description: This paper continues our development of non-parametric tests for analysing the completeness in apparent magnitude of magnitude-redshift surveys. The purpose of this third and final paper in our completeness series is two-fold: firstly we explore how certain forms of incompleteness for a given flux-limited galaxy redshift survey would manifest themselves in the ROBUST Tc and Tv completeness estimators introduced in our earlier papers; secondly we provide a comprehensive error propagation for these estimators. By using both real surveys and Monte Carlo mock survey data, we have found distinct, characteristic behaviour of the Tc and Tv estimators which identify incompleteness in the form of e.g. missing objects within a particular magnitude range. Conversely we have identified signatures of `over' completeness, in cases where a survey contains a small region in apparent magnitude that may have too many objects relative to the rest of the data set. We also demonstrate how incompleteness resulting from luminosity evolution can be identified and provide a framework for using our estimators as a robust tool for constraining models of luminosity evolution. Finally we explore the error propagation for Tc andTv. This builds on Completeness II by allowing the definition of these estimators, and their errors, via an adaptive procedure that accounts for the effects of sampling error on the observed distribution of apparent magnitude and redshift in a survey.

description: We consider the one loop effective action in four dimensional Euclidean space for a background chiral field coupled to a spinor field. It proves possible to find an exact expression for this action if the mass $m$ of the spinor vanishes. If $m$ does not vanish, one can make a perturbative expansion in powers of the axial field that contributes to the chiral field, while treating the contribution of the vector field exactly when it is a constant. The analogous problem in two dimensions is also discussed.

Molecular phylogenetics of mosses and relatives
Creators: name: Chang, Ying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Substantial ambiguities still remain concerning the broad backbone of moss phylogeny. I surveyed 17 slowly evolving plastid genes from representative taxa to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among the major lineages of mosses in the overall context of land-plant phylogeny. I first designed 78 bryophyte-specific primers and demonstrated that they permit straightforward amplification and sequencing of 14 core genes across a broad range of bryophytes (three of the 17 genes required more effort). In combination, these genes can generate sturdy and well-resolved phylogenetic inferences of higher-order moss phylogeny, with little evidence of conflict among different data partitions or analyses. Liverworts are strongly supported as the sister group of the remaining land plants, and hornworts as sister to vascular plants. Within mosses, besides confirming some previously published findings based on other markers, my results substantially improve support for major branching patterns that were ambiguous before. The monogeneric classes Takakiopsida and Sphagnopsida likely represent the first and second split within moss phylogeny, respectively. However, this result is shown to be sensitive to the strategy used to estimate DNA substitution model parameter values and to different data partitioning methods. Regarding the placement of remaining nonperistomate lineages, the [[[Andreaeobryopsida, Andreaeopsida], Oedipodiopsida], peristomate mosses] arrangement receives moderate to strong support. Among peristomate mosses, relationships among Polytrichopsida, Tetraphidopsida and Bryopsida remain unclear, as do the earliest splits within sublcass Bryidae. A Funariidae, [Timmiidae, [Dicranidae, Bryidae]]] arrangement is strongly supported, as are major relationships within subclasses Funariidae and Dicranidae. I also reconstructed the phylogeny of the nonperistomate moss family Andreaeaceae, with a focus on costate taxa, using two complementary sets of plastid markers and taxa. The major subgenera (Andreaea and Chasmocalyx) and sections of Andreaea (Andreaea and Nerviae) are rejected as monophyletic. Well-supported lineages include clades comprising: (1) Andreaea nivalis and A. rigida (northern hemisphere members of subgenus Chasmocalyx) and A. blyttii (section Nerviae); (2) most of the remainder of Nerviae; (3) a mixture of costate and ecostate species from Chasmocalyx, Nerviae, all sampled members of section Andreaea, and subgenus Acroschisma. Relationships among the major lineages, including the root of the family, are all well supported.

description: The aim of this study was to estimate tobacco smoking prevalence among psychiatric patients attended in care facilities in Brazil and assess associated factors. A cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted of psychiatric patients (N = 2,475) selected from 26 care facilities. Current and ex-smokers were compared to those who had never smoked. Odds ratios were estimated using logistic regression. The current and past smoking prevalence rates were 52.7% and 18.9%, respectively. Being male, aged 40 years or over, drug and alcohol use, unprotected sex and a history of physical violence were factor associated with both current and past smoking, while a low education level (≤ 8 years of schooling), history of homelessness, not practicing a religion, current or previous psychiatric hospitalization, and main psychiatric diagnosis substance use disorders, were factors only associated with current smoking. Tobacco smoking prevalence among this population was high and was higher than the rate in the general population. Appropriate interventions and smoking prevention policies should be incorporated into mental health services.

description: Salah satu permasalahan optimasi kemasan makanan adalah ketidaktepatan berat kemasan makanan. Kasus ketidaktepatan berat kemasan makanan ini sering terjadi pada sistem kemasan makanan konvensional yang sepenuhnya mengandalkan pada perhitungan timbangan digital tanpa proses pengecekan berat secara berulang. Untuk mengatasi kasus ketidaktepatan berat kemasan makanan tersebut diperlukan pengawasan yang terus menerus serta sistem yang mampu melakukan perhitungan dan memberikan keputusan yang tepat pada berat makanan yang sudah dikemas. Internet of Things mampu memberikan kemampuan untuk melakukan pengawasan otomatis secara terus menerus. Sementara fuzzy logic memberikan kemampuan untuk memberikan keputusan terhadap ketepatan berat kemasan makanan. Pada penelitian ini, dibangun smart packaging machine (SPANE) yaitu sistem timbangan digital berbasis IoT dan fuzzy untuk meningkatkan optimasi kemasan makanan. Tahap pertama, pengambilan data dari alat penghitung beban konvensional dan digital. Tahap kedua, data timbangan di analisa dengan kontrol fuzzy logic. Tahap ketiga, ditentukan hasil optimasi yang lebih baik dari kedua alat penghitung beban. Hasil pengujian yang dilakukan didapatkan hasil pada timbangan konvensional 96.24% sedangkan pada SPANE 98.50%. Optimasi kemasan makanan dapat ditingkatkan hingga 3%.

description: Objective

To determine if the relationships of lifetime discrimination to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) varied as a function of age in a sample of Black and Latino(a) adults ages 19 – 65.

Methods

Participants were 607 Black (n = 318) and Latino(a) (n = 289) adults (49% female) who completed the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CV), which assesses lifetime exposure to racism/ethnic discrimination. They were outfitted with an ABP monitor to assess systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) across a 24-hour period. Mixed-level modeling was conducted to examine potential interactive effects of lifetime discrimination and age to 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime ABP after adjustment for demographic, socioeconomic, personality and life stress characteristics, and substance consumption covariates (e.g., smoking, alcohol).

Results

There were significant interactions of Age × Lifetime Discrimination on 24-hour and daytime DBP (ps ≤ .04), and in particular significant interactions for the Social Exclusion component of Lifetime Discrimination. Post-hoc probing of the interactions revealed the effects of Lifetime Discrimination on DBP were seen for older, but not younger participants. Lifetime discrimination was significantly positively associated with nocturnal SBP, and these effects were not moderated by age. All associations of Lifetime Discrimination to ABP remained significant controlling for recent exposure to discrimination as well as all other covariates.

Conclusions

Exposure to racial/ethnic discrimination across the life course is associated with elevated ABP in middle to older aged Black and Latino(a) adults. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms linking discrimination to ABP over the life course.

description: Sekali produksi dalam keadaan normal tanpa ada kendala apapun, daya listrik yang terpakai oleh mesin packaging adalah 1200-1800 watt, jika terjadi kendala pada saat produksi akan memakan daya listrik lebih dari itu. Penyebab terjadinya pemakaian daya listrik yang berlebih adalah, ketika stok makanan ataupun stok plastik telah habis, mesin tetap berjalan, dan hal tersebut tidak bisa ditangani secara langsung, karena mesin packaging ini tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk mematikan mesin secara otomatis ketika stok makanan telah habis, juga tidak adanya orang yang memonitoring hal tersebut secaralangsung dikarenakan banyaknya mesin yang beroperasi ketika waktu produksi berlangsung. Dampak dari hal tersebut, salah satu yang paling utamanya adalah borosnya konsumsi energi listrik pada saat sekali produksi, dan hal tersebut tidak baik bagi keuangan sebuah industri dan juga tidak baik bagi lingkungan. Tujuan dari pembuataan paper ini untuk mengurangi permasalahan penghematan konsumsi energi listrik dengan dibuatnya sistem yang menggunakan teknologi Internet of Things (IoT) dengan berbasis fuzzy logic untuk penghematan daya listrik, analisis Fuzzy logic digunakan untuk mengolah inputan daya listrik yang di hasilkan mesin, yang diperuntukkan mengontrol kinerja mesin. Hasil yang didapatkan dengan menggunakan metode fuzzy logic serta teknologi IoT sebagai kontrol otomatis adalah produktivitas mesin menjadi lebih hemat 80.15% dari biasanya.

description: Time series of mean daily values of precipitation p, temperature T and river runoff Q for a glacio-pluvial basin are analyzed with the purpose of obtaining a 2-D differential model describing the hydro-climatic basin behaviour at a seasonal scale. This is done without claiming any classic empirical link between the volume V of water that is stored on the basin and the corresponding river runoff Q. Such a relationship is directly obtained from observed basin data in two steps. We first propose a differential input-output model of the state variables (V, Q) having considered both the physics of the system and the link among the observed quantities (p, T, Q). Second, we extract the numerical value of the unknown model coefficients by analyzing the trajectory in the state space (V, Q) using the "Trajectory Method" for the reconstruction of differential equations from time series. The nonlinear model that is obtained mimics well the original data, and seems to catch some essential properties of the underlying system dynamics. Moreover, it appears to be robust enough against forcing, and is thus able to describe the basin dynamics at daily and weekly time scales reasonably well. Results show the benefit of this approach not only to study the linear vs non-linear role played by the different terms of the model, but also to investigate the long-term system behavior under different forcing scenarios.
Recognizing fact from fiction : a social critique of premature recognition in Libya
Creators: name: Freedman, Joshua Meir
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Lassa Oppenheim tells us that states and governments become International Persons through recognition only, and exclusively. According to this legally constitutive doctrine, the recognition of governments operates in an intricate system between established states and recipient political entities. In these circumstances existing governments have the power to create international personality and, as a result, yield a high degree of influence and coercion over nascent recipient regimes. It is not surprising, therefore, that countries have repeatedly sought to withhold the recognition of certain governments, or prematurely recognize others, as a means of influencing a recipient regime’s survival or policies. These arguments and practices have been problematic, however, because they treat recognition solely as an act of political or legal coercion, which presumes that recipient regimes may value recognition more then their own contentious domestic or foreign policies. Moreover, viewing recognition solely as an act between states, between governments, and between political entities, obscures the fact that recognition may also be a “social act” whose consequences may extend far beyond a state’s governing apparatus, and into its civil society. Using France’s 2011 recognition of the Libyan rebels as a theoretical test case, this paper analyzes the impact of recognition beyond the legal and into the social realm. In this respect, recognition is treated not simply as a constitutive act of legal rights and duties, but additionally as a symbolic endorsement by one state towards the citizens of another, on the question of the legitimacy of their government. Beginning with a critique of legal recognition’s constitutive impact, and ending with an alternative view of recognition as a social phenomena, this paper asks two central questions: a) Under what circumstances can we expect external recognition to impact a population’s conception of legitimate governance, and b) under what conditions will this impact benefit the goals of the donor and recipient entities?

description: This paper has the aim of implementing the smart lighting systems that is able to analyze daily movement activities, analyze the performance of hierarchical hidden markov models as predictions and analyze the performance of smart lighting with activity analysis using hierarchical hidden markov models. The purpose is to answer the problems that occur, namely the smart lights only turn on if users are right under the lights so users need a smart light which is able to read the movement of people when approaching the lamp or not. Secondly, there are also smart lights, but when users are under the lights, it only lights up for a few seconds which should light up if there is a person below or a radius around the lamp so that a smart light is needed when someone is underneath and the lights will die it is outside the radius around the lamp. The model used is the hierarchical hidden markov model which is an extension of the hidden markov model which can solve the problem of evaluation, conclusion and learning with the algorithm used is the viterbi algorithm. The result obtained using HHMM are accuracy of 93%, 92% recall and 86% precision.

description: Improvements in indices of vascular health and endothelial function have been inversely associated with hypertension, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure), renal failure, and mortality. Aerobic exercise training (AEXT) has been positively associated with improvements in clinical health values, as well as vascular health biomarkers, and endothelial function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether measures of exercise adherence were related to clinical outcome measures and indices of vascular health subsequent to a 6-month AEXT intervention in a middle-to-older aged African American cohort. Following dietary stabilization, sedentary, apparently healthy, African American adults (40 - 71 y/o) underwent baseline testing including blood pressure, flow-mediated dilation (FMD) studies, fasting blood sampling, and graded exercise testing. Upon completion of a supervised 6-month AEXT intervention, participants repeated all baseline tests. Exercise adherence was measured three ways: exercise percentage, exercise volume, and exercise score. There were no significant correlations between the changes in the vascular health biomarkers of the participants and any of the adherence measures. In addition, there were no significant correlations between any of the adherence measures and the clinical values of the participants that had been significantly changed pre-post-AEXT. Participants improved their clinical and vascular health and decreased risk factors for hypertension and cardiovascular disease regardless of their level of adherence to AEXT. Future studies should continue to accurately quantify adherence in order to assess the exercise dose for improvements in vascular and clinical health.

description: Security is one of the considerations in the development of smart parking. In Indonesia, the most common authentication factor is using a smart card as an authentication factor at the gate. Using a smart card as an authentication factor has loopholes that can be misused. Accordingly, authentication system needs an additional factor (more than one). Authentication that uses more than one factor is also called Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). However, the MFA applied to smart parking can still be misused. The cause of the MFA can be misused because the MFA cannot ensure the user's smart card. Therefore, we apply the MFA at the gate in smart parking using a two-factor authentication system on this research. These two factors are the smart card and biometric data (fingerprint). This authentication system can prove the hypothesis that if the smart card lost, the smart card cannot be used by other than the owner (H0) and the smart card whose data has been rewritten or cloned cannot be a threat to the system (H1). Proofing of this hypothesis is bypassing several attack scenarios. Thus, the security of the proposed parking gate system can be guaranteed.

description: This is a summary paper of the author’s book in Japanese, Difficulties and Challenges, Japan’s Post-War History of Monetary Policy and Economic Trends (Iwanami Shoten, 2016). For the Bank of Japan, these 70 years are indeed a repetitive succession of difficulties and challenges, and resulting successes and failures. The first difficulty was to pursue two contradictory policy purposes, namely stimulating investments to restore supply capacity and depressing hyper inflation more than 300% under a fixed exchange rate in the Occupation period. Unexpectedly, an enormous increase in external demand generated by the Korean War in 1950-51 solved the dilemma and the pre-war level of the Japanese economy was restored in 1953. The successful catch-up story of extraordinary rapid growth started thanks to the Bretton Woods System under which free trade, capital, and technology transfer enabled Japan to perform export-investment led high growth and to achieve industrialization around 1970.
Then three surprise shocks came from abroad: the so-called Nixon shock followed by the Smithsonian Accord in 1971; the Plaza Accord and Louvre Accord in 1985-87; and the Lehman shock in 2008. Each shock caused sharp appreciation of the yen, but the economic implications from each are different. The essence of the first is a correction of the depreciated yen under the fixed nominal exchange rate system in which the effective real rate of the yen had been in a depreciating trend because of the inflation rate differential between Japan and abroad. Japan’s policy reaction was so extreme as to cause domestic inflation which further flared in the first oil crisis.
The second shock would have been also smaller if the binding of Japanese monetary policy by participating in the so-called “International Policy Coordination” program had not caused asset bubbles as the consequence of an internationally-compelled easy money policy.
The third was a real shock because it spoiled the successful exit from deflation and turned “the loss of 7 years” to “15 years”.
The story of successful “Stronger Country” Japan in 1975-84 and the failure of too hasty fiscal consolidation in 1997 which resulted in extended deflation are also discussed. As for today’s monetary policy, since the final goal of full employment is almost achieved, pursuing an intermediate target of 2% inflation rate is meaningless, and the BOJ should start the exit policy. A positive immigration policy to increase Japan’s working population is also proposed to raise the potential growth rate and the natural rate of interest to recover the effectiveness of monetary policy.

description: The hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon which are relevant for the confrontation between theory and experiment at the present level of accuracy, are evaluated within the same framework: the constituent chiral quark model. This includes the contributions from the dominant hadronic vacuum polarization as well as from the next--to--leading order hadronic vacuum polarization, the contributions from the hadronic light-by-light scattering, and the contributions from the electroweak hadronic $Zγγ$ vertex. They are all evaluated as a function of only one free parameter: the constituent quark mass. We also comment on the comparison between our results and other phenomenological evaluations.

description: Japan’s Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes are potentially the most powerful of the initiatives constituting Prime Minister Abe’s “third arrow” of his “Three Arrows” vision for revitalization of Japan’s economy. The 2014 Stewardship Code seeks to hold institutional investors responsible for enforcing the new requirements for transparency and management oversight which are now required by the Corporate Governance Code and related legislation, such as the amendments to the Company Act. There has been a great deal of change in corporate organization and board structure in response to the Corporate Governance code---a great deal of it perfunctory and without strategy. On the stewardship side, even this level of progress has been slow by comparison. Impediments to more active engagement by investors with their investee companies include a persistent level of silent ownership of the market and conflicts of interest inherent in the financial conglomerates which dominate the Japanese market. While the Financial Services Agency has taken steps to address these issues, the legal and regulatory environment discourages institutional investors to act in concert with others to advance an agenda, and leaves investors open to legal risk of insider trading. The UK has developed a framework to encourage collective action by investors, while Japan and the United States have yet to do so.
Public Pension Fund Governance and Investment: Update and Critique Comparing Japan’s GPIF with Foreign Peers

description: Public pension fund management has undergone major changes globally over the past two decades. Pension fund management mainly involves (1) institutional design, (2) governance and (3) investment. Approaches to institutional design, the main focus of which is pension finance, differ internationally. The two main models of public pension finance are prefunding and pay-as‐you‐go. Japan has adopted a predominantly pay‐as‐you‐go model, where current labor force participants essentially fund retirees’ pension benefits. However, in anticipation of changing demographics, namely the change in the elderly dependency ratio, Japanese public pension plans have prefunded reserves to cover benefit payments in excess of contributions. Pension financing models differ internationally, reflecting differences in individual countries’ attributes such as population composition, social solidarity and national attitudes toward risk‐sharing, social insurance programs and entitlement to retirement income. This report will leave the issue of institutional design to other papers, and mainly examines public pension plan governance and investment, two areas in which global consensus on best practices exist to at least some extent.

description: Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine patterns of objectively-measured sedentary behavior in a national cohort of U.S. middle-aged and older adults and determine factors that influence prolonged sedentary behavior.

Methods

We studied 8,096 participants from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study, a population-based study of black and white adults ≥45 years. Seven-day accelerometry was conducted. Prolonged sedentary behavior was defined as accumulating ≥50% of total sedentary time in bouts ≥30 min.

Results

The number of sedentary bouts ≥20, ≥30, ≥60, and ≥90 min were 8.8 ± 2.3, 5.5 ± 1.9, 1.9 ± 1.1, and 0.8 ± 0.7 bouts/day, respectively. Sedentary bouts ≥20, ≥30, ≥60, and ≥90 min accounted for 60.0 ± 13.9%, 48.0 ± 15.5%, 26.0 ± 15.4%, and 14.2 ± 12.9% of total sedentary time, respectively. Several factors were associated with prolonged sedentary behavior in multivariate-adjusted models (Odds Ratio [95% CI]): older age (65-74 years: 1.99 [1.55-2.57]; ≥75 years: 4.68 [3.61-6.07] vs. 45-54 years), male sex (1.41 [1.28-1.56] vs. female), residence in non-stroke belt/buckle region of U.S. (stroke belt: 0.87 [0.77-0.98]; stroke buckle: 0.86 [0.77-0.95] vs. non-belt/buckle), body mass index (BMI) (overweight: 1.33 [1.18-1.51]; obese: 2.15 [1.89-2.44] vs. normal weight), winter (1.18 [1.03-1.35] vs. summer), and low amounts of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) [0 min/week: 2.00 [1.66-2.40] vs. ≥150 min/week).

Conclusions

In this sample of U.S. middle-aged and older adults, a large proportion of total sedentary time was accumulated in prolonged, uninterrupted bouts of sedentary behavior as almost one-half was accumulated in sedentary bouts ≥30 min. Several sociodemographic (age, sex, BMI), behavioral (MVPA), environmental (region), and seasonal factors are associated with patterns of prolonged sedentary behavior.
DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS FOR THE DESIGN OF VISUAL FORCE FEEDBACK FOCUSED COMPLIANT MECHANISM-BASED END-EFFECTORS

description: Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery (MIRS) has revolutionized the way modern surgery is conducted by allowing for smaller incisions, finer control, reduced pain, and faster recovery. The state-of-the-art end-effector technology used for MIRS are tools based off of the rigid-body instruments used in traditional ‘open’ surgery. The rigid nature of the end-effectors, specifically the grasping jaws, leads to a lack of force feedback when implemented in a robotic system. Without additional feedback from active sensing, the blanching that occurs from restricted blood flow around a grasping site is the only indication a surgeon can use to assess the force applied to a tissue. Ongoing efforts to develop active force sensing solutions are currently faced with two major obstacles: miniaturization and sterilization. The lack of force feedback causes a gap between intention and result during robotic surgery. This work proposes the introduction of Visual Force Feedback (VFF) through the integration of a compliant end-effector design. Visual Force Feedback is an intuition, developed through practice, that allows a surgeon to estimate the reaction force of a compliant mechanism by the deflection of the outer flexures. An understanding of the relationship between opening size, flexure deformation, and pinch force allows for rapid estimation of the force applied to a manipulated object. Force and dimensional data were gathered through finite element simulation and the finite element model was validated with physical experimentation on a custom test bench. Multiple functions relating the flexure deformation to the reactionary force, referred to as pinch force, for specific opening sizes were resolved. Notable observations made through the analysis of these results were: (1) a closely linear relationship between outer flexure deformation and pinch force in both experimental and computational results and (2) a higher rate of pinch force increase due to draw displacement as an effect of wider jaw opening. These findings are intended to help shrink the gap between intention and result in the field of MIRS.

description: Dalam berinvestasi di pasar saham, hal yang perlu diperhatikan adalah bagaimana cara untuk melakukan manajemen atau diversifikasi portofolio yang tepat. Dalam memilih portofolio, Markowitz telah mengemukakan suatu teori modern yang memadukan antara ekspektasi return dan variansi return (resiko). Namun model milik Markowitz hanya berlaku jika distribusi data return saham berdistribusi normal. Penambahan momen tinggi yaitu skewness, kurtosis serta entropi shanon dan gini simpson menjadi solusi untuk data yang tidak berdistribusi normal. Penambahan momen pertama, kedua dan seterusnya menciptakan masalah optimasi berbentuk polinomial yang diselesaikan menggunakan Polynomial Goal Programming (PGP). PGP sendiri mengimplementasikan Minkowksi distance dengan momen tinggi dan entropi sebagai objektifnya. Sehingga, nilai optimum masing-masing objektif dapat diketahui dan disubstitusi ke dalam model PGP sehingga didapatkan output berupa nilai optimum masing-masing objektif terbaru sesuai model PGP yang diterapkan. Setelah menerapkan model PGP, hasil dari nilai optimum objektif terbaru akan dibandingkan antara model satu dengan lainnya. Didapatkan, kinerja model PGP yang melibatkan mean dan entropi gini simpson lebih baik daripada model milik Markowitz atau model tanpa dilakukan optimasi dalam hal mendapatkan keuntungan dan mengurangi resiko dalam pemilihan portofolio.
