title: Walking the Tightrope: Cultural Transmission from First- to Second- Generation Salvadoran Immigrants

Subjects: subject: El Salvador
subject: First generation
subject: Language
subject: Cultural transmission
subject: Second generation
subject: Immigration

description: This thesis examines how first-generation Salvadoran immigrants transfer their home culture to their children, born in the U.S. It examines the complex dynamics of this transfer, focusing on four different aspects that may play an important role in the transmission of home culture: family, legality/citizenship, border lives, and language. Each of these variables shapes the process by which first-generation Salvadoran immigrants incorporate their feelings about their home culture. The process of cultural transfer across generations is reflected in the ways Salvadorans interact with and talk to their children about their home culture. Salvadoran first-generation immigrants are continually engaged in selective decisions about whether to include or exclude cultural knowledge when interacting with the second generation. The processes that are involved are both subtle, such as choosing what food to make for dinner, to overt, for example, taking a trip to visit family in El Salvador. The first and second generation interacts in a myriad of complex ways, and these interactions shed light on the transference of culture. For the first generation, their personal history and socio-economic standing among other factors influence how they pass on their home culture. The second generation actively participates in the exchange, they are constantly choosing what aspects of their parent’s culture they accept or reject. They are also navigating the U.S. culture that surrounds them.

description: The purpose of this paper is to present a rank based approach to cross-sectionallinear factor modelling. The emphasis is on approximating factor exposures in aconsistent manner in order to facilitate the merging of subjective information(from professional investors) with objective information (from accounting dataand/or state of the art quantitative models) in a statistically rigorous way withoutneeding to impose the unrealistic simplifying assumptions typical of more standardtime series models. We deal with the problems of identifying country and sectorreturns by an innovative hierarchical factor structure. This is all discussed fromthe perspective that investment models are not immutable but rather need to bedesigned with characteristics that are fit for their purpose; for example, returningaggregate county and sector forecasts that are consistent by construction.

description: We give the nonperturbative phase diagram of the four-dimensional hot electroweak phase transition. The Monte-Carlo analysis is done on lattices with different lattice spacings ($a$). A systematic extrapolation $a \to 0$ is done. Our results show that the finite temperature SU(2)-Higgs phase transition is of first order for Higgs-boson masses $m_H<66.5 \pm 1.4$ GeV. At this endpoint the phase transition is of second order, whereas above it only a rapid cross-over can be seen. The full four-dimensional result agrees completely with that of the dimensional reduction approximation. This fact is of particular importance, because it indicates that the fermionic sector of the Standard Model can be included perturbatively. We obtain that the Higgs-boson endpoint mass in the Standard Model is $72.4 \pm 1.7$ GeV. Taking into account the LEP Higgs-boson mass lower bound excludes any electroweak phase transition in the Standard Model.

description: Colin Kaepernick spearheaded a social movement to protest police brutality and other oppression experienced by the Black community by choosing to kneel during the National Anthem before NFL games. These protests quickly became controversial and created a media firestorm. This research aims to understand how conservative media outlets framed the protests, and more specifically Colin Kaepernick, through the lenses of masculinity and whiteness, as well as attempts to understand how culture surrounding football reinforce these tropes. The analysis was based on a purposeful sampling and emergent coding of 77 opinion media pieces from Fox News Network, as well as ethnographic observations that followed a rural Virginia high school football team and interviews with 21 participants from the high school community. This study revealed how the portrayal of Colin Kaepernick is displayed through the creation of The American man, based largely in ideas of whiteness, patriotism, and subservience, challenging of The American man, and notions of crafting the American “we” through collective identity and how these portrayals are deeply rooted in the culture of American football.

description: Polar discontinuities occurring at interfaces between two different materials constitute both a challenge and an opportunity in the study and application of a variety of devices. In order to cure the large electric field occurring in such structures, a reconfiguration of the charge landscape sets in at the interface via chemical modifications, adsorbates or charge transfer. In the latter case, one may expect a local electronic doping of one material: one sparkling example is the two-dimensional electron liquid (2DEL) appearing in SrTiO$_3$ once covered by a polar LaAlO$_3$ layer. Here we show that tuning the formal polarisation of a (La,Al)$_{1-x}$(Sr,Ti)$_x$O$_3$ (LASTO:$x$) overlayer through chemical composition modifies the quantum confinement of the 2DEL in SrTiO$_3$ and its electronic band structure. The analysis of the behaviour in magnetic field of superconducting field-effect devices reveals, in agreement with $ab\ initio$ calculations and self-consistent Poisson-Schrödinger modelling, that quantum confinement and energy splitting between electronic bands of different symmetries strongly depend on interface charge densities. These results not only strongly support the polar discontinuity mechanisms with a full charge transfer to explain the origin of the 2DEL at the celebrated LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ interface, but also demonstrate an effective tool for tailoring the electronic structure at oxide interfaces.

description: Successive quadratic approximations (SQA) are numerically efficient for minimizing the sum of a smooth function and a convex function. The iteration complexity of inexact SQA methods has been analyzed recently. In this paper, we present an algorithmic framework of inexact SQA methods with four types of line searches, and analyze its global complexity under milder assumptions. First, we show its well-definedness and some decreasing properties. Second, under the quadratic growth condition and a uniform positive lower bound condition on stepsizes, we show that the function value sequence and the iterate sequence are linearly convergent. Moreover, we obtain a o(1/k) complexity without the quadratic growth condition, improving existing O(1/k) complexity results. At last, we show that a local gradient-Lipschitz-continuity condition could guarantee a uniform positive lower bound for the stepsizes.

description: Successful cap and trade programs for SO2 and NOx in the US allocate allowances to large emitters based on a historic base line for a period of up to thirty years. National Allocation Plans in Europe allocate CO2 allowances in an iterative approach first for a three then for a five-year period. The potential updating of the base line creates perverse incentives for operation and investment. Some allowances are also reserved for new entrants further distorting the scheme. We use analytic models and numeric simulations for the UK power sector to illustrate and quantify how these effects contribute to an inflation of the allowance price while reducing utilisation and investment in efficient technologies. The inflated allowance prices are likely to increase the European allowance budget and emissions, e.g. through the Linking Directive. As a result opportunity costs of emitting CO2 are reduced relative to an efficient cap and trade program.

The PS and PV coupling schemes in the construction of the phenomenological side are carefully considered in each sum rule. We discuss the dependence of the result on the specific Dirac structure and identify the source of the dependence by making specific models for higher resonances.

description: The article deals for the first time with the “Repertorivm in Formam Alphabeticam”, a geographical dictionary compiled by Dr. JAKOB STOPEL (†1535), which contains more than 8600 geographical coordinates of regions, towns, waters and mountains. STOPEL was a general practitioner in the imperial city of Mem-mingen, Swabia. His opus was printed in 1519 by ALBERT KUNNE, who had a printing press in Memmingen since 1509. The detailed analysis of the scientific environment in which STOPEL worked and offers new insights into the Humanism in Swabian monasteries of this time – for example, his friendship with the Benedictine monk NIKOLAUS ELLENBOG (1481-1543). In addition, the article discusses the cartographic sources of STOPEL’s table of coordinate, which includes the location of places in the New World, remarkable information for this time period.

description: The Dutch regulatory process for setting the first X-Factors in the electricity distribution sector has gone badly wrong. During two-and-a-half years four different X-Factors were published by the regulator. These X-Factors fluctuated wildly. We demonstrate that Dutch electricity consumers will pay at least €300mln. more over three years for the distribution of electricity than might otherwise have been the case. We estimate that benefits for companies in terms of extra revenue from lowered X-Factors amounts to 3~5 percent of total asset value. We provide a history of the regulatory process and analyse the impact of the different X-Factors on the final bills of consumers. The negative political reaction to the perceived problems of regulation has hampered the course of deregulation and the privatisation of the municipally-owned electricity companies. The Minister of Economic Affairs and the majority of Parliament want the complete ownership unbundling of the sector by 1 January 2007.

description: Background: In spite of the emergence of populations of drug-resistant cyathostomins worldwide, little is known of parasite species responsible for 'early egg shedding' in cohorts of horses subjected to treatment with widely used anthelmintics (e.g. ivermectin [IVM]). In this study, we determined the cyathostomin egg reappearance period (ERP) after IVM treatment of a cohort of yearlings from a large Thoroughbred (TB) stud farm in the United Kingdom, and identified species of IVM-'resistant' cyathostomins using a combination of fundamental parasitology techniques coupled with advanced molecular tools. Methods: Individual faecal samples were collected from TB yearlings with cyathostomin infection prior to IVM treatment, as well as at 2, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days posttreatment. Faecal egg counts (FEC) were performed for each individual sample for determination of ERPs. In addition, individual larval cultures were performed and representative numbers of third stage larvae (L3s) harvested from each culture were subjected to molecular species identification via PCR-Reverse Line Blot (RLB). Results: Prior to IVM treatment, 11 cyathostomin species were detected in faecal samples from TB horses enrolled in this study, i.e. Cyathostomum (Cya.) catinatum, Cylicostephanus (Cys.) longibursatus, Cys. goldi, Cylicocyclus (Cyc.) nassatus, Cys. calicatus, Cya, pateratum, Cyc. radiatus, Paraposteriostomum mettami, Coronocyclus (Cor.) labratus, Cyc. insigne and Cyc. radiatus variant A. Of these, eggs of Cya. catinatum, Cys. longibursatus, Cyc. nassatus and Cyc. radiatus could be detected at 28 days post-treatment, while from day 42 onwards, cyathostomin species composition reflected data obtained pre-IVM treatment, with the exception of eggs of Cor. labratus and Cyc. insigne that could no longer be detected post-IVM administration. Conclusions: This study provides valuable data on the occurrence of IVM-resistance in cyathostomins in the UK. Nevertheless, further investigations are needed to shed light on the prevalence and incidence of drug-resistance in this country as well as other areas of the world where equine trade is substantial.

A d-wave superconducting state exhibits peaks at q = ( π, π, π) and sharp maxima as a function of ω, at twice the gap frequency. This behavior may have been observed experimentally. The counterpart behavior for other choices of order parameter symmetry is discussed.

Diversity and Security in UK Electricity Generation: The Influence of Low Carbon Objectives

Subjects: subject: Classification-JEL: Q40, Q42

description: We explore the relationship between low carbon objectives and the strategic security of electricity in the context of the UK Electricity System. We consider diversity of fuel source mix to represent one dimension of security - robustness against interruptions of any one source - and apply two different diversity indices to the range of electricity system scenarios produced by the UK government and independent researchers. Using data on wind generation we also consider whether a second dimension of security - the reliability of generation availability - is compromised by intermittency of renewable generation. Our results show that low carbon objectives are uniformly associated with greater long-term diversity in UK electricity. We discuss reasons for this result, explore sensitivities, and briefly discuss possible policy instruments associated with diversity and their limitations.

We study the gauge-fixed action in the approximation in which only the transverse radial direction of the brane is allowed to fluctuate. The generalized special conformal symmetry of these self-interacting actions is established. This opens up a possibility to find out if the full superconformal symmetry of the free actions of these branes survives in the presence of coupling defined by the size of the anti-deSitter throat.

description: A model independent analysis of the most recent averages of precision electroweak data from LEP and SLD finds a 3$σ$ deviation of the parameter $A_b$ from the Standard Model prediction. The fitted value of $m_H$ shows a strong dependence on the inclusion or exclusion of b quark data, and the Standard Model fits have poor confidence levels of a few percent when the latter are included. The good fits obtained to lepton data, c quark data and the directly measured top quark mass, give $m_t = 171.2_{-3.8}^{+3.7}$ GeV and indicate that the Higgs boson mass is most likely less than 200 GeV.

description: We present a measurement of the left-right cross-section asymmetry (ALR) for Z boson production by e+e- collisions. The measurement includes the final data taken with the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider (SLC) during the period 1996-1998. Using a sample of 383,487 Z decays collected during the 1996-1998 runs we measure the pole-value of the asymmetry, ALR0, to be 0.15056+-0.00239 which is equivalent to an effective weak mixing angle of sin2th(eff) = 0.23107+-0.00030. Our result for the complete 1992-1998 dataset comprising 537 thousand Z decays is sin2th(eff) = 0.23097+-0.00027.

description: Following a tradition that relates household-level shocks to educational attainment, we examine the impact of teacher-level shocks on student learning. As a plausible measure for these shocks, we use teacher absenteeism during a 30-day recall period. A 5-percent increase in teacher absence rate reduced learning by 4 to 8 percent of average gains over the year, for both Mathematics and English. The estimated impacts are substantial and, in addition to the losses due to time away from class, likely reflect lower teaching quality when in class and less lesson-preparation when at home. Health problems-primarily their own illness and the illnesses of family members-account for more than 60 percent of teacher absenteeism. This suggests both that households are unable to substitute adequately for school-level teaching inputs and that, to support human capital formation, insurance at the school-level may be a policy priority that is worth exploring further.

description: In this paper we propose to use Polya urn processes to model the emergence of conformity in an environment where people interact with each other sequentially and indirectly, through a common physical facility. Examples include rewinding video tapes, erasing blackboards, and switching headlights, etc. We find that a minimum amount of imitation is able to generate a maximum level of conformity. We then reinterpret the result in a group imitation setup, and show that as long as groups imitate each other with positive probabilities, they will end up with the same population composition, irrespective of the initial conditions, and the imitating probabilities.

description: Background: Exaggerated signals, such as brilliant colours, are usually assumed to evolve through antagonistic coevolution between senders and receivers, but the underlying genetic mechanisms are rarely known. Here we explore a recently identified "redness gene", CYP2J19, that is highly interesting in this context since it encodes a carotenoid-modifying enzyme (a C4 ketolase involved in both colour signalling and colour discrimination in the red (long wavelength) spectral region. Results: A single full-length CYP2J19 was retrieved from 43 species out of 70 avian genomes examined, representing all major avian clades. In addition, CYP2J19 sequences from 13 species of weaverbirds (Ploceidae), seven of which have red C4-ketocarotenoid coloration were analysed. Despite the conserved retinal function and pleiotropy of CYP2J19, analyses indicate that the gene has been positively selected throughout the radiation of birds, including sites within functional domains described in related CYP (cytochrome P450) loci. Analyses of eight further CYP loci across 25 species show that positive selection is common in this gene family in birds. There was no evidence for a change in selection pressure on CYP2J19 following co-option for red coloration in the weaverbirds. Conclusions: The results presented here are consistent with an ancestral conserved function of CYP2J19 in the pigmentation of red retinal oil droplets used for colour vision, and its subsequent co-option for red integumentary coloration. The cause of positive selection on CYP2J19 is unclear, but may be partly related to compensatory mutations related to selection at the adjacent gene CYP2J40.
The Ogievetsky-Polubarinov massive gravity and the benign Boulware-Deser mode

description: We present our analysis of the theory constructed in 1965 by Ogievetsky and Polubarinov (OP) -- the first ever theory of interacting massive gravitons. Its mass term is adjusted in such a way that the non-linear field equations imply as a consequence the linear Hilbert-Lorentz condition, which restricts the spin of states in the theory. Strikingly, for special parameter values this theory coincides with one of the "ghost-free" massive gravity models rediscovered only in 2010. For generic parameter values, however, it propagates 6 degrees of freedom and shows ghost around flat space. Surprizingly, we find that the de Sitter space remains stable for a large region of the parameter space, provided that the Hubble expansion rate is large enough, hence the Boulware-Deser mode is benign in this case. We study also other solutions and find that the Milne universe -- a sector of Minkowski space -- is stable in the UV limit. This presumably implies that at the non-linear level the ghost instability in flat space develops only for long waves, similarly to the classical Jeans instability.

description: Many existing optical meteor trajectory estimation methods use the approximation that the velocity of the meteor at the beginning of its luminous phase is equivalent to its velocity before atmospheric entry. Meteoroid kinetic energy loss prior to the luminous phase cannot be measured, but for some masses and entry geometries neglecting this loss may lead to non-negligible deceleration prior to thermal ablation. Using a numerical meteoroid ablation model, we simulate the kinematics of meteoroids beginning at 180 km with initial velocities ranging from 11 km/s to 71 km/s, and compare model velocities at the moment of detection to measurements. We validate the simulations by comparing the simulated luminous beginning heights with observed beginning heights of different populations of meteors detected with different optical systems. We find that most low-velocity meteoroids have a significant velocity difference of 100 m/s to 750 m/s (depending on meteoroid type, mass, and observation system). This systematic underestimate of meteoroid speeds also results in systematically lower semi-major axes for meteoroid orbits.

description: This thesis argues that Hezbollah adapted a dual identity, with a political party and military wing, in order to serve and protect its constituents. It discusses the Lebanese Civil War and the environment in which Hezbollah was created. The thesis relies on the narratives in Hezbollah’s leadership’s speeches, as well as the evolving Manifesto, to demonstrate the underlying motives for the group’s transition after the war was over in the early 1990

description: This paper considers solving convex quadratic programs (QPs) in a real-time setting using a regularized and smoothed Fischer-Burmeister method (FBRS). The Fischer-Burmeister function is used to map the optimality conditions of the quadratic program to a nonlinear system of equations which is solved using Newton's method. Regularization and smoothing are applied to improve the practical performance of the algorithm and a merit function is used to globalize convergence. FBRS is simple to code, easy to warmstart, robust to early termination, and has attractive theoretical properties, making it appealing for real-time and embedded applications. Numerical experiments using several predictive control examples show that the proposed method is competitive with other state of the art solvers.

description: The recently developed formalism for the evaluation of nuclear form factors in neutrinoless double beta decay is applied to $^{48}Ca$, $^{76}Ge$, $^{82}Se$, $^{100}Mo$, $^{128}Te$ and $^{130}Te$ nuclei. Explicit analytical expressions that follows from this theoretical development, in the single mode model for the decay of $^{48}Ca$, have been worked out. They are useful both for testing the full numerical calculations, and for analytically checking the consistency with other formalisms. Large configuration space calculations are compared with previous studies, where alternative formulations were used. Yet, besides using the G-matrix as residual interaction, we here use a simple $δ$-force. Attention is paid to the connected effects of the short range nuclear correlations and the finite nucleon size. Constraints on lepton number violating terms in the weak Hamiltonian (effective neutrino Majorana mass and effective right-handed current coupling strengths) are deduced.

description: Background: Larval stages of the sibling species of parasitic nematodes Anisakis simplex sensu stricto (AS) and Anisakis pegreffii (AP) are responsible for a fish-borne zoonosis, known as anisakiasis, that humans acquire via the ingestion of raw or undercooked infected fish or fish-based products. These two species differ in geographical distribution, genetic background and peculiar traits involved in pathogenicity. However, thus far, little is known of key molecules potentially involved in host-parasite interactions. Here, high-throughput RNA-Seq and bioinformatics analyses of sequence data were applied to the characterization of the whole sets of transcripts expressed by infective larvae of AS and AP, as well as of their pharyngeal tissues, in a bid to identify transcripts potentially involved in tissue invasion and host-pathogen interplay. Results: Approximately ~34,000,000 single-end reads were generated from cDNA libraries for each species. Transcripts identified in AS and AP encoded 19,403 and 10,424 putative peptides, respectively, and were classified based on homology searches, protein motifs, Gene Ontology and biological pathway mapping. Differential gene expression analysis yielded 226 and 339 transcripts up-regulated in the pharyngeal regions of AS and AP, respectively, compared with their corresponding whole-larvae datasets. These included proteolytic enzymes, molecules encoding anaesthetics, inhibitors of primary hemostasis and virulence factors, anticoagulants and immunomodulatory peptides. Conclusions: This work provides the scientific community with a list of key transcripts expressed by AS and AP pharyngeal tissues and corresponding annotation information which represents a ready-to-use resource for future functional studies of biological pathways specifically involved in host-parasite interplay.

description: We report the discovery with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) of mHz X-ray brightness oscillations from the "clocked burster." NICER observed the source in the periods 2017 June 20 - 29, July 11 - 13, and September 9 - 15, for a total useful exposure of 34 ks. Two consecutive dwells obtained on 2017 September 9 revealed highly significant oscillations at a frequency of 8 mHz. The fractional, sinusoidal modulation amplitude increases from 0.7 % at 1 keV to approximately 2 % at 6 keV. Similar oscillations were also detected at lower significance in three additional dwells. The oscillation frequency and amplitude are consistent with those of mHz QPOs reported in other accreting neutron star systems. A thermonuclear X-ray burst was also observed on 2017 June 22. The burst properties and X-ray colors are both consistent with the source being in a soft spectral state during these observations, findings that are confirmed by ongoing monitoring with MAXI and SWIFT-BAT. Assuming that the mHz oscillations are associated with black body emission from the neutron star surface, modeling of the phase-resolved spectra shows that the oscillation is consistent with being produced by modulation of the temperature component of this emission. In this interpretation, the black body normalization, proportional to the emitting surface area, is consistent with being constant through the oscillation cycle. We place the observations in the context of the current theory of marginally stable burning and briefly discuss the potential for constraining neutron star properties using mHz oscillations.
