description: We derive perturbation analytic expressions for the Casimir free energy and entropy between two dissimilar ferromagnetic plates which are applicale at arbitrarily low temperature. The dielectric properties of metals are described using either the nondissipative plasma model or the Drude model taking into account the dissipation of free charge carriers. Both cases of constant and frequency-dependent magnetic permeability are considered. It is shown that for ferromagnetic metals described by the plasma model the Casimir entropy goes to zero when the temperature vanishes, i.e., the Nernst heat theorem is satisfied. For ferromagnetic metals with perfect crystal lattices described by the Drude model the Casimir entropy goes to a nonzero constant depending on the parameters of a system with vanishing temperature, i.e., the Nernst heat theorem is violated. This constant can be positive which is quite different from the earlier investigated case of two nonmagnetic metals.

description: Background: We assessed built environment (residential density, landuse mix and aesthetics) and HIV linkage to care (LTC) among 1,681 (18–49 years-old) residents of 15 Mpumalanga villages, South Africa. Methods: Multilevel models (linear-binomial) were used for the association between built environment, measured using NEWS for Africa, and LTC from a clinical database of 9 facilities (2015–2018). Additionally, we assessed effect-measure modification by universal test-and-treat policy (UTT). Results: We observed, a significant association in the adjusted 3-month probability of LTC for residential density (risk difference (RD)%: 5.6, 95%CI: 1.2–10.1), however, no association for land-use mix (RD%: 2.4, 95%CI: −0.4, 5.2) and aesthetics (RD%: −1.2, 95%CI: −4.5–2.2). Among those diagnosed after UTT, residents of high land-use villages were more likely to link-to-care than those of low land-use villages at 12 months (RD%: 4.6, 95%CI: 1.1–8.1, p < 0.04), however, not at 3 months (RD%: 3.0, 95%CI: −2.1–8.0, p > 0.10). Conclusion: Findings suggest, better built environment conditions (adequate infrastructure, proximity to services etc.) help facilitate LTC. Moreover, UTT appears to have a protective effect on LTC.

description: This document addresses the topic of temporary or meanwhile uses in urban regeneration and results from research work developed within T-Factor, a Horizon 2020 project that seeks to boost temporary uses as a driving force for more inclusive, thriving and resilient urban regeneration. The document is conceived as a Portfolio - i.e. a compendium of stories, highlights and learnings emerging from the adoption or emergence of temporary uses within eight urban redevelopments across Europe and beyond, namely Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence, King’s Cross in London, Friche Belle de Mai in Marseille, 22@ in Barcelona, EC1 and New Centre in Lodz, Dortmunder U and Union Quarter in Dortmund, Industry City in New York and Red Town in Shanghai. In T-Factor, these are the so-called Advanced Cases: regeneration initiatives that are nearly completed or at advanced stages, and where temporary uses are a key feature of the redevelopment pathway. Their diversity - in terms of geographical areas and cultures, socio-economic contexts, heritage, types of regeneration projects - may offer a multitude of insights around a field of practice and policymaking which is still emergent across Europe, thus contributing to knowledge creation and learning. The highlights and stories captured in this Portfolio are mostly practical; by covering a wide range of aspects that are at play when dealing with temporary uses in urban regeneration, we attempt to provide developers, public authorities, intermediaries and practitioners with useful indications and ideas to unlock their potential towards more sustainable, inclusive and higher quality regeneration. More than that, we intend for this Portfolio to contribute to a wide reflection and conversation around the multiple values and possible risks that temporary uses may bring about in making our cities a better place for all.

description: Eric Johnston, President of the Motion Picture Association of America, supposedly remarked ‘we’ll have no more Grapes of Wrath’ in response to an investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities into communism in the American film industry in 1947. Many film historians have employed the quotation as evidence that the investigation had created strict controls that led to fewer politically and socially motivated films in the United States in the 1950s. It has also linked Johnston to the highly conservative Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals. However, the quotation was based on a suspect source and was possibly derived from material said or written by other people. Johnston may well have made this comment, but if so, the context of the comment has been ignored. A more nuanced interpretation is needed to assess Johnston’s views and actions.

description: Collateral number/density varies widely in brain and other tissues among strains of Mus musculus mice due to differences in genetic background. Recent studies have shown that prolonged exposure to reduced atmospheric oxygen induces additional collaterals to form, suggesting that natural selection may favor increased collaterals in populations native to high-altitude. High-altitude guinea pigs (Cavia) and deer mice (Peromyscus) were compared with lowland species of Peromyscus, Mus and Rattus (9 species/strains examined). Collateral density, diameter and other morphometrics were measured in brain where, importantly, collateral abundance reflects that in other tissues of the same individual. Guinea pigs and high-altitude deer mice had a greater density of pial collaterals than lowlanders. Consistent with this, guinea pigs and highlander mice evidenced complete and 80% protection against stroke, respectively. They also sustained significantly less ischemia in heart and lower extremities after arterial occlusion. Vessels of the circle of Willis, including the communicating collateral arteries, also exhibited unique features in the highland species. Our findings support the hypothesis that species native to high-altitude have undergone genetic selection for abundant collaterals, suggesting that besides providing protection in obstructive disease, collaterals serve a physiological function to optimize oxygen delivery to meet oxygen demand when oxygen is limiting.

The calculations are performed for the $1s$, $2s$, and $2p_{1/2}$ states in the range $Z =$ 1-110. The obtained results are compared with previous evaluations of this effect. It is found that for heavy ions the previously neglected corrections amount to about 20% of the total nuclear size contribution to the recoil effect calculated within the Breit approximation.

description: This cross-sectional study on Ghanaian adolescents examined the direct and indirect associations of food insecurity, parent–adolescent relationship, and adolescent future orientation. We used structural equation modeling to examine reliability and validity of our latent constructs and our hypothesized direct and indirect relationships. Results indicated adequate fit of our measurement and structural models with the data. Results also showed a significant direct and indirect effect of food insecurity. Food insecurity was directly associated with parental connection, orientation toward success, and uncertainty about the future. Food insecurity was also indirectly associated with orientation toward success and uncertainty about the future, via parental connection. Further, higher levels of parental connection were directly associated with higher levels of orientation toward success and with lower levels of uncertainty about the future. Understanding the direct and indirect effect of food insecurity is important for the design of appropriate interventions that promote holistic and positive adolescent development.
A review of pedestrian, cyclist, and micromobility user safety in the Austin West Campus neighborhood

description: The safety of users of alternative modes of transportation is incredibly important for usage and accessibility to local services, public transit, resources, and amenities. As the City of Austin continues to grow, and the West Campus neighborhood continues to densify, it is important for the city to consider the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and users of micromobility options (i.e., dockless electric scooters) and other alternative modes of transport. Safe roadway networks and adequate alternative transportation infrastructure, such as bike lanes and well-maintained sidewalks, are especially relevant for individuals with mobility related disabilities. How safe and protected from vehicular traffic individuals feel impacts how they get around. Occurrences of traffic incidents involving vehicles and pedestrians/cyclists/e-scooter users can deter people from utilizing these more climate and environmentally friendly transportation options. As the West Campus neighborhood generally consists of students who do not use personal vehicles to travel to the UT Austin campus, it is important for the City of Austin to consider the safety of people not using motorized vehicles. This professional report will focus on pedestrian, bicyclist, and micromobility user safety in the West Campus neighborhood in Austin, TX. Specifically, it will analyze traffic incidents involving these modes from 2012 through 2021, and what the City of Austin has implemented to improve safety for users of non-motorized forms of transportation. With the recent amendments and implementation of the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) and other development density bonuses that have allowed for taller residential towers and greater population density, it is even more important to consider the safety of pedestrians and users of alternative modes of transportation, such as bicycles, e-scooters, and public transit (Austin, TX L.D.C. Ordinance No. 040902-58, 2004). The greater number of students and other residents in West Campus will impact crash rates. The City of Austin needs to account for this potential population growth and consider street infrastructure improvements, especially in areas with greater crash rates. With the city’s Vision Zero initiative, and the future implementation of Project Connect, pedestrian, cyclist, and e-scooter safety should receive greater attention and consideration.

description: In this paper we model user behaviour in Twitter to capture the emergence of trending topics. For this purpose, we first extensively analyse tweet datasets of several different events. In particular, for these datasets, we construct and investigate the retweet graphs. We find that the retweet graph for a trending topic has a relatively dense largest connected component (LCC). Next, based on the insights obtained from the analyses of the datasets, we design a mathematical model that describes the evolution of a retweet graph by three main parameters. We then quantify, analytically and by simulation, the influence of the model parameters on the basic characteristics of the retweet graph, such as the density of edges and the size and density of the LCC. Finally, we put the model in practice, estimate its parameters and compare the resulting behavior of the model to our datasets.

description: This article examines the influence of teacher assistants and other personnel on outcomes for elementary school students during a period of recession-induced cutbacks in teacher assistants. Using panel data from North Carolina, we exploit the state’s unique system of financing its local public schools to identify the causal effects of teacher assistants, controlling for other staff, on measures of student achievement. We find consistent evidence of positive effects of teacher assistants, an understudied staffing category, on student performance in reading and math. We also find larger positive effects of teacher assistants on achievement outcomes for students of color and students in high-poverty schools than for White students and students in more affluent schools. We conclude that teacher assistants are a cost-effective means of raising student achievement, especially in reading.

Year: 2021

description: This article outlines how counties and municipalities in North Carolina prepared their fiscal year 2020–21 budgets amid the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to an April 2020 survey, 92 percent of jurisdictions reported anticipating a general-fund shortfall for FY 2021, and over 20 percent expected shortfalls exceeding 10 percent of their general funds. Over three-quarters of jurisdictions reported not budgeting for any new positions, and over half instituted hiring freezes. This research presents important insights into how counties and municipalities prepared for the recession and highlights the differences and similarities of those strategies.

Sexual Harassment at the Workplace Act: Providing Redress or Maintaining Status Quo?

Year: 2021

description: Despite a law against sexual harassment of women at the workplace, persons holding high offices, including senior judges, seem to enjoy impunity. By critically examining the allegations made against Justice Ranjan Gogoi (retd), former Chief Justice of India, and analysing five other cases of sexual harassment, we highlight how women are routinely denied justice. In doing so, we ask: are women actually able to file complaints of sexual harassment without the fear of facing a backlash? And do they ultimately get justice when they do so? We argue that the implementation of the law against sexual harassment is mediated by caste, class and gender, both of the survivor and of the perpetrator. We point to a changing polity that makes laws, guarantees and protections for women, but stumbles in implementing them in a fair and non-arbitrary manner.

description: Report Summary: The total capitalized value of farm program benefits was obtained by summing estimated allotment values per acre for crops under the programs. Although the final estimates may be subject to some error, they provide a new perspective on the capitalization process. Short-term program returns were found to represent an important factor in annual returns to labor and management. In 1970, the total capitalized value of certain program benefits was about $16.5 billion, or 8 percent of the value of farm real estate. Since 1955, land buyers have paid an estimated $5.9 billion to buy program benefits but only $2.7 billion of this amount remained unrecovered in 1970. The difference between unrecovered investment and opportunity value--$14 billion--represents an increment to value above the actual investment of land and allotment owners. In the past, people have generally assumed that most farm program benefits have been capitalized into land values at rates similar to farm mortgage interest rates. Apparently, more of the short-term earnings go to other factors; perhaps only a third to a half of total short-term earnings accrue to land. Further, the average capitalization rate is probably 1.5 to 3 times the mortgage rate of interest.

description: We present a highly optimized implementation of a Monte Carlo (MC) simulator for the three-dimensional Ising spin-glass model with bimodal disorder, i.e., the 3D Edwards-Anderson model running on CUDA enabled GPUs. Multi-GPU systems exchange data by means of the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The chosen MC dynamics is the classic Metropolis one, which is purely dissipative, since the aim was the study of the critical off-equilibrium relaxation of the system. We focused on the following issues: i) the implementation of efficient access patterns for nearest neighbours in a cubic stencil and for lagged-Fibonacci-like pseudo-Random Numbers Generators (PRNGs); ii) a novel implementation of the asynchronous multispin-coding Metropolis MC step allowing to store one spin per bit and iii) a multi-GPU version based on a combination of MPI and CUDA streams. We highlight how cubic stencils and PRNGs are two subjects of very general interest because of their widespread use in many simulation codes. Our code best performances ~3 and ~5 psFlip on a GTX Titan with our implementations of the MINSTD and MT19937 respectively.

description: A generalized transport theorem for convecting irregular domains is presented in the setting of Federer's geometric measure theory. A prototypical $r$-dimensional domain is viewed as a flat $r$-chain of finite mass in an open set of an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. The evolution of such a generalized domain in time is assumed to be in accordance to a bi-Lipschitz type map. The induced curve is shown to be continuous with respect to the flat norm and differential with respect to the sharp norm on currents in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. A time dependent property is naturally assigned to the evolving region via the action of an $r$-cochain on the current associated with the domain. Applying a representation theorem for cochains the properties are shown to be locally represented by an $r$-form. Using these notions a generalized transport theorem is presented.

description: Cattle hide prices more than doubled between August 1971 and June 1972. To restrain the impact on retail shoe prices, the U.S. Government imposed strict regulations on tanner, shoe-maker, and retailer markups and invoked cattle hide export limits. Data on leather tanning and the cost of manufacturing men's oxford shoes indicate a hide price change of 1 cent per pound increases side-upper shoe leather material costs 1.46 cents per square foot. Therefore the recent sharp hide price increase would have increased the cost of leather in a pair of men's oxford shoes by 66 to 75 cents, or 5-7 percent of factory selling prices.

Evaluating Response Shift in Statistical Mediation Analysis

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.

description: Researchers and prevention scientists often develop interventions to target intermediate variables (known as mediators) that are thought to be related to an outcome. When researchers target a mediating construct measured by self-report, the meaning of the self-report measure could change from pretest to posttest for the individuals who received the intervention—which is a phenomenon referred to as response shift. As a result, any observed changes on the mediator measure across groups or across time might reflect a combination of true change on the construct and response shift. Although previous studies have focused on identifying the source and type of response shift in measures after an intervention, there has been limited research on how using sum scores in the presence of response shift affects the estimation of mediated effects via statistical mediation analysis, which is critical for explaining how the intervention worked. In this article, we focus on recalibration response shift, which is a change in internal standards of measurement and affects how respondents interpret the response scale. We provide background on the theory of response shift and the methodology used to detect response shift (i.e., tests of measurement invariance). In addition, we used simulated data sets to provide an illustration of how recalibration in the mediator can bias estimates of the mediated effect and affect Type I error and power.

description: The decay $K_L \to invisible$ has never been experimentally tested. In the Standard Model (SM) its branching ratio for the decay into two neutrinos is helicity suppressed and predicted to be $Br(K_L \to ν\barν) \lesssim 10^{-10}$. We consider several natural extensions of the SM, such as two-Higgs-doublet (2HDM), 2HDM and light scalar, and mirror dark matter models, those main feature is that they allow to avoid the helicity suppression factor and lead to an enhanced $Br(K_L \to invisible)$. For the decay $K_L \to ν\barν$ the smallness of the neutrino mass in the considered 2HDM model is explained by the smallness of the second Higgs doublet vacuum expectation value. The small nonzero value of the second Higgs isodoublet can arise as a consequence of nonzero quark condensate. We show that taking into account the most stringent constraints from the $K \to π+invisible$ decay, this process could be in the region of $Br(K_L \to invisible) \simeq 10^{-8}-10^{-6}$, which is experimentally accessible. In some scenarios the $K_L \to invisible$ decay could still be allowed while the $K \to π+invisible$ decay is forbidden. The results obtained show that the $K_L \to invisible$ decay is a clean probe of new physics scales well above 100 TeV, that is complementary to rare $K \to π+invisible$ decay, and provide a strong motivation for its sensitive search in a near future experiment.

description: Investments in livestock waste management systems on family farm would range from a few dollars to half or more of total initial cost of modern confinement systems. Control of animal wastes beyond what farmers are already doing would add to cost with no offsetting change in returns on most farms. The immediate impact of additional pollution abatement is a reduction in income. It would fall more heavily on some producers than others. Farmers who annually produce about 50 hogs on pasture may be little affected. Net income may be severely reduced, however, on many farms where more hogs are produced in open lots. Added drainage control and waste storage could increase costs as much as $6 per head for a 500-head, open-lot operation. Continued operation might then be unprofitable. Producers who use complete confinement can very likely meet environmental quality standards for little added cost. Shifting from surface application to soil injection of wastes would raise costs only about $0.16 per hog in a 1,500-head operation. Large volume (5,000 head) producers without a cropland base could encounter either intolerable added costs or net gains if new ways to capture values from wastes are devised. A high-quality environment is important to farmers, but impediments to change exist: (1) Farmers and lenders are not certain of the performance of alternative methods of pollution control or the level of environmental quality that will eventually be required; (2) the market offers no economic incentive to change; (3) diseconomies of size exist; (4) age and tenancy make durable investments unattractive; and (5 ) technical assistance is not yet available in the amount that will be required by new and pending legislation.
“The Looming, Crazy Stalker Coronavirus”: Fear Mongering, Fake News, and the Diffusion of Distrust

description: The authors explore media distrust among a sample of precarious and gig workers interviewed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although these left-leaning respondents initially increased their media consumption at the outset of the pandemic, they soon complained of media sensationalism and repurposed a readily available cultural tool: claims of “fake news.” As a result, these unsettled times have resulted in a “diffusion of distrust,” in which an elite conservative discourse of skepticism toward the media has also become a popular form of compensatory control among self-identified liberals. Perceiving “fake news” and media sensationalism as “not good” for their mental health, respondents also reported experiencing media burnout and withdrawing from media consumption. As the pandemic passes its one-year anniversary, this research has implications for long-term media coverage on COVID-19 and ongoing media trust and consumption.

Employment Lapses and Subsequent Hiring Disadvantages: An Experimental Approach Examining Types of Discrimination and Mechanisms
Creators: name: Weisshaar, Katherine
Publisher: name: SAGE Publications Inc.
Year: 2021

description: Employment interruption is a common experience in today’s labor market, most frequently due to unemployment from job loss and temporary lapses to care for family or children. Although existing research shows that employment lapses cause disadvantages at the hiring interface compared to individuals with no employment disruptions, competing theories predict different mechanisms explaining these hiring penalties. In this study, the author uses an original conjoint survey experiment to causally assess perceptions of fictitious job applicants, focusing on a comparison of unemployed applicants and nonemployed caregiver applicants, who left work to care for family, to currently employed applicants. The author examines whether disadvantages for job applicants with employment gaps are receptive to positive information (and therefore represent a form of “informational bias”) or are resistant to information (reflecting “cognitive bias”) and further assesses which types of information affect or do not affect levels of bias in fictitious hiring decisions. Results show that positive information on past job performance and social skills essentially eliminates disadvantages faced by unemployed job applicants, but nonemployed caregiver applicants remain disadvantaged even with multiple types of positive information. These findings suggest that unemployed applicants face informational biases but that nonemployed caregiver applicants face cognitive biases that are rigid even with rich forms of positive or counter-stereotypical information. This study has implications for understanding the career consequences of employment disruption, which is especially relevant to consider in light of labor market disruptions during the recent pandemic.

description: In 1971, U.S. farmers would have incurred additional costs of $2.1 million if farm uses of the insecticide heptachlor had been discontinued. Based on estimates of 1971 acreage treated with heptachlor, this aggregate loss would have included $1.2 million in additional costs for alternative insecticides and $0.9 million in yield losses. Added costs for alternative insecticides would have ranged from $1.55 to $1.73 an acre for corn, depending on whether corn rootworm or other soil insects were the problem. Tobacco producers would have had an added cost of $21,300 for alternative insecticides--$8,700 for field treatment and $12,600 for seedbed treatment. Seed treatment costs, primarily for corn, would have increased by $55,000. Total use of heptachlor would have decreased by 695,000 pounds if farm use had been discontinued. The increase in alternative insecticides would have ranged from 561,000 to 695,000 pounds, depending on which organophosphate or carbamate insecticide farmers had used in place of heptachlor.

description: Using data from a spring 2020 survey of nearly 10,000 parents of elementary school parents in one large southeastern public school district, the authors investigate predictors of elementary school student engagement during the initial period of pandemic remote learning. The authors hypothesize that household material and technological resources, school programming and instructional strategies, and family social capital contribute to student engagement in remote learning. The analyses indicate that even after controlling for rich measures of family socioeconomic resources, students with access to high-speed Internet and Internet-enabled devices have higher levels of engagement. Exposure to more diverse socioemotional and academic learning opportunities further predicts higher levels of engagement. In addition, students whose families remained socially connected to other students’ families were more likely to engage online.
Aesthetics and spectacle wear: investigating perceived harmony between face shape and spectacle frame shape
Creators: name: Ramlagun, Komal
Publisher: name: Anglia Ruskin Research Online (ARRO)
Year: 2024

description: BackgroundSeveral factors could contribute to the dislike of spectacle wear and aesthetics may be one of them. It is hypothesised that a mismatch between the shape of the face and the shape of the frame worn may have a negative impact on the perception of spectacle frame suitability. Currently, patients are being provided with contradicting advice, which if resolved, could improve spectacle wear acceptance.MethodsFour studies were carried out. First, an internet review of unsolicited reasons, from internet users, for the dislike of spectacle wear was carried out, followed by an offline paper-based survey seeking open-ended reasons for dislike of spectacle wear from 150 participants (Age: 18 to 40 years). Thereafter, a study of facial shape classification of individuals from three racial backgrounds through objective measurements (Models: N=15) and subjective classification (Judges: N=150; Age: 18 to 40 years), was done. This was preceded by a preliminary study. Finally, a frame shape-face shape suitability study was carried out, whereby 27 photographs (Participants of 3 different face shapes, from 3 racial backgrounds, wearing 3 frame shapes) were rated (5-point Likert scale) by real-life participants (N=150). These observers were also of different gender and racial backgrounds.Results and ConclusionInconvenience and Aesthetics were major categories of concern for the dislike of spectacle wear, both online and offline. Female subjects felt more negatively towards Aesthetics factors. In the third study, a facial shape classification algorithm was proposed, and findings indicated that round faces exhibit equivalence in height and width while square and oval faces have more angular facial outlines at the jawline and chin. Lastly, square frames were perceived as most suitable for square and oval faces, and both square and round frames were perceived as most suitable for oval faces. It was concluded that angular frames do not necessarily complement rounder features, and vice-versa. Racial background has an impact on the perception of frame-face shape suitability.
