Applying social-ecological systems thinking to the urban quarter of old Sana'a and its associated garden
Creators: name: Al-Sallal, Iman Khaled
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: For centuries, the urban quarter of the old city of Sana’a along with its accompanying garden followed an exclusively traditional way of life that was contained within the quarter’s bounds and which involved a high degree of mutually beneficial and co-evolving interactions between partnered human and natural systems. The waqf foundation was in charge of ensuring that water supply was continuously available and abundant for the gardeners, who were responsible for irrigating the garden and sustaining water sources. The garden’s produce supported the gardeners’ families and the city’s central market. In return, it received its source of nutrients from the solid waste of the quarter’s inhabitants and livestock through a sophisticated sewage system. With the arrival of modernization, the essential role that the urban garden held began to wane and dwindle until the garden was no longer able to provide for the quarter. As such, this thesis provides solutions that aim to restore the quarter to the vibrant and dynamic state that it once possessed in the past by critically examining its changing nature over time through the lens of social-ecological systems, one of regenerative design’s fundamental principles. The inspection uncovered a complex portrayal of interrelationships and cross-interactions between ecological elements and social groups within the quarter, and between it and new Sana’a. The resulting conclusions primarily deduced that the deterioration of the urban quarter’s social-ecological system originates from the mishandling of water and food sources by authoritative groups. Furthermore, while many of regenerative design’s core principles are universal, all have been primarily executed in North America and there have been no efforts to explore how they would unfold in a different cultural context. Also, there exists a small number of scholarly works that investigate the notion of social-ecological systems in relation to the built environment. By addressing these issues, this thesis discovered that the notion of religion and the design of water and waste systems majorly influence the quarter’s functionality thereby providing valuable insights that reveal how the concepts of culture and social-ecological systems within the built environment are significant for the progression of regenerative design theory.
Conservation law of operator current in open quantum systems

description: We derive a fundamental conservation law of operator current for master equations describing reduced quantum systems. If this law is broken, the temporal integral of the current operator of an arbitrary system observable does not yield in general the change of that observable in the evolution. We study Lindblad-type master equations as examples and prove that the application of the secular approximation during their derivation results in a violation of the conservation law. We show that generally any violation of the law leads to artificial corrections to the complete quantum dynamics, thus questioning the accuracy of the particular master equation.

description: We consider measure-valued processes $X=(X_t)$ that solve the following martingale problem: for a given initial measure $X_0$, and for all smooth, compactly supported test functions $φ$, \begin{eqnarray*}X_t(φ)=X_0(φ)+\frac{1}{2}\int _0^tX_s(Δφ)\,ds+θ\int_0^tX_s(φ)\,ds\\{}-\int_0^tX_s(L_sφ)\,ds+M_t(φ).\end{eqnarray*} Here $L_s(x)$ is the local time density process associated with $X$, and $M_t(φ)$ is a martingale with quadratic variation $[M(φ)]_t=\int_0^tX_s(φ^2)\,ds$. Such processes arise as scaling limits of SIR epidemic models. We show that there exist critical values $θ_c(d)\in(0,\infty)$ for dimensions $d=2,3$ such that if $θ>θ_c(d)$, then the solution survives forever with positive probability, but if $θ

description: Context Focal post-traumatic acute pancreatitis causing combined duodenal and biliary obstruction is extremely rare. Case report A 16-year-old boy presented with acute upper abdominal pain which was clinically and biochemically consistent with mild acute pancreatitis. There was no etiological factor identified initially, although a history of blunt abdominal trauma was later discovered. He soon developed features of gastric outlet obstruction and obstructive jaundice over 48 hours. A CT scan showed a retroduodenal mass causing compression of both the duodenum and bile duct. At exploration, this was found to be a walled off hematoma. There was evidence of focal pancreatitis in the head of pancreas. Evacuation of the hematoma cured the gastric outlet and biliary obstruction. Conclusion The triad of pancreatitis, gastric outlet and biliary obstruction along with a mass lesion on cross sectional imaging in young adults should raise the suspicion of a hematoma as a probable cause.

description: Context Overwhelming post-splenectomy sepsis is defined as septicaemia and/or meningitis, usually fulminant, occurring days to several years after removal of the spleen. We report a case of a fulminant pneumococcal sepsis with a fatal outcome, occurring 11 years after distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Case report A 58-year-old woman presented to the emergency room in December 2011 with a 2-day history of mild fever and diarrhea, followed by hypotension, dyspnea, and peripheral cyanosis. Past medical history revealed a left breast quadrantectomy for lobular carcinoma, and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy for ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma in October 2000. The patient was not aware of the need for prophylactic antibiotics and vaccination after splenectomy. At admission, blood tests revealed abnormal coagulation screen, abnormal liver and kidney function, and metabolic acidosis. Despite the administration of intravenous fluid, vasopressor agents, antibiotics and mechanical ventilatory support, the patient died for multiorgan failure 7 hours after admission in intensive care unit. Blood culture showed the growth of Streptococcus pneumonia. Necropsy showed multiorgan failure with adrenal necrotic hemorrhage due to pneumococcal septicemia. No recurrence of pancreatic cancer was noted. Conclusions Overwhelming post-splenectomy sepsis is a well-known fatal complication which can occur in asplenic patients. The role of vaccination and antibiotics in preventing such complication is well-defined, but cases of fatal post-splenectomy sepsis are still reporting, also in vaccinated patients. High index of suspicion must be maintained for any febrile illness in asplenic patients.

description: In this paper we prove some divisibility properties of the cardinality of elliptic curves modulo primes. These proofs explain the good behavior of certain parameters when using Montgomery or Edwards curves in the setting of the elliptic curve method (ECM) for integer factorization. The ideas of the proofs help us to find new families of elliptic curves with good division properties which increase the success probability of ECM.

description: We report long-range ordered antiferromagnetism concomitant with local iron displacements in the spin-ladder compound BaFe$_2$Se$_3$. Short-range magnetic correlations, present at room temperature, develop into long-range antiferromagnetic order below T$_N$ = 256 K, with no superconductivity down to 1.8 K. Built of ferromagnetic Fe$_4$ plaquettes, the magnetic ground state correlates with local displacements of the Fe atoms. These iron displacements imply significant magnetoelastic coupling in FeX$_4$-based materials, an ingredient hypothesized to be important in the emergence of superconductivity. This result also suggests that knowledge of these local displacements is essential for properly understanding the electronic structure of these systems. As with the copper oxide superconductors two decades ago, our results highlight the importance of reduced dimensionality spin ladder compounds in the study of the coupling of spin, charge, and atom positions in superconducting materials.

We study a "smoothed" version of this problem and ask whether there is a "barrier" $b$ such that $ \mathbb{E}[\exp(-λ\int_0^tψ(B_s-b(s))\,ds)]=\mathbb{P}\{ζ>t\}$, where $λ$ is a killing rate parameter, and $ψ:\mathbb{R}\to[0,1]$ is a nonincreasing function.

In particular, we show that the simplest possible fundamental equation, which corresponds in GTD to a system with no internal thermodynamic interaction, describes the different fluids of the standard model of cosmology. In addition, a particular fundamental equation with internal thermodynamic interaction is shown to generate a new cosmological model that correctly describes the dark sector of the Universe and contains as a special case the generalized Chaplygin gas model.

Praxis and Logos. The Archetype of Human Transformation in Słowacki and Norwid
Creators: name: Ciccarini, Marina
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2019

description: Post-Hegelian philosophy and French utopian socialism find a point of convergence in the so-called ‘philosophy of action’ that was devised in Poland. Its implications were both original and fruitful, and represent the underlying doctrinal theory of the poetics of several writers of Polish literary romanticism. This article analyzes the presence of some instances of the philosophical system of August von Cieszkowski in the poetics of C.K. Norwid and J. Słowacki. Special emphasis is placed on some affinities between these two writers, concerning the figure of Christ-Truth-Love, eternal Logos, that resolves the contradiction between the immanent and the transcendent, and the asymmetric relationship with God, an absolute mystery. Christ is the truth revealed and the reason for salvation ‘here and now’, either when man should follow him with his cross, as Norwid would contend, or when he should imitate him through martyrdom, as put forth by Słowacki, for example in The Constant Prince.

description: We consider a metallic wire coupled to two metallic electrodes via two junctions placed nearby. A bias voltage applied to one of such junctions alters the electron distribution function in the wire in the vicinity of another junction thus modifying both its noise and the Coulomb blockade correction to its conductance. We evaluate such interaction corrections to both local and non-local conductances demonstrating non-trivial Coulomb anomalies in the system under consideration. Experiments on non-local electron transport with Coulomb effects can be conveniently used to test inelastic electron relaxation in metallic conductors at low temperatures.

description: The Hadamard maximal determinant (maxdet) problem is to find the maximum determinant D(n) of a square {+1, -1} matrix of given order n. Such a matrix with maximum determinant is called a saturated D-optimal design. We consider some cases where n > 2 is not divisible by 4, so the Hadamard bound is not attainable, but bounds due to Barba or Ehlich and Wojtas may be attainable. If R is a matrix with maximal (or conjectured maximal) determinant, then G = RR^T is the corresponding Gram matrix. For the cases that we consider, maximal or conjectured maximal Gram matrices are known. We show how to generate many Hadamard equivalence classes of solutions from a given Gram matrix G, using a randomised decomposition algorithm and row/column switching. In particular, we consider orders 26, 27 and 33, and obtain new saturated D-optimal designs (for order 26) and new conjectured saturated D-optimal designs (for orders 27 and 33).

description: Context Pancreatic and peripancreatic tuberculosis in immunocompetent patients is extremely rare. It often mimics pancreatic malignancy. Majority of the cases are diagnosed after an image guided biopsy or after an operation. Case report We report three cases of pancreatic tuberculosis in immunocompetent patients. All three cases were diagnosed without laparotomy. Diagnosis was made by contrast enhanced computed tomography or endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of the peripancreatic mass and all three cases were treated successfully with antituberculous drugs. Conclusion Pancreatic and peripancreatic tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a peripancreatic mass when the patient is young, residing in the endemic zone of tuberculosis or had past history of tuberculosis. Extensive necrosis of peripancreatic lymph nodes with rim enhancement further supports the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Every attempt should be made to diagnose the cases before start of therapy to prevent unnecessary operation.

She had no history of gallstones, alcohol abuse, medications or any other predisposition for acute pancreatitis. Further investigations of blood, CT of chest abdomen and neck and ultrasound scan of abdomen, bone marrow and neck lymph node biopsies confirmed advanced small cell carcinoma of the lung with hypercalcemia, which was the only definite cause of acute pancreatitis. The patient made good recovery from pancreatitis after controlling the hypercalcemia. She was referred to respiratory team for further management of lung cancer. Conclusion Acute pancreatitis due to hypercalcemia of advanced small cell carcinoma of the lung is an extremely rare condition. Acute pancreatitis due to hypercalcemia should be thoroughly investigated to exclude serious pathology as in our case.

description: Context Brunner’s gland hyperplasia is a rare, benign, proliferative disorder of the duodenum. Large masses may cause obstructive and compressive symptoms which may depend upon the location of the tumour. Owing to its rarity, these lesions can be mistaken for malignancy on radiological and endoscopic examinations. Symptomatic Brunner’s gland hyperplasia associated with pancreatitis is very rare and the literature is limited to a few case reports endoscopic ultrasound may be useful to obtain a correct diagnosis. Case report We describe an unusual case of diffuse Brunner’s gland hyperplasia of duodenum mimicking a malignancy involving the pancreas, in which EUS-FNA avoided a possible major surgery. Conclusion Brunner’s gland hyperplasia imaging is very similar to malignant pancreatic mass; EUS with FNA is mandatory to reach a correct diagnosis, avoiding surgery.

Transport and dispersion of particles in visco-plastic fluids
Creators: name: Hormozi, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis focuses on development of a model to predict “spreading” of the solids (i.e. proppant) fraction during the fracturing operation. We develop a 1D model that allows us to estimate dispersion of solid particles along a vertical pipe in a fully turbulent flow of a shear thinning yield stress fluid (i.e., visco-plastic fluid), as well as slip relative to the mean flow. In dimensionless form, this results in a quasilinear advection-diffusion equation. Advection by the mean flow, particle settling relative to the mean, in the direction of gravity, turbulent particle dispersivity and Taylor dispersion are the 4 main transport phenomena modelled in the 1D model. We provide a simple analysis of the 1D model, suitable for spreadsheet-type field design purposes, in which we estimate “mixing lengths” due to both settling and dispersion. Secondly, we provide an accurate numerical algorithm for solution of the 1D model and show how pulses of proppant (i.e. slugs) may or may not interact for typical process parameters.

description: A noise is a kind of homomorphism from a Boolean algebra of domains to the lattice of $σ$-fields. Leaving aside the homomorphism we examine its image, a Boolean algebra of $σ$-fields. The largest extension of such Boolean algebra of $σ$-fields, being well-defined always, is a complete Boolean algebra if and only if the noise is classical, which answers an old question of J. Feldman.

description: (Abridged) Long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies might open a short-cut to the characteristics of typical star-forming galaxies throughout the history of the Universe. Due to the absence of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, however, detailed investigations, specifically a determination of the gas-phase metallicity of gamma-ray burst hosts, was largely limited to redshifts z < 1 to date. Here, we report observations of the galaxy hosting GRB 080605 at z = 1.64 using optical/NIR spectroscopy and high-resolution HST/WFC3 imaging. We avail of VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy to measure the metallicity, electron density, star-formation rate (SFR), and reddening of the host. Specifically, we use different strong-line diagnostics based on [N II] to robustly measure the gas-phase metallicity for the first time for a GRB host at this redshift. The host of the energetic (E_iso ~ 2 x 10^53 erg) GRB 080605 is a morphologically complex, vigorously star-forming galaxy with an Hα-derived SFR of 31 M_sun/yr. Its ISM is significantly enriched with metals with an oxygen abundance between 8.3 and 8.6 depending on the adopted strong-line calibrator. This corresponds to values in the range of 0.4-0.8 times the solar value. For its measured stellar mass of 8 x 10^9 M_sun and SFR this value is consistent with the fundamental metallicity relation defined by star-forming field galaxies. Our observations directly illustrate that GRB hosts are not necessarily metal-poor, both on absolute scales as well as relative to their stellar mass and SFR. GRB hosts could thus be fair tracers of the population of ordinary star-forming galaxies as a whole at high redshift.

Burden and cardiovascular impact of depression in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis : a population-based study
Creators: name: Burns, Lindsay Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Introduction: Psoriasis (PsC) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) represent common, lifelong inflammatory diseases of the skin and joints (respectively) with substantial cardiovascular morbidity. Considering the important deleterious impact that depression can have on disease complications and long-term health outcomes, we investigated the population burden of physician-diagnosed depression among individuals with PsC and PsA and the potential long-term impact of depression on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) risk in this patient population. Objectives: 1) To evaluate the incidence and prevalence of depression in the context of PsC and PsA; 2) To compare the odds of depression among individuals with PsC and PsA to healthy controls; 3) To determine whether depression is an independent risk factor for AMI in PsC and PsA; and 4) To determine whether depression modifies the risk of AMI associated with PsC and PsA. Methods: Epidemiologic methods were used to address Objectives 1-4 based on population-based cohorts of PsC and PsA patients compared to age-, sex-, and index date-matched controls. Results: 1) The incidence of depression among individuals with PsC and PsA was 3.35 per 1,000 person-years (PY) and the corresponding prevalence during a mean observation period of 4.8 years was 24.63%; 2) There was a 16% increased odds of depression among individuals with PsC and PsA compared to controls; 3) Incident depression increased the risk of incident AMI by 75% in PsC and PsA, and; 4) An increased risk of AMI among individuals with PsC and PsA was observed among individuals with prevalent depression (i.e., depression modified the effect). Conclusion: These population-based data provide evidence for a substantial burden and increased odds of depression in PsC and PsA compared to controls. Depression was observed to be an independent risk factor for AMI among patients with PsC and PsA. Moreover, depression acted as an effect modifier for AMI in the context of PsC and PsA, such that PsC and PsA only led to an increased risk of AMI among individuals with depression. These data underscore the need to actively screen for depression among PsC and PsA patients and closely monitor cardiovascular health in this high-risk group to improve long-term survival.

La parità tra donne e uomini, valore utopico del secolo passato o orizzonte dell’universale a-venire? «Acquis» e sfide dell’ordine internazionale ed europeo in un’epoca di crisi globale

description: Sostanziale, reale, la parità di genere è un valore universale, principio e diritto uma-no, proclamato ed imposto da strumenti vincolanti a livello internazionale ed europeo, che ne richiedono l‟effettiva promozione in tutti i campi, stabiliscono il carattere univer-sale e non negoziabile dei diritti umani, inclusa la parità di genere e i diritti delle donne, ed escludono nel modo più assoluto che si possano invocare usanze o tradizioni etniche, culturali o religiose per ostacolarne l‟esercizio. Questo contributo ricorda la ricchezza e i limiti di questo «acquis» internazionale ed europeo in materia di parità di genere, oggi messa seriamente a rischio, sottolineando, a tal proposito, la recente mobilitazione del movimento delle donne e della società civile. L‟attenzione è posta sul diffondersi del re-lativismo culturale, sul sorgere del fondamentalismo religioso e sui tentativi in costante aumento e spesso violenti di distruggere i principi democratici e il ruolo della legge, che si manifestano a livello internazionale, europeo, nazionale e locale, minacciando l‟uguale godimento dei diritti umani da parte delle donne e degli uomini, delle ragazze e dei ragazzi; la propensione ad adottare misure di governance economica di carattere e-sclusivamente monetarista e ad ignorare la dimensione sociale della crisi economica e finanziaria globale, in crescita anche in Europa, a discapito della coesione sociale e del-la crescita. Il contributo sostiene l‟urgente richiesta della società civile che tutti gli attori della comunità internazionale si oppongano con forza a queste tendenze e tentativi, e adottino un‟agenda anti-crisi che sia giusta socialmente e rispettosa dei diritti fonda-mentali, specialmente dei diritti delle donne, così che l‟acquisizione universale nei dirit-ti umani sia salvaguardata e si promuova l‟applicazione degli strumenti sopraindicati.

description: We examine the transmission through nonideal microwave resonant circuits. The general analytical resonance line shape is derived for both inductive and capacitive coupling with mismatched input and output transmission impedances, and it is found that for certain non-ideal conditions the line shape is asymmetric. We describe an analysis method for extracting an accurate internal quality factor ($Q_i$), the Diameter Correction Method (DCM), and compare it to the conventional method used for millikelvin resonator measurements, the $ϕ$ Rotation Method ($ϕ$RM). We analytically find that the $ϕ$RM deterministically overestimates $Q_i$ when the asymmetry of the resonance line shape is high, and that this error is eliminated with the DCM. A consistent discrepancy between the two methods is observed when they are used to analyze both simulations from a numerical linear solver and data from asymmetric coplanar superconducting thin-film resonators.

description: The OPERA collaboration has claimed evidence of superluminal ν{_μ} propagation between CERN and the LNGS. Cohen and Glashow argued that such neutrinos should lose energy by producing photons and e+e- pairs, through Z0 mediated processes analogous to Cherenkov radiation. In terms of the parameter delta=(v^2_nu-v^2_c)/v^2_c, the OPERA result implies delta = 5 x 10^-5. For this value of δa very significant deformation of the neutrino energy spectrum and an abundant production of photons and e+e- pairs should be observed at LNGS. We present an analysis based on the 2010 and part of the 2011 data sets from the ICARUS experiment, located at Gran Sasso National Laboratory and using the same neutrino beam from CERN. We find that the rates and deposited energy distributions of neutrino events in ICARUS agree with the expectations for an unperturbed spectrum of the CERN neutrino beam. Our results therefore refute a superluminal interpretation of the OPERA result according to the Cohen and Glashow prediction for a weak current analog to Cherenkov radiation. In particular no superluminal Cherenkov like e+e- pair or gamma emission event has been directly observed inside the fiducial volume of the "bubble chamber like" ICARUS TPC-LAr detector, setting the much stricter limit of delta < 2.5 10^-8 at the 90% confidence level, comparable with the one due to the observations from the SN1987A.
