description: We show that the computational power of the non-causal circuit model, i.e., the circuit model where the assumption of a global causal order is replaced by the assumption of logical consistency, is completely characterized by the complexity class~$\operatorname{\mathsf{UP}}\cap\operatorname{\mathsf{coUP}}$. An example of a problem in that class is factorization. Our result implies that classical deterministic closed timelike curves (CTCs) cannot efficiently solve problems that lie outside of that class. Thus, in stark contrast to other CTC models, these CTCs cannot efficiently solve~$\operatorname{\mathsf{NP-complete}}$ problems, unless~$\operatorname{\mathsf{NP}}=\operatorname{\mathsf{UP}}\cap\operatorname{\mathsf{coUP}}=\operatorname{\mathsf{coNP}}$, which lets their existence in nature appear less implausible. This result gives a new characterization of~$\operatorname{\mathsf{UP}}\cap\operatorname{\mathsf{coUP}}$ in terms of fixed points.

Transition probability spaces in loop quantum gravity

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences
subject: 83C45, 81P10, 18D10

description: We study the (generalized) transition probability spaces, in the sense of Mielnik and Cantoni, for spacetime quantum states in loop quantum gravity. First, we show that loop quantum gravity admits the structures of transition probability spaces. This is exemplified by first checking such structures in covariant quantum mechanics, and then identify the transition probability spaces in spin foam models via a simplified discrete version of general boundary formulation. The transition probability space thus defined gives a simple way to reconstruct the discrete analog of the Hilbert space of the canonical theory and the relevant quantum logical structures. Second, we show that the transition probability space and in particular the spin foam model are 2-categories. Then we discuss how to realize in spin foam models two proposals by Crane about the mathematical structures of quantum gravity, namely the quantum topos and causal sites. We conclude that transition probability spaces provide us with an alternative framework to understand various foundational questions of loop quantum gravity.

Maintaining Close and Intimate Relationships by Migrant Peasant Families at the Beginning of the 20th Century
Creators: name: Dolińska, Anna
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: Polish peasants; migration to America; family

description: In the proposed article and its presentist approach, I raise the question about the nature of close, intimate relationships in Polish peasant families from the early twentieth century, which were separated by migration and maintained contact with their family members through letters, with reference to three chosen series of letters (the Stelmach family, the Topolski family and the Makowski family) from The Polish Peasant in Europe and America by W. Thomas and F. Znaniecki. Referring to the paradigm of transnationalism, modern phenomena and research categories associated with migration of families, I try to show how the chosen peasant families tried to experience togetherness and feelings across borders in the pre-technology era.

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Education
subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: This research explored the experiences and perspectives of Australian Sudanese and South Sudanese youth regarding their transition to adulthood in Melbourne, Australia. The findings of this study suggest that these young people view this transition as being based on internally self-ascribed character traits and values, with the purpose of being able to contribute within one’s collective community. However, these views were found to also be influenced by contextual factors in Australia, such as discrimination and diminished opportunities, which may create barriers to a perceived successful transition to adulthood for these youths.

Year: 2018

description: This research project was aimed to describe the challenge and prospects of mobile and agent banking adoption in Ethiopian banking industry. In order to achieve the objective of this study and answer the research questions the researcher adopted mixed research approach. This descriptive study was conducted based on the data gathered from purposively selected e-banking staffs of the six banks commencing mobile and agent banking; Commercial bank of Ethiopia Dashen Bank, United Bank, Lion International Bank, Wegagen bank and Cooperative Bank of Oromia. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study revealed that environmental (lack of adequate ICT infrastructure, poor quality of internet and mobile network, inconsistent power & network supply in rural areas of the country), organizational (lack of support & commitment of top level management, lack of availability of well trained manpower to build agent network, lack of skill of IT personnel, lack of technical an d managerial skill of staffs), and technological (lack of confidence with the security aspect, customer's fear of risk of new technology innovation, and lack of availability of physical security) are challenges of adopting mobile and agent banking. The study also revealed that, the major prospects of adopting mobile and agent banking classified under perceived ease and perceived usefulness are simplicity to perform banking tasks, easiness to understand and use, friendliness with the existing service offering, improving customer service being a solution for banks closing their doors early, motivates fast small cash movers to put their extra money into the banking system, creating wider market coverage for the bank, increases the productivity of banks, enhance customer service, and accessibility of service without limit of time and place. The study recommended banks to consider technology based competition, regulatory body to issue suitable legal frameworks to ease the adoption of mobile and agent banking syste m while the government should support banking sector by investing on ICT infrastructure development and financial education program.

The Impact of Gender Ideology, Environmental and Individual Resources on Achievement and Postsecondary Field of Study
Creators: name: KATE AMANDA LAFFERTY
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Education

description: In Australian universities, there is an ongoing and persistent trend of gender segregation across postsecondary fields of study. The research in this thesis examines some of the mechanisms that may be influencing this, specifically social gender norms and environmental and individual resources. Utilising a quantitative approach, the research models the interrelationships between these resources and conformity to and endorsement of gender norms and the postsecondary field of study and academic achievement levels. It addresses the question, to what extent, and in what ways, do factors such as gender ideology and environmental and individual resources predict achievement levels and choice of university course selection amongst Victorian undergraduate university students?

Publisher: name: QuiEdit

Subjects: values; Florian Znaniecki; William Isaac Thomas

description: One of the central concepts of The Polish Peasant in Europe and America, especially highlighted in the Methodological Note, is the relationship between values and attitudes which frames the subsequent empirical analyses and conlusions. The aim of the present article is to reconstruct Florian Znaniecki’s early idea of values in order to demonstrate its originality and later influence on his sociological contributions. As the author argues, Znaniecki’s early insights with regard to values allow us to reconsider his collaboration with William Thomas and to interpret The Polish Peasant as a part of Znaniecki’s long-term research programme.

Comparative effect of an addition of a surface term to the Woods-Saxon potential on the thermodynamics of a nucleon
Creators: name: Lütfüoğlu, B. C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this study, we reveal the difference between Woods-Saxon (WS) and Generalized Symmetric Woods-Saxon (GSWS) potentials in order to describe the physical properties of a nucleon, by means of solving Schrödinger eq. for the two potentials. The additional term squeezes the WS potential well, which leads an upward shift in the spectrum, resulting in a more realistic picture. The resulting GSWS potential does not merely accommodate extra quasi bound states, but also has modified bound state spectrum. As an application, we apply the formalism to a real problem, an $α$ particle confined in Bohrium-$270$ nucleus. The thermodynamic functions Helmholtz energy, entropy, internal energy, specific heat of the system are calculated and compared for both wells. The internal energy and the specific heat capacity increase as a result of upward shift in the spectrum. The shift of the Helmholtz free energy is a direct consequence of the shift of the spectrum. The entropy decreases because of a decrement in the number of available states.

description: Sound credit management is a prerequisite for a financial institutions stability and continuing profitability, while deteriorating credit quality is the most frequent cause of poor financial performance and condition. These research asses the practice and effectiveness of credit management in united bank s.co. Therefore the purpose of undertaking this study is to explore the credit management practice in united bank s.co and to see the possible factor that influence the credit management activity of the bank and to suggest possible solution for those factor affecting the bank credit management process negatively. For the purpose of the study both primary and secondary data is used. Primary data is collected using semi structured questionnaire and interview. The secondary data is collected from the bank's audited annual reports(2013-2017), directives, credit policy and procedure of the bank and bulletins of the bank. Based on the nature of the study the research design is descriptive with a qualitative research method. Descriptive statistical tools are used to analyze the data collected. Hence, the nature of the Study is descriptive. The research found that lack of credit follow up by branches, lack of information system to support the credit risk grading system of the bank, branches negligence to the credit policy and procedure of the bank when exercising their discretionary lending limit, will full default by borrower, borrower lack of knowledge on loan usage, fund diversion for unintended purpose, and centralized decision making by the bank influence the attainment of successful credit management at united bank s.co. Also on a positive note the banks credit policy and procedure is in line with NBE's rules and regulation. Also for the year under consideration the bank NPL to Term loan ratio is under 5% which is set by the NBE. Finally based on this findings recommendations are given. These includes keeping up with the current portfolio quality, to strictly adhere & implement the banks credit policy and procedure, to take up pre-audit a part of the credit analysis process, managing the length of hour it take to process one loan request.

Subjects: Education

description: Throughout recorded history and in all cultures, the need to survive has been widely considered to be the instinct most fundamental to all human beings. But our acceptance of this as a law of nature confronts us all with a dilemma: How can we give up the pursuit of ongoing life and prepare for death? In an age of dwindling belief in an afterlife coupled with increasing longevity, health policy managers and private individuals alike are regularly confronted with this paradox. The experience of the participants in this research who met death with acceptance shows how these incompatible propositions can be reconciled.

description: We describe an algorithmic method of proof compression based on the introduction of Pi_2-cuts into a cut-free LK-proof. The current approach is based on an inversion of Gentzen s cut-elimination method and extends former methods for introducing Pi_1-cuts. The Herbrand instances of a cut-free proof pi of a sequent S are described by a grammar G which encodes substitutions defined in the elimination of quantified cuts. We present an algorithm which, given a grammar G, constructs a Pi_2-cut formula A and a proof phi of S with one cut on A. It is shown that, by this algorithm, we can achieve an exponential proof compression.

Narrating the Self between Heterodoxy and Tradition. The Use of Personal Documents in Late Modernity
Creators: name: Toscano, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: narrations; symbolic interactionism; autoethnography

description: Thomas and Znaniecki’s highly celebrated contribution to the methodology of social research is mainly due to the kind of data they used in their well-known work The Polish Peasant: an enormous number of personal documents. However, treating autobiographies and personal narratives as empirical data can raise objections not only because they are reconstructive experiences, but also due to the formal characteristics of the narrative reconstruction. A tale of one’s own life is, to all intents and purposes, a literary genre, which consists of a subjective selection of facts reported following rhetorical and stylistic conventions. Fiction narratives and reality narratives actually belong to the same continuum and this is quite clear from the recent trend in mixing different genres. Fictional tales are sometimes loosely based on real events. Surveys, inquiries, reports, diaries and pamphlets are often made up of a patchwork of reality and fiction. The boundaries between entertainment and information tend to disappear. In the light of this new scenario, what are the outcomes of the use of biographical documents in sociological research? Many symbolic interactionists have moved away from orthodoxy, proposed a radical use of biography and autobiographies, introduced new ways of reporting - even borrowing from the arts - and developed new techniques such as autoethnography. The aim of this paper is to analyze and discuss some recent trends in the use of personal documents, highlighting the various needs they can fulfill by improving and deepening hermeneutic approaches, and, on the other hand, the possible risks and drawbacks of the most radical choices and experimentations.

description: Inactivity (i.e., not meeting physical activity guidelines) predicts a host a non-communicable illnesses and diseases and all-cause mortality. 25.8% of middle-to older-aged adults do not meet physical activity guidelines. For these reasons, policymakers have sought to find acceptable, feasible and effective ways to engage middle-to older-aged adults. Sports-based interventions are a hallmark provision to address inactivity in the United Kingdom. Typically, these programmes include adapted version of sports such as football for older populations in an effort to improve a range physical, mental, and psychosocial health outcomes. However, while there is sound evidence of the benefits of participation, less is known to how, where, when, and for whom these benefits occur, and in what context these changes happen. For this reason, a realist scoping review will be undertaken. Extracted data will be used to shape a programme-theory for football-based interventions.

Planar triangulations, bridgeless planar maps and Tamari intervals

description: We present a direct bijection between planar 3-connected triangulations and bridgeless planar maps, which were first enumerated by Tutte (1962) and Walsh and Lehman (1975) respectively. Previously known bijections by Wormald (1980) and Fusy (2010) are all defined recursively. Our direct bijection passes by a new class of combinatorial objects called "sticky trees". We also present bijections between sticky trees, intervals in the Tamari lattices and closed flows on forests. With our bijections, we recover several known enumerative results about these objects. We thus show that sticky trees can serve as a nexus of bijective links among all these equi-enumerated objects.

description: The main aim of this study was to identify and examining the macroeconomic and bank-specific factors that determine private commercial banks' lending performance in Ethiopia. In order to achieve this objective, data was collected from eight private commercial banks in Ethiopia operating over the period from 2007 to 2016. Four bank-specific (bank size, customer deposit, nonperforming loan and advance and liquidity) and three macroeconomic (cash reserve requirement, interest rate and gross domestic product) variables were analyzed by using the random effect regression model. The study revealed that bank size, cash reserve requirement and interest rate had positive and significant impact; while nonperforming loan and advance and interest rate had negative and significant impact on private commercial banks' lending performance in Ethiopia. However, customer deposit and gross domestic product had no statistically significant impact on private commercial banks' lending performance in Ethiopia. The study suggests that the private commercial banks operating in Ethiopia should work towards minimizing their nonperforming loans and advances to improve their lending performance; should give due attention on pricing of their loan and advance and consider the macroeconomic environment while developing their strategies.
Stakeholders’ perspectives on academic professional development: A case study of a university in Vietnam using positioning theory analysis

Subjects: Education

description: Academic professional development (APD) involves multiple stakeholders. However, not all of their voices are presented in the literature. This thesis explores how academics, academic administrators, and academic developers at a Vietnamese regional university perceive APD. The qualitative case study reported in this thesis generated data from 36 semi-structured interviews and policy documents. From a positioning theoretical perspective, this study has potential to (re-)conceptualize APD, and extend our understanding of APD, its significance, and success. This study also illustrates the value of positioning theory in APD research, and potentially helps to inform academics and higher education institutions in shaping APD.

description: Minimum divergence methods are popular tools in a variety of statistical applications. We consider tubular model adequacy tests, and demonstrate that the new divergences that are generated in the process are very useful in robust statistical inference. In particular we show that the family of $S$-divergences can be alternatively developed using the tubular model adequacy tests; a further application of the paradigm generates a larger superfamily of divergences. We describe the properties of this larger class and its potential applications in robust inference. Along the way, the failure of the first order influence function analysis in capturing the robustness of these procedures is also established.

When I Hear the Word Migrant... Research on Images and Stereotypes with Sentence Completion Technique
Creators: name: Veutro, Maria Fobert
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2020
Subjects: images of migrants; ethnicity and gender; Sentence Completion Test

description: In 2016 I conducted a study on the images of migrants, interviewing 100 people living in a small Sicilian town. We used a tool that I created ad hoc, inspired by the Sentence Completion Test. Subjects were asked to complete 44 incomplete sentences. Here are some examples: About immigrants I like..., The ethnic groups I know are..., Immigrants think that we Italians are, Romanian women..., etc. The analysis can be carried out with both quantitative procedures– classifying the completions of each sentence – both qualitative, like in this investigation, interpreting protocol by protocol the completions of each subject also in the light of the same subject’s completions of the other sentences. The results obtained encourage us to consider the instrument used as valid: for the most part it does not offer pre-established meanings and it seems effective in detecting deeply internalized values. Two of the problems that have emerged regard the alarm about the danger of dissolving our culture and traditions, and the unpleasant impression of stubborn attitudes of isolation and the reluctance of foreigners to integrate in the context of acceptance. Regarding attitudes towards foreign women, it has emerged that Romanian women appear enterprising, strong, free, and ‘breadwinners’ – they deviate from the classic female model and therefore cause concern; unlike Muslim women, who are considered to be weak and submissive. As for the words to be used, what emerged suggests the term ‘migrant’ rather than ‘immigrant’ should be used because the former promotes empathy and identification. Moreover, the term ‘foreigner’ should be preferred to ‘non-EU national’ because the latter probably arouses a greater sense of foreignness and distance and therefore is a little more threatening.

description: The efficient calculation of Hamiltonian spectra, a problem often intractable on classical machines, can find application in many fields, from physics to chemistry. Here, we introduce the concept of an "eigenstate witness" and through it provide a new quantum approach which combines variational methods and phase estimation to approximate eigenvalues for both ground and excited states. This protocol is experimentally verified on a programmable silicon quantum photonic chip, a mass-manufacturable platform, which embeds entangled state generation, arbitrary controlled-unitary operations, and projective measurements. Both ground and excited states are experimentally found with fidelities >99%, and their eigenvalues are estimated with 32-bits of precision. We also investigate and discuss the scalability of the approach and study its performance through numerical simulations of more complex Hamiltonians. This result shows promising progress towards quantum chemistry on quantum computers.

description: This study explores the process of becoming academic through the stories of 14 Vietnamese women academics and doctoral students in Australian universities. It engages with and expands the literature on academic subjectivity by drawing on the Deleuzian concept of assemblage and its related concepts. Data were generated from 27 interviews with the women. The findings highlight that becoming academic is within arrangements that involve people, things, actions, feelings, words and ideas that are in constant relation to wider social dimensions. The findings offer complex social forces in shaping becoming academic and possibilities for creating new relations within academic spaces.

description: Bose condensation has shaped our understanding of macroscopic quantum phenomena, having been realized in superconductors, atomic gases, and liquid helium. Excitons are bosons that have been predicted to condense into either a superfluid or an insulating electronic crystal. Using the recently developed momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (M-EELS), we study electronic collective modes in the transition metal dichalcogenide semimetal, 1T-TiSe$_2$. Near the phase transition temperature, T$_c$ = 190 K, the energy of the electronic mode falls to zero at nonzero momentum, indicating dynamical slowing down of plasma fluctuations and crystallization of the valence electrons into an exciton condensate. Our study provides compelling evidence for exciton condensation in a three-dimensional solid and establishes M-EELS as a versatile technique sensitive to valence band excitations in quantum materials.

description: Let $c_q(n)$ be the Ramanujan sums. Many results concerning Ramanujan-Fourier series $f(n)=\sum_{q=1}^\infty a_q c_q (n)$ are obtained by many mathematicians. In this paper we study series of the form $f(q)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n c_q (n)$, which we call dual Ramanujan-Fourier series. We extend Lucht's theorem and Delange's theorem to this case and obtain some results.
