Nicos Poulantzas: For Gramsci
Creators: name: Kardaras, Basil P.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Nicos Poulantzas' work makes a major epistemological contribution to the study of the production and reproduction of the social relations of existence. This work is an in-depth exegesis and analysis of Poulantzas' view on the capitalist State, social classes, ideology, and the democratic transition to democratic socialism. Poulantzas' relational or articulation theory is systematically developed with regard to the political, ideological, and economic practices. It is shown that these practices are fundamental ensembles whose particular form of articulation establishes the morphology of concrete social formations. There is also an examination of the work of Antonio Gramsci and Louis Althusser. The linkages between Gramsci's problematic and Poulantzas' problematic are revealed on a variety of levels through a symptomatic reading. Poulantzas makes wide use of Gramsci's concepts, e.g., hegemony, historical bloc, etc., which he articulates with the structural concepts of Althusser to form a new and more powerful epistemology. It is further noted that Althusser's work on ideology, like that of Poulantzas, is heavily overdetermined by Gramsci's problematic.
Adversarial System Variant Approximation to Quantify Process Model Generalization

description: In process mining, process models are extracted from event logs using process discovery algorithms and are commonly assessed using multiple quality dimensions. While the metrics that measure the relationship of an extracted process model to its event log are well-studied, quantifying the level by which a process model can describe the unobserved behavior of its underlying system falls short in the literature. In this paper, a novel deep learning-based methodology called Adversarial System Variant Approximation (AVATAR) is proposed to overcome this issue. Sequence Generative Adversarial Networks are trained on the variants contained in an event log with the intention to approximate the underlying variant distribution of the system behavior. Unobserved realistic variants are sampled either directly from the Sequence Generative Adversarial Network or by leveraging the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. The degree by which a process model relates to its underlying unknown system behavior is then quantified based on the realistic observed and estimated unobserved variants using established process model quality metrics. Significant performance improvements in revealing realistic unobserved variants are demonstrated in a controlled experiment on 15 ground truth systems. Additionally, the proposed methodology is experimentally tested and evaluated to quantify the generalization of 60 discovered process models with respect to their systems.

description: PyGSTi is a Python software package for assessing and characterizing the performance of quantum computing processors. It can be used as a standalone application, or as a library, to perform a wide variety of quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) protocols on as-built quantum processors. We outline pyGSTi's structure, and what it can do, using multiple examples. We cover its main characterization protocols with end-to-end implementations. These include gate set tomography, randomized benchmarking on one or many qubits, and several specialized techniques. We also discuss and demonstrate how power users can customize pyGSTi and leverage its components to create specialized QCVV protocols and solve user-specific problems.

description: We study model-independently the implications of non-standard scalar and pseudoscalar interactions for the decays b ->s gamma, b -> s g, b -> s l^+l^- (l=e,mu) and B_s -> mu^+ mu^-. We find sizeable renormalization effects from scalar and pseudoscalar four-quark operators in the radiative decays and at O(alpha_s) in hadronic b decays. Constraints on the Wilson coefficients of an extended operator basis are worked out. Further, the ratios R_H = BR(B -> H mu^+ mu^-)/BR(B -> H e^+ e^-), for H=K^(*), X_s, and their correlations with B_s -> mu^+ mu^- decay are investigated. We show that the Standard Model prediction for these ratios defined with the same cut on the dilepton mass for electron and muon modes, R_H= 1 + O(m^2_mu/m^2_b), has a much smaller theoretical uncertainty (<1%) than the one for the individual branching fractions. The present experimental limit R_K < 1.2 puts constraints on scalar and pseudoscalar couplings, which are similar to the ones from current data on BR(B_s -> mu^+ mu^-). We find that new physics corrections to R_{K*} and R_{X_s} can reach 13% and 10%, respectively.

description: The prediction and measurement of the heat effects that accompany chemical changes are important to the understanding and use of chemical reactions. If the vessel containing the reacting system is so insulated that no heat flows into or out of the system (adiabatic condition), the heat effect that accompanies the transformation may be manifested by an increase or a decrease in temperature, as the case may be, of the substances present. Accurate values of heats of reactions are necessary for the proper design of equipment for use in chemical processes.

State, agricultural policy, and rural development in a developing country: The case of post-1965 Zaire
Creators: name: Mokoli, Mondonga M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study evaluates the overt and underlying relevancy of the priority which the state in post-1965 Zaire has accorded to the agricultural and rural sector for socioeconomic development. The study examines the indicators provided by the conventional agricultural and rural development theories. These indicators show over time that that sector has not received a necessary and a sufficient financial support, and lacked political will and commitment, to materialize its assigned and intended goals. The study indicates that the basic objective of the agricultural and rural policy in Zaire has been political, not socio-economic. It has been a political mechanism of mobilization and control of the rural people who have been attempting to overthrow the state because of its inability to carry out national and rural socioeconomic development. The study demonstrates that the failure of the agricultural policy to carry out rural socio-economic development in Zaire is rooted in the nature and the role of the state in this country. The state in post-1965 Zaire is a socialistic superstructure, which stands on a capitalistic economic infrastructure set up by the Belgian colonial administration during the expansion of capitalism on a world scale. This incompatible juxtaposition of a socialistic superstructure with a capitalistic infrastructure, in the same social formation has engendered the structural conflicts and blockage of the Zairean system in favor of the few who hold the key state offices and have utilized them to establish their economic bases and expand their ideologico-political influence. The study calls for the mastery of the state in post-1965 as the sine qua non and a minimum achievement without which there is considerable doubt as to whether post-1965 Zaire can proceed beyond its present stage of national and rural socio-economic underdevelopment. It encourages the development of microstrategies, which have been productive and have been providing the rural people with some income. The rural people must be very cautious with whatever development initiatives and policies which the state in post-1965 Zaire would undertake on their behalf.

description: KKMC-hh is a hadronic event generator for Z boson production and decays, which includes exponentiated multi-photon radiation and first-order electroweak corrections. We have used KKMC-hh to investigate the role of initial sate radiation (ISR) and initial-final interference (IFI) in precision electroweak analyses at the LHC. We compare the effect of this radiation on angular distributions and forward-backward asymmetry, which are particularly important for the measurement of the weak mixing angle. We discuss the relation of the ISR implementation in KKMC-hh to ISR from parton distribution functions with QED corrections.

description: A general result is presented on the lack of second order corrections and on the form of the leading order Floquet quasi-energies in the high-frequency approximation for a two-level driven system. Then, by a perturbative approach in the high-frequency approximation that uses dual Dyson series and renormalization group techniques [M. Frasca, Phys. Rev. B 68, 165315 (2003)], we obtain a third order correction for a sinusoidal driving field that is the same obtained by Barata and Wreszinski [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2112 (2000)], confirming their result that localization deviates from the zeros of the zero-th order Bessel function when higher order terms are taken into account. Three different expressions for this correction are compared. An important consequence of this result is that gives complete support to the correctness of both methods. Finally, the limitation of high-frequency approximations is presented by comparison with numerical results for a sinusoidal driving field.

description: As a primary care nurse practitioner (NP), a referral to a specialist is sometimes necessary. When a patient presents with a complaint outside of our scope of care or when a procedure we do not perform is required, a referral to a specialist is necessary. However, the referral process is fraught with problems. These include over-referring, low patient completion rate, and the lack of effective communication between the specialist and primary care provider (PCP). The referral may be unnecessary, thus wasting the patient’s time and health care dollars. Worse, referrals may lead to patient harm, such as unnecessary tests, procedures, and surgeries.

description: We argue that the N=1 higher-spin theory on AdS4 is holographically dual to the N=1 supersymmetric critical O(N) vector model in three dimensions. This appears to be a special form of the AdS/CFT correspondence in which both regular and irregular bulk modes have similar roles and their interplay leads simultaneously to both the free and the interacting phases of the boundary theory. We study various boundary conditions that correspond to boundary deformations connecting, for large-N, the free and interacting boundary theories. We point out the importance of parity in this holography and elucidate the Higgs mechanism responsible for the breaking of higher-spin symmetry for subleading N.

description: Recently, an approach known as relaxation has been developed for preserving the correct evolution of a functional in the numerical solution of initial-value problems, using Runge-Kutta methods. We generalize this approach to multistep methods, including all general linear methods of order two or higher, and many other classes of schemes. We prove the existence of a valid relaxation parameter and high-order accuracy of the resulting method, in the context of general equations, including but not limited to conservative or dissipative systems. The theory is illustrated with several numerical examples.

A confirmatory factor analysis based study of Seeman's model of alienation

description: This dissertation develops a longitudinal second-order confirmatory factor-analytic model of alienation in employed American men, to determine if Seeman's five dimensions of alienation have a common domain. Alienation appears in this model as a second-order factor that is significantly related to all five of these facets. Powerlessness and self-estrangement are shown to be the two central facets. Meaninglessness, normlessness and cultural estrangement show progressively smaller relationships to the underlying alienation construct. Thus a single factor accounts for a common domain of alienation which underlies the dimensions Seeman developed. Cross-national comparisons using data from Poland and Japan confirm the generalizability of this model. The single second order alienation factor is shown to be associated with a number of variables as expected from theoretical considerations or previous research including class, stratification, and various aspects of work.

description: While pulsars possess exceptional rotational stability, large scale timing studies have revealed at least two distinct types of irregularities in their rotation: red timing noise and glitches. Using modern Bayesian techniques, we investigated the timing noise properties of 300 bright southern-sky radio pulsars that have been observed over 1.0-4.8 years by the upgraded Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST). We reanalysed the spin and spin-down changes associated with nine previously reported pulsar glitches, report the discovery of three new glitches and four unusual glitch-like events in the rotational evolution of PSR J1825$-$0935. We develop a refined Bayesian framework for determining how red noise strength scales with pulsar spin frequency ($ν$) and spin-down frequency ($\dotν$), which we apply to a sample of 280 non-recycled pulsars. With this new method and a simple power-law scaling relation, we show that red noise strength scales across the non-recycled pulsar population as $ν^{a} |\dotν|^{b}$, where $a = -0.84^{+0.47}_{-0.49}$ and $b = 0.97^{+0.16}_{-0.19}$. This method can be easily adapted to utilise more complex, astrophysically motivated red noise models. Lastly, we highlight our timing of the double neutron star PSR J0737$-$3039, and the rediscovery of a bright radio pulsar originally found during the first Molonglo pulsar surveys with an incorrectly catalogued position.

Influence Of Current Leads On Critical Current For Spin Precession In Magnetic Multilayers

description: In magnetic multilayers, a dc current induces a spin precession above a certain critical current. Drive torques responsible for this can be calculated from the spin accumulation $\bar{Δμ}$. Existing calculations of $\bar{Δμ}$ assume a uniform cross section of conductors. But most multilayer samples are pillars with current leads flaring out immediately to a much wider cross-section area than that of the pillar itself. We write spin-diffusion equations of a form valid for variable cross section, and solve the case of flat electrodes with radial current distribution perpendicular to the axis of the pillar. Because of the increased volume available for conduction-electron spin relaxation in such leads, $\bar{Δμ}$ is reduced in the pillar by at least a factor of 2 below its value for uniform cross section, for given current density in the pillar. Also, $\bar{Δμ}$ and the critical current density for spin precession become nearly independent of the thickness of the pinned magnetic layer, and more dependent on the thickness of the spacer, in better agreement with measurements by Albert et al. (2002).

World Bank policy-based lending, 1980-1985: A review and evaluation
Creators: name: Stevenson, Gail B.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The World Bank's structural and sectoral adjustment lending policy of the 1980s is a fundamental departure from earlier project-based lending. Policy-based lending supports reforms designed to remove structural and institutional impediments to more efficient resource use and to facilitate adjustment to world markets. Toward this end, measures often focus on trade liberalization and export promotion. This paper reviews the literature on policy-based lending, the relationship between domestic and external growth in recipient countries from 1980-85, and the effects of lending in four country case studies (South Korea, Turkey, Malawi, and Jamaica). In a cross-country context, recipient countries have not exhibited better export performance than non-recipient IMF high-conditionality countries. Common themes that emerge from the case studies are the inability of policy-based lending to attract the level of private funding upon which continued adjustment is predicated, and the difficulty of implementing and sustaining institutional reforms. These and other lessons raise questions about the sustainability of policy-based adjustment lending beyond its chosen medium-term time frame (3 to 5 years).

description: Communities commonly overlap in real-world networks. This is a motivation to develop overlapping community detection methods, because methods for non-overlapping communities may not perform well. However, deterioration mechanism of the detection methods used for non-overlapping communities have rarely been investigated theoretically. Here, we analyze an accuracy of spectral clustering, which does not consider overlapping structures, by using the replica method from statistical physics. Our analysis on an overlapping stochastic block model reveals how the structural information is lost from the leading eigenvector because of the overlapping structure.

description: This correlational study examined the relationship between the retention of registered nurses and the three dimensions of a magnetic hospital work environment: a domain consensus of excellence, professional development through relationships and professional actualization through the work itself. The three dimensions were comprised of two or more subscales which were: role clarity, innovation, structural flexibility, commitment, professional bonding, administrative support, professional discretion and task discretion. The subjects were 108 registered nurses practicing hospital nursing in the District of Columbia who received a survey by direct mail and who were given anonymity and confidentiality. The data were collected from an original instrument designed by the researcher, the Richards Retention Inventory (RRI), and analyzed, using the Loglinear Regression model. From the results, it was concluded that the three dimensions of a magnetic hospital work environment were positively related to the retention of registered nurses and that retention was a linear function of the three dimensions of a magnetic hospital work environment. In addition, the more these dimensions were present in the hospital environment, the more likely registered nurses were to remain in their present employment. It was recommended that hospitals concerned about the nursing shortage focus on retaining nurses rather than recruiting and replacing them by structuring their work environments in order to achieve positive results in the three dimensions of magnetism. Recommendations for future research were for a replication of the study using random sampling and obtaining a large enough sample to permit the correlation of the subscales of each dimension with RNs' intent to remain in their present employment in order to determine the degree to which each subscale contributed to retention of registered nurses.

description: Free field representations of vertex algebra in SL(2,R)/U(1) x U(1) WZNW model are constructed by considering a twisted version of the Bershadsky-Kutasov free field description of discrete states in the two-dimensional black hole CFT. These correspond to conjugate representations describing primary states in the model on SL(2,R)/U(1) x U(1). A particular evaluation of these leads to identities due to the spectral flow symmetry of sl(2)_k algebra. The computation of correlation functions is discussed and, as an application, these are compared with analogous results known for the sine-Liouville theory. Exact agreement is observed between both analytic structures.

description: We propose a systematic procedure for constructing effective models of strongly correlated materials. The parameters, in particular the on-site screened Coulomb interaction U, are calculated from first principles, using the GW approximation. We derive an expression for the frequency-dependent U and show that its high frequency part has significant influence on the spectral functions. We propose a scheme for taking into account the energy dependence of U, so that a model with an energy-independent local interaction can still be used for low-energy properties.

description: This project was designed to expand on the peer-reviewed literature to understand risk factors for violence in the transgender Latinx community in Chicago, in collaboration with the Puerto Rican Cultural Center (PRCC) in Humboldt Park. The PRCC also wanted to understand how well their programming was addressing these risk factors. A 90-minute semi-structured focus group was conducted in English with 7 participants over Zoom. Participants ranged from 20-62 years of age and all self-identified as Latinx transgender Chicago residents. The focus group transcript was coded using Dedoose software for qualitative analysis and results were reported out toPRCC staff. Participants shared about difficult relationships with law enforcement, their abilities to access health services, their experience with sex work, and other important issues. Participants also stated the importance of transgender individuals advocating for progressive policies and laws, as well as the need for improved training for police and health care professionals. Recommendations for the PRCC included having their own on-site health clinic and increasing the number of group therapy and support groups for specific identities. There are a number of changes that could be made to improve the Latinx transgenderexperience in Chicago including legalizing sex work, taking a gender-affirming and trauma informed approach to health care, providing more resources for public health research with the transgender community, and new training initiatives for employers and law enforcement.
New fermionic formula for unrestricted Kostka polynomials

description: A new fermionic formula for the unrestricted Kostka polynomials of type $A_{n-1}^{(1)}$ is presented. This formula is different from the one given by Hatayama et al. and is valid for all crystal paths based on Kirillov-Reshetihkin modules, not just for the symmetric and anti-symmetric case. The fermionic formula can be interpreted in terms of a new set of unrestricted rigged configurations. For the proof a statistics preserving bijection from this new set of unrestricted rigged configurations to the set of unrestricted crystal paths is given which generalizes a bijection of Kirillov and Reshetikhin.

Atmospheric Circulation on Black Widow Companions

description: We present a model for atmospheric wind circulation in binary millisecond pulsar (MSP) companions, showing how the optical light curve (LC) and radial velocities (RV) are sensitive to the wind flow, causing LC orbital phase shifts and asymmetries, as observed for several `spider' MSP. Velocity widths of spectral lines offer additional opportunities for measuring surface wind speed. As examples, we fit optical data for a black widow pulsar J1959+2048 and a redback pulsar J2215+5135; the wind heating models (WH) are statistically strongly preferred over direct heating (DH) for both objects, although the latter is even better fit with a heated spot. In general, WH effects tend to increase the inferred orbital inclination $i$ and decrease the inferred companion center-of-mass radial velocity amplitude $K_\mathrm{c}$; both effects decrease the inferred neutron star mass. Even with such a decrease, we find large masses for the two neutron stars: $2.18\pm0.09M_\odot$ and $2.28^{+0.10}_{-0.09}M_\odot$, respectively (for the modest surface speeds fit from the bulk heat flow; supersonic photospheric winds can slightly change these values). These are among the highest masses known, and our improved modeling increases confidence that the results are important for understanding the dense matter equation of state.

The effect of a magnetic hospital work environment on the retention of registered nurses
Creators: name: Richards, Katherine C.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This correlational study examined the relationship between the retention of registered nurses and the three dimensions of a magnetic hospital work environment: a domain consensus of excellence, professional development through relationships and professional actualization through the work itself. The three dimensions were comprised of two or more subscales which were: role clarity, innovation, structural flexibility, commitment, professional bonding, administrative support, professional discretion and task discretion. The subjects were 108 registered nurses practicing hospital nursing in the District of Columbia who received a survey by direct mail and who were given anonymity and confidentiality. The data were collected from an original instrument designed by the researcher, the Richards Retention Inventory (RRI), and analyzed, using the Loglinear Regression model. From the results, it was concluded that the three dimensions of a magnetic hospital work environment were positively related to the retention of registered nurses and that retention was a linear function of the three dimensions of a magnetic hospital work environment. In addition, the more these dimensions were present in the hospital environment, the more likely registered nurses were to remain in their present employment. It was recommended that hospitals concerned about the nursing shortage focus on retaining nurses rather than recruiting and replacing them by structuring their work environments in order to achieve positive results in the three dimensions of magnetism. Recommendations for future research were for a replication of the study using random sampling and obtaining a large enough sample to permit the correlation of the subscales of each dimension with RNs' intent to remain in their present employment in order to determine the degree to which each subscale contributed to retention of registered nurses.
Gauging internal fermionic symmetries and spin 3/2 fields

description: Field theoretic models possessing a global internal fermionic shift symmetry are considered. When such a symmetry is realized locally, spin 3/2 fields appear naturally as gauge fields. Implementation of the gauging procedure requires not only the usual replacement of ordinary derivatives by covariant derivatives containing the spin 3/2 fields, but also the inclusion of additional monomials. The Higgs mechanism and the high energy Nambu-Goldstone fermion equivalence theorem are explicitly demonstrated.

The relationship between selected status factors and certain educational difficulties of a sample of male Arab students in five selected universities
Creators: name: Addou, Ibrahim Hassan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this study was: (1) to determine the extent of difficulty a sample of degree seeking, male, Arab students attending five Washington D.C. area universities experience in each of three educational areas, namely, English language proficiency, academic performance, and academic resources; (2) to determine the relationship between the difficulties reported for each of the three areas and the following five personal characteristics: age, marital status, length of stay in the U.S., academic classification, and major area; and (3) to draw implications from the findings regarding the need for institutional services and programs intended to serve the needs of this special population. Study subjects were 400 degree-seeking, male, Arab students. They were selected on a convenience basis to complete two research instruments, the Personal Data Inventory (PDI) and Educational Difficulty Checklist (EDC), developed by the researcher. Data collection was undertaken in the fall semester of the 1988-89 academic year. Fifteen hypotheses were postulated each of which pertained to the relationship between one of the three areas of educational difficulty (dependent variable) and one of five personal characteristics (independent variable). Hypothesis testing was done through the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) program using the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Five of fifteen hypotheses were confirmed. The accepted hypotheses provided evidence that there is a significant relationship between difficulty in English language and the students' current age, length of stay in the U.S., and marital status. Also, academic performance difficulty was significantly related to the students' length of stay in the U.S, and marital status. Specifically, older students (over 28 years), married students, and students with shortest stay in the U.S. (24 months or under) reported more English language difficulty. In addition to the language difficulty, married students, and students with the shortest length of stay experienced greater academic performance difficulty. The single most troublesome difficulty reported by the study subjects among the twenty-two items on the EDC considered is "Opportunity for practical training". It was reported by over half of the study sample (52%) as a matter causing them some or much difficulty.

description: A micro-pressure sensor with an isosceles trapezoidal beam-membrane (ITBM) is proposed in this paper, consisting of a square silicon membrane, four isosceles trapezoidal beams and four piezoresistors.To investigate how the elastic silicon membrane affects pressure sensitive characteristics, a simulation models based on ANSYS 15.0 software were used to analyze the effect of structural dimension on characteristics of pressure sensor. According to that, the chips of micro-pressure sensors were fabricated by micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology on a silicon wafer with <100> orientation.The experimental results show that the proposed sensor achieves a better sensitivity of 9.64 mV/kPa and an excellent linearity of 0.09%F.S. in the range of 0~3.0 kPa at room temperature and a supply voltage of 5.0 V,with a super temperature coefficient of sensitivity(TCS) about - 684 ppm/K from 235.15 K to 360.15 K and low pressure measurement less than 3.0 kPa.
