The CHA and Beyond The Role of Legislation in National Reform in Health Care
Creators: name: Forest, Pierre-Gerlier
name: Stoltz, Lori
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2022

description: This paper is centred on the use of legislation as a tool of public action in health policy. We suggest that as with the Canada Health Act of 1984, this option should be considered to direct future reform efforts and pursue our collective aims of health and wellness. The CHA is the legislative expression of the federal government’s exercise of its spending power, serving to consolidate key national agreements governing the circumstances under which the federal government contributes to the costs of medically necessary health services delivered by the provinces and territories. Two features of the CHA merit highlighting. The first is that its core provisions – in particular, the five criteria often referred to as Canada’s “national standards” for health care – were not new or original to the CHA. The CHA was nonetheless an important step in the development of Canada’s health system because it enshrined together, in one statute, longstanding commitments. A second feature of the CHA worth highlighting is that it does not stand alone. The CHA is one of 13 statutes across the country, including one in each province and territory, that serve together to establish the basic legal infrastructure of Canada’s health insurance system. The CHA’s powers to make regulations and issue policy interpretation letters offer important potential to achieve needed health system reforms without needing to “open” the Act. Even where these powers are unrestricted by an express requirement for consultation with the provinces and territories, however, this would undoubtedly be required given the fundamentally consensual nature of the CHA. Finally, the federal government’s legislative options are not limited to the CHA. Jurisdiction over health and health care in Canada is shared between the federal and provincial and territorial governments. The various federal powers with health aspects allocated by the Constitution Act, 1867 are significant, including the residual “federal health power” to make laws “for the peace, order and good government of Canada” (POGG). It therefore makes good sense to consider federal policy objectives in the health domain with regard for the full spectrum of federal legislative competence.

Higgs Mechanism in the Presence of a Topological Term

description: In cases of both abelian and nonabelian gauge groups, we study the Higgs mechanism in the topologically massive gauge theories in an arbitrary space-time dimension. We show that when the conventional Higgs potential coexists with a topological term, gauge fields become massive by 'eating' simultaneously both the Nambu-Goldstone boson and a higher-rank tensor field, and instead a new massless scalar field is 'vomitted' in the physical spectrum. Because of the appearance of this new massless field, the number of the physical degrees of freedom remains unchanged before and after the spontaneous symmetry breakdown. Moreover, the fact that the new field is a physical and positive norm state is rigorously proved by performing the manifestly covariant quantization of the model in three and four dimensions. In the mechanism at hand, the presence of a topological term makes it possible to shift mass of gauge fields in a nontrivial manner compared to the conventional value.

description: We report the discovery and multiwavelength followup of LEDA 1313424 ("Bullseye"), a collisional ring galaxy (CRG) with nine readily-identified rings -- the most so far reported for a CRG. These data shed new light on the rapid, multi-ring phase of CRG evolution. Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, we identify and measure nine ring structures, several of which are "piled up" near the center of the galaxy, while others extend to tens of kpc scales. We also identify faint patches of emission at large radii ($\sim$70 kpc) in the HST imaging, and confirm the association of this emission with the galaxy via spectroscopy. Deep ground based imaging using the Dragonfly Telephoto Array finds evidence that this patch of emission is part of an older, fading ring from the collision. We find that the locations of the detected rings are an excellent match to predictions from analytic theory, if the galaxy was a 10-ring system whose outermost ring has faded away. We identify the likely impacting galaxy via Keck/KCWI spectroscopy, finding evidence for gas extending between it and the Bullseye. The overall size of this galaxy rivals that of known Giant Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (GLSBs) such as Malin I, lending credence to the hypothesis that CRGs can evolve into GLSBs as their rings expand and fade. Analysis of the HI content in this galaxy from ALFALFA finds significantly elevated neutral hydrogen with respect to the galaxy's stellar mass, another feature in alignment with GLSB systems.

description: Mining a set of meaningful and distinctive topics automatically from massive text corpora has broad applications. Existing topic models, however, typically work in a purely unsupervised way, which often generate topics that do not fit users' particular needs and yield suboptimal performance on downstream tasks. We propose a new task, discriminative topic mining, which leverages a set of user-provided category names to mine discriminative topics from text corpora. This new task not only helps a user understand clearly and distinctively the topics he/she is most interested in, but also benefits directly keyword-driven classification tasks. We develop CatE, a novel category-name guided text embedding method for discriminative topic mining, which effectively leverages minimal user guidance to learn a discriminative embedding space and discover category representative terms in an iterative manner. We conduct a comprehensive set of experiments to show that CatE mines high-quality set of topics guided by category names only, and benefits a variety of downstream applications including weakly-supervised classification and lexical entailment direction identification.

description: Ideally, humane endpoints allow for early termination of experiments by minimizing an animal’s discomfort, distress and pain, while ensuring that scientific objectives are reached. Yet, lack of commonly agreed methodology and heterogeneity of cut-off values published in the literature remain a challenge to the accurate determination and application of humane endpoints. With the aim to synthesize and appraise existing humane endpoint definitions for commonly used physiological parameters, we conducted a systematic review of mouse studies of acute and chronic disease models, which used body weight, temperature and/or sickness scores for endpoint definition. In the second part of the study, we used previously published and unpublished data on weight, temperature and sickness scores from mouse models of sepsis and stroke and applied machine learning algorithms to assess the usefulness of this method for parameter selection and endpoint definition across models. Studies were searched for in two electronic databases (MEDLINE/Pubmed and Embase). Out of 110 retrieved full-text manuscripts, 34 studies were included. We found large intra- and inter-model variance in humane endpoint determination and application due to varying animal models, lack of standardized experimental protocols and heterogeneity of performance metrics (part 1). Machine learning models trained with physiological data and sickness severity score or modified DeSimoni neuroscore identified animals with a high risk of death at an early time point in both mouse models of stroke (male: 93.2% at 72h post-treatment; female: 93.0% at 48h post-treatment) and sepsis (96.2% at 24h post-treatment), thus demonstrating generalizability in endpoint determination across models (part 2).
Trans-Planckian Dark Energy?

description: It has recently been proposed by Mersini et al. 01, Bastero-Gil and Mersini 02 that the dark energy could be attributed to the cosmological properties of a scalar field with a non-standard dispersion relation that decreases exponentially at wave-numbers larger than Planck scale (k_phys > M_Planck). In this scenario, the energy density stored in the modes of trans-Planckian wave-numbers but sub-Hubble frequencies produced by amplification of the vacuum quantum fluctuations would account naturally for the dark energy. The present article examines this model in detail and shows step by step that it does not work. In particular, we show that this model cannot make definite predictions since there is no well-defined vacuum state in the region of wave-numbers considered, hence the initial data cannot be specified unambiguously. We also show that for most choices of initial data this scenario implies the production of a large amount of energy density (of order M_Planck^4) for modes with momenta of order M_Planck, far in excess of the background energy density. We evaluate the amount of fine-tuning in the initial data necessary to avoid this back-reaction problem and find it is of order H/M_Planck. We also argue that the equation of state of the trans-Planckian modes is not vacuum-like. Therefore this model does not provide a suitable explanation for the dark energy.

Azimuthal anisotropy and correlations in the hard scattering regime at RHIC

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: Azimuthal anisotropy ($v_2$) and two-particle angular correlations of high $p_T$ charged hadrons have been measured in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=130 GeV for transverse momenta up to 6 GeV/c, where hard processes are expected to contribute significantly. The two-particle angular correlations exhibit elliptic flow and a structure suggestive of fragmentation of high $p_T$ partons. The monotonic rise of $v_2(p_T)$ for $p_T<2$ GeV/c is consistent with collective hydrodynamical flow calculations. At $\pT>3$ GeV/c a saturation of $v_2$ is observed which persists up to $p_T=6$ GeV/c.

The original contribution of this analysis is the evidence provided on regional differences among consumers in their evaluations. We interpret this result as the higher level of information available to consumers that live in the production region of the food product in question, thus giving less value to P.D.O. certification. The product that this study focuses on is Italian P.D.O. Fontina cheese. In order to conduct the study, we collected original data that we analyze through the conjoint analysis technique.

description: The possibility of a small modification of spinor Quantum Electro-Dynamics is reconsidered, in which Lorentz and CPT non-covariant kinetic terms for photons and fermions are present. The corresponding free field theory is carefully discussed. The finite one-loop parity-odd induced effective action is unambiguously calculated using the physical cutoff method, which manifestly encodes the maximal residual symmetry group allowed by the presence of the Lorentz and CPT breaking axial-vector. This very same induced effective action, which is different from those ones so far quoted in the Literature, is also re-derived by means of the dimensional regularization, provided the maximal residual symmetry is maintained in the enlarged $D$-dimensional space-time. As a consequence, it turns out that the requirement of keeping the maximal residual symmetry at the quantum level just corresponds to the physical renormalization prescription which naturally fixes the one-loop parity-odd induced effective action.

description: We investigate differentiated product pricing and the effects of vertical organization under imperfect competition. We rely on vertical measures of concentration (termed VHHI) to study how the exercise of market power varies with substitution/complementarity relationships among products and vertical structures. This approach is applied to U.S. soybean seed pricing under vertical integration versus licensing. We find evidence that vertical organization affects seed prices, with an impact ranging from 1.87% to 13.6% of the mean price. These effects vary by institutional setup.We also find that complementarity can mitigate price enhancements associated with market concentration.

More importantly, our results demonstrate that the shielding effect does not interfere with the actual trapping and cooling process, and it is produced by the lattice lasers themselves, without the need to use additional laser beams.

The demand system is fitted to U.S. annual aggregate data over the last half of the 20th century and findings include that the price and income elasticity of demand for food-at-home are roughly two times larger than for food-away-from-home and that food-at-home and away-from-home are substitutes. The price and income elasticity of demand for men’s unpaid housework are twice as large as for women’s unpaid housework and women’s and men’s unpaid housework are shown to be complements.

description: Zeroth-order optimization is the process of minimizing an objective $f(x)$, given oracle access to evaluations at adaptively chosen inputs $x$. In this paper, we present two simple yet powerful GradientLess Descent (GLD) algorithms that do not rely on an underlying gradient estimate and are numerically stable. We analyze our algorithm from a novel geometric perspective and present a novel analysis that shows convergence within an $ε$-ball of the optimum in $O(kQ\log(n)\log(R/ε))$ evaluations, for any monotone transform of a smooth and strongly convex objective with latent dimension $k < n$, where the input dimension is $n$, $R$ is the diameter of the input space and $Q$ is the condition number. Our rates are the first of its kind to be both 1) poly-logarithmically dependent on dimensionality and 2) invariant under monotone transformations. We further leverage our geometric perspective to show that our analysis is optimal. Both monotone invariance and its ability to utilize a low latent dimensionality are key to the empirical success of our algorithms, as demonstrated on BBOB and MuJoCo benchmarks.

description: We report on the results of scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on single crystals of Mg2. Tunneling was performed both parallel and perpendicular to the crystalline c-axis. In the first case, a single superconducting gap (Delta_pi = 2.2 meV) associated with the pi-band is observed. Tunneling parallel to the ab-plane reveals an additional, larger gap (Delta_sigma ~ 7 meV) originating in the highly two-dimensional sigma-band. Vortex imaging in the pi-band was performed with the field and tunnel current parallel to the c-axis. The vortices have a large core size compared to estimates based on Hc2, and show an absence of localized states in the core. Furthermore, superconductivity between the vortices is rapidly suppressed by an applied field. A comparison to specific heat measurements is performed.

Publisher: name: Universität Bern

Subjects: subject: 320 Political science

description: In many European democracies immigration has become a key issue of political contestation. International migration is the most visible consequence of globalisation and at the same time the main reason for a political backlash against deeper international integration. This thesis investigates politics in times of contested globalisation by studying immigration policy-making from a perspective of democratic legitimacy: How do liberal democracies reconcile the economic imperative for open borders and the political imperative for closed borders? The thesis develops a novel argument that immigration policy-making can neither ignore economic needs nor political demands without jeopardising political support and that therefore policy choices on immigration follow the available room to manoeuvre: Governments prioritise economic needs in the external dimension of immigrant admission where they face significant constraints and prioritise political demands in the internal dimension of immigrant integration where they enjoy significant discretion. This argument is first tested with an analysis of policy choices in 18 West European democracies between 1980 and 2014. The results show that admission polices have become more liberal following economic needs regardless of who is in the government, whereas integration policies have become more restrictive and partisan in response to domestic politicisation. The second empirical part consists of a case study on a 2014 anti-immigration referendum in Switzerland exposing the political dilemma: The popular vote to reintroduce immigration quota clashed with Switzerland’s international treaty of free movement of people with the EU and its access to the European Single Market. The analysis using media content and population survey analysis shows that the dilemma was resolved not by restricting immigrant admission but by strengthening domestic labour market integration, a decision largely accepted by the public. These findings paint a consistent pattern that Western Europe has increasingly liberalised the admission of immigrants to fulfil economic needs despite a critical public, and shifted to domestic integration policies to respond to increasing political demands from their constituents. This bears important implications for the understanding of contemporary migration politics and democratic  legitimacy in times of contested globalisation.

description: The symmetry properties of the bosonic string effective action under Poisson-Lie duality transformations are investigated. A convenient and simple formulation of these duality transformations is found, that allows the reduction of the string effective action in a Kaluza-Klein framework. It is shown that the action is invariant provided that the two Lie algebras, forming the Drinfeld double, have traceless structure constants. Finally, a functional relation is found between the Weyl anomaly coefficients of the original and dual non-linear sigma models.

description: Insight into why superconductivity in pristine and doped monolayer graphene seems strongly suppressed has been central for the recent years' various creative approaches to realize superconductivity in graphene and graphene-like systems. We provide further insight by studying electron-phonon coupling and superconductivity in doped monolayer graphene and hexagonal boron nitride based on intrinsic phonon modes. Solving the graphene gap equation using a detailed model for the effective attraction based on electron tight binding and phonon force constant models, the various system parameters can be tuned at will. Consistent with results in the literature, we find slight gap modulations along the Fermi surface, and the high energy phonon modes are shown to be the most significant for the superconductivity instability. The Coulomb interaction plays a major role in suppressing superconductivity at realistic dopings. Motivated by the direct onset of a large density of states at the Fermi surface for small charge dopings in hexagonal boron nitride, we also calculate the dimensionless electron-phonon coupling strength there, but the comparatively large density of states cannot immediately be capitalized on, and the charge doping necessary to obtain significant electron-phonon coupling is similar to the value in graphene.

description: The core-cusp problem is a widely cited motivation for the exploration of dark matter models beyond standard CDM. One such alternative is ULDM; extremely light scalar particles exhibiting wavelike properties on kiloparsec scales. Astrophysically realistic ULDM halos are expected to consist of inner solitonic cores embedded in NFW-like outer halos. The presence of the solitonic core suggests that ULDM may resolve the core-cusp discrepancy associated with pure NFW halos without recourse to baryonic physics. However, it has been demonstrated that the density of ULDM halos can exceed those of comparable NFW configurations at some radii and halo masses, apparently exacerbating the problem rather than solving it. This situation arises because, although solitonic cores are flat at their centres, they obey an inverse mass-radius scaling relationship. Meanwhile, the mass of the inner soliton increases with the total halo mass, and therefore the inner core becomes more peaked at large halo masses. We describe a parameterisation of the radial density profiles of ULDM halos that allows for environmental variability of the core-halo mass relation in order to investigate this issue in more detail. For halos up to 10^12 solar masses we find feasible ULDM profiles for which the central density is lower than their NFW counterparts at astrophysically accessible radii. However, comparisons to observed profiles do not strongly favour either option; both give reasonable fits to subsets of the data for some parameter choices. Consequently, we find that robust tests of the core-cusp problem in ULDM will require more comprehensive observational data and simulations that include baryonic feedback.

description: We investigate the statistics of gravitational lenses in flat, low-density cosmological models with different cosmic equations of state w. We compute the lensing probabilities as a function of image separation θusing a lens population described by the mass function of Jenkins et al. and modeled as singular isothermal spheres on galactic scales and as Navarro, Frenk & White halos on cluster scales. It is found that COBE-normalized models with w > - 0.4 produce too few arcsecond-scale lenses in comparison with the JVAS/CLASS radio survey, a result that is consistent with other observational constraints on w. The wide-separation (θ> 4'') lensing rate is a particularly sensitive probe of both w and the halo mass concentration. The absence of these systems in the current JVAS/CLASS data excludes highly concentrated halos in w < -0.7 models. The constraints can be improved by ongoing and future lensing surveys of > 10^5 sources.

description: The ultra-light scalar fields can arise ubiquitously, for instance, as a result of the spontaneous breaking of an approximate symmetry such as the axion and more generally the axion-like particles. In addition to the particle physics motivations, these particles can also play a major role in cosmology by contributing to dark matter abundance and affecting the structure formation at sub-Mpc scales. In this paper, we propose to use the 21cm forest observations to probe the nature of ultra-light dark matter. The 21cm forest can probe much smaller scales than the Lyman-$α$ forest, that is, $k\gtrsim 10\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. We explore the range of the ultra-light dark matter mass $m_{u}$ and $f_u$, the fraction of ultra-light dark matter with respect to the total matter, which can be probed by the 21cm forest. We find that 21cm forest can potentially put the dark matter mass lower bound $m_u \gtrsim 10^{-18}$ eV for $f_u=1$, which is 3 orders of magnitude bigger mass scale than those probed by the current Lyman-$α$ forest observations.While the effects of the ultra-light particles on the structure formation become smaller when the dominant component of dark matter is composed of the conventional cold dark matter, we find that the 21cm forest is still powerful enough to probe the sub-component ultra-light dark matter mass up to the order of $10^{-19}$ eV. The Fisher matrix analysis shows that $(m_u,f_u)\sim (10^{-20}\mathrm{eV}, 0.3)$ is the most optimal parameter set which the 21cm forest can probe with the minimal errors for a sub-component ultra-light dark matter scenario.

description: Sewage generated in Southeast Asia is typically characterized by small per-capita flow and low concentration. This study investigated the impacts of exfiltration (leaking-out) and infiltration (leaking-in) on sewage flow and quality in Hue, Vietnam. Sewage flow and quality were continuously monitored at the sewer outlet of a residential drainage area for 68 and 82 days during dry and rainy seasons, respectively. Infiltration was estimated based on the least sewage flow before morning. Lithium tracer tests were conducted to estimate the exfiltration ratio. The results indicated that sewage of the target sewer was weaker than the typical weak-strength sewage even on no-rain days of the dry season. Monitoring of electrical conductivity indicated that rainfall persistently decreased the sewage concentration for a maximum duration of 228 h. The estimated infiltration accounted for 11% and 62% of the total sewage inflow to the sewer during dry and rainy seasons, respectively. The tracer test indicated that exfiltration ratios during the dry and rainy seasons were 65.6% and 24.0%, respectively. As a result of developing the water balance, only 23% of the water supplied to the area reached the sewer outlet in the dry season, while 123% flowed in the rainy season. These results demonstrate that exfiltration decreased the sewage flow in the dry season, while infiltration significantly increased the sewage flow and decreased the sewage concentration in the rainy season. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to quantify the impacts of infiltration and exfiltration on sewage in Southeast Asia.

Statistical Modeling of Networked Solar Resources for Assessing and Mitigating Risk of Interdependent Inverter Tripping Events in Distribution Grids

description: It is speculated that higher penetration of inverter-based distributed photo-voltaic (PV) power generators can increase the risk of tripping events due to voltage fluctuations. To quantify this risk utilities need to solve the interactive equations of tripping events for networked PVs in real-time. However, these equations are non-differentiable, nonlinear, and exponentially complex, and thus, cannot be used as a tractable basis for solar curtailment prediction and mitigation. Furthermore, load/PV power values might not be available in real-time due to limited grid observability, which further complicates tripping event prediction. To address these challenges, we have employed Chebyshev's inequality to obtain an alternative probabilistic model for quantifying the risk of tripping for networked PVs. The proposed model enables operators to estimate the probability of interdependent inverter tripping events using only PV/load statistics and in a scalable manner. Furthermore, by integrating this probabilistic model into an optimization framework, countermeasures are designed to mitigate massive interdependent tripping events. Since the proposed model is parameterized using only the statistical characteristics of nodal active/reactive powers, it is especially beneficial in practical systems, which have limited real-time observability. Numerical experiments have been performed employing real data and feeder models to verify the performance of the proposed technique.

On the extremality bound of stringy black holes

description: A mild version of the weak gravity conjecture (WGC) states that extremal black holes have charge-to-mass ratio larger or equal than one when higher-curvature interactions are taken into account. Since these corrections become more relevant in the low-mass regime, this would allow the decay of extremal black holes in terms of energy and charge conservation. Evidence in this direction has been mainly given in the context of corrections to Einstein-Maxwell theory. Here we compute corrections to the charge-to-mass ratio of some dyonic extremal black holes explicitly embedded in the heterotic string effective theory. We find that modifications of the extremality bound depend on the solution considered, with the charge-to-mass ratio remaining unchanged or deviating positively from one. Additionally, we observe that the introduction of the higher-curvature terms increases the Wald entropy in all cases considered, whose variation does not seem to be correlated with the charge-to-mass ratio, contrary to the situation in Einstein-Maxwell theory.

The essential element is to drive single atom Raman transitions using laser pulses. Our scheme is simple, efficient, and can be readily applied to the recent experimental system as reported by Greiner {\it et al.} [ Nature {\bf 413}, 44 (2002)].

description: Macrophages are specialized antigen-presenting cells that process and present self-antigens for induction of tolerance, and foreign antigens to initiate T cell-mediated immunity. Despite this, Leishmania donovani (LD) are able to parasitize the macrophages and persist. The impact of this parasitizing and persistence on antigen processing and presentation by macrophages remains poorly defined. To gain insight into this, we analyzed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and compared the HLA-I self-peptidomes, proteasome compositions, HLA expression and activation states of non-infected and LD-infected THP1-derived macrophages. We found that, though both HLA-I peptidomes were dominated by nonapeptides, they were heterogeneous and individualized, with differences in HLA binding affinities and anchor residues. Non-infected and LD-infected THP1-derived macrophages were able to sample peptides from source proteins of almost all subcellular locations and involved in various cellular functions, but in different proportions. In the infected macrophages, there was increased sampling of plasma membrane and extracellular proteins, and those involved in immune responses, cell communication/signal transduction and metabolism/energy pathways, and decreased sampling of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins and those involved in protein metabolism, RNA binding and cell growth and/or maintenance. Though the activation state of infected macrophages was unchanged, their proteasome composition was altered.
