Abstract:
Rules for non-orthogonal borders of irregular domain is the thorny issues when using analytical method for solving mathematical and physical equations. On the basis of solution in the form of separated variables, the border of arbitrary shape with non-orthogonal boundary will be separated into a limited number of discrete points, and then direct assignment for the form solution at each of the discrete points on the border according to boundary conditions, at every discrete points on the border can establish an equation. If the number of discrete points on the border is the same with truncated series after retained series, all coefficients of the form solution can be determined and the problem solved. This paper use Laplace equation as an example to illustrate Collocation Trefftz Method can solve certain steady-state heat conduction problems within non-orthogonal border and irregular domain.

Abstract:
This study aims to uncover the role of the Schengen borders of the European Union in rural and settlement development. Schengen integration applies certain restrictions at the external border-crossings, so the filtering role is to be taken into consideration. In addition to the disappearance of borders in the globalising economic area, the strict Schengen rules further burden the development of cross-border interactions, bringing about less frequent border crossings. Moreover, the economic integration of the affected borderlands would remain sluggish. The author points to the fact that the dynamics of a border interaction system should include a Schengen border degree between the interdependent and integrated borderland levels. Consequently, the Schengen borderlands should be in the focus of further border studies.

Abstract:
State borders create a discontinuous tax treatment of retail sales. In a Nash game, local tax rates will be higher on the low state tax side of a border. Local taxes will decrease from the nearest high-tax border and increase from the low-tax border. Using driving time from state borders and all local sales tax rates, local tax rates on the lowtax side of the border are 1.25 percentage points higher, reducing the differential in state tax rates by over three-quarters. A ten minute increase in driving time from the nearest high-tax state lowers a border town's local tax rate by 6 percent. (JEL H25, H71, H73, H77)

Abstract:
Borders have been a political tool to control, manipulate and affect the lives and movements of individual and groups. These borders can also work as a barrier designed and used to discriminate against specific ethnic, religious, or linguistic groups and individuals for political reasons. In specific cases, borders can create a generation of exception, where the lives of a particular group of individuals matter less than others. The Palestinians in Gaza have been living in a state of exception, where their lives have been animalized and constrained both within the Gaza Strip, but also outside the Gaza Strip, at border points of entry in many places. This paper is an auto-ethnography of the lives of Palestinians as a state of exception, visa violence, airports and borders. It examines and describes, as an anthropological phenomenon, experiences such as visa application processes, rejection, travel and encounters with border officials. The article starts with describing the state of exception of a generation who were born and grew up under Israeli occupation. The paper then examines and analyzes the process and ritual of travelling as a quasi-citizen through various border points of entry. This article is an anthropological narrative of how a continuous state of exception and profiling of an individual creates a homo-sacer man.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article uses the British colonial history of border making in northern India to examine the assumptions and contradictions at work in the theorizing, configuring, and mapping of frontiers and borders. It focuses, in particular, on the development of the ‘water-parting principle’ – wherein the edge of a watershed is considered to be the border – and how this principle was used to determine boundaries in the northwestern Himalaya, a region that had long-established notions of border points, but no borderlines. By the twentieth century, the water-parting principle would become the dominant boundary logic for demarcating borders in mountainous regions, and would be employed by statesmen, treaty editors, and boundary commissioners around the world. But for the northwestern Himalaya, a region that British colonial officials considered to be the ‘finest natural combination of boundary and barrier that exists in the world’, making a border proved much more difficult than anticipated.

Abstract:
Most widely accepted measures of performance for learning algorithms, such as accuracy and area under the ROC curve, provide information about behavior at the data set level. They say nothing about which instances are misclassified, whether two learning algorithms with the same classification accuracy on a data set misclassify the same instances, or whether there are instances misclassified by all learning algorithms. These questions about behavior at the instance level motivate our empirical analysis of instance hardness, a measure of expected classification accuracy for an instance. We analyze the classification of 57 data sets using 9 learning algorithms. Of the over 175000 instances investigated, 5% are misclassified by all 9 of the considered learning algorithms, and 15% are misclassified by at least half. We find that the major cause of misclassification for hard instances is class overlap, manifested as outliers and border points which can be exacerbated by class skew. We analyze these causes and show to what extent each leads to misclassifications, both in isolation and jointly. 19.8% of all misclassified instances are outliers; 71.3% are border points; 21% belong to a minority class. We also find that 91.6% of all outliers and 38.3% of all border points are misclassified whereas only 3.5% of instances without class overlap are misclassified. We propose a set of heuristics to predict when an instance will be hard to correctly classify. Additionally, we analyze how different learning algorithms perform on tasks with varying degrees of outliers, border points and class skew.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 79).
A border could be a physical obstacle but beyond it physicality-it could also impact culture, politics, economic and environment. Our issues that we are facing today and in the near future requires us to draw a new non geopolitical map without borders for our planet to address our challenges more effectively. Being adoptable and flexible is one of the solutions or at least a condition where we could discuss and resolve differences. This project on its path is criticizing UN's inflexible Architecture; it's Urbanity and argues that the function, form and place could impact the decision making process. To have this concept more appealing to nations to participate in its creation we need environments where no nation has authority over them. International Water is that environment for this Utopian idea as a place for civic and political exchange free from existing conventional authorities existed in the world and only 12 NM away form shore lines. Water would give this dense city type environments in dependency from land and nation's jurisdictions and allow more nations to join its cause eventually. Also, With more body of water on our planet today more than ever it seems logical to study a place for refuge where we could live and grow. Refugees are rising due to increase in conflicts and environmental issues worldwide today more than ever. Millions got displaced and countries and organizations are not able to coop with the scale of the issues on their own. The Floating infrastructure is the place for humanity purposes. This place is designed to be able to sustain itself by creating its own energy, food nd desalination systems to make a living condition possible. Floating concrete infrastructures seems viable, due to the advancement in concrete research and technology almost all around the world. Infrastructures that can move and expand to create metabolic forms of function as autonomous forms for many years, sustainable and independent form the land, is what this project is trying to investigate.

Abstract:
Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'analyse de plusieurs situations de vote impliquant la famille des règles avec classements par points. Toutes les études sont menées dans un cadre probabiliste en s'appuyant sur des hypothèses standards utilisées en théorie du choix social pour le vote entre trois options. Dans un premier temps, nous étudions une nouvelle notion, la stabilité d'un ensemble de règles de vote. En particulier, nous discutons la stabilité d'un ensemble composé de règles célèbres appartenant à la famille des règles avec classements par points. Nous présentons ensuite une contribution à l'analyse du paradoxe de Borda. Nous généralisons les résultats connus dans la littérature en donnant la probabilité de l'apparition de ce type de paradoxe pour toute règle avec classements par points. Le dernier apport de cette thèse nous permet de définir un nouvel environnement qui englobe aussi bien toutes les règles avec classements par points, que le vote par approbation. En introduisant une nouvelle hypothèse probabiliste, nous réétudions l'efficience de Condorcet dans ce nouveau cadre étendu
The purpose of the present Thesis is concerned with the study of several voting situations involving the large category of scoring voting rules. The studies are conducted using a probabilistic framework based on standard assumptions used in social choice theory for three candidate election. First, we examine a new concept, the stability of a voting rules set. In particular, we discuss the stability of a set composed by well-known scoring voting rules. Second, we present a contribution to the analysis of Borda's paradox. We extend known results from the literature by giving the occurrence of this paradox for each scoring voting rule. In the final contribution of this thesis, we define a new framework which includes both scoring voting rules, and approval voting. The main objective of this study is to revisit the Condorcet efficiency in this extended framework by introducing a new probabilistic assumption

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous étudions des développements de la théorie métrique des points critiques d'une part, et de la théorie métrique des bornes d'erreur d'autre part. Dans le premier cas, nous établissons essentiellement des résultats abstraits en situation d'enlacement, que nous appliquons à des problèmes d'équations aux dérivées partielles dits doublement résonants. Dans le second cas, nous développons une théorie des bornes d'erreur non linéaires. Ces théories sont respectivement basées sur la notion de pente faible d'une fonction continue et des techniques de déformation, et sur la notion de pente forte d'une fonction semi-continue inférieurement et le principe variationnel. De plus, le principe de changement de métrique constitue un outil commun aux deux théories
In this thesis, we study some developments of the metric critical point theory on the one hand, and of the metric error bound theory on the other hand. As for the former, we essentially establish some abstract results in the presence of linking, that we apply to so-called doubly resonant problems for elliptic partial differential equations. As for the latter, we develop a nonlinear error bound theory. These theories are based on the notion of weak slope of a continuous function and deformation techniques, and on the notion of strong slope of a lower semicontinuous function and the variational principle, respectively. Moreover, the so-called change-of-metric principle is used as a common tool for both theories

Abstract:
This study has collected and analysed a database of place-names containing potential ethnonymic elements. Competing models of ethnicity are investigated and applied to names about which there is reasonable confidence. A number of motivations for employment of ethnonyms in place-names emerge. Ongoing interaction between ethnicities is marked by reference to domain or borderland, and occasional interaction by reference to resource or transit. More superficial interaction is expressed in names of commemorative, antiquarian or figurative motivation. The implications of the names for our understanding of the history of individual ethnicities are considered. Distribution of Walh-names has been extended north into Scotland; but reference may be to Romance-speaking feudal incomers, not the British. Briton-names are confirmed in Cumberland and are found on and beyond the fringes of the polity of Strathclyde. Dumbarton, however, is an antiquarian coining. Distribution of Cumbrian-names suggests that the south side of the Solway Firth was not securely under Cumbrian influence; but also that the ethnicity, expanding in the tenth century, was found from the Ayrshire coast to East Lothian, with the Saxon culture under pressure in the Southern Uplands. An ethnonym borrowed from British in the name Cumberland and the Lothian outlier of Cummercolstoun had either entered northern English dialect or was being employed by the Cumbrians themselves to coin these names in Old English. If the latter, such self-referential pronouncement in a language contact situation was from a position of status, in contrast to the ethnicism of the Gaels. Growing Gaelic self-awareness is manifested in early-modern domain demarcation and self-referential naming of routes across the cultural boundary. But by the nineteenth century cultural change came from within, with the impact felt most acutely in west-mainland and Hebridean Argyll, according to the toponymic evidence. Earlier interfaces between Gaelic and Scots are indicated on the east of the Firth of Clyde by the early fourteenth century, under the Sidlaws and in Buchan by the fifteenth, in Caithness and in Perthshire by the sixteenth. Earlier, Norse-speakers may have referred to Gaels in the hills of Kintyre. The border between Scotland and England was toponymically marked, but not until the modern era. In Carrick, Argyll and north and west of the Great Glen, Albanians were to be contrasted, not necessarily linguistically, from neighbouring Gaelic-speakers; Alba is probably to be equated with the ancient territory of Scotia. Early Scot-names, recorded from the twelfth century, similarly reflect expanding Scotian influence in Cumberland and Lothian. However, late instances refer to Gaelic-speakers. Most Eireannach-names refer to wedder goats rather than the ethnonym, but residual Gaelic-speakers in east Dumfriesshire are indicated by Erisch­-names at the end of the fifteenth century or later. Others west into Galloway suggest an earlier Irish immigration, probably as a consequence of normanisation and of engagement in Irish Sea politics. Other immigrants include French estate administrators, Flemish wool producers and English feudal subjects. The latter have long been discussed, but the relationship of the north-eastern Ingliston-names to mottes is rejected, and that of the south-western Ingleston-names is rather to former motte-hills with degraded fortifications. Most Dane-names are also antiquarian, attracted less by folk memory than by modern folklore. The Goill could also be summoned out of the past to explain defensive remains in particular. Antiquarianism in the eighteenth century onwards similarly ascribed many remains to the Picts and the Cruithnians, though in Shetland a long-standing supernatural association with the Picts may have been maintained. Ethnicities were invoked to personify past cultures, but ethnonyms also commemorate actual events, typified by Sasannach-names. These tend to recall dramatic, generally fatal, incidents, usually involving soldiers or sailors. Any figures of secular authority or hostile activity from outwith the community came to be considered Goill, but also agents of ecclesiastical authority or economic activity and passing travellers by land or sea. The label Goill, ostensibly providing 178 of the 652 probable ethnonymic database entries, is in most names no indication of ethnicity, culture or language. It had a medieval geographical reference, however, to Hebrideans, and did develop renewed, early-modern specificity in response to a vague concept of Scottish society outwith the Gaelic cultural domain. The study concludes by considering the forms of interaction between ethnicities and looking at the names as a set. It proposes classification of those recalled in the names as overlord, interloper or native.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l'étude des performances d'estimateurs en traitement du signal, et s'attache en particulier à étudier les bornes inférieures de l'erreur quadratique moyenne (EQM) pour l'estimation de points de rupture, afin de caractériser le comportement d'estimateurs, tels que celui du maximum de vraisemblance (dans le contexte fréquentiste), mais surtout du maximum a posteriori ou de la moyenne conditionnelle (dans le contexte bayésien). La difficulté majeure provient du fait que, pour un signal échantillonné, les paramètres d'intérêt (à savoir les points de rupture) appartiennent à un espace discret. En conséquence, les résultats asymptotiques classiques (comme la normalité asymptotique du maximum de vraisemblance) ou la borne de Cramér-Rao ne s'appliquent plus. Quelques résultats sur la distribution asymptotique du maximum de vraisemblance provenant de la communauté mathématique sont actuellement disponibles, mais leur applicabilité à des problèmes pratiques de traitement du signal n'est pas immédiate. Si l'on décide de concentrer nos efforts sur l'EQM des estimateurs comme indicateur de performance, un travail important autour des bornes inférieures de l'EQM a été réalisé ces dernières années. Plusieurs études ont ainsi permis de proposer des inégalités plus précises que la borne de Cramér-Rao. Ces dernières jouissent en outre de conditions de régularité plus faibles, et ce, même en régime non asymptotique, permettant ainsi de délimiter la plage de fonctionnement optimal des estimateurs. Le but de cette thèse est, d'une part, de compléter la caractérisation de la zone asymptotique (en particulier lorsque le rapport signal sur bruit est élevé et/ou pour un nombre d'observations infini) dans un contexte d'estimation de points de rupture. D'autre part, le but est de donner les limites fondamentales de l'EQM d'un estimateur dans la plage non asymptotique. Les outils utilisés ici sont les bornes inférieures de l’EQM de la famille Weiss-Weinstein qui est déjà connue pour être plus précise que la borne de Cramér-Rao dans les contextes, entre autres, de l’analyse spectrale et du traitement d’antenne. Nous fournissons une forme compacte de cette famille dans le cas d’un seul et de plusieurs points de ruptures puis, nous étendons notre analyse aux cas où les paramètres des distributions sont inconnus. Nous fournissons également une analyse de la robustesse de cette famille vis-à-vis des lois a priori utilisées dans nos modèles. Enfin, nous appliquons ces bornes à plusieurs problèmes pratiques : données gaussiennes, poissonniennes et processus exponentiels
This thesis deals with the study of estimators' performance in signal processing. The focus is the analysis of the lower bounds on the Mean Square Error (MSE) for abrupt change-point estimation. Such tools will help to characterize performance of maximum likelihood estimator in the frequentist context but also maximum a posteriori and conditional mean estimators in the Bayesian context. The main difficulty comes from the fact that, when dealing with sampled signals, the parameters of interest (i.e., the change points) lie on a discrete space. Consequently, the classical large sample theory results (e.g., asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator) or the Cramér-Rao bound do not apply. Some results concerning the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood only are available in the mathematics literature but are currently of limited interest for practical signal processing problems. When the MSE of estimators is chosen as performance criterion, an important amount of work has been provided concerning lower bounds on the MSE in the last years. Then, several studies have proposed new inequalities leading to tighter lower bounds in comparison with the Cramér-Rao bound. These new lower bounds have less regularity conditions and are able to handle estimators’ MSE behavior in both asymptotic and non-asymptotic areas. The goal of this thesis is to complete previous results on lower bounds in the asymptotic area (i.e. when the number of samples and/or the signal-to-noise ratio is high) for change-point estimation but, also, to provide an analysis in the non-asymptotic region. The tools used here will be the lower bounds of the Weiss-Weinstein family which are already known in signal processing to outperform the Cramér-Rao bound for applications such as spectral analysis or array processing. A closed-form expression of this family is provided for a single and multiple change points and some extensions are given when the parameters of the distributions on each segment are unknown. An analysis in terms of robustness with respect to the prior influence on our models is also provided. Finally, we apply our results to specific problems such as: Gaussian data, Poisson data and exponentially distributed data

Ensuite, en mettant en évidence le caractère lipschitzien de ces constantes, nous calculons le sous-différentiel de Clarke des fonctions associées. Nous faisons également une revue de la régularité métrique des multi-applications, et nous traitons la stabilité d'un problème quadratique convexe. La considération du concept de pente faible, et donc des techniques de déformation appropriées, nous permet d'établir des résultats de stabilité homotopique des points critiques isolés des fonctions continues.

Abstract:
The essays in this book have one common denominator, the discussion of the concept of the border in American culture. Partly motivated by a symposium held on this very topic in late 2014 at Eszterházy Károly University of Applied Sciences of Eger, Hungary, the subsequent call for papers resulted in a variety of submissions. The starting point of all essays was Gloria Anzaldua’s statement: “[B]orderlands are not specific to the [American] Southwest. In fact the borderlands are physically present wherever two or more cultures edge each other, where people of different races occupy the same territory, where under, lower, middle and upper classes touch, where the space between two individuals shrinks with intimacy.”As a whole the nine articles involved treat issues related to the actual U.S.-Mexico border and U.S.-Canadian border, investigate the consequences of the encounter of different cultures, and examine the borderlines discernible in popular culture including film and music, literature, i.e. slave narratives and history.

This book presents a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the vantage point of popular music, considering not just singers and musicians but their fans as well, showing how the music was intrinsically bound up with modern life and the societal changes that came with it. Reaching new audiences across national borders, popular music of the period helped push social change, and at times served as a medium for expressions of social or political discontent.

Abstract:
Taking a broadly chronological approach, this volume of original essays traces the origins of the concept of ‘grammar’. In doing so, it charts the social, moral and cultural factors that have shaped the development of grammar from Antiquity, via the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Modern Europe, to current education systems and language learning pedagogy. The chapters examine key turning points in the history of language teaching epistemology, focusing on grammar for language teaching across different European cultural contexts. Bringing together leading scholars of classical and modern languages education, The History of Grammar in Foreign Language Teaching offers the first single-source reference on the evolving concept of grammar across cultural and linguistic borders in Western language education. It therefore represents a valuable resource for teachers, teacher-educators and course designers, as well as students and scholars of historical linguistics, and of second and foreign language education.

Abstract:
The essay traces the salient historical steps of the Jesuat congregation, highlighting its genesis and development up to the year of its suppression (1668). The focus is on the dynamics triggered by the born of the Jesuat congregation, who grew on the border between the “church of the religious” and the “church of the laity”, and on the use of intellectual energies of the Jesuat friars, because they were directed towards defining and safeguarding their own religious identity. The latter had two focal points: the example of Giovanni Colombini, its first “father”, and, at the same time, the defence of the autonomy necessary to move interstitially between institutions, groups and movements. The historical parable of the Jesuats, in fact, clearly shows the importance assumed by the network of social relations for the constitution of the movement and for its progressive normalisation.

Full text
Abstract:
For maintenance of navigation during wintertime in Arctic seas, icebreakers create the wide channels in the fast ice cover or pack ice cover at water areas near to ports with intensive vessel traffic. Within such wide channels cargo ships and tankers can move in both directions independently without icebreaker pilotage among small ice floes. Because the cross-sectional dimension of the channel is restricted, the ships are forced to displace from the center and move on a close distance between their board and border of channel. The space between ship hull and borders is filled by small ice floes, and its concentration near the starboard and portside differs. The ice resistance on each board also differs. Therefore, side force and yawing moment arise that are able to cause the collision with the channel border. This paper contains the detailed problem definition and the main points of the mathematical model of vessel interaction with the channel border. As an example of model application possibilities, the simulation of loads on the hull of the vessel was performed. Outcomes of the investigation are dependent upon the side force and yawing moment on the distance from the channel border and ice conditions.

Abstract:
This paper provides an overview of current solutions for Cross-Border technical interoperability offered by ERTMS and introduces convergence points between the ERTMS and PTC system architectures. Seen as an overlay system for legacy national ATP/ATC in Europe, ERTMS definition was initiated with the announced purpose of solving cross-border technical interoperability. Beyond the carrier for voice and data radio communications, the paper will introduce the current technical solutions to ensure interoperability, the building blocks and founding principles, focusing on key requirements and design choices. The reasons for the global success of ERTMS well outside Europe will be explored, offering the author’s view on factors that influenced decision making in favor of ERTMS-based system solutions, and provided significant commercial success (end of 2014, more track-km were fitted with ERTMS outside Europe). The same system architecture that ensured technical interoperability, allowed purchasing decisions supporting ERTMS, due to perceived inter-changeability of technical components (multi-vendor supply was ensured), along with public availability of detailed system specifications and hazard analyses. To conclude, the paper will review the convergence points between ERTMS and PTC, and offer a possible way forward into using ERTMS building blocks for a PTC solution.

Abstract:
In Bolivia-Brazil Gas Pipeline the gas samples are only taken in two points along in its all extension, the first is located just at the entrance of the gas pipeline in Rio Grande, Bolivia, and the second sampling point is 550 km far from the first, exactly on Brazil’s border, where the pipeline comes to the TBG’s property. In Brazilian ground, the pipeline has no more additional inlet point and after this point in the border, no more any additional samples are taken. Nowadays, the measurement process has been simplified by the use of the gas composition analyzed in the day of the sampling as exactly the same gas that is filling out the whole gas pipeline at that moment. This simplification creates a mistake that is expected, but until then it had not been calculated. The present paper has an objective to identify the sampling point influence in the energy delivered in TBG’s city gates. To have a better analysis of this influence it is necessary to calculate the gas residence time from the border to the specific delivery point. This residence time is determined by simulation. Considering the difference among the energy used in the revenue and the energy calculated by the new gross heating value adjusted by the residence time of the gas, this paper concluded that the influence of the sampling point in the calculation of the delivered energy is small because the variation of the gross heating value along the period has also been low.

Abstract:
Abstract The swept area of a two dimensional object undergoing motion in its plane of definition is the union of the area occupied by the object at all positions during the motion. A methodology for determining a close approximation to an exact swept area for a known arbitrary motion is developed here. The methodology has use for preventing interference between links of a planar mechanism during synthesis. Criteria for determining individual points falling on the border of the swept area from the body during any instant of the motion are derived from envelope theory. Points on the swept area boundary are determined at the initial position of the sweeping body for computational efficiency. The swept area is constructed from these points plus sections of the border of the moving body at select positions. Overlap of the swept area onto itself is handled by splitting the overall swept area into a small number of individual swept areas free of overlap. An eleven-step swept area algorithm is clarified with an example.

Abstract:
For reducing fuel cell stack cost new materials for bipolar plates (BPs) are under development. Quality of this new BPs has to be checked. The four-points probe method is commonly used for measuring of electrical conductivity; however sample’s geometry has a strong impact on the accuracy of this method. For this reason, it is not possible to use the classical assumptions for the interpretation of the electrical conductivity measurements with respect to the case of BPs. In this paper, a finite elements numerical model is developed for the calculation of the influence of the sample’s geometry on the accuracy of four-points probe method. The approach presented here allows obtaining the corrective factor for the four-points method taking into account the real geometry of BPs and evaluating the border effects related with the position of the probe. The obtained results can be used for diagnostic of the quality of BPs.

Abstract:
After more than 30 years of Interreg programmes implementation, citizens and local stakeholders keep facing persistent challenges on the European border land when interacting across the border. Objective of the paper is to provide an overview of opportunities and obstacles of cross-border cooperation and analyze the future perspectives and challenges of cross border regions’ development in the EU. Paper also reacts on the actual Covid-19 pandemic situation where borders in the EU are again under subject of attention. Based on the EU cross-border survey 2020, these challenges are especially of language, legal and administrative nature. To reduce undue complications in carrying out certain activities across internal EU borders, especially in the fields of services, EU regional authorities support the adoption of common mechanism and strategies as Border Focal Point or European Cross-Border Mechanism. In the next months, cross-border regions will face to challenges of economic and social recovery after the limitation of cross-border activities related to coronavirus restrictions.

Full text
Abstract:
Cross-border trade plays a prominent role in economic, social, and political life in Sub-Saharan Africa, contributing significantly to development, poverty reduction, and job creation. Across the continent, cross-border trade accounts for 43 percent of the entire population’s income. As actors embedded in licit and illicit networks at local and regional levels, cross-border traders have the potential to fuel conflict or mitigate it. They can act as spoilers, supporting armed groups and war economies, or as peace intermediaries, negotiating peace deals and bridging conflict divides across communities. Given that most armed conflicts in Sub-Saharan Africa are shaped by cross-border dynamics, cross-border traders present an underexamined yet critical point of entry for analyzing and addressing conflicts and should be included in new and ongoing peacebuilding programming. This policy note provides recommendations on how policymakers can leverage the untapped peacebuilding potential of cross-border traders and decrease their spoiling power.

Abstract:
We examine the role of Venezuelan forced migration on the propagation of 15 infectious dis-eases in Colombia. For this purpose, we use rich municipal-monthly panel data. We exploit the fact that municipalities closer to the main migration entry points have a disproportionate ex-posure to infected migrants when the cumulative migration flows increase. We find that higher refugee inflows are associated with increments in the incidence of vaccine-preventable dis-eases, such as chickenpox and tuberculosis, as well as sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS and syphilis. However, we find no significant effects of migration on the propagation of vector-borne diseases. Contact with infected migrants upon arrival seems to be the main driving mechanism.

Abstract:
As a result of the refugee reception crisis in 2015 the advocacy for increasing resettlement numbers in the overall refugee protection framework has gained momentum, as has research on resettlement to the EU. While the UNHCR purports resettlement as a durable solution for the international protection of refugees, resettlement programmes to the European Union are seen as a pillar of the external dimension of the EU’s asylum and migration policies and management. This paper presents and discusses the literature regarding the value transmissions taking place within these programmes. It reviews literature on the European resettlement process – ranging from the selection of refugees to be resettled, the information and training they receive prior to travelling to their new country of residence, their reception upon arrival, their placement and dispersal in the receiving state, as well as programs of private and community sponsorship. The literature shows that even if resettlement can be considered an external dimension of European migration policy, this process does not end at the border. Rather, resettlement entails particular forms of reception, placement and dispersal as well as integration practices that refugees are confronted with once they arrive in their resettlement country. These practices should thus be understood in the context of the resettlement regime as a whole. In this paper we map out where and how values (here understood as ideas about how something should be) and norms (expectations or rules that are socially enforced) are transmitted within this regime. ‘Value transmission’ is here understood in a broad sense, taking into account the values that are directly transmitted through information and education programmes, as well as those informing practices and actors’ decisions. Identifying how norms and values figure in the resettlement regime aid us in further understanding decision making processes, policy making, and the on-the-ground work of practitioners that influence refugees’ lives. An important finding in this literature review is that vulnerability is a central notion in international refugee protection, and even more so in resettlement. Ideas and practices regarding vulnerability are, throughout the resettlement regime, in continuous tension with those of security, integration, and of refugees’ own agency. The literature review and our discussion serve as a point of departure for developing further investigations into the external dimension of value transmission, which in turn can add insights into the role of norms and values in the making and un-making of (external) boundaries/borders.
