description: Introduction Social distancing (SD) is one of Ministry of Malaysia’s (MOH) key recommended prevention measures for COVID-19. It’s important to assess public's knowledge, attitude and perceived benefit of SD practices as health experts globally are advising public to practice SD diligently to minimize the spread of virus. Objective This study aimed to assess public’s understanding, practice and perceptions related to Social Distancing during COVID-19 Methodology [Refer to Poster]. Results [Refer to Poster]. Conclusion Survey finding shows public have high awareness level and positive attitude towards Social Distancing (SD) practice, however further analysis need to be done to conclude whether high knowledge and positive attitude contributes to proper adherence of SD practices. However only 82% agree they will adhere strictly to SD as how they used to do during MCO. On perceived benefit of SD, more than 90% agree SD practices reduce personal risk of COVID 19 infection and stops the transmission at community level, however only 67.8% agree practice of SD reduce loss of life due to COVID 19. This possibly can be attributed to risk aversion towards COVID 19 among Malaysians, as we have lower death rates due to this diseases compared to other countries that was severely affected like US, UK, Italy, Brazil etc. Therefore Malaysian public may associate severity of COVID 19 as very infectious disease but not life threatening

description: This dissertation explores a constellation of interrelated, and under-investigated, French and Japanese ceramics spanning the period between 1866, the year that marked the production of the first ceramic set that came to be known as japoniste, and 1904, the year of the St. Louis World’s Fair, where contemporaneous Japanese and French ceramics shared a common vocabulary. The historical data I collected in France and Japan and its analysis, through qualitative and quantitative sociological tools, led me to conclude that Japonisme represented a tightly knit social network in which ceramics were used as currency to broker unprecedented links within and between the central binaries of the nineteenth-century French art world: academic/ avant-garde, art/ craft, fine art/ decorative art, painting/ other mediums, intrinsic/ instrumental, representational/ self-referential, and tradition/ innovation. Until now, most attention to Japonisme has been concentrated on the ukiyo-e woodblock prints used instrumentally by the Modernist practitioners of what Duranty called the “new painting.” My study turns our attention to a medium in which cultural power relationships were more evenly balanced, and in which, therefore, we can trace how two cultures can interact productively. Japanese ceramics taught French collectors and artists how to begin to discern between Chinese and Japanese traditions and to “read” the cultural references embedded in Japanese decoration. Also, French collectors’ antiquarian interest in Japanese ceramics was readily matched by French potters who reformed their practice and altered hierarchies of medium by drawing on the European arabesque tradition, the Rococo Revival, and the Japanese aesthetic of playfulness. In return, Meiji- and Taisho-period Japanese potters and porcelain manufacturers emulated European japoniste ceramic vocabulary in what constituted a renegotiation of the balance between tradition, on the one hand, and imported technologies and new global markets, on the other. Their ceramics reflected several rounds of exchange between the Japanese and French art worlds. These objects demonstrated just how complexly two social networks from two previously distinct cultures had been influencing each other in a medium they both valued, ceramics. I call this phenomenon “uroboric” Japonisme because it most fully illustrates the circular nature of transcultural exchanges and the central role that such exchanges play in the renewal of aesthetic and sociocultural identities.
Out-of-time-ordered correlation functions in open systems: A Feynman-Vernon influence functional approach
Creators: name: Tuziemski, Jan

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown significance of quantum information scrambling (i.e. a spread of quantum information over a system degrees of freedom) for problems encountered in high-energy physics, quantum information, and condensed matter. Due to complexity of quantum many-body systems it is plausible that new developments in this field will be achieved by experimental explorations. Since noise effects are inevitably present in experimental implementations, a better theoretical understanding of quantum information scrambling in systems affected by noise is needed. To address this problem we study indicators of quantum scrambling -- out-of-time-ordered correlation functions (OTOCs) in open quantum systems. As most experimental protocols for measuring OTOCs are based on backward time evolution we consider two possible scenarios of joint system-environment dynamics reversal: In the first one the evolution of the environment is reversed, whereas in the second it is not. We derive general formulas for OTOCs in those cases as well as study in detail the model of a spin chain coupled to the environment of harmonic oscillators. In the latter case we derive expressions for open systems OTOCs in terms of Feynman-Vernon influence functional. Subsequently, assuming that dephasing dominates over dissipation, we provide bounds on open system OTOCs and illustrate them for a spectral density known from the spin-boson problem. In addition to being significant for quantum information scrambling, our results also advance understating of decoherence in processes involving backward time evolution.

description: This article considers contemporary trends in classical theatre and performance through the lens of the 2014 National Theatre London version of Euripides’ Medea directed by Carrie Cracknell and adapted by British writer and dramaturg Ben Power. The production team included Australian choreographer Lucy Guerin, who created a radical physicality for the Chorus of Corinthian Women, to a soundtrack composed by electronic pop duo Goldfrapp. As the audience enters it sees two young boys lying on the floor eating crisps and playing a video game while the Nurse looks on. Dressed in modern trainers, wide-legged high-waisted navy cotton pants and a pale blue sleeveless top, she is elegant, professional and in charge. Marketed as the NT Medea, the production was also transmitted through the National Theatre’s global live broadcast service to cinemas allowing many thousands of people to view the performance in their own cities and towns. When she speaks to the contemporary audience about the Argos, the fleece and blood, her words cross several time frames and spatial locations from Colchis to ancient Corinth to classical Athens, contemporary London and global cinemas, her words refer us to past and present places of private and civil unrest. This article considers the bringing together of the contemporary and the classical in a contemporary setting and behind that the question of theatre, its classical heritage and continuing cultural force.

description: Optical levitation of nanoscale particles has emerged as a platform for precision measurement. Extremely low damping, together with optical interferometric position detection, makes possible exquisite force measurement and promises low-energy tests of fundamental physics. Essential to such measurement is an understanding of the confidence with which parameters can be inferred from spectra estimated from the indirect measurement provided by interferometry. We present an apparatus optimized for sensitivity along one motional degree of freedom, a theoretical model of the spectrum, and maximum likelihood estimation. The treatment accounts for the sinusoidal dependence of interferometric signal on particle position, and we use the technique to extract thermodynamic quantities in a regime where simpler treatments are confounded.

New Vistas in Solar Concentration with Gradient Index Optics

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Optics

description: Four innovations in the fields of optical design and solar concentration are presented: a) the derivation of fundamentally new gradient-index (GRIN) distributions for perfect optical instruments. For the first time, GRIN lenses for visible and solar radiation with refractive index distributions that are amenable to current fabrication techniques are presented. Those lenses perform at nature's cardinal limits (within the geometrical optics approximation - valid for essentially all solar applications), i.e. perfect imaging and ideal nonimaging performance for monochromatic radiation and unprecedented image fidelity and near-ideal flux concentration for the full solar spectrum. Until now, there have been no GRIN solutions (for performance approaching the fundamental limits of flux concentration and image fidelity) that can accommodate an extended constant-index core - especially relevant because the only available fabrication techniques for visible and solar GRIN lenses require a constant-index core. b) The design, for the first time, of a nominally stationary solar concentrator with attainable geometric concentration of the order of 10super suns with high collection efficiency. The burden of tracking is transferred inside the stationary module where mm-scale motion of GRIN perfect imaging lenses tracks the sun. This creates the possibility for rooftop Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) with unprecedented optical performance and exceptional optical tolerance. c) The design of a nominally stationary solar concentrator with a modified Simultaneous Multiple Surface technique for nonimaging contoured lenses with flux concentration of the order of tenths of suns. d) The design of planar GRIN lenses able to deliver flux concentrations close to the thermodynamic limit to Solar Concentration with a single, optical element, previously deemed unattainable and particularly suitable to dual-axis tracking CPV.
Notes on Ifigenia, Liberata at the Piccolo Teatro

Year: 2019

description: The Ifigenia, liberata (Iphigenia, Freed), written by Carmelo Rifici and Angela Dematté and performed at the Piccolo Teatro Strehler in Milan from 27 April to 7 May 2017, is a challenging theatrical experiment on Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis. This piece illustrates how the conceptual premises of the play are to be found in René Girard’s theorization of human violence. In this light, Iphigenia’s sacrifice becomes the means to placate the mimetic rivalries among the Greek warriors and eventually pursue the expedition against Troy. But Rifici and Dematté were also inspired by the Italian scholar Giuseppe Fornari, who argues that in Iphigenia in Aulis Euripides exposed the cruelty of the sacrifice and its sordid motivations, while being unable to oppose to it a new ethics. These stances intriguingly materialize in the re-working of the Euripidean play through the interaction of words, stage setting, and filmic images.

description: We conduct a comprehensive study of three different magnetic semiconductors, CrI$_3$, CrBr$_3$, and CrCl$_3$, by incorporating both few- and bi-layer samples in van der Waals tunnel junctions. We find that the interlayer magnetic ordering, exchange gap, magnetic anisotropy, as well as magnon excitations evolve systematically with changing halogen atom. By fitting to a spin wave theory that accounts for nearest neighbor exchange interactions, we are able to further determine a simple spin Hamiltonian describing all three systems. These results extend the 2D magnetism platform to Ising, Heisenberg, and XY spin classes in a single material family. Using magneto-optical measurements, we additionally demonstrate that ferromagnetism can be stabilized down to monolayer in more isotropic CrBr$_3$, with transition temperature still close to that of the bulk.

BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro State, Rio de Janeiro, Tijuca National Park, Visitor’s Center; 18 January 2021; R. Dias. Host: Unidentified species (Ctenidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp straddled the recently captured, paralyzed wandering spider, examined it with her antennae as it laid dorsal side upward on the ground, and turned it onto its left side. She then detached the spider’s right legs at the trochanter-coxa joints using her mandibles. She also amputated the spider’s left legs at the trochanter-coxa joints. The wasp then ran across the ground, holding the delimbed host spider dorsal side upward while grasping the base of its chelicera with her mandibles. She stopped and paused, remaining atop her immobilized spider, on a green cement walkway (Dias 2021a).
BRAZIL: Rio de Janeiro State, Rio de Janeiro, Tijuca National Park, Visitor’s Center; 18 January 2021; R. Dias. Host: Unidentified species (Ctenidae), adult or subadult female. The wasp ran up a vertical cement wall carrying an immobilized delimbed wandering spider, dorsal side upward, while grasping the base its chelicera with her mandibles. At the top she ran along the ledge to the end, then turned around and ran in the opposite direction to a tree growing against the wall. Without hesitating, the wasp with spider underneath continued running up the tree and out of sight (Dias 2021b).

Sediment management practices at the Kemess South Mine

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Kemess Mine is located in north-central BC and has a disturbance area of greater than 1,000 ha. Federal Metal Mining Effluent Regulations (MMER) require that total suspended solid concentrations be below 15.00 mg/L as a monthly average and 30.00 mg/L as a grab sample maximum in the regulated surface waters leaving the mine site. Surficial materials at the mine have a relatively high fines content, which make the removal of suspended solids from impacted water difficult. Therefore, sediment management is an integral component of the operations at the site in order to achieve the MMER targets. This paper describes the sediment management practices including recovery of sediment or tailings accumulations in stream beds at the Kemess Mine. Kemess Mines targets permit compliance through the application of applied sediment management techniques discussed in this paper. These techniques are utilized as part of a toolbox approach to resolving sediment issues. A combination of techniques is applied dependent on site specific conditions to provide the most cost effective method for the maintenance of water quality and minimization of impact.

description: Inelastic proton scattering under extreme forward angles including $0^\circ$ and at energies of a few hundred MeV has been established as a new spectroscopic tool for the study of complete dipole strength distributions in nuclei. Such data allow an extraction of the electric dipole polarizability which provides important constraints parameters of the symmetry energy, which determine the neutron skin thickness and the equation of state (EOS) of neutron-rich matter. Also new insight into the much-debated nature of the pygmy dipole resonance (PDR) is obtained. Additionally, the isovector spin-M1 resonance can be studied in heavy nuclei, where only limited experimental information exists so far. Together with much improved results on the isoscalar spin-M1 strength distributions in $N = Z$ nuclei, these data shed new light on the phenomenon of quenching of the nuclear spin response. Using dispersion matching techniques, high energy resolution ($ΔE/E \leq 10^{-4} \,\,$ full width at half maximum, FWHM) can be achieved in the experiments. In spherical-vibrational nuclei considerable fine structure is observed in the energy region of the isovector giant dipole resonance (IVGDR). A quantitative analysis of the fine structure with wavelet methods provides information on the role of different damping mechanisms contributing to the width of the IVGDR. Furthermore, level densities can be extracted from a fluctuation analysis at excitation energies well above neutron threshold, a region hardly accessible by other means. The combination of the gamma strength function (GSF) extracted from the E1 and M1 strength distributions with the independently derived level density permits novel tests of the Brink-Axel hypothesis underlying all calculations of statistical model reaction cross sections in astrophysical applications in the energy region of the PDR.

description: The notion of classical $r$-matrix is re-examined, and a definition suitable to differential (-difference) Lie algebras, -- where the standard definitions are shown to be deficient, -- is proposed, the notion of an ${\mathcal O}$-operator. This notion has all the natural properties one would expect form it, but lacks those which are artifacts of finite-dimensional isomorpisms such as not true in differential generality relation $\mbox{End}\, (V) \simeq V^* \otimes V$ for a vector space $V$. Examples considered include a quadratic Poisson bracket on the dual space to a Lie algebra; generalized symplectic-quadratic models of such brackets (aka Clebsch representations); and Drinfel'd's 2-cocycle interpretation of nondegenate classical $r$-matrices.

description: Caryl Churchill’s Escaped Alone premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in January 2016 under the direction of James Macdonald, and was revived, at the same venue and with the same cast, between 25 January and 11 February 2017, before going on tour in the UK and USA. After a brief overview of Churchill’s latest production, I will focus on her preference for short theatrical forms as well as for environmental and eschatological themes. Escaped Alone will be briefly introduced in this frame, with a particular attention to its kinship with Far Away. The February 8 2017 performance will then be reviewed with regard to the text, the acting, and the stage design. Macdonald’s choices will be discussed, stressing the difficulties and the advantages of staging a play with minimal stage direction; Churchill’s relationship with the director, and her role in rehearsal and in the mise en scène will be considered too. Finally, I will suggest that Churchill, in her experimenting with theatrical language, has been distancing herself from her socialrealistic works of the Seventies and Eighties, going towards a theatre reminiscent of Absurdist theatre in general, and Samuel Beckett in particular.

Collaborating with Aeschylus (and Sophocles and Euripides and a Director and Cast)
Creators: name: Mills, Sophie
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: In Terence Rattigan’s The Browning Version the crusty old Classics master disdainfully describes interest in elegant translation as mere “collaborating with Aeschylus”. Yet translators must surely collaborate with the author, to create equivalent words that will resonate with their audience as the Greek dramatists’ words resonated with theirs. An added dimension in translating Greek drama is that, unless the translation’s purpose is only to elucidate the Greek, the collaborative net must encompass directors, designers, actors, and audience. Since the translator(s) have agonized over the mot juste or over transforming or removing a Greek expression for greater accessibility, they can view their final version not only as an end product, but also as the best version. In effect, their translation stands almost on the level of the original, at least in the relationship they hope that it will have with an audience. From the perspective of the director and actors, who have probably not been privy to the translators’ discussions, the words are only the beginning. Nothing, even the stage directions that some translators insert in hopes of preserving their vision, is sacrosanct. One of the translators’ goals is probably retention of a clear connection to their original text, if not exactly fidelity to it. But for some directors, the much-performed genre of Greek drama by definition needs a dose of originality to confound audience expectations of ‘the Classics’ with actors in bedsheets. For them, the translators’ product is far from fixed and can be manipulated or even undermined by the director’s vision. Translators and directors can learn much from one another, and since 2012, I have worked with undergraduates and a director colleague to create and perform translations of Greek tragedy. This paper will discuss our process and products, and especially the multiple relationships possible between translators’ and director’s visions.

description: The goal of this thesis is to develop a set of design criteria that can be used to evaluate new housing interventions on Tower in the Park public housing sites in New York City. Three projects have been completed in the last ten years, where affordable housing has been built in the place of existing “underutilized” parking lots. With the rising deterioration of housing stock due to several decades without adequate funding, the city is encouraging market rate and affordable housing development within the footprint of existing NYCHA sites. At the same time, the need for senior housing in the city has grown, and several new developments have been built within the existing NYCHA sites to house seniors. These sites have great architectural and social significance, and many interventions fail to engage the historic fabric in a meaningful way. My goal is to determine whether these three additions were supportive of the significance of the site and look at alternate siting possibilities based on analyses of the site that value existing patterns. Millbrook, Van Dyke, and Ingersoll are similar in site plan, density, height, facade material, program, and date of completion, and so are most useful in determining strategies for future development on high rise public housing sites. I believe that there are on site alternatives and off- site alternatives that better support the significance of these sites.

description: Buffalo, New York developed as an economic and industrial powerhouse in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Since the latter half of the twentieth century, Buffalo has been hit hard by economic transformation and demographic shifts. This resulted in a city full of significant architectural heritage with little ability to maintain it. Until recently, Buffalo has faced disinvestment in its downtown with high vacancy rates, neglect and demolition. The New York State Historic Tax Credit Program has become a powerful tool for reinvestment in Buffalo's historic structures and neighborhoods. Buffalo has been the state's epicenter for historic reuse projects and one of the key cities statewide for utilization of both the federal and state historic tax credits. This thesis explores the evolution of the New York State Historic Tax Credit Program and its subsequent impact on preservation and neighborhood revitalization in Buffalo through specific projects that have utilized the credits. This thesis uncovers the trends among the commercial and homeowner historic tax credit projects in Buffalo, and evaluates the program's ability to incite economic development and urban revitalization at the local level.
Effect of chiral anomaly on the circular dichroism and Hall angle in doped and tilted Weyl semimetals

description: From the Kubo formula for transport in a tilted Weyl semimetal we calculate the absorptive part of the dynamic conductivity for both right and left handed circular polarized light. These depend on the real part of the longitudinal conductivity and the imaginary part of the transverse (Hall) conductivity. We include the effect of the chiral anomaly which pumps charge from negative to positive chirality node when the usual ${\bs E}\cdot{\bs B}$ term is included in the electrodynamics and obtain analytic expressions. To calculate the Hall angle we further provide expressions for the imaginary part of longitudinal and real part of the transverse conductivity and compare results with and without the pumping term. We also consider the case of a non centro symmetric Weyl semimetal in which the chiral nodes are displaced in energy by an amount $\pm \mathcal{Q}_0$. This leads to modification in dichroism and Hall angle which parallel the pumping case.

description: Thermodynamics provides a transparent definition of the free energy of density functional theory (DFT), and of its derivatives - the potentials, at finite temperatures T. By taking the T to 0 limit, it is shown here that both DFT and spin-dependent DFT (for ground states) suffer from precisely the same benign ambiguities: (a) charge and spin quantization lead to "up to a constant" indeterminacies in the potential and the magnetic field respectively, and (b) the potential in empty subspaces is undetermined but irrelevant. Surprisingly, these simple facts were inaccessible within the standard formulation, leading to recent discussions of apparent difficulties within spin-DFT.

New York Hearts Tech: Tech in the City Under Bloomberg

description: From Austin’s Silicon Hills, to Louisiana’s Silicon Bayou, Southern California’s Silicon Beaches to the Midwest’s Silicon Prairie, cities across the country have been actively courting tech. New York City is no exception. Since the financial crisis, the Bloomberg administration has pursued tech as a way to diversify the City’s economy. Over the past four years, the government has introduced a suite of tech-focused economic development initiatives, including competitions, incubators, and a well publicized (and expensive) campaign to overhaul the state of the City’s engineering education. Simultaneously, the growth of the City’s tech industry has been remarkable by any measure – companies, jobs, investment, or community network. Much of the government’s attention has been directed at the purported shortage of local tech talent. Less evaluated has been the government’s impact in directing tech’s growth. This thesis asks thus to what extent the Bloomberg administration’s tech agenda has impacted the tech community and contributed to its resurgence in the City. I derive my answer from both a detailed survey of the tech community, as well as from targeted interviews with winners of government-sponsored competitions, academics and industry leaders. My research finds the tech community considerably more impacted by and reliant for its growth on the City’s existing competitive advantages (its strength and diversity across industries, its skilled labor force, its global economy and its livability) than on the direct and visible support of the
government.
Voices at the Margins of Victimhood: Jorge Díaz’s Náufragos de la memoria
Creators: name: Romanowski, Arne

description: After decades of political and ideological persecution, the process of Chilean national reconciliation requires the careful examination of a problematic dialectic: on the one hand, forgiving and forgetting, on the other, bringing the guilty to justice. However, decades after Chile’s transition from dictatorship to democracy, the boundaries between forgiveness and condemnation remain porous. This is partially due to the fact that some of the survivors have not been able to express their personal injuries. In the eyes of the famous Chilean playwright Jorge Díaz – whose last collection of plays Náufragos de la memoria [Castaways of Memory] (2007) is the subject of this article – this social dynamic of silence imposed on the defeated converts society into one more link in the chain of guilt. This article seeks to shed light on the diverse intimate experiences of victimhood as represented theatrically in Díaz’s pieces, from the perspective of survivors who are dwelling at the periphery of postdictatorship society. Following Ana Longoni’s proposal of the marginalization of this particular group through their classification as “traitors”, I will argue that through the dynamic employment of silences, irony, and of physical space(s), these plays blur the categories of victim and perpetrator. This breaking of rigid classifications reveals Díaz’s main criticism about his country’s controversial attitude and debatable strategies of reconciliation, and opens up the possibility of a dialogue about traumatic memory – including those most intimately touched by this memory.

Bianca Del Villano, Using the Devil with Courtesy. Shakespeare and the Language of (Im)Politeness, Bern: Peter Lang, 2018
Creators: name: Mullini, Roberta
Publisher: name: Skenè. Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies
Year: 2019

description: This review of Bianca Del Villano’s Using the Devil with Courtesy. Shakespeare and the Language of (Im)Politeness highlights the interdisciplinary approach used in the volume, so that the pragmatic research at its basis is enlivened with a vast series of theoretical perspectives. The detailed study of im(politeness) phenomena goes hand in hand with the Author’s cultural awareness of the deep changes in early modern English society, thus shedding new light onto the interpersonal relationships revealed by dramatic dialogue both in Hamlet and in The Taming of the Shrew, the two plays chosen as case studies.

description: This dissertation is devoted to a history of the New York State elementary school teacher certification requirements, specifically in mathematics, during the nineteenth century. In the last half of nineteenth century, teacher education and uniform certification procedures were beginning to become the norm in the educational systems throughout the United States. The purpose of this study was to determine the ways an individual could obtain a elementary school teachers' certificate in New York State at the genesis of teacher certification examinations and to establish an understanding of what mathematical knowledge was required for elementary school teachers in order to obtain a State Certificate.
           This study analyzes multiple primary sources, including annual reports from New York State and New York City, along with the State Certificate examinations. The examinations in arithmetic, algebra and geometry are analyzed for the mathematics topic of the questions, the number of steps needed to complete the question and the categorizing of the questions according to Bloom's taxonomy (CBT). Five examinations of each subject, arithmetic, algebra and geometry, are analyzed, from the years 1875 to 1898. The topics addressed on the examinations, the number of steps to complete the questions and the CBT of each question are determined and used to establish the required mathematical knowledge of the elementary school teacher.
      	The analysis of the mathematics examinations for State Certificates showed that the content required for elementary school teachers were comparative to the high school mathematics curriculum at the time. The content on the examinations for mathematics was more than the course of study they were going to be teaching in the elementary schools. They were required to have a broad and sophisticated mathematical education, however, less sophisticated than offered in the University. Also on the mathematics examinations, teachers were not assessed in what is now called pedagogical content knowledge.

description: Purpose: Individuals with learning disabilities (LD) often face higher rates of premature mortality and prolonged hospital stays compared to the general population. Predicting the length of stay (LOS) for patients with LD and multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) is critical for improving patient care and optimising medical resource allocation. However, there is limited research on the application of machine learning (ML) models to this population. Furthermore, approaches designed for the general population often lack generalisability and fairness, particularly when applied across sensitive groups within their cohort.Method: This study analyses hospitalisations of 9,618 patients with LD in Wales using electronic health records (EHR) from the SAIL Databank. A Random Forest (RF) ML model was developed to predict hospital LOS, incorporating demographics, medication history, lifestyle factors, and 39 long-term conditions. To address fairness concerns, two bias mitigation techniques were applied: a post-processing threshold optimiser and an in-processing reductions method using an exponentiated gradient. These methods aimed to minimise performance discrepancies across ethnic groups while ensuring robust model performance.Results: The RF model outperformed other state-of-the-art models, achieving an area under the curve of 0.759 for males and 0.756 for females, a false negative rate of 0.224 for males and 0.229 for females, and a balanced accuracy of 0.690 for males and 0.689 for females. Bias mitigation algorithms reduced disparities in prediction performance across ethnic groups, with the threshold optimiser yielding the most notable improvements. Performance metrics, including false positive rate and balanced accuracy, showed significant enhancements in fairness for the male cohort.Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility of applying ML models to predict LOS for patients with LD and MLTCs, while addressing fairness through bias mitigation techniques. The findings highlight the potential for equitable healthcare predictions using EHR data, paving the way for improved clinical decision-making and resource management.

description: The Kondo and Periodic Anderson models describe many of the qualitative features of local moments coupled to a conduction band, and thereby the physics of materials such as the heavy fermions. In particular, when the exchange coupling $J$ or hybridization $V$ between the moments and the electrons of the metallic band is large, singlets form, quenching the magnetism. In the opposite, small $J$ or $V$, limit, the moments survive, and the conduction electrons mediate an effective interaction which can trigger long range, often antiferromagnetic, order. In the case of the Kondo model, where the moments are described by local spins, Nozières considered the possibility that the available conduction electrons within the Kondo temperature of the Fermi surface would be insufficient in number to accomplish the screening. Much effort in the literature has been devoted to the study of the temperature scales in the resulting `exhaustion' problem, and how the `coherence temperature' where a heavy Fermi liquid forms is related to the Kondo temperature. In this paper, we study a version of the Periodic Anderson model in which some of the conduction electrons are removed in a way which avoids the fermion sign problem and hence allows low temperature Quantum Monte Carlo simulations which can access both singlet formation and magnetic ordering temperature scales. We are then able to focus on a somewhat different aspect of exhaustion physics than previously considered: the effect of dilution on the critical $V$ for the singlet-antiferromagnetic transition.
