title: Exploring 'marginalised' girls' agency and their perspectives of schooling and VET: a study of girls in Zimbabwe
Creators: name: Doka, Jane S.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2024

description: There have been concerted efforts on a global scale to improve the lives of girls through education, particularly girls characterised as ‘marginalised’. Underpinned mostly by a human capital framework, these efforts often present education as something readily available to girls and something they should value because of the potential future benefits to them. Seldom are these global views tested from the standpoint of the girls themselves, who have transitioned through formal schooling and vocational education training (VET) within their local contexts. This study argues that there are complexities involved in these girls’ lives and their education experiences and their own agency should be highlighted as a crucial component in their lives being empowered through education. 

Conducted remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic, this qualitative study employs a narrative research design, encompassing semi-structured interviews and a participant-led photography activity to draw from the lived experiences and voices of six ‘marginalised’ girls from Zimbabwe. Data was analysed using thematic analysis to examine the girls’ perspectives on the role of education in their context, how they re-engage with education when they have been out of school, and how they exercise their agency in education. The Capability Approach (CA) by Amartya Sen and others was employed in this study’s analysis to explore how the girls navigate the complexities in their context and exercise their agency to gain the freedoms they need to lead the kind of life they value.

The findings in this study indicate that girls’ lives and education experiences are complex. Their perspectives about education and its value in their lives are fluid, often shifting according to the stage they are in life. The girls’ agency is interwoven with societal values and realities which interact with enabling and constraining factors at various points and conflate their choices and motivations regarding education. Furthermore, the findings show that these girls exercise agency in different ways that are often not recognised in the extant literature on girls’ education.

description: We associate intrinsic energy equal to $hν/2$ with the spin angular momentum of photon and propose a topological model based on orbifold in space and tifold in time as topological obstructions. The model is substantiated using vector wavefield disclinations. The physical photon is suggested to be a particle like topological photon and a propagating wave such that the energy $hν$ of photon is equally divided between spin energy and translational energy corresponding to linear momentum of $hν/c$. The enigma of wave-particle duality finds natural resolution and the proposed model gives new insights into the phenomena of interference and emission of radiation.

description: "Cut-out sets" are fractals that can be obtained by removing a sequence of disjoint regions from an initial region of d-dimensional euclidean space. Conversely, a description of some fractals in terms of their void complementary set is possible. The essential property of a sequence of fractal voids is that their sizes decrease as a power law, that is, they follow Zipf's law. We prove the relation between the box dimension of the fractal set (in d <= 3) and the exponent of the Zipf law for convex voids; namely, if the Zipf law exponent e is such that 1 < e < d/(d-1) and, in addition, we forbid the appearance of degenerate void shapes, we prove that the corresponding cut-out set has box dimension d/e (d-1 < d/e < d). We explore the application of this result to the large scale distribution of matter in cosmology, in connection with ``cosmic foam'' models.

description: At least 25% of white dwarfs show atmospheric pollution by metals, sometimes accompanied by detectable circumstellar dust/gas discs or (in the case of WD 1145+017) transiting disintegrating asteroids. Delivery of planetesimals to the white dwarf by orbiting planets is a leading candidate to explain these phenomena. Here, we study systems of planets and planetesimals undergoing planet-planet scattering triggered by the star's post-main sequence mass loss, and test whether this can maintain high rates of delivery over the several Gyr that they are observed. We find that low-mass planets (Earth to Neptune mass) are efficient deliverers of material and can maintain the delivery for Gyr. Unstable low-mass planetary systems reproduce the observed delayed onset of significant accretion, as well as the slow decay in accretion rates at late times. Higher-mass planets are less efficient, and the delivery only lasts a relatively brief time before the planetesimal populations are cleared. The orbital inclinations of bodies as they cross the white dwarf's Roche limit are roughly isotropic, implying that significant collisional interactions of asteroids, debris streams and discs can be expected. If planet-planet scattering is indeed responsible for the pollution of white dwarfs, many such objects, and their main-sequence progenitors, can be expected to host (currently undetectable) super-Earth planets on orbits of several au and beyond.

description: With GPUs and other kinds of accelerators becoming ever more accessible, High Performance Computing Centres all around the world using them ever more, ATLAS has to find the best way of making use of such accelerators in much of its computing. Tests with GPUs -- mainly with CUDA -- have been performed in the past in the experiment. At that time the conclusion was that it was not advantageous for the ATLAS offline and trigger software to invest time and money into GPUs. However as the usage of accelerators has become cheaper and simpler in recent years, their re-evaluation in ATLAS's offline software is warranted. We will show code designs and performance results of using OpenCL, OpenACC and CUDA to perform calculations using the ATLAS offline/analysis (xAOD) Event Data Model. We compare the performance and flexibility of these different offload methods, and show how different memory management setups affect our ability to offload different types of calculations to a GPU efficiently. So that an overall throughout increase could be achieved even without highly optimising our reconstruction code specifically for GPUs.

description: We propose a new approach to understand the origin of the pseudogap in the cuprates, in terms of bosonic entropy. The near-simultaneous softening of a large number of different $q$-bosons yields an extended range of short-range order, wherein the growth of magnetic correlations with decreasing temperature $T$ is anomalously slow. These entropic effects cause the spectral weight associated with the Van Hove singularity (VHS) to shift rapidly and nearly linearly toward half filling at higher $T$, consistent with a picture of the VHS driving the pseudogap transition at a temperature $\sim T^*$. As a byproduct, we develop an order-parameter classification scheme that predicts supertransitions between families of order parameters. As one example, we find that by tuning the hopping parameters, it is possible to drive the cuprates across a {\it transition between Mott and Slater physics}, where a spin-frustrated state emerges at the crossover.

description: The importance of understanding the extent of areas threatened by post-wildfire debris flows cannot be overstated, as illustrated by the post-Thomas Fire flows through Montecito, California, in January 2018. Methods and models developed by the U.S. Geological Survey to identify burned basins at risk of producing post-wildfire debris flows are well established, effective and commonly used. In contrast, there is no similarly established methodology for delineating debris-flow hazard zones downstream of basins prone to producing post-fire debris flows. Understanding potential inundation zones is critical for protecting human life, property and infrastructure. Recently, some communities and local government agencies have begun assessing potential risks from post-wildfire hazards before an area burns (pre-fire hazard assessments). These assessments utilize modeled burn severity maps and existing methodologies to identify basins likely to generate post-fire debris flows should the basins burn. In most studies, however, there have been no attempts to delineate hazard zones downstream of the basins that could produce post-fire debris flows. This information is critical for identifying mitigation opportunities and for establishing emergency evacuation routes and procedures. Here, we report on work using a newly developed process-based model and an empirical model, Laharz using two different sets of mobility coefficients, to assess debris-flow runout from a recently burned basin. The actual extent of debris-flow runout is known, which allows us to compare model performance. Laharz is efficient for assessing large areas but requires the user to select the location of deposition a priori, and mobility coefficients for post-fire debris flows have not yet been developed. Laharz did not adequately predict the downstream extent of deposition using either set of mobility coefficients. The process-based model using two sets of parameters, friction angle, φ, and ratio of pore fluid pressure to total basal normal stress, λ, provided a range of results. The simulation using parameters = 0.8 and φ = 0.35 provided the best match between mapped and modeled deposits and provided a better estimate of inundation relative to Laharz. This two-model approach is helpful for assessing the shortcomings and benefits of each model, and for identifying the next steps needed for developing a method to identify post-fire debris-flow hazard zones before a fire begins.

We restrict ourselves to single-tensor, scalar-tensor and vector-tensor diffeomorphism-invariant gravity models in a Schwarzschild black hole background. We show explicitly the full covariant form of the quadratic actions in such cases, which allow us to then analyse odd parity (axial) and even parity (polar) perturbations simultaneously in a straightforward manner.

The second Whitham type integrable system corresponds to the low energy scattering of branes similar to the scattering of the magnetic monopoles.

description: We propose a novel method to constrain turbulence and bulk motions in massive galaxies, groups and clusters, exploring both simulations and observations. As emerged in the recent picture of the top-down multiphase condensation, the hot gaseous halos are tightly linked to all other phases in terms of cospatiality and thermodynamics. While hot halos (10^7 K) are perturbed by subsonic turbulence, warm (10^4 K) ionized and neutral filaments condense out of the turbulent eddies. The peaks condense into cold molecular clouds (< 100 K) raining in the core via chaotic cold accretion (CCA). We show all phases are tightly linked via the ensemble (wide-aperture) velocity dispersion along the line of sight. The correlation arises in complementary long-term AGN feedback simulations and high-resolution CCA runs, and is corroborated by the combined Hitomi and new IFU measurements in Perseus cluster. The ensemble multiphase gas distributions are characterized by substantial spectral line broadening (100-200 km/s) with mild line shift. On the other hand, pencil-beam detections sample the small-scale clouds displaying smaller broadening and significant line shift up to several 100 km/s, with increased scatter due to the turbulence intermittency. We present new ensemble sigma_v of the warm Halpha+[NII] gas in 72 observed cluster/group cores: the constraints are consistent with the simulations and can be used as robust proxies for the turbulent velocities, in particular for the challenging hot plasma (otherwise requiring extremely long X-ray exposures). We show the physically motivated criterion C = t_cool/t_eddy ~ 1 best traces the condensation extent region and presence of multiphase gas in observed clusters/groups. The ensemble method can be applied to many available datasets and can substantially advance our understanding of multiphase halos in light of the next-generation multiwavelength missions.

description: The Tokyo regional analysis center at the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics, the University of Tokyo, is one of the Tier 2 sites for the ATLAS experiment in the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG). The current system provides 7,680 CPU cores and 10.56 PB disk storage for WLCG. CERN plans the high-luminosity LHC starting from 2026, which increases the peak luminosity to 5 times compared to the present value in LHC. For the high-luminosity LHC, a requirement of computing resources for each site will be increased. To expand the ATLAS production system at the Tokyo regional analysis center, R&D using external resources has been launched. One kind of external resources is a commercial cloud resource, such as Google Cloud Platform and Amazon AWS. Another resource is the High-Performance Computer (HPC) at the University of Tokyo. In this presentation, the current status of the R&D, the systems for these resources and comparisons of the cost will be reported.

description: A quantum system exhibiting $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential with balanced particle gain and loss, which is described in the mean-field limit by a Gross-Pitaevskii equation with a complex potential. A possible experimental realization of such a system by embedding it into a Hermitian time-dependent four-mode optical lattice was proposed by Kreibich et al. [Phys. Rev. A 87, 051601(R) (2013)], where additional potential wells act as reservoirs and particle exchange happens via tunneling. Since particle influx and outflux have to be controlled explicitly, a set of conditions on the potential parameters had to be derived. In contrast to previous work, our focus lies on a full many-body description beyond the mean-field approximation using a Bose-Hubbard model with time-dependent potentials. This gives rise to novel quantum effects, such that the differences between mean-field and many-body dynamics are of special interest. We further present stationary analytical solutions for the embedded wells in the mean-field limit, different approaches for the embedding into a many-body system, and a very efficient method for the evaluation of hopping terms to calculate exact Bose-Hubbard dynamics.

description: The temporal evolution of quantum statistical properties of an interacting atom-radiation field system in the presence of a classical homogeneous gravitational field is investigated within the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model. To analyse the dynamical evolution of the atom-radiation system a quantum treatment of the internal and external dynamics of the atom is presented based on an alternative su(2) dynamical algebraic structure. By solving the Schrödinger equation in the interaction picture, the evolving state of the system is found by which the influence of the gravitational field on the dynamical behavior of the atom-radiation system is explored. Assuming that initially the radiation field is prepared in a coherent state and the two-level atom is in a coherent superposition of the excited and ground states, the influence of gravity on the collapses and revivals of the atomic population inversion, atomic dipole squeezing, atomic momentum diffusion, photon counting statistics and quadrature squeezing of the radiation field is studied.

description: The development of the Interactive Visual Explorer (InVEx), a visual analytics tool for ATLAS computing metadata, includes research of various approaches for data handling both on server and on client sides. InVEx is implemented as a web-based application which aims at the enhancing of analytical and visualization capabilities of the existing monitoring tools, and facilitate the process of data analysis with the interactivity and human supervision. The development of InVEx started with the implementation of a 3-dimensional interactive tool for cluster analysis (for the k-means and DBSCAN algorithms), and its further evolvement is closely linked to the needs of ATLAS computing experts, providing metadata analysis to ensure the stability and efficiency of the distributed computing environment functionality. In the process of the integration of InVEx with ATLAS computing metadata sources we faced two main challenges: 1) big data volumes needed to be analyzed in the real time mode (as an example, one ATLAS computing task may contain tens of thousands jobs, each having over two hundred of different parameters), and 2) machine learning clustering algorithms alone are not sufficient for visual cluster analysis - the ability of user-defined clusterization/grouping (by nominal or ordinal parameters) should be added, to make the process of data analysis more manageable. The current work is focused on the architecture enhancements of the InVEx application. First, we will describe the user-manageable data preparation method for cluster analysis. Then, we will present the Level-of-Detail method for the interactive visual data analysis. Beginning with the low detalization, when all data are grouped (by clusterization algorithms or by parameters) and aggregated, we provide users with means to look deeply into this data, incrementally increasing the level of detalization. And finally, the development of data storage format for InVEx is adapted for the Level-of-Detail method to keep all stages of data derivation sequence.

description: The dust in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), an ideal analog of primordial galaxies at high redshifts, differs markedly from that in the Milky Way by exhibiting a steeply rising far-ultraviolet extinction curve, an absence of the 2175 Angstrom extinction feature, and a local minimum at ~12 micron in its infrared emission spectrum, suggesting the lack of ultrasmall carbonaceous grains (i.e. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules) which are ubiquitously seen in the Milky Way. While current models for the SMC dust all rely heavily on silicates, recent observations of the SMC sightline toward Sk 155 indicated that Si and Mg are essentially undepleted and the depletions of Fe range from mild to severe, suggesting that metallic grains and/or iron oxides, instead of silicates, may dominate the SMC dust. However, in this Letter we apply the Kramers-Kronig relation to demonstrate that neither metallic grains nor iron oxides are capable of accounting for the observed extinction; silicates remain as an important contributor to the extinction, consistent with current models for the SMC dust.

We focus our attention on monopole clusters as they can be identified unambiguously contrary to monopole loops. We locate the clusters and determine their properties near the U(1) phase transition. The Coulomb phase is characterized by several small clusters, whereas in the confined phase the small clusters coalesce to one large cluster filling up the whole system. We find that clusters winding around the periodic lattice are absent within both phases and during the transition. However, within the confined phase, we observe periodically closed monopole loops if cooling is applied.

This is achieved by evaluating the integral representation in the weak coupling region, and by using analytic continuation to the conformal point. The explicit representation is shown for the SU(2) theory with matter fields and also for pure SU(N) and pure SO(2N) theory around the conformal point where the relation to the beta function of the theory is clarified. We also discuss a relation between the fixed points in the SU(2) theories with matter fields and the Landau-Ginzburg point of 2-D N=2 SCFT.

description: In various dimensions, we can sometimes compute observables of interacting conformal field theories (CFTs) that are connected to free theories via the renormalization group (RG) flow by computing protected quantities in the free theories. On the other hand, in two dimensions, it is often possible to algebraically construct observables of interacting CFTs using free fields without the need to explicitly construct an underlying RG flow. In this note, we begin to extend this idea to higher dimensions by showing that one can compute certain observables of an infinite set of unitary strongly interacting four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) by performing simple calculations involving sets of non-unitary free four-dimensional hypermultiplets. These free fields are distant cousins of the Majorana fermion underlying the two-dimensional Ising model and are not obviously connected to our interacting theories via an RG flow. Rather surprisingly, this construction gives us Lagrangians for particular observables in certain subsectors of many "non-Lagrangian" SCFTs by sacrificing unitarity while preserving the full $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal algebra. As a byproduct, we find relations between characters in unitary and non-unitary affine Kac-Moody algebras. We conclude by commenting on possible generalizations of our construction.

We study dynamical behavior of thin plates with respect to symmetric and asymmetric orthotropic friction. Terminal motion of plates with circular and elliptic contact areas is mainly analyzed. Evaluation of friction forces for both symmetric and asymmetric orthotropic cases are shown. Regular pressure distribution is considered. Differential equations are formulated and solved numerically for a number of initial conditions. Examples show significant influence of friction force asymmetry on the motion.

description: We study the morphology and star formation properties of 159 local luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) using multi-color images from Data Release 2 (DR2) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The LIRGs are selected from a cross-correlation analysis between the IRAS survey and SDSS. They are all brighter than 15.9 mag in the r-band and below redshift ~ 0.1, and so can be reliably classified morphologically. We find that the fractions of interacting/merging and spiral galaxies are ~ 48% and ~ 40% respectively. Our results complement and confirm the decline (increase) in the fraction of spiral (interacting/merging) galaxies from z ~1 to z ~ 0.1, as found by Melbourne, Koo & Le Floc'h (2005). About 75% of spiral galaxies in the local LIRGs are barred, indicating that bars may play an important role in triggering star formation rates > 20 M_{sun}/yr in the local universe. Compared with high redshift LIRGs, local LIRGs have lower specific star formation rates, smaller cold gas fractions and a narrower range of stellar masses. Local LIRGs appear to be either merging galaxies forming intermediate mass ellipticals or spiral galaxies undergoing high star formation activities regulated by bars.

description: We have found the atomic gas (HI) reservoirs of the blue ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) candidates identified by Róman and Trujillo in images near Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs). We confirm that all of the objects are indeed UDGs with effective radii R_e > 1.5 kpc. Three of them are likely to be gravitationally bound to the HCG near which they project, one is plausibly gravitationally bound to the nearest HCG, and one is in the background. We measure HI masses and velocity widths for each object directly from the spectra, and use the widths together with the UDG effective radii to estimate dynamical masses and halo spin parameters. The location of the blue UDGs in the HI mass - stellar mass plane is consistent with that of the broader gas-rich galaxy population, and both their HI masses and gas richnesses are correlated with their effective radii. The blue UDGs appear to be low-mass objects with high-spin halos, although their properties are not as extreme as those of the faintest diffuse objects found in HI searches. The data presented here highlight the potential of single-dish radio observations for measuring the physical properties of blue diffuse objects detected in the optical.

description: I give a review and progress report on studies of lattice QED. I emphasize analytical results and methods that are applied in data analysis. Also, I derive some bounds for the critical exponents and establish their connection with scaling violations. Triviality, as realized in $ϕ^4$ theory, is ruled out on theoretical grounds. I show that the present data, if analyzed correctly, all lead to the same conclusions. They are compatible with power law scaling with nongaussian exponents.

description: Intrapixel nonuniformity is known to exist in CCD and CMOS image sensors, though the effects in backside illuminated (BSI) CCDs are too small to be a concern for most astronomical observations. However, projects like the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope require precise knowledge of the detector characteristics, and intrapixel effects may need more attention. By scanning CCD and CMOS cameras with a small light spot (unresolved by the optics), we find in the images that the spot's flux, centroid displacement, and ellipticity vary periodically on the pixel scale in most cases. The amplitude of variation depends on not only the detector but also how well the spot is sampled by the pixels. With a spot radius of 2 pixels (encircling 80% energy) as measured, the flux and the ellipticity extracted from the BSI CCD camera vary by 0.2-0.3% (rms) and 0.005 (rms), respectively, while the deviation of the centroid position (rms ~ 0.01 pixel) is not correlated with the pixels. The effects are more pronounced for the BSI CMOS camera and even worse for the frontside illuminated CMOS camera. The results suggest that a closer examination of the intrapixel effects is needed for precision astronomy.

description: In the framework of the four dimensional heterotic superstring with free fermions we discuss the rank eight and/or sixteen Grand Unified String Theories (GUST) which contain the SU(3)_H - gauge family symmetry. We explicitly investigate the paths of the unification in the GUST with gauge symmetry G x G = [SU(5) x U(1) x (SU(3) x U(1))_H]^2. We show that the GUSTs with the G x G gauge group allow to make the scale of unification to be consistent with the string scale M_SU = g_{string} * 5 * 10^17 GeV.

Effects of ethephon on apomixis in Kentucky bluegrass
Creators: name: Daddio, Ryan M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Apomixis is asexual reproduction via seed. This mode of reproduction can be exploited when an improved genotype is identified, as it can be fixed and reproduced clonally. The problem becomes identifying these novel, improved genotypes. Temporarily disabling apomixis would be an ideal approach to breeding by providing a higher proportion of hybrids to select improved genotypes from. Kentucky bluegrass is a facultative apomict which has led to difficulty in producing improved novel germplasm while retaining a high level of apomictic reproduction, a desired trait in modern cultivars. Through review of literature, it has been hypothesized that ethylene may play a role in the initiation and development of the asexual, apomictic, embryo. To test this hypothesis, ‘Rockstar’ Kentucky bluegrass clones were pollinized by ‘Avalanche’ Kentucky bluegrass following a series of treatments with ethephon in a growth chamber. Four timing levels (Early, pre-culm emergence from the boot; Medium, post-culm emergence from the boot; Late, elongation from the boot; and All timings, all three applications timings in series) and two treatment levels (water control and 1000 ppm ethephon) were tested among three replications for a total of 24 experimental units. A sample of 48 progeny from each experimental unit were subjected to analysis with 10 SSR markers to evaluate the effect of ethephon on reproductive outcomes. No significant difference in the proportion of hybrids was detected as a result of the applications tested.

description: Since DSM-5 and the shift in paradigm away from medically explaining somatic symptoms, the current category of Somatic Symptom Disorders now puts psychological criteria in the diagnostic focus. However, both the wording in the diagnostic criteria for somatic symptom disorder (DSM-5) and bodily distress disorder (ICD-11) remain vague. Potential psychological criteria for these disorders have been proposed, yet no systematic overview on their empirical evidence exists. We therefore aimed to conduct a systematic review of all literature providing evidence for psychological factors attributed specifically to Somatic symptom Disorder of the DSM-5 and Bodily Distress Disorder of the ICD-11. We will evaluate these factors in the context of disorder-relevant outcomes pertaining to severity, quality of life and health status or in comparison to a relevant control group, in order to assess their empirical relevance and diagnostic value.

description: We study quintessential inflation with an inverse hyperbolic type potential $V(ϕ) = {V_0}/{\cosh \left( {ϕ^n}/{λ^n} \right)}$, where $V_0$, $λ$ and "n" are parameters of the theory. We obtain a bound on $λ$ for different values of the parameter n. The spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar-ratio fall in the $1 σ$ bound given by the Planck 2015 data for $n \geq 5$ for certain values of $λ$. However for $3 \leq n < 5$ there exist values of $λ$ for which the spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar-ratio fall only within the $2 σ$ bound of the Planck data. Furthermore, we show that the scalar field with the given potential can also give rise to late time acceleration if we invoke the coupling to massive neutrino matter. We also consider the instant preheating mechanism with Yukawa interaction and put bounds on the coupling constants for our model using the nucleosynthesis constraint on relic gravity waves produced during inflation.

description: The perturbative approach to stochastic inflation is used to determine the spectrum of density fluctuations and gravitational waves due to the coarse grained field. The amplitude of the curvature fluctuation spectrum, the spectral index and the running of the spectral index are in general found to be smaller than in the standard approach to inflation. Furthermore, the amount of non-gaussianity due to the second order perturbation is estimated.
