description: Au courant de ma thèse, je tente de répondre à la question de recherche suivante : qu’est-ce qui distingue les jeunes universitaires qui participent lors des élections fédérales canadiennes des jeunes universitaires qui ne participent pas? Je propose l’hypothèse que les jeunes universitaires qui participent lors des élections ont des réseaux sociaux plus politisés que les jeunes qui décident de ne pas participer. Suite à la distribution d’un sondage auprès des étudiants et étudiantes de l’Université d’Ottawa, j’ai effectué une série de statistiques descriptives, de tests du khi carré et deux régressions logistiques binaires (une régression utilisant un codage ordinal et une régression utilisant un codage de variables muettes). Ces régressions contrôlent le genre, la langue de préférence, l’année d’étude, l’habitation avec les parents au courant de l’année scolaire, la lecture des nouvelles, l’intérêt en politique, les connaissances en politique, et la fréquence des conversations au sujet de l’élection avec ses parents et ses ami(e)s. Cette analyse démontre des résultats intéressants, notamment que l’influence des parents est plus importante que l’influence des ami(e)s en ce qui concerne la participation électorale des jeunes universitaires.
The Ripple Effects of Prioritizing Personal Excellence or Pleasure: Impacts on the Surrounding World

description: Previous research has looked at how two dominant approaches to pursuing the good life – eudaimonia (pursuit of growth, excellence, authenticity) and hedonia (pursuit of pleasure, comfort) relate to benefits for the self. This thesis looked beyond personal well-being and investigated how eudaimonic and hedonic orientations relate to benefits beyond the self and broader scope of concern. Manuscript 1 assessed the link between eudaimonic and hedonic orientations and self-reported and observational prosocial behaviour, self-focused and other focused values, as well as time perspectives and abstract thinking. Manuscript 2 explored the association between eudaimonic and hedonic orientations and hindering social behaviours, and helping under various circumstances. Next, Manuscript 3 examined reasons for engaging in prosocial behaviours, including self-focused and other-focused motives. Lastly, Manuscript 4 went beyond self-report measures by studying the distinction between eudaimonic and hedonic orientations on reactions to pictures depicting human/animal/nature happiness/health and suffering/degradation based on self-report affect and empathy, facial expressions, and psychophysiological measures (skin conductance and heart rate). Manuscript 1 showed that eudaimonic orientation related to a broader focus, including scope of concern (i.e., a wider variety of prosocial behaviours, prosocial values), a balanced time perspective (present and future focus) and abstract mindset (i.e., high-level construal), while hedonic orientation tended to be more narrowly focused on the self and present moment. Manuscript 2 revealed that eudaimonic orientation related positively to helping under abstract and costly situations, and negatively with hindering social behaviours; hedonic orientation was related to negative impacts beyond the self. Manuscript 3 showed that eudaimonic orientation was a balance of helping to benefit both the self and others, while hedonic orientation was primarily related to helping for personal benefits. Manuscript 4 showed that eudaimonic orientation related to greater self-report joy and suffering beyond the self (relative to hedonia), while findings for facial expressions and psychophysiological responses were inconclusive. This research provides a unique contribution to the well-being literature by investigating the impacts that eudaimonic and hedonic orientations have on society using a comprehensive array of self-report questionnaires and a novel picture paradigm. Limitations of the present research include that most studies were based on self-report which can produce social desirability bias, and that the studies were correlational which limits casual inferences about the findings. Future research would benefit from experimental studies assessing the link between eudaimonia and hedonia and broad scope of concern.
Ions and the calcite-water (10.4) interface - investigated with three-dimensional atomic force microscopy
Creators: name: John, Simon
Publisher: name: Universität Bielefeld
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: 540

description: Solid-liquid interfaces are omnipresent in environmental and technological systems. In this regard, interfacial solvation structures exert a decisive impact on the interface properties and reactivities. The hydration structure of the calcite-water interface has been widely studied due to its relevance in geochemical and industrial processes. However, the influence of dissolved ions on this hydration structure has scarcely been studied. The structure at the calcite-water interface can be investigated with three-dimensional atomic force microscopy (3D AFM), which is a well suited method to directly resolve solvation structures at solid liquid-interfaces.

 This thesis focuses on three main subjects, which are the implementation of evaluation methods for dynamic 3D AFM data, the significance of the static deflection in dynamic 3D AFM data acquisition, and the impact of ions on the hydration structure of calcite.
 For the evaluation of 3D AFM data, a set of analysis tools is presented. This collection includes new and updated calibration tools for the determination of the deflection sensitivity and physical properties of AFM probes. Moreover, reversible correction tools for *z*-drift, sample tilt and the static deflection are introduced. Also, updated extraction and export methods are presented, as well as a collection of minor implementations.
 Regarding the impact of the static deflection on dynamical 3D AFM data, it is shown for the calcite-water system that upon tip-sample approach the increases in static deflection and in the monotonic excitation frequency shift contribution start at different distances to the substrate. Further, data with and without correction for the static deflection are compared, revealing deviations of up to 1 Å for distances between structural features in proximity to the substrate. It is also shown that recorded structures are unaffected from static deflection correction, when the oscillatory contribution of the excitation frequency shift dominates the monotonic contribution.
 The influence of dissolved ions on the hydration structure of calcite terraces and step edges is presented using high-resolution 3D AFM data. For aqueous solutions with different concentrations of rubidium chloride, it is shown that similar hydration structures are observed as in pure water experiments. Additionally, the presence of ions at the interface is verified via slice displacements and changes in imaging contrast.
 In summary, this thesis adresses three topics regarding hydration layer mapping at solid-liquid interfaces. The obtained results pave the way to a better understanding of hydration structures at interfaces.

The curious case of the missing social movement: why the Korku in India do not protest?
Creators: name: Hasnain, Aseem
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: According to the leading theories in the study of social movements, the presence of persistent oppression, grievances, favorable structural conditions such as political opportunities, social networks and organizations make it reasonable to expect a social movement if one is an optimist, or collective protest(s), if one is a pessimist. The Indigenous Korku community is in such a situation and they also exhibit a robust oppositional consciousness. Yet, there is no social movement, no organized protest, and no mobilization around an existing collective identity, not even 'hidden transcripts' of resistance. I use ethnographic data to detail out discursive practices deployed by actors in this case and argue that the dominant logic emanating from mainstream theories of social movements does not work all the time. I show that what eventually matters, for organized protests or social movements, is a matrix of several elements, some known, some speculative, and some currently unexplained.

description: A qubit can relax by fluorescence, which prompts the release of a photon into its electromagnetic environment. By counting the emitted photons, discrete quantum jumps of the qubit state can be observed. The succession of states occupied by the qubit in a single experiment, its quantum trajectory, depends in fact on the kind of detector. How are the quantum trajectories modified if one measures continuously the amplitude of the fluorescence field instead? Using a superconducting parametric amplifier, we have performed heterodyne detection of the fluorescence of a superconducting qubit. For each realization of the measurement record, we can reconstruct a different quantum trajectory for the qubit. The observed evolution obeys quantum state diffusion, which is characteristic of quantum measurements subject to zero point fluctuations. Independent projective measurements of the qubit at various times provide a quantitative validation of the reconstructed trajectories. By exploring the statistics of quantum trajectories, we demonstrate that the qubit states span a deterministic surface in the Bloch sphere at each time in the evolution. Additionally, we show that when monitoring fluorescence, coherent superpositions are generated during the decay from excited to ground state. Counterintuitively, measuring light emitted during relaxation can give rise to trajectories with increased excitation probability.

title: By land, water, and air: an evaluation of the impact of embankment setbacks and two-stage channel design on flood characteristics of the upper River Nith
Creators: name: Van, Breanna
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: River channelisation is a method of hard engineering that laterally constrains and straightens a river, with the twofold aims of increasing a river’s hydraulic efficiency and minimising land loss due to floodrelated erosion. However, in catchments with low sediment supply, such as Scotland, rivers typically respond to channelisation with channel incision and bed armouring, which further reduce floodplain connectivity and physical habitat diversity. Recently, two-stage channel design and embankment setbacks have been applied as a restoration method to return sediment mobility to channelised rivers with the goal of improving both biodiversity, bank stability and channel-floodplain connectivity. These techniques include carving out small benches to act as a floodplain and pushing back existing embankments to allow for increased river movement. In late-2019, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) completed restoration works on an upper section of the River Nith near New Cumnock, Scotland by implementing embankment setbacks and two-stage channel design to two sections of the river with the goal of demonstrating natural flood management approaches for this type of channelised, incised river. This thesis investigated the restoration works completed by SEPA and analysed the difference in flood impacts including inundation extent, flow depth, and shear stress, between the pre-restoration and post-restoration topography using a variety of field survey techniques and numerical modelling software. Specifically, data from previous Airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and bathymetry surveys were used in conjunction with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) LiDAR, real-time kinematic Global Navigation Satellite System (RTK-GNSS), and echo-sounding via acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) surveys that were conducted as part of this dissertation in 2022. The digital elevation models (DEMs) created from these surveys were then input into Geomorphic Change Detection (GCD) software and the Hydrologic Engineering Center – River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) flood modelling program to quantify topographic change due to channel-floodplain modification and flood impacts by modelling multiple recurrence interval events. Overall, the findings of this thesis suggest that, for particular design flood events, the embankment setbacks and two-stage channel design have increased flood extent and floodplain connectivity while reducing the amount of flow overtopping embankments and decreasing overall water depth and bed shear stress.

description: This study examined the effects of gender, source of evaluation and sport on perceived leadership ability. The participants include varsity student-athletes and coaching staffs. The survey instrument is the Janssen Peak Performance Team Leadership Evaluation© consisting of 24 questions with a 5-point Likert scale which will serve be used for 360-degree feedback, the three sources of evaluation being the leader, teammates and coaches. The results found the following significant. Coach evaluations for male leaders on team sports scored higher than those on individual sports. Self evaluations for male leaders on individual sports were higher than the coach evaluations had for them. Coach evaluations for male leaders on team sports scored higher than those of the female leaders. More specifically, the evaluations of the male coaches of female leaders were higher than the evaluations of their female coaches. Finally, there was a significant relationship between leadership by example and vocal leadership.
Concurrency-Enhancing Transformations for Asynchronous Behavioral Specifications
Creators: name: Hansen, John B.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: State-of-the-art synthesis tools for the design of asynchronous systems rely on syntax-driven translation of behavioral specifications. While these tools provide the benefit of rapid design, they are severely limited in the performance of their resulting implementations (e.g., 10-100 MHz). This research proposes a synthesis approach that builds upon the existing state-of-the-art tools, preserving rapid design times and allowing for an order of magnitude increase in performance. In particular, this thesis proposes a powerful approach to enhance the concurrency of the original behavioral specifications. The proposed approach is a “source-to-source” transformation of the original behavioral specification into a new behavioral specification using two specific optimizations: automatic parallelization and automatic pipelining. The approach has been implemented in an automated design tool and applied to a suite of examples for validation. All examples were synthesized to the gate level after optimization and compared with the original, non-optimized versions. Results indicate improvement in throughput by a factor of up to 23X and a reduction in latency by up to 72%.

description: ECG recordings provide diagnostic relevant information on the de- and repolarisation sequences of the heart. A modification of the repolarisation sequence is assumed to cause Torsades de Pointes. Especially drug induced effects on the repolarisation processes are in focus, since some non-cardiac drugs have been associated with sudden cardiac death in the 1990s. The analysis of the ventricular repolarisation using a set of parameters depicting the morphology of the T-wave is introduced in this work. Therefore, new methods of fully automatic patient-specific QRS detection, beat classification and precise T-wave delineation are presented. Using these methods, medical studies are investigated regarding the modification of the T-wave by different compounds. Also the impact of the heart rate on the morphology of the T-wave is part of this research. The reliable identification of ventricular ectopic beats allows an analysis of the influence of these beats on subsequent heart beats. It turned out that the morphology of subsequent heart beats can significantly be changed. This might give new information on the proarrythmical risk of ventricular ectopic beats.
The Politics of Losing the AAA Rating: A Critical Perspective on the Sovereign Downgrades of the United States, France, and Austria
Creators: name: Dunnam, Zachary Tisdale
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This article promotes the utility of critical theory to examine instances of private authority in international affairs with a particular focus on the political consequences of a sovereign credit rating downgrade. After historicizing the American roots of credit rating agencies and linking their global expansion to the growth of transnational finance in the neo-liberal era, this article argues that credit rating agencies' authority is socially constructed and inextricably tied to the United States' hegemonic position in the current world order. This argument is qualified through case analyses of the politics surrounding the sovereign downgrades of the US, France, and Austria. The results of these case studies shows that following the global financial crisis of 2008 credit rating agencies' judgments on sovereign debt are much more political than technical, their power to affect the cost of capital is diminished, and their authority is increasingly challenged by bondholders, political leaders, and regulators.

description: Charge exchange is an important process for the modeling of X-ray spectra obtained by the Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku X-ray observatories, as well as the anticipated Astro-H mission. The understanding of the observed X-ray spectra produced by many astrophysical environments is hindered by the current incompleteness of available atomic and molecular data -- especially for charge exchange. Here, we implement a streamlined program set that applies quantum defect methods and the Landau-Zener theory to generate total, n-resolved, and nlS-resolved cross sections for any given projectile ion/ target charge exchange collision. Using this data in a cascade model for X-ray emission, theoretical spectra for such systems can be predicted. With these techniques, Fe25+ and Fe26+ charge exchange collisions with H, He, H2, N2, H2O, and CO are studied for single electron capture. These systems have been selected as they illustrate computational difficulties for high projectile charges. Further, Fe XXV and Fe XXVI emission lines have been detected in the Galactic center and Galactic ridge. Theoretical X-ray spectra for these collision systems are compared to experimental data generated by an electron beam ion trap study. Several l- distribution models have been tested for Fe25+ and Fe26+ single electron capture. Such analysis suggests that commonly used l-distribution models struggle to accurately reflect the true distribution of electron capture as understood by more advanced theoretical methods.

Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines the Wienhausen Effigy of Christ-- a 15th century religious artwork from the Wienhausen Cloister in northern Germany. It will attempt to explain the Effigy's origins, usage, and overall history. By examining it I hope to break through the relative mystery surrounding this unique artwork, and show how its position in the Cloister as a liturgical object, reliquary, pilgrimage site, meditational tool, and subject of intense religious performance and mysticism, is both common for the time and highly unusual. In this way, it will be a valuable tool to understanding how 15th century women, particularly nuns, worshiped, thought, and lived. This thesis tracks the known history of the Effigy as well as the Wienhausen Cloister. Research has been collected from the Wienhausen Kloister's archives, primary texts, personal interviews, journal articles, and other publications. This thesis will also draw on more contemporary ideas of pre-Reformation art and performance.

description: Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) pose a serious threat to sustainability in manufacturing. In particular, this phenomenon impacts the sustainability indicators of worker health and safety and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Effective MSD prevention measures would therefore constitute a remarkable contribution to social and economic sustainability. This chapter provides first an outline of existing methods to prevent MSD at the workplace. Analysis of the approaches yields that effective solutions require earmarked finances as well as qualified personnel, both of which are not affordable for many companies. In pursuit of solutions, Human-centred Automation (HCA), a recent paradigm in manufacturing, proposes the design of manufacturing systems using intelligent technology to support the worker instead of replacing him/her. HCA has the unique potential of reducing the effort needed to implement MSD prevention strategies by simplifying the path to social and economic sustainability. This chapter demonstrates this process with the example of the “Working Posture Controller” (WPC), which illustrates how the HCA concept can be applied. Finally, the lessons learned from the case are outlined, providing a vision of how future workplaces can benefit from HCA.

Creators: name: McGovern, Rory

description: In the culminating achievements of a lengthy U.S. Army career, George W. Goethals completed the Panama Canal and managed the effort to sustain over two million soldiers abroad during the final year of World War I. At the outset of that career, neither he nor the Army was prepared to accomplish these missions. This thesis studies not only Goethals's life and career up to 1907 when he was ordered to Panama, but also the Army's reforms, methods of developing rising officers, and attitudes about formal training and education during that period. Ultimately, it finds that Goethals's career was shaped by a small amount of training and the interplay of his own talent, personal connections, and luck. It also suggests that prevailing attitudes about training and education helped create an institutional culture that was at odds with structural reforms implemented by Secretary of War Elihu Root after the Spanish American War.

description: We give a rigorous framework for the interaction of physical computing devices with abstract computation. Device and program are mediated by the non-logical 'representation relation'; we give the conditions under which representation and device theory give rise to commuting diagrams between logical and physical domains, and the conditions for computation to occur. We give the interface of this new framework with currently existing formal methods, showing in particular its close relationship to refinement theory, and the implications for questions of meaning and reference in theoretical computer science. The case of hybrid computing is considered in detail, addressing in particular the example of an internet-mediated 'social machine', and the abstraction/representation framework used to provide a formal distinction between heterotic and hybrid computing. This forms the basis for future use of the framework in formal treatments of nonstandard physical computers.

description: Value creation ensures societal prosperity. At the same time, Sustainable Development determines the future of global human wellbeing. Both aspects are based on profound environmental, social and economic mechanisms—and both aspects are closely linked. The Sustainability Dynamics Model describes the direct and indirect effects of value creation together with the three dimensions of Sustainable Development. This contribution introduces and defines the Sustainability Dynamics Model. The effects and dynamics are exemplarily shown. Eventually, the link to circular economy is drawn. In the future, the Sustainability Dynamics Model can be used as a control model in order to predict consequences of value creation towards environmental, social and economic sustainability.

description: Geschäftsprozess- und Ressourcenmodelle können bislang nur eingeschränkt zur Untersuchung des Ressourceneinsatzes genutzt werden, da relevante Eigenschaften nicht adäquat abgebildet werden. Aus diesem Grund wird in dieser Arbeit die Resource Modeling Language (RML) konzipiert und durch Ressourcen-Netze in die Geschäftsprozessmodellierung integriert. Zur Modellierung und Analyse wird das Werkzeug RAvEN konzipiert. Die Analyse des Ressourceneinsatzes erfolgt durch Simulationsexperimente.

description: We study the slope, intercept, and scatter of the color-magnitude and color-mass relations for a sample of ten infrared red-sequence-selected clusters at z ~ 1. The quiescent galaxies in these clusters formed the bulk of their stars above z ~ 3 with an age spread Δt ~ 1 Gyr. We compare UVJ color-color and spectroscopic-based galaxy selection techniques, and find a 15% difference in the galaxy populations classified as quiescent by these methods. We compare the color-magnitude relations from our red-sequence selected sample with X-ray- and photometric- redshift-selected cluster samples of similar mass and redshift. Within uncertainties, we are unable to detect any difference in the ages and star formation histories of quiescent cluster members in clusters selected by different methods, suggesting that the dominant quenching mechanism is insensitive to cluster baryon partitioning at z ~ 1.

Classification

description: This work provides methods to measure and analyze features of atrial electrograms - especially complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) - mathematically. Automated classification of CFAEs into clinical meaningful classes is applied and the newly gained electrogram information is visualized on patient specific 3D models of the atria. Clinical applications of the presented methods showed that quantitative measures of CFAEs reveal beneficial information about the underlying arrhythmia.
The generation gap between group affiliation and politics: how age influences the political impact of religious commitment amongst evangelicals
Creators: name: Garrett, Kristin Nicole
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: While scholars have established that both social groups and cultural contexts matter for politics, the question of how different socializing environments mediate the political impact of group affiliations remains unanswered. In this paper, therefore, I draw from contextual effects literature to build a case that high contextual complexity, where a person's cultural environment and social group convey conflicting norms and generate cross-pressures, increases the political relevance of group commitment. More specifically, I argue that when contextual complexity is low, group membership is largely sufficient to shape people's political actions and identities. When contextual complexity is high, however, membership alone is not enough to define individuals' political behavior. It requires their commitment to the group. Applying this theory to religion and politics, I find support for my hypothesis: the political effect of religious commitment is greater amongst young evangelicals, who were socialized into politics in a more complex context than older evangelicals.

description: We report the discovery of a possible planet in microlensing event MOA-2010-BLG-353. This event was only recognised as having a planetary signal after the microlensing event had finished, and following a systematic analysis of all archival data for binary lens microlensing events collected to date. Data for event MOA-2010-BLG-353 were only recorded by the high cadence observations of the OGLE and MOA survey groups. If we make the assumptions that the probability of the lens star hosting a planet of the measured mass ratio is independent of the lens star mass or distance, and that the source star is in the Galactic bulge, a probability density analysis indicates the planetary system comprises a 0.9^{+1.6}_{-0.53} M_{Saturn} mass planet orbiting a 0.18^{+0.32}_{-0.11} M_{sun} red dwarf star, 6.43^{+1.09}_{-1.15} kpc away. The projected separation of the planet from the host star is 1.72^{+0.56}_{-0.48} AU. Under the additional assumption that the source is on the far side of the Galactic bulge, the probability density analysis favours a lens system comprising a slightly lighter planet.
