Prior consultation and extractivism: evidence from Latin America
Creators: name: Torres, Marcela
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Conflicts between indigenous groups and governments over the control of lands potentially containing valuable minerals and hydrocarbons, are proliferating in Latin America and elsewhere around the world. In 1989, the International Labor Organization granted prior consultation rights to all indigenous peoples living in postcolonial countries. Prior consultation affords indigenous communities the right to be consulted by their governments about any project that could potentially impact their territory. While this right remains unimplemented in most parts of the world, violence between indigenous communities and extractive companies over the control of resource-rich lands during the 2000s commodity boom forced Latin American governments to pass prior consultation legislation. This dissertation looks at two different kinds of indigenous movements. The “anti-extractivist indigenous” attempt to maintain the resources in the subsoil to prevent damage to their environmental resources, and thus oppose any extraction whatsoever. By contrast, the “pro-extractivist indigenous” seek to obtain and maximize their share of the economic benefits derived from resource extraction. By assuming that indigenous struggles over the extractive industry are driven by the desire for negotiation or prohibition, this dissertation asks two important questions. First, why can some indigenous groups either profit form resource extraction or prohibit it while others cannot? Second, how do prior consultation procedures enable—or inhibit—the indigenous from achieving these goals? This research shows that prior consultation procedures-the way they are implemented today-do not allow to express indigenous opposition to extractive projects yet these procedures are used as bargaining tables by some indigenous groups to negotiate extractive resources with the state. Dissertation findings show that prior consultation can foster significant redistribution of resources to politically powerful indigenous peoples. Yet, it is actually detrimental—not helpful— in the fight of anti-extractivist indigenous. This study shows that prior consultation has partially achieved its goal of fostering indigenous political participation in extractive policy as it has enabled highly mobilized pro-extractivist indigenous groups to advance some of their economic demands. Anti-extractivist indigenous groups and demobilized pro-extractivist groups, on the other hand, have not seen their interests advanced through prior consultation. This study contributes to a much better understanding of the goals held by indigenous groups over the extractive industry sector. Likewise, understanding the degree to which the institutionalization of the right to prior consultation has transformed the way indigenous peoples participate in this industry–and the obstacles for participation–has important implications for avoiding violence surrounding mineral and hydrocarbon extraction.

description: We analyse the link between diet diversity, which is a proxy of diet quality and health outcomes measured by body-mass index (BMI) in a representative sample of Kosovar adults using household expenditure micro-data. Building on a household model of health production we devise a two-stage empirical strategy to estimate the antecedents of diet diversity and its effect on BMI. Economic factors and demographic characteristics play an important role in the choice of balanced diets. Results from the BMI analysis support the hypothesis that diet diversity is associated with optimal BMI. One standard deviation increase in diet diversity leads to 2.3% increase in BMI of the underweight individuals and to 1.5% reduction in BMI of the obese individuals. The findings have important implications for food security policies aiming at enhancing the public health in Kosovo.

description: We investigate the effect of hypersonic (> 1 GHz) acoustic phonon wavepackets on electron transport in a semiconductor superlattice. Our quantum mechanical simulations demonstrate that a GHz train of picosecond deformation strain pulses propagating through a superlattice can generate current oscillations whose frequency is several times higher than that of the strain pulse train. The shape and polarity of the calculated current pulses agree well with experimentally measured electric signals. The calculations also explain and accurately reproduce the measured variation of the induced current pulse magnitude with the strain pulse amplitude and applied bias voltage. Our results open a route to developing acoustically-driven semiconductor superlattices as sources of millimetre and sub-millimetre electromagnetic waves.

description: Dust formation in brown dwarf atmospheres is studied by utilising a model for driven turbulence in the mesoscopic scale regime. We apply a pseudo-spectral method where waves are created and superimposed within a limited wavenumber interval. The turbulent kinetic energy distribution follows the Kolmogoroff spectrum which is assumed to be the most likely value. Such superimposed, stochastic waves may occur in a convectively active environment. They cause nucleation fronts and nucleation events and thereby initiate the dust formation process which continues until all condensible material is consumed. Small disturbances are found to have a large impact on the dust forming system. An initially dust-hostile region, which may originally be optically thin, becomes optically thick in a patchy way showing considerable variations in the dust properties during the formation process. The dust appears in lanes and curls as a result of the interaction with waves, i.e. turbulence, which form larger and larger structures with time. Aiming on a physical understanding of the variability of brown dwarfs, related to structure formation in substellar atmospheres, we work out first necessary criteria for small-scale closure models to be applied in macroscopic simulations of dust forming astrophysical systems.

description: We carry out a detailed study of the spectral and the timing properties of the stellar-mass black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during its 2009-10 outburst using RXTE PCA data in the $2.5-25$ keV energy range. Low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are seen in the power density spectrum (PDS). The spectral analysis is done using two types of models: one is the combined disk black body plus power-law model and the other is Transonic flow solution based Two Component Advective Flow (TCAF) model. RXTE PCA was non-operational during 2009 Nov. 16 to 2010 Jan. 18 and thus we study light curve profiles and evolution of hardness ratios using MAXI GSC and Swift BAT data. Based on the evolution of the temporal and the spectral properties of the source during its 2009-10 outburst, we find that the object evolved through the following spectral states: hard, hard-intermediate and soft-intermediate/soft. From the TCAF model fitted spectral analysis, we also estimate the probable mass of the black hole to be in the range of $8.1-11.9$ $M_\odot$, and more precisely, the mass appears to be is $10\pm{1.9}~M_\odot$.

LEARNED MECHANISMS UNDERLYING INTEROCEPTIVE CONTROL OF ENERGY REGULATION IN MALE RATS
Creators: name: Jones, Sabrina
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Previous research shows that rats have the ability to discriminate between cues arising of different levels of food deprivation. However, it is unclear what associative mechanisms underlie this discriminative control and whether or not a similar mechanism underlies the ability to maintain energy homeostasis. The current study sought to clarify the associative mechanism underlying the utilization of state cues, and how this mechanism may become disrupted following consumption of Western diet (WD). In Experiment 1, male rats were pretrained to establish internal cues as either a (a) conditioned modulators, (b) simple excitors, or (c) irrelevant cues in the control of appetitive behavior. Rats were all subsequently trained in a typical feature negative paradigm where both an internal satiety cue and external visual cue predicted when an ambiguous target cue would not be reinforced (i.e. either the internal or external cue could be learned as a negative occasion setter to discriminate between rewarded and nonrewarded sessions). If the mechanisms underlying the use of internal cues in the control of appetite behavior were similar to those underlying the use of typical, external negative occasion setters, learning about the external negative occasion setters should be overshadowed by learning about internal cues. We expected to see only groups that had internal cues pretrained as conditioned modulators to show this overshadowing of the light; instead, we found that satiety cues overshadowed control by external modulators consistently, independent of pretraining history. This complete overshadowing of external modulators by internal cues indicates a similar mechanism underlying their respective roles in appetitive behavior. In Experiment 2, male rats were trained to use either an internal deprivation state or an external visual cue as a negative occasion setter in a typical feature negative paradigm. Once rats discriminated, half of each group was put on WD for 24d. The effect of diet on the ability of rats to use internal or external cues as negative feature stimulus was assessed in a series of probe tests. Findings indicate that internal, relative to external, cues were better able to inhibit responding to an ambiguous cue on nonreinforced trials in intact animals. Despite these baseline differences, internal and external cues were both impaired in a similar manner relative to chow-fed controls. The observed similarities provide evidence that WD-induced impairments in both internal and external control of appetitive behavior may be a result of similar underlying mechanisms. Taken together, Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 provide evidence for an associative mechanism similar to that of a typical negative occasion setter underlying the role of internal cues in the control of energy regulation.

description: We use four waves of panel data from Northern Ethiopia to investigate the link between Food for Work (FFW) participation and the diversity of food consumption and production. Food-based transfer programs have become a standard tool for addressing the problem of chronic food insecurity in developing countries. Such programs have the potential to expand diet diversity if food items provided under FFW are not part of the beneficiaries’ staple diet. By raising effective incomes, cash payments also have the potential to “crowd in” purchases of nutritionally important foods. On the other hand, FFW programs have the potential to undermine dietary diversity by altering the basic crop mix if participation requires households to divert labor away from on-farm production. The net effect is unclear, which we empirically investigate in this study. By employing random effects, fixed effects and difference-indifference estimations, we find that FFW participants had greater dietary diversity compared to non-participants, with an average effect magnitude equivalent to one-fifth of a standard deviation in the food variety score. When items directly provided by the FFW program are excluded from the variety score, the overall effect is statistically weaker, but similar in sign and magnitude, suggesting modest “crowding in” of diet diversity from FFW participation. Findings also reveal that higher intensity of participation in FFW is linked with diversified food consumption. We find no evidence that FFW participation led to changes in production diversity, suggesting that FFW programs may not be competing for labor with on farm production. Findings have relevance for interventions that aim to improve food security and promote dietary quality in low-income populations.

description: First correction to the high-energy asymptotics of the total $e^+e^-$ photoproduction cross section in the electric field of a heavy atom is derived with the exact account of this field. The consideration is based on the use of the quasiclassical electron Green function in an external electric field. The next-to-leading correction to the cross section is discussed. The influence of screening on the Coulomb corrections is examined in the leading approximation. It turns out that the high-energy asymptotics of the corresponding correction is independent of the photon energy. In the region where both produced particles are relativistic, the corrections to the high-energy asymptotics of the electron (positron) spectrum are derived. Our results for the total cross section are in good agreement with experimental data for photon energies down to a few $MeV$. In addition, the corrections to the bremsstrahlung spectrum are obtained from the corresponding results for pair production.

description: In this paper we present the differential emission measures (DEMs) of two sub-A class microflares observed in hard X-rays (HXRs) by the FOXSI-2 sounding rocket experiment, on 2014 December 11. The second FOXSI (Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager) flight was coordinated with instruments Hinode/XRT and SDO/AIA, which provided observations in soft X-rays (SXR) and Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV). This unique dataset offers an unprecedented temperature coverage useful for characterizing the plasma temperature distribution of microflares. By combining data from FOXSI-2, XRT, and AIA, we determined a well-constrained DEM for the microflares. The resulting DEMs peak around 3MK and extend beyond 10MK. The emission measures determined from FOXSI-2 were lower than 10 26cm-5 for temperatures higher than 5MK; faint emission in this range is best measured in HXRs. The coordinated FOXSI-2 observations produce one of the few definitive measurements of the distribution and the amount of plasma above 5MK in microflares. We utilize the multi-thermal DEMs to calculate the amount of thermal energy released during both the microflares as ~ 5.0 x 10 28 ergs for Microflare 1 and ~ 1.6 x 10 28 ergs for Microflare 2. We also show the multi-thermal DEMs provide a more comprehensive thermal energy estimates than isothermal approximation, which systematically underestimates the amount of thermal energy released.

description: We explore several scenarios under which NAFTA preferences for agriculture are rolled back using a systematic heterogeneity general equilibrium (GE) gravity model. In the systematic heterogeneity model, the distribution of productivity within the agricultural sector is linked to land and climate characteristics. The set of agricultural products in which a country is likely to have comparative advantage is then influenced by these characteristics. A country’s production and bilateral trade response to changes in a competitor’s trade costs is thus larger (smaller) for competitors that are more (less) likely to have comparative advantage in a similar set of products. We find that rolling back NAFTA agricultural preferences depresses North America consumer demand for agricultural products and decreases producer competitiveness, both within and outside North America. As a consequence, NAFTA members’ exports decline in North America and globally.

description: Machine learning (ML) systems across many application areas are increasingly demonstrating performance that is beyond that of humans. In response to the proliferation of such models, the field of Explainable AI (XAI) has sought to develop techniques that enhance the transparency and interpretability of machine learning methods. In this work, we consider a question not previously explored within the XAI and ML communities: Given a computational system whose performance exceeds that of its human user, can explainable AI capabilities be leveraged to improve the performance of the human? We study this question in the context of the game of Chess, for which computational game engines that surpass the performance of the average player are widely available. We introduce the Rationale-Generating Algorithm, an automated technique for generating rationales for utility-based computational methods, which we evaluate with a multi-day user study against two baselines. The results show that our approach produces rationales that lead to statistically significant improvement in human task performance, demonstrating that rationales automatically generated from an AI's internal task model can be used not only to explain what the system is doing, but also to instruct the user and ultimately improve their task performance.

description: Searches for HZ production with the Higgs boson decaying into an invisible final state were performed using the data collected by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 188 GeV and 209 GeV. Both hadronic and leptonic final states of the Z boson were analysed. In addition to the search for a heavy Higgs boson, a dedicated search for a light Higgs boson down to 40 GeV/c^2 was performed. No signal was found. Assuming the Standard Model HZ production cross-section, the mass limit for invisibly decaying Higgs bosons is 112.1 GeV/c^2 at 95% confidence level. An interpretation in the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) and in a Majoron model is also given.

description: Results of a descriptive case study performed in the Brazilian Association of Organic Cattle Ranching (ABPO), headquartered in Campo Grande - State of Mato Grosso do Sul, are presented in this article seeking to verify the environmental, economical and social sustainability. We used a semi-structured interview guide performed to the president, directors and associates of ABPO. We also used current and/or old documents of the organization records, searching for its history and actions redeemed in its activity. Data were processed by means of the content analyzing, with dimensions and pre-established categories. The study shows that the ABPO has been developing a broad understanding of sustainability and perceives a multifaceted spectrum of social demands which should be fulfilled. The interviewed have knowledge about sustainability practices, essential in the organic beef cattle production. In addition, they demonstrate that have acquired knowledge about this field of activity because they have been acting in the cattle breeding for some time, as well as they have a concern with the swampland of Mato Grosso do Sul.

description: Rare-earth based lasing action in GaN semiconductor at the telecommunication wavelength of 1.5 micron has been demonstrated at room temperature. We have reported the stimulated emission under the above bandgap excitation from Er doped GaN epilayers prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Using the variable stripe technique, the observation of the stimulated emission has been demonstrated through characteristic features of threshold behavior of emission intensity as functions of pump intensity, excitation length, and spectral linewidth narrowing. Using the variable stripe setup, the optical gain up to 75 cm-1 has been obtained in the GaN:Er epilayers. The near infrared lasing from GaN semiconductor opens up new possibilities for extended functionalities and integration capabilities for optoelectronic devices.

description: We study the rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots. We construct explicitely a series of diagrams made of circles joined together in a tree-like fashion and colored by some special rational functions. We show that this series codes exactly the unwheeled rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots, and that it behaves very simply under branched coverings. Our proof is combinatorial. It uses the results of Wheels and Wheeling and various spaces of diagrams.

A Complete Solution to the Strong CP Problem: a SUSY Extension of the Nelson-Barr Model

description: We present a supersymmetric solution to the strong CP problem based on spontaneous CP violation which simultaneously addresses the affects coming from supersymmetry breaking. The generated CP violating phase is communicated to the quark sector by interacting with a heavy quark a la Nelson-Barr. The Majorana mass of the right handed neutrinos is generated by interactions with the CP violating sector and so does not conserve CP. This gives the neutrino sector a non-trivial CP violating phase which can then generate the baryon asymmetry of the universe through leptogeneis. The problematic phase in the supersymmetry breaking parameters are suppressed by appealing to a particular gauge mediation model which naturally suppresses the phases of the tree-level gluino mass. This suppression plus the fact that in gauge mediation all loop generated flavor and CP violation is of the minimal flavor violation variety allows for a complete and consistent solution to the strong CP problem.

description: There are thousands of actively spoken languages on Earth, but a single visual world. Grounding in this visual world has the potential to bridge the gap between all these languages. Our goal is to use visual grounding to improve unsupervised word mapping between languages. The key idea is to establish a common visual representation between two languages by learning embeddings from unpaired instructional videos narrated in the native language. Given this shared embedding we demonstrate that (i) we can map words between the languages, particularly the 'visual' words; (ii) that the shared embedding provides a good initialization for existing unsupervised text-based word translation techniques, forming the basis for our proposed hybrid visual-text mapping algorithm, MUVE; and (iii) our approach achieves superior performance by addressing the shortcomings of text-based methods -- it is more robust, handles datasets with less commonality, and is applicable to low-resource languages. We apply these methods to translate words from English to French, Korean, and Japanese -- all without any parallel corpora and simply by watching many videos of people speaking while doing things.
