description: Whistleblowing is regularly identified as corporate control mechanism to prevent and uncover fraud. We review and compare the legal situation for whistleblowers in the People’s Republic of China and India. In a survey of 942 employees from private companies in both countries, we take a look at the status quo of whistleblowing system implementation, explore preference of channels to disclose fraud or corruption, and analyze under which conditions and what kind of employees prefer external over internal whistleblowing. We find that provisions for mandatory whistleblowing systems can be found in the law of both countries. In China in particular, protection is scattered across many different laws in the private sector. Indian companies seem to have systems in place more often, although this difference becomes smaller the larger the company. The general preference of internal over external channels is similar across countries. Our regression models suggest that external channels are preferred over internal ones when fear of retaliatory measures is higher, the company is smaller, and the whistleblower is female. In line with prior literature, the effect of fear of retaliation is moderated by gender: women are less influenced by retaliation. All in all, implementation of whistleblowing systems seems ubiquitous in both countries; legal protection and comprehensive measures to decrease retaliation are lacking. Additional implications of findings are discussed.

Coordinate/Field Duality in Gauge Theories: Emergence of Matrix Coordinates
Creators: name: Fatollahi, Amir H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The proposed coordinate/field duality [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78 (1997) 163] is applied to the gauge and matter sectors of gauge theories. In the non-Abelian case, due to indices originated from the internal space, the dual coordinates appear to be matrices. The dimensions and the transformations of the matrix coordinates of gauge and matter sectors are different and are consistent to expectations from lattice gauge theory and the theory of open strings equipped with the Chan-Paton factors. It is argued that in the unbroken symmetry phase, where only proper collections of field components as colorless states are detected, it is logical to assume that the same happens for the dual coordinates, making matrix coordinates the natural candidates to capture the internal dynamics of baryonic confined states. The proposed matrix coordinates happen to be the same appearing in the bound-state of D0-branes of string theory.

The evolution of morph-biased genes in spadefoot toads
Creators: name: Leichty, Aaron Reid
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Polyphenisms allow for the expression of two or more discrete phenotypes from a single genotype in an environment dependent manner. These phenotypes are associated with extensive differences in levels of gene expression and recent work suggests that genes with differential expression between phenotypes (biased genes) evolve at elevated rates relative to genes showing no difference between phenotypes (unbiased genes). The causes of this difference in evolutionary rate remain relatively unexplored. Using a combination of molecular and genomic approaches I identified genes with biased expression between the environmentally induced alternative morphs of spadefoot toad tadpoles (genus Spea). I further characterized these morph-biased genes in closely related spadefoot toad species that do not express alternative tadpole morphologies (genus Scaphiopus). Phylogenetic estimates of protein evolutionary rates in Spea reveal that morph-biased genes are evolving more quickly than unbiased genes, but this was dependent on rate estimation method. Surprisingly, in Scaphiopus morph-biased orthologs are evolving more quickly than unbiased orthologs, regardless of estimation method. Finally, morph-biased genes in Spea are evolving no more quickly than their orthologs in Scaphiopus. In total, our work suggests that genes with higher rates of evolution are more likely to evolve differential expression, but differential expression has no direct influence on a gene's evolutionary rate.

The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada’s Representation of Indigenous History from 1945 to 1982

Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada

description: Canada formed the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in 1919 to commemorate subjects of national historic importance, the terms of which were very subjective and initially narrowly interpreted. This thesis explores the development of the Board’s representation of Indigenous history in national historic designations from 1945 to 1982. It does so by examining Board meeting minutes, reports, administrative structures, policies, and drafted inscriptions. This thesis argues that the Board worked towards better representing Indigenous history internally during the period, though the results only became public toward the end. Indigenous subjects considered and subsequently designated were largely Indigenous figures who supported assimilationist practices by the British and Canadian governments, or archaeological sites that divorced Indigenous peoples from the present. Another significant source of subject matter useful in examining the Board’s improved means of presenting Indigenous history was the North-West Campaign. Internally, the Board struck the Indian Tribes of Canada committee that became the Fur Trade and Indigenous Peoples committee, developed policy on Indigenous language use and the protection of archaeological remains, and collaborated with the National Museum of Man to reconcile shortcomings in its expertise to improve its portrayal of Indigenous history. These factors were all instrumental in the development of the Board’s more accurate and informed presentation of Indigenous history by the end of the period, with higher numbers of designations and a broader range of Indigenous subjects.

description: Ketamine has gained popularity as a mainstream “club drug” in the youth dance culture across many parts of the world, including East and Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia and North America. Recreational use of ketamine is associated with multiple acute toxicities and chronic impairments, such as cardiovascular effects (e.g., hypertension, tachycardia), psychological effects (e.g., agitation, paranoid delusions, depersonalization, and dissociation), risk of physical or social harms, cognitive impairments, urinary tract dysfunction, liver damage, and schizophrenia-like symptoms. Although the abuse potential of the racemic ketamine is widely recognized, there is limited evidence on the differential abuse liability of ketamine’s enantiomers. This scoping review aims to evaluate the extant preclinical and clinical literature on the abuse liability and addictive properties of racemic-, (S)-, and (R)-ketamine.
A supercooled water drop impact and solidification: effect of substrate roughness and air flow

description: Ice accretion is often caused by the nucleation and freezing of a supercooled water drop after its impact on working surfaces, such as aircraft wings, transmission lines or fan blades, it threatens the safe operation of the equipment and even leads to catastrophic failures. Therefore, it is crucial to better understand the physics of supercooled drop impact. The main subject of this study is the observation of a supercooled drop impact and measurements of a freezing time. The experiments are performed in a vertical wind tunnel, installed in a cold room. The phenomenon is observed with a high-speed video system. In the experiments, the air velocity has been varied from 0 to 22.5 m/s. Additionally, three substrates of different roughness have been investigated. It has been found that higher roughness of the substrate leads to a higher probability of nucleation after impact. Additionally, the higher air velocity also prompts earlier nucleation inception. Furthermore, intriguing cavities and voids formed from the drop breakup upon impact on rough substrates have been observed, which have an effect on the nucleation as well.

description: Optically bright, wide separation double (gravitationally lensed) quasars can be easily monitored, leading to light curves of great importance in determining the Hubble constant and other cosmological parameters, as well as the structure of active nuclei and halos of galaxies. Searching for new double quasars in the SDSS-III database, we discovered SDSS J1442+4055. This consists of two bright images (18-19 magnitudes in the r band) of the same distant quasar at redshift z = 2.575. The two quasar images are separated by about 2.1 arcsec, show significant parallel flux variations and can be monitored from late 2015. We also found other two double quasar candidates, SDSS J1617+3827 (z = 2.079) and SDSS J1642+3200 (z = 2.264), displaying evidence for the presence of a lensing object and parallel flux variations, but requiring further spectroscopic observations to be confirmed as lensed quasars.

A Psychophysiological Approach to the Study of the Effects of Racism on the Health of African American Youth
Creators: name: Gaskin, Ashly Louise
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: The current study examined individual, situational, contextual, and methodological factors that may influence the relationship between racism and health outcomes in African American youth. The aims of the current study were: 1) to examine how the type of racism (i.e., subtle versus blatant) and the race of the perpetrator influence mood and psychophysiological responses to racism; 2) to investigate how gender moderates the effects of racism on such responses; and 3) to explore similarities between psychophysiological and self-report mood responses to racism analogues while also considering the role of gender. Both type of racism and perpetrator race influenced mood and physiological responses to racism analogues. Gender moderated mood responses but findings regarding physiological responses were inconclusive. Finally, the data revealed some degree of correspondence between mood and physiological data for males and females. These findings are situated within the racism and health literature and clinical implications are discussed.

description: Daily X-ray flaring represents an enigmatic phenomenon of Sgr A$^{\star}$ --- the supermassive black hole at the center of our Galaxy. We report initial results from a systematic X-ray study of this phenomenon, based on extensive {\it Chandra} observations obtained from 1999 to 2012, totaling about 4.5 Ms. We detect flares, using a combination of the maximum likelihood and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, which allow for a direct accounting for the pile-up effect in the modeling of the flare lightcurves and an optimal use of the data, as well as the measurements of flare parameters, including their uncertainties. A total of 82 flares are detected. About one third of them are relatively faint, which were not detected previously. The observation-to-observation variation of the quiescent emission has an average root-mean-square of $6\%-14\%$, including the Poisson statistical fluctuation of faint flares below our detection limits. We find no significant long-term variation in the quiescent emission and the flare rate over the 14 years. In particular, we see no evidence of changing quiescent emission and flare rate around the pericenter passage of the S2 star around 2002. We show clear evidence of a short-term clustering for the ACIS-S/HETG 0th-order flares on time scale of $20-70$ ks. We further conduct detailed simulations to characterize the detection incompleteness and bias, which is critical to a comprehensive follow-up statistical analysis of flare properties. These studies together will help to establish Sgr A$^{\star}$ as a unique laboratory to understand the astrophysics of prevailing low-luminosity black holes in the Universe.

description: Driving existing materials to exhibit topologically nontrivial state is of both scientific and technological interests. Using first-principle calculations, we propose the first demonstration of electron doping induced multiple quantum phase transition in a single material of the organometallic framework, HTT-Pt, which has been synthesized by reacting triphenylene hexathiol molecules (HTT) with PtCl2. At low elec-tron doping, the HTT-Pt converts from a normal insulator to a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator with time-reversal symmetry (TRS). At high electron doping, the TRS is further broken making the HTT-Pt a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator. The topologically nontrivial band gap of the electron-doped HTT-Pt opened by intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can be as large as 44.5 meV, which is promising for realizing these quantum phases at high temperatures. The possibility of switching between the QSH and QAH states offers an intriguing platform for new device paradigm by interfacing between a QSH and QAH state.

description: We study the structure of the social graph of mobile phone users in the country of Mexico, with a focus on demographic attributes of the users (more specifically the users' age). We examine assortativity patterns in the graph, and observe a strong age homophily in the communications preferences. We propose a graph based algorithm for the prediction of the age of mobile phone users. The algorithm exploits the topology of the mobile phone network, together with a subset of known users ages (seeds), to infer the age of remaining users. We provide the details of the methodology, and show experimental results on a network GT with more than 70 million users. By carefully examining the topological relations of the seeds to the rest of the nodes in GT, we find topological metrics which have a direct influence on the performance of the algorithm. In particular we characterize subsets of users for which the accuracy of the algorithm is 62% when predicting between 4 age categories (whereas a pure random guess would yield an accuracy of 25%). We also show that we can use the probabilistic information computed by the algorithm to further increase its inference power to 72% on a significant subset of users.
Framing liberalism
Creators: name: White, Melinda Nicole
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Self identification as liberal has declined quite notably in the United States since the mid 1960s. Part of the explanation of this decline is a growing association of the connotation of liberalism along the lines of race, protest, counter culture, and the like. I investigate the portions of this group association thesis which are possible to observe in the ANES feeling thermometer data and observe clear evidence of growing group association with the term. That raised the question of where the group association arises. I hypothesize media framing as the cause and observe it by word counts, which I take as proxies for frames. I observe fairly strong associations between presumed cause, media frames, and effect, change in perceptions of liberals.

description: Web is a wide term which mainly consists of surface web and hidden web. One can easily access the surface web using traditional web crawlers, but they are not able to crawl the hidden portion of the web. These traditional crawlers retrieve contents from web pages, which are linked by hyperlinks ignoring the information hidden behind form pages, which cannot be extracted using simple hyperlink structure. Thus, they ignore large amount of data hidden behind search forms. This paper emphasizes on the extraction of hidden data behind html search forms. The proposed technique makes use of semantic mapping to fill the html search form using domain specific database. Using semantics to fill various fields of a form leads to more accurate and qualitative data extraction.

Year: 2018

description: The associations between the consumption of total meat, unprocessed red meat, unprocessed poultry, and processed meat and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and prediabetes (pre-DM) in the Chinese population remains unclear. I cross-sectionally examined the associations between meat intake and T2D and pre-DM and the modification effect of weight status and age. 7,421adults in the China Health and Nutrition Survey in 2009 were enrolled. Patients with abnormal fasting blood glucose or self-reported diabetes diagnosis were identified. Meat intake was assessed by using 24-hour dietary recalls. Odds ratios (ORs) were estimated using multinomial logistic regressions. A possible modification effect by weight status or age was tested by using likelihood ratio tests. The multivariate-adjusted ORs for higher levels compared with lowest level of meat intake were non-significant for all kinds of meat (P>0.05). The likelihood ratio tests for meat-BMI interaction and meat-age interaction were non-significant (P>0.05).

description: Fast control of quantum systems is essential in order to make use of quantum properties before they are degraded by decoherence. This is important for quantum-enhanced information processing, as well as for pushing quantum systems into macroscopic regimes at the boundary between quantum and classical physics. Bang-bang control attains the ultimate speed limit by making large changes to control fields on timescales much faster than the system can respond, however these methods are often challenging to implement experimentally. Here we demonstrate bang-bang control of a trapped-ion oscillator using nano-second switching of the trapping potentials. We perform controlled displacements which allow us to realize quantum states with up to 10,000 quanta of energy. We use these displaced states to verify the form of the ion-light interaction at high excitations which are far outside the usual regime of operation. These methods provide new possibilities for quantum-state manipulation and generation, alongside the potential for a significant increase in operational clock speed for ion-trap quantum information processing.

The tenth justice?: consequences of politicization in the solicitor general's office
Creators: name: Wohlfarth, Patrick C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Previous analyses of the solicitor general's influence on the Supreme Court emphasize one of three explanations: expertise, an independent agent, or an ideological signal. Overall, the solicitor general is widely considered to serve two masters, both the President and Court. This creates an inherent tension between duties as a political advocate and independent legal agent. I propose a theory attempting to explain the interaction between these two roles. I argue that the political advocacy of the solicitor general has a direct impact on this independent status and success. I test my assertion using time series data from 1953-1985 and an individual-level analysis spanning the 1953-1993 Court terms. My results show a relationship between politicization and solicitor general success conditioned by the party supported in amici, the historical time period under investigation, and political issue salience. The data suggest a solicitor general-Court relationship dependent on the context surrounding litigation.

description: With its unique data samples at energies of 3.8--4.6 GeV, the BESIII experiment made a significant contribution to the study of charmonium and charmonium-like states, i.e., the XYZ states. We review the results for observations of the Zc(3900) and Zc(4020) states, the X(3872) in e+e- annihilation, and charmonium psi(1^3D_2) state, as well as measurements of the cross-sections of omega chi_cJ and eta J/psi, and the search for e+e- to gamma chi_cJ and gamma Y(4140). We also present data from BESIII that may further strengthen the study of the XYZ and conventional charmonium states, and discuss perspectives on future experiments.

Geochemistry and U/Pb zircon geochronology of the Virgin Islands batholith, British Virgin Islands
Creators: name: Schrecengost, Kevin Lee
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The Virgin Islands batholith is a series of mid-crustal granitic rocks in an oceanic island arc. Here I present new whole-rock major- and trace-element compositions, Sr, Pb, and Nd isotopic data, zircon Hf-O isotopic data, and U/Pb zircon geochronology for the batholith. Zircon geochronology indicates that the batholith was assembled over ≥ 13 m.y. between 43.6 and 30.6 Ma with the emplacement of at least four discrete suites. The batholith is marked by spatio-temporal and geochemical patterns. Initial 87Sr/86Sr, εNd(t), zircon εHf(t), and zircon δ18O suggest that the batholith evolved from mantle-derived melts with limited incorporation of isotopically evolved crustal components. Evidence from the batholith suggests that oceanic island arcs produce nascent continental crust that evolves toward average continental compositions. This immature crust is likely a precursor to the production of continental crust that has yet to undergo further differentiation. This nascent stage provides an important step in continental crust production.

description: We present an analysis of galaxies in groups and clusters at $0.810^{10.3}M_\odot$, we find $f_{\rm convert}\sim 0.4$ in the groups and $\sim 0.6$ in the clusters, similar to comparable measurements at $z=0$. This means the time between first accretion into a more massive halo and final star formation quenching is $t_p\sim 2$ Gyr. This is substantially longer than the estimated time required for a galaxy's star formation rate to become zero once it starts to decline, suggesting there is a long delay time during which little differential evolution occurs. In contrast with local observations we find evidence that this delay timescale may depend on stellar mass, with $t_p$ approaching $t_{\rm Hubble}$ for $M_{\rm star}\sim 10^{9.5}M_\odot$. The result suggests that the delay time must not only be much shorter than it is today, but may also depend on stellar mass in a way that is not consistent with a simple evolution in proportion to the dynamical time. Instead, we find the data are well-matched by a model in which the decline in star formation is due to "overconsumption", the exhaustion of a gas reservoir through star formation and expulsion via modest outflows in the absence of cosmological accretion. Dynamical gas removal processes, which are likely dominant in quenching newly accreted satellites today, may play only a secondary role at $z=1$.

description: On July 1, 2013 Croatia became the first state significantly impacted by the Yugoslav wars to join the European Union. While Croatia was able to progress from a new country in a state of war to an EU member state in just two decades, the country's accession process was certainly difficult. In addition to structural reforms, the EU pushed Croatian governments to implement a progressive regional policy and help neighboring countries carry out similar reforms. This goal required Croatia to build relations with other members of the former Yugoslavia, including former enemies. This paper analyzes the actions taken by Croatian governments and presidents to build relations with its bordering states, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro, but also Kosovo because Croatia has taken the initiative to become its most vocal ally in the region. The paper concludes that Croatia, as a newcomer to foreign relations, has progressed substantially from its nationalistic past and currently has good relations with its most immediate neighbors. There is still substantial room for improvement in the case of the Croatian-Serbian relationship, but it is certainly much better now than immediately after the wars of the former Yugoslavia. Croatia has been substantially influenced by its EU accession process, so it is likely that the EU's socialization process would only increase Croatia's willingness to work closely with its neighbors and support those that are still interested in joining the club.

Professional learning through collaborative inquiry
Creators: name: Fisher, Tara C.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Professional learning communities

description: The purpose of this project was to explore the experiences of a group of elementary school teachers, with regards to professional learning as they moved through a school-based collaborative inquiry process. As the newly seconded Coordinator of Inquiry (inquiry support teacher) in my school, I had the opportunity to develop and facilitate this process within our school. My research focus was the factors that contributed to the ability of our staff to learn and assimilate that learning into their teaching, thereby increasing the adaptive capacity of our staff and our school. This project was an action research project. In my quest to introduce collaborative inquiry as a process to support and encourage teacher professional learning and create an environment conducive to educational change, I incorporated various factors into this inquiry, including collaborative teaching partners working with multi-age buddy classes. Teacher professional learning was focused on assessment for learning strategies, instructional technology, problem solving and critical thinking skills, self-regulated learning theory and the BC Provincial Curriculum for Social Responsibilty. Finally, I used current research on educational change theory to direct my personal leadership with regards to this project. Quantitative research data was collected voluntarily from teachers by means of a survey. Qualitative research data was collected by means of a survey, personal reflections, interviews, and researcher observations. Teacher professional learning, in the focus areas of our collaborative inquiry, occurred and was significant in providing evidence that the staff was building the school’s adaptive capacity for the benefit of all learners.
