Social media usage by Saudi undergraduate nursing students and the development of their professional identity: A mixed methods study
Creators: name: ALHARBI, MUNA IBRAHIM H
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2022
Subjects: classificationCode: 420599
subject: Nursing not elsewhere classified

description: The professional identity of nursing students involves student nurses perceiving themselves as developing the attributes of nursing professionals. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of social media usage on the development of Saudi undergraduate nursing students' professional identity using an exploratory sequential mixed methods design. It is concluded that the more students purposefully engaged with social media, the more they developed their nursing professional identity. Social media is a powerful tool that can benefit nursing students in many ways, including opening the gate on their path to becoming nurses.
Quest for Collective Intelligence in the Internet Public Sphere. Comparative Case Study and Cognitive Processes Analysis

subject: FOS: Sociology

description: The subject of the presented comparative case study is the phenomenon of collective intelligence (CI) in the online public sphere. Intelligence that appears in online communities is understood as a form of a distributed ability, which arises from the collaboration and competition between many individuals in the Internet. The purpose of the presented study was an analysis of group cognitive processes specific for the manifestations of CI, appearing in the 8 selected online projects implemented in the Central-Eastern European countries. Additionally, 2 projects from Western Europe, considered in the scientific literature as valuable examples, were selected for comparison purposes. In these projects, we evaluated the 4 main cognitive processes specific for collective “thinking”: perception (collective sensing), problem-solving, decision making, and collective memorization (including learning and gaining feedback). The results revealed, that most cognitiveprocesses in the analyzed projects are working satisfactorily, with the exception of collective memory, which works only toa very limited extent. A presented guideline for future policymakers is to develop a shared memory system, to which all community members should have access.

description: Relations between moments and cumulants play a central role in both classical and non-commutative probability theory. The latter allows for several distinct families of cumulants corresponding to different types of independences: free, Boolean and monotone. Relations among those cumulants have been studied recently. In this work we focus on the problem of expressing with a closed formula multivariate monotone cumulants in terms of free and Boolean cumulants. In the process we introduce various constructions and statistics on non-crossing partitions. Our approach is based on a pre-Lie algebra structure on cumulant functionals. Relations among cumulants are described in terms of the pre-Lie Magnus expansion combined with results on the continuous Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula due to A. Murua.

description: In 2002, referring to Iraq and its relationship to terrorism, Donald Rumsfeld declared “that there are known knowns, there are things we know we know. We also know that there are known-unknowns, that is to say we know there are some things that we do not know, but there are also unknown-unknowns—the ones that we don’t know we don’t know.” There was nothing new in what Rumsfeld said, and some thought he was uttering evasive gibberish, but Rumsfeld’s classifications are quite useful. Exploring known unknowns is, for example, much of the work of science. Donald Rumsfeld turned out to be a better epistemologist than a defense secretary. I shall begin briefly with some known knowns about the House Blueprint’s proposal then turn to known unknowns.

A Guide to the Guide to the Republican Better Way Plan
Creators: name: Raskolnikov, Alex
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2017

description: This special Issue of the Columbia Journal of Tax Law is bound to have both an immediate impact and a lasting significance. The immediate impact is assured because the sole focus of this Issue is the tax plan proposed by the Congressional Republicans as part of their broad reform agenda called A Better Way: Our Vision For A Confident America.[1] As this Issue goes to print, the Better Way Plan (or the Plan for short) is being debated in the White House, on Capitol Hill, in the press, in academic circles, think tanks, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and all major law and accounting firms, as well as in many other places. For anyone thinking through the implications of the Plan, this Issue is a must read. At the same time, the contributions in this Issue will provide a lasting benefit to the tax policy community. Even though the intellectual foundations of the tax system proposed in the Plan were laid decades ago, the core ideas underlying the Plan have never been considered, tested, and scrutinized nearly as rigorously and comprehensively as they are now. Simply put, the level of intellectual capital that is being invested in analyzing the Plan is extraordinary. This Issue combines some of the best applied work on the subject to date. So it will benefit academics, policymakers, and practitioners thinking about the tax systems similar to the one proposed in the Plan for decades to come. This Issue is a guide to the Plan based on what we know so far, and this Introduction is a guide to the Issue.

description: In RuCl$_3$, inelastic neutron scattering and Raman spectroscopy reveal a continuum of non-spin-wave excitations that persists to high temperature, suggesting the presence of a spin liquid state on a honeycomb lattice. In the context of the Kitaev model, magnetic fields introduce finite interactions between the elementary excitations, and thus the effects of high magnetic fields - comparable to the spin exchange energy scale - must be explored. Here we report measurements of the magnetotropic coefficient - the second derivative of the free energy with respect to magnetic field orientation - over a wide range of magnetic fields and temperatures. We find that magnetic field and temperature compete to determine the magnetic response in a way that is independent of the large intrinsic exchange interaction energy. This emergent scale-invariant magnetic anisotropy provides evidence for a high degree of exchange frustration that favors the formation of a spin liquid state in RuCl$_3$.

Energy Spectra of Elemental Groups of Cosmic Rays: Update on the KASCADE Unfolding Analysis

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The KASCADE experiment measures extensive air showers induced by cosmic rays in the energy range around the so-called knee. The data of KASCADE have been used in a composition analysis showing the knee at 3-5 PeV to be caused by a steepening in the light-element spectra. Since the applied unfolding analysis depends crucially on simulations of air showers, different high energy hadronic interaction models (QGSJet and SIBYLL) were used. The results have shown a strong dependence of the relative abundance of the individual mass groups on the underlying model. In this update of the analysis we apply the unfolding method with a different low energy interaction model (FLUKA instead of GHEISHA) in the simulations. While the resulting individual mass group spectra do not change significantly, the overall description of the measured data improves by using the FLUKA model. In addition data in a larger range of zenith angle are analysed. The new results are completely consistent, i.e. there is no hint to any severe problem in applying the unfolding analysis method to KASCADE data.

description: Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze: 1) What is the form of Illegal Fishing activities? 2) How is law enforcement against illegal fishing in Indonesia based on national and international law? 3) Why is Illegal Fishing called a transnational crime?. The research method used is empirical juridical with a statutory approach, concept approach, and case studies. The results showed that: 1)  There are many types of illegal fishing, such as manipulation of administrative requirements, use of fishing gear that is not permitted, nets that are not in accordance with laws and regulations, and others.Illegal  fishing is known  as Illegal Unreported and Unregulated Fishing  (IUU). 2)  Based on the provisions of Article 62 paragraph (4) letter (k) and Article 73 of UNCLOS, Indonesia as an archipelagic country is indeed given the right to enforce the law in the EEZ area if there is or creates a violation of law in the area. However, Article 73 paragraph (3) of UNCLOS provides that penalties imposed by coastal states on actions in EEZ areas must not include corporal punishment. Indonesia can only impose corporal punishment if it has signed bilateral agreements with other countries. Foreign fishing boats that commit fish theft can be fined and then the foreign boat fishermen can be deported to their home country. 3) The existence of transnational crime elements in the IUU fishing and fishing crime element causes international cooperation to be needed to overcome it. Until now there has been no international cooperation that Indonesia can use to eradicate IUU  fishing and fishing crime  as a crime that requires international cooperation. Until now, there has been no coordination mechanism between the local government and the central government in efforts to prevent and eradicate IUU fishing.
Inverse problem for a random Schrödinger equation with unknown source and potential

description: In this paper, we study an inverse scattering problem associated with the time-harmonic Schrödinger equation where both the potential and the source terms are unknown. The source term is assumed to be a generalised Gaussian random distribution of the microlocally isotropic type, whereas the potential function is assumed to be deterministic. The well-posedness of the forward scattering problem is first established in a proper sense. It is then proved that the rough strength of the random source can be uniquely recovered, independent of the unknown potential, by a single realisation of the passive scattering measurement. In addition to the use of a single sample of the passive measurement for two unknowns, another significant feature of our result is that there is no geometric restriction on the supports of the source and the potential: they can be separated, or overlapped, or one containing the other.

We provide both direct and indirect limits from dark matter direct detections and collider facilities. Compared to a fundamental scalar dark matter, our results show that in the composite scalar dark matter the disappearing resonant mass region, the smaller spin-independent dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section in certain mass region, and the absence at the HL-LHC illustrate how to differentiate these two dark matter models.
Minimum Global Effective Corporate Tax Rate as General Anti-Avoidance Rule

description: More than $2 trillion of foreign profits generated by American multinationals is purposefully locked out of the United States in order to avoid U.S. taxation upon repatriation and to benefit from the deferral rule of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, which allows U.S. corporations with controlled foreign corporations (CFCs) to defer taxation of the foreign-sourced active income of the CFC subsidiary until it is repatriated through dividend distributions to the U.S. parent company. Several American multinationals, including Apple and Google, used Irish and Dutch and tax haven subsidiaries in tax planning schemes to reduce their American and Worldwide tax liability substantially. Just recently, The European Commission has concluded that Ireland violated the EU state aid rules by granting undue tax benefits of up to €13 billion to Apple, allowing Apple to pay substantially less tax than other businesses. The Commission determined that Ireland must recover the illegal aid. The U.S. responded by supporting Apple and all U.S. Multinationals in this litigation.

description: The conventional wisdom is that social networks exhibit an assortative mixing pattern, whereas biological and technological networks show a disassortative mixing pattern. However, the recent research on the online social networks modifies the widespread belief, and many online social networks show a disassortative or neutral mixing feature. Especially, we found that an online social network, Wealink, underwent a transition from degree assortativity characteristic of real social networks to degree disassortativity characteristic of many online social networks, and the transition can be reasonably elucidated by a simple network model that we propose. The relations among network assortativity, clustering, and modularity are also discussed in the paper.

description: If you work within the research community (principal investigator, professor, researcher, data scientist, manager, etc.), you know there is a huge amount of commitment and expertise required to move projects from inception to completion. Multi-tasking, shifting priorities, and resource constraints are common, with the focus frequently being on meeting deadlines and moving on to the next project. Capturing attention from colleagues all over the world, who have the power to act on these insights and effect change, is a whole other job – and can be as large as formulating the group’s position, to begin with. This webinar will offer strategies for getting outputs into the right hands and promoting engagement. The research community is skeptical of marketing for good reason. But, there is a system for using what works in marketing to effect social and behaviour change for good. It’s called Social Marketing. Social Marketing’s been an important strategy in public health promotion for 30 years and, as we’ll discuss in the webinar, has significant potential for helping to advance change in the research community. At this webinar, we’ll talk about how Social Marketing can help engage stakeholders in research to support and embrace new approaches – including the recommendations, frameworks, and proposals that emerge from the RDA Working Groups. Getting attention and bringing others on board is a real challenge, and Social Marketing offers a number of strategies for achieving these while respecting the cultures and dynamics of the research environment. We’ll explore key steps in defining, prioritizing, and reaching audiences that most need to hear about the efforts of your Working Group. We’ll also talk about how to frame your offering in a way that resonates with the intended audience, how best to reach them, and how to build an action plan for getting the attention and engagement you need. Please join us. This webinar is designed for the Chairs and Members of the RDA Working and Interest Groups, but all are welcome to attend.

The observations were motivated by the need to know the polarization properties of radio sources at frequencies of tens of GHz in order to subtract polarized foregrounds for future sensitive Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments. The total intensity and polarization measurements are generally consistent with comparable VLA calibration measurements for less-variable sources, and within a similar range to WMAP fluxes for unresolved sources. A further paper will present correlations between measured parameters and derive implications for CMB measurements.

description: We present the rest-frame optical spectrum of a strongly lensed galaxy at redshift z =1.7 behind the cluster Abell 1689. We detect the temperature sensitive auroral line [O III] 4363, which allows the first direct metallicity measurement for galaxies at z > 1. Our high signal-to-noise spectrum indicates that the target is an extremely low metallicity star-forming galaxy.We estimate an intrinsic absolute B band magnitude of M_{B}=-18.3 \pm 0.1$, with a stellar mass of 4.4$\pm1.2\times10^{8}$ M$_{\odot}$. This galaxy extends the luminosity-metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies at z > 2 by more than an order of magnitude. Given the double-nuclei like morphology and velocity profile of \ha, we tentatively suggest that it could be a merger or a proto-rotating disk galaxy.

Advancing the use of airborne laser scanning in habitat research : a case study modelling Marbled Murrelet nesting habitat in British Columbia
Creators: name: Cosgrove, Cameron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The Earth is facing a biodiversity crisis, with over one million species at risk of extinction. To inform recovery actions for threatened species, statistical models are used to predict and understand the habitat required for species survival. Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data (a lidar technology) is proving increasingly useful for modelling habitat, providing detailed 3D environmental information. In British Columbia, the prediction of marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus, hereafter ‘murrelet’) nesting habitat is of considerable interest. Murrelets are threatened seabirds that nest in large trees along the Pacific coast. This habitat has severely declined due to industrial logging and fine-scale maps of remaining nesting areas are needed to inform recovery actions. This thesis is composed of two complementary research chapters. First, I investigate how ALS technology can be used to advance habitat modelling. I synthesize the available approaches to infer habitat characteristics with ALS and provide a non-technical overview of processing options and data considerations. I advocate for the use of ALS predictors that capture the specific resources, risks, and conditions that directly determine habitat suitability. In doing so, habitat models can be tailored to a species’ ecology and test a wider range of biologically realistic species-environment relationships. Second, I apply these approaches to model murrelet habitat. Two rare-species modelling approaches - ensembles of small models (ESMs) and maximum entropy modelling (MaxEnt) - were evaluated to link 58 nests with ALS and non-ALS predictors at a 100 m resolution in Desolation Sound (DS). An independent model transfer was conducted in Clayoquot Sound (CS), with 21 nests. A MaxEnt model using two ALS predictors (forest vertical complexity and the volume of internal forest gaps) was identified as the best model, achieving good performance in DS (AUC = 0.77, Boyce index = 0.99) and reasonable performance in CS (AUC = 0.63, Boyce index = 0.67). On average, the most suitable habitat was found in small clusters (< 2 ha) of older forest. This thesis addresses the need for fine-scale maps of murrelet nesting habitat, providing a quantitative, ecologically justified model that can be used for conservation decision-making.

Pursuing a Single Mission (or Something Closer to It) for the IRS
Creators: name: Hickman, Kristin E.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2016

description: It is often said that taxes are the lifeblood of government. As the nation’s tax collector, the IRS serves a critical function without which the federal government would cease to function. Yet the IRS is an agency in crisis—mired in scandal, chronically underfunded, overreliant on automation, and failing to provide taxpayers with the support they need to comply with the tax laws and pay their taxes. This Essay argues that a major contributor to the IRS’s woes is Congress’s penchant in recent decades for utilizing the IRS to administer social welfare and regulatory programs that are only tangentially related to the IRS’s traditional revenue raising mission. This Essay examines the consequences of that choice and calls for reforming the IRS’s organizational structure to segregate the revenue collection function from the biggest and most politically fraught social welfare and regulatory programs that currently fall within the IRS’s jurisdiction. To that end, this Essay suggests giving serious consideration either to spinning off several non-revenue raising programs from IRS oversight or to splitting up the IRS altogether and distributing its many functions among other new or existing agencies.

Pion form factor from local-duality QCD sum rule

description: We present our recent results for the pion elastic form factor [1] obtained within a local-duality three-point sum rule (a Borel sum rule in the limit of an infinite Borel parameter). Our analysis includes the O(1) and O(α_s) contributions and is therefore applicable in a broad range of spacelike momentum transfers. Our results demonstrate in essentially model-independent way that the O(1) term, which provides the subleading 1/Q^4 power correction at asymptotically large momentum transfers, contributes more than half of the pion form factor in the region Q^2 \le 20 GeV^2. To probe the accuracy of local-duality sum rules for form factors, we apply precisely the same procedures to extract the form factor in a quantum-mechanical potential model. Comparison of the exact form factor known in this model with the result of the sum-rule calculation gives a probe of the systematic error of the method. In our example this error is found to be at the level of 10-20%. We expect similar systematic errors for form factors obtained from local-duality sum rules in QCD.

description: The use of solid timber for building construction is regulated - amongst others - by various standards regarding the physical properties of wood. In this long-term monitoring project of an office building in Austria, the relationship between the currently required theoretical target for heat transmission based on national code and the actual state of the construction is derived. The transient hygrothermal behavior of its exterior walls as well as of the different space-enclosing surfaces made of cross laminated timber (CLT) is being monitored and analyzed on the basis of everyday conditions. The focus of this paper is on the transmission heat loss through the nine-layer CLT construction which does not have any additional insulation layers. The results after one year of monitoring indicate a measured U-value that is lower than the one calculated according to current code. Particular attention was paid to the selection of the data in order to achieve the most accurate results possible. This shows the importance of sensor positioning, monitoring of moisture content and fairly long, undisturbed test periods with significant temperature differences between inside and outside. This paper therefore serves two purposes: It supports the proposal for a reduction in the current coefficient of thermal conductivity for CLT, and provides helpful information for future monitoring projects in order to further examine our findings.

description: Markov categories are a recent categorical approach to the mathematical foundations of probability and statistics. Here, this approach is advanced by stating and proving equivalent conditions for second-order stochastic dominance, a widely used way of comparing probability distributions by their spread. Furthermore, we lay foundation for the theory of comparing statistical experiments within Markov categories by stating and proving the classical Blackwell-Sherman-Stein Theorem. Our version not only offers new insight into the proof, but its abstract nature also makes the result more general, automatically specializing to the standard Blackwell-Sherman-Stein Theorem in measure-theoretic probability as well as a Bayesian version that involves prior-dependent garbling. Along the way, we define and characterize representable Markov categories, within which one can talk about Markov kernels to or from spaces of distributions. We do so by exploring the relation between Markov categories and Kleisli categories of probability monads.

“From Contested Concept to Cornerstone of Administrative Practice”: Social Learning and the Early History of U.S. Tax Withholding
Creators: name: Mehrota, Ajay K.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2016

description: The process of establishing a stable and effective system of taxation is a hallmark of nearly all modern states. Indeed, securing the ability to tax is a sine qua non of the historical process of state-building. From ancient Athens to the modern United States, nearly all societies have been concerned with the process of successfully collecting tax revenues. One critical concern that all taxing authorities face is limiting the “tax gap”— the difference between what should be paid voluntarily and on time and the amount that is actually paid. Among the many modern administrative innovations adopted to facilitate effective tax compliance, arguably none has been more significant than the use of thirdparty reporting and tax withholding. Since at least the early nineteenth century, when Great Britain first adopted a crude form of withholding as part of its national income tax, governments have increasingly relied on harnessing the knowledge and power of third parties to increase income tax compliance. As a result, employers, financial institutions, and business corporations have become instrumental remittance vehicles and reporting agents for nearly all modern taxing agencies.

description: We report an observation of X-ray emission from the exciting region of Cepheus A with the Chandra/ACIS instrument. What had been an unresolved X-ray source comprising the putative power sources is now resolved into at least 3 point-like sources, each with similar X-ray properties and differing radio and submillimeter properties. The sources are HW9, HW3c, and a new source that is undetected at other wavelengths "h10." They each have inferred X-ray luminosities >= 10^31 erg s^-1 with hard spectra, T >= 10^7 K, and high low-energy absorption equivalent to tens to as much as a hundred magnitudes of visual absorption. The star usually assumed to be the most massive and energetic, HW2, is not detected with an upper limit about 7 times lower than the detections. The X-rays may arise via thermal bremsstrahlung in diffuse emission regions associated with a gyrosynchrotron source for the radio emission, or they could arise from powerful stellar winds. We also analyzed the Spitzer/IRAC mid-IR observation from this star-formation region and present the X-ray results and mid-IR classifications of the nearby stars. HH 168 is not as underluminous in X-rays as previously reported.

description: Gilny’s study considers how Indonesian emergency nurses sustain themselves personally and professionally in their work and care. Using both constructivist grounded theory methodology and situational analysis, Gilny constructed a substantive grounded theory entitled: Achieving personal and professional sustainability. The theory explained a number of strategies used by emergency nurses and the social processes of being sustainable. The theory will contribute to further improvement in the sustainability of the emergency nursing workforce and has important implications for emergency nursing practice, nursing education, nursing management, and future research.

description: Counterfactual quantum key distribution protocols allow two sides to establish a common secret key using an insecure channel and authenticated public communication. As opposed to many other quantum key distribution protocols, part of the quantum state used to establish each bit never leaves the transmitting side, which hinders some attacks. We show how to adapt detector blinding attacks to this setting. In blinding attacks, gated avalanche photodiode detectors are disabled or forced to activate using bright light pulses. We present two attacks that use this ability to compromise the security of counterfactual quantum key distribution. The first is a general attack but technologically demanding (the attacker must be able to reduce the channel loss by half). The second attack could be deployed with easily accessible technology and works for implementations where single photon sources are approximated by attenuated coherent states. The attack is a combination of a photon number splitting attack and the first blinding attack which could be deployed with easily accessible technology. The proposed attacks show counterfactual quantum key distribution is vulnerable to detector blinding and that experimental implementations should include explicit countermeasures against it.

subject: Other biomedical and clinical sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Within Australia the coroner has an important role in investigation of certain deaths. This investigation can inform the delivery of safe patient care. There are a group of deaths within healthcare settings that should be reported to the coroner by the clinical staff. This thesis examines the understanding of clinical staff as to which deaths meet the criteria for reporting and also the importance of the independent review by the coroner.
Get it together : video game play in and out of school
Creators: name: Perry, Nora
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study examines early elementary participants’ reported experiences playing video games at home, and how that may impact their gameplay in a school setting. While there is much research regarding the use of video games in the classroom for various ages of students and in an array of subjects, none of the research identified in this thesis account for the participants’ prior at-home experience with video games. This qualitative research study used short paired interviews with six-year-olds to provide prior, outside of school gameplay understandings for a larger research project on in school gameplay. Seventeen participants were interviewed on their at-home play experiences, and all but two had previous experience playing video games at home. Key findings from this research include: fourteen out of fifteen participants who play video games have played multiplayer party video games, participants are playing with male family members 2.5 times more than with female family members, and male participants talked 2 times more than female participants when interviewed in mixed gender pairs. These insights demonstrate the substantial proportion of young school age children who are playing games at home, which then influences their ability to learn new games in school with minimal guidance, and teach each others play tactics and strategies. This also demonstrates ongoing stereotypes with respect to gender roles and video gameplay, and that children are both understanding and are adopting these roles at an early age.

description: A rich variety of physical effects in spin dynamics arises at the interface between different magnetic materials. Engineered systems with interlaced magnetic structures have been used to implement spin transistors, memories and other spintronic devices. However, experiments in solid state systems can be difficult to interpret because of disorder and losses. Here, we realize analogues of magnetic junctions using a coherently-coupled mixture of ultracold bosonic gases. The spatial inhomogeneity of the atomic gas makes the system change its behavior from regions with oscillating magnetization -- resembling a magnetic material in the presence of an external transverse field -- to regions with a defined magnetization, as in magnetic materials with a ferromagnetic anisotropy stronger than external fields. Starting from a far-from-equilibrium fully polarized state, magnetic interfaces rapidly form. At the interfaces, we observe the formation of short-wavelength magnetic waves. They are generated by a quantum torque contribution to the spin current and produce strong spatial anticorrelations in the magnetization. Our results establish ultracold gases as a platform for the study of far-from-equilibrium spin dynamics in regimes that are not easily accessible in solid-state systems.

A Partial Defense of the IRS as Health Care Agency
Creators: name: Monahan, Amy B.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2016

description: Despite the fact that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) is overburdened and struggling to meet the needs of taxpayers, Congress continues to add to IRS responsibilities in areas that appear far removed from the agency’s core revenue raising function. The Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) is a commonly cited example of the non-revenue raising regulatory roles the IRS is increasingly asked to play, to the criticism of many. After providing an historical overview of the IRS’s involvement in health care regulation, the article provides a partial defense of the expanded role that the IRS has been given as a result of the ACA. The article concludes that much of the IRS’s involvement in health care regulation appears not only defensible, but efficient. For better or for worse, there is no better system for processing payments to or from a large number of taxpayers than the federal income tax system. Additionally, the use of excise taxes to shape taxpayer behavior appears to offer the best of both worlds: a powerful incentive that requires very few enforcement resources. The article concludes, however, that significant burden could be removed from the IRS by modifying or removing the IRS’s substantive rulemaking authority with respect to health care matters, deferring instead to other federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, that have particular health policy expertise.

“The Better Part of Valour Is Discretion”: Should the IRS Change or Surrender Its Oversight of Tax-Exempt Organizations?
Creators: name: Mayer, Lloyd Hitoshi
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law

description: Recent events have highlighted the difficulties the Internal Revenue Service faces when attempting to ensure that purportedly tax-exempt organizations in fact qualify for that status. The problems in this area go much deeper than a group of IRS employees subjecting certain organizations to greater scrutiny based on their political leanings, however. For decades members of the public, the media, the academy, and Congress have criticized the limited ability of the IRS to ensure that organizations claiming exemption from federal income tax in fact deserve that categorization. Yet examples of IRS failings in this area continue to arise with depressing frequency. This is not surprising given that oversight of exempt organizations is but one of many areas that suffers from major difficulties faced by the IRS as a whole, including shrinking resources, growing responsibilities, and increasing responsibility for determinations that go beyond those necessary for revenue collection. This Article draws on tax compliance literature to explore how the current level and methods of oversight for exempt organizations could be modified to improve compliance even given the existing resource constraints. It concludes that while marginal improvements in oversight are possible, there is no silver bullet to counter the IRS’s growing inability to oversee this area. Part IV of this Article therefore turns to more radical proposals that would move the locus of oversight for exempt and particularly charitable organizations out of the IRS. The proposal that shows the most promise, but also is the most risky, would shift much of this role to a private, self-regulatory body overseen by the IRS. Given the current state of IRS oversight, this proposal deserves serious consideration.

description: We explore the analytic properties of the density function $ h(x;γ,α) $, $ x \in (0,\infty) $, $ γ> 0 $, $ 0 < α< 1 $ which arises from the domain of attraction problem for a statistic interpolating between the supremum and sum of random variables. The parameter $ α$ controls the interpolation between these two cases, while $ γ$ parametrises the type of extreme value distribution from which the underlying random variables are drawn from. For $ α= 0 $ the Fréchet density applies, whereas for $ α= 1 $ we identify a particular Fox H-function, which are a natural extension of hypergeometric functions into the realm of fractional calculus. In contrast for intermediate $ α$ an entirely new function appears, which is not one of the extensions to the hypergeometric function considered to date. We derive series, integral and continued fraction representations of this latter function.
