title: Understanding Police Use of Force Encounters in Context: What Encounters Look Like, Circumstances when Officers get Injured, and the Decision Factors and Processes Involved
Creators: name: Hine, Kelly Amy
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Policing
subject: Use of force, Police
subject: Police-citizen encounters

description: As part of their duty, police officers engage with the public. Sometimes these encounters can become dangerous and officers may need to resort to the use of force to contain these situations. Police-citizen encounters that require the use of force are usually dynamic and volatile events that involve high stakes. During such difficult situations, officers need to make difficult decisions about using force. Officers need to decide if force is required, weigh up the potential risk and consequential outcomes, and make decisions about the degree and type of force to use. While policing researchers are gaining insights into the circumstances involving police use of force, less is known about how officers make decisions in these circumstances. Further, most of the use of force literature is informed by US data – hence little is known about police use of force within an Australian context, including the circumstances surrounding decisions to use force. In particular, little is known about the circumstances that pose a risk of injury to officers, and how these circumstances may affect officer decision making. Thus, it remains unclear why officers are using the levels of force that they do, and what decision-making processes are involved during such intense situations.

An Efficient Approach for Cooperative Multi-Agent Learning Problems

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this article, we propose a centralized Multi-Agent Learning framework for learning a policy that models the simultaneous behavior of multiple agents that need to coordinate to solve a certain task. Centralized approaches often suffer from the explosion of an action space that is defined by all possible combinations of individual actions, known as joint actions. Our approach addresses the coordination problem via a sequential abstraction, which overcomes the scalability problems typical to centralized methods. It introduces a meta-agent, called \textit{supervisor}, which abstracts joint actions as sequential assignments of actions to each agent. This sequential abstraction not only simplifies the centralized joint action space but also enhances the framework's scalability and efficiency. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach successfully coordinates agents across a variety of Multi-Agent Learning environments of diverse sizes.

description: The evolution of snakes (Squamata: Serpentes) represents a major transition in squamate reptiles and involves extensive modifications in the body plan. Functional morphology and phylogeny are integrated to discuss adaptive morphological traits in the origin of snakes and in the evolution of the venom-injecting apparatus among lizards, which is convergent with that in snakes. The focus of these analyses is to determine how to best optimize morphological traits on the phylogeny and to use character distribution in terminal taxa to estimate ecological adaptation in ancestral nodes.
      To study the locomotion transition from lizards to snakes, 45 virtual models of the squamate bony labyrinth in the inner ear were reconstructed.  The results show morphological diversifications of the vestibular region among burrowers, generalists and marine swimmers. The vestibule is enlarged in fossorial species, and reduced in marine snakes and the marine lizard Platecarpus coryphaeus. To quantify the morphological differences and provide tractable methods to reconstruct locomotion in ancestral snakes, I performed three-dimensional geometric morphometric analysis of the 45 samples, using six landmarks and 22 semilandmarks. ANOVA tests on the Procrustes coordinates supported differences among fossorial, generalist, and aquatic locomotion categories. Phylogenetic signal was insignificant in the Procrustes coordinates. Using a phylogeny with the 44 extant samples as terminal taxa, I reconstructed shape coordinates of all internal nodes. Reconstructed shape of the vestibular region of key ancestral nodes in snakes preferred a terrestrial origin for crown-group snakes. Morphological proxies used in this study can be applied to stem snakes to estimate locomotion. Methodologically, this study provides a novel approach to resolve the question whether snakes become limbless on land or in the oceans.
      Evolution of the venom-injection apparatus in lizards is discussed, based on new material of Estesia mongoliensis. A total-evidence phylogenetic analysis of anguimorph lizards is performed with 86 anguimorph taxa coded to 435 morphological characters and four genes. The matrix includes eight new morphological characters. The total-evidence phylogeny suggests that Estesia Mongoliensis is a basal monstersaur whose crown groups are Heloderma, the only living venomous lizards. Presence of tooth flanges with venom grooves is recognized as a new monstersaurian synapomorphy in this study. Estesia mongoliensis has venom grooves comparable to extant Heloderma, but has a deeper root-to-tip groove in the caudal tooth carina, revealing morphological variations of lizard venom delivery apparatus that are not recorded in extant species.

description: The number and position of unstable critical curves, as well as the nature of the accretion disk around compact objects, play a fundamental role in their optical appearance. Identifying differences in the optical spectrum of various observed compact objects can help classify them as black holes or black hole mimickers, such as traversable wormholes. Although multiple unstable critical curves have been reported to appear in asymmetric traversable wormholes, in this work we construct symmetric traversable wormholes with multiple unstable critical curves. We propose a general rational redshift function that allows us to trace the number of critical points of the effective potential and determine their nature as maxima or minima. The ray tracing method is used to study the trajectories of massless particles, particularly their behavior near the unstable critical points. Finally, a thin accretion disk model is implemented to analyze the optical appearance of the solution.

description: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is considered as one of the principal causes of death in the world. Over recent years, this field of study has attracted researchers' attention to investigate heart sounds' patterns for disease diagnostics. In this study, an approach is proposed for normal/abnormal heart sound classification on the Physionet challenge 2016 dataset. For the first time, a fixed-length feature vector; called i-vector; is extracted from each heart sound using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features. Afterwards, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) transform and Variational Autoencoder (VAE) are applied on the i-vector to achieve dimension reduction. Eventually, the reduced size vector is fed to Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for classification purpose. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method could achieve a performance improvement of 16% based on Modified Accuracy (MAcc) compared with the baseline system on the Physoinet dataset.

The ideal science teacher: a small-scale study on how science teachers see themselves in the classroom

Subjects: Teaching goals, science teachers, ideal teacher, philosophy of education

description: In educational philosophy and theory there are long debates on the ideal teacher. Some prioritize the cognitive aims of teaching (e.g. providing knowledge, developing critical thinking, etc.), others the social and emotional aims (e.g. disciplining, giving motivations, building relationships with students, etc.), while others yet suggest that all the above should be pursued by any single teacher. Within this debate, there is little talk about science teacher in particular. Are they supposed to worry about whether students just “learned their physics”? Common sense, reinforced by educational policy today, indeed often sees them as mere transmitters of scientific information. But this may not be how they see themselves. This paper will report on a small-scale study that shows that science teachers themselves recognize a multi-dimensional role of their teaching and try to accommodate different educational aims within the science-class.

description: A short-duration production test was undertaken at the Mallik site in Canada’s Mackenzie Delta in April 2007 as part of the JOGMEC/NRCan/Aurora Mallik 2007 Gas Hydrate Production Research Well Program. Reservoir stimulation was achieved by depressurization of a concentrated gas hydrate interval between 1093 and 1105m (RKB). Geologic and porous media conditions of the production interval have been quantified by geophysical studies undertaken in 2007 and geophysical and core studies undertaken by previous international partnerships in 1998 and 2002. These investigations have documented that the production interval consists of a sand-dominated succession with occasional silty sand interbeds. Gas hydrate occurs mainly within the sediment pore spaces, with concentrations ranging between 50-90%. Laboratory experiments conducted on reconstituted core samples have quantified the effects of pore water salinity and porous media conditions on pressure-temperature stability, suggesting that the partition between gas hydrate stability and instability should be considered as a phase boundary envelope or zone, rather than a discrete threshold. Strength testing on natural core samples has documented the dramatic changes in physical properties following gas hydrate dissociation, with sediments containing no hydrate behaving as unconsolidated sands. While operational problems limited the duration of the production test, a vigorous reservoir response to pressure draw down was observed with increasing gas flow during the testing period. We interpret that pressure temperature (P-T) conditions within the test zone were close to the gas hydrate phase equilibrium threshold, with dissociation initiated at 10 MPa bottomhole pressure (BHP), approximately 1 MPa below in situ conditions. The observation of an increase in production rates at approximately 8.2 MPa BHP may be consistent with the notion of an indistinct gas hydrate stability threshold, with rates increasing as P-T conditions traverse the phase boundary envelope. Significant sand inflow to the well during the test is interpreted to result from the loss of sediment strength during gas hydrate dissociation, with the sediment behaving as a gasified slurry. The increase in gas production rates during the final hours of the test may result from non-uniform gas hydrate dissociation and be affected by accelerated dissociation along water filled natural fractures or fine-scale geologic heterogeneities. These may initiate worm hole or high permeability conduits in association with sand production.

This transition must be attended by reflexive approach to implement new training program and evaluate its effects. This approach is carried out through a survey conducted with two engineering student classes and aims to identify and analyze their perceptions regarding three training aspects: the pedagogical, human and socio-technological. The research’ results will be invested to emphasize guidelines of actions to be taken if necessary. This article focuses on student-engineer commitment’ degree and on motivational sources that new training program would promote or not.

description: Up to linear transformations, we obtain a classification of permutation polynomials (PPs) of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ with $r>3$. By [J. Number Theory 176 (2017) 466-66], a polynomial $f$ of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ is exceptional if and only if $f-f(0)$ is a linearized PP. So it suffices to search for non-exceptional PPs of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$, which exist only when $r\leqslant9$ by a previous result. This can be exhausted by the SageMath software running on a personal computer. To facilitate the computation, some requirements after linear transformations and explicit equations by Hermite's criterion are provided for the polynomial coefficients. The main result is that a non-exceptional PP $f$ of degree $8$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$ (with $r>3$) exists if and only if $r\in\{4,5,6\}$, and such $f$ is explicitly listed up to linear transformations.

description: Source coding is the canonical problem of data compression in information theory. In a locally encodable source coding, each compressed bit depends on only few bits of the input. In this paper, we show that a recently popular model of semi-supervised clustering is equivalent to locally encodable source coding. In this model, the task is to perform multiclass labeling of unlabeled elements. At the beginning, we can ask in parallel a set of simple queries to an oracle who provides (possibly erroneous) binary answers to the queries. The queries cannot involve more than two (or a fixed constant number of) elements. Now the labeling of all the elements (or clustering) must be performed based on the noisy query answers. The goal is to recover all the correct labelings while minimizing the number of such queries. The equivalence to locally encodable source codes leads us to find lower bounds on the number of queries required in a variety of scenarios. We provide querying schemes based on pairwise `same cluster' queries - and pairwise AND queries and show provable performance guarantees for each of the schemes.

description: Expansion dynamics of the Universe is one of the important subjects in modern cosmology. The dark energy equation of state determines this dynamics so that the Universe is in an accelerating phase. However, the dark matter can also affect the accelerated expansion of the Universe through its equation of state. In the present work, we explore the expansion dynamics of the Universe in the presence of dark matter pressure. In this regard, applying the dark matter equation of state from the observational data related to the rotational curves of galaxies, we calculate the evolution of dark matter density. Moreover, the Hubble parameter, history of scale factor, luminosity distance, and deceleration parameter are studied while the dark matter pressure is taken into account. Our results verify that the dark matter pressure leads to the higher values of the Hubble parameter at each redshift and the expansion of the Universe grows due to the DM pressure.

description: In this article, we tried to study the use of a Serious Game (SG) at the end of an entrepreneurship course, where understanding how a company works can’t be complete without trying to simulate what is like to be an entrepreneur in real life. The SG makes it possible to; apply concepts acquired in class, in a virtual environment, while eliminating the risk factor. A field survey was conducted to determine the profile of students, their predispositions to use the SG and the influence of the game on the engagement of students in their entrepreneurship learning. This study discusses the results obtained as well as the possibility of adopting Serious Games as a learning tool.

description: The last decades saw dramatic progress in brain research. These advances were often buttressed by probing single variables to make circumscribed discoveries, typically through null hypothesis significance testing. New ways for generating massive data fueled tension between the traditional methodology, used to infer statistically relevant effects in carefully-chosen variables, and pattern-learning algorithms, used to identify predictive signatures by searching through abundant information. In this article, we detail the antagonistic philosophies behind two quantitative approaches: certifying robust effects in understandable variables, and evaluating how accurately a built model can forecast future outcomes. We discourage choosing analysis tools via categories like 'statistics' or 'machine learning'. Rather, to establish reproducible knowledge about the brain, we advocate prioritizing tools in view of the core motivation of each quantitative analysis: aiming towards mechanistic insight, or optimizing predictive accuracy.

description: Let $E$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet determined by a set of affine mappings $(f_{ij})_{(i,j)\in G}$ and $μ$ a self-affine measure on $E$ associated with a probability vector $(p_{ij})_{(i,j)\in G}$. We prove that, for every $r\in(0,\infty)$, the upper and lower quantization coefficient are always positive and finite in its exact quantization dimension $s_r$. As a consequence, the $k$th quantization error for $μ$ of order $r$ is of the same order as $k^{-\frac{1}{s_r}}$. In sharp contrast to the Hausdorff measure for Bedford-McMullen carpets, our result is independent of the horizontal fibres of the carpets.

description: In this paper we explore autonomy in the specific context of mathematics and science education at schools (9 and 10 years old students). We study how teachers consider the articulation between the development of their students' autonomy and the use of digital resources. Based on interviews with teachers, we seek to identify which digital resources and concepts of autonomy are at stake in their documentational work.

description: Η διπλωματική εργασία με τίτλο Αποδελτίωση και κριτική αποτίμηση του περιοδικού Νέος Νουμάς (1949-952) αποσκοπεί στην ανάδειξη της συμβολής του περιοδικού στα νεοελληνικά γράμματα. Το περιοδικό αποτέλεσε σημαντικό ορόσημο στην ιστορία της νεοελληνικής λογοτεχνίας, προωθώντας τη χρήση της δημοτικής γλώσσας, την καλλιέργεια της κριτικής σκέψης και την υποστήριξη της πνευματικής ανεξαρτησίας. Μέσα από τις σελίδες του, συνέβαλε στην ανανέωση της λογοτεχνίας και την ανάδειξη νέων ταλέντων. Παρά τη σύντομη πορεία του, η οποία επηρεάστηκε από την πολιτική αστάθεια και τις ιδεολογικές συγκρούσεις της εποχής, η επίδρασή του υπήρξε ανεκτίμητη. Με την προώθηση της δημοτικής γλώσσας, της κριτικής σκέψης και της ανεξαρτησίας, συνέβαλε στην ανανέωση της λογοτεχνικής σκηνής και στην ανάδειξη νέων ταλέντων. Μέσω της ανάλυσης της διάρκειας κυκλοφορίας και της τακτικότητας των εκδόσεων, θα αποτιμηθεί η σταθερότητα και η ανθεκτικότητα του περιοδικού στις συνθήκες της εποχής Παρόλα αυτά, το περιοδικό παραμένει μια σημαντική μαρτυρία για την πνευματική ζωή της Ελλάδας της μεταπολεμικής περιόδου και αποτελεί αντικείμενο μελέτης για τους ιστορικούς της λογοτεχνίας.
description: The dissertation titled Indexing and Critical Assessment of the Magazine Neos Noumas (1949–1952) aims to highlight the magazine’s contribution to modern Greek letters. Neos Noumas was a significant milestone in the history of modern Greek literature, promoting the use of the demotic language, fostering critical thinking, and advocating for intellectual independence. Through its pages, it contributed to the renewal of literature and the emergence of new talents. Despite its brief lifespan—shaped by the political instability and ideological conflicts of the time—its impact was invaluable. By championing the demotic language, critical thought, and independence, the magazine played a crucial role in revitalizing the literary scene and elevating new voices. By analyzing the duration of its circulation and the regularity of its issues, this study will assess the magazine’s stability and resilience in the face of contemporary challenges. Nevertheless, Neos Noumas remains a significant testimony to Greece’s intellectual life in the postwar period and continues to be a subject of study for literary historians.

description: Connectivity and connectedness are nonadditive geometric functionals on the set of pore scale structures. They determine transport of mass, volume or momentum in porous media, because without connectivity there cannot be transport. Percolativity of porous media is introduced here as a geometric descriptor of connectivity, that can be computed from the pore scale and persists to the macroscale through a suitable upscaling limit. It is a measure that combines local percolation probabilities with a probability density of ratios of eigenvalues of the tensor of local percolating directions. Percolativity enters directly into generalized effective medium approximations. Predictions from these generalized effective medium approximations are found to be compatible with apparently anisotropic Archie correlations observed in experiment.

description: Since the adoption of the Licence, Master, Doctorat (LMD) formula in the Moroccan higher education system, the majority of training institutions have included in their curriculum courses related to corporate culture and entrepreneurship. This kind of new course has created a lot of difficulties among teachers to teach entrepreneurship. Our goal in the present work is to propose a teaching approach to entrepreneurship that is a result of our experience in the supervision of this course. The debate around teaching entrepreneurship started twenty years ago. The research community in the field of education is divided in two currents. The first include those who think that entrepreneurship can’t be taught. The second category is who believe in the possibility of teaching it our approach adopts two principle: (a) The one of the didacticians who stipulate that all knowledge diffused in society (be it a practice or science) can be taught provided that it goes through a didactic transposition and (b) that of experiential learning based on situations close to skills to develop.

description: Pressure drawdown tests were conducted using Schlumberger’s Modular Formation Dynamics Tester™ (MDT) wireline tool in the Mallik methane hydrate (MH) reservoirs in February 2002 as well as in the Mount Elbert (Alaska) MH reservoirs in February 2007, while a production test was conducted applying a depressurization method in one of the Mallik MH reservoirs in April 2007. All of these tests aimed at measuring production and bottomhole pressure (BHP) responses by reducing BHP below the MH stability pressure to estimate reservoir properties such as permeability and MH dissociation radius. We attempted to analyze the results of these tests through history matching using the numerical simulator (MH21-HYDRES) coded especially for gas hydrate reservoirs. Although the magnitude of depressurization and the total duration spent for these tests were almost identical to each other, the simulation studies revealed that there existed significant differences in what could be inferred and could not be inferred from test results between a MDT test and a production test. The simulation studies mainly clarified that (1) the MDT tests were useful to estimate initial effective permeability in the presence of MH, (2) when BHP is reduced below the MH stability pressure at MDT tests, the pressure and temperature responses were significantly influenced by the wellbore storage erasing all the important data such as those indicating a radius of MH dissociation and effective permeability after partial MH dissociation, and (3) history matching of production tests tended to result in multiple solutions unless establishing steady flow conditions. This paper presents the results of history matching for the typical MDT and production tests conducted in Mallik and Alaska MH reservoirs. This paper also discusses the parameters reliably estimated through MDT and production tests, which should provide many suggestions on future designs and analyses of short-term tests for MH reservoirs.

description: In 1999 V. Ivanov and S. Kerov observed that structure constants of algebras of conjugacy classes of symmetric groups $S_n$ admit a stabilization (in a non-obvious sense) as $n\to \infty$. We extend their construction to a class of pairs of groups $G\supset K$ and algebras of conjugacy classes of $G$ with respect to $K$. In our basic example $G$ is a product of symmetric groups, $G=S_n \times S_n$, $K$ is the diagonal subgroup $S_n$.

description: This paper presents the results of an exploratory study conducted in September 2018 in France carried out as part of a Bac-3 and Bac + 3 project. The goal of the study is to assess the difficulties and understanding of high school and first-year students about chemical transformation and more specific the ability to convert particulate pictures into the symbolic representation. A questionnaire was developed and given to hundreds of high school students and 120 university students. The questionnaire consisted in several parts; the questions asked relate mainly about the modelling process in chemistry as well as the attitude of students going from a semiotic register to another taking into account the macroscopic-microscopic duality of chemistry.
