DISCIPLINARY DIFFERENCES IN THE IMPACT OF DEGREE LOCATION ON IMMIGRANT EARNINGS IN CANADA
Creators: name: Cao, Ruishu
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: This study uses 2016 Canadian Census data to examine the impact of the location of education on immigrant income in ten academic disciplines. Although past studies have touched on the penalties that foreign-educated immigrants encounter, the value and portability of foreign educational credentials is seldom empirically tested by discipline. Immigrants may be intrinsically more likely to experience the “social closure” or “opportunity hoarding” imposed by the existing social groups in the host country, and with the addition of the context of “credentialism” and “global stratification in higher education”, immigrants with educational credentials from the low-income developing countries may face greater barriers in integrating and achieving socioeconomic mobility in the Canadian labour force. Findings indicate that more severe earnings penalties are imposed on foreign degrees in the fields of business and law. Immigrant wage gaps in the arts and humanities and in social sciences are unremarkable, where immigrant earnings are often concentrated in lower figures regardless of where one’s degree was obtained. Although there is no consistency regarding which global region’s educational degrees are always valued most, overall, North American educational degrees are more economically competitive in the Canadian labour force, and in a select few disciplines immigrants with U.S. degrees can even exceed the earnings of immigrants with Canadian degrees.

description: There has been speculation of a class of relativistic explosions with an initial Lorentz factor smaller than that of classical Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). These "dirty fireballs" would lack prompt GRB emission but could be pursued via their optical afterglow, appearing as transients that fade overnight. Here we report a search for such transients (transients that fade by 5-$σ$ in magnitude overnight) in four years of archival photometric data from the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF). Our search criteria yielded 45 candidates. Of these, two were afterglows to GRBs that had been found in dedicated follow-up observations to triggers from the Fermi GRB Monitor (GBM). Another (iPTF14yb; Cenko et al. 2015) was a GRB afterglow discovered serendipitously. Two were spurious artifacts of reference image subtraction and one was an asteroid. The remaining 37 candidates have red stellar counterparts in external catalogs. The photometric and spectroscopic properties of the counterparts identify these transients as strong flares from M dwarfs of spectral type M3-M7 at distances of d ~ 0.15-2.1 kpc; two counterparts were already spectroscopically classified as late-type M stars. With iPTF14yb as the only confirmed relativistic outflow discovered independently of a high-energy trigger, we constrain the all-sky rate of transients that peak at m = 18 and fade by $Δ$2 mag in $Δ$3 hr to be 680 per year with a 68% confidence interval of 119-2236 per year. This implies that the rate of visible dirty fireballs is at most comparable to that of the known population of long-duration GRBs.

Student Migration from Kerala, India to Destinations in the Global North: Analysis and Policy Implications
Creators: name: Joseph, Mary Lucia
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: The state of Kerala in India is known for its model of development and attainment of high human development indicators including the highest literacy rate in India. Yet, Kerala is overwhelmed by high unemployment and the outmigration of its residents for opportunities abroad. The popular route of migration from Kerala to the countries of the Persian Gulf has contributed immensely to the financial well-being of the state through remittances for decades. However, in recent years, a decline in the trend of Gulf migration and an increase in the trend of migration of youth to countries of the global north as students is observed in Kerala. This paper analyzed the underlying reasons behind the increased levels of student migration and some of its resulting social and economic impacts on Kerala using a theoretical framework that combines hypotheses based on the push and pull models of migration. The study demonstrates that the decision to migrate may not always be rational, due to the influence of fluctuating factors that transform over time. Meanwhile, the analysis of the currently observable factors fundamentally identifies this wave of migration as a movement of people toward opportunity and a better standard of living compared to what is available in Kerala. Additionally, the perception and knowledge of the conditions in the origin area and destination areas contribute heavily to migration decision-making. In the meantime, concerns about an ageing population, and further economic stagnation reverberates in Kerala as it is losing its young population. Nevertheless, uncertain economic conditions at destination countries also do not rule out the small possibility of a return migration of this stream back to Kerala.

description: Function detection is a well-known problem in binary analysis. While previous research has primarily focused on Linux/ELF, Windows/PE binaries have been overlooked or only partially considered. This paper introduces FuncPEval, a new dataset for Windows x86 and x64 PE files, featuring Chromium and the Conti ransomware, along with ground truth data for 1,092,820 function starts. Utilizing FuncPEval, we evaluate five heuristics-based (Ghidra, IDA, Nucleus, rev.ng, SMDA) and three machine-learning-based (DeepDi, RNN, XDA) function start detection tools. Among the tested tools, IDA achieves the highest F1-score (98.44%) for Chromium x64, while DeepDi closely follows (97%) but stands out as the fastest by a significant margin. Working towards explainability, we examine the impact of padding between functions on the detection results. Our analysis shows that all tested tools, except rev.ng, are susceptible to randomized padding. The randomized padding significantly diminishes the effectiveness for the RNN, XDA, and Nucleus. Among the learning-based tools, DeepDi exhibits the least sensitivity and demonstrates overall the fastest performance, while Nucleus is the most adversely affected among non-learning-based tools. In addition, we improve the recurrent neural network (RNN) proposed by Shin et al. and enhance the XDA tool, increasing the F1-score by approximately 10%.

description: Log analysis and monitoring are essential aspects in software maintenance and identifying defects. In particular, the temporal nature and vast size of log data leads to an interesting and important research question: How can logs be summarised and monitored over time? While this has been a fundamental topic of research in the software engineering community, work has typically focused on heuristic-, syntax-, or static-based methods. In this work, we suggest an online semantic-based clustering approach to error logs that dynamically updates the log clusters to enable monitoring code error life-cycles. We also introduce a novel metric to evaluate the performance of temporal log clusters. We test our system and evaluation metric with an industrial dataset and find that our solution outperforms similar systems. We hope that our work encourages further temporal exploration in defect datasets.

description: Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the driver of many explosive phenomena in Astrophysics, from solar to gamma-ray flares in magnetars and in the Crab nebula. However, reconnection rates from classic MHD models are far too slow to explain such observations. Recently, it was realized that when a current sheet gets sufficiently thin, the reconnection rate of the tearing instability becomes "ideal", in the sense that the current sheet destabilizes on the "macroscopic" Alfvénic timescales, regardless of the Lundquist number of the plasma. Here we present 2D compressible MHD simulations in the classical, Hall, and relativistic regimes. In particular, the onset of secondary tearing instabilities is investigated within Hall-MHD for the first time. In the frame of relativistic MHD, we summarize the main results from Del Zanna et al. [1]: the relativistic tearing instability is found to be extremely fast, with reconnection rates of the order of the inverse of the light crossing time, as required to explain the high-energy explosive phenomena.

description: Motivated by the importance of entanglement and correlation indicators in the analysis of quantum systems, we study the equilibrium and the bipartite residual entropy in a two-species Bose Hubbard dimer when the spatial phase separation of the two species takes place. We consider both the zero and non-zero-temperature regime. We present different kinds of residual entropies (each one associated to a different way of partitioning the system), and we show that they strictly depend on the specific quantum phase characterizing the two species (supermixed, mixed or demixed) even at finite temperature. To provide a deeper physical insight into the zero-temperature scenario, we apply the fully-analytical variational approach based on su(2) coherent states and provide a considerably good approximation of the entanglement entropy. Finally, we show that the effectiveness of bipartite residual entropy as a critical indicator at non-zero temperature is unchanged when considering a restricted combination of energy eigenstates.

Des accusations sont plus susceptibles d’être portées lorsque les femmes étaient en faveur de la politique ou si elles n’étaient pas sûres de souhaiter que des accusations soient portées, ou lorsqu’elles étaient blessées physiquement. • Les femmes qui ont évalué le plus favorablement la mise en accusation obligatoire sont celles dont les partenaires ont été accusés et celles qui étaient indécises mais à la place desquelles la police a déposé des accusations. • Un quart des femmes indiquent qu’il est plus probable qu’elles appellent la police à l’avenir maintenant qu’elles connaissent la politique de mise en accusation obligatoire. Un pourcentage similaire de femmes est moins désireux d’appeler la police à l’avenir. • Transférer à la police la responsabilité de porter des accusations est indiqué comme étant l’un des avantages principaux par les trois groupes. Les autres avantages pour les femmes victimes de violence comprennent la capacité de quitter la relation, la validation que la violence est inadmissible, l’aiguillage vers des ressources dans la communauté et la sécurité des femmes. • Les répercussions négatives pour les femmes victimes de violencevictimes de violence comportent des peines trop légères, un soutien insuffisant des agresseurs et la colère que les accusations provoquent chez les agresseurs. • La police est plus susceptible que les femmes victimes de violencevictimes de violence ou les intervenants de citer comme problème le désarroi des femmes face aux répercussions de leur passage dans le système de justice pénale et le fait que plusieurs femmes ne souhaitent pas que des accusations soient portées contre leur partenaire. • Les trois groupes ont souligné le besoin de soutiens communautaires afin de pleinement dégager les avantages de la mise en accusation obligatoire et en minimiser les conséquences négatives.

description: Any measurement in condition monitoring applications is associated with disturbing noise. Till now, most of the diagnostic procedures have assumed the Gaussian distribution for the noise. This paper shares a novel perspective to the problem of local damage detection. The acquired vector of observations is considered as an additive mixture of signal of interest (SOI) and noise with strongly non-Gaussian, heavy-tailed properties, that masks the SOI. The distribution properties of the background noise influence the selection of tools used for the signal analysis, particularly for local damage detection. Thus, it is extremely important to recognize and identify possible non-Gaussian behavior of the noise. The problem considered here is more general than the classical goodness-of-fit testing. The paper highlights the important role of variance, as most of the methods for signal analysis are based on the assumption of the finite-variance distribution of the underlying signal. The finite variance assumption is crucial but implicit to most indicators used in condition monitoring, (such as the root-mean-square value, the power spectral density, the kurtosis, the spectral correlation, etc.), in view that infinite variance implies moments higher than 2 are also infinite. The problem is demonstrated based on three popular types of non-Gaussian distributions observed for real vibration signals. We demonstrate how the properties of noise distribution in the time domain may change by its transformations to the time-frequency domain (spectrogram). Additionally, we propose a procedure to check the presence of the infinite-variance of the background noise. Our investigations are illustrated using simulation studies and real vibration signals from various machines.

description: The effect of temporary position changes, sitting up from supine, on extracellular (ECW) and intracellular (ICW) resistances and fluid volumes calculated from whole body bioimpedance using a Xitron 4200 impedancemeter was investigated on 8 patients during dialysis for a total of 11 tests. It was found that ECW resistance decreased instantaneously by an average of 2.3% when the patient sits up, due to plasma and interstitial fluid shift into the legs which decreases leg resistance, the major contributor to total resistance. This drop in resistance is incorrectly interpreted by the device as an increase in ECW volume which averages 235 ml. But this effect is completely reversible and both ECW resistance and fluid volume rapidly resume their normal course when the patient returns to his initial position. No significant variation in ICW resistance was observed in any of the patients at the position change. We conclude that segmental impedance, which has been proposed to minimize this artifact, is not advisable in dialysis monitoring and that it is simpler to ignore or switch off measurements during the position change so that later data are not affected by it.

description: Virtual co-embodiment enables two users to share a single avatar in Virtual Reality (VR). During such experiences, the illusion of shared motion control can break during joint-action activities, highlighting the need for position-aware feedback mechanisms. Drawing on the perceptual crossing paradigm, we explore how haptics can enable non-verbal coordination between co-embodied participants. In a within-subjects study (20 participant pairs), we examined the effects of vibrotactile haptic feedback (None, Present) and avatar control distribution (25-75%, 50-50%, 75-25%) across two VR reaching tasks (Targeted, Free-choice) on participants Sense of Agency (SoA), co-presence, body ownership, and motion synchrony. We found (a) lower SoA in the free-choice with haptics than without, (b) higher SoA during the shared targeted task, (c) co-presence and body ownership were significantly higher in the free-choice task, (d) players hand motions synchronized more in the targeted task. We provide cautionary considerations when including haptic feedback mechanisms for avatar co-embodiment experiences.

An optimal SDP algorithm for Max-Cut, and equally optimal Long Code tests

description: Let G be an undirected graph for which the standard Max-Cut SDP relaxation achieves at least a c fraction of the total edge weight, 1/2 <= c <= 1. If the actual optimal cut for G is at most an s fraction of the total edge weight, we say that (c, s) is an SDP gap. We define the SDP gap curve GapSDP : [1/2,1] -> [1/2,1] by GapSDP(c) = inf{s : (c, s) is an SDP gap}. In this paper we complete a long line of work [15, 14, 20, 36, 19, 17, 13, 28] by determining the entire SDP gap curve; we show GapSDP(c) = S(c) for a certain explicit (but complicated to state) function S. In particular, our lower bound GapSDP(c) - S(c) is proved via a polynomial-time - RPR2' algorithm. Thus we have given an efficient, optimal SDP-rounding algorithm for Max-Cut. The fact that it is RPR2 confirms a conjecture of Feige and Langberg [17]. We also describe and analyze the tight connection between SDP gaps and Long Code tests (and the constructions of [25, 3, 4]). Using this connection, we give optimal Long Code tests for Max-Cut. Combining these with results implicit in [27, 29] and ideas from [19], we derive the following conclusions: - The Max-Cut SDP gap curve subject to triangle inequalities is also given by S(c). - No RPR2 algorithm can be guaranteed to find cuts of value larger than S(c) in graphs where the optimal cut is c. (Contrast this with the fact that in the graphs exhibiting the c vs. S(c) SDP gap, our RPR2 algorithm actually finds the optimal cut.) - Further, no polynomial-time algorithm of any kind can have such a guarantee, assuming P ≠ NP and the Unique Games Conjecture.

description: We present the first magnetohydrodynamic simulation in which a circumbinary disk around a relativistic binary black hole feeds mass to individual accretion disks ("mini-disks") around each black hole. Mass flow through the accretion streams linking the circumbinary disk to the mini-disks is modulated quasi-periodically by the streams' interaction with a nonlinear $m=1$ density feature, or "lump", at the inner edge of the circumbinary disk: the stream supplying each mini-disk comes into phase with the lump at a frequency $0.74$ times the binary orbital frequency. Because the binary is relativistic, the tidal truncation radii of the mini-disks are not much larger than their innermost stable circular orbits; consequently, the mini-disks' inflow times are shorter than the conventional estimate and are comparable to the stream modulation period. As a result, the mini-disks are always in inflow disequilibrium, with their masses and spiral density wave structures responding to the stream's quasi-periodic modulation. The fluctuations in each mini-disk's mass are so large that as much as $75\%$ of the total mini-disk mass can be contained within a single mini-disk. Such quasi-periodic modulation of the mini-disk structure may introduce distinctive time-dependent features in the binary's electromagnetic emission.

description: Collective behavior involving distally separate regions in a protein is known to widely affect its function. In this paper, we present an online approach to study and characterize collective behavior in proteins as molecular dynamics simulations progress. Our representation of MD simulations as a stream of continuously evolving data allows us to succinctly capture spatial and temporal dependencies that may exist and analyze them efficiently using data mining techniques. By using multi-way analysis we identify (a) parts of the protein that are dynamically coupled, (b) constrained residues/ hinge sites that may potentially affect protein function and (c) time-points during the simulation where significant deviation in collective behavior occurred. We demonstrate the applicability of this method on two different protein simulations for barnase and cyclophilin A. For both these proteins we were able to identify constrained/ flexible regions, showing good agreement with experimental results and prior computational work. Similarly, for the two simulations, we were able to identify time windows where there were significant structural deviations. Of these time-windows, for both proteins, over 70% show collective displacements in two or more functionally relevant regions. Taken together, our results indicate that multi-way analysis techniques can be used to analyze protein dynamics and may be an attractive means to automatically track and monitor molecular dynamics simulations.

description: In this study, the crystal structure and magnetic properties of La$_{2-x} A'_{x}$Ni$_{7}$ compounds with magnetic rare earth elements ($A$' = Sm, Gd) have been investigated combining X-ray powder diffraction and magnetic measurements. These intergrowth compounds crystallize in a mixture of 2$H$ hexagonal (Ce$_{2}$Ni$_{7}$-type) and 3$R$ rhombohedral (Gd$_{2}$Co$_{7}$-type) polymorphic structures which are related to the stacking of [$AB_{5}$] and [$A_{2}B_{4}$] subunits along the $c$-axis.The average cell volume decreases linearly versus $A$' content, whereas the $c/a$ ratio reaches a minimum at $x$ = 1, due to geometric constraints upon $A$' for La substitution between the two different subunits. The magnetic properties strongly depend on the structure type and the $A$' content. Hexagonal La$_{2}$Ni$_{7}$ is a weak antiferromagnet (wAFM) at low field and temperature and undergoes metamagnetic transitions towards weak ferromagnetic state (wFM) under applied field. Under an applied field of 0.1 T, La$_{2-x}A'_{x}$Ni$_{7}$ intermetallic compounds display two different transition temperatures $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ that both increase with $x$. $T_{1}$ is associated with a wFM-wAFM transition in the 2$H$ phase for $A$'= Sm, whereas $T_{2}$ is related to the Curie temperature of both 2$H$ and 3$R$ phases. A metamagnetic behaviour is observed between $T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ with transition field $μ_{0}H_{Trans}$ between 2 and 3.5 T for compounds with $A$' = Sm. The La$_{2-x}Sm_{x}$Ni$_{7}$ compounds ($x$ > 0} behave as hard magnets with a large coercive field $μ_{0}H_{C}$ at low temperature ($μ_{0}H_{C}$ > 9 T at 5 K for $x$ = 2), whereas the La$_{2-x} Gd_{x}$Ni$_{7}$ compounds ($x$ > 0) are soft ferrimagnets with a linear increase of the saturation magnetization versus Gd content.

Las preguntas por el cambio: Los imaginarios sociales de los cambios en las referencias básicas
Creators: name: Pintos, Juan Luis
Publisher: name: Instituto Politécnico de Bragança
Year: 2017

description: El uso incesante de la palabra “cambio” por parte de muchos actores políticos para encubrir la ausencia casi total de proyectos de resolución de los problemas que afectan a los ciudadanos y de llegar a ocupar un poder del que previamente tienen que desalojar al actual ocupante, encierra una alusión cierta a lo que está ocurriendo en nuestras sociedades particulares y en un mundo globalizado. El cambio se está produciendo ya. Pero ¿en qué consiste? Utilizaremos la perspectiva sociocibernética de la Teoría de los Imaginarios Sociales para señalar les principales relevancias y opacidades de este complejo proceso. La principal metáfora que utilizaremos es la de la puerta. Estamos “saliendo” de un espacio y un tiempo y estamos “entrando” en otro distinto del que no tenemos mapas ni cronologías. Tratamos de abordar analíticamente los datos que podemos observar de ese proceso enmarcándolos en tres ámbitos que definiremos como el “marco de referencias”, el “marco de conceptos” y el “marco instrumental”. En este primer artículo nos ocuparemos en desentrañar las relevancias y las opacidades que se pueden observar en el material mediático trabajado, en relación a las “Referencias Básicas”. Seguirán otros dos que se ocuparán de las variaciones de “los conceptos” y “los instrumentos” utilizados en este complejo proceso de “estar saliendo” y “estar entrando”. Palabras clave: imaginarios sociales, cambio, espacio, tiempo

Memória e Identidade no Imaginário Social Português - O Transdiscurso das Origens ao Século XVII
Creators: name: Gama, Orlando
Publisher: name: Instituto Politécnico de Bragança
Year: 2017

description: O tema aponta para uma novidade de perspetiva e de análise no panorama da historiografia sobre Portugal e Espanha. Trata-se de um trabalho de perceção das representações mentais e das singularidades sociais e culturais, em processo de construção erudita de um enfoque muito específico o que obriga a um percurso de triagem e análise nem sempre consentâneo com as delimitações espacio-temporais que orientam os habituais trabalhos sobre produção historiográfica. Pretendemos invocar contextos explicativos fundamentais, cuja coerência é assegurada pela abordagem estrutural (tempo longo). Investigação que se presta à averiguação dos mais variados processos e fenómenos de construção da consciência nacional, permitindo-nos refletir sobre dois problemas que consideramos fundamentais: a relação entre o poder, mormente político e o território e a averiguação dos mecanismos de identidade, de memória e de utilização do passado. Palavras-chave: identidade; memória; poder; transdiscurso.

Usos políticos del imaginario social: El caso de la Reforma Energética en México
Creators: name: Rubio, Josafat
Publisher: name: Instituto Politécnico de Bragança
Year: 2017

description: En diciembre de 2013 el Congreso Mexicano promulgó una serie de modificaciones Constitucionales que permitían, por primera vez en más de 50 años, la entrada de capitales privados a la industria petrolera en México. Dicha modificación, representó un enfrentamiento directo al imaginario social mexicano, en donde el petróleo se encuentra íntimamente ligado al nacionalismo desde la expropiación petrolera de 1938. En este texto se planea presentar la manera en que dicho imaginario social fue utilizado por las tres principales fuerzas políticas del país, el PAN, el PRI y el PRD, a favor de sus propias propuestas de reforma energética. Palabras clave: imaginario social; nacionalismo mexicano; PEMEX; reforma energética

description: We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the HectoMAP redshift survey and cross-identify associated X-ray emission in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data (RASS). The resulting flux limited catalog of X-ray cluster survey is complete to a limiting flux of $\sim3 \times10^{-13}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ and includes 15 clusters (7 newly discovered) with redshift $z \leq 0.4$. HectoMAP is a dense survey ($\sim1200$ galaxies deg$^{-2}$) that provides $\sim50$ members (median) in each X-ray cluster. We provide redshifts for the 1036 cluster members. Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging covers three of the X-ray systems and confirms that they are impressive clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray clusters have an $L_{X} - σ_{cl}$ scaling relation similar to that of known massive X-ray clusters. The HectoMAP X-ray cluster sample predicts $\sim 12000 \pm3000$ detectable X-ray clusters in the RASS to the limiting flux, comparable with previous estimates.

description: Achievement gaps refer to the difference in the performance on examinations of students belonging to different social groups. Achievement gaps between ethnic groups have been observed in several countries with heterogeneous populations. In this paper, we analyze achievement gaps between ethnic populations in Brazil by studying the performance of a large cohort of senior high-school students in a standardized national exam. We separate ethnic groups into the Brazilian states to remove potential biases associated to infrastructure and financial resources, cultural background and ethnic clustering. We focus on the disciplines of mathematics and writing that involve different cognitive functions. We estimate the gaps and their statistical significance through the Welch's t-test and study key socio-economic variables that may explain the existence or absence of gaps. We identify that gaps between ethnic groups are either statistically insignificant (p
A Structured Review on the Effect of Music Therapy on the Development of Preterm Babies

description: Background: Improving the developmental outcomes of preterm babies has prompted an extensive research interest in the use of alternative methods during neonatal care. An example of such alternative methods is music therapy. Although, there is evidence suggesting a beneficial effect of music therapy in soothing and stress reduction, its effect on the development of preterm babies remains unclear. Objective: To review the literature on the use of music therapy (live or classical music, singing, recorded sounds), in order to determine its effects on the development of preterm babies. Methods: Articles were retrieved from the following databases: MEDLINE Ovid, PubMed, EMBASE, SCOPUS and the Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews. Articles were subjected to predetermined exclusion and inclusion criteria; and reviewed by two independent reviewers. Results: 454 articles were retrieved using the initial search criteria. After removal of irrelevant citations and duplicate articles, 75 articles remained, of which 26 met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: The existing evidence on the effect of music therapy on the development of preterm babies is mixed. While some studies report beneficial effect on developmental outcomes such as physiological and behavioural responses, others report no significant effect. Further research is required in this field. Keywords: preterm, music therapy, NICU, live singing, classical music, development, physiological response, behavioural response, stress, pain.
