description: The objective of this cross-sectional study was to investigate whether total need satisfaction and three separate basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) predict life skills development in dual-career athletes according to sex, type of sport, type of higher education institution and financial support. Participants included 136 Brazilian university athletes (65 boys and 71 girls) aged 17–23. Data collection was conducted via Basic Needs Satisfaction in Sport Scale (BNSSS) and the Life Skills Scale for Sport (LSSS). Bayesian multilevel linear regression model found that total need satisfaction and three separate basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) influenced life skills (teamwork, social skills, leadership, goal setting and communication) and total life skills development in dual-career athletes. Total need satisfaction influenced leadership and total life skills. Competence and relatedness influenced goal seating, social skill, leadership and total life skills. Autonomy might not have a strong correlation with life skills development dimensions standardised scores and total life skills standardised score independent of sex, type of sport, type of higher education institution and financial support. Based on such findings, satisfaction of all three basic needs combined (total need satisfaction) and separate autonomy, competence and relatedness was positively associated with the development of life skills in dual-career athletes.

description: We study the statistics of the number of records R_{n,N} for N identical and independent symmetric discrete-time random walks of n steps in one dimension, all starting at the origin at step 0. At each time step, each walker jumps by a random length drawn independently from a symmetric and continuous distribution. We consider two cases: (I) when the variance σ^2 of the jump distribution is finite and (II) when σ^2 is divergent as in the case of Lévy flights with index 0 < μ< 2. In both cases we find that the mean record number grows universally as \sim α_N \sqrt{n} for large n, but with a very different behavior of the amplitude α_N for N > 1 in the two cases. We find that for large N, α_N \approx 2 \sqrt{\log N} independently of σ^2 in case I. In contrast, in case II, the amplitude approaches to an N-independent constant for large N, α_N \approx 4/\sqrtπ, independently of 0

description: The European Space Agency (ESA) uses an engine to perform tests in the Ground Segment infrastructure, specially the Operational Simulator. This engine uses many different tools to ensure the development of regression testing infrastructure and these tests perform black-box testing to the C++ simulator implementation. VST (VisionSpace Technologies) is one of the companies that provides these services to ESA and they need a tool to infer automatically tests from the existing C++ code, instead of writing manually scripts to perform tests. With this motivation in mind, this paper explores automatic testing approaches and tools in order to propose a system that satisfies VST needs.

description: The present study examines sex differences regarding children's self-perceptions and motor competence (locomotor and object control subtests), parents' perceptions about their boys’ and girls’ competence, and the associations among these variables. Parents and their children (N = 77; M = 8.70, SD = 2.13) participated in the study. The children’s motor competence was assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development – Second Edition (TGMD-2). The children’s self-perceptions were assessed using the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance and the Self-Perception Profile for Children, depending on the child’s age. The parental perception of their children's motor competence was assessed using an adapted version of the children’s perceptions of motor competence. Boys and girls were similar regarding the locomotor subtest; boys showed significantly higher scores for the object control subtest than girls. Parents’ perceptions of children’s motor competence were significantly related to the children´s motor competence and were the stronger predictor in the locomotor model and the second predictor in the object control subtest model; sex was the stronger predictor for the object control subtest. Our findings address new information regarding children's motor and parents' motor competence.

description: The present study aimed to analyse the associations between spatiotemporal characteristics of the setting and the origin of the ball in terms of the game complexes for junior female volleyball teams. Multinomial logistic regression and multiple correspondence analysis were applied to analyse 3.675 setting actions (Complex I = 1.593, Complex II = 2.082) in the final phase of the Greek Junior Championship. Results showed that the origin of the ball from the left lane of the court eases the setter for an accurate setting during CI while passing from the right lane incommodes the setter during CII. Regarding setting zone, for accurate setting, odds are increased by 3.2 for zone 4 during CI while decreased by 23.8 for zone 3 during CII. The junior setters’ distribution of setting is predictable and creates favourable conditions for the opponent to deal with it. The improvement of junior female setters’ ability to follow the team’s offensive tactic regardless of the ball's origin, to manipulate passes received from the right lane of the court during CII and the acceleration of setting tempo for the wing hitters could be training goals for coaches.

description: Recently much interest has been directed towards designing setups that achieve realistic loss thresholds for decisive tests of local realism, in particular in the optical regime. We analyse the feasibility of such Bell tests based on a W-state shared between multiple parties, which can be realised for example by a single photon shared between spatial modes. We develop a general error model to obtain thresholds on the efficiencies required to violate local realism, and also consider two concrete optical measurement schemes.

The excited level have been observed up to 5.6 MeV excitation energy and spin $\sim$ 20$\hbar$ with the level scheme showing three dipole bands. The polarization and lifetime measurements were carried out for the dipole bands. Tilted axis cranking model calculations were performed for different quasi-particle configurations of this doubly odd nucleus. Comparison of the calculations of the model with the B(M1) transition strengths of the positive and negative parity bands firmly established their configurations.

Understanding a folksonomy as a web classification
Creators: name: Hee Jin, Park
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Despite increasing interest in folksonomy in practice as well as in research, little has been done to build a solid conceptual framework to understand how people classify Web resources using a folksonomy. This study is an attempt to articulate a conceptual framework that will help us better understand users’ interactions with a folksonomy. The conceptual framework consists of three components of users’ interactions with the folksonomy: (1) tagging – cognitive categorization of an individual user with a Web accessible resource; (2) navigation – exploration and discovery of Web accessible resources in the folksonomic system; and (3) knowledge sharing – representation and communication of knowledge within a domain that consists of a group of users who share the same interests or goals. The current study is exploratory and descriptive, focusing on the first component of users’ interaction with a folksonomy, tagging. The purpose of this study is to explore how users are tagging in order to utilize a folksonomy; and whether or how they understand the social and interactive aspects of tagging in three different folksonomic systems, Connotea (www.connotea.org), Delicious (http://delicious.com), and CiteULike (www.citeulike.org). The study uses Web questionnaires, qualitative diary studies, and follow-up interviews to understand 12 participants’ tagging activities associated with folksonomic interactions. The flow charts developed from 12 participants showed that tagging was a quite complex process, in which each tagging activity was interconnected, and a variety of folksonomic system features were employed. Three main tagging activities involved in the tagging processes have been identified: item selection, tag assignment, and tag searching and discovery. During tag assignment, participants would describe their tagging motivations related to various types of tags. Their perception of the usefulness of types of tags was different when their purpose was social sharing than when it was personal information management. While tagging, participants recognized the social potential of a folksonomic system and used interactive aspects of tagging via various features of the folksonomic system. It is hoped that this empirical study will provide insight into theoretical and practical issues regarding users’ perceptions and use of folksonomy in accessing, sharing, and navigating Web resources.

description: We study the signal of anisotropy in AGNs/quasars of CatWISE2020 catalogue using different observables. It has been reported earlier that this data shows a strong signal of dipole anisotropy in the source number counts. We test this claim using two independent data analysis procedures and find our number count dipole consistent with the earlier results. In addition to number counts, we test for the anisotropy signal in two other observables -- mean spectral index $\barα$ and mean flux density $\bar{B}$. We find a dipole signal of considerable strength both in the mean spectral index and the mean flux density. The dipole in mean flux density points towards the galactic center and becomes very weak after imposing a flux cut to remove sources with flux greater than 1 mJy. This can be attributed to the presence of some bright sources. The signal in mean spectral index, however, is relatively stable as a function of both flux and galactic cuts. The dipole in this observable points roughly opposite to the galactic center and hence most likely arises due to galactic bias. Hence, the signal in both the mean spectral index and mean flux density appears to be consistent with isotropy.

description: We study the multi-dimensional geometry of supernova (SN) explosions by means of spectropolarimetric observations of stripped-envelope SNe, i.e., SNe without a H-rich layer. We perform spectropolarimetric observations of 2 stripped-envelope SNe, the Type Ib SN 2009jf and the Type Ic SN 2009mi. Both objects show non-zero polarization at the wavelength of the strong lines. They also show a loop in the Stokes Q-U diagram, which indicates a non-axisymmetric, three-dimensional ion distribution in the ejecta. We show that five out of six stripped-envelope SNe which have been observed spectropolarimetrically so far show such a loop. This implies that a three-dimensional geometry is common in stripped-envelope SNe. We find that stronger lines tend to show higher polarization. This effect is not related to the geometry, and must be corrected to compare the polarization of different lines or different objects. Even after the correction, however, there remains a dispersion of polarization degree among different objects. Such a dispersion might be caused by three-dimensional clumpy ion distributions viewed from different directions.

description: The Galactic black-hole candidate GX 339-4 exhibited several outbursts at regular intervals of \sim 2-3 years in the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) era. After remaining in an almost quiescent state for 3 years, it again became X-ray active in 2010 January, continuing to be so over the next \sim 14 months. We study the timing and spectral properties of the black hole candidate (BHC) during its recent outburst using RXTE PCA data, starting from 2010 January 12 to 2011 March 6. Our study provides a comprehensive understanding of the mass accretion processes and properties of the accretion disk of the black hole candidate. The PCA spectra of 2.5-25 keV are mainly fitted with a combination of two components, namely, a disk black body and a power-law. The entire outburst as observed by RXTE, is divided into 4 spectral states, namely, hard, hard-intermediate, soft-intermediate, and soft. Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) were found in 3 out of the 4 states, namely hard, hard-intermediate, and soft-intermediate. The QPO frequencies increase monotonically from 0.102 Hz to 5.692 Hz in the rising phase of the outburst, while during the declining phase QPO frequencies decrease monotonically from 6.420 to 1.149 Hz. The recent outburst of GX 339-4 gives us an opportunity to understand the evolution of the two-component accretion rates starting from the onset to the end of the outburst phase. We found that the QPO frequency variation could be explained by the propagating oscillatory shock model (POS) and the hardness versus intensity variation can be reproduced if we assume that higher viscosity causes the conversion of a low angular momentum disk component into a Keplerian component during the outburst phase. The decline phase starts because of the reduction in the viscosity.

description: This study examines the potential of dialogic communication in health communication between Chinese migrant workers and government health officials. The study applies Kent and Taylor's model of dialogic theory as an analytical framework to examine the following:
How desirable dialogic communication is to both Chinese migrant workers and government health officials.
How dialogic the communication between the two may become.
What factors, if any, may restrain the process.
The study finds that dialogic communication is desirable to both Chinese migrant workers and government health officials. However, the communication between the two is not always dialogic. The study identifies several factors that may restrain the process, including:
The cultural tradition of paternalism in China.
The lack of trust between Chinese migrant workers and government health officials.
The different perspectives of the two groups on STDs.
The study concludes that dialogic communication is a promising approach to health communication between Chinese migrant workers and government health officials. However, more efforts are needed to overcome the challenges and realize the full potential of dialogic communication.

Navigating Colonialism through Sports

description: “Navigating colonialism through Sports in Portuguese Africa” aims to present a brief review of literature on the importance of sports in the African colonies/provinces of the Portuguese Colonial Empire, namely regarding the diffusion and the appropriation of sports – as a tool of colonial control and repression by the coloniser and as a tool of resistance by the colonised. The research question focuses on the fact that the colonised accepted (European) sports but also used the opportunity to resist the colonial system. The selected articles reflect on the role of colonialism and its link to the effort placed on the use of sports to promote national cohesion and identity building (coloniser) or to promote resistance (colonised). The different studies prove that football/soccer was the most practised sport in the former colonies during the Portuguese occupation.

description: Variance reduction techniques are of crucial importance for the efficiency of Monte Carlo simulations in finance applications. We propose the use of neural SDEs, with control variates parameterized by neural networks, in order to learn approximately optimal control variates and hence reduce variance as trajectories of the SDEs are being simulated. We consider SDEs driven by Brownian motion and, more generally, by Lévy processes including those with infinite activity. For the latter case, we prove optimality conditions for the variance reduction. Several numerical examples from option pricing are presented.

Gegeben ist hierbei eine Reihe von Städten mit ihren paarweisen Abständen und eine geforderte Anzahl an Besuchen für jede Stadt. Das Ziel ist es zwischen zwei vorgegebenen Städten eine Reisestrecke minimaler Kosten zu finden, die jede Stadt genau so oft besucht, wie es gefordert ist. In dieser Arbeit stellen wir zunächst einen exakten Algorithmus vor, welcher eine optimale Lösung berechnet und dabei, abhängig von der Größe der Eingabe, exponentiell viel Zeit aber nur polynomiell viel Speicherplatz benötigt. Die Zeit- und Speicherplatzkomplexität ist dabei asymptotisch optimal. Darüber hinaus präsentieren wir eine effiziente 1,5-Approximation unter metrischen Entfernungskosten sowie Approximationen mit konstanter Güte für verschiedene Varianten des Problems mit mehreren Reisenden.
description: The Many-Visits Path TSP is a natural generalisation of the Travelling Salesman Path Problem. We are given a set of cities, with pairwise distances between the cities, and in addition a visit requirement for each city. The aim is to find a minimum-cost walk between two specified end-vertices, that visits each city exactly as many times, as its requirement. In this thesis, we first provide an exact algorithm for the problem, that calculates an optimal solution in time exponential but space polynomial in the size of the input. The time and space complexities are asymptotically best possible. Moreover, we provide an efficient 1.5-approximation in case of metric distance costs, and constant-factor approximations for several variants of the problem with multiple agents.

description: Аннотация: в результате представленного перевода «Memoir» на современный русский язык воспоминаний Эрнандо де Эскаланте де Фонтанеда о семнадцатилетней жизни вместе с индейцами с 1551 по 1566 год, становится возможным рассмотрение широкой русскоговорящей аудиторией по всему миру взгляда типичного испанца, связанного своими корнями с Испанией и Латинской Америкой. Сами воспоминания Фонтанеда вызовут, несомненно, большую заинтересованность в изучении американской «досеминольской» истории. Также выводы самого Фонтанеда после многолетнего пребывания у индейцев и комментарии автора статьи, надеемся, что привлекут множественные междисциплинарные исследования, в частности, психологов, религиоведов, политологов и других ученых разных специальностей, которые могут исследовать историю Флориды и человеческих отношений испанцев XVI века в координатах существующей тогда жизни аборигенов.

description: In China, the Grain for Green Program (GGP) is an ambitious project to convert croplands into natural vegetation, but exactly how changes in vegetation translate into changes in soil organic carbon remains less clear. Here we conducted a meta-analysis using 734 observations to explore the effects of land recovery on the soil organic carbon and nutrients in 4 provinces in Southwest China. Following GGP, the soil organic carbon content (SOCc) and soil organic carbon storage (SOCs) increased by 33.73% and 22.39%, respectively. Likewise, soil nitrogen increased, while phosphorus decreased. Outcomes were heterogeneous, however, depending on variation in soil and environmental characteristics. Both the regional land use and cover change indicated by landscape type transfer matrix and net primary production from 2000 to 2020 further confirmed that GGP promoted the forest area (2.95%) and regional mean net primary production (52.94%). Our findings suggest that GGP could enhance soil and vegetation carbon sequestration in Southwest China and help to develop carbon neutral strategy.

description: Learning from demonstration (LfD) provides a convenient means to equip robots with dexterous skills when demonstration can be obtained in robot intrinsic coordinates. However, the problem of compounding errors in long and complex skills reduces its wide deployment. Since most such complex skills are composed of smaller movements that are combined, considering the target skill as a sequence of compact motor primitives seems reasonable. Here the problem that needs to be tackled is to ensure that a motor primitive ends in a state that allows the successful execution of the subsequent primitive. In this study, we focus on this problem by proposing to learn an explicit correction policy when the expected transition state between primitives is not achieved. The correction policy is itself learned via behavior cloning by the use of a state-of-the-art movement primitive learning architecture, Conditional Neural Motor Primitives (CNMPs). The learned correction policy is then able to produce diverse movement trajectories in a context dependent way. The advantage of the proposed system over learning the complete task as a single action is shown with a table-top setup in simulation, where an object has to be pushed through a corridor in two steps. Then, the applicability of the proposed method to bi-manual knotting in the real world is shown by equipping an upper-body humanoid robot with the skill of making knots over a bar in 3D space. The experiments show that the robot can perform successful knotting even when the faced correction cases are not part of the human demonstration set.

description: This paper presents a personal point of view on the prospects open for top quark physics analyses at the LHC with 10 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at 7 TeV. We discuss the main directions for improvement for the analyses presented at TOP2011 when moving to a regime where systematic uncertainties are the limiting factors, and suggest some new studies that become possible for the first time thanks to the larger statistics.

description: Mutations causing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) often affect the condensation properties of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). However, the role of RBP condensation in the specificity and function of protein-RNA complexes remains unclear. We created a series of TDP-43 C-terminal domain (CTD) variants that exhibited a gradient of low to high condensation propensity, as observed in vitro and by nuclear mobility and foci formation. Notably, a capacity for condensation was required for efficient TDP-43 assembly on subsets of RNA-binding regions, which contain unusually long clusters of motifs of characteristic types and density. These "binding-region condensates" are promoted by homomeric CTD-driven interactions and required for efficient regulation of a subset of bound transcripts, including autoregulation of TDP-43 mRNA. We establish that RBP condensation can occur in a binding-region-specific manner to selectively modulate transcriptome-wide RNA regulation, which has implications for remodeling RNA networks in the context of signaling, disease, and evolution.
Dilemmas in an online academic discussion

description: Since the application of Web-based templates in distance education, the threaded discussion forum is regarded as one of the most effective tools for promoting interaction in a virtual learning community (Smith, Ferguson, & Caris, 2003). However, as interactions are being encouraged, facilitated, and evaluated in the discussion online forum, what do students do when they interact with each other, with course content, and with their instructors? What problems do they face as they ‘talk’ with each other? What strategies do they use to balance and negotiate the embedded institutional discourse, course objectives and requirements, personal ideals and goals? This qualitative case study investigated some of the complexities of different aspects of the online threaded discussion in a Canadian university graduate online course. The data was collected from an asynchronous graduate seminar. The goal of the study was to examine the tensions and conflicts that pertain to the interactions in the online community in order to better understand the nature of the interaction in an online learning community and to provide insights for more effective online learning environment. The findings suggest that a major challenge for establishing a successful online academic community is the recognition and better understanding of the complex nature of the online discussion. The issues of academic versus interpersonal, freedom versus constraints, vulnerability versus the need to socialize underpin students’ engagement in academic learning and satisfaction. The finding also indicates that the notion of ‘academic community’ unfolded in discussion forum needs to recognize the legitimacy of and to include and facilitate a space for social/interpersonal interactions in addition to academic content learning. The study indicated that the perceptions of the functions of online academic discussion needed to be considered in the context of personal education ideologies and learning goals. Students’ ideologies of education play a role in their perceptions of the functions of the learning environment. Their perceptions affect their participation and satisfaction of their online experience. Knowledge of their perceptions helps the instructor adjust to allow variations of styles and degrees of interactions.

description: We study the magneto-optical (MO) response of polar semiconductor BiTeI with giant bulk Rashba spin splitting at various carrier densities. Despite being non-magnetic, the material is found to yield a huge MO activity in the infrared region under moderate magnetic fields (<3 T). By comparison with first-principles calculations, we show that such an enhanced MO response is mainly due to the intraband transitions between the Rashba-split bulk conduction bands in BiTeI, which give rise to distinct novel features and systematic doping dependence of the MO spectra. We further predict an even more pronounced enhancement in the low-energy MO response and dc Hall effect near the crossing (Dirac) point of the conduction bands.
