title: Hate Speech vs. Meinungsfreiheit und der Rabat Plan of Action
Creators: name: Geiß, Alexander
Publisher: name: Hochschule Hannover
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: 300 Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie

description: Hate Speech hat im Zeitalter des Web 2.0 eine neue Dimension und Dynamik angenommen. Der Wunsch nach Regulierung ist moralisch begründbar und erste Staaten haben bereits reagiert. Dabei sind die Verfechter der freien Rede tief gespalten. Wo endet das Recht auf freie Meinungsäußerung und wann sollte Hassrede strafbar sein? Die Vereinten Nationen liefern mit dem Rabat Plan of Action eine Hilfestellung für eine qualifizierte Entscheidung. In dieser Studienarbeit werden die Gefahren der Hate Speech und damit die Chancen ihrer Regulierung wie auch deren Risiken aus ethischer Sicht erörtert und die Bedeutung des Rabat Threshold Test vor diesem Hintergrund beleuchtet; ehe sie mit einer persönlichen Stellungnahme schließt.

description: In this paper we prove instances of the cyclic sieving phenomenon for finite Grassmannians and partial flag varieties, which carry the action of various tori in the finite general linear group GL_n(F_q). The polynomials involved are sums of certain weights of the minimal length parabolic coset representatives of the symmetric group S_n, where the weight of a coset representative can be written as a product over its inversions.

description: Context. Theoretical predictions from models of red giant branch stars are a valuable tool for various applications in astrophysics ranging from galactic chemical evolution to studies of exoplanetary systems. Aims. We use the radiative transfer code OPTIM3D and realistic 3D radiative-hydrodynamical (RHD) surface convection simulations of red giants to explore the impact of granulation on interferometric observables. Methods. We compute intensity maps for the 3D simulation snapshots in two filters: in the optical at 5000 \pm 300 Å and in the K band 2.14 $\pm$ 0.26 μm FLUOR filter, corresponding to the wavelength-range of instruments mounted on the CHARA interferometer. From the intensity maps, we construct images of the stellar disks, accounting for center-to-limb variations. We then derive interferometric visibility amplitudes and phases. We study their behavior with position angle and wavelength. Results. We provide average limb-darkening coefficients for different metallicities and wavelength-ranges. We detail the prospects for the detection and characterization of granulation and center-to-limb variations of red giant stars with today's interferometers. We find that the effect of convective-related surface structures depends on metallicity and surface gravity. We provided theoretical closure phases that should be incorporated into the analysis of red giant planet companion closure phase signals. We estimate 3D-1D corrections to stellar radii determination: 3D models are ~ 3.5% smaller to ~ 1% larger in the optical with respect to 1D, and roughly 0.5 to 1.5% smaller in the infrared. Even if these corrections are small, they are important to properly set the zero point of effective temperature scale derived by interferometry and to strengthen the confidence of existing red giant catalogues of calibrating stars for interferometry.

The site where these specimens were collected is near the locality where the paratype male was taken. Four females were also collected which may represent this species, however because males identified as A. guambiana, A. socapa and as an intermediate of these two species were also in this sample, no definite association is possible.

Year: 1874

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Motivated by a recent experiment, the distribution of electric dipole strength in the neutron-rich 68Ni isotope was computed using a relativistic random phase approximation with a set of effective interactions that - although well calibrated - predict significantly different values for the neutron-skin thickness in 208Pb. The emergence of low-energy "Pygmy" strength that exhausts about 5-8% of the energy weighted sum rule (EWSR) is clearly identified. In addition to the EWSR, special emphasis is placed on the dipole polarizability. In particular, our results suggest a strong correlation between the dipole polarizability of 68Ni and the neutron-skin thickness of 208Pb. Yet we find a correlation just as strong and an even larger sensitivity between the neutron-skin thickness of 208Pb and the fraction of the dipole polarizability exhausted by the Pygmy resonance. These findings suggest that the dipole polarizability may be used as a proxy for the neutron skin.

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of an Halpha emission line component originating close to the white dwarf primary in the post-common-envelope binary (PCEB) LTT 560, we have undertaken a spectroscopic snapshot survey on 11 short-period (P_orb < 6 h) PCEBs using FORS2. We have found multi-component Halpha emission line profiles in six of our targets, indicating that multiple Halpha emission sites are rather common in short-period PCEBs. The underlying physical mechanisms, however, can be fundamentally different. In our sample we find one system where the extracted radial velocities of two identified components indicate that both originate in the late-type secondary star, where one is caused by irradiation from the hot white dwarf primary and the other by stellar activity. Another object presents two components that are located on opposite sides of the centre-of-mass, suggesting a case similar to LTT 560, i.e. that accretion of stellar wind from the secondary star produces Halpha emission on, or close to, the white dwarf.

description: This multi-case analysis of instructors in self-governed Aboriginal post-secondary institution illustrates ways that Aboriginal culture and Indigenous knowledge can be integrated into formal education. Documents such as government inquiries complement instructors’ contributions. The work is intended to support all educators in increasing the quantity and quality of Indigenous knowledge and culture in their own practice for the benefit of all students and as a strategy for improving outcomes for Aboriginal learners. Recommendations for effective integration of Indigenous knowledge and culture at the individual educator level are provided. Within this inquiry into individual pedagogical practice larger structural factors emerged and as such recommendations include suggestions for improving teacher education and increasing Aboriginal participation in educational governance recommendations.

description: Dengue is one of the major international public health concerns. Although progress is underway, developing a vaccine against the disease is challenging. Thus, the main approach to fight the disease is vector control. A model for the transmission of Dengue disease is presented. It consists of eight mutually exclusive compartments representing the human and vector dynamics. It also includes a control parameter (insecticide) in order to fight the mosquito. The model presents three possible equilibria: two disease-free equilibria (DFE) and another endemic equilibrium. It has been proved that a DFE is locally asymptotically stable, whenever a certain epidemiological threshold, known as the basic reproduction number, is less than one. We show that if we apply a minimum level of insecticide, it is possible to maintain the basic reproduction number below unity. A case study, using data of the outbreak that occurred in 2009 in Cape Verde, is presented.

Results are obtained via the structure function approach, which builds upon the approximate, though very accurate, factorization of the QCD corrections between the two quark lines. The theoretical uncertainty on the total cross sections at the LHC from higher order corrections and the parton distribution uncertainties are estimated at the 2% level each for a wide range of Higgs boson masses.

description: The integration of circular economy (CE) models into everyday contexts generates huge amount of data involved in goods tracking and tokenization procedures. The sector of blockchain platforms is extremely varied, and the choice of the proper technology is not easy. It is important that the selection is conducted consistently with respect to the CE models. With this study, we present a performance index named Blockchain Circular Economy Index (BCEI). BCEI, obtained through Multicriteria Decision Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process, aims to measure the suitability of blockchain platforms to the needs highlighted by a CE scenario. The present study is contextualized by comparing six blockchain platforms, for each of which, the related BCEI is calculated. The results of the analysis show that transaction fee and energy consumption are the two most critical parameters. In addition, the results show the lack of a leading blockchain technology in CE models. Thus, there is a market space that can be exploited given the growing interest in digital and sustainable issues.

Ordering of small particles in one-dimensional coherent structures by time-periodic flows

description: Small particles transported by a fluid medium do not necessarily have to follow the flow. We show that for a wide class of time-periodic incompressible flows inertial particles have a tendency to spontaneously align in one-dimensional dynamic coherent structures. This effect may take place for particles so small that often they would be expected to behave as passive tracers and be used in PIV measurement technique. We link the particle tendency to form one-dimensional structures to the nonlinear phenomenon of phase locking. We propose that this general mechanism is, in particular, responsible for the enigmatic formation of the `particle accumulation structures' discovered experimentally in thermocapillary flows more than a decade ago and unexplained until now.
Post-traumatic stress and American veterans
Creators: name: Hannon, Gregory M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This capstone project examined the significance contributions of war literate towards bringing public awareness to, and helping to alleviate, the condition among some veterans that is commonly referred to as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).  PTSD (also referred to as Post Traumatic Stress Injury – PTSI) is generally defined as a mental health condition that develops after a person is exposed to a traumatic event, such as sexual assault or warfare.  Throughout history, men and women who have suffered through the horrors of battle have often times struggled with an invisible wound via a misunderstood affliction caused by severe tragedy, shock, and trauma through their combat experiences.  In American history, military leaders and mental health advocates have endeavored to define this condition.  In the US Civil War, the condition was referred to as Soldiers Heart.  In the aftermath of World War I, it was deemed Shell Shock.  During World War II, the affliction was termed Battle Fatigue.  This project will examine the contributions of great war novelists such as Ernst Hemingway, Kurt Vonnegut, Kevin Powers, and others who through their gift of prose have helped to cultivate public awareness to the condition.  The project will frame specific examples of PTSD/PTSI in their works, and how intricately the author’s own wartime and life experiences were reflected in the written page and through their characters.  The paper will finish with inquiring whether or not there is therapeutic value in the power of art and the healing power of literature itself.  Through electronic journal articles, books, and other source material, I have compiled extensive information on the topic at hand. As a retired Air Force officer and pilot, my experiences have augmented my presentation of this topic and the material at hand.
Global networks, local reels : youth media and civic engagement in transnational settings
Creators: name: Hauge, Chelsey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Scholarship concerning youth, participation and media tends to celebrate the liberatory potential of both local and global youth engagement with networked technologies produced by the exponential rise in access to participatory media (Lesko & Talburt, 2012; MacIntosh, Poyntz, & Bryson, 2012). However, celebratory accounts of youth and media foreclose on the possibilities that research practices might document the multiple actualities and outcomes pertinent to an assessment of both: a) how young people navigate social justice and social media and b) what is produced in these landscapes of mediatic labour and relationality. This multi-sited qualitative research addresses this analytical gap by documenting the transnational relationships that shape youth engagements with media technology and by carrying out an analysis of the conditions of possibility for international youth who produce media in the context of an international youth media program in Nicaragua. The youth media program, jointly facilitated by Amigos de las Américas and a major international development agency, works at the intersection of youth leadership, civic engagement, and media production. Analysis of ethnographic data suggests that liberation discourses surrounding media technology, civic engagement, and youth are linked to the modernist belief that the amplification of public voice will facilitate political justice. The assumed foundation where capacity is defined as agency, empowerment, or voice actually functions to further marginalize populations who have been historically silenced, and facilitates the expansion of neoliberal relationality. Modernist development norms and post-feminist sensibilities contribute to the assemblage of complex pedagogical spaces that animate and inform my cautionary analysis regarding marginalization, power, and the limits of pedagogical interventions and liberation discourses. This research advances knowledge concerning youth media production as it has typically been imagined within modernist discourses about education, development, and “change,” by means of its re-conceptualization of agency through a “critical mobilities” framework that more fully attends to the complex and affective relationalities produced, sustained, and interrupted in youth media production.

description: Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye, which spans sources of nutrients with its protoplasmic network. In a very simple experimental setup we recorded electric potential of the propagating plasmodium. We discovered a complex interplay of short range oscillatory behaviour combined with long range, low frequency oscillations which serve to communicate information between different parts of the plasmodium. The plasmodium's response to changing environmental conditions forms basis patterns of electric activity, which are unique indicators of the following events: plasmodium occupies a site, plasmodium functions normally, plasmodium becomes `agitated' due to drying substrate, plasmodium departs a site, and plasmodium forms sclerotium. Using a collective particle approximation of Physarum polycephalum we found matching correlates of electrical potential in computational simulations by measuring local population flux at the node positions, generating trains of high and low frequency oscillatory behaviour. Motifs present in these measurements matched the response `grammar' of the plasmodium when encountering new nodes, simulated consumption of nutrients, exposure to simulated hazardous illumination and sclerotium formation. The distributed computation of the particle collective was able to calculate beneficial network structures and sclerotium position by shifting the active growth zone of the simulated plasmodium. The results show future promise for the non-invasive study of the complex dynamical behaviour within --- and health status of --- living systems.

description: This paper gives a momentum-space representation of the Argonne V18 potential as an expansion in products of spin-isospin operators with scalar coefficient functions of the momentum transfer. Two representations of the scalar coefficient functions for the strong part of the interaction are given. One is as an expansion in an orthonormal basis of rational functions and the other as an expansion in Chebyshev polynomials on different intervals. Both provide practical and efficient representations for computing the momentum-space potential that do not require integration or interpolation. Programs based on both expansions are available as supplementary material. Analytic expressions are given for the scalar coefficient functions of the Fourier transform of the electromagnetic part of the Argonne V18. A simple method for computing the partial-wave projections of these interactions from the operator expressions is also given.

description: NGC 2915 is a nearby blue compact dwarf with a differentially rotating HI disc extending out to ~ 5 R-band R_{25} radii. This disc serves as an ideal tracer of the system's gravitational potential in regions of the galaxy that are dominated by dark matter. We use new HI synthesis observations of NGC 2915, obtained with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, to search for non-circular flows within the outer HI disc. Two independent methods are used, and the results of each interpreted in the context of relevant axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric perturbations of the potential. We find evidence for: (1) elliptical streaming associated with the spiral structure of the HI disc and the central bar-like feature in the mass distribution, (2) a spherical dark matter halo, and (3) an axisymmetric radial outflow of ~ 5-17 km/s (~ 6-20 percent of the circular speed). A possible bar-like perturbation of the potential hinders attempts to unambiguously detect kinematic signatures of radial flows in the HI velocity field. The radial outflows are inconsistent with the plausible disc formation scenario in which gas from the surrounding inter-galactic medium is deposited on the outer HI disc and then transported towards the centre of the galaxy. They are, however, consistent with the possibility of some material being re-distributed towards the outer disc in order to conserve angular momentum as material flows inwards along a bar.

Energy Dissipation Via Coupling With a Finite Chaotic Environment

description: We study the flow of energy between a harmonic oscillator (HO) and an external environment consisting of N two-degrees of freedom non-linear oscillators, ranging from integrable to chaotic according to a control parameter. The coupling between the HO and the environment is bilinear in the coordinates and scales with system size with the inverse square root of N. We study the conditions for energy dissipation and thermalization as a function of N and of the dynamical regime of the non-linear oscillators. The study is classical and based on single realization of the dynamics, as opposed to ensemble averages over many realizations. We find that dissipation occurs in the chaotic regime for a fairly small N, leading to the thermalization of the HO and environment a Boltzmann distribution of energies for a well defined temperature. We develop a simple analytical treatment, based on the linear response theory, that justifies the coupling scaling and reproduces the numerical simulations when the environment is in the chaotic regime.

description: We construct examples of $K3$ surfaces of geometric Picard rank $1$. Our method is a refinement of that of R. van Luijk. It is based on an analysis of the Galois module structure on étale cohomology. This allows to abandon the original limitation to cases of Picard rank $2$ after reduction modulo $p$. Furthermore, the use of Galois data enables us to construct examples which require significantly less computation time.

description: In this paper we present the analytic solutions for two test problems involving two-fluid mixtures of dust and gas in an astrophysical context. The solutions provide a means of benchmarking numerical codes designed to simulate the non-linear dynamics of dusty gas. The first problem, dustybox, consists of two interpenetrating homogeneous fluids moving with relative velocity difference. We provide exact solutions to the full non-linear problem for a range of drag formulations appropriate to astrophysical fluids (i.e., various prescriptions for Epstein and Stokes drag in different regimes). The second problem, dustywave consists of the propagation of linear acoustic waves in a two-fluid gas-dust mixture. We provide the analytic solution for the case when the two fluids are interacting via a linear drag term. Both test problems are simple to set up in any numerical code and can be run with periodic boundary conditions. The solutions we derive are completely general with respect to both the dust-to-gas ratio and the amplitude of the drag coefficient. A stability analysis of waves in a gas-dust system is also presented, showing that sound waves in an astrophysical dust-gas mixture are linearly stable.

Development of a nanoparticulate formulation of docetaxel for the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Creators: name: Pandey, Rakhi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Approximately 70-85% of bladder cancer patients present with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). These patients are usually treated by surgical resection of bladder tumours followed by the intravesical administration of anticancer drugs such as mitomycin C (MMC), doxorubicin or gemcitabine. However the recurrence rate after 5 years remains high (70%) so that the development of more effective chemotherapeutic strategies is essential. We have previously shown that hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂) nanoparticulate carriers of docetaxel (DTX) offered an improved and effective formulation of the drug for intravesical delivery in mice. The present work describes the effect of concentration and exposure times of three HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂’s with increasing degrees of amineation on ex vivo porcine bladder tissue morphology and the tissue depth uptake of DTX. The results demonstrated the exfoliation of porcine bladder tissues in a time and concentration-dependent manner. Exfoliation and DTX uptake was significantly enhanced upon treatment with medium or high-density HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂’s, as compared to a commercially available DTX/polysorbate 80 formulation. Further studies on the local effect of the chemotherapeutic agents MMC, doxorubicin and gemcitabine, on ex vivo porcine bladder tissue showed that these drugs all caused exfoliation of urothelium and were well taken up by the bladder tissue with no additional effect of HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂ pre-treatment. The exfoliating effect of these three drugs was shown to enhance the bladder tissue uptake of paclitaxel (PTX) or DTX when the bladder was exposed to combinations of taxanes with either MMC, doxorubicin or gemcitabine. Generally, the exfoliation effect of HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂’s, MMC, doxorubicin and gemcitabine is attributed to an interaction of the positively charged amine groups on all these agents with the negatively charged mucosal surface. This binding may modulate tight junction protein function followed by exfoliation of the protective urothelial layer so that drugs may penetrate the exposed underlying tissue. In conclusion this thesis supports a novel role of DTX loaded-HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂ nanoparticles as an improved drug delivery vehicle for the potential chemotherapeutic treatment of bladder cancer. Additionally, data suggests promising strategies for intravesical combination drug therapies, to enhance the uptake of taxanes with potential additive therapeutic effects for improved efficacy in the treatment of NMIBC.
Jets and flow within a pQCD-based partonic transport model

description: We present fully dynamic simulations of heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies within the perturbative QCD-based partonic transport model BAMPS, focusing on the simultaneous investigation of jet-quenching and elliptic flow. The model consistently features elastic and inelastic 2 -> 3 processes, the latter being based on the Gunion-Bertsch matrix element. We discuss first attempts to extend the model to include light quark degrees of freedom and study the energy loss of high energy gluons and quarks in a static partonic medium. The difference between gluons and quarks in inelastic processes is found to be weaker than expected from color factors, due to a self-quenching effect associated with a cut-off modeling the LPM effect.

description: We numerically study quantum magnetism of ultra-cold alkali and alkaline-earth fermion systems with large hyperfine spin $F=3/2$, which are characterized by a generic $Sp(N)$ symmetry with N=4. The methods of exact diagonalization (ED) and density-matrix-renormalization-group are employed for the large size one-dimensional (1D) systems, and ED is applied to a two-dimensional (2D) square lattice on small sizes. We focus on the magnetic exchange models in the Mott-insulating state at quarter-filling. Both 1D and 2D systems exhibit rich phase diagrams depending on the ratio between the spin exchanges $J_0$ and $J_2$ in the bond spin singlet and quintet channels, respectively. In 1D, the ground states exhibit a long-range-ordered dimerization with a finite spin gap at $J_0/J_2>1$, and a gapless spin liquid state at $J_0/J_2 \le 1$, respectively. In the former and latter cases, the correlation functions exhibit the two-site and four-site periodicities, respectively. In 2D, various spin correlation functions are calculated up to the size of $4\times 4$. The Neel-type spin correlation dominates at large values of $J_0/J_2$, while a $2\times 2$ plaquette correlation is prominent at small values of this ratio. Between them, a columnar spin-Peierls dimerization correlation peaks. We infer the competitions among the plaquette ordering, the dimer ordering, and the Neel ordering in the 2D system.
