description: This article provides information about the importance of engaging students in spiritual and educational activities in schools. Currently, one of the most priority directions in the field of education is the quality education program. It is necessary to ensure the activeness of students at school and in contests and events at the national level. In this regard, it is necessary to organize various spiritual and educational contests such as "Essay Contest", "Literacy", "Fictional and Prose Works", "Ghazals and Rubaiy" by the school management. In these activities, the student acquires new knowledge, his views on education, his thinking potential, vocabulary increases. Students develop the ability to think freely and speak fluently. Knowledgeable and intelligent students are encouraged. This will increase the students' interest in the activities and gain the understanding of the correct use of opportunities in the field of education.

description: A nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model (NHMM) is used to make stochastic simulations of March–August daily rainfall at 10 stations over the southeastern United States, 1923–98. Station-averaged observed daily rainfall amount is prescribed as an input to the NHMM, which is then used to disaggregate the rainfall in space. These rainfall simulations are then used as inputs to a Crop Estimation through Resource and Environment Synthesis (CERES) crop model for maize. Regionally averaged yields derived from the NHMM rainfall simulations are found to correlate very highly (r = 0.93) with those generated by the crop model using observed rainfall; stationwise correlations range between 0.44 and 0.74. Rainfall and crop simulations are then constructed under increasing degrees of temporal smoothing applied to the regional rainfall input to the NHMM, designed to exclude the submonthly weather details that would be unpredictable in seasonal climate forecasts. Regional yields are found to be remarkably insensitive to this temporal smoothing; even with 90-day low-pass-filtered inputs to the NHMM, resulting yields are still correlated at 0.85 with the baseline simulation, whereas stationwise correlations range between 0.18 and 0.68. From these findings, it is expected that regional maize yields over the southeastern United States will be largely insensitive to year-to-year details of subseasonal rainfall variability; they should be downscalable, in principle, using an NHMM from climate forecasts archived at daily resolution, with the important caveat that the latter need to be skillful enough at the 90-day time scale. As a by-product of the analysis, subseasonal-to-interdecadal summer rainfall variability over the southeastern United States is interpretable in terms of six discrete weather states indicative of a monsoonlike climate regime. Low-simulated-yield years are found to be associated with delayed summer rainfall onset.
title: Pedagogical studies in virtual offshore safety training
Creators: name: Smith, Jennifer Joan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: To better prepare the offshore workforce for emergencies, operators and regulators need to use evidence-based safety training. This research aims to provide such evidence by employing an experimental program to evaluate virtual environment (VE) training as a plausible means to enhance mandatory offshore egress training. Combining VE technology with a well-designed, pedagogically informed training program, and carefully selected data-mining tools, can support the development of trainee competence in emergencies by providing artificial experience in credible situations and tracking trainee performance throughout the VE training.
 Evidence from this research supports the use of VE training to address pedagogical gaps in the training. Key gaps include the following: 1) conventional training is predominantly provided by fixed-time instruction, which results in crews with nominal competence, 2) the frequency of recurrency training is not informed by evidence on crews’ susceptibility to forget training, 3) crews’ learning outcomes are not measured or monitored, which results in no information to assess training transfer, and 4) due to safety constraints, muster drills lack the realism of how emergency situations unfold in real life.
 Lessons from pedagogical theory and data-mining methodology were used to provide empirical and modeling evidence to inform offshore and maritime domains on the application of VE training. The scope of the research involved using the VE training as a human behaviour laboratory during a longitudinal study. The context of the study was to teach the necessary egress skills to evacuate a virtual oil platform during an emergency.
 To address the pedagogical gaps and evaluate VE training, this thesis is comprised of four research papers. The first paper investigates the influence of the simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) pedagogical framework on the development of competence at the different learning phases, specifically the acquisition, retention, and transfer of egress skills. The second paper uses human performance data from the VE training to develop a decision tree (DT) diagnostic tool to compare the efficacy of different delivery methods for VE training. The third paper evaluates the retention and maintenance of the VE training after a period of 6 to 9-months. The fourth paper uses DT modeling to evaluate skill transfer and develop a predictive tool to analyze the efficacy of VE training on a systemic level to support future adaptive training programs.
 The overall contribution of this research is the use of pedagogical frameworks and data-mining tools to improve the design, delivery, and assessment, of VE training. The concept of this work is established in the context of offshore and maritime safety, however the approaches are generalizable to many virtual training applications in other domains.

description: Presented at the Environmental justice in the Anthropocene symposium held on April 24-25, 2017 at the Lory Student Center, Colorado State University, Fort Collins Colorado. This symposium aims to bring together academics (faculty and graduate students), independent researchers, community and movement activists, and regulatory and policy practitioners from across disciplines, research areas, perspectives, and different countries. Our overarching goal is to build on several decades of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable environmental and ecological problems of this unfolding era. How can we explore EJ amongst humans and between nature and humans, within and across generations, in an age when humans dominate the landscape? How can we better understand collective human dominance without obscuring continuing power differentials and inequities within and between human societies? What institutional and governance innovations can we adopt to address existing challenges and to promote just transitions and futures?

description: The United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently approved the construction of a natural gas pipeline through three southern states. Supporters of the pipeline focused on the economic benefits that pipeline construction would bring to communities, while those in opposition questioned the environmental justice and ecological impact of pipeline construction. This paper will explore the politics of the approval and construction process for the pipeline with a focus on the narratives of public and private actors in support of and in opposition to the pipeline. Through an analysis of narratives presented in the media, public hearings, and other sources, interested parties may learn more about how stakeholders highlighted issues related to economics, environmental justice, and conservation to advance their agenda.

Unity of Dark Matter, dark energy, Universal Gravitation
Creators: name: han, runguang
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: General relativity and gravitational waves

description: Based on the scientific achievements of Big Bang Cosmology, quark model, Parton model and other scientific achievements, this paper proposes a new theoretical model(the Polaron Sea model) on the essence of universal gravity and the origin of dark matter and dark energy. Based on this model, a new formula of universal gravitation is deduced, the essence of universal gravitation is revealed, and the origin of dark matter and dark energy hypothesis is given. The theoretical model believes that dark matter is the source of gravity and the leading factor in the operation of the universe. The expansion of the universe does not require dark energy. The new formula of universal gravitation can be converted into Newton's formula of universal gravitation. It is concluded that the gravitational constant G is a slowly changing quantity, the gravitational force of celestial bodies is limited, and may not form a real black hole, and the current total density of the universe is greater than the critical density. The new universal gravitation formula can explain the problem of rotational velocity of spiral galaxies.

description: We present an Angle-Resolved PhotoElectron Spectroscopy study of the changes in the electronic structure of electron doped Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))2As2 across the superconducting phase transition. By changing the polarization of the incoming light, we were able to observe the opening of the gap for the inner hole pocket alpha, and to compare its behavior with the outer hole-like band beta. Measurements along high symmetry directions show that the behavior of beta is consistent with an isotropic gap opening, while slight anisotropies are detected for the inner band alpha. The implications of these results for the s+/- symmetry of the superconducting order parameter are discussed, in relation to the nature of the different iron orbitals contributing to the electronic structure of this multiband system.

description: We present precise radial velocities of XO-2 taken with the Subaru HDS, covering two transits of XO-2b with an interval of nearly two years. The data suggest that the orbital eccentricity of XO-2b is consistent with zero within 2$σ$ ($e=0.045\pm0.024$) and the orbit of XO-2b is prograde (the sky-projected spin-orbit alignment angle $λ=10^{\circ}\pm72^{\circ}$). The poor constraint of $λ$ is due to a small impact parameter (the orbital inclination of XO-2b is almost 90$^{\circ}$). The data also provide an improved estimate of the mass of XO-2b as $0.62\pm0.02$ $M_{\rm Jup}$. We also find a long-term radial velocity variation in this system. Further radial velocity measurements are necessary to specify the cause of this additional variation.

description: A new kind of dark matter structures, ultracompact minihalos (UCMHs) was proposed recently. They would be formed during the radiation dominated epoch if the large density perturbations are existent. Moreover, if the dark matter is made up of weakly interacting massive particles, the UCMHs can have effect on cosmological evolution because of the high density and dark matter annihilation within them. In this paper, one new parameter is introduced to consider the contributions of UCMHs due to the dark matter annihilation to the evolution of cosmology, and we use the current and future CMB observations to obtain the constraint on the new parameter and then the abundance of UCMHs. The final results are applicable for a wider range of dark matter parameters

description: Card et al.'s classic paper "The Design Space of Input Devices" established the value of design spaces as a tool for HCI analysis and invention. We posit that developing design spaces for emerging pre-trained, generative AI models is necessary for supporting their integration into human-centered systems and practices. We explore what it means to develop an AI model design space by proposing two design spaces relating to generative AI models: the first considers how HCI can impact generative models (i.e., interfaces for models) and the second considers how generative models can impact HCI (i.e., models as an HCI prototyping material).

description: We study the first Kaluza-Klein excitation of the Higgs boson in universal extra dimensions as a dark matter candidate. The first-level Higgs boson could be the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle, which is stable due to the conservation of Kaluza-Klein parity, in non-minimal models where boundary localized terms modify the mass spectrum. We calculate the relic abundance and find that it agrees with the observed dark matter density if the mass of the first-level Higgs boson is slightly above 2 TeV, not considering coannihilations and assuming no relative mass splitting among the first-level Kaluza-Klein modes. In the case of coannihilations and a non-zero mass splitting, the mass of the first-level Higgs boson can range from 1 TeV to 4 TeV. We study also the prospects for detection of this dark matter candidate in direct as well as indirect detection experiments. Although the first-level Higgs boson is a typical weakly interacting massive particle, an observation in any of the conventional experiments is very challenging.

description: Auf einen Blick …
• Die Zahl der Neurentner/innen ging in den letzten Jahren zurück, weil geburtenschwache Jahrgänge das Renteneintrittsalter von 60 bis 65 Jahren erreichten. Doch gegenwärtig beginnt diese besondere demographische Konstellation beim Rentenzugang zu kippen: Zuletzt ist die Zahl der ostdeutschen Neurentner/innen wieder leicht gestiegen.
• Das durchschnittliche Zugangsalter in Altersrenten ist nach 2000 von ca. 62 Jahren (2000) in kurzer Zeit auf ca. 63 Jahre (2003) gestiegen. Seitdem stagnierte der weitere Anstieg, weil – als Folge steigender Geburtenzahlen nach 1945 – die Kohorten der heutigen „Frührentner/innen“ stärker besetzt sind als die Kohorten der heutigen „Spätrentner/innen“. Dies bremst den Anstieg des durchschnittlichen Rentenzugangsalters aller Neurentner/innen, obwohl nach wie vor zunehmende Anteile der Versicherten ihren individuellen Rentenbeginn aufschieben.
• Unter Kontrolle demographischer Veränderungen erfolgt der Rentenzugang aktuell öfter als früher mit 65 bzw. 63 Jahren. Der Rentenzugang mit 60 Jahren, obwohl quantitativ immer noch bedeutsam, geht allmählich zurück.
• Eine zentrale Ursache für frühe Berentungen vor dem 60. Lebensjahr ist der gesundheitsbedingte Verlust der Erwerbsfähigkeit, der in die Erwerbsminderungsrente führt. Aber nur etwa jeder zweite Antrag auf Erwerbsminderungsrente wird auch bewilligt.
• Seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre gehen die Zugänge in Erwerbsminderungsrenten deutlich zurück. Ein Ausweichen in die Erwerbsminderungsrente angesichts sich schließender Frühverrentungspfade bei den Altersrenten ist nicht zu beobachten.

description: In the current global political environment it is not at all clear what the U.S. can do other than talk about human rights. They have little leverage over Vietnam, or any other foreign government whose behavior they would like to change. There are, of course, exceptions to this, but it seems like the U.S. is reluctant to apply pressure even to those governments over which they have leverage. Persuasion is a critical part of diplomacy, but it is something which has become increasingly difficult for the U.S.

description: Qualitative analysis of textual contents unpacks rich and valuable information by assigning labels to the data. However, this process is often labor-intensive, particularly when working with large datasets. While recent AI-based tools demonstrate utility, researchers may not have readily available AI resources and expertise, let alone be challenged by the limited generalizability of those task-specific models. In this study, we explored the use of large language models (LLMs) in supporting deductive coding, a major category of qualitative analysis where researchers use pre-determined codebooks to label the data into a fixed set of codes. Instead of training task-specific models, a pre-trained LLM could be used directly for various tasks without fine-tuning through prompt learning. Using a curiosity-driven questions coding task as a case study, we found, by combining GPT-3 with expert-drafted codebooks, our proposed approach achieved fair to substantial agreements with expert-coded results. We lay out challenges and opportunities in using LLMs to support qualitative coding and beyond.

description: The last three weeks or so in Egypt have been extraordinary and inspiring. Thousands of ordinary people joined together peacefully to demand the end to a despotic and corrupt regime. It is far from clear what will come next in Egypt, but even that uncertainty should not take away from the events the whole world has just witnessed. Understanding events in Egypt, and what they mean for the future of that country and the broader Middle East is a challenge which requires the ability to look at the issue from different angles and to consider multiple, often conflicting, ideas at the same time.

description: Purpose – To examine the perspective of third-level university students in the context of the value proposition of construction apprenticeships in Ireland. Design/methodology/approach – The research uses a qualitative method, conducting semi-structured interviews with 20 third-level university students enrolled on a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree program in Construction Management in Ireland. Findings –The results highlight six themes. These include that society appears to be directly and/or indirectly steering students towards university. This is driven by what appears to be a prevailing stigma in that apprenticeships are not seen as an achievement by society. Also, apprenticeships are seen as a limited career choice, while also being one which appears to repel female entrants. Practical implications – If the shortage of new skilled workers entering the construction industry continues, construction organisations will not have the necessary resources to tender for, and subsequently, complete new work. Social implications – The perception of what could have been seen as potential new apprenticeship entrants, but ultimately chose university, is worth examining further with a view to industry addressing the shortcomings identified. This therefore can provide an opportunity to stem the tide of reducing apprenticeship numbers, while also providing a viable alternative to university for those who wish to pursue alternative routes of entering the sector. Originality/value – The paper uniquely focuses on the third-level university student’s perspectives and what influenced their decision to pursue third-level university education over that of an apprenticeship within the built environment; an area which has yet to be investigated.
Multiuser detection for transmit-only active RFID
Creators: name: Hoffmann, Dana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: One of the biggest challenges in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems is mitigating tag collisions. Most systems tackle this problem using Medium Access Control layer solutions. Unfortunately, these solutions are not applicable to systems with transmit-only tags, since the tags cannot detect collisions. This thesis introduces a novel reader design that employs multiuser detection techniques to jointly detect data from colliding packets in such systems. We propose a physical layer solution that exploits signal structure to mitigate tag collisions. Since the RFID tags generate their own clock using inexpensive hardware, this framework poses some unique challenges. We present methods for collision detection, synchronization, and channel estimation, as well as demodulation of the colliding signals. We show simulation results that demonstrate the gains in performance obtained using the proposed solution.

description: We study spin dynamics of a spin-Peierls chain with nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor Heisenberg spin exchange interactions together with a gapped and dispersionless phonon. The dynamical spin correlation function and phonon excitation spectrum are calculated at zero temperature by using dynamical density-matrix renormalization-group method. We find a new spin excitation assisted by non-softening phonon. The excitation is located above phonon in energy and shows a dispersive feature with strong intensity near the momentum $π$. The phonon excitation spectrum is also influenced by the spin-phonon interaction. We discuss the possibility of observing the spin-phonon coupled features in inorganic spin-Peierls compound CuGeO$_3$.

Our overarching goal is to build on several decades of EJ research and practice to address the seemingly intractable environmental and ecological problems of this unfolding era. How can we explore EJ amongst humans and between nature and humans, within and across generations, in an age when humans dominate the landscape? How can we better understand collective human dominance without obscuring continuing power differentials and inequities within and between human societies? What institutional and governance innovations can we adopt to address existing challenges and to promote just transitions and futures?

description: This paper focuses on emissions reductions for EJ communities under the Clean Power Plan in particular as well as climate change mitigation policy in general and argues that these reductions should be both mandatory and planned. The next section of the paper discusses why, from an EJ perspective, equity should be an integral part of climate change mitigation policy; then the need for climate change mitigation policy to produce emissions reductions for EJ communities is discussed; this is followed by an explanation of why neither the Clean Power Plan nor carbon trading programs in general can guarantee emissions reductions for EJ communities in the manner needed; then a specific mechanism for achieving these reductions under the Clean Power Plan is proposed; and the paper concludes with several final thoughts. Many of the ideas contained in this paper have been presented before in various forms in comments submitted by this author on behalf of the New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance. However, additional ideas, discussion and detail are included here.
Classifying bases for 6D F-theory models

description: We classify six-dimensional F-theory compactifications in terms of simple features of the divisor structure of the base surface of the elliptic fibration. This structure controls the minimal spectrum of the theory. We determine all irreducible configurations of divisors ("clusters") that are required to carry nonabelian gauge group factors based on the intersections of the divisors with one another and with the canonical class of the base. All 6D F-theory models are built from combinations of these irreducible configurations. Physically, this geometric structure characterizes the gauge algebra and matter that can remain in a 6D theory after maximal Higgsing. These results suggest that all 6D supergravity theories realized in F-theory have a maximally Higgsed phase in which the gauge algebra is built out of summands of the types su(3), so(8), f_4, e_6, e_8, e_7, (g_2 + su(2)), and su(2) + so(7) + su(2), with minimal matter content charged only under the last three types of summands, corresponding to the non-Higgsable cluster types identified through F-theory geometry. Although we have identified all such geometric clusters, we have not proven that there cannot be an obstruction to Higgsing to the minimal gauge and matter configuration for any possible F-theory model. We also identify bounds on the number of tensor fields allowed in a theory with any fixed gauge algebra; we use this to bound the size of the gauge group (or algebra) in a simple class of F-theory bases.

description: Collaborative Business Analysis (CBA) is a methodology that involves bringing together different stakeholders, including business users, analysts, and technical specialists, to collaboratively analyze data and gain insights into business operations. The primary objective of CBA is to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration between the different groups involved in business analysis, as this can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the data and better decision-making. CBA typically involves a range of activities, including data gathering and analysis, brainstorming, problem-solving, decision-making and knowledge sharing. These activities may take place through various channels, such as in-person meetings, virtual collaboration tools or online forums. This paper deals with virtual collaboration tools as an important part of Business Intelligence (BI) platform. Collaborative Business Intelligence (CBI) tools are becoming more user-friendly, accessible, and flexible, allowing users to customize their experience and adapt to their specific needs. The goal of a virtual assistant is to make data exploration more accessible to a wider range of users and to reduce the time and effort required for data analysis. It describes the unified business intelligence semantic model, coupled with a data warehouse and collaborative unit to employ data mining technology. Moreover, we propose a virtual assistant for CBI and a reference model of virtual tools for CBI, which consists of three components: conversational, data exploration and recommendation agents. We believe that the allocation of these three functional tasks allows you to structure the CBI issue and apply relevant and productive models for human-like dialogue, text-to-command transferring, and recommendations simultaneously. The complex approach based on these three points gives the basis for virtual tool for collaboration. CBI encourages people, processes, and technology to enable everyone sharing and leveraging collective expertise, knowledge and data to gain valuable insights for making better decisions. This allows to respond more quickly and effectively to changes in the market or internal operations and improve the progress.

description: The reality of climate change and its adverse implication on the human and environmental rights of the Inuit is no longer in doubt. The observed impacts of climate change in the Arctic region confirm that the change in climate has violated the fundamental human rights of the Inuit inhabiting the Arctic region, the integrity of the Arctic ecosystem, and also the environmental “right to be cold”. Emissions of greenhouse gases primarily due to human activities have contributed monumentally to climate change, and these emissions have, over the years, been encouraged by the actions or inactions of States. The principle that “where there is a right, there is a remedy” prompts the search for legal remedies within the international human rights system to address the impacts of climate change on the Inuit and the Arctic region. This thesis addresses the legal and regulatory framework that can be adopted to address the impact of climate change on Northern Indigenous peoples. The question of whether current global regimes on climate change provide an effective mechanism for the Peoples of the Arctic to seek redress to defend their culture and way of life is also addressed. This thesis argues that the Inuit may find an effective mechanism to seek redress within the existing United Nations and Inter-American human rights systems.

Hmm. Maybe Obama Won't Change Global Opinion of the U.S. After All
Creators: name: Mitchell, Lincoln A.

Subjects: International relations

description: Obama's unique personal history, commitment to conducting foreign policy differently once in office, ability to put a new face on American foreign policy and strong refutation of his predecessor's policies were going to change how the world viewed America and win back global support for the U.S. At least that is what was supposed to happen. People around the world who saw Obama's election as evidence of the real promise of America and as a reason to hope that Bush's America was an aberration may begin to question these assumptions too.
Estimation of the spin polarization for Heusler-compound thin films by means of nonlocal spin-valve measurements: Comparison of Co$_{2}$FeSi and Fe$_{3}$Si

description: We study room-temperature generation and detection of pure spin currents using lateral spin-valve devices with Heusler-compound electrodes, Co$_{2}$FeSi (CFS) or Fe$_{3}$Si (FS). The magnitude of the nonlocal spin-valve (NLSV) signals is seriously affected by the dispersion of the resistivity peculiarly observed in the low-temperature grown Heusler compounds with ordered structures. From the analysis based on the one-dimensional spin diffusion model, we find that the spin polarization monotonically increases with decreasing the resistivity, which depends on the structural ordering, for both CFS and FS electrodes, and verify that CFS has relatively large spin polarization compared with FS.
