description: The retrospective model of voting holds that parties are elected based on their perceived competence in government and punished for incompetence. This theory is complicated in contexts of multilevel governance as it requires attributing responsibility to a particular party in a particular level of government. This paper tests the extent to which this model explains public opinion in a multilevel context (Scotland) on a high-stakes valence issue (the coronavirus pandemic). Using British Election Study Internet Panel data from 2019 to 2021, it assesses how the public responded to the perceived competence of the Scottish Government and British Government. The results find that for each Government those voters who rated their handling of the pandemic more highly increased their liking of the governing party and its leader. Further, those voters who thought a Government had performed well were more likely to switch towards supporting the party in power, but this depended on how much they previously liked that party. Similarly, increases in support for Scottish independence from the UK came from those voters who not only judged the Scottish Government to have handled the pandemic well, but also previously liked the SNP prior to the pandemic.

description: Abstract: "We consider the design issues of characterizing and appropriately choosing the quality of a product for maximum customer satisfaction and maximum corporate profit. We assume that the basic design configuration of a product is determined and that the designer must select the product quality by imposing statistical tolerances (manufacturing accuracy specifications) and choosing appropriate manufacturing processes. We claim that these design considerations, although often neglected, impact the behavior, cost, and even marketability of the product. A design concept without these specifications is incomplete because i) its feasibility is questionable ii) its cost of production is undetermined iii) its performance is unknown.The design process is seen here as an exploratory activity constrained by the manufacturing systems available. In particular, we provide a decision-analytic methodology to reason about the quality of product and the influences on profit resulting in a specification of manufacturing process and machine accuracy to match customer demands. The method has been implemented and applied to the design of a simple three component assembly to illustrate its capabilities."

description: We demonstrate that a quasi-two-dimensional spin-1 condensate quenched to a ferromagnetic phase undergoes universal coarsening in its late time dynamics. The quench can be implemented by a sudden change in the applied magnetic field and, depending on the final value, the ferromagnetic phase has easy-axis (Ising) or easy-plane (XY) symmetry, with different dynamical critical exponents. Our results for the easy-plane phase reveal a fractal domain structure and the crucial role of polar-core spin vortices in the coarsening dynamics.

description: João Ferreira d'Almeida foi o primeiro tradutor da Bíblia para a língua portuguesa, no séc. XVII. O seu Novo Testamento foi publicado em 1681, em Batávia, actual Jacarta, onde Almeida viveu grande parte da sua vida. Esta primeira Bíblia passou,mais tarde, da Ásia para Portugal e daí para os países de língua portuguesa. Teve até hoje umas 2000 edições, num total de uns 150 000 000 de exemplares, o que faz deste tradutor o mais produtivo da língua portuguesa. É praticamente a única Bíblia editada pelos protestantes de língua portuguesa, mas o seu autor e a sua obra guardava ainda muitos mistérios, antes deste estudo.

description: Abstract: "This paper is Part II of a study advocating the use of the scientific method for conducting design research. Part I critically reviewed General Design Theory (GDT) -- a formal theory of design -- and discussed its influence on the construction of design support systems. This part presents an experimental system built based on the guidelines set by GDT. It evaluates the experimental system and comparesthe theory and the experimental approaches. The comparison generates recommendations for enhancements of the experimental system and refinements to the theory. These recommendations complete a single, successful scientific cycle of this research. The recommendations that are grounded in testings show the benefits from subscribing to the scientific method of conducting design research."

description: Mobility is an essential factor that prevents postoperative complications. Patients of all ages are at risk of postoperative complications, from clotting to muscle wasting. Remaining sedentary after surgery can increase morbidity and mortality, leading to deterioration and even death. Alongside the importance of early mobility, it is crucial that any form of ambulation is recorded. Documentation plays a major role in communication between members of the multidisciplinary team. Accurate documentation provides information in a timely and effective manner, keeping all staff on the same page and eliminating the risk of mistakes and misconduct. This quality improvement project aims to improve the documentation of postoperative mobility in patients who have received an oesophagectomy or gastrectomy who were enrolled in an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery programme. The data from the project revealed a reduced level of mobility documentation in postoperative patients, particularly on postoperative day three and onwards. It was also made evident that mobility was being recorded by healthcare professionals only, with no patient-led, autonomous documentation. Using the Lean Six Sigma framework and several quality improvement tools, the root cause for the lack of mobility documentation was identified. Recommendations of this project include the implementation of a patient mobility diary. A mobility diary could improve documentation of mobility while simultaneously providing autonomy to the patient. Implementation of this improvement would encourage the quality, patient-centred care desired by the Irish healthcare system.

description: The famous least squares Monte Carlo (LSM) algorithm combines linear least square regression with Monte Carlo simulation to approximately solve problems in stochastic optimal stopping theory. In this work, we propose a quantum LSM based on quantum access to a stochastic process, on quantum circuits for computing the optimal stopping times, and on quantum techniques for Monte Carlo. For this algorithm, we elucidate the intricate interplay of function approximation and quantum algorithms for Monte Carlo. Our algorithm achieves a nearly quadratic speedup in the runtime compared to the LSM algorithm under some mild assumptions. Specifically, our quantum algorithm can be applied to American option pricing and we analyze a case study for the common situation of Brownian motion and geometric Brownian motion processes.

description: Concurrent autonomous self-test, or online self-test, allows a system to test itself, concurrently during normal operation, with no system downtime visible to the end-user. Online self-test is important for overcoming major reliability challenges such as early-life failures and circuit aging in future System-on-Chips (SoCs). To ensure required levels of overall reliability of SoCs, it is essential to apply online self-test to uncore components, e.g., cache controllers, DRAM controllers, and I/O controllers, in addition to processor cores. This is because uncore components can account for a significant portion of the overall logic area of a multi-core SoC. In this paper, we present an efficient online self-test technique foruncore components in SoCs. We achieve extremely high test coverage by storing high-quality testpatterns in off-chip non-volatile storage. However, a simple technique that stalls the uncore-component-under-test can result in significant system performance degradation or even visible systemunresponsiveness. Our new techniques overcome these challenges and enable cost-effective onlineself-test of uncore components through three special hardware features: 1. resource reallocation and sharing (RRS); 2. no-performance-impact testing; and, 3. smart backups. Implementation of online self-test for uncore components of the open-source OpenSPARC T2 multi-core SoC, using a combination of these three techniques, achieves high test coverage at < 1% area impact, < 1% power impact, and < 3% system-level performance impact. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of our techniques.

description: Retention errors, caused by charge leakage over time, are the dominant source of flash memory errors. Understanding, characterizing, and reducing retention errors can significantly improve NAND flash memory reliability and endurance. In this paper, we first characterize, with real 2y-nm MLC NAND flash chips, how the threshold voltage distribution of flash memory changes with different retention age – the length of time since a flash cell was programmed. We observe from our characterization results that 1) the optimal read reference voltage of a flash cell, using which the data can be read with the lowest raw bit error rate (RBER), systematically changes with its retention age, and 2) different regions of flash memory can have different retention ages, and hence different optimal read reference voltages. Based on our findings, we propose two new techniques. First, Retention Optimized Reading (ROR) adaptively learns and applies the optimal read reference voltage for each flash memory block online. The key idea of ROR is to periodically learn a tight upper bound, and from there approach the optimal read reference voltage. Our evaluations show that ROR can extend flash memory lifetime by 64% and reduce average error correction latency by 10.1%, with only 768 KB storage overhead in flash memory for a 512 GB flash-based SSD. Second, Retention Failure Recovery (RFR) recovers data with uncorrectable errors offline by identifying and probabilistically correcting flash cells with retention errors. Our evaluation shows that RFR reduces RBER by 50%, which essentially doubles the error correction capability, and thus can effectively recover data from otherwise uncorrectable flash errors

description: Phase-change memory (PCM), a promising candidate for next-generation non-volatile memories, exploits quenched glassy and thermodynamically stable crystalline states as reversibly switchable state variables. We demonstrate PCM functions emerging from a charge-configuration degree of freedom in strongly correlated electron systems. Non-volatile reversible switching between a high-resistivity charge-crystalline (or charge-ordered) state and a low-resistivity quenched state, charge glass, is achieved experimentally via heat pulses supplied by optical or electrical means in organic conductors $θ$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$$X$. Switching that is one order of magnitude faster is observed in another isostructural material that requires faster cooling to kinetically avoid charge crystallization, indicating that the material's critical cooling rate can be useful guidelines for pursuing a faster correlated-electron PCM function.

description: To investigate the psychometric properties of the MOSE-Benin, a French-language version of the Measure of Stroke Environment (MOSE) for Sub-Saharan Africa. The original English version of the MOSE has been translated into French following the guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation. The resulting questionnaire (MOSE-Benin) was administered to a convenience sample of participants recruited in Benin, a French-speaking country. Eighty-two stroke survivors (41 females; mean ± SD: 54.94 ± 11.6 years old) participated in the study. Internal consistency of each domain of the MOSE-Benin and the overall questionnaire was high (Cronbach’s α: 0.78 to 0.92). Test-retest reliability was excellent (n = 31; ICC: 0.977 to 0.998). Overall, the standard error of measurement (SEM) and the minimum detectable change (MDC) showed very low values (SEM = 0.85; MDC = 2.35). Convergent validity demonstrated moderate correlations for the three domains in separate comparison respectively with the ACTIVLIM-Stroke questionnaire, the Participation Measurement Scale, and the communication domain of the Stroke Impact Scale (r or ρ: 0.42 to 0.54; p < 0.0001). MOSE-Benin has good evidence regarding psychometric properties (i.e., content validity, convergent validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability) that can support its use for the assessment of perceived environmental barriers after stroke in a French-speaking Sub-Saharan African country, such as Benin. Stroke survivors in French-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa may face environmental challenges related to acceptability, physical environment, and communication.Stroke survivors should be assessed in their communities to identify environmental barriers, using valid and robust tools.A French version of the MOSE (MOSE-Benin) is now available and can be used to assess the environmental concerns faced by stroke survivors in Sub-Saharan Africa.

description: Within an agent-based model where moral classifications are socially learned, we ask if a population of agents behaves in a way that may be compared with conservative or liberal positions in the real political spectrum. We assume that agents first experience a formative period, in which they adjust their learning style acting as supervised Bayesian adaptive learners. The formative phase is followed by a period of social influence by reinforcement learning. By comparing data generated by the agents with data from a sample of 15000 Moral Foundation questionnaires we found the following. 1. The number of information exchanges in the formative phase correlates positively with statistics identifying liberals in the social influence phase. This is consistent with recent evidence that connects the dopamine receptor D4-7R gene, political orientation and early age social clique size. 2. The learning algorithms that result from the formative phase vary in the way they treat novelty and corroborative information with more conservative-like agents treating it more equally than liberal-like agents. This is consistent with the correlation between political affiliation and the Openness personality trait reported in the literature. 3. Under the increase of a model parameter interpreted as an external pressure, the statistics of liberal agents resemble more those of conservative agents, consistent with reports on the consequences of external threats on measures of conservatism. We also show that in the social influence phase liberal-like agents readapt much faster than conservative-like agents when subjected to changes on the relevant set of moral issues. This suggests a verifiable dynamical criterium for attaching liberal or conservative labels to groups.

description: The paper studies the problem of distributed average consensus in sensor networks with quantized data. We consider two versions of the algorithm: unbounded quantizers and bounded quantizers. To achieve consensus, dither (small noise) is added to the sensor states before quantization. We show by stochastic approximation techniques that consensus is asymptotically achieved to a finite random variable. We then study analytically the tradeoffs between how far away is this limiting random variable from the desired average, the consensus convergence rate, the quantizer parameters, and the network topology. We cast these tradeoff issues as an optimal quantizer design that we solve. A numerical study illustrates the design tradeoffs.

O rei é pródigo em elogios à sua própria bravura, exaltando o auxílio que houve do seu divino pai, Amon. No entanto, lendo entre as linhas dos dois textos, apercebemo-nos de que Ramsés não conseguiu sair vitorioso deste prélio e foi incapaz de tomar Kadesh. Tendo ambos os adversários optado por uma espécie de empate, o status quo ante bellum foi mantido.

Measurement of the correlation between flow harmonics of different order in lead-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: Correlations between the elliptic or triangular flow coefficients $v_m$ ($m$=2 or 3) and other flow harmonics $v_n$ ($n$=2 to 5) are measured using $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV Pb+Pb collision data collected in 2010 by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated lumonisity of 7 $μ$b$^{-1}$. The $v_m$-$v_n$ correlations are measured in midrapidity as a function of centrality, and, for events within the same centrality interval, as a function of event ellipticity or triangularity defined in a forward rapidity region. For events within the same centrality interval, $v_3$ is found to be anticorrelated with $v_2$ and this anticorrelation is consistent with similar anticorrelations between the corresponding eccentricities $ε_2$ and $ε_3$. On the other hand, it is observed that $v_4$ increases strongly with $v_2$, and $v_5$ increases strongly with both $v_2$ and $v_3$. The trend and strength of the $v_m$-$v_n$ correlations for $n$=4 and 5 are found to disagree with $ε_m$-$ε_n$ correlations predicted by initial-geometry models. Instead, these correlations are found to be consistent with the combined effects of a linear contribution to $v_n$ and a nonlinear term that is a function of $v_2^2$ or of $v_2v_3$, as predicted by hydrodynamic models. A simple two-component fit is used to separate these two contributions. The extracted linear and nonlinear contributions to $v_4$ and $v_5$ are found to be consistent with previously measured event-plane correlations.

The electron power dissipation and energy relaxation time due to both half-space and interface phonons are calculated as functions of the electron temperature $T_e$ using a variety of phonon lifetime values from experiment, and then compared with those evaluated by the 3DP model. The 3DP model yields very close results to the DC model: with no hot phonons or screening the power loss calculated from the 3DP model is 5% smaller than the DC power dissipation, whereas slightly larger 3DP power loss (by less than 4% with a phonon lifetime from 0.1 to 1 ps) is obtained throughout the electron temperature range from room temperature to 2500 K after including both the hot-phonon effect (HPE) and screening. Very close results are obtained also for energy relaxation time with the two phonon models (within a 5% of deviation). However the 3DP model is found to underestimate the HPE by 9%. The Mori-Ando sum rule is restored by which it is proved that the power dissipation values obtained from the DC and 3DP models are in general different in the pure phonon emission process, except when scattering with interface phonons is sufficiently weak, or when the degenerate modes condition is imposed, which is also consistent with Register's scattering rate sum rule. Our calculation with both phonon models has obtained a great fall in energy relaxation time at low electron temperatures ($T_e

description: Este artigo tem como objectivo indagar a problemática questão filosófica: Fé ou razão?A nossa análise incide particularmente no pensamento moderno, com efeito, analisaremos autores como Kant, Hegel e Kierkegaard. Apresentando o existencialismo de Kierkegaard, em oposição ao criticismo de Kant e idealismo de Hegel, este estudo procura demonstrar que a racionalidade não compromete a fé. Não existem dois caminhos, em qualquer dualismo, apenas uma tensão entre o conhecimento adquirido eo conhecimento revelado.

description: Object detection systems based on the deep convolutional neural network (CNN) have recently made ground- breaking advances on several object detection benchmarks. While the features learned by these high-capacity neural networks are discriminative for categorization, inaccurate localization is still a major source of error for detection. Building upon high-capacity CNN architectures, we address the localization problem by 1) using a search algorithm based on Bayesian optimization that sequentially proposes candidate regions for an object bounding box, and 2) training the CNN with a structured loss that explicitly penalizes the localization inaccuracy. In experiments, we demonstrated that each of the proposed methods improves the detection performance over the baseline method on PASCAL VOC 2007 and 2012 datasets. Furthermore, two methods are complementary and significantly outperform the previous state-of-the-art when combined.

description: São várias as teses que correm sobre as razões que impediram ou retardaram a difusão das ideias da Reforma, em Portugal. Porém, uma atenta leitura de muitos dos factos sociais, ocorridos nos espaços sob soberania da coroa portuguesa, desde o século XVI até aos temerários passos dados pelo Rev. Kalley, já em meados do século XIX – para cuja reflexão poderão concorrer estas notas –, constituem indícios consistentes que nos forçam a acreditar que, também em Portugal, desde o início, correram esses «novos ventos» da religião reformada. Apesar da apertada de vigilância, quer das inquisitoriais cautelas, que propunham a cega defesa da doutrina da fé institucionalizada, quer das suspeitosas dúvidas que sempre acompanhavam as ideias de mudança, esses «ventos» chegavam e manifestavam-se, ora envoltos de sinais de contradição e contestação social, importados por via daqueles cuja mobilidade os aproximara dos meios fulcrais europeus onde ocorriam as grandes transformações, ora veiculados pelos agentes da inovação, que, através das naus das demandas e nos portos nacionais de transvaze, juntamente com as mercadorias, deixavam também a atrevida crítica dos olhares e a arriscada inquietação do questionamento.

description: In this correspondence, we present an algorithm for distributed sensor localization with noisy distance measurements (DILAND) that extends and makes the DLRE more robust. DLRE is a distributed sensor localization algorithm in Rm (m≥1) introduced in \cite{usman_loctsp:08}. DILAND operates when (i) the communication among the sensors is noisy; (ii) the communication links in the network may fail with a non-zero probability; and (iii) the measurements performed to compute distances among the sensors are corrupted with noise. The sensors (which do not know their locations) lie in the convex hull of at least m+1 anchors (nodes that know their own locations.) Under minimal assumptions on the connectivity and triangulation of each sensor in the network, this correspondence shows that, under the broad random phenomena described above, DILAND converges almost surely (a.s.) to the exact sensor locations.
Well-posedness for a Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard System for Incompressible Two-phase Flows with Surfactant

description: We investigate a diffuse-interface model that describes the dynamics of incompressible two-phase viscous flows with surfactant. The resulting system of partial differential equations consists of a sixth-order Cahn-Hilliard equation for the difference of local concentrations of the binary fluid mixture coupled with a fourth-order Cahn-Hilliard equation for the local concentration of the surfactant. The former has a smooth potential, while the latter has a singular potential. Both equations are coupled with a Navier-Stokes system for the (volume averaged) fluid velocity. The evolution system is endowed with suitable initial conditions, a no-slip boundary condition for the velocity field and homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions for the phase functions as well as for the chemical potentials. We first prove the existence of a global weak solution, which turns out to be unique in two dimensions. Stronger regularity assumptions on the initial data allow us to prove the existence of a unique global (resp. local) strong solution in two (resp. three) dimensions. In the two dimensional case, we can derive a continuous dependence estimate with respect to the norms controlled by the total energy. Then we establish instantaneous regularization properties of global weak solutions for $t>0$. In particular, we show that the surfactant concentration stays uniformly away from the pure states $0$ and $1$ after some positive time.

description: We investigate the skyrmion formation process in nano-structured FeGe Hall-bar devices by measurements of topological Hall effect, which extracts the winding number of a spin texture as an emergent magnetic field. Step-wise profiles of topological Hall resistivity are observed in the course of varying the applied magnetic field, which arise from instantaneous changes in the magnetic nano-structure such as creation, annihilation, and jittering motion of skyrmions. The discrete changes in topological Hall resistivity demonstrate the quantized nature of emergent magnetic flux inherent in each skyrmion, which had been indistinguishable in many-skyrmion systems on a macroscopic scale.

On factorization invariants and Hilbert functions

description: Nonunique factorization in cancellative commutative semigroups is often studied using combinatorial factorization invariants, which assign to each semigroup element a quantity determined by the factorization structure. For numerical semigroups (additive subsemigroups of the natural numbers), several factorization invariants are known to admit predictable behavior for sufficiently large semigroup elements. In particular, the catenary degree and delta set invariants are both eventually periodic, and the omega-primality invariant is eventually quasilinear. In this paper, we demonstrate how each of these invariants is determined by Hilbert functions of graded modules. In doing so, we extend each of the aforementioned eventual behavior results to finitely generated semigroups, and provide a new framework through which to study factorization structures in this setting.

Supported Education: Bereitschaft zur Ausbildung von Jugendlichen mit Beeinträchtigung bei Arbeitgebenden – eine qualitative Untersuchung
Creators: name: Weingartner, Sarina

description: Jugendliche mit Beeinträchtigung haben Schwierigkeiten, einen Ausbildungsplatz im ersten Arbeitsmarkt zu finden und absolvieren deshalb die berufliche Grundbildung oft im geschützten Arbeitsmarkt. Der Ansatz Supported Education versucht die Lücke zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Arbeitsmarkt zu schliessen, indem Jugendliche mit Beeinträchtigung ausschliesslich auf dem ersten Arbeitsmarkt mit Unterstützung von Job Coaches ausgebildet werden. Die Umsetzung von Supported Education bedingt aber eine Ausbildungsbereitschaft von Arbeitgebenden des ersten Arbeitsmarktes, wobei in den letzten Jahren keine Forschungen zu diesem Thema veröffentlicht wurden. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, welche Rahmenbedingungen und welche Voraussetzungen der Jugendlichen die Ausbildungsbereitschaft von Arbeitgebenden aus ihrer Sicht begünstigen oder hemmen, Jugendliche mit Beeinträchtigung und Supported Education auszubilden. Dafür wurden fünf Interviews mit Supported Education erfahrenen Arbeitgebenden geführt und mittels strukturierender qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Untersuchung zeigt auf, dass insbesondere die Haltung der Vorgesetzten gegenüber Supported Education, eine passende Tätigkeit, ausreichend personelle Ressourcen und finanzielle Unterstützung der Invalidenversicherung die Ausbildungsbereitschaft begünstigen. Gleichzeitig kristallisieren sich weitere begünstigende, aber auch hemmende Faktoren auf Ebene der Jugendlichen und des Jobcoachings heraus, die in dieser Arbeit umfassend dargestellt werden. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie Job Coaches ihre Tätigkeit mit Hilfe der Perspektive der Arbeitgebenden professionalisieren können und welche Aufgaben im Zusammenhang mit den Ergebnissen für die Soziale Arbeit, Job Coaches und weitere Akteure anstehen.
