Market Reforms and Women Workers in Vietnam A Case Study of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City

Subjects: International Development

description: Ongoing research on market reforms and their implications for labour reveal that the labour-shedding aspect of industrial restructuring or of privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) affects women workers more seriously than male workers. There are two reasons for this outcome. One is linked to cultural constructions of gender, whereby almost universally, women are still associated with family responsibilities first and the labour force only secondarily. The second reason is linked to economic calculations, typically made during periods of recession or restructuring, which affect women workers who require extra costs such as maternity leave, sick leave, childcare allowances, transportation, and so on. Thus the higher unemployment rates of women in nearly all transition economies and in other countries where privatization or structural adjustment leads to labour-force reductions. (See, for example, Fong and Paull 1993; Moghadam 1994; Standing 1994). The literature has also found a decline in labour standards during and after economic restructuring, which seems to result from efforts to cut labour and production costs, increase profitability, and attract foreign and domestic private investment. Indeed, throughout the world, the contraction of the state sector, the promotion of the private sector, growth of the informal sector, increases in unemployment, and a decline in the social power of unions provide the context in which labour standards are under attack while various forms of "precarious employment" are increasing: selfemployment, employment through sub-contracting arrangements, part-time work, temporary work, household production, child labour, and so on, including the growing use of relatively cheap female labour in the private sector. Standing (1989) has aptly termed this trend "global feminization through flexible labour". Many studies by women-indevelopment specialists have drawn attention to the gender-specific effects of various forms of economic restructuring, such as shifts in women's productive activities, their increased responsibility for domestic responsibilities when social services decline, and changes in their household status. (See, e.g., Davin 1991; Elson 1992; Beneria 1992; Moghadam 1993.)

description: There is now an emerging broad consensus among international institutions, United Nations agencies, aid donors, African policymakers and a considerable number of the scientific community concerned with the development of Africa about the major factors deteriorating Africa's ecosystem at an accelerating pace. Unsustainable use of forests (natural ecosystem), mechanized farming, livestock raising (rural practice) and to a lesser extent, urban practice (emission, industrial pollution, waste disposal and overcrowding factor affecting human health) have caused land degradation and will severely undermine Africa's economic future (ADB 1992, pp. 143-146; ECA/FAO 1994:53; Elamin and Ce'sar 1994, pp. ix-xii; FAO 1993:31-46; Salih 1992:2; UN 1994:22; UNEP 1989:4-7; WRI 1994a:10-14; World Bank 1992a, 1992b and 1994a:25-60, 6-12 and 174-179, respectively).1 Land (or rather the soil) remains the major resource in Africa (UNEP 1989:42-53 and World Bank 1989:75). Both soil and subsoil resources of a nation provide a strong base for sustainable economic development (Baumol 1991:1; Eisner 1989:87-97; Forje 1985:577; Leonard 1988:1-4; Pearce and Warford 1993:36-37; Salih 1992a:3-5 and World Bank 1989:119-133).

description: A four-neutrino spectrum with a sterile neutrino without significant involvement in the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillation experiments has been recently advocated as the correct picture to explain all existing experimental data. We propose a supersymmetric model in which this picture can be naturally implemented. In this model, the mass for the mainly active neutrino eigenstates is induced by the seesaw mechanism with a large intermediate scale $M_R$, whereas the mass for the mainly sterile neutrino state is closely related to supersymmetry breaking.

Comparing Two Partitions of Non-Equal Sets of Units

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Rand (1971) proposed what has since become a well-known index for comparing two partitions obtained on the same set of units. The index takes a value on the interval between 0 and 1, where a higher value indicates more similar partitions. Sometimes, e.g. when the units are observed in two time periods, the splitting and merging of clusters should be considered differently, according to the operationalization of the stability of clusters. The Rand Index is symmetric in the sense that both the splitting and merging of clusters lower the value of the index. In such a non-symmetric case, one of the Wallace indexes (Wallace, 1983) can be used. Further, there are several cases when one wants to compare two partitions obtained on different sets of units, where the intersection of these sets of units is a non-empty set of units. In this instance, the new units and units which leave the clusters from the first partition can be considered as a factor lowering the value of the index. Therefore, a modified Rand index is presented. Because the splitting and merging of clusters have to be considered differently in some situations, an asymmetric modified Wallace Index is also proposed. For all presented indices, the correction for chance is described, which allows different values of a selected index to be compared.

description: A group may be considered $C^*$-stable if almost representations of the group in a $C^*$-algebra are always close to actual representations. We initiate a systematic study of which discrete groups are $C^*$-stable or only stable with respect to some subclass of $C^*$-algebras, e.g. finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras. We provide criteria and invariants for stability of groups and this allows us to completely determine stability/non-stability of crystallographic groups, finitely generated torsion-free step-2 nilpotent groups, surface groups, virtually free groups and certain Baumslag-Solitar groups.
description: The results in section 4.2 (finitely generated torsion-free 2-step nilpotent groups) have been strengthened slightly. Clarified in the introduction that we only consider unitary group representations. A few misprints fixed. 39 pages

description: If $R$-parity is broken and the photino, although unstable, does not decay within the detector, then in new semileptonic $B$-decay modes a light ($\sim$ 2--3 GeV) photino can be produced carrying missing energy. However, the photino, being massive, arranges a different kinematical configuration for the visible decay products as compared to a standard semileptonic event where the neutrino carries the missing energy. We study the above kinematic distributions in an attempt to explore the above scenario.

Scattering of dislocated wavefronts by vertical vorticity and the Aharonov-Bohm effect I: Shallow water

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998

description: When a surface wave interacts with a vertical vortex in shallow water the latter induces a dislocation in the incident wavefronts that is analogous to what happens in the Aharonov-Bohm effect for the scattering of electrons by a confined magnetic field. In addition to this global similarity between these two physical systems there is scattering. This paper reports a detailed calculation of this scattering, which is quantitatively different from the electronic case in that a surface wave penetrates the inside of a vortex while electrons do not penetrate a solenoid. This difference, together with an additional difference in the equations that govern both physical systems lead to a quite different scattering in the case of surface waves, whose main characteristic is a strong asymmetry in the scattering cross section. The assumptions and approximations under which these effects happen are carefully considered, and their applicability to the case of scattering of acoustic waves by vorticity is noted.

description: Supramolecular packing dictates the physical properties of bio-inspired molecular assemblies in the solid state. Yet, modulating the stacking modes of bio-inspired supramolecular assemblies remains a challenge and the structure–property relationship is still not fully understood, which hampers the rational design of molecular structures to fabricate materials with desired properties. Herein, we present a co-assembly strategy to modulate the supramolecular packing of N-terminally capped alanine-based assemblies (Ac-Ala) by changing the amino acid chirality and mixing with a nonchiral bipyridine derivative (BPA). The co-assembly induced distinct solid-state stacking modes determined by X-ray crystallography, resulting in significantly enhanced electromechanical properties of the assembly architectures. The highest rigidity was observed after the co-assembly of racemic Ac-Ala with a bipyridine coformer (BPA/Ac-DL-Ala), which exhibited a measured Young’s modulus of 38.8 GPa. Notably, BPA crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space group, a condition that is broken when co-crystallized with Ac-L-Ala and Ac-D-Ala to induce a piezoelectric response. Enantiopure co-assemblies of BPA/Ac-D-Ala and BPA/Ac-L-Ala showed density functional theory-predicted piezoelectric responses that are remarkably higher than the other assemblies due to the increased polarization of their supramolecular packing. This is the first report of a centrosymmetric-crystallizing coformer which increases the single-crystal piezoelectric response of an electrically active bio-inspired molecular assembly. The design rules that emerge from this investigation of chemically complex co-assemblies can facilitate the molecular design of high-performance functional materials comprised of bio-inspired building blocks.

description: Since beginning work as a voluntary non-government development organization in Bangladesh in 1970, Mennonite Central Committee's (MCC) technically qualified volunteers and staff have conducted farmer participatory research and collaborated with government researchers and institutions for agricultural development. MCC achieved limited success in communicating the needs and constraints of marginal farmers to government researchers and institutions, and likewise had limited success in adapting government research to the subsistence farmer context. The paper documents the evolution of MCC's Agriculture Programme, describes MCC's agricultural research .and extension effort and impact, discusses MCC's procedure for setting research agenda, presents case studies of collaborative efforts, and indicates possible MCC directions for the future.

description: A long-standing challenge in scene analysis is the recovery of scene arrangements under moderate to heavy occlusion, directly from monocular video. While the problem remains a subject of active research, concurrent advances have been made in the context of human pose reconstruction from monocular video, including image-space feature point detection and 3D pose recovery. These methods, however, start to fail under moderate to heavy occlusion as the problem becomes severely under-constrained. We approach the problems differently. We observe that people interact similarly in similar scenes. Hence, we exploit the correlation between scene object arrangement and motions performed in that scene in both directions: first, typical motions performed when interacting with objects inform us about possible object arrangements; and second, object arrangements, in turn, constrain the possible motions. We present iMapper, a data-driven method that focuses on identifying human-object interactions, and jointly reasons about objects and human movement over space-time to recover both a plausible scene arrangement and consistent human interactions. We first introduce the notion of characteristic interactions as regions in space-time when an informative human-object interaction happens. This is followed by a novel occlusion-aware matching procedure that searches and aligns such characteristic snapshots from an interaction database to best explain the input monocular video. Through extensive evaluations, both quantitative and qualitative, we demonstrate that iMapper significantly improves performance over both dedicated state-of-the-art scene analysis and 3D human pose recovery approaches, especially under medium to heavy occlusion.

description: The aroma fraction of fresh fruits is a key factor to evaluate quality and acceptance or resistance of customers. Due to the limited sensitivity of current analytical methods, many important aroma components are unidentified in most studies of fresh fruit. In this work, the aroma compounds in the fresh navel orange were studied by multidimensional gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry which can simultaneously achieve one-dimensional and comprehensive two-dimensional separation on only one instrument, with no need to change columns. As a result, a total of 97 volatile compounds were determined by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography while only 44 compounds were identified by one-dimensional gas chromatography. The identified compounds, which account for 98.30% of the volatile chemicals present in the orange, include 10 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 22 alcohols, 12 esters, 11 hydrocarbons and 34 terpenes. D-limonene was shown to be the predominant compound in fresh navel oranges. The results show that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography provided reliable and comprehensive information on the aroma compounds in fresh navel oranges.

Phenomenological Constraints on the Higgs as Pseudo-Goldstone Boson Mechanism in Supersymmetric GUT Theories

description: There are few robust solutions to the doublet-triplet splitting problem in supersymmetric GUT theories. One of the more promising solutions is the Higgs as pseudo-Goldstone boson mechanism. In its minimal implementation, such a solution places an additional restriction on the parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric standard model. A testable consequence of this constraint is an equation for $\tan β$. We present this restriction and study its solutions in order to constrain the allowed parameter space. Thus the assumptions on the GUT scale Higgs sector should yield testable predictions for weak scale physics. If the SUSY parameters are measured then it should be possible to check the predictions, yielding insight into GUT scale physics.

Creators: name: Rushana Ganieva
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The focus of this scientific article is on the complexities of translating Uzbek into English, highlighting the significance of linguistic and cultural factors. As a Turkic language spoken in Central Asia, Uzbek presents specific difficulties for translators due to its distinct grammatical structure and cultural subtleties. This article examines linguistic characteristics and cultural contexts, offering illustrative examples to demonstrate effective translation methods. By combining linguistic theories and practical applications, this analysis aims to improve cross-cultural communication.

description: Only a few of the vast range of potential two-dimensional materials have been isolated or synthesised to date. Typically, 2D materials are discovered by mechanically exfoliating naturally occurring bulk crystals to produce atomically thin layers, after which a material-specific vapour synthesis method must be developed to grow interesting candidates in a scalable manner. Here we show a general approach for synthesising thin layers of two-dimensional binary compounds. We apply the method to obtain high quality, epitaxial MoS2 films, and extend the principle to the synthesis of a wide range of other materials - both well-known and never-before isolated - including transition metal sulphides, selenides, tellurides, and nitrides. This approach greatly simplifies the synthesis of currently known materials, and provides a general framework for synthesising both predicted and unexpected new 2D compounds.
Resonant relaxation in globular clusters

description: Resonant relaxation has been discussed as an efficient process that changes the angular momenta of stars orbiting around a central supermassive black hole due to the fluctuating gravitational field of the stellar cluster. Other spherical stellar systems, such as globular clusters, exhibit a restricted form of this effect where enhanced relaxation rate only occurs in the directions of the angular momentum vectors, but not in their magnitudes; this is called vector resonant relaxation (VRR). To explore this effect, we performed a large set of direct N-body simulations, with up to 512k particles and ~500 dynamical times. Contrasting our simulations with Spitzer-style Monte Carlo simulations, that by design only exhibit 2-body relaxation, we show that the temporal behavior of the angular momentum vectors in $N$-body simulations cannot be explained by 2-body relaxation alone. VRR operates efficiently in globular clusters with $N>10^4$. The fact that VRR operates in globular clusters may open way to use powerful tools in statistical physics for their description. In particular, since the distribution of orbital planes relaxes much more rapidly than the distribution of the magnitude of angular momentum and the radial action, the relaxation process reaches an internal statistical equilibrium in the corresponding part of phase space while the whole cluster is generally out of equilibrium, in a state of quenched disorder. We point out the need to include effects of VRR in Monte Carlo simulations of globular clusters.

Scattering of dislocated wavefronts by vertical vorticity and the Aharonov-Bohm effect II: Dispersive waves

description: Previous results on the scattering of surface waves by vertical vorticity on shallow water are generalized to the case of dispersive water waves. Dispersion effects are treated perturbatively around the shallow water limit, to first order in the ratio of depth to wavelength. The dislocation of the incident wavefront, analogous to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, is still observed. At short wavelengths the scattering is qualitatively similar to the nondispersive case. At moderate wavelengths, however, there are two markedly different scattering regimes according to wether the capillary length is smaller or larger than $\sqrt{3}$ times depth. The dislocation is characterized by a parameter that depends both on phase and group velocity. The validity range of the calculation is the same as in the shallow water case: wavelengths small compared to vortex radius, and low Mach number. The implications of these limitations are carefully considered.

description: The aroma fraction of fresh fruits is a key factor to evaluate quality and acceptance or resistance of customers. Due to the limited sensitivity of current analytical methods, many important aroma components are unidentified in most studies of fresh fruit. In this work, the aroma compounds in the fresh navel orange were studied by multidimensional gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry which can simultaneously achieve one-dimensional and comprehensive two-dimensional separation on only one instrument, with no need to change columns. As a result, a total of 97 volatile compounds were determined by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography while only 44 compounds were identified by one-dimensional gas chromatography. The identified compounds, which account for 98.30% of the volatile chemicals present in the orange, include 10 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 22 alcohols, 12 esters, 11 hydrocarbons and 34 terpenes. D-limonene was shown to be the predominant compound in fresh navel oranges. The results show that comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography provided reliable and comprehensive information on the aroma compounds in fresh navel oranges.

description: For the discovery of new antibiotic drugs to face the problem of microbial resistance, a series of fused pyrazoles such as pyrazolopyrimidines 15a–f, pyrazoloquinazolines 18a, b and pyrazolotriazines 20a, b was synthesized via the reaction of 5-aminopyrazoles 8a, b with 3-(dimethylamino)-1-aryl-prop-2-en-1-ones 9a–d, 2-((dimethylamino)methylene)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (16) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2), respectively. Finally, Schiff bases 22a–g were obtained by the condensation of 8a, b with aromatic aldehydes 21a–d. The chemical structure of the new compounds was confirmed by spectroscopy. The structure of 15 b was confirmed by X-ray crystallography analysis. All compounds were screened for antibacterial properties toward multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDRB).

description: The imprint that Gio Ponti left on the city of Naples is somewhat different from the well-known Milanese one, in fact it can be read as a twofold approach: on the one hand, there is an attempt to continue the debate around the Italian domus, which in the Mediterranean found new paths of development; on the other, his interventions are guided by the fascination towards what can be considered a ‘secondary architecture’ typology that is disseminated across the gulf. Ponti’s signature is to be found in four main documented projects, three hotels and one villa. Following a chronological order, there is a project for the Hotel San Michele at Anacapri, a result of a collaboration with Bernard Rudofsky in 1938. Fourteen years later, Ponti goes back to Naples with a project of its own, Villa Arata – later Grimaldi. He was further asked to refurbish the interior as well as the image of the Hotel Royal, whose original project carried the signature of engineer Fernando Chiaromonte. Last but not least, the Hotel Parco dei Principi, where the impeccable balance between architecture, pre-existence and landscape turned it into the most famous Neapolitan project. The essay concludes with an open question on how to maintain and preserve this singular and sensible approach that Ponti, as a Milanese-based architect, proposed for the Mediterranean.

description: Based on conservation laws for surface layer integrals for critical points of causal variational principles, it is shown how jet spaces can be endowed with an almost-complex structure. We analyze under which conditions the almost-complex structure can be integrated to a canonical complex structure. Combined with the scalar product expressed by a surface layer integral, we obtain a complex Hilbert space $\mathfrak{h}$. The Euler-Lagrange equations of the causal variational principle describe a nonlinear time evolution on $\mathfrak{h}$. Rewriting multilinear operators on $\mathfrak{h}$ as linear operators on corresponding tensor products and using a conservation law for a nonlinear surface layer integral, we obtain a linear norm-preserving time evolution on bosonic Fock spaces. The so-called holomorphic approximation is introduced, in which the dynamics is described by a unitary time evolution on the bosonic Fock space. The error of this approximation is quantified. Our constructions explain why and under which assumptions critical points of causal variational principles give rise to a second-quantized, unitary dynamics on Fock spaces.

description: We present the effects of resonator birefringence on the cavity-enhanced interfacing of quantum states of light and matter, including the first observation of single photons with a time-dependent polarisation state that evolves within their coherence time. A theoretical model is introduced and experimentally verified by the modified polarisation of temporally-long single photons emitted from a $^{87}$Rb atom coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity by a vacuum-stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (V-STIRAP) process. Further theoretical investigation shows how a change in cavity birefringence can both impact the atom-cavity coupling and engender starkly different polarisation behaviour in the emitted photons. With polarisation a key resource for encoding quantum states of light and modern micron-scale cavities particularly prone to birefringence, the consideration of these effects is vital to the faithful realisation of efficient and coherent emitter-photon interfaces for distributed quantum networking and communications.
