Trafficking survivors

description: Every year an unknown number of people are trafficked to the UK for the purpose of exploitation. The literature identifies numerous psychological methods traffickers use to exert power and control over individuals (e.g. UNODC, 2021). Oath-taking ceremonies form part of a traditional spiritual belief system and have been identified as a method of psychological control within human trafficking through the exploitation of this existing belief system (Millett-Barrett, 2019; Ikeora, 2016). A systematic review of the literature showed a gap for research exploring survivors’ relationship to oath-taking as part of being trafficked and the subsequent impact it has had on their lives. This study takes a qualitative approach using inductive thematic analysis to explore survivors' accounts of their relationship to oath-taking. Ten West African women who have accessed and engaged with support following being trafficked were interviewed. Four main themes were identified through analysis: (1) The shifting of power, (2) The use of fear of “Juju” within human trafficking, (3) Loss, and (4) Moving on whilst living with the impact of “Juju” and the oath. The principal finding was the significant harm survivors have endured due to oath-taking as part of being trafficked and the devastating impact it has had on their lives. Findings are discussed in relation to past research and within the context of psychological theory, including the operation of power (Hagan and Smail, 1997). The clinical implications and recommendations which arise from this study are relevant for all professionals who encounter survivors who have experienced oath-taking as part of being trafficked and could lead to better support provided to survivors going forward.

description: Muslim Faith Leaders play an important role in Muslim communities. Despite being a primary support resource, research examining their experiences providing mental health support is limited. Amidst rising levels of Islamophobia and significant unrest regarding the inequalities that racialised minority communities face accessing healthcare, this qualitative study explores Muslim Faith Leaders experiences and impact providing mental health support, their conceptualising of mental health difficulties, and their experiences collaborating with mainstream MHS. Thirteen Muslim Faith Leaders working in a variety of settings participated in semi-structured interviews. Four main themes were constructed from Thematic Analysis: An Approach Grounded in the Islamic Worldview; A Complex Negotiation; Barriers, Stigma and Resistance to Accessing Support and Working Under the Shadow of Islamophobia. These themes reflect the complexities Muslim Faith Leaders report in their roles, defining experiences at a personal and professional level, and potential consequences of bridging the gap between statutory and community services. The findings are discussed with reference to previous theory and research, highlighting the implications for therapeutic practice, community, and policy, including the role the clinical psychology profession has in advocating for better access to and acceptability of services, and better collaboration with Muslim Faith leaders for Muslim communities.

description: Graphene quantum dot with Maxwell fish eye potential energy profile is studied. A quasiclassical approximation is used given that potential energy is a slowly varying function of coordinates. Near the zero energy the spectrum of electron macroscopically degenerates. All the electron trajectories are closed circles that are classified by angular momentum and an additional integral of motion. Provided the complete filling of the lower Dirac zone, a universal value for Hall conductivity is found.

$Z_{cs}$ states from the $D^{*}_s \bar D^*$ and $J/ψK^*$ coupled channels: Signal in $B^+ \to J/ψϕK^+$ decay

description: We study the $D^{*}_s \bar D^*$ system in connection with the $J/ψK^*$ in coupled channels and observe that, within reasonable values of the cut-off used to regularize the loops, the system does not develop a bound state. However, the $J^P = 2^+$ channel has enough attraction to create a strong cusp structure that shows up in the $J/ψK^+$ invariant mass distribution in the $B^+ \to J/ψϕK^+$ decay at the $D^*_s \bar D^*$ threshold. Such structure is visible in the experimental $B^+ \to J/ψϕK^+$ and $\bar B^0 \to J/ψK^+ K^-$ decays, with small statistics, and our results should stimulate further measurements around this region, given the fact that cusp effects provide as valuable information on hadron dynamics as resonances themselves.

description: We follow the evolution of four observed exoplanets to the time when the respective parent star of each planet evolves off the main sequence and engulfs its planet to start a common envelope evolution (CEE), concluding that in each case this process powers an intermediate luminosity optical transient (ILOT; luminous red nova). We characterise the final thousands of days of the orbital decay towards a CEE and determine the properties of the star at the onset of the CEE. We scale the properties of the ILOT V1309 Scorpii to the properties of a planet that enters a CEE inside a star on and near the Hertzsprung gap to estimate the duration and luminosity of the expected ILOT. Based on these we estimate that for a planet of Jupiter mass the ILOT will last for several days and reach a luminosity of several thousand solar luminosity. This type of ILOTs are less luminous than classical novae. Because of the small amount of expected dust and the small amount of energy that an accretion process onto the planet can release, such ILOTs can teach us on the merger at the onset of CEE of stellar companions. Our study adds to the variety of ILOTs that planets can power as they interact with a more massive companion.

description: 21cm intensity mapping experiments are bringing an influx of high spectral resolution observational data in the $\sim100$ MHz $- 1$ GHz regime. We use pilot $971-1075$ MHz data from MeerKAT in single-dish mode, recently used to test the calibration and data reduction scheme of the upcoming MeerKLASS survey, to probe the spectral index of diffuse synchrotron emission below 1 GHz within $145^{\circ} < α< 180^{\circ}$, $-1^{\circ} < δ< 8^{\circ}$. Through comparisons with data from the OVRO Long Wavelength Array and the Maipu and MU surveys, we find an average spectral index of $-2.75 < β< -2.71$ between 45 and 1055 MHz. By fitting for spectral curvature with a spectral index of the form $β+ c \, {\rm{ln}}(ν/ 73~{\rm MHz})$, we measure $β= -2.55 \pm 0.13$ and $c = -0.12 \pm 0.05$ within our target field. Our results are in good agreement (within $1σ$) with existing measurements from experiments such as ARCADE2 and EDGES. These results show the calibration accuracy of current data and demonstrate that MeerKLASS will also be capable of achieving a secondary science goal of probing the interstellar medium.

description: We study experimentally superradiant Rayleigh scattering from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a new parameter regime where pump depletion and the exchange of photons between the endfire modes are important. Through experiments and simulations we show that collective atom light coupling leads to the self-organized formation of dynamic Bragg gratings within the sample. These gratings lead to an efficient back-scattering of pump photons and optical resonator structures within the BEC.

description: Spatial inclusion is defined as the availability of space and mobility for underprivileged people, as well as the physical closeness of different social groups. This study seeks to uncover the key components of spatial inclusion that increase social inclusion by investigating the links between spatial and social inclusion characteristics in South Korean cities and regions. A micro-dataset on personal health and social life, as well as other publicly available data, such as Census data are examined. The results suggest that increased spatial inclusion improves social inclusion of socially underprivileged people. However, the effects of each component of spatial inclusion are distinct. While housing affordability has mixed effects on different dimensions of social inclusion, an open settlement environment generally has a positive effect on social inclusion. The findings provide important implications for promoting social inclusion in cities and regions.

description: The paper considers a method for calculating loads on satellites of linear cycloidal planetary gears, considering gaps and friction in the transmission. This method assumes that first, using the algorithm proposed by the authors, the elastic displacement of the transmission rail is calculated, and then the loads on the satellite are calculated using it. Results of calculating transmission using this method is given. Conclusions are drawn about the effect of friction and gaps on the load of satellites.

Heat budget analysis of Pendrell Sound
Creators: name: Buckingham, William Richard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A field program consisting of a heat budget study was carried out in Pendrell Sound during the summer of 1974 by the Department of the Environment (Coastal Zone Oceanography Group) in an attempt to resolve the mechanism involved in creating the warm water favourable to oyster spawning. The temperature - salinity structure was measured at various locations along the channel and meteorological parameters relevant to heat exchange were observed. The results show that advection is the most important mechanism with regards to the heat budget of the entire inlet, accounting for 80% of the increase in heat content during a nine day warming period that was observed.

description: We have performed a coupled channel calculation of the $1^{++}$ $c\bar c$ sector including $q\bar q$ and $DD^*$ molecular configurations. The calculation was done within a constituent quark model which successfully describes the meson spectrum, in particular the $c\bar c$ $1^{--}$ sector. Two and four quark configurations are coupled using the $^3P_0$ model. The elusive X(3872) meson appears as a new state with a high probability for the $DD^*$ molecular component. When the mass difference between neutral and charged states is included a large $D^0 {D^*}^0$ component is found which dominates for large distances and breaks isospin symmetry in the physical state. The original $c\bar c(2 ^3P_1)$ state acquires a sizable $DD^*$ component and can be identified with the X(3940). We study the $B\to K π^+ π^-J/ψ$ and $B\to K D^0 D^{*0}$ decays finding a good agreement with Belle and BaBar experimental data.

The development of marketing in CN and CP Rail
Creators: name: Jurczynski, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In the absence to date of substantial published material on Canadian railway marketing, this thesis represents an initial overview study of the subject. It examines the origins, development overtime and current status of the freight marketing organizations and practices of CN and CP Rail. The first part of the thesis is an examination of the post-second World War economic and regulatory environment and developments in the CN and CP Rail organization and practices of the time. Evidence indicates that the appearance of railway marketing was a response to post-war commercial competitive forces. The second part consists of a discussion of today's integrated CN and CP Rail marketing organizations and traces the development from the earliest forms of railway marketing. The analytic framework for this discussion is basic marketing theory. Evidence from the analysis suggests that Canadian railway marketing has developed in a similar manner to that experienced in other industries and reflected in marketing theory.

description: Colfax, Louisiana hosts a commercial hazardous waste thermal treatment (TT) facility, which treats fireworks, explosives, and military ordnances by open-burn/open-detonation one mile from the edge of the nearest community. Seventy-one percent of Colfax’s residents are Black, and forty-six percent live below poverty, indicating the community’s structural vulnerability. This community-based study originated at the behest of Colfax community members. We hypothesised that the close relationships among members of this enclave may have enhanced the community’s ability to mobilise in opposition to the TT facility. We conducted semi-structured oral history interviews with nineteen community members and examined the social and interorganisational networks used by the Colfax community to claim its role in decision-making regarding the TT facility after years of exclusion from this process. Interview transcripts were analysed through the lens of community capacity theory to gain insight into how interactions among community members about the environmental hazards led to social mobilisation and improved participation in the decision-making process using codes for communication, organisation, and outcome. Additionally, we reviewed Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality records for complaints about the facility to gauge public participation. One notable theme across several interviews was exclusion from the initial decision-making process related to the facility. However, interviewees noted a sustained effort was made among community members to educate themselves about the facility, organise a response through neighbour-to-neighbour contact, and take action by submitting formal complaints and participating in public hearings. Through the lens of environmental justice, this study illustrates an evolving condition of procedural justice.

description: We propose a semi-empirical nuclear mass formula based on the macroscopic-microscopic method in which the isospin and mass dependence of model parameters are investigated with the Skyrme energy density functional. The number of model parameters is considerably reduced compared with the finite range droplet model. The rms deviation with respect to 2149 measured nuclear masses is reduced by 21%, falls to 0.516 MeV. The new magic number N=16 in light neutron-rich nuclei and the shape coexistence phenomena for some nuclei have been examined with the model. The shell corrections of super-heavy nuclei are also predicted.

description: We use molecular dynamics simulation results on viscous binary Lennard-Jones mixtures to examine the correlation between the potential energy and the virial. In accord with a recent proposal [U. R. Pedersen et. al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 015701 (2008)], the fluctuations in the two quantities are found to be strongly correlated, exhibiting a proportionality constant, Gamma, numerically equal to one-third the slope of an inverse power law approximation to the intermolecular potential function. The correlation is stronger at higher densities, where interatomic separations are in the range where the inverse power law approximation is more accurate. These same liquids conform to thermodynamic scaling of their dynamics, with the scaling exponent equal to Gamma. Thus, the properties of strong correlation between energy and pressure and thermodynamic scaling both reflect the ability of an inverse power law representation of the potential to capture interesting features of the dynamics of dense, highly viscous liquids.

description: International scholarship and policy advice is gaining interest in understanding what a just transition means for communities, the lived environment and sense of place. At the same time, Japan is facing increasing pressure to accelerate its progress towards decarbonisation, which has implications for regions within Japan that rely on carbon-intensive industries for employment and economic sustainability. Previous experience within Japan of the phase-out of domestical coal extraction, and the impacts of this historical transition on host communities, has the potential to yield rich insights into how the social and cultural implications of a just transition can be managed both in Japan and globally. However, much of the existing place-based scholarship in this field has been undertaken in Japanese, and has not been published in English. The purpose of this viewpoint is therefore to summarise recent academic and policy research into a just transition in Japan, and draw insights from three former coal producing regions that have been impacted by coal phase-out in different ways: Tagawa in Kyushu, Iwaki in north-east Japan, and Yubari in Hokkaido. Our synthesis draws out several factors from the Japanese cases that contribute to “successful” just transitions at the local level: early and comprehensive planning and cooperation between different sectors; the need for leadership and vision from the local level rather than reliance on central government financial support for a transition; and the importance of social protection measures in avoiding stigma and sustaining a sense of community identity.

description: In this work we introduce an analytical approach for the frequency warping transform. Criteria for the design of operators based on arbitrary warping maps are provided and an algorithm carrying out a fast computation is defined. Such operators can be used to shape the tiling of time-frequency plane in a flexible way. Moreover, they are designed to be inverted by the application of their adjoint operator. According to the proposed mathematical model, the frequency warping transform is computed by considering two additive operators: the first one represents its nonuniform Fourier transform approximation and the second one suppresses aliasing. The first operator is known to be analytically characterized and fast computable by various interpolation approaches. A factorization of the second operator is found for arbitrary shaped non-smooth warping maps. By properly truncating the operators involved in the factorization, the computation turns out to be fast without compromising accuracy.

description: BTES (borehole thermal energy storage)systems exchange thermal energy by conduction with the surrounding ground through borehole materials. The spatial variability of the geological properties and the space-time variability of hydrogeological conditions affect the real power rate of heat exchangers and, consequently, the amount of energy extracted from / injected into the ground. For this reason, it is not an easy task to identify the underground thermal properties to use when designing.
At the current state of technology, Thermal Response Test (TRT) is the in situ test for the characterization of ground thermal properties with the higher degree of accuracy, but it doesn’t fully solve the problem of characterizing the thermal properties of a shallow geothermal reservoir, simply because it characterizes only the neighborhood of the heat exchanger at hand and only for the test duration. 
Different analytical and numerical models exist for the characterization of shallow geothermal reservoir, but they are still inadequate and not exhaustive: more sophisticated models must be taken into account and a geostatistical approach is needed to tackle natural variability and estimates uncertainty.
The approach adopted for reservoir characterization is the “inverse problem”, typical of oil&gas field analysis. Similarly, we create different realizations of thermal properties by direct sequential simulation and we find the best one fitting real production data (fluid temperature along time).
The software used to develop heat production simulation is FEFLOW 5.4 (Finite Element subsurface FLOW system). A geostatistical reservoir model has been set up based on literature thermal properties data and spatial variability hypotheses, and a real TRT has been tested. Then we analyzed and used as well two other codes (SA-Geotherm and FV-Geotherm) which are two implementation of the same numerical model of FEFLOW (Al-Khoury model).

description: The ever increasing demand for new services from users who want high-quality broadband services while on the move, is straining the efficiency of current spectrum allocation paradigms, leading to an overall feeling of spectrum scarcity. In order to circumvent this problem, two possible solutions are being investigated: (i) implementing new technologies capable of accessing the temporarily/locally unused bands, without interfering with the licensed services, like Cognitive Radios; (ii) release some spectrum bands thanks to new services providing higher spectral efficiency, e.g., DVB-T, and allocate them to new wireless systems. These two approaches are promising, but also pose novel coexistence and interference management challenges to deal with. In particular, the deployment of devices such as Cognitive Radio, characterized by the inherent unplanned, irregular and random locations of the network nodes, require advanced mathematical techniques in order to explicitly model their spatial distribution. In such context, the system performance and optimization are strongly dependent on this spatial configuration. On the other hand, allocating some released spectrum bands to other wireless services poses severe coexistence issues with all the pre-existing services on the same or adjacent spectrum bands.
In this thesis, these methodologies for better spectrum usage are investigated. In particular, using Stochastic Geometry theory, a novel mathematical framework is introduced for cognitive networks, providing a closed-form expression for coverage probability and a single-integral form for average downlink rate and Average Symbol Error Probability. Then, focusing on more regulatory aspects,  interference challenges between DVB-T and LTE systems are analysed proposing a versatile methodology for their proper coexistence. Moreover, the studies performed inside the CEPT SE43 working group on the amount of spectrum potentially available to Cognitive Radios and an analysis of the Hidden Node problem are provided. Finally, a study on the extension of cognitive technologies to Hybrid Satellite Terrestrial Systems is proposed.

description: Lo studio CAVE PTX ha lo scopo di valutare la reale prevalenza della paratiroidectomia nei pazienti dializzati in Italia, verificare l’aderenza ai targets ematochimici proposti dalle linee guida internazionali K/DOQI e ricercare la presenza di fratture vertebrali e calcificazioni vascolari. Al momento attuale riportiamo i dati preliminari sulla prevalenza e le caratteristiche cliniche generali dei pazienti finora arruolati. Il nostro studio ha ricevuto contributi da 149 centri dialisi italiani, su un totale di 670, pari al 22%. La popolazione dialitica dalla quale sono stati ottenuti i casi di paratiroidectomia è risultata pari a 12515 pazienti;l’87,7% dei pazienti effettuava l’emodialisi mentre il 12,3% la dialisi peritoneale. Cinquecentoventotto, pari al 4,22%, avevano effettuato un intervento di paratiroidectomia (4,5%emodializzati, 1,9% in dialisi peritoneale;p<0.001). Abbiamo  considerato tre gruppi differenti di PTH: basso (<150 pg/ml), ottimale (150 -300 pg/ml) ed elevato (>300 pg/ml).  I valori medi di PTH e calcemia sono risultati significativamente diversi (più alti) tra casi e controlli nei due gruppi con PTH basso (PTX = 40±39 vs controllo = 92±42 pg/ml; p
description: CAVE PTX study aims to evaluate, in dialysis patients submitted to PTX, the control and therapies of divalent ions (phase I), and the prevalence of aortic calcifications and vertebral fractures (phase II). We report here the phase I results.  Biochemistries and therapies of PTX patients were collected by means of an electronic data sheet from 149 Italian dialysis Units. A control group (C), comparable for age, sex and dialysis duration, was selected from the whole cohort.  From a total of 12515 patients (HD = 87.7%;PD = 12.3%), 528(4.22%) had received PTX. Prevalence of PTX was definitely higher in HD(4.5%) compared to PD(1.9%).  Respectively in PTX and C, PTH was low(<150) in 64 vs 23%; optimal (150-300) in 17 vs 39%; and high(>300) in 19 vs 38%. Ca, P and PTH values in the three K/DOQI PTH range groups are in table 2. Prescribed drugs, respectively in PTX and C, were: Vitamin D (61 vs 64%); Phosphate binders (88 vs 75%) and Calcimimetic (13 and 35%). Notably, Calcitriol and Ca based binders in PTX, and Paricalcitol and Sevelamer in C, were the most frequently prescribed drugs.  PTX has a low prevalence in Italy, and mainly involves  relatively young, females and long-term haemodialysis patients. In these patients PTH values are mostly low and therapeutic choices are accordingly different. Different hard outcomes can be hypothesized

description: We examine the relation between topological entropy, invertability, and prediction in topological dynamics. We show that topological determinism in the sense of Kamisky Siemaszko and Szymaski imposes no restriction on invariant measures except zero entropy. Also, we develop a new method for relating topological determinism and zero entropy, and apply it to obtain a multidimensional analog of this theory. We examine prediction in symbolic dynamics and show that while the condition that each past admit a unique future only occurs in finite systems, the condition that each past have a bounded number of future imposes no restriction on invariant measures except zero entropy. Finally, we give a negative answer to a question of Eli Glasner by constructing a zero-entropy system with a globally supported ergodic measure in which every point has multiple preimages.

Exotic Freezing of Response in Quantum Many-Body System

description: We show that when a quantum many-body system is subjected to coherent periodic driving, the response may exhibit exotic freezing behavior in high driving frequency ($ω$) regime. In a periodically driven classical thermodynamic system, freezing at high $ω$ occurs when $1/ω$ is much smaller than the characteristic relaxation time of the system, and hence the freezing always increases there as $ω$ is increased. Here, in the contrary, we see surprising non-monotonic freezing behavior of the response with $ω$, showing curious peak-valley structure. Quite interestingly, the entire system tends to freeze almost absolutely (the freezing peaks) when driven with a certain combination of driving parameters values (amplitude and $ω$) due to coherent suppression of dynamics of the quantum many-body modes, which has no classical analog. We demonstrate this new freezing phenomenon analytically (supported by large-scale numerics) for a general class of integrable quantum spin systems.

description: We present a new general relativistic (GR) code for hydrodynamic supernova simulations with neutrino transport in spherical and azimuthal symmetry (1D/2D). The code is a combination of the CoCoNuT hydro module, which is a Riemann-solver based, high-resolution shock-capturing method, and the three-flavor, energy-dependent neutrino transport scheme VERTEX. VERTEX integrates the neutrino moment equations with a variable Eddington factor closure computed from a model Boltzmann equation and uses the ray-by-ray plus approximation in 2D, assuming the neutrino distribution to be axially symmetric around the radial direction, and thus the neutrino flux to be radial. Our spacetime treatment employs the ADM 3+1 formalism with the conformal flatness condition for the spatial three-metric. This approach is exact in 1D and has been shown to yield very accurate results also for rotational stellar collapse. We introduce new formulations of the energy equation to improve total energy conservation in relativistic and Newtonian hydro simulations with Eulerian finite-volume codes. Moreover, a modified version of the VERTEX scheme is developed that simultaneously conserves energy and lepton number with better accuracy and higher numerical stability. To verify our code, we conduct a series of tests, including a detailed comparison with published 1D results for stellar core collapse. Long-time simulations of proto-neutron star cooling over several seconds both demonstrate the robustness of the new CoCoNuT-VERTEX code and show the approximate treatment of GR effects by means of an effective gravitational potential as in PROMETHEUS-VERTEX to be remarkably accurate in 1D.
