title: The future of transatlantic relations after Ukraine
Creators: name: Kornberger, Johannes Immanuel
Year: 2024

description: Ein wiederauflebender isolationistischer Flügel innerhalb der US-Republikanischen Partei stellt eine Herausforderung für das transatlantische Bündnis dar. Angesichts ihrer Verwundbarkeit im Licht der großangelegten Invasion Russlands in die Ukraine im Jahr 2022 müssen sich die europäischen Nationen an die sich entwickelnden außenpolitischen Ziele der USA anpassen. Unter Verwendung der Wahrnehmungen der GOP-Elite als intervenierende Variablen zwischen den vorherrschenden systemischen Druckfaktoren einerseits und den außenpolitischen Zielen der USA andererseits schlage ich vor, dass drei einzigartige Gruppierungen – konservative Internationalisten, Hardliner-Aktivisten und populistische Neo-Isolationisten – außenpolitische Ziele im Indo-Pazifik und im Nahen Osten teilen, aber unterschiedliche Ziele in Bezug auf die NATO und die Ukraine haben. Durch die Offenlegung der außenpolitischen Ziele der US-Republikaner hebt diese Arbeit die Notwendigkeit hervor, dass die EU und die USA ihre Beziehung auf Bereiche gemeinsamen Interesses neu ausrichten müssen, um die transatlantische Partnerschaft wiederzubeleben.
description: A resurgent isolationist faction within the US Republican Party poses a challenge to the transatlantic alliance. Aware of their vulnerability in light of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, European nations must adapt to evolving US foreign policy objectives. Using GOP elite perceptions as intervening variables between prevailing systemic pressures on the one hand, and US foreign policy objectives on the other, I propose that three unique groupings: conservative internationalists, hardliner activists and populist neo-isolationists share foreign policy objectives in the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East, but have divergent objectives regarding NATO and Ukraine. By exposing US Republican foreign policy objectives, this thesis highlights the need for the EU and the US to re-position their relationship towards areas of common interest to revive the transatlantic partnership.

title: Religious innovation and social change among the Bukusu.
Creators: name: de Wolf, Jan Jacob
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1971

description: The problem of this thesis is the relation between the acceptance of religious innovation and other processes of social change among the Bukusu of Western Kenya. The theoretical framework which was adopted was borrowed from Mary Douglas who recently introduced the terms 'group' and 'grid' to denote two independent variables which characterize any social system. It appeared the only approach which could explain the incidence of a millenarian movement in a satisfactory manner and it also allowed a better description and fuller explanation of other facts. Traditionally Bukusu society had strong grid and weak group. There were no corporate groups or state-like institutions, but social organization depended on the manipulation of roles based on ego-centred categories. These characteristics facilitated the introduction of a hierarchy of political offices through which a handful of British administrators could control many of hundreds of thousands of Africans. This new system was differentiated through the need to introduce further checks and balances. Independent courts of justice and representative councils which assumed responsibility for public services curbed the discretionary powers of the chiefs and allowed greater African participation in decision making. Bukusu took advantage of the new opportunities which the system offered and tried to change criteria for recruiting chiefs and allocation of money for education to make it even more advantageous for themselves. Christianity was important for these developments because African participation in denominational competition gave Bukusu the experience and the organizational framework to agitate for the replacement of alien chiefs in Bukusu locations. Missionaries also encouraged semi-political welfare organizations which acquainted Bukusu with techniques necessary to set up and operate large scale formal organizations effectively. Thus they could form the Bukusu Union which wanted to use Bukusu wealth for Bukusu development. The emergence of a millenarian movement focussed the attention of the administration on these aspirations and resulted in the setting up of a new district in which the Bukusu were dominant. The first education provided by the missionaries helped individual Bukusu to qualify for the new posts in the administrative system created by the British. Enduring commitment to mocogamy enabled Christians to save money which they could invest in commercial farming. Money saved in the form of bridewealth cattle and/or earned from the sale of cash crops helped to pay for expensive boarding school education of children in the nineteen forties and fifties. These children were therefore proportionately more important among the national elite which emerged in the nineteen sixties than children with a different background.

description: This study aimed to determine the involvement of neural circuits associated with executive functions (EF) during Hebrew reading in its two forms, deep and shallow, on a word and contextual level in children. Functional MRI data was collected employing 49 8-12-year-old Hebrew-speaking children performing the n-back task. Functional connectivity within and between EF networks (i.e. the cingulo-opercular; CO and fronto-parietal; FP networks) was calculated and included in prediction models for single word as well as contextual reading measures on a deep and shallow orthographic level. Working memory was positively associated with single word reading in Hebrew-speaking children. Functional connectivity between CO-FP networks better predicted deep orthography reading in single word reading compared to shallow orthography. Results highlight the utilisation of EF networks during the deep form of Hebrew in single word reading.
title: The role of accent in Thai grammar.
Creators: name: Hiranburana, S.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1971

description: The aim of this thesis is to investigate, within the framework of generative grammar, the role of accent in colloquial standard Thai. The result of this investigation has led one to conclude that accent in Thai is predictable by a series of phonological rules which have two functions in the language. One is the syntactic function since accent is used to distinguish utterances with identical phonological representations but with different syntactic structures; the other is the interpretative function in mapping the phonological representation of an utterance onto its phonetic representation. This thesis is divided into three parts :- Part One contains two chapters. Chapter One gives an account of the theoretical framework, followed by an outline of the aims and scope of the thesis. Chapter Two contains a review of previous works on accent or stress. Part Two consists of three chapters. Chapter Three gives an account and the results of a recognition test of the contrastive role of accent. Chapter Four illustrates the syntactic role in the analyses of utterances used in the recognition test. The predictability of accent is described in Chapter Five in a series of accent placement rules. The interpretative function of accent is described in Part Three which consists of three chapters. Chapter Six deals with the length assignment rules. Chapter Seven deals with the segmental feature assignment rules and Chapter Eight deals with the pitch feature assignment rules. The thesis is then concluded with a summary.
title: Loanwords in Temne : A study of the sources and processes of lexical borrowing in a Sierra Leonean language.
Creators: name: Turay, Abdul Karim
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1971

description: Loanwords from other African as well as non-African languages form a substantial part of the Temne lexicon. Despite the importance of loanwords in historical and comparative linguistics however, the study of loanwords in African languages has received inadequate attention in the past, and there has been a lack of comprehensive case-studies into the sources and processes of borrowing within individual African languages, involving inter-African loanwords as well as loanwords from European languages and/or Arabic. The present thesis is designed to provide such a comprehensive case-study, based on Temne, the major language of northern Sierra Leone and the writer's mother-tongue. The first chapter is an introduction to Temne language and society. A majority of words borrowed into Temne from other African languages relate to the cultural institutions of the Temne and it has been necessary to provide cultural as well as linguistic data in examining the assimilation of these loanwords. The following methodological introduction discusses the problems of the historical study of an unwritten language, together with a proposed methodology for the identification of loanwords in Temne. The source languages are discussed under chapters with introductory sections on the phonology of each language and on the historical and cultural contacts between the Temne and speakers of each language. Loanwords are arranged and discussed under separate semantic categories, demonstrating the areas of culture where each source language has had its greatest impact. Items from Manding, Susu and Fula (and from Arabic via these languages) illustrate the impact of Islam on traditional Temne culture, while items from Mende relate largely to the major Temne 'secret' societies. Limba and Bullom are dealt with briefly. The final chapters cover non-Sierra Leonean sources, i.e. English/Krie and Portuguese, involving mainly trade and technology, but having little impact on indigenous culture, together with Yoruba, introduced via Krio, involving 'secret' society terminology.
title: The reign of al-Hakim Bi Amr Allah, 386/996-411/1021: A political study.
Creators: name: Assaad, Sadek Ismail
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1971

description: The present thesis is a political study of the reign of al-Hakim Bi Amr Allah the sixth Fatimid Imam-Caliph who ruled between 386-411/996-1021. It consists of a note on the sources and seven chapters. The first chapter is a biographical review of al-Hakim's person. It introduces a history of his birth, childhood, succession to the Caliphate, his education and private life and it examines the contradiction in the sources concerning his character. Chapter II discusses the problems which al-Hakim inherited from the previous rule and examines their impact on the political life of his State. Chapter III introduces the administration of the internal affairs of the State. It examines the struggle for power between the Imam-Caliph and his Wasita and its results on the internal policies of the Imam-Caliph. It also discusses the economic, social, legal and architectural reforms which he introduced throughout his reign. The progress of the Ismaili Daiwa and the problem of Ahl al-Dhimma are also examined in this chapter. Chapter IV is devoted to the external policy of al-Hakim. It studies his policies concerning the maintenance of his suzerainty over the provinces of Damascus, Hijaz and Tripoli and his endeavour to extend it over Aleppo and other parts of the Muslim world. His policy towards the Byzantine and Abbasid Empires is also discussed in this chapter. Chapter V examines the rebellions and uprisings which al-Hakim faced and discusses his methods in dealing with them. Chapter VI introduces the split in the Ismaili Daiwa which resulted in the creation of the Druz Sect. It also examines the causes behind such an important event. Chapter VII is concerned with the death or "disappearance" of al-Hakim and discusses the stories and myths surrounding it.

Creators: name: Qadiri, Khalid Hasan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: The introduction describes the difficulties encountered in making a full-length study of Hasrat, how these difficulties were surmounted, and what new material this thesis presents. Hasrat's ancestry, his early life in Mohan and his school days at Mohan and Fatehpur are fully described in Chapter I. His life at the M. A. O. College and his activities there are covered in Chapter II. Chapter III describes his journalistic and political career which began with the publication of Urdu-i-Mu'alla in 1903 and covers the period from that date to 1916. Hasrat's second imprisonment began in 1916. Chapter IV describes the Indian political scene and Hasrat's role in the political events of India up to 1922. Chapter V gives the background of the break-up of Hindu- Muslim unity and reviews Hasrat's activities up to 1926 when he addressed the first All-India Communist Conference. Later events, up to his death in 1951, are described more summarily (in Chapter VI), for in this long closing period of his life he ceased, both as a poet and a political figure, to show any real development. Chapter VII contains a full discussion of Hasrat's poetry and prose works.

description: REVISION OF Agathidium OF NORTH AFRICA AND CANARY ISLANDS (Coleoptera, Leiodidae)

A revision of the species of North continental Africa and Canaries is presented as an attempt to solve several taxonomic difficulties about Agathidium from these regions.

Type specimens of 19 species and specimens determined by HLISNIKOVSKY himself of A. vodickai Hlisn. and A. laevigatum meridianum Hlisn. have been examined.

Neotype of A. integricolle Woll. and A. edoughense Port., and lectotype of A. leprieuri Bris., A. pueli Chob. and A. algiricum Bris., are designateci.

New descriptions: A. gomerense n. sp., A. bertii n. sp., A. leonardii n. sp..

At present 16 species from North continental Africa are known, of which 13 occur only in this region, while 3 of them belong also to the European fauna. As in Southern Europe and Turkey, most species belong to the subg. Agathidium s. str.

In Canaries, 7 endemie Agathidium - of subg. Neoceble - are known, together with l very widespread species, A. (s. str.) laevigatum.

Vengono trattate le 23 specie di Agathidium del Nord Africa continentale (Marocco, Algeria e Tunisia) e delle Isole Canarie note fino ad oggi, fra cui tre specie nuove, A. gomerense n. sp., A. berti n. sp. e A. leonardii n. sp..

Vengono designati:
 - il Neotypus di A. integricolle Woll. e A. edoughense Port.
 - il Lectotypus di A. leprieuri Bris., A. pueli Chob. e A. algiricum Bris. Complessivamente, del Nord Africa continentale si conoscono 16 specie, di cui 13 sono proprie di questo areale geografico. Delle Isole Canarie sono note 8 specie, di cui 7 appar- tenenti al subg. Neoceble ed endemiche.

Contributo alla conoscenza delle Batrisinae paleartiche (Coleoptera, Pselaphidae) Le ghiandole antennali nei maschi di Batrisus Aubè e Batrisodes Reitter: variazioni morfologiche, istologia e valore tassonomico

description: CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF PALEARCTIC Batrisinae (Coleoptera, Pselaphidae). ANTENNAL MALE GLANDS OF Batrisus AUBÈ AND Batrisodes REITTER: MORPHOLOGY, HISTOLOGY AND TAXONOMICAL IMPLICATIONS

Structural modifications of the apical antennal segments of males are studied and described for 10 Palearctic Batrisinae. Morphological and histological aspects are discussed, avalaible data on similar modifications in other Batrisinae are compiled and analyzed, and some generai considerations are given to their function and their taxonomical use.

A large number of Palearctic Batrisini possess glandular organs in the apical antennal segments, similar to those described in the Afrotropical subtribe Ambicocerina (LELEUP, 1970a; 1970b; 1973a). Similar structures (and probably some more complex ones) bave been previously observed in North American Batrisodes (PARK, 1947; 1951; 1953a; 1953b; 1956).

Examination of Batrisodes delaportei, B. hubenthali, B. adnexus, B. venustus, B. ruprechti, B. oculatus, B. elysius, B. insularis, B. buqueti and Batrisus formicarius, shows that, in the 11th segment of each species, there is a thin-lined reservoir and a thin duct, leading to the ventral face of the segment and ending externally in a characteristic spine-like process. This organ is well developed in the myrmecophilous Batrisus formicarius and Batrisodes delaportei, while relatively reduced in humicophilous· species, B. venustus, B. oculatus and B. elysius.

Le complesse strutture ghiandolari delle antenne dei maschi vengono studiate in nove specie paleartiche di Batrisodes, e in Batrisus formicarius Aubè; vengono studiate anche le antenne dei maschi di due Amaurops s.I. L'ultrastruttura delle relative cellule ghiandolari viene esaminata in Batrisodes oculatus Aubè. Si traccia un quadro complessivo delle particolarità esoscheletriche degli Pselafidi, con particolare attenzione alle modificazioni antennali maschili, segnalate già da PARK in Batrisodes neartici e descritte da LELEUP nelle Ambicocerina africane. Alcune considerazioni vengono fatte a proposito della funzione delle ghiandole antennali e del loro impiego in tassonomia.

title: Optional and obligatory verbal complements in English.
Creators: name: Mittwoch, Anita
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1971

description: This thesis investigates the factors that determine whether complements marked in the subcategorization of verbs are obligatory or optional. The model used is that of Chomsky (1965). In 1.1, the notion of verbal complement is defined and is limited to direct objects, indirect objects, prepositional objects, directionals and some locatives; 1.2, consists largely of a resume of past discussions that have a bearing on the main topic of this investigation. It emerges that a distinction must be drawn between the absence of unspecified and specified complements. Chapter 2 deals with the omission of unspecified complements, 3 with the omission of specified complements that consist of simple noun phrases. Chapter 4 opens with a discussion of the status of sentential complements and the structure of sentences containing such complements; the rest of the chapter deals with the omission of the various types of sentential complements. Chapter 5 deals with the omission of reflexive and reciprocal pronouns. Chapter 6 discusses how the phenomena described in Chapters 2--5 should be handled by a grammar. The conclusion is reached that verbs that can be used without specified complements should be subcategorized as taking optional complements, so that there is no need to account for the absence of unspecified complements by a deletion transformation. Such a transformation is, however, necessary to account for the absence of specified complements. The main body of the thesis is followed by three Appendixes.
title: A study of certain linguistic, metrical, and literary aspects of the Diwan of Ibn Quzman (d. 1160 A.D.).
Creators: name: Abu-Haidar, Jareer Amin
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1975

description: This thesis, primarily a study of the of the Diwan of the Hispano-Arab poet Ibn Quzman, attempts to show that the popular Arabic, literary genre, the zajal, has often been studied from the point of view of literary history, or from a genetic; rather than from a generic point of view. It; also attempts to show that, medieval, theories about the zajal, namely that it was written in collioquial or vulgar Hispano-Arabia have been accepted by scholars up to the present withouto adequate examination. In this work the zajal is viewed as part of a literary tradition or literary genre, perhaps shortlived, but in any case neglected, called /al-hazl/. In essence this was a literary parody and an expression of literary revolt against: the strict demands and conventions of classical Arabic literature and writing. It's protagonists seem to have called it. /hazl/ to distinguish its droll approach from the sombre and ponderous traditional style of classical Arabic writing which they termed /mu'rab/. Accordingly an attempt is made here to show that just: as it was the declared intention of the /hazl/ writers to: free their work from the demands of desinential inflection, /i'rab/, they also disregarded the demands of linguistic purity and pedantry. It. is thus one of the themes of this thesis that while the language of the zajal. plays havoc with classical Arabic, and popular or colloquial, terms are rife in it, it is not, as has so far been:, maintained by practically every student of the zajal, a colloquial genre. The metrical irregularity of the zajals of Ibn Quzman is explained in the light of the irregularity and nonconformity which characterize the /hazl/ genre, and an attempt is made at the outset to demonstrate the undesirability of postulating a syllabic theory for his metrical patterns. One other conclusion of this work is that the /kharja/ of the classical muwashshah, the subject of so much controversy, and in many ways a puzzle on account of its Romance, popular, vulgar and sometimes even obscene elements, was an element of /hazl/ appended to: an otherwise strictly classical or /mu'rab/ muwashshah. Finally the thesis also examines some Spanish influences on Ibn Quzman.

description: This thesis studies the social life of the Abbasids during the 3rd/9th century (170-289/786-902), the "Golden Age" of Abbasid Iraq. Though stigmatised by various political and administrative crises the downfall of the Barmakids, civil war between Aman and Ma'mun, Turkish ascendancy, Zanj rebellion, transfer of the capital from Baghdad to Samarra and again from Samarra to Baghdad etc., the general pattern of life remained laregely unchanged, notwithstanding a strain of refinement that runs throughout the cultural and social life of the century. The thesis has been divided into seven chapters, a resum4 whereof is given hereunder : Chapter I deals with the various types of sources used in the preparation of the present thesis. The sources portraying the social life contemporary, near contemporary, dhimmi, secondary etc., have been classified into several groups with an assessment of their comparative value and reliability. Chapter II examines the evolution of various forms and designs of head-gear, foot-wear and garments in common use in a historical perspective. The dress of the various social classes, the state functionaries, the dhimmis and the sufis has also been dealt with underlining the regional, ethnic and ceremonial differences effecting form and design. Chapter III discusses food habits and describes the various kinds of food prepared from meat, fish, bread, rice, vegetables, ans other ingredients e.g., spices, oil and fat, sweetening agents etc. There is a brief description of the trade in edibles and the regulation of food prices etc. The chapter also discusses the table and social manners of the period. Chapter IV investigates and discusses hunting, a popular pastime of the period. There is a description of the use of the predatory beasts and birds for this purpose, various weapons and devices employed in hunting and the economic aspects of hunting e.g., the prices of the hunting animals, annual hunting budgets of the caliphs and the attitude of the fiqh towards hunting. Chapter V surveys the popular indoor and outdoor games of the period, their organisation, rules and regulations, the sports popular among women and children and the attitude of the fiqh vis-a-vis these pastimes. Chapter VT deals with the festival and festivities observed during the period under study by the court and the people in general, both Muslims and non-Muslims. Chapter VII reviews the housing situation in Abbasid Iraq, the prices of the houses, the housing rent, and the cost of land, the interior and exterior structure and decoration of dwelling houses, and the basic amenities e.g., the water supply, sanitation, cooling and heating system. The public baths found in almost every city, their maintenance, supervision personnel and the role they played in the social life of the early Abbasid period have also been discussed.

description: SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Tomicus (B!astophagus) piniperda L. (Col. Scofytidae) TO NEMATODES OF THE Steinernematidae FAMILY AND Heterorhabditidae FAMILY

Larvae, pupae and adults of Tomicus piniperda a very serious pest on Pine woods on the lonic-Coast (Apulia, Southern-ltaly) have proved to be very susceptible to «dauer- larvae » of Nematodes of the Steinernematidae Family (Sternerma feltiae « agriotos » strain, S. feltiae mexican strain, S. feltiae breton strain, S. feltiae italian strain, N. glaseri) and the Heterorhabditidae Family (Heterorhabditis heliotis and H. bacteriophora).

T. piniperda larvae and pupae are more susceptible to H. bacteriophora while T. pini- perda adults are to S. feltiae breton and italian strains and H. heliothidis.

A gram larva tissue on the average produces more Nematodes then a gram pupa or adults tissue because in the latter, part of the total weight is composed of chitin which is not consumed by Nematodes as food.

The preliminary field tests showed the possibility of T. piniperda (both females and males) being parasitized by H. bacteriophora « dauerlarvae » while actively digging in Pine wood.

Larve, pupe ed adulti del Tomicus (Blastophagus) piniperda Coleottero Scolitide molto dannoso ai Pini nelle pinete del litorale ionico pugliese, hanno dimostrato elevata suscet- tibilità agli stadi infettivi (« dauerlarvae ») di Nematodi della famiglia Steinermatidae (Steinerma feltiae ceppo « agriotos », S. feltiae ceppo messicano, S. feltiae ceppo bretone, S. feltiae ceppo italiano, Neoaplectana glaseri) ed alla famiglia Heterorhabditidae (Hetero- rhabditis heliotidis e H. bacteriophora) .

Le larve e le pupe dello Scolitide sono risultate più sensibili all'H. bacteriophora, mentre gli adulti al ceppo bretone ed italiano dello S. feltiae ed all'H. heliothidis.

Da l mg di tessuto di una larva sono stati prodotti mediamente più Nematodi che dalle pupe e dagli adulti perché, in questi ultimi, parte del peso in « toto » è costituito da chitina la quale non è utilizzabile da parte dei Nematodi per nutrimento.

Preliminari prove di campo hanno messo in luce anche la possibilità delle coppie di adulti del T. piniperda, in attività di scavo nei tronchi dei Pini, ad essere parassitizzate dalle « dauerlarvae » dell'H. bacteriophora.

title: Descriptive analysis of verbs in Malto.
Creators: name: Puttaswamy, Chaithra
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is a Descriptive Analysis of Verbs in Malto, a poorly documented North Dravidian language with about 60,000 speakers living on the Rajmahal Hills in Eastern India. Malto is an agglutinating language with SOV word order. The finite verb word in Malto maximally carries information about valence adjusting operations, tense-aspect- mood, negation and gender-number-person agreement with the subject. The non-finite verbs take suffixes marking adverbialisation, complementation, relativisation, conjunct participialisation and relative tense. Syntactically, there is only one finite verb in a sentence and all the other verbs preceding it are non-finite. Malto has a range of multi-verb constructions that includes explicator compound verbs, conjunct participle constructions, reduplicated adverbials, verbal complementisation, clause chaining and quotative verbal constructions. This work includes a detailed analysis of the formal structure of verbs, valence adjusting operations, tense-aspect-mood, negation and multi-verb constructions in Malto along with a concluding chapter on the language contact and convergence situation. The synchronic data collected during fieldwork is discussed in the framework of Role and Reference Grammar and complemented by inputs from typological studies and a historical linguistic perspective in relation to Dravidian languages.
title: Reading the metaphors in Baul songs : Some reflections on the social history of rural colonial Bengal.
Creators: name: Mukharji, Manjita
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: This thesis breaks with existing scholarship on the Bauls by moving away from an exclusive interrogation of their esoteric beliefs and practices. Instead, we forestage the socio-historical dimensions of metaphors found in Baul songs. Rather than using these metaphors as keys to unlock the esoteric registers of Baul praxis, we see how the metaphors themselves are drawn from and mediated by the Baul singer-composers' locations in history and society. In the Introduction of the thesis, we sensitise the reader to the history and politics of the particular frames used by song-collectors through which the songs-our primary material-have become available to us. Thereafter, we develop our enquiry through five specific case-studies. In each case-study, i.e. those of gender, agrarian relations, domestic space, transportation and spatiality, we look at clusters of metaphors around each of these themes and see how the metaphors themselves reveal clues to both the specificities of the Baul singer-composers' socio-historical locations and their experiences of these locations. Throughout these studies we remain interested in how Baul singer-composers as members of a larger rural society resist and/or negotiate with the structures of domination. In conclusion, we argue that not only is their resistance intimately tied up with their specific socio-historical experiences-which they often also share with non-Baul contemporaries-but also that both their experiences and their modes of resistance are themselves shifting and historically contingent. Thus, just as we find several shifting layers in their resistance to structures of power, similarly we find multiple shifting locations for their experiential body.
From Coding To Computational Thinking And Back

Introducing coding in the curriculum at an early age is considered a long-term investment in bridging the skills gap between the technology demands of the labour market and the availability of people to fill them. The keys to success include moving from mere literacy to active control – not only at the level of learners but also at the level of teachers. However, given the fast development of the field, one might wonder whether acquiring specific coding skills really is the essence of introducing coding early in the curriculum. We argue that the reach of ICT –including coding skills-- is much broader than STEM alone and a background in STEM is no longer a requirement for successful coding. The complex link between coding and computational thinking is the real critical success factor. We refer to TACCLE3 (an EU Erasmus+ project) as a successful approach to the implementation and valorisation of computational thinking across the curriculum.

title: Indians as French citizens in colonial Indochina, 1858-1940.
Creators: name: Pairaudeau, Natasha
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made their mark on Indochina itself. Known as 'renouncers', they gained their citizenship by renouncing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism. Indochina was important to French India from the late-nineteenth century, I maintain, because of the way renouncers were able to develop social and political agendas over long distances to secure their rights within the French empire. I further the study of late-colonial migrations from British India by adding a trajectory under French colonial conditions to other better-known itineraries. I advance thinking on migration by showing how movements stimulated the circulation not just of goods and labour but of ideas. I support claims that colonised peoples were not passive agents, and bring to the fore the struggles of colonised people fighting not against, but within a colonial framework. I reinstate the Indian presence in the colonial history of Vietnam, not only to support the restoration to southern Vietnam of its historical social diversity, or to draw attention to long-neglected minority groups. The thesis, I argue, brings new insights to the complexities of colonial encounters. The presence of Indian French citizens in colonial Indochina generated encounters between Indians and Vietnamese which were outside of French control. In so doing it highlighted not the strengths but the inherent weaknesses of colonial rule.

description: The local equilibration time of quantum many-body systems has been conjectured to satisfy a `Planckian bound', $τ_{\rm eq}\gtrsim \frac{\hbar}{T}$. We provide a sharp and universal definition of this time scale, and show that it is bounded below by the strong coupling scale of diffusive fluctuations, which can be expressed in terms of familiar transport parameters. When applied to quantum field theories at finite temperature, this fluctuation bound implies the Planckian bound. The fluctuation bound moreover applies to any local thermalizing system, and we study its implication for correlated insulators, metals, as well as disordered fixed points, where it can be used to establish a lower bound on the diffusivity in terms of the specific heat $D\gtrsim 1/(c_V^{2/d}τ_{\rm eq})$. Finally, we discuss how the local equilibration time can be directly measured in experiments.
