Abstract

The recent fit of cosmological parameters by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration will have a significant impact on our understanding of the universe. Given its importance, we conduct several consistency checks and draw conclusions from the fit. Specifically, we focus on the following key issues relevant to cosmology: (i) the acceleration of the universe's expansion, which, according to the fit, differs over cosmological time compared to the standard cosmological model; (ii) the age of the universe, which appears slightly shorter than the age of the oldest stars; and (iii) the solution of the scale factor, both numerically and in an approximate analytical form., Comment: 32 pages, 9 Figures, 10 Tables

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract

Among the recent extensions to standard General Relativity, $f(R,\mathcal{L}_m)$ gravity has risen an interest given the possibility of coupling between geometry and matter. We examine the simplest model with non-minimal coupling in the context of cosmology. We pay special attention to the question of how far this model could reproduce the observational fact of our universe., Comment: 28 pages, 11 figures

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

The quest to understand better the nature of the initial cosmological singularity is with us since the discovery of the expanding universe. Here, we propose several non-flat models, among them the standard cosmological scenario with a critical cosmological constant, the Einstein-Cartan cosmology, the Milne-McCrea universe with quantum corrections and a non-flat universe with bulk viscosity. Within these models, we probe into the initial singularity by using different techniques. Several nonsingular universes emerge, one of the possibilities being a static non-expanding and stable Einstein universe., Comment: 31 pages, 14 figures

11. A Reflection about Self-Plagiarism

Author

Lopera Medina, Sergio Alonso

Abstract

This paper explores self-plagiarism in three different articles that reported results of the same research project on reading in a foreign language. This article follows the qualitative research method and an exploratory case study was used. Results support that both inadequate paraphrasing and adequate paraphrasing were given. Regarding inadequate paraphrasing some similar words and ideas were found. On the other hand, using different authors in a specific idea, having different numbers of words in a common issue, and being versatile to present information might lead to adequate paraphrasing. Conclusions suggest that a dialog between editors and authors must be given in order to clear self-plagiarism up. Finally, conclusions also suggest that editors should consider the inclusion of some similar information in articles written by the same author or the same research members. A bibliography is included.

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

We probe into universes filled with Quark Gluon Plasma with non-zero viscosities. In particular, we study the evolution of a universe with non-zero shear viscosity motivated by the theoretical result of a non-vanishing shear viscosity in the Quark Gluon Plasma due to quantum-mechanical effects. We first review the consequences of a non-zero bulk viscosity and show explicitly the non-singular nature of the bulk-viscosity-universe by calculating the cosmological scale factor $R(t)$ which goes to zero only asymptotically. We further extend the model of bulk viscosity to include a Cosmological Constant. We contrast the previous results with the cosmology of universes with non-zero shear viscosity. We first clarify under which conditions shear viscosity terms are compatible with the Friedmann-Lama\^itre-Robertson-Walker metric. To this end we use a version of the energy-momentum tensor from the M\"uller-Isreal-Stewart theory which leads to causal Navier-Stoke equations. We then derive the corresponding Friedmann equations and show under which conditions the universe emerges non-singular., Comment: 49 pages, 18 figures

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, High Energy Physics - Theory
Abstract

Cosmologies based on General Relativity encompassing an anti-symmetric connection (torsion) can display nice desirable features as the absence of the initial singularity and the possibility of inflation in the early stage of the universe. After briefly reviewing the standard approach to the cosmology with torsion, we generalize it to demonstrate that several theories of torsion gravity are possible using different choices of the diffeomorphic invariants in the Lagrangians. As a result, distinct cosmologies emerge. In all of them it is possible that the universe avoids the initial singularity and passes through an initial accelerated expansion. Differences between these theories are highlighted., Comment: 41 pages, 21 figures

Abstract

Most technologies, including conventional mass spectrometry, struggle to measure the mass of particles in the MDa to GDa range. Although this mass range appears optimal for nanomechanical resonators, early nanomechanical-MS systems suffered from prohibitive sample loss, extended analysis time or inadequate resolution. Here, we report on a novel system architecture combining nebulization of the analytes from solution, their efficient transfer and focusing without relying on electromagnetic fields, and the mass measurements of individual particles using nanomechanical resonator arrays. This system determined the mass distribution of ~30 MDa polystyrene nanoparticles with a detection efficiency 6 orders of magnitude higher than previous nanomechanical-MS systems with ion guides, and successfully performed the highest molecular mass measurement to date with less than 1 picomole of bacteriophage T5 105 MDa viral capsids.

16. Living and Teaching Internationally: Teachers Talk about Personal Experiences, Benefits, and Challenges

Author

Ospina, Nelly Sierra and Medina, Sergio Lopera

Abstract

This study reports on the impact of international visiting faculty's teaching experiences in the United States on their personal, professional, and intercultural development. It is based on the principles of qualitative research and can be described as a case study. Data collection involved a questionnaire, a written narrative, and a semi-structured interview with each of a number of teachers. Participants included a group of 22 visiting faculty. Three main categories, each of which can be subdivided into benefits and challenges, emerged from the analysis: intercultural matters, professional matters, and personal matters. A wide range of benefits was identified, suggesting that the participants adapted to new life styles, became more mature, obtained a deeper understanding of themselves, reaffirmed their own educational values and philosophies, raised cultural awareness, became more flexible, and developed attitudes that involved tolerance and respect. Conversely, visiting faculty reported that they faced challenges related to language barriers, interaction with native speakers, classroom management, lack of support from school administrators, and separation from family.

17. Newtonian Cosmology with a Quantum Bounce

Author

Bargueño, Pedro, Bravo-Medina, Sergio, Nowakowski, Marek, and Batic, Davide

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

It has been known for some time that the cosmological Friedmann equation deduced from General Relativity can be also obtained within the Newtonian framework under certain assumptions. We use this result together with quantum corrections to the Newtonian potentials to derive a set a of quantum corrected Friedmann equations. We examine the behavior of the solutions of these modified cosmological equations paying special attention to the sign of the quantum corrections. We find different quantum effects crucially depending on this sign. One such a solution displays a qualitative resemblance to other quantum models like Loop Quantum Gravity or non-commutative geometry.

21. Effects of Classroom Assessment Practices in a Foreign Language Reading Course (Efectos de las Prácticas de Evaluación en el Salón de Clase de un Curso de Lectura en Lengua Extranjera (LE))

Author

Medina, Sergio Alonso Lopera

Abstract

This article analyzes the various types of information that alternative assessment and traditional assessment practices provided in an English foreign language (FL) reading course for graduate students at a public university in Medellín, Colombia. This study followed the principles of qualitative research, and a case study was used as a research method. There were five instruments to collect data: questionnaires, observations, tests, focus groups, and the diary of the teacher. Findings suggest that the assessment practices applied in this course helped students and teachers recognize that learning occurred. The assessment practices also helped language practitioners learn more about the teaching and learning processes in FL reading. Conclusions suggest that language practitioners should include both alternative and traditional assessment in order to have a wider picture of the process of teaching and learning.

22. Motivation Conditions in a Foreign Language Reading Comprehension Course Offering Both a Web-Based Modality and a Face-to-Face Modality (Las condiciones de motivación en un curso de comprensión de lectura en lengua extranjera (LE) ofrecido tanto en la modalidad presencial como en la modalidad a distancia en la web)

Author

Lopera Medina, Sergio

Abstract

Motivation plays an important in role in education. Based on the ten macro-strategies proposed by Dörnyei and Csizér (1998), this article analyzes the motivation conditions in a foreign language reading comprehension course using both a web-based modality and a face-to-face modality. A case study was implemented as the primary research method, and five instruments were used to gather data: observations, a teacher's diary, focus groups, questionnaires, and in-depth interviews. The use of teaching aids, mastery gains in reading, proper presentation of tasks, and lack of humor were among the similarities found in the courses. In contrast, constant motivation, technical support, interactions among students, anxiety, and a high number of exercises constituted some of the differences between the modalities.

24. Diary Insights of an EFL Reading Teacher (Apreciaciones de un profesor de lectura en lengua inglesa escritas en un diario de clase)

Author

Lopera Medina, Sergio

Abstract

It is often argued that classroom diaries are subjective. This article explores the diary insights of a foreign language reading teacher. The inquiry was based on the following research question: What do the diary insights really evidence about the teaching practices of a foreign language reading teacher? As a research method, a case study was implemented. Five instruments were used to collect data: diary of the teacher, observations, questionnaires, tests, and focus groups. Given that motivation, interaction, reading improvement, and the application of reading strategies were supported by the research instruments, it would seem that a diary can be objective.

25. Effects of Strategy Instruction in an EFL Reading Comprehension Course: A Case Study (Efectos de la instrucción de estrategias en un curso de comprensión de lectura en inglés como lengua extranjera: un estudio de caso)

Author

Lopera Medina, Sergio

Abstract

Strategy instruction is useful in teaching contexts. This paper examines the effects of strategy instruction in an EFL reading comprehension course carried out with 26 undergraduate students at a Colombian university. As a research method, a case study was implemented. There were three instruments with which to collect data: reading comprehension tests, teacher's field notes and self-reflection in class at the strategy instruction phase, and a learning perception questionnaire. Given that students improved in reading comprehension, it would seem that reading strategy instruction is indeed very useful. Also, it was noted that when students applied reading strategies, they became more self-confident and this in turn enhanced their motivation. Finally, when students applied the reading strategy approach, the use of dictionaries decreased considerably.

Abstract

Background & aimsGlycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) expression is decreased in some patients with severe non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Gnmt deficiency in mice (Gnmt-KO) results in abnormally elevated serum levels of methionine and its metabolite S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), and this leads to rapid liver steatosis development. Autophagy plays a critical role in lipid catabolism (lipophagy), and defects in autophagy have been related to liver steatosis development. Since methionine and its metabolite SAMe are well known inactivators of autophagy, we aimed to examine whether high levels of both metabolites could block autophagy-mediated lipid catabolism.MethodsWe examined methionine levels in a cohort of 358 serum samples from steatotic patients. We used hepatocytes cultured with methionine and SAMe, and hepatocytes and livers from Gnmt-KO mice.ResultsWe detected a significant increase in serum methionine levels in steatotic patients. We observed that autophagy and lipophagy were impaired in hepatocytes cultured with high methionine and SAMe, and that Gnmt-KO livers were characterized by an impairment in autophagy functionality, likely caused by defects at the lysosomal level. Elevated levels of methionine and SAMe activated PP2A by methylation, while blocking PP2A activity restored autophagy flux in Gnmt-KO hepatocytes, and in hepatocytes treated with SAMe and methionine. Finally, normalization of methionine and SAMe levels in Gnmt-KO mice using a methionine deficient diet normalized the methylation capacity, PP2A methylation, autophagy, and ameliorated liver steatosis.ConclusionsThese data suggest that elevated levels of methionine and SAMe can inhibit autophagic catabolism of lipids contributing to liver steatosis.

Abstract

El Trabajo de Fin de Grado tiene como propósito abordar el diseño y desarrollo de una aplicación Web que ayude a fomentar el pensamiento crítico y desafiar el sesgo de los medios de información a través de dilemas morales sobre noticias diarias. Los medios de información a menudo pueden mostrar un sesgo informativo y condicionar las opiniones del lector posicionándole en los temas de actualidad. Este sesgo puede manifestarse en la elección selectiva de noticias, titulares tendenciosos, y la omisión de información. La aplicación mostrará diariamente un dilema ético sintetizado a partir de una noticia relevante, y posteriormente permitirá interactuar para rebatir sobre el dilema planteado. De esta manera se promueve el pensamiento crítico de los usuarios, haciéndoles opinar antes de leer cualquier noticia tendenciosa. El objetivo es automatizar el procesamiento de datos del portal web de manera que mediante APIs y un algoritmo, obtenga las noticias del día, se seleccione la mejor noticia posible para sintetizar el dilema, se genere el dilema a partir de la noticia, y se actualice la web y su Frontend. El trabajo detalla el proceso de diseño, desarrollo e implementación de la aplicación, incluyendo tecnologías utilizadas, metodologías de desarrollo, algoritmos, y el resto del proceso asociado a el desarrollo. ABSTRACT The purpose of this Thesis is to approach the design and development of a web application that fosters critical thinking and challenge the bias of media through moral dilemmas based on daily news.

32. Desarrollo e integración de API Rest para gestión de mensajes HL7 FHIR en herramienta genoDraw

Author

Paraíso Medina, Sergio, Botella Pulido, Gonzalo, Paraíso Medina, Sergio, and Botella Pulido, Gonzalo

Abstract

Este proyecto se basa en dos pilares fundamentales: genoDraw, una herramienta especializada en la creación, visualización y gestión de diagramas genéticos, y FHIR, un conjunto de estándares desarrollados por HL7 que facilitan la interoperabilidad en la atención médica. Un diagrama genético es una representación gráfica de las relaciones familiares y la herencia de características genéticas, utilizado para visualizar la estructura familiar y posibles patrones de enfermedades hereditarias. Por otra parte, la interoperabilidad se refiere a la capacidad de diferentes sistemas y dispositivos para intercambiar, interpretar y utilizar información de manera coordinada. La herramienta genoDraw permite la creación y carga de diagramas genéticos, representando la estructura familiar de manera intuitiva. Sin embargo, enfrenta el desafío de la falta de un estándar universal que permita la compatibilidad con diversas herramientas. Aquí es donde entra en juego FHIR, proporcionando una solución estándar para la interoperabilidad. A lo largo del tiempo, FHIR ha mejorado significativamente la forma en que la información de salud se intercambia entre distintos sistemas y dispositivos. Esto ha resultado en diagnósticos más precisos, decisiones clínicas más rápidas y un cuidado más eficiente y personalizado para los pacientes. El objetivo principal de este trabajo de fin de grado es continuar desarrollando genoDraw, incorporando nuevas funcionalidades para la exportación e importación de mensajes médicos en formato FHIR. Esto permitirá que los diagramas genéticos creados con genoDraw se integren perfectamente con otras aplicaciones y sistemas médicos. Asimismo, se habilitará la conversión de mensajes FHIR a un formato compatible con genoDraw. Este proyecto no solo amplía las capacidades de genoDraw, sino que también crea un puente crucial entre la representación gráfica de la información genética y la interoperabilidad en la atención médica. La integración de estas dos herramientas gara

Abstract

New transport technologies have historically influenced how cities are shaped, while urban form is known to influence travel behaviour. But this reciprocal relationship is seldom operationalized in practice due to the disciplinary gap between urban design and transport planning. The two are often linked through a 'predict and provide' workflow, which is problematic in the context of emerging technologies such as AVs. This paper argues for a more iterative design and transport simulation workflow, through design experiments. One design experiment is illustrated using Sketch MATSim, to investigate the impact of network design on the performance of shared automated vehicles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the role of courts in resolving conflicts concerning the expropriation of real estate in Poland. The following research questions were posed: what are the main reasons for conflicts concerning expropriations? how are conflicts concerning expropriations ruled by the court? what are the analogies and differences concerning expropriation conflicts in Poland vis-avis other contexts (discussed in the literature)? From the database of all judgments of Provincial Administrative Courts, 1,059 judgments concerning the expropriation of real estate from 2004 to 2022 were identified and analysed. 76.32% of all judgments examined contained a ruling whereby the court confirmed the legitimacy of the expropriation. The expropriation itself was challenged in only 7.93% of the cases. On the other hand, 48.35% of all judgments examined confirmed the legitimacy of the amount of compensation awarded for expropriation. Road investments justified 50% of all expropriations challenged before the courts. Allegations concerning the amount of compensation occurred in 56% of the examined cases. There were allegations of non-compliance with spatial planning acts in only 5.97% of the cases. The article proposes a method to assess the rationale of judicial decisions in public policies. The article shows a path for statistical analyses of judicial decisions. A broader combination of legal context and statistical research is possible based on the analyses indicated.
