description: We present ProFit, a new code for Bayesian two-dimensional photometric galaxy profile modelling. ProFit consists of a low-level C++ library (libprofit), accessible via a command-line interface and documented API, along with high-level R (ProFit) and Python (PyProFit) interfaces (available at github.com/ICRAR/ libprofit, github.com/ICRAR/ProFit, and github.com/ICRAR/pyprofit respectively). R ProFit is also available pre-built from CRAN, however this version will be slightly behind the latest GitHub version. libprofit offers fast and accurate two- dimensional integration for a useful number of profiles, including Sersic, Core-Sersic, broken-exponential, Ferrer, Moffat, empirical King, point-source and sky, with a simple mechanism for adding new profiles. We show detailed comparisons between libprofit and GALFIT. libprofit is both faster and more accurate than GALFIT at integrating the ubiquitous Serrsic profile for the most common values of the Serrsic index n (0.5 < n < 8). The high-level fitting code ProFit is tested on a sample of galaxies with both SDSS and deeper KiDS imaging. We find good agreement in the fit parameters, with larger scatter in best-fit parameters from fitting images from different sources (SDSS vs KiDS) than from using different codes (ProFit vs GALFIT). A large suite of Monte Carlo-simulated images are used to assess prospects for automated bulge-disc decomposition with ProFit on SDSS, KiDS and future LSST imaging. We find that the biggest increases in fit quality come from moving from SDSS- to KiDS-quality data, with less significant gains moving from KiDS to LSST.

description: Let E be a quadratic extension of a totally real number field. We construct Stickelberger elements for Hilbert modular forms of parallel weight 2 in anticyclotomic extensions of E. Extending methods developed by Dasgupta and Spieß from the multiplicative group to an arbitrary one-dimensional torus we bound the order of vanishing of these Stickelberger elements from below and, in the analytic rank zero situation, we give a description of their leading terms via automorphic L-invariants. If the field E is totally imaginary, we use the p-adic uniformization of Shimura curves to show the equality between automorphic and arithmetic L-invariants. This generalizes a result of Bertolini and Darmon from the case that the ground field is the field of rationals to arbitrary totally real number fields.

description: Bilingualer Unterricht hat in Deutschland eine langjährige Tradition. Tatsächlich aber findet in der Literatur und auch bei der konkreten Umsetzung auf Schulebene Mathematik als bilinguales Sachfach oft keine Berücksichtigung. Der Mathematikunterricht bietet allerdings durchaus Möglichkeiten, sowohl sprachliche Anlässe als auch interkulturelle Bezüge zu integrieren. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Unterrichtssequenz vorgestellt, in der Schülerinnen und Schüler einer 8. Klasse eine Urlaubsreise in die USA planen. Dabei spielen unter anderem die unterschiedlichen Maßsysteme in Deutschland und den USA eine Rolle.

description: This dissertation examines Robin Boyd (1919-51), architect and writer up to the time he joined Roy Grounds and Frederick Romberg as a partner in 1953. The dissertation concentrates on his family background, training and war service which are of relevance to his writing and architectural design, and considers both the content and direction of his writing on architecture, and his early architectural design. From this it can be seen that many of the themes in his architecture and writing, particularly in The Australian Ugliness and The Great Great Australian Dream, are prefigured or fully developed by 1953 […]

Jedoch zeigen neue Studien insbesondere bei graphischnahen Lernumgebungen, dass auch der Gebrauch von Gesten einen Beitrag zur Wissenskonstruktion leistet (z.B. Reynolds & Reeves 2002). Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Fallstudie einer Masterarbeit vorgestellt. Diese untersucht, welchen Beitrag Gesten zum mathematischen Erkenntnisprozess bei arithmetisch-analytischen und somit graphisch-abstinenten Aufgaben leisten können.

description: Non-perturbative quantum-gravity effects can change the fate of black holes and make them bounce in a time scale shorter than the Hawking evaporation time. In this article, we show that this hypothesis can account for the GeV excess observed from the galactic center by the Fermi satellite. By carefully taking into account the secondary component due to the decay of unstable hadrons, we show that the model is fully self-consistent. This phenomenon presents a specific redshift-dependance that could allow to distinguish it from other astrophysical phenomena possibly contributing to the GeV excess.

description: Land water transition zones (LWTZ) exhibit physicochemical features, which in relation with the spectral sensitivity of the spaceborne sensor, signal to noise ratio of the satellite bands and orbit specifications impose limiting factors for the accuracy of derived inundation maps. Various approaches are implemented based on the degree of specialization of the applied mapping techniques. This study attempts a comparison across the various techniques used by water utilities for monitoring this dynamically changing land area. Visual interpretation of Sentinel-2 images over an isolines map, generated across years at the reservoir of Polyfytos in northern Greece, is compared with the computer-aided derivation of the Normalized Difference Wetness Index to showcase the benefits of multispectral information in fine tuning of the product. Automatic thresholding techniques, originating from computer vision, further enhance the discrimination capacity. Nevertheless, the spectral behavior of mixed land surface targets (e.g., random synthesis of land, water, and vegetation elements), resulting from the pixel size (i.e., the depicted area), in relation to the spectral sensitivity of the satellite onboard sensors, poses a challenge in accurately mapping the LWTZ land area. This is accounted merely to similar spectral behaviors of a) the mixed signal of a pixel at this area, in comparison with b) the synthesis of surrounding land objects’ reflection, i.e., the vegetative cover, shadowing effects, and anaglyph formations. Results indicate that overall accuracies may reach up to 98%; however, imbalanced classes’ representations on the landscape may showcase big discrepancies, when one looks at the producer’s or user’s accuracies. These are registered in this study across multiannual studies at various locations and discussed within the framework of the WQeMS project focusing on their minimization towards operational usage of the LWTZ maps from the water utilities’ needs.
"You have to speak it at least": language and identity maintenance among Australian migrant teenagers

description: Migration invariably results in the negotiation, reformulation and hybridisation of linguistic and cultural practices and feelings of ethnic identity. This thesis explores the negotiation process as experienced by twenty LS and second generation students (aged 15-18) from disparate ethnic backgrounds who attend the same Melbourne high school. Through questionnaires, interviews and participant observation over two years at Ferndale Secondary College, the study traces the how and why participants continue to use their ethnic languages in various aspects of their lives: in the home, at school, when consuming media and when socialising with fri ends. Since language is generally considered to be a central component of ethnic identity (Eastman 1984, Fishman 1991 Edwards 1994, Joseph 2004), a key interest of the study is what sort of language proficiency (if any) participants believe it is important to have in order to consider themselves a member of their ethnic group. It further asks to what degree a strong interest in language maintenance accompanies a strong desire to social ise with other co-ethnics or otherwise maintain a distinct ethnic identity.
A central finding of the study is that part icipants view conversational fluency in their ethnic language as integral to their sense of ethnic identi ty; however most see little reason to develop high-level ethnic language proficiency and only speak the ethnic language habitually with interlocutors (such as parents and grandparents) who have difficulty using English. Despite a strong preference for functioning in English, participants find numerous opportunities to use the ethnic language incidentally with their peers, from exchanging greeting and sharing secrets to singing karaoke and teaching friends of different backgrounds words and phrases of the ethnic language. In these ways the ethnic language continues to act as a valued marker of ethnic identity and helps build rapport with both co-ethnic peers and those from different ethnic backgrounds.[...]

These moves to overthrow him were instigated, in large part, by Sihanouk's second cousin, Prince Sirikmatak, who had managed to persuade the Prime Minister, General Lon Nol, to support the move. However although there was much support for the deposing of Sihanouk amongst the urban middle-class especially in Phnom Penh, there was nobody who could adequately lead the country as is slipped into a civil war between the new Government and the Sihanoukists with their new communist allies, the Khmer Rouge.

description: There is often an upsurge of humor inspired by tragic circumstances. Soon after the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, humorous posts about the pandemic spread massively on social media. This paper explores contemporary gender ideologies as portrayed in social media humor in light of the Coronavirus pandemic. In particular, this paper focuses on how gender stereotypes and ideologies are constructed and sustained through humor built upon gendered representations. The jokes, memes, and news items posted through social media platforms were analyzed using a Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis approach (FCDA). Data comprised memes and jokes sampled from Instagram, Facebook and Reddit. The findings reveal a complex configuration of factors, such as prevailing socio-cultural and ideological contexts, which, closely interwoven, form the tapestry of gender order and gender roles in the Moroccan society. The analysis revealed that sexist humor propagates baseless generalizations and gender stereotypes. It also amalgamates demeaning language with humor to communicate sexist antagonism. Finally, the study contends that while humor plays a strong role as a coping mechanism during a tragedy, it also enhances the subtle propelling of gender stereotypes that ultimately contribute to sustaining the current existing gender status quo.

description: Nowadays an exponential growth in data leads to a new paradigm, called fog computing provides a low latency realtime network access. It is easy to access and process our personal data or business information using cloud computing technologywhich provides huge cloud storage and a central cloud server but the major impediments are its high latency and security issues.Therefore fog computing technology plays a major role in serving the needs of real-time applications such as AI, IOT, and 5G. Thispaper describes a model of the three-tier architecture of fog computing and its network links. The exponential growth of multimediadata leads to the use of cloud storage is extremely expensive and not good for latency-sensitive applications. Fog computing facilityprovides high bandwidth and data mobility. Fogonomics business model is a cost-effective method provides all the cloudcapabilities to the end of the computing network but charges only for computational services so that we can save data transport costas well as processing costs. It improves technology and economics. This research study unveils that the addition of fog to the IOTnetworks comprehensively increases their capabilities and revenue potential.
COVID LESSONS ON INFORMATION LITERACY INSTRUCTION

description: This paper explores how the COVID pandemic, as well as other geopolitical events, highlighted the need for information literacy instruction in universities. I argue that teaching students to understand how corporatized information resources exist for profit is a cornerstone of helping transform them into responsible digital citizens and information-literate learners in the world. In this article, I explain what misinformation and disinformation are, then explore how our current information system spreads and nurtures this “disruptive communication” (Bennett & Livingston, 2021). Next, I provide examples of how academic library responded to the pandemic and sought to combat disruptive communication. This is contrasted with the catastrophic consequences witnessed worldwide due to mis-/disinformation. To underscore the paramount importance of this, I provide examples of the outcomes of mis-/disinformation campaigns—including an attempted coup d’état. Because we have witnessed the devastation that a lack of IL can engender, it is evident that it should therefore be included in all university courses. I provide a handful of recommendations for instructors, along with teaching resources and suggestions for further research.

description: This paper is based on the material of Section 4 and Appendix C in arXiv:1503.05523v6, which was excluded from the subsequent versions of arXiv:1503.05523. We present the definition of a dedualizing complex of bicomodules over a pair of cocoherent coassociative coalgebras $\mathcal C$ and $\mathcal D$. Given such a complex $\mathcal B^\bullet$, we construct an equivalence between the (bounded or unbounded) conventional, as well as absolute, derived categories of the abelian categories of left comodules over $\mathcal C$ and left contramodules over $\mathcal D$. Furthermore, we spell out the definition of a dedualizing complex of bisemimodules over a pair of semialgebras, and construct the related equivalence between the conventional or absolute derived categories of the abelian categories of semimodules and semicontramodules. Artinian, co-Noetherian, and cocoherent coalgebras are discussed as a preliminary material.

description: The competition between interactions in frustrated magnets allows a wide variety of new ground states, often exhibiting emergent physics and unique excitations. Expanding the suite of lattices available for study enhances our chances of finding exotic physics. Mn$_2$Sb$_2$O$_7$ forms in a chiral, kagome-based structure in which a fourth member is added to the kagome-plane triangles to form an armchair unit and link adjacent kagome planes. This structural motif may be viewed as intermediate between the triangles of the kagome network and the tetrahedra in the pyrochlore lattice. Mn$_2$Sb$_2$O$_7$ exhibits two distinct magnetic phase transitions, at 11.1 and 14.2K, at least one of which has a weak ferromagnetic component. The magnetic propagation vector does not change through the lower transition, suggesting a metamagnetic transition or a transition involving a multi-component order parameter. Although previously reported in the $P3_121$ space group, Mn$_2$Sb$_2$O$_7$ actually crystallizes in $P2$, which allows ferroelectricity, and we show clear evidence of magnetoelectric coupling indicative of multiferroic order. The quasi-two-dimensional `armchair-kagome' lattice presents a promising platform for probing chiral magnetism and the effect of dimensionality in highly frustrated systems.

REPRESENTATIONS OF TRADITIONAL HEALTH CARE DISCOURSE ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN MOROCCO: DR MOHAMED FAID’S DISCOURSE AS A CASE STUDY
Creators: name: Raqui, Oussama
Publisher: name: POLISSEMA – Revista de Letras do ISCAP
Year: 2022

description: This paper examines representations of traditional health care discourse propagated on social media by a nutritionist called “Dr Mohamed Faid” and other social actors in Morocco. The significant emergence and popularity of traditional healing discourse on social media during the upheavals of the pandemic challenged the discourse created by the sovereign power in Morocco and won the hearts of so many social media users. This study aims at uncovering the rules of production and distribution of such online discourse during covid-19 pandemic in Morocco. The data collection and analysis were based on a qualitative approach consisting of grounded theory and multimodal critical discourse analysis. The data was collected from social media platforms based on the honeycomb framework of social media and a three-layer model of data thickening. The data collected was analysed following a process of constant comparative analysis for coding and category development. In the same vein, multimodal critical discourse analysis was used to cater for the semiotic choices, both lexical and visual, of the analysed discourses. The results of the study reveal that this discourse of traditional health care draws largely on religious beliefs of the Muslim community and popular culture and that this discourse may stand in opposition to the scientific discourse or at times be complementary to it. This discourse, as it can be argued, is culturally conservative and can be easily fuelled by conspiracy theories in the times of uncertainty, fear and crisis.

description: We calculate the electron recombination rates with target ions W$^{q+}$, $q = 18$ -- $25$, as functions of electron energy and electron temperature (i.e. the rates integrated over the Maxwellian velocity distribution). Comparison with available experimental data for W$^{18+}$, W$^{19+}$, and W$^{20+}$ is used as a test of our calculations. Our predictions for W$^{21+}$, W$^{22+}$, W$^{23+}$, W$^{24+}$, and W$^{25+}$ (where the experimental data are not available) may be used for plasma modelling in thermonuclear reactors. The results for the temperature dependent rates for each ion are fitted with the standard analytical expressions to make them easy to use. All of these ions have an open electron $f$-shell and have an extremely dense spectrum of chaotic many-electron compound resonances which enhance the recombination rates by 2-3 orders of magnitude in comparison with the direct electron recombination. Conventional dielectronic recombination theory is not directly applicable in this case. Instead, we developed a statistical theory based on the properties of chaotic eigenstates. This theory describes a multi-electronic recombination (extension of the dielectronic recombination) via many-excited-electron compound resonances.

description: Morocco adopted strong health security measures to confront early on the global outbreak of coronavirus. However, like other middle-income countries the health emergency and lockdown strategy has resulted in a substantial economic hardship and unemployment increase. To face this problem of higher unemployment rates, mainly among young graduates, Morocco has further promoted an already adopted strategy to create multiple investment opportunities to develop the “entrepreneurial spirit” among students. Higher education institutions have been called, hence, to respond to and support this post- Covid 19 initiative. In this respect, the aim of this paper is to report the results of an action research project on the integration of entrepreneurial soft skills activities in the English curriculum to help engineering students of the National School of Applied Sciences of Fes acquire the essential skills they need for a better professional integration as future entrepreneurs and initiators of innovative projects. At the end of this study, the participants had to answer a survey questionnaire on their perceptions of this teaching/ learning program. The results reveal a positive attitude of the respondents and stress the importance of incorporating learning activities in English classes that enhance soft skills. The results also emphasize some recommendations on the need for students to take part in on-site training by mentors in the workplace during their internship to have a chance to learn from genuine first-hand experiences.

The Publishing Activities of Thomas C. Lothian

description: This thesis examines a Melbourne publishing business which commenced with the public.s:tion, by a young publishers' representative, Thomas Lothian, of a small booklet of verse in December 1905. The invest~gation ends at 1945, after which Thomas Lothian prepared to withdraw from active management of the business to make way for his sons.
During this period the publishing business passed through phases of expansion and contraction. At a time when little publishing was being done in Australia, Thomas Lothian's entry into the field quickly made him the focus of many authors' hopes. The period from 1906, and especially from 1907, until the end of 1908, was one of growth so rapid as to overstretch his powers to control it.
From 1909 he exercised great caution, concentrating on books the costs of which were covered in advance by author's subsidy, subscription, or other means. In 1913, he planned to extend his educational publishing and to produce art books. Both projects were interrupted by the war which, in throwing his business of representing British publishers into disarray, and restricting his access to credit from those on whom he relied, led to the formation of the Lothian Book Publishing Co. Pty. Ltd. to assist in financing current works and to make it possible to expand production at a time of reduced competition from abroad. An unsuccessful attempt was made before the war, and more strenuously during the war, to introduce his publications into Britain. [...]
Identifying water quality risks and modelling intervention strategies (REACH Policy brief)
Creators: name: Hossain, M.A.

description: There is a serious problem of water pollution in central Dhaka, in the Turag-Tongi-Balu River System. Dissolved Oxygen is close to zero in the dry season, there is very high organic pollution loading, as well as high ammonia and large numbers of pathogens in the water. Factories along the river discharge pollutants with dangerous contaminants, runoff from waste tips is a serious problem and there is agricultural nutrient pollution from the upper reaches of the river. People using the water for drinking, washing clothes, bathing and vegetable production face different and varying health risks.

In this study, a baseline survey of water chemistry and pathogens has been undertaken and mathematical models of the rivers set up. The models are being used to assess hydrochemical processes in the river and also evaluate alternative strategies for policy and the management of the pollution issues.
Two algorithms for solving systems of inclusion problems

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: The goal of this paper is to present two algorithms for solving systems of inclusion problems, with all component of the systems being a sum of two maximal monotone operators. The algorithms are variants of the forward-backward splitting method and one being a hybrid with the alternating projection method. They consist of approximating the solution sets involved in the problem by separating halfspaces which are a well-studied strategy. The schemes contain two part, the first one is an explicit Armijo-type search in the spirit of the extragradient-like methods for variational inequalities. The second part is the projection step, being this the main difference between the algorithms. While the first algorithm computes the projection onto the intersection of the separating halfspaces, the second choose one component of the system and project onto the separating halfspace of this case. In the iterative process, the forward-backward operator is computed once per inclusion problem, representing a relevant computational saving if compared with similar algorithms in the literature. The convergence analysis of the proposed methods is given assuming monotonicity in all operators, without Lipschitz continuity assumption. We also present some numerical experiments.

The Preaching of Modern Feminine Muslimness in Contemporary Indonesian Islamic Fiction

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 200405 Language in Culture and Society (Sociolinguistics)
subject: FOS: Languages and literature
subject: 200516 Indonesian Literature

description: The thesis analyses the construction of a modern identity of Muslim women through the representation of "feminine Muslimness" in two contemporary Indonesian Islamic novels, Ayat-Ayat Cinta (The Verses of Love) and Perempuan Berkalung Sorban (A Woman with a Turban Shawl). Framed in a theoretical perspective of Islamic feminism as an immanent critique-or a critique from within-of Islam, the study explores diverging ways Islamic fiction proselytises feminine identity of Muslim women as a critical component of Islamic reform. Despite its claims to contemporary relevance, Ayat-Ayat Cinta actually maintains confinement of feminine piety within the traditional concept of submissive wifehood and motherhood. In avoiding explicit endorsement of these patriarchal doctrines, which may appear intimidating to today's generation of modern Muslim women, the novel tactfully portrays women's subordination as voluntary, self-initiated expressions of women's piety instead of a doctrine asserted by men. In contrast, Perempuan Berkafung Sorban pushes for a new, more critical direction of Islamic preaching, or dakwah, as a reform-oriented movement that comes from within the Islamic realm. The novel propagates Islam not only by criticising outdated Islamic tradition but also by calling for the enthronement of reason in the interpretation of Islam as an evaluative instrument against ideology that distorts its values. This extended form of dakwah allows women room to perpetually revisit their understanding of their faith and dynamically negotiate their identities that are located at a complex intersection of social, cultural and religious norms.

On timelike supersymmetric solutions of gauged minimal 5-dimensional supergravity

description: We analyze the timelike supersymmetric solutions of minimal gauged 5-dimensional supergravity for the case in which the Kähler base manifold admits a holomorphic isometry and depends on two real functions satisfying a simple second-order differential equation. Using this general form of the base space, the equations satisfied by the building blocks of the solutions become of, at most, fourth degree and can be solved by simple polynomic ansatzs. In this way we construct two 3-parameter families of solutions that contain almost all the timelike supersymmetric solutions of this theory with one angular momentum known so far and a few more: the (singular) supersymmetric Reissner-Nordström-AdS solutions, the three exact supersymmetric solutions describing the three near-horizon geometries found by Gutowski and Reall, three 1-parameter asymptotically-AdS$_{5}$ black-hole solutions with those three near-horizon geometries (Gutowski and Reall's black hole being one of them), three generalizations of the Gödel universe and a few potentially homogenous solutions. A key rôle in finding these solutions is played by our ability to write AdS$_{5}$'s Kähler base space ($\overline{\mathbb{CP}}^{2}$ or SU$(1,2)/$U$(2)$) is three different, yet simple, forms associated to three different isometries. Furthermore, our ansatz for the Kähler metric also allows us to study the dimensional compactification of the theory and its solutions in a systematic way.

description: Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939), a prolific writer of novels, history, criticism, poetry and semi-autobiographical cultural and philosophical reminiscence cannot, except in the most general sense, be seen whole. The complexity of his private life, the range of his occupations (author, editor, farmer, soldier, professor) and the daunting list of over seventy publications imposes its strains on the reader who wishes to discover a focal point in Ford's work.

description: We present results for the isotriplet and isosinglet tensor form factors of the nucleon in the relativistic confined quark model. The model allows us to calculate not only their normalizations at $Q^2=0$ and the related tensor charges, but also the full $Q^2$-dependence. Our results are compared to existing data and predictions of other theoretical approaches. We stress the importance of these form factors for the phenomenology of physics beyond the Standard Model.
