title: The Intuition of Knowing: Its Biological Function and Natural Triggering-Conditions
Creators: name: Fox, Nathan Josephe
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Over the last hundred years, competing and incompatible positions in relation to basic problems of knowledge and the use of the verb ‘to know’ have multiplied; and the prospect of a consensus solution emerging with respect to any of the problems has not seemed particularly good. We have a Gordian knot. Even so, I suggest that we also have a way to cut it. This will involve identifying why the cognitive mechanism that produces our intuitions of knowing evolved and was maintained (by natural selection), i.e., identifying the ‘teleonomic function’ of that cognitive mechanism. Also, it will involve predicting, on the basis of this teleonomic function, the triggering-conditions of these natural knowledge intuitions. In this thesis, I develop a general theory of the origin, function and triggering-conditions of knowledge intuitions that will allow us to cut that knot. That theory follows basic biological theory (including that which pertains to natural altruism) and also signal detection theory. My theory identifies a number of different circumstances under which the triggering-conditions of knowledge intuitions are different. Strikingly, these different circumstances (and their associated triggering-conditions) map onto the different competing and incompatible epistemological positions to which I referred. This suggests that these positions are all correct within the boundaries of one of the circumstances that my theory identifies; and that the Gordian knot is largely the result of epistemologists claiming universal applicability of a theory that in fact only applies under particular circumstances. We cut the knot by specifying the different circumstances under which each of the different epistemological positions will hold, and the reason we should expect it to hold in just these circumstances, in light of the teleonomic function of knowledge intuitions.

Quantum State Optimization and Computational Pathway Evaluation for Gate-Model Quantum Computers

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A computational problem fed into a gate-model quantum computer identifies an objective function with a particular computational pathway (objective function connectivity). The solution of the computational problem involves identifying a target objective function value that is the subject to be reached. A bottleneck in a gate-model quantum computer is the requirement of several rounds of quantum state preparations, high-cost run sequences, and multiple rounds of measurements to determine a target (optimal) state of the quantum computer that achieves the target objective function value. Here, we define a method for optimal quantum state determination and computational path evaluation for gate-model quantum computers. We prove a state determination method that finds a target system state for a quantum computer at a given target objective function value. The computational pathway evaluation procedure sets the connectivity of the objective function in the target system state on a fixed hardware architecture of the quantum computer. The proposed solution evolves the target system state without requiring the preparation of intermediate states between the initial and target states of the quantum computer. Our method avoids high-cost system state preparations and expensive running procedures and measurement apparatuses in gate-model quantum computers. The results are convenient for gate-model quantum computations and the near-term quantum devices of the quantum Internet.

description: Given the widely available online customer ratings on products, the individual-level rating prediction and clustering of customers and products are increasingly important for sellers to create targeting strategies for expanding the customer base and improving product ratings. However, the massive missing data problem is a significant challenge for modeling online product ratings. To address this issue, we propose a new co-clustering methodology based on a bipartite network modeling of large-scale ordinal product ratings. Our method extends existing co-clustering methods by incorporating covariates and ordinal ratings in the model-based co-clustering of a weighted bipartite network. We devise an efficient variational EM algorithm for model estimation. A simulation study demonstrates that our methodology is scalable for modeling large datasets and provides accurate estimation and clustering results. We further show that our model can successfully identify different groups of customers and products with meaningful interpretations and achieve promising predictive performance in a real application for customer targeting.

description: We numerically investigate non-Abelian braiding dynamics of vortices in two-dimensional topological superconductors, such as $s$-wave superconductors with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Majorana zero modes (MZMs) hosted by the vortices constitute a topological qubit, which offers a fundamental building block of topological quantum computation. As the MZMs are protected by $\mathbb{Z}_2$ invariant, however, the Majorana qubit and quantum gate operations may be sensitive to intrinsic decoherence caused by quasiparticle interference. Numerically simulating the time-dependent Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation without assuming ${\it a \ priori}$ existence of MZMs, we examine quantum noises on the unitary operators of non-abelian braiding dynamics due to interactions with neighboring MZMs and other quasiparticle states. We demonstrate that after the interchange of two vortices, the lowest vortex-bound states accumulate the geometric phase $π/2$, and errors stemming from dynamical phases are negligibly small, irrespective of interactions of MZMs. Furthermore, we numerically simulate the braiding dynamics of four vortices in two-dimensional topological superconductors, and discuss an optimal braiding condition for realizing the high performance of non-Abelian statistics and quantum gates operations of Majorana-based qubits.

description: Die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels geben neue Rahmenbedingungen vor und stellen urbane Strukturen vor neue Herausforderungen. Kopenhagen, eine der führenden Städte im Bereich Nachhaltigkeit und Umweltbewusstsein, hatte in den letzten Jahren mit den Folgen von unvorhersehbaren Regenfällen zu kämpfen. Ausgehend von dieser Thematik wird in der Diplomarbeit ein neues städtebauliches Konzept präsentiert, welches eine infrastrukturelle Architektur mit dazugehörigem Freiraumkonzept zur Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Klimawandel und widerstandsfähiger Architektur darstellt. Anhand einer städtebaulichen Neuinterpretation von 'Papirorn' in Kopenhagen, wird im Rahmen eines urbanen Masterplans aufgezeigt, wie die Potentiale dieser künstlich angelegten Insel genutzt werden können und ein ehemaliges Industriegebiet zu einem architektonischen Gesamtkonzept zur Wissensforschung und -vermittlung, aktiver Beteiligung und interdisziplinärem Austausch zur Thematik Klimawandel und widerstandsfähiger Architektur gewandelt werden könnte. Der Fokus auf Nachhaltigkeit visualisiert nicht nur Herausforderungen sondern definiert auch städtebauliche Maßnahmen und Potentiale, die in einem urbanen Masterplan visualisiert werden und als Modell für die Städteplanung dienen.
description: The effects of climate change set new conditions and create new challenges for urban structures. This thesis introduces a new urban concept presenting an infrastructural architecture and integrated public space concept, which deals with the topics of climate change and resilient architecture. Copenhagen, one of the leading cities in terms of sustainability and environmental awareness, recently had to deal with the consequences of prolonged periods of torrential rainfall. An urban reinterpretation of Papiroen, a centrally located Island in the Inner Harbour of Copenhagen, emphasizes the potential of a former industrial area to play an important role in understanding how to cope with changing conditions by introducing a new master- plan. Papiroen's new masterplan deals with the transformation of the artificial island to accommodate a concept encouraging the interdisciplinary exchange on the subjects of climate change and resilient architecture through knowledge transfer and increasing environmental awareness. The focus on sustainability thereby supports the development of solutions to be transferred to a broader urban masterplan.

description: Il lavoro parte dalla visione tradizionale degli shock economici come emergente dalle forze naturali o esogeni.Nel prefigurare le possibili cause di future crisi negli anni '80 l'origine del rischio deve essere fatta almeno in parte risalire all'azione umana . Questa è una conseguenza della maggiore interconnessione delle economie occidentali industrializzate , che rendono indispensabile comprendere come ogni giocatore reagisce alle reciproche azioni . Una conseguenza importante è che il rischio riguarda ormai non solo gli eventi imprevisti, ma anche la possibilità di utilizzarli e l'efficacia degli strumenti di politica economica .. The work departs from the traditional view of economic shocks as emerging from natural or exogenous forces. In depicting the possible causes of future crisis during the 80s the origin of risk must at least partly be trace back to human action. This is a consequence of the increased interconnectedness of the Western industrialised economies, which make it crucial to understand how each player reacts to each others actions. A major consequence is that risk now concerns not only unexpected events, but even the possibility to use and the effectiveness of economic policy instruments. JEL: F62, G01, G32

description: This paper provides a case study update on the situation of stateless persons – specifically ajanib and maktumeen Kurds from Syria – and focuses on the forced displacement from their country of origin. It considers the protection regime in place for the many stateless Syrian Kurds now in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as well as what more can be done to protect those seeking a durable solution in a third country. This includes a consideration of UN-facilitated resettlement schemes, such as the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement (VPR) programme to the UK, which presently excludes stateless Syrians at a time when increased numbers from the stateless community are risking travel to Europe by illegal means. Finally, the paper highlights some concerning policy assumptions affecting stateless persons within the present European refugee/asylum context.

description: The present study aimed at estimating the cost involved in production of green tea leaves for small tea growers and income generated thereof in Sonitpur district of Assam. The primary data were collected from 100 small tea growers drawn from fifteen randomly selected villages of two randomly selected blocks of Sonitpur district of Assam by conducting interview of individual respondents. It was observed that total cost of cultivation for lower-small, medium-small and higher-small tea growers was Rs.139339.47, 144767.21 and 152710.68, respectively. The total cost of the three categories of the small tea growers indicated that the total cost varied directly with the land size of small tea growers. The examination of efficiency parameters of tea cultivation indicated that yield (tonne per ha), gross return (Rs. per ha), net return (Rs. per ha), benefit-cost ratio and cost of production of green tea leaves (Rs. per tonne) per ha of tea plantation were 28.59, 483639.68, 338033.80, 3.30 and 16916.39, respectively.

description: We present the phase diagram, the underlying stability and magnetic properties as well as the dynamics of nonlinear solitary wave excitations arising in the distinct phases of a harmonically confined spinor $F=1$ Bose-Einstein condensate. Particularly, it is found that nonlinear excitations in the form of dark-dark-bright solitons exist in the antiferromagnetic and in the easy-axis phase of a spinor gas, being generally unstable in the former while possessing stability intervals in the latter phase. Dark-bright-bright solitons can be realized in the polar and the easy-plane phases as unstable and stable configurations respectively; the latter phase can also feature stable dark-dark-dark solitons. Importantly, the persistence of these types of states upon transitioning, by means of tuning the quadratic Zeeman coefficient from one phase to the other is unravelled. Additionally, the spin-mixing dynamics of stable and unstable matter waves is analyzed, revealing among others the coherent evolution of magnetic dark-bright, nematic dark-bright-bright and dark-dark-dark solitons. Moreover, for the unstable cases unmagnetized or magnetic droplet-like configurations and spin-waves consisting of regular and magnetic solitons are seen to dynamically emerge remaining thereafter robust while propagating for extremely large evolution times. Interestingly, exposing spinorial solitons to finite temperatures, their anti-damping in trap oscillation is showcased. It is found that the latter is suppressed for stronger bright soliton component "fillings". Our investigations pave the wave for a systematic production and analysis involving spin transfer processes of such waveforms which have been recently realized in ultracold experiments.

A Robust Method for the Analysis of Integrated Spectra from Globular Clusters using Lick Indices

description: We define a method for analysis of the integrated spectra of extra-galactic globular clusters that provides more reliable measures of age, metallicity and alpha-element abundance ratio than have so far been achieved. The method involves the simultaneous fitting of up to 25 Lick indices in a chi-squared-fitting technique that maximises the use of the available data. Here we compare three sets of single stellar population (SSP) models of Lick indices to the high signal-to-noise, integrated spectra of 20 Galactic globular clusters. The ages, [Fe/H] and alpha-element abundance ratios derived from the SSP models are compared to the results of resolved stellar population studies from the literature. We find good consistency with the published values, with an agreement of better than 0.1 dex in all three derived parameters. The technique allows identification of abundance ratio anomalies, such as the known nitrogen over-abundance in Galactic globular clusters, and the presence of anomalous horizontal-branch morphologies. It also minimises the impact on the derived parameters of imperfect calibration to the Lick system, and reduction errors in general. The method defined in this work is therefore robust with respect to many of the difficulties that plague the application of SSP models in general, and is, consequently, well suited to the study of extra-galactic globular cluster systems.

title: Producing Malaria Indicators Through District Health Information Software (DHIS2): Practices, Processes And Challenges In Kenya
Creators: name: Okello, George Awuor
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Globally there is increasing interest in malaria indicators produced through routine information systems. Deficiencies in routine health information systems in many malaria endemic countries are well recognized and interventions such as the computerization of District Health Information Systems have been implemented to improve data quality, demand and use. However, little is known about the micro-practices and processes that shape routine malaria data generation at the frontline where these data are collected and reported. Using an ethnographic approach, this thesis critically examined how data for constructing malaria indicators are collected and reported through the District Health Information Software (DHIS2) in Kenya. The study was conducted over 18-months in four frontline health facilities and two sub-county health records offices. Data collection involved observations, review of tools and data quality audits, interviews and document reviews. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. This study found that malaria indicator data generation at the health facility level was undermined by a range of factors including: understaffing; human resource management challenges; stock-out of essential commodities; poorly designed tools; and unclear/missing instructions for data collection and collation. In response to these challenges, health workers adopted various coping mechanisms such as informal task shifting and role sharing. They also used improvised tools which sustained the data collection process but had varied implications for the outcome of the process. Data quality problems were concealed in aggregated monthly reports. The DHIS2 autocorrected errors and masked data quality problems. Problems were compounded by inadequate data collection support systems such as supervision. Many challenges for malaria data generation were not HMIS or disease specific but reflected wider health system weaknesses. Any interventions seeking to improve routine malaria data generation must therefore look beyond malaria or HMIS initiatives to also include those that address the broader contextual factors that shape malaria data generation.

Airy Distribution Function: From the Area Under a Brownian Excursion to the Maximal Height of Fluctuating Interfaces

description: The Airy distribution function describes the probability distribution of the area under a Brownian excursion over a unit interval. Surprisingly, this function has appeared in a number of seemingly unrelated problems, mostly in computer science and graph theory. In this paper, we show that this distribution also appears in a rather well studied physical system, namely the fluctuating interfaces. We present an exact solution for the distribution P(h_m,L) of the maximal height h_m (measured with respect to the average spatial height) in the steady state of a fluctuating interface in a one dimensional system of size L with both periodic and free boundary conditions. For the periodic case, we show that P(h_m,L)=L^{-1/2}f(h_m L^{-1/2}) for all L where the function f(x) is the Airy distribution function. This result is valid for both the Edwards-Wilkinson and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interfaces. For the free boundary case, the same scaling holds P(h_m,L)=L^{-1/2}F(h_m L^{-1/2}), but the scaling function F(x) is different from that of the periodic case. We compute this scaling function explicitly for the Edwards-Wilkinson interface and call it the F-Airy distribution function. Numerical simulations are in excellent agreement with our analytical results. Our results provide a rather rare exactly solvable case for the distribution of extremum of a set of strongly correlated random variables. Some of these results were announced in a recent Letter [ S.N. Majumdar and A. Comtet, Phys. Rev. Lett., 92, 225501 (2004)].

description: Die vorliegende Literaturarbeit beschäftigt sich mit Fragen rund um die Bewältigung des Übergangs vom Kindergarten in die erste Klasse. Es interessiert, welche Anforderungssituationen beim Übergang zu Stresserleben führen und wie Kinder bei der Bewältigung derselben unterstützt werden können. Zur Beantwortung der Fragen werden insbesondere das transaktionale Stressverarbeitungs- und das Transitionsmodell diskutiert und daraus Ansätze zur Gestaltung der (heil-)pädagogischen Arbeit formuliert. Diese Ansätze wirken dann am effektivsten, wenn sie interdisziplinär auf der Ebene Individuum, der Ebene Kooperation Institutionen und Elternhaus sowie auf der Ebene Institutionen organisiert werden. Die Theorie zeigt, dass es sich beim Übergang um eine Entwicklungsaufgabe und somit um die Bewältigung von Diskontinuitäten handelt. Diskontinuitäten in den Erfahrungen einer Person müssen deshalb nicht allein als Risiko, sondern vielmehr als Chance und daher als Entwicklungsstimulus beurteilt werden.

description: Die Beteiligung von BürgerInnen an Entscheidungsprozessen gewinnt in unserer Gesellschaft zusehends an Bedeutung. Angesichts neuer Herausforderungen in einer immer komplizierter werdenden Gesellschaft (Globalisierung, sozialer Wandel, Technisierung usw.) stellt Partizipation eine Möglichkeit dar, um mit diesen Herausforderungen umzugehen. Mehr noch als in westlichen Ländern bedarf es in Ländern wie der Türkei, die unter dem Deckmantel 'Demokratie' herrschen solcher Konzepte. Forschungen in diesen Ländern können Defizite und Mängel aufdecken und einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Teilhabe an Entscheidungsprozessen bewirken. Im ersten, theoretischen Teil meiner Arbeit gehe ich vorerst auf die Grundlagen, Voraussetzungen und Rahmenbedingungen von Partizipationsprozessen ein. Im zweiten, praktischen Teil meiner Arbeit geht es um konkrete Umsetzungsmaßnahmen am Beispiel der Stadt Diyarbakir in der Türkei.
description: In our society, involvement of citizens is appreciably gaining in importance. With regard to new demands in a society that is constantly becoming more complicated (globalization, social transformation, mechanization, etc.) participation offers a way to cope with these challenges. Even more than in the west, countries like Turkey, which are being reigned under the cloak of 'democracy', are in need of such concepts. Research in these countries may uncover deficits and shortfall and therefore contribute to an improvement of taking part in decision-making. In the first, theoretical part of my thesis, I focus on fundamentals, requirements and underlying conditions of the process of participation. The second, practical part shows concrete examples of application in the city of Diyarbakir in Turkey.

description: Il confronto delle teorie di H.C. Simons ' con quelle di Friedman e Keynes ha portato a confinare il primo per alcune delle questioni dibattute nelle recenti polemiche tra il monetarista e le scuole keynesiane . Il presente articolo spiega che un'analisi più equilibrata delle teorie Simons ' . In particolare , l'autore dà meno importanza alle differenze nella teoria monetaria mentre da più peso a quelli di natura teorica pre - analitica e generale . Questa distinzione è utile quando si tratta di una domanda che apre un profondo abisso tra monetaristi e keynesiani moderni - quello della scelta tra regole fisse e politiche discrezionali . The comparison of H.C. Simons’ theories to those of Friedman and Keynes has resulted in confining the former to some of the issues debated in the recent controversies between the monetarist and the Keynesian schools. The present article demonstrates that a more balanced analysis of Simons’ theories can modify some of the outcomes obtained. In particular, the author gives less importance to differences in monetary theory while placing more weight on those of a pre-analytic and general theoretical nature. This distinction is of use when it comes to a question which drives a deep gulf between modern monetarists and Keynesians - that of the choice between fixed rules and discretionary policies.

La regola monetarista per la politica economica: una critica. (The monetarist policy rule: a critique )
Creators: name: CURRIE, D.

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Monetarism, demand management, monetarist policy rule, Friedman
subject: E13, E52

description: L'articolo concorda con una visone monetaristica della gestione della domanda , e più in particolare con quello che è diventato noto come la regola dei criteri monetaristici - una politica ad anello aperto delle più semplici possibilità di esecuzione . L'autore esamina l'evoluzione di pensiero su questa regola , a partire dalla propria scrittura di Friedman e si muove attraverso il cambiamento di pensiero rappresentato dal aspettative razionali. E ' con forza sostenuto che le argomentazioni teoriche per le politiche monetarie ad anello aperto sono deboli , e che la debolezza pratica di queste politiche sono state in gran parte anticipate dalla letteratura teorica . The paper is concerned with monetarist views on demand management, and more specifically with what has become known as the monetarist policy rule - an open-loop policy of the simplest possible design. The author examines the evolution of thinking on this rule, starting with Friedman’s own writing and moving through the shift in thinking represented by the rational expectations literature. It is forcefully argued that the theoretical arguments for open-loop monetary policies are weak, and that the practical weakness of these policies were in large part anticipated by the theoretical literature.

description: Density functional theory underlies the most successful and widely used numerical methods for electronic structure prediction of solids. However, it has the fundamental shortcoming that the universal density functional is unknown. In addition, the computational result---energy and charge density distribution of the ground state---is useful for electronic properties of solids mostly when reduced to a band structure interpretation based on the Kohn-Sham approach. Here, we demonstrate how machine learning algorithms can help to free density functional theory from these limitations. We study a theory of spinless fermions on a one-dimensional lattice. The density functional is implicitly represented by a neural network, which predicts, besides the ground-state energy and density distribution, density-density correlation functions. At no point do we require a band structure interpretation. The training data, obtained via exact diagonalization, feeds into a learning scheme inspired by active learning, which minimizes the computational costs for data generation. We show that the network results are of high quantitative accuracy and, despite learning on random potentials, capture both symmetry-breaking and topological phase transitions correctly.

description: Il lavoro sostiene che le condizioni politiche ed economiche del dopoguerra hanno portato al rifiuto della politica di autarchia di prima della guerra in favore di un'economia aperta . Tale decisione ha avuto implicazioni non solo per il commercio estero e i pagamenti, ma soprattutto per la struttura stessa del settore industriale italiano . Gli autori mostrano come le prestazioni di questa struttura industriale emergente è stata condizionata dall'andamento dei prezzi delle materie prime importate , e successivamente dei semi - lavorati riguardo ai prezzi ai quali i prodotti finali possono essere venduti nei mercati di esportazione . Questi cosiddetti termini industriali di scambio si combinano con le spiegazioni di periodo di crescita del dopoguerra già esistenti che non hanno a che fare di "miracoli " per essere spiegati. The work argues that post-war political and economic conditions led to the rejection of the pre-war policy of autarchy in favour of an open economy. This decision had implications not only for external trade and payments, but more importantly for the very structure of the Italian industrial sector. The authors show how the performance of this emerging industrial structure was conditioned by the performance of the prices of imported raw material, and subsequently semi-manufactured industrial inputs and the prices at which the final products could be sold in export markets. This so-called industrial terms of trade is combined with the previously existing explanations of post-war growth period that does not have to rely on “miracles” as explanation. JEL: F10, N34, O14

description: Nelle osservazioni dell'economia mentre si muoveva verso il grande crollo dell'inverno del 1932-33 ,sono rivelati gli elementi di ciò che accade quando il sistema di mercato si rompe . Il lavoro esamina gli interventi di successo degli anni 1960 e '70 , in dettaglio come l'incoerenza può essere limitata e una parvenza di coerenza imposta . L'autore sostiene che, anche se i processi che producono deflazione del debito e sovraindebitamento sono caratteristiche persistenti di economie capitaliste , il risultato effettivo di questi processi nel comportamento osservabile dipende dal contesto istituzionale e la forza di interventi politici . In the observations of the economy as it moved towards the great collapse of the winter of 1932-33, the elements of what happens when the market system breaks down are revealed. The work looks at the successful interventions of the 1960s and 70s, detailing how incoherence can be constrained and a semblance of coherence imposed. The author argues that although the processes that make for debt deflations and over-indebtedness are persistent characteristics of capitalist economies, the actual result of these processes in observable behaviour depends upon the institutional context and the force of policy interventions. Moreover, economic administration cannot be reduced to a simple routine. JEL: F34, E61
