description:
National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) can act as a bridge between national contexts and international human rights standards. This research explores their role in protecting refugee rights, with a focus on the principle of non-refoulement. It examines the mandates, priorities and actions, over the last five years (2019-2024), of 20 A-status NHRIs across various world regions. The analysis shows that their human rights mandates allow them to engage in a wide range of relevant activities - including monitoring, notably at borders, legislative and policy advice and public advocacy - and to collaborate regularly with various regional or international institutions. While several of them are also empowered to handle individual complaints, trigger constitutional reviews, and intervene in judicial proceedings, margins for progress appear significant in these areas. In practice, several institutions adopt innovative approaches but few have in fact set refugee rights and non-refoulement as a thematic priority for their work. Most do not seem to deploy the systematic and continuous efforts their national context arguably calls for. Further efforts could well be constrained by, inter alia, issues of independence and/or limitations in capacity and resources - but further research would be required to identify key factors. The study ultimately confirms NHRIs’ potential but suggests a necessity for these institutions - as well as regional and international networks - to enhance their focus on refugee protection, and display greater consistency in initiatives and collaborations, including with UNHCR. This note features examples of existing practices that could serve as sources of inspiration.

description: Given sufficiently many components, it is often cited that finite mixture models can approximate any other probability density function (pdf) to an arbitrary degree of accuracy. Unfortunately, the nature of this approximation result is often left unclear. We prove that finite mixture models constructed from pdfs in $\mathcal{C}_{0}$ can be used to conduct approximation of various classes of approximands in a number of different modes. That is, we prove approximands in $\mathcal{C}_{0}$ can be uniformly approximated, approximands in $\mathcal{C}_{b}$ can be uniformly approximated on compact sets, and approximands in $\mathcal{L}_{p}$ can be approximated with respect to the $\mathcal{L}_{p}$, for $p\in\left[1,\infty\right)$. Furthermore, we also prove that measurable functions can be approximated, almost everywhere.

description: This paper develops supergame theory for price setting oligopoly where firms produce perfect substitutes.- Results are: First price setting supergame equilibria may support higher industry price and lower industry output than quantity setting equilibria even when there are no capacity constraints at the firm level -- contrary to the classical static results of Bertrand and Cournot. Second, the maximum price that can be supported by trigger strategies is not monotonic as a function of the number of firms and capacity of each. Third, properties of industry equilibrium. under free entry but possible tacit collusion on price are developed. We show that entry is likely to decrease welfare if each entrant uses up resources in establishing his firm.

description: We define a class of dynamical systems on the sphere analogous to the baker map on the torus. The classical maps are characterized by dynamical entropy equal to ln 2. We construct and investigate a family of the corresponding quantum maps. In the simplest case of the model the system does not possess a time reversal symmetry and the quantum map is represented by real, orthogonal matrices of even dimension. The semiclassical ensemble of quantum maps, obtained by averaging over a range of matrix sizes, displays statistical properties characteristic of circular unitary ensemble. Time evolution of such systems may be studied with the help of the SU(2) coherent states and the generalized Husimi distribution.

Exploring the world beneath your feet : soil mesofauna as potential biological indicators of success in reclaimed soils
Creators: name: Battigelli, Jeffrey P.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Soil formation is crucial for successful reclamation of industrial affected land. Companies are anxious to obtain ecological data indicating success of their remediation efforts. Soil fauna are a vital part of soil ecosystem function, actively involved in decomposition, nutrient cycling and soil formation. Soil mesofauna are an abundant and species-rich group of organisms in soil that may also provide a useful function as biological indicators of habitat disturbance, soil quality and reclamation success. The primary objective of this study was to compare soil mesofauna communities among natural and reclaimed sites and establish baseline data to allow for long-term monitoring of recolonization on disturbed sites. Reclamation prescription significantly influenced density and community structure of soil mesofauna. Densities were greater in natural soils than in reclaimed soils and community structure differed between natural and reclaimed soils. Integration of this biological data with other monitored soil properties should provide a better overall indication of soil ecosystem recovery and reclamation success.

description: Axion haloscope detectors require high-$Q$ cavities with tunable TM$_{010}$ modes whose resonant electric field occupies as much of the full volume of the cavity as possible. An analytical study of the effects of longitudinal symmetry breaking within microwave cavities was conducted to better understand the mode structure. The study revealed longitudinal symmetry breaking of the cavities was the mechanism for avoided mode crossings (AMC) in cylindrical microwave cavities. The results showed the size of the gaps in the search frequency spectrum due to an AMC was roughly proportional to the magnitude of symmetry breaking for small perturbations.

description: Conflict between psittacines (birds within the parrot family) and agriculture is a growing, unstudied threat to psittacine conservation throughout the Caribbean. The intensification of conflict as an apparent outcome of successful conservation interventions is of particular concern on the island of Dominica. Here, conflict between the island's globally threatened parrots and citrus farmers is a potential roadblock to advancing the gains of threatened species recovery programs. This dissertation provides empirical data on the extent and severity of the losses experienced by farmers due to parrots, and the degree to which the resulting conflict has provoked a parrot conservation backlash.  This dissertation analyzes the causes of citrus fruit loss including the role of parrot frugivory in these losses and the predictors of parrot frugivory at multiple scales. It also highlights parrot frugivory as a source of a poorly understood commensal relationship with small passerine birds and suggests that the role of psittacines as top-down modifiers of canopy community dynamics is underappreciated. Using social science research methods I illustrate the importance of investigating the meanings and value-oriented attitudes that stakeholders hold towards parrots. I show that it is possible for popular conservation tools such as the flagship concept to inadvertently marginalize other closely related species within a local culture, and that this may be particularly important when human-wildlife conflicts are present. Finally the dissertation illustrates that, overall, crop loss attributed to parrots on Dominica has become a surrogate issue and focal point within a much larger public dispute about the state of agriculture and the security of farmers on Dominica.  The findings therefore illustrate the inherent complexity of conflicts involving wild animals and underscore that efforts to understand and mitigate such conflicts in a traditional reductionist manner as purely wildlife-crop loss issues may be misguided. I therefore advocate that multidisciplinary systems perspectives are essential for both the study and management of this and similar conflicts.

Employees--Rating of
Social comparison

description: This dissertation examines to what extent social comparison is emphasized in performance evaluations of work organizations, how employees react to it, and whether there is an alternative to it. Operationalizing social comparison as an evaluation process that compares an employee’s performance to their coworkers’ performance, Studies 1 and 2 demonstrate that social comparison is emphasized to a stronger extent in collectivistic cultures than in individualistic cultures. Studies 3 and 4 find that employees in collectivistic cultures perceive higher procedural fairness when they receive social comparison evaluations as compared to employees in individualistic cultures. The mediation analyses from Studies 2 and 4 indicate that these findings are explained by the perceived descriptive and injunctive norms of social comparisons within collectivistic versus individualistic cultures, which shape people’s general attitudes toward using social comparison in evaluation settings. In collectivistic cultures that put strong emphasis on people’s social context, social comparison is considered to be a necessary component of performance evaluations. In contrast, in individualistic cultures where people focus on the specific characteristics of each person, social comparison is believed to be more or less irrelevant.
      Given the aversive effect of social comparison in individualistic cultures, the second chapter of this dissertation investigates whether there is a proper alternative to social comparison in the context of performance evaluations. It finds that temporal comparison—which compares an employee’s performance to his or her own past performance—can be such an alternative. Temporal comparison secures employees’ perceptions of fairness by providing the beliefs that their evaluators are focusing on them and their specific characteristics. These findings imply that employees in individualistic cultures want their independent identities to be acknowledged at work, and providing temporal comparison evaluations is one way to fulfill such needs.

description: The Three-Body Parameter(3BP) $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-}$ is crucial to understanding Efimov physics, and a universal 3BP has been shown in experiments and theory in ultracold homonuclear gases. The 3BP of heteronuclear systems was predicted to possess much richer properties than the homonuclear counterparts for the large parameter space. In this work, we investigate the universal properties of $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-}$ for the Heavy-Heavy-Light(HHL) system with negative intraspecies scattering length $a_{\scriptscriptstyle HH}$. We find that $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-}$ follows a universal behavior determined by the van der Waals(vdW) interaction and the mass ratio. An analytic formula of $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-}$ is given as a function of $a_{\scriptscriptstyle HH}$, which allows an intuitive understanding of how does $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-}$ depend on the mass ratio and the vdW length $r_{\scriptscriptstyle vdW}$. In a special case, when the two heavy atoms are in resonance, $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-}$ is approximately a constant: $a^{\scriptscriptstyle(1)}_{\scriptscriptstyle-} = -(6.3\pm0.6)\, r_{\scriptscriptstyle vdW,HL}$.

description: We consider anisotropic cosmological models with an universe of dimension 4 or more, factorized into n>1 Ricci-flat spaces, containing an m-component perfect fluid of m non-interacting homogeneous minimally coupled scalar fields under special conditions. We describe the dynamics of the universe: It has a Kasner-like behaviour near the singularity and isotropizes during the expansion to infinity. Some of the considered models are integrable, and classical as well as quantum solutions are found. Some solutions produce inflation from "nothing". There exist classical asymptotically anti-de Sitter wormholes, and quantum wormholes with discrete spectrum.

description: The explosive growth of time-series data, the scale of time-series data (TSD) suggests that the scale and capability of many Internet of Things (IoT)-based applications has already been exceeded. Moreover, redundancy persists in TSD due to the correlation between information acquired via different sources. In this paper, we propose a cohort of dominant dataset selection algorithms for electricity consumption time-series data with a focus on discriminating the dominant dataset that is small dataset but capable of representing the kernel information carried by time-series data with an arbitrarily small error rate less than ". Furthermore, we prove that the selection problem of the minimum dominant dataset is an NP-complete problem. The affine transformation model is introduced to define the linear correlation relationship between time-series data objects. Our proposed framework consists of the scanning selection algorithm with O(n3) time complexity and the greedy selection algorithm with O(n4) time complexity, which are respectively proposed to select the dominant dataset based on the linear correlation distance between time-series data objects. The proposed algorithms are evaluated on the real electricity consumption data Harbin city in China. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms not only reduce the size of the extracted kernel dataset but also ensure the time-series data integrity in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

description: Despite its central role in modern cosmology, doubts are often expressed as to whether cosmological inflation is really a falsifiable theory. We distinguish two facets of inflation, one as a theory of initial conditions for the hot big bang and the other as a model for the origin of structure in the Universe. We argue that the latter can readily be excluded by observations, and that there are also a number of ways in which the former can find itself in conflict with observational data. Both aspects of the theory are indeed falsifiable.

description: In this work, we consider the Biot problem with uncertain poroelastic coefficients. The uncertainty is modelled using a finite set of parameters with prescribed probability distribution. We present the variational formulation of the stochastic partial differential system and establish its well-posedness. We then discuss the approximation of the parameter-dependent problem by non-intrusive techniques based on Polynomial Chaos decompositions. We specifically focus on sparse spectral projection methods, which essentially amount to performing an ensemble of deterministic model simulations to estimate the expansion coefficients. The deterministic solver is based on a Hybrid High-Order discretization supporting general polyhedral meshes and arbitrary approximation orders. We numerically investigate the convergence of the probability error of the Polynomial Chaos approximation with respect to the level of the sparse grid. Finally, we assess the propagation of the input uncertainty onto the solution considering an injection-extraction problem.

Wage Measurement Questions Raised By An Incomes Policy

Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: A wage stabilization program encounters many of the fundamental wage measurement problems that also face the Bureau of Labor Statistics as well as researchers who use wage data. Because millions of dollars are at stake in the stabilization program administrator's decisions, enormous pressure is brought to bear to find solutions to these problems that are precise and simple, yet consistent. The record of such a program, then, provides an interesting perspective on wage measurement issues. In this paper I describe some of the wage measurement questions that arose during the Carter stabilization program of 1978-80 and the solutions to those questions that were adopted by the Council on Wage and Price Stability. Lessons for wage measurement are drawn, where appropriate, though many of the questions remain unanswered to this day. Specific problems discussed include those of how to value incentive pay, future value compensation, pay increases accompanying promotions or seniority and changes in the weights of a wage index. In the absence of precise answers to the measurement questions raised here no concrete answers will be available to questions about the nature of wage change over the business cycle or of the level of productivity growth over time. Wage measurement is at the heart of these fundamental macroeconomic issues.

description: In 2003 concerns were raised by both state regulators and the nearby town of Questa, about the potential mobility of the 300 metre high Goathill North rock pile at the Questa Molybdenum Mine, located in the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico. The 3.4 million m³ rock pile was constructed between 1969 and 1973, when foundation movements were initiated at the toe of the pile underlain by pre-sheared material that had been creeping for over 30 years. This paper outlines the extensive investigations and instrumentation needed to verify the movement mechanism and to develop a mitigation program acceptable to all stakeholders. The mitigation program was divided into four phases involving the placing of a rock under drain and toe buttressing prior to moving equipment onto the moving rock pile for regrading and construction of surface water control features. Considerable effort was made to balance over 760,000 m³ of cut and fill and ensure that the sequencing of material movement maintained stable and safe conditions. Integral to the mitigation, was a comprehensive instrumentation and monitoring program that continued for over a year after completion.

description: Poole's analysis of the optimal choice of monetary policy instruments in a stochastic environment is extended to the case where the policymaker is concerned with stabilizing not only GNP, but its components as well. The effect of this extension is to move optimal policy in the direction of interest rate stabilization rather than money stabilization. This is because the way the money stabilization rule works is to force the interest-sensitive sectors of the economy to absorb shocks emanating from the rest of the system, and if the stability of the interest-sensitive sectors themselves is a policy goal, this is not optimal.

Learning to Estimate Pose and Shape of Hand-Held Objects from RGB Images

description: We develop a system for modeling hand-object interactions in 3D from RGB images that show a hand which is holding a novel object from a known category. We design a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for Hand-held Object Pose and Shape estimation called HOPS-Net and utilize prior work to estimate the hand pose and configuration. We leverage the insight that information about the hand facilitates object pose and shape estimation by incorporating the hand into both training and inference of the object pose and shape as well as the refinement of the estimated pose. The network is trained on a large synthetic dataset of objects in interaction with a human hand. To bridge the gap between real and synthetic images, we employ an image-to-image translation model (Augmented CycleGAN) that generates realistically textured objects given a synthetic rendering. This provides a scalable way of generating annotated data for training HOPS-Net. Our quantitative experiments show that even noisy hand parameters significantly help object pose and shape estimation. The qualitative experiments show results of pose and shape estimation of objects held by a hand "in the wild".

Social preference among affluent middle school students: Implications for short-term and long-term adjustment
Creators: Rowe, David Alexander
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: The primary aims of this study were to: 1) Examine prominent trajectories of social preference over the course of middle school among affluent adolescents; and 2) Identify which social preference trajectories are significantly linked to clinical status (i.e., levels of anxiety and depression) and academic performance among affluent adolescents in short-term (end of 8th grade) and long-term (end of 12th grade) adjustment. Social preference was operationalized as the difference between the number of an individual’s “liked most” peer nominations and “liked least” peer nominations, thus distinguishing middle schoolers who were genuinely prosocial, from those who may have been simultaneously well-regarded by some for their dominance or aggression, while also disliked by others in their peer group. Participants were 286, mostly Caucasian students (136 girls and 150 boys) from three middle schools in one town, where the mean annual family income was $124,000.  Questionnaires were used to collect data on clinical symptoms and other outcome variables. Data on academic performance was provided by the school. Using each student’s level of social preference in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades as grouping variables, five trajectories of social preference were identified across 6th, 7th, and 8th grade: consistently high, increasing over time, decreasing over time and two fluctuating trajectories that were both low in social preference. Fluctuating trajectories were labeled Low Cluster “A” and Low Cluster “V” (capturing their curvilinear patterns across three years) and subjected to further analyses. Multivariate analysis of variance was employed to examine the links between these five prominent social preference trajectories and five outcome variables. The trajectory of social preference across 6th, 7th, and 8th grades was not related to long-term adjustment in either clinical status or academic performance, but there were significant effects on short-term adjustment. Adolescents who were consistently high in social preference reported significantly higher 8th grade GPAs and significantly lower levels of anxiety and depression than those in other trajectories. Low Cluster “A”, which was characterized by an increase in social preference from 6th to 7th grade, and a subsequent decrease from 7th to 8th grade, exhibited the lowest GPA.  Low Cluster “V”, which was characterized by a decrease in social preference from 6th to 7th grade, and a subsequent increase from 7th to 8th grade, presented significantly more anxiety and depression. This study shows that, overall, middle school students at the low end of social preference suffer clinically and academically, but only in the short term (at the end of middle school) with differences dissipated by grade 12. Moreover, there are distinct changes in social status during middle school that are associated with academic and clinical status.

Separability for mixed states with operator Schmidt rank two

description: The operator Schmidt rank is the minimum number of terms required to express a state as a sum of elementary tensor factors. Here we provide a new proof of the fact that any bipartite mixed state with operator Schmidt rank two is separable, and can be written as a sum of two positive semidefinite matrices per site. Our proof uses results from the theory of free spectrahedra and operator systems, and illustrates the use of a connection between decompositions of quantum states and decompositions of nonnegative matrices. In the multipartite case, we prove that any Hermitian Matrix Product Density Operator (MPDO) of bond dimension two is separable, and can be written as a sum of at most four positive semidefinite matrices per site. This implies that these states can only contain classical correlations, and very few of them. In contrast, MPDOs of bond dimension three can contain an unbounded amount of classical correlations.

description: This dissertation aims to explore the relationship between social support and social and psychological wellbeing in the adult population of sexual and gender minorities, or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) adults. We apply Antonucci’s (1987) Convoy Model of Social Relations as a lens through which to conceptualize social support across four dimensions: structure, function, quality, and closeness. Chapter One contains an introduction to the LGBT adult population; a description of the Convoy Model of Social Relations and of technology used to exchange social support; and an outline of the specific aims addressed in this dissertation. Chapter Two is an integrative review of literature about social support networks of LGBT older adults age 50 years and older. Chapter Three is a study designed to investigate relationships between LGBT identity, social support characteristics, the use of online social communication, and psychological and social wellbeing. Chapter Four is a qualitative descriptive study that explores LGBT older adults’ attitudes, perceptions, and uses of technology for social connectedness and support during COVID-19. Chapter Five contains a synthesis of all findings in this dissertation; a discussion of the results as they relate to the Convoy Model of Social Relations; and implications for clinical interventions and future research.

description: A search for charged Higgs bosons produced in pairs is performed with data collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV by ALEPH at LEP, corresponding to a total luminosity of 629 invpb. The three final states taunutaunu, taunucs and cscs are considered. No evidence for a signal is found and lower limits are set on the mass M_H+ as a function of the branching fraction B(H to taunu). In the framework of a two-Higgs-doublet model, and assuming B(H+ to taunu + B(H+ to cs) = 1 charged Higgs bosons with masses below 79.3 Gev/c2 are excluded at 95% confidence level independently of the branching ratios.
