description: Background: Recent but largely separate literatures have examined neurocognitive alterations related to both depression and binge drinking, suggesting similar patterns of impairments in attention control and decisional processes. However, depression and problematic alcohol use tend to co-occur, and few studies have examined whether cognitive processing effects of depression and binge drinking are independent or interacting. Objective: The current study examined joint effects of depressive symptoms and past-year binge drinking on cognitive processing (measured via EEG assessment). Methods: University students aged 18 and over (N = 46; 63.4% female) were recruited based on self-reported depressive symptoms and also provided reports of alcohol use (51% reported significant depression; 46% reported at-least one past-year binge-drinking episode). Participants completed a computerized flanker task, assessing cognitive control processes. Forty-one participants providing useable data were included in analyses. Results: Past-year binge drinking was associated with slower and more accurate behavioral responding. The interaction of binge-drinking and depressive symptoms was related to the magnitude of early attentional components (N1 and N2), with individuals reporting high depressive symptoms and a history of binge-drinking exhibiting attenuated early attentional engagement (e.g., less negative N1) coupled with enhanced attention control processing (e.g., more negative N2). Depressive symptoms also predicted a lack of discriminated P3 amplitudes on congruent versus incongruent trials. Conclusion. The data suggest that depression and binge drinking in the past-year jointly interact to predict early attentional processing, with the pattern of responding consistent with a compensatory response process. Results highlight the importance of future work on binge-drinking accounting for co-occurring depression.

description: The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (N-NABS-HC) was formed in 2011 by Indigenous Peoples and organizations in the United States. Its purposes include initiating discussion, building awareness and developing a national strategy to focus public and political attention on the past and ongoing human rights violations imposed on Native Americans, including thousands of young children and their families, communities and Tribal Nations by the United States’ Boarding School policy. The Coalition works to ensure appropriate redress from responsible government and church institutions and securing resources in support of lasting and true community-directed healing programs. We affirm that the US Boarding School policies severely impacted the thousands of children who experienced forced removal from their parents, families and communities and the brutal physical, sexual, cultural, spiritual and emotional abuse that took place in the government mandated schools. We also stress the importance of redress and restitution for the ongoing intergenerational suffering and cultural loss that are a direct result of these polices for so many Indigenous individuals, families, communities and Tribal Nations across the United States.

description: An ammonia-free synthesis of 3-trifluoromethyl-3-phenyldiaziridine, an important intermediate in the synthesis of a widely used photolabel 3-trifluoromethyl-3-phenyldiazirine, is described. By avoiding the use of volatile, corrosive, and toxic anhydrous ammonia, the major hazard involved in the synthesis of this widely used photolabel is eliminated. Furthermore, this synthesis is convenient compared to the conventional route, since it is significantly less time consuming and, due to the absence of liquid ammonia, this method does not require the maintenance of low temperature for prolonged periods.
Calibration of Polarization Fields and Electro-Optical Response of Group-III Nitride Based c-Plane Quantum-Well Heterostructures by Application of Electro-Modulation Techniques

description: The polarization fields and electro-optical response of PIN-diodes based on nearly lattice-matched InGaN/GaN and InAlN/GaN double heterostructure quantum wells grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy were experimentally quantified. Dependent on the indium content and the applied voltage, an intense near ultra-violet emission was observed from GaN (with fundamental energy gap Eg = 3.4 eV) in the electroluminescence (EL) spectra of the InGaN/GaN and InAlN/GaN PIN-diodes. In addition, in the electroreflectance (ER) spectra of the GaN barrier structure of InAlN/GaN diodes, the three valence-split bands, Γ9, Γ7+, and Γ7−, could selectively be excited by varying the applied AC voltage, which opens new possibilities for the fine adjustment of UV emission components in deep well/shallow barrier DHS. The internal polarization field Epol = 5.4 ± 1.6 MV/cm extracted from the ER spectra of the In0.21Al0.79N/GaN DHS is in excellent agreement with the literature value of capacitance-voltage measurements (CVM) Epol = 5.1 ± 0.8 MV/cm. The strength and direction of the polarization field Epol = −2.3 ± 0.3 MV/cm of the (0001) In0.055Ga0.945N/GaN DHS determined, under flat-barrier conditions, from the Franz-Keldysh oscillations (FKOs) of the electro-optically modulated field are also in agreement with the CVM results Epol = −1.2 ± 0.4 MV/cm. The (absolute) field strength is accordingly significantly higher than the Epol strength quantified in published literature by FKOs on a semipolar (112¯2) oriented In0.12Ga0.88N quantum well.
Algorithms and representations for supporting online music creation with large-scale audio databases
Creators: name: Roma, Gerard
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The rapid adoption of Internet and web technologies has created an opportunity for making music collaboratively by sharing information online. However, current applications for online music making do not take advantage of the potential of shared information. The goal of this dissertation is to provide and evaluate algorithms and representations for interacting with large audio databases that facilitate music creation by online communities. This work has been developed in the context of Freesound, a large-scale, community-driven database of audio recordings shared under Creative Commons (CC) licenses. The diversity of sounds available through this kind of platform is unprecedented. At the same time, the unstructured nature of community-driven processes poses new challenges for indexing and retrieving information to support musical creativity. In this dissertation we propose and evaluate algorithms and representations for dealing with the main elements required by online music making applications based on large-scale audio databases: sound files, including time-varying and aggregate representations, taxonomies for retrieving sounds, music representations and community models. As a generic low-level representation for audio signals, we analyze the framework of cepstral coefficients, evaluating their performance with example classification tasks. We found that switching to more recent auditory filter such as gammatone filters improves, at large scales, on traditional representations based on the mel scale. We then consider common types of sounds for obtaining aggregated representations. We show that several time series analysis features computed from the cepstral coefficients complement traditional statistics for improved performance. For interacting with large databases of sounds, we propose a novel unsupervised algorithm that automatically generates taxonomical organizations based on the low-level signal representations. Based on user studies, we show that our approach can be used in place of traditional supervised classification approaches for providing a lexicon of acoustic categories suitable for creative applications. Next, a computational representation is described for music based on audio samples. We demonstrate through a user experiment that it facilitates collaborative creation and supports computational analysis using the lexicons generated by sound taxonomies. Finally, we deal with representation and analysis of user communities. We propose a method for measuring collective creativity in audio sharing. By analyzing the activity of the Freesound community over a period of more than 5 years, we show that the proposed creativity measures can be significantly related to social structure characterized by network analysis.

description: 1,4-Benzoxazine skeleton holds substantial promise for further exploration owing to its immense pharmacological potential. In this pursuit, a series of twenty novel benzoxazine based arylidinyl succinimide derivatives (23-42) were synthesized in moderate to good yields by the reaction of ethyl 2-(7-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)-3-oxo-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-4(3H)-yl)acetate (22) with various aromatic aldehydes under Wittig reaction conditions in the presence of triphenylphosphine and ethanol. All these synthesized compounds were fully characterized from their spectral data (1H, 13C & 2D NMR, IR, UV, HRMS) and further confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis of a representative compound (32). Antibacterial activity of obtained arylidinyl succinimide derivatives were evaluated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains and were found to exhibit insignificant activity as compared to the reference.

description: Ocean acidification may have severe consequences for marine ecosystems; however, assessing its future impact is difficult because laboratory experiments and field observations are limited by their reduced ecologic complexity and sample period, respectively. In contrast, the geological record contains long-term evidence for a variety of global environmental perturbations, including ocean acidification plus their associated biotic responses. We review events exhibiting evidence for elevated atmospheric CO2, global warming, and ocean acidification over the past ~300 million years of Earth's history, some with contemporaneous extinction or evolutionary turnover among marine calcifiers. Although similarities exist, no past event perfectly parallels future projections in terms of disrupting the balance of ocean carbonate chemistry—a consequence of the unprecedented rapidity of CO2 release currently taking place.

description: Recognition and detailed characterization of solid particles emitted from thermal power plants into the environment is highly important due to their potential detrimental effects on human health. Snow cover is used for the identification of anthropogenic emissions in the environment. However, little is known about types, physical and chemical properties of solid airborne particles (SAP) deposited in snow around thermal power plants. The purpose of this study is to quantify and characterize in detail the traceable SAP deposited in snow near fossil fuel thermal power plant in order to identify its emissions into the environment. Applying the scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, mineral and anthropogenic phase groups in SAP deposited in snow near the plant and in fly ash were observed. We identified quartz, albite and mullite as most abundant mineral phases and carbonaceous matter, slag and spherical particles as dominate anthropogenic phases. This is the first study reporting that zircon and anthropogenic sulphide-bearing, metal oxide-bearing, intermetallic compound-bearing and rare-earth element-bearing particles were detected in snow deposits near thermal power plant. The identified mineral and anthropogenic phases can be used as tracers for fossil fuel combustion emissions, especially with regard to their possible effect on human health.

description: The Island Nations scattered throughout the northern Pacific that make up the region of Micronesia were discovered by various foreign navigators, and yet the lives of Indigenous Peoples from these islands have remained largely unknown to the outside world. Our tiny island nations and territories are comprised of the Kiribati Islands, Nauru, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia (Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap), Palau, the Northern Marianas Islands, and Guam. Micronesian Indigenous youth from across the region share common values, beliefs, and practices in terms of gender roles, economic disparity, social pressures, resiliency to trauma, access and appreciation of nature, and profound belief in the spiritual. First, we will begin with the geographical, physical, and historical makeup of Micronesia. Then, we will discuss each of these themes.

description: The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a permanent international criminal court that tries individuals for the most serious acts, namely genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. It tries only individual persons, not governments or corporations. These persons are those with the ultimate responsibility for such atrocious crimes: they have made the decision to have the crimes committed and given the orders for them to be executed. Thus, although the Court cannot try a company, it can try its officials who decided to commit crimes which would serve the company’s interests. The creators of the Court very much had crimes against Indigenous Peoples in mind, when drafting the Court’s Rome Statute. Crimes against Indigenous Peoples were frequently mentioned in the negotiations that took place. Two aspects of the Statute and the Court are especially important for Indigenous Peoples. First, no formal complaint or procedure is necessary to bring a crime to the attention of the Court. Also, the Statute requires the Court to give special attention to crimes against women and children and to take particular care and have special facilities to help and support them and other victims and witnesses to participate in its work.

description: Article 5 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, informed by article 3, provides convincing grounds for the implementation of existing Indigenous legal systems. Notwithstanding this provision, in New Zealand, the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty extinguishes, replaces and limits this right. Upon the signing of the English text of the Treaty, with Maori (the Indigenous Peoples of Aotearoa/New Zealand), the English superimposed upon Maori their legal, political and social systems. Within this broader context of self-determination, this article examines two issues facing the Maori: the criminal justice system and the issues of resources.

description: Being an Indigenous youth can provide a world full of opportunities as well as serve as a barrier. Youth hold the power to shift the dynamics of the world. If we want change, we must provide leadership support for youth to make change possible. Indigenous youth, in particular, continue to face racism and discrimination and are marginalized in society, but when they have a sense of belonging and a strong cultural identity, they become resilient, powerful individuals. They have roots through their ancestral lineage, wisdom, and intelligence. They are the future leaders of their communities. It is critical to restore leadership from the erosion of their traditional knowledge practices and ancestral lands so that they can begin to create a more sustainable, interdependent system for the coming generations. I have had the privilege of meeting many other Newari and non-Newari people in my life, and this range of experiences has allowed me to understand my role in relation to my Indigenous community as well as in relation to the non-Indigenous world around me. There have been moments where I felt extremely supported and there have also been moments when I experienced clashes between my ideas and the ideas of my community. Each moment has taught me something and helped me understand the world around me. This chapter will showcase my experiences as an Indigenous youth in various sectors, primarily in the area of human rights.

description: As this chapter demonstrates, the MWTRC represents a unique and creative approach to healing in communities affected by historical trauma. This chapter presents the history and context of the MWTRC. Drawing on interviews with the key participants4 in the MWTRC creation process, we explain the structure, mandate and role of the MWTRC and the accompanying community support structures that have been created. Key themes emerging from the interviews with the participants in the process are then discussed. The chapter shows that, originating in a deep understanding of the complex individual, family and community trauma that Wabanaki people have endured, the MWTRC embodies a collective desire for truth, healing and change. It provides a space for the articulation of a silenced history, and a process within which traumatic experiences and the trauma of memory can be shared in solidarity. The uniqueness of the MWTRC—a grassroots, community-organized, Indigenous community-state collaboration— makes it an important process for scholars and practitioners to follow. Although it faces challenges and tensions and involves difficult dialogues on race, privilege and accountability, this MWTRC is a new kind of truth commission, linking reconciliation with decolonization, and truth with practical policy change, in the process creating an important model of community-based conflict transformation and trauma recovery that has potentially wider implications for other communities—Indigenous, and non-Indigenous—seeking to reconcile, and to heal, after a period of long-term trauma. To see why such healing is truly necessary, this chapter turns to a summary of the historical context of trauma that the MWTRC aims to address.

description: The University of Bath operates a Research Data Archive through which it publishes mainly long-tail data underpinning published research. These datasets are assigned DOIs and we do our utmost to ensure that researchers quote those DOIs in their data access statements and reference lists. In the vast majority of cases, this works exactly as intended, but sometimes things go wrong. Because of this, we realised we needed a comprehensive and considered set of procedures for dealing with the various ways the deposit process might go wrong. It also seemed like a good opportunity to prepare for the natural end-of-life for our datasets. Thus the Tombstone Protocol was born.

description: Expanding urbanization has led to an increased risk of urban flooding, which poses a hazard to humans. Scientific assessment of urban flooding vulnerability (UFV) is essential to protect human health and reduce losses. In this study, UFV was assessed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process-Press-State-Response (AHP-PSR) model in Jining City, China. The urban flooding index (UFI) was calculated from 13 indicators. Based on the magnitude of UFI, the vulnerability was classified into five classes. Among them, the areas of very high, high, medium, low and very low vulnerability are 897.21 km2 (8.02%), 3192.14 km2 (28.53%), 2063.22 km2 (18.44%), 39773.96 km2 (35.52%) and 1060.47 km2 (9.48%), respectively. Finally, suggestions were proposed for further urban flooding management based on the results. The results of the study can provide an important reference for the government to prevent and mitigate urban flooding. Meanwhile, the modeling framework can be easily transferred to other cities, providing new ideas for UFV assessment.

In our history, we have always been degraded, but we are incredibly strong young people. We are people who are extremely proud of our country, of who we are, and of our culture. We want to show that to the world. Every day, I see more and more young Indigenous people being proud of who they are and trying to learn parts of our culture that have been lost. I think this is beautiful because wanting to take back our culture and feeling pride in our culture is starting to bring us closer as a community and as Indigenous young people.

description: In order to bring attention to the wide range of uses of the occult and to help open up a new perspective of cultural history, I will approach the topic here as broadly as possible. I will sketch some contexts of the occult in Soviet unofficial culture, and then suggest a typology of approaches to the occult, each of which can be applied to contemporary contexts. To illustrate the impact on current Russian literature, I will then discuss three literary texts, all written after 1990: Olesya Nikolaeva's story A Cripple from Childhood (Invalid detstva), Yury Mamleev's novel Flickering Time (Bluzhdaiushchee vremia) and Vladimir Sorokin's novels Ice (Led) and Bro's Path (Put' Bro). In conclusion, I will address the role and function of the occult in Russia Today.

description: This paper aims to stimulate a shift from an “issue” or “problem” approach in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) studies to a comprehensive interdisciplinary study of civil-military relations, characterized by power-sharing arrangements, a culture of patronage and factionalist behavior. CHT is commonly wedged between two dominant, rather incompatible narratives; one nationalist and security-oriented, the other normative—anchored in a liberal democracy model and human rights. The latter position has been articulated by, among others, the International Chittagong Hill Tracts Commission (CHTC), mostly informed by international law and political science, less so by political anthropology’s descriptive emic (insiders’ points of view) approaches of norms, institutions and practices. Drawing on all these disciplines, this paper seeks to fill this gap, and to substantiate the paper’s main assumption: that alleged regime shifts should be substituted by an analytical emphasis of structural continuity, in order to better explain why the CHT Accord’s principal provisions remain largely unimplemented 20 years after the deal was signed, regardless of parties in executive power. In order to test the validity of this assertion, five main arguments will be sought substantiated. First, civil-military relations are intertwined—a conglomerate—and cemented by patrimonial vertical and horizontal bonds of patronage, non-transparent control over state resources and a power-sharing arrangement that makes the categories “civilian” and “military” fuzzy and overlapping. Second, this tacit power-sharing arrangement has three distinct phases: an early antagonistic one; a second experimental, increasingly institutionalized phase during military rule (with partly civilian elements) and reign; and third, the current phase of uneasy opportunistic co-existence, with (until recently) caretaker governments as a safety valve. Fourth, during times of military rule, the armed conflict in CHT became integral to this tacit national power-sharing structure, a civil-military complex not only in its own right, but one of the Bangladeshi state’s bearing pillars. A final argument is that the sources of reproduction of a political culture of oral rhetoric (agitational in nature), patronage and factionalism need to be fully appreciated in order to explain striking structural continuity across institutions (political parties, military and bureaucracy). Furthermore, a deeper understanding of such societal and systemwide deeply culturally coded behavioral patterns renders it possible to predict and develop approaches that may engender structural change and a new scope for national and international actors to facilitate, steer or help augment positive societal change.

description: The ability to adapt is essential to live and survive in an ever-changing environment such as the human ecosystem. Here we review the literature on adaptation effects of face stimuli to give an overview of existing findings in this area, highlight gaps in its research literature, initiate new directions in face adaptation research, and help to design future adaptation studies. Furthermore, this review should lead to better understanding of the processing characteristics as well as the mental representations of face-relevant information. The review systematizes studies at a behavioral level in respect of a framework which includes three dimensions representing the major characteristics of studies in this field of research. These dimensions comprise (1) the specificity of adapting face information, e.g., identity, gender, or age aspects of the material to be adapted to (2) aspects of timing (e.g., the sustainability of adaptation effects) and (3) transfer relations between face images presented during adaptation and adaptation tests (e.g., images of the same or different identities). The review concludes with options for how to combine findings across different dimensions to demonstrate the relevance of our framework for future studies.

Humanitarian intervention

description: “The atrocity crimes that stain humanity’s conscience make it imperative that leaders transform R2P (Responsibility to Protect) from a vital principle into visible practice.” United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon made this statement in an informal dialogue on the Responsibility to Protect—frequently abbreviated to R2P or RtoP—on the occasion of the principle’s tenth anniversary in September of 2015. According to its supporters, this concept has achieved major, tangible successes since it was adopted in paragraphs 138–140 of the World Summit Outcome Document in 2005. However, the norm’s applications and its sheer existence have not been devoid of controversies. To test whether R2P could be applicable in situations of violence against Indigenous Peoples, this contribution will first outline the history of the development of R2P and will discuss the literature around its normative elements. This chapter will use the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a normative framework through which I will assess the Indigenous right to self-determination as it pertains to mass atrocity prevention and intervention in Indigenous communities. Using the case study of the Indigenous Peoples of the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, I will then analyze whether R2P could be an appropriate international humanitarian intervention mechanism in conflicts victimizing Indigenous Peoples. I will conclude with an assessment of how R2P could be better shaped to address situations of mass atrocities involving Indigenous Peoples, and how this paradigm shift may affect future iterations of the Responsibility to Protect as an evolving norm.

description: Test-to-test consistency was evaluated for a single binary combination of organic chemicals using an assay that examined toxicity over multiple exposure times. Six experiments were conducted. The toxicities of 3-chloro-2-butanone (3C2B), methyl crotonate (MC) and the mixture of both (MX) were evaluated in each experiment at 15, 30 and 45 min of exposure using the Microtox® system. Concentration-response (x/y) curves were generated via the five-parameter logistic minus one-parameter (5PL − 1P) curve-fitting function and were used to develop predicted x/y curves for the dose-addition (DA) and independence (I) models of combined effect. A variety of toxicity (e.g. effective concentration, EC50) and time-dependent toxicity (TDT) endpoints, 5PL − 1P parameters and various combined-effects metrics (e.g. MX/DA) were calculated. Test-to-test consistency was evaluated via the coefficient of variation (CV) or, for TDT, the standard deviation of mean values. In the study, CVs obtained for single-chemical and mixture toxicity endpoints (EC25, EC50 and EC75) at each exposure time were <20, as were those for the predicted DA and I curves. For the MX/DA metric, mixture toxicity was consistent with that predicted for DA at each exposure time in each experiment with CVs <6, despite some substantial variation in TDT for MC-alone at the EC25 and for the 30–45 min time-interval. There was a lower variation in TDT for 3C2B and MX. Mean and CV values for 5PL − 1P-derived slope and asymmetry parameters were also assessed to provide bases for comparisons in future reports.
The Struggle of the Indigenous Peoples of Crimea for Survival

description: Crimean Tatars: today, this small number of people is known all over the world. The history of the Crimean Tatars is full of complicated moments and tragic events, as well as the centuries-old history of Crimea itself. On repeated occasions, representatives of the Indigenous Crimean Tatar Peoples were persecuted and repressed—their territories were seized, they were deported to Central Asia in cattle wagons, and they were not allowed to return to their homeland. Because of such inhumane policies, the number of Crimean Tatars has decreased significantly over the years. In an interview with the author of this chapter, historian Gulnara Abdullaeva stated that there are only about 300,000 Tatars who live compactly in their historical homeland—in Crimea (more than 100,000 still remain in Uzbekistan). The events of recent years served to be a true tragedy for them. Because of their disagreement with the occupation of Crimea by Russia, they are continuously subjected to pressure and repression by the Russian authorities of the peninsula. This is recognized in resolutions made by the United Nations General Assembly. However, the Tatars’ extraordinary ability to unite and their centuries-old experience of non-violent struggle for their rights makes it possible to keep Crimean issues on the agenda at the international level. Crimean Tatars sincerely believe that soon things are bound to improve and people will live freely and will be able to return to their homeland. The older generation often repeats: “We survived deportation in 1944, heat and cold, hunger and death, inhumane conditions of life in a foreign land. After nearly half a century, we were able to return to our homeland. We will definitely survive this, too.” And trust me, they are right. Their great desire to live freely on their land will overcome any obstacle.

description: This contribution to the very important topic of Indigenous access to justice, and truth and reconciliation processes is informed by my role as one of three Commissioners of the first national Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) ever to take place in Canada. We are in the midst of implementing a five-year TRC mandate which began in 2009. It is a complex, multi-faceted mandate, historical both in its nature, and in its content and purpose. We are reviewing the history of the injurious relations between the Canadian state and the Indigenous Peoples in Canada and the legacy of that history in today’s lives, with our lens specifically centered on the 130-year long practice of forced residential schooling for Indigenous children. We are also re-writing that history, by documenting, sharing, and safeguarding a perspective of it that has never been told or taught, the perspective of the Indigenous Peoples.
