Tres escrituras del yo : aproximaciones a las narrativas de Margarita García Robayo, PowerPaola y Andrés Felipe Solano
Creators: name: Castillo Rojas, Camilo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This study establishes how three Colombian writers, Margarita García Robayo (1980), PowerPaola (1977), and Andrés Felipe Solano (1977), express their personal and literary experience through life writing. The autofiction Lo que no aprendí (2014), the autobiographical graphic narration Virus Tropical (2011), and the literary diary Corea: apuntes desde la cuerda floja (2016), are different types of life-writing which fill the mobile stage created by the “biographical space” (Leonor Arfuch). Even tough it is possible to see these life-writing texts like primary or simple discursive genres (Mijail Bajtin), from the perspective of this study these works by García Robayo, Solano and PowerPaola are read as secondary (complex, as Bajtin mentioned) texts. This research points out how these works occur in a more elaborated condition of communication, rework diverse primary discourses and transform themselves into secondary texts. These writings, therefore, pass from simple situations of everyday life to become artistic events. The first-person narrator, character who is witness and participant of every single experience, weaves the life writings analyzed here. Nevertheless, this singular perspective does not mean that these writings have a solipsistic intention. This study reflects how these works are linked to the Colombian context and culture, indicates the way that the authors critique and think over Colombian society and their vision about what to expect in the future for the South American country facing the twenty-first century. Finally, these life-writings develop not only the identity of the subject, but also weave the “author’s fiction” (Julio Premat) inside their narratives. This investigation determines how Margarita García Robayo, PowerPaola, and Andrés Felipe Solano create their own image as authors inside their works. The purpose is to identify why these Colombian writers build their image in a particular way and determine tools for researchers in the creative writing process.

description: We study the environments of 6 radio galaxies at 2.2 < z < 2.6 using wide-field near-infrared images. We use colour cuts to identify galaxies in this redshift range, and find that three of the radio galaxies are surrounded by significant surface overdensities of such galaxies. The excess galaxies that comprise these overdensities are strongly clustered, suggesting they are physically associated. The colour distribution of the galaxies responsible for the overdensity are consistent with those of galaxies that lie within a narrow redshift range at z ~ 2.4. Thus the excess galaxies are consistent with being companions of the radio galaxies. The overdensities have estimated masses in excess of 10^14 solar masses, and are dense enough to collapse into virizalised structures by the present day: these structures may evolve into groups or clusters of galaxies. A flux-limited sample of protocluster galaxies with K < 20.6 mag is derived by statistically subtracting the fore- and background galaxies. The colour distribution of the protocluster galaxies is bimodal, consisting of a dominant blue sequence, comprising 77 +/- 10% of the galaxies, and a poorly populated red sequence. The blue protocluster galaxies have similar colours to local star-forming irregular galaxies (U -V ~ 0.6), suggesting most protocluster galaxies are still forming stars at the observed epoch. The blue colours and lack of a dominant protocluster red sequence implies that these cluster galaxies form the bulk of their stars at z < 3.

description: We investigate the spin-period evolutions of recycled pulsars in binary accreting systems. Taking both the accretion induced field decay and spin-up into consideration, we calculate their spin-period evolutions influenced by the initial magnetic-field strengths, initial spin-periods and accretion rates, respectively. The results indicate that the minimum spin-period (or maximum spin frequency) of millisecond pulsar (MSP) is independent of the initial conditions and accretion rate when the neutron star (NS) accretes $\sim> 0.2\ms$. The accretion torque with the fastness parameter and gravitational wave (GW) radiation torque may be responsible for the formation of the minimum spin-period (maximum spin frequency). The fastest spin frequency (716 Hz) of MSP can be inferred to associate with a critical fastness parameter about $ω_{c}=0.55$. Furthermore, the comparisons with the observational data are presented in the field-period ($B-P$) diagram.

description: We present a pulsing protocol that significantly increases the endurance of a titanium-manganite interface used as a binary memory cell. The core of this protocol is an algorithm that searches for the proper values for the set and reset pulses, canceling the drift in the resistance values. A set of experiments show the drift-free operation for more than $10^{5}$ switching cycles, as well as the detrimental effect by changing the amplitude of pulses indicated by the protocol. We reproduced the results with a numerical model, which provides information on the dynamics of the oxygen vacancies during the switching cycles.

description: The use of standard rulers, such as the scale of the Baryonic Acoustic oscillations (BAO), has become one of the more powerful techniques employed in cosmology to probe the entity driving the accelerating expansion of the Universe. In this paper, the topology of large scale structure (LSS) is used as one such standard ruler to study this mysterious `dark energy'. By following the redshift evolution of the clustering of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) as measured by their 3D topology (counting structures in the cosmic web), we can chart the expansion rate and extract information about the equation of state of dark energy. Using the technique first introduced in (Park & Kim, 2009), we evaluate the constraints that can be achieved using 3D topology measurements from next-generation LSS surveys such as the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). In conjunction with the information that will be available from the Planck satellite, we find a single topology measurement on 3 different scales is capable of constraining a single dark energy parameter to within 5% and 10% when dynamics are permitted. This offers an alternative use of the data available from redshift surveys and serves as a cross-check for BAO studies.

LOCAL CONCEPTION OF CORRUPTION IN EKEH’S TWO PUBLICS AND ACHEBE’S MAN OF THE PEOPLE IN THE CONTEXT OF PLEA BARGAIN STRATEGY IN NIGERIA

description: Studies on corruption tend to view the phenomenon through a univocal lens. The problem that emerges is that the disparity that exists between official conceptions of corruption as codified in legal instruments and public policies and local conceptions of corruption often grounded in primordial ties and kinship networks are often eluded. More problems emerge as plea bargains permit public officials found guilty of corruption to only refund part of the monies entrusted in his/her cares. This situation cannot but raise serious challenges where people in a socio-cultural domain view public resources as good to be utilized to strengthen primordial expectations. This paper interfaces Ekeh’s article on ‘The Two Publics’ in Africa and Achebe’s tact portrayal of corruption in his novel ‘A Man of the People’ on Igbo society in the Plea Bargain as an anti-corruption policy in Nigeria. This paper, therefore, interrogates the efficacy of the plea bargain that negates the long historical analysis that shows a heroic celebration of corrupt officials at the primordial realm as a form of attack against the public realm perceived as a migrated social structure to be plundered. A community-centered paradigm is advocated as against institu�tional mechanisms for containing corruption in Nigeria.

A Theory of Mulicolor Black Body Emission from Relativistically Expanding Plasmas
Creators: name: Pe'er, Asaf
name: Ryde, Felix
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the emission of photons from the inner parts of a relativistically expanding plasma outflow, characterized by a constant Lorentz factor, Gamma. Photons that are injected in regions of high optical depth are advected with the flow until they escape at the photosphere. Due to multiple scattering below the photosphere, the locally emerging comoving photon distribution is thermal. However, as an observer sees simultaneously photons emitted from different angles, hence with different Doppler boosting, the observed spectrum is a multi-color black-body. We calculate here the properties of the observed spectrum at different observed times. Due to the strong dependence of the photospheric radius on the angle to the line of sight, for parameters characterizing gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) thermal photons are seen up to tens of seconds following the termination of the inner engine. At late times, following the inner engine termination, both the number flux and energy flux of the thermal spectrum decay as F ~ t^{-2}. At these times, the multicolor black body emission results in a power law at low energies (below the thermal peak), with power law index F_ν~ ν^{0}. This result is remarkably similar to the average value of the low energy spectral slope index (``α'') seen in fitting the spectra of large GRB sample.

The dependence of the Lande' g tensor on electric fields should permit high-frequency g tensor modulation resonance, as well as direct, nonresonant electric-field control of the hole spin. Subharmonic resonances have also been found in g tensor modulation resonance of the holes, due to the strong quadratic dependence of components of the hole g tensor on the electric field.

Formation of Giant Planets by Disk Instability on Wide Orbits Around Protostars with Varied Masses
Creators: name: Boss, Alan P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Doppler surveys have shown that more massive stars have significantly higher frequencies of giant planets inside $\sim$ 3 AU than lower mass stars, consistent with giant planet formation by core accretion. Direct imaging searches have begun to discover significant numbers of giant planet candidates around stars with masses of $\sim$ 1 $M_\odot$ to $\sim$ 2 $M_\odot$ at orbital distances of $\sim$ 20 AU to $\sim$ 120 AU. Given the inability of core accretion to form giant planets at such large distances, gravitational instabilities of the gas disk leading to clump formation have been suggested as the more likely formation mechanism. Here we present five new models of the evolution of disks with inner radii of 20 AU and outer radii of 60 AU, for central protostars with masses of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 $M_\odot$, in order to assess the likelihood of planet formation on wide orbits around stars with varied masses. The disk masses range from 0.028 $M_\odot$ to 0.21 $M_\odot$, with initial Toomre $Q$ stability values ranging from 1.1 in the inner disks to $\sim 1.6$ in the outer disks. These five models show that disk instability is capable of forming clumps on time scales of $\sim 10^3$ yr that, if they survive for longer times, could form giant planets initially on orbits with semimajor axes of $\sim$ 30 AU to $\sim$ 70 AU and eccenticities of $\sim$ 0 to $\sim$ 0.35, with initial masses of $\sim 1 M_{Jup}$ to $\sim 5 M_{Jup}$, around solar-type stars, with more protoplanets forming as the mass of the protostar (and protoplanetary disk) are increased. In particular, disk instability appears to be a likely formation mechanism for the HR 8799 gas giant planetary system.

description: Problems related to the existence of integral and rational points on cubic curves date back at least to Diophantus. A significant step in the modern theory of these equations was made by Siegel, who proved that a non-singular plane cubic equation has only finitely many integral solutions. Examples show that simple equations can have inordinately large integral solutions in comparison to the size of their coefficients. A conjecture of Hall attempts to ameliorate this by bounding the size of integral solutions simply in terms of the coefficients of the defining equation. It turns out that a similar phenomenon seems, conjecturally, to be at work for solutions which are close to being integral in another sense. We describe these conjectures as an illustration of an underlying motif - repulsion - in the theory of Diophantine equations.

description: It is demonstrated that the the statistics for a joint measurement of two conjugate variables in Quantum Mechanics are expressed through an equation identical to the classical one, provided that joint classical probabilities are substituted by Wigner functions and that the interaction between system and detectors is accounted for. This constitutes an extension of Ehrenfest correspondence principle, and it is thereby dubbed strong correspondence principle. Furthermore, it is proved that the detectors provide an additive term to all the cumulants, and that if they are prepared in a Gaussian state they only contribute to the first and second cumulant.

description: Pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) is a category of lethal brain cancers, many of which are inoperable and have no specific approved treatments. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), the putative cell of origin for these tumors, undergo a mitogenic response to active neurons. Previous work has identified that neuronal activity increases pHGG proliferation and growth in vivo through the activity-dependent release of soluble neuroligin-3 (sNLGN3).  Furthermore, previous unbiased proximity labeling and mass spectrometry has identified the proteoglycan and OPC marker chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) as a candidate binding partner. Here, CSPG4 as the receptor for NLGN3 on glioma cells is validated and a role for this signaling axis in healthy OPC physiology and differentiation is established. Membrane pulldown assays combined with mass spectrometry further establish CSPG4 as the NLGN3 binding partner. An in vitro protein shedding assay shows that NLGN3 interacts with CSPG4 and the complex undergoes two rounds of cleavage by the proteases ADAM10 and gamma secretase through a mechanism known as regulated intramembrane proteolysis. The resulting intracellular cascade is responsible for the mitogenic effects of NLGN3. Additionally, NLGN3 maintains OPC stemness when growth factors are withdrawn, and suppressing the NLGN3-CSPG4 axis with gamma secretase inhibition results in increased differentiation. These results identify new druggable targets in a pathway important to pHGG growth and shed light on the understudied mechanism of glial differentiation.

description: Astronomers are discovering more and more super-Earths, planets around other stars whose sizes and masses lie somewhere between those of Earth and Neptune. We would like constraints on their composition to investigate whether they are more similar to rocky Earth or gaseous Neptune. To do this we need numerical models of their interiors. Such models often exclude any thermal effects, a choice justified by noting that a heated rocky planet expands by only a small amount. But this is not necessarily true for planets with thick oceans or watery atmospheres. Water has a rich and interesting thermal behaviour: at high pressure and temperature it can be in any of several exotic plasma and ice phases. Planets with thick water layers, known as waterworlds, cannot therefore be accurately represented by models that treat them as cold spheres. But understanding how waterworlds vary in size and structure is important as we seek to interpret new observations of super-Earths. I developed temperature-dependent structure models of waterworlds, treating both the interior structure and the atmosphere and including both internal and external heating. In doing so, I synthesized an improved equation of state for water to better capture how it behaves when heated or pressurised. Using these models, I show the following: heat can significantly affect a watery planet’s size and structure; these planets can have large and diffuse yet opaque atmospheres; and a planet can have a hot extended steam atmosphere even if only moderately heated from the inside. My models are simpler than those based on energy transfer codes, yet are fast to evaluate and still capture thermal behaviour trends appropriately. I therefore suggest that they would be ideally suited to use in statistical models of planetary systems. I also explore how a planet might change size if it migrates or exists in an elliptical orbit, consider the astrobiological implications of heating a watery planet, and present the results of applying these models to a recently discovered potential waterworld.

Prediction of Percentage Discharge Distribution in Non Prismatic Compound Channels with Skewed Floodplains

description: In rivers with non-prismatic compound cross-sections, due to the change in cross-section along the channel, the exchange discharge and mass transfer take place between the main channel and floodplains. Therefore, discharge distribution in non-prismatic compound channels is an important issue for river and hydraulic engineers. In this paper, some results of experiments performed in non-prismatic compound channels with skewed and inclined floodplains have been explained. Two skew angles of 3.81 and 11.31 and three discharges were investigated. The effect of relative depth and relative distance on percentage discharge distribution in each subsection of the skewed compound channel are presented. The experimental results show that the percentage discharge in each sub-section relies upon the parameters like relative depth, relative distance, skew angle, and floodplain side slope. By using the experimental results, regression models have been developed to estimate the percentage discharge in the main channel and on the floodplains. Investigations show that the regression models presented in this research, in the validation range, can predict the percentage discharge in each sub-section of a skewed compound channel fairy well.
Geographic variation in song and genetics in the Townsend's Warbler (Setophaga townsendi)
Creators: name: Ore, Madelyn Joy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Bird song is shaped by both genetic and cultural processes, presenting a particularly tractable system for understanding the connection between communication and reproductive barriers that drive diversification. Song dialects—or differences in song structure across geographic space—can act as signposts of cultural differences between populations, which may also indicate genetic differences in the population. The Townsend’s Warbler (Setophaga townsendi) is a species with geographic variation in mitochondrial genetic signatures. I investigate if concurrent variation occurs in song and nuclear genetic signatures, by describing the geographic variation of song and nuclear DNA across Townsend’s Warbler range. I quantify distinct song types and patterns across Townsend’s Warbler populations, along with patterns of genetic variation across their range using genotype-by-sequencing data. If genetic and cultural processes are tightly linked, I expect song to vary between regions of genomic differentiation. I demonstrate that individuals have a repertoire of at least two distinct song types—consistent with the two-song-type pattern common in Parulid warblers—but find this pattern is less evident in a range-wide comparison. There is extensive variability in Type I song, whereas Type II song is more stereotyped across the range. There is little distinct grouping that coincides between song and the isolation-by-distance pattern in the nuclear DNA. A mismatch between song and genetic patterns suggests that song divergence is not predicted solely by genotype. By characterizing the within-species variation in song and genetic structure, we can expand our understanding of the dynamic interplay between cultural traits and population structuring.
Exploring the role(s) of cognitive rumination in understanding the relationship between socioeconomic conditions and mental health
Creators: name: Panagaki, Aikaterini
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: In the western world, it is well known that the unequal distribution of power and resources unjustly impacts on peoples’ opportunity to lead their best lives, and on their health and recovery. Health inequalities can be observed across the border and they have a significant role to play for the 1billion people currently suffering with mental health difficulties and suicidality. Despite wide acknowledgement of the relationship between socioeconomic determinants and mental health ranging from research to politics, current efforts have not been able to put a halt to these issues that are steadily increasing to affect larger percentage of the world population. Partly this could be attributed to a lack of understanding and knowledge about the mechanism underlying the relationship between the socioeconomic environment and mental health. The present thesis is framed within a critical realist research paradigm and consists of four studies (a systematic review, a secondary public health data analysis, and two cross-sectional analyses of primary data). It aims to explore the potential role of cognitive ruminative thinking as a mediator in the relationship between individual socioeconomic indicators (both absolute and relative) and a range of mental health outcomes (depressive, (hypo-)manic mood, hallucinations, suicidality). It examines this for different subtypes of rumination (negative, positive, transdiagnostic), which allows for a more comprehensive understanding. The systematic review finds mixed evidence about the relationship of positive rumination and mood, but in doing so indicates the need to include positive rumination in the mediational model built. The public health secondary data offer the opportunity to test the mediational in a large general population sample. The findings are supportive of the hypothesized mediational role and thus the next two studies use data from a built-for-purpose survey that leads to the examination of a series of iterations of the mediational models for the different predictors, mediators, and outcomes included. In short, the present thesis tests previously developed theoretical models of the potentially underlying mechanisms of effect and expands these. Despite the explorative nature of the studies, the findings uncover an underlying mechanism of effect through cognitive rumination that can improve theoretical insight and thus practice and policy by identifying specific pathways of effect.

description: We show that the two-dimensional, nonlinear Schrödinger lattice with a saturable nonlinearity admits periodic and pulse-like exact solutions. We establish the general formalism for the stability considerations of these solutions and give examples of stability diagrams. Finally, we show that the effective Peierls-Nabarro barrier for the pulse-like soliton solution is zero.

description: All-carbon field-effect transistors, which combine carbon nanotubes and graphene hold great promise for many applications such as digital logic devices and single-photon emitters. However, the understanding of the physical properties of carbon nanotube (CNT)/graphene hybrid systems in such devices remained limited. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, we use a quantum transport model for field-effect transistors based on graphene electrodes and CNT channels to explain the experimentally observed low on currents. We find that large graphene/CNT spacing and short contact lengths limit the device performance. We have also elucidated in this work the experimentally observed ambipolar transport behavior caused by the flat conduction- and valence-bands and describe non-ideal gate-control of the contacts and channel region by the quantum capacitance of graphene and the carbon nanotube. We hope that our insights will accelerate the design of efficient all-carbon field-effect transistors.

description: Antimicrobial activity of water and alcohol extracts from leaves and fruits of Symphoricarpos albus (white snowberry) with some representatives of gram-positive and gram-negative opportunistic flora. It was found that alcohol extracts from the leaves of Symphoricarpos albus have greater antimicrobial activity: they exhibit both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects. Most effectively inhibits the growth of microorganisms extraction obtained using 95 % ethyl alcohol. Thus, the studied phytomaterials are promising for further de-velopment to create effective medicines based on them that have antimicrobial activity. Keywords: snowberry, Symphoricarpos albus, antibacterial activity, water extracts, alcohol extracts, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), sequential dilution method, agar diffusion method.

description: We present Herschel far-infrared (FIR) observations of two sub-mm bright quasars at high redshift: SDSS J1148+5251 (z=6.42) and BR 1202-0725 (z=4.69) obtained with the PACS instrument. Both objects are detected in the PACS photometric bands. The Herschel measurements provide additional data points that constrain the FIR spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of both sources, and they emphasise a broad range of dust temperatures in these objects. For lambda_rest ~< 20mu, the two SEDs are very similar to the average SEDs of quasars at low redshift. In the FIR, however, both quasars show excess emission compared to low-z QSO templates, most likely from cold dust powered by vigorous star formation in the QSO host galaxies. For SDSS J1148+5251 we detect another object at 160mu with a distance of ~10 arcseconds from the QSO. Although no physical connection between the quasar and this object can be shown with the available data, it could potentially confuse low-resolution measurements, thus resulting in an overestimate of the FIR luminosity of the z=6.42 quasar.

Mixture of Tonks-Girardeau gas and Fermi gas in one-dimensional optical lattices

description: We study the Bose-Fermi mixture with infinitely boson-boson repulsion and finite boson-Fermion repulsion. By using a generalized Jordan-Wigner transformation, we show that the system can be mapped to a repulsive Hubbard model and thus can be solved exactly for the case with equal boson and fermion masses. By using the Bethe-ansatz solutions, we investigate the ground state properties of the mixture system. Our results indicate that the system with commensurate filling $n=1$ is a charge insulator but still a superfluid with non-vanishing superfluid density. We also briefly discuss the case with unequal masses for bosons and fermions.

Legitimizing family-supportive contexts in globally-affiliated financial advisory firms in Tokyo, Japan
Creators: name: Harada Bannister, Alice

description: State-level legislative efforts to address the persisting M-curve pattern in female labour force participation in Japan are not translating into widespread implementation and uptake of work-family policies. While it has been established that the gendered norms of the male ideal worker and female primary caregiver are entrenched in the Japanese workplace and significantly impede the compatibility of motherhood and work, few have investigated how the globalization of business is impacting the influence of such norms. Or subsequently, how this affects policy uptake by working mothers. Drawing on document analysis of organizational and nationally-mandated work-family policies, as well as 13 in-depth interviews with professional working mothers at three leading globally-affiliated financial advisory firms in Tokyo, this study examines how women engage in multi-level translation and use of work-family policies. Document analysis of national legislations and the multi-national work-family policies of one of the organizations found that the policies of their Japanese offices corresponded fully to the national legislative framework. Despite this alignment, narratives revealed that the women leveraged the presence of international work values and practices in their workplace to justify their use of progressive work-family policies. The working mothers engaged with policies based on the “global” institutional, social and ideological resources that they perceived as safeguarding their careers. Their use of these resources was interdependent with presumptions of what constituted “local” and “global” values and their association of the international with gender equity and modernity. This study argues that these women used these strategies to legitimate a way of working that recognizes the demands of parenting, thus, exposing possibilities of the legitimization of work-family policies in different cultural contexts.
Inventory of Commission, European Council & Council of the European Union Crisis Capacities

description: This report inventories the crisis management capacities of the European Commission, Council of Ministers of the European Union, and the European Council. It responds to a central concern in the Transcrisis project: that the ‘institutional capacities in the three institutions need to be better measured in terms of how they contribute to preparation, response, and recovery’ (Transcrisis proposal, p. 34). Capacities are defined in terms of politico-administrative features that facilitate the pursuit of seven tasks of effective crisis management, defined by the project as: detection, sense-making, decisionmaking, coordination, meaning-making, communication and accountability. Investigating capacities in seven issue areas, we reveal a host of emerging capacities in recent years (roughly 200 in total). Some of these capacities were expected, others are surprising. When compared with previous studies, the results show intriguing trends in how, where and in what forms capacities have evolved in recent years. While this report serves as a stand-alone deliverable with its own essential findings, it also provides the foundation for further exploration of effectiveness, legitimacy and leadership across Transcrisis subprojects.
