War on drugs

description: Singapore has the third highest prisoners-per-population rate among advanced economies, due largely to a strict stance on drug-related crimes. An earlier case study detailed the evolution of Singaporeâ€™s â€˜war on drugsâ€™. The case study begins with a brief statistical overview of Singaporeâ€™s prison population, with an emphasis on drug offenders. This case study will also give an introduction to the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) and its key partners, as well as their incarceration, rehabilitation, and reintegration frameworks. It includes a discussion on a distinctive feature of halfway care in Singapore: the heavy involvement of religious groups and community organizations. The final section discusses prisoner reentry, where state concern is focused on preventing reoffending and successful â€˜reintegrationâ€™, of which a core aspect relates to the employment of ex-offenders.
Noncommutativity and Its Freedoms Due to the PP-Wave and Background Gauge Fields

description: In this article we consider an open string attached to a D$_p$-brane, in the presence of the pp-wave and background gauge fields. The effects of the string mass on the open string propagator, open string metric and the noncommutativity parameter are studied. Some free matrices appear in the propagator and in the open string variables. The symmetries of the string propagator and consistency with the zero mass case put some restrictions on these matrices.

Minimally globally rigid graphs

description: A graph $G = (V,E)$ is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if for any generic placement $p : V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d$ of the vertices, the edge lengths $||p(u) - p(v)||, uv \in E$ uniquely determine $p$, up to congruence. In this paper we consider minimally globally rigid graphs, in which the deletion of an arbitrary edge destroys global rigidity. We prove that if $G=(V,E)$ is minimally globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$ on at least $d+2$ vertices, then $|E|\leq (d+1)|V|-\binom{d+2}{2}$. This implies that the minimum degree of $G$ is at most $2d+1$. We also show that the only graph in which the upper bound on the number of edges is attained is the complete graph $K_{d+2}$. It follows that every minimally globally rigid graph in $\mathbb{R}^d$ on at least $d+3$ vertices is flexible in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$. As a counterpart to our main result on the sparsity of minimally globally rigid graphs, we show that in two dimensions, dense graphs always contain nontrivial globally rigid subgraphs. More precisely, if some graph $G=(V,E)$ satisfies $|E|\geq 5|V|$, then $G$ contains a subgraph on at least seven vertices that is globally rigid in $\mathbb{R}^2$. If the well-known "sufficient connectivity conjecture" is true, then our methods also extend to higher dimensions. Finally, we discuss a conjectured strengthening of our main result, which states that if a pair of vertices $\{u,v\}$ is linked in $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, then $\{u,v\}$ is globally linked in $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove this conjecture in the $d=1,2$ cases, along with a variety of related results.

description: We present a method for symbolic calculation of Feynman amplitudes for processes involving both massless and massive fermions. With this approach fermion strings in a specific amplitude can be easily evaluated and expressed as basic Lorentz scalars. The new approach renders the symbolic calculation of some complicated physical processes more feasible and easier, especially with the assistance of algebra manipulating codes for computer.

description: We propose a novel framework for computing descriptors for characterizing points on three-dimensional surfaces. First, we present a new non-learned feature that uses graph wavelets to decompose the Dirichlet energy on a surface. We call this new feature wavelet energy decomposition signature (WEDS). Second, we propose a new multiscale graph convolutional network (MGCN) to transform a non-learned feature to a more discriminative descriptor. Our results show that the new descriptor WEDS is more discriminative than the current state-of-the-art non-learned descriptors and that the combination of WEDS and MGCN is better than the state-of-the-art learned descriptors. An important design criterion for our descriptor is the robustness to different surface discretizations including triangulations with varying numbers of vertices. Our results demonstrate that previous graph convolutional networks significantly overfit to a particular resolution or even a particular triangulation, but MGCN generalizes well to different surface discretizations. In addition, MGCN is compatible with previous descriptors and it can also be used to improve the performance of other descriptors, such as the heat kernel signature, the wave kernel signature, or the local point signature.

description: Cavinula davisiae Bahls (Figs 93–98)
Valves lanceolate to lanceolate-elliptic, with rounded apices. Valve length 14–31 µm, width 7.5–10 µm. Striae composed of round to elliptic areolae, 32–36 in 10 µm. Areolae around central area elongated; internally covered with hymenes. Stria density 24–26 in 10 µm. Striae radiate throughout. Central area broadly rounded and formed by alternating long and short striae along both valve margins. Axial area narrow and linear, internally axial area thickened, along raphe terminating prior to central area. Externally, raphe filiform, proximal raphe fissures tear-drop in shape and distal fissures hooked to opposite sides on valve face. Internally, proximal fissures terminate as simple pores, terminal fissures end in helictoglossae.
 Type:— Clover Lake, Mount Rainier National Park, Pierce County, Washington, USA; Bahls 2013, fig. 48 (holotype). Here presented in Figs 93–98 from isotype slide ANSP GC65165.
 Observations:— On initial observation, this taxon is similar to C. cocconeiformis, C. variostriata (Krasske) Mann and C. lapidosa (Krasske) Lange-Bertalot. Cavinula davisiae is differentiated by a lower stria density and more pronounced central area; it is further differentiated from C. variostriata (Lange-Bertalot et al. 1996, fig. 19: 27–30) by the smaller central area and the lanceolate not linear valve. In addition, C. lapidosa has a linear valve outline and panduriforme shape of the central area (Lange-Bertalot et al. 1996, fig. 19: 22–26).
 Distribution:— Cavinula davisiae is found across western northern North America and common in circumneutral waters with low conductivity. Previously, specimens were identified under Navicula variostriata Krasske. Validated identifications for this taxon are from Adak Island, Alaska (Hein 1990, originally as C. variostriata) and coastal British Columbia (Pienitz et al. 2003, originally as C. cf. variostriata).
 Distribution Records:— Bahls, L. (2013, fig. 15: 43–51, fig. 15: 48= holotype, Washington).

description: The high-luminosity Super $τ$-Charm Factory (STCF) will be a crucial facility for charm-physics research, particularly for the precise measurement of electroweak parameters, measuring $D^0$-$\bar{D}^0$ mixing parameters, investigating Charge-Parity (CP) violation within the charm sector, searching for the rare and forbidden decays of charmed hadrons, and addressing other foundational questions related to charmed hadrons. With the world's largest charm-threshold data, the STCF aims to achieve high sensitivity in studying the strong phase of neutral $D$ mesons using quantum correlation, complementing studies at LHCb and Belle II, and contributing to the understanding of CP violations globally. The STCF will also enable world-leading precision in measuring the leptonic decays of charmed mesons and baryons, providing constraints on the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix and strong-force dynamics. Additionally, the STCF will explore charmed hadron spectroscopy. The advanced detector and clean experimental environment of the STCF will enable unprecedented precision, help address key challenges in the Standard Model, and facilitate the search for potential new physics.

description: We introduce a generalization of entanglement based on the idea that entanglement is relative to a distinguished subspace of observables rather than a distinguished subsystem decomposition. A pure quantum state is entangled relative to such a subspace if its expectations are a proper mixture of those of other states. Many information-theoretic aspects of entanglement can be extended to the general setting, suggesting new ways of measuring and classifying entanglement in multipartite systems. By going beyond the distinguishable-subsystem framework, generalized entanglement also provides novel tools for probing quantum correlations in interacting many-body systems.

Valves linear to linear-elliptic with broadly rounded apices. Valve length 16–26 µm, width 8–10 µm. Striae punctate, parallel to weakly radiate at the apices, 18–24 in 10 µm. Striae sometimes curved towards apices. Areolae round, easily visible in LM, 25–30 in 10 um. Axial area narrow linear, central area absent to weakly defined. Raphe broad, slightly curved towards proximal raphe fissures; proximal fissures weakly expanded, distal fissures deflect to opposite sides of the valve.
 Type: –– Lake Karluk, Alaska. Manguin 1960, fig. 2: 7 (holotype line drawing)
 Observations:— Cavinula hilliardii is a rare species presently confirmed from LM images. The valves are linear to linear-elliptical, and the lower density of areolae is distinctive for this taxon. In LM, the raphe is broad, easily visible and has some similarity to C. jaernefeltii. The lower areola density and the curved terminal raphe fissures separate this taxon from C. jaernefeltii.
 Distribution:— Currently identified from the Arctic, Alaska, Axel Heiberg Island in the Arctic Archipelago. Based on the observations of Foged (1981) and this study, C. hilliardii has a more restricted northern distribution in oligotrophic and alkaline habitats across the Arctic and Alaska.
 Distribution Records:— Manguin (1960, fig. 2: 7, line drawing, Alaska), Foged (1981, fig. 30: 9–11, Alaska).

description: We investigate the physical properties of equilibrium sequences of non-self-gravitating surfaces that characterize thick disks around a rotating deformed compact object described by a stationary generalization of the static q-metric. The spacetime corresponds to an exact solution of Einstein's field equations so that we can perform the analysis for arbitrary values of the quadrupole moment and rotation parameter. To study the properties of this disk's model, we analyze bounded trajectories in this spacetime. Further, we find that depending on the values of the parameters, we can have various disc structures that can easily be distinguished from the static case and also from the Schwarzschild background. We argue that this study may be used to evaluate the rotation and quadrupole parameters of the central compact object.

description: We study the characteristic time scales of the fluctuating local moments in Hund's metal systems for different degrees of correlation. By analyzing the dynamical spin susceptibility in the real-time domain via the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we determine the time scales controlling oscillation and damping of on-site fluctuations - a crucial factor for the detection of local moments with different experimental probes. We apply this procedure to realistic many-body calculations of different families of iron-pnictides and chalcogenides, explaining the material-specific trend in the discrepancies reported between experimental and theoretical estimates of the magnetic moments.

description: In 2006, the Malaysian government introduced harm reduction as a strategy to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic among injecting drug users (IDUs) in Malaysia. The countryâ€™s harm reduction approach comprised of two initiatives: methadone maintece therapy and the needle syringe exchange program. The introduction of harm reduction marked the governmentâ€™s shifting attitude from one that viewed drugs as a national security issue towards one that treated drugs as a public health concern. But Malaysiaâ€™s harm reduction initiatives still faced numerous challenges. Such strategies were viewed as being counter to the Islamic laws of prohibition and thus faced opposition from some religious leaders and organizations. Further, the public generally took a negative view of IDUs, and law enforcement agencies and public health initiatives sometimes came into tension. The challenges involved in scaling harm reduction efforts had wider implications for the treatment and rehabilitation of drug dependents in Malaysia.

description:
Research integrated into higher education curricula has been shown by numerous studies to be beneficial to undergraduate students. Citizen science provides an alternative to research performed in a lab and is gaining traction as a good choice for integration into classes. The Undergraduate Student Experiences in Citizen Science (USE Cit Sci) research collaboration network is working to help more instructors in higher education adopt citizen science as part of their curriculum by providing training and educational materials. To date, the Network has identified areas of critical need for citizen science to be more readily used in higher education courses and created a clearinghouse of lessons for faculty to use freely. Forthcoming products of the USE Cit Sci network include direct partnerships between educators and citizen science projects in addition to a peer mentoring program. Given the preponderance of ecology citizen science projects available, bringing this educational opportunity to students opens new avenues of pedagogical experiences.

description: A classical spinning particle based on the Kerr-Newman black hole (BH) solution is considered. For parameters of spinning particles $|a|>>m$, the BH horizons disappear and BH image is drastically changed. We show that it turns into a skeleton formed by two coupled stringy systems. One of them is the Kerr singular ring which can be considered as a circular D-string with an orientifold world-sheet. Analyzing the aligned to the Kerr congruence electromagnetic excitations of this string, we obtain the second stringy system which consists of two axial half-infinite chiral D-strings. These axial strings are similar to the Dirac monopole strings but carry the induced chiral traveling pp-waves. Their field structure can be described by the field model suggested by Witten for the cosmic superconducting strings. We discuss a relation of this stringy system to the Dirac equation and argue that this stringy system can play a role of a classical carrier of the wave function.

description: Singaporeâ€™s â€˜zero tolerance approachâ€™ to drugs has been well-established, but there were periods in our history when drug use was viewed as an acceptable social habit, one no more harmful than consuming port or beer; and when opium trading was also extremely profitable. This case study contextualizes Singaporeâ€™s stance on drugs by providing a historical overview of key shifts in legislative approaches to drug use and trafficking in Singapore, with these milestones both reflecting as well as shaping transitions in moral discourses around what has become unequivocally framed as a â€˜resilient social problemâ€™ capable of destroying the lives of responsible citizens, their families, and national development imperatives.
Checking Trustworthiness of Probabilistic Computations in a Typed Natural Deduction System

description: In this paper we present the probabilistic typed natural deduction calculus TPTND, designed to reason about and derive trustworthiness properties of probabilistic computational processes, like those underlying current AI applications. Derivability in TPTND is interpreted as the process of extracting $n$ samples of possibly complex outputs with a certain frequency from a given categorical distribution. We formalize trust for such outputs as a form of hypothesis testing on the distance between such frequency and the intended probability. The main advantage of the calculus is to render such notion of trustworthiness checkable. We present a computational semantics for the terms over which we reason and then the semantics of TPTND, where logical operators as well as a Trust operator are defined through introduction and elimination rules. We illustrate structural and metatheoretical properties, with particular focus on the ability to establish under which term evolutions and logical rules applications the notion of trustworhtiness can be preserved.

description: Questo saggio mira a presentare un modello in divenire volto ad analizzare gli spazi pubblici urbani (UPS), fondato su quattro dimensioni localmente situate –socioeconomica, socioculturale, socio-ambientale e politico-amministrativa – e una dimensione esterna, strutturale. In quanto modello relazionale, si concentra sul modo in cui le istituzioni capitaliste/statali e le loro rappresentazioni dello spazio plasmano luoghi e possibilità disuguali e sul modo in cui i cittadini percepiscono, vivono e si appropriano di questi luoghi, conformandosi in misura maggiore o minore allo spazio sociale della città. Un caso studio incentrato sulle persone di Rio de Janeiro che hanno fatto della strada un mezzo di produzione/riproduzione esaminerà il valore euristico del modello, rivelando come gli utenti si sentono nello spazio pubblico urbano, lo pensano e come reagiscono allo spazio "astratto". This essay aims at presenting a model with four non-exhaustive local content dimensions – socioeconomic, sociocultural, socio-environmental, and political-administrative – with an external dimension as a base to analyze urban public spaces (UPS). As a relational model it focus on how capitalist/state institutions and their representations of space conform unequal places and possibilities and how citizens perceive, live and appropriate these places, conforming to greater or lesser degree the city social space.

description: This report summarizes the financial and production records of 101 dairy farms from throughout Michigan in 2011. To be included, the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from milk and dairy animal sales. The records came from Michigan State University’s TelFarm system and the Farm Credit Service system in Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. The average herd included here is larger than would be the average dairy herd in Michigan. Average values are reported in the summary tables and discussion that follows but one should be aware that considerable variation across herds exists in virtually every measure.

description: Abstract We report Monte Carlo studies of lattices of up to $10^{5}$ skyrmions treated as particles with negative core energy and repulsive interaction obtained from a microscopic spin model. Temperature dependence of translational and orientational correlations has been investigated for different experimental protocols and initial conditions. Cooling the skyrmion liquid from fully disordered high-temperature state results in the formation of a skyrmion polycrystal. A perfect skyrmion lattice prepared at $T=0$, on raising temperature undergoes a first-order melting transition into a polyhexatic state that consists of large orientationally ordered domains of fluctuating shape. On the further increasing temperature, these domains decrease in size, leading to a fully disordered liquid of skyrmions.

A dwarf-dwarf merger and dark matter core as a solution to the Globular Cluster problems in the Fornax dSph

description: The five globular clusters (GCs) of the Fornax dSph are puzzling for two reasons; the mass in GCs is high with respect to the galaxy's old stellar mass, and their survival and large distance (> 1 kpc) is at odds with naive expectations of dynamical friction. We present here a semi-analytic model, simultaneously addressing both problems in a comprehensive evolutionary framework for Fornax. Key to the model is inclusion of: 1) hydrodynamical constraints on the GC formation locations, 2) self-consistent velocity distribution functions in the dynamical friction calculations and 3) expansion of GC orbits due to a past dwarf-dwarf merger in the orbit integrations. The latter is crucial for reconciling the dynamical survival of the clusters, and their chemical properties with respect to the Fornax field stars. We find that in order for four of the GCs to survive at their observed projected location, a dark matter core of radius > 1.5 kpc and a dwarf merger with dynamical mass ratio of 1:5 to 1:2 with Fornax is required. We support the merger scenario by showing that aspects of the field star metallicity distribution function and anomalous chemical properties of GC5, are representative of a merging galaxy which is ~1/3 less massive than Fornax. Together the chemical and dynamical models suggest a scenario where three in-situ GCs in proto-Fornax were ejected to the outskirts during the merger, a GC4 formed during the merger at about 10 Gyrs ago, with GC5 being brought in by the merging galaxy to Fornax.

Policy Analysis: Bridging the Cybersecurity Divide Between Large Enterprises and SMEs
Creators: name: Lim Wei Chieh,
Publisher: name: National University of Singapore
Year: 2018

description: The Word Economic Forumâ€™s 2017 report on digital transformation said that business leaders must undertake five action plans to be digitally ready. One of these steps is to improve cybersecurity, a critical factor in the success and survivability of any digital enterprise. This raises important questions for small and medium enterprises, which have limited resources and budgets. Can they afford the high price of cybersecurity to stay safe and survive? And what about cybersecurity divide between large enterprises that can afford state-of-the-art cyber defences and those that cannot? In this paper, we examine these inequalities and their impact on SMEs, industries, and nations; and the policies needed to ensure that SMEs are adequately secured in cyberspace against the context of Singaporeâ€™s push for SMEs to capture the growth opportunities in the digital economy.

description: In light of an increasingly digitised and knowledge-based economy, Singapore introduced its Smart Nation initiative. As a policy initiative guiding Singaporeâ€™s digital transformation, the Smart Nation initiative relies on several policy tools or â€˜enablersâ€™ to achieve a range of economic, social, and urban policy goals. This case study will assess these policy tools and goals, situating them within the context of Singaporeâ€™s overall approach to economic development. More than simply a policy initiative, the Smart Nation initiative has also involved public administrative reform. In response to inadequate public interest as well as a perceived lack of pace in Singaporeâ€™s digital transformation, a centralised public agency, the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group, was formed to coordinate cross-government digitisation efforts. Singaporeâ€™s ongoing transformation into a Smart Nation has therefore involved both policy innovation and a reorganization of public administration processes. However, Singapore also continues to face challenges in its digitisation efforts, such as insufficient private sector participation or ground-up initiatives.

description: Superoscillations occur when a globally band-limited function locally oscillates faster than its highest Fourier coefficient. We generalize this effect to arbitrary quantum mechanical operators as a weak value, where the preselected state is a superposition of eigenstates of the operator with eigenvalues bounded to a range, and the postselection state is a local position. Superbehavior of this operator occurs whenever the operator's weak value exceeds its eigenvalue bound. We give illustrative examples of this effect for total angular momentum and energy. In the later case, we demonstrate a sequence of harmonic oscillator potentials where a finite energy state converges everywhere on the real line, using only bounded superpositions of states whose asymptotic energy vanishes - "energy out of nothing". This limit requires postselecting the particle in a region whose size diverges in the considered limit. We further show that superenergy behavior implies that the state superoscillates in time with a rate given by the superenergy divided by the reduced Planck's constant. This example demonstrates the possibility of mimicking a high-energy state with coherent superpositions of nearly zero-energy states for as wide a spatial region as desired. We provide numerical evidence of these features to further bolster and elucidate our claims.

title: Il ruolo della conoscenza locale nell’attivazione di comunità di pratiche e di progetto. Il caso della rete Sansheroes (Milano)

description: Il contributo descrive il caso della rete locale Sansheroes, attiva nel quartiere di edilizia residenziale pubblica di San Siro, Milano, dal 2016. L’analisi, a partire il punto di vista del gruppo di ricerca Mapping San Siro, di cui l’autrice fa parte, si sofferma sulle dinamiche di nascita e sviluppo della rete, in particolar modo riflettendo sulle modalità di produzione di conoscenza condivisa come strumento di coesione e impulso di reti territoriali. Il contributo analizza inoltre come la dimensione della ricerca-azione, che connette riflessione e progetto, offra particolari sponde di azione al lavoro territoriale in contesti difficili, mettendo in tensione il concetto di interdisciplinarietà con quello di “contaminazione” tra tipi di conoscenza diversa (saperi locali, saperi situati, ecc.), valorizzando e potenziando le competenze e gli apprendimenti locali nell’ambito della rigenerazione territoriale. The paper describes the case of Sansheroes local network which has been activated in the public housing district of San Siro (Milan) since the year 2016. Moving from the point of view of Mapping San Siro action-research group – which the author belongs to, as a researcher – it focuses on the development of the network, more specifically reflecting on the characteristics of the knowledge co-production process, intended as a tool to foster internal territorial and social cohesion and give impulse to local planning platforms. The paper also analyzes how combining research and action affects the empowerment of territorial work in marginalized and complex contexts, extending the concept of interdisciplinarity to the “blending” and the enhancement of different types of knowledge (local knowledge, situated knowledge, etc).

description: We study the radiative $ρ^0\to π^+π^-γ$ and $ρ^0\to π^0π^0γ$ decays and we calculate their branching ratios using a phenomenological approach by adding to the amplitude calculated within the framework of chiral perturbation theory and vector meson dominance the amplitude of $σ$-meson intermediate state. Our results for the branching ratios are in good agreement with the experimental values.
