description: This article reviews the empirical literature on the impact of the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) on different welfare outcomes of rural households in Ethiopia. The main finding of the review is that the PSNP had in general positive impacts on some attributes. PSNP has been found to have positive impacts on the food security of households, increasing crop yield and households’ income. It has also been found to impact welfare in the form of improved health and school attendance, higher rates of insurance uptake, and improved cognitive skills in children. However, there is scant evidence on how much PSNP has protected or mitigated the possible deterioration in the purchasing power of beneficiaries after shocks such as drought and food price spikes. There is one exception to this literature gap, which showed that PSNP had a role in mitigating the adverse impact of inflation on the cognitive skills of children. In the face of declining land to labour ratio, increasing population, changing climate and environmental challenges, an important issue that needs to be addressed through research is the impact of PSNP on the longer-term perspective of agricultural transformation in Ethiopia. Furthermore, an implicit assumption in almost all major studies in the country in relation to social protection interventions such as PSNP is that, rural agricultural households can make a better livelihood within the framework of agriculture. A process of rural transformation requires engagement of households in side-line activities such as cottage industry, small scale manufacturing and services activities. Investigating the role of PSNP in this regard might be useful.

description: We present analytic results for all the Feynman integrals relevant for ${\mathcal O}(αα_s)$ virtual corrections to $H \rightarrow ZZ^*$ decay. We use the method of differential equations to solve the master integrals while keeping the full dependence on the masses of all the particles including internal propagators. Due to the presence of four mass scales we encounter multiple square roots. We argue that all the occurring square roots can not be rationalized at the same time as a simultaneous rationalization brings us to integrals over $CY_3$ manifolds. Hence we rationalize only three square roots simultaneously and construct suitable ansätze to obtain dlog-forms containing the square root, after obtaining an epsilon-factorised form for the differential equations. We present the alphabet and the analytic form of all the boundary constants that appear in the solutions of the differential equations. The results for master integrals are expressed in terms of Chen's iterated integrals with dlog one-forms.

description: Brain waves vary between people. An obvious way to improve automatic sleep staging for longitudinal sleep monitoring is personalization of algorithms based on individual characteristics extracted from the first night of data. As a single night is a very small amount of data to train a sleep staging model, we propose a Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence regularized transfer learning approach to address this problem. We employ the pretrained SeqSleepNet (i.e. the subject independent model) as a starting point and finetune it with the single-night personalization data to derive the personalized model. This is done by adding the KL divergence between the output of the subject independent model and the output of the personalized model to the loss function during finetuning. In effect, KL-divergence regularization prevents the personalized model from overfitting to the single-night data and straying too far away from the subject independent model. Experimental results on the Sleep-EDF Expanded database with 75 subjects show that sleep staging personalization with a single-night data is possible with help of the proposed KL-divergence regularization. On average, we achieve a personalized sleep staging accuracy of 79.6%, a Cohen's kappa of 0.706, a macro F1-score of 73.0%, a sensitivity of 71.8%, and a specificity of 94.2%. We find both that the approach is robust against overfitting and that it improves the accuracy by 4.5 percentage points compared to non-personalization and 2.2 percentage points compared to personalization without regularization.

description: Women are under-acknowledged participants in Africa’s agriculture and food sector, supplying a large share of the labour, but facing significant obstacles, including unequal access to land, traditional division of labour, restrictions on mobility, unequal educational attainment, financial exclusion, and gender norms. As a result, women are being constrained to lower productivity jobs and earning less than men. Their underrepresentation persists all along agricultural value chains. These inequalities translate into lower welfare outcomes for women in addition to inefficient productivity gaps with negative consequences for food security on the continent. Technical and institutional innovations in agricultural value chains must therefore be developed and implemented in a way that considers the particular constraints faced by women in agriculture in order to be fully effective and to avoid further solidifying gender roles and gaps. These could include suitable labour-saving technologies, financial innovations, mechanisms for collective action, and an improved access for women to extension services.
Analytic non-supersymmetric background dual of a confining gauge theory and the corresponding plane wave theory of Hadrons

description: We find a regular analytic 1st order deformation of the Klebanov-Strassler background. From the dual gauge theory point of view the deformation describes supersymmetry soft breaking gaugino mass terms. We calculate the difference in vacuum energies between the supersymmetric and the non-supersymmetric solutions and find that it matches the field theory prediction. We also discuss the breaking of the $U(1)_R$ symmetry and the space-time dependence of the gaugino bilinears two point function. Finally, we determine the Penrose limit of the non-supersymmetric background and write down the corresponding plane wave string theory. This string describes ``annulons''-heavy hadrons with mass proportional to large global charge. Surprisingly the string spectrum has two fermionic zero modes. This implies that the sector in the non-supersymmetric gauge theory which is the dual of the annulons is supersymmetric.

description: A locally conformally Kaehler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kaehler covering M, with monodromy acting on M by Kaehler homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is Vaisman if it admits a holomorphic flow acting by non-trivial homotheties on M. We prove a non-Kaehler analogue of Kodaira embedding theorem: any compact Vaisman manifold admits a natural holomorphic immersion to a Hopf manifold. As an application, we obtain that any Sasakian manifold has a contact immersion to an odd-dimensional sphere.

SN 1961V: A Pulsational Pair-Instability Supernova

description: We explore a variety of models in which SN~1961V, one of the most enigmatic supernovae (SNe) ever observed, was a pulsational pair-instability supernova (PPISN). Successful models reproduce the bolometric light curve of the principal outburst and, in some cases, the emission one year before and several years afterward. All models have helium-rich ejecta, bulk hydrogenic velocities near 2000 km s$^{-1}$, and total kinetic energies from 4 to 8 $\times 10^{50}$ erg. Each eventually leaves behind a black hole remnant. Three subclasses of PPISN models are explored, each with two different choices of carbon abundance following helium burning. Carbon is an important parameter because shell carbon burning can weaken the explosion. The three subclasses correspond to situations where SN~1961V and its immediate afterglow were: a) a single event; b) the first of two or more pulsational events separated by decades or centuries; or c) the latter stages of a complex explosion that had already been going on for a year or more. For the low carbon case, the main sequence mass for SN~1961V's progenitor would have been 100 to 115 \Msun; its pre-SN helium core mass was 45 to 52 \Msun; and the final black hole mass, 40 to 45 \Msun. For the high-carbon case, these values are increased by roughly 20 to 25\%. In some PPISN models, a $\sim10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ star-like object could still be shining at the site of SN~1961V, but it has more likely been replaced by a massive accreting black hole.

description: We have carried out follow-up spectroscopy on three overdense regions of $g$- and $r$-dropout galaxies in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey Deep Fields, finding two new protoclusters at $z=4.898$, 3.721 and a possible protocluster at $z=3.834$. The $z=3.721$ protocluster overlaps with a previously identified protocluster at $z=3.675$. The redshift separation between these two protoclusters is $Δz=0.05$, which is slightly larger than the size of typical protoclusters. Therefore, if they are not the progenitors of a $>10^{15}\,\mathrm{M_\odot}$ halo, they would grow into closely-located independent halos like a supercluster. The other protocluster at $z=4.898$ is also surrounded by smaller galaxy groups. These systems including protoclusters and neighboring groups are regarded as the early phase of superclusters. We quantify the spatial distribution of member galaxies of the protoclusters at $z=3.675$ and 3.721 by fitting triaxial ellipsoids, finding a tentative difference: one has a pancake-like shape while the other is filamentary. This could indicate that these two protoclusters are in different stages of formation. We investigate the relation between redshift and the velocity dispersion of protoclusters, including other protoclusters from the literature, in order to compare their dynamical states. Although there is no significant systematic trend in the velocity dispersions of protoclusters with redshift, the distribution is skewed to higher velocity dispersion over the redshift range of $z=2\mathrm{-}6$. This could be interpreted as two phases of cluster formation, one dominated by the steady accretion of galaxies, and the other by the merging between group-size halos, perhaps depending on the surrounding large-scale environments.

description: Algae have an extensive application to bioenergetics and commercial fields. They comprise several species with distinct physiological, chemical constitution and pigmentation. Given the toxicity of current fingerprint commercial developers, marine biomass could be an alternative material to enhance latent fingerprints. In this sense, the aim of this work was to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of algal biomass (Chlorella sp., Desmarestia anceps, Laurencia dendroidea, Lessonia searlesiana and Spirulina sp.) as potential latent fingerprint developers. Results showed that algae were composed of majority biochemical constituents including carboxylic acids (1.52 ± 0.20% for D. anceps to 50.94 ± 0.83% for Chlorella sp.) and alcohols (28.39 ± 1.47% for Chlorella sp. to 83.74 ± 2.42% for L. searlesiana). Particle size of 50% of the distribution of algal biomass varied from 42.18 to 140.00 μm. Samples mostly had vibrations related to hydroxyl, carbonyl and carbon-nitrogen groups. Moreover, elementary composition showed that samples were mostly composed of metals including potassium (9.63–51.83%), calcium (5.98–40.62%) and iron (0.06–12.85%). They are known as essential mineral and have low toxicity in the human body. Regarding fingerprint enhancement, Spirulina sp. had superior results compared to other biomasses enabling satisfactory development of fingerprints.

description: Since FRB 200428 has been found to be associated with an X-ray burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154, it is interesting to explore whether the magnetar bursts also follow the similar active periodic behavior as some repeating FRBs. Previous studies show that there is possible period about 230 day in SGR J1935+2154 bursts. Here, we collected an updated burst sample from SGR J1935+2154, including all bursts reported by Fermi/GBM and GECAM till 2022 January. We also developed a targeted search pipeline to reveal more bursts from SGR J1935+2154 in the Fermi/GBM data from 2008 August to 2014 December (i.e. before the first burst detected by Swift/BAT). With this burst sample, we re-analyzed the possible periodicity of SGR J1935+2154 bursts using the Period Folding and Lomb-Scargle Periodogram methods. Our results show that the periodicity $\sim$238 day reported in literature is probably fake and the observation effects may introduce false periods (i.e. 55 day) according to simulation tests. We find that, for the current burst sample, the most probable period is 126.88$\pm$2.05 day, which could be interpreted as the precession of the magnetar. However, we note that the whole burst history is very complicated and difficult to be perfectly accommodated with any period reported thus far, therefore more monitoring observations of SGR J1935+2154 are required to test any periodicity hypothesis.

A closed-form integrability of the related coupled differential self-consistency conditions and a natural embedding of the Hamiltonians in a supersymmetric scheme is achieved. For a particular choice of the interactions the rigorous mathematical consistency of the construction is scrutinized suggesting that quantum systems with non-self-adjoint Hamiltonians may admit probabilistic interpretation even in presence of a manifest breakdown of both T symmetry (i.e., Hermiticity) and PT symmetry.

description: Nonfarm employment plays an important role in absorbing unemployment in rural areas of developing countries. The agricultural transition in Uzbekistan followed by structural transformations in the economy changed the rural economy. Although farm restructuring and farm optimization policies led to agricultural growth, they had a negative impact on rural employment. The government of Uzbekistan promoted many policies to create jobs within the country. A presidential decree launched the State Program on Rural Development and Well-being in 2009, which played a crucial role in developing the economic and social infrastructure of rural areas. Small business and private entrepreneurship were given priority to absorb the rising unemployment, especially in rural areas. Against this background, the paper studies non-farm employment trends in rural areas of Samarkand region. In particular, we explore the main drivers of non-farm business development and its impact on rural employment in the Samarkand region. The main employment trends in rural areas of Samarkand region are described using statistical data. We also explore migration trends in Uzbekistan and Samarkand regions. A survey was conducted with 34 mahallas’ (community) chairpersons and representatives to better analyze the intersectoral and international migration of the agricultural workforce. Although remittances are crucial in poverty alleviation of Central Asian countries, including Uzbekistan, the economic crisis in 2008–2009 in Russia cast a shadow on the further prospects of migration. We show how the development of non-agricultural business in the Samarkand region increased the incomes of the rural population. The agro-processing sector plays a vital role in creating clusters based on the agro-industrial complex, which in turn will create more opportunities for employment in rural areas of the country.
De l'importance du Français dans l'école mais à l'extérieur de la salle de classe pour les élèves en immersion

description: Le but de cette étude est de définir et d'analyser les facteurs extérieurs à la salle de classe liés à la culture de l'école et à son environnement linguistique qui peuvent améliorer l'expérience et le succès des élèves en immersion. Mes observations, au sein d'une école secondaire, m'ont permis de constater que les élèves en immersion ont un niveau d'expression orale qui ne rencontre pas toujours les attentes et qu'il semble y avoir une certaine perte d'intérêt vis-à-vis du programme. Comme le temps d'instruction en français chute à l'entrée au secondaire et progressivement jusqu'à la douzième année, il est recommandé que des actions soient entreprises pour augmenter la présence de la culture francophone à l'extérieur de la salle de classe. Différentes suggestions sont discutées ; entre autres, l'affichage bilingue et l'utilisation du français dans l'école, des journées d'accueil, des sorties culturelles, des échanges scolaires, la disponibilité de ressources de loisir et des projets conjoints avec les cours réguliers. Ces suggestions sont analysées en tenant compte de la distance sociale entre l'apprenant et la communauté-cible, l'environnement de l'école et l'attitude du personnel, le développement des aptitudes communicatives interpersonnelles de même que de la motivation ; éléments identifiés dans la revue de la littérature.

description: The non-linear bubble dynamics equations in a compressible liquid have been modified considering the effects of compressibility of both the liquid and the gas at the bubble interface. A new bubble boundary equation has been derived, which includes a new term resulted from the liquid bulk viscosity effects. The influence of this term has been numerically investigated considering the effects of water vapor and chemical reactions on the bubble evolution. The results clearly indicate that the new term has an important damping role at the collapse, so that its consideration decreases the amplitude of the bubble rebounds after the collapse. This damping feature is more remarkable for higher deriving pressures.

description: Radiative heat transfer between two far-field-separated nanoparticles placed close to a perfectly conducting nanowire decays logarithmically slow with the interparticle distance. This makes a cylinder an excellent waveguide which can transfer thermal electromagnetic energy to arbitrary large distances with almost no loss. It leads to a dramatic increase of the heat transfer, so that, for almost any (large) separation, the transferred energy can be as large as for isolated particles separated by a few hundred nanometers. A phenomenologically found analytical formula accurately describes the numerical results over a wide range of parameters.

description: A new dynamical approach that combines covariant parton transport theory with hadronization channels via parton coalescence and fragmentation is applied to Au+Au at RHIC. Basic consequences of the simple coalescence formulas, such as elliptic flow scaling and enhanced proton/pion ratio, turn out to be rather sensitive to the spacetime aspects of coalescence dynamics.

description: The nature of metal-insulator and magnetic transitions is still a subject under intense debate in condensed matter physics. Amongst the many possible mechanisms, the interplay between electronic correlations and spin-orbit couplings is an issue of a great deal of interest, in particular when dealing with quasi-2D compounds. In view of this, here we use a Hartree-Fock approach to investigate how the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, $V_\text{SO}$, affects the magnetic ordering provided by a Hubbard interaction, $U$, on a square lattice. At half-filling, we have found a sequence of transitions for increasing $V_\text{SO}$: from a Mott insulator to a metallic antiferromagnet, and then to a paramagnetic Rashba metal. Also, our results indicate that the Rashba coupling favors magnetic striped phases in the doped regime. By analyzing spectral properties, we associate the rearrangement of the magnetic ordering with the emerging chirality created by the spin-orbit coupling. Our findings provide insights towards clarifying the competition between these tendencies.

description: Estimation of age in individuals, either living or dead, is a daunting task in forensic analyses. The relative visibility of the periodontal ligament of the mandibular third molars, after the root formation which is completed in four stages, has been identified as having the potential to classify the subject as being above or below 18 years. A total of 339 orthopantomograms (OPGs) (180 males, 159 females) from the Indian population belonging to the age group of 15–40 years, were evaluated for the stage of periodontal ligament visibility and scored. The chronological age and the periodontal ligament visibility staging (0, 1, 2, 3) demonstrated a strong positive correlation. The grading of Stages 1, 2 and 3 was evidenced at age >18 in both males and females with both right as well as left third molars with a classification accuracy of 100%. Among Indians, it can be preliminarily concluded that periodontal ligament visibility from Stage 1 onwards can be used to define the 18-year threshold, i.e. state that males or females are above 18 years of age.

description: The need to effectively integrate gender in agriculture is a topical issue in research and policy debates. Previous studies have shown that women in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face challenges in accessing productive resources such as land, and this reduces their productivity compared to men. Most of these studies, however, have analyzed male-headed versus female-headed households, and this approach fails to take into account the women who are in male-headed households, for example. Moreover, the combined effect of gendered decision-making and access to institutional support services on agricultural productivity and efficiency has not received adequate focus in empirical work. The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of intra-household decision-making and access to institutional support services (group membership, credit, extension, agricultural training forums) on maize production efficiency in Kenya. Using primary data collected from Bungoma and Meru counties, a multivariate probit model was applied to analyze factors affecting men’s and women’s participation in decision-making, while stochastic frontier production functions were used to estimate technical efficiency. Findings indicate that men and women do not have equal roles in household decision-making and access to institutional support services. Women had higher group membership while men had higher education levels, access to agricultural training forums and were found to be more likely to contribute to decisions on input and labour use. Extension, mobile phone use and credit had a positive effect on efficiency. Based on these results, the study recommends implementation of gender-based interventions such as agricultural training forums for women, as well as providing incentives that encourage men to join and contribute productively to agricultural development groups. This will ensure fairness in access to resources and improved efficiency.

La dictée modifée : a new approach to teaching spelling
Creators: name: Hickling, Sally A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The goal of this project was to design a method of teaching spelling that incorporated my beliefs about teaching and learning and the knowledge I gained throughout my Master's studies. I hoped to provide students with the skills to correctly spell high frequency words and the ability to apply these skills to new or unknown words. I also wanted to find out if students would apply these skills in various written projects. The project incorporated a variety of activities based on an explicit teaching of phonological awareness and grammar with a central focus on the dictée modifée (Cogis, 2005). This approach moves the dictée from a method of evaluation to a method of teaching and learning. The project took a socio-cultural approach to learning where students worked with their peers and the teacher to construct meaning and reach new levels of understanding. The project was carried out in a Grade 1/2 classroom throughout the school year. A variety of data was collected, including observational data, examples of dictée activities, and writing portfolios. The impact of this study in my classroom was enormous. I not only saw an improvement in my students ability to correctly spell high frequency words and to apply spelling skills to new and unknown words, but I also observed a beginning understanding of the grammar and morphology of the French language. Most importantly, there was a change in attitude in my classroom towards spelling and writing. My students loved participating in the dictée activities and they all began to see themselves as capable writers. I believe that this method of teaching spelling has even wider applications in that it could be easily adapted to any grade level or to a first language program.

description: We investigate discrete groups $G$ of isometries of a complete connected Riemannian manifold $M$ which are generated by reflections, in particular those generated by disecting reflections. We show that these are Coxeter groups, and that the the orbit space $M/G$ is isometric to a Weyl chamber $C$ which is a Riemannian manifold with corners and certain angle conditions along intersections of faces. We can also reconstruct the manifold and its action from the Riemannian chamber and its equipment of isotropy group data along the faces. We also discuss these results from the point of view of Riemannian orbifolds.
