Addressing Inequities in the International Refugee Regime: Exploring Burden Sharing Strategies to Improve Refugee Protection
Creators: name: Lessard, Brianna
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: Host countries are often forced to assume responsibility for most of the burden related to refugee crises and protracted refugee situations, despite wide participation of United Nations (UN) member states in the international refugee regime. This paper will explore whether the UN should create and implement an official burden sharing agreement in order to more equitably address refugee crises and protracted refugee situations, and if so, what style of burden sharing agreement would be most effective. After identifying and defining key terms and concepts, I will analyze the 1951 Convention and how refugee protection has been inadequate due to inequitable sharing of the refugee burden. I will use the Syrian refugee crisis and refugee situation in Tanzania as case studies. Two burden sharing policy options will be assessed in this paper: a global, pre-established scheme suggested by James C. Hathaway, and a regional, ad-hoc scheme modeled after the Comprehensive Plan of Action for Indochinese Refugees. I will finish by recommending the option that I believe will provide the best burden sharing strategy for the international refugee regime.

description: La introducción del Robo Advisor ha surgido como una alternativa en la asesoría de inversión en el mercado de valores, puesto que representa beneficios para los participantes del mercado, como la reducción de costos y de los tiempos de respuesta. Sin embargo, la adopción de herramientas digitales de asesoría ha levantado varias discusiones desde el punto de vista regulatorio. En este documento se resaltan 3 discusiones: i) el proceso de conocimiento del cliente, ii) la administración de conflictos de interés y iii) las políticas de inversión detrás de la herramienta y su efecto en el mercado. En la medida en que no se tratan de problemas nuevos ni exclusivos de los Robo Advisor, se pretende resolver a la pregunta de si ¿sería necesario una nueva regulación para abordar los desafíos en materia de conocimiento del cliente, conflictos de interés y adecuadas políticas de inversión frente al Robo Advisor en Colombia?
description: The introduction of Robo Advisory has emerged as an alternative in investment advice in the securities market, since it represents benefits for market participants such as reduced costs and response times. However, the introduction of this type of technology also entails a challenge for the regulator, which is governed by rules that do not necessarily advance at the same pace. Specifically, the adoption of digital advisory tools has raised several discussions from the regulatory point of view. This paper highlights 3 discussions: i) the know-your-client process, ii) conflicts of interest management and iii) investment policies behind the tool and its effect on the market. To the extent that these are neither new nor exclusive problems of Robo Advisors, the paper seeks to answer the question of would a new regulation be necessary to address the challenges in terms of client knowledge, conflicts of interest and adequate investment policies regarding Robo Advisors in Colombia.
Black Hole and Fuzzy Objects in BFSS Matrix Model

description: We analyze fuzzy configurations of D0-branes in BFSS matrix model as microstates of black hole. Fuzzy configurations of D0-branes consist of localized fuzzy objects in 3 spatial directions which are smeared into 6 internal directions. Since the solutions are time dependent, these are non-BPS configurations and have internal energy compared with static case. Especially we examine the smeared fuzzy sphere in the BFSS matrix model, which will correspond to the microstate of the charged black hole in 4 dimensions, and compare the effective potential in that background with the result obtained by the near horizon geometry of the black 0-brane. The qualitative features of two descriptions agree with each other, thus we expect the smeared fuzzy sphere corresponds to one of the microstates of the charged black hole. We also examine the smeared fuzzy cylinder which will correspond to the flat space time.

description: Phenomenology of neutralino dark matter in the minimal supersymmetric model is discussed for a scenario where the lightest Higgs boson mass is lighter than 114.4 GeV. We show that the scenario is consistent not only with many collider experiments but also with the observed relic abundance of dark matter. The allowed region may be probed by experiments of Bs to mu^+ mu^- in near future. The scenario predicts a large scattering cross section between the dark matter and ordinary matter and thus it may be tested in present direct detection experiments of dark matter.

description: We present multiwavelength observations for a large sample of microjansky radio sources detected in ultradeep 1.4 GHz maps centered on the Hubble Deep Field-North (HDF-N) and the Hawaii Survey Fields SSA 13 and SSA 22. Our spectroscopic redshifts for 169 radio sources reveal a flat median redshift distribution, and these sources are hosted by similarly luminous optical L* galaxies, regardless of redshift. We suggest that the absence of low optical luminosity galaxies at low redshifts, where there are no selection effects, is due to small galaxies not being efficient at retaining the cosmic rays necessary to host microjansky radio sources. From our submillimeter measurements for 278 radio sources, we find error-weighted mean 850 μm fluxes of 1.72 ± 0.09 mJy for the total sample, 2.37 ± 0.13 mJy for the optically faint (I > 23.5) subsample, and 1.04 ± 0.13 mJy for the optically bright (I < 23.5) subsample. We significantly (>3 σ) detect in the submillimeter 50 of the radio sources, 38 with I > 23.5. Spectroscopic redshifts for three of the I < 23.5 submillimeter-detected radio sources are in the range z = 1.0-3.4, and all show active galactic nucleus (AGN) signatures. Using only the submillimeter-mapped regions, we find that 69% ± 9% of the submillimeter-detected radio population are at I > 23.5. We also find that 66% ± 7% of the S850 μm > 5 mJy (>4 σ) sources are radio-identified. We use our spectroscopic sample to determine the evolution with redshift of the radio power, and hence the far-infrared (FIR) luminosity (through the local FIR-radio correlation). We find that millimetric redshift estimates at low redshifts are best made with an FIR template intermediate between a Milky Way-type galaxy and a starburst galaxy, and those at high redshifts with an Arp 220 template.

description: A framework is developed to allow emulsification to be used to fabricate functional structures from, and study the properties of, pristine layered nanosheets. Liquid-exfoliated few-layer graphene and MoS2 are demonstrated to stablize emulsions which exhibit system-scale electrical conductivity at ultra-low nanosheet volume fractions. When deposited on a substrate, the controlled drying dynamics of these emulsions facilitates their application as inks where the lack of any coffee ring effect allows manual deposition of high conductivity films. In order to broaden the range of compositions and subsequently applications, an understanding of emulsion stability and orientation in terms of surface energy of the three phases is developed. Importantly, this model facilitates determination of the surface energies of the nanosheets themselves and subsequently allows design of emulsions. Finally, emulsification by surfactant-exfoliated nanosheets and emulsion inversion using basic solution are demonstrated to allow water-based processing where composition and orientation can be tailored to enable applications.

description: We present multiwavelength observations of a large-amplitude oscillation of a polar crown filament on 15 October 2002. The oscillation occurred during the slow rise (about 1 km/s) of the filament. It completed three cycles before sudden acceleration and eruption. The oscillation and following eruption were clearly seen in observations recorded by the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope onboard SOHO. The oscillation was seen only in a part of the filament, and it appears to be a standing oscillation rather than a propagating wave. The period of oscillation was about two hours and did not change significantly during the oscillation. We also identified the oscillation as a "winking filament" in the H-alpha images taken by the Flare Monitoring Telescope, and as a spatial displacement in 17 GHz microwave images from Nobeyama Radio Heliograph (NoRH). The filament oscillation seems to be triggered by magnetic reconnection between a filament barb and nearby emerging magnetic flux as was evident from the MDI magnetogram observations. No flare was observed to be associated with the onset of the oscillation. We also discuss possible implications of the oscillation as a diagnostic tool for the eruption mechanisms. We suggest that in the early phase of eruption a part of the filament lost its equilibrium first, while the remaining part was still in an equilibrium and oscillated.

Testing for Main Random Effects in Two-Way Random and Mixed Effects Models: Modifying the F Statistic

Subjects: subject: Probability

description: A procedure for testing the significance of the main random effect is proposed under a model which does not require the traditional assumptions of symmetry, and homoscedasticity and normality for the error term and random effects. To accommodate this level of model generality, and also unbalanced designs, suitable adjustments to the F test are made. The extensive simulations performed under the random effects model, and the unrestricted and restricted versions of the mixed effects model, indicate that the classical F procedure is extremely liberal under heteroscedasticity and unbalancedness. The proposed test procedure performs well in all settings and is comparable to the classical F test when the classical assumptions are met. An analysis of a dataset from the Mussel Watch Project is presented.

description: El respaldo institucional colombiano al mecanismo de Reducción de Emisiones a causa de la Deforestación y la Degradación de los bosques (REDD+, por sus siglas en inglés) ha contribuido en el último lustro a su acelerada implementación. Si bien dicho instrumento es una alternativa que puede traer múltiples beneficios, su proceso de implementación se ha visto amenazado por riesgos de diverso orden, asociados al marco jurídico e institucional. Por ello, cobra relevancia identificar los riesgos que amenazan la seguridad jurídica del mecanismo REDD+ en Colombia. Para tal fin, el presente artículo plantea, a partir de una mirada a los cuatro pilares o elementos fundamentales que la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático considera como requisito sine qua non para la implementación del mecanismo REDD+, una propuesta de identificación de riesgos que emergen del proceso de implementación de REDD+ en Colombia y que comprometen su seguridad jurídica.
description: Colombian institutional support for the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism has contributed in the last five years to its accelerated implementation. Although this instrument is an alternative that can bring multiple benefits, its implementation process has been threatened by a variety of risks related to the legal and institutional framework. Therefore, it is important to identify the threats to the legal certainty of the REDD+ mechanism in Colombia. To that end, this article proposes, based on a look at the four fundamental pillars or elements that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change considers as a sine qua non requirement for the implementation of the REDD+ mechanism, a proposal to identify the risks arising from the REDD+ implementation process in Colombia that impact its legal certainty.

Regulation, Change and the Work Environment

description: This special issue of Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations presents articles based on original research on fundamental changes to work and work arrangements that undermine workers’ health and safety, exacerbate health inequalities and pose major challenges to those who want to resist a 'race to the bottom' in working conditions and imagine and promote regulatory reforms to better protect workers and their health. The papers in this special issue not only make a contribution to knowledge about work intensification and employment precariousness and their impact on health and safety, but also shed light on further challenges presented by the current globalized work environment: the association of precariousness with international, regional and local employment-related mobility, both in developed and developing countries; the commuting difficulties faced by some workers in precarious employment; the non-standard work schedules resulting from work intensification pressures and the consequential health and work family balance difficulties; and the dilution of responsibility for health and safety and for workers’ compensation in international supply chains. One paper illustrates an old but still pervasive challenge: the production of a 'paradigm of doubt' which uses and even produces scientific uncertainty to obscure the effects of hazards to workers’ health, thus delaying the prevention and compensation of their negative effects on health.

description: The simulation of the behavior of the human brain is one of the most ambitious challenges today with a non-end of important applications. We can find many different initiatives in the USA, Europe and Japan which attempt to achieve such a challenging target. In this work, we focus on the most important European initiative (the Human Brain Project) and on one of the models developed in this project. This tool simulates the spikes triggered in a neural network by computing the voltage capacitance on the neurons' morphology, being one of the most precise simulators today. In the present work, we have evaluated the use of MPI+OpenMP tasking on top of this framework. We prove that this approach is able to achieve a good scaling even when computing a relatively low workload (number of neurons) per node. One of our targets consists of achieving not only a highly scalable implementation, but also to develop a tool with a high degree of abstraction without losing control and performance by using \emph{MPI+OpenMP} tasking. The main motivation of this work is the evaluation of this cutting-edge simulation on multi-morphology neural networks. The simulation of a high number of neurons, which are completely different among them, is an important challenge. In fact, in the multi-morphology simulations, we find an important unbalancing between the nodes, mainly due to the differences in the neurons, which causes an important under-utilization of the available resources. In this work, the authors present and evaluate mechanisms to deal with this and reduce the time of this kind of simulations considerably.

description: The use of chiral perturbation theory in extracting physical K to pi pi matrix elements from matrix elements calculated at unphysical kinematics is outlined. In particular, the possibility of utilizing pions with non-zero momentum in the final state, and of using partial quenching is discussed. Preliminary (not physically normalized) Delta I=3/2 (27,1) K to pi pi matrix elements are calculated on the RBC/UKQCD $24^3 \times 64$, $L_s=16$ lattices, using 2+1 dynamical flavors and domain wall fermions, with an inverse lattice spacing of $a^{-1}=1.729(28) GeV$. Effective mass plots are presented for a light sea quark mass of $m_l^{sea}=0.005$, and various valence quark masses. The plateaux are fit and $E_{ππ}-m_K$ is extracted.

description: Several months ago, Phil Bourne, the initiator and frequent author of the wildly successful and incredibly useful “Ten Simple Rules” series, suggested that some statisticians put together a Ten Simple Rules article related to statistics. (One of the rules for writing a PLOS Ten Simple Rules article is to be Phil Bourne [1]. In lieu of that, we hope effusive praise for Phil will suffice.) Implicit in the guidelines for writing Ten Simple Rules [1] is “know your audience.” We developed our list of rules with researchers in mind: researchers having some knowledge of statistics, possibly with one or more statisticians available in their building, or possibly with a healthy do-it-yourself attitude and a handful of statistical packages on their laptops. We drew on our experience in both collaborative research and teaching, and, it must be said, from our frustration at being asked, more than once, to “take a quick look at my student’s thesis/my grant application/my referee’s report: it needs some input on the stats, but it should be pretty straightforward.” There are some outstanding resources available that explain many of these concepts clearly and in much more detail than we have been able to do here: among our favorites are Cox and Donnelly [2], Leek [3], Peng [4], Kass et al. [5], Tukey [6], and Yu [7]. Every article on statistics requires at least one caveat. Here is ours: we refer in this article to “science” as a convenient shorthand for investigations using data to study questions of interest. This includes social science, engineering, digital humanities, finance, and so on. Statisticians are not shy about reminding administrators that statistical science has an impact on nearly every part of almost all organizations.

description: The compound 2-mercaptobenzothizaole (MBT) has been frequently detected in wastewater and surface water and is a potential threat to both aquatic organisms and human health (its mutagenic potential has been demonstrated). This study investigated the degradation routes of MBT in the anode of a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) and the involved microbial communities. The results indicated that graphene-modified anodes promoted the presence of more enriched, developed, and specific communities compared to bare anodes. Moreover, consecutive additions of the OH substituent to the benzene ring of MBT were only detected in the reactor equipped with the graphene-treated electrode. Both phenomena, together with the application of an external voltage, may be related to the larger reduction of biotoxicity observed in the MEC equipped with graphene-modified anodes (46.2 eqtox/m3 to 27.9 eqtox/m3).

description: The main focus in cDNA microarray analysis is determining which genes are differentially expressed. Scientists apply known statistical methods to model the structure of the experiment or develop new approaches for assessing statistical significance and assume that the data consist of the signal plus random noise. Here, we report the results of some exploratory analyses of such data that show the existence of sources of significant systematic variation which are not necessarily accounted for in standard analyses. In particular, we construct a linearization procedure and compare its effectiveness with that of Yang, et al. (2001). Furthermore, we consider not only the variation due to the pin/print-tip as in previous work, but also the row and column location on the microarray chip, and the relative location from the well-plate. Removal of this extra variation can affect both the size of differential gene expression, and which genes are inferred to be differentially expressed.

description: We report on observations of the eclipsing and interacting binary beta Lyrae from the Suzaku X-ray telescope. This system involves an early B star embedded in an optically and geometrically thick disk that is siphoning atmospheric gases from a less massive late B II companion. Motivated by an unpublished X-ray spectrum from the Einstein X-ray telescope suggesting unusually hard emission, we obtained time with Suzaku for pointings at three different phases within a single orbit. From the XIS detectors, the softer X-ray emission appears typical of an early-type star. What is surprising is the remarkably unchanging character of this emission, both in luminosity and in spectral shape, despite the highly asymmetric geometry of the system. We see no eclipse effect below 10 keV. The constancy of the soft emission is plausibly related to the wind of the embedded B star and Thomson scattering of X-rays in the system, although it might be due to extended shock structures arising near the accretion disk as a result of the unusually high mass-transfer rate. There is some evidence from the PIN instrument for hard emission in the 10-60 keV range. Follow-up observations with the RXTE satellite will confirm this preliminary detection.

description: The implementation and practicality of quantum algorithms highly hinge on the quality of operations within a quantum processor. Therefore, including realistic error models in quantum computing simulation platforms is crucial for testing these algorithms. Existing classical simulation techniques of quantum information processing devices exhibit a trade-off between scalability (number of qubits that can be simulated) and accuracy (how close the simulation is to the target error model). In this paper, we introduce a new simulation approach that relies on approximating the density matrix evolution by a stochastic sum of unitary and measurement channels within a pure state simulation environment. This model shows an improvement of at least one order of magnitude in terms of accuracy compared to the best known stochastic approaches while allowing to simulate a larger number of qubits compared to the exact density matrix simulation. Furthermore, we used this approach to realistically simulate the Grover's algorithm and the surface code 17 using gate set tomography characterization of quantum operations as a noise model.

description: En Colombia la justicia penal frente a los delitos de captación de ahorro del público se ha enfocado en proferir condenas contra los directivos, representantes o administradores de las sociedades captadoras que no ejecutaron un manejo adecuado de los recursos económicos depositados, pero no ha garantizado una reparación integral de las víctimas que depositaron o invirtieron su dinero en sus fondos, en la medida que la justicia penal se ha direccionado en aplicar un enfoque primordialmente sancionatorio contra los agentes captadores, pero ha subvalorado el rol de las víctimas que fueron defraudadas en su confianza legítima al depositar sus dineros, sin que se les haya restituido o por lo menos compensado de manera suficiente en el marco de una justicia restaurativa, los daños que se les causó en su contra.
description: In Colombia, criminal justice against the crimes of collecting savings from the public has focused on issuing sentences against the directors, representatives or administrators of the collecting societies that did not execute an adequate management of the economic resources deposited, but it has not guaranteed reparation. of the victims who deposited or invested their money in their funds, to the extent that criminal justice has focused on applying a primarily punitive approach against recruiting agents, but has underestimated the role of victims who were defrauded of their legitimate trust by depositing their money, without having been restitution or at least sufficiently compensated within the framework of restorative justice, the damages that were caused against them.
Semi-parametric second-order efficient estimation of the period of a signal

description: This paper is concerned with the estimation of the period of an unknown periodic function in Gaussian white noise. A class of estimators of the period is constructed by means of a penalized maximum likelihood method. A second-order asymptotic expansion of the risk of these estimators is obtained. Moreover, the minimax problem for the second-order term is studied and an estimator of the preceding class is shown to be second order efficient.

Les parcours d'accès au logement des demandeurs d'asile en situation d'itinérance visible à Ottawa

description: Ce mémoire se penche sur le parcours d’accès au logement des demandeurs d’asile en situation d’itinérance visible au Canada. Précisément, il a été question de comprendre comment ces personnes ont réussi à se créer un chez-soi au Canada et comment le sentiment de chez-soi (ou son absence) peut avoir des effets sur l’intégration des individus en attente d’une régularisation de leur statut. Pour ce faire, des entrevues avec cinq anciens demandeurs d’asile ont été effectuées. Les résultats de cette recherche ont démontré que, pour les participants, non seulement il a été impossible pour eux de développer un sentiment de chez-soi pendant qu’ils étaient en centre d’hébergement, mais cet épisode d’itinérance a également retardé le moment où ils ont pu commencer à se sentir chez eux au Canada, et donc à s’intégrer dans leur nouvelle société d’accueil. Effectivement, en raison d’obstacles sociaux, personnels et physiques, les demandeurs d’asile n’ont pas pu s’approprier leur milieu de vie en centre d’hébergement. Cependant, l’accessibilité à un logement subventionné a favorisé le sentiment de chez-soi. D’ailleurs, cela a également permis de débuter leur processus d’intégration au Canada. Finalement, à l’aide des résultats, on retrouve dans ce mémoire des pistes de solution envisageables en service social.
Symmetric, Coherent, Choquet Capacities

description: Choquet capacities are a generalization of probability measures that arise in robustness, decision theory and game theory. Many capacities that arise in robustness are symmetric or can be transformed into symmetric capacities. We characterize the extreme points of the set of upper distribution functions corresponding to coherent, symmetric Choquet capacities on [0,1]. We also show that the set of 2-alternating capacities is a simplex and we give a Choquet representation of this set.

description: We discuss calculation of nuclear corrections to the structure functions for the deep-inelastic scattering of muon and (anti)neutrino. Our approach includes a QCD description of the nucleon structure functions as well as the treatment of Fermi motion and nuclear binding, off-shell correction to bound nucleon structure functions, nuclear pion excess and nuclear shadowing. We emphasize the dependence of nuclear effects on the type and C-parity of (anti)neutrino structure functions. We also examine the interplay between different nuclear effects in the Adler and the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rules for nuclei.

description: OBJECTIVE: The fetal programming hypothesis posits that in utero exposure to stress can alter prenatal brain development and lifelong stress response. However, human studies linking objective prenatal stressors to offspring mental illness, especially depression, are rare. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between mothers' exposure to prenatal stressful life events (SLEs) and offspring depression. METHOD: The sample comprised 10,569 members of a prospective population-based cohort, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC). Mothers reported on the occurrence and impact of 42 prenatal SLEs. Offspring depressive symptoms were assessed using a computerized version of the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised (CIS-R) at age 17 to 18, as well as 13 self-report statements from the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ) at 6 time points from ages 10 to 11 to 18 to 19. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) was used to identify trajectories of depressive symptoms across adolescence. RESULTS: After adjusting for potential confounders, a 1-unit increase in maternal SLE scores (range, 0-168) during gestation was associated with increased offspring depressive symptoms (β = 0.07, p < .01) and major depression (odds ratio [OR] = 1.03, 95% CI 1.01, 1.06) at age 17 to 18. LCGA revealed 4 trajectories of depressive symptoms. High maternal SLEs (fourth quartile) were associated with membership in the trajectory characterized by stable, high levels of depression from age 10 to 11 to 18 to 19 years (OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.09, 2.71). CONCLUSION: These results provide support for the fetal programming hypothesis, demonstrating that prenatal exposure to acute stress is associated with offspring depression in adolescence. Stress management may be of benefit for expectant mothers.

description: Las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas en Colombia se encuentran expandiendo los límites de sus metodologías de investigación y creación. En un ejercicio continuo de experimentaciones y transformaciones entre las dinámicas del viaje, la vida cotidiana y los procesos creativos dentro de la vida del artista en la historia de occidente emergen las residencias para artistas en las que la cotidianidad dentro del lugar y los procesos de creación se encuentran indiferenciados y plantean la posibilidad de hacer de estos experimentos una forma de preguntarse qué es vivir con los otros y cómo podemos pensar la creación de relaciones estéticas entre el arte, el cuerpo y el lugar.
description: Contemporary artistic practices in Colombia are expanding the limits of their research and creation methodologies. In a continuous exercise of experimentations and transformations between the dynamics of travel, daily life and creative processes within the life of the artist in the history of the West, residencies for artists emerge in which the daily life within the place and the processes of creation are undifferentiated and raise the possibility of making these experiments a way of asking what it is to live with others and how we can think about the creation of aesthetic relationships between art, the body and the place.
