    This paper gives a broad overview of the financial inclusion environment, and one that would prioritize the financial needs of women and youth. The key issues are addressed, as well as innovations, industry practices, and regulatory developments through the lens of women and youth. The paper highlights key macro issues to be factored into the overall design of the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) comparative study for three Sub-Saharan countries

    My works mainly show my perception of life and my change of thought. The world is full of changes, and the pandemic has disrupted our lives. Many people, including me, are confused about the world. Philosophy and my observation and thinking about the world helped me to have a clearer understanding of the world. My paintings Licia, Butterfly Woman, and Live with Covid reflect my understanding of German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer\u27s theory of empathy. Within my art, I also use another German Philosopher Theodor W. Adorno\u27s theory of the culture industry to deepen my understanding of some social phenomena. My 3D installation Kill a Butterfly is my awakening to social control and resistance to the assimilation of thought. Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi\u27s thoughts helped me to establish a complete self-system and to reflect on the relationship between my true self and society. The Butterfly dream series officially represents this aspect of my understanding

    Integral transformation and Darboux transformation

    Full text link
    We review Darboux-Crum transformation of Heun's differential equation. By rewriting an integral transformation of Heun's differential equation into a form of elliptic functions, we see that the integral representation is a generalization of Darboux-Crum transformation. We also consider conservation of monodromy with respect to the transformations.Comment: 7 pages, based on the talk presented at International Workshop on Nonlinear and Modern Mathematical Physics, China, 19th July 200

    Transformation

    Prior to leaving for Claremont Colleges’ Envriolab Asia trip to Malaysia and Singapore, I was conflicted by the question: Do we have the moral authority to interfere with resource extraction and oil-palm development in SE Asia? At that time, the trip seemed imperialistic. Why should people from Malaysia, Indonesia or any developing SE Asia country listen to a group of liberal arts college faculty from a city where widespread habitat modifications have led to significant loss of native habitats, declines in biodiversity, and changes in how these ecosystems function? Many observations transformed my opinion and have inspired me to advocate for transformative environmental and social change both in SE Asia and at home

    Lorentz-transformation and Galileo-transformation Windows

    Get PDF
    We define Lorentz-transformation windows as windows that change the direction of transmitted light rays like a Lorentz transformation. Similarly, Galileo-transformation windows change the direction of transmitted light rays like a Galileo transformation. This light-ray-direction change distorts the scene seen through such a window in the same way in which the scene would be distorted in a photo taken with a camera moving through the scene. Lorentz-transformation windows can also undo the distortion of the scene when moving at relativistic velocity relative to it. For small angles between the direction of the light rays and the direction of the velocity, Galileo-transformation windows can be realised with relatively simple telescope windows, which consist of arrays of identical micro-telescopes
