Assisted Voluntary Return & Reintegration Policies and Programmes in Four EU Countries: France, Germany, Italy and Spain

description: In response to the presence of a significant number of non-EU nationals illegally residing within their borders, EU countries implement forced return policies which, besides being burdensome from both a financial and organisational point of view, can stoke the fires of social and diplomatic tensions as well as, at times, proving problematic in terms of a lack of the appropriate full respect for fundamental human rights. For these reasons, the EU institutions have repeatedly stated that voluntary returns are to be preferred to forced ones. One measure that can concretely encourage voluntary returns is that of Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) programmes, which can be accompanied by initiatives to support the socio-economic reintegration of citizens repatriated to their country of origin. Given the disparity between how European countries conduct AVR programmes and the fact that little research has focused on this topic, the aim of the article is to present policies and procedures for AVR and reintegration adopted by the four largest EU countries: France, Germany, Italy and Spain. These four case studies were conducted by analysing the available documentation and by conducting interviews with stakeholders and individuals responsible for the implementation of AVR activities. The article also offers some remarks on the four cases studied as a whole, with a particular focus on the elements that seem to provide the most significant contribution to the success of these policies.

description: In real industrial processes, fault diagnosis methods are required to learn from limited fault samples since the procedures are mainly under normal conditions and the faults rarely occur. Although attention mechanisms have become popular in the field of fault diagnosis, the existing attention-based methods are still unsatisfying for the above practical applications. First, pure attention-based architectures like transformers need a large number of fault samples to offset the lack of inductive biases thus performing poorly under limited fault samples. Moreover, the poor fault classification dilemma further leads to the failure of the existing attention-based methods to identify the root causes. To address the aforementioned issues, we innovatively propose a supervised contrastive convolutional attention mechanism (SCCAM) with ante-hoc interpretability, which solves the root cause analysis problem under limited fault samples for the first time. The proposed SCCAM method is tested on a continuous stirred tank heater and the Tennessee Eastman industrial process benchmark. Three common fault diagnosis scenarios are covered, including a balanced scenario for additional verification and two scenarios with limited fault samples (i.e., imbalanced scenario and long-tail scenario). The comprehensive results demonstrate that the proposed SCCAM method can achieve better performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods on fault classification and root cause analysis.
Nodal intersections for random waves against a segment on the 3-dimensional torus

description: We consider random Gaussian eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the three-dimensional flat torus, and investigate the number of nodal intersections against a straight line segment. The expected intersection number, against any smooth curve, is universally proportional to the length of the reference curve, times the wavenumber, independent of the geometry. We found an upper bound for the nodal intersections variance, depending on the arithmetic properties of the straight line. The considerations made establish a close relation between this problem and the theory of lattice points on spheres.

description: Active fluctuations are known to play a significant role in the intracellular transport of passive objects. However, the effect of viscoelasticity of the environment in shaping such processes is relatively less understood. Here, with a minimal experiment using a driven colloid in a viscoelastic bath, we show that viscoelasticity significantly increases the mean injected power to the passive object ($\sim 50\%$ compared to a viscous medium), for the same strength of the external driving. Additionally, we observe a notable reduction in negative work fluctuations across a wide range of driving amplitudes. These findings collectively suggest an enhanced directionality in driven processes within a viscoelastic bath, which we attribute to the emergence of interactions between the colloid and the viscoelastic medium.

description: Several recent works suggested the possibility of describing inflation by means of a renormalization group equation. In this paper we discuss the application of these methods to models of quintessence. In this framework a period of exponential expansion corresponds to the slow evolution of the scalar field in the neighborhood of a fixed point. A minimal set of universality classes for models of quintessence is defined and the transition from a matter dominated to quintessence dominated universe is studied. Models in which quintessence is non-minimally coupled with gravity are also discussed. We show that the formalism proves to be extremely convenient to describe quintessence and moreover we find that in most of the models discussed in this work quintessence naturally takes over ordinary matter.

description: In this paper, we performed a spectro-polarimetric analysis of the transient NS-LMXB XTE J1701-462 using IXPE, NICER, and NuSTAR data during its 2022 outburst. We report the significant detection of energy-dependent polarization in the X-ray signal from the source on 2022 September 29 in the $2-4$ keV, $4-8$ keV and $2-8$ keV energy bands with a polarization degree of $3.9 \pm 0.3$% (10.7$σ$), $5.5 \pm 0.6$% (9.1$σ$) and $4.5 \pm 0.4$% (12.6$σ$), respectively. The polarization angle in the overall $2-8$ keV band was found to be $\sim 143^{\circ}\pm 2^{\circ}$. The spectra were modelled using a combination of thermal emission from an accretion disc, Comptonized emission from a hot electron plasma (or corona) and a Gaussian line. From spectro-polarimetric analysis, the polarization degree due to the disc emission was found to have an upper limit of $\sim 11.5$%, and that of the Comptonized emission was constrained at $7.7 \pm 2.5$% (at the 3$σ$ level). The results suggest that the Comptonized component probably originates from a spreading-layer/boundary-layer above the neutron star surface. IXPE observation of the same source on 2022 October 8 does not show significant polarization which can be attributed to a weakening of the coronal Comptonized emission. The implication of these results are discussed.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: Despite large production and exportation of beeswax, the dairy processors import significant amount of wax for hard cheese coating. The drawback of the local beeswax which is being used for hard cheese processing is the cracking nature of the product, which in turn has an influence in the quality of cheese. The rationale of this study is to evaluate the locally available beeswax for hard cheese coating instead of imported wax. This study was conducted at Dairy Development Enterprise. Three samples were used for this study. Two locally available beeswax produced from honeycomb and from 'tej sefef' and one imported wax as a control. The production method, which are very important for a good quality of beeswax are described in view of obtaining maximum quality. The physico-chemical characteristics of beeswax and imported wax are discussed. The mean value of the different parameters of the wax from 'tej sefef' and from honeycomb indeed, within the intervals commonly accepted by different countries specification. Saponification value (102.8500), specific gravity (0.9619), total volatile matter (0.4500) and melting point (64.3333) are slightly higher in wax from 'tej sefef' than wax from honeycomb; 99.7333, 0.9497, 0.3400, 64.1333 respectively. Whereas acid value and ash content are some what higher in wax produced from honeycomb. There was no significant difference between wax from honeycomb and wax from 'tej sefef' .The mean value of the different parameters of imported wax used for cheese coating was not within the interval of commonly accepted by different countries except total volatile matter and ash content. Moreover, there were significant difference between the two beeswax and imported wax. In the case of wax for cheese coating, beeswax produced from 'tej sefef' was cracked. There was significance difference between imported wax and beeswax produced from 'tej sefef' .However, there was no significant difference between imported wax and beeswax produced from honeycomb. The result of the data analysis revealed that beeswax produced from honeycomb gives the most promising result in this study, if the iv optimum processing conditions are maintained to obtain pure beeswax which can meet the standard.
The Diversity That We Love. Commodification and Control of Diversity in Gentrifying Neighbourhoods
Creators: name: Bolzoni, Magda
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: In a time of growing appreciation for urban diversity, consuming ethnic food, sharing the streets with foreign people and showing interest for cultural diversity often operate as a means of social distinction, in particular among the new urban middle classes. Hence, culturally and ethnically diverse atmosphere have come to be considered as an asset for urban branding and neighbourhoods’ regeneration. The implications for those who embody such diversity, however, are often unclear. The paper addresses the ambiguous relationship between diversity and urban upgrading, focusing on the case of Turin and, more specifically, on a mixed neighbourhood that after a period of misfortune has become one of the new trendy spots of the city, also building on its diverse and gritty atmosphere. Bringing together literature on gentrification and social mix, commodification of diversity in urban transformations, and everyday multiculturalism, the paper offers an analysis of practices of negotiation, control and commodification of diversity in different domains of neighbourhood’s life: commercial landscape, public spaces and neighbourhoods’ representations. It argues that middle classes’ love for diversity often appears related to the ability to control it, to decide which kind of diversity is ‘good’ and should be visible and displayed in the neighbourhood space. In this frame, diversity may become a particular kind of commodity, to be consumed in a safe and sanitized environment and the apprec

The proposed learning framework was successfully applied to a complex biped robot model, where the robot was able to maintain balance on a rotating platform. Experiment results also showed that the proposed algorithm was able to generate stable walking gaits for the robot to walk on both static and dynamic platforms without falling down.

The linear case with $k=1$ corresponds to standard permutations of $n$, and the circular case with $n=4$ and $k=6$ corresponds to a three-person chessboard. We give bijections of these rook placements to matrix form, one-line notation, and matchings on certain graphs. Finally, we define chained linear and circular alternating sign matrices, enumerate them for certain values of $n$ and $k$, and give bijections to analogues of monotone triangles, square ice configurations, and fully-packed loop configurations.

Year: 2019

description: Performance appraisal is very important in the army for rewards and promotions which consequently lead to professional and career development, to determine whether military personnel have the capability to accomplish their mission as per their rank and level of training. The main objective of the study was to assess the perception of employees on performance appraisal practice at MGHA Military Academy. The researcher used descriptive survey type the reason that the researchers used descriptive because it describes the nature and characteristics of the population. Census methods were used to collect and analyze data. The data collection tools were interview and questionnaire. Total of 163 questionnaires were distributed to all permanent employees and the response rate was 100%. The researcher mainly deployed mixed type of research approach. SPSS 20 version was used to process the primary data. Interview was also conducted with higher officers. Study found out that MGHA military academy uses PA to measure employees' job performance twice a year. However, MGHA military academy faces huge problems in its performance appraisal practice, mainly in areas such as deficiency of rater capacity to evaluate employee performance, rater bias in evaluating performance, lack of communicating performance standards and expectations to the employees. Moreover, there is absence of employee participation in setting performance evaluation criteria and performance review discussions. In addition to these problems the performance appraisal result of the staff members of the academy does not have any contribution in terms of rewards, incentives, training, promotion and positions. Overall the conclusion of the research confirmed that the performance appraisal practice at MGHA military academy has problems and weaknesses that need to be improved. Finally, recommendations are made based on the result of the study. It was recommended that Performance evaluation criteria should be revised in participation of the employees for they are the actual persons who do the job and evaluated. In order to inform employees who do not know why performance evaluation is conducted the MGHA military academy should create awareness on purpose of performance appraisal. The military academy management should give training to appraisers who are responsible for conducting performance evaluation. These will improvement raters' ability to evaluate and alleviate raters' bias
Towards a Conceptual Framework for Defining Iconic Brands: A Critical Review of Studies
Creators: name: Okoeguale, Anthony
Publisher: name: Italian Sociological Review
Year: 2022

description: Significant academic and managerial interest in brand-consumer relationship has occasioned increasing quantity of literature on the concept. Holt (2004) made a landmark contribution with his conceptualisation of iconic brands, which are arguably aspirational brands. Albeit his works have dominated the discourse on iconic brands, there seem to be more focus on the role of brand owners in defining iconic brands, thus neglecting the place of consumers’ lived experience in the discourse. Recent developments suggest the need for a widening of the conceptual domain to account for the role of consumers’ lived experience in the definition of brands. Consequently, the purpose of this article is to explore the extant literature on the concept of iconic brands in a bid to situate the argument for the inclusion of consumers’ lived experience. The aforementioned exploration addresses the cultural branding model, consumption and the symbolic project of the self, and customer dominant logic. Ultimately, a conceptual model was proposed that highlights the need to investigate the lived experience of consumers. The critical contribution of the article lies in its systematic development of the conceptual domain of iconic brands and the potential this development has for guiding knowledge development including the discussion of an agenda for future research that illustrates its managerial relevance.

description: When the recycling policy expects to change the citizens’ behaviour, its implementation needs to be planned carefully, inquiring in advance the contextual factors that may interact with the actions planned by the policymakers. The connection between the actions planned on the desk and the characteristics of local context, where the policy impacts, is even more important when the relationship between the institutional policymakers and the citizens is conflictual. In this case, a vertical top-down approach in the policy implementation is not suggested, and a participatory bottom-up strategy should be employed, promoting popular consensus and trust in the environmental policy. The paper reports the case study of the new recycling program in Rome. The study shows that the delays and the problems encountered by the policymakers are due to the rigid top-down implementation and the low involvement of citizens and grassroot associations in designing the new recycling program, planned to change the everyday lives of people. The results identify the key contextual factors of recycling policy’s success: the urban housing and the social capital of people.

Quasinormal modes of a scalar perturbation around a rotating BTZ-like black hole in Einstein-bumblebee gravity

description: We analytically study the quasinormal modes of a scalar perturbation around a rotating BTZ-like black hole in the Einstein-bumblebee gravity. We observe that the Lorentz symmetry breaking parameter imprints only in the imaginary parts of the quasinormal frequencies for the right-moving and left-moving modes. The perturbational field decays more rapidly for the negative Lorentz symmetry breaking parameter, but more slowly for the positive one. The forms of the real parts are the same as those in the usual BTZ black holes. Moreover, we also discuss the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence from the quasinormal modes and find that the Lorentz symmetry breaking parameter enhances the left and right conformal weights $h_L$ and $h_R$ of the operators dual to the scalar field in the boundary. These results could be helpful to understand the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence and the Einstein-bumblebee gravity with the Lorentz symmetry violation.

description: En el siguiente trabajo de investigación realizaré una aproximación hermenéutica a la poesía de Jorge García Usta, recopilada en su poemario Noticias desde la otra Orilla (1985) y soportado en una construcción discursiva de la hermenéutica de la vitalidad. Analizaremos, cómo el hablante lirico se sirve de la vitalidad para crear una visión de mundo de corte épico y cómo se registra estas isotopías en los poemas. El poeta con toda su isotopía estética dará razón de una propuesta de elementos que resaltan la vida, y, que con una gran fuerza épica (épica de lo cotidiano) e irónica logran penetrar en una posible constitución de la identidad del ser. Cumplido tal propósito, estableceré la relación de dicha poética en analogía con otros escritores del Caribe Colombiano como Raúl Gómez Jattin y Jorge Artel.

description: Black cumin seed oil has a long history of uses for food flavors, perfumes, medicinal value, cosmetics industry and in production of liquid soap, shampoos and essential ingredient in soup component, sausages, cheese, cakes, candies and for preparation curries, bread, katikala, preservation of butter and flavor food. The objective of this thesis was proximate and mineral analysis, investigation of the effects of extraction time and particle size, identification of the essential oil by GC-MS and FT-IR and extraction of essential oil was from black cumin seed varieties and characterized of psycho-chemical analysis of iodine value, saponification, acid value, pH, kinematics viscosity and specific gravity. The extraction was carried out using Soxhlet method, and determination of proximate compositions, physicochemical and functional properties of two improved black cumin essential oil seed varieties was done, Soxhlet extraction using n-hexane was chosen to investigate the effect of time and particle size on yield and quality of the extracted oil. A general full factorial design was applied to both seed varieties, and 54 experimental runs were performed followed by optimization of the two varieties of essential oil. The values of moisture content, crude protein content, crude fat, crude fiber, total ash and carbohydrate of Eden seed were 5.29 g/100g , 19.83 g/100g, 41.3 g/100g, 18.96 g/100g, 5.10 g/100g and 9.52 g/100g whereas Dirshaye registered 5.43 g/100g , 19.95 g/100g, 40.3 g/100g, 14.28 g/100g, 4.35 g/100g and 14.69 g/100g, respectively. The mineral analysis indicated that potassium is the dominant one (829.11mg/100g, 746.27mg/100mg) followed by phosphorous, calcium, sodium, iron and zinc in Eden and Dirshaye varieties. The results obtained from the experiment were analyzed using Design Expert software. The minimum oil yield was found to be 46.77% in Dirshaye variety whereas Eden contained 49.57%, after the extraction time of 2 hours with a particle size of 1.4-2.5mm. A maximum oil yield of 91.08 and 94.767% was found for Dirshaye seed and Eden Seed, respectively at the extraction time of 6 hours and at a particle size of 0.25-0.5mm. Finally GC-MS and FT-IR analysis has been carried out on the two seed oil varieties contains of linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids were the dominant fractions respectively and both seed varieties of the dominant functional component contain p-cymene but longifoline available only in Dirshaye oil by 0.51 %. Generally due to the presence of Linoleic acid, thymoquinone and high saponification value of oil suggests and guarantees the use of oil for cosmetics industry. Due to the above properties and characteristics Eden varieties have been found to possess higher yield variety and preferable for making cosmetics.

description: Storing quantum information for an extended period of time is essential for running quantum algorithms with low errors. Currently, superconducting quantum memories have coherence times of a few milliseconds, and surpassing this performance has remained an outstanding challenge. In this work, we report a qubit encoded in a novel superconducting cavity with a coherence time of 34 ms, an improvement of over an order of magnitude compared to previous demonstrations. We use this long-lived quantum memory to store a Schrödinger cat state with a record size of 1024 photons, indicating the cavity's potential for bosonic quantum error correction.

Localization effects on magnetotransport of a disordered Weyl semimetal

description: We study magnetotransport in a disordered Weyl semimetal taking into account localization effects exactly. In the vicinity of a Weyl node, a single chiral Landau level coexists with a number of conventional non-chiral levels. Disorder scattering mixes these topologically different modes leading to peculiar localization effects. We derive the average conductance as well as the full distribution function of transmission probabilities along the field direction. Remarkably, we find that localization of the non-chiral modes is greatly enhanced in a strong magnetic field with the typical localization length scaling as $1/B$. Technically, we use the non-linear sigma-model formalism with a topological term describing the chiral states. The problem is solved exactly by mapping to an equivalent transfer matrix Hamiltonian.

Compactness in MV-Topologies: Tychonoff Theorem and Stone-Cech Compactification
Creators: name: De La Pava, Luz Victoria

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)

description: In this paper, we discuss some questions about compactness in MV-topological spaces. More precisely, we first present a Tychonoff theorem for such a class of fuzzy topological spaces and some consequence of this result, among which, for example, the existence of products in the category of Stone MV-spaces and, consequently, of coproducts in the one of limit cut complete MV-algebras. Then we show that our Tychonoff theorem is equivalent, in ZF, to the Axiom of Choice, classical Tychonoff theorem, and Lowen's analogous result for lattice-valued fuzzy topology. Last, we show an extension of the Stone-Cech compactification functor to the category of MV-topological spaces, and we discuss its relationship with previous works on compactification for fuzzy topological spaces.

description: We numerically evolve spherically symmetric solutions to the linear wave equation on some expanding Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes and study the respective asymptotics for large times. We find a quantitative relation between the expansion rate of the underlying background universe and the decay rate of linear waves, also in the context of spatially-hyperbolic spacetimes, for which rigorous proofs of decay rates are not generally known. A prominent role in the decay mechanism is shown to be played by tails, i.e. scattered waves propagating in the interior of the lightcone.
