description: Most studies isolate the effects of one knowledge-related behavior on youth outcomes. This study explores the relationship between subgroups of mother-youth dyads that use specific combinations of parental knowledge-related behaviors and youth risky behavior. Using a sample of 796 rural 6th graders (53 % female), we assessed mother and youth reports of maternal knowledge, active parent monitoring efforts, youth disclosure, parental supervision, and the amount of parent-youth communication to identify five knowledge latent classes: High-Monitors, Maternal Over-Estimators, Low-Monitors, Communication-Focused, and Supervision-Focused. Delinquency, antisocial peers, and substance use were associated with increased odds of membership in the Supervision-Focused class, relative to the High Monitors. Membership in the Low Monitors and Maternal Over-Estimators classes was associated with unhealthy attitudes towards substances and for Low Monitors, substance use. The discussion focuses on the value of using a person-oriented approach to understand parental knowledge and risky behavior during early adolescence and intervention implications.

description: The thermodynamics for a system with given temperature, density, and volume is described by the Canonical ensemble. The thermodynamics for a corresponding system with the same temperature, volume, and average density is described by the Grand Canonical ensemble. In general a chosen thermodynamic potential (e.g., free energy) is different in the two cases. Their relationship is considered here as a function of the system size. Exact expressions relating the fundamental potential for each (free energy and pressure, respectively) are identified for arbitrary system size. A formal asymptotic analysis for large system size gives the expected equivalence, but without any characterization of the intermediate size dependence. More detailed evaluation is provided for the simple case of a homogeneous, non-interacting Fermi gas. In this case, the origin of size dependence arises from only two length scales, the average inter-particle distance and quantum length scale (thermal deBroglie or Fermi length). The free energies per particle calculated from each ensemble are compared for particle numbers $2\le N\le 64$ for a range of temperatures above and below the Fermi temperature. The relevance of these results for applications of density functional theory is discussed briefly.

description: Although substantial research supports the association between parental inconsistent discipline and early adolescent behaviors, less is understood on mechanisms underlying this relation. This study examined the mediating influence of delinquent-oriented attitudes in early adolescence. Using a longitudinal sample of 324 rural adolescents and their parents, findings revealed that inconsistent discipline in sixth grade predicted an increase in adolescent delinquent-oriented attitudes by seventh grade which, in turn, predicted both an increase in early adolescent antisocial behaviors and a decrease in socially competent behaviors by eighth grade. Therefore, it appears that accepting attitudes toward delinquency may in part develop from experiencing inconsistent discipline at home and may offer a possible explanation as to why early adolescents later engage in more antisocial and less socially competent behaviors. Findings may inform family-based preventive intervention programs that seek to decrease behavior problems and promote social competence in early adolescents.

description: Price movements in financial markets are well known to be very noisy. As a result, even if there are, on occasion, exploitable patterns that could be picked up by machine-learning algorithms, these are obscured by feature and label noise rendering the predictions less useful, and risky in practice. Traditional rule-learning techniques developed for noisy data, such as CN2, would seek only high precision rules and refrain from making predictions where their antecedents did not apply. We apply a similar approach, where a model abstains from making a prediction on data points that it is uncertain on. During training, a cascade of such models are learned in sequence, similar to rule lists, with each model being trained only on data on which the previous model(s) were uncertain. Similar pruning of data takes place at test-time, with (higher accuracy) predictions being made albeit only on a fraction (support) of test-time data. In a financial prediction setting, such an approach allows decisions to be taken only when the ensemble model is confident, thereby reducing risk. We present results using traditional MLPs as well as differentiable decision trees, on synthetic data as well as real financial market data, to predict fixed-term returns using commonly used features. We submit that our approach is likely to result in better overall returns at a lower level of risk. In this context we introduce an utility metric to measure the average gain per trade, as well as the return adjusted for downside risk, both of which are improved significantly by our approach.

description: We consider Horndeski cosmological models able to screen the vacuum energy coming from any field theory assuming that after this screening the space should be in a de Sitter vacuum with a particular value of the cosmological constant specified by the theory of gravity itself. The most general scalar-tensor cosmological models without higher than second order derivatives in the field equations that have a spatially flat de Sitter critical point for any kind of material content or vacuum energy are, therefore, presented. These models could allow us to understand the current accelerated expansion of the universe as the result of a dynamical evolution towards a de Sitter attractor.

description: This longitudinal study investigates whether rural adolescents who transition to a new school in sixth grade have higher levels of risky behavior than adolescents who transition in seventh grade. Our findings indicate that later school transitions had little effect on problem behavior between sixth and ninth grades. Cross-sectional analyses found a small number of temporary effects of transition timing on problem behavior: Spending an additional year in elementary school was associated with higher levels of deviant behavior in the Fall of Grade 6 and higher levels of antisocial peer associations in Grade 8. However, transition effects were not consistent across waves and latent growth curve models found no effects of transition timing on the trajectory of problem behavior. We discuss policy implications and compare our findings with other research on transition timing.
Promoting healthy outcomes among youth with multiple risks: Innovative approaches

description: Adolescent behavior problems such as substance use, antisocial behavior problems, and mental health problems have extremely high social costs and lead to overburdened mental health and juvenile justice systems in the United States and Europe. The prevalence of these problems is substantial, and at-risk youth often present with a combination of concerns. An understanding of risk and protective factors at multiple levels, including the child, family, peer, school, and community, has influenced intervention development. At the individual and family levels, the most effective and cost-effective programs work intensively with youth and their families or use individual and group cognitive-behavioral approaches. However, there is a paucity of careful studies of effective policies and programs in the juvenile justice system. Research is needed that focuses on adoption, financing, implementation, and sustainable use of evidence-based programs in public service systems. In addition, the field needs to understand better for whom current programs are most effective to create the next generation of more effective and efficient programs.

Finally I discuss a recent exploration of generalizing the hard-thermal-loop framework to the (chromo)magnetic scale $g^2T$, from which a novel massless mode is uncovered.

Il conflitto vita contro vita nel diritto penale

description:

In questo lavoro si opera una distinzione tra due modelli di risoluzione delle ipotesi di conflitto tra i beni giuridici della vita. Tali modelli funzionano come due livelli nella risoluzione di un caso: solamente se il primo è insufficiente, si passa al secondo. Il primo è lo stato di necessità oggettivo. È oggettivo perché si fonda sull’esistenza di un bilanciamento favorevole, cosicché questo bilanciamento permette l’intervento giustificato anche di terzi esterni al conflitto. Si includono in questa categoria i casi in cui vi sia una ‘condivisione del pericolo’ ed i casi estremi come quello della prevenzione delle stragi. Il secondo è lo stato di necessità soggettivo (personale). È soggettivo perché manca un bilanciamento favorevole e si fonda, esclusivamente, sulla non esigibilità di una condotta diversa.

description: This study details the use of printing and other additive processes to fabricate a novel amperometric glucose sensor. The sensor was fabricated using a Au coated 12.7 micron polyimide film as a starting material, where micro-contact printing, electrochemical plating and chloridization, electrohydrodynamic jet (e-jet) printing, and spin coating were used to pattern, deposit, print, and coat functional materials, respectively. We have found that e-jet printing was effective for the deposition and patterning of glucose oxidase inks between ~5 to 1000 micron in width, and we have demonstrated that the enzyme was still active after printing. The thickness of the permselective layer was optimized to obtain a linear response to glucose concentration up to 32 mM. For these sensors no response to acetaminophen, a common interfering compound, was observed.

description: This study addressed (1) whether there were unique profiles of student self-reported reasons for attending school among 10th graders, (2) whether these profiles were differentially associated with late high-school dropout, and (3) whether parent characteristics differed across profiles. Using data from the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002 (N= 15,362), five latent classes were found. The first class (49%) reported intrinsic, identified/introjected, and external motivations for attending school. The second class (32%) attended for identified/introjected and external reasons, while the third class (11%) reported intrinsic and identified/introjected reasons. The final two classes reported only identified/introjected (5%) or external (4%) motivations. Individuals in the identified/introjected and external classes were at greatest risk of dropping out between 10th and 12th grade. A host of parenting characteristics differed across class, with students in the intrinsic-identified/introjected-external class displaying the most favorable pattern of results. Implications for dropout prevention and academic promotion programs are discussed.

The participants of this study were Criminology students of the University of Mindanao, and are doing (300) research participants from each year level were used for a total of 400 respondents. This study's research subjects are all enrolled Criminology Students at the University of Mindanao who are taking Face to Face classes. The researcher used a survey questionnaire to assess criminology students' Practice on reuse, reducing, and recycling of University of Mindanao Criminology students in addressing climate change issues. The questionnaire for this study was divided into two parts: the first was Reuse, Reduce, Recycle question, and the second part was the Perception on climate change question. The researcher used Descriptive Correlational Research; when the data was gathered, it was statistically analyzed and interpreted by the statistician using the mean. Overall, the Practice of 3Rs in Addressing Climate Change Issues has a range of 3.64 which implies that the Practice of reuse, reduce, and recycle by University of Mindanao Criminology students in addressing the issues of climate change is often exhibited among participants. Statistical tools are used in analyzing and interpreting the data retrieved from the questionnaire. The mean was used to determine the central tendency of the data, which is the Practice of reuse, reducing, recycle of University of Mindanao Criminology students. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data gathered from the respondents. The variables have a significant relationship as they move in the same direction. They could use the result as supplementary data to show a locally- conducted study about the subject and may conduct a further study using more participants to gain further information on this subject matter to fill in the opportunities present in this study.

description: We discuss the proton lifetime in pure gravity mediation models with non-universal Higgs soft masses. Pure gravity mediation offers a simple framework for studying SU(5) grand unified theories with a split supersymmetry like spectra. We find that for much of the parameter space gauge coupling unification is quite good leading to rather long lifetimes for the proton. However, for $m_{3/2}\sim 60$ TeV and $\tanβ\sim 4$, for which gauge coupling unification is also good, the proton lifetime is short enough that it could be in reach of future experiments.

description: Most studies that explore parental knowledge of youths' activities utilize parents' and youths' reports separately. Using a sample of 938 rural early adolescents (53% female; 84% White), we explore congruence between mothers' and youths' perceptions of maternal knowledge and its association with youth problem behaviors (delinquency, substance use, and attitudes towards substances). Maternal overestimation of knowledge (compared to youths' ratings) was positively associated with delinquency and negatively associated with healthy drug attitudes. Significant differences in problem behaviors were found between four groups created based on mothers' and youths' level of knowledge (High Youth and Mother, High Youth/Low Mother, Low Youth/High Mother, and Low Youth and Mother). The High Youth and Mother group demonstrated less substance use and healthier drug attitudes than the Low Youth and Mother group. The Low Youth/High Mother group had significantly higher levels of substance use and delinquency than the High Youth and Mother group. Intervention implications are discussed.

description: Defects are inevitably present in materials and always can affect their properties. Here, first-principles calculations are performed to systematically study the stability, structural and electronic properties of ten kinds of point defects in semiconducting phosphorene, including the Stone-Wales (SW-1 and SW-2) defect, single (SV59 and SV5566) and double vacancy (DV585-1, DV585-2, DV555777-1, DV555777-2, DV555777-3 and DV4104) defects. We find that these defects are all much easily created in phosphorene with higher areal density compared with graphene and silicene. They are easy distinguish each other and correlate with their defective atomic structures with simulated scanning tunneling microscopy images at positive bias. The SW, DV585-1, DV555777 and DV4104 defects have little effect on phosphorene's electronic properties and defective phosphorene monolayers still show semiconducting with similar band gap values to perfect phosphorene. The SV59 and DV585-2 defects can introduce unoccupied localized states into phosphorene's fundamental band gap. Specifically, the SV59 and 5566 defects can induce hole doping in phosphorene, and only the stable SV59 defect can result in local magnetic moments in phosphorene different from all other defects.

description: (a+c) dislocations in hexagonal materials are typically observed to be dissociated into partial dislocations. Edge (a+c) dislocations are introduced into (0001) nitride semiconductor layers by the process of plastic relaxation. As there is an increasing interest in obtaining relaxed InGaN buffer layers for the deposition of high In content structures, the study of the dissociation mechanism of misfit (a+c) dislocations laying at the InGaN/GaN interface is then crucial for understanding their nucleation and glide mechanisms. In the case of the presented plastically relaxed InGaN layers deposited on GaN substrates we observe a trigonal network of (a+c) dislocations extending at the interface with a rotation of 3 degrees from <1-100> directions. High resolution microscopy studies show that these dislocations are dissociated into two Frank-Shockley 1/6<2-203> partial dislocations with the I1 BSF spreading between them. Atomistic simulations of a dissociated edge (a+c) dislocation revealed a 3/5 atom ring structure for the cores of both partial dislocations. The observed separation between two partial dislocations must result from the climb of at least one of the dislocations during the dissociation process, possibly induced by the mismatch stress in the InGaN layer.

description: We investigate unnatural-parity high-spin states in neutron-rich Cr and Fe isotopes using large-scale shell-model calculations. These shell-model calculations are carried out within the model space of $fp$-shell + $0g_{9/2}$ + $1d_{5/2}$ orbits with the truncation allowing $1\hbarω$ excitation of a neutron. The effective Hamiltonian consists of GXPF1Br for $fp$-shell orbits and $V_{\rm MU}$ with a modification for the other parts. The present shell-model calculations can describe and predict the energy levels of both natural- and unnatural-parity states up to the high-spin states in Cr and Fe isotopes with $N\le35$. The total energy surfaces present the prolate deformations on the whole and indicate that the excitation of one neutron into the $0g_{9/2}$ orbit plays the role of enhancing the prolate deformation. For the positive(unnatural)-parity states in odd-mass Cr and Fe isotopes, their energy levels and prolate deformations indicate the decoupling limit of the particle-plus-rotor model. The sharp drop of the $9/2_{1}^{+}$ levels in going from $N=29$ to $N=35$ in odd-mass Cr and Fe isotopes is explained by the Fermi surface approaching the $ν0g_{9/2}$ orbit.

description: Livelihood diversification using social capital in the sense has been overlooked by most of the researchers, policy makers and social scientists in the study of urban wage labour and rural-urban migration. The rich people can diversify their livelihoods through growth strategies; however, poorer people who are mostly landless, involved with informal economic sector, daylabourer or floating labourer cannot improve their livelihood under existing poverty reduction strategies. They are always looking for opportunities to diversify their livelihoods in the same economic system by using various social capital, relation and networks. Focusing on dynamic of livelihoods diversification, the study focuses that the current situation of urban floatinglabourer can be better analysed. The main aim of the paper is to shed light on more dynamic aspects of livelihoods strategy of urban daily based on wage labourer of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Using ethnographic data and case studies, hence, this paper interprets the process of getting out of poverty as livelihood diversification using social network and social capital from survival to accumulation.

description: Recent observation of high energy neutrino in IceCube experiment suggests existence of superheavy dark matter beyond PeV. We identify the parent particles of neutrino as two degenerated right handed neutrinos, assuming the dark matter is the heaviest right handed neutrino. The $O(V_{cb})\sim O(10^{-2})$ flavor symmetry breaking accounts for the $O(10^{-4})$ mass degeneracy of right handed neutrinos which is a sizable scale to explain the successful resonant leptogenesis at the PeV scale. At the same time, non-thermal production of the heaviest right handed neutrino gives the right amount of dark matter for $T_{RH}\sim 10$PeV. The footprint of flavor symmetry is left in degenerated mass spectra of extra Higgs multiplet and colored Higgs multiplet which may be testable for LHC or future colliders.

description: We demonstrate multiple flat bands and compact localized states (CLSs) in a photonic super-Kagome lattice (SKL) that exhibits coexistence of singular and nonsingular flat bands within its unique band structure. Specifically, we find that the upper two flat bands of an SKL are singular - characterized by singularities due to band touching with their neighboring dispersive bands at the Brillouin zone center. Conversely, the lower three degenerate flat bands are nonsingular, and remain spectrally isolated from other dispersive bands. The existence of such two distinct types of flat bands is experimentally demonstrated by observing stable evolution of the CLSs with various geometrical shapes in a laser-written SKL. We also discuss the classification of the flat bands in momentum space, using band-touching singularities of the Bloch wave functions. Furthermore, we validate this classification in real space based on unit cell occupancy of the CLSs in a single SKL plaquette. These results may provide insights for the study of flatband transport, dynamics, and nontrivial topological phenomena in other relevant systems.

It can identify and evolve separate modes of a posterior semi-independently and is parallelised using openMPI.

description: We propose a novel taxonomy for bias evaluation of discriminative foundation models, such as Contrastive Language-Pretraining (CLIP), that are used for labeling tasks. We then systematically evaluate existing methods for mitigating bias in these models with respect to our taxonomy. Specifically, we evaluate OpenAI's CLIP and OpenCLIP models for key applications, such as zero-shot classification, image retrieval and image captioning. We categorize desired behaviors based around three axes: (i) if the task concerns humans; (ii) how subjective the task is (i.e., how likely it is that people from a diverse range of backgrounds would agree on a labeling); and (iii) the intended purpose of the task and if fairness is better served by impartiality (i.e., making decisions independent of the protected attributes) or representation (i.e., making decisions to maximize diversity). Finally, we provide quantitative fairness evaluations for both binary-valued and multi-valued protected attributes over ten diverse datasets. We find that fair PCA, a post-processing method for fair representations, works very well for debiasing in most of the aforementioned tasks while incurring only minor loss of performance. However, different debiasing approaches vary in their effectiveness depending on the task. Hence, one should choose the debiasing approach depending on the specific use case.

description: We exploit and clarify the use of random matrix theory for the calculation of the entanglement entropy of free Fermi gases. We apply this method to obtain analytic predictions for Renyi entanglement entropies of a one-dimensional gas trapped by a harmonic potential in all the relevant scaling regimes. We confirm our findings with accurate numerical calculations obtained by means of an ingenious discretisation of the reduced correlation matrix.

description: Originated in early phase of Palaeolithic period, the structure of social mind marks the strongest effect on an individual from a distinct human group. The beliefs on supernatural beings, along with other norms, rites and rituals, are actually considered to be the products of the social mind that has been formed and reformed following environmental and socio-technological changes of humanity through time. Southeast Turkey is a region where all people groups have been believed on different types of supernatural forces and this is commonly found in archaeological remains since prehistoric period. Moreover, at present day, the beliefs on supernatural beings as well as their socio-psychological effects are more visible in the region comparing to other parts of Turkey. Therefore, out of 53 case studies obtained in ethnographic fieldworks, thorough examination of 4 individual case studies have been performed in this study to illustrate the power and functions of social mind in producing the beliefs on supernatural beings. Further, as the consequence of these beliefs, the generation sufferings in the region have also been examined in this study.

description: We consider the online convex optimization (OCO) problem with quadratic and linear switching cost in the limited information setting, where an online algorithm can choose its action using only gradient information about the previous objective function. For $L$-smooth and $μ$-strongly convex objective functions, we propose an online multiple gradient descent (OMGD) algorithm and show that its competitive ratio for the OCO problem with quadratic switching cost is at most $4(L + 5) + \frac{16(L + 5)}μ$. The competitive ratio upper bound for OMGD is also shown to be order-wise tight in terms of $L,μ$. In addition, we show that the competitive ratio of any online algorithm is $\max\{Ω(L), Ω(\frac{L}{\sqrtμ})\}$ in the limited information setting when the switching cost is quadratic. We also show that the OMGD algorithm achieves the optimal (order-wise) dynamic regret in the limited information setting. For the linear switching cost, the competitive ratio upper bound of the OMGD algorithm is shown to depend on both the path length and the squared path length of the problem instance, in addition to $L, μ$, and is shown to be order-wise, the best competitive ratio any online algorithm can achieve. Consequently, we conclude that the optimal competitive ratio for the quadratic and linear switching costs are fundamentally different in the limited information setting.

Factors influencing the development of school bonding among middle school students
Creators: name: Oelsner, J.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: The goal of this research is to examine the trajectory of school bonding over the middle school period and how factors such as gender, substance use, antisocial peers, delinquent behavior, and academic achievement affect this developmental process. Data from four waves of measurement of 2,902 adolescents are analyzed using hierarchical growth curve modeling. Results suggest that school bonding decreases in a nonlinear fashion from Grades 6 to 8. However, school bonding development varies based on interindividual differences. Boys have lower initial levels and greater decreases in school bonding than girls. Student deviant behavior, having antisocial peers, and low academic achievement are associated with lower levels of school bonding at Grade 6. Low grades and an increase in substance use are associated with a steeper decrease of school bonding over time. Increases in substance use and being male are also associated with a curvilinear pattern of school bonding. Implications for interventions are discussed.

description: We present a study to examine the sensitivity of a future $e^{-} e^{+}$ collider to the anomalous top flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) to the gluon. To separate signal from background a multivariate analysis is performed on top-quark pair and background events, where one top quark is considered to follow the dominant Standard Model (SM) decay, $t \rightarrow Wb$, and the other top decays through FCNC, $t\rightarrow qg$, where $q$ is a $u-$ or a $c-$quark. The analysis of fully-hadronic FCNC decay of the $t \bar{t}$ pair is also presented. The $95\%$ confidence level limits on the top-quark anomalous couplings are obtained for different values of the center-of-mass energies and integrated luminosities.
