title: Building a community of writers in a university: An ethnographic study
Creators: name: Saunders, Claire
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: This study investigates the role of a writing community in the development of academic lecturers’ writing practices in a new UK university, where teaching is prioritised and research is less prominent. In recent years this university has identified an improved position in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) as an institutional priority. The competing priorities encapsulated in this apparent shift in balance between teaching and research provided the backdrop for considering the challenges of building a writing culture in this context and investigating the role a writing group might play in such an endeavour. An ethnographic case-study approach was used to build a rich picture of the writing group and its activities over an extended period of time, drawing extensively on participants’ own words. The findings are presented as a series of stories, and they reveal the changes in writing practices that occurred as a result of participants’ involvement in a writing group. From a socio-cultural perspective, it is argued that the space within which the writing group occurred was socially constructed. To this end, theories of identity and space help to unravel the complex factors that affect the development of academics’ writing practices. The findings suggest that the writing group helped to establish writing as a priority for participants. It also changed the ways in which they thought about writing and about themselves as writers. The ethnographic approach revealed a detailed picture of its communal and dialogic nature. The space was shown to be instrumental in helping to define the nature and purpose of writing for the individual participants and the group as a whole. However, the findings also demonstrate that these changes proved difficult to sustain beyond the boundaries of the writing group, and that the reasons for this need to be set in the wider context of the institutional challenges facing new universities in the UK. The study concludes that the writing group provided a space where writing was legitimate and valued, and that its potential might be fully realised in an institutional context that articulates a clearly defined place for writing within its academic community.

description: Context. In the advent of new infrared, high-resolution spectrometers, accurate and precise atomic data in the infrared is urgently needed. Identifications, wavelengths, strengths, broadening and hyper-fine splitting parameters of stellar lines in the near-IR are in many cases not accurate enough to model observed spectra, and in other cases even non existing. Some stellar features are unidentified. Aims. The aim with this work is to identify a spectral feature at lambda(vac) = 1063.891 nm or lambda(air) = 1063.600 nm seen in spectra of stars of different spectral types, observed with the GIANO-B spectrometer. Methods. Searching for spectral lines to match the unidentified feature in linelists from standard atomic databases was not successful. However, by investigating the original, published laboratory data we were able to identify the feature and solve the problem. To confirm its identification, we model the presumed stellar line in the solar intensity spectrum and find an excellent match. Results. We find that the observed spectral feature is a stellar line originating from the 4s'-4p' transition in S I, and that the reason for its absence in atomic line databases is a neglected air-to-vacuum correction in the original laboratory measurements from 1967 for this line only. From interpolation we determine the laboratory wavelength of the S I line to be lambda(vac) = 1063.8908 nm or lambda(air) = 1063.5993 nm, and the excitation energy of the upper level to be 9.74978 eV.

description: Groundwater is one of the supply source most used for human consumption by dwellers in the Guriri neighborhood, São Mateus - ES. The large majority of dwellings in this neighborhood only has cesspit to disposal your domestic effluents. Therefore, it is imminent the risk transmission of waterborne diseases, that is caused by pathogens microorganisms from human feces and animals feces, or through of chemicals substances in concentrations outside of the potability standards established by the Portaria MS 2914/2011. The objective of this study was to investigate the groundwater quality, captured by wells located in Guriri neighborhood. During the study, 15 wells were monitored from August to October 2016. For the chemical physical parameters (ammonia, pH, free chlorine, color, total hardness, iron, turbidity, chloride and conductivity) were collected monthly water samples. For microbiological analysis for the determination of total and thermotolerant coliforms (Escherichia coli) was performed a single collect in October. According to the results, all water sampled wells had some disagreement with the values required by the Portaria Nº 2.914/2011 of the Ministry of Health. Thus, the use of these groundwater for human consumption without prior treatment represents a risk to public health.

description: The accession of Vietnam to WTO likely brings stiff competition in the domestic meat market, especially pork. Commercial pig farms, though contributing less than 20% of total pig meat production, will be much affected due to higher production scale. The study employed data from 77 commercial pig farms in the Red River Delta, showing that the farms are quite vulnerable to external conditions, of which disease outbreak and market fluctuation are the most risky factors. Both contribute to higher cost and lower market price for domestic pig meat, hence lower competitiveness of domestic pig producers. In 2012 when pork tariff is reduced 50%, pig producers will face competition from cheap imported meat. To enhance competitiveness of commercial pig farms, disease prevention and control are emphasized; sustainable supply of piglets should be concerned by building breeding stations in selected areas. Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development also need to speed up the progress of expanding corn and soybean areas. Government plays important role in facilitating and protecting pig producers through wise management of imported meats, building alliances among farmers and relevant actors, spending for R&D, and other macro policies.
title: Developments in the Political Thought of Theobald Wolfe Tone
Creators: name: Lucas, Katherine
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Theobald Wolfe Tone continues to occupy a hugely significant place in Irish history as the widely recognised founder of the modern republican movement. Yet his political ideas have largely been dismissed as inconsistent and ill-formed, insofar as they have been properly assessed at all. The aim of this thesis is to provide new insights into Tone’s ideas through textual analysis of his written works, both in published and in manuscript form. It begins by contextualising Tone’s early life, including his time studying in London, considering his early pamphlets and essays. Chapter Two argues that his understanding of Irish identity was based not on early romantic ideas about nations, but a more archetypal republican interpretation of citizen-state relations. Chapter Three offers the first full analysis of his engagement with Thomas Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicanism during his spell in the new American republic, while also addressing similarities between his arguments and those of the American colonists against the British government. Chapter Four then addresses one of the most common historiographical arguments, that Tone was a child of the French Revolution and radical Enlightenment. It argues that many of the ideas he ostensibly took from his time in France in fact corresponded closely with wider republican ideas about political virtue. Finally, Chapter Five tackles his relationship with the 1798 rebellion against British rule, the main reason for his enduring legacy. It details which elements of the rebellion strayed from his original intentions, such as its descent into violence. This thesis provides the most in-depth analysis to date of Tone’s political thought and argues that classical republicanism was one of the most significant influences on his political philosophy.

description: A água subterrânea, uma das principais fontes de abastecimento individual para consumo humano utilizada no Brasil, tem potencial de transmitir doenças de veiculação hídrica devido à presença de microrganismos patogênicos, como bactérias do grupo coliformes totais e fecais. Entre as bactérias do grupo de coliformes fecais a bactéria Escherichia Coli é frequentemente utilizada como microrganismo indicador de contaminação. Considerando a Escherichia Coli como microrganismo indicador foi desenvolvida uma metodologia de análise de risco relativo de doenças para água destinada ao consumo humano pelo Programa das Nações Unidas para os Assentamentos Humanos. De acordo com a Portaria MS nº 2.914/2011 a água destinada ao consumo humano deve apresentar ausência em 100 mL de coliformes totais e Escherichia Coli. Grande parte da população residente no bairro Guriri, São Mateus-ES capta água subterrânea através de poços tubulares como fonte alternativa ou complementar de água. Diante do exposto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a avaliação de risco relativo de doenças de fontes de abastecimento individual de água subterrânea usadas para consumo humano por moradores do bairro Guriri, São Mateus-ES. No período de outubro a novembro de 2017 foram coletadas 42 amostras de fontes de abastecimento individual de água subterrânea, as quais foram submetidas análises microbiológicas dos parâmetros coliformes totais e Escherichia Coli. Os resultados apontaram altos níveis de contaminação bacteriana 90,47% das amostras de água subterrânea atestaram presença de coliformes totais e 28,57% apresentaram valores positivos para Escherichia Coli. Na análise de risco relativo de doenças de veiculação hídrica 69,04% das amostras apresentaram risco relativo baixo, 23,8% risco relativo moderado, 4,76% risco relativo alto e 2,38% risco relativo muito alto. Portanto, é evidente a existência de risco à saúde pública devido ao potencial de desenvolvimento de doenças de veiculação hídrica pela população usuária que atualmente utiliza como fonte de abastecimento individual uma água com características impróprias para consumo humano conforme padrão microbiológico estabelecido pela Portaria MS nº 2.914/2011

description: We report on the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of polycrystalline (La0.5Pr0.5)0.6Ba0.4MnO3 (LPBMO), which was fabricated by a conventional solid-state reaction method. LPBMO undergoes a second-order paramagnetic to ferromagnetic (PM-FM) phase transition around a Curie temperature TC ~ 277 K. The maximum magnetic entropy change is ~ 3.22 J kg-1 K-1 for a magnetic field change of 5 T. Based on the modified-Arrott plot and the iterative Kouvel Fisher methods, a set of critical exponents (beta = 0.514, gamma = 1.164, and delta = 3.265) are determined. These values are close to those expected for the mean field model with long range interactions below TC and for the 3D-Ising model with short range interactions above TC. Effect of A-site co-doping (La,Pr) on the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of LPBMO is analyzed and discussed.

description: Everything is embedded with meaning and landscapes are no exception. Landscapes can be read, like images and texts, to tell or support different narratives. Each narrative inherently supports certain reality(ies) while denying others. This thesis is interested in how landscapes can be imbued with different narratives and the impact of the narrative(s) on the societies that interact with them. It uses the conduit of film-induced tourism to address this question. Vancouver is the shooting location for many film and television series. These productions are consumed by, and affect viewers around the world, yet few people know the origin of the images they are consuming and no trace of the production is left once the ephemeral film set wraps shooting. There is currently no consideration of the social and long-term effects of filming on the site. This provides a rich cultural opportunity to commemorate these histories with an intervention that socially and economically benefits the community and tourists alike.

description: Understanding of the evolutionary origins of protein structures represents a key component of the understanding of molecular evolution as a whole. Here we seek to elucidate how the features of an underlying protein structural "space" might impact protein structural evolution. We approach this question using lattice polymers as a completely characterized model of this space. We develop a measure of structural comparison of lattice structures that is analgous to the one used to understand structural similarities between real proteins. We use this measure of structural relatedness to create a graph of lattice structures and compare this graph (in which nodes are lattice structures and edges are defined using structural similarity) to the graph obtained for real protein structures. We find that the graph obtained from all compact lattice structures exhibits a distribution of structural neighbors per node consistent with a random graph. We also find that subgraphs of 3500 nodes chosen either at random or according to physical constraints also represent random graphs. We develop a divergent evolution model based on the lattice space which produces graphs that, within certain parameter regimes, recapitulate the scale-free behavior observed in similar graphs of real protein structures.

description: While survey research has a relatively long period of history in Taiwan since the late 1950s, the efforts in acquiring, maintaining and disseminating survey data in systematic ways are quite new to the social science community in Taiwan. The Center for Survey Research at Academia Sinica was established in 1994 as the most important, and the largest, national data provider for academic and quantitative research in Taiwan. In this paper, the discussion will be divided into three parts. The first part is to review the development of survey data archives in Taiwan with specific focus on the Center for Survey Research at Academia Sinica. The second part is to introduce the contents of data holdings and to describe how survey data are processed, preserved, and released to the general public in the Center for Survey Research in Taiwan. The last section in this paper will discuss the current status and future development in web applications.

description: We show that the DBI action for the singlet sector of the tachyon in two-dimensional string theory has a SL(2,R) symmetry, a real-time counterpart of the ground ring. The action can be rewritten as that of point particles moving in a de Sitter space, whose coordinates are given by the value of the eigenvalue and time. The symmetry then manifests as the isometry group of de Sitter space in two dimensions. We use this fact to write the collective field theory for a large number of branes, which has a natural interpretation as a fermion field in this de Sitter space. After spending some time building geometrical insight on facts about the condensation process, the state corresponding to a sD-brane is identified and standard results in quantum field theory in curved space-time are used to compute the backreaction of the thermal background.

description: We have used the Cornwall--Jackiw--Tomboulis method of composite operators and its formulation at finite temperature by Amelino-Camelia and Pi, in order to calculate the effective potential of the O(4) linear sigma model beyond the Hartree approximation. We have obtained a system of gap equations for the effective mass of sigma and the pions as well as for the condensate, the order parameter of the chiral phase transition. We find that the thermal effective mass of the pions at low temperatures remains lower than in the Hartree case, nevertheless deviates from the chiral limit. Our observation is consistent with other results which have been published previously.

description: We update the globular cluster bound on massive ($m_a$ up to a few 100 keV) axion-like particles (ALP) interacting with photons. The production of such particles in the stellar core is dominated by the Primakoff $γ+ Ze\to Ze +a$ and by the photon coalescence process $γ+γ\to a$. The latter, which is predominant at high masses, was not included in previous estimations. Furthermore, we account for the possibility that axions decay inside the stellar core, a non-negligible effect at the masses and couplings we are considering here. Consequently, our result modifies considerably the previous constraint, especially for $m_a \gtrsim 50$ keV. The combined constraints from Globular Cluster stars, SN 1987A, and beam-dump experiments leave a small triangularly shaped region open in the parameter space around $m_a \sim 0.5-1\,$ MeV and $g_{aγ} \sim 10^{-5}$ GeV$^{-1}$. This is informally known as the ALP "cosmological triangle" since it can be excluded only using standard cosmological arguments. As we shall mention, however, there are viable cosmological models that are compatible with axion-like particles with parameters in such region. We also discuss possibilities to explore the cosmological triangle experimentally in upcoming accelerator experiments.

description: The shaping of nuclear spin polarization profiles and the induction of nuclear resonances are demonstrated within a parabolic quantum well using an externally applied gate voltage. Voltage control of the electron and hole wave functions results in nanometer-scale sheets of polarized nuclei positioned along the growth direction of the well. RF voltages across the gates induce resonant spin transitions of selected isotopes. This depolarizing effect depends strongly on the separation of electrons and holes, suggesting that a highly localized mechanism accounts for the observed behavior.

description: As part of the MADIERA project (Multilingual Access to Data Infrastructures of the European Research Area), the development of an eight language multi-lingual thesaurus has continued. This paper highlights the changes made within the NESSTAR publisher to make the tasks of assigning index terms from this thesaurus at study, variable group and variable level to DDI marked-up metadata both consistent and less resource intensive. The ability to easily add high quality data content to the new MADIERA system has been given greatest priority in this project, so that the eventual end-user features can be demonstrated to their best advantage. It is hoped that a prototype user interface, exploiting the power of the thesaurus, will be available in time for the IASSIST conference.

description: Jet production at the Tevatron probes some of the smallest distance scales currently accessible. A gluon distribution that is enhanced at large x compared to previous determinations provides a better description of the Run 1b jet data from both CDF and D0. However, considerable uncertainty still remains regarding the gluon distribution at high x. In this paper, we examine the effects of this uncertainty, and of the remaining uncertainties in the NLO QCD theory, on jet cross section comparisons to Run 1b data. We also calculate the range of contributions still possible from any new physics. Predictions are also made for the expanded kinematic range expected for the ongoing Run 2 at the Tevatron and for the LHC.

description: The TESS mission will survey ~85 % of the sky, giving us the opportunity of extracting high-precision light curves of millions of stars, including stellar cluster members. In this work, we present our project "A PSF-based Approach to TESS High quality data Of Stellar clusters" (PATHOS), aimed at searching and characterise candidate exoplanets and variable stars in stellar clusters using our innovative method for the extraction of high-precision light curves of stars located in crowded environments. Our technique of light-curve extraction involves the use of empirical Point Spread Functions (PSFs), an input catalogue and neighbour-subtraction. The PSF-based approach allows us to minimise the dilution effects in crowded environments and to extract high-precision photometry for stars in the faint regime (G>13). For this pilot project, we extracted, corrected, and analysed the light curves of 16641 stars located in a dense region centred on the globular cluster 47 Tuc. We were able to reach the TESS magnitude T~16.5 with a photometric precision of ~1 % on the 6.5-hour timescale; in the bright regime we were able to detect transits with depth of ~34 parts per million. We searched for variables and candidate transiting exoplanets. Our pipeline detected one planetary candidate orbiting a main sequence star in the Galactic field. We analysed the period-luminosity distribution for red-giant stars of 47 Tuc and the eclipsing binaries in the field. Light curves are uploaded on the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes under the project PATHOS.

title: Social Policy, Welfare Innovation & Governance in England: The Creation and Implementation of Gilbert’s Act 1782
Creators: name: Ryland-Epton, Louise M.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: The thesis takes a piece of domestic legislation and uses it as a lens to examine the mechanisms of the state in the period 1765-1834. First, by explaining the process through which the Better Relief and Employment Bill 1781, after that known as Gilbert's Act, from its sponsor backbench MP Thomas Gilbert, was created, approved by parliament, and became law. Secondly, by the way, this welfare legislation was adopted and implemented at a local level, through a micro-political case-study of Gloucestershire parishes utilising its provisions. Thirdly, examining how and why those parishes thereafter abandoned the legislation. Following the Act through its lifecycle, using a more extensive range of source material than previously used, it provides an innovative perspective on governance in the period. Section 1 elucidates how social policy bills became law in a period when the central government withdrew its interest from domestic concerns. It portrays the symbiotic relationship between national and local interests and how Gilbert, could create an effective campaign within parliament and across England by utilising correspondence and emerging print culture, which focused on local interests, particularly magistrates, to develop and drive reform. Section 2 looks at its impact and focuses on 15 Gloucestershire parishes who implemented the Act and depicts a matrix of elements acting as drivers to its adoption, often instigated by magistrates. However, magisterial support for the adoption of Gilbert’s Act or magistrates ongoing encouragement did not ensure strict compliance with its provisions. Instead, the manifestation of the Act was highly variable. It facilitated cooperation with magistrates in executing welfare administration in some instances. Section 3 shows the end of Gilbert’s Act in Gloucestershire was associated with the Sturges Bourne Acts and Poor Law Amendment Act. It was again influenced by local magistrates.
A DTD for Qualitative Data: Extending the DDI to Mark-up the Content of Non-numeric Data

name: Bishop, Libby
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: In this paper we present a set of recommended elements (tags) that might enable the DDI to be extended to the description of the structure and content of qualitative social science data. The DDI is appropriate for describing study, file and variable level information for qualitative datasets, but TEI-like headers are also required to enable XML-based data exploration. ESDS Qualidata has identified a growing need for a standard framework (for data and content-level metadata) for facilitating the sharing, presentation and exchange of digital qualitative data via the web. To this end we have already developed a basic prototype methodology using XML standards and technologies. Recent work has focused on specifying a general and formal application for encoding, searching and retrieving the content of a broad class of social science data resources. Work in progress has been to formulate a recommended set of guidelines for preparing and marking-up data to a common and minimum recommended XML-based standard, for data providers/publishers to publish to online data systems, such as ESDS Qualidata Online, and software companies who currently offer qualitative data analysis software to consider with data exchange in mind.

description: We investigate the launch of negative upward streamers from sprite glows. This phenomenon is readily observed in high-speed observations of sprites and underlies the classification of sprites into carrot or column types. First, we describe how an attachment instability leads to a sharply defined region in the upper part of the streamer channel. This region has an enhanced electric field, low conductivity and strongly emits in the first positive system of molecular nitrogen. We identify it as the sprite glow. We then show how, in the most common configuration of a carrot sprite, several upward streamers emerge close to the lower boundary of the glow, where negative charge gets trapped and the lateral electric field is high enough. These streamers cut off the current flowing towards the glow and lead to the optical deactivation of the glow above. Finally, we discuss how our results naturally explain angel sprites.

Data pre-processing, normalization, alignment and value estimation
Musketeer demonstrator

description: This deliverable (D4.2 "Pre-processing, normalization, data alignment and data value estimation") is the first software outcome of MUSKETEER’s WP4 in the form of a Demonstrator. Besides the software prototype itself, it comprises a report with the description of the operation of the MUSKETEER Demonstrator under different operations, as well as the software documentation and description of the software components. The implementations included in the Demonstrator are preliminary yet fully operative, although possibly their design may change as the project progresses. In future versions, more operations and modules will be available, some of the existing modules could be replaced by improved versions (the currently available algorithms are rather simple), and some general redesign may be necessary to facilitate the integration with the rest of MUSKETEER components. This deliverable is in the form of software will present Version 0 of the library covering a set of pre-processing steps needed before using the machine learning algorithms. Models for the estimation of the data value will also be provided.
A reductive group with finitely generated cohomology algebras

description: Let $G$ be the linear algebraic group $SL_3$ over a field $k$ of characteristic two. Let $A$ be a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra on which $G$ acts rationally by $k$-algebra automorphisms. We show that the full cohomology ring $H^*(G,A)$ is finitely generated. This extends the finite generation property of the ring of invariants $A^G$. We discuss where the problem stands for other geometrically reductive group schemes.

description: A statistical mechanical distance constraint model (DCM) is presented that explicitly accounts for network rigidity among constraints present within a system. Constraints are characterized by local microscopic free energy functions. Topological re-arrangements of thermally fluctuating constraints are permitted. The partition function is obtained by combining microscopic free energies of individual constraints using network rigidity as an underlying long-range mechanical interaction -- giving a quantitative explanation for the non-additivity in component entropies exhibited in molecular systems. Two exactly solved 2-dimensional toy models representing flexible molecules that can undergo conformational change are presented to elucidate concepts, and to outline a DCM calculation scheme applicable to many types of physical systems. It is proposed that network rigidity plays a central role in balancing the energetic and entropic contributions to the free energy of bio-polymers, such as proteins. As a demonstration, the distance constraint model is solved exactly for the alpha-helix to coil transition in homogeneous peptides. Temperature and size independent model parameters are fitted to Monte Carlo simulation data, which includes peptides of length 10 for gas phase, and lengths 10, 15, 20 and 30 in water. The DCM is compared to the Lifson-Roig model. It is found that network rigidity provides a mechanism for cooperativity in molecular structures including their ability to spontaneously self-organize. In particular, the formation of a characteristic topological arrangement of constraints is associated with the most probable microstates changing under different thermodynamic conditions.

description: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS), in collaboration with USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), invites applications for a competitively awarded grant to establish a research center to administer the Research Innovation and Development Grants in Economics (RIDGE) Program. The USDA Ridge Center will: 1. Provide renewed focus on economic aspects of food and nutrition assistance research; 2. Stimulate innovative research on domestic food and nutrition assistance issues by providing small grants for new analyses of the USDA major food and nutrition assistance programs, food security, and smaller, less studied programs such as the Summer Food Service Program; 3. Broaden the network of social scientists who collaborate in expanding the understanding of the economic, nutrition, and health outcomes of participation in USDA’s food assistance programs, as well as of the issues surrounding program implementation and delivery, and 4. Achieve cost savings through administration of program activities at a single center. ERS anticipates that $600,000 will be awarded in fiscal year 2016 to support this activity with additional funding, subject to availability, for 2 more years. This publication describes the RIDGE Center responsibilities and application requirements. The deadline for submission of applications is August 1, 2016.

description: While time-dependent perturbation theory shows inefficient carrier-phonon scattering in semiconductor quantum dots, we demonstrate that a quantum kinetic description of carrier-phonon interaction predicts fast carrier capture and relaxation. The considered processes do not fulfill energy conservation in terms of free-carrier energies because polar coupling of localized quantum-dot states strongly modifies this picture.

Pressures, impacts, conservation, and management

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Many fish stocks, as well as other renewable resources, are shared between different countries. Resource management then relies on international agreements and quota enforcement. Much work has been done on whether cooperative management is feasible and how and under what conditions such outcomes can be reached. The focus of our study differs from the existing game theoretical work in that we go one step further by asking what happens once a sharing agreement has been established. Does each country in fact impose the conditions of the sharing agreement on their fishing industries by ensuring strict enough enforcement of quotas to meet international obligations? In most, if not all, commercial fisheries, illegal fishing is a serious and significant problem (Agnew, et al., 2009). This is also the case for fisheries in which sharing agreements have been reached, such as the NEA cod fishery, which is shared 50-50 between Norway and Russia
