description: This study evaluated the effects of entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial intentions at the Tshwane University of Technology using the theory of planned behaviour. The study explored the influence of entrepreneurship education, perceived effects of entrepreneurship education, perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and attitude towards behaviour on entrepreneurial intentions. A total of 301 first, second and third-year entrepreneurship students completed the online survey questionnaire. The study's conceptual model was tested using partial least-squares structural equation modeling in RStudio. Microsoft Excel and IBM SPSS 26 were used for descriptive statistics. The findings generated from the PLS-SEM model showed that entrepreneurship education had a statistically significant influence on entrepreneurial intentions and perceived behavioural control. Moreover, the results further revealed that perceived behavioural control partially mediated the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education did not have a statistically significant relationship with subjective norms and attitude towards behaviour. Perceived effects of entrepreneurship education had a statistically significant effect on perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and attitude towards behaviour, and an insignificant direct effect on entrepreneurial intentions. The relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and perceived effects of entrepreneurship education was fully mediated by perceived behavioural control, subjective norms and attitude towards behaviour. The findings further revealed that perceived behavioural control, subjective norms, and attitude towards behaviour had a statistically significant influence on entrepreneurial intentions. This study's findings add to the theory of planned behaviour as well as the field of entrepreneurship education. Future research should consider combining the entrepreneurial event model with the theory of planned behaviour and evaluate the influence that entrepreneurship education has on the entrepreneurial intentions of students in South Africa.

description: This paper analyses the impact of rate capping policy on local council efficiency. It also examines a set of exogenous factors associated with local government efficiency. A semi-parametric framework based on data envelopment analysis is applied to construct an efficient frontier for Victorian local governments. Findings indicate that rate capping policy had no significant effect on the overall economic efficiency of Victorian local governments. Furthermore, the policy appears to have an adverse effect on the efficiency of metropolitan councils during the study period. The heterogeneity of local governments needs to be considered when setting rate caps.

description: It is usually believed that there are no perturbative anomalies in supersymmetric gauge theories beyond the well-known chiral anomaly. In this paper we revisit this issue, because previously given arguments are incomplete. Specifically, we rule out the existence of soft anomalies, i.e., quantum violations of supersymmetric Ward identities proportional to a mass parameter in a classically supersymmetric theory. We do this by combining a previously proven theorem on the absence of hard anomalies with a spurion analysis, using the methods of Algebraic Renormalization. We work in the on-shell component formalism throughout. In order to deal with the nonlinearity of on-shell supersymmetry transformations, we take the spurions to be dynamical, and show how they nevertheless can be decoupled.

description: Teaching foreign languages ââupon a computer technology has attracted both teachers and researchers for a long time. Not enough attention has been paid to the study of the nonverbal component of speech in this area. One of the reasons is due to a lack of pronunciation learning systems (CAPT). The paper considers the CAPT system, aimed at the study of intonation in the English language.
The task of the work is to design and create a library that is integrated into the CAPT system. For this, the concept of intonation, its physical representation has been studied; a pitch frequency signal processing path was created based on digital data processing algorithms; the algorithm for comparing time sequences for the introduction of the signal similarity metric required in CAPT system applications is considered.
Thought-activism and the poiesis of that which is not
Creators: name: Ahadi, Mohammad Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Written Component: Thought-Activism and the Poiesis of that Which Is Not. This dissertation devises two philosophical discourses: “Thought-Activism” and Visitor. Thought-activism will be posited as a strategic and an ontological approach to the categories of “language” and “seeing” concerning the formation of a mutually inclusive account for “action” and “thought”, i.e., acting contingent upon thought, and thinking if and only if acting. In short, thought-activism is to be thought of as where the question of “what is to be done?” is bound with that of “what is to be thought?” and vice versa. The subject-figure of the Visitor is a reconfiguration of the category of the art spectator and of the art audience into the encountering subject position of the art Visitor. The subject-figure of the Visitor is the praxis and tactical presentation of the strategy of thought-activism within the fields of art, politics, and critical thinking. The Visitor renders obsolete the characteristic triptych of art, that is artist-artwork-spectator, and subsequently replaces it with the progressive triptych of visitor-object-visitor, which rearticulates the relation that artistic practice occasions on the basis of “encountering.” The key companion thinkers in this exegesis are Alain Badiou and Martin Heidegger. The core question of this exegesis is the contradictory unity of theory and practice formulated under the aegis of the following equation: ‘theoretically-led practice’ equals ‘practically-influenced theory’. Creative Component: Goh Ballet Academy (Shit Yes Academy) Exhibition Goh Ballet Academy (Shit Yes Academy) was a solo exhibition and publication (itself considered as a part of the exhibition), held at the Ag Galerie of Tehran (Iran) in January of 2019. The exhibition was comprised of a series of photographic and text-based mixed-media objects, a series of sculptural installations, and light-box images, and a publication including essays by myself, Matt Browning, Gareth James and Mohammad Salemy. The publication is attached in the “appendices” section of this dissertation.

description: We define the partition and $n$-point correlation functions for a vertex operator superalgebra on a genus two Riemann surface formed by sewing two tori together. For the free fermion vertex operator superalgebra we obtain a closed formula for the genus two continuous orbifold partition function in terms of an infinite dimensional determinant with entries arising from torus Szegö kernels. We prove that the partition function is holomorphic in the sewing parameters on a given suitable domain and describe its modular properties. Using the bosonized formalism, a new genus two Jacobi product identity is described for the Riemann theta series. We compute and discuss the modular properties of the generating function for all $n$-point functions in terms of a genus two Szegö kernel determinant. We also show that the Virasoro vector one point function satisfies a genus two Ward identity.

description: The model of competition between densities of two different species, called predator and prey, is studied on a one dimensional periodic lattice, where each site can be in one of the four states say, empty, or occupied by a single predator, or occupied by a single prey, or by both. Along with the pairwise death of predators and growth of preys, we introduce an interaction where the predators can eat one of the neighboring prey and reproduce a new predator there instantly. The model shows a non-equilibrium phase transition into a unusual absorbing state where predators are absent and the lattice is fully occupied by preys. The critical exponents of the system are found to be different from that of the Directed Percolation universality class and they are robust against addition of explicit diffusion.

description: We formulate an improved time series analysis method for the analysis of photometry of active stars. This new Continuous Period Search (CPS) method is applied to 12 years of V band photometry of the young solar analogue HD 116956 (NQ UMa). The new method is developed from the previous Three Stage Period Analysis (TSPA) method. Our improvements are the use of a sliding window in choosing the modelled datasets, a criterion applied to select the best model for each dataset and the computation of the time scale of change of the light curve. We test the performance of CPS with simulated and real data. The CPS has a much improved time resolution which allows us to better investigate fast evolution of stellar light curves. We can also separate between the cases when the data is best described by periodic and aperiodic (e.g. constant brightness) models. We find, however, that the performance of the CPS has certain limitations. It does not determine the correct model complexity in all cases, especially when the underlying light curve is constant and the number of observations too small. Also the sensitivity in detecting two close light curve minima is limited and it has a certain amount of intrinsic instability in its period estimation. Using the CPS, we find persistent active longitudes in the star HD 116956 and a "flip-flop" event that occurred during the year 1999. Assuming that the surface differential rotation of the star causes observable period variations in the stellar light curve, we determine the differential rotation coefficient to be |k|>0.11. The mean timescale of change of the light curve during the whole 12 year observing period was T_C=44.1 d, which is of the same order as the predicted convective turnover time of the star. We also investigate the presence of activity cycles on the star, but do not find any conclusive evidence supporting them.

description: Eukerria saltensis (Beddard, 1895) Description: Length 35–63 mm. Colour variable: grey, sometimes with greenish tint. Setae lumbricine, paired. Prostomium epilobous. Spermathecal pores with tumescence at intersegmental furrows 7/8 and 8/9, median to line of c seta. Clitellum saddle-shaped, nearly annular on 13, 14–19, 20, separated ventrally by two longitudinal seminal grooves connecting the prostate pores of 17 and 19, and male pores in 18. Gizzard in 7. Calciferous glands, one pair in 9. Proandric. Nephridia avesiculate (in some segments absent or rudimentary). Spermathecae paired in 8 and 9. Tubular prostates thin, may extend into 3–7 segments. Notes: The species may be aquatic or littoral, although it has also been noted in terrestrial biotopes. The number of new occurrences noted recently worldwide may be connected with increased exotic gardening, freshwater angling, intense port activities, and probably also with climate change, which is affecting aquatic systems by raising water temperatures, and increasing environmental changes (Rota 2013). In RSA the species has been recorded in a number of littoral biotopes by Jamieson (1967), Ljungström (1972), and Viser and Reinecke (1977). In NMSAD more than twenty records are noted (Plisko 2010). It should be noted that the clitellum is nearly ‘annular’ although it does not cover the ventral part of the body and it is separated by longitudinal seminal grooves, as noted by Rota (2013). In this paper it is described as ‘saddle-shaped’, following the descriptions of the clitellum included in the Glossary.

description: We present the Spitzer Atlas of Stellar Spectra (SASS), which includes 159 stellar spectra (5 to 32 mic; R~100) taken with the Infrared Spectrograph on the Spitzer Space Telescope. This Atlas gathers representative spectra of a broad section of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, intended to serve as a general stellar spectral reference in the mid-infrared. It includes stars from all luminosity classes, as well as Wolf-Rayet (WR) objects. Furthermore, it includes some objects of intrinsic interest, like blue stragglers and certain pulsating variables. All the spectra have been uniformly reduced, and all are available online. For dwarfs and giants, the spectra of early-type objects are relatively featureless, dominated by Hydrogen lines around A spectral types. Besides these, the most noticeable photospheric features correspond to water vapor and silicon monoxide in late-type objects and methane and ammonia features at the latest spectral types. Most supergiant spectra in the Atlas present evidence of circumstellar gas. The sample includes five M supergiant spectra, which show strong dust excesses and in some cases PAH features. Sequences of WR stars present the well-known pattern of lines of HeI and HeII, as well as forbidden lines of ionized metals. The characteristic flat-top shape of the [Ne III] line is evident even at these low spectral resolutions. Several Luminous Blue Variables and other transition stars are present in the Atlas and show very diverse spectra, dominated by circumstellar gas and dust features. We show that the [8]-[24] Spitzer colors (IRAC and MIPS) are poor predictors of spectral type for most luminosity classes.

title: Information-Theoretically Secure Data Origin Authentication with Quantum and Classical Resources

description: In conventional cryptography, information-theoretically secure message authentication can be achieved by means of universal hash functions, and requires that the two legitimate users share a random secret key, which is at least twice as long as the tag. We address the question of whether quantum resources can offer any advantage over classical unconditionally secure message authentication codes. It is shown that a broad class of symmetric prepare-and-measure quantum message-authentication schemes cannot do better than their classical counterparts.

description: Transition states or quantum states of zero energy appear at the boundary between the discrete part of the spectrum of negative energies and the continuum part of positive energy states. As such, transition states can be regarded as a limiting case of a bound state with vanishing binding energy, emerging for a particular set of critical potential parameters. In this work we study the properties of these critical parameters for short range central potentials. To this end we develop two exact methods and also utilize the first and second order WKB approximations. Using these methods we have calculated the critical parameters for several widely used central potentials. The general analytic expressions for the asymptotic representations of the critical parameters were derived for cases where either the orbital quantum number $l$ or the number $n$ of bound states approaches infinity. The above mathematical models enable us to answer the following physical (quantum mechanical) questions: i) what is the number of bound states for a given central potential and given orbital quantum number $l$; ii) what is the maximum value of $l$ which can provide a bound state for the given central potential; iii) what is the order of energy levels for the given form of the central potential. It is revealed that the ordering of energy levels depends on the potential singularity at the origin.

Development of a disturbance observer for wind estimation by multirotor drone using machine learning
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Steven
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Multirotor drones are an ideal platform for a range of environmental studies, but wind measurement by anemometer payload suffers from the downwash of the propellers. This work presents a machine learning (ML) based disturbance observer, which implicitly estimates the wind based on the drone state without requiring a dedicated anemometer. Experimental data is collected by flying an instrumented quadrotor in proximity to two reference anemometers. Four ML models are developed: a long-short-term-memory (LSTM) neural network, an artificial-neural-network, a gated-recurrent-unit (GRU) neural network, and a Gaussian-process-regression. These models are trained with variations in their inputs, considering the addition of drag estimations by rigid-body equations of motion and control inputs, both of which improve performance. Two key processing methods are developed: Data augmentation by global coordinate frame rotation enforces rotational invariance and grid-based data reduction removes data imbalance. The best performing GRU achieves 0.48 m/s root-mean-square-error on unseen complete flight data, although the LSTM performs similarly. This approaches the experimental limits of performance, as reference anemometers cannot be exactly co-located with multirotors in flight. The difference between both spatially offset anemometers accounts for 73% of the GRU estimation error. These results are useful for emissions measurement, gas source localization and other applications.

description: We introduce a method to analyze the effect of hybridization by shifting corresponding atomic levels using external potentials. Based on this approach, we study perovskite ruthenates,\ and unambiguously identify that the covalency between the \textit{A}-site cation and O ion will modify the Ru-O hybridization and change the density of state at Fermi level, consequently affect the magnetic properties significantly. We also study the effect of pressure and reveal that hydrostatic pressure has a small effect on the Ru-O-Ru bond angle of SrRuO$_{3}$, while it will decrease the Ru-O length and increase the band width significantly. Therefore, the magnetic ordering temperature will decrease monotonically with pressure.

description: Magnetic fields appear everywhere in the universe. From stars and galaxies, all the way to galaxy clusters and remote protogalactic clouds magnetic fields of considerable strength and size have been repeatedly observed. Despite their widespread presence, however, the origin of cosmic magnetic fields is still a mystery. The galactic dynamo is believed capable of amplifying weak magnetic seeds to strengths like those measured in ours and other galaxies, but the question is where do these seed fields come from? Are they a product of late, post-recombination, physics or are they truly cosmological in origin? The idea of primordial magnetism is attractive because it makes the large-scale magnetic fields, especially those found in early protogalactic systems, easier to explain. As a result, a host of different scenarios have appeared in the literature. Nevertheless, early magnetogenesis is not problem free, with a number of issues remaining open and a matter of debate. We review the question of primordial magnetic fields and consider the limits set on their strength by the current observational data. The various mechanisms of pre-recombination magnetogenesis are presented and their advantages and shortcomings are debated. We consider both classical and quantum scenarios, that operate within as well as outside the standard model, and also discuss how future observations could be used to decide whether the large-scale magnetic fields we see in the universe today are truly primordial or not.

On feeling the dance : motor response and its place in dance appreciation
Creators: name: Heckman, Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: When we watch others dance, it has been claimed that we do not just use vision and hearing to appreciate dance, but that we also use motor responses. This has been a staple of thinking about dance and its appreciation since the early 20th century, but it has not drawn much attention in philosophy until recently. Recent advances in the sciences of the mind point to the existence of mirror system in the human brain, such that it seems when we watch movement, we are mirroring performing that movement in our brains. Barbara Montero proposed that this mirroring system could underlie motor response and allow us to appreciate dance. A resulting debate occurred between those skeptical of motor response in dance appreciation and those who were optimistic. I argue for a somewhat extreme version of optimism: that motor response is necessary for a full appreciation of most dances. I begin by examining and arguing against skeptical challenges to the place of motor response in dance appreciation. I then turn to the dance studies literature as my guide for how to go about understanding dance and motor response more fully. What is needed, I ask, for an account of motor response that does justice to the ways in which the danceworld understands it? Using insights gained from this delve into dance studies, I then turn to the existing accounts of motor response and find them wanting. I propose that existing automatic accounts of motor response need to be supplemented with an understanding of motor response as an activity. After defeating motor response skepticism and amending existing accounts of motor response, I set my eyes on answering how motor response is involved in dance appreciation. I argue that it is necessary for the appreciation of gracefulness, an aesthetic property that has been strongly associated with dance for most of its history. I further go on to argue that motor response could also be used to explain how dance can express emotion.

description: We present an optical and X-ray study of four Be/X-ray binaries located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). OGLE I-band data of up to 11 years of semi-continuous monitoring has been analysed for SMC X-2, SXP172 and SXP202B, providing both a measurement of the orbital period (Porb = 18.62, 68.90, and 229.9 days for the pulsars respectively) and a detailed optical orbital profile for each pulsar. For SXP172 this has allowed a direct comparison of the optical and X-ray emission seen through regular RXTE monitoring, revealing that the X-ray outbursts precede the optical by around 7 days. Recent X-ray studies by XMM-Newton have identified a new source in the vicinity of SXP15.3 raising doubt on the identification of the optical counterpart to this X-ray pulsar. Here we present a discussion of the observations that led to the proposal of the original counterpart and a detailed optical analysis of the counterpart to the new X-ray source, identifying a 21.7 d periodicity in the OGLE I-band data. The optical characteristics of this star are consistent with that of a SMC Be/X-ray binary. However, this star was rejected as the counterpart to SXP15.3 in previous studies due to the lack of Hα emission.
