Norms in Non-Western International Organizations: A Case Study of the Applicability of Western Normative Theory to the SCO and ASEAN

Subjects: subject: Normativity (Ethics)

description: An examination of how certain theories regarding norms apply or do not apply to non-Western organizations. In my research, I have applied normative theories to the SCO and ASEAN with the intent of answering the following question: which normative theories best explain why specific norm sets have emerged and diffused in the non-Western settings of the SCO and ASEAN? The normative theories I analyze are Finnemore and Sikkink's concept of the life cycle, Anne E. Towns' concept of norms and social rank, and Amitav Acharya's theory of norm localization. What can be drawn from these cases is that the specific norms that have emerged and diffused in these organizations are influenced by many factors, and no single theory encompasses an explanation for their behavior. These organizations serve as a testing ground for comprehension of the mechanisms explaining why norm sets emerge and diffuse in non-Western settings.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εξέτασε εκτενώς τη σύνθεση και τις επιπτώσεις του μετατραυματικού στρες στους πρόσφυγες, εστιάζοντας ιδιαίτερα στη σχέση του με τη γονεϊκότητα και την ανθεκτικότητα των παιδιών. Μέσα από τη συλλογή και ανάλυση δεδομένων, καταδείξαμε την ένταση και την ευρεία επίδραση που έχει το μετατραυματικό στρες στην οικογενειακή δυναμική και την αναπτυξιακή πορεία των παιδιών προσφύγων. Η ανάλυση των συμπτωμάτων του PTSD και η εξέταση των παραγόντων που επηρεάζουν την εμφάνισή τους ανέδειξε τη σημασία της ψυχοκοινωνικής υποστήριξης και της οικογενειακής συνοχής στη μείωση των αρνητικών επιπτώσεων του τραύματος στην οικογενειακή ζωή. Η ανάδειξη της σχέσης μεταξύ γονεϊκότητας και ανθεκτικότητας των παιδιών κατέδειξε όχι μόνο τις προκλήσεις αλλά και τις ευκαιρίες για παρέμβαση και ενίσχυση των οικογενειακών δεσμών σε περιβάλλοντα κρίσης. Η διερεύνηση του μετατραυματικού στρες στους πρόσφυγες, αποτελεί προτεραιότητα για την κοινωνία και την επιστημονική κοινότητα, καθώς προσφέρει πολύτιμες εισηγήσεις για τη βελτίωση της υποδοχής και της στήριξης προς τους ανθρώπους που έρχονται αντιμέτωποι με την αναγκαστική μετανάστευση και τις συνέπειές της. Τέλος, η εργασία υπογραμμίζει τη σημασία της συνεχούς έρευνας και ανάπτυξης πολιτικών υποστήριξης για τους πρόσφυγες, με στόχο τη βελτίωση της ποιότητας ζωής τους και την προώθηση της ψυχοκοινωνικής τους ευημερίας.
description: This thesis extensively examined the composition and impacts of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in refugees, with a particular focus on its relationship with parenting and the resilience of children. Through data collection and analysis, we highlighted the intensity and wide-reaching effects of PTSD on family dynamics and the developmental trajectories of refugee children. Analyzing PTSD symptoms and exploring contributing factors underscored the importance of psycho-social support and family cohesion in mitigating the trauma's negative impacts on family life. The elucidation of the relationship between parenting and children's resilience not only revealed challenges but also opportunities for intervention and strengthening family bonds in crisis environments. Investigating PTSD in refugees remains a priority for both society and the scientific community, offering valuable insights for improving reception and support for individuals facing forced migration and its consequences. Lastly, this work emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and the development of supportive policies for refugees, aimed at enhancing their quality of life and promoting their psycho-social well-being.

description: Electrons in graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride are modelled by Dirac fermions in a correlated random-mass landscape subject to a scalar- and vector-potential disorder. We find that the system is insulating in the commensurate phase since the average mass deviates from zero. At the transition the mean mass is vanishing and electronic conduction in a finite sample can be described by a critical percolation along zero-mass lines. In this case graphene at the Dirac point is in a critical state with the conductivity $\sqrt{3}e^2/h$. In the incommensurate phase the system behaves as a symplectic metal.

description: We have studied the dynamics of the appearance of cells reacting positively with anti-S-100 protein antiserum, during postnatal neurocytogenesis in the brain of rats of two strains differing in their susceptibility to sound stimuli. The postnatal time of appearance of cells reacting positively with anti-S-100 protein antiserum was somewhat later in rats susceptible to sound-induced seizures than in sound-resistant rats. These differences concerned mainly the cerebral cortex of 12-day-old rats. By day 21 of postnatal life these differences had disappeared. In subcortical structures of the brain, S-100 protein was first found on the 4th to the 5th day of life and the rate of appearance of cells containing this protein was similar in the two strains.

description: Large sets of objects with spectroscopic redshift measurements will be needed for imaging dark energy experiments to achieve their full potential, serving two goals:_training_, i.e., the use of objects with known redshift to develop and optimize photometric redshift algorithms; and_calibration_, i.e., the characterization of moments of redshift (or photo-z error) distributions. Better training makes cosmological constraints from a given experiment stronger, while highly-accurate calibration is needed for photo-z systematics not to dominate errors. In this white paper, we investigate the required scope of spectroscopic datasets which can serve both these purposes for ongoing and next-generation dark energy experiments, as well as the time required to obtain such data with instruments available in the next decade. Large time allocations on kilo-object spectrographs will be necessary, ideally augmented by infrared spectroscopy from space. Alternatively, precision calibrations could be obtained by measuring cross-correlation statistics using samples of bright objects from a large baryon acoustic oscillation experiment such as DESI. We also summarize the additional work on photometric redshift methods needed to prepare for ongoing and future dark energy experiments.

description: Presence of a metal nanoparticle near a quantum dipole emitter, when a localized surface plasmon mode is excited via the resonant coupling with an excited quantum dipole, changes dramatically the relaxation dynamics: it is no longer described by an exponential decay but exhibits step-like behavior. The main physical consequence of this relaxation process is that the emission, being largely determined by the metal nanoparticle, comes out with a substantial delay. A large number of system parameters in our analytical description opens new possibilities for controlling quantum emitter dynamics.

description: Following an early work of Dwork and Stockmeyer on interactive proof systems whose verifiers are two-way probabilistic finite automata, the authors initiated in 2004 a study on the computational power of quantum interactive proof systems whose verifiers are particularly limited to quantum finite automata. As a follow-up to the authors' early journal publication [J. Comput. System Sci., vol.75, pp.255-269, 2009], we further investigate the quantum nature of interactions between provers and verifiers by studying how various restrictions on quantum interactive proof systems affect the language recognition power of the proof systems. In particular, we examine three intriguing restrictions that (i) provers always behave in a classical fashion, (ii) verifiers always reveal to provers the information on next moves, and (iii) the number of interactions between provers and verifiers is bounded.

description: In this paper we introduce a Platform created in order to support SMEs' endeavor to extract value from their intangible assets effectively. To implement the Platform, we developed five knowledge bases using a knowledge-based ex-pert system shell that contain knowledge from intangible as-set consultants, patent attorneys and due diligence lawyers. In order to operationalize the knowledge bases, we developed a "Rosetta Stone", an interpreter unit for the knowledge bases outside the shell and embedded in the plat-form. Building on the initial knowledge bases we have created a system of red flags, risk scoring, and valuation with the involvement of the same experts; these additional systems work upon the initial knowledge bases and therefore they can be regarded as meta-knowledge-representations that take the form of second-order knowledge graphs. All this clever technology is dressed up in an easy-to-handle graphical user interface that we will showcase at the conference. The initial platform was finished mid-2024; therefore, it qualifies as an "emerging application of AI" and "deployable AI", while development continues. The two firms that provided experts for developing the knowledge bases obtained a white-label version of the product (i.e. it runs under their own brand "powered by Intanify"), and there are two completed cases.

description: In this work we study the properties of protoclusters of galaxies by employing the MUSIC set of hydrodynamical simulations, featuring a mass-limited sample of 282 resimulated clusters with available merger trees up to high redshift, and we trace the cluster formation back to $z$ = 1.5, 2.3 and 4. We study the features and redshift evolution of the mass and the spatial distribution for all the cluster progenitors and for the protoclusters, which we define as the most massive progenitors of the clusters identified at $z$ = 0. A natural extension to redshifts larger than 1 is applied to the estimate of the baryon content also in terms of gas and stars budgets: no remarkable variations with redshift are discovered. Furthermore, motivated by the proven potential of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich surveys to blindly search for faint distant objects, we focus on the scaling relation between total object mass and integrated Compton $y$-parameter, and we check for the possibility to extend the mass-observable paradigm to the protocluster regime, far beyond the redshift of 1, to account for the properties of the simulated objects. We find that the slope of this scaling law is steeper than what expected for a self-similarity assumption among these objects, and it increases with redshift mainly for the synthetic clusters where radiative processes, such as radiative cooling, heating processes of the gas due to UV background, star formation and supernovae feedback, are included. We use three different criteria to account for the dynamical state of the protoclusters, and find no significant dependence of the scaling parameters from the level of relaxation. Based on this, we exclude that the dynamical state is the cause of the observed deviations from self-similarity.

description: The photometric properties of main sequence (MS) and pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in the young cluster Haffner 16 are examined using images recorded with the Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) and corrected for atmospheric blurring by the Gemini Multi-Conjugate Adapative Optics System (GeMS). A rich population of PMS stars is identified, and comparisons with isochrones suggest an age < 10 Myr assuming a distance modulus of 13.5 (D = 5 kpc). When compared with the solar neighborhood, Haffner 16 is roughly a factor of two deficient in objects with sub-solar masses. PMS objects in the cluster are also more uniformly distributed on the sky than bright MS stars. It is suggested that Haffner 16 is dynamically evolved, and that it is shedding protostars with sub-solar masses. Young low mass clusters like Haffner 16 are one possible source of PMS stars in the field. The cluster will probably evolve on time scales of ~ 100 - 1000 Myr into a diffuse moving group with a mass function that is very different from that which prevailed early in its life.

description: France is a unitary state, with a certain degree of asymmetric decentralization. Metropolitan France is currently divided into 13 regions, further divided into 96 departments. Overseas France does comprise five overseas departments and regions, five overseas collectivities, New Caledonia, and French Southern and Antarctic Lands and the Clipperton island. The overseas collectivities—except for Saint Pierre and Miquelon—have an autonomous or semi-autonomous status, while the overseas departments and regions share the same status of departments in metropolitan France. New Caledonia is granted a unique status in the French system and is considered a sui generis overseas collectivity. To date, fully-fledged territorial autonomy remains elusive for Corsica. Decentralization has progressed since the 1970s but has not challenged France’s unitary structure, while Corsica has been granted a sui generis form of insular self-government within the loosely decentralized framework of metropolitan France. The atypical and ambiguous status of Corsica, in comparison to both mainland territorial collectivities and overseas ones, has not met Corsicans’ current needs and expectations.

description: We introduce a set of multi-way dual Cheeger constants and prove universal higher-order dual Cheeger inequalities for eigenvalues of normalized Laplace operators on weighted finite graphs. Our proof proposes a new spectral clustering phenomenon deduced from metrics on real projective spaces. We further extend those results to a general reversible Markov operator and find applications in characterizing its essential spectrum.

description: Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments usually assume the simplest possible 'Standard Halo Model' for the Milky Way (MW) halo in which the velocity distribution is Maxwellian. This model assumes that the MW halo is an isotropic, isothermal sphere, hypotheses that are unlikely to be valid in reality. An alternative approach is to derive a self-consistent solution for a particular mass model of the MW (i.e. obtained from its gravitational potential) using the Eddington formalism, which assumes isotropy. In this paper we extend this approach to incorporate an anisotropic phase-space distribution function. We perform Bayesian scans over the parameters defining the mass model of the MW and parameterising the phase-space density, implementing constraints from a wide range of astronomical observations. The scans allow us to estimate the precision reached in the reconstruction of the velocity distribution (for different DM halo profiles). As expected, allowing for an anisotropic velocity tensor increases the uncertainty in the reconstruction of f(v) but the distribution can still be determined with a precision of a factor of 4-5. The mean velocity distribution resembles the isotropic case, however the amplitude of the high-velocity tail is up to a factor of 2 larger. Our results agree with the phenomenological parametrization proposed in Mao et al. (2013) as a good fit to N-body simulations (with or without baryons), since their velocity distribution is contained in our 68% credible interval.

description: The ability to update firmware is a feature that is found in nearly all modern embedded systems. We demonstrate how this feature can be exploited to allow attackers to inject malicious firmware modifications into vulnerable embedded devices. We discuss techniques for exploiting such vulnerable functionality and the implementation of a proof of concept printer malware capable of network reconnaissance, data exfiltration and propagation to general purpose computers and other embedded device types. We present a case study of the HP-RFU (Remote Firmware Update) LaserJet printer firmware modification vulnerability, which allows arbitrary injection of malware into the printer’s firmware via standard printed documents. We show vulnerable population data gathered by continuously tracking all publicly accessible printers discovered through an exhaustive scan of IPv4 space. To show that firmware update signing is not the panacea of embedded defense, we present an analysis of known vulnerabilities found in third-party libraries in 373 LaserJet firmware images. Prior research has shown that the design flaws and vulnerabilities presented in this paper are found in other modern embedded systems. Thus, the exploitation techniques presented in this paper can be generalized to compromise other embedded systems.

description: Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας εργασίας διενεργήθηκε μια μη αυτοματοποιημένη αξιολόγηση της ποιότητας μηχανικών μεταφράσεων για το γλωσσικό ζεύγος αγγλικά-ελληνικά με τη μέθοδο της επισημείωσης λαθών. Για την παραγωγή των υπό αξιολόγηση μεταφράσεων χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τα συστήματα μετάφρασης Google Translate, DeepL Translator και GhatGPT (GPT-4), το οποίο ανήκει στην οικογένεια των μεγάλων γλωσσικών μοντέλων. Η αξιολόγηση διενεργήθηκε από δέκα άτομα μη επαγγελματίες μεταφραστές. Βάση της επισημείωσης αποτέλεσε η Βασική Τυπολογία Λαθών ΜQM (ΜQM Core Error Typology), από την οποία επιλέχτηκαν οι εξής κατηγορίες λάθους: Ορολογία, Πιστότητα, Γλωσσικές Συμβάσεις. Με στόχο την παραγωγή αξιόπιστων αποτελεσμάτων, διαμορφώθηκε ένα αναλυτικό πλαίσιο κατευθυντηρίων για την επισημείωση λαθών από μη επαγγελματίες μεταφραστές, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη ποικίλες παραμέτρους. Οι επισημειωτές εντόπισαν τα λάθη στα μηχανικά μεταφράσματα, εν συνεχεία τα ταξινόμησαν στις κατηγορίες και υποκατηγορίες σφάλματος οι οποίες επιλέχθηκαν και τέλος τα χαρακτήρισαν ως δευτερεύοντα και σοβαρά, ανάλογα με την επίπτωση που είχε κάθε ένα εξ αυτών στην κατανόηση και χρησιμότητα του προς αξιολόγηση κειμένου. Τα αποτελέσματα της επισημείωσης παρουσιάζονται τόσο με βάση τον συνολικό αριθμό σφαλμάτων όσο και με βάση των συνολικό αριθμό δευτερευόντων και σοβαρών σφαλμάτων, αναδεικνύοντας τα πλεονεκτήματα και τις αδυναμίες του κάθε συστήματος μετάφρασης.
description: In the context of the present study, a human evaluation of the quality of machine translations for the English-Greek language pair was carried out, using the method of error annotation. Τhe translation systems Google Translate, DeepL Translator, and ChatGPT (GPT-4), which belongs to the family of large language models, were used to produce the translations under evaluation. The evaluation was carried out by ten non-professional translators. The basis of the annotation was the MQM Core Error Typology and in particular the following error categories: Terminology, Accuracy and Linguistic Conventions. To ensure reliable results, a detailed framework of guidelines was developed for the error annotation by non-professional translators, taking into account various parameters. The annotators identified the errors in the machine translations, classified them into the selected categories and subcategories, and finally characterized them as minor or major, depending on the impact of each error on the comprehension and usability of the evaluated text. The annotation results are presented both in terms of the total number of errors and the total number of minor and major errors, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each translation system.

description: In an Introductory Physics for Life Science (IPLS) course that leverages authentic biological examples, student ideas about entropy as "disorder" or "chaos" come into contact with their ideas about the spontaneous formation of organized biological structure. It is possible to reconcile the "natural tendency to disorder" with the organized clustering of macromolecules, but doing so in a way that will be meaningful to students requires that we take seriously the ideas about entropy and spontaneity that students bring to IPLS courses from their prior experiences in biology and chemistry. We draw on case study interviews to argue that an approach that emphasizes the interplay of energy and entropy in determining spontaneity (one that involves a central role for free energy) is one that draws on students' resources from biology and chemistry in particularly effective ways. We see the positioning of entropic arguments alongside energetic arguments in the determination of spontaneity as an important step toward making our life science students' biology, chemistry, and physics experiences more coherent.

description: The boloSource() algorithm is a tool to separate the signal of compact sources from that of the diffuse background in the timeline of far-infrared measurements performed by the PACS camera of the Herschel Space Observatory. An important characteristic and quality indicator of this method is that how well it can reproduce the flux of faint standard stars which have reliable flux estimates. For this propose we selected a few calibrator targets and constructed light curves by extracting point source flux for each repetition of the measurements independently using standard aperture photometry methods. These were compared with the light curves obtained using the boloSource() method on the same dataset. The results indicate that boloSource() provides a similar level of photometric accuracy and reproducibility as the usual flux extraction and photometry methods. This new technique will be developed further and also tested against other methods in more complex fields with the goal to make it usable for large-scale studies in the future.

description: General intelligence has been a topic of high interest for over a century. Traditionally, research on general intelligence was based on principal component analyses and other dimensionality reduction approaches. The advent of high-speed computing has provided alternative statistical tools that have been used to test predictions of human general intelligence. In comparison, research on general intelligence in non-human animals is in its infancy and still relies mostly on factor-analytical procedures. Here, we argue that dimensionality reduction, when incorrectly applied, can lead to spurious results and limit our understanding of ecological and evolutionary causes of variation in animal cognition. Using a meta-analytical approach, we show, based on 555 bivariate correlations, that the average correlation among cognitive abilities is low (r = 0.185; 95% CI: 0.087–0.287), suggesting relatively weak support for general intelligence in animals. We then use a case study with relatedness (genetic) data to demonstrate how analysing traits using mixed models, without dimensionality reduction, provides new insights into the structure of phenotypic variance among cognitive traits, and uncovers genetic associations that would be hidden otherwise. We hope this article will stimulate the use of alternative tools in the study of cognition and its evolution in animals.
title: Cell intrinsic innate immunity protein RPRD2 restricts transcription from the HIV-1 LTR in human cell lines

description: HIV-1 establishes latency after infection in resting CD4+ T-cells which prevents the host from clearing the virus. Highly active antiretroviral therapy effectively keeps HIV replication under control, however, the latent reservoir remains unaffected, thus therapy is never curative. The establishment and persistence of latency are complex and still incompletely characterised. Host factors that repress retroviral transcription are thought to be involved in this phenomenon. RPRD2 was identified as an antiviral protein that restricts HIV replication during reverse transcription. RPRD2 has since been shown as a general inhibitor of transcription. Here we show that RPRD2 might also be involved in the restriction of HIV provirus transcription. Transient siRNA knockdown of RPRD2 increases transcription in 293T cells transfected with a GFP tagged HIV-1 LTR driven reported vector. Interestingly when RPRD2 is transiently knocked down in HeLa cells there is no effect on HIV-1 LTR GFP reporter expression. Our results propose a novel role for RPRD2 in the transcriptional repression of HIV-1, which may affect viral latency. The inadequacies of antiretroviral therapy make the development of an HIV cure essential. Currently the two major cure strategies “Shock and kill” and “Block and lock” require a better understanding of latency and the transcription of the HIV-1 provirus. Studying RPRD2 in the context of transcription may be of value for the development of an HIV-1 cure.

description: If we wish to break the continual cycle of patching and replacing our core monoculture systems to defend against attacker evasion tactics, we must redesign the way systems are deployed so that the attacker can no longer glean the information about one system that allows attacking any other like system. Hence, a new poly-culture architecture that provides complete uniqueness for each distinct device would thwart many remote attacks (except perhaps for insider attacks). We believe a new security paradigm based on perpetual mutation and diversity, driven by symbiotic defensive mutualism can fundamentally change the ‘cat and mouse’ dynamic which has impeded the development of truly effective security mechanism to date. We propose this new ‘clean slate design’ principle and conjecture that this defensive strategy can also be applied to legacy systems widely deployed today. Fundamentally, the technique diversifies the defensive system of the protected host system thwarting attacks against defenses commonly executed by modern malware.
