Multiple vortices for a self-dual Maxwell-Chern-Simons model
No full textIn this paper we study the multiple existence of multivortices for the self-dual CP(1) Maxwell-Chern-Simons model. The multivortices for this model correspond to solutions for an elliptic system of two unknown functions with exponential nonlinearity and Dirac measures of positive and negative signs as source terms, defined on a two-dimensional compact manifold such as a flat torus. The existence of at least one multivortex solution for this model was established by D. Chae and H.-S. Nam [Ann. Henri Poincar ́e, (2001)]; and in the case that all vortex points have a negative sign, the existence of the second multivortex solution was proved by the second author [Differential Integral Equations, (2004)]. This paper settles the question of multiple existence affirmatively in a more general case, that is, the case of mixed (but different numbers of positive and negative) vortices. It is proved first that the elliptic system arising from this model is equivalent to a fourth-order scalar elliptic equation with exponential nonlinearity. Then it is shown that this fourth-order equation has a nice variational structure enjoying the compactness property, and the desired solutions are obtained as local minima and critical points, via a mountain-pass theorem, of the associated energy functional. Construction of the local minimum solution is a key in the proof
It Matters Who Does This Work: An Interview with Tonia Sutherland
No full textTonia Sutherland (she/her) is assistant professor in the Library and Information Science Program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. She serves on the SAA Council, and is author of the forthcoming book Digital Remains: Race and the Digital Afterlife. Dr. Sutherland holds a Ph.D. and an MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Computing and Information, as well as a BA in history, performance studies, and cultural studies from Hampshire College. Her work focuses on the interactions of technology and culture, and emphasizes critical work within the fields of archival studies, digital studies, and science and technology studies.
In this interview, recorded September 14, 2021, Sophia Ziegler talks to Tonia Sutherland about her work in critical digital librarianship, focusing specifically on her presentation during the LDL as Data Speaker Series in late 2019, as well as the new project, “Premised on Care: Redescription as Restorative Justice in American Archives.” Ziegler and Sutherland also discuss the role of LIS education in creating a profession that is more prepared for the to describe content in a way that honors everyone’s heritage

Trade, labour and sustainable development ::leaving no one in the world of work behind /
No full text"Examining the relationship between trade and labour regulation in light of the pressing need to promote sustainable development, Tonia Novitz interrogates how international legal architecture could be reformed so that no one in the world of work gets left behind. She highlights the dangers of pursuing labour and environmental issues on parallel tracks without recognising how they interact, ultimately arguing for the crafting of the content and application of trade rules through participatory processes, which involve the inclusive representation of all sectors of the labour market and all parts of the world. This timely book explores the potential promise of economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability, alongside the concrete limitations evident at the International Labour Organization, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group and the World Trade Organization. The author interrogates the capacity for regional trade arrangements to operate in innovative ways, considering the European Union (EU) as a case study. Novitz further considers how corporate governance could be regulated to promote sustainable development in trade supply chains. Expansive in scope, this book will be a vital read for scholars and students in the fields of labour, trade, company and EU law, as well as politics and international relations. It will also assist policy makers and officials connected to international organisations and regional trade institutions"-

Conference:
Submitted to the Proceedings of the US Community Study
on the Future of Particle Physics (Snowmass 2021)The last decade has brought about a profound transformation in multimessenger science.
Ten years ago, facilities had been built or were under construction that would eventually
discover the nature of objects in our universe could be detected through multiple messen gers. Nonetheless, multimessenger science was hardly more than a dream. The rewards
for our foresight were finally realized through IceCube’s discovery of the diffuse astrophys ical neutrino flux, the first observation of gravitational waves by LIGO, and the first joint
detections in gravitational waves and photons and in neutrinos and photons. Today we
live in the dawn of the multimessenger era.
The successes of the multimessenger campaigns of the last decade have pushed multi messenger science to the forefront of priority science areas in both the particle physics and
the astrophysics communities. Multimessenger science provides new methods of testing
fundamental theories about the nature of matter and energy, particularly in conditions that
are not reproducible on Earth. This white paper will present the science and facilities that
will provide opportunities for the particle physics community renew its commitment and
maintain its leadership in multimessenger science.J.P.W.V. is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft(DFG) through the Heisen berg programme (Project No. 433075039). The MOSSAIC concept received enthusias tic endorsement from many colleagues and institutions in the ground- and space-based
MMA/TDA communities, who recognize the need for coordination and collaboration in this
multifaceted discipline. We are grateful to the GSFC and Center leadership for their sup port of MOSSAIC. H.F. acknowledges support by NASA under award number 80GSFC21M0002.

Social Media and the Black Travel Community: From Autonomous Space to Liberated Space
No full textThis paper reports on findings from an ongoing study of identity-based social media communities that subvert the architecture of internet and other digital tools to evolve autonomous (“safe”) spaces into liberated spaces. The community in question endeavors to provide safe spaces for information and resource sharing. Two compelling trends were found. The first involves entrepreneurship as a feature of liberated spaces. The second involves secret, or “underground” communication hidden in open spaces as a liberatory practice. As part of discussing these trends, the author introduces the idea of liberated spaces and argues for their importance within discussions of the sociocultural aspects of inclusive digital interfaces and digital cultures
An Exploration of the Role of the Nurse as Client Advocate in the Ethical Dilemmas of In Vitro Fertilization
No full textIn the following paper, there will be a discussion on infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF), with a primary focus on the ethical dilemmas that have arisen with the introduction of IVF. This discussion begins with a description of the scope and experience of infertility, its causes, implications, and nursing care. It will then progress on to the discussion of in vitro fertilization and the procedural steps involved. This is followed by discussion of the background of ethics, basic ethic principles, nursing ethics, and selected religious perspectives. The author will be focusing on the Roman Catholic perspectives in particular. The author will then relate the ethical information to specific ethical dilemmas that have arisen because of the in vitro fertilization procedure. Such ethical dilemmas include conflicting religious beliefs, harmful effects of fertility drugs, genetic testing of preserved embryos, disposal of preserved embryos, gamete donation, selective termination, the use of IVF for non-traditional couples and individuals, financial factors, and publishing accurate consumer information. Carol Gilligan’s theory of moral development will be the conceptual framework for examining these situations. The author will focus primarily on the nursing role of client advocate in the nursing care of clients experiencing such ethical dilemmas. The author will be including information obtained through personal interviews with registered nurses and advanced practice * nurses who work with infertility and IVF clients
