“ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY”, POLITICAL DEMOCRACY AND EVALUATION FRAMEWORKS
Creators: name: Munda, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: BDC. Bollettino Del Centro Calza Bini
Year: 2014

description: When one wishes to formulate, evaluate and implement public projects or policies, the existence of a plurality of social actors, with interest in the options being assessed, generates a conflictual situation. In this article, I show that the compensation principle was invented by Kaldor and Hicks to achieve two clear objectives: to compare individuals’ preferences according to the efficiency oriented utilitarian calculus, explicitly avoiding the principle one individual, one vote; to implement an objective evaluation criterion, that could be accepted in the framework of the dominant positivistic philosophical paradigm. Here, I try to prove that in the compensation principle, there is no escape from value judgements, it is not the positivistic objective evaluation criterion. A relevant question is: are the original Kaldor-Hicks objectives still relevant in the 21st Century?

title: Catapulted by Covid-19 : hitting new information literacy targets at the University of Edinburgh

description: The University of Edinburgh is a large and complex organisation where the teaching of academic, digital and information literacy skills is undertaken by several stakeholders including academic units, the Institute for Academic Development, the Student Induction Team, Digital Skills Team and the Library. COVID-19 created a key change in strategic priorities and a new opportunity to develop co-ordinated support for student transition into a hybrid learning environment. As part of a new suite of short online transition courses, we developed a new online information literacy course, LibSmart, at speed between May and September 2020. This aims to ensure that every student is digitally capable in using online library resources for their study and research and was written for SCQF level 8. Our choice of learning technologies, including a reflective journal and discussion boards, supported our approach to student engagement, using the principles outlined by Howson (2014). Our choice of content was based on the development of an Information Literacy Framework, which aligned to the Digital Skills Framework used by the University, and was refined by using a ‘Library’ lens which focused on our key library systems. The course is designed to be used by any student, regardless of discipline, in order to ensure equity of access, but to overcome the lack of appeal that generic skills courses can have for students we designed in options for exploring a student’s own subject pathway. Course evaluation is exploring how far the reach of LibSmart extended and what the impact on the student experience was. COVID-19 created a new imperative for our students to engage with online library resources and for our academic staff to support skills development for that engagement. We’ve been able to building on this to propose a second higher level information literacy course, which has been welcomed in the context of wider curriculum reform within the University. This modular and interdisciplinary course will allow students to select from a portfolio of courses including health, legal, data and Special Collections literacies, and to complete an assessed reflective blog which will integrate their learning. This presentation will cover how we planned and built the online course, lessons learned along the way, and evaluation of usage over semester one. We’ll also share what the impact has been on our synchronous information literacy teaching. The paper will also be of interest to those reflecting on the pivot to online learning post COVID in a large HE institution, and on strategies for levering academic engagement with academic skills courses.

description: Learning word embeddings on large unlabeled corpora has proven effective for many natural language tasks,. However, these representations can be further improved by incorporating external lexical resources. Previous research has demonstrated that lexical vector representation (embeddings; e.g. dic2vec) trained on both text and lexical data (e.g., WordNet and/or monolingual dictionaries) give improved results for English. Many Serbian Wordnet and Serbian electronic dictionaries present on the Web enable testing this approach for Serbian within this project. In this paper, we adapt the original dict2vec project for Serbian language resources. We present the textual, lexical, and vector resources prepared and used for training and evaluation, describe the training pipeline and discuss preliminary evaluation results. We conclude this paper by outlining ongoing work and future steps.

description: La difesa del territorio dai fenomeni di dissesto idrogeologico è un tema molto sentito e attuale sia a livello nazionale che internazionale. Ogni anno tali fenomeni provocano a livello mondiale enormi danni non solo ambientali ma anche sociali ed economici. L’attività antropica, soprattutto in relazione alla modifica dell’uso del suolo e all’intensificazione dell’agricoltura, è fra i principali fattori che incidono sulla stabilità dei suoli. Per una gestione adeguata del territorio in termini di prevenzione e controllo del dissesto idrogeologico, è fondamentale l’uso di strumenti in grado di conciliare il supporto al decisore pubblico con l’analisi territoriale. Lo scopo del presente lavoro è quello di illustrare l’utilizzo dell’integrazione tra Geographic Information Systems (GIS) e analisi multicriteri (MCDA) per un caso di dissesto superficiale relativo al bacino del Menotre in Umbria, proponendo in particolare il Dominance based Rough Set Approach, sviluppato in GRASS GIS 6.

description: We examine the potential-energy curves and polarization of the dipole moments of two static polar molecules under the influence of an external dc electric field and their anisotropic dipole-dipole interaction. We model the molecules as quantum rigid rotors to take their rotational degrees of freedom into account and consider a selection of linear, symmetric, and asymmetric top molecules. We provide a comprehensive examination of the energy curves and polarization of the dipoles for varying inter-molecular separation and direction of the electric field and find that the properties of the molecules depend strongly on the field's direction at short separations, showing the importance of accounting for molecular rotation. The latter provides insight into the possible effects of accounting for rotational degrees of freedom in molecular dipolar gases.

description: Il presenta articolo prende spunto dalla proposta dell’UNESCO del 2011 di Valutazione di Impatto sul Patrimonio (Heritage Impact Assessment – HIA) proponendo un approccio multicriterio alla valutazione di cinque possibili scenari di intervento, tra loro alternativi, per il sito UNESCO Costa d’Amalfi. La definizione degli scenari è stata effettuata a partire dalla pianificazione sovraordinata e dalla programmazione vigente, nonché sulla base di un’analisi SWOT. La valutazione multicriterio, elaborata con riferimento a specifici obiettivi e criteri, ha consentito di dedurre una graduatoria di preferibilità tra gli scenari proposti, in particolare applicando il metodo Regime e conducendo anche una analisi di sensitività dei risultati ottenuti.

description: I sistemi terrazzati rappresentano una particolare tipologia di paesaggio culturale agricolo, considerati paesaggi a rischio a causa delle trasformazioni socio-economiche. Diverse iniziative internazionali (UNESCO, ITLA, GIAHS FAO) hanno evidenziato la necessità di conoscere, valutare, tutelare e valorizzare il sistema complesso di servizi e benefici offerti dal paesaggio terrazzato, per evitare la perdita irreversibile di sistemi che rappresentano un efficace modello di resilienza costruito nel corso dei secoli. Questo articolo propone l’approccio dei landscape services per la valutazione degli indicatori relativi ai servizi del paesaggio terrazzato. La metodologia viene applicata al caso studio del sito UNESCO della Costiera Amalfitana. I risultati mostrano come i servizi di regolazione, mantenimento e approvvigionamento siano prioritari per la conservazione del paesaggio terrazzato.

Essi sono caratterizzati da merci, persone, lingue, culture i cui flussi contribuiscono in modo, apparentemente intangibile, ma in realtà determinante al disegno del contesto urbano di riferimento. Ragionare sulle potenzialità delle città portuali in contesti legati al Sud del Mondo, potrebbe essere un’ulteriore strategia per proporre scenari di sviluppo realmente sostenibile. L’area portuale di Tangeri in Marocco, caratterizzata attualmente da due poli, il porto storico ed il nuovo a 40 km dal precedente Tangeri Med, potrebbe essere un interessante laboratorio per ragionare e proporre strategie, piani e programmi innovativi finalizzati ad uno sviluppo sostenibile a scala locale e globale.

With each of the case studies, the problem statement, the approach adopted for 3D visualisation, and the outcome is covered. The paper concludes by discussing what 3D visualisation offered to each project. The paper discusses how in order to effectively use 3D visualisation the approach needs to be adapted according to the problem statement. Depending on the project requirement, 3D visualisation is likely to serve multiple purposes in urban development, regeneration, and Smart City demonstration projects. The paper suggests that the use of 3D visualisation adds an extra dimension to presenting data and also provides an effective tool for analysing the data.

description: Wearable head sensor systems use different kinematic signal processing approaches which limits field-based inter-study comparisons, especially when artefacts are present in the signal. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency content and characteristics of head kinematic signals from head impact reconstruction laboratory and field-based environments to develop an artefact attenuation filtering method (artefact attenuation method). Laboratory impacts (n=72) on a test-dummy headform ranging from 25-150 g were conducted and 126 elite-level rugby union players were equipped with instrumented mouthguards (iMG) for up to four matches. Power spectral density (PSD) characteristics of the laboratory impacts and on-field HAE (n=5694) such as the 95th percentile cumulative sum PSD frequency were utilised to develop the artefact attenuation method. The artefact attenuation method was compared to two other common filtering approaches (Fourth order (2x2 pole), zero-lag Butterworth filter with 200 Hz (-6 dB) cut-off frequency (Butterworth-200Hz) and CFC180 filter) through signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and mixed linear effects models for laboratory and on-field events, respectively. The artefact attenuation method produced an overall higher SNR than the Butterworth-200Hz and CFC180 filter and on-field peak linear acceleration (PLA) and peak angular acceleration (PAA) values within the magnitude range tested in the laboratory. Median PLA and PAA were higher for the CFC180 filter than the Butterworth-200Hz (p<0.01) and artefact attenuation method (p<0.01), reporting values as high as 294 g and 31.2 krad/s2. The artefact attenuation method can be applied to all commercially available iMG kinematic signals with adequate sample rates to enable field-based inter-study comparisons.

description: Achieving high-fidelity entangling operations between qubits consistently is essential for the performance of multi-qubit systems and is a crucial factor in achieving fault-tolerant quantum processors. Solid-state platforms are particularly exposed to errors due to materials-induced variability between qubits, which leads to performance inconsistencies. Here we study the errors in a spin qubit processor, tying them to their physical origins. We leverage this knowledge to demonstrate consistent and repeatable operation with above 99% fidelity of two-qubit gates in the technologically important silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (SiMOS) quantum dot platform. We undertake a detailed study of these operations by analysing the physical errors and fidelities in multiple devices through numerous trials and extended periods to ensure that we capture the variation and the most common error types. Physical error sources include the slow nuclear and electrical noise on single qubits and contextual noise. The identification of the noise sources can be used to maintain performance within tolerance as well as inform future device fabrication. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of qubit design, feedback systems, and robust gates on implementing scalable, high-fidelity control strategies. These results are achieved by using three different characterization methods, we measure entangling gate fidelities ranging from 96.8% to 99.8%. Our analysis tools identify the causes of qubit degradation and offer ways understand their physical mechanisms. These results highlight both the capabilities and challenges for the scaling up of silicon spin-based qubits into full-scale quantum processors.

description: We present here an inertial active spinning swarm consisting of mixtures of opposite handedness torque driven spinners floating on an air bed with low damping. Depending on the relative spin sign, spinners can act as their own anti-particles and annihilate their spins. Rotational energy can become highly focused, with minority fraction spinners pumped to very high levels of spin angular momentum. Spinner handedness also matters at high spinner densities but not low densities: oscillations in the mixing spatial entropy of spinners over time emerge if there is a net spin imbalance from collective rotations. Geometrically confined spinners can lock themselves into frustrated spin states.

description: Conducting precise electronic-vibrational dynamics simulations of molecular systems poses significant challenges when dealing with realistic environments composed of numerous vibrational modes. Here, we introduce a technique for the construction of effective phonon spectral densities that capture accurately open system dynamics over a finite time interval of interest. When combined with existing non-perturbative simulation tools, our approach can reduce significantly the computational costs associated with many-body open system dynamics.

description: Programming languages are incredibly versatile, enabling developers to create applications and programs that suit their individual requirements. This article introduces a new language called Cesno, designed from the ground up to offer an advanced, user-friendly, and easy-to-use programming environment. Cesno's syntax is similar to other popular languages, making it simple to learn and work with. It incorporates features from other languages, such as syntactic sugar, a built-in library, support for functional programming, object-oriented program-ming, dynamic typing, a type system, and a variety of function parameters and restrictions. This article will explore the design of Cesno's grammar, provide a brief overview of how Cesno processes and compiles code, and provide exam-ples of what Cesno's code looks like and how it can aid in development.

description: This paper presents a novel Diffusion-Wavelet (DiWa) approach for Single-Image Super-Resolution (SISR). It leverages the strengths of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) and Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT). By enabling DDPMs to operate in the DWT domain, our DDPM models effectively hallucinate high-frequency information for super-resolved images on the wavelet spectrum, resulting in high-quality and detailed reconstructions in image space. Quantitatively, we outperform state-of-the-art diffusion-based SISR methods, namely SR3 and SRDiff, regarding PSNR, SSIM, and LPIPS on both face (8x scaling) and general (4x scaling) SR benchmarks. Meanwhile, using DWT enabled us to use fewer parameters than the compared models: 92M parameters instead of 550M compared to SR3 and 9.3M instead of 12M compared to SRDiff. Additionally, our method outperforms other state-of-the-art generative methods on classical general SR datasets while saving inference time. Finally, our work highlights its potential for various applications.
Design and analysis of an underwater leaky wave antenna

description: Acoustic imaging in water traditionally relies on phased arrays of active electro-acoustic transducers to steer acoustic energy in specific directions. Prevalent in ships, submarines, and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), phased arrays are high in weight and processing power. One potential alternative approach to steer acoustic beams is to use a single transducer attached to a dispersive antenna that radiates or receives acoustic energy from different directions as the frequency of operation changes. This is known as a leaky wave antenna (LWA). While LWAs have been proven effective in beam steering for electromagnetic and air-borne acoustic waves, the design of an analog device in water presents a unique challenge due to the low contrast in acoustic impedance between elastic solids and water, which necessitates the consideration of fluid-elastic coupling in the design of the elastic LWA. This work presents an approach to design an elastic metamaterial waveguide coupled to an external fluid domain as one means to create an acoustic LWA for underwater operation.

ABSTRACT

Balochistan has been experiencing ‘radical’ politics since the 1960s. With the interview, it has been noted that ‘radical’ politics in Balochistan represents a legitimate struggle against decades of systemic oppression, exploitation, and cultural erasure by the Pakistani state in Balochistan. The Baloch nation have endured relentless marginalization, exploitation and occupation. They live in [a] stark situation. The state’s harsh policies and disregard for the Baloch nation–have fueled ‘radical’ political individuals and movements that demand justice, autonomy, and self-determination. For many Baloch, ‘radical’ politics is not just [a] choice but [a…] necessary response to reclaim their rightful place and control over their land, life, and dignity. The rise of radical politics in Balochistan is also a powerful statement against […] the persistent genocidal acts perpetrated by the state. The Baloch have faced severe military crackdowns: forced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and other forms of state-sponsored violence aimed at suppressing them and their resistance. In this context, radical politics is seen as an essential approach against colonial–domination and [a] fight for the survival of Baloch’s identity, culture, and history. They are resisting the genocide.

description: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have been rapidly improving over the last decade with the implementation of more automated features. This will lead to the development of fully autonomous vehicles (AVs) and their deployment into the traffic stream. Although the idea of self-driving cars in society is inevitable, there is much more research that needs to be done before that becomes a reality. Therefore, a transition phase will first occur in which traffic will consist of a mixed configuration of various automated and human-driven vehicles. This will undoubtedly result in consequences as the different levels of AVs and human drivers interact in various roadway environments and distinct traffic characteristics. For that reason, it is imperative to research the full capabilities of all levels of automation and understand their limitations based on the diverse set of roadway environments and various driving scenarios that will be encountered. In this thesis, an attempt was made to begin understanding the capabilities and limitations of AVs in mixed traffic. Given the multitude of environments and scenarios, prioritization was given to a situation that would be common for Texas roadways. Therefore, this thesis develops a driving simulation environment to understand the performance of AVs with respect to traffic safety and efficiency in Texas rural highways and urban roads during a forced lane drop scenario and a merging vehicle maneuver. This prioritization was used to begin establishing the operational design domains (OODs) of AVs, which will be crucial in mitigating the risk that will arise during the interactions of different levels of AVs and humans. Preliminary results from Driver-In-the-Loop (DIL) experiments seem to suggest that increasing the level of automation might have some benefits for traffic as a whole but that lower-level AVs might led to some dangerous situations for human drivers. More human participants will be needed to verify these results but overall, this thesis managed to develop a feasible simulation framework that can be used for future human subject studies.
