description: Deterministic rules for generating choice sets are often employed by analysts confronting universal sets with large numbers of alternatives. For destination choice analysis, site exclusion rules defined by travel time, distance, or quality have a behavioral appeal, yet are fundamentally limited by their one-dimension scope. To remedy this shortcoming while maintaining the concept that trips require costly inputs to yield utility generating outputs, we develop and test an exclusion rule for generating choice sets defined by efficiency measures derived from stochastic frontier econometric models. Choice set composition, site choice efficiency and probability of selection, and consumer surplus are compared with results obtained under alternative exclusion rules.
The idea of trusteeship in international society : unity, progress, and the perfection of humankind
Creators: name: Bain, William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The idea of trusteeship presupposes a relationship in which a natural person or a legal person is responsible for the general well being of one or more persons who are deemed to be incapable of directing their own affairs without incurring harm to themselves. The purpose of this study is to interrogate the character of trusteeship in international society. By that I mean: I want to discern the assumptions, claims, and justifications that render trusteeship intelligible as a recognised and settled form of human conduct. This investigation will proceed by examining trusteeship in the context of the British East India Company, the partition of Africa, the League of Nations mandates system, the United Nations trusteeship system, the anti-colonial movement, and the contemporary problems presented by failed and unjust states. This investigation concludes by suggesting that the character of trusteeship is intelligible in a particular relation of virtue, inequality, and tutelage. The idea of trusteeship assumes that the fit, that is, the virtuous, shall rule in the interest of the incapable. It assumes that some notion of defect joins ruler and subject in a hierarchical relationship whereby the enlightened instruct the ignorant in the true nature of things. And it assumes that the ends toward which this tutelage is directed are concerned with promoting the welfare of dependent peoples and protecting them from exploitation. The character of trusteeship is also intelligible in the context of other ideas that say something about the nature of the human family, its relation to history, and the possibilities of its future. First, trusteeship is premised on the notion of a universal human family that is joined together by a mutual capacity to understand a common law of humanity. Second, groups within this universal human family may disclose different degrees of development but they are all moving in a common direction called 'progress.' Third, these peoples are moving in a common journey toward some state of enlightenment called 'perfection.' Together, these ideas provide the context in which trusteeship ought to be understood as an obligation imposed on the strong to act on behalf of the weak.

description: In the core accretion scenario, a massive core forms first and then accretes an envelope. When discussing how this core forms some divergences appear. First scenarios of planet formation predict the accretion of km-sized bodies, called planetesimals, while more recent works suggest growth by accretion of pebbles, which are cm-sized objects. These two accretion models are often discussed separately and we aim here at comparing the outcomes of the two models with identical initial conditions. We use two distinct codes: one computing planetesimal accretion, the other pebble accretion. Using a population synthesis approach, we compare planet simulations and study the impact of the two solid accretion models, focussing on the formation of single planets. We find that the planetesimal model predicts the formation of more giant planets, while the pebble accretion model forms more super-Earth mass planets. This is due to the pebble isolation mass concept, which prevents planets formed by pebble accretion to accrete gas efficiently before reaching Miso. This translates into a population of planets that are not heavy enough to accrete a consequent envelope but that are in a mass range where type I migration is very efficient. We also find higher gas mass fractions for a given core mass for the pebble model compared to the planetesimal one caused by luminosity differences. This also implies planets with lower densities which could be confirmed observationally. Focusing on giant planets, we conclude that the sensitivity of their formation differs: for the pebble accretion model, the time at which the embryos are formed, as well as the period over which solids are accreted strongly impact the results, while for the planetesimal model it depends on the planetesimal size and on the splitting in the amount of solids available to form planetesimals.

description: We propose that the low energy behavior of a pure gauge theory can be studied by simply assuming violation of Lorentz invariance which is implemented through a deformation of the canonical Poisson brackets of the theory depending on an infrared scale. The resulting theory is equivalent to a pure gauge theory with a Chern-Simons like term. It is shown that at low energies this theory can be identified with three dimensional QCD where the mass of the fermion is related to the infrared scale.

description: Die angehende Sozialarbeiterin Caroline Imfeld-Degelo befasst sich in dieser Bachelorarbeit mit der Frage, welche Bedürfnisse und Befürchtungen verschiedene Generationen im ländlichen Raum in Zusammenhang mit dem Mehrgenerationenwohnen anhand der ländlichen Gemeinde Giswil haben. Denn auf Grund des demografischen Wandels ergeben sich Herausforderungen, die gelöst werden müssen. Welche Befürchtungen und Ängste gibt es in verschiedenen Generationen in Bezug zum Mehrgenerationenwohnen im ländlichen Raum? Wie könnte das Zusammenwohnen der verschiedenen Generationen ausserhalb der Familie im ländlichen Raum aussehen? Wie könnte die Soziale Arbeit die Generationen in Bezug zum Wohnen im ländlichen Raum Giswil unter-stützen? Jugendliche/junge Erwachsene, Eltern mit Kindern und Personen 50+ wurden in je einer Gruppendiskussion mittels eines Leitfadeninterviews zu ihren Bedürfnissen, Befürchtungen und Ängsten in Zusammenhang mit dem Mehrgenerationenwohnen befragt. Dabei zeigte sich, dass alle Generationen das Bedürfnis nach einem sozialen Umfeld haben, das ihre Lebensqualität, Identität, körperliche und psychische Gesundheit fördert. Die aufgedeckten Stigmata sollten generationenübergreifend thematisiert werden, um gelingende sozi-ale Netzwerke zu fördern. Fachpersonen der Sozialen Arbeit haben in Zusammenhang mit dem demografischen Wandel eine generationenübergreifende Rolle. Sie vernetzten soziale Netzwerke in Bezug zum Mehr-generationenwohnen, welche die Gesellschaft entlasten, das Wohlbefinden der Bewohnerschaft und die Kohäsion in der Gesellschaft fördern. Bei der Umsetzung der Themen wenden Sozialarbeitende die partizipative Methode und Projektmethodik an.

description: We analyze the role played by quantum fluctuations on a Raman Spin-Orbit Coupled system in the stripe phase. We show that beyond mean-field effects stabilize the collapse predicted by mean-field theory and induce the emergence of two phases: a gas and a liquid, which also show spatial periodicity along a privileged direction. We show that the energetically favored phase is determined by the Raman coupling and the spin-dependent scattering lengths. We obtain the ground-state solution of the finite system by solving the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation and find self-bound, droplet-like solutions that feature internal structure through a striped pattern. We estimate the critical number for binding associated to these droplets and show that their value is experimentally accessible. We report an approximate energy functional in order to ease the evaluation of the Lee-Huang-Yang correction in practical terms.

description: Die Professionellen der Sozialen Arbeit, welche in Angeboten der Intensivbetreuung tätig sind, stehen in ihrem Arbeitsalltag häufig vor herausfordernden Situationen. Die Zielgruppe des Angebots, Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen und herausfordernden Verhaltensweisen, zeigen oft aggressives Verhalten. Dieses aggressive Verhalten richtet sich in vielen Fällen gegen die Professionellen der Sozialen Arbeit. Die Auseinandersetzung mit den Ursachen für aggressives Verhalten und den Auswirkungen auf Personen, welche Ziel davon werden, zeigt die Notwendigkeit für eine gründliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Thematik des aggressiven Verhaltens auf. Diese Notwendigkeit wird durch die gesetzliche Grundlage und der Sicht der Sozialen Arbeit unterstützt. Möglichkeiten für den professionellen Umgang mit aggressivem Verhalten gibt es viele. Die Massnahmen der Prävention, der Krisenintervention sowie der Nachbereitung bei aggressivem Verhalten dienen als sinnvolle Grundlage.

description: Saturn was observed by Chandra ACIS-S on 20 and 26-27 January 2004 for one full Saturn rotation (10.7 hr) at each epoch. We report here the first observation of an X-ray flare from Saturn's non-auroral (low-latitude) disk, which is seen in direct response to an M6-class flare emanating from a sunspot that was clearly visible from both Saturn and Earth. Saturn's disk X-ray emissions are found to be variable on time scales of hours to weeks to months, and correlated with solar F10.7 cm flux. Unlike Jupiter, X-rays from Saturn's polar (auroral) region have characteristics similar to those from its disk. This report, combined with earlier studies, establishes that disk X-ray emissions of the giant planets Saturn and Jupiter are directly regulated by processes happening on the Sun. We suggest that these emissions could be monitored to study X-ray flaring from solar active regions when they are on the far side and not visible to Near-Earth space weather satellites.

description: This study aims to know the role of the application of E-learning in developing students' Academic Motivation in light of a set of variables (Institute, Gender, University Stage). For this reason, the researcher relied on the descriptive approach for its suitability to the nature of the study, and the study sample consisted of 36 male and female students divided equally among some Institutes of Science and Technique of Physical and Sports Activities (Souk Ahras, Constantine, Tebessa), where they were randomly selected. The study data was collected using the questionnaire that the researcher built, which consists of 20 phrases, trying to find out the students' point of view on this topic, and to process the data he collected and in order to test the hypotheses, the Mann Whitney, Kruskal Wallis test was used. One of the most important results reached is that the role of the application of E-learning in the development of Academic Motivation is average, and that there are no statistically significant differences between students according to the variable of Gender, University Stage, and Institute

description: To better estimate which luminous efficiency ($τ$) value is compatible with contemporary values of the ionization coefficient ($β$), we report a series of simultaneous optical and specular echo radar measurements of low speed meteors. A total of 1249 simultaneous EMCCD and radar meteors were identified. A subset of 36 events were analyzed in detail, with 29 having speed less than 20 km/s. These meteors had G-band magnitudes at the specular radar point between +4 and +7.7, with an average radiant power of 5W (assuming a 945 W power for a zero magnitude meteor) and masses of 1 - 10 mg. These correspond to a typical magnitude of +6. We find that $β$ / $τ$ strongly correlates with radiant power. All our simultaneous meteors had asteroidal-like orbits and six were found to be probable iron meteoroids, representing 20 percent of our slow velocity sample. Luminous efficiency values averaged 0.6% at low speed, ranging from less than 0.1% to almost 30%. No trend of luminous efficiency with speed was apparent, though a weak correlation between higher values of luminous efficiency and radiant power may be present.

description: Low noise CCDs fully-depleted up to 675 micrometers have been identified as a unique tool for Dark Matter searches and low energy neutrino physics. The charge collection efficiency (CCE) for these detectors is a critical parameter for the performance of future experiments. We present here a new technique to characterize CCE in back-illuminated CCDs based on soft X-rays. This technique is used to characterize two different detector designs. The results demonstrate the importance of the backside processing for detection near threshold, showing that a recombination layer of a few microns significantly distorts the low energy spectrum. The studies demonstrate that the region of partial charge collection can be reduced to less than 1 micrometer thickness with adequate backside processing.

description: We develop a formalism for particle production in a field theory coupled to a strong time-dependent external source. An example of such a theory is the Color Glass Condensate. We derive a formula, in terms of cut vacuum-vacuum Feynman graphs, for the probability of producing a given number of particles. This formula is valid to all orders in the coupling constant. The distribution of multiplicities is non--Poissonian, even in the classical approximation. We investigate an alternative method of calculating the mean multiplicity. At leading order, the average multiplicity can be expressed in terms of retarded solutions of classical equations of motion. We demonstrate that the average multiplicity at {\it next-to-leading order} can be formulated as an initial value problem by solving equations of motion for small fluctuation fields with retarded boundary conditions. The variance of the distribution can be calculated in a similar fashion. Our formalism therefore provides a framework to compute from first principles particle production in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions beyond leading order in the coupling constant and to all orders in the source density. We also provide a transparent interpretation (in conventional field theory language) of the well known Abramovsky-Gribov-Kancheli (AGK) cancellations. Explicit connections are made between the framework for multi-particle production developed here and the framework of Reggeon field theory.

Leistungsdruck als Ursache von Stress in der Schule bei Oberstufenschüler*innen: Interventionsmöglichkeiten der Schulsozialarbeit
Creators: name: Kärcher, Nicole

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: Leistungsdruck gilt gemäss Studien als eine der Hauptursachen von Stress in der Schule bei Oberstufenschüler*innen. Stress durch Leistungsdruck kann bei Oberstufenschüler*innen zu gesundheitlichen Folgen wie beispielsweise Depression, Ess- und Angststörungen oder Drogenkonsum führen. Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Rolle von Leistungsdruck und untersucht in diesem Zusammenhang soziale und personale Einflussfaktoren, die den Leistungsdruck bei Oberstufenschüler*innen verstärken oder vermindern können. Dazu zählen beispielsweise die Leistungsgesellschaft, der Einfluss der Eltern, das Klassenklima sowie die personalen Ressourcen der Jugendlichen. Anhand der transaktionalen Stresstheorie von Richard S. Lazarus, dem Salutogenese-Modell von Aaron Antonovsky und dem Resilienzkonzept wird theoretisch Bezug genommen und aufgezeigt, wie Stress entsteht und wie er bewältigt werden kann. Die Schulsozialarbeit kann im schulischen Kontext Einfluss nehmen, indem sie die Resilienz von Oberstufenschüler*innen über die Aktivierung personaler oder sozialer Ressourcen, die als Schutzfaktoren gelten, stärkt. Erlebnispädagogik, Bewegung, Klassen-/Schülerrat, das Stressprävention- bzw. Stressbewältigungsprogramm SNAKE und die lösungsorientierte Beratung sind mögliche Wege, mittels deren auf Leistungsdruck eingewirkt und so der Entstehung von Stress vorgebeugt werden kann. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Schulsozialarbeiter*innen anhand von den genannten Interventionsmöglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, wie sie Oberstufenschüler*innen im Umgang mit Leistungsdruck oder bereits bestehendem Stress unterstützen könnten. Als Grundlage dazu dient die systemische Präventionstheorie.

It is shown both analytically and experimentally that the strength density (i.e. the weighted node degree) for this model, called derivative complex networks, follows a power law with exponent $γ<1$ if the fitness has an upper limit and $γ>1$ if the fitness has no upper limit but a positive lower limit. Possible implications for neuronal networks topology and dynamics are also discussed.

We identify the main sources of differences between MiNNLO$_{\rm PS}$ and fixed-order NNLO predictions for inclusive observables due to corrections beyond NNLO accuracy and present simple prescriptions to either reduce or remove them. Refined predictions are presented for Higgs, charged- and neutral-current Drell Yan production. The agreement with fixed-order NNLO calculations is considerably improved for inclusive observables and scale uncertainties are reduced. The codes are released within the POWHEG-BOX.

New analyticity constraints on the high energy behavior of hadron-hadron cross sections

description: We here comment on a series of recent papers by Igi and Ishida[K. Igi and M. Ishida, Phys. Lett B 622, 286 (2005)] and Block and Halzen[M. M. Block and F. Halzen, Phys. Rev D 72, 036006 (2005)] that fit high energy $pp$ and $\bar pp$ cross section and $ρ$-value data, where $ρ$ is the ratio of the real to the imaginary portion of the forward scattering amplitude. These authors used Finite Energy Sum Rules and analyticity consistency conditions, respectively, to constrain the asymptotic behavior of hadron cross sections by anchoring their high energy asymptotic amplitudes--even under crossing--to low energy experimental data. Using analyticity, we here show that i) the two apparently very different approaches are in fact equivalent, ii) that these analyticity constraints can be extended to give new constraints, and iii) that these constraints can be extended to crossing odd amplitudes. We also apply these extensions to photoproduction. A new interpretation of duality is given.

description: For the first two decades after the end of the authoritarian New Order regime, Indonesian civil society was widely hailed as a bulwark against elite attempts to roll back the country's democratic achievements. More recent assessments, however, have highlighted how polarisation, socio-religious conservatism and growing state repression have increasingly restricted civil society's ability to defend Indonesian democracy against further backsliding. In the face of these growing pressures, political activists have nonetheless demonstrated adaptability, resourcefulness and resilience, and, despite the narrowing space for dissent and protest, occasionally succeeded in halting and even reversing anti-democratic trends. In this article, we focus on two segments of civil society – women's rights groups and environmental activists – to illustrate under what circumstances progressive political activism in contemporary Indonesia can still be effective in upholding diagonal accountability and defending human rights.

description: We theoretically investigate the optical response in a hybrid quantum optomechanical system consisting of two optically coupled micro-cavities in which a two-level system (qubit) is embedded on a movable membrane. The qubit can either be a defect which interacts with the mechanical oscillator via the linear Jaynes-Cummings interaction or a superconducting charge qubit coupled with the mechanical mode via nonlinear interaction. We find that coherent perfect transmission (CPT), coherent perfect synthesis (CPS) and optomechanically induced absorption (OMIA) can be generated by suitably adjusting the system parameters. We find that the qubit and its interaction with the mechanical oscillator emerges as a new handle to control these quantum optical properties. The presence of the qubit results in four points where CPT and CPS can be realized compared to the pure optomechanical case (i.e. in the absence of qubit) where only three points are attained. This shows that the presence of the qubit gives us more flexibility in choosing the appropriate parameter regime where CPT and CPS can be attained and controlled. We also find that OMIA shows three distinct peaks both in the linear and nonlinear cases. In the absence of the qubit, OMIA is converted to optomechanically induced transmission (OMIT). An increase in in the qubit decay rate also shows a transition from OMIA to OMIT. Our study reveals that the optical response of the nonlinear case is relatively rapid (more sensitive) compared to the linear case to changes in the system parameters. This demonstrates the potential use of this hybrid system in designing tunable all-optical-switch and photon-router both of which forms an important element of a quantum information network.

description: We report an observation of a stable soliton-like structure on the surface of a ferrofluid, generated by a local perturbation in the hysteretic regime of the Rosensweig instability. Unlike other pattern-forming systems with localized 2D structures, magnetic fluids are characterized by energy conservation; hence their mechanism of soliton stabilization is different from the previously discussed gain/loss balance mechanism. The radioscopic measurements of the soliton's surface profile suggest that locking on the underlying periodic structure is instrumental in its stabilization.

description: The mobility of charge carriers in a semiconductor nanowire is explored as a function of increasing radius, assuming low temperatures where impurity scattering dominates. The competition between increased cross-section and the concurrent increase in available scattering channels causes strongly non-monotonic dependence of the mobility on the radius. The inter-band scattering causes sharp declines in the mobility at the wire radii at which each new channel becomes available. At intermediate radii with the number of channels unchanged the mobility is seen to maintain an exponential growth even with multiple channels. We also compare the effects of changing the radial scaling of the impurity distribution. We use transverse carrier wavefunctions that are consistent with boundary conditions and demonstrate that the $δ$-function approximate transverse profile leads to errors in the case of remote impurities.

description: The analysis of global catastrophic events often occurs in isolation, simplifying their study. In reality, risks cascade and interact. Therefore, it is essential to consider the interconnected nature of global risks. This investigation explores the interplay between nuclear winter and planetary boundaries. It may seem reasonable to assume that respecting planetary boundaries,  which define a safe operating space for the planet, is preferable  before a nuclear war. However, that does not always seem to be the case. For instance, increased nitrogen emissions today could serve as a nutrient buffer during nuclear winter. Contrastingly, mitigating climate change, means an even larger temperature drop in nuclear winter in comparison with pre-industrial times. This exploratory study also highlights planetary boundaries that could enhance human survival if we adhere to their limits, both presently and after a nuclear war. The best example being biosphere integrity, as conserving it has no direct downsides and would make the Earth system more resilient to resist the shock of a nuclear winter.

description: The photoexcited state in superconducting metals and alloys was studied via pump-probe spectroscopy. A pulsed Ti:sapphire laser was used to create the non-equilibrium state and the far-infrared pulses of a synchrotron storage ring, to which the laser is synchronized, measured the changes in the material optical properties. Both the time- and frequency- dependent photoinduced spectra of Pb, Nb, NbN, Nb{0.5}Ti{0.5}N, and Pb{0.75}Bi{0.25} superconducting thin films were measured in the low-fluence regime. The time dependent data establish the regions where the relaxation rate is dominated either by the phonon escape time (phonon bottleneck effect) or by the intrinsic quasiparticle recombination time. The photoinduced spectra measure directly the reduction of the superconducting gap due to an excess number of quasiparticles created by the short laser pulses. This gap shift allows us to establish the temperature range over which the low fluence approximation is valid.

description: This event had the theme ‘As local as necessary, as international as possible’. It focussed on strengthening the Japanese persistent identifier (PID) community and fostering linkages between Japan PID infrastructure and the wider community in the Asia–Pacific (APAC) region and globally.

The agenda provided an orientation of PIDs and related services, as well as insights about ORCID and DataCite in the APAC region and the activities of our Consortia. Participants learnt about use cases of PID implementation in research workflows in Japan (and APAC), and how implementation has aligned with organizational goals: showcasing success stories and challenges.

Bringing people together for stimulating conversations around points of interest to the community that are not possible virtually, the event was an opportunity to meet others with an interest in the adoption of PIDs and Open Science principles.

This event was co-hosted by ORCID and DataCite alongside the Academic eXchange for Information Environment and Strategy and the Japan Link Center, who respectively lead ORCID’s and DataCite’s Consortia in Japan. It was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency. The event was co-located with the International Symposium on Data Science 2023 held on 11–15 December 2023 at the Science Council of Japan in Tokyo.

description: Automatic kinship verification aims to determine whether some individuals belong to the same family. It is of great research significance to help missing persons reunite with their families. In this work, the challenging problem is progressively addressed in two respects. First, we propose a deep siamese network to quantify the relative similarity between two individuals. When given two input face images, the deep siamese network extracts the features from them and fuses these features by combining and concatenating. Then, the fused features are fed into a fully-connected network to obtain the similarity score between two faces, which is used to verify the kinship. To improve the performance, a jury system is also employed for multi-model fusion. Second, two deep siamese networks are integrated into a deep triplet network for tri-subject (i.e., father, mother and child) kinship verification, which is intended to decide whether a child is related to a pair of parents or not. Specifically, the obtained similarity scores of father-child and mother-child are weighted to generate the parent-child similarity score for kinship verification. Recognizing Families In the Wild (RFIW) is a challenging kinship recognition task with multiple tracks, which is based on Families in the Wild (FIW), a large-scale and comprehensive image database for automatic kinship recognition. The Kinship Verification (track I) and Tri-Subject Verification (track II) are supported during the ongoing RFIW2020 Challenge. Our team (ustc-nelslip) ranked 1st in track II, and 3rd in track I.

description: We develop a model of the impact of food quality management systems (QMS) on competitiveness and markets. QMS seek to control the quality of a product as determined by the array of individual attributes it possesses. To date only a few studies have attempted to better understand the effect of the introduction of quality management systems. No model has been introduced which captures the interactions within the supply chain and at the interface with consumers when these systems are introduced.

description: This paper develops an option value model to examine the extent to which output price uncertainty creates incentives to adopt two interrelated components of site-specific technologies sequentially. It analyzes how the impact of uncertainty on the sequential adoption decision differs across heterogeneous soil conditions, and examines the implications of adoption for nitrogen pollution generation and for the design of a cost-share subsidy policy.
