There is a gap between the desired outcomes of social inclusion policy and the everyday experiences of people labelled with intellectual or developmental disability. Despite belonging rhetorically named in social inclusion policy and practice, belonging is often absent in the lives of people labelled with intellectual or developmental disability and remains undertheorised in its relationship to social inclusion. In this paper we explore the role belonging might play in narrowing this gap. Drawing on critical disability and feminist relational theories, we outline a relational conceptualization of belonging and use it to ‘crip’ the construct of social inclusion, asking the question: ‘Is belonging a useful construct in expanding and shifting understandings of social inclusion in ways that value crip and other non normative ways of being?’. We explore the synergies and tensions that surface when social inclusion and belonging are held together as discrete but interconnected constructs, naming four conceptual shifts and expansions that allow us to see social inclusion differently.

description: Abundant but short second-generation sequencing reads make assembly difficult, leading to fragmented genomes and gene annotations. Gene structure information from RNA sequences can be used to improve the completeness and contiguity of an assembly, but bioinformatics methods have been lacking. Rascaf is a highly efficient tool leveraging long-range continuity information from intron spanning RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) read pairs to detect new contig connections. It determines a heaviest path in an exon block graph that simultaneously represents a gene and the underlying contig relationships. Rascaf is more accurate than its competitors, highly precise, and finds thousands of new verifiable connections in several draft Rosaceae genomes. Lightweight and practical, it can be readily incorporated into sequencing pipelines to improve an assembly and its gene annotations.

description: Loyal buyer-seller relationships can arise by design, e.g. when a seller tailors a product to a specific market niche to accomplish the best possible returns, and buyers respond to the dedicated efforts the seller makes to meet their needs. We ask whether it is possible, instead, for loyalty to arise spontaneously, and in particular as a consequence of repeated interaction and co-adaptation among the agents in a market. We devise a stylized model of double auction markets and adaptive traders that incorporates these features. Traders choose where to trade (which market) and how to trade (to buy or to sell) based on their previous experience. We find that when the typical scale of market returns (or, at fixed scale of returns, the intensity of choice) become higher than some threshold, the preferred state of the system is segregated: both buyers and sellers are segmented into subgroups that are persistently loyal to one market over another. We characterize the segregated state analytically in the limit of large markets: it is stabilized by some agents acting cooperatively to enable trade, and provides higher rewards than its unsegregated counterpart both for individual traders and the population as a whole.

description: The position of some taxa on the Tree of Life remains controversial despite the increase in genomic data used to infer phylogenies. While analyzing large datasets alleviates stochastic errors, it does not prevent systematic errors in inference, caused by both biological (e.g., incomplete lineage sorting, hybridization) and methodological (e.g., incorrect modeling, erroneous orthology assessments) factors. In this study, we systematically investigated factors that could result in these controversies, using the treeshrew (Scandentia, Mammalia) as a study case. Recent studies have narrowed the phylogenetic position of treeshrews to three competing hypotheses: sister to primates and flying lemurs (Primatomorpha), sister to rodents and lagomorphs (Glires), or sister to a clade comprising all of these. We sampled 50 mammal species including three treeshrews, a selection of taxa from the potential sister groups, and outgroups. Using a large diverse set of loci, we assessed support for the alternative phylogenetic position of treeshrews. The results suggest that the data has statistical support for two hypotheses for the placements of treeshrews, sister to Primatomorpha and to Primatomorpha + Glires. While we observe differences in properties of loci of different types (e.g., CDS, intron, etc.) with respect to the strength of the signal, the support for any particular topology is not dependent on the properties of the data. Rather, we show that the method of phylogenetic signal assessment, as well as whether the signal is measured using the full dataset or only loci with the strongest signal, impacts the results much more.

description: Background Participant recruitment into clinical trials remains challenging. The global increase in the number of social media users has accelerated the use of social media as a modality of recruitment, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic when traditional recruitment methods were reduced. However, there is limited evidence on the performance of social media recruitment strategies into eczema clinical trials. Methods From September 2021 to January 2022, we recruited participants with eczema into an online randomised controlled trial using free advertising on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Reddit (unpaid methods), followed by paid Facebook advertisements (paid method). Unpaid methods were used periodically for 63 days, whilst the paid method for 16 days. Interested individuals who clicked on the advertisement link were directed to the study website, where they could sign up to participate. Consenting, randomisation and data collection occurred exclusively online, using a database management web platform. Evaluation of the social media recruitment methods was performed, including the number of expression of interests, enrolment yield, cost, baseline characteristics and retention. Results Our multi-platform based social media recruitment strategy resulted in 400 expressions of interests, leading to 296 participants. Unpaid methods accounted for 136 (45.9%) of participants, incurring no financial cost. Paid Facebook adverts reached 154,370 individuals, resulting in 123 (41.6%) trial participants for a total cost of £259.93 (£2.11 per participant) and other recruitment methods resulted in 37 (12.5%) enrolments. Paid advertisements predominantly attracted younger participants below the age of 20, whereas unpaid methods mainly drew in participants between 20–29 years of age. The social media platforms recruited an ethnically diverse participant population. Completion rate of follow-up was slightly higher for the paid method (n = 103, 83.7%) compared with the unpaid methods (n = 111, 81.6%). Conclusions Unpaid social media posts recruited the most participants; however, it was time consuming for the researcher. Paid Facebook adverts rapidly recruited a large number of participants for a low cost and provided flexibility to target specific audiences. Our findings indicate that social media is an efficient tool that can potentially support recruitment to clinical trials.

description: Multilayer infrastructure is often interdependent, with nodes in one layer depending on nearby nodes in another layer to function. The links in each layer are often of limited length, due to the construction cost of longer links. Here, we model such systems as a multiplex network composed of two or more layers, each with links of characteristic geographic length, embedded in 2-dimensional space. This is equivalent to a system of interdependent spatially embedded networks in two dimensions in which the connectivity links are constrained in length but varied while the length of the dependency links is always zero. We find two distinct percolation transition behaviors depending on the characteristic length, $ζ$, of the links. When $ζ$ is longer than a certain critical value, $ζ_c$, abrupt, first-order transitions take place, while for $ζ

description: This article describes a project that generated the recommendations of a panel of experts regarding the jail as a venue for the delivery of behavioral health care services. The project was a component of the MacArthur Foundation’s Safety and Justice Challenge initiative, which seeks to address over-incarceration by changing the way jails are conceptualized and used. The recommendations were grounded largely in the sequential intercept model that rests on two core principles: minimize the inappropriate penetration of persons with mental illness into the criminal justice system and recognize that the community is the unit of analysis to address criminal justice–mental health problems successfully. Other topics presented in the context of the initiative included bringing the community to scale, jail diversion, the limits of jail responsibility, and the Affordable Care Act’s role in providing insurance coverage for detainees.

description: We elaborate on the color-kinematics duality for off-shell diagrams in gauge theories coupled to matter, by investigating the scattering process $gg\to ss, q\bar q, gg$, and show that the Jacobi relations for the kinematic numerators of off-shell diagrams, built with Feynman rules in axial gauge, reduce to a color-kinematics violating term due to the contributions of sub-graphs only. Such anomaly vanishes when the four particles connected by the Jacobi relation are on their mass shell with vanishing squared momenta, being either external or cut particles, where the validity of the color-kinematics duality is recovered. We discuss the role of the off-shell decomposition in the direct construction of higher-multiplicity numerators satisfying color-kinematics identity in four as well as in $d$ dimensions, for the latter employing the Four Dimensional Formalism variant of the Four Dimensional Helicity scheme. We provide explicit examples for the QCD process $gg\to q\bar{q}g$.

description: The structurally simplest Fe-based superconductor FeSe with a critical temperature $T_{c}\approx$ 8.5 K displays a breaking of the four-fold rotational symmetry at a temperature $T_{s}\approx 87$ K. We investigated the electronic properties of FeSe using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S), magnetization, and electrical transport measurements. The results indicated two new energy scales (i) $T^{*} \approx$ 75 K denoted by an onset of electron-hole asymmetry in STS, enhanced spin fluctuations, and increased positive magnetoresistance; (ii) $T^{**} \approx$ 22 - 30 K, marked by opening up of a partial gap of about 8 meV in STS and a recovery of Kohler's rule. Our results reveal onset of an incipient ordering mode at $T^{*}$ and its nucleation below $T^{**}$. The ordering mode observed here, both in spin as well as charge channels, suggests a coupling between the spins with charge, orbital or pocket degrees of freedom.

title: The Effects of Hypoxic Preconditioning on the Oxygenation and Metabolic Profile of Neuroblastoma

Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Despite neuroblastoma being the most common extracranial solid malignancy in children, it presents a significantly atypical challenge to clinicians and researchers due to its complex biological interplay and heterogeneous behaviour. Hypoxia, which is a lack of oxygenation, has been implicated as a significant factor leading to metastasis, treatment resistance and poor prognosis in many cancers, including neuroblastoma. Whilst our lab has previously demonstrated that hypoxic pre-conditioning of neuroblastoma cells directly triggers neuroblastoma tumour metastasis, it is not known how such preconditioning affects the tumour’s oxygenation itself and how it alters the tumour’s metabolism. We initially measured intratumoural oxygenation, using a fibre-optic oxygen sensor, in tumours originating from neuroblastoma cells and growing on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of a chick embryo model. We investigated the effects of hypoxia preconditioning of the cells on the actual oxygen levels within the tumour. We further investigated, using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), the effects of hypoxic preconditioning on the metabolic profile of neuroblastoma tumours. We demonstrated that hypoxic preconditioning had only a minor effect on intratumoural oxygenation values, yet it had a significant measurable influence on the metabolic profile of the tumours. In particular, 13 metabolites showed a consistent response to hypoxia, with 9 being decreased and 4 being increased in the hypoxic sets across cells and tumour, thus illustrating the lasting effects of hypoxic preconditioning on the tumour metabolome.

description: Performing analysis, optimization and control using simulations of many-particle systems is computationally demanding when no macroscopic model for the dynamics of the variables of interest is available. In case observations on the macroscopic scale can only be produced via legacy simulator code or live experiments, finding a model for these macroscopic variables is challenging. In this paper, we employ time-lagged embedding theory to construct macroscopic numerical models from output data of a black box, such as a simulator or live experiments. Since the state space variables of the constructed, coarse model are dynamically closed and observable by an observation function, we call these variables closed observables. The approach is an online-offline procedure, as model construction from observation data is performed offline and the new model can then be used in an online phase, independent of the original. We illustrate the theoretical findings with numerical models constructed from time series of a two-dimensional ordinary differential equation system, and from the density evolution of a transport-diffusion system. Applicability is demonstrated in a real-world example, where passengers leave a train and the macroscopic model for the density flow onto the platform is constructed with our approach. If only the macroscopic variables are of interest, simulation runtimes with the numerical model are three orders of magnitude lower compared to simulations with the original fine scale model. We conclude with a brief discussion of possibilities of numerical model construction in systematic upscaling, network optimization and uncertainty quantification.

Starting point of the article presented is thus: who are the protagonists of politics? And therefore proper reflection about politics nowadays should start with the question of who should take part in it and which the new and old political issues are, if it should be the purview of a select few or open to everyone, to experts or to what we call the people, a difficult concept to define longer available, in a space which is no longer clearly structured by social classes, nor mobilized by political parties.

description: As a phenomenon of the XX Century, the few existed mass parties were capable to build territorial political sub-cultures. The cornerstone of the subcultures was the capacity to implant itself in specific regions. In Germany from the end of the XIX Century until the rise to power of the Nazis Red Regions were Thuringia, Saxe and Berlin under socialist hegemony, and then under communist influence too. The Red Region in Austria coincided with Vienna and was also destroyed from the fascist reaction. In France the Red Region was the banlieue of Paris, where the Communist Party was predominant from the ‘30 to the ‘70, when working class and communist subculture disappeared because the de-industrialization. The Red Regions in Italy have had a longer wife, because the different social classes of composition and different electoral support. Economic and social changes as the dissolution of the Soviet World have been causes of the end.

description: The paper deals with one of the main traits of Italian political culture: distrust and low levels of civicness, as defined and measured by Robert Putnam. Assuming political culture as an independent variable, we aim to draw an updated map of social capital in Italy at regional level using two different measures. The first is an index builds on hard data (2008-2013) concerning rates of blood donors, electoral participation, volunteering, newspaper readerships. The second measure is the general trust’s variable collected by an unusual large sample. Both measures consistently show the old cleavage between Northern and Southern regions to be still very deep. In the seventies and eighties of the past century, political scientists and sociologists were questioning whether there were three, four or five Italies. Our updated indicators, based on hard and self-reported data, suggest that Northern and Central regions show higher levels of social capital than Southern ones. We conclude underlining that the regional civic gap is larger than the Gdp gap.

description: Abstract: Cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) appear with a very diverse pattern of health manifestation, in which the immune system plays a major driver of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) infection outcomes. The uncontrolled immune response of SARS‑CoV‑2 infection could possibly lead to autoimmune diseases, as we observed increased cases of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) post‑COVID‑19 infection. PV is an autoimmune life‑threatening mucocutaneous disease that is very rarely induced by certain drugs or substance. The link between COVID‑19 infection and autoimmune diseases is still unknown. This study outline the possible link with PV following infection of COVID‑19. A case series of three females and one male between the ages of 33 and 57 with no history of drug‑induced illness or allergy were observed in our current case series. All patients previously contracted SARS‑CoV‑2. The lesions were treated with systemic and oral corticosteroid was given as a basic treatment for PV lesions. Immunomodulator agent was added as an adjunct to reduce the effects of steroid and to decrease the severity of PV. In conclusion, clinicians should be vigilant of the potential emergence of autoimmune reaction following the COVID‑19 pandemic. Further investigation is required to unfold the unclear mechanism of PV induced by SARS‑CoV‑2. We hypothesized that the genetic aberrance inferred by this viral infection might trigger autoimmune diseases and may not limit to PV.

description: We report a method for making horizontal wrap-gate nanowire transistors with up to four independently controllable wrap-gated segments. While the step up to two independent wrap-gates requires a major change in fabrication methodology, a key advantage to this new approach, and the horizontal orientation more generally, is that achieving more than two wrap-gate segments then requires no extra fabrication steps. This is in contrast to the vertical orientation, where a significant subset of the fabrication steps needs to be repeated for each additional gate. We show that cross-talk between adjacent wrap-gate segments is negligible despite separations less than 200 nm. We also demonstrate the ability to make multiple wrap-gate transistors on a single nanowire using the exact same process. The excellent scalability potential of horizontal wrap-gate nanowire transistors makes them highly favourable for the development of advanced nanowire devices and possible integration with vertical wrap-gate nanowire transistors in 3D nanowire network architectures.

description: Vitamin D concentrations show an inverse correlation with incidence of certain tumors in people and dogs. Additionally, human osteosarcoma has been associated with dysregulation of vitamin D-dependent pathways. The study objective was to compare serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 in 20 dogs with osteosarcoma to age- and weight-matched control dogs. We hypothesized that dogs with osteosarcoma would have lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D than control dogs. The mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D 3 concentrations for dogs with osteosarcoma and matched-controls were 34.95 ng/mL and 33.85 ng/mL, respectively (P = 0.784). Based on these data, 25-hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency might not be important in the pathogenesis of canine osteosarcoma.

description: The paper proposes, in a non-systematic ways, a discussion of some issues that may be the subject of a new phase of research on the subject of political culture in Italy. First, it addressed the issueof the persistence of territorial differentiation of the political culture in Italy: are still valid those interpretative categories that featured a long period of studies on this issue? The interplay between general and nifying trends and persistence of a territorial political culture is then analyzed, taking as an example the case of the electoral success of the Five Star Movement. Finally, it discusses the transformation of the political culture in Tuscany, one of the “red regions” where the ideal-typical model of “territorial political subculture” has emerged historically in a form almost “pure”. Is this model still valid? and what are the changes that have occurred?

description: Král' and Sgall (2005) introduced a refinement of list colouring where every colour list must be subset to one predetermined palette of colours. We call this $(k,\ell)$-choosability when the palette is of size at most $\ell$ and the lists must be of size at least $k$. They showed that, for any integer $k\ge 2$, there is an integer $C=C(k,2k-1)$, satisfying $C = O(16^{k}\ln k)$ as $k\to \infty$, such that, if a graph is $(k,2k-1)$-choosable, then it is $C$-choosable, and asked if $C$ is required to be exponential in $k$. We demonstrate it must satisfy $C = Ω(4^k/\sqrt{k})$. For an integer $\ell \ge 2k-1$, if $C(k,\ell)$ is the least integer such that a graph is $C(k,\ell)$-choosable if it is $(k,\ell)$-choosable, then we more generally supply a lower bound on $C(k,\ell)$, one that is super-polynomial in $k$ if $\ell = o(k^2/\ln k)$, by relation to an extremal set theoretic property. By the use of containers, we also give upper bounds on $C(k,\ell)$ that improve on earlier bounds if $\ell \ge 2.75 k$.

description: This paper presents a fast smoothed particle hydro-dynamics (SPH) simulation approach for gaseous fluids. Unlike previous SPH gas simulators, which solve the transparent air flow in a fixed simulation domain, the proposed approach directly solves the visible gas without involving the transparent air. By compensating the density and force calculation for the visible gas particles, we completely avoid the need of computational cost on ambient air particles in previous approaches. This allows the computational resources to be exclusively focused on the visible gas, leading to significant performance improvement of SPH gas simulation. The proposed approach is at least ten times faster than the standard SPH gas simulation strategy and is able to reduce the total particle number by 25–400 times in large open scenes. The proposed approach also enables fast SPH simulation of complex scenes involving liquid–gas transition, such as boiling and evaporation. A particle splitting and merging scheme is proposed to handle the degraded resolution in liquid–gas phase transition. Various examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.

This article aims to provide a synthetic overview of the effects produced by its diffusion in medicine, psychiatry, academic knowledge production, the public sphere and social movements. The point of departure will be the ongoing debate in Europe and Italy, where the category of gender coagulates the hostility of Vatican elites and catholic integralist movements toward the achievements of civil rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual/transgender, queer and intersex people. This contrast is a clear example of the semantic complexity of gender, a concept or better a conceptual device, which has in short time produced numerous political cultures, often in conflict with each others.

Three aspects of impact investing: a qualitative inquiry into an emerging field
Creators: name: Vogeley, Joanna
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This PhD by publication offers an inquiry into the rapidly growing field of impact investing through the qualitative analysis of three stories introduced in three articles. Chapter 1 of this thesis offers an introduction to impact investing which is seen as a new way of addressing society’s greatest challenges by connecting purpose and profits. Chapter 2 then offers a literature analysis of the field to set foundations for impact-investing scholars. Based on neo-institutional theory and the analysis of 80 academic publications, Chapter 2 offers a multilevel impact-investing model which details the macro (institutional), meso (organisational) and micro (individual) levels and the processes by which actors collaborate within and across levels to create outcomes. The literature analysis goes further by also offering a thematic analysis of impact-investing definitions. Finally, the study identifies knowledge gaps and proposes new directions for impact-investing research, with an emphasis on interconnectedness and multilateral understanding between macro, meso and micro actors. Chapter 3 is based on a study which utilises Schwartz’s (1992, 1994) basic values theory to better understand investors’ and investees’ value (in)congruence and its underlying mechanisms and outcomes. Based on 17 investor–investee dyads, this study develops the impact-investing value (in)congruence model and offers a novel typology of four patterns: (1) Nirvana, (2) Yin and Yang, (3) Soul Searching and (4) Shiva. These patterns reveal different constellations of value (in)congruence in investor–investee relationships: the model and typology contribute to the literature on impact investing by providing the angle of values in impact-investing relationships. The implications for research, practice and business ethics in impact investing are discussed. Chapter 4 is a study which draws on Latourian actor-network theory (ANT) and Foucauldian critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a conceptual framework and methodology to study intentions and agency in impact investing. The article argues that Latour and Foucault provide us with the conceptual means to deconstruct the role of intentions in the construction of social and commercial discourse, and to conceptualise agency. The analysis provides a theoretical account of impact entrepreneurs and their ‘prior intentions’ and ‘intentions-in-action’. The model extends the theoretical boundaries of impact investing with meaningful implications for research and practice. Chapter 5 offers a discussion and conclusion of this thesis.

Production and Reproduction of Social Inequalities: The Role of Group Charisma and Group Disgrace
Creators: name: Perulli, Angela
Publisher: name: Cambio. Rivista sulle Trasformazioni Sociali
Year: 2016

description: The paper deals with production and reproduction of social inequalities in Elias’ sociology. For him, the key for any sociological approach to these issues is the use of the concept of social figuration and of the asymmetrical dynamics of «disposition» which drive it. In this essay we will try to decipher these themes (and the more general approach underlying them), starting from the reading of a little known text by Elias which was published only partially; i.e. the speech on the concept of charisma which he gave at the conference organized by the German Sociological Association on the occasion of the centenary of Max Weber’s birth. Starting from the discussion of this peculiar text the papers underline the eliasian position respect to the very famous weberian category. The Eliasian key thought is revealed in all its heuristic potentiality because of its ability to stimulate - in a processual way - static and ideal-typical patterns of analysis. The paper is articulated in three main points. The first concerns the leadership and the role it can play, not only as a source of change but also as a mechanism of social reproduction. Elias purifies the concept of charisma from its metaphysically magical and irrational components - emphasizing the mechanisms of institutionalization of the revolutionary force to which that concept refers - showing the dynamics of construction, protection and waterproofing of the boundaries of power groups made possible by the action of the leader and his followers. The second point concerns the processes of stigmatization and labeling that «crystallize» the system of inequalities, giving them an ideological appearance of normality and incontrovertibility.The third point concerns the contribute to the development of a thought capable of going beyond traditional conceptual dichotomies. The discussion on charisma and inequalities allow us to merge rational and emotional, individual and collective, natural and social aspects of social life in the way how practically they are revealed and can be studied.

Shear Viscosities from Kubo Formalism in a large-$N_{\rm c}$ Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model

description: In this work the shear viscosity of strongly interacting matter is calculated within a two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model as a function of temperature and chemical potential. The general Kubo formula is applied, incorporating the full Dirac structure of the thermal quark spectral function and avoiding commonly used on-shell approximations. Mesonic fluctuations contributing via Fock diagrams provide the dominant dissipative processes. The resulting ratio $η/s$ (shear viscosity over entropy density) decreases with temperature and chemical potential. Interpolating between our NJL results at low temperatures and hard-thermal-loop results at high temperatures a minimum slightly above the AdS/CFT benchmark $η/s=1/4π$ is obtained.

title: J/ψ near-threshold photoproduction off the proton and neutron with CLAS12
Creators: name: Tyson, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: In recent years, J/ψ photoproduction in the near-threshold region has seen a renewed theoretical interest due to the wealth of information it has to offer. Near-threshold J/ψ photoproduction proceeds through the exchange of gluons in the t-channel and is expected to provide unique insight about the nucleon gluonic gravitational form factors (GFFs). Previous studies at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Virginia, USA, have already measured the total and differential cross section of J/ψ near-threshold photoproduction on the free proton. This thesis presents the first measurements of J/ψ near-threshold photoproduction on the bound proton and bound neutron in a deuteron target. The CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer at 12 GeV (CLAS12) based at JLab’s Hall B uses a 11 GeV electron beam impinging on a fixed liquid deuteron target. J/ψ is then produced via the exchange of a quasi-real photon and decays to a lepton pair which is detected alongside the recoil nucleon by CLAS12. Analysis procedures and in particular machine learning based techniques were developed in order to correctly identify final state particles and select J/ψ photoproduction events. The total and differential cross section of J/ψ near-threshold photoproduction on the bound proton and bound neutron were then measured from the detected J/ψ photoproduction events. The measurements of the cross sections on the bound proton and bound neutron agree well within their statistical uncertainty. This is consistent with the assumed two-gluon exchange production mechanism which is isospin invariant. Overall a first measurement of the J/ψ near-threshold photoproduction cross sections on the bound proton and bound neutron was achieved. A better understanding of the mechanical properties of the nucleon, such as pressure and mass distributions, can be obtained by relating J/ψ production to the nucleon GFFs. This opens the way for exciting new insights into the internal structure of the nucleon, and in particular of the nucleon’s gluonic content. An upcoming overhaul of the CLAS12 reconstruction will increase the reconstruction efficiency and the statistical precision of the preliminary measurements described in this thesis, with an expected gain in statistics of at least 50%. Future upgrades at JLab will allow to test some of the theoretical assumptions made in relating J/ψ near-threshold photoproduction to the nucleon GFFs.
