title: Community Governance in Melanesia: The Impact of Long-Range Leaders
Creators: name: Forsyth, Miranda

Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Dept. of Pacific Affairs, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, The Australian National University
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Coomunity Governance
subject: Melanesia

description: It is becoming increasingly hard to understand local level governance in Melanesia without attending to the role played by ‘long-range leaders’. We use this term to refer to members of a village community who are living permanently or periodically outside their community, usually in a larger town or city. Unlike their Polynesian and Micronesian neighbours, few Melanesian countries (with the exception of Fiji) have significant overseas diasporas, so we are concerned primarily with incountry long-range leadership. Long-range leaders can be elites such as politicians, businessmen/women or senior bureaucrats. In some contexts, they can simply be individuals with a regular pay-packet living in an urban area. Their leadership claim may stem from their standing in the village including customary title, or status gained through education or employment. In recent fieldwork in Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea (PNG), we have become increasingly struck by the profound influence exercised by such leaders.
Perché non è giusto vietare l’accesso alla riproduzione assistita alle donne in menopausa
Creators: name: Balistreri, Maurizio

Subjects: assisted reproduction, motherhood; parental rights; bioethics; in vitro gametes

description: Law 40/2004 on assisted reproduction states that access to medically assisted procreation techniques may be available to couples of different sex, conjugate or cohabiting couples, potentially fertile, both living (article 5). Where "potentially fertile age" means the age at which men and women may normally have a child from their gametes. In our species, men are "potentially fertile" for entire life, as they can produce sperm capable of fertilizing an egg until death. Fertility of sperm also diminishes over time, but a man may have a biological child (starting from his own sperm) even in a very advanced age. Women, on the other hand, are considered "potentially fertile" up to the age of 51 because, on average, it is from this age that they no longer produce fertile oocytes. Starting from an analysis of the debate on the moral and legal acceptability of maternity in advanced age and also considering the possibility that in future we will be able to use in vitro gametes, we show why we do not have reasons to forbid assisted reproduction to women who are no longer potentially fertile.

Subjects: law; medical responsibility; contractual liability; extracontractual liability; guide lines

description: This paper provides a critical analysis of the recent Italian law relating to Medical responsability. The law n. 24 of 2017 (so-called Gelli), welcomed with great enthusiasm by the medical class, intervenes, to less than five years from the law Balduzzi, on the statute of the responsability in sanitary circle. The new physiognomy of the negligence of the doctor is based on discipline of the guide lines inside which to potentially individualize the binding recommendations for the operators the sanitary professions and on the introduction of double track between contractual liability of the sanitary structure and the independent contractor and extracontractual liability of the doctor related to the hospital. The analisy presented emphasises the gaps and the contradictions of law which also from the formulation chosen by the legislator.

Subjects: Biolaw; clinical trial; Regulation 536/2014; transparency; ethics committees

description: Clinical trials for human use have the purpose to verify the effectiveness and the security of new pharmaceutical products on human beans. This scientific process represents a fundamental step on the development of the medical science and of the human health, but the necessary human participation has determined the need to provide for a legal regulation of all the aspects of these clinical trials. This paper aims at describing some legal aspects of the clinical trials regulation, focusing on the new European legislation: The Regulation (EU) No 536/2014. Through the analysis of the most controversial issues in the clinical trials regulation (the public access to clinical information and the Ethics Committee’s role in the assessment of the trial protocol), it’s possible to evaluate the main innovations and the effects produced by the new Regulation to make the clinical trials legislation more uniform in the EU territory.

description: We consider particles suspended in a randomly stirred or turbulent fluid. When effects of the inertia of the particles are significant, an initially uniform scatter of particles can cluster together. We analyse this 'unmixing' effect by calculating the Lyapunov exponents for dense particles suspended in such a random three-dimensional flow, concentrating on the limit where the viscous damping rate is small compared to the inverse correlation time of the random flow (that is, the regime of large Stokes number). In this limit Lyapunov exponents are obtained as a power series in a parameter which is a dimensionless measure of the inertia. We report results for the first seven orders. The perturbation series is divergent, but we obtain accurate results from a Pade-Borel summation. We deduce that particles can cluster onto a fractal set and show that its dimension is in satisfactory agreement with previously reported in simulations of turbulent Navier-Stokes flows. We also investigate the rate of formation of caustics in the particle flow.

description: Is there a right to scientific research? Is it somehow connected to bioethics? In international law, a right to benefit from scientific progress is acknowledged and promoted. Could it include also the right to actively participate to the scientific research, meaning a right to take part to the decision making process on research? This right could have a positive impact on equality and on the sharing of the benefits of research. It could also promote new research agendas.

description: We measure the smoothness of the infrared sky using the COBE DIRBE maps, and obtain interesting limits on the production of the diffuse cosmic infrared background (CIB) light by matter clustered like galaxies. The predicted fluctuations of the CIB with the DIRBE beam size of 0.7° are of the order of 10\%, and the maps are smooth at the level of $δνI_ν\sim $ a few \nwm2sr rms from 2.2 to 100 \um. The lowest numbers are achieved at mid- to far-IR where the foreground is bright but smooth; they are $\sqrt{C(0)}$$\leq$$(1-1.5)$ \nwm2sr at $λ=$ 10-100 \um. If the CIB comes from clustered matter evolving according to typical scenarios, then the smoothness of the maps implies CIB levels less than $\sim (10-15) $ \nwm2sr over this wavelength range.

description: We discuss the structure of scalar field theories having the property that all on-shell S-matrix elements vanish in tree approximation. It is shown that there exists a large class of such theories, with derivative couplings, which are all locally related to a free theory by a nonlinear transformation. It is also shown that a field-dependent wave-function renormalization provides all necessary counterterms so that all on-shell S-matrix elements vanish also at the one-loop level.

The Wisdom Of The Quebec Lawmaker And Mediation: How Game Theory Provides a Nudge in The Right Direction
Creators: name: Lorteau, Steve

Year: 2017
Subjects: Code of Civil Procedure
Law and economics
Mediation
Game theory

description: In the new Code of Civil Procedure, Quebec’s lawmakers have shown a strong resolve in favour of private processes for preventing and resolving disputes. This resolve is manifested not only in the preliminary provision, but also by the fact that considering private means is now a mandatory step prior to litigation. As it is so recent, early assessments of the new Code are based on anecdotal evidence rather than a systematic analysis of private processes. Taking an approach rooted in mathematical economics demonstrates the lawmakers’ (somewhat unintentional) wisdom in advocating for these private processes—particularly in the case of mediation—as they favour more optimal dispute resolution for the parties involved than litigation. In this context, optimality refers to a strategy that maxi- mizes utility for the parties. This approach reveals the mechanisms that make mediation optimal in many cases where parties are involved in a dispute.

description: Five on duty police officers across Canada died in 2022, including Toronto Police Service Constable Andrew Hong (September 12), South Simcoe Police Service constables Morgan Russell and Devon Northrup (October 12), Burnaby Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Shaelyn Yang (October 18), and Ontario Provincial Police Constable Grzegorz Pierzchala (December 27). In response, a number of police force leaders and police association representatives claimed that the number of these deaths was “unprecedented”. The Criminalization and Punishment Education Project (CPEP) examined whether these claims were true. In examining the data available online, CPEP published the first version of this resource in January 2023, which demonstrated that there had been several other years over the past six decades where more police officers had died while on duty. CPEP then investigated the circumstances of on duty police officer deaths to examine how many of these incidents where the result of intentional harmful acts and released the second version of this resource in February 2023, which found that the number of deaths stemming from violent acts committed against police officers was also not unprecedented. Unfortunately, so far in 2023 four more police officers – Edmonton Police Service Constable Travis Jordan and Constable Brett Ryan (March 16), Sûreté du Québec Sergeant Maureen Breau (March 27), and Ontario Provincial Police Sergeant Eric Mueller (May 11) – were killed as a result of intentional harmful acts, while another – Strathcona County Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Harvinder Singh Dhami (April 10) – died in a motor vehicle incident. This updated resource examines on duty police officer deaths across Canada from 1962 to 2023.
OCCUPATIONAL SEGREGATION AND THE GENDER EARNINGS GAP: NEW EVIDENCE FROM SKILLED TRADESWORKERS IN CANADA

Year: 2020

description: The goal of this paper is to leverage Statistics Canada’s Registered Apprenticeship Information System (RAIS)–T1 Family File (T1FF) linkage to provide the first decomposition results on the gender earnings gap of new skilled tradesworkers. This newly available and extremely rich dataset overcomes many previous data limitations related to this key group of the labour market. The RAIS–T1FF master files are only accessible through the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN); no public-use files are available due to the high confidentiality of the data. I applied for and was granted access to these master files through the CRDCN, completed my analysis, and had submitted results for vetting. Due to the sudden and indefinite closure of the CRDCN as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, my vetting request was not completed; therefore, no results are available for release and discussion at this time. Nonetheless, my paper contributes to the literature by presenting emerging stylized facts and novel insight into the RAIS–T1FF linkage.
On Target? The Incidence of Sanctions Across Listed Firms in Iran

description: How successful are sanctions at targeting the economic interests of political elites in affected countries?We study the effi cacy of targeting in the case of Iran, using information on the stock exchange-listed assets of two specific political entities with substantial influence over the direction of Iran's nuclear program. Our identification strategy focuses on the process of negotiations for sanctions removal, examining which interests benefit most from news about diplomatic progress. We find that the stockreturns of firms owned by targeted political elites respond especially sharply to such news, though other listed firms unconnected to these elites also benefit from progress towards sanctions relief. These results indicate the ‘bluntness’ of sanctions on Iran, but also provide evidence of their effectiveness in generating economic incentives for elite policymakers to negotiate a deal for sanctions relief.

description: Designers usually complete the design with nominal dimensions and allocate tolerances only at the drawing stage. This practice can cause the following problems: (1) unnecessarily tight tolerances that require expensive manufacturing processes, (2) parts whose proper functioning is contingent on excessively tight tolerances, and (3) situations whcre slight wear on a part can seriously modify the bchavior of the device. There is a need for computer-bascd techniques which will allow designers to invcstigate Lhe erfect of manufacturing tolerances on the function their design performs. This paper presents a means for capturing the kinematic behavior of a device and relating it to the tolerances on it’s components. Behavior is represented using a configuration space representation, which we argue will be a useful tool for designers.
Nearby Optical Galaxies: Selection of the Sample and Identification of Groups

description: In this paper we describe the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) sample, which is a complete, distance-limited ($cz\leq$6000 km/s) and magnitude-limited (B$\leq$14) sample of $\sim$7000 optical galaxies. The sample covers 2/3 (8.27 sr) of the sky ($|b|>20^{\circ}$) and appears to have a good completeness in redshift (98%). We select the sample on the basis of homogenized corrected total blue magnitudes in order to minimize systematic effects in galaxy sampling. We identify the groups in this sample by means of both the hierarchical and the percolation {\it friends of friends} methods. The resulting catalogs of loose groups appear to be similar and are among the largest catalogs of groups presently available. Most of the NOG galaxies ($\sim$60%) are found to be members of galaxy pairs ($\sim$580 pairs for a total of $\sim$15% of objects) or groups with at least three members ($\sim$500 groups for a total of $\sim$45% of objects). About 40% of galaxies are left ungrouped (field galaxies). We illustrate the main features of the NOG galaxy distribution. Compared to previous optical and IRAS galaxy samples, the NOG provides a denser sampling of the galaxy distribution in the nearby universe. Given its large sky coverage, the identification of groups, and its high-density sampling, the NOG is suited for the analysis of the galaxy density field of the nearby universe, especially on small scales.

description: An extremely polarized mixture of an ultracold Fermi gas is expected to reduce to a Fermi polaron system, which consists of a single impurity immersed in the Fermi sea of majority atoms. By developing a many-body T -matrix theory, we investigate spectral properties of the polarized mixture in experimentally relevant regimes in which the system of finite impurity concentration at nonzero temperature is concerned. We explicitly demonstrate presence of polaron physics in the polarized limit and discuss effects of many polarons in an intermediate regime in a self-consistent manner. By analyzing the spectral function at finite impurity concentration, we extract the attractive and repulsive polaron energies. We find that a renormalization of majority atoms via an interaction with minority atoms and a thermal depletion of the impurity chemical potential are of significance to depict the many-polaron regime.

title: A Network of National Socialists? The Physical Manifestation of Extreme Right Ideology in the Trans-Tasman, 2000-2022
Creators: name: Robinson, Jen
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Studies concerning the activities of the extreme right in the trans-Tasman were limited before Tarrant's massacre in 2019. Literature prior to 2019 predominately focused on the historical legacy of fascism in Australia and New Zealand but did not examine how this legacy may have shaped the current manifestation. Since 2019, the literature has become more empirically focused. Yet it remains concentrated on narrow aspects of the phenomenon, rather than examining the movement as a holistic entity guided by an ideological strategic goal. No research conducted within the trans-Tasman extreme right has studied how ideology guides connectivity in its pursuit of its overall agenda. This Thesis, therefore, seeks to address this shortfall. It seeks not only to create an empirically sound body of knowledge to explain the movement as a holistic entity, but also to build a foundation from which future research can expand. This Thesis takes the starting position that ideology not only guides the actions of individuals associated with the extreme right towards their strategic goal, but that ideology dictates the very structure required to achieve that goal. Thus, the more adherent to the ideology a movement becomes, the more structured they become, and, therefore, the more active they become. This Thesis created two unique datasets and utilised qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques to empirically demonstrate the networked status of the trans-Tasman movement and the methods it employs to pursue its agenda. The resulting outcomes can provide practitioners with a holistic understanding of the movement whilst highlighting areas of weakness within it which may help to prevent a further atrocity.

description: The Bose-Hubbard dimer Hamiltonian is a simple yet effective model for describing tunneling phenomena of Bose-Einstein condensates. One of the significant mathematical properties of the model is that it can be exactly solved by Bethe ansatz methods. Here we review the known exact solutions, highlighting the contributions of V.B. Kuznetsov to this field. Two of the exact solutions arise in the context of the Quantum Inverse Scattering Method, while the third solution uses a differential operator realisation of the su(2) Lie algebra.

description: The Well of Loneliness (1928) by Radclyffe Hall changed British perceptions of gender identity and performance in its plea for the respect of lesbian identities. While previous studies have centered on the protagonist‘s nonconformity and lesbianism, this paper will also examine how the novel‘s controversy and the author‘s personal ties to the subject ultimately brought more fame to what is now considered the original lesbian book. This essay will not only analyse evolving historic views on homosexuality and cross-dressing, but also assess how homophobia shaped the author‘s work By considering this Bildungsroman‘s fluctuating concepts of gender identity and gender roles, its contributions to the limited corpus of 20th century lesbian literature, and its protagonist‘s development and relationships, this essay will highlight the significance of Hall‘s work both for her era and for contemporary queer studies.

This B = 18.3, radio quiet quasar pair is separated by 2.1" in BRIH filters with magnitude differences of delta m_B = 2.5, delta m_R = delta m_I = 1.9, and delta m_H = 2.3. Spectral observations reveal both components to be z = 2.24 quasars, with relative redshifts that agree at the 100 km/s level, but exhibit pronounced differences in the equivalent widths of related emission features, as well as an enhancement of blue continuum flux in the brighter component longward of the Ly alpha emission feature. In general, similar redshift double quasars can be the result of a physical binary pair, or a single quasar multiply imaged by gravitational lensing. Empirical PSF subtraction of R and H band images of CTQ 839 reveal no indication of a lensing galaxy, and place a detection limit of R = 22.5 and H = 17.4 for a third component in the system. For an Einstein-de Sitter cosmology and SIS model, the R band detection limit constrains the characteristics of any lensing galaxy to z_lens >= 1 with a corresponding luminosity of L >~ 5 L_*, while an analysis based on the redshift probability distribution for the lensing galaxy argues against the existence of a z_lens >~ 1 lens at the 2 sigma level. A similar analysis for a Lambda dominated cosmology, however, does not significantly constrain the existence of any lensing galaxy. The broadband flux differences, spectral dissimilarities, and failure to detect a lensing galaxy make the lensing hypothesis for CTQ 839 unlikely. The similar redshifts of the two components would then argue for a physical quasar binary. At a projected separation of 8.3/h kpc (Omega_matter = 1), CTQ 839 would be the smallest projected separation binary quasar currently known.

description: This review critically examines the long-term management of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using constructed floating wetlands (CFW) as a sustainable approach for contaminated water treatment. PFAS, which are persistent and widely distributed environmental contaminants, pose significant challenges due to their resistance to natural degradation. CFW, featuring buoyant platforms that support vegetation, show promise in mitigating PFAS contamination through a range of natural processes such as plant uptake, sorption to growth media, and accumulation in biofilms. The review explores CFW opportunities, emphasizing their suitability for installation in existing urban environments with minimal earthwork and drainage adjustments to address PFAS contamination. It also assesses CFW limitations, such as potential PFAS trophic transfer, highlighting the need for comprehensive studies on PFAS fate and transport within these systems. To ensure CFW efficiency in long-term PFAS management, the review highlights the importance of site-specific assessments, including plant species selection, hydrodynamics, and PFAS-microbial community interactions. The potential of synergistic removal approaches, combining wetland plants’ phytoremediation capabilities with removable sorptive materials or other substrates are also discussed. Over-all, the study provides valuable insights into CFW, covering opportunities, limitations, and essential implementation considerations for achieving sustainable, long-term PFAS management in contaminated water treatment.

The Piano Teacher
masochism

description: Elfriede Jelinek‘s highly controversial novel The Piano Teacher introduces its protagonist Erika Kohut, a thirty-eight-year-old piano teacher who works at the prestigious Vienna Conservatory. As the book follows the story of Erika, Jelinek reveals her protagonist‘s underlying sadistic, masochistic, voyeuristic, phallic and even fetishistic layers. This paper aims to examine these layers of Erika‘s personality, associated with her most significant feature, masochism. A better understanding of these layers will help us deduct enlightening conclusions on Erika‘s masochism, and other psychological aspects related to the masochism, which are woven stitch by stitch throughout the book.

description: À la naissance d'un enfant qui arrive au monde avec une grosse tête ronde, un seul bras et une seule jambe, les parents décident de quitter pour toujours leur maison en y abandonnant l'enfant monstrueux. Mais la soeur aînée, qui n'est encore qu'une fillette, tient à l'emmener. Voyant cela, les parents abandonnent les deux enfants en chemin. Plus tard, après avoir demandé à sa soeur de le cogner contre un tamarinier, puis contre un arbre à grêlons, le garçon retrouve ses membres, puis un corps complet de jeune homme. Ensuite, il construit une maison tôlée et prend huit épouses. Pendant ce temps, sans enfant pour les aider, les vieux parents errent en brousse où ils tentent de survivre en se nourrissant de souchets sauvages. C'est alors que le garçon leur fait parvenir de la nourriture par magie. Il va ensuite à cheval à leur rencontre. Les parents, qui le prennent pour un Mandara, ont tout d'abord peur de lui. Puis ils finissent par reconnaître leur enfant et celui-ci leur offre alors le gîte et le couvert.
Le neuroscienze come strumento di “emersione” del diritto muto
Creators: name: Gusmai, Antonio
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2017
Subjects: Neurosciences; written law; mute law; regulatory production; sources of law

description: This article investigates how the neuroscientific studies can become useful to unveil the “mute” dimension of law and determine its “appearance”. It is not a coincidence that a sensible anthropologist such as Roderick MacDonald imagined law as an iceberg where its emerged peak, visible above the water, represents the written law, while the most substantial submerged part represents all the implicit and inferential aspects of the law. Looking at the historical reality, the image is far from being defined. After broadly rethinking some of Rodolfo Sacco's reflections about the existence of "mute law", here the following considerations attempt to highlight the importance that neurosciences could have in forming the theoretical basis of the sources of law by better defining the physiology of the regulatory production processes.

Reinforcement Learning Through Gradient Descent

description: Reinforcement learning is often done using parameterized function approximators to store value functions. Algorithms are typically developed for lookup tables, and then applied to function approximators by using backpropagation. This can lead to algorithms diverging on very small, simple MDPs and Markov chains, even with linear function approximators and epoch-wise training. These algorithms are also very difficult to analyze, and difficult to combine with other algorithms. A series of new families of algorithms are derived based on stochastic gradient descent. Since they are derived from first principles with function approximators in mind, they have guaranteed convergence to local minima, even on general nonlinear function approximators. For both residual algorithms and VAPS algorithms, it is possible to take any of the standard algorithms in the field, such as Q-learning or SARSA or value iteration, and rederive a new form of it with provable convergence. In addition to better convergence properties, it is shown how gradient descent allows an inelegant, inconvenient algorithm like Advantage updating to be converted into a much simpler and more easily analyzed algorithm like Advantage learning. In this case that is very useful, since Advantages can be learned thousands of times faster than Q values for continuous-time problems. In this case, there are significant practical benefits of using gradient-descent-based techniques. In addition to improving both the theory and practice of existing types of algorithms, the gradient-descent approach makes it possible to create entirely new classes of reinforcement-learning algorithms. VAPS algorithms can be derived that ignore values altogether, and simply learn good policies directly. One hallmark of gradient descent is the ease with which different algorithms can be combined, and this is a prime example. A single VAPS algorithm can both learn to make its value function satisfy the Bellman equation, and also learn to improve the implied policy directly. Two entirely different approaches to reinforcement learning can be combined into a single algorithm, with a single function approximator with a single output. Simulations are presented that show that for certain problems, there are significant advantages for Advantage learning over Q-learning, residual algorithms over direct, and combinations of values and policy search over either alone. It appears that gradient descent is a powerful unifying concept for the field of reinforcement learning, with substantial theoretical and practical value.

description: This paper discusses the emerging debate concerning the concept of Cognitive Liberty and its connection with human rights. Therefore, considering how recent developments of neurosciences are granting us an increasing ability to monitor and influence mental processes, this article aims to provide a clear definition of Cognitive Liberty understood as a necessary condition to all other freedoms that cannot be reduced to existing rights. In this regard, after presenting the most important positions on the issue, we introduce our point of view, according to which Cognitive Liberty allows us to lay the groundwork for building new neuro-related Human Rights.

description: We study the topology of quasiperiodic solutions of the vortex filament equation in a neighborhood of multiply covered circles. We construct these solutions by means of a sequence of isoperiodic deformations, at each step of which a real double point is "unpinched" to produce a new pair of branch points and therefore a solution of higher genus. We prove that every step in this process corresponds to a cabling operation on the previous curve, and we provide a labelling scheme that matches the deformation data with the knot type of the resulting filament.

Subjects: Brain imaging; mental competence; civil litigation; comparison France/USA

description: The hypothesis of a rise of “neurolaw” shall not be accepted as an obvious and universal truth without taking civil cases and civil law into consideration. This article is intended as a contribution to the discussion, analyzing rulings on cases which mentioned MRIs and brain scans as evidence to challenge the validity of civil legal instruments, based on a claim of mental incompetence (also called “insanité”) in France and in the USA The aim of the study is to test an hypothetical “fascination effect” on judges and to evaluate the true impact in civil jurisprudence of this type of evidence.
