Buddhistische NROs in Bangladesch zwischen Selbstorganisation einer Minderheit, religiöser Praxis und Anknüpfung an die Mehrheitsgesellschaft
Creators: name: Wevelsiep, Lisa
Publisher: name: Interdisziplinäre Zeitschrift für Südasienforschung
Year: 2017

description: Den Besuchern und Besucherinnen buddhistischer Tempel im heutigen Bangladesch wird schnell ins Auge fallen, dass viele von ihnen soziale Projekte wie Kinderheime oder Schulen betreiben. Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen von Feldforschungen in buddhistischen Sozialprojekten im urbanen Raum Bangladeschs soll im Rahmen des Aufsatzes dargestellt werden, wie sich diese buddhistischen Projekte in einem Feld verorten, in dem sich neben ihnen vielfältige nationale und internationale Akteure bewegen und welches von heterogenen Diskursen über Formen und Ziele von entwicklungspolitischer Arbeit geprägt ist. Im entwicklungspolitischen Bereich wird ein Engagement von religiösen Akteuren nicht selten ambivalent betrachtet. Dem liegt unter anderem die Vermutung zugrunde, dass religiöse Organisationen lediglich Personen ihrer Glaubenszugehörigkeit in ihren Projekten begünstigten und dass auch die Programme religiös geprägt seien. Gerade die Tatsache, dass in Bangladesch die Mehrheit der heutzutage in buddhistischen Tempeln angesiedelten Sozialprojekte in den 1970er Jahren – zu einem Zeitpunkt wachsender Auseinandersetzungen zwischen zum Teil buddhistischen Minderheiten und dem Staat in den Chittagong Hill Tracts – gegründet wurden, ließe vermuten, dass diese Projekte Orte darstellen, an denen interne Diskurse und Praktiken einen Raum finden, welche in der Öffentlichkeit nicht problemlos artikulierbar und praktizierbar sind. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung deuten jedoch darauf hin, dass eine einseitige Einordnung von buddhistischen Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NROs) in Dhaka als Gegenräume allein schon aufgrund der Existenz einer großen Anzahl von muslimischen Beschäftigten und Begünstigten unzureichend ist. Vielmehr weist die Untersuchung darauf hin, dass das entwicklungspolitische Feld von den Beteiligten in den Organisationen vielfach als relativ neutraler Raum angesehen wird, in dem Anknüpfungen an die Mehrheitsgesellschaft geschaffen werden, und zudem an eine interne und externe Öffentlichkeit gerichtete neue Bilder über den Buddhismus kreiert werden können.

description: Background: Evidence from various jurisdictions has shown higher rates of injury for Aboriginal compared with non-Aboriginal populations. This study provides an overview of trends in hospitalization injury rates between the Aboriginal and total populations of one Canadian province, British Columbia. Data and methods: Hospital discharge records from 1986 through 2010 were obtained from linked health care databases maintained by Population Data BC. Crude rates and standardized relative risks of hospitalization due to injury among Aboriginal people, relative to the total population of British Columbia, were calculated. Changes over time among males and females were compared for various types and causes of injury. Results: Throughout more than two decades, standardized risks of hospitalization for injury decreased among the Aboriginal and total populations of British Columbia. Larger decreases among the Aboriginal population than among the total population suggest that the gaps are closing. Downward trends in rates were found for most injury categories, and for males and females.

Engines vs. Elephants - Train Tales of India's Modernity
Creators: name: Sinha, Nitin
Publisher: name: Interdisziplinäre Zeitschrift für Südasienforschung
Year: 2016

description: The encounter between engines and elephants was represented in colonialist writings as metaphors for ‘clash of civilizations’. Precisely because of this reason, the essay uses this binary to delve deeper into the train tales of India’s modernity. Peoples, technologies and places together made up India’s railway modernity. In events, claims and histories such as those of alleged British superiority and native ignorance lay the train tales of India’s modernity. In encounters between engines and elephants we find the everyday practices of this modernity. Institutions and their role in the process of nation-state building of course give us a bigger picture of political and social change. Laws, regulations and policies do speak about the intention of the state and the production of subjecthood (or the lack of it in some cases). But stories connected with quotidian matters, fantasies and imaginations, satire and rhetoric, and more importantly their retellings are no less powerful than factsheets of institutions to understand the complex encounters and adaptations that constitute modernity in its processual form. The power of steam was pitted against the force of Oriental beliefs. The essay, which makes use of a largely untapped rich visual archive available for railway studies, however argues that the tracks of modernity often did not erase the site of tradition. In place of simple framework of competition and co-existence it proposes to explore the transport modernity of India through regional and functional segmentation and dependence.

Islam and Contraception in Urban North India - Muslim Women's Reproductive Health Behavior and Decision-making
Creators: name: Weigl-Jäger, Constanze
Publisher: name: Interdisziplinäre Zeitschrift für Südasienforschung
Year: 2016

description: This paper is based on ethnographic research conducted in a predominantly Muslim community in South Delhi. It analyzes the reproductive health behavior and decision-making of low-income Muslim women by focusing in particular on the context, in which the lives of these women are embedded. Fieldwork methods were participant observation, life histories and the conduction of in-depth interviews with forty women as well as medical practitioners and non-governmental/governmental health workers. It is shown that particularly socio-economic constraints as well as women’s poor state of health are the main factors influencing women’s reproductive decision-making. Women’s perception of reproductive health behavior is also closely intertwined with the existing social context and its related social and cultural norms. Local religious beliefs and practices however play a less significant role in determining women’s fertility decisions. Building on case studies of women who articulate their motivations regarding contraceptive use, I argue that Islamic norms and reasoning are fashioned pragmatically. Women manipulate, adopt or reject Islamic legal tenets in regard to contraception to achieve their own goals. All these factors result in a decline of fertility.

Bollywood's Imagination and the Middle Class - a Review of "Queen" and "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi"
Creators: name: Zwarts, Jan-Sijmen
Publisher: name: Interdisziplinäre Zeitschrift für Südasienforschung
Year: 2016

description: A curious contradiction is present in Bollywood cinema, as enunciated by Jyotika Virdi in The Cinematic Imagination – Indian Popular Films as Social History. It is a cultural apparatus very much embroiled in the process of nation-building, which it does by imagining the nation with the bourgeois hegemony in mind (Virdi 2003: 9-10). The bourgeoisie, or middle class, of India is a complex audience. Because of its disparity in income levels as well as social positions, William Mazzarella recommends defining the middle class in India not as an empirical category, but rather as a performative and discursive space. Bollywood cinema, which Mazzarella situates as a cultural device that ‘brings the various middle class formations into an active – if often contested – alignment’ (Mazzarella 2016: 9), thus becomes a multi-layered space that engages with and offers resolutions for the social anxieties of the middle class. Definitions of romance, love, and the female have been part of these social anxieties. This paper will analyse the manner in which the female protagonists of Jodi and Queen manage to steer their way through these anxieties as part of their coming of age. By making a comparative analysis of two films that arguably represent two different modes of middle class formation, this paper will show that Bollywood does not represent the status quo in the shape of a monolithic ideal. To resolve this apparent contradiction within the Bollywood industry, Baudrillard’s notion of hyperreality will be put forward as a critical concept. The analysis of the movies will illustrate that Bollywood has a tendency to refer to itself, instead of strongly adhering to values outside of the industry. That does not mean that these values have disappeared from Bollywood films; it does however create a space in which certain deviations from the status quo are made possible.

Azadi - (T)räume der Freiheit und Orte des Widerstands im Kaschmirtal
Creators: name: Link, Frederic Maria
Publisher: name: Interdisziplinäre Zeitschrift für Südasienforschung
Year: 2016

description: Der vorliegende Artikel beschäftigt sich mit lokalen Formen des Widerstands im indisch verwalteten Jammu und Kashmir. Ein sehr populärer Slogan auf Demonstrationen und Kundgebungen ist: „Hum kya chahte? Azadi!“ (Was wollen wir? Freiheit!). Azadi ist dabei nicht nur eine politische Parole. Vielmehr wird es hier als ein komplexes Konzept verstanden, das ein breites Spektrum von politischen und besonders räumlichen Vorstellungen und Forderungen beinhaltet. Relevant sind die Prozesse der Schaffung und der Aneignung des Raums, der hier als ein soziales Produkt verstanden wird, in dem soziale Praktiken und Prozesse stattfinden und der durch diese hergestellt wird. Azadi ermöglicht zum einen das Entwerfen von (T)räumen der Freiheit – also von utopischen Orten, die sowohl der Sinnstiftung als auch der Mobilisierung der Massen dienen. Diese Orte umfassen verschiedene Utopien, die jeweils auf verschiedenen Ideologien – seien sie national, sozialistisch oder religiös geprägt – aufbauen und dementsprechende Ziele verfolgen. Neben diesen sprachlich geäußerten Vorstellungen und einer versuchten Aneignung von Raum auf ideeller Ebene manifestieren sich Überzeugungen von Azadi auch in physisch-materiellen Räumen und machen aus diesen Orte des Widerstands. Dabei dienen Graffiti, Märtyrerfriedhöfe und Demonstrationen als Strategien zur Raumaneignung und Raumproduktion. Diese Strategien sind an die Gegebenheiten des überwachten und besetzten Raums in Kaschmir angepasst. Orte des Widerstands und utopische Orte beeinflussen sich wechselseitig. Beide sind das Produkt diskursiver Praktiken und dienen gleichzeitig als Ausgangspunkt zur kontinuierlichen Transformation derselben.

What Was Mughal Cuisine? Defining and Analysing a Culinary Culture
Creators: name: Narayanan, Divya
Publisher: name: Interdisziplinäre Zeitschrift für Südasienforschung
Year: 2016

description: This article aims at interrogating the problem of defining and analysing a culinary culture, with special reference to what may loosely be termed as ‘Mughal cuisine’. The essay begins with a discussion of the issues inherent to defining the boundaries of ‘Mughal cuisine’ in terms of what constitutes ‘Mughal’ and what may be classified as a ‘cuisine’. This is followed by a discussion of various anthropological approaches to analysing cuisine, with particular emphasis on structuralism and its critiques. The article then goes on to draw on works by Elisabeth Rozin and Richard Dawkins to formulate a ‘flavour meme’ concept as an alternative analytical paradigm. However, it is emphasised that this is not necessarily intended as a universal model to be applied without regard to historical and cultural context. The conclusion advocates that cuisine, as a phenomenon, be analysed as a transcultural process rather than as a structure.

Mega-Event Impact Assessment and Policy Attribution : Embedded Case Study, Social Housing, and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games
Creators: name: Pentifallo, Caitlin
name: VanWynsberghe, Robert
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Our objective is to present a novel approach and supplement to indicator-based impact assessment through the use of embedded case study. We will build a hybridized, methodological approach in order to extend the capacity, potential, and utility of the Olympic Games Impact (OGI) study as an evaluation framework and mechanism for attribution. Assessing the impact of a sport mega-event on its host through an existing framework such as the OGI study is a complex undertaking spanning multiple indicators, variables, and scales. Yet, despite the many challenges in assessing Olympic-induced changes in host cities, we believe it is possible to use indicator-based impact assessment to aid in the formation of not only impact assessment and policy attribution, but to develop a more contextualized approach to legacy creation, monitoring, and evaluation. To test this potential, we will explore the empirical data generated through the OGI study on Vancouver 2010’s social housing legacy on South East False Creek. Reconciling the quantitative information compiled by the OGI study with a more rigorous approach to qualitative, embedded case study will ideally allow for the more accurate and effective assessment of Olympic legacies and policy-making. It is our expectation that such an evaluation will prove sensitive to the political, economic, and social climate and context surrounding the hosting of the Olympic Games, and in so doing, provide added insight to the nature and formation of policy development and urban transformation in the context of an Olympic host city.

description: Nova shocks behave like scaled-down supernova remnant shocks with a lifetime of only a few weeks or months, thereby providing a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of non-relativistic shocks as well as the shock acceleration physics. Recently, GeV and TeV gamma-ray emissions from an outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi have been observed. The light curves of the gamma-ray emissions suggest that they arise from an external shock, which is formed as the nova ejecta interacts with the ambient medium. The shock is thought to transition from an adiabatic shock to a radiative one at later times, but no such later observations are available for RS Ophiuchi. The spectral evolution of the gamma-ray outburst of RS Ophiuchi was not well measured, and hence the related particle acceleration mechanisms are not well understood. T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is another recurrent nova in Milky Way and its last outburst was nearly ten times optically brighter than RS Ophiuchi. Recently the optical light curve of T CrB displayed a state transition behavior before the eruption, and it has been predicted that T CrB will undergo an outburst in the near future. By performing a theoretical investigation, we find that Fermi-LAT could probably capture the transition of the shock from the adiabatic phase to the radiative phase at the GeV band if the ambient wind medium is dense with $A_{\star}\geq1$. Due to its higher brightness, we also find that imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes such as MAGIC and VERITAS, and extensive air shower experiments such as LHAASO could detect the nova outburst and measure the gamma-ray spectrum in the very-high-energy ($>0.1\,{\rm TeV}$) band more precisely. This can be used to constrain the high-energy cutoff index in the accelerated proton spectrum and the acceleration efficiency, which will shed light on the particle acceleration physics in nova shocks.

description: For triangular lattice of particles, with nearest neighbour interactions and a traction free boundary, there exists a surface wave band for out-of-plane motion. Interactions between such a surface wave and stationary crack tip in mode III are investigated. Discrete Helmholtz equation for scattered waves, that incorporates an anisotropy parameter for unequal spring constants in horizontal versus slant directions, is solved exactly. The coefficient of transmission from one crack face to another, as well as that owing to reflection on the same face, is obtained in a closed form; the same leads to an estimate of energy fraction of incident wave that is leaked at the crack tip via bulk waves. It is found, in terms of surface wave band, that the transmission coefficient attains its maximum magnitude above the mid-band while the energy leak is minimum at upper-band limit. Besides surface wave propagation across crack tip, surface wave excitation due to incident bulk wave is also discussed.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Wave generation and transmission in multi-scale complex media and structured metamaterials (part 1)’.

We characterize the Radon-Nikodym property in terms of operators that attain their minimum norm and obtain some related results about the density of the sets $\operatorname{MA}(X,Y)$ and $\operatorname{QMA}(X,Y)$. We show that every infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ has an isomorphic space $Y$ such that not every operator from $X$ to $Y$ quasi attains its minimum norm. We introduce and study Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás type properties for the minimum norm, including the ones already considered in the literature, and we exhibit a wide variety of results and examples, as well as exploring the relations between them.

description: The innate immune system of the skin is thought to depend largely on a multi-layered mechanical barrier supplemented by epidermis-derived antimicrobial peptides. To date, there are no reports of antimicrobial antibody secretion by the epidermis. In this study, we report the expression of functional immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin A (IgA), previously thought to be only produced by B cells, in normal human epidermal cells and the human keratinocyte line HaCaT. While B cells express a fully diverse Ig, epidermal cell-expressed IgG or IgA showed one or two conservative VHDJH rearrangements in each individual. These unique VDJ rearrangements in epidermal cells were found neither in the B cell-derived Ig VDJ databases published by others nor in our positive controls. IgG and IgA from epidermal cells of the same individual had different VDJ rearrangement patterns. IgG was found primarily in prickle cells, and IgA was mainly detected in basal cells. Both epidermal cell-derived IgG and IgA showed potential antibody activity by binding pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, the most common pathogenic skin bacteria, but the microbial-binding profile was different. Our data indicates that normal human epidermal cells spontaneously express IgG and IgA, and we speculate that these Igs participate in skin innate immunity.

description: Magnetic imaging based on ensembles of diamond nitrogen-vacancy quantum sensors has emerged as a useful technique for the spatial characterisation of magnetic materials and current distributions. However, demonstrations have so far been restricted to laboratory-based experiments using relatively bulky apparatus and requiring manual handling of the diamond sensing element, hampering broader adoption of the technique. Here we present a simple, compact device that can be deployed outside a laboratory environment and enables robust, simplified operation. It relies on a specially designed sensor head that directly integrates the diamond sensor while incorporating a microwave antenna and all necessary optical components. This integrated sensor head is complemented by a small control unit and a laptop computer that displays the resulting magnetic image. We test the device by imaging a magnetic sample, demonstrating a spatial resolution of 4 $μ$m over a field of view exceeding 1 mm, and a best sensitivity of 45 $μ$T/$\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ per ($5\,μ$m)$^2$ pixel. Our portable magnetic imaging instrument may find use in situations where taking the sample to be measured to a specialist lab is impractical or undesirable.
The SALOME study: recruitment experiences in a clinical trial offering injectable diacetylmorphine and hydromorphone for opioid dependency

description: Background. The Study to Assess Long-term Opioid Medication Effectiveness (SALOME) is a two-stage phase III, single site (Vancouver, Canada), randomized, double blind controlled trial designed to test if hydromorphone is as effective as diacetylmorphine for the treatment of long-term illicit opioid injection. Recruiting participants for clinical trials continues to be a challenge in medical and addiction research, with many studies not being able to reach the planned sample size in a timely manner. The aim of this study is to describe the recruitment strategies in SALOME, which offered appealing treatments but had limited clinic capacity and no guaranteed post-trial continuation of the treatments. Methods SALOME included chronic opioid-dependent, current illicit injection opioid users who had at least one previous episode of opioid maintenance treatment. Regulatory approvals were received in June 2011 and recruitment strategies were implemented over the next 5 months. Recruitment strategies included ongoing open communication with the community, a consistent and accessible team and participant-centered screening. All applicants completed a pre-screening checklist to assess prerequisites. Applicants meeting these prerequisites were later contacted to commence the screening process. Results A total of 598 applications were received over the two-year recruitment period; 130 were received on the first day of recruitment. Of these applicants, 485 met prerequisites; however, many could not be found or were not reached before recruitment ended. For the 253 candidates who initiated the screening process, the average time lapse between application and screening date was 8.3 months (standard deviation [SD] = 4.44) and for the 202 randomized to the study, the average processing time from initial screen to randomization was 25.9 days (SD = 37.48; Median = 15.0). Conclusions As in prior trials offering injectable diacetylmorphine within a supervised model, recruiting participants for this study took longer than planned. The recruitment challenges overcome in SALOME were due to the high number of applicants compared with the limited number that could be randomized and treated. Our study emphasizes the value of integrating these strategies into clinical addiction research to overcome study-specific barriers. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01447212 .

Writing hegemonic masculinities: 'My Brother's War' and its exegesis
Creators: name: Hopkins, Scott
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Applying 'theory' to the creative process is an emerging field in humanities and social science research; the evolution and recognition of this 'practice-led research' is a major innovation in academic research circles. This PhD project uses both a creative thesis and a critical exegesis in its practice-led research exploration of 'hegemonic masculinities', a sociological framework not previously applied as a writer's tool. By deploying R. W. Connell's hegemonic masculinities to research and writing, both creative and academic, both thesis and exegesis presents insights into how theory informs and enriches the creative practitioner by making explicit the dynamics of the creative research process. The project traces the performative, social, and contextual confluences between theory and creativity, and highlights the basis of my self-reflexive understanding of hegemonic masculinities, especially as an artistic practice.

Crystal growth

description: Tungsten diselenide has gained much interest within recent years after it was reported to have both p-type and ambipolar transport properties. And because most other transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit n-type transport properties, tungsten diselenide would help to further realize CMOS technology if one could find a more reliable way to synthesize it in large areas with high quality crystallinity. In this report I will be detailing my work on successfully synthesizing WSe₂, its sulfurization into WS₂, and discussing what I’ve observed in both the crystal quality and growth mechanisms. My goal is to provide a better understanding of the growth process in hopes of moving forward with improving future growth recipes

description: The number of known globular clusters in the Galactic bulge has been increasing steadily thanks to different new surveys. The aim of this study is to provide a census of the newly revealed globular clusters in the Galactic bulge, and analyze their characteristics. In recent years, many globular clusters have been discovered or identified. The stellar populations to which they belong are indicated in their original studies: they are mostly bulge clusters, with some identified as disk or halo members. We collected 41 new globular clusters revealed in the last decade and compared them to the known bulge clusters. The new clusters are intrinsically faint with $M_V$ of around -6.0 mag. The distance to the Sun of the ensemble of well-known and new bulge clusters is compatible with the Galactocentric distance measurements from the Galactic black hole location. The ensemble sample shows metallicity peaks at [Fe/H] ~ -1.08 $\pm$ 0.35 and -0.51 $\pm$ 0.25 dex, confirming previous findings. The age-metallicity relation of the new clusters younger than 10 Gyr is compatible with that of the ex situ samples of the dwarf galaxies Sagittarius, Canis Majoris, and Gaia-Enceladus-Sausage. The clusters with ages between 11.5 and 13.5 Gyr show no age-metallicity relation, because they are all old. This is compatible with their formation in situ in the early Galaxy.

description: Altermagnetism, recently spotlighted in condensed matter physics, presents captivating physical properties and holds promise for spintronics applications. This study delves into the theoretical description and categorization of two-dimensional altermagnetism using spin group theory. Employing spin-group formalism, we establish seven distinct spin layer groups, extending beyond the conventional five spin Laue groups, to describe two-dimensional altermagnetism. Utilizing these findings, we classify previously reported two-dimensional altermagnets and identify novel materials exhibiting altermagnetism. Specifically, monolayer MnTeMoO$_6$ and VP$_2$H$_8$(NO$_4$)$_2$ are predicted to be two-dimensional altermagnets. Furthermore, we scrutinize their spin-momentum locking characteristics through symmetry analysis and density functional theory calculations, substantiating their altermagnetic properties.

description: Introduction: α-Synuclein (α-syn) is a key protein in Parkinson’s disease (PD), and one of its phosphorylated forms, pS129, is higher in PD patients than healthy controls. However, few studies have examined its levels in longitudinally collected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or in preclinical cases. In this study, CSF and clinical data were contributed by >300 subjects from three cohorts (the longitudinal DATATOP cohort, a large cross-sectional cohort, and a cohort of LRRK2 mutation carriers). Results Consistent with our previous observation that CSF pS129 positively correlated with Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) scores, CSF pS129 in the DATATOP cohort increased over approximately two years of disease progression (mean change 5.60 pg/ml, p = 0.050). Intriguingly, in the DATATOP cohort, pS129 negatively correlated with UPDRS scores at the baseline (R = −0.244, p = 0.017), but not final point, suggesting that this association may depend on disease stage. Reanalysis of our previous cohort with stratification by PD stage, and addition of a cohort of LRRK2 mutation carriers with very early/preclinical PD, supported the idea that the relationship between CSF pS129 and disease severity over a wider range of PD stages might be represented with a U-shaped curve, in which lower pS129 levels correlated with worse clinical condition at early stages, but better condition at later stages. Conclusion The observation of a negative-to-positive transition of correlation of pS129 to disease severity as PD progresses could have profound impact on how pS129 is used as a biomarker clinically as well as in modeling PD experimentally.

description: This work introduces ChemPlasKin, a freely accessible solver optimized for zero-dimensional (0D) simulations of chemical kinetics of neutral gas in non-equilibrium plasma environments. By integrating the electron Boltzmann equation solver, CppBOLOS, with the open-source combustion library, Cantera, at the source code level, ChemPlasKin computes time-resolved evolution of species concentration and gas temperature in a unified gas-plasma kinetics framework. The model allows high fidelity predictions of both chemical thermal effects and plasma-induced heating, including fast gas heating and slower vibrational-translational relaxation processes. Additionally, a new heat loss model is developed for nanosecond pulsed discharges, specifically within pin-pin electrode configurations. With its versatility, ChemPlasKin is well-suited for a wide range of applications, from plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) to fuel reforming. In this paper, the reliability, accuracy and efficiency of ChemPlasKin are validated through a number of test problems, demonstrating its utility in advancing gas-plasma kinetic studies.

Perfectionism and self-vulnerabilities in obsessive-compulsive and eating difficulties
Creators: name: Vormwald, Narisa
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Perfectionism is a well-documented vulnerability for development of numerous psychological disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder and disordered eating. Narisa's thesis identifies particular aspects of perfectionism that may influence the development of these disorders more than other aspects, as well as other self-vulnerabilities thought to underpin perfectionism. Narisa developed a model comparing the relative influence of general and specific perfectionism aspects and self-vulnerabilities with the severity of people's disorders. The findings of this thesis highlight important and specific aspects of perfectionism and self-vulnerability that may in future improve individualised cognitive therapies for treatment of people with OCD and disordered eating.

description: We perform a detailed dynamical system analysis for the behaviour of a Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) field in a spatially closed Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology. The DBI field is characterised by a potential and brane tension. We study power-law or exponential functions for the potential and tension. We find that in a spatially closed FLRW cosmology, a DBI field in the ultra-relativistic limit allows for a broader range of initial conditions resulting in a bouncing universe than in the non-relativistic limit. We further note that the range of initial conditions allowing for a bounce is larger if we consider power-law functions for the potential and tension, compared to the exponential case. Our dynamical analysis shows that a DBI field does not exhibit stable cyclical behaviour, including the case in which a negative cosmological constant is present.
