title: Essays on Fertility Related Issues in East Asia
Creators: name: Li, Ji
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2025

description: This dissertation is divided into three interconnected chapters, each addressing a specific aspect of how institutional and cultural factors shape demographic and socioeconomic outcomes, focusing primarily on China and the broader East Asian region. Chapter 1, titled "Born with Burden? The Effect of Family-Planning Above-quota Sanctions on Children's Education in Rural China," investigates how the above-quota sanctions imposed by China's coercive family planning policies affect the educational outcomes of children in rural areas. It highlights the severe financial and non-financial penalties faced by families who exceeded their birth quotas, particularly low-income households, and examines the trade-off between human capital investment and the burden of sanctions. This chapter contributes to the literature by demonstrating that while family planning policies may have promoted human capital accumulation through reduced family sizes, they also disadvantaged over-quota households, especially in terms of children's education. Chapter 2, "Beyond Policy: Parental Preference and Fertility Behavior under China's Coercive Family Planning Regime," shifts focus to the deeply rooted cultural phenomenon of son preference in China. It examines how this preference interacts with family planning policies to influence fertility behaviors and the intra-household allocation of resources. This chapter builds on the finding that son-biased fertility-stopping behavior is prevalent, with parents continuing to have children until their desired gender composition, especially sons, is achieved. This chapter reveals that son preference, combined with the coercive family planning policies, reinforces gender disparities in educational outcomes, particularly in households that violate policy mandates. Chapter 3, "Education Competition and Ultra-Low Fertility in East Asia," extends the analysis beyond China to explore the broader context of East Asia, where countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan also face persistently low fertility rates. The chapter focuses on the role of education competition and its influence on family formation behaviors. It argues that the intense competition for educational success, driven by Confucian values, high-stakes entrance exams, and rising income inequality, has significantly contributed to the region's ultra-low fertility rates. The high financial burden of education, particularly shadow education and private schooling, discourages parents from having more children. This chapter integrates Becker's Quantity-Quality (Q-Q) trade-off model with a competitive education framework to explain how the educational competition reduces fertility in East Asian societies. It also discusses potential policy interventions to alleviate the competitive pressures on families and promote higher fertility rates.

description: About one-fourth of the universe is thought to consist of dark matter. Yet there is no clear understanding about the nature of these particles. Commonly discussed dark matter candidates includes the so called WIMPs or weakly interacting massive particles with masses from about 10GeV to 1TeV. These particles can gravitate to form a new class of objects in dark matter halos or around the galactic centre. We study in some detail many properties of these objects; which are dark matter dominated and bound by their self gravity; their formation and possibilities of their detection. Implications of the presence of such objects for star formation are also discussed. These objects could provide the possibility of forming primordial black holes distinct from the usual Hawking black holes and they could also provide a scenario for short duration gamma ray bursts, avoiding the baryon load problem.

description: The precise control of complex quantum systems promises numerous technological applications including digital quantum computing. The complexity of such devices renders the certification of their correct functioning a challenge. To address this challenge, numerous methods were developed in the last decade. In this tutorial, we explain prominent protocols for certifying the physical layer of quantum devices described by quantum states and processes. Such protocols are particularly important in the development of near-term devices. Specifically, we discuss methods of direct quantum-state certification, direct-fidelity estimation, shadow-fidelity estimation, direct quantum-process certification, randomized benchmarking, and cross-entropy benchmarking. Moreover, we provide an introduction to powerful mathematical methods, which are widely used in quantum-information theory, in order to derive theoretical guarantees for the protocols.

description: This literature review was aimed at analyzing whether stallion husbandry in groups is possible and desirable or poses risks. This was determined on the basis of different studies in order to be able to give practical recommendations from the viewpoint of animal welfare. Consequently, 50 different sources were analyzed, as well as observations of an experiment of the Swiss National Stud on the subject of change from single-stallion to group husbandry and its influence on animal welfare. The results revealed that stallion husbandry in groups is possible but still rarely practiced. It was found that 6% of stallions in 2003, more than 11% in 2012, and nearly 23% of the stallions in 2015 were kept in groups. Furthermore, studies showed that the still widespread individual husbandry of stallions has a negative impact on psyche and body health. Almost half of all stallions showed undesirable patterns of behavior, mostly stallions in individual housing. In addition, many of the latter stallions had problems with their respiratory, digestive, and musculoskeletal systems, which improved when the husbandry conditions of the horses were changed, with the exception of the problems with the digestive system. Conversion into group husbandry is possible, as revealed by an experiment by the Swiss National Stud with a socialization of active breeding stallions outside the breeding season. Therefore, the widespread fear of serious injuries for stallions housed in groups was refuted and the aggressive behavior of the stallions decreased rapidly. Success rates for group husbandry are influenced by the individual character of the stallion, previous experience of the stallion, changes in the group, qualification and management of the farm, and organization of the group housing and husbandry system. This enables species-appropriate husbandry in groups while also considering animal welfare without stress, disadvantages, and serious injuries for stallions.

description: In the past two decades, metal fluorides have gained importance in the field of heterogenous catalysis of bond activation reaction, e.g., hydrofluorination. One of the most investigated metal fluorides is AlF3. Together with its chlorine-doped analogon aluminiumchlorofluoride (AlClxF3−x, x = 0.05–0.3; abbreviated ACF), it has attracted much attention due to its application in catalysis. Various surface models for α-AlF3 and their chlorinated analogues (as representatives of amorphous ACF) are investigated with respect to their Lewis acidity of the active centres. First-principle density functional theory (DFT) methods with dispersion correction are used to determine the adsorption structure and energy of the probe molecules CO and NH3. The corresponding vibrational frequency shift agrees well with the measured values. With this insight we predict the local structure of the active sites and can clarify the importance of secondary interactions to the local anionic surrounding of the catalytic site.

description: This study presents a general outline of the Qitai radio telescope (QTT) project. Qitai, the site of the telescope, is a county of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, located in the east Tianshan Mountains at an elevation of about 1800 m. The QTT is a fully steerable, Gregorian type telescope with a standard parabolic main reflector of 110 m diameter. The QTT has adopted an um-brella support, homology-symmetric lightweight design. The main reflector is active so that the deformation caused by gravity can be corrected. The structural design aims to ultimately allow high-sensitivity observations from 150 MHz up to 115 GHz. To satisfy the requirements for early scientific goals, the QTT will be equipped with ultra-wideband receivers and large field-of-view mul-ti-beam receivers. A multi-function signal-processing system based on RFSoC and GPU processor chips will be developed. These will enable the QTT to operate in pulsar, spectral line, continuum and Very Long Baseline Interferometer (VLBI) observing modes. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio frequency interference (RFI) control techniques are adopted throughout the system design. The QTT will form a world-class observational platform for the detection of low-frequency (nanoHertz) gravitational waves through pulsar timing array (PTA) techniques, pulsar surveys, the discovery of binary black-hole systems, and exploring dark matter and the origin of life in the universe.

Notes
This species is vulnerable according to the IUCN European Red List of Hoverflies (Vujić et al. 2022). It was recorded in the 19 th century (Sommaggio 2007) on a coniferous plantation at low altitude in Stupinigi Park (Fig. 3), but a recent attempt made by the authors failed to find it in the same place. A specimen was collected by Malaise trap in a subalpine pastured grassland in Valasco Valley (CN) during the second year of a survey concerning the effect of grazing on hoverfly assemblages. Other observations that took place regularly in the same year at higher altitudes (2040 m a. s. l.) on a senescent coniferous plant have led to the observation of a single Brachypalpus valgus specimen.

description: Public administrations are designed towards efficient and effective problem solving. A division of work along the various issues of public policy-making is constitutive for most administrations. With the recent demands to develop comprehensive transformative environmental policies, new tasks and requirements arise, both for individual officers as well as administrative organizations. Two central questions emerge in this context: How do officers and public policy administrations cope with transformation processes and what competencies are needed for shaping transformations? Based on a comprehensive literature review on policies for transformation, organizational learning, and education for sustainable development, we present a concept for transformative literacy. We explored how this concept resonates with officers from the Ministry for the Environment and from the Environmental Protection Agency in Germany. To this end, we conducted 17 qualitative interviews with officers from various departments and levels of hierarchy. The analysis reveals four different types of actors with distinct perspectives regarding their own role and theories of societal and political change. We conclude that a collaborative mode among these types of actors to address the challenges of shaping transformations to sustainability can mobilize additional capacities by making use of their complementary skills and resources. The article suggests that this should be reflected in organizational reforms and in training programs for political administration.

description: Background: The MeroRisk-calculator, an easy-to-use tool to determine the risk of meropenem target non-attainment after standard dosing (1000 mg; q8h), uses a patient’s creatinine clearance and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the pathogen. In clinical practice, however, the MIC is rarely available. The objectives were to evaluate the MeroRisk-calculator and to extend risk assessment by including general pathogen sensitivity data. Methods: Using a clinical routine dataset (155 patients, 891 samples), a direct data-based evaluation was not feasible. Thus, in step 1, the performance of a pharmacokinetic model was determined for predicting the measured concentrations. In step 2, the PK model was used for a model-based evaluation of the MeroRisk-calculator: risk of target non-attainment was calculated using the PK model and agreement with the MeroRisk-calculator was determined by a visual and statistical (Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient (CCC)) analysis for MIC values 0.125–16 mg/L. The MeroRisk-calculator was extended to include risk assessment based on EUCAST-MIC distributions and cumulative-fraction-of-response analysis. Results: Step 1 showed a negligible bias of the PK model to underpredict concentrations (−0.84 mg/L). Step 2 revealed a high level of agreement between risk of target non-attainment predictions for creatinine clearances >50 mL/min (CCC = 0.990), but considerable deviations for patients <50 mL/min. For 27% of EUCAST-listed pathogens the median cumulative-fraction-of-response for the observed patients receiving standard dosing was < 90%. Conclusions: The MeroRisk-calculator was successfully evaluated: For patients with maintained renal function it allows a reliable and user-friendly risk assessment. The integration of pathogen-based risk assessment substantially increases the applicability of the tool.

description: The roots of most plants host diverse assemblages of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which benefit the plant hosts in diverse ways. Even though we understand that such AMF assemblages are non-random, we do not fully appreciate whether and how environmental settings can make them more or less predictable in time and space. Here we present results from three controlled experiments, where we manipulated two environmental parameters, habitat connectance and habitat quality, to address the degree to which plant roots in archipelagos of high connectance and invariable habitats are colonized with (i) less diverse and (ii) easier to predict AMF assemblages. We observed no differences in diversity across our manipulations. We show, however, that mixing habitats and varying connectance render AMF assemblages less predictable, which we could only detect within and not between our experimental units. We also demonstrate that none of our manipulations favoured any specific AMF taxa. We present here evidence that the community structure of AMF is less responsive to spatio-temporal manipulations than root colonization rates which is a facet of the symbiosis which we currently poorly understand.

description: Emotion detection presents challenges to intelligent human-robot interaction (HRI). Foundational deep learning techniques used in emotion detection are limited by information-constrained datasets or models that lack the necessary complexity to learn interactions between input data elements, such as the the variance of human emotions across different contexts. In the current effort, we introduce 1) MoEmo (Motion to Emotion), a cross-attention vision transformer (ViT) for human emotion detection within robotics systems based on 3D human pose estimations across various contexts, and 2) a data set that offers full-body videos of human movement and corresponding emotion labels based on human gestures and environmental contexts. Compared to existing approaches, our method effectively leverages the subtle connections between movement vectors of gestures and environmental contexts through the use of cross-attention on the extracted movement vectors of full-body human gestures/poses and feature maps of environmental contexts. We implement a cross-attention fusion model to combine movement vectors and environment contexts into a joint representation to derive emotion estimation. Leveraging our Naturalistic Motion Database, we train the MoEmo system to jointly analyze motion and context, yielding emotion detection that outperforms the current state-of-the-art.

description: Super-sensitive observations of bright pulsars by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) have revealed weak radio emission continuously emerged in the rotation phases between the main pulse and interpulse of an rotating neutron star. We develop a model for the polarized radio emission radiated from different heights in the pulsar magnetosphere and examine emission intensity distribution over the whole rotation phases of pulsars seen from all directions by the line of sight. We find that for pulsars with small periods and the magnetosphere filled with much more relativistic particles, the polarized radio emission can be generated in all rotation phases for both the aligned and perpendicular rotating neutron stars. When the line of sight cuts the pulsar emission beam between the rotation and magnetic axes, the polarization angles have the same sense of variation gradient for the ``main'' pulse and ``interpulse''. If the line of sight cuts the beams between the inclined magnetic axis and the equator, the opposite senses can be found for the main pulse and interpulse. In addition to the pulsed emission, we find persistent radio emission generated in the pulsar magnetosphere. The model can naturally explain the emission across the entire rotation phases.

description: Time-frequency analysis, such as the Gabor transform, plays an important role in many signal processing applications. The redundancy of such representations is often directly related to the computational load of any algorithm operating in the transform domain. To reduce complexity, it may be desirable to increase the time and frequency sampling intervals beyond the point where the transform is invertible, at the cost of an inevitable recovery error. In this paper we initiate the study of recovery procedures for non-invertible Gabor representations. We propose using fixed analysis and synthesis windows, chosen e.g. according to implementation constraints, and to process the Gabor coefficients prior to synthesis in order to shape the reconstructed signal. We develop three methods to tackle this problem. The first follows from the consistency requirement, namely that the recovered signal has the same Gabor representation as the input signal. The second, is based on the minimization of a worst-case error criterion. Last, we develop a recovery technique based on the assumption that the input signal lies in some subspace of $L_2$. We show that for each of the criteria, the manipulation of the transform coefficients amounts to a 2D twisted convolution operation, which we show how to perform using a filter-bank. When the under-sampling factor is an integer, the processing reduces to standard 2D convolution. We provide simulation results to demonstrate the advantages and weaknesses of each of the algorithms.

description: Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is a highly cell-associated oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that causes lymphomas in various organs in chickens. Like other herpesviruses, MDV has a large and complex double-stranded DNA genome. A number of viral transcripts are generated by alternative splicing, a process that drastically extends the coding capacity of the MDV genome. One of the spliced genes encoded by MDV is the viral interleukin 8 (vIL-8), a CXC chemokine that facilitates the recruitment of MDV target cells and thereby plays an important role in MDV pathogenesis and tumorigenesis. We recently identified a novel vIL-8 exon (vIL-8-E3′) by RNA-seq; however, it remained elusive whether the protein containing the vIL-8-E3′ is expressed and what role it may play in MDV replication and/or pathogenesis. To address these questions, we first generated recombinant MDV harboring a tag that allows identification of the spliced vIL-8-E3′ protein, revealing that it is indeed expressed. We subsequently generated knockout viruses and could demonstrate that the vIL-8-E3′ protein is dispensable for MDV replication as well as secretion of the functional vIL-8 chemokine. Finally, infection of chickens with this vIL-8-E3′ knockout virus revealed that the protein is not important for MDV replication and pathogenesis in vivo. Taken together, our study provides novel insights into the splice forms of the CXC chemokine of this highly oncogenic alphaherpesvirus.
An interactive debugging package for lisp/mts

description: Most large artificial intelligence programs are written in LISP. These systems are generally so complex, that at any given point, the programmer himself cannot tell what the system is doing. To work with these systems, the programmer must he able to take an active role in the program's execution. This means, he must be able to monitor the program's evaluation, watch for incorrect data generation, and be notified when program errors occur. This requires a truly interactive language. This thesis presents a LISP program which converts LISP to an interactive language. The model for this system is the BBN-LISP programming system. Included here is a LISP editor and BREAK and ERROR packages. Through function calls and commands, the user is put in full control over the execution of his program and can correct errors while in LISP.

description: We review recent experiments on dewetting thin films of evaporating colloidal nanoparticle suspensions (nanofluids) and discuss several theoretical approaches to describe the ongoing processes including coupled transport and phase changes. These approaches range from microscopic discrete stochastic theories to mesoscopic continuous deterministic descriptions. In particular, we describe (i) a microscopic kinetic Monte Carlo model, (ii) a dynamical density functional theory and (iii) a hydrodynamic thin film model. Models (i) and (ii) are employed to discuss the formation of polygonal networks, spinodal and branched structures resulting from the dewetting of an ultrathin 'postcursor film' that remains behind a mesoscopic dewetting front. We highlight, in particular, the presence of a transverse instability in the evaporative dewetting front, which results in highly branched fingering structures. The subtle interplay of decomposition in the film and contact line motion is discussed. Finally, we discuss a simple thin film model (iii) of the hydrodynamics on the mesoscale. We employ coupled evolution equations for the film thickness profile and mean particle concentration. The model is used to discuss the self-pinning and depinning of a contact line related to the 'coffee-stain' effect. In the course of the review we discuss the advantages and limitations of the different theories, as well as possible future developments and extensions.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.

description: We find a family of solutions to Zamolodchikov's tetrahedral algebra corresponding to the fermionic R-operator for the free fermion model of the difference type in one of the spectral parameters, construct an extension of the R-operator for a system of two spins satisfying the Yang-Baxter equation, and find the local charges. We also construct a twisted monodromy operator, which leads to the one-dimensional Hubbard model.

description: In discussing the films Dingo (1991), The Boys (1998), Come in Spinner (1990), and The Tracker (2002), I examine the meeting of jazz music as a “sonic indicator of authenticity” with the critical notion of settler-colonial Australia as an unreconciled, uncanny, and inauthentic space. These films tell uniquely Australian stories and diegetically or non-diegetically feature improvised music practices that fall under the category of jazz as a broad “coverall” term. In these films, the music unsettles us and portray an uneasy relationship between their Australian subjects and the Australian landscape. They are also unique films in how their music and musicians were respected and prioritised, sometimes with significant implications for how scenes were filmed and composed. I argue that these films are significant in reflecting the cultural tensions at the time they emerged, many which can still be felt today. These films connect with contemporary developments in jazz practice in Australia and offer a template for future practice-based research and cultural collaborations.
