description: It is evident, and even trivial, that philosophy is always philosophy of life, since there is no philosophy without life; however, from its origin philosophy has placed itself outside life, aiming to go beyond life. Thanks to phenomenology, life comes to be the proper object of thought; life is considered in its dual meaning of living being and individual life, of being alive and of the experience of life. Renaud Barbaras is the thinker who has recently given a decisive contribution to this issue and has elaborated an extremely inspiring phenomenology of life.

The Girl Effect: A Neoliberal Instrumentalization of Gender Equality
Creators: name: Ging-Dwan Boyd, Ginger
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Over the past ten years, ‘The Girl Effect’–the discourse and practice of investing in third world girls’ education—has ascended to the top of the international development agenda as the ‘highest return investment strategy’ to end poverty. This paper interrogates the trend by investigating the genealogy of ‘The Girl Effect’ as The Nike Foundation’s flagship corporate social responsibility campaign and the theory of change it is based on. A literature analysis of The Nike Foundation’s most recent intervention projects—“The Girl Effect Accelerator” and ‘Girl Hub’ pilot projects in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Rwanda—will elucidate the underlying investment logic and serve as a representative sample of the broader emerging practice. While claiming to advance “gender equality” and “women’s empowerment”, I argue that The Girl Effect accomplishes the opposite by reinforcing gender inequity on both the micro and macro levels. Feminist grammars are instrumentalized as window dressing to exploit third world females as prospective (1) debtors in the expansion of credit markets, (2) exploits in the expansion of consumer markets, and (3) the ‘untapped resource’ for cheap labor. An epochal look at second wave feminism will show how ‘The Girl Effect Paradigm’ is a second wave of neoliberal exploitation—a parallel of its first female-led development era (1980s-1990s). This paper warns that as this phenomenon grows in hegemony it is insidiously displacing feminism as a political project and neutralizing the need for a truly transformational agenda. Without a counterbalance of vigilant public scrutiny and debate, we risk letting it crystallize Western- patriarchal-capitalism even more deeply in an unyielding global glass ceiling.

Kinematic Self-Similar Plane Symmetric Solutions

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: This paper is devoted to classify the most general plane symmetric spacetimes according to kinematic self-similar perfect fluid and dust solutions. We provide a classification of the kinematic self-similarity of the first, second, zeroth and infinite kinds with different equations of state, where the self-similar vector is not only tilted but also orthogonal and parallel to the fluid flow. This scheme of classification yields twenty four plane symmetric kinematic self-similar solutions. Some of these solutions turn out to be vacuum. These solutions can be matched with the already classified plane symmetric solutions under particular coordinate transformations. As a result, these reduce to sixteen independent plane symmetric kinematic self-similar solutions.

Subjects: Contemporary History; First World War; Colonialism; Norman Angell

description: The article explores Norman Angell’s ideas on the causes of war and the possibilities of keeping a lasting and peaceful settlement of Europe. It especially focuses on what Angell states in The Great Illusion, his most important book, written just five years before the First World War exploded. In that work, Angell explains that war between two states is harmful both for the looser and for the winner because it destroys their productive system and deeply compromises their integrated trade networks. Angell points out that it is urgent to spread this truth among European public opinions and among political leaders in order to avoid any destructive wars. The article discusses these ideas showing their coherence with a longstanding English liberal tradition, as well as highlighting their opposition to the socialist theories according to which capitalism is the cause of war.

Characterization and Efficient Monte Carlo Sampling of Disordered Microphases

description: The disordered microphases that develop in the high-temperature phase of systems with competing short-range attractive and long-range repulsive (SALR) interactions result in a rich array of distinct morphologies, such as cluster, void cluster and percolated (gel-like) fluids. These different structural regimes exhibit complex relaxation dynamics with significant relaxation heterogeneity and slowdown. The overall relationship between structure and configurational sampling schemes, however, remains largely uncharted. In this article, the disordered microphases of a schematic SALR model are thoroughly characterized, and structural relaxation functions adapted to each regime are devised. The sampling efficiency of various advanced Monte Carlo (MC) sampling schemes--Virtual-Move (VMMC), Aggregation-Volume-Bias (AVBMC) and Event-Chain (ECMC)--is then assessed. A combination of VMMC and AVBMC is found to be computationally most efficient for cluster fluids and ECMC to become relatively more efficient as density increases. These results offer a complete description of the equilibrium disordered phase of a simple microphase former as well as dynamical benchmarks for other sampling schemes.

description: Loosely bound van der Waals dimers of lanthanide atoms, as might be obtained in ultracold atom experiments, are investigated. These molecules are known to exhibit a degree of quantum chaos, due to the strong anisotropic mixing of their angular spin and rotation degrees of freedom. Within a model of these molecules, we identify different realms of this anisotropic mixing, depending on whether the spin, the rotation, or both, are significantly mixed by the anisotropy. These realms are in turn generally correlated with the resulting magnetic moments of the states.

description: Dugald Stewart devoted to the «Varieties of Intellectual Characters» a chapter in the third volume of his Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind, published in 1827. Aiming to give a full account of the human mind and to stress the natural modifications of character produced by the acquisition of mental habits, the chapter focused on three characters: the poet, the mathematician, and the metaphysician. Stewart mostly pleaded their defects and degenerations: poets were criticised for their depending on the public's opinion and mathematicians for their uncritical relying on false principles. About the fourth character, the women, Stewart affirmed that it was not the product of habits, but was natural and therefore could not be improved.

description: We are carrying out a survey of magnetic fields in Ap stars in open clusters in order to obtain the first sample of magnetic upper main sequence stars with precisely known ages. These data will constrain theories of field evolution in these stars. Using the new spectropolarimeter ESPaDOnS at CFHT, we have obtained 44 measurements of the mean longitudinal fields of 23 B6 - A2 stars that have been identified as possible Ap stars and that are possible members of open clusters, with a median uncertainty of about 45 G. Of these stars, 10 have definite field detections. Nine stars of our sample are found not to be magnetic Ap stars. The ESPaDOnS data contain a large amount of useful information not readily obtained from lower resolution spectropolarimetry. With the new observations we are able to expand the available data on fields of low-mass, relatively evolved Ap stars, and identify more robustly which observed stars are actually magnetic Ap stars and cluster members. Re-analysis of the enlarged data set of cluster Ap stars indicates that such stars with masses in the range of 2 -- 5 \mo show RMS fields larger than about 1 kG only when they are near the ZAMS. The time scale on which these large fields disappear varies strongly with mass, ranging from about 250 Myr for stars of 2 - 3 solar mass to 15 Myr for stars of 4 - 5 solar mass. Our data are consistent either with emergent flux conservation for most (but not all) Ap stars, or with modest decline in flux with age.

A Systematic Evaluation of Environmental Discrimination with Sustainability Initiatives in India
Creators: name: Williams, Jonah
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: In the past fifty-years, India has undeniably become one of the world’s economic and industrial superpowers, dominating the geopolticial climate of South Asia. India’s road to industrialization has been accompanied by extreme environmental devastation which is encapsulated by population growth, pollution, and loss of biodiversity; additionally, many of these factors have had crippling effects on certain areas of India’s environment. To combat these problems, certain groups within the government and nation, such as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, have been implementing sustainable solutions to combat the adverse effects of man-made environmental degradation. Oftentimes however, the implementation of these conservation tactics is done at a state-wide or national level in what is masked as “soft-authoritarianism” and fail to consider the interests and accessibility of programs for all peoples; especially communities which are labeled as minority, indigenous, slum, or lower caste (Dalit) leading to the rise of environmental prejudices. Although India has come a long way in the past decade regarding action against environmental problems through new sustainable solutions, it has failed to consider the accessibility of these programs to all peoples and the alleviation of environmental discrimination. This paper considers the convoluted nature of the past and aims to propose solutions that will a) allow India to continue its commitment to a sustainable future and b) combat socio-political issues of environmental biases, which adhere to the paradigm of Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM).

description: Spectral lines from formaldehyde (H2CO) molecules at cm wavelengths are typically detected in absorption and trace a broad range of environments, from diffuse gas to giant molecular clouds. In contrast, thermal emission of formaldehyde lines at cm wavelengths is rare. In previous observations with the 100m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT), we detected 2 cm formaldehyde emission toward NGC7538 IRS1 - a high-mass protostellar object in a prominent star-forming region of our Galaxy. We present further GBT observations of the 2 cm and 1 cm H2CO lines to investigate the nature of the 2 cm H2CO emission. We conducted observations to constrain the angular size of the 2 cm emission region based on a East-West and North-South cross-scan map. Gaussian fits of the spatial distribution in the East-West direction show a deconvolved size (at half maximum) of the 2 cm emission of 50" +/- 8". The 1 cm H2CO observations revealed emission superimposed on a weak absorption feature. A non-LTE radiative transfer analysis shows that the H2CO emission is consistent with quasi-thermal radiation from dense gas (~10^5 to 10^6 cm^-3). We also report detection of 4 transitions of CH3OH (12.2, 26.8, 28.3, 28.9 GHz), the (8,8) transition of NH3 (26.5 GHz), and a cross-scan map of the 13 GHz SO line that shows extended emission (> 50").

description: We combine observations from ALMA, ATCA, MUSE, andHerschel to study gas-to-dust ratios in 15 Fornax cluster galaxies detected in the FIR/sub-mm by Herschel and observed by ALMA as part of the ALMA Fornax Cluster Survey (AlFoCS). The sample spans a stellar mass range of 8.3 $\leq$ log (M$_*$ / M$_\odot$) $\leq$ 11.16, and a variety of morphological types. We use gas-phase metallicities derived from MUSE observations (from the Fornax3D survey) to study these ratios as a function of metallicity, and to study dust-to-metal ratios, in a sub-sample of nine galaxies. We find that gas-to-dust ratios in Fornax galaxies are systematically lower than those in field galaxies at fixed stellar mass/metallicity. This implies that a relatively large fraction of the metals in these Fornax systems is locked up in dust, which is possibly due to altered chemical evolution as a result of the dense environment. The low ratios are not only driven by HI deficiencies, but H$_2$-to-dust ratios are also significantly decreased. This is different in the Virgo cluster, where low gas-to-dust ratios inside the virial radius are driven by low HI-to-dust ratios, while H$_2$-to-dust ratios are increased. Resolved observations of NGC1436 show a radial increase in H$_2$-to-dust ratio, and show that low ratios are present throughout the disc. We propose various explanations for the low H$_2$-to-dust ratios in the Fornax cluster, including the more efficient stripping of H$_2$ compared to dust, more efficient enrichment of dust in the star formation process, and altered ISM physics in the cluster environment.

For filling factors $ν= 5/3, 4/3, 2/3, 3/5, 4/7, 2/5$ and 1/3 the specific heat displays a strong exponential temperature dependence in agreement with excitations across a quasi-particle gap. At filling factor $ν= 1/2$ we were able to measure the specific heat of a composite fermion system for the first time. The observed linear temperature dependence on temperature down to $T = 0.14$ K agrees well with early predictions for a Fermi liquid of composite fermions.

description: A key cause of chemo-mechanical degradation in battery electrodes is that they undergo abrupt phase transformation during the charging/discharging cycle. This phase transformation is accompanied by lattice misfit strains that nucleate microcracks, induce fracture and, in extreme cases, amorphize the intercalation electrode. In this work, we propose a strategy to prevent the chemo-mechanical degradation of intercalation electrodes: we show that by engineering suitable film strains we can regulate the phase transformations in thin-film intercalation electrodes and circumvent the large volume changes. We test this strategy using a combination of theory and experiment: we first analytically derive the effect of film strain on the electrochemical response of a thin-film intercalation electrode and next apply our analytical model to a representative example (LixV2O5 with multiple phase transformations). We then test our theoretical predictions experimentally. Specifically, we electrochemically cycle thin-film V2O5 electrodes with different film strains and measure their structure, voltage, and stress responses. Our findings show that tensile film strains lower the voltage for phase transformations in thin-film V2O5 electrodes and facilitate their reversible cycling across a wider voltage window without chemo-mechanical degradation. These results suggest that film strain engineering is an alternative approach to preventing chemo-mechanical degradation in intercalation electrodes. Beyond thin-film electrodes, our findings from this study are applicable to the study of stress-induced phase transformations in particle-based electrodes and the thin surface layers forming on cathode particles.

description: According to Hume one thing is certain, that national characters – like individual and professional characters – do not depend on «physical» but only on «moral» causes. Then, why not the same with animals? Hume has a certain familiarity with horses, even with priests and soldiers, but none with «negroes». With devotion priests judge him «very unfit» for the chair of moral philosophy; with comradeship soldiers receive him among them and he calls them «our family»: «friends or confidents whom you can be free with in seriis et in jocis». Horses, with the help of Strabo, show themselves dependent on «moral» causes, on «the skill and care in rearing them» (not only on «the different breeds»). On the contrary, «negroes» may cause some philosophical troubles. The problem can be solved only by nature and parrots. Four footnotes to Of National Characters, and their variations, compose a fine embarrassing piece, especially for the philosopher of human nature.

The Green Economy: The Dangerous Path of Nature Commoditization
Creators: name: Wilson, Mark
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: UNEP’s proposal of the green economy advocates the pricing of ecosystem services in the hope of providing greater environmental protection. There are five aspects which could undermine its practical implementation as well as its social legitimacy; i) ecosystem services are inherently difficult to price, ii) the consideration of the rebound effect is insufficient, iii) primacy of economics over the environment is ensured, iv) markets offer little protection for the poorest people, and v) existing market mechanisms aimed at safeguarding the environment have not succeeded. The green economy relies upon the discursive power of ecological modernisation and our faith in progress to uphold a failing strategy of unfettered economic growth. This discourse limits our capacity to conceive solutions outside the economic sphere. Achieving sustainable development will require a process of social change tha could be facilitated by the acceptance that nature is more than just a form of capital.

Sustainability and Contemporary Man-Nature Divide: Aspects of Conflict and Alienation
Creators: name: El-Kamel Bakari, Mohamed
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: The rise of modern capitalism, which is based largely on Enlightenment thinking and the primacy of exponential economic growth, has usually been considered the starting point of environmental degradation and the abuse of nature. Post-industrial societies, therefore, have been characterized by a disturbed environment-society relationship manifesting itself as ecological disasters as well as the prevailing instrumental view of nature under the current neoliberal capitalist paradigm of development. Using this framework, this article aims to discuss whether or not the current environment-society relationship is wholly at odds with the holistic view of nature within the sustainability discourse. Some important features of globalization, such as ‘time-space distanciation,’ rising ‘corporatism,’ and ‘global consumerism’, are also relevant to this discussion. Special emphasis is placed on the increasingly conspicuous aspects of human alienation from nature within modern societies as well as the concomitant social and cultural dislocations that the lingering Man-Nature divide has engendered. Ultimately, the potential of new initiatives to bridge this divide and promote sustainability is highlighted and research questions are thrown up for further scholarly investigation.

description: The first atmospheric Cherenkov telescope of VERITAS (the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) has been in operation since February 2005. We present here a technical description of the instrument and a summary of its performance. The calibration methods are described, along with the results of Monte Carlo simulations of the telescope and comparisons between real and simulated data. The analysis of TeV $γ$-ray observations of the Crab Nebula, including the reconstructed energy spectrum, is shown to give results consistent with earlier measurements. The telescope is operating as expected and has met or exceeded all design specifications.

Examining the Efficacy of Fair Trade Eco-Labeling on Environmental Sustainability and Human Rights in Developing Countries
Creators: name: Overbeek, Ashley
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Through the lens of political ecology, the idea of alternative consumption, as defined by Bryant et al, is the consumption of more sustainable products with eco-labels alerting consumers about the benefits of purchasing said product instead of traditional products. Here, I examine the efficacy of Fair Trade certification on environmental sustainability and human rights in developing countries. Benefits accrued to Fair Trade, namely that certification informs consumers about environmental and social issues occurring in developing countries, provides consumers an option for “alternative”, more sustainable consumption, encourages businesses to develop in a more sustainable manner, and also may provide premiums that support environmental conservation and human well-being in developing countries or traditionally rentier-states. However, several drawbacks of Fair Trade certification and alternative consumption also have been noted, namely the concerns about corporate greenwashing, as well as the potential for creating a moral hazard for consumers who feel as though they are making a difference by simply perpetuating a neo-liberal capitalistic culture that oppresses those in developing countries in the first place. In addition, the definite Edenization of the rainforest can have arguably positive and negative benefits on the environmental and social aspects of developing countries. This paper will also examine the long-term effects of green marketing in the global North on the perceptions of the South as a place of unaltered wilderness and pristine ecosystems separate from the social struggles of human society. This paper argues that Fair Trade and alternative consumption has its benefits and constraints/limitations, but overall has greatly improved the plight of developing countries. Inherently, alternative consumption subscribes to neo-liberal systems and capitalistic culture, yet given we all must consume and alternative consumption captures a large audience and corporations with considerable purchasing power, Fair Trade certification and alternative consumption may be an effective means of consumptive change within the system.

Dance and Mixed-Media Performance for Building Scientific Understanding and Environmental Respect
Creators: name: Butler, Lauren
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Art and science are essential for sustainable development, and art-science interactions can advance both fields and enhance their impact. This is supported by historical, personal, and contemporary examples. Dance and performing arts are especially powerful when representing the physical world studied by environmental science, and for encouraging change in thoughts and actions related to the environment. The ways in which artistic approaches differ from the scientific are helpful in encouraging innovation and scientific discovery. Obstacles to such collaborations are discussed, as well as potential solutions and best practices. One such practice is measuring impacts of interdisciplinary collaborations, and a methodology is proposed to do so. Study of these interactions will enable strategic art-science partnerships and encourage wider acceptance of interdisciplinary innovation.

description: We observe experimentally optical bistability enhanced through Fano interferences in high-Q localized silicon photonic crystal resonances (Q ~ 30,000 and modal volume ~ 0.98 cubic wavelengths). This phenomenon is analyzed through nonlinear coupled-mode formalism, including the interplay of chi(3) effects such as two-photon absorption and related free-carrier dynamics, and optical Kerr as well as thermal effects and linear losses. Our experimental and theoretical results demonstrate for the first time Fano-resonance based bistable states with switching thresholds of 185 micro-Watt and 4.5 fJ internally stored cavity energy (~ 540 fJ consumed energy) in silicon for scalable optical buffering and logic.

Low-$x$ improved TMD approach to the lepto- and hadroproduction of a heavy-quark pair

description: We study lepto- and hadroproduction of a heavy-quark pair in the ITMD factorization framework for dilute-dense collisions. Due to the presence of a nonzero quark mass and/or nonzero photon virtuality, new contributions appear compared to the cases of photo- and hadroproduction of dijets, for which the ITMD framework was originally derived. The extra terms are sensitive to gluons that are not fully linearly polarized. At small $x$ those gluons emerge only when saturation effects are taken into account, and in a proper way. As a result, in linear small-$x$ frameworks where gluon are fully linearly polarized, such contributions are absent. We show however that they are not always negligible, even for large gluon transverse momentum, due to the behavior of the off-shell hard factors.

The Prospects of Sustainable Desert Agriculture to Improve Food Security in Oman
Creators: name: Mbaga, Msafiri Daudi
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Food security will continue to be one of the important issues occupying policy makers in the Middle East and Oman in particular. Desert countries such as Oman depend significantly on imported food commodities for food security because the desert environment is harsh in such a way that only very little food can be produced locally. As a result, Oman produces only a fraction of the food it consumes, and most of the food, especially grains and red meat is imported. Land and water scarcity are among the leading constraints to agricultural production such that by 2050, Oman is expected to depend solely on imports to meet food security needs. This paper proposes alternative technologies and approaches that can be employed by Oman under desert agriculture to help improve domestic food production and thus food security in the country.

Conductance fluctuations in disordered superconductors with broken time-reversal symmetry near two dimensions

description: We extend the analysis of the conductance fluctuations in disordered metals by Altshuler, Kravtsov, and Lerner (AKL) to disordered superconductors with broken time-reversal symmetry in $d=(2+ε)$ dimensions (symmetry classes C and D of Altland and Zirnbauer). Using a perturbative renormalization group analysis of the corresponding non-linear sigma model (NL$σ$M) we compute the anomalous scaling dimensions of the dominant scalar operators with $2s$ gradients to one-loop order. We show that, in analogy with the result of AKL for ordinary, metallic systems (Wigner-Dyson classes), an infinite number of high-gradient operators would become relevant (in the renormalization group sense) near two dimensions if contributions beyond one-loop order are ignored. We explore the possibility to compare, in symmetry class D, the $ε=(2-d)$ expansion in $d<2$ with exact results in one dimension. The method we use to perform the one-loop renormalization analysis is valid for general symmetric spaces of Kähler type, and suggests that this is a generic property of the perturbative treatment of NL$σ$Ms defined on Riemannian symmetric target spaces.

Weakly-Supervised Domain Adaptation of Deep Regression Trackers via Reinforced Knowledge Distillation

description: Deep regression trackers are among the fastest tracking algorithms available, and therefore suitable for real-time robotic applications. However, their accuracy is inadequate in many domains due to distribution shift and overfitting. In this paper we overcome such limitations by presenting the first methodology for domain adaption of such a class of trackers. To reduce the labeling effort we propose a weakly-supervised adaptation strategy, in which reinforcement learning is used to express weak supervision as a scalar application-dependent and temporally-delayed feedback. At the same time, knowledge distillation is employed to guarantee learning stability and to compress and transfer knowledge from more powerful but slower trackers. Extensive experiments on five different robotic vision domains demonstrate the relevance of our methodology. Real-time speed is achieved on embedded devices and on machines without GPUs, while accuracy reaches significant results.

Creators: name: Tyler, Jenna
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2019

description: Natural disasters continue to plague the United States, undermining the nation’s ability to build disaster resilient communities. Although structural and non-structural mitigation measures are currently in place to lessen the impact natural disasters have on society, little attention has been given to the construction of green infrastructure as a sustainable hazard mitigation strategy. The purpose of this article is to explore the benefits of green infrastructure as a sustainable hazard mitigation strategy and offer recommendations to public sector entities to build disaster resilient communities.
