Despite migration being a universal and secular phenomenon, recent studies and latest statistics show that unemployment among third-country nationals aged between 15 and 64 years old is generally higher than the rate among the overall population (76% among newcomers). Within this context, the current study aims to find out common patterns concerning the barriers that Third Country National (TCN) Women face in the host labour market and facilitating factors they used to cross them. The  current research is supported by a qualitative methodology, based on 74 interviews to women from nine European countries and the analysis of 11 success stories. The interviewees have a very heterogeneous sociodemographic profile, concerning age, country of origin, host country and educational background. Despite some TCN women being employed, most are currently unemployed or in precarious condition. Our study proposes a four-fold categorisation of barriers faced by TCN women: i) cultural and linguistic; ii) diplomas; iii) support system; iv) discrimination. The lack of language skills was mentioned by almost all the women interviewed because free or easily affordable courses are limited.The second category of barriers entails the complexity of recognising academic qualifications and working experience from their home countries. The lack of a supporting system has impact in different dimensions of social and professional inclusion. The last category represents a large number of dimensions, related to an intersectional discrimination based on gender, race and religion. Regarding the facilitating factors that 11 women with integration success stories shared, we would highlight: i) the role and importance of Social and Solidarity migrant organisations as a support for TCN women; ii) the recognition the added-value of TCN women skills, such as being proficient in several foreign languages; iii) the empowerment of success stories reported by the storyteller herself and by other women in a similar situation; iv) the resilience to not give up, despite a considerable  amount of obstacles.
Perspectives on gender mainstreaming in international cooperation in STI: A comparative study
Authors: Gursch Sarina , Ayciriex Luciana , Ursa Yolanda , Kutschera Stefan , Slany Wolfgang , Onuki Janina , Ferreira Gabriela
Published: April 2023

Gender equality is the fifth Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) goal. However, there are still global gaps to be addressed for leveraging science, technology, and innovation (STI) for achieving this goal. Countries and governments at all levels need to effectively utilize STI to help mobilize the global community to assist in gender mainstreaming. 

International cooperation encompasses a great diversity of countries, regions, dominant religions, and cultures in broad terms – and this is undoubtedly a relevant hinderance to a gender equality narrative. Even within most homogeneous areas, such as the European countries, different levels of awareness on gender issues still prevail, impacting the practical relevance of the problem. Many gender-related projects, actions, and policies aim to counteract this. However, there is no clear guidance on what is expected from the institutions about addressing gender equality to mainstream gender into international dialogues. Therefore, gender equality runs the risk of remaining a “good intention”. In addition, there is little explicit data on the gender dimension in international agreements.

The design for this study includes qualitative and quantitative data collected in the EU Horizon 2020 Gender STI. The framework is developed based on three main data sources collected from semi-structured interviews, an online survey, and a mapping exercise on gender equality in STI agreements in different regions worldwide. These sources, collected from more than 60 countries worldwide, allow data triangulation to validate the qualitative insights related to gender mainstreaming in STI. 

This paper offers critical insights on gender mainstreaming in international dialogues, which are becoming an essential instrument of change if cultural differences are considered. The institutional profile and professional culture are relevant to define each gender balance action's range and foster data production on the subject. Moreover, recent requirements in European funding instruments, such as Horizon Europe, have a broad impact on the international cooperation landscape, inducing a general institutional change and a reverse cultural bias.
Gender Narratives in Academia: how gender is constructed through gender policies in Italian universities
Authors: Arena Giulia
Published: April 2023

This proposal aims to explore gender equality measures in the academic context, which is undergoing changes such as the recent introduction of the Gender Equality Plan requirement and the broadening of equality, diversity and inclusion topics, both in research and in the actions practically proposed. Assuming that gender is continuously made and 'unmade' through gender policies (Acker, 1990), the key question is what kind of gender narrative is proposed by these measures, often attributed to the framework of gender mainstreaming (O'Hagan and Klatzer, 2018). This paper aims to discuss and problematise this assumption from a theoretical and critical perspective, with the use of the methodology known as Critical Frame Analysis that originates in the field of public policy (Bacchi and Eveline, 2010). The use of Critical Frame Analysis applied to the main policy documents on gender measures and objectives at the Italian national level leads to a theoretical proposal on the reclassification of academic gender frameworks.
Place-Based Solutions for Net Zero: Gender Considerations on ‘Green’ Skills
Authors: Mininni Giulia M. , Hiteva Ralitsa
Published: April 2023

There is a global effort towards transitioning to a zero or low-carbon economy due to climate change and the current energy crises. This requires a shift in socio-technical systems and cross collaboration amidst sectors. The move to a clean energy-based economy also involves the creation of a broad range of skills, the upskilling and reskilling of the existing workforce, and providing opportunities for training. While many critical analyses of emerging decarbonisation or green skills, focus on issues of clean energy transition and the distribution of opportunities between fossil fuel-based and clean energy industries, there is limited critical analysis of justice and equality regarding the distribution of opportunities for developing key green skills for place-based decarbonisation.

There is evidence of asymmetric power relations and gender inequalities regarding the acquisition of skills, employment opportunities, kinds of jobs and pay gap which disproportionately affect women. This paper presents compelling evidence of hegemonic masculinisation within the energy industry; this tendency is now mirrored in ecological industries and technologies, including within the renewable energy sector, leading to an ‘eco-masculinisation’ of the sector.

Just transition principles promote a fair distribution of resources and the representation of vulnerable groups, including women and minorities. By relying on local assets and resources, including human resources, place-based approaches to green skills could address local communities’ needs while strengthening their resilience. These processes are pivotal to a fair and equitable transition. By explicitly articulating the context of place in understanding the gender(ed) dynamics of decarbonisation and skills, the authors identify and reflect on an innovative way of understanding the intersections between infrastructures, skills, and masculinisation in the transition to low zero carbon.
‘Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus’? Doctoral Students’ Perspectives on Doctoral Education
Authors: Cardoso Sónia , Carvalho Teresa
Published: April 2023

Gender influences the lives of doctoral students, shaping both their doctoral experience and their views on doctoral education. Following this argument, the purpose of this paper is to investigate gender differences in students’ perspectives of what doctoral education entails. The emphasis is on how and to what extent male and female students’ perspectives differ in reflecting changes in doctoral education’s concept, which appears to be shifting from traditional to instrumental. A study was conducted to determine how Portuguese doctoral students perceive doctoral education in terms of its structuring dimensions. The study’s findings, gathered through 11 focus groups interviews with 31 doctoral students from three Portuguese public universities, five scientific fields and evenly distributed by gender, suggested that a hybrid concept of doctoral education is valued, combining elements of its traditional concept and an instrumental concept. This hybridity, and even a propensity toward a more instrumental perspective, appeared to be particularly prevalent among female doctoral students. The paper advances some explanatory hypotheses for these trends while highlighting clues for future research.
FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) Health Support for Non-Pregnant Women: Evaluation Findings From the NHS Pilot Programme
Authors: Warwick-Booth Louise , Starks Louise
Published: April 2023

There has been little progress in meeting the needs of non-pregnant women with FGM, who might seek medical help in the UK. The NHS funded eight FGM clinics for non-pregnant women across England, 2019-2021. The aim of our evaluation was to test how effective/capable these clinics were in meeting the health and wellbeing needs of women who are not pregnant but have experienced FGM. Our evaluation documented each of the various models of service delivery across the eight commissioned delivery sites, capturing evidence of what works to improve the health and wellbeing of women using these services. Within this we explored the importance of delivering clinics within community settings.  We also examined the effectiveness of various staff roles (lead clinician, health advocate and therapist) across each clinic to understand the holistic approach used to deliver services. We captured the views of a small number of service users through individual interviews, to include their lived experiences of FGM and attending the clinic in our data. The main aim of the evaluation was to determine whether the clinics improved the health outcomes of non-pregnant survivors of FGM.

 

This paper presents findings from the qualitative research component of the evaluation.  Drawing upon interview data from 42 professionals as well as 12 service users, we summarise our key findings here. We detail the model of support (community service delivery, with trusted professionals, creating a safe space) and the learning gained from the pilot implementation. Positive outcomes include improved health and well-being for women (mental and physical health improvements). Challenges in service delivery included language barriers, how professionals reach into communities, the stigma associated with FGM as an experience, and mental health problems arising from FGM.

The purpose of this study is to obtain policy direction recommendations for seed source, seed and seedling certification in West Java using ACF (Advocacy Coalition Framework) approach and multiple linear regression. A key alignment of the two goals for the government is compliance with statutory or government-sponsored regulations, with the result that the stability of seed production is disrupted by suppliers. Analysis using the ACF framework has produced policy guidelines for mandatory certification of seed quality related to seed source, seed quality, and compliance with regulations issued by central governments. The objectives of the activity to certify seed sources, seed quality and seed quality in accordance with the P.3 policy were not optimally achieved. This is reflected in the prominence of those who are less active in certifying the forest products they produce.Merchant certification activity has a significant value of 0.023. Vendor certification activities are reduced due to the P.3 policy requiring local governments to have their own forest plant nurseries. Procurement and distribution agencies generally produce on a large scale when they receive

Published: April 2023

Anticipating the increasing usage of mobile phones and the internet, nomophobia emerges as a modern psychological condition for those who manifest fear in the absence of phones and the internet. The global prevalence and correlational studies have unveiled the severity of the nomophobic condition and call for the need for future research. The objectives of this study are to explore the awareness of nomophobia and the intention to change nomophobia among university students. This study will also help to establish the reception of nomophobia-based intervention among university students and the role of religion to alleviate the symptoms of nomophobia. Using purposive sampling, 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted through an online medium. Four themes were identified: 1) awareness of nomophobia, 2) thoughts on nomophobia intervention, 3) religion and nomophobia, and 4) the intention to change nomophobia. The findings indicate that there is a need to raise awareness of nomophobia, while the intention to change phone usage is guided by aspects that are outlined in the health belief model and the theory of planned behaviour. University students were found to generally perceive nomophobia intervention and religious practices positively in helping to overcome nomophobia.
PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AND POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS: RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Ch’ng Brendan , Md Nor Mariani , Loh Sau Cheong
Published: April 2023

In recent years, Malaysia has seen a significant increase in enrolment in postgraduate programs as part of the government's efforts to advance into a developed nation status by developing a skilled talent pool of scientists and researchers. However, despite the increasing trend of mental health issues among youths in Malaysia, the psychological well-being of postgraduate students has received limited attention in research and literature. This review paper provides a contemporary overview of the state of mental health in Malaysia to contextualise the psychological challenges faced by students in Malaysian universities. The article also highlights the lack of research on the psychological well-being of postgraduate students in Malaysia, which has led to a limited understanding of how this population is affected by their well-being. The article also discusses evidence from previous studies to illustrate how different aspects of psychological well-being are essential for not only academic success but also physical and mental health for postgraduate students. The article argues that more research involving a wider range of methods is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the psychological well-being of the wider postgraduate student population in Malaysia. Additionally, the paper discusses several implications for various stakeholders in higher education institutions to take appropriate action in promoting a greater sense of psychological well-being among postgraduate students on campus.

Published: April 2023

Rahmah is an approach that refers to the meaning of love and courtesy that is delivered in life. In the context of good leadership, the implementation of rahmah is a vital element to achieve the results in implementing something. Tun Sakaran Dandai, is an influential political figure in Sabah, originated from the Semporna district, who has succeeded in promoting Islamic teachings comprehensively in the community through leadership. The involvement of Tun Sakaran in political leadership at the highest level clearly had an impact from the point of view of teachings of Islam nature so that he is known as a humble, humble figure and the only political leader in Sabah who has shaped his politics along with the strengthess of religion. In this writing, the researcher has used qualitative methods which are interviews with politicians, close local residents and analyzing documents through written resources such as books, journals and written reports. Through this writing it can be seen how Tun Sakaran Dandai applied the rahmah approach in politics. The main scope of this writing is continued by reviewing the explanation of the approach and criteria that have been applied by Tun Sakaran Dandai in manifesting of rahmah as a platform in the political struggle besides raising the lesson of religion. Thus, the results of this finding clearly proves that he is an example of a political leader who has successfully shaped his political authority coated with a compassionate approach and needs to be emulated by current community leaders.

On Shimoda's Theorem
Authors: Atamuratov A.A. , Rasulov K.K.
Published: April 2023

The present work is devoted to Shimoda's Theorem on the holomorphicity of a function $f(z,w)$ which is holomorphic by $w\in V$ for each fixed $z\in U$ and is holomorphic by $z\in U$ for each fixed $w\in E$, where $E\subset V$ is a countable set with at least one limit point in $V$. Shimoda proves that in this case $f(z,w)$ is holomorphic in $U\times V$ except for a nowhere dense closed subset of $U\times V$. We prove the converse of this result, that is for an arbitrary given nowhere dense closed subset of $U$, $S\subset U$, there exists a holomorphic function, satisfying Shimoda's Theorem on $U\times V\subset {\mathbb C}^{2}$, that is not holomorphic on $S\times V$. Moreover, we observe conditions which imply empty exception sets on Shimoda's Theorem and prove generalizations of Shimoda's Theorem.

Published: April 2023

Fault responses of inverter-based resources (IBR) are primarily dictated by the control algorithms and are fundamentally different from conventional synchronous generators. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation, commonly viewed as a robust tool for protection setting prototyping and testing, is used in this paper to investigate the impact of a wind farm, with type-4 full converter wind turbines, on the protection of a 345 kV transmission line in Texas, United States. This paper discusses two critical topics in detail: (1) wind farm IBR model development and validation against vendor PSCAD model, and (2) IBR impacts on distance and current differential protection.
Destabilizing Attack and Robust Defense for Inverter-Based Microgrids by Adversarial Deep Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Wang Yu , Pal Bikash
Published: April 2023

The droop controllers of inverter-based resources (IBRs) can be adjustable by grid operators to facilitate regulation services. Considering the increasing integration of IBRs at power distribution level systems like microgrids, cyber security is becoming a major concern. This paper investigates the data-driven destabilizing attack and robust defense strategy based on adversarial deep reinforcement learning for inverter-based microgrids. Firstly, the full-order high-fidelity model and reduced-order small-signal model of typical inverter-based microgrids are recapitulated. Then the destabilizing attack on the droop control gains is analyzed, which reveals its impact on system small-signal stability. Finally, the attack and defense problems are formulated as Markov decision process (MDP) and adversarial MDP (AMDP). The problems are solved by twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm to find the least effort attack path of the system and obtain the corresponding robust defense strategy. The simulation studies are conducted in an inverter-based microgrid system with 4 IBRs and IEEE 123-bus system with 10 IBRs to evaluate the proposed method.

 
Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Assisted by Scalarization Function Approximation for High-Dimensional Expensive Problems
Authors: Horaguchi Yuma , Nishihara Kei , Nakata Masaya
Published: April 2023

Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms (SAEAs) are a promising approach for solving expensive multiobjective optimization problems, but they often cannot address high-dimensional problems. Although one common approach to this challenge is to construct reliable surrogates, their accuracy inevitably deteriorates in a high-dimensional search space. Thus, this paper presents a novel SAEA based on scalarization function approximation, which is designed to strengthen its robustness against this deterioration. The proposed algorithm constructs an approximation model for each scalarization function defined in a decomposition-based framework. Each decomposed problem is then solved using multiple independent models trained for its neighbor problems. The intent is to decrease the risk of search performance degradations caused by unreliable approximations and retain the redundancy of the surrogate-assisted search to hedge the risk of over-fitting. Furthermore, each approximation model is adapted to a promising region of its corresponding decomposed problem to reduce the complexity of model fitting given a limited number of training samples. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is competitive with state-of-the-art SAEAs adapted for high-dimensional problems.

In one condition subjects are given assistive support at the pelvis by RobUST to help resist perturbations and in the other, there is no assistive support. Data collected include electromyographic data from lower limb muscles, movement and variability of movement data. 
CeFi, Fintech and DeFi – Understanding the Benefits, Limitations and Challenges
Authors: Nath Keshab
Published: April 2023

The proliferation of novel technologies such as Web3.0, Blockchain, Smart Contracts, and Cryptocurrency has resulted in a burgeoning interest in the concept of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). DeFi represents a transformation in financial instruments that diverges dramatically from traditional financial systems that rely on centralized platforms governed by government entities and various intermediaries. Instead, DeFi is predicated on a protocol that operates on a decentralized infrastructure facilitated by Blockchain, particularly Ethereum. This decentralization permits software developers to create bespoke, high-performance, and secure financial platforms that are universally available to anyone with an internet connection and a computing device. DeFi's intrinsic value is predicated on its ability to empower millions of individuals worldwide who lack access to conventional financial systems (over 1.7 billion people globally are unbanked for various reasons) to control their finances and engage in transactions with anyone. This decentralized framework ensures equal access and unprecedented economic growth while simultaneously addressing concerns such as centralized control, restricted access, inefficiencies, lack of interoperability, and obscurity.

Bi-junction electro-optic phase shifter
Authors: Ashour Mohamed , Weig Eva M. , Caspers Jan Niklas
Published: April 2023

In this work, we propose and implement a bijunction depletion-type silicon electro-optic phase shifter. The phase shifter has a lateral profile of implants, that closely resembles that of a common bipolar junction transistor, and thus, has two polarities. These are acceptor-donor-acceptor (PNP) as well as donor-acceptor-donor (NPN). We realize both variants in IMEC ISIPP50G open-access silicon photonic technology and compare them to lateral and interleaved phase shifters. Both PNP and NPN phase shifters exhibit a VπLπ figure that is at least 14.47% and up to 45.1% lower than that of the lateral and interleaved phase shifters realized in the same technology. Bi-junction phase shifters can be implemented in any planar silicon photonic technology that offers bipolar implantations within silicon photonic waveguides.
Protection and Control Challenges of Low-Voltage Networks with High Distributed Energy Resources Penetration - Part 1: Utility Workshop and Low-Voltage Network Modeling
Authors: Cheng Zheyuan , Udren Eric , Holbach Juergen , Reno Matthew J. , Ropp Michael E.
Published: April 2023

The growing distributed energy resources (DER) penetration in the low-voltage network (600V and below) challenges the existing protection philosophy and practice. To assess the impact of high DER penetration, the authors built a representative low-voltage network model in real-time electromagnetic transient software and performed hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) protection studies. In the first stage of the effort, the authors invited four major U.S. utilities with low-voltage networks to a technical workshop to survey the modeling and study needs. Guided by the workshop discussions, the authors developed various real-time simulation models, including a low-voltage network model, a model of a commonly used network protector relay, and DER models. Finally, the authors conducted hardware-in-the-loop protection studies to investigate and mitigate the high DER penetration impacts. Part 1 of the paper summarizes the technical workshop outcomes and low-voltage network modeling approaches. Part 2 of the paper reports the HIL simulation setup, high DER penetration impact assessment, and benchmark results of a promising mitigation solution.

The most conventional approaches to find axion-like particles (ALP) or notably axions typically lies on their coupling with photons. However, if the coupling is extremely weak then there is a chance that they decouple themselves from the standard model physics and becomes invisible which are a source of stochastic gravitational waves at the epoch of the early universe formation, solving the riddle of the axion origin mystery and the origin of weak gravitational waves. Having the axion decay constant rates as 𝑓≥1016−1+1GeV, the axion signals which can be detected by either ground/space based observatories or pulsar timing arrays shows a broad space parameter of axion mass thus helping to probe the exis-tents of invisible axions originating in the early universe. The ALP or axions generally couple to a dark gauge bosons which at the onset of oscillations produces tachyonic instabilities that increases the visible parameter for the ALP or axion dark matters. The quantum fluctuations that arises and getting amplified by the strong coupling of axion/ALP to dark boson modes sources chiral gravitational waves (GWs). The accurate spectrum of these GWs have been calculated from the U(1) gauge fields pro-duced by axion dark matters. The explosive outbursts of gauge fields indicates the advantage of non-linear data analysis over linear modes to calculate the exact GWs spectrums. The ground/space based interferometers and pulsar timing arrays have the ability to probe the bottom up approach of the axions, in the weakly coupled regime which otherwise remains unconstrained. Further, it has been discussed the kinetic mixing mechanism and the dark gauge photon mass over the insensitivity of the couplings to standard model fields. The ALP scenarios or realistic axions may provide us useful infor-mations about the signal templates of the early universe, as well as useful datas for GW experiments. Throughout the paper we will assume the axion field being homogeneous the equations of motions for the gauge boson modes depend on the parametric valued scales 𝑘 =𝑘.
New distance for any finite sets, half the Hamming distance
Authors: Abdurakhmanov Jamolidin
Published: April 2023

 In this paper, we introduce a new, previously unknown, distance (i.e., a new metric) in a set whose elements are some other (any) finite sets. It is proved that with such a metric the set under consideration is a metric space. A direct relationship is established between this distance and the Hamming distance: it is exactly two times smaller than the Hamming distance and it is much easier to calculate it. As an application, the set of natural numbers is considered as a discrete metric space with a new metric introduced, and a new metric criterion for the primality of a natural number is established. This is the first metric criterion in the history of mathematics for a natural number to be prime.

Published: April 2023

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is utilized as a treatment method for a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The standard dose parameter for administration of TMS is known as the resting motor threshold (RMT). Between individuals, the RMT has traditionally been thought to reflect differences in neuroanatomy; however, the functional state of the brain has also been shown to have an influence on this value. In this study, 19 mild traumatic brain injury participants (mTBI) resting state electroencephalography (EEG) was obtained before undergoing TMS treatment. Various time frequency and power spectra values were derived from this EEG data to examine the relationship between RMT and neurophysiology. These EEG connectivity metrics were then used to establish relationships with RMT alone and accounting for differences in individual neuroanatomy. We found that the incorporation of EEG functional connectivity improved multiple regression model predictions of inter-participant RMT variability than neuroanatomy alone. Future investigations into the evaluation of EEG in predicting RMT variability should include a larger participant population with a healthy control.

A semi-analytical technique to simulate spatially dispersive (SD) cylindrical metasurfaces is proposed and demon- strated. This method is based on the well-known Eigenfunction Expansion (EFE) method and extends the work of [1], [2] by integrating the Extended GSTCs into this pre-existing method specific to cylindrical surfaces. This method is then applied to several cylindrical metasurfaces composed of spatially dispersive wire dipole unit cells, and successfully verified against commercial full-wave simulations. Finally, using a case of a closed metasur- face shell, the usefulness of the proposed EFE-SD method is shown to illustrate the effect of metasurface thickness on the scattered fields inside and outside the shell. 
Optimizing microwave photonic signal processors based on microcombs
Authors: Moss David
Published: April 2023

Microwave photonic (MWP) transversal signal processors offer a compelling solution for realizing versatile high-speed information processing by combining the advantages of reconfigurable electrical digital signal processing and high-bandwidth photonic processing. With the capability of generating a number of discrete wavelengths from micro-scale resonators, optical microcombs are powerful multi-wavelength sources for implementing MWP transversal signal processors with significantly reduced size, power consumption, and complexity. By using microcomb-based MWP transversal signal processors, a diverse range of signal processing functions have been demonstrated recently. In this paper we provide a detailed analysis for the errors induced by experimental imperfections processors. First, we investigate the errors arising from different sources including imperfections in the microcombs, the chirp of electro-optic modulators, chromatic dispersion of the dispersive module, shaping errors of the optical spectral shapers, and noise of the photodetector. Next, we provide a global picture quantifying the impact of error sources on the overall system performance. Finally, we introduce feedback control to compensate the errors caused by experimental imperfections, achieving significantly improved accuracy. These results provide a guide for optimizing the accuracy of microcomb-based MWP transversal signal processors.

Published: April 2023

Coatings were obtained by electrospark deposition using anode materials based on the Ni-Al system. According to the research results it is most expedient to use two alloys based on Ni3Al and NiAl with an additional content of the Ni5Al3 phase for the coatings formation. The microstructure of the resulting coatings consists of columnar crystallites, in which the concentration of the anode components (Ni, Al) increases, and the content of the cathode component (Fe) decreases along the height of the coating from the surface to the base. It has been established that the content of Fe in crystallites in different areas of the coating changes most significantly.
