description: This report presents a prototype best practice model for performing incident management processes and functions. It defines the model through five high-level incident management processes: Prepare/Sustain/Improve, Protect Infrastructure, Detect Events, Triage Events, and Respond. Workflow diagrams and descriptions are provided for each of these processes. One advantage of the model is that it enables examination of incident management processes that cross organizational boundaries, both internally and externally. This can help computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) improve their ability to collaborate with other business units and other organizations when responding to incidents. Future reports will extend this work and provide additional guidance to enable both newly forming and existing incident management capabilities to use the model to determine where gaps exist in their current processes and to develop plans for creating, improving, or restructuring their incident management processes. Although the processes defined in this document were originally developed for internal CSIRTs, the models and information presented here are applicable to other types of CSIRTs and other types of incident management and security management capabilities.

description: How and why have colonial-era Christian missions brought about social change in the long run? This paper addresses this question by causally estimating average and heterogeneous effects of colonial-era Christian missions on schooling, fertility, and household wealth in Nigeria. Our identification strategy exploits discontinuities in mission stations around the borders of the Emirates of Northern Nigeria, where missionary activities were restricted by the colonial administration. We find that areas with greater historical missionary activities have higher levels of schooling, lower levels of fertility, and higher household wealth today. Consistent with the predictions of a simple model, the long-run effect of missions on current schooling is not found in areas with early access to government schools, and is larger for population subgroups-women and Muslims-that have historically suffered disadvantages in access to education. Importantly, we show that the restriction of missions from the Emirates of Northern Nigeria has led to a reversal of fortunes, wherein areas that were more prosperous and institutionally developed in the past are relatively poorer today.

description: The Defense-in-Depth Foundational Curriculum is designed for students, ranging from system administrators to CIOs, who have some technical understanding of information systems and want to delve into how technical assurance issues affect their entire organizations. The course material takes a big-picture view while also reinforcing concepts presented with some details about implementation. Therefore, this course can be a useful pursuit for system administrators and IT security personnel who would like to step up to the management level. It also can provide a refresher for IT managers and executives who want to stay up to date on the latest technological threats facing their enterprises. The curriculum consists of eight main modules: (1) Compliance Management, (2) Risk Management, (3) Identity Management, (4) Authorization Management, (5) Accountability Management, (6) Availability Management, (7) Configuration Management, and (8) Incident Management. The document also contains an introduction, "Foundations of Information Assurance," which focuses on how the overarching concepts of confidentiality, integrity, and availability can lead to a comprehensive security strategy.

description: In this work, a sequence of orthonormal rational functions that is also biorthogonal to another sequence of rational functions arising from recurrence relations of $R_{II}$ type is constructed. The biorthogonality is proved by a procedure which we call Zhedanov method. A particular case of a sequence of orthonormal rational functions having denominators of special form is considered to motivate the general case. The particular case provides a Christoffel type transformation of the generalized eigenvalue problem with a reformulation different from the existing literature.

description: The research questions posed in this study are: * What organizations qualify for charitable status under Canadian tax law and regulations? * Is the Canadian definition of charitable status too broad? Too narrow? * Can other countries provide models for Canada with regard to definitions of charitable status? * What kind of tax measures are used by other countries to support charities? Have these measures resulted in demonstrably greater levels of charitable donations or a more robust charitable sector? To answer these questions, this study had the following objectives: * to determine how other countries have adjusted their definition of charitable status to achieve fairness and accommodate changing public perceptions of the nature of a charity; * to highlight the best mechanisms being used by other countries to ensure that qualified charitable organizations have access to the tax system for fundraising and other purposes; * to evaluate the comparative costs and benefits of alternative approaches to restructuring the tax system. The countries included in this survey are the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Japan.

description: The pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa (AN) has been hypothesized to involve several biological systems. However, reliable biomarkers for AN have yet to be established. This study was aimed to identify statistically significant and clinically meaningful peripheral biomarkers associated with AN. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies published in English from inception until 30 June 2022. We conducted two-level random-effects meta-analyses to examine the difference between AN and comparison groups across 52 distinct biomarkers and found that acylated ghrelin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks (CTX), cholesterol, cortisol, des-acyl ghrelin, ghrelin, growth hormone (GH), obestatin, and soluble leptin receptor levels were significantly higher in cases of AN compared with those in non-AN controls. Conversely, C-reactive protein (CRP), CD3 positive, CD8, creatinine, estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), free thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, glucose, insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), leptin, luteinizing hormone, lymphocyte, and prolactin levels were significantly lower in AN compared with those in non-AN controls. Our findings indicate that peripheral biomarkers may be linked to the pathophysiology of AN, such as processes of adaptation to starvation. Scientific investigation into peripheral biomarkers may ultimately yield breakthroughs in personalized clinical care for AN.

description: Software vulnerabilities are defects or weaknesses in a software system that if exploited can lead to compromise of the control of a system or the information it contains. The problem of vulnerabilities in fielded software is pervasive and serious. In 2012, Software Engineering Institute (SEI) researchers began investigating vulnerabilities reported to the SEI’s CERT® Division and determined that a large number of significant and pernicious software vulnerabilities likely had their origins early in the software development life cycle, in the requirements and design phases. A research project was launched to investigate design-related vulnerabilities and quantify their effects. The Data-Driven Software Assurance project examined the origins of design vulnerabilities, their mitigations, and the resulting economic implications. Stage 1 of the project included three phases: 1) conduct of a mapping study and literature review, 2) conduct of detailed vulnerability analyses, and 3) development of an initial economic model. The results of Stage 1 indicate that a broader initial focus on secure design yields substantial benefits to both the developer and operational communities and point to ways to intervene in the software development life cycle (or operations) to mitigate vulnerabilities and their impacts. This report describes Stage 1 activities and outlines plans for follow-on work in Stage 2.
Impact of roughness on the instability of a free-cooling granular gas

description: A linear stability analysis of the hydrodynamic equations with respect to the homogeneous cooling state is carried out to identify the conditions for stability of a granular gas of rough hard spheres. The description is based on the results for the transport coefficients derived from the Boltzmann equation for inelastic rough hard spheres [Phys. Rev. E 90, 022205 (2014)], which take into account the complete nonlinear dependence of the transport coefficients and the cooling rate on the coefficients of normal and tangential restitution. As expected, linear stability analysis shows that a doubly degenerate transversal (shear) mode and a longitudinal ("heat") mode are unstable with respect to long enough wavelength excitations. The instability is driven by the shear mode above a certain inelasticity threshold; at larger inelasticity, however, the instability is driven by the heat mode for an inelasticity-dependent range of medium roughness. Comparison with the case of a granular gas of inelastic smooth spheres confirms previous simulation results about the dual role played by surface friction: while small and large levels of roughness make the system less unstable than the frictionless system, the opposite happens at medium roughness. On the other hand, such an intermediate window of roughness values shrinks as inelasticity increases and eventually disappears at a certain value, beyond which the rough-sphere gas is always less unstable than the smooth-sphere gas. A comparison with some preliminary simulation results shows a very good agreement for conditions of practical interest.

description: This is the pre-published version harvested from ArXiv. The published version is located at http://iopscience.iop.org/2041-8205/719/2/L158
description: We present a method for investigating variations in the upper end of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) by probing the production rate of ionizing photons in unresolved, compact star clusters with ages ≤107 yr and with different masses. We test this method by performing a pilot study on the young cluster population in the nearby galaxy NGC5194 (M51a), for which multi-wavelength observations from the Hubble Space Telescope are available. Our results indicate that the proposed method can probe the upper end of the IMF in galaxies located out to at least ~10 Mpc, i.e., a factor 200 further away than what is possible by counting individual stars in young compact clusters. Our results for NGC5194 show no obvious dependence of the upper mass end of the IMF on the mass of the star cluster down to 103 M , although more extensive analyses involving lower mass clusters and other galaxies are needed to confirm this conclusion.

description: A raíz de mis estudios doctorales, tuve la oportunidad de profundizar en distintos modelos de regulación del territorio indígena a lo largo del continente americano a la luz del giro ontológico en la antropología; se trató de un estudio que buscó identificar si las distintas regulaciones respondían a las formas de percepción del entorno(s) de los pueblos indígenas. La respuesta fue compleja y variopinta, aunque se puede destacar, finalmente, que ese reconocimiento ontológico de los pueblos indígenas no se hace desde un punto de partida que, al menos, intente crear un espacio de neutralidad en la multiplicidad de ontologías de una sociedad pluriétnica, sino que se materializa a través de una mirada netamente occidental, a través de la protección de lo humano y su relacionamiento con las “cosas” (división cultura/naturaleza). En los años en los que desarrollé esta investigación, paralelamente, veía como muchas de las dificultades que se presentaban en escenarios protagonizados por abogados, recaían en la subestimación, la incapacidad de comprensión o simple desdén o indiferencia por las diferencias ontológicas en juego. Es común ver en los participantes de los procesos de consulta previa, las agencias de gobierno que toman decisiones sobre territorio indígena o los jueces de la república y altas cortes, que, al momento de enfrentarse a escenarios de multiplicidad de percepciones, prima un paradigma cultural, en donde todo parte de expresiones tales como: “es otra cultura”, “es un choque cultural” o “¿hasta dónde se debe proteger esa cultura?”

description: Objective To evaluate the impact of the entry of biosimilars on the pricing of eight biologic products in 57 countries and regions. Methods We utilized an interrupted time series design and IQVIA MIDAS® data to analyze the annual sales data of eight biologic products (adalimumab, bevacizumab, epoetin, etanercept, filgrastim, infliximab, pegfilgrastim, and trastuzumab) across 57 countries and regions from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2019. We examined the immediate and long-term changes in biologics ex-manufacturer pricing following the entry of biosimilars to the market. Results Following the entry of biosimilars, the average price per dose of biologic product was immediately reduced by $438 for trastuzumab, $112 for infliximab, and $110 for bevacizumab. The persistent effect of biosimilars' market entry led to further reductions in price per dose every year: by $49 for adalimumab, $290 for filgrastim, $21 for infliximab, and $189 for trastuzumab. Similarly, we analyzed the impact of biosimilars on four biologics' prices in the US, where the prices of three biologics significantly decreased every year, with filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, and infliximab decreasing by $955, $753, and $104, respectively. Conclusions The introduction of biosimilars has significantly reduced the prices of biologics both globally and in the US. These findings not only demonstrate the economic benefits of increasing biosimilar utilization, but also emphasize the importance of biosimilars in controlling healthcare costs. Policies should aim to expand the availability of biosimilars to counteract the exponential growth of medical spending caused by the use of biologics.

description: The Department of Defense (DoD) is increasingly acquiring complex systems that use commercial software to meet many of the systems' functional requirements. If the commercial software is a truly commercial product and will not be modified (for example, a commercial antivirus program), then for most systems, data rights do not become an issue. However, when the commercial software is based on proprietary software that is not available as a standard commercial product or will be modified such that the end product is no longer commercially available or is different from the standard commercial product (for example, a adding program specific capabilities to a database program), the DoD must consider what data rights are necessary. This paper * examines how data rights issues were addressed in the Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT) program * reviews additional concerns posed by the use of commercial software in the TSAT program's Space Segment, including safety and mission assurance, and how those concerns were addressed * reviews, in less detail, data rights concerns for software incorporated in the Global Positioning System program, and how those concerns were addressed

description: With the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, labour-force survey non-response rates have surged in many countries. We show that in the case of Canada, the bulk of this increase can be explained by the suspension of in-person interviews following the adoption of telework in Federal agencies, including Statistics Canada. Individuals with vulnerabilities to the Covid-19 economic shock—i.e., the young, low-educated, low-salary, low job-tenure individuals, and those working in occupations with low telework potential—have been harder to reach and have been gradually less and less represented in the Canadian Labour Force Survey (LFS) during the pandemic. Using exogenous variation in the assignment of individuals to the different LFS rotations, we present evidence suggesting that the decline in employment and labour-force participation have been underestimated over the March-July 2020 period. We believe, however, that these non-response biases have been moderate when contrasted with the unprecedented severity of the Covid-19 disruption. Furthermore, since attrition only represents a minor part of the non-response increase, we argue that one should not expect additional difficulties when using panels as compared to cross-sectional samples, and when using public-use LFS files instead of restricted-access files. All in all, the LFS remains a reliable data source for analyzing the economic impact of Covid-19 in a timely manner.
Data Model as an Architectural View

description: A data model is commonly created to describe the structure of the data handled in information systems and persisted in database management systems. That structure is often represented in entity-relationship diagrams or UML class diagrams. These diagrams basically show data entities and their relationships. The data model for a given system can be seen as an architectural view. Code units (e.g., classes, packages) and runtime components (e.g., processes, threads) are most commonly regarded as software architecture elements. However, a software architecture document may contain architectural views that show other types of elements beyond these first class software elements-a deployment view showing hardware nodes and deployment files is an example. The data model showing the structure of the database in terms of data entities and their relationships is another example. Among other practical purposes, the data model serves as the blueprint for the physical database, helps implementation of the data access layer of the system, and has strong impact on performance and modifiability. This technical note describes the elements, relations, constraints, and notations for the data model.

description: Using Markov Switching Autoregressive models the behaviour of four crime variables and unemployment rate during the period of study is investigated and different regimes for each variable determined. Using some nonparametric measures such as the Concordance Index (Harding and Pagan, 2002) and Independence of Chronologies (Bodman and Crosby, 2005), among others, the independency of cycles of unemployment rate and crime variables is tested. The results of this stage show that there is no relationship between unemployment rate and burglary and motor. However, for larceny and robbery the results are mixed and inconclusive. At the second stage, Markov Switching Vector Autoregressive models are also used to determine the states for both unemployment rate and each one of crime variable simultaneously. The results of this stage show that the effect of unemployment rate on larceny and motor depends on the state of the variables. For larceny this effect is either positive or null, and for motor it fluctuates among negative, null, and positive. Also the result shows that regardless of the state of the variables, the effect of unemployment on burglary and robbery is negative and null, respectively. / Nous utilisons des modèles de changement de régime pour analyzer le comportement du taux de chômage et quatre séries de criminalité. On utilise quelques mesures non-paramétriques telles que l’indice de concordance (Harding et Pagan, 2002) et l’indice d’indépendance des chronologies (Bodman et Crosby, 2005). Les résultats démontrent qu’il n’existe pas de relation entre le taux de chômage et le cambriolage et le vol des véhicules motorisés. Cependant, pour le vol et le pillage les résultats sont pas concluants. En la deuxième étape, des modèles des vecteurs autoregressives avec des changement des régimes sont utilisés pour déterminer les états du taux de chômage et chacune des variables de criminalité de façon simultanéee. Les résultats montrent que l’effet du taux de chômage sur le vol et le vol de véhicules motorisés sont dependant de l’état des variables. Pour la variable vol, l’effet est positif ou négatif. Pour le vol de véhicules motorisés l’effet est négatif, null et positif. Aussi, les résultats montrent que peu importe l’état des variables, l’effet du chômage sur le cambriolage et le pillage est négatif et null, respectiveent.

description: A classical particle oscillating in an arbitrary high-frequency or static field effectively exhibits a modified rest mass m_eff derived from the particle averaged Lagrangian. Relativistic ponderomotive and diamagnetic forces, as well as magnetic drifts, are obtained from the m_eff dependence on the guiding center location and velocity. The effective mass is not necessarily positive and can result in backward acceleration when an additional perturbation force is applied. As an example, adiabatic dynamics with m_|| > 0 and m_|| < 0 is demonstrated for a wave-driven particle along a dc magnetic field, m_|| being the effective longitudinal mass derived from m_eff. Multiple energy states are realized in this case, yielding up to three branches of m_|| for a given magnetic moment and parallel velocity.

description: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous, motile ciliopathy, characterized by neonatal respiratory distress, recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections, subfertility, and laterality defects. Diagnosis relies on a combination of tests for confirmation, including nasal nitric oxide (nNO) measurements, high-speed videomicroscopy analysis (HSVMA), immunofluorescent staining, axonemal ultrastructure analysis via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and genetic testing. Notably, there is no single gold standard confirmatory or exclusionary test. Currently, 54 causative genes involved in cilia assembly, structure, and function have been linked to PCD; this rare disease has a spectrum of clinical manifestations and emerging genotype–phenotype relationships. In this review, we provide an overview of the structure and function of motile cilia, the emerging genetics and pathophysiology of this rare disease, as well as clinical features associated with motile ciliopathies, novel diagnostic tools, and updates on genotype–phenotype relationships in PCD.

description: Esta investigación sienta las bases para postular “un debido proceso transcultural” y un posible control disciplinario a las autoridades indígenas que administran justicia, como respuesta a las barreras jurídicas que han encontrado las mujeres y niñas indígenas agredidas sexualmente por miembros de su comunidad y, que les ha impedido, hasta ahora, tener garantías de acceso efectivo a la justicia, ya sea a la que se dispensa desde el derecho propio y desde el contexto de autonomía jurisdiccional y diversidad étnica y cultural, o aquella que desde el derecho ordinario podría ofrecérseles. Esto, porque un balance jurisprudencial demuestra cómo, al menos hasta 2020, había una marcada preferencia constitucional por proteger el derecho a la autonomía jurisdiccional indígena, antes que los derechos de las víctimas de delitos de agresión, cuando unos y otros entraban en tensión, bajo una cláusula maximalista que favorecía la autonomía indígena. Igualmente, se toma como fundamento el realce que, desde la perspectiva de género, deben tener los derechos de las mujeres y niñas en situación de violencia sexual, entendiendo que aquellas gozan de una protección reforzada por cuanto sus derechos se ubican en la franja de protección del denominado “coto vedado”, entendido como una franja de derechos inalterables.
description: This research lays the foundations for applying “a transcultural due process” and a posible disciplinary control to the indigenous authorities who administer justice, as a response to the legal barriers that indigenous women and girls sexually assaulted by members of their community fase and that have prevented them, until now,, from having effective Access guarantees to justice, either to that of one´s right and since the context of jurisdictional autonomy and ethnic and cultural diversity, or that which from ordinary law cold be offered. This, because a jurisprudential balance shows how, at least ultil 2020, there was a marked constitutional preference to protect the right to a jurisdictional indigenour autonomy, before the aggression victims’ righs, when those going into a tension, under a maximalist clause which favored indigenous autonomy. Equally, that takes as foundation in the enhancement that, from a gender perspective, we have to apply in the rights of women and girls in sexual violence situation, understanding that they have a reinforced protection because their rights are located in the buffer strip of the called “coto vedado”, that means a buffer strip of unalterable rights.
Corporate Lobbying for Environmental Performance
Creators: name: Duan, Yuetong
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: This paper focuses on how corporate political strategies at the industry level influence salient political issues. In the context of recent climate change policy debates of the United States, I investigate the impact of lobbying on climate change. The theoretical model develops the claim that lobbying expenditures and activities of the clean industry has a negative impact on CO2 emissions, while that of the polluting industry have a positive impact. I test the hypothesis in the whole industry, which shows that lobbying expenditures and activities have a negative impact on CO2 emissions. I use a panel data regression to analyze CO2 emissions in the U.S. at the state-level from 2006 to 2017. The results are consistent with my hypothesis, suggesting that clean industries have a stronger negative lobbying effects on CO2 emissions than dirty ones.
Identification of heavy-flavour jets with the CMS detector in pp collisions at 13 TeV

description: Many measurements and searches for physics beyond the standard model at the LHC rely on the efficient identification of heavy-flavour jets, i.e. jets originating from bottom or charm quarks. In this paper, the discriminating variables and the algorithms used for heavy-flavour jet identification during the first years of operation of the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, are presented. Heavy-flavour jet identification algorithms have been improved compared to those used previously at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. For jets with transverse momenta in the range expected in simulated $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ events, these new developments result in an efficiency of 68% for the correct identification of a b jet for a probability of 1% of misidentifying a light-flavour jet. The improvement in relative efficiency at this misidentification probability is about 15%, compared to previous CMS algorithms. In addition, for the first time algorithms have been developed to identify jets containing two b hadrons in Lorentz-boosted event topologies, as well as to tag c jets. The large data sample recorded in 2016 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV has also allowed the development of new methods to measure the efficiency and misidentification probability of heavy-flavour jet identification algorithms. The heavy-flavour jet identification efficiency is measured with a precision of a few per cent at moderate jet transverse momenta (between 30 and 300 GeV) and about 5% at the highest jet transverse momenta (between 500 and 1000 GeV).

A Study of the Factors Affecting the Total Fertility Rate in South Korea
Creators: name: Lim, Juyoung
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: In 2014, the total fertility rate (TFR) of South Korea was 1.21 children per woman, which was the lowest level among OECD member countries, and also one of the lowest in the world. As the decline of the total fertility rate has been so rapid and the mortality rate has also declined sharply, the population of South Korea has been aging at a fast speed. If these circumstances persist, the financial burden of supporting aging people will place heavy pressure on young people, and the labour market will be strained by the decreasing productive population. To solve the low fertility problem, it is very important to find out what are the causes of low fertility. In this study, the model divides the factors causing a low fertility rate into two categories - demographic and values factors (the entry rate into tertiary education of women, the age at first marriage of women, and the crude divorce rate) and economic and social factors (the nominal GNI per capita, the female employment rate, and the ratio of educational cost to household consumption expenditure). Through correlation analysis and univariate regression analysis I find that each of the six independent variables has a negative correlation with the total fertility rate. Also, the results of the multiple regression analysis indicate that the three variables which are related to women have negative effects on the total fertility rate. However, the coefficients of the other three variables are not statistically significant. Thus, I suggest that the Korean government focus on support policies that help women to balance work and child-rearing to increase the total fertility rate.
