description: Les entreprises qui exploitent dans des territoires intégralement intégrés dans les infrastructures de communication efficientes, ont plus de chance de connaitre l'émergence. Cependant,  le faible niveau quantitatif et qualitatif de ces infrastructures constitue l'un des facteurs majeurs qui freinent la croissance des entreprises et génèrent un impact négatif sur le décollage de l'économie. En effet, ce papier a pour objectifs de faire l'état de lieux sur l'isolement géographique de la province du Kasaï-Oriental ; de présenter les enjeux entrepreneuriaux et socioéconomiques de ce phénomène ; et de formuler les perspectives susceptibles de contribuer à l'ouverture géographique, l'émergence des Micros, PME  et au développement socioéconomique de cette province. Ainsi, les résultats des entrevues et de l'enquête renseignent que l'environnement d'affaires de cette province n'est pas favorable à l'émergence des entreprises, à cause des plusieurs facteurs parmi lesquels on retrouve les difficultés d'approvisionnement en biens produits dans les autres territoires du pays suite à l'enclavement de la province.

description: Based on mesoscale lattice Boltzmann (LB) numerical simulations, we investigate the effects of viscoelasticity on the break-up of liquid threads in microfluidic cross-junctions, where droplets are formed by focusing a liquid thread of a dispersed (d) phase into another co-flowing continuous (c) immiscible phase. Working at small Capillary numbers, we investigate the effects of non-Newtonian phases in the transition from droplet formation at the cross-junction (DCJ) to droplet formation downstream of the cross-junction (DC) (Liu $\&$ Zhang, ${\it Phys. ~Fluids.}$ ${\bf 23}$, 082101 (2011)). We will analyze cases with ${\it Droplet ~Viscoelasticity}$ (DV), where viscoelastic properties are confined in the dispersed phase, as well as cases with ${\it Matrix ~Viscoelasticity}$ (MV), where viscoelastic properties are confined in the continuous phase. Moderate flow-rate ratios $Q \approx {\cal O}(1)$ of the two phases are considered in the present study. Overall, we find that the effects are more pronounced in the case with MV, where viscoelasticity is found to influence the break-up point of the threads, which moves closer to the cross-junction and stabilizes. This is attributed to an increase of the polymer feedback stress forming in the corner flows, where the side channels of the device meet the main channel. Quantitative predictions on the break-up point of the threads are provided as a function of the Deborah number, i.e. the dimensionless number measuring the importance of viscoelasticity with respect to Capillary forces.

description: Interactions with our community and social environment play a significant role in our overall health and wellbeing and are considered Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). One SDOH that impacts Cumberland County, North Carolina is the number of children aged 0-3 years old who have been abused or maltreated. This leads to multiple health issues including cardiovascular disease, strokes, and mental health issues and can perpetuate the cycle of violent crime. Due to this issue, we have formed the Cumberland County Child Resiliency Organization (CCCRO), an Accountable Care Community (ACC) whose goal is to addressing health outcomes by improving parenting strategies for caregivers to reduce the incidence of child abuse by 10% by 2024. The CCCRO will be working with a group of community stakeholders and partners to advocate for a federal ban on corporal punishment and to implement the Building Resilient Families program for parents and caregivers in Cumberland County.
Effects of viscoelasticity on droplet dynamics and break-up in microfluidic T-Junctions: a lattice Boltzmann study

description: The effects of viscoelasticity on the dynamics and break-up of fluid threads in microfluidic T-junctions are investigated using numerical simulations of dilute polymer solutions at changing the Capillary number ($\mbox {Ca}$), i.e. at changing the balance between the viscous forces and the surface tension at the interface, up to $\mbox{Ca} \approx 3 \times 10^{-2}$. A Navier-Stokes (NS) description of the solvent based on the lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) is here coupled to constitutive equations for finite extensible non-linear elastic dumbbells with the closure proposed by Peterlin (FENE-P model). We present the results of three-dimensional simulations in a range of $\mbox{Ca}$ which is broad enough to characterize all the three characteristic mechanisms of breakup in the confined T-junction, i.e. ${\it squeezing}$, ${\it dripping}$ and ${\it jetting}$ regimes. The various model parameters of the FENE-P constitutive equations, including the polymer relaxation time $τ_P$ and the finite extensibility parameter $L^2$, are changed to provide quantitative details on how the dynamics and break-up properties are affected by viscoelasticity. We will analyze cases with ${\it Droplet ~Viscoelasticity}$ (DV), where viscoelastic properties are confined in the dispersed (d) phase, as well as cases with ${\it Matrix ~Viscoelasticity}$ (MV), where viscoelastic properties are confined in the continuous (c) phase. Moderate flow-rate ratios $Q \approx {\cal O}(1)$ of the two phases are considered in the present study. Overall, we find that the effects are more pronounced in the case with MV, as the flow driving the break-up process upstream of the emerging thread can be sensibly perturbed by the polymer stresses.

description: From pulsating stars to transiting exoplanets, the search for periodic signals in K2 data, Kepler's 2-wheeled extension, is relevant to a long list of scientific goals. Systematics affecting K2 light curves due to the decreased spacecraft pointing precision inhibit the easy extraction of periodic signals from the data. We here develop a method for producing periodograms of K2 light curves that are insensitive to pointing-induced systematics; the Systematics-Insensitive Periodogram (SIP). Traditional sine-fitting periodograms use a generative model to find the frequency of a sinusoid that best describes the data. We extend this principle by including systematic trends, based on a set of 'Eigen light curves', following Foreman-Mackey et al. (2015), in our generative model as well as a sum of sine and cosine functions over a grid of frequencies. Using this method we are able to produce periodograms with vastly reduced systematic features. The quality of the resulting periodograms are such that we can recover acoustic oscillations in giant stars and measure stellar rotation periods without the need for any detrending. The algorithm is also applicable to the detection of other periodic phenomena such as variable stars, eclipsing binaries and short-period exoplanet candidates. The SIP code is available at https://github.com/RuthAngus/SIPK2.

NGOs as Agents of Women’s Land Rights in Tanzania
Creators: name: Whitenack, Allison
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This article seeks to identify the role of NGOs in promoting women’s land rights in Tanzania. I
begin by outlining the gendered history of land tenure in Tanzania from the colonial era through
today that has systematically excluded women from formal land ownership structures through
the creation of gendered land regimes. In this history, I highlight the significant movements and
associations that Tanzanian women have created in order to demonstrate their agency and
advocate for their rights. I situate my argument among debates about human rights theory and
international human rights law by discussing responsibility, capability, and cultural legitimacy
schools and feminist critiques. I analyze primary sources, including expert interviews and print
documents from universities and local NGOs, and secondary sources such as books, scholarly
journals, and newspaper articles. My research examines a case study of two land rights NGOs in
Tanzania as agents of women’s land rights, and characterizes these NGOs through Claude
Welch’s (1995) six roles of human rights NGOs. By demonstrating that the two NGOs
successfully fulfill the education, empowerment, and enforcement roles of human rights NGOs, I
argue that local NGOs in Tanzania are important agents of human rights in the context of
women’s land rights.

description: In this paper, we present a decision level fused local Morphological Pattern Spectrum(PS) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) approach for an efficient shape representation and classification. This method makes use of Earth Movers Distance(EMD) as the measure in feature matching and shape retrieval process. The proposed approach has three major phases : Feature Extraction, Construction of hybrid spectrum knowledge base and Classification. In the first phase, feature extraction of the shape is done using pattern spectrum and local binary pattern method. In the second phase, the histograms of both pattern spectrum and local binary pattern are fused and stored in the knowledge base. In the third phase, the comparison and matching of the features, which are represented in the form of histograms, is done using Earth Movers Distance(EMD) as metric. The top-n shapes are retrieved for each query shape. The accuracy is tested by means of standard Bulls eye score method. The experiments are conducted on publicly available shape datasets like Kimia-99, Kimia-216 and MPEG-7. The comparative study is also provided with the well known approaches to exhibit the retrieval accuracy of the proposed approach.

Placemaking in Artisanal Small-Scale Mining: A Gendered Examination of Mobility, Economic Opportunity, and Vulnerability in Africa
Creators: name: Colloredo-Mansfeld, Mia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Informal mining, or artisanal small-scale mining (ASM), is a growing industry in Africa,
providing diversification of livelihood and economic opportunities in rural communities. Women
make up 10 to 60 percent of ASM workforces, occupying roles both directly and adjacently
related to ASM that are typically designated based on gender. This article situates ASM in a
development context, recognizing the role of international development discourses on the growth
and framing of ASM communities. The placemaking processes that occur at ASM sites result in
inherently gendered experiences for everyone involved in these communities. Examining ASM
sites through a gender in development lens reveals the complex relationships between structure,
agency, and vulnerability that shape how women exist in and move through ASM communities.
This article looks at the ways in which women exercise agency to renegotiate their position in
society through economic and mobility opportunities related to ASM, comparing ASM
communities in Tanzania and Ghana as case studies. Through complicating the narrative of ASM
sites by examining the lived experiences of women in ASM, this article adds to the growing
body of literature on the potential role of ASM in rural economies and the ways in which a
gendered lens reveals complex placemaking relationships.

Lonchophylla handleyi Hill, 1980, “[cave of] Los Tayos, Morona Santiago Province, Ecuador.” This species is monotypic. Distribution. E Ecuador and E Peru. Descriptive notes. Head—body 66-83 mm, tail 5-6 mm, ear 17-18 mm, hindfoot 10-14 mm, forearm 43-48 mm; weight 16-21 g. Handley’s Nectar Bat is one of the largest species of Lonchophylla. Females are slightly larger than males. Fur is soft and medium long. Dorsal fur is pale orange to light cinnamon-brown, with hair bases distinctly paler; venter is paler than dorsum, with unicolored hairs. Snoutis relatively long and slender; noseleaf is short and pointed, and base is broad, without free edges. Wings are attached to ankles; thumb are short (5-4-6-3 mm); caudal membrane is short (8=11-4 mm) in middle, with furred rim; tail is short, reaching middle of membrane; and calcaris shorter than foot. I' are much longer than I?, which are bordered by spaces. Habitat. Eastern Andean lowlands and foothills at elevations of500-1200 m. Handley’s Nectar Bat inhabits primary and secondary tropical humid forests, gallery forests, and areas near cultivated areas, such as banana plantations; one individual was caught at the edge of an avocado orchard in second growth humid forest. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. In Ecuador, pregnant Handley’s Nectar Bats were recorded in May, and a male with inguinaltestes (3 mm x 2 mm) was captured in August. Activity patterns. Handley’s Nectar Bat is nocturnal. It is associated with large caves. Movements, Home range and Social organization. Colonies of 50-200 individuals have been found in caves of Morona Santiago Province, Ecuador. In these caves, Handley’s Nectar Bat roosted with other species of bats such as the Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus), Pallas’s Long-tongued Bat (Glossophaga soricina), and Seba’s Short-tailed Bat (Carollia perspicillata). Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. Nevertheless, Handley’s Nectar Bat is uncommon and poorly known. A conservation plan for its shelters is necessary because most records come from caves, some of them close to human activity. Bibliography.

Social Work within the National Association of Colored Women: Clubwomen as Othermothers and Captive Maternals
Creators: name: Madison, Miriam
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Racial uplift, self-determination, and mutual aid function as mechanisms for Black communities
to combat racial discrimination within the United States. Within the earlier formative education
of social work, Black women were largely excluded from formal training and thus exercised
their own discretion to create networks that allowed them to practice social work informally.
This article explores how clubwomen of the early twentieth century performed social work
through their commitment to the National Association of Colored Women. More specifically, the
focus of this research examines the work of Mary McLeod Bethune and Mary Church Terrell as
they contributed to the uplift of Black women and youth. The research draws upon the primary
sources of the Mary Church Terrell Papers, Mary McLeod Bethune Papers, and the National
Association of Colored Women’s archival materials within online databases. Secondary sources
provide context to the evidence of social work, the modality of clubwomen’s practices, and the
implications of their roles as Black women within the early civil rights movement of the 1930s
and 1940s. By classifying the Black clubwomen as othermothers and captive maternals, one can
understand their role as social workers grounded in embodied discourse.

description: Rice ranks ninth among major field crops in value of production. All U.S. rice production is irrigated, providing more stable yields than many other crops. Three classes of U.S. rice are produced—long, medium, and short grain—with long grain predominant. Domestic use and exports of U.S. rice rose sharply during the 1970's but have declined in the 1980’s. Between 1980 and 1983, rice stocks rose and prices fell, pushing rice program costs from less than a tenth to over nine-tenths of the value of U.S. rice production. Rice growers are adopting high-yielding, semi-dwarf varieties of long grain rice which could raise U.S. production. Rising production capacity, weak export demand, and the type, level, and flexibility of income and price supports are issues for farm legislation in 1985.

Rebellious to Revolutionary: SNCC and its Transformative Activism
Creators: name: Staimpel, Saskia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced “snik”) was formed in
1960 to give an organizational expression to the unprecedented rise in student activism during
the civil rights movement. In its beginning, SNCC sought to use nonviolent tactics to confront
and dismantle the Jim Crow segregation that oppressed Black Americans across the country. As
SNCC’s focus shifted from dismantling segregation to organizing outside of the political
institutions that did not represent them, its members recognized the systemic nature of the
oppression and injustice they were fighting. This revolutionary understanding of Black
oppression led SNCC members to both realize the limitations of nonviolent tactics and to
embrace Black self-determination, self-empowerment, and self-defense. SNCC’s full
embodiment of these principles at the height of its activism in the late 1960s coincided with the
emergence of the Black Power movement that held these principles and grassroots organizing as
some of their major tenets. This article examines SNCC’s activism from its inception in 1960 to
its peak in 1966, demonstrating how its grassroots activism in the face of extreme racial violence
and lack of government protection and support transformed what its members believed Black
liberation should look like and how it could be achieved.

description: Corn Is the leading U.S. crop, both in volume and in value. In 1982, farmers planted about 82 million acres in corn and harvested 8.2 billion bushels. The farm value of production totaled about $22 billion, about 30 percent of total farm receipts from crops. Rising corn yields and market prices strengthened corn farmers' cash flow positions in the late 1970's ; however, loan rates above market-clearing levels and a continued strong U.S. dollar have contributed to a decline in U.S. corn and coarse grain exports in recent years. Program costs averaged nearly $2.3 billion a year during 1978-82 crop years, or 11 percent of the $20 billion corn crop value. Higher feed grain prices stemming from the programs, however, constitute an indirect cost to the livestock sector and consumers.
Rethinking the Post-Colonial through Nadine Gordimer’s Burger’s Daughter and July’s People
Creators: name: Price, Naraya
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This article critically engages with Nadine Gordimer’s fictional pieces Burger’s Daughter (1979)
and July’s People (1981), both of which possess unique underpinnings of reimagining the postcolonial
state in the global African diaspora. The article focuses on Burger’s Daughter (1979) by
analyzing the politics of white resistance in Black liberation within the context of the antiapartheid
struggle. Its examination of July’s People (1981) highlights the ways in which settler
colonialism, historically and currently, influences the Black family unit and disrupts the
conventional conceptualization of the “post-colonial era.” Through highlighting Gordimer’s
literary footprint within post-colonial intellectual thought, this article argues that Gordimer, as a
white South African woman, uniquely informs our imagination of a world beyond colonization
in which Black liberation is realized through fictional storytelling and elucidates the vast
implications of colonization present in the global African diaspora.

description: One popular approach to model the limit order books dynamics of the best bid and ask at level-1 is to use the reduced-form diffusion approximations. It is well known that the biggest contributing factor to the price movement is the imbalance of the best bid and ask. We investigate the data of the level-1 limit order books of a basket of stocks and study the numerical evidence of drift, correlation, volatility and their dependence on the imbalance. Based on the numerical discoveries, we develop a nonparametric discrete model for the dynamics of the best bid and ask, which can be approximated by a reduced-form model with analytical tractability that can fit the empirical data of correlation, volatilities and probability of price movement simultaneously.
Drowning Their Sorrows in the Ocean: A Review of Black [Mask]ulinity, Drugs, and Water in Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight

description: “You just roll out into the water, right? Roll out into the water like all these other motherfuckers
around here trying to drown they sorrows” (Moonlight 2016). Representations of Black queer
men in media have long been distorted to portray them as feminine, hyper-sexual, messy
individuals with no valid space to fully exist. Based on Tarell Alvin McCraney’s play, In
Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue, Barry Jenkins’ 2016 award-winning film Moonlight tells the
story of a Black gay youngster growing up in a poor neighborhood of Miami and allows for a
marginalized voice to have a seat at the table. Separated into three different parts, Moonlight
follows the life of Chiron and demystifies stereotypes related to hyper-masculinity, drug dealers,
and sexuality in the Black community, giving audiences a peek into a life many have never
thought twice about. It hones in on the meaning of love, both romantic and platonic, and the need
to feel a connection through relationships and friendships. This review examines the ways toxic
masculinity fuels internalized homophobia, how drugs act as a silencing tool for homosexuality,
and how water is a symbol for maturation, independence, empowerment, and the overall struggle
for a sense of identity.

"The Answer Really Lies in The Community": Exploring Inequity in Resilience Planning Through Community Voices - A Study of Post-Florence New Bern, North Carolina
Creators: name: Ruffins, Ranger

description: The most recent National Climate Assessment states that low-income and marginalized groups with “lower capacity to prepare for and cope with extreme weather and climate-related events” will continue to be most affected, and that “adaptation actions for the most vulnerable populations” should be prioritized. However, while equity is receiving more attention in planning discourse, the uneven impacts of hazards on socially vulnerable populations are often ignored by traditional planning efforts. In 2018 Hurricane Florence devastated New Bern, NC, and in its aftermath revealed communities that were disproportionately at risk from the impacts of the hurricane. Through interviews with New Bern residents, this study aims to provide valuable insight regarding challenges and barriers facing equitable resilience planning in New Bern. The participants’ stories, experiences, and insight speak to some of the factors contributing to uneven resilience across the city. This study found that the avoidance and lack of confronting racism in New Bern, coupled with issues of mistrust and poor community engagement practices, are contributing to patterns of inequitable resilience in New Bern. This paper aims to provide a further understanding of these complex challenges and offer insight that can inspire approaches to resilience planning that best serve all of New Bern’s residents.

description: We demonstrate an area law bound on the ground state entanglement entropy of a wide class of gapless quantum states of matter using a strategy called local entanglement thermodynamics. The bound depends only on thermodynamic data, actually a single exponent, the hyper-scaling violation exponent $θ$. All systems in $d$ spatial dimensions obeying our scaling assumptions and with $θ< d-1$ obey the area law, while systems with $θ= d-1$ can violate the area law at most logarithmically. We also discuss the case of frustration-free Hamiltonians and show that to violate the area law more than logarithmically these systems must have an unusually large number of low energy states. Finally, we make contact with the recently proposed $s$-source framework and argue that $θ$ and $s$ are related by $s=2^θ$.

description: This proposal describes an Accountable Care Community (ACC) that will reduce the incidence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in Cumberland County, North Carolina. Over one-fifth of Cumberland County residents experience three or more ACEs. The ACC aims to address the social determinants of health (SDoH) contributing to these ACEs, with a focus on social and community context. This proposal describes evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches to implementing and sustaining a Family Resource Navigator Training (FRNT) program alongside universal Paid Family & Caregiver Leave (PFCL) policy for Cumberland County residents. These approaches represent a novel adaptation of patient navigation and family enrichment models by delivering a standardized curriculum for ACEs resource navigation to Cumberland County families across all occupations and socioeconomic status. The FRNT pilot program centers health and nutrition factors (e.g., abuse, malnutrition, and breastfeeding) in order to address the role of familial wellness in the mitigation of ACEs across the lifespan.

description: We extend the Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (BDDC) method to flows in porous media discretised by mixed-hybrid finite elements with combined mesh dimensions. Such discretisations appear when major geological fractures are modelled by 1D or 2D elements inside three-dimensional domains. In this set-up, the global problem as well as the substructure problems have a symmetric saddle-point structure, containing a `penalty' block due to the combination of meshes. We show that the problem can be reduced by means of iterative substructuring to an interface problem, which is symmetric and positive definite. The interface problem can thus be solved by conjugate gradients with the BDDC method as a preconditioner. A parallel implementation of this algorithm is incorporated into an existing software package for subsurface flow simulations. We study the performance of the iterative solver on several academic and real-world problems. Numerical experiments illustrate its efficiency and scalability.

water supply enterprise is not in a position to cover the capital and operation and

maintenance costs. Accordingly this paper has set out to maximize the total revenue

collected from customers and quantifies the unsatisfied demand so that investment in

new water supply scheme developments can be planned and scaled. The various

methods employed includes review of existing system design, topographic survey data

was collected and search for optimal diameter of pumping mains pipe lines is done, The

present water supply deficit is calculated and the future water demand is forecasted by

use of water use forecasting model, Hydraulic analysis of the distribution system has

been done using steady-state water distribution models, Linear programming technique

concept has been used in the formulation of optimization problem, and several

stakeholder consultations have been carried out with the major stakeholders

description: Studying the reflection of X-rays off the inner edge of the accretion disk in a neutron star low-mass X-ray binary, allows us to investigate the accretion geometry and to constrain the radius of the neutron star. We report on a NuSTAR observation of 4U 1608-52 obtained during a faint outburst in 2014 when the neutron star, which has a known spin frequency of 620 Hz, was accreting at ~1-2% of the Eddington limit. The 3-79 keV continuum emission was dominated by a Gamma~2 power law, with a ~1-2% contribution from a kTbb~0.3-0.6 keV black body component. The high-quality NuSTAR spectrum reveals the hallmarks of disk reflection; a broad iron line peaking near 7~keV and a Compton back-scattering hump around ~20-30 keV. Modeling the disk reflection spectrum points to a binary inclination of i~30-40 degrees and a small `coronal' height of h<8.5 GM/c2. Furthermore, our spectral analysis suggests that the inner disk radius extended to Rin~7-10 GM/c2, close to the innermost stable circular obit. This constrains the neutron star radius to R<21 km and the redshift from the stellar surface to z>0.12, for a mass of M=1.5 Msun and a spin parameter of a=0.29.

description: Housing instability is a well-recognized social determinant of health (SDOH). Housing costs can force individuals to spend large portions of income on housing and lead to issues paying rent, mortgages, overcrowding, and moving frequently and is associated with negative health outcomes. Veterans are at a higher risk of housing instability than the general population. In addition, veterans are overrepresented in the population within Cumberland County. An Accountable Care Community will be established in Cumberland County, to address the SDOH of economic instability which exacerbates housing instability. This will be accomplished through housing support initiatives, as well as mental, physical, and rehabilitative services. This includes direct subsidies to alleviate housing costs and a case management referral program. The ACC partners include, but are not limited to, the Department of Public Health, the Cumberland County Veteran Services Office, Fayetteville City Council, Salvation Army Emergency Shelters, Fayetteville Housing Authority and VA Healthcare Providers.

description: Using analysis for 2-admissible functions in weighted Sobolev spaces and stochastic calculus for possibly degenerate symmetric elliptic forms, we construct weak solutions to a wide class of stochastic differential equations starting from an explicitly specified subset in Euclidean space. The solutions have typically unbounded and discontinuous drift but may still in some cases start from all points of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and thus in particular from those where the drift terms are infinite. As a consequence of our approach we are able to provide new non-explosion criteria for the unique strong solutions of \cite{Zh}.
