description: Общество и государство это абсолютно не идентичные понятия. Так государство это исторически сложившаяся форма организации, которая основана на политической власти общества, при этом располагающая специальным аппаратом принуждения в вопросах интересов индивидуальной личности и их групп, господствующего класса и всего народа. В то время как общество это форма существования людей, специальная система отношений, выстроенных между ними. Задачи и цели общества и государства, могут полностью или частично совпадать, при этом не исключено, что они могут быть диаметрально противоположны. Центральное понятие, которое дает определение идеала общественного развития, является свобода. Именно она в порядке и ответственности, в разумном порядке в рамках законодательства и цивилизованного здравого общежития человечества. Она не дарована сверху, не может наделяться сверху вождем или президентом, так как это непреложное право каждого человека, абсолютно естественное. Философские и правовые проблемы взаимодействия гражданского общества и государства, роль и место последнего в процессе российской демократизации остаются единым объектом внимания со стороны политиков, ученых. В современной научной литературы общепризнанных дефиниций гражданского общества не обнаружено, вполне обоснованным и традиционным является противопоставление государства и гражданского общества, а их единство всего лишь предположения.

description: We present quantum-mechanical theory of impact ionization in semiconductors with the direct band gap in \$Γ\$-point. It is shown that energy dependence of the impact ionization rate \$\mathcal{W}(E)\$ near a threshold \$E_{th}\$ is given by superposition of the two terms, one of which is strongly anisotropic and quadratic in \$E-E_{th}\$, while another one is isotropic and cubic in \$E-E_{th}\$. Explicit form of the coefficients in such representation is derived in the framework of the 14-band \${\bf k\cdot p}\$ model, and we claim the room temperature domination of the cubic contribution for most of the direct-gap materials with \$E_g\$ up to 1.5 eV.

description: Государственное и муниципальное управление это особый вид управления и регулирования страной, поэтому все физическое и юридические лица, которые имеют влияние на государство несут ответственность за свои действия. Так как ответственность физических и юридических лиц в рамках государственного и муниципального управления регулируется действующим законодательством Российской Федерации, то стоит начать обзор всех видов ответственности с политической. Распространяется она исключительно на некоторые государственные и муниципальные органы, при этом особая форма политической ответственности является именно роспуск парламента. Возможен он при наличии ряда факторов, но производится путем законного собрания всех представителей субъектов Российской Федерации на основании Конституционных предписаний. Некоторые страны практикуют роспуск парламента, точнее его нижней палаты или всего, в случае с однопалатным парламентом, в связи с нарушением сроков принятия государственного бюджета. Такой подход практикуют страны ближнего зарубежья: Украина и Польша. Разумеется, связано это с тем, что парламент так и смог утвердить бюджет на ближайший год, тем самым по завершению выборов правительство не сможет приступить к своим должностным обязанностям и выполнять поставленные перед ним задачи. На территории Российской Федерации закон устанавливает границы политической ответственности на уровне глав администрации субъектов РФ.
Impacts of enterprise resource planning (ERP) on the decision-making process in Australian organisations

description: This research investigated the impacts of the vast amounts of data produced by enterprise information systems on decision-making processes in Australian organisations. Knowledge of the underlying theory is limited, and research in the context of Australian organisations is particularly sparse. -- The exploratory stage of this research, therefore, comprised a series of semi-structured interviews with managers and practitioners in order to gain insight into the problem and cater for the lack of established theories. The findings from these interviews, presented as a paper at the PACIS 2009 conference, were used to design the survey instrument used in the second stage of the study. Finally, the findings from interviews and survey were combined with the researcher's professional experience to build a theoretical system dynamics model for gaining a holistic and systematic understanding of participating factors and their interactions and behaviour over a long period of time. This model was used to simulate practical scenarios and conduct sensitivity analyses. -- Throughout the research, the topic was investigated from three different perspectives: users' expectations of the ability of enterprise information systems to provide decisionsupport features and capabilities; exhibition of decision-support features and capabilities in enterprise systems; and realisation of these features and benefits in practice. This study found significant gaps between expectations, exhibition and realisation. -- Analysis of the data and experiments with the system dynamics model have led to the development of practical guidelines that could help organisations better utilise their investment in enterprise information system towards more strategic benefits, such as decision making.

Diese Forschungsrichtung, die auf dem Kontinent vernetzt ist, analysiert Konzepte wie hegemoniale Männlichkeit und männliche Militanz, Differenzen zwischen Männern und deren Bedeutung zur Erklärung von geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt. Zunächst werden die Hintergründe der mangelnden Rezeption solcher Ansätze in Europa und in den USA erläutert, anschließend werden wesentliche Inhalte an Fallstudien skizziert. Der regionale Fokus liegt auf Südafrika und Uganda, da in beiden Ländern die Forschungen sehr breit gefächert, interdisziplinär, intersektional und innovativ sind. Auch die institutionelle Verankerung sowie die dabei zu bewältigenden Herausforderungen werden aufgezeigt. Zusammenfassend werden die Chancen für die deutschen Gender Studies durch einen verbesserten Austausch dargelegt.

description: Развитие рыночных отношений не мешает государству каждый год вкладывать бюджетные средства в закупки, чтобы удовлетворить собственные нужды, дать толчок к развитию экономики как на федеральном, так муниципальном уровне. Понятие и правовое обеспечение государственных и муниципальных закупок В России, к настоящему времени, сформирована достаточно полная нормативно-законодательная база по организации процессов закупок продукции (услуг) для государственных нужд, включая конкурсные торги различных видов. Состав указанных нормативно правовых актов включает большое количество документов, как на федеральном уровне, так и на уровне отдельных субъектов Российской Федерации и органов местного самоуправления. В некоторых из них, по предварительным оценкам, нормативная база в области регулирования государственных закупок является даже более проработанной, чем на федеральном уровне. Законодательно-нормативная база достаточно подробно регулирует гражданско-правовые вопросы государственных закупок, взаимные права и обязанности сторон, состав и виды формируемых документов на различных этапах заключения контрактов и их исполнения. Государственные закупки это система размещения заказов на поставку товаров, выполнение работ или оказание услуг для муниципальных или государственных нужд. Государственный заказ размещение заказов на поставки товаров, выполнение работ, оказание услуг для государственных или муниципальных нужд. В широком понимании государственный заказ это потребность органов государственного управления в товарах, работах и услугах, которая удовлетворяется за счет средств бюджетов и внебюджетных фондов, то есть за счет средств налогоплательщиков.

description: Эффективность системы городского управления в современных условиях зависит от грамотной организации взаимодействия всех ее элементов, а также привлечение жителей города к управлению. Эффективные социальные технологии «вовлечения» горожан в плодотворное социальное партнерство с властью в России пока не найдены, чем и объясняется актуальность рассмотрения темы данной курсовой работы. Как и всякий общественный процесс, процесс расширения числа участников управленческих решений имеет как положительные, так и отрицательные последствия. Положительными являются: возможность принимать управленческие, решения, опираясь на информацию о реальных настроениях людей в городе, на знания об иерархии наиболее актуальных проблем, требующих оперативного решения; оценивать отношение людей к постановлениям, решениям, принимаемым законодательной и исполнительной властью; принимать решения, осознавая степень готовности различных групп населения к принятию и реализации постановлений местной власти, направленных как на осуществление перспективных, так и текущих задач; понимать расстановку социальных сил, знать городские социальные группы, готовые к активной работе по реализации принятых решений, ориентированные на пассивное ожидание или сопротивление нововведениям; работать, реализуя идею активного социального партнерства власти и населения, общественных движений, различных партий. К отрицательным последствиям можно отнести: усложнение процесса принятия решений, поскольку согласование большого числа различных интересов процесс многоступенчатый и трудный; возможно значительное удлинение сроков принятия решений; не исключено некоторое увеличение материальных затрат, обусловленное возрастанием числа участников управленческого процесса.

description: In this study, mutagenic and genotoxic potential of anti-tumor compounds avarol, avarone, and its derivatives 3′-methoxyavarone, 4′-(methylamino)avarone and 3′-(methylamino)avarone was evaluated and compared to cytostatics commonly used in chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, etoposid, and cisplatin). Mutagenic potential of selected hydroquinone and quinones was assessed in prokaryotic model by the SOS/umuC assay in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002. Genotoxic potential was also assessed in eukaryotic models using comet assay in human fetal lung cell line (MRC-5), human adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line (A549), and in human peripheral blood cells (HPBC). The results indicated that avarol and avarone do not exert mutagenic/genotoxic potential. Among the studied avarone derivatives, mutagenic potential was detected by SOS/umuC test for 3′-(methylamino)avarone, but only after metabolic activation. The results of comet assay indicated that 3′-methoxyavarone and 3′-(methylamino)avarone have a significant impact on the level of DNA damage in the MRC-5 cell line. Genotoxic potential was not observed in A549 cells or HPBC probably due to a different uptake rate for the compounds and lower in metabolism rate within these cells.

description: Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are important class of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications, due to their ultimate body thickness, sizable and tunable bandgap, and decent theoretical room-temperature mobility of hundreds to thousands cm2/Vs. So far, however, all TMDCs show much lower mobility experimentally because of the collective effects by foreign impurities, which has become one of the most important limitations for their device applications. Here, taking MoS2 as an example, we review the key factors that bring down the mobility in TMDC transistors, including phonons, charged impurities, defects, and charge traps. We introduce a theoretical model that quantitatively captures the scaling of mobility with temperature, carrier density and thickness. By fitting the available mobility data from literature over the past few years, we are able to obtain the density of impurities and traps for a wide range of transistor structures. We show that interface engineering such as oxide surface passivation, high-k dielectrics and BN encapsulation could effectively reduce the impurities, leading to improved device performances. For few-layer TMDCs, we analytically model the lopsided carrier distribution to elucidate the experimental increase of mobility with the number of layers. From our analysis, it is clear that the charge transport in TMDC samples is a very complex problem that must be handled carefully. We hope that this Review can provide new insights and serve as a starting point for further improving the performance of TMDC transistors.

Environmental influences and early life experiences on immune function of the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata)

Year: 2022

description: Understanding what drives variation in immune function has been a focus of avian eco-immunologists in the past few decades. I conducted several very novel experiments to investigate potential sources of variation. First, I assessed variation in innate and adaptive immunity during nestling rearing in adult zebra finches whilst experimentally manipulating the microbial load of the nesting environment. The primary immune response (adaptive) was much higher in birds attending dirty nests (higher microbial load) than clean nests, suggesting that the microbial environment upregulated the adaptive immune system. Despite differences in nest sanitation, constitutive innate immune function decreased in adults throughout the period of caring for their young, but was not affected by nest microbial load itself. Surprisingly, nest sanitation did not impact upon innate or adaptive immune function or growth in nestling zebra finches. Interestingly, the innate and adaptive immune measures tested were not fully functional at the time of fledging or even at 60 days,which may suggest that young altricial passerines may tolerate rather than defend against potential pathogens at that stage. Secondly, I investigated the development of innate immune function in juveniles that had been subjected to an experimental acoustic playback whilst they were embryos. Eggs exposed to incubation calls were fed more as nestlings and were heavier at 13 days of age. However, as juveniles (around 60 days of age), males were in poorer body condition than females but males had much better constitutive innate immune function, suggesting a trade-off between condition and immune function. Overall, these results collectively suggest that the microbial environment, and acoustic components of the rearing environment, can lead to variation in different facets of immune function. Studies investigating immune function in wild birds should consider these potential causes of variation to get an accurate representation and understanding of bird health and functioning.
ATLASGAL-selected massive clumps in the inner Galaxy IV. Millimeter hydrogen recombination lines from associated HII regions

description: Observations of millimeter wavelength radio recombination lines (mm-RRLs) are used to search for HII regions in an unbiased way that is complementary to many of the more traditional methods previously used. We carried out targeted mm-RRL observations (39$\leq$ principal quantum number ($n$) $\leq$65 and $Δn$ = 1, 2, 3 and 4, i.e. H$nα$, H$nβ$, H$nγ$ and H$nδ$) using the IRAM 30m and Mopra 22m telescopes. We observed 976 compact dust clumps selected from a catalog of $\sim$10,000 ATLASGAL sources. We detected H$nα$ mm-RRL emission toward 178 clumps; H$nβ$, H$nγ$ and H$nδ$ were also detected toward 65, 23, and 22 clumps, respectively. This is the largest sample of mm-RRLs detections published to date. Comparing the positions of these clumps with radio continuum surveys we identified compact radio counterparts for 134 clumps. The nature of the other 44 detections is unclear, but 8 detections are thought to be potentially new HII regions. Broad linewidths are seen toward nine clumps (linewidth > 40 km s$^{-1}$) revealing significant turbulent motions within the ionized gas. We find that the linewidth of the H$^{13}$CO$^{+}$ (1$-$0) emission is significantly wider than those without mm-RRL detection. We also find a correlation between the integrated fluxes of the mm-RRLs and the 6 cm continuum flux densities of their radio counterparts. We find that the mm-RRL emission is associated with HII regions with $n_{e}<10^{5}$ cm$^{-3}$ and HII region diameter >0.03 pc. We detected mm-RRLs toward 178 clumps and identified eight new HII region candidates. The broad mm-RRL from nine clumps may indicate that they arise in very young hyper-compact HII regions. The mm-RRLs trace the radio continuum sources detected by high-resolution observations and their line parameters show associations with the embedded radio sources and their parental molecular clumps.

A comparative analysis between deradicalization programs in Arab states and Western states in terms of their underlying assumptions and scholarship

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The war on terror has created more harm than good, largely confronting terrorism with a kinetic approach that has yielded undesirable outcomes. Increased numbers of foreign fighter returnees and home-grown terrorists have forced many countries to develop soft approach deradicalization programs, part of wider Counter Violent Extremism (CVE) initiatives, in response. These programs have been created to manage and deradicalize apprehended violent extremists, often within the correctional setting. Although many countries face the challenges of differing forms of radicalization, different states have approached the construction of these programs differently. In the Arab world the focus is on correcting deviant religious ideology through re-education and the support of normative Islam. In Western countries, on the other hand, there has been more focus on the adoption of social and psychological programs and processes to counter radicalized violent extremists. The aim of this study is to map, for the first time, the differences between Arab and Western deradicalization programs in terms of the fundamental assumptions upon which they are based. It will then explore how these assumptions have affected the structure and success of the programs. The research method adopted is an inductive theoretical approach using core qualitative components consisting of: 1) a literature review; 2) case studies; and 3) a comparative analysis. This research confirms that Arab programs do indeed focus on religious issues, while Western countries generally do not, although there is significant overlap in how the programs function. It is recommended that a mixture of religious and social approaches, with a focus on ideology, is crucial to success in the future.

description: Учитывая современный подход к понятию «механизм государства» можно выделить несколько значительных концепции, так первая из них подразумевает узкое или более широкое толкование механизма государства, определяющего его как политическую систему общества в более широком, и как аппарат государственной власти в более узком. Вторая концепция трактует данное понятие как традиционный инструмент, механизм государства выраженный в аппарате государственной власти. Третья концепция это расширенная, характеризующая механизм как совокупность всех государственных организаций, органов, учреждений и предприятий. Такая структура достаточно изменчива и многообразна, поэтому в нее включены все государственные органы управления, которые обладают властными полномочиями, а также государственные предприятия и учреждения, которые не обладают ими. Не исключением стали и финансовые и организационные средства, в том числе принудительная сила. Государственные учреждения это тип государственных организаций, который осуществляет прямую практическую деятельность по заданной функции государства в разнообразных сферах, начиная с охранительной и заканчивая экономической. Принято считать что государственные учреждения это организации выполняющие социально-культурные функции в сфере здравоохранения, образования и науки.

description: Background: Iron food fortification and oral iron formulations are frequently limited by poor absorption, resulting in the widespread use of high-dose oral iron, which is poorly tolerated. Methods: We evaluated novel iron-denatured whey protein (Iron-WP) microspheres on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and viability in gut epithelial (HT29) cells. We compared iron absorption from Iron-WP versus equimolar-dose (25 mg elemental iron) ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) in a prospective, randomised, cross-over study in fasting volunteers (n = 21 per group) dependent on relative iron depletion (a ferritin level ≤/>30 ng/mL). Results: Iron-WP caused less ROS generation and better HT29 cell viability than equimolar FeSO4. Iron-WP also showed better absorption with a maximal 149 ± 39% increase in serum iron compared to 65 ± 14% for FeSO4 (p = 0.01). The response to both treatments was dependent on relative iron depletion, and multi-variable analysis showed that better absorption with Iron-WP was independent of baseline serum iron, ferritin, transferrin saturation, and haemoglobin in the overall group and in the sub-cohort with relative iron depletion at baseline (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Novel Iron-WP microspheres may protect gut epithelial cells and improve the absorption of iron versus FeSO4. Further evaluation of this approach to food fortification and supplementation with iron is warranted.
Adjustment of the Crack Factors for HDM-4 Deterioration Model to Ethiopian Asphalt Concrete Roads: A case Study on Adama-Methara Road"

Subjects: Adjustment, Road deterioration, Crack initiation, Crack propagation

description: The Highway Development and Management Model (HDM), originally developed by the World
 Bank, has become widely used as a planning and programming tool for highway expenditures
 and maintenance standards. HDM is a computer model that simulates physical and economic
 conditions throughout the analysis. Transportation planners and engineers in Ethiopia are also
 using the Model for feasibility studies and pavement management purposes. The Link Adama Metehara is serving the highest traffic volume and classified in the tropical Semi-Arid
 environmental classification. One of the sub-model incorporated in the software is the Road
 Deterioration and Work Effects (RDWE) containing key parameters like crack initiation and
 propagation factors which shall be adjusted to the specific conditions of the country where they
 are to be used. Poor deterioration modeling can result in making feasible projects infeasible and
 vice versa, resulting in wrong decision making and misleads the timely maintenance intervention
 plan which is largely been a problem in Ethiopia, and quite a great proportion of roads fail
 before the design period due to lack of timely maintenance measures hence huge
 mismanagement of public funds. Thus, to carry out the adjustment procedure, a pavement
 condition survey data is collected using standard statistical sampling techniques for the analysis
 years from the field survey and valid data from pertinent offices. The actual crack mapping,
 measuring and evaluation process is performed based on the crack measuring mechanisms
 recommended by the model and structured it using the British pavement surface condition rating
 manual. The method of adjustment for the crack factors between the forecasted and observed
 values is linear regression. Based on the equation given in HDM-4 the result found from the
 study shows that the user-specified adjustments to the cracking initiation factor Kci = 0.84 and
 for the crack propagation factor Kcp = 1.20. The influence of underestimated high traffic load
 on the pavement exposed fatigue cracking which demands adoption of several different growth
 rates based on short, medium, and long-term considerations since the indirect effect of cracking
 to asphalt roads is an important criterion to fail the road before the design period. Therefore, it
 is recommended to carry out post-evaluation study for each representative pavement type to
 study how well the pavement is performing and help to make well-informed decision, optimizing
 capital costs and minimizing operating costs by employing preventive maintenances

Avian breeding phenology and functional traits in relation to climatic variation
Creators: name: Duursma, Daisy Englert
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The goal of this thesis is to explore how adaptations modulate the influence of climatic extremes in breeding birds. I develop novel methods to collate and analyse breeding observations from conventional and non-conventional data sources and compile the largest dataset of avian breeding observations in Australia. I assess spatial and temporal patterns of breeding phenology for approximately 330 species to evaluate how phenology varies across five biomes, (based on a national classification system where the tropical and equatorial regions were combined). Arising from this was the novel finding that birds in the desert breed significantly earlier than in any other biome. Additionally, phenology calculated from single sightings of juvenile birds or eggs was interchangeable with multi-visit observations,increasing the breadth of data available for breeding-time studies. I tackle a longstanding ecological question about which climatic conditions underpin the timing of opportunistic breeding. I show that inter- and intra-specific breeding niches differ systematically across tropical, subtropical, grassland, desert, and temperate biomes,and over temperature and aridity gradients. A key finding is that hot temperatures constrain breeding in arid regions, but the effect of rainfall is not as universal as commonly assumed. I further examine the relationship between breeding and climate, exploring variation in phenology in relation to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Australian birds breed for longer and with greater intensity during the La Niña phase of ENSO, providing an outstanding opportunity for well-timed conservation initiatives. Finally, I demonstrate that the distribution of egg shape and nest types reflects selective pressures of critical environmental parameters such as temperature and the drying capacity of the air. In hot/dry areas with sparse plant canopies, mean egg elongation decreased, and the proportion of species with covered nests increased. Predicting which species may cope with extreme climate from measurable phenology, climatic niches and traits provide a timely solution for assessing vulnerability from climate change.

description: Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia is the most common cause of immune-mediated thrombocytopenia in the newborn period. The disorder results from placental transfer of maternal alloantibodies directed against paternally inherited antigens carried on fetal platelets. While most cases are mild, some neonates have very low platelet counts associated with serious bleeding in hours to days following birth. The treatment for severely affected neonate is typically transfusion of compatible random donor platelets in addition to intravenous immunoglobulins. The diagnosis is confirmed by genotyping of parental platelet antigens and serological testing for maternal serum antibodies. We present a newborn with early onset symptomatic thrombocytopenia, in whom early clinical recognition and prompt therapeutic intervention resulted in the complete recovery. The importance of correct diagnosis for future pregnancies is emphasized.

description: Rain cracking (hereinafter referred to as macrocracking) severely impacts the production of sweet cherry (Prunus avium). Calcium (Ca) sprays can reduce macrocracking, but the reported responses to Ca sprays are variable and inconsistent. The objective of this study was to establish the physiological mechanism through which Ca reduces macrocracking in sweet cherry fruit. Six spray applications of 50 mM CaCl2 had no effect on macrocracking (assessed using a standardized immersion assay) despite a 28% increase in the Ca-to-dry mass ratio. Similarly, during another experiment, there was no effect of up to nine Ca sprays on macrocracking, although the Ca-to-dry mass ratio increased as the number of applications increased. In contrast, CaCl2 spray applications during simulated rain (in a fog chamber) significantly reduced the proportion of macrocracked fruit. Additionally, immersion of fruit in CaCl2 decreased macrocracking in a concentration-dependent manner. Monitoring macrocrack extension using image analysis revealed that the rate of macrocrack extension decreased markedly as the CaCl2 concentration increased. This effect was significant at concentrations as low as 1 mM CaCl2. Decreased anthocyanin leakage, decreased epidermal cell wall swelling, and increased fruit skin stiffness and fracture force contributed to the decrease in macrocracking. There was no effect of CaCl2 on the cuticle deposition rate. Our results demonstrated that Ca decreased macrocracking when applied to a wet fruit surface either by spraying on wet fruit or by incubation in solutions containing CaCl2. Under these circumstances, Ca had direct access to the cell wall of an extending macrocrack. The mode of action of Ca in reducing macrocracking is primarily decreasing the rate of crack extension at the tip of a macrocrack.
An exploration into the world of experience: a systemic-functional interpretation of the grammar of Japanese

description: This is a theory-based and corpus-based description of the grammar of modern Japanese. The thesis explores the world of meaning that is constituted by means of the grammar, and provides an account for the grammar of Japanese in general, and the transitivity system of Japanese in particular. That is, the thesis explores specifically how our experiences of the world of around us and inside us are construed by the grammar. The exploration is firmly based on systemic functional theory - a theory that offers a multidimensional interpretation of language as resource. Here language is seen as meaning potential, and is interpreted along the dimensions set by the theory - stratification, metafunction, axis, rank, delicacy and instantiation - which capture the mul-tidimensionality of language, and provide trinocular views of language, allowing us to see it 'from above', 'from around' and 'from below'. -- Such views obtained through the exploration will be presented very explicitly by means of the system network. It represents paradigmatic and syntag-matic relations of the recurrent grammatical patterns in the form of non-cyclical graph. The thesis explores in detail the domains of process type - processes of 'saying', 'sensing', 'being' and 'doing' - in terms of the theory of nuclear transitivity and, where appropriate, the theory of circumstantial transitivity. Each process type will be explored in the space of a chapter, and the characteristics of each of these process types will be modelled by means of the system network. -- The system network will provide us with a view of the global typological organization of the transitivity system as a resource for construing experience; the system network presents interrelated options as discrete grammatical categories. To adjust this typological view of the grammar, the thesis adopts a complementary perspective, i.e. a topological perspective. This perspective allows us to gain further insight into the organization of meaning, and it brings out indeterminate cases that in turn point to the overlapping semantic regions spreading across the domains of different process types. In other words, the thesis will explore the experiential domains of meaning and characterize them as a multidimensional elastic meaning space that construes our experience of the world around us and inside us.
Torsional oscillations of magnetized neutron stars: Impacts of Landau-Rabi quantization of electron motion

description: Torsional oscillations of magnetized neutron stars have been well studied since they may be relevant to the physical interpretation of some of the observed quasiperiodic oscillations in the magnetar giant flares. In the crustal region of a magnetar, the strong magnetic field can alter the equation of state and composition due to the Landau-Rabi quantization of electron motion. In this paper, we study this effect on the crust-confined, torsional oscillation modes of neutron stars with mixed poloidal-toroidal magnetic fields in general relativity under the Cowling approximation. Furthermore, the inner and outer crusts are treated consistently based on the nuclear-energy density functional theory. Depending on the magnetic-field configurations, we find that the Landau-Rabi quantization of electrons can change the frequencies of the fundamental torsional oscillation mode of $1.4 M_\odot$ neutron star models with a normal fluid core by about 10% when the magnetic field strength at the pole reaches the order of $10^{16}$ G. The shift can even approach 20% at a field strength of $10^{15}$ G for neutron stars with a simple model of superconducting core where the magnetic field is assumed to be expelled completely.

description: Refractory hypotension and chronic lung disease are common and lethal complications in extremely low gestational age newborns. Recently, glucocorticoids have been used as rescue therapy for these diseases based on the proposed contribution of relative adrenal insufficiency. However, the efficacy and safety, and optimal treatment protocol of glucocorticoids have not been established. We recently reported the potency of our therapeutic protocol for postnatal refractory hypotension with a single low dose of hydrocortisone. We also reported the efficacy of our therapeutic protocol with hydrocortisone for severe leaky lung syndrome, which occurs in the progression phase of chronic lung disease. To determine the efficacy and safety of these strategies, further well-designed randomized controlled trials are necessary.

description: We use the cosmo-OWLS and BAHAMAS suites of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to explore the separate and combined effects of baryon physics (particularly feedback from active galactic nuclei, AGN) and free-streaming of massive neutrinos on large-scale structure. We focus on five diagnostics: i) the halo mass function; ii) halo mass density profiles; iii) the halo mass-concentration relation; iv) the clustering of haloes; and v) the clustering of matter; and we explore the extent to which the effects of baryon physics and neutrino free-streaming can be treated independently. Consistent with previous studies, we find that both AGN feedback and neutrino free-streaming suppress the total matter power spectrum, although their scale and redshift dependencies differ significantly. The inclusion of AGN feedback can significantly reduce the masses of groups and clusters, and increase their scale radii. These effects lead to a decrease in the amplitude of the mass-concentration relation and an increase in the halo autocorrelation function at fixed mass. Neutrinos also lower the masses of groups and clusters while having no significant effect on the shape of their density profiles (thus also affecting the mass-concentration relation and halo clustering in a qualitatively similar way to feedback). We show that, with only a small number of exceptions, the combined effects of baryon physics and neutrino free-streaming on all five diagnostics can be estimated to typically better than a few percent accuracy by treating these processes independently (i.e., by multiplying their separate effects).

description: The news media’s increased reliance on visual communication to illustrate complex processes and promote learning stresses the importance of investigating how visual content impacts the understanding of scientific issues. In this paper, we investigate how members of the public interpret and make sense of differentially framed images of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) depicting environmental risk, economic benefit, or issue protest. For the analysis, a repeated measures online experiment was conducted with 250 participants to evaluate 40 photographs of fracking operations and consequences. Quantitative coding and thematic analysis of open-ended responses to the images reveal that standing attitudes, operationalized as support, opposition, or indecision about fracking, segments viewers into distinct groups and shapes interpretations of environmental risk and economic benefit. Issue opponents are more likely to indicate concern for the environment regardless of frame shown, whereas undecideds and supporters cite the impact on human health more frequently, largely in relation to job site safety. Supporters also see the least ambiguity, and most economic gains, in images about the controversial production practice.

description: There are many distributed systems which use a leader in their logic. When such systems need to be fault tolerant and the current leader suffers a technical problem, it is necesary to apply a special algorithm in order to choose a new leader. In this paper I present a new fault tolerant algorithm which elects a new leader based on a random roulette wheel selection.
