Subjects: subject: SAPV, ABS, Infection, Palliative patient, Antibiotic therapy
subject: 610 Medizin

description: Background:
Specialized outpatient palliative care (SAPV) is a component of palliative care in Germany, which assists approximately 10% of palliative patients. The majority of these patients have a malignant disease and are at increased risk of complications or severe infection. Antibiotic stewardship (ABS) measures are implemented to optimize antibiotic administration; however, there is little data available in this area, particularly for SAPV. Therefore, we examined the extent to which ABS measures can be meaningfully used or implemented in SAPV.

Methods:
After establishing a corresponding interview guide, 15 experts from specialized areas were interviewed on this subject by the Institute for Market Research in Healthcare Munich (IMIG) through audio-registered individual interviews. The interviews were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method according to Mayring.

Results:
All 15 experts participated. The primary benefits cited were greater safety in the prescription and decision-making process for antibiotics in the areas of SAPV and improved quality of life. The implementation of continuous ABS measures for SAPV was considered difficult in some cases and linked to certain prerequisites, such as supportive advice from existing systems. The possibility of further training for SAPV members in the area of ABS was considered particularly advantageous.

Conclusions:
The implementation of ABS measures in SAPV is feasible in principle; however, it is difficult to implement under the current conditions. Close cooperation with an existing external ABS expert/team will be helpful. This will provide more security for a small, but relevant proportion of SAPV patients, and for the SAPV team treating them.
Jones-cosmetic tangle replacement
Creators: name: Shah, Pamela Alison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Bar-Natan observed that the knots 5₁ and 10₁₃₂ have identical Jones polynomial, while recent work of Baldwin, Hu and Sivek shows that the cinquefoil 5₁ is detected by Khovanov homology. These two knots are related by a Jones-cosmetic tangle replacement, under which the (3,-2) pretzel tangle found within 10₁₃₂ is replaced by a rational tangle. The theory of immersed curves developed by Kotelskiy, Watson and Zibrowius provides us with a combinatorial means of computing reduced Bar-Natan homology, via which we investigate the existence and uniqueness of Jones-cosmetic pairs formed of a two-bridge knot and a rational tangle closure of the (3,-2) pretzel tangle with determinant less than or equal to 5. Using the observation that Jones polynomials with different spans are different, we prove that there does not exist a Jones-cosmetic pair associated with the (3,-2) pretzel tangle involving the unknot or the trefoil. Moreover, we prove that 5₁ and 10₁₃₂form the unique Jones-cosmetic pair associated with the (3,-2) pretzel tangle with determinant equal to 5.
Best attainable rates of convergence for the estimation of the memory parameter

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: The purpose of this note is to prove a lower bound for the estimation of the memory parameter of a stationary long memory process. The memory parameter is defined here as the index of regular variation of the spectral density at 0. The rates of convergence obtained in the literature assume second order regular variation of the spectral density at zero. In this note, we do not make this assumption, and show that the rates of convergence in this case can be extremely slow. We prove that the log-periodogram regression (GPH) estimator achieves the optimal rate of convergence for Gaussian long memory processes.

Introduction: Female Perspectives in Commercial and Consumer Law
Creators: name: Hawkins, Jim
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2016

description: Over the past several decades, female perspectives on commercial and consumer law have played an increasingly important role in the legal literature on credit, debt, and commerce. On the one hand, now that women are permitted a place in legal academia, many more women have made contributions to these scholarly fields. But also, the literature has increasingly engaged feminist thought, highlighting the challenges women face interacting with credit. As one prominent example of the special risks that women experience, consider fringe consumer credit markets. The majority of people taking out payday loans—those short-term loans for small amounts with high costs —are women. Other fringe credit products are the same. Women make up a majority of pawn shop customers, title lending customers, and rent-to-own customers.

Entangling two unequal atoms through a common bath

description: The evolution of two, non-interacting two-level atoms immersed in a weakly coupled bath can be described by a refined, time coarse grained Markovian evolution, still preserving complete positivity. We find that this improved reduced dynamics is able to entangle the two atoms even when their internal frequencies are unequal, an effect which appears impossible in the standard weak coupling limit approach. We study in detail this phenomenon for an environment made of quantum fields.

ASSESSING FORMATION CONDITIONS OF TURBIDITE-HOSTED CARBONATE CONCRETIONS OF RIDGE BASIN, CA USING 13C, 87SR/86SR, AND CHEMICAL INDEX OF WEATHERING
Creators: name: Donelli, Tracy
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: concretions

thermal decarboxylation

description: Carbonate concretions are zones of preferential cementation in sedimentary rocks. Concretion formation is driven by different biotic or abiotic diagenetic reactions that lead to localized carbonate mineral saturation. Large (up to ~5 m across), ellipsoidal carbonate concretions occur within late Miocene (~10 Ma) sandstone turbidites of Ridge Basin, CA. These concretions are absent from shale interbeds, suggesting that the host lithology plays a role in concretion authigenesis. This study uses integrated total inorganic carbon (TIC) contents, carbonate carbon isotope compositions (d13Ccarb), carbonate cement strontium isotope compositions (87Sr/86Srcarb), and Chemical Index of Weathering (CIW) analyses to determine concretion formation mechanisms. d13Ccarb values range from -12.57 to ‑1.46‰ VPDB indicating significant carbon contribution from organic sources. Petrographic and TIC content analyses indicate that concretions are calcareous feldspathic litharenites with 8.67 to 24.17 wt% carbonate cement. Low minus-cement porosity and microscopic compaction features indicate deep abiotic concretion formation in an environment lacking active microbial metabolism (precluded by high temperatures). Cement 87Sr/86Srcarb data averages 0.71171, which is higher than the 87Sr/86Sr composition of contemporaneous (~10 Ma) seawater. These comparatively radiogenic strontium isotope compositions suggest partial Sr incorporation from reactive silicates (primarily feldspars) in the host turbidite. These findings indicate deep concretion formation was likely driven by reaction of organic-derived CO2 with turbidite silicates, providing sources of calcium and alkalinity for carbonate authigenesis.

description: A dysregulated host immune response significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Effective host directed therapies (HDTs) are critical to improve survival and clinical outcomes. Currently only one HDT, dexamethasone, is proven to improve mortality. However, there is no evidence dexamethasone reduces morbidity, how it reduces mortality is uncertain, and it has no proven benefit in HIV co-infected individuals. Further research on these aspects of its use, as well as alternative HDTs such as aspirin, thalidomide and other immunomodulatory drugs is needed. Based on new knowledge from pathogenesis studies, repurposed therapeutics which act upon small molecule drug targets may also have a role in TBM. Here we review existing literature investigating HDTs in TBM, and propose new rationale for the use of novel and repurposed drugs. We also discuss host variable responses and evidence to support a personalised approach to HDTs in TBM.
More Than Mileage: The Preconditions of Travel and the Real Burdens of H.B. 2

Year: 2016

description: During the winter break of my second year in law school, I drove from my childhood home in Fort Worth, Texas to New Orleans, Louisiana to watch oral arguments at the Fifth Circuit in the case Planned Parenthood v. Abbott. 1 That case was the first legal challenge to the constitutionality of Texas House Bill 2 (“H.B. 2”),2 the omnibus anti-abortion bill enacted by the Texas legislature in 2013. In total, I drove 541 miles door-to-door, spending about eight hours on the road each way. That distance is slightly less than what a woman living in El Paso would have to travel to get an abortion in Texas if H.B. 2 had been fully implemented. Because of the Supreme Court’s decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt,3 the second attempt to strike down the law, that potential outcome will hopefully remain a hypothetical.

The Laws of Others: Mandating “Rights Through Travel” Between Discrimination, Moral Hazard, and Irrationality
Creators: name: Ergas, Yasmin

Year: 2016

description: In the mid-1970s, shortly after a national referendum enshrined the right to divorce within Italy’s legal framework, the campaign for the liberalization of the country’s prohibitive abortion and contraception regulation took off. Part of the strategy adopted by feminist groups centered on organizing abortion travel. Clinics in London—where abortion had been legalized in 1967 (subject to various conditions, including the opinion of two physicians)—proved amenable to receiving weekly plane-loads of women accompanied by one or two activists. As demand grew and London no longer sufficed, other destinations were added. Until a new law was passed in 1978, unhappily pregnant women continued to meet in a cellar of a Roman working class neighborhood that has long since ceded to gentrification.1 There, they received travel instructions from a group of young feminists. Many of the activists were university students; a few—like the lead organizer, physician Simonetta Tosi—already professionals. Perhaps the women going to London were “learning feminism” at the same time as they were accessing vital services. It’s possible that the travel itself promoted recruitment;2 certainly, it was organized both as a service and as a form of mobilization.

Η συμβολή των Φυσικών Ισοζυγίων την δεκαετία 2011-20 σε εθνικό και περιφερειακό επίπεδο στη μείωση του πληθυσμού της Ελλάδας ( The contribution of the natural balance in Greece at the national and regional level in the decrease of population (2011-20) )

subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This issue examines the contribution of the natural balance to the decrease of the population of Greece between 1/1/2011 and 1/1/2021 at national and regional levels. The analysis shows that this demographic "atony" characterizes the whole country and not only some parts. Thus, few Regional Units (12 only out of 74) had more births than deaths, while, at a lower level only 56 out of 325 municipalities had a positive natural balance. At the same time, if, during the under consideration period the migration balance was zero 139 among the 269 municipalities that recorded negative Natural balance would lose in one decade 5 to 20% of their 2011 census population. This situation will not change in the next two decades. The natural balance at national level will remain negative (deaths in 2021-2040 will be about 950,000 more than births) while, at the same, this balance will keep being negative in almost all Regions and Municipalities. Consequently, in the absence of radical upheavals (a new wave of mass immigration of foreigners and, secondarily, the inhibition of youth emigration), the rate of decline population will continue in Greece for the two next decades.

Στο τεύχος αυτό εξετάζεται η συμβολή του φυσικού ισοζυγίου (γεννήσεις –θάνατοι) στη μείωση του πληθυσμού της Ελλάδας ανάμεσα στην 1/1/2011 και την 1/1/2021 σε εθνικό και περιφερειακό επίπεδο. Από την ανάλυση προκύπτει η δημογραφική «ατονία» που χαρακτηρίζει, σε μικρότερο η μεγαλύτερο βαθμό, το σύνολο πλέον του ελληνικού χώρου και όχι μόνον κάποια τμήματά του. Έτσι, ελάχιστες Περιφερειακές Ενότητες (μόνον 12 στις 74) είχαν περισσότερες γεννήσεις από θανάτους ενώ σε χαμηλότερο επίπεδο 56 μόνον από τους 325 δήμους είχαν επίσης θετικά Φ.Ι. Ειδικότερα δε, διαπιστώνουμε ότι αν το Μεταναστευτικό ισοζύγιο ήταν μηδενικό την περίοδο αυτή 139 ανάμεσα στους 269 δήμους που κατέγραψαν αρνητικά Φυσικά Ισοζυγία θα έχαναν σε μια και μόνον δεκαετία το 5 έως 20% του απογραφόμενου το 2011 πληθυσμού τους. Η κατάσταση αυτή δεν θα αλλάξει και την επόμενη εικοσαετία καθώς τα φυσικά ισοζύγια σε εθνικό επίπεδο θα παραμείνουν αρνητικά (οι θάνατοι το 2021-2040 θα είναι κατά 950.000 περίπου περισσότεροι από τις γεννήσεις) ενώ αρνητικά θα συνεχίσουν να είναι και τα Φ.Ι. του συνόλου σχεδόν των Περιφερειακών Ενοτήτων και των Δήμων. Κατ’ επέκταση εάν απουσία συνταρακτικών ανατροπών (νέου κύματος μαζικής μετανάστευσης αλλοδαπών και δευτερευόντως ανακοπή της φυγής των νέων μας) οι ρυθμοί μείωσης του πληθυσμού μας δεν πρόκειται να ανακοπούν
The Law of Stigma, Travel, and the Abortion-Free Island

description: In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada decriminalized abortion in R. v. Morgentaler. Almost immediately thereafter, the Maritime province of Prince Edward Island (“P.E.I.”) passed a legislative resolution opposing the provision of abortion services on the Island except to save the life of a pregnant woman. P.E.I. is a small pastoral province of rolling hills and ocean coves in the St. Lawrence Gulf, and since 1988, through various regulatory actions, its government has honored this policy promise to keep the Island abortion-free and to preserve its moral landscape.

Eulerian and Lagrangian propagators for the adhesion model (Burgers dynamics)

description: Motivated by theoretical studies of gravitational clustering in the Universe, we compute propagators (response functions) in the adhesion model. This model, which is able to reproduce the skeleton of the cosmic web and includes nonlinear effects in both Eulerian and Lagrangian frameworks, also corresponds to the Burgers equation of hydrodynamics. Focusing on the one-dimensional case with power-law initial conditions, we obtain exact results for Eulerian and Lagrangian propagators. We find that Eulerian propagators can be expressed in terms of the one-point velocity probability distribution and show a strong decay at late times and high wavenumbers, interpreted as a "sweeping effect" but not a genuine damping of small-scale structures. By contrast, Lagrangian propagators can be written in terms of the shock mass function -- which would correspond to the halo mass function in cosmology -- and saturate to a constant value at late times. Moreover, they show a power-law dependence on scale or wavenumber which depends on the initial power-spectrum index and is directly related to the low-mass tail of the shock mass function. These results strongly suggest that Lagrangian propagators are much more sensitive probes of nonlinear structures in the underlying density field and of relaxation processes than their Eulerian counterparts.

description: In her Introduction to the inaugural issue of the Columbia Journal of and Law(JGL), Ruth Bader Ginsburg traced the gendered history of Columbia Law School from 1928, when the first female student was admitted, to 1990, when women composed nearly half the student body. Reflecting on this change, she asked, “Does women’s participation affect the way law business is conducted, and the shape and direction of legal development?” In pursuing this “large question,” Justice Ginsburg contemplated a feminist movement that would offer “a spacious home” for “all who have the imagination and determination to work for the full realization of human potential.”

Signal proxy and radiative Bhabha background studies : contributions to the search for invisibly decaying dark photons at Belle II
Creators: name: Crook, Daniel Weston Mckay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The nature of dark matter is one of the greatest extant mysteries in physics. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain dark matter, but none have ever been substantiated. Some of these hypotheses propose dark sectors, i.e., entire families of dark matter particles. One such hypothesis is that of the dark photon, a massive, gauge boson which would be the mediator of the dark electromagnetic force. The dark photon would couple feebly to the photon, and thereby be producible through e⁺e⁻ annihilation at a particle collider. Described here are contributions toward a search for the dark photon at Belle II, an electron-positron collider experiment in Japan. This search focuses on invisible decays of the dark photon, with a single initial-state radiation photon serving as the only evidence of the production and decay. Due to the delicate nature of this event signature, the dark photon search requires a carefully constructed set of event requirements and vetoes that remove as much background as possible without removing a large amount of the signal. To further this goal, two control samples were designed. One control sample is of a clean radiative dimuon sample, used as a signal proxy, while the other is of the radiative Bhabha background. These control samples are then used to design vetoes and selection criteria for the search for the dark photon at Belle II, termed the single-photon analysis.
title: Eighteenth century bankruptcy law : From crime to process
Creators: name: Servian, M. S
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: During the 18th and early 19th centuries there was a vast change in the primary social function and in the meaning of the legal norm of bankruptcy law. With the growth of a depersonalised trading comity whose members increasingly required an efficient means of clearing bad debts, bankruptcy changed from being a means of policing trade to being a process for debt-collection. The objectives are to explain how it was possible for judiciary and merchants to hold conflicting views of the proper end of bankruptcy law; and to explain how and why the legislature and the judiciary eventually proved responsive to the expectations and requirements of merchants over this vital aspect of the law relating to trade. To these ends, Kuhn's theory of 'paradigm shift through crisis' is employed to explain the development of legal, as opposed to scientific knowledge. A 'relative autonomy' is established for 18th century bankruptcy law, judges being more concerned with maintaining the law's 'internal consistency' than with satisfying merchants' needs. By the late 18th century, the distance between what judges could offer, and what merchants required of bankruptcy, had become intolerable to the new impersonal trading community. The merchants' praxis for reform, the 'moral panics' of swindling and sham (friendly bankruptcies, and the accelerating bankruptcy rate, led to a crisis in the judicial paradigm of bankruptcy as crime that was only resolved by legislation in 1824/5. Thus, the emerging possibility of self-declaration of bankruptcy established the new paradigm of bankruptcy as process. The legal changes required and fought for by business accompanying the shift from personalised and honour-bound trading communities to a political economy based upon economic efficiency, and characterised by transactions between strangers, were achieved despite rather than because of judicial activity. Judges were motivated predominantly by the need to maintain the structural integrity of fields of legal discourse.

description: In the thirty-five years since I began my career in legal education, much about the status of women, gender and sexuality has changed. There are the obvious triumphs: more female students, faculty and deans—as well as more bathrooms for more kinds of people than just “men.” Life is less lonely now, and conversation more intersectional. There is more openness about LGBT issues. There is marriage equality, however contested. And there is less general tolerance for open forms of harassment.

Remembering the Founding of the Journal of Gender and Law
Creators: name: Fredrickson, Caroline
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2016

description: In my first year of law school, I felt baffled by the experience of legal education. I had spent three years working in politics—in campaigns and on Capitol Hill—and had entered law school to find a way to add intellectual depth to my instinctive progressive beliefs. But what I found, I perceived to be arid and counterfactual, with caselaw divorced from political context and history that had led legislators and judges to reach particular decisions. I was discouraged and briefly thought I had made a wrong turn on my life path, until I found a group of friends in the same intellectual and spiritual funk.1Together we decided to found a new journal, which became the Journal of Gender and Law (JGL). Founding the Journal was a real starting point for me in thinking about gender, sexuality, economic empowerment, and racial justice as overlapping and yet distinct lenses through which to view the law. The group of students who came together shared the feeling that law school was a somewhat strange and alienating environment and didn’t seem to provide us with what we were seeking. So we set out to fill that gap ourselves, resulting in the underlying philosophy of JGL: an interdisciplinary approach to the problems that continue to confound our society in terms of gender and race and the simultaneous disadvantages that affect women of color. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in her introduction to our first issue, the Columbia Journal of Gender and Lawsought to “portray today’s feminist movement, not as unitary, rigid or doctrinaire, but as a spacious home, with rooms enough to accommodate all who have the imagination and determination to work for the full realization of human potential.”

description: The simultaneous articulation of the turbulent noise of fricatives and vocal fold vibration poses diﬃculties due to their conﬂicting pressure requirements. Previous studies found advanced tongue root and narrower obstacle in voiced fricatives than in voiceless ones. The ﬁrst helps to maintain vocal fold vibration, while the latter helps to achieve the appropriate amount of turbulence. In our study 12 subjects produced /izi/ and /isi/ sequences in pre-focal position. Headset microphone-, EGG- and tongue ultrasound (US)-signals were recorded. Cessation and restart points of voicing, and the voiceless part ratio (VR) were measured in the EGG-signal. CoG, SD, skewness and kurtosis were measured in the acoustic signal at 11 equally distanced time points in the fricatives. The midsagittal tongue contours were analyzed in the US signal in the closest image to the 0%, 50% and 100% points of the fricatives’ total duration. Voicing characteristics of /z/ and /s/ were compared by LMM, the further spectral features were analyzed by GAMM, and the tongue contours were analyzed by polar GAMM. The VR, the cessation and restart point of voicing were distinctive, although some of them had large VR in /z/ realizations. That may be resulted not only by the laryngeal settings but also by the supraglottal settings. The present study found tongue contour diﬀerences between the two fricatives at 50%, of the fricatives, and also at 0% and 100% point, but in less subjects’ speech: suggesting advanced tongue root and narrower constriction in /z/ realizations and speaker dependent timing of gestures. The spectral measures did not reﬂect the US results in one-on-one way. That is explicable by the quantal relations of the two domains (Stevens, 1968), and we suggest that they are also a result of further articulatory maneuvers that are applied in the voiced and voiceless fricative pairs (see Liker Gibbon, 2011, 2013, 2018).

description: In honor of our twenty-fifth anniversary, we have assembled this special Anniversary Issue to chronicle the Journal’s evolving zeitgeist. The first essay in this Issue, written by our co-founder Caroline Fredrickson, recounts the Journal’s aspirational beginnings and the ever-changing role of women in the law, and urges us to remember how much work we still must do to achieve gender justice. The second essay, by Professor Patricia Williams, considers emerging medical technologies and the difficult questions and deep concerns they pose for gender norms, reproductive practices, and bodily autonomy. Finally, this Issue showcases three papers and an accompanying introductory piece arising out of a panel on abortion and travel. The papers highlight a critical gender issue facing this generation on a global scale—the literal lengths to which women often must go in order to vindicate critical reproductive rights. These papers are authored by Joanna N. Erdman, Yasmine Ergas, and Madeline M. Gomez, and are introduced by the panel organizers, Lisa Kelly and Nicole Tuszynski. A heartfelt thank you to all the CJGL staffers, editors, authors, and readers—past and present—who have made the Journal such a success over the past quarter century. You have made this world a wiser and more just place. Here’s to the next twenty-five years and beyond! Sincerely, Andrea M. Kozak Editor-in-Chief, 2016–2017 Columbia Journal of Gender and Law

description: We study the phase diagram of a symmetric spin-1/2 Heisenberg diamond chain with additional cyclic four-spin exchange interactions. The presented analysis supplemented by numerical exact-diagonalization results for finite periodic clusters implies a rich phase diagram containing, apart from standard magnetic and spin-liquid phases, two different tetramer-dimer phases as well as an exotic four-fold degenerate dimerized phase. The characteristics of the established spin phases as well as the nature of quantum phase transitions are discussed, as well.

Families Are More Popular Than Feminism: Exploring the Greater Judicial Success of Family and Medical Leave Laws
Creators: name: Webber, Kate
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2016

description: Two federal employment laws advance women’s position in the workplace, but one has been much more successful than the other when employee plaintiffs seek to enforce their rights in court. First, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VII”) prohibits sex discrimination in the workforce. Plaintiffs seeking to enforce this statute experience one of the lowest success rates of any civil cause of action. On the other hand, the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (“FMLA”) provides employees the right to take leave for the birth of a child, medical or family care, and prohibits discrimination against those who use their leave rights. Employees who bring cases under the FMLA have nearly double the chance of winning in court compared with anti-discrimination statutes such as Title VII. The FMLA is more successful despite the fact that, like Title VII’s sex discrimination prohibitions, the FMLA benefits women in particular, providing a key support to their workplace advancement. This Article examines the potential causes of the different litigation success rates of Title VII and the FMLA. In doing so, the Article sheds light on judicial decision-making in employment law and suggests avenues for advocates seeking to change women’s work life for the better.

Is diffusion anomalous in two-dimensional Yukawa liquids?

description: There have recently been many predictions of "superdiffusion" in two-dimensional strongly coupled Yukawa systems, both by computer simulations and in dusty plasma experiments, with substantially varying diffusion exponents. Here we show that the results crucially depend on the strength of dissipation and the time instant of the measurement. For sufficiently large friction even subdiffusion is possible. However, there are strong indications that, in the long-time limit, anomalous diffusion vanishes for dissipative as well as for frictionless systems.
Defying Silence: Immigrant Women Workers, Wage Theft, and Anti-Retaliation Policy in the States
Creators: name: Taykhman, Nicole
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2016

description: A recent New York Times exposé highlighted the inner workings of the nail salon industry in New York City, and revealed to the public how rampant wage theft props up an industry that relies on low-wage, undocumented women workers. New York’s response provides a starting point to consider how governments should respond to wage theft as it affects undocumented women. There are various legal regimes available for responding to wage theft, but each presents serious shortcomings when it intersects with the immigration system, primarily because of the threat of retaliation. As federal protections are weak or exacerbate the victimization of undocumented women, states should strengthen anti-retaliation protections specific to undocumented workers. California passed legislation in this area which New York should adopt. While the protections provided in California’s legislation would strengthen each of the various legal regimes discussed, they would also empower undocumented women to break the silence imposed by retaliation and tell narratives that resist victimization.

“Woman” in the European Human Rights System: How is the Reproductive Rights Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights Constructing Narratives of Women’s Citizenship?

description: Reproductive rights are constructed through a gender-conscious reading of already recognized human rights. We argue that despite the increasingly strong recognition of reproductive rights in international human rights law by the treaty-monitoring bodies and international tribunals, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR” or “the Court”) reflects a limited understanding of women’s experiences, does not adequately challenge gender stereotypes, and often ignores reproductive rights dimensions in the standards it is setting, as well as the narratives it is creating. Our analysis of the Court’s jurisprudence on abortion, home birth, non-consensual gynecological examinations, forced sterilizations, and assisted reproduction reveals that a woman’s reproductive capacity continues to be her defining feature. Motherhood is seen as a woman’s default life plan, her decisions regarding her body, health, and ultimately life, are perpetually under scrutiny and the contours of her agency subject to medical professionals’ views, the legislators and the general public.

En-Gendering Economic Inequality
Creators: name: Gilman, Michelle E.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Gender and Law
Year: 2016

description: We live in an era of growing economic inequality. Luminaries ranging from the President to the Pope to economist Thomas Piketty in his bestselling book Capital in the Twenty- First Century have raised alarms about the disparity between the haves and the have-nots. Overlooked, however, in these important discussions is the reality that economic inequality is not a uniform experience; rather, its effects fall more harshly on women and minorities. With regard to gender, American women have higher rates of poverty and get paid less than comparable men, and their workplace participation rates are falling. Yet economic inequality is neither inevitable nor intractable. Given that the government creates the rules of the market, it is essential to analyze the government’s role in perpetuating economic inequality. This Article specifically examines the role of the Supreme Court in contributing to gender- based economic inequality. The thesis is that the Supreme Court applies oversimplified economic assumptions about the market in its decision-making, thereby perpetuating economic inequality on the basis of gender. Applying insights of feminist economic theory, the Article analyzes recent Supreme Court jurisprudence about women workers, including Wal-Mart v. Dukes (denying class certi cation to female employees who were paid and promoted less than men), Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (granting business owners the right to deny contraception coverage to female employees on religious grounds), and Harris v. Quinn (limiting the ability of home health care workers to unionize and thereby improve their working conditions). In these cases, the Court elevates its narrow view of efficiency over more comprehensive understandings, devalues care work, upholds harmful power imbalances, and ignores the intersectional reality of the lives of low-wage women workers. The Article concludes that the Court is eroding collective efforts by women to improve their working conditions and economic standing. It suggests advocacy strategies for reforming law to obtain economic justice for women and their families.

description: We propose a quantum cloning machine, which clones a qubit into two clones assuming known modulus of expectation value of Pauli Z-matrix. The process is referred to as the mirror phase-covariant cloning, for which the input state is a priori less known than that for the standard phase-covariant cloning. Analytical expressions describing the cloning transformation and fidelity of the clones are found. Extremal equations for the optimal cloning are derived and analytically solved by generalizing a method of Fiurasek [Phys. Rev. A 64, 062310 (2001)]. Quantum circuits implementing the optimal cloning transformation and their physical realization in a quantum-dot system are described.

description: We report the discovery of kinematic shock signatures associated with a localized radio jet interaction in the merging Seyfert galaxy NGC 5929. We explore the velocity-dependent ionization structure of the gas and find that low ionization gas at the interaction site is significantly more disturbed than high ionization gas, which we attribute to a local enhancement of shock ionization due to the influence of the jet. The characteristic width of the broad low-ionization emission is consistent with shock velocities predicted from the ionization conditions of the gas. We interpret the relative prominence of shocks to the high density of gas in nuclear environment of the galaxy and place some constraints on their importance as a feedback mechanism in Seyferts.

description: The field of QoC measurement in general is still evolving and currently there is no gold standard on the process and methodology for developing such indicators. Many groups, including WHO, have used pragmatic approaches and methods with unique strengths that can be used to develop standardized guidance on how to develop robust QoC indicators to respond to specific programmatic priorities. Against the backdrop of this measurement gap, this scoping review will describe existing methods for and approaches to developing QoC indicators in general, and explore different terminologies and concepts used in QoC metrics development. The results from this work will assist WHO and its technical partners determine which metrics development method(s)/approach(s) and terminologies can be considered for adaptation or adoption as part of the ongoing QoC measurement
