Citizenship ceremonies as an opportunity for behaviour change: a quasi-experiment with London councils

pilot carried out with London local councils in 2018. This quasi-experiment involved varying the offer made to new citizens at their citizenship ceremonies would lead to greater willingness to carry out social acts. The councils tried out whether having the volunteering service present and conveying behavioural insights in addition to the volunteering offer make a difference to civic intentions. Outcomes across control, volunteering, and behavioural insights ceremonies were measured by a telephone survey carried out four to six weeks after the ceremonies. In total 240 telephone interviews were carried out across the six local authorities and three ceremony types, a 50 per cent response rate.

Partisan Responses to Democracy Promotion – Estimating the Causal Effect of a Civic In-formation Portal

In a placebo-controlled experimental design, carried out in Kenya, conducted between 11th November and 2nd December 2016. Subjects were recruited via Facebook using paid adverts, many targeted directly to women. Our adverts had almost 850,000 views. Once recruited, participants were randomly allocated to one of two trial arms, the Mazalendo website and the placebo “Oceans” (see Figure 2). A total of 3,463 subjects completed the last phase of the study, the end-line survey, 1,759 from the treatment group and 1,704 from the control

AUSM‐like expression of HLLC and its all‐speed extension

Advection upstream splitting method (AUSM) and Harten‐Lax‐van Leer with contact (HLLC) are two popular families of flux functions. The AUSM is simple and requires no eigenstructure, which facilitates its extensions to general equations of state. Furthermore, one of its variants, simple low‐dissipation AUSM (SLAU), is applicable to all speeds and features removal of parameter setting by the user. HLLC, on the other hand, clearly defines three distinct waves in Riemann problem, namely, left‐running and right‐running acoustic waves, and entropy wave. This paper demonstrates that HLLC can be written in a very similar form with the AUSM family and that the similar manner in extending AUSM family to all speeds is easily incorporated into HLLC in this AUSM‐like form. Then, we combine the strengths of the both flux functions and offer a new inviscid numerical flux function within the framework of monotone upwind scheme for conservation laws (MUSCL) in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for Euler and Navier‐Stokes equations. The resultant HLLC with low dissipation (HLLCL) numerical flux can compute low Mach number flows and sound propagations at the same time with high accuracy, as demonstrated by one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional numerical examples. Furthermore, the results indicate that its extensions to general fluids such as supercritical fluids are encouraging.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: [Kitamura et Shima, 2019, International journal for numerical methods in fluids], which has been published in final form at [https://doi.org/10.1002/fld.4782].

A field experiment: testing the potential of norms for achieving behaviour change in English parishes

Tests of behavioral insights have become increasingly more common, and have been deployed by UK government and agencies. Typically these field experiments aim to change individual-level behaviors. The current paper tests the potential of behavioral insights for changing group-level behavior. This paper reports the results of a field experiment carried out with the Department of Communities and Local Government. The field experiment tested whether a normative message (vs. a neutral or no message) could encourage parish councils to register an asset of community value (social action). There was no statistically significant effect from this intervention, but the process of designing and implementing this field experiment shows the potential for theories of behavior change to be used by government departments.</p

Protein- protein interaction network for common DEGs.

All disconnected nodes were removed from the network. The sphere represents node (protein encoded by the gene) and the line depicts interaction. The color of the line is representative of the source of evidence for interaction, including text mining (light green), gene neighborhood (dark green), experimentally determined (magenta), and curated databases (blue). The structure within sphere represents the availability of 3D structure of the protein.</p
