1. A Scoping Review of Undergraduate Anatomy and Physiology Education: Approaches to Evaluating Student Outcomes in the United States

Author: Emily A. Royse, Nicholas A. Pullen, Andi Cogswell, and Emily A. Holt
Abstract: Studies document difficulties undergraduate pre-nursing and allied health students face when learning human anatomy and physiology (A&P) course content. A comprehensive synthesis exploring the teaching practices within the course and how those practices are evaluated is warranted. This scoping literature review identified 78 journal articles investigating teaching practices, and we charted their research methods, student outcomes, and institutional contexts. Content analysis found the teaching practices described most frequently in A&P education research literature involved multiple aligned changes across the curriculum, including student activities, course delivery, and assessments. Critical appraisal of study methodologies revealed that most studies in undergraduate A&P were longitudinal, included comparison groups, and used simple inferential statistics. In contrast, few studies listed limitations of their research, collected data from multiple institutions, or reported student demographic data. We believe these factors pose notable limitations to the interpretation of A&P education studies across institutional contexts. The results of this review identify future lines of inquiry to enrich existing evidence about pedagogical interventions in A&P courses.

Abstract: The JWST and ALMA have detected emission lines from the ionized interstellar medium (ISM), including [OII], [OIII], and hydrogen Balmer series lines, in some of the first galaxies at z>6. These measurements present an opportunity to better understand galaxy assembly histories and may allow important tests of state-of-the-art galaxy formation simulations. It is challenging, however, to model these lines in their proper cosmological context given the huge dynamic range in spatial scales involved. In order to meet this challenge, we introduce a novel sub-grid line emission modeling framework. The framework uses the high-z zoom-in simulation suite from the Feedback in Realistic Environments (FIRE) collaboration. The line emission signals from HII regions within each simulated FIRE galaxy are modeled using the semi-analytic HIILines code. A machine learning, Mixture Density Network, approach is then used to determine the conditional probability distribution for the line luminosity to stellar-mass ratio from the HII regions around each simulated stellar particle given its age, metallicity, and its galaxy's total stellar mass. This conditional probability distribution can then be applied to predict the line luminosities around stellar particles in lower resolution, yet larger volume cosmological simulations. As an example, we apply this approach to the Illustris-TNG simulations at z=6. The resulting predictions for the [OII], [OIII], and Balmer line luminosities as a function of star-formation rate agree well with current observations. Our predictions differ, however, from related work in the literature which lack detailed sub-grid ISM models. This highlights the importance of our multi-scale simulation modeling framework. Finally, we provide forecasts for future line luminosity function measurements from the JWST and quantify the cosmic variance in such surveys., Comment: 19 pages, 12 figures

Abstract: The EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to survey star formation over cosmological time scales using intensity mapping in the 420 - 540 GHz frequency range. EXCLAIM uses a fully cryogenic telescope coupled to six on-chip spectrometers featuring kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) to achieve high sensitivity, allowing for fast integration in dark atmospheric windows. The telescope receiver is cooled to $\approx$ 1.7 K by immersion in a superfluid helium bath and enclosed in a superfluid-tight shell with a meta-material anti-reflection coated silicon window. In addition to the optics and the spectrometer package, the receiver contains the magnetic shielding, the cryogenic segment of the spectrometer readout, and the sub-Kelvin cooling system. A three-stage continuous adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator (CADR) keeps the detectors at 100 mK while a $^4$He sorption cooler provides a 900 mK thermal intercept for mechanical suspensions and coaxial cables. We present the design of the EXCLAIM receiver and report on the flight-like testing of major receiver components, including the superfluid-tight receiver window and the sub-Kelvin coolers., Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures, 1 table

Abstract: The investigation of triggers causing the onset and intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation (NHG) during the late Pliocene is essential for understanding the global climate system, with important implications for projecting future climate changes. Despite their critical roles in the global climate system, influences of land-ocean interactions on high-latitude ice sheets remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a high-resolution Asian dust record from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1208 in the North Pacific, which lies along the main route of the westerlies. Our data indicate that atmosphere-land-ocean interactions affected aeolian dust emissions through modulating moisture and vegetation in dust source regions, highlighting a critical role of terrestrial systems in initiating the NHG as early as 3.6 Myr ago. Combined with additional multi-proxy and model results, we further show that westerly wind strength was enhanced, mainly at low-to-middle tropospheric levels, during major glacial events at about 3.3 and 2.7 Myr ago. We suggest that coupled responses of Earths surface dynamics and atmospheric circulation in the Plio-Pleistocene likely involved feedbacks related to changes in paleogeography, ocean circulation, and global climate.

Abstract: The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from $2009-2015$. Upon its conclusion, the complementary VVV eXtended (VVVX) survey has expanded both the temporal as well as spatial coverage of the original VVV area, widening it from $562$ to $1700$ sq. deg., as well as providing additional epochs in $JHK_{\rm s}$ filters from $2016-2023$. With the completion of VVVX observations during the first semester of 2023, we present here the observing strategy, a description of data quality and access, and the legacy of VVVX. VVVX took $\sim 2000$ hours, covering about 4% of the sky in the bulge and southern disk. VVVX covered most of the gaps left between the VVV and the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) areas and extended the VVV time baseline in the obscured regions affected by high extinction and hence hidden from optical observations. VVVX provides a deep $JHK_{\rm s}$ catalogue of $\gtrsim 1.5\times10^9$ point sources, as well as a $K_{\rm s}$ band catalogue of $\sim 10^7$ variable sources. Within the existing VVV area, we produced a $5D$ map of the surveyed region by combining positions, distances, and proper motions of well-understood distance indicators such as red clump stars, RR Lyrae, and Cepheid variables. In March 2023 we successfully finished the VVVX survey observations that started in 2016, an accomplishment for ESO Paranal Observatory upon 4200 hours of observations for VVV+VVVX. The VVV+VVVX catalogues complement those from the Gaia mission at low Galactic latitudes and provide spectroscopic targets for the forthcoming ESO high-multiplex spectrographs MOONS and 4MOST., Comment: 17 pages, 11 figures (+ appendix).

6. A Measurement of CO(3-2) Line Emission from eBOSS Galaxies at $z\sim 0.5$ using Planck Data

Author: Roy, Anirban, Battaglia, Nicholas, and Pullen, Anthony R.
Subjects: Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies, Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics
Abstract: Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a novel observational technique in astrophysics that utilizes the integrated emission from multiple atomic and molecular transition lines from galaxies to probe the complex physics of galaxy formation and evolution, as well as the large-scale structure of the universe. Modeling multiple line luminosities of galaxies with varying masses or their host halo masses poses significant uncertainty due to the lack of observational data across a wide redshift range and the intricate nature of astrophysical processes, making them challenging to model analytically or in simulations. While future experiments aim to measure multiple line intensities up to $z\sim 8$ across a wide volume using tomographic methods, we leverage publicly available datasets from the CMB experiment Planck and the galaxy survey eBOSS to constrain the CO(3-2) emission from galaxies. We correlate galaxies from eBOSS data onto the full-sky CO(2-1) map produced by Planck and report the first measurement of the average CO(3-2) intensity, $I_{CO} = 45.7 \pm 14.2\, \mathrm{Jy/sr}$ at $z\sim 0.5$ with $3.2\sigma$ confidence. Our findings demonstrate that stacking methods are already viable with existing observations from CMB experiments and galaxy surveys, and are complementary to traditional LIM experiments., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures

Abstract: The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) is an Explorer-class mission concept to measure the energy spectrum and linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). A single cryogenic Fourier transform spectrometer compares the sky to an external blackbody calibration target, measuring the Stokes I, Q, U parameters to levels ~200 Jy/sr in each 2.65 degree diameter beam over the full sky, in each of 300 frequency channels from 28 GHz to 6 THz. With sensitivity over 1000 times greater than COBE/FIRAS, PIXIE opens a broad discovery space for the origin, contents, and evolution of the universe. Measurements of small distortions from a CMB blackbody spectrum provide a robust determination of the mean electron pressure and temperature in the universe while constraining processes including dissipation of primordial density perturbations, black holes, and the decay or annihilation of dark matter. Full-sky maps of linear polarization measure the optical depth to reionization at nearly the cosmic variance limit and constrain models of primordial inflation. Spectra with sub-percent absolute calibration spanning microwave to far-IR wavelengths provide a legacy data set for analyses including line intensity mapping of extragalactic emission and the cosmic infrared background amplitude and anisotropy. We describe the PIXIE instrument sensitivity, foreground subtraction, and anticipated science return from both the baseline 2-year mission and a potential extended mission., Comment: 44 pages with 18 figures and 4 tables, including full sensitivity curves.

Abstract: Abstract Magmatic processes that occur during the transition from oceanic to continental subduction and collision in orogens are critical and still poorly resolved. Oceanic slab detachment in particular is hypothesized to mark a fundamental change in magmatism and deformation within an orogen. Here, we report on two Quaternary volcanic centers of Myanmar that may help us better understand the process of slab detachment. The Monywa volcanic rocks are composed of low‐K tholeiitic, medium‐K calk‐alkaline, and high‐K to shoshonitic basalts with arc signatures, while the Singu volcanic rocks show geochemical characteristics similar to asthenosphere‐derived magmas. These volcanic rocks have low Os concentrations but extremely high 187Os/186Osi ratios (0.1498 to 0.3824) due to minor (

9. Addressing the Teacher Shortage in Australia: What Do the Initial Teacher Education (ITE) Completion Data Tell Us?

Author: Loan Dao, Jeanne Allen, Darren Pullen, and Scott Cowie
Abstract: With projections from the Australian federal government indicating an impending exacerbation of the teacher shortage by 2025, it is timely to explore potential approaches that could help mitigate this imminent national crisis. In teaching, there is an historical tendency for the teaching profession to attract more women than men and this study therefore aims to analyse trends in female completion rates of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) degrees. The study objective was to identify the specific teaching degree levels (undergraduate and postgraduate) and modes of attendance that are most likely to continue attracting women to pursue careers in teaching. This research relies on non-identifiable open access data obtained from Australian ITE providers between 2001 and 2021, which have been collected by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment. The study findings reveal an upward trend in female completions of ITE programs offered through external and multimodal study modes, while the internal mode of attendance show a decline. These findings hold significant implications for policy and practice, suggesting the need to enhance the accessibility of external and multimodal ITE degrees for women.

Abstract: Abstract Pancreatic islets are 3D micro-organs that maintain β-cell functionality through cell–cell and cell-matrix communication. While primary islets, the gold standard for in vitro models, have a short culture life of approximately 1–2 weeks, we developed a novel protocol that employs reformed islets following dispersion coupled with a fine-tuned culture environment. Reformed islets exhibit physiological characteristics similar to primary islets, enabling high-resolution imaging and repeated functional assessment. Unlike other in vitro platforms, reformed islets retain an immune population, allowing the study of interactions between β cells and resident and infiltrating immune cells. Analyses showed that reformed islets have a similar composition and cytoarchitecture to primary islets, including macrophages and T cells, and can secrete insulin in response to glucose. Reformed islets exhibited partial dedifferentiation compared to native islets but were otherwise transcriptionally similar. The reformed islets offer a useful platform for studying diabetes pathology and can recapitulate both T1DM and T2DM disease milieus, providing an advantage over other models, such as mouse and human β-cell lines, which lack the input of non-β-endocrine cells and immune cell crosstalk.

18. A New Probe of the High-z BAO scale: BAO tomography With CMB $\times$ LIM-Nulling Convergence

Author: Fronenberg, Hannah, Maniyar, Abhishek S., Liu, Adrian, and Pullen, Anthony R.
Subjects: Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics, Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract: Standard rulers such as the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale serve as workhorses for precision tests of cosmology, enabling distance measurements that probe the geometry and expansion history of our Universe. Aside from BAO measurements from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), most standard ruler techniques operate at relatively low redshifts and depend on biased tracers of the matter density field. In a companion paper, we explored the scientific reach of nulling estimators, where CMB lensing convergence maps are cross-correlated with linear combinations of similar maps from line intensity mapping (LIM) to precisely null out the low-redshift contributions to CMB lensing. We showed that nulling estimators can be used to constrain the high redshift matter power spectrum and showed that this spectrum exhibits discernible BAO features. Here we propose using these features as a standard ruler at high redshifts that does not rely on biased tracers. Forecasting such a measurement at $z \sim 5$, we find that next-generation instruments will be able to constrain the BAO scale to percent-level precision at $7.2 \%$, while our futuristic observing scenario can constrain the BAO scale to $4\%$ precision. This constitutes a fundamentally new kind of BAO measurement during early epochs in our cosmic history., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2309.06477

Subjects: Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics, Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract: Lensing reconstruction maps from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) provide direct observations of the matter distribution of the universe without the use of a biased tracer. Such maps, however, constitute projected observables along the line of sight that are dominated by their low-redshift contributions. To cleanly access high-redshift information, Maniyar et al. showed that a linear combination of lensing maps from both CMB and line intensity mapping (LIM) observations can exactly null the low-redshift contribution to CMB lensing convergence. In this paper we explore the scientific returns of this nulling technique. We show that LIM-nulling estimators can place constraints on standard $\Lambda$CDM plus neutrino mass parameters that are competitive with traditional CMB lensing. Additionally, we demonstrate that as a clean probe of the high-redshift universe, LIM-nulling can be used for model-independent tests of cosmology beyond $\Lambda$CDM and as a probe of the high-redshift matter power spectrum., Comment: 20 pages, 14 figures

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Post-COVID-19 condition (also known as long COVID) is an emerging chronic illness potentially affecting millions of people. We aimed to evaluate whether outpatient COVID-19 treatment with metformin, ivermectin, or fluvoxamine soon after SARS-CoV-2 infection could reduce the risk of long COVID. METHODS: We conducted a decentralised, randomised, quadruple-blind, parallel-group, phase 3 trial (COVID-OUT) at six sites in the USA. We included adults aged 30-85 years with overweight or obesity who had COVID-19 symptoms for fewer than 7 days and a documented SARS-CoV-2 positive PCR or antigen test within 3 days before enrolment. Participants were randomly assigned via 2 × 3 parallel factorial randomisation (1:1:1:1:1:1) to receive metformin plus ivermectin, metformin plus fluvoxamine, metformin plus placebo, ivermectin plus placebo, fluvoxamine plus placebo, or placebo plus placebo. Participants, investigators, care providers, and outcomes assessors were masked to study group assignment. The primary outcome was severe COVID-19 by day 14, and those data have been published previously. Because the trial was delivered remotely nationwide, the a priori primary sample was a modified intention-to-treat sample, meaning that participants who did not receive any dose of study treatment were excluded. Long COVID diagnosis by a medical provider was a prespecified, long-term secondary outcome. This trial is complete and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510194. FINDINGS: Between Dec 30, 2020, and Jan 28, 2022, 6602 people were assessed for eligibility and 1431 were enrolled and randomly assigned. Of 1323 participants who received a dose of study treatment and were included in the modified intention-to-treat population, 1126 consented for long-term follow-up and completed at least one survey after the assessment for long COVID at day 180 (564 received metformin and 562 received matched placebo; a subset of participants in the metformin vs placebo trial were also randomly assigned to receive ivermectin or fluvoxamine). 1074 (95%) of 1126 participants completed at least 9 months of follow-up. 632 (56·1%) of 1126 participants were female and 494 (43·9%) were male; 44 (7·0%) of 632 women were pregnant. The median age was 45 years (IQR 37-54) and median BMI was 29·8 kg/m2 (IQR 27·0-34·2). Overall, 93 (8·3%) of 1126 participants reported receipt of a long COVID diagnosis by day 300. The cumulative incidence of long COVID by day 300 was 6·3% (95% CI 4·2-8·2) in participants who received metformin and 10·4% (7·8-12·9) in those who received identical metformin placebo (hazard ratio [HR] 0·59, 95% CI 0·39-0·89; p=0·012). The metformin beneficial effect was consistent across prespecified subgroups. When metformin was started within 3 days of symptom onset, the HR was 0·37 (95% CI 0·15-0·95). There was no effect on cumulative incidence of long COVID with ivermectin (HR 0·99, 95% CI 0·59-1·64) or fluvoxamine (1·36, 0·78-2·34) compared with placebo. INTERPRETATION: Outpatient treatment with metformin reduced long COVID incidence by about 41%, with an absolute reduction of 4·1%, compared with placebo. Metformin has clinical benefits when used as outpatient treatment for COVID-19 and is globally available, low-cost, and safe.

Abstract: The burden of senescent hepatocytes correlates with the severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but the mechanisms driving senescence and how it exacerbates MASLD are poorly understood. Hepatocytes experience lipotoxicity and become senescent when Smoothened (Smo) is deleted to disrupt Hedgehog signaling. We aimed to determine whether the secretomes of Smo-deficient hepatocytes perpetuate senescence to drive MASLD progression. RNA-Seq analysis of liver samples from human and murine cohorts with MASLD confirmed that hepatocyte populations in MASLD livers were depleted of Smo + cells and enriched with senescent cells. When fed a choline-deficient, amino acid-restricted high-fat diet (CDA-HFD) to induce MASLD, Smo--mice had lower antioxidant markers and developed worse DNA damage, senescence, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis than did Smo + mice. Sera and hepatocyte-conditioned medium from Smo--mice were depleted of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), a protein that maintains mitochondrial fitness. Treating Smo-- hepatocytes with TP reduced senescence and lipotoxicity, whereas inhibiting TP in Smo + hepatocytes had the opposite effect and exacerbated hepatocyte senescence, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis in CDA-HFD-fed mice. We conclude that inhibition of Hedgehog signaling in hepatocytes promoted MASLD by suppressing hepatocyte production of proteins that prevent lipotoxicity and senescence., Introduction Over the past 50 years, much of the world's population has transitioned into a state of relative energy surplus due to improvements in food availability and declining demands for [...]

Abstract: The Genomics Education Partnership (GEP) engages students in a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE). To better understand the student attributes that support success in this CURE, we asked students about their attitudes using previously published scales that measure epistemic beliefs about work and science, interest in science, and grit. We found, in general, that the attitudes students bring with them into the classroom contribute to two outcome measures, namely, learning as assessed by a pre- and postquiz and perceived self-reported benefits. While the GEP CURE produces positive outcomes overall, the students with more positive attitudes toward science, particularly with respect to epistemic beliefs, showed greater gains. The findings indicate the importance of a student's epistemic beliefs to achieving positive learning outcomes.

Abstract: The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) is an Explorer-class mission concept to measure the spectrum and polarization of the cosmic microwave background. Cosmological signals are small compared to the instantaneous instrument noise, requiring strict control of instrumental signals. The instrument design provides multiple levels of null operation, signal modulation, and signal differences, with only few-percent systematic error suppression required at each level. Jackknife tests based on discrete instrument symmetries provide an independent means to identify, model, and remove remaining instrumental signals. We use detailed time-ordered simulations, including realistic performance and tolerance parameters, to evaluate the instrument response to broad classes of systematic errors for both spectral distortions and polarization. The largest systematic errors contribute additional white noise at the few-percent level compared to the dominant photon noise. Coherent instrumental effects which do not integrate down are smaller still, and remain several orders of magnitude below the targeted cosmological signals., Comment: 37 pages including 23 figures

Abstract: Line-intensity mapping (LIM) is a promising technique to constrain the global distribution of galaxy properties. To combine LIM experiments probing different tracers with traditional galaxy surveys and fully exploit the scientific potential of these observations, it is necessary to have a physically motivated modeling framework. As part of developing such a framework, in this work we introduce and model the conditional galaxy property distribution (CGPD), i.e. the distribution of galaxy properties conditioned on the host halo mass and redshift. We consider five galaxy properties, including the galaxy stellar mass, molecular gas mass, galaxy radius, gas phase metallicity and star formation rate (SFR), which are important for predicting the emission lines of interest. The CGPD represents the full distribution of galaxies in the five dimensional property space; many important galaxy distribution functions and scaling relations, such as the stellar mass function and SFR main sequence, can be derived from integrating and projecting it. We utilize two different kinds of cosmological galaxy simulations, a semi-analytic model and the IllustrisTNG hydrodynamic simulation, to characterize the CGPD and explore how well it can be represented using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). We find that with just a few ($\sim 3$) Gaussian components, a GMM can describe the CGPD of the simulated galaxies to high accuracy for both simulations. The CGPD can be mapped to LIM or other observables by constructing the appropriate relationship between galaxy properties and the relevant observable tracers., Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures

Abstract: High resolution cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments have allowed us to precisely measure the CMB temperature power spectrum down to very small scales (multipole $\ell \sim 3000$). Such measurements at multiple frequencies enable separating the primary CMB anisotropies with other signals like CMB lensing, thermal and kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects (tSZ and kSZ), and cosmic infrared background (CIB). In this paper, we explore another signal of interest at these frequencies that should be present in the CMB maps: extragalactic CO molecular rotational line emissions, which are the most widely used tracers of molecular gas in the line intensity mapping experiments. Using the SIDES simulations adopted for top hat bandpasses at 150 and 220 GHz, we show that the cross-correlation of the CIB with CO lines has a contribution similar to the CIB-tSZ correlation and the kSZ power, thereby contributing a non-negligible amount to the total power at these scales. This signal, therefore, may significantly impact the recently reported $\geq 3\sigma$ detection of the kSZ power spectrum from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) collaboration, as the contribution of the CO lines is not considered in such analyses. Our results also provide a new way of measuring the CO power spectrum in cross-correlation with the CIB. Finally, these results show that the CO emissions present in the CMB maps will have to be accounted for in all the CMB auto-power spectrum and cross-correlation studies involving a LSS tracer., Comment: 8 pages main text and bibliography + 2 pages appendices, 6 figures.

Abstract: While the medical community continues to recognize the contributions of disordered sleep to the burden of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), the medical literature lacks characterization of the patient burden of sleep disorders by people living with PWS and their caregivers. We developed and fielded a 72-question survey to the online PWS community, to query caregivers about their experiences with sleep symptoms. Respondents for all age groups reported sleep-disordered breathing (40 %), cataplexy-like symptoms (28.4 %), and insomnia (43.5 %). The presentation of cataplexy-like symptoms tended to change as children aged, presenting initially (ages 0–4 years) as head bobbing while eating, then transitioning to knee buckling between the ages of 5–12 years. Finally, loss of generalized tone associated with extreme emotions became more common in the teenage years. Frequent screening for potentially treatable sleep disorders should be considered the standard of care for individuals with PWS.

27. Walking the Walk: Democratizing Change in Teacher Education

Author: Beasy, Kim, Hunter, Mary Ann, Hicks, David, Pullen, Darren, Brett, Peter, Thomas, Damon, Reaburn, Robyn, Baker, William, Fan, Frances, Cruickshank, Vaughan, Stephenson, Elspeth, and Hatisaru, Vesife
Abstract: In this essay, as a group of teacher educators, we discuss our experience of "walking the walk" of teacher education transformation at a time of urgent change. We reflect upon our process of integrating three key priorities in our preservice teacher education courses: education for sustainability; trauma-informed practice; and Indigenizing curriculum. Specifically, we reflect on how these processes were adapted according to the needs of individual courses and units, while at the same time making space for our strengths and our "unlearnings" as academics, and for the ethical considerations that troubled us. In this essay, we explore walking the walk of change and integrating social, environmental, and cultural justice principles in our work together toward equipping and enabling new teachers to be themselves agents of change.

Abstract: Drinking water and sanitation services in high-income countries typically bring widespread health and other benefits to their populations. Yet gaps in this essential public health infrastructure persist, driven by structural inequalities, racism, poverty, housing instability, migration, climate change, insufficient continued investment, and poor planning. Although the burden of disease attributable to these gaps is mostly uncharacterised in high-income settings, case studies from marginalised communities and data from targeted studies of microbial and chemical contaminants underscore the need for continued investment to realise the human rights to water and sanitation. Delivering on these rights requires: applying a systems approach to the problems; accessible, disaggregated data; new approaches to service provision that centre communities and groups without consistent access; and actionable policies that recognise safe water and sanitation provision as an obligation of government, regardless of factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, ability to pay, citizenship status, disability, land tenure, or property rights.

Subjects: Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract: Context. The globular cluster (GC) system of Circinus galaxy has not been probed previously partly because of the location of the galaxy at - 3.8$^\circ$ Galactic latitude which suffers severely from interstellar extinction, stellar crowding, and Galactic foreground contamination. However, the deep near-infrared (NIR) photometry by the VISTA Variables in the Via L\'actea Extended Survey (VVVX) in combination with the precise astrometry of Gaia EDR3 allow us to map GCs in this region. Aims. Our long-term goal is to study and characterise the distributions of GCs and Ultra-compact dwarfs of Circinus galaxy which is the nearest Seyfert II galaxy. Here we conduct the first pilot search for GCs in this galaxy. Methods. We use NIR VVVX photometry in combination with Gaia EDR3 astrometric features such as astrometric excess noise and BP/RP excess factor to build the first homogeneous catalogue of GCs in Circinus galaxy. A robust combination of selection criteria allows us to effectively clean interlopers from our sample. Results. We report the detection of$\sim$ 70 GC candidates in this galaxy at a 3 $\sigma$ confidence level. They show a bimodal colour distribution with the blue peak at (G-Ks)$_0$ = 0.985$\pm$0.127 mag with a dispersion of 0.211$\pm$0.091 mag and the red peak at (G-Ks)$_0$ = 1.625$\pm$0.177 mag with a dispersion of 0.482$\pm$0.114 mag. A GC specific frequency (S$_N$) of 1.3$\pm$0.2 was derived for the galaxy, and we estimated a total population of 120$\pm$40 GCs. Based on the projected radial distribution it appears that Circinus has a different distribution of GC candidates than MW and M31. Conclusions. We demonstrate that Circinus galaxy hosts a sizeable number of cluster candidates. This result is the first leap towards understanding the evolution of old stellar clusters in this galaxy., Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures

30. Constraining the Star Formation Rate using Joint CIB Continuum and [CII] Intensity Mapping

Author: Zhou, Zilu, Maniyar, Abhishek S., and Pullen, Anthony R.
Subjects: Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics, Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies
Abstract: Line intensity mapping (LIM) experiments probing the nearby universe can expect a considerable amount of cosmic infrared background (CIB) contiuum emission coming from near and far-infrared galaxies. For the purpose of using the LIM data to constrain the star formation rate (SFR), we argue that the CIB continuum - traditionally treated as contamination - can be combined with the LIM signal to enhance the SFR constraints achievable. We first present a power spectrum model that is capable of joining continuum and line emissions that assume the same prior SFR model. We subsequently analyze the effectiveness of the joint model in the context of the EXperiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM), which utilizes the [CII] molecular line to study the SFR. We numerically compute the theoretical power spectra according to our model and the EXCLAIM survey specifics, and perform Fisher analysis to obtain SFR parameter constraints. We find that although the joint model has no considerable advantage over LIM alone assuming the current survey level of EXCLAIM, its effects become significant when we consider more optimistic values of survey resolution and angular span that are expected of future LIM experiments. By manipulating the Fisher formalism, we show that the CIB is not only an additional SFR sensitive signal, but also serves to break the SFR parameter degeneracy that naturally emerges from the [CII] Fisher matrix. For this reason, addition of the CIB will allow improvements in the survey parameters to be better reflected in the SFR constraints, and can be effectively utilized by future LIM experiments., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, will submit to MNRAS

Abstract: The next generation of giant ground and space telescopes will have the light-collecting power to detect and characterize potentially habitable terrestrial exoplanets using high-contrast imaging for the first time. This will only be achievable if the performance of Giant Segmented Mirror Telescopes (GSMTs) extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) systems are optimized to their full potential. A key component of an ExAO system is the wavefront sensor (WFS), which measures aberrations from atmospheric turbulence. A common choice in current and next-generation instruments is the pyramid wavefront sensor (PWFS). ExAO systems require high spatial and temporal sampling of wavefronts to optimize performance, and as a result, require large detectors for the WFS. We present a closed-loop testbed demonstration of a three-sided pyramid wavefront sensor (3PWFS) as an alternative to the conventional four-sided pyramid wavefront (4PWFS) sensor for GSMT-ExAO applications on the new Comprehensive Adaptive Optics and Coronagraph Test Instrument (CACTI). The 3PWFS is less sensitive to read noise than the 4PWFS because it uses fewer detector pixels. The 3PWFS has further benefits: a high-quality three-sided pyramid optic is easier to manufacture than a four-sided pyramid. We detail the design of the two components of the CACTI system, the adaptive optics simulator and the PWFS testbed that includes both a 3PWFS and 4PWFS. A preliminary experiment was performed on CACTI to study the performance of the 3PWFS to the 4PWFS in varying strengths of turbulence using both the Raw Intensity and Slopes Map signal processing methods. This experiment was repeated for a modulation radius of 1.6 lambda/D and 3.25 lambda/D. We found that the performance of the two wavefront sensors is comparable if modal loop gains are tuned., Comment: 28 Pages, 15 Figures, and 4 Tables

Abstract: Leading health organisations and long-term athletic development models have identified the need to develop movement competencies in children and adolescents. The athletic motor skill competencies (AMSC) have been identified as key skills that form the foundations of all athletic movements. The AMSC form an integral part of the long-term athletic development of youth, and improving these qualities should be central to coaches working with young individuals. Multiple movement competency screens assess some aspects of AMSC, but there is no consensus regarding which screens may be most appropriate for a given cohort or coaching environment. Chapter 3 provides an evaluation of the movement screens available to assess various AMSC and in turn considers their reliability, feasibility, strengths, and weaknesses when used with youth populations. The resistance training skill battery (RTSB), athletic introductory movement screen (AIMS), and tuck jump assessment (TJA) were all deemed to be useful screens and were subsequently utilised throughout the thesis. In Chapter 5 boys (n = 20) and girls (n = 26) aged 11-14 years old were part of a 7-week resistance training pilot study. The study examinedthe effects of delivering resistance training as part of the physical education curriculum on AMSC, physical performance, and psychosocial constructs (motivation to exercise, physical self-efficacy, and global self-esteem). Male and female intervention groups significantly improved RTSB (p > 0.05) whereas no changes were observed in the control groups. No changes were observed in the intervention groups TJA and only trivial and small non-significant changes in standing long jump performance. Significant increases in motivation of the male intervention group occurred. Resistance training integrated in physical education can improve AMSC in short-term interventions. Chapter 6 examined the relationships between AMSC, maturation, sex, body mass index (BMI), physical performance, and psychological constructs (motivation to exercise, physical self-efficacy, and global self-esteem) in a large cohort of boys (n = 119) and girls (n = 105) aged 11-13 years old. Trivial to moderate strength relationships were evident between AMSC and BMI (boys: rs= −0.183; girls: rs= −0.176), physical performance (boys: rs= 0.425; girls: rs= 0.397), and psychological constructs (boys: rs= 0.130-0.336; girls rs= 0.030-0.260). When the sample was divided into participants demonstrating higher and lower levels of competency (using the median split), higher levels of AMSC were related to significantly higher levels of physical performance (d = 0.25), motivation to exercise (d = 0.17), and physical self-efficacy (d= 0.15-0.19) in both boys and girls. AMSC have some associations with physical performance and psychological constructs. This may suggest that increasing AMSC could positively influence physical and psychological outcomes, but further research was needed to investigate this possibility. Chapter 7 examined the effects of an 11-week resistance training intervention as part of the physical education curriculum on AMSC, physical performance, and psychological constructs linked to physical activity behaviours. Male (n = 40) and female (n = 48) intervention groups significantly improved AIMS(p > 0.05) whereas no changes were observed in the male (n = 33) and female (n = 35) control groups. Both male and female intervention groups significantly improved standing long jump performance in comparison to control groups (p > 0.05). Only trivial changes in TJA and psychological constructs were observed in both groups. Findings indicate resistance trainingintegrated in physical education is effective atimprovingAMSC and physical performance but did not improve psychological constructs in school children. Chapter 8 presents a confessional tale with the primary researcher reflecting on some of the confounding influences to directing a successful intervention and the impact this can have on the researcher. The chapter reflects on experiences faced during the intervention presented in Chapter 6, uncovering some of the home truths about school-based interventions that are usually ignored such as pupil behaviour, teacher support, and implementing research into practice. Overall, this paper provides researchers with insights into the unexpected, and practitioners with suggestions to help navigate their own coaching interventions.

Subjects: Mental healing, RZ400-408, Psychology, BF1-990
Abstract: Background: Adolescence, the transitional phase between childhood and adulthood, involves significant biological, social, cognitive and emotional changes. In India, adolescents (10–18 years) form 21% of the population, increasing to 33% when including those aged 10–24 years, making India home to the world’s largest adolescent population. The concept of adolescence, unlike the biological process of puberty, is culturally determined and influenced by globalisation and changing societal values. Objectives: This article aims to (a) elucidate the barriers hindering transgender and gender diverse (TGD) youth in India from accessing gender affirmation, including familial rejection, constraining legal provisions and inadequate public health infrastructure; (b) underscore the impact of socio-cultural and political attitudes on health disparities faced by TGD youth, emphasising the need for comprehensive and individualised healthcare and socio-cultural support; (c) advocate for a socio-medical approach to address the unique challenges of Indian TGD youth, focusing on collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals, social institutions and policymakers; (d) propose strategies for improving access to early gender-affirmative care, including training healthcare providers, promoting comprehensive medical support and advocating for the rights of TGD youth. Methods: A blind review of literature was conducted using PUBMED/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Web of Science, PsycINFO and SCOPUS with keywords such as ‘transgender youth’, ‘nonbinary and gender diverse youth’, ‘gender-affirming medical care in India’ and ‘youth mental health’. The search eventually included peer-reviewed publications, books, reviews, editorials, opinion pieces, feature stories and individual case reports. Articles were screened and thematically analysed to synthesise findings. Results: The review highlights significant barriers to gender-affirming care for TGD youth in India, including familial rejection, restrictive legal frameworks and inadequate public health infrastructure. Socio-cultural and political attitudes contribute to health disparities, necessitating comprehensive healthcare and socio-cultural support. Conclusions: Addressing the challenges faced by TGD youth in India requires a socio-medical approach, emphasising collaborative efforts among healthcare providers, social institutions and policymakers. Strategies for improvement include training healthcare providers, promoting comprehensive medical support and advocating for the rights of TGD youth to ensure early and effective gender-affirmative care.

Abstract: We study background dynamics and the growth of matter perturbations in the extended quasidilaton setup of massive gravity. For the analysis of perturbations, we first choose a scalar field matter component and obtain the conditions under which all scalar perturbations are stable. We work in unitary gauge for the matter field, which allows us to directly map to known results in the limit of general relativity. By performing a parameter search, we find that the perturbations are unstable in general, while a particular choice of potential, where the scalar field effectively behaves like pressureless matter, allows for stable perturbations. We next consider the growth of matter perturbations in a cold dark matter-dominated Universe. Working in conformal Newtonian gauge, we obtain evolution equations for various observables including the growth factor and growth rate, and find scale-independent growth in the quasistatic and subhorizon approximations. We finally show how the Hubble parameter and matter perturbations evolve in massive gravity for a specific choice of parameter values, and how this evolution compares to the standard cosmological model consisting of a cosmological constant and cold dark matter., Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures.

Subjects: Nursing, RT1-120
Abstract: The learning accompanists (nurse educator), in the didactic situation within the context of a nursing college, is midst a process of transformation. This transformation has a direct influence on the learning accompanists didactic role fulfilment. Didactic support systems enables the learning accompanist to fulfil her/his didactic role. These didactic support systems should be managed during the process of transformation, in such a way that it enables the learning accompanist to fulfil her/his didactic role. A new creative approach to the management of the didactic situation is necessary. The goal of this study was to describe guidelines for the management of didactic support systems, at a nursing college, to enable the learning accompanist to fulfil her/his didactic role. An inductive, qualitative, contextual, exploring, descriptive strategy was used to reach the goal of the study. No explicit conceptual framework was used as point of departure. Because the participants are midst a process of transformation, their knowledge and experience was used as source of data, as they can express their needs and views the best. The goal of this study was reached by setting four objectives. The uniqueness of the study lies in the relevance within the current time frame context and that it expresses the needs of the learner accompanists and the views of the managers at a nursing college. An abundance of possibilities for further research was created.

Abstract: The Galactic globular cluster system is incomplete, especially in the low latitude regions of the Galactic bulge and disk. We report the physical characterization of twelve star clusters in the Milky Way, most of which are explored here for the first time. Our aim is determining their main physical parameters, such as reddening and extinction, metallicity, age, total luminosity, mean cluster proper motions (PMs), distances, in order to unveil their physical nature. We study the clusters using optical and near-infrared (NIR) datasets. We use the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3) PMs in order to perform a PM-decontamination procedure and build final catalogues. We match the Gaia EDR3 with the VISTA Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea extended (VVVX) survey and Two Micron All Sky survey (2MASS) in the NIR, in order to construct complete colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and investigate the clusters properties. The extinctions are evaluated using existing reddening maps, spanning $0.09\lesssim A_{Ks}\lesssim 0.86$ mag and $0.89 \lesssim A_{G}\lesssim 4.72$ mag in the NIR and optical, respectively. We obtain their heliocentric distances, that range from about 4 to 20 kpc, placing these clusters at $3\lesssim R_{G}\lesssim 14$ kpc from the Galactic centre. The best PARSEC isochrone fit yields a metallicity range of $-1.8<$[Fe/H]$<+0.3$ and an approximative age range of $2<$Age$<14$ Gyr. We find that all clusters have low-luminosities, with $-6.9

Abstract: A data sample collected with the LHCb detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$ is used to measure eleven $CP$ violation observables in $B^\pm\to Dh^\pm$ decays, where $h$ is either a kaon or a pion. The neutral $D$ meson decay is reconstructed in the three-body final states: $K^\pm\pi^\mp\pi^0$}; $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$; $K^+K^-\pi^0$ and the suppressed $\pi^\pm K^\mp\pi^0$ combination. The mode where a large $CP$ asymmetry is expected, $B^\pm\to [\pi^\pm K^\mp\pi^0]_DK^\pm$, is observed with a significance greater than seven standard deviations. The ratio of the partial width of this mode relative to that of the favoured mode, $B^\pm\to [K^\pm\pi^\mp\pi^0]_D K^\pm$, is $R_{{\rm ADS}(K)} = (1.27\pm0.16\pm0.02)\times 10^{-2}$. Evidence for a large $CP$ asymmetry is also seen: $A_{{\rm ADS}(K)} = -0.38\pm0.12\pm0.02$. Constraints on the CKM angle $\gamma$ are calculated from the eleven reported observables., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-036.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: The identification of charm jets is achieved at LHCb for data collected in 2015-2018 using a method based on the properties of displaced vertices reconstructed and matched with jets. The performance of this method is determined using a dijet calibration dataset recorded by the LHCb detector and selected such that the jets are unbiased in quantities used in the tagging algorithm. The charm-tagging efficiency is reported as a function of the transverse momentum of the jet. The measured efficiencies are compared to those obtained from simulation and found to be in good agreement., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-DP-2021-006.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: The photon polarization in $b \to s \gamma$ transitions is measured for the first time in radiative b-baryon decays exploiting the unique spin structure of $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda \gamma$ decays. A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $6\;fb^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $13\;TeV$ is used. The photon polarization is measured to be $\alpha_{\gamma}= 0.82^{\,+\,0.17\,+\,0.04}_{\,-\,0.26\,-\,0.13}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction and previous measurements in b-meson decays. Charge-parity breaking effects are studied for the first time in this observable and found to be consistent with $CP$ symmetry., Comment: All figures and tables, along with machine-readable versions and any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-030.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: The first full angular analysis and an updated measurement of the decay-rate $CP$ asymmetry of the $D^0 \to \pi^+\pi^-\mu^+\mu^-$ and $D^0 \to K^+K^-\mu^+\mu^-$ decays are reported. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. The full set of $CP$-averaged angular observables and their $CP$ asymmetries are measured as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are consistent with expectations from the standard model and with $CP$ symmetry., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-035.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector, seven decay modes of the $B_c^+$ meson into a $J/\psi$ or $\psi(2S)$ meson and three charged hadrons, kaons or pions, are studied. The decays $B_c^+\rightarrow ( \psi(2S) \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-)\pi^+ $, $B_c^+\rightarrow \psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, $B_c^+\rightarrow J/\psi K^+\pi^+\pi^-$ and $B_c^+\rightarrow K^+K^+K^-$ are observed for the first time, and evidence for the $B_c^+\rightarrow \psi(2S)K^+K^-\pi^+$ decay is found, where $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay modes. The ratios of branching fractions between the different $B_c^+$ decays are reported as well as the fractions of the decays proceeding via intermediate resonances. The results largely support the factorisation approach used for a theoretical description of the studied decays., Comment: 27 pages, 5 figures, All figures and tables are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-034.html (LHCb public pages)"

Abstract: Ground-based Augmentation System (GBAS) augments Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to support the precision approach and landing of aircraft. To guarantee integrity, existing single-frequency GBAS utilizes position-domain geometry screening to eliminate potentially unsafe satellite geometries by inflating one or more broadcast GBAS parameters. However, GBAS availability can be drastically impacted in low-latitude regions where severe ionospheric conditions have been observed. Thus, we developed a novel geometry-screening algorithm in this study to improve GBAS availability in low-latitude regions. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed method can provide 5-8 percentage point availability enhancement of GBAS at Gale\~ao airport near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, compared to existing methods., Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract: The centrality of heavy-ion collisions is directly related to the medium created therein. A procedure to determine the centrality of collisions with the LHCb detector is implemented for lead-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle\text{NN}}}=5\, \mathrm{TeV}$ and lead-neon fixed-target collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\scriptscriptstyle\text{NN}}}=69\, \mathrm{GeV}$. The energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter are used to determine and define the centrality classes. The correspondence between the number of participants and the centrality for the lead-lead collisions is in good agreement with the correspondence found in other experiments, and the centrality measurements for the lead-neon collisions presented here are the first performed in fixed-target collisions at the LHC., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://lhcbproject.web.cern.ch/Publications/p/LHCb-DP-2021-002.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: A search is performed for massive long-lived particles (LLP) decaying semileptonically into a muon and two quarks. Two kinds of LLP production processes were considered. In the first, a Higgs-like boson with mass from 30 to 200 GeV is produced by gluon fusion and decays into two LLPs. The analysis covers LLP mass values from 10 GeV up to about one half the Higgs-like boson mass. The second LLP production mode is directly from quark interactions, with LLP masses from 10 to 90 GeV. The LLP lifetimes considered range from 5 to 200 ps. This study uses LHCb data collected from proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 1/fb. No evidence of these long-lived states has been observed, and upper limits on the production cross-section times branching ratio have been set for each model considered., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-028.html (LHCb public pages)

Abstract: Two narrow resonant states are observed in the ${\it\Lambda}_b^0 K^-\pi^+$ mass spectrum using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13$~\rm TeV$, collected by the LHCb experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $6~{\rm fb}^{-1}$. The minimal quark content of the ${\it\Lambda}_b^0 K^-\pi^+$ system indicates that these are excited ${\it\Xi}_b^0$ baryons. The masses of the ${\it\Xi}_b(6327)^0$ and ${\it\Xi}_b(6333)^0$ states are $m({\it\Xi}_b(6327)^0) = 6327.28 ^{\,+\,0.23}_{\,-\,0.21} \pm 0.12 \pm 0.24~{\rm MeV}$ and $m({\it\Xi}_b(6333)^0) = 6332.69 ^{\,+\,0.17}_{\,-\,0.18} \pm 0.03 \pm 0.22~{\rm MeV}$, respectively, with a mass splitting of $\Delta m = 5.41 ^{\,+\,0.26}_{\,-\,0.27} \pm 0.12 ~{\rm MeV}$, where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and due to the ${\it\Lambda}_b^0$ mass measurement. The measured natural widths of these states are consistent with zero, with upper limits of $\Gamma({\it\Xi}_b(6327)^0)<2.20~(2.56) ~{\rm MeV}$ and $\Gamma({\it\Xi}_b(6333)^0)<1.60~(1.92) ~{\rm MeV}$ at a $90\%~(95\%)$ credibility level. The significance of the two-peak hypothesis is larger than nine (five) Gaussian standard deviations compared to the no-peak (one-peak) hypothesis. The masses, widths and resonant structure of the new states are in good agreement with the expectations for a doublet of 1$D$ ${\it\Xi}_b^0$ resonances., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-025.html

49. Removing Interlopers From Intensity Mapping Probes Of Primordial Non-Gaussianity

Author: Chen, Chang and Pullen, Anthony R.
Subjects: Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics
Abstract: Line intensity mapping (LIM) has the potential to produce highly precise measurements of scale-dependence bias from primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) due to its ability to map much larger volumes than are available from galaxy surveys. PNG parameterized by $f_{NL}$ leads to a scale-dependent correction to the bias, and therefore a correction to the line intensity power spectrum. However, LIM experiences contamination from foreground emission, including interloping emission lines from other redshifts which alter the power spectra of the maps at these scales, potentially biasing measurements of $f_{NL}$. Here we model the effect of line interlopers on upcoming line intensity mapping probes of primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) from inflation. As an example, we consider the $[\rm CII]$ line at target redshift $z_t = 3.6$ to probe PNG, with the important systematic concern being foreground contamination from CO lines residing at redshifts different from the target redshift. We find interloper lines can lead to a significant bias and an increase in errors for our PNG constraints, leading to a false positive for non-standard inflation models. We model how well the cross-correlation technique could reduce this interloper contamination. We find the uncertainty of $f_{NL}$ reduces by factors of two and six for local and orthogonal shape PNG respectively, and by a factor of five for local shape if we consider seven interloper lines, almost eliminating the effect of interlopers. This work shows that using cross-power and auto-power spectra of line intensity maps jointly could potentially remove the effects of interlopers when measuring non-Gaussianity., Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures

Abstract: A combination of measurements sensitive to the $CP$ violation angle $\gamma$ of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle and to the charm mixing parameters that describe oscillations between $D^0$ and $\bar{D}^0$ mesons is performed. Results from the charm and beauty sectors, based on data collected with the LHCb detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, are combined for the first time. This method provides an improvement on the precision of the charm mixing parameter $y$ by a factor of two with respect to the current world average. The charm mixing parameters are determined to be $x = (0.400^{\,+0.052}_{\,-0.053})\%$ and $y = (0.630^{\,+0.033}_{\,-0.030})\%$. The angle $\gamma$ is found to be $\gamma = (65.4^{\,+3.8}_{\,-4.2})^\circ$ and is the most precise determination from a single experiment., Comment: All figures and tables, along with any supplementary material and additional information, are available at https://cern.ch/lhcbproject/Publications/p/LHCb-PAPER-2021-033.html (LHCb public pages)
