UNESCO Education Database : Foreign Students Statistics, 1980-1994
UNESCO Education Database, 1960-1995
Creators: name: UNESCO
Publisher: name: UK Data Service

description: UNESCO is a major collector and disseminator of statistical data on education and related subjects. Its statistical activities are aimed at providing relevant, reliable and current information for development and policy-making purposes, both at the national and international levels, and the production of reliable statistical indicators for education. These indicators cover four main areas: educational population; access and participation; the efficiency and effectiveness of education; human and financial resources.

The UNESCO Education Database covers a wide range of these areas, at four main educational levels: pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary, in accordance with the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) system. This system provides standard definitions for each of the four levels of education examined. UNESCO collects and collates education data according to these definitions from approximately 200 countries, and compiles them into the Education Database time series, which is published annually.

 The Foreign Students Statistics form part of the main UNESCO Education Database, but are collected separately, from a smaller number of participating countries, resulting in some structural differences.

UNESCO define a `foreign student' as `a person enrolled at an institution of tertiary education in a country of which he/she is not a permanent resident'. The student's country of origin is defined as `the country in which the student is permanently resident (home country)'. However, most member states included in the dataset have established their statistics on the basis of the student's original nationality rather than permanency of residence in the host country. UNESCO have noted some concerns about the quality of the data where these criteria differ, and this should be taken into consideration when data are examined.

description: In engineering applications almost all processes are described with the help of models. Especially forming machines heavily rely on mathematical models for control and condition monitoring. Inaccuracies during the modeling, manufacturing and assembly of these machines induce model uncertainty which impairs the controller's performance. In this paper we propose an approach to identify model uncertainty using parameter identification, optimal design of experiments and hypothesis testing. The experimental setup is characterized by optimal sensor positions such that specific model parameters can be determined with minimal variance. This allows for the computation of confidence regions in which the real parameters or the parameter estimates from different test sets have to lie. We claim that inconsistencies in the estimated parameter values, considering their approximated confidence ellipsoids as well, cannot be explained by data uncertainty but are indicators of model uncertainty. The proposed method is demonstrated using a component of the 3D Servo Press, a multi-technology forming machine that combines spindles with eccentric servo drives.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Die vorliegende Masterthesis untersucht den Umgang von Notübernachtungsstellen der Wohnungslosenhilfe mit den Bedarfen von wohnungslosen trans* Menschen. Dazu wurden Fachkräfte der Notübernachtungsstellen mittels qualitativer leitfadengestützter Expert*inneninterviews zu ihren Erfahrungen befragt. Die Auswertung der acht Interviews erfolgte anhand der inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse angelehnt an Kuckartz und Rädiker (2022b). Ziel der Studie ist es, herauszufinden, welche Erfahrungen Fachkräfte mit der Aufnahme und Unterbringung von trans* Menschen haben, welche Herausforderungen, aber auch bewährte Strategien sie beschreiben und wie sie die Situation der Wohnungslosigkeit und der Hilfesysteme für trans* Menschen wahrnehmen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie deuten darauf hin, dass die (für Männer und Frauen) geschlechtergetrennten Unterbringungsformen der Notübernachtungsstellen und die Konzeption von frauenspezifischen Unterkünften oder Bereichen als Schutzräume eine Herausforderung für die Schlafplatzvergabe an trans* Menschen darstellen. Die unterschiedlichen Aufnahmestrategien verschiedener Notunterkünfte sowie transfeindliche Diskriminierungen, Intoleranz und Gewalt durch Mitbewohner*innen oder das Personal werden als enorm belastend für trans* Personen eingeschätzt. Die professionelle Unterstützung durch Fachkräfte wird durch geringes spezifisches Fachwissen, mangelnde Ressourcen und fehlende Vernetzung der Notübernachtungsstellen sowie strukturelle Herausforderungen auf politischer Ebene erschwert.

description: In tropical forests, Hoya, a plant with significant indigenous medicinal applications, has been underexplored in pharmacological studies. This systematic review meticulously investigates the diverse pharmacological effects exhibited by various Hoya species on human health. A comprehensive literature search, encompassing Scopus, ScienceDirect, and SpringerLink databases, employed specific keyword combinations (‘Hoya’ and ‘pharmacological properties’ OR ‘pharmacology property’). The included studies exclusively focused on Hoya’s impact on human health. The findings underscore Hoya’s potential as a medicinal plant, demonstrating promising attributes such as anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antinociceptive, and parasympatholytic effects. Despite these promising indications, the review underscores the necessity for further in vivo investigations to fully unlock Hoya’s therapeutic potential. A comprehensive understanding of its mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety in living systems is imperative for realising its holistic therapeutic benefits.

description: Recent deep learning models outperform standard lossy image compression codecs. However, applying these models on a patch-by-patch basis requires that each image patch be encoded and decoded independently. The influence from adjacent patches is therefore lost, leading to block artefacts at low bitrates. We propose the Binary Inpainting Network (BINet), an autoencoder framework which incorporates binary inpainting to reinstate interdependencies between adjacent patches, for improved patch-based compression of still images. When decoding a patch, BINet additionally uses the binarised encodings from surrounding patches to guide its reconstruction. In contrast to sequential inpainting methods where patches are decoded based on previons reconstructions, BINet operates directly on the binary codes of surrounding patches without access to the original or reconstructed image data. Encoding and decoding can therefore be performed in parallel. We demonstrate that BINet improves the compression quality of a competitive deep image codec across a range of compression levels.

description: A method is described to model the magnetic field in the vicinity of constellations of multiple satellites using field and plasma current measurements. This quadratic model has the properties that the divergence is zero everywhere and matches the measured values of the magnetic field and its curl (current) at each spacecraft, and thus extends the linear curlometer method to second order. It is able to predict the topology of the field lines near magnetic structures, such as near reconnecting regions or flux ropes, and allows a tracking of the motion of these structures relative to the spacecraft constellation. Comparisons to PIC simulations estimate the model accuracy. Reconstruction of two electron diffusion regions show the expected field line structure. The model can be applied to other small-scale phenomena (bow shock, waves of commensurate wavelength), and can be modified to reconstruct also the electric field, allowing tracing of particle trajectories.

description: The study examines the contribution of education on regional technology adoption and aggregate crop output. The results indicate that education has a positive effect on the adoption of irrigation, biological (MV) and chemical fertilizer technology. Infrastructural facilities (road) has significant positive impact on MV adoption. Higher the road availability per hectare of cropped area, higher the adoption of MV. The study reveals that to increase the technology adoption level as well as its utilization to the fullest extent, we need to expand agricultural knowledge oriented education system in the rural areas of Bangladesh.

description: The study was undertaken with a view to finding the technical change in agriculture and factor demand status of the rice crop of Bangladesh. The production technology of the farmers was represented by the translogarithmic cost function. The data were collected from secondary sources. The findings revealed that there was a complementary relationship between the human labor and bullock labor, bullock labor and fertilizer, seeds and fertilizer, seeds and irrigation and fertilizer and irrigation. However, substitutory relationship was observed between human labor and irrigation, human labor and seeds, human labor and fertilizer, bullock labor and seeds and bullock labor and irrigation. The own and cross price elasticities of factor demand were all inelastic indicating that farmers response to changes in the price of inputs were small in magnitude. Rice production technology of Bangladesh appeared to be both labor and capital intensive. This situation may be treated as a transition to the modernization of agriculture.

description: We have made a sensitive search for the origin bands in the known electronic transitions of the linear carbon chains C_4 and C_5 at 3789 and 5109 A towards zeta Oph (A_V <= 1). The incentive was a recent detection of C_3 in this interstellar cloud with a column density of 1.6 x 10^12 cm^-2 plus the availability of laboratory gas phase spectra of C_4 and C_5. Further, some models of diffuse interstellar clouds predict that the abundance of these latter species should be within an order of magnitude of C_3. Despite achieving S/N of 2300 to 2600 per pixel at a resolution of ~110,000, the searches were negative, leading to 3 sigma upper limits to the column density of N(C_5) = 2 x 10^11 cm^-2 and N(C_4) = 4 x 10^12-13 cm^-2 where these values rely on theoretically calculated oscillator strengths. The implication of these limits are discussed on the choice of molecules for study in future attempts to identify the carriers of the stronger diffuse interstellar bands.

description: A study of changing cropping pattern for a period is important to understand the shifting nature of the composition of crops in the crop sector and the economic and non-economic factors that cause the cropping pattern change. Over the last quarter of a century of post-Bangladesh years, cropping patterns tilted towards MV variety of crops both in Kharif and Rabi season. Crop diversification has been taking place in the Rabi season. Growths of HYV Aus and wheat areas have been diminishing since the decade of the eighties. Local varieties of rices have been declining and got negative cropping pattern changes including jute, barley, mustard and chilli throughout the whole period of 1971/72-1993/94. It was observed that real output price change and cropping pattern changes had little relationship. Improved technology of production (seed-fertilizer technology) had rather influenced cropping pattern changes. Researches on varietal improvement and production technology should get priority to enhance higher returns from favourable cropping pattern changes and crop mix.

We show that with a little modifications, the analysis given by Seiberg can be used directly to the case of massless flavors. Furthermore, this new method explains the insertion of delta functions in the matrix model given by Demasure and Janik in hep-th/0211082.

description: We analyze seven NICER and NuSTAR epochs of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 in the hard state during its two most recent hard-only outbursts in 2017 and 2019. These observations cover the 1-100 keV unabsorbed luminosities between 0.3% and 2.1% of the Eddington limit. With NICER's negligible pile-up, high count rate and unprecedented time resolution, we perform a spectral-timing analysis and spectral modeling using relativistic and distant reflection models. Our spectral fitting shows that as the inner disk radius moves inwards, the thermal disk emission increases in flux and temperature, the disk becomes more highly ionized and the reflection fraction increases. This coincides with the inner disk increasing its radiative efficiency around ~1% Eddington. We see a hint of hysteresis effect at ~0.3% of Eddington: the inner radius is significantly truncated during the rise ($>49R_{g}$), while only a mild truncation ($\sim5R_g$) is found during the decay. At higher frequencies ($2-7$~Hz) in the highest luminosity epoch, a soft lag is present, whose energy dependence reveals a thermal reverberation lag, with an amplitude similar to previous findings for this source. We also discuss the plausibility of the hysteresis effect and the debate of the disk truncation problem in the hard state.

title: Methane’s solar radiative forcing
Creators: name: Byrom, Rachael Emily
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2023

description: Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global-mean surface mixing ratio that has more than doubled in the past century. Its ability to alter thermal infrared irradiances has been well studied. CH4 also absorbs incoming shortwave (SW) radiation, predominantly at near-infrared wavelengths (0.7 – 4 µm). However, this effect is not included in many climate models, or in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5 th assessment estimate of CH4 radiative forcing (RF). Recent studies indicate that this SW effect enhances total CH4 RF and related emission metrics, but estimates are sensitive to the specification of clouds and spectral overlap with water vapour. These studies did not examine the impact of CH4 SW forcing on the spatial or seasonal variation of CH4 stratospheric temperature-adjusted RF, nor did they quantify in detail the sensitivity of the SW effect to surface albedo or vertical profile specification. This thesis provides the most comprehensive quantification of the CH4 SW effect to date using a narrow-band radiative transfer model. It investigates key sensitivities, including vertical profile representation, spectrally-resolved surface albedo specification and the effect of SW absorption at mid-infrared wavelengths between 5 – 10 µm. Recent satellite measurements are exploited to derive a best estimate of CH4 global-mean SW forcing and its impact on total CH4 forcing from seasonally and spatially-resolved calculations, including the impact of SW absorption on CH4 longwave forcing via stratospheric temperature change. All-sky CH4 SW tropopause instantaneous RF is found to be significantly smaller than previous estimates at 0.002 W m-2 with an uncertainty of ±25%. This is caused by a combination of factors which alter the magnitude of the downward and upward SW tropopause forcing components. In total, the CH4 SW radiative effect is found to enhance the CH4 longwave-only RF by 7% from 0.574 W m-2 to 0.613 W m-2 .

description: Plants contain many bioactive compounds with potent antibacterial and efflux pump inhibitory activity (EPI). In this study, gallic acid extracted from pomegranate molasses by analytical HPLC holds promise as an EPI drug for Staphylococcus aureus mediated tetracycline resistance, it lowered the bacterial resistance and reversed the mechanism via tet family efflux pump, using molecular technique and in-silico molecular docking analysis. Extracted gallic acid combined with tetracycline demonstrated a significant decrease in the minimal inhibitory concentration MIC compared to its single activity. Similarly, little growth and lower fluorescence of S. aureus were observed on ethidium bromide (2.5 mg/mL) agar plates, indicating a reversible efflux pump mechanism and a potent EPI activity. Molecular docking demonstrated a promising affinity binding energy between gallic acid and tet efflux genes, opening a new baseline in bacterial infection treatment. PCR for tetK and Qac A/B genes failed to show any relation between tet genes and gallic acid.

description: The study estimates the supply response of cotton crops at regional level in Punjab. To analyse the supply response, three acreage response models were developed separately on the basis of Nerlovian lagged adjustment model. A fast increase in area under cotton American in South- western region took place mainly due to the forces of substantial increase in the price, yield and in turn value productivity per hectare of this crop as compared to its competing crops. Cotton American occupied very small percentage of gross cropped area of the central region and therefore does not occupy an important place in the cropping pattern of the region. Due to this fact the farmers in central region have not responded significantly to various price and yield factors.
Quantum-Zeno Fermi polaron in the strong dissipation limit

description: The interplay between measurement and quantum correlations in many-body systems can lead to novel types of collective phenomena which are not accessible in isolated systems. In this work, we merge the Zeno-paradigm of quantum measurement theory with the concept of polarons in condensed-matter physics. The resulting quantum-Zeno Fermi-polaron is a quasi-particle which emerges for lossy impurities interacting with a quantum-degenerate bath of fermions. For loss rates of the order of the impurity-fermion binding energy the quasi-particle is short lived. However, we show that in the strongly dissipative regime of large loss rates a long-lived polaron branch re-emerges. This quantum-Zeno Fermi-polaron originates from the nontrivial interplay between the Fermi-surface and the surface of the momentum region forbidden by the quantum Zeno projection. The situation we consider here is realized naturally for polaritonic impurities in charge-tuneable semiconductors and can be also implemented using dressed atomic states in ultracold gases.

Extended discrete KP hierarchy and its reductions from a geometric viewpoint

description: We interpret the recently suggested extended discrete KP (Toda lattice) hierarchy from a geometrical point of view. We show that the latter corresponds to the union of invariant submanifolds $S_0^n$ of the system which is a chain of infinitely many copies of Darboux-KP hierarchy, while the intersections $S_0^n\cap S_{l-1}^{ln-r}$ yields a number of reductions to $l$-field lattices.

description: The purpose of this study was (i) to determine the selected characteristics of the potato farmers, (ii) to determine the adoption level of improved practices by the farmers in potato cultivation and (iii) to explore the relationships between the selected characteristics of the potato farmers with their adoption of improved practices. Out of 500 potato farmers, which consituted the population, 100 of them were selected following random sampling method. Data were collected from the farmers by interview schedule. Findings revealed that majority of the potato growers (63 percent) had moderate level of adoption, 32 percent low and only 5 percent had high adoption. The correlation analysis indicated that farm size, potato farm area, extension contact and attitude towards improved practices were significantly related with the adoption of improved practices of potato. However, farmers age, education and organizational participation were not related with adoption.
