From Surgun to Vatan : ethnic identity construction and the repatriation processes of the Crimean Tatars and the Meskhetian Turks
Creators: name: Cavoukian, Kristin T. R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Crimean Tatars and Meskhetian Turks are former-Soviet ethnic groups who were deported en masse by the Stalinist regime in 1944, from present-day Ukraine and Georgia to Central Asia. Even after Stalin's death and the official acknowledgement of the harm caused by their deportation, neither group was allowed to return to its homeland. Today, both groups are struggling to repatriate to regions of independent post-Soviet states, the Crimean Tatars to the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine, and the Meskhetian Turks to the Meskheti-Javakheti or Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia. Both regions contain a regional majority, a minority at the state level - Russians in the Crimea, and Armenians in Javakheti - which is hostile to the return of the deported group. Despite remarkable parallels between the experiences of the two groups, the Crimean Tatars have been relatively successful in returning to their homeland, whereas the Meskhetian Turks' repatriation movement has largely failed. Using a constructivist (or social constructionist) approach, this paper examines the role played by ethnic identity construction in the repatriation movements of the two groups. Ethnic identity construction is examined with respect to the deported groups and the regional majorities, as well as the state-level identities of Ukraine and Georgia, and is shown to account for the differential results experienced by the Crimean Tatars and Meskhetian Turks. The nature of ethnic identity is revealed as a dialogue between internal and external factors, with the role of the state emerging as a significant external factor in both cases.

The yields of from supernovae are very sensitive to the mass of the progenitor star. We show that by changing the parameters of the CMF, it is possible to change the yields of oxygen and magnesium by a factor of $\sim 1.5$ and of metals in general by a factor of $\sim 1.8$.

Subjects: subject: Law

description: Even though the legislator in Bosnia and Herzegovina is autonomous in the creation of legal solutions concerning processing of the war crimes, this autonomy is not an absolute one. Various Conventions and other sources of the international law, incorporated in a certain way into the legal system of Bosnia and Herzegovina, are an inevitable factor in the creation of these legal solutions. Their power is seen not only in internationally assumed obligations but also in the fact that these Conventions and the other sources of the substantive law usually represent the highest achievements of the international community in the certain area. As one such document, the Statute of The Hague Tribunal is literary re-written into the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through the adoption of these standards, and through the certain legal solutions which enable their application against perpetrators of the war crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the period of 1992-1995, Bosnia and Herzegovina has shown its readiness in trying to find solutions which will enable processing a large number of the war crime perpetrators, without denying them their right to a fair criminal proceeding.

description: Differences between the thermodynamic behavior of the three-level amplifier (a quantum heat engine based on a thermally pumped laser) and the classical Carnot cycle are usually attributed to the essentially quantum or discrete nature of the former. Here we provide examples of a number of classical and semiclassical heat engines, such as thermionic, thermoelectric and photovoltaic devices, which all utilize the same thermodynamic mechanism for achieving reversibility as the three-level amplifier, namely isentropic (but non-isothermal) particle transfer between hot and cold reservoirs. This mechanism is distinct from the isothermal heat transfer required to achieve reversibility in cyclic engines such as the Carnot, Otto or Brayton cycles. We point out that some of the qualitative differences previously uncovered between the three-level amplifier and the Carnot cycle may be attributed to the fact that they are not the same 'type' of heat engine, rather than to the quantum nature of the three-level amplifier per se.

description: Future cellular systems will make use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands. Many users in these bands are located indoors, i.e., inside buildings, homes, and offices. Typical building material attenuations in these high frequency ranges are of interest for link budget calculations. In this paper, we report on a collaborative measurement campaign to find the attenuation of several typical building materials in three potential mmWave bands (28, 73, 91 GHz). Using directional antennas, we took multiple measurements at multiple locations using narrow-band and wide-band signals, and averaged out residual small-scale fading effects. Materials include clear glass, drywall (plasterboard), plywood, acoustic ceiling tile, and cinder blocks. Specific attenuations range from approximately 0.5 dB/cm for ceiling tile at 28 GHz to approximately 19 dB/cm for clear glass at 91 GHz.

description: Abstract

It is important to have an accurate prognosis of the course of cancer to facilitate early intervention and personalized treatment. It leads to improved patient outcomes. However, existing methods frequently encountered with scalability, class imbalance, multi method data integration and computation efficiency which limits their applicability in real time medical situations. Generally, these existing methods are not effective. The objective is to present a novel framework known as the Adaptive Deep Fusion Network (ADFN) to overcome the existing methods. It utilizes the adaptive learning strategies and deep fusion method for predicting the progression of cancer. A hierarchical multi method fusion mechanism is employed into the ADFN method. This mechanism combines the data from different sources such as clinical records, histopathological data and genomic data. The utilization of attention-based layers to prioritize key features allows this integration and enhancing the prediction accuracy when balancing the computing complexity. To overcome the issues of class imbalance, the ADFN makes use of cost sensitive loss function and targeted loss layers. This method ensures accurate prediction of cancer stages which are essential. Furthermore, an adaptive learning method is based on learning continuously updates method parameters which enable the ADFN to handle large scale dataset efficiently without the human intervention. The method is able to provide the real time prediction because it reduces the amount of computational load by replacing lightweight transformer for typical recurrent neural network (RNN). The ADFN method exceeds existing methods in terms of accuracy, precision, recall and f1-score in experimental evaluations using cancer datasets. As a result, it is reliable for the real time clinical settings and monitors the evolution of cancer, provide proactive treatment methods and efficient method in cancer management.

description: When high-frequency radiation is incident upon graphene subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, graphene absorbs incident photons by allowing transitions between nearest LLs that follow strict selection rules dictated by angular momentum conservation. Here we show a qualitative deviation from this behavior in high-quality graphene devices exposed to terahertz (THz) radiation. We demonstrate the emergence of a pronounced THz-driven photoresponse, which exhibits low-field magnetooscillations governed by the ratio of the frequency of the incoming radiation and the quasiclassical cyclotron frequency. We analyze the modifications of generated photovoltage with the radiation frequency and carrier density and demonstrate that the observed photoresponse shares a common origin with microwave-induced resistance oscillations previously observed in GaAs-based heterostructures, yet in graphene, it appears at much higher frequencies and persists above liquid nitrogen temperatures. Our observations expand the family of radiation-driven phenomena in graphene and offer potential for the development of novel optoelectronic devices.

description: A detailed light curve analysis is presented for a first-overtone RR Lyrae star, MACHO* J050918.712-695015.31, based on MACHO and OGLE-III observations. As a foreground object of the Large Magellanic Cloud, it gives an extraordinary opportunity to study an almost continuous, 12-year long dataset of a relatively bright (V~15.0 mag) RRc star with rapid period change. Cyclic period modulation is suggested by the O-C method, where the cycle length is about 8 years. With the available unique dataset, we could draw strong limits on other light curve changes that may be associated to the period modulation. We could exclude both multiple periodicity and amplitude modulation unambiguously. Any theoretical model should reproduce the observed lack of photometric modulations. Simple arguments are also given for possible hydromagnetic effects.

description: Kako bi se procesuirali svi počinitelji ratnih zločina u Bosni i Hercegovini, i kako bi se odredbe kaznenih zakona u Bosni i Hercegovini koje reguliraju ovu oblast uskladile sa svjetskim standardima, Bosna i Hercegovina je nakon uspostave mira 1995. godine donijela čitav niz kaznenih zakona. Uslijed razloga unutarnje organizacije kao i fragmentiranih nadležnosti za procesuiranje ovih kaznenih djela, ovim mjerama nisu postignuti očekivani rezultati. Sve do 2003. godine i usvajanja Kaznenog zakona BiH, ova kaznena djela su procesuirana u skladu s različitim zakonima koji su vrijedili na teritoriju BiH. Namjera Kaznenog zakona Bosne i Hercegovine iz 2003. godine bila je ukloniti tu fragmentiranost i usvojiti dostignute standarde razvoja kaznenog prava u svijetu. Sam zakon nije izazvao nikakve kontroverze. Ali njegove kasnije izmjene jesu. Oslanjajući se na opće principe međunarodnog prava, zakonodavac u BiH je dopustio retroaktivnu primjenu ovoga zakona na događaje iz razdoblja od 1992. do 1995. godine. Štoviše, broj predmeta iz toga razdoblja kao i ograničeni kapaciteti Ureda glavnog tužitelja BiH i Suda BiH onemogućit će ih da procesuiraju sve predmete, te će neki predmeti biti proslijeđeni drugim sudovima koji primjenjuju “stare” zakone. Imajući to u vidu, pitanje primjenjivog kaznenog zakona u ovim predmetima, postaje još značajnije.

While electron transport is unavoidably irreversible in bulk materials, here we derive conditions under which reversible diffusive electron transport can be achieved in nanostructured thermoelectric materials via the same physical mechanism utilized in quantum optical heat engines. Our results may provide a physical explanation for the very high efficiencies recently reported for nanostructured thermoelectric materials such as quantum-dot superlattices.

description: We present an integrated approach to analyse the multi-lead ECG data using the frame work of multiplex recurrence networks (MRNs). We explore how their intralayer and interlayer topological features can capture the subtle variations in the recurrence patterns of the underlying spatio-temporal dynamics. We find MRNs from ECG data of healthy cases are significantly more coherent with high mutual information and less divergence between respective degree distributions. In cases of diseases, significant differences in specific measures of similarity between layers are seen. The coherence is affected most in the cases of diseases associated with localized abnormality such as bundle branch block. We note that it is important to do a comprehensive analysis using all the measures to arrive at disease-specific patterns. Our approach is very general and as such can be applied in any other domain where multivariate or multi-channel data are available from highly complex systems.

description: Multielectron bubbles (MEBs) differ from gas-filled bubbles in that it is the Coulomb repulsion of a nanometer thin layer of electrons that forces the bubble open rather than the pressure of an enclosed gas. We analyze the implosion of MEBs subjected to a pressure step, and find that despite the difference in the underlying processes the collapse dynamics is similar to that of gas-filled bubbles. When the MEB collapses, the electrons inside it undergo strong accelerations, leading to the emission of radiation. This type of sonoluminescence does not involve heating and ionisation of any gas inside the bubble. We investigate the conditions necessary to obtain sonoluminescence from multielectron bubbles and calculate the power spectrum of the emitted radiation.

description: We study the transverse dynamical susceptibility of an antiferromagnetic spin$-1/2$ chain in presence of a longitudinal Zeeman field. In the low magnetization regime in the gapless phase, we show that the marginally irrelevant backscattering interaction between the spinons creates a non-zero gap between two branches of excitations at small momentum. We further demonstrate how this gap varies upon introducing a second neighbor antiferromagnetic interaction, vanishing in the limit of a non-interacting "spinon gas". In the high magnetization regime, as the Zeeman field approaches the saturation value, we uncover the appearance of two-magnon bound states in the transverse susceptibility. This bound state feature generalizes the one arising from string states in the Bethe ansatz solution of the integrable case. Our results are based on numerically accurate, unbiased matrix-product-state techniques as well as analytic approximations.
Social Media Analytics for Stance Mining A Multi-Modal Approach with Weak Supervision

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: subject: 89999 Information and Computing Sciences not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: People express their opinions on blogs and other social media platforms. As per a recent estimate, interactions on Twitter alone result in over 500 million tweets perday. The magnitude of this data enables new applications of opinion mining that have previously remained challenging e.g., finding users’ stance (as in pro or con) on topics of interest. However, one of the major barriers to utilizing this amount of data is the cost of hand-labeling examples for machine learning. This barrier is even more apparent in stance mining, as opinions can change overtime and can be about any issues. To reduce the need for hand-labeled data by taking the complex interactions of social media users and their social influence into account, this dissertationdevelops semi-supervised methods for stance mining.Most existing studies on stance mining take a simplistic view that assumes a sentence (like a Tweet) holds a perspective that is independent of the context and the author’s network position. This approach to stance learning leaves three crucial unresolved challenges. First, how do we train stance-learning models on new topics with minimal labeling effort? Discussion topics change fast and new issues emerge, making it difficult to reuse prior labeled data. However, artifacts of social networks like hashtags can give noisy signal about the stance of users. To extract the signal from noise, I develop methods to find useful hashtags by exploiting how users in the pro-group and the anti-group use popular hashtags. Second, how can we use multiple interaction modalities for stance mining? Users opinions are evident in different types of interactions, e.g. tweeting, retweeting or liking. I develop a semisupervised method based on co-training that jointly trains multiple stance classifiers using different interaction modalities resulting in a better stance prediction model. Third, how to leverage users networks for stance prediction? The current approachesto stance learning ignore important network factors such as the interactions of social media users (e.g., a persons preference can also be known from his friends preferences).I use the network alignment as one of the training signals to train the stance classifiers. My thesis brings a new direction to the stance learning problem that is grounded in social theory, is more amenable to analyzing activities on social media, and allows effective learning from multiple types of interactions without requiring large amounts of labeled data. By labeling only a few hashtags used in Twitter conversations on a few controversial topics, my approach allows for predicting both the stance of users (as in whether they are pro or con a topic) by over 80% accuracy andthe stance in conversations (as in whether they favor or deny others posts) by over 70% accuracy.

description: Sexual communication often takes place in networks with multiple competing signalers being simultaneously assessed by mate choosers. Altered sensory conditions, such as noise and light pollution, can affect communication by altering signal production and perception. While evidence of sensory pollution affecting sexual signaling is widespread, few studies assess impacts on sexual signaling during rival interactions as well as mate choice, let alone whether urban and non-urban populations have diverged in their response. Here, we investigate the effects of urban sensory conditions on sexual communication in urban and forest túngara frogs (Engystomops pustulosus). We recorded dyadic vocal rival interactions and assessed mate choice with and without noise and light pollution in the lab. We show that urban sensory conditions can directly impact the intensity of rival interactions, differences between rivals and mate choice, though changes were often in opposite directions for frogs of urban and forest origins. Moreover, we demonstrate that urban-induced changes in rival interactions can also indirectly affect how females choose between potential mates. Our study reveals origin-dependent direct and indirect effects of noise and light pollution, and suggests local adaptation of sexual communication in urban populations.

A szervezeti működés legfontosabb hét területét leíró, McKinsey-féle 7’S modellre alapozott kérdőíves kutatás segítségével meghatároztuk azt a négy jellemző vezetőtípust, amellyel az agrárgazdasági vállalatok körében a változtatások szükségességének és esélyének megítélésekor találkozhatunk. A tipikus vezetői attitűdök ismeretében jobban felmérhető, hogy milyen vezetői reakciókra számíthatunk, amikor kormányzati eszközökkel ösztönözzük különféle kívánatos szervezeti változtatások megvalósítását, például esetünkben a gazdasági hálózatok kiépítését az agrárgazdasági vállalkozások körében. ------------------------------------------ The success of adaptation to environmental changes is fundamentally influenced by management views on organisational change. Using questionnaire-based research, we determined the four characteristic management types, which can be found during operational reorganisations in agricultural business circles. With this knowledge we can determine more specifically the implementation related to various changes in the organisational change process of the agricultural economy, for example, the governance level tasks of developing an economic network.

description: Optical trapping of molecules with long coherence times is crucial for many protocols in quantum information and metrology. However, the factors that limit the lifetimes of the trapped molecules remain elusive and require improved understanding of the underlying molecular structure. Here we show that measurements of vibronic line strengths in weakly and deeply bound $^{88}$Sr$_2$ molecules, combined with \textit{ab initio} calculations, allow for unambiguous identification of vibrational quantum numbers. This, in turn, enables the construction of refined excited potential energy curves that inform the selection of magic wavelengths which facilitate long vibrational coherence. We demonstrate Rabi oscillations between far-separated vibrational states that persist for nearly 100 ms.

Population ecology of Trichoplusia ni in greenhouses and the potential of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus for their control
Creators: name: Cervantes, Veronica Beatriz

description: The cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni is the major lepidopteran pest in tomato, cucumber and pepper greenhouses in British Columbia. T. ni has developed resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis (Btk) in some greenhouses and this compromises the effectiveness of this widely used bioinsecticide for the control of loopers. The production in greenhouses continues almost year round and loopers can be present in the crop very early in the season. Few other biological control options are available for this important pest, so new alternatives that are compatible with integrated pest management programs are required. In this work I explored the overwintering success of cabbage loopers and found that populations could survive winter in greenhouses but not outside. This poses a great risk for continued resistance of loopers to Btk. I then evaluated the potential of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) in controlling cabbage looper larvae that are resistant to Btk. I found that larvae resistant to Btk were twice as susceptible to AcMNPV as were those from a non-resistant colony. I also studied if host plants could alter the susceptibility of T. ni to AcMNPV and the speed of kill of the virus. I conducted bioassays with susceptible cabbage loopers on the three main crops cultivated in greenhouses as well as on artificial diet. Susceptibility did not vary among the hosts. Despite the fact that larval growth was highest on cucumber and lowest on pepper no biologically meaningful differences were found in speed of kill. These parameters could be further influenced by the behaviour and differential consumption of host plants by larvae. Observations in greenhouses showed that on tomato plants larvae tended to forage in the lower portion of the plants while on peppers they tended toward the top of the plants. This agrees with experimental results that showed larvae tended to go to the top of pepper plants, the middle of cucumber plants and the bottom of tomato plants. Position was not affected by whether larvae were infected with AcMNPV but the behaviour of larvae could influence the distribution of virus on different crops. I conclude that AcMNPV has much potential as an alternative to Btk and that greenhouse level evaluations should proceed.
Sub-50 nm focusing of 405 nm laser by hemispherical silicon nanolens

description: In this work, we study the light focusing behaviors of sub-micron Si hemispherical nanolens in theory. Results show that the width and depth of the focus spot light at 405 nm can reach 42 nm (approximately λ/10) and 20 nm (λ/20), respectively. Theoretical analysis indicates that this nano-focusing phenomenon comes from two reasons, the high refractive index of Si and the sub-micro size of the lens which considerably decrease the influence of material losses. The focusing capability of Si nanolens is comparable with current EUV technique but with a low cost, providing an alternative approach towards super-resolution photolithography and optical microscopy.

description: When solving inverse problems in geophysical imaging, deep generative models (DGMs) may be used to enforce the solution to display highly structured spatial patterns which are supported by independent information (e.g. the geological setting) of the subsurface. In such case, inversion may be formulated in a latent space where a low-dimensional parameterization of the patterns is defined and where Markov chain Monte Carlo or gradient-based methods may be applied. However, the generative mapping between the latent and the original (pixel) representations is usually highly nonlinear which may cause some difficulties for inversion, especially for gradient-based methods. In this contribution we review the conceptual framework of inversion with DGMs and study the principal causes of the nonlinearity of the generative mapping. As a result, we identify a conflict between two goals: the accuracy of the generated patterns and the feasibility of gradient-based inversion. In addition, we show how some of the training parameters of a variational autoencoder, which is a particular instance of a DGM, may be chosen so that a tradeoff between these two goals is achieved and acceptable inversion results are obtained with a stochastic gradient-descent scheme. A test case using truth models with channel patterns of different complexity and cross-borehole traveltime tomographic data involving both a linear and a nonlinear forward operator is used to assess the performance of the proposed approach.

description: We raise the question whether in the past a disk could have existed in our Galactic Center which has disappeared now. Our model for the interaction of a cool disk and a hot corona above (Liu et al. 2004) allows to estimate an upper limit for the mass that might have been present in a putative accretion disk after a last star forming event, but would now have evaporated by coronal action.

A case study of a Chinese-Canadian daughter caregiving for her mother who has Alzheimer’s type Dementia (AD)
Creators: name: Chan, Marine Siu Mei

description: The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) increases with advancing age. Persons with AD are often being cared for by family caregivers. Spouses, mostly the wives, are the largest group of family caregivers and daughters are the second largest group. With the aging population, family caregiving of persons with A D requires increasing attention and resources. In recent years, although the number of Chinese- Canadians has been increasing, the influences of culture on family caregiving have not been fully explored yet. To add to the body of knowledge that could lead to interventions that enhance dementia care, I explored the caregiving experience of a Chinese-Canadian daughter caring for her mother who has AD. I used a qualitative secondary analysis case study approach to explore her caregiving experience in-depth. Perry's (2004) primary data is adequate and appropriate for secondary analysis to explore how Chinese culture in a Canadian context influences caregiving This Chinese-Canadian daughter's caregiving experience had challenged her values and beliefs in gender roles in marriage, filial piety, and family values. However, having her feet in both Chinese and Canadian cultures had offered her more options to resolve the challenges. Caregiving is influenced not only by her cultural background but also by her previous family relationships, socio-economic status, formal and informal support, and the available health care and social services. The research findings of this case study support that caregiving is individual, dynamic, and multi-factorial. To care for the persons with AD and to support the caregivers, a person-centered approach with sensitivity to culture and gender is the key.

description: A bemutatott egyszerű módszer alapján kidolgozásra kerülő, kockázatalapú ellenőrzési rendszer jól szolgálja a tulajdonosok érdekeit: • Ha a gazdálkodó vállalkozás - rövid távú érdekeit, amely elsősorban a nyereség növelésének igényében, és - a hosszú távú érdekeit, amely elsősorban a vagyon gyarapodásának igényében nyilvánul meg. • Ha a gazdálkodó költségvetési szerv - a közpénzekkel és a rábízott vagyonnal történő szakszerű gazdálkodást és - a célszerű, hatékony, eredményes, gazdaságos közfeladat ellátását. A most bemutatásra kerülő, kockázati besorolásra kidolgozott módszer szakmailag megalapozott, a gyakorlatban már bizonyított. A módszer alkalmas a nagy súlyú, nagy kockázatokat rejtő területek (ágazatok, közfeladatokat ellátó szervek, vállalkozások, üzemek, osztályok) kiválasztására, és ezáltal a korszerű kockázatelemzésen alapuló ellenőrzési munka tervezési lehetőségének megteremtésére. ----------------------------------------- The risk-based control system developed on the basis of the simple method presented, serves the interests of proprietors well. • If the farmer is a business: o short term interests, which primarily manifest themselves in the requirement for increased profit; and o long term interests, which primarily manifest themselves as a property growth requirement. • If the farmer is a budgetary entity: o professional management of public funds and property entrusted to him; and o the practical, effective, successful and economic conduct of public duties. The method being presented here, which was developed for the classification of risk, is professionally sound and proven in practice. The method is suitable for the selection of high-risk areas of great importance (sectors, public service bodies, businesses, industrial units, departments) and thereby, the creation of opportunities to plan control work based on modern risk assessment.

description: The Misner and Sharp approach to the study of gravitational collapse is extended to the dissipative case in, both, the streaming out and the diffusion approximations. The role of different terms in the dynamical equation are analyzed in detail. The dynamical equation is then coupled to a causal transport equation in the context of Israel--Stewart theory. The decreasing of the inertial mass density of the fluid, by a factor which depends on its internal thermodynamics state, is reobtained, at any time scale. In accordance with the equivalence principle, the same decreasing factor is obtained for the gravitational force term. Prospective applications of this result to some astrophysical scenarios are discussed.
