description: A figura da jovem Antígona tem exercido um enorme fascínio sobre os criadores de todos os tempos, nunca tendo abandonado o imaginário literário universal. Sófocles rendera‐se ao poder desta personagem mitológica muito antes de os escritores contemporâneos terem descoberto a sua plasticidade. São diversas e incontáveis as versões deste mito, que resultam do carácter simbólico actualizável, reinterpretável e adaptável da actuação da jovem filha de Édipo perante a decisão arbitrária de Creonte. Os retratos de Antígona são, assim, tão múltiplos quanto as personalidades e as ideologias dos autores que revisitaram a narrativa mítica e tão diversas quanto os tempos da escrita.(...)

Episodic Mixing and Buoyancy-Sorting Representations of Shallow Convection: A Diagnostic Study
Creators: name: Austin, Philip H.
name: Zhao, Ming
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2016

description: Episodic mixing and buoyancy-sorting (EMBS) models have been proposed as a physically more realistic alternative to entraining plume models of cumulus convection. Applying these models to shallow nonprecipitating clouds requires assumptions about the rate at which undilute subcloud air is eroded into the environment, an algorithm to calculate the eventual detrainment level of cloud–environment mixtures, and the probability distribution of mixing fraction. A diagnostic approach is used to examine the sensitivity of an EMBS model to these three closure assumptions, given equilibrium convection with known large-scale forcings taken from phase III of the Barbados Oceanographic Meteorological Experiment (BOMEX). The undilute eroding rate (UER) is retrieved and found to decrease exponentially with height above cloud base, suggesting a strong modulation by the cloud size distribution. The EMBS model is also used to calculate convective transport by individual clouds of varying thickness. No single cloud from this ensemble can balance the large-scale BOMEX forcing; the observed equilibrium requires a population of clouds with a cloud size distribution that is maximum for small clouds and decreases monotonically with cloud size. The EMBS model depends sensitively on the assumptions governing the detrainment of positively buoyant mixtures. In particular, given the requirement that positively buoyant mixtures detrain at their neutral buoyancy level, there is no positive definite undilute eroding rate that is consistent with the BOMEX forcing. The model is less sensitive to the assumed distribution of cloud–environment mixtures, given a multiple mixing treatment of positively buoyant parcels and detrainment at the unsaturated neutral buoyancy level.

Adaptive Nonlinear MOS Scheme for Precipitation Forecasts Using Neural Networks.

Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2016

description: A novel neural network (NN)–based scheme performs nonlinear model output statistics (MOS) for generating precipitation forecasts from numerical weather prediction (NWP) model output. Data records from the past few weeks are sufficient for establishing an initial MOS connection, which then adapts itself to the ongoing changes and modifications in the NWP model. The technical feasibility of the algorithm is demonstrated in three numerical experiments using the NCEP reanalysis data in the Alaskan panhandle and the coastal region of British Columbia. Its performance is compared with that of a conventional NN-based nonadaptive scheme. When the new adaptive method is employed, the degradation in the precipitation forecast skills due to changes in the NWP model is small and is much less than the degradation in the performance of the conventional nonadaptive scheme.

description: Recent evidence suggests that chronic exposure to high levels of ambient particulate matter (PM) is associated with decreased pulmonary function and the development of chronic airflow obstruction. To investigate the possible role of PM-induced abnormalities in the small airways in these functional changes, we examined histologic sections from the lungs of 20 women from Mexico City, a high PM locale. All subjects were lifelong residents of Mexico City, were never-smokers, never had occupational dust exposure, and never used biomass fuel for cooking. Twenty neversmoking, non–dust-exposed subjects from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a low PM region, were used as a control. By light microscopy, abnormal small airways with fibrotic walls and excess muscle, many containing visible dust, were present in the Mexico City lungs. Formal grading analysis confirmed the presence of significantly greater amounts of fibrous tissue and muscle in the walls of the airways in the Mexico City compared with the Vancouver lungs. Electron microscopic particle burden measurements on four cases from Mexico City showed that carbonaceous aggregates of ultrafine particles, aggregates likely to be combustion products, were present in the airway mucosa. We conclude that PM penetrates into and is retained in the walls of small airways, and that, even in nonsmokers, long-term exposure to high levels of ambient particulate pollutants is associated with small airway remodeling. This process may produce chronic airflow obstruction.

Athapaskans and Migrations : The Archaeology of Eagle Lake, British Columbia

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This document represents the first complete draft of Athapaskan Migrations: The Archaeology of Eagle Lake, British Columbia, published by University of Arizona Press in 2007. The Press required a substantial reduction in the size of the MS and about 30% of the text and about 50% of the figures were removed. Some of the principal arguments were abbreviated and fuller discussion can be found in this document. Other space reductions were in part mitigated by removing six sections and hosting them as on-line appendices at the University of British Columbia Library cIRcle and these can be seen at: http://hdl.handle.net/2429/39217. This 2003 MS was the basis of Matson’s testimony as an expert witness in the Roger William v British Columbia case and cited numerous times in Judge Vickers’ decision (Tsilhqot’in Nation v British Columbia, 2007 BCSC 1700) granting the Tsilhqot’in land title for the rst time in Canada, which was upheld in a 8 to 0 decision by the Canadian Supreme Court in 2014 (Tsilhqot’in Nation v British Columbia, 2014 SCC44). The required reductions to the length of the manuscript meant that any discussion of the court case was not possible in the published version, although we made certain changes as a result of our participation in the case. Magne’s participation is essentially unacknowledged in the court proceedings because his position as a Federal civil servant meant that his formal involvement could only have been on the Government’s side, for which he declined to appear. Matson therefore spoke largely for Magne and himself in his testimony.
Self-organization of nano-lines and dots triggered by a local mechanical stimulus
Creators: name: Kshirsagar, Raj
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2013
Subjects: Applied Physics

description: When a local mechanical perturbation is applied to the surface of
a thin film of a mechanically interlocked molecule (a rotaxane), the
molecules self-organize into periodic arrays of discrete dots or
lines. The dimensionality of the nanostructures depends on
whether the mechanical stimulus acts along a 1D line or over a 2D
area. The size (50 –500 nm) and periodicity (100 – 600 nm) of the
patterns are controlled solely by the film thickness. This self-
organization at the mesoscopic scale occurs via a nucleation-
ripening mechanism eased by the relatively low energy barriers of
the intramolecular rearrangement introduced by the mechanical
bond. The phenomenon can be exploited as a bottom-up nano-
fabrication method.

Zivilgesellschaft und kompetitiver Autoritarismus in Malaysia

Publisher: name: ASIEN: The German Journal on Contemporary Asia
Year: 2022

description: This article analyses the development of civil society in Malaysia under competitive-authoritarian rule. Applying the concept of historical institutionalism, institutional legacies will be identified which have been and still are of great influence on the structures and functions of Malaysian civil society. The study shows that civil society changed profoundly since 1957, with regard to its structures and functionalities. An ethnically segmented civil society, based on religious, cultural and functional interest groups, has been replaced by civil society which is built upon NGOs and social movements which are well-connected with other opposition actors. The article argues that civil society groups are increasingly emerging as challengers for the autocratic elites. Nevertheless, by using coercion and co-opting parts of the opposition, the autocratic elites continue to keep the civil society in check in order to stabilize their autocratic rule. However, the use of coercion and cooptation is restricted due to the regime's competitive character, thus producing structural, functional and operative limited civil society.

Demokratie und zivile Kontrolle über das Militär in Thailand und Indonesien

Year: 2022

description: It is widely accepted that civilian control of the military is defining element of democratic consolidation. This article demonstrates how lack of civilian control negatively affects democracy in Indonesia and Thailand. Based on newly developed concept of civilian control and the concept of embedded democracy it analyzes the direct effects of weak civilian control on civilian governments' effective power to govern and its indirect effects on the other partial regimes of democracy. Our results show that civilian control is weak in both countries. However, while Indonesia's electoral regime, the core of democracy, is only marginally affected by military interference, the fairness of Thai elections suffers from massive intrusions of the armed forces. Still, lacking civilian control in Indonesia indirectly aggravates defects in other partial regimes of democracy, such as the violation of civil rights or corruption. Indonesia's electoral regime is only affected on the subnational level.

Year: 2022

description: Is democracy in crisis in Southeast Asia? The article gives an overview over the status of democratization in Southeast Asia by looking at established democracy indices such as the Freedom House data and Bertelsmann Transformation Index. After mapping the regime types of Southeast Asian states, the article analyses the state of consolidation in Southeast Asia's young democracies with Linz/Stepan's model of democratic consolidation. The article shows that democracy has received serious setbacks only in Thailand (and to certain extent also in the Philippines), whereas Indonesia's democracy has gained maturity in recent years. These developments are reflected in constitutional consolidation, political party development and the reform of the militaries of the region. The prospects for democratization are quite gloomy, since most of the authoritarian regimes in the region lack the conditions considered conducive for democratization, such as economic development, vivid and active middle class or vigorous working class. External influences also favour the status quo and do not support democratization.

description: Oxford University DPhil. Thesis. Department of Statistics. Lady Margaret Hall. 2004. Abstract: The extent to which natural selection shapes diversity within populations is a key question for population genetics. Thus, there is considerable interest in quantifying the strength of selection. In this thesis a full likelihood approach for inference about selection at a single site within an otherwise neutral fully-linked sequence of sites is developed. Integral to many of the ideas introduced in this thesis is the reversibility of the diffusion process, and some past approaches to this concept are reviewed. A coalescent model of evolution is used to model the ancestry of a sample of DNA sequences which have the selected site segregating. A novel method for simulating the coalescent with selection, acting at a single biallelic site, is described. Selection is incorporated through modelling the frequency of the selected and neutral allelic classes stochastically back in time. The ancestry is then simulated using a subdivided population model considering the population frequencies through time as variable population sizes. The approach is general and can be used for any selection scheme at a biallelic locus. The mutation model, for the selected and neutral sites, is the infinitely-many-sites model where there is no back or parallel mutation at sites. This allows a unique perfect phylogeny, a gene tree, to be constructed from the configuration of mutations on the sample sequences. An importance sampling algorithm is described to explore over coalescent tree space consistent with this gene tree. The method is used to assess the evidence for selection in a number of data sets. These are as follows: a partial selective sweep in the G6PD gene (Verrelli et al., 2002); a recent full sweep in the Factor IX gene (Harris and Hey, 2001); and balancing selection in the DCP1 gene (Rieder et al., 1999). Little evidence of the action of selection is found in the data set of Verrelli et al. (2002) and the dataset of Rieder et al. (1999) seems inconsistent with the model of balancing selection. The patterns of diversity in the data set of Harris and Hey (2001) offer support of the hypothesis of a full sweep.
How East Asians Understand Democracy: From Comparative Perspective
Creators: name: Shin, Doh Chull

Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2022

description: Democracy is political model with global appeal, but little is known about how contemporary publics understand it. Are East Asians capable of defining democracy in their own words? Are they also capable of prioritizing its properties? Do they tend to understand it procedurally or substantively? This paper addresses these questions by analyzing responses to the open-ended and closed-ended questions that the second round of the East Asia Barometer surveys asked in nine countries in 2006 and 2007. Results of this analysis confirm that most people in East Asia are cognitively capable of defining democracy. Contrary to what is known in the literature, however, the majority of East Asians do not equate democracy exclusively with political freedom. This finding leads to the conclusion that the prevalence of substantive or communitarian conceptions of democracy is one important characteristic of the cultural democratization unfolding in East Asia.

description: We have developed two whole genome-scanning techniques to aid in the discovery of polymorphisms as well as horizontally acquired genes in prokaryotic organisms.First, two-dimensional bacterial genomic display (2DBGD) was developed using restriction enzyme fragmentation to separate genomic DNA based on size, and then employing denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) in the second dimension to exploit differences in sequence composition. This technique was used to generate high-resolution displays that enable the direct comparison of >800 genomic fragments simultaneously and can be adapted for the high-throughput comparison of bacterial genomes. 2DBGDs are capable of detecting acquired and altered DNA, however, only in very closely related strains. If used to compare more distantly related strains (e.g. different species within a genus) numerous small changes (i.e. small deletions and point mutations) unrelated to the interesting phenotype, would encumber the comparison of 2DBGDs. For this reason asecond method, bacterial comparative genomic hybridization (BCGH), was developed to directly compare bacterial genomes to identify gain or loss of genomic DNA. BCGH relies on performing 2DBGD on a pooled sample of genomic DNA from 2 strains to be compared and subsequently hybridizing the resulting 2DBGD blot separately with DNA from each individual strain. Unique spots (hybridization signals) represent foreign DNA. The identification of novel DNA is easily achieved by excising the DNA from a dried gel followed by subsequent cloning and sequencing. 2DBGD and BCGH thus represent novel high resolution genome scanning techniques for directly identifying altered and/or acquired DNA.

description: Social scientists strive to understand the social tapestry. Archaeologists, plagued by data deficiencies, can use established methods for insights into the nuanced complexities of ancient social interaction and hierarchy. We use reliability analysis to examine 683 burials from our work in the Copan Valley, Honduras, and then generalize its application as a mortuary analysis tool to other Mesoamerican and global societies. More than a methodological exercise, we additionally show how many models of social complexity utilizing mortuary remains that partition data into discrete clusters lose information, produce misleading results, and fail to portray what anthropologists know about social complexity.
Do Statins have a Role in Primary Prevention?

description: Therapeutics Letter 48 considers whether statins have a role in primary prevention. Conclusions: If cardiovascular serious adverse events are viewed in isolation, 71 primary prevention patients with cardiovascular risk factors have to be treated with a statin for 3 to 5 years to prevent one myocardial infarction or stroke. This cardiovascular benefit is not reflected in 2 measures of overall health impact, total mortality and total serious adverse events. Therefore, statins have not been shown to provide an overall health benefit in primary prevention trials.

Unified Treatment of Thermodynamic and Optical Variability in a Simple Model of Unresolved Low Clouds
Creators: name: Austin, Philip H.
name: Jeffery, Christopher A.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2016

description: Comparative studies of global climate models have long shown a marked sensitivity to the parameterization of cloud properties. Early attempts to quantify this sensitivity were hampered by diagnostic schemes that were inherently biased toward the contemporary climate. Recently, prognostic cloud schemes based on an assumed statistical distribution of subgrid variability replaced the older diagnostic schemes in some models. Although the relationship between unresolved variability and mean cloud amount is known in principle, a corresponding relationship between ice-free low cloud thermodynamic and optical properties is lacking. The authors present a simple, analytically tractable statistical optical depth parameterization for boundary layer clouds that links mean reflectivity and emissivity to the underlying distribution of unresolved fluctuations in model thermodynamic variables. To characterize possible impacts of this parameterization on the radiative budget of a large-scale model, they apply it to a zonally averaged climatology, illustrating the importance of a coupled treatment of subgrid-scale condensation and optical variability. They derive analytic expressions for two response functions that characterize two potential low cloud feedback scenarios in a warming climate. Copyright 2003 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

description: Nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA), via a neural network (NN) approach, was applied to an ensemble of six 47-yr simulations conducted by the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) second-generation atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM2). Each simulation was forced with the observed sea surface temperature [from the Global Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature dataset (GISST)] from January 1948 to November 1994. The NLPCA modes reveal nonlinear structures in both the winter 500-mb geopotential height (Z500) anomalies and surface air temperature (SAT) anomalies over North America, with asymmetric spatial anomaly patterns during the opposite phases of an NLPCA mode. Only during its negative phase is the first NLPCA mode related to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO); the positive phase is related to a weakened jet stream. Spatial patterns of the NLPCA mode for the Z500 anomalies generally agree with those for the SAT anomalies. Nonlinear canonical correlation analysis (NLCCA), also via an NN approach, was then applied to the midlatitude winter GCM data and the observed SST of the tropical Pacific. Nonlinearity was detected in both the forcing field (SST) and the response field (Z500 or SAT) at zero time lag. The leading NLCCA mode for the SST anomalies is a nonlinear ENSO mode, with a 30°–40° eastward shift of the positive SST anomalies during El Niño relative to the negative SST anomalies during La Niña. The leading NLCCA mode for the Z500 anomaly field is a nonlinear Pacific–North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern. The ray path of the Rossby waves induced during El Niño is 10°–15° east of that induced during La Niña. The nonlinear atmospheric response to ENSO is also found in the leading NLCCA mode for the SAT anomalies. Copyright 2003 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

Most of the variation was distributed among populations, but a considerable variation was also observed within some populations. No strong spatial structure was detected suggesting complex postglacial migration patterns. Possible explanations include the existence of several separated refugia in the region, the recolonization of mountains from different beech lineages and the formation of an introgression zone between two different beech subspecies in the broader area of Rodopi. This paper describes a presentation done at at the International Conference “Hot Spots of Ancient and Present genetic Diversity”, 17 - 20 June 2009, Sofia Bulgaria

Communication

description: MegaRoller is a project with funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 763959. The project shall develop and demonstrate a Power Take-Off for wave energy converters.
 The communication plan applies to external communication and public outreach of results in the project.
 The report gives a status of the external communication activities that have taken place in the consortium since project start and how this relates the activities set out in the corresponding communication plan. This document therefore contains an updated version of the original communication plan (D6.1) as well as the report on the activities taken place in the first 18 Months.
 In the original communication plan, the project planned to make one final video. We found video for this project relevant and that it gives high visibility. Thus, we have already produced a video with views exceeding the KPIs. We are also producing several more videos that will be published in the last half of the project. The project is also on track on blogs, press releases and media. The media reach has exceeded the KPIs in the project.

This leadership course is possibly the first in the world to provide an intersectional framework that underpins a leadership course for those in the tech industry. 

 

It focuses on centering the individual and prioritising based on the "degree of difficulty" across recruitment, retention, and relationship management.

 

This course lays bare the core, practical concepts that you need to know to be an outstanding leader.

Mitogen-activated protein kinases in normal and (pre)neoplastic ovarian surface epithelium
Creators: name: Choi, Kyung-Chul

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a group of serine/threonine kinases which are activated in response to a diverse array of extracellular stimuli and mediate signal transduction from the cell surface to the nucleus. It has been demonstrated that MAPKs are activated by external stimuli including chemotherapeutic agents, growth factors and reproductive hormones in ovarian surface epithelial cells. Thus, the MAPK signaling pathway may play an important role in the regulation of proliferation, survival and apoptosis in response to these external stimuli in ovarian cancer. In this article, an activation of the MAPK signaling cascade by several key reproductive hormones and growth factors in epithelial ovarian cancer is reviewed.

The role of the breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) in sporadic epithelial ovarian cancer
Creators: name: McCoy, Marcia L.
name: Mueller, Christopher R.

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Mutations within the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene occur frequently in familial epithelial ovarian carcinomas but they are a rare event in the much more prevalent sporadic form of the disease. However, decreased BRCA1 expression occurs frequently in sporadic tumors, and the magnitude of this decrease has been correlated with increased disease progression. The near absence of somatic mutations consequently suggests that there are alternative mechanisms that may contribute to the observed loss of BRCA1 in sporadic tumors. Indeed, both allelic loss at the BRCA1 locus and epigenetic hypermethylation of the BRCA1 promoter play an important role in BRCA1 down-regulation; yet these mechanisms alone or in combination do not always account for the reduced BRCA1 expression. Alternatively, misregulation of specific upstream factors that control BRCA1 transcription may be a crucial means by which BRCA1 is lost. Therefore, determining how regulators of BRCA1 expression may be co-opted during sporadic ovarian tumorigenesis will lead to a better understanding of ovarian cancer etiology and it may help foster the future development of novel therapeutic strategies aimed at halting ovarian tumor progression.

Ovarian surface epithelium: family history and early events in ovarian cancer
Creators: name: Wong, Alice S

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death from gynecological cancers in the Western world. There are many genetic and environmental factors which can influence a woman's risk of getting ovarian cancer. A strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer is definitely one of the most important and best-defined epidemiological risk factors. This review evaluates current knowledge of hereditary ovarian cancer. Histologic, cytologic and molecular studies on the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE), which is the origin of ovarian epithelial carcinomas, from women with a strong family history for ovarian carcinomas or with a mutation in one of the two known cancer susceptibility genes – BRCA1 and BRCA2, provide a background to facilitate understanding of the early changes in ovarian carcinogenesis. This overview is followed by a discussion of recent hypotheses and research on two questions. First, is there a mutational hotspot of BRCA mutation for ovarian cancer? Second, why do mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are ubiquitously expressed genes that participate in general cellular activities, lead preferentially to breast and ovarian cancer?
