National Development Plans in PNG — How They Measure Up Against the National Goals and Directive Principles
Creators: name: Kaiku, Patrick
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: This paper revisits the development models promoted in recent national plans in PNG, the influences that framed their ambitious visions and their compatibility with the earlier NGDPs. Learning from the failed attempts at implementing the National Goals and Directive Principles (NGDPs), this paper suggests making them justiciable and institutionalised — as suggested by the Constitutional Planning Committee (CPC) —for the purpose of vetting development policies and programs.

description: In this paper, we mathematically model the multi-hop Peer-to-Peer (P2P) ride-matching problem as a binary program. We formulate this problem as a many-to-many problem in which a rider can travel by transferring between multiple drivers, and a driver can carry multiple riders. We propose a pre-processing procedure to reduce the size of the problem, and devise a decomposition algorithm to solve the original ride-matching problem to optimality by means of solving multiple smaller problems. We conduct extensive numerical experiments to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed algorithm and show its practical applicability to reasonably-sized dynamic ride-matching contexts. Finally, in the interest of even lower solution times, we propose heuristic solution methods, and investigate the trade-offs between solution time and accuracy.

Image-based sexual abuse (IBSA), colloquially called ‘revenge porn’, refers to the non-consensual capture, creation, publishing or distribution (or the threat to do so) of nude or sexually explicit images, or videos of a person without their consent. This article suggests some possible interventions and remedies in India.
Are Bank Bailouts Welfare Improving?
Creators: Shukayev, Malik
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2019

SSHRC IDG awarded 2019: This project aims to examine if publicly funded bailouts of financial institutions during banking crises are welfare beneficial, once their longer term impact on risk taking and on the crisis probability is taken in account.The specific objectives of the research are: a) to develop a general equilibrium model which allows a quantitative assessment of the welfare costs and benefits of publicly funded bailouts of financial institutions during widespread banking panics; b)to evaluate quantitatively the role that various monetary policy and financial regulation regimes play in alleviating the need for emergency bailout procedures during crisis; c) to characterize the optimal financial rescue strategy admitting systematic responses, yet with some intentionally randomized eligibility criteria in bailout procedures. We are planning to adapt an extended and re-calibrated version of the model in Shukayev and Ueberfeldt (2018) to analyze the welfare implications of bank bailouts.
title: Considerations For Using Spawner Reference Levels In Single And Mixed-Stock Fisheries

Pressures, impacts, conservation, and management

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The probability of achieving the spawning requirement objective is defined by the stochastic properties of small numbers and biological characteristics of the stock. The uncertainty in achieving the spawning escapement objective is greater for small stocks than large ones such that measures of annual performance are more variable for small stocks. Summing individual river spawner requirements into a regional requirement reduces the probability of meeting the objectives simultaneously in all rivers. Variations in productivity among stocks, when not accounted for, can result in under-escapement in the lower productivity areas. Three case studies of aggregating river-specific Atlantic salmon spawning requirements within a mixed stock fishery context are presented. In the first case, 17 rivers within the Welsh region of UK (England and Wales) are combined and the probability profiles of achieving requirements in all rivers simultaneously are described. To attain a probability greater than 50% of simultaneously achieving the required escapement in these 17 rivers, the regional spawner requirement must be increased by at least 10%. In the second case study, the 15 NEAC monitored rivers are aggregated into a NEAC complex. This results in a less than 50% probability of meeting the requirements simultaneously in all 15 rivers even when the regional requirement is doubled. This is a consequence of a small, low productivity river, which when included in such a complex produces proportionally fewer recruits than the other stocks. Each mixed stock fishery situation can and should be evaluated on a case-bycase basis. This can be done using the Monte Carlo techniques described. The impact of mixed stock fisheries can be most important on the small stocks and especially if these are of low relative productivity. Increasing the regional spawner requirement in an attempt to compensate for lower productivity may alleviate the problem somewhat but is not a guaranteed solution to the challenge of protecting low productivity stocks in mixed stock fishery situations.

description: Forage fishes are key energy conduits that transfer primary and secondary productivity to higher trophic levels. As novel environmental conditions caused by climate change alter ecosystems and predator–prey dynamics, there is a critical need to understand how forage fish control bottom-up forcing of food web dynamics. In the northeast Pacific, northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) is an important forage species with high interannual variability in population size that subsequently impacts the foraging and reproductive ecology of marine predators. Anchovy habitat suitability from a species distribution model (SDM) was assessed as an indicator of the diet, distribution and reproduction of four predator species. Across 22 years (1998–2019), this anchovy ecosystem indicator (AEI) was significantly positively correlated with diet composition of all species and the distribution of common murres (Uria aalge), Brandt's cormorants (Phalacrocorax penicillatus) and California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), but not rhinoceros auklets (Cerorhinca monocerata). The capacity for the AEI to explain variability in predator reproduction varied by species but was strongest with cormorants and sea lions. The AEI demonstrates the utility of forage SDMs in creating ecosystem indicators to guide ecosystem-based management.
Patterns of Labour Market Instability Across Canada
Creators: Denier, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IDG awarded 2020: Canada is at the cusp of foundational industrial change. New technologies and business practices are transforming the nature of work, spurring widespread concern over growing labour market instability and large scale job losses. Recent high profile plant closures and layoff announcements from the likes of General Motors, Sears, and a swell of oilfield services firms, highlight the commonality of job loss and the challenges workers, communities, and even entire provinces face when work disappears. How do workers respond to the loss of employment? How do different social and industrial contexts surrounding labour market instability impact the consequences of job loss? The proposed project will weigh in on these questions and broader academic and public debates about job instability in Canada by documenting the incidence and consequences of job separations over the period spanning 1997-­2019. In particular, I will draw on the master file of the Labour Force Survey to hone in on how detailed employment endings – resulting from layoffs, plant closures, temporary contract endings, dismissals, completion of seasonal work, and job dissatisfaction, among others – impact subsequent earnings, income, job quality, and social outcomes. Longitudinal methods, including fixed effects models and sequence analysis, will document how worker wellbeing changes in the wake of a job separation. Individual level data from the Labour Force Survey will be linked to rich contextual data on social and economic conditions, including the unemployment rate, neighborhood income, and population density, to illustrate how the prevalence and outcomes of job loss vary across Canada. The exceptionally long timeframe under study will illuminate how these patterns have evolved over a period of massive economic change.

Year: 2021

SSHRC IDG awarded 2021: For this research we are interested in accomplishing three main objectives. Objective 1: to first identify athlete perceptions of control during low-control setbacks, such as sport interruptions, and their impact on motivation in sport and psychosocial wellbeing. Objective 2: to design an online intervention to boost secondary control (SC) for atheletes facing low-control setbacks. This objective will be guided by the mixed-method results from Objective 1, collaborative strategies with athlete and coaches' input, and control theory. Objective 3: to evaluate the efficacy of the SC intervention in inceasing SC, motivation in sport, and psychosocial wellbeing outcomes. The findings for this research will advance the study of secondary control (SC) by testing its influence in an applied sport context.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Explicit treatment of uncertainty is essential for analyzing mixed-stock fisheries. Fish stock composition, spatial distribution, fishing effort, and time may all be important elements in modeling the dynamics of such fisheries. Given this complexity, there is a need for rigorous structural approaches in dealing with uncertainty. In this paper, I describe three simple approaches for addressing typical uncertainties about stock composition in mixed-stock fisheries. These are: (i) using proportion simplex sampling to describe uncertainty in stock composition, (ii) choosing between alternatives for summarizing contributions of stock groups to mixed-stock fisheries, and (iii) incorporating unique identifiers into stock composition analysis. Each approach is illustrated using a specific example from mixed-stock fisheries for Pacific salmon (Onchorynchus spp.).

description: The decay $b\to sν\barν$ has been a neglected sibling of $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$ because neutrinos pass undetected and hence the process offers less number of observables. We show how the decay $b\to s~+$~invisible(s) can shed light, even with a limited number of observables, on possible new physics beyond the Standard Model and also show, quantitatively, the reach of future $B$ factories like SuperBelle to uncover such new physics. Depending on the operator structure of new physics, different channels may act as the best possible probe. We show, using the Optimal Observable technique, how almost the entire parameter space allowed till now can successfully be probed at a high luminosity $B$ factory.

description: Recent diffraction experiments on metallic glasses have unveiled an unexpected non-cubic scaling law between density and average interatomic distance, which lead to the speculations on the presence of fractal glass order. Using X-ray tomography we identify here a similar non-cubic scaling law in disordered granular packing of spherical particles. We find that the scaling law is directly related to the contact neighbors within first nearest neighbor shell, and therefore is closely connected to the phenomenon of jamming. The seemingly universal scaling exponent around 2.5 arises due to the isostatic condition with contact number around 6, and we argue that the exponent should not be universal.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Most of the exploitation of Atlantic salmon takes place close to or within the rivers of origin of the stocks. However, salmon from rivers in both North America and Europe, principally the southern countries, are caught in the mixed stock fishery operating off the west coast of Greenland, and in the Faroese fishery, although not currently operating, has taken salmon from all European salmon producing countries. Provision of robust quantitative catch advice for these fisheries therefore depends upon being able to forecast the stock abundance for about 2000 salmon river-stocks around the North Atlantic, over 1500 of which are in Europe. A ‘NEAC-PFA’ model has been developed and refined for estimating the pre-fishery abundance (PFA) of salmon in the NASCO- NEAC area based upon catch data and estimates of non-reporting rates and exploitation rates. Use of alternative approaches, based upon estimation of juvenile production, have so far proved unsuccessful because of lack of data. Alternative methods for estimating the numbers of returns which incorporate both counter and catch data are also being considered. Estimates of PFA and spawner numbers derived from the NEAC-PFA model and environmental data have been used to try to develop models to forecast stock abundance, but forecasts have been strongly influenced by the declining, temporal trends in stock abundance. Consideration is being given to alternative modelling approaches, including the use of Bayesian techniques.

description: The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model describes a collection of randomly interacting Majorana fermions that exhibits profound connections to quantum chaos and black holes. We propose a solid-state implementation based on a quantum dot coupled to an array of topological superconducting wires hosting Majorana zero modes. Interactions and disorder intrinsic to the dot mediate the desired random Majorana couplings, while an approximate symmetry suppresses additional unwanted terms. We use random matrix theory and numerics to show that our setup emulates the SYK model (up to corrections that we quantify) and discuss experimental signatures.

description: We discuss new transport phenomena in the presence of both a strong magnetic field and a vortex field. Their interplay induces a charge distribution and a current along the magnetic field. We show that the associated transport coefficients can be obtained from a simple analysis of the single-particle distribution functions and also from the Kubo formula calculation. The consistent results from these analyses suggest that the transport coefficients are tied to the chiral anomaly in the (1+1) dimension because of the dimensional reduction in the lowest Landau levels.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Management of the sub-structured salmonid species may benefit by considering the genetic structure of the species. In the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), genetic studies show that populations are genetically distinct, but also that they do not exist in isolation. In this paper, we look at genetic management in a group of populations that are harvested together in the ocean, and separately in fresh water. The scientific problem can be formulated as to combine goals of optimal harvesting and effective population size in a group of populations interconnected by migration. By developing a model that maximises harvesting yield of a group of populations, subject to constraints set by maintaining the total effective size, Tufto & Hindar (2003, J. Theor. Biol. 222:273-81) showed that: (1) Considerable gain can be made in total effective size in a group of populations through harvesting based on knowledge about genetic structure, (2) in source-sink population systems, the total effective size can be increased without reducing total yield by first reducing the harvest in the smallest (sink) populations, (3) when populations differ in their degree of isolation, it pays to harvest relatively less in isolated populations, and (4) in cases with directionality in the migration pattern, the total effective size can become less than the sum of the subpopulation sizes. We apply the model to a set of ten salmon populations in western Norway, which is dominated numerically by the River Lærdalselva population. We show that the total effective size of this population system is to a large extent dependent on the effective size of the Lærdalselva population. On the other hand, the smaller populations contribute more to the total per fish, than what the Lærdalselva population does. We discuss the results in light of conservation genetic theory and empirical results on the fitness consequences of loss of genetic variation in salmonids, and conclude that the genetic consequences of harvesting need to be assessed both at the level of local (sub)populations and at the level of the total population.

description: In this paper, we investigate the convergence and consistency properties of an Invariant-Extended Kalman Filter (RI-EKF) based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm. Basic convergence properties of this algorithm are proven. These proofs do not require the restrictive assumption that the Jacobians of the motion and observation models need to be evaluated at the ground truth. It is also shown that the output of RI-EKF is invariant under any stochastic rigid body transformation in contrast to $\mathbb{SO}(3)$ based EKF SLAM algorithm ($\mathbb{SO}(3)$-EKF) that is only invariant under deterministic rigid body transformation. Implications of these invariance properties on the consistency of the estimator are also discussed. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that RI-EKF outperforms $\mathbb{SO}(3)$-EKF, Robocentric-EKF and the "First Estimates Jacobian" EKF, for 3D point feature based SLAM.
Simple Techniques for Managing Complicated Fractures in Camelids and Small Ruminants

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2011

description: In general, long bone fractures of New World camelids, sheep, and goats have a favorable prognosis for healing. Secondary complications associated with fracture location and severity, although uncommon, may affect outcome. Methods of fixation vary, but both internal fixation and different forms of external fixation, usually in the form of casting and transcortical pinning, have been successful. Fracture type, location, economic impact, and aftercare often dictate methodology. Existence of an open fracture will affect prognosis negatively, but my impression is osteomyelitis and sequestration, leading to fixation failure, is uncommon. When cases of non- or delayed union are presented, failure of fracture ossification often relates to inadequate stability or infection.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A typology has been made of the French off-shore fleet fishing in the North Atlantic. The investigation was carried out separately for all years between 1985 and 2002. two statistical techniques were combined: PCA and cluster analysis. In 1985, the majority of vessels targeted saithe in Westerne Scotland (vessels from Lorient) and in the Northern North Sea (vessels from Boulogne and Fécamp). Probably due to the decline of the saithe biomass, some vessels started to target deep-sea species: blue ling (late 80ies), roundnose grenadier (1990), orange roughy (1991) and siki (1994). In the nineties, the deep-water species fishery developed and diversified. In 2002, Boulogne vessels fished exclusively saithe (>80%) or principally deep-sea species. Vessels from Lorient fished a majority of deep-sea species with about 10-20% of saithe and 10-20% of blue ling. In 2002, no vessel fished important part of orange roughy. Based on these findings, a number of fisheries could be identified over the period 1985-2002. Such fisheries may be used as operational units to carry out e.g. mixed and multi-stock fisheries forecasts and management.

description: The genus Cyrtodactylus has recently been classified phylogenetically into several clades, subclades, groups, and some into Sri Lankan Cyrtodactylus. Certain complexes from the Indian subcontinent have been assigned to the “C. triedrus group”. This group is comprised of medium-sized species (SVL 50.6–105.7 mm) and are composed of five major species complexes: fraenatus, triedrus, deccanensis, jeyporensis, and collegalensis. Among these complexes, the latter four are composed of ground and litter dwelling species, which were previously assigned to the genus Geckoella; and is currently being treated as a subgenus. Cyrtodactylus triedrus, an endemic species of Sri Lanka, has long been considered a widely distributed single species in this part of the world. Based on morphological and phylogenetic evidences, we demonstrate that C. (G.) triedrus is not a single species, but a species complex. We also describe a new species that is restricted to intermediate savanna-mixed dry lowland forested habitats. Furthermore, we resurrect Geckoella punctata, assign it to the genus Cyrtodactylus and designate a lectotype that we redescribe. The genetic divergence across species of the C. triedrus clade varies between 11–26% in the studied fragment of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene. The molecular phylogeny of the ground dwelling radiation of the subgenus Geckoella indicates deep splits between the Indian species and Sri Lankan endemic C. (G.) triedrus sensu stricto, and between Indian dry and wet zone clades. Cyrtodactylus (G.). triedrus is restricted to the moist or submontane forests in the Central highlands of Sri Lanka and is redescribed herein based on its holotype. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank:org:pub:3B37037C-EE9F-4011-BEC9-47E1F3BB6779

Enriched axial anomaly in Weyl materials

description: While quantum anomalies are often associated with the breaking of a classical symmetry in the quantum theory, their anomalous contributions to observables remain distinct and well-defined even when the symmetry is broken from the outset. This paper explores such anomalous contributions to the current, originating from the axial anomaly in a Weyl semimetal, and in the presence of a generic Weyl node-mixing term. We find that apart from the familiar anomalous divergence of the axial current proportional to a product of electric and magnetic fields, there is another anomalous term proportional to a product of the electric field and the orientation of a spin-dependent node-mixing vector. We obtain this result both by a quantum field-theoretic analysis of an effective Weyl action and solving an explicit lattice model. The extended spin-mixing mass terms, and the enriched axial anomaly they entail, could arise as mean-field or proximity-induced order parameters in spin-density-wave phases in Weyl semimetals or be generated dynamically within a Floquet theory.

description: Forage fishes are key energy conduits that transfer primary and secondary productivity to higher trophic levels. As novel environmental conditions caused by climate change alter ecosystems and predator–prey dynamics, there is a critical need to understand how forage fish control bottom-up forcing of food web dynamics. In the northeast Pacific, northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) is an important forage species with high interannual variability in population size that subsequently impacts the foraging and reproductive ecology of marine predators. Anchovy habitat suitability from a species distribution model (SDM) was assessed as an indicator of the diet, distribution and reproduction of four predator species. Across 22 years (1998–2019), this anchovy ecosystem indicator (AEI) was significantly positively correlated with diet composition of all species and the distribution of Common murres (Uria aalge), Brandt's cormorants (Phalacrocorax penicillatus) and California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), but not rhinoceros auklets (Cerorhinca monocerata). The capacity for the AEI to explain variability in predator reproduction varied by species but was strongest with cormorants and sea lions. The AEI demonstrates the utility of forage SDMs in creating ecosystem indicators to guide ecosystem-based management.

description: We find t-designs on compact algebraic manifolds with a number of points comparable to the dimension of the space of polynomials of degree t on the manifold. This generalizes results on the sphere by Bondarenko, Radchenko and Viazovska. Of special interest is the particular case of the Grassmannians where our results improve the bounds that had been proved previously.

description: Chemical investigation of Penthorum chinense resulted in the isolation of two neolignans (1 and 2) together with two known compounds (3 and 4). The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by interpretation of spectroscopic data, and absolute configurations were made based on electronic circular dichroism (ECD). All compounds were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on hepatic stellate T6 cells (HSC-T6 cells), and 1 and 2 showed moderate activity with IC50 values of 15.3 and 10.1 μM, respectively.

description: Commonality exists between infections of soft tissue, bone, and joints because they involve bacterial infection of important structures, and considerable effort on the part of the veterinary practitioner may be necessary for successful treatment. Our discussion will focus on treatment methodologies, with emphasis on regional perfusion, which may be of value effecting a cure. The methods are applicable to small ruminants and camelids, although success may not require using all methods of treatment.

description: This is the translation into English of the introduction, conclusion, and the list of references of the review on massive primordial black holes, which is submitted in Russian to Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk (Physics-Uspekhi). If accepted, this review is translated into English by the Journal and published in Russian and a little later in English. The review concerns the recent astronomical data which show that massive primordial black holes play much more significant role in the universe than it was previously believed. This is true both for the the contemporary and the early universe at the red-shifts about 10. The mechanism, proposed in 1993, of primordial creation of heavy and superheavy black holes in the very early universe is discussed. This mechanism predicts the log-normal mass spectrum of the primordial black holes, which became very popular during the last couple of years. The proposed mechanism presents a natural explanation of a large amount of the recent observational data, which do not fit the standard cosmology and astrophysics.
