The Price of Garbage: an analysis of the effect of user-pay programs on waste diversion in Ontario municipalities
Creators: name: Chiasson, Christina
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: As the province of Ontario moves towards its goal of becoming waste free, there remains a substantial uphill battle to curb waste away from landfill and towards more sustainable end-of-life management facilities such as recycling, reusing, and composting plants. Diverting disposed materials into recovery facilities will help Ontario develop its circular economy and will relieve ever increasing pressures on local landfills. This study analyses the direct effect that waste policies have on residential waste diversion rates, with particular investigation into unit-based pricing mechanisms commonly known as user-pay or pay-as-you-throw programs. This study is intended to help policymakers decide which policies are most effective at increasing waste separation, and although the main focus is on user-pay schemes, bag limits, frequency of curbside recycling collection, curbside organic/leaf and yard waste collection and the level of promotion and education funding are also investigated for their effects on diversion rates in Ontario. This study uses the extensive database of information of Ontario municipalities’ waste programs provided by the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority, and performs a series of simple and multiple linear regressions to determine the relationships between each waste policy and diversion rates. Between 216-243 municipalities were considered over a nine-year period from 2008-2016. The results of the study indicate a significant relationship between user-pay schemes and increased diversion, and also indicate that the policies may be more effective in urban communities than in rural ones.
Performance Effects of Measurement and Analysis: Perspectives from CMMI High Maturity Organizations and Appraisers

description: This report describes results from two recent surveys conducted by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to collect information about the measurement and analysis activities of software systems development organizations. Representatives of organizations appraised at maturity levels 4 and 5 completed the survey in 2008. Using a variant of the same questionnaire in 2009, certified high maturity lead appraisers described the organizations that they had most recently coached or appraised for the achievement of similar high maturity levels. The replies to both surveys were generally consistent even though the two groups are often thought to be quite different. The results of the surveys suggest that the organizations understood and used CMMI-based process performance modeling and related aspects of measurement and analysis a great deal. Both the organizational respondents in 2008 and the appraisers in 2009 reported that process performance models were useful for the organizations. The respondents in both surveys also judged process performance modeling to be more valuable in organizations that understood and used measurement and analysis activities more frequently and provided organizational resources and management support. In addition, results from the 2009 survey of lead appraisers indicate that organizations that achieved their appraised high maturity level goals also found measurement and analysis activities more useful than those organizations that did not achieve their targets.

description: The performance of programs prepared with the Verdix ADA Development System (VADS) was measured and analyzed for programmers preparing a large ADA system. Using standard ADA benchmark suites (ACEC, AES and PIWG) and a representative Motorola 68030 target system as a source of data, questions were posed and answered about programming alternatives, based on the measured performance of the compiler. The questions included in the report were extracted from a much larger set selected from an analysis of the BSY-2 Style Guide and augmented with additional questions suggested by SEI experience. The derivation of the questions and the template for the performance analysis sections are presented as appendices.

description: The Patient Activation Measure (PAM®) survey is a validated tool used to assess a patient’s level of engagement. It uses a 4-point Likert scale to assess patient activation levels. The objectives of this study were to 1) establish a baseline measure of activation using the PAM® amongst people living with HIV to help inform future self-management frameworks, and 2) compare PAM® scores between people living with HIV and with diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is a chronic disease for which self-management been extensively studied and reported on in the literature, and will provide a strong basis for comparison. To our knowledge, this is the first study comparing PAM® survey scores across chronic conditions.

description: Este capítulo tiene un doble propósito. Primero, busca mostrar que la preocupación ciudadana sobre la corrupción incentiva el uso de mecanismos no tradicionales de participación, particularmente la protesta social. Para esto se hace una revisión de la literatura internacional sobre el tema y se muestra evidencia para el caso colombiano. Segundo, el capítulo realiza un diagnóstico crítico de los avances del Gobierno Nacional en el tema puntual del pliego de demandas ciudadanas de 2019 relacionado con el trámite de ciertos proyectos de ley anticorrupción. A partir de este análisis se dan algunas recomendaciones, dentro de las cuales la más importante es que si bien el texto del pliego de las demandas ciudadanas enfatizaba el “trámite de proyectos de ley”, la experiencia del país muestra que ya existe un exceso de normas en materia de corrupción y se necesita más bien desplegar mecanismos para su cumplimiento.
description: This chapter has two goals. First, it seeks to show that citizen’s concern about corruption encourages the use of non-traditional participation mechanisms, particularly social protest. I illustrate this point through a review of international literature on the subject and an analysis of some evidence for the Colombian case. Second, the chapter makes a critical balance of the national government's progress on the specific aspect of the processing of anti-corruption bills, which was part of the 2019 list of citizen’s demands. Based on this analysis, the chapter makes some policy recommendations, the most important of which is that, although the text of the list of citizen demands emphasized the "processing of bills", the country's experience shows that there is already an excess of laws related to anti-corruption and that, rather than creating more laws, it is necessary to apply the existing ones.

description: Oscillator networks with an asymmetric bipolar distribution of natural frequencies are useful representations of power grids. We propose a mean-field model that captures the onset, form and linear stability of frequency synchronization in such oscillator networks. The model takes into account a broad class of heterogeneous connection structures and identifies a functional form as well as basic properties that synchronized regimes possess classwide. The framework also captures synchronized regimes with large phase differences that commonly appear just above the critical threshold. Additionally, the accuracy of mean-field assumptions can be gauged internally through two model quantities. With our framework, the impact of local grid structure on frequency synchronization can be systematically explored.

description: Identity management (IdM) solutions in web services environments are often compared on the levels of performance and security they provide. Selecting the appropriate IdM solution for a given system or application often requires making tradeoffs between security and performance, while also considering the system's contextual and environmental requirements and constraints. This paper presents the results of a series of experiments targeted at analyzing the performance impact of adding WS-Security, a common security standard used in IdM frameworks, to SOAP-based web services. The goal of this work is to establish a baseline of performance data that can be used to explore performance/security tradeoffs in environments with complex attributes, such as resource or bandwidth limitations.

description: We present the analysis of the brightest flare that was recorded in the \emph{Insight}-HMXT data set, in a broad energy range (2$-$200 keV) from the microquasar GRS~1915+105 during an unusual low-luminosity state. This flare was detected by \emph{Insight}-HXMT among a series of flares during 2 June 2019 UTC 16:37:06 to 20:11:36, with a 2-200 keV luminosity of 3.4$-$7.27$\times10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Basing on the broad-band spectral analysis, we find that the flare spectrum shows different behaviors during bright and faint epochs. The spectrum of the flare can be fitted with a model dominated by a power-law component. Additional components show up in the bright epoch with a hard tail and in the faint epoch with an absorption line $\sim$ 6.78 keV. The reflection component of the latter is consistent with an inner disk radius $\sim$ 5 times larger than that of the former. These results on the giant flare during the "unusual" low-luminosity state of GRS~1915+105 may suggest that the source experiences a possible fast transition from a jet-dominated state to a wind-dominated state. We speculate that the evolving accretion disk and the large-scale magnetic field may play important roles in this peculiar huge flare.
Effects of Thai healthcare policy on household demand, hospital efficiency and household earnings

Subjects: Medical policy -- Economic aspects -- Thailand

description: This dissertation evaluates how healthcare and the health insurance policy in Thailand affect both supply and demand sides. This research applies different econometrics methods such as a nonparametric boostrapping Data Envelopment Analysis method, a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand (QUAIDS) model, a random-effect Tobit regression, etc. The first chapter investigates the short-term impact of the new national health insurance program or Universal Coverage (UC) in Thailand on technical efficiency in provincial public hospitals. By measuring efficiency before and after the reform, the study applies a two-stage analysis with bootstrapping Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a censored Tobit model. The results indicated that UC improved efficiency in larger public hospitals across the country. The effect differed by region around the country, and hospitals in provinces with more wealth not only started with greater efficiency, but improved their relative position after UC was implemented.; The second chapter investigates the effects of health status and healthcare utilization on agricultural household earnings in Thailand. A utility-maximization production model in which health status and education affect household resource allocation is formulated. Using the Box-Cox transformation, the 2SLS and OLS estimations are applied. A key finding indicated that education appeared to increase farm household income, while the effect from health was unclear. However, the disaggregated analysis showed that health may be a determinant to income for rice farming household in which farm income appeared to increase by 0.3% with a 10% increase in health investment.; The third chapter explores how national health insurance affects the allocation of household expenditures on consumption goods (i.e., housing, food, etc.) changed by comparing expenditure patterns before and after the health insurance reform. A Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model developed by Banks, Blundell, and Lewbel (1997) is used incorporating with a two-step approach introduced by Shonkwiler and Yen (1999). The programming was done on GAUSS 7.0 in order to solve the nonlinear least squares problems applying the Gauss-Newton optimization algorithm.
Relationships Matter: Persistent Armed Conflict – A Case of Negotiated Authority and Survival
Creators: name: Bright, Richard A.
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: Many of the armed conflicts that have taken place over the past 25 years have been explained as a means by which greedy rebels and elites profit from natural resource rents. Accordingly, much of the research conducted in the field of armed conflict persistence points to greed, as both a cause and effect of this persistence. This has led to the development of generalized policy solutions that fail to consider how various actors are affected by, and how they respond to, the presence of armed conflict. Moreover, few scholars have considered how interconnected economic and political networks contribute to, and sustain, armed conflict. Consequently, this research illustrates how embedded socio-economic relations between civilians, armed groups, and the state, contributes to armed conflict persistence. This paper demonstrates how through daily relationships with armed groups and the state’s military forces; civilians are engaged in struggles for public authority, survival and security. This ultimately shapes and reinforces existing socio-economic networks, which are in many respects intrinsically linked to violence. To illustrate this concept, this paper utilizes the armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, specifically the Kivu provinces.

description: Model interchange approaches support the analysis of software architecture and design by enabling a variety of tools to automatically exchange performance models using a common schema. This paper builds on one of those interchange formats, the Software Performance Model Interchange Format (S-PMIF), and extends it to support the performance analysis of real-time systems. Specifically, it addresses real-time system designs expressed in the Construction and Composition Language (CCL) and their transformation into the S-PMIF for additional performance analyses. This paper defines extensions and changes to the S-PMIF meta-model and schema required for real-time systems. It describes transformations for both simple, best-case models and more detailed models of concurrency and synchronization. A case study demonstrates the techniques and compares performance results from several analyses.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: It has been speculated in the literature that the effective actions of string theories at any order of $α'$ should be invariant under the Buscher rules plus their higher covariant derivative corrections. This may be used as a constraint to find effective actions at any order of $α'$, in particular, the metric, the B-field and the dilaton couplings in supergravities at order $α'^3$ up to an overall factor. For the simple case of zero B-field and diagonal metric in which we have done the calculations explicitly, we have found that the constraint fixes almost all the seven independent Riemann curvature couplings. There is only one term which is not fixed, because when metric is diagonal, the reduction of two $R^4$ terms become identical. The Riemann curvature couplings that the T-duality constraint produces for both type II and Heterotic theories are fully consistent with the existing couplings in the literature which have been found by the S-matrix and by the sigma-model approaches.

Subjects: Regional economic disparities -- Environmental aspects

description: Ecological unequal exchange refers to the inequalities enacted through international trade wherein economically dominant export partners appropriate value embodied in natural resource assets. Countries advantageously situated within the global economy secure favorable terms of trade promoting disproportionate access to global natural resources and sink-capacity services of ecological systems. This facilitates the externalization of the negative environmental consequences of domestic production and consumption onto less developed countries. The present study empirically evaluates three dimensions underlying ecological unequal exchange: 1) Environmental cost-shifting or externalization of the negative consequences of material consumption; 2) Disproportionate cross-national utilization of global environmental space or available sink-capacity and biologically productive area; and, 3) Underdevelopment as a consequence of the reliance upon and undervaluation of natural resource exports. This study examines the differential impacts of international trade through utilization of slope dummy interaction terms within a series of ordinary least squares regression models. The sample consists of 148 countries at all levels of development.; Results illustrate low and lower middle-income countries with a greater proportion of exports to the core industrialized countries exhibit lower consumption of environmental resources. This suggests the structure of international trade supports the disproportionate per capita material consumption of industrialized countries concurrent with the under-consumption of the poorest countries in the world. Further, low income countries with a greater proportion of non-fuel natural resource exports demonstrate lower levels of social development. When fuels are included in the calculation low, lower middle, and upper middle-income countries with a greater proportion of natural resource exports are characterized by lower social wellbeing. Analysis reveals low-income countries with a greater proportion of natural resource exports demonstrate higher rates of deforestation, 1990-2000. In addition, low income and upper middle-income countries with a greater proportion of exports to the core exhibit higher deforestation, providing evidence of environmental cost-shifting dynamics. The present study uncovers evidence of each of the three dimensions of ecological unequal exchange, suggesting structural relations underpinning capital accumulation on a global scale forge systemic patterns of ecological transformation. Cross-national ecological interdependencies contribute not only to processes of global environmental change but also the underdevelopment of peripheral countries.
A study of cognitive engagement in online learning dissertation

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Cognitive learning

description: This study investigates the degree to which students cognitively engage with their online courses in a Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) environment and is a replication of the Richardson and Newby (2006) study. Within a technology context, a Community of Inquiry is the framework for the study, and the general model of student learning is the theory tested using Biggs's (1987) Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ). Cognitive engagement is defined as the integration and utilization of students' motivations and strategies in the course of their learning (Guthrie, 1996). The majority of online courses are offered at the freshman and sophomore levels; therefore, this population is investigated. Since there is only one contemporary online study of cognitive engagement to date, this is an important avenue of future research.

The experiments were performed at the Cooler Synchrotron COSY in Jülich using a vector polarized, bunched $0.97\,\textrm{GeV/c}$ deuteron beam. Using the new spin feedback system, we set the initial phase difference between the solenoid field and the precession of the polarization vector to a predefined value. The feedback system was then switched off, allowing the phase difference to change over time, and the solenoid was switched on to rotate the polarization vector. We observed an oscillation of the vertical polarization component and the phase difference. The oscillations can be described using an analytical model. The results of this experiment also apply to other rf devices with horizontal magnetic fields, such as Wien filters. The precise manipulation of particle spins in storage rings is a prerequisite for measuring the electric dipole moment (EDM) of charged particles.
Au-delà de l’Arctique : L’adaptation des Forces armées canadiennes aux changements climatiques
Creators: name: Leblond, Maxime

description: Les changements climatiques s’accélèrent et s’intensifient, particulièrement au Canada où la température moyenne augmente deux fois plus rapidement que la moyenne mondiale. Alors que les Forces armées canadiennes (FAC) sont susceptibles d’être appelées à intervenir plus fréquemment lors de catastrophes naturelles ou dans le cadre d’interventions d’aide humanitaire liées aux changements climatiques, celles-ci pourraient elles-mêmes être affectées par les conséquences des changements climatiques. À l’aide d’une analyse de géographie militaire stratégique, ce mémoire veut évaluer les vulnérabilités des infrastructures militaires canadiennes considérant que le maintien de leur intégrité sera essentiel au maintien des capacités des FAC. Après avoir dressé les lacunes des principaux documents publics de la Défense nationale traitant des changements climatiques quant aux besoins d’adaptation des FAC et de leurs infrastructures, le présent mémoire dresse un éventail des principaux effets des changements climatiques susceptibles d’affecter les bases militaires du pays grâce à une modélisation cartographique. Plusieurs infrastructures, dont la base aérienne de Comox (C-B), sont ainsi susceptibles d’être affectées par les conséquences des changements climatiques, comme l’augmentation du niveau de la mer et du nombre de jours de chaleur intense. Enfin, le mémoire propose certaines recommandations pour le gouvernement du Canada et le ministère de la Défense nationale, tout en présentant certains des défis pouvant freiner la nécessaire adaptation des FAC.
The role of density stratification in generating zonal flow structures in a rotating fluid

description: Local generation of vorticity occurs in rotating density-stratified fluids as fluid parcels move radially, expanding or contracting with respect to the background density stratification. Thermal convection in rotating 2D equatorial simulations demonstrates this mechanism. The convergence of the vorticity into zonal flow structures as a function of radius depends on the shape of the density profile, with the prograde jet forming in the region of the disk where the greatest number of density scale heights occurs. The number of stable jets that form in the fluid increases with decreasing Ekman number and decreases with increasing thermal driving. This local form of vorticity generation via the density stratification is likely to be of great importance in bodies that are quickly rotating, highly turbulent, and have large density changes, such as Jovian planets. However, it is likely to be of lesser importance in the interiors of planets such as the Earth, which have smaller density stratifications and are less turbulent.

description: To describe quantal collective phenomena, it is useful to requantize the time-dependent mean-field dynamics. We study the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (TDHFB) theory for the two-level pairing Hamiltonian, and compare results of different quantization methods. The one constructing microscopic wave functions, using the TDHFB trajectories fulfilling the Einstein-Brillouin-Keller quantization condition, turns out to be the most accurate. The method is based on the stationary-phase approximation to the path integral. We also examine the performance of the collective model which assumes that the pairing gap parameter is the collective coordinate. The applicability of the collective model is limited for the nuclear pairing with a small number of single-particle levels, because the pairing gap parameter represents only a half of the pairing collective space.

description: Why are beneficial software engineering practices not being used effectively in the development of software systems? This question has intrigued researchers in software engineering for many years. Billions of dollars per year are spent, and a large proportion wasted, on building and maintaining software systems that are either never completed or, if completed, are of poor quality. This state of software development has led to the introduction of innovative tools and techniques to support the software development process. Initial evidence from use of these tools and techniques shows significant improvements in development productivity and software quality. However, many of these potentially beneficial tools and techniques have not been widely adopted or diffused. This research seeks to examine the reason for why this is so: What factors explain the successful diffusion of new software development techniques into practice?

description: We report our observation of the short GRB 170817A, associated to the binary neutron star merger event GW 170817, perfomed in the X-ray band with XMM-Newton 135 d after the event (on the 29th December 2017). We find evidence for a flattening of the X-ray light curve with respect to the previously observed brightening. This is also supported by a nearly simultaneous optical Hubble Space Telescope and successive X-ray Chandra and low-frequency radio observations recently reported in the literature. Since the optical-to-X-ray spectral slope did not change with respect to previous observations, we exclude that the change in the temporal evolution of the light curve is due to the passage of the cooling frequency: its origin must be geometric or dynamical. We interpret all the existing afterglow data with two models: i) a structured jet and ii) a jet-less isotropic fireball with some stratification in its radial velocity structure. Both models fit the data and predict that the radio flux must decrease simultaneously with the optical and the X-ray one, making hard to distinguish between them at the present stage. Polarimetric measures and the rate of short GRB-GW association in future LIGO/Virgo runs will be key to disentangle these two geometrically different scenarios.

description: This document provides a high-level overview of the People Capability Maturity Model (CMM)-Based Assessment Method. It introduces the People CMM as a source of guidelines for improving the capability and readiness of an organization's workforce in the context of the IDEAL approach to process improvement. In order to measure the capability and maturity of an organization's workforce practices, an appraisal method has been developed for the People CMM. This document describes the requirements and methods for the People CMM-Based Assessment Method. This method is a diagnostic tool that supports, enables, and encourages an organization's commitment to improving its ability to attract, develop, motivate, organize, and retain the talent needed to steadily improve its organizational capability. The method helps an organization gain insight into its workforce capability by identifying strengths and weaknesses of its current practices related to the People CMM. The method focuses on identifying improvements that are most beneficial, given an organization's business goals and current maturity level. Brief descriptions of the method activities, roles, and responsibilities are provided. The SEI Appraiser Program is discussed, detailing the requirements for persons qualified to lead People CMM-Based Assessments.

description: The People Capability Maturity Model (People CMM) can help organizations successfully address their critical human capital issues. The People CMM employs a process maturity framework as a foundation for best practices for managing and developing an organization's workforce. Based on the best current practices in fields such as human resources, knowledge management, and organizational development, the People CMM guides organizations in improving their processes for managing and developing their workforce. The People CMM helps organizations characterize the maturity of their human capital practices, establish a program of continuous workforce development, set priorities for improvement actions, integrate workforce development with process improvement, and establish a culture of excellence. Since the release of the Version 2 of the People CMM in 2001, use of the People CMM around the world has increased substantially by small and large organizations in many industries and market sectors. Based on continuing feedback and experience, this update of the People CMM has been prepared. This report documents an update to the People CMM, Version 2, which updates informative material within the People CMM and its subpractices and provides new information learned from the continuing global use of the People CMM.
