The Importance of Male Mentoring Programs for Male Youth: A Comparative Study of Chicago and Washington D.C.
Creators: name: Johnson, Nathan
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: youth development
subject: male mentoring programs
subject: Washington DC

description: Mentoring programs exist across the United States to provide navigation and guidance for developing youth. Mentoring as a practicecan either consist of a one-on-one mentor to mentee relationship or a group mentoring method where one mentor oversees a group of mentees. I researched ten male-to-male mentoring programs in Chicago and Washington D.C. to understand their mentoring practices and to compare them both within their own city and between the two cities. I conducted qualitative interviews with mentors and scholars on fatherhood from the Chicagoand Washington D.C.areas to understand how their mentoring practicesvary. This studydiscovered what certain programs believed to be the most effective means of mentoring, who these programs cater to, and how the youth benefit from mentors. Through my qualitative interviews, I have concluded that these male mentoring programs are not limited to but can especially benefit underserved populations. This is possibly of particular benefit toyouth growing up without resident fathers in their lives. This study concludes with a discussion of the positivesand negatives of one-on-one and group mentoring programs in Chicago and Washington D.C.This study also demonstrateshow these programs can be better used to benefitthe population that they serve. Aa a result of my findings, I recommend the implementation of fatherhood initiatives to aid the most vulnerable population targeted bymentoring programs. Additionally, I recommendthe utilization of school spaces to increase accessibility and publicity for mentoring programs. Future directions include studyingother underserved populations around the nation to understand how mentoring programs operate within those areas. Furthermore, alongitudinal cohort study could be initiated thatfollowsthe mentees’lives to further understand the positive impacts of male mentoring programs.

description: Cost overruns in transport infrastructure projects know no geographical limits, overruns are a global phenomenon. Nevertheless, the size of cost overruns varies with location. In the Netherlands, cost overruns appear to be smaller compared to the rest of the world. This paper tests whether Dutch projects perform significantly better in terms of cost overruns than other geographical areas. It is concluded that for road and tunnel projects, the Netherlands performs similarly to the rest of the world. For rail projects, Dutch projects perform considerably better, with projects having significantly lower percentage cost overruns in real terms (11%) compared to projects in other North West European countries (27%) and in other geographical areas (44%). Bridge projects also have considerably smaller cost overruns: 7% in the Netherlands compared with 45% in other NW European countries and 27% in other geographical areas. In explaining cost overruns, geography should therefore clearly be taken into consideration.
Loose Squares: Towards a New Model of Informal Work on the CTA

description: “Hustlers,” or those who sell often second-hand or homemade goods without licensing or approvals, play a large role in the informal economy, especially in American cities like Chicago. While literature on the informal economy is expansive, there has been relatively little empirical work done on from the perspective of street peddlers in developed countries–creating gaps in the conventional theoretical models of informal work. Using qualitative data taken from interviews with active participants in the “hustling economy” on Chicago’s CTA, I argue that conventional theoretical models of the informal economy, namely the dualist, legalist, and voluntarist,perspectives are insufficient in explaining the complexity and nature of CTA hustlers’ informal work. Using empirical qualitative data, I develop a framework for a theoretical model that addresses the large heterogeneity found in CTA hustlers’ perceptions toward work, their structural and environmental interactions, and their relationship with formalization procedures pushed by the State. This new model, centered around economic and capitalistic failure, serves to broaden our theoretical and empirical understanding of informal work and street hustling in urban American contexts.

description: The gun control debate rages in America today, as it has since the early 20th century. After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, this debate increased in urgency and ferocity. In the years since that tragedy, the debate has often been a major domestic issue, one that refuses to quietly go away. Huge lobbying interests on both sides of the issue have recently been locked in political and ideological battle in the legislature, in the courts, and in the media. The focus of these arguments has ranged from the definition of the rights provided by the Second Amendment to the ownership of "Saturday Night Specials," but nothing in this debate has captured the imagination and the focus of national attention more than the recent "assault rifle" controversy.

description: The metallicity is a critical parameter that affects the correct determination fundamental characteristics stellar cluster and has important implications in Galactic and Stellar evolution research. Fewer than 10 % of the 2174 currently catalog open clusters have their metallicity determined in the literature. In this work we present a method for estimating the metallicity of open clusters via non-subjective isochrone fitting using the cross-entropy global optimization algorithm applied to UBV photometric data. The free parameters distance, reddening, age, and metallicity simultaneously determined by the fitting method. The fitting procedure uses weights for the observational data based on the estimation of membership likelihood for each star, which considers the observational magnitude limit, the density profile of stars as a function of radius from the center of the cluster, and the density of stars in multi-dimensional magnitude space. We present results of [Fe/H] for nine well-studied open clusters based on 15 distinct UBV data sets. The [Fe/H] values obtained in the ten cases for which spectroscopic determinations were available in the literature agree, indicating that our method provides a good alternative to determining [Fe/H] by using an objective isochrone fitting. Our results show that the typical precision is about 0.1 dex.

description: Tasmania was established in the nineteenth century as a large open-air prison. The constant supervision of convicts under sentence produced a wealth of information on the life-courses of convicts. Using an interdisciplinary mixed methods approach, the patterns of crime and marriage are studied for 2,793 Irish convict women who were transported to Tasmania between 1840 and 1853. This thesis shows the importance of access, value, and desire for marriage. Moreover, the character of both men and women are found to have an impact on recidivism in Tasmania.

description: We present first results from a new parton shower event generator, Deductor. Anticipating a need for an improved treatment of parton color and spin, the structure of the generator is based on the quantum density matrix in color and spin space. So far, Deductor implements only a standard spin-averaged treatment of spin in parton splittings. Although Deductor implements an improved treatment of color, in this paper we present results in the standard leading color approximation so that we can compare to the generator Pythia. The algorithms used incorporate a virtuality based shower ordering parameter and massive initial state bottom and charm quarks.

description: The visual A component of the Gliese 586AB system is a double-lined spectroscopic binary consisting of two cool stars with the exceptional orbital eccentricity of 0.976. Such an extremely eccentric system may be important for our understanding of low-mass binary formation. We present a total of 598 high-resolution echelle spectra from our robotic facility STELLA from 2006-2012 which we used to compute orbital elements of unprecedented accuracy. The orbit constrains the eccentricity to 0.97608+/-0.00004 and the orbital period to 889.8195+/-0.0003d. The masses of the two components are 0.87+/-0.05 Msun and 0.58+/-0.03 Msun if the inclination is 5+/-1.5degr as determined from adaptive-optics images, that is good to only 6% due to the error of the inclination although the minimum masses reached a precision of 0.3%. The flux ratio Aa:Ab in the optical is betwee n 30:1 in Johnson-B and 11:1 in I. Radial velocities of the visual B-component (K0-1V) appear constant to within 130 m/s over six years. Sinusoidal modulations of Teff of Aa with an amplitude of apprx 55 K are seen with the orbital period. Component Aa appears warmest at periastron and coolest at apastron, indicating atmospheric changes induced by the high orbital eccentricity. No light variations larger than approximately 4 mmag are detected for A, while a photometric period of 8.5+/-0.2 d with an amplitude of 7 mmag is discovered for the active star B, which we interpret to be its rotation period. We estimate an orbital period of approx 50,000 yr for the AB system. The most likely age of the AB system is >=2 Gyr, while the activity of the B component, if it were a single star, would imply 0.5 Gyr. Both Aa and B are matched with single-star evolutionary tracks of their respective mass.

description: The discovery of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at well-defined interfaces between insulating complex oxides provides the opportunity for a new generation of all-oxide electronics. Particularly, the 2DEG at the interface between two perovskite insulators represented by the formula of ABO3, such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, has attracted significant attention. In recent years, progresses have been made to decipher the puzzle of the origin of interface conduction, to design new types of oxide interfaces, and to improve the interfacial carrier mobility significantly. These achievements open the door to explore fundamental as well as applied physics of complex oxides. Here, we review our recent experimental work on metallic and insulating interfaces controlled by interfacial redox reactions in SrTiO3-based heterostructures. Due to the presence of oxygen-vacancies at the SrTiO3 surface, metallic conduction can be created at room temperature in perovskite-type interfaces when the overlayer oxide ABO3 involves Al, Ti, Zr, or Hf elements at the B-sites. Furthermore, relying on interface-stabilized oxygen vacancies, we have created a new type of 2DEG at the heterointerface between SrTiO3 and a spinel γ-Al2O3 epitaxial film with compatible oxygen ions sublattices. The spinel/perovskite oxide 2DEG exhibits an electron mobility exceeding 100,000 cm2V-1s-1, more than one order of magnitude higher than those of hitherto investigated perovskite-type interfaces. Our findings pave the way for design of high-mobility all-oxide electronic devices and open a route towards studies of mesoscopic physics with complex oxides.

description: User interface (UI) is point of interaction between user and computer software. The success and failure of a software application depends on User Interface Design (UID). Possibility of using a software, easily using and learning are issues influenced by UID. The UI is significant in designing of educational software (e-Learning). Principles and concepts of learning should be considered in addition to UID principles in UID for e-learning. In this regard, to specify the logical relationship between education, learning, UID and multimedia at first we readdress the issues raised in previous studies. It is followed by examining the principle concepts of e-learning and UID. Then, we will see how UID contributes to e-learning through the educational software built by authors. Also we show the way of using UI to improve learning and motivating the learners and to improve the time efficiency of using e-learning software.

description: Chemotactic cells establish cell polarity in the absence of external guidance cues. Such self-organized polarity is induced by spontaneous symmetry breaking in the intracellular activities, which produces an emergent memory effect associated with slow-changing mode. Therefore, spontaneously established polarity should play a pivotal role in efficient chemotaxis. In this study, we develop a model of chemotactic cell migration that demonstrates the connection between intracellular polarity and chemotactic accuracy. Spontaneous polarity formation and gradient sensing are described by a stochastic differential equation. We demonstrate that the direction of polarity persists over a characteristic time that is predicted to depend on the chemoattractant concentration. Next, we theoretically derive the chemotactic accuracy as a function of both the gradient sensing ability and the characteristic time of polarity direction. The results indicate that the accuracy can be improved by the polarity. Furthermore, the analysis of chemotactic accuracy suggests that accuracy is maximized at some optimal responsiveness to extracellular perturbations. To obtain the model parameters, we studied the correlation time of random cell migration in cell tracking analysis of Dictyostelium cells. As predicted, the persistence time depended on the chemoattractant concentration. From the fitted parameters, we inferred that polarized Dictyosteium cells can respond optimally to a chemical gradient. Chemotactic accuracy was almost 10 times larger than can be achieved by non-polarized gradient sensing. Using the obtained parameter values, we show that polarity also improves the dynamic range of chemotaxis.

description: The parton splittings in a parton shower are ordered according to an ordering variable, for example the transverse momentum of the daughter partons relative to the direction of the mother, the virtuality of the splitting, or the angle between the daughter partons. We analyze the choice of the ordering variable and conclude that one particular choice has the advantage of factoring softer splittings from harder splittings graph by graph in a physical gauge.

Community colleges

description: Since 2010, online college course enrollment has increased by 29 percent. Currently, 6.7 million students—or roughly one third of all college students—are enrolled in online courses. Community colleges in particular have embraced online education as a way to better serve their large numbers of nontraditional students, many of whom juggle multiple responsibilities. In 2008, 97 percent of two-year colleges were offering online courses—compared with only 66 percent of all postsecondary institutions. Despite this rapid growth in online education, little is known about the effectiveness of online courses for community college students. Over the past two years, CCRC has sought to fill this gap in knowledge by conducting studies of online course outcomes at two large statewide community college systems, one in a southern state and one in a western state. Student outcomes in online courses trail considerably behind those in face-to-face courses. In
order to gain insight into why this might be, CCRC undertook a series of studies that examined 23
high-demand, entry-level online courses at two community colleges in one state. CCRC researchers observed the online courses, reviewed course materials, and interviewed course instructors as well as 46 students who were enrolled in at least one of the courses. Together, these studies shed light on the fact that it is important for online instructors to actively and visibly engage with students in the teaching and learning process—perhaps with even greater intentionality than in face-to-face courses. In interviews, online students said that they placed a high value on interaction with their instructors, and a quantitative analysis indicates that higher levels of interpersonal interaction were correlated with better student performance in online courses. Drawing on our research, the following guide discusses how instructors can increase their presence in online courses in ways that may contribute to improved student retention and performance. It also describes a case study of a course in which the instructor used some basic interactive technologies to create a meaningful instructor presence.

description: In this paper we consider a method of solving optimal stopping problems in discrete and continuous time based on their dual representation. A novel and generic simulation-based optimization algorithm not involving nested simulations is proposed and studied. The algorithm involves the optimization of a genuinely penalized dual objective functional over a class of adapted martingales. We prove the convergence of the proposed algorithm and demonstrate its efficiency for optimal stopping problems arising in option pricing.

description: Two new methods to observe neutron radioactivity are presented. Both methods rely on the production and decay of the parent nucleus in flight. The relative velocity measured between the neutron and the fragment is sensitive to half-lives between ~1 and ~100 ps for the Decay in Target (DiT) method. The transverse position measurement of the neutron in the Decay in a Magnetic Field (DiMF) method is sensitive to half-lives between 10 ps and 1 ns.

description: The MVN project (the Dutch abbreviation stands for Medieval Miscellanies from the Low Countries) is finalizing the online publication of a number of manuscripts. These manuscripts will be accessible both by page and by text. The text display itself can be either page-oriented, mimicking the layout on the folium, or text-oriented, based on metrical (verse) lines. Manuscript lines and verse lines are independently numbered. In my talk I will discuss, based on a number of experiments, how this functionality can be replicated in TEI Publisher. TEI Publisher is a successful and low-entry open source publication environment for TEI documents.It is hoped the example will lower the barriers for other projects attempting similar functionality.

description: We present the NLO QCD corrections to the production of a photon pair in association with one jet, where the photons are stemming from graviton decay, within models of large extra dimensions. Our results for the loop amplitudes are produced with the program GOSAM for automated one-loop calculations. We show distributions for several observables for 4, 5 and 6 extra dimensions and demonstrate that the differential K-factors are far from being uniform.

Adverse Effects of State-building on Democracy in Georgia

description: "The Freedom House letter suggests that there is a strong correlation between democratic deficits in Georgia and President Saakashvili’s ability to go to war with Russia. The letter’s implication is obvious: had more robust democratic institutions been in place, the war between Russia and Georgia might not have occurred. In this paper, I argue that U.S. government assistance to Georgia since 2003 has failed to support robust democratization, focusing too much on strengthening the executive branch of the Georgian government. Once Saakashvili took office, Washington reduced funding to critical democratization programs, especially those that supported independent media and civil society organizations. This shift in U.S. assistance, which contributed to the slowdown of democratic consolidation in Georgia, demonstrates that U.S. aid is critical to Georgia’s political development."--from pages 69-70

description: This is the second of a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). It extends the first two-year catalog by two more years, resulting in an overall list of 953 GBM triggered GRBs. The intention of the GBM GRB catalog is to provide information to the community on the most important observables of the GBM detected GRBs. For each GRB the location and main characteristics of the prompt emission, the duration, peak flux and fluence are derived. The latter two quantities are calculated for the 50 - 300 keV energy band, where the maximum energy release of GRBs in the instrument reference system is observed and also for a broader energy band from 10 - 1000 keV, exploiting the full energy range of GBMs low-energy detectors. Furthermore, information is given on the settings and modifications of the triggering criteria and exceptional operational conditions during years three and four in the mission. This second catalog is an official product of the Fermi GBM science team, and the data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC).

Indigenous Movements and Constitutional Reform in Ecuador and Bolivia

subject: Indigenous peoples--Politics and government
subject: Constitutional law

description: "There can be no doubt that the last several years have been characterized by an unprecedented level of mobilization at the state level against reigning neoliberal development orthodoxy in South America. This has taken a wide variety of forms, with moderate social-democratic left governments who respect existing institutional frameworks arising in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile, and more radical, populist governments taking power in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador. The leaders of these latter three countries have used their popular mandates to institute greater societal changes, resting their legacies on new constitutions that would restructure the power balance of their society in important ways. Bolivia and Ecuador, the two countries considered by this study, are unique in their paths toward constitutional change, insofar as wide-ranging constitutional reforms have always been an integral demand of their powerful indigenous movements."--from page 40

description: "What a time to ask for more money. The Israeli government under the leadership of Yitzhak Shamir, riding high on the wave of good-will earned for allowing Israelis to suffer over forty Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War, should have had an easier time in securing ten billion dollars in loan guarantees to alleviate the strain of supporting 1,000 new Israeli citizens a day. The flood of Soviet Jews into Israel was and still is considered an essential infusion of new lifeblood into the system. In just over two years, over 350,000 Soviet Jews have emigrated, in addition to the tens of thousands of Ethiopian Jews airlifted at great expense. What better time, rather what more essential time, to ask for loan guarantees from the United States than now, when the realization of so many dreams for freedom are coming true?"--from page 11

Compression of unitary rank--structured matrices to CMV-like shape with an application to polynomial rootfinding

description: This paper is concerned with the reduction of a unitary matrix U to CMV-like shape. A Lanczos--type algorithm is presented which carries out the reduction by computing the block tridiagonal form of the Hermitian part of U, i.e., of the matrix U+U^H. By elaborating on the Lanczos approach we also propose an alternative algorithm using elementary matrices which is numerically stable. If U is rank--structured then the same property holds for its Hermitian part and, therefore, the block tridiagonalization process can be performed using the rank--structured matrix technology with reduced complexity. Our interest in the CMV-like reduction is motivated by the unitary and almost unitary eigenvalue problem. In this respect, finally, we discuss the application of the CMV-like reduction for the design of fast companion eigensolvers based on the customary QR iteration.
