description: Purity Culture is the term used for the Evangelical movement that attempts to promote a biblical view of purity by promoting virginity before marriage, often using tools such as purity pledges, purity rings, and events such as purity balls. Studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between purity culture and the role of sexual shame. Sexual shame can negatively affect one's sexuality. This dissertation is a mixed methods parallel design study to explore the relationship between purity culture and sexual shame. The overarching research question is: what is the relationship between purity culture and sexual shame? This is one of the only known studies on this topic. The dissertation included two studies – a quantitative study (n = 315) and a qualitative study (n = 27). The first study used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine multiple pathways associated with purity culture and sexual shame. The second study explored the link between purity culture and sexual shame using qualitative interviews. In study 1, no relationship was found between purity culture and sexual shame. However, we did find that religiosity mediated the relationship between purity culture beliefs and sexual shame. In study 2, all participants shared their experiences with purity culture and the resulting sexual shame. We found that participants struggled with initiating intimate relationships and participating in intimate relationships. Additionally, all participants were either in the process of deprogramming from purity culture or had already deprogrammed from purity culture. Implications of this dissertation are crucial due to the impact of purity culture and sexual shame on intimate relationships and mental health. Future research should further explore the relationship between purity culture and sexual shame, further explore the role of deprogramming, and look at if time spent deprogrammed from purity culture influences the level and severity of sexual shame.

description: Fraud (swindling money, property, or authority by fictionizing, counterfeiting, forging, or imitating things, or by feigning other persons privately) forms its threats against public security and network security. Anti-fraud is essentially the identification of a person or thing. In this paper, the authors first propose the concept of idology - a systematic and scientific study of identifications of persons and things, and give the definitions of a symmetric identity and an asymmetric identity. Discuss the converting symmetric identities (e.g., fingerprints) to asymmetric identities. Make a comparison between a symmetric identity and an asymmetric identity, and emphasize that symmetric identities cannot guard against inside jobs. Compare asymmetric RFIDs with BFIDs, and point out that a BFID is lightweight, economical, convenient, and environmentalistic, and more suitable for the anti-counterfeiting and source tracing of consumable merchandise such as foods, drugs, and cosmetics. The authors design the structure of a united verification platform for BFIDs and the composition of an identification system, and discuss the wide applications of BFIDs in public security and network security - antiterrorism and dynamic passwords for example.

description: Almheiri, Marolf, Polchinski, and Sully argued that, for a consistent black hole evaporation process, the horizon of a sufficiently old black hole should be replaced by a "firewall" at which an infalling observer burns up, which obviously leads to the violation of the equivalence principle. We propose that once the infalling partner of an outgoing Hawking particle approaches a black hole singularity, it experiences decoherence and the loss of its entanglement with the outgoing Hawking particle. This implies we would no longer need firewalls to avoid the black hole information paradox.

Platform entry strategy

description: We study the phenomenon that the owner of a market platform provides uniform or quality differential products to compete with the branded sellers who sell products on the platform. The platform owner is facing the trade-off of earning profit from the commission fee from the branded seller and getting revenue by selling competing products but facing decreasing revenue sharing from the branded sellers. We investigate the quality-based entry strategies by platform owners. Traditional wisdom suggests that the platform owners prefer to “cherry-pick” high‐demand products with relatively low quality. However, our results show that the platform owner is not always better off by providing the same low-quality product as the branded seller when the commission rate is higher than the threshold. We further show that a low-quality entry strategy will never be optimal if the platform owner offers differentiated products to compete with the branded seller. Our results provide management insights for platform owners choosing product types based on the quality of products already on the market platform and the commission rate. We suggest that the platform owner be careful when using low-quality entry strategies.

description: Als Grundanforderung an eine prospektive Berufsbildung ist festzuhalten, dass schulische und betriebliches Lernen die Forderungen nach beruflicher Handlungskompetenz erfüllen müssen (vgl. Ott, 1995, 50f). In der Vergangenheit wurde berufliche Handlungskompetenz oft gleichgesetzt mit rein fachlicher Qualifikation, vermittelbar durch eng fachbezogene Kenntnisse und Fertigkeiten. Dieser Anspruch ist jedoch für eine zukunftsweisende Berufsbildung nicht mehr hinreichend. Berufliche Handlungskompetenz bedeutet heute neben gestiegenen kognitiven Ansprüchen vor allem eine deutlich ausgeprägte personale und methodische Kompetenz, gekennzeichnet durch Schlüsselqualifikationen, materialer, formaler und sozialer Art, wie z.B. Kommunikations- und Kooperationsfähigkeit, Beherrschung von Lern- und Arbeitstechniken oder Entscheidungs- und Gestaltungsfähigkeit. Konstitutive Faktoren beruflicher Handlungsfähigkeit sind demnach beruflicher Sachverstand, Selbstständigkeit im Denken und Handeln, zwischenmenschliche Kooperation und Sachinteresse als motivationaler Faktor.

description: Two eclipsing binaries in the USco association have recently yielded precise values of masses and radii for 4 low-mass members of the association. Standard evolution models would require these dM4.5 - dM5 stars to have ages which are younger than the ages of more massive stars in the association by factors which appear (in extreme cases) to be as large as ~3. Are the stars in the association therefore non-coeval? We suggest that the answer is No: by incorporating the effects of magnetic inhibition of convective onset, we show that the stars in USco can be restored to coevality provided that the 4 low-mass member stars have vertical surface fields in the range 200 - 700 G. Fields of such magnitude have already been measured on the surface of certain solar-type stars in other young clusters.
How Battered Women in a Pakistani Rural Village of Sohan Experience Domestic Violence in their Marriages

description: This research investigated how battered women in a patriarchal Pakistani rural village of Sohan experienced domestic violence in their marriages. The study sought to answer a number of relevant research questions to understand women’s experiences of domestic violence. This research examined the cultural and structural factors that supported the perpetration of domestic violence in the participants’ marriages. It explored factors that shaped participants’ attitudes towards their own victimisation in their husbands’ homes. An in-depth analysis of the risk factors together with an exploration of obstacles and barriers that deterred women from leaving their abusive marriages was presented. It was found that the participants who exercised limited household decision-making autonomy at home became increasingly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation in their marriages. The findings suggested that a woman indoctrinated with subservient qualities was more likely to accept domestic violence in her marriage. It was further demonstrated that religious beliefs and societal expectations dominated the participants’ thinking about marital sex. Denying sexual access and conflict over reproductive rights were most commonly occurring risk factors in the battered women’s accounts. A woman’s financial dependency and patriarchal child custody laws emerged as the most significant deterrents to leaving an abusive marriage.

description: Assessing the quality of movements for post-stroke patients during the rehabilitation phase is vital given that there is no standard stroke rehabilitation plan for all the patients. In fact, it depends basically on the patient's functional independence and its progress along the rehabilitation sessions. To tackle this challenge and make neurorehabilitation more agile, we propose an automatic assessment pipeline that starts by recognizing patients' movements by means of a shallow deep learning architecture, then measuring the movement quality using jerk measure and related measures. A particularity of this work is that the dataset used is clinically relevant, since it represents movements inspired from Fugl-Meyer a well common upper-limb clinical stroke assessment scale for stroke patients. We show that it is possible to detect the contrast between healthy and patients movements in terms of smoothness, besides achieving conclusions about the patients' progress during the rehabilitation sessions that correspond to the clinicians' findings about each case.

Large bipolarons and oxide superconductivity

description: Large-bipolaron superconductivity is plausible with carrier densities well below those of conventional metals. Bipolarons form when carriers self-trap in pairs. Coherently moving large-bipolarons require extremely large ratios of static to optical dielectric-constants. The mutual Coulomb repulsion of a planar large-bipolarons paired carriers drives it to a four-lobed shape. A phonon-mediated attraction among large-bipolarons propels their condensation into a liquid. This liquids excitations move slowly with a huge effective mass. Excitations concomitant weak scattering by phonons produces a moderate low-temperature dc resistivity that increases linearly with rising temperature. With falling temperature an energy gap opens between large-bipolarons excitations and those of their self-trapped electronic carriers.

Bose-Einstein condensate

description: The creation of a room temperature Bose Einstein Condensate has been the goal of much research since the phenomenon was first experimentally realized in 1995. Currently, polaritons stand out as a particularly viable option to achieve this goal as their low effective mass should in theory allow for a high condensation temperature. One proposed system to realize such a condensate is a semiconductor optical microcavity. In a semiconductor microcavity distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR) are used to trap photons in the cavity, while a direct band gap semiconductor placed in the cavity would allow for the creation of excitons for those photons to couple with. In this work we explore the growth of crystalline monolayer Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS₂) directly onto the DBR to create such a microcavity. Growth of MoS₂ is well studied, however the DBR substrate presents unique challenges as the surface is inconducive for crystalline growth and the substrate itself warps and deteriorates at high temperatures. We then present techniques to overcome these challenges and recipes by which large area growth of monolayer MoS₂ growth on DBR can be attained.

description: We test extensions to the standard cosmological model with weak gravitational lensing tomography using 450 deg$^2$ of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). In these extended cosmologies, which include massive neutrinos, nonzero curvature, evolving dark energy, modified gravity, and running of the scalar spectral index, we also examine the discordance between KiDS and cosmic microwave background measurements from Planck. The discordance between the two datasets is largely unaffected by a more conservative treatment of the lensing systematics and the removal of angular scales most sensitive to nonlinear physics. The only extended cosmology that simultaneously alleviates the discordance with Planck and is at least moderately favored by the data includes evolving dark energy with a time-dependent equation of state (in the form of the $w_0-w_a$ parameterization). In this model, the respective $S_8 = σ_8 \sqrt{Ω_{\rm m}/0.3}$ constraints agree at the $1σ$ level, and there is `substantial concordance' between the KiDS and Planck datasets when accounting for the full parameter space. Moreover, the Planck constraint on the Hubble constant is wider than in LCDM and in agreement with the Riess et al. (2016) direct measurement of $H_0$. The dark energy model is moderately favored as compared to LCDM when combining the KiDS and Planck measurements, and remains moderately favored after including an informative prior on the Hubble constant. In both of these scenarios, marginalized constraints in the $w_0-w_a$ plane are discrepant with a cosmological constant at the $3σ$ level. Moreover, KiDS constrains the sum of neutrino masses to 4.0 eV (95% CL), finds no preference for time or scale dependent modifications to the metric potentials, and is consistent with flatness and no running of the spectral index.

description: The dwarf carbon (dC) star SDSS J112801.67+004034.6 has an unusually high radial velocity, 531$\pm 4$ km s$^{-1}$. We present proper motion and new spectroscopic observations which imply a large Galactic rest frame velocity, 425$\pm 9$ km s$^{-1}$. Several other SDSS dC stars are also inferred to have very high galactocentric velocities, again each based on both high heliocentric radial velocity and also confidently detected proper motions. Extreme velocities and the presence of $C_2$ bands in the spectra of dwarf stars are both rare. Passage near the Galactic center can accelerate stars to such extreme velocities, but the large orbital angular momentum of SDSS J1128 precludes this explanation. Ejection from a supernova in a binary system or disruption of a binary by other stars are possibilities, particularly as dC stars are thought to obtain their photospheric $C_2$ via mass transfer from an evolved companion.

This result is consistent with the bound of computational complexity growth rate and gives a strong evidence for the holographic complexity-action conjecture.

description: Tidal streams in the Milky Way are sensitive probes of the population of dark-matter subhalos predicted in cold-dark-matter (CDM) simulations. We present a new calculus for computing the effect of subhalo fly-bys on cold tidal streams based on the action-angle representation of streams. The heart of this calculus is a line-of-parallel-angle approach that calculates the perturbed distribution function of a given stream segment by undoing the effect of all impacts. This approach allows one to compute the perturbed stream density and track in any coordinate system in minutes for realizations of the subhalo distribution down to 10^5 Msun, accounting for the stream's internal dispersion and overlapping impacts. We study the properties of density and track fluctuations with suites of simulations. The one-dimensional density and track power spectra along the stream trace the subhalo mass function, with higher-mass subhalos producing power only on large scales, while lower mass subhalos cause structure on smaller scales. The time-dependence of impacts and of the evolution of the stream after an impact gives rise to bispectra. We further find that tidal streams are essentially corrugated sheets in the presence of subhalo perturbations: different projections of the track all reflect the same pattern of perturbations, facilitating their observational measurement. We apply this formalism to density data for the Pal 5 stream and make a first rigorous determination of 10^{+11}_{-6} dark-matter subhalos with masses between 3x10^6 and 10^9 Msun within 20 kpc from the Galactic center (corresponding to 1.4^{+1.6}_{-0.9} times the number predicted by CDM-only simulations or to f_{sub}(r<20 kpc) ~ 0.2%). Improved data will allow measurements of the subhalo mass function down to 10^5 Msun, thus definitively testing whether dark matter clumps on the smallest scales relevant for galaxy formation.

description: The displacement of Puerto Rican people due to social, political, and economic factors has created a cycle of disrepair, where migration trends due to precarious economic conditions prevent economic growth. The housing market on the island has also been affected, resulting in more people losing their homes or becoming rent-burdened. This report aims to understand Puerto Rico's socioeconomic situation, taking into consideration the impact of Hurricane Maria. To achieve this, an extensive literature review was conducted using reports from governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations, academic research papers, and news articles. US Census and American Community Survey data were also used to examine trends in the economy, demographics, and housing over the study period. The report is divided into three chapters: pre-storm conditions, storm impact, and post-storm conditions. The research found that Puerto Rico's economic crisis was triggered by changes in tax law that repealed incentives for foreign companies to locate on the island, leading to a shift from manufacturing to a service-based economy. This resulted in younger families migrating due to a lack of alternatives, with Hurricane Maria worsening the situation by damaging the island's physical and economic infrastructure and prompting a population relocation. Recovery efforts have focused on attracting foreign investment rather than addressing preexisting issues, resulting in slow progress. Despite this, there have been some improvements in socioeconomic, demographic, and housing conditions.

hIPPYfire : an inexact Newton-CG method for solving inverse problems governed by PDE forward models

Subjects: Inverse problem

description: This study presents the implementation of hIPPYfire, a library for solving large-scale deterministic inverse problems. These inverse problems are governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) with infinite-dimensional parameter fields that become high-dimensional after discretization. It utilizes the inexact Newton Conjugate Gradient (Newton-CG) method for the computation of the maximum a posteriori (MAP) point. This algorithm exploits the fact that several PDE models of physical systems have a low-dimensional solution manifold. hIPPYfire computes the solution of the inverse problem at a cost independent of the parameter dimension, when measured in terms of the number of linearized PDE solves. However, unlike hIPPYlib (which is built on FEniCS), hIPPYfire uses Firedrake to solve the PDE governing the forward problem. Firedrake presents a unique modular structure that clearly distinguishes between the programming and mathematical aspects of the library—thereby enabling contributions from programmers and mathematicians alike and ensuring its consistent development. The functionalities of hIPPYfire are illustrated by solving an inverse problem that is governed by an elliptic PDE. The major components of the inverse problem, namely the forward problem, misfit, and prior functionals, are clearly defined and used to compute the MAP point using the inexact Newton-CG method. The design of hIPPYfire follows that of hIPPYlib, an extensible Python library for the solution of deterministic and Bayesian inverse problems governed by PDEs.

description: We propose a max-min multi-cell aware regularized zero-forcing (Max-Min MCA-RZF) precoding and power allocation scheme for downlink multi-cell massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. A general correlated channel model is considered, and the adopted channel state information (CSI) acquisition model includes the effects of estimation errors and pilot contamination. We use results from random matrix theory to derive deterministic equivalents for the proposed Max-Min power allocation in the large system limit which solely depend on statistical CSI, but not on individual channel realizations. Our numerical results show that the proposed Max-Min MCA-RZF precoder achieves a substantially higher network-wide minimum rate than the MCA-RZF and the conventional RZF precoders with uniform power allocation, respectively, as well as the conventional RZF precoder with Max-Min power allocation.

Digital media

description: Social and emotional learning (SEL) has been widely regarded as vital in personal development, and digital media can promise a more varied environment and context for students’ SEL growth. Although research in the past decade has shown how digital media-based learning can be effective in some respects of SEL, like relationship, further research is needed to understand how digital media-based learning can enhance learners’ SEL growth in general and thinking skills related to self-awareness and social awareness. This report is a literature review covering a total of 20 peer-reviewed journal articles from 2010 to present. The findings indicate that digital media-based learning can, to some extent, help learners’ SEL development. Features of digital media that help the growth of SEL are analyzed in this report. Implications and recommendations for future studies of SEL through digital media are proposed.

description: We obtained mid-infrared spectra of chondrules, matrix, CAIs and bulk material from primitive type 1-4 chondrites in order to compare them with the dust material in young, forming solar systems and around comets. Our aim is to investigate whether there are similarities between the first processed materials in our early Solar System and protoplanetary disks currently forming around other stars. Chondrule spectra can be divided into two groups. 1) Chondrules dominated by olivine features at 11.3 micron and 10.0 micron. 2) mesostasis rich chondrules that show main features at 10 micron. Bulk ordinary chondrites show similar features to both groups. Fine-grained matrix is divided into three groups. 1) phyllosilicate-rich with a main band at 10 micron, 2) olivine-rich with bands at 11.3 micron and 10 micron, 3) pyroxene rich. Impact shock processed matrix from Murchison (CM2) shows features from phyllosilicate-rich, amorphous and olivine rich material. Astronomical spectra are divided into four groups based on their spectral characteristics, amorphous (group 1), pyroxene rich (group 2), olivine rich (group 3) and complex (group 4). Group 2 is similar to enstatite-rich fine grained material like e.g. Kakangari (K3) matrix. Group 3 and 4 can be explained by a combination of varying concentrations of olivine and mesostasis rich chondrules and fine grained matrix, but also show very good agreement with shock processed material. Comparison of band ratios confirms the similarity with chondritic material e.g. for HD100546, while the inner disk of HD142527 show no sign of chondrule material. Comparison between spectra indicate a general similarity between primitive solar system materials and circumstellar dust and comets.

Escuela Nueva

description: How can technology support teacher training practices in the context of Colombian rural pedagogies? This report will address three main strategies to answer this question. First, it aims to describe the reality and limitations of high-quality education in the Colombian rural context, which includes multidimensional poverty, inequality, the digital divide, and the lack of support and training for teachers in the most segregated and oppressed territories. Second, this report will recognize the community strategies that are working to improve educational quality in rural areas. Notably, it focuses on the most influential pedagogical model in Latin America, Escuela Nueva. Positive perspectives of this model include the adoption of validated academic approaches such as student-centered learning and constructivism. However, critical perspectives highlight some burdens in design, lack of integration with technology, and insufficient teacher training on a large scale. The final part will address how community initiatives with a technological design can help close identified gaps. I will discuss strategies that include strengthening the community of rural teacher practices, compiling a repository of examples and materials, and providing training support for teachers in pedagogical strategies and thematic content for primary schools.
Edge waves in plates with resonators: An elastic analogue of the quantum valley Hall effect

description: We investigate elastic periodic structures characterized by topologically nontrivial bandgaps supporting backscattering suppressed edge waves. These edge waves are topologically protected and are obtained by breaking inversion symmetry within the unit cell. Examples for discrete one and two-dimensional lattices elucidate the concept and illustrate parallels with the quantum valley Hall effect. The concept is implemented on an elastic plate featuring an array of resonators arranged according to a hexagonal topology. The resulting continuous structures have non-trivial bandgaps supporting edge waves at the interface between two media having different topological invariants. The topological properties of the considered configurations are predicted by unit cell and finite strip dispersion analyses. Numerical simulations on finite structures demonstrate edge wave propagation for excitation at frequencies belonging to the bulk bandgaps. The considered plate configurations define a framework for the implementation of topological concepts on continuous elastic structures of potential engineering relevance.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines the perception of auditors on audit quality in Ethiopia. The thesis uses survey as a strategy of inquiry. The survey covers 88 external auditors who have senior auditor and above positions. The response rate is 60%. Results from the analysis indicate that respondents agreeon positive relationship of audit firm size, audit competence, industry specialization and auditor's reputation with audit quality. Tight audit time has a negative relationship with audit quality. Respondents are neutral on the relationship of audit fees, audit tenure and provisions of non-audit services with audit quality. Key words : audit firm size, audit competence, industry Specialization, audit tenure, audit fee provision of non-audit services (NAS), audit reputation, audit time and audit quality

description: General expressions for the electron- and hole-acoustical-phonon deformation potential Hamiltonian (H_{E-DP}) are derived for the case of Ge/Si and Si/Ge core/shell nanowire structures (NWs) with circular cross section. Based on the short-range elastic continuum approach and on derived analytical results, the spatial confined effects on the vector phonon displacement, the phonon dispersion relation and the electron- and hole-phonon scattering amplitudes are analyzed. It is shown that the acoustical vector displacement, phonon frequencies and H_{E-DP} present mixed torsional, axial, and radial components depending on the angular momentum quantum number and phonon wavector under consideration. The treatment shows that bulk group velocities of the constituent materials are renormalized due to the spatial confinement and intrinsic strain at the interface. The role of insulating shell on the phonon dispersion and electron-phonon coupling in Ge/Si and Si/Ge NWs are discussed.
