On m-partite oriented semiregular representations of finite groups generated by two elements

In this paper we extend the notion of oriented regular representations in the context of m-partite oriented digraphs with an integer m≥2. A group G is said to admit an m-partite oriented semiregular representation (m-POSR for short) if there exists an m-partite oriented digraph such that its automorphism group is isomorphic to G and acts semiregularly on vertices with every part of the digraph as an orbit. In this paper, we proved that G admits an m-POSR of valency two except for several cases when G is a finite group generated by at most two elements and m≥2 is an integer.

Good, bad and ugly experiences of non-binary gender inclusion at the workplace to frame employee value proposition

PurposeThe present study aims to gauge the experience of gender non-binary (NB) employees in the context of employee value propositions (EVP) in Indian enterprises and make suggestions for organizations to align their gender-aligned interventions with the EVP framework.Design/methodology/approachQualitative methodology was used for collecting data through semi-structured interviews and subsequent analysis of the transcripts. The data was gathered from 10 NB participants working in Indian enterprises with the use of non-probabilistic purposive snowball sampling.FindingsThe analysis revealed eight themes representing the good, bad and ugly experiences of NB individuals within the context of EVP. These findings underscore the potential of enriching value propositions for employees to promote gender inclusion in corporate settings, contributing to long-term organizational success.Practical implicationsThe study offers both theoretical and practical implications for fostering inclusivity at the workplace. It suggests that policymakers and organizations should align EVP with diversity and inclusion initiatives, re-evaluate hiring processes and promotion policies to ensure equal opportunities for NB individuals, provide regular staff training to address biases and implement inclusive insurance policies and representation in employee resource groups (ERGs).Originality/valueThis study provides unique insights into the experiences of NB employees within the framework of EVPs in Indian organizations.

Higher categorical symmetries and gauging in two-dimensional spin systems

We present a framework to systematically investigate higher categorical symmetries in two-dimensional spin systems. Though exotic, such generalised symmetries have been shown to naturally arise as dual symmetries upon gauging invertible symmetries. Our framework relies on an approach to dualities whereby dual quantum lattice models only differ in a choice of module 2-category over some input fusion 2-category. Given an arbitrary two-dimensional spin system with an ordinary symmetry, we explain how to perform the (twisted) gauging of any of its sub-symmetries. We then demonstrate that the resulting model has a symmetry structure encoded into the Morita dual of the input fusion 2-category with respect to the corresponding module 2-category. We exemplify this approach by specialising to certain finite group generalisations of the transverse-field Ising model, for which we explicitly define lattice symmetry operators organised into fusion 2-categories of higher representations of higher groups.

Insights into Chinese Canadian culture: enablers and barriers for fruit and vegetable intake.

Fruits and vegetables (F&V) play a vital role in promoting health and preventing diseases. Numerous studies have demonstrated the association between F&V consumption and reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality. Despite the high priority of public health in promoting F&V intake, Chinese immigrants in Canada often fall below national guidelines in their consumption. Understanding the factors influencing F&V intake in this community is crucial for developing effective interventions. This study used an applied ethnographic research approach to gain insight into the enablers and barriers that influence F&V intake among Chinese-Canadian adults in Richmond, BC. Semi-structured interviews and 'photovoice' group sessions were conducted to gather qualitative data from community participants and health care providers (HCPs). The research identified four key themes: (1) Cultural differences around how vegetables are perceived, consumed and prepared; (2) Motivators and strategies for increasing vegetable and fruit intake; (3) Lack of culturally relevant dietary education and resources; and (4) Importance of value in vegetable/fruit-related decisions. Participants showed a strong preference for the traditional Eastern diet, with cost of food and lack of knowledge about Western vegetables acting as barriers to dietary diversity. The study also highlighted the need for culturally tailored educational resources to effectively promote F&V consumption. By adopting a multi-modal approach, incorporating both interviews and 'photovoice' sessions, this research provided comprehensive insights into the participants' perspectives and experiences related to F&V intake. Understanding these factors can guide the development of culturally appropriate interventions to increase F&V consumption among Chinese-Canadian adults in Richmond, BC, and potentially improve their overall health and well-being. Future studies should consider the heterogeneity within the Chinese immigrant population and target a more balanced representation of age groups to further enhance our understanding of F&V intake patterns in this community.

Inducing perceived group variability triggers the incorporation of counter-stereotypic information into a generalized stereotype change

Perceived variability is the extent to which individuals perceive group members as being similar to one another. Previous research has focused on how: group variability is perceived (and measured); information indicative of group heterogeneity can lead to reductions in stereotypicality; or how stereotype-inconsistent information can result into increased perceived variability. The present combines the three lines of research into a single research venue. In previous studies the stereotypicality of a group representation was influenced by priming stereotype-unrelated traits in an unrelated-context, prior to stereotype measurement; but priming counter-stereotypic traits had no effect on stereotypicality, although it boosted perceptions of group's variability. The present study examines whether highlighting dissimilarities among members of the same professional groups results in subsequent changes in the reported stereotype for a, not yet mentioned, group. The more the dissimilarity among group members, the more likely individuals were to incorporate counter-stereotypic information into the targeted-group, described as less stereotypic, even in central tendency measures. Importantly, the generating mechanism may involve a modification of participants' overall perception of variability. When members within professional groups are perceived as dissimilar, the well-known resistance of stereotypes to counter-stereotypic information is lessened making the group representations more flexible and less biased.

An Uneasy Peace: How STEM Progressive, Traditionalist, and Bridging Faculty Understand Campus Conflicts over Diversity, Anti-Racism, and Free Expression

In recent years an uneasy peace has descended in U.S. academe between those who feel research universities have done too little to advance the representation of minority groups and women and those who feel that the administrative policies developed to improve representation can and sometimes do come into conflict with core intellectual commitments of universities. Using quantitative and qualitative evidence from interviews with 47 natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics faculty members at a U.S. research university, the paper examines the background characteristics of three sets of protagonists - academic progressives, academic traditionalists, and those whose views bridge the divide - and the way respondents discussed and justified their viewpoints. The paper draws on the theory of strategic action fields to illuminate the structure and dynamics of the conflict and suggests modifications to the theory that would improve its explanatory power for this case.

Notes on unitary theta representations of compact groups

We continue our work on understanding Howe correspondences by using theta representations from p-adic groups to compact groups. We prove some results for unitary theta representations of compact groups with respect to the induction and restriction functors.

United as one? Personal and social identity threats differentially predict cooperation and prejudice toward minorities

ABSTRACT Global threats are often identified as triggers of intergroup conflict. However, personal vs. social identity threats can differently shape intergroup relations – enhancing or decreasing cooperation and prejudice. We tested the idea that appraisals of different types of threat (to personal vs. social identity motives) shape specific representations of intergroup relations (as one-group recategorization or separate-group coalition), which have opposing implications for modern prejudice toward ethnic minorities. In four studies (N = 2,772) performed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we found evidence that personal threats were negatively associated with modern prejudice and this relation was mediated by preferences for separate group-representations, whereas social identity threats were positively associated with modern prejudice and mediated by preferences for one group representations.

Tautological characteristic classes II: the Witt class

AbstractLet K be an arbitrary infinite field. The cohomology group $$H^{2}(SL(2,K);H_2 SL(2,K))$$ H 2 ( S L ( 2 , K ) ; H 2 S L ( 2 , K ) ) contains the class of the universal central extension. When studying representations of fundamental groups of surfaces in SL(2, K) it is useful to have classes stable under deformations (Fenchel-Nielsen twists) of representations. We identify the maximal quotient of the universal class which is stable under twists as the Witt class of Nekovàř. The Milnor-Wood inequality asserts that an $$SL(2,\textbf{R})$$ S L ( 2 , R ) -bundle over a surface of genus g admits a flat structure if and only if its Euler number is $$\le (g - 1)$$ ≤ ( g - 1 ) . We establish an analog of this inequality, and a saturation result for the Witt class. The result is sharp for the field of rationals, but not sharp in general.

Weil zeta functions of group representations over finite fields

Reporting and representation of underserved groups in intervention studies for patients with multiple long-term conditions: a systematic review.

Globally, there is a growing number of people who are living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs). Due to complex management needs, it is imperative that research consists of participants who may benefit most from interventions. It is well documented that ethnic minority groups and lower socioeconomic status (SES) groups are at an increased risk of developing MLTCs. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to determine the level of reporting and representation of underserved groups (ethnic minority and low SES) in intervention studies addressing MLTCs. Systematic review. Four databases including Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, CINAHL and Scopus were searched for intervention studies from North America or Europe published between January 1990 and July 2023. Hospital and community-based interventions. We included interventional studies focusing on improving MLTC-related outcomes. Patients with MLTCs. Total number of studies reporting on ethnicity and SES. Number and proportion of studies reporting by ethnic/SES group. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Only 4 of 13 studies (31%) recorded and reported ethnicity information. Of these four studies that reported on ethnicity, three studies consisted of primarily White participants. Ethnic minority groups were underrepresented, but one study included a majority of African American participants. Moreover, 12 of 13 studies (92%) reported on SES with income and educational level being the primary measures used. SES representation of higher deprivation groups was varied due to limited data. For ethnicity, there was a lack of reporting, and ethnic minority groups were underrepresented in intervention studies. For SES, there was a high level of reporting but the proportion of study samples from across the spectrum of SES varied due to the variety of SES measures used. Findings highlight a need to improve the reporting and representation of ethnic minority groups and provide more detailed information for SES through using consistent measures (e.g. education, income and employment) to accurately determine the distribution of SES groups in intervention studies of people with MLTCs.

Gauged permutation invariant matrix quantum mechanics: path integrals

We give a path integral construction of the quantum mechanical partition function for gauged finite groups. Our construction gives the quantization of a system of d, N × N matrices invariant under the adjoint action of the symmetric group SN. The approach is general to any discrete group. For a system of harmonic oscillators, i.e. for the non-interacting case, the partition function is given by the Molien-Weyl formula times the zero-point energy contribution. We further generalise the result to a system of non-square and complex matrices transforming under arbitrary representations of the gauge group.

A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative research investigating disordered eating and help-seeking in elite athletes.

Elite athletes are at elevated risk for disordered eating and eating disorders; however, little is known about risk and maintaining factors, or barriers and facilitators of help-seeking in this cohort. This systematic review synthesized qualitative findings regarding possible risk and maintaining factors for disordered eating, as well as barriers to and facilitators of help-seeking in elite athletes. We conducted a search for qualitative studies that included experiences with body image concerns or disordered eating in elite athletes. A systematic search of CINAHL, PsychINFO, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases identified 828 articles, with 87 retained after title and abstract screening, and 38 included in the review. Quality appraisal was conducted using the checklist for appraising qualitative research (CASP). Data were extracted from each article, including demographic information (e.g., biological sex, age, sport type, level of competition, current, or former athlete) and the text under the "results" or "findings" section. Meta-themes were identified using inductive thematic meta-synthesis. The extracted data indicated that most studies sampled female athletes from the United States and UK. Eight meta-themes were identified: (1) the power imbalance; (2) hyperfocus on body, food, and exercise; (3) rigidity; (4) the athlete's balance; (5) the athlete identity; (6) overvaluation and oversimplification; (7) shame, fear, and stigma; and (8) knowledge, education, and self-identification. These findings highlighted gaps in the demographic representation of specific groups in this research (e.g., males, para-athletes, and ethnic diversity) and propose hypotheses of how sport pressure might contribute to athletes' experiences with disordered eating. Disordered eating and body image concerns are prevalent and can have debilitating impacts for elite athletes; however, help-seeking is rare for this population. It remains unclear what factors contribute to disordered eating and/or inhibit help-seeking among elite athletes versus the general population. Understanding athletes' perspectives will inform the modification of prevention and treatment strategies to address athlete-specific factors.

On n-Dimensional Maxwell and Dirac Equations in Curved Space-Time and Its Applications in SO(P,Q) Group Theoretic Image Processing

Maxwell equations in p time and q spatial dimensions are formulated. Properties of the Green’s function for the associated (p,q)-wave operator are derived based on contour integration. The notions of electric and magnetic fields in (p,q)-dimensions is explored by analogy with four dimensional physics and the problem of far field computation of the radiation field generated by charges and currents in \((1,n-1)\) space-time is analyzed. SO(p,q) invariance properties of the Maxwell equations are deduced and used to formulate SO(p,q)-group theoretic image processing problems in (p,q)-dimensions. Dirac’s equation in (p,q)-dimensional space-time is derived using the Clifford algebra of the Dirac gamma matrices. SO(p,q)-invariance of the Dirac equation based on the spinor representation of \(SO(p,q)\) is mentioned. The Maxwell’s equations in (p,q)-dimensional curved space-time is analyzed using perturbation theory in the context of maximally symmetric spaces which play a fundamental role in \((p,q)\)-dimensional cosmological models for homogeneous and isotropic spaces. The Einstein-Maxwell equations for (p,q)-dimensional gravity and electromagnetism is studied and used to derive the equations of motion of point charges carrying mass moving under mutual gravitational and electromagnetic interactions in general relativity. Finally, Dirac’s equation in (p,q)-dimensional curved space-time interacting with the (p,q)-dimensional electromagnetic field is looked at. \(U(1)\)-Gauge, local SO(p,q) Lorentz and diffeomorphism invariance of this equation is analyzed. Local \(SO(p,q)\) invariance of the curved space-time Dirac equation is deduced based on transformation properties of the Dirac matrices under the spinor representation. The appendix presents some applications of group representation theoretic statistical image processing on a manifold to the situation when the image field is described by the six component electromagnetic field tensor on which the Lorentz group acts.

Representations of groups on Banach spaces

We establish a general framework for representability of a metric group on a (well-behaved) class of Banach spaces. More precisely, let G \mathcal {G} be a topological group, and A \mathcal {A} a unital symmetric C ∗ C^* -subalgebra of U C ( G ) \mathrm {UC}(\mathcal {G}) , the algebra of bounded uniformly continuous functions on G \mathcal {G} . Generalizing the notion of a stable metric, we study A \mathcal {A} -metrics δ \delta , i.e., the function δ ( e , ⋅ ) \delta (e, \cdot ) belongs to A \mathcal {A} ; the case A = W A P ( G ) \mathcal {A}=W\hskip -0.7mm A\hskip -0.2mm P(\mathcal {G}) , the algebra of weakly almost periodic functions on G \mathcal {G} , recovers stability. If the topology of G G is induced by a left invariant metric d d , we prove that A \mathcal {A} determines the topology of G \mathcal {G} if and only if d d is uniformly equivalent to a left invariant A \mathcal {A} -metric. As an application, we show that the additive group of C [ 0 , 1 ] C[0,1] is not reflexively representable; this is a new proof of Megrelishvili [Topological transformation groups: selected topics, Elsevier, 2007, Question 6.7] (the problem was already solved by Ferri and Galindo [Studia Math. 193 (2009), pp. 99–108] with different methods and later the results were generalized by Yaacov, Berenstein, and Ferri [Math. Z. 267 (2011), pp.129–138]). Let now G \mathcal {G} be a metric group, and assume A ⊆ L U C ( G ) \mathcal {A}\subseteq \mathrm {LUC}(\mathcal {G}) , the algebra of bounded left uniformly continuous functions on G \mathcal {G} , is a unital C ∗ C^* -algebra which is the uniform closure of coefficients of representations of G \mathcal {G} on members of F \mathscr {F} , where F \mathscr {F} is a class of Banach spaces closed under ℓ 2 \ell _2 -direct sums. We prove that A \mathcal {A} determines the topology of G \mathcal {G} if and only if G \mathcal {G} embeds into the isometry group of a member of F \mathscr {F} , equipped with the weak operator topology. As applications, we obtain characterizations of unitary and reflexive representability.

What are the Leadership and Management Positions in Medical Education? A Scoping Review

Leadership can be defined as a combination of position, responsibilities, attitude, skills, and behaviours contributing to sustainable success. Despite extensive research on the representation of various groups, including genders and personal qualities, in leadership and management positions in medical education, there remains a lack of clarity regarding what these positions exactly are. In this scoping review, we aimed to determine these positions by following Levac et al.'s framework. We searched four databases; PubMed, ERIC, Scopus, and Web of Science until March 23, 2023, resulting in 558 records for screening after removing duplicates and applying some exclusions. The review included 266 studies for data extraction and synthesis. In addition to the leadership positions, we revealed the studies’ countries, main context, discipline, and year. We identified 396 leadership and management positions in medical education under four categories: academic, administrative, journal- related, and society-related positions. Additionally, the majority of the studies (59.77%) were on gender-related topics, followed by those focusing on underrepresented minorities. The articles covered 40 different disciplines, with the surgical fields exhibiting the highest frequencies, such as orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. The systematically developed list of positions in our study may be considered as a valuable resource for future research, especially in studies that aim to determine the representation of women and underrepresented minorities in leadership and management positions in medical education.

Реконструкция медийных социальных представлений с использованием показателей статистики текста (на материале медиадискурса о пандемии)

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Objective. </strong>The aim is to present an algorithm to reconstruct media social representations based on indicators of text statistics and to conduct a comparative analysis of the construction of semantically similar media joint ventures, such as “pandemic”, “coronavirus”, “COVID-19” in Russian media. <br><strong>Background</strong>. Social representations perform the most important functions in the process of social functioning of an individual and a group, serve as a tool for cognition, adaptation and regulation of behavior and are formed taking into account the influence of media social representations. Methods for studying social representations for various social groups are presented in psychological studies, however, methods for studying media social representations are discussed in single scientific work. The presented scientific project is based on the theory of social representations by S. Moskovici and generalizations by B. Hoyer regarding the construction of media social representations (naming, emotional attachment, thematic attachment, metaphorical attachment and attachment through basic antinomies). <br><strong>Study design</strong>. The phenomenon of the coronavirus pandemic, presented in media discourse, was used as the signified in the study. The signifier is a trio of semantically similar concepts (“pandemic”, “COVID”, “coronavirus”). <br><strong>Measurements</strong>. To reconstruct media social representations, statistically stable collocations were identified to indicate the measure of association, logically close to the associative experiment. Hence, it was possible to identify thematic networks, axiological and evaluative components, components-characteristics of activity. The research material is represented by texts about the COVID-19 pandemic (January 2020-March 2022: “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”: 19471 texts, 7,97 million words; “Kommersant”: 1482 texts, 1,07 million words, “Novaya Gazeta”: 705 texts, 0,9 million words) and processed using BootCat, TreeTagger, AntConc (lemmatization, frequency analysis). <br><strong>Results</strong>. The associative fields of the joint ventures are different and contain anchoring and objectification resources when using concepts, only few elements of the associative field are similar. Thus, depending on the concept used to signify the intent of the text, stories about the fear of infection, the treatment of the disease, or resistance to the harsh elements are created. <br><strong>Conclusions</strong>. The similar algorithm based on media text statistics can be used to reconstruct any media social representation.</p>

Good Guys Became Bad Guys? Changing Representations of Asians and Other Races in Crime News During COVID-19

During COVID-19, Asian Americans were perceived as a threat to the American society, which could have led to heightened media scrutiny and a shift in media portrayals. This study examines this question with a quantitative analysis of crime stories sampled from five newspapers (2019–2021). Our results suggested that large-scale social events such as COVID-19 might have transformed media representations of Asians and other racial groups, with noteworthy variability: (a) When considering all types of crimes, during the pandemic, news about lawbreaking activities by Asian perpetrators almost doubled that of before-COVID period. No significant change was uncovered in the coverage of Asian victims. (b) However, on two types of crimes—“crimes against persons” and “violent crimes”—that have more newsworthiness and social import, stories about Asian victims during the COVID-19 were higher than those of the before-COVID period. (c) When comparing media representations with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) data, the percentage of Asian perpetrators and victims in newspapers did not differ from that of the FBI in 2019 and 2020; however, Asians were overrepresented as victims in 2021.
