Community colleges

description: Current research offers only a limited picture of whether enrollment in remediation and the reaching of particular enrollment milestones have different effects on the graduation rates of older and traditional-age students. CCRC Brief No. 32 reports on a new study that begins to fill this research gap. Using longitudinal unit record transcript data on a cohort of first-time community college students in Florida, the study sought to determine whether remedial pathways, such as enrolling in a developmental math course, and enrollment milestones, such as completing a certain number of credits or a certain portion of a given program, had the same impact on the conditional probability of graduating for older students as they did for younger students. The study presents a model for analyzing student enrollment patterns and milestones, findings based on the Florida student cohort, and implications for practice.

description: This article surveys the financial and economic planning for war before 1914 in the European Great Powers that initially entered the conflict – Austria-Hungary, Britain, France, Germany and Russia. It argues that while there was limited financial and economic preparation for war, this situation was not due entirely to the short-war assumption. It suggests that only in Britain before 1914 was there a more expansive conception of economic planning that embraced economic warfare. Finally it is noted that economic planning for war remains an area that is under-researched by scholars and that more work may alter our understanding.

description: The interest in Green Artificial Intelligence (AI) is growing as AI research is increasingly focusing on and taking into account environmental sustainability. This paper aims to clarify and emphasize the distinction between terms like sustainable AI, Green AI, Green by AI, and Green in AI, highlighting their importance in the context of environmentally responsible AI practices. We find that existing Green Software reference models are insufficient for meeting the unique requirements of Green AI. Thus, we argue that a tailored Green AI reference model is needed to guide and promote environmentally responsible practices in the field of AI, addressing the special considerations associated with Green AI.

description: The author believes that one of the greatest resistances to the advancement of his conception of a new branch called ‘Fear’ Studies (Fisher, 2006) is the problem of reductionism in people’s imaginary and thinking. It is not just a resistance they have to seeing fear is social, but that they seem to fear that it is the case. In this paper the author summarizes a brief history of his work in moving fear from the reductionistic, positivistic, individualistic, materialistic philosophies and paradigms that have largely prevented a qualitative shift in how we see what Fear is about—that is, that Fear is Social. He discusses some of the social implications of this needed shift and the resistances to it that keep feeding the global Fear Problem. He links the issue of “social pathologies” with fear.

Watchdog or Lapdog: Limits of African Media Coverage of the Extractive Sector

Subjects: Journalism

description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of African media coverage of the extractive industries. This sector plays prominently on the African political, economic, social and journalistic landscape, yet coverage of these industries remains a challenge for African journalists. The financial and technical aspects of the extractive sector are complex, and both governments and companies often have a vested interest in withholding information from journalists. Many reporters lack sufficient training, resources and/or journalistic freedom to publish accurate, well‐researched, in‐depth coverage. As a result, what are arguably some of the most critical industries on the continent operate in relative freedom from public scrutiny. By making a careful study of African media coverage of the extractive sector in three countries, this report hopes to identify key strengths and weaknesses in extractive industry reporting as well as opportunities for media support and the expansion or revision of current media training efforts. The discovery of oil in Uganda in 2006 and in Ghana in 2007 brought both a great deal of excitement and a considerable level of worry to these countries. While extractive resources (oil, gas and mining) are a leading source of wealth for many African countries, this wealth often leads to corruption and conflict. In fact, countries with abundant natural resources tend to fall below less resource‐wealthy countries in terms of human development, a paradox economist Richard Auty and subsequent researchers have labeled the "resource curse." This report is based on two premises: first, that if Africans are to benefit from the immense resource stores that lie beneath their soil, great efforts must be made toward transparency in how these resources are handled. Second, the call for transparency cannot come from non‐governmental organizations and individual political leaders alone. The African media have a critical responsibility to push toward government and corporate openness in the extractive industries. African media have made great strides since the latter half of the twentieth century, but they continue to struggle to fulfill their role as society's watchdog. Instead of keeping governments in check through enterprising stories or investigative pieces, most African media have instead been leashed by a confluence of factors. Lack of resources, government intimidation and interference, media ownership, revenue structures and declining educational quality all make the job of the African journalist difficult. To mitigate some of these constraints, local and international non‐governmental organizations (NGOs), media outlets and in some cases government agencies are training journalists to more fully understand the intricacies of the areas that they cover.

I do not have stigma towards people with ADHD (but I do think they’re lazy): Using education and experience to reduce negative attitudes towards ADHD
Creators: name: Flanigan, Laura K.
Publisher: name: Werklund School of Education
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Educational Psychology

description: The current project examined the explicit, implicit, and social distance attitudes towards people with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the effect of education- or contact-based anti-stigma video on attitudes towards ADHD. In Study 1, 294 undergraduate students completed measures of explicit, implicit, and social distance attitudes towards ADHD. Results indicated significantly more negative explicit, implicit, and social distance attitudes towards people with ADHD compared to a comparison target of Asthma, and complex relationships between these variables. In Study 2, 299 undergraduate students were randomly assigned to watch a control, education, or contact video with a male or female actor with lived experience of ADHD. They then completed the same measures as in Study 1. Results indicated that negative explicit attitudes towards people with ADHD relative to Asthma were significantly lower after the education, and not contact, video. The intervention did not significantly affect the responses on the implicit or social distance measures. Additionally, only the male, and not the female, education video resulted in lower explicit scores. The results of the current project suggest that while there are negative attitudes towards people with ADHD, they can be improved with a short, video-based intervention. This project has significant implications for university students and their education about and treatment of people with ADHD. It also has significant implications for the development and utilization of anti-stigma interventions not only towards people with ADHD, but for mental illness as a whole.

description: This survey offers a comprehensive analysis of challenges encountered when employing large-scale datasets for deep learning-based semantic segmentation, an area with significant implica- tions for industries such as autonomous driving, precision agriculture, and medical imaging. Through a systematic review of 94 papers from Papers with Code, we identified 32 substantial challenges, which we categorized into six key areas: Data Quality and Quantity, Data Preprocessing, Resource Constraints, Data Management and Privacy, Generalization, and Data Compatibility. By identifying and explicating these challenges, our research provides a crucial reference point for future studies aiming to address these issues and enhance the performance of deep learning models for semantic segmentation. Future work will focus on leveraging AI and semantic technologies to provide solutions to these challenges.

Den- noch fehlt derzeit die historische Perspektive auf die Aufschichtungstendenzen von Technologien in den Sektoren, die für die Gesellschaft essenzielle Dienste bereitstellen. Ein besseres Verständnis von Ausbreitungs-, Ausbau-, Ersatz- und Ausmusterungsprozessen kann Entscheidungshilfe und Orientierung für resilientere Versorgungsnetzarchitekturen in der Zukunft geben. Kompatibilitäts- probleme mit Legacy-Soft- und Hardware sind bekannte Phänomene in vielen KRITIS-Einrichtun- gen. Entsprechend gewinnen Wissens- und Erfahrungstransfers bei zunehmend komplexen, dennoch über Jahrzehnte verwendete Technologien in landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben enorm an Bedeutung. Der Beitrag vollzieht die Konzeption und Fragestellungen eines interdisziplinären Forschungspro- jekts nach, in welchem die Verwundbarkeit der kritischen Infrastruktursektoren Verkehr und Kom- munikation im Rhein-Main-Gebiet analysiert wird. Von den Leistungen beider Sektoren hängt die digitale Landwirtschaft stark ab. Insbesondere rurale, beim digitalen und Schienennetzausbau häufig vernachlässigte Gebiete werden dabei mittels explorativer Interviewstudie und anschließender ar- chivbasierter, quantitativer Überprüfung der zuvor generierten Hypothesen aus einer raum-zeitli- chen und technischen Perspektive untersucht.

description: Chaotic features of systems of coupled Josephson junctions are studied. Manifestation of chaos in the temporal dependence of the electric charge, related to a parametric resonance, is demonstrated through the calculation of the maximal Lyapunov exponent, phase-charge and charge-charge Lissajous diagrams and correlation functions. The number of junctions in the stack strongly influences the fine structure in the current voltage characteristics and a strong proximity effect results from the nonperiodic boundary conditions. The observed resonance-related chaos exhibits intermittency over a range of conditions and parameters. General features of the system are analyzed by means of a linearized equation and the criteria for a breakpoint region with no chaos are obtained. Such criteria could clarify recent experimental observations of variations in the power output from intrinsic Josephson junctions in high temperature superconductors.

description: While substantial literature now exists on poverty and inequality by social groups in India, almost nothing has been known on how the latter have fared as entrepreneurs. Out paper provides a first comprehensive look at entrepreneurship among the socially disadvantaged groups in terms of the shares in the value added, workers employed and the number of enterprises owned in the partnership and proprietary enterprises in services sector. Consistent with the evidence on poverty, wage and education outcomes, the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) are behind other social groups in entrepreneurship but their presence is far from negligible. The SC account for approximately the same proportion of enterprises and worker employment as their share in the total population. Their share in the gross value added is, however, only half. The presence of ST is considerably below their share in the total population. But the share of other backward castes (OBC) in the gross value added is approximately equal to their share in the population. All groups have shared in growth though not to equal extent. In terms of gross value added, the ST enterprises have grown the fastest followed by the OBC, SC and the forward castes. The SC and ST entrepreneurs are concentrated disproportionately in smaller and lower productivity enterprises. The forward castes have been experiencing a decline in their share so that the greatest competition the SC and St enterprises face is from the OBC.

description: Usually the smart home imaginaries portray nuclear families living in detached houses with a focus on efficiency and energy. In this workshop, we follow the co-design approach to imagine alternative future homes beyond this stereotype. First, we brainstorm the concept of home addressing idiosyncratic needs and expectations. Second, we try three co-design tool adaptations in small groups which allow us to collaboratively imagine speculative futures. LittleBoxes is a cultural probe variation with which participants can configure a speculative future by using inspirational and technological materials. The Tiles IoT Inventor Toolkit adaptation helps to tell detailed stories of how to possibly live with technology in the future. With the IoT Service Kit adaption participants are able to build speculative home scenarios and playfully explore imaginary future technologies within them. There will be two rounds of co-designing, so every participant will explore two of the toolkits. In the last part, we reflect on the experiences as well as discuss if and how participants could imagine adapting the introduced tools beyond the workshop.

description: With the exception Brander and Drazen (2008), who use a comprehensive cross-country database consisting of both developed and developing countries, the hypothesis that rapid growth helps incumbents win elections has been tested exclusively for the developed countries (e.g., Ray Fair 1978). But since sustained rapid growth offers the prospect of pulling vast numbers of the voters out of poverty within a generation, such an effect is far more likely to be present in the developing rather than developed countries. In this paper, we offer the first test of the hypothesis on a large developing and poor country, India, which has seen its economy grow 8 to 9 percent recently. We first generalize the Fair model to allow for multiple candidates instead for just two and then test it using crossstate data. We find quantitatively large and statistically robust effect of growth on the prospects of the candidates of the state incumbent parties to win elections. Specifically, we use the data on 422 candidates in the 2009 parliamentary elections and show that the candidates of incumbent parties in high-growth states have much better prospects of victory than those in low-growth states.

description: The optimization problem of bidirectional electrical vehicle charging (Vehicle-to-Home) becomes more and more important with rising energy prices and the required reduction of 𝐶𝑂2 emissions. We maximize the usage of local solar power generation, while minimizing the power grid usage. This is constrained by the energy demand of the household and the required state of charge at departure as well as the idle times of the car at home. The problem is formulated as a Constrained Polynomial Binary Optimization (CPBO) problem, which is convenient for Grover Adaptive Search by representing the objective function and the constraints as a Quantum Dictionary.

description: The United Kingdom consistently has ranked among the biggest investor economies in terms of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). However, the recent financial and economic crisis has had a strong negative effect on OFDI from the United Kingdom. OFDI flows fell from their peak in 2007 (US$ 272 billion) to their lowest level of the decade in 2010 (US$ 40 billion). This sharp decline in OFDI flows was reversed in 2011, with flows recovering to around US$ 107 billion. The OFDI stock of the United Kingdom fell by 17% in 2008 compared with that in 2007. However, by 2011 the country’s OFDI stock had recovered some of the lost ground and was only 6% lower than at the peak of 2007. With regard to FDI policy, while the United Kingdom Government has long supported inward investment with general and specific measures, and systematically supported exporting, it has not either supported or discouraged outward FDI for at least 30 years. As United Kingdom OFDI is diversified both across industries and globally, it may be advisable in the current economic climate for the Government to increase its support to outward FDI in order for United Kingdom firms of all sizes to reap the benefits of overseas markets.

description: Data from invoices are key information for business processes. In order to use the data and create business value, the information must be captured in a digital and structured form. Leveraging digital tools and AI/ML is state-of-the-art in the extraction of information from invoices. However, the existing approaches are trained on specific languages and layouts, and while focusing on the performance of individual metrics, they neglect the demonstration of the pipeline from raw data to processable information. In this paper, we investigate the types of information on invoices and address the challenges in the extraction pipeline. We contribute by providing a morphological framework for the problematization and design of a pipeline as part of a design science study.
An experimental investigation of the mechanical behaviour of synthetic calcite-dolomite composites
Creators: name: Kushnir, Alexandra Roma Larisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The role of dolomite on the strength and evolution of calcite-dolomite fold and thrust belts is largely unknown. Field investigations indicate that, under upper- to mid-crustal conditions, strain in natural systems is localized in calcite, resulting in a ductile response, while dolomite deforms in a brittle manner. The effect of dolomite on limestone rheology, and the potential for strain localization in composites have not yet been fully quantified. I conducted 11 constant displacement rate (3x10⁻⁴ and 10⁻⁴ s⁻¹), high confining pressure (300 MPa), and high temperature (750°C and 800°C) torsion experiments to address the role of dolomite on the strength of calcite-dolomite composites. Starting materials were formed by hot isostatic pressing mixtures of dolomite and calcite powders (given as Dm%: Dm25, Dm35, Dm51, and Dm75) and were deformed up to a maximum shear strain of ~5. Mechanical data show a considerable increase in yield strength with increasing dolomite content. Microstructural analysis shows that dolomite grains <~50 μm are characterized by diffuse and poorly defined grain boundaries; in Dm25 and Dm35, high aspect ratio dolomite grains are aligned into a foliation. Dolomite grains >~50 μm are characterized by well-defined grain boundaries and cleavage-controlled fracture. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) shows no crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) development in dolomite, but optical microscopy confirms brittle deformation of dolomite grains by Mode I cracks, shear fractures, and subsequent grain size reduction. Calcite grains are internally strain-free, equiaxed to tabular in shape, and characterized by triple-junction grain boundaries. EBSD confirms a distinct CPO of calcite c-axes perpendicular to the direction of maximum stretching. The microstructure of calcite aggregates suggests grain boundary sliding, accommodated by diffusion and dislocation glide, which accommodates high shear strains without significant change in grains shape and size. Dolomite is essentially undeformed in run products with less than 35% dolomite; calcite accommodates most of the displacement in these experiments. In contrast, for dolomite contents greater than 51%, dolomite accommodates displacement by brittle processes. My experiments provide insights into the processes controlling rheology within bimodal calcite-dolomite systems, suggesting that a minimum dolomite-content exists (between 35% and 51%) above which dolomite significantly influences composite strength.

Fermi-LAT constraints on dark matter annihilation cross section from observations of the Fornax cluster

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We analyze 2.8-yr data of 1-100 GeV photons for clusters of galaxies, collected with the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi satellite. By analyzing 49 nearby massive clusters located at high Galactic latitudes, we find no excess gamma-ray emission towards directions of the galaxy clusters. Using flux upper limits, we show that the Fornax cluster provides the most stringent constraints on the dark matter annihilation cross section. Stacking a large sample of nearby clusters does not help improve the limit for most dark matter models. This suggests that a detailed modeling of the Fornax cluster is important for setting robust limits on the dark matter annihilation cross section based on clusters. We therefore perform the detailed mass modeling and predict the expected dark matter annihilation signals from the Fornax cluster, by taking into account effects of dark matter contraction and substructures. By modeling the mass distribution of baryons (stars and gas) around a central bright elliptical galaxy, NGC 1399, and using a modified contraction model motivated by numerical simulations, we show that the dark matter contraction boosts the annihilation signatures by a factor of 4. For dark matter masses around 10 GeV, the upper limit obtained on the annihilation cross section times relative velocity is

description: At the turn of the century, Argentina experienced a serious economic crisis, brought about by the forced abandonment of the monetary convertibility regime and characterized by sharp changes in relative prices and income, as well as by widespread breaches of contracts. This economic crisis proved to be different from previous crises, however, as Argentina managed to recover quickly and significantly. The recovery presents some exceptional features. At few times in Argentina's economic history has Argentina had such external and fiscal surpluses. More importantly, for the purposes of this study, Argentina's tax burden is far higher than ever before. Understanding these historic trends is necessary to our study of the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses and reforms of Argentina's tax system. The second section of this chapter, which serves as an introduction to this study, examines the central features of Argentina's fiscal situation from a historical viewpoint. Next, we present an explanation of the particular institutional characteristics of Argentina's federalism, which is necessary to the study of Argentina's tax system. Lastly, the next section places the Argentine tax system in context, introducing the principal features of taxation in Latin America. The main body of this chapter includes a detailed analysis of the evolution of Argentine tax level and structure, the key stylized characteristics of this structure, and the principal challenges that Argentina continues to face. Finally, readers who are interested in the specific details of the system will find a more exhaustive explanation of the technical characteristics of the tax system in the Appendix.

Subjects: American literature

description: Explorers on the North American continent have often sought to define their experiences by their interaction with the landscape. It is this interaction, D.H. Lawrence wrote in his exploration of the American “spirit of place,” that allowed European-Americans to begin to formulate a new identity that broke from a world they suddenly defined as "Old." At times, however, access to the landscape was complicated by the indigenous peoples who had lived on the continent for tens of thousands of years. While explorers of the eastern regions had acknowledged the presence of indigenous people within the continent, explorers of lands further west instead developed a narrative that increasingly described the places they encountered as empty. Lawrence observed that "no place exerts its full potential upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed"; in keeping with that belief, new Americans began a complex process of removing, relocating, and rendering invisible these native peoples in order to facilitate that feeling of discovery, newness, and ultimately, a complicated sense of place.

description: An early actor in cinema industry, Russia held a special position due to the strong foreign, notably French and German, influences. The First World War saw an unprecedented boom in national productions and distribution networks: cinema became integrated in the lives of Russian citizens. It was also during the war that a new objective of plausibility, or verisimilitude, developed beyond borrowing theatre techniques to becoming an art in itself. Wartime newsreels, documentaries and fiction not only shaped Soviet films about the Great War, but also how audiences received them.

description: NFDI4DataScience (NFDI4DS) is a consortium founded to support researchers in all stages of the research data lifecycle in order to conduct their research in line with the FAIR principles. The infrastructure developed targets researchers from a wide range of disciplines working in the field of data science and artificial intelligence. NFDI4DS contributes to systematically understanding the needs and challenges of researchers in various disciplines regarding data science and artificial intelligence, keeping in mind ethical, legal and social aspects. The identified needs will be addressed by support structures such as educational videos and challenges. Transparency, reproducibility and FAIRness will be improved by integrating existing and newly developed services into the NFDI4DS infrastructure, and by systematically adding all digital objects (articles, data, machine learning models, workflows, scripts/code, etc.) to the NFDI4DS research knowledge graph. This paper presents the goals of NFDI4DS, and gives an overview on what the consortium is going to contribute to the data science and artificial intelligence communities. It focuses on existing and newly developed services and their integration.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Computing
subject: PINN
subject: Graph Neural Network
subject: Predictive Simulation

description: Simulations are crucial for production monitoring and planning in manufacturing. Still, the performance of simulations based on mathematical modeling and machine learning methods is limited and opaque to widespread application. Quantum computing offers the potential for exponential acceleration of these tools, while physically informed neural networks (PINN) improve learning and reduce ambiguity. Objective of this paper is to explore the concept of developing a tool for laser cutting simulation based on a quantum neural network that can be trained on thermal physics principles.

Lensing Time Delays and Cosmological Complementarity

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Time delays in strong gravitational lensing systems possess significant complementarity with distance measurements to determine the dark energy equation of state, as well as the matter density and Hubble constant. Time delays are most useful when observations permit detailed lens modeling and variability studies, requiring high resolution imaging, long time monitoring, and rapid cadence. We quantify the constraints possible between a sample of 150 such time delay lenses and a near term supernova program, such as might become available from an Antarctic telescope such as KDUST and the Dark Energy Survey. Adding time delay data to supernovae plus cosmic microwave background information can improve the dark energy figure of merit by almost a factor 5 and determine the matter density Ω_m to 0.004, Hubble constant h to 0.7%, and dark energy equation of state time variation w_a to 0.26, systematics permitting.

description: We present the first privacy-preserving approach for stress detection from wrist-worn wearables based on the Time-Series Classification Transformer (TSCT) architecture and incorporating Differential Privacy (DP) to ensure provable privacy guarantees. The non-private baseline results prove the TSCT to be an effective model for the given task. Our DP experiments then show that the private models suffer from reduced utility but can still be used for reliable stress detection depending on the application. Our proposed approach has potential applications in smart health, where it can be used to monitor smartwatch users’ stress levels without compromising their privacy and provide timely interventions or suggestions to prevent adverse health outcomes. Another primary contribution is our evaluation, which studies and shows negative effects of DP regarding model training. The results of this work provide perspectives for future research and applications whenever the fields of stress detection and data privacy intervene.
Le contrôle renforcé des politiques d’austérité par la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne. Revue ECU/EURO, N°53 (2018)

description: Dans le cadre de la crise européenne des dettes souveraines, la plupart des instruments juridiques permettant l’octroi d’une assistance financière conditionnée aux États membres de l’Union européenne ont conduit à l’adoption de politiques d’austérité. La multiplication des recours en défense de droits protégés par la Charte des droits fondamentaux devant la Cour de justice s’est heurtée à un obstacle majeur: la déconnexion de ces instruments d’assistance financière du droit de l’Union européenne.
Cependant, après s’être déclarée à de nombreuses reprises incompétente en la matière, la Cour de justice a récemment opéré un changement dans son traitement de telles affaires. En effet, l’arrêt *Ledra advertising* de la Grande chambre en septembre 2016 a permis d’affirmer l’obligation pour les institutions européennes de respecter la Charte des droits fondamentaux même lorsqu’elles agissent en dehors de l’Union européenne. Cette extension de l’applicabilité de la Charte hors de l’Union s’est doublée d’une applicabilité élargie au sein même de l’Union. Néanmoins, l’application effective de la Charte aux politiques d’austérité fait toujours défaut ce qui semble en décalage face à la réaffirmation actuelle de l’Europe sociale par la Commission.
