Right to education

description: Over the last decade, most educational indicators have shown positive trends in Bangladesh. Despite the progress, the education system in Bangladesh is still failing its adolescent girls. Many of these girls come from impoverished backgrounds, and thus reaching secondary schools presents a myriad of challenges for them. Their educational trajectories are frequently interrupted by child marriage, corruption, abuse, and neglect. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Human Rights Education (HRE) is central to defining the content and method of the education that women/girls need to function effectively in modern Bangladesh society. The theoretical framework focuses on transformative agency, the empowerment process (social and economic), and the concept of capabilities. The study examines the links between human rights education and transformation by focusing on the long-term effects on young girls who participated in non-formal education programs in Bangladesh. The literature review explores key concepts of HRE, critical pedagogy, and the capabilities approach. The study then makes an assessment of Bangladesh’s record in implementing the right to education in light of the commitments made by the State. The article concludes by offering a set of recommendations for the government of Bangladesh to integrate human rights education as part of the formal school curriculum.

Coherent spin transport through helical edge states of topological insulator

description: We study coherent spin transport through helical edge states of topological insulator tunnel-coupled to metallic leads. We demonstrate that unpolarized incoming electron beam acquires finite polarization after transmission through such a setup provided that edges contain at least one magnetic impurity. The finite polarization appears even in the fully classical regime and is therefore robust to dephasing. There is also a quantum magnetic field-tunable contribution to the polarization, which shows sharp identical Aharonov-Bohm resonances as a function of magnetic flux - with the period $hc/2e$ - and survives at relatively high temperature. We demonstrate that this tunneling interferometer can be described in terms of ensemble of flux-tunable qubits giving equal contributions to conductance and spin polarization. The number of active qubits participating in the charge and spin transport is given by the ratio of the temperature and the level spacing. The interferometer can effectively operate at high temperature and can be used for quantum calculations. In particular, the ensemble of qubits can be described by a single Hadamard operator. The obtained results open wide avenue for applications in the area of quantum computing.

Coherent Charge Transport in Metallic Proximity Structures

description: We develop a detailed microscopic analysis of electron transport in normal diffusive conductors in the presence of proximity induced superconducting correlation. We calculated the linear conductance of the system, the profile of the electric field and the densities of states. In the case of transparent metallic boundaries the temperature dependent conductance has a non-monotoneous ``reentrant'' structure. We argue that this behavior is due to nonequilibrium effects occuring in the normal metal in the presence of both superconducting correlations and the electric field there. Low transparent tunnel barriers suppress the nonequilibrium effects and destroy the reentrant behavior of the conductance. If the wire contains a loop, the conductance shows Aharonov-Bohm oscillations with the period $Φ_0=h/2e$ as a function of the magnetic flux $Φ$ inside the loop. The amplitude of these oscillations also demonstrates the reentrant behavior vanishing at $T=0$ and decaying as $1/T$ at relatively large temperatures. The latter behavior is due to low energy correlated electrons which penetrate deep into the normal metal and ``feel'' the effect of the magnetic flux $Φ$. We point out that the density of states and thus the ``strengh'' of the proximity effect can be tuned by the value of the flux inside the loop. Our results are fully consistent with recent experimental findings.

Human Rights in Humanitarian Policy: Dissecting the Catalysts and Barriers to Employing a Human Rights-Based Approach in Drafting Menstrual Health into the Sphere 2018 Handbook

Menstruation

description: This research uses the concepts of human rights and rights-based humanitarianism to explore the catalysts and barriers to the provision of comprehensive guidance on menstrual hygiene management (MHM) in the 2018 edition of The Sphere Handbook: Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response (the Handbook). Sphere’s placement, for the first time, of MHM in its own section as a sub-standard of hygiene promotion, and the insight it lends on the circumstances, contexts and social dynamics in which menstruation is considered in emergencies worldwide, present the text as a strong case study for understanding contemporary facilitators and hurdles surrounding MHM interventions. After spending decades entrapped in cycles of stigma and low prioritization across the globe, more comprehensive approaches to MHM have gained attention in key humanitarian and public forums. This trend is reflected in the steps Sphere’s MHM section takes to consider menstruation beyond the purview of hygiene products and facilities. Yet oversights on considerations for intersectionality and marginalized groups, among others, present initial indications that historical barriers to comprehensive MHM response have reshaped themselves amidst improving gender diversity and menstrual literacy in Sphere Handbook drafting teams and the broader humanitarian field. Therefore, this research uses analyses of the published draft versions of the 2018 Handbook and interviews with the drafting team behind the MHM section to ascertain: What were the catalysts and barriers to employing a human rights-based approach to integrating menstrual health into the Sphere 2018 Handbook? Human rights and rights-based humanitarianism offer measures for evaluating the degree to which beneficiaries, their voices, and rights were placed at the center of the different published drafts of the 2018 Handbook, while interviews illuminate the MHM section drafters’ reasoning in deciding which elements of MHM to include and omit in said drafts. Findings re-affirmed the persistence of traditional barriers at certain levels of the broader field and the influence this has on Sphere drafting processes. They also shed light on the power harnessed by true personal understanding and prioritization of menstruation amongst all levels of humanitarian stakeholders, and particularly by those in key decision-making positions.

description: Over the last dozen of years, the area of accelerating waves has made considerable advances not only in terms of fundamentals and experimental demonstrations but also in connection to a wide range of applications. Starting from the prototypical Airy beam that was proposed and observed in 2007, new families of accelerating waves have been identified in the paraxial and nonparaxial domains in space and/or time, with different methods developed to control at will their trajectory, amplitude, and beam width. Accelerating optical waves exhibit a number of highly desirable attributes. They move along a curved or accelerating trajectory while being resilient to perturbations (self-healing), and, are diffraction-free. It is because of these particular features that accelerating waves have been utilized in a variety of applications in the areas of filamentation, beam focusing, particle manipulation, biomedical imaging, plasmons, and material processing among others.

description: We investigate the vorticity-preserving properties of the compressible, second-order residual-based scheme, "RBV2". The scheme has been extensively tested on hydrodynamical problems, and has been shown to exhibit remarkably accurate results on the propagation of inviscid compressible vortices, airfoil-vortex interactions on a curvilinear mesh, vortex mergers in an astrophysical accretion disk, and the establishment of a two-dimensional inverse cascade in high-resolution turbulent simulations. Here, we demonstrate that RBV2 sustains the analytic solution for a one-dimensional shear flow. We assess the fidelity by which the algorithm maintains a skewed shear flow, and present convergence tests to quantify the magnitude of the expected numerical dispersion. We propose an adjustment to the dissipation in the algorithm that retains the vorticity-preserving qualities, and accurately incorporates external body forces, and demonstrate that it indefinitely maintains a steady-state hydrostatic equilibrium between a generic acceleration and a density gradient. We present a novel numerical assessment of vorticity preservation for discrete-wavenumber vortical modes up to the Nyquist wavenumber. We apply this assessment to RBV2 in order to quantify the extent to which the scheme preserves vorticity for the full Euler equations. We find that RBV2 perfectly preserves vorticity for modes with symmetric wavenumbers, i.e., $k_x=k_y$, and that the error increases with asymmetry. We simulate the dynamical interaction of vortices in a protoplanetary disk to demonstrate the utility of the updated scheme for rendering astrophysical flows replete with vortices and turbulence. We conclude that RBV2 is a competitive treatment for evolving vorticity-dominated astrophysical flows with minimal dissipation.

description: We present an analytical calculation of periodic orbits in the homogeneous quartic oscillator potential. Exploiting the properties of the periodic Lam{é} functions that describe the orbits bifurcated from the fundamental linear orbit in the vicinity of the bifurcation points, we use perturbation theory to obtain their evolution away from the bifurcation points. As an application, we derive an analytical semiclassical trace formula for the density of states in the separable case, using a uniform approximation for the pitchfork bifurcations occurring there, which allows for full semiclassical quantization. For the non-integrable situations, we show that the uniform contribution of the bifurcating period-one orbits to the coarse-grained density of states competes with that of the shortest isolated orbits, but decreases with increasing chaoticity parameter $α$.

description: At the US-Mexico border, migrants have been fleeing a world of increasing violence, only to arrive at another one. Art-activism addresses the human rights of migrants against the growing tide of public hostility to the protection of Central American refugees and asylum seekers. This study involved interviews with eleven visual, media, and performance artists over a two-month period, in order to answer the question: How does art activism on the US-Mexico border contribute to the field of human rights? The findings are broken up into four chapters: 1. How art promotes human rights 2. Art as a critique to human rights 3. Problems with art as a tool of human rights 4. Art as it grows human rights. Despite the fact that art as a tool of human rights has its limitations, art activists play a central role in articulating and amplifying the stories of rightsholders and thus impacting public consciousness. An emerging segment of human rights literature has critiqued the field for becoming increasingly obsolete in the context of shifting paradigms and power structures. While the human rights movement has been held as a beacon, it was not born in a power vacuum and was in fact, largely shaped by cold war tensions and the Western desire for “democracy promotion” abroad. If human rights are to remain relevant in the 21st century, the field itself must find room for growth – both ideological and structural. As such, this study looks through art activism as one avenue in which the field may be able to do just that.
Degenerate Quantum LDPC Codes With Good Finite Length Performance

description: We study the performance of medium-length quantum LDPC (QLDPC) codes in the depolarizing channel. Only degenerate codes with the maximal stabilizer weight much smaller than their minimum distance are considered. It is shown that with the help of OSD-like post-processing the performance of the standard belief propagation (BP) decoder on many QLDPC codes can be improved by several orders of magnitude. Using this new BP-OSD decoder we study the performance of several known classes of degenerate QLDPC codes including hypergraph product codes, hyperbicycle codes, homological product codes, and Haah's cubic codes. We also construct several interesting examples of short generalized bicycle codes. Some of them have an additional property that their syndromes are protected by small BCH codes, which may be useful for the fault-tolerant syndrome measurement. We also propose a new large family of QLDPC codes that contains the class of hypergraph product codes, where one of the used parity-check matrices is square. It is shown that in some cases such codes have better performance than hypergraph product codes. Finally, we demonstrate that the performance of the proposed BP-OSD decoder for some of the constructed codes is better than for a relatively large surface code decoded by a near-optimal decoder.

description: Wik people on Cape York Peninsula, Queensland, aspire to economic independence. Commercial processing of native forest timbers is seen by Wik people as a culturally appropriate engine for economic development; however, much uncertainty surrounds their property rights to native forest timber. The granting of native title over some traditional Wik land in 2000 and 2004 was seen as a coup by Wik people, but some economists have argued that the inalienable and communal nature of native title is an obstacle to development in indigenous communities. An assessment of Wik property rights to timber resources reveals that a commercial forestry industry is consistent with their rights. In comparison with social and cultural factors, the inalienable and communal characteristics of native title are second-order development constraints for Wik people.
Existence and Stability of Propagating Fronts for an Autocatalytic Reaction-Diffusion System

description: We study a one-dimensional reaction-diffusion system which describes an isothermal autocatalytic chemical reaction involving both a quadratic (A + B -> 2B) and a cubic (A + 2B -> 3B) autocatalysis. The parameters of this system are the ratio D = D_B/D_A of the diffusion constants of the reactant A and the autocatalyst B, and the relative activity k of the cubic reaction. First, for all values of D > 0 and k >= 0, we prove the existence of a family of propagating fronts (or travelling waves) describing the advance of the reaction. In particular, in the quadratic case k=0, we recover the results of Billingham and Needham [BN]. Then, if D is close to 1 and k is sufficiently small, we prove using energy functionals that these propagating fronts are stable against small perturbations in exponentially weighted Sobolev spaces. This extends to our system part of the stability results which are known for the scalar Fisher equation.

description: Samarium hexaboride is a candidate for the topological Kondo insulator state, in which Kondo coherence is predicted to give rise to an insulating gap spanned by topological surface states. Here we investigate the surface and bulk electronic properties of magnetically alloyed Sm1-xMxB6 (M=Ce, Eu), using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and complementary characterization techniques. Remarkably, topologically nontrivial bulk and surface band structures are found to persist in highly modified samples with up to 30% Sm substitution, and to coexist with antiferromagnetism in the case of Eu doping. The results are interpreted in terms of a hierarchy of energy scales, in which surface state emergence is linked to the formation of a direct Kondo gap, while low temperature transport trends depend on the indirect gap.

description: A recently proposed scheme for the analytical treatment of the dynamics of two-dimensional hybrid Josephson junction arrays is extended to a class of generalized hybrid arrays with ''horizontal'' shunts involving a capacitive as well as an inductive component. This class of arrays is of special interest, because the internal cell coupling has been shown numerically to favor in-phase synchronization for certain parameter values. As a result, we derive limits on the circuit design parameters for realizing this state. In addition, we obtain formulas for the flux-dependent frequency including flux-induced switching processes between the in-phase and anti-phase oscillation regime. The treatment covers unloaded arrays as well as arrays shunted via an external load.

description: Since November 2018, when Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined youth activists on Capitol Hill in protest for a “Green New Deal” (GND), the idea of a GND has sustained surges of media and political attention, bringing the topic of climate justice into mainstream. The GND, an umbrella of investment policies comparable to the New Deal programs, aims to mitigate climate change while ensuring economic and social security to all Americans. But while many commentators have been quick to draw the link between climate and justice, public commentary has not yet made a basic connection between the justice-based principles of the GND and human rights. I write this paper with the intention of starting that conversation. In showing how grassroots organizations and progressive Democrat officials are shaping a GND “Narrative” through collaborative forms of activism, I show that the Narrative is operating in “creative praxis” to discretely spread ideas of human rights into the American public consciousness. In pursuing this argument, I also provide information that may be useful for human rights scholars interested in how social movements may navigate American Exceptionalism—discussing in depth the human rights themes, rights claims, and demands cohesively embedded into the patriotic Narrative.
Reclamation of abandoned tailings at a northern minesite

description: In the past, the long-term environmental impacts of mining operations were not as well understood as they are today. Some of the practices that were generally accepted throughout Canada would probably not meet today's standards for environmental protection. The implementation of Canada's Green Plan allowed the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) to access funds to investigate remedial options for some of these sites. One of the components of the Green Plan is the Arctic Environmental Strategy (AES) which is being implemented by DIAND. The abandoned Discovery Mine site near Yellowknife, N.W.T., includes tailings that are acid generating and contaminated with mercury. Studies conducted at the Discovery site between 1976 and 1986 concluded that continuing erosion of the tailings is resulting in ongoing mercury contamination of the adjacent Giauque Lake sediments and that the fish in Giauque Lake are sufficiently contaminated with mercury to render them unsafe for human consumption. In August 1991, DIAND commissioned a study to develop reclamation options and to estimate the implementation costs to physically stabilize the tailings, minimize acid rock drainage, and prevent further contamination of the lake sediments. This paper describes the federal programs leading to the classification of contaminated sites and the allocation of funds for rehabilitation. The reclamation options developed for the Discovery site are presented with their engineering and environmental implications.

description: Consider a polynomial of large degree n whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean and finite moments of all orders. We show that such a polynomial has exactly k real zeros with probability n^{-b+o(1)}$ as n --> infinity through integers of the same parity as the fixed integer k >= 0. In particular, the probability that a random polynomial of large even degree n has no real zeros is n^{-b+o(1)}. The finite, positive constant b is characterized via the centered, stationary Gaussian process of correlation function sech(t/2). The value of b depends neither on k nor upon the specific law of the coefficients. Under an extra smoothness assumption about the law of the coefficients, with probability n^{-b+o(1)} one may specify also the approximate locations of the k zeros on the real line. The constant b is replaced by b/2 in case the i.i.d. coefficients have a nonzero mean.

description: Borcherds-Kac-Moody algebras generalise finite-dimensional, simple Lie algebras. Scheithauer showed that there are exactly ten Borcherds-Kac-Moody algebras whose denominator identities are completely reflective automorphic products of singular weight on lattices of square-free level. These belong to a larger class of Borcherds-Kac-Moody (super)algebras Borcherds obtained by twisting the denominator identity of the Fake Monster Lie algebra. Borcherds asked whether these Lie (super)algebras admit natural constructions. For the ten Lie algebras from the classification we give a positive answer to this question, i.e. we prove that they can be realised uniformly as the BRST cohomology of suitable vertex algebras.

Human Rights in Non-International Armed Conflicts

description: By analyzing the types of human rights’ violations in non-international armed conflicts, the evolution of human rights and humanitarian law, and the behavior of armed groups, the thesis will develop different ways - inspired by the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross and NGOs - for protecting the civilians’ basic rights in these conflicts. Human rights’ violations and non-international armed conflicts are, to a certain extent, often interdependent. Numerous non-international armed conflicts are born because of human rights’ violations: armed groups and local militias involved in these conflicts were formed in reaction to the violation of the basic rights of local minorities. Once these armed groups were created, initially to protect the oppressed minorities, they often become those who will commit human rights’ violations against the population. In other terms, human rights’ violations and non-international armed conflicts nourish each other. Also, for protecting civilians and providing them humanitarian help, NGOs need to dialogue with armed groups, and, sometimes, even to collaborate with them. But by doing this, they indirectly give a certain legitimacy to armed groups and weaken states’ authority. In the long-term, this can create more conflicts and weaken the rule of law in the country concerned, leading to more human rights’ violations. The thesis’ recommendations will focus on this issue.

description: All unitary Rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFT) are conjectured to be related to unitary coset Conformal Field Theories, i.e., gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) models with compact gauge groups. In this paper we use subfactor theory and ideas of algebraic quantum field theory to approach coset Conformal Field Theories. Two conjectures are formulated and their consequences are discussed. Some results are presented which prove the conjectures in special cases. In particular, one of the results states that a class of representations of coset $W_N$ ($N\geq 3$) algebras with critical parameters are irreducible, and under the natural compositions (Connes' fusion), they generate a finite dimensional fusion ring whose structure constants are completely determined, thus proving a long-standing conjecture about the representations of these algebras.

description: Extra-laboratory atomic clocks are necessary for a wide array of applications (e.g. satellite-based navigation and communication). Building upon existing vapor cell and laser technologies, we describe an optical atomic clock, designed around a simple and manufacturable architecture, that utilizes the 778~nm two-photon transition in rubidium and yields fractional frequency instabilities of $3\times10^{-13}/\sqrt{τ(s)}$ for $τ$ from 1~s to 10000~s. We present a complete stability budget for this system and explore the required conditions under which a fractional frequency instability of $1\times 10^{-15}$ can be maintained on long timescales. We provide precise characterization of the leading sensitivities to external processes including magnetic fields and fluctuations of the vapor cell temperature and 778~nm laser power. The system is constructed primarily from commercially-available components, an attractive feature from the standpoint of commercialization and deployment of optical frequency standards.

description: We present a new approach to metric Diophantine approximation on manifolds based on the correspondence between approximation properties of numbers and orbit properties of certain flows on homogeneous spaces. This approach yields a new proof of a conjecture of Mahler, originally settled by V. Sprindzhuk in 1964. We also prove several related hypotheses of A. Baker and V. Sprindzhuk formulated in 1970s. The core of the proof is a theorem which generalizes and sharpens earlier results on non-divergence of unipotent flows on the space of lattices.

Atomic nonaffinity as a predictor of plasticity in amorphous solids

description: Structural heterogeneity of amorphous solids present difficult challenges that stymie the prediction of plastic events, which are intimately connected to their mechanical behavior. Based on a perturbation analysis of the potential energy landscape, we derive the atomic nonaffinity as an indicator with intrinsic orientation, which quantifies the contribution of an individual atom to the total nonaffine modulus of the system. We find that the atomic nonaffinity can efficiently characterize the locations of the shear transformation zones, with a predicative capacity comparable to the best indicators. More importantly, the atomic nonaffinity, combining the sign of third order derivative of energy with respect to coordinates, reveals an intrinsic softest shear orientation. By analyzing the angle between this orientation and the shear loading direction, it is possible to predict the protocol-dependent response of plastic events. Employing the new method, the distribution of orientations of shear transformation zones in a model two-dimensional amorphous solids can be measured. The resulting plastic events can be understood from a simple model of independent plastic events occurring at variously oriented shear transformation zones. These results shed light on the characterization and prediction of the mechanical response of amorphous solids.
