description: We present an algorithm for finding temporally consistent occlusion boundaries in videos to support segmentation of dynamic scenes. We learn occlusion boundaries in a pairwise Markov random field (MRF) framework. We first estimate the probability of an spatio-temporal edge being an occlusion boundary by using appearance, flow, and geometric features. Next, we enforce occlusion boundary continuity in a MRF model by learning pairwise occlusion probabilities using a random forest. Then, we temporally smooth boundaries to remove temporal inconsistencies in occlusion boundary estimation. Our proposed framework provides an efficient approach for finding temporally consistent occlusion boundaries in video by utilizing causality, redundancy in videos, and semantic layout of the scene. We have developed a dataset with fully annotated ground-truth occlusion boundaries of over 30 videos ($5000 frames). This dataset is used to evaluate temporal occlusion boundaries and provides a much needed baseline for future studies. We perform experiments to demonstrate the role of scene layout, and temporal information for occlusion reasoning in dynamic scenes.

description: Self-harm in immigration detention is more than just a symptom of mental ill-health. This thesis argues that it should instead be seen as a form of communication – an act of resistance and protest by detainees in the face of the human rights violations of incarceration. Currently, most research into self-harm in immigration detention focuses on the causal links between incarceration and high rates of self-harm. It does not seek to understand why people in immigration harm themselves, nor what these actions mean. This thesis argues that self-harm should be examines within the context of systemic violence and alongside a structural analysis of power, resistance, vulnerability and agency. Data from interviews and research are examined within the prism of a theory of violence and sovereign power. This unique approach requires incorporating multiple disciplines including psychology, psychoanalysis, philosophy, political science and queer theory. Relying heavily on the works of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, this thesis concludes that even in situations of total power such as immigration detention, people are not passive acceptors of injustice. They retain the ability to act. In settings where official and conventional avenues of communication have been cut off, their resistance takes on non-conventional forms and the body is a last resort of action. Detainees’ bodies are literal sites where sovereign power is not only played out, but also opposed. This research seeks to provide a more nuanced and structural understanding of selfharm. It also challenges the complicit reinforcement of dominant power structures which flow from traditional readings of self-harm. This approach ultimately allows the rehumanisation of immigration detainees and their actions.

description: The passage of DNA through a nanopore can be effectively decomposed into two distinct phases, docking and actual translocation. In experiments each phase is characterized by a distinct current signature which allows the discrimination of the two events. However, at low voltages a clear distinction of the two phases is lost. By using numerical simulations we clarify how the current signature associated to the docking events depends on the applied voltage. The simulations show that at small voltage the DNA globule enhances the pore conductance due to an enrichment of charge carriers. At high voltage, the globule drains substantial charge carriers from the pore region, thereby reducing the overall conductance. The results provide a new interpretation to the experimental data on conductance and show how docking interferes with the translocation signal, of potential interest for sequencing applications.

description: Glomerulus detection is a key step in histopathological evaluation of microscopy images of kidneys. However, the task of automatic detection of glomeruli poses challenges due to the disparity in sizes and shapes of glomeruli in renal sections. Moreover, extensive variations of their intensities due to heterogeneity in immunohistochemistry staining are also encountered. Despite being widely recognized as a powerful descriptor for general object detection, the rectangular histogram of oriented gradients (Rectangular HOG) suffers from many false positives due to the aforementioned difficulties in the context of glomerulus detection. A new descriptor referred to as Segmental HOG is developed to perform a comprehensive detection of hundreds of glomeruli in images of whole kidney sections. The new descriptor possesses flexible blocks that can be adaptively fitted to input images to acquire robustness to deformations of glomeruli. Moreover, the novel segmentation technique employed herewith generates high quality segmentation outputs and the algorithm is assured to converge to an optimal solution. Consequently, experiments using real world image data reveal that Segmental HOG achieves significant improvements in detection performance compared to Rectangular HOG. The proposed descriptor and method for glomeruli detection present promising results and is expected to be useful in pathological evaluation.
Measurement of the top quark mass using proton-proton data at sqrt(s) = 7 and 8 TeV

description: A new set of measurements of the top quark mass are presented, based on the proton-proton data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV corresponding to a luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The top quark mass is measured using the lepton + jets, all-jets and dilepton decay channels, giving values of 172.35 +/- 0.16 (stat) +/- 0.48 (syst) GeV, 172.32 +/- 0.25 (stat) +/- 0.59 (syst) GeV, and 172.82 +/- 0.19 (stat) +/- 1.22 (syst) GeV, respectively. When combined with the published CMS results at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, they provide a top quark mass measurement of 172.44 +/- 0.13 (stat) +/- 0.47 (syst) GeV. The top quark mass is also studied as a function of the event kinematical properties in the lepton + jets decay channel. No indications of a kinematic bias are observed and the collision data are consistent with a range of predictions from current theoretical models of t t-bar production.

Development, internal and external validation of a residential care English search filter
Creators: name: Vuillème, Martin
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2021

description: Abstract Objectives: To create and validate topic search filters meant to retrieve residential care articles written in English and indexed in Pubmed and Social Care Online. Methods: A broad set of 95 English residential care structured literature reviews was selected. All studies analyzed within the reviews were manually extracted. Studies were screened for residential care data. Residential care studies were then searched in Pubmed and Social Care Online (SCO) to assess database coverage. The PubReminer tool was then used to suggest candidate search terms and MeSH for Pubmed whilst a simulator was used to build the SCO searches. Search sensitivity was assessed against the set of relevant records in Pubmed and in a simulator for SCO. Study design: Methodological study, diagnostic test study Results: A total of 1802 unique records were extracted from 89 reviews published from 2007 to 2021. 1063 (59.00%) studies were deemed to focus on residential care. Of the 1063 residential care studies analyzed within the 89 reviews 377 (35.46%) could be found on Pubmed and 383 (36.00%) on Social Care Online. 88 (8.28%) studies could be found on both Pubmed and Social Care Online. 391 (36.78%) studies could not be found on either Pubmed or SCO. 289 (27.19%) studies could be found on Pubmed only and 295 (27.75%) studies could be found on Social Care Online only. Pubmed and Social Care Online covered 63.22% of residential care studies. Four search filters were built, with sensitivities ranging from 82.22% to 95.30%. Limitations: Limitations include a geographic focus on US, EU and Australian contexts, studies mainly published between 2000 and 2021, limited use of advanced search functions and the future closure of SCO. Funding: No funding was received for this work.

The Effect of Family-Work Biases on Women's Promotions
Creators: name: Williamson, Caitlin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines the role of family-work biases in women’s promotions to upper-level
management positions. Women are proportionately represented in entry-level and
middle-management positions when compared to their male counterparts. However,
women are disproportionately underrepresented in upper-management positions despite
ever-increasing numbers of women entering the workforce. My study revealed
correlations between what men and women perceive regarding family-work biases and
how family obligations actually affect them or others they know. I discovered that
mothers, more than fathers, were perceived to have family obligations that hold them
back in the workplace; however, I found no correlation between the degree of family-work
conflicts a person experienced and whether or not he or she was promoted. In
addition, data analysis showed that women with children received fewer promotions than
women without children.

description: Despite substantial progress in cancer therapy in recent decades, patients with cancer remain at high suicide risk. Data from individual studies have not been comprehensively quantified and specific risk factors are ill-defined. We assessed suicide mortality risk according to cancer prognosis, stage, time since diagnosis, gender, ethnicity, marital status, year of recruitment and geographic region. We searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL and Google Scholar for relevant articles up to February 2021. We used a random effects model, performed meta-regression meta-analysis and assessed heterogeneity and publication bias using I², funnel plots and Egger’s and Begg’s tests. We performed a systematic review including 62 studies and 46,952,813 patients. To avoid patient sample overlap, the meta-analysis was performed on 28 studies, involving 22,407,690 patients with cancer. Suicide mortality was significantly increased compared with the general population (standardized mortality ratio = 1.85, 95% confidence interval = 1.55–2.20). Risk was strongly related to cancer prognosis, cancer stage, time since diagnosis and geographic region. Patients with cancer, particularly those with specific risk factors, should be closely monitored for suicidality and need specialized care to reduce short- and long-term risks of suicide.

description: Second semester University: Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest; Central European University, Budapest
description: There are few subjects in international law debated as much as the right to development (RTD). Known by many but recognized by few, the RTD is still seeking its position in the international fora. In the same time, UN development agencies and non-governmental organisations have started to acknowledge human rights and development as two close related issues. Moreover, World Trade Organisation (WTO), the institution that governs international trade, is accused of democratic deficit, power asymmetries and marginalization of the weaker players of the international system. This paper examines the relationship between the RTD and WTO. The first part presents the RTD as a human right and the main RTD’s principles. The second part presents the WTO as an organization focusing on developing countries participation, and demonstrates the effect of free trade rules, under WTO, on development and human rights. Finally, the last part seeks to give an answer to the question: “Is the RTD compatible with WTO?”
Malnutrition among Older Adults in the Emergency Department
Creators: name: Pereira, Gregory
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Objectives: We estimate the prevalence of malnutrition among older patients presenting to an emergency department (ED) in the southeastern United States and identify subgroups at increased risk.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with random time block sampling of cognitively intact patients aged 65 years and older. Nutrition was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (0-14 scale) with malnutrition defined as a score of 7 or less and at-risk for malnutrition defined as a score of 8-11. The presence of depressive symptoms was defined as a Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression-10 score of 4 or more (0-10 scale).
Results: Among 138 older adults, 16% (95% Confidence Interval [CI], 10%-22%) were malnourished and 60% (95% CI, 52%-69%) were either malnourished or at-risk for malnutrition. Seventeen of the 22 malnourished patients (77%) denied previously being diagnosed with malnutrition. The prevalence of malnutrition was not appreciably different between males and females, across levels of patient education, or between those living in urban and rural areas. However, the prevalence of malnutrition was higher among patients with depressive symptoms 52%, those residing in assisted living 50%, those with difficulty eating 38%, and those reporting difficulty buying groceries 33%.
Conclusion: Among a random sample of cognitively intact older ED patients, more than half were malnourished or at-risk for malnutrition, and the majority of malnourished patients had not previously been diagnosed. Higher rates of malnutrition among those with depression, difficulty eating, and difficulty buying groceries suggest the need for multifaceted interventions.

description: The effects of globalization in business, have been especially impactful in the recent years. This process contributed to a series of positive outcomes for the business sphere, such as the emergence of a solid global market, economic development or increased competition. However, this phenomenon also entailed some adverse effects. The legislative process has not kept the pace with the heightened scale of business activities, resulting in a legal void, where human rights abuses are being committed, while their perpetrators remain unpunished. Taking this in mind, it becomes clear that the European Union, as a superpower, can and must do much more. A documentary analysis was conducted, starting with the historical evolution of corporate social responsibility, followed by a review of the main documents at the European level, as well as interviews with relevant actors in the field, and finalizing with the forecast for CSR and for business and human rights. Through this research, it was possible to conclude, that the EU should go back to its initial position, as one of the front-runners in the advancement of this field, particularly by engaging actively in the negotiation process of the binding treaty on business and human rights. Finally, this dissertation has also highlighted that the pertinence of this debate, opens the opportunity for further investigation and also, how in this field, the establishment of partnerships and synergies should be prioritized.

description: The development of Educator Identity has a significant impact on well-being, motivation, productivity, and the quality of teaching. Previous research has shown that conflicting responsibilities and a challenging work environment could negatively affect the development of Clinical Educator Identity within an organization. However, there is a lack of research that identifies the factors affecting Clinical Educator Identity Formation and provides guidance on how organizations can support its development, maintenance, and advancement. To examine the phenomenology of Professional Identity Development in experienced Senior Clinical Educators in Singaporean hospitals, the study utilized an exploratory qualitative approach. The data was collected from September 2021 to May 2022 through one-to-one interviews. Four investigators analyzed the data using constant comparative analysis to identify relevant themes. Eleven senior educators revealed that personal, relational, and organizational factors influenced the development of Clinical Educator Identity. The relational aspect was a vital enabler, while organizational culture was a strong barrier. The study also identified several ways in which organizations can support Educator Identity development. The study findings provide insight into how organizations can support the development of Clinical Educator Identity. The results could aid organizations in understanding the areas where they can channel resources to support Clinical Educator Identity development.

We also calculate the observational baryon efficiency, OBE, where $M_*/M_b=M_*/(M_*+M_{HI}+M_{H_2})$ of the galaxies using their stellar mass, total neutral hydrogen mass and total molecular gas from CO luminosities. Slow-rising, Flat and Round-peaked CVC types correspond to specific OBEs, stellar and dark matter (DM) halo mass values, while the Sharp-peaked CVCs span in the whole DM halo mass range of $10^{11}-10^{14} M_{\odot}$.

I will argue that some of the EU Parliament Committee's proposed amendments impose serious restrictions that may unintentionally threaten scientific advancements in a number of areas. I will try to explain how the implementation of those amendments would make much research involving personal data at worst illegal, and at best in some cases even unworkable. The way to do this is going to be done by comparison and analyses. I will try to answer which kinds of research might be threatened and where and how to find a balance between the two human rights.

description: Second semester University: University of Graz.
description: The recent history of Bosnia and Herzegovina has had little positive notes. So far the results of the very ambiguous state building project of both USA and the EU have been mixed at best. This thesis highlights an excessive focus of international community on high politics and the accommodation of ethnic political entrepreneurs. Rather than focusing on political elites, local and international policies should look for ways to generate social capital through inter-ethnic collaboration. This thesis will discuss the concepts of social capital and argue that a long term investment into social capital is the best path to create a sustainable peace and democratic Bosnia- Herzegovina. More specifically, the thesis individuates the education sector as an agency of construction of differences by self-interested political elites. It critically discusses the separation of the education system and warns about negative effects on future generations. The thesis concludes with a note of hope. Even in deeply divided societies the “pockets” for inter-ethnic collaboration can be exploited if the end goal is to create positive peace. A small scale empirical research conducted by the author about the unification of student councils from both entities shows how young people can break the vicious circle of ethnic exclusion by working on common interests across across the ethnic divide.

description: Instant messaging systems (IMS) achieve a great success and became the main mean of communication between people via an internet. Thanks to the simplicity and quickness of the message exchanging more and more people over the world start to use instant messengers on daily basis. However, such a great attention forces us to discuss another aspect of these systems, an aspect of the information security and user privacy.
 The high attention and wide usage of the instant messaging systems in both, commercial and non-commercial ways to be a justification for selecting the subject. The subject of current thesis is entire communication structure of IMS including cryptography, protocols, data storage, means of communications.

description: Second semester University: University College Dublin - National University of Ireland, Dublin
description: By presenting an illustrative debate of the dynamics and oppositional forces that take place in the process of integration of historically and culturally marginalized groups into the mainstream society, the thesis addresses the question of how schools should deal with stereotypes, prejudices and stigmas. This question is intrinsically related with the role of education, as a vehicle that conveys the values that sustain society. In this context, we defend that an emancipatory education is an important tool in the process of integration of inferiorized and marginalized groups, critically assessing prejudices, stereotypes and stigmas. In this way, a set of naturalized discourses should be scrutinized. The aim is to build a common history in which all groups are represented without hierarchization.

description: We address the task of switching off the Hamiltonian of a system by removing all internal and system-environment couplings. We propose dynamical decoupling schemes, that use only bounded-strength controls, for quantum many-body systems with local system Hamiltonians and local environmental couplings. To do so, we introduce the combinatorial concept of balanced-cycle orthogonal arrays (BOAs) and show how to construct them from classical error-correcting codes. The derived decoupling schemes may be useful as a primitive for more complex schemes, e.g., for Hamiltonian simulation. For the case of $n$ qubits and a $2$-local Hamiltonian, the length of the resulting decoupling scheme scales as $O(n \log n)$, improving over the previously best-known schemes that scaled quadratically with $n$. More generally, using balanced-cycle orthogonal arrays constructed from families of BCH codes, we show that bounded-strength decoupling for any $\ell$-local Hamiltonian, where $\ell \geq 2$, can be achieved using decoupling schemes of length at most $O(n^{\ell-1} \log n)$.

Mesoscale NiO Platelets as Wide Bandgap Metal Oxide Films for p-type Dye Sensitized Solar Cells
Creators: name: Oh, Eun Bi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: In order to increase the photovoltage of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), a
tandem device with both a p-type photocathode and an n-type photoanode must be
developed with high efficiencies. Here, we report the synthesis, morphology, and device
performance of monodisperse ultrathin p-type NiO nanoplatelets. These platelets with
widths of ~100 nm and thicknesses less than 10 nm exhibit a high density of nanoscale
pores, which can be hierarchically structured by modifying the exact synthetic conditions.
We hypothesize that the platelets undergo fewer particle-to-particle hopping events,
which is substantiated by an increase in the effective carrier mobility by 10-fold, and
improved the overall performance of our devices by ~20-30 percent. We have developed
a method to synthesize high-quality material and currently, optimizing the devices based
upon these mesoscale p-type NiO films via targeted atomic deposition (TAD) process.
Atomic deposition at selective sites showed a 2.7-fold increase in the photoconversion
efficiency.

description: In a continuous-time market with a safe rate and a risky asset that pays a dividend stream depending on a latent state of the economy, several agents make consumption and investment decisions based on public information–prices and dividends–and private signals. If eachinvestor has constant absolute risk aversion, equilibrium prices do not reveal all the privatesignals, but lead to the same estimate of the state of the economy that one would hypothetically obtain from the knowledge of all private signals. Accurate information leads to low volatility, ostensibly improving market efficiency, but also reduces each agent’s consumption through a decrease in the price of risk. Thus, informational efficiency is reached at the expense of agents’ welfare.

description: We present the first results from the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) Network's Active Galactic Nuclei Key Project, a large program devoted to using the robotic resources of LCOGT to perform time domain studies of active galaxies. We monitored the Seyfert 1 galaxy Arp~151 (Mrk~40) for $\sim$200 days with robotic imagers and with the FLOYDS robotic spectrograph at Faulkes Telescope North. Arp~151 was highly variable during this campaign, with $V$-band light curve variations of $\sim$0.3 mag and H$β$ flux changing by a factor of $\sim$3. We measure robust time lags between the $V$-band continuum and the H$α$, H$β$ and H$γ$ emission lines, with $τ_\mathrm{cen} = 13.89^{+1.39}_{-1.41}$, 7.52$^{+1.43}_{-1.06}$ and 7.40$^{+1.50}_{-1.32}$ days, respectively. The lag for the \ion{He}{2} $\lambda4686$ emission line is unresolved. We measure a velocity-resolved lag for the H$β$ line, which is clearly asymmetric with higher lags on the blue wing of the line which decline to the red, possibly indicative of radial inflow, and is similar in morphology to past observations of the H$β$ transfer function shape. Assuming a virialization factor of $f$=5.5, we estimate a black hole mass of $M_\mathrm{BH}=6.2^{+1.4}_{-1.2}\times$10$^{6}$~$M_{\odot}$, also consistent with past measurements for this object. These results represent the first step to demonstrate the powerful robotic capabilities of LCOGT for long-term, AGN time domain campaigns that human intensive programs cannot easily accomplish. Arp 151 is now one of just a few AGN where the virial product is known to remain constant against substantial changes in H$β$ lag and luminosity.

description: By legalizing the brothels, the Dutch government was aiming to improve the position of sex workers by providing them with essential social protection and benefits. As a result of the new policy, this profession became equal to any other, therefore, there should be no difference in treatment between the sex workers and any other profession when it comes to enjoyment of human rights. This work establishes the impact of the prostitution policy of the Netherlands on the sex workers’ access to healthcare and non-discrimination in that sector. It is important to distinguish the notions of prostitution, trafficking and sexual exploitation, as voluntary sex work should not fall under the scope of trafficking or forced exploitation. This paper then looks at the international instruments regarding prostitution and the right to health, their importance and state obligations. In order to focus on the example of the Netherlands, first a brief historical introduction is given and then the current policy is discussed, which is later compared to the healthcare of sex workers before the brothels ban lift. Finally, the work provides legal background on non-discrimination in the field of healthcare and the factual data on the failure of sex workers to enjoy their right to health without discrimination.

 Ecology: —Locally common; terrestrial in disturbed humid forests forests with Weinmannia, Podocarpus rusbyi J.Buchholz & N.E.Gray, Prumnopitys exigua de Laub, and Dicksonia karsteniana (Klotzsch) T.Moore; 1900–2500 m.
 Notes: —The dark scale-centers are more clearly defined on smaller scales on the mid-petiole, while in most Polystichum species they are most visible on the largest scales at the petiolar bases. Polystichum lehmannii is similar but has smaller, duller, darker large petiolar scales, and usually fewer fimbriate scales on the rachises and costae; it is apparently not closely related. McHenry & Barrington (2014) included a specimen from Bolivia in their analysis.

description: Published articles concerning the intermediate (third) subgroup of GRBs are surveyed. From a statistical perspective this subgroup may exist, however its significance depends on which data set is used. Its astrophysical meaning is unclear because the occurrence of this subgroup can also be an artificial selection effect. Hence, GRBs from this subgroup need not be given by a physically different phenomenon. The aim of this contribution is to search for the answer to the question in the title.

description: We calculate dispersion relations for $\bar{D}(0^-)$, $\bar{D}^*(1^-)$, $\bar{D}_0^*(0^+)$ and $\bar{D}_1(1^+)$ mesons in the Dual Chiral Density Wave (DCDW) where the chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken by inhomogeneous chiral condensate. Employing the Bloch's theorem, we show that all the modes have opposite group velocity to the momentum in the low-momentum region and the energy is minimized at non-zero momentum. Furthermore, the magnitude of momentum which realizes the minimum energy is equal to the wave number of the density wave.

Natural rights vs. human rights : a philosophical investigation of the concept of human rights

description: Second semester University: Masaryk University, Brno
description: This thesis is a philosophical survey of the universality of Human Rights and of the foundation of the rights. I will start by outlining the philosophical problems Jack Donnelly runs into when he writes about the philosophical foundations of Human Rights. It turns out that Donnelly uses a different definition of ‘universality’ and ‘right’ than is normally used. I will therefore turn to Locke, who explains about natural rights, which are innate and inalienable for people, inside and outside of society. Lockean libertarianism builds on Locke’s theory about negative freedom as an innate right. I will explain this theory and what kind of society it leads to. The theory is philosophically founded in natural rights as being universal. It therefore lives up to my criteria for a philosophical theory. At the same time though it differs in its fundamental principles from Donnelly’s theory of Human Rights, which I find intuitively appealing. I therefore turn to other defenders for Human Rights to see if their arguments are stronger than Donnelly’s. Here I find that if Human Rights are argued for politically instead of philosophically they can be defended. Therefore my conclusion is that Human Rights do not need the philosophical veil Donnelly gives them. Human Rights have good political consequences. This should be stressed instead of turning them into a weak philosophical theory. My methodology throughout my thesis is philosophical analysis.
