Avara luonto: Eläinten perhe-elämää
Eläinvanhemmilla on vaativa tehtävä kasvattaa pentujaan ja poikasiaan, sillä ympäröivä luonto on täynnä vaaroja ja arvaamattomia haasteita. Sarja on kertomus omistautumisesta, kekseliäisyydestä ja uhrauksista, joita luonnon kasvattajat tekevät varmistaakseen jälkikasvunsa selviytymisen. (Parenthood, Britannia 2024)

Framing Unionization on Facebook: Communication around Representation Elections in the United States
Digital media have become central to how labor unions communicate, organize, and sustain collective action. Yet little is known about how unions' online discourse relates to concrete outcomes such as representation elections. This study addresses the gap by combining National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) election data with 158k Facebook posts published by U.S. labor unions between 2015 and 2024. We focused on five discourse frames widely recognized in labor and social movement communication res…

The Very Faint X-ray Transient 4XMM J174610.7-290020 at the Galactic center
Very Faint X-ray Transients (VFXTs) are a class of X-ray binary systems that exhibit occasional outbursts with peak X-ray luminosities (L_X< 1e36 erg s^-1) much lower than typical X-ray transients. On 22nd February 2024, during its daily Galactic center monitoring, Swift-XRT detected a VFXT, 7 arcmin from Sgr A* dubbing it Swift J174610--290018. We aim to characterize the outburst that occurred in 2024, and a second, distinct outburst in 2025, to understand the nature and accretion flow propert…

In the light of the recent Particle Data Group (PDG) release, we revisit the running quark and lepton Yukawa couplings, together with the quark mixing parameters, across a range of energy scales. The 2024 PDG determinations of low-energy fermion masses feature significantly smaller uncertainties, resulting from a reduced estimate of systematic errors compared to the more conservative treatment in the 2022 analysis. To assess the impact of these changes, we present running parameters obtained us…

Good Morning #Canada
This morning, our old Mazda goes in for new brakes, front and back, and install the snow tires. While sipping my coffee, I was wondering about auto stats in Canada....
- Canada ranks 23rd worldwide in vehicles per 1,000 people. USA ranks 10th.
- COVID put and end to rising car ownership. In 2020 there were 473 vehicles for every 1,000 people. Today, it's estimated to be 408.
- 11% of Canadians own 3 or more vehicles, 2% own 5 or more.
- 9% own an electric vehicle or hybrid.
- 78% of Canadians say it would be impossible for them not to have a car.
- 41% wish they had better transportation options to avoid needing a car altogether.
- Compared to 2024, car ownership costs have increased 9 per cent, rising from $5,025 to $5,497 annually.

Symmetry analysis and new partially invariant solutions for the gas dynamics system with a special equation of state
This paper is a contribution to the symmetry analysis of the gas dynamics system in the vein of the ''podmodeli'' (submodels) program outlined by Ovsyannikov (1994). We consider the case of the special state equation, prescribing pressure to be the sum of entropy and an arbitrary function of density. Such a system has a 12-dimensional symmetry Lie algebra. This work advances the study of its four-dimensional subalgebras, continuing the work started in Siraeva (2024). For a large subset of not p…

Novel theoretical developments have allowed to connect microscopic disorder in bosonic collective excitations to the signatures in two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (Gómez Salvador et al. 2025). Here, we employ this framework to analyze the recently measured Josepshon echoes in optimally doped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (Liu et al. 2024). We consider the spatial gap inhomogeneities -observed in scanning tunneling microscopy- as input for the disorder in the superfluid density, and compute th…

Instead, parsers should be rewritten using modern abstractions like Parser Expression Grammars (PEG), which allow dynamic changes to the accepted query syntax and b…

I currently read “It can’t happen here” by Sinclair Lewis from 1935. It's about fictive events in the US in 1936: an election won by a senator turned dictator. It reads like a description of the US 2024/2025, except dear leader is Democrat, not Republican. I'm on page 90 (just finished chapter 11), almost 300 more to read, it really is hard!

Finding SSH Strict Key Exchange Violations by State Learning
SSH is an important protocol for secure remote shell access to servers on the Internet. At USENIX 2024, Bäumer et al. presented the Terrapin attack on SSH, which relies on the attacker injecting optional messages during the key exchange. To mitigate this attack, SSH vendors adopted an extension developed by OpenSSH called strict key exchange ("strict KEX"). With strict KEX, optional messages are forbidden during the handshake, preventing the attack. In practice, this should simplify the state …

We solve the Dirac equation for a massive charged fermion in the near-extremal charged Nariai black hole with the near-horizon geometry $\mathrm{dS}_2 \times \mathrm{S}^2$. At the one-loop level, contrary to the catastrophic emission of charged spinless bosons in [C.-M. Chen \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev.

We prove that the following problem is co-RE-complete and thus undecidable: given three simple polygons, is there a tiling of the plane where every tile is an isometry of one of the three polygons (either allowing or forbidding reflections)? This result improves on the best previous construction which requires five polygons.

Good Morning #Canada
Day #8 of The Dirt on Canadian Farming takes us back east to New Brunswick, which is not that "new" BTW. If it seems like we're jumping around the country in this series, with no logic, well, congratulations, you're paying attention.
New Brunswick's agricultural and agri-food sector reached a record of $1.23 billion in farm cash receipts in 2023, with potatoes, blueberries, maple syrup, and dairy all key products. Within that number lies good and bad news. The province had one of the largest decreases in farm operators in the country, but profits per farm have increased. Blueberry farms increased, and the province is 2nd in Canada in production. In 2024, New Brunswick announced the Agricultural Sustainability Program to assist farmers with reducing tillage, maintaining ponds and wetlands, and protecting pollinator habitat, critical and marginal landscapes, trees, riparian areas and crop management.
