Toppling the Tripod: Sustainable Development, Constructive Ambiguity and the Environmental Challenge
Creators: name: Moore, Frances C
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Discussions of global environmental governance seem to have gotten nowhere in the last thirty years despite environmental problems that continue to grow in scope and magnitude. Here, the role of sustainable development in that failure is examined, particularly the constructively ambiguous nature of the paradigm. It is suggested that an emphasis on the shifting, contextualized and relative term ―needs‖ in the definition of sustainable development has led to paralysis at the international level in addressing environmental problems, particularly climate change. Contradictions that emerge when sustainable development is formalized in economic models as weak and strong sustainability are discussed. Finally, promising future pathways for environmental actions are explored.

description: The Tibet-China debate is entrenched in ethnic history, politics, and tension. Regardless of these realities, Tibetans throughout China’s underdeveloped West are among the poorest nationalities in the country. These field notes highlight and evaluate development efforts instated by three types of entities: the state, foreign development organizations, and local Tibetan development organizations. Many people want to help Tibet, but who is the most appropriate and able?

RITMO ORGANICO E AUTOMATISMO
Creators: name: RASINI, VALLORI
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2014
Subjects: Storia della filosofia; Ritmo; Buytendijk; Plessner; Weizsäcker

description: A validate tradition in contemporary philosophy and biology connects the concept of rhythm to the concept of living being. Basically, rhythm means variability in invariability, change in stability, irregularity in regularity, and it always stands in relation to the “form” of the living body. The physiologist J.J. Buytendijk supports this position with interesting proofs, and Helmuth Plessner, an eminent philosopher of anthropology, accepts and endorses this idea. For his own part, Viktor von Weizsäcker, the promoter of anthropological medicine, in his biological theory of Gestaltkreis agrees in correlating rhythm and form. This idea of rhythm is in contrast with the mechanical automatism traditionally ascribed to inanimate bodies. But Arnold Gehlen – an exponent, along with Plessner, of contemporary philosophical anthropology – proposes a peculiar concept of rhythm, which in his view stands in continuity (not in contrast) with automatism, thus furnishing evidence of the disposition to technology in human being: only as an artificial organism human nature can survive. A very controversial provocation.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: A search for the decay of the tau lepton to five charged and two neutral pions is performed using data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. The analysis uses 232 fb-1 of data at center-of-mass energies on or near the Y(4S) resonance. We observe 10 events with an expected background of 6.5^{+2.0}_{-1.4} events. In the absence of a signal, we set the limit on the branching ratio B(tau- --> 3pi- 2pi+ 2pi0 nu_tau) < 3.4x10^{-6} at the 90% confidence level. This is a significant improvement over the previously established limit. In addition, we search for the decay mode tau- --> 2omega pi- nu_tau. We observe 1 event with an expected background of 0.4^{+1.0}_{-0.4} events and calculate the upper limit B(tau- --> 2omega pi- nu_tau) < 5.4x10^{-7} at the 90% confidence level. This is the first upper limit for this mode.

Growth, Productivity, and Policy Instruments During the Lost Decade: A Replication of Beason and Weinstein (1996) for the Period 1992-1998
Creators: name: Pinkovskiy, Maxim L.
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: We replicate the analysis of the connection between Japanese sectoral productivity growth and industrial policy performed by Beason and Weinstein (1996) of national accounts data for the period 1992 to 1999. We show that despite some positive raw correlations between growth and industrial policy tools, there is no robust association between growth and industrial policy in the 1990s. This is consistent with the conclusions of Beason and Weinstein for the high-growth period (1960-1973). We also confirm the development of some trends evident in the previous data, such as the skewed distribution of policy instrument application to politically influential industries and the inconsistent application of different instruments to industries. Overall, the data is much more consistent with a theory of Japanese industrial policy as a product of political economy than industrial policy as a response to growth and productivity.

description: We report a study of the magnetization reversals and skyrmion configurations in two systems - Pt/Co/MgO and Ir/Fe/Co/Pt multilayers, where magnetic skyrmions are stabilized by a combination of dipolar and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI). First Order Reversal Curve (FORC) diagrams of low-DMI Pt/Co/MgO and high-DMI Ir/Fe/Co/Pt exhibit stark differences, which are identified by micromagnetic simulations to be indicative of hybrid and pure Néel skyrmions, respectively. Tracking the evolution of FORC features in multilayers with dipolar interactions and DMI, we find that the negative FORC valley, typically accompanying the positive FORC peak near saturation, disappears under both reduced dipolar interactions and enhanced DMI. As these conditions favor the formation of pure Neel skyrmions, we propose that the resultant FORC feature - a single positive FORC peak near saturation - can act as a fingerprint for pure Néel skyrmions in multilayers. Our study thus expands on the utility of FORC analysis as a tool for characterizing spin topology in multilayer thin films.

Thirsty for Change: Considering Water Privatization in Developing Countries
Creators: name: Ruben-Samala, Celene
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Access, maintenance, and distribution of clean water are daunting tasks for developing nations. Efforts to provide clean drinking water have often fallen short, which has prompted the World Bank to advocate for privatization. From a theoretical perspective, privatization blends the advantages of corporate efficiency with responsible management on behalf of the national government. Analysis of attempts to privatize water in the Philippines, with the establishment of the Metropolitan Waterworks Sewerage System (MWSS), shows mixed results. Between 1997 and 2003, citizens with access to water increased from 58 percent to 84 percent, yet water became five times costlier due to privatization. Advocates may applaud the efficiency of the model, but developing nations must emphasize accessibility and affordability of the resource. Privatization, as a model for water distribution, remains contentious.

The black soliton is found to be the first stationary vibrational excitation of the system and is considered to be a nonlinear continuation of the vibrational excitation of the harmonic oscillator state. We illustrate the stationary nature of the black soliton, by studying different perturbations on it after its formation.

Subjects: subject: 610 Medizin, Gesundheit

description: As noted by Roman poet Virgil already more than 2,000 years ago: “The greatest wealth is health.”. Without health, there is no happiness, no peace, and no success according to the Reflections Recovery Center from Arizona, United States (USA, U.S.). The goal of the Healthy People 2020-project (HP2020), which is led by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), was to “promote quality life, healthy development, and health behaviors across all life stages” among the U.S. population. HP2020 measures progress by using so-called Leading Health Indicators (LHI), reliable data sources, baseline values as well as targets for LHI-individual improvements for every measurable objective to be achieved by 2020 and each following decade. In the further course, these values were compared to student populations from the U.S., Germany, and Poland. The goal of this master's thesis was to obtain more data on international health, particularly among student populations. For the statistical analysis, data were obtained from an online survey that was distributed to students in at least one university in each of the three countries. In total, data from 380 students were analyzed in terms of HP2020 goal attainment. To determine if statistically significant differences were present, the z-test was used. The biggest differences emerged on the following topics: access to healthcare, environmental quality, obesity as well as reproductive and sexual health.

description: XRISM is an X-ray astronomical mission by the JAXA, NASA, ESA and other international participants, that is planned for launch in 2022 (Japanese fiscal year), to quickly restore high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of astrophysical objects. To enhance the scientific outputs of the mission, the Science Operations Team (SOT) is structured independently from the instrument teams and the Mission Operations Team. The responsibilities of the SOT are divided into four categories: 1) guest observer program and data distributions, 2) distribution of analysis software and the calibration database, 3) guest observer support activities, and 4) performance verification and optimization activities. As the first step, lessons on the science operations learned from past Japanese X-ray missions are reviewed, and 15 kinds of lessons are identified. Among them, a) the importance of early preparation of the operations from the ground stage, b) construction of an independent team for science operations separate from the instrument development, and c) operations with well-defined duties by appointed members are recognized as key lessons. Then, the team structure and the task division between the mission and science operations are defined; the tasks are shared among Japan, US, and Europe and are performed by three centers, the SOC, SDC, and ESAC, respectively. The SOC is designed to perform tasks close to the spacecraft operations, such as spacecraft planning, quick-look health checks, pre-pipeline processing, etc., and the SDC covers tasks regarding data calibration processing, maintenance of analysis tools, etc. The data-archive and user-support activities are covered both by the SOC and SDC. Finally, the science-operations tasks and tools are defined and prepared before launch.

description: In the tradition of twentieth-century morphological thinking, the concept of form constitutes the profound unity from which it is possible to articulate the relationship between subject and object and the expressive qualities of experience and reality. Erich Rothacker in his last book, pub- lished posthumously in 1966 and titled Zur Genealogie des menschlichen Bewusstseins, outlines a genesis of human consciousness in which the relationship with reality is structured expressively starting from sensory-motor images up to the conscience of the world (Weltbewusstsein) on the basis of a criterion of organic-expressive significance, while, even more markedly, Viktor von Weizsäcker concludes his theory of Gestaltkreis reformulating the “circularity of form” as a “circularity of life” (Lebenskreis), to be grasped on the basis of pathic-expressive categories that belong to the experience of form.

description: The paper deals with the «philosophy of form» developed by Merleau-Ponty in La structure du comportement (1942). Through the concepts of form and structure, the philosopher looks for a new instrument of knowledge able to connect life order with specifically human order. What is at stake is the attempt to conceptualize a «conscience naturée» which makes it possible to reinterpret the dialectical relation between life and thought, and to rethink some categories of moral philosophy (existence, freedom, choice).

Optimizing the Source Distribution in Fluid Mixing

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: A passive scalar is advected by a velocity field, with a nonuniform spatial source that maintains concentration inhomogeneities. For example, the scalar could be temperature with a source consisting of hot and cold spots, such that the mean temperature is constant. Which source distributions are best mixed by this velocity field? This question has a straightforward yet rich answer that is relevant to real mixing problems. We use a multiscale measure of steady-state enhancement to mixing and optimize it by a variational approach. We then solve the resulting Euler--Lagrange equation for a perturbed uniform flow and for simple cellular flows. The optimal source distributions have many broad features that are as expected: they avoid stagnation points, favor regions of fast flow, and their contours are aligned such that the flow blows hot spots onto cold and vice versa. However, the detailed structure varies widely with diffusivity and other problem parameters. Though these are model problems, the optimization procedure is simple enough to be adapted to more complex situations.

Reducing Uncertainty: The Need to Clarify the Key Elements of the Precautionary Principle
Creators: name: Holdway, Aaron
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: In the past two decades, the precautionary principle has appeared ever more widely in national and international law and policy concerned with the environment and public health. A general lack of clarity in these policy instruments about how the precautionary principle should be operationalized, however, has undermined the principle’s potential as a valuable tool for public policy-makers and decision-makers. This paper builds on the existing literature on the precautionary principle by identifying four key elements that require particular attention if the precautionary principle is to be effectively operationalized. Key considerations for policy-makers are outlined for each of these elements. The paper situates these ideas in the context of the overlapping spheres of science and politics, addressing common misunderstandings about the relationship between expert knowledge and public value choices.

Condensation of Classical Nonlinear Waves in a Two-Component System

description: We study the formation of large-scale coherent structures (a condensate) for a system of two weakly interacting classical waves. Using the coupled defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations as a representative model, we focus on condensation in the phase mixing regime. We employ weak turbulence theory to provide a complete thermodynamic description of the classical condensation process. We show that the temperature and the condensate mass fractions are fully determined by the total number of particles in each component and the initial total energy. Moreover, we find that, at higher energies, condensation can occur in only one component. The theory presented provides excellent agreement with results of numerical simulations obtained by directly integrating the dynamical model.

description: Video object detection is a fundamental problem in computer vision and has a wide spectrum of applications. Based on deep networks, video object detection is actively studied for pushing the limits of detection speed and accuracy. To reduce the computation cost, we sparsely sample key frames in video and treat the rest frames are non-key frames; a large and deep network is used to extract features for key frames and a tiny network is used for non-key frames. To enhance the features of non-key frames, we propose a novel short-term feature aggregation method to propagate the rich information in key frame features to non-key frame features in a fast way. The fast feature aggregation is enabled by the freely available motion cues in compressed videos. Further, key frame features are also aggregated based on optical flow. The propagated deep features are then integrated with the directly extracted features for object detection. The feature extraction and feature integration parameters are optimized in an end-to-end manner. The proposed video object detection network is evaluated on the large-scale ImageNet VID benchmark and achieves 77.2\% mAP, which is on-par with state-of-the-art accuracy, at the speed of 30 FPS using a Titan X GPU.

description: In this article, we explore the relationship between cellular phone data and housing prices in Budapest, Hungary. We determine mobility indicators from one months of Call Detail Records (CDR) data, while the property price data are used to characterize the socioeconomic status at the Capital of Hungary. First, we validated the proposed methodology by comparing the Home and Work locations estimation and the commuting patterns derived from the cellular network dataset with reports of the national mini census. We investigated the statistical relationships between mobile phone indicators, such as Radius of Gyration, the distance between Home and Work locations or the Entropy of visited cells, and measures of economic status based on housing prices. Our findings show that the mobility correlates significantly with the socioeconomic status. We performed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on combined vectors of mobility indicators in order to characterize the dependence of mobility habits on socioeconomic status. The results of the PCA investigation showed remarkable correlation of housing prices and mobility customs.

The Effect of the Spatial Resolution of Conflict Data on the Analysis of Drought As a Local Determinant of Civil War Onset: Africa, 1980 – 2001
Creators: name: Onda, Chikara
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: With the steady decrease in freshwater availability and the growth of world population, freshwater distribution is likely to become an increasingly prominent source of conflict. Given that civil wars by definition occur within national boundaries and therefore involve factors that vary within the country in which they occur, past studies examining the determinants of civil conflict using the state as the unit of observation are inherently flawed. Improvements in the accuracy of the delineations of such conflict should increase the ability to determine the local determinants of civil war. This analysis focuses on Africa between 1980 and 2001, utilizing a refined version of the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO) Armed Conflict dataset at the 0.25-degree resolution, and juxtaposing this data on rainfall data using GIS analysis. Using socioeconomic factors as control variables, we perform a logistic regression analysis, comparing the correlation coefficients from this analysis to those of a previous study using conflict centroids with radii as the units of observation. Thus, this study aims to explore the effect a change in the spatial level of resolution of conflict data has on our ability to analyze geographic determinants of war outbreak. We find that, despite the altered delineation of conflict data, the statistical analysis produces similar results that confirm the causal relationship between drought and civil war outbreak. This calls to attention the need for further international cooperation in assisting developing nations to develop infrastructure for the sustainable management of water resources.

Understanding this history and formation conditions further allow us to make theoretical predictions for the formation of other double compact objects with one or two black hole components and assess the detectability of such systems by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers. In this paper we summarize our group's body of work in the past few years and we place our conclusions and current understanding in the framework of other work in this area of astrophysical research.

description: The recent years have been passed with significant progressions in the utilization of microfluidic technologies for cellular investigations. The aim of microfluidics is to mimic small-scale body environment with features like optical transparency. Microfluidics can screen and monitor different cell types during culture and study cell function in response to stimuli in a fully controlled environment. No matter how the microfluidic environment is similar to in vivo environment, it is not possible to fully investigate stem cells behavior in response to stimuli during cell proliferation and differentiation. Researchers have used stem cells in different fields from fundamental researches to clinical applications. Many cells in the body possess particular functions, but stem cells do not have a specific task and can turn into almost any type of cells. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability of changing into specific cells that can be essential for the body. Researchers and physicians are interested in stem cells to use them in testing the function of the body’s systems and solving their complications. This review discusses the recent advances in utilizing microfluidic techniques for the analysis of stem cells, and mentions the advantages and disadvantages of using microfluidic technology for stem cell research.

description: We have determined the relation between the in-medium $ω$ meson mass and quark condensate in the framework of a Nambu Jona-Lasinio model constrained by some recent experimental data on the meson properties in nuclei. In addition to the usual four-quark interactions, we have included eight-quark terms in the Lagrangian. The parameters of this model have been determined using the meson properties in the vacuum as well as in the medium. More particularly, we have constrained both the in-medium pion decay constant to the value measured in experiments on deeply bound pionic atoms and the in-medium $ω$ meson mass to the experimental value obtained either by the TAPS collaboration or by the E325 experiment at KEK. Our results are compared to several scaling laws and in particular to that of Brown and Rho.

The Ethics of Physician Migration and Their Implications for the United States
Creators: name: Bohl, Daniel
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: Currently, the United States trains only three quarters of the physicians it requires to fill its entry level residency positions. The other quarter of residents employed by its hospitals is composed of immigrants who have been trained in other countries. This reliance of our healthcare system on foreign physicians puts a tremendous strain on the healthcare systems of developing nations. At the same time, by replacing American medical school graduates with graduates of foreign schools, the policy prevents a significant number of Americans who desire to practice medicine from doing so. An alarming shortage of physicians by the year 2020 has been forecasted. Discussion of how this shortage will be addressed is long overdue. The options are clear: either the United States can increase its dependence on foreign medical training programs or it can expand its own. It should choose the latter.

I LIMITI DEL SOGGETTIVISMO ESTETICO. SUI PRINCIPÎ DEL GUSTO DI ARCHIBALD ALISON
Creators: name: GATTI, ANDREA
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2014
Subjects: Storia della filosofia; Estetica moderna; XVIII secolo; Archibald Alison; Gusto

description: Archibald Alison’s Essays on the Nature and Principles of Taste (1790) remained long neglected after their first release. They were rediscovered only twenty years later, thanks to a review by Francis Jeffrey published on the «Edinburgh Review» in 1811, which suddenly improved their fame and circulation. This paper aims at pointing out retrospectively the reasons for that prolonged indifference, considering if and how much Alison’s aesthetic theory and his emotivistic reductionism could sound interesting and acceptable for an eighteenth-century English reader.

description: So-called predatory publishers regularly approach researchers via email to solicit manuscripts and conference papers. With the emphasis on publishing as a measure of academic success still strong it can be easy to give in to temptation and flattery but this can do more harm than good to a future career. looks at whether these publishers are a problem, how to spot a potential problem publisher or conference and the best advice to offer researchers if they are approached.
High school seniors' perceptions of nursing
Creators: name: Grieve, Anna Marguerite
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Declining enrollments in nursing programs, combined with the negative image of nursing as a profession, stimulated the author to investigate the current status of the nursing profession as viewed by a group of senior high school students. Using a questionnaire, subjects were asked to identify those areas they believed nurses to work in, and those job activities nurses performed. As well, they were asked a series of questions related to educational requirements of nurses and whether or not they would consider a nursing career, and, if not, possible reasons for their decision. In the final portion of the questionnaire students responded to statements on occupational image and occupational preference. Findings revealed that students had definite perceptions of nursing. While some of these were accurate, others were not consistent with the nature of the nursing profession today. Results of this study can be used by the nursing profession to plan a suitable advertising campaign with the primary purpose of informing young people about the career opportunities within the nursing profession, as well as dispelling many of the old myths related to the profession. Such efforts will help students perceive of the nursing profession positively. This in turn will encourage more young people to pursue a nursing career and help to alleviate the critical nursing shortage experienced here in North America.

description: The on-going COVID-19 pandemic highlights the severe health risks posed by deep submicron sized airborne viruses and particulates in the spread of infectious diseases. There is an urgent need for the development of efficient, durable and reusable filters for this size range. Here we report the realization of efficient particulate filters using nanowire-based low-density metal foams which combine extremely large surface areas with excellent mechanical properties. The metal foams exhibit outstanding filtration efficiencies (>96.6%) in the PM_{0.3} regime, with potentials for further improvement. Their mechanical stability and light weight, chemical and radiation resistance, ease of cleaning and reuse, and recyclability further make such metal foams promising filters for combating COVID-19 and other types of airborne particulates.

Uncertainty and Climate Change Intervention: An Introduction to the Economics of Climate Change
Creators: name: Park, Jisung
Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: The pressing reality of global climate change has resulted in a great deal of focus on proposals for market-based government intervention. Currently proposed intervention can take one of two forms: either it can achieve reductions in carbon emissions by controlling the quantity of allowable carbon emissions or it can do the same by setting the price of carbon emissions. If we approach the issue of climate change as a classic externality problem and assume perfect information, economic theory suggests that an optimal level of carbon abatement can be achieved by either method. But, with the issue of climate change we are dealing with a host of unknown costs and benefits of abatement, and we cannot be sure that either method will be efficient. Thus, the role of uncertainty must factor into any policy decision. In this paper, we apply theoretical concepts of informational uncertainty to the issue of climate change. We find that depending on the curvatures of the costs and benefit functions, one type of government intervention may be preferable to the other, with arguments made for each case. Our analysis will highlight the need for further research into the anthropogenic causes and effects of climate change, as well as the need for policymakers to consider the role uncertainty and the precautionary principle play when deciding what sort of government intervention policy to pursue.

Images and Voices of Change: Engaging Local Community in Assessing Impact of Millennium Villages Project in their Lives in Sauri Village, Western Kenya
Creators: name: Nyasimi, Mary

Publisher: name: Consilience
Year: 2020

description: The Earth Institute at Columbia University is implementing a development program in ten countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Referred to as the Millennium Village Project (MVP), the program aims to use a combination of science-based interventions and community participation to transform the livelihoods of African people and ultimately lift them out of extreme poverty. Involvement of local people is a critical ingredient and key processes of empowering them and ensuring the sustainability of MVP. To engage local people in assessing the impact of MVP on their lives, a community led Photovoice project was initiated in the first millennium village-Sauri, Kenya. In this project, local research participants used digital cameras and their own narratives to share their emic view of their changing world. The main objective of this photo essay is to share photographs and narratives from ten local research participants of different ages, educational levels and gender. The photographs and stories indicate that MVP is positively impacting on local people, and it can be used as a monitoring tool for various activities. In addition, the research participants were enthusiastic about Photovoice, and they provided a powerful internal visual interpretation of community changes. All the photographs and their stories will be shared in a community Photovoice exhibition later this year.

description: We propose a method to exploit high finesse optical resonators for light assisted coherent manipulation of atomic ensembles, overcoming the limit imposed by the finite response time of the cavity. The key element of our scheme is to rapidly switch the interaction between the atoms and the cavity field with an auxiliary control process as, for example, the light shift induced by an optical beam. The scheme is applicable to many different atomic species, both in trapped and free fall configurations, and can be adopted to control the internal and/or external atomic degrees of freedom. Our method will open new possibilities in cavity-aided atom interferometry and in the preparation of highly non-classical atomic states.

SOGGETTIVITÀ E DESIDERIO IN RENAUD BARBARAS
Creators: name: SANSONETTI, GIULIANO
Publisher: name: Dipartimento di Scienze Umane, Università di Ferrara
Year: 2014
Subjects: Storia della filosofia; Filosofia contemporanea; Soggettività; Fenomenologia; Renaud Barbaras

description: This essay offers an analysis of Renaud Barbaras’s last work, Dynamique de la manifestation (2013), mainly focused on the themes of subjectivity and desire as pivotal moments of his phenomenology of life. Barbaras’s work affords an important reconsideration of Husserl’s phenomenology from the point of view of its fundamental notion: the «a-priori of correlation», according to which, reality is given in a correlative way, that is, in that peculiar relationship between the subject and the world. In Barbaras’s view, this relationship should be intended in a dynamic and non-static way. Subjectivity’s dynamics must counterpart the dynamics of the world. Therefore, to Husserl’s phenomenology of pure «unveiling», Barbaras opposes a phenomenology which conceives the «unveiling» as an action, a moving forward in the world; in this movement, the meaning of reality is not «given», but «built» in the dynamic relationship between the subject and the world. Hence, the absolute necessity of conceiving the subject as movement and desire: two basic concepts very conducive to overrun a persisting Idealistic notion of the self and the conscience.
