description: En este trabajo se presentan los principales momentos de la evolución del modelo de áreas protegidas en occidente, desde la declaración del Parque Nacional de Yellowstone en Estados Unidos (1872) hasta hoy. El concepto de parque nacional a partir de ese hito, va a operar, como el género de las categorías de protección y como el eje de la visión de conservación, que es uno de los enfoques que ha regulado la relación sociedad-naturaleza, inspirado la producción de normas y políticas ambientales en el mundo. Se exponen los elementos característicos de ese primer momento que buscaba conservar áreas vírgenes, sin población en su interior, concentrando la tierra en manos públicas y sin uso de sus recursos, para señalar los más importantes giros o modificaciones de la visión original. Como ese modelo de conservación se exportó y tuvo gran influencia en el mundo, incluida Colombia, también se expone cómo se ha traducido esa evolución en la legislación y la política nacional de áreas protegidas y se indaga acerca de cómo ello responde hoy a los desafíos que plantea la emergencia planetaria y a las interpretaciones evolutivas sobre los fines, funciones y valores en que se soporta la declaración de áreas protegidas.
description: This paper presents key moments in the evolution of the Western protected areas model, starting with the declaration of Yellowstone National Park in the United States (1872) through to the present day. Since that milestone, the concept of a national park has operated as the genus of protection categories and a focus of the conservation vision, a perspective that has regulated the society-nature relationship and inspired the creation of environmental norms and policies globally. This paper lays out characteristic elements of that first moment—which sought to conserve virgin areas that did not have a population within its borders, concentrating land as a public good and preserving its resources—to highlight the most significant shifts or modifications from that original vision. The conservation model was exported, with a major influence internationally, including Colombia, thus, this paper also shows how the model’s evolution has been translated into legislation and national policy on protected areas and explores how it currently responds to challenges posed by the planetary emergency and evolving interpretations of purpose, function, and values that support the declaration of protected areas.

description: Many biological populations reside in increasingly fragmented landscapes, where habitat quality may change abruptly in space. Individuals adjust their movement behavior to local habitat quality and show preferences for some habitat types over others. Several recent publications explore how such individual movement behavior affects population-level dynamics in a framework of reaction-diffusion systems that are coupled through discontinuous boundary conditions. While most of those works are based on linear analysis, we study positive steady states of the nonlinear equations. We prove existence, uniqueness and global stability, and we classify their qualitative shape depending on movement behavior. We apply our results to study the question why and under which conditions the total population abundance at steady state may exceed the total carrying capacity of the landscape.

description: ¿Puede un tipo de Inteligencia Artificial (IA) ser reconocida como un sujeto de derechos? ¿Se considera esto una ficción legal viable? ¿En qué contexto consigue una manifestación de la IA ostentar a su favor derechos patrimoniales o morales? La prospectiva sobre estos cuestionamientos y sus potenciales réplicas constituyen el origen de esta elaboración acerca del probable tratamiento jurídico para la IA como sujeto de derechos, a partir de las creaciones e innovaciones que le son atribuibles en un escenario posthumanista Para tal efecto, se examina el concepto del sujeto de derecho y el correlato de sujeto moral del humanismo. Luego, se describen los escenarios prospectivos de reconocimiento de la IA como sujeto de derechos en clave superadora del humanismo. Por último, se plantean algunos cambios conceptuales requeridos para la construcción de la titularidad de la IA sobre sus creaciones e innovaciones en los referidos contextos. Con la investigación se identifica que la IA no solo es una muestra de desarrollo tecnológico en constante evolución, sino también, en sí misma, un producto cultural que puede llegar a representar un novedoso sujeto de derechos si se fomenta su discusión y desarrollo en un contexto de posthumanismo que supere la escisión hombre-máquina.
description: Can a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) be recognized as a subject of rights? Is this considered a viable legal fiction? In what context does a manifestation of AI manage to claim economic or moral rights in its favor? The prospective on these questions and their potential replications institute the basis of this elaboration on the probable legal treatment of AI as a subject of rights, based on the creations and innovations that are attributable to it in a post humanist scenario. To this end, the concept of the subject of law and the correlate of the moral subject of humanism are examined. Then, we describe prospective scenarios for the recognition of AI as a subject of rights in a key that goes beyond humanism. Finally, some conceptual changes required for the construction of the ownership of AI over its creations and innovations in the referred contexts are proposed. The research identifies that AI is not only a sample of technological development in constant evolution, but also, in itself, a cultural product that can come to represent a novel subject of rights if its discussion and development is encouraged in a context of post humanism that overcomes the human-machine schism.
Deriving an Empirical Model of the Canadian zerocoupon yield curves Tsun Yan Chan Major Paper
Creators: name: Chan, Tsun Yan
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This paper aims to derive an empirical model of the Canadian zero-coupon yield curve using a five-step linear regression method. By emulating from Adrian, Crump and Moench’s (2013) model, I am able to fit the model-implied yields to the observable data on the zero-coupon yield curve. The zero-coupon yield curve dataset is constructed by the Bank of Canada and the sample period is January 1987 to December 2011. There are a total of T = 300 monthly observations and a cross section of N = 12 maturities. First, I compute the principal components of the observable yields and use the first five as state variables. Then, I compute the parameters and derive the model-implied zero-coupon yields. The results show that my model fits well, with very small errors especially for maturities of less than 5 years. I have also estimated the model-implied term premiums.
A Structured Approach for Reviewing Architecture Documentation

description: This technical note proposes a structured approach for reviewing architecture documentation. Given the critical importance of architecture to software project success, it follows that the architecture cannot be effective unless it is effectively captured in documentation that allows the architecture's stakeholders to understand and use the architecture in the way it was intended. The approach does not assume a particular architecture methodology or a particular architecture documentation practice, although it was conceived in the context of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Recommended Practice for Architecture Description of Software-Intensive Systems and the SEI Views and Beyond approach to documenting software architectures. Like both of them, our approach is centered on the stakeholders of the artifact, engaging them in a focused, guided way to ensure that the documentation carries sufficient quality to enable them to do their jobs and to help them point out gaps and weaknesses. Our approach is not intended as a complete framework for architecture evaluation; rather it is meant to be used within such a framework, when one is available.

Para ello, se utiliza el marco de las coaliciones de causa (ACF) y se analiza, principalmente, la información suministrada por diferentes organizaciones durante el trámite y formulación de las normas referidas. Se investiga como dichas organizaciones buscaron trasladar sus creencias a la política, a través de la conformación de coaliciones de causa, el uso de recursos y la generación de aprendizajes que, aprovechando la ocurrencia de eventos externos, dieron lugar al cambio bicéfalo de la política.
description: This document explains the cognitive aspects that generated the two-way change of the front-ofpackage warning labeling policy in Colombia, that is, the change that initially arose and materialized with Resolution 810 of 2021 (circular labeling), and later, the one that arose in the Law 2120 of 2021 (Healthy Food Environments Law) and materialized in Resolution 2492 of 2022 (octagonal labeling). For this, the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) is used and, mainly, the information provided by different organizations during the tracking and formulation of the referred norms is analyzed. Organizations sought to transfer their beliefs to the policy through the formation of advocacy coalitions, the use of resources and the policy-oriented learning which, taking advantage of external events, allowed the two- way policy change.

description: A lecture at Kenyatta University (Nairobi, Kenya) on the relationship between the mundane aspects of daily life and the necessity for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology for human beings followed the concept of Everyday Virtual and Augmented Reality (as outlined in the book by Simeone, Weyers, Bialkova and Lindeman (eds), 2023). The main aim was to present the current discourse of everyday aesthetics and its relation to AR / VR activities and artefacts. The lecture comprised the outline of everyday aesthetics (its genesis, history and basic features and applications). In the second part the lecture provided examples of AR/VR in use and addressed the benefits of AR and VR for our everyday lives, the extent of their current and potential future deployment and use, their user-friendliness, and the possibility of creating or updating aesthetically valuable moments through AR and VR with a primary aim to contribute to bring an answer to the question of whether AR and VR are necessary or important for human beings' everydayness.

description: Calorimeters for particle physics experiments with integration time of a few ns will substantially improve the capability of the experiment to resolve event pileup and to reject backgrounds. In this paper the time development of hadronic showers induced by 30 and 60 GeV positive pions and 120 GeV protons is studied using Monte Carlo simulation and beam tests with a prototype of a sampling steel-scintillator hadronic calorimeter. In the beam tests, scintillator signals induced by hadronic showers in steel are sampled with a period of 0.2 ns and precisely time-aligned in order to study the average signal waveform at various locations with respect to the beam particle impact. Simulations of the same setup are performed using the MARS15 code. Both simulation and test beam results suggest that energy deposition in steel calorimeters develop over a time shorter than 2 ns providing opportunity for ultra-fast calorimetry. Simulation results for an "ideal" calorimeter consisting exclusively of bulk tungsten or copper are presented to establish the lower limit of the signal integration window.

title: International education leadership experiences in Canadian universities: policy and practice
Creators: name: Knutson, Sonja
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: Over the past decade, Canadian universities have experienced significant growth in the numbers of international students and the revenue they represent, a result of both federal policy and the revenue needs of universities. As revenue generation has become an essential element in balancing budgets with international student income as the most significant and stable revenue opportunity, the position of the Senior International Officer (SIO), has inevitably gained prominence. Little empirical research is available on the SIO position, a senior administrative position that exists in most universities in Canada and is accountable for all international activity in Canadian universities. SIOs are expected to add economic value to their institutions and by extension their region or country, as well as to contribute to transformative humanistic goals, such as the development of globally aware graduates (Yemini, 2015). The inherent tension in attracting international students for economic reasons together with the transformative discourse of internationalization is a challenge of SIOs working in Canadian universities. This dissertation explores the impact of the Canadian federal policy context and the expectations of universities with respect to the SIO role on the experiences of those in the role. The focus of the study is on the tensions of the SIO role in balancing expectations to achieve both economic and transformational outcomes, and will employ a qualitative, critical approach. The study itself is divided into three phases: a chronological analysis of federal international education policy in Canada from its beginnings until the present day; a critical discourse analysis of the executive search position briefs through which Canadian universities attract SIOs to the leadership role; and a critical examination of interviews with the incumbents recruited into the university SIO role. The purpose of the research is to understand the experiences of these leaders in carrying out their mandates for campus internationalization. The findings show that SIOs are concerned with the growing focus at this time on internationalization for economic outcomes at both the federal and institutional levels. While SIOs continue to support these economic outcomes, the research shows they find covert ways to implement a more comprehensive internationalization to achieve academic and socio-cultural outcomes. This dissertation demonstrates that SIOs in Canada are committed to a comprehensive approach to internationalization, despite the overwhelming focus on economic outcomes in the discourse of federal policy and institutional expectations and aims for international education.

description: We examine the emergence of the infrared logarithms in the cosmological perturbation theory applied to the minisuperspace scalar slow-roll inflation. Not surprisingly, in the single scalar field model the curvature perturbation $ζ$ is conserved and no $\ln a_B$ behavior appears, where $a_B(t)$ is the background scale factor of the universe. On the other hand, in the presence of a spectator scalar the $n$'th order perturbation theory gives an $(\ln a_B)^n$ correction to $ζ$. However, a nonperturbative estimate shows that $ζ$ actually becomes the sum of a constant and a mildly evolving $\ln a_B$ pieces.

A Software Product Line Vision for Defense Acquisition

description: Experience in industry and government over the last 10 years has shown that a software product line approach can significantly improve productivity and product quality, facilitate change, and reduce life-cycle costs. Defense acquisition policy calls for such improvements related to software but makes no explicit mention of a product line approach as an option. Although policy gives program managers sufficient flexibility to adopt a product line approach, there is little awareness of this possibility and considerable uncertainty concerning when and how to do it. This note presents a vision for software product lines as an acquisition focus and suggests extensions to current Department of Defense policy and practices to increase the awareness of and receptivity to product line acquisition as a viable alternative.

description: A well-known problem within the service-oriented architecture (SOA) community is the need to establish effective SOA governance procedures to enable an organization-wide SOA initiative. A number of organizations and vendors address this problem through SOA governance frameworks that provide models, procedures, and tools for SOA governance. Many of these SOA frameworks are general purpose because they are intended to be useful for a diverse customer base. However, while designed for a wide customer base, vendor SOA frameworks are narrowly focused to work with the specific tools of the vendor. A critical problem for an organization when implementing SOA governance is to customize vendors' offerings to its specific technological and management context. In this technical note, a lightweight and extensible technique is proposed, one that employs scenarios to tailor existing SOA governance frameworks to the specific needs of an organization.
Examining the Impact of Artificial Neural Networks on Military Decision Making

description: Developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve military decision making like never before. An AI can be described as a computer system which simulates human thinking and reasoning process in order to complete a task. Previous AI designs were inadequate for military planning. However, with the development in Artificial Neural Networks AIs should not only be capable of supporting military commanders but can provide better plans than military commanders can imagine. This research paper will explore the positives and negatives of using of Artificial Intelligence in military decision making. The research paper will begin by discussing the different approaches for creating AI. Afterwards, the paper will examine the history of AI development and how Artificial Neural Networks can overcome the challenges in military planning that previous AI designs could not. The paper will conclude will an analysis of AI being used alongside human military commanders, and AI acting autonomously in military decision making.
A Study on the Use of Eye Tracking to Adapt Gameplay and Procedural Content Generation in First-Person Shooter Games

description: This paper studies the use of eye tracking in a First-Person Shooter (FPS) game as a~mechanism to: (1) control the attention of the player's avatar according to the attention deployed by the player, and (2) guide the gameplay and game's procedural content generation, accordingly. This results in a more natural use of eye tracking in comparison to a use in which the eye tracker directly substitutes control input devices, such as gamepads. The study was conducted on a custom endless runner FPS, Zombie Runner, using an affordable eye tracker. Evaluation sessions showed that the proposed use of eye tracking provides a more challenging and immersive experience to the player, when compared to its absence. However, a strong correlation between eye tracker calibration problems and player's overall experience was found. This means that eye tracking technology still needs to evolve but also means that once technology gets mature enough players are expected to benefit greatly from the inclusion of eye tracking in their gaming experience.

description: If we are to develop a comprehensive and predictive theory of galaxy formation and evolution, it is essential that we obtain an accurate assessment of how and when galaxies assemble their stellar populations, and how this assembly varies with environment. There is strong observational support for the hierarchical assembly of galaxies, but by definition the dwarf galaxies we see today are not the same as the dwarf galaxies and proto-galaxies that were disrupted during the assembly. Our only insight into those disrupted building blocks comes from sifting through the resolved field populations of the surviving giant galaxies to reconstruct the star formation history, chemical evolution, and kinematics of their various structures. To obtain the detailed distribution of stellar ages and metallicities over the entire life of a galaxy, one needs multi-band photometry reaching solar-luminosity main sequence stars. The Hubble Space Telescope can obtain such data in the outskirts of Local Group galaxies. To perform these essential studies for a fair sample of the Local Universe will require observational capabilities that allow us to extend the study of resolved stellar populations to much larger galaxy samples that span the full range of galaxy morphologies, while also enabling the study of the more crowded regions of relatively nearby galaxies. With such capabilities in hand, we will reveal the detailed history of star formation and chemical evolution in the universe.
Taking a Knee: Estimating The Impacts of National Anthem Protests in the National Football League on Salary and Performance
Creators: name: Zaporzan, Paul
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: This paper examines the effects of protests during the U.S. national anthem on National Football League players’ salaries and performance. Using a difference-in-differences method with players who did not protest acting as the control group, I find no evidence that salary decreases for players who kneel. Similarly, there is no statistically significant effect on total yards per game, or combined tackles. This study has generalized applications for broader social movements which may have impacts on earnings or performance, due to negative connotations associated with social protests.

description: This case study is actually two comparative case studies, both focused on the siting of gas electricity generation plants in the outskirts of the Greater Toronto Area. The communities are the Town of Oakville (west of Toronto) and King Township (north of Toronto). The proposed gas plants were part of a province-wide initiative to upgrade and increase generation capacity in the wake of decisions to close or upgrade coal and nuclear generation plants. Through 2006-07, the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) engaged in an integrated power system planning process to determine the need for new facilities, including the facilities in Oakville and King. Hearings on the power system plan were held in 2008. No issues were raised but the hearings only identified general regional needs, not specific sites. The hearings and Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) process ultimately resulted in the successful siting of more than 30 electricity generation and transmission projects from 2006 until 2014. A competitive procurement process was used, in which developers would put together differing solutions (sites, facility design, locations) in response to a RFP (request for proposals). The province would assess the proposals through a point system. Many (but not all) of the issues discussed in these case studies were addressed by a set of recommendations for planning and siting by the OPA and the IESO in 2013, and by the merger of both entities in 2015. This case study includes a discussion of these recommendations in the discussion section.

description: Among Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMD), NbS$_2$ is often considered as the archetypal compound that does not have a Charge Density Wave (CDW) in any of its polytypes. By comparison, close iso-electronic compounds such as NbSe$_2$, TaS$_2$ and TaSe$_2$ all have CDW in at least one polytype. Here, we report traces of CDW in the 2H polytype of NbS$_2$, using diffuse x-ray scattering measurements at 77\,K and room temperature. We observe 12 extremely weak satellite peaks located at $\pm$13$^\mathrm{o}$ 54' from $\vec{a}^*$ and $\vec{b}^*$ around each Bragg peaks in the $(h,k,0)$ plane. These satellite peaks are commensurate with the lattice via $3\vec{q}-\vec{q}\,'=\vec{a}^*$, where $\vec{q}\,'$ is the 120$^{\circ}$ rotation of $\vec{q}$, and define two chiral $\sqrt{13}\,a\times\sqrt{13}\,a$ superlattices in real space. These commensurate wavevectors and tilt angle are identical to those of the CDW observed in the 1T polytype of TaS$_2$ and TaSe$_2$. To understand this similarity and the faintness of the peaks, we discuss possible sources of local 1T polytype environment in bulk 2H-NbS$_2$ crystals.

The Right to Privacy in Media Discourse: American and Canadian Reporting on the Snowden Disclosures
Creators: name: Smith, Kiersten-Lee
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: How did the U.S. and Canadian news media cover privacy following the Snowden disclosures in 2013? What were the dominant frames used in portraying the disclosures and to what extent did the media mention privacy? Were there any prominent differences between Canadian and U.S. media coverage of the disclosures? Content analysis of four mainstream newspapers from both Canada and the United States revealed news coverage that largely circumvented difficult questions of privacy in the year following the Snowden disclosures. One American newspaper was found to be extremely negative in its portrayal of the disclosures, while both Canadian newspapers framed the disclosures more positively. The most dominant frame found in the study was found most frequently in both a Canadian and American newspaper under study, illustrating that understanding of the disclosures was similar in both countries to some degree. This study also draws comparisons between Canadian and American overlapping perspectives on corporations increasing collection of consumer data. The main finding of this study was that while most articles in the analysis called for a debate, the concept of privacy was largely circumvented in the media.

description: Μέχρι και σήμερα η ενέργεια που απαιτείται στον τομέα της ναυτιλίας προέρχεται κυρίως από ορυκτά καύσιμα, όπως πετρέλαιο και φυσικό αέριο. Ωστόσο, η καύση των προαναφερ-θέντων ορυκτών καυσίμων οδηγεί σε σημαντική περιβαλλοντική υποβάθμιση μέσω των ρύ-πων που εκπέμπουν (κυρίως οξείδια του αζώτου, οξείδια του θείου). Σύμφωνα με νέες έ-ρευνες η αμμωνία (NH3) μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως εναλλακτική καύσιμη ύλη στον τομέα της ναυτιλίας με σημαντικά περιβαλλοντικά οφέλη. Η αμμωνία μπορεί να παραχθεί με ποι-κίλους τρόπους κυρίως όμως το ενδιαφέρον εστιάζεται στην παραγωγή της μέσω ανανεώσι-μων πηγών ενέργειας (ΑΠΕ), προς την κατεύθυνση της αειφόρου ανάπτυξης. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία θα πραγματοποιηθεί αρχικά μία ιστορική αναδρομή για την λειτουργία των πλοίων και τις περιβαλλοντικές τους επιπτώσεις ως αποτέλεσμα της χρήσης ορυκτών καυσίμων. Έπειτα θα αναλυθεί η διαδικασία παραγωγής αμμωνίας, με ή χωρίς τη χρήση ΑΠΕ, με έμφαση στο περιβαλλοντικό αποτύπωμα και στο κόστος παραγωγής αμμωνίας. Τέ-λος, θα πραγματοποιηθεί μια προκαταρκτική τεχνο-οικονομική και περιβαλλοντική μελέτη της χρήσης αμμωνίας ως εναλλακτικό καύσιμο στα πλοία και θα αναδειχθούν τα πλεονεκτή-ματα και οι προοπτικές ανάπτυξης στον τομέα της ναυτιλίας.
description: To date, the energy required in the shipping sector comes mainly from fossil fuels, such as oil and gas. However, the combustion of the above mentioned fossil fuels leads to significant environmental degradation through the pollutants they emit (nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides). According to new research ammonia (NH3) can be used as an alternative fuel in the shipping sector with significant environmental benefits. Ammonia can be produced in a variety of ways but mainly the focus is on its production through renewable energy sources (RES), in the direction of sustainable development. This dissertation will initially provide a historical overview of the operation of ships and their environmental impact as a result of the use of fossil fuels. Then the process of ammonia production will be analyzed, with or without the use of RES, with emphasis on the environmental footprint and the cost of ammonia production. Finally, a techno-economic and environmental study of the use of ammonia as an alternative fuel to ships will be carried out and the advantages and growth prospects in the shipping sector will be highlighted.

description: The Risk Focus Team at the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has identified a means of characterizing risk-based diagnostic methods and techniques. The Risk Focus Team has constructed a tentative "roadmap" for consultants, program managers, and other personnel involved in the systems and software acquisition community. The roadmap will help them to identify the appropriate risk diagnostic techniques for assessing threats to program success. This technical note describes the characteristics that determine whether a risk diagnostic method qualifies for the roadmap. The technical note identifies three methods, the SEI Software Risk Evaluation, Architectural Tradeoff Analysis Method, and the SEI Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Usage Risk Evaluation that fit the characteristics described. The technical note also describes the characteristics of diagnostic methods that do not qualify for the roadmap.
