Policy-Making and Legislating for Reform in Melanesia: why is it so difficult? Cases from Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu

description: All Pacific Island countries have embraced policy and management reform - both in rhetoric and practice – as the central strategy for enhancing economic development and effective governance. Donor support and encouragement for this strategy over the past decade has been substantial. Yet reforms have proven difficult to implement in most countries and only partial success can be claimed. Why is reform so elusive? In the course of two recent consultancies undertaken for the FAO in Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu, Dr Jim Fingleton observed a wide range of obstacles and difficulties, structural and behavioural, that have inhibited the progress of reform. Impediments encountered o absence of a political mandate for change and reform o political and bureaucratic inertia, obstruction and “interference” o lack of coordination and continuity in bureaucratic processes o disconnections between the public and private sectors o unrealistic expectations of consultants and donor interventions, and o inappropriate donor programs and timeframes. While many of these obstacles are common throughout the Pacific region (indeed throughout the developing world), others are specific to individual countries. Dr Fingleton’s identification of these constraints within their national contexts assists our understanding of the inherent difficulties of the reform process. In addition, his close analysis of experience on these projects demonstrates some pointed lessons for domestic reformers, donors and consultants alike. One such lesson, he argues, is that aid projects and consultants cannot be used as a substitute for government policymaking - if reforms are to endure and responsible government is to have any meaning. A second is that, in the absence of functioning political parties and other mechanisms linking the populace to policy, the legitimacy of reform policy can be enhanced best by a wide consultative process. But even that is no guarantee of successful policy implementation: powerful vested interests may still override popularly-endorsed programs.
Factors affecting th local distribution of blue grouse on a breeding range
Creators: name: Elliott, Peter Wayne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The dispersion of a population of blue grouse was analyzed using data from a breeding range on east-central Vancouver Island. During the summers of 1959-1962, the locations, densities, habitat preferences, and behaviour of grouse were studied using several habitats with varying densities of vegetation. A removal experiment was performed in different habitats to test the effect of interaction and selection of habitat on the dispersion of males. All adult males and a few yearling males were territorial, and territories were spaced in a near-uniform pattern. Within a given season, males removed from their territories were seldom replaced by other adults, suggesting that no surplus of non-territorial adults was present. About half of the yearling males were prevented from establishing territory by the presence of adults, and these yearlings were attracted to the vicinity of territorial males. The location of territories by newly-adult males did not depend significantly on the number of territories already present, even though the tendency toward uniform spacing was preserved. Comparison with other studies indicated that territory size and possibly the fraction of yearling males in the population were inversely related to the density of males. Females restricted their movements while on the breeding range but were not territorial. No pair-bonds were observed but females stayed near territorial males prior to nesting. After the hatch, the locations of females and broods bore no relation to each other or to the positions of males. Interaction apparently had no effect on breeding numbers. All birds preferred sparse vegetation to dense. When compared to randomly-chosen points, territories were found more often in areas with sparse vegetation, elevated points, and patches of open ground. Within open habitats, nests were usually located where cover by logs, stumps, and ground-level vegetation was high, and cover by dead plants and litter was low. Broods were associated with moist areas and other areas having heavy cover by vegetation at the ground level. Chicks apparently dispersed widely between their first and second summers. In their third summer, males usually returned within one-half mile of the positions they used as yearlings. Once territories were established, the owners returned to them in succeeding summers. Females one year and older showed a fairly accurate return to their previous locations. The dispersion was described somewhat theoretically by considering the summer population to be grouped into two types of aggregations. The first, found in the earlier half of the summer, was caused by the attraction of yearling males and lone females to territorial males. Later, hens with their broods were the dominant groupings. The spacing, movements, and habitat preferences seemed to be adaptations allowing such populations to rapidly exploit new habitats.

description: We propose an accurate and convenient method to achieve 100\% discrimination of chiral molecules with Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant. By reversely designing the pulse scheme of handed resolution, we obtain the parameters of the three-level Hamiltonians to achieve this goal. For the same initial state, we can completely transfer its population to one energy level for left-handed molecules, while transfer it to another energy level for right-handed molecules. Moreover, this method can be further optimized when errors exist, and it shows that the optimal method are more robust against these errors than the counterdiabatic and original invariant-based shortcut schemes. This provides an effective, accurate, and robust method to distinguish the handedness of molecules.

description: Medical procedures are an essential part of healthcare delivery, and the acquisition of procedural skills is a critical component of medical education. Unfortunately, procedural skill is not evenly distributed among medical providers. Skills may vary within departments or institutions, and across geographic regions, depending on the provider's training and ongoing experience. We present a mixed reality real-time communication system to increase access to procedural skill training and to improve remote emergency assistance. Our system allows a remote expert to guide a local operator through a medical procedure. RGBD cameras capture a volumetric view of the local scene including the patient, the operator, and the medical equipment. The volumetric capture is augmented onto the remote expert's view to allow the expert to spatially guide the local operator using visual and verbal instructions. We evaluated our mixed reality communication system in a study in which experts teach the ultrasound-guided placement of a central venous catheter (CVC) to students in a simulation setting. The study compares state-of-the-art video communication against our system. The results indicate that our system enhances and offers new possibilities for visual communication compared to video teleconference-based training.

description: We study relativistic corrections to exclusive $S$-wave charmonium decays into $ρπ$ and $γπ$ final states. The contribution of relative order $v^2$ and the set of associated higher order corrections are calculated using NRQCD and collinear factorisation framework. Numerical estimates show that the dominant effect is provided by the corrections of relative order $v^2$. The numerical values of these contributions are of the same order as the leading-order ones. These results suggest a scenario where the sum of relativistic and radiative QCD corrections could explain the $ρπ$-puzzle.

Transport Model for the Propagation of Partially-Coherent, Polarization-Gradient Vector Beams

description: In a recent work [20], we predicted and experimentally validated a new physical mechanism for altering the propagation path of a monochromatic beam. Specifically, we showed that by properly tailoring the spatial distribution of the linear state of polarization transverse to the direction of propagation, the beam followed a curved trajectory in free space. Here we extend the model to the partially coherent, polychromatic case by redefining the beam amplitude, phase, and polarization angle as appropriate statistical quantities. In particular, we propose an entirely new definition of linear polarization gradient as an average over the third generalized Stokes parameter in the spatial frequency domain. In the new model, the beam curvature matches that of our previous work in the fully coherent case, but is predicted to gradually vanish as the beam loses coherence and becomes depolarized. The model also clearly predicts, however, that there does not exist a natural mechanism in free space or due to atmospheric turbulence that will cause significant depolarization. Simulated beam trajectories are shown for varying levels of initial partial coherence and for different polarization profiles. A new class of non-diffracting beams is also suggested by way of example. Lastly, as a byproduct of the derivation we generalize a previously known result concerning the free-space propagation of generalized Stokes parameters [13] by showing the result also holds for propagation in inhomogeneous media.

description: The behaviour of supersymmetric D-branes under deformations of the closed string background is studied using world-sheet methods. We explain how lines of marginal stability and obstructions arise from this point of view. We also show why N=2 B-type branes may be obstructed against (cc) perturbations, but why such obstructions do not occur for N=4 superconformal branes at c=6, i.e. for half-supersymmetric D-branes on K3. Our analysis is based on a field theory approach in superspace, as well as on techniques from perturbed conformal field theory.

description: We propose blowup equations for 6d little string theories which generalize Nakajima-Yoshioka's blowup equations for the 4d/5d instanton partition functions on Omega background. We find that unlike the blowup equations for standard SQFTs, we need to sum over auxiliary magnetic fluxes on the blown-up $ \mathbb{P}^1$ for a non-dynamical 2-form gauge field which plays a role in canceling the mixed anomalies of the gauge symmetries. We demonstrate with explicit examples that the blowup equations, when combined with the modular properties, can be solved in order to determine the elliptic genera of little strings.

description: In homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, the relative contributions of different physical mechanisms to the energy cascade can be quantified by an exact decomposition of the energy flux (P. Johnson, Phys. Rev. Lett., 124, 104501 (2020), J. Fluid Mech. 922, A3(2021)). We extend the formalism to the transfer of kinetic helicity across scales, important in the presence of large-scale mirror breaking mechanisms, to identify physical processes resulting in helicity transfer and quantify their contributions to the mean flux in the inertial range. All subfluxes transfer helicity from large to small scales. About 50% of the mean flux is due to the scale-local vortex flattening and vortex twisting. We derive a new exact relation between these effects, similar to the Betchov relation for the energy flux, revealing that the mean contribution of the former is three times larger than that of the latter. Multi-scale effects account for the remaining 50% of the mean flux, with approximate equipartition between multi-scale vortex flattening, twisting and entangling.

Year: 1968

description: Aptitude and achievement data of students detained at the Utah State Industrial School were studied in order to establish occupational aptitude patterns to serve as guidelines in the formation of a vocational educational curriculum at the institution.
Based on scores attained on the California Achievement test, the total group sample was found to be retarded 3.7 years in achievement level, compared to norms established by this instrument. Based on the scores attained on the General Aptitude Test Battery, the total group sample was found to be significantly below the norms established by this instrument in aptitudes relating to intelligence, verbal, numerical, and clerical perception, and above average norms in manual dexterity and form perception.
Occupational aptitude patterns were established from the General Aptitude Test Battery, and it was determined that 60 percent of the student sample group could qualify for seven of these occupational aptitude patterns.
Based on established occupational aptitude patterns and other extenuating factors, the type of vocational education curriculum which was suggested for the Utah State Industrial School was a general vocational curriculum with stress on vocational guidance and a well defined work experience program.

description: As a core task in location-based services (LBS) (e.g., navigation maps), query and point of interest (POI) matching connects users' intent with real-world geographic information. Recently, pre-trained models (PTMs) have made advancements in many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Generic text-based PTMs do not have enough geographic knowledge for query-POI matching. To overcome this limitation, related literature attempts to employ domain-adaptive pre-training based on geo-related corpus. However, a query generally contains mentions of multiple geographic objects, such as nearby roads and regions of interest (ROIs). The geographic context (GC), i.e., these diverse geographic objects and their relationships, is therefore pivotal to retrieving the most relevant POI. Single-modal PTMs can barely make use of the important GC and therefore have limited performance. In this work, we propose a novel query-POI matching method Multi-modal Geographic language model (MGeo), which comprises a geographic encoder and a multi-modal interaction module. MGeo represents GC as a new modality and is able to fully extract multi-modal correlations for accurate query-POI matching. Besides, there is no publicly available benchmark for this topic. In order to facilitate further research, we build a new open-source large-scale benchmark Geographic TExtual Similarity (GeoTES). The POIs come from an open-source geographic information system (GIS). The queries are manually generated by annotators to prevent privacy issues. Compared with several strong baselines, the extensive experiment results and detailed ablation analyses on GeoTES demonstrate that our proposed multi-modal pre-training method can significantly improve the query-POI matching capability of generic PTMs, even when the queries' GC is not provided. Our code and dataset are publicly available at https://github.com/PhantomGrapes/MGeo.

description: Within the two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, we derive a self-consistent thermodynamic potential $Ω$ for a QCD matter in an external magnetic field $B$. To be consistent with Schwinger's renormalization spirit, counter terms with vacuum quark mass are introduced into $Ω$ and then the explicit $B$-dependent parts can be regularized in a cutoff-free way. Following that, explicit expressions of gap equation and magnetization can be consistently obtained according to the standard thermodynamic relations. The formalism is able to reproduce the paramagnetic feature of a QCD matter without ambiguity. For more realistic study, a running coupling constant is also adopted to account for the inverse magnetic catalysis effect. It turns out that the running coupling would greatly suppress magnetization at large $B$ and is important to reproduce the temperature enhancement effect to magnetization. The case with finite baryon chemical potential is also explored: no sign of first-order transition is found by varying $B$ for the running coupling and the de Haas-van Alphen oscillation shows up in the small $B$ region.

description: Species distribution models (SDMs) are tools used by ecologists to help predict the spread of invasive species. Information provided by these models can help direct conservation and biosecurity efforts by highlighting areas likely to contain species of interest. In this study, two models were created to investigate the potential range expansion of Polistes dominula Christ (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in the southern hemisphere. This palearctic species has spread to invade North and South America, South Africa, Australia, and more recently New Zealand. Using the BIOCLIM and MAXENT modelling methods, regions that were suitable for P. dominula were identified based on climate data across four regions in the southern hemisphere. In South America areas of central Chile, eastern Argentina, parts of Uruguay, and southern Brazil were identified as climatically suitable for the establishment of P. dominula. Similarly, southern parts of South Africa and Australia were identified by the model to be suitable as well as much of the North Island and east of the South Island of New Zealand. Based on outputs from both models, significant range expansion by P. dominula is possible across its more southern invaded ranges.
Family stress and childhood accidents : a study of time relationship between stress-producing events within the family and childhood accidents
Creators: name: Boon, Joan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A descriptive study of family stress and childhood accidents was carried out as a group project, under the joint auspices of the Faculty of Medicine and the School of Social Work at The University of British Columbia. It was designed as a behavioral approach to the prevention of childhood accidents. The hypothesis developed and tested was: there is a significant relationship in time, specifically within 30 days, between the occurrence of stress-producing events in the family and accidents resulting in injury to one or more children of that family. A review of the literature indicates that accidents may be symptoms of disorder in the family. In keeping with the holistic view of human behavior, a broad, interrelated systems approach was utilized, integrating the theories of role and ego functioning as a conceptual framework to study the relationship of psychosocial factors to accidents. The population of families of 40 accident-repeater children was derived from an earlier epidemiological study of pedestrian traffic accidents involving children, undertaken by the Departments of Preventive Medicine and Pediatrics, The University of British Columbia. The families were interviewed and material was collected by means of research interviews based on an Interview Survey Guide which was specifically devised. The findings point up that the hypothesis was not validated within the narrow time period of 30 days, and there were strong indications that isolated stress was not related to the occurrence of childhood accidents. However, in some of these families prolonged stressful situations and multiple accidents were found to coincide. Therefore, this is one area which merits a future study - prospective in nature. The challenge to social work in such a significant problem as childhood accidents is very apparent. The study clearly indicates the ways in which social workers as members of community or agency interdisciplinary teams, with their particular knowledge, attitudes and skills can contribute to accident prevention. Their efforts may be developed in the following areas: direct family treatment, family life education, creation and development of community resources, encouragement of community participation and broader public safety education.

description: We present general arguments for the importance, or lack thereof, of the structure in the charge distribution of counterions for counterion-mediated interactions between bounding symmetrically charged surfaces. We show that on the mean field or weak coupling level, the charge quadrupole contributes the lowest order modification to the contact value theorem and thus to the intersurface electrostatic interactions. The image effects are non-existent on the mean-field level even with multipoles. On the strong coupling level the quadrupoles and higher order multipoles contribute additional terms to the interaction free energy only in the presence of dielectric inhomogeneities. Without them, the monopole is the only multipole that contributes to the strong coupling electrostatics. We explore the consequences of these statements in all their generality.

description: (Abridged) We investigate the properties of galaxies between the blue and the red sequence (i.e., the transition region) by combining UV and NIR imaging to HI line observations for a volume-limited sample of nearby galaxies. We confirm the existence of a tight relation between colour and HI-fraction across all the range of colours, although outside the blue cloud this trend becomes gradually weaker. Transition galaxies are divided into two different families, according to their atomic hydrogen content. HI-deficient galaxies are the majority of transition galaxies in our sample. They are found in high density environments and all their properties are consistent with a quenching of the star formation via gas stripping. However, while the migration from the blue cloud is relatively quick (i.e., <=1 Gyr), a longer amount of time (a few Gyr at least) seems required to completely suppress the star formation and reach the red sequence. At all masses, migrating HI-deficient galaxies are mainly disks, implying that the mechanism responsible for today's migration in clusters cannot have played a significant role in the creation of the red sequence at high-redshift. Conversely, HI-normal transition galaxies are a more heterogeneous population. A fraction of these objects show evidence for accretion/minor-merging events suggesting that at least part of the HI reservoir has an external origin. The detailed evolution of such systems is still unclear, but our analysis suggests that some galaxies might have migrated back from the red sequence after accretion events. Our study clearly shows the variety of evolutionary paths leading to the transition region and suggests that the transition galaxies may not be always associated with systems quickly migrating from the blue to the red sequence.

description: In this work, we theoretically assume that a compact object (CO) can have a dark surface so that the CO is simplified to have no emissions and reflections. Considering that the radius of the surface can be located inside or outside the photon region, which is closely related to the shadow curve, we investigate if a CO without an event horizon could produce shadow structures similar to black holes and figure out how different of shadows of COs with and without horizons. In particular, by introducing the (possible) observational photon region, we analytically construct an exact correspondence between the shadow curves with the impact parameters of photons and find that there are indeed several differences for shadows of COs without horizons and black holes. More precisely, We found the shadow curve is still determined by the photon region when the radius of the surface is small enough to retain a whole photon region outside the shell. When only part of the photon region remains, the shadow curve is partially determined by the photon region, and the remaining portion of the shadow curve is partly controlled by the impact parameters of photons which has a turning point on the surface. When there's no photon region outside the surface, the shadow curve is totally controlled by the impact parameters of photons which has a turning point on the surface.

Nii südamelihase isheemia reperfusioonikahjustuse kui ka isheemilise eelkohastumuse patofüsioloogias mängivad olulist osa hapniku reaktiivsed osakesed. Hapniku kõrge osarõhk ja kestev ekspositsioon võivad põhjustada hapniku reaktiivsete osakeste kestva liigproduktsiooni, mis ületab organismi antioksüdantse kaitsevõime ja kutsub esile kahjustava oksüdatiivse stressi. Samas on hapniku reaktiivsetel osakestel oluline füsioloogiline roll rakkude signaalmolekulidena, mis osalevad

description: Context. Our Galaxy is composed of different stellar populations with varying chemical abundances, which are thought to imprint the composition of planet building blocks (PBBs). As such, the properties of stars should affect the properties of planets and small bodies formed in their systems. In this context, high-resolution spectroscopic surveys open a window into the chemical links between and their host stars. Aims. We aim to determine the PBB composition trends for various stellar populations across the Galaxy by comparing the two large spectroscopic surveys APOGEE and GALAH. We assess the reliability of the PBB composition as determined with these surveys with a propagation error study. Methods. Stellar spectroscopic abundances from the large surveys GALAH-DR3 and APOGEE-DR17 were used as input with a stoichiometric condensation model. We classified stars into different Galactic components and we quantified the PBB composition trends as a function of [Fe/H]. We also analysed the distribution composition patterns in the [$α$/Fe]-[Fe/H] diagram. Results. Our propagation error study suggests that the overall trends with [Fe/H] and [$α$/Fe] are robust, which is supported by the double study of both APOGEE and GALAH. We therefore confirm the existence of a bimodal PBB composition separating the thin disc stars from the thick disc stars. Furthermore, we confirm that the stoichiometric water PBB content is anti-correlated with [Fe/H]. Conclusions. Our results imply that metal-poor stars both in the thin and thick disks are suitable hosts for water-rich PBBs and for ice-rich small bodies. However, for metal-poor stars ([Fe/H]<0), the PBBs around thick disc stars should have a higher water content than that around thin disc stars because of the $α$-contentdependence of the water mass fraction.

description: The advent of graphene has renewed the interest in other 2D carbon-based materials. Bhattacharya and Jana have proposed a new carbon allotrope, composed of different polygonal carbon rings containing 4, 5, 6, and 10 atoms, named Tetra-Penta-Deca-Hexagonal-graphene (TPDH-graphene). This unusual topology created material with interesting mechanical, electronic, and optical properties and several potential applications, including UV protection. Like other 2D carbon structures, chemical functionalizations can be used to tune their TPDH-graphene properties. In this work, we investigated the hydrogenation dynamics of TPDH-graphene and its effects on its electronic structure, combining DFT and fully atomistic reactive molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that H atoms are mainly incorporated on tetragonal ring sites (up to 80% at 300 K), leading to the appearance of well-delimited pentagonal carbon stripes. The electronic structure of the hydrogenated structures shows the formation of narrow bandgaps with the presence of Dirac cone-like structures, indicative of anisotropic transport properties.

description: It is generally recognized that the State of Utah attempts to provide schooling to a higher proportion of youth than other states in the nation. Utah has the largest proportion of high school graduates (50 per cent) in its adult population, and also the highest median school years completed (12.2 years) by adults 25 years old and older. These are some of the highlights of the 1961 edition of the "Rankings of the States," an annual publication in which the National Education Association compares all 50 states in terms of educational effort and achievement.
