description: Reviews major economic theories of migration concentrating on their behavioural assumptions. Most of these theories assume homogenous optimising behaviour by economic agents. By contrast, Lipton assumes heterogeneity of group behaviour - rich persons optimise whereas poor persons are more reactive than proactive. hence the rural poor are more likely to be influenced in their migratory decisions by push factors are rather than by pull with the position reversed for the rural rich. The former factors associated in this article with thresholds or satisficing and the latter with optimising. To some extent, Nepalese data supports Lipton's hypothesis. Similarly, Lipton's hypothesis about difference in remitting behaviour of migrants from poor families and from rich families is supported.
In the Minds of People. Port-City Perspectives, the Case of Rotterdam
Creators: name: Harteveld, Maurice
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2021

description: Following the geographical ‘Any-Port Model’, urban design has stipulated and enforced the disunion of port and city over the recent decades. In conjunction with other disciplines, the emphasis has laid at dislocation of production activities in favor of logistic-productive dynamics. At the same time, professional focus was on the urban areas where most citizens are. While this practice has led to redevelopment of abandoned harbor areas too, foremost the approach stimulated stronger physical boundaries between lived city and the remaining and new harbor areas. This article describes the application of the dominant model in Rotterdam over the recent decades, on the base of literature review, and, it confronts this with the concepts of Rotterdam which are in the minds of professionals-in-training, through method of ‘mental mapping’. On the one hand, mainly harbor areas are memorized when respondents are asked to draw the port-city of Rotterdam, even though its efficient port infrastructure makes public space in these areas rare, and most harbors are located behind inaccessible borders. On the other hand, civic areas, which have a refined network of public spaces and are places for daily life, reveal also all kinds of tangible and intangible signs and symbols related to characteristics of the port-city when memorized; even more. Various elements, linked to water-land or the flows of goods, people, and ideas, dominate the minds of the people when they think of Rotterdam in general. These outcomes reconfirm the unique unity of port and city and provide a way to find an alternative or supplementary model accepting the complex nature of port-cities.

description: The geometric structure of an optimization landscape is argued to be fundamentally important to support the success of deep neural network learning. A direct computation of the landscape beyond two layers is hard. Therefore, to capture the global view of the landscape, an interpretable model of the network-parameter (or weight) space must be established. However, the model is lacking so far. Furthermore, it remains unknown what the landscape looks like for deep networks of binary synapses, which plays a key role in robust and energy efficient neuromorphic computation. Here, we propose a statistical mechanics framework by directly building a least structured model of the high-dimensional weight space, considering realistic structured data, stochastic gradient descent training, and the computational depth of neural networks. We also consider whether the number of network parameters outnumbers the number of supplied training data, namely, over- or under-parametrization. Our least structured model reveals that the weight spaces of the under-parametrization and over-parameterization cases belong to the same class, in the sense that these weight spaces are well-connected without any hierarchical clustering structure. In contrast, the shallow-network has a broken weight space, characterized by a discontinuous phase transition, thereby clarifying the benefit of depth in deep learning from the angle of high dimensional geometry. Our effective model also reveals that inside a deep network, there exists a liquid-like central part of the architecture in the sense that the weights in this part behave as randomly as possible, providing algorithmic implications. Our data-driven model thus provides a statistical mechanics insight about why deep learning is unreasonably effective in terms of the high-dimensional weight space, and how deep networks are different from shallow ones.

The nature of the tensions and disjunctures between aboriginal understandings of and responses to mental health and illness and the current mental health system
Creators: name: Smye, Victoria L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Aboriginal peoples continue to be affected by the mental health policies, structures, and social organization of the dominant culture which tends to exclude them. This study explored the nature o f the tensions and disjunctures between Aboriginal understandings of and responses to mental health and illness and the current mental health system. Using an ethnographic design informed by postcolonial and critical perspectives, in-depth individual interviews were conducted with Aboriginal people working in mental health and related fields; policy makers, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal; and nurses. A focus group interview was also conducted with health care providers (N=31). The 1998 Mental Health Plan and several documents of reform were also critiqued. Incorporating aspects of postcolonial theories, this study illustrates how dominant culture ideologies, mental health institutional policies, and everyday practices intersect to shape the tensions and disjunctures. Using the interview data and policy critiques, I describe how mental health institutions and policies support the embeddedness of an assimilation ethos - revealed as paternalistic care, ethnocentrism, and the notion of [im]partial policy decision-making. Aboriginal perspectives are largely excluded vis à vis the intersection of the dominance of the biomedical model (i.e., psychiatry) and the ongoing jurisdictional debate regarding who is responsible for Aboriginal mental health. Dominant cultural frameworks and a lack of clarity about who provides what are interwoven and reproduced in the everyday world of mental health service delivery, being marked by acts of omission, colonial ambivalence, and the normalization of Aboriginal suffering. Nevertheless, where normalization occurs, there are powerful points of Aboriginal collective resistance and healing. The study concludes by arguing for the development of critical consciousness to challenge sustaining ideologies, institutional discourses, and predominating practices that exclude Aboriginality. The concept of cultural safety, positioned with in postcolonial perspectives, is discussed as a means of fostering critical consciousness. By examining historically mediated relations of power, longstanding patterns of paternalism, ethnocentrism and assumptions about Aboriginality from a cultural safety lens, there is the potential to shift knowledge and attitudes in nursing and more broadly, in health care. Locating Aboriginal mental health and mental health care within its wider historical, social, political and economic context can help nurses to more fully contribute to social justice in the area of Aboriginal mental health.

description: Relying on a structured survey of 117 wives in four rural villages in the Midnapore District of West Bengal, this article investigates the influence on the intra-family status of wives of variables which may increase the bargaining power of wives in their family. Several indicators of status are considered and investigated using the ANOVA techniques and probit analysis. the main hypothesis considered is whether the results support bargaining theories of the intrahousehold status of wives or the view that gender status is primarily determined in Indian society by social customs and the patriarchal structure of society. given the overal patriarcgak structure of Indian Society, the results indicate that bargaining theories are at best only marginally relevant. Situations which result in greater bargaining power for wives in Western societies do not necessarily do so in north India given the total pervasiveness of its patriarchal society.

description: We present new non-Ricci-flat Kahler metrics with U(N) and O(N) isometries as target manifolds of superconformally invariant sigma models with an anomalous dimension. They are so-called Ricci solitons, special solutions to a Ricci-flow equation. These metrics explicitly contain the anomalous dimension and reduce to Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on the canonical line bundles over certain coset spaces in the limit of vanishing anomalous dimension.

description: Provides a brief account of the development of the Joint Forest Management Scheme in India, especially in West Bengal, the state where joint forest management has been most widely adopted and which provided the genesis of the scheme that was adopted as part of India’s Forest Policy 1988. The development, nature of and rationale for the scheme are discussed. Results to a survey of household heads in villages in the neighbourhood of state forests in the Midnapore region of West Bengal are reported. The survey provides information about the dependence of villagers on forest resources, the sustainability of current forest use as perceived by villagers, and reports their views about forest management issues, including the Joint Forest Management Scheme. The concerns of villagers about joint forest management are identified and analysed. It is suggested that some writers have been too ready to promote the sustainability and social welfare benefits of joint forest management as now practiced. Some of its important limitations are identified. While it is preferable to open-access, the system in India is as yet deficient in terms of communal and social management.

Protected percolation: a new universality class pertaining to heavily-doped quantum critical systems

description: We present the results of computer simulations on a class of percolative systems that forms a new universality class. We show the results for the critical exponents for this new class, inferred from simulations of two- and three-dimensional lattices consisting of up to one billion lattice sites. These new percolative systems differ from standard percolative systems in that once a cluster breaks off the lattice spanning cluster, its sites become protected and cannot be removed. This situation closely mimics the situation in heavily-doped quantum critical systems where isolated magnetic clusters are protected from (further) Kondo screening. Our results indicate that protected percolation violates the Harris criterion, which yields a natural explanation as to why universal exponents for quantum phase transitions have been elusive.

description: We obtain an analytical bound on the mean vertical convective heat flux $\langle w T \rangle$ between two parallel boundaries driven by uniform internal heating. We consider two configurations, one with both boundaries held at the same constant temperature, and the other one with a top boundary held at constant temperature and a perfectly insulating bottom boundary. For the first configuration, Arslan et al. (J. Fluid Mech. 919:A15, 2021) recently provided numerical evidence that Rayleigh-number-dependent corrections to the only known rigorous bound $\langle w T \rangle \leq 1/2$ may be provable if the classical background method is augmented with a minimum principle stating that the fluid's temperature is no smaller than that of the top boundary. Here, we confirm this fact rigorously for both configurations by proving bounds on $\langle wT \rangle$ that approach $1/2$ exponentially from below as the Rayleigh number is increased. The key to obtaining these bounds are inner boundary layers in the background fields with a particular inverse-power scaling, which can be controlled in the spectral constraint using Hardy and Rellich inequalities. These allow for qualitative improvements in the analysis not available to standard constructions.

description: A method is described for providing a levelling datum to a sea level record containing hourly heights (or similar) with the use of a second record from a nearby location consisting of high waters only but measured to a known datum. The method is tested using data from a pair of stations in the Thames estuary where there is a predominantly semidiurnal tide. It is then applied to the determination of a datum for an important historical sea level record at Liverpool. The historical background to that important record is explained. The limitations of the method are investigated using data from a pair of stations approximately 50 km apart on the north coast of Wales. This latter case study provides insight into which aspects of the tide contribute to inaccuracies in the method when the stations are some distance apart.

description: Knowledge spaces as diverse as universities, parliaments, and activist organisations are fraught with difficulty for those who do not easily “fit” into them. They are governed by discursive, behavioural, somatic, and material norms concerning who does or does not belong in them as well as which/whose knowledges are or are not to be considered credible. Thus, members of minoritised groups often have to negotiate their presence in hostile knowledge spaces in ways that go beyond abstract epistemological  considerations. In this paper, I discuss how LGBTIQ* activists and academics in Austria navigate knowledge spaces that may treat them as “space invaders”. Based on semi-structured interviews, I explore how participants may seek to de-emphasise or emphasise their mis-fit regarding the spaces they traverse. I examine examples of how such attempts may either not work in the first place or backfire in unintended ways, and their connections to wider societal norms and intersectional exclusions.

description: We have proposed an SEIR compartmental mathematical model. The prime objective of this study is to analyze and forecast the pandemic in Italy for the upcoming months. The basic reproduction number has been calculated. Based on the current situation in Italy, in this paper, we will estimate the possible time for the end of the pandemic in the country. The impact of lockdown and rapid isolation on the spread of the pandemic are also discussed. Further, we have studied four of the most pandemic affected regions in Italy. Using the proposed model, a prediction has been made about the duration of pandemic in these regions. The variation in the basic reproduction number corresponding to the sensitive parameters of the model is also examined.
Variation of the line profile moments for stars pulsating in distorted oblique non-radial modes
Creators: name: Kochukhov, O.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive expressions and develop a numerical technique for the analysis of the line profile moment variations for stars pulsating in oblique non-radial modes. This represents an extension of the widely used spectroscopic moment mode identification method to the oblique distorted pulsations observed in rapidly oscillating Ap stars. We demonstrate that a non-axisymmetric superposition of the pulsation and rotation velocity fields results in a qualitatively new behaviour of some of the line profile characteristics. It is found that for the majority of roAp stars the second moment varies with the pulsation frequency rather than with its first harmonic even for axisymmetric modes. We also identify pulsation observables which do not change during pulsation cycle but are modulated by the stellar rotation and can contribute to the variability of the stellar spectra averaged over many pulsation cycles. As an illustration of the new version of the moment technique, we compute rotational modulation of the pulsational changes of the line profile moments for the oblique axisymmetric dipolar pulsation modes with different parameters. It is also shown that a distortion of the oblique dipolar modes predicted by the recent theoretical studies of the stellar magneto-acoustic oscillations can be readily diagnosed through the moment analysis. In particular, the shape of the pulsation phase modulation for the radial velocity and the second moment is very sensitive to non-axisymmetric pulsation components, whereas the rotational modulation of the second moment amplitude is best suited to reveal axisymmetric magnetically induced distortion of pulsations.

description: Under pressure from external forces, involvement of Pacific Island nations in processes of globalisation and associated structural adjustment policies is being accelerated. Conditional aid and financial assistance from Bretton Woods' institutions and their 'relatives' such as the Asian Development Bank, as well as advice from donor countries, have played a significant role in these processes. these processes combined with reduced foreign aid and internal socioeconomic dynamics have resulted in major social conflicts and tensions in the Pacific Islands. Poverty in some Pacific Island nations, such as in the Solomon Islands, is already more serious than in Asia, including Bangladesh, and the situation is deteriorating with proportionall school enrolments falling and health services endangered. In fact, in some of the least developed nations in the Pacific 'de-development' is occurring.

description: Tackling gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) is an increasingly urgent task for higher education institutions (HEIs) globally. This article explores why HEIs take different approaches in the enactment of policies tackling GBVH. Through a comparative case study approach exploring two contrasting English HEIs, it focuses on one specific aspect of policy implementation that has been a particular challenge: formal report handling. One HEI had implemented national legal guidance in this area, while the other had not. In neither case were HEIs’ work in this area primarily driven by the national guidance; instead a proactive response in one HEI was shaped by a ‘watershed case’ of sexual violence. The article problematises analyses that homogenise the HE sector as taking a uniform approach on this issue, revealing a more complicated reality where institutional actors are highly aware of problems with institutional processes, and where cultures around GBVH shape policy implementation.

description: In male dominated societies like Kenya, men's superior status leading to power over women and control of valued resources, is supported by laws and policies that spell out and legitimise men's privileged and dominant status and is justified by religious, traditional, moral, and/or pseudo-scientific ideologies and beliefs. Such mechanisms and beliefs help to perpetuate gender inequality even in the face of structural changes that ought to diminish, if not completely undermine the strength of its operation. Institutionalised gender inequality limits women's participation in institutions and this reinforces their lack of empowerment. Women are unable to take advantage of the opening up of new markets and competition because they lack property rights; especially land rights that they can use as collateral for borrowing loans.

description: Survey data on which this paper is based were collected in a rural district in Kenya between December 2000 and January 2001. The main objective was to identify the factors that determine female participation in household decision-making. Our results suggest that bargaining models and resource theory cannot be applied in a society where customarily determined sex and social stratification systems place males higher than females and determines that only men make major decisions. Our results support the hypothesis that cultural theory is more significant than bargaining models or resource theories in determining women's participation in decision-making in Kenya.

Die empirischen Befunde zeigen, dass Pflegefachkräfte über Zeitarbeit individuelle Ansprüche an Pflegearbeit realisieren, die auf einen Wandel des beruflichen Selbstverständnisses hindeuten. Zeitarbeit wird als kritische Auseinandersetzung mit weiblich typisierten berufsethischen Normen interpretiert, die Selbstfürsorge vernachlässigen. Auf kollektiver Ebene lassen sich durch Zeitarbeit jedoch keine strukturellen Verbesserungen erzielen, weshalb sich die Nutzer*innen immer auch in einem ambivalenten Verhältnis zwischen individuellen und kollektiven Ansprüchen bewegen.

description: This work is a study of some possible background sources in the XENON1T environment which might affect the energy spectrum of electronic recoil events in the lower side and might contribute to the observed excess. We have identified some additional possible backgrounds, like $^{41}$Ca, $^{49}$V, $^{63}$Ni, $^{106}$Ru and $^{125}$Sb coming from cosmogenic production, where the former two emit monoenergetic $X$-rays and the latter three have $β$ decays, or isotopes, like $^{210}$Pb, from the decay chain of $^{222}$Rn emanated in liquid xenon from the materials, or isotopes, like $^{137}$Cs, produced due to neutron capture. We perform a $χ^2$ fitting of the ER spectrum from these backgrounds along with tritium to the observed excess events by varying their individual rates to understand whether they can be present to contribute to the low energy excess or their presence is constrained from the data. We also study the possibility of simultaneous presence of more than one such backgrounds, and how this affects the rates required by individual backgrounds to explain the excess.

description: This paper uses data collected from migrant's wives in the Nyeri district of Kenya. The main objective is to determine whether migration and remittances contribute to the development of agriculture. Our results suggest that most migrants are pushed out of rural areas, belong to the group of low-paid workers in urban areas, send little and irregular remittances to their wives back in rural areas and that these remittances are mainly used for consumption purposes and do not contribute to any significant development in agriculture. Our results also indicate that altruism or social obligation might be the main reason for migrants sending remittances to their rural wives.

However, much of this research has ignored the question of why consumers actually care about fairness. The focus on price fairness suggests that consumers are primarily concerned with their material well-being. However, research in other areas, in particular organizational psychology, suggests that consumers might also react to unfairness because it can convey a lack of respect. This work has been studied under the rubric of procedural justice. In its strictest sense, procedural justice refers to the fairness of the policies and procedures that are used to determine outcomes. However, one of the reasons procedures are considered important is because they can also convey important information relating to individuals' social standing. It is argued that consumers react to unfairness in exchange not just because it can influence their material outcomes, but also because it reflects perceptions of their social standing. It is further suggested that procedural unfairness stems from the violation of important social norms that reflect consumers' expectations for the way they should be treated. Study 1 showed that the violation of a norm of consistency led to perceptions of unfairness, even when the violation could not have affected consumers' material outcome. Study 2 demonstrated that consumers considered it unfair when openness was violated. In this case, openness was violated when consumers were not told of an upcoming sale. This was considered unfair even when the information could not have affected their material outcome. In both studies, the effect of norm violation on perceptions of fairness was mediated by procedural justice. The final study demonstrated that normative violations affected procedural justice because they lowered consumers' self-esteem, especially those consumers with high trait self-esteem. In contrast to much of the existing work in marketing, the present research indicates that fairness concerns have an important social component. Not only does unfairness undermine consumers' claims to allocations of material outcomes, but it can also have a detrimental effect on perceptions of their social standing and self evaluations.

description: The first well-localized short-duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs), GRB 050509b, GRB 050709 and GRB 050724, could have been the narrowly beamed initial spike of a burst/hyper flare of soft gamma ray repeaters (SGRs) in host galaxies at cosmological distances. Such bursts are expected if SGRs are young hyperstars, i.e. neutron stars where a considerable fraction of their neutrons have converted to hyperons and/or strange quark matter.

description: This study examines the audiovisual translation of queer language, elements, and themes through a contrastive analysis of the Italian reception of the movie “If These Walls Could Talk II”, created by HBO in 2000 and the British series “Sex Education”, first released in January 2019 on Netflix. Several scholars have investigated the role of queer topics in translation, highlighting the tendency to censor potentially problematic or ideologically marked concepts in the target culture. The aim is to call attention to the level of censorship, the strategies related to the period of production and distribution, genre, and reception throughout a diachronic analysis which accounts for audiovisual products circulating with almost twenty years of distance. The research’s findings highlight a strict relationship among prevailing ideology, temporality and censorship in the Italian rendering of queer language and offer some new perspectives to manage the language of queer related issues.

description: In 2000, household heads of three villages located in or near forests in the south of West Bengal, India, were interviewed using a structured questionnaire1. The questionnaire is attached as an Appendix to this paper. The questions asked were designed to provide information about the extent of the dependence of households on state forests for their livelihood (cash income and subsistence needs), any differences in the degree of their forest dependence according to gender, threats to the sustainability of forest resources, the expected sustainability of the income of villagers from forest resources, as well as to provide data about forest management practices, such as a joint forest management. The latter involves cooperation between villagers and the West Bengal Forest Department. The villagers undertake to protect trees in their nearby state forest from pilfering in return for a quarter of the net income from sales of commercial timber by the Forest Department. An overview and assessment and general results of the surveys can be found in Clem Tisdell, Kartik Roy and Ananda Ghose, “Villagers and the Use of Conservation of Indian Forests: The Role of Joint Forest Management”, Social Economics, Policy and Development, Working Paper No.17, June 2001. The purpose of this present paper is to provide more detailed data summaries. The data are provided firstly for the three villages combined then for each individual village (Atabanda, Barabugpichla and Chandmura). All the villagers surveyed belonged to the Santal scheduled tribe. These three villages are located in the north Midnapore region north of Salbani, with Chandrakona Road being the nearest township. The general location of the survey area is indicated in Figure 1.1. The total sample consisted of 96 household heads, representing virtually all families in the villages of Atabanda (32 household heads). Barabugpichla (29) and Chandmura (35). The particular location of these villages is shown in Figure 1.2. Of these villages, Chandmura was most closely associated with the Arabari forest that, as mentioned earlier, was the scene of the earliest experiments with joint forest management in India.

description: Clinical trials are the basis of Evidence-Based Medicine. Trial results are reviewed by experts and consensus panels for producing meta-analyses and clinical practice guidelines. However, reviewing these results is a long and tedious task, hence the meta-analyses and guidelines are not updated each time a new trial is published. Moreover, the independence of experts may be difficult to appraise. On the contrary, in many other domains, including medical risk analysis, the advent of data science, big data and visual analytics allowed moving from expert-based to fact-based knowledge. Since 12 years, many trial results are publicly available online in trial registries. Nevertheless, data science methods have not yet been applied widely to trial data. In this paper, we present a platform for analyzing the safety events reported during clinical trials and published in trial registries. This platform is based on an ontological model including 582 trials on pain treatments, and uses semantic web technologies for querying this dataset at various levels of granularity. It also relies on a 26-dimensional flower glyph for the visualization of the Adverse Drug Events (ADE) rates in 13 categories and 2 levels of seriousness. We illustrate the interest of this platform through several use cases and we were able to find back conclusions that were initially found during meta-analyses. The platform was presented to four experts in drug safety, and is publicly available online, with the ontology of pain treatment ADE.

description: This article analyses the main patterns of a culture and gender specific violence phenomenon among the Mossi of Burkina Faso: The sweba phenomenon. Women are accused, deprived of their livelihood, violently expelled from their villages, and permanently socially excluded. Based on qualitative and quantitative evidence from 1965–2009 of the two biggest shelters in the capital Ouagadougou, the argument is made that sweba accusations are the main reasons for female poverty and homelessness which rose at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s to a significant extend and led to change in social care structures. Conflicts over land use, economic interests, and a rising misogynist environment play a main role in the deprivation of women’s rights. In this context, the term “witchcraft” is part of a legitimizing discourse that helps hiding multiple forms of violence against women and must be rejected.

description: Magnetic helicity is conserved under ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and quasi-conserved even under a resistive process. The standard definition for magnetic helicity cannot be applied directly to an open magnetic field in a volume, because it is gauge-dependent. Instead, the relative magnetic helicity is widely used. We find that the energy of a potential magnetic field in a rectangular domain with periodic lateral boundary conditions is less than that of the field with a fixed normal component on all six boundaries. To make use of this lower energy potential field in the analysis of relative magnetic helicity, we introducing a new definition for magnetic helicity for the magnetic field, which involves the periodic potential field. We apply this definition to a sequence of analytic solutions and a numerical simulation. The results show that our new gauge-invariant helicity is very close to the current-carrying part of the relative magnetic helicity of the original magnetic field. We find also that the ratio between the current-carrying helicity and the relative magnetic helicity for the original and our defined relative helicity show different behavior. It seems that the new helicity is more sensitive to the component of the field due to the electric current in the volume, which is the source for instabilities and solar eruptive phenomena.
