Mediating mobility at the school gate: interpreting London's School Street schemes
Creators: name: Henry Patrick Thomas, Asa
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2024

description: Following the Covid-19 pandemic, local authorities in London introduced numerous daily time-limited closures to streets in front of schools, known as ‘School Streets’. Nearly a third of the city’s primary schools now have School Streets, with their rapid implementation as emergency measures marking an acceleration of state-led ‘tactical urbanism’ in London. However, despite a stated motivation for School Streets being to increase active travel to school, evidence for their effectiveness in changing travel behaviour lags their widespread adoption.

Responding to this gap, the research has two primary aims. First, to understand the contribution of School Streets to children’s mobility in London, asking if and how a small street-level intervention might lead to wider behavioural changes – a growing policy approach with inconsistent evidence in the academic literature. Second, it seeks to investigate the dynamics of this novel ‘tactical’ mode of policy implementation, assessing whether the rapidity of this change has led to fair outcomes. The dissertation draws on qualitative and quantitative research methods; with practitioner interviews complemented by datasets on the spatial distribution of these schemes and school travel surveys.

The research finds that although practitioners disagree on the mechanism of change, School Streets are associated with increased active travel to school and decreases in private motor vehicle use. However, although policymakers have rapidly introduced a widespread programme of schemes, almost all of which remain in place, equity issues remain, with little evidence of prioritisation of schools facing the worst air pollution at the city-scale. For practitioners, these findings provide evidence that School Streets can change travel behaviour but highlight a need for greater attention to the fairness of outcomes. This research also contributes to emerging literature investigating travel behaviour through the study of interventions, and to debates on the use of ‘tactical urbanism’ by city governments.

description: The expected supremum of a Gaussian process indexed by the image of an index set under a function class is bounded in terms of separate properties of the index set and the function class. The bound is relevant to the estimation of nonlinear transformations or the analysis of learning algorithms whenever hypotheses are chosen from composite classes, as is the case for multi-layer models.

description: Detecting and measuring a non-Gaussian signature of primordial origin in the density field is a major science goal of next-generation galaxy surveys. The signal will permit us to determine primordial physics processes and constrain models of cosmic inflation. While traditional approaches utilise a limited set of statistical summaries of the galaxy distribution to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity, we present a field-level approach by Bayesian forward-modelling the entire three-dimensional galaxy survey. Our method naturally and fully self-consistently exploits the entirety of the large-scale structure, e.g., higher-order statistics, peculiar velocity fields, and scale-dependent galaxy bias, to extract information on the local non-Gaussianity parameter, $\fnl$. We demonstrate the performance of our approach through various tests with mock galaxy data emulating relevant features of the \sdssiii{}-like survey, and additional tests with a \textit{Stage IV} mock data set. These tests reveal that the method infers unbiased values of $\fnl$ by accurately handling survey geometries, noise, and unknown galaxy biases. We demonstrate that our method can achieve constraints of $σ_{\fnl} \approx 8.78$ for \sdssiii{}-like data, an improvement of a factor $\sim 2.5$ over currently published constraints. Tests with next-generation mock data show that significant further improvements are feasible with sufficiently high resolution. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that our method can consistently marginalise all nuisance parameters of the data model. The method further provides an inference of the three-dimensional primordial density field, providing opportunities to explore additional signatures of primordial physics.

description: Purpose: To describe the current properties and capabilities of an open-source hardware and software package that is being developed by many sites internationally with the aim of providing an inexpensive yet flexible platform for low-cost MRI. Methods: This paper describes three different setups from 50 to 360 mT in different settings, all of which used the MaRCoS console for acquiring data, and different types of software interfaces (custom-built GUI or PulSeq overlay) to acquire the data. Results: Images are presented from both phantoms and in vivo from healthy volunteers to demonstrate the image quality that can be obtained from the MaRCoS hardware/software interfaced to different low-field magnets. Conclusions: The results presented here show that a number of different sequences commonly used in the clinic can be programmed into an open-source system relatively quickly and easily, and can produce good quality images even at this early stage of development. Both the hardware and software will continue to develop, and it is an aim of this paper to encourage other groups to join this international consortium.

Publisher: name: Journal of Statistics on Health Decision
Year: 2020

description: Background: Currently, there has been an increase of late motherhood, especially in western industrialized countries, mothers are having her first child after 35 years old. This phenomenon is associated with increase women´s investment in their academic career, seek financial and marital stability, postponing the decision to be a mother. Women postpone maternity and decide to have their first child at an advanced age as evidenced in the statistics, mean age of women at childbirth increased to 31.2 years of age (INE, 2017). In this period, women who become mothers mentioned family members, as the most important in family support, providing material or financial and emotional support and taking care of children (Rodrigues, 2008). Our qualitative research will enable pregnant women to describe the experience and main difficulties in this transition, allowing us to know their needs as Midwifes, developing appropriate interventions facilitating the transition to parenthood.

description: This paper examines the correlates of optimism bias and its impact on World Bank project performance. We measure optimism bias in different ways using estimated Economic Rates of Return (ERR) of projects at approval and closure. We examine over 2,800 World Bank projects that were appraised between 1960 and 2019. We find that approximately 60% of projects in the sample were prone to optimism bias. Correlates of optimism bias include both project and country characteristics. Findings also indicate that the incidence of optimism bias reduces the chance of a satisfactory project performance rate at the time of evaluation by 17–20%. Recommendations include embracing complexity and uncertainty in considering projects for approval, providing organizational incentives for ensuring projects are successful rather than ERRs being accurate, shifting some resources from appraisal to implementation, and changing the nature of project supervision.
Factorization and global symmetries in holography

description: We consider toy models of holography arising from 3d Chern-Simons theory. In this context a duality to an ensemble average over 2d CFTs has been recently proposed. We put forward an alternative approach in which, rather than summing over bulk geometries, one gauges a one-form global symmetry of the bulk theory. This accomplishes two tasks: it ensures that the bulk theory has no global symmetries, as expected for a theory of quantum gravity, and it makes the partition function on spacetimes with boundaries coincide with that of a modular-invariant 2d CFT on the boundary. In particular, on wormhole geometries one finds a factorized answer for the partition function. In the case of non-Abelian Chern-Simons theories, the relevant one-form symmetry is non-invertible, and its gauging corresponds to the condensation of a Lagrangian anyon.

description: Drawing on a representative survey of firms in 38 countries, eight of which are in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), this paper documents the impact of COVID-19 and firms’ coping strategies in SSA, benchmarking with other regions. The paper shows that the impact of the pandemic is more pronounced in Sub-Saharan Africa compared with other regions. This disproportionate impact is not explained by differences in sectoral composition and other firm characteristics, but likely by the level of development. This underscores the important economic and structural contexts that predate the pandemic in understanding the differential impact. Contrary to expectations, the findings show that businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa are more likely to adjust their operations or products and services to adapt to the shock than those in other regions. However, firms in the region lag in leveraging digital technologies, remote working, and e-commerce, compared with those in other regions.

description: The existence of highly skewed success distributions in the music industry has been repeatedly demonstrated by scholars, but there still is no agreement about how these shapes relate to concepts like ‘talent’, ‘reputation’ and ‘quality’. Starting from the theories of Rosen and Adler, this article concentrates mainly on the phenomenon referred to as cumulative advantage, as one of the leading candidate mechanisms to explain the formation of the ‘power law-like’ distributions found in, e.g. the sales of music recordings. We make the case for the pivotal role of the market share approach in the music industry and demonstrate its efficacy as a ‘success measure’ methodology by providing a descriptive summary with regard to ‘connotations’ of cumulative advantage based on 50 years of Billboard Hot 100® history. Our results indicate that, while records that have sold well will keep on selling, the same might not be true for recording artists. However, a modest ‘star power’ effect may have represented a small but vital edge for the oligopoly of multinational recording companies. The methodology suggested in this article should provide students of ‘hit song science’ and the likes with a more rigorous approach to appraising commercial success, as well as a comprehensive background as to its origin and relevance to popular music studies.

description: Purpose: Variability in the input plays an important role in language learning. The current study examined the role of object variability for new word learning by preschoolers with specific language impairment (SLI).Method: Eighteen 4- and 5-year-old children with SLI were taught 8 new words in 3 short activities over the course of 3 sessions. Half of the children saw 3 identical objects corresponding to each new word during training (No Variability group); the other half of the children saw 3 different objects corresponding to each new word during training (High Variability group). Children completed vocabulary learning tests for objects seen during training and for new within-category objects that were never seen during training as a test of category generalization. Learning was assessed the day after each training activity, and retention was assessed 3 weeks after the last training session.Results: There were no group differences on trained or generalization items immediately following training sessions. However, children in the High Variability group demonstrated significantly better retention 3 weeks after experimental training.Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that object variability facilitates retention of new word learning by children with SLI.

Their knowledge allows to determine the braiding/fusing matrix transforming 4-point conformal blocks of one fundamental, labelled by the 6-dimensional $sl(4)$ representation, and three partially degenerate vertex operators. It is a $3 \times 3$ submatrix of the generic $6 \times 6$ fusing matrix consistent with the fusion rules for the particular class of representations. We check a braiding relation which has wider applications to conformal models with $sl(4)$ symmetry. The 3-point constants in dual regions of central charge are compared in preparation for a BPS like relation in the $\hat{sl}(4)$ WZW model.

description: Our recent arXiv preprints and published papers on the solution of the Riemann-Lanczos and Weyl-Lanczos problems have brought our attention on the importance of revisiting the algebraic structure of the Bianchi identities in Riemannian geometry. We also discovered in the meantime that, in our first book of 1978, we had already used a new way for studying the various compatibility conditions (CC) of an operator that may not be necessarily formally integrable (FI) in order to construct canonical formally exact differential sequences on the jet level. The purpose of this paper is to prove that the combination of these two facts clearly shows the specific importance of the Spencer operator and the Spencer $δ$-cohomology, totally absent from mathematical physics today. The results obtained are unavoidable because they only depend on elementary combinatorics and diagram chasing. They also provide for the first time the purely intrinsic interpretation of the respective numbers of successive first, second, third and higher order generating CC. However, if they of course agree with the linearized Killing operator over the Minkowski metric, they largely disagree with recent publications on the respective numbers of generating CC for the linearized Killing operator over the Schwarzschild and Kerr metrics. Many similar examples are illustrating these new techniques, providing in particular the only symbol existing in the literature which is 2-ayclic witout being of finite type, contrary to the conformal situation.
description: This paper is achieving the work we started in arXiv:1805.11958 and arXiv:2010.07001 (now published) on the search of the generating compatibility conditions of the Killing operator for the Schwarzschild and Kerr metrics by means of new intrinsic homological methods based on a systematic use of the Spencer operator

We employ what we call a geometric approach, based on the geometry of a curved momentum space, which should be seen as complementary to the more spread algebraic one. In this frame we are able to rederive well-known algebraic expressions, as well as to treat yet unresolved issues, to wit, the explicit relation between both equations, the discrete symmetries for Dirac particles, the fate of covariance, and the formal definition of a Hilbert space for the Klein--Gordon case.

description: Given empirical evidence for the dependence of an outcome variable on an exposure variable, we can typically only provide bounds for the "probability of causation" in the case of an individual who has developed the outcome after being exposed. We show how these bounds can be adapted or improved if further information becomes available. In addition to reviewing existing work on this topic, we provide a new analysis for the case where a mediating variable can be observed. In particular we show how the probability of causation can be bounded when there is no direct effect and no confounding. Keywords: Causal inference, Mediation Analysis, Probability of Causation

On the Relevance of Temporal Features for Medical Ultrasound Video Recognition

description: Many medical ultrasound video recognition tasks involve identifying key anatomical features regardless of when they appear in the video suggesting that modeling such tasks may not benefit from temporal features. Correspondingly, model architectures that exclude temporal features may have better sample efficiency. We propose a novel multi-head attention architecture that incorporates these hypotheses as inductive priors to achieve better sample efficiency on common ultrasound tasks. We compare the performance of our architecture to an efficient 3D CNN video recognition model in two settings: one where we expect not to require temporal features and one where we do. In the former setting, our model outperforms the 3D CNN - especially when we artificially limit the training data. In the latter, the outcome reverses. These results suggest that expressive time-independent models may be more effective than state-of-the-art video recognition models for some common ultrasound tasks in the low-data regime.

description: Despite relative richness of the existing literature, it remains a challenge to consistently estimate the impacts of transport connectivity on agricultural production. The paper constructs pseudo-panel data with transport infrastructure defined at high resolution in two periods of time and examines spatially heterogeneous impacts of improved transport connectivity. The paper takes advantage of the unique circumstances in Mozambique where the Government invested intensively in road infrastructure during a relatively short period of time in the 2010s. Combining the highly disaggregated location-specific fixed effects with the instrumental variable method, the paper controls for the endogeneity to show that the improved road connectivity increased agricultural production significantly. Rural connectivity and domestic market accessibility are found to be of particular importance, but substantial heterogeneity exists across regions. The northern provinces, where transport connectivity is limited, have the potential for agricultural growth, exhibiting increasing returns to scale.

description: Affinity-based ultrafiltration–mass spectrometry coupled with ultraperformance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was utilised for the structural identification of direct tyrosinase ligands from a crude Pseudolysimachion rotundum var. subintegrum extract. False positives were recognised by introducing time-dependent inhibition in the control for comparison. The P. rotundum extract contained nine main metabolites in the UPLC-QTOF-MS chromatogram. However, four metabolites were reduced after incubation with tyrosinase, indicating that these metabolites were bound to tyrosinase. The IC50 values of verproside (1) were 31.2 µM and 197.3 µM for mTyr and hTyr, respectively. Verproside showed 5.6-fold higher efficacy than that of its positive control (kojic acid in hTyr). The most potent tyrosinase inhibitor, verproside, features a 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid moiety on the iridoid glycoside and inhibits tyrosinase in a time-dependent and competitive manner. Among these three compounds, verproside is bound to the active site pocket with a docking energy of −6.9 kcal/mol and four hydrogen bonding interactions with HIS61 and HIS85.

description: The superconducting properties of LaFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ in conditions of optimal electron-doping are investigated upon the application of external pressure up to $\sim 23$ kbar. Measurements of muon-spin spectroscopy and dc magnetometry evidence a clear mutual independence between the critical temperature $T_{c}$ and the low-temperature saturation value for the ratio $n_{s}/m^{*}$ (superfluid density over effective band mass of Cooper pairs). Remarkably, a dramatic increase of $\sim 30$ % is reported for $n_{s}/m^{*}$ at the maximum pressure value while $T_{c}$ is substantially unaffected in the whole accessed experimental window. We argue and demonstrate that the explanation for the observed results must take the effect of non-magnetic impurities on multi-band superconductivity into account. In particular, the unique possibility to modify the ratio between intra-band and inter-bands scattering rates by acting on structural parameters while keeping the amount of chemical disorder constant is a striking result of our proposed model.

Negativos em Vidro do Observatório Nacional: Diagnóstico e Acondicionamento de Placas Quebradas
Creators: name: Perrout Junger Gerard de Oliveira1, Júlia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: O acervo de negativos em vidro do Observatório Nacional sob a guarda do Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins conta com mais de 800 placas fotográficas produzidas a partir da Luneta 32 e da Meridional 46, entre 1914 e 1988. As informações contidas nestes registros são diversas. Entre 2016 e 2018, o acervo passou por um processo de conservação preventiva criado para atender às demandas apresentadas a partir de sua deslocação. Foram encontradas 95 placas quebradas que não apresentavam acondicionamento próprio, fazendo-se necessário traçar um plano de acondicionamento. O objetivo é dar continuidade ao trabalho iniciado pela equipe anterior e re-acondicionar essas placas danificadas, bem como avaliar o estado de conservação através do diagnóstico terminologicamente padronizado de todas as placas do acervo. Como metodologia, para a primeira ação, foi adotado como padrão caixas de papel pluma, papel neutro e cola de pH neutro. Na outra frente, pesquisas foram realizadas para a estruturação e estabelecimento de uma ficha de diagnóstico, a ser adotada para as coleções fotográficas do Museu. Ao total, 28 placas foram submetidas ao novo acondicionamento e 254 placas, ao diagnóstico padronizado. As caixas são de fácil execução e garantem a segurança ao material fragilizado. A ficha de diagnóstico contempla um vocabulário controlado e abrangente, para caracterização das coleções e danos identificados. Estas ações de preservação permitem que o material seja conhecido, digitalizado e consultado futuramente.
