description: A new approach is suggested to the problem of quantising causal sets, or topologies, or other such models for space-time (or space). The starting point is the observation that entities of this type can be regarded as objects in a category whose arrows are structure-preserving maps. This motivates investigating the general problem of quantising a system whose `configuration space' (or history-theory analogue) can be regarded as the set of objects in a category. In this first of a series of papers, we study this question in general and develop a scheme based on constructing an analogue of the group that is used in the canonical quantisation of a system whose configuration space is a manifold $Q\simeq G/H$ where G and H are Lie groups. In particular, we choose as the analogue of G the monoid of `arrow fields' on the category. Physically, this means that an arrow between two objects in the category is viewed as some sort of analogue of momentum. After finding the `category quantisation monoid', we show how suitable representations can be constructed using a bundle of Hilbert spaces over the set of objects.

description: It is generally agreed that black hole formation in gravity corresponds to thermalization in the dual CFT. It is sometimes argued that if the CFT evolution shows evidence of large redshift in gravity, then we have seen black hole formation in the CFT. We argue that this is not the case: a clock falling towards the horizon increases its redshift but remains intact as a clock; thus it is not `thermalized'. Instead, thermalization should correspond to a new phase after the phase of large redshift, where the infalling object turns into fuzzballs on reaching within planck distance of the horizon. We compute simple examples of the scattering vertex in the D1D5 CFT which, after many iterations, would lead to thermalization. An initial state made of two left-moving and two right-moving excitations corresponds, in gravity, to two gravitons heading towards each other. The thermalization vertex in the CFT breaks these excitations into multiple excitations on the left and right sides; we compute the amplitudes for several of these processes. We find secular terms that grow as $t^2$ instead of oscillating with $t$; we conjecture that this may be a feature of processes leading to thermalization.

Linear Stability of Black Holes and Naked Singularities

description: These notes follow from a course delivered at the V Jos\'e Pl\'{\i}nio Baptista School of Cosmology, held at Guarapari (Esp\'{\i}rito Santo) Brazil, from 30 September to 5 October 2021. A review of the current status of the linear stability of black holes and naked singularities is given. The standard modal approach, that takes advantage of the background symmetries and analyze separately the harmonic components of linear perturbations, is briefly introduced and used to prove that the naked singularities in the Kerr--Newman family, as well as the inner black hole regions beyond Cauchy horizons, are unstable and therefore unphysical. The proofs require a treatment of the boundary condition at the timelike boundary, which is given in detail. The nonmodal linear stability concept is then introduced, and used to prove that the domain of outer communications of a Schwarzschild black hole with a non-negative cosmological constant satisfies this stronger stability condition, which rules out transient growths of perturbations, and also to show that the perturbed black hole settles into a slowly rotating Kerr black hole. The encoding of the perturbation fields in gauge invariant curvature scalars and the effects of the perturbation on the geometry of the spacetime is discussed.

Interactive Whiteboards in the classroom

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Interactive Whiteboards (IWB) are a relatively new technology in the classroom although they have been used as a business presentation tool since the early 1990s. By exploring the current literature around IWB use in classrooms and documenting my own learning experiences by keeping a detailed daily reflections log, I delve into how a teacher like me who was new to technology could implement the use of an IWB into the daily literacy activities and routines in the context of a primary classroom. I initially considered the benefits and limitations as expressed in the literature that both informed and guided some of the choices I made with regards to installing and using an IWB in my grade two class. Documenting my learning journey in a daily reflection log rendered some worthwhile observation and insights about my own learning experience that may prove useful to new IWB users. Examining the professional development opportunities afforded for helping a new user of the IWB, at the district and school levels as well as online, emphasized the value of collaboration between teachers seeking to use the technology. It also revealed the lack of guidance for school districts implementing this technology in schools with regards to professional development programs for new teacher users although IWB use is quite widespread in places such as the United Kingdom and Australia. Classroom layout and management tips along with lesson plans and ideas for interactivity are also key considerations if teachers are to truly realize the potential for bettering student achievement by using an IWB. Teachers are constantly seeking for ways to improve their practice and help their students meet learning goals more effectively. IWBs are one way that may provide teachers with the means to bring some of the twenty-first century literacy skills to their classes, but they require a commitment to revamping pedagogy to use technology in an educationally sound manner.

description: We consider the eigenvalues of a large dimensional real or complex Ginibre matrix in the region of the complex plane where their real parts reach their maximum value. This maximum follows the Gumbel distribution and that these extreme eigenvalues form a Poisson point process, asymptotically as the dimension tends to infinity. In the complex case these facts have already been established by Bender \cite{MR2594353} and in the real case by Akemann and Phillips \cite{MR3192169} even for the more general elliptic ensemble with a sophisticated saddle point analysis. The purpose of this note is to give a very short direct proof in the Ginibre case with an effective error term. Moreover, our estimates on the correlation kernel in this regime serve as a key input for accurately locating $\max\Re\mathrm{Spec}(X)$ for any large matrix $X$ with i.i.d. entries in the companion paper \cite{2206.04448}.

description: This book has seven chapters. The first chapter is introductory in nature and it speaks about the migrant labourers. In chapter two we use Fuzzy Cognitive Maps to analyze the socio-economic problems of HIV/AIDS infected migrant labourers in rural areas of Tamil Nadu. In chapter three we analyze the role played by the government helping these migrant labourers with HIV/AIDS and factors of migration and their vulnerability in catching HIV/AIDS. For the first time Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps are used in the study of migrant labourers who have become HIV/AIDS victims. This study is done in Chapter IV. In chapter V we use Neutrosophic Relational Maps and we define some new neutrosophic tools like Combined Disjoint Block FRM, Combined Overlap NRM and linked NRM. We adopt these new techniques in the study and analysis of this problem. Chapter VI gives a very brief sketch of the life history of these 60 HIV/AIDS infected migrant labourers so that people from different social and cultural backgrounds follow our analysis. The last chapter gives suggestions and conclusions based on our study.

Black hole mass estimation from X-ray variability measurements in AGN

description: We propose a new method of estimation of the black hole masses in AGN based on the normalized excess variance, sigma_{nxs}^2. We derive a relation between sigma_{nxs}^2, the length of the observation, T, the light curve bin size, Delta t, and the black hole mass, assuming that (i) the power spectrum above the high frequency break, f_{bf}, has a slope of -2, (ii) the high frequency break scales with black hole mass, (iii) the power spectrum amplitude (in 'frequency x power' space) is universal and (iv) sigma_{nxs}^2 is calculated from observations of length T < 1/f_{bf}. Values of black hole masses in AGN obtained with this method are consistent with estimates based on other techniques such as reverberation mapping or the Mbh-stellar velocity dispersion relation. The method is formally equivalent to methods based on power spectrum scaling with mass but the use of the normalized excess variance has the big advantage of being applicable to relatively low quality data.

Josephson vortices and solitons inside pancake vortex lattice in layered superconductors
Creators: name: Koshelev, Alexei E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In very anisotropic layered superconductors a tilted magnetic field generates crossing vortex lattices of pancake and Josephson vortices (JVs). We study the properties of an isolated JV in the lattice of pancake vortices. JV induces deformations in the pancake vortex crystal, which, in turn, substantially modify the JV structure. The phase field of the JV is composed of two types of phase deformations: the regular phase and vortex phase. The phase deformations with smaller stiffness dominate. The contribution from the vortex phase smoothly takes over with increasing magnetic field. We find that the structure of the cores experiences a smooth yet qualitative evolution with decrease of the anisotropy. At large anisotropies pancakes have only small deformations with respect to position of the ideal crystal while at smaller anisotropies the pancake stacks in the central row smoothly transfer between the neighboring lattice positions forming a solitonlike structure. We also find that even at high anisotropies pancake vortices strongly pin JVs and strongly increase their viscous friction.

description: This paper introduces a new global dynamics and chaos indicator based on the method of Lagrangian Descriptor apt for discriminating ordered and deterministic chaotic motions in multidimensional systems. The selected implementation of this method requires only the knowledge of orbits on finite time windows and is free of the computation of the tangent vector dynamics (i.e., variational equations are not needed). To demonstrate its ability in visualising different dynamical behaviors, in particular for highlighting chaotic regions, several stability maps of classical systems, obtained with different phase space methods, are reproduced. The benchmark examples are rooted in discrete and continuous nearly-integrable dynamical systems, with prominent features played by resonances. These include the Chirikov standard map, higher dimensional symplectic and volume preserving maps, fundamental models of resonances, and a 3 degrees-of-freedom nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system with a dense web of resonances. The indicator thus appears to be relevant for understanding phase space transport mediated by resonances in nearly-integrable system, as ubiquitous in celestial mechanics or astrodynamics.

description: We study the high-energy asymptotics of the steady velocity distributions for model systems of granular media in various regimes. The main results obtained are integral estimates of solutions of the hard-sphere Boltzmann equations, which imply that the velocity distribution functions $f(v)$ behave in a certain sense as $C\exp(-r|v|^s)$ for $|v|$ large. The values of $s$, which we call {\em the orders of tails}, range from $s=1$ to $s=2$, depending on the model of external forcing. The method we use is based on the moment inequalities and careful estimating of constants in the integral form of the Povzner-type inequalities.

description: To better understand the influence of the activity cycle on the solar atmosphere, we report the time variation of the radius observed at 37 GHz ($λ$=8.1 mm) obtained by the Metsähovi Radio Observatory (MRO) through Solar Cycles 22 to 24 (1989-2015). Almost 5800 maps were analyzed, however, due to instrumental setups changes the data set showed four distinct behaviors, which requested a normalisation process to allow the whole interval analysis. When the whole period was considered, the results showed a positive correlation index of 0.17 between the monthly means of the solar radius at 37 GHz and solar flux obtained at 10.7 cm (F10.7). This correlation index increased to 0.44, when only the data obtained during the last period without instrumental changes were considered (1999-2015). The solar radius correlation with the solar cycle agrees with the previous results obtained at mm/cm wavelengths (17 and 48 GHz), nevertheless, this result is the opposite of that reported at submillimetre wavelengths (212 and 405 GHz).

description: Humans use causality and hypothetical retrospection in their daily decision-making, planning, and understanding of life events. The human mind, while retrospecting a given situation, think about questions such as "What was the cause of the given situation?", "What would be the effect of my action?", or "Which action led to this effect?". It develops a causal model of the world, which learns with fewer data points, makes inferences, and contemplates counterfactual scenarios. The unseen, unknown, scenarios are known as counterfactuals. AI algorithms use a representation based on knowledge graphs (KG) to represent the concepts of time, space, and facts. A KG is a graphical data model which captures the semantic relationships between entities such as events, objects, or concepts. The existing KGs represent causal relationships extracted from texts based on linguistic patterns of noun phrases for causes and effects as in ConceptNet and WordNet. The current causality representation in KGs makes it challenging to support counterfactual reasoning. A richer representation of causality in AI systems using a KG-based approach is needed for better explainability, and support for intervention and counterfactuals reasoning, leading to improved understanding of AI systems by humans. The causality representation requires a higher representation framework to define the context, the causal information, and the causal effects. The proposed Causal Knowledge Graph (CausalKG) framework, leverages recent progress of causality and KG towards explainability. CausalKG intends to address the lack of a domain adaptable causal model and represent the complex causal relations using the hyper-relational graph representation in the KG. We show that the CausalKG's interventional and counterfactual reasoning can be used by the AI system for the domain explainability.

description: Planets migrating in their natal discs can be captured into mean-motion resonance (MMR), in which the planets' periods are related by integer ratios. Recent observations indicate that planets in MMR can be either apsidally aligned or anti-aligned. How these different configurations arise is unclear. In this paper, we study the MMR capture process of migrating planets, focusing on the property of the apsidal angles of the captured planets. We show that the standard picture of MMR capture, in which the planets undergo convergent migration and experience eccentricity damping due to planet-disc interactions, always leads to apsidal anti-alignment of the captured planets. However, when the planets experience eccentricity driving from the disc, apsidally aligned configuration in MMR can be produced. In this configuration, both planets' resonance angles circulate, but a "mixed" resonance angle librates and traps the planets near the nominal resonance location. The MMR capture process in the presence of disc eccentricity driving is generally complex and irregular, and can lead to various outcomes, including apsidal alignment and anti-alignment, as well as the disruption of the resonance. We suggest that the two resonant planets in the K2-19 system, with their moderate eccentricities and aligned apsides, have experienced eccentricity driving from their natal disc in the past.

description: Given the context of transitions related to rapid urbanization, the roles that rural economies and societies will have to play (particularly smallholder farmers and other rural producers) in creating sustainable and inclusive food systems, in generating employment and incomes and in contributing to more balanced, equitable and mutually reinforcing patterns of rural-urban development in Africa require the attention of analysts, policymakers and development programmes in the years ahead. Addressing challenges related to a bulging population of young people will be particularly important in any work on the rural-urban nexus, in which youth migration plays critical roles. This is borne out by an analysis of evidence from sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere, which stresses the importance of increasing productivity and incomes among rural people, particularly smallholders, during processes of economic and social transformation. Emerging trends and opportunities – such as the increasing demand for food and the changing nature of that demand as consumer preferences evolve, urbanization, demographic patterns that mean young people are an increasingly important proportion of the overall population, and more integrated food value chains – all point to the importance of ensuring key rural dynamics are taken into account in developing rural-urban linkages. Taking account of these dynamics will mean addressing key rural-urban inequalities and connectivity gaps, developing more integrated and inclusive links within food systems and agricultural value chains, testing spatial and territorial approaches to development that provide valuable tools to integrate the rural dimension into debates surrounding urbanization, the promotion of a more sustainable urbanization, and building decent employment in food value chains. Nonetheless, the review of evidence in this paper suggests that, while urbanization potentially opens up opportunities for inclusive rural and structural transformation, this can only be achieved when suitable policies and investments are put in place to adequately address the particular needs of often-neglected rural people who play critical roles in food systems.

description: We introduce a new approach to short-term earthquake prediction based on the concept of selforganization of seismically active fault networks. That approach is named "Reverse Detection of Precursors" (RDP), since it considers precursors in reverse order of their appearance. This makes it possible to detect precursors undetectable by direct analysis. Possible mechanisms underlying RDP are outlined. RDP is described with a concrete example: we consider as short-term precursors the newly introduced chains of earthquakes reflecting the rise of an earthquake correlation range; and detect (retrospectively) such chains a few months before two prominent Californian earthquakes - Landers, 1992, M = 7.6, and Hector Mine, 1999, M = 7.3, with one false alarm. Similar results (described elsewhere) are obtained by RDP for 21 more strong earthquakes in California (M >= 6.4), Japan (M >= 7.0) and the Eastern Mediterranean (M >= 6.5). Validation of the RDP approach requires, as always, prediction in advance for which this study sets up a base. We have the first case of advance prediction; it was reported before Tokachi-oki earthquake (near Hokkaido island, Japan), Sept. 25, 2003, M = 8.1. RDP has potentially important applications to other precursors and to prediction of other critical phenomena besides earthquakes. In particular, it might vindicate some short-term precursors, previously rejected as giving too many false alarms.

Impact of personal traits on language preference by bilinguals

Introduction

Correct switching of native and non-native languages is one of the major stumbling blocks of communication. The current study aimed to detect psychological characteristics that make bilinguals prefer one language to the other one.

Methods

54 healthy volunteers, aged 17 to 32 years and divided into two equal groups according to their mother tongue (Russian and Ukrainian), participated in this study. They listened to a set of 2-3 syllable emotion-laden words that express sense and value in Russian and Ukrainian (100 words each). After the experiment, the participants were asked to evaluate the stimuli words as "pleasant/unpleasant" and "relaxing/activating" on the scale from -5 to 5 based on the subjective personal experience. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory, L.A. Regush technique of diagnostics of ability to predict and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale.

Results

The level of emotional burnout did not differ significantly between the both groups of participants, which allowed us to exclude the influence of burnout on the perception of verbal stimuli. We detected a direct correlation between the negative perception of the non-native (Russian) language, high impulsiveness, low ability to predict and low flexibility of thinking.

Conclusion

Different subjective impulsivity of the both groups may indicate that the negative rating of language is also the result of impulsivity and reactivity. We argue that the people with the negative perception of the non-native (Russian) language have more rigid attitude towards the language and hardly tend to change their plans and behavior.

description: In the present work the role that a generalized uncertainty principle could play in the quantization of the electromagnetic field is analyzed. It will be shown that we may speak of a Fock space, a result that implies that the concept of photon is properly defined. Nevertheless, in this new context the creation and annihilation operators become a function of the new term that modifies the Heisenberg algebra, and hence the Hamiltonian is not anymore diagonal in the occupation number representation. Additionally, we show the changes that the energy expectation value suffers as result of the presence of an extra term in the uncertainty principle. The existence of a deformed dispersion relation is also proved.

title: A Study of the Impact of the DES Pamphlet "Curriculum Organisation and Classroom Practice in Primary Schools: A Discussion Paper"
Creators: name: Wenham, Peter D.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1994

description: The DES pamphlet Curriculum Organisation and Classroom Practice in Primary Schools: A Discussion Paper published in January 1992 represented a governmental initiative with regard to pedagogy. This study examines the political arid educational context in which the Discussion Paper was prepared and disseminated including the policies of the 'New Right', intensification of teachers' work, 'progressivism' in the primary sector and the debate over standards. Reference to these four topics will be made throughout.

 The study explores two main themes. The 'career' of the Discussion Paper is considered as it progressed from its commissioning and publication in London to schools and classrooms. Its immediate impact on the media - particularly the press - will be analysed. Its subsequent influence on one Local Authority in the context of diminution of Local Authority power and on four primary schools in that Local Authority will be assessed. Although there is evidence which suggests that the Discussion Paper had some influence on the policies of head teachers and the practices of teachers its impact was limited because its recommendations were not mandatory and schools were preoccupied with implementing the legal requirements of the National Curriculum.

 The second theme relates to the manner in which the Discussion Paper was, in turn, mediated in a chain reaction by various agencies or 'interest groups'. Each, to some extent, refashioned the Discussion Paper in its preferred image. For example, the intentions of the Secretary of State in commissioning the Discussion Paper are considered. The ways in which the press reported the Discussion Paper in a climate of 'moral panic’ with the prospect of a general election is analysed. The conflict of the 'interest groups' represented during the writing of the Paper which serve to explain its characteristics is studied. Reference is also made to its reception by the academic community and some of the varied responses are noted. Following its delivery to schools and Local Authorities the response of one LEA - Buckinghamshire - and the manner in which this Local Authority mediated it to schools is outlined. The ways in which head teachers, in turn, mediated the Discussion Paper to their staffs is analysed together with the strategies employed by class teachers in response. The study suggests that in schools the Discussion Paper was used as a kind of resource. Head, teachers and class teachers appropriated it for their own purposes. For example some recommendations were selected to legitimise current or new school policies and classroom practices while others were ignored or rejected.
Identifying work-related stressors and abuses and assessing their impact on the health of migrant domestic workers in Singapore.

description: The link between the nature of domestic work and the negative impact it has on the health of migrant domestic workers is generally neglected in research especially in the context of Singapore. With increasing reports on employer abuse against migrant domestic workers (MDWs) in Singapore’s media, it is becoming more evident that such a link does exist. More research is therefore required in the neglected area of the impact that work-related stressors and abuse have on the physical and mental well-being of MDWs in Singapore. Our explorative study aims to fill this gap. The objectives of our study were to identify the common work-related stressors and abuses facing migrant domestic workers in Singapore, and how they impact the health of MDWs. The key questions asked were: 1) What are the stressors facing migrant domestic workers when working in Singapore? 2) What effects do the work-related stressors and abuses have on the physical and mental wellbeing of migrant domestic workers? 3) What mechanisms do they use to cope with health-related problems? 4) What are the social support structures available to them and how do the domestic workers perceive their effectiveness? From our findings, the most common forms of work-related stressors and abuses included being overworked, denial of rest days, restrictions in movement and communication, food deprivation, and verbal and emotional abuse. As a result of working under these conditions, physical ailments such as body pain and aches, headaches, gastric problems, and weight loss developed for the majority of our participants. Symptoms of mental illness such as high levels of anxiety, stress, loneliness, and sadness were also significant health concerns. Although employers are responsible for their migrant domestic worker’s well-being, we found that if the employer refuses to fulfil his/her obligations, 5 migrant domestic workers are left with very few options in obtaining medical assistance for physical and emotional ailments. Without access to medical help then, migrant domestic workers must develop mechanisms to cope with their health problem, which in turn, renders them highly vulnerable to developing further health complications. This report is based on several months of research conducted in Singapore. We held a total of 15 focus group discussions (FGDs) with 58 migrant domestic workers who were victims of employer or agent abuse during their employment in Singapore. The FGDs were conducted at the Humanitarian Organization for Migration Economics’ (H.O.M.E.) shelter between July and August of 2010. All our participants will remain anonymous in order to protect their identity.

IFAD RESEARCH SERIES 6 - Why food and nutrition security matters for inclusive structural and rural transformation

description: The prevalence of undernourished people in the world has declined steadily over the last few decades, but almost 800 million people remain undernourished. Deeper and more rapid progress against food and nutrition insecurity is urgently required. Structural and rural transformation must play its role. In theory, inclusive structural and rural transformation – i.e. a transformation that delivers widely held benefits – implies expanded food and nutrition security, which, in turn, supports the transformation. In fact, where structural and rural transformation has been significant, it has been accompanied by wide and deep improvements in food and nutrition security, with food availability, food access and food utilization all registering significant improvements. Higher labour and land productivity linked to commercialization, specialization and mechanization of production processes has boosted food supplies. Livelihood options have expanded – especially off-farm – and incomes have risen, allowing households to increase the quantity and quality of food they consume. This has led to improved health and education outcomes, affirming and advancing core drivers of structural and rural transformation. But there are important exceptions and caveats. Even where structural and rural transformation has been rapid and sustained, incomes have increased and food supply has been relatively easy with comparatively low and stable prices, and food and nutrition insecurity has persisted, with undernutrition, overnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies coexisting in several contexts. Implications for policy centre on nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive measures and investments that render rapidly transforming food systems better able to deliver and support healthy and nutritious diets for all consumers, but especially for pregnant women and young children for whom malnutrition has long-lasting consequences. Also key are policy measures to counter the effects of forces and conditions that militate against expanded participation by small-scale farmers and traders in commercial food production and trade – effects that, by extension, hinder this central dimension of inclusive structural and rural transformation.
Have we detected one of the sources responsible for an early reionisation of the Universe?

description: In a recent paper Pell'o et al. have reported a candidate z=10 galaxy, A1835#1916, which was found in a near-infrared survey of the central regions of the gravitational lensing cluster A1835. If this detection is confirmed and the detection rate turns out to be typical, then the volume averaged ultraviolet emissivity must be rising rapidly with increasing redshift. For a magnification due to gravitational lensing by a factor M>25 estimated by Pell'o et al., the inferred star formation rate density at z=10 would be about one order of magnitude higher than estimates of the star formation rate density at z=6. Objects at z=10 would contribute substantially to the total source counts at 1.6 micronm and the estimated space density of sources may exceed the space density of dark matter haloes in a LCDM model. We therefore argue that if A1835#1916 is indeed at z=10 then either the magnification factor may have been overestimated or the galaxy has a top-heavy initial mass function. Sources with the ultraviolet flux and space density of A1835#1916 may be sufficient to reionise most of the diffuse hydrogen in the Universe at z=10. We further use a correlation between the equivalent width and the redshift of the Ly-alpha emission line with respect to the systemic redshift observed in Lyman break galaxies to obtain constraints on the ionisation state of the surrounding intergalactic medium (IGM) from the Gunn-Peterson absorption. These constraints also argue in favour of the surrounding IGM being partially or fully ionised.
