description: Las sociedades contemporáneas se enfrentan de manera diferente al decline de la fuerza del parentesco, así como a otros efectos de las transiciones demográficas, como el envejecimiento de la población y el paso de formas de familia nuclear a formas “unclear”. Una de las estrategias consiste en expandir y remodelar los lazos existentes através de modalidades de relacionalidad como las que son comúnmente denominadas “parentesco ficticio”. A partir de un estudio etnográfico sobre las transformaciones del sistema de compadrazgo en Quito (Ecuador), este artículo considera el parentesco ficticio en perspectiva comparada, prestando atención a las transformaciones y continuidades de sus formas tradicionales.

description: Abstract Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. They can be modeled by the largely equivalent Kondo or Anderson impurity models. The role of the magnetic and nonmagnetic properties of the impurity in relation to the coupling to the substrate is still under debate. Here, we use a scanning tunneling microscope to make a quantitative connection between the energy of a YSR state and the impurity-substrate hybridization. We corroborate the impurity substrate coupling as a key energy scale for surface derived YSR states using the Anderson impurity model. By combining experimental data from YSR state spectra and additional conductance measurements, we can determine on which side of the quantum phase transition the system resides. We thus provide a crucial step towards a more quantitative understanding of the crucial role of impurity substrate coupling utilizing the Anderson model.

Colorfastness is vital to garments for overall aesthetic appeal. Unless a consumer is wearing indigo denim, they are not happy when their clothes fade after multiple home laundering cycles. Not only is it important to choose dyes with good washfastness properties, but the finish used must be compatible with the fabric on which it is applied.

Fabric softeners are the largest consumed finishes in the textile industry by amount and value.1 Fabrics treated with two major categories of softeners were used for this research. Fabric A was treated with cationic softener and fabric B with non-ionic softener.

Past research from Cotton Incorporated has shown that these softener-based finishes may lead to surface fuzzing when exposed to home laundering.2 This surface fuzz may result in apparent color loss, giving the wearer the impression of color fading, when in reality the surface fuzz caused the fabric to appear lighter than it actually was.3,4 As the laundry appliance industry moves forward with high efficiency washing machines, the nature of fabric abrasion is a critical area of interest. How

do laundry machine platforms interact with fabrics and contribute to this apparent color loss? Is it just a function of finish or is the method of laundry agitation key to fuzz generation?

This cooperative study indicates that the low water platforms are as gentle on cotton knits as the deepwater technology. The test fabrics were quite robust to the mechanical action of all three wash platforms, High Efficiency Vertical Axis (VA), Horizontal Axis (HA), and Traditional deep water Vertical Axis (TV). Twenty home laundering cycles in three platforms

produced few measurable differences in fabric surface changes between finishes and platforms.

description: Abstract Leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) play a major role in energy homeostasis, metabolism, and reproductive function. While effects of biallelic likely pathogenic variants (-/-) on the phenotype are well characterized, effects of mono-allelic likely pathogenic variants (wt/-) in the LEP and LEPR gene on the phenotype compared to wild-type homozygosity (wt/wt) have not been systematically investigated. We identified in our systematic review 44 animal studies (15 on Lep, 29 on Lepr) and 39 studies in humans reporting on 130 mono-allelic likely pathogenic variant carriers with 20 distinct LEP variants and 108 heterozygous mono-allelic likely pathogenic variant carriers with 35 distinct LEPR variants. We found indications for a higher weight status in carriers of mono-allelic likely pathogenic variant in the leptin and in the leptin receptor gene compared to wt/wt, in both animal and human studies. In addition, animal studies showed higher body fat percentage in Lep and Lepr wt/- vs wt/wt. Animal studies provided indications for lower leptin levels in Lep wt/- vs. wt/wt and indications for higher leptin levels in Lepr wt/- vs wt/wt. Data on leptin levels in human studies was limited. Evidence for an impaired metabolism in mono-allelic likely pathogenic variants of the leptin and in leptin receptor gene was not conclusive (animal and human studies). Mono-allelic likely pathogenic variants in the leptin and in leptin receptor gene have phenotypic effects disposing to increased body weight and fat accumulation.

description: Uno de los rasgos más singulares del peronismo es la originalidadde albergar en su seno un doble liderazgo carismático, el de un líder y una líder, que son complementarios uno del otro. El paradigma por excelencia corresponde a Perón y Eva Perón, pero hubo otros casos que, más modestos, han servido para cimentar la cultura política argentina: el matrimonio gobernante. Se iniciaron con el cambio de rol de las primeras damas quienes redefinieron su papel y construyeron espacios de poder e influencia. En este trabajo analizo el papel de Elena Caporale de Mercante y la función política novedosa que emprendió como esposa del gobernador más importante que tuvo el primer peronismo.

description: The RNA-binding protein PURA has been implicated in the rare, monogenetic, neurodevelopmental disorder PURA Syndrome. PURA binds both DNA and RNA and has been associated with various cellular functions. Only little is known about its main cellular roles and the molecular pathways affected upon PURA depletion. Here, we show that PURA is predominantly located in the cytoplasm, where it binds to thousands of mRNAs. Many of these transcripts change abundance in response to PURA depletion. The encoded proteins suggest a role for PURA in immune responses, mitochondrial function, autophagy and processing (P)-body activity. Intriguingly, reduced PURA levels decrease the expression of the integral P-body components LSM14A and DDX6 and strongly affect P-body formation in human cells. Furthermore, PURA knockdown results in stabilization of P-body-enriched transcripts, whereas other mRNAs are not affected. Hence, reduced PURA levels, as reported in patients with PURA Syndrome, influence the formation and composition of this phase-separated RNA processing machinery. Our study proposes PURA Syndrome as a new model to study the tight connection between P-body-associated RNA regulation and neurodevelopmental disorders.

description: In March of 2020, every teacher's career changed when the impact of COVID-19 prevented students from coming to school in-person. With the entire structure of education forced to change because of schools moving to online learning, Bandura's research on self-efficacy can provide insight to how individual teachers' self-efficacy beliefs adapted during COVID. This qualitative study focused on individual teacher's experiences involving the four sources that are known to impact self-efficacy, including mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and physiological state. Given that research has found educators at the mid-point of their career are typically at their highest levels of teacher self-efficacy beliefs, seven teachers with at least ten or more years of experience in a public high school were interviewed for this research. This study observed that each teacher was impacted to varying degrees in each of the four sources of self-efficacy over the two years, between March 2020 and June 2022. The most notable self-efficacy impacts among all participants were with mastery experiences, social persuasion, and personal physiological state, as many teachers struggled with the loss of student interaction while teaching online. This study's findings suggest that the amount of support from schools and leadership played a significant role in teachers recovering their self-efficacy beliefs during COVID. In addition, results found that teachers who had an adaptable growth mindset toward teaching were more likely to easily rebound from self-efficacy loss. Based on these findings, school districts should evaluate what kinds of support they provide to teachers, both pre- and post-COVID. Focusing on what teachers need most, considerations should potentially address emotional adaptability and wellness opportunities to help teachers not only recover from the lingering effects of COVID, but also the everyday changes they face in the classroom.
Transformations in South Africa’s Agri-food Exports to the European Union

Subjects: International Relations/Trade

description: Despite the free trade agreement, South Africa’s agri-food exports to the European Union (EU) are declining. Without intervention, we expect this trend to persist. The paper aims to interrogate the change in South Africa’s agri-food exports to the EU by applying the Constant Market Share (CMS) model to study South African agri-food exports to the four EU sub-regions over 20 years. This allows us to analyse the impact of trade liberalisation and the slowdown of global value chain activity on agri-food trade. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to understand the competitiveness of South African agri-food exports to the EU using the CMS model over a longer period. The agri-food products are grouped into four categories: bulk commodities, processed intermediate goods, horticulture products and consumer-ready goods. We find that South African agri-food exports were responsive to changes in the EU market demand for agri-food imports. However, South African agri-food exports were not competitive over the long period. This is because South Africa focused on slower-growing markets and agri- food commodities that show lower-than-average growth rates. South Africa is competitive in exporting specific agri-food commodities to specific markets with increasing demand. We recommend that South Africa focus on exporting commodities for which demand is growing quicker to fast-growing EU markets and invest in key priority areas to compete with other sources of supply available to the EU.

description: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a key technology to support interoperability among data and processing resources. Semantic interoperability requires mapping between vocabularies of independently developed resources, a task fraught with uncertainty. Probabilistic ontologies enable representation of knowledge in domains characterized by uncertainty. As such, they promise to improve the quality of service descriptions, enable more thorough analysis of service composition opportunities, and provide a theoretically sound methodology for semantic mapping under uncertainty. This paper defines probabilistic ontologies, discusses their application to SOA, and presents a conceptual scheme for using a federation of ontologies (with both common and probabilistic ontologies) as a semantic mapping tool for service oriented information exchange systems with different levels of service descriptions (including legacy and probabilistic enabled descriptions).

description: This thesis is the first half of a novel. The novel follows a heroine’s journey plot structure and includes the stories of not only the main protagonist, Evelyn, but also the stories of her two mothers, Helen and Elizabeth (Bess). The primary story is set in the early 1950s and alternates between Washington D.C. and central Virginia. The mothers’ stories are told in first person and the protagonist’s story is told in close third person. The author explores agency in each of the main character’s lives through this character-driven novel. During the first half of the twentieth century, women often had limited choices and opportunities, and those choices often had far-reaching effects—effects with which the three main characters must come to terms. Given that the novel takes place in the early 1950s, an important time period in the growing civil rights movement, race, prejudice, and confusing social mores are central to the story.

Al contrario, laletteratura ne ha registrato l’esistenza a partire da Los de abajo(1915) di Mariano Azuela fino alle opere di Elena Poniatowska, autrice di un testo classico della letteratura di testimonianza (Hasta no verte Jesús mío, del 1969), oltre che curatrice di due raccolte di immagini (Las soldaderas, del 1997 eLa Adelita, del 2006, in collaborazione con Fernando Robles). Il saggio si propone di analizzare l’importanza della partecipazione delle soldaderasalla Rivoluzione messicana attraverso le modalità di rappresentazione individuabili nella narrativa sul tema, con incursioni nella pittura, nella fotografia, nel cinema e nel teatro.

City Traffic Aware Multi-Target Tracking Prediction With Multi-Camera
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description:  In recent years, Multi-Camera Multiple Object Tracking (MCMT) has gained significant attention as a crucial computer vision application. Research focuses on data association and track detection. However, accurately selecting datasets from raw vision data remains challenging due to real-world complexities like object types, varying speeds, and unknown directions. To address these problems, this paper proposes the Object Tracking Model (OTM) to capture the feature of target area with the Camera Monitoring Network (CMN) based on Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). Our method gives the way for many existing MCMT method to apply into real applications, especially the large scale CMN, which usually provides quite huge amount of raw data, and can reduce the time consumption on the object detection from the data set. Experimental results show that our method outperform existing MC-MOT algorithms by a large margin on CityFlowV2 datasets.

description: As the size of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistor (FET) approaches its fundamental physical limit, two-dimensional (2D) layered structures, such as transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), have been proposed as the alternative channel materials to extend the Moore’s law. In this thesis, we proposed and studied a new set of device structures based on 2D MoS2/WSe2 heterojunction in order to construct the smallest field effect transistor, whereas the switching is achieved via gated heterojunction. Following a step-by-step approach, we have studied the doping effect of different TMDs, formation of heterojunction between different TMDs and gated field effect transistor based on these 2D heterojunctions. During the study of Doping effect on 2D TMDs, we found that random dopant position led to large variation in electronic properties of 2D materials. Therefore, we focus on the study of 2D heterojunction FET instead of the pn-junction. We have studied the formation and transport properties of 2D heterojunctions, with a focus on MoS2/WSe2 heterojunction as it exhibits the best junction characteristics. We then used the MoS2/WSe2 heterojunctions as the channel materials to construct the smallest FET. Such 2D junction-based FETs exhibited very interesting and attractive device characteristics. This study has successfully demonstrated a new set of device structures and materials in order to achieve 2D FET for the extension of CMOS scaling. The results of this thesis may open a suit of new applications in future electronics.
So how does it feel to sing home?: An arts practice exploration of space, place and identity within my songwriting practice

subject: Music

description: I am a singer songwriter and an Irish Traditional musician. My research challenges my own songwriting practice through an exploration of the themes of Space, Place, and Identity. A formulation of new methods of creative practice develops new insights and tools to inspire creativity more broadly.My early emigrant experience in the U.K. in the 1980’s was the ultimate impetus for this research. In being so abruptly removed from the Place I had always called home; it became vital for me to remember where I had come from and writing songs was both an effective and cathartic way of doing this. Although I returned to Ireland 20 years ago, those experiences remain central to my work as a songwriter and academic.So how does it feel to be home? Would you have come back sooner if you’d known? That the troubles inside would be stilled by the tide And hope the Atlantic provides (Home, 2002, Claire Watts)
Being displaced has framed my experience as a songwriter, musician and scholar. My mother was Irish, and my father is English, and this meant that my childhood experience was shaped by a navigation between two very different cultural worlds, and this has led to my ongoing fascination into how Space and Place serves my sense of Identity as a singer songwriter.Grounded in a Practice as Research theoretical approach, my research project employs a variety of methodologies with evidencing based on a reflective analysis of my own practice while also drawing on material from interviews with other songwriters and feedback from two major performances completed during this PhD. The 12 songs created for this project are definite research outputs in themselves, but also serve as a means of documenting my process. This documentation of my process is further amplified through autoethnographic writing, reflections, photographs and excerpts from practice journals.The 5 chapters of this thesis document this research journey and the accompanying audio/visual recordings document the two major performances completed as part of this PhD.

description: With gender inequality holding a powerful presence in todays’ discourse following the third wave of feminism, #MeToo movement, and potential changes to Title IX guidelines, it is becoming increasingly clear that we do not know enough about the life experiences of women. The jail resident population in particular has increased almost eight-fold in the past 30 years (The Sentencing Project, 2019). Research should focus specifically on women because they not only experience more trauma, substance use (SU) problems, and mental health (MH) issues than men, but they leave the criminal justice system no better than when they entered it, and therefore are more likely to return (Belknap, 2007; Belknap et al., 2016; Belknap & Holsinger, 2006; Covington & Bloom, 2003; Drapalski et al., 2009; Fazel et al., 2006; Greenfeld & Snell, 1999; Hills et al., 2004; James & Glaze, 2006; Langan & Levin, 2002; Pollock, 2002; Salina et al., 2004; Snell & Morton, 1991). Thus, in order to curtail their rising population, we need to understand and serve their needs more effectively in attempts to propel their desistance from crime. The purpose of this research is to identify women jail residents’ perceptions of their own needs throughout their criminal justice experience (i.e., pre-incarceration, during incarceration, and after incarceration) to inform jail programming which could successfully target those needs. This study relies on administrative data and data collected via interviews with women jail residents at all three security levels (i.e., low, medium, high) and women correctional staff at one mid-Atlantic jail. By comparing perceptions of needs across security-level, this research advances the current understanding of women jail residents’ needs from multiple perspectives. In addition, it also furthers our knowledge on how connection and access to programming addresses some/all of the needs of these women. Gauging in what ways the perceptions of women staff and jail residents may overlap or differ is an important distinction that informs whether hierarchical (i.e., power-based) roles change perceptions of women’s needs. Interviews with women jail staff inform how the social connection (i.e., relationships) between women jail residents and staff facilitates or inhibits women’s connection to appropriate resource essentials during their jail stay and in planning for their reentry process. In this specific setting, only women jail staff are permitted to work with the women jail residents and thus are the only connection for women jail residents to access the resources they need. Overall, this research highlights the life experiences of women in jail and may inform jail administrators on the needs of women who are incarcerated and whether those needs are adequately met or if there are gaps that need filled regarding programming.

title: Experiences Through a Lens: Exploring Effects of Transfer in a Youth Peacebuilding Initiative

subject: Conflict resolution

description: The current research is concerned with the effects of transfer in youth peacebuilding initiatives. Through examining one particular ICR effort, this thesis attempts to explore if transfer occurs and how youth participants transfer what they learn and practice in a short summer program into their adult lives, and sometimes, into a life-time of peacebuilding and intercultural work. Additionally, it calls into question the nature of just what is being transferred. Through the course of the research it became clear that the tangible outcomes – volunteer work, political activity, etc. – that the researcher was initially interested in were not what research respondents were interested in talking about. Instead, their responses frequently dwelt on internal, emotional changes. The research utilized a mixed methods case study approach, including an online questionnaire and interviews. Additionally, the researcher has worked for the program being studied, and so was able to incorporate insider observations and personal communications with research subjects. The research found that transfer does occur, though primarily in the form of changed views of self and participants relationship to the world. It found six primary themes that encapsulated the effects of transfer – personal connections and cultural experiences, self-learning and reflection, the uniqueness of the experience and inability to explain it, practicing for later, follow-up, and cumulative effects. As transfer in terms of internal changes is under theorized in youth peacebuilding, the research identities questions and avenues of exploration for future research.
title: When the Personal Becomes Political: Infrastructural Violence and Socio-Spatial Exclusion of Persons with Physical Diffabilities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

description: This thesis examines the experiences of people with physical disabilities as they experience inaccessible public and social spaces in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This paper seeks to contribute to the growing body of literature in the field of disability anthropology by analyzing the notion of “embodied spaces” by pulling insights from multiple fields, such as narrative, urban geography and disability studies on socio-spatial exclusion. Throughout the paper, I analyze how cultural meanings of bodily difference contribute to and perpetuate socio-spatial exclusion for people with physical diff-abilities in Yogyakarta. Through ethnographic analysis, semi-structured interviews and a survey of inaccessible public transportation, public spaces, and community awareness of diff-abilities, I argue that people with physical diff-abilities in Yogyakarta continue to face instances of socio-spatial exclusion stemming from the Dutch colonization from 1602 to 1949 when the Dutch brought with them the medical model of disability. I also explore how people with physical diff-abilities in Yogyakarta are experiencing new forms of socio-spatial exclusion through globalization and political activism as they demand a more inclusive society.
