description: Democratization in Southeast Asia has long been of scholarly interests, particularly following the Third Wave, which saw the democratization of the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, as well as the political liberalization of Malaysia, Singapore, and Cambodia. However, excitements over democracy were soon overshadowed by creeping doubts over their survivability. By the 2000s, democratization has either decelerated or regressed in some of the region’s most strategic countries, most notably Thailand and the Philippines. As ASEAN is on the verge of liberalization, this poses negative implications to the organization as well. This paper seeks to identify common variables that threaten democratic institutions in Southeast Asia. Scholars of Southeast Asia have proposed numerous variables that threaten the region’s young democracies, ranging from the system of government to geographic attributes. This paper will not attempt to identify a new variable. Rather, it will assess the three dominant approaches in the study of democratic survival in the region – socioeconomic, structural, and ethnic and cultural – in order to identify what common challenges threaten Southeast Asia’s democratic institutions. In order to do so, this paper will also adopt a unique approach to the topic by primarily focusing on the period between 2000 and 2010, which has seen the beginning of the gradual decline of democratic progression in many parts of Southeast Asia. Rather than conduct a region-wide study, it will primarily focus on three of the region’s biggest democracies: Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. By adopting this nuanced approach to the study of democratic survival in Southeast Asia, this paper has uncovered that the biggest factors that contribute to the gradual deceleration or regression of the democratization process were unstable elite relations and a power struggle between members of the elite, at large, and the middle class. The variety of variables that shape this power balance determine the life length and stability of democratic institutions. This paper’s primary contribution to the literature is its unique approach to the study of democratic survival. By focusing on the period between 2000 and 2010, it has managed to find evidence for the structuralist and cultural arguments that actors, political culture, and ethnic conflict shape the democratization process. But it has also managed to disprove the dominant socioeconomic approach that argue that socioeconomic factors pose significant risks to the democratization process in the region. With this primary contribution, this paper also hopes to add on to further discussions on the impact of structural actors of the region’s young democracies on the future of ASEAN as a whole.
The estimation of the rate of return to education in China: an empirical analysis using instrument variable estimation with months of birth and its Issues

description: Any attempt to estimate the rate of return to education using ordinary least squares (OLS) models suffers from omitted variable bias due to unobservable factors that are correlated with both the education variable and the return dependent variable. Instrument Variables, such as the birth months of students, provide an alternative estimation method that can create less biased estimates. The validity of the birth months as instrument variables depends on being uncorrelated with individual personal attributes while having an effect on the education outcome of the individual. However, the exogenous criterion is violated if unobservable factors influences the month of birth and education outcome creating the omitted variable bias problem. We investigate if the birth month is a good instrument for use in estimating the rate of return to education using empirical evidence from the 2000 Chinese Population Census and the 2009 Chinese Urban Household Income and Expenditure Survey. We split the sample into two groups, individuals with rural education and individuals with urban education due to an urban/rural education gap that the literature captures. A Two Stage Least Squares Model (TSLS) is run to estimate the rate of return to education and to determine if the instrument birth month variables are strong instruments. We also run an OLS model to compare the OLS rate of return to education with the TSLS estimates. We use the parent’s education level as a proxy for socioeconomic status and investigate if there is a violation of the exclusion restriction for the birth month instruments. We find students born after August typically achieving a higher education level on average than students born in the August and months before August. In addition, there is a significant and positive rate of return to education using IV estimation which is larger than the OLS estimate of the return to education. We find that parent’s socio economic status either has an insignificant or trivial effect on the timing of births. We conclude there is a significant birth month effect on education and that the birth month variables are independent of parental background variables. We also find the birth month variables to be weak instruments but we argue that the bias present is less than the bias present in the OLS estimation of the rate of return to education.

 Comments. The original description of G. plutenkoi is based on a single holotype from “ Russia, Primorsky Kray ” collected by A. Plutenko (Glotov, 2014). In the original description, the species was not assigned to any subgenus, which has caused some confusion and in the catalog of the Palearctic (Schülke & Smetana, 2015), rendering it a “species incertae sedis”. According to external morphological features, including: the shape and proportions of the length and width of the head, which is strongly transverse, the size and nature of the convexity of the eyes, and the nature of the narrowing of the head behind the eyes, as well as the shape of aedeagus, the species can be placed in the subgenus Gyrophaena.

description: Smartphones have become an intrinsic part of human's life. The smartphone unifies diverse advanced characteristics. It enables users to store various data such as photos, health data, credential bank data, and personal information. The Android operating system is the prevalent mobile operating system and, in the meantime, the most targeted operating system by malware developers. Recently the unparalleled development of Android malware put pressure on researchers to propose effective methods to suppress the spread of the malware. In this paper, we propose a deep learning approach for Android malware detection. The proposed approach investigates five different feature sets and applies Autoencoder to identify malware. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can identify malware with high accuracy.

description: The Chandra image of the central region of the Coma cluster reveals that both its dominant galaxies, NGC4874 and NGC4889, retain the central parts of their X-ray gas coronae. The interstellar gas with a temperature of 1-2 keV is confined by the hot intergalactic medium of the Coma cluster into compact clouds (only 3 kpc in radius) containing 10^8 M_sun of gas. The physical state of the gas in these clouds appears to be determined by a delicate balance between radiative cooling and suppressed (by a factor of 30-100) heat conduction through the interface between these clouds and the hot cluster gas.

description: Galaxies continuously reprocess their interstellar material. One can therefore expect changing dust grain properties in galaxies which have followed different evolutionary pathways. Determining the intrinsic dust grain mix of a galaxy helps in reconstructing its evolutionary history. Early-type galaxies occasionally display regular dust lanes in their central regions. Due to the relatively simple geometry and composition of their stellar bodies, these galaxies are ideal to disentangle dust mix variations from geometric effects. We therefore model the various components of such a galaxy (FCC 167). We reconstruct its recent history, and investigate the possible fate of the dust lane. MUSE and ALMA observations reveal a nested ISM structure. An ionised-gas disk pervades the central regions of FCC 167, including those occupied by the main dust lane. Inward of the dust lane, we also find a disk/ring of cold molecular gas where stars are forming and HII regions contribute to the ionised-gas emission. Further in, the gas ionisation points towards an active galactic nucleus and the fuelling of a central supermassive black hole from its surrounding ionised and molecular reservoir. Observational constraints and radiative transfer models suggest the dust and gas are distributed in a ring-like geometry and the dust mix lacks small grains. The derived dust destruction timescales from sputtering in hot gas are short and we conclude that the dust must be strongly self-shielding and clumpy, or will quickly be eroded and disappear. Our findings show how detailed analysis of individual systems can complement statistical studies of dust-lane ETGs.

Making history from Japan's margins: Ōta Masahide and Okinawa

description: On 28 September 1995, Okinawan Governor Ota Masahide announced that he had decided to refuse to act as proxy in the signing of leases for land utilized by the US military within Okinawa prefecture. In his subsequent testimony to the Japanese Supreme Court, he argued that the disproportionate burden of US bases in Okinawa amounted to a form of institutionalised discrimination. More than any previous governor, Ota drew connections between the base issue-or what he has repeatedlytermed the "Okinawan problem"-and questions of democracy, autonomy, and cultural diversity. Before running for governor in 1990, Ota was an academic and a central figure in Okinawan public debate. Spanning almost fifty years, he has written over 60 books on contemporary issues concerning Okinawa. This thesis explores the multiple connections between "politics" and "history" within the life and work of Ota Masahide as an intellectual and as governor of Okinawa. I trace the way in which Ota has negotiated and contested Japanese national paradigms of homogeneity and US military power within historical discourse and as activist and politician. In postwar Okinawa, claims to Okinawan culture and history have been inherently politicised, just as contests over Okinawa's position in relation to Japan and against the US military presence are also cultural and historical contests. Within the intersection between politics and history, the question of how to conceive of history from "the margins" has also been a question of how to perceive and combat the cultural, economic, and political structures by which Okinawa is marginalised within Japan and under US-Japan relations.

description: Relativistic prescription is used to study the slow rotation of stars composed by self-gravitating bosons and fermions (fermions may be considered as neutrons). Previous results demand that purely boson stars are unable to display slow rotation, if one uses relativistic prescription with classical scalar fields. In contrast to this, the present work shows that a combined boson-neutron star in its ground-state can rotate. Their structure and stability are analysed under slow rotation approximations.

description: The advent of deep perceptual networks brought about a paradigm shift in machine vision and image perception. Image apprehension lately carried out by hand-crafted features in the latent space have been replaced by deep features acquired from supervised networks for improved understanding. However, such deep networks require strict supervision with a substantial amount of the labeled data for authentic training process. These methods perform poorly in domains lacking labeled data especially in case of remote sensing image retrieval. Resolving this, we propose an unsupervised encoder-decoder feature for remote sensing image matching (RSIM). Moreover, we replace the conventional distance metrics with a deep discriminator network to identify the similarity of the image pairs. To the best of our knowledge, discriminator network has never been used before for solving RSIM problem. Results have been validated with two publicly available benchmark remote sensing image datasets. The technique has also been investigated for content-based remote sensing image retrieval (CBRSIR); one of the widely used applications of RSIM. Results demonstrate that our technique supersedes the state-of-the-art methods used for unsupervised image matching with mean average precision (mAP) of 81%, and image retrieval with an overall improvement in mAP score of about 12%.

description: Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and manual tests remain the standard for diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Furthermore, the passive knee displacement, also described as anterior tibial translation (ATT), is used in order to make decisions about surgery or to assess rehabilitation outcomes. Unfortunately, these manual tests are limited to passive situations, and their application to assess knee stability in loaded, weight-bearing positions are missing. Therefore, a new device with high-performance sensors and a new sensor setting was developed. The aim of this exploratory cross-sectional study was to assess the test-retest reliability of this new device in a first step and the concurrent validity in a second step. Methods: A total of 20 healthy volunteers were measured. Measurement consistency of the new device was assessed on the basis of reliability during Lachman test setting and in loaded position by artificial knee perturbation in a test-retest procedure. In a second step, the concurrent validity was evaluated with the Lachmeter® as a reference instrument. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), the minimal detectable change (MDC) and Bland-Altman analysis were evaluated to assess the quality criteria. Results: The measurements with the new device during the Lachman test provided a mean ATT of 5.46±2.22mm. The SEM ranged from 0.60 to 0.69mm resulting in an MDC between 1.67 and 1.93mm for the new device. In the loaded test situation, the mean ATT was 2.11±1.20mm, with test-retest reliability also showing good correlation (r>0.83). The comparison of the two measurement methods with an ICC of (r>0.89) showed good correlation, which also underlines the reasonable agreement of the Bland-Altman analysis. Conclusions: The evaluation of the test-retest reliability of the new device during the knee stability testing in passive situation as well as in a functional, loaded situation presented good reliability. In addition, the new device demonstrated good agreement with the reference device and therefore good validity. Furthermore, the quality criteria demonstrated the ability of the new device to detect the cut-off value (3-5mm) described in the literature for the diagnosis of ACL-deficient knees, which underlines the clinical relevance of this new device as a reliable and valid tool. Keywords: ACL injury; Anterior tibial translation; Functional joint stability; High frequency sensor device; Knee kinematics; Reproducibility of results.

description: The introduction of decentralized energy resources as well as energy storage systems to the energy system calls for new control and coordination mechanisms and systems. This is also true for buildings. An optimized operation of buildings comprising decentralized generation and energy storage systems can be achieved by a building energy management system. It controls and coordinates the operation of individual devices in a building's energy system to achieve given goals, such as the increase of energy efficiency, the decrease of carbon emissions, the minimization of operating costs or the provision of demand response measures. This thesis picks up on this idea and extends the ongoing research by presenting an approach to the optimized operation of building energy systems that includes the uncertainties in the predictions of the future energy generation and consumption into the control scheme of a building energy management system. To do so, this thesis identified the use of a scenario-based consideration of the uncertainties to be best suited. The presented approach uses a rolling horizon optimization approach with a stochastic two-stage optimization problem, which considers several forecast scenarios in the optimization.

description: Multiresolution analyses based upon interpolets, interpolating scaling functions introduced by Deslauriers and Dubuc, are particularly well-suited to physical applications because they allow exact recovery of the multiresolution representation of a function from its sample values on a finite set of points in space. We present a detailed study of the application of wavelet concepts to physical problems expressed in such bases. The manuscript describes algorithms for the associated transforms which, for properly constructed grids of variable resolution, compute correctly without having to introduce extra grid points. We demonstrate that for the application of local homogeneous operators in such bases, the non-standard multiply of Beylkin, Coifman and Rokhlin also proceeds exactly for inhomogeneous grids of appropriate form. To obtain less stringent conditions on the grids, we generalize the non-standard multiply so that communication may proceed between non-adjacent levels. The manuscript concludes with timing comparisons against naive algorithms and an illustration of the scale-independence of the convergence rate of the conjugate gradient solution of Poisson's equation using a simple preconditioning, suggesting that this approach leads to an O(n) solution of this equation.

description: Earlier a magnetic anisotropy for magnetic impurities nearby the surface of non-magnetic host was proposed in order to explain the size dependence of the Kondo effect in dilute magnetic alloys. Recently Giordano has measured the magnetoresistance of dilute Au(Fe) films for different thicknesses well above the Kondo temperature $T_K$. In this way he verified the existence of that anisotropy even for such a case where the Kondo effect is not dominating. For detailed comparison of that suggestion with experiments, the magnetic field dependence of the magnetoresistance is calculated in the lowest approximation, thus in the second order of the exchange coupling. The strength of the anisotropy is very close to earlier estimates deduced from the size dependence of the Kondo resistivity amplitude.

description: Precision cosmology provides a sensitive probe of extremely weakly coupled states due to thermal freeze-in production, with subsequent decays impacting physics during well-tested cosmological epochs. We explore the cosmological implications of the freeze-in production of a new scalar $S$ via the super-renormalizable Higgs portal. If the mass of $S$ is at or below the electroweak scale, peak freeze-in production occurs during the electroweak epoch. We improve the calculation of the freeze-in abundance by including all relevant QCD and electroweak production channels. The resulting abundance and subsequent decay of $S$ is constrained by a combination of X-ray data, cosmic microwave background anisotropies and spectral distortions, $N_{\rm eff}$, and the consistency of BBN with observations. These probes constrain technically natural couplings for such scalars from $m_S \sim$ keV all the way to $m_S \sim 100$ GeV. The ensuing constraints are similar in spirit to typical beam bump limits, but extend to much smaller couplings, down to mixing angles as small as $θ_{Sh} \sim 10^{-16}$, and to masses all the way to the electroweak scale.

description: Many retailers have implemented mass customisation technologies to allow customers to individualise products. While the concept of customisation has been assessed, few studies to date have examined customisation among fashion-innovative students who may possess distinctive product needs. Thus, the purpose of this research was to assess the relationship between Attitude towards Mass Customization and Purchase Intention among fashion-innovative students. In addition, this study investigated the impact of Need for Uniqueness, Self-Identity, and Perceived Performance Risk on Attitude towards Mass Customization among fashion-innovative students. Data were collected using a self-administered online survey. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS – SEM) was employed to test the hypothesised model. Results indicate that a positive relationship existed between attitude towards customisation and purchase intention among fashion-innovative students. The study also revealed fashion-innovative students may possess the concern of perceived performance risk when considering the concept of customisation.

description: The localized magnon modes of isolated $kπ$ skyrmions on a field-polarized background are analyzed based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation within the terms of an atomistic classical spin model, with system parameters based on the Pd/Fe biatomic layer on Ir(111). For increasing skyrmion order $k$ a higher number of excitation modes are found, including modes with nodes in the radial eigenfunctions. It is shown that at low fields $2π$ and $3π$ skyrmions are destroyed via a burst instability connected to a breathing mode, while $1π$ skyrmions undergo an elliptic instability. At high fields all $kπ$ skyrmions collapse due to the instability of a breathing mode. The effective damping parameters of the spin waves are calculated in the low Gilbert damping limit, and they are found to diverge in the case of the lowest-lying modes at the burst and collapse instabilities, but not at the elliptic instability. It is shown that the breathing modes of $kπ$ skyrmions may become overdamped at higher Gilbert damping values.

description: I present data from Tolaki, an Austronesian language of Central Indonesia, which challenges the notion that grammatical functions form discrete categories. I argue that current models of grammatical functions within Lexical Functional Grammar cannot account for the data we find. If we were to posit discrete categories for grammatical functions on the basis of different behaviour under different morpho-syntactic tests, we would be forced to posit a minimum of nine categories in order to account for the results; nearly double the number of categories currently provided for by LFG. A better way of analysing the data we find in Tolaki is to posit a continuum of grammatical functions between the most and least privileged grammatical functions, subject and adjunct. Participants are located along this continuum and are either more subject-like or more adjunct-like.

description: We have measured the electromagnetic response of micron-size isolated mesoscopic GaAs/GaAlAs square dots down to temperature T=16mK, by coupling them to an electromagnetic micro-resonator. Both dissipative and non dissipative responses exhibit a large magnetic field dependent quantum correction, with a characteristic flux scale which corresponds to a flux quantum in a dot. The real (dissipative) magnetoconductance changes sign as a function of frequency for low enough density of electrons. The signal observed at frequency below the mean level spacing corresponds to a negative magnetoconductance, which is opposite to the weak localization seen in connected systems, and becomes positive at higher frequency. We propose an interpretation of this phenomenon in relation to fundamental properties of energy level spacing statistics in the dots.

description: Computational quantum technologies are entering a new phase in which noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers are available, but are still too small to benefit from active error correction. Even with a finite coherence budget to invest in quantum information processing, noisy devices with about 50 qubits are expected to experimentally demonstrate quantum supremacy in the next few years. Defined in terms of artificial tasks, current proposals for quantum supremacy, even if successful, will not help to provide solutions to practical problems. Instead, we believe that future users of quantum computers are interested in actual applications and that noisy quantum devices may still provide value by approximately solving hard combinatorial problems via hybrid classical-quantum algorithms. To lower bound the size of quantum computers with practical utility, we perform realistic simulations of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm and conclude that quantum speedup will not be attainable, at least for a representative combinatorial problem, until several hundreds of qubits are available.

description: Surface icing affects the safety and performance of numerous processes in technology. Previous studies mostly investigated freezing of individual droplets. The interaction among multiple droplets during freezing is investigated less, especially on nanotextured icephobic surfaces, despite its practical importance as water droplets never appear in isolation, but in groups. Here we show that freezing of a supercooled droplet leads to spontaneous self-heating and induces strong vaporization. The resulting, rapidly propagating vapor front causes immediate cascading freezing of neighboring supercooled droplets upon reaching them. We put forth the explanation that, as the vapor approaches cold neighboring droplets, it can lead to local supersaturation and formation of airborne microscopic ice crystals, which act as freezing nucleation sites. The sequential triggering and propagation of this mechanism results in the rapid freezing of an entire droplet ensemble resulting in ice coverage of the nanotextured surface. Although cascade freezing is observed in a low-pressure environment, it introduces an unexpected pathway of freezing propagation that can be crucial for the performance of rationally designed icephobic surfaces.

Coarse-grained field wave function in stochastic inflation

description: The wave function for the matter field fluctuations in the infrared sector is studied within the framework of inflationary cosmology. These fluctuations are described by a coarse-grained field which takes into account only the modes with wavelength much bigger than the size of the Hubble horizon. The case of a power-law expanding universe is considered and it is found that the relevant phase-space remains coherent under certain circumstances. In this case the classical stochastic treatment for matter field fluctuations is not valid, however, for $p > 4.6$, the system loses its coherence and a classical stochastic approximation is allowed.

description: The solar system's dynamical state can be explained by an orbital instability among the giant planets. A recent model has proposed that the giant planet instability happened during terrestrial planet formation. This scenario has been shown to match the inner solar system by stunting Mars' growth and preventing planet formation in the asteroid belt. Here we present a large sample of new simulations of the "Early Instability" scenario. We use an N-body integration scheme that accounts for collisional fragmentation, and also perform a large set of control simulations that do not include an early giant planet instability. Since the total particle number decreases slower when collisional fragmentation is accounted for, the growing planets' orbits are damped more strongly via dynamical friction and encounters with small bodies that dissipate angular momentum (eg: hit-and-run impacts). Compared with simulations without collisional fragmentation, our fully evolved systems provide better matches to the solar system's terrestrial planets in terms of their compact mass distribution and dynamically cold orbits. Collisional processes also tend to lengthen the dynamical accretion timescales of Earth analogs, and shorten those of Mars analogs. This yields systems with relative growth timescales more consistent with those inferred from isotopic dating. Accounting for fragmentation is thus supremely important for any successful evolutionary model of the inner solar system.

description: Based on a recently established formalism (U. Ebert, J. Stat. Phys. 82, 183 (1996)) we analyze the diffusive motion of a long polymer in a quenched random medium. The medium is modeled by a frozen semidilute polymer system. In the framework of standard renormalization group (RG) theory we present a systematic perturbative approach to handle such a many chain system. In contrast to the work of Ebert we here deal with long range correlated disorder and find an attractive RG fixed point. Unlike in polymer statics the semidilute limit here yields new nontrivial power laws for dynamic quantities. The exponents are intermediate between the Rouse and reptation results. An explicit one loop calculation for the center of mass motion is given.

description: Deep Learning is increasingly being adopted by industry for computer vision applications running on embedded devices. While Convolutional Neural Networks' accuracy has achieved a mature and remarkable state, inference latency and throughput are a major concern especially when targeting low-cost and low-power embedded platforms. CNNs' inference latency may become a bottleneck for Deep Learning adoption by industry, as it is a crucial specification for many real-time processes. Furthermore, deployment of CNNs across heterogeneous platforms presents major compatibility issues due to vendor-specific technology and acceleration libraries. In this work, we present QS-DNN, a fully automatic search based on Reinforcement Learning which, combined with an inference engine optimizer, efficiently explores through the design space and empirically finds the optimal combinations of libraries and primitives to speed up the inference of CNNs on heterogeneous embedded devices. We show that, an optimized combination can achieve 45x speedup in inference latency on CPU compared to a dependency-free baseline and 2x on average on GPGPU compared to the best vendor library. Further, we demonstrate that, the quality of results and time "to-solution" is much better than with Random Search and achieves up to 15x better results for a short-time search.
