The Non-modern Crisis of the Modern University
Authors: Thayer Willy , Collingwood-Selby Elizabeth , McGlazer Ramsey 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This article offers a synthesis of the book La crisis no moderna de la universidad moderna and reconsiders many of its main claims, without, however, rehearsing the conceptual history that the book develops. These claims bear on several non-modern crises, crises affecting (1) the modern conflict between knowledge and thought; (2) the modern dispute between the superior, technical faculties and the inferior, critical faculty; (3) the university understood as the original source of ends-driven research, on the one hand, and open-ended, unconditional research, on the other; (4) the modern categories used to understand the university; (5) the university community defined as an organic unity of knowledges; and (6) the autonomy, the untimeliness, the philosophy of history, the enthusiastic mission, and the epic narrative of the modern university. In the Chilean context, these crises coincided with the military dictatorship (1973–90), which carried out a juridical and constitutional transition that was also a transformation of the university. No longer defined as a state-administered institution guided by the developmentalist goal of ensuring the nation's progress, the university became a corporate institution that instead seeks to protect the revenues of multinational corporations. Indeed, the university belongs to these corporations. Effected by the dictatorship, this transition was legally reinforced, naturalized, and supported by post-dictatorship forms of democratic governmentality.
El nuevo giro neoliberal en Argentina
Authors: Catanzaro Gisela , Stegmayer María 
Published: July 2019

AbstractEste artículo interroga las reconfiguraciones del neoliberalismo a partir del análisis de nuevas formas de interpelación ideológica en Argentina. Focalizando en la discursividad pública hoy dominante, el trabajo hipotetiza la existencia de un vínculo indisociable—y un funcionamiento simultáneo—entre los componentes “punitivistas” de dicha interpelación y aquellos otros que, solo en apariencia contrapuestos a los primeros, exaltan el componente emprendedorista de la potencia del individuo y su llamado “amigable” a una vida en común plena y reconciliada. Teniendo en cuenta el carácter bifronte, omnipotente, moralizante y sacrificial de esta nueva “comunidad de emprendedores/castigadores,” el recorrido propuesto se centra en los modos singulares en que se declina dicho entrelazamiento en la actual coyuntura, establece diferencias respecto de otras inflexiones y figuras ideológicas de “lo neoliberal” en la Argentina reciente, y busca comprender las consecuencias ético-políticas que este tipo específico de interpelación comporta al nivel de la subjetividad.
Learning in Repeated Auctions with Budgets: Regret Minimization and Equilibrium
Authors: Balseiro Santiago R. , Gur Yonatan 
Published: July 2019

In online advertising markets, advertisers often purchase ad placements through bidding in repeated auctions based on realized viewer information. We study how budget-constrained advertisers may compete in such sequential auctions in the presence of uncertainty about future bidding opportunities and competition. We formulate this problem as a sequential game of incomplete information, in which bidders know neither their own valuation distribution nor the budgets and valuation distributions of their competitors. We introduce a family of practical bidding strategies we refer to as adaptive pacing strategies, in which advertisers adjust their bids according to the sample path of expenditures they exhibit, and analyze the performance of these strategies in different competitive settings. We establish the asymptotic optimality of these strategies when competitors’ bids are independent and identically distributed over auctions, but also when competing bids are arbitrary. When all the bidders adopt these strategies, we establish the convergence of the induced dynamics and characterize a regime (well motivated in the context of online advertising markets) under which these strategies constitute an approximate Nash equilibrium in dynamic strategies: the benefit from unilaterally deviating to other strategies, including ones with access to complete information, becomes negligible as the number of auctions and competitors grows large. This establishes a connection between regret minimization and market stability, by which advertisers can essentially follow approximate equilibrium bidding strategies that also ensure the best performance that can be guaranteed off equilibrium.

Testing the Theory of Consumer Discrimination as an Explanation for the Lack of Minority Hiring in Hollywood Films
Authors: Kuppuswamy Venkat , Younkin Peter 
Published: July 2019

The underrepresentation of minorities in cultural industries is a widely publicized problem with far-reaching economic and social significance. It is also one of many industries in which employers suggest that the locus of bias is not within the organization but with the consumer. The empirical challenge of relating consumer behavior to employee composition has constrained prior efforts to test their claim and to test the theory of consumer discrimination more broadly. As a result, employers have gradually expanded the scope of the customer discrimination theory from one rooted in direct interaction to include an aversion to simply seeing employees of a different ethnicity. We explore how consumers respond to employee composition by evaluating the performance of films released in the United States as a function of the racial diversity of their cast. We find that films with a single black actor do not differ from those with zero black actors, and that films with multiple black actors in the principal cast actually achieve significantly higher domestic box-office revenues than either. To distinguish between competing explanations for this result, we conduct a vignette-based experiment that allows us to identify a positive influence of diversity on consumers’ assessments of quality, controlling for differences in film or actor appeal. Collectively, these results help discredit one rationale for unequal hiring in cultural industries and also suggest an important qualification to the theory of consumer discrimination: in settings where employee race is visible but the consumer is physically distant, diversity is more profitable than costly.

Diagnostic utility of fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in prosthetic joint infection based on MSIS criteria
Authors: Kiran M. , Donnelly T D. , Armstrong C. , Kapoor B. , Kumar G. , Peter V. 
Published: July 2019

Aims Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and aseptic loosening in total hip arthroplasty (THA) can present with pain and osteolysis. The Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) has provided criteria for the diagnosis of PJI. The aim of our study was to analyze the utility of F18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) CT scan in the preoperative diagnosis of septic loosening in THA, based on the current MSIS definition of prosthetic joint infection. Patients and Methods A total of 130 painful unilateral cemented THAs with a mean follow-up of 5.17 years (sd 1.12) were included in this prospective study. The mean patient age was 67.5 years (sd 4.85). Preoperative evaluation with inflammatory markers, aspiration, and an F18 FDG PET scan were performed. Diagnostic utility tests were also performed, based on the MSIS criteria for PJI and three samples positive on culture alone. Results The mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and white cell count were 47.83 mm/hr, 25.21 mg/l, and 11.05 × 109/l, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value, and false-positive rate of FDG PET compared with MSIS criteria were 94.87%, 38.46 %, 56.38%, 94.59 %, and 60.21%, respectively. The false-positive rate of FDG PET compared with culture alone was 77.4%. Conclusion FDG PET has a definitive role in the preoperative evaluation of suspected PJI. This the first study to evaluate its utility based on MSIS criteria and compare it with microbiology results alone. However, FDG PET has a high false-positive rate. Therefore, we suggest that F18 FDG PET is useful in confirming the absence of infection, but if positive, may not be confirmatory of PJI. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:910–914.

Published: July 2019

Purpose The objective of this study was to explore whether there were any differences between the theoretical recommendations for children's supracondylar humeral fractures (CSHF) according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) guidelines and the treatments they actually received in our institution. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts and radiographs of all CSHFs at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2018. In all, 301 children meeting our inclusion criteria were identified and evaluated using the AAOS-Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) application for supracondylar humerus fractures. Actual treatment was then compared with the treatment recommended by the AUC. Results Actual operative management was undertaken in 0/58 (0%) Gartland type I fractures, 61/108 (56.5%) type II fractures and 98/135 (72.6%) type III fractures. Actual nonoperative management was undertaken in 58/58 (100%) Gartland type I fractures, 47/108 (43.5%) type II fractures and 37/135 (27.4%) type III fractures. Surgeon decisions for nonoperative treatment were in agreement with the AUC recommendations 100% of the time, whereas surgeon decisions for surgery matched the AUC recommendations 65.4% of the time. Predictors of actual operative management were age (p =0.003), fracture classification (p =0.000), associated orthopaedic injury requiring surgery (p =0.025) and anterior humeral line (AHL) not intersecting the capitellum (p =0.008). Conclusion We found low agreement between actual treatments and the AUC-recommended ‘appropriate’ treatments. The AUC favoured operative intervention more frequently largely on the basis of fracture classification while we emphasized age, fracture classification, associated orthopaedic injury requiring surgery and alignment of the AHL with the capitellum in our operative decision-making process.

Tracking control of a heavy chain system
Authors: Hinterbichler Christoph , Brunner Jakob , Schlacher Kurt 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
This paper deals with the tracking control of a particular heavy chain system, which consists of a chain mounted onto a pivoted disk. To this end, the governing system of ordinary differential equations is derived and a trajectory is computed via numerical optimization. As the arising optimization problem is computationally complex, a multithreading algorithm for parallel computation of the required derivatives is presented. Furthermore, a stabilizing feedback controller, based on damping injection and an integrator backstepping approach, is derived. Finally, measurements of a laboratory experiment show an excellent performance of the proposed control concept.
Gaußprozessregression zur Modellierung zeitvarianter Systeme
Authors: Bergmann Daniel , Graichen Knut 
Published: July 2019

Zusammenfassung
Datenbasierte Modellbildungsverfahren haben auch für komplexe und hochdimensionale Systeme an Bedeutung gewonnen. Sie bieten den Vorteil einer deutlich verkürzten Entwicklungszeit im Vergleich zur physikalischen Modellierung. Der Nachteil vieler herkömmlicher Verfahren ist allerdings, dass selbst einfaches Wissen, wie etwa Extrapolationseigenschaften, nicht in der Modellgenerierung berücksichtigt werden können. Deshalb soll in diesem Beitrag eine Methodik vorgestellt werden, wie auf Basis der Gaußprozessregression solches Wissen auch für datenbasierte Verfahren genutzt werden kann. Desweiteren ist es in vielen physikalischen Systemen notwendig, dass die Modelle während der Laufzeit an individuell unterschiedliche Systeme angepasst werden können. Dazu wird ein Online-Adaptionsverfahren vorgestellt, welches die Unsicherheitsinformation des Gaußprozesses nutzt, um Änderungen im System zu detektieren und das Modell anzupassen.
Verschlüsselte Regelung in der Cloud – Stand der Technik und offene Probleme
Authors: Schulze Darup Moritz 
Published: July 2019

Zusammenfassung
Zukünftige Regelungskonzepte werden verstärkt auf Cloud-Computing und verteiltes Rechnen setzen. In den resultierenden vernetzten Regelungssystemen werden sensible Daten über öffentliche Netzwerke kommuniziert und auf Plattformen Dritter verarbeitet. Verschlüsselte Regelungen zielen darauf ab, die Vertraulichkeit dieser Daten im gesamten Regelkreis zu sichern. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, werden klassische Regelungsalgorithmen so modifiziert, dass sie verschlüsselte Regeleingriffe basierend auf verschlüsselten Systemzuständen berechnen. Zum Einsatz kommen dabei homomorphe Verschlüsselungsverfahren, die einfache mathematische Operationen auf verschlüsselten Daten ermöglichen. Der Artikel erläutert die Implementierung verschlüsselter Regelungen anhand von drei wegweisenden Realisierungen in der Cloud.

Published: July 2019

Zusammenfassung
Im Projekt „Next Generation Train“ (NGT) bündelt das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) seine Schienenfahrzeugforschung. Der NGT ist ein Konzept für einen energieeffizienten Ultrahochgeschwindigkeitszug mit Einzelrad-Einzelfahrwerken. Diese erfordern eine Regelung der Lateraldynamik, um eine Spurführung mit reduziertem Verschleiß zu ermöglichen. Auf offener Strecke ist die direkte Messung der Querverschiebung schwer zu realisieren. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, mit welcher Sensorkonfiguration es möglich ist, die laterale Position durch einen nichtlinearen Beobachter schätzen zu können. Auf Grundlage der nichtlinearen Bewegungsgleichung und ausgewählter Sensorkonfigurationen wird die Beobachtbarkeit analysiert. Abschließend werden ein Extended und ein Unscented Kalman-Filter für die drei Sensorkonfiguration auf einem Echtzeitsystem implementiert und validiert.
Identity Politics in Managing the System Risks of Nation-Building: On the Example of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Authors: Dunaev Vladimir , Kurganskaya Valentina , Shaikemelev Mukhtarbek 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
In previous years, the evolution of nation-building politics in the Republic of Kazakhstan was characterized by an alternation of tactical schemes that actualized either the ethnocultural or civil-political foundations of statehood. At present, the emerging common Kazakhstani culture is becoming the basis for mutually agreed development of ethnocultural and civic identity as its own elements. In the system of common Kazakhstani culture, the civil and ethnocultural models of the nation are the poles or attractors of the process of self-organization of a single nationwide Kazakhstan identity. The optimal identity politics in the nation-building risk management in the conditions of modern Kazakhstan is to adopt the point of view of the whole set of identification models and to maintain the dynamic balance of conflicting identities through the mechanism of mutual checks and balances.
Do Transition Countries Converge towards the European Union?
Authors: Siljak Dzenita , Nagy Sándor Gyula 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze if the Western Balkan and Eastern Partnership countries converge towards the twenty-eight members of the European Union. The relationships between the selected macroeconomic variables and per capita GDP growth rate are econometrically tested to support this research. The analyzed period is 2004–2017, with two sub-periods: 2004–2008 and 2009–2013. The subdivision is made to test whether the recent financial crisis affected the absolute and conditional convergence process in the analyzed group of countries. The empirical findings support the economic convergence hypothesis. The results show that the recent financial crisis negatively affected the absolute and conditional convergence process, when economic variables are included in the analysis. The negative effects of the crisis on conditional convergence with economic and socio-political variables are not identified. The poorer countries in the analyzed group should do more to attract investment and open their economies, as gross fixed capital formation and economic openness have a positive impact on per capita growth, and keep low inflation or stabilize it, while general government debt and unemployment should be decreased in the examined sample of countries.
A latent class analysis towards stability and changes in breadwinning patterns among coupled households
Authors: Pennoni Fulvia , Nakai Miki 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A latent class model is proposed to examine couples’ breadwinning typologies and explain the wage differentials according to the socio-demographic characteristics of the society with data collected through surveys. We derive an ordinal variable indicating the couple’s income provision-role type and suppose the existence of an underlying discrete latent variable to model the effect of covariates. We use a two-step maximum likelihood inference conducted to account for concomitant variables, informative sampling scheme and missing responses. The weighted log-likelihood is maximised through the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and information criteria are used to develop the model selection. Predictions are made on the basis of the maximum posterior probabilities. Disposing of data collected in Japan over thirty years we compare couples’ breadwinning patterns across time. We provide some evidence of the gender wage-gap and we show that it can be attributed to the fact that, especially in Japan, duties and responsibilities for the child care are supported exclusively by women.
Role of Support in Hydrocracking of n-hexadecane over Sulfided NiMo Catalysts
Authors: Zanjani Nejed Behzad , Tavasoli Ahmad , Karimi Ali , Atabi Farideh 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The graphene nanosheets (GNS) have been considered as a support for the synthesis of catalysts applied in various catalytic reactions. In this research, the hydrocracking (HCK) of n-hexadecane as a model component of the long chain paraffin was carried out using synthesized Ni-Mo/GNS and commercial Ni-Mo/Al2O3-SiO2 catalysts in a fixed-bed reactor. The physico-chemical properties of catalysts were determined using XRF, TEM, XRD, TGA and NH3-TPD analysis. The effect of support on the conversion and product distribution in HCK of n-hexadecane was investigated. The stability of the catalysts in the presence of water and coke deposition was examined for the HCK of nonconventional feeds. The obtained results revealed that the active metals were anchored on the functionalized GNS and the stability of Ni-Mo/GNS was significantly increased compared to commercial catalyst. The obtained results indicated that the GNS-supported catalysts have a higher potential for HCK of n-hexadecane in comparison to commercial Ni-Mo/ Al2O3-SiO2 catalysts.
Signals and Spite in Fluctuating Populations
Authors: Smead Rory , Forber Patrick 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Spite (in the biological or evolutionary sense) is behavior that harms others at a cost to the actor. The presence of spite in human and animal populations presents an evolutionary puzzle. Recent work has suggested small populations and pre-play signaling can have a significant effect on the evolution of spite. Here, we use computational methods to explore these factors in fluctuating populations that may go extinct. We find that the presence of spite can make a population significantly more likely to go extinct, but that this does not preclude the possibility of spite reliably evolving. Additionally, we find that the stochastic effects of small fluctuating populations allow for the evolution and predominance of signal-mediated conditional spite across a wide range of conditions. These results suggest that directed harm, even if costly, can play a significant early role in the evolution of social behaviors and this provides a possible origin for punishment.
The Logical Sustainability Theory for pension systems: the discrete-time model in a stochastic framework under variable mortality
Authors: Angrisani Massimo , di Palo Cinzia 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The aim of this work is to provide the logical sustainability model for defined contribution pension systems (see [1], [2]) in the discrete framework under stochastic financial rate of the pension system fund and stochastic productivity of the active participants. In addition, the model is developed in the assumption of variable mortality tables.
Under these assumptions, the evolution equations of the fundamental state variables, the pension liability and the fund, are provided. In this very general discrete framework, the necessary and sufficient condition of the pension system sustainability, and all the other basic results of the logical sustainability theory, are proved.
In addition, in this work new results on the efficiency of the rule for the stabilization over time of the level of the unfunded pension liability with respect to wages, level that is defined as β indicator, are also proved.

Zur Chronologie der Götterkreise von Šamuḫa und die „alte Göttin“ in Kayalıpınar
Authors: Soysal Oğuz 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The local pantheon of Šamuḫa includes primarily female deities, among whom the most important is Šawuška. Before the “Goddess of the Night” from Kizzuwatna and later the “Šawuška of the Field” joined the local deities, the native goddess Apara of Šamuḫa probably held the position of the prime goddess of this city. A relief block in Kayalıpınar shows a sitting goddess. The aged-woman shape bears no stylistic similarity to any kind of Šawuška, so that one can regard Apara as a better candidate for the identification of the goddess figure from Kayalıpınar.
