Scottish School-leavers Survey, 1993 : 1992 Leavers
Scottish School-Leavers Survey, 1992-
SSLS
Creators: name: Social And Community Planning Research
name: Scottish Office, Education Department
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1995

description: The Scottish Executive has sponsored surveys of school-leavers and young people since the early 1970s. These include the first incarnation of the Scottish School-Leavers Survey (SSLS) which, in the mid-1980s, was subsumed within the broader Scottish Young People's Survey (SYPS - this series is held at the UK Data Archive (UKDA) under GN 33227). Following a review in 1991 of the use made of the findings by the Scottish Executive Education and Industry Department (SEEID), the survey was redesigned and resumed the title of the Scottish School-Leavers Survey. A further review in 1996 led to the establishment of the current design, which involves sampling cohorts of young people in fourth year and then collecting data from them on four occasions, at the ages of 16-17, 18-19, 21-22 and 23-24 years.

The series is conducted for the Scottish Executive by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), who were known as Social and Community Planning Research prior to 1999. The Scottish Centre for Social Research (SCSR or ScotCen) was created in 2004 by combining NatCen's existing operation in Scotland with an independent research consultancy, Scottish Health Feedback. SCSR have now taken over the running of the SSLS series.

The SSLS series obtains information on the educational and employment activities of young people after they leave school; their views and experiences of school itself; and key decisions made about whether to stay on at school or not. In addition, background characteristics are gathered, such as parents' level of education and social class, family circumstances and housing tenure. One of the main aims of the survey is to try and predict demand for higher education. The survey involves a random sample of all pupils in the relevant school year group. The only exception is that pupils at special schools (but not those in mainstream schools registered as having special educational needs) are excluded from the survey. The sample consists of all pupils born on any one of certain predetermined days of the month.

description: Building energy performance benchmarking has been adopted widely in the USA and Canada through the Energy Star Portfolio Manager platform. Building operations and energy management professionals have long used a simple 1-100 score to understand how their building compares to its peers. This single number is easy to use, but is created by inaccurate linear regression (MLR) models. This paper proposes a methodology that enhances the existing Energy Star calculation method by increasing accuracy and providing additional model output processing to help explain why a building is achieving a certain score. We propose and test two new prediction models: multiple linear regression with feature interactions (MLRi) and gradient boosted trees (GBT). Both models have better average accuracy than the baseline Energy Star models. The third order MLRi and GBT models achieve 4.9% and 24.9% increase in adjusted R2, respectively, and 7.0% and 13.7% decrease in normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE), respectively, on average than MLR models for six building types. Even more importantly, a set of techniques is developed to help determine which factors most influence the score using SHAP values. The SHAP force visualization in particular offers an accessible overview of the aspects of the building that influence the score that non-technical users can readily interpret. This methodology is tested on the 2012 Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS)(1,812 buildings) and public data sets from the energy disclosure programs of New York City (11,131 buildings) and Seattle (2,073 buildings).
Individual Commitment to Lifetime Learning : Individuals' Attitudes, 1993
Individual Commitment to Lifetime Learning, 1993-1994
Creators: name: Social And Community Planning Research
Publisher: name: UK Data Service
Year: 1995

description: The Employment Department have commissioned three studies of attitudes to individual commitment to learning. The first in the series examined individuals' attitudes to learning (SN:3305), the second was concerned with employers' attitudes to learning (SN:3445) while the third covered the providers of adult learning (SN:3446). Taken together, the three studies have been designed to produce an overall picture and explanation of attitudes to adult learning.

 The aim of this study, the first in the series, was to increase understanding of, experience of, and attitudes towards, vocational learning; identify barriers to participation in vocational learning; examine impact which removal of barriers might have on take up of learning.

description: We study the Cardy-like asymptotics of the 4d $\mathcal N=4$ index and demonstrate the existence of partially deconfined phases where the asymptotic growth of the index is not as rapid as in the fully deconfined case. We then take the large-$N$ limit after the Cardy-like limit and make a conjecture for the leading asymptotics of the index. While the Cardy-like behavior is derived using the integral representation of the index, we demonstrate how the same results can be obtained using the Bethe ansatz type approach as well. In doing so, we discover new non-standard solutions to the elliptic Bethe ansatz equations including continuous families of solutions for $SU(N)$ theory with $N\ge3$. We argue that the existence of both standard and continuous non-standard solutions has a natural interpretation in terms of vacua of $\mathcal N=1^*$ theory on $\mathbb R^3\times S^1$.

description: Our understanding of the dynamics of complex networked systems has increased significantly in the last two decades. However, most of our knowledge is built upon assuming pairwise relations among the system's components. This is often an oversimplification, for instance, in social interactions that occur frequently within groups. To overcome this limitation, here we study the dynamics of social contagion on hypergraphs. We develop an analytical framework and provide numerical results for arbitrary hypergraphs, which we also support with Monte Carlo simulations. Our analyses show that the model has a vast parameter space, with first and second-order transitions, bi-stability, and hysteresis. Phenomenologically, we also extend the concept of latent heat to social contexts, which might help understanding oscillatory social behaviors. Our work unfolds the research line of higher-order models and the analytical treatment of hypergraphs, posing new questions and paving the way for modeling dynamical processes on these networks.

description: We investigate the accuracy of weak lensing simulations by comparing the results of five independently developed lensing simulation codes run on the same input $N$-body simulation. Our comparison focuses on the lensing convergence maps produced by the codes, and in particular on the corresponding PDFs, power spectra and peak counts. We find that the convergence power spectra of the lensing codes agree to $\lesssim 2\%$ out to scales $\ell \approx 4000$. For lensing peak counts, the agreement is better than $5\%$ for peaks with signal-to-noise $\lesssim 6$. We also discuss the systematic errors due to the Born approximation, line-of-sight discretization, particle noise and smoothing. The lensing codes tested deal in markedly different ways with these effects, but they nonetheless display a satisfactory level of agreement. Our results thus suggest that systematic errors due to the operation of existing lensing codes should be small. Moreover their impact on the convergence power spectra for a lensing simulation can be predicted given its numerical details, which may then serve as a validation test.

description: Dark markets are commercial websites that use Bitcoin to sell or broker transactions involving drugs, weapons, and other illicit goods. Being illegal, they do not offer any user protection, and several police raids and scams have caused large losses to both customers and vendors over the past years. However, this uncertainty has not prevented a steady growth of the dark market phenomenon and a proliferation of new markets. The origin of this resilience have remained unclear so far, also due to the difficulty of identifying relevant Bitcoin transaction data. Here, we investigate how the dark market ecosystem re-organises following the disappearance of a market, due to factors including raids and scams. To do so, we analyse 24 episodes of unexpected market closure through a novel datasets of 133 million Bitcoin transactions involving 31 dark markets and their users, totalling 4 billion USD. We show that coordinated user migration from the closed market to coexisting markets guarantees overall systemic resilience beyond the intrinsic fragility of individual markets. The migration is swift, efficient and common to all market closures. We find that migrants are on average more active users in comparison to non-migrants and move preferentially towards the coexisting market with the highest trading volume. Our findings shed light on the resilience of the dark market ecosystem and we anticipate that they may inform future research on the self-organisation of emerging online markets.

description: We study the Hawking-Turok (HT) instanton solutions which have been employed to describe the creation of an open inflationary universe, in the context of higher derivative theories. We consider the effects of adding quadratic and cubic terms of the forms $αR^{2}$ and $βR^{3}$ to the gravitational action. Using a conformal transformation to convert the higher derivative theories into theories of self interacting scalar fields minimally coupled to Einstein gravity, we argue that the cubic term represents a generic perturbation of the polynomial type to the action and obtain the conditions on the parameters of these theories for the existence of singular and non-singular instanton solutions. We find that, relative to the quadratic case, there are significant changes in the nature of the constraints on the parameters for the existence of these instantons, once cubic (and higher order perturbations) are added to the action.

description: In the light of KamLAND data just released, we reanalyze and update the constraints on neutrino masses and mixing parameters, the most general ones that can be derived in three-flavor mixing scheme of neutrinos with use of the bounds imposed by neutrinoless double beta decay search and reactor experiments. We point out that with KamLAND data and assuming Majorana neutrinos one can derive, for the first time, an upper bound on neutrino contribution to the cosmological Ωparameter, Ω_ν \leq 0.070 h^{-2}, by using the current upper bound on mass parameters obtained by Heidelberg-Moscow group, < m >_{ββ} < 0.35 eV (90 % CL). If the bound is tighten to < m >_{ββ} < 0.1 eV by future experiments, it would lead to a far severer bound Ω_ν \lsim 0.01 h^{-2}.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The afterglow emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is believed to originate from a relativistic blast wave driven into the circumburst medium. Although the afterglow emission from radio up to X-ray frequencies is thought to originate from synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistic, non-thermal electrons accelerated by the blast wave, the origin of the emission at high energies (HE; $\gtrsim$~GeV) remains uncertain. The recent detection of sub-TeV emission from GRB~190114C by MAGIC raises further debate on what powers the very high-energy (VHE; $\gtrsim 300$GeV) emission. Here, we explore the inverse Compton scenario as a candidate for the HE and VHE emissions, considering two sources of seed photons for scattering: synchrotron photons from the blast wave (synchrotron self-Compton or SSC) and isotropic photon fields external to the blast wave (external Compton). For each case, we compute the multi-wavelength afterglow spectra and light curves. We find that SSC will dominate particle cooling and the GeV emission, unless a dense ambient infrared photon field, typical of star-forming regions, is present. Additionally, considering the extragalactic background light attenuation, we discuss the detectability of VHE afterglows by existing and future gamma-ray instruments for a wide range of model parameters. Studying GRB~190114C, we find that its afterglow emission in the \fermi-LAT band is synchrotron-dominated.The late-time \fermi-LAT measurement (i.e., $t\sim 10^4$~s), and the MAGIC observation also set an upper limit on the energy density of a putative external infrared photon field (i.e. $\lesssim 3\times 10^{-9}\,{\rm erg\,cm^{-3}}$), making the inverse Compton dominant in the sub-TeV energies.

Efficient First-Principles Approach with a Pseudohybrid Density Functional for Extended Hubbard Interactions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: For fast and accurate calculations of band gaps of solids, we present an {\it ab initio} method that extends the density functional theory plus on-site Hubbard interaction (DFT+$U$) to include inter-site Hubbard interaction ($V$). This formalism is appropriate for considering various interactions such as a local Coulomb repulsion, covalent hybridizations, and their coexistence in solids. To achieve self-consistent evaluations of $U$ and $V$, we adapt a recently proposed Agapito-Curtarolo-Buongiorno Nardelli pseudohybrid functional for DFT$+U$ to implement a density functional of $V$ and obtain band gaps of diverse bulk materials as accurate as those from $GW$ or hybrid functionals methods with a standard DFT computational cost. Moreover, we also show that computed band gaps of few layers black phosphorous and Si(111)-($2\times1$) surface agree with experiments very well, thus meriting the new method for large-scale as well as high throughput calculations with higher accuracy.

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.

 The second edition of the dataset (May 2001) includes information on location of accident (Easting/Northing, Road Number etc.) not previously deposited with the UK Data Archive.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of the damped Lya abundance database presented in the first paper of this series. This database provides a homogeneous set of abundance measurements for many elements including Si, Cr, Ni, Zn, Fe, Al, S, Co, O, and Ar from 38 damped Lya systems with z > 1.5. With little exception, these damped Llya systems exhibit very similar relative abundances. There is no significant correlation in X/Fe with [Fe/H] metallicity and the dispersion in X/Fe is small at all metallicity. We search the database for trends indicative of dust depletion and in a few cases find strong evidence. Specifically, we identify a correlation between [Si/Ti] and [Zn/Fe] which is unambiguous evidence for depletion. We present a discussion on the nucleosynthetic history of the damped Lya systems by focusing on abundance patterns which are minimally affected by dust depletion. We find [Si/Fe] -> +0.25 dex as [Zn/Fe] -> 0 and that the [Si/Fe] values exhibit a plateau of ~+0.3 dex at [Si/H] < -1.5 dex. Together these trends indicate significant alpha-enrichment in the damped Lya systems at low metallicity, an interpretation further supported by the observed O/Fe, S/Fe and Ar/Fe ratios. We also discuss Fe-peak nucleosynthesis and the odd-even effect. To assess the impact of dust obscuration, we present estimates of the dust-to-gas ratios for the damped Lya sightlines and crudely calculate dust extinction corrections. The distribution of extinction corrections suggests the effects of dust obscuration are minimal and that the population of 'missing' damped systems has physical characteristics similar to the observed sample. We update our investigation on the chemical evolution of the early universe in neutral gas. [significantly abridged]

description: Optimisation of mol% of SCe catalyst, and selection of medium for cyclization reaction. To optimize the reaction conditions for the synthesis of novel 1,2,4-triazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, the reaction was performed in combination of 4-amino-5-phenyl-4 h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 3-oxo-3-(p-tolyl)propanoic acid as a model reaction in different concentrations of SCe and solvent. The optimal system for cyclization was 20 mol% of SCe in DMF. Table S2. Evaluation of the reuse of SCe for cyclization reaction. The recyclability of the SCe system was evaluated by employing 4-amino-5-phenyl-4 h-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol with 3-oxo-3-(p-tolyl)propanoic acid to yield 2-(3-Phenyl-[1, 2, 4]triazolo[3,4-b][1, 3, 4]thiadiazol-6yl)-1-p-tolylethanone. The catalyst was removed by filtration after each run and thoroughly washed with acetone, dried and activated at 823 K and taken for the next cycle. There was a significant reduction in the yield of the product after the second run using SCe. Figure S1. Spectral data. Scanned copy of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and mass spectra of the indicated compounds.

description: The speckle pattern produced when a laser is scattered by a disordered medium has recently been shown to give a surprisingly accurate or broadband measurement of wavelength. Here it is shown that deep learning is an ideal approach to analyse wavelength variations using a speckle wavemeter due to its ability to identify trends and overcome low signal to noise ratio in complex datasets. This combination enables wavelength measurement at high precision over a broad operating range in a single step, with a remarkable capability to reject instrumental and environmental noise, which has not been possible with previous approaches. It is demonstrated that the noise rejection capabilities of deep learning provide attometre-scale wavelength precision over an operating range from 488 nm to 976 nm. This dynamic range is six orders of magnitude beyond the state of the art.

Revenue Sharing in European Football: An Assessment of the Bundesliga’s New Four-Pillar Model
Creators: name: Bretschneider, Niklas T.
Publisher: name: Junior Management Science
Year: 2018

description: This thesis assesses the Bundesliga’s recently introduced TV revenue sharing system. Despite the prominent literature dis-cussing the relationship between revenue sharing in team sports and competitive balance, evaluations of specific distribution systems are limited. Hence, very little is known about the repercussions of different allocation keys on leagues and clubs. Contributing to the sports economics literature, this thesis examines the key decision factors that influence the effectiveness of revenue sharing systems, and analyses the feasibility of the Bundesliga’s reformed system. It starts with defining the new system, before introducing its background and a brief history of revenue sharing in the Bundesliga. Then this thesis sketches the most important concepts in sports economics, i.e. competitive balance and demand, before pointing out interdependencies between them. Afterwards, revenue sharing is introduced as a means to enhance competitive balance, including a brief description of alternative mechanisms. To compare the new model externally, revenue sharing models of other major sports leagues are presented. Finally, it evaluates the Bundesliga’s current situation in order to comprehend the league’s potential objectives. The thesis discusses possibilities on how revenue sharing can help the Bundesliga achieve those objectives, and ultimately assesses the new system’s feasibility in doing so. After modelling the league’s potential reaction to different revenue sharing models, its result is that the four-pillar model features several useful mechanisms, but does not give sufficient weight to them. The thesis’ assessment consequently is that the reformed system can be generally seen as positive, with room for further enhancements. It concludes with some starting points for potential future improvements, namely (1) increasing the equally-distributed share, (2) scaling up the new pillars’ relative importance and mitigating the danger of an overdominant team, and (3) implementing a top-to-bottom maximum payout cap.

description: The NFIP’s Community Rating System (CRS) adopted in the early 1990s is an incentive program that recognizes, encourages, and rewards – by the use of flood insurance premium reductions – community and state activities that go beyond the minimum NFIP requirements. With an access to the entire dataset of the CRS from FEMA, over a period of 15 years (1998-2012) we perform longitudinal analysis of active CRS communities and answer the questions such as: How does the distribution of communities look like across all CRS activities? Do the communities improve their CRS classes over time? How long does it take for CRS communities to move up in class? What’s the tenure in the CRS? Do many communities drop their participation after just a few years in a similar way that many residents drop their flood insurance coverage after just three of four years (Michel-Kerjan et al, 2012)? Overall we find that the CRS program works well. It keeps attracting more communities every year, the tenure is very high with 99% of participation communities remaining in the program from year to year. The distribution of scores across all communities has also improved overtime; the average number of activities communities are involved in increase 20% between 1998 and 2012 (from 10 to 12, out of 18 possible ones). There are positive moves within activities as well.

description: We extend the concept of Lifshits--Krein spectral shift function associated with a pair of self-adjoint operators to the case of pairs of admissible operators that are similar to self-adjoint operators. Our main result is the following. Let \cH_0 and \cH_1 be separable Hilbert spaces, A_0 a self-adjoint operator in \cH_0, A_1 a self-adjoint operator in \cH_1, and B_{ij} a bounded operator from \cH_j to \cH_i, i=0,1, j=1-i, and B_10=B_01^*. Assume that the block operator matrix \bH=\bA+\bB=(A_0 & B_01 B_{10}& A_1) has reducing graph subspaces of the form {x_i\oplus Q_ji x_i: x_i\in\cH_i}, i=0,1, j=1-i, and Q_ji are Hilbert-Schmidt operators such that Q_ji=-Q_ij^*. If both (\bH-z\bI)^{-1}-(\bA-z\bI)^{-1} and \bB\bQ(\bA-z\bI)^{-1} are trace class operators in \cH for \Img(z)\neq 0, then the operators A_i+B_ij Q_ji and A_i, i=0,1, j=1-i, acting in the spaces \cH_i are resolvent comparable admissible operators. Moreover, the spectral shift function ξ(x,\bH,\bA) associated with the pair (\bH,\bA) admits the representation ξ(x,\bH,\bA)=ξ(x,A_0+B_01 Q_10,A_0)+ ξ(x,A_1+B_10 Q_01,A_1). We also obtain new representations for the solution to the operator Sylvester equation in the form of Stieltjes operator integrals and formulate sufficient criterion for the strong solvability of the operator Riccati equation that ensures the existence of reducing graph subspaces for block operator matrices.

A study of $Λ$ and $\barΛ$ polarization splitting by meson field in PICR hydrodynamic model

description: With the PICR hydrodynamic model, we study the polarization splitting between $Λ$ and $\barΛ$ at RHIC BES energy range, based on the meson field mechanism. Our results fit to the experimental data fairly well. Besides, two unexpected effect emerges: (1) the baryon density gradient has non-trivial and negative contribution to the polarization splitting; (2) for 7.7 GeV Au+Au collisions within the centrality range of 20\%-50\%, the polarization splitting surprisingly increases with the centrality decreases. The second effect might help to explain the significant signal of polarization splitting measured in STAR's Au+Au 7.7 Gev collisions.
Trade Liberalisation and its Impact on the Rice Sector of Sri Lanka

description: This paper examines the impact of trade intervention policies. The trade protection for the rice sector was estimated using both nominal and effective protection rates. These show positive protection to producers at the expense of consumers. Current analysis indicates that one rupee of resources is used to produce 56 cents worth of rice valued in foreign exchange. As trade is increasingly liberalised, protection will be eventually eliminated and rice farmers will be forced to produce rice at competitive prices. Consequently, the extent under rice is expected to decrease by 12 per cent and total production decreases by 16 per cent. Meanwhile demand for rice will increase as a result of the reduction in retail price. Overall welfare impacts reveal that it is a gain to the nation. However, the producers face welfare losses. Therefore concerted and simultaneous efforts are imperative to improve productivity growth and reduce the unit cost of production in order to improve the competitiveness of the rice sector so that it can compete with the rest of the world.

description: In this paper we investigate the optimal taxation of CO2 and its co-pollutants. While CO2 is a uniformly mixed stock pollutant, important CO2 co-pollutants like SO2, PM2.5 and PM10 are flow pollutants with spatially differentiated damages. Recent proposals have called for CO2 control that accounts for its effects on emissions of its co-pollutants, which implies that optimal CO2 taxes would have a spatial component. However we demonstrate that setting a CO2 tax that varies from its marginal damage is justified only if co-pollutants are regulated inefficiently. We demonstrate that the optimal CO2 tax deviates from the CO2 marginal damage across sources depending on the source-specific co-pollutant marginal damage, the level of inefficiency in the co-pollutant regulation, and the abatement cost interaction of the two pollutants. An alternative to adjusting CO2 policy to account for the inefficient regulation of a co-pollutant is to address the inefficiency directly by modifying the regulation of the co-pollutant. Since this approach is more efficient in general, we quantify the expected reduction in social costs from this regulation relative to adjusting CO2 taxes. With a simulation of CO2 and SO2 control from the U.S. power sector, we find that setting efficient taxes for both CO2 and SO2 provides a welfare gain that is likely to be many orders of magnitude greater than the gain from adjusting CO2 taxes to account for the inefficient regulation of SO2.

description: First order rotational perturbations of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric are considered in the framework of the brane-world cosmological models. A rotation equation, relating the perturbations of the metric tensor to the angular velocity of the matter on the brane is derived under the assumption of slow rotation. The mathematical structure of the rotation equation imposes strong restrictions on the temporal and spatial dependence of the brane matter angular velocity. The study of the integrable cases of the rotation equation leads to three distinct models, which are considered in detail. As a general result we find that, similarly to the general relativistic case, the rotational perturbations decay due to the expansion of the matter on the brane. One of the obtained consistency conditions leads to a particular, purely inflationary brane-world cosmological model, with the cosmological fluid obeying a non-linear barotropic equation of state.
