Harmonization of 2020 Round of National Census Programs Across the CIS. Towards the International Comparability of Results
Authors: Surinov A. Ye. 
Published: July 2022

This study draws on the findings of a survey conducted by the Interstate Statistical Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS-Stat) in the framework of a joint project with the UNFPA – CISPop «Better Data for Better Policies».The paper aims to present the author’s assessment of the level of harmonization between the national census programs across the CIS and the inter-comparability of their results in terms of total population size and its composition. The study is based on the analysis of methodological documents, which include census forms, manuals for census enumerators (census takers) and technical materials for census personal, that describes the concepts, definitions, and classifications used in national censuses. For countries where no censuses were taken, the authors used materials from pilot censuses and drafts of census documents.The study established that among countries there is a high degree of coherence of national census programs in terms of the key topics, concepts, and classifications used, as well as the wordings of the questions and their prompts. Simultaneously, the analysis allowed us to determine that national statistical services of the region focus on the expectations of their respective populations and take into account national legislation, local conditions, and traditions. First of all, nation-specific features manifested themselves in the formulation of questions concerning the economic, educational, and ethno-cultural characteristics of the population.Analysis of the materials of the works performed on the implementation of the 2020 round of population census programs across the CIS indicates that, based on the data of population censuses conducted in the past few years, it is possible to obtain harmonized data on the size and main characteristics of the population of countries, to provide international comparisons both within the CIS region, and between countries of the region and other countries of the world. International statistical community should be well informed about national practices of the CIS countries so that region-specific features can be accounted for in the international recommendations for future censuses.

Abstract
The asymmetry in the capacitance–voltage (C–V) curves obtained from a ferroelectric material can provide information concerning the internal microstructure of a specimen. The present study visualized nanoscale switching of a HfO2-based ferroelectric thin film in real space based on assessing asymmetry using a local C–V mapping method. Several parameters were extracted from the local C–V curves at each point. The parameter V

i
, indicating the lateral shift of the local C–V curve, was employed as an indicator of local imprint. In addition, the differences in the areas between the C–V curves for the forward and reverse sweeps, S
f − S
r, provided another slightly different indicator of nanoscale switching asymmetry. These parameters obtained from asymmetric C–V curves are thought to be related to internal electric fields and local stress caused by defects in the film. The work reported here also involved a cluster analysis of the extracted parameters using the k-means method.
Is My Perspective Better Than Yours? Blockchain Interoperability with Views

Published: July 2022

<p>Distributed ledger technology (DLT) provides decentralized and tamper-resistant data storage, replicated among mutually untrusting participants. With the advancement of this technology, different privacy-preserving blockchains have been proposed, such as Corda, Hyperledger Fabric, and Digital Asset's Canton. These distributed ledgers only provide \emph{partial consistency}, which implies that participants can view the same ledger differently. </p>
<p>A \emph{view} represents the states of a blockchain available to a particular stakeholder. The combination of views forms an integrated view that represents a consistent global state shared by all participants. </p>
<p>This paper introduces BUNGEE (Blockchain UNifier view GEnErator), the first DLT view generator, to allow capturing DLT snapshots, constructing views, and performing arbitrary operations on those, such as integrating views. Creating and integrating views allows interesting applications, such as stakeholder-centric snapshots for audits, cross-chain analysis, blockchain migration, and data analytics.</p>
Approximate Noise-Whitening in MIMO Detection via Banded-Inverse Extension
Authors: Hu Sha , Wang Hao 
Published: July 2022

<p> </p>
<p>In this paper, we propose a novel approximate noise-whitening for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) detection with banded-inverse extension (BIE). If a noise covariance matrix origins from a Gauss-Markov process (GMP), its inverse is banded and the proposal is exact and yields no accuracy-losses. For general matrices to be inverted, the approximation-errors from inversion introduce a mismatched MIMO detection-model, which can cause performance-degradation. Hence, we develop an information-theoretic tool with generalized mutual information (GMI) to evaluate the impacts from approximation-errors on the final achievable rate. We show that the approximate noise-whitening method based on BIE not only minimizes the noise-distortion measured from the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, but also asymptotically maximizes GMI of the MIMO system as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases. Besides, the proposal also provides a unified framework for approximate matrix-inverse with an adjustable band-size that can tune the trade-off between complexity and accuracy.</p>

<p>A unified understanding of terms and their applicability is essential for every scientific discipline: steganography is no exception. Being divided into several domains (for instance, text steganography, digital media steganography, and network steganography), it is crucial to provide a unified terminology as well as a taxonomy that is not limited to some specific applications or areas. A prime attempt towards a unified understanding of terms was conducted in 2015 with the introduction of a pattern-based taxonomy for network steganography. Six years later, in 2021, the first work towards a pattern-based taxonomy for steganography was proposed. However, this initial attempt still faced several shortcomings, e.g., the lack of patterns for several steganography domains (the work mainly focused on network steganography and covert channels), various terminology issues, and the need of providing a tutorial on how the taxonomy can be used during engineering and scientific tasks, including the paper-writing process.</p>
<p>As the consortium who published this initial 2021-study on steganography patterns, in this paper we present the first comprehensive pattern-based taxonomy tailored to fit all known domains of steganography, including smaller and emerging areas, such as filesystem steganography and cyber-physical systems steganography. Besides, to make our contribution more effective and promote the use of the taxonomy to advance research on steganography, we also provide a thorough tutorial on its utilization. </p>

Published: July 2022

<p>This letter presents a novel design for a 3D-printed circular waveguide dual-mode (CWDM) filter with a modified cavity shape. The modification leads to a wide spurious-free stopband, which is highly desirable for channel separation in waveguide contiguous output multiplexers (OMUXs) in satellite communication systems. The new resonant cavity design is a result of applying shape deformation to a basic circular cavity in order to move away and suppress parasitic modes. A fourth-order Ku-band channel filter with two transmission zeros is designed, fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) in one piece and measured. In comparison with the state-of-the-art design of a stepped CWDM filter, an improvement of approximately 35% wider spurious-free range is achieved </p>

Colonial Filosofia Brasileira
Authors: Silveira Ronie Alexsandro Teles 
Published: July 2022

Resumo: O texto parte da noção de que a filosofia brasileira é colonial em função do modo como tem se relacionado com o Brasil. Essa característica colonial se manifesta mesmo naquelas situações em que se tenta articular a prática filosófica com o restante da cultura – dentro de uma perspectiva orgânica. Exatamente quando tentamos pensar o Brasil desse ponto de vista é que se manifesta mais intensamente aquele caráter colonial da filosofia. Ilustro como se estabeleceu no nosso país um sistema de reprodução social que produz a desintegração como resultado. Isso permite ilustrar os dispositivos culturais vigentes da justaposição que predominam no Brasil e com os quais qualquer forma pertinente de filosofia precisa lidar.

Published: July 2022

One of the most pressing problems for today's global community is climate change and its impact on human health and well-being. Education for the youth is one of the most effective tools to combat the destructive potential impacts of climate change. This study aims to investigate the student’s actions towards climate change mitigation, identify student activities aimed at climate change mitigation and explore the obstacles faced by students at the State University of Malang, and The University of the South Pacific. A qualitative approach was used to gather data on students’ actions towards climate change mitigation. This paper uses the case study method to examine students' actions towards climate change mitigation at two different student organizations at The University of the South Pacific, Fiji, and the State University of Malang, Indonesia. The data was collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the actions of students at the State University of Malang are centered around on-campus activities while students at The University of the South Pacific boast broader participation such as policy-making. Barriers to climate change mitigation at both Universities include lack of funds, information, involvement, insufficient time, and seriousness towards climate change mitigation.
Streamlining experiment design in cognitive hearing science using OpenSesame
Authors: Sulas Eleonora , Hasan Pierre-Yves , Zhang Yue , Patou François 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAuditory science increasingly builds on concepts and testing paradigms originated in behavioral psychology and cognitive neuroscience – an evolution of which the resulting discipline is now known as cognitive hearing science. Experimental cognitive hearing science paradigms call for hybrid cognitive and psychobehavioral tests such as those relating the attentional system, working memory, and executive functioning to low-level auditory acuity or speech intelligibility. Building complex multi-stimuli experiments can rapidly become time-consuming and error-prone. Platform-based experiment design can help streamline the implementation of cognitive hearing science experimental paradigms, promote the standardization of experiment design practices, and ensure reliability and control. Here, we introduce a set of features for the open-source python-based OpenSesame platform that allows the rapid implementation of custom behavioral and cognitive hearing science tests, including complex multichannel audio stimuli while interfacing with various synchronous inputs/outputs. Our integration includes advanced audio playback capabilities with multiple loudspeakers, an adaptive procedure, compatibility with standard I/Os and their synchronization through implementation of the Lab Streaming Layer protocol. We exemplify the capabilities of this extended OpenSesame platform with an implementation of the three-alternative forced choice amplitude modulation detection test and discuss reliability and performance. The new features are available free of charge from GitHub:https://github.com/elus-om/BRM_OMEXP.
Formation of the Simplest Amide in Molecular Clouds: Formamide (NH2CHO) and Its Derivatives in H2O-rich and CO-rich Interstellar Ice Analogs upon VUV Irradiation

Abstract
The astronomical detection of formamide (NH2CHO) toward various star-forming regions and in cometary material implies that the simplest amide might have an early origin in dark molecular clouds at low temperatures. Laboratory studies have proven the efficient NH2CHO formation in interstellar CO:NH3 ice analogs upon energetic processing. However, it is still under debate, whether the proposed radical–radical recombination reactions forming complex organic molecules remain valid in an abundant H2O environment. The aim of this work was to investigate the formation of NH2CHO in H2O- and CO-rich ices under conditions prevailing in molecular clouds. Therefore, different ice mixtures composed of H2O:CO:NH3 (10:5:1), CO:NH3 (4:1), and CO:NH3 (0.6:1) were exposed to vacuum ultraviolet photons in an ultra-high vacuum chamber at 10 K. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was utilized to monitor in situ the initial and newly formed species as a function of photon fluence. The infrared spectral identifications are complementarily secured by a temperature-programmed desorption experiment combined with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The energetic processing of CO:NH3 ice mixtures mainly leads to the formation of NH2CHO, along with its chemical derivatives such as isocyanic acid (HNCO) and cyanate ion (OCN−). The formation kinetics of NH2CHO shows an explicit dependency on ice ratios and compositions; the highest yield is found in H2O-rich ice. The astronomical relevance of the resulting reaction network is discussed.
Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation of the Confined Eruption of a Magnetic Flux Rope: Magnetic Structure and Plasma Thermodynamics
Authors: Wang Can , Chen Feng , Ding Mingde , Lu Zekun 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
It is widely believed that magnetic flux ropes are the key structure of solar eruptions; however, their observable counterparts are not clear yet. We study a flare associated with flux rope eruption in a comprehensive radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulation of flare-productive active regions, especially focusing on the thermodynamic properties of the plasma involved in the eruption and their relation to the magnetic flux rope. The preexisting flux rope, which carries cold and dense plasma, rises quasi-statically before the onset of eruptions. During this stage, the flux rope does not show obvious signatures in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emission. After the flare onset, a thin “current shell” is generated around the erupting flux rope. Moreover, a current sheet is formed under the flux rope, where two groups of magnetic arcades reconnect and create a group of postflare loops. The plasma within the “current shell,” current sheet, and postflare loops are heated to more than 10 MK. The postflare loops give rise to abundant soft X-ray emission. Meanwhile, a majority of the plasma hosted in the flux rope is heated to around 1 MK, and the main body of the flux rope is manifested as a bright arch in cooler EUV passbands such as the AIA 171 Å channel.

Published: July 2022

Monaragala is one of the main non-traditional rubber cultivating areas in Sri Lanka, where majority of rubber is cultivated by smallholders. This is an attempt to identify the socio demographic characteristics, rubber cultivation characteristics, and rubber processing characteristic of smallholders in Monaragala district. The data used in this study were gathered through a field survey using a sample of 150 smallholders and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the survey showed that the knowledge of smallholders regarding rubber processing was around 70% and the processing standards was at a lower level. Majority of the smallholders are producing Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) or sell raw field latex, which resembles that there is a potential to diversify the processing sector by introducing other processing techniques such as crepe rubber and technically specified rubber. Majority of the sample population which was around 63% were attracted towards high cost group processing centers than processing RSS at household level by using low-cost simple techniques such as using carpets for milling and chimney for smoke drying.
