description: We have applied the infrared surface brightness (ISB) technique to derive distances to 13 Cepheid variables in the LMC which have periods from 3-42 days. The corresponding absolute magnitudes define PL relations in VIWJK bands which agree exceedingly well with the corresponding Milky Way relations obtained from the same technique, and are in significant disagreement with the observed LMC Cepheid PL relations, by OGLE-II and Persson et al., in these bands. Our data uncover a systematic error in the p-factor law which transforms Cepheid radial velocities into pulsational velocities. We correct the p-factor law by requiring that all LMC Cepheids share the same distance. Re-calculating all Milky Way and LMC Cepheid distances with the revised p-factor law, we find that the PL relations from the ISB technique both in LMC and in the Milky Way agree with the OGLE-II and Persson et al. LMC PL relations, supporting the conclusion of no metallicity effect on the slope of the Cepheid PL relation in optical/near infrared bands.

Implementing “insider” ethnography : lessons from the Public Conversations about HIV/AIDS project in rural South Africa
Creators: name: Angotti, Nicole

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: We describe the conceptualization and implementation of a research methodology in which “insider” community members work with “outsider” investigators as participant observers to document everyday conversations taking place in public settings in their communities. Our study took place in a resource-poor area of rural South Africa and focused on HIV/AIDS, yet we aim here to provide a road map for those interested in implementing this approach in other contexts for various empirical ends. Because this approach is unusual, we highlight considerations in selecting a team of ethnographers, describe the training process, and offer ways to ensure the data collected are trustworthy and confidential. We describe the advantages and limitations of utilizing “insider ethnography” in contexts where being indigenous to the study site provides access to perspectives that cannot be obtained through other methods. Finally, we examine how mutuality and the positionality of the research team affect data collection and quality.

description: The manuscript addresses a highly significant problem of contemporary scientific research, namely their interdisciplinarity, known in the Polish language also as międzydyscyplinarność – crossing traditional boundaries between academic disciplines, as well as analyzes similar categories of multidisciplinarity (referred to as multitude of disciplines) and trans-disciplinarity, with special emphasis put on practicing pedagogy and solving problems linked with upbringing. In order to avoid vagueness and to characterize the specificity of particular types of dialog in science, i.e. interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary or trans-disciplinary dialogs, the article focuses first on elucidation of particular terms and on depicting the main pathways of their understanding as well ad indicates the most common procedure of exploiting research results achieved in one discipline of science by another discipline, thus making the first inferior and ancillary to the other. Differences in the perception of events and phenomena and these in constructing our observations induce a need for dialog – being of importance also in the field of science. In addition, results obtained at a given moment in a given science can never be perceived as some absolute certainty, for they are always generated in a specified time, and with specified, historically established and determined theories or concepts of upbringing. However, there are certain prerequisites for the dialog to shift from the phase of ordinary communication to the phase of effective collaboration, including in particular generation of such products of researches, categories and concepts that would be applicable also in another discipline. This would, however, require the real reform of the knowledge system of particular disciplines, starting as early as from their studying under academic determinants.

description: An individual person during his life will experience feelings of both happiness and suffering. Happiness can be when a person is healthy, successful and achieving things that he holds dear. This is because he is called upon by God to happiness both in this life and in the eternal. On the other hand suffering is when failure, disasters, illness and death happen. In a person's lifetime the ability to endure pain must therefore be learnt. When this is achieved, with the intention of so wanting to, the suffering then ceases. Thus, a person who genuinely suffers becomes happy.

description: South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV in the world (over 6 million) as well as a rapidly aging population, with 15% of the population aged 50 and over. High HIV prevalence in rural former apartheid homeland areas suggests substantial aging with HIV and acquisition of HIV at older ages. We develop a life course approach to HIV vulnerability, highlighting the rise and fall of risk and protection as people age, as well as the role of contextual density in shaping HIV vulnerability. Using this approach, we draw on an innovative multi-method data set collected within the Agincourt Health and Demographic Surveillance System in South Africa, combining survey data with 60 nested life history interviews and 9 community focus group interviews. We examine HIV risk and protective factors among adults aged 40–80, as well as how and why these vary among people at older ages.

description: Entrepreneurship brings economic growth and development through the process of venture creation. These new business enterprises have a very important and positive impact on employment generation, poverty alleviation, and socio-economic development. Entrepreneurship education influences the attitude and behavior of students to form intentions of self-employability. We have analyzed the literature to clearly understand the relationship between entrepreneurship education and intentionality and the underlying mechanisms through which entrepreneurship education impacts intentions to start new ventures. By utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), we propose that entrepreneurship education increases students’ perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived desirability for starting new ventures. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability in turn impact and increase students’ entrepreneurial intentions for creating new ventures. Entrepreneurship Education Programs (EEPs) focusing “Education for entrepreneurship” have more influence on intentionality through self-efficacy and desirability. Comparatively, EEPs concentrating on “Education about entrepreneurship” will have less impacts on the intentionality. The study has important theoretical and practical implications for researchers, academicians, policy makers and potential entrepreneurs – the students.

description: We present nearly 500 days of observations of the tidal disruption event ASASSN-18pg, spanning from 54 days before peak light to 441 days after peak light. Our dataset includes X-ray, UV, and optical photometry, optical spectroscopy, radio observations, and the first published spectropolarimetric observations of a TDE. ASASSN-18pg was discovered on 2018 July 11 by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) at a distance of $d=78.6$ Mpc, and with a peak UV magnitude of $m\simeq14$ it is both one of the nearest and brightest TDEs discovered to-date. The photometric data allow us to track both the rise to peak and the long-term evolution of the TDE. ASASSN-18pg peaked at a luminosity of $L\simeq2.2\times10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$, and its late-time evolution is shallower than a flux $\propto t^{-5/3}$ power-law model, similar to what has been seen in other TDEs. ASASSN-18pg exhibited Balmer lines and spectroscopic features consistent with Bowen fluorescence prior to peak which remained detectable for roughly 225 days after peak. Analysis of the two-component H$α$ profile indicates that, if they are the result of reprocessing of emission from the accretion disk, the different spectroscopic lines may be coming from regions between $\sim10$ and $\sim60$ light-days from the black hole. No X-ray emission is detected from the TDE and there is no evidence of a jet or strong outflow detected in the radio. Our spectropolarimetric observations give no strong evidence for significant asphericity in the emission region, with the emission region having an axis ratio of at least $\sim0.65$.

description: Public health research has shown that neighborhood conditions are associated with health behaviors and outcomes. Systematic neighborhood audits have helped researchers measure neighborhood conditions that they deem theoretically relevant but not available in existing administrative data. Systematic audits, however, are expensive to conduct and rarely comparable across geographic regions. We describe the development of an online application, the Computer Assisted Neighborhood Visual Assessment System (CANVAS), that uses Google Street View to conduct virtual audits of neighborhood environments. We use this system to assess the inter-rater reliability of 187 items related to walkability and physical disorder on a national sample of 150 street segments in the United States. We find that many items are reliably measured across auditors using CANVAS and that agreement between auditors appears to be uncorrelated with neighborhood demographic characteristics. Based on our results we conclude that Google Street View and CANVAS offer opportunities to develop greater comparability across neighborhood audit studies.

description: The distribution of resistance fluctuations of conducting thin films with granular structure near electrical breakdown is studied by numerical simulations. The film is modeled as a resistor network in a steady state determined by the competition between two biased processes, breaking and recovery. Systems of different sizes and with different levels of internal disorder are considered. Sharp deviations from a Gaussian distribution are found near breakdown and the effect increases with the degree of internal disorder. However, we show that in general this non-Gaussianity is related to the finite size of the system and vanishes in the large size limit. Nevertheless, near the critical point of the conductor-insulator transition, deviations from Gaussianity persist when the size is increased and the distribution of resistance fluctuations is well fitted by the universal Bramwell-Holdsworth-Pinton distribution.

title: Online Language Teacher Skills and Roles in an Audio-Graphic Conferencing Classroom
Creators: name: Li, Chenxi (Cecilia)
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Many institutions and individual teachers are moving from traditional face-to-face classrooms to online teaching. Traditional classroom language teachers need to understand why online teaching is different from classroom teaching before they acquire new skills and explore new pedagogies for online teaching. This study aims to identify the differences between teaching online and in face-to-face classrooms, and explore what new skills and roles beginner online language teachers need to develop in order to become successful language teachers in online classrooms. Audio-graphic conferencing classrooms are usually a basic form of online teaching and the starting point for many face-to-face teachers to move to online teaching. This study collects data from an OU-Live EAP tutorial in the Open University UK. Four critical incidents were selected from an online tutorial and analysed through multimodal discourse analysis based on the Model of Instructor Roles by Berge (2005) and the Skills Pyramid by Hampel and Stickler (2005). A video-stimulated recall interview was conducted to elicit the online tutor’s rationale for his actions in the four critical incidents. The major findings of the study include: (a) three major differences between teaching online and in face-to-face classrooms, including technical differences, lack of non-verbal cues, and multimodality in online learning environments; (b) two suggestions for the Skills Pyramid on ‘dealing with the possibilities and constraints of the system’ and ‘online socialization skill’ (Hampel and Stickler, 2005); and (c) two suggestions for the Model of Instructor Roles the on pedagogical role and the technical role of online language teachers (Berge, 1995). Recommendations for online teacher training and future research topics are presented in the end.

description: Are the accounting reports to be prepared on a yearly basis suitable for indicating problems, possibly for informing the stakeholders about the declining phase of an enterprise? The information needs of the various market operators are different thus the question is whether the management of an enterprise or possibly the owners place an emphasis on the adequate information. We examine the issue of social responsibility from a special approach in which, in addition to the corporate lifecycle models, there is a focus on the information content of the Hungarian and international accounting reports, moreover the content of the further report that is to be prepared but does not form a part of the accounting report. The aim of our research is to compare the notes and the further reports which meet the Hungarian, Rumanian, Slovakian and international standards and corroborate the quantitative data of the accounting report. By paralleling the notes and the further reports, we draw attention to the fact that one of the most important accounting principles i.e. the going concern concept, which the other principles are based on, will be (or will likely be) affected insofar as content of the enterprises’ reports does not comply with the legislation. In addition to the addressees of accounting, the authors point at the issue of social responsibility based on those similarities which can be observed in the relations of the value-oriented corporate governance.

description: We analyse the eastern region of a $5^\circ\times5^\circ$ deep HI survey of the M81 group containing the dwarf galaxy IC 2574 and the HI complex HIJASS J1021+68, located between the dwarf and the M81 system. The data show that IC 2574 has an extended HI envelope that connects to HIJASS J1021+68 in the form of a collection of small clouds, but no evident connection has been found between IC 2574 and the central members of the M81 group. We argue, based on the morphology of the clouds forming HIJASS J1021+68 and its velocity distribution, that the complex is not a dark galaxy as previously suggested, but is instead a complex of clouds either stripped from, or falling onto the primordial HI envelope of IC 2574. We also use the deep HI observations to map the extended HI envelope around IC 2574 and, using a 3D tilted-ring model, we derive the rotation curve of the galaxy to a larger extent than has been done before. Combining the obtained rotation curve to higher resolution curves from the literature, we constrain the galaxy's dark matter halo parameters.

description: Building on our previous hydrodynamic study of the angular momenta of cloud cores formed during gravitational collapse of star-forming molecular gas in our previous work, we now examine core properties assuming ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Using the same sink-patch implementation for the \emph{Athena} MHD code, we characterize the statistical properties of cores, including the mass accretion rates, specific angular momenta, and alignments between the magnetic field and the spin axis of the core on the $0.1 \ \mathrm{pc}$ scale. Our simulations, which reproduce the observed relation between magnetic field strength and gas density, show that magnetic fields can help collimate low density flows and help seed the locations of filamentary structures. Consistent with our previous purely hydrodynamic simulations, stars (sinks) form within the heterogeneous environments of filaments, such that accretion onto cores is highly episodic leading to short-term variability but no long-term monotonic growth of the specific angular momenta. With statistical characterization of protostellar cores properties and behaviors, we aim to provide a starting point for building more realistic and self-consistent disk formation models, helping to address whether magnetic fields can prevent the development of (large) circumstellar disks in the ideal MHD limit.

description: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) captures the temporal dynamics of neural activity as a function of spatial location in the brain. Thus, fMRI scans are represented as 4-Dimensional (3-space + 1-time) tensors. And it is widely believed that the spatio-temporal patterns in fMRI manifests as behaviour and clinical symptoms. Because of the high dimensionality ($\sim$ 1 Million) of fMRI, and the added constraints of limited cardinality of data sets, extracting such patterns are challenging. A standard approach to overcome these hurdles is to reduce the dimensionality of the data by either summarizing activation over time or space at the expense of possible loss of useful information. Here, we introduce an end-to-end algorithm capable of extracting spatiotemporal features from the full 4-D data using 3-D CNNs and 3-D Convolutional LSTMs. We evaluate our proposed model on the publicly available ABIDE dataset to demonstrate the capability of our model to classify Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from resting-state fMRI data. Our results show that the proposed model achieves state of the art results on single sites with F1-scores of 0.78 and 0.7 on NYU and UM sites, respectively.

description: Special conformal field theories can have symmetry groups which are interesting sporadic finite simple groups. Famous examples include the Monster symmetry group of a $c=24$ two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) constructed by Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman, and the Conway symmetry group of a $c=12$ CFT explored in detail by Duncan and Mack-Crane. The Mathieu moonshine connection between the K3 elliptic genus and the Mathieu group $M_{24}$ has led to the study of K3 sigma models with large symmetry groups. A particular K3 CFT with a maximal symmetry group preserving $(4,4)$ superconformal symmetry was studied in beautiful work by Gaberdiel, Taormina, Volpato, and Wendland. The present paper shows that in both the GTVW and $c=12$ theories the construction of superconformal generators can be understood via the theory of quantum error correcting codes. The automorphism groups of these codes lift to symmetry groups in the CFT preserving the superconformal generators. In the case of the $N=1$ supercurrent of the GTVW model our result, combined with a result of T. Johnson-Freyd implies the symmetry group is the maximal subgroup of $M_{24}$ known as the sextet group. (The sextet group is also known as the holomorph of the hexacode.) Building on \cite{gtvw} the Ramond-Ramond sector of the GTVW model is related to the Miracle Octad Generator which in turn leads to a role for the Golay code as a group of symmetries of RR states. Moreover, $(4,1)$ superconformal symmetry suffices to define and decompose the elliptic genus of a K3 sigma model into characters of the $N=4$ superconformal algebra. The symmetry group preserving $(4,1)$ is larger than that preserving $(4,4)$.

description: We show that the nonlinear I-V characteristics of mesoscopic samples with metallic conductivity should contain parts which are linear in the magnetic field and quadratic in the electric field. These contributions to the current are entirely due to the electron-electron interaction and consequently they are proportional to the electron-electron interaction constant. We also note that both the amplitude and the sign of the current exhibit random oscillations as a function of temperature.

description: In many developing countries including Tanzania, food insecurity and child malnutrition remain persistent problems. Globally about 155 million children under age five are stunted, which is the result of chronic malnutrition; more than one third of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (UNICEF, WHO, and World Bank Group 2017). Malnutrition is a leading cause of child mortality, making children more vulnerable to severe diseases. Approximately 45% of global deaths of children under age five are linked to malnutrition and the mortality rate of children in SSA is the highest in the world (Black et al. 2013; Fund UNCS 2014). Tanzania is the third worst affected country in SSA with respect to child malnutrition, exceeded only by Ethiopia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Muhimbula and IssaZacharia 2010).

description: By embedding Einstein's original formulation of GR into a broader context we show that a dynamic covariant description of gravitational stress-energy emerges naturally from a variational principle. A tensor $T^G$ is constructed from a contraction of the Bel tensor with a symmetric covariant second degree tensor field $Φ$ and has a form analogous to the stress-energy tensor of the Maxwell field in an arbitrary space-time. For plane-fronted gravitational waves helicity-2 polarised (graviton) states can be identified carrying non-zero energy and momentum.

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.

description: The momentum amplituhedron is a positive geometry encoding tree-level scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills directly in spinor-helicity space. In this paper we classify all boundaries of the momentum amplituhedron $\mathcal{M}_{n,k}$ and explain how these boundaries are related to the expected factorization channels, and soft and collinear limits of tree amplitudes. Conversely, all physical singularities of tree amplitudes are encoded in this boundary stratification. Finally, we find that the momentum amplituhedron $\mathcal{M}_{n,k}$ has Euler characteristic equal to one, which provides a first step towards proving that it is homeomorphic to a ball.

description: Public health research has shown that neighborhood conditions are associated with health behaviors and outcomes. Systematic neighborhood audits have helped researchers measure neighborhood conditions that they deem theoretically relevant but not available in existing administrative data. Systematic audits, however, are expensive to conduct and rarely comparable across geographic regions. We describe the development of an online application, the Computer Assisted Neighborhood Visual Assessment System (CANVAS), that uses Google Street View to conduct virtual audits of neighborhood environments. We use this system to assess the inter-rater reliability of 187 items related to walkability and physical disorder on a national sample of 150 street segments in the United States. We find that many items are reliably measured across auditors using CANVAS and that agreement between auditors appears to be uncorrelated with neighborhood demographic characteristics. Based on our results we conclude that Google Street View and CANVAS offer opportunities to develop greater comparability across neighborhood audit studies.

description: Agricultural intensification is one of the top priorities of the Malian government. Following the food and oil price crisis in 2007-08, the Malian government have since launched a fertilizer subsidy program. The main objectives of the program are to boost national agricultural productivity through increased use of fertilizer and thereby, improve food and nutrition security. The program specifically targets cotton, maize, millet, sorghum, wheat and rice crops. Fertilizer subsidies are the largest expense items, accounting for about 25% of the total rural and agricultural budget (Theriault, Smale, and Assima, Forthcoming). Yet, there is little empirical evidence of the impact of the fertilizer subsidy program on any outcomes, including fertilizer use and productivity.
High-Performance High-Order Stencil Computation on FPGAs Using OpenCL

description: In this paper we evaluate the performance of FPGAs for high-order stencil computation using High-Level Synthesis. We show that despite the higher computation intensity and on-chip memory requirement of such stencils compared to first-order ones, our design technique with combined spatial and temporal blocking remains effective. This allows us to reach similar, or even higher, compute performance compared to first-order stencils. We use an OpenCL-based design that, apart from parameterizing performance knobs, also parameterizes the stencil radius. Furthermore, we show that our performance model exhibits the same accuracy as first-order stencils in predicting the performance of high-order ones. On an Intel Arria 10 GX 1150 device, for 2D and 3D star-shaped stencils, we achieve over 700 and 270 GFLOP/s of compute performance, respectively, up to a stencil radius of four. These results outperform the state-of-the-art YASK framework on a modern Xeon for 2D and 3D stencils, and outperform a modern Xeon Phi for 2D stencils, while achieving competitive performance in 3D. Furthermore, our FPGA design achieves better power efficiency in almost all cases.

title: Characterization of the Molecular Mechanism of the Tissue-Specific and Developmentally Regulated Alternative Splicing of SCN9A Exon 5
Creators: name: Chiavelli, Chiara
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: The voltage-gated sodium channel Nav 1.7, encoded by SCN9A gene, is expressed in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and in sympathetic ganglia and it is considered to be one of the major player in the regulation of pain perception. The linkage to several human pain disorders confirms its pivotal role in pain pathway. The gene contains an exon 5 pair, 5N and 5A, that are mutually exclusive spliced. These exons encode part of the voltage sensor of the channel; although the alternative splice variants differ by only two amino acids, they differentially affect the amplitude of the currents generated and the excitability of nociceptive neurons. In this study I mapped some of the splicing regulatory elements that determine SCN9A exon 5 developmentally regulated mutually exclusive splicing. In the first stages of development, characterized by a major inclusion of the neonatal form, ETR3 plays an essential role acting on both sides, favouring 5N and inhibiting 5A inclusion. For the switching towards a major inclusion of exon 5A some elements have been identified. Fox1 helps the recognition of the weak 5A 5' splice site, interacting with four cis-acting elements downstream of exon 5A. Furthermore an exonic splicing enhancer (ESE), bound by SRSF1 and SRSF6, improves the usage of 5A weak 3' splice site. At the same time 5N inclusion is inhibited by the presence of two silencers, one exonic recognized by PTB and one intronic close to 5N 5' splice site. The duplication of this exon is well conserved in six out of nine voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) genes and some elements mapped for SCN9A gene display a great homology in other family members. The investigation of possible common factors reveals some interesting results: for example the ESE in the adult form is present in at least other three VGSCs.
