description: We present an approach to differentially private computation in which one does not scale up the magnitude of noise for challenging queries, but rather scales down the contributions of challenging records. While scaling down all records uniformly is equivalent to scaling up the noise magnitude, we show that scaling records non-uniformly can result in substantially higher accuracy by bypassing the worst-case requirements of differential privacy for the noise magnitudes. This paper details the data analysis platform wPINQ, which generalizes the Privacy Integrated Query (PINQ) to weighted datasets. Using a few simple operators (including a non-uniformly scaling Join operator) wPINQ can reproduce (and improve) several recent results on graph analysis and introduce new generalizations (e.g., counting triangles with given degrees). We also show how to integrate probabilistic inference techniques to synthesize datasets respecting more complicated (and less easily interpreted) measurements.

description: In the Middle Ages women in the Italian Alps had substantially more rights on collective properties than in the Modern Age. The documental evidence shows a progressive erosion of women’s rights and a convergence toward gender-biased inheritance systems. We tracked the evolution of inheritance regulations on collective land in the peasant communities of Trentino over a period of six centuries (13th-19th). Considering a panel of hundreds of communities, we provide a long-term perspective of institutional change. When population pressure increased, a patrilineal system emerged as a protective measure to preserve the per-capita endowment of collective properties within a community. This study raises general issues about the role of local level versus centralized decision-making in delivering gender equality and about the long-term trade-off between the protection of common resources and a healthy genetic pool at the community level.

description: In this paper we construct invariants of 3-manifolds "à la Reshetikhin-Turaev" in the setting of non-semi-simple ribbon tensor categories. We give concrete examples of such categories which lead to a family of 3-manifold invariants indexed by the integers. We prove this family of invariants has several notable features, including: they can be computed via a set of axioms, they distinguish homotopically equivalent manifolds that the standard Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten invariants do not, and they allow the statement of a version of the Volume Conjecture and a proof of this conjecture for an infinite class of links.

description: This article is the second part of a series of three articles about compatible systems of symplectic Galois representations and applications to the inverse Galois problem. This part is concerned with symplectic Galois representations having a huge residual image, by which we mean that a symplectic group of full dimension over the prime field is contained up to conjugation. A key ingredient is a classification of symplectic representations whose image contains a nontrivial transvection: these fall into three very simply describable classes, the reducible ones, the induced ones and those with huge image. Using the idea of an (n,p)-group of Khare, Larsen and Savin we give simple conditions under which a symplectic Galois representation with coefficients in a finite field has a huge image. Finally, we combine this classification result with the main result of the first part to obtain a strenghtened application to the inverse Galois problem.
description: 14 pages; the proof of the classification result has been significantly shortened by appealing to results of Kantor

Powerful and large regional authorities are needed to preserve green open space for urban agglomerations

description: Identification and assessment of strategies for the conservation and multifunctional development of green open space in the urban fringe of European urban regions is a challenge to both the academic and the real life world. Within the EU funded research project PLUREL – Peri-urban land use relationships – ‘Strategies and sustainability assessment tools for urban rural linkages’, we developed a methodology for international comparison of regional strategies that considers the policy context at supra-regional level. This methodology helped to explain the reported impacts of strategies. For this we further elaborated the theoretical concept of policy arrangements and policy dimensions by Van Tatenhove et al. (2000) and Arts et al. (2006).

Strategies and policy contexts referred to are from Montpellier Agglomeration, a formal coalition of now 31 municipalities, Leipzig-Halle region, a functional urban region (FUR) with governance coalitions around green open space preservation strategies, and Hangzhou in China, a very large city with hierarchical formal government.

Results showed how the means of influence from different government levels can complement and reinforce each other and raise the effectiveness of the strategies. A combination of hierarchical government with a horizontal coalition between local authorities covering the full FUR can be very effective for managing the land use developments in the urban fringe, even when private business, CSOs or other NGOs are not included in the coalition. Supra-regional authorities do not have to possess the land resources, but setting the Rules of the Game is a powerful means of influence to coerce local municipalities to preserve green open space in the urban fringe.

Moreover, we describe the four limiting cases and show that there is exactly one solution in each case.

Development, validation and pilot implementation of the miniPIERS (Pre-eclampsia Integrated Estimate of RiSk) clinical risk prediction model
Creators: name: Payne, Beth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) are one of the leading causes of maternal death and morbidity in low-resourced countries due to delays in case identification and a shortage of health workers trained to manage these disorders. The objective of this thesis was to develop an evidence-based tool that could aid community-based health workers in decision making around the care of women with the HDPs. This objective was achieved using a prospective cohort of data collected in five low and middle income countries (LMICs) to: (1) develop a clinical risk predication model using logistic regression (the “miniPIERS” model); (2) validate the miniPIERS model through bootstrapping and by applying the model to a second cohort of women with HDP; (3) extend and recalibrate the model to include the novel biomarker, pulse oximetry (SpO₂); and (4) translate the miniPIERS model into a decision rule for final creation of the PIERS on the Move decision algorithm. All stages of development of the PIERS on the Move tool included input from stakeholders in low-resourced countries. The miniPIERS model, based on demographics, symptoms and clinical signs, accurately identified women who were at greatest risk of complications from the HDP (AUC ROC 0.77 [95% CI 0.74 – 0.80]). Internal validation demonstrated minimal overfitting with an average optimism of 0.037. Addition of SpO2 to the miniPIERS model resulted in a 20% increase in classification accuracy of high-risk women. Using an iterative review and feedback process including stakeholders from our partner low-resourced countries, decision points defined by the miniPIERS model were combined with the WHO recommendations for treatment of women with HDP to create a novel decision algorithm for population level risk screening. This decision algorithm identified high-risk women in the miniPIERS cohort with a sensitivity of 74.1% and specificity of 51.4%. Pilot testing of this tool in South Africa demonstrated potential impact but the true impact of use of the PIERS on the Move tool on maternal outcome rates requires assessment through an implementation study.

The rural-urban fringe in the Netherlands: recent developments and future challenges

description: In recent decades, most rural-urban fringes in the Netherlands have seen substantial urbanisation. Urban expansions at the rural-urban fringe have formed complex hybrid landscapes consisting of residential areas, commercial zones, agricultural land, recreational and nature areas. In certain regions, urbanisation is rather compact and concentric, whereas others show dispersed and polycentric morphological patterns. Based on quantitative and qualitative spatial research, this article analyses recent urban developments and urbanisation patterns along the rural-urban fringe in the Netherlands, and identifies challenges for planning and design at national, regional and local levels.

Urban compaction policy has prevented urban sprawl in the Netherlands. However, in some regions traditionally unwanted urban development patterns can be discerned. On a national level, an important question is how increasing dispersed urbanisation may affect the economic performance of cities and the efficient use of existing infrastructure. On a regional level, there is a need for urbanisation strategies that transcend municipal boundaries. On a local level, innovative urban design/re-design strategies may help improve connections between separated functions, involve local stakeholders, and upgrade the identity of places at the fringe.

description: Bayesian model-based reinforcement learning is a formally elegant approach to learning optimal behaviour under model uncertainty, trading off exploration and exploitation in an ideal way. Unfortunately, finding the resulting Bayes-optimal policies is notoriously taxing, since the search space becomes enormous. In this paper we introduce a tractable, sample-based method for approximate Bayes-optimal planning which exploits Monte-Carlo tree search. Our approach outperformed prior Bayesian model-based RL algorithms by a significant margin on several well-known benchmark problems -- because it avoids expensive applications of Bayes rule within the search tree by lazily sampling models from the current beliefs. We illustrate the advantages of our approach by showing it working in an infinite state space domain which is qualitatively out of reach of almost all previous work in Bayesian exploration.

description: In this article we approach a class of stochastic reachability problems with state constraints from an optimal control perspective. Preceding approaches to solving these reachability problems are either confined to the deterministic setting or address almost-sure stochastic requirements. In contrast, we propose a methodology to tackle problems with less stringent requirements than almost sure. To this end, we first establish a connection between two distinct stochastic reach-avoid problems and three classes of stochastic optimal control problems involving discontinuous payoff functions. Subsequently, we focus on solutions of one of the classes of stochastic optimal control problems---the exit-time problem, which solves both the two reach-avoid problems mentioned above. We then derive a weak version of a dynamic programming principle (DPP) for the corresponding value function; in this direction our contribution compared to the existing literature is to develop techniques that admit discontinuous payoff functions. Moreover, based on our DPP, we provide an alternative characterization of the value function as a solution of a partial differential equation in the sense of discontinuous viscosity solutions, along with boundary conditions both in Dirichlet and viscosity senses. Theoretical justifications are also discussed to pave the way for deployment of off-the-shelf PDE solvers for numerical computations. Finally, we validate the performance of the proposed framework on the stochastic Zermelo navigation problem.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The various causes of the unpredictable relationship among financial achievement, the audit group, and CSR on business value are examined in this study. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept that has received a lot of attention and is currently being used by many businesses. CSR is currently being used by organizations as a strategy to secure business continuity and to improve their value. Apart from fostering corporate citizenship, the audit committee can also boost the company's worth because the board of officers engages in the formation of corporate strategy, provides management with appropriate incentives, and keepsan eye on and assesses management's performance to boost management's transparency and public trust. The population in the study is the banking sector. In this research, multiple linear regression analysis is used for hypothesis testing. E-views 9 is the test programme applied. According to the study's findings, financial performance, audit committee, and corporate social responsibility all have a favourable impact on a company's worth. While the audit committee and financial results have a negative effect on corporate value, CSR has no impact on financial value.

description: Let S be a smooth cubic surface defined over a field K. As observed by Segre and Manin, there is a secant and tangent process on S that generates new K-rational points from old. It is natural to ask for the size of a minimal generating set for S(K). In a recent paper, for fields K with at least 13 elements, Siksek showed that if S contains a skew pair of K-lines then S(K) can be generated from one point. In this paper we prove the corresponding version of this result for fields K having at least 4 elements, and slightly milder results for #K=2 or 3.

description: The secure multiplex coding (SMC) is a technique to remove rate loss in the coding for wire-tap channels and broadcast channels with confidential messages caused by the inclusion of random bits into transmitted signals. SMC replaces the random bits by other meaningful secret messages, and a collection of secret messages serves as the random bits to hide the rest of messages. In the previous researches, multiple secret messages were assumed to have independent and uniform distributions, which is difficult to be ensured in practice. We remove this restrictive assumption by a generalization of the channel resolvability technique. We also give practical construction techniques for SMC by using an arbitrary given error-correcting code as an ingredient, and channel-universal coding of SMC. By using the same principle as the channel-universal SMC, we give coding for the broadcast channel with confidential messages universal to both channel and source distributions.

Assessing forest disturbances for carbon modeling : building the bridge between activity data and carbon budget modeling
Creators: name: Mascorro, Vanessa S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Detailed observations of natural and anthropogenic disturbances that alter the forest structure and the distribution of carbon are essential to estimate changes in forest carbon sinks and sources. Remote sensing is one of the primary sources to provide observations of land cover and land-cover change for carbon studies and other ecological applications due to its ability to monitor the Earth’s surface on a regular and continuous basis. However, observations of change are often not attributed directly to an underlying disturbance type and are not well validated, especially in tropical areas. The overall objectives of this thesis are to 1) assess forest disturbances (natural and anthropogenic) and derive activity data for carbon budget modeling, and 2) estimate the impact of different activity data on the terrestrial carbon balance for REDD+ in Mexican tropical forests. To do so, a novel Multi-Source, Multi-Scale Disturbance (MS-D) assessment method was developed to: 1) characterize natural and anthropogenic forest disturbances; 2) obtain land-cover change observations; and 3) attribute land-cover changes to their most likely disturbance driver. Spatially-explicit layers of major disturbance types were generated in annual time steps for carbon modeling across the Yucatan Peninsula from 2005 to 2010. Using geospatial techniques and regression-tree analysis the MS-D approach successfully attributed 86% of land-cover changes derived from the MODIS satellite imagery to their underlying disturbance cause, creating synergies between remote-sensing products, forest inventory and ancillary datasets. Four remote-sensing products derived from Landsat and MODIS satellites were then compiled, providing inputs of activity data for carbon modeling with the CBM-CFS3. Two map sequences were generated for each product, with and without attributing land-cover changes to disturbance type with the MS-D approach. Annual carbon fluxes were simulated to compare the impact of: 1) spatial resolution, 2) temporal resolution, and 3) attribution/non-attribution of land-cover changes by disturbance type on carbon flux estimates. The results clearly demonstrated that different choices of satellite imagery and attribution of changes to disturbance types change the estimated carbon balance. This study provides an integral cost-effective approach to derive activity data for carbon modeling, and support policy and decision-making for forest monitoring and REDD+.

description: La critica che Ludwig Wittgenstein muove ai presupposti filosofici del dibattito sui fondamenti della matematica si estende oltre le tematiche specifiche di tale dibattito ed investe un’intera tradizione di pensiero. Dietro alle argomentazioni di Frege e Russell, alle dimostrazioni di Cantor e di Dedekind, al programma di Hilbert e al teorema di  Gödel, c’è uno sfondo filosofico che le acute osservazioni  del filosofo ci permette di smascherare. Questa ricerca, articolata in quattro studi, intende presentare alcuni momenti fondamentali del dibattito sui fondamenti e la relativa critica di Wittgenstein. Si prenderà in considerazione la definizione di limite di Cantor, la sezione di Dedekind, la definizione logicista di numero naturale ed infine il problema della scoperta in matematica. In conclusione si  cercherà di interpretare il cosiddetto anti-platonismo di Wittgenstein.

description: We prove a commutative Gelfand--Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set $C_s(X)$ of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space $X$ (provided with the supremum norm) is a Banach algebra, isometrically isomorphic to $C_0(Y)$, for some unique (up to homeomorphism) locally compact Hausdorff space $Y$. The space $Y$, which we explicitly construct as a subspace of the Stone--Čech compactification of $X$, is countably compact, and if $X$ is non-separable, is moreover non-normal; in addition $C_0(Y)=C_{00}(Y)$. When the underlying field of scalars is the complex numbers, the space $Y$ coincides with the spectrum of the ${C}^*$-algebra $C_s(X)$. Further, we find the dimension of the algebra $C_s(X)$.

description: Supervised statistical classification is a vital tool for satellite image processing. It is useful not only when a discrete result, such as feature extraction or surface type, is required, but also for continuum retrievals by dividing the quantity of interest into discrete ranges. Because of the high resolution of modern satellite instruments and because of the requirement for real-time processing, any algorithm has to be fast to be useful. Here we describe an algorithm based on kernel estimation called Adaptive Gaussian Filtering that incorporates several innovations to produce superior efficiency as compared to three other popular methods: k-nearest-neighbour (KNN), Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). This efficiency is gained with no compromises: accuracy is maintained, while estimates of the conditional probabilities are returned. These are useful not only to gauge the accuracy of an estimate in the absence of its true value, but also to re-calibrate a retrieved image and as a proxy for a discretized continuum variable. The algorithm is demonstrated and compared with the other three on a pair of synthetic test classes and to map the waterways of the Netherlands.

Dating practices : the influence of context and the gendered nature of heterosexual relationships on women's sexual well-being
Creators: name: Masaro, Cindy Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Limited attention has been paid to adult women’s sexual well-being despite their steadily rising rates of sexually-transmitted infections (STI) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Two understudied areas that may affect women's sexual well-being are the changing context of dating and the gendered nature of heterosexual relationships. Internet technologies have become popular, yet little is known about how these technologies influence women's sexual risk. Additionally, few studies have addressed how conformity to gendered norms related to sexual activity and the expression of pleasure (i.e., orgasm during sex) influence women's sexual risk and well-being. Analyses were undertaken of data collected from an online survey of 1,266 adult women living in the United States. Two models of sexual risk were hypothesized with associations between: (a) the modality and time spent communicating, the motivations and the pressure for sexual activity, and sexual risk and (b) sexual self-disclosure and communication about sexual risk. Multinomial logistic regression was used for the analyses. A third model examined women's sexual well-being in terms of faking orgasm. Binary logistic regression was used to examine predictors of faking orgasm including the importance of, and pressure to achieve orgasm, and the frequency of, and satisfaction with, orgasm. Neither the modality nor time spent communicating was associated with sexual risk, however, the expectation to communicate trust and adherence to sexual scripts were associated. Discussion about past sexual behaviour (e.g., sexual positions, experiences) increased risk; yet, communication about STIs and HIV did not. The majority of women reported that they had faked orgasm during penile-vaginal intercourse. Perceived pressure to achieve an orgasm during this activity predicted the faking of orgasm. The findings of this study indicate that women's sexual risk does not appear to be influenced by how they meet partners or by the modality and time spent communicating. Communication about STIs and HIV, does appear to decrease sexual risk. The gendered nature of heterosexual relationships is of particular importance for women's sexual well-being. Given the results of this study, women conforming to gendered expectations about sex are less likely to express what they find sexually pleasing.
