A mechanism to generate varying speed of light via Higgs-dilaton coupling: theory and cosmological applications by Hoang Ky Nguyen

“…Abstract We probe into a class of scale-invariant actions, which allow the Higgs field $$\Phi $$ Φ to interact with a dilaton field $$\chi $$ χ of the background spacetime through the term $$\chi ^{2}\,\Phi ^{\dagger }\Phi $$ χ 2 Φ † Φ . Upon spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking, the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the Higgs field becomes proportional to $$\chi $$ χ . …”

Meson mixing bounds on Z ′ mass in the alignment limit: establishing the phenomenological viability of the 331 model by Patricio Escalona, João Paulo Pinheiro, A. Doff, C. A. de S. Pires

“…Three scenarios are explored: (i) V L u $$ {V}_L^u $$ = V CKM † $$ {V}_{\textrm{CKM}}^{\dagger } $$ (FCNCs restricted to D-mesons), (ii) V L d $$ {V}_L^d $$ = V CKM (dominant B s constraints), and (iii) a hybrid mixing pattern. …”

Analysis of years of life lost due to premature cancer mortality in the Russian Federation by Zh. V. Khailova, A. D. Kaprin, V. V. Omelyanovsky, D. N. Pustovalov, Yu. A. Agafonova, V. O. Kusakina, S. A. Ivanov, P. V. Shegai

“…Burden of disease estimation allows analyses to be carried out integrally, including cause and effect assessment. the rate of life years lost due to premature mortality is part of the burden of disease analysis. given that the burden of cancer is steadily increasing, analysis of the number of years lost makes it possible to identify new strategic directions, as well as to adjust decisions already made, in the health care of cancer patients.Purpose: to estimate the loss of life expectancy as a result of premature mortality from cancer in the population of the Russian Federation.Material and Methods. the analysis was carried out using international statistical databases for disease burden estimation, databases of the Federal state statistics service (Rosstat). to determine the target groups of priority reduction of mortality from neoplasms in the Russian Federation, an estimation of the lost years of life expectancy as a result of premature mortality in the form of the e† (e-dagger) indicator was carried out. the analyzed period of the study was 2010–2019.Results. the Russian Federation is characterized by the smallest share of losses from cancer in the structure of losses from all causes of death compared to the analyzed countries (Japan, France, germany, latvia, lithuania, estonia). …”

“…Lee’s open repulsion to the Catholic country and especially to the Spanish representations of the Virgin Mary would prompt her to write ‘The Virgin of the Seven Daggers’, the most consciously Decadent of all her works: a sacrilegious tale in which Catholic and Moorish Spain are intertwined to explore notions of spiritual and moral perversity. …”

Antiquities of the Vidivarii by Vladimir I. Kulakov

“…Artifacts that can be associated with the activity of the Vidivarii are massive hryvnias mainly with receding, expanding ends, coin and clothing hoards of the first half of the 5th century AD, three-beam brooches and plate clasps, biconical bowls and circular ceramics, knife-daggers. We draw a conclusion that the zone of settlement of German soldiers was initially located on the “island of Gepedoyos”, which is evidenced by the location of a large number of coin and clothing treasures on this hill. …”
