Contextualizing “China’s Foreign Aid”: A Mixed-Method Synthesis on the Recent State of Debate on the Concepts and Criticisms of China’s Foreign Aid from 2005-2020
Creators: name: Huang, Chen
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: This paper compares how Chinese and international scholars conceptualize China’s foreign aid. By analyzing recent Chinese and English journal articles on China’s foreign aid, this paper addresses the communication and research gaps between Chinese scholars and non Chinese scholars. This paper applies the general principle of systematic review to select eligible studies. It further combines content analysis and thematic analysis to figure out research topics and publication trends and compare scholars’ key viewpoints on the definition, motivation, implementation modes, and impacts of China’s foreign aid. The review synthesis results of this paper suggest that: (1) China’s foreign aid activities in the 21st century straddle the boundary between ODA-like state finance and other forms of economic cooperation. It will narrow the scope of the definition if scholars make “China’s aid” equivalent to ODA. Measuring the size of China’s aid is challenging because of its vague official definition and unspecified project implementation process. (2) Political and economic interests are two primary drivers of China’s aid allocation. Contemporary China’s aid prioritizes China’s economic interests in the globe while still has strong political preferences. Chinese scholars point out that China sometimes provides aid while sacrificing its own domestic development. (3) China’s infrastructure and construction projects attract the most international attention on account of their large project size and prominent diplomatic significance. International scholars show interest in examining the role of China’s State Owned-Enterprise in China’s large-scale project implementation process, while Chinese scholars point out that private companies and provincial institutions also play significant roles in China’s aid. (4) China’s commercially based aid and development model has proved to have remarkable and positive economic impacts on the recipient countries. However, China’s terms and principles of aid delivery may neglect local citizens’ welfare and interests and may show a certain nonchalance to important local governance issues. International scholars generally - 3 -hold critical attitudes toward China’s rise as a new donor. While debunking adverse claims on China’s aid from the western media, they also point out that China’s aid model has made some traditional donors reconsider their past theories and practice of aid and development. Chinese scholars affirm that China is not meant to challenge or join the existing OECD-DAC aid regime, while they also acknowledge that China’s aid policies and governance still have many drawbacks and require improvements.

description: Hard-real time systems have consistently proven to be some of the most difficult for successful software implementation. Attributes often associated with the intractable nature of real-time are concurrency, severe timing constraints, the complexity of real-world devices, and limited resources. In this experiment, an actual embedded hard real-time application (Inertial Navigation Set, AN/WSN-5) is simulated and ported to a variety of target processors. The effort is specifically directed at investigating the capability of ADA for providing program development solutions in the hard real-time regime. Special emphasis is focused on applying the built-in concurrency capabilities of ADA. The effort contends with typical cross-targeting issues such as board-level execution and memory configuration, device communications, and runtime debugging of the application. This report presents the top-level design of the application and addresses the solution in terms of a concurrency abstraction. Beginning with a classical data flow analysis of the requirements ADA tasks are derived from analyzable categories, specifically periodics, aperiodics, and servers. This classification scheme is predicated on work actively being conducted on a scheduling technique that quantifies the effect of task preemption and blocking, behavior fundamental to the concept of parallelism in ADA. In a corollary report, a schedulability analysis of the INS is described within the framework of the task set developed in this top-level design.

description: Programmatically, an IED (improvised explosive device) is an unintended consequence or impediment that can blow up a development program. Large-scale systems (LSS) being acquired by the Department of Defense (DoD) are frequently exemplified by the creation of multiple prime items, acquired under separate contract. The multiple prime items are often controlled by different organizations, with attendant variations in timelines and funding stability. In most cases, each of the prime items is software-intensive. LSS are encountered in several domains, including space-based systems and multi-platform systems such as the Army's Future Combat System. These are often referred to as transformational systems. The concepts of time certain development and incremental deployment of capabilities would appear to represent a fundamental change in the programmatic environment in which LSS are acquired. Such programs need a "roadmap" for acquisition that addresses this new environment. This paper explores how continued use of the existing acquisition roadmaps opens up the potential for running into program pitfalls (programmatic IEDs) that aren't acknowledged on the map at hand.

description: Gyratonic pp-waves are exact solutions of Einstein's equations that represent non-linear gravitational waves endowed with angular momentum. We consider gyratonic pp-waves that travel in the $z$ direction and whose time dependence on the variable $u={1 \over \sqrt{2}}(z-t)$ is given by gaussians, so that the waves represent short bursts of gravitational radiation propagating in the $z$ direction. We evaluate numerically the geodesics and velocities of free particles in the space-time of these waves, and find that after the passage of the waves both the kinetic energy and the angular momentum per unit mass of the particles are changed. Therefore there is a transfer of energy and angular momentum between the gravitational field and the free particles, so that the final values of the energy and angular momentum of the free particles may be smaller or larger in magnitude than the initial values.

description: We show that at the prime 2, for any height $h$ and any finite subgroup $G \subset \mathbb{G}_h$ of the Morava stabilizer group, the $RO(G)$-graded homotopy fixed point spectral sequence for the Lubin--Tate spectrum $E_h$ has a strong horizontal vanishing line of filtration $N_{h, G}$, a specific number depending on $h$ and $G$. It is a consequence of the nilpotence theorem that such homotopy fixed point spectral sequences all admit strong horizontal vanishing lines at some finite filtration. Here, we establish specific bounds for them. Our bounds are sharp for all the known computations of $E_h^{hG}$. Our approach involves investigating the effect of the Hill--Hopkins--Ravenel norm functor on the slice differentials. As a result, we also show that the $RO(G)$-graded slice spectral sequence for $(N_{C_2}^{G}\bar{v}_h)^{-1}BP^{(\!(G)\!)}$ shares the same horizontal vanishing line at filtration $N_{h, G}$. As an application, we utilize this vanishing line to establish a bound on the orientation order $Θ(h, G)$, the smallest number such that the $Θ(h, G)$-fold direct sum of any real vector bundle is $E_h^{hG}$-orientable.

description: How should a robot speak in a formal, quiet and dark, or a bright, lively and noisy environment? By designing robots to speak in a more social and ambient-appropriate manner we can improve perceived awareness and intelligence for these agents. We describe a process and results toward selecting robot voice styles for perceived social appropriateness and ambiance awareness. Understanding how humans adapt their voices in different acoustic settings can be challenging due to difficulties in voice capture in the wild. Our approach includes 3 steps: (a) Collecting and validating voice data interactions in virtual Zoom ambiances, (b) Exploration and clustering human vocal utterances to identify primary voice styles, and (c) Testing robot voice styles in recreated ambiances using projections, lighting and sound. We focus on food service scenarios as a proof-of-concept setting. We provide results using the Pepper robot's voice with different styles, towards robots that speak in a contextually appropriate and adaptive manner. Our results with N=120 participants provide evidence that the choice of voice style in different ambiances impacted a robot's perceived intelligence in several factors including: social appropriateness, comfort, awareness, human-likeness and competency.

Subjects: Women farmers

description: This dissertation is concerned with the production of gender and gender identities among women in a setting, the family farm, where traditional strategies of gender production such as bodily displays and the division of labor are significantly challenged. The first chapter uses both survey data and qualitative interview data to examine how involvement in farming and ranching affects how feminine or masculine women feel they are and how they feel they compare to their perception of society’s ideal woman. The results indicate that increased involvement is associated with feeling more masculine and feeling larger discrepancies between self and society’s ideal woman. They also reveal that many of the women try to formulate an alternative version of femininity (“capable femininity”) that incorporates their farm and ranch work, but are ultimately held accountable for the more traditional version of femininity that has previously
description: been termed “emphasized femininity.” The second chapter examines how the farm/ranch women “do gender” in the farm/ranch setting. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses show that they rely heavily on “gender products” to symbolize their femininity even when the “doing” of the tasks that produce them are long past. These findings suggest that the intensive focus by gender scholars on the “doing” has obscured elements that are equally important, and perhaps growing in importance, in the production of gender. The third chapter tests whether gender mediates previously reported negative relationships between farm/ranch stressors and well-being and positive relationships between social and personal resources and well-being. This chapter also examines how gender is related to farm women’s depression and self-esteem. The results indicate that gender has effects on well-being independent of either stressors or resources, and, with a few small exceptions, does not mediate the relationships between these variables and well-being.

description: La popularidad de los videojuegos va en ascendencia en los últimos años, con la llegada de la pandemia y la accesibilidad de consolas. De este modo se da paso a pensarse estos como espacios sociales que permiten y facilitan la interacción. Así, el presente estudio investiga acerca de las dinámicas que se hacen presentes al jugar videojuegos entre amigos y desconocidos en espacios de cooperación y competencia, si los videojuegos pueden formar vínculos o aportar positivamente a vínculos existentes y qué papel juega la cognición social en estos procesos. La investigación es de tipo exploratoria, con un enfoque mixto utilizando como técnicas: el cuestionario CEMCA, la observación y la entrevista. La muestra fue de 24 jóvenes, divididos en 12 parejas de amigos y desconocidos. Los resultados mostraron que los amigos presentan más conductas prosociales al jugar competitivamente, mientras que los desconocidos muestran más al jugar cooperativamente, en ambos casos la risa afiliativa es la conducta más presentada. Adicionalmente, se ve nula la correlación entre la formación de vínculos y la cognición social. De este modo, la investigación ilustra los videojuegos como potenciadores de las dinámicas sociales, da paso a la conversación y a la creación de vínculos futuros, además genera naturalmente conductas propias de la cognición social.
description: The popularity of videogames has been increasing in the last years, with the pandemic’s arrival and the console accessibility. Thereby, the way is given to think about them as social spaces which allow and motivate interaction. Thus, the current study investigates about the dynamics that are present when playing videogames between Friends and strangers in cooperative and competitive modes, also if videogames can produce social bonds or affect positively already existing bonds and which is social cognition’s role. The investigation is classified as exploratory, with a mixed focus using techniques such as: CEMCA questionnaire, observation and interviews. The sample consisted of 24 younglings divided between friends and strangers in 12 dyads. The results revealed that friends show more prosocial conducts when playing competitively, opposite to strangers which showed more prosocial conducts when playing cooperatively; in both cases the affiliative laughter is the most shown conduct. In addition, there was no correlation between bond formation and social cognition. In this manner, the research illustrates videogames as social dynamics enhancer, giving way for conversation and future bonding, also naturally generating conducts related to social cognition.

description: We show that electrowetting (EW) with structured electrodes significantly modifies the distribution of drops condensing onto flat hydrophobic surfaces by aligning the drops and by enhancing coalescence. Numerical calculations demonstrate that drop alignment and coalescence are governed by the drop size-dependent electrostatic energy landscape that is imposed by the electrode pattern and the applied voltage. Such EW-controlled migration and coalescence of condensate drops significantly alter the statistical characteristics of the ensemble of droplets. The evolution of the drop size distribution displays self-similar characteristics that significantly deviate from classical breath figures on homogeneous surfaces once the electrically-induced coalescence cascades set in beyond a certain critical drop size. The resulting reduced surface coverage, coupled with earlier drop shedding under EW, enhances the net heat transfer.

description: In this paper, we present {\tt SMKA18} analysis which is a first attempt to extract the set of next-to-next-leading-order (NNLO) spin-dependent parton distribution functions (spin-dependent PDFs) and their uncertainties determined through the Laplace transform technique and Jacobi polynomial approach. Using the Laplace transformations, we present an analytical solution for the spin-dependent Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations at NNLO approximation. The results are extracted using a wide range of proton $g_1^{p}(x, Q^2)$, neutron $g_1^{n}(x, Q^2)$ and deuteron $g_1^{d}(x, Q^2)$ spin-dependent structure functions dataset including the most recent high-precision measurements from {\tt COMPASS16} experiments at CERN which are playing an increasingly important role in global spin-dependent fits. The careful estimations of uncertainties have been done using the standard 'Hessian error' propagation. We will compare our results with the available spin-dependent inclusive deep inelastic scattering dataset and other results for the spin-dependent PDFs in literature. The results obtained for the spin-dependent PDFs as well as spin-dependent structure functions are clearly explained both in the small and large values of $x$.

description: This report explores achieving interoperability in the acquisition process. It asserts that interoperability applies to the management and construction of a system, as well as to its operation. This idea leads to a broader view of interoperability. Also presented is the idea that the essential character of interoperability—related to data models and operational semantics—is independent of a domain of application. This report lists a number of basic assertions that can help organizations achieve interoperability in the acquisition process. A number of related key issues are also examined. Ultimately, it is expected that achieving interoperability will depend on a formal specification of acquisition.

description: We establish a unified framework for Majorana-based fault-tolerant quantum computation with Majorana surface codes and Majorana color codes. All logical Clifford gates are implemented with zero time overhead. This is done by introducing a protocol for Pauli product measurements with tetrons and hexons which only requires local 4-Majorana parity measurements. An analogous protocol is used in the fault-tolerant setting, where tetrons and hexons are replaced by Majorana surface code patches, and parity measurements are replaced by lattice surgery, still only requiring local few-Majorana parity measurements. To this end, we discuss twist defects in Majorana fermion surface codes and adapt the technique of twist-based lattice surgery to fermionic codes. Moreover, we propose a new family of codes that we refer to as Majorana color codes, which are obtained by concatenating Majorana surface codes with small Majorana fermion codes. Majorana surface and color codes can be used to decrease the space overhead and stabilizer weight compared to their bosonic counterparts.

In order to better address the possible mechanism in tumorigenesis caused by Pim kinases, p21Cip1/WAF was studied as one of the prominent substrates of Pim kinases. As a continuation of previous results, the thesis mainly tries to explore the functional consequences after Pim kinases phosphorylate p21Cip1/WAF1. In a non-small cell lung carcinoma cell line, H1299, overexpression of Pim-1 has been shown to influence the stability, cellular localization of p21 and subsequently promotes cell proliferation. While in a human colon cancer cell line, HCT116, enforced expression of Pim-2 kinase causes the stabilization of p21Cip1/WAF1 in the nucleus which promotes cell survival after cells have been sensitized to apoptosis by simultaneous overexpression of c-myc during DNA damage. In addition, the thesis provides preliminary evidence that Pim kinases phosphorylate c-Myc and stabilize it. These results may partially explain the synergistic activity between c-Myc and Pim kinases in tumorigenesis.

description: The Incident Management Mission Diagnostic (IMMD) is a risk-based approach for determining the potential for success of an organization's incident management capability (IMC). This potential for success is based on a finite set of current conditions-a limited set of key drivers used to estimate the current IMC health relative to a defined benchmark. Decision-makers can then determine if the current state of the IMC is acceptable, or if actions are required to improve the situation. The IMMD can be viewed as an efficient, first-pass screening of an IMC to diagnose any unusual circumstances that might affect its potential for success. This document can be read for understanding of the concepts and activities of this method, or to learn how to perform the IMMD. The method description includes full descriptions of all activities as well as a set of worksheets and instructions for executing the method.

description: Pese a que el surgimiento del constitucionalismo, como una forma de entender las relaciones normativas y de la comunidad política, partió de la convicción de limitar el poder, no todos los sistemas normativos reconocidos como constitucionales se han estructurado de igual manera. Incluso, una visión histórica del constitucionalismo clásico occidental permitiría mostrar diferencias sustanciales entre los modelos y los mecanismos que han sido formulados para que esa limitación del poder pueda ser efectiva. Sin embargo, más allá de las lecturas transformadoras y las producciones no exactamente foráneas, el ejercicio de control constitucional en el contexto colombiano –mínimamente en lo reciente– ha estado mediado por la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional y la doctrina que dicho tribunal ha creado. Situación que da fe de las modificaciones, formales e informales, que ha sufrido el sistema de fuentes, y lo distante que resulta el sistema jurídico del país a esa clasificación tradicionales de sistema legislado.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Detecting the Rise and Fall of 21 cm Fluctuations with the Murchison Widefield Array

description: We forecast the sensitivity with which the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) can measure the 21 cm power spectrum of cosmic hydrogen, using radiative transfer simulations to model reionization and the 21 cm signal. The MWA is sensitive to roughly a decade in scale (wavenumbers of k ~ 0.1 - 1 h Mpc^{-1}), with foreground contamination precluding measurements on larger scales, and thermal detector noise limiting the small scale sensitivity. This amounts primarily to constraints on two numbers: the amplitude and slope of the 21 cm power spectrum on the scales probed. We find, however, that the redshift evolution in these quantities can yield important information about reionization. Although the power spectrum differs substantially across plausible models, a generic prediction is that the amplitude of the 21 cm power spectrum on MWA scales peaks near the epoch when the intergalactic medium (IGM) is ~ 50% ionized. Moreover, the slope of the 21 cm power spectrum on MWA scales flattens as the ionization fraction increases and the sizes of the HII regions grow. Considering detection sensitivity, we show that the optimal MWA antenna configuration for power spectrum measurements would pack all 500 antenna tiles as close as possible in a compact core. The MWA is sensitive enough in its optimal configuration to measure redshift evolution in the slope and amplitude of the 21 cm power spectrum. Detecting the characteristic redshift evolution of our models will confirm that observed 21 cm fluctuations originate from the IGM, and not from foregrounds, and provide an indirect constraint on the volume-filling factor of HII regions during reionization. After two years of observations under favorable conditions, the MWA can constrain the filling factor at an epoch when ~ 0.5 to within roughly +/- 0.1 at 2-sigma.

description: What are the distinct ways in which a set of predictor variables can provide information about a target variable? When does a variable provide unique information, when do variables share redundant information, and when do variables combine synergistically to provide complementary information? The redundancy lattice from the partial information decomposition of Williams and Beer provided a promising glimpse at the answer to these questions. However, this structure was constructed using a much criticised measure of redundant information, and despite sustained research, no completely satisfactory replacement measure has been proposed. In this paper, we take a different approach, applying the axiomatic derivation of the redundancy lattice to a single realisation from a set of discrete variables. To overcome the difficulty associated with signed pointwise mutual information, we apply this decomposition separately to the unsigned entropic components of pointwise mutual information which we refer to as the specificity and ambiguity. This yields a separate redundancy lattice for each component. Then based upon an operational interpretation of redundancy, we define measures of redundant specificity and ambiguity enabling us to evaluate the partial information atoms in each lattice. These atoms can be recombined to yield the sought-after multivariate information decomposition. We apply this framework to canonical examples from the literature and discuss the results and the various properties of the decomposition. In particular, the pointwise decomposition using specificity and ambiguity satisfies a chain rule over target variables, which provides new insights into the so-called two-bit-copy example.

Upward shower rates at neutrino telescopes directly determine the neutrino flux

description: We show that the rate for upward showers from an isotropic cosmic neutrino flux at neutrino telescopes like IceCube is independent of the neutrino-nucleon cross section. For bins that span a relatively narrow range in energy, neither scaling the cross section, nor changing its power-law energy behavior affects the upward shower rate, which depends only on the flux. The neutrino flux can be completely known since its spectral shape can be determined by comparing the rates in neighboring bins. We also show that the downward shower rate varies linearly with cross section with a proportionality constant determined by the energy-dependence of the cross section, independent of the power-law behavior of the flux. The normalization and energy dependence of the cross section can be known by comparing the downward rates in neighboring bins.
