description: The content we ingest, whether by way of information, communication, or entertainment, is increasingly digital content, appearing as digital media and requiring the mediation of digital devices. The on-going emergence of new digital media and devices is anticipated, making the stability of their organization uncertain, unless we can devise a faceted approach capable of accommodating future developments. The paper presents a complex and hospitable facet analysis for digital media based on the functions of generation, representation, distribution, and use. For digital devices, a simpler facet analysis emerges, with a primary split between general-purpose devices and task-specific devices; the latter set of devices classes with the task. The Dewey Decimal Classification system is used throughout as a case study.

description: This article studies the Stochastic Degasperis-Procesi (SDP) equation on $\mathbb{R}$ with an additive noise. Applying the kinetic theory, and considering the initial conditions in $L^2(\mathbb{R})\cap L^{2+δ}(\mathbb{R})$, for arbitrary small $δ>0$, we establish the existence of a global pathwise solution. Restricting to the particular case of zero noise, our result improves the deterministic solvability results that exist in the literature.

description: This study presents a methodology for utilizing TAPOR, a natural language processing tool, to perform preliminary analysis on interview transcripts. In order to test the framework we utilized data from a previous study involving ethnographic interviewing techniques. The case study is comprised of 20 transcripts from interviews conducted with scholars at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.   Findings suggest that utilizing a textual analysis tool as a preliminary method of transcript analysis could be valuable in reducing the amount of staff time spent analyzing interview transcripts prior to having data that indicate transcripts contain valuable information that is relevant to the scope of research interests. Adopting this methodology as a part of the transcript analysis process could provide valuable information to researchers earlier in the research process by identifying key thematic areas of interest prior to engaging in extended qualitative analysis coding sessions.

Corporate recordkeeping: the evidence-base for sustainability reporting by multinational enterprises
Creators: name: Deserno, Jozefina Hubertina Wilhelmina Johanna (Ineke)

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In an ever-changing business environment and emerging information age, multinational enterprises around the world are subject to greater public scrutiny by those impacted by their activities. Disclosure of information on the impact of corporate activities on the society, the economy and the environment in which companies operate is and indispensable element of corporate social transparency and good governance. To respond to requests for information multinational enterprises publish sustainability reports. But critics contend that these reports are created for public relations purposes and lack credibility and quality information. Other criticisms are that the information reported does not provide tangible evidence of corporate impact. Records are evidence of corporate activities and decisions, and thus recordkeeping principles and programmes would logically be a critical element in corporate social transparency and sustainability reporting activities. It is precisely the nexus between recordkeeping and corporate social transparency that is the theme of this PhD study. This research examines the relevance of recordkeeping for the reporting by multinational enterprises of information on their corporate activities and decisions that impact the societies, and the environments in which companies operate. The central question of this research explores how records as evidence of business transactions might better serve sustainability reporting and auditing purposes. Furthermore, the research explores the idea that good corporate recordkeeping should be a means to quality sustainability reports, as without it there is not a reliable evidence-base for reporting, and thus no accurate and reliable reports. The underlying theoretical assumption of this research follows the interpretivist approach. Interpretivist research aims “to describe and understand phenomena in the social world and their meaning in context” (Cecez-Kecmanovic & Kennan, 2013, p, 123). By applying a variety of research methods and techniques the study aims to collect and analyse as much evidence about corporate recordkeeping and sustainability reporting from different perspectives as possible to enable understanding of their relationship. The findings in this study provide extensive insights into the sustainability reporting process by multinational enterprises and how corporate recordkeeping could better support this activity. However, this study also found that currently the nexus between sustainability reporting and corporate recordkeeping does not exist in multinational enterprises and thus the findings of this research have significant implications for the stakeholders, including the recordkeeping, reporting and auditing communities, and the wider society.

description: This work explores the role of small-scale environment (< 1 Mpc) in modulating accretion events onto supermassive black holes by studying the incidence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in massive clusters of galaxies. A flexible, data-driven semi-empirical model is developed based on a minimal set of parameters and under the zero order assumption that the incidence of AGN in galaxies is independent of environment. This is used to predict how the fraction of X-ray selected AGN among galaxies in massive dark matter halos (\(\gtrsim 3 \times 10^{14}\,\rm{M}_{\odot}\) ) evolves with redshift and reveal tensions with observations. At high redshift, \(z\sim1.2\), the model underpredicts AGN fractions, particularly at high X-ray luminosities, \(L_X(\rm 2-10\,keV) \gtrsim 10^{44}\, erg \, s^{-1}\). At low redshift, \(z\sim0.2\), the model estimates fractions of moderate luminosity AGN (\(L_X(\rm 2-10\,keV) \gtrsim 10^{43}\, erg \, s^{-1}\)) that are a factor of 2-3 higher than the observations. These findings reject the zero order assumption on which the semi-empirical model hinges and point to a strong and redshift-dependent influence of the small-scale environment on the growth of black holes. Cluster of galaxies appear to promote AGN activity relative to the model expectation at \(z\sim1.2\) and suppress it close to the present day. These trends could be explained by the increasing gas content of galaxies toward higher redshift combined with an efficient triggering of AGN at earlier times in galaxies that fall onto clusters.

description: This study describes an online questionnaire survey of young adult librarians at school and public libraries regarding their literacy engagement with adolescent male users. The purpose of this study was to address the question of what librarians know about best practices in boy-focused literacy strategies and to what extent they are employing them in their libraries.  The majority of young adult librarians are aware of reading problems associated with adolescent males but are not always applying this knowledge in the consistent use of boy-focused literacy strategies. Professional development appears to have a significant effect on the frequency with which young adult librarians reported employing targeted reading strategies. Successful experiences revolved around games, creative activities, personal interaction and choice. Areas identified as needing improvement included focusing on boys interests, providing opportunities for social interaction and hosting teen book discussion groups.

description: In this work, a physical system described by Hamiltonian $\mathbf{H}_ω= \mathbf{H}_0 + \mathbf{V}_ω(\mathbf{x},t)$ consisted of a solvable model $\mathbf{H}$ and external random and time-dependent potential $\mathbf{V}_ω(\mathbf{x},t)$ is investigated. Under the conditions that the average external potential with respect to the configuration $ω$ is constant in time, and, for each configuration, the potential changes smoothly that the evolution of the system follows Schrödinger dynamics, the mean-dynamics can be derived from taking average of the equation with respect to configuration parameter $ω$. It provides extra contributions from the deviations of the Hamiltonian and evolved state along the time to the Heisenberg and Liouville-von Neumann equations. Consequently, the Kubo's formula and the fluctuation-dissipation relation obtained from the construction is modified in the sense that the contribution from the information of randomness and memory effect from time-dependence are present.

description: Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is one of the primary grain legumes utilized in dry zone of Sri Lanka. The production of cowpea plant stand and yield are significantly impacted by root infections caused by soil-borne pathogenic fungi. Experiments were conducted at the Agricultural Biology Laboratory and the crop farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Eastern University, Sri Lanka, to evaluate the integration of fungicides and crop cultivars in managing cowpea root rot caused by Fusarium solani. Four different cultivars of cowpea and three different fungicides were used for this study. The experiment was laid out in factorial andomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Conidial suspension (105 conidia/mL) of F. solani was introduced to the four different cultivars of cowpea as a soil drench. The fungicides were applied after the inoculation to evaluate the interaction effects between cultivars and fungicides to control Fusarium root rot. Results based on rot lesions developed on taproot revealed that, in general, the interaction effect of each cultivar with homai or topsin fungicide showed significantly (P<0.05) lower disease severity. Furthermore, Wijaya cultivar exhibited minimum disease severity with maximum grain yield among the cultivars tested, whereas topsin fungicide showed a significant reduction in disease severity. Therefore, the present study suggested Wijaya as the relatively resistant cultivar to Fusarium root rot and topsin as an effective fungicide for controlling this disease in cowpea in Batticaloa district, Sri Lanka.

Exploring relational features and learning under distant supervision for information extraction tasks.

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Information Extraction (IE) has become an indispensable tool in our quest to handle the data deluge of the information age. IE can broadly be decomposed into Named-entity Recognition (NER) and Relation Extraction (RE). In this thesis, we view the task of IE as finding patterns in unstructured data, which can either take the form of features and/or be specified by constraints. In NER, we study the categorization of complex relational features and outline methods to learn feature combinations though induction. We demonstrate the efficacy of induction techniques in learning : i) rules for the identification of named entities in text — the novelty is the application of induction techniques to learn in a very expressive declarative rule language ii) a richer sequence labeling model — enabling optimal learning of discriminative features. In RE, our investigations are in the paradigm of distant supervision, which facilitates the creation of large, albeit noisy training data. We devise an inference framework in which constraints can be easily specified in learning relation extractors. In addition, we reformulate the learning objective in a max-margin framework. To the best of our knowledge, our formulation is the first to optimize multi-variate non-linear performance measures such as Fβ for a latent variable structure prediction task.

description: Video Games as an entertainment genre have been around for about thirty five years. The first thirty were dominated by relatively simple control devices - joysticks and D-Pads, as well as sporadic use of light guns and foot pad technology. We are entering an era where control will move beyond these simple implementations. Rather than being bound to the fingers and feet, full body movement is becoming ever more prevalent. While the aforementioned use of the fingers and feet isn't likely to fade out completely, the ways in which they manipulate the controllers will. Instead of dance pads alone, we will have pedals; instead of games being designed to fit the controllers, the controllers will be designed to fit the games, as we see in titles such as Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution. New technologies and styles of gaming are drawing more and more people to the hobby. The question remains, then: what impact will this new degree of interaction have on the finer aspects of gaming, such as system usability, market trends, and user well being, in both the short and long term?  This paper seeks to examine the impact of motion-based control systems on the video game industry. We discuss the issues of usability, marketability, health and well-being. In addition, a pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the correlation between motion-based control systems and user fatigue. Motion capture data from a small number of participants was gathered while they play a title for the Nintendo Wii. Pre- and Post-Test questionnaires were administered, and the data was compiled and examined.

description: Literature in the archives field has explored various facets of the preservation of value during the digitization process, but has not yet fully addressed the sacrifice of intrinsic value when an item is digitized. Little is known about the opinions of practicing archivists regarding intrinsic value's place in digitization and in preservation reformatting using digital formats. To explore these opinions, semi-structured interviews were conducted with practicing archivists and librarians. Responses were analyzed to assess how these professionals understand intrinsic value as it relates to items that could potentially be digitized. The responses indicate variability in definitions of intrinsic value and reluctance to rely on digital formats for preservation. These results will help archivists develop a more explicit understanding of the value components of analog items that should be preserved in digital preservation surrogates, and could generate discussion about the relevancy of intrinsic value to current preservation and digitization practices.

We investigate if a functional relation between $α_1$ and $α_2$ gauge couplings can be realized which is Renormalization Group Invariant (RGI). Following the same procedure for the top and bottom Yukawa couplings we end up with a prediction of a narrow window for tan$β$, which is one of the basic parameters that determine the light Higgs mass.

We also analytically compute the first 7 nontrivial orders of the weak coupling expansion. Moreover, we study analytically the generalized quark--anti-quark potential in the limit of large imaginary twist to all orders in perturbation theory. We demonstrate how the QSC reduces in this case to a one-dimensional Schrodinger equation. In the process we establish a link between the Q-functions and the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation.

description: This paper is an analysis of the types of questions that were asked through the chat reference services at Duke University, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and North Carolina State University during the month of November 2002. The questions were categorized and were examined to see if there were any trends that could be observed and if it would be feasible to create a consortium to answer chat questions for all three schools. A major result of this research showed that most of the questions that were asked could be answered using the resources found in any of the libraries. The categories that were created to organize the questions could be used at all of the universities equally well.

description: The fast-paced environment of army operations brings a great deal of responsibilities to the Tactical Operations Center (TOC).  A critical component required to carry out these responsibilities is situational awareness, which includes knowledge about military units, the enemy, and battlefield environment.  It is important to understand the practices with which leaders can develop and maintain their own situational awareness as well as that of their group members.                                                                                    This study describes a situational awareness analysis, using video analysis of an active Army combat unit engaging in a combat simulation exercise and interviews with former small group leaders.  Analysis of eight out of seventeen hours of simulated combat in an artillery TOC and interviews with seven small group leaders produced several best practices which leaders may use to develop and maintain their small group situational awareness, their situational awareness beyond their small group, and the situational awareness of their group members.

Scholarly communication

description: In an attempt to identify motivating factors involved in decisions to publish in Open Access (OA) journals, individual interviews with biomedical faculty members at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a major research university, were conducted. The interviews focused on faculty identified as early adopters of OA/free full-text publishing. Searches conducted in PubMed and PubMed Central identified faculty from UNC-Chapel Hill who have published works in OA/free full-text journals. The searches targeted authors with multiple OA citations during a specified 18 month period. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the most prolific OA authors. Individual interviews attempted to determine whether the authors were aware they published in OA journals, why they chose to publish in OA journals, what factors influenced their publishing decisions, and their general attitude towards OA publishing models. Interview questions were based on a review of the literature and consultation with a scholarly communication working group. The interview results were analyzed to see whether these faculty members made conscious efforts to publish in OA/free full-text journals, and if so why.

description: Split Learning has been recently introduced to facilitate applications where user data privacy is a requirement. However, it has not been thoroughly studied in the context of Privacy-Preserving Record Linkage, a problem in which the same real-world entity should be identified among databases from different dataholders, but without disclosing any additional information. In this paper, we investigate the potentials of Split Learning for Privacy-Preserving Record Matching, by introducing a novel training method through the utilization of Reference Sets, which are publicly available data corpora, showcasing minimal matching impact against a traditional centralized SVM-based technique.

description: The relentless expansion of deep learning applications in recent years has prompted a pivotal shift toward on-device execution, driven by the urgent need for real-time processing, heightened privacy concerns, and reduced latency across diverse domains. This article addresses the challenges inherent in optimising the execution of deep neural networks (DNNs) on mobile devices, with a focus on device heterogeneity, multi-DNN execution, and dynamic runtime adaptation. We introduce CARIn, a novel framework designed for the optimised deployment of both single- and multi-DNN applications under user-defined service-level objectives. Leveraging an expressive multi-objective optimisation framework and a runtime-aware sorting and search algorithm (RASS) as the MOO solver, CARIn facilitates efficient adaptation to dynamic conditions while addressing resource contention issues associated with multi-DNN execution. Notably, RASS generates a set of configurations, anticipating subsequent runtime adaptation, ensuring rapid, low-overhead adjustments in response to environmental fluctuations. Extensive evaluation across diverse tasks, including text classification, scene recognition, and face analysis, showcases the versatility of CARIn across various model architectures, such as Convolutional Neural Networks and Transformers, and realistic use cases. We observe a substantial enhancement in the fair treatment of the problem's objectives, reaching 1.92x when compared to single-model designs and up to 10.69x in contrast to the state-of-the-art OODIn framework. Additionally, we achieve a significant gain of up to 4.06x over hardware-unaware designs in multi-DNN applications. Finally, our framework sustains its performance while effectively eliminating the time overhead associated with identifying the optimal design in response to environmental challenges.

description: This master's paper describes an exploratory study of Association of Research Libraries member institution websites intended to detect references to Patron Initiated Collection Development (PICD) programs. This study was conducted in order to measure the prevalence of such references, to determine the types of documentation in which they occurred, and to determine the extent to which these references represent an attempt to represent PICD programs to the user.  References to PICD programs were discovered on 46 of the 124 ARL institution websites surveyed. These references varied greatly in content and specificity. Less than half of these were determined to be directed at an audience of users; an even smaller proportion of these references were intended to facilitate the submission of PICD requests. This data suggests that ARL institutions rarely cultivate user awareness of PICD programs via their websites.
Cosmological constraints on superconducting dark energy models

description: We consider cosmological tests of a scalar-vector-tensor gravitational model, in which the dark energy is included in the total action through a gauge invariant, electromagnetic type contribution. The ground state of dark energy, corresponding to a constant potential $V$ is a Bose-Einstein type condensate with spontaneously broken U(1) symmetry. In another words dark energy appears as a massive vector field emerging from a superposition of a massless vector and a scalar field, the latter corresponding to the Goldstone boson. Two particular cosmological models, corresponding to pure electric and pure magnetic type potentials, respectively are confronted with Type IA Supernovae and Hubble parameter data. In the electric case good fit is obtained along a narrow inclined stripe in the $Ω_{m}-Ω_{V}\,$ parameter plane, which includes the $Λ$CDM limit as the best fit. The other points on this admissible region represent superconducting dark energy as a sum of a cosmological constant and a time-evolving contribution. In the magnetic case the cosmological test selects either i) parameter ranges of the superconducting dark energy allowing for the standard baryonic plus dark matter or ii) a unified superconducting dark matter and dark energy model, additionally including only the baryonic sector.

description: Knowledge is a common and universal intellectual good where each individual work is a contribution to the collective knowledge of humanity. Founding a median discipline that offers new perspectives to both of science and theology involves the construction of a theoretical framework and its own methodology. The intellectual progress consists in extracting the key to science with the scientific method by translating the idiom of the Book through physical phenomena corresponding sufficiently so that the application of their laws describes and models the object of study with relevance. The production of the physical model resulting from this process marks the development of a new scientific theory based on manuscripts and the history of the Book as empirical evidence.
