Tribalism and Cultural Discontent in the Middle East
Creators: name: Esmailzadeh, Yaser
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 440899
subject: Political science not elsewhere classified

description: The Middle East has long been characterized by political instability, violent conflicts, and cultural tensions. In recent years, the re-emergence of tribalism has further contributed to the deterioration of peace in the region. This essay investigates the influence of tribalism on cultural discontent and violence in the Middle East, arguing that it reinforces identity politics, exacerbates sectarianism, and undermines democratic values. These factors, in turn, fuel conflicts and hinder peace-building endeavors. The essay explores specific instances where tribalism has escalated violence, emphasizing the challenges of addressing its root causes. For a comprehensive understanding, there is a need to examine historical and contemporary factors that contribute to tribalism's growth and persistence. The complex interplay between tribalism and other socio-political dynamics highlights how these interactions exacerbate regional instability. The essay concludes by advocating for increased attention to cultural aspects of conflict and the necessity for more effective strategies to foster intercultural dialogue and understanding in the region.

title: A provably stable approach to solving the anisotropic diffusion equation in magnetic fields
Creators: name: Muir, Dean
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, we derive a provably stable numerical method for solving the anisotropic diffusion equation in magnetic fields. Specifically, we are interested in an approach suitable for problems in magnetic confinement fusion scenarios, where the equation is often used to model the temperature; in these settings, fast scale diffusion along the magnetic field lines is orders of magnitude higher than the diffusion across them. Confinement fusion devices require temperatures of millions of degrees centigrade to operate efficiently. Modelling temperature is therefore crucial, in order for devices to be designed such that they are not damaged by direct interaction with the plasma. Chaotic magnetic fields make it difficult to build a grid which conforms to them; therefore numerical techniques are required that allow for non-conforming grids to still accurately solve the equation. The equation can be written in a form where the fast scale parallel and slow scale perpendicular components are isolated, so efficient solvers can be applied to the two terms. For the slow scale diffusion, the \ac{sbp} finite difference operators, which mimic integration by parts discretely, are used to discretise the perpendicular diffusion, and boundary conditions are enforced weakly using so-called \ac{sat}. We introduce a unique penalty approach for enforcing the fast scale diffusion along magnetic field lines, which is constructed by field line tracing. This penalises the solution to the equation based on the misalignment of the grid with the magnetic field. Our approach to constructing the method is systematic. First, we explore the method using a model one dimensional problem, and then we introduce the two dimensional problem in Cartesian geometry. Finally, we extend the two dimensional method to curvilinear geometry, which will allow us to extend the methods to domains more relevant to confinement fusion. At each stage we prove the stability of our semi-discrete scheme by matching the energy estimates for the continuous problem. We also show unconditional stability for the fully discrete scheme. Numerical tests are presented which validate the convergence of the scheme in each case; experiments show the method has promise for the more complicated geometries involved in confinement fusion devices. We conclude by outlining the extensions of the method derived in this thesis, including the extension to geometries relevant to confinement fusion and other potential future work.
Application of Data Science in Health Economics

description: This dissertation consists of three papers which explore data science techniques to address issues in the field of health economics. The first paper, provides a novel investigation into the effectiveness of new and scalable machine learning models, LightGBM and XGBoost, to predict individual health care expenditures. In this paper, I find LightGBM and XGBoost outperform linear models, in terms of out-of-sample R2, by 5% to 8%. The paper also explores welfare implications in the insurance market resulting from widespread use of big data and scalable machine learning models by insurance providers.
description: In paper 2, I study the heterogeneous effects of having a physical limitation on mental health across individuals in different income brackets. Results indicate that the negative effect of having a physical limitation on metal health is highest among individuals in the bottom 20% of the income distribution. Results from panel data analysis indicate that an increase in income has a greater positive impact on mental health among individuals with a physical limitation compared to the effect observed among individuals without a physical limitation.
description: In paper 3, I estimate the causal effects of being enrolled in medicaid on mental and financial well being across individuals with and without pre-existing conditions such as asthma, diabetes, heart condition, high cholesterol and cancer. In other words, I compare the bene- fits observed among individuals with pre-existing to the benefits observed among individuals without pre-existing condition using data from Oregon Medicaid Lottery. My results indicate that on average, across different measures of mental and financial health, benefits from medicaid observed among individuals with pre-existing conditions were lower or similar to the benefits observed among individuals without pre-existing conditions. On two key measures, undiagnosed depression and catastrophic health expenditures, the benefit from enrolling in medicaid was lower, statistically significant at the 90% confidence level, among individuals with a pre-existing condition compared to the benefits observed among individuals without a pre-existing condition.

description: As quantum computers advance, the complexity of the software they can execute increases as well. To ensure this software is efficient, maintainable, reusable, and cost-effective -key qualities of any industry-grade software-mature software engineering practices must be applied throughout its design, development, and operation. However, the significant differences between classical and quantum software make it challenging to directly apply classical software engineering methods to quantum systems. This challenge has led to the emergence of Quantum Software Engineering as a distinct field within the broader software engineering landscape. In this work, a group of active researchers analyse in depth the current state of quantum software engineering research. From this analysis, the key areas of quantum software engineering are identified and explored in order to determine the most relevant open challenges that should be addressed in the next years. These challenges help identify necessary breakthroughs and future research directions for advancing Quantum Software Engineering.

description: This study examines the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in optimizing supply chain management for infrastructure development in Rwanda. Using a qualitative methodology, secondary data from government reports and case studies of PPP projects (2010–2014) were analyzed through thematic and statistical methods. Results highlight that Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) models significantly enhance efficiency (χ²(3)=28.4, p<0.001). While PPPs contributed 14.9% to GDP and created 90,000 jobs during the study period, challenges such as regulatory hurdles (OR=2.5, p=0.02) and limited private sector expertise (OR=1.8, p=0.04) persist. Kigali-based projects demonstrated superior performance (F(4,45)=12.7, p<0.001), showcasing the benefits of advanced logistics and technology adoption. Recommendations include strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing private sector capacity, and scaling Kigali's best practices to other regions. Addressing these areas will enhance the sustainability and efficiency of PPP-driven infrastructure projects in Rwanda.

Figs 2D, 6H–J
Quedius (Microsaurus) piceolineatus Scheerpeltz, 1965: 284.
Diagnosis
Within the Masasatoi group, Q. piceolineatus can be recognized by the pale yellow-orange body and medial darkening on the sutural area of the elytra (Fig. 2D). It is most similar to Q. masasatoi but the latter species is darker, bicolored reddish to orange-yellow and dark-brown (Fig. 5F), with darkened parts of the abdominal tergites. Additionally, the median lobe in ventral view and paramere of Q. masasatoi (Fig. 6K, M) are distinctly more slender than those of Q. piceolineatus (Fig. 6H, J) and the apex of the median lobe in lateral view is broader in Q. masasatoi (Fig. 6L). Quedius masatakai is entirely dark bodied and easily distinguished from pale Q. piceolineatus.

Redescription
Rather similar to Q. masasatoi (description in Smetana 2007; supplemented by Smetana 2012a) and differing in the following: paler areas of the body in general lighter, brownish-yellow, abdominal tergites entirely pale; antennomeres 7–10 slightly less transverse but still wider than long; tergites III–IV with median impunctate area; male tergite X very similar but with slightly and minutely emarginate apex; male sternite IX similar but with expanded middle part more symmetrical and elongate basal part shorter and less elongate; median lobe in ventral view shorter and broader, pair of median teeth slightly farther apart (Fig. 6H), median lobe in lateral view more strongly narrowed at apex (Fig. 6I); paramere shorter and more strongly narrowed to apex, which is more rounded, setae on underside in slightly different arrangement (Fig. 6J).
Female
Unknown.
Distribution
Known only from the type locality in Myanmar (Kachin).
Bionomics
Nothing is known about the natural history of this species but the holotype has two deutonymphs of a uropodine mite attached to the pronotum (Fig. 2D).
Remarks
Based on the rather similar male genitalia, slightly emarginate tergite VIII and overall habitus (Fig. 6H– M), Q. piceolineatus is probably the sister species of Q. masasatoi.

Cause and Effect of Marketing Order Terminations

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Marketing Orders
Terminations

description: Marketing orders were originally developed during the Great Depression to help small farmers by giving them better control of the market. As the only government approved cartels in the US, we would expect to see more of them; however, we see less. Considering the potential benefits, we set out to determine why these orders might be terminating and what happens when they do. In the first paper, we created a novel dataset on marketing order characteristics to determine what could be impacting individual terminations between 1974 – 2019. Using survival models, we find that having a corresponding marketing agreement and more profitable production led to a lower probability of termination while age led to a higher probability. If a marketing order wants to ensure its survival, it needs to have full community involvement and remain profitable.
description: In the second paper, we considered the total prevalence of marketing orders instead of individual survivability. Since agricultural has changed dramatically since the origination of marketing orders, we wanted to consider some of the market and cultural changes that have happened over the last few decades. We found higher family labor levels led to more active marketing orders while farm growth and productivity led to fewer active marketing orders. While we were able to verify small family farms benefited, marketing orders will need to adapt, or their usefulness will continue to decline.
description: In the third paper, we considered the general equilibrium effects if a marketing order were to terminate or lose their supply control. Using data from California in 2013, we estimated a 13-sector computable general equilibrium model when the raisin marketing order lost their supply control. As expected, raisin output increased which was followed by a reduction in price. While the output value was increased for raisins, fruit, forestry, and mining, the remaining sectors lost. At the same time, households benefited with small changes, but the benefit was declining for those in higher income brackets. While terminating supply controls benefited some, it hurt all.

description: Subgenus Raphirus Stephens, 1833
In its current composition, subgenus Quedius (Raphirus) is highly polyphyletic and it is not possible to provide a useful diagnosis. Currently, it is more practical to work with species groups until a generic revision of the Raphirus lineage is completed.
Muscicola group, sensu nov.
The Muscicola group of Quedius (Raphirus) as defined here is equivalent to ‘Clade W’ recovered by the phylogenomic analyses of Brunke et al. (2021). Its members can be recognized by the following combination of characters: head with single basal puncture; eyes large and occupying most of the lateral side of head; antennomere 2 shorter than to about as long as 3; scutellum punctate. Recently, the mainland Chinese species of this group (= part of subclade W1 of Brunke et al. 2021) were treated together with Q. microsauroides Smetana, 2008 (Smetana 2017a) as the Muscicola group. However, Q. microsauroides probably belongs to Clade X of Brunke et al. (2021) as it has an impunctate scutellum and much different habitus.

description: Trapped ions are a promising platform for large-scale quantum computation, however, they are limited by the speed and fidelity of two-qubit gates. All experimental two-qubit gates rely on adiabatic protocols, which do not scale well in multi-ion systems. Two-qubit ‘fast gates’ based on ultra-fast laser pulses are an alternative approach that bypasses the speed and scaling limitations of adiabatic gates in multi-ion systems, offering faster and larger computations. Unfortunately, fast gates are technologically limited by available laser power and control which motivates the need for error-robust gate design. Furthermore, existing fast gate protocols are only efficient for gates between neighbouring ions. This induces a significant overhead of additional gates needed to perform non-local operations which scales poorly for large systems of hundreds of ions required in computations. Therefore, while fast gates outperform current adiabatic and shuttling protocols, the limitation to nearest-neighbour operations introduces a bottleneck in achievable computation speeds. This thesis provides an alternative pathway to scalable trapped-ion quantum computing using highly connected fast gates in long ion chains. I develop a new scheme that removes artificial constraints in previous work to enable the machine design of fast gates in scalable geometries under experimentally realistic conditions. I find that this scheme is capable of designing gates that achieve higher fidelities (> 99%) with fewer pulses (< 100) in 1D quasi-uniform chains. Furthermore, I demonstrate that this scheme can be used to design gates between non-neighbouring ions with similar numbers of pulses on timescales comparable to the ion motion in arbitrarily large ion chains. This overcomes the nearest-neighbour limitation faced by current fast gate protocols and predicts close to two orders of magnitude speed up in achievable gate times compared to current experimental gates.

description: The perinatal period and its accompanying physiological and psychosocial shifts confer heightened susceptibility to mental health problems. Research on the risks of maternal trauma-related distress on parental functioning and offspring social-emotional development indicate less-adaptive parenting cognitions and behaviors (e.g., distorted or negative appraisals of the infant, avoidance of relating with the infant), more challenging infant temperament characteristics, and attachment difficulties in the context of maternal posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Such findings are of increased relevance with women of childbearing age occupying more military positions than ever and considerably higher rates of PTSD in veteran than civilian women.
description: In this study, observed-variable path analysis was used to examine effects of perinatal PTSD symptoms on maternal-infant functioning in a sample of perinatal veteran women (N=28), with focus on parenting cognitions and behaviors, infant temperament, and maternal perceptions of mother-infant bonding. Hypotheses were supported insofar as prenatal PTSD symptoms predicted postpartum rigid maternal beliefs, with rigid maternal beliefs predicting bonding problems, constituting a possible full-mediation scenario. Pre-mentalizing, a facet of parental reflective functioning (i.e., appraisal of the infant as a separate psychological agent) comprising presumptive/intrusive parenting behavior and shown as maladaptive for attachment development, predicted bonding problems and moderated the second-stage mediation path such that PTSD symptoms predicted greater bonding impairment at high pre-mentalizing. Conditional indirect effects indicated that PTSD symptoms predicted fewer bonding problems through rigid maternal beliefs at a high level of pre-mentalizing. Results were inconclusive regarding roles of infant temperament in buffering or exacerbating effects of PTSD on bonding quality, perhaps related to low variability in scores.
description: Results suggest cognitive rigidity and distortions often presenting in PTSD translate to maternal functioning, with implications for the parent-child relationship. Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and parent-guidance programs targeting maladaptive parenting beliefs and behavior are expected to be useful with appropriate postpartum screening and referrals. Follow-up analysis of linear models embedded in the broader path model would enhance interpretive clarity and a larger sample would improve reproducibility and generalizability. Clinically meaningful symptom changes from prenatal to postpartum assessment, individual symptom profiles, and types of trauma experienced, as well as comparison with civilian women, warrant further examination.

description: The status of ‘ Goniopholis ’ phuwiangensis Buffetaut & Ingavat, 1983
‘ Goniopholis ’ phuwiangensis Buffetaut & Ingavat, 1983 consists of an incomplete dentary (Fig. 17) and is considered by some as belonging to the genus Sunosuchus Young, 1948 or could be conspecific with Siamosuchus (Lauprasert 2006, Lauprasert et al. 2007, de Andrade et al. 2011, Puértolas-Pascual et al. 2015). This taxon is diagnosed on a fragment of dentary, by the following characters: dentary symphysis reaching the level of the sixth alveoli (i.e. five alveoli completely included); no marked angulation of the lower tooth row in its anterior part; no strong outward projection of the lateral rims of the third and fourth dentary alveoli; and an alveolar edge strongly undulated in lateral view (Fig. 17). Although the specimen diagnosing ‘ Goniopholis ’ phuwiangensis is larger than the new specimens from Phu Sung, all those characters are also shared by SM-2021-1-97/101 (Supplementary Model S2). However, we argue that those characters are also identified in other neosuchians: for example, in Goniopholis baryglyphaeus Schwarz, 2003, the dentary referred to Goniopholididae (AR-1-3423) by Buscalioni et al. (2013), or Leidyosuchus sp. (Farke et al. 2014). As such, they are not truly diagnostic, and we thus consider ‘ Goniopholis ’ phuwiangensis as a nomen dubium. The holotype of ‘ Goniopholis ’ phuwiangensis could instead be referred to Varanosuchus sakonnakhonensis, but given its incompleteness, we would rather wait for further material to assess its belonging.

title: Designing Resilient Parallel Multigrid Methods on Unstructured Adaptive Meshes
Creators: name: Fung, Frederick
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, we develop a class of fault-tolerant geometric multigrid method to address the loss of numerical data on faulty processors. Prior studies of fault-tolerant multigrid methods have focused on structured grids. In this research, the challenge lies in the fact that unstructured grids distributed across multiple processors may manifest as local hierarchical grids with unaligned boundaries. This unalignment can cause divergence in the local multigrid recovery process. We address the recovery convergence issue from two distinct angles. Firstly, we adjust the local hierarchical grids to align their boundaries. This approach reduces the problem to the standard multigrid situation, hence yields the convergence. The second approach takes the local unaligned grids as they are, and propose a novel algorithm that modifies the multigrid V-cycle algorithm based on energy control criterion. We prove the convergence of the new algorithm by using smoothing and approximation properties defined in nonnested subspaces. Additionally, we introduce a near-boundary treatment and a local energy criterion to improve the convergence rate and shorten the runtime of local recovery, respectively. Our numerical experiments confirm that the proposed algorithms restore the convergence of the multigrid V-cycle on unstructured grids with unaligned boundaries, while the algorithm agrees with the standard multigrid V-cycle on local grids with aligned boundaries. They are also shown to mitigate the fault impact and reduce the delays in the post-fault global multigrid iterations completely. To automate the recovery process and to optimise its efficiency, we also introduce adaptive stopping criteria derived from the discrete maximum principle that terminate the recovery process based on the characteristics of the grid and the underlying solution. Furthermore, we implement an asynchronous recovery strategy that utilises the healthy processors to continue computation while the faulty processor recovers. This strategy improves the overall recovery efficiency by reducing the time-to-solution of the recovery process.

description: Emerging adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are at an increased risk of experiencing high levels of stress. Mindfulness, which refers to paying attention in the present moment in a nonjudgmental way, is one coping strategy that can help reduce stress among emerging adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Monitor-and-acceptance theory is a theoretical framework that describes how attention monitoring and acceptance are mechanisms that help explain the effects of mindfulness practice on stress. A novel approach to practicing mindfulness in this population is through the use of technology-supported mindfulness strategies. Mobile and wearable devices may help these individuals practice state mindfulness, which refers to the quality of mindfulness at a particular point in time. In the present study, a wearable electroencephalogram called the MUSE, which provides neurofeedback cues for mindfulness practice, and the Headspace app, a guided audio mindfulness practice, were used to promote state mindfulness. Following a convergent parallel mixed methods design, an alternating treatment design was used for the quantitative data to investigate differences in state mindfulness, attention monitoring, acceptance, and state stress in emerging adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities using the MUSE, Headspace app, or no technology support. For the qualitative data, interviews were conducted to examine the experiences and attitudes in this population after using these devices. A total of four emerging adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities completed five baseline and 15 intervention sessions, totaling 20 study sessions. There was partial support for the hypothesized relationship between using the technology-supported strategies and higher state mindfulness scores, higher attention monitoring scores, higher acceptance scores, and reduced state stress compared to no technology devices at all in the participants. Three themes emerged from the data that included how the devices were preferred for mindfulness practice, how paying attention to the breath can support mental health, and how Zoom can affect mindfulness practice. Future research consisting of extending the duration and length of using the devices for mindfulness practice and considering the intellectual disability severity level are discussed.

description: Spin chains — systems governed by spin-spin interactions between neighbouring sites — arise in condensed-matter physics, nonequilibrium transport, and quantum information. Boundary fields at the edges of these chains have particularly important consequences for their applications in these areas. Accurate investigation of the associated phenomena often necessitates exact analytical solutions. This thesis considers one of the simplest interesting spin chains: the one-dimensional open spin-1/2 XXZ model. Known analytical descriptions for the eigenspectrum of this model are not provably complete in the presence of completely general boundary fields. This motivates the extension of the provably-complete Q-operator technique to this case. In particular, this thesis demonstrates that a non-standard construction of the Q-operator — as developed for the open asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) — can be comprehensively interpreted within the standard Q-operator framework. It is shown how to formulate the non-standard construction in terms of the standard Lax operators, R-matrix, and double-row trace. This formulation is made concrete through analytical and numerical comparisons in the spin-1/2 XXZ case. The key feature of the non-standard construction is its use of parameter-dependent boundary vectors in place of the standard reflection equation. Based on the formulation above, it is conjectured that these two approaches are equivalent. In particular, this thesis presents numerical and analytical evidence that the non-standard ASEP construction encodes the first known solution of the arbitrary-weight reflection equation for the XXZ chain with non-trivial boundary fields. Such a solution is necessary for the standard Q-operator construction. This suggests the power of the parameter-dependent boundary-vector approach, independently of its conjectured equivalence to the standard reflection equation. This thesis may enable the boundary-vector-based Q-operator to be extended to a wider range of systems, thereby obtaining provably-complete descriptions of their eigenspectra.
title: Supermassive Black Hole Masses with multi-object Reverberation Mapping
Creators: name: Malik, Umang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Reverberation mapping uses light echoes to infer the masses of supermassive black holes (SMBH) in active galactic nuclei (AGN). By effectively substituting for spatial resolution with temporal resolution, this technique overcomes the limits faced by other methods reliant on high angular resolution instruments, allowing the study of SMBH evolution over cosmic history. Reverberation measurements have been used to constrain the relationship between the size of the broad-line region and luminosity of AGN. This Radius-Luminosity ($R-L$) relation is used to estimate single-epoch virial black hole masses, and has been proposed for use to standardise AGN to determine cosmological distances. However, the intensity of observational resources required has impeded greater application. This has necessitated the commencement of multi-object spectroscopic surveys, monitoring an order of magnitude more AGN and extending to high redshifts. In this thesis, I explore the intricacies of performing reverberation mapping on this `industrial-scale', and deliver results from the six-year Australian Dark Energy Survey (OzDES) Reverberation Mapping Program; one of two multi-object surveys completed to-date. There are complex interactions between the window function, emission-line lag and variability timescales, which are further complicated by time dilation with redshift. My comprehensive simulations demonstrate the impact of each component of the global observational window function on reverberation lag recovery for a diverse population of AGN. I find the presence of a significant seasonal gap dominates the lag recovery efficacy of any given campaign strategy; more so than the cadence or baseline of the data. With an appreciation of the challenges imposed by the limited spectroscopic cadence and significant seasonal gaps in the OzDES data, I successfully recover reverberation lags for eight AGN at $0.12
