Indigenous boarding school

description: Internationally, there is a paucity of research concerning boarding school experiences of Indigenous peoples (Smith 2009). Few studies have primarily addressed Indigenous girls’ experiences in contemporary boarding schools in Australia or Aotearoa New Zealand. This research was developed to amplify the voices of Indigenous girls regarding their contemporary boarding school experiences. This work sits within Indigenous studies, and reflects the multidisciplinary nature of Indigenous research. Drawing on Indigenous research methodologies, arts-based research and education, this study looks at two Australian boarding schools and includes a comparison with one Indigenous boarding school in Aotearoa New Zealand. In order to centre Indigenous student voices, I developed a new Indigenous method termed photoyarn. Photoyarn was developed with the aim of highlighting Indigenous voices in research, specifically toward providing Indigenous students with a culturally sound, relevant method they could use to drive and control their own research, about their own experiences. Photoyarn is an Indigenous method involving student photography, yarning circles and individual yarns. Photoyarn was modified for use in Aotearoa New Zealand to kōreropikitia, a method that involves digital photography, student journals and hui. Participants at each of the three boarding school sites conducted their own thematic analysis on the data they gathered. Findings showed that female Aboriginal boarding students experience homesickness, identity and behavioural changes, and changed perceptions of their home communities. Indigenous Australian boarding school students experienced racism from non-Indigenous students as well as school staff, and Aboriginal students in the study identified cultural content in classes (or lack thereof) as isolating and upsetting. Māori students identified that homesickness was softened by the cultural familiarity of the Indigenous boarding school practices and family-based education structure of their college. All students noted that the experiences of boarding school created family-like relationships between Indigenous boarders. Australian students identified the clash between home and school expectations, as well as the responsibilities of home and culture not being congruent with the structures of boarding school; and spoke of these incongruences as being difficult to navigate. My Aboriginality, life experiences, teaching and artistic practices and my personal pedagogy influenced this study in many ways. The relatedness of the Indigenous young women in this study with myself as researcher was essential in building relationships, which underpinned, shaped and encouraged the expression of student voice in this research.

description: We compare, using a three neutrino analysis, the allowed neutrino oscillation parameters and solar neutrino fluxes determined by the experimental data available Before and After Neutrino 2004. New data available after Neutrino2004 include refined KamLAND and gallium measurements. We use six different approaches to analyzing the KamLAND data. We present detailed results using all the available neutrino and anti-neutrino data for Delta m^2_{12}, tan^2 theta_{12}, sin^2 theta_{13}, and sin^2 eta (sterile fraction). Using the same complete data sets, we also present Before and After determinations of all the solar neutrino fluxes, which are treated as free parameters, an upper limit to the luminosity fraction associated with CNO neutrinos, and the predicted rate for a 7Be solar neutrino experiment. The 1 sigma (3 sigma) allowed range of Delta m^2_{21} = (8.2 +- 0.3) (^+1.0_-0.8)times 10^{-5} eV^2 is decreased by a factor of 1.7 (5), but the allowed ranges of all other neutrino oscillation parameters and neutrino fluxes are not significantly changed. Maximal mixing is disfavored at 5.8 sigma and the bound on the mixing angle theta_{13} is slightly improved to sin^2 theta_{13}<0.048 at 3 sigma. The predicted rate in a 7Be neutrino-electron scattering experiment is (0.665 +-0.015) of the rate implied by the BP04 solar model in the absence of neutrino oscillations. The corresponding predictions for p-p and pep experiments are, respectively, 0.707 {+0.011}{-0.013} and 0.644 {+0.011}{-0.013}. We derive upper limits to CPT violation in the weak sector by comparing reactor anti-neutrino oscillation parameters with neutrino oscillation parameters. We also show that the recent data disfavor at 91 % CL a proposed non-standard interaction description of solar neutrino oscillations.

description: Arrangement of interacting particles on a sphere is historically a well known problem, however, ordering of particles with anisotropic interaction, such as the dipole-dipole interaction, has remained unexplored. We solve the orientational ordering of point dipoles on a sphere with fixed positional order with numerical minimization of interaction energy and analyze stable configurations depending on their symmetry and degree of ordering. We find that a macrovortex is a generic ground state, with various discrete rotational symmetries for different system sizes, while higher energy metastable states are similar, but less ordered. We observe orientational phase transitions and hysteresis in response to changing external field both for the fixed sphere orientation with respect the field, as well as for a freely-rotating sphere. For the case of a freely rotating sphere, we also observe changes of the symmetry axis with increasing field strength.

description: Recent advancements in AI have accelerated the evolution of versatile robot designs. Chess provides a standardized environment for evaluating the impact of robot behavior on human behavior. This article presents an open-source chess robot for human-robot interaction (HRI) research, specifically focusing on verbal and non-verbal interactions. The OpenChessRobot recognizes chess pieces using computer vision, executes moves, and interacts with the human player through voice and robotic gestures. We detail the software design, provide quantitative evaluations of the efficacy of the robot, and offer a guide for its reproducibility. An online survey examining people's views of the robot in three possible scenarios was conducted with 597 participants. The robot received the highest ratings in the robotics education and the chess coach scenarios, while the home entertainment scenario received the lowest scores.

description: We introduce varying spin strengths to the Ising model, a central pillar of statistical physics. With inhomogeneous physical systems in mind, but also anticipating interdisciplinary applications, we present the model on network structures of varying degrees of complexity. We solve it for the generic case of power-law spin strength and find that, with a self-averaging free energy, the model has a rich phase diagram with new universality classes. Indeed, the degree of complexity added by variable spins is on a par to that added by endowing simple networks with increasingly realistic geometries. It is suitable for modeling emergent phenomena in many-body systems in contexts where non-identicality of spins or agents plays an essential role and for exporting statistical physics concepts beyond physics.

description: Sparse support recovery arises in many applications in communications and signal processing. Existing methods tackle sparse support recovery problems for a given measurement matrix, and cannot flexibly exploit the properties of sparsity patterns for improving performance. In this letter, we propose a data-driven approach to jointly design the measurement matrix and support recovery method for complex sparse signals, using auto-encoder in deep learning. The proposed architecture includes two components, an auto-encoder and a hard thresholding module. The proposed auto-encoder successfully handles complex signals using standard auto-encoder for real numbers. The proposed approach can effectively exploit properties of sparsity patterns, and is especially useful when these underlying properties do not have analytic models. In addition, the proposed approach can achieve sparse support recovery with low computational complexity. Experiments are conducted on an application ex-ample, device activity detection in grant-free massive access for massive machine type communications (mMTC). Numerical results show that the proposed approach achieves significantly better performance with much less computation time than classic methods, in the presence of extra structures in sparsity patterns.

Inhomogenous Primordial Baryon Distributions on Sub-Galactic Scales: High-z Galaxy Formation with WDM

description: For the Warm Dark Matter (WDM) cosmological model the implications of strongly inhomogenous, primordial baryon distribution on sub-galactic scales for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies and Galaxy Formation (including fully non-linear evolution to z=0) are discussed, and the inflationary theory leading to such distributions is briefly reviewed. It is found that Big Bang Nucleosynthesis is essentially unaffected relative to SBBN and that the change in recombination history at z~1500-700 relative to ``standard'' theory leads to differences in the anisotropy and polarization power spectra, which should be detectable by the Planck satellite provided systematic effects can be accounted for. Moreover, it is shown by fully cosmological, hydro/gravity simulations that the formation of galactic discs is only weakly affected by going from smooth to highly non-homogenous, initial baryon distributions. In particular, the final disc angular momenta at z=0 are as large as for the standard case and the ``disc angular momentum problem'' is solved to within a factor of two or better without invoking (hypothetical) energetic feedback events. A very desirable difference relative to the the standard WDM model, however, is that the on-set of star (and AGN) formation happens earlier. For the ``optimal'' free-streaming mass scale of M_f~1.5x10^11 h^-1 Msun the redshift of formation of the first stars increases from z_*=4-5 to >6.5, in much better agreement with observational data on high-redshift galaxies and QSOs. It will, however, not be possible to push z_* above ~10, because at higher redshifts the gas velocity field is nowhere compressive. Probing the ``dark ages'' will hence enable a direct test of this theory.

description: Extensive efforts are being undertaken by data management agencies and users to leverage metadata standards to provide better access to statistical data and knowledge. This however requires combining domain expertise, infrastructures, tools, and technologies, an endeavor that can be challenging even for larger organizations. Metadata Technology North America and Integrated Data Management Services are at the forefront of such efforts. As such, we recognize the need for providing free or low-costs access to shared infrastructure and tools for fostering metadata-driven data management and sharing. OpenMetadata is our attempt at achieving such objective.The web based portal, to be unveiled at IASSIST 2012, aims to provide agencies and users with an online space for sharing metadata and gaining access to useful tools/utilities around the DDI, SDMX and related standards. Furthermore, it will provide detailed provenance information, directing users to sources of data to apply for access and/or leverage other services. The presentation will provide an overview of the initial set of tools and services available through the portal, including OpenDDI, and outline our long term vision.

Coclotus (Platorhaphe) Möllendorff, 1890: 267.
Tope species: Coclotus pusillus G.B. Sowerby I, 1843 (Fig. 6B), by original designation.
Remarks: No recent revision has been published.Tirty-three of the 76 species were described from the Philippines by Bartsch (1919), who is famous for being an extreme spliter (see Waters 2006, and Páll-Gergely et al. 2019 and references therein). Terefore, the real number of species might be lower, although several undescribed species await description from continental Asia.
Bartsch (1919) described three subgenera (Platoraphella, Platoraphida, and Platoraphina) based on subtle differences of the operculum, all from the Philippines. Although we have not examined this question in detail, it seems unlikely that four subgenera are known from the edge of the distribution of this genus, whereas the nominotypical subgenus is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. Te subgenera of Platorhaphe are likely to be results of Bartsch’s extreme spliting activity. Tus, in agreement with Egorov (2009), we do not consider them valid, and we handle Platorhaphe as a genus without subgenera.
Although Bartsch (1919) clearly indicated the presence of the inner tube of this genus as a characteristic feature, it has not received any atention by later authors. Tus, owing to the simple cyclophoroid shell shape, some species currently classified as Platorhaphe might belong to Coclotus or other similar-looking genera, and vice versa. Tis question will be investigated further in upcoming systematic studies.

description: The efficiency of recently proposed single-photon emitting sources based on tunable planar band-gap structures is examined. The analysis is based on the study of the total and ``radiative'' decay rates, the expectation value of emitted radiation energy and its collimating cone. It is shown that the scheme operating in the frequency range near the defect resonance of a defect band-gap structure is more efficient than the one operating near the band edge of a perfect band-gap structure.

description: We developed methods for mapping spatial variations of the spatial power spectrum (SPS) and structure function (SF) slopes, with a goal of connecting neutral hydrogen (HI) statistical properties with the turbulent drivers. The new methods were applied on the HI observations of the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC). In the case of the SMC, we find highly uniform turbulent properties of HI, with no evidence for local enhancements of turbulence due to stellar feedback. Such properties could be caused by a significant turbulent driving on large-scales. Alternatively, a significant line-of-sight depth of the SMC could be masking out localized regions with a steeper SPS slope caused by stellar feedback. In contrast to the SMC, the LMC HI shows a large diversity in terms of its turbulent properties. Across most of the LMC, the small-scale SPS slope is steeper than the large-scale slope due to the presence of the HI disk. On small spatial scales, we find several areas of localized steepening of the SPS slope around major HII regions, with the 30 Doradus region being the most prominent. This is in agreement with predictions from numerical simulations which suggest steepening of the SPS slope due to stellar feedback eroding and destroying interstellar clouds. We also find localized steepening of the large-scale SPS slope in the outskirts of the LMC. This is likely caused by the flaring of the HI disk, or alternatively ram-pressure stripping of the LMC disk due to the interactions with the surrounding halo gas.

description: Passivity of companies to change, leads them into danger. It then becomes less competitive and lose its market, until jeopardize the existence of the company. Such adverse changes in business with the tendency of further deterioration of the crisis are called businesses crisis. Analysis of the symptoms of the crisis based on the assumption that the company is a reservoir of cash, and that his goal is to successfully manage cash flow. When the tank is empty, it is considered that the company had gone bankrupt. Investigation of factors such as profitability, growth and liquidity should provide information on the depth of the crisis in which the company is located. proper reallocation of resources is achieved and the company contributes in general to creating a favorable economic environment and accelerating economic development, which are the main objectives of the economic activities of society.

description: As data becomes an increasingly important element within the scholarly record there is growing recognition that researchers need to easily locate an original dataset that results are drawn from, and to verify and reproduce these results in order to build upon research work. Due to the lack of standards for citing data, the stage of locating the original dataset is not yet easy to do, or widely embedded in researchers' practice. This presentation will describe the approach taken to address this concern by ESDS International, a specialist service of the Economic and Social Data Service who disseminate and support aggregate and survey international datasets for the UK academic community. Key issues citing ESDS International hosted datasets, such as the OECD's Main Economic Indicators will be highlighted, including: revisions to historical series, frequently updated datasets, multiple publishers, data access restrictions and granualarity of the citation. We will explain how we worked with DataCite UK to create bibliographic citations conforming to the DataCite Metadata Schema (http://dx.doi.org/10.5438/0005) and used their Metadata Store to mint Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). In addition we will illustrate how we have integrated citation information into our data delivery software. Finally we will describe future challenges - primarily user adoption and publisher buy-in.

description: Like any tax, the VAT is vulnerable to evasion and fraud. It should be said that its concept of credit - refund offers the unique possibility of abuse, which has for a long time the main concern in the European Union (EU), while in Serbia profiled specific form of VAT evasion, so called “ Business with phantom companies “. This paper describes the basic types of tax violations characteristic of VAT, considers how to solve them, based on the experiences of development countries, with a special focus on the specific concept to VAT in Serbia.
Lorentz invariance violation in top-down scenarios of ultrahigh energy cosmic ray creation

description: The violation of Lorentz invariance (LI) has been invoked in a number of ways to explain issues dealing with ultrahigh energy cosmic ray (UHECR) production and propagation. These treatments, however, have mostly been limited to examples in the proton-neutron system and photon-electron system. In this paper we show how a broader violation of Lorentz invariance would allow for a series of previously forbidden decays to occur, and how that could lead to UHECR primaries being heavy baryonic states or Higgs bosons.

Mott transition in two-band fermion model with on-site Coulomb repulsion

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We provide analytical and numerical solution of the two band fermion model with on-site Coulomb at half filling. In limiting cases for generate bands and one flat band, the model reduces to the Hubbard and Falicov-Kimball models, respectively. We have shown that the insulator state emerges at half filling due to hybridization of fermions of different bands with momenta k and k$+π$. Such hybridization breaks the conservation of the number of particles in each band, the Mott transition is a consequence of spontaneous symmetry breaking. A gap in the spectrum is calculated depending on the magnitude of on-site Coulomb repulsion and the width of the band for the chain, as well as for square and cubic lattices. The proposed approach allows us to describe the formation of the gap in the fermion spectra in the Hubbard and Falicov-Kimball models within the framework of the same mechanism for an arbitrary dimension of the system.

description: Knowledge of environmental laws, processes and phenomena in the nature enriches human to perceive it bodily. Arranging it to his needs he mustn’t disrupt the process or disarrange the functional balance that exists between human beings and theirs environment. It can be avoided if ones are familiar to the ecological legality and if people act in accordance with them. So, the consciousness of ecology impersonates a life form, which respects and harmonizes it with the physical laws of matter orbiting, energy expenditure or life regeneration, whereby it urges to take just the basic human needs necessities. That’s why the environmental ethics represents a man ecological relationship to the environment, which refers to the moral relationship between human (techno sphere) and natural (biosphere). A new environment attitude, as well as the transformation of the spirit of modern working world is becoming imperative. A sustainable development concept offers the possibility of harmonious development.

One More Tool: The Pecha Kucha

description: A picture is worth a 1,000 words; 20 images x 20 seconds is a Pecha Kucha This Pecha Kucha will present examples of a data service unit engaged with various audiences using a range of tools: webinars; web sites; online voting/surveys; contests; a blog; twitter; a crossword puzzle; audio interviews and even a roast. These examples include triumphs, whimpers, and lots in between. The initial impetus to embrace varied communication tools was to liven things up: in workshops - especially workshops crammed with too much material in too little time; selected techniques were also helpful in an 8:30am required quantitative reasoning class. But, over time, I've embraced technology as a way to enhance communication even when the audience is eager and engaged. In ten years, the technology and tools will be different, but the need for data professionals (and others) to reach their audiences will remain. So, the major issue is really the message, not the medium. But, it is important to learn, evaluate, and embrace new communication technologies. Alas a technique I haven't ever used is the Pecha Kucha. It is time for one more tool for audience engagement.

description: The rural Chinese restaurant has played an integral role in the lives of many immigrants for over a hundred years in Canada. The spoken stories of these families are often celebrated as a monolithic narrative of how hard work and perseverance will lead to success. However, personal anecdotes of these families often allude to immense hardships and sacrifices. This dichotomy between objective measures of success against the silent lived experience erases the unspoken desires, hopes, and dreams of these family members throughout history that could never be vocalized nor manifested as a product of time, cultural norms, and the need to assimilate. Routinely, a migrant body must adapt themselves to new spaces they move into. How can architecture embody and empathize with what is being lost and desired as one moves across the globe? This project reimagines an alternate history of one Chinese restaurant- the Golden Turtle Restaurant, a mere sliver of the many possible lost cultures, traditions, and imaginations that have graced these restaurant histories through time. Here, a multigenerational assemblage is built from the hardships, longings, and dreams of its inhabitants.

description: For the majority of international investors, country’s risk and sovereignty risk are the greatest risks. Country’s risk usually includes political and economic uncertainty. Transition countries are characterized by big budget deficit, inflation, domestic currency appreciation, inconstant exchange terms, low accumulation, limits and market restrictons. Special risk type is market concentration and monopoly. Other factors increasing foerign capital investment in transition countries are payment risk, market risk, operating risk, off-balance sheet risks, consolidation and convergence, money laundering, off-shore business, inadequate prudential control of banks and other financial mediators, outstanding corruption and criminal. Due to sinergetic action of these factors, transition states may be exposed to the risk of international reputation decrease.

description: We show that deterministic quantum computing with a single bit (DQC1) can determine whether the classical limit of a quantum system is chaotic or integrable using O(N) physical resources, where $N$ is the dimension of the Hilbert space of the system under study. This is a square root improvement over all known classical procedures. Our study relies strictly on the random matrix conjecture. We also present numerical results for the nonlinear kicked top.

description: We present the results of a multi-wavelength follow up campaign for the luminous nuclear transient Gaia16aax, which was first identified in January 2016. The transient is spatially consistent with the nucleus of an active galaxy at z=0.25, hosting a black hole of mass $\rm \sim6\times10^8M_\odot$. The nucleus brightened by more than 1 magnitude in the Gaia G-band over a timescale of less than one year, before fading back to its pre-outburst state over the following three years. The optical spectra of the source show broad Balmer lines similar to the ones present in a pre-outburst spectrum. During the outburst, the $\rm Hα$ and $\rm Hβ$ emission lines develop a secondary peak. We also report on the discovery of two transients with similar light curve evolution and spectra: Gaia16aka and Gaia16ajq. We consider possible scenarios to explain the observed outbursts. We exclude that the transient event could be caused by a microlensing event, variable dust absorption or a tidal encounter between a neutron star and a stellar mass black hole in the accretion disk. We consider variability in the accretion flow in the inner part of the disk, or a tidal disruption event of a star $\geq 1 M_{\odot}$ by a rapidly spinning supermassive black hole as the most plausible scenarios. We note that the similarity between the light curves of the three Gaia transients may be a function of the Gaia alerts selection criteria.

Flavor altering excitations of composite fermions

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Past theoretical studies have considered excitations of a given flavor of composite fermions across composite-fermion quasi-Landau levels. We show that in general there exists a ladder of flavor changing excitations in which composite fermions shed none, some, or all of their vortices. The lowest energy excitations are obtained when the composite fermions do not change their flavor, whereas in the highest energy excitations they are stripped of all of their vortices, emerging as electrons in the final state. The results are relevant to the intriguing experimental discovery of Hirjibehedin {\em et al.} (cond-mat/0306152) of coexisting excitation modes of composite fermions of different flavor in the filling factor range $1/3>ν\geq 1/5$.

description: Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT show excellent capabilities in various natural language processing tasks, especially for text generation. The effectiveness of LLMs in summarizing radiology report impressions remains unclear. In this study, we explore the capability of eight LLMs on the radiology report impression summarization. Three types of radiology reports, i.e., CT, PET-CT, and Ultrasound reports, are collected from Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute. We use the report findings to construct the zero-shot, one-shot, and three-shot prompts with complete example reports to generate the impressions. Besides the automatic quantitative evaluation metrics, we define five human evaluation metrics, i.e., completeness, correctness, conciseness, verisimilitude, and replaceability, to evaluate the semantics of the generated impressions. Two thoracic surgeons (ZSY and LB) and one radiologist (LQ) compare the generated impressions with the reference impressions and score each impression under the five human evaluation metrics. Experimental results show that there is a gap between the generated impressions and reference impressions. Although the LLMs achieve comparable performance in completeness and correctness, the conciseness and verisimilitude scores are not very high. Using few-shot prompts can improve the LLMs' performance in conciseness and verisimilitude, but the clinicians still think the LLMs can not replace the radiologists in summarizing the radiology impressions.
