High temperature expansion applied to fermions near Feshbach resonance
We show that, apart from a difference in scale, all of the surprising
recently observed properties of a degenerate Fermi gas near a Feshbach
resonance persist in the high temperature Boltzmann regime. In this regime, the
Feshbach resonance is unshifted. By sweeping across the resonance, a thermal
distribution of bound states (molecules) can be reversibly generated.
Throughout this process, the interaction energy is negative and continuous. We
also show that this behavior must persist at lower temperatures unless there is
a phase transition as the temperature is lowered. We rigorously demonstrate
universal behavior near the resonance.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures (3 color, 1 BW), RevTeX4; ver4 -- updated

The impact of COVID-19 movement restrictions on physical activity in a low-income semi-rural population in Malaysia: a longitudinal study:a longitudinal study
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic prompted movement restrictions in countries worldwide, impacting on physical activity (PA), a major non-communicable disease risk factor, and thus may have unintentional long-term health implications. In semi-rural areas of low-middle-income-countries (LMICs), where occupational activity is the main source of PA, changes in PA associated with COVID-19 restrictions are unknown. We investigated the impact of Movement Control Order (MCO) restrictions in a semi-rural region of Malaysia. METHODS: The South East Asia Community Observatory (SEACO) is a dynamic prospective community cohort. We contacted a random sample of 1007 adults (18+) who had previously provided PA data in 2018. We asked about PA during the MCO (March-May 2020) and at the time of interview (June 2020). RESULTS: During the MCO, PA reduced by a mean of 6.7 hours/week (95% confidence interval (CI) = 5.3, 8.0) compared to 2018, with the largest reductions among those in employment. By June, PA was 3.4 hours/week (95% CI = 2.0, 4.8) less than 2018, leaving 34% of adults currently inactive (20% in 2018). Reductions in occupational PA were not replaced with active travel or activity at home. Despite these observed reductions, most participants did not think the MCO had affected their PA. CONCLUSIONS: Movement restrictions are associated with lower PA lasting beyond the period of strict restrictions; such longer-term reductions in PA may have a detrimental impact on health. Future MCOs should encourage people to be active, but may additionally need targeted messaging for those who don’t necessarily realise they are at risk. In particular, policies developed in more affluent countries may not easily translate to LMICs
Jumble Java Byte Code to Measure the Effectiveness of Unit Tests
Jumble is a byte code level mutation testing tool for Java which inter-operates with JUnit. It has been designed to operate in an industrial setting with large projects. Heuristics have been included to speed the checking of mutations, for example, noting which test fails for each mutation and running this first in subsequent mutation checks. Significant effort has been put into ensuring that it can test code which uses custom class loading and reflection. This requires careful attention to class path handling and coexistence with foreign class-loaders. Jumble is currently used on a continuous basis within an agile programming environment with approximately 370,000 lines of Java code under source control. This checks out project code every fifteen minutes and runs an incremental set of unit tests and mutation tests for modified classes. Jumble is being made available as open source
Peranan Controller dalam USAha Meminimalisasi Risiko Kehilangan Persediaan Barang Dagangan (Studi Kasus pada Toserba Yogya)
Pertumbuhan Perusahaan saat ini berjalan sangat cepat, dan banyaknya persaingan menimbulkan tantangan bagi manajemen. Hal ini membuat manajemen harus tetap dapat mempertahankan kelangsungan Perusahaannya. Maka tak jarang Perusahaan meninjau ulang kebijakan penetapan persaingan dengan menggunakan berbagai macam cara, biasanya dilakukan dengan menekan harga jual. Untuk Perusahaan yang bergerak pada bidang retail, persaingan harga sangatlah penting, dimana para pembeli lebih mengutamakan harga yang lebih murah dengan kualitas barang yang baik. Tidak dipungkiri Toserba Yogya bergerak dalam bisnis retail, agar dapat bersaing dengan pengusaha retail lainnya, maka Toserba Yogya pun banyak melakukan terobosan guna menarik para pembeli, diantaranya dengan menjual barang-barang dengan harga yang murah. Agar dapat menjual produknya dengan harga yang murah, maka penjual pun harus dapat menekan biaya yang yang dikeluarkan, sehingga Perusahaan tidak mengalami kerugian salah satu komponen biaya yang menjadi perhatian manajemen adalah biaya yang muncul akibat terjadinya kehilangan barang dagangan. Hal ini dapat dicegah dengan cara mengefektifkan pengendalian intern pada Toserba Yogya sehingga kehilangan barang dapat ditekan, yang menghasilkan laba yang maksimal pada Perusahaan. Untuk menilai sejauh mana peranan controller dalam USAha meminimalisasi risiko kehilangan persediaan barang dagangan, maka penulis melakukan penelitian pada Toserba Yogya Sunda, yang beralamatkan di Jalan Sunda No.56-62, dan Plaza Yogya Cimahi, yang beralamatkan di Jalan Jendral H. Amir Machmud No 128. Perusahaan ini merupakan Perusahaan yang bergerak pada bisnis retail. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode analisis depkritif, dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui peranan controller dalam USAha meminimalisasi risiko kehilangan persediaan barang dagangan dalam pengumpulan data, penulis menyebarkan kuesioner kepada 10 orang karyawan Toserba Yogya. Hasil dari jawaban responden kemudian penulis menyimpulkan bahwa controller berperan dalam USAha meminimalisasi risiko kehilangan persediaan barang dagangan. Hal ini terlihat dari hasil pengujian melalui instrumen kuesioner, diperoleh hasil perhitungan yang didapat dari hasil perbandingan nilai t hitung dengan nilai t tabel pada taraf sigifikan α = 0,05 dan dk = n-2 adalah sebesar 2,306. Ini berarti bahwa nilai t hitung (6,63) > t tabel (2,306) sehingga hipotesis nol ditolak dan hipotesis alternatif diterima.  
Phase Separation in Mixtures of Repulsive Fermi Gases Driven by Mass Difference
We show that phase separation must occur in a mixture of fermions with
repulsive interaction if their mass difference is sufficiently large. This
phenomenon is highly dimension-dependent. Consequently, the density profiles of
phase separated 3d mixtures are very different from those in 1d. Noting that
the ferromagnetic transition of a spin-1/2 repulsive Fermi gas is the equal
mass limit of the phase separation in mixtures, we show from the Bethe Ansatz
solution that a ferromagnetic transition will take place in the scattering
states when the repulsive interaction passes through resonance and becomes
attractive.Comment: 4.5 pages, 2 figures, version accepted by Phys. Rev. Let
Running anti-de Sitter radius from QCD-like strings
We consider renormalization effects for a bosonic QCD-like string, whose
partons have propagators instead of Gaussian. Classically this model
resembles (the bosonic part of) the projective light-cone (zero-radius) limit
of a string on an AdS background, where Schwinger parameters give rise to
the fifth dimension. Quantum effects generate dynamics for this dimension,
producing an AdS background with a running radius. The projective
light-cone is the high-energy limit: Holography is enforced dynamically.Comment: 12 page
Potential Fire Hazard, Vulnerability and Family Wellbeing of Jatinegara Public House\u27s Residents
Public houses usually are a high density residential which leads to fire hazard, poor emergency services, as well as the highly increased of family vulnerability. This study aims to analyze the potential fire hazard, vulnerability, and subjective wellbeing of families living in the Jatinegara public house. The design of this study was cross sectional involving 157 families whom selected by stratified random sampling. The study found that age of wife and attitude towards the hazard of fire had a positive relationship to subjective wellbeing of the family. Social dimension and economic dimensions of vulnerability had a negative relationship with subjective wellbeing. Results of regression analysis found that age of wife and familiy\u27s attitudes toward the fire hazard had a positive effect on subjective wellbeing of the family, while the age of husband, income per capita, social vulnerability, and vulnerability of economic had a negative effect on subjective wellbeing of the family
