description: Climate change and its consequences pose significant economic and social challenges around the world. Droughts have frequently afflicted South Africa, with the most recent severe drought occurring in 2015/2016. However, there has been little empirical research estimating the impact of climate-related shocks on individual well-being in South Africa. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the 2015/16 drought on individual welfare. We also examine whether access to assets helps to mitigate the negative effects of climate change-related shocks on individual welfare. For estimating the impact of droughts on individual welfare outcomes, weather data is combined with individual panel data from the National Income Dynamics Study dataset. We use weather data from meteorological satellites to measure the extent of droughts across the country, and we measure individual welfare using real per capita consumption expenditure. Our estimation results show that the 2015/2016 drought had no significant effect on real per capita consumption expenditure in South Africa. We hypothesise that this is due in part to the structure of the labour market, with few people relying on subsistence farming, combined with social grants and remittances being the primary source of income for people at the bottom of the consumption distribution. Using anthropometric measurements as an alternative welfare indicator, we find that children living in drought-affected areas had lower weight‐for-height measurements than those living in areas not affected by the drought. The findings imply that when food prices increased as a result of the drought, households may have chosen welfare-costly coping techniques such as reducing the quantity and quality of food consumed while keeping overall expenditure the same.

description: This paper introduces the approach taken to analyse the impact of climate change-related
shocks on household welfare outcomes in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. The document reviews
discussions on the diverse effects of climate change shocks on livelihoods and welfare, as well
as the extent to which coping mechanisms mitigate these negative impacts. The paper
emphasizes the use of assets as a framework for understanding resilience to climate change
shocks, illustrating how varying asset levels relate to different welfare outcomes when
households face such shocks. The evaluation of how climate change shocks, such as droughts and
floods, affected household welfare in the three countries is described. Employing an asset lens
allowed for the characterization of households' resilience and vulnerability to climate change
shocks in these contexts. The paper outlines the data sources, quantitative methods, and
identification strategy employed in each country to account for the interaction between climate
change shocks, welfare outcomes, and assets. Additionally, the paper presents findings from the
case studies, highlighting how the composition of asset portfolios shapes welfare outcomes in the
face of climate change shocks, such as droughts or floods. It is observed that these shocks have
a compounding effect, depleting assets, impacting livelihoods, and exacerbating poverty.
However, this effect is more pronounced for households with fewer assets, and its manifestation
varies depending on the specific contextual factors surrounding the shocks. Thus, different
dynamics are observed between Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.

description: This study uses multivariate analysis of variance to analyze the emotional exhaustion of police officers in Taiwan based on the Chinese version of the safety attitudes questionnaire. Position and the interaction of years of service and position are the two demographic variables that have significant influences on burnout. Sergeants tend to have higher emotional exhaustion than middle-ranking police officers statistically from four out of nine questions. In addition, the interaction of year of service and position has significant impacts on two out of nine questions. In summary, sergeants with 20 to less than 30 years have higher emotional exhaustion. Middle-ranking police officers with less than 1 year should be taken great care as well due to their high emotional exhaustion though their sample of size is small.

Main questions addressed here are the number of difficulties related to the sources of financing the current and the developing activities of the companies in Macedonia. The analysis is undertaken by using statistical techniques and models. The results suggest that in the post-crisis period the companies are facing with number of difficulties of providing financial resources for the current and the developing activities where the most significant source of finance are the bank credits. Also, the results suggest that delayed payment of claims, the legislative and the high level of interest rate are the most common factors that restrict the access to finance of the Macedonian companies.

Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024

description: The last years have observed a series of mounting challenges that have deepened tensions in the region, as illustrated by the increase in the number of protests in the region. The increase in tensions relate to the intersection of worsening of living conditions for millions of citizens- a consequence of the pandemic, the ripple effects of Russian aggression towards Ukraine, and the concerns about a coming global recession. These tensions will bring challenges to political systems across the region, manifested in the occurrence of different types of protests, and the risk of declining support for democracy in Latin America, should governments fail to respond to the demands of their citizens.

The deepening of inequalities in Latin America during and after the pandemic

Year: 2024

description: Latin America continues in social, economic, and political turmoil in 2021. The vulnerabilities set by pre-existing conditions such as persistent inequality, high informality and exclusionary social protection systems have been exacerbated by recent health and humanitarian crises unprecedented experienced in the region's modern history. These crises have significantly impacted on socioeconomic indicators, as accounted in the increased levels of vulnerability and poverty next to stagnant economic growth. Public sector responses have been relevant but insufficient to cushion the effect of these multiple crises and, in many cases, unveiled the degree to which unrequested orthodoxy limited the role of the state in providing adequate support to its citizens. The chapter explores efforts to tackle the impacts of compounded deprivations of spatial segregation, pervasive informality, gendered and racialised vulnerabilities, and the education crisis, and explores the options governments face in terms of reversing the adverse effects of the pandemic while sustaining the economic rebound. In a context of polarised political participation, discontent will inevitably lead to contention and, in some cases, instability and violence, should the governments choose to be aloof about the need for a socially just recovery.
Risiko – eine unproduktive Leerstelle

Year: 2022

description: Das bekannte Strategiespiel Risiko ist frei von einer historischen Kontextualisierung und entbehrt in seiner Darstellung von Welt jeglicher kulturellen Unterscheidungen. Hierin scheint das Faszinosum des Spiels zu liegen, das sich den Spielenden als Projektionsfläche für alle möglichen Kriegs- oder Konfliktszenarios anbietet – historisch, hypothetisch oder fantastisch. Das auf Er- oberung ausgelegte Spielziel fördert und belohnt allerdings Angriffs- und Aufrüstungsverhalten und bleibt trotz veränderter Begrifflichkeiten, die sich einer Befreiungsrethorik bedienen, der narrativen Logik seines Originaltitels La conquête du monde (1957) [dt. die Eroberung der Welt] in der Spielmechanik treu. Diese ‚Herrschaft über die gesamte Welt‘ drückt einen Totalitätsanspruch aus, der in die Zeit des Kolonialismus fällt. Trotz der fehlenden konkreten Referenz auf koloniale Machtergreifung, weist die Spiellogik starke Verweise auf imperiale Zusammenhänge auf. Im Sinne einer „public history” konservieren sich folglich in Spielen wie Risiko koloniale Konflikte, werden Teil einer Erinnerungskultur und eines öffentlich Unterbewussten.

description: Background
Pathology is defined as the science of disease-induced tissue alterations that range from macroscopic via microscopic to molecular levels of view. Herein we report the implementation of portable electronic devices that offer a holistic education and visualize disease related tissue information of formalin fixed organs (macroscopic appearance) together with microscopic images.
Aims
Continuous content updates, high performance, data-caching and the use apps in offline mode without network connec­tion as well as the large amount of smartphone and tablet computers  that run under Android operating system got us to create an appropriate system. The inclusion of virtual slides and virtual microscopy was assigned, however not yet possible at the date of system compilation.
Methods

We combined our virtual microscope „AndroScope“ with a new developed user-interface of the „Berliner Medizinhistorisches Museum“ (Berlin Historic Medical Museum, BMM) for android based mobile devices such as smartphone and tablet com­puter. We used images of the exhibition samples, information of the corresponding organs and diseases, as well as epidemiology data and whole slide images for visualization of histological changes. Linkage of digital content and samples is realized using QR-codes to assure valid and user-friendly recognition. We have also evaluated other technologies such as NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi or GPS to ensure that the QR-Code solution is the best opinion. The application offers an online mode with full functionality and an offline mode with limited access to images as well as to the virtual microscope.

Urban inequality and protests in Ecuador and Chile
Creators: name: Andrés Díaz Pabón, Fabio
Publisher: name: SALDRU working papers
Year: 2024

description: Mobility is a multifaceted concept with social, economic and political implications. Spatial
mobility, inequality and precarity intertwine. This article reflects on the role of mobility and
precarity and the emergence of protests in both Ecuador and Chile in 2019. We argue that
the announced increases in transport and fuel costs in Chile and Ecuador unveiled the
obstacles to mobility and the degree of existing inequalities. Whereas protests emerged as a
response to the announcement of a reduction in fuel subsidies and the possible increases in
the costs of transport, they reflec something deeper related to the vulnerability of the
livelihoods of segments of the population; this in spite that both Chile and Ecuador observe
improvements in poverty and inequality indicators. Undertaking a more dissagregated
analysis of the effects of reduction in fuel subsidies or increases in metro tickets we find that
mobility correlates with a pattern of structural marginalisation that perpetuates inequality,
which is not necessarily visible to aggregate economic indicators.

In order to achieve the research goals, neural networks and t-test were applied. The study was based on three sets of factors related to academic success, academic failure and dropout. The results indicate gender differences and differences between students’ and alumni responses, especially in their perception of academic failure. Age, students’ status and rank position at enrollment have been shown as the most important determinants of academic success.
Reinstating the importance of categorical inequities in South Africa

Year: 2024

description: South Africa was one of the most unequal countries in the world in 1994 and inequality has featured prominently as a key socio-economic and policy challenge over the post-apartheid period. Yet, despite policy interventions with the aim of reducing inequality, these high levels of inequality remain in place. Such resilience in inequality demands from us a better understanding of the mechanisms that reproduce and create inequalities. Having consolidated the research on South Africa's income and wealth inequality, we explore the interactions between these inequalities and different sets of categories (gender, race and class) in space to surface how the dynamics of inequality relate to mechanisms that create and reproduce inequalities in South Africa. We build this analysis further by taking stock of recent work on social mobility. In the conclusion we pull together this picture of precarious mobility and review policies to overcome inequality against this prevailing reality. These policies have not worked, making clear the urgent need for interdisciplinary research on how to break the inequality traps.

description: Hepatitis B viruses belong to a family of partially double stranded DNA viruses that infect a range of organisms with host responses that vary from mild to chronic infection and carcinogenesis. The white sucker hepatitis B virus (WSHBV) was first described in the freshwater teleost, white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) in 2015 and unofficially classified as a parahepadnavirus in 2017. At present, the significance of WSHBV infection to the health of white sucker is unknown. To date, no other parahepadnavirus genetic diversity or association with fish health has been studied. Here, we investigate patterns of genetic diversity and identify geographically associated variation among WSHBV genomes from white sucker inhabiting tributaries of Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and Lake Erie, and Alberta, Canada. We previously identified 13 WSHBV positive white suckers via a Nanostring codeset targeting viral core RNA. Here we identify an additional 22 virus positive fish using a qPCR method that detects viral DNA extracted from plasma and liver tissue. Subsequently, 28 WSHBV genomes were sequenced using a circular long range amplicon sequencing (CLAS) method that consisted of long-range PCR followed by amplicon sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq. The CLAS method was effective for genome sequencing; however, we observed inconsistencies in sequencing success of the 627 bp atypical region within WSHBV. The WSHBV genome and ORFs isolated here clustered together by geography similar to that observed with geographically separated human hepatitis B virus genotypes. Although the WSHBV genomes do not meet the criteria used to define subgenotypes of other hepadnaviruses, we suggest the use of the ratio of nonsynonymous/synonymous mutations (Ka/Ks) in the surface protein and total Dxy to differentiate subgenotypes. Between the five viral subgenotypes, Alberta 1522, Alberta 1538, St. Louis, Swan Creek, and Lake Michigan the Ka/Ks was ≥ 0.572 and the Dxy was ≥ 0.00683. Similar to other hepadnaviruses, variability between subgenotypes was concentrated in the PreS and spacer domain that is associated with immune epitopes and host specificity. This study of WSHBV genetic diversity should facilitate the development of molecular markers for future identification of genotypes and provide evidence in future investigations of possible differential disease outcomes.

The City of Baghdad in Art:  Innovations as Reinterpretations of Destruction
Creators: name: Al-Shamali, Farah
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2024

description: In and amongst the return to ruin ravaging the city of Baghdad, its contemporary artists lamented these violent turns unto space, taking it from utopian bliss to everyday dystopia. Their works represent a conveyance of the spatiality of pain but also a reckoning with character-altering devastation. There is further love of place even as it suffers the perils of war, the challenge being to reconcile death within life through the complexities of representation. Within these artistic offerings is the pioneering of the aestheticization of ruin. It is that life necessarily emerges from the bowels of devastation as the five selected native artists capture the majesty and ache of the capital as it ignited their imaginations. This is, in many ways, a series of interpretative frameworks that treat the afflicted city so that it may survive. It is settled into their imaginative sensibilities that can reclaim what was stripped in the absurdity of the real. From the permeation of ruination as material into the art-making process to reified pain, these Iraqi creatives have incorporated woundedness into their pieces. They speak back to the city what it was feeling and reeling from and uncover a spatiality of loss and innovation.

title: The Role of Positive Real Functions in A/D Transfer Function Matching
Creators: name: McEachen, Bill
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Transfer function matching
subject: Positive real
subject: Analog-to-discrete converstion
subject: Transfer function equivalence
subject: Frequency response matching
subject: A/D conversion

description: Please note: due to the publication date of this thesis, its formatting document differs from Mason's currently accepted University Formatting Guidelines.
description: Many adequate methods exist for conversion of transfer functions in the continuous domain to discrete equivalents with preservation of magni- tude. Frequency response in the true sense however is composed of both magnitude and phase components with characteristics input response in the time domain dependent on both parts. In an e ort to eliminate ac- ceptance of prediction error associated with phase distortion between con- tinuous and discrete "equivalents", this work strives for a transformation yielding complete transfer function (frequency response) match. Corre- lation is shown between operating on positive real continuous transfer functions and successful duplication of frequency response in the discrete domain. This work continues an earlier research e ort.

description: This study explored the transformative potential of artificial intelligence through cloud-based tools on data analytics. By integrating cloud computing with AI, it became possible for organizations to process large amounts of data and convert them into actionable insights far more efficiently. A mixed-methods approach in this study involved literature review, survey among IT professionals, and case studies of organizations that harnessed these technologies. From these investigations, it emerged that in the field of data analytics, access, speed, and affordability were enhanced through AI cloud-based tools. These scalable solutions were claimed to reduce data processing times by about 40% and analytics-related spending by an average of 36%. Concrete examples included the optimization of inventory management by a retail giant and the improvement of patient outcomes by a healthcare service provider. Among the other findings were increased decision-making and collaboration across departments due to flexibility in the cloud. The research underscored the critical role of cloud computing in democratizing advanced analytics and presenting established data analysis tools to businesses of all sizes. With increasing awareness and penetration of these technologies in organizations, the convergence of AI and cloud computing is expected to power innovation and operational efficiency in data-driven decision-making.
