description: The cultural history of South Africa records the events that led to the establishment of apartheid, the legal system which subjugated the black majority to an inferior status based on race. While apartheid became the official policy of South Africa in 1948, prior to that year white minority governments enacted laws and manufactured attitudes that led to the political domination of black people. The ramification of policies of discrimination has for decades caused black people's intellectual, economic, political, and educational pursuits to be substandard. Yet, the resiliency of black South Africans has been demonstrated many times over in movements of resistance. People such as Nelson and Winnie Mandela challenged the South African government concerning its continued domination of blacks. Grass roots movements all over the country used various means of resistance. One vehicle of resistance at the grassroots level was the emergence of African indigenous churches. In the context of sacred space, these churches, which attract the poorest of the poor, utilize symbolic orders that transform peoples' lives to the extent that they become empowered social actors. Moreover, these churches design rituals of healing in which people who suffer from various sicknesses are healed physically and, more often than not, transformed emotionally. This study focuses on healing rituals in an African indigenous church located in a black township in Cape Town known as Guguletu. It is based on fieldwork conducted from June 15, 1991-January 15, 1992 and during the month of August 1992. The primary focus of the research involves the study of religion as a cultural system. The goal is to examine how micro-level social relations, as reflected in an African indigenous church, impact and are impacted by macro-level political, social and economic structures, as well as by the struggles in the Republic of South Africa. The interpersonal social relations of poor black South Africans are examined with the intent of discovering how they employed religious healing rituals as a force for reorienting their social reality, a material world that is permeated with the legacy of apartheid. The ways in which this material world is symbolically transformed by healing rituals into a life enhancing reality are explored. The specific location of the study is an African indigenous church called St. John's Apostolic Faith Mission. It is part of a larger indigenous church movement that is the most rapidly growing segment of religious life in South Africa. These churches stand in counterdistinction to the "historical churches.". The conclusion is drawn that the rituals of healing are expressions of protest by nonelites who are thereby transforming the world in which they live.

description: A fraction of active galactic nuclei do not show the classical Seyfert-type signatures in their optical spectra, i.e. they are optically "elusive". X-ray observations are an optimal tool to identify this class of objects. We combine new Chandra observations with archival X-ray data in order to obtain a first estimate of the fraction of elusive AGN in local galaxies and to constrain their nature. Our results suggest that elusive AGN have a local density comparable to or even higher than optically classified Seyfert nuclei. Most elusive AGN are heavily absorbed in the X-rays, with gas column densities exceeding 10^24 cm^-2, suggesting that their peculiar nature is associated with obscuration. It is likely that in elusive AGN, the nuclear UV source is completely embedded and the ionizing photons cannot escape, which prevents the formation of a classical Narrow Line Region. Elusive AGN may contribute significantly to the 30 keV bump of the X-ray background.

description: An investigation of the social pressure and conformity to groups specific to eating attitudes and body image of 325 secondary school female students from five independent secondary schools was performed. Eating attitudes and body image were determined using the Eating Disorders Inventory 2 (Garner, 1990), in addition to the Personal Appearances Comparison Scale, in a two time administration study performed during the school year. Social groups were determined using a cluster analysis of friendship choices. Significant shifting of individual attitudes toward mean friendship cluster attitudes was found over the course of this study. In general the findings of this study indicate that friendship groups influence students' eating attitudes and behaviors. However, contrary to the hypothesis, students did not shift friendship groups significantly if their EDI score differed from their cluster's mean score. Eating disorder symptomology, as indicated by the EDI-2, decreased over time. Significant differences in eating attitudes were also found between students at the boarding and day schools. The students in the higher grades had significantly higher scores on the EDI-2 than the younger students.

description: One challenge of studying the many-body localization transition is defining the length scale that diverges upon the transition to the ergodic phase. In this manuscript we explore the localization properties of a ring with onsite disorder subject to an imaginary magnetic flux. We connect the imaginary flux which delocalizes single-particle orbitals of an Anderson-localized ring with the localization length of an open chain. We thus identify the delocalizing imaginary flux per site with the inverse localization length. We put this intuition to use by exploring the phase diagram of a disordered interacting chain, and find that the inverse imaginary flux per bond provides an accessible description of the transition and its diverging localization length.

Social science and the law: How the Supreme Court has used social science in deciding the important women's issues of abortion and sex discrimination
Creators: name: Erickson, Rosemary J.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The present study focuses on how social science research has contributed to the resolution of women's issues in the Supreme Court over the past twenty years. The 35 cases the Supreme Court decided between 1972 and 1992 on abortion and sex discrimination were selected for study, along with the 51 lower court cases, for a total of 86 cases. The study analyzes existing data through measuring the frequency of social science citations in the Court's opinion and relating them to one another and other study variables. The model describes the use of social science data and explains the circumstances under which it was used. Results reveal that prior cases are given far greater weight than social science data, but social science was cited in over half of the cases. The Supreme Court's use of social science has increased over time, though not greatly, and more in abortion cases than in sex discrimination cases. The Justices did not necessarily use social science even when it supported their position and had previously cited in similar cases. Usage varies by Justice, and whether or not the Justice is liberal or conservative. Usage also varies by the type of case, with more cases of sex discrimination citing social science, while abortion cases have relatively more citations. The use of data by the Supreme Court was not dependent on whether the lower courts cited social science. There was no shortage of social science data from the lower courts or the briefs. The study contributes both to science and to the judiciary, by helping scientists direct their efforts toward the judiciary when studying issues of possible import to the judiciary and aiding the judiciary by showing how social science has been, and can be, used effectively.
Measurement of the Generalized Forward Spin Polarizabilities of the Neutron

description: The generalized forward spin polarizabilities $γ_0$ and $δ_{LT}$ of the neutron have been extracted for the first time in a $Q^2$ range from 0.1 to 0.9 GeV$^2$. Since $γ_0$ is sensitive to nucleon resonances and $δ_{LT}$ is insensitive to the $Δ$ resonance, it is expected that the pair of forward spin polarizabilities should provide benchmark tests of the current understanding of the chiral dynamics of QCD. The new results on $δ_{LT}$ show significant disagreement with Chiral Perturbation Theory calculations, while the data for $γ_0$ at low $Q^2$ are in good agreement with a next-to-lead order Relativistic Baryon Chiral Perturbation theory calculation. The data show good agreement with the phenomenological MAID model.

Cessation of X-ray Pulsation of GX 1+4

description: We report results from our weekly monitoring campaign on the X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 with the {\em Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer} satellite. The spin-down trend of GX 1+4 was continuing, with the pulsar being at its longest period ever measured (about 138.7 s). At the late stage of the campaign, the source entered an extended faint state, when its X-ray (2-60 keV) flux decreased significantly to an average level of $\sim 3 \times 10^{-10} ergs cm^{-2} s^{-1}$. It was highly variable in the faint state; the flux dropped to as low as $\sim 3 \times 10^{-11} ergs cm^{-2} s^{-1}$. In several observations during this period, the X-ray pulsation became undetectable. We can, therefore, conclude conservatively that the pulsed fraction, which is normally $\gtrsim$ 70% (peak-to-peak), must have decreased drastically in those cases. This is very similar to what was observed of GX 1+4 in 1996 when it became similarly faint in X-ray. In fact, the flux at which the cessation of X-ray pulsation first occurred is nearly the same as it was in 1996. We suggest that we have, once again, observed the propeller effect in GX 1+4, a phenomenon that is predicted by theoretical models of accreting X-ray pulsars.

Chinese language maintenance: A case study of a weekend school
Creators: name: Jiang, Xixiang
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This is a case study of a community-based language school, which aims to maintain the Chinese language and culture by way of a variety of formal and semi-formal instructional activities. In this study, I have two general research questions, one is "what are the language maintenance efforts by this weekend school?" and the other is "how are the outcomes of these efforts?" To answer these questions, I have completed two tasks. One is an ethnographic description of the school, its growth through time, its instructional activities and the social and cultural context in which the school operates. The other task I have completed is the determination of the relationship between various social and instructional factors and the language proficiency that the target population has demonstrated. I finished the first task by providing detailed descriptions and narrations using qualitative data that I collected from my participant observation, which involved weekly trips to the field of research, interviews with and surveys from students, teachers and parents. I finished the second task by producing quantitative examinations and analyses of the data that I collected from a standardized language test and an examinee background information form. Among my major findings are, first, students' interest and motivation in attending language classes are low, so is their language proficiency, especially in reading comprehension and structure, as compared to available national norms. I argue that this is largely due to the traditional nature of the instructional methodologies and classroom activities. Second, I found the school is in need of more support and recognition from the community and society as a whole. Therefore, based on my findings, I concluded my dissertation with proposals to enhance the instructional design through a proficiency-based teaching approach, and to rally public support for the community effort through a credentializing system in which the weekend school students could receive appropriate regular high school credits.

description: Unconventional symmetry-breaking phenomena due to nontrivial order parameters attract increasing attention in strongly correlated electron systems. Here, we predict theoretically the occurrence of nanoscale spontaneous spin-current, called the spin loop-current (sLC) order, as a promising origin of the pseudogap and electronic nematicity in cuprates. We reveal that the sLC is driven by the odd-parity electron-hole condensation that are mediated by transverse spin fluctuations around the pseudogap temperature $T^*$. At the same temperature, odd-parity magnon pair condensation occurs. The sLC order is "hidden" in that neither internal magnetic field nor charge density modulation is induced, whereas the predicted sLC with finite wavenumber naturally gives the Fermi arc structure. In addition, the fluctuations of sLC order work as attractive pairing interaction between adjacent hot spots, which enlarges the d-wave superconducting transition temperature $T_c$. The sLC state will be a key ingredient in understanding the pseudogap, electronic nematicity as well as superconductivity in cuprates and other strongly correlated metals.

Search was performed using the following catalogues: Hipparcos; Tycho2 with coordinates of 2838666 stars taken from UCAC2 (Herald, 2003); UCAC2 (Zacharias et al., 2003) with 16356096 stars between 12.00 and 14.99 mag to the north from -45 declination. Predictions were made for 17 largest numbered transneptunian asteroids, recently discovered 2004 DW and 4 known binary Kuiper Belt objects. 64 events occuring at solar elongation of 30 deg and more are selected, including exceptionally rare occultation of 6.5m star by double (66652) 1999 RZ253 on 2007 October 4th. Observations of these events by all available means are extremely important since they can provide unique information about the size of TNOs and improve their orbits dramatically.

description: We introduce Seshat, a new, simple and open-source software to efficiently manage annotations of speech corpora. The Seshat software allows users to easily customise and manage annotations of large audio corpora while ensuring compliance with the formatting and naming conventions of the annotated output files. In addition, it includes procedures for checking the content of annotations following specific rules that can be implemented in personalised parsers. Finally, we propose a double-annotation mode, for which Seshat computes automatically an associated inter-annotator agreement with the $γ$ measure taking into account the categorisation and segmentation discrepancies.

description: We present mid-infrared nulling interferometric and direct imaging observations of the Herbig Ae star HD 100546 obtained with the Magellan I (Baade) 6.5 m telescope. The observations show resolved circumstellar emission at 10.3, 11.7, 12.5, 18.0, and 24.5 microns. Through the nulling observations (10.3, 11.7 and 12.5 microns), we detect a circumstellar disk, with an inclination of 45 +- 15 degrees with respect to a face-on disk, a semimajor axis position angle of 150 +- 10 degrees (E of N), and a spatial extent of about 25 AU. The direct images (18.0 and 24.5 microns) show evidence for cooler dust with a spatial extent of 30-40 AU from the star. The direct images also show evidence for an inclined disk with a similar position angle as the disk detected by nulling. This morphology is consistent with models in which a flared circumstellar disk dominates the emission. However, the similarity in relative disk size we derive for different wavelengths suggests that the disk may have a large inner gap, possibly cleared out by the formation of a giant protoplanet. The existence of a protoplanet in the system also provides a natural explanation for the observed difference between HD 100546 and other Herbig Ae stars.

However, human-robot interaction (HRI) methods are still limited in their ability to autonomously recognize and respond to behavioral cues, especially in atypical users and everyday settings. This work applies supervised machine learning algorithms to model user engagement in the context of long-term, in-home SAR interventions for children with ASD. Specifically, we present two types of engagement models for each user: (i) generalized models trained on data from different users; and (ii) individualized models trained on an early subset of the user's data. The models achieved approximately 90% accuracy (AUROC) for post hoc binary classification of engagement, despite the high variance in data observed across users, sessions, and engagement states. Moreover, temporal patterns in model predictions could be used to reliably initiate re-engagement actions at appropriate times. These results validate the feasibility and challenges of recognition and response to user disengagement in long-term, real-world HRI settings. The contributions of this work also inform the design of engaging and personalized HRI, especially for the ASD community.

description: The double slit experiment provides a clear demarcation between classical and quantum theory, while multi-slit experiments demarcate quantum and higher-order interference theories. In this work we show that these experiments pertain to a broader class of processes, which can be formulated as information-processing tasks, providing a clear cut between classical, quantum and higher-order theories. The tasks involve two parties and communication between them with the goal of winning certain parity games. We show that the order of interference is in one-to-one correspondence with the parity order of these games. Furthermore, we prove the order of interference to be additive under composition of systems both in classical and quantum theory. The latter result can be used as a (semi)device-independent witness of the number of particles in the quantum setting. Finally, we extend our game formulation within the generalized probabilistic framework and prove that tomographic locality implies the additivity of the order of interference under composition. These results shed light on the operational meaning of the order of interference and can be important for the identification of the information-theoretic principles behind second-order interference in quantum theory.

description: We report new techniques for driving high-fidelity stimulated Raman transitions in trapped ion qubits. An electro-optic modulator induces sidebands on an optical source, and interference between the sidebands allows coherent Rabi transitions to be efficiently driven between hyperfine ground states separated by 14.53 GHz in a single trapped 111Cd+ ion.

description: Most admissions counselor training programs across the country neglect to incorporate active-listening and communication skills as a viable component of college admissions training. This study sought to determine the effects of an Active-Listening, Communication Skills Workshop (AACW) in the improvement of five components of active-listening skills of admissions counselors participating in the workshop. Two hypotheses were tested to determine the effects of the AACW on workshop participants. The instruments which were developed by the researcher to collect the data used in hypothesis testing were the Admissions, Active-Listening, Communication Style Inventory (AACSI) and a Personal Data Form (PDF). Study subjects were 86 admissions counselors representing 6 colleges and universities in the metropolitan Washington D.C. area, and 14 colleges in the state of Virginia. Analysis of the study data utilized the t-Test. The criterion for statistical significance in the study was p $<$.05. Results of the hypothesis testing were that there was a significant difference in the AACSI Mean scores for admissions counselors who participated in the AACW. It was concluded that the AACW had a profound effect on participant utilization of five components of active-listening, communication behavior. Implications for the training needs of college admissions counselors and recommendations for further research are also discussed.

description: The Hall effect in SrRuO$_3$ thin-films near the thickness limit for ferromagnetism shows an extra peak in addition to the ordinary and anomalous Hall effects. This extra peak has been attributed to a topological Hall effect due to two-dimensional skyrmions in the film around the coercive field; however, the sign of the anomalous Hall effect in SrRuO$_3$ can change as a function of saturation magnetization. Here we report Hall peaks in SrRuO$_3$ in which volumetric magnetometry measurements and magnetic force microscopy indicate that the peaks result from the superposition of two anomalous Hall channels with opposite sign. These channels likely form due to thickness variations in SrRuO$_3$, creating two spatially separated magnetic regions with different saturation magnetizations and coercive fields. The results are central to the development of strongly correlated materials for spintronics.

description: This paper examines the effects of work-related perks, such as corporate jets and limousines, nice offices, secretarial staff, etc., on the optimal incentive contract. In a linear contracting framework, perks characterized by complementarities between production and consumption improve the trade-off between incentives and insurance that determines the optimal contract for a risk-averse agent. We show that (i) the perk may be offered even if its direct consumption and productivity benefits are offset by its cost; (ii) the perk will be offered for free; (iii) agents in more uncertain production environments will receive more perks; (iv) senior executives should receive both more perks and stronger explicit incentives; and (v) better corporate governance can lead firms to award their CEOs more perks. Our analysis also offers insights into the firms’ decisions about how much autonomy they should grant to their employees and about optimal perk provision when managers and workers are organized in teams.

description: We offer a novel view of employee discounts and in kind compensation. In our theory, bundling perks and cash compensation allows a firm to extract information rents from employees who have private information about their preferences for the perk and about their outside opportunities. We show that in maximizing profit with heterogeneous workers, the firm creates different bundles of the perk and salary in response to different employee characteristics and marginal costs of the perk. Our key result is that strategic bundling can lead firms to provide perks even in the absence of any cost advantage over the outside market and to deviate from the standard marginal cost pricing rule. We study how this deviation depends upon the set of feasible contracts, upon the perk’s marginal cost, and upon the correlation between the agents’ preferences for the good and their reservation utilities.

description: In general-relativistic cosmological models, the expansion history, matter content, and geometry are closely intertwined. In this brief paper, we clarify the distinction between the effects of geometry and expansion history on the luminosity distance. We show that the cubic correction to the Hubble law, measured recently with high-redshift supernovae, is the first cosmological measurement, apart from the cosmic microwave background, that probes directly the effects of spatial curvature. We illustrate the distinction between geometry and expansion with a toy model for which the supernova results already indicate a curvature radius larger than the Hubble distance.
