subject: Criminal Violence

description: What is the effect of local security spending on the presence of criminal organizations and violence in Mexico? I exploit the implementation of the Subsidio para el Fortalecimiento del desempeño en materia de Seguridad Pública, better known as FORTASEG as a natural experiment to estimate the effects of public security expenditures and the number of criminal organizations present in Mexican municipalities. I estimate difference-in-differences models using a 1990-2020 panel dataset of 1476 Mexican municipalities. The analysis shows that cities funded by FORTASEG and municipalities in the control group followed similar trends in criminal presence and violence prior to the program. However, since the implementation of FORTASEG in 2016 the number of criminal groups increased while homicides rates declined in awarded municipalities from 2016 to 2020.

description: Among different cattle types, Bos indicus are known for their ability to better resist the tropical microbial infections comparatively, wherein MHC molecules play a significant role. In this study allelic diversity at MHC locus, DQA of Bos indicus, Bos taurus and crossbred of taurine-indicus has been explored to understand the possible role of MHC region in differential immune response. Thirty nine different DQA alleles were identified, out of which 14 were novel, along with documentation of duplication of DQA alleles. Indicus cattle population presented diverse types of DQA alleles compared to crossbred and exotic. Translated amino acid sequence analysis indicated, codon 64 and 50 of peptide binding sites being highly polymorphic and most of the indicus cattle presented alanine and arginine amino acid at position 64 and 50. Within breed genetic variation found to be higher than between breeds. Because of their ability to bind and subsequently respond to a wide array of antigens, the newly identified DQA alleles with high diversity present in the form of duplicated haplotypes in different combinations in cattle populations provided significant insights into probable role of this MHC locus in better tropical disease combating ability and genetic fitness of indicus cattle.

Exploiting Vagueness for Multi-Agent Consensus

Subjects: subject: Multiagent Systems (cs.MA)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A framework for consensus modelling is introduced using Kleene's three valued logic as a means to express vagueness in agents' beliefs. Explicitly borderline cases are inherent to propositions involving vague concepts where sentences of a propositional language may be absolutely true, absolutely false or borderline. By exploiting these intermediate truth values, we can allow agents to adopt a more vague interpretation of underlying concepts in order to weaken their beliefs and reduce the levels of inconsistency, so as to achieve consensus. We consider a consensus combination operation which results in agents adopting the borderline truth value as a shared viewpoint if they are in direct conflict. Simulation experiments are presented which show that applying this operator to agents chosen at random (subject to a consistency threshold) from a population, with initially diverse opinions, results in convergence to a smaller set of more precise shared beliefs. Furthermore, if the choice of agents for combination is dependent on the payoff of their beliefs, this acting as a proxy for performance or usefulness, then the system converges to beliefs which, on average, have higher payoff.

Neither War no Peace: State Provocation Strategy in the Context of the Inter-Korean Conflict
Creators: name: Oh, Samuel
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: International Relations + Foreign Affairs + Korea + South Korea + North Korea + Provocation Strategy + Interstate Conflict + Conflict Theory

description: North Korea’s developing nuclear program has resulted in strong interest in North Korean affairs in the 21st century at the expense of North Korean history and policy studies before the advent of nuclear weapons. Particularly missing is overarching analysis of North Korea’s pattern of military provocations against South Korea. Where literature has touched upon, for example, the 1968 Blue House raid, or the 1987 KAL 858 Bombing, they are either analyzed on a case-bycase basis or anachronistically viewed from the position of a nuclear-armed North Korea. This paper aims to develop an analytical trend in North Korean provocation strategy from the end of the Korean War in 1953 to the present. Did the North Korean perspective on when and how to use provocations change over the years, or did its provocation policy remain constant throughout North Korea’s relatively short history? This thesis expands upon existing provocation literature in international relations to present not only a broad analytical framework of North Korean provocations, but also a theoretical framework explaining state provocation behavior. I argue that North Korea was primarily influenced by changing economic and political domains on the Korean Peninsula when choosing to engage in hostile activities against South Korea. Finally, based on the case studies taken from the Korean conflict, I hypothesize three main strategies states undertake when obligated to provoke other states: provoking to incite, provoking to isolate, and provoking to coerce.
Two-loop Dirac neutrino mass and WIMP dark matter

description: We propose a "scotogenic" mechanism relating small neutrino mass and cosmological dark matter. Neutrinos are Dirac fermions with masses arising only in two--loop order through the sector responsible for dark matter. Two triality symmetries ensure both dark matter stability and strict lepton number conservation at higher orders. A global spontaneously broken U(1) symmetry leads to a physical $Diracon$ that induces invisible Higgs decays which add up to the Higgs to dark matter mode. This enhances sensitivities to spin-independent WIMP dark matter search below $m_h/2$.

description: 99mTc-Sestamibi Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) contributes to the non-invasive differentiation of renal oncocytoma (RO) from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by characterising renal tumours as Sestamibi positive or Sestamibi negative regarding their 99mTc-Sestamibi uptake compared to the non-tumoral renal parenchyma. To determine whether 99mTc- Sestamibi uptake in renal tumour and the non-tumoral renal parenchyma measured using Standard Uptake Value (SUV) SPECT, has a beneficial role in differentiating RO from RCC. Fifty-seven renal tumours from 52 patients were evaluated. In addition to visual evaluation of 99mTc-Sestamibi uptake, SUVmax measurements were performed in the renal tumour and the ipsilateral non-tumoral renal parenchyma. Analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve identified an optimal cut-off value for detecting RO, based on the relative ratio of 99mTc- Sestamibi uptake. Semiquantitative evaluation of 99mTc-Sestamibi uptake did not improve the performance of 99mTc- Sestamibi SPECT/CT in detecting RO. 99mTc- Sestamibi SPECT/CT identifies a group of mostly indolent Sestamibi-positive tumours with low malignant potential containing RO, Low-Grade Oncocytic Tumours, Hybrid Oncocytic Tumours, and a subset of chromophobe RCCs. The imaging limitations for accurate differentiation of Sestamibi-positive renal tumours mirror the recognised diagnostic complexities of the histopathologic evaluation of oncocytic neoplasia. Patients with Sestamibi-positive renal tumours could be better suited for biopsy and follow-up, according to the current active surveillance protocols.
Public Expenditure in Ethiopia: Trend and Its Significance
Creators: name: Assefa, Zerihun
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Improvement of life of citizens through public expenditure has raised questions for a number of years. Moreover, different theories were framed and varieties of policies were articulated on the importance of public expenditure and its significance to growth. This paper examines the impact of public expenditure (disaggregated into recurrent and capital expenditure) on economic growth from 1973 to 2005 E.C. Three variable multiple regression model was adopted while recurrent expenditure and capital expenditure were used as independent variables and gross domestic product - GDP, as dependent variable. The results suggest that both recurrent public expenditure and capital expenditure had positive and significant impact on economic growth. This necessitates the government to follow a parallel movement among these expenditures and avoid doing one at the expense of another as the nation should not be starved today for the return of tomorrow. Moreover, trend of capital expenditure is increasing that, if continued, shows the country"s bright future in capital investment if it is properly managed and free from misallocation.

Available empirical information is analyzed to put constraints on the couplings of $Δ$s with meson fields. Conditions for the appearance of $Δ$s are studied. We demonstrate that with inclusion of the $Δ$s our equations of state continue to fulfill majority of known empirical constraints including the pressure-density constraint from heavy-ion collisions, the constraint on the maximum mass of the neutron stars, the direct Urca and the gravitational-baryon mass ratio constraints.

description: Urosepsis is a life-threatening condition that needs to be addressed without delay. Two critical issues in its management are: (1) Appropriate empirical antibiotic therapy, considering the patients general condition, comorbidity, and the pathogen expected; and (2) Timing of imaging to identify obstruction requiring decompression. To identify risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in patients with urosepsis. From a cohort of 1,605 community-onset bloodstream infections (CO-BSI), 282 patients with urosepsis were identified in a Swedish county 2019–2020. Risk factors for mortality with crude and adjusted odds ratios were analysed using logistic regression. Urosepsis was found in 18% (n = 282) of all CO-BSIs. The 30-day all-cause mortality was 14% (n = 38). After multivariable analysis, radiologically detected urinary tract disorder was the predominant risk factor for mortality (OR = 4.63, 95% CI = 1.47–14.56), followed by microbiologically inappropriate empirical antibiotic therapy (OR = 4.19, 95% CI = 1.41–12.48). Time to radiological diagnosis and decompression of obstruction for source control were also important prognostic factors for survival. Interestingly, 15% of blood cultures showed gram-positive species associated with a high 30-day mortality rate of 33%. The 30-day all-cause mortality from urosepsis was 14%. The two main risk factors for mortality were hydronephrosis caused by obstructive stone in the ureter and inappropriate empirical antibiotic therapy. Therefore, early detection of any urinary tract disorder by imaging followed by source control as required, and antibiotic coverage of both gram-negative pathogens and gram-positive species such as E. faecalis to optimise management, is likely to improve survival in patients with urosepsis.

The role of sample height in the stacking diagram of colloidal mixtures under gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Bulk phase separation is responsible for the occurrence of stacks of different layers in sedimentation of colloidal mixtures. A recently proposed theory (de las Heras and Schmidt 2013 Soft Matter 9 8636) establishes a unique connection between the bulk phase behaviour and sedimentation-diffusion-equilibrium. The theory constructs a stacking diagram of all possible sequences of stacks under gravity in the limit of very high (infinite) sample heights. Here, we study the stacking diagrams of colloidal mixtures at finite sample height, h. We demonstrate that h plays a vital role in sedimentation-diffusion-equilibrium of colloidal mixtures. The region of the stacking diagram occupied by a given sequence of stacks depends on h. Hence, two samples with different heights but identical colloidal concentrations can develop different stacking sequences. In addition, the stacking diagrams for different heights can be qualitatively different since some stacking sequences occur only in a given interval of sample heights. We use the theory to investigate the stacking diagrams of both model bulk systems and mixtures of patchy particles that differ either by the number or by the types of patches.

description: The paper analyzed the relationship between exchange rate and trade balance of Ethiopia employing cointegration technique using annual data from 1974/75 to 2011/12. It has conducted Zivot-Andrews and Perron unit root test with structural break and Gregory-Hansen structural break cointegration test besides the convectional unit root and cointegration tests. The coingeration tests revealed that there is long run relationship among variables, however, estimation results indicated that the sign of real effective exchange rate is positive and insignificant which confirms against Marshal- Learner condition, only currency devaluation may not improve trade balance of Ethiopia unless other simultaneous policies taken. Keywords: Exchange Rate; Trade Balance; ML Condition; Structural Break and Cointegraion

The importance of correctly presenting elementary theory of phase transitions, computational algorithms and finite-size scaling techniques results in a important understanding of both the Ising model and the second order phase transitions. In doing so, Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations are performed for different lattice sizes with periodic boundary conditions. Energy, magnetization, specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and the correlation function are calculated and the critical exponents determined by finite-size scaling techniques. The importance of the correlation length as the relevant parameter in phase transitions is emphasized.

description: The plastic lines of corn VK 792/12-19 and VK 792/12-29 increase grain yield when environmental conditions improve. We found that the lines VK 792/12-10, VK 792/12-17, VK 792/12-18, VK 792/12-45, VK 792/12-82 and VK 792/12-114 were stable in grain yield and stress resistant. The lines 792/12-10 and VK 792/12-45 had low grain maturity at harvest. Selected lines with high adaptive characteristics will beused in breeding programmes for developing early-maturing corn hybrids.

description: Показано развитие технологии полной заводки кристаллов при уваривании утфеля первого продукта на основе применения затравочной суспензии (slurry), полученной методом мокрого измельчения сахара в шаровых мельницах. Преимущества усовершенствованной технологии заводки кристаллов на основе slurry заключаются в повышении точности прогнозирования результата кристаллообразования посредством использования системы анализа показателей исходной суспензии, которая учитывает дисперсность кристаллов и количество растворившейся их мелкодисперсной фракции. При этом применяются вероятностные оценки в расчёте размеров частиц и использован алгоритм адаптивной коррекции ошибки дозирования slurry.
description: The development of the technology for the complete loading of crystals during the boiling of the massecuite of the first product based on the use of a seed suspension (slurry) obtained by the method of wet grinding of sugar in ball mills is shown. The advantages of the improved slurry-based crystal planting technology are to increase the accuracy of predicting the result of crystal formation through the use of an analysis system for the initial suspension indicators, which takes into account the dispersion of crystals and the amount of their finely dispersed fraction that has dissolved. In this case, probabilistic estimates are used in the calculation of particle sizes and the algorithm for adaptive correction of the dosing error slurry is used.
Effects of the Fiscal Policy Shocks under the Debt Feedback Rule in Ethiopia: Evidence from SVAR Model
Creators: name: Hanbiso, Mathewos
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: This study investigates the macroeconomic effects of fiscal policy shocks in Ethiopia under Structural Vectorautoregressive model (SVAR). The model is built on the recent popular shock identification approach and further adjusted to account for the feedback effects of public debt. Under such specification, the intentions are to draw lessons on the dynamic responses of output, inflation, cost of debt and nominal exchange rate to the government expenditure and revenue shocks. In addressing these objectives, the impulse response functions generated through a bootstrap technique are used. Consequently, the result confirms the argument that ignoring the reactions of fiscal and macro variables to the debt level produces incorrect estimates of the effects of fiscal policy for Ethiopia. Besides, shocks in government spending have an expansionary effect on output; lead to quick rise in prices; produce small varied effect on cost of debt; deteriorate nominal exchange rate in the long run and make debt to GDP ratio increase. Alternatively, shocks in revenue have less clear cut, small positive effect on output; temporary price stabilization effect; no meaningful effect on cost of debt; and less stabilization effect on debt ratio. As a result, caution must be taken to ensure increases in spending should not lead to increased debt and inflationary pressure. Likewise, a better revenue collection effort and expanding tax bases in the country could boost growth and reduce debt more.

description: While thermodynamics is a useful tool to describe the driving of large systems close to equilibrium, fluctuations dominate the distribution of heat and work in small systems and far from equilibrium. We study the heat generated by driving a small system and change the drive parameters to analyse the transition from a drive leaving the system close to equilibrium to driving it far from equilibrium. Our system is a quantum dot in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure hosting a two-dimensional electron gas. The dot is tunnel-coupled to one part of the two-dimensional electron gas acting as a heat and particle reservoir. We use standard rate equations to model the driven dot-reservoir system and find excellent agreement with the experiment. Additionally, we quantify the fluctuations by experimentally test the theoretical concept of the arrow of time, predicting our ability to distinguish whether a process goes in the forward or backward drive direction.

RMS 129 in a fallow link and RMS 121 and RMS 127 in a clover link were the most productive. Use of fertilizers in the fallow link was more effective providing yield improvement by 3.9–48.3 %. For the clover link, the increase was by 9.4–31.0 %. The greatest influence had the system of N190P190K190.
You Are How You Argue: Norm Contestation & the Responsibility to Protect at the UN General Assembly
Creators: name: De Havenon, Maxine
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: Since its codification in 2005, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) remains one of the most hotly debated norms in the international sphere. Such contestedness is understandable given the doctrine’s natural ambiguity and complexity, but often, any pushback over a particular application or proper interpretation of R2P is taken to represent wholesome rejection on the part of the state contesting. This has resulted in false positives, generalizations, and a lack of concern for the true perspectives of individual states. These forgone conclusions are due in part to the fact that while scholars have identified different forms and motivations for contestation, existing research has not explored when we should expect to see one type of contestation over another. By crafting a “typology” of contestation specific to R2P, the goal of this paper is to prove that states from different “normative communities” will choose different platforms for their contestation. Through a rigorous assessment of three types of contestation at the UN General Assembly – reforms, votes, and debates – I observe that human rights norm antipreneurs such as Syria and Venezuela are the only states who express contestation through “no” votes, while competitor entrepreneurs including India and South Africa are the most likely to contest R2P through support for reforms. Given this finding, I argue states determine the avenue through which to contest a norm based on how overtly they wish to be seen to challenge the norm at hand. This not only provides good news for R2P (not all states who express concerns over R2P wish to see it fail!), but also moves the literature on norms one step closer to integration by proving different types of contestation can – and do – exist simultaneously.
