description: The properties of mixed eigenstates in a generic quantum system with classical counterpart that has mixed-type phase space, although important to understand several fundamental questions that arise in both theoretical and experimental studies, are still not clear. Here, following a recent work [Č.~Lozej {\it et al}. Phys. Rev. E {\bf 106}, 054203 (2022)], we perform an analysis of the features of mixed eigenstates in a time-dependent Hamiltonian system, the celebrated kicked top model. As a paradigmatic model for studying quantum chaos, kicked top model is known to exhibit both classical and quantum chaos. The types of eigenstates are identified by means of the phase space overlap index, which is defined as the overlap of the Husimi function with regular and chaotic regions in classical phase space. We show that the mixed eigenstates appear due to various tunneling precesses between different phase space structures, while the regular and chaotic eigenstates are, respectively, associated with invariant tori and chaotic component in phase space. We examine how the probability distribution of the phase space overlap index evolves with increasing system size for different kicking strengths. In particular, we find that the relative fraction of mixed states exhibits a power-law decay as the system size increases, indicating that only purely regular and chaotic eigenstates are left in the strict semiclassical limit. We thus provide further verification of the principle of uniform semiclassical condensation of Husimi functions and confirm the correctness of the Berry-Robnik picture.

title: A historico-comparative study of Zambian Plateau Tonga and seven related lects.
Creators: name: Hachipola, Jerome Simooya
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1991

description: The aim of this thesis is a historico-comparative study of Zambian Plateau Tonga (Guthrie's M 64) and seven related lects (Valley, Toka, Ila, Lenje, Soli, Subiya and Totela). Some previous studies have treated Subiya and Totela as a distinct subfamily of Bantu (Guthrie's K 40), while others agree in attaching it to M 60; SI has also been associated with Lunda (Guthrie's L 51) and Luvale (Guthrie's K 14). The present study is based on wordlists of some 650 items Including Swadesh's 200-wordlist of basic vocabulary collected for each of the lects during a five-month field trip to Zambia in 1987. The study examines this data both synchronically (Chapter 2) and diachronically, attempting to reconstruct an inventory of Proto-Tonga consonant and vowel phonemes (Chapters 3) and relating this to Guthrie's Proto-Bantu (Chapter 5). Hierachically two broad subdivisions of the Tonga lects can be made Subiya and Totela together form one branch of Tonga as evidenced by certain shared innovations. The other branch groups together Plateau, Valley, Toka, Ila, Lenje and Soli on the basis of another set of phonological developments and the six lects are collectively referred to as Core Tonga. However, this division cannot be rigidly adhered to because Subiya and Totela to some extent participate in innovations affecting one or more members of the core group. It cannot be decided at the moment whether Sb and Tt together with the core lects form one distinct subfamily of Bantu or whether Sb and Tt form a different subfamily with some other lects not studied here. (Chapter 4). Some of the innovations link neighbouring lects and point to diffusion of phonological features across a geographical continuum. This convergence is further illuminated by the discussion of sociolinguistic factors in Chapter 6.
title: Thematic and aesthetic aspects of modern Palestinian drama.
Creators: name: Zeidan, Fawwaz Aref
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: This work is concerned with Palestinian drama from the second half of the nineteenth century until the present time. Its main aim is to show that, owing to political and historical circumstances, Palestinian drama has developed distinctive characteristics of its own in both content and form. The thesis is in four parts. Part One is a historical introduction, beginning with a study of the socio-economic, political and cultural structure of modern Palestine, and the leading role of the middle class in determining this structure, followed by an outline of the dramatic and theatrical movement. Its successes and failures are evaluated. Part Two deals with thematic aspects of Palestinian drama. It discusses the way that drama has drawn on myth, religion, history, and social life, and argues that whatever the material drawn on in a particular play, the main aim has been to express strong national sentiments. Part Three focuses on the artistic and aesthetic aspects of Palestinian drama. It examines theatrical elements, conflict, dialogue, character and the mode of their construction. Attention is paid to the methods of presentation of the plays, to the sources of inspiration for such methods and the way they have contributed to the themes. Part Four considers the function of the drama from political, cultural, critical and aesthetic points of view. It is shown throughout that Palestinian drama must be seen as a committed drama, and that it cannot be understood outside its historical context.
title: Communism, religion and revolt in Banten in the early twentieth century.
Creators: name: Williams, Michael Charles
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: Twice in this century popular revolts against colonial rule have occurred in the Banten district of West Java. These revolts, conducted largely under an Islamic leadership, also proclaimed themselves Communist. They sought to overturn the status quo in the name of revolution, but also looked back to the pre-colonial era for inspiration. Bantenese society in the early twentieth century possessed strong local characteristics which distinguished it from the rest of Java. Although there had been some spread of cash crops, its economy was extremely vulnerable due to infertility of the soil and poor irrigation. Migration, both temporary and permanent, provided the region with a lifeline and an opportunity for economic advancement for some. Village society was dominated by three powerful groups: the religious leaders, local strongmen or bandits and nobles who were descendants of the former sultans. Great resentment was felt towards both the Dutch and the local Indonesian administration, many of whom were non-Bantenese. These two groups were the targets of local hostility. The primary division that ran through Bantenese society was therefore not between peasant and landlord but between peasant and agent of government. Advantage was taken of this division by the Sarekat Islam in the 1910s and by the Communist Party (PKI) in the 1920s. The Communist Party succeeded in mobilizing a large part of Bantenese society under its wings and this political mobilization culminated in the revolt of November 1926. Whilst the revolt was Communist in name, however, its leadership was in the hands of the traditional power holders of rural Bantenese society, especially the religious leaders. The revolt was followed by a period of sharp colonial repression and enforced political quiescence. The collapse of the wartime Japanese occupation administration in September 1945 was followed by a popular uprising in Banten led by the same groups who had spearheaded the 1926 revolt.

title: The genesis of the Philippine Communist Party.
Creators: name: Richardson, James Andrew
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: Unlike communist parties elsewhere in Asia, the Partido Komunista sa Pilipinas (PKP) was constituted almost entirely by activists from the working class. Radical intellectuals, professionals and other middle class elements were conspicuously absent. More particularly, the PKP was rooted in the Manila labour movement and, to a lesser extent, in the peasant movement of Central Luzon. This study explores these origins and then examines the character, outlook and performance of the Party in the first three years of its existence (1930-33). Socialist ideas began to circulate during the early 1900s, but were not given durable organisational expression until 1922, when a Workers' Party was formed. Led by cadres from the country's principal labour federation, the Congreso Obrero, this party aligned its policies increasingly with those of the Comintern. The struggle for independence, it asserted, had been betrayed by the Filipino elite and should be spearheaded instead by the toiling masses. Between 1925 and 1928 the influence of the Workers' Party within the Congreso Obrero grew steadily, resulting most notably in the affiliation of the federation to a subsidiary of the Profintern. As the Workers' Party adopted the ultra-leftist and sectarian positions which characterised the Comintern's "third period", however, it attracted mounting hostility from moderate and conservative labourites, and in 1929 the Congreso Obrero split apart. The radical faction thereupon formed a "red" trade union centre which the following year was instrumental in establishing the PKP on the foundations the Workers' Party had laid. Highly belligerent in its stance, the PKP was quickly subjected to government persecution, and for this and other reasons was unable to make much headway during the depression years in either city or countryside.
title: The Commandement Indigene in Senegal, 1919-1947.

Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1983

description: This thesis concerns the interaction of the French colonial administration and indigenous chiefs at village, cantonal and provincial levels during the interwar and Second World War periods. Indirect rule was as important to the French as to the British, as chronic shortages of European personnel throughout the period necessitated cooperation with local intermediaries. By examining the selection, education and functions of the chiefs, this thesis will show the way in which the character of the chieftancy was transformed from a traditional ruling group before the arrival of the French to agents of the colonial power. The way in which the commandement indigene operated in practice had little connection with French colonial theory. Decisions concerning the appointment of chiefs were often political, and had to balance the French desire for literate, trained and reliable chiefs against African demands for a legitimate ruler. Sometimes, appointments were a compromise between local rivals. The chiefs had to bear the brunt of unpopular administrative tasks, the most important of which was the census, which laid the groundwork for taxation, conscription, forced labour and agricultural campaigns. In these duties, the chiefs were to act as intermediaries between the colonial administration and their subjects, but in practice, their functions alienated them from the latter and identified them with the French colonial power. At the same time, French protection gave them opportunities for arbitrariness, for as long as they produced results, the administration turned a blind eye to methods of extraction. The enormity of these abuses were exposed in the world depression of the 1930s, when pressures on the Senegalese cultivator from the administration and chiefs became intolerable. Anxious to preserve the fiction that the chiefs represented their subjects, the French appointed them to consultative councils where they could generally be relied upon to endorse government proposals. The French developed an intricate system of salaries and hierarchy among the chiefs so that they became more like civil servants. But Association policy dictated that the chiefs should not lose their "traditional" character. In this way, they fell between two stools for alienated from their peoples, they never quite attained civil servant status.

title: Nepali : The emergence of a national language.
Creators: name: Hutt, Michael James
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: Since the thirteenth century, the Indo-Aryan language now known as Nepali has become the mother tongue of an increasingly large proportion of the population of the eastern Himalaya and is spoken throughout the highlands of Nepal and contiguous regions of India. After the political unification of Nepal in the late eighteenth century, the importance of Nepali as an integral part of Nepalese national identity grew considerably. Early in this century, it acquired the official status of the national language of Nepal. This study is concerned with the development of the Nepali language and its literature. The first part describes the linguistic diversity of Nepal in order to demonstrate the need for a lingua-franca in the region. Statistics provided by Government censuses are utilised to quantify the number of speakers of various languages and to evaluate their current status. The effect which the increasing dominance of Nepali has had upon the other languages of the country is also examined. The second part of this study describes the efforts which have been made by Nepali-speakers to standardise and promote their language as a major factor in favour of national integration, and assesses the adequacy of Nepali to perform the functions which have been prescribed for it as a national language. Particular attention is paid to the role of the language as the medium of education. The third part of the study traces the evolution of a Nepali "national literature", the existence of which is quite fundamental to the modern status of the language. The most important trends in the development of standard written Nepali are described, and illustrated by extracts ranging from the earliest known inscriptions to a variety of modern published works. Developments in Nepali literature which serve to distinguish it from the literature of other North Indian languages are identified and analysed.

title: Syntactic universals and semantic constraints: Statistical and other comparative evidence from the study of verbs and adjectives.
Creators: name: Prior, Martin Hugh
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1985

description: This study is concerned with the examination of word-order universals and the attempt to explain the diverse statistical patterns by means of a variety of semantic structures. Central to my study is a critique (a) of Hawkins's approach, the Universal Consistency Hypothesis, and its concentration upon apparently exceptionless universals, and (b) the Bartsch-Vennemann approach which breaks down structures generally into OPerator-Operand pairs. In Part I, I introduce a geographically and genetically representative sample of 75 languages, and show that not only are violations to be found to Hawkins's principles of consistency, but that they are statistically predictable. The statistical results are also useful in relating word-order patterns with fusional, agglutinative and isolating morphology: in particular fusion is associated with violations of statistical universals. In Part II, I concentrate on adjectives and verbs and here the patterns of non-exceptionless universals become important: instead of distinguishing intensional and extensional adjectives after Montague, I identify a semantic principle of Adjunction, which includes some intensional adjectives, over and above those adjectives for which an analysis as (intensional) operators is still appropriate. The analysis further suggests that the Bartsch-Vennemann identification of operators and operands is often the reverse of what it should be, especially for genitival and verb-object constructions, and I discuss the implications of this for the verb and its semantic relationship with the subject and object. Finally I consider determiners, tense and focus as operators upon operators, showing why their syntactic behaviour leads to asymmetric statistical patterns.

description: MOBILITY COMPARISON BETWEEN IJS OF STEINERNEMA SPP. AND HETERORHABDITIS SPP. (NEMATODA: RHABDITIDA) IN WATER AND IN GELS SUSPENSIONS.

Gels and water suspensions of 6 strains of Steinernema feltiae, 8 species of Steinernema and 2 species of Heterorhabditis were compared in the laboratory for their mobility.

The capability of each strain and species to leave the gels and the water in which they were suspended was compared. The time required by the first 3 nematodes of 50-60 (IJs) infective juveniles suspended in 0.5 ml of each gel or in 0.2 ml water to leave were recorded.

All the nematodes, apart from the strains and the species, took more then one hour to leave the water. The time to leave the gels varied in relation to the nematode, the kind of the gel and the position of the drops.

The experiments pointed out the lack of toxicity of the gels in regards to the nematodes and the capacity of the IJs to leave the gels more quickly then water. The gels also showed a higher resistance to dehydration in comparison with the water and a lower release of the nematodes in the environment.

Key words: Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae, S. arenarium, S. affine, S. kraussei, S. glaseri, S. oregonense, S. intermedium, S. cubanum, Heterorhabditis marelatus, H. bacteriophora, water suspension, gels, motility, evaporation, vitality.

In previsione di applicazioni di Nematodi entomopatogeni nei nidi della Thaumetopoea pityocampa Den. et Schiff. (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae) si sono messe a confronto tra di loro sospensioni in acqua e in gel di IJs di Heterorhabditis spp. e Steinernema spp.

I risultati hanno accertato che i gel utilizzati (Idrosorb SR 2002 (Nigem®) e Compex gel ®) non influenzano la vitalità e il movimento dei Nematodi mentre il movimento stesso e la diffusione nell’ambiente sono fortemente ostacolati dalla tensione superficiale delle goccioline di acqua in cui essi sono sospesi.

Le specie e i vari ceppi di Steinernema e gli Heterorhabditis hanno mostrato tempi differenti per allontanarsi e diffondersi nell’ambiente in relazione al tipo di gel e alle posizioni delle gocce in cui erano inclusi.

Le sospensioni gelatinose, evaporando più lentamente dell’acqua hanno garantito una umidità più prolungata alle forme infettive dei nematodi favorendone un rilascio più dilazionato nell’ambiente.

description: Entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis usually turn insect larvae brick red after infection. During a soil survey for entomopathogenic nematodes in southern Italy, several isolates of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora were found, three of which turned Galleria mellonella larvae green upon infection (“green strains”). The aim of this study was to compare pathogenicity, reproductive potential, and reproductive success of two of the three “green” (strains IH-C3 nd IH- C13) and two “red” (strains IH-MR4 and IH-MR8) H. bacteriophora from Italy. IH-C13 was most pathogenic (LC50 = 9 IJs/larva) and IH-MR4 was least pathogenic (LC50 = 29 IJs/larva). G. mellonella larvae infected with IH-C13 or IH-MR8 produced more infective juveniles (3.8 and 3.9 million IJs/10 Galleria larvae, respectively) than those infected with IH-C3 or IH-MR4 (2.8 and 3.5 million IJs/10 Galleria larvae, respectively). Reproductive success increased as concentrations of IJs/larva increased. IH-C13 and IH-MR8 reproduced at lower IJ concentrations than IH-C3 and IH- MR4.

Key words: bioassays, entomopathogenic nematodes, heterorhabditid red and green strains, infectivity comparison.

BACTERIOPHORA POINAR, 1975

I nematodi entomopatogeni del genere Heterorhabditis insieme ai batteri simbionti Photorhabdus, generalmente conferiscono una colorazione rossa alle larve che infestano. Durante un’indagine sulla presenza di nematodi entomopatogeni in Italia meridionale, sono stati isolati diversi ceppi di Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, 3 dei quali coloravano di verde le larve di Galleria mellonella infestate.

È stata comparata la patogenicità, il potenziale riproduttivo ed il successo riproduttivo di 2 dei 3 ceppi “verdi” (IH-C3 e IH-C13) con 2 ceppi normali “rossi” (IH-MR4 e IH-MR8) di H.

bacteriophora isolati anch’essi nel meridione d’Italia. IH-C13 è risultato il più infettivo (LC50 = 9 IJs/larva) e IH-MR4 il meno virulento (LC50 = 29 IJs/larva). Le larve di G. mellonella infestate con IH-C13 o IH-MR8 hanno prodotto più stadi giovanili infettivi (IJs) (3.8 e 3.9 milioni di IJs/10 larve di Galleria, rispettivamente) in confronto alle larve infettate con IH-C3 o IH-MR4 (2.8 e 3.5 milioni IJs/10 larve di Galleria, rispettivamente). Il successo riproduttivo è aumentato in relazione all’aumento della concentrazione di infestazione di IJs/larva. IH-C13 e IH-MR8 hanno evidenziato una capacità riproduttiva migliore a basse concentrazioni di IJs rispetto a IH-C3 e IH-MR4.

description: COLEOPTEROUS LARVAE FROM PLANT DEBRIS OF AGRICULTURAL ORIGIN: MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES AND SEASONAL OCCURRENCE (POLYPHAGA: 20 FAMILIES)

Iconography is presented for full-grown larvae of 55 species. Specimens were selected by Berlese’s devices from small masses of plant debris deposited by farmers or gardeners in the rural environment of Apulia and Basilicata regions (Southern Italy). Explanation of each table does report on: the larva colour, the colonized types of debris (referring to the codes in table A), the occurrence months. Moreover, outbreak period is registered for some species. In most cases, larvae were identified from adults obtained by keeping alive some of them in rearing jars. The other larvae were identified by comparing them with collection specimens.

Laboratory observations of the feeding behaviour allowed to include most examined larvae into 3 categories: phytosaprophagous-mycophagous (29 spp.), zoophagous-zoosaprophagous (12 spp.), carpophagous (1 sp.).

Fam. Staphylinidae is the most represented in debris (17 spp. versus 4 spp. at most of the other families) and includes a large percentage of zoophagous-zoosaprophagous larvae.

Outbreaks were registered for 24 species, including 4 cosmopolitan pests of commodities: Carpophilus hemipterus (Linné) (Nitidulidae), Ahasversus advena (Waltl) (Silvanidae), Cryptophilus integer (Heer) (Languriidae) and Typhaea stercorea (Linné) (Mycetophagidae).

The higher number of species (38 spp.) was found in dregs of pressed grapes. Possibly, this type of refuses exhibits combination of favourable characteristics as follows: presence in the field extended from autumn to spring (damper seasons), high and immediate attractiveness for a larger range of adult coleoptera, large volume of each mass.

Key words: Coleoptera, agricultural refuses, larvae, morphology, seasonal occurrence.

title: Extraposition and pronominal agreement in Semitic languages.
Creators: name: Khan, Geoffrey
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: This thesis is a study of extraposition and pronominal agreement in Semitic languages. By the term 'extraposition' I understand the syntactic construction in which a noun or nominal phrase stands isolated at the front of the clause without any formal connection to the predication. The grammatical relation of the nominal is usually indicated vicariously by means of a co-referential resumptive pronoun, e.g. (Arabic) Zaydun 'abu-hu tajirun "Zayd - his father is a merchant". 'Pronominal agreement' is a construction where a noun or nominal phrase whose grammatical relation is indicated by its case inflection or by an adjoining relational particle is accompanied in the same clause by a co-referential pronoun agreeing with it in number, gender, person, and grammatical relation, e.g. (Syriac) la-malka qatl-eh "The king - he killed him". Each chapter constitutes an independent study of extraposition and pronominal agreement in a separate Semitic language. These languages include Arabic, Biblical Hebrew, Akkadian, and Amharic. A single chapter is also devoted to the two Aramaic dialects Biblical Aramaic and Syriac. Both the structure and the function of the constructions are examined. The study of the structure consists of a taxonomy of the various structural types which are attested in the language. The f-unction of the constructions is elucidated by examining their role within the discourse in which they occur. These independent studies axe followed by a concluding synthesis which explores the possibilities of Semitic comparative syntax.

title: Himalayan sculpture in the XXth century : A study of the religious statuary in metal and clay of the Nepal Valley and Ladakh.
Creators: name: Lo Bue, Erberto
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: The thesis of this work is that the study of XXth century Himalayan art is not only a subject worthy of serious historical research in its own right, but may also help to shed more light on the history of Tibetan and Himalayan art in general. It is divided into a foreword and five chapters. The Foreword (pp. I-XIV) justifies the choice of the subject, discusses the problem of copying and explains the methods followed in the research. Chapter One (pp. 1-46) is a comprehensive account of the relationship between Newars and Tibetans at cultural, artistic, social and economic levels from the VIIth century A. D. to the present day. Chapter Two (pp. 47-105) introduces and provides brief accounts of the lives of thirteen leading Newar and Ladakhi Sculptors. The biographical data include details of the artists chief or more representative works, with their dates, size, materials, techniques and locations. Chapter Three (pp. 106-196) is concerned with the study of statuary metals and alloys. It defines the use of and discusses the term "bronze" (3 pages), reviews early brass, copper and bronze statuary from northern India in the light of the available metallurgical analyses (10 pages) and deals with recent metallurgical analysis of Tibetan and Himalayan metal images (6 pages), with particular reference to the Cleveland Buddha (6 pages). After summing up the technological implications of the data taken into consideration (3 pages), it describes the metals and alloys used in great detail, with the location of the mines, methods of extraction, trade, use in statuary, and Tibetan terminology: copper (H pages); zinc (9 pages); brass (7 pages); tin (2 pages); bronze (13 pages); silver (4 pages); gold (9 pages); iron (3 pages); and mercury (3 pages). Tibetan literary sources as well as Western information gathered in situ are used extensively. Chapter Pour (pp. 199-237) describes the modelling techniques (6 pages), investment and removal of the wax (3 pages), a timed casting (4 pages), and the removal from the mould and cleaning of the cast (4 pages). Nine pages are devoted to gilding and five to the problem of forgeries and conclusions. Chapter Five (pp. 238-279) is concerned with the sources used by the artists and discusses their iconography (11 pages), iconometry (10 pages), and problems of style (12 pages).
