Amenable L-2-Theoretic Methods and Knot Concordance
No full textWe reveal new structures in the topological knot concordance group. As a key ingredient, we develop obstructions using L-2-theoretic methods for amenable groups in Strebel's class recently introduced by Orr and the author. Concerning (h)-solvable knots, which are defined in terms of certain Whitney towers of height h in bounding 4-manifolds, we show the following: for any n>1, there are (n)-solvable but non-(n. 5)-solvable (and therefore nonslice) knots, which are not detected by prior methods using Cochran-Orr-Teichner L-2-signature obstructions as well as Levine algebraic obstructions and Casson-Gordon invariants.X1197sciescopu
Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity

Engineering Framework to Utilize Miniaturized Charpy Type SE(B) Specimens to Predict Jc of Full Sized Specimens
No full textAbstractThis paper introduces our experience of using miniature Charpy type SE(B) specimen in obtaining fracture toughness Jc of a material in the ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) region. Width W x thickness B of 2 x 2 mm, 3 x 3 mm and 10 x 10 mm were chosen as miniature specimens and 25 x 25 mm were chosen as full sized specimen. 0.55% carbon steel JIS S55C, whose tensile to yield stress ratio σTS/σYS was equal to 1.8 was chosen as a material to simulate a degraded (embrittled) material in the DBTT region. Focus was placed on whether cleavage fracture could be predicted for these miniaturized specimens. Another focus was placed on whether the Jc of full sized specimen is predictable from the test results of the miniature sized specimens, in case cleavage fracture were observed. The results showed that the modified Ritch-Knott-Rice (RKR) failure criterion (which predicts the onset of cleavage fracture when the crack opening stress measured at 4 times the crack-tip opening displacement exceeds this σ22c) could predict whether cleavage fracture would occur or not. Another finding was that, in case cleavage fracture was observed though, the critical value σ22c in the modified RKR failure criterion was independent of specimen size, and thus, Jc of the full sized specimen is predictable from the miniature specimen test results, though M = (W-a)σYS/Jc was smaller than ASTM E1921 requirement of 30. Here, a and σYS are crack length and yield strength, respectively
Channels of Synthesis Forty Years On: Integrated Analysis of Spatial Economic Systems
No full textIsard’s vision of integrated modeling that was laid out in the 1960s book Methods of Regional Science provided a road map for the development of more sophisticated analysis of spatial economic systems. Some forty years later, we look back at this vision and trace developments in a sample of three areas – demographic-econometric integrated modeling, spatial interaction modeling, and environmental-economic modeling. Attention will be focused on methodological advances and their motivation by new developments in theory as well as innovations in the applications of these models to address new policy challenges. Underlying the discussion will be an evaluation of the way in which spatial issues have been addressed, ranging from concerns with regionalization to issues of spillovers and spatial correlation.Spatial economic system, Integrated analysis,
Exposing Francophone Students to Jamaican Language and Culture: Reflections from the ClerKing Telecollaborative Project
No full text[EN] Jamaican Creole (JC) is a popular language spoken by majority of Jamaicans both locally and in the Diaspora. However, it is still a language that is unfamiliar to many foreigners, though the small country is known internationally for its music, food, culture, dominance in sports, as the people are “likkle but tallawah”. In a decade in which the United Nations is celebrating indigenous languages, it is an opportune time to promote and expose international students to JC. This study reports on an initial exposure to JC in phase 3 of ClerKing (Clermont-Ferrand-Kingston) – a 10-week telecollaborative project which brought together learners of English from Clermont Auvergne University (UCA), France, and learners of French from the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona, Jamaica. WhatsApp and videoconferencing platforms were used to discuss cultural and intercultural topics, including JC. Using the exploratory approach, we seek to ascertain French students’ perceptions on being exposed to Jamaica and the JC. Preliminary findings suggest that French students learnt and practised basic JC structures and vocabulary and had a deep appreciation for the exposure. This broadened their appetite of wanting to learn more about and eventually visit Jamaica.Madden, O.;Williams, O.;Bernard, O. (2024).

Comment from the New Editor-in-Chief: A Journey to Replacement and the Inevitable Question
No full textShifting attention in viewer- and object-based reference frames after unilateral brain injury
No full textThe aims of the present study were to investigate the respective roles that object- and viewer-based reference frames play in reorienting visual attention, and to assess their influence after unilateral brain injury. To do so, we studied 16 right hemisphere injured (RHI) and 13 left hemisphere injured (LHI) patients. We used a cueing design that manipulates the location of cues and targets relative to a display comprised of two rectangles (i.e., objects). Unlike previous studies with patients, we presented all cues at midline rather than in the left or right visual fields. Thus, in the critical conditions in which targets were presented laterally, reorienting of attention was always from a midline cue. Performance was measured for lateralized target detection as a function of viewer-based (contra- and ipsilesional sides) and object-based (requiring reorienting within or between objects) reference frames. As expected, contralesional detection was slower than ipsilesional detection for the patients. More importantly, objects influenced target detection differently in the contralesional and ipsilesional fields. Contralesionally, reorienting to a target within the cued object took longer than reorienting to a target in the same location but in the uncued object. This finding is consistent with object-based neglect. Ipsilesionally, the means were in the opposite direction. Furthermore, no significant difference was found in object-based influences between the patient groups (RHI vs. LHI). These findings are discussed in the context of reference frames used in reorienting attention for target detection
UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS’ AMBIVALENCE TOWARDS JAMIEKAN KRIYUOL: OFFICIALISATION VS ACCEPTANCE IN FORMAL SPACES
No full textJamaica is the largest island of the Anglophone Caribbean and gained independence from Great Britain in 1962. However, despite English being the country’s official language, the majority of the population speaks Jamaican Creole (JC) as their first language. This linguistic battle has affected educational and social outcomes. Many calls have been made for JC to be officialised, but attitudes toward this vary. This study seeks to ascertain undergraduate students’ perceptions of JC and whether it should obtain official status and be accepted in more formal spaces. The study draws on a corpus of 20 students who responded to a forum on Moodle as part of an Academic Literacy course. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Findings reveal that students share mixed reactions toward the phenomenon. Those in favour of JC argue that it forms a critical part of cultural identity and heritage, and its officialisation would ensure cultural preservation and promotion. Additionally, the acceptance of JC in more formal spaces, such as educational institutions and courtrooms, would promote inclusion and reduce communication barriers. However, opponents argue that the lack of a standardised orthographic system can create problems and impede clarity in communication. Moreover, some believe that JC should not be used in formal settings, as it is unprofessional and associated with unintelligence. Furthermore, others argue for English to be maintained to promote international communication. The study has implications for curriculum develop and the promotion of courses in JC to expose students to the systems that already exist for knowledge expansion. Article visualizations
