description: We study first-order optimality conditions for constrained optimization in the Wasserstein space, whereby one seeks to minimize a real-valued function over the space of probability measures endowed with the Wasserstein distance. Our analysis combines recent insights on the geometry and the differential structure of the Wasserstein space with more classical calculus of variations. We show that simple rationales such as "setting the derivative to zero" and "gradients are aligned at optimality" carry over to the Wasserstein space. We deploy our tools to study and solve optimization problems in the setting of distributionally robust optimization and statistical inference. The generality of our methodology allows us to naturally deal with functionals, such as mean-variance, Kullback-Leibler divergence, and Wasserstein distance, which are traditionally difficult to study in a unified framework.

The impact of wind power growth and hydrological uncertainty on financial losses from oversupply events in hydropower-dominated systems

description: The rapid expansion of variable renewable energy (e.g., wind and solar) can make it more difficult to balance electricity supply and demand at a grid-scale. While much attention has focused on the risk of unexpected generation shortfalls, periods of oversupply (when supply is greater than demand) also present challenges that can lead to financial losses for utilities and/or consumers when renewable energy is â€œcurtailedâ€. A unique form of oversupply occurs in hydro-dominated systems. Although hydropower is thought to offer a highly flexible resource that can complement variable renewable energy, seasonal variability in streamflows and the presence of environmental regulations can create complex oversupply conditions if renewable energy is plentiful. In this study, an integrated hydro-economic model is developed to assess the frequency and severity of financial losses arising from oversupply in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, a hydro-dominated system with rapidly growing wind power generation. Present value losses over 25years (2016â€“2040) are evaluated under several future scenarios including increased wind capacity, electricity price uncertainty, and expanded transmission capacity for moving excess electricity to export markets. Results indicate that oversupply losses will increase as a function of installed wind capacity, with the extent of this increase sensitive to future electricity prices. In the case of adding transmission capacity to alleviate oversupply losses, the cost of this infrastructure is substantially more than the associated reduction in losses and is therefore difficult to justify.

description: We study the writhe, twist and magnetic helicity of different magnetic flux ropes, based on models of the solar coronal magnetic field structure. These include an analytical force-free Titov--Démoulin equilibrium solution, non force-free magnetohydrodynamic simulations, and nonlinear force-free magnetic field models. The geometrical boundary of the magnetic flux rope is determined by the quasi-separatrix layer and the bottom surface, and the axis curve of the flux rope is determined by its overall orientation. The twist is computed by the Berger--Prior formula that is suitable for arbitrary geometry and both force-free and non-force-free models. The magnetic helicity is estimated by the twist multiplied by the square of the axial magnetic flux. We compare the obtained values with those derived by a finite volume helicity estimation method. We find that the magnetic helicity obtained with the twist method agrees with the helicity carried by the purely current-carrying part of the field within uncertainties for most test cases. It is also found that the current-carrying part of the model field is relatively significant at the very location of the magnetic flux rope. This qualitatively explains the agreement between the magnetic helicity computed by the twist method and the helicity contributed purely by the current-carrying magnetic field.

Accounting and society: a holistic perspective on corporate social responsibility
Creators: name: Steindl, Tobias
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The aim of this thesis is to provide novel and holistic evidence on why managers pursue corporate social responsibility (CSR). To achieve this aim, I conduct three independent but interrelated empirical studies. Motivated by endogeneity concerns and the lack of evidence on managers' private preferences (i.e., agency motives), the first study (Chapter II) examines how a truly exogenous increase in agency problems affects different types of CSR investment decisions. Using a natural experiment for identification, I find that an increase in agency problems causes managers to misinvest in immaterial CSR and overinvest in material CSR. This finding suggests that managers have an underling preference for building a social empire. In addition, I provide evidence that an increase in agency problems causes managers to issue CSR press releases more frequently, and these press releases have a more positive tone. This indicates that managers want the general public to notice their social empire. The findings of the first study contribute to the existing literature by providing more nuanced evidence on managerial preferences, offering improved identification of agency problems, and analyzing CSR press releases. Motivated by the inconclusive evidence on managers'financial motives, the second study (Chapter III) provides more nuanced evidence by accounting for customer profile differences. Using an interaction model, I show that issuing a CSR report has a positive effect on financial performance if firms address end-consumers (i.e., are a B2C firm) and their profitability level is low. In contrast,if firms addresses other businesses (i.e., are a B2B firm) and their profitability level is low, issuing a CSR report has a negative effect on financial performance. This finding contributes to the existing iterature by revealing that only managers of less profitable B2C firms have a financial motive to issue a CSR report. Motivated by the scarcity of research on institutional forces that push or pull managers to pursue CSR, the third study (Chapter IV) examines how culture - an informal institutional force - affects managers' decisions regarding the credibility of CSR reports. Using a multi-methods approach, I show that cultural rule orientation - that is, people's proclivity for adhering to rules, laws, and regulations - has a positive effect on several corporate decisions that determine the credibility of CSR reports (e.g., whether to receive external assurance). Path analysis and qualitative comparative analysis reveal that the direct effect of cultural rule orientation is much stronger than its indirect effect via legal institutions. This finding contributes to the existing literature by showing that culture is a powerful institutional primitive that motivates managers to issue more credible CSR reports.

description: High HIV incidence rates have been observed among pregnant and breastfeeding women in sub-Saharan Africa. Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can effectively reduce HIV acquisition in women during these periods; however, understanding of its acceptability and feasibility in antenatal and postpartum populations remains limited. To address this gap, we conducted in-depth interviews with 90 study participants in Malawi and Zambia: 39 HIV-negative pregnant/breastfeeding women, 14 male partners, 19 healthcare workers, and 18 policymakers. Inductive and deductive approaches were used to identify themes related to PrEP. As a public health intervention, PrEP was not well-known among patients and healthcare workers; however, when it was described to participants, most expressed positive views. Concerns about safety and adherence were raised, highlighting two critical areas for community outreach. The feasibility of introducing PrEP into antenatal services was also a concern, especially if introduced within already strained health systems. Support for PrEP varied among policymakers in Malawi and Zambia, reflecting the ongoing policy discussions in their respective countries. Implementing PrEP during the pregnancy and breastfeeding periods will require addressing barriers at the individual, facility, and policy levels. Multi- level approaches should be considered in the design of new PrEP programs for antenatal and postpartum populations.

description: 
Objective: 

To determine if individuals newly diagnosed with opioid use disorder (OUD) who saw a primary care provider (PCP) before or on the date of diagnosis had higher rates of medication treatment for OUD (MOUD).
Methods: 

Observational study using logistic regression with claims data from Medicaid and a large private insurer in North Carolina from January 2014 to July 2017.
Key Results: 

Between 2014 and 2017, the prevalence of diagnosed OUD increased by 47% among Medicaid enrollees and by 76% among the privately insured. Over the same time period, the percent of people with an OUD who received MOUD fell among both groups, while PCP involvement in treatment increased. Of Medicaid enrollees receiving buprenorphine, the percent receiving buprenorphine from a PCP increased from 32% in 2014 to 39% in 2017. Approximately 82% of people newly diagnosed with OUD had a PCP visit in the 12 months before diagnosis in Medicaid and private insurance. Those with a prior PCP visit were not more likely to receive MOUD. Seeing a PCP at diagnosis was associated with a higher probability of receiving MOUD than seeing an emergency provider but a lower probability than seeing a behavioral health specialist or other provider type.
Conclusions: 

People newly diagnosed with OUD had high rates of contact with PCPs before diagnosis, supporting the importance of PCPs in diagnosing OUD and connecting people to MOUD. Policies and programs to increase access to MOUD and improve PCPs’ ability to connect people to evidence-based treatment are needed.
Limit theorems for Lévy walks in $d$ dimensions: rare and bulk fluctuations

description: We consider super-diffusive Lévy walks in $d \geqslant 2$ dimensions when the duration of a single step, i.e., a ballistic motion performed by a walker, is governed by a power-law tailed distribution of infinite variance and finite mean. We demonstrate that the probability density function (PDF) of the coordinate of the random walker has two different scaling limits at large times. One limit describes the bulk of the PDF. It is the $d-$dimensional generalization of the one-dimensional Lévy distribution and is the counterpart of central limit theorem (CLT) for random walks with finite dispersion. In contrast with the one-dimensional Lévy distribution and the CLT this distribution does not have universal shape. The PDF reflects anisotropy of the single-step statistics however large the time is. The other scaling limit, the so-called 'infinite density', describes the tail of the PDF which determines second (dispersion) and higher moments of the PDF. This limit repeats the angular structure of PDF of velocity in one step. Typical realization of the walk consists of anomalous diffusive motion (described by anisotropic $d-$dimensional Lévy distribution) intermitted by long ballistic flights (described by infinite density). The long flights are rare but due to them the coordinate increases so much that their contribution determines the dispersion. We illustrate the concept by considering two types of Lévy walks, with isotropic and anisotropic distributions of velocities. Furthermore, we show that for isotropic but otherwise arbitrary velocity distribution the $d-$dimensional process can be reduced to one-dimensional Lévy walk.

The secondary distribution of HIV self-testing kits

Year: 2021

description: The study by Augustine Choko and colleagues1 has shown that the secondary distribution of HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits, by pregnant women attending antenatal care to their male partners and by index patients attending general health care to their sexual contacts, can increase the number of men testing for HIV. Choko and colleagues reported that the mean proportion of partner testing in the antenatal care cohort was 35·0% (SD 10·0) in the standard care group versus 73·0% (13·1) in the HIVST only group and 65·2% (11·6) in the HIVST plus financial incentive group. However, the authors found no difference in the geometric mean number of new HIV-positive sexual partners per cluster between the HIVST only group and the standard care group (unadjusted incidence rate ratio 1·38, 95% CI 0·45–4·16) in the index cohort.1 Therefore, secondary distribution appears to improve the accessibility of HIV diagnosis, treatment, and care. This study makes an important contribution to implementation strategies aimed at increasing the uptake of HIV testing and other HIV services by male partners and sexual contacts in low-income and middle-income countries.

description: Mobility On Demand (MOD) systems are revolutionizing transportation in urban settings by improving vehicle utilization and reducing parking congestion. A key factor in the success of an MOD system is the ability to measure and respond to real-time customer arrival data. Real time traffic arrival rate data is traditionally difficult to obtain due to the need to install fixed sensors throughout the MOD network. This paper presents a framework for measuring pedestrian traffic arrival rates using sensors onboard the vehicles that make up the MOD fleet. A novel distributed fusion algorithm is presented which combines onboard LIDAR and camera sensor measurements to detect trajectories of pedestrians with a 90% detection hit rate with 1.5 false positives per minute. A novel moving observer method is introduced to estimate pedestrian arrival rates from pedestrian trajectories collected from mobile sensors. The moving observer method is evaluated in both simulation and hardware and is shown to achieve arrival rate estimates comparable to those that would be obtained with multiple stationary sensors.

description: In this paper, we investigate crossing-free 3D morphs between planar straight-line drawings. We show that, for any two (not necessarily topologically equivalent) planar straight-line drawings of an $n$-vertex planar graph, there exists a piecewise-linear crossing-free 3D morph with $O(n^2)$ steps that transforms one drawing into the other. We also give some evidence why it is difficult to obtain a linear lower bound (which exists in 2D) for the number of steps of a crossing-free 3D morph.
Intracellular basis of climate change resilience in oysters

description: Climate change is making the world's oceans warmer and more acidic. This environmental disturbance represents a major threat to marine life, particularly to calcifying organisms, such as oysters. Although adaptation to climate change is possible for many marine species, the intracellular basis of such stress-induced modifications is largely unknown. This thesis aims to discover the biological mechanisms that provide heritable protection against the adverse effects of climate change stressors in oysters. I explore the molecular processes underlying the improved performance of selectively bred populations of Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata) under acidifying conditions. The thesis assesses the intracellular responses of CO₂-resilient and wild type (non-selected) oysters following single or transgenerational exposures to elevated CO₂ using transcriptomics, proteomics and cytology. The molecular profiles of CO₂-resilient oysters were also investigated in response to a combination of CO₂ and thermal stresses. It was found that elevated CO₂ affected different levels of biological complexity,ranging from changes in cellular structures (mitochondria and associated systems) to alterations in protein concentrations and gene expression. The data showed that oysters are highly responsive to ocean acidification, and that discrete populations of oysters differ in their responsiveness. CO₂-resilient oysters exhibited differential regulation of genes and proteins involved in a variety of fundamental cellular processes, including control of the cell cycle, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, energy metabolism and stress responses. Transgenerational exposures to elevated CO₂ further altered the transcriptional profiles of oyster populations, suggesting that they may also be able to undergo rapid acclimation or adaptation to CO₂ at the transcriptional level. However, concurrent exposure to CO₂ and thermal stresses did not produce additive or synergistic effects on the molecular responses of CO₂-resilient oysters. This indicates that the inherent capacity of selectively bred oysters to better cope with CO₂ stress may not extend to ocean warming, or that the addition of thermal stress overwhelms oyster stress responses. Overall, the thesis reveals the molecular processes that may enable marine organisms to survive and thrive as climate change progresses. I conclude by considering the implications of this knowledge to ecosystem dynamics and fisheries production, highlighting potential strategies to minimise the impacts of this imminent threat.

description: Aims: Map the literature in search of the main biological and antimicrobial effects of the essential oil (EO) of Aniba rosaeodora. Study design: This is an integrative review based on the PRISMA method. Place and duration of the study: Center for Biological and Health Sciences of a University in the Brazilian Amazon, from January to August 2022. Methodology: A search was carried out in the main databases, such as Embase, Scopus, PubChem, PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Portal BVS, with the descriptors consulted in the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). Results: 134 articles were found and, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 17 were selected for full analysis. The EO of Aniba roseadora revealed mainly antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic and antiviral properties and in two studies, anesthetic effects, without observation of serious adverse events and deaths, were observed, but the specific active compound was not identified. The antibacterial activity of linalool, the compound most present in Aniba roseadora EO, was significant. Aniba roseadora EO also showed inhibitory and fungicidal potential. In addition, Aniba roseadora had an antidepressant effect, reducing anhedonia. Conclusion: The EO of Aniba rosaeadora showed potential biopharmacological and microbiological activities in pre-clinical models. Linalool stood out as the substance with the highest concentration in the EO; however, it is not yet known whether this compound is the main active component. Therefore, more studies should be conducted to support and describe the pharmacological potential of Aniba rosaeadora EO, leading to evidence-based pharmacology.

description: The main goal of this paper is to design a market operator (MO) and a distribution network operator (DNO) for a network of microgrids in consideration of multiple objectives. This is a high-level design and only those microgrids with nondispatchable renewable energy sources are considered. For a power grid in the network, the net value derived from providing power to the network must be maximized. For a microgrid, it is desirable to maximize the net gain derived from consuming the received power. Finally, for an independent system operator, stored energy levels at microgrids must be maintained as close as possible to storage capacity to secure network emergency operation. To achieve these objectives, a multiobjective approach is proposed. The price signal generated by the MO and power distributed by the DNO are assigned based on a Pareto optimal solution of a multiobjective optimization problem. By using the proposed approach, a fair scheme that does not advantage one particular objective can be attained. Simulations are provided to validate the proposed methodology.

description: We present measurements of angular cross power spectra between galaxies and optically-selected galaxy clusters in the final photometric sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure the auto- and cross-correlations between galaxy and cluster samples, from which we extract the effective biases and study the shot noise properties. We model the non-Poissonian shot noise by introducing an effective number density of tracers and fit for this quantity. We find that we can only describe the cross-correlation of galaxies and galaxy clusters, as well as the auto-correlation of galaxy clusters, on the relevant scales using a non-Poissonian shot noise contribution. The values of effective bias we finally measure for a volume-limited sample are $b_{cc}=4.09 \pm 0.47$ for the cluster auto-correlation and $b_{gc}=2.15 \pm 0.09$ for the galaxy-cluster cross-correlation. We find that these results are consistent with expectations from the auto-correlations of galaxies and clusters and are in good agreement with previous studies. The main result is two-fold: firstly we provide a measurement of the cross-correlation of galaxies and clusters, which can be used for further cosmological analysis, and secondly we describe an effective treatment of the shot noise.

description: Acute viral infection causes illness and death. In addition, an infection often results in increased susceptibility to a secondary infection, but the mechanisms behind this susceptibility are poorly understood. Since its initial identification as a marker for resident memory CD8+ T cells in barrier tissues, the function and regulation of CD103 integrin (encoded by ITGAE gene) have been extensively investigated. Nonetheless, the function and regulation of the resident CD103+CD8+ T cell response to acute viral infection remain unclear. Although TGFβ signaling is essential for CD103 expression, the precise molecular mechanism behind this regulation is elusive. Here, we reveal a TGFβ–SKI–Smad4 pathway that critically and specifically directs resident CD103+CD8+ T cell generation for protective immunity against primary and secondary viral infection. We found that resident CD103+CD8+ T cells are abundant in both lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues from uninfected mice. CD103 acts as a costimulation signal to produce an optimal antigenic CD8+ T cell response to acute viral infection. There is a reduction in resident CD103+CD8+ T cells following primary infection that results in increased susceptibility of the host to secondary infection. Intriguingly, CD103 expression inversely and specifically correlates with SKI proto-oncogene (SKI) expression but not R-Smad2/3 activation. Ectopic expression of SKI restricts CD103 expression in CD8+ T cells in vitro and in vivo to hamper viral clearance. Mechanistically, SKI is recruited to the Itgae loci to directly suppress CD103 transcription by regulating histone acetylation in a Smad4-dependent manner. Our study therefore reveals that resident CD103+CD8+ T cells dictate protective immunity during primary and secondary infection. Interfering with SKI function may amplify the resident CD103+CD8+ T cell response to promote protective immunity.

description: In this letter, we consider the joint power and admission control (JPAC) problem by assuming that only the channel distribution information (CDI) is available. Under this assumption, we formulate a new chance (probabilistic) constrained JPAC problem, where the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) outage probability of the supported links is enforced to be not greater than a prespecified tolerance. To efficiently deal with the chance SINR constraint, we employ the sample approximation method to convert them into finitely many linear constraints. Then, we propose a convex approximation based deflation algorithm for solving the sample approximation JPAC problem. Compared to the existing works, this letter proposes a novel two-timescale JPAC approach, where admission control is performed by the proposed deflation algorithm based on the CDI in a large timescale and transmission power is adapted instantly with fast fadings in a small timescale. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is illustrated by simulations.

State responsibility of Afghanistan towards the elimination of violence against women: a human rights law perspective

description: Afghanistan was among the lowest ranking countries worldwide in the United Nations Development Programme 2018 Gender Inequality Index, ranking 168 out of 189. Amnesty International, Afghanistan's Ministry of Women's Affairs and the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission have all reported a rise in gender-based violence against women by both State and non-State factors, including honour killings, acid attacks and beatings. This is despite violence against women continuing to be under-reported because of stigmatisation, religious and traditional cultural practices and misconceptions, fear of retribution and punishment for victims and the State 's failure to prevent violence or to investigate, prosecute and punish offenders. This research aims to critically analyse (a) Afghanistan's responsibility towards the elimination of violence against women and (b) the role of sharia and customary laws in condoning violence against women. It identifies the dismal shape of the current regulatory, institutional and policy frameworks concerning the elimination of violence against women in Afghanistan. This situation has been aggravated by the parliamentary rejection of the Law on Elimination of Violence against Women, which is currently at the discretion of presidential decree and is widely considered unconstitutional. Frameworks for the protection of women are still not in place, and Afghanistan's three overlapping systems -sharia law, shura (traditional law and practice) and the legal system implemented under the 2004 Afghanistan Constitution - are perplexing. Afghanistan is party to several international human rights instruments, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, under which the State is obligated to eradicate all types of discrimination, violence and other potential detrimental practices against women. Moreover, under the due diligence standard, States are urged to exercise due diligence to prevent, investigate and, in accordance with national legislation, punish acts of violence against women. This research concludes that Afghanistan has failed to protect women, potentially leading to a breach of its obligations under international law and recommends for legislative, institutional and policy reforms necessary to protect women against violence in Afghanistan.

description: We present a comparative analysis of theoretical and observed light curves of Cepheid variables using Fourier decomposition. The theoretical light curves at multiple wavelengths are generated using stellar pulsation models for chemical compositions representative of Cepheids in the Galaxy and Magellanic Clouds. The observed light curves at optical ({\it VI}), near-infrared ({\it JHK}$_s$) and mid-infrared (3.6 $\&$ 4.5-$μ$m) bands are compiled from the literature. We discuss the variation of light curve parameters as a function of period, wavelength and metallicity. Theoretical and observed Fourier amplitude parameters decrease with increase in wavelength while the phase parameters increase with wavelength. We find that theoretical amplitude parameters obtained using canonical mass-luminosity levels exhibit a greater offset with respect to observations when compared to non-canonical relations. We also discuss the impact of variation in convective efficiency on the light curve structure of Cepheid variables. The increase in mixing length parameter results in a zero-point offset in bolometric mean magnitudes and reduces the systematic large difference in theoretical amplitudes with respect to observations.

description: Th17 cells are known to exert pathogenic and non-pathogenic functions. Although the cytokine transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) is instrumental for Th17 cell differentiation, it is dispensable for generation of pathogenic Th17 cells. Here, we examined the T cell-intrinsic role of Activin-A, a TGF-β superfamily member closely related to TGF-β1, in pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation. Activin-A expression was increased in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Stimulation with interleukin-6 and Activin-A induced a molecular program that mirrored that of pathogenic Th17 cells and was inhibited by blocking Activin-A signaling. Genetic disruption of Activin-A and its receptor ALK4 in T cells impaired pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, which was essential for pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation, was suppressed by TGF-β1-ALK5 but not Activin-A-ALK4 signaling. Thus, Activin-A drives pathogenic Th17 cell differentiation, implicating the Activin-A-ALK4-ERK axis as a therapeutic target for Th17 cell-related diseases.
