally lightweight authentication architecture which is not susceptible to environmental conditions. Considering hardware security level or cell area, we alternatively build matrix multiplication or stochastic logic operation for our authentication model. To prove the feasibility of our model, the reliability of our PUF is validated via the working windows between temperature interval (−35 C, 110 C) and Vdd interval [0.95 V, 1.16 V] and STT-DPSA is implemented with parameters n = 32, i = o = 1024, k = 8, and l = 2 using FPGA design flow. Under this setting of parameters, an attacker needs to take time complexity O() to compromise STT-DPSA. We also evaluate STT-DPSA using Synopsys design compiler with TSMC 0.18 um process.

Women, Pan-Africanism and the Missing Links: A Study of Madam Laura Adorkor Kofi

The contributions of African Women to earlier Pan African struggle is woefully inadequately documented. This Article seeks to contribute to the documentation of the contributions of Women, particularly African women. It studies the life and history of Madam Kofi but most importantly seeks to correct errors made by earlier writers on her claim to royalty and her true identity. This Paper seeks to stir debate and to encourage further research into her identity and country of origin while it adequately appreciates her role to Garveyism and the back-to-Africa concept .
