description: It is well known that the usual Kramers--Kronig relations for the relative permeability function $μ(ω)$ are not compatible with diamagnetism ($μ(0)<1$) and a positive imaginary part ($\text{Im}\,μ(ω)>0$ for $ω>0$). We demonstrate that a certain physical meaning can be attributed to $μ$ for all frequencies, and that in the presence of spatial dispersion, $μ$ does not necessarily tend to 1 for high frequencies $ω$ and fixed wavenumber $\mathbf k$. Taking the asymptotic behavior into account, diamagnetism can be compatible with Kramers--Kronig relations even if the imaginary part of the permeability is positive. We provide several examples of diamagnetic media and metamaterials for which $μ(ω,\mathbf k)\not\to 1$ as $ω\to\infty$.

description: Increasingly progressive organisations are changing how they see and work with young people. Such organisations as well as government are acknowledging the invaluable skills and insights young people with lived experiences can contribute as youth leaders, and genuine co-design partners shaping policy with key decision makers. This paper presents three care experienced perspectives on the benefits and challenges of capturing the voices of young people to inform policy and organisational decision-making in youth services. Sharing models of effective youth participation in policy development may lead to improved policy making and greater efficiency in child welfare service delivery. Encouraging young people's participation and empowerment involves a range of 'soft skills' that can be resource and time intensive. Sharing learning and knowledge from and about this work can be difficult as a result. The authors work on many innovative and important youth participation projects and seek to share young people's suggestions for how to facilitate meaningful participation for young people. Strategies for avoiding tokenism and increasing shared decision-making are discussed.

description: This study investigates atmospheric δ13CH4 trends, as produced by a global atmospheric transport model using CH4 inversions from CarbonTracker-Europe CH4 for 2000–2020, and compares them to observations. The CH4 inversions include the grouping of the emissions both by δ13CH4 isotopic signatures and process type to investigate the effect, and to estimate the CH4 magnitudes and model CH4 and δ13CH4 trends. In addition to inversion results, simulations of the global atmospheric transport model were performed with modified emissions. The estimated global CH4 trends for oil and gas were found to increase more than coal compared to the priors from 2000–2006 to 2007–2020. Estimated trends for coal emissions at 30∘ N–60∘ N are less than 50% of those from priors. Estimated global CH4 rice emissions trends are opposite to priors, with the largest contribution from the EQ to 60∘ N. The results of this study indicate that optimizing wetland emissions separately produces better agreement with the observed δ13CH4 trend than optimizing all biogenic emissions simultaneously. This study recommends optimizing separately biogenic emissions with similar isotopic signature to wetland emissions. In addition, this study suggests that fossil-based emissions were overestimated by 9% after 2012 and biogenic emissions are underestimated by 8% in the inversion using EDGAR v6.0 as priors.
The emergence of torsion in the continuum limit of distributed edge-dislocations

description: We present a rigorous homogenization theorem for distributed dislocations. We construct a sequence of locally-flat Riemannian manifolds with dislocation-type singularities. We show that this sequence converges, as the dislocations become denser, to a flat non-singular Weitzenböck manifold, i.e. a flat manifold endowed with a metrically-consistent connection with zero curvature and non-zero torsion. In the process, we introduce a new notion of convergence of Weitzenböck manifolds, which is relevant to this class of homogenization problems.

Aldo van Eyck's critiques against Postmodernism as a humanist device: Between the notion of "configurative discipline" and "the irritant principle of renewal
Creators: name: Charitonidou, Marianna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: This paper focuses on three cases: firstly, Aldo van Eyck’s position in the debate that took place in 1976 in conjunction with the exhibition “Europa-America. Architettura urbana, alternative suburbane” in the framework of the Venice Biennale; secondly, van Eyck’s message to Oswald Mathias Ungers in Spazio e Società under the title “A Message to Ungers from a Different World” (1979); thirdly, van Eyck’s Annual Discourse to the Royal Institute of British Architects entitled “Rats, posts and other pests” in 1981. In his message to Ungers, van Eyck was set against Aldo Rossi, Manfredo Tafuri, Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi, Leon and Rob Krier, Peter Eisenman, Charles Jencks, James Stirling and OMA and blamed Ungers for being attracted to the stances of the above-mentioned architects. The debate that accompanied the exhibition “Europa-America: Architettura urbane alternative suburbane” was symptomatic of “the growing discontent with the idea of modernism”, which had been apparent since the 50s. The interest of this instance lies on the fact that it exemplifies the conflicts between two generations. The presentation unfolds the reasons for which van Eyck’s notion of “configurative discipline”, which was at the centre of his educational and architectural vision, is not compatible with certain postmodernist views. Van Eyck, despite his interest in the polyphony of reality, believed that the coherence of a whole can only be achieved through “configurative discipline”. In “Steps Towards a Configurative Discipline” (1962), he maintained that “[a]ll systems should be familiarized one with the other in such a way that their combined impact and interaction can be appreciated as a single complex system - polyphonal, multirhythmic, kaleidoscopic and yet perpetually and everywhere comprehensible.” His attraction to coherence is the key to understand his opposition to postmodernist architecture. Van Eyck always intended to enhance the way architecture is inhabited and enriches human relationships.
Optimal bounds for aggregation of affine estimators

description: We study the problem of aggregation of estimators when the estimators are not independent of the data used for aggregation and no sample splitting is allowed. If the estimators are deterministic vectors, it is well known that the minimax rate of aggregation is of order $\log(M)$, where $M$ is the number of estimators to aggregate. It is proved that for affine estimators, the minimax rate of aggregation is unchanged: it is possible to handle the linear dependence between the affine estimators and the data used for aggregation at no extra cost. The minimax rate is not impacted either by the variance of the affine estimators, or any other measure of their statistical complexity. The minimax rate is attained with a penalized procedure over the convex hull of the estimators, for a penalty that is inspired from the $Q$-aggregation procedure. The results follow from the interplay between the penalty, strong convexity and concentration.

Backward stochastic differential equations with unbounded generators

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we consider two classes of backward stochastic differential equations. Firstly, under a Lipschitz-type condition on the generator of the equation, which can also be unbounded, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution pair. The method of proof is that of Picard iterations and the resulting conditions are new. We also prove a comparison theorem. Secondly, under the linear growth and continuity assumptions on the possibly unbounded generator, we prove the existence of the solution pair. This class of equations is more general than the existing ones.

description: In our previous study of duality for complete discrete valuation fields with perfect residue field, we treated coefficients in finite flat group schemes. In this paper, we treat abelian varieties. This in particular implies Grothendieck's conjecture on the perfectness of his pairing between the Neron component groups of an abelian variety and its dual. The point is that our formulation is well-suited with Galois descent. From the known case of semistable abelian varieties, we deduce the perfectness in full generality. We also treat coefficients in tori and, more generally, 1-motives.

title: Reaching beyond or beyond reach : challenges influencing access to higher education for care-experienced learners in Scotland
Creators: name: Tormey, Peter
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2019

description: Children in Scotland who spend time in the care of a local authority report lower educational attainment and are less likely to complete their secondary education than their non-care-experienced peers. Recent legislative changes designed to promote greater access to positive destinations for care-experienced people aims to enhance support into adulthood, promotes greater collaboration between public bodies, and increases non-repayable funding for care-experienced learners to study at college and university. This article will address the changes, unintended consequences and barriers that still persist from the period 2014 to the present. Education can be a catalyst for change and the rate of progress made to date to support care-experienced people into higher education must continue if Scotland is to achieve the ambition of a society where those with experience of care have the same equity of opportunities as the population at large.
On the existence of accessibility in a tree-indexed percolation model

description: We study the accessibility percolation model on infinite trees. The model is defined by associating an absolute continuous random variable $X_v$ to each vertex $v$ of the tree. The main question to be considered is the existence or not of an infinite path of nearest neighbors $v_1,v_2,v_3\ldots$ such that $X_{v_1}0$ is a given constant. We show that there is a percolation threshold at $α_c =1$ such that there is percolation if $α> 1$ and there is absence of percolation if $α\leq 1$. Moreover, we study the event of percolation starting at any vertex, as well as the continuity of the percolation probability function. Finally, we provide a comparison between this model with the well known $F^α$ record model. We also discuss a number of open problems concerning the accessibility percolation model for further consideration in future research.
description: This version has been partially rewritten due to a mistake in the proof of the main theorem in the previous version. New arguments have been used to prove the main result for a different family of growth functions. Other properties of the model, such as the existence of accessibility percolation infinitely often on the supercritical regime, have been studied

The question is a worthy and important one. While the environment that children live in has often been considered it has rarely been from this perspective. The summary includes evidence from a range of literature, including mental health and architecture and states that the importance of the built environment should not be underestimated.

description: BACKGROUND: The interaction between the Plasmodium vivax Duffy-binding protein and the corresponding Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) is primarily responsible for the invasion of reticulocytes by P. vivax. The Duffy-negative host phenotype, highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, is caused by a single point mutation in the GATA-1 transcription factor binding site of the DARC gene promoter. The aim of this study was to assess the Duffy status of patients with P. vivax infection from different study sites in Ethiopia. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 2021 to September 2022 at five varying eco-epidemiological malaria endemic sites in Ethiopia. Outpatients who were diagnosed with P. vivax infection (pure and mixed P. vivax/P. falciparum) by microscopy and Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) were subjected to PCR genotyping at the DARC promoter. The associations between P. vivax infection, host genotypes and other factors were evaluated. RESULT: In total, 361 patients with P. vivax infection were included in the study. Patients with pure P. vivax infections accounted for 89.8% (324/361), while the remaining 10.2% (37/361) had mixed P. vivax/P. falciparum infections. About 95.6% (345/361) of the participants were Duffy-positives (21.2% homozygous and 78.8%, heterozygous) and 4.4% (16/361) were Duffy-negatives. The mean asexual parasite density in homozygous and heterozygous Duffy-positives was 12,165 p/μl (IQR25-75: 1,640-24,234 p/μl) and11,655 p/μl (IQR25-75: 1,676-14,065 p/μl), respectively, significantly higher than that in Duffy-negatives (1,227p/μl; IQR25-75: 539-1,732p/μl). CONCLUSION: This study confirms that Duffy-negativity does not provide complete protection against P. vivax infection. The development of P. vivax-specific elimination strategies, including alternative antimalarial vaccines should be facilitated by a better understanding of the epidemiological landscape of vivax malaria in Africa. More importantly, low parasitemia associated with P. vivax infections in Duffy-negative patients may represent hidden reservoirs of transmission in Ethiopia.

Measurement Induced Randomness and State Merging

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014

description: In this work we introduce the randomness which is truly quantum mechanical in nature arising as an act of measurement. For a composite classical system we have the joint entropy to quantify the randomness present in the total system and that happens to be equal to the sum of the entropy of one subsystem and the conditional entropy of the other subsystem given we know the first system. The same analogy caries over to the quantum setting by replacing the Shannon entropy by the Von Neumann entropy. However, if we replace the conditional von Neumann entropy by the average conditional entropy due to measurement, we find that it is different from the joint entropy of the system. We call this difference Measurement Induced Randomness (MIR) and argue that this is unique of quantum mechanical systems and there is no classical counterpart to this. In other words the joint Von Neumann entropy gives only the total randomness that arises because of the heterogeneity of the mixture and we show that it is not the total randomness that can be generated in the composite system. We generalize this quantity for N-qubit systems and show that it reduces to quantum discord for two qubit systems. Further, we show that it is exactly equal to the change in the cost of quantum state merging that arises because of the measurement. We argue that for a quantum information processing tasks like state merging the change in the cost as a result of discarding prior information can also be viewed as a rise of randomness due to measurement.

description: Young people in care have been found to have a higher incidence of self-harming behaviours. However, despite research findings that managing self-harm can be stressful for carers, there has been a dearth of literature which has specifically examined residential carers' experiences of this. Therefore, the current study used an interpretative phenomenological approach to explore the experiences of residential carers in relation to self-harm. Three superordinate themes emerged from the study, each with a number of subordinate themes. 'Surviving' illustrated how managing self-harm can be a difficult experience for residential carers and therefore they need a number of coping strategies to draw upon to manage. 'We're out here alone' represented participants' feelings around being held individually responsible for managing acts of self-harm and also feeling as though outside agencies were inadequate or slow to respond to the young people’s needs. 'Losing control' reflected when coping strategies failed, and participants were left feeling uncontained. It also demonstrated the potential negative consequences on their life outside of work. Recommendations are discussed for future practice, including regular staff supervision, team consultation, training and shared risk planning.

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2019

description: This study reports on the outcomes of 15 semi-structured interviews undertaken with managers employed by one Northern Ireland Health and Social Care Trust within the residential child care sector. The purpose of the research was to explore the concept of 'team resilience' as a method to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue amongst residential social workers and care workers. The findings show that high levels of support already exist, but recruitment, communication, supervision, team meetings, team development, reflective practice, resilient individuals, team ethos and management style are all factors that contribute to team resilience. Teams need to be acknowledged, valued and nurtured to make them more effective and resilient. The more a team spends time together and is permitted to grow together the more resilient it becomes. Strong internal dialogues and communication are key functions to a resilient team that ultimately promotes the quality of care for service users. Developing a team to be internally self-aware, with an ability to embrace change whilst acknowledging individual core strengths, provides a solid foundation for promoting team resilience. The article discusses how trust and a sense of team purpose can contribute to the development of cohesion and resilience.

description: A bi-arrangement of hyperplanes in a complex affine space is the data of two sets of hyperplanes along with a coloring information on the strata. To such a bi-arrangement, one naturally associates a relative cohomology group, that we call its motive. The motivation for studying such relative cohomology groups comes from the notion of motivic period. More generally, we suggest the systematic study of the motive of a bi-arrangement of hypersurfaces in a complex manifold. We provide combinatorial and cohomological tools to compute the structure of these motives. Our main object is the Orlik-Solomon bi-complex of a bi-arrangement, which generalizes the Orlik-Solomon algebra of an arrangement. Loosely speaking, our main result states that "the motive of an exact bi-arrangement is computed by its Orlik-Solomon bi-complex", which generalizes classical facts involving the Orlik-Solomon algebra of an arrangement. We show how this formalism allows us to explicitly compute motives arising from the study of multiple zeta values and sketch a more general application to periods of mixed Tate motives.

title: Assessment of the alternative families system in Egypt
Creators: name: Abdel-Aziz, Amira
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2019

description: Since 2016, the Egyptian Government has made several changes in the Alternative Families System that aims to provide children without parental care, especially abandoned ones, with families. The study assesses this flagship programme using the UN Guidelines for Alternative Care for Children as the main guiding framework, combined with qualitative methodological approaches, based on a purposive sample of key informants, consisting of governmental officials, national and international organisations, using in-depth interviews as the main tool for data collection. On one hand, the state declares its responsibility towards children without parental care. Moreover, it involved the assembly of a new national committee for alternative families. On the other hand, there are limitations which affect the increasing number of abandoned children, such as the inability of unmarried mothers to register their children and thus find proper support. In addition there was the non-existence of preventive strategies such as families' rehabilitation programmes. Finally, negative societal stereotyping towards abandoned children was identified especially by government officials administering the programme. The study recommends reviewing the existing legal framework to ensure its proper execution through allocating financial resources, upgrading the existing human capital and related systems, and developing a national alternative care strategy.

description: Congenital CMV (cCMV) is acknowledged as one of the most common causes of nonhereditary sensorineural hearing loss and an important cause of neurodevelopmental delay in children. Despite the danger cCMV poses, many parents are unaware of the virus, its sequelae, mode of transmission, and preventative behaviors. The purpose of the study was to determine South Dakota parents’ knowledge of cCMV, its sequelae, and ways to minimize exposure.
An electronic survey was utilized for data collection. Parents of children born in South Dakota from 2011 to 2018 were asked about their knowledge of CMV and cCMV, including common sequelae and ways to minimize exposure. Flyers were sent to randomly selected daycares and the link was posted on social media pages to advertise the electronic survey to South Dakota parents. After completing the survey, participants were directed to cCMV educational resources.
Respondents were more knowledgeable regarding the sequelae of cCMV rather than its transmission process or ways in which viral exposure can be minimized. Results show that there remains a need for cCMV awareness in South Dakota, particularly with a large focus on preventative measures.

description: This is a brief but broad narrative and non-systematic review of developments that led up to how 21st century digital technology and translational research influenced, in particular, cognitive psychology and our improved understanding of mental resources among children with hearing loss. In turn, systemic multi-disciplinary research findings gave birth to Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience (ACN). Three broad constructs unique to ACN, i.e., auditory attention, effortful listening, and auditory fatigue, are then described in relation to children with hearing loss. This review concludes with a brief examination of future opportunities for researchers and clinicians who can ensure that children with hearing loss will benefit from cross-disciplinary translational research findings.
Getting Started with Home Visits: Recommendations for Serving Families of Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

description: The successful implementation of newborn hearing screening programs across the United States has facilitated timely diagnosis of hearing loss and referral to early intervention (EI) services for families of children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), thus increasing the potential for improved language development outcomes. As new parents engage in EI services that involve professionals entering their home, the effectiveness of the early interventionists’ engagement, knowledge, coaching skills, and ability to provide emotional support can substantially influence families’ experiences. This article provides graduate students and new early interventionists an overview of key concepts related to home-based EI services, including (a) establishing the parent-professional partnership, (b) the parent coaching model, (c) auditory development priorities, and (d) goal-oriented services. Tables containing websites, assessments, and other materials and intervention resources are provided to support content depth and service delivery competence in each concept area. The final section outlines the flow of a typical home visit. An example of a completed Family Session Planning Guide and a hypothetical example of dialogue between the parents and the EI provider as they establish the child and family goals and identify strategies for meeting those goals. Also included is a Family Session Planning Guide template.

description: Objective: When children are identified with hearing loss, parents are often unsure about what they need to know. A Childhood Hearing Loss Question Prompt List for Parents (CHLQPL) was recently developed to help parents and providers address questions. This exploratory study investigated if parents who used the CHLQPL in their audiology appointment perceived their appointment as more person-centered than parents who received treatment as usual. Parent perceptions regarding use of the CHLQPL during the audiology appointment was also sought.
Design: Randomized control trial.
Study sample: Parents of children with permanent hearing loss (N=50).
Results: There were no statistically significant differences found between the intervention and control groups in parent perception of person-centeredness. Parents who used the CHLQPL found it useful and would recommend it’s use to others.
Conclusions: Further research is needed to explore other factors and benefits of including the CHLQPL in supporting parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Audiologists can incorporate the CHLQPL to facilitate communication on topics of importance to parents and to facilitate parent engagement in a shared process.
Yaglom Limit via Holley Inequality
Creators: name: Ferrari, Pablo A.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $S$ be a countable set provided with a partial order and a minimal element. Consider a Markov chain on $S\cup\{0\}$ absorbed at $0$ with a quasi-stationary distribution. We use Holley inequality to obtain sufficient conditions under which the following hold. The trajectory of the chain starting from the minimal state is stochastically dominated by the trajectory of the chain starting from any probability on $S$, when both are conditioned to nonabsorption until a certain time. Moreover, the Yaglom limit corresponding to this deterministic initial condition is the unique minimal quasi-stationary distribution in the sense of stochastic order. As an application, we provide new proofs to classical results in the field.

description: For a ring $R$, we construct a universal $K_R$-torsor $\mathcal{T}_R\to K_{Tate(R)}$ on the $K$-theory space of Tate $R$-modules. This torsor is closely related to canonical central extensions of loop groups. Just like classical loop group theory has features of $K$-theory (e.g. determinant bundles, tame symbol cocycle for Kac-Moody extension), the $K$-theory torsor relates higher loop groups with higher $K$-theory. We study the classifying "index" map of this torsor in detail. We explain how it arises in analogy with the classical index map of Fredholm operators, and we relate the $K$-theory torsor to previously studied dimension and determinant torsors.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We introduce a convenient framework for constructing and analyzing orthogonal Thom spectra arising from virtual vector bundles. This framework enables us to set up a theory of orientations and graded Thom isomorphisms with good multiplicative properties. The theory is applied to the analysis of logarithmic structures on commutative ring spectra.
