Abstract Let G be a group and n a positive integer. We define {B_{n}(G)} to be the intersection of the normalizers of all the non-n-subnormal subgroups of G. We give a new characterization for nilpotent groups in terms of a series defined via {B_{n}(G)} .

AbstractWe show that, if X and Y are Banach spaces such that X has the Mazur's intersection property and such that there exists T, an operator from Y into X so that T* and T** are injective, then there exists on Y an equivalent norm which has the Mazur's intersection property.We deduce from this result and from a result of M. Talagrand that there exists on the long James space J(η) an equivalent norm which has the Mazur's intersection property.

Abstract:
With the emergence of high-frequency connected and automated vehicle data, analysts can extract useful information from them. To this end, the concept of “driving volatility” is defined and explored as deviation from the norm. Several measures of dispersion and variation can be computed in different ways using vehicles’ instantaneous speed, acceleration, and jerk observed at intersections. This study explores different measures of volatility, representing newly available surrogate measures of safety, by combining data from the Michigan Safety Pilot Deployment of connected vehicles with crash and inventory data at several intersections. For each intersection, 37 different measures of volatility were calculated. These volatilities were then used to explain crash frequencies at intersection by estimating fixed and random parameter Poisson regression models. Given that volatility reflects the degree to which vehicles move, erratic movements are expected to increase crash risk. Results show that an increase in three measures of driving volatility are positively associated with higher intersection crash frequency, controlling for exposure variables and geometric features. More intersection crashes were associated with higher percentages of vehicle data points (speed & acceleration) lying beyond threshold-bands. These bands were created using mean plus two standard deviations. Furthermore, a higher magnitude of time-varying stochastic volatility of vehicle speeds when they pass through the intersection is associated with higher crash frequencies. These measures can be used to locate intersections with high driving volatilities. A deeper analysis of these intersections can be undertaken, and proactive safety countermeasures considered to enhance safety.

Abstract:
AbstractAs a consequence of results due to Bourgain and Stegall, on a separable Banach space whose unit ball is not dentable, the set of norm attaining functionals has empty interior (in the norm topology). First we show that any Banach space can be renormed to fail this property. Then, our main positive result can be stated as follows: if a separable Banach space X is very smooth or its bidual satisfies the w*-Mazur intersection property, then either X is reflexive or the set of norm attaining functionals has empty interior, hence the same result holds if X has the Mazur intersection property and so, if the norm of X is Fréchet differentiable. However, we prove that smoothness is not a sufficient condition for the same conclusion.

Abstract:
This paper considers the intersection of arts, culture, and entrepreneurship (ACE) through a novel lens, drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s dichotomy of arboreal and rhizomatic knowledge structures. First, existing literature reviews on cultural entrepreneurship and arts entrepreneurship are critically explored. This exploration highlights the predominance of arboreal (tree-like, hierarchical, and genealogical) thinking in current ACE research as well as in conventional practices of doing and presenting literature reviews. As a challenge to this norm, a rhizomatically inspired research agenda for the intersection of ACE is proposed. By discussing the challenges of doing research in a transdisciplinary and intersectional research context, the paper ultimately considers how scholars and practitioners can understand this complexity by embracing Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizomatic principles in future research.

Abstract:
One of the main directions in group theory is the study of the impact of characteristic subgroups on the structure of the whole group. Such characteristic subgroups include different $\Sigma$-norms of a group. A $\Sigma$-norm is the intersection of the normalizers of all subgroups of a system $\Sigma$. The authors study non-periodic groups with the restrictions on such a $\Sigma$-norm -- the norm $N_{G}(C_{\bar{p}})$ of cyclic subgroups of non-prime order, which is the intersection of the normalizers of all cyclic subgroups of composite or infinite order of $G$. It was proved that if $G$ is a mixed non-periodic group, then its norm $N_{G}(C_{\bar{p}})$ of cyclic subgroups of non-prime order is either Abelian (torsion or non-periodic) or non-periodic non-Abelian. Moreover, a non-periodic group $G$ has the non-Abelian norm $N_{G}(C_{\bar{p}})$of cyclic subgroups of non-prime order if and only if $G$ is non-Abelian and every cyclic subgroup of non-prime order of a group $G$ is normal in it, and $G=N_{G}(C_{\bar{p}})$.Additionally the relations between the norm $N_{G}(C_{\bar{p}})$ of cyclic subgroups of non-prime order and the norm $N_{G}(C_{\infty})$ of infinite cyclic subgroups, which is the intersection of the normalizers of all infinite cyclic subgroups, in non-periodic groups are studied. It was found that in a non-periodic group $G$ with the non-Abelian norm $N_{G}(C_{\infty})$ of infinite cyclic subgroups norms $N_{G}(C _{\infty})$ and $N_{G}(C _{\bar{p}})$ coincide if and only if $N_{G}(C _{\infty})$ contains all elements of composite order of a group $G$ and does not contain non-normal cyclic subgroups of order 4.In this case $N_{G}(C_{\bar {p}})=N_{G}(C_{\infty})=G$.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how gender norms are represented and depicted in the commercial sphere of fashion, affecting primarily females. The thesis will highlight the voices of several young females of today and their perception of how it is to be influenced and exposed to gender norms in regards to fashion. This thesis theoretical chapters consists of theories in gender norms, norm-critical design, fashion magazines, editorial design, fashion photography, norm-critical photography and intersectional feminism. Furthermore, the method used for this paper are interviews, a total of 17 people were interviewed, whereas five of them are currently working in either the commercial fashion industry or as creatives on a global level. The interviews occurred online, through both emailing and Instagram. This thesis concludes that several aspects, primarily based on the male gaze negatively influence gender norms in the commercial sphere of fashion. However, it is also concluded that there are several change agents, working towards breaking these toxic influences. The thesis is also part of a design project, which final outcome is exhibited at the exhibition Windows Of Opportunity.

Abstract:
This thesis contributes to an understanding of how gender norms shape HIV / AIDS risk perception, but importantly, the responsive actions taken by men and women to reduce noted risks. Data was gathered in mid-2008 in Cabo Delgado Mozambique and consisted of 16 participatory group discussions to better understand local norms and HIV / AIDS risk determinants and 29 in-depth interviews to explore how gender views interface with risk reduction efforts. The theory of triadic influence and gender and power theory were used in the conceptual framework to guide the research in terms of the factors that influence risk across a multitude of levels. The findings are based on three key social situations where HIV / AIDS risk was deemed high by respondents and where the interplay of gender norms between men and women could be analysed in greater detail: 1) partner behaviour; 2) marriage and 3) the exchange of sex for resources. Men and women who actively take measures to decrease the threat of HIV / AIDS do so in a context of often repressive gender norms, however, the decision to engage in risk reduction behaviour is also based on other factors including an assessment of risk, various level of influence from family or peers, prior experience, relationship dynamics and a reflection of broader personal outcomes. The findings demonstrated that the move towards more gender balanced relationships and norms, while essential for reducing HIV / AIDS disparities in prevalence rates and risk, are not a precondition for the employment of HIV / AIDS risk reduction strategies. Efforts however, should continue to promote gender equality in its own right as well as to help reduce HIV / AIDS risk among men and women. Programmes should simultaneously build on local gender dynamics and norms and incorporate strategies already being used by men and women to reduce HIV / AIDS risk into interventions and policies.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis deals with the intersection of art and Victorian gender. The first chapter will deal with the Victorian era in England from the 1840s to 1900s. This chapter will serve as background information to familiarize the reader with Victorian London, the birth place of the Pre-Raphaelites. By examining the subject of industrialization in England and seeing how it changed and influenced society as a whole, the Pre-Raphaelites’ motives for formation become evident and their artistic style is understood in context. The next chapter takes a close look at the art that the Pre-Raphaelites were producing, examining both its subject matter and its literary basis in comparison to the historical setting. By using art as historical evidence, it shows the Pre-Raphaelites’ own personal investment in the subject of Victorian gender relations. Finally, the third chapter examines the wives of the Pre-Raphaelites as a case study for how these real Victorian woman acted and behaved, outside of the expectations and social constraints of the era. Since these were the women most closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelites and their lives were generally well-documented, they make excellent subjects to follow to determine what sort of agency they had in comparison to their stereotypes and male counterparts. Overall, this thesis seeks to tie together the ideas of Victorian gender norms and Pre-Raphaelite art to create a more nuanced and complete history of the Pre-Raphaelites as people and artists.

Abstract:
In this study I aim to contribute to the field of feminist corpomaterial intersectional pedagogies, which I understand as a part of the broader field of feminist postconstructionist pedagogies. Against the background of feminist postconstructionism I wish to overcome binary understandings of for example discourse/materiality, theory/practice, male/female and mind/body in pedagogies. To follow this through I have analysed how affects and emotions are present in a classroom by studying the possibility of taking a starting point in the body while rethinking the anti-oppressive and norm critical pedagogical idea of the self-reflective teacher. In order to challenge the idea of the teacher as a neutral, universal and rational knowledge producer, I have in this study analysed how one can affectively and emotionally situate teacher-bodies and participant-bodies in a classroom.   The analysis was carried out on the basis of empirical material collected at a workshop on corporeality and norm critical pedagogy organised in a teacher-training program at a Swedish university. The workshop was conducted as intra-active-research and the material consists of my field diary, eight written interviews, one oral interview and my experiences from leading the workshop. I argue in this study that teacher-bodies affectively and emotionally could be situated as both following a corporeal schema, an expected plan for how a teacher-body should act and move, and also as stepping away from and disrupting this schema. Further on I argue that teacher-bodies could be situated as memory banks and as working from memory. I stress how important it is in pedagogic situations to be aware of the ways in which bodies in a room affect and are affected by each other, in other words; how bodies “do not end at the skin”. This affective and emotional situatedness shows how it is possible to overcome the idea of teachers and students as bodily neutral. I also argue that it might be important to integrate workshops on corporealities in teacher training. This could be one possible way to start to think on one’s affectively and emotionally situatedness as teacher, something I claim as required if one aspires for a feminist intersectional corpomaterial pedagogy.

Full text
Abstract:
In February 2021 the Swedish government announced the revision of curricula in every educational level, to correspond to the Sexuality, Consent and Relationships knowledge field. The purpose of this research is to explore the ways the Swedish high school curriculum, with the support of Skolverket’s webpage, has integrated notions of a) gender and sexuality, b) body in connection to sexuality and c) ethnicity, concerning students. This paper begins with the historical context of sex education in Sweden, reaching the current situation. Then, with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach, it attempts to answer the research questions, based on theories from both pedagogical and gender studies to set the basis for the research analysis. The major finding of this research is that the curriculum addresses to large extent issues of inclusivity around gender and ethnicity, with a focus on gender-based violence and consent in relationships. On the other hand, the human body is not actively present in that process, while students’ sexuality is presented as more passive than active. Finally, the language of this new curriculum works in many cases in a cisnormative way while there are parts where language is more inclusive. Τhis research suggests that Swedish educational policies rethink issues of identity in relation to sex education and that they imagine a more active role for students in their own sex education.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the ways in which the intersection between hip hop and Christianity brings about a recasting of what is assumed to be the norm within Christianity. It provides examples of how contemporary hip hop and Christianity in Kenya interact through a focus on youth, both in their historical roots and in current practices. Although music and Christianity have been regarded as incarnational processes that narrate themselves in lived experiences that document social reality, the chapter argues that hip hop provides Christianity a contested arena for self-expression and indigenization because of its emergence from a socioeconomic context of depressed economies and livelihoods neoliberalism fuels, as well as through multidirectional processes, multiracial identities, and multicultural interactions.

Abstract:
The history of the fashion industry has been well written as it relates to people who conform to certain physical norms and cultural stereotypes, whereas the inequality in access to the world of fashion has been largely ignored. Despite this lack of coverage, much work has taken place over the centuries to enable people who live with disability to participate in fashionable culture. This book tells that story via perspectives of notable historical figures, events and movements, and continues the discourse with a look at some of the contemporary developments in clothing and fashion. The Intersection of Fashion and Disability takes the long view, from early attempts to conceal ‘unsightly’ bodies of royalty and nobility via creative innovation right through to growing contemporary awareness of inclusive fashion and looking to how future work might be driven by new technology and cultural acceptance.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractIt is a widely accepted notion that climate change affects men and women within agrarian populations differently; consequently, their adaptation strategies are gendered. Besides climate change, women’s vulnerability and their corresponding adaptation strategies are embedded within a complex web of social identities/status, agroecological location, gender norm/roles and power struggles within the plurality of normative orders governing land (property rights). This chapter focuses on Cameroon and seeks to analyze how the interactions between various normative orders governing access to land, co-dependent upon the multiple gendered identities (intersectionality), impact climate change adaptation strategies of female farmers. The results show that the degree of vulnerability and adaptation strategies of women are context specific and gendered across the five distinct agroecological zones of Cameroon. Furthermore, secured access to and ownership over land is crucial in determining the adaptation choices and options available to female farmers. A complex mix of state and non-state norms govern property rights in Cameroon, within which women have to constantly negotiate their land claims. These negotiations are influenced by marital status, ethnicity, educational level, and community/social relations, such that the outcome translates differently for women within the Muslim, Anglophone, and Francophone communities. The chapter concludes with context-specific recommendations to strengthen the adaptive capacity of agrarian women across Cameroon.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract English language teaching (ELT) in China is a racially stratified industry, privileging whiteness as a social norm and identity. Scholars have explored the contested meanings of whiteness in the ELT industry from the perspective of White teachers. This paper extends this scholarship by examining the affective experiences of Chinese women teachers in their encounters with whiteness. Using emotional maps and interviews with 18 Chinese women educators, this study delves into their largely negative experiences with foreign teachers. Through managing White teachers as “time bombs,” my informants shared feelings of fear, anger, and exhaustion, which, I argue, reflect racism and gender regulation conditioning hierarchical interactions between Chinese women and Whites. These heavily racialized and gendered experiences thus draw attention to intersectional dynamics within the global ELT industry from transnational and intersectional perspectives, and call for a disruption of white privilege in order to reconstitute the field along lines that value social justice.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThe links between gender and migration are well understood, as the result of extensive research on the highly gendered nature of migration drivers, dynamics and impacts associated with broader processes of societal transformation. The role of gender norms in shaping migratory decisions on who stays, who moves and how resources are allocated are also well understood. Far less attention has been paid to intersectional approaches, and the comparative dynamics of gendered processes and outcomes in the context of South–South migration. This chapter aims to redress an existing bias towards destination countries by placing greater emphasis on countries of origin and transnational social fields. By focusing on migrants’ precariour status as workers, it also moves beyond the overwhelming focus on domestic work to highlight other overlooked sectors in which there are highly gendered patterns of migrant employment, such as manufacturing, agriculture and tourism. The chapter addresses this gap by adopting an intersectional perspective on cross-sectoral inequalities related to migration.

Utilizing the theoretical frame of the Developmental Theory of Embodiment (Piran in Journeys of Embodiment at the Intersection of Body and Culture: The Developmental Theory of Embodiment, 2017), Piran focuses on experiences in three domains. First, she shows that girls’ temporary freedom of engagement in the physical territory alongside boys ends at menarche, compromising embodied joy, agency, and positive connection to the physical environment. Second, she examines how strongly enforced ‘femininity’-related discourses at menarche, which are further imposed by menstruation-related discourses, corset the way girls can inhabit their bodies. Third, Piran argues that menarche is a biological event that is associated with embodied demotion in social power and with disrupting relational networks. She concludes that positive embodiment at menarche depends on the availability of relational connections and norms that can counteract these adverse social experiences.

Abstract:
Abstract The work presented in this paper derives from the design of a position sensing interferometer, in which circular fringe patterns are automatically analyzed by a computer vision system. Central to this process is a circle fitting problem in the sense of least Linfinity norm, also known as Chebichev or MinMax fit. The problem at hand can be formulated as follows: Given a set of points in the plane, find the pair of concentric circles with minimum radial gap enclosing all the points. The solution to this problem is elegantly given by common computational geometry tools, indeed the center of such a circle is necessarily a vertex of the Nearest Point Voronoi Diagram (NVD), a vertex of the Farthest Point Voronoi Diagram (FVD), or an intersection of edges from both diagrams. An algorithm for determining the Chebichev circular fit is presented and illustrated on the basis of that observation. Applications and potential extensions of this method to soft gauging and image metrology will also be discussed.

Abstract:
From the viewpoint of kinematics, a type of 3 degrees of freedom (dofs) UPS/3RPaPaR overconstrained parallel mechanism (Pa means the hinged 4R parallelogram) with pure translational motion is presented for the development of automatic assembly devices or as a regional structure in the hybrid parallel platform. In the beginning, the formation &amp; mobility are elucidated and the 4×4 transformation matrix &amp; the D-H notation with specific geometric constraints verify the pure translational motion. The forward and inverse kinematic analyses are then established in the analytical closed-form through the matrix method. Besides, we take a numerical illustration for the confirmation of correctness of the derived equations. The determination of workspace is also attained by the intersection of volumes swept by each limb. In addition, the Jacobian matrix and its condition number indicated by Euclidean norm as a function of design parameters are further achieved. Finally, the singularity analysis of the configuration based on the direct and inverse kinematic J-matrix during the movement is identified in detail.

Abstract:
Over the last 50 years, solid state physics and technology have blossomed through the application of modern quantum mechanics to the real world. The intimate relationship between basic research and application has been highlighted ever since the invention of the transistor in 1947, the laser in 1958 and the subsequent spawning of the computer and communications revolution which has so changed our lives. The awarding of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physics to Alferov, Kroemer and Kilby is another important recognition of the unique interplay between basic science and technology. Such advances and discoveries were made in major industrial research laboratories — Bell Labs, IBM, RCA and others. Today many of these industrial laboratories are in decline due to changes in the regulatory environment and global economic competition. In this talk I will examine some of the frontiers in technology and emerging policy issues. My talk will be colored by my own experiences at Bell Labs and subsequently at a major U.S. national laboratory (Sandia) and at universities (University of California at Santa Barbara and Harvard). I will draw on experiences from my role as the Chair of the National Research Council (NRC) panel on the Future of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (1999) and as a reviewer of the 2001 NRC report, Physics in a New Era. The growth rates of silicon and optical technologies will ultimately flatten as physical and economic limits are reached. If history is any guide, entirely new technologies will be created. Current research in nanoscience and nanotechnology is already leading to new relationships between fields as diverse as chemistry, biology, applied physics, electrical and mechanical engineering. Materials science is becoming even more interdisciplinary than in the past. Different fields of engineering are coming together. The interfaces between engineering and biology are emerging as another frontier. I will spend some time in exploring the frontier where quantum mechanics intersects the real world and the special role played by designer materials and new imaging tools to explore this emerging frontier. To position ourselves for the future, we therefore must find new ways of breaking disciplinary boundaries in academia. The focus provided by applications and the role of interdisciplinary research centers will be examined. Strangely, the reductionist approach inherent in nanoscience must be connected with the world of complex systems. Integrative approaches to science and technology will become more the norm in fields such as systems biology, soft condensed matter and other complex systems. Just like in nature, can we learn to adapt some of the great successes of industrial research laboratories to a university setting? I will take examples from materials science to delineate the roles of different entities so that a true pluralistic approach for science and technology can be facilitated to create the next revolution in our field.

Abstract:
Scholarly literature on the international classroom frequently emphasizes the importance of making implicit beliefs and norms explicit in order to equalize all students’ ability to succeed. However, faculty members from varying cultural contexts may not share the same underlying norms, values, procedures, and educational standards. Likewise, faculty members may differ in educational and disciplinary backgrounds. This study uses interviews to assesses the experiences and academic norms of faculty members teaching in the interdisciplinary English-track of the Media and Culture Studies BA at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. This study finds that the effects of both discipline and culture function invisibly and most participants overestimate the degree of agreement between faculty members about core elements of the curriculum. As a result, we suggest that it is necessary for departments to actively foster awareness of disciplinary and cultural norms and to seek consensus between teachers across the curriculum.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the study of L-complex fuzzy sets. The L-complex fuzzy set, where L is a completely distributive lattice, is a generalization of the complex fuzzy set. The fundamental set theoretic operations on L-complex fuzzy sets are discussed properly, including L-complex fuzzy complement, union and intersection. New procedures are presented to combine the novel concepts of L-complex fuzzy t-norms and t-conorms and look into the conditions that lead to a comparable representation theorem. We have used the axiomatic method, in the sense that our underlying assumptions, especially about L, are abstract; it can thus be ascertained to what extent our results apply to some new problem. On the other hand, our method shows that if mathematics, as we use it, is consistent, so is fuzziness, as we formulate it.

Abstract:
In recent years, the study of the intersection between vision and language modalities, specifically in visual question answering (VQA) models, has gained significant appeal due to its great potential in assistive applications for people with visual disabilities. Despite this, to date, many of the existing VQA models are nor applicable to this goal for at least three reasons. To begin with, they are designed to respond to a single question. That is, they are not able to give feedback to incomplete or incremental questions. Secondly, they only consider a single image which is neither blurred, nor poorly focused, nor poorly framed. All these problems are directly related to the loss of the visual capacity. People with visual disabilities may have trouble interacting with a visual user interface for asking questions and for taking adequate photographs. They also frequently need to read text captured by the images, and most current VQA systems fall short in this task. This work presents a PhD proposal with four lines of research that will be carried out until December 2025. It investigates techniques that increase the robustness of the VQA models. In particular we propose the integration of dialogue history, the analysis of more than one input image, and the incorporation of text recognition capabilities to the models. All of these contributions are motivated to assist people with vision problems with their day-to-day tasks.

Full text
Abstract:
For Multi-Objective Robust Optimization Problem (MOROP), it is important to obtain design solutions that are both optimal and robust. To find these solutions, usually, the designer need to set a threshold of the variation of Performance Functions (PFs) before optimization, or add the effects of uncertainties on the original PFs to generate a new Pareto robust front. In this paper, we divide a MOROP into two Multi-Objective Optimization Problems (MOOPs). One is the original MOOP, another one is that we take the Robustness Functions (RFs), robust counterparts of the original PFs, as optimization objectives. After solving these two MOOPs separately, two sets of solutions come out, namely the Pareto Performance Solutions (PP) and the Pareto Robustness Solutions (PR). Make a further development on these two sets, we can get two types of solutions, namely the Pareto Robustness Solutions among the Pareto Performance Solutions (PR(PP)), and the Pareto Performance Solutions among the Pareto Robustness Solutions (PP(PR)). Further more, the intersection of PR(PP) and PP(PR) can represent the intersection of PR and PP well. Then the designer can choose good solutions by comparing the results of PR(PP) and PP(PR). Thanks to this method, we can find out the optimal and robust solutions without setting the threshold of the variation of PFs nor losing the initial Pareto front. Finally, an illustrative example highlights the contributions of the paper.

Full text
Abstract:
Three properties of trees produce distinctive visible characteristics of wood: the cylindrical growth rings, the vertical pores, and the radial planes that compartmentalize the tree to protect it from disease or injury. Such a model of a tree was the basis for rendering a wooden surface. With this first approximation, the growth rings will appear as elliptical contours on a planar cut, streaked by dark lines that arise from the rays, and speckled by pores. These three properties of wood capture its salient visual attributes. The particular form of the ring albedo function is not important, nor is it necessary to model the radial rays exactly. We speculate that the pattern of radial rays and elliptical rings, and possibly their intersection, allow the observer to make the inference of wood, for few other natural structures will produce this characteristic surface texture.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores access to water, sanitation, and health in pastoral communities in northern Tanzania. It argues that the concept of gender, used on its own, is not enough to understand the complexities of sanitation, hygiene, water, and health. It explores pastoralists’ views and perspectives on what is ‘clean’, ‘safe’, and ‘healthy’, and their need to access water and create sanitary arrangements that work for them, given the absence of state provision of modern water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. Although Tanzania is committed to enhancing its citizens’ access to WASH services, pastoral sanitation and hygiene tend to be overlooked and little attention is paid to complex ways in which access to ‘clean’ water and ‘adequate sanitation’ is structured in these communities. This paper offers an intersectional analysis of water and sanitation needs, showing how structural discrimination in the form of a lack of appropriate infrastructure, a range of sociocultural norms and values, and individual stratifiers interact to influence the sanitation and health needs of pastoralist men, women, boys, and girls.

Full text
Abstract:
The Scott and Norma Matheson Wetlands Preserve (“the Preserve”) is a rare riparian environment in the Colorado River corridor and a popular recreation area adjacent to Moab, Utah. We undertook this study to better understand the hydrologic system of the wetlands and a brine layer that underlies fresh water within the boundaries of the Preserve. We calculated a water budget for the Preserve using field measurements, remote sensing, and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Soil-Water Balance Model, version 2, for water years 2017 to 2022. We used transient electromagnetic (TEM) surveys, electromagnetic-induction (EMI) logging, and groundwater chemistry analyses to constrain the location and origins of the brine. We improved our understanding of the intersection between the dual-density hydrologic system and the ecology by mapping the vegetation and conducting remote-sensing analyses of the Preserve. Field work took place from February 2021 to June 2023.

Full text
Abstract:
In Bangladesh’s evolving educational sector, gender-responsive facilities remain notably deficient, especially in suburban schools. This qualitative study investigates the multi-layered challenges faced by adolescent girls due to inadequate gender-sensitive sanitation amenities in suburban educational institutions of Bangladesh. Participants include female students, educators, parents, and representatives from NGOs, thereby offering a comprehensive stakeholder perspective. The research illuminates the intersecting influences of sociocultural norms and infrastructural shortcomings on the education and well-being of adolescent girls. Key findings highlight not only the lack of proper sanitation facilities but also the existing cultural stigmas and gaps in menstrual health awareness, which collectively impact academic performance and psychological health. The study calls for an integrated approach, involving both community education and infrastructural improvement, to create a transformative educational environment that promotes gender equity.

Abstract:
This rapid review provides examples of what has worked to include people in humanitarian assistance who experience heightened vulnerability during crises, due to social inequalities and discrimination relating to gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, and sex characteristics; and religious belief . Overall, robust evidence is limited for what are, in most cases, relatively new areas of practice in challenging crisis situations. However, the literature does identify promising practices. Emerging themes from the research on what has potential for improving inclusion in humanitarian assistance include: affected people’s meaningful participation in intervention planning and design; whole-of-community approaches while maintaining accountability to the targeted beneficiaries; multi-component approaches combining complementary strategies (e.g. economic empowerment with social norms change programming); longer-term, pre-crisis investment in relationships with, and capacity building of, local organisations; and disaggregating data and undertaking intersectional analyses to include those hardest to reach.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review examines evidence on the structural causes and drivers of gender inequalities in the Eastern Neighbourhood region and how these gender inequalities contribute to instability in the region. While the Eastern Neighbourhood region performs relatively well on gender equality compared with the rest of the world, women and girls continue to face systemic political and economic marginalisation and are vulnerable to gender-based violence. Research on Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Moldova identifies the key underlying cause to be a set of traditional patriarchal gender norms, intersecting with conservative religious identities and harmful customary practices. These norms do not operate in isolation: the literature highlights that gender inequalities are caused by the interplay of multiple factors (with women’s unequal economic resources having a critical effect), while overlapping disadvantages affect lived experiences of inequalities. Other key factors are the region’s protracted conflicts; legal reform gaps and implementation challenges; socio-economic factors (including the impact of COVID-19); and governance trends (systemic corruption, growing conservatism, and negative narratives influenced by regional geopolitics). Together these limit women and girls’ empowerment; men and boys are also affected negatively in different ways, while LGBT+ people have become a particular target for societal discrimination in the region. Global evidence – showing that more gender unequal societies correlate with increased instability – provides a frame of reference for the region’s persistent gender inequalities.

Full text
Abstract:
In 2022, amidst a backdrop of growing violent extremism in the region, NDI launched a pilot preventing/countering violent extremism (P/CVE) program for youth in Abala, a commune in Niger. The program also integrated social and behavioral change (SBC) research and approaches in youth-political party programming from 2022–2023. The primary objective of the pilot was to establish youth as the experts on their lived experience of violent extremism. The pilot did so by bringing rural and village youth together to understand the intersectional risk of violent extremism in their commune and to design programming by and for youth to address that complex threat. With the understanding that women in Niger, especially in rural communities, were not bystanders in violent extremist operations (instead involved in recruitment and funding), gender was also a central aspect of this pilot’s intersectional approach. The program included a subsequent phase aimed at bringing youth leaders together with community and political party leaders to advocate for youth-led P/CVE analysis and programming. This phase held considerable risk due to the stereotypes and intransigent beliefs held by youth and political leaders in Niger. Acknowledging that these deep-seated stereotypes and beliefs presented real barriers to successful outcomes, NDI reached out to Beyond Conflict to work with local partner SOS Civisme to research, design, and integrate experimental SBC research and interventions. These included radio programming and community dialogues that targeted norms and beliefs concerning youth that were being perpetuated by elites to maintain their exclusionary systems of power, such as the notion that youth lack decision-making and leadership capacity. The programming also focused on the importance of youth leadership and agency in P/CVE efforts. Based on findings from this joint initiative, this policy note presents considerations and recommendations to better understand and address youth vulnerability to violent extremism in Niger. More broadly, the note demonstrates the under-utilized potential to incorporate behavioral science into P/CVE programming for greater, more durable impact.

Full text
Abstract:
The middle class, or rather middle classes, to do justice to their heterogeneity, have been and continue to be at the centre of the long political and economic crisis that has been ravaging Brazil since 2014. Available interpretations that try to explain the positions taken by different political authors are biased by structural, ideological, or cultural determinism. To escape these determinisms, I draw on Stuart Hall’s political sociology in order to understand the link between the class situation of the middle classes and their constitution as political subjects of various shades as contingent intersectional articulations. The emphasis on contingency obviously does not imply a belief that political developments are fortuitous and detached from social structures. Nor does it ignore the existence of groups with deeply held ideological or cultural convictions who consistently adopt, over long periods of time, political attitudes compatible with these beliefs. However, taken as a whole, the middle classes have shown a very heterogeneous and changing political trajectory over time. They adhere to discourses - both right-wing or more egalitarian ones - and make political choices based on the power of these narratives to capture, in given circumstances, their anxieties, expectations, claims and aspirations.

Full text
Abstract:
The rapid growth in population and related demand for travel during the past few decades has had a catalytic effect on traffic congestion, air quality, and safety in many urban areas. Transportation managers and planners have planned for new facilities to cater to the needs of users of alternative modes of transportation (e.g., public transportation, walking, and bicycling) over the next decade. However, there are no widely accepted methods, nor there is enough evidence to justify whether such plans are instrumental in improving mobility of the transportation system. Therefore, this project researches the operational performance of urban roads with heterogeneous traffic conditions to improve the mobility and reliability of people and goods. A 4-mile stretch of the Blue Line light rail transit (LRT) extension, which connects Old Concord Rd and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s main campus on N Tryon St in Charlotte, North Carolina, was considered for travel time reliability analysis. The influence of crosswalks, sidewalks, trails, greenways, on-street bicycle lanes, bus/LRT routes and stops/stations, and street network characteristics on travel time reliability were comprehensively considered from a multimodal perspective. Likewise, a 2.5-mile-long section of the Blue Line LRT extension, which connects University City Blvd and Mallard Creek Church Rd on N Tryon St in Charlotte, North Carolina, was considered for simulation-based operational analysis. Vissim traffic simulation software was used to compute and compare delay, queue length, and maximum queue length at nine intersections to evaluate the influence of vehicles, LRT, pedestrians, and bicyclists, individually and/or combined. The statistical significance of variations in travel time reliability were particularly less in the case of links on N Tryon St with the Blue Line LRT extension. However, a decrease in travel time reliability on some links was observed on the parallel route (I-85) and cross-streets. While a decrease in vehicle delay on northbound and southbound approaches of N Tryon St was observed in most cases after the LRT is in operation, the cross-streets of N Tryon St incurred a relatively higher increase in delay after the LRT is in operation. The current pedestrian and bicycling activity levels seemed insignificant to have an influence on vehicle delay at intersections. The methodological approaches from this research can be used to assess the performance of a transportation facility and identify remedial solutions from a multimodal perspective.
