Putting the Welfare of the Child at the Heart of the Reconciliation of Work and Family Life Principle: A Role for Grandparents?
Creators: name: Sattar, Ruksar
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Parents worldwide have long been confronted by the demands of participating in paid work whilst also fulfilling their caring responsibilities. Over the years, the United Kingdom’s legal framework has significantly changed to address the evolving social reality and the European Union has played a pivotal role in this through the gradual development of the reconciliation of work and family life principle. Despite the introduction of a dynamic set of policies and measures focusing on the tension inherent in juggling between work and caring responsibilities, studies show that an increasing number of working parents are relying on the provision of informal childcare by grandparents. Whilst recognising the valuable contributions of the existing work-life balance measures towards the promotion of a family-friendly workplace, this research argues that little attention has been paid to the welfare of the child and to the role that grandparents tend to play in this area. Accordingly, this research makes a case for the adoption of a child-friendly reconciliation framework.In view of that, this research is organised as follows. The first three chapters argue that, as the public/private dichotomy is an unsuitable theoretical framework, the capabilities approach and the ethic of care theory should be adopted as the combined language to underpin the reconciliation principle. The following two chapters make a case for the adoption of a child-friendly reconciliation framework, to include the need to recognise and value the vital role that an increasing number of grandparents are playing in this area through the provision of informal childcare. Against this background, the next three chapters undertake a comprehensive analysis of the main work-life balance measures – leave, time and childcare – to reveal the extent to which the underlying theme of child welfare is missing from the equation. Finally, the last chapter makes suggestions towards a child-friendly reconciliation framework.

description: Climate change adaptation is a cross-cutting policy issue that accounts for a diversity of policy approaches, tools, and goals. Unclear conceptualization and the absence of comparable metrics are challenges that hinder the assessment of progress toward policy goals. This study draws on a policy mix approach to analyze adaptation efforts at the subnational level. It examines the complex pathways by which rural households in Northeast Brazil build resilience capacities and deal with drought with policy support. Particular emphasis is placed on the implementation of policy mixes composed of climate-related and broader development instruments as well as on the coordination of these instruments in the mix. The resilience of households benefiting from different instrument mixes is examined, and the results show a trend toward an intermediary value for our composite resilience metric highlighting the adoption of coping rather than transformative adaptive strategies. However, changing these trends toward enhanced resilience pathways depends on the improved implementation of the policy mixes and on political factors that include administrative issues, but also coordination and negotiation among policy actors.
The Hall-Petch effect as a manifestation of the general size effect

description: The experimental evidence for the Hall-Petch dependence of strength on the inverse square-root of grain size is reviewed critically. Both the classic data and more recent results are considered. While the data can be fitted to the inverse square-root dependence excellently (but using two free fitting parameters for each dataset), it is also consistent with a dependence on the simple inverse of grain size (with one free fitting parameter for each dataset). There have been difficulties, recognised for half-a-century, in explaining the inverse square-root expression. A Bayesian analysis shows that the data strongly supports the simple inverse expression proposed. Since this expression derives from underlying theory, it is also more readily explicable. It is concluded that the Hall-Petch effect is not to be explained by the variety of theories found in the literature, but is a manifestation of, or underlain by, the general size effect observed throughout micromechanics, due to the inverse relationship between the stress required and the space available for dislocation sources to operate.

Year: 2013

description: This essay describes the most relevant steps of a method for the environmental damage assessment that was edited in 1989 and that could be easily adapted to the actual context, using a scenario approach built thanks to Gis tools and procedures. Once the scenarios have been identified, the turning point is a prospective comparison referred to the decreased capability of the environment to support the activities of its three components and to the evaluation of “value parameters”, depending on the importance given to each element, in order to identify the damage costs. At this point, the damage value could be quantified considering the actual reclamation costs and outlining the uniqueness of each area and ecosystem and the actual inability of exactly restoring the previous configuration.

High-Capacity Quantum Associative Memories

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review our models of quantum associative memories that represent the "quantization" of fully coupled neural networks like the Hopfield model. The idea is to replace the classical irreversible attractor dynamics driven by an Ising model with pattern-dependent weights by the reversible rotation of an input quantum state onto an output quantum state consisting of a linear superposition with probability amplitudes peaked on the stored pattern closest to the input in Hamming distance, resulting in a high probability of measuring a memory pattern very similar to the input. The unitary operator implementing this transformation can be formulated as a sequence of one-qubit and two-qubit elementary quantum gates and is thus the exponential of an ordered quantum Ising model with sequential operations and with pattern-dependent interactions, exactly as in the classical case. Probabilistic quantum memories, that make use of postselection of the measurement result of control qubits, overcome the famed linear storage limitation of their classical counterparts because they permit to completely {\it eliminate crosstalk and spurious memories}. The number of control qubits plays the role of an inverse fictitious temperature, the accuracy of pattern retrieval can be tuned by lowering the fictitious temperature under a critical value for quantum content association while the complexity of the retrieval algorithm remains polynomial for any number of patterns polynomial in the number of qubits. These models solve thus the capacity shortage problem of classical associative memories, providing a {\it polynomial improvement} in capacity. The price to pay is the probabilistic nature of information retrieval.

description: The first observation of about 2000 candidates, with a background contamination below 3%, of the rare decay $K^{\pm} \to π^{\pm}π^{0}e^+e^-$ is reported by the NA48/2 experiment. The preliminary branching ratio in the full kinematic region is obtained to be: ${\cal B}(K^{\pm} \to π^{\pm}π^{0}e^+e^-)=(4.06\pm0.17)\cdot10^{-6}$ by analyzing the data collected in 2003. A sample of $4.687\times 10^6$ $K^\pm\toπ^\pmπ^0_D$, decay candidates with a negligible background contamination collected in 2003-04 is analyzed to search for the dark photon ($A'$) via the decay chain $K^\pm\toπ^\pmπ^0$, $π^0\toγA'$, $A'\to e^+e^-$. No signal is observed, and preliminary limits in the plane dark photon mixing parameter $\varepsilon^2$ versus its mass $m_{A'}$ are reported.

description: Total solar irradiance and UV spectral solar irradiance have been monitored since 1978 through a succession of space missions. This is accompanied by the development of models aimed at replicating solar irradiance by relating the variability to solar magnetic activity. The NRLSSI and SATIRE-S models provide the most comprehensive reconstructions of total and spectral solar irradiance over the period of satellite observation currently available. There is persistent controversy between the various measurements and models in terms of the wavelength dependence of the variation over the solar cycle, with repercussions on our understanding of the influence of UV solar irradiance variability on the stratosphere. We review the measurement and modelling of UV solar irradiance variability over the period of satellite observation. The SATIRE-S reconstruction is consistent with spectral solar irradiance observations where they are reliable. It is also supported by an independent, empirical reconstruction of UV spectral solar irradiance based on UARS/SUSIM measurements from an earlier study. The weaker solar cycle variability produced by NRLSSI between 300 and 400 nm is not evident in any available record. We show that although the method employed to construct NRLSSI is principally sound, reconstructed solar cycle variability is detrimentally affected by the uncertainty in the SSI observations it draws upon in the derivation. Based on our findings, we recommend, when choosing between the two models, the use of SATIRE-S for climate studies.

В работе рассматриваются три основные формы цифрового насилия: кибербуллинг, онлайн-домогательства и распространение интимных материалов без согласия (NCII). Методология исследования включает систематический обзор правовой литературы за 2020-2024 годы, сравнительный анализ законодательства в различных юрисдикциях и изучение судебной практики. Результаты исследования выявляют значительные пробелы в существующих правовых механизмах защиты женщин от цифрового насилия, включая юрисдикционные проблемы, отсутствие специализированных норм и недостаточную эффективность правоприменения. Исследование демонстрирует, что цифровое насилие имеет серьезные психологические, экономические и социальные последствия для женщин, которые часто не учитываются в полной мере при разработке правовых норм.
Basal-like breast cancer defined by five biomarkers has superior prognostic value than triple-negative phenotype
Creators: name: Perou, Charles
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Purpose: Basal-like breast cancer is associated with high grade, poor prognosis, and younger patient age. Clinically, a triple-negative phenotype definition [estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2, all negative] is commonly used to identify such cases. EGFR and cytokeratin 5/6 are readily available positive markers of basallike breast cancer applicable to standard pathology specimens. This study directly compares the prognostic significance between three- and five-biomarker surrogate panels to define intrinsic breast cancer subtypes, using a large clinically annotated series of breast tumors. Experimental Design: Four thousand forty-six invasive breast cancers were assembledinto tissuemicroarrays. Allhad staging, pathology, treatment, andoutcomeinformation;median follow-up was12.5 years. Cox regression analyses and likelihood ratio tests compared the prognostic significance for breast cancer death-specific survival (BCSS) of the twoimmunohistochemicalpanels. Results: Among3,744interpretable cases,17%werebasalusing the triple-negativedefinition(10- year BCSS, 6 7%) and 9% were basal using the five-marker method (10-year BCSS, 62%). Likelihood ratio tests ofmultivariable Coxmodelsincluding standard clinical variables show that the fivemarker panel is significantly more prognostic than the three-marker panel.The poor prognosis of triple-negative phenotype is conferred almost entirely by those tumors positive for basal markers. Among triple-negativepatients treatedwithadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy, theadditionalpositive basalmarkersidentified a cohort of patients with significantly worse outcome. Conclusions:The expanded surrogate immunopanel of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human HER-2, EGFR, and cytokeratin 5/6 provides a more specific definition of basal-like breast cancer that better predicts breast cancer survival.

description: The enhancement process of urban systems is currently developed by interventions with increasing complexity, as they should achieve the economical and social requirements of sustainability, beside the environmental ones. This is a central issue that is growing in importance also at the neighborhood level. Within the present sustainability assessment tools at neighborhood level, this paper suggests the Local Sustainability Index (Lo.S.I.) evaluation model in order to measure the efforts to achieve a satisfying degree of sustainability in regional and urban regeneration interventions, both enhancing/transferring new knowledge about the present condition and the possible development options of abandoned urban areas.

description: Section 39 of the current consolidated expropriation act states: “while expecting a systematic re-regulation of the matter, in the case of reiteration of a preordered constraint or a practical expropriation constraint, the estate owner is entitled to an indemnity comparable to the amount of damage actually produced”. To this date the “systematic re-regulation of the matter” has not taken place; failing specific regulations, the estimate indemnity cannot therefore be quantified.

description: Contour based scene text detection methods have rapidly developed recently, but still suffer from inaccurate frontend contour initialization, multi-stage error accumulation, or deficient local information aggregation. To tackle these limitations, we propose a novel arbitrary-shaped scene text detection framework named CT-Net by progressive contour regression with contour transformers. Specifically, we first employ a contour initialization module that generates coarse text contours without any post-processing. Then, we adopt contour refinement modules to adaptively refine text contours in an iterative manner, which are beneficial for context information capturing and progressive global contour deformation. Besides, we propose an adaptive training strategy to enable the contour transformers to learn more potential deformation paths, and introduce a re-score mechanism that can effectively suppress false positives. Extensive experiments are conducted on four challenging datasets, which demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of our CT-Net over state-of-the-art methods. Particularly, CT-Net achieves F-measure of 86.1 at 11.2 frames per second (FPS) and F-measure of 87.8 at 10.1 FPS for CTW1500 and Total-Text datasets, respectively.

‘We are not afraid of flooding’ …but what about landslide? The effects of assumed and perceived hazards on the value of residential locations
Creators: name: Kauko, Tom
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2013

description: The issue of interest is as to whether it is possible to use the added value generated by the positive effect of having housing developments close to water to abate the negative effects that may arise in some of the same locations. This paper is based on a critical literature review together with expert interviews. It comments on the methodology of spatial benefit-cost analysis (benefit for price premium ‘generated’ by the amenity; costs for price discounts ‘generated’ by the risk) in relation to design of housing and hazard management mechanisms within the context of urban land use in contemporary Trondheim, Norway. The particular issue at stake concerns potential quick clay landslide hazard areas. Prior research suggests that the role of situation by a coast, lake or river should not be overlooked when assessing possibilities for financing general water related hazard abatement schemes. This is potentially a win-win-situation: safety enhancing public works could be financed based on the added value of new developments at the given location. The purported kind of innovative financial mechanism however requires close cooperation between private developers and local authorities – in other words, governance instead of government – as well as flexible legal codes. Unfortunately the study area to a great extent lacks such institutional possibilities due to an outmoded conceptualization of the role of government intervention.

description: Even after over two decades, the total variation (TV) remains one of the most popular regularizations for image processing problems and has sparked a tremendous amount of research, particularly to move from scalar to vector-valued functions. In this paper, we consider the gradient of a color image as a three dimensional matrix or tensor with dimensions corresponding to the spatial extend, the differences to other pixels, and the spectral channels. The smoothness of this tensor is then measured by taking different norms along the different dimensions. Depending on the type of these norms one obtains very different properties of the regularization, leading to novel models for color images. We call this class of regularizations collaborative total variation (CTV). On the theoretical side, we characterize the dual norm, the subdifferential and the proximal mapping of the proposed regularizers. We further prove, with the help of the generalized concept of singular vectors, that an $\ell^{\infty}$ channel coupling makes the most prior assumptions and has the greatest potential to reduce color artifacts. Our practical contributions consist of an extensive experimental section where we compare the performance of a large number of collaborative TV methods for inverse problems like denoising, deblurring and inpainting.

description: The poster presents the definition of the mapping between the EpiDoc encoding schema and CIDOC CRM, the most relevant ontology in the field of Cultural Heritage, provided by the ItAnt project. The project "Languages and Cultures of Ancient Italy. Historical Linguistics and Digital Models" aims to investigate the languages of Ancient Italy by combining the traditional methods, proper to historical linguistics, with methods and technologies proper to the Digital Humanities. The languages of ancient Italy are documented almost exclusively in epigraphic texts and the creation of the first digital archive of their documentation according to the TEI/EpiDoc Guidelines is one of the main objectives of the project. In order to foster future interoperability and integration with other external datasets, a paramount concern of the project, we are mapping the EpiDoc schema to the CIDOC CRM ontology, in particular to its CRMtex extension, an ontological model developed to support the study of ancient documents by identifying relevant textual entities and by modelling the scientific process related to their investigation and features. CRMtex defines classes and properties for describing a handwritten text in all its aspects, from its creation in the past, down to its present conservation, investigation and study by scholars, including its transcription, translation, interpretation and publication. The full compatibility of CRMtex with the CIDOC CRM ontology and its extensions ensures persistent interoperability of data encoded by means of its entities with other semantic information produced in Cultural Heritage and Digital Humanities.

description: Surveillance-infused forms of algorithmic discrimination are beginning to capture public and scholarly attention. While this is an
encouraging development, this editorial questions the parameters of this emerging discussion and cautions against algorithmic
fetishism. I characterize algorithmic fetishism as the pleasurable pursuit of opening the black box, discovering the code hidden
inside, exploring its beauty and flaws, and explicating its intricacies. It is a technophilic desire for arcane knowledge that can
never be grasped completely, so it continually lures one forward into technical realms while deferring the point of intervention.
The editorial concludes with a review of the articles in this open issue.

description: By performing quantum-noise-limited optical heterodyne detection, we observe polarization noise in light after propagation through a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF). We compare the noise spectrum to the one of a standard fiber and find an increase of noise even though the light is mainly transmitted in air in a hollow-core PCF. Combined with our simulation of the acoustic vibrational modes in the hollow-core PCF, we are offering an explanation for the polarization noise with a variation of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS). Here, instead of modulating the strain in the fiber core as in a solid core fiber, the acoustic vibrations in hollow-core PCF influence the effective refractive index by modulating the geometry of the photonic crystal structure. This induces polarization noise in the light guided by the photonic crystal structure.

description: In international and metropolitan real estate markets, it has been detected, for the first time, the growing relevance of green buildings with respect to non-green building. Also, it has been singled out and then quantified through regression analysis a green premium, i.e. a differential in terms of price toward sold real estate units having ecological characteristics along with an energy value (more efficient behavior). The incipient international studies recommend to extend the analysis to unexplored middle-size non-metropolitan (marginal) real estate markets. One of this areas has been studied detecting the first sale of an apartment with energy certification belonging to class B in a building with ecological characteristics. The assessment analysis performed through Market Comparison Approach, MCA, made it possible to detect and then appraise the green premium that is in line with the outcomes of the first and pioneer international studies performed in metropolitan areas.

description: We present and test a new algorithm for time-evolving quantum many-body systems initially proposed by Holzner et al. [Phys. Rev. B 83, 195115 (2011)]. The approach is based on merging the matrix product state (MPS) formalism with the method of expanding the time-evolution operator in Chebyshev polynomials. We calculate time-dependent observables of a system of hardcore bosons quenched under the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian on a one-dimensional lattice. We compare the new algorithm to more standard methods using the MPS architecture. We find that the Chebyshev method gives numerically exact results for small times. However, the reachable times are smaller than the ones obtained with the other state-of-the-art methods. We further extend the new method using a spectral-decomposition-based projective scheme that utilizes an effective bandwidth significantly smaller than the full bandwidth, leading to longer evolution times than the non-projective method and more efficient information storage, data compression, and less computational effort.

When possibility dominates probability. Global pressures on a local border town: the real estate market of Ortigia
Creators: name: Giuffrida, Salvatore
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2013

description: The real estate market is a highly communicative human and social place in which individual creativity interacts with the urban structure. The rising tendency of the property value and quality stimulates global investors to demand more and more qualified assets. This process involves the public administration, whose policies should focus on the acquisition, for the community’s benefit, of a significant part of the surplus of the real estate investments. The appraisal point of view, and particularly the income method, focuses on the capability of the cap rate to represent and integrate the private possibilities with the public perspectives. The outline of the real estate market of Ortigia shows some characters of the capital goods, whose value can be figured out by crossing the theory of the capital and the income method.

Year: 2013

description: The valorization processes of real estate capital are strongly influenced by the ability of the different buildings to capture and incorporate some liquidity flows, this capacity, is closely related to the dynamics of the market, of its segments and the single building. The study proposes in this regard, a new methodology, warranting a continuity process with some traditional economic and evaluation approach, using some new tools, such as the developed rough set by the Operations Research for other issues, but, in this case, that have an instrumental role for the identification of the capacity to increase in value of a real estate capital and to propose a fuzzy measure of this capacity. The study case is that of the market of Ortigia, the historic center of Syracuse.

description: We study the role of professional networks in facilitating emigration of Jewish academics dismissed from their positions by the Nazi government. We use individual-level exogenous variation in the timing of dismissals to estimate causal effects. Academics with more ties to early émigrés (emigrated 1933-1934) were more likely to emigrate. Early émigrés functioned as "bridging nodes" that facilitated emigration to their own destination. We also provide evidence of decay in social ties over time and show that professional networks transmit information that is not publicly observable. Finally, we study the relative importance of three types (family, community, professional) of social networks.

description: Quantum cryptography allows confidential information to be communicated between two parties, with secrecy guaranteed by the laws of nature alone. However, upholding guaranteed secrecy over quantum communication networks poses a further challenge, as classical receive-and-resend routing nodes can only be used conditional of trust by the communicating parties. Here, we demonstrate the operation of a quantum relay over 1 km of optical fiber, which teleports a sequence of photonic quantum bits to a receiver by utilizing entangled photons emitted by a semiconductor LED. The average relay fidelity of the link is 0.90+/-0.03, exceeding the classical bound of 0.75 for the set of states used, and sufficiently high to allow error correction. The fundamentally low multi-photon emission statistics and the integration potential of the source present an appealing platform for future quantum networks.

description: Portfolio selection is one of the most important and vital decisions that a real or legal person, who invests in stock market should make. The main purpose of this paper is the determination of the optimal portfolio with regard to stock returns of companies, which are active in Tehran's stock market. For achieving this purpose, annual statistics of companies' stocks since Farvardin 1387 until Esfand 1392 have been used. For analyzing statistics, information of companies' stocks, the Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (COA) and Knapsack Problem have been used with the aim of increasing the total return, in order to form a financial portfolio. At last, results merits of choosing the optimal portfolio using the COA rather than Genetic Algorithm are given

description: The LaboReg has spent years to focus on the purpose of internal research on practical application of the achieved results and the involvement in all phases of business, governments and local entrepreneurs in order to anticipate times and procedures to make a decision towards sustainable solutions. The synergy created between the academic world, the local government and the businesses has put together a research whose main objective is oriented towards the implementation of the productive sectors of the local construction materials to be used in the restoration and rehabilitation of historic buildings and new green building measures in the prospective of environmental sustainability and energy conservation. Within the research programme, interesting results have emerged in the field of experiments called “New Historical Materials.” In this field of ​​activity a research has emerged on the implementation of a prototype of a “new town photovoltaic roof tiles”. The study has provided a first significant result, that is the development of a model of assessment and control of production processes, and some innovative materials.

Data World Does Not Lack Standards

description: When I first read the Call for Papers for this special issue, I was dismayed to find this line
within it:
“However, the world of data lacks the ingrained standards and practices the library
and academic community have built up over the years.”
It is true that there are many standards and practices for data depending on the discipline
in which the research is done. Because data themselves are more varied in their format
than publications such as books and journal articles, standards for data are necessarily
more varied and complex than those describing print publications. Whereas social science
survey data must discuss sampling techniques and any weighting procedures and provide
questionnaires, astronomy data has quite different concerns: frequency bands, equipment
specifications and calibration, and spectra measurements. Consequently the standards
involved may feel less “ingrained” to those who are not deeply involved in the research of
different disciplines. And, too, librarians may be less familiar with standards that apply in
parts of the research lifecycle in which they have tended to be less involved. Every library
student knows MARC, but that is a standard used primarily in the dissemination stage of
research, not in the data collection stage. Standards in data may also be more in flux than
those for publications, particularly recently, given the rapid evolution of mandates for data
sharing and their effect on disciplines that have no existing tradition of open access.

description: The present study has two aims, to provide a further contribute to the literature on land market, and to highlight the possible relationships between some macroeconomic factors affecting the land values trend in Italy and in Sicily. The data obtainable from the available information sources in the field were collected and processed. More in detail, in the first part of the paper a reference scenario is described through the presentation of the general features of agricultural land market, relying upon the specific scientific literature. Hereinafter, some time series at national and Sicilian level were built by using average agricultural land values, inflation rates and agricultural value added (at current and constant prices) and the relationships between the above-mentioned economic factors were pointed out.

description: The surgical procedure is one of the most applied techniques in the treatment of breast cancer, but among its complications there is the risk of the appearance of seroma, which can negatively influence the healing process. Compression over the seroma region seems to be an effective measure to reduce dead space and facilitate the drainage of accumulated lymph. However, the effect of compression performed by functional bandages on the breast of mastectomized women, in an early manner in order to prevent seroma, is still unclear. Objective: to investigate the preventive effectiveness on seroma by the use of functional bandages in the immediate postoperative period of mastectomy in women, compared with a group of guidelines. Methods: Fifty women will participate in the study, randomized into two groups: guidance group (G 1 - current therapy) and intervention group (use of functional bandage - G2). Patients will be evaluated in four moments, the first one in the clinic during the medical consultation, followed by the post-surgical moment in the ward of the specialized Hospital, and the other two moments during the medical returns in a period of up to 90 days. Seroma evaluation will be performed through palpation and edema inspection 7 days after hospital discharge, when returning for medical consultation, at this moment the drain debit reported by the doctor will be recorded. In the pre- and post-surgical moments, the following questionnaires will be applied: International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS), Shoulder Functionality Questionnaire (QuickDash), the history of the disease, clinical treatment and the ECOG and Karnofsky tests to assess functional capacity. For data normality analysis, Shapiro Wilk's test will be applied. For paired analysis, Student's T test will be performed in case of normal distribution or Wilcoxon test for variables that do not follow Gaussian distribution.
