description: We present an equation of state and the composition of low-density supernova matter composed of light nuclei with mass number A \le 13. We work within the quasiparticle gas model, which accounts for bound states with decay time scales larger than the relevant time scale of supernova and protoneutron star evolution. The mean-field contribution is included in terms of Skyrme density functional. Deuterons, tritons, and 3H(e) nuclei appear in matter in concentrations that are substantially higher than those of heavier nuclei. We calculate the critical temperature of deuteron condensation in such matter, and demonstrate that the appearance of clusters substantially lowers the critical temperature.

description: We compare the azimuthal correlations arising from three and two hadron production in high energy proton-proton and nucleus-nucleus collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}=200 GeV, using the leading order matrix elements for two-to-three and two-to-two parton-processes in perturbative QCD. We first compute the two and three hadron production cross sections in mid-rapidity proton-proton collisions. Then we consider Au + Au collisions including parton energy loss using the modified fragmentation function approach. By examining the geometrical paths the hard partons follow through the medium, we show that the two away-side partons produced in two-to-three processes have in average a smaller and a greater path length than the average path length of the away-side parton in two-to-two processes. Therefore there is a large probability that in the former processes one of the particles escapes while the other gets absorbed. This effect leads to an enhancement in the azimuthal correlations of the two-to-three with respect to the two-to-two parton-processes when comparing to the same processes in proton-proton collisions since in average the particle with the shortest path length looses less energy with respect to the away side particle in two-to-two processes. We argue that this phenomenon may be responsible for the shape of the away-side in azimuthal correlations observed in mid-rapidity Au + Au collisions at RHIC.

description: Since the Millennium Development Goals first met digital media, initiatives harnessing ICTs to improve health services, empower civil society, enhance emergency response and increase the competitiveness of small producers have proliferated across the Global South. In particular, the widespread adoption of mobile telephony has been increasingly shaping aid policies and coalescing strategies of actors driven by diverse aims: Ngo’s cultivating innovation for social change, businesspeople reaping profits at the bottom of the pyramid, activists seeking greater political accountability and governments (sometime) willing to concede it, but in their own terms. The emphasis on the transformational potential of the ICTs often conceals tensions arising from the encounter of different ways of knowing and of acting and from the emergence of new socio-technical arrangements in which deep-seated dichotomies are challenged: profit/no-profit; surveillance/sousveillance; civil society/uncivil society; formal economy/informal economy. Processes of appropriation and reshaping of technological innovations problematize linear views of technology transfer based on the North-South axis and call upon academics to elaborate new frameworks and methodologies to grasp the ongoing transformations.

description: Previous research has found that the proportion of unbelted fatalities is greater at night than during the day. Failure to use seat belts has been identified as an important factor in nighttime fatalities, yet there are still many gaps in our knowledge about seat belt use at night. The primary objective of this project was to examine the day and night difference in seat belt use under different personal, environmental, and vehicle characteristics, in order to identify anomalies that indicate specific traffic safety problems. Differences in day and night use in primary and secondary enforcement law States were also compared, and an analysis was performed to examine day and night seat belt use in States that changed their seat belt law from secondary to primary during the 1998-2007 period.
Where are the really hard manipulation problems? The phase transition in manipulating the veto rule

description: Voting is a simple mechanism to aggregate the preferences of agents. Many voting rules have been shown to be NP-hard to manipulate. However, a number of recent theoretical results suggest that this complexity may only be in the worst-case since manipulation is often easy in practice. In this paper, we show that empirical studies are useful in improving our understanding of this issue. We demonstrate that there is a smooth transition in the probability that a coalition can elect a desired candidate using the veto rule as the size of the manipulating coalition increases. We show that a rescaled probability curve displays a simple and universal form independent of the size of the problem. We argue that manipulation of the veto rule is asymptotically easy for many independent and identically distributed votes even when the coalition of manipulators is critical in size. Based on this argument, we identify a situation in which manipulation is computationally hard. This is when votes are highly correlated and the election is "hung". We show, however, that even a single uncorrelated voter is enough to make manipulation easy again.

description: Tänu lastekardioloogia ning kaasasündinud südamerikete kirurgia arengule viimase 30 aasta jooksul elab lähemas tulevikus maailmas kongenitaalse rikkega, opereeritud või opereerimata täiskasvanuid rohkem kui kongenitaalse rikkega lapsi. Levinud on nimetus GUCHi (grown-up congenital heart disease) patsiendid. Kui kaasasündinud südamerikete kirurgia algusaastail elas vähem kui 20% kongenitaalse rikkega lastest täiskasvanueani, siis tänapäeval sureb enamik neist täiskasvanueas. Seega on tekkinud uus põlvkond kardioloogilist abi vajavaid täiskasvanuid, kuid vastavat spetsiiﬁ  kat tundvaid spetsialiste pole koolitatud. Täiskasvanute kardioloogid tunnevad end ebakindlalt kaasasündinud südamerikete anatoomias, hemodünaamika häiretes ning operatsioonimeetodites, lastekardioloogid aga täiskasvanute probleemides: sport, rasedus, sotsiaalsed probleemid, südame isheemiatõbi jm. Seega on ainus võimalus nende inimeste probleeme lahendada, kasutades multidistsiplinaarset meeskonda.

Samuti võib ema südamerike kujutada ohtu loote ja vastsündinu arengule (üsasisene kasvupeetus või surm, ajuhemorraagia, enneaegsus). Suurima riski naisele põhjustavad raske südamepuudulikkus, tsüanoos ja vasaku südametrakti obstruktsioon. Et rasedus kulgeks võimalikult tüsistustevabalt, on vajalik selliste naiste pidev ja hoolikas jälgimine ning nõustamine erinevate spetsialistide poolt nii raseduse ajal, sünnitusel kui ka sünnitusjärgses perioodis.

GENDER AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN COOPERATION PROGRAMS
Creators: name: Calvo, Angela
Publisher: name: JUNCO | Journal of UNiversities and international development COoperation
Year: 2014

description: Gender is not a specific topic among other cooperation themes, but it must be transversal to all of them. This is the correct theoretical approach, but in the real situation, in rural areas especially, gender projects are still confused with women projects and nowadays in the rural cooperation projects we witness a lot of women oriented activities, which share little with gender. It seems to be brought back to the seventies WID ages and the consequence is the feeble sustainability of these projects during the time, especially when they come to an end. The problem is more manifest whereas these projects should implicate men and women in rural villages, often recluses and with poor communication lines and means. The proposal of this panel was to explore this situation through the analysis of different contributions coming from ONGs, universities, local municipalities, research centres. The presented papers showed the well known critical points that limit women’s participation to improve concrete gender actions in the field, from lack of policies to land grabbing, from weak mainstreaming to unreliable gender data to highlight the real context where improve projects actions, from the gap between research studies and the daily life of rural people (especially women) to poor assets management and resources control. Last, but not less important, the multiple factors of discrimination (clan, religious, social) at the base of internal conflicts and wars, which mainly strike women.

description: L'esplosione demografica delle megacities nelle aree povere del pianeta, ed in particolare nell’Africa sub-sahariana pone il pressante problema della produzione e distribuzione di cibo per le popolazioni urbane. Ad esempio, i dati indicano che nell’Africa sub-sahariana ci saranno circa 800 milioni di nuovi individui entro il 2025, di cui i 55% saranno in aree urbane e peri-urbane. Il problema può essere affrontato attraverso l’aumento delle attività di produzione passando per l'integrazione delle attività agricole con quelle dell'allevamento nelle aree urbane e/o peri-urbane. La chiave per la sostenibilità è da ricercare nel concetto di intensificazione su piccola e piccolissima scala, basandosi su tre caratteristiche fondamentali: i) approvvigionamenti alimentari delle specie animali allevate attraverso l'interazione e l'integrazione con il settore dei sottoprodotti agro-industriali; ii) scelta delle specie da allevare sulla base delle predilezioni e dei consumi delle popolazioni locali; iii) continuità ed adeguatezza delle produzioni alimentari nell'intero arco temporale annuale. Ricercatori di università e di enti di ricerca nazionali ed internazionali, sia nei Paesi c.d. “sviluppati” che in quelli in “Via di Sviluppo”, possono giocare un ruolo centrale per identificare le tecniche più appropriate per migliorare le produzioni animali a livello urbano e peri-urbano. I risultati ottenuti da progetti di cooperazione finalizzati alla ricerca, alla ricerca-sviluppo ed alla formazione possono essere utilizzate dalle istituzioni/amministratori locali per implementare appropriate strategie per migliorare la sicurezza e la sanità alimentare nelle aree povere del Mondo, in particolare in centri urbani altamente popolati.

description: Relating behind-the-wheel driving performance to performance on office-based screening tools is challenging. It is important to use tools that are predictive of poor driving performance (sensitivity), but also to find tools that do not have high proportions of false positives (specificity). This project explored both. Driving equates to independence for many older drivers, but determining whether a driver is safe is a challenge. A family often turns to a physician to make a determination regarding a loved one’s driving fitness, but historically, those physicians have had no evidence-based tools to help them decide whether or not people are at risk. In 2003, NHTSA and the American Medical Association (AMA) released the Physician’s Guide to Assessing and Counseling Older Drivers (www.nhtsa.gov/people/injury/olddrive/physician_guide/ PhysiciansGuide.pdf) to help physicians and their patients explore driving through the lens of a health-based model. The guide has an easy-to-administer set of screening tools called Assessment of Driving-Related Skills, or ADReS. The ADReS explores visual function, physical and motor function, and cognitive function. It offers physicians guidance on the actions they should take for their patients when presented with “red flags.”

description: Game semantics describe the interactive behavior of proofs by interpreting formulas as games on which proofs induce strategies. Such a semantics is introduced here for capturing dependencies induced by quantifications in first-order propositional logic. One of the main difficulties that has to be faced during the elaboration of this kind of semantics is to characterize definable strategies, that is strategies which actually behave like a proof. This is usually done by restricting the model to strategies satisfying subtle combinatorial conditions, whose preservation under composition is often difficult to show. Here, we present an original methodology to achieve this task, which requires to combine advanced tools from game semantics, rewriting theory and categorical algebra. We introduce a diagrammatic presentation of the monoidal category of definable strategies of our model, by the means of generators and relations: those strategies can be generated from a finite set of atomic strategies and the equality between strategies admits a finite axiomatization, this equational structure corresponding to a polarized variation of the notion of bialgebra. This work thus bridges algebra and denotational semantics in order to reveal the structure of dependencies induced by first-order quantifiers, and lays the foundations for a mechanized analysis of causality in programming languages.
Recovery processes in spark channel.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The increase in breakdown potential of a spark channel, formed by discharging a high current pulse between tungsten electrodes, has been studied at times after the current pulse ceases. The dependence of the breakdown potential on time is called the recovery characteristic of the spark channel. The characteristics have been measured for spark channels in air, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon and sulfur hexafluoride. Two new methods of measuring the spark channel temperature and diameter are described. In the first, the temperature is determined from the breakdown potential of an auxiliary spark gap in the second, the temperature is deduced by measuring the velocity of sound in the channel with piezo-electric pressure probes. The results indicate that the maximum diameter of the channel is determined by the interaction between the channel and gas in the surrounding vessel. Temperature measurements agree with the results of earlier workers. By using layered electrodes with tungsten surfaces, it is shown that the recovery characteristic of air sparks is controlled by the cooling effects of the electrodes. Measurements on hydrogen sparks, demonstrate that the breakdown potential increases significantly 10 ¯¹ sees after the spark channel is formed. Changes produced by doping the hydrogen with water vapour and oxygen indicate that this delayed increase in breakdown potential is produced by the adsorption of hydrogen onto the tungsten electrode surfaces.

description: The differential calculus based on the derivations of an associative algebra underlies most of the noncommutative field theories considered so far. We review the essential properties of this framework and the main features of noncommutative connections in the case of non graded associative unital algebras with involution. We extend this framework to the case of ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-graded unital involutive algebras. We show, in the case of the Moyal algebra or some related ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-graded version of it, that the derivation based differential calculus is a suitable framework to construct Yang-Mills-Higgs type models on Moyal (or related) algebras, the covariant coordinates having in particular a natural interpretation as Higgs fields. We also exhibit, in one situation, a link between the renormalisable NC $ϕ^4$-model with harmonic term and a gauge theory model. Some possible consequences of this are briefly discussed.

description: NHTSA’s “Misuse of Child Restraints” study (DOT HS 809 671) identified high rates of unrestrained children of booster seat age and weight. This project was undertaken in response to those findings, selecting 5- to 7-year-olds to target because of the higher rate of nonuse in that age range. The study objective was to suggest solutions to the problem of unrestrained children riding in motor vehicles. The study methodology entailed: (1) a literature review to identify factors associated with children’s nonuse of occupant restraints and potential interventions; (2) discussions with key informants to identify barriers to restraint use in this child population, and to recommend strategies to reduce nonuse; (3) a brainstorming session with experts to propose and prioritize strategies to reduce nonuse among identified high-risk populations; and (4) focus groups in four cities with adults observed transporting unrestrained children ages 5 to 7 to discuss strategies to increase restraint use. The obtained information encompassed not just nonuse but also improper use (e.g., using a seat belt instead of a booster seat).

description: Abstract

Globally, social entrepreneurs are recognised for their contribution in addressing socio-economic challenges and measuring their social impact is considered very important. However, few or little studies have been conducted on the effects of social impact measurement challenges on social entrepreneurs’ activities. Hence, this study aimed to investigate and empirically test the effects of social impact measurement challenges on social entrepreneurs’ activities in South Africa, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) township communities. The study adopted a quantitative research approach, using a snowball sampling technique to select 90 social entrepreneurs from three township communities in the KZN Province. SPSS (27.0) version was used to analyse the data collected. Findings from the study indicated that the lack of social impact measurement affect SEs understanding the contribution of their activities, and the methods/techniques to use in addressing social problems. In addition, lack of social impact measurement affects the ability of SEs to identify other opportunities to solve social problems, and investors willingness to provide financial support for SE activities. The findings from this study contribute both to the existing body of knowledge, as well as social sector. The findings from this study will also assist SEs and other relevant stakeholders to better understand how social impact measurement can enhance social value creation in disadvantaged communities.

description: Wearing a seat belt has been shown effective in avoiding or reducing serious injury due to traffic crashes. While belt use rates in the United States increased from under 60% in 1994 to 83% in 2008, a substantial number of drivers still drive unbelted. Current efforts to increase seat belt use focus primarily on high-visibility enforcement campaigns, public education, and seat belt reminder systems. NHTSA investigated a novel engineering approach using a gearshift delay to increase belt use among commercial drivers in the United States and Canada. A car with automatic transmission cannot shift into gear if the vehicle senses that the brake lights are not lit, meaning that the driver must have a foot on the brake pedal. This safety feature was designed to prevent vehicles from accelerating unintentionally after being placed into drive or reverse. For this study, a relatively simple change to the software code allowed the system to make an additional check before the vehicle can be placed into drive. Specifically, at the same time as the brake light check occurs, the vehicle’s computers checked to see if the driver was belted. If the driver was not belted, a gearshift-seat belt delay system prevented the driver from shifting out of park for several seconds. The timing of the reminder system was designed to prompt drivers before they started driving to avoid the possibility of stimulus overload as they negotiated their way into traffic, a trip segment associated with high cognitive demand. This timing should allow most drivers sufficient time to buckle up, thereby avoiding the prompt. It also had the safety benefit of prompting unbuckled drivers before they placed their vehicles in motion.

description: The papers presented in this panel focus on large-scale acquisitions of lands for agricultural or agriculture-related uses in developing countries. ‘Land grabbing’ is an issue that cuts across all these papers, as they try to shed more light on a controversial phenomenon that has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Each paper addresses the issue from a different disciplinary angle, offering a different analytical perspective. More in general, the papers build on the ongoing debate – which sees the active participation of academic scholars, international development agencies and civil society’s representatives – on agriculture and rural development in developing countries. This debate touches upon focuses on a number of key issues. First, the role of agriculture that, although long neglected by public policies, can be an engine for development and economic growth. Secondly, the need for greater support for small-scale producers, increasing their productivity and strengthening their focus on the global market. Thirdly, the need to solve all the issues concerning land property/access, especially with regard to women, and local population’s customary land rights.

description: This paper is about globalisation, the state, and community development and social change in Melanesia. The paper draws on the concept of “the Melanesian way” and also explores the role and influence of the Christian churches, kastom, and nongovernment organisations (NGOs) in Melanesian society. It takes the experiences of the Solomon Islands as its focus and a case study is made of the North New Georgia Sustainable Social Forestry and Rural Development Project – a re-afforestation program established on the island of New Georgia in the late 1990s. Through this case study the emergence of a locally-derived and locally-based approach to resource development is examined.

description: Alaseljavalu on levinud tervisehäire. Need haiged on perearstide, närviarstide, ortopeedide, reumatoloogide sagedased külastajad. Enamasti on tegemist hea prognoosiga, sageli iseparaneva mittespetsiifilise seljavaluga. Nii äge kui ka krooniline alaseljavalu võib olla ka ohtliku halva prognoosiga haiguse sümptomiks. Need seisundid on vaja õigel ajal diagnoosida ja ravida. Seljavaluga võib kaasneda ka radikulopaatia sümptomaatika. Kõikidel juhtudel, eriti retsidiveeruva, alaägeda ja kroonilise kulu korral on vaja täpsustada vaevuste põhjus. Esmaseks uuringuks on haige püstiasendis tehtud spondülogrammid, visualiseerimismeetoditest on eelistatuim MRT.  Seljavaluga haige ravi on kompleksne (füsiaatriline ja medikamentoosne). Tähtsal kohal on haige nõustamine, tema aktiivne osavõtt raviprotsessist. Kirurgiline ravi on rakendatav kindlatel näidustustel.

description: Primary seat belt laws are associated with higher selfreported seat belt use rates and fewer traffic fatalities following enactment. Primary laws allow police to issue a citation solely upon observation of a seat belt violation. In contrast, secondary laws require that police first observe another violation (e.g., speeding) before being able to issue a seat belt citation. States with primary laws have higher observed seat belt usage rates than those with secondary laws. As of July 2008, 26 States had primary belt laws. Maine upgraded its seat belt law from secondary to primary, effective September 20, 2007, with an educational grace period to April 1, 2008. Preusser Research Group examined the effect of the law change on public awareness of the new law, seat belt use, and police attitudes. They collected data both before and after enforcement of the law and immediately following Maine’s Click It or Ticket May 2008 mobilization.

description: The leading cause of death in the Nation for children age 3 to 6 and 8 to 14 is motor vehicle crashes. The most effective strategy for preventing injury and death to children involved in crashes is using age- and sizeappropriate restraints. Although child restraint use is over 90% for children younger than 4, only 50% of children 4 to 7 are appropriately restrained in booster seats or child restraints despite the fact that most States (45) and the District of Columbia have booster seat laws in place. States differ on age, weight, and height requirements for booster seat occupants. While there is evidence that occupant protection laws and enforcement (with publicity) do promote child restraint and booster seat use, there is a need to better understand the most effective strategies law enforcement agencies (LEAs) can use to encourage higher levels of booster seat use in their communities. This study included topics relating to training, logistics, types of techniques, legal issues, socio-demographic and highway safety concerns, education, and other issues that can affect LEAs’ abilities to enforce booster seat laws.
Testing Yukawa-unified SUSY during year 1 of LHC: the role of multiple b-jets, dileptons and missing E_T

description: We examine the prospects for testing SO(10) Yukawa-unified supersymmetric models during the first year of LHC running at \sqrt{s}= 7 TeV, assuming integrated luminosity values of 0.1 to 1 fb^-1. We consider two cases: the Higgs splitting (HS) and the D-term splitting (DR3) models. Each generically predicts light gluinos and heavy squarks, with an inverted scalar mass hierarchy. We hence expect large rates for gluino pair production followed by decays to final states with large b-jet multiplicity. For 0.2 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity, we find a 5 sigma discovery reach of m(gluino) ~ 400 GeV even if missing transverse energy, E_T^miss, is not a viable cut variable, by examining the multi-b-jet final state. A corroborating signal should stand out in the opposite-sign (OS) dimuon channel in the case of the HS model; the DR3 model will require higher integrated luminosity to yield a signal in the OS dimuon channel. This region may also be probed by the Tevatron with 5-10 fb^-1 of data, if a corresponding search in the multi-b+ E_T^miss channel is performed. With higher integrated luminosities of ~1 fb^-1, using E_T^miss plus a large multiplicity of b-jets, LHC should be able to discover Yukawa-unified SUSY with m(gluino) up to about 630 GeV. Thus, the year 1 LHC reach for Yukawa-unified SUSY should be enough to either claim a discovery of the gluino, or to very nearly rule out this class of models, since higher values of m(gluino) lead to rather poor Yukawa unification.

description: Evidence in the field and on driving simulators suggests that when conducting secondary in-vehicle tasks, teen drivers are much more likely to glance inside the vehicle for long periods of time than are more experienced drivers. Such periods of distraction appear highly related to crashes and near crashes for drivers of all ages, but especially for teen drivers. Simply training drivers never to glance inside the vehicle, however, could be unsafe since glances at gauges and mirrors might actually serve to decrease crash risk. Also, given the large number of distractions in modern vehicles (e.g., radio/entertainment systems, cellular phones), it would be naive to think that drivers would voluntarily ignore the temptation to look away from the forward roadway while they are driving. This suggests the need for a training program that emphasizes the importance of minimizing distractions but also helps drivers learn to distribute the time that they do spend on in-vehicle tasks into more frequent and shorter glances instead of several long glances. Two studies are described here that document the development and evaluation of such a training program.

DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION AND INTERNATIONALIZATION OF UNIVERSITIES

Publisher: name: JUNCO | Journal of UNiversities and international development COoperation
Year: 2014

description: This panel arises from the need to share experiences of integrating international development cooperation in the strategic process of internationalization of universities in all their functions: their teaching, learning and research policies and in the organization of services and administration. The internationalization process, which most universities are embarking on as no longer avoidable, provide them with the opportunity to acquire the tools and the attitudes essential to ward off an otherwise inevitable loss of relevance in contemporary societies. Internationalizing the university through both “cross-border” mobility of students and faculty, and changes to curricula, means integrating the international, intercultural and global dimensions in their central functions (research, training and services) in order to transform society. To gain a broad perspective, an uncommon sensitivity and a high capacity of inter-cultural and trans- national communication is needed not only for teachers but also for the culture of the institution. The end product of such an approach should be the development of a “global perspective” that will lead to the emergence of professionals / citizens of the world. The “global citizen” is one who sees the world and its inhabitants as interdependent and works to promote both his own interests and those of the most disadvantaged populations, anywhere on the planet. Equipped with the appropriate tools, those who leave the university can contribute to the best achievements in their professional role within the community, at home as well as abroad.
