Hitting the Books and Pounding the Pavement: Haitian Educational and Labor Migrants in the Dominican Republic

description: What do the practices and subjectivities of migrants disclose about the political economy and society of their host country? What meanings do they attach to working or studying abroad? What can be done to manage life while mitigating the effects of the state, the market, and xenophobia? This dissertation examines two relatively new distinct populations-Haitian university students and workers--in order to examine how class mediates migration experiences. More specifically, I considered how migrants, or what I call mobilites, live and understand their specific engagements with the state, market, and society across differences in race, class, gender, and citizenship. Their actual experiences of incorporation belie neoliberal understandings that would posit a neat alignment of their lives along a vector indexing the market value of their skills. In this monograph, I show how early 21st century Dominican Republic developed its particular economy and the political, legal, social, and spatial dynamics of Santo Domingo as a neoliberal capital city. Using that as context, I describe what the experiences of these students and workers reveal about the state and the economy of the Dominican Republic. Educational mobilites manage their educational studies in the context of the pressures of modern capitalism and of xenophobia within their host country. Labor mobilites, for their part, create subjectivities based upon specific meanings of work and interaction with the state, the market, and others in the street to inform their overall economic participation. The labor process and the commodity chains of the various trades in which Haitians participate reveal engagements with and contributions to various types of global flows. I found that through the practice of these trades, the Dominican state plays a role both the creation of Haitian entrepreneurs as well as the occasional stifling of their businesses. Analyzing their work also shows how the market might appear to mitigate anti-Haitianism. Along with their labor practices, Haitians create subjectivities related to their role as workers and as urban residents to facilitate their life in the neoliberal city. Inspired by the work of David Harvey, who states (2001) that the process of capital accumulation thrives upon and generates difference, and drawing on concepts from anthropology, mobility studies, political economy, and urban studies, I argue that examining the practices and subjectivities of these two groups reveal globalizations of a middling kind, one that is neither akin to that of a transnational elite nor of an ethnic underclass.

description: For differential operators which are invariant under the action of an abelian group Bloch theory is the preferred tool to analyze spectral properties. By shedding some new non-commutative light on this we motivate the introduction of a non-commutative Bloch theory for elliptic operators on Hilbert C*-modules. It relates properties of C*-algebras to spectral properties of module operators such as band structure, weak genericity of cantor spectra, and absence of discrete spectrum. It applies e.g. to differential operators invariant under a projective group action, such as Schroedinger, Dirac and Pauli operators with periodic magnetic field, as well as to discrete models, such as the almost Matthieu equation and the quantum pendulum.

Ecosystem restoration versus reclamation : the value of managing for biodiversity
Creators: name: Burton, Philip J.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Recent public demands for the preservation of biological diversity are often using this concept as a surrogate for the value of rare species, nature preserves, and wilderness. But diversity per se can have value in intensively managed and artificial ecosystems as well, suggesting that maybe we should practice ecosystem "restoration" more than just land reclamation". If a plant community is to be long-lived or self-sustaining, then natural diversity and processes provide a useful model to follow. Information on the value of biodiversity can be divided into utilitarian, ecological and ethical/aesthetic categories. All arguments must consider issues of sampling and management scales, the separate richness and equitability components of diversity, and natural trends in diversity. Utilitarian arguments center on the fact that we cannot now identify which individual species are critical to ecosystem sustainabiliry, nor which individual species may be useful to humans in the future. Additional ecological values of diversity stem from the unsuspected complexity of ecosystems. Many individual species hold "keystone" roles in defining overall system behaviour, affecting both stability and productivity. Additional human-centered and biocentric concerns also argue for the preservation and enhancement of biological diversity in managed as well as natural landscapes. Efforts to restore biological diversity provide a useful means of experimenting with the factors controlling ecosystem struture and function.

description: In this paper, a new computational method for the purpose of multimodal vibration mitigation using multiple tuned mass dampers is proposed. Classically, the minimization of the maximum amplitude is carried out using direct $H_\infty$ optimization. However, as shall be shown in the paper, this approach is prone to being trapped in local minima, in view of the nonsmooth character of the problem at hand. This is why this paper presents an original alternative to this approach through norm-homotopy optimization. This approach, combined with an efficient technique to compute the structural response, is shown to outperform direct $H_\infty$ optimization in terms of speed and performance. Essentially, the outcome of the algorithm leads to the concept of all-equal-peak design for which all the controlled peaks are equal in amplitude. This unique design is new with respect to the existing body of knowledge.

description: In the era of globalization, every organization or company is required to have a differentiation advantage that can be used as an additional weapon to face competitors. Companies in the face of threats and challenges that arise can implement the right strategy that aligns with the core advantages. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the effect of the implementation of responsibility accounting and strategy on organizational performance. The population of this research is all managers of an organization in Indonesia, amounting to 130 people. The sampling technique is carried out with a "non-probability sampling" approach with the "purposive sampling" method. The analytical model used to test the proposed hypothesis is multiple linear regression by checking the compatibility of the F test model and testing the test hypothesis t. The results of the study prove that the Implementation of Responsibility Accounting and Strategy Implementation influences organizational performance. In this case, the influence is a positive influence. This positive influence implies that the organization must have responsibility for accounting and implement it in the operational activities of the organization. Also, strategies must be created and indeed implemented so that organizational performance increases and has competitive advantages.

description: Historical processes during the Quaternary are likely to have left a signature on the geographical distribution of intraspecific genetic variation. In particular, high genetic uniqueness could be expected within glacial refugia for multiple species. We aimed to test this for plants in China and whether multi-species hotspots of genetic diversity are good indicators of glacial refugia in this region. From chloroplast DNA haplotype data for 116 species we calculated two local genetic diversity metrics for each species: haplotype genetic richness and genetic uniqueness. From these two, only uniqueness could reliably identify refugia, whereas richness may indicate either glacial refugia or areas recolonized by genetic lineages from different refugia in the postglacial period. Our results suggest the occurrence of numerous cryptic refugia and their likely importance in the maintenance and evolution of the Chinese flora, and indicate that an approach that locates geographic hotspots of genetic diversity data can reliably identify refugia.

description: The problem of designing a multiple description vector quantizer with lattice codebook Lambda is considered. A general solution is given to a labeling problem which plays a crucial role in the design of such quantizers. Numerical performance results are obtained for quantizers based on the lattices A_2 and Z^i, i=1,2,4,8, that make use of this labeling algorithm. The high-rate squared-error distortions for this family of L-dimensional vector quantizers are then analyzed for a memoryless source with probability density function p and differential entropy h(p) < infty. For any a in (0,1) and rate pair (R,R), it is shown that the two-channel distortion d_0 and the channel 1 (or channel 2) distortions d_s satisfy lim_{R -> infty} d_0 2^(2R(1+a)) = (1/4) G(Lambda) 2^{2h(p)} and lim_{R -> infty} d_s 2^(2R(1-a)) = G(S_L) 2^2h(p), where G(Lambda) is the normalized second moment of a Voronoi cell of the lattice Lambda and G(S_L) is the normalized second moment of a sphere in L dimensions.

MDFEM: Multivariate decomposition finite element method for elliptic PDEs with lognormal diffusion coefficients using higher-order QMC and FEM

description: We introduce the multivariate decomposition finite element method for elliptic PDEs with lognormal diffusion coefficient $a=\exp(Z)$ where $Z$ is a Gaussian random field defined by an infinite series expansion $Z(\boldsymbol{y}) = \sum_{j\ge1} y_j\,ϕ_j$ with $y_j\sim\mathcal{N}(0,1)$ and a given sequence of functions $\{ϕ_j\}_{j\ge1}$. We use the MDFEM to approximate the expected value of a linear functional of the solution of the PDE which is an infinite-dimensional integral over the parameter space. The proposed algorithm uses the multivariate decomposition method (MDM) to compute the infinite-dimensional integral by a decomposition into finite-dimensional integrals, which we resolve using quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, and for which we use the finite element method (FEM) to solve different instances of the PDE. We develop higher-order quasi-Monte Carlo rules for integration over the finite-dimensional Euclidean space with respect to the Gaussian distribution by use of a truncation strategy. By linear transformations of interlaced polynomial lattice rules from the unit cube to a multivariate box of the Euclidean space we achieve higher-order convergence rates for functions belonging to a class of anchored Gaussian Sobolev spaces, taking into account the truncation error. Under appropriate conditions, the MDFEM achieves higher-order convergence rates in term of error versus cost, i.e., to achieve an accuracy of $O(ε)$ the computational cost is $O(ε^{-1/λ-d'/λ}) = O(ε^{-(p^*+d'/τ)/(1-p^*)})$ where $ε^{-1/λ}$ and $ε^{-d'/λ}$ are respectively the cost of the quasi-Monte Carlo cubature and the finite element approximations, with $d' = d \, (1+δ')$ for some $δ' \ge 0$ and $d$ the physical dimension, and $0 < p^* \le (2+d'/τ)^{-1}$ is a parameter representing the sparsity of $\{ϕ_j\}_{j\ge1}$.

description: By design, model-based approaches for flagging transiting exoplanets in light curves, such as boxed least squares, excel at detecting planets with low S/N at the expense of finding signals that are not well described by the assumed model, such as self-lensing binaries, disintegrating or evaporating planets, or planets with large rings. So far, such signals have typically been found through visual searches by professional or citizen scientists, or by inspection of the photometric power-spectra. We present a nonparametric detection algorithm, for short duty-cycle periodic signals in photometric time series based on phase dispersion minimization. We apply our code to 161,786 Kepler sources and detect 18 new periodic signals consistent with heartbeat binaries/planets, 4 new singly-transiting systems, and 2 new doubly-transiting systems. We show that our code is able to recover the majority of known Kepler objects of interest (KOIs) to high confidence, as well as more unusual events such as Boyajian's star and a comet passing through the Kepler field. Nonparametric signal-flagging techniques, such as the one presented here, will become increasingly valuable with the coming data from TESS and future transit surveys as the volume of data available to us exceeds that which can be feasibly examined manually.

Absence of "fractional ac Josephson effect" in superconducting junctions

description: We develop a microscopic theory of ac Josephson effect in superconducting junctions described by an arbitrary scattering matrix that may include magnetic effects. In the limit of constant in time bias voltage $V$ applied to the junction we derive a formally exact current-phase relation (CPR) that is manifestly $2π$-periodic in the Josephson phase $φ$ in full accordance with general principles. This our result unambiguously argues against the idea of the so-called "fractional ac Josephson effect" admitting $4π$-periodic in $φ$ CPR. We also demonstrate that at any non-zero $V$ quantum dynamics of Andreev bound states becomes non-Hermitian which signals their instability, thus making any 'quasi-equilibrium' description of ac Josephson effect unreliable. We specifically address the limit of highly transparent junctions with magnetic scattering where -- along with super- and excess current terms -- at small $V$ we also recover a non-trivial $2π$-periodic dissipative current with the amplitude $\propto |V|^{1/3}$

description: We present in this paper a geometric theorem which clarifies and extends in several directions work of Brownawell, Kollar and others on the effective Nullstellensatz. To begin with, we work on an arbitrary smooth complex projective variety X, with previous results corresponding to the case when X is projective space. In this setting we prove a local effective Nullstellensatz for ideal sheaves, and a corresponding global division theorem for adjoint-type bundles. We also make explicit the connection with the intersection theory of Fulton and MacPherson. Finally, constructions involving products of prime ideals that appear in earlier work are replaced by geometrically more natural conditions involving order of vanishing along subvarieties. The main technical inputs are vanishing theorems, which are used to give a simple algebro-geometric proof of a theorem of Skoda type, which may be of independent interest.

description: In 1972, Robert May triggered a worldwide research program studying ecological communities using random matrix theory. Yet, it remains unclear if and when we can treat real communities as random ecosystems. Here, we draw on recent progress in random matrix theory and statistical physics to extend May's approach to generalized consumer-resource models. We show that in diverse ecosystems adding even modest amounts of noise to consumer preferences results in a transition to "typicality" where macroscopic ecological properties of communities are indistinguishable from those of random ecosystems, even when resource preferences have prominent designed structures. We test these ideas using numerical simulations on a wide variety of ecological models. Our work offers an explanation for the success of random consumer-resource models in reproducing experimentally observed ecological patterns in microbial communities and highlights the difficulty of scaling up bottom-up approaches in synthetic ecology to diverse communities.

description: Paracymboides gen. n.
 TYPE SPECIES: Paracymboides tibialis sp. n.
ETYMOLOGY: The generic name refers to the peculiar shape of the paracymbium; gender masculine.
DIAGNOSIS: The new genus is characterized by the highly modified palpal tibia, the narrow, long and mammoth-tusk-like paracymbium, the simple embolic division with a long embolus, and the well-developed median membrane.

Holding Onto Millennial Teachers: Learning From Aspiring Leaders’ Experiences About Why They Stay

Subjects: Educational leadership

description: This qualitative case study explores with 15 millennial educators, the factors that influenced their decision to stay and progress as leaders within the context of a high-attrition environment. The following assumptions held to be true: (1) the generation-specific retention needs of Millennials are applicable to educators across generations.; (2) high-quality professional development is a key factor in retaining teachers; (3) to provide high-quality support for teachers, schools must carefully craft an effective holding environment that is differentiated developmentally. The site for the study was a high-poverty urban charter network in the Northeastern United States that struggled to retain teachers. The primary sources of data were interviews with 15 millennial teacher leaders, a focus group of five principals, and a document analysis. The findings were analyzed through the four lenses presented in the conceptual framework: motivation for staying, how they learn, what they learn, and reactions to the pandemic. Each of these lenses directly aligned to the study’s four research questions. The analysis served to code the disaggregated data per these four lenses and the synthesis served to reveal teacher perceptions falling into three categories that were then used to further interpret the analysis. The major findings were: (1) A strong majority of participants indicated they were motivated to stay in a high attrition environment because they liked their colleagues; while an equal number cited the positive school culture as a contributing factor to their retention. (2) A slight majority of participants indicated that the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to be innovative. (3) A majority of participants indicated a desire to develop their capacity for learning and leading. (4) A strong majority of participants described they learned largely in informal ways by dialoguing with others and through observation. The principal recommendation from this study is that in order to retain teachers in a high attrition environment, there must be a positive school culture. Schools that want to retain employees need to 1) provide learning opportunities and support the development of leadership skills and 2) support and provide the resources for informal adult learning to maintain this culture.
Political Triage: Health and the State in Myanmar (Burma)

Publisher: name: The Australian National University

Subjects: Myanmar, Burma, health, state, society, politics

description: In 1988, the military government in Myanmar abandoned the socialist ideology and isolationism that had shaped the state since independence, embarking on a transition to an open economy and engagement of the international community. ¶ Where socialism had failed, economic development and partnerships with former insurgent groups became the new strategy to advance the military’s security agenda. The primary goal of the security agenda is to promote state consolidation based on a unitary state structure, and according to military values and interests. However, the military’s goals are antagonistic to much of the country’s population, especially its ethnic minority groups. Consequently, the military lacks moral authority, and is preoccupied with maintaining its power and seeking legitimacy. The state is oriented to regime maintenance rather than policy implementation, leaving the regime without autonomy to pursue policy goals outside of its security agenda. ¶ The changing nature of the state, and state-society relations during the period of transition is revealed by trends in social development. Specifically, this thesis explores these issues through a case study of the health system.

We introduce a method that gives a sequence of algebraic approximations to the equation of each limit cycle of the system. This sequence seems to converge to the exact equation of each limit cycle. We obtain also a sequence of polynomials R_n(x) whose roots of odd multiplicity are related to the number and location of the limit cycles of the system.

description: Spectral shift principle was applied to modify resonance absorption in 232Th in a (232Th233U)O2 fueled model of the Czech research LR-0 reactor. The aim was to obtain the best fuel utilization by varying the ratio of D2O/H2O in the moderator. MCNP code was used to model the LR-0 reactor. 11 different D2O / H2O mixtures viz.; 0%, 10%, …., 90%, 100% D2O were investigated. Conversion ratio of 232Th to 233U was maximal at 100% D2O

description: We study the relaxation of a topologically non-trivial vortex braid with zero net helicity in a barotropic fluid. The aim is to investigate the extent to which the topology of the vorticity field -- characterized by braided vorticity field lines -- determines the dynamics, particularly the asymptotic behaviour under vortex reconnection in an evolution at high Reynolds numbers 25,000. Analogous to the evolution of braided magnetic fields in plasma, we find that the relaxation of our vortex braid leads to a simplification of the topology into large-scale regions of opposite swirl, consistent with an inverse cascade of the helicity. The change of topology is facilitated by a cascade of vortex reconnection events. During this process the existence of regions of positive and negative kinetic helicity imposes a lower bound for the kinetic energy. For the enstrophy we derive analytically a lower bound given by the presence of unsigned kinetic helicity, which we confirm in our numerical experiments.

description: What explains variation in fiscal capacity over time and across sub-national units within the same country? In this dissertation, I  argue that incumbent political elites, anticipating the redistributive consequences of democratization, can hollow out fiscal capacity. Places where such a phenomenon is likely to occur are those characterized by high levels of social-status inequality arising from historical inter-group segregation. I examine fiscal capacity in colonial Indian provinces and demonstrate that an exogenous episode of limited franchise expansion to lower-status groups was followed by a period of declining fiscal institutions. I use a novel historical dataset spanning 43 districts in the provinces of Madras and Bombay between 1914--1925 and qualitative evidence from legislative proceedings in the two provinces, and find that tax institutions declined in the districts with higher levels of status inequality, as opposed to inequality in wealth. This decline was more pronounced in the reform years, as upper-status groups anticipating the ascendance of lower-status groups into politics hollowed out tax institutions.  Next, I examine a case of political mobilization in contemporary India and demonstrate that an announcement by the Government of India in 1990 to implement affirmative action for lower-status groups was followed by a rise in the right-wing vote share for the Bharatiya Janata Party after 1990.  Using survey data and electoral data, I finds that both wealthy and poor upper-status Indians voted for the right-wing after 1990 in places where there was greater status inequality in 1931 -- a pattern that did not exist in previous elections. These findings provide evidence for the claim that when upper-status groups face threats to their social standing, cross-class solidarities emerge in support of anti-redistribution parties.

description: The spectrum of finite-difference two-magnon operator is investigated for quantum S=1/2 chain with variable range exchange of the form $h(j-k)\propto \sinh^{-2}a(j-k)$. It is found that usual bound state appears for some values of the total pseudomomentum of two magnons as for the Heisenberg chain with nearest-neighbor spin interaction. Besides this state, a new type of bound state with oscillating wave function appears at larger values of the total pseudomomentum.

An integrated mineral development/mine rehabilitation program for the Province of Ontario
Creators: name: Walters, D. G.

description: Ontario assumes a world class status in the production of many mineral commodities. To maintain this position in the world mining community, the province relies on the production from approximately 60 mines extending across the vastness of the province. An active exploration and mineral development program is essential in maintaining this status. Growing concern of the public and government with respect to the environment has led the mining industry to adopt new and enlightening environmental policies. In Ontario, changes to legislation regulating the industry have significantly changed the role of the mineral development program. On June 3, 1991 the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines assumed responsibility for Mine Rehabilitation. This paper will highlight the expectations with respect to mine rehabilitation for producers in the province along with the Ministry' s philosophy concerning the relationship between mineral development and rehabilitation programs.

description: A series of C-centered heteroscorpionate-based homoleptic manganese(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes of type [M(L1–3)2] (1–9) have been synthesized by using the ligands (2-hydroxyphenyl)bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (HL1), (4-diethylamino-2-hydroxyphenyl)bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (HL2) and (5-bromo-2-hydroxyphenyl)bis(imidazol-1-yl)methane (HL3). The geometric parameters of the complexes were determined using UV-vis and theoretical studies suggesting distorted octahedral geometry around metal(II) ion. Frontier molecular orbital analysis supports bioefficacy of the complexes. Antimicrobial activity of the metal(II) complexes were determined against two Gram(–ve) (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and two Gram(+ve) (Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria, and three fungal (Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Candida krusei) strains. Antioxidant activity of nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes were evaluated against ABTS, DPPH, and H2O2 free radicals. In vitro cytotoxicity activity of nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes against human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), cervical (HeLa), and lung (A549) cancer cell lines along with one normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) cell line were carried out by MTT assay, which shows the potent activity of copper(II) complex 8 with respect to the standard drug cisplatin. Molecular docking studies evidence the interaction of complexes with cyclin-dependent kinase 2 receptor (CDK2).

description: The degree of a projective subscheme has an upper bound in term of the codimension and the reduction number. If a projective variety has an almost maximal degree, that is, the degree equals to the upper bound minus one, then its Betti table has been described explicitly. We build on this work by showing that for most of such varieties, the defining ideals are componentwise linear and in particular the componentwise linearity is suitable for classifying the Betti tables of such varieties. As an application, we compute the Betti table of all varieties with almost maximal degree and componentwise linear resolution.
