description: Focusing on key Indigenous wellbeing paradigms, discourses, and disciplines this discussion paper presents a distinctive Aboriginal Participatory Action Research (APAR) approach as a transformative Indigenous Research Methodology.
It also explores Indigenous Standpoint Theory, Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Indigenous Research Methods and Methodologies as key elements in decolonising research, building self-determination in communities, and contributing to Indigenous social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB) and Indigenous Psychology.
Drawing on three community projects — the Kimberley Empowerment, Healing and Leadership Program, the National Empowerment Project and the Cultural, Social and Emotional Wellbeing Program — this paper demonstrates how APAR contributes to Indigenous SEWB and Indigenous Psychology. Finally, it examines the interrelationship of core components of APAR articulating an Indigenous epistemology, ontology, axiology (Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing) and methodology covering Indigenous specific methods, guiding principles, research protocols and ethical guidelines.

description: We study the off-equilibrium effects of inflaton on the dynamics of primordial perturbations in the O(N) model. A self-consistent off-equilibrium formalism is employed to investigate the evolution of the inflationary background field and its fluctuations with the back-reaction effects. We find two observable remains left behind the off-equilibrium processes: the running spectral index of primordial density perturbations and the correlations between perturbation modes in phase space, which would serve as the imprints to probe the epoch of inflation, even beyond.

description: Adversarial training (AT) has become a popular choice for training robust networks. However, it tends to sacrifice clean accuracy heavily in favor of robustness and suffers from a large generalization error. To address these concerns, we propose Smooth Adversarial Training (SAT), guided by our analysis on the eigenspectrum of the loss Hessian. We find that curriculum learning, a scheme that emphasizes on starting "easy" and gradually ramping up on the "difficulty" of training, smooths the adversarial loss landscape for a suitably chosen difficulty metric. We present a general formulation for curriculum learning in the adversarial setting and propose two difficulty metrics based on the maximal Hessian eigenvalue (H-SAT) and the softmax probability (P-SA). We demonstrate that SAT stabilizes network training even for a large perturbation norm and allows the network to operate at a better clean accuracy versus robustness trade-off curve compared to AT. This leads to a significant improvement in both clean accuracy and robustness compared to AT, TRADES, and other baselines. To highlight a few results, our best model improves normal and robust accuracy by 6% and 1% on CIFAR-100 compared to AT, respectively. On Imagenette, a ten-class subset of ImageNet, our model outperforms AT by 23% and 3% on normal and robust accuracy respectively.

description: Varying the angle Theta between applied field and the conducting planes of a layered superconductor in a small interval close to the plane-parallel field direction, a large number of superconducting states with unusual properties may be produced. For these states, the pair breaking effect of the magnetic field affects both the orbital and the spin degree of freedom. This leads to pair wave functions with finite momentum, which are labeled by Landau quantum numbers 0\infty of the paramagnetic vortex states to the FFLO-limit is analyzed and the physical reason for the occupation of higher Landau levels is pointed out.

description: In this paper we consider alignment of sparse graphs, for which we introduce the Neighborhood Tree Matching Algorithm (NTMA). For correlated Erdős-Rényi random graphs, we prove that the algorithm returns -- in polynomial time -- a positive fraction of correctly matched vertices, and a vanishing fraction of mismatches. This result holds with average degree of the graphs in $O(1)$ and correlation parameter $s$ that can be bounded away from 1, conditions under which random graph alignment is particularly challenging. As a byproduct of the analysis we introduce a matching metric between trees and characterize it for several models of correlated random trees. These results may be of independent interest, yielding for instance efficient tests for determining whether two random trees are correlated or independent.

description: We consider a deformation of N=1 four dimensional Minkowski superspace where odd coordinates $θ^α$ do not anticommute. We define supersymmetric and associative star product and show how the remaining (anti)commutation relations among the superspace coordinates are modified. In particular, the even coordinates do not commute as well. We also study chiral and vector superfields and their interactions. Suprisingly we find that ordinary undeformed N=1 supersymmetric field theories are compatible with the deformed supersymmetry considered.

Jordan-Wigner Dualities for Translation-Invariant Hamiltonians in Any Dimension: Emergent Fermions in Fracton Topological Order

description: Inspired by recent developments generalizing Jordan-Wigner dualities to higher dimensions, we develop a framework of such dualities using an algebraic formalism for translation-invariant Hamiltonians proposed by Haah. We prove that given a translation-invariant fermionic system with general $q$-body interactions, where $q$ is even, a local mapping preserving global fermion parity to a dual Pauli spin model exists and is unique up to a choice of basis. Furthermore, the dual spin model is constructive, and we present various examples of these dualities. As an application, we bosonize fermionic systems where free-fermion hopping terms are absent ($q \ge 4$) and fermion parity is conserved on submanifolds such as higher-form, line, planar or fractal symmetry. For some cases in 3+1D, bosonizing such a system can give rise to fracton models where the emergent particles are immobile but yet can behave in certain ways like fermions. These models may be examples of new nonrelativistic 't Hooft anomalies. Furthermore, fermionic subsystem symmetries are also present in various Majorana stabilizer codes, such as the color code or the checkerboard model, and we give examples where their duals are cluster states or new fracton models distinct from their doubled CSS codes.

Multi-polarity and institutional development: A cross-national analysis
Creators: name: Alonso, Pablo
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: As the effects of poverty, corruption, illegal immigration, terrorism, transnational crime and other costs associated with weak and failed states continue to grow and spill over, the need to understand how nations can be built, and institutional arrangements changed, has become an urgent matter. Substantial amounts of treasure and effort have been spent on building and transforming institutions but success has been elusive so far. While some argue that institutions are exogenous to political, economic and social circumstances and, therefore, willful leaders can change them by design, others argue that institutions will change only gradually as they are endogenous to the underlying and slow changing cultural norms and values of each country. Whereas I acknowledge that there are many factors that influence the process of institutional building and transformation, and that we do not fully understand it yet, I propose that institutional development depends, in part, on the pattern of distribution of power (i.e., Multi-polarity) through its effect on political competition and that Multi-polarity is endogenous to factors that affect the number of players and their relative bargaining strength. I test the relationship, as well as the direction of causality, between Multi-polarity and institutional development using some existing faulty measures for each concept. I find empirical evidence to support my thesis that countries with higher levels of Multi-polarity tend to have higher levels of institutional performance. Since patterns of power distribution tend to change gradually, it is unlikely that institutional arrangements would change overnight. Nevertheless, with more emphasis on rebalancing power asymmetries rather than on getting the policy right changing the direction of the "path dependence" is more likely.

description: In this research we construct prediction intervals for a Poisson process using both frequentist and Bayesian approaches. A general algorithm for the whole class of discrete distribution from the exponential family is introduced. The relationship between prediction limits derived using Bayesian approach when a noninformative prior is assumed on the parameter with limits derived using frequentist approach is taken under special consideration. As an application, the exact prediction limits for the number of tropical storms occurring during some time scale in the future are constructed based on a Poisson modeling; both frequentist and Bayesian approaches are considered. Simulation techniques and bootstrap methods are performed to assess the prior distribution.

description: In previous papers of the series we used a combination of optical and near-infrared colours to derive constraints on the relative age structure in globular cluster systems. Here, we present the details, strength and limitations of our method based on Monte-Carlo simulations of colour-colour diagrams and cumulative age distributions. The simulations are based on general informations about the globular cluster systems (e.g. colour-ranges, the number ratios between sub-populations) and the different single stellar population models (SSP's) which are used to derive relative ages. For both the modeled systems and the observed globular cluster systems we derive the cumulative age distribution and introduce two parameters to define it, the so-called 50 % age and the result of the reduced $χ$$^2$test of the comparison between models and observations. The method was tested successfully on several systems and allowed to reveal significant intermediate age populations in two of them.

description: The present study explored the role of personal goals in acceptance of and adjustment to hearing loss. Data was collected from 100 adults with acquired, adult-onset hearing loss at a non-profit organization that provides audiologic services and hearing rehabilitation. Participants completed a measure of personal strivings (Emmons, 1989) that evaluated goal commitment, impact of hearing loss on goals, self-determination, and psychosocial goal maturity, and a measure of goal flexibility. Hearing loss severity was measured by pure-tone audiometry (PTA) administered prior to participation. Well-being and adjustment were assessed with self-report measures. Results suggest that having a strong commitment to goals that are impacted by hearing loss relates to decreased adjustment and well-being. Striving self-determination was found to be a stronger predictor of life satisfaction among individuals with more self-acceptance. Hearing impaired individuals with more psychosocially mature and self-determined goals tended to report greater well-being. There was some evidence that goal flexibility moderates the relationship between hearing loss severity and adjustment. No support was found for the notion that goal maturity mediates the relationship between age and adjustment to hearing loss.

We show that the vanishing condition for the general expression of holomorphic beta function of $\mathcal{N}=2$ quiver gauge QFT$_{4}$s coincides exactly with the fundamental classification theorem of KM algebras. Explicit solutions are derived for mirror geometries of CY threefolds with \textit{% hyperbolic} singularities.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We use a population synthesis approach to characterise, as a function of cosmic time, the extragalactic close binary population descended from stars of low to intermediate initial mass. The unresolved gravitational wave (GW) background due to these systems is calculated for the 0.1-10 mHz frequency band of the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). This background is found to be dominated by emission from close white dwarf-white dwarf pairs. The spectral shape can be understood in terms of some simple analytic arguments. To quantify the astrophysical uncertainties, we construct a range of evolutionary models which produce populations consistent with Galactic observations of close WD-WD binaries. The models differ in binary evolution prescriptions as well as initial parameter distributions and cosmic star formation histories. We compare the resulting background spectra, whose shapes are found to be insensitive to the model chosen, and different to those found recently by Schneider et al. (2001). From this set of models, we constrain the amplitude of the extragalactic background to be 1E-12 < Omega(1 mHz) < 6E-12, in terms of Omega(f), the fraction of closure density received in gravitational waves in the logarithmic frequency interval around f.

description: In turbulence phenomena, including the quantum turbulence in superfluids, an energy flux flows from large to small length scales, composing a cascade of energy. A universal characteristic of turbulent flows is the existence of a range of scales where the energy flux is scale-invariant: this interval of scales is often referred to as inertial region. This property is fundamental as, for instance, in turbulence of classical fluids it characterizes the behavior of statistical features such as spectra and structure functions. Here we show that also in decaying quantum turbulence generated in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), intervals of momentum space where the energy flux is constant can be identified. Indeed, we present a procedure to measure the energy flux using both the energy spectrum and the continuity equation. A range of scales where the flux is constant is then determined employing two distinct protocols and in the same range, the momentum distribution measured is consistent with previous work. The successful identification of a region with constant flux in turbulent BECs is a manifestation of the universal character of turbulence in these quantum systems. These measurements pave the way for studies of energy conservation and dissipation in trapped atomic superfluids, and also analogies with the related processes that take place in ordinary fluids.

"Men of color, to arms!": Remembering Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution in the American Civil War
Creators: name: Clavin, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Haiti's Declaration of Independence at the opening of the nineteenth century marked the end of a slave rebellion of unprecedented size and scope. It was the culminating event of a racial and social revolution, which had a profound impact on the slave societies of the Atlantic world. The effect of the Saint Domingue, or Haitian Revolution, on the United States was in particular tremendous. This was especially the case during the Civil War, when the American people at last confronted the racial paradox that defined their short history. Public memory of the Haitian Revolution aided in the construction of two competing and racialized national identities during the war. African Americans and their radical white allies used the Haitian Revolution and especially the indomitable black slave general Toussaint Louverture, to reinvent the United States, imagining it as an enlightened, multiracial, and colorblind society in which African Americans figured prominently as citizens, soldiers, and men. Conversely, white southerners employed the iconic event in the construction of a Confederate nation, which was committed above all else to defending the institution of slavery and perpetuating white racial supremacy. This project explores the ways various publics appropriated opposing narratives of the Haitian Revolution, through an examination of three major Civil War-era debates: (1) violent abolitionism and secession; (2) black soldiery; and (3) emancipation. Popular attention to the Haitian Revolution at the revolutionary and transforming time of the Civil War reveals much about the construction and uses of historical memory, as well as its role in conceptions of national identity. That this milestone in African American history meant so much to the American people at such a defining moment illuminates moreover the significance of black history and culture in the making of America. The brutal and bloody war that ended slavery in the United States sparked an outpouring of public remembering of past people and events. It was in remembering Toussaint and the Haitian Revolution that the American people learned as much about themselves as they did about the slave revolt that took place on Haiti more than a half-century before.

description: We study the distribution of the occurrence of rare patterns in sufficiently mixing Gibbs random fields on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$. A typical example is the high temperature Ising model. This distribution is shown to converge to an exponential law as the size of the pattern diverges. Our analysis not only provides this convergence but also establishes a precise estimate of the distance between the exponential law and the distribution of the occurrence of finite patterns. A similar result holds for the repetition of a rare pattern. We apply these results to the fluctuation properties of occurrence and repetition of patterns: We prove a central limit theorem and a large deviation principle.

In this paper, we show that the same recurrence relation also holds for the number of $τ$-tilting modules over $\widetildeΛ^r_n$. As an application, we give a new proof for a result by Asai on recurrence formulae for the number of support $τ$-tilting modules over $Λ^r_n$ and $\widetildeΛ^r_n$.

description: This study presents the analytical and finite element formulation of a geometrically nonlinear and fractional-order nonlocal model of an Euler-Bernoulli beam. The finite nonlocal strains in the Euler-Bernoulli beam are obtained from a frame-invariant and dimensionally consistent fractional-order (nonlocal) continuum formulation. The finite fractional strain theory provides a positive definite formulation that results in a mathematically well-posed formulation which is consistent across loading and boundary conditions. The governing equations and the corresponding boundary conditions of the geometrically nonlinear and nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam are obtained using variational principles. Further, a nonlinear finite element model for the fractional-order system is developed in order to achieve the numerical solution of the integro-differential nonlinear governing equations. Following a thorough validation with benchmark problems, the fractional finite element model (f-FEM) is used to study the geometrically nonlinear response of a nonlocal beam subject to various loading and boundary conditions. Although presented in the context of a 1D beam, this nonlinear f-FEM formulation can be extended to higher dimensional fractional-order boundary value problems.

"Men of color, to arms!": Remembering Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution in the American Civil War

description: Haiti's Declaration of Independence at the opening of the nineteenth century marked the end of a slave rebellion of unprecedented size and scope. It was the culminating event of a racial and social revolution, which had a profound impact on the slave societies of the Atlantic world. The effect of the Saint Domingue, or Haitian Revolution, on the United States was in particular tremendous. This was especially the case during the Civil War, when the American people at last confronted the racial paradox that defined their short history. Public memory of the Haitian Revolution aided in the construction of two competing and racialized national identities during the war. African Americans and their radical white allies used the Haitian Revolution and especially the indomitable black slave general Toussaint Louverture, to reinvent the United States, imagining it as an enlightened, multiracial, and colorblind society in which African Americans figured prominently as citizens, soldiers, and men. Conversely, white southerners employed the iconic event in the construction of a Confederate nation, which was committed above all else to defending the institution of slavery and perpetuating white racial supremacy. This project explores the ways various publics appropriated opposing narratives of the Haitian Revolution, through an examination of three major Civil War-era debates: (1) violent abolitionism and secession; (2) black soldiery; and (3) emancipation. Popular attention to the Haitian Revolution at the revolutionary and transforming time of the Civil War reveals much about the construction and uses of historical memory, as well as its role in conceptions of national identity. That this milestone in African American history meant so much to the American people at such a defining moment illuminates moreover the significance of black history and culture in the making of America. The brutal and bloody war that ended slavery in the United States sparked an outpouring of public remembering of past people and events. It was in remembering Toussaint and the Haitian Revolution that the American people learned as much about themselves as they did about the slave revolt that took place on Haiti more than a half-century before.

description: Anisotropic macromolecules exposed to non-equilibrium (active) noise are very common in biological systems, and an accurate understanding of their anisotropic dynamics is therefore crucial. Here, we experimentally investigate the dynamics of isolated chains assembled from magnetic microparticles at a liquid-air interface and moving in an active bath consisting of motile E. coli bacteria. We investigate both the internal chain dynamics and the anisotropic center-of-mass dynamics through particle tracking. We find that both the internal and center-of-mass dynamics are greatly enhanced compared to the passive case, i.e., a system without bacteria, and that the center-of-mass diffusion coefficient $D$ features a non-monotonic dependence as a function of the chain length. Furthermore, our results show that the relationship between the components of $D$ parallel and perpendicular with respect to the direction of the applied magnetic field is preserved in the active bath compared to the passive case, with a higher diffusion in the parallel direction, in contrast to previous findings in the literature. We argue that this qualitative difference is due to subtle differences in the experimental geometry and conditions and the relative roles played by long-range hydrodynamic interactions and short-range collisions.
The politics of competitive sourcing: Cost savings, transaction costs, trade-offs and traditional public values

description: This dissertation examined the impact of costs savings on public-private competitions and the underlying forces driving competitive sourcing policy. This research is significant because it challenged the assumption of thirty percent savings when conducting a standard public-private competition. Also important is that this dissertation closely analyzed whether cost savings was the primary force driving competitive sourcing policy. The methodology used in this dissertation was a mixed model, which employed both quantitative analyses and qualitative interviewing. The quantitative model analyzed data on public-private competitions conducted on commercial activities in the Department of Defense from 1979--1994. This analysis also included transaction costs that accounted for contract support and government administration involved in the competitive sourcing process. The qualitative interviews asked two groups of federal government personnel questions regarding their agency experiences with competitive sourcing policy. The first group consisted of personnel directly involved in the implementation of competitive sourcing. The second group included Competitive Sourcing Officials (CSOs) or their designated agency representative(s). Additionally there was a historical content analysis that examined both the evolution of public values through government contracting and the development of competitive sourcing policy. The findings from this dissertation indicate three overarching themes. First, transaction costs matter and may dramatically impact the amount of cost savings produced through competitive sourcing. Second, the thirty percent cost savings figure reported in a number of studies could not be replicated, but it should be noted that savings did occur on a much smaller scale. Third, cost savings are not the only force driving competitive sourcing policy. Politics, public values and competing organizational goals have also played an active role in the development of competitive sourcing. A tangential theme of some importance was the representation of cost savings as a public value. Overall this research allows for a better understanding of the transaction costs, trade-offs and politics involved in the federal government's competitive sourcing policy.

description: The BCS-BEC crossover is studied in a systematic way in the broken-symmetry phase between zero temperature and the critical temperature. This study bridges two regimes where quantum and thermal fluctuations are, respectively, important. The theory is implemented on physical grounds, by adopting a fermionic self-energy in the broken-symmetry phase that represents fermions coupled to superconducting fluctuations in weak coupling and to bosons described by the Bogoliubov theory in strong coupling. This extension of the theory beyond mean field proves important at finite temperature, to connect with the results in the normal phase. The order parameter, the chemical potential, and the single-particle spectral function are calculated numerically for a wide range of coupling and temperature. This enables us to assess the quantitative importance of superconducting fluctuations in the broken-symmetry phase over the whole BCS-BEC crossover. Our results are relevant to the possible realizations of this crossover with high-temperature cuprate superconductors and with ultracold fermionic atoms in a trap.
