description: Konsep diri merupakan pandangan atau penilaian remaja terhadap diri sendiri. Konsep
diri yang tepat akan membantu remaja untuk mengenali dirinya dan merupakan
alat kontrol bagi perilaku remaja. Apabila konsep diri remaja positif maka perilaku yang
ditampilkan juga positif. Sebaliknya, apabila konsep diri remaja negatif maka perilaku
yang ditampilkan akan negatif. Lingkungan keluarga, khususnya pola asuh orang tua
merupakan salah satu faktor penting bagi pembentukan konsep diri remaja. Remaja
akan mempersepsikan pola asuh yang diterapkan orang tua dan persepsi pola asuh
tersebut akan menjadi dasar bagi remaja untuk menilai dirinya. Pengasuhan orang tua
terbagi menjadi tiga pola yaitu pola authoritarian, permissive dan authoritative. Yang
menjadi masalah dalam penelitian ini yaitu apakah terdapat perbedaan konsep diri antara
remaja akhir yang mempersepsi pola asuh orang tua authoritarian, permissive, dan
authoritative. Penelitian ini bersifat komparatif, yaitu membandingkan konsep diri
antara remaja akhir yang mempersepsi pola asuh orang tua authoritarian, permissive,
dan authoritative. Sebagai variabel pertama adalah konsep diri dan variabel kedua yaitu
persepsi pola asuh (authoritarian, permissive, authoritative). Sampel penelitian ini
adalah remaja akhir berusia 18-22 tahun dan diasuh oleh kedua orang tua. Teknik
yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah accidental sampling. Sedangkan
pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner konsep diri dan persepsi pola asuh.
Data yang diperoleh diolah dengan menggunakan teknik statistik uji-F anova satu
jalan dan uji post hoc test. Dari pengolahan data diperoleh hasil uji F=20,409 dengan
probabilitas 0,000 artinya ada perbedaan konsep diri antara remaja akhir yang
mempersepsi pola asuh orang tua authoritarian, permissive, dan authoritative. Dengan
uji post hoc tes, pada pola authoritarian dan permissive diperoleh probabilitas 0,279
yang berarti tidak ada perbedaan konsep diri satu dengan yang lain. Sedangkan pada
pola authoritative nilai probabilitas 0,000 artinya konsep diri dari pola authoritative
berbeda secara nyata dengan pola authoritarian dan permissive. Kesimpulan dari hasil
penelitian ini adalah terdapat perbedaan konsep diri antara remaja akhir yang
mempersepsi pola asuh orang tua authoritarian, permissive, dan authoritative.
Perbedaan tersebut terletak pada pola authoritative sehingga konsep diri remaja
akhir menjadi positif. Namun remaja akhir yang mempersepsi pola asuh orang tua
authoritarian atau permissive memiliki konsep diri yang negatif.

description: This article concerns the formation of finite-time singularities in solutions to quasilinear hyperbolic systems with small initial data. By constructing a special test function, we first present a simpler proof of the main result in Sideris' "Formation of singularities in three-dimensional compressible fluids": the global classical solution is non-existent for compressible Euler equation even for some small initial data. Then we apply this approach to nonlinear elastodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, showing that the classical solutions to these equations can still blow up in finite time even if the initial data is small enough.

description: Annotating 3D medical images demands expert knowledge and is time-consuming. As a result, semi-supervised learning (SSL) approaches have gained significant interest in 3D medical image segmentation. The significant size differences among various organs in the human body lead to imbalanced class distribution, which is a major challenge in the real-world application of these SSL approaches. To address this issue, we develop a novel Shape Transformation driven by Active Contour (STAC), that enlarges smaller organs to alleviate imbalanced class distribution across different organs. Inspired by curve evolution theory in active contour methods, STAC employs a signed distance function (SDF) as the level set function, to implicitly represent the shape of organs, and deforms voxels in the direction of the steepest descent of SDF (i.e., the normal vector). To ensure that the voxels far from expansion organs remain unchanged, we design an SDF-based weight function to control the degree of deformation for each voxel. We then use STAC as a data-augmentation process during the training stage. Experimental results on two benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.

description: Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) are generated when infrared photons couple to polar optic phonons in anisotropic media, confining long-wavelength light to nanoscale volumes. However, to realize the full potential of HPhPs for infrared optics, it is crucial to understand propagation and loss mechanisms on substrates suitable for applications from waveguiding to infrared sensing. In this paper, we employ scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and nano-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, in concert with analytical and numerical calculations, to elucidate HPhP characteristics as a function of the complex substrate dielectric function. We consider propagation on suspended, dielectric and metallic substrates to demonstrate that the thickness-normalized wavevector can be reduced by a factor of 25 simply by changing the substrate from dielectric to metallic behavior. Moreover, by incorporating the imaginary contribution to the dielectric function in lossy materials, the wavevector can be dynamically controlled by small local variations in loss or carrier density. Such effects may therefore be used to spatially separate hyperbolic modes of different orders, and indicates that for index-based sensing schemes that HPhPs can be more sensitive than surface polaritons in the thin film limit. Our results advance our understanding of fundamental polariton excitations and their potential for on-chip photonics and planar metasurface optics.

description: We study noise propagation dynamics in a femtosecond oscillator by injecting external noise on the pump intensity. We utilize a spectrally-resolved homodyne detection technique that enables simultaneous measurement of amplitude and phase quadrature noises of different spectral bands of the oscillator. To reveal the impact of added pump noise on the oscillator noise, we perform a modal analysis of the oscillator noise in which each mode corresponds to a particular temporal/spectral shape of the pulsed light. We compare this modal approach with the conventional noise detection methods and find the superiority of our method in particular unveiling a complete physical picture of noise distribution in femtosecond oscillator.

description: This thesis presents techniques for accelerating similarity search methods on large datasets. Similarity search has applications in clustering, image segmentation, classification, robotic control and many other areas of machine learning and data analysis. While traditionally database and data analysis oriented applications of similarity search have been search throughput oriented, in the areas of online classification and robotic control it is also important to consider total memory usage, scalability, and sometimes construction costs for the search structures.

This thesis presents a locality-sensitive hash (LSH) code generation method which has a lower computational and technical cost than baseline methods, while maintaining performance across a range of datasets. This method has an exceptionally fast search structure
construction time, which makes it suitable to accelerate even a small number of queries without a prior search structure.

A simplified boosting framework for locality-sensitive hash collections is also presented. Applying this framework speeds up existing LSH boosting algorithms without loss of performance. A simplified boosting algorithm is given which improves performance over
a state-of-the-art method while also being more efficient.

description: We explore phase separation and kinetic arrest in a model active colloidal system consisting of self-propelled, hard-core particles with nonconvex shapes. The passive limit of the model, namely cross-shaped particles on a square lattice, exhibits a first-order transition from a fluid phase to a solid phase with increasing density. Quenches into the two-phase coexistence region exhibit an aging regime. The nonconvex shape of the particles eases jamming in the passive system and leads to strong inhibition of rotations of the active particles. Using numerical simulations and analytical modeling, we quantify the nonequilibrium phase behavior as a function of density and activity. If we view activity as the analog of attraction strength, the phase diagram exhibits strong similarities to that of attractive colloids, exhibiting both aging, glassy states and gel-like arrested states. The two types of dynamically arrested states, glasses and gels, are distinguished by the appearance of density heterogenities in the latter. In the infinitely persistent limit, we show that a coarse-grained model based on the asymmetric exclusion process quantitatively predicts the density profiles of the gel states. The predictions remain qualitatively valid for finite rotation rates. Using these results, we classify the activity-driven phases and identify the boundaries separating them.

description: The hierarchal status of academic disciplines, what defines valuable or legitimate knowledge and what should we teach our children is a topic of much debate. Amidst concerns of an academic decline, tackling the culture of low expectation and anti-intellectualism, the need to address social justice, and its by-product of cultural reproduction, is the focus of current education policy. Set within the UK, this paper presents a critical review of the literature relating to disciplinary knowledge and teaching and learning regimes, specifically seeking to explore the subcultures which exist between design and technology and its associated curricula counterparts Q5 that combine to produce STEM. The purpose being to proffer an explanation that is supportive in developing an understanding as to why design and technology is perceived by many to be of less value than its STEM counterparts. Situation within a functionalist approach to STEM education policy, findings are discussed in relation to design and technology, which as a subject is caught between the identities of academic and vocational exponents, and it is from this perspective that complex nature and perceived value of design and technology is explored.

description: The last two decades have witnessed an extensive growth and an ever-increasing competition in foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to the developing countries. This has resulted in higher investment incentives offered by the host governments and an increase in the number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and regional agreements on investments. This research addresses the effectiveness of selective government policies and investment agreements in attracting FDI flows in developing countries. To achieve this, the impact of economic variables such as presence of infrastructure, cost of labor, annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth, real effective exchange rate, and tax incentives as well as bilateral investment treaties on the inflows of foreign direct investment within a 30-year span in Ghana was examined. The paper employed a regression analysis with the dependent and independent variables being FDI inflows and the listed variables respectively. Additionally, analytical techniques such as heteroskedasticity and Chou test were conducted. From the study, it is observed that inflows of FDI vary within the structural break analyzed and a low percentage of BITs reflect as a contributing factor of FDI. However, national policies proved to play a significant role in attracting FDI into Ghana.

description: As exoplanet surveys reach ever-higher sensitivities and durations, planets analogous to the solar system giant planets are increasingly within reach. HD 28185 is a Sun-like star known to host a $m\sin i=6 M_J$ planet on an Earth-like orbit; more recently, a brown dwarf with a more distant orbit has been claimed. In this work we present a comprehensive reanalysis of the HD 28185 system, based on 22 years of radial velocity observations and precision Hipparcos-Gaia astrometry. We confirm the previous characterisation of HD 28185 b as a temperate giant planet, with its $385.92^{+0.06}_{-0.07}$ day orbital period giving it an Earth-like incident flux. In contrast, we substantially revise the parameters of HD 28185 c; with a new mass of $m=6.0\pm0.6 M_J$ we reclassify this companion as a super-jovian planet. HD 28185 c has an orbital period of $24.9^{+1.3}_{-1.1}$ years, a semi-major axis of $8.50^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ AU, and a modest eccentricity of $0.15\pm0.04$, resulting in one of the most Saturn-like orbits of any known exoplanet. HD 28185 c lies at the current intersection of detection limits for RVs and direct imaging, and highlights how the discovery of giant planets at $\approx$10 AU separations is becoming increasingly routine.

Warped Geometry in Higher Dimensions with an Orbifold Extra Dimension

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We solve the Einstein equations in higher dimensions with warped geometry where an extra dimension is assumed to have orbifold symmetry $S^{1}/Z_{2}$. The setup considered here is an extension of the five-dimensional Randall-Sundrum model to $5+D$ dimensions, and hidden and observable branes are fixed on the orbifold. It is assumed that the brane tension (self-energy) of each brane with $(4+D)$-dimensional spacetime is anisotropic and that the warped metric function of the four dimensions is generally different from that of the extra $D$ dimensions. We point out that the forms of the warped metric functions and the relations between the tensions of two branes depend on the integration constant appearing in the Einstein equations as well as on the sign of the bulk cosmological constant.

Year: 2019

description: Equity market has been seen as a vehicle for promoting economic growth by mobilizing long term funds for productive investment, but theoretical postulations differ over this role. The understanding of this role is of strong policy relevance in Nigeria. This paper therefore attempts to establish the existence of long-run relationship between economic growth and equity market performance with the view to improving policy formulation that will promote growth through capital market in Nigeria. Using data from Q1:1998 to Q4:2018, the Johansen and Juselius (1990) multivariate cointegration results establish long-run relationship between economic growth and each of equity market capitalization and turnover ratio. The test result could not find cointegration between economic growth and number of securities traded. The VEC Granger Causality/Block Exogeneity Wald test results establish a uni-directional relationship running from market capitalization and turnover ratio to economic growth, while bi-directional relationship exist between economic growth and number of securities traded. The parsimonious VECM for economic growth and equity market capitalization (model 1) shows that market capitalization and turnover impact on economic growth positively. The paper recommends that market capitalization as measure of equity market performance should be considered by policy makers as a veritable policy instrument for enhancing economic growth in Nigeria.

description: Measurements of exoplanetary masses and radii have revealed a population of massive super-Earths --- planets sufficiently large that, according to one dimensional models, they should have turned into gas giants. To better understand the origin of these objects, we carry out hydrodynamical simulations of planetary cores embedded in a nascent protoplanetary disk. In this first paper of a series, to gain intuition as well as to develop useful diagnostics, we focus on two-dimensional simulations of the flow around protoplanetary cores. We use the pluto code to study isothermal and adiabatic envelopes around cores of sub- to super-thermal masses, fully resolving the envelope properties down to the core surface. Owing to the conservation of vortensity, envelopes acquire a substantial degree of rotational support when the core mass increases beyond the thermal mass, suggesting a limited applicability of one-dimensional models for describing the envelope structure. The finite size of the core (relatively large for super-Earths) also controls the amount of rotational support in the entire envelope. Steady non-axisymmetric shocks develop in the supersonic envelopes of high-mass cores, triggering mass accretion and turbulent mixing in their interiors. We also examine the influence of the gas self-gravity on the envelope structure. Although it only weakly alters the properties of the envelopes, the gas gravity has significant effect on the properties of the density waves triggered by the core in the protoplanetary disk.

RECORDS. — Segarra-Moragues et al. (2022): sine loco. Very rare.
COMMENT
The species was recently recognized by Segarra-Moragues et al. (2022) for the previously considered Riella helicophylla var. macrocarpa P.Allorge. They reported just an Algerian sterile clone obtained from U. Kutschera, the species is therefore to be found wild in the country. According to these authors, it extends from the western Mediterranean in Portugal to the Eastern Mediterranean in Cyprus, replacing in many, but not all, countries the reports of R. helicophylla.

description: 295. Lyoneura Rondani, 1856: 179.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Lyoneura lugubris Rondani, 1856.
 TYPE SPECIES: Lyoneura lugubris Rondani, 1856, by original designation.
 CURRENT STATUS: Valid genus [teste Kertész (1902: 311)].
FAMILY: PSYCHODIDAE.
 REMARKS: There are two original spellings of this genus-group name in Rondani (1856): Lyoneura (page 179) and Lioneura (page 213). Acting as First Reviser, we select Lyoneura as the correct original spelling, which relegates Lioneura (q. v.) to unavailable name status. This genus-group name is missing from Wagner (1991) but was treated by Kertész (1902: 311) with the footnote “Genus ad Psychodidas pertinens, an Ulomyia Walker?”.

description: This study examines the effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from China, United States (US), European Union (EU) and the rest of Asia on economic growth conditional on the institutional quality of sub-Sahara Africa for the period (2003-2012). We develop theoretical argument from the existing literature to show that institutional heterogeneity may be one of the description for mixed findings of previous empirical studies on the growth effects of Chinese FDI in Africa. We use rule of law to proxy for institutional quality. Using Panel Threshold Regression (PTR) model, we show that FDI from all these sources have a positive impact on growth only above certain thresholds of rule of law and these thresholds differ from one source to the other. However, for FDI from China and the rest of Asia, the difference is marginal. That is, the growth effect of FDI from Asia is positive in countries with governance rating of at least -0.89 while negative in countries falling within a range of -1.35 and -0.89. In terms of FDI from EU and US, beneficial outcomes on growth are realized in countries with governance rating of at least -0.90 and -0.62, respectively. These results confirm that China and the rest of Asia do invest in both weak and strong governance countries in sub-Sahara Africa although the impact is different. Whereas, US and EU seem to invest only in strong governance African countries. However, the former is more sensitive to institutional quality than the latter.

description: We study the phase-covariant quantum cloning machine for qudits, i.e. the input states in d-level quantum system have complex coefficients with arbitrary phase but constant module. A cloning unitary transformation is proposed. After optimizing the fidelity between input state and single qudit reduced density opertor of output state, we obtain the optimal fidelity for 1 to 2 phase-covariant quantum cloning of qudits and the corresponding cloning transformation.

Robust testing in generalized linear models by sign-flipping score contributions

description: Generalized linear models are often misspecified due to overdispersion, heteroscedasticity and ignored nuisance variables. Existing quasi-likelihood methods for testing in misspecified models often do not provide satisfactory type-I error rate control. We provide a novel semi-parametric test, based on sign-flipping individual score contributions. The tested parameter is allowed to be multi-dimensional and even high-dimensional. Our test is often robust against the mentioned forms of misspecification and provides better type-I error control than its competitors. When nuisance parameters are estimated, our basic test becomes conservative. We show how to take nuisance estimation into account to obtain an asymptotically exact test. Our proposed test is asymptotically equivalent to its parametric counterpart.

description: Thick honeycomb-like electrospun scaffold with nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite (nHA) recently demonstrated its potential to promote proliferation and differentiation of a murine embryonic cell line (C3H10T1/2) to osteoblasts. In order to distinguish the respective effects of the structure and the composition on cell differentiation, beads-on-string fibers were used to manufacture thick honeycomb-like scaffolds without nHA. Mechanical and biological impacts of those beads-on string fibers were evaluated. Uniaxial tensile test showed that beads-on-string fibers decreased the Young Modulus and maximal stress but kept them appropriate for tissue engineering. C3H10T1/2 were seeded and cultured for 6 days on the scaffolds without any growth factors. Viability assays revealed the biocompatibility of the beads-on-string scaffolds, with adequate cells-materials interactions observed by confocal microscopy. Alkaline phosphatase staining was performed at day 6 in order to compare the early differentiation of cells to bone fate. The measure of stained area and intensity confirmed the beneficial effect of both honeycomb structure and nHA, independently. Finally, we showed that honeycomb-like electrospun scaffolds could be relevant candidates for promoting bone fate to cells in the absence of nHA. It offers an easier and faster manufacture process, in particular in bone-interface tissue engineering, permitting to avoid the dispersion of nHA and their interaction with the other cells.

description: We investigated species referred to as ‘Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis’ from the Far Eastern seas of Russia as well as Besa catenata (Yendo) M.S.Calderon & S.M.Boo from Mie Prefecture (Shima Peninsula, Japan, near to its type locality) morphologically and by analysis of sequences of plastid rbcL and mitochondrial COI-5P genes. Morphological and phylogenetic analyses showed that Ahnfeltiopsis flabelliformis does not occur in the Far Eastern seas. All algae previously identified as ‘A. flabelliformis’ from Russian waters belong to two morphologically and genetically distinct species that should be referred to the genus Besa as B. divaricata (Holmes) M.S.Calderon & S.M.Boo and B. japonica (Suringar) A.V. Skriptsova & S.Y.Shibneva, comb. nov. We found an unattached form of B. divaricata and named it as B. divaricata f. ahnfeltioides A.V.Skriptsova & S.Y.Shibneva based on its morphological and ecological features.
Convective intensification of magnetic flux tubes in stellar photospheres

description: The convective collapse of thin magnetic flux tubes in the photospheres of sun-like stars is investigated using realistic models of the superadiabatic upper convection zone layers of these stars. The strengths of convectively stable flux tubes are computed as a function of surface gravity and effective temperature. We find that while stars with T$_{eff}\ge$ 5500 K and log $g$$\ge$ 4.0 show flux tubes highly evacuated of gas, and hence strong field strengths, due to convective collapse, cooler stars exhibit flux tubes with lower field strengths. Observations reveal the existence of field strengths close to thermal equipartition limits even in cooler stars, implying highly evacuated tubes, for which we suggest possible reasons.

Accelerating and Broadening Australia's Microeconomic Reform Agenda

description: Australia is undoubtably a nation rich with opportunities, with extensive social and economic infrastructure, stable and responsible government, and abundant natural and developed resources. But Australia also faces some significant challenges, including reducing unacceptably high levels of unemployment, managing environmental concerns, and responding effectively to global competition and structural and regional change. To meet these challenges and make the most of our opportunities, we need to gain further leverage on our resources by improving our nation’s productivity and, importantly, flexibility. Microeconomic reform plays an important role in this regard by improving the incentives, which govern the way we use our resources. While Australia has certainly implemented some significant microeconomic reforms in the last decade or so ¾ the benefits of which are beginning to show ¾ the task is far from complete. For example, further reform is needed in transport, particularly rail and the waterfront; utilities; the labour market; resource access; and our tax system ¾ areas which impact on various sectors of our economy, not least of all our agricultural and resource sectors. But setting the right incentives for the productive use of our resources needs to extend beyond these traditional areas of reform. We also need to be sure we provide efficient and effective education, health care and community services. The management of our environment is also of critical importance, particularly our waterways. How we manage these resources, in both rural and urban areas, needs to be subject to rigorous scrutiny and, where appropriate, reform ¾ in many of these areas the reform process has only just begun.
