title: Football in the context of China: exploring the social media strategy and fan experiences
Creators: name: Wu, Yue
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: In recent decades, with the development of economy, sports, and particularly football, have received constant attention and have developed rapidly in China. The development and growing maturity of social media have accelerated this process, which has further expanded the size of the football market in China. However, in the academic domain, limited attention has been paid to the development of Chinese social media platforms, particularly in relation to sport branding issues. Research into social media strategy and fan experience in the Chinese context still remain in its infancy. To address these gaps, the research aims fulfilled by this thesis exploring how social media was used by professional sport brands related to branding purposes, and how sport fans were motivated to use social media. To achieve these objectives, qualitative interviews and quantitative content analysis were employed. Five clubs, three European and two Chinese clubs, were selected as the target samples. Ten club communication managers and twenty-five loyal fans were interviewed. 2144 social media posts were collected and examined by content analysis. The research results find that visual content, including Image and Video, are the most popular post types. The trend towards greater use of Video over recent years, will make this increasingly important in the future. The first team related content still constitutes the core information posted by clubs, but other content with non-product-related attributes also plays an important role in enhancing fan engagement and identification. The research into fan experience reveals that fans are primarily motivated by informational needs, but would like to access more professional, exclusive, and high-quality content. Moreover, Weibo is found to be an appropriate platform for information dissemination and information seeking, which supports the conclusions of previous research. These findings extend the knowledge of sports branding and marketing, fan research and social media study, particularly in the context of China. The research also has practical implications for professionals responsible for social media branding in the Chinese market.

description: We study a model of interacting spinless fermions in a one dimensional lattice with supersymmetry (SUSY). The Hamiltonian is given by the anti-commutator of two supercharges $Q$ and $Q^\dagger$, each of which is comprised solely of fermion operators and possesses one adjustable parameter $g$. When the parameter $g$ vanishes, the model is identical to the one studied by Nicolai [H. Nicolai, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. \textbf{9}, 1497 (1976)], where the zero-energy ground state is exponentially degenerate. On the other hand, in the large-$g$ limit the model reduces to the free-fermion chain with a four-fold degenerate ground state. We show that for finite chains SUSY is spontaneously broken when $g > 0$. We also rigorously prove that for sufficiently large $g$ the ground-state energy density is nonvanishing in the infinite-volume limit. We further analyze the nature of the low-energy excitations by employing various techniques such as rigorous inequalities, exact numerical diagonalization, and renormalization group method with bosonization. The analysis reveals that the low-energy excitations are described by massless Dirac fermions (or Thirring fermions more generally), which can be thought of as Nambu-Goldstone fermions from the spontaneous SUSY breaking.

description: Purpose: Urban greening is politically fostered as an adaptation strategy to climate change. Therefore, the demand for fertile planting substrates increases. Such substrates are usually mixed from mined geogenic resources but should rather be produced from recycled materials. Furthermore, their hydraulic properties should be designed according to their application, e.g., by optimizing the mixing ratio of their components. Therefore, this study introduces an approach to investigate the water retention curves (WRC) of soil-like substrates as a function of the mixing ratio of two recycled components: exemplarily for green waste compost (GWC) and ground bricks (GB) in the fraction of sand. Materials and methods: Seven mixing ratios for GWC and GB, 0/100, 18/82, 28/72, 37/63, 47/53, 68/32, and 100/0 have been packed to mixture-specific densities using a newly constructed packing device. The packing density resulted from applying six strokes with a constant momentum of 5.62 × 10 −3 N s m −2 that was chosen according to the German green roof guideline. Thus, a standardized compaction was assured. The WRCs were measured using the simplified evaporation method in five replicates for each of the seven mixtures. A set of water retention models was parameterized and analyzed in regard to their suitability to represent the full range of binary mixtures. Results and discussion: The newly constructed packing device enables to pack cylinders reproducibly. The densities in the cylinders for the mixtures varied from 0.64 g cm −3 (GWC/GB = 100/0) to 1.35 g cm −3 (GWC/GB = 0/100) with a coefficient of variation less than 1.3%. The simplified evaporation method delivered homogeneous results for all five replicates of the investigated mixtures. The WRC of the seven mixtures is the result of a complex combination of the pore systems of GWC and GB. The multi-modal water retention models of Peters, Durner, and Iden are principally suitable to describe soil-like substrates that are rich in organic matter. The models PDI (van Genuchten) and PDI (Fredlund–Xing) best described the WRCs for the full range of mixing ratios according to the quality criterion RMSE. Conclusions: The study delivers a template how to prepare and analyze soil-like substrates regarding their WRCs using the simplified evaporation method. Complemented by total porosity and measurements at pF > 4, it is a suitable method to gain high-resolution WRCs of soil-like substrates. Available water retention models are capable to describe the hydraulic behavior of binary mixtures over the full mixing ratio. Therefore, it would be possible to model the WRC of binary mixtures as a function of their mixing ratio.

description: Purpose: Topsoil and peat are often taken from intact rural ecosystems to supply the urban demand for fertile soils and soil-like substrates. One way of reducing this exploitation is to recycle suitable urban wastes to produce Technosols and technogenic soil-like substrates. In this study, we investigate the role earthworms can play in impacting the hydraulic properties of such a soil-like substrate. Materials and methods: In a 4-month microcosm experiment, the influence of the earthworm species D. veneta on the hydraulic properties of brick-compost mixture was examined. Of the ten boxes filled with ca. 11 dm 3 of ground bricks (0.7 cm 3 cm −3 ) and green waste compost (0.3 cm 3 cm −3 ), five contained earthworms (W-boxes) and the remaining five were used as controls (C-boxes). The substrate was periodically irrigated and the weight of the boxes and of the drained water was monitored. At the same time, images were taken from the front of the boxes to quantify the activity of the earthworms by image analysis and soil aggregation was studied with micrographs. Before and after the experiment, water retention curves were determined from disturbed samples of the substrate using the simplified evaporation method. Results and discussion: After 6 weeks, differences between the C- and the W-boxes were evident. Micrographs showed brick-compost aggregates only for the substrates processed by earthworms. The earthworm activity leads to reduced evaporation and an increased water content in the respective microcosms. The effect persists even after disturbing the substrate. The proportion of plant-available soil water is about 0.02 cm 3 cm −3 higher for the substrate processed by earthworms (0.250 ± 0.009 cm 3 cm −3 ) compared with the control (0.230 ± 0.008 cm 3 cm −3 ). Conclusions: This study shows that earthworms are capable of ingesting and processing crushed bricks together with compost. The earthworms produced aggregates which persisted after disturbance and had a positive influence on the water retention capacity of such a soil-like substrate constructed from waste.

description: There are growing concerns on the effect of climate change and the environment. The share of shipping emissions in global anthropogenic emissions has increased from 2.76% in 2012 to 2.89% in 2018. In addition, the pace of carbon intensity reduction has slowed since 2015 with the average annual percentage changes ranging from 1 to 2%. The Levelised Cost of Mobility (LCOM) index is used to consider different options on a level field. This index comprises the CAPEX of the engines and tanks, the OPEX of the engines, the cost of the lost cargo space, fuel cost and CO2 cost. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to obtain the final unit of comparison of the LCOM which is expressed in Euros/1000DWT-km. The values utilised are sourced from literature review, or from a trained Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based on telemetry data of a 9000 TEU container vessel. Expected results are that LCOM values provide an indication of the cost that ship owners must bear to consider alternative fuels, or how policies may be invoked to encourage alternative fuels to be economically feasible to mineral fuels. Finally, given that vessels greater than 5000 gross tonnes must install fuel consumption sensors from 1 January 2019, this paper presents a framework on how telemetry data can be incorporated into a Machine Learning pipeline that can help answer specific business questions

description: Quantum field theory - our basic framework for describing all non-gravitational physics - conflicts with general relativity: the latter precludes the standard definition of the former's essential principle of locality, in terms of commuting local observables. We examine this conflict more carefully, by investigating implications of gauge (diffeomorphism) invariance for observables in gravity. We prove a dressing theorem, showing that any operator with nonzero Poincare charges, and in particular any compactly-supported operator, in flat-spacetime quantum field theory must be gravitationally dressed once coupled to gravity, i.e. it must depend on the metric at arbitrarily long distances, and we put lower bounds on this nonlocal dependence. This departure from standard locality occurs in the most severe way possible: in perturbation theory about flat spacetime, at leading order in Newton's constant. The physical observables in a gravitational theory therefore do not organize themselves into local commuting subalgebras: the principle of locality must apparently be reformulated or abandoned, and in fact we lack a clear definition of the coarser and more basic notion of a quantum subsystem of the Universe. We discuss relational approaches to locality based on diffeomorphism-invariant nonlocal operators, and reinforce arguments that any such locality is state-dependent and approximate. We also find limitations to the utility of bilocal diffeomorphism-invariant operators that are considered in cosmological contexts. An appendix provides a concise review of the canonical covariant formalism for gravity, instrumental in the discussion of Poincare charges and their associated long-range fields.

description: Die Arbeit beinhaltet eine Analyse der Effekte, die durch Störungen stochastischer Unabhängigkeit bei statistischen Verfahren hervorgerufen werden können. Die Störungen stochastischer Unabhängigkeit sind hierbei durch quantitativ beschreibbare Beschränkungen stochastischer Abhängigkeit gegeben. Zu diesem Zweck werden quantitative Maße für Abhängigkeit vorgestellt. Diese basieren sowohl auf klassischen Konzepten wie z.B. dem strong-mixing-Koeffizienten nach Rosenblatt, als auch auf neueren Konzepten, die auf bedingten Verteilungsfunktionen und bedingten Erwartungswerten aufbauen. Die quantitative Beschreibung stochastischer Abhängigkeit ermöglicht es, die vom Ausmaß stochastischer Abhängigkeit hervorgerufenen Auswirkungen auf statistische Verfahren zu untersuchen. Ein erster Schritt behandelt infinitesimale Abweichungen von stochastischer Unabhängigkeit, und die qualitative Robustheit statistischer Verfahren. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich bei geringer Abweichung von der stochastischen Unabhängigkeit der eingehenden Daten das Verhalten vieler statistischer Verfahren auch nur gering ändert. Ein Großteil der Arbeit behandelt das asymptotische Verhalten statistischer Verfahren. So wird die Konsistenz der empirischen Verteilungsfunktion im Sinne des Glivenko-Cantelli-Satzes bei beschränkter stochastischer Abhängigkeit gezeigt. Darauf aufbauend wird die Konsistenz einiger Klassen von Punktschätzern, die bereits aus der robusten Statistik bekannt sind, bei Abhängigkeit gezeigt. Darüber hinaus werden Methoden zur Bestimmung asymptotischer Verteilungen bzw. zur Bestimmung des schwachen Konvergenzverhaltens von Schätzern bei stochastischer Abhängigkeit geliefert. Zu diesem Zweck werden ein Zentraler Grenzwertsatz und ein abstrakter Funktionaler Zentraler Grenzwertsatz bei Abhängigkeit bewiesen. Anhand von Beispielen wird demonstriert, wie diese Resultate zur Bestimmung schwacher Konvergenz weiterer Schätzer und Statistiken verwendet werden können.

description: Here we report the synthesis and discovery of superconductivity in a novel ternary iridium-arsenide compound BaIr2As2. The polycrystalline BaIr2As2 sample was synthesized by a high temperature and high pressure method. Crystal structural analysis indicates that BaIr2As2 crystallizes in the ThCr2Si2-type layered tetragonal structure with space group I4/mmm (No. 139), and the lattice parameters were refined to be a = 4.052(9) Å and c = 12.787(8) Å. By the electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements we found type-II superconductivity in the new BaIr2As2 compound with a Tc (critical temperature) of 2.45 K, and an upper critical field u0Hc2(0) about 0.2 T. Low temperature specific heat measurements gave a Debye temperature about 202 K and a distinct specific jump with delta Ce/γTc = 1.36, which is close to the value of BCS weak coupling limit and confirms the bulk superconductivity in this new BaIr2As2 compound.

description: Die Früherkennung von Kindern mit Entwicklungsstörungen im Vorschulalter ist in Deutschland derzeit nur unzureichend gesichert. Besonders im Rahmen der gesetzlichen Früherkennungsuntersuchungen werden Entwicklungsstörungen häufig nicht festgestellt, was sich vor allem mit der mangelnden Standardisierung der Untersuchungen und ihrer niedrigen Inanspruchnahme durch Familien aus sozial benachteiligten Schichten begründet. Durch eine systematische Beobachtung der Kinder durch die Erzieherin im Kindergarten könnte ein besserer Zugang zu den Kindern geschaffen und erste Anzeichen von Auffälligkeiten frühzeitig erkannt werden. Eine wesentliche Voraussetzung dafür ist jedoch, dass der Erzieherin geeignete Beobachtungsverfahren bereitgestellt werden. Mit diesem Ziel wurde das Dortmunder Entwicklungsscreening für den Kindergarten DESK 3-6 (Tröster, Flender & Reineke, 2004) konstruiert. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit werden in fünf Studien die Gütekriterien des DESK 3-6 überprüft. Die Überprüfung der Beurteilerübereinstimmung zeigt gute Ergebnisse für die Beobachtung eines Kindes durch zwei Erzieherinnen. Die Güte der Übereinstimmung ist dabei abhängig vom Grad der Standardisierung der Entwicklungsaufgaben, dem Alter der zu beobachtenden Kinder und dem beobachteten Entwicklungsbereich. Ferner kann gezeigt werden, das es für eine zuverlässige Beobachtung von großer Bedeutung ist, dass die Erzieherin das Kind gut kennt. Im Hinblick auf die Validität des DESK 3-6 zeigen sich hohe Zusammenhänge der Beobachtung der Erzieherin mit 1) dem Wiener Entwicklungstest (WET, Kastner-Koller & Deimann, 2002), 2) Angaben der Eltern zur bisherigen Entwicklung ihres Kindes und 3) der Einschätzung des Entwicklungsstandes und des Förderschwerpunktes durch eine Therapeutin aus der Frühförderstelle. Die Ergebnisse der eigenen Untersuchungen werden abschließend zusammengefasst und Vorschläge zur Verbesserung der Früherkennung von Entwicklungsstörungen unter Berücksichtigung der Entwicklungsbeobachtungen durch Erzieherinnen im Kindergarten formuliert.

description: Embedded, smart, and IoT devices are increasingly popular in numerous everyday settings. Since lower-end devices have the most strict cost constraints, they tend to have few, if any, security features. This makes them attractive targets for exploits and malware. Prior research proposed various security architectures for enforcing security properties for resource-constrained devices, e.g., via Remote Attestation (RA). Such techniques can (statically) verify software integrity of a remote device and detect compromise. However, run-time (dynamic) security, e.g., via Control-Flow Integrity (CFI), is hard to achieve. This work constructs an architecture that ensures integrity of software execution against run-time attacks, such as Return-Oriented Programming (ROP). It is built atop a recently proposed CASU -- a low-cost active Root-of-Trust (RoT) that guarantees software immutability. We extend CASU to support a shadow stack and a CFI monitor to mitigate run-time attacks. This gives some confidence that CFI can indeed be attained even on low-end devices, with minimal hardware overhead.

description: Introduction; Rubella is an acute contagious infection caused by the Rubella virus. It presents fever with maculopapular rash similar to Measles. Rubella is usually mild in children. When woman contracts rubella early in pregnancy, serious consequences may occur including birth defects known as congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Little is known about rubella epidemiology and the incidence of CRS in Africa. At present Rubella vaccine is not included in any vaccination program in Ethiopia. In November 2013, Miyo Woreda of Borena zone, Oromia - Ethiopia reported suspected Rubella cases and we investigated to confirm the etiology, identify potential risk factors and suggest control measures. Methods: We defined a confirmed Rubella case as an illness characterized by acute onset of generalized maculopapular rash, fever, arthralgia, arthritis, lymphadenopathy, conjunctivitis with positive serologic test for rubella immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody in the blood specimen. We collected ten blood samples for laboratory confirmation. We conducted matched case control study to identify possible risk factors. Result: We identified 183 suspected Rubella cases with zero death . The median age of the case was 6 years. The overall attack rate of this outbreak was 29 per 100,000 populations. We collected ten blood samples with 100% positivity rate for Rubella IgM antibodies. Travelling history to outbreak area (OR= 26.29, 95% CI= 9.15 -77.87), having contact with a person who had a recent illness consistent with Rubella (OR: 34.0, 95% CI: 11.44-104.90), living in unventilated house (OR=14.6: 5.59-38.14) were found to be significantly associated with rubella infection. Conclusion; Recent travel to an areas where cases of Rubella was reported, attending a school where the cases present and the housing condition with poor ventilation were significantly associated with rubella outbreak. Key Words: Rubella, Rubella outbreak, CRS

description: Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a fundamental pillar of modern data pipelines, but its traditional implementation is woefully inadequate for modern data problems. In this work we present our contributions to the field of streaming principal component analysis---research that adds critical flexibility to one of the most common tools in optimization. This includes a practical new algorithm--AdaOja--which we outline in the context of both streaming principal component analysis and streaming kernel principal component analysis. We also present new mathematical theory inspired by our study of theoretical convergence for this algorithm. Streaming principal component analysis and streaming kernel principal component analysis can be seamlessly integrated into many applications with significant improvements in scalability. We specifically demonstrate the considerable improvements that can be achieved by applying streaming KPCA to kernel analog forecasting (KAF) for dynamical systems.

description: We adapt the generalized Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method to an interacting many-phonon system free of impurities. The many-phonon system is obtained from applying the Lee-Low-Pine (LLP) transformation to the Frohlich model which describes a mobile impurity coupled to noninteracting phonons. We specialize our general HFB description of the Frohlich polaron to Bose polarons in quasi-1D cold atom mixtures. The LLP transformed many-phonon system distinguishes itself with an artificial phonon-phonon interaction which is very different from the usual two-body interaction. We use the quasi-one-dimensional model, which is free of an ultraviolet divergence that exists in higher dimensions, to better understand how this unique interaction affects polaron states and how the density and pair correlations inherent to the HFB method conspire to create a polaron ground state with an energy in good agreement with and far closer to the prediction from Feynman's variational path integral approach than mean-field theory where HFB correlations are absent.

description: Student-athletes often believe that self-criticism is necessary to avoid complacency, but this response can lead to anxiety and stress. Research shows that self-compassion is an adaptive way to cope with mistakes and adversities (see Ferrari et al., 2019; Röthlin et al., 2019 for review). Although there are many benefits of self-compassion, fear that self-compassion harms performance may discourage athletes from adopting this approach (e.g., Ferguson et al., 2015). This study developed and tested an online self-compassion intervention called Resilience and Enhancement in Sport, Exercise and Training (RESET) designed specifically for NCAA student-athletes, seeking to help athletes respond more effectively to mistakes, failures, and adversity. RESET was designed for a broader student-athlete population and is the first to adapt the Mindful Self-Compassion program (MSC; Neff & Germer, 2013) for athletes. Within-group analyses (paired t-tests) and between-group analyses (multilevel modeling) were used to assess the effectiveness of the intervention on athletes’ ability to cope with failure, improve well-being, and increase perceived sport performance. Compared to the waitlist control (n = 102, 70% women), athletes who participated in the RESET training (n = 148, 90% women) experienced significant increases in self-compassion from Time 1 to Time 2 as well as significant decreases in fear of self-compassion and state self-criticism. They also displayed improvements in perceived performance (i.e., athlete-rated performance, coach-rated performance) compared to the waitlist control. Despite observing significant improvements on well-being (reduced depression, anxiety, stress) in the within-group analyses, no statistically significant changes were found for any of the well-being measures in the between-group analyses. Notably, a main effect of gender was found for athlete-rated performance indicating that men athletes reported higher performance than women athletes. Program evaluation measures, including participant testimonials, extend the quantitative findings and demonstrate that through this accessible online intervention, student-athletes and coaches learned adaptive coping skills that are applicable to sport and other life domains. Future research should explore long-term benefits of the RESET training on various coping, well-being, and performance measures.

description: File consists of a bound collection of 8 issues of "The O-Pip". "The O-Pip," short for "The Observation Post," was an artillery paper created by Archie H. Wills (editor), Gordon A. Cameron (business manager) and J. Mitch Inglis (cartoonist and illustrator) and published between 1917 and 1919 for the 58th Battery C. F. A. (Canadian Forces Artillery). The paper consisted of humorous columns, illustrations, cartoons, and photographs; articles about camp life and news, brigade sports but also listed casualties. The final issue, published in Germany records a history of the 58th Battery. Loose items found inserted between pages of the O' Pip include a program for an event commemorating the 60th reunion of the 15th Brigade in Victoria, 1976, and news clippings, including an obituary for Archie Wills published in the Times-Colonist, April 7, 1988.

description: We first calculate the jet quenching parameter of an anisotropic plasma with a U(1) chemical potential via the AdS/CFT duality. The effects of charge, anisotropy parameter and quark motion direction on the jet quenching parameter are investigated. We then discuss the situation of anisotropic black brane in the IR region. We study both the jet quenching parameters along the longitudinal direction and transverse plane.

description: We calculate the cross section of diffractive dijet photoproduction in $ep$ scattering at next-to-leading order (NLO) of perturbative QCD (pQCD), which we supplement by a model of factorization breaking for the resolved-photon contribution. In this model, the suppression depends on the flavor and momentum fraction of the partons in the photon. We show that within experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the resulting approach provides a good description of the available HERA data in most of the bins. Hence, taken together with the observation that NLO pQCD explains well the data on diffractive photoproduction of open charm in $ep$ scattering, our model of factorization breaking presents a viable alternative to the scheme based on the global suppression factor.

description: Background; Complications of pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of disability and death among women between the ages of 15-49. Attempts to predict these complications before they occur have not been successful. Skilled attendance at all births is considered to be the single most critical intervention for ensuring safe motherhood. Objective; To assess factors associated with safe delivery service utilization among mothers who gave birth during last five years preceding the survey in Sheka zone. Methodology; A cross sectional community based survey supplemented by qualitative design was conducted in Sheka Zone from February to March 2008. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the sample of 554 women. Data were collected through structured pre-tested and semi structured questionnaires and checklist. The data were entered in to Epinfo version 3.3 and analyzed on SPSS version 13 computer software. A univirate, bivirate and multivariate analyses were done using frequencies, x2 and binary logistic regressions respectively. The study was conducted after approval of Institutional Review Board of Medical faculty, Addis Ababa University and informed verbal consent was taken from study participants. Result; The study revealed that women's educational status, birth order, prenatal care use, previous delivery at health facility and birth complication encounter during labor were independent predictors of maternal utilization of safe delivery service. Mothers who completed at least secondary school were more likely to give birth at health facility than those uneducated (AOR= 3.26, 95% CI= 1.51-7.06). Women with birth order above four were less likely to give birth at a health facility than those with first order births AOR= 0.21, 95%CI= 0.10-0.43. Women who had encountered problems in their immediate birth and received prenatal care were more likely to give birth at health facilities AOR= 33.78 95% CI=16.44.-69.39) and (AOR= 2.55, 95% CI= 1.05 6.21) respectively. xi Conclusion; Factors affecting safe delivery service utilization are related to the user (women) and provider (health system) those are interrelated to each other. Consequently women empowerment, promotion of maternal education, prenatal care utilization, information education and communication on obstetric risks and general health service expansion were recommended.

description: An important problem in systems biology is to infer the architecture of gene regulatory networks and biochemical pathways from postgenomic data. Various reverse engineering methods have been developed and proposed in the Statistics and Bioinformatics literature, and it is important to understand their relative merits and shortcomings. To shed light onto this problem, the learning performances of three widely-used Machine Learning methodologies: Relevance Networks, Graphical Gaussian models, and Bayesian Networks are evaluated and compared on different real and synthetic test data sets taken from the RAF signalling network which describes the interactions between eleven phosphorylated proteins and phospholipids in human immune system cells.
