It is interesting to compare the book with the earlier introductory Lectures, and to note the gradual broadening and development of psychoanalytical theory despite its firm retention of its basic truths and fundamental principles. This brief work of eighty pages contains, as is only to be expected, a clear summary of psychoanalytical theory explained in remarkably simple language. It contains nothing that will be new to the initiated student of Freudian psychopathology for it is intended only to be a general summary. It is interesting to note, in comparison with some of the earlier works, a rather more defensive attitude in the explanation of some aspects of psychopathological theory. The book benefits from this defensive attitude since it has resulted in a more explanatory and convincing description of these fundamental truths. This defensive attitude is

Generative AI has gained a significant foothold in the creative and artistic sectors. In this context, the concept of creative work is influenced by discourses originating from technological stakeholders and mainstream media. The framing of narratives surrounding creativity and artistic production not only reflects a particular vision of culture but also actively contributes to shaping it. In this article, we review online media outlets and analyze the dominant narratives around AI's impact on creative work that they convey. We found that the discourse promotes creativity freed from its material realisation through human labor. The separation of the idea from its material conditions is achieved by automation, which is the driving force behind productive efficiency assessed as the reduction of time taken to produce. And the withdrawal of the skills typically required in the execution of the creative process is seen as a means for democratising creativity. This discourse tends to correspond to the dominant techno-positivist vision and to assert power over the creative economy and culture.

During the construction of cable joints, three common defects may occur on the XLPE surface: scratches, moisture exposure, and adhered contaminated particles. To evaluate the impact of these defects on joint performance, this paper establishes a sheet model of XLPE insulation in cable joints to analyze the changes in the electric field under different defects and explore the influence of different defects on the electric field and breakdown voltage. Results of the study reveal that the electric field at the scratch site on XLPE produces severe distortion, being 1.6 times that of non-scratch areas. When exposed to moisture, the more conductive impurities present in the adhered contaminated water on the XLPE surface, the higher the conductivity of the contaminated water, thereby increasing its conductive performance and the electric field strength, which is 1.22–1.4 times that of the non-moist interface. When particles adhere to the XLPE surface, severe distortion occurs at the particle-interface electric field, approximately 1.5 times that of the defect-free interface. Scratches have the most significant impact on the electric field of XLPE insulation. Experimental results also demonstrate that the breakdown voltage without defects is 129.6 kV, while the breakdown voltage with scratch defects is 59.1 kV, moisture defects is 69.7 kV, and particle contamination defects is 59.2 kV, with scratches having the most significant impact on the breakdown voltage of XLPE insulation. These findings provide important insights into the influence of different defects on the insulation performance of cable joints.

Subsea production systems operate in harsh and hostile environments, making them subject to degradation that leads to failure. This is also the case for the final elements of safety-instrumented systems (SISs) that are installed to protect subsea production systems. As a result, the classic SIS performance assessment methods that assume constant failure rates may not be realistic for subsea elements, which may experience both random failures and natural degradation. The location of subsea production also provides challenges for accessing the system to perform repair, and this often results in delays before repair following revealed failures. In this paper, we explore all these issues by developing formulations that incorporate degradation and random failures as well as repair delays to assess the performance of the system. The degradation of the system is modeled with the Weibull distribution, while an exponential distribution is used to model the random failures. The impacts of different maintenance strategies on safety are also explored with case studies.

Ian Macdonald's works changed our perspective on so many parts of algebraic combinatorics and formal power series. This talk will display some selected works of the art of Ian Macdonald, representative of different periods of his oeuvre, and analyze how they resonate, both for the past development of our subject and for its future. This paper was prepared for the occasion of a lecture in tribute to Ian G. Macdonald, delivered at FPSAC 2024 in Bochum, Germany on 22 July 2024. I want to express thanks to the Executive Committee of FPSAC, the Organizing Committee of FPSAC 2024, and to the whole of our FPSAC 2024 community for making this lecture a possibility and for considering me for its delivery. Macdonald is my hero, and to be asked to play such a role in his legacy touches me deeply.

The status of the equivalence principle in modified symmetric teleparallel gravity is examined. In this theory, minimum length geodesics are distinct from autoparallel geodesics, that is, the ``shortest'' paths are not the ``straightest'' paths. We show that a standard argument that singles out metric geodesics in general relativity does not apply in modified symmetric teleparallel gravity. This is because the latter theory does not obey the equivalence principle in the sense of Weinberg. We argue, however, that the structure of the theory makes it inevitable that a freely falling test particle follows a shortest path, a geodesic of the metric. The geodesic equation that governs the motion of a freely falling test particle involves the Levi-Civita connection, not some other connection obtained by solving the connection field equations of the theory. This also has bearing on whether, under appropriate conditions, modified symmetric teleparallel gravity is fully equivalent to general relativity.

PRIMA (The PRobe for-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics) is a concept for a far-infrared (IR) observatory. PRIMA features a cryogenically cooled 1.8 m diameter telescope and is designed to carry two science instruments enabling ultra-high sensitivity imaging and spectroscopic studies in the 24 to 235 microns wavelength range. The resulting observatory is a powerful survey and discovery machine, with mapping speeds better by 2 - 4 orders of magnitude with respect to its far-IR predecessors. The bulk of the observing time on PRIMA should be made available to the community through a General Observer (GO) program offering 75% of the mission time over 5 years. In March 2023, the international astronomy community was encouraged to prepare authored contributions articulating scientific cases that are enabled by the telescope massive sensitivity advance and broad spectral coverage, and that could be performed within the context of GO program. This document, the PRIMA General Observer Science Book, is the edited collection of the 76 received contributions.

This is an overview of some of the works of Avi Wigderson, 2021 Abel prize laureate. Wigderson's contributions span many fields of computer science and mathematics. In this survey we focus on four subfields: cryptography, pseudorandomness, computational complexity lower bounds, and the theory of optimization over symmetric manifolds. Even within those fields, we are not able to mention all of Wigderson's results, let alone cover them in full detail. However, we attempt to give a broad view of each field, as well as describe how Wigderson's papers have answered central questions, made key definitions, forged unexpected connections, or otherwise made lasting changes to our ways of thinking in that field.

Este texto explora en la historia de las compañías nacional de teatro y sus contextos para buscar considerar su pertinencia en este momento. La investigación se desarrolló a partir de la revisión de libros, documentos, artículos académicos, artículos periodísticos y entrevistas con los responsables de algunas de las iniciativas. El resultado fue la identificación de cuatro hitos: el nacimiento en 1946 con Santiago Ontañón, el paso a la INSAD y a La Cabaña con Armando Robles Godoy y el Teatro Ambulante en 1957, el Teatro Nacional Popular con Alonso Alegría en 1971 y el Teatro Nacional en 1995 con Ruth Escudero. Tras la revisión, se concluyó que, en este momento, no es pertinente ni necesaria una compañía nacional, ya que competiría con la producción local.

Quality assessment of literary texts translation has always been irregular since some theorists believe that faithful translation to the original text is impossible. Therefore, through time, various theories for literary texts assessment have been created. In this paper with the comparative study of the value system of Lorca's "The moon" romance discourse and its Persian translation by Shamloo, has been emphasized the importance of discourse and context in the analysis and translation of literary texts, via investigating the factors such as assumption, previous background, utterances, the principle of cooperation, connection and coherence and theme. Besides, it has been shown that to what extent the translator could remain faithful to the source text by observing the discourse and context of the target language; as in this way Shamloo in the translation of “The moon” romance, has preserved all the linguistic coherence and also established rhetorical coherences except in one case. Therefore, by assuming that we know the necessity of paying attention to the discourse and context of the source-language and target-language in translation, Shampoo’s translation of “The moon” romance could be considered a faithful translation to the original text.

The development of neural networks and pretraining techniques has spawned many sentence-level tagging systems that achieved superior performance on typical benchmarks. However, a relatively less discussed topic is what if more context information is introduced into current top-scoring tagging systems. Although several existing works have attempted to shift tagging systems from sentence-level to document-level, there is still no consensus conclusion about when and why it works, which limits the applicability of the larger-context approach in tagging tasks. In this paper, instead of pursuing a state-of-the-art tagging system by architectural exploration, we focus on investigating when and why the larger-context training, as a general strategy, can work. To this end, we conduct a thorough comparative study on four proposed aggregators for context information collecting and present an attribute-aided evaluation method to interpret the improvement brought by larger-context training. Experimentally, we set up a testbed based on four tagging tasks and thirteen datasets. Hopefully, our preliminary observations can deepen the understanding of larger-context training and enlighten more follow-up works on the use of contextual information.

The physics laboratory-works creating and operating computer simulations experience is described. A significant amount of laboratory works can be classified as a "black box". The studied physical phenomenon is hidden from direct observation, the control is carried out by means of electrical measuring devices. It is difficult to distinguish physical reality from its imitation when performing such work, so the virtualization of this one does not require realistic images. The schematic representation of the laboratory installation greatly simplifies the process of creating a simulator. A unique set of installation parameters is formed for each student performing laboratory work on the simulator. These parameters are stored in Google Tables. Their transfer to the laboratory works html-template is carried out in encrypted form through the Google Apps script service. The simulator-parameters individualization contributes to the independence of the student's work when performing laboratory measurements in the conditions of the distance learning.

In this paper, we will study the large scale structure formation using the gravitational partition function. We will assertively argue that the system of gravitating galaxies can be analyzed using the Tsallis statistical mechanics. The divergences in the Tsallis gravitational partition function can be removed using the mathematical riches of the generalization of the dimensional regularization (GDR). The finite gravitational partition function thus obtained will be used to evaluate the thermodynamics of the system of galaxies and thus, to understand the clustering of galaxies in the universe. The correlation function which is believed to contain the information of clustering of galaxies will also be discussed in this formalism.

<b>Background:</b> We previously identified a yellow fever virus (YFV) genome-derived, short noncoding RNA (vsRNA) generated during infection that targets the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of a Src-kinase regulatory phosphatase (PTPRE), reducing PTPRE translation. By contrast, a related flavivirus (Zika) did not regulate PTPRE. We assessed the role of PTPRE in YFV and Zika replication. <b>Methods:</b> Human PTPRE with a β -Globulin 3’UTR to remove the 3’UTR sequence targeted by the YFV vsRNA was stably expressed in Jurkat and Huh7D cells using a tetracycline-regulated promoter. YFV (17D strain) and Zika (PR strain) were used to infect the different cell lines, and viral replication was measured by viral RNA and infectivity. Attempts to knock out PTPRE by CRISPR were unsuccessful, suggesting that PTPRE may be required for cell survival. <b>Results:</b> The expression of PTPRE with nontargeted 3′UTR led to a 100-fold reduction in infectious virus released from Jurkat and Huh7D cells by infectivity and a 3–10-fold reduction in viral RNA levels. Infectivity was restored in cells grown in doxycycline. By contrast, nontargeted PTPRE expression had no effect on the release of infectious Zika virus. PTPRE expression did not alter YFV attachment or entry. Despite reduced infectivity of the supernatant virus produced by PTPRE-nontargeted cells, YFV envelope content in culture supernatants was similar to that released by cells not expressing nontargeted PTPRE. Electron microscopy demonstrated large, empty-appearing viral particles in YFV-infected cells expressing nontargeted PTPRE that were not present in cells not expressing nontargeted PTPRE. <b>Conclusion</b><b>s</b><b>:</b> PTPRE is a novel YFV restriction factor that appears to increase the proportion of defective YFV particles released into cell culture media, potentially by preventing YFV RNA encapsidation. PTPRE’s effects on viral replication are not conserved among flaviviruses, as Zika replication was not altered by PTPRE overexpression. Understanding how PTPRE inhibits YFV may provide insight into YFV assembly and release and potentially help to identify novel drug targets.
