Greek Americans and the Cyprus Crisis, 1974-75: Ethnic Group Politics and Its Impact on U.S. Foreign Policy
Creators: name: Hicks, Sallie Marie
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In July 1974 a coup d'etat planned and supported by the military junta then ruling Greece led to the temporary downfall of Archbishop Makarios, the president of Cyprus. Turkey, arguing that the Turkish Cypriot community (18 percent of the population) was in danger, invaded the island. After two massive strikes in July and August, the Turkish army gained control of the northern 40 percent of the island. The result was a refugee population of about 210,000--most of whom were Greek Cypriots. Greek Americans responded to the Cyprus crisis almost immediately. Few attempted to justify the actions of the Greek military junta. However, Turkey's invasion of the island--especially its second strike--was condemned as aggressive and morally reprehensible. The fact that, in its invasion of Cyprus, Turkey had used U.S. military arms in violation of U.S. laws quickly became a central issue. During the year that followed, a heated debate developed between Congress and the U.S. Executive. Congress favored imposing an embargo on arms to Turkey until there was progress toward a peaceful Cyprus settlement. An embargo ultimately took effect in February 197.5. The Executive feared an aid ban would alienate Turkey and weaken the strategically critical NATO ally. As a result, it criticized Congress for giving in to ethnic pressures. What apparently startled observers was the swiftness and intensity of Greek American reaction. On the surface, the mobilization of the community was impressive. Already existing ethnic organizations --such as the churches and fraternal associations--provided convenient vehicles through which to articulate political interests and generate a grass-roots movement. In addition, formal groups, once established, displayed a surprising knowledge of lobby techniques and strategies. However, the effectiveness of the Greek American "lobby" probably was overrated. A test of three models of congressional decision making--the instructed-delegate model, the party-politics model, and the belief-system model--reveals that members of Congress based their decisions to vote for or against the Turkish arms embargo on a number of factors. These included personal conviction and party loyalty as well as constituency pressure. Ultimately, the administration, by thrusting Greek Americans into the limelight, helped build up the myth of a potent domestic lobby.

description: Neuroeconomics is examined critically using data on the response times of subjects who were asked to express their preferences in the context of the Allais Paradox. Different patterns of choice are found among the fast and slow responders. This suggests that we try to identify types of economic agents by the time they take to make their choices. Nevertheless, it is argued that it is far from clear if and how Neuroeconomics will change Economics.

description: The objective of this study is to help our client better understand UBC students’ preference and perception on milk beverages and suggest ways to encourage undergraduates to consider trying other plant-based milk beverages. We conducted an online questionnaire to investigated UBC students’ current preference on milk beverage and whether they will be open to trying other milk alternatives after either a popularity, nutritional or price intervention. We hypothesize that by providing information on popularity, nutritional and price of milk beverages as in intervention, people will be more opened to trying other milk products. However, after a chi-square data analysis from the data, we concluded that our interventions were not effective in influencing participants’ choice of milk beverages.

description: It is understood that in the current library ecosystem, catalogers must be willing to adapt to new semantic web environment while keeping in mind the crucial library mission  providing efficient access to information.  How could catalogers transform their jobs in order to enable library users to retrieve information more effectively in the age of semantic web? Researchers have argued that catalogers have the fundamental skills to successfully work with and repurpose the metadata originally created for use in traditional library systems by utilizing various programing languages.  In the new environment their jobs will require new tools and new systems but the basic skills of organization of information, knowledge of commonly used access points, and an ever growing knowledge of information technology systems will still be the same.  This presentation will stress the role of catalogers in bringing the data silos down, merging, augmenting, and creating interoperable data that can be used not just in library specific systems, but in various other systems.  Catalogers indispensable knowledge of controlled vocabularies, authority aggregators, metadata creation, metadata reuse, taxonomies, and data stores makes it all possible. We will demonstrate how catalogers knowledge can be leveraged to design an institutional repository and/or a researchers profiling system, create semantic web compliant data, create ontologies, utilize unique identifiers, and (re)use data from legacy systems.

description: Modern communication platforms require a huge amount of switched RF component banks especially made of different filters and antennas to cover all operating frequencies and bandwidth for the targeted services and application scenarios. In contrast, reconfigurable devices made of tunable components lead to a considerable reduction in complexity, size, weight, power consumption, and cost. This paper gives an overview of suitable technologies for tunable microwave components especially for SatCom applications. Special attention is given to tunable components based on functional materials such as barium strontium titanate (BST) and liquid crystal (LC).

description: Smallholder dairy farms are the major providers of marketed milk in Kenya, producing one to ten liters per day. Due to this low production level, farmers are usually associated in cooperatives. Dairy cooperatives are responsible for collecting the raw milk from the members to supply bigger volumes to dairy plants or to the market. These farms and cooperatives are often constrained by minimal hygienic standards and the lack of cooling systems leading to high microbial contamination of the milk. Moreover, under warm climatic conditions raw milk can exceed the maximum bacterial count established by food safety standards. As a result of these factors, 20-30% of the milk is estimated to be lost. Therefore, the Institute of Agricultural Engineering of the University of Hohenheim has conceptualized a solar milk cooling system based on the use of conventional milk-cans in Tunisia. The adopted strategy aims to offer a solution that can be adapted to different farm sizes and milk collecting scenarios. The ice, produced in a solar powered freezer, is used in the milk cans, which were designed with an integrated ice compartment and an external removable insulation for an effective cooling. The solar cooling system was transferred from the Tunisian context and adapted to the primary milk production in Siaya, Kenya. Depending on the amount of ice used, the milk cans can be used to preserve milk quality for six to 16 hours. This technology offers steady ice production year round and assures the preservation of milk quality from the farm to the main collection center or the market. The gradual introduction of the technology provided an important upgrade to the current value chain. Furthermore, the solar powered milk cooling system showed great potential to make the dairy value chain more efficient in off-grid contexts by using clean energy.

description: Carientothrips semirufus (Girault, 1928: 4)
(Figs 12, 41, 44)
 This species has remained inadequately distinguished from loisthus, a species that is equally widespread in eastern Australia. However, as indicated in the key above, the abdominal tergal chaetotaxy is very different. Moreover, loisthus is usually found at the base of grasses, whereas semirufus is associated with dead leaves and leaf-litter, as is the related new species snowi. Specimens of semirufus have been seen from Tasmania, eastern New South Wales including the ACT, and Queensland near Brisbane as well as from Cairns and Cape Tribulation in northern Queensland.
 Diagnosis. Apterous, usually clearly bicoloured with yellowish head (Fig. 12) and thorax distinct from brown abdomen; legs yellow; head longer than wide, distinctly projecting in front of eyes, postocellar and postocular setae blunt to weakly capitate. Pronotal am setae slender and acute, the other 4 pairs stouter, longer and weakly capitate, notopleural sutures complete (Fig. 12). Metanotum with weak transverse reticulation. Pelta with broad median lobe broadly joined to lateral areas (Fig. 41); tergites usually with about 20 small discal setae in transverse row, wingretaining setae minute (Fig. 44); tergite IX setae blunt and shorter than tube. Male with fore tarsal tooth.

description: Poor educational attainment, early marriages, low age at first birth and poor labour market outcomes continue to be of concern for young women in Uganda. Using the School to Work Transition Surveys (SWTS 2013 and 2015) and the Demographic and Health Surveys (2006 and 2011) for Uganda, this paper descriptively explores links between educational attainment, age of marriage and child-birth and labour market outcomes for young people (15-24 years of age). Overall, we find that young women leave school early (one in every two girls drops out before completion of the education cycle), give birth and/or get married before the legal age of 18 years (median age at marriage and first birth is 16.7 and 17.4 respectively), and a good number -18 percent are inactive (neither participating in the labour market nor attending school). Specifically, the results provided evidence on the critical role of education in transiting to stable/satisfactory employment; compared with those who leave school prematurely; young people who enter the labour market with more education are more likely transition to stable employment. Additional evidence shows that women (25-49 years) whose first birth/marriage was before the age of 20 are less likely to be in professional /technical and managerial occupations and more likely to be engaged in agriculture with less (if any) income accruing to them. This partly confirms the hypothesis that early labour market entry limits young people from accumulating the human capital necessary to get good jobs; and often confines them to less productive and vulnerable jobs.

description: We consider a model with a charged vector field along with a Cremmer-Scherk-Kalb-Ramond (CSKR) matter field coupled to a U(1) gauge potential. We obtain a natural Lorentz symmetry violation due to the local U(1) spontaneous symmetry breaking mechanism triggered by the imaginary part of the vector matter. The choice of the unitary gauge leads to the decoupling of the gauge-KR sector from the Higgs-KR sector. The excitation spectrum is carefully analyzed and the physical modes are identified. We propose an identification of the neutral massive spin-1 Higgs-like field with the massive Z' boson of the so-called mirror matter models.

description: Fertility decisions and associated impacts on young women’s entry into the labour markets are major policy concerns in sub Saharan Africa. This paper jointly estimates the drivers of key life cycle decisions of educational attainment, marriage age, age of first birth and age at first entry into the labour market for young women in Uganda aged 15-24 years. We estimate probit and hazard models for education attainment, first marriage, child bearing and early market entry. We find that education attainment impacts on early labour entry, age at first marriage and fertility decisions. The duration out of school—especially in the first three years, has a significant direct effect on early labour market entry and age at first marriage. As such enforcing the Uganda laws that prohibit early marriage could go a long way in curbing transmission of education poverty across generations. We also find that socio-cultural practices matter especially peer influences matter— higher the share of married women by cohort, the higher the hazard of getting married. There is a regional dimension on the timing of marriage with a higher risk of early marriages observed in the northern and eastern regions.

description: Despite the existence of a fairly strong, enabling legal and policy framework, young women in Uganda continue to face a number of challenges as they make crucial transitions into adulthood. In particular, girls are pushed into early marriages and pregnancies and are often deprived of full education attainment. These experiences are likely to have lasting impacts on their future opportunities, particularly, their engagement in productive and decent work. Using qualitative methodologies, this paper explores the inter linkages between the transitions from school to work or motherhood and/or marriage and the ensuing effects on future labour market outcomes and choices. Overall, the study finds that some discriminatory social norms and practices still exist –particularly in rural areas - and they affect the ability of girls and young women to realise their educational and economic capabilities. The majority of young people continue to be engaged in vulnerable employment with limited prospects for growth because of limited access to capital and inadequate skills to productively engage in other activities; the youth who lack skills and capital tend to get stuck in dead-end jobs. In contrast, young people with more education are likely to transit to better jobs as and when employment opportunities arise. Moreover, early fertility and marriage experiences often result in increased caring responsibilities and restricted mobility in search of employment opportunities.

description: To promote plant-based diets, research has been focusing on finding potential barriers faced by consumers when adopting meat substitute products. Some major barriers include texture, price, and appearance. We are interested in how the appearance of meat substitute influence people’s willingness to eat plant-based diet. Our hypothesis is meat substitutes with higher sensory attractiveness will increase participants’ willingness to follow plant-based diet, but the effect may be weaker for those who have high level of meat attachment. We use surveys to conduct the study. There are two conditions in our surveys, one contains a colorful and moisturized meat-free burger, the other one has a dry and not colorful burger. Participants’ meat attachment levels were also being tested at the end of the surveys. The results fully support our hypothesis: meat substitutes with higher sensory attractiveness increases people’s willingness to adopt plant-based diets, and a significant mediating effect exists for participants’ meat attachment levels. Our findings show that appearance of meat substitute has an impact. This suggests that UBC can improve the appearance of meat substitute products to increase students’ willingness to adopt plant-based diets in the future.

Adjoint-state method for Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin discretization, application to the inverse acoustic wave problem

description: In this paper, we perform non-linear minimization using the Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin method (HDG) for the discretization of the forward problem, and implement the adjoint-state method for the computation of the functional derivatives. Compared to continuous and discontinuous Galerkin discretizations, HDG reduces the computational cost by working with the numerical traces, hence removing the degrees of freedom that are inside the cells. It is particularly attractive for large-scale time-harmonic quantitative inverse problems which make repeated use of the forward discretization as they rely on an iterative minimization procedure. HDG is based upon two levels of linear problems: a global system to find the numerical traces, followed by local systems to construct the volume solution. This technicality requires a careful derivation of the adjoint-state method, that we address in this paper. We work with the acoustic wave equations in the frequency domain and illustrate with a three-dimensional experiment using partial reflection-data, where we further employ the features of DG-like methods to efficiently handle the topography with p-adaptivity.

description: The paper aimed identification of mechanisms of non-tariff barriers used by the EU Member States that affect the intra-EU exchange of agri-food products on the example of the trade between Poland and the Czech Republic. In the beginning the paper presents, the main theoretical assumptions of the free movement of goods, based on subsequent economic integration stages according to Balassa. Next it discusses, examples of the identified actions of the Czech Republic against the agri-food products imported from Poland, together with an analysis of potential economic mechanisms resulting from these activities. The next section presents the statistical effects of trade exchange, which allows us to formulate conclusions regarding the potential consequences of the barriers. On the basis of the analysis, it was found that soft non-tariff barriers on the Czech market have not brought any significant negative effects for the overall Polish exports of agri-food products to the Czech Republic. The negative consequences have been borne by individual traders, who according to the Czech authorities offered products that do not meet the requirements. Moreover, our study identified traditional non-tariff barriers introduced on the Czech market for export of all food suppliers which led to the collapse of exports from Poland, while at the same time the growth of the main suppliers from other EU Member States continued to grow.

description: Ever since the thirteen original Colonies became unified into a single nation, there has been an almost continual domestic dispute raging in the United States of America as to the rights and privileges of the individual States in relation to those of the Federal Government. One of the more recent of the controversies has pertained to the topic of the submerged lands off the coastal States of the United States. The discovery of rich oil and gas deposits underneath the coastal waters of California, Texas, and Louisiana presented the question as to whether these waters, and the wealth therein, fell under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government or the States off which they are located.

description: We show that the nuclear spin dynamics in the single-molecule magnet Mn12-ac below 1 K is governed by quantum tunneling fluctuations of the cluster spins, combined with intercluster nuclear spin diffusion. We also obtain the first experimental proof that - surprisingly - even deep in the quantum regime the nuclear spins remain in good thermal contact with the lattice phonons. We propose a simple model for how T-independent tunneling fluctuations can relax the nuclear polarization to the lattice, that may serve as a framework for more sophisticated theories.

description: Digital Engineering, the digital transformation of engineering to leverage digital technologies, is coming globally. This paper explores digital systems engineering, which aims at developing theory, methods, models, and tools to support the emerging digital engineering. A critical task is to digitalize engineering artifacts, thus enabling information sharing across platform, across life cycle, and across domains. We identify significant challenges and enabling digital technologies; analyze the transition from traditional engineering to digital engineering; define core concepts, including "digitalization", "unique identification", "digitalized artifacts", "digital augmentation", and others; present a big picture of digital systems engineering in four levels: vision, strategy, action, and foundation; briefly discuss each of main areas of research issues. Digitalization enables fast infusing and leveraging novel digital technologies; unique identification enables information traceability and accountability in engineering lifecycle; provenance enables tracing dependency relations among engineering artifacts; supporting model reproducibility and replicability; helping with trustworthiness evaluation of digital engineering artifacts.

description: 2015 Fifth Place
description: This chamber resides in a water tank buried 400 feet underground at Fermilab. It is surrounded by high-speed cameras, pressure and acoustic sensors, and temperature controls.The liquid chemical is superheated: any tiny disturbance will cause it to bubble. In this image a single neutron collided with the target fluid creating a bubble which then rose the surface, causing this small, atom-bomb-like eruption. The high-speed cameras were triggered immediately resulting in this photo, and the pressure was increased to quench the bubble explosion.This particular test helped scientists calibrate and test the sensitivity of the chamber. This 8-inch jar is one of several, some are as small as test tubes, others span a meter in diameter. Based on their observations, the research team plan to build a larger chamber which is even more sensitive and stable. This will hopefully help scientists directly detect dark matter.PICO Dark Matter Research CollaborationTools & Techniques: High-speed Camera

description: The study analysed sources of return on equity in countries with strong and economically weak farms. The economic size used in FADN was used as the breakdown criterion. In the group of countries where farms reached a relatively small economic size, there were Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia (from 2013), Malta, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovenia. Farms with a high standard value of production came from the Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany and Slovakia. The studies used panel methods, and the model with fixed effects was used to estimate model parameters. Factors that influenced the return on equity in the group of weaker countries included asset productivity, sales profitability (sales margin) and operating subsidies. In the group of countries with economically stronger farms, the return on equity rate was positively affected by the margin on sales and profitability of production measured by the ratio of total production to total costs and property debt. Which confirms that foreign capital can contribute to achieving positive effects from the perspective of the return on equity.

description: Since 2013, the European Union (EU) is negotiating with the United States of America (US) a Free Trade Agreement (FTA ), the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTI P). A controversial topic in the negotiations are the different quality standards in the agri-food sectors of both negotiating partners. In order to put into force a FTA all the EU Member States have to agree to the implementation of the contract. Poland has been a full EU Member State since 1 May 2004 and gained a strong position within the EU. Thus, the importance of this EU Member State is of great relevance to the EU’s trade policy. The main objective of this article is to analyse Poland’s trading position and its domestic interests. The study primarily aimed at investigating the awareness of the TTI P in the agri-food sector with focus on the quality standards of this industry. There has been no in-depth discussion of this sensitive issue within Polish companies of the sector, yet. In particular, the study identified an uncertainty regarding the application and interpretation of international standards in cross-border customersupplier relationships of food supply chains. For this reason, it is recommended to define these uncertainties and develop proposals for the harmonization and exploitation of synergies. In summary, the results have relevance for the sector.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to review the various measures undertaken by the Occupying Powers of Germany after World War II to compensate in part the losses incurred by those countries which contributed considerably in the successful prosecution of the war with Germany. In addition, an attempt is made to explain in detail the complex international machinery set up for the purpose of distributing the proceeds of reparation to qualified countries on an equitable basis. There is also a description of the various types of reparation paid by Western Germany to the victorious powers as well as summary tables which give the types and quantities of reparation distributed to the various recipient countries. U.S.S.R. receipts are not dealt with in this paper due to the lack of information regarding Soviet receipts in East Germany.
