description: Recent years have seen a surge of archaeological interest in understanding past intercultural contacts. The arrival of Phoenicians to southern Iberia in the mid 9th century BC and their interactions with local communities along Atlantic Iberia has been one of such topics, prompted by the large number of recent excavations, novel data and new radiocarbon dates. This thesis aims to review and gather the evidence for these contacts in a single study. Geographically, it focuses on Atlantic Iberia, encompassing modern Portugal and Galicia (northwest Spain), from the Guadiana River mouth to the Rías Baixas. Chronologically, it looks at the period between the 8th and 6th centuries BC, which corresponds to most of the area’s Early Iron Age. Its methodology is threefold. First, it develops a systematised dataset of Phoenician artefacts found across Atlantic Iberia for the time-period studied. This amounts to a total of ninety-two sites with Phoenician artefacts, organised in 50-year chronological ranges according to their material variables (construction, ceramic, iron, bronze, ivory, silver, gold and shell). Secondly, it subjects the data produced to a range of multi-scalar spatial and statistical analyses in order to understand territorial and social connectivity. Statistical analyses include diversity (Simpson) and similarity (Jaccard and Morista-Horn) indexes. Spatial analyses include catchment areas, visibility, natural routes and Least Cost Path networks. Finally, an integrative theoretical framework is developed called ‘Living Landscapes’. This framework combines ideas of circulation, active materiality and identity under an organic and metaphorical narrative that can represent change in a visual format (Rheio map). Regions are reviewed and analysed independently, grouped into five geographical areas, moving from south to north and from coast to interior. These are: the Algarve, the Sado valley, the Tagus valley, the Mondego valley and the Northwest, and the Guadiana valley. A final analysis brings all regions together, presenting a range of comparative chronological distribution heat maps and geographical pathways within the study of connectivity. Results indicate an evolution throughout time and show regional variability in the processes of cultural contact, with an organic and accelerated negotiation of identity taking place at the river valleys and estuaries, and a selective and gradual one in the interior regions. The thesis’ main contribution is twofold: on the one hand, a synthesis of Phoenician presence across Atlantic Iberia; on the other, an integrated research framework that combines structured data, GIS and statistical methods and innovative theory. Future directions include the development of an open-source databank, the use of circuit theory, predictive modelling and machine learning, and the use of storytelling as a research tool.

description: Pericles once affirmed “He who rules the seas rules the world”. This statement has been considered a reality in global governance. From the past until now, though it may seem less relevant, with the increased importance of space technology, the argument still holds. The seas still remain the fundamental venue for trade, economic growth, natural resources, wealth and military mobility. With power slowly shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, where most of the world’s population is concentrated, the need for revival of the Atlantic is essential for its continued relevance. The Atlantic Ocean, whose margins separated between 175 and 90 million years ago, is the youngest of the world oceans. Its margins are the cradle where most of international trade has taken place throughout modern history. Lately, it has also been the new frontier of developments in economic exploration of natural resources. Currently, the Atlantic is at a crossroads moment - There is a coastal State dependency on the ocean, since 90% of trade is conducted through sea routes. The maritimisation of the Wider Atlantic economies has gained strength, as coastlines have expanded their role in the production of national wealth, resulting from trade, hydrocarbon resources, fisheries, heavy industries and ever expanding coastal cities. Nevertheless, the increasing and spread of the negative impact of these activities on the Triangle Atlantic marine environment as well as on safety and security evokes policies to address such dependencies, revise national and international law on the issue and review the possible disputes and claims. This is particularly true in Africa, where there are growing disputes over maritime delimitation, which may lead to the escalation of maritime conflicts, despite UNCLOS regulations. Yet UNCLOS also faces some controversies regarding its interpretation and application. Challenges for the ocean: Trends Toward a New Environmental Era for the Oceans (The Project) acknowledge that Wider Atlantic nations have been taking ownership of the challenges with a steady effort to control its destiny, through resilience, cooperation and institutionalization. Accordingly, the Project presents tools to the countries to face the legal aspects of sustainable development and geopolitical challenges which can be developed accordingly the sponsor interest or adapt to the local priorities. Moreover, it is possible to sponsor and implement separately each topics of the Project.

description: Research data management (RDM) in academic scientific environments increasingly enters the focus as an important part of good scientific practice and as a topic with big potentials for saving time and money. Nevertheless, there is a shortage of appropriate tools, which fulfill the specific requirements in scientific research. We identified where the requirements in science deviate from other fields and proposed a list of requirements which RDM software should answer to become a viable option. We analyzed a number of currently available technologies and tool categories for matching these requirements and identified areas where no tools can satisfy researchers' needs. Finally we assessed the open-source RDMS (research data management system) LinkAhead for compatibility with the proposed features and found that it fulfills the requirements in the area of semantic, flexible data handling in which other tools show weaknesses.
Generational Differences Between Pakistani Migrant Women in Their Feelings of Belonging to Qatar: An Explorative Study

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This thesis explores migrant Pakistani women’s feelings of belonging to Qatar. Women and their migration experiences remain understudied despite the growing literature on migrants and migration in the Gulf. Pakistani migration to Qatar increased around the 1960s and 1970s when Qatar experienced an oil boom, and the state’s development plans for the country opened up new job vacancies. Many generations of Pakistani migrant families have been living in Qatar for decades. Data gathered from participant observation and ethnographic interviews conducted during fieldwork in Muaither, Ain Khaled, Al Waab and Al Matar Al Qadeem, areas that are inhabited by large groups of Pakistani migrant families, was used to address the core questions of this thesis: are there any generational differences between Pakistani mothers’ and Qatar-born and Qatar-raised daughters’ feelings of belonging to Qatar? If so, how do they experience belonging differently? I investigate this question by contextualizing Pakistani migrant women’s narratives of belonging in their migration experiences, Pakistani migration to Qatar and the kafala system that controls their presence in the country. In this thesis, I argue that Pakistani migrant mothers and Qatar-born and Qatar- raised daughters form different forms of multiple belongings to the same and different places simultaneously. Moreover, due to their temporary legal status, both the migrant mothers and daughters engage in transnationalism practices; however, the mothers do so actively by maintaining backup homes for their families in Pakistan, but the daughters do so passively by supporting their mother as they are more concerned with advancing their careers. When Pakistani migrant women narrate their feelings of belonging to Qatar, they are preoccupied with the welfare of their families. However, the migrant daughters think independently of any group, concerned more with personal welfare.

description: This study investigates the changes in scouring depth and location at the outlet of a culvert under various flow conditions, using numerical simulation to model flow and sediment interactions. Ansys Fluent was employed in this study to simulate various flow rates, inlet blockages (0% and 40%), and sediment sizes (0.85 mm and 2 mm). The numerical results were validated by comparing them with experimental data and numerical simulations from Flow-3D, utilizing two turbulence models, Renormalization Group (RNG) and k-ε. The findings indicate that the RNG model more closely matched observational data, particularly under the 40% blockage condition, while both models agreed well under the 0% blockage condition. Increased flow rates and higher inlet blockage led to greater scour depths. In the 40% blockage condition, the maximum scour depth in the RNG model was 200% and 150% greater than the Fluent model, respectively. Additionally, the study found a 30% increase in maximum scour depth when sediment particle size increased from 0.85 mm to 2 mm. This research highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate turbulence model for accurate scour predictions and offers valuable insights that can inform the design and maintenance of culverts and related infrastructure.

description: When research became truly digital, the career of the idea that science must share data also began. Truly digital means: at some point, machines were not merely used for calculations (aka computation), but rather most stages of the cycle of methodical production of scientific knowledge were routinely performed digitally. This means that the processes for, on the one hand, data collection, gathering, transfer, archiving and, on the other hand, all forms of presentation, such as visualization or making it readable, are digitized. Data is synonymous with automatically processed information, but also with the automated perception of the world (aka empiricism) and automated methods.

description: Selon Todorov, la doctrine humaniste rejoint avec Montaigne des développements inattendus: la  pluralité des hommes et la pluralité à l'intérieur de l'homme. Mais son interprétation se concentre sur l’idée qu'il existe une manière à la Montaigne d’être relativiste qui conduit le philosophe de Bordeaux à un “universalisme inconscient”. Quand il établit les ‘figures’de ce parcours, toutefois, l’anamorphose de Rousseau exercera son poids: elle émergera, non sans difficulté, dans desnœudsconceptuels précis. Des pages qui sont encore à interroger parce qu’elles ouvrent des scénarios problématiques, non seulement de nature herméneutique, mais philologique et critique.

description: Health has been claimed to play an important role in human sexual selection, especially in terms of mate choice. Our preferences for attractive individuals are said to represent evolved adaptations for finding high-quality, healthy mates. If this is true, then we expect health to predict mating success in humans. We tested this hypothesis using several important physiological indicators of health, including immune function, oxidative stress and semen quality, and self-reported measures of sexual behaviour that contribute to mating success. In contrast to our hypothesis, we did not find a relationship between the physiological measures of health and sexual behaviour. Our results provide little support for claims that health, at least the health measures we used, increases mating success in relatively healthy humans.

description: The confusion effect describes the phenomenon of decreasing predator attack success with increasing prey group size. However, there is a paucity of research into the influence of this effect in coherent groups, such as flocks of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris). Here, for the first time, we use a computer game style experiment to investigate the confusion effect in three dimensions. To date, computerized studies on the confusion effect have used two-dimensional simulations with simplistic prey movement and dynamics. Our experiment is the first investigation of the effects of flock size and density on the ability of a (human) predator to track and capture a target starling in a realistically simulated three-dimensional flock of starlings. In line with the predictions of the confusion effect, modelled starlings appear to be safer from predation in larger and denser flocks. This finding lends credence to previous suggestions that starling flocks have anti-predator benefits and, more generally, it suggests that active increases in density in animal groups in response to predation may increase the effectiveness of the confusion effect.

description: Trade in illicit tobacco – a term which includes trade in contraband, counterfeit and illicit whites (also referred to as ‘cheap whites’) – has become a serious problem across the global due to its scale and the hazards which such products may cause. Among the different forms of illicit tobacco trading and different types of legislation, this report concentrates on trade in counterfeit cigarettes and looks at the role that IPRs and their enforcement plays in controlling such trade in the EU. Stated differently, the report focuses on illicit tobacco trading in counterfeit cigarettes in EU and the role that IP laws and their enforcement could play in repressing such trade. More specifically, the report will: assess the proper role of IP law enforcement in fighting counterfeit cigarettes; analyse whether the EU or other anti-counterfeit legislation and specific border enforcement mechanisms provide an adequate regulatory response to be implemented in these countries; study other jurisdictions (most notably the US) to ascertain whether the EU could modify its approach and standards in order to more effectively combat counterfeit tobacco; and propose recommendations on effective modification and implementation of these standards into the national system. The report outlines the international framework, including the multilateral Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (‘TRIPS Agreement’) and the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), compares the approaches of the EU and US on the issue in bilateral and regional free trade agreements, reviews the relevant legislation and internal practice of the EU, with a focus on the United Kingdom, and provides an overview of the US domestic framework. The report concludes with recommendations for the EU to adopt certain measures to further strengthen its laws and regulations.

description: Political speech forms, establishes and defends the views, positions, & ideology of the represented parties. The leaders of political parties express political intent through public communication tailoring perception towards certain a state of affairs. Schaffner (1996) claims that the language of political leader directs and inspires political action. The current study utilizes qualitative thematic analysis method to investigate Benjamin Netanyahu’s narrative construction within eight themes usually present in conflict ridden areas to achieve and maintain the legitimacy of Israel within its own borders and internationally over different time periods. My research findings indicate that Benjamin Netanyahu does employ all eight themes exercising manipulative half-truths to portray Israel in a positive light and further creating a wedge with the ‘other’. Netanyahu’s speeches hinder any prospect of dialogue, and vilifies Palestinians. Moreover, through 1996 until recently Netanyahu’s rhetoric has become more aggressive, right-wing, and violent.

description: A new polar calamitic liquid crystal, methyl 4-(4ʹ-(4ʺ-(decyloxy)benzyloxy) benzylideneamino)benzoate (M3BA) containing ether and Schiff base groups as linker with terminal polar ester group, has been synthesised and mesomorphic properties are studied by differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy, density functional theory, temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction and temperature-dependent micro- Raman study. The smectic A (SmA) mesophase with focal conic texture has been observed with wide mesomorphic range. Layer thickness in SmA phase is greater than the optimised length of the molecule, indicating partially bilayer SmA phase. Analysis of Raman marker bands of C–H in-plane bending of phenyl rings, C=C stretching of rings, C=N stretching and C=O stretching shows structural changes at molecular level at Cr → SmA phase transition and provides proper intermolecular interactions responsible for dimeric unit in partially bilayer SmA phase.

description: Francis Farley was a British experimental physicist who worked for much of his career at CERN. He was a clever designer and builder of particle beams, and a team leader and player who inspired, advised, amused and regaled others. In the middle of his career he worked on the first four experiments to measure g − 2, one of the most important numbers in particle physics. Three of these were conducted while he was at CERN, and one at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. Later he studied the problem of extracting energy from water waves, attempting to build proof of concept models as well as to study the problems that might stand in the way of commercial application. Farley had the rare ability to synthesize both theoretical and experimental knowledge of a subject, to collaborate in solving problems and to pass on what he knew to others. He was also articulate about the wonder and awe that he found in science.

description: Reticulated platelets (RP) are immature platelets with heightened RNA content. An increased level of RP in the circulation is associated with various pathological conditions. In this study, we employed a novel flow cytometry approach for RP detection in mice, utilizing the nucleic acid dye SYTO 13 in conjunction with a platelet-specific marker (anti-mouse CD42b-DyLight 649). The efficacy of SYTO 13 for RP identification was confirmed by higher circulating RP levels in platelet-depleted mice during the recovery phase (35% ± 13%) compared to untreated mice (11% ± 1%, n = 9, p < .0001). We further characterized murine RP by exploring the surface expression of the platelet activation marker P-selectin. While there was no preactivation at baseline, stimulation with a thrombin receptor agonist (PAR-4) resulted in a higher increase in the percentage of P-selectin-positive platelets in RP (93% ± 6%) compared to non-RP (77% ± 14%, n = 6, p = .0065). In addition, RP exhibited higher geometric mean fluorescence intensity levels than non-RP (1874 ± 1278 versus 859 ± 549, n = 6, p = .02). Our proof-of-principle study demonstrates the efficacy of SYTO 13 in combination with platelet (activation) markers for identifying RP in both resting and activated states. This method holds promise for simultaneously monitoring RP levels and platelet activation in murine models of human disease.

description: Informal employment remains ubiquitous in developing-country labour markets. While informality has been associated with poor outcomes—such as low wages and precarious working conditions—it has been argued that some informal jobs could be beneficial for workers due to non-pecuniary characteristics—such as autonomy and flexibility. We revisit this long-running theoretical debate by analysing job satisfaction, a broad measure of worker welfare. Using two waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey, we estimate fixed effects regressions to show that informal workers are less likely to be satisfied with their jobs than formal workers. This finding is robust to different estimation strategies, including a matched sample of sector movers and stayers. However, the likelihood of job satisfaction varies considerably among informal workers, with informal self-employed workers being more likely to be satisfied with their jobs than informal salaried workers. Moreover, this satisfaction differential only applies to informal salaried workers in informal enterprises, suggesting a need to better understand the employment conditions facing this group of workers.

description: From 1735 to 1940, maize-based diets led to the death of hundreds of thousands of people from Pellagra, a complex disease caused by tryptophan and vitamin B3 deficiencies. The current cereal monoculture trend restricts farmland animals to similarly monotonous diets. However, few studies have distinguished the effects of crop nutritional properties on the reproduction of these species from those of other detrimental factors such as pesticide toxicity or agricultural ploughing. This study shows that maize-based diets cause high rates of maternal infanticides in the European hamster, a farmland species on the verge of extinction in Western Europe. Vitamin B3 supplementation is shown to effectively restore reproductive success in maize-fed females. This study pinpoints how nutritional deficiencies caused by maize monoculture could affect farmland animal reproduction and hence their fitness.

description: The research deals with additional fertilizing of leek cultivars Goliath and Tango with bacterial preparation Organic-balance and mineral fertilizer DripFert N20P20K20 + Ме in combination with adhesive agent of a natural origin Liposam. Field research was performed on the experimental plots of the Department of Vegetable Growing of Uman National University of Horticulture. The research focused on microbiological processes and formation of productivity in the leek crops depending on the combination of preparations. It has been established that the number of bacteria Azotobacter in the rhizosphere of leek increased 2.8 times after a four-time fertilizing with bacterial preparation Organic-balance and bioadhesive Liposam during vegetation. The maximum number of bacteria, including Azotobacter, in the rhizosphere of leek, was recorded after a four-time fertilization with DripFert N20P20K20 + Ме in combination with Organic-balance and Liposam. The share of influence of additional fertilization on the microbiota of the rhizosphere made up 77–97%. Leek cultivar Tango produced a larger assimilative leaf surface. Depending on the fertilizing the maximum leaf surface and photosynthetic potential of leek cultivars Tango and Goliath were recorded under combination of Organic-balance + DripFert N20P20K20 + Ме + Liposam. The yielding capacity of variety Goliath was better than that one of the variety Tango regardless of fertilizing. To make the growing technology of leek more environmental friendly it is advisable to introduce in the growing technology bacterial preparation Organic-balance together with Liposam. Utilization of these preparations improves crop yield, which makes up 0.6–0.7 t ha-1 for variety Goliath and 1.1–2.7 t ha-1 for variety Tango correspondingly. The investigated leek varieties had the maximum yields under combined application of Organic-balance + Liposam with fertilizer DripFert N20P20K20 + Ме, which is by 18–24% higher than provided by plants grown without fertilization.

description: The research studies the effect of information campaigns on migration on perceptions and intentions to migrate among high school students in Dakar, Senegal. First, I analyze the role of expectations, migration perceptions, and intention to migrate. Through a randomized experiment, I also assess which actors and types of information are most effective in shaping these intentions and perceptions. I find that students display a high level of distrust in domestic labor markets, and an information treatment with an external expert reduces the misperceptions of some measures of labor market statistics but has no effect on the perception of the risks of the irregular migration journey. In addition, narratives are more effective in reducing the willingness to migrate irregularly, but none of the treatments has an impact on the intention to migrate.
