description: This dissertation contributes to the existing body of knowledge on ethical and investment exclusions. Accordingly, the first chapter examines the consequences of ethical exclusions from the point of view of excluded firms. Specifically, it makes use of the Norway GPFG's ethical exclusion announcements and documents a post-announcement negative return impact on firms' stock prices which is not reversed in the short term. Furthermore, I find that product exclusion announcements influence some ethics-sensitive investors who also divest negatively screened firms. Therefore, the chapter demonstrates that ethical exclusions can adversely affect firm equity value, at least in the short term. The second chapter examines the impact of sector exclusions on the portfolio of a long-term well-diversified investor. Using industry indices spanning 1900–2018, we identify a number of risks associated with sector exclusion strategies. Focusing on the part of the portfolio which is being substituted away from a given sector, we show that negative screenings can give rise to substantial drawdowns and unintended geographical tilts. We conclude that over the long run the consequences of sector exclusion for investors are likely to be non-trivial. The third chapter conducts a survey of industry professionals’ views on divestments. Respondents consider negative portfolio screenings most useful for attracting funds from ethically concerned investors and are least in favour of using them for risk management purposes. Furthermore, professionals express the lowest levels of disagreement about the expected returns of non-controversial sectors, relative to those of controversial sectors. We also classify respondents into clusters depending on their opinions regarding sector exclusions. Those who are divestment “sceptics” form risk estimates with higher resemblance to historic performances than divestment “devotees”. Overall, survey responses imply that exclusions scepticism does not stem from an expectation that controversial sectors have superior performance to non-controversial sectors.

description: We study particle - antiparticle pair production under action of a strong time dependent space homogeneous electric field at the presence of a collinear constant magnetic field. We derive the kinetic equation for a such field configuration for fermions and bosons in the framework of the Schwinger mechanism of vacuum tunneling. We show the enhancement of pair production for fermions with the increasing of the magnetic field as in the case of the constant electromagnetic field. We have constructed closed set of equations, which can be applied to some actual problems with manifestation of strong electromagnetic fields, e.g., it is essential in the framework of the Flux Tube Model of Quark - Gluon Plasma generation; for describing some cosmological objects and especially because of the planned experiments on creation of subcritical fields in the X-Free Electron Laser pulses.

description: Cohen's first model is a model of Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory in which there is a Dedekind-finite set of real numbers, and it is perhaps the most famous model where the Axiom of Choice fails. We force over this model to add a function from this Dedekind-finite set to some infinite ordinal $κ$. In the case that we force the function to be injective, it turns out that the resulting model is the same as adding $κ$ Cohen reals to the ground model, and that we have just added an enumeration of the canonical Dedekind-finite set. In the case where the function is merely surjective it turns out that we do not add any reals, sets of ordinals, or collapse any Dedekind-finite sets. This motivates the question if there is any combinatorial condition on a Dedekind-finite set $A$ which characterises when a forcing will preserve its Dedekind-finiteness or not add new sets of ordinals. We answer this question in the case of "Adding a Cohen subset" by presenting a varied list of conditions each equivalent to the preservation of Dedekind-finiteness. For example, $2^A$ is extremally disconnected, or $[A]^{

description: We show that Gribov diffusion of the partons in the impact parameter plane, which leads to the square-root-of-logarithmic growth of the transverse size of the hadrons, can occur only simultaneously with a similar diffusion in the transverse-momentum space. At the same time, a restriction of the partons in the transverse momenta entails an increase in their propagation in the impact parameter plane. Ultimately this leads to a logarithmic growth of the transverse size of hadrons at asymptotically high energies.

description: We study the relationship between the damping (alpha) and the nonadiabaticity of the spin transport (beta) in permalloy nanowires. alpha is engineered by Ho doping, and from the characteristics of the current-induced domain-wall velocity, determined by high-resolution x-ray magnetic circular-dichroism photoemission electron microscopy, beta due to spin relaxation is measured. We find that beta scales with alpha and conclude that the spin relaxation that leads to nonadiabatic spin torque originates from the same underlying mechanism as the angular momentum dissipation that causes viscous damping.
Investigating the modality specific cognitive abilities predictive of arithmetic competence, using a developmental trajectories approach

description: Mathematics is complex, with multiple cognitive abilities utilised to solve even relatively simple problems. Research highlights working memory, executive function, intelligence, and numerical acuity as possible predictors of mathematical ability however, findings are inconsistent. While the impact of modality of stimuli presentation has been investigated for working memory and intelligence, it is limited for executive functioning and numerical acuity, with much research focussed on atypical mathematical development, particularly populations with visuospatial deficits. The current study examines which modality specific cognitive abilities are predictive of arithmetic ability in three populations: the general population, girls with Turner syndrome, and children with maths learning disabilities (N = 214; M = 11.5 years, SD = 3.9) Phase one, a quasi-experimental study, investigates pathways between intelligence, executive functions, number cognition, and arithmetic competence in both auditory and visual modalities, for children (N = 182) across development (4- to 18- years; M = 11.6 years, SD = 4.1). Structural equation modelling highlighted direct paths between modality specific latent executive functioning and working memory variables, and arithmetic ability, with the visual latent variable showing the strongest associations (auditory: B = .40; visual: B = .57). Paths between intelligence and age were indirect. Given its complexity, looking to identify a single construct that underpins mathematical outcomes may be erroneous. Phase two looked to identify differential patterns of development between arithmetic and bimodal cognitive predictors, for each disorder group and a matched typically developing group (Turner syndrome: n = 32; typical development matched with Turner syndrome: n = 32; maths learning disability; n = 40; typical development matched with maths learning disability: n = 40), within a developmental trajectories approach. Despite similar difficulties in arithmetic, differential areas of deficit were observed. Deficits were related to both visual and verbal abilities. Findings highlight the importance of future research overtly considering modality when investigating the cognitive underpinnings of maths ability. Additionally, executive functioning and working memory were found to be a group of abilities with a strong association to arithmetic ability in both typical and atypical development.

description: The method of iterated conformal maps is developed for quasi-static fracture of brittle materials, for all modes of fracture. Previous theory, that was relevant for mode III only, is extended here to mode I and II. The latter require solution of the bi-Laplace rather than the Laplace equation. For all cases we can consider quenched randomness in the brittle material itself, as well as randomness in the succession of fracture events. While mode III calls for the advance (in time) of one analytic function, mode I and II call for the advance of two analytic functions. This fundamental difference creates different stress distribution around the cracks. As a result the geometric characteristics of the cracks differ, putting mode III in a different class compared to modes I and II.

description: We investigate the influence of environment on brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) evolution using a sample of 63 clusters at 0.3 < z < 0.9 drawn primarily from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey and follow-up V, I, and K' photometry. The luminosity evolution of the entire BCG sample is not adequately described by a single evolutionary model. Using the integrated light from the cluster detection as a proxy for cluster Lx and the suggestion by Burke, Collins, & Mann, we set Lx = 2 x 10^{44} ergs/s to be the division between high and low luminosity clusters. At high redshift (z>0.6) BCGs from low-Lx clusters are fainter, on average, than those from high-Lx clusters and are best modeled as having constant luminosity with redshift. The BCGs from high-Lx cluster are best modeled as having a stellar population that formed at large redshift (z_form > 5) and is passively evolving. However, for the entire BCG population, the observed V-I and I-K' colors are well described by a single evolutionary model in which the stellar populations have z_form > 5 and subsequently passively evolve. We conclude that accretion is proportionally more significant for BCGs in lower mass clusters at these redshifts (factor of 2 to 4 increase in mass since z ~ 1 for the low Lx systems) and that the accreted matter is in the form of systems with evolved stellar populations.

Epidemiological Association between Developmental PFHxS Exposures and ADHD in Childhood: Protocol For A Systematic Review of the Evidence

description: Globally, environmental toxic exposures are suspected risk factors for increased attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). As a major public health problem, up to 20% of adolescents and children are afflicted by this neurological disorder worldwide. The omnipresent family of chemicals known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can harm babies' brain development both in the womb and after gestation. Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS) is one of the most studied of the over four thousand PFAS. PFHxS is a human-made chemical that is found in our environment, posing a health risk to health. The potential for the pervasive exposure to PFHxS to deleteriously affect neurodevelopment outcomes is extensively reported. As a chemical that may harm neurodevelopment, PFHxS is a potential risk factor for ADHD. Being a quite common neurodevelopmental health outcome, ADHD is a serious concern in international public health. Globally, ADHD gives a serious financial burden on the population. Epidemiological evidence associates PFHxS exposures with ADHD. This manuscript presents a systematic review protocol to evaluate the human epidemiological evidence that associates exposure to PFHxS with children’s rates of the neurodevelopmental outcome ADHD to inform decision making by policymakers. The research question is:- is developmental exposure to PFHxS in humans associated with changes in quantitative measures of ADHD and attention-related behavioral conditions? The specific aims of the review are to: identify professional literature reporting the effects of developmental exposure to PFHxS on measures of ADHD and attention-related behavioral conditions, extract data on the effects of developmental exposure to PFHxS on alterations in ADHD and attention-related behavioral conditions from relevant studies., assess the internal validity (risk of bias) of relevant studies, summarize the extent of the available evidence, synthesize the evidence using a narrative approach or meta-analysis (if appropriate) considering limitations on data integration, such as study-design heterogeneity and rate the quality and strength of evidence. In short, due to ubiquitous exposure to PFHxS and epidemiological i.e., human neurodevelopmental and costly effects, we embark on this study to explore the evidence for an association between PFHxS and quantitative measures of ADHD attention-related problems e.g., response inhibition, impulsivity, inattention, or hyperactivity, to inform global health policy.

description: Risaliti, Lusso \& collaborators have constructed a high-redshift Hubble diagram of supernovae (SNe); quasars (QSO) and gamma-ray bursts (GRB) that shows a "$\sim 4 \, σ$ tension with the $Λ$CDM model" based on a log polynomial cosmographic expansion (Risaliti et.al 2018, Lusso et.al 2019). In this work, we demonstrate that the log polynomial expansion generically fails to recover flat $Λ$CDM beyond $z \sim 2$, thus undermining the $\sim 4 \, σ$ tension claim. Moreover, through direct fits of both the flat $Λ$CDM and the log polynomial model to the SNe+QSO+GRB dataset, we confirm that the flat $Λ$CDM model is preferred. Ultimately, we trace the tension to the QSO data and show that a best-fit of the flat $Λ$CDM model to the QSO data leads to a flat $Λ$CDM Universe with no dark energy within $1 \, σ$. This marks an irreconcilable tension between the Risaliti-Lusso QSOs and flat $Λ$CDM.

description: This dissertation examines political consumerism using a social movement theory approach. It investigates the origins of Islamic consumer campaigns aimed at changing Muslim consumer behaviour, and integrating them into European societies. It draws upon the ‘framing perspective’ within social movement theory to analyse how Islamic campaigners promote the values of environmentalism, animal welfare, and fair trade in the UK, Germany, and Egypt. This dissertation argues that Muslim minorities in Europe frame a conventionally secular moral concern as a religious duty in order to connect Islam to contemporary consumption values. In the Muslim majority country of Egypt, these same consumption values are promoted based on secular ethics rather than religion. Based on the analysis of in-depth semi-structured interviews and campaign documents, posters, websites, events, and conferences, this dissertation demonstrates how the overall goal of these framing processes is to align Muslim consumer behaviour with ethical consumer campaigns in order to assimilate Muslims in Europe without undermining the guiding role of religion. It also aims at integrating Muslims into European culture by highlighting Islam’s potential as a catalyst for positive behaviour.

The Distance to Clusters: Correcting for Asphericity

Year: 2001

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect observations can be combined to measure the distance to clusters of galaxies. If the intracluster gas distribution is not spherical, but elongated by a factor of Z along the line of sight, the inferred distance is increased by Z, and H0 is decreased by the same factor. Averaging the inferred value of H0 over a sufficiently large sample of clusters can reduce any systematic bias due to cluster shapes, provided the clusters are selected without any preferred orientation. Even so, elongation contributes significantly to the variance in the measured distances and in the inferred value of H0. With the addition of gravitational lensing observations, it is possible to infer the three-dimensional shape of clusters, provided the gas is in hydrostatic equilibrium. We demonstrate a specific method for finding the shape and correcting the measured distances to individual clusters. To test this method, we apply it to artificial observations of simple model clusters. We recover the true distances to each of our clusters without detectable bias, and with statistical errors due to measurement uncertainties of 4 to 6%.

In-medium spectral change of omega mesons as a probe of QCD four-quark condensate

description: Within QCD sum rules at finite baryon density we show the crucial role of four-quark condensates for the in-medium modification of the omega meson spectral function. In particular, such a global property as the sign of the in-medium omega meson mass shift is found to be governed by a parameter which describes the strength of the density dependence of the four-quark condensate beyond mean-field approximation. To study self-consistently the broadening of the omega meson resonance we employ a hadron spectral function based on the omega meson propagator delivered by an effective chiral Lagrangian. Measurements of the omega meson spectral change in heavy-ion collisions with the HADES detector can reveal the yet unknown density dependence of the four-quark condensate.

description: In this paper, we compute the distributions of the statistic number of crossings over permutations avoiding one of the pairs $\{321,231\}$, $\{123,132\}$ and $\{123,213\}$. The obtained results are new combinatorial interpretations of two known triangles in terms of restricted permutations statistic. For other pairs of patterns of length three, we find relationships between the polynomial distributions of the crossings over permutations that avoid the pairs containing the pattern 231 on the first hand and the pattern 312 on the other hand.

description: The Internet gives patients the opportunity to be better informed, have ownership over their data, and, therefore, be empowered in the medical decision-making process. All of these new forms of patient empowerment through eHealth, however, require the patients’ trust in online service. Existing literature provides a solid foundation regarding the development of trust in social encounters. What is more, the understanding of trust related to more general online services, such as e-commerce is advanced, too. Regarding eHealth in particular, however, there are substantial gaps in the literature. What is more, all existing studies have one pitfall in common. None of them investigates trust as a reciprocal, evolving system that is based on recurring interactions between trustee and truster. Studies either focus on the individual view of the trustee or the truster but fail to analyse the potential dynamics of a trust signal and its evolution. This led me to research questions that aim to identify trust-evoking factors specific to eHealth, on the one hand, and develop an understanding of the evolution and sustainability of communication between trustee and truster. I applied a mixed-methods approach in order to answer my research questions. This allowed me to use qualitative methods to explore a variety of trust antecedents that are unique to eHealth, develop hypotheses, and then test the derived hypotheses through a quantitative study. One surprising insight of this study is that the risk perception of the overall service offer can determine the level of trust in a service even before entering the website. Risk perception proved to be a more crucial indicator of perceived trustworthiness than presence of trust signals on the website. This allows the conclusion that both researchers and policy makers should differentiate between high-risk and low-risk eHealth services instead of approaching all services under the unifying umbrella of eHealth. Another key finding is that users judge the trustworthiness of eHealth websites depending on their “fit”. For eHealth providers that means that in order to increase trust in their service they need to mimic the offline experience as much as possible.

description: This paper discusses the results from the maintenance evaluation of Engineered Material Arresting System (EMAS) at three U.S. airports: Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU), SC, Roanoke Regional Airport (ROA), VA, and Burbank Airport (BUR), CA. EMAS is a softer ground aircraft arresting system approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to stop overrunning aircraft. In numerous occasions, this system has successfully demonstrated its ability in arresting overrunning aircraft at many U.S. airports. To date, there is only one manufacturer that produces EMAS products in the U.S., so EMAS-related information in design, construction, and maintenance activities are proprietary and remained largely unknown. Some financial concerns and relevant maintenance issues have been raised by airport sponsors and authorities. Airport operators, engineers, and maintenance crews have found EMAS to be challenging to airport operations and maintenance activities. This paper investigates some of the existing issues with in-place Engineered Material Arresting System at three U.S. airports. The objective of the paper is to identify potential issues regarding the installation and maintenance activities of EMAS at airports so that further improvements can be taken. Investigation efforts were implemented through airfield site visit, telephone interviews, and email survey with airport personnel. The contents of the survey consisted of EMAS dimensions, construction costs and periods, maintenance activities and encountered issues, and expectations/recommendations for existing EMAS. Surveyed data and information were analyzed to identify issues of EMAS that airport authorities are currently dealing with. It was found that existing EMAS works well in decelerating overrunning aircraft, but the cost and maintenance issues presented in three airports need to be improved in order for this type of safety system to be more widely used. Two materials have been recommended as promising alternatives thus allowing airport authorities and transportation agencies to pursue financially feasible and workable alternatives. This paper subsequently evaluates and compares the material characteristics, performance, and commercial availabilities between current EMAS and promising alternatives. Comparisons and recommendations are conducted to provide airport authorities and interested agencies with background information of EMAS, material aspects of alternatives, and design criteria of existing EMAS as they are dealing with safety issues and searching available alternatives.

 Type locality. " Rio Fresco, près Rufisque " and "un lieu dit "Caca Muerca", près Majumba", (Richard 1892c). The former now is in Senegal; the latter now is in Gabon.
 Richard's specimens. A few females from samples DGF 854 from “Fr. Eq. Africa” (no further information).
 Samples DGF 855 and DGF 865 from “Caca Muerca. Fr. Eq. Africa” do not contain this taxon. Samples DGF 708 and DGF 883 from “Mayoumba. Congo, Fr. Eq. Africa” are no longer in the collection but did not contain Macrothrix sp. according to David Frey’s card. There are no Macrothrix in any of the samples from Senegal.
 Comments. A junior synonym of M. triserialis according to Smirnov (1992). However, Dumont et al. (2002) and Kotov et al. (2004) believe that specimens reported as " M. triserialis " constitute a large assemblage of sibling species. The status of different African populations of M. cf. triserialis should be reconciled with specimens from type locality.

description: The subject of our study consisted of designing, using a method oriented towards the user’s pleasure, a demonstration model (non airborne) for a French aeronautical group. In this article we will explain how we have designed an aircraft cockpit based on the pleasurable aspects of the pilot’s activity. Then we tried to compare the notions of pleasure identified in the activity of flying a plane, aspects symbolizing the stronger sensations and the aspects of tranquillity and avoidance. We have attempted to formally translate this analogy, whilst respecting the design rules of ergonomics and current official aeronautical rules.

description: Nowadays, mobile telephony interruptions in our daily life activities are common because of the inappropriate ringing notifications of incoming phone calls in different contexts. Such interruptions may impact on the work attention not only for the mobile phone owners but also the surrounding people. Decision tree is the most popular machine learning classification technique that is used in existing context-aware mobile intelligent interruption management (MIIM) model to overcome such issues. However, a single decision tree based context-aware model may cause overfitting problem and thus decrease the prediction accuracy of the inferred model. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an ensemble machine learning based context-aware mobile telephony model for the purpose of intelligent interruption management by taking into account multi-dimensional contexts and name it "E-MIIM". The experimental results on individuals' real life mobile telephony datasets show that our E-MIIM model is more effective and outperforms existing MIIM model for predicting and managing individual's mobile telephony interruptions based on their relevant contextual information.

description: One of the most intriguing problem of modern physics is the question of the endpoint of black hole evaporation. Based on Einstein-dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet four dimensional string gravity model we show that black holes do not disappear and that the end of the evaporation process leaves some relic. The possibility of experimental detection of the remnant black holes is investigated. If they really exist, such objects could be a considerable part of the non baryonic dark matter in our Universe.

description: This thesis explores the relationship between food and religion in the European Reformations, through the comparative case studies of Protestant England and Catholic Italy, c. 1560 - c. 1640. It seeks to answer two broad interrelated questions: how did Protestants and Catholics understand food and eating in relation to their faith; and how did Protestants and Catholics differ in terms of what, how, and where they ate in practice. As such an essential feature of everyday life, a focus on food makes a significant contribution to the most recent concerns of historians of the Reformations, who are increasingly interested in lay lived religion rather than seeking top-down narratives to explain religious change. Through consumption food literally becomes a part of the self. Accordingly, the thesis uniquely employs both theological and physiological texts to reveal how food related to key ontological questions regarding the interaction between matter, the body, sensation, and the spiritual realm. The thesis also adds to the burgeoning interdisciplinary field of food studies, which has unequivocally shown that what people eat and how they eat it are principal in the creation and expression of group identities. The thesis argues that food - both in terms of ideas and practice - was a central and so-far overlooked feature of Protestant and Catholic identities in early modern Europe, which helped to draw the confessional divisions of the Reformations. It is based on a range of material in print and in manuscript form from across England and Italy. Sources can broadly be divided into those relating to the enforcement of religious reform (sermons, theological tracts, and church visitation records); those prescribing food practices (recipe books, medicinal literature, and guidebooks); and those evidencing actual consumption (account books from households, guilds, and churches, and Inquisition records); whilst material culture spans all three sections.
