description: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demonstrate the importance of integrating a gender equality perspective into all areas of development work. With the exception of goal five, which specifically focuses on gender, eight of the SDGs include gender and gender equality. For over two decades’ gender discourse has been dominated by a focus on women, overlooking opportunities to engage men as partners in achieving gender equity. Achieving gender equity requires acknowledging dynamics in the relationships between men and women that lead to the differentiated allocation of resources, programmes and decisions based on gender. Equality cannot be achieved by excluding men from development programmes and focusing solely on women. Nutrition policies offer opportunities to progress towards long-term equality development goals.
title: International Banking and Cross-Border Effects of Regulation: Lessons from Canada

Year: 2016

description: We study how changes in prudential requirements affect cross-border lending of Canadian banks by utilizing an index that aggregates adjustments in key regulatory instruments across jurisdictions. We show that when a destination country tightens local prudential measures, Canadian banks lend more to that jurisdiction, and the effect is particularly significant when capital requirements are tightened and weaker if banks lend mainly via affiliates. Our evidence also suggests that Canadian banks adjust foreign lending in response to domestic regulatory changes. The results confirm the presence of heterogeneous spillover effects of foreign prudential requirements.
description: Nous étudions l’effet de modifications de la rigueur des exigences prudentielles sur les activités de prêts transfrontières des banques canadiennes au moyen d’un indice qui regroupe les variations des principaux instruments réglementaires employés dans divers pays. Nous montrons que les prêts des banques canadiennes augmentent quand le pays destinataire durcit ses mesures prudentielles, phénomène qui s’observe surtout lorsqu’il s’agit d’un relèvement des exigences de fonds propres, mais qui est moins marqué si les prêts sont accordés principalement par le biais d’entreprises liées. Nos résultats indiquent en outre que les variations des exigences réglementaires intérieures influent sur les activités de prêt à l’étranger des banques canadiennes. Enfin, nous confirmons la présence d’effets de débordement hétérogènes des exigences prudentielles dans les autres pays.

description: Core-collapse supernovae are dramatic events with a rich phenomenology, including gravitational radiation. Simulations of these events in multiple spatial dimensions with energy- and angle-dependent neutrino transport are still in their infancy. Core collapse and bounce in a supernova in our galaxy may well be visible by first-generation LIGO, but detailed understanding waits on improvements in modeling both stellar progenitors and the supernova process.

description: A nested logit model was applied to the 2009 Southern Cotton Precision Farming Survey to study the influence of farmer and farm characteristics on the adoption of Variability Detection Technologies (VDTs) and Variable Rate Application Technology (VRT). The results reveal that farm size, ownership of the land, and exposure to Extension activities are important factors affecting the choice of VDTs. Also, the farmers adopting both soil- based and plant-based VDTs were found to be more likely to adopt VRT. The probability of adoption of VRT was found to be lower for Texas cotton farmers compared to those in other surveyed states, regardless of the type of VDT adopted.

description: X-ray powder diffraction, magnetic susceptibility $χ(T)$, and electrical resistivity $ρ(T)$ measurements were made on single crystals of the filled skutterudite series Pr(Os$_{1-x}$Ru$_x$)$_4$Sb$_{12}$. One end of the series ($x = 0$) is a heavy fermion superconductor with a superconducting critical temperature $T_{c} = 1.85$ K, while the other end ($x = 1$) is a conventional superconductor with $T_{c} \approx 1$ K. The lattice constant $a$ decreases approximately linearly with increasing Ru concentration $x$. As Ru (Os) is substituted for Os (Ru), $T_{c}$ decreases nearly linearly with substituent concentration and exhibits a minimum with a value of $T_{c} = 0.75$ K at $x = 0.6$, suggesting that the two types of superconductivity compete with one another. Crystalline electric field (CEF) effects in $χ_\mathrm{dc}(T)$ and $ρ(T)$ due to the splitting of the Pr$^{3+}$ nine-fold degenerate Hund's rule $J = 4$ multiplet are observed throughout the series, with the splitting between the ground state and the first excited state increasing monotonically as $x$ increases. The fits to the $χ_\mathrm{dc}(T)$ and $ρ(T)$ data are consistent with a $Γ_{3}$ doublet ground state for all values of x, although reasonable fits can be obtained for a $Γ_{1}$ ground state for $x$ values near the end member compounds ($x = 0$ or $x = 1$).

title: Dwelling and hospitality: a phenomenological inquiry into therapeutic community
Creators: name: Cooper, Robin Anthony
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This phenomenological study firstly examines the concept of the 'therapeutic community' as it appears within contemporary British psychiatry. It argues that certain confusions and contradictions which are exhibited within this area of practice arise as an inevitable consequence of the medicalistic and psychologistic epistemologies upon which these communities are predicated. Secondly, it proposes a number of informing sources whereby the practices of a therapeutic community might be more soundly guided. Amongst these are the ethical writings of Aristotle, and the discussions of 'dwelling' which are to be found within recent European philosophical writings. In particular, certain writings of Heidegger, Levinas and Bachelard are seen to be important. Informed by these sources, it is argued, we may find ourselves in a position to embody theorizing in a manner which more befits the subject matter of the therapeutic community. In the third part, an illustration is offered, of one therapeutic community household within which these questions of 'dwelling' were raised, and whose therapeutic gesture was understood in terms of the hospitality of dwelling, rather than the application of psychological method. Discussion is devoted to the founding of this household, the embeddedness of its conversations within the fabric of the ordinary, and the issues which were raised in the course of its finding its own way. In the final chapter of this thesis, attention is paid to the matter of the evaluation of such therapeutic households, and to their relevance to the current social policy of psychiatric 'care in the community'.

description: Statistical modeling is a key component in the extraction of physical results from lattice field theory calculations. Although the general models used are often strongly motivated by physics, many model variations can frequently be considered for the same lattice data. Model averaging, which amounts to a probability-weighted average over all model variations, can incorporate systematic errors associated with model choice without being overly conservative. We discuss the framework of model averaging from the perspective of Bayesian statistics, and give useful formulae and approximations for the particular case of least-squares fitting, commonly used in modeling lattice results. In addition, we frame the common problem of data subset selection (e.g. choice of minimum and maximum time separation for fitting a two-point correlation function) as a model selection problem and study model averaging as a straightforward alternative to manual selection of fit ranges. Numerical examples involving both mock and real lattice data are given.

The dust-eliminated shape of quasar spectra in the near-infrared: a hidden part of the big blue bump

description: The near-infrared shape of the big blue bump component in quasar spectra has been essentially unknown. It usually cannot be observed directly, due to the strong hot dust emission which dominates quasar spectra longward of ~1micron. However this is quite an important part of the spectrum theoretically. At least bare disk models provide quite a robust prediction for the overall continuum shape in the near-infrared. Self-gravity should become important in the outer, near-infrared emitting regions of the putative disk, possibly leaving a signature of disk truncation in the near-infrared. We propose here that this important part of the spectrum can be revealed for the first time by observing polarized flux from normal quasars. At least in some polarized quasars, the emission lines are all unpolarized and so the polarized flux should originate interior to the broad line region, and therefore also interior to the dust emitting region. This can then be used to eliminate the dust emission. We present the results of near-infrared polarimetry for such three quasars (Ton202, 4C37.43, B2 1208+32). The data for Ton202 have the highest S/N, and the near-infrared polarized flux in this case is measured to have quite a blue shape, nu^+0.42+-0.29 in F_nu, intriguingly consistent with the simple multi-temperature black body, bare disk prediction of nu^+1/3. All these data, although still with quite low S/N for the other two objects, demonstrate the unique potential of the technique with future better data. We also present similar data for other quasars and radio galaxies, and briefly discuss the nature of the polarization.

Searching for common understanding : parent and teacher beliefs about the role of parents in young children's literacy development
Creators: name: Porter, Patricia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study explored the beliefs and expectations of parents and teachers in an inner city, multicultural elementary school about the role of parents in helping their children's literacy development. A qualitative, case study methodology was used to gather data from 25 parents and 13 teachers in the school. Five support staff members were also interviewed. The research questions addressed by the study were: (1) What beliefs and expectations do parents and teachers hold about parents' roles in children's early literacy development? (2) What, if any, are the common areas of understanding between parents and teachers that may be used to promote the development of effective parent/teacher partnerships? (3) How can the family literacy programs in the school be adapted to increase the communication alignment between parents and teachers? The responses from participants in the study indicated differences in how parents and teachers perceived the role of the parents in helping their children learn and that these differences had implications for home/school communication and the development of parent/teacher relationships. Teachers' and parents' perceptions of the parents' role in helping children's literacy development are categorized into four groups: Parent as Carer; Parent as Supporter; Parent as Developer; and Parent as Nurturer. The communication difficulties that existed between the teachers and the parents from each category are discussed. A framework of analysis was created to consider how the family literacy programs offered in the school afforded opportunities for building common understanding. The study identified some of the difficulties faced by teachers and parents as they work together to support young children's literacy development and suggests ways for bridging and accommodating these differences.

description: We present a minimal approach to the generation of the baryon ($B$) asymmetry of the Universe, in which the asymmetry is generated in a complex inflaton condensate via $B$-violating quadratic inflaton potential terms using the Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism. We show that the $B$-violating quadratic mass terms create an oscillating asymmetry in the complex inflaton condensate at late times. The final asymmetry transferred to the Standard Model sector at reheating is naturally reduced to the magnitude of the observed $B$ asymmetry by the effect of averaging over the $B$ oscillations. This approach to baryogenesis can easily be realised in a wide range of inflation models. We also show that AD baryogenesis via inflaton mass terms is free of the tuning of field dynamics required by the conventional AD mechanism.

Late Leptogenesis from Radiative Soft Terms

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We point out that the so-called ``soft leptogenesis'' can occur at TeV scale if the $B$ term is generated through radiative corrections which involve two-loop diagrams with the gaugino exchange. This mechasnism requires the non-trivial CP phase, ${Im}(A m_{1/2}^*)\neq 0$, and can naturally explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe associated with the TeV scale seesaw mechanism. Such a low scale leptogenesis would be a promising option in view of the tight upper limit on the reheat temperature avoiding the gravitino problem in supergravity models.

title: Relationships in the Interbank Market
Creators: name: Chiu, Jonathan
name: Monnet, Cyril
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2016

description: In the interbank market for overnight loans, banks sometimes trade below the central bank's deposit rate. This act is puzzling, as it seems to miss exploiting opportunities for arbitrage. In particular, why do banks lend to other banks, exposing themselves to counterparty risk, when they could earn a higher rate by depositing the balances at a risk-free central bank?

This paper provides a theory to explain this anomaly. In the presence of market frictions, banks are motivated to build long-term relationships with each other to save the costs of searching for new partners every day. In this setting, lenders may sometimes cut the lending rate in the short run to keep their long-term relationship going. This relationship premium helps explain why some banks trade below the central bank's deposit rate, especially when they have a lot of liquidity.

The model also helps us understand how monetary policy affects the network structure of the interbank market and the way this market functions. In a recently published updated version of this paper, we use a calibrated version of the model to study interbank trades in the Euro area.
description: Sur le marché interbancaire à un jour, les banques pratiquent parfois des taux inférieurs au taux de rémunération des dépôts de la banque centrale. Cette pratique est curieuse, car elle semble négliger les possibilités d’arbitrage. En particulier, pourquoi les banques prêtent-elles à d’autres banques, s’exposant ainsi à un risque de contrepartie, alors qu’elles pourraient réaliser un meilleur rendement en déposant ces fonds à la banque centrale, où ils ne seront exposés à aucun risque?

Dans ce document de travail, nous présentons une théorie pour expliquer cette anomalie : la présence de frictions de marché incite les banques à établir des relations durables entre elles afin d’éviter une coûteuse recherche quotidienne de nouveaux partenaires. Dans ce contexte, les prêteurs réduisent parfois le taux d’intérêt débiteur à court terme pour entretenir une relation à long terme. Cette prime de relation permet d’expliquer pourquoi certaines banques pratiquent à l’occasion des taux inférieurs au taux de rémunération des dépôts de la banque centrale, surtout lorsqu’elles disposent d’importantes liquidités.

Le modèle nous aide aussi à comprendre l’influence qu’exerce la politique monétaire sur la structure de réseau et le fonctionnement du marché des prêts interbancaires. Dans une version récemment mise à jour de ce document de recherche, nous utilisons une version étalonnée du modèle pour étudier les opérations interbancaires dans la zone euro.

description: We continue the study begun in Karasev et al. (2018) and present the results of our optical identifications of four hard X-ray sources from the INTEGRAL sky surveys. Having first improved the positions of these objects in the sky with the X-ray telescope (XRT) of the Swift observatory, we have identified their counterparts using optical and infrared sky survey data. Then, we have obtained optical spectra for the supposed counterparts with the RTT-150 Russian-Turkish telescope and the AZT-33IK telescope. This has allowed the nature of the objects under study to be established. The sources IGR J11079+7106 and IGR J12171+7047 have turned out to be extragalactic in nature and be Seyfert 1 and 2 galaxies, respectively, with the second object being characterized by a large absorption column density. The source IGR J18165-3912 is most likely an intermediate polar with a very high luminosity. The fourth source, IGR J20596+4303, is a chance superposition of two objects - a Seyfert 2 galaxy and a cataclysmic variable.

description: X-ray observations have revealed that many microquasars and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) exhibit narrow absorption features identified with resonant absorption from Fe XXV and Fe XXVI and other abundant ions. In many well studied systems there is evidence for blue-shifts, indicating outflowing plasmas. We succesfully model the changes in both the X-ray continuum and the Fe absorption features during dips from all the bright dipping LMXBs observed by XMM-Newton (EXO 0748-676, XB 1254-690, X 1624-490, MXB 1659-298, 4U 1746-371 and XB 1916-053) as resulting primarily from an increase in column density and a decrease in the ionization state of a highly-ionized absorber in a similar way as was done for 4U 1323-62. This implies that the complex spectral changes in the X-ray continua observed from the dip sources as a class can be most simply explained primarily by changes in the highly ionized absorbers present in these systems. There is no need to invoke unusual abundances or partial covering of extended emission regions. Outside of the dips, the absorption line properties do not vary strongly with orbital phase. This implies that the ionized plasma has a cylindrical geometry with a maximum column density close to the plane of the accretion disk. Since dipping sources are simply normal LMXBs viewed from close to the orbital plane this implies that ionized plasmas are a common feature of LMXBs.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) enabled products and services are becoming a staple of everyday life. While governments and businesses are eager to enjoy the benefits of AI innovations, the mixed impact of these autonomous and intelligent systems on human well-being has become a pressing issue. This article introduces one of the first international standards focused on the social and ethical implications of AI: The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) Standard (Std) 7010-2020 Recommended Practice for Assessing the Impact of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems on Human Well-being. Incorporating well-being factors throughout the lifecycle of AI is both challenging and urgent and IEEE 7010 provides key guidance for those who design, deploy, and procure these technologies. We begin by articulating the benefits of an approach for AI centered around well-being and the measurement of well-being data. Next, we provide an overview of IEEE 7010, including its key principles and how the standard relates to approaches and perspectives in place in the AI community. Finally, we indicate where future efforts are needed.

description: We study voltage driven translocation of a single stranded (ss) DNA through a membrane channel. Our model, based on a master equation (ME) approach, investigates the probability density function (pdf) of the translocation times, and shows that it can be either double or mono-peaked, depending on the system parameters. We show that the most probable translocation time is proportional to the polymer length, and inversely proportional to the first or second power of the voltage, depending on the initial conditions. The model recovers experimental observations on hetro-polymers when using their properties inside the pore, such as stiffness and polymer-pore interaction.

Evoke (y)our authentic: an (auto)ethnographic exploration of my higher education classroom(s)
Creators: name: Hauke, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: This ethnographic work explores the concept of authenticity in the higher education classroom – specifically in my own first, second and third/fourth year undergraduate Change Makers classrooms. Presented as an evocative auto- and other ethnography, the research details a cross-sectional insight into my own and my students’ experiences during a single academic year at a STEMM-focussed, research-intensive university. As my role entails the design and delivery of the highly interactive, student-centred Change Makers modules, this work specifically explores the interplay between the design, teaching and research domains. This exploratory work brings the highly reflexive (auto)ethnographic lens not only to the experience under study, but to the conduct of such work, examining philosophical, epistemological and ontological issues arising from the aims, method and analysis within this research. Rather than accounting for, mitigating or otherwise trying to control the messy and problematic nature of this type of highly subjective and qualitative work, the research aims to surface and exploit these very issues to generate deeper, more complex and polysemous insights into our classroom experiences. Privileging the integrity and wholeness of the ethnographic story-world and the experiences within, the narrative attempts to situate all component parts of the research within that story-world, both revealed and contained by the autoethnographic authorial exposition. Embracing all of the above, this thesis subverts the norms of academic writing to capture existentialist sensibilities towards the notion, exploration and expression of authenticity. Notably, the work attempts to centre the role, experiences and insights of the reader in the conduct and communication of the analysis, whilst using varied and creative methods to present student voices alongside those of the author within the narrative.

description: Standard bifurcation theory is concerned with families of vector fields $dx/dt = f(x,λ)$, $x \in \R^n$, involving one or several constant real parameters $λ$. Viewed as a differential equation for the pair $(x,λ)$, we observe a foliation of the total phase space by constant $λ$. Frequently, the presence of a trivial stationary solution $x=0$ is also imposed: $0 = f(0,λ)$. Bifurcation without parameters, in contrast, discards the foliation by a constant parameter $λ$. Instead, we consider systems $dx/dt = f(x,y), dy/dt = g(x,y)$. Standard bifurcation theory then corresponds to the special case $y=λ, g=0$. To preserve only the trivial solution $x=0$, instead, we only require $0 = f(0,y) = g(0,y)$ for all $y$. A rich dynamic phenomenology arises, when normal hyperbolicity of the trivial stationary manifold $x=0$ fails, due to zero or purely imaginary eigenvalues of the Jacobian $f_x(0,y)$. Specifically, we address the cases of failure of normal hyperbolicity due to a simple eigenvalue zero, a simple purely imaginary pair (Hopf bifurcation without parameters), a double eigenvalue zero (Takens-Bogdanov bifurcation without parameters), and due to a double eigenvalue zero with additional time reversal symmetries. The results are joint work with Andrei Afendikov, James C. Alexander, and Stefan Liebscher.
Centrality, transverse momentum and collision energy dependence of the Tsallis parameters in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

description: The thermodynamic properties of matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions have been studied in the framework of the non-extensive Tsallis statistics. The transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$)~spectra of identified charged particles (pions, kaons, protons) and all charged particles from the available experimental data of Au-Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) energies and Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies are fitted by the Tsallis distribution. The fit parameters, $q$ and $T$ measure the degree of deviation from an equilibrium state and the effective temperature of the thermalized system, respectively. The $p_{\rm T}$~spectra are well described by the Tsallis distribution function from peripheral to central collisions for the wide range of collision energies, from $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 7.7 GeV to 5.02 TeV. The extracted Tsallis parameters are found to be dependent on the particle species, collision energy, centrality, and fitting ranges in $p_{\rm T}$. For central collisions, both $q$ and $T$ depend strongly on the fit ranges in $p_{\rm T}$. For most of the collision energies, $q$ remains almost constant as a function of centrality, whereas $T$ increases from peripheral to central collisions. For a given centrality, $q$ systematically increases as a function of collision energy whereas $T$ has a decreasing trend. A profile plot of $q$ and $T$ with respect to collision energy and centrality shows an anti-correlation between the two parameters.

description: This paper uses regional data for Western Europe to explore relative and absolute farmland size inequality and farm size concentration, demonstrating that specific indicators provide somewhat differing country characterisations. The paper uses exploratory spatial data analysis techniques to measure the degree of spatial dependence in farm size at a NUTS2 level. Regional farm size clusters are identified, some of which straddle national borders. The results have policy implications, demonstrating that the association between land inequality and farm productivity and resistance to change in farm support structures may relate to pan national regional considerations more so than national concerns. The research is conducted at a NUTS3 level for the Italian case and these findings suggest that the level of spatial disaggregation is an important consideration.

description: Training recurrent neural networks on long texts, in particular scholarly documents, causes problems for learning. While hierarchical attention networks (HANs) are effective in solving these problems, they still lose important information about the structure of the text. To tackle these problems, we propose the use of HANs combined with structure-tags which mark the role of sentences in the document. Adding tags to sentences, marking them as corresponding to title, abstract or main body text, yields improvements over the state-of-the-art for scholarly document quality prediction. The proposed system is applied to the task of accept/reject prediction on the PeerRead dataset and compared against a recent BiLSTM-based model and joint textual+visual model as well as against plain HANs. Compared to plain HANs, accuracy increases on all three domains. On the computation and language domain our new model works best overall, and increases accuracy 4.7% over the best literature result. We also obtain improvements when introducing the tags for prediction of the number of citations for 88k scientific publications that we compiled from the Allen AI S2ORC dataset. For our HAN-system with structure-tags we reach 28.5% explained variance, an improvement of 1.8% over our reimplementation of the BiLSTM-based model as well as 1.0% improvement over plain HANs.
