The ‘migrant children schooling crisis’: examining the intersection between media framing, neoliberalism and schooling (Leicestershire) The pilot project aims to address tensions identified with the ‘migrant children schooling crisis’ as it is portrayed in the media and the challenges this brings to local authorities and schools who have to place and educate ‘migrant children’. This is an intersectional study between the media framing of neoliberalism, framing of tensions within the education sector and the reality of how local authorities and schools deal with those tensions. The project investigates this by undertaking a frame analysis of newspapers (2015-2018), interviewing local authority advisors, Executive Head of MATS, Chair of Governors, school Teachers and Head Teachers and is based in Leicestershire. The project aligns with CURA’s strategic focus on developing interdisciplinary, cross-faculty research partnerships involving education, media and politics. The project has the potential to expand the reach by engaging with psychology looking at building resilience within schools, depending on the findings from this pilot study. The study is aimed at reducing inequalities in society (UNSDG 10) by devising strategies and tools to survive in the age of austerity.

description: Allocation of fish resource is a controversial subject. Decision making is partly made difficult by the lack of knowledge on recreational fishing preferences and the value of fishing opportunities. This study investigates fishing site choices in Western Australia. Recreational fishing data covering the eight major fishing regions and fourty eight fishing sites in the State are used. The data are used to estimate a random utility model (RUM) of site choice behaviour with a supporting negative binomial econometric model of angler and fish-specific expected catch rates. We provide value estimates for different fish types, fishing site attribute changes as well as site access values. It is argued that sound economic value estimates can be starkly different from ad hoc recreational estimates that are commonly cited or presented.

description: We present a general analysis of the lepton polarizations in the rare Bs ->γ\ell^+ \ell^- decays by using the most general model independent form of the effective Hamiltonian. The sensitivity of the longitudinal, transverse and normal polarizations of final state leptons, as well as lepton-antilepton combined asymmetries, on the new Wilson coefficients are investigated. It has been shown that all these physical observables are very sensitive to the existence of new physics beyond the standard model and their experimental measurements can give valuable information about it.

description: A detailed analysis of a Stueckelberg extension of the electro-weak gauge group with an extra U(1) factor is presented for the Standard Model as well as for the MSSM. The extra gauge boson gets massive through a Stueckelberg type coupling to a pseudo-scalar, instead of a Higgs effect. This new massive neutral gauge boson Z' has vector and axial vector couplings uniquely different from those of conventional extra abelian gauge bosons, such as appear e.g. in GUT models. The extended MSSM furthermore contains two extra neutralinos and one extra neutral CP-even scalar, the latter with a mass larger than that of the Z'. One interesting scenario that emerges is an LSP that is dominantly composed out of the new neutralinos, leading to a possible new superweak candidate for dark matter. We investigate signatures of the Stueckelberg extension at a linear collider and discuss techniques for the detection of the expected sharp Z' resonance. It turns out that the substantially modified forward-backward asymmetry around the Z' pole provides an important signal. Furthermore, we also elaborate on generalizations of the minimal Stueckelberg extension to an arbitrary number of extra U(1) gauge factors.

description: The BES collaboration has recently observed a strong enhancement close to the proton-antiproton threshold in the J/Psi decays into photon, proton and antiproton. Such a structure can be explained by a traditional nucleon-antinucleon model. The near threshold 1S0 bound state and/or the well-established 3P0 resonant state found in this nucleon-antinucleon interaction can adequately describe the BES data.

description: The discussion about bioenergy solutions and respective interaction with food security concerns continues to be a difficult subject in the international arena. The academic efforts to address the issue should be based on facts and models that allow a sound decision process. However, beyond theoretical considerations and model implications, the facts based on case studies provide, probably, the most powerful arguments, mainly when they are supported by some rationalization and a chosen reference model. The research we want to discuss is based on the study of the two major countries and “players” in the bioenergy initiatives and related agricultural changes driven by that process, USA and Brazil. The key factors to study the subject are markets, institutions and regulation needs, within a systematic approach, beginning with sustainability considerations (environment impacts), market behaviour and food prices and opportunities “versus” risks at local and global levels. For agribusiness opportunities it seems evident that bioenergy alternative is a powerful area for intervention mainly in less developed countries with available land resources. On the other hand, markets and mainly food markets need to be under consideration which might require institutional innovation and different forms of regulation, both public and private regulation. More regulation does not mean, necessarily, less markets and more state intervention. In some cases it can be a decisive factor for better markets and more market economic driven changes. The actual research also provides examples of private regulation with good results.

description: Simulation is increasingly being used for generating large labelled datasets in many machine learning problems. Recent methods have focused on adjusting simulator parameters with the goal of maximising accuracy on a validation task, usually relying on REINFORCE-like gradient estimators. However these approaches are very expensive as they treat the entire data generation, model training, and validation pipeline as a black-box and require multiple costly objective evaluations at each iteration. We propose an efficient alternative for optimal synthetic data generation, based on a novel differentiable approximation of the objective. This allows us to optimize the simulator, which may be non-differentiable, requiring only one objective evaluation at each iteration with a little overhead. We demonstrate on a state-of-the-art photorealistic renderer that the proposed method finds the optimal data distribution faster (up to $50\times$), with significantly reduced training data generation (up to $30\times$) and better accuracy ($+8.7\%$) on real-world test datasets than previous methods.

description: We study the distribution of the durations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the unified model of short and long GRBs recently proposed by Yamazaki, Ioka, and Nakamura. Monte Carlo simulations show clear bimodal distributions, with lognormal-like shapes for both short and long GRBs, in a power-law as well as a Gaussian angular distribution of the subjets. We find that the bimodality comes from the existence of the discrete emission regions (subjets or patchy shells) in the GRB jet. To explain other temporal properties of short and long GRBs, the subjet parameters should depend on the angle in the whole jet.

description: Traceability can serve various purposes in the food sector, including that of chain quality control. However, the aspects that seem to be most frequently required of traceability are those related to food safety. Nevertheless, traceability systems development has recently shifted its focus from the major aspects of food safety to a price premium search approach. Although such an approach often appears to lie behind production strategies, there is no technical or theoretical evidence to support it: traceability systems do not guarantee, per se, quality. On the other hand, a rigorous traceability system that pursues multiple objectives involves costly procedures that are very likely to feed all the way up to the consumer side. The mainstream literature is rich in technical and economic studies on traceability. Nevertheless, little has been written on the effects of traceability costs on quantity demanded. While numerous studies show a higher consumer willingness to pay for certified products, it is not clear in what way and to what extent price increases affect the market.
Detection Probability in a Molecular Communication via Diffusion System with Multiple Fully-absorbing Receivers

description: In this letter, we consider a 3D molecular communication via diffusion system (MCvDS) with a single point transmitter and multiple fully-absorbing spherical receivers whose centers are distributed as a Poisson point process (PPP) in the medium. We derive the probability that a transmitted molecule hits any of the receivers within time t. We consider both degradable and non-degradable molecules. We verify the analysis using particle-based simulation. The framework can be used for various applications, e.g., to derive event detection probability for systems where the IMs are transmitted to convey the occurrence of a particular event to trigger reactions at receivers or can be used as channel models for such systems.

description: Red-blue pebble games model the computation cost of a two-level memory hierarchy. We present various hardness results in different red-blue pebbling variants, with a focus on the oneshot model. We first study the relationship between previously introduced red-blue pebble models (base, oneshot, nodel). We also analyze a new variant (compcost) to obtain a more realistic model of computation. We then prove that red-blue pebbling is NP-hard in all of these model variants. Furthermore, we show that in the oneshot model, a $δ$-approximation algorithm for $δ<2$ is only possible if the unique games conjecture is false. Finally, we show that greedy algorithms are not good candidates for approximation, since they can return significantly worse solutions than the optimum.

leading to the highest stage pressure ratio and meanwhile maintaining
high stage efficiency. There are two problems to be cosidered, the first one is a
subsonic axial flow compressor with maximum relative inlet Mach number 0.75,
and the other one is supersonic axial flow compressor with maximum relative inlet
Mach number 1.35. We are going to use the optimization method to handle the
design of these two axial flow compressors using a built-in function in MATLAB
software called fmincon which is a gradient-based method, used to find a minimum
of constrained non-linear multivariable function.

description: A investigação na área da Educação realça como o livro de literatura para a infância pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento e aprendizagem das crianças. No âmbito da Educação Pré-escolar, esta realidade sugere a necessidade de avaliar a perceção dos educadores sobre o livro de literatura para a infância. O presente artigo apresenta o processo de construção e validação de um Questionário de Conhecimento sobre a Literatura para a Infância (QCLI), pretendendo assim contribuir com uma resposta a essa necessidade. Participaram no estudo 270 educadores de infância em Portugal continental, dos quais 99% dos inquiridos são do sexo feminino com uma média de idades de 43 anos. As respostas ao questionário, após diversos procedimentos de validação, conduziram pela análise fatorial confirmatória composta a três dimensões: uma primeira sobre a perceção dos educadores sobre a competência pessoal no uso do livro de literatura para a infância, uma segunda sobre a perceção dos educadores acerca da potencialidade do livro de literatura para a infância na área da expressão e comunicação, e uma terceira dimensão sobre a perceção dos educadores acerca da potencialidade do livro de literatura para a infância na área da formação pessoal e social e conhecimento do mundo. As três dimensões apresentam um bom índice de consistência interna (respetivamente α=0,918, α=0,950 e α=0,953). O questionário revela-se útil e adequado para uso em futuras pesquisas que procurem aprofundar o conhecimento sobre as perceções dos educadores em relação ao potencial do livro de literatura para a infância.

description: We consider a multiphoton Bell-type inequality to study nonlocality in four-mode continuous variable systems, which goes beyond two-photon states and can be applied to mixed as well as states with fluctuating photon number. We apply the inequality to a wide variety of states such as pure and mixed Gaussian states (including squeezed thermal states) and non-Gaussian states. We consider beam splitters as a model for leakage and show that the inequality is able to detect nonclassicality of noisy Gaussian states as well. Finally, we investigate nonlocality in pair-coherent states and entangled coherent states, which are prominent examples of nonclassical, non-Gaussian states.

description: Nowadays the food market is very complex and anonymous. Consequently, consumer trust in food has become a key issue for food choice. For example, the production process of food is not always transparent for consumers. To provide more transparency and to enhance consumer trust, different initiatives communicating traceability to the consumers exist. Visualised traceability systems such as the initiative ‘Bio mit Gesicht’ allow consumers to gather information about the farmer who has produced the food as well as information about his farm and family. This study explores consumer trust in organic food, the impact of trust in the buying decision and the effectiveness of enhancing consumer trust by communication strategies on traceability. The research is grounded on the general finding that trust is one of the most crucial aspects when consumers decide whether or not to buy organic products. The study consists of two tasks, a quantitative and a qualitative survey. In this paper the focus is laid on the second task, a qualitative survey. The used method is the structure‐formation-technique. The aim is to combine an interview with a visualising technique. With the help of this method the factors which influence the decision of consumers to buy or not to buy organic food should become clear. Furthermore, the role of trust in the buying decision will be explored. Moreover, an investigation should be made as to whether or not traceability systems influence consumer trust in organic food. This research is currently being conducted but preliminary results can already be presented. The results of the study will help develop communication strategies for enhancing consumer trust in organic food.

description: Worldwide, extreme climate risks cause stakeholders in food supply chains to search for new risk management tools. In Australia, recently so‐called crop yield simulation insurance has been introduced based on an integrated agrometeorological simulation model. Current uptake is relatively low, possibly because Australian farmers perceive commodity price risk as more important than climate risk. Also, they perceive risk management tools such as water management and diversification as more important than buying crop insurance. Still, opportunities seem to exist for new insurance products, such as crop yield simulation insurance, as indicated by farmers’ interest into such products. Outcomes are useful in worldwide discussions on risk management opportunities in dryland agriculture.

description: This paper analyzes the relationship between Global Wine Industry Share Price Indexes and composite stock market indexes using a Threshold Vector Error Correction Model (TVECM), aiming to investigate if investments in the wine sector play a role in determining financial risk and return to investors who include it in their portfolio. Whilst in most of the literature analyses the return of investments of fine wine, this paper places the focus to “normal” (i.e. non‐fine) wine, using data from the Mediobanca database covering companies in the wine industry listed on regulated stock market in France, US, Australia, Chile and China . The dataset cover the time period going from January 1, 2001, to the end of February 2009. The estimates of the TVECM lead to the following results: i) in more mature markets, like France and the US, the presence of a threshold in the relationship between wine index and composite index permit informed investors to make gainful investments; ii) in less mature markets, like Chile and China, there is evidence suggest that wine is not used as a financial parachute.

description: The paper assesses the ability of French wineries to prevail over the crisis of French wine in the years 2000. Corporations are distinguished from co‐operatives: Over the 2000‐2006 period in spite of sales fluctuations, French wineries did not increase their financial debt level substantially. Such result supports the traditional static trade‐off theory (TOT). Co‐operatives were able to absorb part of the impact of the wine crisis at the expense of their members, in increasing account payables to member. Corporations have not increased trade account payables to vine growers. In the mid‐2000s, the French wine crisis has not been strong enough to shake the financial structure of cooperatives and corporations. But co‐operatives look more affected. However, sales of French wines dropped a lot more in 2009 and financial data are not yet available to observe the consequences.

description: Organizations no longer compete as independent entities, but as chains (Christopher 1998; Cox 1999; Lambert and Cooper 2000), and these organizations more and more realize the performance potential of chains (Pearson and Samali 2005; Gellynck, Vermeire and Viaene 2006). Being part of a well‐performing chain generates important performance benefits for the individual organization (Zhenxin, Hong and Edwin 2001). As a result, there is increasing interest in the performance of chains as a research subject (Beamon 1998). A vast group of authors (Neely, Mills, Platts, Gregory and Richards 1994; Neely, Gregory and Platts 1995; Beamon 1998; Christopher 1998; Beamon 1999; Li and O'Brien 1999; Van der Vorst 2000; Gunasekaran, Patel and Tirtiroglu 2001; Lambert and Pohlen 2001; Gunasekaran, Patel and McGaughey 2004; Van Der Vorst 2006) endorses the need to address the measurement of chain performance. Nonetheless, previous studies investigating chain performance have considered multiple individual chains, but rather compared groups of chain members. Some notable exceptions of such analysis are Spekman et al. (1998), Lu et al. (2006) or Clare et al. (2002). Second, with regard to measuring performance of chains active in the agri‐business sector or in the traditional food [2] sector in particular, (Aramyan 2007) notes a number of challenges. First, this type of firm does not typically gauge their performance in a standardized way that allows comparison (Collins, Henchion and Reilly 2001), implying the collection of secondary data from these firms are highly challenging. Further, chains belonging to different sectors may have different characteristics such as chain length, closeness of chain relationships and types of process links (Lambert and Cooper 2000) possibly influencing their performance. Consequently, chain performance measurement being carried out in other sectors might reveal differences as compared to performance measurement of traditional food chains. Therefore, traditional food as a potential focus of chain performance measurement cannot remain neglected.

description: A Biodiversidade e Cultura estão presentes em nosso cotidiano, contribuindo para o ensino e aprendizagem nos vários níveis educacionais, possibilitando contextualizar os conteúdos de ensino que fazem parte dos currículos nacionais e permitindo uma maior reflexão aos estudantes numa visão ampla em relação aos aspectos para a sua formação cidadã. Considerando que a escola deve proporcionar a mediação dos conhecimentos adquiridos para serem contextualizados pelos estudantes, é adequado que o professor tenha uma excelência em sua formação profissional, tanto no ensino superior quanto na formação continuada para contribuir com essa formação. Formar professores habilitados e engajados nas discussões sobre a Biodiversidade e Cultura, vem a ser uma das bases para a ampliação desta formação. Com essa visão, o objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar as concepções dos(as) discentes de um curso de formação de professores em Ciências Biológicas de uma universidade pública federal sobre seu modelo atual sobre a Biodiversidade e Cultura. Participaram da pesquisa 20 graduandos do Curso em Ciências Biológicas (licenciatura e bacharelado). Esse trabalho foi desenvolvido durante a disciplina Biodiversidade e Cultura (36h/aula). Como procedimento metodológico utilizamos a ação-intervenção pedagógica cujo objetivo foi verificar como os (as) discentes veem o modelo atual de Biodiversidade e Cultura. Para análise dos resultados, recorremos ao método de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontam diferentes modelos da Biodiversidade e Cultura antes da intervenção pedagógica e dois modelos depois desta intervenção demonstrada pelos estudantes, o que nos permite dizer que os sujeitos compreenderam a importância para uma visão mais ampla em relação a sua participação cidadã na sociedade.

description: We provide a description of the five-dimensional Higgs mechanism in supersymmetric gauge theories compactified on the orbifold S^1/Z_2 by means of the N=1 superfield formalism. Goldstone bosons absorbed by vector multiplets can come either from hypermultiplets or from gauge multiplets of opposite parity (Hosotani mechanism). Supersymmetry is broken by the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. In the presence of massive hypermultiplets and gauge multiplets, with different supersymmetric masses, the radion can be stabilized with positive (de Sitter) vacuum energy. The masses of vector and hypermultiplets can be fine-tuned to have zero (Minkowski) vacuum energy.

História administrativa: O Projeto "Memória Direito UFPB" tem como objetivo realizar o processamento técnico da documentação do curso de Direito da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Criado em 2018, já realizou o recolhimento de 1.400 documentos para o arquivo permamente, mantém cerca de 5.00 documentos em guarda corrente e intermediária e já encaminhou cerca de 20.000 para eliminação.
História arquivística: Durante a pandemia de COVID-19 a UFPB determinou a suspensão das atividades presenciais por meio da Portaria 90/2020 R/GR e as reuniões tem ocorrido por meio de plataformas digiutais. Considerando que a UFPB não dispõe de plataforma específica para realização e preservação de eventos desse tipo, o projeto realizou a reunião por meio de uma plataforma privada, de uso gratuito para reuniões de até 40 minutos. Em virtude da universidade não dispor de repositório digital arquivístico confiável nem sistema de gestão de documentos arquivísticos com possibilidade de inclusão desse tipo de item, o registro está sendo armazenado temporariamente no repositório Figshare.

Year: 2021

description: Neste artigo, pretendemos apresentar um conjunto de ideias resultantes de várias ligações que se podem estabelecer entre conceitos matemáticos e práticas teatrais, como uma metodologia de intervenção em educação social, a partir do trabalho desenvolvido por alunos da licenciatura em Educação Social da Escola Superior de Educação e Comunicação da Universidade do Algarve, no âmbito da unidade curricular optativa Oficina de Teatro na Alfabetização Matemática, integrando exemplos que conjugam conceitos matemáticos com práticas teatrais. A metodologia utilizada na recolha e análise dos dados assume uma natureza interpretativa, com recurso às produções dos alunos, individualmente e em grupo, no contexto das aulas e dos trabalhos realizados com vista à sua avaliação. Os dados apontam para uma redescoberta, por parte dos futuros educadores sociais, sempre numa perspetiva de intervenção social, de como abordar conceitos matemáticos através de práticas teatrais junto de um determinado segmento populacional. O reforço do conhecimento matemático e da transformação do mesmo através da prática teatral resultou em momentos de reflexão e partilha enriquecedora sobre de que forma a abordagem a conceitos matemáticos explorados através de práticas teatrais pode servir como metodologia de intervenção em contextos comunitários.

Year: 2021

description: Este texto apresenta resultados da pesquisa intitulada: Letramento digital de trabalhadores da coleta de resíduos de Campo Grande/MS - Brasil: inclusão tecnológica e social. O enfoque é o letramento digital na inclusão de pessoas vulneráveis a partir da utilização de tecnologias digitais, no contexto da coleta de resíduos de duas instituições – Coopernova: sólidos em geral, e Recic.LE: sólidos e eletroeletrônicos –, da cidade de Campo Grande. O objetivo é analisar tal inclusão social no sentido do letramento digital, num paradigma crítico, e pela natureza da pesquisa de cunho histórico-social produzir mudanças no meio em questão, reduzindo as dificuldades dessas pessoas no contexto de suas atividades laborais. Os procedimentos de pesquisa abrangeram aplicação de questionário sob assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido – TCLE, e levantamento bibliográfico em bases de dados como Scielo e Google Acadêmico. As análises dos resultados mostraram que trabalhadoras da coleta de resíduos e da reciclagem carecem de formação em serviço e letramento digital, para que possam atuar com salubridade e ter seus direitos humanos e de cidadania garantidos em suas atividades laborais.

description: Transfer entropy measures the strength and direction of information flow between different time series. We study the information flow networks of the Chinese stock market and identify important sectors and information flow paths. This paper uses the daily closing price data of the 28 level-1 sectors from Shenyin \& Wanguo Securities ranging from 2000 to 2017 to study the information transmission between different sectors. We construct information flow networks with the sectors as the nodes and the transfer entropy between them as the corresponding edges. Then we adopt the maximum spanning arborescence (MSA) to extracting important information flows and the hierarchical structure of the networks. We find that, during the whole sample period, the \textit{composite} sector is an information source of the whole stock market, while the \textit{non-bank financial} sector is the information sink. We also find that the \textit{non-bank finance}, \textit{bank}, \textit{computer}, \textit{media}, \textit{real estate}, \textit{medical biology} and \textit{non-ferrous metals} sectors appear as high-degree root nodes in the outgoing and incoming information flow MSAs. Especially, the \textit{non-bank finance} and \textit{bank} sectors have significantly high degrees after 2008 in the outgoing information flow networks. We uncover how stock market turmoils affect the structure of the MSAs. Finally, we reveal the specificity of information source and sink sectors and make a conclusion that the root node sector as the information sink of the incoming information flow networks. Overall, our analyses show that the structure of information flow networks changes with time and the market exhibits a sector rotation phenomenon. Our work has important implications for market participants and policy makers in managing market risks and controlling the contagion of risks.

description: We report the continuum limits of the speed of sound, c_s, and the specific heat at constant volume, c_v, in quenched QCD at temperatures of 2Tc and 3Tc. At these temperatures, c_s is within 2-sigma of the ideal gas value, whereas c_v differs significantly from the ideal gas. However, both are compatible with results expected in a theory with conformal symmetry. We investigate effective measures of conformal symmetry in the high temperature phase of QCD.
