description: Abstract

China's rich and diverse cultural landscape has long captivated scholars, artists, and historians. However, the intricate musical heritage of its ethnic minorities, particularly the Tujia and Miao, and its relationship to contemporary music remains relatively underexplored. To address this gap, this paper examines the musical heritage of Western Hunan, focusing on the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups' contributions to contemporary Chinese music. The study critically assesses how their traditional music has persisted and evolved to influence modern compositions. It further explores the historical development of Tujia and Miao music, analyzing its integration into contemporary compositions. This research employs historical and exploratory qualitative methods, drawing on high-quality secondary sources such as peer-reviewed articles, theses, and books. Data were analyzed thematically, with cultural transmission and Chinese music theories guiding the analysis. The study found that music is crucial in preserving the cultural heritage and identity of the Tujia and Miao communities, playing a key role in social events, rituals, and storytelling. However, modernization challenges their musical traditions, prompting efforts to safeguard and adapt them. The study recommends balancing innovation with authenticity to preserve the core of Tujia and Miao musical traditions while adapting to modern contexts. It also calls for increased documentation, government support, and educational initiatives to ensure these practices' longevity and cultural relevance. This research will benefit policymakers, musicologists, sociologists, and scholars in related fields and provide a foundation for further exploration of similar issues among other ethnic minorities in mainland China.

description: Supersymmetry transformations of first and second order are used to generate Hamiltonians with known spectra departing from the harmonic oscillator with an infinite potential barrier. It is studied also the way in which the eigenfunctions of the initial Hamiltonian are transformed. The first and certain second order supersymmetric partners of the initial Hamiltonian possess third-order differential ladder operators. Since systems with this kind of operators are linked with the Painlevé IV equation, several solutions of this non-linear second-order differential equation will be simply found.
Leptogenesis and Neutrino Oscillations in the Classically Conformal Standard Model with the Higgs Portal

description: The Standard Model with an added Higgs portal interaction and no explicit mass terms is a classically scale-invariant theory. In this case the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking can be induced radiatively by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism operational in a hidden sector, and then transmitted to the Standard Model through the Higgs portal. The smallness of the generated values for the Higgs vev and mass, compared to the UV cutoff of our classically scale-invariant effective theory, is naturally explained by this mechanism. We show how these classically conformal models can generate the baryon asymmetry of the Universe without the need of introducing mass scales by hand or their resonant fine-tuning. The minimal model we consider is the Standard Model coupled to the Coleman-Weinberg scalar field charged under the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge group. Anomaly cancellation requires automatic inclusion of three generations of right-handed neutrinos. Their GeV-scale Majorana masses are induced by the Coleman-Weinberg field and lead to the generation of active neutrino masses through the standard see-saw mechanism. Leptogenesis occurs via flavour oscillations of right-handed sterile neutrinos and is converted to the baryon asymmetry by electroweak sphalerons.

description: Within a microscopic approach the structure of Neutron Stars is usually studied by modelling the homogeneous nuclear matter of the core by a suitable Equation of State, based on a many-body theory, and the crust by a functional based on a more phenomenological approach. We present the first calculation of Neutron Star overall structure by adopting for the core an Equation of State derived from the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory and for the crust, including the pasta phase, an Energy Density Functional based on the same Equation of State, and which is able to describe accurately the binding energy of nuclei throughout the mass table. Comparison with other approaches is discussed. The relevance of the crust Equation of state for the Neutron Star radius is particularly emphasised.

description: A measurement of the mass difference between top and anti-top quarks is presented. In a 4.7 fb-1 data sample of proton--proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, events consistent with ttbar production and decay into a single charged lepton final state are reconstructed. For each event, the mass difference between the top and anti-top quark candidate is calculated. A two b-tag requirement is used in order to reduce the background contribution. A maximum likelihood fit to these per-event mass differences yields mt-mtbar = 0.67 +/- 0.61 (stat) +/- 0.41 (syst) GeV, consistent with CPT invariance.

description: As previous literature shows, non-farm income represents up to 50 per cent of rural household income in developing countries. Mostly due to a lack of representative information on climate and family networks, two key factors have been excluded in previous studies on income diversification: (i) the role of intra-seasonal climate variability (affected by climate change), and (ii) the role of family networks located in distant areas (increasingly important given population mobility due to internal conflicts and improved roads and communications). This study analyses the role of these factors on non-farm working hours and non-farm income shares in the Peruvian Andes. Controlling for other assets and environmental conditions, the study finds that households with distant, strong networks diversify more into non-farm activities. Increases in intra-seasonal climate variability (measured by temperature range during the main crop growing season) have heterogeneous effects across subregions. While we find no direct effect among Southern households (more isolated and indigenous), households in the cooler areas of the Central and Northern Andes (below 13 °C during the crop growing season) tend to increase non-farm income as climate variability increases. The study suggests that distant, strong ties facilitate non-farm opportunities for households facing increasing temperature variability in Central and Southern areas.

description: Employment vulnerability is considered as working under inadequate conditions. This research examined the impact of employment vulnerability on earnings with special reference to gender-based differences. Analyses were based on panel data for 2010–2013 and 2016 from the household survey. A panel data fixed-effects model with instrumental variable within the Lewbel (2012) method was applied to estimate an earnings equation. Results indicates negative impact of employment vulnerability on earnings. Women experienced this negative effect more severely. Given these empirical findings, government labour-market policy should not focus on increasing employment alone, but should also address the issue of vulnerability of employment, improvement of working conditions, and expanding employment opportunities for women.

description: We aggregate information from the World Malaria Reports on 61 different antimalarial policies to develop an extensive synthetic index (MaPI) for 44 SSA countries between 1990 and 2017. We observe an increase of convergence in polices’ implementation in the region, starting in more developed countries and reaching less developed countries from the mid-2000s. Using a difference-in-difference events study design, we find that prevention, diagnosis and treatment are key policies to reduce malaria mortality and prevalence: an increase of about 10 p.p. of these policies generates a mortality cumulative decrease of around 8 p.p. and a prevalence cumulative decrease of 13 p.p. after five years. We also use available data on policy coverage for a reduced subset of policies to construct an intensive margin version of the index. Main results are consistent to the ones derived from the extensive version. Finally, we prove the robustness of our results with a large battery of checks related to model specifications, econometric techniques, data sources and falsification tests.

description: Primary forest conservation is essential for limiting climate change, for meeting conservation objectives, and the Sustainable Development Goals. Schemes that compensate communities for forgone extractive uses are important policy tools, but effective deployment demands an understanding of local deforestation drivers and host communities’ preferences. We use Q-methodology to reveal discourses present in three communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Our results reveal three factors with a common emphasis on forest conservation and preferences for compensation in the form of social investments, rather than cash. The main contrasts were in attitudes towards farming. The first discourse, we call conservationist—open to ideas, displayed a commitment to learning better practices for community material benefit in service of forest conservation. The second discourse, which demonstrated greater confidence in their capacity to support livelihoods from farming, we call aspirational artisans. The third, which was acutely aware of the impact of their farming on forest conservation, we called passive, conflicted farmers. We also demonstrate an aspiration for the continued development of farming amongst participants, which although still correlated with preferences for forest conservation, may lead to compensation schemes inadvertently stirring future land use tensions if design does not reconcile agricultural development and conservation.
title: Attached to Tales: A baseline study exploring librarians’ understanding of bibliotherapy and its application in a school library setting
Creators: name: Horan, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: Since 2010, almost 800 libraries have closed across the UK, leaving limited free spaces where young people can access both education and recreation, to the detriment of their wellbeing. Declining mental health in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic will be a further societal challenge that would previously have found support from libraries. Bibliotherapy, the act of reading to improve mental wellbeing, is becoming a popular practice in school libraries across Scotland. This dissertation addresses the question of why this phenomenon has suddenly taken hold, and examines how well-equipped librarians are to lead it. Based on a constructivist paradigm, this research investigates the role the library profession can play in supporting mental wellbeing. The study was comprised of two parts, with reader response theory being used to explore young people’s reactions to participating in bibliotherapy sessions, then, following this, ten librarians were interviewed about their experiences of facilitating bibliotherapy sessions. Reading appeared to improve young people’s mood, and the librarians demonstrated confidence in their ability to deliver bibliotherapy based mostly on their expert knowledge of children’s literature and the relationships they had fostered with the young people they serve. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to a wider mental wellbeing context.

Data representation is an important factor in deciding the performance of machine learning algorithms including classification. Feature construction (FC)can combine original features to form high-level ones that can help classification algorithms achieve better performance. Genetic programming (GP)has shown promise in FC due to its flexible representation. Most GP methods construct a single feature, which may not scale well to high-dimensional data. This paper aims at investigating different approaches to constructing multiple features and analysing their effectiveness, efficiency, and underlying behaviours to reveal the insight of multiple-feature construction using GP on high-dimensional data. The results show that multiple-feature construction achieves significantly better performance than single-feature construction. In multiple-feature construction, using multi-tree GP representation is shown to be more effective than using the single-tree GP thanks to the ability to consider the interaction of the newly constructed features during the construction process. Class-dependent constructed features achieve better performance than the class-independent ones. A visualisation of the constructed features also demonstrates the interpretability of the GP-based FC approach, which is important to many real-world applications.

description: Recent empirical evidence emphasizes the higher prevalence of overweight and obesity for women, especially in developing countries. However, the potential link between gender inequality and obesity has rarely been investigated. Using longitudinal data from India (IHDS 2005–11), we implement Hausman-Taylor and fixed-effect models to estimate the effect of different dimensions of gender inequalities on female overweight. This study demonstrates that the form of gender inequality or women’s mistreatment differently affects female bodyweight. Indeed, we show that some forms of women’s mistreatments (such as perceived community violence and age difference with husband) increase the risk of female overweight, whereas more severe forms of abuse such as child marriage increase the risk of underweight. Moreover, we also find that higher decision-making power and autonomy about outings are risk factors of weight gain and obesity, especially in urban settings, perhaps indicating a higher exposure to urban obesogenic lifestyles. To conclude, our results suggest that, although improving women’s status in society may be a key action to address the epidemic of obesity, policies must also target hazardous habits that emancipation may imply in urban (obesogenic) environments.

description: In The Narrow Corridor, Acemoglu and Robinson create a compelling narrative concerning the relationship between the power of states, the power of societies, and economic development, illustrated with a series of historical vignettes. Using a recently constructed historical dataset of state capacity, we provide a series of formal and informal tests of their hypothesis. We first visualise the historical paths of the strength of society and the strength of the state for each country so as to operationalise the claims of Acemoglu and Robinson. We then measure whether the balance of the strength of society and the strength of the state is predictive of improvements in both. We find very little evidence in favour of Acemoglu and Robinson.

description: [abridged] We present the discovery of four surprisingly bright (H_160 ~ 26 - 27 mag AB) galaxy candidates at z~9-10 in the complete HST CANDELS WFC3/IR GOODS-N imaging data, doubling the number of z~10 galaxy candidates that are known, just ~500 Myr after the Big Bang. Two similarly bright sources are also detected in a systematic re-analysis of the GOODS-S data set. Three of the four galaxies in GOODS-N are significantly detected at 4.5-6.2sigma in the very deep Spitzer/IRAC 4.5 micron data, as is one of the GOODS-S candidates. Furthermore, the brightest of our candidates (at z=10.2+-0.4) is robustly detected also at 3.6 micron (6.9sigma), revealing a flat UV spectral energy distribution with a slope beta=-2.0+-0.2, consistent with demonstrated trends with luminosity at high redshift. The abundance of such luminous candidates suggests that the luminosity function evolves more significantly in phi_* than in L_* at z>~8 with a higher number density of bright sources than previously expected. Despite the discovery of these luminous candidates, the cosmic star formation rate density for galaxies with SFR >0.7 M_sun/yr shows an order-of-magnitude increase in only 170 Myr from z ~ 10 to z ~ 8, consistent with previous results. Based on the IRAC detections, we derive galaxy stellar masses at z~10, finding that these luminous objects are typically 10^9 M_sun. The cosmic stellar mass density at z~10 is log10 rho_* = 4.7^+0.5_-0.8 M_sun Mpc^-3 for galaxies brighter than M_UV~-18. The remarkable brightness, and hence luminosity, of these z~9-10 candidates highlights the opportunity for deep spectroscopy to determine their redshift and nature, demonstrates the value of additional search fields covering a wider area to understand star-formation in the very early universe, and highlights the opportunities for JWST to map the buildup of galaxies at redshifts much earlier than z~10.

description: We use the relation between certain diffeomorphisms in the bulk and Weyl transformations on the boundary to build the conformal structure of the metric in the presence of matter in the bulk. We explicitly obtain the conformal anomaly in any spacetime dimension d in a holographic frame work in the case of gravity coupled to the scalar fields. This way we also provide a holographic construction of the bulk spacetime metric and of the matter fields in the bulk of this spacetime out of sources that are related to conformal field theory data. With the latter, we produce an asymptotic expansion of the bulk fields and scalar fields near the boundary in terms of spacetime dimension in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We work out both the gravitational and matter conformal anomalies of the boundary theory as a coefficient of the infrared logarithmic divergence that appears in the on-shell action.

description: This paper leads with a random polymer model in $\Z^2$ having long-range self-repulsive interactions. By comparison with a long range one-dimensional ferromagnetic Ising model we shown that the polymer models we considered here undergo a phase transition in terms of the inverse temperature $β$. In the second part of this work we shown, using the Lee-Yang Circle Theorem, that our random polymer model with drifts satisfies the, Wu Liming [7], $C^2$ regularity condition. As consequence we obtain a Central Limit Theorem for the model.

title:  "Doctors of our knowledge" : kinship, research, and embodiment in an Amerindian village in Guyana
Creators: name: Arze, Sebastian
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews

description: Ethnography of how people in Surama—a mostly Makushi, Amerindian Village in the North Rupununi of Region 9 in Guyana—conceive of “work” as social formation, “development” as a local manifestation, and knowledge tied to being supports an argument that foreign power is obviated through the formation of similar bodied kin in the community. The focus on a single community, Surama, is a methodological choice born out of previous anthropological understandings of community-settlements as fluid, comprised of consanguineal kin, and leadership as non-coercive and limited to each community. Today, Amerindian Villages are spatially fixed, and administered by Village Councils—the most local branch of government. To understand how people in Amerindian Villages conceive of politics and kinship today, I had to myself become more familiar. I resided in one community, with one family. I took part both in what my hosts described as “tradition”, and “development”. People in Surama described tensions in changing ways of being social. While they champion sociality associated with “tradition”, they manifested “development” as a contribution to the wider world. In this way, they carried what they considered proper social personhood, sharing and willingful contributions, to the wider world. People in Surama conceive of “tradition” and “culture” through a history of mediating outside researchers’ and policy-makers’ interest in their lives. They recognize foreign interest in their visible knowledge of the forest, and share this knowledge through these concepts. Simultaneously, these concepts keep certain ways of knowing distant from researchers. Embodied ways of knowing and interacting with persons in the forest are called “belief”, and are limited to believers. My hosts maintained this as a fundamental difference in our ways of knowing. Their knowing is a doing with kin; ours is writing about that doing. Through extending their knowing and ways of being social to researchers, however, they turn us into similar bodied kin.

description: This study offers a comprehensive evaluation of the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors on the financial performance of corporations. This paper examines the development of the corporate landscape and the significance of ethical behaviour, risk management, accountability, and strategic stakeholder management. This paper explores the three distinct domains of ESG, which are environmental, social, and governance, and their individual effects on the financial performance of firms. This paper underscores the correlation between corporations that prioritize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors and their propensity to adopt sustainable practises, reduce their environmental impact, promote fair treatment of their workforce, uphold human rights, and generate beneficial impacts for the communities they operate in. This paper presents a comprehensive review of empirical evidence indicating that companies that demonstrate strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance tend to exhibit better financial performance and lower risk exposure. The conclusion of the paper emphasises the significance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in attaining sustainable development

description: The rapid rise of nosocomial infections and the growing ineffectiveness of frontline antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) have put the healthcare sector under unprecedented stress. In this scenario, colistin, an antibiotic of the polymyxin class, has become the last resort treatment option. However, the unrestricted use of colistin in the preceding decades has led to the emergence of colistin-resistant (ColR) bacterial strains. Unfortunately, comprehensive data on the prevalence of ColR nosocomial pathogens in India are scarce. This study was conducted to address this information gap. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to determine the prevalence of ColR among the nosocomial GNB species in India and their geographical distribution. A systematic search of the online databases was performed and eligible studies meeting the inclusion criteria were used for qualitative synthesis. The combined event rate and 95% confidence interval were estimated using a forest plot with a random-effect model. Cochrane Q statistics and I2 statistics were used to detect possible heterogeneity. From a total of 1865 retrieved records from 4 databases, 33 studies were included in the study. Among the most common nosocomial pathogens, Klebsiella pneumoniae showed a rate of ColR at 16.1% (95% CI: 10.1 to 24.6), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13.3%) (95% CI: 9.1 to 19.2), Acinetobacter baumannii (10%) (95% CI: 7.5 to 13.2), and Escherichia coli (7.8%) (95% CI: 5.3 to 11.2). Interestingly, our analysis revealed that Enterobacter cloacae have the highest rate of ColR at 27.9% (95% CI: 12.7 to 50.9). The results indicate that the prevalence of ColR nosocomial pathogens vary among regions and over time; however, continuous monitoring, and sustained efforts are crucial to ensure the effectiveness of colistin antibiotic.

description: We consider a one dimensional system of $N$ bosons interacting via an attractive Dirac delta function potential. We place the bosonic quantum particles at thermal equilibrium in a box of length $L$ with periodic boundary conditions. At large $N$ and for $L$ much larger than the diameter of a two particle bound state, we predict by numerical and analytical studies of a simple model derived from first principles that the system exhibits a first order phase transition in a high temperature, non-degenerate regime. The higher temperature phase is an almost pure atomic gas, with a small fraction of dimers, a smaller fraction of trimers, etc. The lower temperature phase is a mesoscopic or macroscopic bound state that collects all the particles of the system with the exception of a small gaseous fraction composed mainly of atoms. We term this phase, which is the quantum equivalent of the classical bright soliton, a liquid.---Nous considerons, en dimension un, une assemblee de $N$ particules quantiques bosoniques interagissant par un potentiel de Dirac attractif, a l'equilibre thermique dans une boite de quantification de longueur L avec des conditions aux limites periodiques. Pour de grandes valeurs de N, et lorsque L est bien superieur au diametre de l'etat dimere dans l'espace reel, nous predisons, par etude numerique et analytique d'un modele simple mais deduit des premiers principes, que le systeme presente, a haute temperature c'est-a-dire dans le regime non degenere, une transition du premier ordre entre deux phases. La phase privilegiee a haute temperature est un gaz presque pur d'atomes, avec une faible fraction de dimeres, et des fractions encore plus faibles de trimeres, etc. La phase qui la supplante a moins haute temperature est un etat lie mesoscopique ou macroscopique que nous qualifions de liquide, equivalent quantique du soliton brillant de la theorie de champ classique, et qui renferme toutes les particules du systeme, a l'exception d'une petite fraction gazeuse composee essentiellement d'atomes.

Drawbacks of the use of fidelity to assess quantum resources

description: Fidelity is a figure of merit widely employed in quantum technology in order to quantify similarity between quantum states and, in turn, to assess quantum resources or reconstruction techniques. Fidelities higher than, say, 0.9 or 0.99, are usually considered as a piece of evidence to say that two states are very close in the Hilbert space. On the other hand, on the basis of several examples for qubits and continuous variable systems, we show that such high fidelities may be achieved by pairs of states with considerably different physical properties, including separable and entangled states or classical and nonclassical ones. We conclude that fidelity as a tool to assess quantum resources should be employed with caution, possibly combined with additional constraints restricting the pool of achievable states, or only as a mere summary of a full tomographic reconstruction.

description: Normas sobre finanças públicas sempre estiveram presentes na legislação de licitações e contratos administrativos. Com o advento da Lei nº 14.133/2020, este estudo analisou as regras de Direito Financeiro presentes na nova lei de licitações e contratos administrativos, visando avaliar se houve continuidade ou mudança em relação às legislações anteriores. O trabalho foi desenvolvido sob a vertente descritiva da pesquisa jurídica, com caráter eminentemente diagnóstico e comparativo. O estudo demonstrou que a nova lei reproduziu diversos dispositivos da legislação pretérita. Contudo, houve o recrudescimento das normas de finanças públicas tanto por meio da inclusão de regras quanto do aprimoramento de redação das normas anteriores. Essas normas têm o condão de melhorar o processo de planejamento da contratação pública visando evitar os mais indesejáveis problemas do sistema: obras paradas, interrupção de políticas públicas, irresponsabilidade fiscal e ruptura contratual, notadamente por falta de previsões orçamentárias.

description: We investigate conditions under which a co-computably enumerable closed set in a computable metric space is computable and prove that in each locally computable computable metric space each co-computably enumerable compact manifold with computable boundary is computable. In fact, we examine the notion of a semi-computable compact set and we prove a more general result: in any computable metric space each semi-computable compact manifold with computable boundary is computable. In particular, each semi-computable compact (boundaryless) manifold is computable.
