Are Quebecers More Stressed Out at Work than Others? A Follow-up Study on the Differences between Quebec, Ontario and the Rest of Canada in Level of Perceived Work Stress
Creators: name: Li, Yemin
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Work stress can decrease productivity and create economic losses. People with long-term work stress are likely to suffer other illnesses. Using microdata from the 2015-2016 Canadian Community Health Survey: annual component, this paper investigates the impact of several potential determinants of work stress across regions of Canada. The paper is a follow-up of a previous study by Sedigh, Devlin and Grenier (2017) that pointed out that Quebecers are more likely to report high work stress than other Canadians. The main findings of this paper are different from those of that study. While Quebecers showed a 4.4 percentage point higher probability of having high work stress than Ontarians, residents of Ontario are as stressful at work as Quebecers after controlling for personal, work, family, and health and behaviour characteristics. An Oaxaca decomposition between Quebec and Ontario shows that the difference in work stress can be explained by differences in characteristics. However, living in Quebec is still persistently associated with higher work stress compared with people who live in the other provinces and an Oaxaca decomposition shows that the difference is unexplained by differences in characteristics.

description: Dark matter (DM) coupled to light mediators has been invoked to resolve the putative discrepancies between collisionless cold DM and galactic structure observations. However, $γ$-ray searches and the CMB strongly constrain such scenarios. To ease the tension, we consider asymmetric DM. We show that, contrary to the common lore, detectable annihilations occur even for large asymmetries, and derive bounds from the CMB, $γ$-ray, neutrino and antiproton searches. We then identify the viable space for self-interacting DM. Direct detection does not exclude this scenario, but provides a way to test it.

description: The CERT Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) method, an approach for managing information security risks, was designed to be sufficiently flexible for organizations to address unique and highly contextual analysis needs through tailoring capabilities. This document describes how OCTAVE has been used and tailored to fit a wide range of organizational risk assessment needs. Guidelines for successful tailoring, built on the reporting practitioners successes, are provided to help an organization fit the OCTAVE approach to their specific domain and organizational needs. The range of applications demonstrates the flexibility of the OCTAVE approach and its value in addressing security risk management. Readers should already be familiar with the general concepts of the OCTAVE approach.

description: Alkali-metal adsorption on the surface of materials is widely used for in situ surface electron doping, particularly for observing unoccupied band structures by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). However, the effects of alkali-metal atoms on the resulting band structures have yet to be fully investigated, owing to difficulties in both experiments and calculations. Here, we combine ARPES measurements on cesium-adsorbed ultrathin bismuth films with first-principles calculations of the electronic charge densities and demonstrate a simple method to evaluate alkali-metal induced band deformation. We reveal that deformation of bismuth surface bands is directly correlated with vertical charge-density profiles at each electronic state of bismuth. In contrast, a change in the quantized bulk bands is well described by a conventional rigid-band-shift picture. We discuss these two aspects of the band deformation holistically, considering spatial distributions of the electronic states and cesium-bismuth hybridization, and provide a prescription for applying alkali-metal adsorption to a wide range of materials.

Applying FSQ Engineering Foundations to Automated Calculation of Program Behavior

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: 80309 Software Engineering
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: No software engineer can say with assurance how a sizable program, with its virtually infinite number of possible execution paths, will behave, that is, what it will do, in all circumstances of use. This incredible reality, widely acknowledged but little discussed, lies at the heart of intractable problems experienced in software development and use over the past 40 years. If full behavior is unknown, so too are embedded errors, vulnerabilities, and malicious code that can emerge in use. While this reality has seemed inevitable in the past, it need not be so in the future. The SEI CERT Research Center has been conducting research on Flow-Service-Quality (FSQ) engineering for complex, network-centric system analysis and development. FSQ Flow Structures treat the control structures of programs as rules, or implementations, of mathematical functions, that is, mappings from domains to ranges. The function, or behavior, of any control structure can be abstracted into a procedure-free statement that specifies its net functional effect in all circumstances of use with mathematical precision. The finite number of control structures in a program can be abstracted in stepwise fashion in an algebra of functions, to arrive at a precise statement of the program's overall behavior. The mathematical foundations largely exist, and development of such a capability is feasible, albeit difficult. Automated program behavior calculation would have a dramatic effect on software and systems engineering, and enable a new level of assurance in trustworthy systems. This report briefly summarizes research to date on Flow Structures and describes the application of their function-theoretic mathematical foundations to the problem of program behavior calculation

The Securitization of Ebola in Canadian Media Discourses
Creators: name: Durocher, Laurence
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: In 2015, the international community was struggling to put an end to the largest and most violent Ebola outbreak of its 40-year-old history (CDC, 2015). This outbreak attracted unprecedented attention from both public health specialists and worldwide media consortiums. The scale of this human disaster raises important questions about our vulnerabilities and our level of preparedness towards infectious agents, but also on our perception of risks in this increasing global culture of security. This research aims to explore the processes of securitization of the 2014-2015 West African Ebola outbreak in Canadian media. Building from the Copenhagen School’s theory of securitization, we conducted a discourse analysis of the news stories published about the latest Ebola epidemic in two mainstream Canadian newspapers (Globe and Mail and La Presse) over a year-long period. The results of this analysis have shown that the securitization of Ebola in Canadian media mostly took place through the deployment of a grammar of security as well as the use of the two complex set of narratives related to globalization and local politics. This study has implications for our understanding of the securitization theory as well as global health governance mechanisms and emergency responses linked to communicable diseases like Ebola. More broadly, this analysis intends to start the reflection on whether positioning an outbreak following a rhetoric of security happens to be the most adequate option to guide Canadian interventions in times of public health crises.

description: As postcolonial scholars signal, the similarities between the constructions of the racial Other and the mad are very similar and rely on a binary of the rational and irrational. Examining how the construction of madness serves as a metaphor for the migratory process and its ensuing trauma in Said El Kadaoui‘s Límites y fronteras, this paper‘s intent is to question how this affects the subjectivity of its protagonist. I find that the metaphor of madness serves to express the limiting aspects of identity and through the character development of its protagonist, the narration allows a more heterogeneous understanding of identity to emerge.
The Silent Epidemic: Assessing Policy Equilibrium and Punctuation on the Issue of Sport-Related Concussions
Creators: name: Quirion, Alex
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2017

description: Sport-Related Concussions (SRC) represent an important public health issue. An estimated 1.8 to 3.5 million SRC occur each year in the United-States. As our understanding of the brain evolves and evidence becomes available, policymakers are increasingly interested in addressing the issue of SRC. Analysed through the theoretical lens of Frank Baumgartner and Bryan Jones’ Punctuated Equilibrium Theory (PET), this Major Research Paper investigates the forces that contributed to policy stability, and those that contributed to policy change on the issue of SRC. As a policy process theory, the PET documents how policymaking is characterized by long periods of stability and incremental change, only to be punctuated through radical shifts. While most policy process models are interested in understanding either policy stability or change, the PET encompasses both. Our research delineates the contextual conditions and narratives of four SRC incidences, two of which involve athletes at the amateur level (Zachery Lystedt and Rowan Stringer), and two involving professional athletes (Mike Webster and Sidney Crosby). The qualitative data retrieved from our cases is compared with the theoretical components of the PET. Our findings suggest that although SRC have plagued the sport landscape for years, only recently have they risen to the agenda of policymakers and been subject to state intervention in the United-States and Canada. In the 1990s, policy stability on the issue of SRC was the result of a negative feedback process dominated by monopolistic subsystems that dampened change through a supportive policy image. On the contrary, policy change in the last ten years can be attributed to a positive feedback process characterized by policy entrepreneurs who were successful in redefining the issue by using appropriate institutional venues. This Major Research Paper concludes with recommendations for policy entrepreneurs. In particular, our research suggests that policy change goes beyond simple partisan and electoral explanations. Agents of change seeking to alter the mindset of apathetic policymakers should strategically align their lobbying efforts, discourse, and overall actions to create a self-reinforcing process that accentuates change.
Earnings Gap between First-, Second-, and Third-Generation Immigrants in Canada
Creators: name: Chen, Zhuangmin
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2020

description: This paper uses 2016 Canadian Census data to study the earnings gap between Canada’s first-generation immigrants, second-generation immigrants and third-generation immigrants. The first-generation immigrants are defined as individuals who were born outside of Canada. The second-generation immigrants are defined as individuals who have at least one foreign-born parent. They are also divided into two sub-groups: both foreign-born parents and only one foreign-born parent. Individuals whose parents are both Canadian-born are defined as third-generation immigrants. The first-generation immigrants are also divided into five different groups according to their age at immigration. After analyzing males and females separately, it is found that the first-generation immigrants who landed before they were 19 years old and second-generation immigrants have an earnings advantage over the third-generation immigrants. In most cases, second-generation immigrants also have an earnings advantage over first-generation immigrants.

description: This paper presents an operational framework for the computation of the discretized solutions for relativistic equations of Klein-Gordon and Dirac type. The proposed method relies on the construction of an evolution-type operador from the knowledge of the \textit{Exponential Generating Function} (EGF), carrying a degree lowering operator $L_t=L(\partial_t)$. We also use certain operational properties of the discrete Fourier transform over the $n-$dimensional \textit{Brioullin zone} $Q_h=\left(-\fracπ{h},\fracπ{h}\right]^n$ -- a toroidal Fourier transform in disguise -- to describe the discrete counterparts of the continuum wave propagators, $\cosh(t\sqrt{Δ-m^2})$ and $\dfrac{\sinh(t\sqrt{Δ-m^2})}{\sqrt{Δ-m^2}}$ respectively, as discrete convolution operators. In this way, a huge class of discretized time-evolution problems of differential-difference and difference-difference type may be studied in the spirit of hypercomplex variables.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Organizations often do not achieve the potential benefits of a sound measurement program due to the inconsistent construction and interpretation of indicators derived from measurement data. This technical note presents guidance for adapting and completing an indicator template-a tool the Software Engineering Institute has developed to precisely describe an indicator-including its construction, correct interpretation, and how it can be utilized to direct data collection and presentation and measurement and analysis processes. An indicator template can help an organization to define indicators, or graphical representations of measurement data, which describe the who, what, where, when, why, and how for analyzing and collecting measures. This technical note defines each field of the indicator template, provides example inputs, and shows how the template may be used in the context of a process improvement effort that uses the Capability Maturity Model Integration framework and/or Goal-Driven Software Measurement.

description: We propose a standard time-of-flight experiment as a method for observing the anyonic statistics of quasiholes in a fractional quantum Hall state of ultracold atoms. The quasihole states can be stably prepared by pinning the quasiholes with localized potentials and a measurement of the mean square radius of the freely expanding cloud, which is related to the average total angular momentum of the initial state, offers direct signatures of the statistical phase. Our proposed method is validated by Monte Carlo calculations for $ν=1/2$ and $1/3$ fractional quantum Hall liquids containing a realistic number of particles. Extensions to quantum Hall liquids of light and to non-Abelian anyons are briefly discussed.

description: We present the highest redshift detections of resolved Lyman alpha emission, using Hubble Space Telescope/ACS F658N narrowband-imaging data taken in parallel with the Wide Field Camera 3 Early Release Science program in the GOODS CDF-S. We detect Lyman alpha emission from three spectroscopically confirmed z = 4.4 Lyman alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs), more than doubling the sample of LAEs with resolved Lyman alpha emission. Comparing the light distribution between the rest-frame ultraviolet continuum and narrowband images, we investigate the escape of Lyman alpha photons at high redshift. While our data do not support a positional offset between the Lyman alpha and rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) continuum emission, the half-light radii in two out of the three galaxies are significantly larger in Lyman alpha than in the rest-frame UV continuum. This result is confirmed when comparing object sizes in a stack of all objects in both bands. Additionally, the narrowband flux detected with HST is significantly less than observed in similar filters from the ground. These results together imply that the Lyman alpha emission is not strictly confined to its indigenous star-forming regions. Rather, the Lyman alpha emission is more extended, with the missing HST flux likely existing in a diffuse outer halo. This suggests that the radiative transfer of Lyman alpha photons in high-redshift LAEs is complicated, with the interstellar-medium geometry and/or outflows playing a significant role in galaxies at these redshifts.

description: Five years ago, we published a commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal arguing that inadequately managed pain in children should be considered an adverse event, a harmful patient outcome. We argued that inadequately managed pain meets the definition of an adverse event and further hypothesized that treating pain as an adverse event may improve care by raising health care administrators and quality improvement experts' awareness of this issue. In this article, we reflect on the progress made in both moving this proposition forward and testing out the concept. We then move on to look at what still needs to be done to ensure that children's pain is managed effectively.
Enhancement of Superconducting $T_c$ due to the Spin-orbit Interaction

description: We calculate the superconducting $T_c$ for a system which experiences Rashba spin-orbit interactions. Contrary to the usual case where the electron-electron interaction is assumed to be wave vector-independent, where superconductivity is suppressed by the spin-orbit interaction (except for a small region at low electron or hole densities), we find an enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature when we include a correlated hopping interaction between electrons. This interaction originates in the expansion of atomic orbitals due to electron-electron repulsion and gives rise to superconductivity only at high electron (low hole) densities. When superconductivity results from this interaction it is enhanced by spin-orbit coupling, in spite of a suppression of the density of states. The degree of electron-hole asymmetry about the Fermi surface is also enhanced.

description: Modern mobile devices create new opportunities to interact with their surrounding environment, but their computational power and battery capacity is limited. Code offloading to external servers located in clouds or data centers can help overcome these limitations. However, in hostile environments, it is not possible to guarantee reliable networks, and thus stable cloud accessibility is not available. Cyber foraging is a technique for offloading resource-intensive tasks from mobile devices to resource-rich surrogate machines in close wireless proximity. One type of such surrogate machines is a cloudlet—a generic server that runs one or more virtual machines (VMs) located in single-hop distance to the mobile device. Cloudlet-based cyber foraging can compensate for missing cloud access in the context of hostile environments. One strategy for cloudlet provisioning is VM synthesis. Unfortunately, it is time consuming and battery draining due to large file transfers. This technical note explores application virtualization as a more lightweight alternative to VM synthesis for cloudlet provisioning. A corresponding implementation is presented and evaluated. A quantitative analysis describes performance results in terms of time and energy consumption; a qualitative analysis compares implementation characteristics to VM synthesis. The evaluation shows that application virtualization is a valid strategy for cyber foraging in hostile environments.

description: In this paper, we consider a semi-classical version of the nonhomogeneous heat equation with singular time-dependent coefficients on the lattice $\hbar \mathbb{Z}^n$. We establish the well-posedeness of such Cauchy equations in the classical sense when regular coefficients are considered, and analyse how the notion of very weak solution adapts in such equations when distributional coefficients are regarded. We prove the well-posedness of both the classical and the very weak solution in the weighted spaces $\ell^{2}_{s}(\hbar \mathbb{Z}^n)$, $s \in \mathbb{R}$, which is enough to prove the well-posedness in the space of tempered distributions $\mathcal{S}'(\hbar \mathbb{Z}^n)$. Notably, when $s=0$, we show that for $\hbar \rightarrow 0$, the classical (resp. very weak) solution of the heat equation in the Euclidean setting $\mathbb{R}^n$ is recaptured by the classical (resp. very weak) solution of it in the semi-classical setting $\hbar \mathbb{Z}^n$.

description: Computing the no-policy equilibrium (business-as-usual) in a representative-agent (RA) model is complicated by the presence of a pollution externality, since simple optimization internalizes the pollution cost. Many researchers use ad hoc methods, but there is no way to know how reliable these are. A solution is presented in which the RA model is divided into N identical components, each identified with its own agent. Agents play a dynamic game, leading to a Nash equilibrium. For sufficiently large N, this approach keeps most of the pollution cost external, and in the limit it is equivalent to a myopic-firms model, in which the entire cost is external. This approach has the advantage of theoretical consistency, and empirical applications indicate that it is easily implemented.

description: This study examines trends in open access article processing charges (APCs) from 2011 – 2021, building on a 2011 study by Solomon & Björk (2012). Two methods are employed, a modified replica and a status update of the 2011 journals. Data is drawn from multiple sources and datasets are available as open data (Morrison et al, 2021). Most journals do not charge APCs; this has not changed. The global average per-journal APC increased slightly, from 906 USD to 958 USD, while the per-article average increased from 904 USD to 1,626 USD, indicating that authors choose to publish in more expensive journals. Publisher size, type, impact metrics and subject affect charging tendencies, average APC, and pricing trends. Half the journals from the 2011 sample are no longer listed in DOAJ in 2021, due to ceased publication or publisher de-listing. Conclusions include a caution about the potential of the APC model to increase costs beyond inflation. The university sector may be the most promising approach to economically sustainable no-fee OA journals. Universities publish many OA journals, nearly half of OA articles, tend not to charge APCs and when APCs are charged, the prices are very low on average.
La pena natural. Una revisión de la teoría de necesidad

description: El presente trabajo desarrolla un análisis conceptual y normativo de la pena natural, desde su origen histórico y fundamentos filosóficos, hasta la aplicación de la figura en el derecho comparado y en el derecho colombiano. Se sostiene la hipótesis de que la pena natural puede ser comprendida tanto como supuesto de hecho como norma que autoriza la modulación (atenuación o eximición) de la pena estatal cuando el autor del delito resulte gravemente afectado por su propia conducta. Se defiende que la pena natural no es un sustituto de la pena estatal, sino solo de la aflicción que esta conlleva, pues carece del elemento de voluntad o censura en el castigo. Por lo tanto, se aparta del enfoque mayoritario que entiende la pena natural como una especie de pena estatal y la analiza de acuerdo con los fines y funciones de esta última, para proponer que se trata de una regla que se deriva del principio de necesidad, que limita al poder para imponer penas desproporcionadas, ni meramente simbólicas, porque no reúnen los requisitos racionales ni normativos de la pena estatal.
description: The present work develops a conceptual and normative analysis of natural punishment, from its historical roots and philosophical foundations to the application of the figure in comparative law and in Colombian law. The hypothesis is that the natural punishment can be understood both as a fact and as a norm that authorizes the modulation (attenuation or exemption) of the punishment when the perpetrator is seriously affected by his own crime. It is argued that natural punishment is not a substitute for legal punishment, but only for the affliction that it entails, since it lacks the element of will or censorship. Therefore, it departs from the majority approach that understands natural punishment as a kind of legal punishment and analyzes it according to the purposes and functions of the latter, to propose that it is a rule that derives from the principle of necessity, that limits the power to impose disproportionate punishments, not merely symbolic, because they do not meet the rational or normative requirements of the legal punishment.

description: In a previous paper based on dark matter only simulations we show that, in the approximation of an analytic and static potential describing the strongly triaxial and cuspy shape of Milky Way-sized haloes, diffusion due to chaotic mixing in the neighbourhood of the Sun does not efficiently erase phase space signatures of past accretion events. In this second paper we further explore the effect of chaotic mixing using multicomponent Galactic potential models and solar neighbourhood-like volumes extracted from fully cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, thus naturally accounting for the gravitational potential associated with baryonic components, such as the bulge and disc. Despite the strong change in the global Galactic potentials with respect to those obtained in dark matter only simulations, our results confirm that a large fraction of halo particles evolving on chaotic orbits exhibit their chaotic behaviour after periods of time significantly larger than a Hubble time. In addition, significant diffusion in phase space is not observed on those particles that do exhibit chaotic behaviour within a Hubble time.

Joint Message Detection and Channel Estimation for Unsourced Random Access in Cell-Free User-Centric Wireless Networks

description: We consider unsourced random access (uRA) in a cell-free (CF) user-centric wireless network, where a large number of potential users compete for a random access slot, while only a finite subset is active. The random access users transmit codewords of length $L$ symbols from a shared codebook, which are received by $B$ geographically distributed radio units (RUs) equipped with $M$ antennas each. Our goal is to devise and analyze a \emph{centralized} decoder to detect the transmitted messages (without prior knowledge of the active users) and estimate the corresponding channel state information. A specific challenge lies in the fact that, due to the geographically distributed nature of the CF network, there is no fixed correspondence between codewords and large-scale fading coefficients (LSFCs). This makes current activity detection approaches which make use of this fixed LSFC-codeword association not directly applicable. To overcome this problem, we propose a scheme where the access codebook is partitioned in location-based subcodes, such that users in a particular location make use of the corresponding subcode. The joint message detection and channel estimation is obtained via a novel {\em Approximated Message Passing} (AMP) algorithm for a linear superposition of matrix-valued sources corrupted by noise. The statistical asymmetry in the fading profile and message activity leads to \emph{different statistics} for the matrix sources, which distinguishes the AMP formulation from previous cases. In the regime where the codebook size scales linearly with $L$, while $B$ and $M$ are fixed, we present a rigorous high-dimensional (but finite-sample) analysis of the proposed AMP algorithm. Exploiting this, we then present a precise (and rigorous) large-system analysis of the message missed-detection and false-alarm rates, as well as the channel estimation mean-square error.
