Au coeur de l'expérience des pères d'aujourd'hui de la naissance aux premiers mois de vie de l'enfant : Le « team » père-mère
Creators: name: Legros-Jacques, Anne-Marie
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2018

description: Le rôle du père a évolué d’une façon significative au cours des dernières décennies. L’engagement paternel et l’expérience des pères sont des concepts sur lesquels les chercheurs et les intervenants réfléchissent depuis bien des années. Le discours de l’engagement paternel, surtout développé en intervention, renvoie à des repères pour connaître ce qu’on attend des « bons pères », des comportements observables qui permettent de mesurer la force et la qualité du lien que peut développer un père avec son enfant. L’expérience des pères se rattache davantage au vécu subjectif de la paternité, à partir de ce que les pères vivent, ressentent et expriment. Les chercheurs qui s’intéressent à l’un ou à l’autre de ces concepts tendent à dire que la période périnatale est une période importante pour les pères puisqu’elle leur permet de vivre les premiers moments père-enfant. Pourtant, peu d’écrits existent sur l’expérience des pères dans le continuum de la naissance aux premiers mois de vie de l’enfant. Comprendre comment les pères vivent leur transition d’homme à père et ce qui est favorable à leur expérience a donc été l’objectif de ce mémoire. La méthodologie utilisée pour la recherche a été une analyse secondaire de données qualitatives, recueillies à l’aide d’entrevues réalisées auprès de quatorze couples de parents de classe moyenne supérieure au Canada entre 2012 et 2013. Les résultats font ressortir que la place des pères dans la salle d’accouchement est négligée et que leurs besoins de savoir, de comprendre et d’apprendre n’y sont pas reconnus comme ils le sont pourtant dans le post-natal immédiat. C’est dans ce moment qui entoure la sortie du bébé que se vit, en lien étroit avec la mère, la transition au devenir parent. Le « team » père-mère se consolide d’abord à l’hôpital et ensuite durant les premiers mois de vie de l’enfant autour de la création conjointe du fonctionnement familial. La nouvelle vie à trois et la nouvelle relation avec leur bébé sont profondément appréciées par les pères. Ces résultats contextualisés permettent d’avancer que l’expérience des pères est facilitée par des conditions et des ressources parentales favorables. La recherche propose donc de reconnaitre les pères comme des personnes-hommes uniques ayant une histoire individuelle et collective et de renforcer les politiques redistributives entourant la parentalité considérant l’impact que celles-ci peuvent avoir sur l’expérience et l’engagement des pères. Mots clés : père, paternité, expérience des pères, engagement des pères, transition à la parentalité- périnatalité- team père-mère

description: Esta investigación analiza la relación existente entre las dinámicas regionales y los instrumentos de ordenamiento territorial que orientan la ocupación del espacio físico de los municipios del Magdalena Medio –MM-, en aras a verificar su discrepancia o congruencia con los fines de la integración subregional. Para tal fin, usando datos de carga transportada vía terrestre, se propone un modelo gravitacional que toma como núcleo al municipio de Barrancabermeja, a través del cual, se estima el potencial de carga perdida como medida cuantitativa para el análisis de los grados de integración sub-regional. Posteriormente, mediante regresiones se construye un modelo econométrico que busca explicar los determinantes socioeconómicos que inciden en la varianza de esta. Los resultados indican que las variables de migración de toda la vida, la sinuosidad vial y la capacidad fiscal para la formación bruta de capital fijo, explican en gran medida la dificultad para articular una visión de integración regional en el MM. Seguidamente, estos datos se contrastan con la reglamentación dispuesta y/o próxima a adoptarse en los planes de ordenamiento de los principales municipios del MM, verificando la hipótesis planteada, que señala que estas dinámicas no son recogidas cabalmente en estos documentos normativos.
description: This study analyzes the existing relationship between the regional dynamics and territorial planning (or territorial development) that guide the land occupancy of the municipalities of Magdalena Medio - MM -, in order to verify their discrepancy or consistency with the subregional integration purposes. Consequently, using data from land freight transport, a gravitational model is proposed, taking the municipality of Barrancabermeja as the focal point, through which, the potential freight loss is estimated as a quantitative measure for the analysis of the degree of subregional integration. Subsequently, through a regression analysis, an econometric model is built to explain the socioeconomic determinants that impact its variance. The results indicate that the lifetime migration variables, winding roads and the fiscal capacity for gross fixed capital, explain the great difficulty to articulate a vision of regional integration in MM. Afterward, these data is contrasted with the disposed regulations and/or about to be adopted in the ordinance plans of the main municipalities of the MM, verifying the raised hypothesis, which indicates that these dynamics are not fully reflected in these normative documents.

description: Non-perturbative quantum gravity effects might allow a black-to-white hole transition. We revisit this increasingly popular hypothesis by taking into account the fundamentally random nature of the bouncing time. We show that if the primordial mass spectrum of black holes is highly peaked, the expected signal can in fact match the wavelength of the observed fast radio bursts. On the other hand, if the primordial mass spectrum is wide and smooth, clear predictions are suggested and the sensitivity to the shape of the spectrum is studied.

description: We implement a full nonlinear optimization method to fit continuum states with complex Gaussians. The application to a set of regular scattering Coulomb functions allows us to validate the numerical feasibility, to explore the range of convergence of the approach, and to demonstrate the relative superiority of complex over real Gaussian expansions. We then consider the photoionization of atomic hydrogen, and ionization by electron impact in the first Born approximation, for which the closed form cross sections serve as a solid benchmark. Using the proposed complex Gaussian representation of the continuum combined with a real Gaussian expansion for the initial bound state, all necessary matrix elements within a partial wave approach become analytical. The successful numerical comparison illustrates that the proposed all-Gaussian approach works efficiently for ionization processes of one-center targets.

TESS observations of Be stars: general characteristics and the impulsive magnetic rotator model

description: In this work, we study the general characteristics of Be star light curves from TESS sectors 1-26 in the light of a model we call the "impulsive magnetic rotator". It is found that 73 percent of 441 classical Be stars are short-period variables. The light curves are characterised by non-coherent periods dominated by the fundamental and first harmonic with variable relative amplitudes. By comparing the equatorial rotational velocities obtained from the photometric fundamental periods with the projected rotational velocities,it is shown that the fundamental period is indistinguishable from the rotation period. The distributions of the projected rotational velocities and the equatorial rotational velocities for Be and non-Be stars are discussed. Using the equatorial rotational velocities of Be stars directly determined from the photometric period, it is found that, on average, Be stars rotate at about 0.66 of critical velocity. This result is independent of assumptions concerning gravity darkening. It is shown that the rotational amplitudes of Be stars increase with effective temperature and are considerably higher than those of non-Be stars. The amplitude distributions of Be and non-Be stars are also significantly different. Of particular interest is a large rise in rotational amplitudes from A0 to B5 for non-Be stars. We suspect that this may be a result of the increasing importance of a line-driven wind. Perhaps the Be stars are just those with greatest surface activity with increased mass loss aided by rapid rotation.

description: We demonstrate a simple module for octave spanning continuous-wave supercontinuum generation using standard telecom fiber. This module can accept any high power Ytterbium-doped fiber laser as input. The input light is transferred into the anomalous dispersion region of the telecom fiber through a cascade of Raman shifts. A recently proposed Raman laser architecture with distributed feedback efficiently performs these Raman conversions. A spectrum spanning over 1000nm(>1 octave) from 880-1900nm is demonstrated. The average power from the supercontinuum is ~34W with a high conversion efficiency of 44%. Input wavelength agility is demonstrated with similar supercontinua over a wide input wavelength range.

description: Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: This paper examines the factors affecting non-performing loans (NPLs) in Ethiopian commercial banks. It explores both bank-specific and macroeconomic factors over 15 years (2008–2022), providing insights into their implications for credit risk management. The topic is crucial due to the significant impact of NPLs on financial stability and economic growth. Background Problems: The study addresses the critical problem of rising NPL levels in Ethiopian banks, posing challenges to profitability and economic stability. The primary research question is: What factors significantly influence NPLs in Ethiopian commercial banks? Novelty: This research is novel as it incorporates both bank-specific and macroeconomic variables within the Ethiopian banking context, where limited empirical studies exist. It bridges the gap by employing robust analytical methods to assess previously underexplored relationships. Research Methods: An explanatory research design was used, employing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) panel regression to analyze data from nine Ethiopian banks (one public and eight private) over 15 years. This methodological approach ensures reliable and unbiased results for addressing endogeneity concerns. Findings/Results: The findings reveal that return on assets and loan-to-deposit ratio have a significant negative effect on NPLs, signifying that higher profitability and efficient loan management reduce credit risk. Additionally, government expenditure and broad money supply also lower NPLs, indicating the positive role of fiscal and monetary policies. Conversely, a higher effective tax rate significantly increases NPLs. Conclusion: The study concludes that profitability, efficient loan management, and supportive fiscal and monetary policies are critical in reducing NPLs. It recommends enhanced borrower monitoring and emphasizes the importance of expansionary policies by the National Bank of Ethiopia and the government to minimize credit risks. The key takeaway is the vital role of integrated financial and policy strategies in mitigating NPLs.

description: The lack of inversion symmetry in semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMDMs) enables a considerable molecular-level intrinsic piezoelectricity, which opens prospects for atomically-thin piezotronics and optoelectronics. Here, based on the tight-binding (TB) approach and Berry phase polarization theory, we establish an atomic-scale TB theory for demonstrating piezoelectric physics in TMDMs. Using the TB piezoelectric theory, we predict their electronic Grüneisen parameters (EGP) which measure the electron-phonon couplings. By virtue of the constructed analytical piezoelectric model, we further reveal the correlation between the electronic contribution to piezoelectric coefficients and strain-induced pseudomagnetic gauge field (PMF). These predicted EGP and PMF for TMDMs are experimentally testable, and hence the TB piezoelectric model is an alternative theoretical framework for calculating electron-phonon interactions and PMF.

description: Clinical data from electronic medical records, registries or trials provide a large source of information to apply machine learning methods in order to foster precision medicine, e.g. by finding new disease phenotypes or performing individual disease prediction. However, to take full advantage of deep learning methods on clinical data, architectures are necessary that 1) are robust with respect to missing and wrong values, and 2) can deal with highly variable-sized lists and long-term dependencies of individual diagnosis, procedures, measurements and medication prescriptions. In this work, we elaborate limitations of fully-connected neural networks and classical machine learning methods in this context and propose AdaptiveNet, a novel recurrent neural network architecture, which can deal with multiple lists of different events, alleviating the aforementioned limitations. We employ the architecture to the problem of disease progression prediction in rheumatoid arthritis using the Swiss Clinical Quality Management registry, which contains over 10.000 patients and more than 65.000 patient visits. Our proposed approach leads to more compact representations and outperforms the classical baselines.

description: We present a technique for simultaneous power-combining and wavelength-conversion of multiple fiber lasers into a single, lower wavelength in a different band through Raman-based, nonlinear power combining. We illustrate this by power combining of two independent Ytterbium lasers into a single wavelength around 1.5micron with high output powers of upto 99W. A high conversion efficiency of ~64% of the quantum limited efficiency and a high level of wavelength conversion with >85% of the output power in the final wavelength is demonstrated. The proposed method enables power-scaling in various wavelength bands where conventional fiber lasers are unavailable or limited in power.

description: Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is associated with serious physical and psychological health sequelae that affect quality and quantity of life. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour can prevent or diminish these sequelae; yet, little is known about how these lifestyle behaviours change after cancer treatment and if these changes affect post-treatment health. The first aim of this study is to describe natural trends in lifestyle behaviours (ie, PA, sedentary behaviour) in women treated for BC. The second aim is to examine the longitudinal associations between lifestyle behaviour changes and (1) physical health (eg, acute symptoms, chronic conditions, body composition, patient-reported fatigue, pain and functioning), (2) psychological health and illness (eg, depression, stress, affect, post-traumatic growth, cancer worry, mood, body image) and (3) biological functioning (eg, cortisol and C-reactive protein). The third aim is to examine modifiable self-regulation (ie, goal adjustment strategies) and motivation constructs (ie, self-determined regulations) that predict trends in lifestyle behaviours. Method and analysis: This is a prospective longitudinal study of 201 women treated for BC. Data (eg, surveys, accelerometers, saliva, blood) are collected every 3 months during the first year after women complete systemic treatment for a first diagnosis of BC, and once every year for 4 years thereafter. Data analyses assess trends and changes in PA and sedentary lifestyle behaviours, examine associations between these trends and changes in health outcomes and identify modifiable predictors of PA and sedentary lifestyle behaviours using multilevel modelling. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was obtained from the University of Toronto (REB# 28180) and has been funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (#186128). Study findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, academic conferences, local community-based presentations such as the Canadian Cancer Society and similar organisations.

description: Using the light-front kaon wave function based on a Bethe-Salpeter amplitude model for the quark-antiquark bound state, we study the Electromagnetic Form Factor (EMFF) of the kaon in nuclear medium within the framework of light-front field theory. The kaon model we adopt is well constrained by previous and recent studies to explain its properties in vacuum. The in-medium kaon EMFF is evaluated for the + component of the electromagnetic current, $J^+$, in the Breit frame. In order to consistently incorporate the constituent up and antistrange quarks of the kaon immersed in symmetric nuclear matter, we use the Quark-Meson Coupling (QMC) model, which has been widely applied to various hadronic and nuclear phenomena in a nuclear medium with success. We predict the in-medium modification of the kaon EMFF in symmetric nuclear matter. It is found that, after a fine tuning of the regulator mass, i.e. $m_R = 0.600$ GeV, the model is suitable to fit the available experimental data in vaccum within the theoretical uncertainties, and based on this we predict the in-medium modification of the EMFF.

Broad iron K-alpha emission lines as a diagnostic of black hole spin

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We address the ability of broad iron emission lines from black hole accretion disks to diagnose the spin of the black hole. Using a high-resolution 3-dimensional MHD simulation of a geometrically-thin accretion disk in a Pseudo-Newtonian potential, we show that both the midplane density and the vertical column density of the accretion flow drop dramatically over a narrow range of radii close to the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO). We argue that this drop of density is accompanied by a sharp increase in the ionization parameter of the X-ray photosphere, and that the resulting imprint of the ISCO on the X-ray reflection spectrum can be used to constrain spin. Motivated by this simulation, we construct a simplified toy-model of the accretion flow within the ISCO of a Kerr black hole, and use this model to estimate the systematic error on inferred black hole spin that may result from slight bleeding of the iron line emission to the region inside of the ISCO. We find that these systematic errors can be significant for slowly spinning black holes but become appreciably smaller as one considers more rapidly rotating black holes.

We use the results for HSV parameters which obtained in our paper [1] as appropriate values satisfying condition $ImV_{Q\bar{Q}}< 0$. We will show that, in this background the entropic force of the meson shows a decreasing behaviour corresponds to increasing dissociation length. Results of this paper are in agreement with our mentioned work. In addition we will find diffusion constant in an exact case and by an exact approach [2] which satisfies the mentioned condition in there.

description: We consider pulse propagation through a two component composite medium (metal inclusions in a dielectric host) with or without cavity mirrors. We show that a very thin slab of such a medium, under conditions of localized plasmon resonance, can lead to significant superluminality with detectable levels of transmitted pulse. A cavity containing the heterogeneous medium is shown to lead to subluminal-to-superluminal transmission depending on the volume fraction of the metal inclusions. The predictions of phase time calculations are verified by explicit calculations of the transmitted pulse shapes. We also demonstrate the independence of the phase time on system width and the volume fraction under specific conditions.

description: On the basis of the three fundamental principles of (i) Poincaré symmetry of space time, (ii) electromagnetic gauge symmetry, and (iii) unitarity, we construct an universal Lagrangian for the electromagnetic interactions of elementary vector particles, i.e., massive spin-1 particles transforming in the /1/2,1/2) representation space of the Homogeneous Lorentz Group (HLG). We make the point that the first two symmetries alone do not fix the electromagnetic couplings uniquely but solely prescribe a general Lagrangian depending on two free parameters, here denoted by ξand g. The first one defines the electric-dipole and the magnetic-quadrupole moments of the vector particle, while the second determines its magnetic-dipole and electric-quadrupole moments. In order to fix the parameters one needs an additional physical input suited for the implementation of the third principle. As such, one chooses Compton scattering off a vector target and requires the cross section to respect the unitarity bounds in the high energy limit. In result, we obtain the universal g=2, and ξ=0 values which completely characterize the electromagnetic couplings of the considered elementary vector field at tree level. The nature of this vector particle, Abelian versus non-Abelian, does not affect this structure. Merely, a partition of the g=2 value into non-Abelian, g_{na}, and Abelian, g_{a}=2-g_{na}, contributions occurs for non-Abelian fields with the size of g_{na} being determined by the specific non-Abelian group appearing in the theory of interest, be it the Standard Model or any other theory.

description: As the profession of software engineering evolves and matures, it must achieve some of the critical elements needed for recognition as a bona fide discipline. Among these elements are the establishment of a recognized body of knowledge (BOK) and certification of professional practitioners. The body of knowledge contained in this report is designed to complement the IEEE Computer Society's Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) by delineating the skills and concepts that compose the knowledge areas and competencies of a proven-effective process improvement method, the Personal Software Process (PSP). As adoption of the PSP methodology continues to grow, it becomes crucial to document the fundamental knowledge and skills that set PSP practitioners apart from other software professionals. The PSP BOK serves this purpose and more. It helps individual practitioners to assess and improve their own skills; provides employers with an objective baseline for assessing the personal process skills and capabilities of their product development team members; and guides academic institutions that want to incorporate PSP into their software and other engineering courses or curricula. The PSP BOK also facilitates the development of PSP certification programs that are based on a well-established, standard set of knowledge and skills.
On the Impact of COVID-19 on Crime in the US: Evidence from Maricopa County, Arizona and Los Angeles County, California

description: This paper investigates the short-term impact of COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders on crime in one Police Department in Maricopa, Arizona and three Police Departments in Los Angeles, California. Using daily data from Community Crime Map between January 2019 to June 2019 and January 2020 to June 2020, this paper finds that overall crime decreased by 0.4 percentage points during the pandemic. Using variation in the implementation of stay-at-home orders across the two states, this paper also finds that these policies led to a 1 percentage point decrease in overall crime. Conforming with anecdotal and empirical evidence, this paper finds heterogeneity across criminal offences. Analyzing the top 5 criminal offences in these two counties, it was seen that stay-at-home orders led to a statistically significant decrease in residential burglary and aggravated assault. However, these policies led to an increase in general theft, motor vehicle theft and commercial burglaries. The plausible channels through which COVID-19 impacts crime and explanations behind heterogeneity are discussed.

description: Several next-generation experiments aim to make the first measurement of the neutrino flux from the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) solar fusion cycle. We calculate how much time these experiments will need to run for in order to measure this flux with enough precision to tell us the metal content of the Sun's core, and thereby help to solve the solar metallicity problem. For experiments looking at neutrino-electron scattering, we find that SNO+ will measure this CNO neutrino flux with enough precision after five years in its pure scintillator mode, provided its $^{210}$Bi background is measured to 1% accuracy. By comparison, a 100~ton liquid argon experiment such as Argo will take ten years in Gran Sasso lab, or five years in SNOLAB or Jinping. Borexino could obtain this precision in ten years, but this projection is very sensitive to background assumptions. For experiments looking at neutrino-nucleus scattering, the best prospects are obtained for low-threshold solid state detectors (employing either germanium or silicon). These would require new technologies to lower the experimental threshold close to detection of single electron-hole pairs, and exposures beyond those projected for next-generation dark matter detectors.

description: Este artículo analiza críticamente las políticas de asistencia pública en Colombia, especialmente aquellas dirigidas a las víctimas del conflicto armado. Se centra en programas como "Familias en Acción", "Jóvenes en Acción" y la "Red de pobreza extrema" con el objetivo de determinar su efectividad en abordar los problemas de esta población. La hipótesis planteada sugiere que estas políticas no logran alcanzar completamente sus metas originales, por lo que se propone una audaz reingeniería que las transforme en políticas sociales universales basadas en los derechos humanos y la corresponsabilidad. Este cambio permitiría a las personas superar la vulnerabilidad de forma autónoma y romper el ciclo de la pobreza extrema. El artículo ofrece un análisis histórico y social completo respaldado por fuentes relevantes, y se realiza una evaluación del impacto normativo y la efectividad de las políticas. En resumen, se destaca la necesidad de repensar y reestructurar las políticas de asistencia pública en Colombia para lograr una sociedad más inclusiva y justa, mejorando así la vida de quienes más lo necesitan.
description: This article critically examines Colombia's public assistance policies, particularly those targeting victims of the armed conflict. It focuses on programs such as "Familias en Acción," "Jóvenes en Acción," and the "Red de pobreza extrema" to determine their effectiveness in addressing the issues faced by this population. The hypothesis suggests that these policies fall short of fully achieving their original goals, proposing a bold reengineering to transform them into universal social policies based on human rights and co-responsibility. This shift would enable individuals to overcome vulnerability autonomously and break the cycle of extreme poverty. The article provides a comprehensive historical and social analysis supported by relevant sources, conducting a meticulous assessment of normative impact and policy effectiveness. In summary, there is a need to rethink and restructure Colombia's public assistance policies to achieve a more inclusive and just society, thereby improving the lives of those who need it most.
