description: This doctoral research project explores the complexities implicated in ‘modernized’ publicly-funded and regulated settlement and integration services offered at an organization located in Ontario/Canada. Specifically, it delves into the structural, cultural, agential and reflexive dynamics emerging at this particular site and manifestation of post-migration social care. It also focalizes on the nature and purpose of social relations arising from this social service architecture. It especially considers the experiences of people whose lives were contoured by refugeehood, youthhood and service userhood/clienthood. This research effort draws on participations, observations, interviews and documents from an organizational ethnography conducted in 2015, or under the Conservative Government of Stephen Harper. It uses a critical realist relational sociological framework to make sense of research data. Overall, it contributes to forced migration and post-migration social care/ work scholarship through the use of an innovative meta/theoretical lens that detains multiple and diverse intricacies that are often left out by researchers working on the newcomer-serving sector. As the title indicates, this contribution is driven by the metaphor of ‘digging deep’ that probes the ontological social realities beyond those of the directly visible/observable.

description: We performed single electron tunneling measurements on bilayer ruthenate Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$. We observe an unusual oscillation in tunneling magnetoresistance near the metamagnetic quantum phase transition at temperatures below 7 K. The characteristic features of this oscillation suggest that it is unrelated to traditional quantum oscillations caused by orbit quantization. In addition, tunneling spectra are found to change sharply in the low bias voltage range of $V$ $

description: In general, cellular phenotypes, as measured by concentrations of cellular components, involve large degrees of freedom. However, recent measurement has demonstrated that phenotypic changes resulting from adaptation and evolution in response to environmental changes are effectively restricted to a low-dimensional subspace. Thus, uncovering the origin and nature of such a drastic dimension reduction is crucial to understanding the general characteristics of biological adaptation and evolution. Herein, we first formulated the dimension reduction in terms of dynamical systems theory: considering the steady growth state of cells, the reduction is represented by the separation of a few large singular values of the inverse Jacobian matrix around a fixed point. We then examined this dimension reduction by numerical evolution of cells consisting of thousands of chemicals whose concentrations determine phenotype. As a result of the evolution, phenotypic changes due to mutations and external perturbations were found to be mainly restricted to a one-dimensional subspace. One singular value of the inverse Jacobian matrix at a fixed point of concentrations was significantly larger than the others. The major phenotypic changes due to mutations and external perturbations occur along the corresponding left-singular vector, which leads to phenotypic constraint, and fitness dominantly changes in the same direction. Once such phenotypic constraint is acquired, phenotypic evolution to a novel environment takes advantage of this restricted phenotypic direction. This results in the convergence of phenotypic pathways across genetically different strains, as is experimentally observed, while accelerating further evolution.

Geometric equations of state in Friedmann-Lemaître universes admitting matter and Ricci Collineations

description: As a rule in General Relativity the spacetime metric fixes the Einstein tensor and through the Field Equations (FE) the energy-momentum tensor. However one cannot write the FE explicitly until a class of observers has been considered. Every class of observers defines a decomposition of the energy-momentum tensor in terms of the dynamical variables energy density ($μ$), the isotropic pressure ($p$), the heat flux $q^a$ and the traceless anisotropic pressure tensor $π_{ab}$. The solution of the FE requires additional assumptions among the dynamical variables known with the generic name equations of state. These imply that the properties of the matter for a given class of observers depends not only on the energy-momentum tensor but on extra a priori assumptions which are relevant to that particular class of observers. This makes difficult the comparison of the Physics observed by different classes of observers for the {\it same} spacetime metric. One way to overcome this unsatisfactory situation is to define the extra condition required among the dynamical variables by a geometric condition, which will be based on the metric and not to the observers. Among the possible and multiple conditions one could use the consideration of collineations. We examine this possibility for the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker models admitting matter and Ricci collineations and determine the equations of state for the comoving observers. We find linear and non-linear equations of state, which lead to solutions satisfying the energy conditions, therefore describing physically viable cosmological models.

description: We analyze the cold dark matter density profiles of 54 galaxy halos simulated with FIRE-2 galaxy formation physics, each resolved within $0.5\%$ of the halo virial radius. These halos contain galaxies with masses that range from ultra-faint dwarfs ($M_\star \simeq 10^{4.5} M_{\odot}$) to the largest spirals ($M_\star \simeq 10^{11} M_{\odot}$) and have density profiles that are both cored and cuspy. We characterize our results using a new analytic density profile that extends the standard Einasto form to allow for a pronounced constant-density core in the resolved innermost radius. With one additional core-radius parameter, $r_{c}$, this "core-Einasto" profile is able to characterize the shape and normalization of our feedback-impacted dark matter halos. In order to enable comparisons with observations, we provide fitting functions for $r_{c}$ and other profile parameters as a function of both $M_\star$ and $M_{\star}/M_{\rm halo}$. In agreement with similar studies done in the literature, we find that dark matter core formation is most efficient at the characteristic stellar-mass to halo-mass ratio $M_\star/M_{\rm halo} \simeq 5 \times 10^{-3}$, or $M_{\star} \sim 10^9 \, M_{\odot}$, with cores that are roughly the size of the galaxy half-light radius, $r_{c} \simeq 1-5$ kpc. Furthermore, we find no evidence for core formation at radii $\gtrsim 100\ \rm pc$ in galaxies with $M_{\star}/M_{\rm halo} < 5\times 10^{-4}$ or $M_\star \lesssim 10^6 \, M_{\odot}$. For Milky Way-size galaxies, baryonic contraction often makes halos significantly more concentrated and dense at the stellar half-light radius than dark matter only runs. However, even at the Milky Way scale, FIRE-2 galaxy formation still produces small dark matter cores of $\simeq 0.5-2$ kpc in size. Recent evidence for a ${\sim} 2$ kpc core in the Milky Way's dark matter halo is consistent with this expectation.

description: In two dimensional foams at equilibrium, triangular bubbles can be freely exchanged with 3-fold stars --three edges ending at a central vertex. This theorem is deduced here from Moukarzel's duality. Moreover, to probe the method, a few related properties are established: under slow gas diffusion, T2 processes are continuous for triangles but not for other types of bubbles. In general, the gas flow results in different configurations in the presence of a triangle than in the presence of a star.

description: The relation between the thermodynamic entropy production and non-Markovian evolutions is matter of current research. Here, we study the behavior of the stochastic entropy production in open quantum systems undergoing unital non-Markovian dynamics. In particular, for the family of Pauli channels we show that in some specific time intervals both the average entropy production and the variance can decrease, provided that the quantum dynamics fails to be P-divisible. Although the dynamics of the system is overall irreversible, our result may be interpreted as a transient tendency towards reversibility, described as a delta peaked distribution of entropy production around zero. Finally, we also provide analytical bounds on the parameters in the generator giving rise to the quantum system dynamics, so as to ensure irreversibility mitigation of the corresponding non-Markovian evolution.

description: Interest in the nutrition of the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) larvae is on the rise, leading to an increase in publications on this topic. The absence of a standard protocol and resulting differences in experimental designs reduces comparability among studies and impedes research on mealworm nutrition. To address this, a consensus standardised protocol was developed specifically for the evaluation of mealworm larval growth and performance in feeding trials. The efficacy of this protocol was evaluated through an international ring test involving seven partners using two wheat brans as dry feed (a standard bran and a local bran) at 27 °C and 60% relative humidity. As experimental units, plastic crates filled with 2.1 kg of bran and 10,000 4-week-old larvae were used with six replicates. Agar gel was provided as wet feed ad libitum. The mean individual larval weight and the number of larvae per crate were determined weekly until either three or more replicates ran out of feed or pupation exceeded 10%. At harvest, the total larval fresh biomass and amount of frass was determined. Larval samples were taken for chemical analysis. To assess the protocol, the within (repeatability) and between (reproducibility) laboratory variability was calculated for each parameter. The repeatability was good (limit at 12% (standard) and 14% (local)). The reproducibility was poorer with a limit 2.7 times higher for the standard feed (36%) and 3.8 times higher for the local feed (55%). For both feeds, the total larval fresh harvest, amount of frass and the larval protein concentration were the most consistent both within and among laboratories. The highest variability was observed at the early life stages and for the larvae ash content. The detailed consensus standard protocol and repeatability/reproducibility estimates can be used as basis for future mealworm feeding trials, comparing results and future improvements.

description: Perfectionism, which is characterised by the pursuit of high standards accompanied by critical evaluations of oneself and/or others, is linked to a variety of mental health conditions. Given that the presence of mental health conditions has increased in university students, helping them manage their perfectionism may help reduce their vulnerability to psychopathology. Seventy participants experiencing moderate to extreme levels of perfectionism participated in a 2-hour brief educational intervention, the ‘Intentional Imperfection Program’, which is based on the Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model. Participants completed measures related to the Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model (facets of perfectionism, rejection sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, perceived and objective social support, social support seeking behaviour, and life satisfaction) before, and two weeks after, completing the brief intervention. Findings showed that the brief intervention was largely effective in reducing hostility (r = -0.53, p <.001), and moderately effective in reducing depression (r = -0.47, p <.001), anxiety (r = -0.33, p =.010), catastrophising (r = -0.41, p =.001), self-oriented perfectionism (r = 0.48, p <.001) and increasing satisfaction with life (d = 0.31, p =.001). In addition, the brief intervention was mildly effective in reducing rejection sensitivity (d = 0.37, p <.001), socially-prescribed perfectionism (d = 0.40, p <.001) and increasing perceived social support (r = -0.29, p =.023). We further found that the majority of participants practiced the strategies in the 2-week interval between baseline and follow-up; however, the degree of practice generally did not appear to relate to better outcomes at follow-up. The feedback survey also indicated that the program was generally well accepted by participants but also highlighted some areas for improvement to increase the acceptability of the program. Overall, these findings related to the efficacy and acceptability of the intervention suggest that it is feasible to run and thus a randomised controlled trial is warranted.

Seeking food fluency in the home economics classroom
Creators: name: Kostelyk, Janna
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This inquiry explores how a proposed “food fluency framework” could be meaningfully incorporated into a Foods and Nutrition course through the use of teacher action research. The food fluency framework builds upon the current research on various food literacy definitions, in combination with the theoretical foundation of Brown and Paolucci’s mandate for home economics and their three systems of action: rational/technical, communicative/interpretive, and critical/emancipatory. Upon completing a conceptual analysis of various food literacy definitions and synthesizing them within these three systems of action, a new “food fluency framework” was created. Using action research in a Foods and Nutrition 11/12 class, I revised and updated unit and lesson plans to reflect the new framework for teaching, and used regular formative assessment tools to observe students’ responses to the new approach. I also used a reflective journal to keep track of observations and critical incidents in the classroom. The process and results of the study have allowed me to critique my own teaching practice, and the findings have implications for home economics educators planning units and lessons to better integrate a holistic approach that uses a “food fluency framework” to teaching Foods and Nutrition.

description: Em diálogo com Jacques Maritain, para quem o fim da política não é a conquista e a conservação do poder, mas sim o bem comum conforme a dignidade essencial da natureza humana criada à imagem e semelhança de Deus, procuramos identificar neste estudo as razões principais que conduziram à acusação da religião como uma ideologia alienadora da consciência humana. Em que termos se desenvolvem as distorções ideológicas na política e na religião? Estabeleceremos a distinção entre a libertação proposta pela religião e pela prática democrática, fundadas, respectivamente, na noção trans-histórica da transcendência de Deus e na noção de bem comum, e a libertação proposta pela ideologia política, assente na noção imanente de ordem justa e na noção de bem do Estado. Nesta proposta democrática da tradição cristã, é possível estabelecer uma relação intrínseca entre o bem comum político e o fim último e espiritual dos membros da sociedade, cabendo à comunidade política proporcionar a cada pes‑ soa a possibilidade de atingir a sua liberdade definitiva e derradeira, que não se restringe ao determinado temporalmente pelos homens.

Karl Polanyi como filósofo social: o papel do indivíduo na construção da liberdade
Creators: name: Henriques, Mendo Castro
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2020

description: O presente artigo explora a compreensão da individualidade como um dos principais motivos pelo qual Karl Polanyi e a sua obra, que em muito ultrapassa A Grande Transformação, se tornaram uma referência nas ciências humanas. A primeira vaga de polanyianos na década de 1960, consistia em antropólogos e economistas que investigavam as dinâmicas de sociedades pré-capitalistas. Uma segunda vaga, na década de 1980, consistia em sociólogos, juristas e politólogos. Desde a crise de 2007-2008, Polanyi foi assumido como um tribuno contra o globalismo e contribuiu para um novo paradigma de análise, uma nova visão geral (Übersichtsproblem) da liberdade social e da responsabilidade pessoal em sociedades complexas. O artigo pretende revelar como o conceito dialógico de individualidade, originado pela conversação filosófica de Polanyi com a doutrina social cristã, proporciona os conceitos de terra, trabalho e dinheiro desmercantilizados, patentes em A Grande Transformação e facilita a leitura crítica dos entrosamentos atuais entre economia, ética, sociedade e estado.

Legs: tibiae with ventral margin almost straight, metatibia ventrodistally with short fringe of cupreous hairs, tarsal claws arcuate and separate at base. Male: apex of aedeagus membranous, anterolateral portion sclerotized (Fig. 198), body of aedeagus of moderate length, basal third angular in lateral view, apodemes 2.5 x longer than body of aedeagus, flagellum thin, shorter than apodemes, transition to curved base gradual, basal appendage elongate, fused laterally with base of flagellum, not much projecting beyond base (Fig. 199).
Plant association. Not known.
Distribution. Central Panama (Fig. 257).
Specific epithet. The name is derived from the ethnic tribe of the Kuna.
 Discussion. Embates kunicus is a relatively slender species and seems to be related to the species near E. pictipennis and E. leucopleura. The elytral color­pattern is reduced to a short subapical fascia (derived from the post­macular element) and a humeral streak. The dark elytral macula is very faint.

Philosophizing on travelogues
Creators: name: Macaranas, Juan Rafael G.
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2020

description: One’s consciousness is expected to be more open to new ways and learnings during travel. As each traveler is unique, each one can grow in wisdom. This article will argue on the value of doing philosophy in travelling as it gives meaning, identity, and enrichment to one’s life. The traveler’s intention and worldview have impact on how each travel enriches and reveals the self. Mindful travelling sets the right attitude for philosophizing. Applying phenom‑ enology, following Gabriel Marcel’s primary reflection and secondary reflection, the author shares his travelogue, highlighting Aha moments. He underscores the need to learn to love oneself, one’s family, one’s community, and one’s humanity. He then proceeds to discuss the need to participate in cultivating ethical travel practices, starting with a personal traveler’s code of ethics. The author concludes with an invitation to continue to explore by travelling while philosophizing. Philosophizing on travelogues can be a way to living life fully.

Terminal Emulation System
Creators: name: Lee, Chun-Fu
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: Terminal emulation is a personal computer application software which emulates the terminal's behavior to communicate with the mainframe/host computer. It can show the terminal screen on a personal computer screen and make the mainframe/host computer interact with it as it would with a real terminal without any distinction.
Personal computers are increasingly more powerful and efficient today. Their mobility, compatibility, flexibility, and extendibility are definitely superior to the 'dumb' traditional terminals. Terminal emulation is therefore devised to take advantage of these personal computers' redemptions to offset the traditional terminal's drawbacks and inconveniences.
A terminal emulation is actually a very complex system. It needs to take care of terminal data presentation, input device handling, output device manipulation, communication line control and handshaking, system configuration processing, and so forth. A fully functioning terminal emulation further provides users with additional convenient utilities. The purpose of this report is to develop a VT220 terminal emulation system, mainly focusing on the terminal function, in a Windows environment.

description: In the study of certain noncommutative versions of Minkowski spacetime there is still a large ambiguity concerning the characterization of their symmetries. Adopting as our case study the kappaMinkowski noncommutative space-time, on which a large literature is already available, we propose a line of analysis of noncommutative-spacetime symmetries that relies on the introduction of a Weyl map (connecting a given function in the noncommutative Minkowski with a corresponding function in commutative Minkowski) and of a compatible notion of integration in the noncommutative spacetime. We confirm (and we establish more robustly) previous suggestions that the commutative-spacetime notion of Lie-algebra symmetries must be replaced, in the noncommutative-spacetime context, by the one of Hopf-algebra symmetries. We prove that in kappaMinkowski it is possible to construct an action which is invariant under a Poincare-like Hopf algebra of symmetries with 10 generators, in which the noncommutativity length scale has the role of relativistic invariant. The approach here adopted does leave one residual ambiguity, which pertains to the description of the translation generators, but our results, independently of this ambiguity, are sufficient to clarify that some recent studies (gr-qc/0212128 and hep-th/0301061), which argued for an operational indistiguishability between theories with and without a length-scale relativistic invariant, implicitly assumed that the underlying spacetime would be classical.

Contemporary world-society: from the globalization of communication to the communicational globalization of the world
Creators: name: Barroso, Paulo M.
Publisher: name: International Journal of Philosophy and Social Values
Year: 2020

description: Is globalization directly and causally related to communication? If so, how and why? How might a dialectic play out between communication and social interaction? What may the mass media have to do with the globalization of societies? Starting from these questions, the aim of this article is to conceptually approach and problematize the globalization of communication as a consequent transition or a changing process through a communicational globalization of the world. Following a theoretical research and a bibliographical review, this article explores and questions a dialectical perspective about the globalization of contemporaneity that is producing a single and universal world-society. Accepting the general and consensual assumption that communication is a universal form to link people, cultures, and ideas, this article aims: a) to advocate the growing and multiform uses, social functions, mass interactions, and extensive effects of communication in the world, so that our societies become a single contemporary world-society; b) to highlight the dialectic between society and communication through a globalization process, which is common to these two social phenomena.

description: A simple and non-destructive method for identification of a single molecular ion sympathetically cooled by a single laser cooled atomic ion in a linear Paul trap is demonstrated. The technique is based on a precise determination of the molecular ion mass through a measurement of the eigenfrequency of a common motional mode of the two ions. The demonstrated mass resolution is sufficiently high that a particular molecular ion species can be distinguished from other equally charged atomic or molecular ions having the same total number of nucleons.
A Comparative Study of Aspirations, Perceptions and Expectations in Rural and Urban Areas in Southwestern Nigeria: A test of the dualistic Theory

Subjects: Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: Some development economists have held that since the rural areas of developing countries are inhabited by people who are largely illiterate and poor peasant farmers as opposed to the urban dwellers who are literate, non-farm workers, an intrinsic dualism exists in these countries. These rural dwellers have been further characterized as having aspira­tions, expectations and perceptions which are not exactly shared by their urban dwelling counterparts. Following this characterization, they have justified a need for separate development strategies in order to prevent the rural lagging sector from acting as a drag on the urban progressive sector. This study therefore sets out to test the applicability of such theory in the Nigerian setting. Respondents were drawn from two large indus­trial urban centers and four farming communities in the southwest of the country. The results show that although there are marked socio-economic differences between ruralites and urbanites in southwestern Nigeria, they are not very different in their general aspirations, expectations and per­ceptions. It is found that irrespective of their location, the people look forward to a better life for themselves and members of their families and do perceive those factors likely to impede the rapid development of their country. A holistic rather than segmentary, dichotomous development approach is therefore advocated so as to enhance the even development of the country.
State transitions in the 2001/2002 outburst of XTE J1650-500

description: We present a study of the X-ray transient and black hole candidate XTE J1650-500 during its 2001/2002 outburst. The source made two state transitions between the hard and soft states, at luminosity levels that differed by a factor of ~5-10. The first transition, between hard and soft, lasted for ~30 days and showed two parts; one part in which the spectral properties evolve smoothly away from the hard state and another that we identify as the 'steep power law state'. The two parts showed different behavior of the Fe K emission line and QPO frequencies. The second transition, from soft to hard, lasted only \~15 days and showed no evidence of the presence of the 'steep power law state'. Comparing observations from the early rise and the decay of the outburst, we conclude that the source can be in the hard state in a range of more 10^4 in luminosity. We briefly discuss the state transitions in the framework of a two-flow model.
