description: Recently it was argued that gravity with the squire of the Ricci tensor can be stabilized by adding constraints to the theory. This was so far demonstrated for fluctuations on the Minkowski/de Sitter background. We show that the same scheme works equally well for removing Ostrogradski's ghost from fluctuations on a cosmological background in generic $f(R,R_{μν}^2,C_{μνρσ}^2)$-type theories of gravity. We also derive the general formula for the spectrum of primordial tensor perturbations from the stabilized theory.

Some Problems Related with Reservations to International Treaties: Focus on Human Rights Treaties
Creators: name: Ababu, Molla
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Abstract


Briefly, the writer basically explores whether the rules of reservations available in
the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and other customary international law
are compatible with the nature, objects and purposes as well as protection of human
rights treaties. Specifically, the writer argues that such rules are either inadequate or
are not suitable to govern reservations that may be made to human rights treaties.
The problems related with lack of appropriate institutions or authorities to interpret
rules of reservations and follow up the consequences of reservations made to human
rights treaties will be assessed in terms of their impact on the protection of human
rights.

On Steiner Symmetrizations of First Exit Time Distributions and Levy Processes
Creators: name: Rolling, Timothy M
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Probability theory

description: The goal of this thesis is to establish generalized isoperimetric inequalities on first exit time distributions as well as expectations of L\'evy processes. Firstly, we prove inequalities on first exit time distributions in the case that the L\'evy process is an $\alpha$-stable symmetric process $A_t$ on $\R^d$, $\alpha\in(0,2]$. Given $A_t$ and a bounded domain $D\subset\R^d$, we present a proof, based on the classical Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger inequalities for multiple integrals, that the distribution of the first exit time of $A_t$ from $D$ increases under Steiner symmetrization. Further, it is shown that when a sequence of domains $\{D_m\}$ each contained in a ball $B\subset\R^d$ and satisfying the $\varepsilon$-cone property converges to a domain $D'$ with respect to the Hausdorff metric, the sequence of distributions of first exit times for Brownian motion from $D_m$ converges to the distribution of the exit time of Brownian motion from $D'$. The second set of results in this thesis extends the theorems from \cite{BanMen} by proving generalized isoperimetric inequalities on expectations of L\'evy processes in the case of Steiner symmetrization.% using the Brascamp-Lieb-Luttinger inequalities used above. These results will then be used to establish inequalities involving distributions of first exit times of $\alpha$-stable symmetric processes $A_t$ from triangles and quadrilaterals. The primary application of these inequalities is verifying a conjecture from Ba\~nuelos for these planar domains. This extends a classical result of P\'olya and Szeg\"o to the fractional Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
Childhood Adversity as a Risk Factor for Adolescent Pregnancy Involvement
Creators: name: Ross, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Purpose: Several markers of childhood adversity have been studied in relation to adolescent pregnancy. However, the majority of these studies have involved childhood maltreatment and the results have been mixed. Additionally, few studies have examined the link between childhood adversity and adolescent paternity. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between multiple adverse exposures during childhood and risk of adolescent pregnancy and paternity using a nationally representative sample. Methods: We used data from the Wave I and IV public-use datasets of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (n=4,412). Logistic regression models were used to assess the association between childhood adversity (i.e., experiencing verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, parental incarceration or a family member suicide attempt during childhood) and the likelihood of becoming pregnant or causing a pregnancy at age 19 or younger. Results: Among men, parental incarceration was significantly associated with adolescent paternity, with an odds ratio of 1.89 (95% CI 1.20-2.96). Among women, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, and parental incarceration were significantly associated with adolescent pregnancy. The odds ratios ranged from 1.46 (95% CI 1.07, 1.98) for verbal abuse to 1.84 (95% CI 1.19, 2.84) for sexual abuse. Conclusions: Childhood adversity was associated with adolescent pregnancy and paternity. Findings from this study support the need for intervention efforts that focus on prevention of childhood adversity and provision of mental health services to those who have experienced traumatic events during childhood.

An Extended Magnetohydrodynamics Model for Relativistic Weakly Collisional Plasmas

description: Black holes that accrete far below the Eddington limit are believed to accrete through a geometrically thick, optically thin, rotationally supported plasma that we will refer to as a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF). RIAFs are typically collisionless in the sense that the Coulomb mean free path is large compared to $GM/c^2$, and relativistically hot near the event horizon. In this paper we develop a phenomenological model for the plasma in RIAFs, motivated by the application to sources such as Sgr A* and M87. The model is derived using Israel-Stewart theory, which considers deviations up to second order from thermal equilibrium, but modified for a magnetized plasma. This leads to thermal conduction along magnetic field lines and a difference in pressure, parallel and perpendicular to the field lines (which is equivalent to anisotrotropic viscosity). In the non-relativistic limit, our model reduces to the widely used Braginskii theory of magnetized, weakly collisional plasmas. We compare our model to the existing literature on dissipative relativistic fluids, describe the linear theory of the plasma, and elucidate the physical meaning of the free parameters in the model. We also describe limits of the model when the conduction is saturated and when the viscosity implies a large pressure anisotropy. In future work, the formalism developed in this paper will be used in numerical models of RIAFs to assess the importance of non-ideal processes for the dynamics and radiative properties of slowly accreting black holes.

Symbols and Worlds: a study of the Sacred in a selection of works by Assia Djebar, Tahar Ben Jelloun and Salman Rushdie
Creators: name: Feriani, Rim
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This thesis provides a reading of the concept of the Sacred in a selection of texts by Assia Djebar, Tahar Ben Jelloun and Salman Rushdie. The aims of this thesis are threefold. The first aim is to demonstrate that the selected texts of the three authors creatively engage with the Sufi Islamic heritage through the use of symbolic expressions of the Sacred. The second aim is to argue that the symbols of the Sacred in the three authors’ works ontologically project what are termed here “intermediate worlds” of the Sacred. And the third aim is to gain a hermeneutic understanding of the concept of the Sacred in the literary works of Djebar, Ben Jelloun and Rushdie. In order to achieve these aims I adopt Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic approach which allows me to interpret the symbolic and ontological underpinnings of the Sacred in the three authors’ works. Furthermore, I draw from the Sufi philosophy of Ibn Arabi, since locating this thesis within a Sufi conceptual and philosophical framework is essential given the Islamic tradition with which, as I argue, the three writers creatively engage. The contribution of this thesis consists in seeking new lines of inquiry by expanding on the predominant postcolonial, postmodern and feminist approaches to Djebar’s, Ben Jelloun’s and Rushdie’s work. By tracing affinities between the three authors’ selected texts, through a focus on the creative encounter with the Sacred, this thesis makes a new contribution to the study of the three authors in its aim of providing a broader understanding of their literary works. The symbols that I interpret in this thesis are the journey, the “hidden”, the “openings”, “darkness” and “light”. The choice of exploring the symbolic aspect of the journey is motivated by its link, as this thesis argues, with the Sacred journey of the Prophet Muhammad as well as with the meaning of a Sufi spiritual journey. I also chose to examine the four symbols of the “hidden”, the “openings”, “darkness” and “light” because of their connection to the Sacred names of God in the Islamic tradition and to their structural relations, as signifiers, to the symbol of the journey. In addition to the symbolic expressions of the Sacred, I explore in this thesis the ontological dimension of the experience of the Sacred in the three authors’ selected works. In this regard, I draw from Ibn Arabi’s Sufi concept of the barzakh which is an ontological concept that refers to an intermediate reality where the Sufi seeker encounters opposite worlds. My hermeneutic reading of the “projected worlds” in light of the concept of the barzakh highlights the creative encounter between the three authors’ selected texts and the Sacred. Hence, the Sacred is not presented as a definite and defined system of thought. On the contrary, it is argued that these texts oblige the reader to question philosophically how the Sacred is both expressed in the texts and experienced beyond the parameters of the texts.

description: Изучение экспедиционных материалов Д. Г. Мессершмидта началось еще в XVIII в., но сведения из его документов публиковались зачастую без ссылок на авторство. Планомерное изучение материалов экспедиции началось, когда в 1931 г. в Архиве Академии наук СССР был создан личный фонд ученого (фонд № 98). Картографическое наследие путешественника стали внимательно рассматривать лишь с конца 1930-х — начала 1940-х гг.; именно тогда эти материалы оказались в поле зрения советских ученых, которые пытались определить место карт Д. Г. Мессершмидта в ряду картографических источников о Сибири. Работа по изучению научного наследия путешественника активизировалась в последние десятилетия; картографический материал (в настоящее время в состав картографического наследия Д. Г. Мессершмидта, хранящегося в СПбФ АРАН, входят 50 самостоятельных картографических изображений и чертежей, относящихся непосредственно к его экспедиции и включающих земли Сибири, Камчатки, Дальнего Востока и Восточной Азии) стал одним из объектов исследования.

description: Peatlands have been degraded due to human activities. This thesis explored soil hydro-physical properties and their spatial characteristics from different peatlands in Germany. Spatial variability of soil properties differed with investigated properties and peatland degradation stages. Soil anisotropy affected water movement and solute transport. Microtopography influenced organic carbon accumulation and nutrient leaching. Formulating rewetting plans and assessing rewetting efforts required considering soil properties and their spatial information, particularly in nutrient release hotspots.

description: Relying on an exact time evolution scheme, we identify a novel transient energy transfer phe- nomenon in an exactly-solvable quantum microscopic model consisting of a three-level system coupled to two non-Markovian zero-temperature bosonic baths through two separable quantum channels. The dynamics of this model can be solved exactly using the quantum-state-diffusion equation formalism, demonstrating finite intervals of unidirectional energy flow across the system, typically, from the non-Markovian environment towards the more Markovian bath. Furthermore, when introducing a spatial asymmetry into the system, an analogue of the rectification effect is realized. In the long time limit, the dynamics arrives at a stationary state and the effects recede. Understanding temporal characteristics of directional energy flow will aid in designing microscopic energy transfer devices.

Comparative Relevance of the Ethiopian Federal System to other African Polities of the Horn: First Thoughts on the Possibility of “Exporting” Multi-ethnic Federalism
Creators: name: Regassa, Tsegaye Regassa
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Abstract


Ethiopia has been experimenting with federalism for several years now. Its accent on
ethno-linguistic criteria for state formation, its constitutional recognition of the right
to secession, the unusual mode of constitutional adjudication through the House of
Federation (a body that is analogous to an upper house of a bicameral legislature),
the de facto asymmetry that persists in spite of the de jure symmetry, the lack of
explicit textual recognition of federal supremacy and the consequent
parallelism/dualism noted in federal practice, among other things, have attracted
attention both in academic and non-academic circles. This article seeks to reflect upon
whether the Ethiopian federal experiment can offer some lessons to other countries of
the Horn of Africa who feel the similar burden of diversity, conflict, and insecurity. In
other words, it inquires into the “exportability” of the Ethiopian brand of federalism.
In so doing, it first seeks to descriptively situate federalism in Ethiopia’s past and
present. Then it weighs the (ir)relevance of the Ethiopian federal experiment to the
countries in the sub-region by looking into the significance of multi-ethnic federalism
for internal peace and stability, for entrenchment of ethno-cultural justice and for
governance of diversity, and for the prospect of regional integration. In the quest for a
potential ‘market’ to export to, this piece reflects on the factors that facilitate the
migration of law (e.g. success at home, prestige abroad, and the psychology of the
countries of the sub-region which inevitably is informed by a history of chequered
relations, etc). In this way, it seeks to examine the comparative relevance of the
Ethiopian federal experiment to other countries with a common set of ailments to deal
with.

description: Pay for success (PFS) and social impact bonds (SIBs) are finance mechanisms by which governments can reduce costs and expand evidence-based programs. In these structures, investors front capital to nonprofit service providers for services to reduce costly social problems. Governments looking to gain monetary savings for preventative programs are interested in having private investors front this capital primarily as a cost saving mechanism. Anticipated cost savings are tied directly tied to program outcomes which lend SIBs to work well for policy priorities and identified costs that can be reduced.

We have confirmed the results of Stone & Proga 2009 that an azimuthal flow structure is created in the planetary wind due to day/night temperatures differences. We show that a backflow towards the planet will occur with a strength that depends on the escape parameter. When a stellar outflow is included, we see unstable bow waves forming through the outflow's interaction with the planetary wind.

Taming Contingency: Photography at the Crossroads between Collections, Archives and Atlases

Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: My practice-based PhD investigates how the gathering of visual information through the photographic camera, together with the visual strategies involved in the organisation and configuration of specific groups of images are key processes in the constitution of meaning. I use my own practice to ‘de-construct’ these ideas, to help me understand the role of photography in recording information with the purpose of piecing the gathered material together in an atlas, using the montage, and to finally present the result using the grid as a structure that holds all the photographs together. One of the main aspects that underlies this research is the role that photography plays in recording information and the way in which historically, photography and archives are constituted together. In the last three decades, the concept of the archive has been given increasing prominence in the field of art. A review of the literature theorising the articulation between archives and art shows that in fact photographs and visual imagery are at the core of most archives. Therefore, the role of photography is one of the key elements to consider in the discussion between archives and art. My research tries to recover, actualise and visually add to some of the discourses that focus on the singular relationship established between photography and archives. For this I will analyse my own work and artworks that use photography as the first means to gather visual information. However, in the construction of these artworks, artists use a range of organisational strategies borrowed from archives, collections and visual atlases.Therefore, the practices discussed in the thesis including my own neither constitute, nor belong to archives, collections, or visual atlases of images. What they do is to borrow strategies from all these systems, moving between them to create singular artworks that have a hybrid character.

description: Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plans are an essential, though often neglected, tool for public health interventions. M&E plans provide a clear and structured outline of the goals and objectives of a particular program. Additionally, they clarify the types of data and method of collection that will be necessary to analyze the program's success. Assessment of a program's progress and the extent to which its goals are being achieved is valuable to both internal and external stakeholders alike. For programs that rely on external funding, having data to demonstrate their success can be critical for securing such funds. This document outlines an M&E plan for the Conetoe Family Life Center, whose mission is to break the cycle of poverty and disease in their community through a unique intervention which utilizes community gardening and youth empowerment.

description: Public transportation contributes to a large share of urban mobility; however, the Low quality
 of service and performance that are being exhibited in the current public transit system has led
 commuters to shift to other modes of transport. The problem posed in the public transit couldn’t
 be addressed without the implementation of information and communication technologies for
 effective management, planning and operation of service.
 The current research focuses on impact assessment of deploying intelligent public
 transportation system on urban mobility, and based on the impact assessment to lay a strategic
 direction for future implementation of the system in the case of Addis Ababa. Based on the
 impact assessment of intelligent public transportation system it was found that integrated fleet
 management system, advanced transit traveler information system, traffic signal priority and
 automatic fare collection could produce a significant impact in improving the service quality
 and performance of public transit service.
 The research also identified problems that are exhibited in the current public transit service of
 Addis Ababa city through analysis of commuter’s level of satisfaction and perception of service
 quality of the existing service by conducting a questionnaire survey on 106 respondents.
 Time it takes for a bus to arrive at next station was also conducted on 14 bus routes during peak
 and off peak hours. Based on the analysis a regression model was developed to correlate the
 time it takes for a bus to arrive at next station with speed of bus, boarding and alighting time at
 stations, bus stop due to traffic signal and queue and also distance between stations. Using the
 model as a basis, a theoretical approach was employed to calculate the time that could be saved
 if a certain intelligent public transportation solution were to be implemented. The research
 concludes intelligent public transport system plays an important role in improving service
 quality and performance of public transit

description: Charged current inclusive neutrino-nucleus cross sections are evaluated using the superscaling model for quasielastic scattering and its extension to the pion production region. The contribution of two-particle-two-hole vector meson-exchange current excitations is also considered within a fully relativistic model tested against electron scattering data. The results are compared with the inclusive neutrino-nucleus data from the T2K and SciBooNE experiments. For experiments where $\langle E_ν\rangle \sim 0.8$ GeV, the three mechanisms considered in this work provide good agreement with the data. However, when the neutrino energy is larger, effects from beyond the $Δ$ also appear to be playing a role. The results show that processes induced by two-body currents play a minor role at the kinematics considered.

 workers, waste handlers and the community to infections, toxic effects and injuries
 including pollution to the environment due to its poor management. The shortcomings in
 the management practices of hospital solid waste were studied by looking at Menelik
 Referral Hospital as case study; the management of medical waste is of great importance
 due to its potential environmental hazards and public health risks. The objective of this
 study is to assess the energy recovery potential from medical solid waste and also waste
 management practices at Menelik Referral Hospital. The methods used are qualitative
 and quantitative consist of the use of survey and interview with the concerned body of the
 hospital. It also involved in the identification and characterization (type and laboratories
 work) of waste type.
 After waste characterization, Thermoflex® Software has been used for modeling and
 Simulation. The model has been validated by using literature data from actual operating
 Waste to Energy Plants. The result shows that the average solid medical waste generation
 rate was determined 1295.6 kg/day from this about 35.7 % was food waste, 15.8 %
 plastic waste, 11.3 % paper waste, 4.2 % glass waste and 2.5 % cloth waste and 31% of
 infectious waste such as sharps, needles, glove, gauze & etc. The annual estimated waste
 generation was 472,894 kg or 42.9 tons. Thus, based on the simulation result, the
 proposed model plant can generate approximately 0.59 MW net electric power of 21.13
 % net electric efficiency with waste throughput of 0.149 Kg/s.
 Based on results, the plant performance was affected by fuel lower heating value,
 moisture content, ash content, ambient temperature and excess air. However, using
 optimization techniques i.e. lowering boiler exit temperature, condenser pressure and
 increasing steam inlet temperature tends to increase the power output from 540.6 KW to
 587.3 Kw. In conclusion, adopting medical solid waste-to-energy plant for health-care
 centers not only generates energy but also it helps in reducing waste to be land filled and
 protects human health as well as environmental impacts.

description: Recommendation systems aim to identify items that are likely to be of interest to users. In many cases, users are interested in package recommendations as collections of items. For example, a dietitian may wish to derive a dietary plan as a collection of recipes that is nutritionally balanced, and a travel agent may want to produce a vacation package as a coordinated collection of travel and hotel reservations. Recent work has explored extending recommendation systems to support packages of items. These systems need to solve complex combinatorial problems, enforcing various properties and constraints defined on sets of items. Introducing constraints on packages makes recommendation queries harder to evaluate, but also harder to express: Queries that are under-specified produce too many answers, whereas queries that are over-specified frequently miss interesting solutions. In this paper, we study query relaxation techniques that target package recommendation systems. Our work offers three key insights: First, even when the original query result is not empty, relaxing constraints can produce preferable solutions. Second, a solution due to relaxation can only be preferred if it improves some property specified by the query. Third, relaxation should not treat all constraints as equals: some constraints are more important to the users than others. Our contributions are threefold: (a) we define the problem of deriving package recommendations through query relaxation, (b) we design and experimentally evaluate heuristics that relax query constraints to derive interesting packages, and (c) we present a crowd study that evaluates the sensitivity of real users to different kinds of constraints and demonstrates that query relaxation is a powerful tool in diversifying package recommendations.

Disparities in sexual health knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors of college students: Results from the UNC Needs Assessment on Sexual Health
Creators: name: Rosenthal, Kristan

description: Objective: Determine the extent to which disparities in sexual health knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors exist between different racial/ethnic groups, gender identities, and sexualities among college students. Methods: Surveys were randomly distributed to 2,500 students per year over four years. Racial/ethnic minorities were oversampled in an attempt to ensure they were adequately represented in the sample. Bivariate chi-square analyses were used to examine subgroup differences. Results: A number of significant associations were found. Racial/ethnic group was found to be associated with all knowledge questions, most belief questions, and some behavior questions. Gender identity was associated with some knowledge questions, most belief questions, and some behavior questions. Sexuality saw the fewest significant associations, likely due to a small sample size. In most cases, minority groups had lower knowledge and more unhealthy sexual health behaviors. Conclusions: These findings reinforce previous research, highlighting disparities that exist between racial/ethnic, gender, and sexual minorities in knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes regarding sexual health. More targeted research needs to be done in order to determine which specific groups are most at risk of negative sexual health outcomes and to ensure that all minorities are adequately represented in campus services and programming.

description: Online deliberation may provide a more cost-effective and/or less inhibiting environment for public participation than face to face (F2F). But do online methods bias participation toward certain individuals or groups? We compare F2F versus online participation in an experiment affording within-participants and cross-modal comparisons. For English speakers required to have Internet access as a condition of participation, we find no negative effects of online modes on equality of participation (EoP) related to gender, age, or educational level. Asynchronous online discussion appears to improve EoP for gender relative to F2F. Data suggest a dampening effect of online environments on black participants, as well as amplification for whites. Synchronous online voice communication EoP is on par with F2F across individuals. But individual-level EoP is much lower in the online forum, and greater online forum participation predicts greater F2F participation for individuals. Measured rates of participation are compared to self-reported experiences, and other findings are discussed.

description: Mit der Reflexionskompetenz sind nicht selten hohe, wenn auch divergierende Erwartungen verknüpft. Dies überrascht nur wenig vor dem Hintergrund, dass sowohl der Begriff der Reflexion als auch der Begriff der Kompetenz im Licht ihrer zahlreichen Definitionen schillern. Dennoch wird in der heutigen Arbeitswelt die Fähigkeit zur Reflexion auf allen Ebenen der Beschäftigung gefordert. Wirft man jedoch einen Blick in den Deutschen Qualifikationsrahmen (DQR) tun sich Widersprüche auf. Denn hier wird die Reflexionskompetenz eher in den höheren Bildungsniveaus verortet. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, welche Rolle die Reflexionskompetenz in der beruflichen Bildung spielt. Diese Arbeit versucht, mithilfe eines zweistufigen Untersuchungsdesigns zum einen das Konstrukt der Reflexionskompetenz näher zu untersuchen und zum anderen die Frage nach der Relevanz der Reflexionskompetenz für die berufliche Bildung zu beantworten. Hierfür wird eine diskursanalytische Perspektive eingenommen. Dementsprechend ist es das Ziel, konkurrierende Deutungsperspektiven um das Konstrukt der Reflexionskompetenz zu erschließen und Rückschlüsse auf deren gesellschaftliche Auswirkung zu ziehen. Methodisch umgesetzt wird die Diskursanalyse mittels der systematischer Literaturrecherche sowie der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse. Die Ergebnisse der Analyse weisen darauf hin, dass der Reflexionskompetenz in der beruflichen Bildung eine geringere Relevanz zugeschrieben wird, als in der akademischen Bildung, wobei hier insbesondere die Lehrkräftebildung hervorzuheben ist. Im Vergleich zum Gesamtdiskurs befasst sich der Diskurs der beruflichen Bildung eher oberflächlich mit dem Konstrukt. Zwar taucht es in Form eines Schlagwortes auf, eine tiefergehende Beschäftigung lässt der Diskurs jedoch vermissen.

description: We summarize recent progress in lattice studies of four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory and present preliminary results from ongoing investigations. Our work is based on a construction that exactly preserves a single supersymmetry at non-zero lattice spacing, and we review a new procedure to regulate flat directions by modifying the moduli equations in a manner compatible with this supersymmetry. This procedure defines an improved lattice action that we have begun to use in numerical calculations. We discuss some highlights of these investigations, including the static potential and an update on the question of a possible sign problem in the lattice theory.
