Automatic Differentiation for Explicitly Correlated MP2.

Automatic differentiation (AD) offers a route to achieve arbitrary-order derivatives of challenging wave function methods without the use of analytic gradients or response theory. Currently, AD has been predominantly used in methods where first- and/or second-order derivatives are available, but it has not been applied to methods lacking available derivatives. The most robust approximation of explicitly correlated MP2, MP2-F12/3C(FIX)+CABS, is one such method. By comparing the results of MP2-F12 computed with AD versus finite-differences, it is shown that (a) optimized geometries match to about 10-3 Å for bond lengths and a 10-6 degree for angles, and (b) dipole moments match to about 10-6 D. Hessians were observed to have poorer agreement with numerical results (10-5), which is attributed to deficiencies in AD implementations currently. However, it is notable that vibrational frequencies match within 10-2 cm-1. The use of AD also allowed the prediction of MP2-F12/3C(FIX)+CABS IR intensities for the first time.

Independence Versus Interdependence: Analyzing the Dynamics of Indian Immigrant Couple in Jhumpa Lahiri’s “A Temporary Matter”

Independence and interdependence are two important considerations in a marital relationship. In particular, interdependence is considered an important consideration, witnessed by existing literature. Based on the relevant consideration, this research article examines independence and interdependence as prevailing themes in Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story “A Temporary Matter” under Reader’s Response Theory. The researcher used the intrinsic case study method and critically analyzed the short story and its relation to independence and interdependence. Thus, it is found that both themes are prevalent as the story title is direct yet has deeper meanings for the readers. Although the power outrage is depicted as a minor inconvenience, it amplifies the emotional distance caused by past traumas. The power outage symbolizes the event of interdependence when both spouses sit together and share their experiences. This interdependence becomes especially apparent when Shukumar shares his grief, and Shoba, despite intending to be part of her residence, becomes aware of her husband’s plight. Notably, this story is based on an open ending that implies the readers’ choice of conclusion. This indicates how Lahiri’s work also focuses on readers’ ability to generate interpretation and acquire an understanding of marriage, independence, and interdependence as important aspects.

Implementation responsiveness: linking public opinion to policy implementation

There has been considerable research progress in understanding how governments adapt public policies in response to public opinion. We propose a new concept, ‘implementation responsiveness’, which refers to the extent to which policy implementation is adapted in response to public opinion. By examining documented texts about the actions of Chinese city executive bureaus in response to online public opinions on environmental protection issues, we provide insight into implementation responsiveness. The coding results reveal that implementation responsiveness is widespread in the responses of Chinese city administrations and is manifested as an increase in intensity or expanded scope of implementation. Based on the sandwich model, we also compare the impact of top-down and bottom-up pressure on implementation responsiveness by testing variables such as written directives, repeated complaints, and intensity of public sentiment. The results show that only written directives have a significant and stable positive effect on implementation responsiveness, which implies that leadership authority affects implementation responsiveness more significantly than social pressure. The findings offer novel perspectives on responsiveness theory and have practical implications for grassroots governments facing the challenge of balancing scarce policy resources with the need to make changes in response to public opinion.

FROG: Exploiting all-atom molecular dynamics trajectories to calculate linear and non-linear optical responses of molecular liquids within Dalton's QM/MM polarizable embedding scheme.

Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methods are interesting to model the impact of a complex environment on the spectroscopic properties of a molecule. In this context, a FROm molecular dynamics to second harmonic Generation (FROG) code is a tool to exploit molecular dynamics trajectories to perform QM/MM calculations of molecular optical properties. FROG stands for "FROm molecular dynamics to second harmonic Generation" since it was developed for the calculations of hyperpolarizabilities. These are relevant to model non-linear optical intensities and compare them with those obtained from second harmonic scattering or second harmonic generation experiments. FROG's specificity is that it is designed to study simple molecular liquids, including solvents or mixtures, from the bulk to the surface. For the QM/MM calculations, FROG relies on the Dalton package: its electronic-structure models, response theory, and polarizable embedding schemes. FROG helps with the global workflow needed to deal with numerous QM/MM calculations: it permits the user to separate the system into QM and MM fragments, to write Dalton's inputs, to manage the submission of QM/MM calculations, to check whether Dalton's calculation finished successfully, and finally to perform averages on relevant QM observables. All molecules within the simulation box and several time steps are tackled within the same workflow. The platform is written in Python and installed as a package. Intermediate data such as local electric fields or individual molecular properties are accessible to the users in the form of Python object arrays. The resulting data are easily extracted, analyzed, and visualized using Python scripts that are provided in tutorials.

중일(中日) 근대문예론의 형성과 그 이동(異同)에 관한 소고(小考)

This paper attempts to compare the literary theory of Tsubouchi Shoyo(坪內逍遙), which was developed from the 'arts-the arts' examined throughout Wang Guowei's(王國維) literary theory, and Wang Guei's literary theory, which was established as the early modern Japanese literary theory. As Tsubouchi Shoyo's first statement, 'Novels are art(美術)' in 『Shosetsu Shinzui(小說神髓)』 opened the chapter of modern Japanese literary theory, this paper aims to explore Wang Guowei's literary theories in relation to the formation of modern literary theory in China. Therefore, in the case of the formation of Japanese modern art theory, Tsubouchi Shoyo's use of Western literary theory and logic in his own way within the magnetic field of pragmatic thought and literary dance theory that spread throughout Japanese society in the 1880s, while building a literary theory that incorporated the discourse of the Japanese art world at the time, was used as a guide to examine the formation of Chinese modern art theory and Wang Guowei's literary theory treatise. This was further utilized to examine the shifts in the theses that were common to their literary theories. In fact, the formation environment of Sino-Japanese modern literary theory was different in terms of its reception and paragraph situation according to the way the two countries experienced modern East Asia, but there are also similar points. It is also true that Wang Guowei's and Tsubouchi Shoyo's views and arguments on the literary arts developed in very different ways after they published their literary theory works and related papers, depending on their respective life trajectories and the circumstances of their respective countries. Nevertheless, neither Tsubouchi Shoyo nor Wang Guowei built a separate literary theory that completely excluded the dominant discourse in the academic and literary circles of their time. Rather, Wang Guowei, who studied a wide range of disciplines, including mathematics and natural sciences, could be said to have been more attuned to and thought about the axioms of modern China's time and built his literary theories in response to them.

Considering urban tourism in strategic spatial planning

This paper addresses how strategic spatial planning is considering urban tourism, a phenomenon that has an increasing impact on the development of cities. A research approach interlinking urban tourism and spatial planning is conceptualised based on responsiveness theory and applied to a case study of ten medium-sized Central European cities. Descriptive statistical analysis of the presence of tourism in cities and policy analysis of strategic spatial planning documents enable a comparison analysis of the level of consideration of tourism alongside screening of proposed tourism-related measures. The paper reveals that strategic spatial planning documents are not responsive enough to tourism growth, and there is a lack of strategic measures steering towards sustainable tourism development in cities.

Content Moderation Folk Theories and Perceptions of Platform Spirit among Marginalized Social Media Users

Social media users create folk theories to help explain how elements of social media operate. Marginalized social media users face disproportionate content moderation and removal on social media platforms. We conducted a qualitative interview study ( n = 24) to understand how marginalized social media users may create folk theories in response to content moderation and their perceptions of platforms’ spirit, and how these theories may relate to their marginalized identities. We found that marginalized social media users develop folk theories informed by their perceptions of platforms’ spirit to explain instances where their content was moderated in ways that violate their perceptions of how content moderation should work in practice. These folk theories typically address content being removed despite not violating community guidelines, along with bias against marginalized users embedded in guidelines. We provide implications for platforms, such as using marginalized users’ folk theories as tools to identify elements of platform moderation systems that function incorrectly and disproportionately impact marginalized users.

Social Media Strategies by the Sobat Icad Community to Support Richard Eliezer as a Justice Collaborator

The Sobat Icad community uses social media to express their aspirations in supporting Richard Eliezer as a justice collaborator in the case of Brigadier J's murder. Through this study, the researchers identified the strategies used by Sobat Icad community in utilizing social media as a platform to provide support through campaigns. The research was conducted based on the Stimulus-Organism- Response theory by Carl Hovland and the Campaign Concept by Anne Gregory. The researchers employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study research method. The study results showed the existence of social media usage strategies formulated by Sobat Icad community in conducting their campaigns. This includes the selection of social media platforms that are Instagram and WhatsApp, the choice of content using photos, posters, and videos, as well as the establishment of rules for each member of the Sobat Icad community to always upload content based on facts without exaggeration. In future research, the researchers hope to explore the perspectives of both supportive and opposing communities to examine the social dynamics through the public's response regarding the organization of campaign support for Richard Eliezer as a justice collaborator.

Tiktok Sebagai Media Sosial Populer untuk Komunikasi Bisnis

The growth of the internet and the use of social media have made it easier for people to communicate and access information according to their needs. This ease of access is utilized by social media users not only as a means of information dissemination but also as a platform for personal identity expression, social integration and interaction, and entertainment. With the increasing number of social media users, a unique phenomenon has emerged in Indonesian society, namely the rise of online shopping on social media platforms, especially TikTok. This has made TikTok a popular social media platform for business communication, including promotional content. This research is conducted using observation and content analysis methods with the aim of analyzing the phenomenon of TikTok as a popular platform for business communication by analyzing the content of videos that relate to the business communication process. The study also relates this analysis to stimulus and response theories as well as decision-making theories in the context of purchasing decisions.

Second response theory: a theoretical formalism for the propagation of quantum superpositions

The propagation of general electronic quantum states provides information of the interaction of molecular systems with external driving fields. These can also offer understandings regarding non-adiabatic quantum phenomena. Well established methods focus mainly on propagating a quantum system that is initially described exclusively by the ground state wavefunction. In this work, we expand a previously developed size-extensive formalism within coupled cluster theory, called second response theory, so it propagates quantum systems that are initially described by a general linear combination of different states, which can include the ground state, and show how with a special set of time-dependent cluster operators such propagations are performed. Our theory shows strong consistency with numerically exact results for the determination of quantum mechanical observables, probabilities, and coherences. We discuss unperturbed non-stationary states within second response theory and their ability to predict matrix elements that agree with those found in linear and quadratic response theories. This work also discusses an approximate regularized methodology to treat systems with potential instabilities in their ground-state cluster amplitudes, and compares such approximations with respect to reference results from standard unitary theory.

State-Interaction Approach for Evaluating g-Tensors within EOM-CC and RAS-CI Frameworks: Theory and Benchmarks.

Among various techniques designed for studying open-shell species, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy plays an important role. The key quantity measured by EPR is the g-tensor, describing the coupling between an external magnetic field and molecular electronic spin. One theoretical framework for quantum chemistry calculations of g-tensors is based on response theory, which involves substantial developments that are specific to the underlying electronic structure models. A simplified and easier-to-implement approach is based on the state-interaction scheme, in which perturbation is included by considering a small number of states. We describe and benchmark the state-interaction approach using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster and restricted-active-space configuration interaction wave functions. The analysis confirms that this approach can deliver accurate results and highlights caveats of applying it, such as a choice of the reference state, convergence with respect to the number of states used in calculations, etc. The analysis also contributes toward a better understanding of challenges in calculations of higher-order properties using approximate wave functions.

Professors and Students in the Cultural Cold War: The Case of Ethiopia*

ABSTRACT During the Cold War the United States and the Soviet Union aspired to transform overseas academic institutions according to their political goals. Their attempts to impose certain values, disciplines, structures, and personnel were foiled by sabotage and indigenous traditions on the part of the local academic elite, particularly professors. The article illustrates futile revisions by both the United States and the Soviet Union at Ethiopian higher educational institutions and discusses the Cultural Cold War in terms of realism, constructivism, Americanisation, Sovietisation and response theory.

Reading the poem (I’m capable of doing it) by (Abdulla Pashew) According to reader reception and response theory

Abdullah Pashew's poem (I’m capable of doing it) is one of the different poems of the poet, in which the story of four years of the poet's love relationship with the opposite sex is told. The poet's upheaval in the poem has led to different views and their reflection in various critical articles and research. From this point of view, according to the method of receiving and responding to the reader, we have tried to analyze some of the articles written about this text Some of these views and opinions expressed their opposition to the text and did not meet their expectations because they believed that it could not be disturbed within the framework of the message It is fiery and threatening to stand up to the love of women. On the other hand, another discourse and message emerges among some critics and readers of the text, which is coordinated with their intellectual acceptance and adaptation to the idea of ​​the text and becomes satisfactory and welcome it They reject the charges against the poet.

P82 Validation of the dermatology life quality index (DLQI): a systematic review of the literature

Abstract The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) was first published in 1994, and, since that time, it has become the most widely used patient-reported outcome measure worldwide in dermatological studies, owing to its robustness, simplicity and ease of use. This study is the first to review systematically evidence of DLQI validation. MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, SCOPUS, CINAHL (EBSCO) and PsycINFO were searched for relevant peer-reviewed publications in English, combined into EndNote and filtered for inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study followed PRISMA guidelines, and the study protocol was prospectively published in PROSPERO. A bespoke REDCap database was created, and data from included studies were independently extracted into this by two reviewers. COSMIN guidelines were used to determine bias in studies, and only those studies that reported COSMIN-accepted methods of validation were included. A total of 1262 articles were found from online searches; on screening, 69 met the eligibility criteria, describing 19 216 patients. Studies were conducted in at least 26 different countries, with 13 in the USA, 8 in China, and 5 each in the UK, Brazil and Hungary. Most patients were recruited in hospitals (30.4%), clinics (21.7%) and outpatient departments (10.1%), and 22.5% in other settings; 13.0% was not specified. Twenty-nine studies were multicentred. Most studies (n = 38) collected data specifically for validation, five used data from randomized controlled trials, seven were case–control studies and one was an open-label study. One study was validation of a translation, and five were of cross-cultural adaptation. Psoriasis was the most common disease studied (n = 19; 27%), along with 19 other diseases. The UK English version of the DLQI was used in 18 studies, and 20 other language versions were also used in the other studies. Factor analysis was done in 21 studies, Rasch/item response theory (n = 5), test–retest (n = 14), Cronbach’s alpha (n = 33), known group (n = 19), convergent (n = 10), concurrent (n = 3), divergent (n = 2), content (n = 7), criterion (n = 2) and face (n = 2) validation and responsiveness (n = 15). COSMIN risk of bias showed that few studies met the current rigorous requirements of the guidelines. Extensive evidence of validation of the DLQI is provided to inform researchers’ decisions concerning its use. Recommendations for improving the research methodology and reporting of DLQI validation are also given.

A cognitive architecture theory of anticipatory thinking

AbstractWe theorize that anticipatory thinking (AT) uses the same computational infrastructure as general cognition as described in the Common Model of Cognition. We extend the Common Model with results from research on event cognition. Using these building blocks, we present a five‐step process model of AT as realized in cognitive architecture components. We then revisit simplifying assumptions underlying our model and expand our theory in response. Finally, we make predictions that are entailed by our account of AT, focusing on how computational limits in both natural and artificial cognitive systems can impact support for AT.
