description: With increase in global business and ventures into new markets, development of cross border merger and acquisition remains to be one of the key attractive strategy for global firms. This paper studies cross-border merger and acquisition on performance for acquirers as evidence from U.S. firms. This paper addresses various issues regarding effect of cross-border M&A that is conducted by the US acquirers and the factors that influence the short term and long-term stock performance by considering a sample of 313 cross-border deals initiated by US bidding firms from 2010 to 2014.This research utilizes the event study which indicates works towards assessing cross-border merger and acquisition. From the results, it indicates that there is a positive relationship between shareholder’s wealth for bidding in the short run and in the long run, it leads to reduction in the wealth of the shareholders. In the event on day 1 before and after, the stock performance in the company increases the amount of CAR. In the long run, US acquirors in the long run losses in a buy and hold abnormal returns. with performance of stock, through a univariate analysis, it indicates that the target public status in the short term has a negative effect on performance . There are also some of the factors that have an effect on the stock performance and these include the target public status of the firm which is significantly negative in both short and long run performance. Those bidders which acquires firms from the civil-law, those which are culturally distant and good business and institutional environment courtiers gains abnormal returns which is higher in the short run. Those acquisitions that are deemed to create a significantly higher shareholder’s wealth in the long run are paid in form of cash and also between the related industries.
Tracey Emin: Art, Confession, and Controversy

confessional art

description: Tracey Emin is a contemporary British artist whose career is surrounded by controversy. Often referred to as the enfant terrible of the British contemporary art world, her pieces explore topics that many other artists avoid. Her infamous readymade piece My Bed, which features her dirty, unmade bed surrounded by the debris of a four-day mental breakdown, garnered immense public interest, scathing criticism, and a Turner Prize nomination. She is also known for the deeply personal, confessional nature of her work, often subverting the cultural norms around topics such publicity and privacy, or masculinity and femininity. She has faced intense scrutiny from fellow artists, tabloids, art critics, and the general public. A main aim of my thesis is to determine what makes Emin such a controversial figure in the art world. What differentiates controversial art from non- controversial art? How can visual analysis and comparison to other controversial artistic movements expose the ingredients of a controversial artwork or artist?
title: The flaws of the expressivist objection: an inadequate argument against prenatal testing and/or disability-selective abortion
Creators: name: Kavanagh, Aifric
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: The expressivist objection claims that the use of prenatal testing and/or disability-selective abortion results in the expression of negative and/or discriminatory messages to people with disabilities. From this argument, one can deduce a claim that it is morally wrong to use these technologies. These technologies are inextricably linked to both the rights of people with disabilities and the rights of women to reproductive autonomy. This tension is explored, and four flaws of the expressivist objection are examined: 1) its claim that the aforementioned messages expressed are discriminatory; 2) its presumption that prospective parents’ motivations for using these technologies concern only the future child’s life, and its consequent oversight of prospective parents’ concerns regarding their own lives as caregivers of a child with a disability; 3) its reliance upon the ‘loss of support’ argument; and 4) the fact that the consequences of acting in accordance with the expressivist objection would be absurd and unreasonable. This thesis concludes that the expressivist objection is an inadequate argument against the use of prenatal testing and/or disability-selective abortion, and recommends excellent, comprehensive genetic counselling as a possible compromise that respects both the rights of people with disabilities and women’s rights.

description: We analyze energetics of a non-Gaussian process described by a stochastic differential equation of the Langevin type. The process represents a paradigmatic model of a nonequilibrium system subject to thermal fluctuations and additional external noise, with both sources of perturbations considered as additive and statistically independent forcings. We define thermodynamic quantities for trajectories of the process and analyze contributions to mechanical work and heat. As a working example we consider a particle subjected to a drag force and two independent Levy white noises with stability indices $α=2$ and $α=1$. The fluctuations of dissipated energy (heat) and distribution of work performed by the force acting on the system are addressed by examining contributions of Cauchy fluctuations to either bath or external force acting on the system.

description: Galactic winds are a crucial player in galaxy formation and evolution, but observations of them have proven extraordinarily difficult to interpret, leaving large uncertainties even in basic quantities such as mass outflow rates. Part of this uncertainty arises from the relatively simplistic models to which complex wind observations are often fit, which inevitably discard much of the available information. Here we present an analysis of the wind of the nearby dwarf starburst galaxy M82 using a semi-analytic model that is able to take advantage of the full three-dimensional information present in position-position-velocity data cubes measured in the Hi 21 cm line, the CO 2-1 line, and the Ha line. Our best-fitting model produces position-dependent spectra in good agreement with the observations, and shows that the total wind mass flux in the atomic and molecular phases is approx 10 M_sun yr-1 (corresponding to a mass loading factor of about 2 - 3), with less than a factor of two uncertainty; the mass flux in the warm ionised phase is more poorly constrained, and may be comparable to or smaller than this. At least over the few kpc off the plane for which we trace the outflow, it appears to be a wind escaping the galaxy, rather than a fountain that falls back. Our fits require that clouds of cool gas entrained into the wind expand only modestly, suggesting they are magnetically confined. Finally, we demonstrate that attempts to model the wind using simplifying assumptions such as instantaneous acceleration and a constant terminal wind speed can yield significantly erroneous results.
Exploration and minimization of thermal bridging due to exterior architectural components and analysis of alternative façade installation methods

description: ASHRAE 90.1 defines thermal bridging as an element that has higher thermal conductivity than the surrounding materials, which creates a path of least resistance for heat transfer. Thermal bridging commonly occurs in building envelope design and can directly impact a building's energy usage, yet it often remains an overlooked and misunderstood concept in practice. An evaluation of existing resources and current practice methods has demonstrated that there is still room for improvement regarding considerations of thermal bridging impact. Current information is largely fragmented in terms of specific material use or usage type. This report provides a critical literature review for better understanding of how engineers can achieve more efficient thermal performance design through a comprehensive understanding of thermal bridging in terms of impact, measurement, and mitigation. This critical literature review is structured into three subsections corresponding to three common façade construction types, those being masonry veneer cladding, cantilever balcony slabs, and steel curtain walls.

description: Whether disordered and quasiperiodic many-body quantum systems host a long-lived localized phase in the thermodynamic limit has been the subject of intense recent debate. While in one dimension substantial evidence for the existence of such a many-body localized (MBL) phase exists, the behavior in higher dimensions remains an open puzzle. In two-dimensional disordered systems, for instance, it has been argued that rare regions may lead to thermalization of the whole system through a mechanism dubbed the avalanche instability. In quasiperiodic systems, rare regions are altogether absent and the fate of a putative many-body localized phase has hitherto remained largely unexplored. In this work, we investigate the localization properties of two many-body quasiperiodic models, which are two-dimensional generalizations of the Aubry-André model. By studying the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of large systems, we find a long-lived MBL phase, in contrast to random systems. Furthermore, we show that deterministic lines of weak potential, which appear in investigated quasiperiodic models, support large-scale transport, while the system as a whole does not thermalize. Our results demonstrate that quasiperiodic many-body systems have the remarkable and counter-intuitive capability of exhibiting coexisting localization and transport properties - a phenomenon reminiscent of the behavior of supersolids. Our findings are of direct experimental relevance and can be tested, for instance, using state-of-the-art cold atomic systems.

description: We advance the understanding of K-theory of quadratic forms by computing the slices of the motivic spectra representing hermitian K-groups and Witt-groups. By an explicit computation of the slice spectral sequence for higher Witt-theory, we prove Milnor's conjecture relating Galois cohomology to quadratic forms via the filtration of the Witt ring by its fundamental ideal. In a related computation we express hermitian K-groups in terms of motivic cohomology.

description: The world claims to love resilience, but is irked at that of a cockroach, which only knows how to survive and is very good at it. Every moment leaves its impression, and to wear the worst moment’s marks can be seen as martyrdom, perpetual victimhood, milking a situation. What if ache, armor, ugly is all one has to show for how they continued living in crisis? The purpose of shame is not to make better people, but quieter ones. There is an angry Puritan haunting the house, and to exorcise him, you must lean into the dirty, the awful, the unspeakables of your own life. You must learn your body, its limits and indentions, and gleefully call it yours. You must love mystery, the other extreme of faith he does not know, and always entertain it. Lest you always fear the ghost, lest you inevitably become one.

description: The development of a new generation of theoretical models for tidal disruptions is timely, as increasingly diverse events are being captured in surveys of the transient sky. Recently, Gezari et al. reported a discovery of a new class of tidal disruption events: the disruption of a helium-rich stellar core, thought to be a remnant of a red giant (RG) star. Motivated by this discovery and in anticipation of others, we consider tidal interaction of an RG star with a supermassive black hole (SMBH) which leads to the stripping of the stellar envelope and subsequent inspiral of the compact core toward the black hole. Once the stellar envelope is removed the inspiral of the core is driven by tidal heating as well as the emission of gravitational radiation until the core either falls into the SMBH or is tidally disrupted. In the case of tidal disruption candidate PS1-10jh we find that there is a set of orbital solutions at high eccentricities in which the tidally stripped hydrogen envelope is accreted by the SMBH before the helium core is disrupted. This places the RG core in a portion of parameter space where strong tidal heating can lift the degeneracy of the compact remnant and disrupt it before it reaches the tidal radius. We consider how this sequence of events explains the puzzling absence of the hydrogen emission lines from the spectrum of PS1-10jh and gives rise to its other observational features.

description: Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a technique for making atomically thin layers of a sample by aiming an ultraviolet laser in a vacuum chamber and letting laser pulses ablate the desired deposition material. Using PLD, we can create devices of different layers of materials at various desired thicknesses. In this project, we report the results of a heterostructure with \ce{YAlO3} (YAO) and \ce{NdNiO3} (NNO) deposited on an \ce{SrTiO3} (STO) substrate. Taking advantage of the interactions between crystalline layers, we aim to deposit a buffer layer of \ce{YAlO3}, about a few 100 nanometers in thickness, in order to create a thin layer of \ce{NdNiO3} that is conductive at all temperatures. We report atomic force microscopy, X-ray reflectivity, and X-ray diffraction data on two samples to evaluate the relative success of our current deposition conditions.

description: This paper examines the impact of and on the media in Hungary’s recently diminished democracy. This paper acknowledges the importance of an independent and flourishing media body to sustain democracy. Hungary’s democracy is in regress, and the media is increasingly state influenced. The thesis examines relevant laws, policies, and practices to provide context for the watershed 2018 election that led to many critical independent media outlets' closure, consolidation, or sale. As the main case, this thesis examined the events that led to the closure of Magyar Nemzet, comparing it against its peers and then contextualizing it into the conversation surrounding democracy in Hungary. The research discovered that despite adverse policies, corrupt oligarchs, and sustained losses, the sheer slightness of Hungary's independent media has led to its near extinction. Hungarian independent media has fallen below the critical mass to sustain itself and is in a death spiral.

description: One of the main milestones in quantum information science is to realise quantum devices that exhibit an exponential computational advantage over classical ones without being universal quantum computers, a state of affairs dubbed quantum speedup, or sometimes "quantum computational supremacy". The known schemes heavily rely on mathematical assumptions that are plausible but unproven, prominently results on anticoncentration of random prescriptions. In this work, we aim at closing the gap by proving two anticoncentration theorems and accompanying hardness results, one for circuit-based schemes, the other for quantum quench-type schemes for quantum simulations. Compared to the few other known such results, these results give rise to a number of comparably simple, physically meaningful and resource-economical schemes showing a quantum speedup in one and two spatial dimensions. At the heart of the analysis are tools of unitary designs and random circuits that allow us to conclude that universal random circuits anticoncentrate as well as an embedding of known circuit-based schemes in a 2D translation-invariant architecture.

An investigation of the adoption by banks and acceptance by bank customers of internet banking in the Sultanate of Oman
Creators: name: Tabsh, Bassam Khalil Hamdan
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Banking, finance and investment not elsewhere classified

description: Internet banking has been part of the American and European banking system for many years, but only since 2005 have Omani banks adopted this technology. There is little research on Internet banking adoption in Oman and no research on Omani customers' acceptance of Internet banking. This two-phase research study used the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical basis. The UTAUT model was modified by adding three constructs (culture, customers' attitude towards computers, trust) to investigate the key constructs influencing customers acceptance of Internet banking. In phase one fourteen managers in seven Omani banks were interviewed to clarify their understanding of Internet banking and determine the main challenges in the early stages of system adoption. The banks had a clear understanding of Internet banking terminology and identified a number of barriers in the early stages of Internet banking adoption which could be classified into internal and external barriers. The research identified the main constructs affecting customers' acceptance of Internet banking from the managers' perspectives and resulted in the exclusion of the 'voluntariness of use' moderator from the original UTAUT model. The second phase explored the key constructs affecting customers' acceptance of Internet banking. Multivariate analysis was used to analyse questionnaire responses from 611 customers. The results identified that one independent construct 'attitude towards Internet banking' comprising six sub-constructs influenced customers' intentions towards Internet banking. Gender, age and educational level moderators influenced the independent construct. Based upon these findings a model of Internet banking acceptance and use in the Omani context was developed that illustrates the key constructs affecting customers' acceptance of Internet banking in Oman. This is considered the major contribution of this research. The study offers potential solutions to overcome Omani customers' loyalty to traditional banking and encourage a shift towards adoption of Internet banking.

We use this duality and the known Tannakian duality due to Saavedra to study morphisms between flat affine group schemes. Next, we apply our new duality to the category of stratified sheaves on a smooth scheme over a Dedekind ring R to define the relative differential fundamental group scheme of the given scheme and compare the fibers of this group scheme with the fundamental group scheme of the fibers. When R is a complete DVR of equal characteristic we show that this category is Tannakian in the sense of Saavedra.

mentor perspective

description: Youth mentoring is a concept that has been in existence for a very long time and will continue to be prevalent in generations to come. Formal youth mentoring is a tool first established in the United States of America over a century ago with the hopes of positively impacting children, particularly at-risk youth. The prevalence of youth mentoring programs continues to grow, but the research into the true benefit of these programs, specifically with the central focus being mentors, is just starting to develop. With the idea of the mentor mindset at its focus, this thesis gives an account of the current state of mentoring programs within the United States and emphasizes the need to remain realistic about the positive effects of mentoring. Two youth mentoring programs, Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Plan II/KIPP Partnership, will be assessed and compared based on two sets of standards to create quality relationships between mentors and mentees and support mentors in fostering those connections. From there, recommendations will be made on ways to potentially improve the Plan II/KIPP Partnership’s program in a way that will improve the feeling of community and support for its mentors. It should be noted that my personal experience within the Plan II/KIPP Partnership as a mentor within the KIPP Austin Academy of Arts & Letters will be used to give an insider perspective of the impact of its program on its mentors.

The utility of using a RAD-type development approach for a large, complex information system
Creators: name: Berger, Hilary
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Information systems organisation and management

description: Rapid Application Development (RAD) is an iterative and incremental development approach that evolved to address problems associated with the more structured development approaches such as the Waterfall Model. Even though RAD is becoming an increasingly accepted development approach, much of the existing literature focuses on small to medium sized development projects. There is considerable debate about its application for large, complex IS development arenas. This research utilises a development project currently being implemented within UK Regional Government as a case study. It represents an atypical opportunity to examine the utility of RAD within a large, complex IS development, presenting the real-life context, experiences and commentary from individuals directly involved. An interpretive stance is adopted to gain a broad view of the organizational environment of the IS and the wider external context within which the information system is related. An ethnographic approach was selected enabling a richer and deeper interpretation, and a more comprehensive understanding of the issues under investigation. This methodology included non-participatory observation, indirect observation and informal semi-structured interviews. It also involved multiple strategies of data collection and analysis to facilitate cross-checking and to yield stronger substantiation of analysis. The thesis examines the cultural aspects inherent in the studied environment that impacted severely upon the project. It further explores a number of other issues held problematic for large and complex development arenas: managing user involvement and expectations, communications, requirements elicitation, decision-making and testing. Analysis of the case study material has aided the production of a model of critical success factors that could be applied to other such environments adopting a RAD-type approach. Thus it contributes to the field of IS knowledge by informing the debate surrounding applicability of RAD across large, complex development arenas.
Measuring and enhancing offenders' motivation for treatment and change

Subjects: Other psychology not elsewhere classified

description: Motivating offenders to engage in a treatment programme is important as engagement in treatment is often seen as an intermediate goal before behaviour change (Ward, Day, Howells & Birgden, 2004). A lack of motivation is a reason why some offenders drop out of treatment (McMurran & McCulloch, 2007; Pelisser, 2007) and dropping out of treatment can lead to an increased risk of recidivism (Cann, Falshaw, Nugent, & Friendship, 2003; Hanson & Bussiere, 1998; McMurran & Theodosi, 2007; Hanson & Harris, 2000). This thesis reports on the construction, on-going development and testing of a goal-based semi-structured interview procedure that holds potential to explore an offender's treatment motivation: the Personal Aspirations and Concerns Inventory â€“ for Offenders (PACI-O). A pilot study confirmed the suitability of the PACI-O for use with offenders. Psychometric testing indicated that the PACI-O can identify adaptive and maladaptive motivation profiles in an offender. These motivation profiles were found to be related to the degree to which the offenders in the general prison population engaged in a cognitive skills treatment programme. This indicates that the PACI-O has potential as a measure of offender treatment motivation. Results of a randomised controlled trial indicated that some offenders who complete the PACI-O before treatment engage more in treatment, finish with a better motivation structure and have reduced impulsivity levels (high impulsivity has been linked to recidivism risk; Wong & Gordon, 1998) compared to offenders who attend treatment as usual.

description: We discuss the distribution of the largest eigenvalue of a random N x N Hermitian matrix. Utilising results from the quantum gravity and string theory literature it is seen that the orthogonal polynomials approach, first introduced by Majumdar and Nadal, can be extended to calculate both the left and right tail large deviations of the maximum eigenvalue. This framework does not only provide computational advantages when considering the left and right tail large deviations for general potentials, as is done explicitly for the first multi-critical potential, but it also offers an interesting interpretation of the results. In particular, it is seen that the left tail large deviations follow from a standard perturbative large N expansion of the free energy, while the right tail large deviations are related to the non-perturbative expansion and thus to instanton corrections. Considering the standard interpretation of instantons as tunnelling of eigenvalues, we see that the right tail rate function can be identified with the instanton action which in turn can be given as a simple expression in terms of the spectral curve. From the string theory point of view these non-perturbative corrections correspond to branes and can be identified with FZZT branes.

description: Recent experiments and theory demonstrate that the the ground state properties and chemical reactivity of molecules can be modified inside an optical cavity. The vibrational strong or ultrastrong coupling results in the formation of vibrational polaritons which are usually observed through infrared spectra (IR). Here, we provide a theoretical framework to conduct multidimensional quantum simulations of the infrared spectra when the molecule is interacting with cavity modes. Taking single water molecule as an example, combing with accurate potential energy and dipole moment surfaces, our implemented cavity vibrational self-consistent field/virtual state configuration interaction (cVSCF/VCI) is shown to be able to provide quantitative predictions of the IR spectra when the molecule is inside or outside the cavity. The spectral signatures of resonance splittings and blue/red shift of certain bands are found to be highly related with the frequency and polarization direction of the cavity modes. Further analyses of the simulated spectra shows that polaritonic strong vibrational coupling greatly induce the coupling between molecule's vibrational modes, indicating the intramolecular vibrational energy transfer may be significantly accelerated by the cavity.

description: In Part 1, we describe six projective-type model structures on the category of differential graded modules over a differential graded algebra A over a commutative ring R. When R is a field, the six collapse to three and are well-known, at least to folklore, but in the general case the new relative and mixed model structures offer interesting alternatives to the model structures in common use. The construction of some of these model structures requires two new variants of the small object argument, an enriched and an algebraic one, and we describe these more generally. In Part 2, we present a variety of theoretical and calculational cofibrant approximations in these model categories. The classical bar construction gives cofibrant approximations in the relative model structure, but generally not in the usual one. In the usual model structure, there are two quite different ways to lift cofibrant approximations from the level of homology modules over homology algebras, where they are classical projective resolutions, to the level of DG-modules over DG-algebras. The new theory makes model theoretic sense of earlier explicit calculations based on one of these constructions. A novel phenomenon we encounter is isomorphic cofibrant approximations with different combinatorial structure such that things proven in one avatar are not readily proven in the other.

Dynamically adaptive networks for integrating optimal pressure management and self-cleaning controls

description: This paper investigates the problem of integrating optimal pressure management and self-cleaning controls in dynamically adaptive water distribution networks. We review existing single-objective valve placement and control problems for minimizing average zone pressure (AZP) and maximizing self-cleaning capacity (SCC). Since AZP and SCC are conflicting objectives, we formulate a bi-objective design-for-control problem where locations and operational settings of pressure control and automatic flushing valves are jointly optimized. We approximate Pareto fronts using the weighted sum scalarization method, which uses a previously developed convex heuristic to solve the sequence of parametrized single-objective problems. The resulting Pareto fronts suggest that significant improvements in SCC can be achieved for minimal trade-offs in AZP performance. Moreover, we demonstrate that a hierarchical design strategy is capable of yielding good quality solutions to both objectives. This hierarchical design considers pressure control valves first placed for the primary AZP objective, followed by automatic flushing valves placed to augment SCC conditions. In addition, we investigate an adaptive control scheme for dynamically transitioning between AZP and SCC controls. We demonstrate these control challenges on case networks with both interconnected and branched topology.

description: Given a geometrically irreducible subscheme X in P^n over F_q of dimension at least 2, we prove that the fraction of degree d hypersurfaces H such that the intersection of H and X is geometrically irreducible tends to 1 as d tends to infinity. We also prove variants in which X is over an extension of F_q, and in which the immersion of X in P^n is replaced by a more general morphism.

description: In general relativity, gravitational collapse of matter fields ends with the formation of a spacetime singularity, where the matter density becomes infinite and standard physics breaks down. According to the weak cosmic censorship conjecture, singularities produced in the gravitational collapse cannot be seen by distant observers and must be hidden within black holes. The validity of this conjecture is still controversial and at present we cannot exclude that naked singularities can be created in our Universe from regular initial data. In this paper, we study the radiation emitted by a collapsing cloud of dust and check whether it is possible to distinguish the birth of a black hole from the one of a naked singularity. In our simple dust model, we find that the properties of the radiation emitted in the two scenarios is qualitatively similar. That suggests that observational tests of the cosmic censorship conjecture may be very difficult, even in principle.

description: How does the published scientific literature used by scientific community? Many previous studies make analysis on the static usage data. In this research, we propose the concept of dynamic usage data. Based on the platform of realtime.springer.com, we have been monitoring and recording the dynamic usage data of Scientometrics articles round the clock. Our analysis find that papers published in recent four years have many more downloads than papers published four years ago. According to our quantitative calculation, papers down-loaded on one day have an average lifetime of 4.1 years approximately. Classic papers are still being downloaded frequently even long after their publication. Additionally, we find that social media may reboot the attention of old scientific literature in a short time.

description: Hypergraphs, encoding structured interactions among any number of system units, have recently proven a successful tool to describe many real-world biological and social networks. Here we propose a framework based on statistical inference to characterize the structural organization of hypergraphs. The method allows to infer missing hyperedges of any size in a principled way, and to jointly detect overlapping communities in presence of higher-order interactions. Furthermore, our model has an efficient numerical implementation, and it runs faster than dyadic algorithms on pairwise records projected from higher-order data. We apply our method to a variety of real-world systems, showing strong performance in hyperedge prediction tasks, detecting communities well aligned with the information carried by interactions, and robustness against addition of noisy hyperedges. Our approach illustrates the fundamental advantages of a hypergraph probabilistic model when modeling relational systems with higher-order interactions.
