Aspects of superconductivity and fractionalization
… is yet to take its final shape. Theory of fractionalization attempts to explain the phenomenon by assuming that the electron is split into two particles, chargon and spinon, carrying charge and spin respectively. Although capable of producing the qualitative features of the phase diagram, …

Ethnic fractionalization and Sub-Saharan violence, 1970-1996.
… correlations between metrics of ethnic fractionalization and categories of violence in Sub-Saharan Africa from 1970 to 1995. By examining these correlations both prior to and after controlling for income, the study is able to determine whether or not various types of conflict are linked …

Applied fractionalization : quantum phases and phase transitions of strongly interacting systems
… of the theoretically proposed phenomena of 'fractionalization' where elementary excitations in a phase carry quantum numbers that are fractions of that corresponding to an electron. Similarly, there is growing numerical evidence of the theoretical phenomena of 'deconfined quantum …

Fractionalization and tax effort to fund Illinois public schools: an equity analysis
Fractionalization is a quantifiable measure of diversity for a categorical variable within a population. In public education, research supports the sociological benefits of having a diverse student and faculty population. From a school funding perspective, however, a diverse student population may …

An investigation of the relationships among racial fractionalization, school district resources, and special education identification, practices, and outcomes
… was to examine the relationship among racial fractionalization, school district resources, and special education identification, proportionality, and outcomes in Illinois school districts. The fractionalization index (Alsesina & Glaeser, 2009) provides researchers with one way to quantify …

Causes of domestic terrorism: 1970-2010
… effects varied depending on type. Linguistic fractionalization increased the incidence of violence. Paradoxically, ethnic fractionalization impeded terrorism. Religious fractionalization had little impact on terrorism. Among control variables, population and a history of terrorism were …

Social makeup and public school funding effort and distribution in the United States
… Measures of ethnic/racial and religious fractionalization (diversity) are included among these measures, thereby extending fractionalization theory into the realm of United States PK-12 education. In this study, the relationship between states’ funding effort and distribution is also …

Essays in development and urban economics
… that ethnic, linguistic and religious fractionalization have significant impact on economic performance measures, but the effect will become weaker or disappear once we control for income per capita or latitude as a measure of geographic variation. Other than that, linguistic, ethnic …

Fort Berthold Indian Reservation: A Land Use Study to 1971
… agreements, land allotment programs, land fractionalization, and the building of the Garrison Dam. The results obtained show that the semi-agricultural Three Tribes passed from self-sufficiency before their reservation was established into abject poverty under the reservation system. Their …

Higher-order topological phases with crystalline symmetries
… dissertation, we systematically study the charge fractionalization in 2D HOTIs under rotation symmetries. We find that, under the Cn rotation symmetries, the electronic charge fractionalizes in units of 1/n at corners and bulk disclination defects in symmetric HOTIs. Using spatially localized …

The impact of political institutions and state capacity on antiretroviral drug coverage : a cross country analysis of determinants
… achieve high levels of HAART coverage; cultural fractionalization has less of an effect on coverage than we expected; and centralized governments achieve higher treatment coverage outcomes. The effect of political institutions is muted when we control for state capacity and funding. We apply two …

Does Aid Really Help? The Nexus Between Development Aid and State-Society Resilience in Fragile Situations
… is mainly attributed to violent conflict, ethnic fractionalization, and natural disasters. The study concludes that the slight negative impact of aid can be reversed through altering the development approach from hierarchical to concentric. As an alternative to the hierarchical model of …

ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AS A MILITANT DEMOCRACY AGENT: PROMOTING DEMOCRACY IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
… (development, inequality, ethnolinguistic fractionalization, freedom from autocratic influence) and proximate factors (power-sharing, government effectiveness), alongside the two hypothesis conditions: EU membership and EU partnership. Three sufficient pathways to democratic improvement …

Digitalization, Marketization and Authoritarianism in Ethiopia: Towards New Political Economy of Power [védés előtt]

Strong correlations and topological order in one-dimensional systems
… with short tubes. The phenomenon of charge fractionalization is investigated in a one-dimensional ring. TLL theory predicts that momentum-resolved electrons injected into the ring will fractionalize into clockwise- and counterclockwise-moving quasiparticles. As a complement to transport …

Reading achievement in Kenya: the language factor
… The peer effect is isolated using a linguistic fractionalization index. This is done in different grades within the same school. Results show that peer effects on Kiswahili scores are mediated by linguistic diversity at school. As the peers' linguistic diversity increases, peers' Kiswahili …

European integration and the nationalist parties

Institutions, fiscal transparency and fiscal policy outcomes
… election in the next year and ethno-linguistic fractionalization make the government diminish the time lag of reporting. Recently, trends that the government opens a small deficit at first and revises it to a big deficit later have been found. We show that these revisions come from a bias of …

New perspectives on fractional quantum Hall physics
… as realizing distinct translational symmetry fractionalization classes. Next, we apply this formalism in Chapter 3 to identify paired states of composite fermions in a square-lattice Hofstadter model. Magnetic translation symmetry is found to enforce finite-momentum pairing of the composite …
