Somali piracy, 2002 - 2011 : the convergence of routine activity theory and regulatory pluralism

description: Maritime piracy off the coast of Somalia was first recognised as a global concern in 2008 after the hijackings of World Food Programme vessels. It remains a serious impediment to international maritime trade and a significant risk to seafarers. This thesis analyses Somali piracy from the perspectives of Routine Activity Theory and regulatory pluralism. The supply of motivated offenders is all but guaranteed by a number of persistent factors. Somalia has suffered almost a quarter century of limited governance, weak rule of law, ongoing civil conflict, and a feeble economy with few opportunities for lawful employment. Vulnerable targets for piracy, not all of which are capable of self-protection, abound in the Gulf of Aden and off the Horn of Africa. Capable guardianship has also been lacking; there is no effective Somali state to safeguard shipping in the region, requiring the involvement of assistance from foreign naval forces. Based on data from a range of sources, including published documents and in-depth interviews with representatives of industry, government, and international organisations, the thesis concludes that no one institution or policy will suffice to control Somali piracy. Accordingly, a number of different actors and institutions have a role to play in reducing the supply of motivated offenders, the vulnerability of prospective victims, and in enhancing guardianship. The thesis envisages a pluralistic model for the ideal configuration of institutions to control Somali piracy in both the immediate future and the longer term.
title: Der "Community Reconciliation Process" in Timor-Leste
Creators: name: Sinzinger, Lena Sophie
Year: 2023

description: Nach 24 Jahren indonesischer Besatzung und Bürgerkrieg erlangte Timor-Leste 2002 die Un-abhängigkeit und wurde damit zum weltweit ersten neuen Staat im 21. Jahrhundert. Mit Un-terstützung der Vereinten Nationen wurde 2003 die Empfangs-, Wahrheits- und Versöh-nungskommission „Comissão de Acolhimento, Verdade e Reconciliação de Timor-Leste“ (CAVR) errichtet. Der durch die CAVR eingeleitete „Community Reconciliation Process“ (CRP) stellte aufgrund seiner speziellen täter*innenzentrierten Ausgestaltung eine bis dahin neue Form des Versöhnungsprozesses dar. Diese Untersuchung befasst sich mit den Zielset-zungen und Ergebnissen des CRP in Bezug auf den Resozialisierungsprozess der Täter*innen in die Gemeinschaft. Es zeigt sich, dass der restaurative Ansatz der CRP zwar positive Aus-wirkungen auf die Resozialisierung der teilgenommenen Täter*innen in ihre lokalen Gemein-schaften hatte. Die unzureichende juristische Verfolgung, insbesondere der nichtteilgenom-menen Täter*innen, hatte jedoch erheblichen Einfluss auf die gesamtgesellschaftliche Resozia-lisierung und den nachhaltigen Erfolg des CRP für den sozialen Frieden.
description: After 24 years of Indonesian occupation and civil war, Timor-Leste gained independence in 2002, becoming the first new state in the 21st century in the world. In 2003, the Reception, Truth and Reconciliation Commission "Comissão de Acolhimento, Verdade e Reconciliação de Timor-Leste" (CAVR) was established with support of the United Nations. The CAVR initiated the "Community Reconciliation Processes" (CRP) as a new approach for a perpetra-tor-centred reconciliation process until then. This study looks at the objectives and outcomes of CRP concerning the reintegration process of perpetrators into their communities. The results show that the CRP's restorative approach had a positive impact on the reintegration of partici-pating perpetrators into their local communities. However, the insufficient legal prosecution, especially of non-participating perpetrators, had a significant impact on the reintegration into the society as a whole and the lasting success of the CRP in terms of social peace.

description: The ground-state deformations of the Ge isotopes are investigated in the framework of Gogny-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and Skyrme Hartree-Fock plus pairing in the BCS approximation. Five different Skyrme parametrizations are used to explore the influence of different effective masses and spin-orbit models. There is generally good agreement for binding energies and deformations (total quadrupole moment, triaxiality) with experimental data where available (i.e., in the valley of stability). All calculations agree in predicting a strong tendency for triaxial shapes in the Ge isotopes with only a few exceptions due to neutron (sub-)shell closures. The frequent occurrence of energetically very close shape isomers indicates that the underlying deformation energy landscape is very soft. The general triaxial softness of the Ge isotopes is demonstrated in the fully triaxial potential energy surface. The differences between the forces play an increasing role with increasing neutron number. This concerns particularly the influence of the spin-orbit model, which has a visible effect on the trend of binding energies towards the drip line. Different effective mass plays an important role in predicting the quadrupole and triaxial deformations. The pairing strength only weakly affects binding energies and total quadrupole deformations, but considerably influences triaxiality.

description: Subdiffusion is a generic feature of chaotic many-body dynamics with multipole conservation laws and subsystem symmetries. We numerically study this subdiffusive dynamics, using quantum automaton random unitary circuits, in a broad range of models including one dimensional models with dipole and quadrupole conservation, two dimensional models with dipole conservation, and two dimensional models with subsystem symmetry on the triangular lattice. Our results are in complete agreement with recent hydrodynamic predictions for such theories.

Hold your friends close : counterradicalisation and political community in America and Britain

description: This thesis examines counterradicalisation policy and associated measures addressing the issue of 'citizen terrorists' in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. It asks: why has counterradicalisation emerged as a counterterrorism strategy in the US and the UK? The thesis argues that counterradicalisation policies have emerged in the US and the UK because they are a response to a type of terrorist threat perceived by those states as both new and as exhibiting certain distinctive features. This threat, Al-Qaeda inspired homegrown extremism, concerns acts of violence committed by citizens who reject the anchoring of political life in a secular institution such as the state. The ideas which drive these citizens are global, 'anti-systemic' and concerned with the nature of political community. The thesis argues that counterradicalisation has emerged in response to states' perceptions of the symbolic violence of this threat in the context of the nation-state and that as a result we should understand counterradicalisation in terms of ongoing negotiations about political community and citizenship. It shows that counterradicalisation policies in the US and the UK seek to manage a threat perceived as inherently ideational and driven by the ideas, beliefs and values of citizens. This invokes particular constraints and debates which inform and shape the policy. The thesis engages with several bodies of literature in making this argument. Most importantly, it engages with citizenship theory and uses concepts of citizenship and political community to structure its empirical analysis. In doing so, it contributes to debates in citizenship theory concerning the liberalisation and contraction of citizenship, finding that counterradicalisation in the US and the UK demonstrates a considerable narrowing of ideational and informal aspects of citizenship. It also engages with literature on transnationalism and with emerging research on counterterrorism policy. This thesis contributes to what to date has been an under-theorised field, namely the relevance of terrorism and counterterrorism to the broader theoretical concerns of International Relations. In particular it moves the analysis of counterradicalisation beyond the field of Critical Terrorism Studies that has to date dominated this topic. In doing so it establishes a framework for future research concerning interaction between post 9-11 counterterrorism, citizenship and political community in International Relations.

title: Die Hexe als Figur im Spielfilm
Creators: name: Dettinger, Isabel Johanna
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht die Figur der Hexe in aktuellen Spielfilmen aus einer gendertheoretischen Perspektive. Ausgehend von den Fragen, inwiefern der ursprünglich pejorativ verwendete Begriff Möglichkeiten der feministischen Aneignung bietet und wie durch die Wiederholung des Begriffes geschlechtsspezifische Stigmatisierung fortgeführt wird, werden konkrete Beispiele filmischer Hexen untersucht. Anhand der filmwissenschaftlichen Methode der Figurenanalyse soll die audiovisuelle Darstellung des Motivs in den Filmen The Love Witch (R.: Anna Biller, US 2016) und The Last Witch Hunter (R.: Breck Eisner, US/CN 2015) nachvollzogen werden. Die Untersuchungsparameter basieren dabei auf eine vorangestellte theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit der Figur der Hexe. Die aus dem diskursanalytischen Vorhaben resultierenden Untersuchungsergebnisse zeigen auf, dass für die Stigmatisierung durch stereotype Repräsentation insbesondere die Perspektive auf das Thema und das damit in Verbindung stehende Wertesystem ausschlaggebend ist.
description: This Master thesis explores the figure of the witch in recent feature films from a gender critical perspective. Based on the questions in what way the once pejoratively used term offers possibilities of a feminist appropriation and to what extend its narrative repetition contributes to a continuation of gendered stigmatization, specific examples of film witches are analyzed. Employing the film-scientific method of character analysis, the audiovisual representation of the theme in the films The Love Witch (directed by Anna Biller, US 2016) and The Last Witch Hunter (directed by Breck Eisner, US/CN 2015) is examined. The analytic parameters are based on a theoretical clarification of the term witch that takes part beforehand. The resulting conclusions of this discourse-analytical undertaking can show how the perspective on the topic and its system of values is especially crucial regarding the processes of stigmatization induced by stereotypical representation in media.

description: Future use of type Ia supernovae for cosmology aims not only to determine the equation of state of dark energy, but also to constrain possible variations in its value. To achieve this goal, supernovae need to become better calibrated standard candles - not only to improve the precision of the measurement, but more importantly to gain better control over systematic uncertainties in order to ensure the accuracy of the result. Here we report on a project to quantify the diversity in type Ia supernovae, and to look for trends and/or sub-types that can be used to improve their calibration as standard candles. We implement a version of principal component analysis on type Ia supernova spectra. Although the quantity of data is not sufficient to draw any firm conclusions we show that this method holds promise for, at the very least, effectively separating peculiar supernovae. Whether it can be further used to improve the calibration of normal type Ia's remains a project for future study.

Short-term reactions to the death of a spouse and/or close friend in later life
Creators: name: Lehman, Allen J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The death of a friend and the death of a spouse frequently accompany later life . The former has received scant empirical attention and the bereavement overload occasioned by the combination of these losses only has been addressed in the conceptual literature. This study used data from the Canadian national Survey on Ageing and Independence (1991), and examined the short-term reactions of women and men aged 65 and older to the death of a close friend, a spouse, or both, in comparison with a non-bereaved group. Drawing on Weiss' (1993) conceptual perspective on loss, bereaved individuals' "recovery" or adjustment to loss was assessed on multiple dimensions of effective personal and social functioning: perceived health, negative affect, positive affect, social involvement, emotional investment, family satisfaction, and friend satisfaction . Based on Weiss* (1993) model that maintains the loss of a relationship of attachment (i.e., spouse) evokes more intense bereavement reactions than the loss of a relationship of community (i.e., close friend), it was predicted that the negative effects of bereavement would be the greatest for the spouse bereaved, which would be significantly greater than the peer bereaved, which would be significantly greater than the non-bereaved. A further expectation was that reactions of the multiple bereaved individuals would be equal to or greater than the spouse bereaved. Several expected as well as unexpected findings were revealed. Four primary patterns of findings included: (a) only for the measure of negative affect were the bereavement status comparisons consistent with predictions; (b) spouse and multiple bereaved individuals' indicated comparable levels of functioning; (c) the peer bereaved unexpectedly reported greater effective personal and social functioning than the non-bereaved; and (d) gender influenced levels of functioning, with women tending to indicate better functioning than men. This study provides a greater understanding of older adults' reactions to the loss of close interpersonal relationships and sheds light on the nature and meaning of close interpersonalties in later life . Suggestions are offered for future research.

description: We predicted a stellar occultation of the bright star Gaia DR1 4332852996360346368 (UCAC4 385-75921) (m$_{\rm V}$= 14.0 mag) by the centaur 2002 GZ$_{32}$ for 2017 May 20$^{\rm th}$. Our latest shadow path prediction was favourable to a large region in Europe. Observations were arranged in a broad region inside the nominal shadow path. Series of images were obtained with 29 telescopes throughout Europe and from six of them (five in Spain and one in Greece) we detected the occultation. This is the fourth centaur, besides Chariklo, Chiron and Bienor, for which a multi-chord stellar occultation is reported. By means of an elliptical fit to the occultation chords we obtained the limb of 2002 GZ$_{32}$ during the occultation, resulting in an ellipse with axes of 305 $\pm$ 17 km $\times$ 146 $\pm$ 8 km. From this limb, thanks to a rotational light curve obtained shortly after the occultation, we derived the geometric albedo of 2002 GZ$_{32}$ ($p_{\rm V}$ = 0.043 $\pm$ 0.007) and a 3-D ellipsoidal shape with axes 366 km $\times$ 306 km $\times$ 120 km. This shape is not fully consistent with a homogeneous body in hydrostatic equilibrium for the known rotation period of 2002 GZ$_{32}$. The size (albedo) obtained from the occultation is respectively smaller (greater) than that derived from the radiometric technique but compatible within error bars. No rings or debris around 2002 GZ$_{32}$ were detected from the occultation, but narrow and thin rings cannot be discarded.

description: We have constructed several impedance-matched low-pass filters using a stripline geometry with a dissipative dielectric. The filters are compact, simple to construct, and operate in cryogenic environments. The dissipative dielectric consists of magnetically-loaded silicone or epoxy, which are commercially available under the trade name Eccosorb. For a stripline length of 32 mm, the filters have a passband that extends from dc to a 3 dB bandwidth between 0.3 and 0.8 GHz. The 3 dB bandwidth can be adjusted beyond this range by changing the filter length. An extremely broad stopband at higher frequencies, with attenuation exceeding 100 dB, is achieved along with a return loss greater than 10 dB measured up to 40 GHz. This combination of high attenuation and low reflected power across a broad stopband ensures that spurious or unwanted signals outside the passband do not reach or return to the device under test. This type of filter has applications in microwave frequency measurements of sensitive non-linear devices such as superconducting heterodyne mixers, quantum tunneling devices, and quantum computing elements.

description: We study the formation of vortices in a dilute Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a rotating anisotropic trap. We find that the number of vortices and angular momentum attained by the condensate depends upon the rotation history of the trap and on the number of vortices present in the condensate initially. A simplified model based on hydrodynamic equations is developed, and used to explain this effect in terms of a shift in the resonance frequency of the quadrupole mode of the condensate in the presence of a vortex lattice. Differences between the spin-up and spin-down response of the condensate are found, demonstrating hysteresis phenomena in this system.

description: The behavior of proteins near interfaces is relevant for biological and medical purposes. Previous results in bulk show that, when the protein concentration increases, the proteins unfold and, at higher concentrations, aggregate. Here, we study how the presence of a hydrophobic surface affects this course of events. To this goal, we use a coarse-grained model of proteins and study by simulations their folding and aggregation near an ideal hydrophobic surface in an aqueous environment by changing parameters such as temperature and hydrophobic strength, related, e.g., to ions concentration. We show that the hydrophobic surface, as well as the other parameters, affect both the protein unfolding and aggregation. We discuss the interpretation of these results and define future lines for further analysis, with their possible implications in neurodegenerative diseases.

description: Electroweak precision measurements can provide indirect information about the possible scale of supersymmetry already at the present level of accuracy. We review present day sensitivities of precision data in mSUGRA-type models with the gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The chi^2 fit is based on M_W, sin^2 theta_eff, (g-2)_mu, BR(b -> s gamma) and the lightest MSSM Higgs boson mass, M_h. We find indications for relatively light soft supersymmetry-breaking masses, offering good prospects for the LHC and the ILC, and in some cases also for the Tevatron.

description: The discovery of the TeV point source 2HWC J2006+341 was reported in the second HAWC gamma-ray catalog. We present a follow-up study of this source here. The TeV emission is best described by an extended source with a soft spectrum. At GeV energies, an extended source is significantly detected in Fermi-LAT data. The matching locations, sizes and spectra suggest that both gamma-ray detections correspond to the same source. Different scenarios for the origin of the emission are considered and we rule out an association to the pulsar PSR J2004+3429 due to extreme energetics required, if located at a distance of 10.8 kpc.

description: The viability of the lightest neutralino as a dark matter candidate in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is analysed. We carry out a thorough analysis of the parameter space, taking into account accelerator constraints as well as bounds on low-energy observables, such as the muon anomalous magnetic moment and rare $K$ and $B$ meson decays. The neutralino relic density is also evaluated and consistency with present bounds imposed. Finally, the neutralino direct detection cross section is calculated in the allowed regions of the parameter space and compared to the sensitivities of present and projected dark matter experiments. Regions of the parameter space are found where experimental constraints are fulfilled, the lightest neutralino has the correct relic abundance and its detection cross section is within the reach of dark matter detectors. This is possible in the presence of very light singlet-like Higgses and when the neutralino is either light enough so that some annihilation channels are kinematically forbidden, or has a large singlino component.

title: "Allegorischer Horror" und die Navigation von Trauma
Creators: name: Hareter, Linda Oralusi
Year: 2023

description: Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich unter dem Schirm des Titels „‚Allegorischer Horror‘ und die Navigation von Trauma: Zwischen den Zeilen von Jordan Peeles Film-Universum“, mit einer Annäherung an den Komplex der sich Auftut, wenn die narrative und ästhetische Transformation von rassistischem Trauma im Horrorfilm erforscht wird. Tragend sind für die Arbeit Grundstrukturen des Traumas aus einer traditionell psychoanalytischen Sicht auf der einen Seite, sowie kreativen Ansätzen der Behandlung von rassistischem Trauma, entsprechend einer postkolonialen Denkweise, auf der anderen. Um dies praktisch zu beobachten, dienen die Werke des Regisseurs Jordan Peele, Get Out (2016) und Us (2018), als leitende Beispiele. Diese werden unter Berücksichtigung der Konventionen im Horrorgenre, welche im Laufe der Arbeit auch an weiteren Filmbeispielen beobachtet werden, auf inhaltliche und ästhetische Entscheidungen analysiert. Die Intersektion Trauma und Kino ist relevant durch die potentielle Annäherung an rassistisches Trauma auf den Seiten der Zuseher*innen, oder wie durch Peele veranschaulicht werden kann, auf den Seiten der Filmschaffenden. Diese filmischen Annäherungen unterliegen nicht nur Strukturen persönlicher Erfahrungen, es lassen sich daraus auch allgemeine gesellschaftliche Haltungen herauslesen, Belastungen von generationsübergreifendem Trauma erkennen und Herangehensweisen an geschichtliche Aufarbeitung entwickeln. Eine ganzheitliche Behandlung dieses Themenkomplexes setzt sich aus gesellschaftlichen Spannungsfeldern zusammen, der Film ist eine Art wie diese produktiv in Verbindung gesetzt werden können. Die kreative Aufarbeitung dieser Überschneidungen und deren Analyse ist daher nicht nur eine Momentaufnahme, sondern umfasst anhand der Beobachtung verschiedener Beispiele immer auch einen weiter ausschweifenden Blick, welcher sich sowohl auf die Vergangenheit, sowie auch auf die Zukunft richtet.

description: We report on the gas-phase metallicity gradients of a sample of 264 star-forming galaxies at 0.6 < z < 2.6, measured through deep near-infrared Hubble Space Telescope slitless spectroscopy. The observations include 12-orbit depth Hubble/WFC3 G102 grism spectra taken as a part of the CANDELS Lya Emission at Reionization (CLEAR) survey, and archival WFC3 G102+G141 grism spectra overlapping the CLEAR footprint. The majority of galaxies (84%) in this sample are consistent with a zero or slightly positive metallicity gradient across the full mass range probed (8.5 < log M_*/M_sun < 10.5). We measure the intrinsic population scatter of the metallicity gradients, and show that it increases with decreasing stellar mass---consistent with previous reports in the literature, but confirmed here with a much larger sample. To understand the physical mechanisms governing this scatter, we search for correlations between the observed gradient and various stellar population properties at fixed mass. However, we find no evidence for a correlation with the galaxy properties we consider---including star-formation rates, sizes, star-formation rate surface densities, and star-formation rates per gravitational potential energy. We use the observed weakness of these correlations to provide material constraints for predicted intrinsic correlations from theoretical models.

description: Wearable biosensor technology enables real-time, convenient, and continuous monitoring of users behavioral signals. Such include signals relative to body motion, body temperature, biological or biochemical markers, and individual grip forces, which are studied in this paper. A four step pick and drop image guided and robot assisted precision task has been designed for exploiting a wearable wireless sensor glove system. Individual spatio temporal grip forces are analyzed on the basis of thousands of individual sensor data, collected from different locations on the dominant and non-dominant hands of each of three users in ten successive task sessions. Statistical comparisons reveal specific differences between grip force profiles of the individual users as a function of task skill level (expertise) and time.

description: We consider transport in the insulating regime of GaMnAs. We calculate the resistance, magnetoresitance and Hall effect, assuming that the Fermi energy is in the region of localized states above the valence band mobility edge. Both hopping and activated band transport contributions are included. The anomalous Hall current from band states is very different from the hopping Hall current and has extrinsic (skew) and intrinsic (Luttinger) contributions. Comparison with experiment allows us to assess the degree to which band and hopping contribution determine each of the three transport coefficients in a particular temperature range. There are strong indications that the insulating state transport in GaMnAs is controlled primarily by extended state, band edge, transport rather than by variable range hopping, as reported in the literature.

description: We use the fractional integrals in order to describe dynamical processes in the fractal media. We consider the "fractional" continuous medium model for the fractal media and derive the fractional generalization of the equations of balance of mass density, momentum density, and internal energy. The fractional generalization of Navier-Stokes and Euler equations are considered. We derive the equilibrium equation for fractal media. The sound waves in the continuous medium model for fractional media are considered.

description: Quantum heat cycles and quantum refrigerators are analyzed using various quantum systems as their working mediums. For example, to evaluate the efficiency and the work done of the Carnot cycle in the quantum regime, one can consider the harmonic oscillator as it's working medium. For all these well-defined working substances (which are analyzed in commutative space structure), the efficiency of the engine is not up to the mark of the Carnot efficiency. So, one inevitable question arise, can one observe a catalytic effect on the efficiency of the engines and refrigerators when the space structure is changed? In this paper, two different working substance in non-commutative spacetime with relativistic and generalized uncertainty principle corrections has been considered for the analysis of the efficiency of the heat engine cycles. The efficiency of the quantum heat engine gets a boost for higher values of the non-commutative parameter with a harmonic oscillator as the working substance. In the case of the second working medium (one-dimensional infinite potential well), the efficiency shows a constant result in the non-commutative space structure.
Reconstruction of Pairwise Interactions using Energy-Based Models

description: Pairwise models like the Ising model or the generalized Potts model have found many successful applications in fields like physics, biology, and economics. Closely connected is the problem of inverse statistical mechanics, where the goal is to infer the parameters of such models given observed data. An open problem in this field is the question of how to train these models in the case where the data contain additional higher-order interactions that are not present in the pairwise model. In this work, we propose an approach based on Energy-Based Models and pseudolikelihood maximization to address these complications: we show that hybrid models, which combine a pairwise model and a neural network, can lead to significant improvements in the reconstruction of pairwise interactions. We show these improvements to hold consistently when compared to a standard approach using only the pairwise model and to an approach using only a neural network. This is in line with the general idea that simple interpretable models and complex black-box models are not necessarily a dichotomy: interpolating these two classes of models can allow to keep some advantages of both.
