Abstract:
Averaged face composites, which represent the central tendency of a familiar population of faces, are attractive. If this prototypicality contributes to their appeal, then averaged composites should be more attractive when their component faces come from a familiar, own-race population than when they come from a less familiar, other-race population. We compared the attractiveness of own-race composites, other-race composites, and mixed-race composites (where the component faces were from both races). In experiment 1, Caucasian participants rated own-race composites as more attractive than other-race composites, but only for male faces. However, mixed-race (Caucasian/Japanese) composites were significantly more attractive than own-race composites, particularly for the opposite sex. In experiment 2, Caucasian and Japanese participants living in Australia and Japan, respectively, selected the most attractive face from a continuum with exaggerated Caucasian characteristics at one end and exaggerated Japanese characteristics at the other, with intervening images including a Caucasian averaged composite, a mixed-race averaged composite, and a Japanese averaged composite. The most attractive face was, again, a mixed-race composite, for both Caucasian and Japanese participants. In experiment 3, Caucasian participants rated individual Eurasian faces as significantly more attractive than either Caucasian or Asian faces. Similar results were obtained with composites. Eurasian faces and composites were also rated as healthier than Caucasian or Asian faces and composites, respectively. These results suggest that signs of health may be more important than prototypicality in making average faces attractive.

Full text
Abstract:
Mixed Race Antecedents: Black Hybridity in Cultural Production, 1960-1989 looks at how cultural producers of African descent in the U.S. from the 1960s through the 1980s conceptualized racial and cultural hybridity. I analyze writers and artists who were grappling with how to think about their multiple heritages while simultaneously considering the political implications of their racial hybridity. Before the Census Movement of the 1990s narrowed the discussion of racial hybridity to boxes on government forms, these playwrights, authors, and visual artists were thinking about hybridity in a different register. They explored connections between personal and political identities, the relationships between experiences and art, and the significance of having multiple racial/ethnic heritages when race in America was still very much operating under the auspices of the one-drop rule. Their creative explorations during this time distinguishes them as mixed race antecedents, those who were looking for the political and aesthetic uses of black hybridity during the Civil Rights Movement, Women’s and Gay Liberation, and their corollary art movements. I draw from critical race theory, performance studies, autobiography studies, and cultural studies to understand the complex relationship artists and writers had to the social movements that defined their historical moment while asserting their own conceptions of how racial hybridity functions for those of African descent in the U.S. In so doing, this project challenges the predominant narrative of critical mixed race studies by arguing that mixed race identity formations were emerging in American culture during and after the civil rights era, not just during the Census Movement. Particularly, I focus on the possibility of racial and cultural hybridity not replacing blackness, like what a post-racial world would ask us to do, but instead, prompting further exploration and expansion of blackness.

Full text
Abstract:
Pulling from past research on cross-race identifications, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of both mixed race participants and perpetrators on eyewitness accuracy and confidence levels. In the study, participants will be shown a randomly assigned photograph of an individual from one of three racial categories: Asian, Mixed (some part Asian), and non-Asian. They will then be asked to read a fictional convenience store robbery vignette and identify the perpetrator from a 9 person simultaneous photo lineup, rate their confidence, and answer a series of questions regarding the diversity of their neighborhood, past or present school or workplace, and friend group. There are no predicted main effects. However, there are three expected interactions: the first between participant race and perpetrator race, such that the perpetrator race will not influence the accuracy for Asian and non-Asian participants. The second proposed interaction is between exposure and race, such that high exposure will cause race to be irrelevant with regard to identification accuracy. The third expected interaction is between participant race and perpetrator race, such that perpetrator race will not influence the confidence levels for mixed race participants, but will influence the accuracy for Asian and non-Asian participants.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is a single case-study of a child and adolescent psychotherapist working with a fourteen year old female adolescent patient of similar mixed ethnic background. The thesis presents the completed two year therapeutic work which included periods of intensive therapy (3-4 times-a-week work) following less intensive work. The patient’s early life was marked by witnessing parental domestic violence and parents who divorced. She subsequently struggled with maintaining relationships and presented race and gender identity ambiguity. She had consistently self-harmed and overdosed since the age of thirteen. The psychotherapist relied heavily on his countertransference in order to better understand and make sense of the patient’s inner world, particularly regarding issues of identity, race, gender and attachment. The primary research method used to analyse processed clinical session notes was Grounded Theory Method.

Abstract:
This thesis is a cross-cultural comparative study of the racial identity of Black/White ‘mixed-race’ young people aged between 18–24 in Sydney, Australia and London, United Kingdom. I have been working professionally with mixed-race young people for nine years, and have become increasingly aware of their over-representation in Pupil Referral Units, the care system, and the Youth Criminal Justice system. I wanted to determine how mixed-people develop their identity, and understand the factors that are involved in their choices, thus improving the tools available for those professionals working with mixed-race young people. This project was completed using ethnography as the primary research tool. Semi-structured interviews and archival research based on the readily available literature on mixed-race people operated as other sources for primary and secondary sources of data. The results found that although mixed-race young people share close affiliation with the Black community, there was the development of a distinctive mixed-race community. This is sharply contrasted in Australia, where the concept of ‘mixed’ is considered offensive, and a relic of colonialism. Whilst the scrutiny that they face about their identity is immense, their ability to successfully manoeuvre and survive within the racial constraints of the socio-political environment that they exist in, is healthier than much of the available literature suggests. Difficulties faced by both mixed-race genders include being stereotyped, targeted and sexualised by White and Black people; being pulled between one’s outwardly expressed identity, and how one sees ones identification; and the complexity with their relationship with the Black community. In the future, it would be valuable to include elements of mixed-race history and issues of identification in the national curriculum, in addition to the inclusion of mixed-race themes into equality, inclusion and diversity training.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the identity-making practices of Mixed White and Black Caribbean people by drawing on qualitative interviews with 37 respondents aged between 20 and 56 years old. Much of the current literature on mixed race tends to focus upon individual socio-psychological accounts of mixed race identity. Whilst this thesis does borrow from this approach, it firmly situates individual accounts of mixedness in relation to the broader structural constraints and/or possibilities that continuously frame mixed race experiences. The thesis conceptualises structural contexts in terms of space and time, to unpack the external negotiations that are made by mixed race subjects in place and through different periods. The study takes place in Birmingham, a city that has long been regarded as a raced space. By analysing how the different spaces and layers of the city are utilised in identity making, the thesis contends that ethnicity is not the defining aspect of mixed race identities like is often assumed. It proposes that research on mixed race that treats place as a backdrop fails to recognise how it produces different scales of belonging for mixed race subjects and how place functions as a major point of reference for ethnic identifications. The thesis identifies and accounts for a historical gap in the narrative of mixed race in Britain, by moving away from the common present-tense conceptualisations of mixedness and charting the historical trajectories of mixed race identities throughout post-1945 Britain. By analysing mixed race through an historical lens it does the important work of dislodging it from the current celebratory moment and takes account of how Britain’s social histories and dominant systems of race thinking have consistently impacted upon generations of mixed race subjects. In the coming analysis the personal, individual aspects of mixed race identity and experience in relation to the family, peers and sexual partners are explored only once the structural questions regarding place and social generation are considered. I argue that the micro-politics of mixed race cannot be understood without first tracing the macro-politics which make mixed race as an identity, and as a social category, possible in the first place. The thesis contends that acknowledgment of the spatial and temporal aspects of mixed race identity by broadening the analysis away from the individual emphasises the dialectical nature of mixed race identity, which is critical to the project of theorising mixed race.

Abstract:
Whilst much is said, little is known about the lives of Black mixed-race men. Inspired by Critical Race Theoretical approaches, this thesis centres the lives and accounts of Black mixed-race men in order to responds to gaps in academic literature and to rupture pathological discourses of mixedness. Drawing upon data collected from 28 interviews with Black mixed-race men, 14 in the UK and 14 in the US, this thesis draws upon theories of performativity and hybridity in order to develop a theorization of post-racial resilience. Through this concept, the thesis shows how Black mixed-race men, as raced and gendered subjects, speak back to, manipulate, fashion and refashion discourses. This identity work, it is argued, enables Black mixed-race men to refuse the fragmentation of their identities and the erasure of their lived experiences. The thesis not only considers how Black mixed-race men articulate their raced and gendered identities but how they live, display and negotiate these identities through racial symbolism, as they encounter racial microaggressions, and as they form and develop friendships. By drawing upon data from both sides of the Atlantic, this thesis demonstrates how post-racial resilience can be considered a transatlantic phenomenon in the lives of Black mixed-race men.

Abstract:
Air entering a NASCAR stock car travels through an air filter enclosed in an “airbox” before being mixed with fuel. To maximize the mass of air/fuel mixture delivered to the cylinders, it is desired to minimize airflow restrictions. This paper presents a preliminary model to predict pressure drop and airflow across an air filter in a simplified geometry. The model includes experimental measurements and numerical simulations using a three-dimensional finite-volume package. The simplified geometry is a 1.52-m long flow channel with 12.7 cm by 7.97 cm cross-section. Measurements of pressure drop versus air velocity were made for separate and combined elements of the filter. A curve fit to the data is used to calculate coefficients for a porous-jump boundary condition used to model flow through porous media. Numerical simulations were run using this model for each filter element in the simplified geometry to verify that measured and calculated pressure drops agreed. Finally, flow visualization techniques were used to reveal streaklines in the flow. Good agreement was found between calculated streamlines and experimental observations. Thus, the porous jump boundary condition is a valid model for the filter material. Future work will include three-dimensional, transient numerical simulations of airflow within the airbox.

Abstract:
Approximate Computing is a paradigm used by researchers as alternative to the diminishing of the evolution of hardware performance in the ongoing race for computational throughput in HPC. Precision reduction and mixed precision are the most studied among the existing techniques. In addition, some NVIDIA GPUs have Tensor Core architecture to speed up some classes of algorithms, such as matrix multiplication. This study aims to apply Approximate Computing techniques, like mixed precision, in matrix multiplication and stencil algorithms using OpenACC directives and cuTensor library to analyze performance gains versus accuracy losses. Results showed that it was possible to obtain a speedup of 16.60× with an optimized matrix multiplication algorithm present in the matmul intrinsic function using 16-bit floating-point data with Tensor Core, compared to a naive version using 64-bit floating-point. For this same case, accuracy loss went from 10−26 up to 10−1, approximately. For the stencil algorithm, it was possible to obtain a gain of 1.60× by only reducing variables precision from 64-bit to 16-bit floating-point, with accuracy loss from 0 to 10−9, for 300 iterations.

Abstract:
Background: Meningitis is a brazilian public health problem due to annual outbreaks¹. Meningitis morbimortality rate is still relevant and the epidemiological description contributes to preventive actions¹,². Objectives: Describe the epidemiological profile of meningitis cases reported by region in Brazil between 2015-2020. Design and setting: A retrospective descriptive study of meningitis cases. The data were obtained from Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). Methods: Information on age, sex, race, etiology, serogroup and case evolution were collected. Results: Between 2015-2020, 87,189 cases of meningitis were reported, among which 58.9% were male. The majority of cases occurred in the Southeast (53.8%). The white race stood out in the South and Southeast, and the mixed race in the North, Northeast and Midwest. The 20-29 age group was the most prevalent, with the exception of the Southeast, where the predominance was 1-4-year-olds. Viral meningitis was the most frequent (47.2%), except in the Midwest, where non-primary meningitis (31.1%) was the main agent. Serotype C (57.8%) was the most prevalent across all regions. Hospital discharge was the main evolution (77.5%), especially in South (79.6%) and Southeast (77.5%). However, the highest death rate occurred in the North (14,6%) and Midwest (12.2%). Conclusions: Male and young people are more affected by meningitis. Despite a higher incidence in the Southeast region, the North has a higher proportion of deaths, revealing a public health problem.

Among the risk factors that can contribute to the pathology, the modifiable factors are related to lifestyle habits and the unmodifiable to gender, age and race. The proper management of these factors reduces the susceptibility of the person dying. Thus, it’s valuable to have this knowledge, once the identification and control provides the primary prevention. Objectives: Expose the epidemiological profile of deaths by CBVD in the population in 2019. Design and setting: Quantitative study, descriptive and observational, with data obtained in the Mortality Information System. Methods: Analysis of deaths due to CBVD in the state of São Paulo (SP) according to age range, gender and race. Results: The number of deaths by DBVD in 2019 in the state of SP were 21.716; according to gender, 51,0% were male patients, and 49,0% female. Regarding the age range, they all showed deaths by CBVD, the age group most affected, with 36,1% of deaths, were over 80 years old. Furthermore, the mortality of people with 60 years or more, represented 81,9% of the cases. The caucasion race had the highest number of deaths by DBVD with 68,0%, followed by mixed race with 20,8% and black race with 8,0%. Conclusions: The knowledgment of the epidemiological profile of deaths caused by CBVD in the state of SP is important, especially for identifying risk factors, planning and executing preventive actions, aiming to reduce the frequency of complications and deaths.

Abstract:
Objective. To update findings from previous Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)- and American Urological Association (AUA) funded reviews evaluating therapies for clinically localized prostate cancer (CLPC). Sources. Bibliographic databases (2013–January 2020); ClinicalTrials.gov; systematic reviews Methods. Controlled studies of CLPC treatments with duration ≥5 years for mortality and metastases and ≥1 year for quality of life and harms. One investigator rated risk of bias (RoB), extracted data, and assessed certainty of evidence; a second checked accuracy. We analyzed English-language studies with low or medium RoB. We incorporated findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) identified in the prior reviews if new RCTs provided information on the same intervention comparison. Results. We identified 67 eligible references; 17 were unique RCTs. Among clinically rather than prostate specific antigen (PSA) detected CLPC, Watchful Waiting (WW) may increase mortality and metastases versus Radical Prostatectomy (RP) at 20+ years. Urinary and erectile dysfunction were lower with WW versus RP. WW’s effect on mortality may vary by tumor risk and age but not by race, health status, comorbidities, or PSA. Active Monitoring (AM) probably results in little to no difference in mortality in PSA detected CLPC versus RP or external beam radiation (EBR) plus Androgen Deprivation (AD) regardless of tumor risk. Metastases were slightly higher with AM. Harms were greater with RP than AM and mixed between EBR plus AD versus AM. 3D-conformal EBR and AD plus low-dose-rate brachytherapy (BT) provided a small reduction in all-cause mortality versus three dimensional conformal EBR and AD but little to no difference on metastases. EBR plus AD versus EBR alone may result in a small reduction in mortality and metastases in higher risk disease but may increase sexual harms. EBR plus neoadjuvant AD versus EBR plus concurrent AD may result in little to no difference in mortality and genitourinary toxicity. Conventionally fractionated EBR versus ultrahypofractionated EBR may result in little to no difference in mortality and metastases and urinary and bowel toxicity. Active Surveillance may result in fewer harms than photodynamic therapy and laparoscopic RP may result in more harms than robotic-assisted RP. Little information exists on other treatments. No studies assessed provider or hospital factors of RP comparative effectiveness. Conclusions. RP reduces mortality versus WW in clinically detected CLPC but causes more harms. Effectiveness may be limited to younger men or to those with intermediate risk disease and requires many years to occur. AM results in little to no mortality difference versus RP or EBR plus AD. EBR plus AD reduces mortality versus EBR alone in higher risk CLPC but may worsen sexual function. Adding low-dose-rate BT to 3D-conformal EBR and AD may reduce mortality in higher risk CLPC. RCTs in PSA-detected and MRI staged CLPC are needed.

Abstract:
Surveys with samples selected from an address frame derived from US Postal Service sources are often referred to as address-based sampling (ABS) surveys. For an ABS survey that is primarily conducted by mail, web, or face-to-face, sometimes it is helpful to have a telephone number corresponding to the sample addresses for setting appointments or conducting nonresponse follow-up prompts. The usefulness of a telephone contact mode in a mixed mode ABS design depends on both the percentage of addresses for which telephone numbers can be appended (append rate or match rate) and the accuracy of the telephone numbers associated with addresses. Before planning a telephone contact as part of a mixed-mode study, the designer should know the likely effectiveness of the approach. This paper focuses primarily on append rate information, with a discussion of accuracy rates. For a single ABS frame, telephone match rates vary by geography, address type, match vendor, and by landline vs. cell telephone number. Using very large samples of addresses from a total US ABS frame, we estimated state and national telephone append rates from Marketing Systems Group's sources. The append rates are summarized here and interactively at the website http://abs.rti.org/atlas/.

Abstract:
We use a total survey error approach to examine and make recommendations on how to adjust for non-sampling error in longitudinal, mixed-mode surveys. Using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), we examine three major sources of non-sampling error: telescoping, mode effects, and fatigue. We present an assessment of each source of error from a total survey error perspective and propose alternative adjustments to adjust better for this error. Findings suggest that telescoping and fatigue are likely sources of error in the NCVS, but the use of mixed-modes is not. Furthermore, both telescoping and fatigue are present in longitudinal surveys and accounting for one but not the other results in estimates that under- or overestimate the measures of interest—in this case, the rate of crime in the United States.

Full text
Abstract:
We test the neoclassical loanable funds model which postulates that, ceteris paribus, government borrowing increases the long-term rate of interest. The empirical literature exploring such a connection remains largely mixed. We clarify the conflicting results by deploying an ARDL model to decompose the relationship in the United States into long and short-run effects across multiple measures of the government deficit and long-term interest rate. We find a tendency for changes in the deficit to increase long-term interest rates in the short run but the effect is reversed in the long run. We argue that these results are consistent with John Maynard Keynes’ view of the long-term rate as being heavily influenced by monetary policy, central bank credibility and market convention.

Full text
Abstract:
This working paper predicts the fiscal and public health outcomes from a change in the excise tax structure for cigarettes in Ghana. More than 5,000 people are killed by diseases caused by tobacco every year in Ghana (Tobacco Atlas 2018). Currently the country has a unitary tax administration approach, with a uniform ad valorem tax structure on all excisable products, including tobacco. However, the ECOWAS directive on tobacco control, in line with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO 2003), recommends a simple tax structure – using a mixed excise system with a minimum specific tax floor to overcome the limitations of an ad valorem system on tobacco products, especially cigarettes. The study therefore simulates mixed tax policy interventions, and assesses their effect on government revenue and public health relative to the current ad valorem tax system. Primary data collection of tobacco prices in three geographical zones of the country was conducted in February 2020, across both rural and urban localities. This was supported with secondary data from national and international databases. Based on the assumption that Ghana adopts a mixed tax structure, the simulation shows that, if the government imposes a specific excise tax of GH₵4.00 (US$0.80) per pack in addition to the current ad valorem rate of 175 per cent of the CIF value, the average retail price of a cigarette pack would increase by 128 per cent, cigarette consumption decrease by 27 per cent, tobacco excise tax revenue increase by 627 per cent, and overall tobacco-related government tax revenue increase by 201 per cent.1 Additionally, there would be significant declines in smoking prevalence (3.3%), smoking intensity (1,448 cigarettes per year), and 3,526 premature smoking-related deaths would be avoided. The paper advocates for a strong tax administration and technical capacity, with continuous commitment by the government to adjust the tax rate in line with the rate of inflation and per capita income growth.
