Better Than Bullets: Ethiopia is Committing War Crimes by Starving Civilian Populations in the Ethiopian Civil War

Abiy Ahmed is the prime minister of Ethiopia. He has been starving seven million people of a lone ethnic group in Ethiopia for over a year. He is a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a war criminal. He won a Nobel Peace Prize for allying with a dictator who oversees slavery and locks dissidents in shipping containers in the desert. He took power promising an unprecedented age of progress, then a year later, changed his mind and began to massacre protestors. He launched a civil war with a barrage from armed drones. He manufactured a famine by destroying food supplies, ruining the harvest, and then preventing all food deliveries and aid with a military blockade. When the international community began to care about the famine, after months of silence, he rallied his supporters in the capital, who held placards of genocidaires Putin and Xi along with his

Recent progress in computational exploration and design of functional materials

In this review, we summarize our work for the computational study and design of functional materials. Emphasis is laid on computational spectroscopy in the condensed phase as well as exploration of solar light-driven water splitting. In particular, dynamic ab initio methods have been in the focus of recent developments. This has enabled computationally efficient access to spectroscopic signatures, local properties, and innovative analysis of complex systems. Examples involve periodic subsystem density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory as well as (vibrational) spectroscopy such as Raman (optical activity) spectroscopy or sum frequency generation for in-depth study of interfaces. In addition, sophisticated approaches for exploration of water splitting processes are outlined, especially for water oxidation as one of the limiting factors for efficient water splitting devices. In-depth study of water oxidation mechanisms and related reaction networks in combination with (dynamic) consideration of environmental effects has allowed unprecedented new insight and discovery of essential factors influencing water oxidation behaviour, thus paving the way for novel design approaches for more efficient catalysts

Deep Radio Observations and the Role of the Cosmic Web in Galaxy Evolution

A current open question in the evolution of galaxies, is what are the physical mechanisms that cut off galaxies from their primordial gas reservoirs, resulting in the end of their star-formation capabilities? Recent observational programs have shown that the properties of galaxies show dependencies on their placement within the large-scale structure (LSS) of the universe. These observations have motivated recent developments in theoretical work that have shown how a galaxy\u27s interaction with the LSS may impact its connection to primordial gas supply, and ability to continue to accrete gas, the fundamental ingredient in star-formation. In order to investigate the role of LSS in galaxy evolution, we use data from the COSMOS HI Large Extragalactic Survey (CHILES), a single pointing of the Very Large Array in the COSMOS field with the ability to detect HI in galaxies out to a redshift 0.45. We introduce a fast imaging pipeline that is able to produce science-ready image cubes of the CHILES data in a reasonable turnover time. This pipeline is applied to the full CHILES database and produces data of excellent sensitivity with minimal imaging artefacts. Additionally, we introduce the CHILES Continuum Polarization Survey (CHILES Con Pol), which is the most sensitive 1.4 GHz radio continuum survey, to date, at 4.5 resolution. We discuss the survey design, data processing, and comparison to other surveys taken in the COSMOS field and discuss their complementary aspects. Using these high quality sensitive radio data, and ancillary data from the COSMOS survey, we investigate neutral hydrogen content and relative star-formation rate for blue, lower mass spiral galaxies as a function of their placement in their LSS, for two redshift bins. We find that the neutral hydrogen content for galaxies not near the spine of filaments, more than 2 Mpc away, is lower in our low-z bin. We place this result in the context of recent theoretical work and speculate that we are observing recent cosmic web detachment events for galaxies of these types, that result in the cutting-off of galaxies from their primordial gas supply

Relations Between Parent Coping with the Stress of Parenting and Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression

It is important to refine understanding of the impact of adolescent behaviors on parents. In particular there is a need to improve understanding of the potential increase in parental distress caused by challenging youth behaviors. Parenting stress may play a critical role in these processes. Various coping strategies have been associated with different psychosocial outcomes, including anxiety and depression. In contrast, less effective coping strategies are linked to a higher likelihood of meeting criteria for mood or anxiety disorders. Gender differences in stress coping between women and men may contribute to women reporting higher levels of psychological distress, depression, and anxiety. However, there is a lack of research on gender differences in stress responses and coping behaviors among parents in response to the stress of parenting adolescents. This study investigated parental coping strategies for parenting stress and their relationship to affective symptoms, including gender differences. The results indicated that mothers reported experiencing lower levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms compared to fathers. Primary and secondary control coping strategies were negatively correlated with symptoms, indicating that these strategies were associated with lower levels of anxiety and depression. Conversely, disengagement coping strategies were positively correlated with symptoms, suggesting that they were associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression. Secondary control coping was negatively associated with parental reactions to stressful interactions. Parental anxiety was linked to increased anger and anxiety responses, while depression showed no significant association. Fathers reported higher disengagement coping than mothers, with no other significant gender differences in coping strategies. These findings highlight the importance of promoting primary and secondary control coping strategies to reduce parental anxiety and depression and improve parent-adolescent interactions
